Preschool Children's Anticipation of Recipients' Emotions Affects Their Resource Allocation
Year: 2015

The present study investigated the impact of preschoolers' anticipation of recipients' emotions on their resource allocation decisions. Three to six year old children participated in one of three different scenarios before performing a resource allocation task. In the Other condition, children were led to think about another person's emotions when being shared with or not being shared with. In the Self condition, children were led to think about their own emotion when being shared with or not being shared with. In an epistemic control condition, children were asked to think about another person's knowledge state. The results showed that children were able to attribute different emotions to the respective recipient when being shared with or not being shared with. Children in the Other condition and the Self condition were more likely to allocate resources to the other when decisions were not associated with costs. Moreover, correlational analyses demonstrated that the more negatively children rated the emotion of the recipient when not being shared with the more they were to allocate resources to the recipient. This indicates that children's inclination to allocate resources to another person can be promoted by their awareness of a recipient's negative emotions when not being shared with.
Bioactive glass in tissue engineering.
Venue: Acta biomaterialia
Year: 2011

This review focuses on recent advances in the development and use of bioactive glass for tissue engineering applications. Despite its inherent brittleness, bioactive glass has several appealing characteristics as a scaffold material for bone tissue engineering. New bioactive glasses based on borate and borosilicate compositions have shown the ability to enhance new bone formation when compared to silicate bioactive glass. Borate based bioactive glasses also have controllable degradation rates, so the degradation of the bioactive glass implant can be more closely matched to the rate of new bone formation. Bioactive glasses can be doped with trace quantities of elements such as Cu, Zn and Sr, which are known to be beneficial for healthy bone growth. In addition to the new bioactive glasses, recent advances in biomaterials processing have resulted in the creation of scaffold architectures with a range of mechanical properties suitable for the substitution of loaded as well as non loaded bone. While bioactive glass has been extensively investigated for bone repair, there has been relatively little research on the application of bioactive glass to the repair of soft tissues. However, recent work has shown the ability of bioactive glass to promote angiogenesis, which is critical to numerous applications in tissue regeneration, such as neovascularization for bone regeneration and the healing of soft tissue wounds. Bioactive glass has also been shown to enhance neocartilage formation during in vitro culture of chondrocyte seeded hydrogels, and to serve as a subchondral substrate for tissue engineered osteochondral constructs. Methods used to manipulate the structure and performance of bioactive glass in these tissue engineering applications are analyzed.

Direct and Indirect Effects of Transformational Leadership on Volunteers' Intention to Remain at Non profit Organizations
Year: 2020

espanolLa literatura sobre liderazgo ha proporcionado suficiente evidencia de que ciertos estilos de liderazgo incrementan la satisfaccion, el compromiso y la permanencia de los empleados. Sin embargo hay pocos estudios sobre el efecto de los estilos de liderazgo en los voluntarios. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo investigar la posible influencia del liderazgo transformacional en la permanencia del voluntariado. Nuestra primera hipotesis es que un estilo de liderazgo transformacional del coordinador de voluntariado incrementa la intencion de permanencia. Nuestra segunda hipoteis es que esta relacion esta mediada por las variables del modelo de las tres fases del voluntariado (satisfaccion, compromiso organizacional e identidad de rol) Para poner a prueba estas hipotesis se encuesto a una muestra de 417 voluntarios (73% mujeres) de 17 organizaciones sin fines de lucro, con una media de edad de 44 anos. Los resultados conjuntos del analisis de regresion multiple y del path analisis respaldaron el modelo propuesto (CFI, GFI y NFI .99, RMSEA EnglishLiterature on leadership has provided sufficient evidence that leadership styles increase satisfaction, commitment, and retention of employees. However, there are few studies on the effects of leadership styles on volunteers. This study aims to investigate the possible influence of transformational leadership style on retention of volunteers. Our first hypothesis is that if a volunteer coordinator has a transformational leadership style, there is a higher intention to remain. Our second hypothesis is that this relationship is mediated by the variables of the three stage model of volunteers' duration of service (satisfaction, organizational commitment, and role identity) To test these hypotheses, a sample of 417 volunteers (73% women) from 17 non profit organizations, with an average age of 44 years, was surveyed. Joint results of a multiple regression analysis and path analysis supported the proposed model (CFI, GFI and NFI .99, RMSEA
Automatically Generating Wikipedia Info boxes from Wikidata
Venue: WWW
Year: 2018

Info boxes provide a summary of the most important meta data relating to a particular entity described by a Wikipedia article. However, many articles have no info box or have info boxes with only minimal information; furthermore, there is a huge disparity between the level of detail available for info boxes in English articles and those for other languages. Wikidata has been proposed as a central repository of facts to try to address such disparities, and has been used as a source of information to generate info boxes. However, current processes still rely on human intervention either to create generic templates for entities of a given type or to create a specific info box for a specific article in a specific language. As such, there are still many articles of Wikipedia without info boxes but where relevant data are provided by Wikidata. In this paper, we investigate fully automatic methods to generate info boxes for Wikipedia from the Wikidata knowledge graph. The primary challenge is to create ranking mechanisms that provide an intuitive prioritisation of the facts associated with an entity. We discuss this challenge, propose several straightforward metrics to prioritise information in info boxes, and present an initial user evaluation to compare the quality of info boxes generated by various metrics.
Preliminary Assessment of the Possibility of some Phenomena Detection in Building Physics with the Use of the Stock Markets Technical Analysis
Year: 2020

The subject of the paper is an assessment of the possibility of transferring stock markets technical analysis as the method of some phenomena detection in building physics, especially in case of microclimate research in some kind of closed large volume rooms, where the huge number of people is staying the same time. Paper is based on Author's microclimate research in construction and environmental engineering (building physics) and researching the impact on the microclimate of heat emissions from humans in large volume buildings. The research was based on an attempt to answer the question of whether there are universal dependencies between the specific areas of economy and engineering. The question was if some specific methods used in financial decisions, e.g. technical indicators using moving averages and other mechanisms, which have so far only been used in stock markets technical analysis, can be transposed to some phenomena research in area of building physics.
Fuzzy IP Controller for Voltage Regulation in a Stand Alone Microgrid System
Year: 2018

This paper presents a method that combines fuzzy inference system and Integral Proportional named Fuzzy IP controller to regulate an independent microgrid voltage with a distributed energy resource unit. The unit employed photovoltaic (PV) array with DC voltage converted to three phase AC voltage. The control design was carried out through modeling and simulation using Matlab software environment. Transfer function with the 2x2 structure using system identification has estimated the non linear plant model. Two controllers transformed the a b c to the d q axis coordinates of voltage to simplify linear control design. An oscillator is applied to set frequency according to the recommendation. The results show that the compensated case study system using Fuzzy IP with disturbance tracked the setpoint excellently and it regulated the voltage properly including frequency control using internal oscillator. The paper presents performance superiority of the proposed method over PI control by comparing the transient response, the mean squared error, and the root mean squared error.
Foundational roles for action representations: Comment on "Action semantics: A unifying conceptual framework for the selective use of multimodal and modality specific object knowledge" by van Elk, van Schie, and Bekkering.
Venue: Physics of life reviews
Year: 2014

Embodiment of conceptual knowledge is one of the most influential ideas to sweep the landscape of cognitive psychology in recent decades  and as the review by van Elk, van Schie, and Bekkering [6] makes clear, it has deeply affected related subfields as well. We have substantial evidence to support the proposal that sensory and motor representations can affect perceptual and cognitive experiences and that these representations are likely to be integrated in some way with conceptual knowledge. The hard work of distinguishing the functional and epiphenomenal contributions that sensorimotor representations make to processes such as object identification and language comprehension must now begin in earnest  Toward that end, van Elk et al. have provided a framework for understanding some of the contextual influences that govern the involvement of action representations in conceptual processing. They suggested that this framework generates testable predictions regarding the distinction between multimodal and modality specific representations and the hierarchical control of action. Genuine predictions are very hard to come by when working with frameworks rather than computational models, and what van Elk et al. deliver actually turns out to be suggestions for research questions that might be addressed rather than clear predictions about the results that experiments should produce. Such caution is wise because it is becoming clear that what might be seen as clear and straightforward predictions about the nature and function of action representations often fail when put to empirical test (see  for examples involving mental simulation and language comprehension) A striking case of failed expectations regarding action representations comes from a single cell recording study of hand movements in monkeys [5] Animals were trained to move their hand forward and to the right or left to contact an illuminated target. They did so while viewing a video image of their hand and the indicated target, rather than viewing the hand and target directly. Distinct populations of neurons in premotor cortex fired when the hand moved to the left versus the right. Rather than coding hand movements directly, however, these populations were actually coding a higher level action goal. This fact was cleverly revealed when the experimenters displayed on the monkey's monitor not a literal image of their moving hand, but rather a mirror image. Thus, a rightward movement of the hand effected a leftward movement of the image of the hand on the monitor. To capture a target appearing on the left side of the monitor, therefore the monkey was required to make a physical movement of the hand to the right.

Year: 2012

Cette etude transpositive traite la question des relais entre un nouveau programme de la filiere technologique tertiaire (Sciences et Technologies de la Gestion) et sa mise en oeuvre par deux enseignantes via le meme manuel scolaire. L'application de cette reforme concerne de nouveaux savoirs de psychologie et une nouvelle demarche d'enseignement Observation Analyse Conceptualisation (OAC) Nous etudions quatre etapes de la chaine transpositive pour les concepts de psychologie Attitude et comportement qui sont l'objet de cette reforme analyse a priori des savoirs de psychologie, analyse du programme, analyse d'un manuel et analyse de pratiques de classes de deux professeures d'economie gestion. L'analyse a priori fait apparaitre deux types d'obstacles a la construction des savoirs issus de la psychologie. L'analyse du contrat didactique permet d'examiner les roles des enseignantes et des eleves dans la construction du savoir en lien avec la demarche OAC. Nous examinons la facon dont les enseignantes, les auteurs du programme et ceux du manuel se confrontent aux obstacles epistemologiques inherents aux concepts psychologiques en question. Nous discutons la facon dont enseignantes et auteurs du manuel composent avec l'injonction de la demarche OAC, elle meme source d'obstacles.
Measuring Compassion Fatigue
Year: 2007

This manuscript provides practitioners a gateway into understanding assessment instruments for compassion fatigue. We first describe and then evaluate the leading assessments of compassion fatigue in terms of their reliability and their validity. Although different instruments have different foci, each described instrument measures at least one component of compassion fatigue. The final section discusses three factors in selecting a compassion fatigue measure: the assessment domain or aspect of compassion fatigue to be measured; simultaneous measurement, and; timeframe of what is being measured. Finally, we caution about interpreting scores since the measures were developed as screening devices.
"Nothing Can Stop Me!" Perceived Risk and Travel Intention Amid the COVID 19 Pandemic: A Comparative Study of Wuhan and Sapporo
Venue: Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism 2021
Year: 2020

The global tourism industry has been devastated by the COVID 19 pandemic due to strict travel restrictions imposed by most countries. In order to achieve a swift post pandemic recovery, it is important to understand what psychological obstacles people would face when making travel decisions. Building upon the dual route theory of information processing, this study examined and compared how the perceived risk of COVID 19 would affect people's travel intentions in the Japanese city of Sapporo and the Chinese city of Wuhan through two rounds of data collection. While both cities were hit hard by the COVID 19 pandemic at an early stage, the cumulative numbers of confirmed human cases and the levels of intervention adopted were largely different. Results from the present study showed that risk perception of COVID 19 had a negative effect on people's travel intentions in Sapporo. However, no significant effect of COVID 19 perception could be observed in post lockdown Wuhan. Meanwhile, although the dual route structure of information processing was obtained in Sapporo and post lockdown Wuhan, neither routes seemed to predict the perceived risk of COVID 19 in Wuhan when lockdown restrictions were still in place. Several theoretical and practical implications concerning the results are discussed in this study.

This study investigates Vietnam as an offshore outsourcing destination for Finnish companies for developing their software products and related services. The research was undertaken by reviewing the literature of a) offshore outsourcing, b) offshore software production, c) information technology industry in developing countries, especially in Vietnam and d) approaches for outsourcing to developing countries and to Vietnam. A conceptual model of software development through offshore outsourcing was developed. The study found impending challenges as well as potential in the Vietnamese software outsourcing industry. In addition, it provides valuable information for practitioners interested in outsourcing to Vietnam and for further research within the area.
Cornelia de Lange syndrome in diverse populations
Venue: American journal of medical genetics. Part A
Year: 2019

Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a dominant multisystemic malformation syndrome due to mutations in five genes NIPBL, SMC1A, HDAC8, SMC3, and RAD21. The characteristic facial dysmorphisms include microcephaly, arched eyebrows, synophrys, short nose with depressed bridge and anteverted nares, long philtrum, thin lips, micrognathia, and hypertrichosis. Most affected individuals have intellectual disability, growth deficiency, and upper limb anomalies. This study looked at individuals from diverse populations with both clinical and molecularly confirmed diagnoses of CdLS by facial analysis technology. Clinical data and images from 246 individuals with CdLS were obtained from 15 countries. This cohort included 49% female patients and ages ranged from infancy to 37 years. Individuals were grouped into ancestry categories of African descent, Asian, Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Caucasian. Across these populations, 14 features showed a statistically significant difference. The most common facial features found in all ancestry groups included synophrys, short nose with anteverted nares, and a long philtrum with thin vermillion of the upper lip. Using facial analysis technology we compared 246 individuals with CdLS to 246 gender/age matched controls and found that sensitivity was equal or greater than 95% for all groups. Specificity was equal or greater than 91% In conclusion, we present consistent clinical findings from global populations with CdLS while demonstrating how facial analysis technology can be a tool to support accurate diagnoses in the clinical setting. This work, along with prior studies in this arena, will assist in earlier detection, recognition, and treatment of CdLS worldwide.
Comparative study on the model of maternity and child care institutions

To investigate the existing three models of maternal and child health care service institutions,compare their advantages and disadvantages,and select the most suitable form in line with women and children's health demand in China. Systematic literature retrieval and data capture were carried out:including: maternal and child health policy environment,maternal and child health development status and other related theories and research results.Three distinctive grades of maternal and child care service centers in three different provinces from the south,east and middle part of China as contrast research objects were chosen by using sampling survey.Investigation on institutions,service targets and interviews with key personnel were carried out.Function and operation status of the three kinds of the institutions were analyzed.The efficiency of the three kinds of maternal and child health care service models and the data of the service targets were comparatively analyzed. The benefit of the three kinds of maternal and child health care institutions was diffirent. The three in one model(the combination of :clinical service,health care service and prevention was the most suitable model for the maternal and child health development and in line with the demand of women and children health care.It was beneficial for the realization of their function.It was also beneficial for the improvement of their social role.It would be of low investment,high efficiency and strong competitive.It is suggested that government should further support this three in one model for the better development of the maternity and child care institutions.
Review artitle Review: Traditional ecological knowledge of tribal communities of North East India
Year: 2020

Tynsong H, Dkhar M, Tiwari BK. 2020.  Traditional ecological knowledge of tribal communities of North East India.  Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) refers to the knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous and tribal people relating to the understanding of structure and functioning of neighboring natural ecosystems and their use for human welfare. In this paper, we have reviewed the literature relating to TEK held by the tribal and other traditional societies of North East India. The region is very rich in TEK pertaining to species, ecosystems, and their interactions including their sustainable management and utilization in forestry, fisheries, agriculture, food, crafts, dye, and health care. Some of these TEK based knowledge systems are at par or even superior to the resource management practices evolved under the ambit of modern knowledge. Though a substantial chunk of TEK of tribal communities of North East India has been documented, huge treasures of such knowledge remain unreported and hence are on the verge of being lost.
A systematic review of quality of life research in medicine and health sciences
Venue: Quality of Life Research
Year: 2019

PurposeQuality of life (QOL) is an important concept in the field of health and medicine. QOL is a complex concept that is interpreted and defined differently within and between disciplines, including the fields of health and medicine. The aims of this study were to systematically review the literature on QOL in medicine and health research and to describe the country of origin, target groups, instruments, design, and conceptual issues.MethodsA systematic review was conducted to identify research studies on QOL and health related quality of life (HRQOL) The databases Scopus, which includes Embase and MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched for articles published during one random week in November 2016. The ten predefined criteria of Gill and Feinstein were used to evaluate the conceptual and methodological rigor.ResultsQOL research is international and involves a variety of target groups, research designs, and QOL measures. According to the criteria of Gill and Feinstein, the results show that only 13% provided a definition of QOL, 6% distinguished QOL from HRQOL. The most frequently fulfilled criteria were: (i) stating the domains of QOL to be measured; (ii) giving a reason for choosing the instruments used; and (iii) aggregating the results from multiple items.ConclusionQOL is an important endpoint in medical and health research, and QOL research involves a variety of patient groups and different research designs. Based on the current evaluation of the methodological and conceptual clarity of QOL research, we conclude that the majority QOL studies in health and medicine have conceptual and methodological challenges.
