Abstract:
One of the critical aspects of an individual’s life is career choice as this will determine the role pattern needed to be played by the individual in the society in the future,andit is one of the important processes in life. This study aimsto investigate the factors influencing the career choice of the students. This study focusedon undergraduate students in the Universityof Aden. Undergraduate students were chosenbecause right upon graduation, they are the ones who will be decidingon their career choices. The findings of the study largely supported the hypothesizedrelationships proposed in the theoretical model and showed that the family, self-efficacy and economic considerations exerted significant influence on the choice of a career among students. Moreover, the results showed that the influence of family, self-efficacy and economic considerations was positive on career choices. Toinvestigatingstudent’s career choice that isaffected by other important factors, further studies are strongly recommended.

Abstract:
This study applies the state of the Japanese university industry to a theoretical model of monopolistic competition. Using a model of spatial economics, it is possible to identify how and why an increasingly competitive university environment leads to university agglomeration and dispersion. The study analyses whether the location of universities will be less unevenly distributed in cities and whether the number of universities and students in rural areas will increase. Using a model of spatial economics, the study analyses two aspects: the demand aspect of the choice of universities by students and the supply aspect of location by universities. A decrease in the number of students per university results in a decrease in the quality of education through a decrease in university income. The results of this study can also explain the impact on the quality of education. The analysis leads to the following conclusions. The higher the cost of inter-regional travel during the job search, the fewer students are willing to move from one region to another to find a job, and the lower the number of students enrolled. When the substitutability between university varieties is weak, the number of universities increases because prospective students need more variety, and the number of students per university decreases. When fixed inputs are low, e.g. when the fixed costs of a university are low due to online etc., the number of universities increases because it is easier to establish new universities and the number of students and graduates per university decreases. In a model that assumes two types of students within the same university who want to work in their region or another region, there will be more students who move between regions. The location of universities is determined by the balance between market size and the level of competition. As people move from one region to another in the course of their job search, there will be competitors in the other region, and the effect of new competition will be weaker in regions with more universities than in regions with fewer universities. Thus, regions with more universities will have a larger market relative to the level of competition, and more universities than their share of the population will be located there. Even in a model with two regions, one with universities in higher education and the other with homogeneous goods in non-university production, the region with the largest population has a larger share of university enrolments than its share of the population. This means that even if the two regions have the same level of technology and resources, they will experience a reduction in enrolment simply because of their small population size. Smaller universities in rural areas mean that a negative spiral of declining enrolments will occur.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the factors that influence Ghanaian tertiary students’ career choices. The paper explores the dimensionality of the career choice factors within the Ghanaian context and also ascertains their degree of influence on students’ career choices. Design/methodology/approach The study employs survey method of research and a set of questionnaire was used to examine the factors that influence students’ career choices. A total of 354 undergraduate students from the Ashesi University College in Ghana participated in the study. Factor analysis was conducted on the career choice factors and differences in response between science and business students were ascertained by means of independent sample t-test. Findings The findings of this study indicate that university students in Ghana place much premium on intrinsic value and employability/financial prospect in their career choice decisions than such factors as prestige and desired working conditions. Research limitations/implications The findings of this study are relevant for policymakers and tertiary education providers interested in making the study of science an attractive option for university students in Ghana. Originality/value The findings of this paper highlight some of the underlining reasons for the unpopularity of the study of sciences among university students in Ghana.

Abstract:
This thesis addresses UK students’ university choice using discrete choice methods and micro-data obtained from Higher Education Statistical Agency for graduates between 2006 and 2010. The thesis consists of three chapters with each addressing a different aspect of students’ choice. The studies are intended to provide policy-makers and other decision-makers with valuable information that will help them to implement strategies and policies for better higher education. Some work in the literature has been dedicated to students’ university choice. This thesis explores this body of work and builds on it, extends it and improves what is previously known in the literature. The aim of the first chapter is to investigate what affects students’ university choice. It contributes to the literature by establishing the best method to do so. Two models are used: the standard conditional logit and conditional logit with, what is called in this paper, alternative specific constants. Conditional logit with alternative specific constants improves on conditional logit twofold: it deals with unobserved university characteristics and improves the model fit. The results show that the probability of attending a university decreases with an increase in tuition fees and distance between students’ home and the university, and decreases in students’ socio-economic status. The second chapter further investigates the importance of distance on students’ university choice and it contributes to the literature by calculating the willingness to pay of students for distance to university. The chosen models are estimated for different socio-economic group of students separately. This methodology allows for meaningful comparison between socio-economic groups and produces more reliable estimates due to the fact that it accommodates for different unobserved characteristics of universities for different groups of students. The results show that students with the highest socio-economic status are not affected or have a positive utility of distance. The willingness to pay of other socio-economic groups are mixed and depend on the university characteristics used in the model. The third chapter focuses on students’ attitudes towards costs and benefits of university degree by calculating the discount rate of future income using marginal utility of graduate income and tuition fees. In addition, the chapter shows how use of consideration sets of universities for each student improves the model fit. The results show that students have a normal discount rate around 1% without consideration sets. The discount rate becomes negative in all models apart from one, when consideration sets are used.

Abstract:
This thesis consists of three essays that examine issues on university attendance behavior, factorsof university completion, and the labor market value of a university diploma in Sweden. Essay [I] analyzes how the rapid expansion of higher education that increased the geographicalaccessibility to higher education in the 1990s affected university enrollment decisions amongvarious socioeconomic groups of young adults in Sweden. The empirical findings show that theprobability of enrollment in university education increases with accessibility to universityeducation. The results also indicate that accessibility adds to the likelihood of attending auniversity within the region of residence. Access to higher education more locally seems to havedecreased the social distance to higher education, meaning that the option of attending highereducation, as compared to entering the local labor market after upper secondary school, hasbecome a more common and a more natural alternative for more socioeconomic groups insociety. Essay [II] compares the performance of students in universities built before and after the largedecentralization and expansion of the higher educational system in Sweden, starting in the late1970s. Two outcome measures are used: (i) whether or not the student has obtained a degreewithin seven years after she initiated her studies; and (ii) whether or not she obtained 120 creditpoints (the requirement for most undergraduate degrees) within seven years. Controlling forseveral background variables as well as GPA scores in a binomial probit model, we show thatstudents at old universities are about 5 percentage points more likely to get a degree and about 9percentage points more likely to obtain 120 credit points. However, in an extended bivariatemodel where we consider selection on unobservables into university type, we cannot reject thepossibility of no difference in performance between the two university types. Essay [III] analyzes the labor market value of a university diploma (sheepskin) in Sweden. Incontrast to previous studies, this study only focuses on Swedish university students who havethree years of full time university education or more − where some have obtained a universitydegree, others not. The results show that for male students, the wage premium of possessing adegree, i.e. the sheepskin effect, is roughly 5-8 percent. For women, it is about 6-7 percent forthose who have completed four years of fulltime or more. For students who attended a moreprestigious university in the metropolitan areas in Sweden and majored in the natural sciences, asheepskin effect of roughly 13 percent for men and 22 percent for women is traced. However,this result did not hold among students who attended. Keywords: Higher education, university enrollment; university choice; accessibility; universitycompletion; selection bias; propensity score matching, sheepskin, human capital.

Abstract:
The rapid expansion of university places in Hong Kong between the late 1980s and the middle of 1990s has brought about a number of changes to the local higher education scene. Primary among these changes is the increased choice of university education for students. Along with the widened choice, new consumer groups and a more competitive market environment are created. Consequently higher educational institutions have to place more emphasis on promoting and marketing their own programmes and courses. It appears that a wide array of student recruitment activities take place without a systematic analysis of the factors affecting student university choice. The lack of local research on university choice suggests that researching into this area to examine students' decision-making process would be worthwhile. This study presents the findings of a questionnaire survey of 1,684 first-year undergraduate entrants to a university in Hong Kong. Two sets of data were collected: first, the importance of twenty-eight identified factors in affecting student university choice; second, the students' rating of the University on these factors. The study aims to identify the influential factors in student university choice, and measure the strengths and weaknesses of the surveyed University against these factors.

Abstract:
Answering questions posed in natural language is a key task in Artificial Intelligence. However, producing a successful Question Answering (QA) system is challenging, since it requires text understanding, information retrieval, information extraction and text production. This task is made even harder by the difficulties in collecting reliable datasets and in evaluating techniques, two pivotal points for machine learning approaches. This has led many researchers to focus on Multiple-Choice Question Answering (MCQA), a special case of QA where systems must select the correct answers from a small set of alternatives. One particularly interesting type of MCQA is solving Standardized Tests, such as Foreign Language Proficiency exams, Elementary School Science exams and University Entrance exams. These exams provide easy-to-evaluate challenging multiple-choice questions of varying difficulties about large, but limited, domains. The Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) is a High School level exam taken every year by students all over Brazil. It is widely used by Brazilian universities as an entrance exam and is the world\'s second biggest university entrance examination in number of registered candidates. This exam consists in writing an essay and solving a multiple-choice test comprising questions on four major topics: Humanities, Language, Science and Mathematics. Questions inside each major topic are not segmented by standard scholar disciplines (e.g. Geography, Biology, etc.) and often require interdisciplinary reasoning. Moreover, the previous editions of the exam and their solutions are freely available online, making it a suitable benchmark for MCQA. In this work we automate solving the ENEM focusing, for simplicity, on purely textual questions that do not require mathematical thinking. We formulate the problem of answering multiple-choice questions as finding the candidate-answer most similar to the statement. We investigate two approaches for measuring textual similarity of candidate-answer and statement. The first approach addresses this as a Text Information Retrieval (IR) problem, that is, as a problem of finding in a database the most relevant document to a query. Our queries are made of statement plus candidate-answer and we use three different corpora as database: the first comprises plain-text articles extracted from a dump of the Wikipedia in Portuguese language; the second contains only the text given in the question\'s header and the third is composed by pairs of question and correct answer extracted from ENEM assessments. The second approach is based on Word Embedding (WE), a method to learn vectorial representation of words in a way such that semantically similar words have close vectors. WE is used in two manners: to augment IR\'s queries by adding related words to those on the query according to the WE model, and to create vectorial representations for statement and candidate-answers. Using these vectorial representations we answer questions either directly, by selecting the candidate-answer that maximizes the cosine similarity to the statement, or indirectly, by extracting features from the representations and then feeding them into a classifier that decides which alternative is the answer. Along with the two mentioned approaches we investigate how to enhance them using WordNet, a structured lexical database where words are connected according to some relations like synonymy and hypernymy. Finally, we combine different configurations of the two approaches and their WordNet variations by creating an ensemble of algorithms found by a greedy search. This ensemble chooses an answer by the majority voting of its components. The first approach achieved an average of 24% accuracy using the headers, 25% using the pairs database and 26.9% using Wikipedia. The second approach achieved 26.6% using WE indirectly and 28% directly. The ensemble achieved 29.3% accuracy. These results, slightly above random guessing (20%), suggest that these techniques can capture some of the necessary skills to solve standardized tests. However, more sophisticated techniques that perform text understanding and common sense reasoning might be required to achieve human-level performance.
Responder perguntas feitas em linguagem natural é uma capacidade há muito desejada pela Inteligência Artificial. Porém, produzir um sistema de Question Answering (QA) é uma tarefa desafiadora, uma vez que ela requer entendimento de texto, recuperação de informação, extração de informação e produção de texto. Além disso, a tarefa se torna ainda mais difícil dada a dificuldade em coletar datasets confiáveis e em avaliar as técnicas utilizadas, sendo estes pontos de suma importância para abordagens baseadas em aprendizado de máquina. Isto tem levado muitos pesquisadores a focar em Multiple-Choice Question Answering (MCQA), um caso especial de QA no qual os sistemas devem escolher a resposta correta dentro de um grupo de possíveis respostas. Um caso particularmente interessante de MCQA é o de resolver testes padronizados, tal como testes de proficiência linguística, teste de ciências para ensino fundamental e vestibulares. Estes exames fornecem perguntas de múltipla escolha de fácil avaliação sobre diferentes domínios e de diferentes dificuldades. O Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (ENEM) é um exame realizado anualmente por estudantes de todo Brasil. Ele é utilizado amplamente por universidades brasileiras como vestibular e é o segundo maior vestibular do mundo em número de candidatos inscritos. Este exame consiste em escrever uma redação e resolver uma parte de múltipla escolha sobre questões de: Ciências Humanas, Linguagens, Matemática e Ciências Naturais. As questões nestes tópicos não são divididas por matérias escolares (Geografia, Biologia, etc.) e normalmente requerem raciocínio interdisciplinar. Ademais, edições passadas do exame e suas soluções estão disponíveis online, tornando-o um benchmark adequado para MCQA. Neste trabalho nós automatizamos a resolução do ENEM focando, por simplicidade, em questões puramente textuais que não requerem raciocínio matemático. Nós formulamos o problema de responder perguntas de múltipla escolha como um problema de identificar a alternativa mais similar à pergunta. Nós investigamos duas abordagens para medir a similaridade textual entre pergunta e alternativa. A primeira abordagem trata a tarefa como um problema de Recuperação de Informação Textual (IR), isto é, como um problema de identificar em uma base de dados qualquer qual é o documento mais relevante dado uma consulta. Nossas consultas são feitas utilizando a pergunta mais alternativa e utilizamos três diferentes conjuntos de texto como base de dados: o primeiro é um conjunto de artigos em texto simples extraídos da Wikipedia em português; o segundo contém apenas o texto dado no cabeçalho da pergunta e o terceiro é composto por pares de questão-alternativa correta extraídos de provas do ENEM. A segunda abordagem é baseada em Word Embedding (WE), um método para aprender representações vetoriais de palavras de tal modo que palavras semanticamente próximas possuam vetores próximos. WE é usado de dois modos: para aumentar o texto das consultas de IR e para criar representações vetoriais para a pergunta e alternativas. Usando essas representações vetoriais nós respondemos questões diretamente, selecionando a alternativa que maximiza a semelhança de cosseno em relação à pergunta, ou indiretamente, extraindo features das representações e dando como entrada para um classificador que decidirá qual alternativa é a correta. Junto com as duas abordagens nós investigamos como melhorá-las utilizando a WordNet, uma base estruturada de dados lexicais onde palavras são conectadas de acordo com algumas relações, tais como sinonímia e hiperonímia. Por fim, combinamos diferentes configurações das duas abordagens e suas variações usando WordNet através da criação de um comitê de resolvedores encontrado através de uma busca gulosa. O comitê escolhe uma alternativa através de voto majoritário de seus constituintes. A primeira abordagem teve 24% de acurácia utilizando o cabeçalho, 25% usando a base de dados de pares e 26.9% usando Wikipedia. A segunda abordagem conseguiu 26.6% de acurácia usando WE indiretamente e 28% diretamente. O comitê conseguiu 29.3%. Estes resultados, pouco acima do aleatório (20%), sugerem que essas técnicas conseguem captar algumas das habilidades necessárias para resolver testes padronizados. Entretanto, técnicas mais sofisticadas, capazes de entender texto e de executar raciocínio de senso comum talvez sejam necessárias para alcançar uma performance humana.

Abstract:
Background: There has been an increasing trend of more Swedish higher education institutions competing for international students in response to international student mobility trends, self-management and budget securement, and government-backed recruitment campaigns. An emerging stream of higher education research is brand personality, and it may represent a robust basis for differentiation between many universities competing for student recruitment. Therefore, the study was built to get a deeper understanding of the impact of university brand personality on international students' choices. Purpose: Given the importance of brand personality for higher education institutions to deal with the international competition or differentiate themselves, the purpose of this study is to explore international student's perception of the university brand personality that affects the selection of a Swedish university. Method: To address the purpose of the exploratory study, the qualitative research approach was applied, combining with interpretivism philosophy. Semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions were conducted with 11 international first-year students. By utilizing abductive reasoning, the data was analyzed and interpreted through thematic analysis. Conclusion: Cosmopolitan is perceived as the most distinct brand personality dimension that Jönköping University possesses. Nevertheless, the degree of perception among foreign students regarding each brand personality dimension is different during the decision-making process. In the early stages, the potential students perceive prestige as the most distinct and significant dimension, followed by cosmopolitan. However, when the consumption process nears, cosmopolitan becomes an essentially more important dimension. Further, lively and sincerity are found to partly influence students' choice for higher education.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter aims to explore education as posthuman practice via the anatomy of a lesson plan. The lesson is narrated through the methodological device of speculative fiction. It is a fabulation set in the future but with roots that tangle with the past. Dark histories and futures are set to flicker here. Deception, de-identification and datafication lurk everywhere. If you are squeamish, you may wish to read no further. The datafication of people, their reduction to numbers, bytes and, most fatally of all, words, is laid out here in gory detail. If you do wish to read on, however, then you need nothing: just come as you are, and be assured as always that as the reader, choice is yours.

Mandikiana, Brian. "Choice and Expenditure: A Double Hurdle Model of Private Tutoring in Qatar." In Qatar University Annual Research Forum & Exhibition. Qatar University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.29117/quarfe.2020.0261.

Full text
Abstract:
To shed light on the demand for private tutoring, this paper presents new evidence for the case of Qatar. The household demand for private tutoring is estimated using the double hurdle model using a sample of 1226 participants from the 2012 Qatar Education Survey. Using statistical model selection criterion, the Cragg model is preferred overall to establish the demand for private tutoring in Qatar. The findings show that nationality of parents, mother’s educational background, the grade the student attends, and the type of school attended pose a significant influence on the likelihood of using private tutoring and the amount. These findings suggest that without monitoring, access to high quality education will be unequal. In particular, students from well-off families will benefit the most from additional hours of education and build an advantage that could eventually lead to the creation of an unequal society.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents a novel study on the examination of explainable machine learning (ML) technique to predict the mode choice for communities with a majority of blue-collared workers. A total of 4875 trip records for 1050 blue-collared workers have been used to predict their travel mode choices based on 11 trips and socio-economic attributes. The data used in this paper are obtained from the Ministry of Transportation and Communication (MoTC), which targeted blue-collared workers as they represent 89% of the total population in the State of Qatar. A total of four ML models are evaluated to propose the best predictive model. The four models were examined using different performance metrics. The models’ prediction results showed that the random forest (RF) model had the highest accuracy with a predictive accuracy of 0.97. Moreover, SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) approach is used to investigate the significance of the input features and explain the output of the RF model. The results of SHAP analysis revealed that occupation level is the most significant feature that influences the mode choice followed by occupation section, arrival time, and arrival municipality.

Abstract:
This report presents findings drawn from qualitative remote ethnography research with 24 UK participants conducted during July and August 2021, plus nine peer-to-peer interviews conducted by main sample participants with their friends and family. This research aimed to build on existing evidence in this area to fill gaps and provide an up-to-date snapshot of UK public experiences. Areas of focus included: Motivations for dietary choices Any gaps between consumer intention and behaviour Trade-offs and contextual differences (e.g. in vs. out-of home behaviours) The roles of specialist diets, substitution approaches, alternatives and ‘imitations’, locally/UK sourced meat and dairy, socio-demographics, culture and family Impact and role of food labelling and terminology The sample represented a range of variables including age, gender, nationality (England, Wales, Northern Ireland), urbanity/rurality, lifestage and household composition - and dietary profile (carnivore, ‘cutting down,’ vegetarian, vegan). This report was informed by an evidence review by the University of Bath on the factors underpinning the consumption of meat and dairy among the general public.

Abstract:
As part of ARL’s Research Library Impact Framework initiative, the Marston Science Library (MSL) of the University of Florida (UF) George A. Smathers Libraries partnered with the UF Department of Interior Design (IND) to explore how research libraries facilitate innovation, creativity, and problem-solving competencies among their patrons. The MSL-IND team explored a three-tiered hypothesis that included: (1) students’ use of library spaces can contribute to building knowledge and practical applications for library space renovations; (2) student perceptions of space desirability as measured by the Place-based Semantic Differential can be used to indicate gaps in the library space facilitation of creativity; and (3) the creative thought process requires spaces that are diverse, flexible, and under a certain amount of student control. The research team developed a mixed-method study that included a spatial analysis, a survey utilizing an adjective checklist, and several focus groups designed to validate the adjective checklist. The research team analysis of the resulting data identified recommendations related to creating a sense of place, solving for the group by addressing the individual, offering a palette of posture, increasing biophilia, and offering choice and control.

Abstract:
The article reveals the problems of mastering by future specialists of the project methodology of creating pedagogical situations in higher education institutions as a means of improving the quality of education. Objectives of the article: to determine the influence of the project method on the creation of pedagogical situations in the process of teaching students; the choice of logic and mechanism of design actions depends on the purpose and the initial conceptual position regarding the subject reincarnates; to study the influence of pedagogical situations on the quality of education in the higher pedagogical school; to diagnose the implementation of the projects method and pedagogical situations in the process of education at the university. The project method provides the presence of a problem that requires integrated knowledge and research for its solution. The results of the planned activities should have practical, theoretical and cognitive significance. Modeling of pedagogical situations is the process of formation of situations-models which simulate the state and dynamics of the educational process and fix the contradiction between the achieved and desired in the personality development in a certain time interval. During the forming experiment, pedagogical situations were used to form the professional competence of the future specialist.

Abstract:
Type K cement offers a lower slump than conventional concrete, even at a higher water-to-cement ratio. Therefore, a suitable chemical admixture should be added to the Type K concrete mix design at a feasible dosage to achieve and retain target slump. In this project, a compatibility study was performed for Type K concrete with commercially available water-reducing and air-entraining admixtures. Slump and air content losses were measured over a period of 60 minutes after mixing and a particular mid-range water-reducing admixture was found to retain slump effectively. Furthermore, no significant difference in admixture interaction between conventional and Type K concrete was observed. Another concern regarding the use of Type K concrete is that its higher water-to-cement ratio can potentially lead to higher permeability and durability issues. This study also explored the effectiveness of presoaked lightweight aggregates in providing extra water for Type K hydration without increasing the water-to-cement ratio. Permeability of concrete was measured to validate that the use of presoaked lightweight aggregates can lower water adsorption in Type K concrete, enhancing its durability. Extensive data analysis was performed to link the small-scale material test results with a structural test performed at Saint Louis University. A consistent relation was established in most cases, validating the effectiveness of both testing methods in understanding the performance of proposed shrinkage-mitigation strategies. Stress analysis was performed to rank the mitigation strategies. Type K incorporation is reported to be the most effective method for shrinkage-related crack mitigation among the mixes tested in this study. The second-best choice is the use of Type K in combination with either presoaked lightweight aggregates or shrinkage-reducing admixtures. All mitigation strategies tested in this work were proved to be significantly better than using no mitigation strategy.

Abstract:
Original Objectives and revisions: (1) "To determine the biosynthetic pathway of JHB3 in the adult C. capitata CA in order to establish parameters for the future choice and synthesis of suitable inhibitors". Modified: to determine the pattern of FR-7 biosynthesis during normal reproductive maturation, and identify enzymes potentially involved in its synthesis. (2) "To correlate allatal epoxidase activity to the biosynthesis of JHB3 at different stages of reproductive maturation/vitellogenesis and evaluate the hypothesis that a specific JH-epoxidase may be rate limiting". Modified: to study the effects of epoxidase inhibitors on the pattern of allatal JH biosynthesis in vitro and on female reproduction in vive. (3) "To probe and clone the gene homologous to ap from C. capitata, determine its exon-intron organization, sequence it and demonstrate its spatial and temporal expression in larvae, pupae and adults." The "Medfly" (Ceratitis capitata) is a serious polyphagous fruit pest, widely distributed in subtropical regions. Damage is caused by oviposition and subsequent development of larvae. JH's are dominant gonadotropic factors in insects. In the higher Diptera, to which the Medfly belongs, JHB3 is a major homolog. It comprises 95% of the total JH produced in vitro in D. melanogaster, with JH-III found as a minor component. The biosynthesis of both JH-III and JHB3 is dependent on epoxidation of double bonds in the JH molecule. The specificity of such epoxidases is unknown. The male accessory gland D. melanogaster produces a Sex Peptide, transferred to the female during copulation. SP reduces female receptivity while activating specific JH biosynthesis in vitro and inducing oviposition in vive. It also reduces pheromone production and activates CA of the moth Helicoverpa armigera. In a previous study, mutants of the apterous (ap) gene of D. melanogaster were analyzed. This gene induces previteilogenic arrest which can be rescued by external application of JH. Considerable progress has been made in recombinant DNA technology of the Medfly. When fully operative, it might be possible to effectively transfer D. melanogaster endocrine gene-lesions into the Medfly as a strategy for their genetic control. A marked heterogeneity in the pattern of JH homologs produced by Medfly CA was observed. Contrary to the anticipated biosynthesis of JHB;, significant amounts of an unknown JH-like compound, of unknown structure and provisionally termed FR-7, were produced, in addition to significant amounts of JH-III and JHB3. Inhibitors of monooxygenases, devised for their effects on ecdysteroid biosynthesis, affect Medfly JH biosynthesis but do not reduce egg deposition. FR-7 was isolated from incubation media of Medfly CA and examined by various MS procedures, but its structure is not yet resolved. MS analysis is being done in collaboration with Professor R.R.W. Rickards of the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia. A homologue of the ap gene of D. melanogaster exists in the Medfly. LIM domains and the homeo-domain, important for the function of the D. melanogaster ap gene, are conserved here too. Attempts to clone the complete gene were unsuccessful. Due to the complexity of JH homologs, presence of related FR-7 in the biosynthetic products of Medfly CA and lack of reduction in eggs deposited in the presence of monooxygenase inhibitors, inhibition of epoxidases is not a feasible alternative to control Medfly reproduction, and raises questions which cannot be resolved within the current dogma of hormonal control of reproduction in Diptera. The Medfly ap gene has similar domains to the D. melanogaster ap gene. Although mutant ap genes are involved in JH deficiency, ap is a questionable candidate for an endocrine lesion, especially since the D. melanogoster gene functions is a transcription factor.
