ANALYZING FACTORS AFFECTING THE POVERTY IN FISHER COMMUNITIES IN NINH THUAN COAST
Authors: Pham Hong Manh , Phan Vinh An
Published: January 2019

This study aims to quantify factors affecting the poverty in fisher communities in the coast of Ninh Thuan province. Based on theories on poverty, we employed an econometric model to estimate the impact of each factor on the poverty of the households. We found that the rate of poor households remains high, at 10.6%. Factors causing the poverty include householder’s years of schooling, family size, and net fishing business. The model’s explanatory capacity is 36.2%. The results also show that in order to successfully combat the poverty, it is necessary to introduce career transition assistance policies, education and training as well as family planning to the fisher households.

Authors: Untari Rima , Priyarsono Dominicus Savio , Novianti Tanti
Published: January 2019

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays an important role in supporting economic growth and overcoming income inequality. ICT infrastructure functions to facilitate the use of ICT by economic actors through ICT devices. Previous research used more data between countries or between districts/cities while Indonesia consisted of provinces with different social and economic characteristics. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of ICT infrastructure on economic growth and income inequality in Indonesia using provincial panel data for the period 2011-2016. The results of the analysis of simultaneous equation models using the Two Stages Least Square (TSLS) method state that ICT infrastructure indicators consisting of cellular telephone ownership, internet accessibility, and the number of Base Transceiver Station (BTS) significantly has a positive impact on economic growth. In addition, these ICT infrastructure variables indirectly have an impact on income inequality through economic growth. Other results obtained are that government spending on ICTs do not significantly impact economic growth and income inequality in Indonesia. The conclusion is that ICT infrastructure has a direct impact on economic growth and an indirect impact on income inequality.

Published: January 2019

Co-creation is described as the involvement of consumers as active members in the sellers’ firms for the creation of value benefitting both parties. Connecting value co-creation with cooperative members in Malaysia however is new in the literature as very little studies have attempted to understand such perspectives. Thus, the purpose of this study is to deepen the understanding and explore variables that could link value co-creation with cooperative member’s loyalty. Using focus group interview as the method of data collection, findings reveal that loyalty among cooperative members are likely to be derived when co-creation lead to economic benefits and enhance relationship quality. Ultimately, such loyalty progress towards building commitment and trusting relationships among members.

Viðtökur á verkum Þórarins B. Þorlákssonar
Authors: Helgason Hlynur
Published: January 2019

Þórarinn B. Þorláksson (1867–1924) has been credited with being the first Icelandic professional painter. His reception, both during his lifetime and posthumously, is therefore an interesting indication of the changes in the outlook and ideology surrounding the reception of Scandinavian fin­de­siécle art up to the present. He was honourably mentioned by his contemporaries and then was forgotten in the upheavals surrounding the adoption of modern styles, such as abstract art, in Ice­land around the Second World War. He re­gained attention in the sixties and has since then been revered as an important, though problematic, pioneer of Icelandic painting. This has in recent years been especially evident in the way he has been mentioned in the context of the revival of Nordic and Scandinavian late 19th and early 20th century art in Northern­Europe and America. The paper reviews and analyses the historical reception Þorláksson has received and the way his work has been inscribed into the narrative of Icelandic and Scandinavian Art History. This process is an attempt to understand and contextualise Þorláksson’s work in aesthetic terms, while at the same time function as a critical mirror of the trends and ideolo­gies surrounding the Nordic revival in recent years.

Published: January 2019

Mushrooms are consumed for their flavor, aroma, nutritive and medicinal values. The basis of this study is to boost protein production for human consumption. Studies were conducted to investigate the growth and yield of Pleurotus tuber-regium (Fr) Singer on four sawdust types derived from mango, cassia, neem and their mixed bed. The treatments consisted of factorial combination in complete randomized design at three different weeks of composting intervals (WCI) of 4, 8 and 12 in three replicates. A progressive increment in the growth and yield parameters was observed. The data taken were sclerotia weight (SW), biological efficiency (BE), production efficiency (PE), mycelia extension and average extension per day. Data collected were subjected to analysis of variance and the means were separated by Duncan’s multiple range test. The results obtained revealed that while cassia sawdust substrate produced was best in terms of SW, BE and PE (35.34 g, 33.66% and 13.51% respectively) at 8WCI, mango sawdust produced the highest SW (37.44 g), BE (35.66%) and PE (18.28%) at 12 WCI. While the mixed bed produced the least SW at both 4 and 8 WCI in comparison with others, neem produced the least SW at 12 WCI. However, the longest mycelia extensions and extension per day were obtained in neem at the 4 and 8 WCI. As the composting intervals increased, there was a significant increment in the yield from mango sawdust thus making it the best among all the sawdusts investigated in this study.

Published: January 2019

A country's mobility pattern is largely influenced by its previous historical development and current socio-economic situation. Hungary and Romania, due partly to the legacy of their socialist past, share many of their social and economic characteristics, which differ from countries in Western Europe. Such differences are also present when looking at the issue of international youth mobility, which contrast not only by rate but also by type in post-socialist countries when compared to Western Europe. The main objective of the present paper is to analyse the differences and similarities between Eastern and Western European countries with regard to one mobility programme – Erasmus+. The article presents the differences looking at macro data and quantitative questionnaire data.

Authors: Khatun A , Shamsi S , Bashar MA
Published: January 2019

Present paper deals with the occurrence and diversity of fungi on storage cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) seeds. 24 species of the fungi were found associated with the seeds of 14 varieties of cotton after 10 months of storage. The isolated fungi were Aspergillus flavus Link, A. fumigatus Fresenius, A. niger (Type 1 and Type 2) Van Tiegh, A. ochraceus K. Wilhelm, A. nidulans Eidam, Aspergillus sp.1, Aspergillus sp.2, Aspergillus sp.3, Curvularia lunata (Wakker) Boedijn, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz & Sacc, C. gossypii Southw., Chaetomium globosum Kunze., Fusarium nivale (Fr.) Sorauer, F. moniliforme J. Shelden, F. oxysporum Schlechtendal, F. fujikuroi Nirenberg, Mucor sp. P. Micheli ex L., Penicillium sp.1 and sp.2 Link, Rhizoctonia solani Khun., Rhizopus stolonifer (Ehrenb.) Vuill., Rhizomucor Lucet & Costantin, Syncephalastrum racemosum Cohn and Trichoderma viride Pers. The association of fungi with cotton seeds was recorded within two months of harvest, after 6 and 10 months of storage. The association of fungi varied with duration of storage periods. Aspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, A. niger, Chaetomium globosum, Penicillium sp.1 and Rhizopus stolonifer were found in all the examined varieties. These were the most predominant fungi in terms of prevalence with the increase of storage periods. The fungal association with the seeds of cotton also affected the germination, seedling mortality, height and vigor. The total association of fungi in cotton seeds was the highest in cotton variety CB10 (204) and the lowest in CB8 (71). On the other hand, the total fungal association of Rhizopus stolonifer was the highest (337) and Colletotrichum gossypii was the lowest (1).

Authors: Sharmin S , Rahman SH , Naser MN , Hoque S
Published: January 2019

The abundance of macro benthic organisms was observed from a migratory bird visiting lake in Jahangirnagar University, Savar for a period from July 2016 to June 2017. A total of 22 species belonging to three phyla (viz. Mollusca, Annelida and Arthropoda) and 14 families was recorded with maximum abundance in summer season and minimum in winter season. Molluscan population (37%) was dominant in benthos, followed by Annelida (31%) and Arthropoda (28%). Average values of water temperature, dissolved oxygen and water pH were within standard permissible ranges in the aquatic habitats of the country. Water and soil parameters were in suitable ranges for the growth and abundance of benthos. Correlation indicated that Mollusca and Annelida were closely dependent on water temperature, water pH, water depth, soil organic carbon and soil organic matters, whereas Arthropoda had less dependency on them. In the present study lower Shanon-Wiener diversity index (2.55-2.92) and low species richness (18-24) clearly demonstrated that the lake is moderately polluted.

OzFoodNet quarterly report, 1 October to 31 December 2015
Authors:   The OzFoodNet Working Group
Published: January 2019

The Australian Government Department of Health established the OzFoodNet network in 2000 to collaborate nationally to investigate foodborne disease. In each Australian state and territory, OzFoodNet epidemiologists investigate outbreaks of enteric infection. In addition, OzFoodNet conducts studies on the burden of illness and coordinates national investigations into outbreaks of foodborne disease. This quarterly report documents investigations of outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness and clusters of disease potentially related to food, which commenced in Australia between 1 October and 31 December 2015.
Data were received from OzFoodNet epidemiologists in all Australian states and territories. The data in this report are provisional and subject to change.
During the 4th quarter of 2015 (1 October to 31 December), OzFoodNet sites reported 585 outbreaks of enteric illness, including those transmitted by contaminated food or water. Outbreaks of gastroenteritis are often not reported to health authorities, which results in current figures under-representing the true burden of enteric disease outbreaks within Australia. There were 10,184 people affected in these outbreaks and 240 hospitalisations. There were 22 deaths reported during these outbreaks. This represents an increase in the number of people affected compared with the 5-year average from 2010 to 2014 for the 4th quarter (n=9,077). The majority of reported outbreaks of gastrointestinal illness in Australia are due to person-to-person transmission. In this quarter, 80% (469/585) of outbreaks were transmitted via this route (see Table 1). This percentage was similar to the same quarter in 2014 (78%, 469/601). The total number and the proportion is also similar to the 5-year average (4th quarter, 2010-2014) of 409 outbreaks (79%, 409/518) outbreaks transmitted person-to-person. Of the person-to-person outbreaks in the 4th quarter of 2015, 46% (216/469) occurred in child care facilities and 41% (193/469) occurred in aged care facilities.
Four recent ciguatera fish poisoning incidents in New South Wales, Australia linked to imported fish
Authors: Edwards Alan , Zammit Anthony , Farrell Hazel
Published: January 2019

Between 2015 and 2017, the NSW Food Authority investigated 4 ciguatera fish poisoning incidents linked to fish caught in tropical Australian and international waters and imported to New South Wales. Three of the implicated fish were caught near the Capel Bank Seamount, part of the Lord Howe Island Seamount Chain off the coast of Queensland. The fourth incident, in 2017, involved a fish caught between Cooktown and Lizard island, also off the Queensland coast. Thirteen individuals were affected. Early identification of potential Ciguatera fish poisoning (CFP) cases can facilitate a faster incident response, patient diagnosis and treatment. While different fish species were involved, and the severity and duration of symptoms varied between individuals, 3 of the 4 incidents were distinguished by those affected having consumed a fish meal prepared with the head of the fish. Affected individuals also described a sensation of hot/cold temperature reversal or a painful ‘sharpness’ when in contact with or drinking cold water. This paper outlines a series of incidents where a case’s symptoms, which can vary substantially in conjunction with their previous exposure history, the type of fish consumed and how the fish was cooked, can be used to identify potential CFP cases and hence CFP risks that may need to be addressed.

Bu
araştırmanın amacı; maneviyat ve sosyal hizmet ilişkisini ortaya koyarak sosyal
çalışmacıların, maneviyata ve manevi konulara ilişkin kişisel ve mesleki bakış
açılarını keşfetmek ve betimlemektir. Bununla beraber sosyal çalışmacıların,
uygulama sürecinde maneviyat konusuna yaklaşımları, maneviyat ile ilgili yöntem
ve teknikleri, maneviyatın sürece dâhil olmasıyla ilgili duygu ve düşünceleri
ve maneviyat açısından sosyal hizmet eğitim programlarına yönelik görüşleri
araştırılmıştır. Yapılan çalışma karma yöntem desenlerinden biri olan
“açımlayıcı sıralı desene” göre tasarlanmıştır. İlk aşamada online olarak 218
sosyal çalışmacı ile anket çalışması yapılmıştır. İkinci aşamada 18 sosyal
çalışmacıyla yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile görüşmeler
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu çalışma sonucunda, sosyal çalışmacıların maneviyat ve
sosyal hizmet uygulaması bağlamında tam anlamıyla donanımlı olmadıkları,
maneviyatla ilgili bilgi seviyelerinin düşük olduğu ancak maneviyata ilgi
duydukları ve daha çok bilgilenme arzusunda oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Sosyal
çalışmacıların maneviyata duyarlı sosyal hizmet ile ilgili düşüncelerini daha

Ruh Sağlığı Alanında İyileşme Yaklaşımı Ve Psikiyatrik Sosyal Hizmet
Authors: Nişancı Aslıhan
Published: January 2019

Bu makalede iyileşme yaklaşımının kısa tarihsel ve
düşünsel arka planı sunulmakta ve yaklaşımın temel unsurları sosyal hizmet ile
ilişkisi bağlamında değerlendirilmektedir. İyileşme yaklaşımını temel alarak
ortaya konmuş bir uygulama modeli ele alınarak, yaklaşımın psikiyatrik sosyal
hizmet uygulamaları, sosyal hizmet eğitimi ve araştırması için önemi ortaya
konmaktadır. Psikiyatrik sosyal hizmet alanında özelleşmiş sosyal hizmet
uzmanları psikiyatrik tedavi sürecinin tüm aşamalarında yer alabilir, ruh sağlığı
sistemlerini ve politikalarını yönetebilir ve yönlendirebilirler. Sosyal hizmet
disiplini patoloji odaklı modern psikiyatriye yaptığı eleştiri ile engellilik
hareketi, kadın hareketi, hizmet alan hareketi gibi hareketlerle birlikte
eleştirel psikiyatri akımının doğmasına zemin hazırlayan kaynaklar arasındadır.
Söz konusu modern psikiyatri eleştirileri ruh sağlığı alanında iyileşme
yaklaşımını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Son yıllarda ruh sağlığı alanındaki
uygulamaları ve ülkelerin ruh sağlığı politikalarını dönüştüren iyileşme
yaklaşımı, sosyal hizmet mesleğinin temel ilke ve değerleri ile örtüşmektedir.
Bu nedenlerle iyileşme yaklaşımı hem psikiyatrik sosyal hizmet alanındaki
sosyal hizmet uygulamalarına yön verebilir, hem de ruh sağlığı sistemlerinin
sosyal hizmet bakış açısına uyumlu şekilde dönüştürülmesine öncülük edebilir.
Sosyal Hizmette Bir Postmodern Terapi Olarak Anlatı Terapisi

Published: January 2019

Bu
çalışmanın temel amacı anlatı terapisinin kuramsal dayanaklarını ve
tekniklerini tartışmak ve sosyal hizmet açısından sunduğu imkânları görünür
kılmaktır. Sosyal hizmet özü itibariyle modernizmden temel alır. Bu nedenle
sosyal hizmetteki teori, yaklaşım ve uygulamaların çoğunlukla modernist
paradigmadan beslendiği söylenebilir. Oysa anlatı terapisi postmodern bir
terapi biçimidir. Anlatı terapisi, sosyal inşacılık ve post-yapısalcılık gibi
kuramsal dayanaklara sahiptir. Klasik sosyal hizmet uygulamaları ve
psikoterapilerde, problemleri bireyin kişiliğinin bir parçası olarak ele alma
ve patolojik bir bakış hâkimdir. Oysa sosyal inşacı yaklaşımı benimseyen anlatı
terapisinde danışman patoloji ya da eksikliğe değil, sosyal ve kültürel
süreçlere odaklanmaktadır. Anlatı terapisinde kullanılan en önemli teknik,
bireyi problemin dışına çekmeye yarayan dışsallaştırma tekniğidir. Anlatı
terapisi, temel olarak insanların probleme doygun baskın anlatılarını yapı-sökümüne
uğratmak ve onların alternatif hikâyelerinden yeni bir anlatı inşa etmek
üzerine kuruludur. Bu nedenle anlatı terapisinin öne sürdüğü argümanların,
sorgusuz sualsiz kabul edilen gerçeklikleri sarstığı ve sosyal hizmetin
gelişimi için yeni bir kapı araladığı söylenebilir. 
Density functional studies of magneto-optic properties of Sr2GdReO6
Authors: Berri Saadi , Chami Sabah , Attallah Mourad , Oumertem Mouloud , Maouche Djamel
Published: January 2019

The electronic structure and magneto-optic properties of the Sr2GdReO6 double perovskite were investigated using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method. Exchange correlation effects are treated using the generalized gradient approximations GGA, GGA + U and GGA + U + SOC approachs. At ambient conditions, these calculation predict a half-metallic character for Sr2GdReO6 material. The electronic band structures and density of states demonstrate that Sr2GdReO6 is HM with a magnetic moment of 9 µB/fu and HM flip gap of 1.82 eV. The half metallicity is attributed by the double-exchange interaction mechanism via the Gd(4f)–O(2p)–Re(t2g) π-bounding. These new double perovskite may become ideal candidate material for future spintronic applications. The analysis charge densities show that bonding character as a mixture of covalent and ionic nature. The optical properties are analyzed and the origin of some peaks in the spectra is described. Besides, the dielectric function ε(ω), refractive index n (ω) and extinction coefficient K (ω) for radiation up to 14 eV have also been reported.

Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To study the atypical presentations of retinoblastoma in our institution.

Method: Retrospective, clinical study.

Results: A total of 392 cases of retinoblastoma were reviewed; 72.2% of the patients had !eukocoria, 13% had proptosis, 10% had strabismus, 1.5% were asymptomatic (detected on screening), and 3.3% had atypical presentations. Fourteen different atypical findings were observed including endophthalmitis (0.76%), secondary glaucoma (0.76%), uveitis (0.5%), corneal edema (0.5%), phthisis bulbi (0.5%), orbital cellulitis (0.5%), cataract (0.25%), pseudohypopyon (0.25%), iris nodules (0.25%), hyphema (0.25%), iris neovascularization (0.25%), microphthalmos (0.25%), exposure keratopathy (0.25%), and corneal blood staining (0.25%). All of the patients had Reese-Ellsworth grade V disease. On histopathology, invasion of neighboring structures was seen in 10 patients. All patients underwent enucleation with adjuvant radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or both.

Conclusions: Retinoblastoma can mimic any orbital or ocular pathology. Atypical presentations of retinoblastomas are usually associated with advanced disease. The possibility of ocular tumor should be entertained whenever there is an unusual presentation that is unresponsive to the usual therapy. Uftrasonography and computed tomography should be performed in all such patients, especially if the posterior segment is not visible.

Published: January 2019

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To describe the surveillance, results of screening, and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in a university hospital setting in southeast France.

Patients and Methods: Five hundred two premature infants were included in the screening protocol between January 1997 and December 1999. Criteria for inclusion in the study were a gestational age of 32 weeks or younger, a birth weight of less than 1,501 g, or both. The first fundus examination was performed between 4 and 6 weeks of life. Thereafter, fundus examination was performed in the absence of ROP every 2 weeks until complete retinal vasculature developed, gestational age of 50 weeks, or death. Examination was weekly in cases of retinopathy, biweekly if progression was ascertained, and less frequent only if regression was evident. Hospital records were reviewed to assess the presence or absence and eventual degree of ROP.

Results: Stage 1 was observed in 32 infants, and stage 2 in 11 infants; all of these cases regressed. Three cases of bilateral stage 3 (two threshold and one prethreshold) disease underwent diode laser peripheral retinal ablation and regressed. One infant with bilateral stage 3 disease who underwent peripheral cryoablative surgery progressed to stage 4A in one eye and 4B in the other eye and then underwent scierai buckling surgery in the second eye.

Conclusions: Despite survival increasing with improved neonatal intensive care, the incidence of ROP does not appear to be increasing. In our center, the incidence appears to be lower than previously reported.

ABSTRACT

Background: Children undergoing strabismus surgery have a high incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. Ondansetron plus dexamethasone is effective in reducing its incidence in many surgical procedures.

Purpose: To examine the efficacy of Ondansetron plus dexamethasone in children undergoing strabismus surgery.

Patients and Methods: A randomized, placebocontrolled, double blind study of 100 children 2 to 12 years old, in American Society of Anesthesiologists classes I and II, and undergoing strabismus surgery with the use of general anesthesia was conducted. Children received normal saline (n = 31), an injection of 0.15 mg/kg of ondansetron (n = 39), or an injection of 0.15 mg/kg of ondansetron and 0.2 mg/kg of dexamethasone (n = 30). Postoperatively, children were monitored for the number of emetic episodes, Steward recovery score, and need for a rescue antiemetic.

Results: The incidence of vomiting was 64.5% in the group receiving saline, 33.3% in the group receiving ondansetron, and 10% in the group receiving ondansetron plus dexamethasone (P < .001). The incidence of early vomiting (0 to 4 hours) and the need for a rescue antiemetic were significantly lower in the groups receiving ondansetron (P < .01) and ondansetron plus dexamethasone (P < .001) compared with the group receiving saline; however, the former two groups were comparable in this regard. In the late postoperative period (4 to 24 hours), the incidence of vomiting and the need for a rescue antiemetic were not significantly different among the groups. Vomiting was significantly more severe in the group receiving saline compared with the groups receiving ondansetron and ondansetron plus dexamethasone at all times (P < .01 and P < .001, respectively). However, the latter two groups were comparable in this regard.

Conclusion: Ondansetron and ondansetron plus dexamethasone were equally effective in preventing early nausea and vomiting in children following strabismus surgery. However, the efficacy of dexamethasone in late postoperative nausea and vomiting could not be demonstrated. Further studies with a large population and different doses of dexamethasone may be warranted.

Authors: Saraf Kundankumar Rameshwar , Jesudason Malathi P.
Published: January 2019

This chapter explores the encryption techniques used for the internet of things (IoT). The security algorithm used for IoT should follow many constraints of an embedded system. Hence, lightweight cryptography is an optimum security solution for IoT devices. This chapter mainly describes the need for security in IoT, the concept of lightweight cryptography, and various cryptographic algorithms along with their shortcomings given IoT. This chapter also describes the principle of operation of all the above algorithms along with their security analysis. Moreover, based on the algorithm size (i.e., the required number of gate equivalent, block size, key size, throughput, and execution speed of the algorithm), the chapter reports the comparative analysis of their performance. The chapter discusses the merits and demerits of these algorithms along with their use in the IoT system.

Authors: Gill Harsuminder Kaur , Verma Anil Kumar , Sandhu Rajinder
Published: January 2019

With the growth of Internet of Things and user demand for personalized applications, context-aware applications are gaining popularity in current IT cyberspace. Personalized content, which can be a notification, recommendation, etc., are generated based on the contextual information such as location, temperature, and nearby objects. Furthermore, contextual information can also play an important role in security management of user or device in real time. When the context of a user or device changes, the security mechanisms should also be updated in real time for better performance and quality of service. Access to a specific resource may also be dependent upon user's/device's current context. In this chapter, the role of contextual information for IoT application security is discussed and a framework is provided which auto-updates security policy of the device based on its current context. Proposed framework makes use of machine learning algorithm to update the security policies based on the current context of the IoT device(s).

Published: January 2019

In an effort to address financial constraints and environmental concerns states have increasingly turned to a combination of un-tolled (HOV) and tolled (HOT) lanes. Public-private partnerships (3Ps) are a popular mechanism for this more sustainable approach to highway infrastructure that couples environmental sustainability (efficient utilization of existing lanes, less congestion) with financial sustainability (private investment). This chapter offers an approach to 3P contract writing for HOV/HOT facilities that is structured by a stakeholder analysis of actors in the project accountability environment. By analyzing two Virginia 3P highway projects, the chapter shows it is possible to build into a contract a set of terms and conditions to enhance the likelihood of meeting the goals of multiple stakeholders. By necessity, such contracts cannot specify precise monetary returns and other stakeholder benefits, but they can be written to include trade-offs to minimize losses to one party at the expense of another.
Comprehensive Reform of the University Governance System in China
Authors: Wang Yan , Li Ruixue
Published: January 2019

This chapter introduces and discusses changes with respect to the university governance system in China which is in the process of creating a world-class university by taking Tongji University as an example. It presents an analytical framework on the basis of four powers: (1) the internal democratic nature of the governance structure, (2) the external involvement in university governance, (3) the level of centralization of the decision-making authority in the university, and (4) the concentration of authority in an individual leadership position versus authority in a collective body or spread over various collective bodies. It analyzes and summarizes the reforms of three colleges at Tongji University in these four aspects and puts forward some reasonable suggestions for other universities.
“Research and Innovation” as an Integral Part of Strategic University Governance
Authors: Cornelis Jan Paul Herman
Published: January 2019

The chapter sketches some governance features of a medium-sized, comprehensive, urban, public university that are essential to ensure the delicate equilibrium between structured, efficient management and openness towards the changing society, exceptional personalities and breakthrough thinking. Features of university governance are analyzed at all levels, from rectorate to schools (faculties), departments, and research groups. “Research” and “innovation and valorization with societal impact” are situated in relation to three other main academic pillars, namely education, student affairs, and institution-wide internationalization. Building blocks are described and assembled in a coherent governance structure. Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) case is taken as an example. Generalization of the discussed concepts should be done with care because choices are dependent on the university's vision, strategic plan, and road map, and one single best governance structure that is appropriate for all contexts does not exist.
Vision and Strategic Planning of University Governance
Authors: Köksal Gülser , İlkuçan Altan
Published: January 2019

This chapter describes the participative and iterative strategic planning process that was used in Middle East Technical University (METU), as a “good practice” for other institutions of higher education in two major stages: (1) preparation of the strategic plan and (2) its deployment to all organizational units via a catch-ball approach. Both stages are iterative as they involve consecutive phases of collection, evaluation, sharing, and alignment of findings along with strategies, first among different strategic planning areas in the preparation stage, and second among different organizational units in the deployment stage. It is participative in that a large body of internal stakeholder representatives organized into various cross functional teams have carried out strategic planning at the university level. A support team assumes a critical role in coordinating the studies carried out by separate committees, and reporting the process its outcomes to University Strategic Planning Council to ensure the consistency.
Africa Under the Impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Authors: Chirisa Innocent , Mavhima Brilliant
Published: January 2019

The chapter stresses that Africa requires a clear position of how “leapfrogging” into the FOIR should be informed by clear and unambiguous policy goals and strategies so that a sustainable development route is created. Political will, global connectivity, and straightforward pathways are fused in the menu. Africa is neither a monolithic nor a homogenous space where events and developments happen in a linear pattern. The traditional perspective about Africa perceives the region as motley of so many variations and controversies – spatial, temporal, gender, racial, and ideological. This is evident from the fact that Africa has portions of its economy that are pre-modern, modern, and post-modern. The “resource curse” phenomenon seems to hold water in both debate and practice in some circles. Countries and states should avoid falling into the proverbial trap of unequal exchange in form of transacting the natural endowments that Africa is known for.
Economic and Environmental Effects of Rural and Urban Shrinkage Transformation Processes in Mexico
Authors: Vargas-Hernández José G. , Kyari Adam Konto
Published: January 2019

The purpose of this chapter is to analyze the empirical-theoretical approaches to shrinking cities in Mexico. The study of tendencies in economic and environmental shrinkage is tied to the expressions of substantive changes in the complexity of determinant contexts of internal and migration flows. The method used is the critical analysis of economic, social, and political tendencies in relation to the situation of shrinking cities in Mexico. The results of this analysis led to the finding that the shrinkage process in Mexico, as a developing and emerging economy, does not follow the same patterns of well developed countries, where an increase in shrinking cities has occurred since the middle of the 1950s, and the use of incentives in some localities to attract economic growth have had modest success to turn around the shrinking process. Further research on shrinking cities should be done in Mexico. Finally, this chapter analyzes some of the important issues and problems that are important to set an agenda for future research in Mexico.

Published: January 2019

Innovations in the modern world are not simply connected with the opportunities of digital technologies but also largely based on them. This is exactly why the full-fledged successive industrial sector's digitization will become a platform for qualitative changes of the economy and long-term opportunities. Thus, the transition to digital technologies is inevitable, but from another perspective, this very transition cannot be the absolute goal. In this chapter, the authors aimed at providing a better understanding for Industry 4.0 concept and its application benefits for Russia. The main problem is how the Russian Federation acts against the economically developed countries, which are the creators of Industry 4.0. This chapter mainly focuses on presenting the authors' views on how to sustain and increase competitive advantage of the Russian Federation by catching and implementing Industry 4.0. With Industry 4.0, Russian Federation gets a bigger share of the world manufacturing value chain.
The Role of Industrial Development in Nigeria's Transformation From Oil to Cities
Authors: Bena Rabiu Abdullahi
Published: January 2019

Nigeria, as the giant of Africa, is in a state of limbo because of its overreliance on oil money, which retarded its level of growth and development. The discovery of crude oil forced the Nigerian government to shift attention away from agriculture. This neglect of agriculture negatively affected Nigeria as both agriculture and manufacturing activities were halted. Ironically, the growth created by oil revenue was not sustained and directed to the other sectors of the economy for widespread multiplier effects. As declining oil prices reveal the economic weaknesses of the country, there is pressure for Nigeria to seek an alternative means of revenue. Nigeria is now transitioning from oil to industrial cities. It is against this background that this chapter is illustrating how the economy's overdependence on oil is transitioning to a more diversified alternative by transforming cities. This chapter focuses on Birnin Kebbi as a case study for a medium-size city that has huge growth potential.

Authors: Nebdi Hamid
Published: January 2019

Our nearest shining star, the Sun, source of radiations and energy, sometimes generates severe events and phenomena in space which can affect our technology and biosphere. On the other hand, space weather, as defined by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is conditions on the Sun and in the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere that can influence the performance and reliability of space-borne and ground-based technological systems and can endanger human life or health. A brief description of the Sun-Earth connection is firstly presented. Secondly, a particular attention is given to highlight the Sun's variability and the link between the space weather and climate change by means of some recent studies.

Climate change may potentially disrupt progress toward a world without hunger. Today, a clear and consistent global pattern is perceptible of the different impacts of climate change on crop productivity that could have repercussions on food security. Consequently, the stability of the whole food systems may be at risk under climate change because of its unpredictable variations. Indeed, agricultural production is highly vulnerable even to 2°C predictions augmentation for global mean temperatures in 2100, with major implications for poverty and for food security. The climate change impacts seem to be clear in areas currently affected by hunger and undernutrition, which will heighten food insecurity in these parts of the world. Therefore, adapting food systems both to increase food security and to prevent future negative impacts from climate change will require attention to more than just agricultural production. The evidence sustains the need for thoughtful investment in adaptation and mitigation actions toward an efficient management of climate change influences on food security.
