Volunteering and helping in Serbia: Main characteristics
Authors: Radovanovic Bojana
Published: April 2019

Volunteering is conceptualised as an activity when time is given freely to
benefit another person, group or cause. Such activity can be done through
formal organisations and informal groups, but time can also be given
directly to people in need. However, volunteering to formal organisations
tend to predominate in the research, and our knowledge on the factors that
promote such behaviour mostly comes from countries where this form of giving
time is well developed, particularly from Anglo-Saxon and Western and
Northern European countries. Focussing on three forms of giving time in
Serbia: volunteering to formal organisations, volunteering in informal
groups and helping individuals, this paper seeks to address these gaps in
the literature. Data analysed in this paper come from the first encompassing
national survey on pro-social behaviour (N= 1,528) carried out in Serbia in
2014. This research shows that providing direct help to people (71.2%) is by
far a more common activity than volunteering to formal organisations (27.7%)
and participating in the activities of informal groups (22.8%). There are
differences in giving time according to socio-demographic characteristics.
In general, respondents who reported giving time are likely to be found
among the younger population, among students and those without health
problems. Also, different socio-demographic groups of population engage in
different forms of giving time.

Published: April 2019

In order to assess the diagnosis of carbohydrate metabolism disorders, day care patients from Tambov central regional hospital were investigated. The study was conducted during 6 months in 2018. The study included 91 patients and allowed the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) in 31 (34.0%) cases, 6 (6.5%) impaired fasting glucose and 22 (24.1%) impaired glucose tolerance. This survey highlighted the necessity to expand the screening populations at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. The rational for the 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test for all individuals with fasting plasma glucose ≥ 5.6 ≤ 6.0 mmol/l and having one or more risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes and / or metabolic syndrome is shown. Among these categories diabetes was detected in 4.3%, and prediabetes in 14.4% of cases.

Authors: Pinto Rodrigo Jambeiro , Leite dos Santos Vivianni Marques
Published: April 2019

The significant concentration of the world energy matrix in polluting sources and prices subject to instabilities, such as fossil fuels, has raised the search for countries by technologies and alternative sources, among them wind energy, as a way to increase security in energy supply and reduce the emission of gases responsible for the greenhouse effect. Thus, through a bibliographical research, the objective of this work is to systematize the potential of wind energy, through a study of evolution, challenges and perspectives, consolidate in the Brazilian energy matrix and contribute, in the long run, to a greater decentralization of and less dependence on non-renewable sources. In this sense, Brazil, benefited by natural factors and the development of the national industry, has favorable conditions for the exploration of this form of energy and has experienced great evolution, with wind energy being among the fastest growing in Brazil and being the second most competitive source of energy Brazilian energy matrix. However, the need to improve the logistics infrastructure, expand transmission lines, improvement in the planning of the start-up dates of wind power plants, as well as create a new policy to encourage renewable energies and make greater investments in research and development appear as important goals to be achieved so that wind energy can in fact consolidate in the national scenario.
»Abwanderung und Widerspruch«. Zur Aktualität eines analytischen Konzepts des 20. für das 21. Jahrhundert
Authors: Arndt Agnes
Published: April 2019

Albert O. Hirschman’s Exit, Voice, and Loyalty. Responses to Decline in Firms, Organizations, and States (1970, in German 1974) deconstructs a stereotype of economic behavior that large parts of social sciences define and analyze as rational and goal-oriented. Hirschman confronts the image of a rational and efficient economy, constantly working towards maximizing output, with the fluctuation and deterioration of its performance. Exit and Voice constitute, according to Hirschman, the fundamental mechanisms available to counteract this tendency for performance decline. He introduces market and non-market forces into his analysis, thereby addressing both economic and political mechanisms, in order to advance the mutual recognition of both disciplines, which Hirschman deems insufficient. At the time of its publication, Hirschman’s study was appreciated for its cross-disciplinary approach. In the eyes of the author however, what grants the book current relevance is its analytical compatibility with devastating present-day problems.

Anoectochilus formosanus Hayata was demonstrated to have a benefit healthy due to containing active pharmaceutical ingredients. However, A. formosanus is usually processed to produce tea bags which would destroy the bioactive compounds because of the processing procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of extracted methods including microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and fermentation by Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC-4356 to extract the active pharmaceutical ingredients from A. formosanus. The extracted liquid was analyzed total phenolics, total polysaccharide, and antioxidant activity. The results showed that three methods have a positive effect on the extraction of bioactive compounds of A. formosanus in which the fermentation showed the best result. The total phenolic content, total polysaccharide content and antioxidant capacity that extracted by the fermentation method were 11.762 mg GAE/g; 48.914 mg GE/g, and 1.582 mgVit C/g compare to MAE and UAE which were 7.818 mg and 8.128 GAE/g samples; 41.22 and 37.91mg GE/g samples; 1.032 and 1.163 mgVit C/g respectively. The A. formosanus fermentation method by L. acidophilus promotes bioactive compounds of high biological value. This study would suggest a novel use of lactic fermenting A. formosanus in the production of functional foods.

Authors: Matsushita Takashi , Kumano Tomoyasu , Takehara Kazuhiko
Published: April 2019

Primary cutaneous follicle center lymphoma (PCFCL) accounts for the majority of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphomas. We report a 60-year-old womanwith PCFCL. She had a red nodule (25 × 25 mm) on the right side of the lower jaw. She was diagnosed with PCFCL by skin biopsy. And then, she was treated with radiation therapy (total 30.6 Gy), which completely eliminated the nodule. Our case suggests that radiation therapy may be a first choice for PCFCL patients with a solitary lesion or localized lesions.

Published: April 2019

Online gaming, as fun as it is, has the potential to create problems of playing excessively. Even though many people play excessively and have problems on their daily functioning, there are excessive game players who function well in their daily life (Charlton, 2010). This might be caused by good self-control in the individuals. Self-control is defined as the ability to control thoughts, emotion, behavior, and wishes in order to attain higher reward (goals) and avoid being punished or having negative consequences (Vohs, dkk., 2008). Self control will affect someone in conflicting situation among different things. This research aims to seek self control components and processes among non problematic MMORPG gamers. In depth interview with two non problematic MMORPG gamers revealed that they both have high standards to be achieved and ensure its attainment by using both cognitive and behavioral

REVENUE DISTRIBUTION FROM FEDERATION ACCOUNT AND MONEY SUPPLY: EVIDENCE FROM NIGERIA
Authors: OMODERO Cordelia Onyinyechi
Published: April 2019

AbstractMoney supply in every economy is very vital for economic growth and stability.  However, the role of revenue distribution in ensuring the success of monetary policies revolving around money supply in Nigeria cannot be over-estimated.  The study examines the impact of revenue distribution to the three tiers of government on money supply (MSS) in Nigeria.  Time series data used for the study estimation span from 1981-2016 and were obtained from CBN statistical bulletin, 2016 edition and World Bank website.  The specific purpose of the study is to establish the extent to which revenue allocation to federal, state, local governments and derivation allowance to the mineral producing states affect money circulating in the Nigerian economy.  Ordinary least square method (OLS) was employed with the aid of SPSS version 20 to test the impact of revenue distribution on money supply.  The findings reveal that revenue allocation to federal government has a significant positive impact on money supply.  Allocation to local government councils has insignificant positive impact on money supply.  On the contrary, allocation to states and the derivation allowance to Niger Delta States exert significant negative influence on MSS in Nigeria.  The study concludes that, revenue allocation to states and derivation allowance contribute to inflation in the country and recommended stringent monetary policies that will determine the percentage of allocated revenue usage by all tiers of government in a particular period to avoid too much money in circulation.   Keywords:  Revenue distribution, allocation, money supply, economic stability, derivation.JEL CODE: E51, E64.

Advancing Formwork Systems for the Production of Precast Concrete Building Elements: from Manual to Robotic
Authors: Pan Mi , Pan Wei
Published: April 2019

The utilization of precast concrete offers significant benefits in terms of increased material efficiency, safety, labor productivity, and reduced time, cost and wastage over conventional on- site construction. In the meantime, challenges exist in the precast concrete production in the high requirements for dimensional accuracy of precast elements, flexibility and reusability of formwork, and stability of shuttering. Formwork systems are a critical component of the precast production line, which is also the key to innovation from manual to automated and robotic. Previous studies seldom examined the competitive features of such systems within the context of the building prefabrication process. The aim of this paper is to explore the future development directions of, and to identify transferable advanced technologies for, advanced formwork systems in the production of precast concrete building elements. The research was carried out by comparing the conventional and advanced approaches drawing on the case of high-rise buildings in Hong Kong. The results indicate that automation and robotic technologies offer unique advantages in the betterment of the formwork system. Besides gains in productivity, reliability and accuracy, the adoption of robotic systems also provide the great benefit of cost-effectiveness owing to the high labor cost and fast growing market in Hong Kong. However, there also exist barriers to advancing formwork systems for precast, including industry and culture reluctance, high capital costs and skill shortages. The findings should contribute to a better understanding of how automated and robotic technologies could advance the formwork systems in the precast production, which can further reap the benefits of prefabrication and facilitate innovation in building industry.

Labor productivity is an important indicator of Chinese construction industry development, so it has a positive influence on study the factors affecting construction labor productivity for the sustainable development in construction industry. Since Chongqing became one of Chinese municipality in 1997, construction industry had a rapid development. But the construction labor productivity in Chongqing is still low. Thus, this paper selects construction labor productivity data in Chongqing as the research object, and indicates labor productivity is affected by eight specific factors from economy, technology, capital, labor and management aspects. Based on the data, this paper uses principal component analysis (PCA) method and multiple linear regression (MLR) to analyze the relationship between labor productivity and affecting factors. The result reveals labor productivity in Chongqing is affected by the average
wage in construction industry, GDP and construction and installation engineering investment. Meanwhile, a low labor productivity in Chongqing dues to a lack of technological innovation.
A comparison between Volumetric Timber Manufacturing Strategies in the UK and mainland Europe
Authors: Duncheva Tsvetomila , Bradley Fiona F.
Published: April 2019

The construction sector in the UK is currently being challenged by an urgent need to produce housing. This requirement is within a context of increasingly stringent greenhouse gas emission legislation and tough goals to reduce build time by 50% and financial cost by 33% by the year 2025. Many agree that these targets and others relating to build quality and productivity can only be achieved with increased utilisation of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC). This research study proposes that Volumetric Timber construction (VT) is a suitable system for use in the UK, as it can achieve up to 95% prefabrication in a controlled factory environment combined with rapid onsite construction. There are a variety of VT timber systems on the market, including timber studs, Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) and Structurally Insulated Panel (SIP) structures and a variety of production methods. This paper presents findings from a study comparing four VT manufacturers in the UK and four in mainland Europe. Different design and processing methods have been compared and analysed with respect to production type, offsite components and productivity metrics. The findings demonstrate that there are diverse approaches to efficient VT manufacturing and opportunities for flexibility in the design of products to suit local market conditions.
Polymer-based Modular Residential Building Design and Construction äóñ A new Paradigm?
Authors: Wong Andy , Mertiny Pierre
Published: April 2019

The onsite wood frame method of constructing new buildings has been the norm for residential and basic commercial structures for more than a century. In this review study, we consider investment into plastic composite structures to supplement or replace wood frame home construction. Previous developments in this field often centralize on using a classic composite sandwich panel design: a polymer-based core material adjoined to layers of synthetic fiber-reinforced polymer (e.g. fiberglass). The core of the composite panels is designed to meet demands toward low cost, light weight, and structural rigidity. Different varieties of plastics, including thermosets and thermoplastics, are discussed. Factors that need to be considered in the fabrication of composite modular residential buildings include, but are not limited to, energy consumption (both in building heating and cooling, and fabrication energy usage), fire resistance, resource use, environmental impact, human impact, and cost. Basic fabrication principles and techniques for composite modular panels are reviewed, wherein mechanical and electrical work can be incorporated into the building during panel manufacturing. Methods in which panels can be fabricated in high volumes that enable economies of scale are described. Thusly, recent progress in the application of plastics forming and machining that is applicable to the construction industry, and the feasibility of this type of residential construction are elucidated and discussed holistically.
Analysis framework of off-site manufacturing solutions : case study of a powerhouse complex
Authors: Collot Pierre , Forgues Daniel , Rivest Louis
Published: April 2019

The quest for improved productivity and optimized construction costs are continuously challenging the industry. The experience gained from the manufacturing industry showed that off-site manufacturing appears to be a promising alternative to the classic way of building a powerhouse complex. However, ingularity of projects, sizes of powerhouse complexes and multiplicity of stakeholders greatly impact the integration of such practices. To fully assess the benefits of off-site manufacturing, and to guarantee its integration within the project, it is essential to understand the issues in order to characterize benefits related to construction projects in remote areas. In this paper, the research explores off-site manufacturing integration in the industrial context of a major Canadian utility company. One of the goals is to reduce the duration and costs of construction of a future powerhouse complex project through the use of off-site fabrication. The objective of this research is to maximize these benefits of off-site fabrication through the identification of the best available strategies. To do this, a strategic analysis is conducted to evaluate off-site fabrication impact over current processes. Then, an economic analysis estimates
the benefits of potential decisions made during the engineering phase. This research contributes to the construction industry by proposing an analysis framework for the identification of off-site manufacturing solutions in the context of a powerhouse complex project.
Addressing the Impact of Industrialized Components on the Cost of Temporary Heating in Cold-climate Regions
Authors: Dias Ferreira Regina , Barkokebas Beda , Secchi Lana , Gul Mustafa , Chen YuXiang , Al-Hussein Mohamed
Published: April 2019

In countries with cold climates such as Canada, the cost of providing space heating during the construction phase, also known as temporary heating, results in a significant additional construction cost, which causes budget deviations thus affecting the projectäó»s financial performance. In fact, the estimation of temporary heating is commonly overlooked due to the uncertainties such as weather forecast and the projectäó»s actual onsite schedule. The cost of temporary heating comprises two parts: (1) the cost of equipment rental, and (2) the fuel consumption required to heat a given area when the temperature falls below a certain threshold. The fuel consumption of the equipment is related to the temperature and exposure of the buildingäó»s envelope to the current weather conditions. Thus, the construction of the building envelope is critical to the reduction of fuel consumption and the consequent temporary heating cost of the project. In this context, the research presented in this paper aims to estimate the impacts of temporary heating for various constructive methods, such as the traditional stick-built practice and a few variations of panelized construction (in regard to the insulation used), by developing a simulation model to observe the variation of weather data, construction schedule, and fuel consumption for each scenario. To perform this analysis, a 4-story residential building located in the city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, is used as a case study in which the proposed scenarios are compared in order to address the advantages of industrialized components in reducing the cost of temporary heating.

Published: April 2019

On the basis of the heterogeneous casuistry that characterizes the students who refuse going to school, it is useful to have a classification of this population in homogeneous groups. For this, the aim of this study was, first, to identify by cluster analysis the profiles of school refusal behavior based on the functional model evaluated through the School Refusal Assessment Scale-Revised (SRAS-S). Secondly, it is intended to analyze if there are differences in social functioning scores according to the school refusal profiles identified. This study involved 1212 Spanish children between 8 and 11 years old (M=9.12, SD=1.05) who completed the SRAS-R to evaluate the school refusal behavior and the Child and Adolescent Social Adaptive Functioning Scale (CASAFS) to assess social functioning. Four profiles were identified: Non-school refusers, School refusers by mixed reinforcements, School refusers by tangible reinforcements and School refusers by negative reinforcements. The profile of Non-school refusers achieved the highest average scores in social functioning, while School refusers by mixed reinforcements group obtained the lowest average scores in social functioning. In general, the profiles found support the clusters identified in previous studies. The implications of social functioning on school refusal behavior are discussed.
The Least Number of Intersection Points in Currency Fluctuation and Well- Approximating Line Graph under Constraints of the Elliott Wave Principle
Authors: Nature Science
Published: April 2019

Recently producing profit by exchanging currency of one country with that of the other has been conducted among traders. This activity is called “FX” – the abbreviation of Foreign eXchange. The fluctuation of the price of currency is caused by the psychology of traders so that it apparently varies at random. However, after so many traders take part in FX, the trend of currency expectedly shows several patterns and is said to be subject to a certain principle which was firstly suggested by R.N.Elliott (1871-1948). In our recent research, we have tried to construct an algorithm relying on this Elliott wave principle and establish an automated transaction of FX by a computer. One of the aims of this PC-algorithm is to determine the line graph which well-approximates a real currency fluctuation under the constraints of the Elliott principle. In this paper, we will survey how to construct an algorithm for well-approximating line graph, and theoretically discuss the least number of intersection points in currency fluctuation and the well-approximating line graph, which enhances the validity of the algorithm.

Fritsch var. orbiculata Gabrielian (1978), allowed to identify significant additional features to clearly distinguish them from typical plants of S. graeca. We propose to consider these plants as an independent species S. orbiculata (Gabrielian) Gabrielian, comb. et stat. nov. Distinctive features of this species from S. graeca, as well as from other closely related species S. umbellata and S. taurica Zinserl. are shown.

This time geography of participants became wider; the conference united the colleagues from Arkhangelsk up to Khabarovsk, the foreign researchers from Estonia, Finland, Germany and Kazakhstan gave the talks for the first time. The questions of natural and anthropogenic dynamics of mires, their typology, synthaxonomy and flora of mires of poorly studied territories were discussed. Some presentations were focused on methodology of investigation of mire ecosystems, composition and structure of peat deposits. Results of paleoecology studies based on paleobotanic and palynologic methods using radiocarbon data were reported. Few reports demonstrated the results of mire restoration after rewetting. The new monography “Mires and peatlands of Europe” was presented. The participants discussed the idea of writing a book devoted to the Russian mires.
The Legalization of Reincarnation of Living Buddha
Authors: Zhu Yue
Published: April 2019

Reincarnation of living
Buddha is an important unique element in Tibetan Buddhism, and is indeed one of
the crucial issues related to the “Tibetan Question”. In general, the
legalization of the reincarnation has been witnessing a gradually deepening
process. In 1793, the Qing court established the Golden Urn method and
promulgated the 29-Article Imperial
Decree for Better Governing in Tibet, marking the beginning of the
legalization of reincarnation. In 1936, the Executive Yuan of the Republic of
China approved Measures on the
Reincarnation of Lamas which applied
in peripheral regions outside Central Tibet. In 2007, the People’s
Republic of China issued Measures on the
Management of the Reincarnation of Living Buddhas that for the first time
brought all the reincarnation systems in line with the rule of law.
Historically, the legalization of reincarnation was the result of the game
between secular regimes and Tibetan Buddhism sects. In essence, the
legalization of reincarnation in modern China is rooted in a particular
historical continuity since the Qing dynasty. The article aimed to develop a
better understanding of the reasons underlying the legalization of
reincarnation and provide the theoretical basis and factual basis for solving
the current crucial issues surrounding reincarnation. It also discussed the
crucial questions around reincarnation based on the legalization history of
reincarnation.
Keeping Multiple Views Consistent: Constraints, Validations, and Exceptions in Visualization Authoring
Authors: Qu Zening , Hullman Jessica
Published: April 2019

Visualizations often appear in multiples, either in a single display (e.g., small multiples, dashboard) or across time or space (e.g., slideshow, set of dashboards). However, existing visualization design guidelines typically focus on single rather than multiple views. Solely following these guidelines can lead to effective yet inconsistent views (e.g., the same field has different axes domains across charts), making interpretation slow and error-prone. Moreover, little is known how consistency balances with other design considerations, making it difficult to incorporate consistency mechanisms in visualization authoring software. We present a wizard-of-oz study in which we observed how Tableau users achieve and sacrifice consistency in an exploration-to-presentation visualization design scenario. We extend (from our prior work) a set of encoding-specific constraints defining consistency across multiple views. Using the constraints as a checklist in our study, we observed cases where participants spontaneously maintained consistent encodings and warned cases where consistency was overlooked. In response to the warnings, participants either revised views for consistency or stated why they thought consistency should be overwritten. We categorize participants’ actions and responses as constraint validations and exceptions, depicting the relative importance of consistency and other design considerations under various circumstances (e.g., data cardinality, available encoding resources, chart layout). We discuss automatic consistency checking as a constraint-satisfaction problem and provide design implications for communicating inconsistencies to users.
