Work expectations and potential employability of millennials and post-millennials on the Czech labor market
Authors: Šafránková Jana Marie , Šikýř Martin
Published: January 2018

Research background: A common problem of employing the Czech unemployed (especially young people) is that their professional and personal qualities often do not meet the re-quirements of employers. Despite the increasing level of education, the unemployment of young generation of millennials has been worsening. It seems that they often lack relevant professional skills and social habits, and usually have unreal expectations about their initial job opportunities. We want to explore this problem in more detail.

Purpose of the article: The purpose of the article is to present work expectations of today's Czech millennials and post-millennials and discuss their potential employability on the Czech labor market.

Methods: The paper is based on the analysis of available scientific literature and the results of the authors' questionnaire survey focused on students of three selected Czech universities and their motivation to study at university and their expectations about the future career. The survey was conducted in spring and autumn 2016. The respondents were full-time and com-bined bachelor's and master's students of the College of Regional Development in Prague, the Masaryk Institute of Advanced Studies of the Czech Technical University in Prague and the Education Management Centre of the Faculty of Education of the Charles University in Prague. The relevant data were obtained from 484 students.

Findings & Value added: The results support the research assumption that young generation of Czech millennials show relatively high expectations related to work and career, which would limit their employability. Many employers are afraid of employing young people, but from the perspective of potential shortage of qualified and motivated people on the Czech labor market they should learn to create appropriate and attractive employment opportunities for young people to ensure effective development of their potential. The article presents common work expectations of today's Czech millennials and provides employers with some advice to manage them.

Authors: Głód Grzegorz , Flak Olaf
Published: January 2018

Research background: A lot of companies in the market create a variety of situations in which they compete with one another. At the same time companies crave for the same pool of demand, and in fact the money held by the buyers. Attempts to define the notion of com-petitiveness of the company appear frequently in scientific publications and in the research conducted by various institutions in different countries. The concept of competitiveness is used to determine the ratio of enterprise characteristics to these of its competitors, resulting from many internal features and the ability to deal with an external environment.

Purpose of the article: The purpose of this article is to present results of the Company Competitiveness Barometer, conducted in 2014, 2015 and 2016 on a group of more than 600 Polish companies. The Barometer is a theoretical basis for the integrated model of competi-tiveness designed by the authors of the article. The specific objectives of this article are: to provide an overview of the research methodology, to present the results of empirical studies of more than 600 Polish companies, to create an outline of the future direction of the research on competitiveness of enterprises by means of the Company Competitiveness Barometer.

Methods: The questionnaire used in the Company Competitiveness Barometer is built of 48 questions. 45 of them are related to the characteristics of the company that are affecting its competitiveness, and 3 questions are metric questions. The questionnaire can be found on the www.sensorium24.com website.

Findings & Value added: The research carried out from the point of view of the company?s employees, offer an opportunity to reflect and think about the competitiveness of their own organization and factors that are shaping it. The IT tool used makes it possible to compare own results with other companies participating in the survey.
Estimating an impact of base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) countermeasures ? a case of business group
Authors: Legenzova Renata , Levišauskaitė Kristina , Kundelis Egidijus
Published: January 2018

Research background: Base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) is a reduction of corporate income tax base and related corporate income tax payments via taking advantage of tax loopholes. OECD prepared 15 BEPS actions, which set countermeasures to fight tax avoid-ance in a coordinated way and shall be implement by countries on a voluntary basis. Literature review revealed that on a macro-level and company-level the extent of BEPS is large and statistically significant while studies addressing micro-level (transaction-level) impact and BEPS countermeasures? related issues are limited.

Purpose of the article: to identify methods and metrics available for evaluation of BEPS countermeasures? impact on a micro-level and to assess BEPS countermeasures? impact on a business group.

Methods: the paper employs comparative analysis of scientific and professional literature to identify approaches and methods available for evaluation of BEPS countermeasures? impact on a micro-level; and a case analysis method to assess an expected impact of BEPS coun-termeasures on a specific business group. 

Findings & Value added: An approach used to estimate BEPS countermeasures impact on the micro-level differs from the one applied in macro-level analysis. To conduct the case analysis, OECD?s proposed macro-level fiscal impact assessment approach has been adapted for a micro-level analysis. It includes the analysis of the transactions subject to BEPS countermeasures and develops an action plan to manage related risks. The conducted case analysis differs from previous research as it employs transaction-level data and estimates fiscal effect of BEPS countermeasures on a micro-level. Analysis of the activities of the specific business group revealed that 5 from 15 countermeasures are relevant and directly applicable to this business group. They would not have an immediate significant direct fiscal effect, but risks related to BEPS countermeasures exist and action plans to manage negative effects of BEPS countermeasures have to be implemented.
The influence of quality management systems for improvement of logistics supply in Poland
Authors: Zimon Dominik
Published: January 2018

Research background: ISO 9001 with its requirements gives a company a guidance on the definition of the quality management system architecture, based on the process approach and the indications for its continuous improvement. Despite the general emphasis to the benefits of implementation of ISO 9001 in the literature, there is a still lack of research concerning the actual impact of quality management systems for improving specific logistics processes. The research is focused on the Polish market because there is no research in the subject literature which concerns the impact of the implementation of quality management systems on the improvement of logistic processes in Polish enterprises.

Purpose of the article: The focus of this publication was to examine the impact of the implementation of the requirements of ISO 9001 for process improvement supply logistics.

Methods: Empirical studies were carried out in September and October 2014 on a group of 17 companies with implemented and certified quality management systems according to ISO 9001. The research tool was a questionnaire survey sent to management representatives (25 respondents) and workers (140 respondents). The surveys were supplemented with direct interviews with employees of the companies.

Findings: Based on the survey it can be stated that the quality management systems, accord-ing to ISO 9001, had a fairly large impact on improving procurement processes. This is particularly evident in areas including relationships with suppliers, quality control, workflow and communication, both internal and external. The positive aspects achieved through the implementation of quality management systems due to the fact that the ISO 9001 standard in its commitments puts great emphasis on the organization of the procurement process.

Authors: Pilelienė Lina , Grigaliūnaitė Viktorija
Published: January 2018

Research background: The conditions of globalization lead to a situation where consumers are overloaded with commercial information. Moreover, abundance of various promotional techniques makes consumers indifferent to many companies? efforts. On the other hand, organizations are allocating tremendous parts of their budgets to create advertisements which sometimes remain unnoticed or do not stimulate consumer purchase intentions. Therefore, a wide body of scientific re-search on advertising effectiveness has emerged in recent years. Many aspects of advertising have been analysed, e.g. the effectiveness of advertising spokesperson, appeal, layout, etc. However, the research on advertising colour temperature and its impact on advertising effectiveness is still scarce.

Purpose of the article: Considering the intensifying competition in the retail sector, creating attractive and stimulating advertisements becomes an important task for many organizations. The aim of this research is to determine the impact of the colour temperature used in advertisements on consumer purchase intentions.

Methods: In order to determine the impact of advertising colour temperature on consumer purchase intentions, a questionnaire survey was provided. The questionnaire was elaborated based on the analysis and synthesis of scientific literature.

Findings & Value added: The theoretical analysis substantiated the different influence of colours and colour temperature on consumer perception. Therefore, the assumption was made: all other parameters being constant, the colour temperature of an advertisement might have a different impact on consumer perception. The results of empiric research revealed the differences of the impact of colour temperature on consumer purchase decisions in terms of an attitude toward advertising and the brand, reported brand-related behaviour. The colour temperature related to insights for the enhancement of advertising effectiveness and guidelines for future research are provided.

MENGKRITISI RUU KERUKUNAN UMAT BERAGAMA: MENJAMIN ATAU MEMBATASI KEBEBASAN?
Authors: Pamungkas Setyo
Published: January 2018

Abstrak Pengakuan terhadap kebebasan untuk beragama dan berkeyakinan merupakan sebuah penegasan terhadap prinsip bahwa kebebasan beragama dan berkeyakinan adalah hak dasar.Kebebasan beragama dan berkeyakinan tersebut saat ini terancam dengan adanya keinginan untuk membentuk undang-undang, yaitu Rancangan Undang-Undang tentangKerukunan Umat Beragama. Permasalahan dari RUU tersebut adalah apakah dengan pengaturan hal itu mendorong masyarakat untuk toleran atau justru menjadi alat untuk mengintervensi keberadaan umat beragama di Indonesia. RUU KUB bisa saja melegalisasikan kehidupan beragama yang nyaman, namun juga melegalisasikan usahausaha untuk membatasi ruang gerak penyebaran agama melalui eksistensi umat, khususnya kaum minoritas sehingga hal itu tidak konsisten dengan semangat kemajemukan.AbstractRecognition of the freedom of religion and belief is an affirmation of the principle that freedom of religion and belief is a basic rights. This basic freedom is currently threatened by the aspiration to establish a law, as reflected by intense discussion of the Bill on Religious Harmony. The problems of the bill is whether the law will encourage people to be tolerant, or just become a tool to intervene in the existence of religious communities in Indonesia. The Bill on Religious Harmony could establish contented religious life, but it could also formalize efforts to limit the spreading of religions which is in turn not consistent with the spirit of pluralism.

Dengan melakukan konseptualisasi lebih lanjut, efisiensi ekonomi juga membantu dalam menilai dan melakukan penilaian terhadap hukum. Salah satu bentuk efisiensi ekonomi dalam tulisan ini adalah pendekatan ekonomis terhadap hukum dalam merumuskan keuntungan yang dihasilkan hukum. Dalam hal ini efisiensi ekonomi mengubah hukum sebagai insentif dalam mengubah perilaku manusia seperti halnya mempertahankan perilaku yang sudah sejalan dengan tujuan-tujuan hukum.

With further conceptualization, economic efficiency is also useful in judging and assessing the law. One relevant form of economic efficiency discussed in this paper is the economic approach to law in formulating the expected profit of the law. In this case, economic efficiency transforms law into an incentive to change human behaviors as well as to maintain certain behaviors that are already in line with the objectives of the law. Laws should determine remedies by way of punishment and rewards as an incentive to reveal certain crucial aspects of jurisprudence.

Authors: Aravind, R Pervez R S Bhai*, S J Eapen, A Kumar, R , K Sreeja E M Varghese, P B Krishna &
Published: January 2018

Field trial was conducted at ICAR-IISR Experimental Farm, Peruvannamuzhi, Kozhikode district, Kerala, during 2008-2013 using IPM modules. Planting materials of black pepper were produced by raising two node runners cuttings treated with chemicals and bioagents. A plot having non-living standards in 3 x 2 m spacing was selected. Pits of 50 cm3 were made and buffered with lime and cow dung. Planting was done with three month old rooted plants where roots were primed with respective bacterium/chemical. The experiment was in RCBD with eight treatments viz., Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Bp 35) + Phorate, P. putida (Bp 25) + Phorate, P. fluorescence (IISR 6)  (later identified as P.aeruginosa) + Phorate, Bacillus megaterium (Bp 17) + Metalaxyl Mz, Curtobacterium luteum (TC10) + Metalaxyl Mz, P. aeruginosa (IISR 853) + Metalaxyl Mz and Phorate + Metalaxyl Mz (chemical check) and an absolute control having no treatments.  The differential treatments were imposed at planting in May and subsequent application in September and thereafter every year. Initial two years, plants were maintained weed free by plastic mulching. Commonly, shade and irrigation were provided during summer in the first two years and thereafter only mulching and irrigation were continued. All the plants were sprayed with ZnSO4 (0.25%), DAP (0.5%) and MgSO4 (0.25%) during May and September from second year onwards. For controlling ‘Pollu’ beetle (Longitarsus nigripennis) and anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides), quinalphos (0.075%) + Bordeaux mixture (1%) was sprayed twice during September and November. Soil biological properties and pathogen population were monitored regularly. No foot rot incidence due to Phytophthora spp. could be noticed in any of the treatments till the end of the experimental period. However, nematode infection, manifested as yellowing of the vines, as well as nematode population showed a gradual increase. Among the treatments, C. luteum (TC 10) with Metalaxyl- Mz showed significant reduction in nematode population and also showed better performance in growth and yield.

Published: January 2018

In Rajasthan, fenugreek crop is attacked by a number of diseases. Powdery mildew of fenugreek is an important and serious disease caused by Erysiphe polygoni. Date of sowing and crop geometry greatly influenced the disease intensity of powdery mildew on fenugreek during the two consecutive years 2012-13 and 2013-14. Early sown crop exhibited more disease development as compared to late sown crop. November 30th sown crop recorded minimum per cent disease intensity, whereas 10th October sown crop recorded maximum per cent disease intensity and minimum seed yield. The crop was sown on 30th October registered maximum seed yield (16.48 q/ha) with 61.10 per cent disease intensity. The wider spacing of 15 x 45 cm, 15 x 30 cm and 10 x 45 cm between rows and within rows recorded minimum per cent disease intensity (36.11, 39.66 and 45.39) respectively. However, closer spacing 5 x 15 cm recorded maximum seed yield and per cent disease intensity. Out of fifteen host species powdery mildew symptoms were observed on Pisum sativum, Cuminum cyminum, Coriandrum sativum, Calendula officinalis, Lathyrus odoratus and Foeniculum vulgur under caged conditions.

Nine insecticides and a natural product were evaluated in the field at Peruvannamuzhi (Kerala) for their efficacy against shoot borer (Conogethes punctiferalis), a serious insect pest of ginger (Zingiber officinale) for two years. Pooled analysis of two years data indicated that chlorantraniliprole 0.01% was the best treatment with a mean pseudostem damage of 2.6% which was on par with flubendiamide 0.02% (4.1%), spinosad 0.0225% (6.5%) and cyantraniliprole 0.005% (8.8%), when sprayed at 15 day intervals during the second fortnight of July to the first fortnight of November. The trials indicated that that these low-risk insecticides and natural product can be utilized for the management of C. punctiferalis in ginger with reduced risk to the environment.

The Indian mango ginger (Curcuma amada Roxb.) is a perennial rhizomatous herb with a raw mango flavour. It is resistant to bacterial wilt disease. In order to understand the disease resistance mechanism of mango gingerthe hexane, chloroform and methanol extracts (5, 10, 25, 50 and 100mg/ml) and essential oils (1%, 5% and 10%) were tested against the bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum by agar well diffusion method. The hexane, chloroform and methanol extracts showed more or less the same level of antimicrobial activity with a zone of inhibition ranging from 3-9 mm. The essential oils exhibited a zone of inhibition ranging from 3-7 mm.The major constituents of the essential oils were β-myrcene and β-pinene. The results indicated that the rhizome of mango ginger may contain compounds that are toxic to the pathogen. The extracts of mango ginger could be explored further for developing a natural bactericide against R. solanacearum.

This research was initiated to assess the market channels and develops value chain map and econometric model outputs for the onion in Ambo and Toke Kutaye districts of West Showa Zone, Oromiya Regional State, Ethiopia. Primary data were collected using interview guided questionnaires from 183 respondents’ of different actors in onion value chain and four focus group discussions of onion producers. Descriptive and inferential statistics; value chain mapping; marketing margin analysis; and econometrics analysis were used to analyze the data. About four marketing channels were identified in the study areas. The econometric result showed that  education level of household, onion farming experience, number of oxen owned, land size used for onion farming, amount of fertilizer used, access to extension services and family size of house hold were variables those significantly influenced the marketable supply of onion at farmers level. Multiple linear regression model indicated that variables like age, farm experience, family size, selling price and improved inputs were significant in affecting onion marketable supply. Thus, to increase the onion productivity, market channel and performances of all actors to maximize the profits of all value chain actors, it is important to integrate all concerned bodies of the onion value chains along with the supporting sectors.

Field experiments were conducted at AICRP for Dryland Agriculture, Orissa University of Agriculture & Technology, Phulbani, Odisha (India) to study the yield performance of 10 important turmeric genotypes, and the effect of five different nutrient management practices on four outstanding varieties in order to address the problem of low rhizome yield and curcumin content of the zone. Based on yield data of 10 turmeric varieties over two years (2007 and 2008) evaluated in RBD with three replications, highest rhizome yield of 21.7 t/ha was observed in Lakdong followed by Rajendra Sonia (16.0 t/ha). The second experiment was laid out in factorial design involving four varieties and five nutrient treatments with 3 replications. The yield data over five years (2009-10 to 2012-13 and 2014-15) shows Lakdong (9.14 t/ha) to be the best among varieties and lime @10% LR + 50% organic + 50% inorganic (9.15 t/ha) among nutrient treatments. Significant variety × nutrient interaction was observed with respect to rhizome yield. Highest rhizome yield was obtained from turmeric variety Lakdong with 100% organic treatment (11.1 t/ha). While two varieties, Lakdong and Phulbani Local exhibited highest yield with 100% organic treatment, performance of Rajendra Sonia was the best with 50% organic + 50% inorganic + lime @10% LR and Roma with 50% organic + 50% inorganic. Significant variation was observed among nutrient treatments of all four turmeric varieties for NPK content in shoot and rhizome. The interaction between varieties and nutrient management practices for curcumin content was significant.

Published: January 2018

Coriander is an important spice crop affected by wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. corianderii. Two trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of Bacillus subtilis for the management of wilt under glass house condition. The results of the trials indicated that, among the various treatments, seed treatment with talc formulation of Bacillus subtilis (10g/kg of seed) along with soil application (2.5 kg/ha) as basal and top dressing at 30 and 45 days after sowing was  effective in reducing the wilt incidence  (14.59%) compared to control (32.68% ).
Computed Tomography-guided Sharp Needle Venous Recanalization of Chronic Clot
Authors: Rahim Shiraz , Azar Nami , Davidson Jon , Ahmed Yasmine
Published: January 2018

This article outlines a case performed at our institution that involved direct sharp recanalization of the superior vena cava (SVC) as a way to bypass chronic venous thrombus using a combination of ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) guidance. The case is of a patient requiring a Denver shunt for chronic chylous ascites. His prior shunts placed in the right internal jugular and subclavian veins became thrombosed repeatedly. His left subclavian vein was resected with subsequent occlusion of the graft. The brachiocephalic vein was narrowed likely after his mediastinal lymph node dissection. Revision of the Denver shunt could therefore only be done by directly cannulating into the proximal SVC away from the thrombosed right internal jugular vein. This case outlines the use of CT as an adjunct to standard ultrasound or fluoroscopic guided sharp needle recanalization which has not previously been described in the literature and offers clinicians an additional tool to help treat long-segment thrombus and preserve important vessels for venous access.
A PROBLEMÁTICA DO ACESSO À JUSTIÇA TRABALHISTA EM COMUNIDADES RIBEIRINHAS: O CASO DO ARQUIPÉLAGO DO BAILIQUE NO ESTADO DO AMAPÁ.
Authors: Furlan Donizete Vaz , Pires Simone Maria Palheta
Published: January 2018

RESUMO Trata-se, o presente, de pesquisa sobre o acesso à justiça trabalhista das populações ribeirinhas, comunidades com economia de subsistência e culturas centenárias localizadas à beira dos muitos rios existentes na Amazônia, com acesso muito reduzido à capital que se dá somente pela via fluvial. Lá é comum encontrar estabelecimentos comerciais, como: bares, pequenos restaurantes, farmácias, entre outros. São empregadores que utilizam a mão-de-obra barata dos moradores locais e até de crianças. Serviços estatais e políticas públicas são considerados precários, quando existentes. Não existe acesso imediato à justiça, inexistem varas de tribunais especializadas. São comunidades marginalizadas juridicamente, onde moradores (ribeirinhos) encontram-se excluídos do direito à tutela jurisdicional. Pretende-se refletir sobre a efetividade do princípio da igualdade e da política de reconhecimento das diferenças como corolários do acesso à justiça trabalhista das comunidades tradicionais. Optou-se pela pesquisa de campo, entrevistas com moradores e pesquisa bibliográfica. A etnografia foi a opção como instrumento para conhecer as dificuldades que os ribeirinhos encontram em judicializar seus direitos trabalhistas; diagnosticar as ferramentas que o Estado disponibiliza para amenizar as visíveis disparidades de acesso à justiça, além da analise da existência de aplicabilidade do princípio da igualdade e do reconhecimento das diferenças na busca da igualdade ao acesso à justiça.

Background: The standard approach to an occlusive vascular injury is open arterial reconstruction, although endovascular stenting is becoming more common, despite limited evidence. The aim of this study is to examine whether bare-metal stents can be effective in an ovine model of occlusive arterial trauma.Methods: Through a groin incision, a 2-cm segment of the left superficial femoral artery (SFA) was bluntly injured using a hemostat and injection of air to achieve thrombosis. Animals then underwent a stent deployment (stent group, n = 5) or no-treatment (control group, n = 5). In the stent group, recanalization of the thrombotic lesion, thromboaspiration, and bare-metal stent deployment were performed. Enoxaparin 1.5 mg/kg was given to all animals. The stent group animals were fed clopidogrel 75 mg and aspirin 125 mg daily. Angiography and Doppler ultrasound were used to evaluate arterial patency during the 7-day observation period.Results: A thrombosis was obtained in all cases. After a fall in the systolic velocity (SV, cm/sec) in both the control (43 (36–56) to 6 (0–16); P < 0.001) and stent groups (45 (32–53) to 8 (0–12); P < 0.001), stent implantation resulted in a significant permanent increase of the SV. Day 7 angiography confirmed SFA patency in all (5/5) stented animals, with persisting occlusions in the control group (P = 0.008). There was no evidence of distal emboli in the run-off arteries.Conclusions: Bare-metal stent implantation restores arterial patency of a traumatic occlusive lesion in a standardized ovine model with a short follow-up period.
Zone 1 or 3? Approach to Zone Selection and Pitfalls of REBOA Placement in Trauma
Authors: Glaser Jacob J , Lamb Matthew , Pepe Antonio
Published: January 2018

The use of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in cases of non-compressible torso hemorrhage is becoming increasingly more common. While prospective multicenter data is being collected, and case reports are many, there is still significant debate on the ideal place for REBOA in critically ill trauma patients. With each application of the technique, there are opportunities for lessons learned and opportunities to inform other users while consensus in the trauma community is obtained. We report on the successful use of REBOA for the management of hemorrhagic shock and discuss several such lessons that may improve outcomes in future patients.
