UNSTEADY FREE-CONVECTION IN BINARY MIXTURE OF A BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW PAST A VERTICAL POROUS PLATE WITH RADIATIVE HEAT TRANSFER
Authors: Mondal Rabindra Nath , Das Parimal Chandra , Sattar Md. Abdus
Published: November 2022

The combined free convection dynamic boundary layer and thermal radiation boundary layer along a semi-infinite vertical porous plate with mass transfer has been analyzed. The chemical reaction for a very simple model of a binary reaction with Arrhenius activation energy is incorporated into the analysis. The fluid is considered to be gray, absorbing-emitting. Under such conditions, the coupled and unsteady non-linear momentum, energy and concentration equations of the combined layers are then made similar by introducing a time dependent length scale and by the usual method of similarity transformation. The similarity equations are then solved numerically by the method of superposition. The resulting velocity and t emperature distributions are shown graphically for different values of the parameters entering into the problem. The numerical values of the skin friction coefficient ( w ) and the Nusselt number (Nu ) are calculated and presented in a tabular form.

Published: November 2022

Dalbergia sissoo is an important multipurpose tree species and planted in agroforestry and social forestry practices in Bangladesh. On account of its great strength, elasticity and durability it is valued as good construction and utility timber in Bangladesh. Sapling and trees of 10-15 years old plantation have been dying for unknown diseases since 1996. Shrinkage and specific gravity were studied for sound and disease affected sissoo ( Dalbergia sissoo) wood at three height positions. Specific gravity was determined on the basis of green and ovendry volumes. Wood of sound, moderately affected and severely affected trees shows significant difference in respect of tangential and radial shrinkage respectively. Shrinkage and specific gravity were found to be independent of the different height positions.

EFFECTS OF DIETARY PROTEIN LEVEL UPON PERIPHERAL PLASMA PROGESTERONE CONCENTRATION AND CONCEPTION RATE IN DAIRY CATTLE
Authors: Hossain K.M. , McMeniman N.P.
Published: November 2022

There have been concerns that high protein intake had a significant influence on blood components and uterine constituents in non-lactating dairy cows and on spcrmatozoal motility. There are study that show that as dietary crude protein (CP) is increased, there is a tendency of reduced fertility in dairy cows while other studies have suggested that there is no relationship between reproductive performance and dietary CP intake. The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of dietary CP intake on blood progesterone concentrations and conception rate in dairy cattle. Fourteen lactating Friesian cows were randomly divided into two equal groups, a control group - Low Protein (LP) and a treated - High Protein (HP) group. The cows’ oestrous cycles were synchronized and inseminated with frozen semen. Jugular blood samples were collected daily for at least 21 days after the first insemination starting on day of oestrus and then twice per week until they were 6-weeks of pregnant and then once per week until they were 12-weeks pregnant. The result showed that the progesterone concentrations in the control (LP) cows were significantly higher than in the treated (HP) cows during pre-conception oestrous cycles that did not result in pregnancy for 10 cows (5 in each group). Except on the last day of sampling (day 42), there were no differences in progesterone concentrations between the two groups of cows during first 6-weeks of pregnancy. The plasma progesterone concentrations were significantly lower in the HP group on days 45 and 52. However, dietary protein had no significant effect on overall group mean concentrations over this 6-week period (7 to 12 week) but the interaction, Group x time, was significant. The number of services per conception was lower for the cows fed the low CP diet. However, the median number of services per conception for the two groups was not statistically different. The results clearly indicated that cows fed the high CP rations had significantly reduced plasma progesterone concentrations when compared with those fed the low protein diet. The result also suggested that low progesterone concentrations particularly during the pre-conception oestrous cycle in the HP-fed groups were associated with a lower conception rate (32%) compared in the LP-fed group (54%).

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between dominating conflict management strategy and effectiveness of multinational oil and gas companies in Nigeria. The study adopted the cross-sectional research survey design. Primary data was generated through structured questionnaire. The population of the study was the five (5) multinational oil and gas companies registered with the Department of Petroleum Resources. Since the population of five (5) multinational Oil and Gas producing companies in Nigeria was relatively small, the entire population was studied as a census and in line with the unit of analysis which is at the macro level, the questionnaire was distributed to the elements from the population was used as the participants and in line with the unit of analysis which is at the macro level, the questionnaire was distributed to ten (10) managers of the five (5) multinational oil and gas producing companies in Nigeria, bringing the total number to fifty (50) respondents. The category of managers included in the study were Directors, General Managers, Deputy General Managers, Divisional Managers and Deputy Divisional Managers. The reliability of the instrument was achieved by the use of the Cronbach Alpha Coefficient with all the items scoring above 0.70. The hypotheses were tested using the Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation Coefficient. The tests were carried out at a 0.05 significance level. Findings from the data analysis revealed that, there is a significant negative relationship between negotiating conflict management strategies and effectiveness of multinational oil and gas companies in Nigeria. Therefore, the study concluded that, the adoption of dominating conflict management strategy was negatively related to effectiveness in multinational oil and gas companies in Nigeria. Thus, the study recommends that multinational oil and gas companies should avoid using dominating strategy unless it is the only strategy that can fit the situation. This is because the findings revealed an inverse correlation between multinational oil and gas companies’ effectiveness and dominating strategy.

Modulação da alergenicidade em peixes de cultivo
Authors: Schrama Denise , Rodrigues Pedro Miguel Leal
Published: November 2022

O peixe é um dos nove alimentos mais alergénicos do mundo, que pode induzir uma resposta imune excessiva a proteínas específicas. A maioria das reações alérgicas a peixe são mediadas por anticorpos IgE e ocorrem poucos minutos após a sua ingestão ou contato. O principal alergénio no peixe é uma proteína pequena e estável do músculo branco que se liga ao cálcio, chamada parvalbumina, a qual é responsável por 70-95% das reações alérgicas. A alteração da expressão/concentração e/ou da estrutura deste alergénio através da suplementação das dietas dos peixes aparenta ser uma estratégia pioneira no ramo da nutrição em peixe e alergenicidade. Resultados promissores mostraram uma redução de 50% na reatividade do IgE em pacientes alérgicos a peixe, quando a apo-forma da parvalbumina, ou seja, a proteína desprovida de iões cálcio, é induzida na dourada.
The Olympic Movement and Cultural Policy: Historical Challenges and Ways Forward
Authors: Garcia Beatriz
Published: November 2022

Since its inception, the Olympic Movement has had a strong culture mandate, with “sport, culture and education” being presented as the essential pillars of Olympism in the Olympic Charter. Dedicated cultural programs—now called the Cultural Olympiad—have been a compulsory requirement at the Olympic Games since 1912; artists have always been welcome contributors to the Olympic narrative, and cultural values have informed the development of Olympic rituals from the outset. Despite this, John J. MacAloon and others have noted the lack of a coherent cultural policy framework within the movement and have debated the diversity and local sensitivity of the International Olympic Committee's cultural mandate and portfolio. This article reviews the significance of MacAloon's reflections on this subject since 2000 and interrogates the value of recent developments such as the role of culture within Agenda 2020, changes in the composition of the IOC Cultural and Olympic Heritage Commission, and the evolving positioning of the Cultural Olympiad as the leading contribution of Olympic host cities into the movement's cultural offer. The article concludes with reflections on the potential and challenges for fully inclusive, timely and representative Olympic cultural policies going forward.
Using an Evidence-based Framework to Guide the Implementation of Syringe Services Programs in Jackson, Mississippi
Authors: Eger William , Talbert-Slagle Kristina , Allen Hannah
Published: November 2022

The opioid epidemic in the United States (U.S.) has been coupled with increases in blood-borne infections, including viral hepatitis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which can be spread through injection drug use. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recommends syringe services programs (SSPs) as an evidence-based intervention to address the spread of infectious diseases and to link people who inject drugs (PWID) to appropriate care. Jackson, Mississippi, has one of the highest HIV infection rates in the U.S., yet the city is the only urban area among the top ten incident areas for HIV infections that does not have a sanctioned SSP. The Mississippi State Legislature can request an ‘at-risk’ designation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), granting them power and funding to establish a SSP to help address increasing blood-borne infections among populations of people who inject drugs. This evidence-based commentary follows the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to outline the necessary steps and implementation challenges toward the development of a SSP in Jackson, Mississippi. This framework-based analysis revealed that SSPs have few weaknesses and carry many strengths: SSPs are adaptable, cost-effective, and beneficial for individuals and communities engaged with the programs. SSP development does come with complex political and legal obstacles that have to be untangled, particularly in states like Mississippi, where syringes are classified as drug paraphernalia. In addition to revising laws relating to syringe exchange, implementation of a SSP in Jackson must be accompanied by a grassroots, broad-based marketing and communication campaign led by public health experts who can discuss the benefits of SSPs and combat stigma surrounding injection drug use.
Subtle Asian Glow: A Digital Substance Use Prevention Platform for Asian Populations
Authors: Chwa Cindy
Published: November 2022

Background Despite the influx of digital mental health interventions addressing substance use among young people, there is a need for leveraging cultural sensitivity in the context of substance use within the Asian college student populations, particularly with MDMA, vaping, and alcohol use. While the stigma among Asian populations is increasingly high in regards to substance use, it makes it more challenging if the interventions are not appropriate in respect to the cultural and familial norms that Asian college students experience on a daily basis. Furthermore, public health research and interventions often dismisses the needs and substance use problems that exist among Asian populations. Purpose To propose a digitally based intervention for promoting safe substance use practices and incorporates social support, social media influence, accessibility, and de-stigmatization through a culturally sensitive lens for Asian college students. Methods We used the Theory of Planned Behavior to leverage the attitudes towards the behavior, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms for substance use behavior change, and this will be executed through a peer mentorship program, an online community discussion board, a social media campaign, and a curated list of resources. Discussion This proposed intervention hopes to encourage existing substance use interventions to integrate cultural sensitivity into their material and dismantle the xenophobic narratives of the model minority myth. It is critical for existing interventions to acknowledge how to become a more inclusive and accessible platform for Asian populations, and evaluate these intervention strategies through the common risk factors that are specific to this population.
CONTROLLED COLLABORATION IN ORGANIZATIONS: THE ROLE OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT, PERFORMANCE AND TRUST
Authors: KEMİKKIRAN Nurcan , KIZRAK Meral
Published: November 2022

While the agency theory posits that the principal tries to gain maximum profits with the least costs and the agent acts in the interest of the principal only with control mechanisms, the stewardship theory argues that the agent is motivated to act in the interests of the principal therefore coordination mechanisms should be developed. While the absence of organizational control may lead to diversion from organizational goals, too much control may harm employees' autonomy, creativity, and innovation. On the other hand, when organizations over emphasize collaboration, a relational risk may occur in work processes. So the coexistence of control and collaboration creates a dilemma for organizations. In this study we argue how knowledge management, performance management and trust may contribute to the unity of control and collaboration in organizations and accordingly develop theoretical propositions.
Het evangelikalisme als de toekomst van een ‘illusie’?
Authors: Hak Durk
Published: November 2022

I conclude a) that the stage of religion Bellah in his evolutionary classification dubbed modern religion has resulted in secularization, unchurching, and unbelief, and b) concurring with Bellah that the soteriologies of both historic and early-modern Christianity are not satisfactory any longer to post-industrial Christians, as the belief in both salvation by a bookkeeping godhead and the pre-destination by a sovereign one has eroded. Instead of Bellah’s modern religion Evangelicalism appears to be truly modern: the believers’ voluntary decisions to accept Jesus Christ as their redeemer satisfies. Evangelicalism is seen as a family of denominations and congregations with a shared hard core consisting of a) the acceptance of Jesus Christ as saviour; b) personal conversion; c) to reach out to the world, and d) the bible as God’s word (‘inerrant in matters of faith and practice’). Apart from Evangelicalism, a ‘reformative’ reaction in historic and early-modern Christian denominations and congregations is observed; these ‘reformatives’ purport to restore the ancient orthodoxis and orthopraxis. Although Evangelicalism is supposed to be more instrumental to modern religious men’s needs for well-being than earlier variants of Christianity, i.e. has the greater adaptive capacity, we cannot yet foresee the consequences of further institutionalization and/or oligarchy formation in Evangelical denominations/congregations; neither can we predict the effects of the coming generations of evangelic academics and academic evangelical theologians.

Böjt és böjtszegés a reformkorban
Authors: Tengely Adrienn
Published: November 2022

A 19. század első felében az év napjainak majdnem felében, mintegy 150 napon valamilyen minőségi és mennyiségi étkezési korlátozás volt érvényben, vagyis szigorú böjtös vagy enyhébb absztinenciális napot kellett tartani a katolikus egyház előírásai szerint. Azonban ekkor már a felvilágosodás eszméinek elterjedése miatt és egyéb, gyakorlati okokból a hívek egyre jobban elhanyagolták a böjti elő­írásokat. A papság elsősorban a korabeli katolikus sajtóban küzdött a negatív tendencia ellen, a böjt üdvös hatásait hangsúlyozva, de ez már kevésnek bizonyult. Ezért 1848-ban már megjelent egy egészen más megoldási javaslat: a tervbe vett nemzeti zsinat előkészítő munkálatai során sokan javasolták, hogy inkább a böjtös napok számát kellene csökkenteni, azt remélve tőle, hogy így könnyítve a hívek terhein, kevésbé fogják azt megszegni. Azonban ennek alaposabb megtárgya­lására és esetleg életbe léptetésére már nem került sor.

Degree of Internationalization, Financial Structure and Cost of Capital: Evidence from Emerging Taiwan
Authors: Chang Ta-Cheng , Darcy John , Hou Yu-Ting , Yan Yun-Chia
Published: November 2022

The debt structure of companies in Developing and Emerging Economies (DEEs) is significantly different from that of companies in the developed countries. This study examines the effect of degree of internationalization (DOI) on leverage ratio (LEV) and cost of capital (COC) in DEE setting by using a sample of Taiwan listed companies.  Our results show that DOI has a significant positive impact on short-term debt as well as a significant negative impact on long-term debt. Therefore, it appears that DOI has a substitution effect in DEE companies. In summary, our results indicate that DEE firms do not have the advantage of participating in the international financial market.
Truth-Telling and Trolls: Trolling, Political Rhetoric in the Twenty-First Century, and the Objectivity Norm
Authors: Lieback Hedwig
Published: November 2022

Trolling has received increasing scholarly attention both as an online phenomenon and as an allegedly new strategy of political communication. This article moves trolling out of the digital realm and applies ‘trolling theory’ to political communication by well-known and influential figures on the political front stage. To establish consistency between the online and the offline phenomenon, this paper will focus on a (broadly defined) style of political communication that seems to focus more on provoking outrage, establishing itself as speaking from an outsider position to defend free speech to counter an allegedly totalitarian opponent, and to trigger political sensitivities of opponents and thus cause outrage on ‘the other side.’ Contrary to the vast majority of trolling research that simply dismisses trolling as ‘antisocial,’ ‘nonnormative’ behavior, I argue that trolling in contemporary politics gains effectiveness by reproducing some of the patterns of ‘objective communication’ on a discursive and an emotional level. Political trolling embraces the notion of a universal truth, with the speakers often branding themselves as ‘disinterested’ and thus not emotionally involved and incorruptible, thereby gaining credibility by pointing to their position as discursive outsiders. When trolling rhetoric succeeds and the trolls’ claims are met with outrage by the people the trolls deem to be totalitarian and censors of free speech, the speakers can downgrade their opponents as weak, biased, emotionally involved and thus necessarily illegitimate, gaining a superior position in the conversation.

Published: November 2022

Due to the emergence of the new coronavirus epidemic, people's attention has been paid to online shopping, and the achievements of live broadcast e-commerce are particularly impressive. Different from the traditional window-based e-commerce, the live e-commerce is separated from the limitation of the shopping platform and embedded into the content platforms such as short videos. This paper mainly discussed the influence of interactive marketing on consumers’ purchase intention. Starting from the concept of para-social interaction proposed by Horton and Wohl, this paper analysed the internal and external advantages and disadvantages of interactive marketing through SWOT method and gave corresponding development suggestions with Douyin as an example. This study concluded that the more para-social interaction, the more consumers trust the information provider, the more they can stimulate their purchase intention. Therefore, the interactive marketing model applied in Douyin platform has a significant positive impact on consumer purchase intention.

Analysis of The Impact of The Group Buying Talent Mode on Consumer’s Purchase Intention
Authors: Duan Yibo , Duan Yihui , Lu Fangyu
Published: November 2022

Group buying talent is a new mode of Internet group buying business in recent years. It usually occurs on media platforms such as short videos and uses celebrity influence to sell a large number of goods. This study aimed to explore the influential factors on consumers' purchase intention. This paper applied and further developed the celebrity endorsement theory, increases the situation of Internet sales on the basis of the study of various factors of this theory, and enriches its impact on consumers. Finally, SWOT was used for case analysis and combined with theory to provide suggestions. Through the research, the following results can be obtained. The group buying talent model that takes advantage of the celebrity could increase the wishes of consumers. However, this model did not test the professionalism of endorsement, so it may reduce consumer recognition. Therefore, consumers will indeed be attracted by such a model, but there may also be resistance. In this context, the specific impact of the group buying talent model will be discussed later.

Dynamic Changes in Prices of Gold and Silver during Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Authors: Li Xinshu
Published: November 2022

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has upraised the crude oil price and its volatility, which leads to fluctuations in its corresponding industries and markets. Existing literatures have studied the impact of the oil shock in many respects, and the precious metal market has significant responses to the unusual events, same for the Russia-Ukraine conflict. This paper studies the spot gold and silver’s price, return, and volatility with respect to the return and volatility of WTI, during the period of November 2021 to July 2022. The VAR model proved the lead-lag relation of the variables. Next, the impulse and response of gold and silver to crude oil show positive relations of the two metals to the increment in crude oil’s price. Then the author estimated the ARMA-GARCH model to detect the relationship of volatilities of crude oil to the two metals. The results show that the increasing crude oil price leads to growth in the metal’s return, and the silver’s volatility is more impacted by the crude oil’s fluctuation.
Enkät: Digitalt

Published: November 2022

Under hösten 2017 skickade TfL-redaktionen ut en enkät till ett fyrtiotal forskare, lärare, kritiker och kulturutredare verksamma i Sverige och bland annat Norge som på olika sätt intresserat sig för frågor om litteraturens förhållande till det digitala. Responsen var av olika skäl (tidsbrist var det mest anförda argumentet) mindre än väntat. Totalt fick vi in åtta svar. Utifrån en genussynvinkel är den manliga dominansen slående, vilket emellertid inte kan sägas bero på att kvinnliga forskare, lärare och kritiker inte intresserat sig för dessa frågor. Men oaktat att svarsfrekvensen på enkäten inte var lika hög som vi på förhand trott och hoppats på – samt den i sammanhanget olyckliga genus asymmetrin – var de svar som vi trots allt fick in desto mer initierade. De frågor vi ställde var medvetet formulerade så att de skulle kunna möjliggöra en rad olika ingångar för de tillfrågade att reflektera över digitaliseringens betydelser för litteraturen i stort, men även för den litteraturvetenskapliga forsknings- och undervisningspraktiken:

1. Vad har digitaliseringen haft för betydelser när det gäller produktionen, konsumtionen och distributionen av litteratur?

2. Vad har den digitala utvecklingen bidragit med när det gäller den litteraturvetenskapliga forskningspraktikens och undervisningens innehåll och former – och vad kan den bidra med i framtiden?

Foreign Influences and Localization: The Evolution of Korean Music Through History
Authors: Krishna Keya
Published: November 2022

Korean music has a distinct history and characteristics that can be traced back centuries. Over the years, while Korea has maintained its cultural identity through years of struggle and oppression, its engagements with neighboring countries and foreign occupying powers have had a lasting and syncretic impact on its musical evolution. This journey has been shaped by a number of social, political, and historical factors, including national pride, extensive foreign presence through most of the twentieth century, governmental concerns over the preservation of Korean authenticity in music, the development of global music markets, and a dynamic domestic youth culture. Throughout, Korean music has been able to preserve its unique characteristics while accepting a high level of foreign musical influence. It has conquered large domestic and global audiences by generating new musical styles through a complex and divergent mix of imitation and localization of foreign influences while continuously reverting to and maintaining Korean authenticity.
