Alcohol consumption : Can it be predicted by personality factors, BIS/BAS, gender and age?
Syftet med aktuell studie var att undersöka om personlighetsegenskaper (från femfaktormodellen), BIS/BAS, kön och ålder kunde predicera studenters alkoholkonsumtion. Alkoholkonsumtion är ett stort problem i dagens samhälle och bidrar till 3 miljoner dödsfall varje år globalt och leder till funktionshinder och dålig hälsa för miljontals människor. Studien använde sig av en korrelationell design och data samlades in med hjälp av ett självskattningsformulär. Urvalet bestod av 184 universitetsstudenter (77 % kvinnor) från tre olika program på Linnéuniversitetet i Kalmar och Växjö. Korrelationsanalysen visade signifikanta samband mellan alkoholkonsumtion och oberoende variabler där den starkaste effekten var ett medelstarkt positivt samband mellan BAS Fun Seeking och alkoholkonsumtion. Den efterföljande regressionsanalysen (MRA) visade att ålder, kön, BAS Fun Seeking och extraversion kunde predicera alkoholkonsumtion vilket stämde överens med studiens hypoteser och tidigare forskning. Resultatet från nuvarande studie ger en bättre förståelse för vilka variabler som kan predicera alkoholkonsumtion och utökar kunskap inom området vilket kan vara användbart för framtida hälsoprogram.The aim of this study was to investigate whether personality factors (from the five-factor model), BIS/BAS, gender and age could predict students' alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption is a major problem today, contributing to 3 million deaths each year globally and leading to disability and poor health for millions of people. The study used a correlational design and data were collected using a self-report questionnaire. The sample consisted of 184 university students (77% women) from three different programs at Linnaeus University in Kalmar and Växjö. The correlation analysis showed significant relationships between alcohol consumption and independent variables, with the strongest effect being a moderately strong positive relationship between BAS Fun Seeking and alcohol consumption. The multiple regression analysis (MRA) showed that age, gender, BAS Fun Seeking and extraversion could predict alcohol consumption, which was consistent with the study's hypotheses and previous research. The result from the current study provides a better understanding of which variables can predict alcohol consumption and expands knowledge in the field, which can be useful for future health programs

Allegory In Hadiths
Ateş, Avnullah Enes (Bilecik, Author)Hz. Peygamber (s.a.v.) İslam’ı tebliğinde, içerisinde doğup büyüdüğü Arap toplumunun dil ve edebiyat becerilerini iyi bir şekilde kullanmıştır. Onları hakka davet ederken teşbih, mecaz, kinaye gibi birçok edebi üsluplarla meramını anlatmıştır. Etkili konuşma noktasında sözün büyüleyici bir etkisi olduğunu da yine kendileri dile getirmişlerdir. Bu nedenle Allah Resulünün (s.a.v.) sözlü davet yönünün ve hadislerinin doğru ve iyi anlaşılması o dönemin Arapça dil ve edebiyat yapısının bilinmesiyle mümkündür. Hadislerin bu yönde ele alınarak çalışılması bir zorunluluktur. Hadis şerhlerinde hadislerin edebi yönlerine değinilse de kimi zaman kavram kargaşası yaşanmaktadır. Özellikle kinaye terimi konusunda büyük problemler bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca bütün yönleriyle dağınık bir şekilde ele alınan hadislerin derli toplu ve tek bir meseleye yönelerek incelenmesi daha büyük bir yarar sağlayacaktır. Bundan dolayı bu çalışma, kinayenin şerhlerden tespitindeki bu problemi ele alacak, sonra da Allah Resulünün (s.a.v.) kinayeli kullanımlarına değinecektir
An enyne cycloisomerization/[5+1] reaction sequence to synthesize tetrahydroisoquinolinones from enyne-enes and CO
An enyne cycloisomerization/[5+1] reaction sequence was developed to synthesize tetrahydroisoquinolinones from linear enyne-enes and CO. The first step is a gold(I)-catalyzed enyne cycloisomerization, generating six-membered- ring-fused vinylcyclopropanes. The second step is a rhodium(I)catalyzed [5+1] reaction of vinylcyclopropanes with CO. This two-step reaction could also be carried out in one-pot without isolating the cycloisomerization product generated from the first step of this sequence.Natural Science Foundation of China [21472005]SCI(E)ARTICLE132158-21615
How Effective are Unemployment Benefit Sanctions? Looking Beyond Unemployment Exit
This paper provides a comprehensive evaluation of benefit sanctions, i.e. temporary reductions in unemployment benefits as punishment for noncompliance with eligibility requirements. In addition to the effects on unemployment durations, we evaluate the effects on post-unemployment employment stability, on exits from the labor market and on earnings. In our analysis we use a rich set of Swiss register data which allow us to distinguish between ex ante effects, the effects of warnings and the effects of enforcement of benefit sanctions. Adopting a multivariate mixed proportional hazard approach to address selectivity, we find that both warnings and enforcement increase the job finding rate and the exit rate out of the labor force. Warnings do not affect subsequent employment stability but do reduce post-unemployment earnings. Actual benefit reductions lower the quality of post-unemployment jobs both in terms of job duration as well as in terms of earnings. The net effect of a benefit sanction on post-unemployment income is negative. Over a period of two years after leaving unemployment workers who got a benefit sanction imposed face a net income loss equivalent to 30 days of full pay due to the ex post effect. In addition to that, stricter monitoring may reduce net earnings by up to 4 days of pay for every unemployed worker due to the ex ante effect.Benefit sanctions;earnings effects;unemployment duration;competing-risk duration models

Hstr-net: Reference based video super-resolution with dual cameras
High-spatio-temporal resolution (HSTR) video recording plays a crucial role in enhancing various imagery tasks that require fine-detailed information. State-of-the-art cameras provide this required high frame-rate and high spatial resolution together, albeit at a high cost. To alleviate this issue, this paper proposes a dual camera system for the generation of HSTR video using reference-based super-resolution (RefSR). One camera captures high spatial resolution low frame rate (HSLF) video while the other captures low spatial resolution high frame rate (LSHF) video simultaneously for the same scene. A novel deep learning architecture is proposed to fuse HSLF and LSHF video feeds and synthesize HSTR video frames. The proposed model combines optical flow estimation and (channel-wise and spatial) attention mechanisms to capture the fine motion and complex dependencies between frames of the two video feeds. Simulations show that the proposed model provides significant improvement over existing reference-based SR techniques in terms of PSNR and SSIM metrics. The method also exhibits sufficient frames per second (FPS) for aerial monitoring when deployed on a power-constrained drone equipped with dual cameras.

THE CROOKED LOGIC OF INTERCULTURAL EVALUATION: A CRITIQUE OF PAREKH’S THEORY OF MULTICULTURALISM
Esej se bavi Parekhovom teorijom međukulturalnoga vrednovanja.
Parekhov pristup multikulturalizmu temelji se na otvorenom dijalogu
između manjina i većine u odlučivanju o kulturnim praksama koje treba tolerirati. U prvom dijelu autor kritizira Parekhov koncept
operativnih javnih vrijednosti kao polazišta međukulturalnoga dijaloga.
U drugom se dijelu autor bavi problemom konzistentnosti između
Parekhovih teorijskih argumenata i njihove primjene na pojedinačne
slučajeve. U zaključku autor argumentira da je Parekhov pristup kojim želi izbjeći nedostatke liberalnog univerzalizma i kulturnoga relativizma neuspio zbog toga što ne osigurava uvjerljivi teorijski mehanizam rješavanja sporova oko kulturalnih vrijednosti i praksi.This paper deals with Bhikhu Parekh’s theory of intercultural
evaluation. Parekh’s approach to multiculturalism is based on an
open dialogue between minorities and the majority on cultural practices that should be tolerated. In the first part, author criticizes
Parekh’s concept of operative public values, which Parekh uses as a
starting point for intercultural debate. In the second part, author deals
with the problem of consistency between Parekh’s theoretical arguments and their application to particular cases. In the conclusion, author argues that Parekh’s aspiration to avoid both claims of liberal
universalism and cultural relativism is unsuccessful because he fails
to provide a convincing theoretical argument on how to resolve disputes on cultural values and practices
