Subjects: SECS-P/08 Economia e gestione delle imprese

description: Management and organization literature has extensively noticed the crucial role that improvisation assumes in organizations, both as a learning process (Miner, Bassoff & Moorman, 2001), a creative process (Fisher & Amabile, 2008), a capability (Vera & Crossan, 2005), and a personal disposition (Hmielesky & Corbett, 2006; 2008). My dissertation aims to contribute to the existing literature on improvisation, addressing two general research questions: 1) How does improvisation unfold at an individual level? 2) What are the potential antecedents and consequences of individual proclivity to improvise? This dissertation is based on a mixed methodology that allowed me to deal with these two general research questions and enabled a constant interaction between the theoretical framework and the empirical results. The selected empirical field is haute cuisine and the respondents are the executive chefs of the restaurants awarded by Michelin Guide in 2010 in Italy.
The qualitative section of the dissertation is based on the analysis of 26 inductive case studies and offers a multifaceted contribution. First, I describe how improvisation works both as a learning and creative process. Second, I introduce a new categorization of individual improvisational scenarios (demanded creative improvisation, problem solving improvisation, and pure creative improvisation). Third, I describe the differences between improvisation and other creative processes detected in the field (experimentation, brainstorming, trial and error through analytical procedure, trial and error, and imagination).
The quantitative inquiry is founded on a Structural Equation Model, which allowed me to test simultaneously the relationships between proclivity to improvise and its antecedents and consequences. In particular, using a newly developed scale to measure individual proclivity to improvise, I test the positive influence of industry experience, self-efficacy, and age on proclivity to improvise and the negative impact of proclivity to improvise on outcome deviation. Theoretical contributions and practical implications of the results are discussed.
title: Statistical Characterization of Fluvial-Deltaic Reservoirs with Archetypes
Creators: name: Watkins, Laura L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1998

description: Optimizing the extraction of oil and other hydrocarbon products from existing sites is important. One source of hydrocarbon products is reservoirs found within sedimentary rock formations. Understanding fluid behavior within such formations can be quite useful in optimizing oil production. Fluid behavior within sedimentary formations is influenced by the bedform structure and permeabilities within the formation. Thus, we are concerned with developing a physically and statistically valid method of characterizing sedimentary rock formations. The use of archetypal analysis to generate synthetic bedforms, as well as the use of Kriging to assign permeabilities within a bedform, was explored. With these tools, a characterization of a sedimentary rock formation can be created and fluid flow through the charactrerization examined. It appears that the bedform structure within a realization has a greater influence on fluid flow than any permeability structure created by utilizing Kriging.

description: In this paper we explore a solenoid configuration involving a magnetic universe solution embedded in an empty Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. This requires a non-trivial surface current at the interface between the two spacetimes which can be provided by a charged scalar field. When the interface is taken to the AdS boundary, we recover the full AdS--Melvin spacetime. The stability of the AdS--Melvin solution is also studied by computing the gravitational free energy from the Euclidean action.

A novel map-matching procedure for low-sampling GPS data with applications to traffic flow analysis

Subjects: FIS/07 Fisica applicata (a beni culturali, ambientali, biologia e medicina)

description: An extensive sample (2%) of private vehicles in Italy are equipped with a GPS device that periodically measures their position and dynamical state for insurance purposes. Having access to this type of data allows to develop theoretical and practical applications of great interest: the real-time reconstruction of traffic state in a certain region, the development of accurate models of vehicle dynamics, the study of the cognitive dynamics of drivers.
In order for these applications to be possible, we first need to develop the ability to reconstruct the paths taken by vehicles on the road network from the raw GPS data. In fact, these data are affected by positioning errors and they are often very distanced from each other (~2 Km). For these reasons, the task of path identification is not straightforward.
This thesis describes the approach we followed to reliably identify vehicle paths from this kind of low-sampling data.
The problem of matching data with roads is solved with a bayesian approach of maximum likelihood. While the identification of the path taken between two consecutive GPS measures is performed with a specifically developed optimal routing algorithm, based on A* algorithm. The procedure was applied on an off-line urban data sample and proved to be robust and accurate. Future developments will extend the procedure to real-time execution and nation-wide coverage.

title: A New Perspective on Classification
Creators: name: Zhao, Guohua
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2000

description: The idea of voting multiple decision rules was introduced in to statistics by Breiman. He used bootstrap samples to build different decision rules, and then aggregated them by majority voting (bagging). In regression, bagging gives improved predictors by reducing the variance (random variation), while keeping the bias (systematic error) the same. Breiman introduced the idea of bias and variance for classification to explain how bagging works. However, Friedman showed that for the two-class situation, bias and variance influence the classification error in a very different way than they do in the regression case.
In the first part of the dissertation, we build a theoretical framework for ensemble classifiers. Ensemble classifiers are currently the best off-the-shelf classifiers available, and they are the subject of much current research in classification. Our main theoretical results arc two theorems about voting iid (independently identically distributed) decision rules. The bias consistency theorem guarantees that voting will not change the Bias set, and the convergence theorem gives an explicit rate of convergence. The two theorems explain exactly how ensemble classifiers work. We also introduce the concept of weak consistency as opposed to the usual strong consistency. A boosting theorem is derived for a distribution-specific situation with iid voting.
In the second part of this dissertation, we discuss a special ensemble classifier called PERT. PERT is a voted random tree classifier for which each random tree classifies every training example correctly. PERT is shown to work surprisingly well. We discuss its consistency properties. We then compare its behavior to the NN (nearest neighbor) method and boosted c4.5. Both of the latter methods also classify every training example correctly. We call these types of classifiers “oversensitive” methods. We show that one reason PERT works is because of its “squeezing effect.”
In the third part of this dissertation, we design simulation studies to investigate why boosting methods work. The outlier effect of PERT is discussed and compared to boosted and bagged tree methods. We obtain a new criterion (Bayes deviance) that measures the efficiency of a classification method. We design simulation studies to compare the efficiency of several common classification methods, including NN, PERT, and boosted tree method.
title: Production and Intake Responses of Dairy Cows Fed Four Levels of Malic Acid
Creators: name: Martinez Alferez, Juan Carlos
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: Thirty-two lactating cows were assigned at random to four treatments of malic acid to determine if these levels had an effect on milk production, milk composition, feed intake, and efficiency of feed utilization. Malic acid allotment for each treatment consisted of 1) 15.4, 2) 11.6, 3) 7.7, and 4) 0 grams of malic acid fed per kilogram of concentrate. Concentrate was fed according to production at a rate of one kilogram per two kilograms of milk in excess of 9.1 kilograms of milk per cow daily. Alfalfa hay was fed free choice and corn silage at a rate of 11.4 kilograms daily. The cows were on the trial for 8 weeks. Intake of concentrates, silage, dry matter, and digestible energy was highest for cows receiving the 11.6 g level of malic acid. These intakes were significantly higher than for the 7.7 g level but not for the other treatments. However, cows on the 7.7 g level consumed only slightly less feed than control cows. There was no significant effect on hay or crude protein intake. Production of total milk, fat corrected milk, and milk fat was significantly higher for cows receiving the 11.6 g level of malic acid than from the 7.7 g level or control cows. Production of protein solids-not-fat was significantly higher for the 11.6 g level than from the 7.7 g level and approached this level of significance when the 11.6 g level was compared to the controls. Cows receiving the 11.6 g level of malic acid were significantly more efficient in converting dry matter or digestible energy from feed into milk than were the controls. Intakes and production of cows on the 15.4 g level was slightly less than for the 11.6 g level.
Advanced SPM studies on the growth of ultrathin films of organic semiconductors at metal and dielectric interfaces

Subjects: FIS/03 Fisica della materia

description: Many studies on the morphology, molecular orientation, device performance, substrate nature and growth parameter dependence have been carried out since the proposal of Sexithiophene (6T) for organic electronics  [ ]
However, these studies were mostly performed on films thicker than 20nm and without specifically addressing the relationship between morphology and molecular orientation within the nano and micro structures of ultrathin films of 0-3 monolayers.
In 2004, the observation that in OFETs only the first few monolayers at the interface in contact with the gate insulator contribute to the charge transport [ ], underlined the importance to study submonolayer films and their evolution up to a few monolayers of thickness with appropriate experimental techniques.
We present here a detailed Non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy study on various substrates aiming at the investigation of growth mechanisms. Most reported similar studies are performed on ideal metals in UHV. However it is important to investigate the details of organic film growth on less ideal and even technological surfaces and device testpatterns. The present work addresses the growth of ultra thin organic films in-situ and quasi real-time by NC-AFM. An organic effusion cell is installed to evaporate the organic material directly onto the SPM sample scanning stage.
title: Reproductive Behavioral and Physiological Traits in Domestic, Wild, and Hybrid Ovis
Creators: name: Crocker-Bedford, Kara-Lynn
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: This study was part of a program to develop new genotypes of sheep (Ovis spp.) and goats (Capra spp.) which are more useful for food and fiber production. The study examined the influence of domestication on behavioral and physiological traits of ewes and lambs, the influence of a single or twin offspring on ewe and lamb behaviors, and general relationships between ewes and lambs during the lambs' first month of life.
Domestication has caused the intensities of observed traits to diverge greatly from the tendencies shown by wild populations. Domestication has produced increases in measurements associated with maternal care, discovery learning, tolerance or inclination for closeness with conspecifics, length of the breeding season, fertility, birth weight, and growth rate. Behaviors associated with imitative learning have decreased with domestication. Domestication has not altered the length of estrous cycle nor length of gestation. The partly domestic groups were intermediate to the most domestic and wild groups for three traits: maternal care, birth weight, and growth rate. However, other hybridization factors apparently altered the intermediate position of the partly domestic groups for the remaining traits: learning in the young, proximity of conspecifics, and fertility. The study's findings indicated that the development of new crossbreeds is an advantageous method of improving sheep and goat productivity.
Some behavioral differences between ewes and their single lambs and ewes and their twin lambs resulted from the earlier physical development of singles as compared to twins: Singles played more and spent less time close to their mothers. Mothering capacities, sibling competition, and a sibling bond caused behavioral differences between ewes and their twin young and ewes and their single young: Twins suckled more, gained less weight, spent more time close to their mothers, stood more, received less sniffing from their mothers than did singles. The ewe-lamb bond did not vary between ewes and their single lambs and ewes and their twin lambs.
The high occurrence of simultaneous behaviors and the maintenance of close contact between ewes and their offspring and between twins contributed to the cohesion and organization of the flock.

description: Weil algebra morphism induce natural transformations between Weil bundles. In some well known cases, a natural transformation is endowed with a canonical structure of affine bundle. We show that this structure arises only when the Weil algebra morphism is surjective and its kernel has null square. Moreover, in some cases, this structure of affine bundle is passed down to Jet spaces. We give a characterization of this fact in algebraic terms. This algebraic condition also determines an affine structure between the groups of automorphisms of related Weil algebras

description: Abstract 

Gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) in pediatric patients can arise from a variety of underlying conditions. Current estimates indicate that the prevalence of GIB in children is approximately 6.4%, with about 80% of cases resolving spontaneously. However, the initial assessment and management are critical in influencing the overall prognosis. The primary focus should be on stabilizing the patient's hemodynamic status, followed by a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. GIB may originate from either the upper or lower gastrointestinal tract, resulting in a wide differential diagnosis in infants and children. This differential includes both benign, self-limiting conditions and more serious disorders that require urgent intervention. Endometriosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of hematemesis. Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma located outside the uterine endometrium. This condition affects approximately 10 to 15% of women of reproductive age, with the ovaries being the most common site of involvement. At the extra pelvic level, the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts are the most frequently affected areas; however, endometriosis can develop in a variety of locations throughout the body. An 11-year-old female patient presented with hematemesis lasting four days, which coincided with the onset of her menstrual cycle and subsequently ceased. A diagnosis of endometriosis was established. Extra-pelvic endometriosis is rare, and accurate diagnosis necessitates both experience and specialized training in recognizing normal endometrial tissue. This case is significant as it represents the first reported instance of endometriosis located at the base of the tongue.

description: The aim of the present study is to address contemporary drama translation by comparing two different scenarios, namely France and Italy. For each country, the following areas are described: publications of translated drama texts, their promotion and dissemination, the legal framework concerning copyright in publication and performance contracts.
Moreover, the analysis highlights that the translation process of drama texts is part of a working cycle networking different professional figures, such as dramatic authors, directors, actors and publishers. Within this cycle, the translator is in a middle and central position at the same time, a sort of border zone between different contexts, i.e. the source language and culture and the target language and culture. As regards translation-related issues, on the basis of theoretical approaches that can be applied to drama translation, a number of translators’ opinions, statements, positions and practices are compared, thus highlighting an idea of drama translation wavering between translation and adaptation. Drama translators seem to follow these two orientations simultaneously, in compliance with translation ethics and the functional needs of target texts. Such ambivalence is due to the desire and difficulty of translating the specific nature of drama texts, i.e. translating textual elements that are linked, eventually, to stage performance. Indeed, the notion of text or form fidelity is replaced by the notion of fidelity to the theatrical value of a text, in terms of fidelity to its theatrical nature and rhythmical tension. The analysis reveals that drama translators work together with theatre operators, and that in many cases translators are authors, directors or actors themselves. These drama skills enable translators to apply relevant strategies when translating elements that generate rhythm, thus choosing from deleting, reproducing or recreating.

In that paper, it was shown that the heat kernel obeyed certain properties, one of which was a relationship between the derivative of heat kernel of different degrees. We will give a proof of this condition for complete manifolds with Ricci curvature bounded below, and then use it to give an integral representation of the heat kernel of degree $k$.

description: Abstract

One of the major variables that can influence a person's elevated blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is stress. As a result, stress management requires work for those with T2DM. This study looked at how blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes in the Pancur Batu Subdistrict was affected by stress management activities. The study used a pretest-posttest design for one group, making it quasi-experimental in character. The purposive sampling approach was utilized to acquire 30 samples from people with type 2 diabetes. The data were analyzed with a paired t-test.  The findings revealed that there was a difference in the average blood glucose levels of patients with T2DM before and after stress management exercise (p = 0,001).  Finally, stress management has an impact on blood glucose control in persons with type 2 diabetes.

description: Background: Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection may lead to cerebral injury and neurodevelopmental delay. Cranial computed tomography (CT) is currently the standard imaging technique for predicting the outcome of CMV infected patients. Ultrasound (US) is a safe means to assess the extent of cerebral injury due to CMV infection in neonates, and unlike CT, is readily available at the bedside.
Aim: To report the accuracy of US in predicting neurodevelopmental and sensorineural outcome in patients with congenital CMV infection.
Study design: 57 newborns with congenital CMV infection underwent brain US and were followed prospectively for motor skills, developmental quotient and hearing function.
Results: An abnormal US was found in 12/57 newborns. At least one sequela (Developmental Quotient < 85, motor delay, sensorineural hearing loss) was present in 10/11 surviving children with abnormal US (1 patient died in the neonatal period) vs 3/45 newborns with normal US (OR for death or poor outcome: 154, CI 17.3-1219.6, p<0.001, positive predictive value 91.7%, negative predictive value 93.3%).
Conclusion: A good correlation is shown between ultrasound abnormalities and the prediction of outcome, suggesting that US may be used to study and follow CMV infected neonates. Our findings await confirmation in a larger population.

description: We study the ground-state properties and quantum dynamics of few-boson mixtures with strong inter-species repulsion in one-dimensional traps. If one species localizes at the center, e.g., due to a very large mass compared to the other component, it represents an effective barrier for the latter and the system can be mapped onto identical bosons in a double well. For weaker localization, the barrier atoms begin to respond to the light component, leading to an induced attraction between the mobile atoms that may even outweigh their bare intra-species repulsion. To explain the resulting effects, we derive an effective Hubbard model for the lighter species accounting for the backaction of the barrier in correction terms to the lattice parameters. Also the tunneling is drastically affected: Varying the degree of localization of the "barrier" atoms, the dynamics of intrinsically noninteracting bosons can change from Rabi oscillations to effective pair tunneling. For identical fermions (or fermionized bosons) this leads to the tunneling of attractively bound pairs.

description: One way the AGN are expected to influence the evolution of their host galaxies is by removing metal content via outflows. In this article we present results that show that AGN can have an effect on the chemical enrichment of their host galaxies using the fossil record technique on CALIFA galaxies. We classified the chemical enrichment histories of all galaxies in our sample regarding whether they show a drop in the value of their metallicity. We find that galaxies currently hosting an AGN are more likely to show this drop in their metal content compared to the quiescent sample. Once we separate the sample by their star-forming status we find that star-forming galaxies are less likely to have a drop in metallicity but have deeper decreases when these appear. This behavior could be evidence for the influence of either pristine gas inflows or galactic outflows triggered by starbursts, both of which can produce a drop in metallicity.

description: Abstract

Cases of premarital teenage pregnancy are increasing both in the world and Indonesia. The determinants of premarital teenage pregnancy are due to increased risk of sexual behaviour, high teenage curiosity, low understanding of premarital teenage pregnancy, and adolescent permissive attitudes towards sexuality. This study uses a qualitative design. The selection of research subjects is carried out by purposive sampling. The results of the study were that category I and II informants already had enough knowledge about the process of pregnancy, the impact of premarital teenage pregnancy, the causes of teenage pregnancy, the form of risk sexual behavior and the form of prevention of teenage pregnancy. Meanwhile, category III informants lack understanding related to the process of pregnancy and forms of risky sexual behaviour. Category I and II informants consider that premarital teenage pregnancy cases are significant to get immediate follow-up from schools and parents because it can damage the good name of the family and the future. Meanwhile, category III informants consider that the case of premarital teenage pregnancy is not a serious problem as long as both parties feel together.

description: In un periodo di tre anni è stato svolto un lavoro mirato alla valutazione delle
complicanze correlate all’utilizzo dello stenting carotideo.
Dopo la preparazione di un protocollo con definizione di tutti i fattori di rischio sono
stati individuati i criteri di inclusione ed esclusione attraverso i quali arruolare i
pazienti.
Da Luglio 2004 a Marzo 2007 sono stati inclusi 298 pazienti e sono state valutate le
caratteristiche della placca carotidea, con particolare riferimento alla presenza di
ulcerazione e/o di stenosi serrata, la tortuosità dei vasi e il tipo di arco aortico oltre a
tutti i fattori di rischio demografici e metabolici.
E’ stato valutato quanto e se questi fattori di rischio incrementino la percentuale di
complicanze della procedura di stenting carotideo.
I pazienti arruolati sono stati suddivisi in due gruppi a seconda della morfologia della
placca: placca complicata (placca con ulcera del diametro > di 2 mm e placca con
stenosi sub occlusiva 99%) e placca non complicata.
I due gruppi sono stati comparati in termini di epidemiologia, sintomatologia
neurologica preoperatoria, tipo di arco, presenza di stenosi o ostruzione della carotide
controlaterale, tipo di stent e di protezione cerebrale utilizzati, evoluzione clinica e
risultati tecnici.
I dati sono stati valutati mediante analisi statistica di regressione logistica multipla
per evidenziare le variabili correlate con l’insuccesso.
Dei 298 pazienti consecutivi sottoposti a stenting, 77 hanno mostrato una placca
complicata (25,8%) e 221 una placca non complicata (74,2%). I due gruppi non
hanno avuto sostanziali differenze epidemiologiche o di sintomatologia preoperatoria.
Il successo tecnico si è avuto in 272 casi (91,2%) e sintomi neurologici post-operatosi
si sono verificati in 23 casi (23.3%). Tutti i sintomi sono stati temporanei.
Non si sono avute differenze statisticamente significative tra i due gruppi in relazione
alle complicanze neurologiche e ai fallimenti tecnici.
L’età avanzata è correlata ad un incremento dei fallimenti tecnici.
I risultati dello studio portano alla conclusione che la morfologia della placca non
porta ad un incremento significativo dei rischi correlati alla procedura di stenting
carotideo e che l’indicazione alla CAS può essere posta indipendentemente dalla
caratteristica della placca.

description: As Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) públicas são órgãos pertencentes ao Estado brasileiro que apresentam o ensino, a pesquisa e a extensão como o foco principal de suas atividades. A partir da Constituição brasileira de 1988, as Universidades Federais passaram a gozar de autonomia didático-científica, administrativa, de gestão financeira e patrimonial, sendo a gestão administrativa, financeira e patrimonial as atividades que dão suporte para que as atividades de ensino, pesquisa e extensão sejam concretizadas. A gestão administrativa pública do Estado brasileiro apresentou mudanças ao longo dos anos, o que afetou seus órgãos e, consequentemente, as IES públicas. Como forma de melhorar a concretização dos resultados e trazer efetividade para a execução dos seus serviços, os órgãos da administração pública brasileira têm utilizado estratégias administrativas que cortem custos, aumentem a eficácia, eficiência e efetividade organizacional. Dentre essas estratégias, apresenta-se a gestão de projetos (GP) e a implantação de Escritórios de Gestão de Projetos (EGP). Tendo este fato em consideração, esta dissertação objetivou a sistematização, sobe forma de um escopo de projeto, de um EGP a ser aplicado na Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB). Para a concretização deste objetivo foi realizada uma pesquisa sistemática utilizando o método PRISMA como forma de analisar as produções teóricas sobre a gestão de projetos e escritórios de gestão, no âmbito da administração das universidades públicas globalmente. Em seguida, analisou-se como a GP ou o EGP poderiam ter se situado na UFPB. Isto foi realizado através de uma análise documental dos objetivos estratégicos da gestão administrativa presentes no Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional (PDI) da organização para os anos de 2014 a 2018 bem como dos Relatórios de Gestão anuais e do Relatório de Avaliação. Nesta análise foi identificado um objetivo que apresentou características de um projeto. Em seguida foi conduzida a mesma análise documental tendo como base o PDI 2019-2023 da instituição para a compreensão dos objetivos da gestão estratégia da instituição que poderão embasar a implantação de um EGP. Foram identificados três objetivos como possíveis projetos da instituição. Com base na literatura foi definido o escopo de um projeto de implantação de um EGP que poderia englobar os três objetivos estratégicos.

description: Abstract

Background, The implementation of electronic medical records is used as a strategy to improve the quality of current health services. Based on several studies, RME knowledge and ICT literacy are factors that affect the readiness of RME adoption. The readiness of health service providers is a determining factor in the success of Electronic Medical Records (RME). Objective, This study aims to assess ICT literacy, knowledge, and readiness for RME adoption. Methods, This study is a quantitative study using a cross sectional study conducted on 164 health workers working at Sayang Rakyat Hospital, South Sulawesi province, Indonesia using Stratified Random Sampling.Data was collected using a questionnaire, analyzed using SPSS version 22 and a chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were carried out to assess the influence of ICT literacy and knowledge on the readiness of health workers to adopt RME. The results showed that the level of readiness in this study was 59.8%, the ICT literacy level was 50.6%, and the RME knowledge level was 50.6%. Based on the results of the analysis of the influence of ICT literacy and RME knowledge with the readiness to adopt RME, the results of knowledge about RME (P=0.000), ICT literacy (P=0.000) were obtained. The results of the multivariate analysis showed that knowledge significantly affected readiness. An OR value of 9,415 with a 95%CI of 14,539 to 19,533 was obtained, indicating that individuals with low knowledge were 9 times more likely to be unprepared than individuals with high knowledge. In conclusion, high ICT knowledge and literacy have a positive effect on the readiness of health workers in the adoption of RME. The most dominant factor affecting readiness is RME knowledge. More than half of healthcare workers have a good level of readiness to implement RME.

title: “[Taking] Responsibility for the Community”: Women Claiming Power and Legitimacy in Technical and Professional Communication in India, 1999-2016
Creators: name: Matheson, Breeanne
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2018

description: Though the field of technical and professional communication has long been saturated with the narratives of Euro-Western males, technical and professional communication as a field has a responsibility to expand the lens of study to include the experiences of global and nontraditional practitioners. This study examines the experiences of Indian women working as practitioners, building power and legitimacy in a globalized economy. Drawing from interviews with 49 practitioners as well as an analysis of historical documents, this study examines the methods that Indian practitioners have used to build power and legitimacy by founding professional organizations, leveraging their educational opportunities, and using tactical strategies in their workplaces. The data suggests that Indian women have done strong, innovative work in building their own legitimacy in the field. However, work remains to remove barriers that disproportionately bar women from access to professionalizing structures.
INVESTIGATION OF PHENOL, FLAVONOID AND ANTIOXIDANT COMPOUND LEVELS (IC50) OF DRIED AND FRESH MANGROVE (RHIZOPORA RACEMOSA) LEAVES EXTRACED THROUGH INFUSING TECHNIQUE AS HERBAL DRINK BASE

description: Abstract

Mangrove plants (Rhizopora racemosa) are one type of plant that has the potential for health, such as to overcome diarrhea, nausea, and skin diseases, and can even be used as antimicrobials and antioxidants. The use of mangrove leaves as a functional ingredient can be associated with various secondary metabolites such as steroids, saponins, tannins, phenols, flavonoids, and antioxidants; besides that, there are also magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium, and so on.  This study focused on determining the total phenol content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), and antioxidants (IC50) in the infusion extract of dry and fresh mangrove leaves. The method used in this research is infused extraction (steeping). The materials used are fresh mangrove leaves and dry leaves after drying in an oven. The data obtained is then discussed descriptively based on the average obtained in the calculation. The results showed that the type or condition of the leaves used influenced the TPC, TFC, and antioxidants as a form of secondary metabolite compounds. Oven drying can produce higher levels of secondary metabolites than fresh leaf infusions (TPC, 36 mg GAE/g; TFC 4.12 mg QE/g; IC50 225.706 ppm). Dry leaf extraction has better potential to produce secondary metabolic compounds and antioxidants. Secondary metabolite compounds can play a role in human health, such as being used in the development of simplisa (tea) beverage products with various formulations. The choice of extraction method and type of solvent is highly recommended for the purpose of further research because it adjusts to the interests of the research. It is recommended in the manufacture of functional beverages (tea) from mangrove leaves to add other sources of ingredients such as dried lemon or mint leaves, so that the resulting flavor is fresher and provides a better liking assessment.
Active Galactic Nuclei Abundance in Cosmic Voids

description: The abundance of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in cosmic voids is relatively unexplored in the literature, but can potentially provide new constraints on the environmental dependence of AGN activity and the AGN-host co-evolution. We investigated AGN fraction in one of the largest samples of optically selected cosmic voids from SDSS Data Release 12 for redshift range 0.2-0.7 for moderately bright and bright AGN. We separated inner and outer void regions based on the void size, given by its effective void radius. We classified galaxies at a distance < 0.6Reff as inner void members and galaxies in the interval 0.6 < R/Reff < 1.3 as outer void galaxies. We found higher average fractions in the inner voids (4.9+-0.7)% than for their outer counterparts (3.1+-0.1)% at z>0.42, which clearly indicates an environmental dependence. This conclusion was confirmed upon further separating the data in narrower void-centric distance bins and measured a significant decrease in AGN activity from inner to outer voids for z>0.42. At low redshifts (z<0.42), we find very weak dependence on the environment for the inner and outer regions for two out of three bins. We argue that the higher fraction in low-density regions close to void centers relative to their outer counterparts observed in the two higher redshift bins suggests that there may occur more efficient galaxy interactions at one-to-one level in voids which may be suppressed in denser environments due to higher velocity dispersions. It could also indicate less prominent ram pressure stripping in voids or some intrinsic host or void environment properties.

description: We study the dynamics of neutrally buoyant particles with diameters varying in the range [1, 45] in Kolmogorov scale units (eta) and Reynolds numbers based on Taylor scale between 580 and 1050. One component of the particles' velocity is measured using extended Laser Doppler Velocimetry at the center of a Von-Karman (VK) flow, acceleration is derived by differentiation. We find that although the particle acceleration variance decreases with increasing their diameter with scaling close to (D/eta)^-2/3, in agreement with previous observations, the characteristic time of acceleration autocorrelation increases much strongly than previously reported, and linearly with D/eta. A new analysis of the probability density functions of the acceleration shows smaller wings for larger particles; the flatness indeed decreases as also expected from the behavior of Eulerian pressure increments in the VK flow. We contrast our measurements with former observations in wind-tunnel turbulent flows and numerical simulations, and discuss if the observed differences arise from inherent properties of the VK flow.
