Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

SANTARIUS, Martin. Motivating Factors for Educational Tourists from the Czech Republic Institute of Hospitality Management in Prague. Prague:2013. The total number of pages is 60. The title of this study is “Motivating Factors for Educational Tourists from the Czech Republic”. The main aim of this study is to determine the motivational factors which help the students to decide to participate, or not participate in educational tourism. The findings can help to students who are thinking of going abroad for educational purposes to see and compare their goals and expectations with other students who already participated or are planning to participate in educational tourism. Nevertheless the study can be also beneficial in the process of targeting possible participants for businesses and organizations who are involved in educational tourism. The main research questions of this study are “Is motivation involved in deciding to go abroad for educational purposes?”, “What are the main factors that motivate to go to a foreign country for study purposes?”, “Why students decide to leave everything “behind” and go to a different country in order to get better education?”, “What is the most important motivational factor of educational tourism?” and “What is the least important motivational factor of educational tourism?”. The questionnaire method was chosen to collect the data of this study. The questionnaire was sent to 150 participants, from which 40 answered and participated. After the collection of the data, the analyses took place and evaluated the received data from which the results were stated. As it can be seen from the results, the motivational factors are very important in the process of deciding to participate in educational tourism. It was also stated that the most important motivational factor is the “foreign language improvement”, together with the least important motivational factor which is the “fashion”.
A snare combined with endoclips to assist in endoscopic submucosal dissection for intraepithelial neoplasia in the entire colon and rectum

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The approach using insertion of a selective snare into the colon together with the endoscope, especially into the deep colon, was safe and simple. Use of the snare combined with endoclips could effectively assist in total colonic ESD. Further research is warranted.
Active skin as new haptic interface

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, we present a new haptic interface, called "active skin", which is configured with a tactile sensor and a tactile stimulator in single haptic cell, and multiple haptic cells are embedded in a dielectric elastomer. The active skin generates a wide variety of haptic feel in response to the touch by synchronizing the sensor and the stimulator. In this paper, the design of the haptic cell is derived via iterative analysis and design procedures. A fabrication method dedicated to the proposed device is investigated and a controller to drive multiple haptic cells is developed. In addition, several experiments are performed to evaluate the performance of the active skin.

Equine-Assisted Experiential Learning on Leadership Development

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

In today’s fast-paced business world, where there is a need to develop divergent thinking and a wider range of skills, organizations seek original ways to be successful. Accordingly, leadership development has seen several uncommon approaches. Equine-assisted learning programs which involve innovative, underutilized, and motivating techniques and strategies, provide a dynamic process of building and developing leadership skills through horse-human interactions. In this paper, after the history of horse-human relationships and interactions are examined, a literature review is conducted on developing research and using equine-assisted leadership development programs. Although the extant research shows that equine-assisted leadership development programs promote skills critical to being an influential leader, the present paper provides an insight into equine-assisted experiential learning on leadership development, provides an overview on what happens in a typical equine-assisted experiential learning session, and suggests practical implications for researchers and organizations.
A non-invasive system to manage impacted teeth associated with a large dentigerous cyst

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

A male patient aged 11 years presented a large dentigerous cyst in the lower left quadrant associated with retained deciduous lower lateral incisor and canine and impacted, unerupted corresponding permanent ones. The treatment consisted in marsupialisation and placement of a modified lingual arch that held a tube for decompression used for irrigation of the cystic cavity in a comfortable way for the patient and for the clinician. The same lingual arch was later used as an anchorage method for traction of the retained teeth. The final records showed complete resolution of the cyst and retained teeth were successfully Aligned into the oral cavity.
Origin of the Saline Ground Water in Wadi Ar‐Rumah, Saudi Arabia

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

ABSTRACT Among the geologic formations traversed by Wadi Ar‐Rumah in north central Saudi Arabia, is the Saq Sandstone, an extensive and vitally important aquifer. However, the aquifer contains highly saline water in the area where Wadi Ar‐Rumah intersects the outcrop of the aquifer. The area is agriculturally important, but the saline water has caused, and is likely to continue to cause problems due to its intrusion into other parts of the aquifer as a result of heavy pumping. The geology, hydrogeology, and hydrochemistry of the area were examined in this study. Pertinent field data were used to explain the likely way in which the saline water was formed. At the end of the last pluvial period, the ephemeral runoff in the wadi decreased and a clay layer was deposited on its floor. Ground water was near the surface and its evaporation by capillary draw led to a concentration of solutes. A shallow clay layer prevented wadi flows from flushing out the saline ground water.

SEX COMPOSITION OF BELUGA (HUSO HUSO LINNAEUS, 1754) ALONG THE IRANIAN COASTAL WATERS, CASPIAN

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Beluga Huso huso is commercially an important species of sturgeon fish in the Caspian Sea. We determined the sex ratio of the commercial catch of the fish along the Iran coastal waters of the Caspian Sea during the years 1990-2003. Females dominated the catch and composed between 60-80 % of the landed fish. Observations on gonads maturity showed that immature females decreased from 71% to 47% of total catch. Female fish ratio increased from west to east in the coastal waters.
From Clustering Supersequences to Entropy Minimizing Subsequences for Single and Double Deletions

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

A binary string transmitted via a memoryless i.i.d. deletion channel is received as a subsequence of the original input. From this, one obtains a posterior distribution on the channel input, corresponding to a set of candidate supersequences weighted by the number of times the received subsequence can be embedded in them. In a previous work it is conjectured on the basis of experimental data that the entropy of the posterior is minimized and maximized by the constant and the alternating strings, respectively. In this work, in addition to revisiting the entropy minimization conjecture, we also address several related combinatorial problems. We present an algorithm for counting the number of subsequence embeddings using a run-length encoding of strings. We then describe methods for clustering the space of supersequences such that the cardinality of the resulting sets depends only on the length of the received subsequence and its Hamming weight, but not its exact form. Then, we consider supersequences that contain a single embedding of a fixed subsequence, referred to as singletons, and provide a closed form expression for enumerating them using the same run-length encoding. We prove an analogous result for the minimization and maximization of the number of singletons, by the alternating and the uniform strings, respectively. Next, we prove the original minimal entropy conjecture for the special cases of single and double deletions using similar clustering techniques and the same run-length encoding, which allow us to characterize the distribution of the number of subsequence embeddings in the space of compatible supersequences to demonstrate the effect of an entropy decreasing operation.
The study on the effect of plasticizer on the properties of PVDF films

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

A systematic study was carried out to investigate the effect of plasticizers on the properties of Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) thin films. PVDF thin films of concentrations 5 wt% and 10 wt% were fabricated and it was observed that N, N Dimethylformamide (DMF) solution is able to completely dissolve a 5 wt% solution of PVDF after magnetic stirring for 24 hours but is unable to dissolve a 10 wt% solution. Ethylene Carbonate (EC) was added to the PVDF-DMF mixture as a plasticizer and was found to be effective in dissolving the PVDF powder. Characterization of the fabricated films with varying ratios of PVDF: EC was conducted and compared with respect to thermal, mechanical and surface properties.
Characterizations of 1-Way Quantum Finite Automata

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The 2-way quantum finite automaton introduced by Kondacs and Watrous can accept non-regular languages with bounded error in polynomial time. If we restrict the head of the automaton to moving classically and to moving only in one direction, the acceptance power of this 1-way quantum finite automaton is reduced to a proper subset of the regular languages. In this paper we study two different models of 1-way quantum finite automata. The first model, termed measure-once quantum finite automata, was introduced by Moore and Crutchfield, and the second model, termed measure-many quantum finite automata, was introduced by Kondacs and Watrous. We characterize the measure-once model when it is restricted to accepting with bounded error and show that, without that restriction, it can solve the word problem over the free group. We also show that it can be simulated by a probabilistic finite automaton and describe an algorithm that determines if two measure-once automata are equivalent. We prove several closure properties of the classes of languages accepted by measure-many automata, including inverse homomorphisms, and provide a new necessary condition for a language to be accepted by the measure-many model with bounded error. Finally, we show that piecewise testable languages can be accepted with bounded error by a measure-many quantum finite automaton, in the process introducing new construction techniques for quantum automata.
Incidence of anal cytological abnormalities in a cohort of human immunodeficiency virus-infected women.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Little is known about the natural history of anal human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in HIV-infected women because, to date, no longitudinal studies have been reported in the scientific literature. This article estimates the incidence of anal cytological abnormalities in a cohort of HIV-infected women. It also examines potential risk factors for the development of an anal cytological abnormality. A cohort of HIV-infected women underwent interview, anal cytology, and anogenital HPV DNA testing. Women with a normal baseline anal cytology were followed for the development of an anal cytological abnormality. The incidence of an abnormality was calculated. Survival analyses were performed to examine risk factors for the development of an abnormality. Fourteen of 100 HIV-infected women had an abnormal anal cytology at baseline. Among the 86 women with a normal baseline cytology, the incidence of an abnormality was 22 [95% confidence interval (CI), 14-33] per 100 person-years. In a multivariate analysis, women were at increased risk if, at baseline, they had a CD4+ T-cell count of <500 cells/mm(3) [relative hazard (RH) = 4.11; 95% CI, 1.18-14.25], high-risk type anal HPV infection (RH = 2.54; 95% CI, 0.91-7.14) or were cigarette smokers (RH = 3.88; 95% CI, 1.12-13.42). The incidence of anal cytological abnormalities was high among this cohort of HIV-infected women, indicating that they are at high risk of anal squamous intraepithelial lesions. HIV-infected women are likely to be at higher risk than their HIV-uninfected counterparts because immune suppression conferred substantially increased risk. Continued research on the association between smoking and the development of squamous intraepithelial lesions in HIV-infected women is warranted.
The Synthesis of Amplified Ribosomal DNA

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

The DNA which codes for the 28 and 18 S ribosomal RNA molecules (rDNA) has been shown to undergo a 1000-fold amplification during the early stages of oogenesis in Xenopus laevis (Brown and Dawid, 1968; Perkowska et al., 1968; Gall, 1968). The chromosomal rDNA, which includes about 450 copies of the ribosomal gene at each nucleolar organizer (Brown and Dawid, 1968), and the amplified rDNA, organized in circles with different numbers of repeats in each circle (Miller, 1965), are identical for the lack of methylated bases in the amplified sequences (Dawid et al., 1970; Wensink and Brown, 1971). About 50% of the basic sequence of these tandem repeats is not contained in the mature rRNA (Brown and Weber, 1968; Birnstiel et al., 1968).
Understanding fiscal devaluations

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This thesis constitutes a comprehensive study of fiscal devaluations. The aim is to compile and simplify the literature on the subject, in order to better understand the mechanism and the effects of fiscal devaluation policies. Using a deterministic model of a small open economy with flexible prices and wages, we start by identifying the relevant equilibrium conditions and analysing the equivalence between fiscal and nominal devaluations. We then consider a simple model with fixed exchange rates and nominal wage rigidity to study how fiscal devaluations can be used to restore equilibrium in the labour market. While the consideration of fiscal devaluations in simplified frameworks is in fact adequate as a first approach, a complete and accurate study of these policies may require the use of models of higher complexity.
cAMP/PKA signaling and RIM1α mediate presynaptic LTP in the lateral amygdala

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

NMDA receptor-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) of glutamatergic synaptic transmission in sensory pathways from auditory thalamus or cortex to the lateral amygdala (LA) underlies the acquisition of auditory fear conditioning. Whereas the mechanisms of postsynaptic LTP at thalamo–LA synapses are well understood, much less is known about the sequence of events mediating presynaptic NMDA receptor-dependent LTP at cortico–LA synapses. Here, we show that presynaptic cortico–LA LTP can be entirely accounted for by a persistent increase in the vesicular release probability. At the molecular level, we found that signaling via the cAMP/PKA pathway is necessary and sufficient for LTP induction. Moreover, by using mice lacking the active-zone protein and PKA target RIM1α ( RIM1 α −/− ), we demonstrate that RIM1α is required for both chemically and synaptically induced presynaptic LTP. Further analysis of cortico–LA synaptic transmission in RIM1 α −/− mice revealed a deficit in Ca 2+ -release coupling leading to a lower baseline release probability. Our results reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying the induction of presynaptic LTP at cortico–LA synapses and indicate that RIM1α-dependent LTP may involve changes in Ca 2+ -release coupling.
Thoracic actinomycosis caused by actinomyces meyeri.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Two patients with chest infections caused by Actinomyces meyeri were seen during a 5-yr period. One patient was ill for 2 yr and had chronic infection manifested by bilateral cavitary and fibrotic changes on chest roentgenogram. A. meyeri was isolated from a chest wall lesion, transtracheal aspirate, and lung tissue. The other patient presented with a subcutaneous abscess of the left hip that yielded A. meyeri on culture. A localized lung infection and empyema were found. Both patients had other aerobes or anaerobes recovered from material haboring A. meyeri, a frequent finding in actinomycosis caused by Actinomyces israelii. To our knowledge, thoracic actinomycosis caused by A. meyeri has not been previously described.
The Irrelevance of Active Poison Pills: Evidence from a Natural Experiment

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

I use a novel, hand coded dataset with pill-related information for a large sample of large firms over the period 2000/2011 to analyze how having an active poison pill affects firm value and operating performance. I exploit a change in the voting guidelines of Institutional Shareholder Services as a source of exogenous variation in the extent to which firms have an active poison pill in place. I conclude that, contrary to what one may believe by using a simpler identification strategy, there is no evidence that having an active pill in place has any effect on firm value or operating performance.
Gynecomastia: Analysis of 159 Patients and Current Recommendations for Treatment

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Gynecomastia has been treated surgically in 159 patients during the past 22 1/2 years. Prior to 1980, all patients had traditional excision, which was followed by a high incidence of complications and undesired sequelae, not the least of which was that the results of this aesthetic operation were often unaesthetic. Since 1980, when suction lipectomy became the cornerstone of treatment, the results have been much better. As a result, current recommendations for treatment are as follows: If the gynecomastia is entirely due to fat, suction lipectomy alone is sufficient treatment. However, since suction will not remove breast parenchyma, those patients whose gynecomastia is due to parenchymal hypertrophy also require local excision of the parenchyma. Skin excision is rarely, if ever, necessary.

The investigations were carried out under practical conditions at a number of power stations. The work has included both aluminium brass and cupro-nickel alloy tubes.The results obtained suggest that the technique offers an attractive method of assessing the likely service performance of condenser tubes. It should be particularly useful when general corrosion problems are anticipated, also for the monitoring of plant during commissioning or assessing the effects of cooling water treatment.
BİTKİSEL KAYNAKLI ANTI-HIV BİLEŞİKLER : PLANT ORIGINATED ANTI-HIV COMPOUNDS

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

AİDS (Acauired Immune Defıciency Syndrome) that has been known since 1980&#039;s, is a pandemic immunosupressive disease and HIV (Human Immunadefıciency Virüs) is identifıed as the primary cause of this disease. Although, several natural and synthetic compounds were detected to possess anti-HIV activity, only a few of them are licensed for clinical use. One of the approaches on the investigation of the compounds with anti-HIV activity is to investigate the medicinal plants. Numerous compounds isolated from plant sources were shown to possess anti-HIV activity. The current review describes the anti-HIV active natural compounds isolated from various plant sources
