The Route towards Sustainability of Thai University Leaders

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Leaders, policymakers, and academics who apply to execute sustainable development policies and other activities within their organizations are known as sustainability leadership. It includes techniques, strategies, and systemic solutions for dealing with problems and driving institutional policies towards a sustainable structured organization. Universities play a crucial role in fostering sustainable development. However, at the university level, there is a lack of study on sustainable leadership. This study examined the notion of sustainable leadership using literature and empirical evidence. This study aimed to understand the featured characteristics of sustainable leaders in Thai universities and the major difficulties they encountered. Based on a purposive sampling strategy, an online questionnaire survey of fifty leaders from eight universities in Thailand was used in the research study. The data were collected and analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The respondents defined their leadership styles and typical qualities. In terms of competencies, respondents chose the capacity to innovate, think long-term, and handle complexity from a pre-defined list of alternatives. Besides, interdisciplinarity and understanding of organizational contexts, global concerns, and dilemmas were identified. Investments in education for sustainable development (ESD), sustainable procurement, and sustainable reporting were also addressed. Some of the difficulties in adopting sustainable leadership included a lack of enthusiasm, knowledge, tools, and resources. The findings could shed the light on sets of metrics that were developed and they will be implemented in the future to help leaders of universities streamline their performances of sustainability.
Driving-Point Synthesis of Resistor-Terminated Cascades Composed of Lumped Lossless Passive 2-ports and Commensurate TEM Lines

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

It has long been appreciated that microwave filters incorporating cascades of lumped reactive 2-ports and equi-delay ideal TEM lines offer many practical advantages over those designed with lines alone. To develop an insertion-loss design theory for these fiters comparable in precision to the one now available in the lumped case, it is first necessary to solve the intermediate problem of discovering necessary and sufficient conditions for a driving-point function to represent the input impedance of a resistor-terminated cascade of generic type. A simple decisive solution with the aid of the 2-variable positive-real concept is offered by 1) introducing the 1-variable real polynomial "resistivity matrix" associated with the driving-point function and 2) demonstrating that it must satisfy a fundamental structure constraint. Lastly, in addition to elucidating several important corollaries, the class of characteristic polynomials of all such microwave filters is given a description which reveals the difficulties to be overcome before an exact filter design procedure can be achieved. We wish to emphasize that the necessary and sufficient conditions for realizability presented in this paper are not algorithmic in character but explicit. To make the results accessible to as wide an audience as possible we have adopted a leisurely tutorial style with considerable attention paid to some of the more relevant background material.
An error analysis of GPS compass

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, analytical error characteristics of GPS compass which determines heading and elevation of the vehicle using carrier phase measurements from two antennas is given. The derived result gives clear analysis of error statistics on attitude determination using GPS carrier phase measurement. It shows the accuracy of measured attitude relies on satellite geometry, performance of receiver, baseline length, baseline configuration and nominal attitude of vehicle. It is also shown that to obtain more precise heading, longer baseline along the vehicle is preferred and the accuracy of heading is always better than that of elevation since the vertical measurement uncertainty caused by geometry of satellites affects only on that of elevation. These results can be applied to basic directions for attitude determination: to what direction should the baseline be located to minimize the error, which satellites should be selected to minimize the error. These must be important and useful pre-information in attitude determination problem. An application to real data shows that the predicted error by the proposed method coincides with that of experiments.
Metal−Organic Frameworks with Functional Pores for Recognition of Small Molecules

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Molecular recognition, an important process in biological and chemical systems, governs the diverse functions of a variety of enzymes and unique properties of some synthetic receptors. Because molecular recognition is based on weak interactions between receptors and substrates, the design and assembly of synthetic receptors to mimic biological systems and the development of novel materials to discriminate different substrates for selective recognition of specific molecules has proved challenging. The extensive research on synthetic receptors for molecular recognition, particularly on noncovalent complexes self-assembled by hydrogen bonding and metal-organic coordination, has revealed some underlying principles. In particular, these studies have demonstrated that the shapes of the supramolecular receptors play significant roles in their specific and selective recognition of substrates: receptors can offer concave surfaces that complement their convex targets. This Account describes our research to develop a synthetic molecular recognition platform using porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). These materials contain functional pores to direct their specific and unique recognition of small molecules through several types of interactions: van der Waals interactions of the framework surface with the substrate, metal-substrate interactions, and hydrogen bonding of the framework surface with the substrate. These materials have potential applications for gas storage, separation, and sensing. We demonstrate a simple strategy to construct a primitive cubic net of interpenetrated microporous MOFs from the self-assembly of the paddle-wheel clusters M(2)(CO(2))(4) (M = Cu(2+), Zn(2+), and Co(2+)) with two types of organic dicarboxylic acid and pillar bidentate linkers. This efficient method allows us to rationally tune the micropores to size-exclusively sort different small gas molecules, leading to the highly selective separation and purification of gases. By optimizing the strong interactions between open metal sites within porous MOFs and gas molecules such as hydrogen and acetylene, we have developed several MOF materials with extraordinary acetylene storage capacity at room temperature. We have also immobilized Lewis acidic and basic sites into luminescent porous MOFs to recognize and sense neutral and ionic species. Using the strategy to systematically immobilize different open metal sites within porous MOFs from the metalloligand precursors, we have developed the first microporous mixed-metal-organic framework (M'MOF) with enhanced affinity for hydrogen molecules, which successfully separated D(2) from H(2) using kinetic isotope quantum molecular sieving. Because we can functionalize the pores to direct their specific recognition of small molecules, the emerging porous MOFs serve as novel functional materials for gas storage, separation, heterogeneous catalysis, and sensing.

Thrombolytic treatment of pulmonary embolism: Life-saving option or unacceptable risk?

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Thrombolytic agents have been consistently demonstrated to dissolve pulmonary thrombi much more rapidly and effectively than heparin alone. Rapid resolution of pulmonary embolism (PE) is accompanied by a significant decrease in pulmonary artery pressure and an improvement in right ventricular function. However, it is no longer than 7 days until the findings of patients treated with heparin improve to a similar extent. Previous studies were not designed to determine whether this short-lasting difference in favor of thrombolysis can indeed affect the prognosis of patients with PE and, thus, justify the 1% (or even higher) risk of cerebral or fatal bleeding. Recently, two large registries demonstrated the importance of right ventricular dysfunction assessed by echocardiography as an independent predictor of mortality. Thrombolytic treatment was shown in one of these studies to be associated with a 50% reduction of death risk in clinically stable patients with right ventricular enlargement. It was, thus, possible to identify a group of patients with massive PE who are most likely to benefit from early thrombolysis. These findings now have to be confirmed by a prospective randomized trial which will compare thrombolysis with heparin alone in this high-risk patient population, focusing on clinical end points such as overall and event-free survival in the acute phase of PE.
Astrocytes and neurons coordinate their responsiveness to antidepressant treatment to modulate synaptic plasticity

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Depression is accompanied by impairment of astrocytic or neuronal activity in several areas of the CNS. Therefore, how both these cells respond to antidepressants (AD) is of interest. Using C6 cells, as model for astrocytes, and primary hippocampal neurons, we observed a time-dependent modulation of the ERK signalling pathway after acute treatment with various ADs. In particular, treatment of glia cells activated both ERK1/2, in contrast to other psychoactive drugs. When we examined the release of GDNF, a factor involved in synapse formation, we found that this was increased and the effect was ERK-dependent. On the contrary, hippocampal neurons showed a reduction of only ERK1 and inhibited neuronal activity after short term AD administration, as demonstrated by reduced c-Fos activity. Interestingly, this inhibitory effect was reversible after long term AD treatment. We then hypothesized that ADs acutely activate glia cells and simultaneously inhibit neurons to coordinate cell-type specific downstream physiological responses. A microarray screening of astrocytes' responses to acute AD treatment revealed that two transcripts were overexpressed: a factor crucial for extra cellular matrix formation (ECM) and a receptor regulating cellular migration/adhesion properties. We are now analyzing their involvement as mediators of AD impact on astrocyte-neurons interactions. We aimed at elucidating new mechanisms of AD action and clarify the role of astrocytes in psychiatric diseases.
Examples of LSP Securitization: A Principal Protected Fund

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This chapter illustrates some commonly utilized investment structures for life settlements and focuses attention upon differences in their financial risk aspects. Many commentators have recently compared financial risk management to gambling, although this is badly misguided. With a game of chance one can specify ahead of the gamble all possible outcomes and assign probabilities to them. This is the mathematics of closed systems and the principal theorems of academic finance, Arrow-Debreu and Lucas's rational expectations – are of this fixed point closed system form. In only too many cases in financial risk management is closed system models applied in the wrong circumstances, but with life settlements or mortality risk more generally people are not faced by such open system risk management concerns unless immortality becomes a realistic prospect. Indeed the effect of the time value of money is to limit the effect of mortality risk on current values.
Human Gene Mutation Database: towards a comprehensive central mutation database

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

We write in response to a number of very specific criticisms of the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD; www.hgmd.org) made in the recently published article by George et al ( see review on p 65 ).1 All seven claims made were amenable to empirical testing. Having tested these claims, we find all of them to be either false or highly misleading. In the text that follows, we refute or rebut each claim in turn. HGMD represents an attempt to collate known (published) gene lesions responsible for human inherited disease. HGMD comprises various types of germ-line mutation within the coding, splicing and regulatory regions of human nuclear genes. HGMD currently (1 December 2007) contains 76 011 different mutations in 2876 human genes. Claim 1: 143 genes are present in OMIM but have no corresponding HGMD entry Response —This claim is wholly misleading. OMIM (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man) records many types of gene mutation which HGMD does not, such as somatic lesions, neutral polymorphisms and mitochondrial mutations. It is therefore to be expected that there will be some entries in OMIM that do not have a corresponding HGMD entry. We received the list of 143 genes from George et al and performed our own analysis. After careful comparison with OMIM, we found the following:
Testing Fi hybrids of Brassica oleracea for sibs by seed isoenzyme analysis

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

SUMMARY Extracts of seeds of Brassica oleracea L. cultivars were separated by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gels and stained for 14 enzymes to investigate the possibility of utilising isoenzyme variation to determine sib frequencies in hybrid cultivars. Acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2), cr‐amylase (3.2.1.1), carboxylesterase (3.1.1.1), β‐galactosidase (3.2.1.23), β‐glucosidase (3.2.1.21), leucine aminopeptidase (3.4.11.1) and peroxidase (1.11.1.7) reactions gave discrete bands. Three broad zones of acid phosphatase activity occurred and control of banding patterns in the intermediate zone by a series of co‐dominant alleles was confirmed. The locus is designated acp‐1. Sib frequencies could be estimated in eight of 21 F 1 , cultivars examined, since their parent lines were homozygous for different acp‐1 alleles. This method of estimation has several advantages and offers a practical alternative to current methods. Routine determination of sib frequencies by using any of the other enzymes investigated is impractical.
A Distributed Power Amplifier Design with a High Power Gain

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this paper we present a distributed power amplifier that has a good gain-bandwidth product in comparison with other recent discrete distributed power amplifiers. A TGF2023-01 bare die transistor with .25μm GaN HEMT technology is utilized in our work. Our distributed power amplifier provides a better matching that leads to a more flat frequency response and uses tapering technique for both gate and drain transmission lines to boost the output power and efficiency. This design demonstrates a 41.6 dBm saturated power and a 22.2 dB small signal gain from DC to 3.4 GHz with a power added efficiency (PAE) of 27%.
Wellness Tourism in Bali: Is it Possible?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Bali is known as a leading tourist destination abroad, with various attractions that attract both international and local tourists. Among these attractions, Wellness Tourism has emerged as the top choice for tourists in Bali. Wellness Tourism aims not only to promote health and wellness but also to offer unique and valuable experiences for tourists. However, despite its popularity, there has been no structured and systematic effort to integrate mental health-based tourism concepts. In addition, preserving the sacred values of local communities is important to maintain Balinese cultural heritage and wisdom. Implementing health tourism in the wrong way can threaten to undermine these sacred values, highlighting the importance of using the right marketing mix strategy. To find out more about this, a qualitative study was carried out using purposive sampling, involving observation, interviews and documentation. Analysis was carried out using NVivo software. The findings show that the development of sustainable health tourism in Bali has gone well, showing the effectiveness of the marketing mix approach without any manipulation.
Potential use of Lupinus exaltatus Zucc. (Leguminosae) as green manure in soils of Jalisco, Mexico

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The environmental impact generated by agriculture with excessive use of fertilizers has led to the search for alternatives to improve soil fertility. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of Lupinus exaltatus in terms of decomposition and mineralization of nitrogen (N) when incorporated into the soil as green manure (GM) and its effect on the growth of Triticum aestivum L. seedlings. Litter bags were used, with a total of 216 nylon bags (10 × 5 cm), in each bag were placed 5 g dry base of GM in the vegetative stage and flowering. Subsequently, the GM bags were placed separately Vertisol and Regosol soil at a depth of 5 cm; and every three weeks until the end of the incubation, three bags were recovered per treatment. For evaluation of the effect GM on T. aestivum growth experiment was established in pots with soil Regosol, it consisted of incorporating 50 and 34 g dry base of the GM (equivalent to 10 and 15 t.ha-1). The GM in the vegetative stage lost an average of 83,52 % of its initial weight, while in flowering the loss was 76,49 %, the mineralized N was higher in Regosol soil than in Vertisol with 74,02 % and 70,58 % respectively. The wheat seedlings presented 30 % more dry matter and N with GM than the control treatment. L. exaltatus had a rapid decomposition and mineralization of N in the first stages of incubation.
Risk of ischemic stroke associated with low-dose oral contraceptive use: a meta-analysis

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Context: Oral contraceptive (OC) use has been shown to be associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke. However, most studies were conducted before low-dose OC became available. Objective: To determine whether low-dose OC use is associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke Data Sources: All relevant human-subject and English-language studies in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Science Citation Index from January 1970 through February 2005 Study Selection and Data Extraction: All published studies of OC or estrogen with any type of stroke as an outcome were included. Studies were excluded if they included populations at high risk for ischemic stroke or did not include low-dose OC use, ischemic stroke, or a control group. Data Synthesis: A meta-analysis of the nine included studies showed positive association between current low-dose OC use and ischemic stroke (Overall pooled odds ratio [OR], 2.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.7 - 2.7). Compared to never users, current users had slightly higher risk (OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.4 - 3.2) and former users had significantly lower risk (OR, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.5 - 0.7). Current users of second and third generation OC had 2.4 times (95% CI, 2.0 - 3.0) and 2.0 times (95% CI, 1.3 - 3.0) increased risk of ischemic stroke, respectively, compared to former or never users. The independent effect of low-dose OC use on the risk of ischemic stroke was stronger among women less than 35 years, nonsmokers, and normotensive women. Conclusion: Current use of low-dose OC compared to former or never use is associated with about two times increased risk of ischemic stroke. However, considering its health benefits and effectiveness of birth control and very low incidence of ischemic stroke in young women, use of low-dose OC is generally safe.
Bounds of Efficiency at Maximum Power for Normal-, Sub- and Super-Dissipative Carnot-Like Heat Engines

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The Carnot-like heat engines are classified into three types (normal-, sub- and super-dissipative) according to relations between the minimum irreversible entropy production in the "isothermal" processes and the time for completing those processes. The efficiencies at maximum power of normal-, sub- and super-dissipative Carnot-like heat engines are proved to be bounded between $\eta_C/2$ and $\eta_C/(2-\eta_C)$, $\eta_C /2$ and $\eta_C$, 0 and $\eta_C/(2-\eta_C)$, respectively. These bounds are also shared by linear, sub- and super-linear irreversible Carnot-like engines [Tu and Wang, Europhys. Lett. 98, 40001 (2012)] although the dissipative engines and the irreversible ones are inequivalent to each other.

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the significance and the role of supplier rating as a formalised supplier quality measure to achieve better- negotiated prices and to identify price premium resulting from improved rating.Methodology/Approach: Data from real B2B environment of electronic reverse auction SW solution ProeBiz were obtained and processed. Data from the reverse rating approach were used where the default rating value is 1 and improvements of rating lead to decreasing the rating value. Except standard descriptive statistics, non-parametric correlation and Kruskal-Wallis tests, the knowledge discovery techniques by decision trees CHAID algorithm were used.Findings: From our empirical research results, there is the evidence of a significant positive relation of supplier quality or rating improvements on a negotiated price for suppliers. Improving rating from the default value (1.00) to (0.98-0.95) can lead to better- negotiated prices for suppliers in English auction expressed as price premium in the value of 4%.Research Limitation/implication: Research has several limitations, esp. in the size of the sample and sectorial view as the research is based on data from construction, electro-mechanics and logistics sector.Originality/Value of paper: The paper is original and not published in other publications.
