The Creation of FRONTEX and the Politics of Institutionalisation in the EU External Borders Policy
Authors: Leonard Sarah
Published: April 2022

In a context of high politicization, if not securitization, of asylum and migration in Europe, the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the EU – also known under its acronym FRONTEX – was created in 2004. Its activities have drawn a significant amount of attention and have been heavily criticised by human rights and pro-migrant groups. In contrast with most of the literature on FRONTEX, which focuses on its activities, this article examines the institutional issues associated with the creation and the work of FRONTEX, that is, the reasons for which Member States chose to create an agency, rather than establish another form of cooperation, and the specific mechanisms that they have put in place to exercise control over the activities of the Agency. The article, which is theoretically informed by the literature on European agencies, unveils a complex institutionalisation process, characterised by the existence of various models for increased cooperation and political struggles amongst the actors involved in the policy-making process.
Political Culture, Values and Economic Utility: A Different Perspective on Norwegian Party-based Euroscepticism
Authors: Skinner Marianne S.
Published: April 2022

Drawing on a content analysis of party manifestos and a survey of Norwegian MPs, this article examines the nuances in, and the causality of, the different Norwegian parties’ Euroscepticism. The study of the comparative party politics of Euroscepticism, which focuses on ideology and strategy, falls short of accounting for the Norwegian case, where, unlike other European countries, the parties’ Euroscepticism is exceptionally stable and appears across the political spectrum. Therefore, the article tests an alternative set of theories, drawn from the literature on opinion formation on European integration, to find a more suitable framework for analysing and explaining the motivation of Norwegian Euroscepticism. The analysis shows that Norwegian party-based Euroscepticism can be divided into three types when it comes to its strength and policy opposition, with the Centre Party and the Socialist Left Party on the ‘hardest’ end of the Euroscepticism scale, followed by the Christian Democratic Party and the Liberal Party, and finally, the Labour Party and the Progress Party. Furthermore, the analysis indicates that Norwegian Eurosceptic party stances on Europe are primarily driven by political values and political culture concerns, except for the Progress Party, which base its Eurosceptic motivation on economic utilitarianism and political culture.
Fears and Strategies: The EU, China and their Free Trade Agreements in East Asia
Authors: Garcia Maria
Published: April 2022

The stalemate at the WTO Doha Round sparked a new wave of bilateral preferential and free trade agreements (FTAs). Nowhere has this been more evident than in the Asia Pacific region. Whilst there are economic reasons for FTAs, these are less efficient and more complex than multilateral agreements and most have had fairly small economic impacts. This paper compares the strategies of a newcomer to the FTA arena, China, and the actor with the most cumulative FTAs, the EU. It ponders on the different reasons informing their strategies and on how these may be affecting each other. It also considers the role of competitive fears and competitive diffusion in the formulation of their policies.
Poland and its Eastern Neighbours: Foreign Policy Principles
Authors: Klatt Malgorzata
Published: April 2022

This article examines the main principles that underpin Polish foreign policy towards its Eastern neighbours, focusing on the attributes of Poland’s latest contribution to the European Union’s (EU) policies – the Eastern Partnership (EaP). The article argues that the main attributes of the EaP are not only the outcome of Polish security concerns, but are also deeply rooted in Polish national identity. After years of communist rule, Polish national identity has been in a process of reconstruction not only through the “return to Europe”, but also through the re-establishment of closer bonds with its Eastern neighbours. At the same time, the Eastern Partnership provides the means for Poland to redefine its role in the political landscape of the EU and to infiltrate its national identity and ideals into the EU’s political reality.

Objetivo: Identificar o conhecimento de enfermeiros da Atenção Básica acerca da assistência à mulher com queixas relacionadas a Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (verrugas anogenitais, úlcera genital, cervicite e corrimento vaginal), tendo como base o “Protocolos de Atenção Básica: Saúde das mulheres”. Metodologia: Trata-se de estudo descritivo e qualitativo realizado com 39 enfermeiros da Atenção Básica do município de Campina Grande/Paraíba. Os dados foram coletados entre os meses de maio e junho de 2017, e analisados segundo o referencial metodológico de Bardin. Resultados: Da análise das entrevistas emergiram quatro categorias: “Condutas do enfermeiro no manejo de verrugas anogenitais”; “Assistência nos casos de úlcera genital causadas por sífilis e cancro mole” e “Atuação do enfermeiro no manejo de cervicite e corrimento vaginal”. Conclusões: Os resultados do presente estudo permitiram observar lacunas no conhecimento dos enfermeiros da Atenção Básica acerca da assistência à mulher com queixas relacionadas a Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis, sendo relatado, na maioria dos casos, apenas encaminhamento para o médico da Unidade Básica de Saúde ou serviço especializado. O desconhecimento das condutas que deveriam ser realizadas foi justificado pela carência de prática profissional. Além disso, foi verificado que as atividades laborais do enfermeiro são influenciadas pela disponibilidade de insumos e dificuldades no que concerne a prescrição de medicamentos.

Authors:   Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria, Oloyede Olufemi A , Mustafa A Lamina Mustafa A Lamina, , Shorunmu Tessie O
Published: April 2022

Background: Twin-twin transfusion syndrome is an important complication of monochorionic placentation in twin pregnancy. The management of this condition in Nigeria and many other developing countries has always been “watchful expectancy” with attendant high perinatal morbidity and mortality. Amnioreduction is a less demanding treatment option compared with fetoscopic laser coagulation management option in terms of cost and expertise, but has not been reported from any unit in Nigeria. Case Presentation: A 28-year-old gravid 2 para 1+0, 1 alive, carrying twin pregnancy was referred at 22 weeks gestation with complaint of mild discomfort due to sudden rapid enlargement of the abdomen. Physical examination and ultrasound scan assessment confirm Quintero stage II Twin-twin transfusion syndrome and she underwent serial amnioreduction at 24, 28 and 31 weeks of gestation with satisfactory outcomes. She had caesarean section at 33 weeks due to an acute episode of severe maternal discomfort and was delivered of 2 live female babies. There were no adverse perinatal events. Conclusion: This case presented demonstrates the role of amnioreduction in the management of carefully selected cases of twin-twin transfusion syndrome and further encouraged its utilization. in resource-constrained units instead of ‘watchful expectancy’ and in the absence of fetoscopic laser photocoagulation

In low-and middle-income countries, patients’ access to affordable medicines is a perennial challenge at all levels of healthcare delivery. Community pharmacists are expected to bridge the supply and demand gap. Unlike the plethora of studies done at the hospital and government institutions level, there is a paucity of empirical evidence on the factors influencing medicine procurement decisions from supply channels at the community pharmacy level. The study aimed to investigate the influence of community pharmacists’ professional and entrepreneurial considerations on their decision-to-procure from medicine suppliers. A cross-sectional survey which adopted a self-administered questionnaire approach to obtain primary data from randomly sampled respondents (N=398) from three purposively selected states in southwestern, Nigeria. Structural equation modeling (SEM) methodology was used to test the hypothesized model at p<0.05. The study revealed acceptable model fit and validity measures for measurement and structural models. Cost and profitability factors were significant predictors of decision-to-procure compared to service and product quality factors among respondents [β=0.343, p=0.001 vs. β=0.044, p=0.606]. Product selection had a positive moderating effect on cost and profitability factors [t=1.980, p=0.048] and a negative directional effect on service and product quality factors in the hypothesized model [t=-2.960, p=0.003]. Community pharmacists should balance financial considerations with a professional focus to ensure patients’ access to quality and affordable medicines. Study outcomes suggest the development and implementation of universally acceptable guidelines on medicine procurement in community pharmacy settings in low-and middle-income countries. The study validated the SEM model for evaluating priorities influencing community pharmacists’ buying decisions. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to use the SEM framework to explore factors informing drug procurement decisions from the community pharmacists’ perspective in low-and middle-income countries.
Afectos y desujeción en la formación de un rey. Arthur Pendragon en la serie Merlin
Authors: Luque Cecilia Inés
Published: April 2022

Se analiza la serie Merlin (BBC, 2009-2012) para mostrar que el cumplimiento del Destino de Arthur –convertirse en el legendario rey de Camelot– depende de su predisposición a abrirse a afectos socialmente estigmatizados en la Corte colonialista y heteropatriarcal de su padre Uther, arriesgándose así a su deslegitimación como sujeto. La premisa de la serie es que las potencias del joven Pendragon como gobernante descansan sobre los afectos que definen qué tipo de hombre es y qué tan éticas son sus acciones; por ende, la masculinidad de Arthur deviene arena de lucha política. Entre el príncipe y Merlin se establece una fuerte relación afectiva que toma la forma de un affidamento; ese vínculo permite a Arthur desujetarse de la masculinidad hegemónica representada por su padre y empoderarse para forjar su propio proyecto como gobernante, el cual ya no define la comunidad en términos de mismidad (“los que son como yo”) sino en términos de “alteridad llorable” (“los otros que quizás no son como yo perode todos modos merecen duelo por ser vidas valiosas”). A partir de este estudio de caso reflexiono sobre la importancia de los afectos relacionados con la subjetividad masculina en los procesos de cambio social.

Published: April 2022

The paper provides information on the chemical composition of intrusive diorites the gold-porphyry deposit of Bolshoy Karan, located in the northern part of the Voznesensk-Prisakmar structural zone (MUF), in the north of the Uchaly ore district.

Additional information is given on 1) primary magmatic, 2) accessory, 3) hydrothermal-metasomatic and 4) ore minerals. Special attention is paid to the geochemical features of accessory minerals from the ore-bearing zone diorites.

According to the Nb/Yb and Th/Yb ratios in gabbroids, taking into account other materials, geodynamic reconstructions were carried out, as a result of which groups of gabbro-diorites formed in the Voznesensk-Prisakmar zone in areas with oceanic, island-arc and subcontinental types of crust, smelted from depleted and enriched mantle sources, were identified. The Bolshekaran-Voznesensk-Karagaikul ore-bearing zone is confined to an area with a thick crust of the island-arc or subcontinental type.

A mineralogical and geochemical study of limestones of the Katav Formation was carried out, outcrops of which are noted in the Yamantau anticlinorium 8–10 km northwest of Muradymovo settlement on Aktash Area. In the mineralogical composition of limestones, a relatively high content of quartz (4–15 %), presence of small amounts (at the level of 1 %) of dolomite and K-feldspar, variable contents (0.3–1.6 %) of hematite, as well as a constant admixture of chlorite and albite (1–7 %). The presence of hematite in the limestones is considered as possible mineralogical evidence in favor of arid conditions and evaporate sedimentation settings during the Katavian. The contents of F, Cl, V, Cr, Ni, Sr in limestones are below the clarke values, Pb is close to the clarke, Cu, Zn, Zr are 1.5–2 times higher than the clarke. The Clarke values of Co (4 times) and Ba (19 times) are the highest. The established features of the distribution of the halogen elements fluorine and chlorine (extremely low concentrations, their absence of association with calcite, and a high positive correlation with micaceous minerals, which apparently have an epigenetic origin) cannot be considered as evidence of evaporite sedimentation environments in the Katav time.

The paper carries systematization of a step-by-step evolutionary change in theoretical views on debt financing of public expenditures. A comprehensive analysis of the most important characteristics of the state debt of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation since 2006 has been carried out. Seven situations of varying degree of emergency calling for government support have been identified. These periods are determined by identifying the prerequisites for the emergence, quantitative characteristics, structural deformations of debt and instruments of state regulation. Based on the results of the analysis, it was concluded that the attraction of borrowed budget resources to the regions of the Russian Federation was mainly a forced and spontaneous process, subject to time changes and carried out mainly to make up for the lack of the region’s own budget revenues. The research proves that attracting budgetary resources to the region requires a systematic approach and consideration of two factors: how the region’s own budgetary potential affects the borrowed budgetary resources and how they in turn can affect the region’s own budgetary capacity of current and / or future periods. There are scenarios about impact of borrowed budgetary resources on the territory's own budgetary capacity.

Model risk is currently a topic of great interest both to the academic community and to the financial industry; however, there is not yet any generally accepted approach to measuring it as of now. We give a review of basic model risk definitions and different indicators and approaches to model risk estimation and calculation within a common setting. The subject of this work is model risk itself that arises while using models to estimate financial risk and its quantitative indicators. The study is of particular relevance to financial institutions which for a long time have been actively applying different risk models. Since there is no generally accepted way to do so, choosing the exact approach becomes an important step in modelling. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate different approaches to model risk estimation on the same example of estimating the model risk of Value-at-Risk models and compare them within one setting. Methods used: analysis of time series, theoretical distribution parameters estimation. The result of the work is a list of methods and approaches for estimating and calculating model risk with the examples of applying these methods to a real risk-management task with appropriate interpretation. This work can be useful for researchers and risk managers of financial institutions.

Decision making process in stock trading is a complex one. Stock market is a key factor of monetary markets and signs of economic growth. In some circumstances, traditional forecasting methods cannot contract with determining and sometimes data consist of uncertain and imprecise properties which are not handled by quantitative models. In order to achieve the main objective, accuracy and efficiency of time series forecasting, we move towards the fuzzy time series modeling. Fuzzy time series is different from other time series as it is represented in linguistics values rather than a numeric value. The Fuzzy set theory includes many types of membership functions. In this study, we will utilize the Fuzzy approach and trapezoidal membership function to develop the fuzzy generalized auto regression conditional heteroscedasticity (FGARCH) model by using the fuzzy least square techniques to forecasting stock exchange market prices. The experimental results show that the proposed forecasting system can accurately forecast stock prices. The accuracy measures RMSE, MAD, MAPE, MSE, and Theil-U-Statistics have values of 18.17, 15.65, 2.339, 301.998, and 0.003212, respectively, which confirmed that the proposed system is considered to be useful for forecasting the stock index prices, which outperforms conventional GARCH models.

Multiple response surface methodology (MRSM) has been the favorite method for optimizing multiple response processes though it has two weaknesses which challenge the credibility of its solutions. The first weakness is the use of experimentally generated small sample size datasets, and the second is the selection, using classical model selection criteria, of single best models for each response for use in simultaneous optimization to obtain the optimum or desired solution. Classical model selection criteria do not always agree on the best model resulting in model uncertainty. The selection of single best models for each response for simultaneous optimization loses information in rejected models. This work proposes the use of multiple simultaneous optimizations to estimate multiple solutions that are ensembled in solving a conveyor belting cure time problem. The solution is compared with one obtained by simultaneous optimization of single best models for each response. The two results were different. However, results show that it is possible to obtain a more credible solution through ensembling of solutions from multiple simultaneous optimizations.

In the context of supply chain management, supplier selection can be defined as the process by which organizations score and evaluate a range of alternative suppliers to choose the best possible one who can provide superior quality of raw materials at cheaper rate and lesser lead time. It is a decision making process with multiple trade-offs between various conflicting criteria which in turn helps the organizations identify the suitable suppliers that would establish a robust supply chain assisting in maintaining a competitive edge. The main objective of supplier selection is thus focused on reducing purchase risk, maximizing overall value to the organization, and developing closeness and long-term relationships between the suppliers and the organization. In this paper, while selecting the most suitable supplier for gearboxes in an Indian iron and steel industry, assessments of three decision makers on the performance of five candidate suppliers with respect to five evaluation criteria are first aggregated using rough numbers. The definitive distances of those rough numbers are then treated as the inputs to a 25 full-factorial design plan with the corresponding multi-attributive border approximation area comparison (MABAC) scores as the output variables. Finally, a design of experiments (DoE)-based metamodel is formulated to interlink the computed MABAC scores with the considered criteria. The competing suppliers are ranked based on this rough-MABAC-DoE-based metamodel, which also easies out the computational steps when new suppliers are included in the decision making process.

Increasing the speed of the product change-over process is critical by implementing the Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) effectively. The smallest activity variation between operators, activity speed, and process accuracy are identified research targets. This research was developed in the electronic component industry, where the Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) and Hierarchy Task Analysis (HTA) methods can describe the most crucial and key activities. Therefore, it takes accuracy and reliability between operators to carry out this activity. This paper presents the acceleration of the product change-over process by developing an automated non-contact inspection method in the assembly area using a vision system. The results of the study illustrate that the change-over process can be carried out in single-digit minutes (7 minutes), or reduced by 81%, and the speed of change-over activities between operators is the same.

Oil supply chains play a vital role in the day-to-day functioning of national economies and obstruction in its services can lead to dire consequences. For this purpose, it is imperative for oil supply chains to be on guard against all probable vulnerabilities and develop adequate protection mechanisms. This research study aims to identify the most important vulnerabilities for oil supply chains in the context of Pakistan, a developing country. Subsequently, these identified vulnerabilities were used to design a protection framework, embodying different supply chain capabilities. For this purpose, this study employs a hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision Making approach. Full Consistency Method (FUCOM) has been used to prioritise vulnerabilities and Fuzzy Quality Function Deployment (QFD) has been used to identify those capabilities that can ensure protection against these vulnerabilities. Results indicate that crude oil price instability, fuel price shocks, unpredictable demand, and information and communication disruptions are the most important and catastrophic vulnerabilities in the context of Pakistan’s oil industry. For mitigation of these vulnerabilities, oil supply chains need to incorporate real-time information sharing, visibility, e-procurement, traceability, and transparency as resilience measures. These recommendations are of considerable importance to Pakistan’s oil industry and policy-making authorities. Moreover, this study fulfils the research gap by focusing on enhancing the resilience of Pakistan’s oil supply chains, with the aid of MCDM techniques.

Avrupa Birliği (AB) üyesi devletler tarafından, 21 Mart 2022 tarihinde gerçekleştirilen AB Konseyi’nde “Güvenlik ve Savunma için Stratejik Pusula” belgesi kabul edilmiştir. Bu Stratejik Pusula’nın AB’nin güvenlik ve savunma çabalarına daha fazla tutarlılık ve güçlü bir ortak amaç duygusu getirmesi beklenmektedir. Anılan belge, AB’nin önümüzdeki 5-10 yılı için somut öneriler ve zaman çizelgesi sağlayan bir eylem rehberi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Stratejik Pusula, başlangıçta Avrupa’da ciddi bir savaş durumu olasılığını göz önünde bulundurmaksızın hazırlanmıştır. Stratejik Pusula’nın yönetici özeti kısmından başlayarak bu hazırlıksızlığın izlerini görmek mümkündür. Mevcut haliyle belge, bir nedenle alelacele kabul edilmiş izlenimini yaratmaktadır. Avrupa Birliği Güvenlik Araştırmaları Enstitüsü (EUISS), Birliğin, dışişleri, güvenlik ve savunma politikalarını analiz eden Ajansıdır. En önemli yayını, kurumun analistleri ve kurum dışı uzmanlar tarafından hazırlanmakta olan Chaillot Raporu serisidir. Bu, EUISS’in, Stratejik Pusula’nın hazırlanmasında aktif ve neredeyse öncü bir rol oynadığını işaret etmektedir. Avrupa Birliği Güvenlik Araştırmaları Enstitüsü’nün (EUISS) Raporu’n göre, Avrupa Birliği’nin 2021’de AB’nin karşı karşıya olduğu tehditler arasında “Türkiye ile olan gerilimler” de yer almaktadır. Bu atıf, EUISS’in raporlarında saplantı derecesinde tekrarlanan bir iddiadır. Türkiye’ye yönelik bu denli düşmanca bir tavrı akıl tutulması olarak değerlendirmek yanlış olmayacaktır. AB’nin Stratejik Pusula belgesini aceleyle kabulü kayda değer bir gelişmedir. Belge Türkiye’yi, Doğu Akdeniz’de Avrupa Birliği’ne tehdit oluşturan bir ülke olarak saymaktadır. Bu durum, Avrupa Birliği’nde ciddi bir vizyon eksikliğini ve stratejik sığlığı göstermektedir.

Garbage collection in the Siak tributary used an excavator where the excavator cannot reach the garbage in the middle of the Siak tributary. To make it easier to collect garbage in the middle of the Siak tributary, a robotic ship collecting robot system is make using: ardino uno microcontroller with joystick controller ps 2 based on an android smartphone. The whole tool was divided into several parts, which consist of an Android smartphone, PS 2 wireless receiver, Arduino Uno microcontroller, PS 2 joystick, motor relay driver, DC motor, servo motor, and camera. This tool works when the PS 2 Joystick connects the connection to the PS 2 wireless receiver, and the PS 2 wireless receiver then to the Arduino Uno microcontroller to process commands, from the Arduino Uno microcontroller then to the motor relay driver that works to regulate the voltage of the electric current to drive the DC motor, and Servo motors function to transport trash in the river, as well as smartphones as displays to display the results of the camera. The method used is the prototype method. The results showed that the PS 2 joystick could communicate with Arduino Uno with a distance of 25 meters if there is no barrier and 15 meters if there is a barrier and the robot ship is only in the form of a prototype that is only able to take out garbage such as drink bottles caps, caps galon, and drink glass 200 gram.

In low-and middle-income countries, patients’ access to affordable medicines is a perennial challenge at all levels of healthcare delivery. Community pharmacists are expected to bridge the supply and demand gap. Unlike the plethora of studies done at the hospital and government institutions level, there is a paucity of empirical evidence on the factors influencing medicine procurement decisions from supply channels at the community pharmacy level. The study aimed to investigate the influence of community pharmacists’ professional and entrepreneurial considerations on their decision-to-procure from medicine suppliers. A cross-sectional survey which adopted a self-administered questionnaire approach to obtain primary data from randomly sampled respondents (N=398) from three purposively selected states in southwestern, Nigeria. Structural equation modeling (SEM) methodology was used to test the hypothesized model at p<0.05. The study revealed acceptable model fit and validity measures for measurement and structural models. Cost and profitability factors were significant predictors of decision-to-procure compared to service and product quality factors among respondents [β=0.343, p=0.001 vs. β=0.044, p=0.606]. Product selection had a positive moderating effect on cost and profitability factors [t=1.980, p=0.048] and a negative directional effect on service and product quality factors in the hypothesized model [t=-2.960, p=0.003]. Community pharmacists should balance financial considerations with a professional focus to ensure patients’ access to quality and affordable medicines. Study outcomes suggest the development and implementation of universally acceptable guidelines on medicine procurement in community pharmacy settings in low-and middle-income countries. The study validated the SEM model for evaluating priorities influencing community pharmacists’ buying decisions. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to use the SEM framework to explore factors informing drug procurement decisions from the community pharmacists’ perspective in low-and middle-income countries.

Konsep dasar manajemen pemasaran

Published: April 2022

Manajemen pemasaran merupakan proses perencanaan dan pelaksanaan pemikiran, penetapan harga, promosi serta menyalurkan gagasan barang dan jasa untuk mendapatkan pertukaran yang memenuhi sasaran-sasaran individu dalam organisasi (Kotler & Keller 2007:27). Untuk mencapai pemasaran yang tepat perlu menganalisis terlebih dahulu faktor lingkungan. Peran pemasaran dalam pembangunan ekonomi dapat dihargai setelah membahas masalah lingkungan dan mengikuti konsep pengelolaan lingkungan. Dalam hal ini, pemasar dituntut untuk berhatihati dalam kegiatan pemasaran mereka yang diarahkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pelanggan tanpa mengorbankan kemampuan generasi mendatang untuk memenuhi kebutuhan mereka sendiri (Quoquab and Mohammad, 2016).
