Authors: Ključnikov Aleksandr , Civelek Mehmet , Vozňáková Iveta , Krajčík Vladimír
Published: June 2020

Research background: Because of enabling a greater amount of money circulation and addressing the needs of individuals in specific regions, local and digital currencies have become more important for local economic and sustainable development, especially in last decade. However, their awareness by potential users have become one of major constraints to their extensive usage. In this regard, discount have been used to increase the awareness of individuals. 
Purpose of the article: As discount is used as an effective promotional tool. This study pays regard to this indicator and aims to investigate whether the  discount rate is positively associated with local and digital currency awareness of potential users. Moreover, this research also includes job positions and age of the respondents into the analyses due to potential existence of differences in the awareness of people regarding their characteristics.
Methods: The research employs a questionnaire survey and acquires data from 407 workers of a local business in Cieszyn Silesia region of the Czech Republic. The researchers run Binary Logistic Regression analyses in IBM SPSS Software to examine the relationship between these specified variables.
Findings & Value added: The research substantiates the fact that potential users who demand more discount rates are more likely to be aware of local and digital currencies. Moreover, potential users who work in lower job positions and demand more discounts are more acquainted with these currencies. Although the existence of a relationship between age and local currency awareness is not proved, older people who demand discounts with higher percentages are more informed about digital currencies than younger individuals. Higher elasticity in discount demand, mutual interactions and relations, such as social media and internet usage of potential users, might be the reasons of these results. This study makes significant contributions to the literature by confirming the significance of individuals? ages and occupational statuses in the awareness of local and digital currencies and the positive relationship between their discount propensity and awareness.
Price strategies of mobile operators in Russia in the conditions of the global economic recession
Authors: Dengov Victor , Tulyakova Irina , Gregova Elena , Sviridov Gleb
Published: June 2020

Research background: Currently, the four major mobile communications providers dominate the Russian market. The oligopolistic structure leads to negative consequences, such as a weak stimulus for the product development or technological innovation, and the lack of incentive for the call-rate reduction. In their line of work, the mobile service providers use different price strategies. To comprehend what determines the current price level and what changes one should expect therein, we have to understand which factors influence the price of the mobile services.
Purpose of the article: The chief goal of this work is the analysis of the influence of the crisis on the price strategies of the providers, as well as the forecasting of the changes of prices for their services. As the main hypothesis, this work presents the assumption that during the recession the price of the mobile services in the different regions of Russia will grow.
Methods: The authors built regression models for the dependence of the average price of the mobile providers? services in a particular region from the selected factors. In this work, we selected the following types of the multiple regression equation as the modeling functions: linear, power-law, exponential. Adding the time factor (t) is the key element of the forecasting.
Findings & Value added: After gathering the data and the subsequent calculation of the medium price baskets, we were able to build different multiple regression models. To build the forecasts for the dynamics of prices in the regions for the year 2018 we selected the best regression models. The analysis of the acquired forecasting results generally proved our hypothesis about the growth of the average prices for the mobile communications services, expected in 2018 in the majority of regions. The analysis itself, the programs created for its implementation, as well as the results obtained, can, in our opinion, be considered as some contribution to the development of the theory of price competition in oligopolistic markets. The mobile services? markets in many EU countries have a similar structure, and, with this in mind, the results of forecasting price dynamics obtained from Russian experience may be of interest to scholars dealing with similar problems in their respective countries, including the possibility of conducting comparative studies.

Published: June 2020

The article presents a research of the features of embryonic development of clarid catfish (Clarias gariepinus (Burchell, 1822)) conducted at the Southern Scientific Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences in the period 2016-2019, as well as at the Department of aquaculture and fisheries of Astrakhan State Technical University. The aim of research is to analyze the duration of embryonic development of the clarid catfish (Clarias gariepinus, Burchell, 1822) in early ontogenesis during artificial reproduction, as well as to study changes in the rate of development of clarid catfish at different temperatures and changes in temperature regime. When analyzing the influence of temperature on the embrional development it was found that duration of the initial stages of development changes slightly and the decrease rates of embryogenesis due to a decrease in temperature corresponds to the late stages of the embryo growth, which can be explained by the adaptation to hatching in the most favorable conditions. A description of embryonic development and growth of catfish embryos and pre-larvae is given. During embryogenesis, morphological features that are easily identified and reflect the process of morphogenesis are identified. It has been found that the duration of embryogenesis of clarid catfish, as well as its individual stages, increases with a decreasing water temperature. As a result of the research, it has been inferred that the duration of embryonic development inside the shells is 18-22 hours. The results of observations on the behavior and morphogenesis of pre-larval clarid catfish kept in an artificially formed system are analyzed

Published: June 2020

Vitamin K (VK) is oxidized to vitamin K epoxide (VK-O) during the production of VK-dependent blood clotting factors. Thereafter, VK-O is reduced to VK by vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR) in the liver and reused. This reductive reaction is inhibited by warfarin, an oral anticoagulant. VK in nature is roughly divided into two types, VK1 (phylloquinone) and VK2 (menaquinone). Although their bioavailabilities and elimination half-lives from human blood differ, information on the influence of each VK on the effectiveness of warfarin is limited. In this study, the difference in the metabolism of VK1-O and MK4-O by VKOR was evaluated in an in vitro study using human liver microsomes. The results showed that the substrate affinity (1/Km), and the maximum reaction rate (Vmax) of the VKOR reduction was around 7 and 4 times higher for MK4-O than for VK1-O, respectively. The intrinsic clearance of MK4-O, obtained by dividing the Vmax value by the Km value, was about 30 times greater than that of VK1-O. According to these data, the production of VK-dependent blood coagulation factors can be considered to be dominated mainly by MK4-O, at least under normal conditions. We may thus have to be more careful about controlling the intake of MK4 than VK1 in patients receiving warfarin therapy.Keywords: vitamin K1 (phylloquinone), vitamin K2 (menaquinone), VKOR, warfarin

Dynamic Flight Routing Using Internet of Things Framework
Authors: Chatterjee Amlan Chatterjee
Published: June 2020

With increased demand of quicker travel, both for passengers and cargo, there has been major advancements in commercial airlines and number of flights have increased significantly over the last few years. Novel challenges have been introduced due to the rising number of flights in the areas of safety, route planning and maintenance. In addition, for commercial flights, the surge in the number of passengers have also exposed avenues for improving the quality of flight travel, from entering the airport premises to leaving the same at the destination. Although there are many areas of flight and airport operations that can benefit from leveraging technological advancements, choosing safe flight path and making dynamic modifications to it is the critical aspect that needs to be addressed. Comprehending available information to adhere to the provided route and also avoiding known areas of air turbulence, adds to the financial benefit of the commercial airline as well as the safety of the airplane and the passengers are ensured. In this paper, the various aspects of improving the flight routing by providing dynamic intelligent path options to ensure adherence to the provided flight path possible is studied; options for improving the flight safety and turbulence avoidance, which benefits both the passengers and the aircraft are also explored. In addition, keeping aircraft away from conflict zones or war zones, and also from areas of natural disaster, like erupting volcanic ash or forest fires is relevant. Although these issues have been studied before, most of the techniques depend heavily on infrastructure that is on the ground. The basic model requires constant communication with an air traffic control tower, that would provide updates and changes to the flight path as necessary. This leads to some of these methods being unusable on flights operating on oceanic routes and away from the communication zone of the devices placed on land masses. Therefore, in this paper an Internet of Things based framework is proposed to address and handle the above mentioned issues. The framework is structured on the communication model of information exchange among aircraft within the range, as well as taking advantage of ground infrastructure if there is a possible network link to the same. A number of algorithms are proposed for dynamic intelligent routing of flights as well as detection and avoidance of air turbulence. The implementations of the proposed algorithms show improvements ranging from 10% to 30% in the methods as compared to using the infrastructure based conventional techniques.

Public’s Media Use and Gratification Sought during Corona Virus Outbreak in Indonesia: A National Survey
Authors: Rochyadi-Reetz Mira , Maryani Eni , Agustina Anna
Published: June 2020

The recent coronavirus outbreak is without a doubt a global crisis event that has affected almost all nations of the world. This study aims to contribute to crisis communication research from the audience perspective in Indonesia by presenting the public’s media use and gratification sought during the coronavirus outbreak based on a representative national mobile survey with 1,100 respondents. Results show that the majority of Indonesians intensively use (1) private television, (2-4) websites and social media accounts of actors providing information on the crisis and (5) public television to get information regarding the pandemic. The findings indicate that other types of media such as radio and local television are used to a much lower extent. Results also show that there are two media-use gratifications sought during the crisis: (1) information and direction gratification sought and (2) entertainment and comparison gratification sought. Sociodemographic factors such as gender, age and education level demonstrate some significant influence on public media use and the gratification sought during the coronavirus outbreak. Surprisingly, entertainment and comparison sought are demonstrated as having a higher effect on the increasing use of mass media, social media and messenger apps during the crisis event than the information and direction gratification sought.
Getting to the Heart of Cultural Safety in Unama’ki: Considering Kesultulinej (love).
Authors: Sheppard De-Ann
Published: June 2020

Reflecting upon my early knowledge landscapes, situated within the unceded Mi’kmaq territory of Unama’ki (Cape Breton, Nova Scotia), living the Peace & Friendship Treaty and the teachings of Mi’kmaw Elders, I contemplate the essential relationship with land and language, specifically, Kesultulinej (love as action) and Etuaptmumk (two-eyed seeing) to Cultural Safety. I recognize my position, privilege, and responsibility in teaching and learning about the contextual meanings of Cultural Safety, situated in specific Indigenous terrains and in relation with the land, across time, and relationships. Critical reflection on my story and experiences challenge me to consider why and how Maori nursing theorizations of Cultural Safety have been indoctrinated into the language of national nursing education by the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN), Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) and most provincial nursing regulatory bodies; this is increasingly relevant as nursing education is progressively shaped by neoliberal and Indigenizing agendas. As I contemplate wrapping Cultural Safety with Kesultulinej, I see the potential to decolonize nursing. Mi’kmaw teachings of Etuaptmumk and Kesultulinej call forth responsibilities to act, and in doing so move us into a space of potential to resist the colonizing forces within nursing. In this moment I realize the interconnected meaning of being amidst these relationships that matter to me as a person and as a nurse; relationships that are marked by love, care and compassion.
COMPLETING THE CIRCLE: TOWARDS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF IND-EQUITY- A CULTURALLY RELEVANT HEALTH EQUITY MODEL BY/FOR INDIGENOUS POPULATIONS
Authors: Downey Bernice
Published: June 2020

Health equity is defined in ways that espouse values of social justice and benevolence and is held up as an ideal state achievable by all. However, there remains a troubling gap in health outcomes between Indigenous Peoples and other Canadians. Public health stakeholders aspire to ‘close the gap’ and ‘level the gradient’ to reduce inequities though the implementation of various health equity focused strategies. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada echoes this objective and calls for self-determining structural reform to address health inequity for Indigenous Peoples. This paper proposes an IND-equity model as a reconciliation inspired response that upholds Indigenous self-determination and is informed by diverse Indigenous ways of knowing.  When adopting this model, the goal is to complete the circle and foster wholistic balance. Further development and implementation of an IND-equity model requires advocacy by all health practitioners. Nurses hold potential to lead and engage in structural reform through an Indigenous health ally role.
A Review of Literature on Immigration in Developed Countries: Determinants of Employment Discrimination
Authors: Hoang Lan Ho , Nam Doan Danh
Published: June 2020

Despite having endorsed civil rights and equality of all individuals, society nowadays remains segregated in many aspects. Apparently, those with unfamiliar styles (culture, communication, religion, etc.) have always been the centre of this malaise, which is getting even more serious with the recent immigrant crisis in Europe. Hence, the goal of this literature review is to gain an understanding of research into the causes of prejudice and discrimination so far. Specified in this paper are the reasons why such employment discrimination still exists, which may come down to one or more of five major factors: Ethnicity and Religion, Culture Norms and Values, Educational Level, Historical and Contemporary Issues and Organizational Environment. None alone would be solely sufficient to explain the causes; hence, this paper will attempt to connect them into one integrated model. Ethically, this paper pointed out not only the roots but also the solutions to them. Though, it is a complex issue, requiring a systematic solution, societal awareness and action. However, the paper has given details of potential future directions from household to national level that may simplify the complexity of the solutions.
Analysing City-Regions in a Vietnamese Context: An Overview of Concepts, Definitions and Development Policy Implications
Authors: Le Son Minh
Published: June 2020

In recent years, Vietnam has made forward-looking steps in endorsing and promoting City-region development with appropriate vision and leadership. However, there appears to be rather limited literature on the city-region as well as a gap between how the ‘city-region’ is understood conceptually and the relevant policies being advocated. To have a more thorough consideration of whether such advocacy is appropriate, a more thorough comprehension of concepts, definitions and implications is necessary. This paper aims to contribute to this literature gap, firstly by demonstrating how city-regions are functional economic areas which can be empirically studied. Secondly, by analyzing the Vietnamese legal framework using the Hanoi Capital Region and the Ho Chi Minh City Region as case studies, this paper presents arguments that City-region development in Vietnam is highly normative and politically guided. Some major identified challenges come from poor data collection and lack of formal recognition. Urgent changes in perspective, as well as data collection practice, are needed to enable a unified approach to city-regions, which is of interest to both academics and policy-makers.
