description: The research is aimed at understanding the factors that impact intentions to adopt blockchain technology in Bahrain’s financial sector. This study used qualitative, open-ended surveys, surveying 12 firm managers from Bahrain’s financial sector. The results show that trust improved operational efficiency, and increased security are technological factors that positively influence firm managers’ intentions to adopt blockchain technology. These include organizational factors such as the scarcity of manpower and centralized practices and environmental factors like overlapping and vague regulations. Additionally, scalability and energy efficiency were identified as technical obstacles preventing further application of blockchain technology. Based on the findings of this research it is recommended to seek regulatory harmony among GCC member countries to reduce compliance risks, expand curriculum and education to alleviate the skill gap, and employ change management strategies to address institutional and sociocultural resistance. Furthermore, adopting blockchain models that emphasize scalability and energy efficiency would support Bahrain’s Vision 2030 sustainability goals. These measures were found to be effective in overcoming significant impediments to blockchain adoption in Bahrain’s financial sector.

description: Hidden magnetic order of Sr$_2$Ir$_{1-x}$Rh$_x$O$_4$, $x = 0.05$ and 0.1, has been studied using muon spin relaxation spectroscopy. In zero applied field and weak longitudinal fields ($μ_0H_L \lesssim 2$~mT), muon spin relaxation data can be well described by exponentially-damped static Lorentzian Kubo-Toyabe functions, indicating that static and dynamic local fields coexist at each muon site. For $μ_0H_L \gtrsim 2$~mT, the static rate is completely decoupled, and the exponential decay is due to dynamic spin fluctuations. In both zero field and $μ_0H_L = 1$--2~mT, the temperature dependencies of the exponential muon spin relaxation rate exhibit maxima at 215~K for $x = 0.05$ and 175~K for $x = 0.1$, suggesting critical slowing down of electronic spin fluctuations. The field dependencies of the dynamic spin fluctuation rates can be well described by the Redfield relation. The correlation time of this electronic spin fluctuation is in the range of~2--5~ns for Sr$_2$Ir$_{0.9}$Rh$_{0.1}$O$_4$, and shorter than 2~ns for Sr$_2$Ir$_{0.95}$Rh$_{0.05}$O$_4$. The rms fluctuating field is on the order of 1 mT, which is consistent with the polarized neutron diffraction cross-section.

Thisstudyestablishedtherelationshipbetweencomputerizedaccountingsystems and performance of selected wholesale companies in Hargeisa, Somalia. The study was based on these three objectives; l) to examine the effectiveness of computerized accounting systems; 2) to assess the performance of selected wholesale companies; and 3) to find out whether there is significant relationship betweencomputerizedaccountingsystemsandperformanceofselectedwholesale companiesinHargeisa,Somalia.Adescriptivecomelationalandcrosssectional survey design involving both qualitative and quantitative approaches was employed.UsingSlovene’sformula,asamplesizeof114wasused tocollectdata from employees of the selected wholesale companies through purposive and systematic random sampling techniques. a researcher made questionnaire was usedtocollectdata,whichwasanalyzedusingfrequenciesandpercentages,mean scores and ranks, Pearson’s Linear correlation coefficient and Llnear regression analysis.Thefindingsrevealedthatcomputerizedaccountingwaseffectiveinthe selectedwholesalecompanies(overcallmean=2.78);performanceoftheSelected wholesale companies was also found to be high (overall mean = 2.71); the relationship between effectiveness of computer ized accounting and performance of the selected wholesale companies in Hargeisa was also positive and significant (at r —.988; R2 = 0.978; and sig. = 0.000). Basing on the individual items tinder- computerized accounting, this study found out that effectiveness in data validation; financial security and financial information and reporting have positive and significant i-elationship with performance of the selected wholesale companies. This finding is demonstrated by the § values of 0.379; 0.217and

0.264atsignificantvaluesof0.003;0.000;and0.009respectivelyatstandardized significant value of 0.05. However, data storage and accuracy did not have any significant relationship with performance of selected wholesale companies as its significant valite computed in 0.121 atid this is greater than the standardized significant value of 0.05, so the null hypothesis was accepted. The i-esearcher concluded that computerized accounting in the selected wholesale companies in Hargeisa is effective; the performance of the selected wholesale companies is high; and that theme is a strong, positive and significant relationship between computerized accounting and the performance of the selected wholesale companies in Hargeisa. The study recommends that the management of the selected companies should work hand in hand with their accountants to ensure improvements are ensured in the areas of data validation financial reporting and information as well as data storage and accuracy such that improvement in performance of the companies can be enhanced.

description: High yielder cows optimal feeding is always a major question in farm management. We attempted to find the optimal yield- and weight group in a Holstein_Freisian herd. Handled more than 2000 milk record samples and concluded that the optimal body weight is about 600-650 kg. Also step up from medium yielder to high yielder is more cost efficient than pushing the milk production over 30 kg milk daily. Our results show that fitness traits and body scores are major factors and every 50 kg of extra weight rises the forage cost in average of 0,11 €cents. The mid-weight cows produce 25 kg of milk daily but the herds are very heterogeneous. The solution should be smaller cows, homogeneous herds and optimized feeding.

description: Several processes in the cell, such as gene regulation, start when key proteins recognise and bind to short DNA sequences. However, as these sequences can be hundreds of million times shorter than the genome, they are hard to find by simple diffusion: diffusion-limited association rates may underestimate $in~vitro$ measurements up to several orders of magnitude. Moreover, the rates increase if the DNA is coiled rather than straight. Here we model how this works $in~vivo$ in mammalian cells. We use chromatin-chromatin contact data from state-of-the-art Hi-C experiments to map the protein target-search onto a network problem. The nodes represent a DNA segment and the weight of the links is proportional to measured contact probabilities. We then put forward a master equation for the density of searching protein that allows us to calculate the association rates across the genome analytically. For segments where the rates are high, we find that they are enriched with active genes and have high RNA expression levels. This paper suggests that the DNA's 3D conformation is important for protein search times $in~vivo$ and offers a method to interpret protein-binding profiles in eukaryotes that cannot be explained by the DNA sequence itself.
Prospecting for spiral structure in the flocculent outer Milky Way Disk with color magnitude star counts from the 2 Micron All Sky Survey

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using star counts in both color and magnitude from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) Second Incremental Release Point Source Catalog we search for evidence of non-uniform extinction and stellar population density changes in the Galactic Plane. Extinction causes the entire main sequence to shift toward redder colors on a color magnitude diagram. A local increase in the stellar density causes an increase in the star counts along a line parallel to the main sequence. We find streaks in star count color magnitude contour plots along the angle of the main sequence which are likely to be caused by distant gas clouds and stellar density variations. The distance of a gas cloud or stellar density change can be estimated from the location of the shift in the star count contours. We identify features in these diagrams which are coherent across at least 10 degrees in Galactic longitude. A series of features is seen at the plausible distance of the expected Perseus spiral arm at a distance of 2 to 4 kpc from the sun. However other features as prominent are found at both at larger and smaller distances. These structures are over 300 pc in size and so likely to be associated with large scale coherent structures in the gas distribution such as weak spiral arms. The presence of multiple and weak spiral arms, and lack of strong ones suggests that the outer Milky Way is flocculent in its morphology.

description: Using data from the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS), we identify a population of infrared carbon (IR C) stars with J-K >= 2 in the Milky Way. These stars are shown to trace the stellar bar previously identified in IR and optical surveys. The properties of C stars strongly suggest that they are of intermediate age. We conclude that the bar is likely to have formed more recently than 3 Gyr ago, and must be younger than 6 Gyr. Implications and further tests of this conclusion are briefly discussed.

description: An investigation is carried out on the Wilson-Bappu effect in the Mg II k line at 2796.34 A. The work is based on a selection of 230 stars observed by both the IUE and HIPPARCOS satellites, covering a wide range of spectral type and absolute visual magnitudes. The Wilson-Bappu relationship here provided is considered to represent an improvement over previous recent results for the considerably larger data sample used as well as for a proper consideration of the measurement errors. No evidence has been found for a possible dependence of the WB effect on stellar metallicity and effective temperature.

description: This study examined the use of various sources of cooking energy among urban households in Zambia, and analyzed urban households’ energy choice and charcoal consumption decisions using econometric models. Overall, charcoal is the most common source of main cooking energy in urban areas, followed by electricity, and lastly the other non-specific sources, such as gas, and kerosene. Of the three main sources considered in this study (i.e., electricity only, charcoal only, and a mix of charcoal and electricity) charcoal accounted for almost half (44%) of urban households, followed by a mix of charcoal and electricity representing 38%, and lastly electricity only accounting for 17% of urban households.

description: The study applies the single-stage modelling stochastic frontier approach to investigate the performance of maize farmers in the Ejura-Sekyedumase District of Ghana. It estimates the level of technical efficiency and its determinants for 306 maize farmers. Findings indicated that land, labour and fertilizer influenced output positively whilst agrochemicals and seeds affected output negatively. A wide variation in output was also found among producers of maize. The study further revealed that age, sex and off-farm work activities were significant determinants of technical inefficiencies in production. Results from the maximum likelihood estimate of the frontier model showed that averagely, farmers were 67% technically efficient, implying that 33% of maize yield was not realized. The return to scale which measures the productivity level of farmers was 1.22, suggesting that the farmers are operating at an increasing returns to scale.

description: In this paper (paper I) we present optical long-slit spectroscopy and imaging of the protoplanetary nebula CRL618. The optical lobes of CRL618 consist of shock-excited gas, which emits many recombination and forbidden lines, and dust, which scatters light from the innermost regions. From the analysis of the scattered Halpha emission, we derive a nebular inclination of i=24+-6 deg. The spectrum of the innermost part of the east lobe (visible as a bright, compact nebulosity close to the star in the Halpha HST image) is remarkably different from that of the shocked lobes but similar to that of the inner HII region, suggesting that this region represents the outermost parts of the latter. We find a non-linear radial variation of the gas velocity along the lobes. The largest projected LSR velocities (~80 km/s) are measured at the tips of the lobes, where the direct images show the presence of compact bow-shaped structures. The velocity of the shocks in CRL618 is in the range ~75-200 km/s, as derived from diagnostic line ratios and line profiles. We report a brightening (weakening) of [OIII]5007AA ([OI]6300AA) over the last ~10 years that may indicate a recent increase in the speed of the exciting shocks. From the analysis of the spatial variation of the nebular extinction, we find a large density contrast between the material inside the lobes and beyond them: the optical lobes seem to be `cavities' excavated in the AGB envelope by interaction with a more tenuous post-AGB wind. The electron density, with a mean value n_e~5E3-1E4 cm-3, shows significant fluctuations but no systematic decrease along the lobes, in agreement with most line emission arising in a thin shell of shocked material (the lobe walls) rather than in the post-AGB wind filling the interior of the lobes.

Mathematical Analysis of Robustness of Two-Level Domain Decomposition Methods with respect to Inexact Coarse Solves
Creators: name: Nataf, Frédéric
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Convergence of domain decomposition methods rely heavily on the efficiency of the coarse space used in the second level. The GenEO coarse space has been shown to lead to a fully robust two-level Schwarz preconditioner which scales well over multiple cores [27, 19] as has been proved rigorously in [27]. The robustness is due to its good approximation properties for problems with highly heterogeneous material parameters. It is available in the finite element packages FreeFem++, Feel++ and recently in Dune and is implemented as a standalone library in HPDDM But the coarse component of the preconditioner can ultimately become a bottleneck if the number of subdomains is very large and exact solves are used. It is therefore interesting to consider the effect of approximate coarse solves. In this paper, robustness of GenEO methods is analyzed with respect to approximate coarse solves. Interestingly, the GenEO-2 method has to be modified in order to be able to prove its robustness in this context.

description: Present study focuses on the national and European popularity of public employment programs within the Active Labour Market Policies (ALMP) between 2009 and 2013, and emphasizes the lack of their transitive effects by two national empirical researches. It is a crucial question at either the governmental level or the local level or even at the level of the people that after the participation whether the supported employees can find a job, whether the programs have transitive effects or the possibility of re-employment is greater. 50% one-time participation defined in the first hypothesis was examined in two empirical studies. In the first case this ratio was verified neither in input sampling (45,6%) nor in output sampling (40,83%). In case of the sampling in 2013 it was successful (78%). In Hajdúböszörmény revealing the situation of the labour market we concluded that practically people after the supported employment have minimal chance to find a job, there are still negative tendencies in the primary market, and local government tries to struggle with the price by utilizing public employment as a single tool. The two empirical sampling drew the attention that the lower the transitive effects of the examined programs are, the stronger the phenomenon of locking-in and rotating is.

description: The study aims at exploring, based on an overview of the professional literature, the economic, social and employment policy situation which characterised the period from the change of regime to 10 years thereafter and concerned people with disabilities and with a reduced work capacity, as well as, the institutions and instruments influencing the related labour market demand and supply. It discusses those initiatives too which aim at increasing the economic activities of the related disadvantaged group. The topicality of the study comes from the fact that in the past few years the government has put a number of stricter legislation into force to strengthen the labour market position of people with disabilities and with a reduced work capacity in Hungary. Notwithstanding, the affected group still has low economic activity. In its background there is partially the economic-social situation and approach which characterised the transition period, as well as, the weak efficiency of the rehabilitation system, which was forming that time.

The problem of thermally agitated magnetization reversal in this case can be reduced to the random magnetization dynamics of the first particle with an effectively larger anisotropy field. The magnetic external field is also altered in a manner that depends on the sign of the coupling and can be either enhanced or suppressed.

description: This study analyses how the level of postharvest technology’s development influences the economic efficiency of apple production with the help of a deterministic simulation model based on primary data gathering in producer undertakings. To accomplish our objectives and to support our hypotheses three processing plant types are included in the model: firstly apple production with no postharvest and prompt sale after the harvest, secondly parallel production and storage combined with an extended selling period and thirdly production and entire postharvest infrastructure (storage, sorting-ranking, packing) with the highest level of goods production and continuous sales. Based on our results it can be stated that the parallel production (plantation) and cold storage, so the second case is proved to be totally inefficient, considering that the establishment of a cold storage carries enormously high costs with resulting a relative low plus profit compared to the first type of processing plant. The reason for this is that this type is selling bulk goods without sorting-grading or packaging; storage itself – as a means of continuously servicing the market – is not covered properly by the consumers. Absolute efficiency ranking cannot be established regarding the other two processing plants: plantation without post-harvest infrastructure resulting lower NPV, but a more favourable IRR, DPP and PI as developing a plantation and a whole post-harvest infrastructure.

alternative to inflation

description: Standard models of cosmology use inflation as a mechanism to resolve the isotropy and homogeneity problem of the universe as well as the flatness problem. However, due to various well known problems with the inflationary paradigm, there has been an ongoing search for alternatives. Perhaps the most famous among these are the cyclic universe scenarios which incorporate bounces. As these scenarios have a contracting phase in the evolution of the universe, anisotropies and inhomogeneities would be expected to blow up on approach to the bounce. Thus, it is reasonable to ask whether the problems of homogeneity and isotropy can still be resolved in these scenarios. In this thesis, I will focus on the problem of the resolution of the isotropy problem. I begin with a brief review of anisotropic, spatially homogeneous geometries of cosmological interest. Next, I review the existing literature on bouncing cosmologies, and discuss the mechanism of bounce studied in previously proposed models, as well as their theoretical and observational advantages and disadvantages. I then discuss the process of isotropisation in the contracting phase of each bounce. In this phase of the evolution, the mechanism of ekpyrosis is used in most cosmological scenarios which incorporate a contracting phase to mitigate the problem of anisotropies blowing up on approaching the bounce. I start by studying anisotropic universes and I then examine the effect of the addition of ultra-stiff anisotropic pressures on the ekpyrotic phase. I then consider evolving such anisotropic universes through several cycles with increasing expansion maxima at each successive bounce. This eventually leads to flatness in the isotropic case. My aim is to see if the resolution of the flatness problem also leads to a simultaneous resolution of the isotropy problem. In the next chapter, I consider the effect of non comoving velocities on the shape of this anisotropic bouncing universe. In the final section of my thesis, I consider anisotropic cosmological models within the context of canonical quantum cosmology and investigate the quantum behaviour of anisotropies.

description: The increase in the significance of logistics can be attributed to two major reasons: the increasing cost sensitivity of companies and the necessity for the higher fulfilment of customer needs. Logistic controlling is a tool of management used to coordinate logistic activities and to reach logistic managerial decisions by providing information through the analysis of the system. The up-to-date and precise information that can be gained from the logistic controlling system helps the management in the preparation of decisions, and the adaptation to environmental conditions. With these activities, logistic controlling makes the enterprises more efficient and successful. Taking the above into consideration, I carried out a survey on why commercial entities decided on the introduction and application of a logistic controlling system, what conditions are necessary for the introduction of a logistic controlling system, and what experiences the users gained by the application. Positive effects of logistic controlling were proved on operations, and the introduction and application of logistic controlling were analysed.

description: We present the mathematical modeling for the problem of choosing rooms and proctoring crews for massive tests, together with its implementation as the open-box system RaPID-Omega. The mathematical model is a binary integer programming problem: a combination of the 0-1 Knapsack problem and the job-assignment problem. The model makes decisions according the following criteria in order of priority: minimization of labor-hours, maximization of equity in the distribution of duties and maximization of the proctoring quality. The software is a digital solution for the aforementioned problem, which is a common need in educational institutions offering large, coordinated, lower-division courses.

description: We have calculated the mass distribution ($dσ/dM_X$) as observed by UA8 Collaboration in the inclusive reaction $p \bar p \to p X \bar p$ at $\sqrt s = 630 GeV$, using the Interacting Gluon Model (IGM) with Double Pomeron Exchange included. The only new parameter is the $IP IP$ cross section, which we can extract from fitting experimental data. We compare our results with the values obtained in the UA8 study. Assuming a constant Pomeron-Pomeron total cross section ($σ_{IP IP} = 1 mb$), we make predictions for $dσ/dM_X$ at Tevatron and LHC energies.

description: The aim of this study was to explore the differences of health interpretation between people with ayurvedic approach and non ayurvedic but health conscious approach. While Ayurveda has a holistic approach to health, the European medicine focuses on its physical aspects (bio-medicinal model). Although theoretically a complex interpretation of health (bio-psycho-social model) is the most accepted in Hungary, we examined whether it prevails on a practical level. We carried out a representative survey (N=1000) to examine the health-related knowledge and behaviour of the Hungarian population. To achieve deeper understanding of the subject, we carried out two focus group discussions. We selected health conscious people in the first group and ayurvedic oriented people in the second group to compare their attitudes towards health. The results showed that the majority of the Hungarian population (83,2%) have recognised that health is more than a bio-medicinal approach, it is built up of physical, psychological, mental and social factors, but in most cases we found huge gaps between recognition and action. During discussions the ayurvedic oriented group construed an interpretation that contained all the five health dimensions of WHO and mentioned spirituality as an additional dimension, while the health conscious group mainly emphasized physical health. We also asked the participants about their own health behaviour and found the same pattern. It can be stated that the Hungarian population theoretically admits an integrative model of health but it does not appear in their health behaviour. It seems that ayurvedic orientation contributes to bringing knowledge to practice. Ayurvedic oriented people have a more complex interpretation of health and are willing to do more for their health, so they are a good target group for prevention campaigns and health care services. It also suggests that the spread of ayurvedic approach could contribute to better health behaviour in Hungary.
Developing drugs to attenuate succinate accumulation and oxidation

ischaemia-reperfusion injury
succinate dehydrogenase

description: Ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is caused by the re-introduction of oxygen to organs, following periods of reduced blood flow (ischaemia). Whilst re-establishing blood flow (reperfusion) to the heart following myocardial infarction is vital for organ survival, this paradoxically leads to tissue damage. Mitochondria are at the heart of IR injury, with succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) a major player in orchestrating the damage. Succinate accumulates during ischaemia and is rapidly oxidised by SDH upon reperfusion, producing reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to cellular death. I have investigated the development of drugs, aimed at targeting succinate metabolism to ameliorate IR injury. I firstly screened a range of compounds for their ability to inhibit SDH, having been chosen for their similar structures to succinate or the classical SDH inhibitor, malonate. Interestingly, only malonate and oxaloacetate showed potent SDH inhibition, thus were selected for further development. Malonate ester prodrugs with different properties were characterised. Hydrolysis rates of the esters differed greatly, with tuned, labile, malonate esters releasing malonate much more rapidly. Malonate esters were taken up into cells and hydrolysed to release malonate to different extents. Additionally, mitochondria-targetedmalonatemono and diesters were developed, each differing in mitochondrial and cellular uptake andmalonate release. Targeted and nontargeted malonate esters distributed into tissues in vivo, with preliminary in vivo work carried out on IR injury models, to assess for protective effects of the compounds. In addition, the physiological role of the tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolite, itaconate, was investigated. In lipopolysaccharide stimulated macrophages, itaconate has been reported to exert its effects by inhibition of SDH however, I found itaconate was a relatively poor SDH inhibitor, indicating other mechanisms of action. Current prodrugs of itaconate have many non-specific effects, not attributable to itaconate. I therefore characterised a novel itaconate prodrug and found it to be a much better surrogate, which could be subsequently used to elucidate roles for itaconate. Overall, I have shown the importance of ester selection for the prodrug delivery of dicarboxylate molecules and developed methods to improve their biological delivery.
General Relativistic Effects on Magnetar Models of AXPs

description: General relativistic bending of light dramatically alters the variability of X-ray emission originating from the surfaces of ultramagnetic neutron stars. We construct radiative equilibrium models of such strongly magnetic cooling neutron stars with light-element atmospheres to compute the angle- and energy-dependent intensity emerging from their surfaces and find that the beaming of surface emission is predominantly non-radial. The combination of this radiation pattern with the calculations of light bending yields pulse amplitudes that vary non-monotonically with the neutron star compactness and the size of the emitting region. The significant suppression of the pulse amplitude for large emitting areas provides very strong constraints on the mechanisms that can simultaneously produce high periodic variability and X-ray luminosity. We apply these results to the thermally-emitting magnetar models of anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs), which are bright slowly-rotating X-ray sources with large pulse amplitudes. We use the observed fluxes and pulse amplitudes for all known AXPs and show that thermal emission from two antipodal regions on their surfaces, as predicted by some magnetar models, is inconsistent with these observed properties.

description: Since the present $ω$ meson family has not been established, in this work, we carry out an investigation of the mass spectrum and Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka a allowed two-body strong decay of the $S$-wave and the $D$-wave $ω$ mesons, and make the comparison with the experimental data of these reported $ω$ states and the $ω$-like $X(2240)$ state observed by BESIII. By this study, we not only suggest the possible assignments to these observed $ω$ states under the framework of the $ω$ meson family, but also predict three $ω$ mesons ($ω(5S)$, $ω(2D)$ , and $ω(4D)$) which are still missing in experiment. The present study may provide valuable information to further construct the $ω$ meson family. Considering the present running status of BESIII, we also suggest that BESIII should pay more attention to the issue of $ω$ meson with accumulating more data.
