Career Expectations Of Accounting Students
Authors: Elam Dennis , Mendez Francis 
Published: February 2016

The demographic make-up of accounting students is dramatically changing. This study sets out to measure how well the profession is ready to accommodate what may be very different needs and expectations of this new generation of students. Non-traditional students are becoming more and more of a tradition in the current college classroom. Historically, accounting has been an anglo-male-dominated profession. The make-up of college students now comprises some 57% women. The enrollment in some college accounting classes is even more skewed with women in Texas representing over 80% of the enrollment. A further changing demographic is the emergence of Hispanic females in accounting classes. Hispanics now make up approximately 20% of the Texas population. Texas is the second largest state economy in the USA and has recently become a Majority/Minority state. The conclusion is made that the demographic make-up of college students entering the accounting profession is undergoing profound and permanent change. Female Hispanics will make up a significant segment of accounting employment. How will the expectations of this markedly different group of students mesh with the existing culture of the accounting workplace? Other researchers have looked at the workplace environment in terms of flextime and location. An important part of this study involves ‘behavioral accounting’ research. Expectancy theory offers explanations for the motivation of behavior.

Perceived Value Of Educational Hypermedia: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Gao Yuan , Wu Xiaoyu 
Published: February 2016

This paper explores the idea of perceived value of educational hypermedia by extending prior research in advertising and information systems. It proposes that the value of a course support site comes from both its information content and users’ experience whenthey visit the site. The cognitive antecedents of a site’s perceived valueinclude perceived informativeness, perceived entertainment and perceived irritation. Through a field study using a course companion site and the subsequent data analysis via structural equation modeling (SEM), this study confirms that learners appreciate informative content in an entertaining format in accessing Internet-based course support. Findings of this study will help researchers and educators better understand the cognitive dimensions that enhance the perceived value of a learning technology.

Authors: Cardy Thomas J.A. , Tzounos Caitlin E. , Volk Holger A. , De Decker Steven 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the anatomic distribution of thoracolumbar and lumbar intervertebral disk extrusions (IVDEs) in English Cocker Spaniels as compared with findings in Dachshunds and to characterize clinical findings in English Cocker Spaniels with thoracolumbar or lumbar IVDEs affecting various regions of the vertebral column.
DESIGN Retrospective observational study.
ANIMALS 81 English Cocker Spaniels and 81 Dachshunds with IVDEs.
PROCEDURES Signalment, clinical signs, neurologic examination findings, and affected intervertebral disk spaces (IVDSs) were recorded for both breeds. Management methods and outcomes were recorded for English Cocker Spaniels. Lesions were categorized as thoracolumbar (IVDSs T9–10 through L1–2), midlumbar (L2–3 through L4–5), or caudal lumbar (L5–6 through L7–S1).
RESULTS Midlumbar and caudal lumbar IVDEs were significantly more common in English Cocker Spaniels than in Dachshunds. English Cocker Spaniels with caudal lumbar IVDEs had a longer median duration of clinical signs before evaluation and more commonly had unilateral pelvic limb lameness or spinal hyperesthesia as the predominant clinical sign than did those with IVDEs at other sites. Those with caudal lumbar IVDEs less commonly had neurologic deficits and had a higher median neurologic grade (indicating lesser severity), shorter mean postoperative hospitalization time, and faster mean time to ambulation after surgery than those with other sites affected. These variables did not differ between English Cocker Spaniels with thoracolumbar and midlumbar IVDEs.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Caudal and midlumbar IVDEs were more common in English Cocker Spaniels than in Dachshunds. English Cocker Spaniels with caudal lumbar IVDE had clinical signs and posttreatment responses that differed from those in dogs with midlumbar or thoracolumbar IVDE.

Published: January 2016

ABSTRACT
Studies conducted among Catholics and Protestants have shown higher levels of prayer and religious experience among women compared to men and have suggested that these gender differences may be a reflection of differences in personality and socialization. However, the impact of orthodox religion on adolescents’ psychological and social wellbeing remains unknown.
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of Orthodox religious studies (Orthodox Catechism) on gender differences in adolescents’ needs for affiliation and achievement and their effect on adolescents’ attitudes about their purpose in life.
This study is the first to show that Orthodox Catechism affects adolescents’ needs for affiliative and achievement motivation in a gender-dependent manner. Orthodox Catechism enhances the competition motives of male adolescents and has a significant influence on the development of emotional support and goal achievement as well as providing a source of pleasure for female adolescents. Thus, the Orthodox Catechism is related to gender differences in adolescents’ sense of purpose in life.
In conclusion, our findings emphasize the effects of the Orthodox Catechism on the expression of adolescents’ psycho-emotional characteristics, demonstrating that the Orthodox religion has a positive influence on adolescents’ needs for affiliation and achievement and affects their attitudes about their purpose in life.
Evaluaton of the Use of Bone Implants as a Therapy for Deep Defects in the Parodoncium
Authors: Stevanović Momir , Ćirić Dušica 
Published: January 2016

ABSTRACT
Reconstruction of infrabony defects created by the chronic inflammatory processes of parodontopathy represents a major clinical problem in paradontology.
The objective of this research was to compare and evaluate the efficiency of two bone substituents at reversing the deep infrabony defects in the paradentium after the application of a new “Biohapel” material consisting of biphasic calcium phosphate/poly DL-lactide-co-glycolide.
This study included 12 patients of both genders with an average age of 49.7 years who were suffering from clinically manifested parodontopathy. The main criteria for selecting patients were the presence of six similar infrabony periodontal defects that were at least 4 mm deep and in the lower side of the teeth on both sides of the jaw. After applying a basic causal parodontopathy treatment, defects were divided into two groups, including an experimental group (n=72) in which defects were reconstructed using the “Biohapel” bone substituent (on one side of the lower jaw) and a control group (n=72) in which infrabony defects were reconstructed using β tricalcium phosphate (βTCP) (CerasorbR), a preparation very commonly applied in regenerative parodontopathy treatment (on the other side of the lower jaw). Markers to assess treatment efficacy were determined before surgery and 6 months after surgery by measuring the depth of periodontal pocket and the level of the junctional epithelium.
We observed statistically significant differences in the periodontal regeneration markers between the experimental and control groups (p<0.05).
Application of “Biohapel” during the surgical treatment of infrabony defects in the paradentium significantly improves the bone regeneration of the paradentium when compared with the standard application of β-tricalcium phosphate .
The Key Role of the Leading Emerging Bric Markets in the Future of Global Health Care
Authors: Jakovljevic Mihajlo B. 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
The acronym ‘BRIC’ was coined in 2001 to describe the largest and most promising emerging markets outside the established, post-war, high-income economies. The nominal GDP growth rates of Brazil, Russia, India and China outpaced the growth rates of Western Europe, North America and Japan before, during and after the global economic crisis. Th is global phenomenon will have a significant impact on many branches of the economy, including the global demand for and provision of healthcare services. The key driver of this economic development is the existence of an enormous middle class in each of the BRIC countries. Both health insurance coverage and the package of services covered by health insurance plans are expanding in BRIC countries. Equally important is the overall increase in purchasing power in BRIC nations, which has been followed by the increased affordability of a vast portion of the medical goods and services that are commonly paid for out-of-pocket by ordinary citizens. When considering the changing landscape of global health care, one should also account for the slow and steady economic growth of most mature, saturated markets. Th is supports the notion that although consumer demand for health services remains strong in wealthy countries, the true expansion of the global market is occurring elsewhere. All major market analysis agencies have acknowledged this development and urged multinational healthcare companies to focus on emerging markets, and BRICs in particular, if they want to survive. Investment in emerging markets will remain the key to long-term profits and sustainability for pharmaceutical firms and medical equipment manufacturers across the globe for many years to come.
Anti-gbm Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis (Syndroma Goodpasture): A Case Report
Authors: Figurek Andreja , Vlatkovic Vlastimir , Vojvodic Dragan , Grujicic Milorad 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
Goodpasture syndrome is a severe illness caused by the formation of antibodies to the glomerular basement membrane and alveolus with consequential damage to renal and pulmonary function. With current therapy, long-term survival is more than 50%. Before, the mortality was higher than 90%.
In our patient, the disease began as dysuria, continued as anaemic syndrome, and ended with the development of end-stage renal failure.
Immunosuppressive therapy with pulse doses of methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide has put the disease into remission, but the permanent impairment of renal function remained.
Early diagnosis of Goodpasture syndrome helps preserve renal function and improves patients’ survival. In patients who achieve remission, a kidney transplant can be considered. Currently, our patient is awaiting transplantation
The Effects of Acute Vibroacoustic Microvibrations on the Rat Heart Rate, Rhythm and Structure / Efekti Akutne Primene Vibroakustičkih Mikrovibracija Na Frekvenciju, Ritam I Strukturu Srca Pacova
Authors: Kornjaca Dusko , Jakovljevic Vladimir , Zivkovic Stefan , Djuric Marko , Puskas Nela , Djuric Dragan 
Published: January 2016

ABSTRACT
The body surface of homeothermic organisms produces constant microvibrations. In the past, many studies were conducted on this topic, and the amplitude of the microvibrations was described as a sensitive marker of muscle tension and body activity. Subsequent studies indicated that the frequency of the microvibrations is an important variable affecting the body. The aim of this research was to examine the effects of the vibroacoustic microvibrations on the rate, rhythm and structure of the rat heart during physiological conditions. Microvibrations of specific frequency and amplitude were induced by a Vitafon-T, four different modes were used, and the effects of the microvibrations on ECG characteristics and the wall structure of the rat heart were examined. After the application of microvibrations (lasting 10-60 min), no statistically significant changes occurred in the heart rate, but the amplitudes significantly increased after 10, 20 and 30 minutes, and increased even more after 60 minutes. No changes in the heart wall structure were found. Acute in vivo application of vibroacoustic microvibrations in the rats did not produce significant effects on the heart rate and rhythm; however, it increased the amplitude of the R wave by 25-32% in the second standard ECG lead but did not lead to structural changes in the rat heart wall.

Time Series Modeling for U.S. Natural Gas Forecasting
Authors: Al-Fattah Saud Mohammed 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Faced with diminishing supplies of domestic crude oil and increased demand for energy, the US has come to rely on imported crude and domestic supplies of natural gas. During the last decade US natural gas production has risen about 10%, but it still fails to meet demand. This failure has resulted in significant increases in natural gas prices. We believe that developing a reliable method to forecast US natural gas production rates and reserves will benefit gas producers, consumers and policy makers.
This paper presents one methodology for developing forecasting models for predicting U.S. natural gas production, proved reserves, and annual depletion to year 2025 using a stochastic (time series) modeling approach. The methodology is not mechanistic. A mechanistic model would examine individual geologic settings, exploration success, the physics of gas production and the rate of exploitation for provinces, basins, and reservoirs. However, to do so would result in an extraordinarily massive model that would be difficult, if not impossible, to develop and use. Instead we used a simpler approach which takes advantage of established trends in easily obtained published data.
Various time series models were tested and validated using data that are not used in the mathematical development of the models. Having adequately validated these time series models using historical data we believe that they can be used to make at least short time forecasts. Comparison of results of this study with other published forecast is also presented. Our forecasts show that U.S. gas production rate will maintain a production plateau of 18.7 Tcf/yr from 2005 to 2008 after which gas production will increase gradually from 19.0 Tcf/yr in 2010 to reach 22.5 Tcf/yr in 2025. We predict that U.S. gas production will have an average annual rate of increase of 0.5% from 2005 to 2015 after which the average annual rate of change of production will increase to 1.2% for the period of 2015 to 2025. Our forecasts also show that U.S. gas depletion rate will increase from 10.6%/yr in 2005 to 13.4%/yr in 2025. While the reserves discovery rate increases, U.S. gas proved reserves are predicted to increase from 197 Tcf in 2005 to 215 Tcf in 2010. Afterwards, the gas proved reserves will increase at an annual rate of 1.3% and are expected to reach 263 Tcf in 2025.
Structural Styles and Tectonic Evolution of Onshore and Offshore Abu Dhabi, UAE
Authors: Johnson Christopher , Hauge Tom , Al-Menhali Saeed , Bin Sumaidaa Saleh , Sabin Brian , West Brian 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Brittle deformation of carbonate reservoirs was characterized by applying advanced visualization and interpretation techniques to 18 recent 3-D seismic surveys in Abu Dhabi. The excellent data quality afforded a unique opportunity to integrate the broad range of observed structural styles and detailed structural geometries into a unified tectonic model. This resulted in a better and more thorough definition of the structure and hydrocarbon distribution of Abu Dhabi in the context of the entire Arabian Platform.
The observed structures resulted from gentle basement inversion, salt-tectonics, and detached thrusting. The N- and NE-trending anticlines that form the giant onshore fields grew during Late Cretaceous, basement-involved foreland inversion. Systematic sets of remarkably linear, small-offset conjugate fault zones, oriented approximately N75W and N45W, cross the antliclines at high angles to the axial traces. The consistent orientations and shear sense of the fault zones suggests they result from regional WNW-ESE compression, which also drove late Cretaceous inversion and fold growth. Development of the salt-related anticlines was influenced by the same late Cretaceous compression, as well as multiple episodes of salt movement. Both sets of anticlines share the regional fault trends, but the salt-related fault zones have more variable orientations and timing. Mechanical stratigraphy clearly influences fault zone spacing, offset, and segmentation, both laterally and vertically. Interpretations of the fault zones as single fault planes underestimate their geometric complexity. The key to unravelling and communicating the geometric complexity is making use of a combination of data optimization and advanced 3-D visualization and interpretation techniques. Quantification of the orientations, segmentation, offset magnitudes, and spacing of the fault zones provides a foundation for defining their implications for fluid flow within the reservoirs.
Information Content in Forward 4D-Seismic Modelling and Elastic Inversion
Authors: Skorstad Arne , Kolbjornsen Odd , Drottning Asmund , Gjoystdal Havar , Huseby Olaf Kristoffer 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Elastic seismic inversion is a tool frequently used in analysis of seismic data. Elastic inversion relies on a simplified seismic model, and generally produces 3D cubes for Vp, Vs and density. By applying rock physics theory such volumes may be interpreted in terms of lithology and fluid properties. Understanding the robustness of forward and inverse techniques is important when deciding how much information seismic data really carry.
This paper discusses the observed deviation between a reference and simulated reservoir, and its dependency on the seismic parameters and the reservoir characterization parameters. The ability to utilize the results from a 4D seismic survey in reservoir characterization will depend on several aspects. To investigate this, a loop that performs independent forward seismic modeling and elastic inversion at two time stages has been established.
The multi-disciplinary workflow has several independent steps:Generation of a synthetic reference reservoir, by realistic geostatistical modeling.Flow simulation of the reference reservoir to predict reservoir conditions at survey acquisition times.Establishing a relationship between petrophysical and fluid properties and seismic parameters by a rock physics model.Generation of seismic AVA responses corresponding to reservoir conditions at base and monitor survey times.Elastic seismic inversion of both AVA response sets.Simulation of lithology and fluid parameters conditioned on seismic inversion.Comparison of static reservoir parameters of reference and simulated realization.Comparison of seismic responses at initial and monitor survey times.
By working on a realistic synthetic reservoir, full knowledge of the reservoir characteristics is achieved. This makes the evaluation of the questions regarding the fundamental dependency between the seismic and petrophysical domains stronger. The theoretical limitations of the information content of the seismic data, including 4D, are investigated since the synthetic reservoir is an ideal case with accuracy never achieved in the applied situation.
The production deviation between the reference and predicted reservoir was significantly decreased by using 4D seismic data in addition to the 3D inverted elastic parameters.
