Valerie Beauty Clinic is a beauty care services company. The problem that arises is that even though the customer is still recorded in the recipe book, Valerie Beauty Clinic still has difficulty in providing information, products, schedule changes, changes in schedule services, events, or the latest things to customers. This problem occurs because all customers remain systemically unregulated. Another problem that arises is that all beauty products have not been recorded in a computerized database, this is what causes difficulties in conducting product data searches. Furthermore, customers also cannot do clients or suggestions and also good dissatisfaction because of the unavailability of media. If this is allowed to continue, customers can just go to another salon. The purpose of creating a website at the Valerie Beauty Clinic is to provide satisfying services to customers through a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) strategy by looking at existing problems. The methodology that will be used is conducting interviews, observations and literatures. With the existence of a website-based system with the implementation of CRM, it can facilitate customers and clinics in providing information, products, changes in schedule services, events, or the latest things to customers, computerize all products and provide clients with complaints or suggestions online.

Authors: Cazella Ademir Antonio , Dorigon Clóvis , Nunes Nesi Cristiano , Eloy Ludivine
Published: January 2020

The migration of family farmers to urban zones is usually analyzed in terms of rural exodus. This article uses the notion of multilocational families to discuss various flows of resources (food, finance and labor) among farm family members who remain on or live off-farm. Forty-nine farm families in western Santa Catarina were studied, chosen to contemplate the socioeconomic diversity of regional family farming. Among the main results it was found that half of these families are multi-locational and that farms inserted in competitive markets are more multi-located than those with less integration to these markets and lower income. The main resource exchanged is food from the farm sent to those who reside offsite, reinforcing the importance of production for self-consumption both for those who remain and for those who migrate, but who live close to and maintain ties with the family farm.Keywords: agroindustry; self-consumption; rural poverty.CAZELLA, Ademir Antonio; DORIGON, Clóvis; NESI, Cristiano Nunes; ELOY, Ludivine.

A rentabilidade dos produtores de soja no Paraguai: concentração e exclusão
Authors: Wesz Junior Valdemar João
Published: January 2020

Currently, soybean cultivation requires producers to have astute technological, managerial, financial and productive knowledge, especially because it is a standardized product, with an internationally defined price, based on global trade and controlled by transnational companies. The interaction between yield by area, cost of production and selling price defines whether the producer will end the production cycle with a positive or negative balance. The objective of this paper is to analyze the return of soybean production in Paraguay between 2002/03 and 2018/19, noting the variations over the years and their effects on producers. This study uses a qualitative and quantitative approach, such as literature review, statistical data analysis, questionnaire application with 77 soybean producers and 8 former producers and interviews with representatives of 45 companies in the sector. The results show that there is a strong variation in the net profit margin of soybeans according to the harvest year and the producer profile, whose most evident effect is the exclusion of some producers and the concentration in those with larger area and productive efficiency.Keywords: soybean market; farmers; profitability; Paraguay.WESZ JUNIOR, Valdemar João.

HAM DAN HUKUMAN MATI MENURUT ATURAN GEREJA KATOLIK: IMPLIKASI PASTORALNYA DI INDONESIA
Authors: Lon Yohanes
Published: January 2020

The enforcement of the death penalty in Indonesia has become a challenge for Indonesian Catholic Church in defending the dignity of human being and his right for life.  Through a literature study, this article will highlight the rule of Catholic Church o death penalty  and its implications for pastoral activities. The study argues that the dignity of human being is based on its nature as rational, free will and conscience creature. Moreover God has created human beings according to His own image and has redeemed them when destroyed by their own sins. Death penalty is essentially against the dignity of human being and human rights, especially the right to life. Therefore, its enforcement must consider the safety and protection of human rights. The death penalty is only allowed for extraordinary crimes against humanity and is carried out to protect the human rights of others as well as through fair, right and objective justice. The study concludes that in order  to protect human rights and the dignity of human being in Indonesia,  the Indonesian Catholic Church, through its pastoral works, must promote and defend the noble dignity of human beings and their right to life (pro life pastoral), carry out pastoral of forgiveness and of mercy to the setenced to death, criticize and oversee every trial which results in the death sentence to the defendant (critical prophetic pastoral).

Published: January 2020

This research is entitled Semiotic Analysis of Ideology Conflict (Media Analysis of Sociology in General Soedirman's Film). This research is based on the consideration that all things including films are not immune to the process and power relations. The presence of a film has a purpose and therefore has a certain meaning. This research focuses on the analysis of interarideological conflicts in the film General Soedirman. It is said, in the film, conflicts often occur in several segments. All conflicts are certainly based on certain roots and causes. Likewise, every conflict always has a certain dynamic. Whatever the reason, the dynamics of the conflict whether socially or symbolically in the film has a certain meaning. Therefore, the dynamics of the conflict can be analyzed and worth checking. The study uses Ralf Dahrendorf's conflict theory. The analysis of this study uses a qualitative interpretive concept. The method used as an analytical machine uses the Roland Barthes semiotics method. Roland Barthes' semiotics focuses the analysis of signs by looking at denotations, connotations and myths. The results showed a number of ideological conflicts that occurred in the film. Some of them are conflicts between narrow ideology of nationalism (chauvinism) vs. fascism, between nationalism vs. colonialism, between nationalism vs. communism, and communism vs. colonialism conflict. Understanding of ideological conflicts is urgently analyzed so that people are not manipulated by various ideas and ideas that emerge from certain regimes can be immediately overcome.

Published: January 2020

This paper researches the interaction between inscriptions facing east and those facing west in offering texts of the Graeco-Roman period, specifically those found in the temple of Hathor and the temple of Isis in Dendera. Continuing research performed by Christian Leitz, this paper argues that a pattern shown by Leitz in which the east side is active where the west is reflecting a state, is not an anomaly, but should actually be considered part of the ‘grammaire du temple’. Moreover, I show that this pattern is used during the reign of Cleopatra VII, and falls out of use during the reign of the emperor Augustus.

Transformation of Military Leadership as an Element Constituting Military Security
Authors: MALINOWSKI Piotr
Published: January 2020

The armed forces of NATO, the foundation of military security in the collective and individual sense, have been, for years, constituting the determinants shaping their interoperability and effectiveness. Such actions are taken with varying intensity by all members also in terms of military leadership. The scope and comprehensiveness of these actions mainly oscillate around the perception of leadership in the context of the tool for shaping interpersonal relationships. The goal of the organizational context, which less attention is put to, is the proper section and training of the leaders, who are not accidentally appointed, but were chosen on the basis of a thoughtful process. Therefore, in the area of leadership considered an important organizational phenomenon, a variety of transformations are carried out, which are intended to improve leadership and the units implementing them, so it is used for the benefit of the armed forces. The Polish armed forces have also undertaken such actions. Their scope is to be based on a broad analysis of leadership in conducted in 2018. However, ensuring the optimization of further action requires the recognition of the most significant leadership transformations that have been implemented by the Alliance’sleading armed forces and are a guarantor of substantially higher quality of military leadership. These transformations are described and discussed in this paper.

The present study evaluates the radiologic particularities of deformities in valgus that are necessary for a correct positioning in frontal and rotational plane of the prosthetic components and for a long term life of the polyethylene and the prosthetic implant. Long leg X-ray performed in orthostatism can evaluate the type and degree of the deformity in frontal plane, it can establish the osteotomy cuts and the necessity of ligament release. The anterior-posterior radiologic incidence of the knee in flexion of 900 evaluates the individual rotational profile by calculating the torsion of the distal femoral. Although the frequency of deformity in valgus is more reduced, it presents important clinical and radiologic particularities for the surgical technique.

The aim of this research was the synthesis of novel 2,3-disubstituted 1,3 thiazolidines, derived from 5-nitroindazole with antimicrobial activity and their encapsulation into polymer nanocapsules. Starting from previously synthesised hydrazones, there have been obtained novel thiazolidines by reaction with thioglycolic acid. The envisaged chemical structures were confirmed by spectral and elemental analysis. Two of the obtained thiazolidines were encapsulated into cationic Eudragit E100 nanocapsules, obtained by nanoprecipitation. In order to enhance drug release characteristics and particle stability, Eudragit E100 nanocapsules were covered with anionic polysaccharide (sodium alginate), thus forming a complex polyelectrolyte based membrane. The obtained nanocapsules presented a slower and more controlled drug release. The synthesized active principles, in free state and encapsulated into polymer nanocapsules, were tested for their acute toxicity and their influence on the development of model bacterial strains (Staphylococcus mutans, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella enteritidis, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus).

Sepsiis syndrome is a common and have devastating implications on health care systems worldwide. Biomarkers may have an important role to highlight the presence, absence or severity of sepsis. Retrospective study was conducted on a group of 81 patients with suspected sepsis, presented in the Emergency Department - Emergency County Hospital St. Spiridon Iasi during 01.09.2014-30.10.2014. The obtained statistical data�s were interpreted using SPSS software and the ROC curve was calculated. The study aims was to establish the following: determining the validity of presepsin as a biological marker in sepsis diagnosis and prognosis; sepsis stratification. The mean age of patients was 64.52 years. Determination of presepsin sensitivity in sepsis early diagnosis was calculated by generating the ROC curve. Following AUC values were found: AUC = 0.709, with a standard error of 0.065 for predicting sepsis; AUC = 0.866, with a standard error of 0.080 for severe sepsis; AUC = 0.864, with a standard error of 0.053 in the presence of septic shock. The average values of presepsin, related with severity of infection, it was found to be 544.39 � 141.93 pg./mL in case of localized infection; 605.6 � 59.55 pg./ mL in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome; 1283.21 � 195.74 pg./ mL in patients diagnosed with sepsis; 4787.8 � 1980.43pg./mL in patients presenting severe sepsis and 3734.88 � 1732.41pg./mL in patients diagnosed with septic shock. Presepsin level, measured by using quantitative dosage methods, may be helpful in staging patients diagnosed with sepsis and may be used as an indication for initiation of intensive therapy to prevent septic shock. Presepsin level can be used as an early marker of severe prognostic in septic patients.

Published: January 2020

The first part of the paper presents the influence of the processing temperature by injection of HDPE, of PMMA, and PC+ABS blend on the indentation hardness and on the indentation modulus, when other factors that can influence the injection remain unchanged. The second part of the paper presents the influence of subsequent pressure by injection of HDPE, PMMA, and PC+ABS blend on the indentation hardness and on the indentation modulus, when the other factors remain unchanged. The HDPE samples were obtained at the following injection temperatures: 180, 190, 200, 210, and 220�C, and at the following subsequent pressures: 800 bar, 900 bar, 1000 bar, 1100 bar, and 1200 bar. The PMMA samples were obtained at the following injection temperatures: 220, 230, 240, 250, and 260�C, and at the following subsequent pressures: 450, 550, 650 , 750, and 850 bar. The PC+ABS samples were obtained at the following injection temperatures: 230, 240, 250, 260, and 270�C, and at the following subsequent pressures: 500 bar, 600 bar, 700, 800, and 900 bar. The G-Series Basic Hardness Modulus at a Depth method was used to obtain the indentation hardness and the indentation modulus. It was observed that by increasing the processing temperature and subsequent pressure, in the case of HDPE, leads to an increase in indentation hardness and in indentation modulus. It was observed that increasing the processing temperature by injection in the case of PMMA, from 220 to 250�C, leads to a slight increase in indentation hardness and in indentation modulus, whereas increasing the subsequent pressure of PMMA, from 450 bar to 850 bar, leads to a slight decrease in indentation hardness and in the indentation modulus. Increasing the processing temperature by injection in the case of PC+ABS, from 230 to 250�C, leads to a slight increase in indentation hardness and in indentation modulus. By further increasing the processing temperature by injection, from 250 to 270�C, leads to a decrease in indentation hardness and in the indentation modulus. Alternatively, increasing the subsequent pressure from 500 bar to 900 bar leads to not only a decrease in indentation hardness but also to a decrease in the indentation modulus.

The fixed mixed prosthetic restorations (FMPRs) are often manufactured in dentistry. Fixed prosthetic restorations mixed (RPFM) are often used in dentistry. The aim of the study was the presentation of the deficiency and the differences arising between FMPRs with metallic framework plated with two types of dental resins, currently used frequently in Romania, Superpont C + B (Spofadental, Czech Republic) and Royaldent (Palatine Foggyart, Hungary). We have achieved at 102 patients, 132 FMPRs coated with Superpont C+B and Royaldent resins. Patients were divided into two equal groups according to dental polymer used for coating. Long-term study was conducted by biannual monitoring, over three years. The results of the study showed that both resins degrades over time, from the point of view of their physical appearance and their aesthetics, and induced the apparition of gingival inflammation, but restorations coated with Royaldent resin showed less irritation of the gingival tissues.

In this research, the impact behavior of hybrid composite materials subjected to low-velocity impact using the drop-weight installation was investigated. For this study were manufactured eight hybrid materials. All the materials were tested to 90J impact energy. The effect of fabric types used in outer layers on impact performance was studied. The impact characteristics of hybrid materials with G1 glass fabric sheets were compared with those of hybrid materials with G2 glass fabric sheets. The damage surfaces of hybrid laminates were examined by visual investigation. The results obtained showed that the using of G2 glass fabric in structure of hybrid materials improved considerable the impact characteristics.

The purpose of this experimental study is to present the design and biomechanical characteristics of bipolar polyethylene radial head prostheses type KPS (CHM â Poland), as well as to evaluate their use in comminuted fractures type Mason III associated with ligament injuries. We retrospectively evaluated 7 patients with 7 complex radial head fractures with an average age of 38.5 years. The prostheses were implanted through a lateral Kocher approach and patients immediately began the rehabilitation of the elbow. The functional results according to the MEPS score (Mayo Elbow Performance Score) were excellent in 3 cases and good in 4 cases, without stem loosening or residual instability of the elbow. Due to the overwhelming advantages of this bipolar prosthesis (better joint tracking and easier implantation technique) and its very good functional results, the authors recommend this type of arthroplasty in posttraumatic elbow instability.

Due their various applications the fabric reinforced polymer composites are subject of a large number of researches especially for aero- and automotive industry. Regarding the last domain there are huge interests in designing and forming composites with controllable strengthens for car bodies able to protect both the driver and passengers inside and pedestrians in case of unfortunate events. In this regard, based on previous studies developed at the Research and Development Centre for Thermoset Matrix Composites, our proposal is to design the bending behaviour of a fabric reinforced materials by means of changing the bending strength of the polymer matrix using a solvent. 1-Methyl, 2- pyrrolidinone is a well-known polymer solvent that had been used in previous studies as vector to transfer various organic agents into epoxy resins. During those studies it had been noticed that the presence of above mentioned solvent is changing the bending behaviour of polymer samples and induces some properties that are belonging to memory-shape materials. The present study is related to mechanical analysis of a multi-layered material (fabric layers) immersed into an epoxy resin having a graded bending strength.

The paper presents the research carried out by our team on achieving amphiphilic polymeric microcomposites, colored in ruby and violet shades for natural fibers dyeing (cotton, wool). The colored polymeric microcomposites were characterized in term of their morpholo- gical (by optical microscopy and SEM analysis) and physicochemical performancies (by FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, colorimetric analysis). The colored microcapsules were tested by studying the controlled release of the encapsulated dyes in water, to pH variation. This study was necessary to the coloristic characterization of colored polymeric microcomposites to determine the optimal microcapsules dye concentration and dyeing concentration of natural fibers.

The selective collection of plastic, paper, glass and metal waste represents a desirable behavior in any civilized community with environmental concerns. The collection and recovery of recyclable materials is also a concern for the city of Arad, the purpose of this study being that of identifying the strengths and weaknesses of selective waste collection at the level of this urban community. Starting from the premise that responsible behavior in terms of waste and its collection is an important factor in the ecological development of a community, the present article aims to explore the local realities in this regard, to diagnose the state of things, as it is at present, in the city of Arad. We have highlighted and recorded the population�s existing mentalities and perceptions, the citizens� expectations from the local authorities, in order to provide optimal intervention opportunities to increase control for a better management of selective collection.

Tooth bleaching and other cosmetic treatments (performed at home or in the dental office) are very common nowadays. The use of thermoplastic materials for the manufacturing of whitening trays should have good biomechanical properties in order to assure a good treatment outcome with a good esthetic result. The most common tray manufacturing material is an acrylic poly-resin thin foil that can be vacuum-formed in order to fit any clinical situation. The material must be inert in order to prevent harmful free radicals release form the interaction with different bleaching substances. Thermoformed trays were manufactured in our dental office and immersed in a mixed oral suspension (that also contained artificial saliva) in order to test the behavior of the material in the intraoral environment.

Preparation epoxy based hybrid composites were involved kaolin geopolymer filler, organo-montmorillonite at 3phr by using high speed mechanical stirrer. A mechanical behaviour of neat epoxy, epoxy/organo-montmorillonite and its hybrid composites containing 1-8phr kaolin geopolymer filler was studied upon cyclic deformation (three-point flexion mode) as the temperature is varies. The analysis was determined by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) at frequency of 1.0Hz. The results then expressed in storage modulus (E�), loss modulus (E�) and damping factor (tan d) as function of temperature from 40 oC to 130oC. Overall results indicated that E�, E�� and Tg increased considerably by incorporating optimum 1phr kaolin geopolymer in epoxy organo-montmorillonite hybrid composites.
