description: Abstract

Correlation is the statistical association between two random variables or bivariate data, while, heritability is a measure of the relative contribution of genes to the phenotypic value of a trait. The objective of this study was to investigate the genetic, phenotypic and environmental correlations and heritability estimates of the reproductive traits of the Nigerian heavy local chicken ecotype hens. A total of 145 and 150 point of lay pullets of the Nigerian heavy local chicken ecotype (NHLCE) from generation (G) 7 and G8 populations, respectively, were used for the study. The term generation G7 and G8 was used to describe birds that have been subjected to continuous selection by index for up to seventh and eighth generations. At 16th week of age, the point of lay hens were selected and placed in the battery cages to be monitored for short term egg production. The short term egg production lasted for 16 weeks (112 days). During these period of egg production, the hens were fed with formulated breeder’s diet (layers mash) and clean drinking water served ad libitum. Routine management practices and medication were provided as at when due. Data on the following reproductive traits were collected. Such traits included Age at first egg (AGEFE), First egg weight (FEGGWT), Egg weight at 112 days egg production (EGGWT@112DEP), Body weight at first (BWFE), Average egg weight (AEW), Total egg number (TEN) and Body weight at 112 days egg production (BWT@112DEP). Data collected were subjected to genetic, phenotypic and environmental correlation analysis and heritability estimation. The results indicated that genetic correlations analysis between pairs of some selected reproductive traits were positive across generations G7 and G8. In generation G7, genetic correlation between BWFE and AEW recorded high coefficient of 0.694, while, generation G8 recorded moderate coefficient of 0.398. The heritability estimates ranged from low 0.12 on FEGGWT to high 0.40 on AGEFE in generation G7, whereas, in G8, it ranged from low 0.10 on TEN to moderate 0.39 on AEW. Heritability estimates across populations indicated that whole population recorded higher heritability estimate compared to selected population and control population. It was therefore, concluded that body weight at first egg is positively correlated to average egg weight. Age at first egg has moderate to high heritability estimate 0.37 to 0.45 across generations G7 and G8. Also, the whole population recorded moderate to high heritability estimate 0.21 to 0.53, whereas, the selected and control populations recorded low to moderate heritability estimates (0.15 to 0.33)  across the reproductive traits of the Nigerian heavy local chicken ecotype.

description: The purpose of this study was describing who are the volunteers involved in the Pro Loco association; analysing how the sense of identification is strong in the participants; identifying the functions of motivations and the sense of self-efficacy and collective efficacy in the participants. Participants were 222 Italian volunteers. The 49% of them were members of the Pro Loco for more than 6 years. They show a strong identification with the group. The main reasons for their involvement and commitment in Pro Loco are community function and understanding function; on the other hand the career function is not a linked motivation. Volunteers show good levels of self-efficacy and collective efficacy and a positive association between function, identification and sense of selfefficacy and collective efficacy. Regressions show that the motivation to community function and understanding function are predictors of identification and sense of self-efficacy and collective efficacy.

description: The Ginzburg - Landau theory is used for the superconducting structures free energy fluctuations study. On its basis, we have defined the value of the heat capacity jump in the macroscopic zero-dimensional sample and in the zero-dimensional microstructures ensemble of the total volume equal to the macroscopic sample volume. The inference is made that in the Ginzburg - Landau methodology frameworks, it is essential to take into account the superconducting clean sample effective dimensionality only on the last stage of its thermodynamical characteristics calculation.

IMPACT OF GREEN MARKETING ON PERCEIVED IMAGE AND BEHAVIOURAL INTENTIONS OF CONSUMERS: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM RESTAURANT PRACTICES
Creators: name: Baksi, Arup Kumar

Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2013

description: The detrimental effects of global environmental turbulence have influenced consumers’ preferences towards consuming eco-safe products/services, more popularly nomenclated as ‘green products/services’. Industries have also identified this shift and are not only redesigning their products/offers but also projecting themselves as ‘green firms’. This study empirically attempts to investigate the possible causal impact of green marketing initiatives on the perceived image of restaurants and its subsequent influence on the behavioural intentions of the consumers. Four tourist destinations in West Bengal, India, were identified for the study and eight restaurants were surveyed. Appropriate statistical procedures and structural equation modeling were applied. The results revealed a significant correlation between the variables under study with perceived consumer effectiveness playing a critical role in segmenting consumers on the basis of their affinity to greenness as an element to perceive restaurant image. The study has future scopes where demographical effects and pricesensitivity may be tested.

description: The empirical work reported here was aimed at investigating Crete’s fundamental attraction elements; six factors related to Crete’s image were identified and examined in terms of their significance in predicting and explaining its overall image. While analysing the factors, ‘seaside activities’ was determined to be the most significant factor in identifying Crete’s overall destination image. Through relevant factor analysis and subsequent multiple regression analysis, it was established that highly rated destination image dimensions may be among the most important ones influencing the destination’s overall tourism image. Management implications are discussed and recommended.

description: Greek museums, in the new era of economic recession, face the agony of surviving and at the same time chase the challenges for sustainable development. The scope of this survey is to define the groups of tourists who visited Greek public museums and their evaluations of the museums’ services. The cluster analysis, forms different groups of tourists, and the principal component analysis reveals the factors that represent museum’s quality characteristics. The analysis of variance follows, to correlate the already defined clusters per factors and to answer the research questions. The quantitative research reveals that, there are three different groups of tourists, and confirms that visitors behave according to the group they belong. Therefore, in formulating a strategy to attract and satisfy the cultural tourists, the improvement in the provision of educational services and the better training of the personnel are needed, since most problems are noticed on these aspects.

INTERNATIONAL TOURISTS’ ENVIRONMENTAL ATTITUDE TOWARDS HOTELS IN ACCRA
Creators: name: Mensah, Ishmael

Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2013

description: The available literature suggests that there has been a rise in green consumerism, not only among general consumers but tourists. This has provided the impetus for the ‘greening’ of hotels as hotel guests have indicated their preference for hotels that ‘take care of the environment’. Ironically, the environmental impacts of hotels especially with regards to the consumption of energy and water are more likely to be exacerbated by their guests. In spite of this, most studies on environmental management in hotels have centred on programmes and initiatives undertaken by management with little focus on the attitudes and behaviour of guests. This study sought to assess international tourists’ environmental attitude towards hotels in Accra and the implications for environmental management by hotels. A sample of 343 international tourists was surveyed at major tourist attraction sites in Accra. The results of the study indicate that a majority of respondents generally held the view that hotels do not destroy the environment but contribute to the global environmental problems. Most of them (83%) were therefore willing to pay more to stay in a hotel with a responsible environmental attitude. There was also a significant positive relationship between some sociodemographic characteristics of tourist such age and sex and their environmental behaviour. The results of this study have implications for environmental education of guests and the marketing of hotels.

This formula is derived from Mochizuki's formula, which makes sense and was proved when the 4-manifold is complex projective. Assuming our formula is true for a 4-manifold of simple type, we prove Witten's conjecture and sum rules for Seiberg-Witten invariants (superconformal simple type condition), conjectured by Mariño, Moore and Peradze.

description: Abstract

Purpose – The aim of this study is to analyze the role of Service Quality (SVQ) and Service Demand (SVD) as balancing indicators in the Supply Performance (SPP) generated by Sports Public Supply Subject (SPS). Design/methodology/approach – A survey was conducted on 790 volunteers participating in sports public services in Ganzi Prefecture. We constructed a structural equation model using AMOS and analyzed the direct and indirect relationships. Findings – The research results found that there is a relationship between SPS and SVD, SPS and SVQ, SPS and SPP, SVD and SPP, SVQ and SPP, and SVD and SVQ. The research results revealed that SVD plays a mediating role between SPS and SPP, SVQ plays a mediating role between SPS and SPP, and SVD and SVQ successively mediate the relationship between SPS and SPP. Research limitations/implications – The chain mediated effect provides various theoretical significance for the direct and indirect impact on the supply performance of sports public services. Practical implications – From the perspective of improving the performance of sports public services, it has practical significance for the managers of service providers. Meanwhile, this study also contributes to improving relevant policy. Originality/value –The innovation of this study lies in proposing Service Quality (SVQ) and Service Demand (SVD) as continuous mediators, which have a direct and indirect impact on Supply Performance (SPP).

description: Abstract

A virtual team is mainly comprised of geographically discrete professionals connected by technology in a global business environment. It gives an opportunity for employers to conquer skilled and talented people across borders to serve customers worldwide, and for employees, it provides a flexible career with work-life balance. However, in practice, managing a virtual team is complex due to cross-border cultural differences, diversity, technology, and social and environmental differences. Managing virtual team administration, communication, and collaboration can be cluttered due to a lack of interpersonal relations and a lack of trust between team members. However, in the current intense globalized business trend, virtual employment is sharply increasing as a work culture in the new generation workforce, leading to a greater emphasis on human resource management. This paper reveals the challenges of virtual teams and best HR practices to minimize complications of virtual team management. The opinion provided in this paper is based on the study conducted through existing research articles and some of the proceedings of contemporary popular business houses with virtual teams.

description: Abstract

With the rapid development and construction of high-rise buildings, especially in Jakarta, the restoration of heritage buildings like the A.A. Maramis building has become increasingly important. This study aims to apply Value Engineering (VE) principles to the restoration of heritage buildings, specifically to reduce restoration costs. Heritage buildings are invaluable cultural assets that must be preserved. The restoration process often requires the use of materials that match the original characteristics of the building, such as porous plaster. However, these materials can be expensive. This study seeks to identify alternative materials that can reduce costs without compromising the quality of the restoration work. By employing a quantitative-qualitative approach using the Pareto method, Function Analysis System Technique (FAST), Life Cycle Cost (LCC), and Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA), this research aims to find the most cost-effective solution while maintaining the building's original character. Primary data was collected from field observations, material comparisons, and expert questionnaires to assess the suitability of alternative materials.

This method allows a precise measurement of quantum mechanical phaseshifts of a Schrödinger wave packet bouncing off a hard surface in the gravitational field of the earth. Measurements with ultra-cold neutrons will offer a sensitivity to Newton's law or hypothetical short-ranged interactions, which is about 21 orders of magnitude below the energy scale of electromagnetism.

Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2014
Subjects: urbet türküleri / Gastarbeiterlieder; Kanaksta rap; Oriental Hip-Hop; Turkish-German hip-hop; Xenophobia in Germany

description: The article explores the trauma of the racist attacks of Hoyerswerda, Rostock-Lichtenhagen, Mölln and Solingen in the early 1990s and their impact on the Turkish community in Germany using the example of rap lyrics composed during those years. Hip-hop culture in Germany is primarily appropriated by male immigrant youths, especially with Turkish roots. During the first years of German rap (early 1990s), it is thus natural that the themes of the rappers were dominated by issues of social integration, multicultural coexistence and, after traumatic events of the racist attacks, of xenophobia and racism. After a short introduction to Turkish-German hip-hop culture (general features, social and cultural implications, Kanaksta Rap and the Kanak Attak community), the article provides some lyrics (in German and Turkish) and an analysis of the reception of the attacks in German hip-hop culture, especially in the production of the rap formation Cartel, a merging of several hip-hop groups with mainly Turkish elements.

description: We report the experimental observation of Ising superconductivity in 3-dimensional NbSe2 stacked with single-layer MoS2. The angular dependence of the upper critical magnetic field and the temperature dependence of the upper parallel critical field confirm the appearance of two-dimensional Ising superconductivity in the 3-dimensional NbSe2 with single-layer MoS2 overlay. We show that the superconducting phase has strong Ising spin-orbit correlations which make the holes spin non-degenerate. Our observation of Ising superconductivity in heterostructures of few-layer NbSe2 of thickness ~ 15 nm with single-layer MoS2 raises the interesting prospect of observing topological chiral superconductors with nontrivial Chern numbers in a momentum-space spin-split fermionic system.
The ribonuclease enzyme system in rat brain

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A study was made of the enzyme system responsible for the catabolism of ribonucleic acid in rat brain. Initial work with whole brain homogenates and extracts revealed the presence of three ribonucleases (RNases) distinguishable by the pH at which they exhibit optimal activity. The identified RNases are referred to according to their pH optima as pH 6.7 RNase, pH 7.8 RNase and pH 9.5 RNase. Evidence was also obtained indicating the presence of a protein inhibitor of the pH 7.8 RNase. The components of this multi-enzyme-inhibitor system were separated and partially purified by ammonium sulphate fractionation of whole brain extracts followed by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography of the ammonium sulphate precipitable fractions. The DEAE-cellulose eluate RNases were characterized with regard to the effect of various reagents upon their activity. The intracellular distribution and developmental profiles of the three RNase activities and the pH 7.8 RNase inhibitor activity were also determined.

description: Scalability and accuracy are well recognized challenges in deep extreme multi-label learning where the objective is to train architectures for automatically annotating a data point with the most relevant subset of labels from an extremely large label set. This paper develops the DeepXML framework that addresses these challenges by decomposing the deep extreme multi-label task into four simpler sub-tasks each of which can be trained accurately and efficiently. Choosing different components for the four sub-tasks allows DeepXML to generate a family of algorithms with varying trade-offs between accuracy and scalability. In particular, DeepXML yields the Astec algorithm that could be 2-12% more accurate and 5-30x faster to train than leading deep extreme classifiers on publically available short text datasets. Astec could also efficiently train on Bing short text datasets containing up to 62 million labels while making predictions for billions of users and data points per day on commodity hardware. This allowed Astec to be deployed on the Bing search engine for a number of short text applications ranging from matching user queries to advertiser bid phrases to showing personalized ads where it yielded significant gains in click-through-rates, coverage, revenue and other online metrics over state-of-the-art techniques currently in production.

Nâzım Hikmet e i traumi cullati e agitati  sulle onde della radio
Creators: name: Bellingeri, Giampiero
Publisher: name: Firenze University Press
Year: 2014
Subjects: cosmic perception; Nâzım Hikmet; radio; trauma

description: The article deals with traumas, of different intensity, expressed by Hikmet in his verses, composed from his adolescence until his death, in different existential and political phases of his life as an exile, a prisoner of his own homeland and an honorary and monitored guest of the USSR, where he found shelter and safety, but also censorship and disappointment. The suffering that he endured, dealt with the perception of dramas animating the history of the colonized world of the early 20th century, as well as the discontent experienced in the USSR’s satellite States. This perception seems to become real and definite thanks to his cosmic and mystic conception of human beings, in spite of the accusation and declaration of “materialism” against the poet and claimed by the author himself.

description: Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) includes milliarcsecond-accuracy astrometry for 14,099 asteroids. We explore the practical impact of this data for the purpose of asteroid mass and orbit estimation by estimating the masses individually for four large asteroids. We use various combinations of Gaia astrometry and/or Earth-based astrometry so as to determine the impact of Gaia on the estimated masses. By utilizing published information about estimated volumes and meteorite analogs, we also derive estimates for bulk densities and macroporosities. We apply a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm for asteroid mass and orbit estimation by modeling asteroid-asteroid close encounters to four separate large asteroids in an attempt to estimate their masses based on multiple simultaneously studied close encounters with multiple test asteroids. In order to validate our algorithm and data treatment, we apply the MCMC algorithm to pure orbit determination for the main-belt asteroid (367) Amicitia and compare the residuals to previously published ones. In addition, we attempt to estimate a mass for (445) Edna with Gaia astrometry alone based on its close encounter with (1764) Cogshall. In the case of the orbit of (367) Amicitia, we find a solution that improves on the previously published solution. The study of (445) Edna reveals that mass estimation with DR2 astrometry alone is unfeasible and that it must be combined with astrometry from other sources to achieve meaningful results. We find that a combination of DR2 and Earth-based astrometry results in dramatically reduced uncertainties and, by extension, significantly improved results in comparison to those computed based on less accurate Earth-based astrometry alone.

description: This article examines the relationship between trauma, memory and national identity in the context of modern Turkish literature. Since the end of the XIX century, Turkish literature has always been a privileged space for different writers and intellectuals to debate identity and cultural issues related to both nationalization and modernization. The traumatic results produced by the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and subsequently by the Kemalist reforms have emerged as central topics in the Turkish novel genre since its origins. A long-standing prevalent aesthetic approach in Turkey submitted the arts to social and political commitments. In the light of this, I will focus on Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’s narrative works, and in particular on his second novel Huzur, in order to underline the deep philosophical and political reflection that makes this author probably the most sophisticated interpreter of the main traumas in which Turkish national identity is grounded..

description: The description of the hydrological cycle in Atmospheric General Circulation Models (GCMs) can be validated using water isotopes as tracers. Many GCMs now simulate the movement of the stable isotopes of water, but here we present the first GCM simulations modelling the content of natural tritium in water. These simulations were obtained using a version of the LMDZ General Circulation Model enhanced by water isotopes diagnostics, LMDZ-iso. To avoid tritium generated by nuclear bomb testing, the simulations have been evaluated against a compilation of published tritium datasets dating from before 1950, or measured recently. LMDZ-iso correctly captures the observed tritium enrichment in precipitation as oceanic air moves inland (the so-called continental effect) and the observed north-south variations due to the latitudinal dependency of the cosmogenic tritium production rate. The seasonal variability, linked to the stratospheric intrusions of air masses with higher tritium content into the troposphere, is correctly reproduced for Antarctica with a maximum in winter. LMDZ-iso reproduces the spring maximum of tritium over Europe, but underestimates it and produces a peak in winter that is not apparent in the data. This implementation of tritium in a GCM promises to provide a better constraint on: (1) the intrusions and transport of air masses from the stratosphere and (2) the dynamics of the modelled water cycle. The method complements the existing approach of using stable water isotopes.

description: {Abridged}. An analysis of the calcium and hydrogen abundances, Galactic positions and kinematics of 146 DZ stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey demonstrates that interaction with the interstellar medium cannot account for their externally polluted atmospheres. The calcium-to-hydrogen ratios for the 37 DZA stars are dominated by super-solar values, as are the lower limits for the remaining 109 DZ stars. All together their metal-contaminated convective envelopes contain 10^{20+-2} g of calcium, commensurate with the masses of calcium inferred for large asteroids. It is probable that these stars are contaminated by circumstellar matter; the rocky remains of terrestrial planetary systems. In this picture, two predictions emerge: 1) at least 3.5% of all main sequence A- and F-type stars build terrestrial planets; and 2) the DZA stars are externally polluted by both metals and hydrogen, and hence constrain the frequency and mass of water-rich, extrasolar planetesimals.

title: Bibliotherapy for Depression: Evaluating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Approaches and Examining the Role of Client Choice
Creators: name: Davis, Carter H.

description: An alarming number of college students suffer from depression, which is often accompanied by struggles with anxiety and feeling inadequate compared to others (i.e., stigma). Seeing a counselor in person is challenging for many students due to wait times or feeling embarrassed or shameful. Using self-help books may be a helpful alternative for depressed students, but these books are not often tested in formal studies, and getting students to use self-help books over time is also difficult. Therefore, this study examined whether self-help books accessed online could help students with depression. We tested two books which use different approaches to treating depression: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). While some students were randomly given one of these two books, we also allowed some students to choose themselves which book they wanted to use, since we believed this may help students feel more invested in the treatment and use the book more consistently over time.
We enrolled 142 students in our study, who all read a self-help book over 10 weeks, while completing online surveys that asked about depression, anxiety, and depression-related stigma. We also asked students questions about how they look at their thoughts and feelings, since changes in these perspectives are often related to positive outcomes. Overall, students were satisfied with the book they used, however over half of them dropped out of the study by the 10-week mark. Over the course of the study, rates of depression, anxiety, and depression-related stigma lowered. There were only small differences in outcomes based on which book a student used. However, we found that students who were randomized to a book improved more than students who chose a book, and also read more of their book, which contradicted our predictions.
Our results suggest that distributing online self-help books to college students can help them in managing their depression. The finding that allowing students a choice of book did not lead to them using it more, and in fact led to worse outcomes compared to the students who randomly received a book, suggests that simply providing students with a viable self-help book may be more important than incorporating their individual preferences. Given that we struggled to keep students engaged in our study over time, future research should look into other ways of promoting adherence to self-help treatments for depression.

description: This deliverable presents the results of running the Unified European Application Benchmark Suite (UEABS). This work has been undertaken by Task 7.4 "Supporting European HPC Researchers" in the PRACE Sixth Implementation Phase (PRACE-6IP) project and is an extension of the work carried out in previous PRACE Implementation Phase projects.
The UEABS is a set of currently 13 application codes taken from the pre-existing DEISA Benchmark Suite, the PRACE Application Benchmark suite, and the PRACE Accelerator Benchmark Suite. The objective is providing a single benchmark suite of scalable, currently relevant and publicly available application codes and datasets, of a size which can realistically be run on large systems, and maintained in the future.
We present benchmark results and performance analyses on the current PRACE Tier-0 systems and for some applications on the recently available EuroHPC pre-exascale system HPC Vega. Furthermore, we compare the energy efficiency from an application point of view of systems where energy measurements at job level are possible. Finally, we conclude with a high-level comparison of the benchmark systems: starting with the ubiquitous LINPACK performance; followed by both application performance (time to solution, or speed) as well as energy efficiency (energy to solution). For this we combine all benchmark results and derive a comparison of the overall performance of the systems, and a comparison of the energy efficiency for the systems where we obtained energy measurements.
The results demonstrate that for some benchmarks there are significant differences in the performance obtained on the different architectures, and no one architecture gives the best performance on all the benchmarks.
The energy efficiency of the systems where energy measurements are possible strongly depends on the application benchmark / dataset / problem size / node count. Where usable, the GPU-based systems are the most energy efficient.
As expected, the optimal system/architecture strongly depends on the application benchmark / dataset / problem size / node count. The conclusion might be that LINPACK performance still is a reasonable indicator for application performance, but most people – including the LINPACK originators themselves – will disagree.
