An analysis of the impact of soft skills on Malaysian technical institutions
No full textMany people recognize the importance of technical skills as knowledge and proficiencies required in the accomplishment of professional jobs. However, the importance and applicability of soft skills are mostly ignored despite the fact that, it is a process how individual carry himself in an organization or professional environment for the progress of that individual and the organization he found himself. The paper explored into some journals from the previous the literatures, some soft skills were identified such as communication, lifelong learning, entrepreneurship, leadership, and teamwork, problem solving and critical among TVET institutions in Malaysia. Document analysis was conducted as a methodology for this study. The impacts of these soft skills on TVET related institutions like polytechnics, training centers and universities in Malaysia. It was indicated that, the result of the impact of soft skills on these institutions was generally moderate. The paper concluded that, technical skills alone could not bring about the organizational development there must be a compliment of soft skills for any organizational sustainability. Supplementary of soft and technical skills conceptual model was formulated. The paper was concluded by saying that, the competitive nature of the present situation, soft skills are essential because they have affected all aspect of human development. Some recommendations were suggested, teachers, lecturers and instructor must teach students soft skills for complete individual proficiencies and organizational sustainability
Analysis on the epidemiological features of human brucellosis in northern and southern areas of China, 2015-2016
No full textObjective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of human brucellosis in northern and southern areas of China, and to develop national strategies for bruceUosis prevention and control. Methods Individual data on human bruceUosis was collected from the National Notifiable Infectious Disease Reporting Information System to describe the situation of bruceUosis in China during 2015-2016. Epidemiological features of the disease in northern and southern areas of China were analyzed. Results A total of 104 125 cases were reported in mainland China during 2015-2016, with an average incidence rate as 3.81/100 000. The overall incidence rate from the northern provinces was 7.77/100 000 in 2016, a 18.6% decrease from 2015 (9.55/100 000), whereas the incidence rate in the southern provinces was 0.27/100 000 in 2016, with an increase of 28.6%% than 0.21/100 000 in 2015. 90.0% of the newly infected counties mainly distributed in southern China. As for the locations of reporting cases, most of them were in the same counties in the northern areas (52.3%) while most cases in the southern areas (59.6%) were imported from other counties. The median age of the cases was 48 (IQR: 38-58) years, with male-to-female ratios as 2.7 # 1 in the north and 2.2 : 1 in the south. Majority of the cases were occupation-related, from both the northern (86.8%) and southern (62.7%) areas. Human brucellosis occurred every month throughout the year but with an obvious seasonal increase between March and July. Conclusions Different epidemiological features of human bruceUosis appeared in both northern and southern areas of China. The disease was seen endemic in the northern and dispersal in the southern provinces. Appropriate strategies for bruceUosis prevention and control should be developed, according to the diiferent epidemiological characteristics in the northern or southern areas.</p
Social trauma and the mu-opioid system in depression
No full textThe overarching thesis under investigation is that the endogenous opioid system plays a key role in depression subsequent to traumatic childhood social experiences. This is suggested by the fact that animal work indicates that mu-opioids robustly mediate separation-distress, and that early social stressors lead to long term dysregulation in key related circuitries and neuroanatomical structures

The relationship between co-authorship, currency of references and author self-citations
No full textThis paper attempts to identify the relationship between co-authorship and the currency of the references and author self-citations in the key journals of environmental engineering. The results show that the self-citation rate of co-authored articles is higher than in single-authored articles. A statistically significant correlation is identified between the numbers of co-authors, the rate of author self-citing and the author self-cited; though it was a low correlation. The value of coefficient correlation between the number of co-authors and the author self-citing rate is slightly higher than that between the number of co-authors and the author self-cited rate, which indicates that the number of co-authors hold a stronger correlation with the self-citing rate than the self-cited rate. Meanwhile, self-citing references are found to be more up-to-date than references to others. The range of publication years of self-citing references is smaller than that of references to others, indicating that researchers tend to preferentially cite their own recent works. There is no significant difference in the latest references between self-citing references and the references to others. It might result from electronic journals that provide an easy access to the most current publications.補正完畢國外SSCIY紙本電子版HU
Mesure atmosphérique et étude mécanistique de dégradation de plusieurs composés organiques volatils
No full textLes composés organiques carbonylés et les BTEX (Benzène, Toluène, Éthylbenzène et Xylènes) représentent une classe importante de composés organiques volatils dans l’atmosphère. Ils sont émis par des sources anthropogénique et biogéniques. Leur dégradation atmosphérique conduit à la formation d’ozone, de phooxidants et d’aérosols organiques affectant ainsi la qualité de l’air aux échelles locales et régionales ainsi que la santé humaine. Il est donc important de mesurer leurs concentrations et évaluer leur devenir atmosphérique. Dans la présente thèse, nous avons conduit une étude systématique qui a permis de mesurer les concentrations de ces composés et identifier leurs sources à Pékin (Juillet 2008-Août 2010) et évaluer l’importance des caractéristiques météo. Nous avons aussi mené des études sur la dégradation atmosphérique de trois formates (isoproyle, isobutyle et n-propyle) en utilisant la chambre de simulation atmosphérique d’ICARE (CNRS, Orléans).Carbonyls and BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylenes) represent an important class of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the atmosphere. They are emitted into the atmosphere through anthropogenic and biogenic sources. Their atmospheric degradation leads to the formation of ozone, photooxidants and organic aerosols affecting the air quality at the local and regional scales and human health. It is, hence, of importance to measure their atmospheric concentrations and investigate their fate. In the present thesis, we have conducted a systematic measurement study of carbonyls and BTEX in Beijing during the period of Jul 2008-Aug 2010 in order to evaluate their ambient levels, possible sources and the influence of characteristic weather conditions. In a separate work, we performed a series of experimental studies on the OH-initiated oxidation of isopropyl formate, isobutyl formate, and n-propyl isobutyrate using the ICARE-CNRS (Orleans) simulation chamber from which we derived the product yields. The data obtained are presented and discussed
Phase Diagram at Finite Chemical Potentials in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Model
No full textWe study the phase diagram of two flavor dense QCD at finite isospin and baryon chemical potentials in the framework of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The system undergoes a crossover from a Bose-Einstein condensate of charged pions to a BCS superfluid with condensed quark-antiquark Cooper pairs when mu(I) increases at mu(B) = 0, and a nonzero baryon chemical potential serves as a mismatch between the pairing species. We observe a gapless pion condensation phase near the quadruple point (mu(I), mu(B)) = (m(pi), M-N-1.5m(pi)) where m(pi), M-N are the vacuum masses of pions and nucleons, respectively. At very large isospin chemical potential, mu(I) > 6.36m(pi), an inhomogeneous LOFF superfluid phase appears in a window of mu(B). Between the gapless and the LOFF phases, the pion superfluid phase and the normal quark matter phase are connected by a first order phase transition.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000302957500023&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Physics, Atomic, Molecular & ChemicalCPCI-S(ISTP)
