description: The aim of the study was to evaluate the practice of women on the rational use of food in households and to assess awareness of the impact culinary behavior vitamins in foods. Preliminary studies were conducted among 100 households. It was found that women prefer fresh raw materials, but the majority of respondents do not wash them before peeling and kept too long in the water after peeling. The usual way of cooking vegetables and potatoes is to start from the cold water, which causes a significant loss of vitamin C.
Sensitivity of exposure-response relationships to exposure assessment strategies in retrospective cohort studies

description: Introduction: Exposure misclassification in epidemiologic studies results in attenuated exposure-response relationships. Using quantitative exposure estimates helps reduce exposure misclassification in retrospective studies, but it does not eliminate it. This study focused on two areas that impact the degree of exposure misclassification inherent in quantitative exposure estimates: (1) the choice of exposure indicator where the exposure of interest is a component of a mixture; (2) the choice between expert judgment and measurement-based exposure assessment strategies. Methods: These themes were examined empirically using data from two Canadian retrospective occupational cohort studies: the BC Aluminum Smelter Cohort (n=6423) and the BC Sawmill Cohort (n=26,847). In the smelter cohort exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), measured as benzene soluble materials (BSM) and benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), was examined in relation to mortality and cancer incidence. In the sawmill cohort three exposures classes were evaluated: (1) nonspecific dust and wood dust in relation to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease hospitalizations; (2) total chlorophenols, pentachlorophenols (PCP), and tetrachlorophenol (TCP) in relation to cancer incidence; and (3) noise estimated using expert-based and measurement-based approaches in relation to heart disease mortality. The shape, goodness of fit, and precision of the exposure-response relationships were evaluated using Poisson regression. Results: Using a more specific exposure measure that was more proximal to the causal agent(s) improved the precision of the exposure-response relationship by between 1--14% for BaP over BSM, by 10--30% for PCP over total chlorophenols, and by 218% for wood dust over nonspecific dust. Measurement-based noise estimates improved the precision by 12--108% over the use of expert ratings. Accounting for hearing protection use in the measurement-based noise estimates improved the precision by 58% over the unadjusted estimates. The observed attenuation was not correlated with predicted attenuation from theoretical equations. Conclusions: Examining the precision of exposure-response relationships provided a quantifiable measure for evaluating different exposure assessment approaches. Refining the quantitative exposure estimates, through the use of more proximal exposure measures and the use of exposure measurements, resulted in stronger, more precise exposure-response relationships. With the exception of the expert-based noise estimates, the more common, less specific exposure measures resulted in inconclusive exposure-disease associations.

description: The barley is important link in production potential of polish agriculture. The aim of the study was comparision of barley production in different regions of Poland. The sources for regional diversification analysis of the barley production were statistical GUS data from 2012-2013, accessed according to the province. In a subjective way, 18 factors that were characteristic for barley production were chosen and were statistically analysed. Applying the multivariate analysis method allowed showing the regional diversification of barley production in Poland and determining the factors that influence it. The cluster analysis method was used to isolate five groups of provinces, which differed in barley production. In this paper it was found that regional diversity of barley production is mainly affected by organization and edaphic factors.

description: The basic research material comprised empirical data on household budgets conducted by CSO (The Central Statistical Offi ce). The analysed housing conditions of 15 742 rural households in 2012 in Poland. Attention is paid to some households in poor housing situation. Diversity of housing situation and factors affecting this state of affairs is presented. We observe not only the diversity of household wealth, but there are also disparities in housing situation. Disturbing and contrary to the principles of sustainable development and sustainable consumption is the fact that there are signifi cant differences in the size (10–900 m2 ) and quality of fl ats. Some have more than one house, others are not able to meet their basic needs. Until 13% fl ats of rural households had leaky roofs, damp walls or rotting windows and fl oors. Nearly 1.3% of them also was too tight and located in an area with a low level of infrastructure. It was associated with poor revenue situation, but also the type of the main source of income, family situation and who was the owner of the apartment. Approx. 1.4% of the fl ats had no running water, and almost 18% were heated using heating furnaces, which are not only a nuisance in operation, but also emit carbon dioxide harmful to the environment. Some rural households (5%) had credit, but they have better fi nancial situation than others.

description: One of the macroscopically measurable effects of gravity is the tidal deformability of astrophysical objects, which can be quantified by their tidal Love numbers. For planets and stars, these numbers measure the resistance of their material against the tidal forces, and the resulting contribution to their gravitational multipole moments. According to general relativity, nonrotating deformed black holes, instead, show no addition to their gravitational multipole moments, and all of their Love numbers are zero. In this paper we explore different configurations of nonrotating compact and ultracompact stars to bridge the compactness gap between black holes and neutron stars and calculate their Love number $k_2$. We calculate $k_2$ for the first time for uniform density ultracompact stars with mass $M$ and radius $R$ beyond the Buchdahl limit (compactness $M/R > 4/9$), and we find that $k_2 \to 0^+$ as $M/R \to 1/2$, i.e., the Schwarzschild black hole limit. Our results provide insight on the zero tidal deformability limit and we use current constraints on the binary tidal deformability $\tildeΛ$ from GW170817 (and future upper limits from binary black hole mergers) to propose tests of alternative models.

description: Chain and market-oriented dairy sustainability, nutritional and social objectives related to the promotion of behaviours aimed at the development are essential. At the same time, the signifi cance of the various forms of sales promotion, as a factor of consumer buying behaviour infl uence, increases. The study includes the use of the sales promotion instruments in commercial space, perceived by consumers and assessment of their impact on purchasing decisions. The study was carried out on the basis of a standardized authoring individual interview questionnaire on nationwide random-quota, registered trials, in 2007–2012, as a part of the study of consumer behaviour performed in the dairy market for KZSM (National Association of Dairy Cooperatives). The results confi rm that the effect of promotion activities is a high visibility by consumers and change of their purchasing decisions. The most important determinant of consumer purchasing behaviour are the price promotions. Most often supported by a complete set of sales promotion instruments have been modern dairy products – yoghurt, grainy and ripening cheese. Sales promotion is an important instrument of balancing the dairy market and shaping the desired behaviour of consumers.

description: Long-term abuse of antibiotics and intensive breeding mode have made it as a reservoir and transmission hotspot for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Due to the anti-pathogen features, diverse traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been applied in animal husbandry to replace antibiotics. But questions regarding the mobility, bacterial hosts, and human health risks of ARGs in animal husbandry with TCM addition remain poorly solved. Here, cecal digesta was collected in a representative Chinese local chicken breed (Wuding chicken) between the moderate stocking and high stocking with different TCMs addition, and analyzed by the metagenomics-based technology.

description: We assess the performance of the multipole expansion formalism in the case of single-dish HI intensity mapping, including instrumental and foreground removal effects. This formalism is used to provide MCMC forecasts for a range of HI and cosmological parameters, including redshift space distortions and the Alcock-Paczynski effect. We first determine the range of validity of our power spectrum modelling by fitting to simulation data, concentrating on the monopole, quadrupole, and hexadecapole contributions. We then show that foreground subtraction effects can lead to severe biases in the determination of cosmological parameters, in particular the parameters relating to the transverse BAO rescaling, the growth rate and the HI bias ($α_\perp$, $\overline{T}_\text{HI} fσ_8$, and $\overline{T}_\text{HI} b_\text{HI} σ_8$, respectively). We attempt to account for these biases by constructing a 2-parameter foreground modelling prescription, and find that our prescription leads to unbiased parameter estimation at the expense of increasing the estimated uncertainties on cosmological parameters. In addition, we confirm that instrumental and foreground removal effects significantly impact the theoretical covariance matrix, and cause the covariance between different multipoles to become non-negligible. Finally, we show the effect of including higher-order multipoles in our analysis, and how these can be used to investigate the presence of instrumental and systematic effects in HI intensity mapping data.

description: We determine the critical equation of state of the three-dimensional O(N) universality class, for N=4, 5, 6, 32, 64. The N=4 is relevant for the chiral phase transition in QCD with two flavors, the N=5 model is relevant for the SO(5) theory of high-T_c superconductivity, while the N=6 model is relevant for the chiral phase transition in two-color QCD with two flavors. We first consider the small-field expansion of the effective potential (Helmholtz free energy). Then, we apply a systematic approximation scheme based on polynomial parametric representations that are valid in the whole critical regime, satisfy the correct analytic properties (Griffiths' analyticity), take into account the Goldstone singularities at the coexistence curve, and match the small-field expansion of the effective potential. From the approximate representations of the equation of state, we obtain estimates of universal amplitude ratios. We also compare our approximate solutions with those obtained in the large-N expansion, up to order 1/N, finding good agreement for N \gtrsim 32.

description: We explore the possibility of detecting HI 21cm absorption by the neutral intergalactic medium (IGM) toward very high redshift radio sources, and by gas associated with the first collapsed structures, using the Square Kilometer Array at low frequency (100 to 200 MHz). The epoch considered is between the time when the first ionizing sources form and when the bulk of the neutral IGM becomes ionized. Expected IGM absorption signal includes $\sim 1%$ absorption by the mean neutral IGM (the radio 'Gunn-Peterson' effect'), plus deeper, narrow lines ($\ge 5%$, a few km s$^{-1}$) arising in mild density inhomogeneities with typical values of cosmic overdensity $δ\sim 10$, precisely the structures that at later times give rise to the Ly$α$ forest (the `21cm forest'). Absorption can also arise in gas associated with collapsed structures ($δ\ge 100$), including 'minihalos' ($\le 10^7$ M$_\odot$) and protodisks ($\ge 10^8$ M$_\odot$). We consider SKA sensitivity limits and the evolution of radio source populations, and conclude that it is reasonable to hypothesize the existence of an adequate number of high-$z$ radio sources against which such absorption studies could be performed, provided that reionization occurs at $z < 10$. Lastly, we discuss the possibility of `line confusion' due to radio recombination lines arising in the ionized IGM.

description: Recent methods for 6D pose estimation of objects assume either textured 3D models or real images that cover the entire range of target poses. However, it is difficult to obtain textured 3D models and annotate the poses of objects in real scenarios. This paper proposes a method, Neural Object Learning (NOL), that creates synthetic images of objects in arbitrary poses by combining only a few observations from cluttered images. A novel refinement step is proposed to align inaccurate poses of objects in source images, which results in better quality images. Evaluations performed on two public datasets show that the rendered images created by NOL lead to state-of-the-art performance in comparison to methods that use 13 times the number of real images. Evaluations on our new dataset show multiple objects can be trained and recognized simultaneously using a sequence of a fixed scene.

description: Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecological cancer. Fistulization of ovarian cancer into digestive tract with a fistula tract is a rare phenomenon. This complication worsens the prognosis, the fistulous communication in the digestive lumen leads to the leakage of its contents. The tumor therefore becomes superinfected and may result in pelvic peritonitis in case of secondary rupture. On the other hand, the patient is deprived of the benefit of undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy, which will decrease the chances of a complete macroscopic cytoreduction. This case presents a 53-year-old patient operated on for a presumed ovarian abscess. Upon exploration, an ovarian tumor fistulized into the sigmoid was discovered. The treatment consisted of sigmoidectomy, creation of an end-loop colostomy, total hysterectomy, bilateral oopohorectomy, peritonectomy of 2 pelvic parietal nodules, infra-gastric omentectomy and lombo-aortic curage. The current case highlighted the encountered difficulty on diagnostic and therapeutic levels: the ovarian tumor was misdiagnosed as an abscess and the need of extensive extirpative surgery to comply with “oncological surgery of the ovary” in a hostile environment. Through a literature review, we aim to sensitize the medical community of this rare entity in order to clarify its pathophysiological consequences and make the adequate therapeutic measures.

description: The epoch of reionization (EoR) sets a fundamental benchmark in cosmic structure formation, corresponding to the formation of the first luminous objects that act to ionize the neutral intergalactic medium (IGM). Recent observations at near-IR and radio wavelengths imply that we are finally probing into this key epoch of galaxy formation at $z \ge 6$. The Square Kilometer Array (SKA) will provide critical insight into the EoR in a number of ways. First, the ability of the SKA to image the neutral IGM in 21cm emission is a truly unique probe of the process of reionization, and is recognized as the next necessary and fundamental step in our study of the evolution of large scale structure and cosmic reionization. Second, study of HI 21cm absorption toward the first radio loud objects probes small to intermediate scale structure in the neutral 'cosmic web', as well as HI in the first collapsed structures (proto-disks and mini-halos). And third, the incomparable sensitivity of the SKA allows for the study of the molecular gas, dust, and star formation activity in the first galaxies, as well as the radio continuum emission from the first accreting massive black holes. Such objects will be obscured at optical wavelengths due to absorption by the neutral IGM.

description: We present homogeneous scales of ages and metallicities for star clusters from very young objects, through intermediate-age ones up to the oldest known clusters. All the selected clusters have integrated spectra in the visible range, as well as reliable determinations of their ages and metallicities. From these spectra equivalent widths (EWs) of KCaII, Gband(CH) and MgI metallic, and Hdelta, Hgamma and Hbeta Balmer lines have been measured homogeneously. The analysis of these EWs shows that the EW sums of the metallic and Balmer H lines, separately, are good indicators of cluster age for objects younger than 10 Gyr, and that the former is also sensitive to cluster metallicity for ages greater than 10 Gyr. We propose an iterative procedure for estimating cluster ages by employing two new diagnostic diagrams and age calibrations based on the above EW sums. For clusters older than 10 Gyr, we also provide a calibration to derive their overall metal contents.

description: Machine learning techniques have been used to quantify the relationship between local structural features and variations in local dynamical activity in disordered glass-forming materials. To date these methods have been applied to an array of standard (Arrhenius and super-Arrhenius) glass formers, where work on "soft spots" indicates a connection between the linear vibrational response of a configuration and the energy barriers to non-linear deformations. Here we study the Voronoi model, which takes its inspiration from dense epithelial monolayers and which displays anomalous, sub-Arrhenius scaling of its dynamical relaxation time with decreasing temperature. Despite these differences, we find that the likelihood of rearrangements can vary by several orders of magnitude within the model tissue and extract a local structural quantity, "softness" that accurately predicts the temperature-dependence of the relaxation time. We use an information-theoretic measure to quantify the extent to which softness determines impending topological rearrangements; we find that softness captures nearly all of the information about rearrangements that is obtainable from structure, and that this information is large in the solid phase of the model and decreases rapidly as state variables are varied into the fluid phase.

description: The goal of the article is to determine the place and role of opinion giving services in consumer behaviours. The discussion is conducted around the thesis saying that in the information society, opinion giving services constitute an important source of information for consumers in the process of selecting and purchasing both products and services. In the article the research approach based on the theoretical and empirical examinations was presented. The discussion starts with presenting a defi nition and types of opinion giving services which constitute the base for the characteristics of activities and usefulness of web portals collecting consumers opinions. The use of opinion giving services provided in the purchase process was evaluated. An essential interest in other consumers opinions, placed in Internet, was observed together with perceiving them as credible. Positive assessment of the functionality of opinion giving services was noticed.
"Crawling through these cracks" : the apocalyptic body in contemporary literatures of transgression
Creators: name: Foster, Wendy Christine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Apocalypse narratives and their categorical perversions provide a symptomatology of Western cultural subject-formation, and chart out the subject’s anxious response to his own desire for transcendence. Through close readings of four contemporary American authors: Kathy Acker, Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Hubert Selby Jr., the generic matrices of apocalypse as a formal literary and cultural structure (or set of structures) are examined. These contemporary apocalypses, contextualized with and against their historical antecedents, the Book of Daniel and Revelation, disclose what I theorize as a logic of the terminal subject--the transgressive confrontation of the subject with his own condition of disappearance. Mobilizing psychoanalytic and poststructuralist critical legacies I seek, here, to open up the field of apocalypse studies to a renewed investigatory practice, which would engage both the theological as well as secular representational content of end-time practices and discourse.
Jet production in Polarized DIS at NNLO

description: We present the NNLO calculation for single-inclusive jet production in polarized DIS $\vec{e}\vec{p} \rightarrow {\rm jet} +X$. We perform the computation based on the Projection-to-Born method by combining our recent NLO result for di-jet production in polarized DIS along with the NNLO coefficients for the inclusive cross section. In this way, we achieve NNLO accuracy in a fully exclusive way for single-jet observables, the first time for a polarized cross section. We study the perturbative stability and phenomenological consequences of the QCD corrections for Electron Ion Collider kinematics.

Familial medullary thyroid carcinoma: A rare germline mutation in the RET proto-oncogene

description: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an aggressive thyroid cancer that generally accounts for more than 10% of thyroid malignancies. Approximately 25% of MTC cases exhibit up hereditary traits. Dominantly inherited syndromes of MTC such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN 2A), multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B (MEN 2B) and familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC) are linked to gain-of-function alterations in the RET proto-oncogene. This latter encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in several signal transduction pathways in neural precursor cells. Therefore, genetic screening for RET mutations facilitates early disease diagnosis and the possibility of prophylactic thyroidectomy for at-risk relatives. This study underscores the relevance of RET genetic analysis by describing a familial case of MTC with c.1597G>T (p.Gly533Cys) mutation in the RET gene.

description: Some meson correlation functions have a large contribution from the low lying eigenmodes of the Dirac operator. The contribution of these eigenmodes can be averaged over all positions of the source. This can improve the signal in these channels significantly. We test the method for meson two-point functions.

description: Care for the environment is driving global developments in the fi eld of food and nutrition, which apply equally to consumption, production and distribution of food. To get insights into changes in consumer behaviour towards food implied by the concern for the environment, quantitative research was carried out on a representative sample of 1000 Polish consumers. The questionnaire contained, among others, variables describing various dimensions of food related lifestyle and willingness to pro-environmental changes in the sphere of food consumption. The data obtained was analysed using cluster analysis and dividing consumers into four segments with different inclinations to engage in behaviour in line with the concept of sustainable consumption. Concern for the environment was most strongly emphasized in the segment of “modern” consumers. Consumers representing this segment were distinguished by attention to environmental issues and at the same time they were willing to pay more for food products with outstanding quality attributes. They attached great importance to the brand when making food purchasing decision. Moreover, they declared more often to buy organic food, and at the same time refrain from ready meals and pre-prepared meal components. The slightest concern for the environment was observed in the segment of “uninvolved” taste-oriented consumers who are interested in new products but less in issues related to food and nutrition. The results of the research highlight the relationship between lifestyle, food choices, and concern for the environment, which can be used in the creation of marketing communication strategy to stimulate sustainable consumption.
Production-inventory systems : optimal control and empirical analysis
Creators: name: Wu, Owen Qun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis consists of three independent essays in the area of production and inventory management. The first essay is concerned with a competitive equilibrium production-inventory model with application to the petroleum refining industry. We first examine an individual firm controlling production and inventories and facing uncertain raw material price, finished goods price and operating costs. The firm maximizes the expected discounted profit over an infinite horizon. We show that, the optimal control is of a threshold type. Next, we consider an economy with many raw material suppliers, production firms and consumers. Both the supply and the demand are uncertain and price-sensitive. We establish and characterize the rational expectations equilibrium price process for this economy, and further derive the equilibrium in an explicit form for a special economy. Finally, we simulate the equilibrium model to reproduce some stylized facts of the petroleum refining industry and fit the model with actual data. The second essay studies an inventory system that supplies price-sensitive demand modeled by Brownian motion. The optimal pricing and inventory replenishment, decisions under both long-run average and discounted objectives are derived, and related to or contrasted with previously known results. In addition, we emphasize the interplay between pricing and replenishment decisions, and the ways in which they react to the demand uncertainty. We show that the joint optimization of both decisions may result in significant profit improvement compared to the traditional method of making decisions separately or sequentially. We also show that multiple price changes result in only a limited profit improvement over the optimal single price. In the third essay, we examine the inventories of publicly traded American manufacturing companies between 1981 and 2000. The median of inventory holding periods were reduced from 96 days to 81 days. The average rate of inventory reduction is about 2% per year. The greatest reduction was found for work-in-process inventory, which declined by about 6% per year. Finished-goods inventories did not decline. Inventory holdings significantly affect firms’ long-term stock returns. Firms with abnormally high inventories have abnormally poor long-term stock returns. Firms with slightly lower than average inventories have good stock returns, but firms with the lowest inventories have only ordinary returns.
