A major upgrade to the NIRSPEC instrument at the Keck II telescope was successfully completed in time for near-infrared spectroscopic observations of comet 46P/Wirtanen during its exceptionally close flyby of Earth in 2018 December. These studies determined the abundances of several volatiles, including C2H2, C2H6, CH3OH, NH3, HCN, H2CO, and H2O. Long-slit spatial distributions of gas rotational temperature and column density are diagnostic for the presence of icy grains in the coma and understanding if different volatiles are associated with common or distinct outgassing sources. These spatial distributions suggest that C2H2, C2H6, and HCN have a common outgassing source, whereas H2O and CH3OH have additional, more extended sources. The synergy of these findings with observations by space missions (Rosetta and EPOXI) motivates continuing studies to address whether or not C2H6, C2H2, and HCN have a common source of release (plausibly associated with CO2) in a larger sample of comets and whether systematic differences exist in the release of these species compared to H2O and CH3OH. Abundances of volatiles are reported relative to H2O, as traditionally done, as well as C2H6. While not unique, the choice of C2H6 demonstrates the value of extending the chemical taxonomy of parent volatiles in comets toward additional compositional “baselines” and, importantly, closer integration between coma abundances and the underlying volatile associations as revealed by spatial distributions. Our findings on composition and sources of outgassing include information relevant to future evaluations of 46P/Wirtanen as a prospective spacecraft target.
Electrohydrodynamic assembly of colloidal particles on a drop interface
Authors: Hu Yi , Vlahovska Petia M. , Miksis Michael J.
Published: March 2021

A mathematical model to simulate the dynamics of colloidal particles on a drop interface in an applied electric field is presented. The model accounts for the electric field driven flow within the drop and suspending fluid, particle-particle electrostatic interaction, and the particle motion and rotation due to the induced flow and the applied electric field. The model predicts the formation of chains in the case of conducting particles or an undulating band around the equator in the case of dielectric particles. The model results are in agreement with recent experimental work. A study is presented on the impact of particle concentration and electric field strength on the collective motions of the particles. In the case of non-conducting particles, we find that in the presence of Quincke rotation, the amplitude of the undulations of the observed equatorial particle belt increases with particle concentration but decreases with electric field strength. We also show that the wavelength of the undulations appears independent of the applied field strength.
Internal rapid stabilization of a 1-D linear transport equation with a scalar feedback
Authors: Zhang Christophe
Published: March 2021

We use a variant the backstepping method to study the stabilization of a 1-D linear transport equation on the interval \begin{document}$ (0,L) $\end{document}, by controlling the scalar amplitude of a piecewise regular function of the space variable in the source term. We prove that if the system is controllable in a periodic Sobolev space of order greater than \begin{document}$ 1 $\end{document}, then the system can be stabilized exponentially in that space and, for any given decay rate, we give an explicit feedback law that achieves that decay rate. The variant of the backstepping method used here relies mainly on the spectral properties of the linear transport equation, and leads to some original technical developments that differ substantially from previous applications.

The Role of Business Schools in Marketing Education
Authors: Morgado Andre Vilares
Published: March 2021

Business schools play a key role in training marketing professionals. However, there is a strong divide between the expectations held by marketing professionals and those held in academia. This article considers this phenomenon from a theoretical point of view and explores its causes. The author argues that business schools are able to play a key role in bridging theory and practice in marketing. The article closes by offering several suggestions for how business schools might increase the relevance of marketing research while reducing the gap between marketing theory and practice. In particular, the article suggests the adoption of an inductive approach to research and offers a set of policies that business schools can implement in order to close this gap.

Published: March 2021

Pathways of socio-economic development are still exploratory, and, despite an increase in socio-economic development research, many challenges remain in designing an inclusive model of socio-economic development through skill training. This chapter addresses the issues related to skill training and, consequently, the impact of training on social and economic changes by combining the theories of socio-economic development. A lot of attention has been paid to the economic and ecological aspects of sustainable development, especially at the national level, but little has been given to the analysis of the implications of sustainable skill training on the quality of life and on socio-economical aspects of communities that are directly affected by the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) industry, particularly in developing countries. This chapter looks at issues surrounding sustainable skill training as a tool for socio-economic development in developing countries, using existing models and theories on development and training.

A New Perspective in Competitiveness for Business Education
Authors: Martins Ana , Martins Isabel , Pereira Orlando Petiz
Published: March 2021

Organizations are currently living through profound changes while dealing with the prevailing rate of information change and innovation. Alternative ways of educating organizations highlight the strategic importance of humanization in organizations. Humanization is the stabilizer of productivity and communities of practice (CoPs) – the tools which enable employees to act in this space. Organizations that nurture CoPs embrace learning, are sensitive, tolerant, and cooperate. CoPs are nurtured by cooperation while disregarding both competition and egotism. Strategic variables emerge in this context which leads to the paradigm shift focusing on trust, voluntary sharing, employees' selflessness, and shared leadership. Knowledge in an organization and within each employee is viewed as complementary and not a substitute or as an issue of contention. Knowledge sharing is a necessary condition to improve both organizational performance and its attractiveness. The importance of CoPs in this chapter focuses on the humanization perspective as CoPs promote learning in business contexts.
Business Within Ethical Marketing Education
Authors: Nunes Carmina S. , Estima Ana , Manso Judite
Published: March 2021

The purpose of this chapter is to offer a new perspective on how business ethics, and more specifically ethical marketing, can be integrated into ethical education and the teaching of good practices, providing answers for different organizational ethical questions. The authors argue that ethical marketing currently plays a pivotal role in organizations, making it necessary to properly address issues from a moral point of view. Referring to elements related to the marketing area, such as the market itself, costumers, products, promotion, price, place, etc., the authors demonstrate that ethics and its purpose can add value to any organization. The sphere of ethical marketing has had extraordinary visibility, especially throughout the last decades, probably because of how they relate to the four marketing-mix P's. The authors argue that it is crucial to have a solid understanding of the significance of these principles.
Future of Business Education and Admission Challenges
Authors: Das Manoj
Published: March 2021

With the mushrooming of business schools across India producing graduates that are being labeled as unemployable by industry, a serious problem is facing the business schools in India. Is it the right time to rethink how business education is being imparted? Are we actually preparing the students for the future? Do we need to relook at the way we are interacting with the industry? Is there a need for closer tie-ups? The author feels that we need to consider answering these questions if business education is to be improved. Many interesting trends such as MOOCs (massive online open classes), technology-mediated learning, experiential education (internships and field-based projects), incubator and laboratory learning (including virtual reality), and gamification need to be explored. With reference to challenges in regard to admission, only a strong differentiation in terms of content, industry tie-ups, center of excellence in collaboration with industry for knowledge creation would help.

Business leaders, accrediting bodies, and management educators alike are calling for a radical change in the delivery of management education because of globalization, unprecedented economic uncertainty, changing demographics, and new learning technologies. The traditional one-size-fits-all educational approach of the past is being replaced with a customized and flexible learning paradigm that focuses on student outcomes and performance. Collaboration networks can assist in this transformation. The primary function of a collaboration network is to provide the management education community with access to curriculum innovation, cloud-based resources, intelligent tutors, and implementation strategies. The purpose of this chapter is to outline the role of cloud-based collaboration networks in helping shape the future of management education.

Published: March 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic suddenly claimed its existence with thousands of fatalities reported worldwide in just a few months. It has caused great concern and panic resulting to total halt in all activities, particularly the economic sector. The lockdown has caused global economic contraction which has led to forecasted economic recession for the year 2020. Islamic social financing sees this phenomenon as an increase in the numbers of the needy and something has to be done. In Islamic social financing, certain instruments have been identified as tools to mitigate the turmoil facing people who are badly affected by the pandemic. Zakat, sadaqah, qard al-hasan, and infaq can play significant roles especially in providing financial aids to the needy. Zakat in particular has the potential to ease the financial situations for its huge collection recorded. This study employed the document analysis approach to examine the possible role zakat can play during and after the turbulence caused by the pandemic. The findings from the analyses revealed that Islamic social financing via its instruments like zakat, sadaqah, infaq, and qard al-hasan are able to offer and provide financial assistance during and post crisis, in this case the COVID-19 pandemic in various sectors like the education, social, and humanitarian, as well as in the medical sector. The responsible party should continue to provide efficient and hassle free channel for zakat payers to continue paying zakat as it does help in providing sufficient funds and also eradicate poverty in a community that may be caused by any crises alike. The effective and efficient distribution programs are also equally important in ensuring the objective of zakat is achieved in helping the needy.

Published: March 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented humanitarian challenge which requires innovative solutions. One apparent challenge among governments is to come up with appropriate funds to finance economic stimulus packages. Such stimulus packages are necessary for the protection and wellbeing of the people and to ensure that the economic operations remain intact. By looking into Islamic economics, various solutions can be explored as offered through Islamic social finance instruments such as zakat, waqf, and sadaqah, as well as its innovative solutions specifically available from the capital market sectors. This chapter explores the potential development of an impact-waqf SRI sukuk for funding economic stimulus packages, with special focus to Malaysia. This chapter proposes a solution in achieving such purpose by referring to the Impact-Waqf SRI sukuk, either based on temporary or permanent cash waqf structure. Returns of investments to investors ultimately depend on the social impact and key performance indexes (KPIs) as achieved from the economic stimulus packages. It is found that the impact-waqf SRI sukuk can be issued either by the government or government-linked company (GLC) and economic stimulus packages can be offered to institutional as well as retail sectors. An option can be given to the investors to waive-off their claims on the capital and returns. Consequently, the government can offer tax rebates or coupons which are equivalent to the value of the waived-off investment.
The Potential Development of Waqf in India Post-COVID-19
Authors: Jasir Mohtesham Mohammed Meeran , Marwan Syed , Hai Abdul
Published: March 2021

Waqf is an outstanding socio-economic tool of Islam which has played a great role in the history of Islam. India owns a substantial amount of waqf properties in terms of lands, buildings, and other assets. However, the chapter argues that waqf has failed to achieve the expectations of Indian Muslim society due to widespread issues in the management and administration of waqf in the country. Waqf requires huge statutory and administrative reforms in India. Many studies have been conducted about the waqf properties and the issues in its administration in India. However, none of them has examined it in terms of SWOT-TOWS analysis. In this study, the SWOT analysis is conducted to uncover the internal strengths, weaknesses, as well as external opportunities and threats of the waqf in India. The TOWS analysis is carried out to crossmatch between strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Along with that, the study also put a glance at the potential of Indian waqf institutions in dealing with the economic problems of the country post-COVID-19. The study develops strategies that can help the Indian waqf to achieve its potential development and implies that waqf has sufficient strengths and opportunities in India to deliver its desired objectives and help the Indian economy to revive post-COVID-19.

Authors: Saifurrahman Adi , Kassim Salina
Published: March 2021

Financial inclusion has become an important policy for many countries, including the developed and developing nations. Financial inclusion realisation is promoted by the easy and convenient access to financial services, quality of financial services, and efficient and effective utilisation by all segment of society, delivered with fairness and zero discrimination. The achievement of financial inclusion is supported by essential pillars that are interconnected with each other and form a composite economy ecosystem to ensure stability and sustainable development. One of these critical pillars is micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs); the development of MSMEs pillar is deemed crucial due to its capability in absorbing more considerable workforce compared to larger enterprises and contributes significantly to the gross domestic product (GDP). Therefore, the growth of MSMEs pillar will surely reduce poverty, lessen the unemployment, and lower the income disparity. In this respect, since Islamic banking represents the core of the Islamic financial system that encourages entrepreneurship, the institution is expected to take the lead in serving the needs of MSMEs sector and assisting them from all types of financial constraints. The primary objective of this chapter is to explore and investigate the critical issues and challenges of MSMEs financial inclusion achievement through the role of Islamic banking institutions, particularly in Indonesia. The chapter suggests several problems that hamper the role of the Indonesian Islamic banking institution in serving the needs of MSMEs and numerous issues and challenges in achieving MSMEs financial inclusion.

Published: March 2021

Mobile-based learning provides new experience to the learners to learn anything from anywhere and anytime by using their portable or mobile device. Vast educational contents and also different media formats can be supported by the mobile devices. Access speed of those materials has also improved a lot. With this advancement, providing required content or materials in the desired format to the learner is essential to the learning management system. Also, it is very important to guide the learner based on their interest in learning. With this outset, the proposed mobile learning system helps the learners to access different courses under different levels and different specializations. The course contents are in different formats called learning objects (LO). In order to provide personalized learning experience to the learner, the system finds the learner's preferences and selects the desired learning objects. It also recommends some specializations with level to the learners to achieve higher grades.

Published: March 2021

Numerous studies show positive cognitive and affective results regarding the adoption of mobile learning; however, adoption levels are low, and when mobile learning occurs, it is not always based on innovative pedagogies. The main objective of this study is to identify and analyse key design principles to develop a model for the adoption of mobile learning in education. This research is based on a systematic review of 20 publications. The findings reveal that most of the current studies focus on the adoption of mobile learning and the design and development of systems and applications. Additionally, these are mostly aimed at educators and instructional designers. Finally, the main dimensions that support the theoretical frameworks are the collaborative, social and communicative, contextual and spatial, pedagogical, technological, and strategic dimensions. Based on these findings, this study presents seven design principles for the adoption of mobile learning.

Published: March 2021

People suspected of having COVID-19 need to know quickly if they are infected, so that they can isolate themselves, receive treatment, and inform those with whom they have been in close contact. Currently, the formal diagnosis of COVID-19 infection requires laboratory analysis of blood samples or swabs from the throat and nose. The lab test requires specialized equipment and takes at least 24 hours to produce a result. For this reason, in this paper, the authors tackle the problem of the detection of COVID-19 by developing an open source software to analyze chest x-ray thorax images. The method is based on supervised learning applied to 5000 images. However, deep learning techniques such as convolutional neural network (CNN) and mask R-CNN gives good results comparing with classic medical imaging. Using a dynamic learning rate, they obtained 0.96 accuracy for the training phase and 0.82 for the test. The results of our free tool are comparable to the best state of the art open source systems.
A PERSPECTIVA DA GESTÃO DA QUALIDADE TOTAL (GQT) COMO MODO DE CONTROLE ORGANIZACIONAL
Authors: Fell André Felipe de Albuquerque
Published: March 2021

Os estudos organizacionais tem concentrado esforços também na análise do processo de trabalho, buscando verificar de que modos os programas de qualidade impactam no controle organizacional, na divisão do trabalho e na gestão de recursos humanos. Um tema significativo à teoria das organizações e que está relacionado à Gestão da Qualidade Total (GQT) é o controle, caminho trilhado nesse ensaio no sentido de considerar esse sistema de gestão (a GQT) como uma importante influência sobre o sistema de controle organizacional. O objetivo desse ensaio é analisar como a GQT, enquanto modelo de gestão, promete em seu discurso, entre outras coisas, a substituição do controle coercitivo dos trabalhadores, por formas de relações de trabalho (aparentemente) mais democráticas, através da gestão participativa, na qual a autonomia e maior influência no trabalho estão presentes para todos. Através da análise crítica dos seus princípios de gestão da qualidade foi possível notar que sob a égide da total adesão do empregado à causa organizacional, a GQT dinamiza a relação capital-trabalho pelo controle difuso, conhecido como controle das premissas cognitivas (PERROW, 1986), ou seja, um controle baseado na visão de mundo comum ou relacionado  à persuasão e ao consenso.

Comparison between gymnasts and non-gymnasts in isometric strength of the lower limbs
Authors: Šarabon Nejc , Čeklić Urška
Published: March 2021

Muscle asymmetries in gymnasts are common and can lead to injury. We aimed to determine differences in hip, knee, and ankle strength between female gymnasts and non-gymnasts, and secondly, to determine the effect of strength training intervention. Fifteen gymnasts (aged 11.19 ± 1.89 years) and 15 non-gymnasts (aged 10.92 ± 1.96 years) performed unilateral isometric maximal voluntary contractions of the hip (extensor, flexor, abductor, adductor, internal and external rotator), knee and ankle flexors and extensors on a dynamometer. Inter-limb asymmetries (ILAs) were compared across strength outcomes (MVC torque) and groups. ILAs was calculated based on the strength measurements. The gymnasts were retested after 8 weeks, during which the participants performed 5 weeks of regular training and 3 weeks of targeted strength training intervention. We found significant differences between groups in most observed hip strength parameters, but not in knee and ankle strength. The intervention did not significantly affect any parameter of ILAs. Gymnasts and non-gymnasts differ in hip strength parameters. A longer intervention program may decrease ILA parameters.
The challenging management of a giant intrathoracic desmoid tumour: a case report

Published: March 2021

Desmoid tumours are rare, locally aggressive neoplasms exhibiting high tendency for recurrence, even after complete resection. Only 1 in 5 of them originates from the chest wall, usually measuring less than 10 cm at diagnosis. Herein, we report the case of a woman presenting with symptoms of gradual lung compression by a giant desmoid tumour occupying the entire hemithorax. She underwent complete surgical resection of the tumour and chest wall reconstruction. She had disease recurrence 15 months later and currently remains under regular follow-up. The management of intrathoracic desmoid tumours is challenging because they are usually not diagnosed until they become large enough to cause compression symptoms. While medical management is the primary modality of treatment, surgery could be considered in selected cases where significant symptoms arise, and the functional status is impaired secondary to the tumour. Adjuvant radiotherapy to minimise the risk of local recurrence should also be considered.

The purpose of this research is to contribute to the border area in order to improve the economy, as one of the pillars of national security. This research was conducted in Bengkayang which is one of the regency areas in West Kalimantan. It is directly adjacent to Sarawak, Malaysia. The method used in this study is a qualitative method by carrying out focus group discussions. The material used is about financial literacy and financial behavior as one of the efforts that can be done to improve the economic resilience of a region. The target of this study is housewives, because housewives are important figures in managing family finances. The added value highlighted in this study is the existence of aspects of spirituality that are adapted to the beliefs held by the group studied and synergized in the provision of material, namely the value of amare culture. The results of this study were found to be a phenomenon that although in border areas, the community had received financial literacy education, however it did not get a good response, a lack of implementation of financial literacy had an impact on negative financial behavior patterns, when knowing that financial literacy can be used as a means of manifesting the faith adopted by enthusiastic housewives and giving a positive response.

Education  (X1) shows the results of the analysis of poverty (Y) in Bengkayang Regency. Not significant when viewed from the results of the t test partially can be obtained to count to the value of the Education Sector, -1.449> 1.796 so that education has a positive and not significant effect on poverty, which is supported by a significant level of 0.385 <0.050. This shows that the Education Sector variable has no significant effect on Poverty (Y). Health (X2) has a negative and significant effect on Poverty, which is supported by the Probability Value (sig) of 0.437 <0.050. This means that in terms of health, the government in this case has made every possible effort  for budget expenditures , but in fact in the field there are still many underprivileged people who have not been able to enjoy maximum hospital services. The results of the analysis of the direct effect of Unemployment (X3) on Poverty in Bengkayang Regency showed insignificant influence. The results of the analysis show that this path has a significant effect because the value of t count is 1,217, while the table is 1,796 (t count 1,217> t table 1,796), thus in this direct relationship pattern, unemployment has a positive effect not significant to poverty, which is supported by Probability Value (sig) 0.371> 0.050. The results of the analysis of direct influence of Infrastructure (X4) on poverty levels in Bengkayang Regency show that the path coefficient between Infrastructure and poverty is 0.804> 0.050, which means that the pathway has a negative and insignificant effect. The method used to analyze this research is linear regression with the least squares method usually known as OLS (Ordinary Least Square), which is a method used to determine the effect of an independent variable on the dependent variable.
