Full textAbstract:
The efficient management of natural and man-made disasters typically represents a major information exchange and coordination challenge, as in most countries a number of organizations are involved in all phases of the disaster management cycle. In this article, the authors introduce the approach of the Austrian national project INKA, which aims at improving civil-military interoperability between the Austrian Armed Forces and the corresponding federal state level institutions through the introduction of IT-supported information exchange without media discontinuities. Apart from providing a comprehensive overview of their interdisciplinary research methodology, the authors present a number of important results which are based on a detailed qualitative assessment of stakeholder requirements. Furthermore, they provide first insights into designing a valuable IT-platform for civil-military interoperability in Austria.

Full textAbstract:
The off-line coupling of high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) to electrospray ionisation/ion trap mass spectrometry (ESI-ITMS) is described. The Dionex carbohydrate membrane desalter (CMD) has been assessed as an on-line chromatographic desalting system to remove the high sodium concentration necessary for the HPAEC separation of partially methyl-esterified oligogalacturonides. The developed HPAEC configuration proved to be suitable for indirect coupling with ESI-ITMS. This paper provides some interesting features of positive- and negative-ion multistage tandem mass spectrometry (MSn) analysis of these acidic oligosaccharides. The spectra acquired in both negative- and positive-ion modes show characteristic fragment ions resulting from glycosidic bond and cross-ring cleavages. Some new mass spectrometric fragmentation routes are also described. The positive-ion mode gave more complex spectra but was as informative as the negative-ion mode. ESI-ITMS was revealed to be, as previously reported from direct use on an unseparated enzymatic digest, a powerful sequencing technique for the determination of linkage type and the methyl ester distribution of partially methyl-esterified oligogalacturonides. Moreover, unlike matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF MS), it gives valuable information on the elution behaviour of these oligomers in relation to their structure, namely the HPAEC co-elution of isomeric structures.

Using two measures of private information and high-frequency transaction data from the leading interdealer electronic broking system Reuters D2000-2, we examine the association between exchange rate return and contemporaneous order flow and the predictability power of lagged order flow on the future exchange rate return. Our empirical analysis demonstrates that at high frequency (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 min) there exists strong positive association between exchange rate returns and contemporaneous order flow. However, the results indicate weak predictability of order flow on the future exchange rate return.

Based on the survey of existing research work on collaborative design and on our experiences and work in product growth design theory, a feasible approach—collaborative product growth design method to integrate the genetic engineering methodology, collaborating tools and web based information into the automatic design activity has been proposed in this paper. Firstly, the product growth design strategy and its characteristics are studied based on automation technology in the product structure design. Then, to guarantee a successful transformation and good use of existing product data and related product series on internet, the information exchange model and web based virtual design gene pool model in the process of product growth design are put forward. Finally, the mechanism of the combination of product growth design and collaborative design process are described, and the framework of collaborative design based product growth design system is introduced. Through theoretical study and hard development work interesting and useful results have been obtained.

Full textAbstract:
The set of infrared spectra recorded at different levels of hydrogen–deuterium (H/D) exchange as a function of time were processed using spectral decomposition. The most precise information about H/D exchange of the NH groups of the protein backbone was retrieved by observing the intensity change of the nearest C=O stretching vibration. The H/D exchange at the protein backbone begins with NH groups bonded to C=O with a characteristic frequency of 1683 cm−1. These amide groups were initially free and are the first to accept H-bonds from water during the hydration process. The NH groups, which are connected to C=O groups with a characteristic band at 1657 cm−1, exchange at a slower rate. For both populations the pairs of comparable exchange rates were calculated with rate constants of 10−3 min 1, 0.014 min 1, 0.0046 min 1, and 0.09 min 1. The appearance of two different exchange rates for each population is a consequence of the distinct exposure of particular molecular groups to the solvent. Two additional bands sensitive to exchange are attributed to NH bending modes in the side chains and are located at 1610 cm−1 and 1585 cm−1. These NH groups undergo H/D exchange at the beginning of the exchange with exchange rates of 0.019 min−1 and 0.17 min−1, respectively. The calculated exchange rate for hydrating water molecules is 0.037 min−1. The distribution of water's exchange rate is extremely broad and covers almost the entire interval of the time-dependent experiment. From the efficiency of the exchange (96%) it is evident that some parts of the protein are completely forbidden to water molecules.

Full textAbstract:
Background Little information is available on the disposition of vancomycin during chronic peritoneal dialysis (PD) in children. The primary objective of this study was to investigate the disposition of vancomycin following intraperitoneal (IP) administration in children receiving short-dwell [ e.g., automated PD (APD)] and long-dwell [ e.g., continuous ambulatory PD (CAPD)] PD. Methods A 6-hour exchange containing vancomycin 500 mg/L, using an exchange volume of 1100 mL/m2 body surface area (BSA), was followed by 4-, 6-, and 8-hour antibiotic-free exchanges. The 8-hour exchange was followed by three to four 90-minute antibiotic-free exchanges. Serial blood and dialysis effluent samples were obtained and analyzed for vancomycin concentration by high-pressure liquid chromatography. Pharmacokinetic parameters were computed using noncompartmental methods. Results The bioavailability of vancomycin during a 6-hour IP exchange was 70% ± 5%, resulting in a delivered dose of 12.0 ± 1.8 mg/kg, and a 6-hour serum vancomycin concentration of 23.3 ± 7.2 μg/mL. Total body vancomycin clearance measured 10.72 ± 4.52 mL/minute/1.73 m2 BSA, while clearance attributable to PD measured 2.78 ± 1.08 mL/min/1.73 m2 BSA and accounted for 29% ± 11% of total vancomycin clearance. Dialysis clearance during long-dwell (CAPD) and short-dwell (APD) regimens was similar, measuring 2.46 ± 1.04 and 3.09 ± 1.28 mL/min/1.73 m2 BSA, accounting for 25% ± 13% and 32% ± 12% of total body clearance respectively. Conclusions Intraperitoneal absorption and dialysis clearance of vancomycin in children receiving PD are similar to those reported in adult dialysis patients. In contrast, total body clearance of vancomycin appears to be increased and the elimination half-life decreased in children, due to increased elimination by non-renal nondialysis routes. For intermittent IP vancomycin therapy in children with peritonitis, an IP load containing vancomycin 1000 mg/L (or 30 mg/kg), followed a single full-fill (1100 mL/m2 BSA) daily exchange, containing vancomycin 250 mg/L (or 7.5 mg/kg), from day 2 until the end of treatment will maintain a vancomycin dialysate concentration of >4 μg/mL.

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally, the speech act of requesting has been regarded as a face-threatening act (Brown & Levinson, 1987) due to the impositive nature on the addressee’s negative face. Yet, in specific service encounters, requests can no longer be seen as threatening (Antonopoulou, 2001). This is the case of tourist information offices, where mitigators may not be present due to the task-oriented nature of the exchange. This study aims to widen the scope of research on service encounters by examining 147 naturally occurring requests by native speakers of English in a tourist information office taking into account the variable of gender. Our findings suggest that females used more direct questions whereas men employed want statements to a much higher extent. These results have to be understood within the context of this specific service encounter, in which direct requests do not imply impoliteness or threats to the requestee’s negative face.

Full textAbstract:
The new modern world has entered a complex society. Nature its new material world of the Universe and its natural habitat, become more variable, over shorter periods of time. The system of nature–society–human is a holistic, dynamic, wave, open, steadily non-equilibrium system, with the isolation not only of internal ties, but also of external ones - with the space environment. Modern science views man, humanity and the biosphere as a single system, with growing demographic, food and medical problems. Human brains are biological, biophysical, neurophysiological and medico-social paradigms of information exchange. Modern communications are multilevel, multi-paradigm and interdisciplinary models of information exchange. The new competencies of psychoneuroimmunoendocrinology and psychoneuroimmunology play a strategic role in interdisciplinary science and interdisciplinary planning and decision-making. The introduction of multi-vector neurotechnologies of artificial intelligence and the principles of digital health care will contribute to the development of modern neuroscience and neuromarketing. The introduction of biocomputer nanoplatforms and modules consisting of small molecules, polymers, nucleic acids or proteins/peptides, nanoplatforms are programmed to detect and process external stimuli, such as magnetic fields or light, or internal stimuli, such as nucleic acids, enzymes or pH, using three different mechanisms: system assembly, system disassembly or system transformation. Current biocomputer nanoplatforms are invaluable for many applications, including medical diagnostics, biomedical imaging, environmental monitoring, and delivery of therapeutic drugs to target cell populations. Integration of different sources of information will allow researchers to obtain a new holistic picture of the pathophysiological process of the disease, which will cover from molecular changes to cognitive manifestations. Cognitive memory is a continuous act of creation, one of the largest and most capacious concepts that represents the main function of memory in general. The knowledge that a person receives during training is first perceived as something external, but then gradually they turn into experience and beliefs. Cognitive memory retains all the knowledge gained, representing a kind of “library”, and the process of assimilation and preservation becomes more complicated as the information received becomes more complex.

Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) are communication network systems that provide fast and efficient information transitions among N processors and N memory modules of systems. A typical MIN consists of layers of switching elements that are connected together in a predefined topology. The routing capability of a network depends on its specific topology. A shuffle-exchange network (SEN), a specific type of MIN that consists of 2 × 2 switching elements, has been widely considered a practical interconnection system. In this paper, a modified shuffle-exchange network with 1 × 2 switching elements at the input (source) stage, 2 × 2 switching elements at the intermediate stages, and 2 × 1 switching elements at the output (terminal) stage is proposed. The proposed network shows an improvement in the terminal reliability of SEN. The terminal reliability evaluation of the SEN and the modified SEN are demonstrated through numerical examples for different sizes of networks. The reliability evaluation of MINs is important, as it determines the usability and efficiency of the network to provide services. It is shown that the proposed modified SEN provides higher terminal reliability for network sizes larger than 4 inputs and 4 outputs (4 × 4).

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, most 3D casting process CAD systems are developed based on second development tools of various 3D CAD systems. However the type and version escalation of various 3D CAD systems in foundry enterprises greatly limit the application of 3D casting process CAD systems. By the data exchange between the neutral file format of 3D geometric model, these problems can be well solved. In this study, by taking advantage of universal CAD data-exchange standard iges for data exchange, a practical 3D CAD system was developed based on opencascade geometry kernel. The system has the function of design and modeling of practical casting process such as part information extraction, parting surface, gating system, riser system and so on. Finally taking a steel casting for example, the casting process is exported in the file of stl and the simulation analysis is carried by intecast software which demonstrate the system based on iges neutral file can well support the integration of casting CAD and CAE.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the study is to investigate which factors lead firms should consider in their quest to build trustworthy supply relationships with agro-commodity suppliers. We developed a model of opportunism-trust relationships, which we analyzed in the context of a smallholder agro-commodity supply market (SHACSM). The data source is a survey of 444 buyer-supplier relationships from the cocoa industry of Ghana. The analysis shows that relational satisfaction, cooperation and information exchange reduce perceptions of opportunism consistent with the literature. However, multigroup analysis suggests differences in perception between men and women farm owners/managers. While men perceived the important role of information exchange in reducing perceptions of opportunism, women farm owners/managers were more concerned about the negative consequence of opportunism on trust. We discuss implications for theory, public policy, and macromarketing practice, and suggest options for future research.

Full textAbstract:
The arguments for criminalizing prostitution surround public concerns—moral order, public health, and safety. For this reason, an understanding of attitudes about the nature and consequences of the practice, particularly among American males, the presumed consumers of sex-related exchanges, is needed. Specifically, how do contextual beliefs about the nature of prostitution (e.g., negative health effects, victimization risk, age of entry) shape policy preferences regarding prostitution? Data from a nationally representative survey developed to solicit sensitive information are utilized to assess these attitudes among a large sample of American men ( N = 2,525). Results show that paradoxically most men approve of legalizing commercial sex exchange, even while believing the practice harms prostitutes by increasing victimization risk and reducing their overall well-being. Multivariate analysis indicates divides in opinion regarding legalization support. Implications are discussed.

In this paper, we analyzed Sun et al.’s scheme which proposes an M2M (Machine-to-Machine) secure communication scheme by using existing TD SCMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) networks. They offer a password-based authentication and key establishment protocol for mutual authentication. Moreover, their proposed secure channel establishment protocol uses symmetric cryptography and one-way hash algorithms and they considered using their protected channel model for mobile users and smart home networks. In this paper, we propose to complete the missing part of Sun et al.’s scheme. This can occur by addressing privacy-preserving and message modification protection. Moreover, improvements can be made to MITM (Man-In-The-Middle) attack resistance, anomaly detection and DoS (Denial-of-Service) attacks with timing. ECDH (Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman) cryptography based protected cipher-key exchange operation used on initial setup and key-injection operations to provide secure user registration, user password change and home gateway network join phases. We simulated both the proposed and Sun et al.’s schemes. We analyzed Sun et al.’s scheme for performance, network congestion and resource usage. Missing privacy-preserving was analyzed and compared with the GLARM scheme, and the storage cost of each phase was analyzed according to Ferrag et al.’s survey proposal. In Sun et al.’s scheme, future work for the security architecture of the home network is related to Li et al.’s protocol being implemented in our proposed design.

Full textAbstract:
Background HIV disproportionately affects young Black men who have sex with men (YBMSM) in the United States. eHealth holds potential for supporting linkage and engagement in HIV prevention and care and the delivery of HIV information to YBMSM. Objective This study aims to investigate HIV information acquisition and use among YBMSM who use the internet. Methods A web-based self-administered survey and semistructured interviews were conducted. The survey findings informed the development of the interview guide. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the survey sample, and interview data were analyzed thematically using modified grounded theory methodologies. Results Among the internet sample (N=83), the average age was 29.2 (SD 3.5) years, 41% (n=34) of participants self-reported living with HIV, 43% (n=36) were HIV-negative, and 15% (n=13) were unsure of their HIV status. Most participants (n=79, 95%) acquired HIV information through the internet while using a mobile phone. Web-based HIV information was intentionally sought from consumer health information websites (n=31, 37%), government health information websites (n=25, 30%), and social media (n=14, 17%). Most men incidentally acquired HIV information via advertisements on social media sites and geospatial dating apps (n=54, 65%), posts on social media sites from their web-based social ties (n=44, 53%), and advertisements while browsing the internet (n=40, 48%). Although the internet is the top source of HIV information, health care providers were the most preferred (n=42, 50%) and trusted (n=80, 96%) source of HIV information. HIV information was used to facilitate the use of HIV prevention and care services. The qualitative sample included YBMSM across a range of ages and at different points of engagement in HIV prevention and care. Qualitative findings included the importance of the internet as a primary source of HIV information. The internet was used because of its ease of accessibility, because of its ability to maintain anonymity while searching for sensitive information, and to mitigate intersecting stigmas in health care settings. Participants used HIV information to assess their risk for HIV and AIDS, support their skill building for HIV prevention, inform patient–doctor communication, and learn about HIV prevention and treatment options. Men expressed concerns about their diminishing access to online spaces for HIV information exchange among YBMSM because of censorship policies on social media sites and the stigmatizing framing and tone of mass media HIV-prevention advertisements encountered while using the internet. Conclusions YBMSM in this sample had high utilization of eHealth for HIV information acquisition and use but diminished access to their preferred and most trusted source of HIV information: health care providers. Future eHealth-based HIV interventions culturally tailored for YBMSM should aim to reduce intersectional stigma at the point of care and support patient–provider communication. The findings demonstrate the need for community-informed, culturally tailored HIV messaging and online spaces for informational support exchange among YBMSM.

Full textAbstract:
In the late 1980s, a number of exciting yet puzzling observations resulted from experiments investigating the coupling between two ferromagnetic layers separated by a nonferromagnetic spacer layer. A pioneering experiment by Grünberg et al. showed that Fe layers separated by a thin Cr spacer aligned with antiparallel magnetization, but with Au as the spacer layer, a parallel alignment occurred. The long-range magnetic dipole from each layer would tend to explain antiparallel alignment; small pinholes in the spacer layer would produce parallel alignment. Alternatively, the layers might be coupled through the spacer-layer conduction electrons by the Ruder man-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) effect. This was expected to produce an oscillation in coupling as the spacer thickness increased, that is, an oscillation between parallel and antiparallel alignment. Oscillatory coupling was first observed by Parkin et al. Researchers had also found that, at spacer thicknesses where antiparallel alignment occurred, the Fe/Cr/Fe system can exhibit a giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect, that is, an anomalously large change in resistance when a magnetic field is applied. The potential technological importance of the GMR effect to magnetic sensing and magnetic information storage added further impetus to the already rapidly growing area of research in magnetic multilayers.

H2O2 is a highly reactive oxygen metabolite that has been implicated as an important mediator of inflammation-induced intestinal injury associated with ischaemia/reperfusion, radiation and inflammatory bowel disease. Previous studies have shown that H2O2 inhibits NaCl absorption and activates Cl− secretion in the rat and rabbit colon. To date, however, almost no information is available with respect to its effect on the human intestinal apical anion exchanger Cl−/OH− (HCO3−). The present studies were, therefore, undertaken to examine the direct effects of H2O2 on OH− gradient-driven DIDS (4,4′-di-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2′-disulfonate)-sensitive 36Cl− uptake utilizing a post-confluent transformed human intestinal epithelial cell line, Caco-2. Our results demonstrate that H2O2 (1 mM for 60 min) significantly inhibited (approx. 60%; P<0.05) Cl−/OH− exchange activity in Caco-2 cells. H2O2-mediated inhibition of Cl−/OH− exchange activity involved the Src kinase Fyn and PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase)-dependent pathways. H2O2 also induced phosphorylation of Fyn and p85 (the regulatory subunit of PI3K) in Caco-2 cells. Moreover, an increased association of Fyn and p85 was observed in response to H2O2, resulting in the activation of the downstream target PLCγ1 (phospholipase Cγ1). Elevated intracellular Ca2+ levels and PKCα (protein kinase Cα) functioned as downstream effectors of H2O2-induced PLCγ1 activation. Our results, for the first time, provide evidence for H2O2-induced Src kinase Fyn/PI3K complex association. This complex association resulted in the subsequent activation of PLCγ1 and Ca2+-dependent PKCα, resulting in the inhibition of Cl−/OH− exchange activity. These findings suggest that H2O2-induced inhibition of the Cl−/OH− exchange process may play an important role in the pathophysiology of diarrhoea associated with inflammatory disorders, where the amount of reactive oxygen species is markedly elevated.

The article analyzes an Internet meme as the newest information product of the society and a result of its intellectual and artistic practices. The analysis of the role of the Internet memes, created by means of the popular artistic images modification in the modern digital culture is made. Such methods as semiotic and hermeneutic analysis of the Internet memes are used in the research work. The authors seek to explore the reasons for the popularity of memes in the processes of symbolic production and exchange in contemporary society and the modern digital culture, which is the purpose of this study. We consider that Internet meme created by using and modifying artistic images is a new phenomenon in human public life and new type of communication. As a hypothesis, a distinctive feature of the Internet meme is the surprise and laughter it causes in the “man of the Internet”. The main result of this article is the analysis the role of Internet memes in the newest information space and their specific features as a special information product of the modern digital culture. The authors draw attention to the popularity of Internet memes caused by an increase in information chaos in the modern symbolic production and exchange and, therefore, a person’s confusion when meeting a large number of information.

The Internet of Things is beginning to play an increasingly important role in information technologies, in industrial production and in everyday life and in. The Internet of things is a concept of a network of objects that involves the exchange of data between devices - "things". Such data exchange doesnt often involve human participation, or it is minimized. The person acts as a process designer or a user. An important task for the humanities is the rethinking of Internet of things phenomenon. The Internet of things is an interesting ontological phenomenon, within which takes place the transformation of the being of modern man. On the one hand, a person releases time and energy for his own development in directions related to creativity and doesnt care about "things" - objects and devices that lead an autonomous "life". On the other hand, to some extent, the person himself, being involved in the technological and information universe, becomes a "thing" and loses many dimensions of his ontological potencies. The modern man lives in conditions of multi-layered existence. Modern information technologies, and, in particular, the Internet of things, symptomatically fix the split of human existence on the one hand, and its diversity on the other. One of the important tasks of modern philosophy is to develop approaches to the analysis of the man’s ontological foundations in modern informational and technological world.

Various social phenomena are often expressed on the social media twitter to attract responses from the public around the user. One of the interesting public responses in communication studies is language style. The issue of sexual harassment and violence against women is a common topic which gets a lot of response from the public. This research aims to analyze the differences between women and man language on the response column from a thread of twitter social media that is about a woman who had encountered a pressure and sexual harassment by the doctor who carried out the rapid test of SARS-CoV-2 on Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. This research was using qualitative content analysis approach toward thread’s response column on the twitter. We have found that the language style of man and women on the thread were different. The language of women relatively unclear compare to the man. The sentences created by the women used a lot of question tag at the end, whereas a man relatively did not. Women also did reluctantly to cuss and abuse compare to man. Women were relatively involved in conversation related with heart while men relatively involved in report conversation. Responses or interruptions by women were not to control, challenge, or threaten, but to support or emphasize the conversation. Meanwhile, men used more instrumental talk, report information, solve problems, and solve problems through information exchange. We also found a similarity between women and man, which was a language of draw conclusion.

Summary Objectives : The concept of our system is not only to manage material flows, but also to provide an integrated management resource, a means of correcting errors in medical treatment, and applications to EBM (evidence-based medicine) through the data mining of medical records. Methods : Prior to the development of this system, electronic processing systems in hospitals did a poor job of accurately grasping medical practice and medical material flows. With POAS (Point of Act System), hospital managers can solve the so-called, “man, money, material, and information” issues inherent in the costs of healthcare. Results : The POAS system synchronizes with each department system, from finance and accounting, to pharmacy, to imaging, and allows information exchange. We can manage Man (Business Process), Material (Medical Materials and Medicine), Money (Expenditure for purchase and Receipt), and Information (Medical Records) completely by this system. Conclusions : Our analysis has shown that this system has a remarkable investment effect-saving over four million dollars per year-through cost savings in logistics and business process efficiencies. In addition, the quality of care has been improved dramatically while error rates have been reduced – nearly to zero in some cases.

Purpose There can be activities that cannot reduce times by conventional single minute exchange of die (SMED) tools. In this case more advanced tools are needed. The purpose of this paper is to integrate the fuzzy Taguchi method into the SMED method in order to improve the setup time. The reason for using fuzzy logic is the subjective evaluation of factor’s levels assessment by experts. Subjective assessment contains a certain degree of uncertainty and is vagueness. The fuzzy Taguchi method provides to determining optimal setup time parameters in an activity of SMED. So it is possible to reduce time more than the conventional SMED method. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the SMED method and the fuzzy Taguchi method are used. Findings In this study, it has been shown that the setup time is reduced (from 196 to 75 min) and the optimum value can be given at the intermediate value by the fuzzy Taguchi method. Originality/value In this limited literature research, the authors have not found a study using the fuzzy Taguchi method in the SMED method.

A significant proportion of men, ages 50 to 70 years, have, and continue to receive prostate specific antigen (PSA) tests to screen for prostate cancer (PCa). Approximately 70% of men with an elevated PSA level will not subsequently be diagnosed with PCa. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 13 men with an elevated PSA level who had not been diagnosed with PCa. Uncertainty was prominent in men’s reactions to the PSA results, stemming from unanswered questions about the PSA test, PCa risk, and confusion about their management plan. Uncertainty was exacerbated or reduced depending on whether health care providers communicated in lay and empathetic ways, and provided opportunities for question asking. To manage uncertainty, men engaged in information and health care seeking, self-monitoring, and defensive cognition. Results inform strategies for meeting informational needs of men with an elevated PSA and confirm the primary importance of physician communication behavior for open information exchange and uncertainty reduction.

AbstractHow did one man living on an island come to acquire information about the rest of the vast archipelago? This article traces the inter-island information networks of Georg Everhard Rumphius (1627–1702), an employee of the Dutch East India Company, who was able to explore the natural world of the wider archipelago without ever leaving the Moluccan island of Ambon. This article demonstrates the complexities of Rumphius's inter-island networks, as he collected information about plants and objects from islands near and far. Using his administrative, commercial and household networks, Rumphius was able to interact with local actors from across the social spectrum, whose own active collection, mediation and circulation of objects and information overlapped with imperial activities in the archipelago. This article examines Rumphius as both a collector and a mediator, who negotiated between multiple economies of exchange and translated information from different islands for his distant European readership. Such practices of localized translation demonstrate how knowledge produced on one island was the product of criss-crossing inter-island networks, as the information concerned underwent its own complicated processes of transmission and transformation within the archipelago before reaching its intended audience in Europe.

Full textAbstract:
6567 Background: A web based survey of attitudes and awareness of cancer survivors (Ca. surv) towards CCT was performed from 3–4, 2005. The survey was developed jointly by the Coalition of Cancer Cooperative Groups and Michigan State University (MSU) and executed by MSU and Knowledge Networks (KN). Methods: Ca surv. were obtained from a panel of 40,000 adults through KN based on a US household probablility sample who agree to weekly surveys in exchange for a free MSN box and ISP service. 2,029 panel members reported a cancer diagnosis (dx); 1,788/2,029 (88%) agreed to participate. Results: About 10% of Ca surv. are aware of CCT opportunities at the time of dx. 73% become aware through a physician (ASCO 2006: 6061). Ca surv. were asked to rank the most trusted sources of health care information from a list of 23 categories on a 0 (least) to 10 (most) scale. Physicians scored the highest (8.6) followed by information from the NCI (8.4) and reports from societies of cancer physicians/researchers (8.3). Although not significantly different from each other, all were significantly different from the other 20 sources (p<.05). CCT aware Ca surv. were asked whether the physician discouraged, was neutral or encouraged participation or made a little, moderate or great deal of effort to educate them and find a CCT. Enrollment (%) was directly related (p< 0.01) to the perceived physician involvement as follows: Encouragement: discouraged (0); neutral (16); encouraged (84); Educate: little (22); moderate (41%); great deal (64%); Find trial: little (23); moderate (39); great deal (82%). Of the 90% of Ca surv. who were not aware of CCT, 65% indicated that they would be somewhat or very receptive to enrollment if they had been made aware of an opportunity. Conclusion: Ca surv. are not CCT averse a priori. The physician is the most trusted, primary source of awareness and influence in decisions concerning CCT. Although there are myriad reported barriers to CCT participation, increased CCT participation hinges upon physician commitment and communication; conversely, a lack thereof may be the greatest barrier to increased CCT participation. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

SummaryBackground: The integrity of collection protocols in biobanking is essential for a high-quality sample preparation process. However, there is not currently a well-defined universal method for integrating collection protocols in the biobanking information system (BIMS). Therefore, an electronic schema of the collection protocol that is based on Extensible Markup Language (XML) is required to maintain the integrity and enable the exchange of collection protocols.Materials and Methods: The development and implementation of an electronic specimen collection protocol schema (eSCPS) was performed at two institutions (Muenster and Cologne) in three stages. First, we analyzed the infrastructure that was already established at both the biorepository and the hospital information systems of these institutions and determined the requirements for the sufficient preparation of specimens and documentation. Second, we designed an eSCPS according to these requirements. Fi -nally, a prospective study was conducted to implement and evaluate the novel schema in the current BIMS.Results: We designed an eSCPS that provides all of the relevant information about collection protocols. Ten electronic collection protocols were generated using the supplementary Protocol Editor tool, and these protocols were successfully implemented in the existing BIMS. Moreover, an electronic list of collection protocols for the current studies being performed at each institution was included, new collection protocols were added, and the existing protocols were redesigned to be modifiable. The documentation time was significantly reduced after implementing the eSCPS (5 ± 2 min vs. 7 ± 3 min; p = 0.0002).Conclusion: The eSCPS improves the integrity and facilitates the exchange of specimen collection protocols in the existing open-source BIMS.

The objective of the study was to examine the role and challenge of ECX in coffee supply by measuring the core function ECX. The study used primary data collected from 120 respondents and analyzed through descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The study used six core function of ECX i.e. market information, enabling competition, market development, price discovery, and storage and grading and facilitation of physical commodity to measure the role and challenge of ECX. The results of the descriptive statistics showed that among ECX‘s core function, facilitation of physical commodity trade service was given the highest score while the storage and grading service was given the least score by the respondents. The multiple linear regression result indicate that three independent variable (Market information, market development and facilitation of physical commodity trade) were found to be significantly and positively influence the coffee supply and performance. Facilitation of physical commodity trade was significant at 1% while market information and market development were significant at 10%. Even though ECX have contributed to coffee supply and marketing performance, it is not free from a problem. The challenge are associated with service delivery system like grading system to test the quality of coffee was not uniform and biasedness one client from the other and wastage of time to test and low quality grading widely observed. ECX experts also indicate that absence of skilled man power, low government attention and capital shortage also another challenge in coffee marketing and supply. ECX should improve the service of storage and grading by introducing new technology and by maintaining transparent service. ECX should also build better warehouse management system in order to avoid wastage and quality deterioration.

Abstract. Croplands are man-made ecosystems that have high net primary productivity during the growing season of crops, thus impacting carbon and other exchanges with the atmosphere. These exchanges play a major role in nutrient cycling and climate change related issues. An accurate representation of crop phenology and physiology is important in land-atmosphere carbon models being used to predict these exchanges. To better estimate time-varying exchanges of carbon, water, and energy of croplands using the Simple Biosphere (SiB) model, we developed crop-specific phenology models and coupled them to SiB. The coupled SiB-phenology model (SiBcrop) replaces remotely-sensed NDVI information, on which SiB originally relied for deriving Leaf Area Index (LAI) and the fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fPAR) for estimating carbon dynamics. The use of the new phenology scheme within SiB substantially improved the prediction of LAI and carbon fluxes for maize, soybean, and wheat crops, as compared with the observed data at several AmeriFlux eddy covariance flux tower sites in the US mid continent region. SiBcrop better predicted the onset and end of the growing season, harvest, interannual variability associated with crop rotation, day time carbon uptake (especially for maize) and day to day variability in carbon exchange. Biomass predicted by SiBcrop had good agreement with the observed biomass at field sites. In the future, we will predict fine resolution regional scale carbon and other exchanges by coupling SiBcrop with RAMS (the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System).

Issues related to information culture evoke a natural interest of Ukrainian and foreign researchers. In addition to purely technical aspects and the development of competency characteristics, the problem of the development of students’ information culture and their personal characteristics is acquiring particular relevance. Virtual space has significant advantages in terms of the speed of information distribution, communication opportunities, and the exchange of scientific data. At the same time, threats are evident, in particular the growth of cybercrime, aggression, dependence, and manipulation. This is particularly obvious in the youth environment. The creation of national elite in modern universities, the openness of the information space, globalization, and the growth of competition in the labor market require operational information for specification of educational policy and adoption of optimal managerial decisions. It becomes increasingly clear that there is a contradiction between the low level of information and analytical skills of students and the high level of requirements for the organization of work with computer technology; sufficient level of theoretical and practical knowledge and low level of skills necessary for work with information technologies; sufficient level of professional training and low level of readiness to use computer technologies in educational activities. Information culture is considered as one of the facets of the universal culture associated with the social nature of man and is the product of its various creative abilities. The need for original specialized courses, which allow quick response to new challenges and improve the quality of professional training of students is constantly increasing. The article outlines the preconditions for improving students' information culture in view of the experience of foreign countries and Ukraine.

Since 2016, the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation has been carrying out a fundamental reform of pricing and estimated rationing in construction [1]. The main objective of the reform is to create conditions on the basis of the Federal State Information System for Building Pricing (FSIS BP) for the transition to a resource method to determine the estimated cost of construction, the formation of a reliable initial contract price on this basis, including using enlarged building price standards. The essence of the task is insurance against the growth of the real cost of construction. In developed economies, this is achieved through exchange mechanisms using derivative financial instruments such as options.

Tools for recording individual perspectives of realities have long constituted the guiding theme for geographers. In this article, the “bird’s eye” view resides within the spectator of complex socio-economic realities. The cases presented in this paper show the practical contributions of IT, especially of e-learning platforms and of Geographic Information Science and Systems, in facilitating the exchange of fact-based concepts for the construction of social spaces and spaces of understanding. Societal learning can enlarge and approximate spaces of understanding. Social spaces are a type of “social capital”. Learning changes interdisciplinary realities (“n”) seen through the lenses of interculturally diverse understanding (“m”), hence it constitutes a m:n type of “mapping perceptions” that successfully facilitates consensus finding.

Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates the effects of two display characteristics on decisions in a preferential choice task under conditions of strict uncertainty. Participants receiving information in tabular format (n = 83) made fewer compensatory choices, more maximin choices, and selected dominated alternatives more often when outcome distributions were described in terms of a midpoint and variability rather than minimum and maximum values. In contrast, participants given data in a graphical format (n = 80) made more compensatory choices with midpoint-variability than with min-max graphs. Participants given information in graphical format selected fewer dominated alternatives than did participants who received the same information in tabular format. These findings have important policy implications. While it may be desirable to use display characteristics to influence employees to make decisions consistent with organizational policies, the desirability of providing such “persuasive” decision guidance is problematic in settings where the information provider and the decision maker are independent parties to an economic exchange.

Background. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) are fatal, noncurable, but treatable diseases that strongly affect the patients.Objective. To describe patients’ experience of information relating to PAH or CTEPH.Methods. A qualitative method using content analysis was applied. Seventeen patients (thirteen women and four men) aged 28–73 years from a regional PAH centre were individually interviewed.Results. Three categories that describe patients’ experiences of information emerged: handling of information, struggling with feelings that also affect others, and vulnerability associated with uncertainty. The patients would have welcomed more information to relatives from the healthcare professionals. Shortcomings on communicating a prognosis were experienced. The mediated information and knowledge gave the patients insight into physical or psychosocial problems. Mutual exchange of information between patients and healthcare professionals were marred by different experiences of attitudes, behaviour, and ownership.Conclusions. In the future, healthcare organizations must struggle to achieve a holistic healthcare by making it more person-centred, and they must also promote cooperation between PAH centres and local healthcare providers. It is essential to determine the most appropriate and valuable path of information and communication and, thereby, the most cost-effective management of PAH or CTEPH.

The article deals with the study of the essence and features of the information culture of an individual and clarification of its role in the field of legal regulation of public relations in the state. The methodology of research of the phenomenon of personal information culture is based on provisions of the general scientific dialectical method of scientific knowledge. Besides, formal legal and formal logical methods were applied for full and thorough coverage of the topic of this article. It is substantiated that the development of such a culture in the modern period is mainly influenced by internal factors (including observance of the principle of legality, the rule of law, and protection of human rights), and external threats to human and civil security within the state. It is proved that information culture in the narrow sense can be interpreted as the best ways to exchange data, information and present them to interested

consumers to solve theoretical and practical problems, as well as mechanisms to improve the learning system, prepare people for effective use of information. The main elements of information culture include the following: a) communicative (communication culture); b) lexical (culture of preparing and issuing business documentation, language culture); c) intellectual (culture of research and mental activity); d) information and legal; worldview and moral. All these elements of the personal information culture are interconnected and interdependent. It is concluded that the topic of personal data protection, which has reached a new level, has become especially relevant at the present stage of development of the information society. It is argued that a promising mechanism for personal data protection in the information sphere will be the use of Blockchain technologies, which will ensure reliable synchronization and security of data, prevent them from changing as a result of external interference. It is proposed to interpret the information culture of an individual as a reflection of a set of material and intellectual values of man, which allow to effectively apply various methods of working with information, including being a participant in information relations. A promising study in the field of information culture of an individual will be the development of the structure of this category and its relationship with other legal categories of information law. A particularly important issue that will require legal regulation will be the field and technology of using artificial intelligence as a phenomenon that will not only help to make a quantum leap in medicine, science, education, but also carries great security risks.

The aim of the article is to examine the martingale hypothesis of market efficiency on high-frequency data of the soya bean futures traded in National Commodity and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX) of India using multiple variance ratio (VR) tests from February 2015 to August 2015. The study employs high-frequency future prices of 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 min time intervals mainly to decipher the efficiency of processing information by soya bean traders during intraday sessions of futures trading. The results of VR tests confirm that except prices of 5 and 10 min intervals which displays weak form of market efficiency, all other samples follow martingale hypothesis. The findings suggest that as information gets absorbed promptly in the intraday NCDEX soya bean futures prices, there exists fairly less opportunities to explore any trading strategy for profitable outcomes in the soya bean futures market in India.

AbstractThis is a study of the spatial, social and cultural context of gossip in early modern Venice based on oral testimony to the magistracy of the Avogaria di Comun, and centering on the making of marriages. Recent studies in sociology and anthropology suggest that gossip was part of a complex system of social relationships, particularly within an urban context. Far from being an exclusively female practice, both men and women engaged in gossip, and this exchange of information has much to tell us about a range of social norms. A consideration of the spatial locations within which gossip took place concludes that the circulation of information undermined formal distinctions between the public and the private. It also emphasizes both the importance of visual observation in starting a chain of comments based first on unspoken assumptions, and the role of individuals in deliberately supplying information about themselves to gossip networks.

Full textAbstract:
First, we show a new inexpensive defense against intruders and the man-in-the-middle attack in the Kirchhoff's-loop-Johnson-like-noise (KLJN) cipher. Then instead of point-to-point communication, we propose a high efficiency, secure network. The (in the idealistic case totally secure) classical network is based on an improved version of the KLJN cipher. The network consists of two parallel networks: i) a chain-like network of securely communicating, electrically isolated Kirchhoff-loops with Johnson-like noise and driven by a specific switching process of the resistances; ii) and a regular non-secure data network with a Coordinator-server. If the classical network is fast enough, the chain-like network of N communicators can generate and share an N bit long secret key within a single clock period of the ciphers and that implies a significant speed-up compared to the point-to-point key exchanges used by quantum communication or RSA-like key exchange methods. This is a teleportation-type multiple telecloning of the classical information bit because the information transfer can take place without the actual presence of the information bit at the intermediate points of the network. At the point of the telecloning, the clone is created by the product of a bit coming from the regular network and a secure bit from the local KLJN ciphers. The same idea could be implemented with quantum communicator pairs producing entangled secure bit at the two ends. This is the telecloning of classical bits via quantum communicator networks without telecloning the quantum states.

Full textAbstract:
Menstrual cycle phase has long been thought to modulate thermoregulatory function. However, information pertaining to the effects of menstrual phase on time-dependent changes in whole body dry and evaporative heat exchange during exercise-induced heat stress and the specific heat load at which menstrual phase modulates whole body heat loss remained unavailable. We therefore used direct calorimetry to continuously assess whole body dry and evaporative exchange in 12 habitually active, non-endurance-trained, eumenorrheic women [21 ± 3 (SD) yr] within the early-follicular, late-follicular, and midluteal menstrual phases during three 30-min bouts of cycling at increasing fixed exercise intensities of 40% (Low), 55% (Moderate), and 70% (High) peak oxygen uptake, each followed by a 15-min recovery, in hot, dry conditions (40°C, 15% relative humidity). This model elicited equivalent rates of metabolic heat production among menstrual phases ( P = 0.80) of ~250 (Low), ~340 (Moderate), and ~430 W (High). However, dry and evaporative heat exchange and the resulting changes in net heat loss (dry ± evaporative heat exchange) were similar among phases (all P > 0.05), with net heat loss averaging 216 ± 43 (Low), 287 ± 63 (Moderate), and 331 ± 75 W (High) across phases. Accordingly, cumulative body heat storage (summation of heat production and loss) across all exercise bouts was similar among phases ( P = 0.55), averaging 464 ± 122 kJ. For some time, menstrual cycle phase has been thought to modulate heat dissipation; however, we show that menstrual cycle phase does not influence the contribution of whole body dry and evaporative heat exchange or the resulting changes in net heat loss or body heat storage, irrespective of the heat load. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Menstrual phase has long been thought to modulate thermoregulatory function in eumenorrheic women during exercise-induced heat stress. Contrary to that perception, we show that when assessed in young, non-endurance-trained women within the early-follicular, late-follicular, and midluteal phases during three incremental exercise-induced heat loads in hot, dry conditions, menstrual phase does not modify whole body dry and evaporative heat exchange or the resulting changes in body heat storage, regardless of the heat load employed.

Full textAbstract:
Quality features are one of the most important issues that should be considered during the development of Mobile Social Networks (MSN) applications in learning environments. These features are considered one of the most important factors for the successful development of any system. In order to increase the chance of the successful development of MSN applications, there need to identify well-defined set of quality features for MSN applications adoption in the learning environment. Therefore, this study proposes a model that captures most important quality features of MSN applications based on extending the DeLone and McLean information systems success model empirically. The proposed model of this study is examined empirically through a survey of 235 students. The findings also indicate that there are positive relationships between students satisfaction, behavioral intention to use with the overall quality features. The proposed model presents for researchers and designers the most important quality features as guidelines to design and develop MSN applications with a positive effect on students’ behavioral intention to use of MSN applications, and this situation can lead to enhance the learning outcomes using this new application.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we propose a joint power allocation, time switching (TS) factor and relay selection scheme for an energy harvesting two-way relaying communication network (TWRN), where two transceivers exchange information with the help of a wireless-powered relay. By exploiting the TS architecture at the relay node, the relay node needs to use additional time slots for energy transmission, reducing the transmission rate. Thus, we propose a joint resource allocation algorithm to maximize the max-min bidirectional instantaneous information rate. To solve the original non-convex optimization problem, the objective function is decomposed into three sub-problems and solved sequentially. The closed-form solution of the transmit power of two sources and the optimal TS factor can be obtained by the information rate balancing technology and the proposed time allocation scheme, respectively. At last, the optimal relay node can be obtained. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is better than the traditional schemes and power-splitting (PS) scheme.

M-health applications and their useD.L. Publications Hoff man and T.P. Novaka has already pointed to the impact of changes in Internet communications multi-to-many communication and changes in consumer behavior as a result of technology development. The development of the Internet and information technology, according to R.V. Kozinets has determined the emergence of virtual communities, including consumers, that are “e-consumer groups whose online interactions are based on information exchange, enthusiasm and knowledge about consumer experiences”. In today’s economy characterized by high levels of competition, the ability to generate content content and values that are relevant to the customer is of particular importance. For this purpose, the offered product/service, also in the form of a mobile application, should satisfy its information needs. Today’s mobile technology users expect solutions that provide immediate interaction and data availability. The aim of this article is to analyze selected mobile m-health applications and to present the results of direct research on the evaluation of sports applications by runners.
