description: The primary objective of this study is to examine the impact of food insecurity on child stunting using household survey data from Tanzania. A recursive bivariate probit model is estimated to examine the relationship between food insecurity and stunting. The results show that while programs like income support and human capital formation through education can be effective in enhancing food security, more targeted programs to increase mother’s education and promote health, nutrition, and sanitary practices are likely to be effective in reducing the incidence of stunting in Tanzania.

description: Urbanization construction is a historical mission of China’s modernization construction, and is also the largest potential for expanding domestic demand. Actively promoting rural urbanization is favorable for expanding consumption and boosting economic growth. Through building VAR model using data of urbanization level and consumption in 1978-2012, this paper made Granger causality test, impulse response analysis, and variance decomposition analysis on the relation between urbanization and economic growth. In addition, from comparing the effect of urbanization on expanding rural consumption and urban consumption, it is known that the effect of growth of urbanization rate on urban consumption is lower than rural consumption in short term, but urbanization level has a greater contribution to growth of urban consumption in the long run.
title: The relationship between sustainability-related user generated contents and Vancouver Island visitors’ intention to purchase sustainable products
Creators: name: Shahidi, Sepideh

Subjects: subject: Sustainable tourism

description: Thanks to the rapid growth of online resources, tourism consumers can share their online purchase experiences with other users on popular platforms such as Trip Advisor (Henning-Thurau, Gwinner, Walsh, & Gremler, 2004). It is also becoming increasingly important for people to learn from other customers' reviews prior to purchasing tourism products. In addition, there has been a paradigm shift towards purchasing sustainable tourism products; however, the relationship between sustainability-related user generated content (UGC) and consumers’ purchase intention is yet to be investigated in greater detail. The present study investigates factors that influence visitors' intention to purchase sustainable tourism products through online platforms. The theory of planned behaviour (TPB; Ajzen, 1991) guided the framework of this study. The TPB posits that attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control predict people’s behavioural intentions. With a focus on online purchase behaviours, this research extended the TPB by adding ecological worldview (New Ecological Paradigm; NEP; Dunlap et al., 2000) values, beliefs, and personal norms (Value-Belief-Norm theory; VBN; Stern, 2000) in an attempt to improve the theory's predictive power. This research utilized an online questionnaire to obtain data. Social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram as well as Vancouver Island's tourism and recreation organizations' (e.g., Tourism Nanaimo, Tourism Victoria, Tourism Vancouver Island, etc.) websites were used to recruit participants. The survey included 59 questions measuring online purchases. Data were collected from visitors of Vancouver Island who were over 19 years old. The partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach was used to test the hypothesized relationships in the proposed model. The result of structural equation modelling showed that attitude towards purchasing environmentally sustainable products was the strongest predictor, and found to be positively and significantly related to the purchase intention. The impacts of the subjective norm, PBC, value, ecological worldview on sustainable purchase intention were all positive and significant. Based on the results, the influence of beliefs and personal norms on sustainable purchase intention was not statistically significant. This study discusses these associations and their practical and theoretical implications.

description: Abstract: Background: Schools are an important setting for health promotion. In England, around one third of publicly funded schools have become independent of local authorities since 2000 and are now academies, run by an academy trust. The aim of this research was to examine attitudes towards health promotion held by academy trust leaders and senior staff. The research questions were: 1. How do academy trusts in England perceive their role in health promotion amongst students? 2. How are decisions around health promotion made in academy trusts? 3. What factors inhibit and encourage health promotion in academy schools? 4. How might public health academics and practitioners best engage with academy schools to facilitate health promotion activity and research? Methods: Qualitative study utilising semi-structured interviews. Twenty five academy and school leaders were purposively sampled to achieve variation in trust size and type. In addition, five respondents were recruited from public and third-sector agencies seeking to work with or influence academy trusts around health promotion. Framework analysis was used to determine emergent themes and identify relationships between themes and respondent type. Early findings were triangulated at a stakeholder event with 40 delegates from academia, local authority public health teams, and third sector organisations. Results: There is wide variation amongst senior academy and trust leaders in how they perceive the role of academies in promoting health and wellbeing amongst students. There is also variability in whether academy trusts responsible for more than one school adopt a centralised strategy to health promotion or allow individual schools autonomy. This was dependent on the trust leaders’ attitude and interest in health promotion rather than any perceived external accountability. Identified barriers to health promotion include financial constraints, a narrow focus on educational outcomes and school performance, and limited understanding about effective health interventions. Conclusion: In the current absence of national policy or guidance around health promotion in schools, health has variable status in academies in England. There is a need to better engage all academy trusts in health promotion and support them to implement a strategic approach to health promotion.
CP-violation in K_{S,L}->π^{+}π^{-}γand K_{S,L}->π^{+}π^{-}e^{+}e^{-} decays

description: The dependence of K_{S,L}->π^{+}π^{-}γdecay probabilities on photon polarization is calculated. The phases of terms of amplitude that arise from the pion-pion interaction are obtained by using a simple realistic model of pion-pion interaction via virtual ρ-meson, instead of the ChPT. The results are compared with those of other authors and the origin of slight discrepancies is explained. It is shown that the standard ChPT approach for K_{S,L}-> π^{+}π^{-}γdecays cannot reproduce the contribution of the ρ-meson to the P-wave ππinteraction. The departure of the photon spectrum from pure bremsstrahlung due to the pion loop contribution to the direct emission amplitude is calculated. It is shown that the interference between the terms of amplitude with different CP-parity appears only when the photon is polarized (linearly or circularly). Instead of measuring the linear polarization, the angular correlation between the π^{+}π^{-} and e^{+}e^{-} planes in K_{S,L}->π^{+}π^{-}e^{+}e^{-} decay can be studied.

description: With the development of electronic commerce, there is a special phenomenon in rural areas of China that a lot of farmers in these areas depend on opening shops on Taobao online for a living. The products are made from the village workshop, and farmers become fully- fledged network businessmen. Electronic business platform mode of "Taobao Village" is the result of integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries. In this study, we take two kinds of typical Taobao villages (Dongfeng Village and Yanxia Village) as sample areas, and conduct comparative analysis of this new rural business model based on field survey data, case studies and theoretical research. We also probe into the problems in the development of Taobao villages, and set forth the recommendations for the new rural business model.

Subjects: Environmental Science

description: The overarching aim of this research is to analyse processes for the inclusion of women and the role of women employees in the Nepalese forestry bureaucracy. The study uses a ‘gender lens’ drawn from Feminist Institutionalism (FI). The thesis adopts qualitative approach to research by collecting data through interviews and focus group discussions. The findings of the research revealed that forest bureaucracy in Nepal is largely male-dominated in terms of organizational culture, formal and informal institutions, structure and agency and power relations. Some alternative avenues for the development of a women-inclusive forest bureaucracy are recommended.

description: Scattering and ionizing cross sections and rates are calculated for ultracold collisions between metastable helium atoms using a fully quantum-mechanical close-coupled formalism. Homonuclear collisions of the bosonic ${}^{4}$He$^{*} +{}^{4}$He$^{*}$ and fermionic ${}^{3}$He$^{*} + {}^{3}$He$^{*}$ systems, and heteronuclear collisions of the mixed ${}^{3}$He$^{*} +{}^{4}$He$^{*}$ system, are investigated over a temperature range 1 $μ$K to 1 K. Carefully constructed Born-Oppenheimer molecular potentials are used to describe the electrostatic interaction between the colliding atoms, and complex optical potentials used to represent loss through ionization from the ${}^{1,3}Σ$ states. Magnetic spin-dipole mediated transitions from the ${}^{5}Σ$ state are included and results reported for spin-polarized and unpolarized systems. Comparisons are made with experimental results, previous semi-classical models, and a perturbed single channel model.

description: Difluoroenol silyl ethers are a unique class of enol silyl ethers that are widely used as a powerful difluoroalkylating reagent to incorporate difluoromethylene groups into organic molecules. In this context, we revealed a fluorine effect that the difluoroenol silyl ethers exhibit the oxygen nucleophilicity in lieu of traditional α-carbon nucleophilicity toward the aromatic iodonium/sulfonium species, thus allowing us to develop difluoroalkylative [3,3]-rearrangement of aryl iodanes and aryl sulfoxides and the difluoroalkylative dearomatization of aryl sulfoxides. In this article, we summarize these works and illustrate the logic of our design.

description: We present the results of an XMM-Newton observation of the slowly rotating ($P = 3.4$ s), highly magnetized ($B \approx 3 \times 10^{13}$ G) radio pulsar PSR J0726-2612. A previous X-ray observation with the Chandra satellite showed that some of the properties of PSR J0726-2612 are similar to those of the X-ray Dim Isolated Neutron Stars (XDINSs), a small class of nearby slow pulsars characterized by purely thermal X-ray spectra and undetected in the radio band. We confirm the thermal nature of the X-ray emission of PSR J0726-2612, which can be fit by the sum of two blackbodies with temperatures $kT_1 = 0.074_{-0.011}^{+0.006}$ keV and $kT_2 = 0.14_{-0.02}^{+0.04}$ keV and emitting radii $R_1 = 10.4_{-2.8}^{+10.8}$ km and $R_2 = 0.5_{-0.3}^{+0.9}$ km, respectively (assuming a distance of 1 kpc). A broad absorption line modeled with a Gaussian profile centred at $0.39_{-0.03}^{+0.02}$ keV is required in the fit. The pulse profile of PSR J0726-2612 is characterized by two peaks with similar intensity separated by two unequal minima, a shape and pulsed fraction that cannot be reproduced without invoking magnetic beaming of the X-ray emission. The presence of a single radio pulse suggests that in PSR J0726-2612 the angles that the dipole axis and the line of sight make with the rotation axis, $ξ$ and $χ$ respectively, are similar. This geometry differs from that of the two radio-silent XDINSs with a double peaked pulse profile similar to that of PSR J0726-2612, for which $ξ\sim 90^\circ$ and $χ\sim 45^\circ$ have been recently estimated. These results strengthen the similarity between PSR J0726-2612 and the XDINSs and support the possibility that the lack of radio emission from the latter might simply be due to an unfavourable viewing geometry.

description: We make an empirical analysis of regional characteristics of influence factors of financial exclusion by using the data of types and levels of financial institutions in China from 1998 to 2012. The study shows that the number of financial institutions continues to increase, but with uneven distribution; the density of financial institutions increases steadily and the gap between the eastern regions and the Midwest is huge; the commercial banks of the eastern regions account for the highest proportion but the rate of basic outlets of the commercial bank is low, the rate of basic outlets of the rural institution bank is relatively higher, and the proportion of the Midwest rural banks is high. Even though the financial exclusion eases, large differences still exist in different areas and the situation is rather critical in rural areas, especially the financial exclusion in western rural areas is the worst. The economic development level, area scale, government expenditure, personal savings level, per capita consumption and educational level have different effects on financial exclusion. Accordingly, this paper puts forward the recommendations for coordinating the financial resource from all regions and reducing the regional financial exclusion.

description: I construct 1/16, 1/8 and 1/4 BPS Wilson loops in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and argue that expectation values of 1/4 BPS loops do not receive quantum corrections. At strong coupling, non-renormalization of supersymmetric Wilson loops implies subtle cancellations in the partition function of the AdS string with special boundary conditions. The cancellations are shown to occur in the semiclassical approximation.

description: Greening civil aviation is key to our global future. So radical aircraft propulsion technologies must be developed urgently. Most likely to succeed in this grand challenge (promising full decarbonisation) are hydrogen (H2) and electrification. H2 is an inevitable solution for a fully sustainable aviation future, via hybrid/fuel cell technologies for short to medium range and H2 combustion in gas turbines for longer missions. This presentation provides an overview of the ongoing EU H2020 "ENABLing CryogEnic Hydrogen-Based CO2-free Air Transport" (ENABLEH2) project being coordinated by Cranfield University. The case for LH2 for civil aviation is discussed followed by the strategic importance and overall scope of ENABLEH2. A summary of the key achievements to date is presented for the ENABLEH2 research on: Ultra-low NOx hydrogen micromix combustion; Fuel system heat management – to exploit the formidable heat sink potential of LH2; as well as Safety and LH2 Aircraft "Technology Evaluation".

description: In recent years, the field of microwave optomechanics has emerged as leading platform for achieving quantum control of macroscopic mechanical objects. Implementations of microwave optomechanics to date have coupled microwave photons to mechanical resonators using a moving capacitance. While simple and effective, the capacitive scheme suffers from inherent and practical limitations on the maximum achievable coupling strength. Here, we experimentally implement a fundamentally different approach: flux-mediated optomechanical coupling. In this scheme, mechanical displacements modulate the flux in a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) that forms the inductor of a microwave resonant circuit. We demonstrate that this flux-mediated coupling can be tuned in-situ by the magnetic flux in the SQUID, enabling nanosecond flux tuning of the optomechanical coupling. Tuning the external in-plane magnetic transduction field, we observe a linear scaling of the single-photon coupling strength, reaching rates comparable to the current state-of-the-art. Finally, this linear scaling is predicted to overcome the limits of single-photon coupling rates in capacitive optomechanics, opening the door for a new generation of groundbreaking optomechanical experiments in the single-photon strong coupling regime.

description: Abstract: Background: Syrian healthcare workers (HCWs) are among those who fled the Syrian conflict only to face further social and economic challenges in host countries. In Lebanon, this population group cannot formally practice, yet many are believed to be operating informally. These activities remain poorly documented and misunderstood by the academic, policy and humanitarian communities. This study aims to understand mechanisms of informal provision of services, the facilitators and barriers for such practices and to present policy recommendations for building on this adaptive mechanism. Method: A qualitative descriptive study based on an in-depth interview approach with a sample of Syrian informal healthcare workers (IHCWs) residing in Lebanon was adopted. Known sponsor networks followed by snowball sampling approaches were used to recruit participants. Data collection occurred between September and December 2017. All interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and translated into English. An inductive thematic analysis was used. Results: Twenty-two participants were recruited. Motivational factors that led HCWs to practice informally were personal (e.g. source of income/livelihood), societal (cultural competency), and need to fulfill a gap in the formal health service sector. Being connected to a network of IHCWs facilitated initiation of the informal practice until eventually becoming part of a community of informal practice. The central challenge was the informal nature of their practice and its negative consequences. Most IHCWs were afraid of arrest by the government upon identification. Most interviewees indicated being discriminated against by host communities in the form of differential wages and tense interpersonal relationships. Almost all recommended a change in policy allowing them to practice formally under a temporary registration until their return to Syria. Conclusion: Our study confirmed the presence of IHCWs operating in Lebanon. Despite its informal nature, participants perceived that this practice was filling a gap in the formal health system and was helping to alleviate the burden of IHCWs and refugee health needs. In line with interviewees’ views, we recommend that policy decision makers within humanitarian agencies and the Government of Lebanon explore the possibilities for allowing temporary registration of displaced Syrian IHCW to benefit local host communities and refugee populations.

description: We adopt the energy momentum relation of charged particles to study the thermodynamics laws and weak cosmic censorship conjecture of $D$-dimensional $f(R)$ AdS black holes in different phase spaces by considering charged particle absorption. In the normal phase space, it turns out that the laws of thermodynamic and the weak cosmic censorship conjecture are valid. In the extended phase space, though the first law of thermodynamics is valid, the second law of thermodynamics is invalid. More interestingly, the weak cosmic censorship conjecture is shown to be violated only in higher-dimensional near-extremal $f(R)$ AdS black holes. In addition, the magnitudes of the violations for both the second law and weak cosmic censorship conjecture are dependent on the charge $Q$, constant scalar curvature $f'(R_0)$, AdS radius $l$, dimension parameters $p$, and their variations.

description: Abstract: Background: There is considerable uncertainty regarding the impact of tableware size on food consumption. Most existing studies have used small and unrepresentative samples and have not followed recommended procedures for randomised controlled trials, leading to increased risk of bias. In the first pre-registered study to date, we examined the impact on consumption of using larger versus smaller plates for self-served food. We also assessed impact on the underlying meal micro-structure, such as number of servings and eating rate, which has not previously been studied. Methods: The setting was a purpose-built naturalistic eating behaviour laboratory. A general population sample of 134 adult participants (aged 18–61 years) was randomly allocated to one of two groups varying in the size of plate used for self-serving lunch: large or small. The primary outcome was amount of food energy (kcal) consumed during a meal. Additionally, we assessed impact on meal micro-structure, and examined potential modifying effects of executive function, socio-economic position, and sensitivity to perceptual cues. Results: There was no clear evidence of a difference in consumption between the two groups: Cohen’s d = 0.07 (95% CI [− 0.27, 0.41]), with participants in the large plate group consuming on average 19.2 (95% CI [− 76.5, 115.0]) more calories (3%) compared to the small plate group (large: mean (SD) = 644.1 (265.0) kcal, versus small: 624.9 (292.3) kcal). The difference between the groups was not modified by individual characteristics. There was no evidence of impact on meal micro-structure, with the exception of more food being left on the plate when larger plates were used. Conclusions: This study suggests that previous meta-analyses of a low-quality body of evidence may have considerably overestimated the effects of plate size on consumption. However, the possibility of a clinically significant effect – in either direction – cannot be excluded. Well-conducted trials of tableware size in real-world field settings are now needed to determine whether changing the size of tableware has potential to contribute to efforts to reduce consumption at population-level. Trial registration: The study protocol (https://osf.io/e3dfh/) and data analysis plan (https://osf.io/sh5u7/) were pre-registered on the Open Science Framework.

Type 2 diabetes

description: Abstract: The type 2 diabetes epidemic and one of its predisposing factors, obesity, are major influences on global health and economic burden. It is accepted that genetics and the current environment contribute to this epidemic; however, in the last two decades, both human and animal studies have consolidated considerable evidence supporting the ‘developmental programming’ of these conditions, specifically by the intrauterine environment. Here, we review the various in utero exposures that are linked to offspring obesity and diabetes in later life, including epidemiological insights gained from natural historical events, such as the Dutch Hunger Winter, the Chinese famine and the more recent Quebec Ice Storm. We also describe the effects of gestational exposure to endocrine disruptors, maternal infection and smoking to the fetus in relation to metabolic programming. Causal evidence from animal studies, motivated by human observations, is also discussed, as well as some of the proposed underlying molecular mechanisms for developmental programming of obesity and type 2 diabetes, including epigenetics (e.g. DNA methylation and histone modifications) and microRNA interactions. Finally, we examine the effects of non-pharmacological interventions, such as improving maternal dietary habits and/or increasing physical activity, on the offspring epigenome and metabolic outcomes.

description: Modifications of the DGMLY relation for calculation of electromagnetic $π$-meson mass difference based on the Chiral Symmetry Restoration phenomenon at high energies as well as the Operator Product Expansion of quark densities for vector ($ρ$) and axial-vector ($a_1$) meson fields difference are proposed. In the calculations higher meson resonances in vector and axial-vector channels are taken into account. It is shown that the inclusion of the first $ρ$ and $a_1$ radial excitations improves the results for electromagnetic $π$-meson mass difference as compared with the previous ones. Estimations on the electromagnetic $ρ$ and $a_1$-meson decay constants and the constant $L_{10}$ of effective chiral Lagrangian are obtained from the generalized Weinberg sum rules.

description: The ever increasing volume of data in digital forensic investigation is one of the most discussed challenges in the field. Usually, most of the file artefacts on seized devices are not pertinent to the investigation. Manually retrieving suspicious files relevant to the investigation is akin to finding a needle in a haystack. In this paper, a methodology for the automatic prioritisation of suspicious file artefacts (i.e., file artefacts that are pertinent to the investigation) is proposed to reduce the manual analysis effort required. This methodology is designed to work in a human-in-the-loop fashion. In other words, it predicts/recommends that an artefact is likely to be suspicious rather than giving the final analysis result. A supervised machine learning approach is employed, which leverages the recorded results of previously processed cases. The process of features extraction, dataset generation, training and evaluation are presented in this paper. In addition, a toolkit for data extraction from disk images is outlined, which enables this method to be integrated with the conventional investigation process and work in an automated fashion.

description: In this paper, the user interface of tractor cab real-time information management system was designed. Based on the principle of “user friendly”, it reasonably arranged spatial position of information management system according to spatial distribution of tractor cab. Then, it analyzed operation habits and thinking ways of drivers, and formulated design principle meeting demands of drivers. Besides, it used LabView software to design user interface, including interface layout and interface design. User interface includes basic information interface, job information interface, camera monitoring interface, and fault diagnosis interface. Finally, it made evaluation of the user interface from color, indicator lamp, dial, and pointer. Results indicate that the designed user interface layout conforms to cognition mentality and operation habits and easy to get familiar and grasp; graphical interface is vivid and easy to stimulate pleasure of drivers in operation; interface color matching is coordinated; the layout of controls is hierarchical and logic, and operating mode is consistent with Windows system.
