Perceived room for manoeuvre of farmers in a situationof limiting growth possibillities: The case of Kampereiland

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The relation between farm development and its direct surroundings is of renewed interest. Growing urbanization and changes in societal demands increase the need for farmers to integrate developments in their direct surroundings in farm development. Especially in densely populated regions with a high natural or cultural-historical value, farmers are challenged to integrate changes in the biophysical and societal environment in farm strategy. Opportunities for farm development may be outside the traditional growth strategy making opportunity identification more challenging. Regional development programs aim at supporting farmers in opportunity identification as farm development is crucial in reaching regional goals. Better understanding of opportunity identification by farmers in relation to their direct surroundings may help to better support farmers. This study focuses on the perceived room for manoeuvre of farmers defined as the number of options he perceives as viable to generate income on his farm. Based upon an analytical framework, a questionnaire was designed focusing on the topics of perceived room for manoeuvre, network and experience, household and the perception of market developments, technical developments, rural-urban relations and 3 competences linked to entrepreneurship (networking, analyzing and pursuing). The questionnaire was send to farmers in the context of case study Kampereiland, a designated area of 4200 ha agricultural land owned by the local municipality with 108 (dairy) tenant farmers. 78 farmers responded to the questionnaire. The first results will be presented and discussed at the conference. Correlation analysis and factor analysis will be conducted on the data and in-depth interviews are used to clarify relations found. The focus of the research question is on the factors most influencing the perceived room for manoeuvre of farm development as constructed by farmers. The room for manoeuvre of farmers as perceived by third party persons will be the next focus of the research followed by research on the effectiveness of methods supporting strategy development of farmers in changing biophysical and societal surroundings
Future math teachers` readiness to develop mathematical abilities of pupils

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Current study is devoted to the readiness of future math teachers to develop pupils` mathematical abilities. Development of pupils` mathematical abilities is one of the most important problems in learning mathematics. Many Russian and foreign scholars were engaged in research of mathematical abilities. Tutoring support having been provided for young teachers and graduates of Kazan federal university pedagogical department showed a number of issues. Novice teachers engage “average” students, do not implement an individual approach, have certain difficulties in determining pupils` mathematical abilities and applying the methods of its development. Consequently, the purpose of this study was to identify ways to improve training of future mathematics teachers in terms of developing students' mathematical abilities.Analysis of specific literature showed distinction between ordinary “school” abilities to assimilate mathematical knowledge, to reproduce and implement it on the one side, and creative mathematical abilities associated with designing original product. In this regard questionnaires were drawn to establish ideas of KFU students as future math teachers about current state and possibilities of developing pupils` mathematical abilities.The study determined that success of future teachers` training depends on many factors. A considerable place must be given both to development of students` mathematical abilities themselves and to development of their pedagogical competencies.
Academic Attainment and Canadian Intercollegiate Athletics: Temporal Shifts

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In this study the academic attainment of male and female intercollegiate athletes at a mid-sized Canadian university was examined for varying time periods in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. The academic performance of the athletes is compared, in each case, to a sample of non-athletes matched on year of first enrollment, academic program at first enrollment, and gender. On various measures the findings indicate that the student athletes performed increasingly well in comparison to their non-athlete counterparts from time period to time period. This pattern was more marked for females than males. In the 2000s, female athletes graduated successfully more often than female non-athletes and were more often enrolled in Honors programs. Female athletes consistently outperformed male athletes in all three time periods. We conclude by discussing the structure and culture of intercollegiate sport in Canada in order to broach the question of why the intercollegiate sport experience at this Canadian university has not hindered academic success. Comparisons with findings from American studies are ventured to offer a preliminary cross-cultural analysis of American/Canadian differences in intercollegiate sport culture.
Lipid Management in Patients Presenting With Acute Coronary Syndromes: A Review

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Despite many improvements in its prevention and management, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. Lipid management is an important part of secondary prevention after ACS, but many patients currently remain undertreated and do not attain guideline‐recommended levels of low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol reduction. This review details the current state of evidence on lipid management in patients presenting with ACS, provides directions for identification of patients who may benefit from early escalation of lipid‐lowering therapy, and discusses novel lipid‐lowering medication that is currently under investigation in clinical trials. Moreover, a treatment algorithm aimed at attaining guideline‐recommended low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol levels is proposed. Despite important advances in the initial treatment and secondary prevention of ACS, ≈20% of ACS survivors experience a subsequent ischemic cardiovascular event within 24 months, and 5‐year mortality ranges from 19% to 22%. Knowledge of the current state of evidence‐based lipid management after ACS is of paramount importance to improve outcomes after ACS.
Health‐related quality of life of older Asian patients with multimorbidity in primary care in a developed nation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Aim Older adults are susceptible to two or more chronic ailments or multimorbidity. The present study aimed to establish the relationship between multimorbidity and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) amongst Asian elderly patients in primary care in a developed nation. It also assessed how functional disability and chronic musculoskeletal pain are associated with HRQoL. Methods A cross‐sectional study was carried out in a Singapore public primary care clinic. An interviewer‐administered questionnaire was used to collect data on chronic disease profile, HRQoL (using the European Quality of Life 5 Dimension), basic activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, musculoskeletal pain and sociodemographic characteristics. The association of multimorbidity, functional disability and chronic musculoskeletal pain with HRQoL was assessed using multivariate linear regression analysis. Results A total of 498 outpatients aged 65 years and older with multimorbidity were enrolled. Their mean age was 73.9 years, and approximately 75% had between two and four chronic conditions. The most commonly reported chronic conditions were hypertension (86.1%), hyperlipidemia (80.7%), diabetes (40.2%) and arthritis (33.3%). The European Quality of Life 5 Dimension index score decreased significantly when the number of comorbidities was more than five. Chronic hip and knee pain, one or more “dependent” activities of daily living dimensions and two or more “dependent” IADL dimensions were independently associated with worse HRQoL. Conclusions Multimorbidity is associated with poorer HRQoL amongst older adults in Singapore. Review of chronic musculoskeletal pain and functional disabilities should be integrated into the comprehensive assessment of older adults in an enhanced model of primary care to improve the HRQoL of these older patients.

Impact of Unsteady Flow Events on Bedload Transport: A Review of Laboratory Experiments

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Recent advances in understanding bedload transport under unsteady flow conditions are presented, with a particular emphasis on laboratory experiments. The contribution of laboratory studies to the explanation of key processes of sediment transport observed in alluvial rivers, ephemeral streams, and river reaches below a dam is demonstrated, primarily focusing on bedload transport in gravel-bed streams. The state of current knowledge on the impact of flow properties (unsteady flow hydrograph shape and duration, flood cycles) and sediment attributes (bed structure, sediment availability, bed composition) on bedload are discussed, along with unsteady flow dynamics of the water-sediment system. Experiments published in recent years are summarized, the main findings are presented, and future directions of research are suggested.
O szczególnym wymiarze żydowskiej tożsamości

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This essay tries to present a special face of the Jewish people in the history of man and world. As a key to understand the Jewish condition and identity I am using a well known notion of “the wandering Jew”. The counterpoint to a negative perception of this idea of Jews is a deep and real insight in their identity. This identity was shaped through the exceptional, consecutive encounters of Hebrews, Israelis, of the Jewish people with the unique God. He is unique also by the fact of their election and guidance on the way aiming to experience Him as the Lord full of love to them. This “knowing” of God occurs through the mutual relations between people and peoples. The fundamental feature of the Jewish condition is wandering, un-domestication which should result in breaking with these fetters and ties which make impossible our self-understanding which is a condition of a veritable freedom. This freedom is recognized in fulfilling one’ s vocation which starts with the election by God. The patriarchs of Israel – Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are the figures-icons useful in a better existential understanding of man and God. The Shoah which was so terrifying tragedy of Jews was a turning point for the Jewish reflection on their own vicissitudes, on the relation to God and the whole history. In the same time the Shoah was and should be fundamental to the contemporary civilization as well as to Christians and Churches in perceiving their vocation and mission.
An Infinite-Dimensional Variational Inequality Formulation and Existence Result for Dynamic User Equilibrium with Elastic Demands

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

This paper is concerned with dynamic user equilibrium (DUE) with elastic travel demand (E-DUE). We present and prove a variational inequality (VI) formulation of E-DUE using measure-theoretic argument. Moreover, existence of the E-DUE is formally established with a version of Brouwer's fixed point theorem in a properly defined Hilbert space. The existence proof requires the effective delay operator to be continuous, a regularity condition also needed to ensure the existence of DUE with fixed demand (Han et al., 2013c). Our proof does not invoke the a priori upper bound of the departure rates (path flows).
The Burden of Inpatient Hospitalizations with Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Diseases in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes: Insights from the National Inpatient Sample in the US

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the burden and impact of cardiac and cerebrovascular disease (CCD) on hospital inpatients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Methods: This is a retrospective nationwide cohort study of people with T1DM with or without CCD in the US National Inpatient Sample between 2016 to 2019. The in-hospital mortality rates, length of stay (LoS) and healthcare costs were determined. Results: A total of 59,860 T1DM patients had a primary diagnosis of CCD and 1,382,934 did not. The median LoS was longer for patients with CCD compared to no CCD (4.6 vs. 3 days). Patients with T1DM and CCD had greater in-hospital mortality compared to those without CCD (4.1% vs. 1.1%, p&amp;lt;0.001). The estimated total care cost for all patients with T1DM with CCD was approximately US $326 million. The adjusted odds of mortality compared to patients with non-CCD admission was greatest for intracranial hemorrhage (OR 17.37, 95%CI 12.68-23.79), pulmonary embolism (OR 4.39, 95%CI 2.70-7.13), endocarditis (OR 3.46, 95%CI 1.22-9.84), acute myocardial infarction (OR 2.31, 95%CI 1.92-2.77) and stroke (OR 1.47, 95%CI 1.04-2.09). Conclusions: The burden of CCD in patients with T1DM is substantial and significantly associated with increased hospital mortality and high healthcare expenditures.
The athlete–doctor relationship: power, complicity, resistance and accomplices in recycling dominant sporting ideologies

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Sociological investigations into the athletemedical practitionerrelationship are scarce due to medical bias for positivist epistemologies.The aim of this research was to identify the scope and purpose ofmedical interventions for four athletes, within the context of socialprocesses that enable medicine to claim athletic bodies as objects ofpractice and performance. The role and function of power in theathletemedical doctor transaction and athlete embodiment were alsoof interest. Using a story-analyst approach grounded in narrativeanalysis, the ideologies of slim to win and performance were identifiedas the impetus for the athletes seeking the expertise of doctors. Doctorswere positioned as accomplices in slim to win and performanceideologies within the athletes stories, which influenced medicalpractices and compromised athlete health. Disciplinary power wasenacted when the doctors observed, corrected and manipulated theathletes bodies through medical practice. Athletes also had agencythrough renegotiating the meaning of the treatment process byreconfiguring medical doctors disciplinary power as forms ofempowerment knowledge. This research highlights the complex natureof the athletemedical doctor transaction and how these encounters canbe productive and oppressive for athletes.
Bio-Inspired Products and Technology Innovation- The Present and Future

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Businesses throughout the world are looking to nature for ideas when creating new goods; this is a trend that is indicative of the bio-innovation industry's explosive expansion. Product creation has benefited greatly from the so-called "biomimicry," or the mimicking of ancient biological and ecological patterns and principles. In too distant future, technology will not only mimic nature but also stand side by side. ‘Bio’ in future will serve as an additional descriptor for human creativity. Such creativity has to create more customer-friendly novel products keeping the mind environmentally suitable may be made according to the trend of bio-inspiration. Days are not far to witness the level of creativity beyond our wild imagination. Businesses are learning more about and figuring out how the biological systems operating at the moment may invent the wildest and crazy bio-inspired products. Nowadays customers are more mindful and conscious of the environment, and paying attention to innovation for sustainability. Growing green customers are forcing companies to put top priority on Bio-Technology as well as on Green Technology a signal for strong customer environmentalism [1]. Businesses are investing an increasing amount of capital in research and development for nature-inspired solutions, and product development synthesizing human ingenuity and biological knowledge. The evolution is not exactly to produce better products, but products fit according to nature for a sustainable world. Given this backdrop of nature-inspired revolution, examination is required especially how industry, technology, and the environment are related to one another. This paper articulates a descriptive picture of Bio-Inspired products, Bio-Inspired Innovation, and Bio-Inspired technology for future businesses that would connect sustainability in future.
Low-pressure gas spectroscopy using terahertz frequency synthesizer traceable to microwave frequency standard via dual optical comb

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We constructed a widely and continuously tunable terahertz frequency synthesizer traceable to a microwave frequency standard. Photomixing of two optical frequency synthesizers, linked to the frequency standard via dual optical frequency combs, makes this THz synthesizer traceable to the frequency standard. To demonstrate the potential of wide and continuous tunability in the THz synthesizer, we tuned its output frequency by 120 GHz continuously around 0.65 THz by using a uni-traveling-carrier photodiode as a photomixer and applied it for precise THz spectroscopy of low-pressure molecular gas. This THz synthesizer will be a powerful tool for broadband, high-precision THz spectroscopy.

Financial Performance of Organic Cattle Farming

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

FFI/ha on organic cattle rearing farms was 56% higher than on conventional farms due entirely to lower costs of production (€240/ha v €640/ha). However the organic farms were selected as monitor farms and therefore represent the better producers whilst the conventional farms were selected at random. Output and direct payments per ha were higher on conventional farms but not sufficient to cover the additional costs. Organic farms were 24% larger than conventional farms. Organic drystock cattle producers had a more viable socio-economic profile, whilst technical performance was higher on the conventional farms. Organic dairy farms had 7% higher farm income over conventional dairy farmers in 2007. However, these data are based on a small sample and should therefore be interpreted with caution. \n

Requirement prioritization framework using case‐based reasoning: A mining‐based approach

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract In the current era of technology and development, component‐based software development (CBSD) has been progressively implemented. Components are used in large products for multiple users with diverse viewpoints and are highly configurable to provide higher satisfaction. Components are reused because of their similar functionality to reduce complexity and ensure the correct interaction between interfaces during product development. However, implementation of component functionalities creates complications due to improper specification, prioritization of components requirements, encapsulated functionalities, and more human interaction. Furthermore, due to configurability and the involvement of multiple stakeholders, ambiguity and semantic issues arise in the behaviour of reusable components. To overcome semantic‐based specification and prioritization components' related issues, we propose a framework that uses text mining and case‐based reasoning (CBR) techniques. Results of our empirical evaluation demonstrate that the proposed framework significantly outperforms the conventional technique.
