THE ROLE OF STATEGIC MANAGEMENT IN TRANSITION CONDITIONS
Authors: Cucoviċ Anita
Published: March 2020

One of the most significant socio-economic challenges at the beginning of the new millennium has been the transformation of post-socialist systems into systems that can meet the challenges of a predominantly capitalist world economy.Multinational companies become directly involved in this transition process when acquiring in one of the former socialist economies, especially when engaging in local businesses. They are confronted with a particular institutional environment that pre-determines strategic opportunities for the enterprise and limits the application of Western firms business practices and organizational concepts. Thus, the strategies observed in transition countries are different from those applied in successful and developed economies, and strategies that prove successful in one country may be a complete failure in another. Corporate strategies in transition countries and other emerging markets can only be explained by including a specific institutional context in the analysis. This creates challenges that are fundamentally different from the experience of managers of developed countries and firms with foreign business partners. a particular challenge is the acquisition and subsequent integration of state-owned enterprises.
Extensive Unfolded Protein Response Stimulation in Colon Cancer Cells Enhances VEGF Expression and Secretion
Authors: TUNÇER Sinem , SOLEL Ege , BANERJEE Sreeparna
Published: March 2020

Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is an important site
for protein folding and maturation. Accumulation of unfolded or misfolded
proteins in the ER leads to “ER stress”. The unfolded protein response (UPR) is
a finely regulated cell-signaling program to re-establish ER folding capacity
for building up cellular homeostasis. Although ER stress modulators have emerged
as promising treatment options with their potential to trigger ER
stress-mediated apoptosis in cancer cells, here we show that ER stress
upregulates VEGF (Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor) expression and secretion
in colon cancer cells, which may result in resistance against the treatment
through enhanced autocrine/intracrine VEGF signaling and through supporting
further angiogenesis.
Estimating population sizes and demographic trends in Ipswich c. 1570-1620: re-evaluations and new approaches
Authors: Shumaker Tiffany Haller
Published: March 2020

This article explores the characteristics and experiences of the population of the town of Ipswich, Suffolk, between 1570 and 1620. It reassesses current estimates of the total number of inhabitants in the town at specific points throughout this period. This provides a basic framework for the subsequent analysis of the parish registers, which enables a better understanding of the town's demographic trends in this period. In addition, it puts forward new methods to estimate population size. These methods combine data from the town's communicant returns, parish poor rates, poor relief payments, and similar sources in order to determine the social structure of the town, the relative wealth of the town's parishes, and the approximate population sizes of the town's main socio-economic groups.

Published: March 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é demostrar os benefícios que a arborização urbana pode trazer para a cidade de Porto Velho como o conforto térmico, a paisagem, a melhoria da qualidade do ar, a redução de poluição sonora, o conforto ambiental, a saúde física e mental da população além do contato com o ambiente. Entende-se que o crescimento dos centros urbanos não é acompanhado pelo planejamento ambiental das cidades. O fluxo econômico propicia os movimentos de migração que ocupam e desocupam os perímetros urbanos de forma descontrolada e, às vezes, deixando impactos que demoram a ser revertidos. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa documental através da Lei Complementar nº 590/2015 que institui o Plano Diretor de Arborização Urbana do Município de Porto Velho e a Revisão do Plano Diretor de 2018 e a pesquisa bibliográfica de autores de Educação Ambiental. Os projetos de arborização já foram implantados pela prefeitura da capital rondoniense deixando em alerta quanto as espécies escolhidas, pois algumas raízes como por exemplo a da espécie fícus, podem romper a tubulação de drenagem em busca de água, portanto o projeto prevê plantio de ipês, oitis, resendá, munguba e sibipiruna.

Koncepcja moralności publicznej Lorda Patricka Devlina a orzecznictwo Europejskiego Trybunału Praw Człowieka
Authors: Jesiołowski Kamil
Published: March 2020

The aim of this article is to present the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), in cases concerning public morality, in the context of one of the most important debates in 20th century legal philosophy: the dispute between Patrick Devlin and Herbert L.A. Hart. In order to achieve this aim, I first describe the key theses defended by these scholars and explain the historical circumstances in which the debate arose. Then I analyse the most salient judgements passed by the ECtHR, which defined rules of the acceptable limitation of individual rights guaranteed by the European Human Rights Convention due to the moral norms existing in a society. I conclude that the reasoning adopted by the ECtHR in these cases resembles Devlin’s propositions to some extent. Furthermore, I claim that a reference to inherent and inalienable human dignity might be considered a sound solution in some doubtful cases in which moral problems or rights restrictions appear. Finally, I show that legal moralism, as a vein in the philosophy of law, has its adherents in contemporary science, too. However, the views presented by new legal moralists fundamentally differ from those postulated by Patrick Devlin in his time.

Narracyjność języka prawniczego w procesie tworzenia prawa
Authors: Skuczyński Paweł
Published: March 2020

The paper concerns the relation between argumentative and narrative features of legal texts and the question whether legal texts can be perceived as narrative texts. A narrative text is understood as transferring a story to the recipient through a given medium. The story, being the content of a narrative text, constitutes a specific way of manifesting the plot. The latter is a sort of internal logic of the story. The very same plot might be told in many different ways. Hence, the narrative text does not depict events directly, but through a story that requires a storytelling agent – the narrator. Certainly, there are different kinds of narrators, who can be more or less exposed within the text. In consequence, there are at least five positions concerning the relation between argumentation and narration in law: 1) sceptic – narration is a negation of the reasonableness of law; 2) narration is a structure of presentation of facts; 3) narration is a means of rhetoric persuasion; 4) narration is a meta-argumentative structure; 5) narration is a subject of critical analysis as it reveals the identity of an author. The theory of narration is applied to a particular problem of participation of professional self-governments in law-making.
Czy sąd powinien być wyrozumiały dla prawodawcy? O błędzie legislacyjnym z perspektywy teorii wykładni
Authors: Suska Marek
Published: March 2020

In the actual legislative processes, errors are often made: the legislator’s intentions are not always properly expressed in the legal provisions or there is insufficient clarity. The discrepancy between what the legislator said and what they meant to say poses a serious challenge to the theory and practice of legal interpretation. In this paper, the author analyses two possible reactions to a legislative error: correcting it or applying the provision in its literal meaning. The considerations are based on two decisions of the Criminal Chamber of the Polish Supreme Court, because in criminal law the protection of the prima facie understanding of the text is a very important value. In the final part of the paper, the author indicates factors which can affect the court’s attitude towards a legislative error in a specific case.

THE ROLE OF SULTONKHUJA ADO IN THE LITERARY ENVIRONMENT OF KUKAND
Authors: Utkirbek Sobirjonovich Madumarov
Published: March 2020

The details of Sultankhuja Ado, a descendant of Khoja Ubaydullah Ahror, are insufficient in the studies of independence and early literary studies. There is no information about his life in the manuscripts of the poet kept in the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
We can briefly study the life and activity of the poet based on various sources dating from the 18th - 19th century.
In some of the manuscripts we have seen, such as “Samaria” by Abu Tahirhoja, “Tazkiraii Kayiyumi” by P. Kayumiy, “Buyuk ma'naviy murshid” by B.Valihojaev, “Zapiski o Bukharskom Hanstve” by P.Demezon and I.V.Vitkevich, we have read the references in the sources and in the articles of several researchers.
For example, literature scholar E. Shodiev notes that there are poems by the poet in "Bayozi Fakhri Rumoni".
Sheikh-ul-Islam, Khujakalon Sultanhoja Ado was born in Samarkand. But the year of birth is unknown. He received his first religious education from his father Khudoyorbek. He later continued his education at the Kukeldash madrasah in Bukhara. He was one of the leading students of the Madrasah. He was promoted to the rank of the Sheikh-ul-Islam of Samarkand because of his profound knowledge of religion and deep thoughts.
Application of spatial weather generator for the assessment of climate change impacts on a river runoff
Authors: Kuchar Leszek , Iwański Sławomir , Jelonek Leszek , Szalińska Wiwiana
Published: March 2020

In this study, the impacts of climate change on streamflow are investigated. The ensemble of outputs from three different Global Circulation Models models: GISS, CCCM, GFDL developed for the emission scenario A1B were analyzed to infer projected changes in climatological conditions for the region of the Upper and Middle Odra basin. Obtaining hydrological scenarios of future changes for the scale of subcatchment required simulating short-term and fine scaled weather patterns for this area. SWGEN model (Spatial Weather GENerator) was applied to downscale projected changes of climatological conditions to the ones required by hydrological model temporal and spatial resolution. Daily time series of solar radiation, temperature and precipitation were generated for the reference period 1981–2000 and for the time horizon 2030 and 2050. The generated data from SWGEN model were integrated in the hydrological model NAM to simulate streamflow under changed conditions with daily time step. The results show considerable changes in annual and seasonal runoff daily distributions for selected study catchment in the future time horizons of 2030 and 2050.
Does the onset of trends towards convergence within the differentiation of the global system confirm the general assumptions about the development of territorial and social hierarchies?
Authors: Hampl Martin
Published: March 2020

We are currently witnessing a significant turn in the evolution of the global system. The long term rise in the dominance of the “West” has been recently not only halted, but if fact reversed. Within the last two decades, close to a fifth of the world’s GDP has been transferred from the core to the semiperiphery, and increasingly also the periphery, of the global system. The hierarchic manner of the asymmetric geographic distribution of the world’s economy and population, and its transformation, remains a significant subject of scientific research and a key issue within the decision-making sphere of world politics. However, the discrepancy between the hierarchical differentiation of states and civilizations in terms of their size on one hand and their development (wealth) on the other remains an important issue. The degree of this discrepancy (or lack of) depends on the scale on which the differentiation is examined. At the macroregional level, it remains very pronounced, while it decreases in significance on the mezoregional and microregional levels – within the developed countries, a relative correspondence exists between both types of hierarchy. This article therefore intends to delineate the basic types of hierarchical differentiation to discuss the causal mechanisms of their formation and prospective change.

Thirty-six (58.1%) males and 26 (41.9%) females were studied. Their mean age and standard deviation were 40.6 years and 11.9 years respectively. The mean length of hospital stays between the pharmacological and surgical decompression groups were 8.05 days and 13.8 days respectively. The incidence of airway compromise in the surgical decompression group was 19.9% lower than that of the pharmacological decompression group (P=0.47), which was not significant. The type of decompression approach also failed to influence the incidence of airway compromise (P = 0.41).

Conclusion: The use of surgical versus pharmacological decompression does not significantly alter the incidence of airway compromise in the management of LA. The Patients that had surgical decompression had a shorter stay in the hospital as compared to those who had pharmacological decompression. This was not statistically significant.

Bergenin is a C-glucoside derivative of gallic acid but its antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects have not previously been compared with gallic acid. Male ICR mice were administered bergenin (10, 50, and 250 mg/kg/day) or gallic acid (100 mg/kg/day) for 7 consecutive days before a single administration of ethanol (5 g/kg). Liver sections were histopathologically examined. Aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, reactive oxygen species, and malondialdehyde levels were determined in plasma. Total glutathione, reduced glutathione, and oxidized glutathione levels were determined in liver homogenates. Ethanol induced hepatic injury with prominent histopathological markers including nuclear pyknosis and necrotic areas and this accorded with increases in the plasma levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, reactive oxygen species, and malondialdehyde. Moreover, ethanol disturbed hepatic glutathione homeostasis by reducing glutathione stores. Hepatic injury in the ethanol-induced mice was prevented with bergenin and gallic acid by significant decreases in plasma aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, reactive oxygen species, and malondialdehyde levels and restoration of the hepatic glutathione profile through an increase in the reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio. Bergenin at 10 mg/kg/day showed comparable hepatoprotective activity to gallic acid in an ethanol-induced mouse model of oxidative stress. Therefore, bergenin might be a promising candidate for further development as a novel hepatoprotective product.

There are analysis methods of biomedical signalfeatures at present to know any information regarding the humanbody. It is to use the extracted features from the EMG signalto predict human motion and its associated efforts by usingsignals given by the motor unit action. Steps to process theEMG signal are envelope acquiring, artifacts filtering, estimationsmoothing, EMG value standardizing, feature classifying, andmotion recognizing. Different methods are useful to achieve thisgoal and apply by experimental projects. Using a database ofEMG signals, we calculate the envelope by using the rectifiedsignal, where we take the absolute number of EMG signals so thatall values become positive. In the first step, we shall now proceedto remove EMG envelope artifacts by using filters such as theKalman filter (KF), H1 filter, unbiased finite impulse response (UFIR), cKF, cH1, and cUFIR. The last three algorithms wereamended by assuming colored measurement noise. Last, we makea standardization of the EMG envelope. Given the above, we willknow if the estimation envelope gives the optimal features for anaccurate prediction.

Published: March 2020

-In industrial plants, the profitability of the plant is significantly affected by the quality of machines maintenance. To ensure continuous production, the high valued machines should be kept in good working conditions. This brings plants to search for means to control and reduce equipment failures. When faults emerge in plants, appropriate actions for fault diagnosis and troubleshooting must be executed promptly and effectively to prevent large costs due to breakdowns. To provide reliable and effective maintenance support, the aid of advanced decision support technology utilizing previous repair experience is of crucial importance for the expert operators as it provides them valuable troubleshooting clues for new faults. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology, particularly, knowledge-based approach is promising for this domain. It captures efficiency of problem solving expertise from the domain experts; guides the expert operators in rapid fault detection and troubleshooting. This paper focuses on the design and development of a Knowledge-Intensive Decision Support System (KI-DSS) for Maintenance, Repair and Service in industrial plants to support better maintenance decision and improve maintenance efficiency. With integration of case-based Reasoning and ontology, the Ki- DSS not only carries out data matching retrieval, but also performs semantic associated data access which is important for intelligent knowledge retrieval in decision support system. A case is executed to illustrate the use of the proposed KI-DSS to show the feasibility of our approach and the benefit of the ontology support.

Published: March 2020

Lake Turkana, the world’s largest desert lake, is the second largest producer of freshwater fishery in Kenya. The lake is co-managed by stakeholders’ groups called Beach Management Units (BMUs) in a co-management arrangement with the government. Despite the enactment of co-management policy, management related challenges including illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, overexploitation and resource use conflicts still bedevil the lake leading to plummeting fisheries production. This study identified gaps in stakeholders’ inclusion and mobilization methods used by BMUs.  Data was collected using questionnaires from 693 respondents in eight beaches. Chi-square was used to test for statistical associations between variables (p?0.05). Results showed that 13 stakeholders grouped into county government (24%), national government (35%) and donors (42%) were included in the lake’s fisheries management. Although stakeholders’ level of inclusion was not statistically significant (x2=4.8911, df=2, p=0.08668), they were associated with certain activities (x2=202.72, df=8, p<0.001). Donors were engaged in training (84%) and provision of equipment (62%), national government mainly provided security (60%) while County government was associated with marketing infrastructure (56%). BMUs enhanced stakeholder’s inclusion by accepting their opinions (54%), invitation to BMU meetings (26%) and allocation of roles (20%). Information was disseminated through BMU secretaries (41%), announcement in public forums (35%) and phone calls/messages (24%).  Although most stakeholders were included in fisheries management, key institutional stakeholders such as National Environment Management Authority, Kenya Maritime Authority and Kenya Ports Authority were missing indicating absence of multiple stakeholders who would provide support in specific areas of co-management. Besides, current mobilization methods were inadequate since they excluded traditional leaders, publicity materials, periodic newsletters and electronic/social media platforms. This study points out critical gaps in stakeholders’ inclusion and mobilization. The gaps should be filled by careful review of fisheries co-management policy at County level to allow for effective fisheries management.

Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. is a fruit tree crop largely grown in tropical regions for its edible fruits. Though listed among underutilized crops, the demand for jackfruit in Uganda has increased. Amidst the increase in demand, the crop faces strong selective pressure and yet there is no documentation of the varieties and distribution of the crop in the country. This study therefore aimed at determining the varieties and distribution of jackfruit in Uganda using folk knowledge to provide a baseline for its production, booming market and conservation. A cross-sectional survey involving 349 participants comprising of 205 jackfruit traders and 144 jackfruit farmers from three political regions and three agro-ecological zones was conducted. Data were collected through face to face interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire and direct observations. Classification of jackfruit varieties, geographical location of the source of jackfruits for traders and the time of harvest of the fruit by the farmers were investigated. Occurrence of varieties per household was determined through on-farm visits. Data analysis techniques involved descriptive, chi-square and Cramer’s V measure of association analyses. Traders mainly obtained jackfruit from Central (46.0%)  and Eastern (37.6%) political regions, Lake Victoria Crescent and Mbale Farmlands (41.1%) and Southern and Eastern Lake Kyoga Basin (30.0%) agro-ecological zones. Jackfruit varieties were classified basing on fruit texture and pulp colour, revealing four ethno-varieties, soft (Serebera), firm yellow (Kanaanansi), firm red (Namusaayi) and firm white (Namata). Namata and Serebera registered the lowest occurrences political regions and agro-ecological zones. Farmers harvested jackfruit throughout the year with a peak season in December and January. Folk knowledge provided baseline information for jackfruit variety categorization. Selection pressure exerted on Serebera and Namata demands for germplasm conservation. Since jackfruit thrives in a wide range of climatic conditions, its cultivation should be encouraged to ensure food security and sustain the increasing demand.

In this study, the chemical and morphological diversity among eleven wild populations of Hypericum aviculariifolium Jaub. et Spach subsp. depilatum (Freyn et Bornm.) N. Robson var. depilatum, an endemic Turkish species was studied. These populations were investigated for their contents of hypericin, pseudohypericin, hyperforin, the chlorogenic, neochlorogenic, caffeic and 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acids, hyperoside, quercitrin, isoquercitrin, avicularin, 13,118 biapigenin, (+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin as well as for their morphological traits, including density of leaf light and dark glands, leaf area, leaf length/width ratio and plant height. The top two-thirds of the plants representing thirty individuals was harvested at full flowering from eleven sites and analyzed for the content of bioactive compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography after being dried at room temperature. Morphological characterization of the wild populations was performed on twenty randomly selected individuals from each plant-growing locality. The content of the tested compounds, except for caffeic acid and avicularin, and some morphological traits, namely, the density of leaf translucent glands and black nodules and leaf area varied significantly with the investigated populations. It was observed that hypericin and pseudohypericin contents were connected positively with leaf black nodule density, but negatively with leaf area and the contents of hyperforin, quercitrin and 13,118-biapigenin were correlated positively with leaf translucent gland density. Data presented here could be useful in determining future targets for further wide-ranging studies on this endemic species as well as in identifying superior germplasm in terms of high chemical content.
