CO-BRANDING ONLINE FOOD DELIVERY: PERUBAHAN MODEL BISNIS WISATA KULINER LOKAL KHAS YOGYAKARTA

The aim of this research is examining the implementation of co-branding by the food delivery service and its influence on the local culinary tourism business model of Yogyakarta. This research uses qualitative research with an exploratory study. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews with 13 owners of Yogyakarta’s local culinary. The results showed that co-branding was carried out jointly with GoFoodPartner, but if it was not incorporated into GoFoodPartner co-branding was carried out directly between GoFood and the culinary business management. As for GrabFood, co-branding is done partially to businesses that are not part of their official cooperation partners. The culinary tourism business model has been changing by online food delivery service providers. The change is they have not only done business to consumer (B2C) but then also develop its business model into Business to Business (B2B) and Business to Business to Consumer (B2B2C). It changes the business model of culinary tourism developed into a food tourism business model.

Model bisnis wisata kuliner yang dilakukan terdapat perubahan dengan adanya layanan online food delivery. Perubahan tersebut terdapat pada tidak hanya business to consumer (B2C), akan tetapi model bisnisnya berkembang juga menjadi Business to Business (B2B) dan Business to Business to Consumer (B2B2C). Perubahan model bisnis tersebut mendorong perkembangan model bisnis culinary tourism menjadi model bisnis food tourism.
Detection of OSAHS using only time-domain property of snoring signal

Polysomnography (PSG) is the standard method for obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) diagnosis in medical, but the shortcomings in it have pushed many researchers to find a more convenient and effective way to detect OSAHS. With this purpose, a new technique for OSAHS assessment is proposed in this paper. It combined the properties of respiratory events with an ingenious dynamic threshold endpoint detection method to realize the automatic detection of respiratory events, and then obtained the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) to determine the patient's condition. The method was evaluated on the whole night snoring signal of 34 patients. Compared the results with those monitored by PSG, it has shown that the accuracy of this method can reach above 90%, at the same time, it has the advantages in low cost, high speed, easy to operate and so on.
Neurocode-Tracking Based on Quantitative Fast Dynamic EEG Recording in Combination with Eye-Tracking

Information processing within the brain relies on electro-chemical features. Electric events are accessible by recording of the EEG. These electric oscillations might be regarded as a neuronal code carrying information on important motor, cognitive and emotional events. A new approach of quantitative assessment of very short time epochs of 364 ms has been developed on the base of particularly defined frequency ranges and called “Neurocode-Tracking”. The new method was technically validated by the use of a signal generator and was found to correspond to classical quantitative EEG analysis except for some smudging during the transition from one frequency range to the next. Real data from a subject were obtained during relaxation and performance of three mental tasks. Data were time averaged for 180 s using the classical method and compared to data averaging during 16.4 s. Results were nearly identical with respect to spectral signatures showing the expected midline frontal theta increases during performance of three cognitive tests but not during relaxation. Collection of very short time epochs of 728 ms duration confirmed task dependent frontal theta increases, most prominent during calculation performance test (CPT), less during d2-concentration and memory test, none during relaxation. Finally, the new technique was combined with eye-tracking. Capture of the EEG mapping video of Neurocode-Tracking and synchronization with the gaze overlay video by starting recording with an audio signal (gong) allowed a match of gazes precisely with the corresponding electric events. Use of this technical combination in research will hopefully lead to a new understanding of spectral signatures of electric activity called enkephaloglyphs.

DETERMINANTS OF TRADE CREDIT FINANCING: CASE OF MANUFACTURING FIRMS LISTED IN PAKISTAN

Abstract This paper investigates the determinants of trade credit financing used by listed manufacturing firms in Pakistan. For this purpose, balanced panel data are used that consist of 327 manufacturing firms listed on KSE Pakistan and time period from 2005 to 2013. Results of system GMM estimator applied on dynamic panel data set reveal that trade credit financing used by listed manufacturing firms is significantly affected by its first lag, trade credit extended to customers, availability of short term bank credit, their sales growth, profitability, creditworthiness, collateral and financial leverage. Positive coefficient for first lag of trade credit financing shows that firms’ trade credit financing is dynamic. The speed of making adjustment in trade credit financing is found relatively high due to low cost of making adjustment. Findings of this study has managerial implication for trade credit financing decision of listed manufacturing firms. For future research, investigation of the effect of financial development on trade credit financing behavior of firms is proposed.
A Professional experience learning community for pre-service secondary mathematics teachers

This paper reports the development and implementation of a collaborative professional experience learning community for a group of nine pre-service secondary mathematics teachers. The preservice teachers and their methods lecturer made 12 school visits over one academic year to a local secondary school. The pre-service teachers observed and co-taught problem-solving lessons in two Year 8 classes. They discussed the lessons with the teacher and the university lecturer, and later posted reflective comments to an online forum. Data from questionnaires, interviews, and reflections indicate that participation in the learning community helped pre-service teachers make stronger links between theory and practice, learn from each other, and become more reflective about problem-solving teaching approaches.

Neural Protein 1B236/Myelin‐Associated Glycoprotein (MAG) Defines a Subgroup of the Immunoglobulin Superfamily

We have reviewed the structure and properties of the neural protein 1B236/MAG. This molecule consists largely of five Ig-like domains separated from its carboxyl terminal tail by a single membrane-spanning region. Two forms of the protein differ in the length and sequence of the carboxyl terminus: these are encoded by alternatively spliced mRNAs that are differentially expressed during postnatal neural development. The Ig-like domains of 1B236/MAG are unusual in having structural similarities to Ig V domains but with short Cys-Cys distances characteristic of C domains. Several other Ig-like molecules exhibit this structural feature, including the cell adhesion molecule N-CAM, which is most closely related in sequence to 1B236/MAG. We have proposed 1B236/MAG as the prototype for this subgroup of the Ig family and offer a model for this type of Ig domain structure. 1B236/MAG probably acts as a cell adhesion molecule to mediate interactions between cells in a fashion similar to that proposed for N-CAM. In particular, 1B236/MAG may be involved in interactions between myelinating oligodendrocytes or Schwann cells and axons or between adjacent layers of myelin membrane during the process of myelin compaction. It is most likely that the homophilic or heterophilic interactions of 1B236/MAG occur through binding to the Ig-like domains. The structure of 1B236/MAG is therefore quite consistent with its proposed function and may serve as the model for this class of cell-cell interaction molecules. One would predict, for example, that the neuron-glia cell adhesion molecule Ng-CAM, also known as NILE or L1 (Bock et al. 1985, Friedlander et al. 1985), which mediates interactions between neurons and glial cells, would have a very similar structure to those of N-CAM and 1B236/MAG. In addition, the carboxyl terminal tails of the 1B236/MAG proteins may also be involved in interactions with cytoskeletal components, during membrane vesicle transport through the glial cytoplasm during myelination or through neuronal axoplasm or cytoplasm. The availability of full-length cDNA clones of 1B236/MAG mRNAs with the ability to express these products in vitro will enable the structure and interactions of 1B236/MAG to be tested in detail.
Cataloging the Bloomberg era: New York City legislation relevant to cardiovascular risk factors

Abstract Health-relevant legislation in New York City (NYC) was catalogued during 1998–2017. Legislation identified through the NYC Council legislative record portal, 1998–2017 was systematically classified for relevance to four modifiable cardiovascular risk factors. We classified 7.4% of the legislation introduced during the Bloomberg Administration as relevant to selected cardiovascular risk factors.
Fc- and Complement-Receptor Activation Stimulates Cell Cycle Progression of Macrophage Cells from G1 to S1

Phagocytosis of microorganisms by macrophages is an important host defense mechanism. While studying the phagocytosis of the human pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans, we noted that macrophage-like J774 cells with ingested fungal cells had frequent mitotic figures. By analyzing the relative proportion of phagocytic cells as a function of cell cycle phase, we observed an increase in S phase cells after Fc-mediated phagocytosis of polystyrene beads, live or heat-killed C. neoformans. This result was confirmed by increased nuclear BrdU incorporation after Fc-mediated phagocytosis. The induced progression to S phase was observed after both Fc- and complement-mediated phagocytosis of live yeasts. Fc-mediated stimulation of cell division did not require ingestion, because it could be triggered by incubating cells in IgG1-coated plates. Phagocytosis-mediated stimulation of replication was confirmed in vitro using primary bone marrow macrophages and in vivo for peritoneal macrophages. We conclude that phagocytosis of microbes or inert particles can stimulate macrophages to enter S phase and commence cell division. This observation suggests a potential mechanism for increasing the number of effector cells after microbial ingestion, but can also promote the spread of infection.
Power switched-capacitor DC-DC converter: analysis and design

This paper shows that a switched-capacitor DC-DC converter (SCDDC) can be designed to process up to several tens of watts of output power at an efficiency exceeding 80%. Converter operation is analyzed by "modified state-space-averaging", (MSSA) which is generally suitable for analysis of converters with nonlinear ripple. A design procedure is presented along with experimental verification.
The World Health Organization histologic classification system reflects the oncologic behavior of thymoma

Although the histologic classification of thymic epithelial tumors has been confusing and controversial, an agreement on the universal classification system for thymic epithelial tumors was achieved by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1999. The authors previously reported that the WHO histologic classification system reflects invasiveness and immunologic function of thymic epithelial tumors. In this subsequent study, they examined the prognostic significance of this classification system.
Progress in the management of head injury

Three 1‐year surveys of head injury management spanning a 9‐year period in a single regional centre are presented, There was a reduction in total numbers of head injury admissions after guidelines for admission and referral were implemented. More liberal use of computed tomography resulted in detection of a greater number of intracranial haematomas with the majority detected in non‐comatose patients. The early mortality rate in severe head injury fell from 45 per cent to 34 per cent despite referral of large numbers of patients with multiple injuries and a substantial proportion (12per cent) of patients aged more than 70 years in whom outcome did not improve. Total occupied bednights and bednights occupied per surviving patient with severe head injury fell over the period of study. Care for patients with significant head injury should be based on regional neurosurgical units associated with trauma services.
Computational, model thinking and computer coding for U.S. Common Core Standards with 6 to 12 year old students

The United States (U.S.) is going through a preschool through 12th grade education transition to Common Core State Standards (CCSS), initially English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics (Math). Computational and model thinking can lead to a practice of computer coding where many of the necessary shifts in learning the ELA and Math standards can be incorporated. A new initiative by Paradise Valley Unified School District (PVUSD) to teach coding to K-8 students, and the requisite computational/model thinking through CCSS activities and lesson plans is provided. Three Gifted Education teachers (1st/2nd grades, 3rd/4th grades, 5th/6th grades) and the Information Technology Director articulate and showcase some explorations of teaching computer coding. The teachers and their students have been exposed to a variety of computational/model thinking activities and web portals/platforms (e.g., Codecademy, Scratch, App Inventor, Khan Academy, etc.), IOS/Android Apps, and web sites as listed at http://ccc.pvlearners. net. All students have access to tablets, Chromebooks, and TelePresence units to facilitate their creation and collaboration in coding.
Erbin Suppresses the MAP Kinase Pathway*

We present evidence here that Erbin is a negative regulator of the Ras-Raf-Erk signaling pathway. Expression of Erbin decreases transcription of the AChR ε-subunit gene, an event that is mediated by Erk activation. Although it interacts with the ErbB2 C terminus through the PDZ domain, Erbin has no effect on ErbB2 tyrosine phosphorylation or binding to the adaptor proteins Shc and Grb2. In contrast, expression of Erbin greatly impairs activation of Erk, but not Akt, by ligands that activate receptor tyrosine kinases. Moreover, Erbin inhibits the Erk activation by active Ras, while it fails to do so in the presence of active Raf-1. Erbin associates with active Ras, but not inactive Ras nor Raf. Consistently, Erbin interferes with the interaction between Ras and Raf both in vivo and in vitro. Finally, overexpression of Erbin leads to inhibition of NGF-induced neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells, whereas down-regulation of endogenous Erbin by specific siRNA exhibits an opposite effect. Collectively, our study has identified Erbin as a novel suppressor of the Ras signaling by disrupting the Ras-Raf interaction.
Understanding What Matters to Customers: The Case of Loyalty Programs in the Indian Context

Abstract Though customer loyalty programs have become popular across all businesses, building an effective loyalty program still remains a mystery for most. Since the use of Loyalty Programs amongst Indian customers is not very high, the particular objective of this research was to advance a practical model relating customer-perceived benefits to satisfaction derived and importance attached, which will help companies in more effective formulation of their loyalty programs. The study extends Yi and Jeon’s work, integrated with the varied benefits structure recommended by Mimouni-Chaabane and Volle in the context of departmental stores in India, and derives a loyalty scale in the Indian context. The study validated the scale of perceived benefits from loyalty programs in the context of customers in India and a structural model was tested and derived that studied the impact of perceived benefits on satisfaction derived and importance attached.
THE ANALYSIS OF FLIGHT FREQUENCY ON ROUTE JAKARTA - ISTANBUL CONNECTING TO OTHER CITIES TO COVER MARKET DEMAND

ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to analyse the flight frequency required for Turkish Airlines on 2018-2019. The problem of the research is the route of Jakarta-Istanbul that is used for Umrah and Leisure often have overbooked due to Turkish Airlines only provide one flight per day to carry all passengers. The methodology used quantitative descriptive analysis with the least square method to estimate the trend value that will be used as a tool to forecast the number of passengers. Seasonal variations in the data are regular upward or downward movements in a time series that tie to recurring events. The result of the data recorded in 2016 the average load factor reached by airlines of Turkey was 83.48%, aircraft seat capacity and inadequate and therefore cannot meet the demand of passengers, as well as using airline indicator calculation to analyse the flight frequency needs. It is resulted that the total passenger in 2018-2019 will increase, where in 2018 is in amount of 110.612 passengers and in 2019 is in amount of 125.645 passengers. Turkish Airlines needs to add 1 time flight frequency in a particular day on that route.
Atrial size, atrial fibrillation, and stroke

represent one third of the presented data. Second, of the 4 remaining patients, only 2 (Nos. 2 and 3) had no reported changes in their intraoperative records. However, between 1,000 and 2,000 averages were needed to obtain a record in both these patients. This would indicate a problem with the monitoring protocol that in these patients may have been due in large part to the use of halogenated inhalation anesthesia. There is ample literature to show that this type of anesthesia markedly depresses and alters the cortical response intraoperatively and is rate dependent. As a result of these findings, the use of halogenated agents together with somatosensory cortical evoked potential (SCEP) monitoring has been abandoned as unreliable by most practitioners. Third, in the remaining 2 patients, changes were noted intraoperatively that implied the existence of some compromise of the patients’ neurological status. In Patient 4, the two transient intraoperative episodes of latency and amplitude change indicated that the spinal cord was potentially at risk, although the complication did not occur until six hours postoperatively. This case should not be considered a monitoring failure. The other patient (No. 5) had a severe neurological deficit preoperatively, was subjected to halogenated inhalation anesthesia, and demonstrated some deterioration postoperatively. This also should not be considered a monitoring failure. Finally, it is interesting to note that each of these 6 patients had a different anesthetic technique. As noted above, the susceptibility of SCEP’s to modification by anesthesia is well documented. With the use of balanced anesthesia, many institutions are obtaining reproducible, high-quality intraoperative records by averaging less than 100 recordings. In summary, the application of the SCEP technique to intraoperative monitoring of spinal cord function has been shown to be a reliable technique provided those factors that affect the records, such as type of anesthesia used, intraoperative PCO~, blood pressure, bolus narcotic administration, and cordcore temperature are understood and controlled. In the absence of these controls, SCEP monitoring reliability and validity is compromised. Because insufficient information was provided concerning the specifics of each institution’s technique, it was not possible to separate true negatives from “system-generated’’ false negatives.
: a cross-level

Positive effects of firms’ service diversification on competitive advantages have been documented. However, how to achieve service diversification remains unclear. Although studies point out information technology (IT) can enhance service diversification, the effects of specific ITs need further investigation. This study proposes a conceptual model to study the effects of four specific ITs usage on service diversification from resource-based view. Moreover, we investigate the moderating effect of macro innovation environment. Firm-level data were collected from 690 logistics firms in 23 cities in China. Our results show that all four ITs contribute to service diversification. Macro innovation environment negatively moderates the relationship between emerging technologies and service diversification
