Authors: Ahmed Tanveer , Butt Babar Zaheer , Majeed Waleed Khalid
Published: October 2019

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is now an integral part of business model of most of the modern organizations. Companies are making efforts to play their role in improving society in one or other ways. The scope of efforts ranges from donating money to nonprofit organizations to employing environmental-friendly policies in their workplace. As per the general global perception the corporate sector of Pakistan has been lacking behind in respect of CSR implementation. It has largely concentrated on profit minting rather than taking care of the welfare aspects of employees and other stakeholders. This attitude has affected the business and as a result industry has failed to keep pace with the modern industry. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of CSR on firmâ€™s financial performance. The research therefore predicates that increase in CSR activities of poor CSR firms shall have a negative effect on the companyâ€™s financial performance. Whereas, Middle CSR firms having a positive relationship with Excess Value (EV) will enhance the project performance, financial stature and future prospect of the firms. However, the firms with the best CSR will always have a positive relationship with the firmâ€™s financial performance but its impact will not be observed significantly on the firmâ€™s financial condition.

Authors: Pathmanathan Prassanna , Dodamgoda Nadeeja
Published: October 2019

Unemployment is a major problem Sri Lanka is facing over the years. Although 22,000 graduates pass out every year from state and private universities, there is always a gap between what employers expect in a graduate and what the graduate could offer to the employer. This research focus on the employability of the IT graduates passing out from state and private universities, with specific reference to their personal characteristics and personal branding. Personal branding is a major concern with respect to the recruitment of any graduate. IT graduates especially are expected to have certain personal characteristics which determine their personal branding and influence their employability. The main objective of this research is to determine the impact of the personal characteristics such as personal identity, personal image and personal positioning on employability of IT graduates and to analyze their mediation effect with the personal branding. Further, an attempt is made to determine whether the personal branding and employability of IT graduates significantly differ based on the university type (state and private). The research mainly focuses on quantitative analysis by piloting a questionnaire to 300 IT graduates following a hypothetical deductive method. The findings through the quantitative data are followed up based on qualitative data collected through semi-structured interviews with HR and Recruitment Managers of IT companies. Findings of this research revealed that personal characteristics have a strong impact on the employability of an IT graduate and this relationship is mediated by personal branding. Further, IT graduates passing out from private sector universities have stronger personal characteristics and personal branding compared to the graduates passing out from state sector universities. Thus, they are more employable compared to IT graduates passing out from state sector universities in Sri Lanka.
Combined neural networks and predictive control for heat exchanger networks operation
Authors: Carvalho Carolina , Carvalho Esdras , Ravagnani Mauro
Published: October 2019

Optimal operation of integrated heat exchangers is a challenging task in the field of process control due to system nonlinearities, disturbances and adequate model identification. This paper describes the design of an advanced neural network predictive control (NNPC) applied to a heat exchanger network. A case study with two hot and one cold streams, through three counter-current heat exchangers is used to test the proposed strategy. A lumped dynamic model is built based on the concept of multi-cells topology (mixed tanks), where the hot and cold cells are connected by a wall element throughout the heat exchanger length. Each cell is assumed perfectly mixed and all physical properties are constant. A distributed behavior is achieved by increasing the number of cells. The main assumptions of the lumped model are constant temperature in each cell, heat exchanger volume and area equally distributed between cells and negligible heat loss to the environment. The predictive controller relies on a neural-based model of the plant that is used to identify the system and to predict future performance over a predefined horizon. Results were compared to a traditional controller, and the control performance was improved when compared to the Ziegler-Nichols tuning method.

Cases of motor vehicle theft are still common in the environment around us. The main cause is the knowledge of criminals, the dominant motorcycle security system is the same in every other motorcycle unit that uses a steering handlebar safety lock. Therefore the need for additional safety systems is felt very necessary to avoid motor vehicle theft. From the four tests conducted, the level of accuracy of location scanning by GPS experienced a difference in each test, this is due to the strength of the network received by the GPS device between the two devices, both from the researchers' GPS device and the GPS device attached to the vehicle unit, decreasing the relative accuracy between 6.8% and 17% in testing. The speed of response of the safety device is very dependent on the signal strength and the place where the vehicle or vehicle owner is owned by each provider, from the test delay calls are 3,2 seconds results,it was concluded that TELKOMSEL providers who have a more stable network.This is evidenced by the difference in the time of receipt of the response of vehicle safety devices when testing telephone delay calls and GPS testing. The advantage of this tool is that the assembling of components is quite simple compared to other electrical safety devices so that it is easy to peruse

A Perishable Inventory System with Postponed Demands and Finite
Authors: Jayaraman R
Published: October 2019

In this article, we consider a continuous review perishable inventory system with a finite number of homogeneous sources generating demands. The demand time points form quasi random process and demand is for single item. The maximum storage capacity is assumed to be The life time of each item is assumed to have exponential distribution. The order policy is policy, that is, whenever the inventory level drops to a prefixed level an order for items is placed. The ordered items are received after a random time which is distributed as exponential. We assume that the demands that occur during the stock out periods either enter a pool or leave the system which is according to a Bernoulli trial. The demands in the pool are selected one by one, while the stock is above the level with interval time between any two successive selections is distributed as exponential. The joint probability distribution of the number of customers in the pool and the inventory level is obtained in the steady state case. Various system performance measures are derived to compute the total expected cost per unit time in the steady state. The optimal cost function and the optimal are studied numerically.

THE MAYER VIETORIS SEQUENCE CALCULATING DE RHAM COHOMOLOGY
Authors: Baushi Arben
Published: October 2019

De Rham cohomology it is very obvious that it relies heavily on both topology as well as analysis. We can say it creates a natural bridge between the two. To understand and be able to explain what exactly de Rham cohomology is to the world of mathematics we need to know de Rham groups. This is the reasons to calculate the de Rham cohomology of a manifold. This is usually quite difficult to do directly. We work with manifold. Manifold is a generalization of curves and surfaces to arbitrary dimension. A topological space M is called a manifold of dimension k if : Â· M is a topological Hausdorff space . Â· M has a countable topological base. Â· For all mâˆˆM there is an open neighborhood UâŠ‚M such that U is homeomorphic to an open subset V of â„k. There are many different kinds of manifolds like topological manifolds, â„‚k - manifolds, analytic manifolds, and complex manifolds, we concerned in smooth manifolds. A smooth manifold can described as a topological space that is locally like the Euclidian space of a dimension known. An important definion is homeomorphism. Let X, Y be topological spaces, and let f: XâŸ¶Y e a bijection. If both f and the inverse function fâˆ’1: XâŸ¶Y are continuous, then f is called a homeomorphism We introduce one of the useful tools for this calculating, the Mayer â€“ Vietoris sequence. Another tool is the homotopy axiom. In this material I try to explain the Mayer â€“ Vietoris sequence and give same examples. A short exact sequence of cochain complexes gives rise to a long exact sequence in cohomology, called the Mayer - Vietories sequence. Cohomology of the circle (S^1), cohomology of the spheres (S^2). Homeomorphism between vector spaces and an open cover of a manifold. we define de Rham cohomology and compute a few examples.

Published: October 2019

Considering authorship attribution as a classification problem we attempt to estimate the probability to find the right author for each text under study. In this paper using R we first improve the simple model for six Albanian texts, (I) increasing number of texts and number of independent variables and then compare the results taken with them of the multinomial logistic regression (II). The model was applied on a set of one hundred texts of ten different authors. For all the authors under study the average correct predicted probability is 0.918. Analyzing data from different Albanian texts, results that about 40% of their letters consist of vowels. As conclusion comparing results taken with them of (II) multinomial logistic regression model for Albanian texts has more advantages than logistic regression model.
Urban space-making through protests
Authors: Tanulku Basak
Published: October 2019

In the last decade, the world has seen a surge of protests and social movements. Also in Turkey, a group of protesters occupied the Gezi Park in 2013 against the government’s plans to transform it into a commercial complex. This paper explores the protests to advance knowledge on the relationship between urban space and protests. The paper argues that first; Gezi Park reflects variegated ‘rights of, in and to the city’ created through ‘commoning’. Second, the Park becomes a ‘socio-spatial-virtual bricolage,’ which contains past and present, traditional and contemporary and global and local subjects, elements and activities and different realms such as the physical and the virtual. Finally, the paper argues that the Park reflects a new political urban space and subjectivity.

There were two tests, namely pre-test, and post-test, applied in the form of multiple-choice questions. The population of this study was all of the second-grade students. Then, two classes were randomly chosen as the samples: experimental class and controlled class. The findings indicated that there was an improvement in students’ achievement in the experimental class. The study applied gain-score calculation in which the mean for the experimental class was 0.57, while the controlled class was 0.22. The researchers also used the t-test to prove the hypotheses. The result showed that t-scoret-table or 34.761.68, which means the H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected. To conclude, the students who were taught reading comprehension by using GIT achieved significant improvement. Besides, after the determination of the mean of the post-test and pre-test scores which were divided into four aspects of reading comprehension: main idea (MI), vocabulary (V), detailed information (DI), and reference (R), the result showed that MI=25.91, V=28.64, DI=25.00, and R=31.59. Therefore, it was found that the most difficult aspect of reading comprehension was detailed information (DI. Meanwhile, time management becomes a paramount concern in implementing the GIT due to its nature of complexity.

Systemic Crisis in the US-Turkish Relations Under the Presidency of D. Trump
Authors: Davydov A. A.
Published: October 2019

Relations between the United States and Turkey, the two military-political allies of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), are experiencing an unprecedented crisis in their history. Its depth and scale is so significant that it affects the long-term foreign policy strategies of both countries, as well as the process of building a unified security architecture. In the study the author raises a question to what extent the current crisis in the US-Turkish relations is systemic? How high is the probability that it will turn out to be a long-term one? To answer this question, the study is divided into two parts.

The first part analyzes the evolution of American approaches to Turkey in US foreign policy, the implementation of these approaches since the end of World War II till nowadays. On the basis of a system-historical approach, the author analyses the evolution the Turkey’s strategic positioning in the US foreign policy strategy and the transformation of political, economic and military relations between the two states since the moment of their institutionalization. The author distinguishes two stages of this evolution. During the first one, for the United States Turkey was one of the key countries that was blocking the Soviet expansion southward towards the Persian Gulf and the Suez Canal. The author notes that by the end of the bipolar confrontation, Turkey was de-facto losing its functional purpose in the logic of the Cold War. During the second stage, the US regards Turkey as one of the key NATO allies, whose geo-strategic location can be used for pursuing American national interests in the nearby regions. Author posits, that bilateral relations are gradually moving away from such a model of interaction. This happens because of the Turkish desire to diversify foreign relations and accumulation of contradictions between Washington and Ankara due to the divergence of their foreign policy strategies.

The second part analyzes the contradictions in the American-Turkish relations under the presidency of Donald Trump on political, military and economic issues. The author comes to the conclusion that the crisis is indeed a systemic one. Firstly, the existing problems began to affect significant elements of the military-technical infrastructure of their relations. Secondly, it is difficult to resolve these problems without reformatting the interaction as between equivalent actors of international relations. Thirdly, the expert and political communities have not presented any kind of a new approach to rethink the allied status of American-Turkish relations.
The Role of Iran’s «Soft Power» in Confronting Iranophobia
Authors: Mirmohammad Sadeghi S. M. , Hajimineh R.
Published: October 2019

«Soft power» is a set of activities designed by a government or regional and international actors aimed to influence external public opinion, promote external image or attract support for a particular policy, which is implemented through all the available tools and new technologies. The non-governmental actors also play an effective and important role in this diplomacy. Considering the public diplomacy and soft power of the Islamic Republic of Iran as a deliberate and conscious approach can be of great importance in the country's grand strategies that will strengthen national interests in the domestic sphere and influence them at regional and global levels. The article analyzes the role of Iran’s soft power in confronting Iranophobia. The study is aimed at presenting a theoretical definition of public diplomacy and soft power in foreign policy and international system, and then examines its role in the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran with an emphasis on confronting Iranophobia.

The authors answer the research question: “What is the role of soft power in the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in confronting Iranophobia?” The research method is descriptive-analytical based on historical evidence, documents, and analytical issues of theorists, authors, and media being expressed in the theoretical framework of soft power. The paper is based on a synthesis of Stephen Walt’s “balance of threat” theory with Alexander Wendt’s social constructivism to explain the Iranian “threat” in American foreign policy.

The findings of this research show that without the use of force and disturbing the balance in the international relations, using a variety of tools and instruments the Iranian public diplomacy and soft power might be effective to reduce the global and regional atmosphere of Iranophobia and undermine anti-Iranian solidarity.
The Illusion of Sovereignty or State-Making Devices of The Globalizing World
Authors: Subochev V. V.
Published: October 2019

Review of a monograph: Guy Fiti Sinclair. To Reform the World: International Organizations and the Making of Modern States. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2017. 368 p.

The book by Guy Fiti Sinclair is a highly professional and richly contextualized scientific research which analyzes the processes of expansion of powers exercised by international organizations under international law. Particular attention is devoted to the reasons which made this expansion possible and legitimate.

Sinclair views international organizations as the creatures, instruments and even originators of international law which incarnated and epitomized its transformative potential for the purposes of their expansion and development. Heterogeneous interests and ambiguous functions of the International Labour Organization, the UN, and the World Bank are inspected through the prism of their abilities to intervene in the name of international law and, at the same time, to subject themselves to its improving and modernizing influence.

The reviewed work comprehensively explores the state-making activities of full-fledged democracies and the ambivalent consequences of such modernization which usually deploys under the guise of transformative liberal ideology.
