College Student Involvement in Hunting and Shooting Sports: What Drives Participation?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Little is known about college students’ participation in shooting sports or hunting with firearms. It is also unknown how participation in these activities during the college years differs from childhood participation and why. This study investigated these questions with a survey of 298 college students in the Northeastern United States in 2017 and 2018. Results indicated that characteristics of the area where respondents grew up influenced their hunting participation during college, but this was not the case for shooting sports. Across activities, having fun was the topmost reported motivation for participation. For hunting with firearms, obtaining locally sourced meat was the second most commonly reported rationale. Participation in hunting and shooting sports was lower in college than in childhood; this trend was not explained by demographic characteristics.
Rapid analysis of Na, Mg, Ca, Fe, and Zn in breakfast cereals (granola type) by energy dispersive‐X‐ray fluorescence

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Energy dispersive‐X‐ray fluorescence (ED‐XRF) is a well spread near‐line analytical technique, suitable for easy and rapid measurement of major elements and/or trace elements especially in many different food matrices. This study demonstrates the fitness for purpose of this method to ensure the correct addition of minerals during breakfast cereal production. Indeed, variations in process and in raw material compositions may lead to values out of legal tolerance, and thus quality controls need to be regularly performed to meet the release compliance criteria. Using such analytical technique close to production lines can allow controls that are more systematic as well as avoiding the shipment of numerous samples for reference method analyses often done to external laboratories. Thus, ED‐XRF allows to ensure finished products compliance with product declarations. A commercial ED‐XRF device was used during this study. Within 7 min of analytical time for two replicates/sample, the developed method gave accurate results for the quantification of Na, Mg, Ca, Fe, and Zn in breakfast cereals without any proportional biases between ED‐XRF and reference method (inductively coupled plasma‐atomic emission spectrometry) results.
Fitness industry: the influence of service attributes in membership renewall

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Physical activity is no longer seen only as leisure but it also became a need to wellbeing, health promotion, stress reduction and obesity combating (Tharrett & Peterson, 2006). Other reasons are added, which are related to harmony, body cult, aesthetics, ageing delay and emotional rebalance. Gyms and Health Clubs (GHC) have tried to understand their consumers so as to gain better members (Green, 2005) - those who will not dropout – membership renewal. However, there are limits which required further research. Considering the dimension of the fitness marketing in Portugal [in 2005 there were 1100 GHC for 480 000 members, with 4,8% average of participation (European Market Report, 2005)], the present study aims to find out to what extent the perception that the members have from GHC contributes to the intention to renew, through specific variables of positioning. Investigate what the member perceives and how this influences his behaviour.

More detailed explanation and discussion of specific points of his philosophy will be offered where they are first needed in later chapters, where these basic themes will be used to formulate frameworks for understanding research and practice in several areas of IS. So the reader should not feel required to absorb reams of philosophy before addressing IS issues.Request access from your librarian to read this chapter's full text.
Thin Film Transistor Gas Sensors Incorporating High-Mobility Diketopyrrolopyrole-Based Polymeric Semiconductor Doped with Graphene Oxide

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

In this work, we fabricated a diketopyrrolopyrole-based donor-acceptor copolymer composite film. This is a high-mobility semiconductor component with a functionalized-graphene-oxide (GO) gas-adsorbing dopant, used as an active layer in gas-sensing organic-field-effect transistor (OFET) devices. The GO content of the composite film was carefully controlled so that the crystalline orientation of the semiconducting polymer could be conserved, without compromising its gas-adsorbing ability. The resulting optimized device exhibited high mobility (>1 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1)) and revealed sensitive response during programmed exposure to various polar organic molecules (i.e., ethanol, acetone, and acetonitrile). This can be attributed to the high mobility of polymeric semiconductors, and also to their high surface-to-volume ratio of GO. The operating mechanism of the gas sensing GO-OFET is fully discussed in conjunction with charge-carrier trap theory. It was found that each transistor parameter (e.g., mobility, threshold voltage), responds independently to each gas molecule, which enables high selectivity of GO-OFETs for various gases. Furthermore, we also demonstrated practical GO-OFET devices that operated at low voltage (<1.5 V), and which successfully responded to gas exposure.
Effect of Ethnochemistry Practices on Secondary School Students’ Attitude Towards Chemistry

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The main purpose of the study was to find out the effect of ethnochemistry practices on secondary school students’ attitude towards Chemistry. The design of the study was pre-test post-test control group quasi-experimental design. Two grade 11 intact classes were assigned into experimental and control groups randomly. The total sample size comprised 113 students. To assess attitude of the student towards Chemistry, a chemistry attitude questionnaire was used. An independent samples t-test at an alpha (α) = .05 was conducted to analyze the results of the pre-test and post-test scores. There was a statistically significant difference in the post-test attitude scores for control (M=74.71, SD=13.90) and experimental (M=83.36, S=14.68) groups; t (111) = -3.22, p = 0.002. Therefore, incorporating ethnochemistry practices in teaching chemistry was found to have a positive effect on enhancing secondary school students’ attitude towards Chemistry.

How rare are multiple eigenvalues?

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Let A(q) be a differentiable family of self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space H, indexed by a parameter q that belongs to a separable Banach manifold X. Assume that the spectrum of each operator A(q) is discrete, of finite multiplicity, and with no finite accumulation points. We introduce a new concept of codimension in infinite-dimensional space and then prove that under an appropriate transversality condition, related to the strong Arnold hypothesis, the members of the family A(q) having multiple eigenvalues form a set of codimension at least 2. Using this, we show that a generic member of the family A(q) has a simple spectrum (i.e., no repeated eigenvalues) and that any two values q1 and q2 of the parameter can be connected by an analytic curve γ in X such that A(q) has a simple spectrum for all q in the interior of γ. We then apply these results in two cases of physical interest: to the Laplace operator with the domain as parameter and to the Schrödinger operator with a symmetric potential as parameter. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A Case of Ovarian Endodermal Sinus Tumour with Recurrence of a Large Benign Teratoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

A 14 year old girl was operated for a left side ovarian tumour (weight: 1900 g). Histological examination: endodermal sinus tumour, combined with embryonal carcinoma and dysgerminoma. Serum‐alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) was highly elevated (2630 μg/l), and serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was slightly elevated (100 IU/l), but 2 1/2 months after operation the AFP concentration was less than 20 μg/l, and hCG less than 15 IU/l. After 2 years of intermittent treatment with combination chemotherapy (VAMBLE) the patient developed a left side abdominal tumour (weight: 4600 g). Histological examination: Benign teratoma. There was no sign of recurrence of the malignant disease, and serum AFP and hCG are still normal.
The rise and fall of repetitive behaviours in a community sample of infants and toddlers

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This thesis examines motor stereotypies and repetitive actions with objects. These repetitive behaviours are an early diagnostic feature of autism. To date, no studies have systematically examined repetitive behaviours in a community sample of children aged 6 to 36 months, when behavioural signs of autism begin to emerge and the age at which motor and socio-communication skills are achieved. In this thesis, repetitive behaviours were assessed within the context of two studies, the First Friends and the Cardiff Child Development Study. \nFirstly, the Repetitive Behaviours Coding Scheme was developed; it is the first scheme developed from narrative records of behaviours that accurately represent the range of repetitive behaviours commonly seen in infants and toddlers (Chapter 2). \nRepetitive behaviours were measured during 6- and 12-month-olds’ object exploration (Chapter 4); they were ubiquitous at 12 months and there was a significant increase in the use of the repetition from early to late infancy. The investigation extended to examining the association between repetition and developmental milestones. Frequent use of motor stereotypies but not repetitive actions with objects characterised infants who were more immature in their locomotor development (Chapter 5). Infants who engaged in more repetition were no worse at nonverbal communication, as measured by joint attention. \nI examined the decline in repetitive behaviours by conducting longitudinal assessments and found a significant decrease in the frequency of repetition from infancy to toddlerhood (Chapter 6). I found that toddlers who still engage in repetitive behaviours in their third year did not have poorer inhibitory control nor have higher ratings of ADHD symptoms but had better socio-communicative skills (Chapter 7). \nThese findings offer a developmental framework to assess the function of repetitive behaviours; repetitive behaviours characterise children who are less motorically mature but they are not associated with a deficit in communicative abilities or social competence.
Israeli Politics and the West Bank

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Half a decade after the Six-Day War the Israeli government has made no decision about the future of the West Bank. The elections held in the West Bank's towns in early 1972, but under Jordanian law, were one example of the Jerusalem cabinet's inability to come to any decision and its determination to postpone decision for as long as possible. This determination reflects the complexity of the problem per se and the deep divisions within the Israeli polity on this subject. We will focus on the internal Israeli aspect.
Economic Impacts of Florida-s Agricultural and Natural Resource Industries

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The state of Florida has a large complex of agricultural and natural resource industries which produce a wide array of food, fiber and mineral products, and associated services. Florida's subtropical climate and abundant water resources provide a comparative advantage for production of high-valued products such as citrus, sugar, vegetables, and ornamental plants. The state also is a leading producer of forest products, seafood, livestock and animal products, and phosphatic fertilizers. For many of these commodities, production is closely integrated with manufacturing and service activities. This report reviews the historical economic trends in Florida's agricultural and natural resource sectors and estimates their total economic impact using the IMPLAN input-output modeling system. Direct impacts of the agricultural and natural resource industries in 1997 included $31.4 billion (8) in industry output (sales), $18.28 in exports from the state, $12.38 in total value added, and 314, 000 jobs. The direct employment and value added represented 3.9 percent and 3.3 percent of the entire Florida economy, respectively. Total impacts, reflecting the multiplier effects of exports, local final demand, intermediate demand of other industries, and personal consumption expenditures of industry employees, were estimated at $49.28 in industry output, $23.88 in valueadded, and 544, 000 jobs. Results are detailed for 102 individual industry sectors and 11 major industry groups including fruits and vegetables, sugar and confectionary products, field crops, dairy products, livestock and meat products, forest products, seafood products, other food and tobacco products, ornamental plants and landscape services, agricultural inputs and services, and mining.
Omega‐3 fatty acid therapy reduces triglycerides and interleukin‐6 in hypertriglyeridemic HIV patients

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objectives Cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis are common in HIV ‐infected patients and residual systemic inflammation is thought to contribute to both of these disorders. We performed a randomized placebo‐controlled trial of omega‐3‐acid ( O3A ) ethyl esters in HIV ‐infected patients with hypertriglyceridaemia, hypothesizing that O3A would decrease serum levels of triglycerides, markers of systemic inflammation, and markers of bone turnover. Methods HIV ‐infected patients ( n = 48 recruited at three sites) with CD4 count >200 cells/μL, suppressed viral load, and triglycerides >200 mg/dL were randomized to placebo or 3.6 g/d of O3A . Fasting lipid profiles and markers of inflammation and bone turnover were assessed at baseline and after 8 weeks of treatment. Results Baseline HIV status, lipid profile, bone metabolism and cardiovascular risk factors were similar between the groups. Inflammatory markers were similar between the treatment groups at baseline, except for interleukin ( IL )‐6 and tumour necrosis factor ( TNF )‐α, which were higher in the O3A group. The concentration of triglycerides in patients receiving O3A decreased by a median (interquartile range ( IQR )) of −34 (−149, 9.5) mg/dL vs. a median increase of 46.5 (−51, 123) mg/dL in the placebo group ( P = 0.01). The median percentage change in IL ‐6 was greater in the O3A group compared with the placebo group [−39% (−63, 12%) vs. 29% (10, 177%), respectively; P = 0.006]. Similar results were observed for TNF ‐α, but not other inflammatory or bone turnover markers. Conclusions O3A ethyl esters decreased the concentrations of triglycerides, IL ‐6 and TNF ‐α in patients with well‐controlled HIV infection and hypertriglyceridaemia. Larger studies are required to confirm these findings and investigate their clinical significance.
Magnetic flux control in an urban distribution network based on load optimisation

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper proposes a control method for eliminating direct current (DC) flux from the isolation transformer of a customer service device to avoid magnetic saturation. The method is characterised by injecting zero compensation voltage during a designed time. The period during which no compensation voltage is injected is minimised by adjusting the normal compensation time in the initial stage. For a customer service device, such as a dynamic voltage restorer, the reverse turn-off voltage will introduce extra initial flux. The calculation process based on a trigonometric function also takes into account the effects of the initial flux. The experimental results verify the proposed method to prevent DC flux to the isolation transformer.
Criminal justice volunteerism : an empirical evaluation of the job satisfaction of correctional volunteers in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The primary focus of this study is the analysis of the job facet satisfaction of volunteers in correctional service. Secondarily, the relationship of the likelihood of victimization to the fear of crime is examined. This study comprises 202 respondents, of which 190 respondents indicate through the survey instrument that they are satisfied with their volunteer job, 9 respondents are undecided, and 3 respondents indicate they are dissatisfied with their volunteer job. Although the majority of volunteers report being satisfied with their volunteer job, regression analysis reveals that reported levels of job satisfaction decrease as length of volunteer service increases. In fact, the highest levels of job satisfaction are reported by volunteers who have been in volunteer service for no longer than a year. As the length of the volunteer commitment increases beyond two years, the lowest levels of job satisfaction are identified. Through the regression analysis of twelve data set subsets, the facets sense of accomplishment and approval of supervisor emerge most frequently as the strongest predictors of volunteer job satisfaction. In the crosstabulation analysis pertaining to fear of crime and the likelihood of victimization, an overwhelming majority of volunteers concede various types of victimization are possible as a result of their work-related interaction with offenders. Despite this concession, the majority of volunteers do not fear being victimized as a result of their work-related interaction with offenders.
535. Comparison of Outcomes in Patients Positive for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Infection After Monoclonal Antibody Therapy (MAT) with Bamlamivimab or Casirivimab-Imdevimab

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Limited options currently exist for treatment of patients diagnosed with symptomatic coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Monoclonal antibody therapy (MAT) has been investigated as a therapeutic option for symptomatic COVID-19 patients in the outpatient setting at high-risk for progression to severe disease based on emergency use authorization (EUA) criteria. No published studies have compared outcomes for patients treated with different MAT for COVID-19. Methods This was a single-center, retrospective cohort study at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center to compare COVID-19-related emergency room (ER) visits, admissions, and mortality at 30 days after MAT infusion for adult patients with symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 between November 16, 2020 and February 2, 2021 who received bamlanivimab versus those who received casirivimab-imdevimab. Statistical analysis used logistic regression analysis to determine the odds ratio (OR) to evaluate the relationship between patient characteristics, MAT, and outcomes. Results The cohort included 943 patients with SARS-CoV-2 who received MAT, including 658 patients who received bamlanivimab and 285 who received casirivimab-imdevimab. Outcome results between patients who received bamlanivimab and casirivimab-imdevimab showed no statistically significant difference seen in the number of COVID-19 related ER visits (3.2% vs 3.5%, p = 0.80), hospital admissions (4.6% vs 2.8%, p = 0.21), or mortality (0.5% vs 0.7%, p = 0.63). Multivariate analysis showed no statistically significant difference in outcomes between the groups when accounting for potential confounders. As reflected in the Table, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), gender, and asthma were associated with increased COVID-19 related ER visit within 30 days of infusion and age, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, CLL, and lupus were associated with increased risk for COVID-19 related admission within 30 days of infusion. Age and obesity with body mass index greater than 35 mg/kg2 were associated with increased risk for COVID-19 related mortality at 30 days. Conclusion COVID-19 related outcomes were similar when comparing patients with COVID-19 treated with bamlanivimab versus those treated with casirivimab-imdevimab.

Medical Research by the Medical Colleges in India

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: Research conducted in medical colleges in India is often considered to be of poor quality. The study was done to assess the cause for such occurrence. Materials and Methods: Papers published in indexed journals between 1985 to 2017 were reviewed and the data was synthesized. Results: Poor infrastructure, heavy patient load, restricted number of faculties who had limited exposure to research methodologies, private practice, lack of incentive to do good quality research, poor mentoring, lack of research tradition, research fund, ancillary infrastructures, and copy cat research were found to be some of the reasons. Discussions and Solutions: Teachers education, provision of better infrastructure and funding, short term fellowships at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, proper assessment for promotion of teachers, training in research methodology, multicentric research, R & D research bases in medical colleges, looking for solutions for day-to-day challenges through operational and translational mode are some of the solutions. Training from undergraduate levels on elements of research needed to be encouraged.
