Examining the Relationship among Brand Commitment, Brand Trust, and Brand Citizenship Behavior in the Service Industry
Authors: Handayani Nurina Putri , Herwany Aldrin
Published: February 2020

Brands are strategic prerequisites that help organizations to generate more value for customers and sustainable competitive advantage among competitors. Employee behavior is crucial for brand success because the service provided by employees is located in the interface between brand commitment and brand delivery. As a result, an increasing number of banks is encouraging their employees to be more competitive and improve the efficacy and stability of the banking sector. The main objective of this work is to investigate the relationships among brand commitment, brand trust, and brand citizenship behavior in private banks. The data were collected from 249 respondents from private banking companies in Indonesia. Structural equation modelling was used to test research hypotheses, and a highly reliable and valid model was developed. The findings indicate that brand commitment has a positive effect on brand citizenship behavior, while brand trust is not a predictor of brand citizenship behavior. Furthermore, there is a correlation between brand commitment and brand trust. These findings provide useful insight and suggestions for managers in the banking sector.
Do Accounting and Finance Master’s Students Apply Prospect Theory?
Authors: Alves Maria Teresa V. D.
Published: February 2020

This study aims to question the assumptions of prospect theory using a sample of students enrolled in a master’s course on accounting and finance at a Portuguese polytechnic institution. Such theory has stood out among others developed in the field of Behavioural Finance due to the debate and investigation it has generated. To achieve this aim, we applied a questionnaire four consecutive years (2012–2015). The instrument included a set of alternative response questions that seek to unveil respondents’ preferences regarding the situations they were presented with. Bibliographic and descriptive research was carried out and the results were compared with those obtained by other authors but they were not always consistent. Thus, the isolation effect was confirmed; the reflection effect was almost always confirmed; and the certainty effect was not always confirmed. Regarding attitude toward risk, the assumptions of risk aversion, and importance given to changes in wealth (at the expense of wealth states), our results are in line with those obtained by said authors. Hence, this study contributes to support prospect theory with its results and the confirmation of the isolation effect.
Risk Disclosure and Cost of Equity: A Bayesian Approach
Authors: Tirado-Beltrán Jose Miguel , Cabedo José David , Muñoz-Ramírez Dennis Esther
Published: February 2020

This paper aims to analyze the relationship between risk information disclosure and the cost of equity of companies in the Spanish capital market. This study uses a set of 71 firms listed on Madrid stock exchange between 2010 and 2015; all of them are non-financial listed companies for which profit forecasts existed. The problem was analyzed using a Bayesian linear regression approach. The results show that cost of equity and disclosed risk information are not related if a global view of the latter is adopted. However, a positive relationship between financial risks and the cost of equity occurs when risk information is divided into financial and non-financial risks.

Published: February 2020

To ensure fetal lipid supply, maternal blood triglyceride (TG) concentrations are robustly elevated during pregnancy. Interestingly, a lower increase in maternal blood TG concentrations has been observed in some obese mothers. We have shown that high-fat (HF) feeding during pregnancy significantly reduces maternal blood TG levels. Therefore, we performed this study to investigate if and how obesity alters maternal blood TG levels. Maternal obesity was established by prepregnant HF (ppHF) feeding, which avoided the dietary effect during pregnancy. We found not only that maternal blood TG concentrations in ppHF dams were remarkably lower than in control dams but also that the TG peak occurred earlier during gestation. Hepatic TG production and intestinal TG absorption were unchanged in ppHF dams, but systemic lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity was increased, suggesting that increased blood TG clearance contributes to the decreased blood TG concentrations in ppHF dams. Although significantly higher levels of UCP1 protein were observed in interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) of ppHF dams, Ucp1 gene deletion did not restore blood TG concentrations in ppHF dams. Expression of the angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4), a potent endogenous LPL inhibitor, was significantly increased during pregnancy. However, the pregnancy-induced elevation of blood TG was almost abolished in Angptl4−/− dams. Compared with control dams, Angptl4 mRNA levels were significantly lower in iBAT, gonadal white adipose tissue, and livers of ppHF dams. Importantly, ectopic overexpression of ANGPTL4 restored maternal blood TG concentrations in ppHF dams. Together, these results indicate that ANGPTL4 plays a vital role in increasing maternal blood TG concentrations during pregnancy. Obesity impairs the rise of maternal blood TG concentrations by reducing ANGPTL4 expression in mice.

Karakteristik Dielektrik Isolator Polimer Resin Epoksi Berbahan Pengisi Abu Tongkol Jagung
Authors: Harun Yuditirajab , Pratiwi Amelya Indah
Published: February 2020

Intisari — Pengembangan isolator polimer semakin meningkat dikarenakan sifat dielektrik isolator polimer lebih baik dibanding kaca dan keramik, konstruksi relatif lebih ringan, ketahanan kimia yang baik, ketahanan yang tinggi terhadap asam, memiliki sifat kedap air (hidrophobik) dan proses pembuatannya yang relatif lebih cepat dibandingkan isolator keramik dan kaca. Adapun kekurangannya yakni bahannya kurang tahan  terhadap  perubahan  cuaca  yang  menyebabkan  kekuatan  mekanis  menurun  dan  kerusakan  fisik  isolator. Kekurangan tersebut dapat diperbaiki dengan menambahkan bahan pengisi (filler) pada bahan isolator, seperti pasir silika, ataupun abu arang yang banyak mengandung silika. Penelitian ini mengkaji karakteristik dielektrik isolator polimer berbahan pengisi abu arang tongkol jagung. Bahan resin epoksi yang di gunakan adalah Dyglicidyl Ether Of Bisphenol-A (DGEBA) sebagai bahan dasar dan Metaphenylene Diamine (MPDA) sebagai bahan pengeras dengan perbandingan campuran 2:1 dan dicampurkan bahan pengisi (filler) dengan komposisi 0 gr, 15gr, 30gr. Pengujian dilakukan pada kondisi kering dan basah. Hasilnya Korona yang terjadi pada sampel dengan filler 30gr lebih lama dibandingkan dengan sampel dengan filler 15gr, dan nilai tegangan tembus yang terjadi pada sampel dengan filler 30gr lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan sampel dengan filler 15gr.  Dengan demikian peningkatan filler  secara  bertahap  dapat  memperbaiki nilai tegangan tembus pada sampel isolator.

Published: February 2020

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvailla vanhempien kokemuksia moniammatillisesta verkostoyhteistyöstä asiakaslähtöisyyden näkökulmasta lapsi- ja perhepalveluissa. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli tuottaa tietoa asiakaslähtöisyyden toteutumisesta lapsi- ja perhepalveluiden moniammatillisessa verkostoyhteistyössä. Moniammatillinen verkostoyhteistyö on lapsi- ja perhepalveluiden oleellinen toimintamalli lapsen ja/tai perheen tuen tarpeen arvioinnissa, suunnittelussa ja seurannassa. Tutkimuksen tiedonantajina olivat kymmenen vanhempaa (n=10) ja tiedonantajat olivat osallistuneet moniammatillisiin verkostotapaamisiin sekä kuntien että erikoissairaanhoidon lapsi- ja perhepalveluissa erään maakunnan alueella. Aineisto kerättiin avoimella haastattelulla ja analysoitiin sisällön analyysillä.

Tämän tutkimuksen perusteella lapsi- ja perhepalveluiden moniammatillinen verkostoyhteistyö parhaimmillaan tukee vanhempia ja luo vahvan pohjan hyvälle asiakassuhteelle. Asiakaslähtöisyyden toteutumisen perustana nähtiin vanhemman osallistaminen verkostoyhteistyöprosessiin ja verkostoyhteistyön suunnittelu, tiedonkulku ja ammattilaisten yhteistyöosaaminen. Puutteet verkostoyhteistyöprosessin suunnittelussa ja arvioinnissa yhdessä vanhemman kanssa sekä riittävässä tiedonkulussa ja vanhemman osallistamisessa verkostoyhteistyöhön koettiin verkostoyhteistyön haasteina. Tutkimus tuottaa uutta tietoa, jota voi hyödyntää moniammatillista verkostoyhteistyötä kehitettäessä. Tutkimus tuottaa tärkeää tietoa myös moniammatillisen verkostoyhteistyön koordinoimiseen ja sen kehittämiseen.

Authors: Rantsi Mervi , Hyttinen Virva
Published: February 2020

Varhaisella diagnoosilla ja lääkehoidolla pystytään hidastamaan muistisairauksien etenemistä ja parantamaan sairastuneiden toimintakykyä sekä elämänlaatua. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää, toteutuuko yhdenvertaisuus uuden muistisairauslääkkeen käytön aloituksessa sosioekonomisten ryhmien välillä. Tutkimuksen paneeliaineisto on 10 prosentin satunnaisotos vuonna 2000 65 vuotta täyttäneistä kotona asuvista suomalaisista (n=64 250), joita on seurattu vuosien 2000–2013 ajan.

Tässä kansallisiin rekisteritietoihin perustuvassa kohorttitutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin ensiksi AKE-estäjien uusien käyttäjien (n=6 977) uuden muistisairauslääkkeen (memantiini) käytön aloitusta vuosien 2002–2013 aikana. Toisessa analyysissä tarkasteltiin osa-aineistossa sairaalahoitodiagnoosin saaneita muistisairauslääkkeiden uusia käyttäjiä (n=3 475) vuosien 2003–2013 aikana. Coxin suhteellisten riskitiheyksien mallin avulla tarkasteltiin sosioekonomisen aseman yhteyttä 1) memantiinin käytön aloitukseen AKE-estäjän käytön aloittaneilla, ja 2) muistisairauslääkkeen käytön aloitukseen ensimmäisestä kognitiivisiin oireisiin liittyvästä sairaalahoitodiagnoosista.

AKE-estäjien käyttäjillä ylempi sosioekonominen asema lisäsi memantiinin käytön aloitusta (suhteellinen riskitiheys (hazard ratio (HR)) 1,43, 95% luottamusväli (LV) 1,23-1,68, p< 0,001). Sairaalahoitodiagnoosin saaneilla sosioekonominen asema ei ollut yhteydessä muistisairauslääkkeen käytön aloitukseen. Lääkehoidon innovaatioiden käyttöönottoon liittyy tämän tutkimuksen mukaan eriarvoisuutta sosioekonomisten ryhmien välillä. Tulevaisuudessa tulisi tutkia, mitkä taustalla olevat tekijät johtavat terveydenhuollon innovaatioihin liittyvään eriarvoisuuteen.

THEODORET OF CYRUS ON MESSALIANISM
Authors: BUDA Daniel
Published: February 2020

This paper aims to review the positions of Theodoret of Cyrus on Messalianism. After a brief presentation on Messalianism and of the position taken against it by some Church Fathers and synods, the author formulates the hypothesis that Theodoret, while taking a position on Messalianism, was careful not to harm the reputation of Antioch, as this theological centre could be perceived in Alexandria as a fief of Messalianism in the East. In Historia religiosa, Theodoret carefully avoids any association of his ascetic heroes with Messalianism. The report on Messianism in Historia ecclesiastica also carefully disconnects Antioch from Messalianism and declared that Syria was cleared up of their influence.
UNDERSTANDING OUR FATHER IN THE CONTEXT OF HUMAN PERFECTION PREACHED IN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT, ACCORDING TO ST. GREGORY OF NYSSA’S HOMILIES ON THE LORD’S PRAYER
Authors: PODARU Adrian
Published: February 2020

It is not by chance that the prayer Our Father is recommended by Jesus Christ during the so-called Sermon on the Mount. All that has been said in this Sermon aimed at perfection: Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect (Matt. 5, 48). Viewed in this light, the Lord’s prayer is also the prayer which is properly uttered only in a state of perfection, and even if it may be used as a mean to achieve perfection, nevertheless it is perfectly uttered only in a state of perfection; therefore, in a way, the Lord’s prayer is the aim of the Christian life. This is the view of St. Gregory of Nyssa and this is what this article tries to argue by using the texts of this Cappadocian Father.

Philotheos Kokkinos was one of the most prolific late-Byzantine hagiographers, who eulogized saints of old, as well as contemporaneous holy figures. He dedicated the first among his vitae of contemporaneous saints to the little-known holy man Nikodemos the Younger from the Philokalles monastery in Thessalonike. While superior of this monastery, Kokkinos gathered information about the holy man’s life and arranged it into the form of a short vita, titled hypomnēma (BHG 2307). This article analyzes the ways in which Kokkinos constructed an identity in narrative form for Nikodemos, exploring elements of holy foolery, hesychast influences, the miracle accounts weaved into the narrative, as well as its intended audience.

The study aimed to identify a set of Islamic standards for the educational concepts that should be taken into account when addressing the process of Islamic rooting. The researcher used the analytical descriptive method, and the results of the study showed the absence of Interdisciplinary studies, which may contribute more to correcting the methodology of Islamic rooting for educational sciences, among specialists in the origins of education and other disciplines in the educational fields or otherwise. Thus, the study presented a set of Islamic Rooting standards for the educational concepts which are: reliance on sources of Islamic education, adherence to the rules of derivation and reasoning in Islamic methodology, ability to critique and deal with the heritage tales and understanding and knowledge of Arabic language methods and their multiple uses. The distinction between the sources of knowledge in Islam and other nations, starting from the Islamic perception of the universe, man and life, extensive knowledge in the field of education and work within the field. Results also indicate the presentation of educational concepts clearly after rooting them, verification of rooting objectives of educational concepts, emergence of features of the methodology of Islamic roots when dealing with educational concepts, averageness in dealing with educational concepts coming from other educational cultures, taking into consideration the aspects of the legal dispute and its reflection on educational applications. The study concluded with a set of recommendations in the light of its findings

While Fe-N-C materials are a promising alternative to platinum for catalyzing oxygen reduction in acidic polymer fuel cells, limited understanding of their operando degradation restricts rational approaches towards improved durability. Here we show that Fe-N-C catalysts initially comprising two distinct FeNx sites (S1 and S2) degrade via the transformation of S1 into iron oxides while the structure and number of S2 were unmodified. Structure-activity correlations drawn from end-of-test 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy reveal that both sites initially contribute to the ORR activity but only S2 significantly contributes after 50 h of operation. From in situ 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy in inert gas coupled to calculations of the Mössbauer signature of FeNx moieties in different electronic states, we identify S1 to be a high-spin FeN4C12 moiety and S2 a low- or intermediate spin FeN4C10 moiety. These insights lay the ground for rational approaches towards Fe-N-C cathodes with improved durability in acidic fuel cells.
Electrical Conductivity in a Porous, Cubic Rare-Earth Catecholate
Authors: Skorupskii Grigorii , Dinca Mircea
Published: February 2020

Electrically conductive metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide a rare example of porous materials that can efficiently transport electrical current, a combination favorable for a variety of technological applications. The vast majority of such MOFs are highly anisotropic in both their structures and properties: only two electrically conductive MOFs reported to date exhibit cubic structures that enable isotropic charge transport. Here, we report a new family of intrinsically porous frameworks made from rare earths and hexahydroxytriphenylene that are cubic, porous, and intrinsically conductive with conductivities reaching 10−5 S/cm and surface areas of up to 780 m2/g. By expanding the list of MOFs with isotropic charge transport, these results will help improve our understanding of design strategies for porous electronic materials.

Here we describe the synthesis, characterization and in vitro and in vivo performance of a series of tantalum oxide (TaOx) based nanoparticles (NPs) for computed tomography (CT). Five distinct versions of 9-12 nm diameter silane coated TaOx nanocrystals (NCs) were fabricated by a sol-gel method with varying degrees of hydrophilicity and with or without fluorescence, with the highest reported Ta content to date (78%). Highly hydrophilic NCs were left bare and were evaluated in vivo in mice for micro-CT of full body vasculature, where following intravenous injection, TaOx NCs demonstrate high CT contrast, circulation in blood for ~ 3 h, and eventual accumulation in RES organs; and following injection locally in the mammary gland, where the full ductal tree structure can be clearly delineated. Partially hydrophilic NCs were encapsulated within mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs; TaOx@MSNPs) and hydrophobic NCs were encapsulated within poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA; TaOx@PLGA) NPs, serving as potential CT-imagable drug delivery vehicles. Bolus intramuscular injections of TaOx@PLGA NPs and TaOx@MSNPs to mimic the accumulation of NPs at a tumor site produce high signal enhancement in mice. In vitro studies on bare NCs and formuated NPs demonstrate high cytocompatibility and low dissolution of TaOx. This work solidifies that TaOx-based NPs are versatile contrast agents for CT.

Transpeptidases are ideal biocatalysts for site-specific peptide and protein labeling, whereas reactions that target N-terminus cysteine with commercially available reagents have become common practice. However, a versatile approach that allows bioconjugation at the terminus of choice (N or C), while avoiding the use of backbone-modified substrates (e.g. depsipeptide) or large excess of reagent, is highly desirable. Aiming to meet these benchmarks, we have combined the advantages of asparaginyl endopeptidase (AEP) catalysis with a N-terminal cysteine trapping reaction and created a chemo-enzymatic labeling system. In this approach, polypeptide with a Asn-Cys-Leu recognition sequence are ligated with a counterpart possessing an N-terminal Gly-Leu by AEP; the byproduct Cys-Leu is subsequently trapped by a stable and inexpensive scavenger, 2-formyl phenylboronic acid (FPBA), to yield an inert thiazolidine derivative, thereby driving the reaction forward to product formation. By carefully screening the reaction conditions for optimal compatibility and minimal hydrolysis, conversion to the ligated product in the model reaction resulted in excellent yields. The versatility of this AEP ligation/FPBA coupling system was further demonstrated by site-specific labeling the N- or C-termini of various proteins.

Pathogen-related signals induce a number of cytosolic pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) to form canonical inflammasomes, which activate pro-caspase-1 and trigger pyroptotic cell death. All well-studied inflammasome-forming PRRs oligomerize with the adapter protein ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD) to generate a large structure in the cytosol, which induces the dimerization, autoproteolysis, and activation of the pro-caspase-1 zymogen. However, several PRRs can also directly interact with pro-caspase-1 without ASC, forming smaller “ASC-independent” inflammasomes. It is currently thought that little, if any, pro-caspase-1 autoproteolysis occurs during, and is not required for, ASC-independent inflammasome signaling. Here, we show that the related human PRRs NLRP1 and CARD8 exclusively form ASC-dependent and ASC-independent inflammasomes, respectively, identifying CARD8 as the first canonical inflammasome-forming PRR that does not form an ASC-containing signaling platform. Despite their different structures, we discovered that both the NLRP1 and CARD8 inflammasomes require pro-caspase-1 autoproteolysis between the small and large catalytic subunits to induce pyroptosis. Thus, pro-caspase-1 self-cleavage is a required regulatory step for pyroptosis induced by human canonical inflammasomes.
Artivismo en la cultura digital. Dos casos en México: #IlustradoresConAyotzinapa y #No estamos todas.
Authors: Escobar Fuentes Susana , Aguilar Tamayo Manuel Francisco
Published: February 2020

El arte y los movimientos sociales han estado ligados de manera muy estrecha hasta consolidarse como formas visuales del llamado artivismo: conocido como arte político o arte comprometido. En las últimas décadas y con el surgimiento de las redes sociales, estas formas de arte se han concebido para los entornos digitales, construyendo así una cultura digital de la protesta dentro de los movimientos sociales. Como ejemplo recurrimos a dos casos en México: #IlustradoresConAyotzinapa y #No estamos todas. Los objetivos de este trabajo están orientados a: describir, conceptualizar y caracterizar el artivismo y su papel dentro de los movimientos sociales. Entender el arte en plataformas digitales como formas de activismo. Para ellos recurrimos metodológicamente al análisis visual de dos plataformas digitales de los movimientos referidos. Describimos su función, formas de operación, protagonistas e impacto en la conformación de la cultura digital de los movimientos sociales.

Authors: Vazquez Julieta Candelaria , Vidal Yevenes Libertad
Published: February 2020

En el presente trabajo analizamos parte de la obra del colectivo artístico llamado “Yeguada Latinoamericana” en torno a las demandas sociales y políticas que el mismo plantea, pero también respecto a la forma en la cual se materializan estas demandas: el poner el cuerpo femenino en el espacio público. Cuerpo, política y feminismo como ejes principales que se entrelazan para dar lugar a nuevas formas artísticas que no sólo responder a criterios estéticos, sino que cristalizan conflictos sociales y políticos.
Resistencias creativas y estéticas de la protesta:
Authors: Falconí Abad Fernando Eduardo
Published: February 2020

El presente artículo consiste en una revisión de diversas manifestaciones, gestos y acciones desde la sociedad civil en general, y desde sectores y comunidades indígenas de Ecuador y México en particular, vinculadas con la protesta social en el espacio público. Hago un estudio contextual de estas protestas, así como de las creatividades, estéticas y poéticas de las mismas. Me interesan los diálogos, relaciones y tensiones que puedan tener con el activismo, el artivismo y el arte, tanto en su fondo como en su forma, así como su visibilidad e impacto en la sociedad en general. La lucha por los derechos humanos y los de la naturaleza, o protestas contra el racismo, los abusos de poder de un sistema o la explotación de recursos, son elementos de movilización de estos sectores que desarrollan estrategias creativas y políticas vinculadas con la puesta en escena del cuerpo en el espacio, y en la mayoría de los casos analizados, con una ancestralidad y ritualidad desde cosmovisiones indígenas. En ese sentido, se vinculan con una Filosofía, Ética y Estética de la Liberación.

Bureaucracy Performance in Public Services in Indonesia
Authors: Yusriadi Yusriadi , Farida Umi
Published: February 2020

Bureaucracy is a tool that plays an essential role in the implementation of development in the region.  One of the reform agenda is to create a clean government, and free from the practices of corruption, collusion, and nepotism. Performance-based management is the measurement of bureaucratic performance oriented to outcome measurement. The type of research used is literature. The primary data type is data in the form of scientific work related to employee performance, web pages that discuss performance, while corresponding main data are books or other literature that supports and has to do with research. From the results of the study is one of the significant challenges of the public bureaucracy is how to be able to carry out activities effectively and efficiently. By going to a planned change, it will enable a continuous process of change; thus the performance of the government bureaucracy in public service will be more effective and efficient following the expectations and aspirations of the community. The application of good governance with information technology-based can use as a strategy and guidance in providing services to the public.
