Epiphytic Bryophyte Vegetation Of The Samanlı Mountains (Sakarya-Kocaeli-Yalova-Bursa) In Northwest Turkey

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In the present study, epiphytic bryophyte vegetation of the Samanlı Mountains (northwest Turkey) was investigated on the basis of 191 relevés taken from the trunks of trees by the Braun-Blanquet method between 2015 and 2016. Nine epiphytic bryophyte associations and three subassociations were determined as a result of this investigation. Among them, two associations and two subassociations, viz., Neckero - Anomodontetum viticulosi, Neckero - Anomodontetum viticulosi - anomodontetosum viticulosi, Syntrichietum laevipilae, and Syntrichietum laevipilae - orthotrichetosum lyellii, were recorded for the first time in Turkey. In addition, epiphytic bryophyte vegetation was classified and ordinated using multivariate analysis techniques such as two-way indicator species analysis and detrended correspondence analysis. Besides that, the life form and life strategies of the species within syntaxa were analysed. As a result, it is established that while perennial stayers with a high sexual reproductive effort were dominant within the epiphytic bryophyte vegetation comparatively, the most abundant life form was the mat rough type.

The art of forming a partnership in an entrepreneurial world: the Brazilian case

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose This study aims to design and empirically test a model where autonomy affects partnership (PT) and entrepreneurial orientation (EO), which in turn improves competitive aggressiveness (CA), market orientation (MO) and PT; to verify the impact of CA on MO and PT; and to determine to what extent MO mediates the EO–PT relationship. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a quantitative approach to test 101 Brazilian firms from different sectors, analyzed by structural equation modeling using the partial least squares–structural equation modeling. Findings Results show that autonomy improves EO and PT. EO positively affects CA, MO and PT. CA impacts MO positively, and MO mediates the EO–PT relationship, although it reduces the possibility of PT. Research limitations/implications Although 101 firms could be a “small sample,” the authors validated it according to Hair et al. (2009) and Chin et al. (2003). Their first contribution is to extend the works relating to EO and PT by showing the positive effects of autonomy on EO and PT. Second, to show the mediating effect of MO on the EO–PT relationship. Finally, they draw attention to how firms with EO improve CA, MO and PT; and CA boost MO. Thus, to generalize EO research internationally, like in the emergent markets. Originality/value Although EO has attracted significant attention to entrepreneurship research, it is not clear how autonomy impacts a firm's EO and PT, considering the mediating effect of MO on the EO–PT relationship; if EO influences CA and MO, and the impact of CA on MO and PT.
Comparative efficiency of application of different therapeutic schemes for post-contact prevention of HIV infection in health providers

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Aim. Comparative assessment of the efficiency of application of different therapeutic schemes for post-contact prevention (PCP) of HIV infection in health providers. Methods. Medical personnel that had professional contacts with HIV-infected patients (n=44) were given medications for PCP. 19 of them (group 1) used phosphazide, 25 (group 2) combivir (lamivudine + zidovudine) in combination with kaletra for 4 weeks after the contact. Phosphazide (AZT Farma K.B., Russia) was used at a dose of 0.4 g twice daily, other medications in standard doses. The results were evaluated 4 weeks, 3, 6, and 12 months after PCP from the safety of the treatment and the absence of professional HIV infection. Results. The medical personnel showed no signs of HIV infection throughout the entire period of observation. The safety of therapy was confirmed by the absence of myelohepatotoxic effect of the preparations. Combivir therapy caused a 1.8-fold rise in AST activity of within 4 weeks after onset of PCP (p<0,05). Phosphazide produced no such effect. Conclusion. The above results indicate that both schemes of antiretroviral activity are 100% efficient as PCP of HIV infection, but phosphazide has an advantage of higher safety and better tolerability.
Local Economic Development

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Examines the challenges Argentine cities face in improving economic performance by presenting recent initiatives for promoting regional and local economic development. At the national level, the implementation of multiple initiatives with the involvement of several ministries shows promise, but these initiatives do not necessarily integrate or align with Argentina's national urban vision—established in the Strategic Territorial Plan (Plan Estratégico Territorial, PET)—to move toward more regionally balanced economic development. At the local level, Buenos Aires stands out because of its bold steps to improve its competitiveness, but the city needs to further capitalize on its human capital to strengthen its global competitiveness. The top five agglomerations need appropriate local economic development policies and strategies to expand their global reach and reduce the competitiveness gap with metropolitan Buenos Aires. Large cities must promote economic diversification and boost the growth of emerging clusters, while intermediate and small cities can greatly benefit from establishing strong partnerships with the private sector.
Development of a 2d discrete turbulent adjoint solver using automatic differentiation

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper presents an implementation of discrete adjoint solver using an automatic differentiation tool for a two-dimensional Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) finite volume solver. Moreover, automatic differentiation tool is also utilized calculating flux Jacobian required by implicit finite volume solver. The developed RANS adjoint solver is computationally efficient and accurate. In the present implementation, the time required for the calculation of adjoint variables is comparable to the time required for one iteration of the flow solver. The RANS adjoint is verified with a brute force method. Finally, the aerodynamic shape optimization capability of the developed RANS adjoint solver is demonstrated by optimizing a RAE 2822 airfoil in terms of drag at constant lift coefficient.
Technostress and work-family interface in the face of COVID-19-related remote work: the moderator role of goals setting and prioritization skills

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACTDuring the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic, in Italy, a nationwide lockdown required a massive shift to remote work – that is, from workers' houses. The risk of conflict between work and family domains increased due to the collapse of both into private houses and may have been further burdened due to no training being issued to help workers adjust to these changes in their work activities, producing higher rates of technostress. This study deepens the impact of technostress creators on the conflicts between work and family domains and the role of workers' goal setting and prioritization skills as moderators easing these relationships. Data were gathered from 375 remote workers during the Italian nationwide lockdown using an online questionnaire. Results show that higher scores in technostress creators positively associate with both work-to-family and family-to-work conflicts and the former relationship becomes stronger as workers' planning skills increase. They highlight the need to consider the pitfalls of remote work, as it can also have detrimental effects on workers' family and relational life, and to find a better balance between work and family domains from a systemic perspective.KEYWORDS: Technostressremote workwork-to-family conflictfamily-to-work conflictgoal setting skillsCOVID-19lockdown Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon request.
Maximal Supergravity from IIB Flux Compactifications

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Using a recently proposed group-theoretical approach, we explore novel gaugings of maximal supergravity in four dimensions with gauge group embeddings that can be generated by fluxes of IIB string theory. The corresponding potentials are positive without stationary points. Some allow domain wall solutions which can be elevated to ten dimensions. Appropriate truncations describe type-IIB flux compactifications on T^6 orientifolds leading to non-maximal, four-dimensional, supergravities.

Influence of Prestressing Tendon Layout on Torsion Moment of Long Span Curved Rigid-Frame Bridge

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

To reduce the bending-torsion coupling effect of curved girder bridge,a long span curved continuous rigid-frame bridge is cited as an example and the finite element software MIDAS is used to establish the spatial finite element model for the type of the bridge.The torsion moment distribution in the main girder of the bridge under the load action of dead weight,prestressing tendons,concrete shrinkage and creep is calculated.The results show that the torsion moment of the main girder is mainly caused by the dead weight and prestressing tendons and the moment dramatically increases with the decrease of the curvature radius.Therefore,the changing of the prestressing tendon layout will be an effective measure to counteract the moment and it is known that by changing the symmetric prestressing tendon layout in the original design in a different way,the asymmetric layout and tensioning of the prestressing tendons can effectively counteract the torsion moment caused by the dead weight.
Prospect Theory and Soviet Policy Towards Syria, 1966-1967

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This paper first describes and analyzes Soviet behavior toward its Arab clients, especially Syria, in 1966 and 1967. It then shows that the Soviet leadership was risk-acceptant in order to avert the loss of the incumbent Syrian regime. Finally, the paper argues that the Soviets defined the status quo in the Middle East as including a socialist-oriented Syria aligned with the Soviet Union against the West and against China in the socialist and national-liberation movements.

A Tear in the Iron Curtain: The Impact of Western Television on Consumption Behavior

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper examines the impact of exposure to foreign media on the economic behavior of agents in a totalitarian regime. We study private consumption choices focusing on former East Germany, where differential access to Western television was determined by geographic features. Using data collected after the transition to a market economy, we find no evidence of a significant impact of previous exposure to Western television on aggregate consumption lev-els. However, exposure to Western broadcasts affects the composition of consumption, biasing choices in favor of categories of goods with high intensity of pre-reunification advertisement. The effects vanish by 1998.

Automatic Path Migration over InfiniBand: Early Experiences

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

High computational power of commodity PCs combined with the emergence of low latency and high bandwidth interconnects has escalated the trends of cluster computing. Clusters with InfiniBand are being deployed, as reflected in the TOP 500 Supercomputer rankings. However, increasing scale of these clusters has reduced the mean time between failures (MTBF) of components. Network component is one such component of clusters, where failure of network interface cards (NICs), cables and/or switches breaks existing path(s) of communication. InfiniBand provides a hardware mechanism, automatic path migration (APM), which allows user transparent detection and recovery from network fault(s), without application restart. In this paper, we design a set of modules; which work together for providing network fault tolerance for user level applications leveraging the APM feature. Our performance evaluation at the MPI layer shows that APM incurs negligible overhead in the absence of faults in the system. In the presence of network faults, APM incurs negligible overhead for reasonably long running applications.
Role of Trips in Indian Agriculture Sector: Balancing Traditional Knowledge and Biotechnology

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Historically, the onset of green revolution that led to the introduction of high-yielding varieties (HYV) seeds rewrote the growth story of Indian agriculture. In the long term side effects of intensive farming were realized. In the meanwhile this success led to introduction of Bacillus Thuringiensis (Bt) cotton in India. Since then various divergent voices are being raised to protect traditional seed holding rights of the farmers. The policy paralysis due to elusive fear of patent rights has contributed to stalemate in embracing Genetically Modified (GM) crops. The study finds that the heightened scrutiny due to those fears brought new evidence about non-viability of such crops for Indian conditions. The agriculture sector has overcome the stalemate and is silently evolving to embrace its vast cultural knowledge and biodiversity along with non GM technology. The study is centered on the role of trade related aspects of intellectual property rights (TRIPS) and its impact on agricultural innovation lead by traditional knowledge and biotechnology. The data extracted from RBI, FAO and UNCOMTRADE WITS suggests that the share of primary products in the total exports is on decline. Similarly, the yield of Bt Cotton has become stagnant after an initial increase till 2004. After critically analyzing the reasons for current decline, the study suggests a relook at innovation by increasing the research and development (R&D) expenditure in traditional knowledge (TK) and biotechnology by both public and private stakeholders.
Corporate Sponsorship vs. Traditional Advertising in Sports: An Empirical Comparison

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

With the growth of corporate sport sponsorship as a widely-used marketing tool allowing brands to reach vast audiences, it has become a threat to traditional advertising practices like television advertising. Sponsorship’s perceived benefits over advertising operate via a transfer of “goodwill” from the favored sports property (e.g., an iconic hockey franchise like the Toronto Maple Leafs) to the sponsoring brand. Numerous streams of sponsorship research have emerged over the years, yet none have directly compared the performance of corporate sponsorship in professional sport with any type of traditional advertising, on the same set of consumer outcomes. Here, we address this gap by manipulating television (TV) and event sponsorship activations across five conditions, in order to explore significant differences in consumer attitudes and purchase intentions arising from exposure to varying degrees of sponsorship. Our ultimate goal was to conclusively identify whether or not sponsorship is superior to traditional TV advertising for brands. \n \nWhile our results were not enough to definitively address this question, we did find numerous benefits of TV and event sponsorship over traditional TV advertising that offer promising prospects for future research; namely we saw marked improvements in attitude towards the target brand, aided recall of the sponsoring brand, and sponsor recognition of consumers exposed to TV sponsorship. Further, we found additional benefits of integrating event sponsorship with both types of TV communications, suggesting a synergy effect between the two methods. Individuals’ sport involvement and team loyalty were found to partially moderate consumer responses to TV and event sponsorship, while self-construal was not.
Multiport MEMS-based waveguide and coaxial switches

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, a new concept of three-dimensional (3-D) multiport RF microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switches is introduced. The proposed structures are based on integrated MEMS actuators inside 3-D waveguide and coaxial structures. These switches are well suited for high-power redundancy switch matrices for satellite communication, as well as millimeter-wave applications. To demonstrate the concept, a C-type waveguide switch is fabricated and tested. The use of a unique bi-layer curled electrostatic actuators, results in a very good RF performance with an isolation of 36-40 dB and a return loss of -20dB over a 7% bandwidth at satellite Ku-band. This paper also presents for the first time a new type of MEMS-based coaxial switch, which can offer a much larger bandwidth with miniaturized dimensions. To prove the concept, prototype units of single-pole single-throw and C-type switches are designed, fabricated, and tested. The measured results demonstrate a bandwidth of 65% for the C-type MEMS-based coaxial switch.
Case of a Pure Arterial Malformation and Review of the Literature. (P12-5.029)

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective:

NA

Background:

Pure arterial malformations are dilated, overlapping, and tortuous arteries forming a mass of arterial loops without a venous component. These malformations are rare, with limited cases reported in the literature. Affecting any of the intracranial arteries, they are usually found incidentally and often have a benign course.

Design/Methods:

We present a case of a pure arterial malformation in a young female with hyperprolactinemia. Furthermore, we review the literature and provide an updated summary of these malformations.

Results:

A 28-year-old female with a history of infantile hemangiomas, polycystic ovary syndrome, and hyperprolactinemia presented with acne, mild hirsutism, and galactorrhea. Her neurological exam was normal. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the brain with and without contrast ruled out a prolactinoma but revealed a 3 cm vascular malformation at the margin of the left cavernous sinus extending posteriorly into the anterior left perimesencephalic cistern. Initial differentials included a pial arteriovenous malformation or less likely a dural arteriovenous fistula. A diagnostic cerebral angiogram revealed a pure arterial malformation without arteriovenous shunting. This was composed of dysplasia of the left posterior communicating artery and anterior choroidal arteries. Stenosis of the left internal carotid artery distally with collateral support into the left anterior cerebral artery and middle cerebral artery was also noted. Genetic testing for vascular malformation syndromes, including genes known to be associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, was negative. Repeat MRI/MRA done 8 months from the initial scan revealed no abnormal large arterial venous shunting or definite saccular aneurysm formation.

Conclusions:

Although rare, pure arterial malformations should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients presenting with a cranial vascular malformation. Management of these lesions is usually conservative given their lack of arteriovenous shunting and low risk of rupture, with only a few cases undergoing surgery or endovascular treatment.
