The Economics of Networking
Authors: Sørensen Olav Jull
Published: June 2020

Networks are finally accepted as a governance structure of their own. They are not a transitory and unstable form, which eventually will become a hierarchy or a market. In fact networks seem to be the most important way to organise economic activity within the framework of globalisation, the knowledge society and the deep technological changes taking place. Networks seem to appear whenever turmoil or even chaos prevails. The Network Theory contests classical undersocialised theories by viewing economic and business activity as socially embedded. Business activity is conducted in a co-operative and trustful atmosphere. Writings on the Network Theory, however, tend to be oversocialised. Economic activity is assumed but not explicitly dealt with. This paper aims to discuss classical economic issues (profit objectives, transaction costs, optimal decision making, uncertainty and risk, innovation etc.) and how the Network Theory accommodates these classical economic and business issues. At the end of the paper, implications for management and research are briefly outlined, indicating that with the Network Theory coming of age, it is essential to more explicitly formulate the theory as an economic theory which strikes a better balance between the economic and the human side.

Knowledge Marketing: a Postmodern Approach
Authors: Augustinaitis Arūnas
Published: June 2020

Knowledge is presented in various discourses and in different methodological contexts, as generally reduced to modern and postmodern patterns. The methodological assumptions of knowledge marketing are analyzed and practical orientations concordant with the realities of a knowledge society are formulated. The main purpose is to reveal the distinctions between the classical modern modes of rationalization and the information or knowledge model of rationalization, which the author asserts is based on the conception of legitimative trans-informationality grand discourse. Two types of knowledge identities characterize the market and reflect knowledge transfer in social and professional generalization of knowledge.
Plagiarism, Trade-Dress and the Value of Design
Authors: Kristensen Tore , Gabrielsen Gorm , Wilke Ricky , Zaichowsky Judy
Published: June 2020

The distinctive identity of a brand has enormous commercial importance. When a competitor copies that identity with a cheaper inferior product, it can jeopardize the heavy investment in creating and designing products. The identification of the original versus a plagiarized knockoff is a critical issue in the marketplace. However; even when the identity is clear; a remaining issue is whether consumers are willing to pay a premium price for the original product. We use conjoint analysis to investigate the identification and valuation of an original vs. a copy. The willingness to pay for the original depends on the competence or knowledge of the consumer. We suggest ways of identifying “trade dress” by distinguishing among the utilitarian, systemic or symbolic aspects of a product.

The Evaluation of the Impact of Macroeconomic Indicators on the Performance of Listed Real Estate Companies and Reits
Authors: Cohen Viktorija , Burinskas Arūnas
Published: June 2020

Using quarterly data from 2006:Q1 to 2019:Q3 (55 observations), this paper examines 18 Eurozone macroeconomic variables that represent monetary policy, external and construction sectors’ performance, economic growth, investment, households’ earnings, inflation and assesses their impact on the performance of the European listed real estate companies and REITs. Empirical results demonstrate that the European listed real estate market is strongly influenced by the supply side: the construction sector and the inflation of producers’ prices; while the demand side is strongly affected by the expansionary monetary policy of ECB. Furthermore, some primary findings propose that US expansionary monetary policy shocks have an effect on the European listed real estate market. This conclusion demands further thorough research.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la efectividad de la práctica mental (PM), práctica física (PF) y su combinación (PC) en el desempeño de la destreza de dribbling de hockey de salón y la actividad eléctrica del músculo (AEM) braquiorradial del antebrazo dominante. Un total de 27 estudiantes universitarios de primer año de carrera en Ciencias del Movimiento Humano, sin experiencia previa en la destreza, fueron asignados aleatoriamente a uno de tres grupos (PF, PM y PC). El desempeño de la destreza fue evaluado por medio del tiempo total utilizando fotoceldas SmartspeedPro y la AEM se midió con un electromiograma Noraxon M400. La investigación se desarrolló en dos sesiones. En la primera sesión se realizó el pretest, la práctica experimental según el grupo correspondiente y el posttest del desempeño y AEM. En la segunda sesión, una semana después, se evaluó el desempeño en una prueba de retención. Al aplicar un análisis de varianza (ANOVA) de 2 vías mixto [grupo (3) x medición (3)] se encontró que el desempeño de los tres grupos mejoró significativamente en la prueba de adquisición y retención. El ANOVA de 2 vías mixto [grupo (3) x medición (2)] indicó que no hubo diferencias significativas en la AEM. La PF, PM y PC favorecieron el aprendizaje de la destreza, sin embargo, no se encontró cambios en la actividad eléctrica del músculo braquiorradial del antebrazo dominante.
Determining of the laser heat flux for three-dimensional conduction model by the sequential method
Authors: Long Nguyen Nhat Phi , Nguyen Son Hoai , Quan Nguyen
Published: June 2020

When performing a laser processing, one of the parameters to consider is the laser heat flux. This is a very important parameter of the processing. It is difficult to directly and correctly measure this parameter during the processing. Therefore, to estimate this parameter, a solution has been implemented. In this study, the Newton--Raphson method has been calibrated as an operational algorithm to evaluate the laser heat flux value accurately in the 3-D conduction model. The outstanding features in this algorithm: the unaware absorption coefficient's functional form is no preset, and the nonlinear least-squares are no necessary. To confirm the effectiveness of the presented method, the paper has given two specific applications. Indeed, in this research, based on the results that have been achieved in two illustrations, the sequential method to determine the inversely laser heat flux in the three-dimensional conduction model is a reasonable, correct, and powerful method.

Authors: Rossi Pedro , Araujo Eliane , Barbosa-Filho Nelson H.
Published: June 2020

Resumo Este artigo analisa o ajustamento da equação da paridade coberta da taxa de juros para a relação entre a moeda brasileira e o dólar americano. O objetivo é avaliar a resposta de curto prazo das taxas de câmbio à vista e futura aos choques no diferencial de juros e no risco país. A investigação econométrica mostra que o ajustamento da paridade coberta no Brasil ocorre com o movimento das taxas de câmbio à vista e futura na mesma direção - de apreciação cambial diante do aumento do diferencial de juros e de depreciação cambial no caso do aumento do risco país -, mas com uma volatilidade maior da taxa de câmbio à vista.

Published: June 2020

ABSTRACT Objective To associate body image with sociodemographic profile, lifestyle, anthropometry and health conditions in adult women. Methods Prevalence study, conducted in a probabilistic cluster sample (n=35 Primary Education Schools) conducted in 2016 with 633 teachers. Sociodemographic characteristics were evaluated; morbidities, anthropometric variables; subjective health issues; lifestyle and self-reported morbidities. Results The prevalence of body image dissatisfaction was 48.7%. There was a greater chance of dissatisfaction among older women who have children, unsatisfactory lifestyle, are overweight, with poor health/poor self-perception of health, and the presence of depressive symptoms. Women who had a poor lifestyle had a four-fold greater chance of dissatisfaction with body appearance (Odds Ratio=4.193) than women who had a satisfactory lifestyle. Conclusion The results revealed that almost half of the adult women surveyed in this study reported dissatisfaction with their body image. This outcome indicates the need for interventions and program implementation related to body image dissatisfaction among women.
Bíblia e império: a Miscelánea Antártica (1586) de Miguel Cabello Valboa e a teoria ofírica sobre a origem dos ameríndios
Authors: Carvalho Francismar Alex Lopes de
Published: June 2020

Resumo Nos séculos XVI e XVII, um intenso debate foi travado sobre a origem dos índios americanos. Os autores, religiosos, juristas e funcionários da Coroa espanhola, buscavam nos textos do Antigo Testamento as passagens que pudessem explicar a existência dessa outra humanidade. Quem eram os ameríndios? Como ali chegaram? Que direitos teriam os espanhóis de incorporar aquelas terras e gentes ao seu império? Este texto analisa a posição peculiar, nesse debate, da obra Miscelánea Antártica, escrita pelo clérigo espanhol Miguel Cabello Valboa, em 1586. Trata-se de um extenso manuscrito cuja importância reside não apenas em ter sido um dos primeiros trabalhos a enfrentar o assunto, como também em oferecer uma interpretação que evitava apresentar uma visão negativa dos nativos. Em sua leitura muito particular da Bíblia, Cabello Valboa definia uma genealogia altamente positiva para os índios, remontando a Ofir e, por extensão, a Sem, filho de Noé. Sua apresentação favorável das culturas andinas completava-se, sem escamotear a violência da conquista, com a ênfase na mestiçagem como caminho conciliatório.

Educación jurídica e innovación tecnológica: un ensayo crítico
Authors: Maldonado Daniel Bonilla
Published: June 2020

Resumen El artículo se divide en tres partes. En la primera, describo tres de las respuestas más frecuentes a la pregunta: “¿por qué es necesario, importante o urgente que se incorpore la innovación tecnológica en la educación jurídica?”. Las primeras dos respuestas están relacionadas directamente con agentes del mercado que demandan educación jurídica: los estudiantes de derecho y las firmas de abogados. Por un lado, la literatura jurídica que se ocupa de este tema argumenta que las facultades de derecho deben innovar en materia tecnológica para satisfacer las expectativas y necesidades de las nuevas generaciones de estudiantes de derecho. Por el otro, la literatura argumenta que se debe alcanzar este fin para satisfacer las expectativas y necesidades de las firmas de abogados, que son quienes contratan a los nuevos graduandos de las facultades de derecho. La tercera respuesta señala que la innovación tecnológica en las facultades de derecho es necesaria porque permite que los estudiantes alcancen los objetivos de aprendizaje más eficazmente. En la segunda parte, ofrezco mis críticas a las dos primeras respuestas, aquellas que reaccionan y quieren satisfacer las necesidades tanto del mercado de servicios jurídicos como del mercado de servicios educativos. Esta crítica se fundamenta en una lectura heideggeriana de la tecnología. En la tercera parte, presento mis críticas a la tercera respuesta, aquella que conecta estrechamente los fines pedagógicos que persiguen la educación jurídica con la innovación tecnológica. En esta sección del escrito argumento (i) que la tercera respuesta se ve debilitada por la falacia naturalista; (ii) no fundamenta empíricamente sus conclusiones, o no lo hace suficientemente, y presenta algunos de sus argumentos empíricos como absolutos aunque no exista un consenso en la comunidad legal, científica o educativa en torno a ellos; (iii) no ofrece argumentos precisos y detallados que muestren como la innovación tecnológica permite alcanzar los objetivos que usualmente persigue de la educación legal; y (iv) oscurece la relación que existe entre tecnología y poder en la educación jurídica.

Authors: Duarte Carlos Eduardo , Neves Raquel Almeida Lopes , Duarte Fernanda Cappi Santos , Passuello Guilherme Gaeski
Published: June 2020

Introduction: The pandemic caused by the new coronavirus brought difficulties to global health and the economy. The race for an effective therapy to control the disease is launched, and an understanding of the pathophysiology is necessary. The BCG (bacillus Calmette–Guérin) vaccine activates and modulates innate immunity, and its protective effect against the new coronavirus should be investigated. Objective: To compare the incidence, mortality, and lethality rates of COVID-19 according to the vaccination program for BCG of the main countries affected by the pandemic. Methods: The second of three phases of a data survey was carried out from official sources on the number of cases and number of deaths by COVID-19 between April 11 and May 11, 2020, and the incidence, mortality and lethality rates were calculated and compared among predefined groups according to their BCG vaccination programs. In the same way, the acceleration rate between the groups in the period under analysis was performed. Results: Similar to the results found in the first phase in April, the countries without an active BCG vaccine program had, on average, 3.96, 9.34, and 2.35 (p < 0.001) higher ratios in the incidence, mortality and lethality rates, respectively. Conclusion: There is a protective connection between the presence of active BCG vaccination programs and the number of cases and deaths per inhabitant in the countries studied, showing a possible cross effect of innate immunity against the new coronavirus.

Published: June 2020

Kentler tarih boyunca insanların temel ihtiyaçlarından biri olan su ihtiyacını karşılamak için deniz, ırmak veya göl kenarlarına kurulmuşlardır. Bu nedenle kıyı alanları ile halk ve kent arasında tarih boyunca geliştirilmiş bir iletişim bulunmaktadır. Kentleşmenin artması ile bu ilişki kıyılara her açıdan zarar vermeye başlamıştır. Gelişmiş ülkeler çeşitli yöntemlerle bu durumu en aza indirmiş ve insan-su, kent-deniz ilişkisinin kaybolmasını engellemiştir. Gelişmekte olan ülkeler bu konuda yetersiz kalmıştır. Trabzon dolgu alanları ile denizden uzaklaştırılmıştır. Beşirli mahallesinde yer alan kıyı şeridinde yapılan anket çalışmaları ile kullanıcıların, ulaşım yetersizliği başta olmak üzere, hava kirliliği, koku ve bakımsızlık sorunlarından kaynaklanan kıyı şeridi kullanım alışkanlıklarının azaldığı saptanmıştır. Çalışmada insanların tekrar su ve kıyı ile iletişime geçmesini kolaylaştıracak, bölgenin fauna ve florasına katkı sağlayacak ve şehrin estetik önemini arttırarak bölgenin vurgu noktalarından birisi olmasını sağlayacak bir ekolojik köprü önerilmiştir.

In the rheumatic heart disease, mitral stenosis was the predominant lesion and PBMV was done in four (13.7%) cases. In CRHD cases, surgically corrected by prosthetic heart valve were -11 (37.9%). In CRHD total corrected cases, by prosthetic heart valve and percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy (PBMV) account for 51.7%. One patient had PBMV procedure during 5th month of present pregnancy i/v/o severe mitral stenosis with mitral valve area -0.8 cm2 and another patient had PBMV during her first pregnancy. In this study 42% were in NYHA class I. 14% were in NYHA class IV. CHF was seen in 10%. Termination of pregnancy was necessary in 6 with CHD and 5 with CRHD. There were 39 deliveries with one set of twins. All the babies were alive. Maternal mortality was confirmed in one case with Eisenmenger’s syndrome + HELLP syndrome. Live birth rate was higher in cases with NYHA class I/II than in those with NYHA class III/IV (82.8% versus 66.60%).Conclusions: Management by a pregnancy heart team as per guidelines would reduce mortality.

Endometrial preparation using gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist prior to frozen-thawed embryo transfer in women with repeated implantation failure: An RCT
Authors: Davar Robab , Dashti Saeideh , Omidi Marjan
Published: June 2020

Background: Preparation of endometrial thickness in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) is extremely important, particularly in repeated implantation failure (RIF) patients.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of FET cycles among RIF women, based on the effects of administering gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist prior to estrogen-progesterone preparation of the endometrium.
Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 67 infertile women who were candidates for FET were divided into two groups: A) case group (n = 34), treated with GnRH agonist prior to endometrial preparation and B) control group (n = 33), which received the routine protocol. (6 mg daily estradiol started from second day) The clinical outcomes) including chemical and clinical pregnancy, in addition to implantation rates, were compared between the two groups.
Results: The results showed no significant differences in women’s age (p = 0.558), duration (p = 0.540), type (p = 0.562), and cause of infertility (p = 0.699). Regarding pregnancy and implantation rates, there was a trend toward an increase in the case group; however, differences were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Although our results showed no significant differences between groups. Because there are trends to better results in case group larger sample size may show significant difference.

Published: June 2020

Background: Studies have been conducted to improve the pregnancy rate through the in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) program. In recent years, researchers have been focusing on finding impact of high progesterone level on endometrial receptivity. However, data on whether progesterone level also affects the quality of the embryo is still limited.
Objective: The aim is to assess the effect of late follicular progesterone level on the outcome of in vitro fertilization-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI).
Materials and Methods: This was a case-control of 245 women who underwent in vitro fertilization cycle at Halim Fertility Center, Indonesia. The outcomes assessed were number of oocytes retrieved (OR), maturation rate (MR), fertilization rate (FR), number of good embryos (GE), number of fair embryos (FE), and number of poor embryos (PE). The progesterone (P4) and estradiol (E2) levels were analyzed on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin injection. Serum progesterone level was divided into three groups: 1. low progesterone (≤ 0.50 ng/ml), 2. normal progesterone (0.51-1.50 ng/ml), and 3. high progesterone (> 1.50 ng/ml). All outcomes were compared amongst the groups.
Results: Significant differences occurred between progesterone level on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin administration. The number of OR in group 1, 2, and 3 were 8.41 ± 5.88 vs. 12.99 ± 8.51 vs. 17.58 ± 9.52, respectively.
Conclusion: Progesterone level on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin injection may have an impact on the outcome of IVF-ICSI.

EMPLOYEE WORK-LIFE BALANCE, SATISFACTION AND BURNOUT IN IRAN AND SPAIN
Authors: Tavassoli Tara , Sunyer Albert
Published: June 2020

Purpose of the study: This research explores the effects of Work-Life Balance (WLB) on job and life satisfaction, and burnout in Iran and Spain. Besides, this research investigates the impact of WLB on organizational commitment and the mediating role of this factor on the studied outcomes. Methodology: This study uses confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling in AMOS to analyze a sample of 263 full-time employees. The sample includes employees from various sectors and firms. The same measurement scales, factors, and structural models were used in both studied countries. Main Findings: The results of this study confirm that there are positive relationships between WLB and job and life satisfaction and negative relationships between WLB and burnout in both countries. Furthermore, results confirm the partial mediating role of organizational commitment on WLB and the studied outcomes in a way that WLB has a positive impact on the organizational commitment which is, in turn, positively associated with job satisfaction and negatively related to cynicism in both country samples. Applications of this study: These findings involve that WLB has a positive impact on employees' outcomes. Therefore, organizations should implement and promote WLB policies as a means to increase their employees' satisfaction while reducing job burnout. Employers' attention to WLB should be prominent. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research is one of the first studies to investigate WLB outcomes in Middle-Eastern societies like Iran and compare them with western societies. The results show more similarities than differences between the two studied country samples, although few differences are found.
Sustainable Design of a NanoSatellite Structure TypeCubeSat as a Modular Platform for Tests

Published: June 2020

This article is intended to contribute to the development of proprietary technologies and the evaluation and selection of integrated technologies in the study of the aerospace concept necessary for the processes of technological appropriation. The problem addressed lies in the lack of modular platforms and lowcost test systems for experimental development and simulations of satellite systems. Therefore, compare to this the proposal of a scalable modular platform of the 1U CubeSat standard is presented as the main results. The design and characterization process presented from the concept of sustainability, contributes to the use and development of low-cost equipment that minimizes the impact on the environment and, in turn, is practical for its implementation in activities of groups and research centers that promote the diffusion of space technologies in Colombia. The methodology of sustainable design, the definition of design principles and conceptual design, which is materialized with the application of quality function deployment method (QFD), the theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ)), the manufacturability-oriented design (DfM), assemblability (DfA), environmental impact (DfE), reliability (DfR), and safety assessment, are relevant for compliance with the CubeSat operating standards described in cds. Finally, several constructive modes of the low cost test platforms are proposed with different materials such as 3D prototyping in paper, abs, mdf wood and aluminum. All of them are small-scale satellite structures designed and constructed at low-cost. These designs result in the materialization to test on-board systems and integration resistance in assembly and materials, in laboratories as vibration test-bench, for research groups or companies interested in promoting the development of space technologies.

Este artículo presenta el diseño y la implementación de un control mecánico por medio de cables y palancas, también conocidos como cables tipo Push-Pull para los comandos de vuelo de un motor PT6 61A. El propósito es controlar la condición del combustible, potencia del motor y posición angular de la hélice con el motor operando en tierra, mientras es controlado desde un banco de pruebas ubicado en el Comando Aéreo de Mantenimiento (CAMAN). La implementación del controlador se realizó con materiales aeronáuticos reciclados que, no obstante, proporcionan un margen de seguridad al operador, y así, salvaguardan la integridad del motor. Para llevar a cabo la práctica de este diseño se aplicó una metodología empírico analítica en la que destaca, principalmente, la caracterización del motor, adquisición, adecuación, construcción de los elementos de fijación, instalación y ajuste de las palancas mecánicas de cada comando. Con el objetivo de probar el desempeño del controlador mecánico propuesto con cables tipo Push-Pull, se realizaron pruebas con mezclas de combustible tradicional (JET A1) y biodiesel. Por último, los datos de temperatura, velocidad, torque y porcentaje (NG) adquiridos en cada prueba, facilitaron la comparación del funcionamiento del motor y el correcto desempeño del controlador.
