Relationship Between Millennials and Brand Loyalty: Mediating Brand Loyalty Factors
Authors: Gehan Dhameeth, S. , Yamamoto Ochi,
Published: August 2017

The purpose of this study is to identify factors (brand elements) that mediate between Millennials and brand loyalty, and to test a theoretical model that includes these mediating factors in describing the relationship between millennials and brand loyalty. The study focused on the key factors that we identified and hypothesized to mediate the relationship between millennials and brand loyalty. The quantitative study surveyed two hundred and fifty-three (n=253) respondents randomly drawn. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to test a model of the relationship between the mediating factors, millennials and brand loyalty. All model fit parameters were well within acceptable bounds. The Comparative Fit Index (CFI) was 0.999, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) was 0.018, and Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR) was 0.022. However, we believe that the model is over-fitting the data, and this is not surprising given that there are 22 variables and 253 data points. These results show promise, but require further investigation in a second phase of the inquiry. This study limited itself to surveying millennials, brand loyalty, and the seven mediating factors we identified and hypothesized to play a role in mediating between them. Based on this study, brand management strategies are proposed.
How to Invest in Stocks of Family Business Groups? Case Study of WALSIN Group in Taiwan
Authors: Lan Yu-Wei , Lin Dan , Lin Lu
Published: August 2017

The impact of family business groups on the industry has drawn different views. A major challenge for investors is to understand the business model of enterprises and enhance the trading performance in the financial market. Using the data of WALSIN family group, this article adopts generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity model (EGARCH) to investigate the volatility of stock prices of WALSIN family group.

The overall evidence suggests that the relationship between the leverage effect after including the leading company variable and the absence of the leading company appears to be significant at the 1% level. Therefore, the leverage effect after including the leading company has a certain effect on the financial operation of the family business group. In other words, it is helpful to include the leverage effect of the leading company in the portfolio, which can stabilize the trading performance of the WALSIN family group.

Furthermore, this study adopts Granger causality and program trading to test the strategy of following the leader of WALSIN family group. The net trading profit during this period is 71.03%. The results show that the technical analysis tested in this study can lead to trading profits and investors can increase their trading profits by following the leader in the family owned business.

Authors: Szabo Stanislav , Tobisová Alica , Rozenberg Róbert , Vajdová Iveta
Published: August 2017

Aircraft accidents are currently a relatively common phenomenon. They are the most distressed situations in civil aviation, critical not only for the general public, but also for air transport operators and airports. Every crisis situation has different impacts on the airport, whether material or financially. The aim of this contribution is to analyze the course and impact of selected crisis situations, including unlawful interference, deterioration of passenger’s health on an aircraft board and crowd psychosis, and then quantify the minimum amount of financial costs that arise in these crises. The calculation of these costs is particularly important for airports and their effective preparation for the possible occurrence of individual crisis situations. This raises the question of whether airports are prepared for the possible occurrence of crisis situations and whether they create at least a minimum financial margin to eliminate the impact of each crisis situation.

Authors: Ghouchanian Kamal , Ghassaban Kiarash , Jokar Mojtaba
Published: August 2017

Manufacturing speed is one of the most important factors in pharmaceutical production, since the drug excipient is sensitive and its exposure to light and temperature should be controlled. Therefore, by minimizing the manufacturing cycle time, the quality of product can be improved. This process also results in minimizing the cost of manufacturing such as working hours, human resource, energy consumption and overhead cost while increasing the system productivity. In this study, using a stochastic dynamic programming method, the stochastic manufacturing cycle time of pharmaceutical product in a plant with process layout and concurrent machines is minimized. The result of this study has been compared to simulation modeling of the process.
Teaching Independent Transitioning to Young Children with Autism Using Video Self-Modeling with Video Feedback via iPads
Authors: Kabashi Lema , Epstein Ann M.
Published: August 2017

This study investigated the efficacy of Video Self-Modeling (VSM) with video feedback using iPads to improve independent transitioning of two young children, a first grader and a preschooler, with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) across play activities and school routines. It was hypothesized that participants would transition independently through play activities and daily routines after watching their exemplary behaviors on an iPad. Teachers and teacher assistants delivered the intervention in inclusive classrooms. An A-B-A-B research design was used with the first grader whereas an A-B-A design was implemented with the preschooler. Findings show that both participants improved targeted behaviors. Independent transitioning skills were also maintained for both participants one month after the intervention was withdrawn. Social validity results show that parents of participants and their teachers favored and recommended the video self-modeling with video feedback intervention for other children with autism.

El presente trabajo examina la producción de la literatura académica en castellano sobre estudios organizacionales y de administración (EOA) en la última década, a partir de la elaboración de una base de datos de artículos publicados en revistas académicas de la base Latindex Catálogo. Los resultados indican que España se destaca del resto de los países no sólo por su cantidadde producción, sino por el nivel académico de la misma, evaluado mediante la densidad de citas. Este país también exhibe la mayor proporción de artículos de tipo empírico cuantitativo, que asociamos al modelo estadounidense de investigación en la disciplina. En los países  atinoamericanos, se destacan Colombia y México por la cantidad de producción, mientras queen términos de la densidad de citas, países como Argentina, México, Venezuela y Costa Rica no presentan diferencias estadísticamente significativas.This paper examines the production of the Spanishlanguage literature in the field of management and organizational studies (MOS) in the last decade. To this end, we have constructed a dataset of articles published in scholarly journals listed in the Latindex Catalog database. The results show that Spain stands out from the rest of the countries not only in terms of output quantity, but also in citation density indicating a more advanced degree of scholarly content. In addition to this, Spain commands the largest share of empirical quantitative articles, an approach often associated with the model favored by researchers in this field in the United States. Within Latin American countries, Colombia and Mexico stand out for their productionquantity, while Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela and Costa Rica do not exhibit statistically significantdifferences in citation density.
La evaluación de infraestructuras y edificios de biblioteca: Faulkner-Brown frente al cuestionario de la IFLA
Authors: Gallo León José Pablo
Published: August 2017

Se realiza una aproximación a la evaluación de edificios e infraestructuras de bibliotecas, centrándose especialmente en las académicas. A pesar del coste e importancia que para las bibliotecas tienen sus espacios, este tipo de evaluación ha sido descuidado hasta los últimosaños. Aun ahora se encuentran pocos ejemplos de herramientas para efectuar estas evaluaciones. Por ello, se realiza una comparación entre dos modelos utilizablescon este fin: un cuestionario de evaluación aplicable de forma universal y derivado del uso de los decálogos de Faulkner-Brown y McDonald; y el Questionnaire on Post-Occupancy Evaluation of Library buildings de la IFLA, debidamente adaptada. La evaluación se realiza sobre una biblioteca universitaria real, para valorar su idoneidad y posibilidades de aplicación práctica.This paper examines the evaluation of library buildings, particularly the evaluation of academic libraries, by scrutinizing several approaches employed in recent years. Despite the importance and cost of the space for the libraries, evaluation of library buildings has been neglected until recently. Even now, there are few effective instruments for performing such assessments.Therefore, this paper provides a comparison of two models used for this purpose. We compare an assessment questionnaire based on the Faulkner-Brown and McDonald “commandments” to an adapted version of the Questionnaire on Post-Occupancy Evaluation of Library Buildings developed by IFLA. The evaluations are performed on a real university library in order toassess the suitability of these instruments and the scope of their practical application.

Published: August 2017

La cienciometría es un área disciplinar que permite evaluar la actividad científica de un país. En su haber se pueden definir políticas científicas a nivel gubernamental para determinar nuevas líneas de investigación. El objetivo de este estudio fue visualizar el desarrollo de la actividad científica cubana en las áreas del conocimiento de Matemática-Ciencias de la Computacióny Ciencias Naturales e Ingeniería. En Cuba se invirtió aproximadamente el 2.7 % del PIB en la actividad de I+D y el 63 % del PIB en la educación superior según datos del Banco Mundial. Como resultado de este trabajo se determinó que las temáticas de Ciencias Químicas, Ingenierías y Astronomía-Astrofísica son las más destacadas en cuanto a producción, consumoe impacto científico. Estos resultados se debieron en gran medida a los lazos de colaboración internacional, principalmente con países como España y México. Este estudio nos indica que Cuba, que es uno de los países en vías de desarrollo de la región, prioriza buena parte de sus ingresos económicos al desarrollo de las ciencias naturales.Scientometrics provides tools for evaluating scientific activity of a nation, thereby aiding policy makers in setting policies aimed at determining new lines of research. The aim of this study is gain a clearer picture of Cuban scientific activity in the areas of Mathematics, Computer Science, Natural Sciences and Engineering. Cuba invests approximately 2.7% of GDP inR&D and 63% of GDP in higher education according to the World Bank. Our study shows that subject areas of Chemistry, Engineering and Astronomy-Astrophysics are the most important in terms of scientific output, consumption and scientific impact. These results are due mostly to international cooperation, mainly with Spain and Mexico. This study indicates that Cuba, adeveloping countries of the region, prioritizes much of its GDP to the development of natural sciences.
Cold Warriors: Advancing the Library Modernizing Model in Latin America
Authors: Maymí-Sugrañes Héctor J.
Published: August 2017

After War World II, modernization theories became fashionable as American business, political, and cultural elites, exercising unprecedented influence throughout the world, once again came to believe in the positivist notions of progress and civilization. The “modern” model rapidly gained wide support in both advanced capitalist and developing countries; and soon it was trumpeted as the best solution for less developed nations. Many of the initiatives undertaken and ideas tested in previous decades concerning cultural development culminated with the actions and programs taken on behalf of Latin Americans under the mantle of the Point IV Program and the Alliance for Progress. The challenge was how to translate that model into a different reality. It did not completely work there, and in failing to do so, it diminished the effectiveness of many initiatives carried out under the auspices of Inter-American relations.

De la cybernétique à l’architecture numérique : retour sur un demi-siècle de théories, pratiques et projets expérimentaux
Authors: Roussel Marion
Published: August 2017

Background Little is said about the influence of cybernetics on the architectural practices and theories of the past fifty years. Yet, from the discourses of the experimental architecture of the 1960s and 1970s, to those of the most advanced advocates of digital design, the terms and key themes of cybernetics keep coming back.

Analysis Focusing on the first attempts to apply cybernetics to architecture, then to the themes of the network, cyborg and cyberspace, and finally to the biological turn of the architecture of the 2000s, this article shows the prevalence of notions of the interactivity, adaptability, reflexivity, sensitivity and intelligence of architecture and the city in architects’ discourses.

Conclusion and Implications Architects have never stopped working on these cybernetics notions. Moreover, the latter are culminating today in the theme of the smart city.

Published: August 2017

Mediante el presente artículo se hace una exposición de lo que algunos califican como las aproximaciones modernas al concepto de “interés social”: las teorías de la “shareholder value” y de los “stakeholders”, las cuales son un aporte de la doctrina norteamericana al problema que plantea la gestión de la sociedad anónima de nuestro tiempo. Se presenta un estudio de sus antecedentes, concepción, evolución y relación con la sociedad anónima cotizada, para de esta forma determinar las consecuencias de aplicar la una o la otra en la administración de la gran sociedad de capitales.
La oralidad en la justicia civil como elemento del debido proceso: un enfoque de derechos humanos
Authors: Burbano Carolina Villadiego

El artículo propone como hipótesis que la oralidad es un elemento central del debido proceso en la justicia civil, que se deriva del “derecho a ser oído” contenido en el artículo 8.1 de la Convención Americana de Derechos Humanos. Esta hipótesis se fundamenta en cuatro argumentos: a) la necesidad de garantizar el principio de inmediación en el proceso civil, b) el reconocimiento del derecho a la audiencia como parte del debido proceso en otros instrumentosinternacionales de derechos humanos, c) algunos pronunciamientos de organismos e instituciones del sistema internacional e interamericano derechos humanos, y d) las diferencias entre el texto en español e inglés del artículo 8.1 de la Convención Americana.
La llamada existencia de Dios en Santo Tomás: un replanteo del problema
Authors: Zanotti Gabriel J.
Published: August 2017

La tesis central de este artículo es que el debate sobre las “vías” de Santo Tomás de Aquino está detenido no solo por obvios motivos culturales, sino por un problema interno al tomismo actual. Para ello repasamos primero las objeciones tradicionales (Kant, neopositivismo, Heidegger); examinamos y evaluamos las respuestas tradicionales desde diversos tomismos (Fabro, Gilsón, Llano, Welte, Ferro) y se sugiere luego la propuesta, a partir de una reelaboración de las relaciones entre razón y fe, la toma de conciencia del círculo hermenéutico y un paso adelante en la noción de “filosofía cristiana”.
La disolución de la categoría de identidad: la aproximación deconstructiva del pensamiento de Nancy Fraser
Authors: González María Nohemí
Published: August 2017

Nancy Fraser, filósofa norteamericana. Sostiene que reivindicaciones a favor del reconocimiento de la diferencia impulsan, en la actualidad, muchos de los conflictos sociales en el mundo y abarcan una amplia gama de aspiraciones, desde las más abiertamente emancipadoras hasta las másrotundamente rechazables. Esta multiplicidad de movimientos busca expresar sus reivindicaciones mediante el lenguaje del reconocimiento.Hoy, la reivindicación de la identidad suplanta el interés de clase y lo convierte en el mejor medio de movilización social. Esta nueva visión requiere construir una empresa intelectual y práctica, la cual debe ser la disolución del concepto de identidad como una categoría de análisis social.La autora propone el modelo del estatus como un modelo alternativo en esta configuración. Lo que precisa de reconocimiento no es la identidad específica de grupo sino la condición de los miembros individuales del mismo, comoplenos participantes en la interacción social.Para participar plenamente de un grupo social se requiere de un nuevo modelo de justicia que tenga la capacidad de sustentar que la falta de reconocimiento y de valor cultural no puede entenderse al margen de las condiciones económicasy no puede abstraerse de la distribución de las riquezas. Asimismo razones económicas, tales como la repartición de los ingresos, cuentan como subtextos relativos al reconocimiento.Únicamente considerando ambas dimensiones simultáneamente es posible determinar lo que impide la participación igualitaria en un caso específico. Esto se logra analizando la superposición entre reconocimiento y redistribución para establecer cuál es el mejor modo de remediar la injusticia.
La participación del episcopado colombiano en las negociaciones con la insurgencia: orígenes y debates (1982-1990)
Authors: Cristancho Andrea
Published: August 2017

Este artículo revisa los trabajos más representativos sobre la participación del episcopado colombiano en las negociaciones con la insurgencia durante la década de los ochenta, desde la visión que este actor tiene de la paz. Así, se analiza cómo el clero adaptó para la realidad nacional su perspectiva deesta, identificando los debates centrales y la diversidad de respuestas que se dieron frente a dos aspectos: la pertinencia de establecer una relación entre la necesidad de atender la llamada cuestión social, con la superación de la violencia, y la participación de obispos y sacerdotes en los diálogos con la insurgencia. Como resultado de estos debates, la Iglesia católica colombiana ganó mayor unidad de acción en materia de paz y de conflictos.
Yo y tú, la misma alma: sobre la aporía de la intersubjetividad en la fenomenología de Husserl
Authors: Lombana Cesar Augusto Delgado
Published: August 2017

Este artículo tiene por objetivo abordar la discusión que se levanta en torno a la aporía del plano de constitución fenomenológica de la alteridad, presentada por Husserl en las Meditaciones cartesianas. A causa de la extensión del texto,es menester concentrarse en la Quinta meditación (En que la esfera trascendental del ser se revela como intersubjetividad monadológica), que se puede considerar como punto culminante y central de la exposición efectuada por Husserl, la cual intenta dar cuenta de la relación entre la subjetividad operante (ego constituyente) y la alteridad constituida. De entrada, la aporía de la intersubjetividad se encuentra determinada por la imposibilidad de interpretar el estatuto de la alteridad sin antes pasar por la preponderancia que el ego operante tiene sobre el otro, es decir, la imposibilidad de aceptar la objetividad de la intersubjetividad si no se presume la certeza del sujeto trascendental.

El postestructuralismo como punto de intersección entre medio ambiente y sociedad
Authors: Márquez Martín Arboleda
Published: August 2017

El cambio de paradigmas que trajo consigo el posmodernismo implicó una ruptura de la dualidad existente entre medio ambiente y sociedad. El artículo pretende ilustrar brevemente las principales corrientes teóricas que se han encargado de erosionar tal dualidad al considerar el medio ambiente como un elemento indisolublemente ligado a los fenómenos sociales. Se partirá de un análisis del marxismo semiótico para explicar cómo dicho concepto hace las veces de plataforma teórica de las principales ramas del conocimiento que abordan el tema objeto de análisis. Por último, se recurrirá a la noción foucauldiana[WU1] de conocimiento/poder para demostrar cómo el auge del llamado Conocimiento ecológico o Eco-Knowledge ha logrado relativizar el concepto de soberanía del Estado al generar estándares disciplinarios medioambientales que, a través de diversos organismos multilaterales, imponen obligaciones de naturaleza vinculante a los Estados. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.22518/16578953.47
La aplicación del principio de igualdad y no discriminación a los trabajadores migratorios
Authors: Sanabria María Teresa Palacios
Published: August 2017

El principio de igualdad y no discriminación es considerado como uno de los pilares centrales e inspiradores en la mayor parte de los instrumentos internacionales de protección a los derechos humanos. Dicha concepción implica que todas las personas sujetas a la jurisdicción de un Estado podrán disfrutar de los mismos derechos reconocidos en estos textos. Pese a ello, la aplicación de dicho principio a las personas extranjeras plantea ciertas limitaciones que están autorizadas por el Derecho Internacional de los Derechos Humanos, las cuales no comportan un trato discriminatorio, sino que se definen como una distinción o diferencia de trato, siempre y cuando se sujeten a ciertos parámetros que han sido definidos por la jurisprudencia universal existente.

Published: August 2017

O objetivo deste estudo é evidenciar os benefícios para o meio ambiente resultantes de uma estratégia econômica realizada por uma indústria brasileira. Visando reduzir custos com a compra de paletes, Chapatex e quadros de madeira, usados para embalar e transportar seus produtos, a indústria estudada elaborou uma estratégia em parceria com seus clientes que resultou no aproveitamento por devolução da maior parte desses materiais que iam até o cliente e não retornavam. A redução dos custos com a aquisição desses materiais foi altamente benéfica. Entretanto, mais importante ainda foi o resultado sob o ponto de vista ambiental, pois o reaproveitamento desses materiais reduz no impacto ambiental tanto por não precisar adquirir novos, isto é, retirar da natureza, haja vista serem de madeira, como por evitar descartes inadequados de materiais parados e sem uso para os clientes. Este estudo, portanto, propõe para os responsáveis pelas tomadas de decisões, considerar a visão ambiental e sustentável, mesmo nas áreas da organização em que predomina o foco nos lucros.

Authors: Salih Aso Faeq
Published: August 2017

Aortic stenosis occurs when the heart's aortic valve narrows. This narrowing prevents the valve from opening fully, which obstructs blood flow from the heart into the aorta and onward to the rest of the body. The aim of the study was to performed the echocardiographic study of the major morphological types of aortic valve stenosis in the pediatric cardiac unit in suliamani. A retrospective study including 127 patients aged from birth to 14 years done in the cardiac unit / Sulaimani pediatric teaching hospital. The data were collected from the recorded files of the patients examined in that unit during the period from 2006 to 2016.Collected data included name, age, sex, residency, consanguinity, clinical presentation, associated syndromes and Echo findings.  Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 21. Chi-square test was used to find out the correlation between categorical variables, P value of (≤ 0.05) was regarded significant. Overall, 80 were males (63%) and 47 were females (37%). Forty patients (31.5%) were below one year. The valvular type found in 96 cases (75.6%). subvalvular and supravalvular types found in 22 cases (17.3%), 9 cases (7.1%) respectively. We found 91 cases (94.8%) of bicuspid, 3 cases (3.1) of tricuspid and 2 cases (2.1%) of the unicuspid valve. In subvalvular type we found 14 cases (63.6%) of sub aortic ridge, 5 cases (22.7%) of tunnel type and 3 cases (13.6%) of systolic anterior motion. In supravalvular type we had 7 cases (77.8%) of hourglass and 2 cases (22.2%) of the long segment. Aortic regurgitation was the most common associated cardiac defect. There was a significant association between the types of aortic stenosis and the mild grade of AR; P value <0.05. In conclusion the valvular aortic stenosis was the most common type of aortic stenosis in this study. Bicuspid aortic valve found to be the most common congenital anomaly associated with aortic stenosis. Most of the patients with aortic stenosis were discovered to have an accidental murmur.
Extensibility Interaction Flow Modeling Language Metamodels to Develop New Web Application Concerns
Authors: Wakil Karzan , Jawawi Dayang N.A.
Published: August 2017

Web engineering is a systematic approach to develop web applications, and numerous web engineering methods have been proposed. These methods were extended through defining new models by using different mechanisms to capture the web application concepts. Due to the complexity rising of web applications, the web engineering methods cannot provide web solutions anymore. Even though Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML) is recently proposed as a new method for developing web applications, it has limitations. Therefore these methods need to be improved. In this paper, we present the ability of IFML extensibility to support new concerns from web applications. Moreover, we extend IFML through UML mechanisms to support new concerns from the context to the user interface. The new IFML solves the lack of context web application through defining a new model and becomes a new direction to develop concerns modern web applications.
Enhancing Fire Resistance of Steel Bridge Girders Using External Fire Insulation
Authors: Aziz Esam M.
Published: August 2017

Fire in steel bridges can be a significant hazard; however, no provisions are specified for fire resistance of bridge structural members in current codes and standards. This paper presents results from numerical analysis on the response of steel bridge girders under fire conditions. A finite element model is developed to evaluate the fire resistance of typical steel girders in bridges using fire insulation with different configurations and thicknesses. The first configuration comprised of applying fire insulation on the web plate of the steel girder, while in the second configuration, the steel section is insulated. Results from numerical analysis indicate that fire resistance and failure mode in steel bridge girders is highly influenced by the insulation configuration and thickness. Applying 25.4mm fire insulation on web plate of steel bridge can increase the fire resistance up to 53 minutes, while applying same insulation thickness on steel section can result in 110 minutes fire resistance.

Authors: Pramanik Farina , Firman Ria Noerianingsih , Sam Belly
Published: August 2017

Introduction: Clicking is the most common clinical symptom in patients with Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD). Lacking attention by either the patient or dentist, many patients were found to have suffered from morphologic alteration of the condyles seen in the panoramic radiograph inadvertently. The purpose of the study was to determine the differences of condyle morphology of the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) with and without the existence of clicking by means of digital panoramic radiographs. Methods: This study was based on an analytic descriptive research, whereas subjects are digital panoramic radiographs taken from clicking and non-clicking patients at the Radiology Installation of Dental Hospital Universitas Padjadjaran. 16 samples of each group were chosen in a non-random purposive sampling manner. Results: The research showed the mean of condyle morphology, HOC height  on clicking (6.31 mm) was shorter than the non clicking (7.63 mm), the width of HOC on clicking (10.38 mm) was higher than the non clicking (10.22 mm) and height of the processus condylaris on clicking (19.70 mm) was shorter than non clicking (20.04 mm). Ratio of the high of HOC, width of HOC and high of processus condylaris were 12.13 (clicking), and 12.63 (non-clicking). Conclusion: There was no significant difference between the morphology of the TMJ condyle between clicking and not clicking group, except on high of HOC.

Introduction: Angular cheilitis is one of the oral manifestations of iron, vitamin B12, and folate deficiency. This manifestation frequently seen in people at first and second decade. The purpose of this study was to obtain the prevalence of angular cheilitis and its classifications related to the nutritional intake level in 6-18 years old children. Methods: This research was a descriptive study with 53 children between 6-18 years old from Muhammadiyah Orphanage Bandung as the samples. The oral cavity was examined clinically and their food consumption in a week was noted in Food Recall 24 hours and Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) in order to measure their nutritional intake level. Results: There are 23 children with angular cheilitis. 13% has iron and folate deficiencies, and 87% has iron, vitamin B12, and folate deficiencies. Angular cheilitis types that has been found are Type I (39%), Type II (48%) and Type III (13%). Conclusion: The prevalence of angular cheilitis in 6-18 years old children in Muhammadiyah Orphanage Bandung was moderately high, most of them were having iron, vitamin B12, and folate deficiencies. Type II angular cheilitis was the most frequently seen.

Introduction: The surgical procedure of dental implant comprising one stage surgery for the non-submerged implant design and two stages for submerged. Submerged design is frequently used in Faculty of Dentistry Padjadjaran University as it is safer in achieving osseointegration. This study has been carried out to evaluate resistant capacity of an implant component design submerged against failure based on location and the value of internal stress during the application of mastication force using the 3D Finite Element Method (FEM). Methods: The present study used a CBCT radiograph of the mandibular patient and Micro CT Scan of one submerged implant. Radiograph image was then converted into a digital model of 3D computerized finite element, subsequently inputted the material properties and boundary condition with 87N occlusion load applied and about 29N for the shear force. Results: The maximum stress was found located at the contact area between the implant and alveolar crest with stress value registered up to 193.31MPa located within an implant body where is understandable that this value is far below allowable strength of titanium alloy of 860 MPa. Conclusion: The location of the maximum stress was located on the contact area between the implant-abutment and alveolar crest. This implant design is acceptable and no failure observed under mastication load.
The Multi-dimensional Problem of Quantifying Cartographic Generalization Uncertainty: Linear Features as an Example.
Authors: Al-Ghamdi Ali M.
Published: August 2017

This paper highlights cartographic considerations relevant during the process of quantification of generalization uncertainties, defined here as Generalization Factor (GF). The paper adds to current research on map or spatial database errors and uncertainties, but focuses on the complex nature of the quantification process of generalization uncertainties. Three main cartographic aspects or contexts are discussed in this paper: namely, feature complexity, map sources, and map purposes. The paper discusses the difficulties in producing a universal index as GF that accounts satisfactorily for generalization uncertainty. As a result, there is a need for a thorough study to account for all types of generalization uncertainty for each feature according to the cartographic consideration discussed in this study, although such contexts are not exhaustive. The study suggests that the uncertainty measures should result in a form of value that can be attached to each feature in the database, especially for those detailed databases that are designed for analysis purposes. The study suggests that it might well be possible to quantify generalization uncertainty more easily once the process of generalization is performed automatically or even semi-automatically, especially with the advent of new generalization tools.
The Relationship between Local and International Organizations and Community Development
Authors: Sayed Ali Manal Farouk
Published: August 2017

Although there are numerous definitions and theories of the concept of development, many developing countries continue to suffer from problems associated with lack of development and environmental degradation. It seems that states in developing countries are not effectively facing the increasing requirements for development. In response, institutions and organizations of civil society stepped-up to promote the realization of social development and self-reliance among the citizens. In consequence, the past twenty years witnessed the birth of many national and international non-governmental organizations which started to deliver social services to the population. However, and with reference to Egypt, conflicting opinions questioning the relationship between these organizations and the development of civil society have started to emerge. This paper attempts to investigate first the role of these societies in the development of civil society and review the controversy over this role. The attempt will also touch upon and evaluate several studies which relate to the role of these organizations in the development of civil society in Egypt.

The current descriptive study aims at identifying possible ways for activating the role of volunteers in the Wafaa centers. It is to assist the volunteers to achieve their fundamental objectives. The study relied on the comprehensive social survey method involving all volunteers in the social centers located in the Al Batinah region in Oman. Although the most important results of the study show an awareness and understanding by the volunteers of the objectives of the centers, yet a few of these goals require focus upon during the training sessions for volunteers. The results also show the multiplicity and diversity of constraints that limit the effectiveness of the professional performance of the volunteers some of which are linked to aspects of self and artistic, including those associated with the financial aspect of management. And also revealed the constraints associated with the local community
