This paper aims to address the impact of a person's motivation to study
entrepreneurship on their subsequent levels of performance in terms of the
generation of business ideas, while taking into account the effect of
student team behaviour. The paper hypothesises that both intrinsic and
extrinsic motivation as well as team behaviour influence the learning
outcome and that team behaviour moderates the relationship between
motivation and learning outcomes. A survey was used to generate data. A
total of students, who participated in pre-programme, and post-programme
surveys, provided the sample data. First, explorative factor analyses were
employed to examine the latent variables. Second, hierarchical lineal
regression analyses were carried out to test the proposed hypotheses.
Results show that intrinsic motivation has a negative effect on the
learning outcome while extrinsic motivation had a positive one. However,
the team (and in particular the resources that become available)
positively moderates the relationship between the intrinsic motivation and
the outcomes.

Background: Phthalates are chemical compounds that have the tendency to
migrate into food and beverages, thereby leading to negative health
consequences. Aims: was to assess the knowledge of phthalates and
practices relating to plastic use among adults residing in Jeddah, Saudi
Arabia, with an emphasis on cheese wrapped in plastic materials.
Material and Methods: A total of adult participants completed an online
questionnaire consisting of three sections ) socio-demographic
characteristics, ) knowledge-related phthalates, and ) practices related
to plastic use. All collected data were verified and analyzed using the
Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: Our findings
revealed that % of the respondents had poor knowledge regarding plastics
and phthalates with gender being a significant factor (p= ). The usage
rate of plastic material was found to be remarkably high with % keeping
the purchased cheese either in its original plastic wrapping or placed
inside plastic boxes. Moreover, % never viewed the safe plastic number
before purchasing the food products. However Interestingly enough, the
type of plastics did not influence participant's decision-making process
when it came down to purchasing or consuming cheese ( % & %,
respectively). Respondents who had poor practice represented up to %,
while those with poor knowledge and practice constituted %. However, no
significant link between these two factors could be established.
Conclusions: Poor awareness levels concerning phthalates along with
imprudent usage rates for plastics were observed among adults living
within Jeddah city's boundaries; thus, appropriate interventions aimed
at raising awareness need implementation so as minimize exposure risks
associated with this issue. Keywords: Phthalate, Plastic use, Cheese,

Aims: Chronic low-grade inflammation is an important cause of systemic
insulin resistance and play a central role in the pathophysiology of
gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study aimed to investigate the
correlation between neutrophil(N) in first-trimester pregnancy and the
development of GDM. Methods: women with GDM and women without GDM were
included in this retrospective study. Demographic, pregnancy variables,
white blood cell(WBC), neutrophil(N) counts, Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte
Ratio(NLR), clinical biochemical characteristics, delivery information
were got from all subjects. Logistic regression analysis with forward
stepwise selection were used to determine the independent risk factors
for the development of GDM. Result: GDM patients had much higher level
of blood glucose(BG), triglyceride(TG), fetal birth weight, WBC, N
counts and NLR than women without GDM. There were significant positive
association between N counts and -hour BG, hour BG, glycosylated
hemoglobin(HbA0c), pregnancy body mass index(BMI), and homeostasis model
assessment for insulin resistance(HOMA-IR). Additionally, there were
significant negative association between N and quantitative insulin
sensitivity check index (QUICKI) and low-density lipoprotein(LDL)
cholesterol. After adjusting confounding variables, we found N counts
was an independent factor for the development of GDM (OR = ; %
confidence interval, to ), regardless the history of GDM (OR = for
without GDM history). Conclusion: N counts in first-trimester pregnancy
is closely associated with the development of GDM in pregnant women.

ABSTRACT There are many forms of alternative medicines for treatment of
any type of ailment, applied kinesiology being one of them. It is a
scientific technique in which claims to diagnose illness or choose
treatment by testing muscles for strength and weakness. A widespread use
of applied kinesiology in dentistry has resulted in a complete
reevaluation and understanding of patient's overall health and well-being.
Concepts of structural integration, selection of materials for
restoration, adjunctive therapies, equipments used for joint vibration
analysis, have been described in this article. Review of literature has
shown positive response by many dentists for this natural type of
medicine. This article presents a review in which applied kinesiology and
its uses in dentistry are reviewed and analyzed. How to cite this article

Abstract Anti-CD00 monoclonal antibodies are widely used in clinical
transplantation to prevent acute allograft rejection. Although their
effects on T lymphocytes have been extensively studied, their impact on
human dendritic cells (DC) has never been reported. Furthermore, the
role of the IL- in DC functions has not yet been fully elucidated. In
this study, we confirm that the stimulation of human monocyte-derived DC
with LPS strongly induced the expression of CD00 and that LPS-matured DC
also expressed the and chain of the IL-0R. We also showed that adding
anti-CD00 monoclonal antibodies to LPS induced a decrease in IL- , IL- ,
TNF-, IL- , and IFN- production and an increase in IL- synthesis by DC
compared with stimulation with LPS alone. Furthermore, we showed that
these modifications diminished the T helper priming ability of DC and
polarized the alloimmune response toward TH0. In contrast, humanized
anti-CD00 monoclonal antibodies did not affect the up-regulation of
CD00, CD00, CD00, HLADR, or CD00 induced upon LPS stimulation. Taken
together, this study discloses some previously unrecognized effects of
anti-CD00 monoclonal antibodies on DC that may contribute to their
clinical efficacy. In addition, this study also shed some light on the
role of the IL- in human DC activation.

It is argued that setting one over zero to the upthorn symbol, elsewhere
used to denote bottom, as is done in common meadows, is conceptually
meaningful for elementary mathematics. We consider the arguments in its
favour, for the restricted context of use in elementary arithmetic, to
be stronger than arguments supporting one over zero equals zero, as in
Suppes-Ono division and variants of it sometimes used in the model
theory of fields as a branch of mathematical logic, or one over zero as
an unsigned infinity, as proposed by Riemann and used in the design of
wheel arithmetic, or one over zero as positive infinity, as in
transrational arithmetic.

ABSTRACT Background The aim of this study was to determine the
prevalence and associated risk factors for development of
musculoskeletal pain among the dental students of 0rd, 0th year and
interns, at MGM Dental College, Navi Mumbai. Materials and Methods A
valid and reliable close ended questionnaire was administered to
students of 0rd year, 0th year and interns who met the inclusion
criteria. A response rate of % was achieved. The variables included in
the questionnaire were ( ) presence of pain, ( ) awareness regarding
correct posture, ( ) areas of the body affected by pain, ( ) clinical
setting, ( ) practices to reduce pain. Statistical analysis was applied
using Chi-square test. Results In this study, we found a total of %
prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among the dental students. Eighty-one
percent were unaware of the correct posture for dental clinical
procedures. Statistical significance was observed between different
clinical activities and musculoskeletal pain when Chi-square test was
applied. Maximum pain was observed in the hand ( %) followed by wrist (
%) and lower back ( %). Sixty-three percent of the students having pain
performed cervical flexions and torsions to improve vision of the oral
cavity. Seventy-five percent of the students reported that they were
uncomfortable with their current working stool. Five percent of the
participants performed exercises after clinical practice of which none
reported musculoskeletal pain. Conclusion Dental students are prone to
development of musculoskeletal pain due to lack of awareness regarding
correct posture, prolonged static postures, inadequate operating stools
and lack of exercises. How to cite this article Madaan V, Chaudhari A.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of
various factors on the extent of thermal coagulation necrosis after
radiofrequency (RF) tissue ablation using a cooled-tip electrode in bovine
liver.Materials and Methods: RF ablation was induced by a monopolar KHz-RF
generator (CC- ; Radionics,Burlington, Mass., U.S.A.) and an -G cooled-tip
with single or clustered electrodes. The ablation protocol involveda
combination of varying current, ablation time, power output, gradual or
abrupt increase of this out-put, and pulsed radiofrequency techniques. The
maximum diameter of all thermal lesions which showed a color change was
measured perpendicular to the electrode axis by two observers who reached
their decisions by consensus. Twenty representative lesions were
pathologically examined.Results: With increasing current lesion diameter
also increased, but above mA no further increase was induced. Extending
the ablation time to minutes for a single electrode and minutes for a
clustered electrode increased lesion diameter until a steady state was
reached. Higher power levels caused larger lesions, but above W no
increase was observed. Ample exposure time coupled with a stepwise
increase in power level induced a lesion larger than that resulting from
an abrupt increase. Continuous pulsed RF with a high current led to
increased coagulation necrosis diameter.Conclusion: These experimental
findings may be useful thermotherapy. The data suggest that all involved
factors significantly affect lesion size: if the factors are better
understood, cancer thermotherapy can be better controlled.

Purpose: We wanted to evaluate the levels of effect and safety of
high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation (HIFU) for treating patients
with advanced pancreatic cancer. Materials and Methods: Nineteen
sessions of HIFU, with the patients under general anesthesia, were
performed in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. The change of the
gray-scale of the target lesion was analyzed during HIFU, and MRI was
performed before and after HIFU. We assessed the extent of coagulative
necrosis, the change of pain and the complications after HIFU. The
change of tumor size and the survival of patients were also evaluated.
Results: The average size of tumor was cm in diameter. Eighty nine
percent of the target tumors showed increased echogenicity. On MRI,
necrosis of the entire target tumor occurred in % of the patients. After
treatment, effective pain relief was noted in % of the patients. There
were no major complications. No size increase of the treated tumor was
noted during weeks of follow-up for patients. Six patients among
patients who were available for follow-up are still alive and they are
receiving chemotherapy. Six patients expired due to other disease or
progression of metastasis. Conclusion: HIFU is a safe method without any
major complications, and it is effective for inducing tumor necrosis and
achieving pain control for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

Magnetic polyacrylic cation exchange resins NDMC and magnetic
polyacrylic anion exchange resins NDMP were applied for the treatment of
composite pollutants composed of Cu(II), Ni(II) and tannic. The most
efficient method was the combined process of NDMC and NDMP(named as
NDMC+NDMP). NDMC+NDMP method can remove Cu(II), Ni(II) and tannic from
composite pollutants simultaneously, and the removal efficiency of
Cu(II), Ni(II) and tannic reached %, % and %, respectively. Through
further analysis of behaviors of pre-load experiments and simultaneous
removal experiments, the results showed that there were two ways in
simultaneous removal of heavy metal ions and DOM, including adsorption
of Metal-DOM complex by magnetic particle and complexation between DOM
and heavy metal ions loaded on solid phase, and the former was the main
mechanism.

This study examined the effect of pictorial cues on Iranian
pre-intermediate EFL learners' speaking accuracy and fluency. To do this
study, Iranian pre-intermediate EFL learners were selected out of students
in a private English Language Institute. The selected participants were
divided into two equal groups; experimental group and control group. After
that, both groups were pretested by a speaking pre-test. The experimental
group was taught through using the pre-speaking strategies as the
researcher provided students with pictorial inputs. On the other hand, the
students of the control group were taught through traditional speaking
activities including repetition and over-learning. The treatment took
sessions of minutes each under the guidance of the supervisor. In the
first session, the participants were homogenized. In the second session,
they were pretested. During sessions, students were taught by using
pictorial input, and in the last session after the treatment the two
groups took the speaking post-test. The results of paired t-test and
MANOVA revealed that the experimental group had better performance on
their accuracy and fluency post-test compared to their pre-test. The
results also showed that the experimental group outperformed the control
group on the accuracy and fluency post-test. Finally, implications arising
from the findings and suggestions for further research were explained.

Toward the end of World War I and during World War II, whole-blood
transfusions were the primary agent in the treatment of military
traumatic hemorrhage. However, after World War II, the fractionation of
whole blood into its components became widely accepted and replaced
whole-blood transfusion to better accommodate specific blood
deficiencies, logistics, and financial reasons. This transition occurred
with very few clinical trials to determine which patient populations or
scenarios would or would not benefit from the change. A smaller
population of patients with trauma hemorrhage will require massive
transfusion (> U packed red blood cells in h) occurring in % to % of
civilian and % of military traumas. Advocates for hemostatic
resuscitation have turned toward a ratio-balanced component therapy
using packed red blood cellsfresh frozen plasmaplatelet concentration in
a : : ratio due to whole-blood limited availability. However, this
"reconstituted" whole blood is associated with a significantly anemic,
thrombocytopenic, and coagulopathic product compared with whole blood.
In addition, several recent military studies suggest a survival
advantage of early use of whole blood, but the safety concerns have
limited is widespread civilian use. Based on extensive military
experience as well as recent published literature, low-titer leukocyte
reduced cold-store type O whole blood carries low adverse risks and
maintains its hemostatic properties for up to days. A prospective
randomized trial comparing whole blood versus ratio balanced component
therapy is proposed with rationale provided.

Purpose This article aims to explore recent trends in farmland rental
markets using data for the state of Illinois. Trends in the types of
rental agreements used and the relationship between the rental rate for
those contracts, land values, crop revenues, production costs, and farm
returns are examined. Design/methodology/approach Data from various
sources and at different levels of aggregation for the state of Illinois
are used to provide illustrations of historical trends in farmland
rental agreements and rental rates, and how they are related to various
market and industry factors. Focus is placed on the more recent period
since characterized by high commodity price levels and volatility.
Findings The majority of farmland in the Midwest is controlled under
rental agreements which are increasingly of the fixed cash rent type.
Rental rates have increased, but at a slower rate than farm returns.
Average rental and interest rates imply that land values are consistent
with the current market environment. Aggregate rental rates mask
considerable variation in farmlevel rents, only a portion of which can
be explained by differences in soil productivity. Given the current
level of price volatility, the tenure position of a farm operation has a
significant effect on downside risk exposure. Originality/value The
illustrations provided in this paper should be of interest to
researchers working in the area of farmland values and rental
agreements, as well as to practitioners including farmers, landowners,
and professional farm managers. The findings should motivate additional
research and recognition of the importance of tenure position to the
performance and risk exposure of grain farms.

This study investigates the blind spots in Sinclair and Coulthard's
revised classroom discourse (CD) structure of Teacher's Initiation,
Students' Response and Teacher's Feedback (IRF). The study suggests the
Initiation ( ), Response ( ) and Feedback ( ) (IIRRFF) pattern which may
be suitable for today's CD. This pattern permits equal contributions by
classroom participants. The study adopts a quantitative method for data
collection; a qualitative-descriptive research design and Information
Processing Theory (IPT). Data were collected through a questionnaire
distributed to English lecturers and students from three tertiary
institutions in Nigeria. The results show a high percentage of
participants who confirmed that Sinclair and Coulthard's IRF model has
blind spots; % of the respondents agreed that the model may lead to a
limited understanding of what is taught; % agreed that dual initiations
and feedback are rejected in this model, and % strongly agreed that the
model should be expanded to accommodate other fields of language
learning. The study recommends that CD should be categorized into two
major types: the teacher's utterances and the students' utterances. The
IIRRFF pattern that allows teachers and students to have equal slots in
every CD should be implemented. This will encourage students' full
participation and interaction.

Abstract The movement toward open education is requiring educators to
expand and update their practice in order to keep up with the new demands
being placed on them. This study explored how educators can engage in
meaningful learning opportunities, which will facilitate the creation of
expertise and knowledge, through the use of open education resources
(OER). The article describes the design of the instrument employed to
measure workplace learning through OER activity of adult educators ( n = )
and to report its internal reliability and convergent validity. Results
indicate engagement with OER promote three levels of learning, each
connected to the different types of knowledge educators require to

Abstract We aimed to analyse postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD)
incidence and risk factors in elderly adults who underwent surgery for
oral malignancies. A total of elderly patients (aged years) were
selected for expanded resection of oral malignancy and cervical
lymphatic dissection at our institution from December to December .
Participants were cognitively evaluated using the neuropsychological
test scale day before and days after surgery to determine whether they
had developed POCD. Based on whether POCD occurred days after surgery,
patients were classified into the POCD and non-POCD groups. Logistic
regression was applied to perioperative factors to analyse the risk
factors for POCD onset. Seven days after surgery for oral malignancy,
there were ( %) POCD morbidities. Multiple factor logistic regression
analysis revealed that venerable age (odds ratio [OR] = , % confidence
interval [CI] .000, P < ), low education levels (OR = , % CI .000, P <
), hypertension (OR = , % CI .000, P < ), dyssomnia (OR = , % CI .000, P
< ), prolonged anaesthesia (OR = , % CI .000, P < ), and intraoperative
hypotension (OR = , % CI .000, P < ) increased the POCD risk in elderly
patients who underwent surgery for oral malignancies. Venerable age, low
knowledge reserve, hypertension, dyssomnia, prolonged anaesthesia, and
intraoperative hypotension are independent risk factors for POCD in
elderly patients with oral malignancies.

Abstract OVERVIEW: This paper provides an overview of some fundamental
aspects of electrochemical oxidation and gives updated information on
the application of this technology to wastewater treatment. In recent
years, electrochemical oxidation has gained increasing interest due to
its outstanding technical characteristics for eliminating a wide variety
of pollutants normally present in wastewaters such as refractory organic
matter, nitrogen species and microorganisms. IMPACT: The strict disposal
limits and health quality standards set by legislation may be met by
applying electrochemical oxidation. However, treatment costs have to be
cut down before fullscale application of this technology. Deployment of
electrochemical oxidation in combination with other technologies and the
use of renewable sources to power this process are two steps in this
direction. APPLICATIONS: Effluents from landfill and a wide diversity of
industrial effluents including the agroindustry, chemical, textile,
tannery and food industry, have been effectively treated by this
technology. Its high efficiency together with its disinfection
capabilities makes electrooxidation a suitable technology for water
reuse programs. Copyright ©️ Society of Chemical Industry

Abstract Predictors of academic success at university are of great
interest to educators, researchers and policymakers. With more students
studying online, it is important to understand whether traditional
predictors of academic outcomes in facetoface settings are relevant to
online learning. This study modelled selfregulatory and demographic
predictors of subject grades in online and facetoface undergraduate
students. Predictors were effort regulation, grade goal, academic
selfefficacy, performance selfefficacy, age, sex, socioeconomic status
(SES) and firstinfamily status. A multigroup path analysis indicated
that the models were significantly different across learning modalities.
For facetoface students, none of the model variables significantly
predicted grades. For online students, only performance selfefficacy
significantly predicted grades (small effect). Findings suggest that
learner characteristics may not function in the same way across learning
modes. Further factor analytic and hierarchical research is needed to
determine whether selfregulatory predictors of academic success continue
to be relevant to modern student cohorts. Practitioner Notes What is
already known about this topic Selfregulatory and demographic variables
are important predictors of university outcomes like grades. It is
unclear whether the relationships between predictor variables and
outcomes are the same across learning modalities, as research findings
are mixed. What this paper adds Models predicting university students'
grades by demographic and selfregulatory predictors differed
significantly between facetoface and online learning modalities.
Performance selfefficacy significantly predicted grades for online
students. No selfregulatory variables significantly predicted grades for
facetoface students, and no demographic variables significantly
predicted grades in either cohort. Overall, traditional predictors of
grades showed no/small unique effects in both cohorts. Implications for
practice and/or policy The learner characteristics that predict success
may not be the same across learning modalities. Approaches to enhancing
success in facetoface settings are not automatically applicable to
online settings. Selfregulatory variables may not predict university
outcomes as strongly as previously believed, and more research is
needed.

E-retailing is entering into the Indian retail scenario in a noticeable way and online grocery retailing holds a promise of acceptance by the Indian customers. This paper attempts to discover the market potential of online grocery retailing in India and consumers' perception towards its different aspects. Confirmatory factor analysis proposes that there are five underlying dimensions (convenience, value for money, variety, loyalty and ambient factors) governing the selection of mode for grocery purchase. Thereafter Binary-Logistic Regression has been employed to analyze the impact of these five broad perceptual dimensions upon the acceptance/rejection of online grocery retailing.

Conserved proteins preferentially expressed in synaptic terminals of the nervous system are likely to play a significant role in brain function. We have previously identified and molecularly characterized the Sap00 gene which codes for a novel synapse associated protein of kDa in Drosophila. Sequence comparison identifies homologous proteins in numerous species including C. elegans, fish, mouse and human. First hints as to the function of this novel protein family can be obtained by generating mutants for the Sap00 gene in Drosophila.Attempts to eliminate the Sap00 gene through targeted mutagenesis by homologous recombination were unsuccessful. However, several mutants were generated by transposon remobilization after an appropriate insertion line had become available from the Drosophila P-element screen of the Bellen/Hoskins/Rubin/Spradling labs. Characterization of various deletions in the Sap00 gene due to imprecise excision of the P-element identified three null mutants and three h...
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was notable in largely excluding agriculture whereas the World Trade Organization (WTO) brought agriculture into the world trade rules. This article aims to evaluate the impacts of trade on agriculture production and productivity, especially the changes between the GATT and WTO periods. Using a panel of countries from , this article derives not only spillover effects that were overlooked, but also provides more accurate productivity than was estimated with bias in literature for both periods. We find that trade hindered agriculture production and productivity in the GATT period but improved agriculture production and productivity in the WTO period.
Nigeria is arguably the largest importer of dairy products in Africa. Available statistics shows that up to % of the total dairy products consumed in the country are imported; and that about % of the entire dairy market is controlled by FrieslandCampina WAMCO (FCW). The purpose of this study is to examine the basis for the prevailing import orientation in the dairy industry since . Is the orientation traceable to operations of multinational companies or the institutional and governance challenges in the country? Using triangulated data collected from FCW official reports and other relevant sources, and a content analytical technique, the study finds that the problem in the industry is multifaceted. Central to the challenges are persistent institutional and infrastructural defects, as well as faulty integration designs adopted by FCW. Based on this, the paper recommends that reversing the current trend requires government's policies that dis-incentivizes importation. However, such polic...
Questionnaires were mailed to all persons who had been granted the B.S. degree in psychology at Iowa State University during the period to . After one follow-up letter, ( %) returns had been received, these coming from about twice as many males as fema0es.l Respondents were in different states, the District of Columbia, and Ontario. Iowa accounted for almost one-fourth, with Iowa and bordering states accounting for about one-half. The questionnaire called for information concerning advanced training and education, vocational experiences, extent of use of psychological training, membership in professional organizations, professional and/or trade publications read regularly, and relative value of the psychology courses taken. Additional comments were invited on the psychology program and the total undergraduate curriculum at Iowa State. Forty-five per cent (mostly males) had taken, or were taking, graduate work in psychology. This agrees with Gustav's ( ) findings but differs from Dole's...
As well as being the name of the physical symptom of shivering, shuddering, or goosebumps, the Greek word phrike names an emotion that is particularly associated with automatic responses to sudden visual or auditory stimuli. This makes it especially at home in a number of specialized (ritual and other) scenarios, and helps explain its recurrent role in the ancient Greek aesthetics and literary theory, a role that illustrates the importance of the visual and the physical in ancient theories of audiences' emotional responses to the portrayal of suffering in both dramatic performance and non-dramatic narrative.
Oedipus Tyrannos (Sophocles, BCE) is examined psychoanalytically considering the elements of the story as unfolding in such a way as to leave what Freud ( ) called, "gaps unfilled and riddles unanswered" in the history, that is to say, devoid of a truly complex portrayal of human motivation and feeling. The quality of innocence that is dependent on simultaneously knowing and not knowing, both external reality and the internal realities that accompany it, is lost during Oedipus' zealous investigation. Elements of the history, as Sophocles presents it, reveal gaps and riddles that become resolved as the play moves inexorably to its tragic conclusion, with the identification of Oedipus as the parricidal polluter. The solicitations of supernatural consultation from the Delphian oracle betoken a disowned knowing of a frightening or a shameful aspect of human nature without actually acknowledging that knowledge. As the investigation proceeds, the play devolves virtually into a play within a ...
Objcetive To study the advantages of treating large serious bed sores by gentamicin and infrared rays.Methods First clean the surface of the wound of the bed sores and trim the dead tissue and siuns.Then wash it with gentamicin liquid, light it with -watt infrared rays for minutes. Cover it with a wet gentamicin gauze, then bind it up with a vaseline gauze and dressing. Do this once a day.Results The treatment of bed sores by gentamicin and infrared rays could obviously shorten the treating time (P0.00),with high cure rate (P0.00) and low death rate (P0.00).Conclusion The gentamicin and infrared rays to treat bed sores can control local infections,accelerate the reproduction of the tissue and resumption,which is more effctive than the traditional treatment.

anchor positive negative In response to mounting community concern about the use of workplace agreements to erode employee conditions, the Howard Government has introduced substantial changes to the legal framework. These changes include a new Fairness Test and the rebadging of the two main institutions responsible for supervising agreement-making. This article outlines the main elements of these reforms and considers the extent to which the redesigned 'safety net' will offer protection to employees who enter into federal workplace agreements.
In Canada, the question of the meaning of the constitutional guarantee of freedom of association has been raised most frequently and persistently in the labour relations context The dual nature of the core labour rights and freedoms of collective organization, collective bargaining, and collective withdrawal of labour as both fundamental human rights and key components of economic policy makes it very difficult for courts to grapple with them in the constitutional context. The Supreme Court of Canada has been badly divided over the scope of collective activities by workers and unions protected by constitutional guarantees of freedom of association over the past years. Precedents have been overturned, and reasons that appeared in dissent subsequently figured in majority decisions. Changes in the composition of the bench as well as the economic and political climate have undermined the achievement of a principled consensus over the constitutional interpretation of section (d) in the cont...
It is shown that the presence of an arbitrary body buried near a dielectric highly rough random surface produces a remarkable enhanced backscattering peak in the angular distribution of mean scattered intensity. This is in contrast with the distribution that the dielectric rough surface yields in the absence of the body. In order for the peak to appear, the surface must be very rough and the contrast between the dielectric constants of the body and the medium in which it is immersed must be at least. We illustrate the results with a two-dimensional ( -D) calculation of a cylinder in front of a -D rough profile immersed in a dielectric medium. Different cases have been addressed in order to investigate the dependence of the backscattering enhancement on several physical parameters such as the width of the incident beam; the size, position, and optical constant of the buried cylinder; and the surface correlation function, as well as the difficult task of performing averages that resemble...
Issues surrounding white privilege have been in continuous debate. In Japan, the subject of white privilege is also not straightforward. Past research has been conducted about white privileged males in Japanese universities. We decided to take a different standpoint and examine the presence of white privilege in Japan through the alternative voices of non-Japanese Asian female university English teachers. By interviewing and analyzing their experiences and identities, we were able to examine incidences of white privilege that happened and influenced their lives as non-Japanese Asian female English teachers in Japan. We hope that our work generates interest and attention to the current gender and racial imbalance of native-speaker university English teachers in Japanan issue that directly or indirectly relates to all students, teachers, administrators and policy makers.
The study aims to explore the register variation in Chinese English and language variation between Chinese English and American English. A corpus-based and comparative methodology was used to analyse the discourse features of Chinese English in the use of the lexical items perhaps and maybe. The major findings of the study can be stated as follows: ) the more formal word perhaps is used more frequently than the informal word maybe in all the four genres in Chinese English. This shows that the text of Chinese English is generally in a more formal style. ) In the Chinese English text, the ratios of the standard frequency of perhaps to maybe are greater than those in American English in the all the four genres. This indicates that the text in Chinese English is generally in a more formal style than that in American English. ) In the Chinese English text, the informal word maybe is used less frequently than in the American English text. This is a sign that Chinese English is more formal th...
To present a case of a -year-old male patient with primary enuresis refractory to conservative treatment.Radiologic and urodynamic tests revealed posterior urethral valves that were treated by transurethral fulguration. The patient was cured of both enuresis and infravesical obstruction and remains disease-free years after the operation with no impact on his sexual function.Posterior urethral valves are very rarely diagnosed in adolescents and adults. Very few cases have been published in the literature. To our knowledge, the case described herein is the first case presenting with persistent primary enuresis.
Abstract Reduced temperature and increased bulk density associated with conservation tillage systems cause lower seed germination, seedling emergence, and early growth rates resulting in reduced plant stands. Prediction of the influence of soil condition on seed imbibition through simple soil measurements would help make agronomic decisions such as planting date and/or density. Our objectives were to evaluate the influence of soil waterfilled pore space on winter wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) seed imbibition and to assess the possibility of describing the relationship through simple mathematical models. We measured the rate of water uptake by heatkilled wheat seeds at three levels of waterfilled pore space (WFPS: , , and ) and temperature ( T : , , and K) and two levels of bulk density ( b : and Mg m ) in a Sharpsburg silty clay loam topsoil. The model proposed in by Blacklow to estimate seed water content ( s ) after imbibing water for time t , s(t) = ( m + ot ) ( m s( ) ) e qt , was ...
Abstract Camellia oleifera Abel. is an important woody oil plant that could solve the disparity between the supply and demand of edible oil in China. Although numerous excellent clones have been developed and introduced to enhance production, the interactions between high yield clones and soil ecosystem sustainability remains poorly understood. The highyielding period of a C. oleifera plant is approximately yr; therefore, appropriate clone selection is crucial. We evaluated the differences between four major clones based on soil nutrient and microbial community structure, following cultivation for yr to infer the influence of clone selection on soil sustainable utilization. The results showed significant differences in soil nutrient status and rhizosphere microorganism populations among clones. The bacterial communities in the XL0 plots had the highest species richness. According to the results, clone XL0 was found to be suitable for sustainable cultivation considering the high organic...
AbstractIn the wake of the present effort to shape American education to produce large numbers of scientists and engineers, education in the arts is becoming an increasingly peripheral interest of the schools. The time that public school pupils have at their disposal is limited, and so is the money available for financing schools. To a public rightly concerned with these limitations, educators in the arts must be able to present convincing arguments to show that the arts are in fact worth teaching. And to this same public, weary and perhaps disillusioned with what it takes to be a chaos of relativistic aesthetic standards, educators must be able to say that taste is not wholly an individual matter, but that some standards do in fact exist and are available for teaching. Without being able to argue in some way for the importance of education in the arts and for the existence of aesthetic standards, educators who propose that the schools teach the arts are in effect asking the public to ...
