{"primary_language":"en","is_rotation_valid":true,"rotation_correction":0,"is_table":false,"is_diagram":false,"natural_text":"The Arab Family in Kuwait: Size and Structure (1)\n\nRecent studies dealing with family status in the Arab world are few and sometimes contradictory. While some researchers, such as Dr. Madeeha Naser (1972), assume that 75% of Iraqi families belong to the extended type grouping three generations living under one roof (2), Dr. Sana Khawli's investigation, condensed in Al-Raida (no. 9, vol. II, p. 15), leads her to conclude that the Arab family is evolving into a non-isolated nuclear family.\n\nSome researchers adopt a middle course by recognizing the existence of differences between country and town regarding family type and affirming that the extended family exists in a larger proportion in the country than in town and city. Good, another sociologist, asserts that for economic and other reasons, the extended family has not been the rule in Arab countries. Peterson says that demographic factors have prevented the extensive spread of the extended family in Egypt and that the large family of six members or more formed 40% of Egyptian families since the beginning of the twentieth century.\n\nA study prepared by Dr. Fahd al-Thaqeb aims to show that even if economic and demographic conditions should favor the spread of the extended family, as is the case in Kuwait, this family type is bound to remain a minority.\n\nThis study is based on statistics derived from interviews between 1965 and 1970 with a random sample of Kuwaiti families representing various social levels.\n\nFamily Size\n\nBetween 1965 and 1970, the majority of families in Kuwait were made up of six or more members per family. This proportion decreased among university graduates from 67.4% in 1965 to 56.9% in 1970. The data reveal that the number of family members tends to decrease in proportion with the cultural, economic and social status of the family.\n\nFor example, while 33% of family heads with secondary education have limited the number of their families to five or less, only 12% of illiterate family heads have adhered to this number.\n\nLarge-sized families are characteristic of higher middle and lower middle classes. Small-sized families of 1-5 members exist at the rate of 38% in less privileged classes, while 72% of the lower middle class are made up of eight or more each.\n\nFamily Structure\n\nThree family types have been singled out: the nuclear, the quasi-extended and the extended family. The first comprises the parents and children; the third includes two or more families living in the same house, joined by blood ties. The quasi-extended family is a small sized extended family.\n\nIn Kuwait, the nuclear family forms 59.2%, the quasi-extended 18.4%, and the extended family 22.4%.\n\nThe size of the family is not a sound indicator of its type, though it may have some connection with it. It was found that only 26% of the nuclear families interviewed were made up of six members each, while 70% of them had 6-12 members per unit.\n\nThe study has shown that the nuclear family, while it is not the ideal type, is most common among urban, educated, young people and among the middle class. This type is less common in lower and lower middle class. About 31% of families of the lower class are quasi-extended while in the upper socio-economic group, the quasi-extended type reaches only 15%.\n\nThe proportion of the extended family type is higher among illiterate groups: 30% for illiterate against 17% for university people.\n\nAge of Respondents\n\nThe family type differed according to the age of people interviewed. Around 50% of the young lived in nuclear families. Many of them lived in quasi-nuclear ones and did not break communication with their relatives. The ages of 65% of nuclear family people ranged between 30 and 39 years, while the highest proportion of the extended family type existed among those who were 50 years of age or above.\n\nConclusion\n\nThe majority of families forming the random sample of this survey belonged to the nuclear family type. The extended family, though it should be favored by social and demographic conditions in a country like Kuwait, is likely to form a minority.\n\nThe data show a steady increase in the average number of family members during the last few years. In 1957 the average was 6.8 per family; in 1965 it rose to 7.3; and in 1970, to 7.6. The rise is due to improved economic and demographic conditions in Kuwait. Also, the proportion of families numbering 6 or more each, rose from 66.4% in 1965 to 70.2% in 1970.\n\nThe family size is also an indicator of the fertility rate and bears no relation to family structure. It is noteworthy that extended families joining together three generations formed only 17% of the bulk of extended families. This result coincides with Good's theory that traditional, extended families have been and remain a minority in the Arab world."}

{"primary_language":"en","is_rotation_valid":true,"rotation_correction":0,"is_table":false,"is_diagram":false,"natural_text":"Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed, applying 24 baseline demographics and disease characteristics. Significant (p<0.1) variables in univariate were included in multivariate models. Last, multivariate models were selected based on model fit statistics (Akaike information criterion and $r^2$) and clinical significance. Adjusted OR and 95% CIs for selected baseline variables were calculated.\n\n**RESULTS**\n\nOverall, 334 patients were randomised to treatment and received adalimumab+MTX (n=171) or MTX alone (n=163), and 148 (86.5%) and 128 (78.5%) patients completed the double-blind portion of the study, respectively (figure 1). Demographics and baseline characteristics were well matched between treatment groups (table 1). The mean RA disease duration was 0.3 years, and the majority of patients had ≥1 erosion at baseline and high disease activity. The mean MTX dose during the 26-week study was $6.2 \\pm 0.8$ mg/week in the adalimumab+MTX group and $6.6 \\pm 0.6$ mg/week in the MTX alone group (p<0.001). After 26 weeks of treatment, 34.5% (59/171) of adalimumab+MTX patients were receiving MTX 8 mg/week versus 65.0% (106/163) of MTX alone patients (p<0.001).\n\n**Radiographic progression**\n\nTreatment with adalimumab+MTX significantly inhibited radiographic progression (figure 2A) at week 26 versus MTX alone (mean change±SD, $1.5 \\pm 6.1$ vs $2.4 \\pm 3.2$, respectively; p<0.001). Results were confirmed by an LE analysis (figure 2A). Changes in radiographic progression during 26 weeks of treatment were also assessed by a cumulative probability plot of $\\Delta mTSS$ (figure 2B). Fewer adalimumab+MTX patients exhibited radiographic progression ($\\Delta mTSS>0.5$), with 62.0% (106/171) of patients showing no radiographic progression versus 35.4% (57/161) of MTX alone patients (p<0.001). Furthermore, only 14.0% (24/171) of adalimumab+MTX patients exhibited clinically relevant radiographic progression ($\\Delta mTSS>3$) versus 37.3% (60/161) of MTX alone patients (p<0.001). In addition, a significantly higher percentage of adalimumab+MTX patients did not experience worsening ($\\leq 0.5$) in erosion score (73.7% (126/171)) versus MTX alone patients (42.2% (68/161); p<0.001). In patients who lacked baseline erosive damage, the continued absence of erosions was reported in more adalimumab+MTX patients versus MTX alone patients (9/9 vs 2/6 patients, respectively; p=0.01).\n\n**Clinical response**\n\nA significantly higher percentage of adalimumab+MTX patients achieved ACR responses versus MTX alone patients at each assessment (figure 3A–C). Significant differences between treatment groups, observed as early as week 2, were maintained through week 26. At week 26, a significantly larger percentage of adalimumab+MTX patients versus MTX alone patients achieved ACR20, ACR50 and ACR70 (figure 3A–C) and ACR90 (12.9% vs 5.5%; p=0.02) responses. Significant differences in favour of adalimumab+MTX were also observed from week 2 to 26 for DAS28-ESR, DAS28-CRP, SDAI and CDAI (see online supplementary figure 1A–D). A larger percentage of adalimumab+MTX patients than MTX alone patients demonstrated good or moderate European League Against Rheumatism responses (figure 3D) and were in states of low disease activity or remission after 26 weeks of treatment (figure 3E). Furthermore, a significantly larger percentage of adalimumab+MTX patients versus MTX alone patients satisfied Boolean remission criteria (19.3% vs 8.6%, p=0.007). Adalimumab+MTX achieved a 1.8- to 2.2-fold increase in the percentage of patients achieving clinical remission, across all definitions of clinical remission evaluated, versus MTX alone.\n\nA significantly larger decrease from baseline in mean HAQ-DI score, indicative of an improvement in physical function, was observed for adalimumab+MTX patients versus MTX alone patients at week 26 ($-0.6 \\pm 0.6$ vs $-0.4 \\pm 0.6$; p<0.001). Although the significant difference between the two groups was small (0.2 units), the percentage of patients achieving normal functionality (HAQ-DI score<0.5) after 26 weeks of treatment was also significantly higher with adalimumab+MTX (figure 3F).\n\n**Factors associated with the absence of radiographic progression or with clinical remission**\n\nDisease activity or function baseline variables generally were associated with the absence of radiographic progression ($\\Delta mTSS \\leq 0.5$) and with clinical remission (DAS28-ESR<2.6) in both treatment groups (see online supplementary text and online supplementary table 1).\n\n### Table 1: Demographics and baseline characteristics\n\n| Parameter* | Adalimumab+MTX (n=171) | MTX (n=163) |\n|------------|------------------------|-------------|\n| Age±SD (year) | 54.0±13.1 | 54.0±13.2 |\n| Females (n (%)) | 144 (84.2) | 128 (78.5) |\n| RA duration±SD (year) | 0.3±0.4 | 0.3±0.4 |\n| Weight±SD (kg) | 54.4±9.7 | 56.1±12.3 |\n| Previous DMARD use (n (%)) | 74 (43.3) | 87 (53.4) |\n| 1 DMARD | 57 (33.3) | 69 (42.3) |\n| 2 DMARDs | 17 (9.9) | 18 (11.0) |\n| Corticosteroid use at baseline (n (%)) | 58 (33.9) | 49 (30.1) |\n| RF positive (n (%)) | 146 (85.4) | 136 (83.4) |\n| Mean titre±SD (IU/ml) | 154.5±202.3 | 163.7±362.8 |\n| Anti-CCP positive (n (%)) | 145 (84.8) | 136 (83.4) |\n| Mean titre±SD (U/ml) | 386.2±694.2 | 241.3±367.2 |\n| ESR (mm/h) | 59.9±30.1 | 61.8±29.0 |\n| CRP (mg/dl) | 2.9±3.0 | 3.1±3.3 |\n| Swollen joint count (n±SD) | | |\n| 0–28 | 11.5±4.7 | 11.8±5.3 |\n| 0–66 | 16.5±6.2 | 17.3±7.7 |\n| Tender joint count (n±SD) | | |\n| 0–28 | 13.2±5.8 | 13.2±6.1 |\n| 0–68 | 20.7±9.4 | 21.1±10.2 |\n| mTSS | 13.6±22.3 | 13.6±17.4 |\n| Erosion score | 7.5±11.6 | 7.3±9.2 |\n| Joint space narrowing score | 6.2±11.4 | 6.2±9.4 |\n| DAS28-ESR | 6.6±0.9 | 6.6±1.0 |\n| DAS28-CRP | 5.8±1.0 | 5.9±1.0 |\n| HAQ-DI score | 1.1±0.7 | 1.3±0.8 |\n| SDAI score | 40.7±12.0 | 41.4±13.8 |\n| CDAI score | 37.8±10.9 | 38.3±12.4 |\n| Physician's global assessment of disease activity±SD (mm) | 65.8±18.4 | 66.2±18.8 |\n| Patient's global assessment of disease activity±SD (mm) | 64.1±24.8 | 66.4±23.7 |\n\n*Data are mean±SD unless otherwise indicated.\n\nCCP, cyclic citrullinated peptide; CDAI, clinical disease activity index; CRP, C reactive protein; DAS28-CRP, disease activity score using a 28-joint count and CRP level; DAS28-ESR, disease activity score using a 28-joint count and ESR; DMARD, disease-modifying antirheumatic drug; ESR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate; HAQ-DI, Health Assessment Questionnaire disability index; mTSS, modified total Sharp score; MTX, methotrexate; RA, rheumatoid arthritis; RF, rheumatoid factor; SDAI, simplified disease activity index."}

Data show that, basic infiltration rate values after each season are increased in the treated soils, whereas, the values of basic IR under subsoiling and/or moling varied from 0.9 to 1.66 cm/h while, under open drainage they ranged from 0.39 to 0.59 cm/h. This may be due to the subsurface tillage gave the top soil layer a chance to dry and permitted for shrinkage and formation of water passage ways which allowed a rather easier movement of water into mole or subsoil line. Similar results were obtained by Abdel-Mawgoud et al., (2003 and 2006). Basic IR in all seasons is somewhat higher with subsoil+mole than that with subsoil or mole treatment. Also, no obvious different between basic IR values under both subsoil and mole treatments. Data also clear that, mean values of basic IR are lower after rice crop than after sugar beet crop by 41.81, 35.13, 46.31 and 38.42 % for open drainage, subsoil-open drainage, mole-open drainage and subsoil+mole+open drains, respectively.

The distant past, his origin, on the other hand, is liberating. Struggling to exist in the confusion and dis-ease of his life, Milkman is introduced to his aunt Pilate, a \"woman who had as much to do with his future as she had his past\" (Song 36), at a time when he begins to feel \"as though there were no future to be had\" (Song 35). Pilate rearranges the chronology of Milkman's life by sending him back to his earliest origins, Shalimar.\n\nEven though Milkman sets off on a treasure hunt for gold that Pilate may have buried in a cave, the spiritual liberation, the ability of flight, and the connectedness with his past overshadow the value of any gold. There is a slight comfort, a subtle relaxation that occurs when he feels himself getting closer to the past, the origin of his family. He is recognized in Danville, Pennsylvania. And there is a suggestion that this is the first time Milkman drops his defensive, self-protecting stance. \"Milkman smiled and let his shoulders slump a little,\" Morrison writes. \"It was a good feeling to come into a strange town and find a stranger who knew your people\" (Song 259).

Non-Independent Films (Non-Transferable Tax Credit)\n - Credit will apply to a maximum qualified spend of $100 million (no total budget cap)\n\n2. Independent Films* (Transferable Tax Credit)\n - Credit will apply to a maximum qualified spend of $10 million (no total budget cap)\n\n* An \"Independent Film\" means a film with a minimum production budget of $1,000,000 that is produced by a company that is not publicly traded and that publicly traded companies do not own more than 25% of the producing company. While there is no budget cap, credits apply only to the first $10,000,000 of qualified expenditures. An independent film must have a running time of at least 75 minutes and be intended for commercial distribution to a motion picture theater, home video, television or via the internet. Independent films may be made-for-television movies, but cannot be mini-series or TV series, due to the running time requirement.\n\nJOBS RATIO RANKING\n\nApplications are ranked within categories (Indie Film vs. other Indie Film) based upon their \"Jobs Ratio\" score.\n\nFor historical reference only, below are the lowest adjusted jobs ratios for the projects that received a reservation of credits during the previous 2 application periods for indie and non-indie feature film projects:\n\n- Independent Feature Film: 4.61086 and 4.13445\n- Non-Independent Feature Film: 3.61818 and 3.83274\n\nThe jobs ratio numbers quoted above are based on applications received during prior application periods. These numbers should not be relied upon as a guaranteed jobs ratio minimum in future application periods. Applicants are measured against their specific applicant pool and as such, each jobs ratio minimum is specific to those types of productions during a specific allocation period.\n\nBe sure to download the Jobs Ratio Calculator. This tool is available to assist you in determining your Jobs Ratio.\n\nONLINE APPLICATION\n\nThe portal will go live Monday, June 17 at 8:00 a.m. and close on Friday, June 21, 2019 at NOON.\n\nApplicants should begin to prepare their budget and materials early. You will need a completed and tagged budget in order to fill out the application. Projects that rank in the top 200% (double the number of projects for which funding is available) will be notified by June 24, 2019 to submit Phase II documents. Applicants should prepare all materials listed in the Checklist as you will be required to submit these within three days if your application is selected."}

The Commission has been contacted by concerned third parties owning/occupying neighbouring properties. We understand some third parties have registered objections to the application.\n\nThe Commission has considered the materials available, and notes the very late stage in the process, however we have the following independent material comment:\n\n1. We understand from the third parties that consultation notice, and engagement was not wholly effective due to the impact of Covid-19 and that communications did not reach several members of the neighbouring Bay Art property in good time. Pandemic restrictions meant that their public facing gallery and multi-occupancy studios would not have been populated at the time. In the interests of full engagement, the applicant and the Council may benefit from taking further steps to address this."}

Because of this, my investigation consisted of initial surveys in widespread areas of suitable habitat. In addition to nesting territories I discovered, locations of other eyries were obtained by personal communication from Pete Widener, Gerald Geiger, and Jay Sumner, all falconers; David Ellis, a graduate student studying eagles in the vicinity of Area B; and others interested in falcons. The search for eyries continued throughout the 1970 and 1971 field seasons.\n\nI used three criteria to determine productivity and nesting success: number of eggs laid; number of eggs hatched; and number of young fledged. I found that recording complete data from all occupied territories was not feasible because of the large area surveyed, the time spent locating eyries, and the late discovery or inaccessibility of some nesting sites. Furthermore, I considered fledging success to be the best indicator of productivity, and minimized my visits to eyries during incubation and soon after hatching to reduce disturbance.\n\nBreeding Population\n\nEnderson (1964) noted that prairie falcons in Colorado arrive at nesting cliffs by mid-March. This appears to be true also of birds in"}

Terminology\n\nThe key words \"MUST\", \"MUST NOT\", \"REQUIRED\", \"SHALL\", \"SHALL NOT\", \"SHOULD\", \"SHOULD NOT\", \"RECOMMENDED\", \"NOT RECOMMENDED\", \"MAY\", and \"OPTIONAL\" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119][RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.\n\nThis document makes use of the terms defined in [RFC8499]. The term \"Global DNS\" is defined in [RFC8499].\n\n‘Encrypted DNS’ refers to a DNS protocol that provides an encrypted channel between a DNS client and server (e.g., DoT, DoH, or DoQ).\n\nThe term ‘Validated Split-Horizon’ is also defined.\n\n2.1. Validated Split-Horizon\n\nA split horizon configuration for some name is considered \"validated\" if the network client has confirmed that a parent of that name has authorized the local network to serve its own responses for that name. Such authorization generally extends to the entire subtree of names below the authorization point.\n\n3. Scope\n\nThe protocol in this document allows the domain owner to create a split-horizon DNS. Other entities which do not own the domain are detected by the client. Thus, DNS filtering is not enabled by this protocol.\n\n4. Local Domain Hint Mechanisms\n\nThere are various mechanisms by which a network client might learn \"local domain hints\", which indicate a special treatment for particular domain names upon joining a network. This section provides a review of some common and standardized mechanisms for receiving domain hints.\n\n4.1. DHCP Options\n\nThere are several DHCP options that convey local domain hints of different kinds. The most directly relevant is \"RDNSS Selection\" [RFC6731], which provides \"a list of domains ... about which the RDNSS has special knowledge\", along with a \"High\", \"Medium\", or \"Low\" preference for each name. The specification notes the difficulty of relying on these hints without validation:"}

This shows that customers, who got highly customer-centric digital experience in other fields, also expect the same from insurance. Through digitalization customers expect improved experience. For the second question, with regarding usage of digital devices to connect with customers n=30 (60%) advisors specified that they are using moderate to very high. But 20 advisors ticked for low to very low. This shows still 40% advisors are not updated to the new way of life. Answer to the third question, whether they got any new policy due to usage of digital device, 56% (n=28) specified they got at least two new policy due to digital usage. Four advisors told they got more than five new policies due to social media. 22 (44%) advisors ticked for low to very low. Eight advisors who ticked for very low didn’t have even a single lead due to digital usage or they don’t use any digital device to approach customers.\n\nWhen respondents were asked about the best method to approach the customers and close the calls, majority (80%, n=40) respondents told that a combination of direct face-to-face contact and contacting through e-mail, mobile and social media will give a better impact.\n\nDigital Usage by Company and Sales Managers:\n\nIn this section, two questions were framed. First question was to know the usage of digital devices by company to approach customers. Second question was to know about the digital usage by sales managers to approach advisors.\n\nTable3: Response of advisors regarding digital usage by company and sales managers\n\n| Usage of mobile, internet by company to approach customers | Number of persons | Percentage |\n|----------------------------------------------------------|------------------|------------|\n| Very high | 00 | 00 |\n| High | 02 | 04 |\n| Moderate | 31 | 62 |\n| Low | 10 | 20 |\n| Very low | 07 | 14 |\n| Total | 50 | 100 |\n\n| Usage of mobile, internet by sales managers to approach advisors | Number of persons | Percentage |\n|-----------------------------------------------------------------|------------------|------------|\n| Very high | 10 | 20 |\n| High | 27 | 54 |\n| Moderate | 08 | 16 |\n| Low | 04 | 08 |\n| Very low | 01 | 02 |\n| Total | 50 | 100 |\n\nSource: Primary data\n\nIn response to usage of digital devices by company to approach customers majority (n=48, 96%) have ticked for moderate to very low. So even a single advisor ticked for very high. This shows that, after the issue of policy companies will have less contact with the advisors. Majority of advisors who ticked for moderate and high, are from private insurance companies. Advisors of private insurance companies told that their company will send birthday wishes, offers etc. to customers through SMS. This shows the digital culture to connect customer with the company, yet to start in public insurance company.\n\nIn response to usage of mobile, internet and social media by sales manager to advisors, majority (n=45, 90%) ticked for moderate to very high. This was irrespective of whether private or public company. This shows sales managers use more digital devices to approach advisors.\n\nWhen the age of advisor is compared with the usage of digital usage, primary data showed a positive relationship. Out of 32 respondents (64%) who are aged below 48 years, 30 respondents (60%) were ticked moderate to very high in the digital usage. Out of remaining 36% respondents (n=18) respondents, majority who were aged above 48 ticked low to very low.\n\n6. Findings of the Study:\n\nThis study found that insurance firms have implemented digitalization in their firm with private sector slightly higher than public sector. It was also found that majority of agents are young in age with high potentials of easily understanding the application and efficient use of new systems. Few senior advisors find it difficult to"}

We also both agreed and pointed out that the article could be tied a bit more closely with ACRL’s Framework for Information Literacy. In fact, we seconded most of one another’s comments, which offered Sarah and Cara clarity and direction in their revisions.\n\n**Authors:** Our conversation also led John and Emily to suggest critical information literacy as a theory to undergird our writing, which enabled us to finally find a focus that worked for the literature review. They helped us reframe our article focus, identify places where we were making assumptions or generalizations, and understand that our article could take a more qualitative instead of quantitative approach.\n\nThrough this effort, the reviewers and authors communicated clearly and negotiated various stages and timelines. The result was a draft process to define how developmental peer review might go (appended).\n\n**Authors:** The OPR process was a transformative experience for us. We are uncertain that our article would have made it through peer review to publication without the guidance, rigor, and transparency of OPR. As a result, the article is now out in the world, connected to the reputation of C&RL, to be published in September 2018 with a pre-print version already available. The full text of the pre-print was downloaded over four hundred times between October 2017 and June 2018. One result of the article is an information privilege class that is being developed at the University of Tennessee, which is slated to be taught in Fall 2018 by Charissa Powell. This success is a direct result of OPR: in addition to the benefits of the process and our resulting development as authors, the article itself improved, contributing to the impact that it will be able to have on the profession.\n\nA typical criticism of OPR is that it breeds bias, and perhaps in some contexts it might, but it also flattens hierarchies and builds authorial voice and confidence. Moreover, when responsibilities, roles, and timelines are clearly defined, OPR is transparent and still constructive and rigorous. Dispelling myths about OPR is the first step to giving early career librarians options and venues for pursuing OPR and diversifying the LIS publishing ecosystem. We both benefited from OPR and see the importance of making similar models accessible for other early-career librarians and new researchers.\n\n**So where do we go from here?**\n\nOverall, the experience was positive and productive.

If the matrix variable \\( P_{12} \\) is fixed to be constant, the aforementioned inequality is an LMI with respect to the matrix variables \\( P_{11}, Q_{22} \\) and \\( \\bar{A}_r = Q_{22} \\bar{B}_r, \\bar{C}_r, D_r \\). Once these variables have been found, the optimal reduced-order models can be reconstructed by\n\n\\[\nG_r(s) = \\begin{bmatrix}\nQ_{22}^{-1} \\bar{A}_r & Q_{22}^{-1} \\bar{B}_r \\\\\n\\bar{C}_r & D_r\n\\end{bmatrix}.\n\\]\n\n(17)\n\nThe matrix inequality (16) as well as (7) clearly indicate that the non-convexity of the problem stems from the bilinear terms with respect to the matrix variable \\( P_{12} \\). Hence, if we can fix \\( P_{12} \\) without introducing any conservatism as in Theorem 2, we are able to obtain globally optimal solutions via LMI optimization.\n\nIV. CONCLUSION\n\nIn this note, we applied the well-established LMI techniques to the \\( \\mathcal{H}_\\infty \\) model reduction problems so that we can obtain lower bounds of the \\( \\mathcal{H}_\\infty \\) cost incurred in the approximation. Following the standard procedure for the LMI-based \\( \\mathcal{H}_\\infty \\) controller synthesis [3], [9], [12], [13], we arrived at two matrix inequalities with nonconvex equality constraints that commonly occur in the general reduced-order \\( \\mathcal{H}_\\infty \\) controller synthesis. With these inequalities and the particular results from the balanced realization, it turns out that the lower bounds are given in terms of the Hankel singular values. Moreover, in the case where we reduce the system order by the multiplicity of the smallest Hankel singular value, we prove that the problem is essentially convex and the \\( \\mathcal{H}_\\infty \\) optimal reduced-order models can be obtained by solving LMI optimization problems. These results are not completely new and coincide with those obtained in the optimal Hankel norm approximation method [5]. Our novel contribution is showing alternative proofs for those results via recently developed LMI-related techniques.\n\nRecall that the \\( \\mathcal{H}_\\infty \\) model reduction problem is a special case of the reduced-order \\( \\mathcal{H}_\\infty \\) controller synthesis problems. It should be noted that those results on the lower bounds of the \\( \\mathcal{H}_\\infty \\) cost and the optimal solutions for a specific order case have not been gained in the general reduced-order \\( \\mathcal{H}_\\infty \\) controller synthesis setting. It is not yet clear to us whether the LMI-based techniques explored in this note can be extended to handle the general reduced-order \\( \\mathcal{H}_\\infty \\) controller synthesis. This topic is currently under investigation.\n\nAPPENDIX\n\nProof of theorem 1: Although Theorem 1 readily follows from [3] and [9], we give here a detailed proof for the completeness of our discussion. Let us first write the state-space realization of the error system \\( E(s) := G(s) - G_r(s) \\) as follows:\n\n\\[\nE(s) = \\begin{bmatrix}\nA_e & B_1 & B_2 \\\\\nC_e & D_1 & D_2\n\\end{bmatrix} = \\begin{bmatrix}\nA & B_1 \\\\\nC_1 & D_{11}\n\\end{bmatrix} + \\begin{bmatrix}\nB_2 \\\\\nD_{12}\n\\end{bmatrix} G[\\mathcal{C}_2][D_{21}]\n\\]\n\n(18)\n\nwhere\n\n\\[\n\\mathcal{G} = \\begin{bmatrix}\nA_r & B_r \\\\\nC_r & D_r\n\\end{bmatrix}.\n\\]\n\n(19)\n\nThen, the matrix inequalities in (5) come to\n\n\\[\n\\begin{bmatrix}\nH_e(PA) & PB_r & C_r^T \\\\\nB_r^T P & -\\gamma^2 T & D_r^T \\\\\nC_r & D_r & -I\n\\end{bmatrix} + H_e \\begin{bmatrix}\nP B_2 \\\\\n0_{p_r \\times q_r}\n\\end{bmatrix} G[\\mathcal{C}_2][D_{21} 0_{q_r \\times p_r}] < 0.\n\\]\n\n(20)\n\nThe conditions in (7) are now derived from (20) by eliminating the variable \\( G \\). Indeed, we see from the Parrott’s Lemma [2], [14] that (20) holds if and only if there exists \\( P \\in \\mathbb{S}_{++}^r \\) such that\n\n\\[\n\\begin{bmatrix}\nP B_2 \\\\\n0_{p_r \\times q_r}\n\\end{bmatrix} L(P) \\begin{bmatrix}\n0_{p_r \\times q_r} \\\\\nD_{12}\n\\end{bmatrix} < 0\n\\]\n\n(21)\n\nwhere \\( L(P) \\) denotes the first term of the second inequality in (20). Furthermore, we have from (19) that\n\n\\[\n\\begin{bmatrix}\nP B_2 \\\\\n0_{p_r \\times q_r}\n\\end{bmatrix} = \\begin{bmatrix}\nI_{p_r} & 0_{p_r \\times q_r} \\\\\n0_{q_r \\times p_r} & I_{q_r}\n\\end{bmatrix} \\begin{bmatrix}\n0_{p_r \\times q_r} \\\\\nD_{12}\n\\end{bmatrix}.\n\\]\n\n(22)\n\nThus, by partitioning \\( P \\) as in (5), the inequalities in (21) reduce, respectively, to\n\n\\[\n\\begin{bmatrix}\nH_e \\begin{bmatrix}\nA (P_{11} - P_{12} P_{22}^{-1} P_{12}^T)^{-1}\n\\end{bmatrix} & B \\\\\nB^T & -\\gamma^2 T\n\\end{bmatrix} < 0.\n\\]\n\n(23)\n\nApplying the Schur Complement technique [1] to these inequalities leads to (7) with \\( X_{11} = (P_{11} - P_{12} P_{22}^{-1} P_{12}^T)^{-1} \\). Furthermore, by\n\n\\[\n\\begin{bmatrix}\nP_{11} A + A^T P_{11} & A^T P_{12} Q_{22} + P_{12} Q_{22} \\bar{A}_r & P_{1, b} + P_{12} Q_{22} \\bar{B}_r \\\\\n* & Q_{22} \\bar{A}_r + \\bar{A}_r^T Q_{22} & Q_{22} \\bar{B}_r + \\bar{B}_r \\\\\n* & * & -\\gamma^2 I\n\\end{bmatrix} < 0.\n\\]\n\n(16)"}

He pursued the creation of animal comfort, ensuring sufficient accommodation space of 1.5 m2 per head adult sheep and 2.55 shelters m2/head in the paddock, with a front feeding of 0.5 m / head.\n\nTo ensure the vital functions were provided in three sheep rations 3 -2.5 kg dry substance, 1.5 to 1.6 UNL, 70-75 PDIN / PDIE, 4.5 g Ca, 2.5 to 3 g P per 100 kg live weight, supplementing these amounts are 15 - 20% in periods of preparation for mating and breeding, and by another 25-45% in the first 1-3 months gestation and lactation.\n\nAdministered daily ration was balanced in minerals and vitamins, to prevent metabolic disorders. Vitamin requirements of green fodder was provided by, when possible, or add the concentrated fodder premixes, and minerals providing necessary.\n\nFeeding calves during the maintenance was made of vegetables, 0.5 to 1 kg / head / day, with succulent forage, fodder beet, 1.5 to 2 kg / head / day, with corn silage, 1.5 to 2 kg / head / day, with a mixture of concentrated feed in the structure came in, on average 25-30% barley, corn 50-60%, 8-12% of sunflower and soybean meal, 1% salt, 2% chalk feed.\n\nUsing pasture was grown on a longer period, it has positive effects on animal health and productive level, avoiding long and tiring road. Water was provided ad libitum at pasture and shady resting place. The need for water was 3-4 times greater than the amount of dry matter intake, 3-6 liters per day respectively. Special attention was given to lactating ewes, which were used to stimulate lactation feed, succulent fodder, corn silage, fodder beet or green mass (Jarige, 1990; Tafta, 2008).\n\nDuring the grazing forage ration was supplemented with a fibrous filler fodder and concentrates.\n\nFeeding was carried from youth aged 8-10 days, the lambs were provided in specially designed pens, good quality hay, vitamins and concentrates consisting of 50% corn, 40% and 10% oats or peas Oil cake, making the administration at their discretion. This feeding was continued until weaning of lambs, after which the system was performed semi fattening lambs, for a period of 180 days, alternating system maintenance, 105 days and 75 days grazing calves.\n\nIn the first period for calves lambs were feed with forage ration was 0.662 kg DS, 0.663 UNC, 62.20 g PDIE and 63.8 g PDIN the induction phase and 0.803 kg DS, 0.752 UNC, 72.3 g PDIN and 73.7 g PDIE, during growth and fattening.

Benefited from grazing lambs seeded plots, which was used a mixture of 70-75% grasses (Dactylis glomerata, Festuca pratensis, Lolium perenne) and 25% perennial legumes (Medicago sativa, Trifolium repens). Fattening lambs was structured in three stages: 1 - Loose housing with an accommodation period of 15 days and a period of growth and fattening of 35 days; 2 - grazing, with an accommodation period of 15 days and a period of growth and 90 days fattening; 3 - Loose housing with an accommodation period of 10 days and finishing 35 days. Switching from one pasture to fatten the calves was achieved by an induction phase of 15 days, increasing the daily intake of feed concentrates and volume. During the calves were fed ad libitum lambs, with the unique blend of feed ratio was 30% and 70% concentrated fibber. Water and salt lumps were provided ad libitum, both at pasture and in calves. Monthly weighing of animals was done by the end of the fattening period.\n\n**RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS**\n\nAfter registering births and weighing lambs were calculated main indices take the groups of sheep breeding (Table 1)."}

Conservative treatments include oral analgesics, physiotherapy and steroid injections. 50 consecutive patients with adhesive capsulitis (MRI diagnosis) underwent an ultrasound guided glenohumeral hydrodilatation procedure followed by protocol-based specialist shoulder physiotherapy.\n\nThere were no complications. 42 patients out of 50 made a full recovery (mean time to full range of motion 4-6 weeks). 7 patients required surgery. 1 patient was lost to follow-up.\n\nThis audit correlates well with the literature that hydrodilatation is safe and effective as a non-surgical treatment for adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder in conjunction with specialist shoulder physiotherapy.\n\nResults\n\nOut of 50, 1 patient was lost to follow-up.\n\nThere were 27 male and 23 female patients with a mean age of 50 (49.66).\n\n2 patients were Type II Diabetic. Neither patient reported an effect on BMs from the procedure.\n\nThere were no complications.\n\n7 patients did not make a full recovery and proceeded to surgery.\n\nPost-procedure, pain scores settled rapidly with a mean pain score reducing from 7 to a score of 3 at 2-4 weeks post-procedure.\n\n42 patients regained full abduction and external rotation by 8-12 weeks following a course of weekly sessions of shoulder-specific physio following the procedure. The mean time to full range of motion was 4-6 weeks.\n\nConclusion\n\nThis audit correlates well with the literature that hydrodilatation is safe and effective as a non-surgical treatment for adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder in conjunction with specialist shoulder physiotherapy.\n\nReferences\n\nBunchbinder R, Green S, Forbes A, Hall S, Lawler G.

Although methods of data collection across the region vary greatly, a recent study in Brazil estimates the prevalence of disability in the country at 14.5 percent.\n\nDisability is an important cause and consequence of poverty. About 82 percent of disabled people in LAC live in poverty, which in most cases also affects family members.\n\nDisabled people tend to experience widespread exclusion from the social, economic and political life of the community, whether due to active stigmatization or to the neglect of their needs in the design of policies, programs and facilities.\n\nDisability is especially high in post-conflict countries and in areas of natural disasters.\n\nEducation\n\nOnly about 20-30 percent of children with disabilities are attending school in the region. Poor attendance by disabled children derives from severe lack of adequate transportation, teacher training, equipment, furniture, learning materials, and access to school infrastructure. In addition to these visible barriers, impediments to quality inclusive education also come from attitudinal barriers.\n\n--In Honduras, people with disabilities have an illiteracy rate of 51 percent compared to 19 percent for the general population.\n\n--Only an estimated 20 percent of regular schools in Brazil are accessible to disabled children and less than 10 percent in Mexico.\n\n--In Surinam, 90 percent of disabled children in school attend special segregated schools.\n\nEmployment\n\nAbout 80-90 percent of disabled people in LAC are unemployed or outside the work force. Most of those who have jobs receive little or no monetary remuneration.\n\n--In Argentina, the unemployment rate of disabled people is estimated to be close to 91 percent.\n\n--In Mexico, the 75% of the population with disabilities are unemployed."}

Work in these two union settings was designed very traditionally with no job combination or upskilling, limited involvement in problem-solving groups, and little training—either formal or informal. The HERE-represented hospital had not experimented with the multi-skilled Patient Care Associate (PCA) role (we describe this in greater detail below) that many hospitals had tried in the 1990s. The IUOE-represented hospital however, had done so in 1996. By mid-1999, however, the multi-skilled PCA role had been rolled back and abandoned after lacklustre results.\n\nThe four SEIU 1199-represented hospitals looked quite different. Wages for our focal groups of low skill workers in these four hospitals are significantly higher than in the rest of our sample. Not surprisingly, given the much higher wages, turnover in these four locations is considerably lower. The union also plays a much larger role at the workplace than in the two other unionized hospitals. In each of these hospitals, joint union-management committees meet on a regular basis to discuss workplace issues. Of note are the discussions around work reorganization and the considerable union input into the redesign of jobs. There has been no move in these hospitals towards the multi-skilled Patient Care Associate role. Instead, the major work redesign initiative negotiated with the union has been the upskilling of the nursing assistant role so that nursing assistants do phlebotomy, administer EKGs, and can take over a number of low end nursing jobs such as recording data, simple sterile procedures, and the like. In addition, the union, jointly with management, oversees the disbursements from a negotiated training fund. This training fund is used not only to train nursing assistants to take on the redesigned jobs, but has also been used to further more general worker training. Workers can access these union negotiated funds to complete their general equivalency diploma (GED) and to go on to higher education. We spoke with several nursing assistants who were enrolled in programs to complete their registered nurse (RN) certification. The training funds were seen as a way to enable workers, through training and education, to leave the low wage, low skill jobs they were currently in.\n\nThus, there are three distinct models co-existing in our sample: 9 non-union settings, 2 low involvement union settings, and 4 high involvement union settings. In our analysis, we compare the effect of union representation (by either a high or low involvement union) as well as the effect of representation by a high involvement union on workers’ perceptions of dignity at work."}

Thus of the \"traditional five\" the methods of Adams \\( (t = 0) \\), Webster \\( (t = 0.5) \\) and Jefferson \\( (t = 1) \\) are parametric methods; and Condorcet's \\( (t = 0.4) \\) is as well. The simplicity of the mathematical definition of such a method seems to be its chief feature for there is no qualitative characterization that distinguishes a parametric divisor method from the general class of divisor methods. However, we are told that \"the parametric method covers all the six traditional methods ... by changing the parameter \\( t \\) from 0.0 to 1.0\" ([12], p. 214, underlining added). What \"covers\" means is left undefined. It seems that in some sense the reader is to feel that it \"suffices\" to consider these methods: presumably they produce all reasonably conceivable solutions. And yet, there are problems for which there is a divisor method apportionment that is unattainable by *any* parametric divisor method. Table 3 gives an example of a problem where the unique Hill apportionment can be obtained by no parametric divisor method. It is a simple exercise to prove that if \\( a \\) is an apportionment of \\( h \\) for two parametric divisor methods, one based on \\( t_1 \\) and the other on \\( t_2 \\) \\( (t_2 \\geq t_1) \\), then it is also an apportionment of \\( h \\) for all parametric divisor methods based on \\( t \\), where \\( t_1 \\leq t \\leq t_2 \\). Thus, the table contains all parametric divisor method solutions.\n\n10. Bias\n\nOyama [12] carries out extensive analyses of the various different apportionments of the 512 seats of the House of Representatives among Japan's 130 political constituencies according to the 1985 populations. On the basis of his analysis he concludes:\n\n\"We believe that the [method of Hamilton] is the most unbiased method.\" (p. 206)\n\nA parametric method \"should be taken into account for the parameter\" \\( 0.3 \\leq t \\leq 0.5 \\) since \\( t \\) larger than 0.5 makes solutions \"too favorable to larger constituencies\" and \\( t \\) smaller than 0.3 \"too favorable to smaller constituencies\" (p. 207).\n\n\"We would like to strongly recommend [the parametric divisor method] with parameter value\" \\( 0.46 \\leq t \\leq 0.48 \\) (p. 214).\n\nIn making these assertions he falls into the same traps as others have before him. There is no definition of what is meant by an \"unbiased\" method, no specific criterion is given by which to judge whether a method is too favorable for one or another class of constituencies, the entire analysis concerns the *one* specific problem in question and no others. Therefore, given another problem it is impossible to know what conclusions might be drawn - perhaps Webster's method would seem the \"most unbiased,\" perhaps a parameter value below 0.4 and above 0.55 would make solutions too favorable for the smaller or the larger constituencies.7\n\n7Oyama [12] defines parametric divisor methods as here but then switches terms by talking about \\( 1 - t \\) rather than \\( t \\). This explains the abbreviated citations."}

Individuals reach lengths to 15 cm and occur subtidally and lower in soft sediments. Pacific distribution from Bolinas to San Diego, California (Coe 1904; Roe et al. 2007). *Tubulanus sexlineatus* is up to 1.5 m in length, chocolate brown with white rings and 5–6 longitudinal lines. This tube-dwelling species is found from Alaska to southern California (Griffin 1898; Roe et al. 2007). *Tubulanus capistratus* is a slender and brown tube-dweller (Coe 1901), up to one meter long, with many narrow white transverse rings and three longitudinal lines. The range of *T. capistratus* is Alaska to Monterey Bay, California (Roe et al. 2007). Subtidal species found off the coast of southern California include *T. albocinctus* and *T. frenatus* (Coe 1904; Corrêa 1964).\n\nBecause of the many identifying characteristics that are internal and not visible, it is sometimes very difficult to distinguish among nemerteans without dissecting them. Ways in which the worms flatten, contract, and coil are useful as aids to identification of live specimens.\n\n**Ecological Information**\n\n**Range:** NE Pacific range Aleutian Islands, Alaska south to Monterey, California. Worldwide distribution includes northern European and Mediterranean coasts.\n\n**Local Distribution:** Collected in Coos Bay in exposed parts of estuaries, as well as rocky outer shores. Coos Bay sites include Charleston, Barview and Pony Slough.\n\n**Habitat:** Under heavy boulders, among mussels, in mud and shell hash, on both open coast and in bays (Haderlie 1975). It is the common large orange nemertean of the outer coastal rocky intertidal.\n\n**Salinity:** Often collected on outer rocky shores at salinities of 30.\n\n**Temperature:** Found in cold and temperate waters.\n\n**Tidal Level:** Intertidal (Corrêa 1964) to low intertidal and subtidal zones (Haderlie 1980).\n\n**Associates:** Small polychaetes are often found within the parchment tubes of *T. polymorphus*.\n\n**Abundance:** Rather common (Corrêa 1964) and quite common on the outer coast in Oregon, but rarely abundant in Alaska (Coe 1901).\n\n**Life-History Information**\n\n**Reproduction:** Male and female individuals often inhabit the same parchment tube where they deposit eggs (Coe 1943). Specimens are sexually mature from early summer (San Juan Island, WA, Stricker 1987) to August (Coe 1905) and can produce great numbers of large (350 µm in diameter) eggs (Stricker 1987), which are often used for experimental studies (Coe 1940; Stricker et al. 2001, 2013).\n\n**Larva:** Larvae hatch after two days, are large (500 µm in length) and uniformly ciliated with inconspicuous apical tuft of cilia (Stricker 1987). These lecithotrophic larvae develop rapidly (approximately 90 hr, Coe 1940; Stricker 1987).\n\n**Juvenile:**\n\n**Longevity:**\n\n**Growth Rate:** The growth rate of most nemerteans is unknown. Most species have some regenerative ability. *Tubulanus polymorphus* and *T. sexlineatus* are known to regenerate both anterior and posterior ends (T. Hiebert, pers. obs.)\n\n**Food:** A predator on soft-bodied worms and mollusks, where only soft parts are ingested from larger prey (Coe 1943)."}

There was, however, very little subcapsular fibrosis anteriorly.\n\nRabbit 987. The cornea showed vascularisation and leucocytic infiltration of its anterior lamellae and some subepithelial fibrosis. On one side there was also a thick plaque of retrocorneal fibrous tissue. Residual lens material was seen within a slightly folded capsule. Poly-HEMA material was present in the anterior chamber in a fragmented state.\n\nRabbit 692. Vascularisation, leucocytic infiltration (slight) and scarring of the superficial cornea were present. Residual lens tissue within the incised capsule was cataractous, and fibrous synechiae between the anterior surface of the residual lens and iris margin were present also. Lens tissue was incarcerated in the pupillary margin of the iris. There was no sign of prosthetic lens material.\n\nRabbit 717 (control). There was an inflammatory response to retained suture material at the limbus. Residual cataractous lens material in a ring form was adherent to the ciliary processes, and there had been a peripheral iridectomy.\n\nRabbit 853. There was widespread vascularisation of the superficial corneal stroma, and on one side there was peripheral anterior synechia with endothelialisation and the formation of a Descemet's membrane crossing the angle and extending on to the iris. The lens showed evidence of capsular incision with removal of lens tissue, residual lens fibres were subject to vacuolation, and anteriorly there was a little subcapsular fibrosis. There was no evidence of intraocular inflammation. No prosthetic material was seen in the sections.\n\nRabbit 895. The cornea was vascularised towards the periphery, and at one place, where Descemet's membrane had been divided, there was retrocorneal fibrosis. The lens capsule had been incised, and remnants of the lens were enclosed within a folded capsule associated with anterior subcapsular fibrosis. There was no sign of inflammation within the eye. Prosthetic material was not seen.\n\nRabbit 2137. There was vascularisation of the superficial cornea associated with some scarring in the region of the limbal incision. Some cataractous remnants of the lens were present within a folded capsule. There was no uveitis. Prosthetic material was not seen.\n\nRabbit 1093. Towards the limbus there was an inflammatory reaction to retained suture material, but otherwise the cornea was normal. A ring cataract was present within the incised lens capsule, but there was no intraocular inflammation. Prosthetic material was not seen.\n\nSince a poly-HEMA implant was inserted in each case except one, it can only be assumed it was dislodged during processing of the globes. The poly-HEMA did not appear to provoke any reaction in the adjacent tissues, whether of a direct toxic or indirect immunological nature. Corneal changes were attributable to surgical considerations rather than the nature of the implant.\n\nDiscussion\n\nIt would seem from this preliminary study that in the short term at least the material used here produces no demonstrable tissue reaction. Whether over a longer period toxic substances might leach out of the lens is not known. Nor is it known whether the lens will itself be biodegraded within the eye. This study having shown that poly-HEMA may possibly be suitable for lens implanting in terms of tissue reaction, further work is now required to test the optical properties of the lens and its ideal form. The original idea had been to produce a lens which could be rolled up and placed in the eye following a Kelman phacoemulsification cataract extraction. Further developments are taking place along these lines.\n\nAs can be seen this study has satisfied all of Seales's criteria except its carcinogenic nature, which would require a much longer follow-up period for assessment.\n\nReferences\n\n1 Ridley H.

Of these 5 meta-analyses, 3 (2 with significant statistical heterogeneity) found no effectiveness. The most recent Cochrane meta-analysis found that PPSV23 significantly reduced all-cause CAP (OR = 0.72; 95% CI 0.56 to 0.93), with pneumonia occurring in 4.32% of the vaccinated group compared with 6.17% of the placebo group. However, heterogeneity of the included studies was very high (85%), indicating that the pooled results are unreliable. Finally, a fifth study found a modest reduction in all-cause pneumonia (relative risk of 0.87; 95% CI 0.76 to 0.98), with those aged 65 years and older and those aged younger than 65 years who were at high risk showing particular benefit (relative risk of 0.72; 95% CI 0.69 to 0.94). Taken together, the results of these meta-analyses indicate that although PPSV23 is effective for IPD, there is inconclusive evidence of its effectiveness against pneumococcal or all-cause CAP.\n\n**Effectiveness of PCV13.** Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines have demonstrated effectiveness since their introduction in 2001. Specifically in Canada, hospitalization for all-cause and pneumococcal pneumonia has significantly declined in adults aged 65 years of age and older (P < .001), likely at least partially because of herd effects from the pediatric pneumococcal immunization program (which achieved 79.2% national coverage with 3 doses in 2013). More recently, the Community-Acquired Pneumonia Immunization Trial in Adults (CAPiTA), which randomized 84,496 vaccine-naïve subjects aged 65 years and older in the Netherlands to receive PCV13 or placebo, demonstrated PCV13 efficacy in preventing first episodes of pneumococcal CAP as well as vaccine-type pneumococcal CAP. In the modified intent-to-treat analysis, vaccine efficacy for PCV13 against first episodes of pneumococcal CAP was 22.4% (95% CI 2.3% to 38.5%), with incidence rates of 0.32% for PCV13 and 0.41% for placebo over a mean follow-up duration of approximately 4 years. Efficacy against first episodes of all-cause CAP (5.1%; 95% CI -5.1% to 14.2%; respective incidence rates of 1.77% and 1.86%) was not significant.\n\nThe overall adverse event profile was consistent with findings of previous adult studies. Serious adverse events (the primary safety end point) occurred with similar frequencies across groups within both 1 month (all participants) and 6 months (safety subgroup) of vaccination; the frequencies of newly diagnosed chronic medical conditions (safety subgroup) and deaths (all participants) were also comparable across groups. The higher frequency of adverse events within 1 month of vaccination in the PCV13 group compared with the placebo group (18.7% vs 14.3% [safety subgroup]) was attributable to injection-site reactions and muscular pain.\n\nThe protective efficacy of PCV13 extended throughout the 4-year study. A recent report estimated that, based on data from this study, the number needed to vaccinate to prevent 1 case of all-cause CAP in those aged 65 years and older over 5 years was 234; it is important to note that this estimate used vaccine efficacy estimates for vaccine-type CAP in the per-protocol population (45.0%; 95.2% CI 14.2% to 65.3%) and the proportion of CAP caused by PCV13 serotypes as input parameters. Additionally, results from a post hoc analysis of CAPiTA data found that using additional screening to detect missed end points greatly reduced the calculated number need to vaccinate against vaccine-type CAP (from 1007 to 634); this overestimation likely relates to all study outcomes. Based on results from the CAPiTA trial, in July 2015, Health Canada approved PCV13 for active immunization of adults aged 18 years and older for preventing pneumonia and IPD caused by the PCV13 serotypes.\n\n**Serotype replacement.** Widespread implementation of PCVs in pediatric vaccination programs, including in Canada, has led to increases in the prevalence of nonvaccine serotypes. In Canada, the proportion of IPD caused by PCV13 serotypes declined from 55% in 2010 (the year PCV13 was introduced) to 43% in 2012, but the proportion of nonvaccine types concomitantly increased from 20% to 25%. This phenomenon, termed serotype replacement, underscores the importance of monitoring changes in all-cause CAP and all-serotype IPD in both observational and interventional studies, as it is possible for vaccine-type CAP or IPD to decrease while morbidity and mortality remain unchanged owing to increasing prevalence of other serotypes or pathogens. For PCV13 in particular, it is important to note that serotype distributions following PCV13 introduction have been associated with statistically significant decreases in both invasiveness and antimicrobial resistance.\n\n**Pneumococcal vaccination recommendations for select groups.** Pneumococcal vaccination guidelines in Canada have evolved over time. In 2013, NACI recommended PCV13 followed by PPSV23 8 or more weeks later for immunocompromised individuals. In 2016, NACI recommended PCV13 followed by PPSV23 for preventing CAP and IPD caused by PCV13 serotypes “on an individual basis” in immunocompetent pneumococcal vaccine-naïve individuals aged 65 or older (NACI recommendation grade A). Pneumococcal vaccination guidelines for individuals aged 65 years and older are illustrated in Figure 1. Immunocompetent individuals younger than 65 years of age with underlying medical conditions are generally recommended to receive PPSV23 alone. All individuals who received PPSV23 before age 65 should be revaccinated at age 65 years or older; revaccination is also recommended for those of all ages at highest risk. Table 3 summarizes current NACI recommendations for pneumococcal vaccination by age and risk group."}

Hence, earmarking carries with it an inherent risk that projects may end up over- or underfinanced, or that circumstances change in such a way that other projects are more beneficial to invest in. A misallocation of resources is a possible result. Economists and fiscal experts therefore usually oppose legal earmarking (see, in this context, World Bank, 2005) and suggest instead that revenues should be allocated in a productive and efficient way to harvest additional economic benefits comparable to those of other economic uses, hence minimising the cost of the policy to the economy (IMF, 2012).\n\n2.7.2 Earmarking to enhance political acceptance\n\nThe allocation of tax revenues has an impact on households, companies and the economy as a whole, and the purpose of revenues raised matters for the public acceptance of EFR (World Bank, 2005). For example, dedicating a proportion of tax revenues to a specific project (green investments, for example) can be expected to gain more public acceptance than general budget appropriation, because it makes the link between environmental taxes and environmental improvement more clear (Cottrell et al., 2015).\n\nEarmarking revenues in this way can increase public trust in policy, enhance transparency of expenditure and might even “mitigate the baggage associated with the t-word” (Kallbekken, Rorstad, & Vatn, 2011). In addition, linking revenue recycling to policy priorities can ensure policy stability and, as mentioned above, a combination of both is environmentally most effective (Ekins, 2009).\n\nA legally binding earmark is unconstitutional in many countries and, in any case, inadvisable. Nevertheless, the revenue from a certain environmental tax can still be politically connected to a certain spending programme. Such ‘soft earmarking’ can be understood by electorates as a declaration of intention. Linking EFR to a government’s spending policies can change the public perception of the reform’s benefits without compromising budgetary\n\n14 Linking ETR to the ‘polluter pays’ principle can also be helpful in this regard, as support for the principle is widespread (Cottrell, 2015)."}

{"primary_language":"en","is_rotation_valid":true,"rotation_correction":0,"is_table":false,"is_diagram":false,"natural_text":"In addition, the USPTO has continued to seek input from applicants whose marks contain design elements, informing them of the design codes applied to their marks and offering the applicants the opportunity to submit corrections or additions to the coding. Specifically, each applicant for a mark that includes design elements receives a notice from the USPTO explaining design coding, explicitly identifying the Vienna Classification design codes assigned to the applicant’s mark, and providing detailed instructions on how to request supplements or revisions to the assigned codes. Since November 2005, the USPTO has sent approximately 82,000 such notices. Beginning in July 2007, the USPTO will seek similar input from registrants whose existing registrations are for marks that include design elements. The USPTO reviews proposed corrections from any source that pertain to design codes assigned to live registrations or applications, has designated internal and external e-mailboxes for this purpose, and makes changes where necessary. A notice announcing the procedure for submitting proposed corrections was previously published in the USPTO’s Official Gazette and is posted on the USPTO Web site.\n\nInternal review of the quality of the USPTO’s design coding indicates that the efforts to improve quality have succeeded. A recent USPTO study reflects a relatively low error rate in design coding under the Vienna Classification system. In the USPTO’s May 7, 2003, report concerning the paper public search collections, the USPTO cited a 19% design coding error rate among a random sample of 1009 applications filed between January 2001 and March 2002. To reevaluate the quality of design coding in the wake of the many improvement initiatives undertaken by the USPTO, in 2006, the USPTO conducted recurring random searches of new applications featuring design-coded marks. Review of the accuracy of the codes applied to the marks revealed that only 4.5% of records contained errors relating to significant elements of a mark that would negatively impact the ability to retrieve such a mark during a search for confusingly similar marks. Thus, the USPTO’s ongoing efforts have significantly reduced the error rate in design coding.\n\nBy the end of 2007, the USPTO will implement an additional quality enhancement to its design coding under its Vienna Classification system. Under the new procedure, upon acceptance of a registrant’s section 8 affidavit, the registration file will be referred to the USPTO’s design coders, who will review, and revise if necessary, the Vienna Classification design codes assigned to the registration. Upon completion of the review and any revision, the USPTO will notify the registrant of the Vienna Classification codes currently assigned to the registered mark, and provide information about how to request the addition or correction of these design codes.\n\n**Comment 3: Uncoded Backfile**\n\nSeveral comments expressed concerns that the plan to code only future electronic records with the PSD system would result in a hindered ability to accurately search the historic records of the backfile.\n\n**Response:** While the USPTO plans to apply the PSD system only prospectively to electronic records of registered marks, the historic copies of earlier registrations will be retained in microfilm under their originally assigned PSD. Thus, a searcher who wishes to search the backfile records using the PSD will be able to do so through the microfilm collection. The searcher can then also search the electronic database for the more recent registrations coded using the PSD system. Through this process, the search results will be identical to those that would have been retrieved in a search of the paper records. The USPTO notes that no legal obligation compels coding the entire backfile with the new PSD system in the electronic database. The USPTO has determined that the substantial costs and burdens associated with a voluntary undertaking of this nature would outweigh any benefit of providing the service, particularly where the backfile can be searched with the equivalent of the PSD system through the microfilm records.\n\n**Comment 4: Requesting Coding Corrections**\n\nOne comment noted that the USPTO began sending notices to applicants inviting them to correct or add to the design code entries assigned by the Office. The commenter recommended that the USPTO initiate a quality check invitation to owners of all “live” registrations to assist the Office in its quality control.\n\n**Response:** Beginning in July 2007, the filing receipts for post-registration filings submitted via the Trademark Electronic Application System (“TEAS”) will notify registrants of the opportunity to request additions to or corrections of the Vienna Classification design codes assigned to their registrations. By the end of 2007, the USPTO intends to implement a new procedure whereby, upon acceptance of a registrant’s §8 affidavit, the registration file will be referred to the USPTO’s design coders, who will review, and revise if necessary, the design codes assigned to the registration. Upon completion of the review and any revision, the USPTO will notify the registrant of the Vienna Classification codes currently assigned to the registered mark, and provide information about how to request the addition or correction of design codes.\n\nCurrently, the USPTO reviews all proposed corrections from any source, regarding pending applications or registered marks, either sent electronically to the USPTO at TMDesignCodeComments@uspto.gov or received at 1–800–786–9199. A notice announcing such was published in the Official Gazette on October 19, 2004, and is posted on the USPTO’s Web site.\n\n**Comment 5: Accuracy of Microfilming**\n\nOne comment expressed concern over the accuracy of the USPTO’s microfilming efforts, citing an allegation that approximately 10,000 drawings may have been missed and not microfilmed in a previous paper record microfilming project.\n\n**Response:** The quality and accuracy of the microfilming effort will be overseen by the staff of the PSF. The PSF conducted two microfilming projects in 2006, one of the abandoned trademark application drawing pages and the other of the pending trademark application drawing pages. PSF staff members with trademark expertise have overseen both projects, and quality review inspections have been conducted during each project. Care was taken to ensure that the quality of the contents of the reels was excellent, and film quality has been found to be exceptionally high.\n\nWith respect to comprehensiveness of image capture, the comment appears to refer to an incident in one of the projects, where shoes of drawings that had not been removed during the initial retrieval were located. Specifically, 34 out of approximately 8,000 total shoes with approximately 270 drawings per shoe had not been removed initially. However, the oversight was identified while the microfilming project was still in progress, and these drawings were microfilmed and inserted into the correct order. Retrieval and filming of the missing records resulted in no impact on the final product. Thus, although these records were initially overlooked, this oversight was identified and corrected before completion of the project, ensuring..."}

One of the disadvantages of obtaining Newton’s step by solving the linear system (2.13) lies in the fact that the dimension of the linear system (2.13) is large for large-scale problems. In the following section, we present a reduced method that computes Newton’s step by solving a smaller dimension linear system.\n\n### 3. A Reduced Method\n\nConsider an $n \\times (n - m)$ matrix $Z(x)$ with columns that form an orthonormal basis for the null space of $(S^2(x)\\nabla G(x)W(x)G(x))^T$, i.e.\n\n$$Z(x)^T S^2(x)\\nabla G(x)W(x)G(x) = 0,$$\n\n(3.1)\n\nwhere the matrix $Z(x)$ depends on $\\rho$. Here $\\rho$ is omitted to simplify the notation.\n\nIn this paper, the matrix $Z(x)$ can be obtained from the QR factorization of $S^2(x)\\nabla G(x)W(x)G(x)$ as follows:\n\n$$S^2(x)\\nabla G(x)W(x)G(x) = \\begin{bmatrix} Y(x) & Z(x) \\end{bmatrix} \\begin{bmatrix} R(x) \\\\ 0 \\end{bmatrix}.$$\n\n(3.2)\n\nThe orthonormal columns of $Y(x) \\in \\mathbb{R}^{n \\times m}$ form a basis for the column space of $S^2(x)\\nabla G(x)W(x)G(x)$ and $R(x)$ is an $(m \\times m)$ upper triangular matrix. It is easy to see that, $Y(x)^T Y(x) = I_m$, $Z(x)^T Z(x) = I_{n-m}$, and $Y(x)^T Y(x) + Z(x)^T Z(x) = I_n$. The matrix $R(x)$ is nonsingular, if $x$ lies in a sufficiently small neighborhood of $x^*$, and the matrix $S^2(x)\\nabla G(x)W(x)G(x)$ has full column rank at $x^*$.\n\nUsing a continuous differentiable null space matrix $Z(x)$ which is constructed in Goodman [15], the first order necessary condition for a feasible point $x^*$ with respect to the box constraint (2.11), to be solution for Problem (2.1) can be written in the form\n\n$$Z(x)^T S^2(x)\\nabla f(x) = 0.$$\n\n(3.3)\n\nApplying Newton’s method on the system (3.3), then we have\n\n$$[Z(x)^T S^2(x)\\nabla f(x)]' + [Z(x)^T S^2(x)\\nabla f(x)] \\Delta x = -Z(x)^T S^2(x)\\nabla f(x).$$\n\n(3.4)\n\nTo compute $Z(x)'$, we differentiate the equation (3.1). This gives that\n\n$$Z(x)^T S^2(x)\\nabla G(x)W(x)G(x)' + [Z(x)^T S^2(x)\\nabla G(x)W(x)G(x)] = 0.$$\n\n(3.5)\n\nFrom (3.2) and (3.5), we have\n\n$$[Z(x)']^T Y(x) = -Z(x)^T [S^2(x)\\nabla G(x)W(x)G(x)] R(x)^{-1}.$$\n\nSince $Y(x)^T Y(x) = I_m$, then we have\n\n$$[Z(x)']^T = -Z(x)^T [S^2(x)\\nabla G(x)W(x)G(x)] R(x)^{-1} Y(x)^T.$$\n\nMultiplying both side of the above system from the right in $S^2(x)\\nabla f(x)$ and take\n\n$$\\rho = -R(x)^{-1} Y(x)^T S^2(x)\\nabla f(x),$$\n\n(3.6)\n\nthen, we have\n\n$$[Z(x)']^T S^2(x)\\nabla f(x) = \\rho Z(x)^T [S^2(x)\\nabla G(x)W(x)G(x)]'$$\n\n$$= \\rho Z(x)^T [S^2(x)\\nabla G(x)W(x)\\nabla G(x)^T + \\text{diag}(G(x)W(x)G(x))\\text{diag}(\\eta(x))].$$\n\n(3.7)"}

Districts across the state are meeting these expectations through lowering student-to-device ratios to support daily instruction and learning. Districts offer a variety of personal computing devices, including laptops, tablets and traditional desktop computers, to meet their educational goals.\n\nINTERNET BANDWIDTH\nBandwidth measures how much information can be transferred across an internet connection at one time. Schools that offer higher bandwidth ensure that the maximum number of students can benefit from online resources and tools via the Internet. Louisiana’s statewide assessments only require 50 kilobits per second (kbps) of internet bandwidth per student; however accessing the Internet as part of daily classroom instruction is better supported by a 100 kbps or more bandwidth per student.\n\nNETWORK READINESS\nNetwork readiness determines whether a school’s internal network and/or district’s school-to-school wide area network is able to support student educational activities. District networks should be capable of supporting both current network connectivity of 1 Gbps and future instructional requirements, devices, and technology rich resources of 10 Gbps or more."}

{"primary_language":"en","is_rotation_valid":true,"rotation_correction":0,"is_table":false,"is_diagram":false,"natural_text":"Most second-generation standards were developed with the potential to become de facto world standards through international adoption. The European GSM standard—which developed out of the NMT standard—more than fulfilled the expectation of wide international diffusion. Initially conceived as a pan-European standard, it became a world standard. No other second-generation standard achieved this. Deregulated operators (like Swedish Televerket/Telia) as well as firms (such as Ericsson and Nokia) were very active in the consortium that supported the development of the GSM standard. Hence, the close relations between users and producers continued. Over the long term, however, these close relations gradually became looser. The GSM success could not be ascribed only to the strategies of a few innovative organizations, but also to the collaborations of a variety of different organizations: PTOs, standard-setting organizations and research organizations as well as equipment producers.\n\nThe European Commission also had a leading role in the development of GSM. The EU was pushing one standard and it was developed ex ante. This was also a standard that was technologically advanced, operated well and therefore diffused rapidly outside Europe. In contrast, the US digital standards diffused internationally only to a limited extent and the single Japanese standard not at all. The European Commission pushed liberalization and competition in the (mobile) telecommunications sector.1 But it did so within one single standard and did not care about letting standards compete—as in the US standards policy. The standard pushed by the EU was secured to serve all EU members, while the US digital standards were not completely compatible with one another. What the EU did across 13 European countries, the US did not manage to do for one (although large) country.\n\nIt proved to be a major policy mistake to have several standards in the US. This can be considered a serious policy failure for the US as well as a great success for the EU. The reasons for this are that it led to a slower diffusion of mobile telecommunications in the US than in Europe and that the strongest equipment producers emerged in Europe.\n\nThe US policy was calculated and consistent. The FCC was against ex ante standardization—which was preferred by ETSI—and advocated an open network architecture.2 Arguments were that the open architecture was important for the creation of the Internet and that closing it could block further innovation. The FCC was passive in relation to the European invitation to participate in ex ante standardization in wireless services. The FCC also later blocked the route towards 3G convergence in the form of W-CDMA as a global standard (supported by ETSI). This all happened in the latter half of the 1990s. One interpretation of this is that the FCC was tied by the fact that US participants in the 3G race represented different technological alternatives, and therefore the FCC remained ‘neutral’ in the standardization process. At the same time there is the line of thought that suggests ‘the regulation of the new information infrastructure has gravitated toward a clearer recognition of market driven standards. As the world of mobile telecommunications and computer communication (The Internet) collide, the clear trend is for direct regulation to withdraw from the market’ (Glimstedt 2001: 52).\n\nFirms such as Ericsson and Nokia are also moving away from their original idea of a singular standard for 3G services and towards the position that the new mobile telecommunications services should be based on several different but compatible standards: ‘a family of standards’. This is similar to the idea of open architecture in relation to the Internet which advocates that ‘network architecture should be as open as possible, allowing user-led innovation and new combinations of radical technologies’ (Glimstedt 2001: 52). At the same time, however, as we saw in Chapter 1 (section 4.3.2.2B), the most important US mobile telecommunications access providers have, during the first years of the millennium, transferred to GSM. If the reason is to facilitate the transfer to W-CDMA, then ex ante standardization seems to be winning the game anyway. This may be because market sizes and economies of scale created by ex ante standardization lead actors into the dominant trajectory in the evolutionary process of standard creation.3\n\nThe promotion of one single standard was of great importance for European dominance in the production of equipment for the mobile telecommunications industry; for example, it allowed economies of scale to be exploited. The fact that the relations between users and producers were close also proved very important, primarily for the producers. The way GSM developed increased the leadership position of Nokia and Ericsson. This is all the more notable in light of the lack of European success—and US–Asian dominance—in most other ICT sectors. The mobile telecommunications market was growing rapidly and was a major job creator in Europe, until recently.\n\nEurope has emerged as a clear leader in mobile telecommunications due to its success in defining good standards in mobile communications. Ericsson’s and Nokia’s dominance among equipment producers in mobile telecommunications is often traced to the early success of the NMT standard, and GSM is similarly regarded as the means by which early Nordic success was generalized to other EU countries in the second generation of mobile communications.\n\n---\n\n1 In 1996 the Commission decided that mobile services must be competitive, with multiple GSM licences in each member state.\n\n2 The FCC preferred market- and user-driven ex post standards.\n\n3 In Chapter 1 it was argued that there has been an evolutionary process from NMT 450 over GSM to W-CDMA."}

{"primary_language":"en","is_rotation_valid":true,"rotation_correction":0,"is_table":false,"is_diagram":false,"natural_text":"unprecedented demand for land. Through the pressure being mounted by the demand for land, it is a common phenomenon to see most undeveloped land being taken over informally by the rural immigrants who are mostly poor in order to satisfy their urban land needs. Consequently, such invasion or informal development usually leads to uncontrolled and unorganized developments, while such neighborhoods/communities lack basic infrastructural facilities which are needed for healthy living. The rapid rate of development, equally results to overall plannessless of these areas. It is against this background that the paper seeks to addresses the main issues and challenges of informal land use in Lagos and how to prevent informal urban development in order to achieve a sustainable human settlement worthy of living, working and recreating.\n\n3 LITERATURE REVIEW AND CONCEPTUAL ISSUES\n\n3.1 Informal Land use: definition and characteristics\n\nThere has been a considerable growth in the amount of literature on informal land use. Also, the research on the economic, social, and political forces that generate and sustain the incidence of informal development is abundant. This includes work by Payne (1989), Satterthwaite et al (1989), Arche (1992), Rakodi et al (1993), Kombe (1995), Durand–Lasserve (1996), Habitat (1996), and Kombe and Kreibich (2000). Many synonyms have been used in literature to refer to informal land use. These include spontaneous, irregular, unplanned, marginal, squatter and informal settlements (UNHSP, 2003c). Therefore, throughout this paper, informal land use is equated to informal development, informal settlement or squatter settlement.\n\nThe phrase informal settlements has been accepted as well as refuted by scholars in numerous disciplines. According to Leeds and Leeds (1978), the occupation of land that does not belong to the person settling on it is what distinguishes informal settlements from other settlements. The inappropriate invasion of land characterizes these settlements as an illegal form of land use because occupation is neither based on the legal ownership of such land, nor in payment of rent to its legal owners. In a study identifying the significant variables that determine the character of squatter settlements, Leeds argues that the only uniform identifying characteristics are their illegal and unordered origins or organized invasion and, because of their origin, their continued juridically ambiguous status as settlements (Leeds, 1969). Sietchiping (2000) refers to informal land use as any human establishment, human settlement or land use in the urban area which is not suitable and/or in opposition to the expected standard and regulations. Informal land use includes the poor and precarious housing within the city or in the city fringes or other areas where land are vacant, accessible and affordable.\n\nAccording to Srinivas (2003) informal land use is characterized by unauthorized use of vacant public or private land, illegal subdivision and/or rental of land, unauthorized construction of structures and buildings, reliance on low cost and locally available scrap construction materials, absence of restrictive standards and regulations, reliance on family labour and artisanal techniques for construction, non-availability of mortgage or any other subsidized finance. Study by Sietchiping in 2000 revealed that informal land use is characterised by overcrowding, deterioration, insecurity, absence or insufficient basic facilities. These conditions endanger the health, safety or moral of the inhabitants and the livability of the community at large.\n\nThe development of informal land use - the evolution of what are now described as informal settlements - was blamed in the seventies on the tendency of the private land market to marginalize the poor (Gilbert and Ward, 1985; Turner, 1980). Informal land use according to World Bank (1999) constitutes an expression of poor urbanization and poverty of city dwellers as well as failed policies, bad governance, corruption, inappropriate regulations, dysfunctional land markets. Furthermore, according to Yapi-Diahou (1994) informal (settlement) land use originated from difficult problems of housing, immigration rate, politics, physical planning, landlessness, land tenure system and employment especially in the urban areas. In particular, they originate from the existing gap between the number formal/regular land supply and the need. Land in the formal market remains too expensive for urban poor. Government allocations are slow and bureaucratic, and the land allocated for shelter considered insufficient. Recent empirical observations in nine African countries according to Mattingly and Durand-Lasserve (2004) provide evidence that Informal land systems are effective enough in terms of the quantity delivered to be an alternative to formal urban land delivery systems. They are less bureaucratic and more flexible than formal systems. They are more effective in reaching poor people. However, their viability, livability and sustainability raise a series of questions as"}

The coordinates are chosen as follows $\\mathbf{q} = [q_1\\ q_2\\ q_3]^T \\triangleq [\\theta\\ \\mathbf{p}]^T \\in S^1 \\times \\mathbb{R}^2$, where $\\theta$ denotes an orientation of the local frame with respect to the inertial frame and $\\mathbf{p} \\triangleq [X\\ Y]^T$ determines position of the figure. For planar motion one can obtain the following kinematics\n\n$$\n\\dot{\\mathbf{q}} \\triangleq \\Theta(q_1)\\mathbf{\\eta},\n$$\n\n(5.1)\n\nwhere $\\Theta(q_1) \\triangleq \\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 \\\\ 0 & R(q_1) \\end{bmatrix} \\in SO(3)$, $R(q_1) \\triangleq \\begin{bmatrix} \\cos q_1 & -\\sin q_1 \\\\ \\sin q_1 & \\cos q_1 \\end{bmatrix} \\in SO(2)$, $\\mathbf{\\eta} \\triangleq [\\omega\\ \\mathbf{v}]^T \\in \\mathbb{R}^3$ describes angular velocity $\\omega$ and components of linear velocity, $\\mathbf{v} \\triangleq [v_x\\ v_y]^T$, expressed in the local frame.\n\nNow suppose that figure $\\mathcal{F}$ follows some reference target $\\mathcal{F}_r$ defining a reference trajectory $\\mathbf{q}_r = [q_{r1}\\ q_{r2}\\ q_{r3}]^T \\triangleq [\\theta_r\\ \\mathbf{p}_r]^T$ which satisfies $\\dot{\\mathbf{q}}_r \\triangleq \\Theta(q_{r1})\\mathbf{\\eta}_r$, where $\\mathbf{\\eta}_r \\triangleq [\\omega_r\\ \\mathbf{v}_r]^T$ with $\\mathbf{v}_r \\triangleq [v_{rx}\\ v_{ry}]^T$ denotes reference velocities and $\\|\\mathbf{\\eta}_r\\| \\in \\mathcal{L}_\\infty$.\n\nThe tracking error can be defined with respect to the target frame \\[3\\] as follows\n\n$$\n\\tilde{\\mathbf{q}} = [\\tilde{q}_1\\ \\tilde{q}_2\\ \\tilde{q}_3]^T = [\\tilde{q}_1\\ \\tilde{\\mathbf{p}}^T]^T \\triangleq \\Theta^T(q_{r1}) \\begin{bmatrix} q_1 \\ominus q_{r1} \\\\ \\mathbf{p} - \\mathbf{p}_r \\end{bmatrix},\n$$\n\n(5.2)\n\nwhere $\\ominus$ denotes the following operation with respect to any $\\phi_1, \\phi_2 \\in S^1$\n\n$$\n\\phi_1 \\ominus \\phi_2 \\triangleq \\begin{cases} \n\\phi_1 - \\phi_2 & \\text{for } -\\pi < \\phi_1 - \\phi_2 \\leq \\pi, \\\\\n\\phi_1 - \\phi_2 + 2\\pi & \\text{for } \\phi_1 - \\phi_2 \\leq -\\pi, \\\\\n\\phi_1 - \\phi_2 - 2\\pi & \\text{for } \\phi_1 - \\phi_2 > \\pi\n\\end{cases}\n$$\n\n(5.3)\n\nsuch that $\\phi_1 \\ominus \\phi_2 \\in S^1$.

The results are significant for sex in informational, $t(94) = 1.04$, $p < .05$, social, $t(94) = 1.45$, $p < .05$, and leisure, $t(94) = 1.34$, $p < .05$, indicating that women bank managers have more informational, less social and lower leisure cyberloafing as compared to men in line with existed literature findings. Men and women also significantly differ in innovative work behavior, $t(94) = 1.11$, $p < .05$, indicating men to score high as compared to women. For public-private banks, the mean of group difference shows significant difference for informational, $t(94) = 1.00$, $p < .05$, social, $t(94) = 1.31$, $p < .05$, and leisure, $t(94) = 1.82$, $p < .05$, indicating public sector bank managers to show more informational and less social and less leisure as compared to private sector bank workers. The results were also significant for innovative work behavior, $t(94) = 1.42$, $p < .05$, which indicates private sector bank workers to be higher on it as compared to public sector bank workers.\n\n### Table 3 Mean and t Values\n\n| Variables | Women=52 | | Men=48 | | | Private=98 | | Public=2 | |\n|----------------|-----------|--------|----------|--------|-------|-----------|---------|----------|-------|\n| | M | SD | M | SD | t | M | SD | M | SD |\n| Informational | 57.77 | 10.95 | 53.73 | 10.54 | 1.04* | 56.07 | 10.76 | 56.13 | 10.37 |\n| Social | 27.81 | 5.46 | 29.94 | 5.31 | 1.45* | 30.13 | 5.48 | 29.36 | 97.80 |\n| Leisure | 4.40 | 3.05 | 5.84 | 3.17 | 1.34* | 5.73 | 3.36 | 4.83 | 3.09 |\n| IWB | 96.31 | 18.60 | 101.01 | 16.70 | 1.11* | 100.31 | 17.52 | 97.80 | 15.27 |\n\nDegree of freedom = 96. *$p < .05$.\n\n### CONCLUSION\n\nDefinitely this study is not without limits, which aims to contribute a unique perspective for practical advice and future research for academicians about the inevitable reality of the working life “cyberloafing”. The main limitation concerns a potential generalization problem of every budget and time limited research that all analysis performed with only 100 sample size despite 300 were mailed. Another limitation is data were based on self-report measures that potential threat to the internal validity of this study’s findings and definitely it is a paradox that while answering the survey, participants were cyberloafing again, according to definition.\n\nLack of between sector comparison is another crucial limitation, other sectors’ work settings might be somewhat different from a bank setting because of working policies (Flynn, 2005; Henle & Blanchard, 2008). Malachowski (2005) indicates that education, insurance, public sector, research and development sectors are more convenient for time-wasting, whereas shipping and receiving, manufacturing, healthcare, finance and banking, marketing, communication sectors are more time-conserving. And also unbalanced participation of the public sector employees another important limitation of the study.\n\nInformational and social cyberloafing are valid predictors of cyberloafing at work in the banking sector, according to the findings. Due to pilot study result 3 questions addressing virtual emotional function (shopping online, play gambling and date online) from scale has been eliminated because of the managers’ feedback since those questions already include illegal actions against a job contract employee has signed."}
