The present study aims at considering the linguistic influence of official standard Persian language on idiom comprehension focusing on parts of body comprehension of Kurdish EFL learners. Iranian Kurds have studied in schools in which the language spoken or written has been different from their mother tongue. The present study is based on data from 92 EFL learners whom Kurdish is their first language and Persian is their second language. The participants were females and males studying English as a foreign language at two universities; Azad and Kurdistan universities of Sanandaj in Iran. They were exposed to three idiom tests and a questionnaire. English language proficiency, educational background, gender, age and type of university were controlled. They outperformed their second language idioms. The findings show that transfer from L1 was not always dominant in non-native comprehension due to lack of academic instruction of L1. The role of exposure and academic instruction as factors were found to affect transfer from L2 in L3 comprehension while participants were more exposed to L2 at school and via media. The study confirmed our assumption that Kurd learners’ L2 has a significant role in transfer of concepts to L3.

In connection with the growing anthropogenic impact the protection of environment became\nthe global issue. The portion to the environmental pollution made by the mining industry is significant.\nIn conditions of mountainous relief the problem is aggravated even more because of limitedness and\nclosure of space. The factors, which influence the state of environment, under the conditions of\nhighland region bear priority nature because of the special signs of topographical, territorial and\ngeographical plan.\nIt is also necessary to note that practically all forms of natural phenomena and processes of\ngeological, hydrogeological and meteorological nature are the sources of risks. Earthquakes are some\nof the most dangerous natural phenomena under the conditions of mountainous relief.\nThe territory of North Ossetia is located in the zone of high seismicity and it is characterized by\nthe greatest seismic risk, since in conditions of high seismic hazard there is the greatest density of\npopulation in North Caucasus.According to the maps of seismic hazard in the territory of republic for\nthe important objects, such as the tailings dumps, entire southern part of the republic is located in the\nlimits of 9 MSK intensity [Zaalishvili et al., 2007, Zaalishvili, 2012b]. In the case of\nearthquakes with intensity of 5 points the site, folded by some type of soil and occupied by tailings\ndump (wastes of mining industry), will be under active impact. The natural volume of the waste,\nwhich contains heavy metals and their salts, frequently irrigated deformed by waves, will obviously\nnoticeably change under the moderate seismic influences, accelerating the leaching of minerals. This\nwill increase the volume of toxic substances penetration into the soil, which will enlarge the area of\npollution. Toxic substances temporarily “preserved” in the bottom deposits, for example river Ardon,\nwill increase the pollution of territory more even though the river flow will take away large part of\nwaste in the estuary.\nTo assess the pollution of the territory as closely related parameter, the development of\nneoplasm among the inhabitants of the urbanized mountain territory on the example of Vladikavkaz\ncity was investigated. Morbidity was studied depending on the distance from the metallurgical\nenterprises and tailings dumps, located in the northeastern part of the city.

Enterprises struggled with fluctations in market conditions and increased uncertainty due to the globalization process. Shorter product life cycles, changing and increased customer expectations and technological developments in particular have affected manufacturing firms. Correspondingly, technological development and machine and equipment selection are major issues that affects firms’ performance and efficiency. In this study, a manufacturing firm’s cutting-machine selection problem is solved using combined fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy MOORA techniques. The aim of this study is to provide decision support for managers regarding the selection problem. The cutting-machine selection criteria were determined by considering the related literature, and also by consulting the company managers. After that, selected criteria weights were determined by fuzzy AHP and ranking cutting machine alternatives by fuzzy MOORA method. The study makes a recommendation for the most suitable cutting machine for the firm.

This study describes the impact of women entrepreneurship on social capital in their livelihood. The research was conducted on 300 women entrepreneurs in Mymensingh, Bangladesh. The Data was analyzed using ordered probit regression analysis. The following research variables; Contact with other entrepreneurs, leadership in NGOs group meeting, participation in social gathering, political consciousness, water and sanitation were highly and positively associated at (p<.01) with social capital while working experience was at (p<.05) positive and significantly associated with social capital, and changes in Basic needs at (p<.10) also significantly co-efficient with social capital. Among all entrepreneurships, livestock and poultry entrepreneurship is positive and significantly (p<.10) associated with social capital. This implies that livestock and poultry entrepreneurship play significant role in increasing social capital of poor women in rural area of Bangladesh. Whereas formal education and training on different entrepreneurship activities are positive co-efficient with social capital, it’s not significant, hence we can conclude that in rural areas women are not highly educated and they don’t acquire sufficient training facilities due to lack of institutional support.

Modern DSP systems are often well suited to VLSI implementation. Indeed, they are economically viable only if implemented using VLSI technologies. It has significant industrial and commercial relevance. Many DSP systems are produced in very large numbers and require high performance. It is easy to implement FIR filters but has more hardware complexity due to the use of multipliers in the circuit. In this paper, the design of a multiplierless fixed point FIR filter is presented. By restricting the multipliers, achieve a low power and less area requirements. The response of the filter is also accurate. An efficient multiplierless fixed point FIR filter can be designed by Shift Add architecture. Further the area and power reduced by using the Common Subexpression Elimination (CSE) and Level Constrained Common Subexpression Elimination (LCCSE) methods. In this architecture, existing all multipliers replaced by a single block in which shifting and adding operations are performed. In this paper deals, by using navel shift-add architecture, hardware complexity and power consumption is reduced.

In all cases there was a significant difference (Tukey p>0.05).

The aim of this study is to investigate if and how mega sport organizations like \nthe Olympics contribute to the countries’ economies as well as its citizens’ welfare through tourism. The World Bank relevant economic data set from 1990-2012 was used for the study. Australia, Greece and China’s tourism and national income figures analyzed by using Multiple Linear Regression Model. The Eviews8 program was used for the Chow Breakpoint Test. In addition Percentage Trend Analysis was applied to the whole data. According to our study, when Australia, Greece and China examples taking into account the Olympics have no positive or negative structural breakpoint effect on \nthese countries’ economic development and welfare. Even though one structural \nbreakpoint for Australia (Number of Tourists) and two for China (Number of Tourists and Tourism Revenue) were detected, they were not powerful enough to change the structure of the countries’ economic size (GDP) and welfare (GDP PC). It is very important for countries to have enough economic power to host the Olympics or similar \nmega events. The view that mega organizations such as the Olympics will bring automatic and positive results every time and therefore permanent contribution to the economy through image rise and tourism, must be checked and rechecked. Hosting the Olympics requires short and long term plans, calculations and feasibilities. How the \nrapidly changing technologies and transportation means will affect people and their travel preferences are very critical subjects to ponder upon.

In modern business, satisfaction is connected with the consumers\' effort to achieve content by using goods and services in any sector. Telecommunication sector has marked continuous growth in the last ten years. This is especially true in the field of mobile telephony. The purpose of this paper is to examine the level of satisfaction of the users with the service quality they are offered by mobile operators, and thus to give recommendations for improving this very important industrial area. The methodology of Servqual model was used for that purpose. Key results of the research lead to the conclusion that if mobile operators offer service with the least difference between delivered and what was promised to the customer, the positive effects will be multiplied. Achieved results have significant implications for mobile operators so that they could improve the service quality by adjusting it to the customers\' expectations, with the aim to ensure satisfaction and loyalty. Among multiple social implications of the research, the key ones are with regards to strengthening awareness on the users\' attitudes and their \"power\" in the modern society, which should bring to the increase of the quality of life. Special value of the subject research reflects in the fact that such types of research have been vaguely represented at the market in Montenegro, also in the form of the questionnaire which was especially created for the purpose of this research.

A graphoidal cover of a graph $G$ is a collection $\\psi$ of (not necessarily open) paths in $G$ such that every path in $\\psi$ has at least two vertices, every vertex of $G$ is an internal vertex of at most one path in $\\psi$, every edge of $G$ is in exactly one path in $\\psi$. The minimum cardinality of a graphoidal cover of $G$ is called the graphoidal covering number of $G$ and is denoted by $\\eta(G)$ or $\\eta$. In this paper, we have obtained the graphoidal covering number for the class of graphs $G \\not \\in \\mathcal{F}$ through their edge connectivity.

In this paper we define derived sequences and for a real number x and a real sequence sigma which allow us to\n decide when x shall be ``near\'\' sigma or `` far from\'\'sigma.\n In this setting the concepts `` somewhat near sigma\'\' and `` somewhat\n far from sigma\'\' are naturally\n definable and seen to be non-naturally\n exclusive.\n Building on these\n observations several results are proved as theorems and\n propositions, while in a section of remarks and examples an outline of an\n alternative analysis is sketched in order to provide the reader\n better insight into the intuitive meaning of the ideas developed\n here. The squared Riemann-zeta function is observed to be related\n to the sequence of prime in this setting as well.

ABSTRACT: The current diagnosis of HCV infection includes serological assays and nucleic acid amplification technology (NAT) for assessing serum anti-HCV antibody and HCV viremia, respectively. The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic potential of HCV-NS4 in comparison with polymerase chain reaction. HCV-NS4 antigen was detected in 300 Egyptian serum samples of patients with different liver pathology. In addition to serum samples from 50 asymptomatic individuals and serum samples from 50 healthy individuals as a normal control. Areas under the ROC curves (AUC) were used to assess and com pare diagnostic accuracy of ELISA for HCV-N S4 with quantitative HCV-RNA as a gold standard. The positive rate of HCV-NS4 antigen was 32% (16/50) in 50 asymptomatic individuals, 78% (156/200) in 200 patients with liver fibrosis, 80% (40/50) in 50 patients with liver cirrhosis and 82% (41/50) in 50 patients with HCC. Using healthy individuals, the specificity of the HCV-N S4 antigen was 100 %. The area under ROC curve of HCV-NS4 antigen for discriminating patients with different liver pathology from those healthy individuals was 0.89 and (P < 0.0001). In conclusion, the HCV-NS4 antigen detection method could be done in routine laboratories without the need for special equipment or training.

In the context of globalization of the modern world one of the main \nobjectives of human society is promoting of spiritual dialogue and \nunderstanding. Unfortunately, all around the world we can see evidence of \nthe rise of religious intolerance. In these circumstances, it is important to \ndevelop a variety of coping mechanisms to overcome the crisis. Being a \nhumanitarian science, linguistics should not remain aloof from this global \nproblem and must contribute to addressing this issue. \n \nIn this article we have attempted to show how biblical texts are reflected in \nthe phraseology of the Azerbaijani language. The latter belongs to the \nTurkic group of languages and its native speakers are mostly Muslims. We \nfound over 100 examples of variations of biblical quotes in Azeri language \nand literature, which is an indicator of assimilation of Christian values in \nAzerbaijani culture. \n \nFor example, Azeri proverb \"Allah ürəyincə versin!\" is a direct translation \nfrom the Psalms of the Old Testament: «May God give thee according to \nthy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.\" \n(Psalms 19:5). \n \nThe presence of biblical phraseology in the Azerbaijani language underlines \nour argument in favor of dialogue and mutual understanding between the \npeople of different religions and cultures.

In this paper, a new optimal family of iterative methods with sixteenth-order of convergence for solving nonlinear equations is presented and analysed. This new family of iterative methods is obtained in two stages. The first stage is obtained by composing the optimal fourth-order family of iterative methods proposed by King, 1973, with the classical Newton’s method and then approximating the first-appeared derivative in the last step with a new estimation built on a combination of already evaluated function values. This procedure yields a new eighth-order optimal family of iterative methods. The second stage of our derivation is built on composing the obtained family of iterative methods of eighth-order of convergence with the classical Newton’s method again and then approximating the first-appeared derivative in the last step of the resulting family by a new estimation using combination of already evaluated function values. The convergence analyses of both of the new developed families are studied in this paper. To illustrate our theoretical results and to illustrate the efficiency and the accuracy of our new developed families of optimal iterative methods, limited numbers of numerical examples are calculated and compared with the existing methods.

This paper aims to demonstrate and evaluate perceptions of internal auditors towards the Institute of Internal Auditors’ (IIA) standards, and to indicate the relationship between perceived standards that influence the quality of internal audit in Albania’s banking industry. In order to achieve these objectives, a questionnaire was prepared and distributed to internal auditors actively working in the banking industry. The statements of questionnaire were based on the IIA’s standards. The use of these standards is essential for industry because they are recommended by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision for providing a strong internal audit function within the banking organizations. It is concluded that the internal auditors comply with the principles defined in the standards, considering these principles necessary for the quality of the internal audit. This research presents very positive internal auditors’ perceptions on the attribute standards and performance standards respectively (4.42) and (4.41), besides, there are moderate positive relations between perceptions of performance and attribute standards and internal audit quality. Lastly, to explore whether there are any significant differences or not between the demographic components; gender, experience and perceptions of the attribute and performance standards, Independent t-test and ANOVA have been applied. According to results of the t-tests (used for gender) and ANOVA (used for work experience) there are not any perception differences on the attribute and performance standards by gender and work experience of the respondents.

The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of men who have sex with men (MSM) about STDs and the sources, reliability and accuracy of that knowledge, furthermore, to determine the frequency of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis and HIV infections. A questionnaire was prepared to know socio-demographic characteristics, their medical situation, and knowledge about prevention from STDs. Blood samples were obtained for serological tests. Ninety four MSM filled the questionnaire and also, 39 of them were screened to STDs. Mean age was 23.3 ± 4.6 years. High school or university graduates were 72.6% and 29.4% did not have a health insurance. Cigarette, alcohol, heroin and cocaine usage were 62.8%, 46.8%, 10.6% and 1.1% respectively. In the last year, 23.4% had multiple sexual partners. Majority of subjects were aware of transmission of HIV/AIDS by sexual intercourse (88.3%) and blood or blood products (77.7%). Subjects with 69.1% had history of unprotected sex. Major source of their awareness was from internet or other media. One of them was anti-HIV positive. An education program was commenced in small groups.\nThis is a basic study on homosexual groups, summarizing their problem and risks in Kayseri at the Center of Turkey.

This paper presents a residual DCT matrix based MPEG-2 to H.264/AVC inter transcoding algorithm to meet the requirements of real-time transcoding in some special environments such as streaming media. In the proposed inter transcoding algorithm, the re-encoding mode is decided by the edge character of the residual DCT matrix, and the selection of search center and search range in the H.264 motion estimation process is based on the re-encoding mode. Experimental results show that the proposed method reduces about 2/3 calculation complexity with the cost of 5.7% bit-rate increase and 0.08dB PSNR decrease. The most important point is that there are not any preset or posterior parameters, which is especially useful for real-time transcoding.

Purpose: Q-angle measurement procedure have not been well standardised. There is a lack\nof consensus about subject position and knee flexion angle while measuring the Q-angle.\nMorover Q-angle value which obtained in a single position is a static value and gives an\ninformation about the subject’s current position. The aim of this study is to obtain a more\nsignificant parameter which includes different postures (supine, standing, sitting) and\ndifferent knee flexion angles instead of a single Q-angle in a fixed position. At the same time\nthis parameter must be functional and dynamic,not a static value like Q-angle. We named this\nparameter as ΔQ.\nMethods: Our study was applied on case and control groups. All subjects in both groups\nwere male. Case group was consisted of 14 subjects who had patellofemoral pain. Control\ngroup was consisted of 14 subjects who had normal knees and normal lower extremities with\nno reported knee problems. We obtained 3 different Q-angle values and 3 different ΔQ values\nfor each subject in both groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used for investigation of\ncontinuous variables in normal distribution, Spearman correlation analysis was used in\nabnormal distribution. t test was used in the comparison of values. Logistic regression\nanalysis(forward conditional mod) was used for detecting of determinants of pain.\nResults: ΔQ1s of both groups were found as the only statistical significant predictive value\nfor patellofemoral pain.\nConclusion: There is not an agreement about a standardised q-angle measurement\nprocedure in the literature. Moreover,present procedures provide information about a single\nand fixed position. In this situation Q-angles which obtained in these fixed positions are static\nvalues. We think that we can overcome these problems with this new value. ΔQ contains\nmultiple q-angles and gives information about all. Also it is a dynamic value for being\noriented to position change. ΔQ is an useful indicator for evaluating patellofemoral pain.

In order to study the amount of bandwidth resource loss caused by flash P2P technique, its influence on network load and its maintenance cost, the characteristic of Internet traffic of flash P2P is studied. On the basis of analysis of features of RTMFP protocol, the traffic of flash P2P can be identified from the Internet traffic. By extraction and analysis of the traffic of the three largest online video content providers in China (YouKu, Iqyi and Sohu Video) and the calculation of probability distribution of the traffic, it is found that the transmission time of flash P2P traffic and the transmission time interval obeys the heavy-tailed distribution. This accounts for the self-similarity of the flash P2P traffic. To better explain the phenomenon, the long-range dependent model is established based on the current traffic. By the established mathematical model, it is strictly proved that flash P2P traffic has self-similar characteristic.

Water resources are precious for human survival, ecological sustainability, environmental maintenance and for economic development. Understanding the status and efficiency of water resource utilization is crucial for the effective water resources management. Variable Fuzzy Set Method (VFSM) was used in this research to conduct a water resources utilization efficiency assessment; the case study was from the Yinchuan Plain, in northwestern China. The VFSM study found that the Yinchuan Plain water utilization efficiency (WUE) was poor level in 2000, and at a medium level in 2011; these findings were consistent with the actual ground conditions. The study concludes that VFSM is a useful tool for analyzing complex and comprehensive water resource problems, and that various influencing factors can be considered in the assessment system.

It is commonly assumed that MNCs should be equally socially responsible in both their home country and host counties. However, based on the cases of Chinese market, the paper finds that the CSR performance of MNCs in the host country may differ from that in their home countries. The main reasons for the differences include their internal cost pressure, difficulty in internal control, defects in governmental supervision, and differences in legal or cultural environment, etc. It is thus suggested that countermeasures should be taken to handle the issue effectively, such as perfecting related regulations, establishing mechanisms for international cooperation, enhancing supervision and law enforcement, as well as strengthening media transparency.

Road roughness is a broad term that incorporates everything from potholes and cracks to the random deviations that exist in a profile. To build a roughness index, road irregularities need to be measured first. Existing methods of gauging the roughness are based either on visual inspections or using one of a limited number of instrumented vehicles that can take physical measurements of the road irregularities. This paper presents used a quarter car model (passive suspension System in 206 Peugeot) in according road classification ISO 2631-1 is achieved road roughness interval in form of optimization method Gamma(4p) distribution as PSD function in constant speed of car 100 Km/h by using MATLAB Code. Then, frequency response of the pitman arm in a car moving has been analysed, its critical points determined to calculate the fatigue life of the part, and the amount of critical stress at the corner of connection between triangular suspension’s arm and pitman arm obtained based on von Misses criterion (348MPa). Finally, using finite element software, fatigue life of the pitman arm evaluated based on three methods of calculation (Dirlik, narrow-band, and a combination of both of them) in terms of the kilometres of the car travelled, and fatigue life of the part has been estimated in about 93000 km according to the conditions of applied load.

In this study overwintering sites of ladybeetls (Col.: Coccinellidae) was studied during 2010 in Mehriz district (Yazd province, Iran). Adult specimens were collected by hand using screwdriver underneath the bark of old trees. Adults of some coccinellid species overwinter in aggregations consisting of many individuals. Many of the ladybirds overwinter in a group, as they may be attracted to a particular environmental stimulus or of an innate tendency to join conspecific individuals. Overwintering ladybirds were found on tree trunks at different altitudes ranging from 1420-1520 m. Samples were collected from four different locations. The specimens were identified based on their morphological appearance and characteristics of genitalia using valid keys. In this study, a total of six species were identified belonging to five genera, three tribe and three subfamilies of ladybirds. Among them two species were recorded from Yazd province for the first time (marked *). The species identified are as follows: \n1. Hippodamia (Adonia) variegata (Goeze)\n2. Adalia bipunctata (Linnaeus)\n3. Oenopia conglobata contaminata (Menetriés)\n4. Scymnus (Pullus) syriacus (Marsh.)\n5. Brumus gebleri (Weise, 1878)*\n6. Brumus undulatus (Weise, 1878) *

The ways of management and leadership are dependent on values governing the essence of a society. Thus, getting to know the essence of the elements organizing a society calls for a specific way of management.

The architectural elements of the space, the combination of lines, colors and shapes, shadows and light and volumes are repetition comes to life that is the essence of architectural spaces. While the cinema by combining elements such as color, light, perspective and scene, editing and sound, In order to establish a solid relationship with your audience and to facilitate their intellectual journey, makes the atmosphere for the movie. The architecture provides a space object, and the film director reaches its target by general mental atmosphere. At architecture, Man is inscribed in space. In the cinema, the audience is confronted by such a movie scene that mental conditions of watching movies lead them into nested layers. In other words, cinema resembles a window and architecture that where the window is located. The art of cinema as a major factor in creating balance and harmony in the form of images and the composition becomes raised, and can reinforce the meaning of directors. The purpose of this paper is to identify the place in architecture and film together. Thus, the interaction of architecture and cinema, and their criteria will be expressed. Finally, it is concluded that the importance of architecture and film, these can be used as a single source for identifying space can be used to sense each other.

It is well known that short run cost functions of firms are convex func-\ntions when production functions are concave. Average cost minimization prob-\nlems have been studied in the literature. However, it seems that less attention\nso far has been paid to properties of the average cost functions and numerical methods for solving the average cost minimization problem. Aim of this paper is to fulfill\nthis gap. First, we show that average cost functions are pseudoconvex. Second,\nwe develop an algorithm for solving the average cost minimization problem. We\nimplement the algorithm in the case of some companies of Mongolia.

Transverse vibration of an axially moving fluid arising in the bubbfil spinning (e.g. bubble electrospinning and modifications) and the stuffer box crimping is studied. By the Hamilton’s principle, governing differential equations for an axially moving slender fiber of viscoelastic fluid is obtained. The velocity of the axial motion affects greatly the natural frequencies of transverse vibration. If transverse vibration occurs just before fiber’s solidification, a crimped fiber can be obtained, and the crimped frequency can be adjusted by the velocity of axial motion.
