IMPROVING CONSUMER LENDING MODEL CLIENTS
Authors: Лычева  , Lycheva Irina , Молчанова  , Molchanova Vera
Published: February 2017

The dynamism of the ongoing reforms in the domestic banking sector, one way or another, concerns the relationship of banks with their clients. The customer base responds differently to the reform of the banking system: there is a category of clients who do not take the action of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, they argue that the monopoly of state-owned banks will lead to a deterioration of service, reduction in quality of banking products and riskiness of banking operations. But there is another category of customers who are positive about the changes and consider increasing the state presence in the banking market of the natural course of development. They link these changes with the possibility of increasing the funding the most important sectors of the real sector of the economy: construction, metallurgy, mechanical engineering. The problem of the banking sector today and in previous periods is similar in many respects: banks still continue to search for the elusive Holy Grail - lasting relationships with customers. Despite the high technology, graphical user interfaces and marketing strategy for the implementation of the task is still unclear in many respects.

The Brazilian Crisis: Corruption, Neoliberalism, and the Primary Sector
Authors: Pahnke Anthony
Published: February 2017

In discussing the Brazilian situation, it is easy to focus on the dramas of individual politicians and institutions. But to look only at this level of the crisis is to ignore the deeper economic conditions that have driven the country's politics to the edge.… The deeper contradiction, however, lies with the natural-resource economy, in which government revenue and social spending require royalties that are controlled by a small, unaccountable elite…. The left's only viable response…is to demand a radical restructuring of the primary sector and a reinvigorated opposition to neoliberalism.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website.
Dem Local Accuracy Patterns in Land-Use/Land-Cover Classification
Authors: Katerji Wassim , Farjas Abadia Mercedes , Morillo Balsera Maria del Carmen
Published: February 2017

Global and nation-wide DEM do not preserve the same height accuracy throughout the area of study. Instead of assuming a single RMSE value for the whole area, this study proposes a vario-model that divides the area into sub-regions depending on the land-use / landcover (LULC) classification, and assigns a local accuracy per each zone, as these areas share similar terrain formation and roughness, and tend to have similar DEM accuracies. A pilot study over Lebanon using the SRTM and ASTER DEMs, combined with a set of 1,105 randomly distributed ground control points (GCPs) showed that even though the inputDEMs have different spatial and temporal resolution, and were collected using difierent techniques, their accuracy varied similarly when changing over difierent LULC classes. Furthermore, validating the generated vario-models proved that they provide a closer representation of the accuracy to the validating GCPs than the conventional RMSE, by 94% and 86% for the SRTMand ASTER respectively. Geostatistical analysis of the input and output datasets showed that the results have a normal distribution, which support the generalization of the proven hypothesis, making this finding applicable to other input datasets anywhere around the world.
Visions of Finland in the Age of Globalization
Authors: Lounasmeri Lotta
Published: February 2017

It seems that in the current era of globalization, the national discourse has not lost its appeal in Finnish public discussion. Somewhat paradoxically, it is as strong as ever when the challenge of globalization is being debated in the Finnish press. A closer investigation of the national arena Helsingin Sanomat (HS) shows a coalition of powerful societal actors in the centre, building up a national consensus and a vision of Finland’s future as a competition state. Different interest groups are divided in their attitudes towards globalization and its implications for Finnish society. Less powerful actors see it as a threat and try to bring forward a vision of Finland as a fair and responsible nation. At the same time, mainstream journalism seems to be afraid of political conflict and of stirring things up. Instead, the paper holds on to the traditional consensus-oriented public discussion culture. The present article discusses the Finnish globalization discussion from the 1990s until 2004.
Properties of cartographic modelling under contemporary definitions of a map
Authors: Baranowski Marek , Gotlib Dariusz , Olszewski Robert
Published: February 2017

The identity of cartography is determined by the manner of defining and interpreting the concept of “map”. However, the term has not been unequivocally articulated as yet. There are many different definitions of maps available in literature – from those viewing map as a scaled-down, planar, graphic representation of geographical space, to those that equate a map to a specific model that is independent of the form of its presentation. Interestingly enough, the basis of such universal treatment of the map concept can be found already in the scientific works from the 1960s. Although contemporary definitions do not limit a map to a single form of presentation, such over-simplification still persists.

The issue has become very relevant given the rapidly increasing number of diverse geospatial applications designed to access spatial data and present it in diverse forms. So far, however, there are no clear rules for categorizing a given representation as cartographic or non-cartographic. And this often gives rise to various misconceptions, e.g. regarding the role and responsibilities of cartography as science and practical activity.

According to the authors of the article, a map is an ordered informational structure shaped by the years of practical experience and research in the field of cartography. Map arising in the process of cartographic modelling is understood as one of many possible models of the portrayed space. The model is formed in the course of thought processes, including abstraction and generalization in particular. Creation of the model involves the use of symbolism that can be decoded by the recipient. This does not mean, however, that the process of symbolization is limited exclusively to graphical representations. Map is also a tool for presenting spatial information in a visual, digital or tactile way. Therefore, the essence of map is determined by its “model” nature rather than the format of the cartographic message.

The authors have assumed that map is formed in the process of cartographic modelling and certain properties of the process can be defined, that distinguish it from other methods of spatial modelling. The properties recognized as characteristic for cartographic modelling include space portraying that enables identification of types of objects and phenomena, describing spatial relationships between objects, as well as their positioning in the applied reference system. In the authors’ opinion, properties of cartographic modelling include also the intentional application of a specific level of generalization determined by the objective of the map, aware authorship of the message, unambiguity of communication and symbolization based on knowledge. The proposed approach should facilitate the classification of different products designed to represent space.

Wetland Algal Communities from Balta Mică a Brăilei Nature Park (Romania)
Authors: Florescu Mihaela Hrisa , Maxim Maria Magdalena , Momeu Laura , Cîmpean Mirela , Battes Karina Paula
Published: February 2017

The present paper aims to characterize the algal communities from Balta Mică a Brăilei Nature Park in terms of their species richness and their ability to reflect the water quality of the aquatic ecosystems they live in. Thirteen shallow floodplain lakes, both permanent and temporary, were considered for the present study, with 16 sampling occasions in 2012 and 2013. More than 300 algal taxa were identified, with the green algae (Chlorophyta) being the dominant phyla in almost all the sampling sites. The trophicity and the organic pollution reached high values in 2012, probably due to low water levels caused by drought. Spring floods from 2013 led to lower trophicity and saprobity levels in all sampled water pools.

Published: February 2017

Para explorar de forma aprofundada as conceções de mudança para lá de análises do presente, importa relembrar algumas discussões de caráter epistemológico em que perpassam visões diversas acerca da Mudança em História, algumas já ultrapassadas mas que permanecem a nível do senso comum. Perante uma intensa produção historiográfica permanentemente em renovação e aberta a diversos pontos de vista e enfoques. Pode-se inferir que a mudança em História, num quadro de reconhecimento de multiperspectiva, é concebida de forma complexa e problemática, sem um sentido fixo ou uma direção determinada. Em educação histórica, as conceções de alunos sobre o conceito de Mudança têm sido já objeto de alguns estudos que podem fornecer pistas frutuosas para a ação educativa. Neste sentido, apresentam-se e discutem-se os fundamentos teóricos, métodos e resultados de alguns desses estudos sobre ideias de alunos de vários países acerca da mudança em História. Algumas implicações destes estudos pretendem constituir-se como pistas que ajudem a desenvolver um tipo de orientação temporal eventualmente mais adequada aos tempos de incerteza que hoje se vivem.
Surface characteristics and bioactivity of mussel-inspired coating for implant
Authors: Zhang Yanxian , Dong Chaofang , Wang Zhe , Yang Sefei , Zhang Dawei , Wen Ying , Li Xiaogang
Published: February 2017

As a robust structural element for spontaneous deposition of bone-stimulating agents, tightly adherent polydopamine (PDA) layer was coated with titanium (Ti) by self-polymerisation to achieve a facile surface-modified orthopedic implant in this paper. The surface characteristics and bioactivity of the self-polymerised dopamine-coated titanium implant were investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle test, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electrochemical measurements and in vitro cell experiment. In the results, the thickness of self-polymerised dopamine film increased with time as measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry. A concavo-convex morphology of PDA film was observed by AFM, and the contact angle analysis showed an increase in surface hydrophilicity. Both the polarisation curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy demonstrated that the PDA film acts as a passive barrier, along with the spontaneously formed compact oxide layer, to further strengthen the corrosion resistance of titanium. In vitro MC3T3-E1 cell adhesion and alkaline phosphate activity on PDA-coated titanium were both significantly improved compared with those on the uncoated titanium. The self-polymerised PDA-coated titanium implant showed better hydrophilicity, higher corrosion resistance and enhanced bioactivity and was demonstrated as a reliable surface modification method.

AKAD PEMBIAYAAN MUDHARABAH MENURUT PEMAHAMAN NASABAH BAITUL MAAL WAT TAMWIL (Studi Pada BMT Al-Aziz Tongas Probolinggo)
Authors: Hamidah Siti , Yandono Prayudo Eri
Published: February 2017

Abstract

Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT) as a financial institutionin Indonesia must compliance to the Islamic law, namely Fatwa Dewan Syariah Nasional Majelis Ulama Indonesia (DSN-MUI). But in reality shows the opposite. One of the causes is the lack of consciousness the laws of society. This empirical research wants to find out how customers of BMT in Tongas Probolinggo understanding against mudharabah contract. Research is done by approach juridical antropologis. Lack of understanding of the customer against the mudharabah contract mis-information by the BMT. Besides, experience customers factors associated with financial institutions formerly also affect. Mudharabah contract still understood as the loan with the obligation of paying interest, not as a result of ratio a share of the revenue. Collateral in mudharabah contract is also seen as a matter a reasonable. However, the understanding BMT’s customers to the values of contract, namely trust, justice, honesty, and mutually beneficial, are good in general. This can not be separated from the influence of social and cultural of the locations of this research.

Abstrak
Baitul Maal wat Tamwil (BMT) dalam menjalankan kegiatannya harus patuh pada ketentuan hukum Islam, yaitu  Fatwa Dewan Syariah Nasional Majelis Ulama Indonesia (DSN-MUI). Dalam kenyataannya, kepatuhan pada ketentuan syariah banyak disimpangi. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah  rendahnya kesadaran hukum masyarakat.  Berlatar belakang hal di atas, maka penelitian berjenis empiris dengan pendekatan yuridis antropologis ini bertujuan untuk mengidentidikasi dan mendeskripsikan serta menganalisis pemahaman nasabah terhadap akad mudharaba di BMT Al-Aziz Tongas Probolinggo. Rendahnya pemahaman nasabah BMT terhadap akad mudharabah adalah karena penjelasan pihak BMT yang kurang tepat. Di samping itu pengalaman nasabah berhutang pada lembaga keuangan konvensional, rentenir dan lainnya membentuk pemahaman tentang akad mudharabah yang tidak sesuai dengan ketentuan syariah. Akad mudharabahdimaknai sebagai perjanjian utang-piutang dengan kewajiban membayar bunga, bukan berdasar ratio bagi hasil. Kewajiban jaminan juga dipahami sebagai sesuatu yang wajar. Namun demikian, pemahaman nasabah BMT terhadap nilai-nilai akad, yaitu kepercayaan, keadilan, kejujuran, serta saling menguntungkan,  sangat baik, hal ini tidak lepas dari pengaruh sosial budaya masyarakat setempat.
Risk and Reward: “Disruptive” Technology
Authors: Judah Janeen
Published: February 2017

President's column

Following my theme for the year on Risk and Reward, let’s think about how disruptive technologies alter the risk/reward balance. The term “disruptive technology” is usually attributed to the Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen in his bestselling 1997 book, The Innovator’s Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail. Christensen defined disruptive technology as a new emerging technology that unexpectedly displaces an established one. Disruptive technologies are usually still unrefined, have performance problems, are not widely known, and may not have a proven practical or commercial application. Disruptive technologies can significantly alter the course of our lifestyles, work, businesses, and even the global economy.

In 2013, McKinsey Global Institute published a list of the 12 most potentially economically disruptive technologies. Think about how life was before these advances:

Mobile Internet

Automation of knowledge work

Internet of Things

Advanced robotics

Cloud technology

Autonomous or near-autonomous vehicles (cars, drones, etc.)

Next-generation genomics

Next-generation storage, including batteries

3D printing

Advanced materials

Advanced oil and gas exploration and recovery

Renewable electricity

We’ve already seen the impact of some of these new technologies in the oil and gas business: cheaper, more robust sensors are multiplying; software is getting smarter, and I believe will mitigate some of the knowledge lost in the Big Crew Change; and advanced materials continue to improve performance and resiliency in oilfield applications. McKinsey’s #11 singles out advanced oil and gas technologies, and most agree that the most disruptive oilfield innovation of the past 30 years has been the application of advanced completion techniques in shales. Private ownership of minerals in the US enabled rapid commercialization of the country’s shale plays through hydraulic fracturing. This unforeseen innovation shook up the oil markets, as we are all living through, but also the global gas and LNG markets. Ten years ago, the US was expected to be a gas importer and companies built LNG import terminals to meet the demand. Now, LNG export terminals are being built to move US gas out to world markets. Huge, unanticipated commercial swings occurred, all due to the application of an existing technology to new formations. And, no one saw it coming.
Guest Editorial: Industry Transformation Takes Many Forms
Authors: Read Alex
Published: February 2017

Guest editorial

Many column inches are filled with discussion of how companies need to operate in the lower-for-longer market that the upstream oil and gas industry continues to face. Much of what we read is focused around headline words such as “innovation” and “disruption.” I feel these are used too often and inappropriately such that we lose focus around their meaning. However, if asked for one word that I believe encapsulates what the oil and gas industry needs, it would be “transformation.”

The oil and gas industry has a history of delivering incredible engineering feats that are impressive in their innovation by any measure in terms of sheer physical or budgetary scale. Whether we look back to the early Gulf of Mexico and North Sea facilities designed to withstand extreme marine environments, the ultradeepwater subsea developments offshore Africa and Brazil, or the mega-projects around floating LNG, the industry has a history of innovation. The rise of independent oil companies, redefining markets in certain regions, has been a good example of disruptive practices.

What we need to focus on now is how we transform the industry. This word can resonate with all of us working in the industry at every level within an organization; all of us can offer ideas for how we could transform what we do, whether at a company or personal level and with a long-term outlook or on a daily basis.

One of the key transformations occurring now is organizations coming together—through mergers, acquisitions, and alliances—to combine products and services from subsurface through subsea and pipelines to topside processing. The move is clearly toward integration of products and services, with companies trying to reduce the costs of interfaces of different aspects of field development and production and reducing the overhead of business operations. While the impact of the downturn cannot be ignored, it is my hope that these changes will offer the opportunity for transformation from an industry that has been heavily project-focused to one that is geared more to delivering standardized products designed to be flexible enough to be modified to cope with the range of projects and operating conditions in which they will deployed. This is a move toward a more efficient engineering industry in the long term.
AIME Legacy Continues To Benefit SPE and Other Member Societies
Authors: Moreau Roland , Baker Kate
Published: February 2017

Member Societies

For those not familiar with AIME, it stands for the “American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers.” AIME, founded in 1871 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, was one of the first national engineering societies established in the United States. In subsequent years, AIME was joined by four other engineering founder societies—the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, the American Society of Civil Engineers, and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers—and formed the United Engineering Foundation. An interesting side note is that US President Herbert Hoover, a mining engineer, served as the AIME president in 1920. More detailed information on the history of AIME can be found in the JPT articles referenced below.

As AIME itself continued to grow, it decentralized and formed four independently operated member societies:

SME (Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration)

TMS (The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society)

AIST (Association for Iron & Steel Technology)

SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers)

The overarching mission of AIME remains to support its member societies, with an accompanying vision to honor its legacy as a valued partner with the member societies. The purpose of this article is to report to our members how AIME is fulfilling its mission of preserving our legacy.

AIME’s History and Heritage Committee is charged with providing over-sight to activities related to preserving and enhancing this legacy. Some of the key focus areas include archiving historical materials, documenting key initiatives and activities of the institute prior to the formation of the independent member societies, capturing oral histories from members on their experiences in the “early days” of their respective industries, maintaining the AIME awards and recognition program, and highlighting specific activities such as commemoration of AIME’s 145th anniversary in 2016 and planning for the 150th milestone in 2021.

Комбинационное рассеяние света в InP, легированном имплантацией ионов Be-=SUP=-+-=/SUP=-
Authors: Авакянц Л.П. , Боков П.Ю. , Червяков А.В.
Published: February 2017

Кристаллы InP с ориентацией (100), имплантированные ионами Be+ с энергией 100 кэВ и дозами 1013-1015 см-2, исследованы методом спектроскопии комбинационного рассеяния света до и после термического отжига при температурах 300-850oC. Обнаружено, что с ростом дозы имплантированных ионов приповерхностная область InP частично аморфизуется, при этом спектральные линии, связанные с продольными колебаниями решетки претерпевают низкочастотный сдвиг и неоднородное уширение, что свидетельствует о формировании нанокристаллической фазы. Термический отжиг приводит к восстановлению кристаллической структуры InP. При температурах отжига >700oC в спектрах комбинационного рассеяния обнаружено рассеяние на связанных фонон-плазмонных модах, что объясняется электрической активацией примеси. По частоте связанной фонон-плазмонной моды в модели двухосцилляторной диэлектрической функции оценена концентрация тяжелых дырок. DOI: 10.21883/FTP.2017.02.44100.8310

Представлены результаты исследований методами EXAFS, XANES и рентгенодифракционных исследований наноразмерных структур ZnS : Cu (5 ат%), полученных методом термического осаждения смеси порошков ZnS и Cu в матрицы пористого анодного оксида алюминия с диаметром пор 80 нм и толщиной 1, 3 и 5 мкм. Проведено сравнение с результатами, полученными для пленок ZnS : Cu, осажденных на поверхность поликора. Рентгенофазовый анализ образцов показал наличие соединений меди и цинка с серой (Cu2S и ZnS соответственно), причем последнее находится в кубической (сфалерит) и гексагональной (вюрцит) модификациях. EXAFS- и XANES-исследования на K-крае поглощения цинка и меди показали, что в образцах, напыленных на поликор и оксид алюминия толщиной 3 и 5 мкм, большая часть атомов меди находится в соединении Cu2S, тогда как в образце, напыленном на слой оксида алюминия толщиной 1 мкм, атомы меди формируют на поверхности образца металлические частицы. Наличие кристаллической меди оказывает влияние на межатомное расстояние Zn-S для образца с толщиной слоя пористого Al2O3 1 мкм: оно меньше по сравнению с характерным для других образцов.

Published: February 2017

Методом молекулярной динамики проведено моделирование генерации дискретных бризеров в кристалле состава A3B на примере Pt3Al путем приложения к атомам случайных однонаправленных импульсов, моделирующих воздействие потока частиц. Выявлены два возможных механизма возбуждения щелевых дискретных бризеров с мягким типом нелинейности в зависимости от энергии частиц в потоке. В случае если частица способна передавать атому Al энергию более 1.4 eV, возбуждение дискретного бризера может происходить единственной частицей. В противном случае образование дискретного бризера происходит при множественных столкновениях частиц с атомами Al, что возможно только при достаточно высокой плотности частиц, поскольку каждая следующая частица должна передавать свой импульс атому Al прежде, чем затухнут его колебания, вызванные предыдущими частицами.

Методом малоуглового рассеяния нейтронов исследована внутренняя структура пустых пористых микро- и макропористых магнитных стекол и нанокомпозитов на их основе, содержащих внедренные в поры NaNO2 и KNO3. Получены оценки характерных размеров частиц магнетита в матрицах и размеров наночастиц внедренных сегнетоэлектрических материалов. Показано, что в микропористых стеклах при 0.35 nm-1<Q<1.7 nm-1 в рассеянии наблюдаются две характерные области: первая хорошо соответствует закону Порода Q-4 (гладкой поверхности), а вторая --- массовому фракталу, отражающему внутреннюю структуру каналов в микропористом стекле. Для макропористых стекол во всей области 0.35 nm-1<Q<1.7 nm-1 интенсивность рассеяния I(Q)~ Q-n c alpha=3.96±0.02, т. е. в этих стеклах присутствует система каналов с достаточно гладкой поверхностью.

Проведено экспериментальное исследование возбуждения кильватерных полей в диэлектрической структуре последовательностью сгустков релятивистских электронов и ускорения в них других сгустков той же последовательности при введении расстройки частоты следования сгустков относительно частоты кильватерного поля, возбуждаемого в диэлектрической структуре на черенковском резонансе. Сгустки первой части последовательности возбуждают кильватерную волну, а сгустки второй части последовательности, сдвигаясь в ускоряющую фазу, приобретают дополнительную энергию. Исследована возможность регулировки числа сгустков, возбуждающих кильватерное поле в структуре, и числа последующих ускоряемых сгустков путем изменения величины расстройки.

Ethical intelligence: Espousing African Ubuntu philosophical business approach with Jewish business ethics systems as panacea for corporate failure in Africa
Authors: Mashingaidze Sivave
Published: February 2017

The objective of this article is to espouse the indispensability of Jewish ethics system with African Ubuntu Philosophy as a panacea for reduction of corporate failure in Africa. This much has been demonstrated in the article with heavy reliance on descriptive phenomenology and secondary sources of data as methodology. The article found that in all the national codes of corporate governance in Africa the need for actively managing the ethical performance of companies is not emphasized but the codes are there in their books. The article again recommends an urgent need for enforcing the Jewish ethical system and the King III code together with the implementation of laws, enforcement of sanctions and strengthening of institutions of governance on a continuous basis
Where to make an investment? If home political risk occurs
Authors: Wu Wen-Lin
Published: February 2017

n this paper, we put political risk into the model of international asset allocation to analyze international investors’ decisions. We assume that when home investors have perceived home political risks, they override other factors of their portfolio decision and move to hold more foreign assets to hedge those risks. To model political risk, we use a stochastic differential equation with a Poisson jump diffusion process to simulate international asset allocation. The numerical result confirms our hypothesis, i.e., foreign bias exists. That is, home investors would prefer to hold more foreign assets than the optimal asset allocation to hedge against home political risk
Lesson learnt from quality CEO – Creativity development for learning organization with impacts
Authors: Mo-Ching Yeung Shirley
Published: February 2017

The purpose of this paper is to explore the factors to develop creativity for building a learning organization. Methods of developing creativity from a quality CEO have also been investigated. This paper draws conclusions from a qualitative content analysis with reporting on the CEO of Apple in 2011 to identify the key factors for a quality CEO to develop creativity. After reviewing literature on leadership, management, quality, learning organization and carry out content analysis of reporting on Apple CEO, it has been found that individual attributes – persistence, observation, passion and belief; and perception of task – value creation and target customer education affect the success of strategy implementation in product innovation. An environment with freedom and culture is needed for creativity; and involved parties need to enjoy the implementation process with a spirit of innovation. Though the findings are of managerial relevant to business management, validation of the model with quantitative data is required for a holistic view of building a sustainable learning organization. The ultimate output of the paper is a model of developing creativity for a learning organization. Therefore, management of organizations shall consider these findings when motivating staff to develop creativity. The paper details the elements for developing creativity in a learning organization; and this is important for the sustainability of different kinds of organizations in the business world
Northrop Frye and R.S. Crane
Authors: Denham Robert D.
Published: February 2017

This article explores the relationship between Northrop Frye and R.S. Crane, a connection resulting from their several contacts with each other in the 1950s, before the publication of Anatomy of Criticism. Frye was influenced by the neo-Aristotelian Crane, sometimes obliquely, and Crane was aware of the theoretical power of Frye as it had begun to emerge from four essays he had published in the Kenyon Review and the University of Toronto Quarterly. This article looks at what resulted from these two critics having rubbed up against each other.
Exergy Analysis of Solid Fuel-Fired Heat and Power Plants: A Review
Authors: Eboh Francis , Ahlström Peter , Richards Tobias
Published: February 2017

The growing demand for energy is particularly important to engineers with respect to how the energy produced by heat and power plants can be used efﬁciently. Formerly, performance evaluation of thermal power plants was done through energy analysis. However, the energy method does not account for irreversibilities within the system. An effective method to measure and improve efﬁciency of thermal power plant is exergy analysis. Exergy analysis is used to evaluate the performance of a system and its main advantage is enhancement of the energy conversion process. It helps identify the main points of exergy destruction, the quantity and causes of this destruction, as well as show which areas in the system and components have potential for improvements. The current study is a comprehensive review of exergy analyses applied in the solid fuels heat and power sector, which includes coal, biomass and a combination of these feedstocks as fuels. The methods for the evaluation of the exergy efﬁciency and the exergy destruction are surveyed in each part of the plant. The current review is expected to advance understanding of exergy analysis and its usefulness in the energy and power sectors: it will assist in the performance assessment, analysis, optimization and cost effectiveness of the design of heat and power plant systems in these sectors.
Referring physician perceptions of picture archive and communication systems

Published: February 2017

The picture archive and communication system (PACS) is a digital radiographic system that is steadily replacing the older film-based radiographic records. Despite the various benefits associated with PACS implementation, it is not yet clear what referring physicians think of such systems. This article reviews their thoughts and perceptions, which were obtained via surveys that were completed by referring physicians with practices at private hospitals in Port Elizabeth. A critical analysis of the data collected indicated that most referring physicians perceive PACS to be beneficial.

Currently, there has been limited established specific set of criteria for personnel promotion to each level of the organization. This study is conducted in order to develop a personnel promotion strategy by identifying specific sets of criteria for each level of the organization. The complexity of identifying the criteria set along with the subjectivity of these criteria require the use of multi-criteria decision-making approach particularly the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Results show different sets of criteria for each management level which are consistent with several frameworks in literature. These criteria sets would help avoid mismatch of employee skills and competencies and their job, and at the same time eliminate the issues in personnel promotion such as favouritism, glass ceiling, and gender and physical attractiveness preference. This work also shows that personality and traits, job satisfaction and experience and skills are more critical rather than social capital across different organizational levels. The contribution of this work is in identifying relevant criteria in developing a personnel promotion strategy across organizational levels.

O ensino de história e o protagonismo discente: desafios na Amazônia rondoniense
Authors: Pesovento Adriane , Rodrigues Denise Pereira , Hell Janiny Kélvia Pisoler
Published: February 2017

A disciplina de História é geralmente vista como matéria de difícil entendimento por parte dos educandos. Tal constatação decorre do fato de que uma significativa parcela dos educandos não reconhece a relevância do estudo do passado num tempo presente repleto de informações e novidades. Para alguns analistas, esta situação decorre da falta de diálogo em sala entre docente e discente, bem como da ausência de conexão e problematização entre o passado estudado e o presente vivido, que influencia negativamente o processo de ensino-aprendizagem da história, visto que os estudantes continuam a percebê-la como uma  linha do tempo com sucessivos acontecimentos factuais apesar de toda a crítica a essa abordagem, na qual os fatos são narrados em ordem cronológica e de certo modo evolutiva. Para pensar possíveis abordagens metodológicas que transformem a percepção dos educando em relação à História ensinada, o presente estudo visa problematizar as questões observadas durante as atividades do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação a Docência – PIBID, realizadas no 7º ano do ensino fundamental da Escola E. E. F. e M. Cândido Portinari, no município de Rolim de Moura, na Amazônia rondoniense. A partir das informações levantadas com entrevistas semi-estruturadas e observações, procura-se refletir acerca da denominada perspectiva “tradicional” e das “novas” possibilidades metodológicas no fazer histórico em sala de aula. A perspectiva refere-se a pensá-las como posturas que valorizam a relação entre o passado e o presente por meio da história local e consequentemente possibilitem aos educandos se verem como sujeitos históricos.
