CSR: Where is the Love?

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

As fully‐socialised beings, all human experience is characterised by communication and primarily facilitated by language. Every society seeks legitimation for its ideologies and practices and it legitimates itself chiefly through language. When employed as an instrument of governance, it can bring about social cohesion, also has the power to cause disintegration when consensus is absent, and can have serious consequences when its constituent parts are dismembered. This paper addresses the context in which value‐attribution and labelling takes place and examines the idea of CSR in terms of its lexicology or theoretical lexicography. In particular, the demands and imperatives incumbent on the word responsibility are explored according to its use as part of language, discourse and most significantly as a referent within the expression, corporate social responsibility. In the first part, it is suggested that this approach may provide clues as to the alleged failure, in spite of recent national and international endeavours, to provide any useful universal framework for ethically‐sound corporate behaviour. The second part constitutes a tentative inquiry into whether an alternative to the word responsibility might produce a better result. To this end, a specific definition of the word love is posited as a substitute or at the very least, acknowledged as a worthy driving force for responsible corporate citizenship.
Air pollution and terrain aerodynamics: a review of fluid-modeling studies at the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Fluid Modeling Facility

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

A review is given of recent fluid-modeling studies conducted at the EPA Fluid Modeling Facility of flow and diffusion in complex terrain. Estimates are given for the ratio of the maximum concentration on a hill surface to the maximum concentration in the absence of the hill. The ratio may be regarded as a terrain correction factor and is a function of hill aspect ratio (two-versus three-dimensional), hill slope, atmospheric stability, etc. For upwind sources, terrain correction factors are typically 1 to 2 for neutral flow over three-dimensional hills. Terrain correction factors as large as 10 to 15 were found for low sources placed downwind of two-dimensional hills of moderate to large slope. For strongly stable flow over three-dimensional hills, it is more useful to compare maximum surface concentrations with those at the centerline of the plume in the absence of the hill. These concentrations have been shown to be essentially equal.
Nutritional Status of Children (6-12 Years) Belonging to Scheduled Caste a Study in Samastipur District of Bihar

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Scheduled castes who constitute about one seventh of India's population are most deprived, down trodden, illiterate, neglected and weakest section of society. In Bihar, the scheduled caste, constitute, 14.5 per cent of the state population. They are the most economically and socially backward groups which are neglected in their nutritional status. Malnutrition is a serious problem which might threaten the health of the majority of population in the world. The nutritional and health status of the poor section of the society is more alarming.
A Geomechanical Modeling Approach In Deep Horizontal Well Development Designs

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Knowledge of a well-constrained geomechanical model provides valuable information for designing development wells more efficiently for drilling and completion in a mature gas field. This paper presents results of a recent geomechanical analysis designed to evaluate reservoir and overburden rock behavior in order to drill horizontal wells in Badak field, VICO Indonesia’s largest gas fields. During development of the geomechanical model, an enormous effort focused on maximizing the use of available information from all the Badak wells in the field. Data included open hole logs, core data, pore pressure data, minifrac data, high-resolution image logs, previous drilling experiences and regional studies. The synthesis of this data resulted in a well-constrained geomechanical model that could explain the previously unsuccessful and problematic horizontal and vertical wells; but more importantly, it provided the needed information to predict well performances for future designs that minimize the risks associated with future horizontal wells. VICO has implemented this geomechanical approach to designing and drilling wells as part of VICO’s low permeability development program. A deep horizontal well has successfully drilled to the main target using geomechanical modeling information.
Louis Pierre Gratiolet (1815-1865) and His Contribution to the Study of Cerebral Convolutions in Primates

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Louis Pierre Gratiolet (1815-1865) was one of the first modern anatomists to pay attention to cerebral convolutions. Born in Sainte-Foy-la-Grande (Gironde), he moved to Paris in 1834 to study medicine, as well as comparative anatomy under Henri de Blainville (1777-1850). In 1842, he accepted de Blainville’s offer to become his assistant at the Muséum d’histoire naturelle and progressively abandoned medicine for comparative anatomy. He undertook a detailed study of brains of human and nonhuman primates and soon realized that the organizational pattern of cerebral convolutions was so predictable that it could serve as a criterion to classify primate groups. He noted that only the deepest sulci exist in lower primate forms, while the complexity of cortical folding increases markedly in great apes and humans. Gratiolet provided the first cogent description of the lobular organization of primate cerebral hemispheres. He saw the insula as a central lobe around which revolved the frontal, parietal, temporal (temporo-sphenoidal) and occipital lobes. He correctly identified most gyri and sulci on all brain surfaces, introduced the term “plis de passage” for some interconnecting gyri, and provided the first description of the optic radiations. In the early 1860s, Gratiolet fought a highly publicized battle against Paul Broca (1824-1880) on the relationship between brain and intelligence. Gratiolet agreed that the brain was most likely the seat of intelligence, but he considered human cognition far too subtle to have any direct relationship with brain size. He argued that a detailed study of the human brain architecture would be more profitable than Broca’s vain speculations on the relationship between brain weight and intelligence, which he considered a monolithic entity. Despite remarkable scientific achievements and a unique teaching capacity, Gratiolet was unable to secure any academic position until three years before his sudden death in Paris at age 49.

Tongue and cheek metastases as the first clinical sign of a primary cancer.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Metastases to the oral cavity are rare and are most frequently seen in the jawbones. Soft tissue metastases as the first clinical sign of a metastatic cancer are quite exceptional. In this case report, we describe the history of a 67-year old patient presenting with painless oral lesions for 4 weeks. Biopsies showed metastases of an adenocarcinoma that was not yet identified. This case report highlights that an ENT physician should consider metastases to the oral cavity as part of the differential diagnosis in every patient with an uncommon, persistent oral lesion with unclear origin.
Modeling an ensemble of systems coupled by the Lennard-Jones interaction

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

A system of oscillators forming a 2D lattice featuring the Lennard-Jones interaction, represented as a mathematically averaged ensemble of almost identical systems, is numerically modeled. The results show that an unstable configuration of oscillators can be retained over a greater time interval as compared to that for a single square lattice. A total energy of the system constructed as a mathematically averaged ensemble of almost identical systems is conserved up to the moment of losing stability and is not conserved after that, whereas the total energy of each system in the ensemble is conserved.
Photoreceptors in Chemotrophic Prokaryotes: The Case of Acinetobacter spp. Revisited

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

Abstract A comprehensive description of blue light using flavin ( BLUF ) photosensory proteins, including preferred domain architectures and the molecular mechanism of their light activation and signal generation, among chemotrophic prokaryotes is presented. Light‐regulated physiological responses in Acinetobacter spp. from environmental and clinically relevant strains are discussed. The twitching motility response in A. baylyi sp. ADP 1 and the joint involvement of three of the four putative BLUF ‐domain‐containing proteins in this response, in this species, is presented as an example of remarkable photoreceptor redundancy.
The Effects of Process-Genre Approach on Academic Writing

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This study intends to find out the effectiveness of Process-genre Approach (PGA) on academic writing in English as a second language Students' essay writing. The purpose of this paper is to determine how far this current global approach can be of benefit for the development of academic writing skills of the university students who are learning English as a second or foreign language. The participants were subjected to pre-test and post-test before and after intervention respectively. The experimental group was taught with the Process-genre approach while the control group was taught with the product (traditional) approach. The two groups went through 6 weeks of training with the differ- ent approach. The participants are university undergraduate students. The groups had 40 students for each. The data was analyzed by using analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to compare the scores of the experimental group with that of the control group. The findings of the study show that, the experimental group outperformed the control group proving that PGA is effective in teaching academic writing in tertiary institutions. The participants are homogeneous at the beginning of the intervention with no significant difference in the pre-test scores of the two groups while there is significant difference in the post test of the two groups. The PGA group scored higher than the PA group proving that there is an impressive performance of the students in academic essay writing of the PGA group of students. Therefore, PGA is an effective approach to teaching academic writing if properly applied.

[Tomato R-protein Tm-2(2) gene interacting with ToMV movement protein triggered programmed cell death in tobacco transformants].

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

Tomato Tm-2(2) and ToMV MP gene are a pair of R-Avr mediated response genes. Tm-2(2) and MP gene expressed in tobacco transformants with single-copy integration respectively. Tm-2(2) transformants displayed virus-resistant specificity as the reaction of original Tm-2(2) tomato species in virus-inoculation test. The results of agro-infiltration experiment and transformant-crossing test between Tm-2(2) plants and MP plants indicated that: (1) Tm-2(2) and ToMV-MP maintained "Gene for Gene" characters in transgenic tobacco; (2) The interaction between Tm-22 and MP of ToMV could induce the programmed cell death in the host tobacco by exo-ethylene stimulation. This result will be useful in furthering understanding of molecular mechanism of Tm-2(2) interaction with ToMV-MP.
Morphology of the esophagus using formalin-fixed samples

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction: The esophagus is a muscular tube connecting the pharynx to the stomach, which carries food and liquid from the mouth into the stomach. Previous studies have not provided detailed descriptions of the conditions of the esophagus, as measured using standards prepared in formalin. Material and Methods: Post-mortem measurements can be important to assist in diagnosis of the pathology of the esophagus. In this work, measurements were made of 73 formalin-fixed esophagi obtained from autopsied patients who did not present any evidence of pathologies in this specific organ. The measurements of the esophagus were made after transverse section at the level of the lower border of the cricoid cartilage. Measurements of the organ were standardized as follows: esophageal length, external perimeter in the cardia, lower external perimeter, average external perimeter, and upper external perimeter. Results: The average height of the men in the study was 9.5 cm greater than the average height of the women. Correlation between the height of the individual and the esophagus measurements showed that the greater the height, the greater the length and upper external perimeter of the esophagus. A greater length was associated with a greater upper external perimeter. The cardia was larger than all the perimeters. The data showed that the esophagi were tubular in shape, except at the lower end, where the diameter was larger than in the other regions. Conclusion: These measurements should assist in the identification and elucidation of chagasic megaesophagus, idiopathic megaesophagus, and other esophagus-related disorders.
Magnetic and electric brain activity evoked by the processing of tone and vowel stimuli

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Sustained magnetic and electric brain waves may reflect linguistic processing when elicited by auditory speech stimuli. In the present study, only in the latency interval subsequent to the N1m/N1 has a sensitivity of brain responses to features of speech been demonstrated. We conclude this from studying the auditory-evoked magnetic field (AEF) and the corresponding evoked potential (AEP) in response to vowels and a tone. Brain activity was recorded from the left and the right hemisphere of 11 subjects. Three aspects of transient activity were examined: (1) the amplitudes and source characteristics of the N1m component of the AEF; (2) the amplitudes and source characteristics of the sustained field (SF), and (3) the corresponding amplitude characteristics of the AEP. Sustained potential amplitudes and SF root mean square amplitudes, as well as the dipole strength of the SF source, were found to be larger for vowel-evoked signals than for signals elicited by the tone stimulus. The amplitude and dipole strength effects had an interaction with hemisphere, with larger interhemispheric differences for the vowel condition, as well as larger tone-vowel differences of these parameters in the speech-dominant left hemisphere. No statistically significant hemisphere-by-stimulus-type interactions were found in N1/N1m amplitudes and N1m source parameters.

The basic reason of this effort is the paradigm shift in public service sector which has resulted in improved services in terms of quality and performance. The study was to evaluate level of satisfaction citizens derive from the services provided to them. Innovative project for Solid waste management system was investigated in Guimaraes, Portugal. Data collection was done using convenience sampling technique. Questionnaires were distributed to collect primary data from citizens of Guimaraes. Quantitative techniques were used to analyze data. The findings of the study indicated that citizens of Guimaraes are more satisfied with new and innovative method of service delivery as compared to the old conventional method. The study also revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between Public Service Delivery and Citizen Satisfaction. Findings may help improve public service delivery projects success rates.
[PP.03.12] SIGNIFICANT INTER-ARM DIFFERENCE IN BLOOD PRESSURE IS ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED ARTERIAL STIFFNESS AND ABDOMINAL OBESITY IN VERY ELDERLY HYPERTENSIVES

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: Inter-arm difference in blood pressure (BP) and orthostatic BP response have important prognostic significance in hypertensive patients. However, data on prevalence, predictors and clinical associations of those phenomena are controversial. The aim was to investigate inter-arm difference, orthostatic response and to establish their clinical associations in very elderly hypertensives. Design and method: 67 hypertensive subjects older than 80 years (mean age 84,1 ± 3,1 years, 25,5% male, mean clinic brachial SBP 134,8 ± 23,2 mm Hg) were included in cross-sectional study. Simultaneous bilateral brachial BP measurements were performed using oscillometric validated cuff-based device in supine position and then after 2 minutes of standing. Central pulse waveform characteristics and arterial stiffness parameters were estimated by BPLab Vasotens system. Results: The median of inter-arm difference in SBP (IADSBP) was 4,00 (2,5; 9,0) mm Hg. 25,4% participants had IADSBP of 10 mm Hg and more. Compared to others, those with IADSBP of 10 mmHg and more had significantly higher body mass index (31,4 ± 5,7 vs 28,5 ± 4,1 kg/m2, p < 0,05), waist circumference (116,3 ± 13,6 vs 107,7 ± 11,2 cm, p < 0,05) and pulse wave velocity in aorta (11,7 ± 1,5 vs 10,8 ± 1,7 m/s, p < 0,05). Positive correlation between IADSBP and augmentation index was revealed (r = 0,277, p < 0,05). Patients with asymptomatic orthostatic hypotension (OH) (22,4% participants) had higher levels of brachial SBP and pulse pressure (PP) while central BPs and markers of arterial stiffness did not differ from those without OH. Conclusions: Significant IADSBP is associated with increased arterial stiffness and abdominal obesity in very elderly hypertensive patients, whereas there was no evidence of interrelation between orthostatic response and arterial stiffness in such patients
