I Want to Watch this! An Evolutionary Perspective on the Popularity of Sports

There are many different sports, and some are more popular for watching than others. The present paper attempts to address the question why sports vary in popularity. To this end, an evolutionary framework is employed that indicates that sports have evolved to enable the reliable exchange of information of unobserved traits. Six of these traits are nominated, namely, physical strength, stamina, speed, dexterity, aggression and team spirit. On this basis, it is predicted that sports which require higher competence in these traits, and thus are better in transferring information on these dimensions, are more popular than sports which require less competence. Analysis on data based on 34 different sports supports this prediction. The implications of these finding are further discussed.
Refinement of the Lugano Classification lymphoma response criteria in the era of immunomodulatory therapy.
Venue: Blood

Uniformly adopted response criteria are essential for assessment of therapies incorporating conventional chemotherapy and chemoimmunotherapy regimens. Recently, immunomodulatory agents, such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, have demonstrated impressive activity in a broad range of lymphoma histologies. However, these agents may be associated with clinical and imaging findings during treatment suggestive of progressive disease (PD) despite evidence of clinical benefit (eg, tumor flare or pseudo progression) Considering this finding as PD could lead to patients being prematurely removed from a treatment from which they actually stand to benefit. This phenomenon has been well described with checkpoint blockade therapy in solid tumors and anecdotally seen in lymphoma as well. To address this issue in the context of lymphoma immunomodulatory therapy, a workshop was convened to provide provisional recommendations to modify current response criteria in patients receiving these and future agents in clinical trials. The term "indeterminate response" was introduced to identify such lesions until confirmed as flare/pseudo progression or true PD by either biopsy or subsequent imaging.
Significance Of Life Skills Education

Adolescence is a period when the intellectual, physical, social, emotional and all the capabilities are very high, but, unfortunately, most of the adolescents are unable to utilize their potential to maximum due to various reasons. They face many emerging issues such as global warming, famines, poverty, suicide, population explosion as well as other issues like alcoholism, drug abuse, sexual abuse, smoking, juvenile delinquency, anti social acts, etc. that have an adverse effect on them and others too, to a large extent. The cut throat competition, unemployment, lack of job security, etc. are some of the major concerns for the educated and as a result, they are caught in the mad race. This new challenge requires immediate and effective responses from a socially responsible system of education. 'Education' is important, but education to support and live life better is more important. It has been felt that life skills education bridges the gap between basic functioning and capabilities. It strengthens the ability of an individual to meet the needs and demands of the present society and helps in dealing with the above issues in a manner to get desired behavior practical. Imparting life skill training through inculcating life skill education will help youth to overcome such difficulties in life. The present paper focuses on the importance of life skills education and the benefits of imparting life skill education in our curriculum i.e. developing social, emotional thinking skills in students, as they are the important building blocks for a dynamic citizen, who can cope up with future challenges, and survive well.
Supplier selection in closed loop supply chain by an integrated simulation Taguchi DEA approach
Venue: J. Enterp. Inf. Manag.

Reverse logistics refer to processes related to the reuse of products. The role of suppliers' performance is crucial in achieving quality, cost, service and delivery aims of a supply chain. The selection of suppliers is regarded as one of the critical issues encountered by purchasing and operations managers in a supply chain to enhance organization's global marketplace competitiveness. Most of the supply chain models are rather complex problems. Consequently, it is impossible to propose systematic models to handle them. Therefore, in this paper a new integrated approach based on experimental design and computer simulation is proposed for supplier selection. The paper aims to discuss these issues.  In this study, a simulation approach is implemented to determine certain equivalent of parameters values in a CLSC network design which cannot be computed through mathematical model. Suppliers' order quantities are investigated by Taguchi method for planning time horizon.
Copper phytoremediation potential of Calandula officinalis L. and the role of antioxidant enzymes in metal tolerance.
Venue: Ecotoxicology and environmental safety

Cu phytoremediation potential of an ornamental plant, Calandula officinalis, was explored in terms of growth responses, photosynthetic activities and antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, CAT and GPX. The results showed that this plant had high Cu tolerance of up to 400 mg/kg, which is far above the phytotoxic range for non hyperaccumulators. It grew normally in soils at all the doses (150 400 mg/kg) without showing external signs of phytotoxicity. At 150 mg/kg, flowering was augmented; root and shoot biomass, root lengths and leaf soluble protein contents remained same as that of the control. However, chlorophyll and carotenoid pigment contents declined significantly along with significant elevations in lipid peroxidation, at all the doses. Elevations of antioxidant enzymes reflected stress as well as probable mitigation of reactive oxygen species due to Cu stress. Except for the highest conc. (400 mg/kg) leaf accumulation of Cu was higher than root accumulations. The Cu accumulation peaked at 300 mg/kg Cu in soil, with leaf and root accumulations to be respectively, 4675 and 3995 ug/g dry wt. far more than the minimum of 1000 ug/g dry wt. for a Cu hyperaccumulator. The plant root at all the doses tolerated Cu, with the tolerance index ranging from 94 62.7. The soil to plant metal uptake capacity, indicated by extraction coefficient and the root to shoot translocation, indicated by translocation factor, at all the doses of Cu were >1, pointed towards efficient phytoremediation potential.
Interactive effects of phosphorus and Pseudomonas putida on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L. growth, nutrient uptake, antioxidant enzymes and organic acids exudation.
Venue: Plant physiology and biochemistry PPB

Phosphorus (P) availability in alkaline soils of arid and semi arid regions is a major constraint for decreased crop productivity. Use of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) may enhance plant growth through the increased plant antioxidation activity. Additionally, PGPR may increase nutrient uptake by plants as a result of induced root exudation and rhizosphere acidification. The current study was aimed to investigate combined effects of P and Pesudomonas putida (PGPR) on chickpea growth with reference to antioxidative enzymatic activity and root exudation mediated plant nutrient uptake, particularly P. Half of the seeds were soaked in PGPR solution, whereas others in sterile water and latter sown in soils. Plants were harvested 8 weeks after onset of experiment and analyzed for leaf nutrient contents, antioxidant enzymes activities and organic acids concentrations. Without PGPR, P application +P) increased various plant growth attributes, plant uptake of P and Ca, soil pH, citric acid and oxalic acid concentrations, whereas decreased the leaf POD enzymatic activity as compared to the P deficiency. PGPR supply both under P and +P improved the plant growth, plant uptake of N, P, and K, antioxidative activity of SOD and POD enzymes and concentrations of organic acids, whereas reduced the rhizosphere soil pH. Growth enhancement by PGPR supply was related to higher plant antioxidation activity as well as nutrient uptake of chickpea including P as a result of root exudation mediated rhizosphere acidification.
High frequency vibration improve callus growth via antioxidant enzymes induction in Hyoscyamus kurdicus
Venue: Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC)

Effect of high frequency vibration on growth rate, membrane stability and activities of some antioxidant enzymes were studied in callus tissues of Hyoscyamus kurdicus. Calli initiated from leaf (LE) shoot (SE) and root (RE) explants, and sinusoidal vibrations at 0, 50, 100 and 150 Hz for 30 min were applied on the H. kurdicus calli. Results showed that sinusoidal vibration at 50 and 100 Hz promoted the growth rate as compared to control, and the optimum growth was found at 50 Hz. Sinusoidal vibration increased significantly protein and proline contents and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and peroxidase (POX) enzymes, and decreased total carbohydrate, H2O2 level and CAT activity as compared to control. Lipid peroxidation also decreased under sinusoidal vibration in all the calli, and the maximum percentage of decrease was observed at 50 Hz. Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated different isoform profiles in vibration treated and untreated plants concerning antioxidant enzymes. The responses of different types of calluses were different, and RE callus showed the highest growth, membrane stability and antioxidant enzymes activity as compared to LE and SE calli. These results suggest sinusoidal vibration at optimum frequency could improve callus growth by induction of antioxidative enzymes activity and membrane stability in calli of H. kurdicus.

This paper presents the findings of a study carried out in the academic year 2014 2015 at the faculty of Education of the University of Murcia with first year degree students in Primary Education studying Research and ICT. The study started with the application of the DIGCOM questionnaire to analyze the digital competences of 134 students. The questionnaire served as an initial task to help students reflect on their digital competences. The subject was developed around tasks which adopted a transversal approach and used the nature of the contents itself to direct and improve students' digital competencies. Finally, the initial questionnaire was reformulated and run in order to ascertain the students' self perception of their improvement in these competencies through the tasks they had performed. Below we present the tasks carried out, the organization of each subject and the most relevant data regarding the self perception of digital competencies of the future primary school teachers enrolled at the University of Murcia. The data reveal, on the one hand, that the students participating consider themselves to be competent in the most basic aspects of digital competencies and, on the other, their perception that the work done in the subject has helped them quite a lot in improving their competencies.
Innovation in Layer by Layer Assembly.
Venue: Chemical reviews

Methods for depositing thin films are important in generating functional materials for diverse applications in a wide variety of fields. Over the last half century, the layer by layer assembly of nanoscale films has received intense and growing interest. This has been fueled by innovation in the available materials and assembly technologies, as well as the film characterization techniques. In this Review, we explore, discuss, and detail innovation in layer by layer assembly in terms of past and present developments, and we highlight how these might guide future advances. A particular focus is on conventional and early developments that have only recently regained interest in the layer by layer assembly field. We then review unconventional assemblies and approaches that have been gaining popularity, which include inorganic/organic hybrid materials, cells and tissues, and the use of stereocomplexation, patterning, and dip pen lithography, to name a few. A relatively recent development is the use of layer by layer assembly materials and techniques to assemble films in a single continuous step. We name this "quasi" layer by layer assembly and discuss the impacts and innovations surrounding this approach. Finally, the application of characterization methods to monitor and evaluate layer by layer assembly is discussed, as innovation in this area is often overlooked but is essential for development of the field. While we intend for this Review to be easily accessible and act as a guide to researchers new to layer by layer assembly, we also believe it will provide insight to current researchers in the field and help guide future developments and innovation.
Influence of MWCNTs modified by silane coupling agent KH570 on the properties and structure of MWCNTs/PLA composite film
Venue: Journal of Polymer Research

Composite films based on poly(lactic acid)(PLA) filled with modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared by casting/solvent evaporation technique and investigated for their properties and structures. MWCNTs were modified by coupling agent KH570 which can improve the dispersion of MWCNTs and then enhance the comprehensive properties of PLA. The influences of modified conditions, including the amounts of KH570, the reaction temperature and time, were analyzed. And also the structures and properties of composite films were characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG) The two components of the composite films, WMCNTs and PLA, had excellent compatibility. The addition of MWCNTs modified by coupling agents KH570 was beneficial for the crystallization of PLA, and the toughness of composite films was also improved. When the reaction temperature was 70 degC, reaction time was 6 h, and the amount of KH570 was 3 respectively, the obtained composite films had the perfect comprehensive properties.

Laguna Grande se ha convertido en el receptor de aguas residuales del municipio Maturin. Sin embargo, muchas personas utilizan el agua de esta laguna para riego y pesca (destinada al consumo y venta) sin considerar los efectos negativos en la salud publica. Se planteo analizar algunos parametros fisico quimicos y microbiologicos del agua de Laguna Grande, parroquia La Pica, Maturin, estado Monagas, Venezuela con el fin de evaluar la calidad del agua para uso agricola, durante los meses de enero hasta junio de 2013. Se determino la temperatura, transparencia, conductividad electrica, solidos disueltos totales, pH, oxigeno disuelto y profundidad del agua y como variables microbiologicas como coliformes totales, coliformes fecales y Escherichia coli. Se encontro que las variables de calidad del agua, difieren significativamente (p 0,0001) entre los sitios y meses de muestreo. Todos los sitios evaluados presentaron contaminacion microbiana de moderada a alta, especialmente en los meses de mayor incidencia de lluvia debido al arrastre de sedimentos de los Canos (Juanico y Manteco) De acuerdo al tipo de agua establecida por el Decreto 883 (G/O de la Republica de Venezuela No 5021, del ano 1995) este cuerpo se considera de alto riesgo desde el punto de vista de salud publica presentando condiciones microbiologicas del tipo 6 (aguas destinadas a la navegacion y generacion de energia) PALABRAS CLAVE: Embalses naturales, parametros fisicos, parametros quimicos, Escherichia coli.  Laguna Grande has become the recipient of wastewaters from Maturin Municipality. However many people use the water from this lagoon for irrigation and fishing purposes (for consumption and sale) without considering the potential negative effects on public health. Therefore, it was proposed to analyze some physical chemical and microbiological variables of the water body of Laguna Grande, Parish La Pica, Maturin Monagas State, Venezuela in order to assess the water quality for agricultural use during the months of January through June 2013. Temperature, transparency, electrical conductivity, total dissolved solids, pH, dissolved oxygen and water depth, and microbiological variables such as total coliforms, fecal coliforms and Escherichia coli were evaluated. It was found that the variables of water quality differ significantly (p 0.0001) among sampling sites and months. All sites evaluated showed moderate to high microbial contamination, mainly during the months of highest rain due to the runoff carried by creeks (Juanico and Manteco) According to the type of water established by the Venezuelan Gazette decree 883, this water body is considered of high risk from the public health point of view, presenting microbiological conditions of the type 6.

Sustainability assessment and prioritisation of e waste management options in Brazil.
Venue: Waste management

Brazil has an increasing rate of e waste generation, but there are currently few adequate management systems in operation, with the largest share of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) going to landfill sites or entering informal chains. The National Solid Waste Policy (2010) enforces the implementation of reverse logistics systems under the shared responsibility of consumers, companies and governments. The objective of this paper is to assess sustainability and prioritise system alternatives for potential implementation in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. Sustainability criteria and decision alternatives were defined by elicitation of stakeholders. The adopted multicriteria approach combines Life Cycle Assessment with qualitative evaluations by a small sample of regional experts with knowledge of the problem. The recommended system consists of a hybrid WEEE collection scheme with delivery points at shops, metro stations and neighbourhood centres; a pre treatment phase with the involvement of private companies, cooperatives and social enterprises; and full recycling of all components in the country.
Profil du dirigeant et adhesion a l'argument economique de la responsabilite sociale en petite entreprise

Plusieurs travaux recents portant sur la responsabilite sociale (RS) et le developpement durable (DD) dans les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) ont montre que les dirigeants des entreprises de petite taille adoptent souvent des pratiques durables non pas uniquement (ou essentiellement) par conviction, mais aussi (ou surtout) parce qu'ils en retirent, ou esperent en retirer, des benefices de type economique. L'objet principal de cette etude est d'analyser l'influence des caracteristiques individuelles de ces dirigeants sur leur adhesion a l'argument economique de la responsabilite sociale de leur entreprise (RSE) L'observation a ete realisee sur 188 entreprises canadiennes de moins de 100 salaries. Les resultats montrent que le genre, l'age, l'experience et la formation du dirigeant n'expliquent pas l'adhesion a l'argument economique de la RSE. En revanche ses valeurs personnelles, apprehendees par son ethique et son sentiment d'appartenance a un espace geographique local, de meme que la recherche de perennite de l'entreprise, sont positivement liees a l'argument economique de la RSE. En particulier, les resultats des analyses montrent un effet positif significatif de l'ethique activiste du dirigeant sur la conviction que cela permet d'acquerir de la legitimite et d'acceder a de nouveaux marches.
Les enfants de couples mixtes et leur rapport a leur pays etranger d'origine Une identite symbolique affective fondee sur le lien de filiation

Etudier l'identite des enfants de couples mixtes permet d'eclairer les debats contemporains portant sur le controle de l'immigration et de l'integration des populations issues de l'immigration. Une telle entreprise rend de plus visibles les facteurs susceptibles d'influencer l'identite nationale. Cet article s'attache a analyser le caractere pratique ou symbolique de l'identification nationale en reference au pays d'origine du parent migrant, a partir des discours identitaires d'une centaine d'enfants de couples mixtes rencontres en France, en Allemagne et au Royaume Uni. L'identification des enfants de couples mixtes a leurs origines nationales etrangeres semble symbolique, c'est a dire elective plutot que due a la pression communautaire. Elle se fonde sur l'affectif et le lien de filiation avant tout. Si au Royaume Uni, cette identite symbolique s'ajoute a une multitude d'autres identites, en Allemagne, elle enrichit le sentiment d'appartenance au pays etranger d'origine existant. En France, elle compense l'absence d'identifications autres qu'en reference a la nation francaise.
Severe Childhood Autism: The Family Lived Experience.
Venue: Journal of pediatric nursing

This research examined the experiences of families living with a child with severe autism. There is limited literature on the experiences of families when a child has severe autism as distinct from milder autism and includes the voices of multiple family members. Van Manen's phenomenological approach was used for data collection and analysis. This approach allowed for the use of innovative data sources, including unstructured individual and family interviews, observations, and family lifelines (a pictorial, temporal picture with comments of the families lives) This study included 29 interviews with 22 participants from 11 families. All data were creatively triangulated and interpreted. Six essential themes were identified. First, families experienced autism as mysterious and complex because it is an invisible and unpredictable condition with diagnostic challenges. Second, families described severe autism behaviors that often caused self injury, harm to others and damaged homes. Third, profound communication deficits resulted in isolation between the family and child. Fourth, families discussed the unrelenting stress from lack of sleep, managing the child's developmental delays, coordinating and financing services, and concern for the child's future. Fifth, families described consequences of isolation from friends, school, the public, and health providers. Sixth, families portrayed their need for compassionate support and formed 'hybrid families' (nuclear, extended families and friends) to gain support. Study results can be utilized to educate nurses/other providers about the unique needs of families with children with severe autism and could influence health care policies to improve the care for families caring for children with severe autism.
