Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the philanthropic fund allocation strategy implemented by the Aksi Cepat Tanggap with the Masyarakat Relawan Indonesia (ACT-MRI) of Parepare. The approach in this research is a qualitative approach with a case study research design. The results showed that philanthropic funds collected by MRI of Parepare City would be distributed into four main programs, intense programs, compensation for the poor of the MSR system (Mobile System Resecue), assistance in the goods to money transformation and Direct Delivery of aid funds to recipients. The distribution adapted diversivication strategy. This research is expected to be a reference to the management and volunteers to improve cooperation with the government and educational institutions. Cooperation with the government is needed so that the intense program and MSR can run more optimally without overlapping interests. Educational institutions can make a contribution in the form of volunteers so that human resources can be guaranteed

Abstract:

This study examined the availability and staffing of acute psychiatry beds in NSW and ACT. “Gazetted” acute psychiatry hospitals (which take compulsory admissions under mental health law) were polled directly for bed numbers, occupancy and staffing for the year 1990–1991. The NSW Department of Health provided beds numbers for non-gazetted and private hospitals. Four analyses sequentially reallocated beds according to the origin of patients to estimate acute bed availability and use by regional populations. Socio-demographic determinants of acute admission rates were measured. Acute “gazetted” beds averaged 13.2 per 100,000 population but ranged from 6.9 to 49.1 per 100,000 when cross-regional flows were considered. “Non-gazetted” beds raised the provision to 15.5 per 100,000 and private beds raised provision further to 24.5 per 100,000. Inner metropolitan provision was higher than rural or provincial provision. The only determinant of the admission rate to gazetted beds was the number of available beds. Bed availability did not affect either bed occupancy or referral of patients to remote hospitals. Nursing staffing of gazetted units was reasonably uniform, although smaller units had significantly more nurses per bed. Medical staffing was highly variable and appears determined by staff availability. The average provision of acute psychiatric beds approximates lowest levels seen in international models for psychiatric services. Average occupancy rates suggest that there is not an overall shortfall of acute psychiatric beds, but uneven bed distribution creates barriers to access. Referral of patients to remote hospitals is not related to actual bed provision in the regions, but appears to reflect attitudes to ensuring local care. Recommendations about current de facto standards are made. Current average nursing and medical staffing standards are reported.

Abstract:

This study was designed to compare the Adam Walsh Act (AWA) classification tiers with actuarial risk assessment instruments and existing state classification schemes in their respective abilities to identify sex offenders at high risk to re-offend. Data from 1,789 adult sex offenders released from prison in four states were collected (Minnesota, New Jersey, Florida, and South Carolina). On average, the sexual recidivism rate was approximately 5% at 5 years and 10% at 10 years. AWA Tier 2 offenders had higher Static-99R scores and higher recidivism rates than Tier 3 offenders, and in Florida, these inverse correlations were statistically significant. Actuarial measures and existing state tier systems, in contrast, did a better job of identifying high-risk offenders and recidivists. As well, we examined the distribution of risk assessment scores within and across tier categories, finding that a majority of sex offenders fall into AWA Tier 3, but more than half score low or moderately low on the Static-99R. The results indicate that the AWA sex offender classification scheme is a poor indicator of relative risk and is likely to result in a system that is less effective in protecting the public than those currently implemented in the states studied.

Abstract:

This paper proposes the necessity of pragmatic person features (Ritter and Wiltschko 2018) in pronominal and clausal speech act phrases in Korean, giving three main arguments for such necessity: (i) pragmatic person [addressee] is needed for hearsay mye which expresses the meaning of you told me without the lexical verb of saying, (ii) pragmatic person [speaker] is needed for the unequal distribution of first-person plural pronouns with exhortative ca ‘let us’, and (iii) pragmatic persons [speaker], and [addressee] are needed for the asymmetric distribution of a dative goal argument in secondhand exhortatives. Based on the compatibility and incompatibility of exhortative ca- and secondhand exhortative ca-mye clauses with a first-person pronoun (e.g., na ‘I’, ce ‘I’, wuli ‘we’, and cehuy ‘we’), I argue that pragmatic person features are needed in syntax to account for their distribution.

Full text

Abstract:

The Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD) aims to regulate insurance distribution in the EU regardless of distribution channels and means. Although new technologies affect insurance distribution, the IDD does not explicitly regulate this digital transformation. Insurers and intermediaries must comply with detailed business conduct rules that aim to counteract distribution risks. However, the IDD exempts ancillary insurance intermediaries from its scope when they meet certain conditions. The article highlights the regulatory framework on insurance, requiring insurers and intermediaries to address distribution risks, and analyses how this exemption affects the management of distribution risks in online distribution from a legal perspective. The focus on online distribution depends on the scale such distribution can achieve. The consideration of the scale allows for challenging the political choice behind the exemption of ancillary insurance intermediaries, which consists of the principle of proportionality. A regulatory proposal to counteract these adverse effects is to remove the exemption from the IDD rules for ancillary intermediaries in online distribution. Such a proposal is compliant with the principle of technological neutrality and is in line with the new legislative proposals in the Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act.

Abstract:

This paper seeks to critically analyse the requirements of the duty imposed on directors to act for a proper purpose as provided in section 76(3)(a) of the 2008 Act (Companies Act 71 of 2008) whenever they distribute company money and/or property. This analysis is conducted with the obligations imposed under sections 4 and 46 of the 2008 Act in mind. The purpose is not to question the inclusion of this duty in the 2008 Act. It is simply to question whether the common law interpretation of the duty still suffices in the face of section 76(3) of the 2008 Act, which seems to suggest that a different standard of judgment must be used. The argument that is made here is that the use of common law principles in interpreting proper purpose is well and good when the actions of directors are challenged based on the common law, but, where this duty has been incorporated into statutory law the interpretation of the duty in the context of the wording of the statute should be paramount. In addition, when interpreting any provision of the Act, consideration of the objects of the statute becomes inevitable. The interpretation of the duty cannot, in the face of the changes brought about by the statute, remain stagnant as a result of reliance on common law standards of judgment. The wording of the provision in question and the purpose of the statute cannot and must not be ignored; they must be given effect. A comparative approach will be adopted, using legislation and case law from Australia and Canada. The selection of these particular jurisdictions is based solely on the fact that like South Africa, their legal heritage is based on English common law, and a comparison of the three jurisdictions therefore makes sense.

Barring further legislative action, the Final Rule, which has been over five years in the making, will be effective on March 16,2000.The Final Rule, issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (‘‘DHHS”) pursuant to the National Organ Transplant Act, was originally publishedApril 2, 1998. It provided a number of substantive changes to the process through which organs are allocated by the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), a private, non-profit organization charged with administering the national organ transplantation network.

Full text

Abstract:

The tangerine pathotype of Alternaria alternata produces a host-selective toxin (HST), known as ACT-toxin, and causes Alternaria brown spot disease of citrus. The structure of ACT-toxin is closely related to AK- and AF-toxins, which are HSTs produced by the Japanese pear and strawberry pathotypes of A. alternata, respectively. AC-, AK-, and AF-toxins are chemically similar and share a 9,10-epoxy-8-hydroxy-9-methyl-decatrienoic acid moiety. Two genes controlling AK-toxin biosynthesis (AKT1 and AKT2) were recently cloned from the Japanese pear pathotype of A. alternata. Portions of these genes were used as heterologous probes in Southern blots, that detected homologs in 13 isolates of A. alternata tangerine pathotype from Minneola tangelo in Florida. Partial sequencing of the homologs in one of these isolates demonstrated high sequence similarity to AKT1 (89.8%) and to AKT2 (90.7%). AKT homologs were not detected in nine isolates of A. alternata from rough lemon, six isolates of nonpathogenic A. alternata, and one isolate of A. citri that causes citrus black rot. The presence of homologs in the Minneola isolates and not in the rough lemon isolates, nonpathogens or black rot isolates, correlates perfectly to pathogenicity on Iyo tangerine and ACT-toxin production. Functionality of the homologs was demonstrated by detection of transcripts using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in total RNA of the tangerine pathotype of A. alternata. The high sequence similarity of AKT and AKT homologs in the tangerine patho-type, combined with the structural similarity of AK-toxin and ACT-toxin, may indicate that these homologs are involved in the biosynthesis of the decatrienoic acid moiety of ACT-toxin.

Abstract:

The Physician Payments Sunshine Act (“Sunshine Act”), enacted to address financial conflicts in health care, is the first comprehensive federal legislation mandating public reporting of payments between drug companies, device manufacturers, and medicine. This article analyzes the Sunshine Act's uneven record, exploring how the law serves as an intriguing example of the uncertain case for transparency regulation in health care. The Sunshine Act's bumpy rollout demonstrates that commanding transparency through legislation can be arduous because of considerable implementation challenges. Capturing all the relevant information about financial relationships and reporting it with sufficient contextual and comparative data has proven disappointingly difficult. In addition, the law suffers from uncertainty and poor design as to the intended audience. Indeed, there is strong reason to believe that it will not significantly impact decision-making of primary recipients like patients.Yet the Sunshine Act nonetheless retains important and perhaps underappreciated value. From the almost four years of information generated, we have learned that industry-medicine financial ties vary significantly by physician specialty, and somewhat by physician gender. In many medical fields the distribution of top dollar payments tends to be heavily skewed to a few recipients, all of which have important implications for optimal management of financial conflicts and for health policy more generally. Accordingly, the Sunshine Act's greatest potential is not guiding decisions of individual patients or physicians, but its downstream effects. This Article traces how secondary audiences, such as regulators, watchdogs, and counsel are already starting to make productive use of Sunshine Act information. Public reporting has, for example, made more feasible linking industry payment information with Medicare reimbursement data. As a result, policymakers can more closely examine correlations between industry spending directed at individual physicians and their prescribing and referral decisions. Moreover, savvy counsel are recognizing that Sunshine Act information provides explosive evidence in private civil litigation and this Article explores the first wave of cases.

Abstract:

In Reply.— The immediate problem of cost is certainly a barrier to the acceptability of the hepatitis B universal infant and adolescent immunization program. Whereas I agree that the mechanism of sole purchase may result in the detrimental and devastating effects you suggest, is it not possible to suggest that various groups of physicians or clinics combine to seek bulk purchase rates from all manufacturers? Could we encourage the various manufacturers to offer lowered bulk purchase rates, concurrently encouraging and sustaining commercial competitiveness? My assumption would be that the lowered bulk purchase price would not be detrimental to the manufacturer and their needed resources for production and research, as costs could be saved in distribution, sales, and greater use of the vaccines.

Full text

Abstract:

The main effects of No Child Left Behind on the quality of teaching are likely to come through two provisions of the act. First, NCLB establishes benchmarks based on test score pass rates that schools must meet in order to remain in good standing and avoid sanctions. Since teachers are central to student performance, this accountability component of NCLB is likely to have direct effects on both the demand for and supply of teachers and therefore on both the composition of the stock of public school teachers and the distribution of those teachers among schools. Second, NCLB explicitly requires districts to have “highly qualified” teachers, and the enunciation and enforcement of such a standard might have an additional effect on the composition of teachers. We will discuss three avenues by which these requirements might affect the quality of teachers. First, we will argue that the requirements for “highly qualified” teachers are unlikely to have had any perceptible effect on the performance of students. Second, the combination of quality requirements and the more-stringent testing environment could make teaching appear more costly and risky as a profession and thus alter the composition of new entrants, but at least so far, we find no evidence of such effects. Finally, the accountability provisions might change the dynamics of the labor market for teachers, including decisions about hiring and job separation. While not completely understood, this channel might be quite important, especially at low-performing schools where the stress of the accountability requirements is highest. We will provide new evidence from Texas on the relationship between school accountability ratings and teacher transitions both out of schools and out of grades three through eight, the grades subject to NCLB testing requirements. Finally, we offer some observations about potential policy implications and a future research agenda.

Abstract:

Cash waqf is the most useful waqf instrument to be used in humanitarian institutions. This research aims to analyze cash waqf and its expedience in financing humanitarian relief institutions (ACT Foundation) and investment methods in the foundation. Thus, humanitarian activities necessitate a form of money distribution to preserve the continuation of its benefits. The researcher used inductive approach in evaluating legal evidences, information, data and details regarding cash waqf. Furthermore, analytical approach was used to analyze and explain the legal aspects of cash waqf and verify its legality and validation to finance humanitarian institutions. By integrating theory and practice, the researcher conducted a field study by interviewing officials in the institution to ensure that the practices are in accordance with Islamic jurisprudence. Also, the research was done to expose investment methods to gain benefits of cash waqf. It can be concluded that the cash waqf is allowed to finance the activities of humanitarian institution as well as being invested to obtain further benefits.

Full text

Abstract:

When a debtor’s estate is sequestrated or an insolvent company is wound up, insolvency and taxation intersect whenever the debtor or company has an outstanding tax debt. This article considers whether the South African Revenue Service should, or could, be provided with a better standing in cases of insolvency. From a comparison of the situations in South Africa, Mauritius, Australia and the United Kingdom, it is clear that South Africa’s approach of determining the order of distribution in relation to tax claims based on the type of tax is in line with the approaches of Mauritius and the United Kingdom. However, s 179 of the Tax Administration Act and ss 114 and 147(1) of the Customs and Excise Act may have an impact on a claim by the South African Revenue Service in the event of insolvency. In this respect, we argue that, in instances where a taxpayer is sequestrated or wound up due to insolvency, the Insolvency Act and the Companies Act should take precedence. Since the Insolvency Act provides for a clear order of distribution both in respect of the insolvent estates of natural persons and when an insolvent company is wound up, tax legislation in South Africa should not be used to deviate from this order of distribution.

Abstract:

On 12 May 1988 amendments to the Queensland Petroleum Act of 1923 came into force. These empower the Governor- in- Council to appoint a Pipelines Tribunal to inquire into the operations of any existing or proposed pipeline. The Act now affirms the existence of the Secretary of Mines as a Corporation which can undertake all the aspects of an oil company from exploration to distribution of refined products. In particular, this corporation now has the sole right to construct and operate any pipeline in Queensland which extends beyond the boundaries of a lease. There was little or no dialogue with industry prior to the proclamation of these amendments.In comparison with the Petroleum Acts of South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory, the Queensland Petroleum Act contains many areas subject to ministerial discretion or which are no longer relevant to present- day administrative practices. The Queensland Government's proposal to issue a green paper discussing amendments to the Act, based on submissions from interested parties, is welcomed since it is in the interests of management of the exploratory oil industry to strive for uniformity of administration in each state.

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose an alternative model for collaboration networks based on nonlinear preferential attachment. Depending on a single free parameter "preferential exponent", this model interpolates between networks with a scale-free and an exponential degree distribution. The degree distribution in the present networks can be roughly classified into four patterns, all of which are observed in empirical data. And this model exhibits small-world effect, which means the corresponding networks are of very short average distance and highly large clustering coefficient. More interesting, we find a peak distribution of act-size from empirical data which has not been emphasized before. Our model can produce the peak act-size distribution naturally that agrees with the empirical data well.

Abstract:

Purpose – National Food Security Act 2013 (NFSA) is a unique step taken by Indian government to fight against hunger and protect right of the people for food. With its peculiarities like the life cycle approach, women empowerment, consideration of vulnerable sections in society and proposed reforms in public distribution system (PDS), NFSA is a promising effort for food security in India. The purpose of this paper is to put forth various aspects of NFSA and to identify issues and challenges for its implementation in the light of Indian PDS. Design/methodology/approach – Understanding the implications of NFSA, mapping the existing system of foodgrains distribution in India and analysing existing literature and secondary data available from assorted sources are the steps followed in this endeavour. Findings – Limited resources and exponentially increasing population, lack of infrastructure, operational inefficiencies and poor performance of the PDS are the major hurdles in successful implementation of the proposed act. This study gives emphasis on the need of major reforms in procurement, storage, movement and distribution of foodgrains strategies. Research limitations/implications – This paper focusses mainly on the operational and strategic aspects of PDS and its implications on NFSA. There is a wide scope for future research on sustainability of the act through agricultural and biotechnological innovations, financial analysis and strategic aspects. Originality/value – This study is an unique attempt of mapping and auditing of the entire complex value chain of the Indian PDS for implementation of NFSA. As NFSA is going to redefine the food security aspects, this pioneering work will be useful for researchers and policy makers working in this field in India and other developing countries.

Abstract:

Inheritance is something that has material value left by a person after his death which is obtained during his life truly and becomes the perfect property during his life and is eternally owned by simati until he dies. In Malaysia, the distribution of Islamic inheritance is subject to faraid law, in which non-Muslims cannot inherit Muslim property. However, for the property of non-Muslims, there is a law that protects it, namely the Distribution (Amendment) Act 1997, Act 1004. This Act does not state that Muslims cannot inherit the inheritance of non-Muslims. The distribution is made to the heirs based on the kinship relationship and marriage regardless of religion. This means that Muslims also inherit the property of non-Muslims. The two main methods of distributing inheritance that is practiced in Malaysia are the distribution method according to Islamic law for the death of a Muslim and the distribution method according to civil law which affects the Act of Dispensing 1958 (Act 300) for the death of non-Muslims. Both mechanisms involve converts, either converts as the dead or as heirs. Those with the title of convert to Islam have their uniqueness in the distribution of inheritance which is different from the usual inheritance distribution mechanism. Due to these differences in distribution, this study was carried out to highlight the administration of inheritance laws involving converts to Islam in Malaysia. This study was conducted using a qualitative method by taking a literature review approach, also continuing the content analysis design. The results of the study highlights that have been carried out show that there have been many writings, ideas, and discussions regarding this case made by the reviewers. The results of the study found that there are procedures and provisions for laws in the settlement of inheritance involving heirs of converts if they are not Muslim, as well as if converts are heirs to the property of the dead who are not Muslim. Therefore, with an explanation of the administration of the law in this study, it can resolve errors to the public regarding the issue of inheritance and property inheritance involving converts in Malaysia.

Abstract:

The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on accessibility to solid organ transplant and outcomes. Data source registry: United Network of Organ Sharing database. Patients aged ≥18 years listed for kidney, liver, heart, and lung transplant between years 2010 and 2016 were classified by insurance and status of Medicaid adoption under ACA to evaluate insurance distribution. Between 2010 and 2016, states that adopted Medicaid had 2 to 4 per cent point increase in the proportion of patients listed with Medicaid across all organs. One-year waiting list survival of Medicaid patients was better in the ACA era. States that expanded Medicaid under the ACA had a significant increase in the proportion of patients listed with Medicaid and better one-year waiting list survival.

Abstract:

AbstractNew redshift surveys of galaxies in the field of compact groups have discovered a population of faint galaxies which act as satellites orbiting in the potential well of the bright group. Here we analyze the mass distribution of the groups by comparing the mass derived from the bright members and the mass obtained from the satellite galaxies. Our analysis indicates the presence of a dark halo around the main group with a mass roughly four times that measured for the dominant galaxies of the compact group.We found that heavier halos are ruled out by the observations when comparing the distribution of positions and redshifts of the satellite galaxies with the distribution of satellites of isolated spiral galaxies. The results agree with a picture where compact groups may form a stable system with galaxies moving in a common dark halo.

Abstract:

It has been four years since the National Food Security Act, 2013 (NFSA) was passed, ample time for us to assess its impact on the food insecurity in India. The Act was initiated as an ambitious attempt to provide food security through a life-cycle approach, but over the years it has remained restricted to merely converting four schemes into legal entitlements. It has lost sight of its ultimate goal of providing „food security‟ and remains largely over occupied by food distribution. Additionally, core aspects of food production and management have been placed under schedule III, to be progressively realized, in other words "not imperative".The present paper shall critically analyze the concept of food security against the national Act. An attempt shall be made at highlighting the lacunae within the provisions of the Act, implementation gaps and operational inadequacies. Moreover, the interaction between the national law and the individual state rules and the impact of diverse state-specific factors on rule-making and ground-level implementation shall also be considered. The paper introduces the concept of food security and gives an overview of the NFSA. It also critically analyzes the provisions of the Act and highlights the gaps in food security therein. The paper concludes with recommendations as to how food security can be implemented in an effective way.

Abstract:

The distribution of joint assets according to the provisions of Article 37 of Act No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage is not clearly stipulated how much each husband or wife is divorced, either divorced or divorced. Article 37 paragraph (1) states that if a marriage breaks up due to divorce, the joint property is regulated according to their respective laws. In the explanation of Article 37 paragraph (1), it is emphasized that the respective laws are religious law, customary law and other laws related to the distribution of the joint property. In addition to Act No. 1 of 1974 concerning Marriage, the Compilation of Islamic Law also applies in Indonesia, which relates to the distribution of joint assets as regulated in Articles 96 and 97 of the Compilation of Islamic Law. Based on these things, the problems that will be examined in this research are: what are the legal consequences of settling disputes on joint property according to Marriage Act No. 1 of 1974 and KHI, and what are the views of Islamic law regarding the distribution of joint assets after divorce, as well as the obstacles to the implementation of the distribution of joint assets in practice at the Salatiga Religious Court, Central Java Province.

Abstract:

The gazetting of the Land Acquisition Bill on 24 January, 1992 unleashed what has been described as the fiercest debate ever known in the history of Zimbabwe. However, the issue of land reform had been back on the political agenda ever since the expiry of the Lancaster House Constitution on 18 April, 1990, and pressures from a variety of quarters, both internal and external, had been brought to bear on the government during the intervening period. In particular, its adoption in 1990 of a document declaring National Land Policy had generated intense controversy. In accordance with the principles set out in that document the government has sought to facilitate the acquisition of land for resettlement purposes, first by amending section 16 of the Lancaster House Constitution and subsequently by enacting the Land Acquisition Act. In formulating its policy the government has recognized both the need to redress inequalities in land distribution and the need to take into account current national and international socio-economic realities. The result is a compromise.

Abstract:

Citrus is considered one of the most important fruit crops globally due to its contribution to food and nutritional security. However, the production of citrus has recently been in decline due to many biological, environmental, and socio-economic constraints. Amongst the biological ones, pests and diseases play a major role in threatening citrus quantity and quality. The most damaging disease in Kenya, is the African citrus greening disease (ACGD) or Huanglongbing (HLB) which is transmitted by the African citrus triozid (ACT), Trioza erytreae. HLB in Kenya is reported to have had the greatest impact on citrus production in the highlands, causing yield losses of 25% to 100%. This study aimed at predicting the occurrence of ACT using an ecological habitat suitability modeling approach. Specifically, we tested the contribution of vegetation phenological variables derived from remotely-sensed (RS) data combined with bio-climatic and topographical variables (BCL) to accurately predict the distribution of ACT in citrus-growing areas in Kenya. A MaxEnt (maximum entropy) suitability modeling approach was used on ACT presence-only data. Forty-seven (47) ACT observations were collected while 23 BCL and 12 RS covariates were used as predictor variables in the MaxEnt modeling. The BCL variables were extracted from the WorldClim data set, while the RS variables were predicted from vegetation phenological time-series data (spanning the years 2014–2016) and annually-summed land surface temperature (LST) metrics (2014–2016). We developed two MaxEnt models; one including both the BCL and the RS variables (BCL-RS) and another with only the BCL variables. Further, we tested the relationship between ACT habitat suitability and the surrounding land use/land cover (LULC) proportions using a random forest regression model. The results showed that the combined BCL-RS model predicted the distribution and habitat suitability for ACT better than the BCL-only model. The overall accuracy for the BCL-RS model result was 92% (true skills statistic: TSS = 0.83), whereas the BCL-only model had an accuracy of 85% (TSS = 0.57). Also, the results revealed that the proportion of shrub cover surrounding citrus orchards positively influenced the suitability probability of the ACT. These results provide a resourceful tool for precise, timely, and site-specific implementation of ACGD control strategies.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study how positional concerns influence a parent’s time investment decisions of her/his child. Design/methodology/approach The author presents a theoretical and empirical analysis of household positional and non-positional time investment choices in the education of her/his child. Findings The author shows that a parent who is mindful of her/his relative position in the income distribution will use her/his time investment choices to influence her/his perceived status. The theoretical model predicts that visible time investment increases as members of her/his reference group move up in rank. The author shows that moving down in rank lowers utility. The author employs National Education Longitudinal Studies (1988) data set to test the model prediction and shows that visible time invested in child’s education is explained by place on the income distribution. Originality/value The author extends the positional literature to account for parent time investment in her/his child’s education. The work suggests that time investment in one’s child’s education is based on more than altruistic preferences and resources. It leaves open the possibility that perceived social standing influences a household’s time investment in their child’s education. From a policy perspective, the findings provide a new way to think about drivers of parental involvement.

This work is introducing an enhanced Differential Evolution (DE) called AncDE. This proposed algorithm is using an additional population from the current generation and located it as ancestor. There are two parameter controllers to manage the selection of ancestor vector; aup for selection frequency and arp for age of selection. In this work we were applying Gaussian distribution on aup and we tested it on CEC 2015 Numerical Optimization Problem. Standard Differential Evolution will act as the benchmark. The result shows that AncDE with Gaussian approach has produced better result than standard DE.

Incidental captures of platypuses have been recorded during fisheries research programs conducted in the Australian Capital Territory over the past 25 years. Ad hoc records have also been recorded from Australian Capital Territory Parks and Conservation Service staff and members of the public as part of an ongoing database project known as the ACT Vertebrate Atlas. Information is presented on the distribution and relative abundance of platypuses in the major ACT streams. There appear to have been some localised declines in a number of ACT platypus populations in the Murrumbidgee, Molonglo and Queanbeyan River systems. Possible reasons behind these declines are discussed.

Abstract:

e15530 Background: Peritoneal metastases are the most common recurrence of gastric cancer, even after radical surgery. Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) system, including its receptor uPAR, is crucial in the proteolysis activation for the cleavage of the extracellular matrix and basement membrane. The purpose of the study was to determine the antigen form uPA-Ag, active form uPA-act and the uPAR receptor in tissues of adenocarcinoma of the stomach, its perifocal tissues (PT), greater omentum and peritoneum in patients with stomach cancer T3-4аN0-3M1 and T3-4аN0-3M0. Methods: Tissues of patients with gastric adenocarcinoma T3-4аN0-3M1 (n = 21: 10 men, 11 women) and T3-4аN0-3M0 (n = 24: 15 men, 9 women) aged 61.23±4.8 years were studied. Controls: non-cancer patients aged 39.1±3.2 years (n = 17: 6 men, 11 women). Levels of uPA-act, uPA-Ag and uPAR were determined by ELISA using standard test systems. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 11.5 software package for Windows. Results: In T3-4аN0-3M1, the highest uPAR levels were observed in tissues of the tumor, greater omentum and peritoneum, compared to T3-4аN0-3M0 and controls (p < 0.01). In PT of T3-4аN0-3M1, uPAR levels were lower than in tumor (p < 0.01) but higher than in resection line tissues. Tumor levels of uPA-act in T3-4аN0-3M1 and T3-4аN0-3M0 were similar and in both cases higher than in PT. In the greater omentum in T3-4аN0-3M1, uPA-act levels were similar to tumor levels and exceeded the values in T3-4аN0-3M0 (p < 0.01). Peritoneal uPA-act did not differ in T3-4аN0-3M1 and T3-4аN0-3M0 but was higher than in controls (p < 0.05). Tumor levels of uPA-Ag in T3-4аN0-3M1 exceeded the levels in T3-4аN0-3M0 and in both PT (p < 0.05). Levels of uPA-Ag in the greater omentum in T3-4аN0-3M1 were higher than in T3-4аN0-3M0 and lower than in controls (p < 0.01). Comparable uPA-Ag levels in T3-4аN0-3M1 and T3-4аN0-3M0 were lower than in controls (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Gastric adenocarcinoma secretes uPAR and uPA, and uPAR levels in the tumor are associated with omental or peritoneal metastases. Levels of uPAR and uPA-act in the greater omentum and peritoneum in T3-4аN0-3M1 are increased even higher than in T3-4аN0-3M0; uPAR can serve as a marker of a pre-metastatic niche in peritoneal tissues.

Full text

Abstract:

In plants the marker sequences used to identify chromosomes are mainly repetitive DNA probes. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are major components of many plant genomes and could be good markers for chromosome identification. In a previous work, we reported the physical distribution of 4 oligonucleotides, (AG)12, (CAT)5, (AAC)5, and (AAG)5, on Triticum aestivum L. chromosomes. The distinctive distribution pattern found suggested that SSR in situ hybridization is useful as a diagnostic tool in wheat cytogenetics. To check whether that finding is generally applicable, we analyzed the chromosomal distribution of the rest of the 14 possible classes of di- and tri-nucleotide repeats by FISH. A detailed knowledge of the sequence content of hexaploid wheat chromatin was acquired based on the hybridization signals, which also provide a rich set of chromosome markers for chromosome identification. Except for (AT)10 and (GC)10, for which the chromosomal distribution could not be accurately determined, and (AC)8 and (GCC)5, which were found dispersed throughout the chromosomes, the remaining repeats were observed as clusters on specific chromosome sites. (AGG)5, (CAC)5, (ACG)5, (AAT)5, and (CAG)5 exhibited a preferential distribution in the pericentromeric regions of the B genome chromosomes. The richest patterns of intercalary signals on several A and B genome chromosomes were produced by (ACT)5. A karyotype based on the SSR probes providing the best FISH patterns was constructed for T. aestivum ‘Chinese Spring’.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the timing associated with the implementation of the health insurance-related provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) altered the presence and distribution of medical/non-medical debts accumulated by different types of bankruptcy filers. Design/methodology/approach Data were drawn from the US Bankruptcy Court’s Eastern Washington District over the years 2009, 2011 and 2014 using interval random sampling. Binary probit and Tobit analyses were used to model the existence, and distribution, of medical debts and total debts, respectively, at the time of filing. The impact of the time frame associated with the ACA was operationalized via a Chow test for structural dynamic change. Findings Chapter 13 filers in 2014 (post-ACA-based health exchange implementation) were more likely to report medical debts than Chapter 7 filers in the pre-intervention period, and were also more likely to report a larger proportion of outstanding debts owed to a single creditor. Filers claiming health insurance premium expenses in 2011 were (at the 10 percent significance level) more likely to report a more skewed distribution of medical debts. Originality/value The time frame associated with the implementation of the ACA impacts the distribution of medical debts among filers who have sufficient net disposable income to fund a Chapter 13 plan. The polarization of outstanding medical debts may indicate coverage gaps in existing health insurance policies, whose costs would be disproportionately borne by patients operating on thin financial margins.
