An Evaluation of the Effects of Social Media on Client
Authors: Dimitrova Kristina Krasimirova , MacKay Steve
Published: July 2021

High level of informality in the relationship between brand managers and advertising account representatives has been described as factor affecting positive work dynamic and long – term success. Although means of informal communications such as emails are still used, social networks have been gaining increasing popularity in the business landscape. This paper examines the effects of social media on client – agency relationships with focus on Facebook as an example of personal network. The methodology combines primary and secondary research. The paper reviews literature on client – agency relationships and social media, which provide the foundation for primary research. The paper concludes that connecting on Facebook with a client or agency representative is a way of showing the relationship has moved beyond strictly a working one. However, connecting with a work contact on Facebook should not be done in order to make the work relationship stronger. The study offers recommendations for practitioners and direction for future research.

Authors: Stewart Margaret C. , Atilano Maria , Arnold Christa L.
Published: July 2021

In the dynamic world of social media strategy, developing an effective approach to customer relationship management (CRM) online is challenging. With best practices for CRM on social media still being uncovered, the value of social listening is becoming recognizable in contemporary social CRM. This chapter presents a case study that shares the actions, insights, and experiences of using social media for CRM at the academic library at a mid-size American university located in northeast Florida. Using specific examples of how social media is used to engage in social listening and to enhance CRM, the social listening practices and social media strategy of this library are highlighted in relation to how they influence and potentially improve CRM. By examining the practices of this individual institution's library, a better understanding of how academic libraries engage with customers using social media as a CRM platform comes to light. In addition, ideas for future research on the intersection of social listening, CRM, and social media strategy are discussed.
Organizing, Organizations, and the Role of Social Media Conversations
Authors: Dawson Veronica R.
Published: July 2021

This chapter traces the concept of organizational identity in organization theory and places it in the social media context. It proposes that organizational communication theories intellectually based in the “linguistic turn” (e.g., the Montreal School Approach to how communication constitutes organizations, communicative theory of the firm) are well positioned to illuminate the constitutive capabilities of identity-bound interaction on social media. It suggest that social media is more than another organizational tool for communication with stakeholders in that it affords interactants the opportunity to negotiate foundational organizational practices: organizational identity, boundaries, and membership, in public. In this negotiative process, the organizing role of the stakeholder is emphasized and legitimized by organizational participation and engagement on social media platforms. The Montreal School Approach's conversation–text dialectic and the communicative theory of the firm's conceptualization of organizations as social, are two useful concepts when making sense of organization–stakeholder interaction in the social media context.
Relation Between the Iteration of Planar Retractable Plate Structure and Plane Symmetry Group
Authors: Gezgin Aylin Gazi , Korkmaz Koray
Published: July 2021

One of the most important issues in the design processes of retractable plate structure is to determine the most suitable shape of the plates that form an enclosure without any gaps or overlaps in both closed and open configurations of the structure. One of the approaches to find the most suitable shape of the plates is based on mathematical tessellation technique without using any kinematical or numerical analyses. Due to the usage of RPS on many different areas in architecture, it is just as important to be able to iterate them regularly. This study both focuses on the iteration of planar RPSs that are formed based on 1-uniform tessellation and develops a relation between iteration capacity of RPS and plane symmetry groups. By the help of developed relationship, it tries to realize whether this structure can be derived from 1-uniform tessellation and which tessellation should be selected before obtaining it.
An Empirical Analysis of the Government Cloud Adoption in India
Authors: Kushagra Kshitij , Dhingra Sanjay
Published: July 2021

Cloud in the Indian government is still in the nascent stage; the rate of government cloud adoption (GCA) has not been that encouraging. The government organizations are complex, slow, rigidly structured, and research deficient. These organizations are the highest spenders on IT but are not placed at par when it comes to terms of cloud adoption. This empirical study has three objectives, which are identifying the key factors affecting GCA, finding out if these factors significantly affect the adoption, and examining the categorical moderating effect of organization types and adoption stages on GCA. This study posits government organization type (center, state, local bodies, and public sector organizations) and adoption stages (adopted, currently evaluating, and plans to adopt) as moderating variables. PLS-SEM has been deployed in this work for analysis and validation of the model. Nine factors found to have a significant positive influence on GCA are security, connectivity, migration, procurement, awareness, organizational administration, legal, trust, and control.
Shared Leadership
Authors: Wu Qiong , Cormican Kathryn , Sampaio Suzana
Published: July 2021

Shared leadership refers to an emergent, collective team process where leadership is distributed among and stems from team members, rather than a single designated leader. While shared leadership has gained considerable attention in the literature in recent years, it has received little attention in information systems (IS) project teams. In this study, a theoretical moderation framework in IS project teams that portrays the positive relationship between shared leadership and IS project success is presented. Moreover, project-centered moderators (i.e., project complexity and project task interdependence) and team-centered moderators (i.e., team autonomy and team supportive culture) have been proposed to influence the shared leadership-IS project success relationship. This study proposes that this relationship is stronger when projects are more complex and more interdependent, and when teams have a higher level of autonomy and supportive culture.

Authors: Xue Xiang Zhen , Wen Zhi Xun , Li Wen Xian
Published: July 2021

A method of predicting the fatigue life under multiaxis loads based on the Paris law and EIFS was proposed. And the fatigue life under different loading stress and stress ratio were investigated. The results show that when the loading stress increased from 450~800 MPa, the fatigue life decreased from 6762379 to 10056, as well as when the stress ratio increased from 0.1~1, the fatigue life increased from 6762379 to 14932368. It was validated by test eventually. And the fatigue life model presented here agrees well with test results. It is significant to the prediction of turbine of Ni-based single crystal super-alloy material with filming hole.

Authors: Wang Sheng Nan , Zhou Hong Ping , Yuan Hong Wei , Gan Hai Xiao , Wang Wen Long , Lan Lin Gang
Published: July 2021

Perforated structure is the mechanical weak link of polymer-bonded explosive (PBX). Improving its mechanical property may promote the reliability and effectiveness of weapon system. In this study, strengthening of the perforated PBX plate is conducted by employing surface coating. Digital image correlation (DIC) analysis results suggest that the regional applied epoxy coating layer is able to improve the mechanical properties of the plate. By confining the deformation and releasing the stress concentration around the perforation, the coating layer enhances the load carrying ability and energy dissipation capacity of the plate significantly. This investigation may provide a convenient and effective structure modification method for energetic material, and at the same time, lay foundation to the performance optimization of weapon system.

Authors: Tajalla Gusti Umindya Nur , Fakhruddin Mukhammad Arif , Asmoro Adinda , Basuki Arif , Wibowo Arie
Published: July 2021

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have become interesting metal nanoparticles for filler composite electroactive bone scaffold due to its favorable electrical conductivity, chemical stability, and antibacterial activity. The green synthesis method was selected to produce AgNPs because of using safer solvents, minimizing dangerous reagents, and providing benign response conditions suitable for medical applications. In this study, AgNPs were prepared by a green synthesis approach using Indonesian wild honey with a wider pH range (5, 8, 11). Based on visual observation, UV-Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) data, increasing pH leads to faster formation of AgNPs and smaller particle size of AgNPs. It was found that the smallest particle size of AgNPs (hydrodynamic diameter is 46.5 nm from DLS result and the actual particle size is 6.3 ± 1.5 nm from TEM result) was generated at pH 11.

Objectives: Endoscopic resection has become an established surgical option for most juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas (JNA). However, surgical management of JNA with intracranial extension remains challenging. This retrospective multicenter study reviews a series of patients with advanced stage JNA treated via endonasal/endoscopic approach. Methods: The experience of five academic tertiary or quaternary care ORL-HNS Departments were included. Medical records of all patients operated for JNA staged as Radkowski stage IIIA or IIIB were reviewed. Main outcome measures included intraoperative blood loss, length of hospital stay, complication rate, and rate of persistence or recurrence. Results: A total of 74 male patients with stages IIIA and IIIB were included. The mean age was 16.4 years and preoperative embolization was performed in 71 patients. The mean blood loss in 45 patients for whom the data was available was 1279.7 ml. The more anatomic subsites were involved, the higher the risk was of intraoperative bleeding. The mean follow-up for 54 out of 73 patients was 37.9 months. Patients with residual disease are significantly linked to involvement of combined (anterior-lateral and posterior) anatomic subsites and to a higher number of affected subsites. At last follow-up, all patients were asymptomatic and those with residual tissue displayed no imaging signs of growth. Conclusions: This retrospective multicenter study supports the notion that expanded endonasal endoscopic approaches for advance staged JNA are a feasible option associated with good long-term results.
Serum allergen-specific IgE, allergic rhinitis severity, and age
Authors: Ciprandi G. , Comite P. , Ferrero F. , Fontana V. , Bruzzone M. , Mussap M.
Published: July 2021

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is characterized by an IgE-mediated reaction. Aging usually induces a progressive decline of immune system function. There is common belief that both allergic symptoms severity and serum IgE production decline during aging. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the possible impact of age on: i) serum allergen-specific IgE levels in a large sample of subjects, and ii) AR symptom severity in a group of mono-allergic patients. Methods: Serum allergen-specific IgE to birch, Bet v 1, Parietaria, and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus were measured by immunofluorometric assay (IFMA) in a sample of 8098 subjects. AR symptom severity was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) in a sub-group of 531 mono-allergic patients. Results: The analysis of variance showed that IgE to Bet v 1, birch, and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus significantly decreased considering the age, whereas IgE to Parietaria did not significantly decline in respect of the age. Considering the global sample of mono-allergic patients, elderly subjects (over 65 years old) tended to have lower IgE levels, but had significantly lower VAS rating, and significantly less sensitizations than adult subjects (18-65 years old). In both adult and elderly patients VAS strongly correlated with IgE values. Conclusions: Allergen-specific IgE levels tend to reduce with aging, but with differences between types of allergy. The IgE decrease is usually associated with reduced AR symptom severity. Elderly AR patients seem to have a different phenotype/endotype in comparison with adult AR ones, characterized by milder symptoms, lower IgE production, and less sensitizations. However, a close positive relationship between IgE values and VAS scores is shared by both adult and elderly AR patients, confirming the close link between allergy and symptoms that persists also in the elderly.

Sztuka wobec antropocenu – wybrane strategie artystyczne

Published: July 2021

Art and the Anthropocene – Selected Artistic Strategies

The article presents an analysis of the artistic projects of three graphic artists who for nearly a decade have been trying to illustrate the causes and effects of the Anthropocene in various ways. Each of the authors in question uses a separate language of forms and different artistic tools, but their common goal is to establish, as Angelos Koutsourakis excellently put it, “dialectical representation of the Anthropocene” based on “self-reflexive representational tropes”. This self-reflexivity is not about constantly reminding that what is in front of the viewer’s eyes and what he/she experiences when entering the space of the installation is an artistic construction, but to sensitize him/her to the fact that what he/she looks at and participates in – both through form and the content – is a way of representing the causes that produce specific effects and the effects behind which specific processes lie. In the case of Sean Caulfield, it is about making the viewer aware of the cumulative effect of individual actions, which, when depicted in the form of a gradually destroyed installation, direct attention to individual acts causing global changes. On the other hand, Angela Snieder sensitizes the viewer to the influence that the historical conditions shaping the production processes influenced the way people perceive nature. The artist uses the visual attractiveness of the dioramas to blur the border between what is natural and what is industrial, ultimately confronting the viewer with the artificiality of the created reality. While Ellen Karin Maehlum raises the problem of connection between histories often treated separately: human and natural. The organisms shown by her are creations in which natural factors and those resulting from human influence on the environment combine with each other. Recognizing this fact allows us to consider natural and human history as interconnected vessels and realms that interact with each other. The article analyzes the strategies used by these artists to establish an engaging dialogue between them and the viewers, which may result in awakening the viewers’ awareness of the complex causes and effects of the Anthropocene.

Legal profession self-governments in the rulings of the Polish Supreme Court in disciplinary cases

The issue of the status of legal professional self-governments is not only of theoretical nature, but also is of significance for the practice of lawmaking in the area of regulations of the professions of public trust and disciplinary cases. This article examines three aspects. Firstly, it examines the possibility of deriving an obligation to establish self-governing bodies for certain legal professions directly from the Constitution. Secondly, it identifies the immanent competences of the professional self-government that the legislature cannot deprive it of. Thirdly, the article discusses the connections between the principle of autonomy of professional corporations and the restraint of the Polish Supreme Court in disciplinary proceedings.

The Victory Day Celebrations in Israel in the Light of Articles in Russian-Language Israeli Web Portals
Authors: Propola Krystian
Published: July 2021

The main aim of the article is to present a picture of contemporary celebrations of the Victory Day in Israel from the perspective of reports from Russian-language Israeli web portals. Although the tradition of celebrations dates back to 1950, the Victory Day did not become an official public holiday until 2017. Established on 9 May as the day of remembrance for the veterans of World War II, it resulted from the actions of the Russian-speaking population in Israel on two levels. The first was the political sphere and the activity of immigrant parties, especially Yisrael Beiteinu, in the work of the Knesset. The other was the social activity of local activists. However, both of these factors would not have been so effective if it were not for the reports of Russian-language Israeli media, in particular web portals. Although the arguments of the journalists associated with the portals were not always fully justified, their work contributed to the increased interest in the issue of veterans in Israel and Victory Day celebrations.

SOCIJALNA ANKSIOZNOST – TEORIJE I MERE
Authors: Ranđelović Kristina
Published: July 2021

Socijalna anksioznost predstavlja univerzalno ljudsko obeležje sa izrazitom adaptivnom vrednošću. U društvenim kontekstima u kojima je prisutna procena od strane drugih, poput intervjua za posao ili prezentacije na času, doživljaj anksioznosti može biti podsetnik da se postupa oprezno (npr., da se pažljivije razmisli pre nego što se nešto kaže, da se koncentrisano saslušaju pitanja koja se postavljaju itd.) ili pak može biti pokretač da osoba da sve od sebe. Osim toga, u situacijama u kojima se ostavljanje dobrog utiska čini malo verovatnim ishodom, i dalje je moguće izbeći socijalnu pretnju (kritiku, odbacivanje i sl.). To se ostvaruje na više načina – putem redukovanja (izbegavanja) interakcija sa drugima ili kroz intenzivnu pripremu za predstojeći nastup (interakciju). Stoga, socijalna anksioznost predstavlja osobinu ličnosti koja pomaže ljudima da spreče ili smanje „oštećivanje“ pozitivne slike o sebi, ali i značajnih međuljudskih relacija. Međutim, za neke ljude socijalna anksioznost je iscrpljujuće iskustvo koje narušava odnose sa drugima, remeti školsko i poslovno funkcionisanje i negativno utiče na mentalno zdravlje čoveka. U takvim slučajevima, socijalna anksioznost predstavlja disfunkcionalno obeležje ličnosti, pa čak i socijalno-anksiozni poremećaj, koji značajno umanjuje kvalitet života osobe.

The goal is to consider the problems of institutional and organizational-economic mechanisms for the effective use of lands near the village on the basis of assessment of the existing load of livestock in personal subsidiary plots and the system of its maintenance in various natural and agriultural zones. Objectives – to analyze pasture use in rural settlements and to present the standards for maximum permissible load of grazing of farm animals on the area of pastures in different climatic zones. Results – regions with a shortage of near-aul lands for livestock, high concentration of the rural population, a discrepancy between the livestock number and the level of pasture provi-sion were identified. Areas with a low load of animals on pastures are identified. The ratio of the standards of demand and supply in forage for natural and agricultural zones and animal species is shown. The formula for determining the optimal number of livestock that can be grazed around a settlement, taking into account the feed stock and pasture capacity, is presented. Schemes of pasture rotation are presented and recommendations for their use are developed to preserve the productivity of natural forage areas of zonal types of near-aul pasture lands and to radically improve on the basis of natural economic zoning of the republic. The analysis of the degree of watering of near-village pastures by region is given. Costs per head unit for transition and long-term periods have been calculated. Conclusions – costs for the near future are based on the existing cost structure by item with some amendments. Purchased feed for all types of animals prevails in the cost structure. The degree of maintenance of rangelands in non-State agricultural enterprises within the boundaries of land use, where there is a reserve potential of unused forage lands, has been determined.

Currently, the system of cooperative and integration ties between agricultural producers creates conditions for the appropriate agro-industrial production, expanding the sphere of competition, contributes to the sustainable and balanced development of industries and ensuring food security. The purpose of this study is to study the current state of agricultural cooperation, to identify its problems and prospects. Objectives – to achieve this goal, scientific views have been generalized, topical issues of functioning of small businesses have been identified, recommendations to improve their efficiency have been developed. Results – based on data showing a slight decrease in the share of agriculture in GDP compared to the 1990s, an increase in the number of privately owned enterprises over the past 20 years, a reduction of public enterprises, the need to enlarge agricultural entities and unite small farms into agricultural cooperatives for joint cooperation in production, processing and marketing activities is shown. The analysis also indicates that access to financial resources for production and processing of agricultural products is limited from the WTO permissible level. The prevailing forms of cooperation in agricultural sector and factors hindering its development are considered. The positive and negative directions of cooperation of small business entities at present stage have been identified. The foreign experience of creating agricultural cooperatives is presented on the example of France, Germany, and the USA. Conclusions: on the basis of the study, it was proposed to make changes in the activities of agr icultural cooperatives: to improve the system of their financial and loan support, to improve information and consulting services and scientific support, to strengthen the system of training personnel for agricultural cooperation.

Aquilombar Democracy Fugitive Routes from the End of the World
Authors: Streva Juliana
Published: July 2021

This working paper approaches the current global crisis as a potential territoriality for radicalizing concepts and for learning with ongoing fugitive routes. Through nonlinear paths, I aim to examine the contours of the quilombo not only as a slavery-past event but as a continuum of anti-colonial struggle that invokes other forms of re-existence and convivial coexistence in Brazil. In doing that, this research draws attention to an Améfrica Ladina epistemology and a decolonial methodology embodied by living archives and oral histories.

Bone Marrow Aspiration (BMA) is a procedure that is often used to evaluate patients with haematological disorders including haematological malignancies (HMs) which account for about 6.5% of all cancers worldwide. There is paucity of data on the prevalence and pattern of HMs from BMA cytology in Nigeria. We carried out a retrospective review to determine the prevalence and distribution of HMs among adult patients who had BMA cytology at Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH) from June 2012 to July 2019. A total of 158 BMA reports extracted from the marrow and clinic medical records were reviewed. Out of 158 adult BMA cytology reports, HMs accounted for 78(49.4%) of all haematological disorders. There was no significant gender difference. The Male 38(48.7%) to Female 40(51.3%) ratio (M:F) was 1:1.1. Their ages ranged from 16 to 85 years with the median age of 54.0 years. Out of the 78 HMs, Lymphoid neoplasms were the most prevalent 47(60.3%), the leukaemias were higher 53/78(67.9%) compared to the non-leukaemic neoplasms. Of the 53 leukaemias, those of chronic lymphoid types were more 24/53(45.3%), followed by the chronic myeloid 15/53(28.3%). Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) was the predominant leukaemia 24/53(45.3%) as well as the most prevalent HM 24/78(30.8%), followed by chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) 19.2%(15/78). Others were myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) 11.5%(9/78), acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) 10.3% (8/78), multiple myeloma (MM) 10.3%(8/78), acute myeloblastic leukaemia (AML) 7.7%(6/78), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) 6.4%(5/78), Small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) 2.6%(2/78) and Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) 1.3%(1/78). In conclusion, we established high prevalence of HMs among patients who had BMA cytology evaluation at BSUTH with the preponderance of lymphoid malignancies. We advocate for inclusion of HMs in the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) for full implementation and to prioritise provision of modern diagnostic equipment and treatment options for quality and optimal management of leukaemias in the center.

Published: July 2021

In recent years, nutritionists and microbiologists have paid more attention to the utilization of dietary supplementation produced by natural food resources, to improve the immune system function of the human and animals. People are more willing to obtain nature supplementations due to the growing awareness of food safety, and the side effects of excessive consumption of manufactured supplements. Fermented food are introduced to provide beneficial effects on health because of the characteristics of LAB, which are temporary integrative microorganisms in the intestinal microbiota. And they could not only balance the micro-ecosystem of the host by secreting microbiome, but also enhance the beneficial properties of autonomous microorganisms. This review aims to discuss the of LAB yogurt to the gut microbiota based on recent research.
