Authors: Simbolon Freddy
Published: October 2016

The number of frequent troubles at one bank may cause a decrease of customer trust. Customer will reconsider whether continuing to safe their deposits or moving to other banks. One factor that may influence the customer retention is the switching costs, that are the fee which must be borne by the customer along the transformations of one product to a service or a service to a product or even a certain service to another service. In fact switching costs will not only appear just as a consequence when a transformation is done or appear only as an economic cost. But when one process of transformation happens, many possibilities of cost may arise such as procedural costs, financial loss costs and psychological loss costs. Therefore the correct determination about switching costs might be an important information for customers so that they may consider the relevant costs arise when they decide to move to other banks. If the costs they will have to bear exceeds the benefit they will get, it is expected that they will reconsider to stay faithful and diminish their desire to move to other banks.

This study empirically examines the effect of sales call anxiety (SCA) on salesperson performance, good performance in the form of sales volume and sales interactions. This study tested the hypothesis to identify early factors (antecedents) that may affect the sales call anxiety (SCA). Initial factors suspected as the cause of anxiety in sales interactions (SCA) are divided into two conditions, namely canvassing and closing condition. Canvassing consisted of meeting new people, customer with high social status, and being assertive, while the closing is a condition consisting of asking for commitment, and discussing performance with sales manager.

A comparison of simple and complex versions of the Xinanjiang hydrological model in predicting runoff in ungauged basins
Authors: Bai Peng , Liu Xiaomang , Liang Kang , Liu Xiaojie , Liu Changming
Published: October 2016

There are different views on the selection of hydrological model structural complexity for streamflow prediction in ungauged basins. Some studies suggest that complex models are better than simple models due to the former's prediction capability; whereas some studies favor parsimonious model structures to overcome a risk of over-parameterization. The Xinanjiang (XAJ) model, the most widely used hydrological model in China, has two different versions, as follows: (1) the simple version with seven parameters (XAJ7) and (2) the complex version with 14 parameters (XAJ14). In this study, the two versions of the XAJ model were comprehensively evaluated for streamflow prediction in ungauged basins based on their efficiency, parameter identifiability, and independence. The results showed that the complex XAJ14 model was more flexible than the simple XAJ7 in calibration mode; while the two models have similar performance in validation and regionalization modes. Lack of parameter identifiability and the presence of parameter interdependence most likely explain why the complex XAJ14 cannot consistently outperform the XAJ7 in different modes. Therefore, the simple XAJ7 is a better choice than XAJ14 for streamflow prediction in ungauged basins.
Highlights of key international water infrastructure asset management initiatives, and trends, challenges and developments in Portugal
Authors: Amaral R. , Alegre H. , Matos J. S.
Published: October 2016

Over the last two decades, remarkable progress in the Portuguese drinking water and wastewater services sector has been achieved. Nevertheless, it faces a serious challenge in trying to ensure long-term sustainability. There is equally scope for considerable efficiency and effectiveness gains. The national strategic plan for the period 2014–2020 has assigned a prominent role to infrastructure asset management (IAM) in the paradigm shift required in water services. This paper discusses the progress made, the critical issues and the challenges faced by the Portuguese water sector regarding IAM, based on a comparative analysis of international and national contexts. Various worldwide initiatives are presented. The main drivers to start using IAM were quite diverse. In Portugal, legislation initially contributed to attracting the attention of the sector to IAM, but LNEC, a research institute, has played a leading role in this process. The water services regulator has also been playing a very important role. The highly fragmented structure, the politicised nature of municipal water utility management and the existing accounting procedures are some of the main barriers to the spread of IAM best practices. The sector's ongoing restructuring and the new tariff regulation will be key enabling opportunities and challenges in coming years.
Água de montanha: um estudo de caso na França sobre a relação entre empresa, território e produção e produto
Authors: Ambrosini Larissa Bueno , Giraud Georges
Published: October 2016

As regiões montanhosas são consideradas áreas desfavorecidas do ponto de vista do desenvolvimento econômico, pois contam com baixa densidade populacional e fraca atividade industrial. Esse contexto contribuiu para que as fontes de água localizadas em montanhas tivessem menos contato com substâncias contaminantes e atividades poluidoras. A água proveniente dessas regiões é, assim, associada à pureza. A indústria de água envasada, um dos mercados mais dinâmicos do segmento de bebidas, vem tirando benefício da relação entre altitude e pureza. Considerando o território e a importância do recurso natural mencionado, propomos um estudo de caso com o objetivo de analisar a influência da relação empresa-território no caso de usinas situadas em zonas de montanha, e que utilizam em seus produtos a denominação “água de fonte de montanha”. Trata-se de um estudo de caso sobre um recurso natural importante o qual ainda é pouco abordado no meio acadêmico. Nossos resultados demonstram que a exploração de fontes em zonas de montanha auxilia a criar postos de trabalho localmente e contribui com a receita dos municípios onde as plantas industriais estão localizadas. Entretanto, trata-se de um produto cuja sustentabilidade em longo prazo é discutível.

O método adotado para a poda verde foi a eliminação de ramos ladrões verticais e ramos voltados ao centro da copa e o desponte dos ramos acima de 2,3 m do solo. Foram avaliados a massa total colhida, a massa média do fruto, os diâmetros do fruto, a acidez titulável, o grau Brix, o pH e a relação Brix/Acidez. Não houve influência das diferentes épocas de poda verde em relação à produção de frutos por planta, ao tamanho do fruto e à qualidade química dos pêssegos colhidos, com exceção do pH do suco que aumentou ao longo das três safras analisadas. Concluiu-se que a poda verde realizada de 15 a 75 dias antes da colheita não influenciou na produção e na qualidade de pêssegos produzidos em alta densidade.

Published: October 2016

A poda verde da ameixeira é um trato cultural que mobiliza muita mão de obra, implicando em elevação do custo de produção da fruta sem garantia de aumento da qualidade do pêssego colhido. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar o efeito da poda verde em ameixeiras ‘Polirosa’ em alta densidade sobre a qualidade de frutos produzidos nos anos agrícolas de 2010 e 2011, em Fazenda Rio Grande, Paraná. Os tratamentos avaliados em cada ano foram: testemunha sem poda verde, uma poda verde realizada a 60 dias antes da colheita (AC), duas podas verdes a 60 e 90 dias AC e três podas verdes realizadas a 30, 60 e 90 dias AC. Na poda verde foram eliminados os ramos ladrões com orientação vertical, ramos novos voltados ao centro da copa e o desponte dos ramos acima de 2,3 m do solo. Foram avaliados a massa média do fruto, os diâmetros do fruto, a acidez titulável, o grau Brix, o pH e a relação Brix/Acidez. O delineamento experimental adotado foi de blocos casualizados num esquema de parcelas subdivididas no tempo, com seis repetições. A qualidade física e química das ameixas produzidas com diversos tratamentos de poda verde não foi alterada. A diferença entre os anos de produção indicou que outros fatores estão relacionados à qualidade de ameixas ‘Polirosa’. Concluiu-se que a poda verde da ameixeira ‘Polirosa’ em dois anos sucessivos não proporcionou incremento significativo na qualidade dos frutos colhidos.

O referencial teórico apoiou-se nos conceitos de inclusão social e produtiva enquanto forma de cidadania ampliada, conforme Doyal e Gough (1991; 1994); e nos conceitos de desenvolvimento como liberdade, através de políticas de redistribuição e apoio ao desenvolvimento, conforme propõem Amartya Sen (1999) e Thomas Pikkety (2014).  Os resultados iniciais do trabalho, embora as dificuldades de acesso aos dados não permitam a generalização de conclusões, indicam que o programa estudado apresenta limitações em promover a inclusão social e produtiva dos catadores de forma efetiva.

Published: October 2016

Este artigo constitui um recorte de pesquisa de mestrado e tem como objetivo apresentar o processo educacional de uma aluna com deficiência visual – baixa visão no Ensino Superior, durante o seu primeiro semestre letivo, em um curso de engenharia da UFRN. A análise de sua trajetória acadêmica aponta que, embora o caso estudado faça parte de uma realidade em que há uma política institucional que contempla a temática da inclusão, ainda se faz necessário avançar nas questões relativas às práticas e mediação pedagógicas que atendam às especificidades de aprendizagem de discentes em tal condição de deficiência, assim como em relação à formação continuada dos docentes numa perspectiva inclusiva e ao estreitamento das relações intersetoriais quanto ao acompanhamento educacional a tais estudantes.

Nonlinear Volumetric Deformation Behavior of Rock Salt Using the Concept of Mobilized Dilatancy Angle

Published: October 2016

Post-yield strength and deformation properties of rock salt are of great importance to the stability of rock surrounding deep underground storage caverns. Uniaxial and triaxial compression tests were performed to explore the volume change of Qianjiang rock salt under different confining stress states. The experimental results indicate that the dilatancy angle first increases rapidly then decreases gradually and drives to a constant with equivalent plastic strain. A higher confining stress results in a lower peak dilatancy angle. With the increase of confining pressure, the dilatancy angle decreases nonlinearly. Based on the volumetric-axial strain curves of rock salt, a mobilized dilatancy angle model taking into account the effects of confining pressure and the equivalent plastic strain was developed using nonlinear fitting. The new model was implemented in the software FLAC3D and verified effective to predict the volumetric dilatancy behavior of rock salt.
Parametric Analysis of a Passive Energy Management Through Increased Thermal Capacitance

This paper evaluates the influence of several parameters on the potential of using increased thermal capacitance (ITC) as a passive energy management technique to decrease a building’s cooling load. ITC is implemented by circulating water from a storage tank through a piping system located in the building’s ceiling. The cooling load of the ITC enhanced building is compared to the cooling load of a reference building without ITC. TRNSYS, a transient system simulation software, is used to simulate both the ITC enhanced building and the reference building. The following parameters that affect the performance of the ITC are analyzed: tank size, specific heat, mass flow rate, initial temperature of the working fluid, pipe material and wall thickness, and location of the piping system in the ceiling. These parameters are also modified to achieve the best results for each of the climate conditions investigated. The simulations demonstrate that ITC has the potential to reduce the overall cooling load in a range between 4% to 8%, depending on the location and the month of the year.

The oil cooling gallery is arranged at the top of the piston, which can effectively reduce the heat load of the piston. In this paper, finite element analysis and fatigue analysis by FE-safe are used to calculate the effects of the different positions of the oil cooling gallery to the temperature, stress field and the fatigue strength of the bowl rim, top land, first ring groove, second land and cooling gallery. The results show that, with the oil cooling gallery moving upward regularly, the temperature of the oil cooling gallery increased, and the temperature of other piston critical position decreased; but when the distance of the oil cooling gallery and combustion chamber decreased, the structural strength of the combustion chamber decreases gradually. In addition, too small distance between the oil cooling gallery and the top surface will make the temperature of the oil cooling gallery too high, which makes the oil coking in the oil cooling gallery, affecting the cooling effect seriously. For this type of piston, the optimal distance between the oil cooling gallery and the top surface is 12.5mm.
Energy Balance Analysis on a Preheating Catalytic Oxidation Device of Coal Mine Ventilation Air Methane

Published: October 2016

Energy balance analysis was carried out during the operation process of a preheating catalytic oxidation device of coal mine ventilation air methane. The effects of space velocity, inlet gas temperature and methane volume concentration on each energy balance term were studied. The experimental results show that: the exothermic oxidation power and the surface heat dissipation power loss rise with the increase of methane volume concentration and the oxidation bed inlet temperature, and yet fall when space velocity achieves a high enough value; the exhaust heat power loss is enhanced significantly with the growth of the inlet temperature and space velocity, but the change of methane volume concentration has very little influence on the exhaust heat loss power; the fraction of the exhaust heat loss descends significantly with the increase of methane volume concentration and inlet temperature, and yet rises obviously with the improvement of space velocity. The above results provide a theoretical guidance on the stable self-heating maintenance operation of the preheating catalytic oxidation device.

Este estudio indaga las percepciones de los habitantes de Monte Gordo, Veracruz sobre los servicios ambientales que proveen los humedales arbóreos. Se recolectaron opiniones de informantes clave de la comunidad mediante entrevistas semi-estructuradas. Los datos se analizaron y reforzaron con las percepciones obtenidas durante una prueba piloto y estos últimos se categorizaron de acuerdo con la población productiva (PP) y jóvenes estudiantes (PE). El análisis de percepciones incluyó las reflexiones de jóvenes y adultos (generacional). Se encontró que las percepciones sobre los servicios ambientales de los humedales (hábitat de vida silvestre y tratamientos naturales de agua) y uso de los humedales (áreas de basureros) variaron significativamente entre los grupos de PP y PE al igual que el análisis reflexivo de nivel generacional. Los informantes clave percibieron que los principales servicios ambientales que los humedales proveen son: productos alimenticios, materia prima para construcción y como atracción turística. La función de humedales como sitios de protección a inundaciones y costas no fue claramente percibida. La pérdida de humedales se percibió como una situación que ha incrementado a través del tiempo en la comunidad, sin embargo, las situaciones que lo han provocado y su importancia a nivel local varió entre los entrevistados con respecto a sus actividades. Los recursos alimenticios y otros servicios de los humedales les atañen de forma colectiva por lo que se requieren iniciativas locales de acción colectiva en donde se integre a los habitantes del pueblo, autoridades municipales y a dueños de terrenos de las zonas más altas a la comunidad cuyas actividades también repercuten en la situación actual de los humedales de Monte Gordo.

En la comunidad de Guadalupe Cuautepec, la deforestación, el sobrepastoreo y las prácticas agrícolas insostenibles, han provocado la erosión del suelo y en consecuencia el azolvamiento de la laguna ubicada en la localidad. Con el fin generar información básica para la creación de estrategias de protección de este cuerpo de agua, se elaboró un ordenamiento ecológico territorial a partir del diagnóstico de los recursos agua, suelo y vegetación, de la comunidad. Desde el punto de vista técnico se realizó una caracterización socioeconómica y biofísica; esta última incluyó aspectos sobre: geomorfología, hidrología, geología, edafología, vegetación, erosión, uso potencial del suelo, conflictos de uso e inestabilidad de suelos. Por otro lado, se llevó a cabo un diagnóstico rural participativo, en el que se identificaron los problemas más relevantes relacionados con los recursos naturales y las acciones que la comunidad realizará para el manejo sustentable de los mismos. Se establecieron objetivos de alta prioridad para lograr el manejo sustentable de los recursos naturales, entre los que están: realizar obras para la conservación de suelos, controlar el aprovechamiento forestal y reforestar zonas sin vegetación. Se estimó que 77.8% del territorio de Cuautepec, presenta alto y muy alto riesgo de erosión, con índices superiores a 50 t/ha/año. Se determinó que los terrenos más erosionados con necesidades de restauración abarcan 609.34 ha y que la superficie prioritaria a reforestar es de 439.52 ha.
