Perspectives on “new” models of business reporting: a reflective note

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce alternative perspectives on “new” business reporting models as they appear in the “thought pieces” in this special themed section of AAAJ . Design/methodology/approach The paper employs a literature based analysis and critique. The paper is primarily a discussion paper. Findings There are several research issues examined in the papers in this special theme section which point to the need for researchers to reflect on their motivation, use of theory and values to ensure academic work is making a genuine contribution. Research limitations/implications “New” models of business reporting are experimental and could be explored in greater depth in future studies. Originality/value The papers contribute to the growing debate on “value” and key underlying issues associated with the emergence of “new” accounting and reporting practices. Through this process of reflection, hidden assumptions can be exposed, “new” visibilities explored, and competing dilemmas opened up.
AC 2007-1497: TESTING OUR ASSUMPTIONS: MATHEMATICS PREPARATION AND ITS ROLE IN ENGINEERING STUDENT SUCCESS

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract Two studies are presented that attempt to test commonly held assumptions regarding mathematics preparation as a predictor to success and retention in engineering programs. Many engineering educators, high school teachers and guidance counselors recommend that engineering programs should only be attempted by students who excel in accelerated and advance placement high school mathematics. The underlying assumption behind this belief is that success in high school mathematics is the best predictor of success as an engineering student and, by extension, a practicing engineer. Boise State University, as a metropolitan university in a region that is not supported by a community college system, is uniquely situated to test these assumptions. We have found that more than 30% of our successful students (those who earn bachelors degrees) began their college career at the eighth or tenth grade algebra level. Even more significantly, we found that the grade earned in their first college level mathematics class was significantly correlated to whether or not they persisted in engineering while the level at which they began mathematics study at the university was not. These results, if they prove to be representative, have significant implication for policy, admissions standards and program development to improve retention in engineering schools.
Interaction of the Marine Humic Acid with Liposomes

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The effect of the marine humic acid on lipid bilayer liposomes was studied to evaluate the physiological activity of humic acids to the biological membrane.A marine humic acid extracted from a sediment of Suruga Bay was used. Dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) was treated by the alcohol method to prepare the liposome solution, then was subjected to gel permeation chromatography on a Sepharose 4 B column.Potassium ion was released when humic acid was added to liposomes containing potassium ion at 30°C. A valinomycine impregnated ion selective electrode was used for detection of the ion. The high concentration of humic acid caused a rapid release of the ion. The effect was markedly observed above the phase transition temperature.The liposome solution incubated with the humic acid at 30°C for more than 48 h showed an increase in its turbidity ; which was ascribed to the fusion of liposomes. At the ratio of the humic acid concentration to the DMPC concentration 510, the fusion was seemed to be inhibited. The fusion was considerably slow compared to the other two interactions.The phase transition temperature of DMPC liposomes was determined by means of a fluorescent probe. Liposomes with the fluorescent probe were incubated with the humic acid for 1 h at 30°C and the fluorescence intensity was measured. Above 1 ppm of the humic acid shifted the phase transition to lower temperature by 2°C and less than 1 ppm caused the effect proportional to the concentration.These results indicate that the humic acid interacts with liposomes to change the surface of the membrane and to increase the liquidity of the lipid.
Enhanced Carbon Adsorption Process for Advanced Treatment of Biotreated Coking Plant Wastewater

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

The effectiveness of coagulation/flocculation/ sedimentation (CFS), carbon adsorption, and CFS+carbon adsorption for advanced treatment of a biologically treated coking plant effluent was studied. The CFS treatment was cost effective for producing an effluent reusable as cooling water (COD Cr <;100 mg/L). Carbon adsorption accomplished the same recycling treatment at a higher cost. Both carbon type and feed quality affect the cost of carbon adsorption treatment. The CFS+carbon adsorption treatment process, in which the CFS section removed large molecular weight organic constituents of the feed and the subsequent adsorption section using low cost coal based activated carbon removed the residual organic pollutant, was cost effective (Yen 0.75/m 3 treated) for advanced treatment of the coking plant effluent; the final effluent (COD Cr <;50 mg/L) was reusable for many beneficial purposes.
On automated Flow Cytometric analysis for MRD estimation of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia: A comparison among different approaches

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) is a powerful risk-stratification marker in the treatment of primary and relapsed childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Flow Cytometry is a fast and sensitive method to detect MRD, however, the interpretation of these multi-parametric data demands intensive operator training and experience. In this paper we propose a comparison among three different approaches for the automatic detection of leukemic cells in FCM data samples. The first approach is a fully-discriminative baseline based on the Support Vector Machine. The second approach is divided in two phases, the first is an unsupervised feature learning using a Stacked Auto-Encoder Neural Network, the second phase consists of exploiting the previously trained Neural Network to perform inference on the data classification. The third approach is fully generative and based on the Gaussian Mixture Model estimation and Bayes decision. Results show that a generative model provides better accuracy on MRD estimation with respect to the other two approaches. All samples are collected by national diagnostic reference centers for children with ALL for medical purposes enrolled in the current treatment protocol AIEOP-BFM-2009.

Coming home through football: A geographic exploration of long-distance fandom

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This thesis focuses on the relationship between long-distance football fandom and home. It examines how the act of supporting non-domestic football clubs is a symbolic and material connection to multiple scales of home for 32 long-distance football fans, aged between 17–65, who live in Aotearoa New Zealand. I argue that football fans and homes are mutually constituted and continually reproduced through football fandom practices. Examining fan practice from the scale of the body through to the globe demonstrates how multiple homes interplay with fan practice. Literature on home and literature on sport have not yet been combined by scholars. Drawing these two bodies of work together offers the opportunity to unpack fans’ relationships to ‘things’, between ‘people’ and to ‘places’, providing a window into critical geographies of identities. \nSocial, cultural, feminist and emotional geographies of home and qualitative research methods frame this research. A range of methods are combined to create a holistic view of the complex and messy relationships which construct fan identities and homes. Semi-structured interviews with 27 men and five women participants along with self-directed photography, ‘going-alongs’, participant sensings and textual data analysis were used to examine participants experiences of football fandom and home. \nFindings are organised into three intersecting themes: things; people; and, places. The first theme focuses on how connections to a club are established and maintained through material cultures of home. Material objects construct home not only through a physical presence but also through becoming infused with emotions and memory. Unpacking the relationships between ‘people’ which shape fan identities is the second theme. Fans and their homes are gendered, raced and classed through the act of supporting a club. The relationship to ‘place’ is the third theme, where I examine the multiple places which influence fan identities. Here fan ‘homes’ are imagined as multi-scalar and I highlight the ways in which connections to a club are key to fluid notions of home and identity. \nThis research demonstrates that football fandom offers a unique opportunity to geographers. Fandom spaces are under-researched and worthy of further scrutiny. Examining the relationships between home and fandom sheds light on the workings of power across a range of scales from the body, to the nation and the globe. Football fans’ homes are messy, complex, varied lived and felt.
Linewidths and Two-Electron Processes in Spin-Flip Raman Scattering from CdS and ZnSe

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We present inelastic-light-scattering data and analyses for spin-flip scattering from conduction electrons in CdS and ZnSe. Cross sections, linewidths, and line shapes are studied as functions of magnetic field, temperature, scattering angle, and donor concentration. Both free-conduction-electron spin-flip processes and spin-flip processes involving conduction electrons bound to shallow donors are observed. These processes exhibit different selection rules and temperature dependences; the free-electron spin-flip processes exhibit only ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{\mathrm{ij}}$ scattering in which $i\ensuremath{\ne}j$ and $i$ or $j\ensuremath{\parallel}\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\mathrm{H}}$ as expected, while the bound-electron spin-flip processes also exhibit strong ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{\mathrm{xx}}$ and ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{\mathrm{yy}}$ scattering ($z$ is the [0001] optic axis), in agreement with the selection rules calculated for shallow donors at ${C}_{3V}$ Cd sites by Thomas and Hopfield. For right-angle scattering, the free-electron linewidth increases from 0.05 ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ (half-width at half-height) at 2 \ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K to about 4 ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ at \ensuremath{\sim} 150 \ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K in both ZnSe and CdS. This broadening is not due to a decrease in spin lifetime, but rather to a spin diffusion, as directly confirmed by the angular dependence of the spin-flip linewidth. The linewidth is observed to vary as ${q}^{2}$, where $q$ is the momentum transfer in the light-scattering process. Bound-electron scattering exhibits a linewidth which is independent of scattering angle and nearly independent of temperature over the 2-150 \ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K range. The spin-diffusion model is thus not applicable to bound-electron scattering. The double spin-flip process observed involves two interacting electrons with an apparent attractive energy of 0.25 \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 0.05 ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. Selection rules, relative cross sections, field dependence, and binding energy of the double spin-flip transition are discussed. At sufficiently high input powers (\ensuremath{\ge}3 MW/${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$) the CdS single spin-flip scattering becomes stimulated, resulting in a tunable, visible, spin-flip laser.
Are Tourists Happier When Traveling Together? The Interplay of Self-construal and Companion Presence on Hedonia and Eudaimonia

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Traveling with companions is commonplace, yet the effect of travel companions on tourists’ well-being remains disputed, warranting further investigation. Drawing on social facilitation theory, this study investigates the interaction effect of self-construal (independent vs. interdependent) and companion presence (alone vs. with a companion) on tourists’ positive affect and well-being. Evidence from four studies, using various self-construal manipulations and tourism activities, reveals that tourists with interdependent self-construal derive higher hedonia when traveling with a companion, whereas tourists with independent self-construal gain higher eudaimonia when traveling alone. Additionally, this interaction effect is mediated by two distinct dimensions of positive affect: pleasant affect (a low-arousal state) and positive involvement (a high-arousal state), respectively. These findings advance the understanding of how self-construal and companion presence influence hedonia and eudaimonia. Tourism managers can utilize these findings to tailor travel products, messaging strategies, and service experiences according to whether tourists travel alone or with a companion.
Methods for Solving Ill-Posed Extremum Problems with Optimal and Extra-Optimal Properties

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

The notion of the quality of approximate solutions of ill-posed extremum problems is introduced and a posteriori estimates of quality are studied for various solution methods. Several examples of quality functionals which can be used to solve practical extremum problems are given. The new notions of the optimal, optimal-in-order, and extra-optimal qualities of a method for solving extremum problems are defined. A theory of stable methods for solving extremum problems (regularizing algorithms) of optimal-in-order and extra-optimal quality is developed; in particular, this theory studies the consistency property of a quality estimator. Examples of regularizing algorithms of extra-optimal quality for solving extremum problems are given.
RARE SULFOSALTS FROM VULCANO, AEOLIAN ISLANDS, ITALY. VII. Cl-BEARING GALENOBISMUTITE

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Cl-bearing galenobismutite (with Cl ranging from 0.12 to 1.45 wt.%), discovered among high-temperature fumarole incrustations at “La Fossa” crater, Island of Vulcano, Italy, has been chemically and structurally investigated. The mineral is commonly associated with bismuthinite, cannizzarite, lillianite, heyrovskýite and galena, and rarely with kirkiite, vurroite and other less well characterized Pb(Bi)-sulfochlorides. Electron-microprobe investigations show that Cl-bearing galenobismutite from Vulcano has a wide compositional field (Pb:Bi atomic ratio ranging from 0.52 to 0.72). The statistical analysis of chemical data shows correlations between the main elements and chlorine, positive Pb versus Cl and negative Bi versus Cl, according to the coupled heterovalent substitution scheme: Pb 2+ + Cl − ⇌ Bi 3+ + S 2− . The compositional variation of Cl-bearing galenobismutite can be represented by the general empirical formula Pb 1+ x Bi 2− x (S 4− x − y Cl x Se y ), with 0 x y 2 S 4 toward an increase of the Pb content and a decrease of Bi. The phase IV, synthetic analogue of galenobismutite in the system Pb–Bi–S, has the compositional field extending from ideal composition toward decreasing Pb (Pb:Bi atomic ratio in the range 0.50–0.39). It reflects another type of substitution: 3Pb 2+ → 2Bi 3+ + □. Single-crystal X-ray investigations were performed on two selected crystals of Cl-bearing galenobismutite from Vulcano. The composition of galenobismutite controls the a and b unit-cell parameters, which increase with the increase of the Cl content. The structural refinements converge to R values of 3.10% for 840 reflections [ F o > 4σ( F o )] and 1.49% for 376 reflections [F o > 4σ( F o )], respectively. The structure of Cl-bearing galenobismutite is topologically identical to that of Cl-free galenobismutite. The excess of Pb observed in Cl-bearing galenobismutite is incorporated in the trigonal prismatic M 2 gb and M 3 gb sites. No Pb-for-Bi substitution was observed at the octahedral position M 1 gb . We do not find evidence of a preferential distribution of Cl among the anion positions.
[Prevention of NSAID gastropathy: the difference between a coxibs and the addition of a PPI].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Several strategies are available for the prevention of NSAID gastropathy: the addition of misoprostol or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to conventional NSAIDs, or selective use of cyclo-oxygenase 2 inhibitors, the 'coxibs'. The recently published CONDOR study was a randomized trial comparing celecoxib with omeprazole in patients at high risk for NSAID gastropathy. A statistically significant reduction in the primary endpoint was found: hazard ratio: 4.3 (95% CI: 2.6-6.7; p < 0.0001). However, the reduction was largely based on a higher incidence of anaemia in the diclofenac plus omeprazole group. The study has strengths and weaknesses. The most important conclusion is that the nature of the gastro-protective effects of celecoxib and diclofenac/misoprostol are different.
AlertGS: determining alerts for gene sets

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

Abstract Motivation A typical goal in gene expression studies is identifying certain gene sets enriched with significant genes. The measurement of many gene expression experiments for several concentrations or time points allows the modeling of the concentration/time–response relationship for each gene, and the subsequent estimation of a gene-wise alert. In this work, an approach is proposed to transfer the concept of alerts from single genes to gene sets, yielding a global significance statement and the respective concentration or time where the first enrichment of the gene set can be observed. The methodology is based on a Kolmogorov–Smirnoff type test statistic for each gene set. Results Simulations show that a majority of these sets can be identified especially for lower numbers of true gene sets with a signal. The false positive rate can be controlled by subsequent decorrelation approaches. Overall, the true gene set-wise alerts are rarely overestimated and rather tend to be underestimated. Availability and implementation The code needed to reproduce the simulations and apply the AlertGS methodology is available at the GitHub repository: https://github.com/FKappenberg/AlertGS.
Synthesis and biological evaluation of anthranilamide-based non-peptide mimetics of omega-conotoxin GVIA

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Non-peptide mimetics based on an anthranilamide 'scaffold' possessing fragments that mimic Lys2, Tyr13 and Arg17 in omega-conotoxin GVIA have been prepared. Compounds were assayed for binding to the voltage-gated calcium channels Ca(v)2.2 ('N-type') and Ca(v)2.1 'P/Q-type') in rat brain. The primary synthetic target, 2-(6-amino-hexanoylamino)-5-(3-guanidino-propoxy)-N-[4-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)phenyll -benzamide (2a), exhibited low mu M binding to Ca(v)2.2 and was more than 30-fold selective for Ca(v)2.2 over Cav2. 1.

Molecular phylogeny reveals the presence of cryptic speciation within Erysiphe japonica (≡Typhulochaeta japonica), a powdery mildew on Quercus spp.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on 28S, ITS and IGS rDNA sequences indicate that Erysiphe japonica (≡ Typhulochaeta japonica) consists of two different genetic groups, one group on Quercus aliena, Q. robur and Q. serrata, and another group on Q. crispula var. crispula and Q. crispula var. horikawae. As morphological difference between the two groups are not yet marked distinctly, we suppose that the process of speciation has not yet been finished and propose a new variety, E. japonica var. crispulae, for the latter group based on the difference in host range and the distinct genetic segregation. Quercus robur (pedunculate oak) is a new host of E. japonica.
Management Practices and Perceived Constraints in Goat Rearing in Burdwan District of West Bengal

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A study was conducted in order to analyze goat rearing practices prevailing in the district and to identify the constraints in goat farming through collection of data from 150 respondents from Burdwan district. The data pertaining to reasons for taking up goat farming, goat rearing practices being followed and constraints being faced were collected with the help of semi-structured interview schedule after ensuring its reliability and validity. Getting remunerative price from the each animal reared on low or no cost input was the most important (81.78 MPS) reason for rearing of Bengal goat. Most of the goat keepers (90%) reared their animals following semiintensive system in kachcha houses (69.33%) which were constructed separately with locally available low-cost materials. Floor of goat shed in most of the cases (56.67%) was earthen and roof had traditional thatch (56.67%). Almost half of the respondents (51.33%) maintained their goats by allowing grazing for 4 – 6 hours per day and offering vegetable waste, vegetables and crop residues alongwith tree leaves. Most of the goat farmers (57.33%) vaccinated their goats against major diseases like goat pox, peste des petits ruminant and foot and mouth disease. Lack of pure breed buck (Rank I), high incidence of diseases (Rank II) and lack of capital to start a goat farm (Rank III) were perceived to be the major constraints by the goat rearers.

해외 원조사업에 종교계가 투여하는 인적·물적 자원의 규모와 사용방식, 그것이 가져오는 효과를 객관적으로 평가하고 보다 바람직한 원조방식을 모색하고자 한 것이 본 연구의 목표이다. 이와 관련하여 본 연구는 직접적인 선·포교 방식에 부수되는 원조의 형태보다는 대상 지역의 개발을 우선 지원하는 원조 방식을 바람직한 것으로 판단했다. 즉, 종교계의 재원 투입방향을 국제개발협력 쪽으로 전환하고, 또 그 비중을 늘림으로써 종교의 공공성을 확대하고 이를 통해 개발원조 협력국으로서의 한국의 이미지 제고를 모색하고자 하는 것이다. 이러한 모색은 국제개발협력에 있어서의 한국 종교의 공공성을 제고하는 것뿐만 아니라 한국 사회 내에서 있어서도 공공성을 제고할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 종교가 자기 확대보다는 사회개발에 자신의 자원을 투자하고 기여한다면 사회 자본으로서의 종교로 자리매김할 수 있다고 믿기 때문이다.
