New UWB free-space method for the classification and characterization of dielectric objects

This paper presents a new approach for the accurate free-space characterization of irregularly shaped and arbitrarily oriented dielectric objects. The objects under test are illuminated by UWB-pulses and the scattered pulses are collected by an array of receiving antennas. The scattered pulses contain information about the geometrical properties as well as the dielectric properties; a multivariate calibration method is supposed to be able to separate these properties. A classification algorithm is applied prior to the multivariate calibration. It provides a classification into two classes, low or high permittivity. The statistical calibration method is then applied separately in each class. This leads to a significant improvement of the accuracy of the determination of the dielectric properties compared to processing without classification.

Topological complexity, asphericity and connected sums

We show that if a closed oriented $n$-manifold $M$ has a non-trivial cohomology class of even degree $k$, whose all pullbacks to products of type $S^1\times N$ vanish, then the topological complexity $\mathrm{TC}(M)$ is at least $6$, if $n$ is odd, and at least $7$ or $9$, if $n$ is even. These bounds extend and improve a result of Mescher and apply for instance to negatively curved manifolds and to connected sums with at least one such summand. In fact, better bounds are obtained due to the non-vanishing of the Gromov norm. As a consequence, in dimension four, we completely determine the topological complexity of these connected sums, namely we show that it is equal to its maximum value nine. Furthermore, we discuss realisation of degree two homology classes by tori, and show how to construct non-realisable classes out of realisable classes in connected sums. The examples of this paper will quite often be aspherical manifolds whose fundamental groups have trivial center and connected sums. We thus discuss the possible relation between the maximum topological complexity $2n+1$ and the triviality of the center for aspherical $n$-manifolds and their connected sums.

The Impact of Perception Related Social Media Marketing Applications on Consumers’ Brand Loyalty and Purchase Intention

Social media offers a social interaction environment where consumers have the opportunity to communicate with brands, exchange ideas with other users, produce content and influence the masses. Brands also create various social media marketing applications by turning these opportunities in their favor. In this study, it was aimed to measure the effect of consumer perception on marketing applications of brands on Instagram pages and their impact on brand loyalty as well as purchase intention. In this context, the research model developed was tested on Beykent University students. Data obtained by the survey method were analyzed using SPSS and Amos package programs. According to research findings, the functional value, hedonic value and self-brand image congruency perceptions towards the Instagram page of the brand in question positively affected the purchase intention, whereas the social value and co-creation perceptions did not have a significant effect on purchase intention. The functional value, social value and self-brand image congruency perceptions towards the Instagram page of the brand in question positively affected brand loyalty, whereas the hedonic value and co-creation value perceptions were found to be unrelated to brand loyalty. Furthermore, it was observed that brand loyalty mediates the whole effect of the functional value and co-creation perceptions towards the Instagram page of the brand in question on purchase intention.

An evaluation of the rates of repeat notifiable disease reporting and patient crossover using a health information exchange-based automated electronic laboratory reporting system.

Patients move across healthcare organizations and utilize services with great frequency and variety. This fact impacts both health information technology policy and patient care. To understand the challenges faced when developing strategies for effective health information exchange, it is important to understand patterns of patient movement and utilization for many healthcare contexts, including managing public-health notifiable conditions. We studied over 10 years of public-health notifiable diseases using the nation's most comprehensive operational automatic electronic laboratory reporting system to characterize patient utilization patterns. Our cohort included 412,699 patients and 833,710 reportable cases. 11.3% of patients had multiple notifiable case reports, and 19.5% had notifiable disease data distributed across 2 or more institutions. This evidence adds to the growing body of evidence that patient data resides in many organizations and suggests that to fully realize the value of HIT in public health, cross-organizational data sharing must be meaningfully incentivized.

V-22: Dual-Use Technology or Red Herring?

The V-22 Osprey has been a pawn in the battle between requirements and costs almost from its inception. The major factors with regard to the future of the V-22 are a combination of economic, political and military considerations. It is well known that a coalition of industry, congress and covertly the Marine Corps are on one side of the argument facing the administration and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) on the other. Each side has invoked arguments either for or against the program in the areas of economics (cost) and utilization (need) requirements.

Single-Element Remote-PPG

Camera-based remote photoplethysmography technology (remote-PPG) has shown great potential for contactless pulse-rate monitoring. However, remote-PPG systems typically analyze face images, which may restrict applications in view of privacy-preserving regulations such as the recently announced General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union. In this paper, we investigate the case of using single-element sensing as an input for remote-PPG extraction, which prohibits facial analysis and thus evades privacy issues. It also improves the efficiency of data storage and transmission. In contrast to known remote-PPG solutions using skin-selection techniques, the input signals in a single-element setup will contain a non-negligible degree of signal components associated with non-skin areas. Current remote-PPG extraction methods based on physiological and optical properties of skin reflections are therefore no longer valid. A new remote-PPG method, named Soft Signature based extraction (SoftSig), is proposed to deal with this situation by softening the dependence of pulse extraction on prior knowledge. A large scale experiment validates the concept of single-element remote-PPG monitoring and shows the improvement of SoftSig over general purpose solutions.

Labour Migration to the Northern Nigerian Tin Mines, 1903–1945

The study of migrant labour in Africa has tended to emphasize social form rather than historical context. This study of the immense migrant labour force that worked the Northern Nigerian tin mines is placed in the context of the ongoing subsumption of labour and existing social relationships by capital. Colonial conquest was required for the establishment of tin mining in Nigeria on a capitalist basis to serve the industrial needs of the West. Pre-colonial social organization prevented the release of sufficient labour for this purpose. After conquest, a migrant labour force was built up in conjuncture with a growing reserve army of labour by means of cash taxation, penetration of the market, weakening of slavery and state use of forced labour. In the second decade of the twentieth century there was substantial pressure from mineowners for the colonial regime to institute Rhodesian-style labour recruitment methods, but this was ultimately rejected because of the costs involved, the desire to encourage cash crop growth and the overarching aim of social stability. As a result, it was largely market forces which threw up the pool of labour that worked the mines, notably from the cash crop poor parts of Northern Nigeria and neighbouring French colonies. Initially, migrant labour was the most satisfactory option for many Northern Nigerian peasants, whose wages earned most in the pre-World War I era. The purchasing power of a miner's wage tended to decline, but social forces continued to throw up cheap labour. In World War II, the state instituted forced labour to mine tin, but the scheme was expensive, unproductive and opposed by business. The 1940s represented the nadir of worker poverty and the war was followed by a period of heightened social and political resistance to capital and the state. The tin mines both helped to cause and profited from the decay of the older mode of production in Northern Nigeria.

The Body as a Traitor: Feminine Schizophrenia in the novels of Calixthe Beyala, Ananda Devi and Malika Mokeddem

Iconoclastic authors Calixthe Beyala, Ananda Devi, and Malika Mokeddem have generated a great deal of discourse on their radical feminist views through their Manichean portrayal of postcolonial societies. Relying on the female image as eroded, smothered, and dissipated, a figure gagged both by society and by her own helplessness, they describe postcolonial societies as patriarchal, corrupted, and apathetic as well as guilty of rejecting cultural recollection. In their novels, the symbolic authority held by the female body is conditional upon the desire, the gaze, the violence and the marginalized practices of the Other. The body in this case is uncoupled from the mind and experienced by the subject as an incoherent whole which brings about the presentiment of a transfigured existence. Despite the scars this rupture produces, the female protagonists still manage to redeem themselves, often by engaging in personal rebellions. Moreover, by disregarding the social torment they are forced to endure, women are able to reclaim the right to speak, to live, and to be free. This thesis advances the theory that most female protagonists are prone to schizophrenic behaviours as a means of survival. Marred by violence, anorexia, dissociation, withdrawal, anxiety, shame, self-mutilation, suicidal thoughts, sexual dysfunctions, amnesia or fragmented memory of traumatizing events, the female character has to negotiate her self-preservation. This work thus shows how such social torment is survived by resolving the affliction of physical and psychological trauma in the literary terms of schizophrenia. Consequently, this study analyses the literary manifestations of this affliction in Beyala, Devi, and Mokeddem's novels through the explosion of the corporal and the discursive modes of the female subject. By understanding survival as a "savoir-faire", we are thus able to restore an affective and powerful force to language, which ultimately allows for the reappropriation of the body to take place.

International standards of law-making: the concept and classifications

The article is devoted to the study of the concept of international legal standards and the definition of international standards of law-making, the establishment of their characteristic features, and their classification. It is noted that in modern conditions, the transformation of legal systems must comply with international standards, i.e., those value guidelines that are formed under the influence of the international community. International standards of lawmaking are a separate group of international legal standards that ensure the existence of the concept of the “ideal construction” of law, which, despite the existence of different legal systems, includes the achievements of the latter and serves as a benchmark for the development of effective and modern legislation. It is emphasized that international standards of lawmaking create ideological and value foundations, priorities, and general guidelines, given which, further reform and development of means of creating high-quality and effective legislation should take place to fully ensure the fulfillment by the state of its international obligations to ensure and protect human rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests. The author argues that international standards of law-making include the basic international standards in the field of human rights protection, which are enshrined in UN conventions and must be implemented by the participating states, UN and Council of Europe conventions on combating corruption, as well as many fundamental documents of the Venice Commission, which reveal the content of the principles of the rule of law, the practice of the ECHR in interpreting the provisions of the 1950 Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, etc. It is proposed to classify international standards of law-making according to: the territory (space) of their creation, the level of formal binding force, the form of enshrinement, and their content. It is emphasized that the content of international standards of lawmaking best reveals their specificity and provides their division into: international standards for the implementation of the principle of the rule of law; international standards for the formation of anti-corruption legislation and anti-corruption infrastructure; international standards for the foundations of democratic functioning of government bodies; international standards for European integration and harmonization with EU law.

The School Interference Questionnaire: Examining a Novel Measure of Mental Health–Related Academic Functional Impairment in Youth

This article reports on the development and initial psychometric properties of the School Interference Questionnaire (SIQ), a questionnaire designed to assess both academic functional impairment related to mental health problems and the type and frequency of school refusal behavior. Participants were 110 youth ages 13 to 18 years ( M = 15.41 years, SD = 1.42) admitted to an adolescent partial hospitalization program. The majority of participants identified as female (57.3%), Caucasian (59.1%), and non-Latino (70.0%). Internal consistency of the 12 SIQ core interference items was excellent (Cronbach’s α = .91). The factor structure suggested that a single factor was appropriate for the 12 school interference items. Correlations between the SIQ and other measures in this study provided support for construct validity. The average SIQ core interference item score showed evidence of convergent validity via correlations with measures of school refusal, global disability, and internalizing symptoms. The SIQ also exhibited no significant association with timing of study enrollment, suggesting evidence for divergent validity. Results provide initial evidence supporting the psychometric properties of this novel measure.

Alcoholics Fanonymous: The relationships between reasons for drinking, aggression, and team identification in sports fans

Prior research has illustrated that sport spectators, particularly those with higher team identification, display a willingness to engage in both hostile and instrumental aggressive acts towards opposing teams and officials. With alcohol consumption prominent at major sporting events across the United States, the relationship between drinking motivation and aggressive acts deserves greater scrutiny. Individuals may consume alcohol for a variety of reasons, such as for positive, social reasons or negative motives that seek to escape aversive features of the environment or one's personal issues. The present experiment explored the relationships between sport fans' reported motivation for alcohol consumption, various types of aggression, and team identification. Specifically, we examined positive (social) and negative (escape) reasons for drinking. We predicted that there would be positive relationships between (1) team identification and both negative and positive reasons for drinking, (2) team identification and both hostile and instrumental aggression, and (3) negative reasons for drinking and both hostile and instrumental aggression. In addition, we expected that positive reasons for drinking would be negatively associated with hostile and instrumental aggression. The results from our study provided partial support of our predictions. More highly identified fans reported a higher proclivity to perform hostile and instrumental acts compared to lower identified fans. Negative reasons for drinking were positively related to both types of aggression. Our experiment effectively replicates past research on aggression in sports fans. Future directions and implications of the current study are also discussed.
