THE ROLE OF CONSUMER INVOLVEMENT ON INNOVATION AND NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS: META-ANALYSIS AND WORD CLOUD TEXT ANALYSIS
Authors: TURP GÖLBAŞI Bilge
Published: July 2022

Today, businesses are trying to make the concept and process of innovation a collective phenomenon by collaborating in innovation activities and opening up, especially thanks to the cooperation and relationships they have established with consumers. In order for new economic paradigms to be superior, new paradigms must have factors that can be defined as a group of key inputs. From this point of view, there are many factors that affect the success and performance of innovation and new product development. Consumers have become the most important source of innovation. Studies show that the impact of consumer integration on innovative products and resource expenditure is enormous. In this study, the aforementioned paradigms were brought together and a literature review of the projects and researches in the field of innovation, consumer effects of new product development processes and innovation integration between the years 2005-2022 was conducted. Then, the text data of these studies were brought together and translated and a dataset was created. Then, word cloud text analysis, which is a powerful visualization tool, was applied on the Anaconda-Pycharm software with python programming language to provide a statistical view. It has been observed that the results obtained by this text analysis method, the most frequent terms settle in the center by increasing their density, and the lower frequency terms are located towards the borders by decreasing. According to the results of the observation, it was found that the terms with high frequency were “NPD (New Product Development), consumer participation and innovation” and were clearly concentrated in the center. As a result, in parallel with the results of meta-analysis and word cloud text analysis, it is concluded that the innovation and new product development strategy is "consumer participation", that is, staying close to the consumer, so that the right users can provide the company with ideas that promote new products.In future studies, considering that product innovations have different dimensions as "technology innovation" and "market innovation", the factors that demand different levels of information from the consumer depending on the innovation level should be evaluated. The contribution of the study to the literature is that at the stage of developing a new product idea, companies that have a high level of knowledge about consumers and consumer groups will be able to develop products that perform at a higher level when they gain more information.
Inhibition of Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-Induced Breast Tumors in Rats by Soy Protein is Mediated by Downregulation of MAPK/AP-1 Signaling
Authors: K. Das Salil
Published: July 2022

We reported earlier that replacement of casein by soy protein in the diets of rats exposed to the carcinogen, dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA), not only delayed the initiation of breast tumor but also had a protective effect against the development of aggressive tumor. The aim of this study was to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which soy protein offers these beneficial effects. Tumor was developed by gavage administration of single dose of 80 mg/kg of DMBA into 50-day old female rats, maintained on a standard AIN-76A diet containing either casein or soy protein. After ~120 days of DMBA administration, we evaluated the role of MAPK phosphorylation and subsequent AP-1 activation on the differential effects of soy protein and casein on the development of aggressiveness and progression of DMBA-induced breast tumor and determined if soy protein controls MMP-9 and uPAR expression by modifying AP-1 activity. The present study demonstrates that the beneficial effect of soy protein in breast tumor development is mediated by control of MAPK/AP-1 signaling. It is concluded that deactivation of MAPK pathway lead to down-regulation of the AP-1 activation which in turn down regulates the target gene and may be responsible for controlling breast tumor aggressiveness. Thus, it is suggested that MAPKs (ERK, p38 and JNK), MMP-9 and uPAR may be a potential target for anticancer therapy inhibiting tumor vasculature and invasion stimulated by tumor-associated stroma, and regulating the target gene and may be responsible for the beneficial effects of soy protein.

Published: July 2022

The evolution of studies and learning about the functioning of the human genome made gene expression techniques increasingly explored and applied in recent years' research. There is a need for a deeper understanding of these materials' toxicology in bioinformatics and nanotechnology. Therefore, the present work aims to present the gene expression levels of three studies using three different human cell lines (co-culture of Caco-2/HT29-MTX, SAE, and THP-1 cells), submitted to NPs of carbon dioxide of titanium, via free bioinformatics tools, such as the Limma package (Bioconductor) and Reactome. The data were prepared and standardized by executing the Limma package (Bioconductor), and the results of the most and least expressed genes were used in Reactome. Results show the activation of some genes in common to the experiments, highlighting the co-culture samples of Caco-2/HT29-MTX and THP-1 cells treated with titanium dioxide Nps.

Published: July 2022

In the competitive scenary of the 21st century, organizations need to deal with the reality that in order to obtain an above-average return, it is necessary to be willing to meet high quality standards. This article consists of studying the extrusion and painting processes of an aluminum profiles and frames manufacturer, located in the south of Santa Catarina, in order to analyze and measure, through the use of quality tools and statistical software, faults and errors arising from this process. In this context, the research methodology adopted for this study is characterized as exploratory-descriptive, with a quantitative character. The methodological procedure started with an analysis and mapping of the extrusion and painting processes of aluminum profiles, seeking and interpreting information relevant to the study. Then the data was collected and analyzed, where it was possible to apply the Pareto Diagram and identify the most frequent non-conformities. A statistical analysis was then performed using the IBM Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0 software, comparing and associating the collected data in order to identify and understand the root causes of the defects that occurred. With the results obtained from the analyzes carried out, it became possible to draw up an action plan, using the 5W2H quality tool, containing suggestions and proposals for improvements, with a focus on reducing the scrap generated from the defects identified in the processes of extrusion and painting of aluminum profiles.

Published: July 2022

A geographical indication (GI) seal granted to a product certifies its territorial origin as well as the link between its quality and human and natural characteristics of its production environment (terroir). An existing challenge in the process of setting up a GI for a product is delimiting the geographic area that properly represents the terroir and generates the expected territorial development after the grant of this protection seal. This article presents tools that can contribute to studies on the delimitation of the territory of GIs in Brazil. Through a bibliographic search, we compared models for delineating GI areas compared with the standards used for this purpose in Brazilian GIs. Our findings show that the process of delimiting GI areas ​​in Brazil is different for each type of indication, and distinct characteristics are also present in each type of GI intended, whether it be an Indication of Source or a Denomination of Origin. Only two of the analyzed models exhibited structures close to these characteristics, so they are recommended to aid studies on the delimitation of the area of Brazilian GIs. However, they cannot be used as a standard to this end.

Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVE

The surgical treatment of Chiari malformation type I (CM-I) frequently involves dural incision at the posterior cranial fossa. In cases of persistent patent occipital sinus (OS), the sinus is usually obliterated and divided. However, there are some patients whose OS is prominent and requires crucial modification of the operative planning to avoid potentially life-threatening massive hemorrhage and disturbance of cerebral venous circulation. In the present study, the anatomical variations of the dominant OS in patients with CM-I were analyzed and the authors attempted to develop treatment recommendations for patients with CM-I with dominant OS.

METHODS

The study included 213 patients with CM-I who underwent MR venography (MRV) prior to surgical treatment. OS dominance was assessed using 2D time-of-flight MRV or 3D phase-contrast MRV. Particular attention was paid to the pattern of venous outflow channels. The characteristics of the patients with dominant OS and the surgical outcomes were retrospectively reviewed.

RESULTS

Dominant OS was identified in 7 patients (3.3%). The age in those with dominant OS was significantly younger than in those without (p = 0.0202). The incidence of concurrent scoliosis in the patients with dominant OS was significantly higher than in those without (p = 0.0366). All the dominant OSs were found to be of the oblique type. Unilateral oblique OS (OOS) with normal ipsilateral transverse sinus (TS) and hypoplastic contralateral TS was found in 2 patients (0.9%). The authors found 1 patient each (0.5%) who had unilateral OOS with hypoplastic ipsilateral TS and normal contralateral TS, unilateral OOS with bilateral hypoplastic TSs, and bilateral OOSs with bilateral normal TSs. Bilateral OOSs with bilateral hypoplastic TSs were found in 2 patients (0.9%). All these patients had syringomyelia. Instead of performing Y-shaped dural incision and duraplasty, surgical procedures were modified depending on the types of the OOSs to preserve their venous drainage routes. Although massive bleeding from the dominant OS during dural incision occurred in 1 patient, none suffered neurological deterioration. The syrinx volume decreased in all but 1 of the patients postoperatively.

CONCLUSIONS

Assessment of the venous drainage pattern using MRV is indispensable for safe surgical treatment in patients with CM-I. The surgical procedure should be modified based on the type of dominant OS to minimize the surgical risks.

Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVE

First-pass effect (FPE), defined as successful reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score 2b–3) with a single stent retriever attempt without salvage treatment, has not been fully identified in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO). The authors’ aim was to assess the impact of FPE on efficacy and safety for patients with BAO.

METHODS

The authors included data from the Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion Study (BASILAR) about patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy within 24 hours after symptom onset and compared the clinical outcomes of patients who achieved FPE with those who did not. In addition, the authors further compared outcomes between patients with FPE and those with final successful reperfusion achieved with salvage treatment. The primary clinical outcome was favorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale score ≤ 3).

RESULTS

Among 471 enrolled patients, FPE was achieved in 83 (17.6%) who underwent acute BAO thrombectomy. FPE was strongly associated with favorable outcome (adjusted OR 2.84, 95% CI 1.56–5.16, p = 0.001), lower rate of mortality (28.9% of FPE patients vs 48.2% of non-FPE patients, p = 0.001), and shorter median time from groin puncture to recanalization (65 minutes vs 110 minutes, p < 0.001). Occlusion site of the distal basilar artery, cardioembolism, and undetermined etiology were positive predictors of FPE, whereas baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was a negative predictor. Compared with final successful reperfusion, FPE also contributed independently to favorable outcomes (adjusted OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.23–4.10, p = 0.008).

CONCLUSIONS

FPE was associated with 90-day favorable outcome in patients with acute BAO who underwent stent retriever thrombectomy within 24 hours.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to initially validate a recent morphological classification of cervical spine deformity pathology.

METHODS

The records of 10 patients for each of the 3 classification subgroups (flat neck, focal deformity, and cervicothoracic), as well as for 8 patients with coronal deformity only, were extracted from a prospective multicenter database of patients with cervical deformity (CD). A panel of 15 physicians of various training and professional levels (i.e., residents, fellows, and surgeons) categorized each patient into one of the 4 groups. The Fleiss kappa coefficient was utilized to evaluate intra- and interrater reliability. Accuracy, defined as properly selecting the main driver of deformity, was reported overall, by morphotype, and by reviewer experience.

RESULTS

The overall classification demonstrated a moderate to substantial agreement (round 1: interrater Fleiss kappa = 0.563, 95% CI 0.559–0.568; round 2: interrater Fleiss kappa = 0.612, 95% CI 0.606–0.619). Stratification by level of training demonstrated similar mean interrater coefficients (residents 0.547, fellows 0.600, surgeons 0.524). The mean intrarater score was 0.686 (range 0.531–0.823). A substantial agreement between rounds 1 and 2 was demonstrated in 81.8% of the raters, with a kappa score > 0.61. Stratification by level of training demonstrated similar mean intrarater coefficients (residents 0.715, fellows 0.640, surgeons 0.682). Of 570 possible questions, reviewers provided 419 correct answers (73.5%). When considering the true answer as being selected by at least one of the two main drivers of deformity, the overall accuracy increased to 86.0%.

CONCLUSIONS

This initial validation of a CD morphological classification system reiterates the importance of dynamic plain radiographs for the evaluation of patients with CD. The overall reliability of this CD morphological classification has been demonstrated. The overall accuracy of the classification system was not impacted by rater experience, demonstrating its simplicity.
Human Creativity in the Context of Creativity of God in Gen 1–2
Authors: Pikor Wojciech
Published: July 2022

In the biblical perspective, stories about the creation of the world in Gen 1–2 remain to be the basis to a discussion about human creativity. The premise of the text – creation of man “in the image of God” – makes us assume that, according to the Bible, creativity of man is to be the image of God’s creativity. Verification of this thesis goes from presenting history of interpretation of the biblical idea, namely crea­tion of man “in the image of God,” then points to the need of analyzing the narrative of this phrase. Since the image of God presented in Gen 1 is not descriptive, the second part of the paper examines the way God reveals himself in this text through his creative action. The key to God’s creativity is his word of creation which he uses to differentiate created beings and establish relationships among them in order to build harmony in the newly founded world. The final part of the paper focuses on the analysis of verbs which in Gen 1–2 refer to human creativity; those verbs also point to their possible association with words as instru­ments for creating, organizing and arranging reality shaped by man. Following that comes the conclusion that God’s creativity is extended into creativity of man who was made “in the image of God.”
Mutual Vulnerability? Asymmetric Relationships in Biblical Anthropology
Authors: Martos Levente Balazs
Published: July 2022

The 2019 PBC document views relationships between parents and children, masters and servants, “shepherds” and “the flock,” civil authority and citizens as asymmetric. The structure of the document suggests that these relationship systems are based on shared human experience and a common theological foundation: they appear to repeat the pattern of the parent-child relationship and originate in the obligation to obey God. Using the document as a starting point, I would like to outline what the concept of asymmetric relationships can mean today. In search of common perspectives, I will compare New Testament texts with the interpretation of asymmetry in today’s social ethics discourse. The inequality and asymmetry of different persons and groups seem to be an undeniable fact, causing tension that can be resolved fruitfully by parties who take responsibility for each other in the presence of a “third.”
Was Not the Woman Created in the Likeness of God? Pauline Midrashic Reading of Gen 1–3 in 1 Cor 11:7–12
Authors: Matand Bulembat Jean-Bosco
Published: July 2022

To demonstrate his claim in 1 Cor 11:2–16 about how a Christian man and woman should wear their hair during liturgical worship, Paul uses several types of arguments, including Scripture (vv. 7–12). In v. 7, he states that “A man should not cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God, but a woman is the glory of man” (NAB). Most readers today, question the soundness of such an ar­gument and may accuse Paul of misogyny. Does he not, contrary to what Gen 1:26–27 asserts, contend that the woman was not created in the image of God? The present study argues that Paul’s position can be better understood only if one, on the one hand, highlights the points of his argumentation and, on the other hand, considers the techniques of the Jewish theory of interpretation of the Scriptures in practice at the time of the Apostle. Paul is doing a Midrashic reading of Gen 1–3 narratives about the creation of human beings to assert the importance of both man and woman to behavior during Christian liturgical worship in such manner that they respect their specific dignities. At the end, Paul seems to be more “phil­ogynist” than people use to appreciate.

Cossack campaigns of the late 70s of the 16th century to Moldavia: Interpretations and realities
Authors: Balukh Oleksii
Published: July 2022

The article analyzes military and political events that took place in the Moldavian State in the reign of Peter V the Lame (1574-1591, intermittently), interpretations and realities of the Cossack campaigns in Moldavia in 1577-1578.The end of the 16th century proved to be quite difficult and tense for the Moldavian lands. During the reign of the hospodar Peter V the Lame the territory of Moldavia became the scene of confrontation between the Ottoman Empire, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Ukrainian Cossacks, which led to fierce Cossack-Moldavian-Ottoman armed clashes. For Poland, the Moldavian lands were a kind of buffer zone against the Turks, and for the Ottoman Empire, they brought significant profits through the payment of various tributes and a lot of money for the selling of the hospodar throne. The Ukrainian Cossacks understood that if they drove the Ottomans out of Moldavia, it would ease Ukraine’s plight and change the military-political situation in the Carpathian-Dniester region. In spring 1577, Ivan Pidkova appeared as candidate for Moldavian throne. He was a Cossack, introducing himself as a brother of the hospodar John III the Terrible. At the end of November 1577 he conquered Jassy and started ruling as John IV. But it did not last long. On December 31, 1577 he leaved from Moldavia. I. Pidkova was arrested and executed on 16 June 1578 in Lviv.Taking advantages of his popularity, several Zaporozhian leaders pretended to be Ivan Pidkova’s brothers and invaded Moldavia. Oleksandr and Petro the Cossacks, for a short time even captured the voivodship throne. Since 1577 by 1578 the Cossacks carried out 8 campaigns, the main purpose of which there was the expulsion of Turks and Tatars from the territory of Moldavia, the conquest of Moldavian throne and creating a Cossack-Moldavian state. At the same time, successful military actions of the Ukrainian Cossacks gained considerable publicity in Central and Eastern Europe.Thus, the Cossack campaigns in Moldavia in 1577-1578 negatively affected the military and political situation in the country, led to frequent changes of hospodars and posed a real threat to Polish-Turkish peaceful relations.

From history to politics: Prince and king of rus Danylo Romanovych in narodnyk’s historical imagination
Authors: Khrystan Nazarii
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the study of the history of the image of Prince and King Danylo Romanovych in the Ukrainian cultural memory of the second half of the 19th century. The choice of the suggested segment of memory studies in Ukrainian history was chosen due to the ideological and, to some extent, the political context of the creation and subsequent construction of the image of Danylo Romanovych as «Prince Danylo Halytskyi» was not investigated in historiographical tradition. Also, some of the features of the creation of historical myths and pseudo-scientific names should be discovered around the ruler’s biography in the process of forming a national identity. The image of Danylo, deprived of a real background, has led to the formation of a limited perspective of historical research, which reduces the cultural and spatial influence of his figure to the Western Ukrainian region and does not fully reconstruct the period of transformation of the Galician-Volyn state into the kingdom of Rus.The author substantiates the main methodological principles of work, reviews the state of study of the scientific problem in the literature, and describes the sources used to realize the goal and objectives. Suggested studies about King Danylo Romanovych were hold due to the methodological constructs of the phenomenon of memoria in Western European researchers. An important role is devoted to understanding the basic terms of memory discourse, which became the core of the implementation of the ideas of the author in the work. Among them, we distinguish the concept of memory and its forms, the phenomenon of the nation, collective and cultural identity, social and individual consciousness.The author highlighted the peculiarities of the intellectual history of the representatives of the Ukrainian national movement – M. Dashkevych and M. Kostomarov, who borrowed to their historical narrative the Russophile «Danylo Halytskyi». This researchers tried to use this image to form their conception of Ukrainian history of Rus.
Prague everyday life of professor Vasyl Simovych (1923 – 1933)
Authors: Zubko Olha
Published: July 2022

Much has been written about the life and work of the «outstanding Bukovynian» Vasyl Ivanovych Simovych (1880 – 1944). However, the «other» life of Simovych, which took place outside the context of political, national, economic or cultural events, turned out to be out of the attention of Ukrainian researchers.Attention to the everyday emigrant life of Simovych is due to several reasons. First, the professor – the bearer of national identity and education, being in the new realities of life, was involved in the development and adaptation of new life rules, norms, standards, regulations of everyday life. Secondly, the everyday realities of the emigrant Ukrainian intelligentsia, to which Simovych belonged, took place against the general social background of Czechoslovakia; they were not separated from the worlds of other social strata and categories of both the Ukrainian emigrant and the Czechoslovak communities. At the same time, the Ukrainian intelligentsia not only «absorbed the realities of Czechoslovak everyday life», but also transferred to the Czechoslovak soil the previously formed «Ukrainian pre-liberation» views and norms of everyday life.Consideration of Professor Simovych’s everyday life in Prague is carried out with the help of diaries, remembrances, memoirs, a collection of literary anecdotes and archival documentation.The purpose of the publication is to critically consideration the everyday life of Professor Vasyl Simovych from the standpoint of historical and anthropological approach to the past, which allows not only a deeper understanding of his inner world and needs, but also the professor’s connections with the external social and cultural environment; this approach allows to distance from ideological assessments.Ukrainian linguist, philologist and cultural figure, full member of the Shevchenko Scientific Society since 1923. Vasyl Ivanovych Simovych since 1923 to 1933 was a professor at the Ukrainian Higher Pedagogical Institute named after M. Drahomanov in Prague, since 1925 – its vice-rector, and in 1930 – 1933 – its rector and head of the Department of Ukrainian language. The scientist took part in the work of the Spelling Commission, which worked in Kharkiv in May 1927 and was called upon to standardize the Ukrainian spelling, compiled in 1918 – 1921.Professor Simovych’s «Prague everyday life» included renting rooms for a private house in the «Prague suburb» of Řevnice, meals in public canteens in Prague and Poděbrady, witty work and extracurricular situations, leisure issues.

Authors: BURLAKA Serhiy , BORETSKA Tetana ,   Vinnytsia National Agrarian University
Published: July 2022

The article analyzes that the volume of electricity production in the power industry will increase from 185.2 billion kWh in 2005 to 420.1 billion kWh in 2030 (2.3 times). The dominant role of electricity production at thermal (40.8% in 2005, 39.8% in 2030) and nuclear (47.9 and 52.1%, respectively) power plants will be preserved. At the same time, the production of electricity at hydropower plants will increase from 12.1 billion kWh (6.5%) in 2005 to 14.1 billion kWh (3.4%) in 2030 and at the expense of non-traditional and renewable sources energy – from 0.01 billion kWh in 2005 to 2.1 billion kWh in 2030. The costs of electricity in the power grid for its transportation will be reduced from 14.7% in 2005 to at least 8.2% in 2030, and the specific cost of fuel for the production of electricity in the network – from 378.9 to 345.7 in. / kWh The share of electricity generated from imported fuel will decrease from 58.0% in 2005 to 8.2% in 2030 (7 times) (Fig. 4.5). To ensure these volumes of electricity production, the capacity of power plants has been set at UAH 52 million. kW in 2005 to 88.5 million kW in 2030, including thermal power plants from 30.1 to 42.2 million kW and nuclear power plants – from 13.8 to 29.5 million kW. The capacity of the PSP HPP will be increased from UAH 4.7 to UAH 10.5 million. kW, providing the country’s energy system with sufficient shunting capacity. The construction of main power lines, integrated management and emergency protection systems to increase the capacity of power plants, improve electricity supply in some regions, ensure reliable operation of the Unified Energy System and its integration into the European energy system with increasing electricity exports.

The purpose of this article is to study the features of tour rating as a type of activity in the tourism market in modern crisis conditions, to assess the main problem areas of tourism in a crisis; to systematize the world and domestic experience of supporting the sphere of tourism in the current conditions; assess possible scenarios for the recovery of tourism, taking into account the measures taken by the state. Such features of tour rating require from the top management of the company significant organizational skills, skills and efficient work process in the company. Thus, the activity of a tour operator is a natural combination of work cycles for specific tours or programs. The article identifies the importance of hospitality and tourism, which is a vital source of income from tourism and foreign direct investment, as well as jobs, especially for women and youth. The beginning of hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, the closure of the borders of external and internal in February 2022, not only the income of tourism companies to zero, but also led in some cases to significant losses. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) predicts an unprecedented crisis and a reduction in world tourism revenues to 45%, and if the conflict continues until September, the figure could reach 70%. As tourism is an important part of the economies of many countries, this will have a negative impact on the macroeconomic performance of countries with the most developed tourism. Many countries have taken decisive action to support the tourism sector, but this may not be enough to restore the tourism sector. One of the main goals is to support tourism companies and their employees.

Account balances are characterized by statements of management regarding the existence of intangible assets, ownership of rights to them, completeness of reflection and evaluation of relevant objects. Intangible assets transactions are disclosed through the statements of origin, completeness, accuracy of valuation and correspondence of accounts and closing of the period.
