The effects of raters’ characteristics, vehicle classes, and highway classifications on panel ratings are described. Development of the present serviceability index (PSI) models as well as determination of the terminal PSI values for different highway classes in Taiwan also are investigated. Freeways and provincial highways as well as city streets were selected for use in evaluating road serviceability. A rating panel of 20 people rated the selected sections while they were in passenger cars and on buses. Pavement roughness also was measured with the Mays ride meter, and a manual distress survey was conducted to collect the pavement distress data. It is found that raters’ ages did not have a significant effect on the ratings, but factors of raters’ seat location on the bus, driving experience, and gender affected the ratings significantly. Another interesting finding is that raters tended to give lower ratings for freeways and provincial highways than for city streets, even if they were equally rough. Therefore, the terminal PSI of the former (2.1) was higher than that of the latter (1.8). Two PSI models that describe the relationship between panel ratings, pavement distresses, and roadway roughness are established and presented. Due to the large percentage of passengers who travel on buses within the city, a PSI model based on the ratings of city streets by a panel of raters on buses is recommended for the city system, and a PSI model developed from data for ratings of freeways and provincial highways by a panel of raters in passenger cars is recommended for highway systems.

The aim of the study is to reveal the existence of an abnormal return in the city indices in Borsa Istanbul. Three important calculations were made for the detection of an abnormal return. The first was the calculation of adjusted returns. The second was the calculation of beta coefficients for city indices. The third was the determination of the relationship of each city index to the market. According to the findings obtained, there was an abnormal return in the city indices. In other words, each of the city indices made a profit on market returns. However, these returns were almost equal to market returns. When the beta coefficients were analyzed, it was seen that the coefficients were equal to the theoretically-expressed average market beta coefficient. Thus, the city indices and the market are moving in the same direction, and the results are statistically significant.

The existing literature on the evolution of the Antwerp fashion scene is mainly concerned with the development of the Fashion Academy pedagogy from tradition to avant-garde, the role of the famous ‘Antwerp Six’ in putting the city under the international fashion spotlight, and the making of a specific cultural heritage which up to today continues to inspire young fashion designers. However, less has been said about its contribution to the redefinition of gender, and more specifically of masculinity. Consequently, the aim of the article is to contextualize Antwerp as a site for ‘creative resistance’ against the middle-class ideas of fashion, body and identity through the figure of Belgian designer Walter Van Beirendonck, articulating his contribution in deconstructing the normative understanding of the relationship between fashion and masculinity, providing a new metaphor to think about the process of body fashioning in everyday life. Therefore, Van Beirendonck’s creative practices as a sartorial form of resistance against the bourgeois understanding of masculinity and sexuality will be investigated through a qualitative analysis of visual and audio-visual archive materials generously provided by MoMu, the Antwerp fashion museum, showing how his creations are successful in stretching bodily borders and forming non-conventional masculinities. Far from offering an exhaustive overview of the field, the article constitutes a starting point for the understanding of a particular way of seeing the relationship between fashion, body and gender identity in the Antwerp fashion scene. Furthermore, it aims to stress the urgency to analyse the relevance of fashion in tackling issues of masculinity and the clothed body.

Occasionally ear prints are found at crime scenes. The height of the ear imprint may provide the police with information regarding the stature of the perpetrator and may therefore help to narrow down the number of suspects. The research provides calculations for the determination of stature from the height of the tragus imprint found at crime scenes. It takes into account various variables such as age, stature and gender.

The Relationship

The current study investigates the relationship between risky traffic behaviors and traffic sign comprehension (TSC). It is hypothesized that, as traffic sign comprehension increases, unsafe traffic behaviors decrease. The data were collected online through Qualtrics from 275 participants, 177 of whom were drivers. The questionnaire package included 25 open-ended traffic sign questions, Pedestrian Behavior Scale, Mini-Driver Behavior Questionnaire with 3 additional aggressive violation items, and a demographic information form. The results indicated that TSC was significantly related to reported driver errors and lapses after controlling for age and gender. In addition, pedestrian-related TSC was significantly related to reported pedestrian transgressions, lapses, aggressive behaviors, and positive behaviors after controlling for age, gender, driver's license, and driving experience. Generally, the results were consistent with the expectations: the better that road users (drivers and pedestrians) understand traffic signs, the fewer drivers and pedestrians reported unsafe behaviors (errors and lapses for drivers; transgressions, aggressive behaviors, and lapses for pedestrians), and the more pedestrians reported positive behaviors. This finding can be explained by the fact that as the need of people to understand traffic signs increases, they avoid behaviors that will lead to accidents in traffic. For this reason, it can be predicted that comprehensively introducing children to traffic signs from an early age will contribute positively to road safety.

This paper proposes a methodology for managing complex sewerage networks based on the concomitant use of two performance evaluation methods namely (1): the Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) and (2) the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The FMECA is used to determine the risks of structural failures making it possible to establish a methodology for managing these failures. The AHP is used to check the relationship consistency between the performance indicators allowing the determination of the overall performance (OP). This proposed methodology was also utilized for the urban sewerage network of Oued-Kniss in the city of Algiers, Algeria, as part of the efforts engaged for sustainable and efficient management.

<p>This article discusses the settlement of industrial relations disputes and termination of employment according to the applicable laws. Industrial relations disputes can be divided into two types: disputes over rights and disputes over interests. The relationship between workers and employers is a relationship that needs each other; workers need wages, employers benefit. However, in practice there are problems, so employers give Warning Letters I and II which are followed by Termination of Employment (PHK). The process of resolving this problem can be carried out through Bipartite, Mediation, or to the Industrial Relations Court. This paper is written with a normative juridical approach. The results show that the labor-employer problem is getting more complicated since the existence of the Omnibus Law on Job Creation, one of which contains the elimination of the city / district minimum wage (UMK) and replaced with the provincial minimum wage (UMP). The elimination of MSEs results in lower wages for workers. In fact, in the Manpower Act Number 13 of 2003, no worker may receive a wage below the minimum wage, because the determination of wages is based on the calculation of Living Needs.</p><p align="center">[]</p><p><em>Artikel ini membahas mengenai penyelesaian perselisihan hubungan industrial dan pemutusan hubungan kerja menurut perundang-undangan yang berlaku. Perselisihan hubungan industrial menurut jenisnya dapat dibagi menjadi dua: perselisihan hak dan perselisihan kepentingan. Hubungan pekerja dan pengusaha merupakan hubungan yang saling membutuhkan; buruh memerlukan upah, pengusaha mendapatkan keuntungan. Namun, dalam prakteknya terjadi permasalahan, sehingga pengusaha memberikan Surat Peringatan I dan II yang diikuti dengan Pemutusan Hubugan Kerja (PHK). Proses penyelesaian persoalan ini dapat dilakukan melalui Bipartit, Mediasi, atau ke Pengadilan Hubungan Industrial. Tulisan ini ditulis dengan pendekatan yuridis normatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa permasalahan buruh-pengusaha semakin pelik seja hadirnya Undang-Undang Omnibus Law Cipta Lapangan Kerja yang salah satu isinya penghapusan upah minimum kota/kabupaten (UMK) dan diganti dengan upah minimum provinsi (UMP). Penghapusan UMK membuat upah pekerja lebih rendah. Padahal, dalam Undang-Undang Ketenagakerjaan Nomor 13 Tahun 2003 tak boleh ada pekerja yang mendapat upah di bawah upah minimum, karena penetapan upah didasarkan atas perhitungan Kebutuhan Layak Hidup.</em></p>

In this study was to determination of the relationship between situational motivation (SIM), self-talk (ST) and attitude towards physical education (PE) lesson and students' other perceptions (liking level of PE-SEV, the level of importance given to the PE by the student-KVO and the level of perception of the importance given to PE by the family-AVO). Furthermore, it has been done the comparisons in terms of age and gender. A total of 698 secondary school students aged between 11-14 in the study. In the findings, girls obtained higher means for all sub scales of SIM and attitude, while boys obtained higher score for worry dimension only of ST. Girls obtained higher scores for SEV and KVO, whereas boys obtained higher means for AVO. When the age increased, SEV, KVO, AVO, instrinsic motivation-IM, identification regulation-IR and attitude decreased but somatic fatique factor of negative ST increased. SEV, KVO and AVO were positive correlated with the positive dimesions whereas negative correlated with the negative dimensions. IM and IR dimensions were found positive correlated with positive ST dimensions and attitude; but extrinsic motivation and amotivation dimensions were found negative correlated with attitude and, positive correlated with negative ST dimensions.
