Comparison of the Relationship Between Death Anxiety and Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms Among Norwegian and Turkish Female Psychology Students
Venue: Omega
Year: 2019

The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between death anxiety and depressive and anxiety symptoms among Norwegian and Turkish female psychology students. For this purpose, 304 participants were recruited, of whom 127 were Norwegian and 177 were Turkish. Participants' ages ranged from 18 to 35 years. The Beck Depression Inventory, the trait anxiety subscale of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory, and the Death Anxiety Scale were used to examine these relationships. The findings showed that death anxiety was significantly related to depressive and anxiety symptoms in both countries. Furthermore, Turkish participants scored higher on both death anxiety and depressive and anxiety symptoms than their Norwegian counterparts. The findings encourage researchers to focus more on the relationship between death anxiety and depressive and anxiety symptoms in a cross cultural frame.
Comparison of the effect of sodium bicarbonate and glycine air polishing systems on tooth surface roughness: An atomic force microscopic analysis.
Venue: Technology and health care official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
Year: 2020

A variety of prophylactic materials are used in the dental office for the removal of stains and calculus.  To evaluate tooth surface changes caused by the application of air abrasive powders (sodium bicarbonate, SBAP and glycine air powder, GPAP) along with scaling and root planing (SRP) under atomic force microscope (AFM) and to analyze the histological soft tissue changes caused by these agents, using light microscopy.  This study was conducted in two phases: in vitro and in vivo. In the in vitro phase, hard tissue analysis was done under AFM following air powder polishing. Eighteen extracted teeth were chosen. SRP and tooth sectioning were carried out. Subsequently, each section of the tooth was mounted on a glass plate with self cure acrylic resin and air polished using SBAP and GPAP. In the vivo phase, the soft tissue was analyzed under a light microscope for surface roughness. A biopsy specimen was taken from patients who had received phase I therapy, and flap surgery was planned using a modified Widman flap technique.  This study compared surface changes in enamel and cementum, under AFM, as indicated by RA after SRP, SRP and SBAP, and SRP and GPAP; comparisons were then drawn across the three groups. The mean AFM values were 108.5 and 144.7, 102.7 and 81.7, and 95.6 and 7.4, at the crown and root, for SRP, SRP and SBAP, and SRP and GPAP interventions, respectively. GPAP was the least rough on soft tissues.  SBAP and GPAP were better than hand instrumentation as indicated by AFM and histological section analysis.

IoT Based Passenger Count System in Public Transport
Year: 2018

Internet is a distinct existence, continually changing and developing. New ideas applications and many real time applications are created continuously. By these changes in the technology the lifestyle also changes it is becomes easier and simpler. This leads to a new paradigm: the Internet of Things. IoT is the connection of physical device and combined with internet to provide a smart system to the society. As there is increase growth in population need for transportation is also high. IoT plays a major role in transportation systems by making the system automated and smart. Many real time applications are developed to maintain traffic congestion, to provide travelers safety, by tracking the vehicles, avoid fleet management and so on. In this project, it is considered with the passengers in public buses, it is been a major consideration to keep the count of each passengers presence in the bus manually. Instead we develop a smart system to keep track of passengers automatically by the use of sensors
The Rule of Law without the Rule of Lawyers? Why Investment Arbitrators are from Mars, Trade Adjudicators are from Venus
Year: 2015

At the 20th anniversary of the World Trade Organization (WTO) the WTO's dispute settlement system is celebrated as one of the organization's biggest achievements. Compare this to investor state dispute settlement (ISDS) under heavy fire in both capital importing and exporting countries. How is it that today's perception of two parallel processes of legalization of world politics, on two closely related subject matters of global economic affairs cross border trade and cross border investment differs so much? The aim of this article is not to provide a comprehensive answer to this question. Instead, it focuses on only part of a possible explanation: The pool of individuals deciding WTO versus ICSID disputes. Based on new data, the article identifies striking differences between WTO panelists and ICSID arbitrators in terms of nationality, professional background, legal expertise, diversity, status and ideology. It then offers a number of factors that explain these differences centered on appointment rules and conditions and the broader institutional context of the WTO versus ICSID. The contribution this article makes is, first of all, empirical: based on data, demonstrating the differences between WTO and ICSID adjudicators. A second goal is explanatory: to highlight factors that rationally explain these differences. Thirdly, and finally, the article has a normative thesis: rule of law or legalization at the public international law level requires "voice" and political participation; in terms of adjudicators, representativeness, inclusiveness and trust tend to be more important than individual expertise and experience (the rule of law without necessarily the rule of lawyers) Prescriptively, this thesis expects relative continuity in the pool and attributes of WTO adjudicators; it foresees change in who will decide ISDS cases in the future.
Energy Efficient Optimization for Concurrent Compositions of WSN Services
Venue: IEEE Access
Year: 2017

Sharing the infrastructure of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for achieving concurrent requests becomes a trend nowadays, where a relatively complex request should be satisfied through aggregating complementary functionalities provided by contiguous sensor nodes contained in a certain network region. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a multi requests cooperative integrating mechanism leveraging service oriented WSNs. Specifically, a sensor node is encapsulated with one or multiple WSN services, which capture various functionalities provided by this sensor node. These WSN services can be categorized into service classes, where their functionalities are the main concern. Candidate service class chains are generated independently with respect to concurrent requests represented in plain text. The selection of candidate WSN services for the instantiation of certain service classes can be reduced to a multi objective and multi constraints optimization problem, where the spatial and temporal constraints, and energy efficiency of the network, are the factors to be considered. This combinational optimization problem is solved through adopting heuristic algorithms. Experimental results show that this technique improves the shareability of WSN services among concurrent requests, and reduces the energy consumption of the network significantly, especially when the spatial, temporal, and functional overlap between concurrent requests is relatively large.
Multidimensional k anonymity for protecting privacy using nearest neighborhood strategy
Venue: 2013 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Computing Research
Year: 2013

Data mining is the extracting of information or knowledge of the huge amount of data. Privacy preserving data mining is focused on preventing privacy and achieving data mining goals. To Maintain the privacy of data has become a popular issue because it allows sharing of personal data for analysis. To protect user specific data when releasing micro data, data holders trying to remove or encrypt personal data, for example names and social security numbers. Released information often contains other data, birth date, sex, and postcode that can be linked to publicly available information to re identify users and to infer information that was not intended for release. k anonymity is a significant method for protecting privacy in micro data release or publishing. k anonymity protect micro data table released be indistinguishably related to no fewer than k respondents. Partition in k anonymity are single dimensional. This paper proposes a new multidimensional model, which provides better k anonymity. We introduce a multidimensional k anonymity with nearest neighborhood strategy and experimental results show that it performs better ink anonymity.

Android Security: A Review
Year: 2017

Smartphones are used by billions of people that means the applications of the smartphone is increasing, it is out of control for applications marketplaces to completely validate if an application is malicious or legitimate. Therefore, it is up to users to choose for themselves whether an application is safe to use or not. It is important to say that there are differences between mobile devices and PC machines in resource management mechanism, the security solutions for computer malware are not compatible with mobile devices. Consequently, the anti malware organizations and academic researchers have produced and proposed many security methods and mechanisms in order to recognize and classify the security threat of the Android operating system. By means of the proposed methods are different from one to another, they can be arranged into various classifications. In this review paper, the present Android security threats is discussed and present security proposed solutions and attempt to classify the proposed solutions and evaluate them.
A IMPORTANCIA DO BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE PARA INSTITUICAO DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
Year: 2015

As Instituicoes de Ensino Superior (IES) lidam com dados diariamente, entre eles podemos destacar dados dos alunos, dos docentes e da propria instituicao. E comum IES que utilizam desses dados apenas para gerar registros em sistemas transacionais (ST) que manipulam dados academico, de contabilidade, financeiro, entre outros, esses sistemas sao importantes para areas operacionais da empresa, sendo de primeira necessidade para as IES. Porem, sao sistemas muitos especificos e que analisando relatorios, nao sera possivel conhecer informacoes valiosas a cerca da empresa como um todo. Para isso e necessario um sistema que reuna dados de varias fontes de dados (internos e externos) e que possa consolida los em uma unica base fazendo com que seja possivel (atraves de ferramentas especificas) gerar informacoes relevantes para a tomada de decisoes de forma a permitir atuacao diferenciada frente ao mercado das IES.
Need for Adequate Funding in the Administration of Secondary Education in Nigeria
Year: 2015

Funding is considered all over the world as the life wire that propels the educational sector towards achieving her objectives. The paper focuses on the need for adequate funding of secondary education in Nigeria. Emphases were laid on the alternative sources of funding for secondary schools as well as the consequences of inadequate funding on secondary school such as infrastructural decay, high cost of education, low level of staff commitment. Influence of adequate funding on secondary education such as infrastructural development, employment of quality teachers was also highlighted. The study also discussed the reasons for inadequate financing of secondary education among which is population explosion and lack of adequate planning. The techniques for proper financial management were also identified. It was concluded that proper funding plays a significant role in the achievement of the objectives of secondary education in the country. It was therefore recommended that the government should be committed to the funding of secondary education through adequate budgetary allocation while the private sector should also contribute to schools development as part of their corporate social responsibility.

Documenting Language, Culture, and Cognition: Language and Space among the Waorani
Year: 2012

This paper looks to investigate the intersection between the disciplines of anthropology, linguistics, and cognitive science through the discussion of documentation projects and documenting spatial language. In focusing on the language and culture of the Waorani, an indigenous group of the Amazonian region of Ecuador, this paper examines the properties of the language's static locative constructions, the language's status as an isolate, and the challenges and successes in the documentation process at present. This study also addresses these topics' relation with the study of the intersection of space, language, and cognition by looking at some of the responses given by native speakers to the prompts in Bowerman and Pederson's (1992) "Topological Relations Picture Series," a set of line drawings that depict simple scenes such as an apple in a bowl. These speakers' responses, as examples of spatial language use, offer what Stephen Levinson (1996:356) calls "more than just a privileged access to [cognition]" which is "the intermediate variable that promises to explain cultural propensities in spatial behavior." This paper supports Levinson's claim that language, culture, and cognition are intimately linked and can be studied through spatial language expressions across cultures. Therefore, any conclusions drawn in this paper may bring the studies of anthropology, linguistics, and cognition closer to finding common ground and possibly contribute to the understanding of human behavior. Because of this, I argue that spatial language expressions are amongst the most important to elicit when doing documentation projects.

How does foreign direct investment affect growth in sub Saharan Africa? New evidence from threshold analysis
Year: 2020

The threshold regression framework is used to examine the effect of foreign direct investment on growth in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) The growth literature is awash with divergent evidence on the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth. Although the FDI growth nexus has been studied in diverse ways, very few studies have examined the relationship within the framework of threshold analysis. Furthermore, even where this framework has been adopted, none of the previous studies has comprehensively examined the FDI growth nexus in the broader SSA. In this paper, within the standard panel and threshold regression framework, the problem of determining the growth impact of FDI is revisited.  Six variables are used as thresholds inflation, initial income, population growth, trade openness, financial market development and human capital, and the analysis is based on a large panel data set that comprises 45 SSA countries for the years 1985 2013.  The results of this study show that the direct impact of FDI on growth is largely ambiguous and inconsistent. However, under the threshold analysis, it is evident that FDI accelerates economic growth when SSA countries have achieved certain threshold levels of inflation, population growth and financial markets development. This evidence is largely invariant qualitatively and is robust to different empirical specifications. FDI enhances growth in SSA when inflation and private sector credit are below their threshold levels while human capital and population growth are above their threshold levels.  The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, the paper streamlines the threshold analysis of FDI growth nexus to focus on countries in SSA previous studies on FDI growth nexus in SSA are country specific and time series based (see Tshepo, 2014; Raheem and Oyinlola, 2013 and Bende Nabende, 2002) This paper provides a panel analysis and considers a broader set of up to 45 SSA countries. Such a broad set of SSA countries had never been considered in the literature. Second, the paper expands on available threshold variables to include two new important macroeconomic variables, population growth and inflation which, though are important absorptive capacities but, until now, had not been used as thresholds in the FDI growth literature. The rationale for including these variables as thresholds stems from the evidence of an empirical relationship between population growth and economic growth, see Darrat and Al Yousif (1999) and between inflation and economic growth, see Kremer

How Community Perception of Ecotourism Affect Participation of Ketambe Village Community in Mount Leuser National Park, Southeast Aceh
Year: 2019

This research was conducted to determine the effect of community perceptions of ecotourism on the participation of Ketambe Village community in Mount Leuser National Park, Southeast Aceh. In this study the method used was descriptive correlational method with simple regression analysis by making the Ketambe Village community as the population in this study. The results of this study show that community perceptions about ecotourism in Mount Leuser National Park are good or positive. The desire to participate also looks good, namely participation in working or doing entrepreneurship in the field of tourism, providing land, participation in maintaining environmental cleanliness and safety, and participation in explaining tourist attraction objects. The correlation between community perceptions of ecotourism towards the participation of the Ketambe Village community is 0.511 which indicates that there is a relationship between community perceptions and community participation. The influence of community perception on community participation is 26.1% and the remaining 73.9% is influenced by other variables.
Perceived quality of instruction: The relationship among indicators of students' basic needs, mastery goals, and academic achievement.
Venue: The British journal of educational psychology
Year: 2019

Students' mastery goals are positively related to adaptive learning behaviour. Moreover, these goals often mediate the relation between perceived classroom characteristics and academic achievement. Research generally shows a decline of academic achievement and mastery goals after transition to middle school. Creating a learning environment at middle school according to students' basic needs for autonomy, competence, and social relatedness might help to reduce these declines. However, little is known about the relationship between perceived fulfilment of needs, mastery goals, and academic achievement.  We investigate the relationship between indicators of students' perceived fulfilment of needs and their graded performance to determine whether the connection is indirect via mastery goals. SAMPLE We surveyed 2,105 students during the first year in middle school.  We assessed the amount of the students' perceived autonomy, recognition of competence and support from the teacher (as indicators of competence and social relatedness) in class, their mastery goals, and their grades. Multilevel models were calculated.  Perceived fulfilment of needs correlated significantly with mastery goals and graded performance. Mastery goals predicted graded performance; however, when perceived fulfilment of needs and mastery goals were analysed simultaneously, the correlation between mastery goals and graded performance was no longer significant. There was no indirect relation between perceived fulfilment of needs and graded performance via mastery goals.  Results indicate that creating the learning environment according to the students' basic needs is positively related to their mastery goals and graded performance during the first year at middle school.
