Challenging the stigma of Youthreach: Recognition, Interpersonal Relations and Narrative Stories.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This research project investigates the area of Youthreach education, exploring its status as a sector in Irish education. Specifically, it argues that Youthreach is often perceived as a lower status form of education and hence holds stigmatizing effects for the sector and its learners. This research intends to use the concept of recognition to explore the issue, and to begin to turn the tide on it through an active case study approach which will explore the following questions;\n1. What type of education is on offer in a Youthreach center?\n2. Using the concept of recognition, what status does Youthreach have in the Irish education system? Is it stigmatized as a form of education?\n3. How is the status of Youthreach education related to the early school leaving profile of its learners? How does the issue of class relate to this?\n4. How can Youthreach respond to these challenges?\n5. How do personal stories from Youthreach students transform attitudes of parents within these communities?\nThis research with Youthreach students, members of Two Parents Association of second level schools and a Youthreach coordinator highlighted the themes of i) interpersonal relationships and learning between teachers and students in Youthreach, ii) the role that social class plays in the misrecognition and stigma of education sectors such as Youthreach, iii) How recognition operates through the fear of the unknown and iv) the potential of individual stories about educational experiences to transform attitudes.\nThe research gives a platform through narrative research to three Youthreach students so that their voices, opinions and stories can be heard by parents within their communities. The research reveals the power of narratives for learning and attitudinal transformation based on discussion of their educational experiences. Their stories highlight the damaging effects of early school leaving and how they got their education back on track, with the assistance from the Youthreach programme. Such an initiative however also raises question about the scale of transformative learning and whether narratives can hold a longer – term impact.
Farmer’s knowledge of termite species and infestation in eastern Uganda

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Termites are very well recognized by farmers as pests and beneficial insects. To develop management options suitable to the needs of the farmers, it is essential to understand their management experience. This study was aimed at understanding farmer’s perception about termite management in eastern Uganda. The study covered over 84 villages located in seven districts of eastern Uganda. There were 420 respondents for the survey and a focus group discussion (comprised of eight to 15 participants) specifically with push-pull technology adopters found in four districts. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed using STATA (version 13). Respondents were diverse in terms of age, gender, level of education and marital status. According to the respondent’s termite damage can cause food insecurity and poverty. The prevalence of termites and damage potential varies across districts and type of crop and growth stage. Some are vulnerable at germination, some at vegetative and some at maturity stages. Averaged over three districts, farmers claimed that maize is more vulnerable to termite attack causing about 40% yield loss followed by beans, soybeans, and sorghum. Push-pull technology adopters stated that green leaf desmodium intercropped with maize to control major lepidopteran pests and a parasitic weed striga was vulnerable to termite attack. Although pesticide application can be an effective option, they claimed it is either expensive or not a lasting solution.
Why is Labour Protection for Temporary Migrant Workers so Fraught? : A Perspective from Australia

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The 21st century has witnessed a growth in temporary labour migration programs. Such a development is surrounded by fierce controversy over the effects of such programs on temporary migrant workers, their countries of origin and the host countries. One point of consensus is, however, clear: temporary migrant workers should effectively enjoy whatever legal protection is provided in relation to their working conditions. Yet, what is most uncontroversial may turn out to be the most complicated - evidence internationally and in Australia suggests that non-compliance with labour protection is widespread with temporary migrant work. Why is this the case? This paper analyses this important question through a focus on 457 visa workers and international student workers in Australia. It argues that non-compliance in this context is structural - it arises from the interaction of the vulnerability of temporary migrant workers, including their precarious migrant status, and employer practices in poorly regulated industries.
Will I Spend More in 12 Months or a Year? The Effect of Ease of Estimation and Confidence on Budget Estimates

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Consumers' budgets are influenced by the temporal frame used for the budget period. Budgets planned for the next month are much lower than recorded expenses, while those for the next year are closer to recorded expenses (study 1). The difficulty of estimating budgets for the next year imparts low confidence and leads to upward adjustment. When consumers' confidence in their estimates is increased (study 2), when their natural beliefs about the relationship between cognitive ease and accuracy are reversed (study 3), or when cognitive resources are constrained (study 4), consumers no longer adjust their budgets upward for the next year.

Lianas maintain insectivorous bird abundance and diversity in a neotropical forest

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract The spatial habitat heterogeneity hypothesis posits that habitat complexity increases the abundance and diversity of species. In tropical forests, lianas add substantial habitat heterogeneity and complexity throughout the vertical forest profile, which may maintain animal abundance and diversity. The effects of lianas on tropical animal communities, however, remain poorly understood. We propose that lianas have a positive effect on animals by enhancing habitat complexity. Lianas may have a particularly strong influence on the forest bird community, providing nesting substrate, protection from predators, and nutrition (food). Understory insectivorous birds, which forage for insects that specialize on lianas, may particularly benefit. Alternatively, it is possible that lianas have a negative effect on forest birds by increasing predator abundances and providing arboreal predators with travel routes with easy access to bird nests. We tested the spatial habitat heterogeneity hypothesis on bird abundance and diversity by removing lianas, thus reducing forest complexity, using a large‐scale experimental approach in a lowland tropical forest in the Republic of Panama. We found that removing lianas decreased total bird abundance by 78.4% and diversity by 77.4% after 8 months, and by 40.0% and 51.7%, respectively, after 20 months. Insectivorous bird abundance and diversity 8 months after liana removal were 91.8% and 89.5% lower, respectively, indicating that lianas positively influence insectivorous birds. The effects of liana removal persisted longer for insectivorous birds than other birds, with 77.3% lower abundance and 76.2% lower diversity after 20 months. Liana removal also altered bird community composition, creating two distinct communities in the control and removal plots, with disproportionate effects on insectivores. Our findings demonstrate that lianas have a strong positive influence on the bird community, particularly for insectivorous birds in the forest understory. Lianas may maintain bird abundance and diversity by increasing habitat complexity, habitat heterogeneity, and resource availability.

Wokół recepcji przekładów poezji Pabla Nerudy w Polsce

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

On the reception of Pablo Neruda’s poetry in Poland Translations of Pablo Neruda’s poetry started to be published in Poland after the second world war in the press, even in newspapers. Until the beginning of the 1960s only ideological poems which showed the poet’s involvement in the fight for communism were selected. First collections of his poems also contained similar compositions. By that time Polish critics and poets highly appreciated his work. However, the selection criteria for the poems to be translated and published strengthened the image of Neruda as a poet‑communist which proved to be long‑lasting and influenced his later reception in Poland in spite of the fact that his erotic and lyrical verses started to appear in the Polish press and anthologies. Therefore, today he is an almost forgotten author.
GENOTYPING OF Helianthus BASED ON MICROSATELLITE SEQUENCES

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Analysis of microsatellite sequences was used for estimation of genetic diversity of cultivated and wild sunflower and usefulness for genotype identification, genetic purity and “hybridity range” definition. In total 13 SSRs were tested. Unique alleles for some wild sunflower species were found. Eight out of 13 SSR loci were polymorphic for the investigated inbred lines. Four of the investigated microsatellites are suitable and sufficient for genome identification and determination of parentage of hybrids. A procedure is proposed for sunflower genotype registration based on DNA-typing.
Can visual information encoded in cortical columns be decoded from\n magnetoencephalography data in humans?

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

It is a principal open question whether noninvasive imaging methods in humans\ncan decode information encoded at a spatial scale as fine as the basic\nfunctional unit of cortex: cortical columns. We addressed this question in five\nmagnetoencephalography (MEG) experiments by investigating the encoding of a\ncolumnar-level encoded visual feature: contrast edge orientation. We found that\nMEG signals contained orientation-specific information as early as ~50ms after\nstimulus onset even when controlling for confounds, such as overrepresentation\nof particular orientations, stimulus edge interactions, and global form-related\nsignals. Theoretical modeling confirmed the plausibility of this empirical\nresult. An essential consequence of our results is that information encoded in\nthe human brain at the level of cortical columns should in general be\naccessible by multivariate analysis of electrophysiological signals.\n
Applying the Framework to Understand Why Utilities Are Distressed and Households Receive Poor Service

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Asserts that a utility (or firm) providing a public service like urban water supply and sanitation (WSS) in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) faces two proximate principal-agent relationships: the external relationship with political leaders and the internal relationship between top management and frontline workers. The relationship between citizens and political leaders (the social contract) sets the context within which political leaders maneuver between principals and agents. This social contract remains foundational for ensuring sufficient financing for the sector to avoid a structural mismatch between revenues and costs. Acting on the management problem, in turn, will increase the efficiency of service delivery. The logic of principal-agent theory shows that, for agents to have incentives or motivation to perform these tasks well, principals could alternatively rely on peer pressure, monitoring, and professional norms. In the MENA region, most utilities lack this kind of trust between parties—leading to a low-level equilibrium of low expectations and poor performance.
A New Grid Resource Management Mechanism Based on D-S Theory

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

There may be some malicious nodes in the Grid environment because the resource of nodes can access the Grid system freely. The number and qualities of this resource can be change dramatically and optionally, so it is possible to affect the utilization of Grid resource. Hence, the trust mechanism is widely used in the management of Grid. This paper proposes a new method to detect the behaviors of resource providers in Grid environments based on D-S theory. Through simulating experiments, this mechanism can record the behaviors exactly and prevent the malicious ones. Then it gives a strong support for resource scheduling in the Grid.

Limited Enforceable International Loans, International Risk Sharing and Trade

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This paper analyzes the impact of limited enforceable international loans on international risk sharing and trade fluctuations in a two-country two-good endowment economy. Our specification of the punishment threat allows the exclusion from trade to last only finitely many periods and distinguishes between financial autarky and full autarky. Quantitative results show that limited enforceability substantially alters cross-country consumption correlations and the dynamics of net exports. In contrast to existing studies, risk sharing is low for large elasticities of substitution between the domestic and foreign goods. However, it remains challenging to explain the high volatility of the terms of trade empirically observed.
Architecture Design for Joint Operation and Command Information System-of-Systems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Architecture is the key technology of System-of-Systems (SoS). Aiming at the problem of the "Huge System" with large-scale network based on military information system for joint operation and command, the new architecture framework and the new functional structure for Joint Operation and Command Information System-of-Systems (JOCISoS) were presented. The related concept of JOCISoS was defined. By the semantic analysis of information cognition, the improved Zachman framework was proposed, and the architecture of JOCISoS was built based on the semantics of information cognition. Aiming at the pivotal system - Information Network, the Cognitive Networks (CN) was imported. Being designed hierarchically, the multi-level functional structure for JOCISoS was built based on the CN.
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma presenting as intestinal obstruction: a case report

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is a rare variant of extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma occurring at mucosal sites. Gastric MALT lymphoma is well-described, but non-gastric MALT lymphomas, particularly small intestinal, ceacal, and appendiceal MALT lymphoma, are rare and present diagnostic problems. Intestinal MALT lymphoma is frequently diagnosed late and can be associated with nonspecific symptoms in patients.<br /><strong>Case presentation:</strong> A 69-year-old female with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hypothyroidism, admitted to the emergency room for 24 hours with colicky lower abdominal pain and vomiting, without bowel movements. Abdominal distension and right iliac fossa tenderness were noted on clinical examination. Imaging, however, suggested a closed-loop obstruction of a twisted segment of the ileum. A laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with resection and anastomosis was carried out on the patient. Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of MALT type arising from the terminal ileum, cecum, and appendix with ischemic changes<br />was identified by histopathological analysis of the resected specimen.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The importance of considering MALT lymphoma in the elderly with bowel obstruction, without an established chronic inflammatory or autoimmune condition, is emphasized in this case. Mechanical obstruction requires surgical resection, but systemic therapy is the treatment of choice for disseminated disease. Future research should address the role of molecular diagnostics and targeted therapies in non-gastric MALT lymphoma to enhance early detection and management programs.</p>
Analysis of the latch and breakdown phenomena in N and P channel thin film SOI MOSFET's as a function of temperature

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

A study of the latch and breakdown phenomena in thin film N- and P-channel SOI MOSFET's is performed as a function of temperature. For P-type MOSFET's, for which no investigation of the parasitic bipolar transistor has been carried out, we show that latch problems are observed in the subhalf-micrometer range, while this feature is emphasized in the micrometer range for N-channel transistors. In addition, it is demonstrated by theoretical considerations and experimental results that these parasitic effects are strongly reduced at liquid nitrogen temperature and vanish almost entirely at liquid helium temperature. Similar improvements are obtained at low temperature in both N and P-channel SIMOX MOSFET's.< >
Evaluation Method of Three-Dimensional and Multi-Dimensional All-Electric Intelligent Fishing Ground Operation Effect Based on Improved AHP Entropy Weight in Cloud Computing Environment

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Aiming at the problem that the existing system lacks multi-dimensional evaluation of all electric fishing grounds, a three-dimensional multi-dimensional all-electric intelligent fishing grounds operation effect evaluation method based on improved AHP-entropy weight (IAHP-EW) method under cloud computing environment is proposed. Firstly, based on the consideration of resource utilization and ecological level, a multidimensional comprehensive evaluation index system of intelligent fishing grounds is constructed from three aspects: economic benefits, social benefits and ecological benefits. Then, the least square method is used to couple the improved AHP and EW method, and the IAHP-EW method can comprehensively consider the subjective experience of experts and the objective measured data. Finally, combined with cloud computing technology and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation, the IAHP-EW method is used to achieve multi-dimensional evaluation of smart fishing grounds. Based on the experimental analysis of the proposed method in Taizhou Jiangyan Fishing Light Complementary Fishing Ground, the results show that the evaluation results of the IAHP-EW are more realistic, and the weights of economic, social and ecological benefits are 0.585, 0.081 and 0.334 respectively, and the comprehensive evaluation results are "good".
