ACCESS-QUALITY MODEL IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The paper examines two (2) models for the relationship of Access to and Quality of Public Higher Education in the Philippines. The first model is the usual Feed Forward Quality Model where the inputs, processes, and outcomes of higher education are taken as sequential elements in the educative process. The second model is the Feedback Quality Model where the academic processes of an institution dictate the quality of inputs; further, the inputs go through the academic processes of the institution to produce a desired level of quality. Findings show that the Feedback Quality Model best fits the Philippine situation. The desired quality level is represented by the Philippine institutions which are highly competitive (selective admissionselective retention policies). Within this category, access is maximized by increasing retention rates through appropriate investments in the quality of the academic processes: faculty, facilities, curriculum, and student services. From the current state of Open Admission-Selective Retention of the public higher education institutions, the State needs to quadruple its investments on public higher education institutions if it wants to reach the ideal quality levels.
A Supervised Correlation Coefficient Method: Detection of Different Correlation

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Correlation coefficient is a kind of feature selection method that can effectively choose the most appropriate feature and reducing data dimensions. There are several supervised correlation coefficient methods have been considered. However, few methods can detect both the linear correlation and non-linear correlation. Our study considered a supervised correlation coefficient method, named consistency detection, to detect linear and non-linear correlation. Our results show consistency detection can better retain the dimensions of classification and detect correlation than Pearson correlation coefficient in some way.
Representation Matters: Progressing Research in Plurisexuality and Bisexuality in Sport

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Plurisexual is an umbrella term which refers to individuals who are, or who have the potential to be, attracted to more than one gender. Identities including bisexual, pansexual and fluid therefore fall under the category plurisexual. Academic research surrounding plurisexuality and sport has received limited academic attention in comparison to research based on homosexuality and sport. Existing academic research in relation to plurisexuality and sport concentrates predominantly on bisexuality, although this is also limited. For this reason, bisexuality takes a central focus within this article. The analysis highlights the complexities when defining the term bisexual. It then examines the impact of athletes and bisexuality in the media. A critical analysis of research based on the experiences and understandings of bisexuality and sport is then undertaken. Suggestions for future research are also given to increase academic knowledge in this currently marginalized area of sport.
Modifications of a large HIV prevention clinical trial to fit changing realities: A case study of the Breastfeeding, Antiretroviral, and Nutrition (BAN) protocol in Lilongwe, Malawi

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

In order to evaluate strategies to reduce HIV transmission through breast milk and optimize both maternal and infant health among HIV-infected women and their infants, we designed and implemented a large, randomized clinical trial in Lilongwe, Malawi. The development of protocols for large, randomized clinical trials is a complicated and lengthy process often requiring alterations to the original research design. Many factors lead to delays and changes, including study site-specific priorities, new scientific information becoming available, the involvement of national and international human subject committees and monitoring boards, and alterations in medical practice and guidance at local, national, and international levels. When planning and implementing a clinical study in a resource-limited setting, additional factors must be taken into account, including local customs and program needs, language and socio-cultural barriers, high background rates of malnutrition and endemic diseases, extreme poverty, lack of personnel, and limited infrastructure. Investigators must be prepared to modify the protocol as necessary in order to ensure participant safety and successful implementation of study procedures. This paper describes the process of designing, implementing, and subsequently modifying the Breastfeeding, Antiretrovirals, and Nutrition, (BAN) study, a large, ongoing, randomized breastfeeding intervention trial of HIV-infected women and their infants conducted at a single site in Lilongwe, Malawi. We highlight some of the successes, challenges, and lessons learned at different stages during the conduct of the trial.
Intracranial aneurysms: analysis of results of microneurosurgery.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Subarachnoid haemorrhage from intracranial aneurysms has a poor prognosis. Operative management of intracranial aneurysms was once considered ineffective. The first 100 cases treated by micorsurgery were analysed to see whether mortality and morbidity were reduced. Modern surgical techniques halved the total mortality but the morbidity was unaltered. Results can be improved by delaying surgery seven days and by treating any hypertension before surgery.
The Use of Health Management Programs for the Contractors Workforce

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract This paper aims to detail key success factors in understanding the effective principles of managing the health and well-being of the contractor workforce during and post pandemics, specifically for organizations in the oil, gas and energy industry. Furthermore, it shall provide insights and guidance on how to maintain and enhance contractor workforce experience, particularly during and post the COVID-19 pandemic; detailing the benefits of having well-established health management programs designed specifically for the contractor workforce. The social determinants of health (SDH) can be defined as the social and economic conditions in which people are born, grow, live, learn, work and age. They are nonmedical factors that influence a vast range of health conditions; affecting individuals' overall quality-of-life. Economic policies, social norms and political systems are all examples of forces and factors that shape daily life conditions and affect human health (ODPHP, n.d.; WHO, n.d.a). SDH also encompasses education, employment, socioeconomic status, access to health care, social support as well as neighborhood and physical environment (Artiga and Hinton, 2018). SDH have a crucial influence on health disparities and inequities – "the unfair and avoidable differences in health status seen within and between countries" (CDC, 2020). A well-known key factor in the emergence and perpetuation of health disparities is housing. Several researchers from a diverse array of disciplines explored the various aspects of the association between housing, health and well-being. They endeavored to comprehensively elucidate the major pathways through which housing conditions can negatively impact health equity, with a focus on the broad spectrum of hazardous exposures, their accumulated impact and their historical production. As reported by Rolfe et al. (2020), there is compelling evidence of poor physical health consequences of toxins within homes, damp and mold, cold indoor temperatures, overcrowding, and safety factors. Beyond the aforementioned impacts of physical aspects of housing on physical health, poor housing conditions have also been linked with high risks of poor mental health and well-being (Pevalin et al., 2017).
Parameterisation of the MRP method: automatic identification and extraction of properties

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

The overall context of this paper is the parameterisation of the material requirement planning method. It is crucial to be able to evaluate the potential effects of the parameters on the production system's performance indicators (PI). This evaluation is generally the result of the combination of an experimental design with a production system simulator. This paper proposes an approach facilitating the interpretation of the effects of the experimental design method. The specific feature of our approach is that it proposes the classification of the effects as a model for the automatic identification and extraction of the properties. These characterise the relations between the parameters and the PI.
Accurate phase-shift estimation for fringe-pattern profilometry

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Fringe-pattern profilometry (FPP) has been widely used for phase reconstruction. It involves the use of phase shifting for phase retrieval. Phase-shift errors can affect the accuracy of phase reconstruction, and limited studies have been dedicated to studying phase-shift errors due to experimental, human, or environmental factors. We propose a simple and yet accurate phase-shift estimation method. Our study shows that the method is able to accurately estimate the actual phase shifts used in the FPP technique. The proposed method can find its applications in FPP and other phase shifting-based three-dimensional imaging techniques.
Improving the Detection, Assessment, Management and Prevention of Delirium in Hospices (the DAMPen-D study): protocol for a co-design and feasibility study of a flexible and scalable implementation strategy to deliver guideline-adherent delirium care

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Introduction Delirium is a complex condition in which altered mental state and cognition causes severe distress and poor clinical outcomes for patients and families, anxiety and stress for the health professionals and support staff providing care, and higher care costs. Hospice patients are at high risk of developing delirium, but there is significant variation in care delivery. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of an implementation strategy (designed to help deliver good practice delirium guidelines), participant recruitment and data collection. Methods and analysis Three work packages in three hospices in the UK with public involvement in codesign, study management and stakeholder groups: (1) experience-based codesign to adapt an existing theoretically-informed implementation strategy (Creating Learning Environments for Compassionate Care (CLECC)) to implement delirium guidelines in hospices; (2) feasibility study to explore ability to collect demographic, diagnostic and delirium management data from clinical records (n=300), explanatory process data (number of staff engaged in CLECC activities and reasons for non-engagement) and cost data (staff and volunteer hours and pay-grades engaged in implementation activities) and (3) realist process evaluation to assess the acceptability and flexibility of the implementation strategy (preimplementation and postimplementation surveys with hospice staff and management, n=30 at each time point; interviews with hospice staff and management, n=15). Descriptive statistics, rapid thematic analysis and a realist logic of analysis will be used be used to analyse quantitative and qualitative data, as appropriate.

The Masks of Europe in Contemporary Bosnia and Herzegovina

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This chapter examines the political effects of European discourses in contemporary Bosnia. It analyzes how international agents in Bosnia have relied on Balkanist binaries to shape international interventions both during the conflict and in the post-conflict period. The chapter explains the international invocations of Europe with the narratives of local Bosnian political party activists and civil society organizations. It describes how the material and cartographic violence has been inserted into discourses of Europeanization by international agencies and nationalist political parties in the post-conflict period. This chapter argues that the ideas of Europe circulating in contemporary Bosnia do not challenge the primacy of the state, despite the prevalence of references to forms of solidarity beyond the nation state. Rather, the virtue of European association has been deployed to legitimize the strengthening of competing visions of statehood in Bosnia. It explores how the processes of Europeanization' have seen the adoption and redeployment of Balkanist imaginaries by nationalist political parties.
An Icon for a New Woman: A Previously Unidentified Portrait of Isabella Andreini by Paolo Veronese

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

My paper concerns a fascinating portrait by Veronese in the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, of a woman here identified as the great Italian actress Isabella Andreini. Thisidentification is based not only on a comparison of its physiognomic details with those in the most reliable known portrait of Isabella, that of Raphael Sadeler (1602), but also on important features emerging from the iconographic analysis. These are the book held in the young lady's left hand, her sophisticated and androgynous appearance, the exceptional cut and fashion of her clothes, and the absence of jewels or other marks of social identification. The date here proposed for the portrait, 1583, coincides with major theatrical events in Venice and its territories. Previous art historians have been reluctant to interpret this extraordinary portrait, because of its lack of recognizable and unambiguous marks of reference. It seems certain that the sitter, here identified as the young but already famous actress, inspired the painter to shape a new, expressive and strong icon of femininity, denoted by intellectual and moral independence, and a firm, physically oriented decorum. This enquiry into the portrait is contextualized by addressing basic methodological questions relevant to the identification of portraits of actors and actresses.
[Differential diagnosis of chorea].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Chorea is an involuntary movement that appears along with many diseases, it is commonly described as a frequent, brief, sudden, and twitch-like movement that is manifested in various parts of the body in a chaotic pattern. Huntington disease (HD) is a representative neurodegenerative disorder that presents with chorea. Although HD is caused by a CAG-repeat expansion in the IT-15 gene which encodes huntingtin, a small group of patients showing the symptoms and signs of HD do not have the causative CAG-repeat expansion, thereby showing that autosomal-dominant chorea is genetically heterogeneous. Recent studies have demonstrated that such disorders include dentatorubral pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA), spinocerebellar ataxia type 17 (SCA17), Huntington disease like 1 (HDL1), Huntington disease like 2 (HDL2), and benign hereditary chorea (BHC). We recently identified 2 Japanese families with adult-onset benign chorea that was inherited in an autosomal-dominant pattern that was linked to chromosome 8q22.2-q23.3, and we named this disease "benign hereditary chorea type 2 (BHC2)". Chorea can also be caused by a wide range of other hereditary diseases and sporadic disease such as metabolic, infectious, inflammatory, vascular, and drug-induced syndromes. In this article, we have reviewed the clinical features of the disorders associated with chorea.
Improvement of Magnetic Performance of Nd–Fe–B-Type Die-Upset Magnet by RF3-Doping

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Enhancement of magnetic performance of the Nd-Fe-B-type die-upset magnet by using RF 3 (R = Dy, Pr, Nd, Ce, La)-doping as a source of rare-earth substituent was investigated. Commercial melt-spun flakes of Nd 13.6 Fe 73.6 Co 6.6 Ga 0.6 B 5.6 were mixed with 1.6 wt.% RF 3 (R = Dy, Pr, Nd, Ce, La) powder. The mixture was hot pressed and then die upset. Coercivity of the die-upset magnet was enhanced by RF 3 (R = Dy, Pr, Nd)-doping without severely sacrificing magnetic performance. In the RF 3 -doped magnet, active substitution between the R atoms from the added RF 3 and the Nd atoms in the neighboring flakes occurred to form thin R-diffused shells near the surface of the flakes. Coercivity enhancement for the RF 3 (R = Dy, Pr)-doped magnet was largely attributed to the enhancement of the anisotropy field of (Nd, Dy) 2 Fe 14 B- or (Nd,Pr) 2 Fe 14 B-type grains in the R-diffused shell on the flake surface. Coercivity enhancement in the NdF 3 -doped magnet was attributed to grain boundary restructuring in the R-diffused shell region.
The effects of surface ripples on sputtering erosion rates and secondary ion emission yields

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The rate of erosion by non-normal incidence ion bombardment of a sinusoidally rippled surface is calculated analytically for an arbitrary dependence of the sputtering yield on the angle of ion incidence and spatial derivatives of the surface gradient as a function of the ratio of the ripple amplitude to wavelength. It is shown that, relative to the value for a flat surface, the erosion rate first increases and then decreases as this ratio increases, but before this decrease can occur, interpeak shadowing of the incident ion flux changes the ripple habit to sawtooth form and the erosion rate reaches a steady-state value. The influence of this variation on the sputtered atom yield and, therefore, on secondary ion yield is also evaluated and shown to compare favorably with experimental studies of the behavior of this parameter.
Geometry and Tectonic Setting of Sea-Floor Spreading for the Josephine Ophiolite, and Implications for Jurassic Accretionary Events along the California Margin

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Ophiolites with Jurassic petrogenetic ages occur in the western Sierra Nevada and Klamath Mountains, California Coast Ranges, and probably underlie much of the California Great Valley. The Josephine ophiolite of the western Klamath Mountains represents one of the most complete, intact, and best studied of theJurassic ophiolites. A fracture zone history of the ophiolite is indicated by a thin crustal section, highly fractionated ferrobasalts, and a distinctive olistostrome locally overlying the ophiolite interpreted as the sediment fill of a fracture zone valley. Orientations of sheeted dikes, transform remnants, and upper mantle flow fabrics all indicate a sea-floor spreading direction and transform motion parallel to the continental margin. Likewise, some dike orientations and fracture zone features of the Sierra Nevada and Coast Range ophiolites suggest spreading and transform motion parallel to the continental margin. The Great Valley is a major morphotectonic feature that may have originated as a large transform valley that in later Cretaceous time became a forearc basin. Geophysical lineaments of the Valley along with fracture zone features of the northern Coast Range ophiolite and southern Sierra Nevada suggest a left-stepping family of fracture zones in and around the margin of the Great Valley. It is suggested that Jurassic ophiolites of California record major sinistral-sense transform motion and related oblique spreading oriented parallel to the continentalmargin. Such motion may be linked to the Mojave-Sonora megashear and reflects decoupling between North American and Pacific basin plates during rapid northwestward motion of the North American plate.
Identification of protein coding regions in RNA transcripts

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Massive parallel sequencing of RNA transcripts by the next generation technology (RNA-Seq) is a powerful method of generating critically important data for discovery of structure and function of eukaryotic genes. The transcripts may or may not carry protein-coding regions. If protein coding region is present, it should be a continuous (spliced) open reading frame. Gene finding in transcripts can be done by statistical (alignment-free) as well as by alignment based methods. We describe a new tool, GeneMarkS-T, for ab initio identification of protein-coding regions, complete or incomplete, in RNA transcripts assembled from RNA-Seq reads. Important feature of GeneMarkS-T is unsupervised estimation of parameters of the algorithm that makes unnecessary several conventional steps used in the gene prediction protocols, most importantly the manually curated preparation of training sets. We demonstrate that i/the GeneMarkS-T self-training is robust with respect to the presence of errors in assembled transcripts and ii/accuracy of GeneMarkS-T in identification of protein-coding regions and, particularly, in prediction of gene starts compares favorably to other existing methods.
A pulsed superthermal beam source for metastable atomic and molecular species

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Describes the construction and characterisation of a pulsed, superthermal molecular beam source incorporating a rotor accelerator and a synchronously pulsed electron bombarder. The addition of the pulsed bombarder greatly improves the kinetic energy resolution of the superthermal metastable atomic and molecular beams, particularly for light particles at low velocities and eliminates problems of 'wrap-around' at low velocities. The optimum conditions of resolution at a desired signal level are discussed: a typical velocity distribution for Ar(3P2) at a most probable beam velocity of 1500 m s-1 would have a standard deviation sigma approximately=0.07.
LET THEM HAVE DOMINION OVER ALL THE EARTH: ARE CHRISTIANS ANTI-ENVIRONMENTAL?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

ABSTRACT: A common assumption is that the Christian religion is an obstacle to the environmental cause, and Christians have been seen as unsympathetic to environmental issues. This may be due in part to Lynn White&apos;s now-famous article, &quot;The Historical Roots of Our Ecological Crisis, &quot; published in Science magazine in 1967. White&apos;s paper posits that the Western paradigm, heavily influenced by traditional Christian theology, sets humans apart as masters of nature. Thus Christianity, from its injunction in Genesis to dominate all the earth, must be responsible for a large share of the extensive ecological destruction that began with the Industrial Revolution. A number of researchers have attempted to test White&apos;s hypothesis through survey data, comparing numerous measures of environmental sensitivity between Christians and non-Christians. This paper analyzes the findings of 14 such studies conducted between 1984 and 2007. It concludes that while these studies provide valuable insights into the environmental attitudes of different religious traditions, they do not achieve a consensus, nor do they adequately test White&apos;s thesis.
Fuzzy logic based energy balance routing algorithm in wireless sensor networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Energy is one of the major constraints of conventional Wireless sensor network as these networks depends on battery power. Hence, the energy efficient operations are mandatory to improve the performance and life of WSN. Therefore, the energy consumption of WSN will be addressed with novel schemes of Fuzzy logic with energy metric and compare with the conventional method of Flow augmentation routing algorithm. Network Simulator2 is used for simulation and results shows that Fuzzy Logic network lifetime is most effective when compared to existing methods under various traffic load conditions.
