Management Guidelines for Better Application ofBusiness Process Management in SAP ERP projects

The SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is a leading software solution for corporate business functions and processes. Business Process Management (BPM) is a management approach designed to create and manage organizations’ business processes. Both promise an improvement of business processes in companies and can be used together in organizations. In conjunction with the SAP ERP system and BPM approach, BPM maturity models can be used as diagnostic tools that allow an organization to assess and monitor the maturity of its business processes. The aim is to investigate and analyse the interaction between the use of the SAP ERP software package and the utilization of BPM. Findings derive from an analysis of eleven semi-structured expert interviews and a validation of the guidelines via an online survey with 151 participants that use SAP, BPM and/or BPM maturity models. This research analyses the complex relationships between SAP, BPM and BPM maturity models and develops management guidelines for improved use of BPM in SAP ERP projects.
Systematic review of variables applied in bankruptcy prediction models of Visegrad group countries

Research background: Since the first bankruptcy prediction models were developed in the 60? s of the 20th century, numerous different models have been constructed all over the world. These individual models of bankruptcy prediction have been developed in different time and space using different methods and variables. Therefore, there is a need to analyse them in the context of various countries, while the question about their suitability arises. Purpose of the article: The analysis of more than 100 bankruptcy prediction models developed in V4 countries confirms that enterprises in each country prefer different explanatory variables. Thus, we aim to review systematically the bankruptcy prediction models developed in the countries of Visegrad four and analyse them, with the emphasis on explanatory variables used in these models, and evaluate them using appropriate statistical methods. Methods: Cluster analysis and correspondence analysis were used to explore the mutual relationships among the selected categories, e.g. clusters of explanatory variables and countries of the Visegrad group. The use of the cluster analysis focuses on the identification of homogenous subgroups of the explanatory variables to sort the variables into clusters, so that the variables within a common cluster are as much similar as possible. The correspondence analysis is used to examine if there is any statistically significant dependence between the monitored factors ? bankruptcy prediction models of Visegrad countries and explanatory variables. Findings & Value added: Based on the statistical analysis applied, we confirmed that each country prefers different explanatory variables for developing the bankruptcy prediction model. The choice of an appropriate and specific variable in a specific country may be very helpful for enterprises, researchers and investors in the process of construction and development of bankruptcy prediction models in conditions of an individual country.
Vision-based Virtual Fixtures Generation for Robotic-Assisted Polyp Dissection Procedures

Polyp dissection requires very accurate detection of the region of interest and high-precision cutting with adequate safety margins. Robot-assisted polyp dissection is a solution to accomplish high-quality intervention. This paper proposes a method to constrain the robot to follow an accurate dissection path based on Virtual Fixtures (VF). The VFs are created via specific control points obtained directly from images of the surgical scene and are updated by the vision algorithm. The VF constraints can autonomously adapt themselves to environment changing during the surgical intervention. The entire pipeline is validated through experiments on the da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK) robot.
An alternative form of the super-Gaussian wind turbine wake model

Abstract. A new analytical wind turbine wake model, based on a super-Gaussian shape function, is presented. The super-Gaussian function evolves from a nearly top-hat shape in the near wake to a Gaussian shape in the far wake, which is consistent with observations and measurements of wind turbine wakes. Using such a shape function allows the recovery of the mass and momentum conservation that is violated when applying a near-wake regularization function to the expression of the maximum velocity deficit of the Gaussian wake model. After a brief introduction of the theoretical aspects, an easy-to-implement model with a limited number of parameters is derived. The super-Gaussian model predictions are compared to wind tunnel measurements, full-scale measurements, and a large-eddy simulation (LES), showing a good agreement and an improvement compared with predictions based on the Gaussian model.
DOES OPEN-PLAN OFFICE ENVIRONMENT SUPPORT CREATIVITY? THE MEDIATING ROLE OF ACTIVATED POSITIVE MOOD

This study examines how perceived physical office environment features affect occupants’ creativity through positive moods. Based on a sample of 181 occupants in open-plan offices, we found that perceived spatial organization features had a positive relationship with occupants’ self-assessed creativity, and this relationship is mediated by positive moods. Although perceived architectonic details of the physical work environment do not have a direct effect on occupants’ creativity, there is also a mediating effect through positive moods. A further examination revealed that activated positive mood significantly mediates the relationship between both physical work environment features and occupants’ creativity, whereas deactivated positive mood was not significant as a mediator. When occupants perceived the physical work environment to be supportive in providing various workspaces and is well decorated, it is most likely to enhance creativity.
Audit Quality and the Effect of the Banking Sector CEO Skill in Eurozone

This study attempts to examine whether the Eurozone banks alter their behavior, by accompanying a change to a better skilled CEO with a move to industry expert auditors, therefore increasing the level of quality for the auditing services received. For the analysis performed we use a sample comprised of Eurozone banks for a period of eight years (2009 2016). For our estimation we incorporate auditor expertise, as an audit quality determinant, audit opinion, director’s skill and a series of proxies to control for the effect on auditor's expression. The findings suggest that banks alter their behavior regarding auditor choice after a bank’s CEO is being replaced with one presenting a higher level of director skill. More specifically, in these cases eurozone banks, shift towards auditors specialised in the banking industry, increasing the quality of auditing services received, but only if they operate in a country facing fiscal sustainability issues. This study attempts to provide useful insights to the auditing profession, regulators and standard setters, with respect to audit quality differentiation in a sector that constitutes a crucial component of the modern economic structure.
Expression levels of caspase-3 in EBV positive and negative Hodgkin Lymphoma patients

Background: Many studies indicated that caspase-3 is overexpressed in Hodgkin Lymphoma. This study was aimed to investigate gene expression of caspase-3 in peripheral blood of EBV positive and negative HL patients. Methods: Blood samples were collected from two groups; the first group was 61 Hodgkin Lymphoma patients and the second group was 36 healthy individuals as a control group. Conventional PCR used to detect EBV in Hodgkin Lymphoma patients, RT-PCR used to evaluate expression of caspase-3. Results; Data from current study showed that 26 patients were EBV positive (42.6 %). Also, caspase-3 was expressed in HL significantly more than control group (P=0.001), Statistical analysis revealed that the difference in gene expression of caspase-3 between EBV positive and EBV negative cases, although high, was statistically insignificant (P= 0.942). Conclusion: Caspase-3 were over expressed in Hodgkin Lymphoma patients, however, caspase-3 was lower in EBV positive than EBV negative Hodgkin Lymphoma.
Technical Note: Improved sampling of behavioral subsurface flow model parameters using active subspaces

Abstract. In global sensitivity analysis and ensemble-based model calibration, it is essential to create a large enough sample of model simulations with different parameters that all yield plausible model results. This can be difficult if a priori plausible parameter combinations frequently yield non-behavioral model results. In a previous study (Erdal and Cirpka, 2019), we developed and tested a parameter-sampling scheme based on active-subspace decomposition. While in principle this scheme worked well, it still implied testing a substantial fraction of parameter combinations that ultimately had to be discarded because of implausible model results. This technical note presents an improved sampling scheme and illustrates its simplicity and efficiency by a small test case. The new sampling scheme can be tuned to either outperform the original implementation by improving the sampling efficiency while maintaining the accuracy of the result or by improving the accuracy of the result while maintaining the sampling efficiency.
A Compliance Evaluation of a Wearable Technology for Posture Ergonomics

Objectives: The prevalence of back and neck complaints resulting from poor posture is high, and the rate of posture related back pain and healthcare costs have been increasing rapidly with the widespread use of smartphones, computers, and work-related risks. Compliance with traditional back braces and other solutions for treating this pain is low, which affects patients’ ability to perform and recover. The objective of the current study is to determine subjective compliance of an innovative posture wearable technology. Methods: 128 Volunteers underwent subjective evaluation after wearing the FDA registered IFGfit wearable technology. After trying on the apparel, they were asked to complete a subjective questionnaire, which included questions on demographic information, back or neck complaints prior to wearing the garment, history of physical therapy, comfort level and perceived posture improvement while and after wearing the shirt. Results: The comfort level survey results showed that 93 percent of the sample, (n=111), reported a comfort level rating of good or excellent while wearing the garment, and that 88 percent of participants, (n=108), reported that their posture had improved very much or quite a bit after wearing the apparel. Exploratory analyses showed that previous level of back pain and comfort level were not correlated, rs (126)=. 133, p=. 134, nor was there a correlation between previous back, neck and shoulder pain and perceived posture improvement level, rs(126)=. 092, p=. 304. Conclusion: Over 90% of participants reported high comfort levels and an improvement in their posture after taking it off. The positive user response suggests that this apparel technology has the potential to alleviate and prevent posture related back pain on a large scale with high patient compliance.
Enhanced Capabilities through Design-Based Approaches

Design Thinking is often referred to as a valuable addition for educational models to promote a way of learning that encourages collaborations with people who work, think and act differently. Despite being used in multiple situations and described by numerous lists with characteristics, little is known about how it could affect people’s lives beyond the professional environment. The Capability Approach was used as an inspiration to explore with designers how it has influenced their lives through an interactive installation and in-depth interviews. Respondents reported better imagination, reasoning, thinking, using of skills and talents, freedom of expression, and ability to imagine another’s situation as a result of their designerly attitude. It is argued that integrating design thinking in educational models potentially transforms how people interact in society.
Prospects for developing an early maturing variety of Winged Bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) in Bogor, Indonesia

Abstract. Eagleton GE. 2019. Prospects for developing an early maturing variety of Winged Bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) in Bogor, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 20: 3142-3152. To investigate the possibility of producing a more convenient, early-maturing cultivar of winged bean for vegetable growers in West Java, an early flowering accession introduced from Singapore Botanic Gardens (‘Singha’, the female parent) was crossed with a vegetatively vigorous, late-maturing, local winged bean accession (‘Bogor’, the male parent). The phenology and general performance of plants of the parental accessions and of their F1 and F2 hybrid generations were compared in the plant nursery of the Bogor Botanic Gardens (6036’ S, 106048’ E) in three successive experiments over ten months. In each of the three experimental plantings, the mean number of days to first open flower for the Bogor variety (B) was more than 40 days later than for the Singha variety (S). There was no significant difference in the average number of days to first open flower between F1 plants (S x B) and Singha plants in the first two experiments, but in the third experiment the F1 plants flowered 23 days later than the Singha parent. The phenological development of all genotypes, but especially the Bogor variety, appeared to be retarded by long daylengths. Out of nineteen F2 plants included in the third experiment, six flowered at least as early as the average of the early flowering Singha parent, nine overlapped the distribution for the F1 plants, while only two were as late as the Bogor parent. It was inferred that flowering time in this particular cross was influenced as much by dominance effects as by additive genetic effects, with early flowering dominant to late flowering. Plants in the first two experiments were severely affected by collar-rot disease with no difference between genotypes. In the third experiment, planted in a potting-mix in poly-bags that avoided the collar-rot, all plants of the Singha and most plants of the F1 and F2 generations became infected by false-rust disease Synchytrium psophocarpi (Rac.) Baumann, whereas none of the Bogor plants exhibited symptoms of false-rust. The results support the finding in a previous study by Aminah-Lubis and Sastrapradja (1981) that the resistance to false rust disease found in Bogor winged bean varieties is conferred by genes that are recessive to genes conferring susceptibility to the disease. This investigation has implications for breeding improved varieties of vegetable winged bean and for understanding the evolution of winged bean as a crop.

Department of Breast Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province 450052, China Introduction: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key regulators in multiple cancers. lncRNA, SNHG1, was shown to be associated with tumorigenesis. However, little is known about the role SNHG1 plays in breast cancer. The aim of the study was to study the role and underlying mechanism of SNHG1 regulation in breast cancer. Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the levels of SNHG1, miR-382 and ZEB1 levels in breast cancer tissue or cells. The proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion of breast cancer cells, under SNHG1 knockdown achieved by transfection of SNHG1specific siRNAs, were assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8, colony forming, scratch wound and transwell assays. Bioinformatical analysis and luciferase assay were used to explore the interaction between SNHG1 and its potential miRNA target. Western blot was used to evaluate the expression of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers. MDA-MB-231 cells with or without SNHG1 knockdown were used to initiate tumor xenografts in vivo. Tumor growth and expression of SNHG1, miR-382-5p and EMT markers were evaluated. Results: SNHG1 upregulation was observed in breast cancer tissues and cells. Knockdown of SNHG1 attenuated breast cancer proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion. A miRNA, miR-382-5p, was identified as the target of SNHG1. A reciprocal negative regulation was found between SNHG1 and miR-382-5p. SNHG1 knockdown attenuated EMT both in vitro and in vivo. miR-382-5p transfection reversed the tumor-promoting role by SNHG1. In vivo, SNHG1 knockdown decreased breast tumor growth. Conclusion: SNHG1 promotes breast cancer through the regulation of miR-382-5p and EMT markers. Our results report SNHG1 as a novel miRNA that govern the progression of breast cancer, providing a potential new therapeutic target in breast cancer.
Why We Have to Develop Instruments of Our Caring Measurement Based on an Indonesian Perspective

Introduction: Caring is the core or focus in nursing as a form of professional nursing practice. The current caring instrument is an original instrument that measures the attitudes or behavior of nurses, has not paid attention to the administrative and environmental aspects of the hospital. The use of an instrument that does not yet contain certain characteristics gives rise to improper measurement results. The purpose of this study was to explain the importance of developing caring measurement instruments with an Indonesian perspective. Methods: Systematic reviews were carried out from database articles on ScienceDirect, Scopus, Google Scholar, SpringerLink, Wiley online, Proquest, and EBSCOhost. Criteria for articles were articles published in the last 10 years, national and international research locations, and in Indonesian and English. 15 references were obtained from 2100 references that met the predetermined criteria. The development of a caring behavior instrument based on an Indonesian perspective does not yet exist. Results: The results found that development on the basis of linguistics, cultural adjustment, and according to the prevalence of disease in a country because the epidemiology of the disease differs on the climate region. Conclusion: Specific caring instruments in an Indonesian perspective is expected that the research results will be more accurate.

Isolation of lactic acid bacteria with probiotic potential from bovine colostrum in livestock farms of Ramian Township in located in the north of Iran

Antibacterial activity against gastrointestinal bacteria, tolerance to acidic conditions and bile salts are the main indicators of probiotics. The aim of this study was isolation of lactic acid bacteria with probiotic potential of bovine colostrum. Colostrum samples were cultured on selective culture. Identification of lactic acid bacteria carried out by biochemical tests of fermentation of sugars, growth at 10 and 45°C and 6.5% salt. Antagonistic effect of culture supernatant of isolates against native isolates S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, B. cereus and standard strains E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. dysentriae, S. aureus, B. cereus and E. faecalis carried out by well method and tolerance of isolates to acidic conditions and bile salts were evaluated. L. plantarum was the most species of isolated lactic acid bacteria (36.32%). Culture supernatant of L. plantarum more than other isolates was showed antibacterial activity. None of the isolates were able to grow at pH 2, but L. plantarum, L. casei, L. acidophilus, S. thermophilus and E. faecalis were able to tolerate pH of 3. Also, L. plantarum, L. casei, E. faecalis and E. faecium were able to grow in presence of 0.3 and 1% bile salt. Colostrum as a traditional dairy food can be considered as a very suitable reservoir for isolation of lactic acid bacteria with probiotic potential. Due to significant antibacterial activity of L. plantarum and the ability to grow in acidic condition and various concentrations of bile salts, probiotic potential of this isolate was evaluated as desirable.

In the mature birds, there was a decrease in both heterophils, H / L ratio, total cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose when compared to immature birds. The conclusion from this study there is differences in blood parameters in collared dove pigeons according to the age advanced.
Novel single layer fault tolerance RCA construction for QCA technology

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) technology has become a promising and accessible candidate that can be used for digital circuits implementation at Nanoscale, but the circuit design in the QCA technology has been limited due to fabrication high-defect rate. So, this issue is an interesting research topic in the QCA circuits design. In this study, a novel 3-input Fault Tolerance (FT) Majority Gate (MG) is developed. Accordingly, an efficient 1-bit QCA full adder is developed using the developed 3-input MG. Then, a new 4-bit FT QCA Ripple Carry Adder (RCA) is developed based on the proposed 1-bit FT QCA FA. The developed circuits are implemented in the QCA Designer tool version 2.0. 3. The results indicate that the developed QCA circuits provide advantages compared to other QCA circuits in terms of double and single cell missing defect, area and delay time.
