Spatial Agglomeration Characteristics and Impact Factors of the Cultural and Creative Industries in Harbin

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The cultural and creative industries have garnered widespread attention as an important vehicle for promoting the transformation and upgrading of urban industrial structures. In this investigation, we take Harbin—a city in China with a strong industrial legacy—as a case study. Through kernel density analysis and the DBSCAN clustering algorithm, we identify and analyze the spatial distribution and spatiotemporal evolution patterns of 157 clusters of cultural and creative industries in Harbin. We construct a Geographic Weighted Regression (GWR) model using 20 indicators from three categories (i.e., social, cultural, and economic) to analyze the factors impacting the agglomeration of cultural and creative industries in Harbin. Our findings reveal that the cultural and creative industries exhibit an agglomeration pattern. A large-scale agglomeration area for large enterprises has formed in the city center, while scattered, small-scale agglomeration zones for emerging small enterprises have formed in newly developed areas on the urban periphery. The GWR analysis indicates that economic factors have the most significant impact on the agglomeration of cultural and creative industries; however, night-time economic facilities show a negative correlation. Among social factors, the convenience of public transportation and new energy transportation infrastructure have a significant impact on industrial agglomeration. Regarding cultural factors, cultural and sports facilities have the greatest influence, while public information kiosks and public arts education facilities exhibit spatial variability. These findings provide a scientific basis for policy formulation and contribute to promoting the healthy development of cultural and creative industries.
Rape, Sexual Violence and Transitional Justice Challenges: Lessons from Bosnia Herzegovina

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

It is estimated that 20,000 people were subjected to rape and other forms of sexual violence during the 1992–1995 Bosnian war. Today, these men and women have been largely forgotten. Where are they now? To what extent do their experiences continue to affect and influence their lives, and the lives of those around them? What are the principal problems that these individuals face? Such questions remain largely unanswered. More broadly, the long-term consequences of conflict-related rape and sexual violence are often overlooked. Based on extensive interviews with male and female survivors from all ethnic groups in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH), this interdisciplinary book addresses a critical gap in the current literature on rape and sexual violence in conflict situations. In so doing, it uniquely situates and explores the legacy of these crimes within a transitional justice framework. Demonstrating that transitional justice processes in BiH have neglected the long-term effects of rape and sexual violence, it develops and operationalizes a new holistic approach to transitional justice that is based on an expanded conception of ‘legacy’ and has a wider application beyond BiH.
'Born to fight' : the university experiences of the daughters of single mothers who are first-generation students in the United Kingdom

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This thesis explores the university experiences of the daughters of single mothers who are first-generation students in the United Kingdom. Data was collected during spring and summer of 2013. Participants were recruited through flyers, email, and social networking sites. Participants were sought who met the following criteria: they considered themselves to have been primarily raised by their mother (or their mother raised them alone for about five years or more during their childhood); they were current or recent undergraduate university students at any university in the UK, any mode of study (full or part time), and any age (traditional age or mature students); and they were first-generation students (the first in their family to attend university, which includes students whose siblings might have gone to university). A preliminary 30-question, online questionnaire was completed by 110 respondents. Among the survey respondents, 26 participated in qualitative, semi- structured interviews. After the interview, participants were encouraged to engage in reflective writing. Data was explored through a thematic, theoretical, and autoethnographical analysis. This research examines intersectionalities of gender, socio-economic class, race, and family status as they shape the students’ identities and their university experiences. The theoretical and conceptual frameworks upon which this study is built include feminist theory, intersectionality theory, and the concept of social exclusion. The findings from this study contribute to the existing literature within the area of widening participation and social identities and illuminate the ways that single mother families are constructed by the media, by politicians, and in society. Additionally, this study bridges the gap between the existing literature on the experience of single mother families and the existing literature on the experiences of students in higher education, providing a deeper understanding of access, participation, and inclusion of this specific population of students as yet unexplored within existing research.
Managing the grand challenges of a paradox society: Toward a paradox management theory of reflexive modernization

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The organizational literature offers important insights into innovative responses to grand challenges that create synergies between growth goals and managing grand challenges. However, organizational theory and practice share taken-for-granted assumptions such as the belief in inexhaustible growth and technology-based problem solving. These assumptions may have been one factor that led to the grand challenges of current times as unintended consequences and may produce new ones. Applying paradox theory and theory of reflexive modernization to the organizational literature on grand challenges, we reflect on taken-for-granted assumptions of theory and practice and develop a model of managing the grand challenges of a paradox society. The model explains how organizational and societal responses to grand challenges enact a new paradoxical dynamic between intended positive and unintended negative consequences that appear at the macro level. The model advances the understanding of the dark side of strategic paradoxes, dynamics of knotted paradoxes, unintended consequences, and taken-for-granted assumptions of responses to grand challenges. We suggest a complementary direction to current research on grand challenge.
Cellular hypersensitivity to a synthetic dodecapeptide derived from human adenovirus 12 which resembles a sequence of A-gliadin in patients with coeliac disease.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The human intestinal adenovirus serotype 12 (Ad12) may be implicated in the pathogenesis of coeliac disease by virtue of immunological cross reactivity between epitopes shared by its early region E1b protein and A-gliadin. In the present study a synthetic dodecapeptide from the corresponding viral epitope (Ad12E1b, residues 384-395) was tested for its effect on peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 22 treated and eight untreated patients with coeliac disease, 22 healthy subjects, 11 patients with ulcerative colitis, and 11 patients with Crohn's disease by an indirect leucocyte migration inhibition assay. In addition, the effect of both the viral and the gliadin synthetic peptides was studied by proliferation and migration assays simultaneously performed in an unselected subgroup of 12 treated coeliac patients and 12 healthy subjects of the study. Coeliac patients with untreated disease showed no response to the viral peptide compared with treated patients (p greater than 0.1). Treated coeliac patients showed a significantly different response from healthy control subjects and control patients with disease (p less than 0.001) which was dependent on the concentration of the viral peptide. In the subgroup of the treated coeliac patients (n = 12) there was a significant correlation between the responses in the migration and the proliferation assay using either the viral (p less than 0.02) or the gliadin (p less than 0.005) peptide at the highest concentration (33.3 micrograms/ml). Furthermore, the responses obtained using viral peptide correlated significantly with the responses obtained with gliadin peptide in both the migration (p less than 0.001) and the proliferation (p less than 0.001) assays. These results show that in coeliac patients there is pronounced cross reactivity at the level of T cell recognition between synthetic peptides derived from the Ad12 and A-gliadin. This antigenic cross reactivity may be involved in the pathogenesis of coeliac disease.

Machine Learning-Based Analysis of BMI, Tobacco Use and Oral Health Outcomes Among Chennai Construction Workers: Insights for Targeted Interventions

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background: This study investigates the complex relationship between Body Mass Index (BMI), tobacco consumption and oral health status among construction workers in Chennai, India. Using a neural network model, the study aims to identify significant predictors of oral health outcomes. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 812 construction workers in Chennai. Data on BMI, tobacco usage patterns and oral health indicators such as the Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S), Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index, Gingival Index and loss of attachment (LOA) were collected. A pretested, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to gather demographic and behavioral information. BMI was calculated using participants' height and weight. Data were analyzed using SPSS software, with a neural network model employed to identify complex interactions among variables. Results: The neural network analysis revealed significant positive correlations between BMI and oral health indicators such as DMFT, Gingival Index and missing teeth. Additionally, a negative correlation was identified between BMI and tooth brushing frequency. Notably, education emerged as the most influential predictor, followed by age, gender, BMI and tobacco consumption. The neural network model demonstrated superior predictive accuracy of 87%, outperforming traditional statistical methods in identifying complex, non-linear relationships. Conclusion: The study highlights the intricate interplay between BMI, tobacco use and oral health outcomes, underscoring the need for targeted interventions. Emphasis should be placed on improving nutrition, promoting tobacco cessation and enhancing oral health awareness among construction workers. The findings demonstrate the value of machine learning in public health research and emphasize the need for future longitudinal studies to establish causal links and explore additional factors such as occupational stress, dietary patterns and healthcare access.
Quantum Topology Optimization via Quantum Annealing

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We present a quantum annealing-based solution method for topology optimization (TO). In particular, we consider TO in a more general setting, i.e., applied to structures of continuum domains where designs are represented as distributed functions, referred to as continuum TO problems. According to the problem's properties and structure, we formulate appropriate subproblems that can be solved on an annealing-based quantum computer. The methodology established can effectively tackle continuum TO problems formulated as mixed-integer nonlinear programs. To maintain the resulting subproblems small enough to be solved on quantum computers currently accessible with small numbers of qubits and limited connectivity, we further develop a splitting approach that splits the problem into two parts: the first part can be efficiently solved on classical computers, and the second part with a reduced number of variables is solved on a quantum computer. By such, a practical continuum TO problem of varying scales can be handled on the D-Wave quantum annealer. More specifically, we concern the minimum compliance, a canonical TO problem that seeks an optimal distribution of materials to minimize the compliance with desired material usage. The superior performance of the developed methodology is assessed and compared with the state-of-the-art heuristic classical methods, in terms of both solution quality and computational efficiency. The present work hence provides a promising new avenue of applying quantum computing to practical designs of topology for various applications.
Attitudes Towards and Satisfaction with Credit Unions in Alberta. A Regression and Scale Analysis.

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Credit unions have played an important historical role in the Canadian economy. However, recent changes in the financial, agricultural and agri-food industry are posing great challenges to Credit unions in Western Canada. Much attention has been given to the impact of competitive rates and the environment offered by banks on credit union performance to the neglect of issues relating to member satisfaction and commitment which may be adding to other problems in the credit union sector. Studies by Feinberg (2001), Sibbald, et al (1999), Loser et. al (1999) , Fried, et. al (1999), Karels and McClatchey (1999) and Tokle, and Tokle (2001) among others have identified key issues relating to the competitive financial roles of credit unions in small financial services, in comparative analysis studies as well as merger related issues. However many of these studies have focused on the financial aspects of credit unions, and have not dealt with broader issues of whether or not the public understands the nature of credit unions, why people stop or intend to continue being members of credit unions. A mailed questionnaire, designed to elicit understanding of and attitudes towards credit unions was sent out to 1500 Alberta residents. In spite of the fact that the survey was complex with no reminder notice sent, the response rate was 12%. Analysis was conducted with a series of scale and logit regression analyses based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TpB) (Ajzen and Fishbein 1975, 1980 and Ajzen (2001) to elicit respondents´ beliefs, satisfaction and attitudes towards credit unions, and to measure the factors affecting their intention to patronize credit unions. Results indicate 78% of respondents were familiar with and understood the concept of credit unions. The majority (58%) was male, and 71% were aged 45 or older. Respondents who are active members of a credit union generally held positive attitudes towards their credit unions, and 89% rated their credit unions as performing well under a set of six performance categories. Analysis from the logit models found credit unions involvement with the local community and customer service to be the major reasons for credit union patronage. Elicitation of respondents´ intentions to patronize a credit union from the TpB analysis show that among the three attributes (attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control), respondents´ subjective norm (siblings influence) and perceived behavioral control significantly explained patronization intentions. Results suggest that a 22 percentage of the public is unaware of credit unions, a further 30 percentage was once and is no longer a member of a credit union. For the 58% of the population that remain committed to credit union, there are still significant issues around member involvement in decision making, communication and provision of education/training to them.
Biodegradable poly(urethane-urea-amide): Synthesis, characterization and mechanical studies

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Biodegradable polyurethane with excellent mechanical property finds a lot of applications in the biomedical field. In this study, multi block copolymer poly(urethane-urea-amide) (PUUA) is prepared using polyethylene oxide, 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate and diamide (N 1 , N 4 -bis(6-aminohexyl)benzene-1,4-dicarboxamide (6T6) or N 1 , N 6 -bis(6-aminohexyl)hexanediamide (6A6)) by a method of solution/melt polymerization techniques. The polymer formation is confirmed by the 1 H NMR spectroscopic method. Other techniques such as viscosity measurements, FT-IR, DSC, TGA, and biodegradability are used to characterize the synthesized copolymers. The hard segment crystallinity is an analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy, it revealed that the 6T6 based polymer showed 70% of crystallinity. The synthesized copolymer shows three transitions in the DSC curve. The melting enthalpy of the hard segment depends on the amide unit employed in the polymerization process. These materials are fast crystallizing due to low under cooling value. This material has a very high thermal stability and stable up to 400°C. Tensile test confirms the strain induced crystallization of hard segment occurred in the PUUA. The biodegradability of the polymer depends on the pH and chain extenders. This type of materials can be a good candidate for tissue engineering application.

Identification of Multiple Male Sterile Allele in Chinese Cabbage

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The objective of this experiment was to investigate the characteristic distribution of nuclear sterile multiple allele genes of Chinese cabbage in 3 ecotype cabbage lines.A dominant male sterile Chinese cabbage MsMs was applied as test cross parent to make hybridizations with 68 male fertile cabbage lines belonging to Straight-tubbish,Ovate,or Level-head ecotypes.Through calculating the fertility segregation ratio of the progenies,and identifying the genotype of each male fertile lines,the gene and genotype frequency of the nuclear sterile multiple allele locus were estimated in the three ecotypes.The results showed that ac-counting for 71.43% of the total genotype,the purified recessive genotype msms was superior to others in Straight-tubbish eco-type;the frequency of the male fertile gene ms and restore gene Msf were 76.79% and 23.21% respectively in Straight-tubbish ecotype.MsfMsf,Msfms and msms were 42.42%,39.40% and 18.18% respectively in Ovate ecotype;the frequency of the restore gene Msf and fertile gene ms were 62.12% and 37.88% respectively in Ovate-cabbage ecotype.Accounting for 57.14% of the to-tal genotype,the purified recessive genotype msms was superior to others in level-head ecotype;the frequency of restore gene Msf and fertile gene ms 33.33% and 66.67% respectively in Level-head ecotype.The ms gene was superior to others at nuclear sterile multiple allele locus in Straight-tubbish ecotype and level-head ecotype,and Msf was superior to others at nuclear sterile multiple allele locus in Ovate ecotype.
Risk Measures, Measures for Insolvency Risk and Economical Capital Allocation

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

In the present paper we consider several measures Ior the risk that is present in all insurance environment. We look for desirable properties for two types of risk measures, the ones reflecting both negative and positive results, and the measures for insolvency risks dealing with aspects of ruin, as well as their relation to the allocation of economic capita1 to different business lines or to the different subcompanies constituting a financial conglomerate. The main problem for both types of measurements is that the dependence structure that exists between the different units involved is unknown.
4H-SiC(0001) Epilayer Growth and Electrical Property of Schottky Diode

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

A sublimation epitaxial method, referred to as the Closed Space Technique (CST) was adopted to produce thick SiC epitaxial layers for power device applications. We aimed to systematically investigate the dependence of SiC epilayer quality and growth rate during the sublimation growth using the CST method on various process parameters such as the growth temperature and working pressure. The etched surface of a SiC epitaxial layer grown with low growth rate $(30{\mu}m/h)$ exhibited low etch pit density (EPD) of ${\sim}2000/cm^2$ and a low micropipe density (MPD) of $2/cm^2$. The etched surface of a SiC epitaxial layer grown with high growth rate (above $100{\mu}m/h$) contained a high EPD of ${\sim}3500/cm^2$ and a high MPD of ${\sim}500/cm^2$, which indicates that high growth rate aids the formation of dislocations and micropipes in the epitaxial layer. We also investigated the Schottky barrier diode (SBD) characteristics including a carrier density and depletion layer for Ni/SiC structure and finally proposed a MESFET device fabricated by using selective epilayer process.
Restriction on the Rights of Secured Creditors in Bankruptcy Proceedings

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The enactment of Law No. 37/2004 upon Bankruptcy and Suspension of Payment (UUK-PKPU) as the “lex specialist” of the Collateral Law and Civil law has caused several legal problems to the creditors holding collateral over assets of their debtors, commonly known as secured creditors, in terms of management and settlement on bankruptcy estate. Such problems included: First, there is a normative conflict between Bankruptcy law and collateral law, in particular regarding to the principle of executorial and the principle of preference right. Second, there is a restriction on the right of secured creditors in terms of management and settlement on bankruptcy estate.
