Two–Stage Instrumental Variables Identification of Polynomial Wiener Systems with Invertible Nonlinearities
Authors: Janczak Andrzej , Korbicz Józef
Published: October 2019

A new two-stage approach to the identification of polynomial Wiener systems is proposed. It is assumed that the linear dynamic system is described by a transfer function model, the memoryless nonlinear element is invertible and the inverse nonlinear function is a polynomial. Based on these assumptions and by introducing a new extended parametrization, the Wiener model is transformed into a linear-in-parameters form. In Stage I, parameters of the transformed Wiener model are estimated using the least squares (LS) and instrumental variables (IV) methods. Although the obtained parameter estimates are consistent, the number of parameters of the transformed Wiener model is much greater than that of the original one. Moreover, there is no unique relationship between parameters of the inverse nonlinear function and those of the transformed Wiener model. In Stage II, based on the assumption that the linear dynamic model is already known, parameters of the inverse nonlinear function are estimated uniquely using the IV method. In this way, not only is the parameter redundancy removed but also the parameter estimation accuracy is increased. A numerical example is included to demonstrate the practical effectiveness of the proposed approach.
‘Cenoceras islands’ in the Blue Lias Formation (Lower Jurassic) of West Somerset, UK: nautilid dominance and influence on benthic faunas
Authors: Evans David H. , King Andy H.
Published: October 2019

Substantial numbers of the nautilid Cenoceras occur in a stratigraphically limited horizon within the upper part of the Lower Jurassic (Sinemurian Stage) Blue Lias Formation at Watchet on the West Somerset Coast (United Kingdom). Individual nautilid conchs are associated with clusters of encrusting organisms (sclerobionts) forming ‘islands’ that may have been raised slightly above the surrounding substrate. Despite the relatively large numbers of nautilid conchs involved, detailed investigation of their preservation suggests that their accumulation reflects a reduction in sedimentation rates rather than an influx of empty conches or moribund animals. Throughout those horizons in which nautilids are present in relative abundance, the remains of ammonites are subordinate or rare. The reason for this unclear, and preferential dissolution of ammonite conchs during their burial does seem to provide a satisfactory solution to the problem.
On KCN treatment effects on optical properties of Si-based bilayers
Authors: Müllerová Jarmila , Pinčík Emil , Králik Martin , Holá Michaela , Takahashi Masao , Kobayashi Hikaru
Published: October 2019

In this paper we report results from optical transmittance spectroscopy complemented with data from Raman scattering measurements to determine optical properties of two series of silicon based bilayers deposited by PECVD on glass substrate (intrinsic a-Si:H/p-type a-SiC:H and n-type mc-Si:H/intrinsic a-Si:H). These samples represent segments of common p-i-n thin film amorphous silicon solar cells with intrinsic hydrogenated silicon (a-Si:H) as the solar absorber. The members of the series differ by the KCN treatment conditions. Dispersive and absorptive optical properties – refractive indices, absorption coefficients and optical band gaps were determined from transmittance spectra. Each bilayer was considered as one effective thin film the optical properties of which can be regarded as effective optical properties of the bilayer structure. After KCN treatments refractive indices were modified probably due to the structural changes of bilayers. Moreover the effect of the solvent used in KCN solutions was recognized. Optical band gaps calculated either by the Tauc procedure or determined as iso-absorption levels were found to be only slightly KCN treatment dependent.

Published: October 2019

The study demonstrates that resistivity of an alumina wafer is highly sensitive to trace concentrations of acetone vapors at room temperature. Though, a thermal pretreatment is necessary to precede the room-temperature sensing of acetone vapors, whilst the sensitiveness increases with the pretreatment temperature. This advocates the alumina being suitable for an adequate acetone sensor in the ppm range. A plausible mechanism of the response is discussed.

Authors: Pai Sivakami A.
Published: October 2019

Background:

Radiation retinopathy is a chronic, gradually progressive retinal microangiopathy that can occur with variable latency after exposure to radiation of head and neck. Nasophargeal carcinoma is a frequent head and neck tumor of the south-East Asian countries.

Case Presentation:

A 54-year old Asian male presented with decreased vision for 2 years in left eye. He had diffuse cystoid macular edema, retinal hemorrhages, exudates, and telangiectatic vessels. In the right eye, he had focal macular edema, exudates, and micro-aneurysm. He had undergone external beam radiation for nasopharyngeal carcinoma 32 years ago. He was treated with several injections of Anti-vascular endothelial growth factors elsewhere for persistent macular edema secondary to vein occlusion in the left eye, and had fewer response.

Conclusion:

The chronic maculopathy responded to treatment with intra vitreal sustained-release dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex®) and laser photo coagulation.

Published: October 2019

O presente artigo aborda uma nova forma de conceber o conceito de Patrimônio Cultural, a partir da Fenomenologia. Posteriormente, apresenta parte dos resultados de pesquisa defendidos na tese de doutorado que teve como estudo de caso a cidade de Sabará, no estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Partindo da visão tripartida do homem - como corpo, alma e espírito - cultura e valor são categorizados como espirituais, ou seja, como parte da faceta mais elevada da existência humana. Sendo assim, o patrimônio, para ser cultural, é preciso se relacionar com o homem em seu estágio mais elevado, de modo a atuar como um bem de formação, que tem papel transformador e humanizador. Buscou-se, em pesquisa a totalidade da cidade de Sabará, identificar os patrimônios culturais realmente existentes, isso quer dizer, aqueles que representam a valoração afetiva dos moradores. Nem todos os bens tombados, ou seja, oriundos de um processo de valorização patrimonial, estão inseridos no mundo espiritual dos moradores da cidade. Portanto, catalogamos três tipos de patrimônios culturais: ativos, invisíveis e excluídos.
Does Mandatory Ifrs Adoption and Macroeconomic Factors Affect Cost of Equity Capital? Empirical Evidence From South African Listed Firms
Authors: Michael Yeboah  , Andrast Akacs
Published: October 2019

Purpose: This paper investigates the collaboration of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted and macroeconomic variables interaction with information asymmetry, analysts following and managerial opportunism affecting the cost of equity capital, and also influence investor’s decision taking on companies in South Africa.

Design/Approach: A sample of 49 listed Johannesburg mining and manufacturing firms was extracted from archival database of INET BFA/IRESS SA, Morningstar, and Anupedia. A leverage fixed effects panel data set of firms from 2001 to 2014 was examined, which shows that Breusch-Lagrange Multiplier tests and the test of over-identifying restrictions used, form the basis of the content analysis of the most recent IFRS effect after mandatory adoption. We used a hand-collected dataset between 2000 and 2015.

Findings: Our findings suggest that a signiﬁcant association is found between IFRS and its interactions with managerial opportunism and integrity but with a reasonable statistical effect.  However, the IFRS adoption effect on the cost of equity capital of South African firms’ has no significant effect.

Practical implications: This study reveals that most firms report more, the credibility of annual financial statements which may not be sufﬁcient because of the qualitative data for an assessment of managerial opportunism, information asymmetry and analysts following.  Of such myopia of company managers, their reputation causes agency problems and as a result, shareholders interest is mainly focused on improving reporting standards

Originality: The research considers dual harmonizing facets: ﬁrst, that the interaction with IFRS adoption and economic factors impact on the cost of equity capital may be so pathetic and obvious; and second, that IFRS moderation impacts on the cost of equity capital in Sub- Saharan African. This finding should be meaningful to managers, analysts, policymakers, and supervisory bodies in nations with similar capital structure decisions and socioeconomic systems.

Published: October 2019

There are two objectives of this study, first,it is to examine and compare the accounting quality in pre-and post-implementations IFRS from the viewpoint of investors. Second ,is to identify the differences in the accounting quality between the shariah compliant and non-shariah compliant companies in pre-and post-implementations of IFRS. Using  2169 firm-year observations from firms listed on the Bursa Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange over the period of 2008  to 2016, the result shows that the implementation of MFRS have reduced the firms’ earnings management. However, this study provides new arguments that Shariah-complaints firms in Malaysia do not necessary have greater incentives to report high-quality reporting based on the investor perspectives.  Our evidence thus help to explains the different impact on IFRS adoption on accounting quality in Malaysia and shariah complaint compnaies.

One of cognitive abilities of students that should be trained and developed in the 21st century learning is high-level thinking skills. As higher order thinking skills are emerging trend in education, assessment instruments based on high order thinking skills (HOTS) principles are required. This study aims to develop a high-level thinking ability instrument for Physics subject of senior high schools which is intended to measure HOTS of senior high school students for Thermodynamic Materials in City of Nganjuk in East Java. The study was conducted in three stages, including initial development, trials, and measurement. The initial development stage included compilation, review, and validation, including content validation by experts. There are two sets questions A and B, consisting 20 questions respectively, with anchor items as much as 5 items. The measurement results show that HOTS-oriented test kits of Thermodynamics have obtained empirical evidence are suitable with partial credit model. The difficulty level of the test battery is in the range of -2.0 to +2.0, with the most difficult aspects in the sequence are analyzing, evaluating, and creating. The reliability of HOTS-oriented tests has met the high categorical requirements, and based on the total information function of the tests, it is appropriately used to measure the HOTS of learners with capability -2.3 to +1.6. Based on students’ responses, the analysis ability is the highest skills followed by the ability to evaluate and create. HOTS-oriented tests developed can be used as the reference for the teachers to accommodate student’s higher order thinking skills.
The VIP patient syndrome in Latin America is known as “The recommended patient syndrome” a tale of unfortunate decisions and complications.
Authors: Nuñez Campos Daniel Mauricio , Villamil Núñez Liliana , Gómez Acevedo Oscar Libardo , Peña Pineda María Camila
Published: October 2019

When a VIP patient or a patient who has an economic, social or family relationship with the doctors who treat them, arrive to the ER there is a subtle risk of making unorthodox decisions, Also, wasting resources, breaking standards of care and in the lowest scenario causing unintended complications to the patient.

Case Report: We report a 55-year-old patient related to a physician. She was admitted to the emergency room due to abdominal pain, on admission was suspected appendicitis versus abdominal mass, an abdominal CT scan with contrast was performed and she developed an allergic reaction due to the contrast, she required intubation that was complicated with selective intubation and a massive atelectasis. After removal the orotracheal tube she presented fentanyl toxicity and finally after discharge developed post-traumatic stress.

Conclusion: in LA (Latin America) this syndrome is an entity that exists, has been little described and in our knowledge has never been quantified. Patients are victims of multiple non-malicious complications, which originate in the desire of their health team trying to provide a closer, faster and more personalized attention outside of the guidelines of treatment. Ethical principles and prevention should be strengthened through an adequate clinical history and a detailed physical examination to avoid this event.
An Analysis of Research Productivity in Saudi Arabia and Iran
Authors: Ahmed Mushtaq Ahmed Younus , Mohamad Diah Nurazzura
Published: October 2019

Aim/Purpose: Education is vital as it is a major investment in human capital. Tertiary education, in particular, contributes to the growth of knowledge and advances skills, which helps in the development of a country. This paper aims to look at the research and technological output at the tertiary level in Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Background: Saudi Arabia and Iran have an aspiration for leadership in the Islamic world and have been fighting for regional domination. Providing an overview of their tertiary education in these countries could be used to understand where the countries stand in their social and economic aspirations, especially when their economies move from oil to knowledge-based.

Methodology: To achieve the objective of the study, qualitative thematic analysis was done on secondary data extracted from the official websites of Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the World Bank and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

Contribution: The data suggest that Iran has a higher research output and development at the tertiary level than Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia needs to focus on its research output to achieve its social and economic aspiration to move to a knowledge economy.

Findings: The findings reveal that while Iran has a much larger tertiary system than Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia spends a higher percentage of its GDP on education (5.14%) than Iran (2.92%) and has a higher student-instructor ratio (19.85%) than Iran (15.26%). Despite less investment in education, Iran has published more articles (38,299) and filed more patents (14,279) than Saudi Arabia, which has fewer published articles (15,509) and patents filed (2406).

Le BCBG et les classes sociales en France
Authors: Fredricka Clarissa Rebecca , Miranda Airin
Published: October 2019

This article examines the fashion style dress known by

the name of Bon Chic Bon Genre (BCBG) (or “preppy”) developed by the

Bourgeois in France after the oil crisis in 1979. This fashion style

reflects the social status of the group of persons who were members of the

highest social class in France at the time. The BCBG was born in the

middle-class community who wants to separate from other social classes

through manifestations of the values of this group. The goal is

to present the BCBG not only as a style of clothing but also the values

as the Bourgeois lifestyle. The details in the BCBG fashion style will be

analyzed using the semiotics of Roland Barthes. He explained that clothes

are the "signifiants" and the style or fashion

are the "signifiés" to find the "myth" that connects the signs that show the link between the

style of clothing with the bourgeois lifestyle. The results show that the

Bourgeois distinguish to determine its position or stand within the

company in France; and it is in a higher position than others. This

distinction of the Bourgeois will be examined using the theory of the

distinction of Pierre Bourdieu, which is a concept of the segregation of the dominant as a step to establish their position and distinguish their values

of others.
La politesse de la requête des locuteurs natifs du français : quelles stratégies, quelles modifications?
Authors: Syahrin Elvi , Ratna Ratna
Published: October 2019

Politeness is culture-specific and context sensitive. Usually, speakers of a language community acquire strategies of politeness from their ongoing discussions with each other in daily life. That is why what is polite in a community can be considered rude in another and what is polite in a particular context could be rude in another. This article offers a particularly pragmatic study on the politeness of the speech acts of query. This study examines the politeness of the request strategies carried out by French native speakers. Participated by 10 native speakers as referees, it examines the politeness according to the encoding scheme developed in Cross-Cultural Speech Act Realization Project (CCSARP) (Blum-Kulka, House, & Kasper, 1989) modified by Warga (2005). Using Discourse Completion Test (DCT) for data collection, this research, at the same time, focuses on the internal change of request adapted by Jin Ah (2012). It consists of 6 situations selected conversations of Reiter (2000). Social variables corresponding to 3 systems of politeness of Scollon and Scollon (2001) also became the basis of the analysis in this study. The results of our research have shown that French native speakers tend to make their request for conventional indirect strategy by the use of the interrogative sentence. The sub-strategy which was used is question on a condition of success dominated by the question on the ability. While most of the internal changes to show politeness is the use of the conditional mode. These findings could have implications for the learners of French as foreign language, teachers, authors of textbooks, syllabus designers and researchers.

They immigrated in France for several reasons such as work, education, quality of life, etc. As they are minority, they suffer from discrimination as experienced also Jews, Black people, Gay, and other minority communities. This tension attributed to the Muslim has increased after the Iraqi revolution, the case of Salman Rushdie, and the 9/11 phenomenon in the United States. These events show that the phenomenon of Islamophobia is changing French society. The most shocking tragedy happened in 2015 and 2016 when terrorists slaughtered more than 200 people in Paris and Nice. We assume that the media should give calm to society compared to the tragedy. But in truth it also diffuses the discourse speech of Islamophobia by using negative words, as jihadists, attributed to Muslim. Using the framing discourse analysis of Robert M. Entman, our research speaks of discourse of three French media reporting the terrorist attack in Paris and Nice. We assume that the majority of French Media uses negative words to diminish the image ofradical Islam who will grow up in the Middle-East countries. In addition, they show that Islamism in France is not the same with that of the terrorist
