System modelling of telecom service sector supply chain: a SAP-LAP analysis

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

By the adoption of an appropriate change management scheme, organisations can improve their core competency. In that direction, SAP-LAP has proved itself as an ideal tool. Currently, rapid developments have been witnessed in telecom logistics. This article deals with a case study carried out in an Indian telecom service sector. The various situations encountered by the organisation were considered for study. They were analysed by SAP-LAP technique followed by an actor-process matrix. The matrix was quantified using normal scores, which were then converted to prioritised scores. This gave the locations having greater intensity led to potential for a change management application. Organisations need to learn from previous situations. By locating the best key result area, it can be recommended to concentrate there and give prime considerations to such situations and how actors need to behave and how process need to be scheduled under similar situations.
Design of LNG storage and feeding system for an open type ferry

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Liquefying natural gas by cooling it down to −163°C results to a considerable reduction of its volume, which makes it ideal for transportation (greater fuel density, lower storage weight). Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has been transported for many years by using LNG carriers. In recent years, LNG infrastructure has developed to use LNG as a fuel for propulsion and auxiliary power generation also for other ship types, like Ro-Ro and smaller RO-PAX ferries.
Assessment of lease financing in Ethiopia among DBE, ACGFC and OCGFC.

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The main target of the study is to assess the current situation of lease financing by focusing on some basic points like: internal factors and external factors that affect lease financing, nature and benefit of lease financing and future prospects. Lease financing is an alternative means and sophisticated mechanism to fill gaps of finance accessing. Even though in Ethiopia it is at infant stage leasing is very important for developing countries in which business environment is weak. The study uses both qualitative and quantitative method. Both primary and secondary data were used as evidence for the study. In identifying the respondents from the study population a mix of both random and purposive sampling were adopted. Three lease providing companies DBE, ACGFC and OCGFC were used to take 65 sample respondents. The collected were analyzed through descriptive statistics that involves tables, frequency distribution and percentage. In the study, basic challenges like: lack of leasing expertise in the market; existence of inadequate supply chain linkages, existence of limited domestic suppliers; and absence of specialized leasing training center, lack of stakeholder integration, shortage of hard currencies and re-possession, absence of adequate local manufacturers, long lease processing time, awareness gap and rental problem were identified. Despite these challenges, the study identified that leasing has high market potential for growth in Ethiopia due to government support, economic growth and industry focus of the country. Conclusion and recommendation is given based on the questionnaire and interview results. The study concludes that leasing is best opportunity to get finance without collateral and credit history. And also the study recommends lease sector should create strong bond with different stakeholders, promote local manufacturing create an enabling environment and the general awareness of leasing to create vibrant lease ecosystem.
Physicochemical Properties of Extracts from Different Parts of Camellia sinensis

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Background: There are various physiologically active substances in Camellia sinensis leaves, and much research has been conducted on it, however, the properties of other parts such as branch, flower, seed, and root are still unknown. Therefore, in this study, we checked the physicochemical properties of each part of C. sinensis.BRMethods and Results: In this study, we prepared a 70% ethyl alcohol extract of each part of C. sinensis and determined their yield, total polyphenol and total flavonoid contents, antioxidant activity, components [using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)], and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The yield was highest in the flower extract, and the total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity tended to be high in the order of leaf, root, branch, flower, and seed. Analysis of the catechin compounds using HPLC, confirmed that epigallocatechin (EGC) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were mostly present in the leaf, but epicatechin (EC), gallocatechin gallate (GCG), and gallocatechin (GC) were present in varying concentrations in each part. The inhibitory activity of α-glucosidase was higher than that of acarbose, a hypoglycemic agent, in all parts except the seed, which showed no activity. Furthermore, significantly higher α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was confirmed in the root.BRConclusions: Apart from the leaves, which have been widely used and studied in the industry, the C. sinensis root and brances showed high activity. In particular, the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity was very high, confirming the possibility of using the roots and brances discarded by the tea leaf industry as an antidiabetic material.

Development of semi-conductive carbon nanotubes (CNTs) thin-film transistors into biosensors.

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

It is notable that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are of great interest to scientists in various fields of research for their uncanny ability to possess high thermal conductivity, therefore maintaining their structure when exposed to high temperature without taking any form of physical damage, as well as their unique mechanic properties that can withstand harsh biological conditions, which suggest great potential to be used in numerous bio applications.
Assessment of propofol anesthesia in the rabbit

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The growing interests in propofol as an intravenous anesthetic agent and in particular to its use in rabbits were the motivation for this work. The rabbit is the third most common pet, and is also used as a biomedical research model in a wide range of science branches such as pharmacology, toxicology, anesthesiology and surgery. The main goal of this study was to explore the effects of Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol in rabbits. Different infusion rates were administrated to obtain different anesthetic depths. Blood samples were collect before, during and after anesthesia, in previously determined moments. Propofol and propofol non-conjugated metabolites concentrations were determined in the collected blood serum by Gas Chromatography/ Ion Trap-Mass Spectrometry (GC/IT-MS). This information allowed the study of the drug pharmacodynamic profile in the rabbit, and to understand the effects of propofol on the cardio-respiratory system, clinical signs of anesthetic depth and electroencephalogram (EEG). Furthermore, the correlation between these variables and non-conjugated propofol metabolites plasma concentrations also help to understand the pharmacodynamic characterization of the drug. This study will also aid the anesthetists to better understand the rabbit anesthesia with propofol and provides important information for toxicology studies when this drug is used. The rabbits shares many clinical signs of Propofol Infusion Syndrome (PRIS) observed in humans. The analyses of the free propofol metabolites (2,6-diisopropyl-1,4-quinone and 2,6-diisopropyl-1,4-quinol) done in these studies, allowed to understand how they interact in the rabbit. These are important components to be analyzed more in depth in future studies. These studies showed great potential for translation studies between rabbits and humans.
Single Atoms of Iron on MoS2 Nanosheets for N2 Electroreduction into Ammonia

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Efforts have been devoted to achieving a highly efficient artificial synthesis of ammonia (NH 3 ). Reported herein is a novel Fe‐MoS 2 catalyst with Fe atomically dispersed onto MoS 2 nanosheets, imitating natural nitrogenase, to boost N 2 electroreduction into NH 3 at room temperature. The Fe‐MoS 2 nanosheets exhibited a faradic efficiency of 18.8 % with a yield rate of 8.63 μg mg cat. −1 h −1 for NH 3 at −0.3 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode. The mechanism study revealed that the electroreduction of N 2 was promoted and the competing hydrogen evolution reaction was suppressed by decorating the edge sites of S in MoS 2 with the atomically dispersed Fe, resulting in high catalytic performance for the electroreduction of N 2 into NH 3 . This work provides new ideas for the design of catalysts for N 2 electroreduction and strengthens the understanding about N 2 activation over Mo‐based catalysts.
The Effect of Framing and Placement on Linkage Consent

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Numerous surveys link interview data to administrative records, conditional on respondent consent, in order to explore new and innovative research questions. Optimizing the linkage consent rate is a critical step toward realizing the scientific advantages of record linkage and minimizing the risk of linkage consent bias. Linkage consent rates have been shown to be particularly sensitive to certain design features, such as where the consent question is placed in the questionnaire and how the question is framed. However, the interaction of these design features and their relative contributions to the linkage consent rate have never been jointly studied, raising the practical question of which design feature (or combination of features) should be prioritized from a consent rate perspective. We address this knowledge gap by reporting the results of a placement and framing experiment embedded within separate telephone and Web surveys. We find a significant interaction between placement and framing of the linkage consent question on the consent rate. The effect of placement was larger than the effect of framing in both surveys, and the effect of framing was only evident in the Web survey when the consent question was placed at the end of the questionnaire. Both design features had negligible impact on linkage consent bias for a series of administrative variables available for consenters and non-consenters. We conclude this research note with guidance on the optimal administration of the linkage consent question.
Face alignment: improving the accuracy of fast models using domain‐specific unlabelled data and a teacher–student scheme

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Face alignment is a crucial step in multiple face analysis and recognition tasks. The current state‐of‐the‐art is comprised by very slow methods based on deep learning that require computationally heavy inference and very fast methods based on cascades of regressors that lack the ability to cope with complicated cases or extreme poses. The authors show how collecting a small subset of unlabelled domain‐specific data can improve the accuracy of fast‐inference models utilising data annotated by a slower one and a teacher–student architecture. In the proposed solution, they annotate a small subset of facial images belonging to two challenging domains using a slow but more accurate model, and this data is used to incrementally train a fast one. Their results show that by adding as little as a 5% of challenging data, they can reduce the error rate in a specific domain up to 30% without losing any generalisation abilities. This training scheme has applicability in numerous computer vision and engineering problems where computational power and model size are constrained by the application and platform or real‐time operation is a requirement.
Potassium ions and the secretion of insulin by islets of Langerhans incubated in vitro

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

1. A method was devised for the isolation of islets of Langerhans from rabbit pancreas by collagenase digestion in order to study the influx and efflux of K+ in islets during insulin secretion. 2. Glucose-induced insulin release was accompanied by an increased rate of uptake of 42K+ by the islets of Langerhans, though this was not the case for secretion in response to tolbutamide. Ouabain significantly inhibited the uptake of 42K+ by islet tissue. 3. No significant increase in the rate of efflux of 42K+ was demonstrated during active insulin secretion. 4. Slices of rabbit pancreas were incubated in media of different K+ content, and rates of insulin release were determined. Alteration of the K+ concentration of the medium between 3 and 8mm had no effect on the rate of insulin release by pancreas slices. However, decrease of the K+ concentration to 1mm resulted in inhibition of secretion in response to both glucose and to tolbutamide. Conversely, an increase in K+ concentration increased rates of insulin release in response to both these stimuli. 5. It is concluded that, though unphysiological concentrations of K+ may influence the secretion of insulin, fluxes of K+ in the islets do not appear to be important in the initiation of insulin secretion.

The Figure of the “Intellectual” in the Early Reform Period

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The logic behind the fluctuating fortunes of Chinese intellectuals in the early PRC—from hero to scapegoat, prisoner to honored guest—is clarified by examining both the representations of intellectuals in literary and cinematic fictions of the period, and the writing and rewriting of the history of the Anti-Rightist Campaign, an important precursor of the Cultural Revolution. The “revolutionary” intellectual of the 1940s, courted and then spurned by the party, was later refigured as the “patriotic” intellectual of the 1970s and 1980s, whose allegiance was to the ancestral homeland rather than the state. One result of this rethinking of the history of Chinese intellectuals is the emergence of 1957, the beginning of the Anti-Rightist Campaign, as a critical, and tragic, turning point for socialist theory and practice in China and throughout the world.
Outcomes in Older Adults with Multimorbidity Associated with Predominant Provider of Care Specialty

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Objectives To determine whether receiving the predominance of ambulatory visits from a primary care provider compared to a specialty provider is associated with better outcomes in older adults with multi morbidity. Design Observational study using propensity score matching. Setting Medicare fee‐for‐service, 2011–12. Participants Beneficiaries aged 65 and older with multimorbidity. Measurements The independent variable was an indicator for having a specialty (versus primary care) as the predominant provider of care (PPC). Main outcomes were 1‐year mortality, hospitalization, standardized expenditures, and ambulatory visit patterns. RESULTS : Two‐thirds of 3,934,942 beneficiaries with multimorbidity had a primary care provider as their PPC . Individuals with a specialty PPC had more hospitalizations (40.3 more per 1,000) and higher spending ($1,781 more per beneficiary) than those with a primary care PPC , but there was little difference in mortality (0.2% higher) or preventable hospitalizations. Spending differences were largest for professional fees ($769 higher per beneficiary), inpatient stays ($572 higher per beneficiary), and outpatient facilities ($510 higher per beneficiary) (all P < .001). In addition, people with a specialist PPC had lower continuity of care and saw more providers. Conclusions Older adults with multimorbidity with a specialist as their main ambulatory care provider had higher spending and lower continuity of care than those whose PPC was in primary care but similar clinical outcomes.
The structural formation conditions, sources of metals, and morphological types of ore mineralization of the Kirovskoe gold deposit, Amur region, Russia

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

A brief description is given of the history of discovery, exploration, and operation of the Kirovskoye gold deposit and of its geological position and structural conditions of the ore localization. Based on the combined analysis of data of the predecessors and of our own studies, the following has been established: (1) the gold source was represented by a magmatic chamber and its initiating mantle melts; (2) the gold-bearing fluids entered the upper crust from a deep-seated magmatic chamber that had formed the Dzhalindinsky pluton near the surface and a series of its accompanying dikes of variegated composition; the gold ore mineralization formed with some delay from the formation of the differentiates of the magmatic chamber, in paragenetic connection with them; (3) gold was transported by fluids as part of soluble complexes with Cland (OH)in the ligands at deep levels of the hydrothermal system and also as part of hydrosulfide complexes and in solid-phase form at its upper levels; and (4) in areas of sharp decreases in the fluid pressure caused by significant openings of cracks and cavities, the following interrelated phenomena occurred in the hydrothermal system: fluid boiling, its heterogenization, and degassing, which led to its sharp supersaturation with the soluble Au complexes and mass nucleation of nanoparticles of native gold. A hydrophobicity of the surface of the particles facilitated formation of mobile associates "Aucr + gas bubbles", their natural flotation to the upper levels of the hydrothermal system, and accumulation in the interstices of the forming quartz aggregates, as well as in the areas of flattening of the cavities and in the upper peripheries of swells of the vein bodies. Aggregation of the gold nanoparticles and clusters in the accumulations of the associates led to formation of rich accumulations of enlarged free gold in the form of nests, bonanzas, and ore shoots. Plausibility of such a mechanism was experimentally confirmed by us. The gold ore deposit has been estimated as a potentially large ore object promising for discovery of new rich vein bodies and large-volume ore bodies with commercial-grade sulfide-gold-quartz veinlet-disseminated mineralization suitable for underground and open-pit exploitation.
Childhood Studies in France

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article deals with research on childhood and children in the social sciences in France, which has contributed to bringing childhood out of the field of education and psychology—that is to say, roughly what would be called “childhood studies” in English. This expression, however, is not easily translated into French. It is not widely used in France, where the scientific field is not organized by studies but by disciplines. When the expression appears, it is in English in the text, to designate works from the Anglosphere, sometimes with a critical distance. When dealing with “childhood studies in France,” it is essential to keep this in mind and to follow disciplinary frontiers. Sociology and anthropology—two closely related disciplines in France—have arguably played the most important role here. Central here is a current of thought that rose from the year 2000 onward and that in fact considers itself as a French-written version of English childhood studies. Although it intends to be multidisciplinary, this current is centered on sociology and, to a lesser extent, anthropology, so that it is reasonable to refer to it as a “socio-anthropology of childhood.” It has engaged in a dialogue with other subfields, such as the sociology of the family and the anthropology of kinship, the sociology of socialization, Africanist anthropology or Americanist anthropology, and sociology, among others. Its influence is also felt today in other disciplines, especially history, geography, or law and philosophy. However, even as the main ideas from this current were progressively integrated into the social sciences, controversies arose, particularly among sociologists, about the soundness of this field of research. Does childhood, in all its diversity, constitute a coherent research topic? Paradoxically, while scientific work on “childhood” is now subject to some suspicion and tends to become more fragmented, methodological work on children has recently experienced a certain boom, suggesting an evolution of the scientific discourse that may be specific to the French field. Finally, a caveat is in order: in French research on childhood and children, importance was given from the outset to the French language that brings together researchers from France, Belgium, Switzerland, and Quebec among others. The present article focuses on France: it does not pretend to be comprehensive of “Francophone childhood studies.” However, it makes sense to include important contributions to the scientific debate in France originating from other places in the Francosphere.
