An artistic research proposal from an A/R/TOGRAPHY perspective: a study of Strauss’s oboe concerto
Authors: López-Peláez-Casellas Maria Paz , García-Herrera Cecilio
Published: July 2019

This article is a contribution to the debate which has been taking place for some years now around the use of artistic research methodologies in conservatories. To be precise, it supports a methodology centred on artistic activity, which is not conditioned by the dictates of science and the need to obtain results. Within this current of thought, we have developed a new methodology of artistic research, a/r/tography, which is adapted from Fine Arts, and is aimed at teachers in music conservatories and makes it possible to simultaneously research, perform and teach a piece of music.
Main and Interaction Effects of ‘Power Distance’ and ‘Uncertainty Avoidance’ on Innovation in Small and Medium Enterprises in Egypt
Authors: A. El Badawy Tarek , M. Marwan Rania , M. Magdy Mariam
Published: July 2019

The main objective of this study was to investigate the direct and interaction effects of two of Hofstede’s cultural metrics, namely power distance and uncertainty avoidance, on organizational innovation in small and medium enterprises in Egypt. A structured questionnaire adapted from a previous study was distributed amongst employees from different managerial levels. 326 completed questionnaires were collected. Results suggested that the national culture influences the level of strategic innovation in small and medium enterprises operating in Egypt. Power distance enhances strategic innovation; however, uncertainty avoidance inhibits it. Studies on Egyptian enterprises, and Egyptian small and medium enterprises are fundamentally underrepresented in previous literature.
Aplicação de Números Aleatórios Artificiais e Método Monte Carlo na Análise de Confiabilidade de Redes Geodésicas

Published: July 2019

A Geodetic Network is a network of point interconnected by direction and/or distance measurements or by using Global Navigation Satellite System receivers. Such networks are essential for the most geodetic engineering projects, such as monitoring the position and deformation of man-made structures (bridges, dams, power plants, tunnels, ports, etc.), to monitor the crustal deformation of the Earth, to implement an urban and rural cadastre, and others. One of the most important criteria that a geodetic network must meet is reliability. In this context, the reliability concerns the network's ability to detect and identify outliers. Here, we apply the Monte Carlo Method (MMC) to investigate the reliability of a geodetic network. The key of the MMC is the random number generator. Results for simulated closed levelling network reveal that identifying an outlier is more difficult than detecting it. In general, considering the simulated network, the relationship between the outlier detection and identification depends on the level of significance of the outlier statistical test.

Inteligencia emocional asociada a salud mental en estudiantes universitarios de la carrera de Psicología
Authors: Duarte Ortíz Fátima
Published: July 2019

En las últimas décadas ha aumentado el interés por el estudio de la inteligencia emocional y su relación con la salud mental, así el objetivo de esta investigación es presentar los resultados de esta asociación, en estudiantes de primer ingreso de la carrera de Psicología en la UNAH-VS. Se empleó una metodología de tipo cuantitativo, transversal, con un alcance descriptivo correlacional y diseño no experimental. Se recolectó la información con dos pruebas: Trait Meta Mood Scale TMMS-24 y la escala de Salud General de Goldberg GHQ-28, a 129 estudiantes que forman el universo del primer ingreso en el III período académico 2014. Los resultados indican que niveles altos de inteligencia emocional están significativamente relacionados con una buena salud mental mientras que niveles bajos de esta se asocian a una pobre salud mental e incluso se entienden como indicadores de precariedad emocional, considerada como caso psicológico. Futuros estudios deberían profundizar en el conocimiento de la relación entre inteligencia emocional y otras variables psicológicas implicadas en la salud mental (rasgos de personalidad).

Viabilidad de semillas de guayacán (Guaiacum sanctum L., Zygophyllaceae) posterior a dos tratamientos pregerminativos
Authors: Flores Barahona Allison , Ferrufino Acosta Lilian , López Castro Virna
Published: July 2019

Guaiacum sanctum L. es una especie arbórea de crecimiento lento que pertenece a la familia Zygophyllaceae, habita en el bosque seco subtropical y tropical. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la viabilidad de semillas de guayacán, posterior a dos tratamientos pregerminativos. La colecta de semillas se realizó en las cercanías del estadio Carlos Miranda, en el departamento de Comayagua, Honduras. Una vez colectadas las semillas se empleó corte longitudinal en la testa y lixiviación, como tratamientos pregerminativos y posteriormente se aplicó pruebas de flotabilidad y de tetrazolio para el análisis de viabilidad. Se obtuvo como resultados un mayor número de semillas viables, registrando los porcentajes de viabilidad más altos, en aquellas a las que no se les aplicó tratamiento pregerminativo. En cuanto a las pruebas de viabilidad se demostró que la más efectiva es la de tetrazolio, ya que permite observar de forma directa el embrión y el estado de los tejidos embrionarios. El análisis de viabilidad contribuyó a conocer la posible influencia de dichos tratamientos en la viabilidad de las semillas. Estos son factores importantes ya que se encuentran relacionados con la germinación de esta especie vegetal de especial interés económico y forestal.
Accountants’ Perception on the Factors Affecting the Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards in Yemen
Authors: Al-Absy Mujeeb Saif Mohsen , Ismail Ku Nor Izah Ku
Published: July 2019

This study examines accountants’ perception whether or not the following factors ــgovernment policy, capital market, economic growth, external environment/international exposure, professional bodies, education level of accountants, company size, initial cost of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) adoption and culture affect the adoption of IFRSs in Yemen. It also examines the differences of opinion among academicians and practitioners with regard to these factors. A questionnaire survey involving 41 Yemeni accounting postgraduate students in Malaysia’s public Universities was conducted. The results indicate that the majority of respondents believe that the lack of government policy, absence of capital market, lack of economic growth, lack of professional bodies, weakness in the education level of accountants, the small size of the companies and initial cost of IFRSs adoption affect the adoption of IFRSs in Yemen. The study also shows that the international environment has a weak effect on IFRSs adoption while the Yemeni culture does not affect IFRSs adoption. The finding may help both policy-makers and the Yemeni Association of Certified Public Accountants (YACPA) to consider these factors and make more precise decisions regarding IFRSs adoption.
The New Zealand Strong Motion Database

Published: July 2019

This article summarises work that has been undertaken to compile the New Zealand Strong Motion Database, which is intended to be a significant resource for both researchers and practitioners. The database contains 276 New Zealand earthquakes that were recorded by strong motion instruments from GeoNet and earlier network operators. The events have moment magnitudes ranging from 3.5 to 7.8. A total of 134 of these events (49%) have been classified as occurring in the overlying crust, with 33 events (12%) located on the Fiordland subduction interface and 7 on the Hikurangi subduction interface (3%). 8 events (3%) are deemed to have occurred within the subducting Australian Plate at the Fiordland subduction zone, and 94 events (34%) within the subducting Pacific Plate on the Hikurangi subduction zone. There are a total of 4,148 uniformly-processed recordings associated with these earthquakes, from which acceleration, velocity and displacement time-series, Fourier amplitude spectra of acceleration, and acceleration response spectra have been computed. 598 recordings from the New Zealand database are identified as being suitable for future use in time-domain analyses of structural response. All data are publicly available at http://info.geonet.org.nz/x/TQAdAQ.

The magnitude Mw7.8 ‘Kaikōura’ earthquake occurred shortly after midnight on 14 November 2016. This paper presents an overview of the geotechnical impacts on the South Island of New Zealand recorded during the post-event reconnaissance.

Despite the large moment magnitude of this earthquake, relatively little liquefaction was observed across the South Island, with the only severe manifestation occurring in the young, loose alluvial deposits in the floodplains of the Wairau and Opaoa Rivers near Blenheim. The spatial extent and volume of liquefaction ejecta across South Island is significantly less than that observed in Christchurch during the 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake Sequence, and the impact of its occurrence to the built environment was largely negligible on account of the severe manifestations occurring away from the areas of major development.

Large localised lateral displacements occurred in Kaikōura around Lyell Creek. The soft fine-grained material in the upper portions of the soil profile and the free face at the creek channel were responsible for the accumulation of displacement during the ground shaking. These movements had severely impacted the houses which were built close (within the zone of large displacement) to Lyell Creek. The wastewater treatment facility located just north of Kaikōura also suffered tears in the liners of the oxidation ponds and distortions in the aeration system due to ground movements.

Ground failures on the Amuri and Emu Plains (within the Waiau Valley) were small considering the large peak accelerations (in excess of 1g) experienced in the area. Minor to moderate lateral spreading and ejecta was observed at some bridge crossings in the area. However, most of the structural damage sustained by the bridges was a result of the inertial loading, and the damage resulting from geotechnical issues were secondary.

At 00:02 on 14th November 2016, a Mw 7.8 earthquake occurred in and offshore of the northeast of the South Island of New Zealand. Fault rupture, ground shaking, liquefaction, and co-seismic landslides caused severe damage to distributed infrastructure, and particularly transportation networks; large segments of the country’s main highway, State Highway 1 (SH1), and the Main North Line (MNL) railway line, were damaged between Picton and Christchurch. The damage caused direct local impacts, including isolation of communities, and wider regional impacts, including disruption of supply chains. Adaptive measures have ensured immediate continued regional transport of goods and people. Air and sea transport increased quickly, both for emergency response and to ensure routine transport of goods. Road diversions have also allowed critical connections to remain operable. This effective response to regional transport challenges allowed Civil Defence Emergency Management to quickly prioritise access to isolated settlements, all of which had road access 23 days after the earthquake. However, 100 days after the earthquake, critical segments of SH1 and the MNL remain closed and their ongoing repairs are a serious national strategic, as well as local, concern.

This paper presents the impacts on South Island transport infrastructure, and subsequent management through the emergency response and early recovery phases, during the first 100 days following the initial earthquake, and highlights lessons for transportation system resilience.
Reconnissance report on geotechnical and geological aspects of the 14-16 April 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes, Japan

Published: July 2019

On 16 April 2016, a moment magnitude (Mw) 7.0 earthquake struck the Island of Kyushu, Japan. Two major foreshocks (Mw 6.2 and Mw 6.0) contributed to devastation in Kumamoto City, Mashiki Town and in the mountainous areas of the Mount Aso volcanic caldera. This report summarises geotechnical and geological aspects of the earthquakes that were observed during a field investigation conducted by the NZSEE Team in collaboration with Japanese engineers and researchers. Many houses and other buildings, roads, riverbanks, and an earth dam, either on or adjacent to the surface fault rupture or projected fault trace, were severely damaged as a result of both the strong ground shaking and permanent ground displacement. In the Mount Aso volcanic caldera, traces of medium to large scale landslides and rock falls were frequently observed. A number of landslides impacted homes and infrastructure, and were reported to have killed at least 10 people out of the 69 confirmed deaths associated with the earthquake. In a few suburbs of Kumamoto City and in Mashiki Town, localised liquefaction took place, causing lateral spreading, differential settlements of the ground and riverbanks, sinking and tilting of buildings, foundation failures, cracks on roads, and disruption of water and sewage pipe networks. The overall effects from liquefaction related hazards appeared relatively minor compared to the damage caused by shaking, landslides and surface fault rupture. Based on the field survey, key findings are highlighted and recommendations to NZ engineering practice are made in the report.
Assessment of ultimate drift capacity of RC shear walls by key design parameters
Authors: Netrattana Chanipa , Taleb Rafik , Watanabe Hidekazu , Kono Susumu , Mukai David , Tani Masanori , Sakashita Masanobu
Published: July 2019

The latest version of the Standard for Structural Calculation of Reinforced Concrete Structures, published by the Architectural Institute of Japan in 2010 [1], allows the design of shear walls with rectangular cross sections in addition to shear walls with boundary columns at the end regions (referred to here as “barbell shape”). In recent earthquakes, several reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls were damaged by flexural failures through concrete compression crushing accompanied with buckling of longitudinal reinforcement in the boundary areas. Damage levels have clearly been shown to be related to drift in structures; this is why drift limits are in place for structural design criteria. A crucial step in designing a structure to accommodate these drift limits is to model the ultimate drift capacity. Thus, in order to reduce damage from this failure mode, the ultimate drift capacity of RC shear walls needs to be estimated accurately. In this paper, a parametric study of the seismic behaviour of RC shear walls was conducted using a fibre-based model to investigate the influence of basic design parameters including concrete strength, volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement in the confined area, axial load ratio and boundary column dimensions. This study focused on ultimate drift capacity for both shear walls with rectangular sections and shear walls with boundary columns. The fibre-based model was calibrated with experimental results of twenty eight tests on shear walls with confinement in the boundary regions. It was found that ultimate drift capacity is most sensitive to axial load ratio; increase of axial load deteriorated ultimate drift capacity dramatically. Two other secondary factors were: increased concrete strength slightly reduced ultimate drift capacity while increased shear reinforcement ratio and boundary column width improved ultimate drift capacity.

This paper presents an experimental study conducted to investigate the seismic performance and out-of-plane response of three rectangular doubly reinforced ductile wall specimens subjected to an in-plane cyclic quasi-static loading. The specimens were half-scale, representing the first story of four story prototype walls designed according to NZS3101:2006. The experimental program including details of the specimens, material properties, test setup, loading protocol and instrumentation is described. Also, the test observations, with focus on the significant stages of wall response as well as the failure patterns of the specimens, are reported considering the correlation between seismic damage and lateral drift. Two of the specimens failed at 2% drift, and their failure modes comprised of bar fracture, bar buckling, concrete crushing and out-of-plane instability. The failure pattern of the third specimen was pure out-of-plane instability which proved to have the potential to cause sudden collapse of slender ductile walls that are designed to resist other failure modes. In light of the test results, the efficacy of wall design provisions in the New Zealand concrete design standard (NZS3101) associated with the observed failure modes is scrutinised.

In order to use a damaged building continuously after earthquake, owners and/or stakeholders need to understand residual seismic capacity of the building. In Japan, a method to evaluate residual seismic capacity for damaged buildings had been developed. In order to evaluate residual seismic capacity of damaged building, the damage level of structural elements should be evaluated properly. This paper presents the results of damage analysis based on experimental data obtained from a full-scale static loading test [1] on a five-story reinforced concrete building tested at Building Research Institute. The damage rating for the specimens evaluated by the residual seismic capacity concept [3] was ”Moderate” or ”Heavy” at 0.5% and 1% building drift angle despite the structure maintaining horizontal load carrying capacity. This implies that the applied method gives a conservative result for ductile buildings, such as relatively new moment resisting frames designed after 1981. In order to apply the method used in this paper to new buildings, the damage evaluation method for structural elements should be advanced more in the future.

OBJECTIVE: Stress is common among nursing students during their first years of study. Nursing students often experience high levels of stress because they frequently encounter various challenges that can negatively affect their academic performance and general health. However, common sources of stress among undergraduate nursing students have not been well identified. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the common sources of stress among undergraduate nursing students.

METHODS: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The convenience sample included 87 female nursing students. The Student Nurse Stress Index (SNSI) was used to describe the sources of stress from four domains: academic load, clinical concerns, personal problems, and interface worries.

RESULTS: The majority (95.4%) of the participants were aged between 19-21 years. The major source of stress was academic load (M = 3.38, SD = 0.82), followed by interface worries (M = 3.22, SD = 0.79), clinical concerns (M = 2.80, SD = 0.78), and personal problems (M = 2.43, SD = 1.02).

CONCLUSION: The nursing students’ stress resulting from their academic load was higher than the other sources of stress, and it was related to the large number of materials, assignments, or subjects required for nursing students. It is recommended that undergraduate nursing students are supported by having schools organize the amount of academic work required for each subject. Given that the students’ academic load was the most common source of stress, coordination between the students and faculty about the requirements of each course is warranted.
Methodological View of Business Ethics Researches in Turkey: A Review on Postgraduate Theses
Authors: Yılmaz Sevdiye E.
Published: July 2019

This study was designed with an aim to search for an answer to the question what is the current situation of the studies conducted on business ethics in the business management literature in Turkey. Within the scope of the study, 81 postgraduate theses prepared in the field of business management were examined in terms of methodology. In the analysis, it was seen that the majority of the theses were quantitative studies using the survey method as the data acquisition method. As a result of the analyses performed, it was detected that the theses on business ethics in Turkey shaped under the domination of positivist paradigm methodologically. However, most of the postgraduate theses were carried out in a superficial context, neglecting the requirements of positivist paradigm. In line with the findings obtained, it was concluded that the majority of the postgraduate theses on business ethics in Turkey were superficial studies ignoring the complicated nature of business ethics.

This paper presents the variation in physico-chemical properties of a local Maroua tannery effluent before and after a flocculation treatment. Tanning is a process that consists of the transformation of the animal skin into leather by using different baths which contain many chemical reagents and produces high quantity of liquid and solid waste. The used water of traditional tannery of Maroua is directly thrown in nature without any pre-treatment posing a potential risk to the environment and human health. Physico-chemical parameters such as temperature, pH and conductivity, Total suspended solids, Total hardness, chlorides, sulfides, nitrates,COD, BOD5 , ammonium ion, dissolve oxygen, turbidity, colour and odour were determined before and after aluminum sulfate powder flocculation treatment for effluents collected from soaking, liming, deliming and vegetable tanning stages of the tannery process. The results obtained showed that most of the physico-chemical parameters are higher than the international standard. The results obtained made it possible to classify these four effluents in order of toxicity as follows: Liming water > vegetable tanning water > deliming water > soaking water. The treatment of these waste waters by flocculation reduces the concentrations of certain pollutant loads such as TSS, turbidity, hardness, COD, BOD5, sulfate; but remains less effective on others such as nitrate, chloride and ammonium ion (8%). There is also a decrease in pH, an increase in dissolved oxygen and conductivity. The flocculation treatment thus considerably reduced the toxicity of these effluents, especially its organic load.

Published: July 2019

Corneal ectasia is a serious complication of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). We report the case of a 29-year-old man who underwent LASIK in both eyes and in whom corneal ectasia developed in the left eye 3 years after surgery. He was treated sequentially with intraocular pressure-lowering medication, intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implants, and collagen crosslinking. Vision improved and the ectasia stabilized following treatment. Combined ICRS implantation and collagen crosslinking should be considered early in the management of post-LASIK ectasia.
Informell sich näherkommen – Integration schrittweise begleiten

Published: July 2019

Die Integration von Geflüchteten ist keine Frage einiger Monate und weniger gezielter Hilfen, sondern eine Jahre dauernde Aufgabe, auf die sich eine organisierte Unterstützung und die Helfenden selbst einstellen müssen. Zur Begleitung von Migranten beim Einleben in die hiesigen Verhältnisse wird ein informeller und vorwiegend freiwilliger Einsatz gebraucht - professionell koordiniert und moderiert. Im Verlauf der Eingliederung kommt man sich von beiden Seiten näher - in der Übersetzung von Sprache, in der Anpassung von kulturell bedingtem Verhalten und in der Bewältigung von Alltagsproblemen.
