In this paper, $ k $-fractional integral operators containing further extension of Mittag-Leffler function are defined firstly. Then, the first and second version of Hadamard and Fejér-Hadamard inequalities for generalized $ k $-fractional integrals are obtained. Finally, by using these generalized $ k $-fractional integrals containing Mittag-Leffler functions, results for $ p $-convex functions are obtained. The results for convex functions can be deduced by taking $ p = 1 $.

Authors: Pache Durán María , Nevado Gil María Teresa , Sousa Paiva Inna , Cagica Carvalho Luísa
Published: October 2021

La Responsabilidad Social se ha convertido en una pieza clave para las organizaciones. Al mismo tiempo que la sociedad exige cada vez más el acceso a la información, esto se vuelve particularmente importante en el caso de las organizaciones públicas. El uso de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones (TIC) es una forma fácil y eficaz de acceder a la información para una gran parte de la población. Por lo tanto, las organizaciones deben utilizar este canal de comunicación para informar y comunicarse con su público. Este trabajo tiene por objeto establecer una comparación entre las áreas metropolitanas de Lisboa y Oporto del grado de divulgación de la información sobre Responsabilidad Social que realizan las administraciones públicas locales a través de sus portales web. Con ese fin, se realizó un análisis de contenido aplicando indicadores previamente probados en otros territorios. Los resultados sugieren que, en general, las administraciones públicas locales de las dos áreas metropolitanas están elaborando políticas específicas de Responsabilidad Social que muestran el mismo compromiso con la sostenibilidad, aunque el área metropolitana de Lisboa parece estar más comprometida con la información ambiental.

Published: October 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the progress in 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, and policymakers have been challenged with the implications of conventional economic system in the market. At this point, it can be said that the adoption of the best alternative economic and business model for the marketplace is the new phenomenon during the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, alternative economic and business models can reduce the carbon emission, environmental pollution, and global warming, but there is a still dark point in solving social issues globally. This study aims to give a brief framework for alternative economic and business models in the context of sustainability. This study presents the links between 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, digital economy, and de-growth. In other words, this chapter focuses on digital economy (digitalization) and degrowth model (degrowing). Accordingly, it is thought to give an up-to-date work for achieving sustainable development after the COVID-19 pandemic in the long term.

Authors: Gedikli Ayfer , Yalçın Abdullah Kutalmış
Published: October 2021

The COVID-19 outbreak and its global spread through human-to-human contact have made it even more important to analyze the environmental effects. The higher the population, the higher the energy usage, the higher amount of carbon emissions, and the faster the environmental degradation. Having a high-quality environment is important for people to protect themselves from infection. During the lockdowns, city residents could benefit from the environment. Shutdowns contributed not only to break the chain of infections but also to the development of the environment and ecosystems. Due to the great cuts in transportation and industrial sectors, air and water pollution levels have come down, and nature has started to reassert itself. In this process, governments have a great role to fight the pandemic and protect the environment. In this chapter, environmental sustainability and the role of governments during the pandemic will be analyzed. Also, the viable solutions for environmental sustainability that can be provided by the governments will be put forth.

Authors: Couto Gaulter , Pimentel Pedro , Lousada Sérgio António Neves , Castanho Rui Alexandre
Published: October 2021

The ultra-peripheral Portuguese region of Azores is considered one of the EU outermost regions. This insular region is widely recognized as a sustainable nature-based destination. Its remoteness and breathtaking landscape attributed the region a label of adventure tourism by global references as Bloomberg, Departures, BBC, Forbes, GeekyExplorer, Lonely Planet, among others. In this regard, this type of tourism incorporated with the digital marketing generated around it is seen as a vital channel for inspiring sustainable regional development. Consequently, it is possible to verify that the digital marketing created around this new typology of tourism along with the Azores' singularity as a destination could significantly influence the local socio-economy base to the sustained development growth of the region. Furthermore, it was identified that the most reasonable opportunities for slow and nature-based tourism were located in rural tourism.

Authors: Qi Guohu , Zhang Xuemei , Hu Jiawei , Chen Haoran
Published: October 2021

This paper investigates impacts of market segmentation and showrooming effect on the decision-making of an O2O supply chain, and puts forwards a contract to coordinate the O2O supply chain. Results show that, the showrooming effect is beneficial to the manufacturer, retailer and the supply chain, and the retailer will offer offline showrooming service. Under the influence of market segmentation, O2O supply chain is not necessarily better than single-channel supply chain structure. But adopting advertising and other means to improve consumers’ online channel acceptance, it can realize transformation from single-channel to O2O structure. The benefits of showrooming effect can eliminate the disadvantage of market segmentation. Moreover, a service cost sharing contract is put forward, which can perfectly coordinate the O2O supply chain with market segmentation and showrooming effect. These findings help managers to understand which channel structure is optimal by considering market segmentation and showrooming effect and identify possible pathways for them to perfectly cooperation.
Impact of Price-Sensitive Demand and Premium Payment Scheme on Bullwhip Effect
Authors: Verma Mona , Jain Reena , Jaggi Chandra K.
Published: October 2021

Bullwhip effect reduces the efficiency, responsiveness, and value of the supply chain. There are some indirect causes like lead time, the number of echelons, and some direct causes of bullwhip effect such as rationing or price variation. Due to capacity constraints, retailers are forced to experience rationing of their demands. Fear of rationing usually gives rise to manipulable demand and hence increases the bullwhip effect. Moreover, if the retailer’s demand is price sensitive then it will cause price variation. The offerings of premium payment by retailers due to unfulfilled demand lure the supplier to extend his existing capacity and to allocate them more supply. In this paper, an attempt has been made to mitigate the impact of the bullwhip effect using a premium payment scheme. A technique has been coined that will help in reducing the bullwhip effect. The increased value of the supply chain on using a premium payment scheme is proof of the reduction of the bullwhip effect. Results are validated through numerical analysis.

Published: October 2021

Research on the Anguilla bicolor bicolor McClelland, 1844 eels has been widely proposed, but study related to air oxygen uptake through gills and skin for A. bicolor bicolor has not been found. This information is very important in the development of future cultivation technology. This study aims to analyze the oxygen uptake of A. bicolor bicolor through gills and skin, blood biochemistry, blood image and histology to air exposure. Eels were exposed to air for one hour (A), two hours (B) and three hours (C), and eels in the water were used as control. A total of 66 fish (77.68±1.54 g) of eels were imported from Bogor City, Indonesia. Oxygen uptake from the air through the gills and skin reduced with longer exposure time. After 3 hours of exposure time, the percentage of oxygen uptake through the gills decreased from 64.52% to 54.29% and the percentage of oxygen uptake through the skin increased from 35.48% to 45.71%. Eels use different proportions of their gills and skin together when exposed to air. Air exposure affected the blood biochemistry values, blood image and showed the highest values on air exposure for 3 hours.
Szymon Rabinowicz – odnaleziony

Szymon Rabinowicz – rediscovered

In 1935, the National Museum in Krakow began collecting Jewish handicraft with the aim of establishing the “Judaica department”. Until WWII (1939), numerous objects were purchased with the help of antique shops and private individuals. One of the main sources (or even the most important) was Szymon Rabinowicz, a Jewish antique dealer. Surprisingly, although his work was very important for the preservation of Jewish culture, very little was known about him – he was virtually anonymous. Even worse: many legends about him that were spread among old curators of the Museum turned out to be completely untrue. It was only about 75 years after his death that it became possible to reconstruct his life. Now we know that he was born in Frysztak (near Strzyżów, Poland) on 16 December 1895. He arrived in Podgórze in 1914 or 1917 and settled there. During WWI (1914–1917), he served in the Austro-Hungarian army on the Russian front, but was killed by the Germans either in the Krakow Ghetto or during the transport from KL Plaszow to the Death Camp in Treblinka, in 1942.
Zasób archiwum oraz biblioteki parafii św. Katarzyny w Wolbromiu

Published: October 2021

Resources of the archive and library of Saint Catherine’s parish in Wolbrom The article tries to take a closer look at the history of the archive and library of Saint Catherine’s parish in Wolbrom, describe the local conditions and briefly characterise the archival resources and library collection. The parish archive and library, originally part of the monastery, in Wolbrom have previously been the subject of only a few studies. Saint Catherine’s parish in Wolbrom was founded in the first half of the 14th century. At the beginning of the 1620s, it was handed over to the Canons Regular of the Lateran from the Corpus Christi Church in Kazimierz near Krakow. The first printed books almost certainly arrived in the town together with the founding of the parish, while the oldest mention of the parish book collection in Wolbrom comes from 1566. In the following centuries, the collection was successively enriched with donations from benefactors and the clergy. The main users of the collection were almost certainly the monks themselves, the heads of the parish schools and pupils. The rich collection in the parish library was not, however, always respected, especially in the 18th century when, after an inspection, attention was drawn to the terrible conditions in the library. Many valuable parts of the collection were also destroyed during wars and invasions. The Wolbrom parish archive was mentioned for the first time in the second half of the 17th century. Initially, the archive was located in the chambers of the prior, then in the monastery library above the church sacristy. The resources of the archive mainly include parish registers. Most of the documentation comes from the time of the partitions. The parish archive also contains documents not connected with the activities of the parish. There is even a royal document from the time of Stanislaw II August Poniatowski concerning the local guild of furriers. The observations carried out in the archive and library allow important recommendations to be made concerning the safeguarding of the collection with suitable storage conditions.

The archival materials of the deanery of the Baranów Sandomierz Diocese in the resources of the Diocesan Archives. Archbishop Jerzy Ablewicz in Tarnów Documents of the Baranów deanery of the Sandomierz diocese in the resources of the Archbishop Jerzy Ablewicz Diocesan Archives in Tarnów. The documents of the Diocesan Archives in Tarnów contain documents produced in the parishes of the Baranów diocese, previously of the Tarnów diocese but assigned since 1992 to the Sandomierz diocese. Parish registers (baptisms, marriages and deaths) cover the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Some of them refer only to the nineteenth century. In addition, documents from local record departments, dignitaries and canonical visits allow you to create an image of the history over the centuries of the Baranów parish. They are a valuable source of research resources. They serve as an important supplement to the history of the Church of the Sandomierz diocese. They are also indisputable proof of the religiousness of the diocese and the work of the clergy among the faithful in particular parishes, places and times.

O potrzebie antropologicznych badań organizacyjnego wymiaru religii
Authors: Halemba Agnieszka
Published: October 2021

On the Need for Anthropological Study of the Organizational Dimension of Religion Qualitative research on religion often overlooks its organizational aspect, even though most of religious life takes place within an organizational framework. Religious organizations are active on many levels: they educate and control religious specialists, shape religious materiality, and in many other ways influence how relationships with the sacred are conceptualized and lived out. The organization of religious life has implications that should be studied by researchers interested in lived religion, especially when they deal with such issues as religious experience, the integrative role of religion, ritual efficacy, and the transmission of practices and beliefs.
German Nationalism and Its Influence on the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Poland 1917–1939
Authors: Lipiński Filip
Published: October 2021

The roots of German nationalism among members of the Evangelical Church of the Augsburg Confession in Poland are bound with the activity of German authorities who tried to separate the German community in the occupied Kingdom of Poland during the First World War. German nationalism of the era was based on religious, social, and political factors, such as the idea of a unified German nation both within and outside of the German Reich. According to this idea, the German state was to be the defender of the German people worldwide. Such ideas woke the separatist tendencies inside the Augsburg Church. The political situation in the Second Polish Republic and spread of the national socialist ideology in the 1930s increased the separatist tendencies in the Church and led to a conflict with its pro-governmental Consistory and the General Superintendent, later Bishop Juliusz Bursche.
Tradycja ustna i pisemna Koranu a jego miejsce we wczesnym islamie
Authors: Grodzki Marcin
Published: October 2021

The Oral and Written Traditions of the Qur’an and Its Place in Early Islam The paper considers the form, status, and importance of the Qur’anic message in the first two centuries of Islam. The argument is that the term “Qur’an” could not have originally referred to the final body of revelation in a text form. Rather, the concept of the Qur’an must have functioned among the faithful as a term for oral transmission before the scripturalization of the revelation, and it is this oral function of the Qur’an that is primal to its literate function. It seems that just as in Judaism and Christianity, in Islam the process of remembering, passing on, collecting, and codifying the textus receptus, along with its stabilization and sacralization, was a centuries-long self-propelled operation shaped primarily by the oral tradition (especially in the presumed culture of illiterate people).
Assyrians Without Borders: Middle Eastern Christians Towards a New Form of Citizenship in Sweden
Authors: Woźniak-Bobińska Marta
Published: October 2021

This article presents a case study of a Swedish-based NGO, Assyrians Without Borders (AWB), whose priority objective is to help Middle Eastern Christians, mainly Assyrians/Syriacs, in need in their homeland. The paper argues that Assyrians/Syriacs in Sweden have developed three forms of citizenship – religious, political and democratic. All three forms are transnational and have the potential to challenge the idea of national citizenship as being the dominant model of citizenship. Participating in AWB is understood as practising democratic citizenship, a concept seen as the Swedish ideal of model citizenship. The paper claims that AWB empowers its members and helps them to construct a mutually reinforcing dual Assyrian-Swedish identity.

Disabled people are usually unable to interact with their surroundings efficiently, and performing tasks like switching an appliance on or off can be troublesome if the user is bedridden, for example. This article discusses an electrical appliance switching controller using a wireless EEG headset that is aimed to aid elderly people and the disabled. The system comprises of a MindLink EEG headset that is Bluetooth-connected to an Arduino microcontroller board. The system permits the user to separately switch on and off the 4 electrical devices connected to the power socket. The EEG signal is obtained to investigate the brain activity throughout the experiments done. Based on the brain wave signals read, attention and meditation are determined to be the most suitable for this project and is used to trigger the relay switching of the power socket. It is found that the response time to trigger the switching is slow as some users require practice or training to control their brain wave signals effectively. The work performed provides a rudimentary insight of a BCI system functionalities and presents a brainwave-controlled hardware switching for the bedridden or disabled patients.

Authors:   Bina Nusantara University, Jakarta, Indonesia., Setiabudi Christian Alvin , Kusuma Gede Putra
Published: October 2021

Indoor Positioning System has been one of the most attractive research after Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) was introduced. This technology mainly used because of the reduction of material and energy cost over time that has huge impact compared to other technologies, which are more costly. Most recent research resolve around improving the accuracy of calculated position of the user by implementing different method to enable an indoor positioning system, and to remove any noises in the dataset. This paper objective is to compare some of the available methods that are used to enable Indoor Positioning System such as Fingerprinting, Multilateration, Trilateration, and Heron Bilateration. Since the performance of Fingerprinting is better compared to other methods, we combine Fingerprinting’s offline phase with the other methods to create a hybrid method and compare the accuracy of predicted user’s position. The experimental results show that the Fingerprinting and WKNN method outperform all other methods by resulting on 271.76 cm mean of error.

Giriş: Gebelik öncesi doğum korkusu, genellikle doğumun tıbbileştirilmesi bağlamında tartışılan sosyokültürel bir olgu olarak görülmektedir. Çeşitli faktörlerin sebep olduğu bu korkuyu kadınlar kadar erkeklerde deneyimleyebilir. Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı sağlık alanında eğitim alan bir grup gencin gebelik öncesi doğum korkularını etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Bu çalışma, tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel niteliktedir. Araştırmanın evreni, Türkiye'nin güneyinde bir devlet üniversitesinin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi'nde kayıtlı 1. ve 4. sınıf ebelik ve hemşirelik öğrencileridir. Örneklem büyüklüğü hesaplaması ile belirlenen katılımcı sayısına göre 387 öğrenci ile çalışma yürütülmüştür. Veriler kişisel bilgi formu ve Gebelik Öncesi Doğum Korkusu Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Bağımlı ve bağımsız değişkenlerin karşılaştırılmasında indipendent t test, one way ANOVA, bağımlı ve bağımsız değişkenlerin birbiri ile ilişkisisin belirlenmesinde ise çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 20.59 ± 1.75’tir. Gençlerin doğum korkusu ölçek toplam puan ortalaması 39.77±9.84’tür. Katılımcıların büyük çoğunluğu vajinal doğumu tercih etmiştir. Ağrının şiddeti ile ilgili kaygılar, yetersiz baş etme becerisi, öngörülemez riskler, beden imajına yönelik kaygılar ve olumsuz doğum hikayeleri vajinal doğumu tercih edeceklerini ifade eden katılımcılar için doğum korkusunu yordayıcı faktörlerdir. Sonuç: Sağlık eğitimi almış olmalarına rağmen, gençlerin gebelik öncesi orta derecede doğum korkusu vardır. Ebeveynliğe geçmeden önce bu korkuların belirlenmesi ve çözülmesi, olumlu sağlık sonuçları için önemlidir. Danışmanlık rolleri gereği ebelik ve hemşirelik öğrencilerinin bu konudaki tutumlarının olumlu yönde geliştirilmesi için hedefli bir eğitim planlaması önerilmektedir.

Published: October 2021

Introducción: La fuerza es un componente esencial de la aptitud física, por lo que podría representar una unidad fundamental en los procesos de crecimiento y desarrollo de los niños. Objetivo: Comparar los efectos de dos protocolos de entrenamiento con sobrecarga en el desarrollo de la fuerza y la resistencia muscular en niños pre púberes futbolistas. Métodos. 32 niños pre púberes (10,4 ± 0,3 años) participaron de este estudio longitudinal prospectivo divididos en dos grupos por conveniencia, grupo Bajas Cargas (BC) y grupo Moderadas Cargas (MC). Ambos grupos realizaron 2 sesiones semanales de entrenamiento con sobrecarga durante 8 semanas, completando el mismo volumen de entrenamiento, con una intensidad relativa del 50% para BC y del 75% de 1RM para MC, en los ejercicios prensa de piernas y press en banco. Se evaluó 1RM en press en banco (1RM-PB) y prensa de piernas (1RM-PP); máximas repeticiones realizables al 50% y 75% en press en banco (PB50% y PB75%) y prensa de piernas (PP50% y PP75%). Resultados. La 1RM-PB aumentó significativamente en ambos grupos (MC: 27% y BC: 19%) al igual que la 1RM-PP (MC: 50% y BC: 31%). La PP50%, PP75% y PB50% aumentaron significativamente en ambos grupos (BC: 73,27%, 13,40%, 5,34%; MC: 21,4%, 29,1%, 3,68%, respectivamente). Sólo el grupo MC logró mejoras en PB75% (39%). Conclusiones. La fuerza y la resistencia muscular pueden mejorar durante la niñez con la prescripción de protocolos de entrenamiento de fuerza de cargas moderadas durante el período inicial de entrenamiento.

O Para-Badminton (PBd) conta com adaptações em suas regras e no seu espaço de jogo de acordo com a classe esportiva, mantendo a essência do jogo oficial. A presente pesquisa apresenta um estudo do tipo exploratório, com delineamento quantitativo cujo objetivo é avaliar, através de testes adaptados, a aptidão física relacionada ao desempenho de atletas brasileiros de PBd. Foram avaliados cinco atletas com deficiência física, usuários de cadeira de rodas, do sexo masculino, com idades entre 18 e 46 anos. Para a coleta de dados, foram utilizados três testes adaptados, sendo: o zigue-zague modificado para avaliar a agilidade; a corrida de 40 metros em cadeiras de rodas esportivas para avaliar a velocidade e, o arremesso de medicine ball para avaliar a potência de membros inferiores. Os resultados médios obtidos nas variáveis: a) agilidade foi de 15,6 segundos; b) velocidade foi de 8,6 segundos; e c) potência de membros superiores de 6,2 metros. Pode-se concluir que os jogadores de PBd, em sua maioria, apresentaram melhores scores do que os estudos com atletas de atletismo Paralímpico, basquete e handebol em cadeira de rodas. Jogadores de PBd necessitam dessas competências bem desenvolvidas em razão das especificidades do jogo (área de jogo reduzida, modalidade rápida, grande volume de deslocamentos e batidas na peteca). Assim, os resultados aqui apresentados podem auxiliar na prescrição e elaboração de programas de treinamento de atletas da modalidade, bem como para estudos que tenham a intenção de verificar a aptidão física voltada ao desempenho de atletas de PBd.

Modelización de la demanda de energía eléctrica: más allá de la normalidad
Authors: Rendón Juan F. , Trespalacios Alfredo , Cortés Lina M. , Villada-Medina Hernán D.
Published: October 2021

Este trabajo propone un modelo de demanda de energía eléctrica basado en métodos de series de tiempo y estadística semi-noparamétrica (SNP). Esto permite conocer no solo el valor esperado de la demanda sino también su distribución de probabilidad de manera que, mediante el cálculo de métricas como la Medida de Riesgo de Cuantil (Quantile Risk Metrics), se puedan tomar decisiones basadas en valores extremos menos o más favorables que el valor esperado. Los resultados muestran que para el caso de la demanda de energía eléctrica del mercado colombiano entre los años 2000 y 2018 la distribución de probabilidad de la demanda diaria promedio es leptocúrtica. Es decir, los eventos extremos ocurren con mayor frecuencia que aquellos que suponen una distribución normal. De modo que, el supuesto de distribución gaussiana conlleva a la subvaloración del riesgo en términos de la subvaloración de la frecuencia de valores extremos.
The influence of the vulnerability of sectors on their survival and probability of insolvency: the case of small and medium entities in Spain
Authors: Somoza Antonio
Published: October 2021

This paper looks at a sample of small and medium entities in Spain and analyzes the effect of the vulnerability of sectors to insolvency on their survival and the probability that they will go bankrupt. We collected data from solvent and insolvent firms in Spain over the period 2012-2016, and grouped them according to the percentage of insolvencies by sector (highest, lowest, and a reference group). The results show that no differences in the endurance of the firms emerge among the groups, while some variables appear to be relevant when the logit analysis is applied. Survival depends on liquidity and size in all industries, but profitability and turnover are also essential for the group with the highest levels of insolvency. The probability of bankruptcy is mainly explained by turnover and short-term solvency. Size and turnover have negative effects on bankruptcy. Age is also a common factor, but with a different interpretation for each technique. The main contribution of this paper is the analysis of insolvency in the two dimensions of survival and probability according to the sectorial insolvency rate.
Teaching english through proverbs
Authors: Ichim Viorica
Published: October 2021

Maxims, proverbs and other forms of folk wisdom reveal the truth about the human nature and the physical world, and each culture expresses this truth in its own unique way. This article zeroes in on the relevance of proverbs as an effective pedagogic resource. The work tends to draw attention to the fact that the utilisation of proverbs in the process of teaching and learning a foreign language, in this instance the English language, is a pragmatic approach and a more stimulating, more thought-provoking and more effective way of instruction and comprehension of the material under study, and that diverse forms of popular wisdom can afford a basis for a multitude of classroom activities which would demonstrate their considerable didactic potential and impact.
