Room revenue is one of the biggest revenues in the hotel industry which is cited in the literature contributed 70-75% to total hotel revenue. Due to these roles, extant studies have been done in room revenue management. This study applied archival data to answer the proposed research questions. Prior to conducting empirical research personal approaches have been done by contacting directly hotel managers in resort area of Nusa Dua Bali to see the possibility of obtaining theneeded data. We got information that data on revenues especially rooms were prohibited for research activities. It may only be used for internal hotel use only. The managerial implications of this study are the following. First, that the management of MBLH hotel should design itsroom rate structures in such a way that could capture the dynamics of the seasons and guest segments. Second, that the management of MBLH hotel should review its policy on marketing especially on room rates contracts with all of its partners. The findings of this study areapplicable only for the MBLH hotel and thus they cannot be generalized for hotels in Bali. Second, the length of daily observation covered only for 488 daily observations. It needs a longer daily observation to achieve a better result. Based on those limitations it is strongly suggested to conduct a similar study covering all classes of hotels all over Bali province with longer daily observations.

The dispute mechanism causes the forming price to be further of closer to its intrinsic value. Greater the divergence of opinion, causes greater the gap between the price and its’ intrinsic value. This study tests a new condition that reflects the existence of agency conflict, which is the conditions of stock price premium and stock price discount and related to agency cost control mechanism through foreign and domestic institutional ownership. The two conditions then called as price spread. This study tests four interrelated hypotheses in conditions of stock price premium and stock price discount that related to agency cost, foreign institutional ownership and domestic institutional ownership. Analysis method employs complete structural equation model (SEM), and multigroup SEM with constrained and unconstrained parameters. The direction of the study results consistent with result prediction. Nevertheless, there is one insignificant relationship, which is domestic institutional ownership towards agency cost.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of urinary bladder lavage on in-hospital recurrence of urethral obstruction (UO) and durations of urinary catheter retention and hospitalization for male cats.

DESIGN Randomized controlled clinical trial.

ANIMALS 137 male cats with UO.

PROCEDURES Following random allocation, cats either did (flush group; n = 69) or did not (no-flush group; 68) undergo urinary bladder lavage with saline (0.9% NaCl) solution after alleviation of the obstruction and placement of a urethral catheter. Signalment, prior history of UO, presence of crystalluria, difficulty of urinary tract catheterization, in-hospital UO recurrence rate, and durations of urinary catheter retention and hospitalization were compared between the flush and no-flush groups.

RESULTS Baseline characteristics did not differ significantly between the 2 treatment groups. The in-hospital UO recurrence rate (9/69 [13%]) and median durations of urinary catheter retention (37 hours; range, 3 to 172 hours) and hospitalization (3 days; range, 0.5 to 12 days) for the flush group did not differ significantly from the in-hospital UO recurrence rate (13/68 [19%]) and median durations of urinary catheter retention (36 hours; range, 1 to 117 hours) and hospitalization (3 days; range, 1 to 9 days) for the no-flush group.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that, for male cats with UO, urinary bladder lavage at the time of urethral catheterization had no significant effect on in-hospital recurrence rate of the condition, duration of urinary catheter retention, or duration of hospitalization; however, additional studies are necessary to validate or refute these findings.

OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalences of anemia and various RBC anomalies in dogs with lymphoma versus inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to evaluate potential relationships between these variables and the severity of lymphoma.

DESIGN Retrospective cross-sectional study.

ANIMALS 82 client-owned dogs.

PROCEDURES Medical records and blood smears were reviewed for dogs in which IBD or lymphoma had been diagnosed between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2014, and for healthy dogs evaluated during that time frame. Hematologic data were analyzed, and results were compared among groups of healthy dogs, dogs with IBD, and dogs with lymphoma. Results were also compared within the lymphoma group between dogs further grouped on the basis of lymphoma clinical stage, substage, and cell size.

RESULTS Prevalence of anemia was significantly higher in dogs with lymphoma (17/32 [53%]) than in dogs with IBD (5/23 [22%]). The total number of different RBC anomalies was significantly higher in dogs with lymphoma than in dogs that were healthy or had IBD. A cutoff of 3 different RBC anomalies/dog enabled differentiation between lymphoma and IBD, with a sensitivity and specificity of 71% and 70%, respectively (area under the fitted curve, 0.7239 ± 0.0727). The presence of eccentrocytes was the only individual RBC anomaly significantly more common in dogs with lymphoma (8/28 [29%]) versus dogs with IBD (1/23 [4%]).

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggested that detection of anemia combined with ≥ 3 RBC morphological anomalies, particularly eccentrocytes, on blood smears should increase the clinical suspicion of lymphoma, compared with IBD, in dogs.
External Morphology of Pinus Timleri Seed Cones From the Neogene of the Lower Rhenish Basin, W Germany
Authors: Gossmann Rolf , Knaus Philipp L.
Published: February 2019

The external morphology of Pinus timleri seed cones is described from exceptionally well preserved cones and cone fragments from the Lower Rhenish Basin (Germany). The seed cones are asymmetric with a smooth side and erect umbos on the apophyses of the other side. We hypothesise that the smooth side presents the shadow-exposed side while the side with more erect umbos is the light-exposed side as in many extant Pinus seed cones.
Nosy Be (Madagascar) and the neighbouring islands versus tourism development
Authors: Jędrusik Maciej Henryk
Published: February 2019

Madagascar is one of the trendiest holiday destinations. One of two key destinations is Nosy Be and surrounding smaller islands. It can be considered a local tourist hub. This work aims to illustrate the variability of the region’s tourism evolution in reference to Butler’s concept, and to specify circumstances characteristic of tropical islands, especially in less developed countries. Typology of islands has been performed according to level of tourism development; moreover, the brief evolution of post-1960s tourism development was assessed. The archipelago’s evolutionary stages of tourism development are significantly diversified, evolution has been non-linear and not always unidirectional. It is difficult to observe all stages of the cycle. The stage tends to be hard to determine, evolutionary pace tends to vary, and some stages are absent. Regional under-development and external factors may cause a regression in development. No stage changes were observed on most islands where enclave tourism developed.

Processes and organizational innovation for small businesses
Authors: Carvalho Proença Joaquim Jose , Jiménez Sáez Fernando
Published: February 2019

Dynamic capabilities to innovate can be acquired regardless of the size of a company, but this requires that users participating in innovation processes be identified (value proposition segments) and the way organizations interact with these users be understood (processes). Small businesses can innovate with fewer financial and human resources using Customer Discovery, environment scanning, immersion, customer journey mapping, Customer Validation with validation of ideas and solutions in dynamic group sessions, Gamification, Design Thinking and prototyping workshops. The methodology used herein is that of literature review in the areas of process, products and dynamic capabilities innovation of companies. The objective of this research is to explore innovative processes that take into account and involve greater user collaboration that small businesses can exploit, which are targeted at the end user. Innovation does not have to be uncertain or expensive and can be developed through organizational innovation and innovation of collaborative processes with users.
Strategic archetypes in Mexican metalworking SMEs: differences in innovation and absorptive capacity over performance
Authors: Nava Rogel Rosa María , Mercado-Salgado Patricia , Martínez-Serna María del Carmen
Published: February 2019

After several years of booming, today the Mexican metalworking industry faces a complex environment largely due to foreign policy changes. Nevertheless, most small-and-medium-sized entrepreneurs do not perceive what is to come because they are busy attending the demands of the present market, which has allowed them to obtain a stable performance in the short term. This research analyzes the explanatory value of innovation and potential absorption capacity, which was conducted on the performance of different strategic archetypes in small-and-medium-sized entrepreneurs of the Mexican metalworking industry, based on the typology proposed by Miles and Snow (1978). With data from surveys applied to 197 SMEs in three regions of Mexico, a non-experimental transactional quantitative-correlational type of research was developed. Half of the interviewees were found to be analysts, for whom innovation and potential absorptive capacity have an explanatory value of 32.3% on performance. The rest of the interviewees feature defender archetypes, in which innovation has an explanatory value of 56.8%. According to Chow’s Test, these differences are not significant in the final performance result. It is concluded that small-and-medium-sized business analysts and advocates develop capacities that allow them to make the necessary adjustments that the environment dictates along the way, generating different competitive advantages that help them achieve similar results in the short term.
Care Ethics and Crisis Communication: Examining Two Experiences in South America
Authors: Contreras-Pacheco Orlando E.
Published: February 2019

Framed by the normative dimension of the crisis communication literature, this study examines and compares the messages conveyed by two large companies in the South American extractive industry when dealing with catastrophic crises. By focusing on the application of the ethics of care principles, this study illustrates two divergent ways of conducting interpersonal relationships and benevolence as a virtue when communicating with stakeholders in the aftermath of two recent socio-environmental disasters involving human losses in Venezuela and Brazil. For this purpose, the offending companies’ official responses obtained from various public sources are analyzed, both within and across the two cases, in light of a proposed outline of the theoretical framework at issue. The results show the contrasting ways in which these companies approached their stakeholders through crisis responses when referring to crisis casualties. Furthermore, the study compares the two cases’ backgrounds and argues that the socio-political context influences the corporate decisions on crisis responses.

Sequence Isomerism in Uniform Polyphosphoesters Programmes Self-Assembly and Folding
Authors: Appukutti Nadeema , Serpell Christopher
Published: February 2019

Non-natural sequence-defined polymers have the potential to recapitulate the unique structures and functions of proteins. To achieve this goal requires not only high-efficiency synthesis platforms, but also an understanding of the relationship between sequence and folding/self-assembly. In a step towards that goal, we have here exploited the high-yielding solid phase phosphoramidite synthesis commonly used to make DNA, and generated two sequence-isomeric polymers which display sequence-programmed folding and self-assembly. These findings open up possibilities for more sophisticated sequence/structure relationships using the same synthetic platform.
Rhodium(I)-Catalysed Aryl C–H Carboxylation of 2-Arylanilines with CO2
Authors: gao yuzhen , Cai Zhihua , Li Shangda , Li Gang
Published: February 2019

An unprecedented amino-group assisted C–H carboxylation of 2-arylanilines with CO2 under redox-neutral conditions using a Rhodium(I)-catalyst has been developed. This reaction was promoted by a phosphine ligand with t-BuOK as the base and did not require the use of an extra strong organometallic reagent. Notably, this protocol may involve an oxidative addition in the C–H bond cleavage step and is distinct from previous Rh(I) or Rh(II)-catalysed methods for C–H carboxylation with CO2 mechanistically. It enabled an efficient direct conversion of a broad range of 2-(hetero)arylanilines including electron-deficient heteroarenes to various phenanthridinones, which could be further transformed to other synthetically useful compounds readily. Preliminary mechanistic studies were carried out and possible intermediates of the reaction were evaluated, which revealed that the Rh(I)-catalyst is essential for the C–H activation process, providing a promising general type of method for utilization of CO2 for C–C bond formation.
