Effect Online Game Addiction In Study Grades Among University Students

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This study is about the effect of playing various types of video games on the Universiti Malaysia Sabah students include Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) Kota Kinabalu, Sandakan, and Labuan. This study used a quantitative method with 180 respondents with a few variables such as hours spend, changes of daily routine, types of games, and the changes in their grade. To collect the data sample, this study used online forms to create surveys for the UMS students to answer all the questions provided based on their experience in either video, computer, or mobile games. The data reported that respondents spent more than four hours a week playing video games in which they spent more than half an hour each day playing video games. The data also reported that most students spent more than four hours a week to study. This means for each hour they played the reprimand themselves by studying or for each hour they studied, they rewarded themselves by playing video games. Any which is remarkable as most students can score a 3.00 and higher for their current CGPA even they are playing video games every day. Following this study, we determined that there are no negative effects of gaming and changes in a daily routine on the student's study grades, but it has been shown that games do have effects on the student’s grades throughout the semester. From all the existing studies on this field, the impact of video games on the grades of the students cannot be ignored.
REALITIES AND PROSPECTS OF UKRAINE BANKING SYSTEM

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The article deals with the necessity of effective banking system functioning for successful economic development. The Ukrainian banking sector under the conditions of unstable financial, economic and political situation is analyzed. The basic problems, which the banks faced by in the course of their business, such as a low credit and investment ratings, total distrust of financial institutions, rapid devaluation of the hryvnia, are grounded. It is represented the dynamics of the changes in the number of banking institutions, dynamics of indices of their activities, changes in the discount rate for lending of the real economy sector by commercial banks. It is found that reducing the number of banks would mean increasing their reliability. The reasons of commercial banks liquidation are determined. The necessity of nationalization of JSC "Privatbank" is grounded. On the base of the analysis the recommendations of stabilization the banking system, the main of which are the start of lending and effective risk management are offered.
Characterizing the Stock-Exchange from an Islamic Perspective, by: Seifuddin I. Tag el-Din, comment سوق الأسهم في اقتصاد إسلامي

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper is a pioneering attempt at exploring the normative rules governing exchange in an Islamic stock market, which may form the basis for building an efficient, vibrant and yet ethical financial system. The paper examines the external (pricing and informational) efficiency and internal (operational) efficiency criteria governing conventional stock markets. It asserts that the dominance of speculative motives (vs. that of real investment) and the nature of interaction among professional and non-professional market players, deprive the capitalist stock market of internal stabilizers and undermine its efficiency. And since efficiency in the financial market cannot be ensured by leaving it free and ngoverned, the paper makes a modest attempt at indicating some regulatory measures through reinforcing Islamic rules. Arguably, many of the assertions made by the author are sweeping and perhaps lack the necessary theoretical and empirical support. However, we believe, there is no reason to reject the same, precisely because, mainstream finance is equally inconclusive about the positive role of speculators in efficient markets. The study certainty highlights the need to test the alternative paradigm of speculation-free stock markets by asserting that such a market would have the minimum liquidity that is essential to its survival and smooth-functioning. The purpose of the discussion that follows is to develop the framework further and clarify certain areas of confusion. --
Application of machine learning algorithms to identify risk factors for depression in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: A Taiwan diabetes registry study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: We analyzed variables reported during routine clinical practice using a registrational database to estimate risk factors for depression in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: A Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) score of 15 was selected as the cut-off for clinically meaningful depression. Missing data was either filled in with a median value, the k -nearest neighbors’ method, or the entire variable was removed. Logistic regression, random forest, and decision tree machine learning models were used to decide which factors were most relevant to depression. The accuracy of each algorithm was evaluated with a testing set. Results: When all variables were included in the logistic regression model, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.81. In the random forest model, the most important factor was quality of life (QoL). Upon removing QoL-related variables, bloating, and autoimmune disease became the greatest contributing factors. Model accuracy was 83.1%. In the decision tree model, QoL was also observed as the most decisive factor. Upon removing QoL variables, bloating was the first node. Model accuracy was 82.5%. Conclusion: QoL, bloating, and autoimmune disease were the most important factors associated with depression in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.
LOGICS FROM QUANTUM COMPUTATION

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The theory of logical gates in quantum computation has suggested new forms of quantum logic, called quantum computational logics. The basic semantic idea is the following: the meaning of a sentence is identified with a quregister (a system of qubits) or, more generally, with a mixture of quregisters (called qumix). In this framework, any sentence α of the language gives rise to a quantum tree: a kind of quantum circuit that transforms the quregister (qumix) associated to the atomic subformulas of α into the quregister (qumix) associated to α. A variant of the quantum computational semantics is represented by the quantum holistic semantics, which permits us to represent entangled meanings. Physical models of quantum computational logics can be built by means of Mach–Zehnder interferometers.
Foucault and the ethics of subjectivity

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This chapter first argues that Michael Foucault was a modernist and that his work, especially in its late period, was saturated with the question of aesthetics. For him, this question was connected to the ultimately ethical question of autonomy. The concept of culture haunts, most generally, Foucault's nominalism. One can argue over what kind of nominalism it was that Foucault espoused exactly. The argument of the chapter is that Foucault's nominalism was strategic, even ultimately ethical, and not just an epistemic point of view, and not even a dynamic or dialectical nominalism. Foucault explains the relevance of the idea of an aesthetics of existence but not about what contemporary form it might take. To provide a theory of an aesthetics of existence would be to contradict the idea itself. The chapter discusses a theme, namely subjectivation. Subjectivation is invocated in the chapter as the idea of an 'aesthetic of existence'.
Detection of Efflux Activity in Macrolide Resistant Streptococcus pyogenes Obtained from Patients with Throat Infections

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Background: Streptococcus pyogenes are bacteria which cause a wide variety of clinical manifestations including pharyngitis. Macrolides are alternative treatment options in cases of penicillin allergy or penicillin treatment failure. Due to a global rise in the emergence of macrolides resistance among these bacteria, the need for easy and rapid identification of isolates over-expressing efflux is paramount. This study detected the efflux-pump mediated resistance in macrolide resistant Streptococcus pyogenes using the ethidium-bromide (EtBr)–Agar cartwheel method Methods: Overnight cultures of Streptococcus pyogenes isolates obtained from patients with throat infection were prepared. Agar plates containing EtBr of different concentrations were prepared. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazine (CCCP) was determined. Results: The isolates identified as isolates 190 (Reference strain), 22, 78, and 114 (iMLSB phenotypes) fluoresced at a concentration of 1.0 mg/l of EtBr; isolate 101 did not fluoresce even at a concentration of EtBr as high as 2.0 mg/l. The effect of ½ MIC of CCCP on the MIC of Erythromycin was tested and in the presence of CCCP at a concentration of 4μg/ml, the MIC of erythromycin was decreased by 2 to 4-fold. Conclusion: The ethidium bromide-agar cartwheel method provided an easy and instrument-free means by which rapid evaluation of antibiotic resistance through the use of efflux pumps in bacterial isolates can be conducted.
A Study on the Optimization of Distribution Routes for Fresh Food under Epidemic Situation

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

The optimization of distribution routes has always been a hot topic in the field of logistics management. Recently, the number of people dining out has decreased due to the epidemic, and it has become a trend to buy fresh food such as fruits and vegetables online. However, the users ordering online are scattered, and their demands are featured by small batches and high frequencies. Therefore, the distribution cost remains high and the efficiency is low. In this paper, the optimization model of distribution routes was constructed based on practical examples according to the current situation of fresh food distribution under the epidemic situation. The max-min ant colony algorithm was used to solve the established model to obtain a more optimized distribution scheme, and the influence of parameter fluctuation on the results was also discussed.
Evaluating heat stress in Australian wheat

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The historical effects of heat episodes on Australian wheat crops have not been well researched. A time series model was built using 1922-1994 wheat yields and climate records from a six wheat cropping shires in southern NSW, Australia. The model related yearly crop yields to growing season rainfall and High Degree Hours (HDH). HDH are a measure of damaging temperatures during the reproductive stages. The model was validated against later (1982-2008) climate and yield records. The finding was that wheat crops in south west NSW have historically suffered a yield loss of 15% due to HDH. There was an average 8.4% yield reduction when rainfall was 10% below average and a 5.3% yield reduction for each 1°C rise in average growing season temperature. The times series model results were compared with APSIM simulation predictions produced using the same climate records. Validation against observed yields (1982-2008) indicated the time series model predictions were statistically superior (time series/APSIM: RMSE=14.6/18.9, slope=0.95/0.85, R²=0.82/0.69.) \nField and greenhouse experiments were also conducted to establish if six overseas research genotypes were more heat tolerant than four local Australian varieties. The treatments were four days of up to 38°C at anthesis (greenhouse) and normal and late sowing dates in the field at Narrabri. The experiments showed superior yields for some of the overseas germplasm, compared to the local varieties, but the ranking of the varieties varied between testing environments and testing dates. There was a significant (P<0.01) genotype x environment interaction. The experiments that applied heat at anthesis (i.e. greenhouse) resulted in reduced grain numbers while the field experiments, where higher temperatures extended into grain filling, resulted in a reduction in grain weights.
Reassessing Conditional Cash Transfer Programs

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

During the past decade, the use of \n conditional cash transfer programs to increase investment in \n human capital has generated considerable excitement in both \n research and policy forums. This article surveys the \n existing literature, which suggests that most conditional \n cash transfer programs are used for essentially one of two \n purposes: restoring efficiency when externalities exist or \n improving equity by targeting resources to poor households. \n The programs often meet their stated objectives, but in some \n instances there is tension between the efficiency and equity \n objectives. The overall impact of a program depends on the \n gains and losses associated with each objective.
Daylight Control and Window Design In Apartments

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

<p>The window design in New Zealand apartments can be limited to their design qualities as they are required to meet the minimum code from Acceptable Solutions G7/AS2. The windows produced under the Building Code standard are not necessarily designed and positioned correctly to optimise light in terms of daylight distribution (Boubekri, 2014). Nor are they designed to provide liveable and habitable qualities where the occupants can sit, stand, or lie down. This can have negative implications on an occupant’s well-being (Bevins III et al., 2012, p. 31).</p> <p><br></p> <p>The aim of this thesis is to design windows that create habitable spaces and manipulate light rather than just being an opening in a wall. </p> <p><br></p> <p>This paper uses a research-through-design approach. Literature and precedent studies have been analysed to determine the importance of good quality window design that the occupants can inhabit. The strategy of this research is to address the current problem with the window design within the Natural Light Acceptable Solutions G7/AS method in New Zealand and compare it with new enhanced habitable window designs.</p> <p><br></p> <p>To understand the complexity of this, an apartment building has been designed as a testing framework. This framework is used to test quantitative and qualitative metrics. This framework also allowed testing against the Acceptable Solutions baseline method G7/AS and several new window designs. The baseline window solution was established and then compared against a new set of windows that have been designed for the potential to have better habitable qualities. The key simulation metric used is the Daylight Autonomy (DA), modelled through Honeybee heat maps.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The first concept set of windows provided good daylight distribution throughout the building. They also over-provided with excess daylight. Revising the window sizes provided for a more precise window design for each room. The size of the glazing changed, and the overall percentage of wall-to-glazing area decreased.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The Building Code Acceptable Solutions method designed windows with no habitable qualities. They were not designed to tilt towards the sun or respond to orientation and lacked important qualities that could improve the well-being and liveability of the occupants. Habitability starts when a window can provide more than just daylight provision. Designing windows that provide habitability qualities have been found to produce good quality daylight distribution, as well as provide a place where the occupants can sit, stand, lay down or put potted plants.</p> <p><br></p> <p>This thesis successfully revealed that new windows could be designed to meet the New Zealand Building Code and provide more habitable qualities, and are superior for the occupant’s well-being. </p>

Stability−Charge and Stability−Structure Relationships in the Binding of Dicarboxylic Ligands by Open-Chain Polyammonium Cations

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The stability of complexes formed by 5 dicarboxylic ligands with 11 open-chain polyammonium cations (40 systems) was studied potentiometrically, in aqueous solution, at 25 °C. In all the systems ALHr species (A = amine, L = dicarboxylic ligand, r = 1 ... n; diamines n = 3, triamines n = 4, tetraamines n = 4 or 5) were found. Formation constants for the various complexes studied in this work, together with data for the analogous systems previously studied (20 systems), were examined as a function of charges involved in the formation reaction and of the structure of both the dicarboxylic ligand and the polyammonium cation. Structure generally has little effect on stability, while charges play a fundamental role. The most general relationship, valid for all the complexes (the formation constants of 249 complexes were examined), is log K = 0.925(±0.010)ζ2/3 (ζ = |zanionzcation|). The likely role of the formation of these mixed species in the speciation of natural waters and biological fluids is also discussed.
Nanocomposite characterization and diagnostics tools

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

There is no a single revealing characterization method for dielectric materials due to the rather complex nature of the physical phenomena involved. Usually, the breakdown voltage measurement is commonly used as a criterion for design but it only gives very global information without insight of the material structure. Consequently, a full characterization requires developing and using several electrical properties measurements. Moreover, the other functional characteristics, e.g., optical, mechanical, and thermal, of the nanocomposite materials have also to be assessed. Indeed, for an application, the insulating material or material system must satisfy a matrix of properties. In the following paragraphs, it will become clear how to assess them. © 2006 IEEE.
Studies on utilization of gudmar (Gymnema sylvestre) dried extract based fennel RTS beverage

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Gymnema sylvestre is a reputed herb in the ayurvedic system of medicine.The phytoconstituents responsible for sweet suppression activity includes triterpene saponins known as gymnemic acids, gymnemasaponins, and a polypeptide, gurmarin.The herb exhibits a broad range of therapeutic effects as an effective natural remedy for diabetes.Efforts have been made to prepare gudmar dried extract.Physico-chemical properties of prepared extract were evaluated.On the basis of physico-chemical properties and gymnemic acid content gudmar dried extract was added at 0.75, 1.00 and 1.25 per cent for preparation of gudmar dried extract based fennel RTS beverage.Sugar was also replaced with aspartame, stevia and sucralose.The organoleptic test score indicated that among the fennel RTS beverages, the beverage with 1.0 per cent gudmar dried extract and sucralose as sweetner was accepted by panel members.TSS of the fennel RTS beverage was increased while acidity decreased with increase in proportion of gudmar dried extract.Selected fennel RTS beverage (1.0 % gudmar dried extract and sucralose as sweetner) was found to be rich in gymnemic acid content and organoleptically acceptable.
