A Bibliometric study on Industry 4.0
Authors: Silveira Gontijo Tiago , Motta Alves Fabiana Alexandra
Published: December 2019

Understanding the scientific production  evolution of a certain area of knowledge is fundamental to capture its development and facilitate its dissemination. Thus, this paper presents a bibliometric study on Industry 4.0. For that, the metadata of 1382 publications, which were published, between the years of 2013 and 2017, in vehicles indexed to the Web of Science are analyzed. The results found that the research on Industry 4.0 came from several countries and that Germany leads the ranking of country publications by having published 462 of the 1382 publications on Industry 4.0. It should be noted that currently the most recurring words in scientific publications on Industry 4.0 are: "big data"; "it was"; "Review"; "Opportunity" and "smart manufacturing", that is, they represent the trends and the main objects of interest on the topic today.
Order of the Magic Lantern Slides
Authors: Widmer Alexandra
Published: December 2019

Dr Sylvester Lambert, an American public health doctor who worked for the International Health Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, created a magic lantern slide presentation to retell the arrest of a sorcerer that he had witnessed in 1925 on the island of Malakula in Vanuatu. In this article, I use creative non-fiction to envision other audiences and narrators of this storied event to present an expanded picture of life for Pacific Islanders at that time. I also reflect on how particular events make for good stories because they are contests about belief and incredulity. Reimagining medical stories of sorcery reminds us that medicine is part of larger contests over the nature of reality. This is an imaginative ethnographic experiment with decolonizing intentions which combines archival research, ethnographic research, colonial images and creative non-fiction. It aspires to untie the images from a single fixed colonial narrative and to revisit the images in ways that are open to multiple interpretations, audiences, and narrators.
NGO-Research Collaborations and Conflicts
Authors: Reinke Amanda
Published: December 2019

Ethnographers collaborating with NGOs and non-profits while simultaneously researching their organizational structure, practices, and beliefs about service, advocacy, and activism face myriad challenges. However, collaboration – as it exists in a dialectical relationship between stakeholders working towards common goals – may also generate ethnographic insights that add to anthropological knowledge of NGOs. According to Lassiter (2005a, 2005b), researchers undertaking collaborative ethnography have four commitments: (1) ethical responsibilities to stakeholders; (2) honesty/transparency about research; (3) accessible writing; and (4) collaborative reading, writing, and interpretation. Collaborations may be interrupted at various points, but especially where bureaucratic structures and operations intervene. For example, agreements and documentation (e.g., memoranda of understanding, or MOUs) often challenge the interests and affect of collaborative work. In this article I draw on five years of collaborative NGOgraphy, Lassiter’s conceptualization of collaborative ethnography, and respond to Hymes’ (1972) call for a personal ethnography, in order to discuss the challenges and opportunities of NGO-researcher collaboration.

Published: December 2019

This piece is a lightly edited transcript of a conversation with members of the Karrabing Film Collective – Lorraine Lane, Linda Yarrowin, Cecilia Lewis, Sandra Yarrowin, and anthropologist Elizabeth Povinelli – interviewed by anthropologists Melinda Hinkson and David Boarder Giles. The Karrabing Film Collective are a community of Indigenous Australians and their whitefella collaborators who make films that analyse and represent their contemporary lives and also keep their country alive by acting on it. This conversation appeared first as Episode Eighteen of Conversations in Anthropology@Deakin, a podcast about ‘life, the universe, and anthropology’ based at Deakin University and produced by Giles and Timothy Neale, with support from the Faculty of Arts and Education at Deakin University, and in association with the American Anthropological Association.
‘Life of Lola’: A commentary on graphic anthropology
Authors: Herbst Pauline
Published: December 2019

In this paper I present an ethnographic comic that illustrates two points: the social life of diagnosis following newborn screening for the metabolic disorder MCADD, and the concept of ‘shadow habitus’ in relation to chronic illness. I then deconstruct and interrogate the process of creation behind the comic, asking what this reveals about knowledge creation and ethnographic practice. Using a three-part framework, I argue that a graphic narrative can show complex theoretical concepts in medical anthropology, that it is collaborative and relational, and that it is a tool for thinking critically through and about ethnography. I use this example to show how graphic anthropology opens and makes accessible new ways of thinking and framing illness, health and dis-ease – to ourselves, to our peers and to a non-academic audience.
Family Stories and Family Secrets
Authors: Fivush Robyn , McAnally Helena , Reese Elaine
Published: December 2019

Families preserve and rewrite history in ways that pass on to the next generation a sense of family history based on what is known and what cannot be told. In this paper, we analyze New Zealand European adolescents’ stories about their parents’ childhood, exploring how these young people tell and do not tell family stories shrouded in secrecy. We identify three major ways in which families express secrets across the generations—through collusion, through confusion, and through whole-family secrets—and discuss the implications of each of these family practices for the preservation of family history.
Indigenous Mobilities: Across the Antipodes and Beyond
Authors: Loader Arini
Published: December 2019

Fittingly published on the eve of Tuia 250, Indigenous Mobilities urges us to think harder and with much more depth about the precise nature of colonial contact with Indigenous peoples and settlement on Indigenous land in the antipodes. Given our geographic proximity, the 200 or so year history of Māori in Australia and our entwined if equally divergent political history, it is surprising that scholarship taking in both the Australian and New Zealand contexts does not appear more frequently. Indeed, it is notable how often Aboriginal Australia is not brought into conversation with New Zealand Māori histories, experiences and aspirations. A welcome addition to scholarship which actively seeks Indigenous–Indigenous connection and recognition of our shared region, Indigenous Mobilities asks what happens when we read Māori and Aboriginal mobility alongside each other. The picture that emerges is a richly hued canvas of lives fully lived and places fully inhabited against a backdrop of colonial oppression.
Soldiers, Scouts and Spies: A Military History of the New Zealand Wars 1845–1864
Authors: O'Malley Vincent
Published: December 2019

Military historian Cliff Simons says one of the inspirations for Soldiers, Scouts and Spies was “hearing a well-known Pākehā host on national radio vehemently declare that ‘Māori never lost a battle’” during the New Zealand Wars (21). At its launch, fellow military historian Richard Taylor described the new book as a “watershed publication” that marked a new era in research on the New Zealand Wars, supplanting the allegedly flawed work of James Belich.[i] It is a bold claim to make for a history of the role of military intelligence in some (but not all) of the conflicts fought between 1845 and 1864, especially given the omission of all of the wars fought after that date through until 1872. Simons himself makes some further claims for the work, suggesting that his own background as an officer in the New Zealand Army gives him special insights into the wars not available to other historians and writers from a non-military background.

Indigenous Peoples and the State - International Perspectives on the Treaty of Waitangi
Authors: Te Aho Linda
Published: December 2019

Just over thirty years ago, in the High Court decision Huakina Development Trust v Waikato Valley Authority, Justice Chilwell famously stated: “There can be no doubt that the Treaty is part of the fabric of New Zealand society”.[1] At a symposium celebrating 30 years of the Huakina decision, Tom Bennion described the judgment as “a marker, a significant new structure sticking out in the legal landscape, indicating the shape of arguments to come.”  This collection of work brings together a range of arguments for our time as to the meaning and importance of the Treaty of Waitangi shaped by different perspectives as to its context and history. 

 

[1] [1987] 2 NZLR 188, at 210. As a result of that case, the Treaty is now part of the context in which legislation which impinges upon its principles is to be interpreted, even where a statute is silent as to the Treaty or its principles.
Dead Letters: Censorship and Subversion in New Zealand 1914–1920
Authors: Wood Katie
Published: December 2019

“Archivist by day and labour historian by night” Jared Davidson combines his complementary occupations to bring us Dead Letters: Censorship and Surveillance in New Zealand 1914–1920, an engaging book that uses the intimacy of surveillance records to explore broader historical themes of wartime state control and resistance. Davidson places his work in the tradition of “history from below,” and this book achieves some of the best qualities of that tradition; the detailed personal histories bring to life characters that may otherwise have been forgotten, but who are in fact connected to transnational webs of communication and migration of people, political ideas, organisations, and bureaucracies of surveillance and control.
All the Juicy Pastures: Greville Texidor and New Zealand
Authors: Bluemel Kristin
Published: December 2019

If you type the name Greville Texidor into a Wikipedia search bar, you may be asked if you mean instead ‘grevillea teodor’. Alternatively, you’ll be redirected to biographical websites for Maurice Duggan, one of postwar New Zealand’s most famous short story writers, or Kendrick Smithyman, editor of Greville Texidor’s volume of selected fiction, In Fifteen Minutes You Can Say a Lot. To learn anything about Greville Texidor herself, you need to read All the Juicy Pastures: Greville Texidor and New Zealand, by Wellington-based writer Margot Schwass. Beautifully written, deeply researched, richly illustrated, this critical biography addresses the question of why we should care about the career of a woman writer born in England in 1902, who died by her own hand in Australia in 1964, and who in her lifetime published only seven short stories, a post- Spanish Civil War novella called These Dark Glasses, a few translations of Lorca poems, and a smattering of other non-fiction pieces. Schwass also tackles the question of why we should care about Greville Texidor as a New Zealand writer.

Editor's Introduction
Authors: Green Anna , Hamilton Paula
Published: December 2019

This thematic issue of the journal was conceived during a symposium at Victoria University of Wellington in November 2018 on the theme of ‘The Family as Mnemonic Community’. At the symposium, funded through a New Zealand Marsden grant for the project ‘The Missing Link’, a group of international and multidisciplinary researchers shared their investigations into family memory and discussed four broad questions:

- what kinds of stories or information do families pass down the generations?

- how are family stories about the past transmitted, remembered, and received?

- why do family memories and stories about the past matter in the present?

- and what are the advantages and disadvantages of different scholarly approaches?

 

Five out of six of the authors in this issue presented papers at the symposium, and their articles are revised or reconceptualised for publication here. The remaining author was invited to submit a paper once we scoped out the majority of submissions and decided on the shape of the volume.

Slovak Airports As Profit/Loss Making Entities: Consequences For Transport Policies
Authors: Novák Sedláčková Alena , Švecová Denisa , Tomová Anna
Published: December 2019

Regional airports in the European Union have been studied in several papers so far, however, not delivering a lot of knowledge of airports as profit/loss making entities. In the paper, we focus on the Slovak airports which are typical representatives of regional airports in the EU.  As there is the knowledge gap in the field of airports in newer member countries of the EU, we explain the specific socio-economic context of the airports in the Slovak Republic against a background of their financial ratios. Our findings are suggestive of the need to set a clear dividing line and interface between national airport policies of member countries of the EU and the EU common airport policy.

Published: December 2019

This year 2019 has been 148 years since the founding of the Real Sociedad Española de Historia Natural (RSEHN). Many scientists and those interested in natural history have belonged to the Society, including the Spanish Nobel laureates Santiago Ramón y Cajal and Severo Ochoa. Some collaborated by sending their scientific contributions to the journals, others with their work in the different Boards and Commissions, all with their financial support. Without all, and each of them, the RSEHN would not be about to reach the century and a half of existence. In this paper pays tribute to 148 of these members of society. Members of the RSEHN who maintained their stay for more than four decades. Este año 2019 se han cumplido 148 años de la fundación de la Real Sociedad Española de Historia Natural (RSEHN). Desde entonces, muchos científicos e interesados en la historia natural han pertenecido a la Sociedad, incluidos los premios Nobel españoles Santiago Ramón y Cajal y Severo Ochoa. Algunos colaboraron enviando contribuciones científicas a las revistas, otros con su trabajo en las diferentes Juntas y Comisiones, todos con su apoyo económico. Sin todos, y cada uno de ellos, la Sociedad no estaría a punto de alcanzar el siglo y medio de existencia. En este trabajo se rinde homenaje a 148 de estos socios. Socios que no pertenecieron al núcleo de los fundadores, por ser –precisamente– a los que generalmente hemos prestado mayor atención, sino a 148 personas que mantuvieron su permanencia en la Sociedad durante un largo periodo de tiempo, como mínimo cuatro décadas, y que ya no están entre nosotros.
Anizocoria – a diagnostic challenge. Case report
Authors: Stęga Marta Sophie S , Choiński Wojciech , Puliński Michał
Published: December 2019

ntroduction
Anisocoria is a condition characterized by unequal pupils. There are two described types: physiologic and pathologic. Pathologic anisocoria is caused by interruption in reflex arc. Reason of anisocoria can be difficult to define due to variety of possible diseases that may be causing it.
Aim
Case presentation of anisocoria caused by congenital cystic lesions of the brain.
Case Study
12-year-old girl after head trauma was admitted to the Emergency Department due to anisocoria noticed by family doctor. Patient had headache, sleepiness, dizziness and lacrimation. After looking at patients’ childhood photo it was stated, that anisocoria was present before the injury. In physical examination decreased mobility of left eyeball, left-sided ptosis and left-sided decreased reaction to the light (both, direct and consensual) were noted. Head CT scan was performed, which revealed bilateral cystic lesions in basal ganglia, thalamus and in mesencephalon. The biggest lesions were located in left thalamus – 29x15mm. Biopsy of the biggest cyst was performed. No neoplastic tissue was found. Final diagnosis was stated: diencephalic and mesencephalic polycyclic lesions of unknown origin. Surgical approach was departed and conservative treatment was applied (regular head MRI scans)
Results and discussion
Described case report was an example of diagnostic difficulties which can be caused by anisocoria. In this case pathologic anisocoria was caused by congenital cystic lesions of the brain that were detected in the age of 12.
Conclusions
Anisocoria can be a sign of many different pathologies, but also can be physiologic. If pathologic anisocoria is suspected, imaging diagnostics should always be performed.
Serum isoniazid concentration in the patients as an indicator of the effectiveness and toxicity of tuberculosis treatment
Authors: Antonenko Petro B. , Antonenko Kateryna O. O. , Kresyun Valentin I. , Żuk Olga , Lobashova Kateryna G.
Published: December 2019

Introduction
The low serum concentration of the anti-tuberculosis (TB) drugs in TB patients is observed quite often, but the significance of this phenomenon remains controversial.
Aim
The aim of the presented research was to clarify the association between isoniazid concentration and TB-treatment outcomes.
Material and methods
Blood samples were obtained from 86 patients with newly diagnosed pulmonary TB at Odessa Regional TB Hospital in 2015. The level of isoniazid in blood was measured 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, and 24 h after the administration of isoniazid. The medical records of the enrolled patients at the beginning and at the end of the in-patient treatment, and the activity of the biochemical indices were considered.
Results and discussion
At the end of the in-patient treatment in patients with a serum isoniazid concentration of more than 2 µg/mL (HIC), 4 h after the drug administration, the resorption of TB infiltrates in lungs occurred 1.3 times more frequently than in patients with an isoniazid concentration of less than 2 µg/mL (LIC). According to the culture method, the smear conversion occurred 3.1 times more often in patients with HIC than in the LIC ones. A positive correlation was found between the isoniazid serum level with the bilirubin level, thymol probe, and the AsAT activity, which proved the higher risk of hepatotoxicity in patients with HIC.
Conclusions
Thus, the measurement of the isoniazid concentration after 4 h of isoniazid administration can predict the outcome of the TB-treatment. It is postulated that the recommended concentration of isoniazid in blood 4 h after its administration > 2 µg/mL.

Introduction
The incidence of gastric ulcers in patients with abdominal stoma is high and affects the quality of patients’ life.
Aim
To evaluate the effect of Adib herbal ointment containing chamomile rose, black nightshade origin versus Comfeel and Conveen ointments on the skin of abdominal stoma.
Material and methods
This is a clinical study in which the volunteers were stoma patients. Study group consisted of 52 qualified subjects, 26 were included in the experimental group and 26 in the control group. A 2-part questionnaire was used for the data collection. The 1st part was demographic information. The 2nd part of the data collection was evaluated according to the pressure ulcer scale for healing (PUSH) tool, which used for examining skin ulcers around the stoma. P ≤ 0.05 was considered as a significant.
Results and discussion
The results of the Mann–Whitney test showed that between the mean score of the total score of the wound before intervention (P = 0.92) and on the 3rd day (P = 0.476), 6th (P = 0.222), 9th (P = 0.11) and 12th (P = 0.418), there was no significant difference between the control and test groups. Also, the Friedman test (intra-group) also showed that between the mean score of the total score of the wound before the intervention and the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 12th days in the control group (P = 0.0001) and in the experimental group (P = 0.0001) There was a significant statistical difference.
Conclusions
Based on the study, Adib herbal ointment could be recommended for the treatment of stoma to the skin as an herbal product as other common treatments.

Tercer Sector español ante la comunicación, el desarrollo y el cambio social
Authors: Ceballos-Castro Gonzalo
Published: December 2019

El objetivo de la presente investigación es mostrar las características y dificultades que encuentran las organizaciones del Tercer Sector españolas para la implementación de una Comunicación para el Desarrollo y el Cambio Social. Se presentan los resultados de la metodología del panel de expertos, realizado en 2016, a cinco organizaciones. Los resultados apuntan a que estas: 1) han sido permeables a la perspectiva participativa de este enfoque; 2) se encuentran con barreras externas e internas para su implementación; y 3) dialogan con redes locales y globales de cooperación y solidaridad. Las conclusiones muestran el carácter subsidiario en la introducción de este enfoque en España (Marí-Sáez, 2013) asumido por otros subcampos limítrofes y, a la vez, diferentes a esta perspectiva, como la Educación para el desarrollo; perfilan las estrategias para superar las barreras; y se detecta que la participación en redes actúa como fuente de experiencias y estrategias de esta perspectiva.

Elevated serum ferritin levels in the pediatric intensive care unit
Authors: Lee Suzie , Twilt Marinka , Parsons Simon J
Published: December 2019

Background:

  Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening inflammatory condition caused by dysregulation of the immune system. HLH can develop in children with a variety of underlying causes including genetic cause, infection, autoimmune diseases, malignancy, etc. The symptoms of HLH are often similar to other conditions such as bacterial sepsis or systemic inflammatory response syndrome. This is a problem as the similarities among those different diseases make it difficult for the doctors to diagnose HLH and this can possibly lead to a delay in treatment. 50-75% mortality is reported in patients with secondary HLH (non-inherited) who do not receive treatment. Elevated serum ferritin level, referred to as hyperferritinemia, is the most characteristic feature of HLH and may be helpful in diagnosing HLH apart from other illnesses. This research investigates the incidences of patients with elevated serum ferritin level at the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Alberta Children’s Hospital from 2014-2018 to gain a better understanding of HLH and hyperferritinemia.  

Objectives:

  The objectives of the study are i. identify diseases associated with hyperferritinemia on the PICU; ii. predict which PICU patient with hyperferritinemia is at risk to develop HLH during PICU admission; and iii. determine mortality risk in patients with hyperferritinemia and HLH at the PICU.

Methods:

This project is a retrospective chart review. A literature review was performed on the topic of hyperferritinemia and HLH, and relevant variables were identified for creating a Redcap database. Patient charts and medical records were examined for data collection of different elements including diagnosis, laboratory values, treatments, and survival status. Data of 91 patients who presented with hyperferritinemia in PICU from 2014 to 2018 is being examined.

Results:

Although this study is currently in progress, it is anticipated to provide insight into the features associated with hyperferritinemia and determine patients with hyperferritinemia who are at risk of developing HLH.

Conclusion:

Overall, the findings from this study may contribute to better understanding of hyperferritinemia and HLH in pediatric patients and contribute to decreasing mortality and morbidity of patients with hyperferritinemia and HLH.

Potensi Guru-guru Kabupaten Lombok Barat dalam Mengembangkan Profesinya melalui Penyusunan Karya Ilmiah
Authors: Rokhmat Joni , Herianto Edy , Wildan Wildan
Published: December 2019

Abstrak: Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan menelusuri potensi para guru dalam mengembangkan profesinya melalui penyusunan karya ilmiah dan memberi arahan dalam menyusun karya ilmiah. Pengabdian ini dilakukan dengan metode ceramah dan tanya jawab, serta latihan kerja (workshop) dan melibatkan 30 orang guru Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) di Kabupaten Lombok Barat. Hasil diskusi menunjukkan bahwa guru-guru tersebut sangat antusias mengikuti kegiatan tetapi sekalipun kegiatan ini bukan hal baru mayoritas masih belum memahami bagaimana penyusunan proposal, instrumen, hingga melaksanakan penelitian tindakan kelas, serta bagaimana menulis artikel ilmiah, khususnya artikel hasil penelitian. Sementara, hasil analisis angket menunjukkan bahwa semua peserta kegiatan pengabdian ini belum memiliki publikasi ilmiah sekalipun beberapa di antaranya sudah memerlukannya. Jadi pada dasarnya guru-guru tersebut berpotensi mengembangkan profesinya melalui penyusunan karya ilmiah. Sebagai kendala adalah belum mengetahui bagaimana menyusun karya ilmiah, serta tidak ada waktu karena beban kerja cukup masif. Terhadap kegiatan ini, mereka menyarankan agar kegiatan ini dilaksanakan secara rutin, sekali hingga dua kali dalam setahun pada tingkat sekolah hingga tingkat Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran (MGMP), termasuk perlunya menjalin kerjasama dengan perguruan tinggi. Kata kunci: pengabdian masyarakat, proposal penelitian, penelitian tindakan kelas,  artikel ilmiah
Tamización de síntomas de depresión, ansiedad prenatal y factores de riesgo psicosocial asociados en usuarias del servicio de control prenatal. Reflexiones en torno a la construcción del protocolo
Authors: Mojica-Perilla Mónica , Parra-Villa Yamilena , Osma Zambrano Sonia Esperanza
Published: December 2019

Introducción. En los últimos años, los problemas de salud mental durante el período prenatal se han convertido en un tema prioritario para el campo de la salud pública. A los efectos adversos que un estado de salud mental alterado representa para el bienestar de la madre y su descendencia se suma una debilidad de los sistemas de salud para dar respuesta a esta situación. En Colombia son aún inciertas las cifras de prevalencia de cualquier problema de salud mental durante la gestación, lo que dificulta la posibilidad de ofrecer una atención que considere las particularidades del contexto. El objetivo es diseñar un protocolo de tamización de depresión y ansiedad prenatal y factores de riesgo psicosocial asociados dirigido a usuarias del servicio de control prenatal de una institución hospitalaria del oriente colombiano. Metodología. La construcción del protocolo corresponde a un método formal de acuerdo a la clasificación realizada por el Ministerio de Protección Social de Colombia para las Guías de Práctica Clínica, incluye la revisión, síntesis y análisis de literatura sobre la ansiedad y la depresión prenatal (junto con los factores de riesgo psicosocial asociados) así como sobre las estrategias de detección y atención de las mismas. Esta revisión sirvió como base para la elaboración de una versión preliminar del protocolo que fue sometida a una revisión externa para verificar su validez, claridad y aplicabilidad, antes de proceder con el diseño de la versión final. Resultados. En concordancia con lo reportado en la literatura, el protocolo incluye la aplicación de instrumentos para la identificación de síntomas de ansiedad, depresión y factores de riesgo psicosocial asociados, tales como variables sociodemográficas (edad, nivel educativo, ocupación e ingresos económicos), el soporte social percibido y la calidad de la relación de pareja, antecedentes psicológicos y psiquiátricos personales y familiares, factores relacionados con el embarazo como complicaciones o experiencias negativas previas, características de personalidad y vivencia de eventos adversos y estresantes de la vida. Conclusiones. El protocolo da respuesta al vacío de identificación y atención a los problemas de salud mental de las gestantes.
Open Governance and Duality of Technology: The open data designer-user disconnect in the Philippines
Authors: Cruz Ruth Angelie , Lee Hong Joo
Published: December 2019

This paper builds on the data designer (government) and local data-user concepts in terms of “technological duality.” This model applies Orlikowski’s structurational model of technology that extends basic ideas about interactions of organizations and information communication technology (ICT). The model is supported by its application to multiple interpretative case studies of the Philippine Open Government initiative. It was evidenced that open government data as a technology is subjective—understood and interpreted inconsistently by the government and data users and therefore creates a disconnect between them. Based on the cases presented, it is proposed that a two-way open governance model will be a more effective approach in developing a truly open government. This reinforces the role of user-side stakeholders as they have the interest, expertise, and resources to utilize open data and can therefore build networks with more users within their respective fields that government initiatives may not be able to reach.
The Effects on Consumer Behavior of Hotel Related Comments on the TripAdvisor Website: An Istanbul Case
Authors: YILMAZ Emrah Sitki
Published: December 2019

In parallel with the major developments witnessed
in information technologies, social media, supported by its broad area of
usage, is gaining significance in every field, with the tourism sector being no
exception in this regard. The transfer of changing marketing strategies via
digital channels into social media has transformed the way customers interact
with the tourism sector, having now the ability to access the comments of other
consumers via social media, and adjusting their preferences accordingly. In
this study, the impact of the content analysis on the star rating given to
hotels is examined with a “Panel Data Analysis” of all the hotels in Istanbul
that have received a maximum of 25 reviews on the TripAdvisor website, with a
total of 12,000 comments assessed. It was found that the location of the hotel,
the access to transport facilities, the food and beverage concept, the quality
of staff/service, and the cleanliness of the facilities all affected the star
ratings given to hotels; while the architectural structure and the
recommendations of other guests had a lesser effect. It was further noted that
entertainment-animation programs had little effect on guest preferences.
Experimental realization of electromigration at high power for copper wires
Authors: MAHARİQ İbrahim , BERYOZKİNA Svetlana
Published: December 2019

The electromigration
phenomenon is a topical concern in all types of interconnects in power systems
for both low and high voltages, low and large power ranges, for instance, in
fabrication and manufacturing of Integrated Circuits, electronics of the power
modules, power grid interconnects etc. Due to distributed generation units, in
particular, renewable energy sources, which are commonly connected to already
existing infrastructures, the considered issues related to the electromigration
impact will result to a potential reduction of the electrical interconnection
failure risks. Thus, the design of the integrated systems has to perform at
highly efficient level with low probability of disconnections. The presented
study considers the effect of the electromigration in terms of the spatial
direction of the currents by observing directions of the sparks under certain
arrangements of copper wires’ connections. The experimental setup has been
developed in order to realize and observe the theoretical expectations. The
experimental results were conducted at around 500 A, and the corresponding
observations match theoretical expectations.

Published: December 2019

Thermomechanical perfection of intake and exhaust systems largely determine the efficiency of the working process of reciprocating engines (ICE). The article presents the results of numerical simulation and experimental study of the heat transfer of gas flows in profiled gas- air systems of ICEs. A description of the numerical simulation technique, experimental setup, configurations of the studied hydraulic systems, measuring base and features of the experiments are given. On the basis of numerical modeling, it has been established that the use of profiled sections with cross sections in the shape of a square or a triangle in exhaust systems of an ICEs leads to a decrease in the heat transfer coefficient by 5-11%. It is shown that the use of similar profiled sections in the intake system of reciprocating engines also leads to a decrease in the heat transfer coefficient to 10 % at low air flow rates (up to 40 m/s) and an increase in the heat transfer coefficient to 7% at high speeds. Experimental studies qualitatively confirm the simulation results.
Frequency-adjustable electric drive for energy saving and optimization of technological processes in electrical complexes
Authors: Ivanovа V. R. , Kiselev I. N.
Published: December 2019

The relevance of the study lies in the search for energy-saving technologies. So, at present, the most common type of electric drive in industry is asynchronous, most of which are unregulated. Replacing an unregulated electric drive with an adjustable one in various units can significantly reduce energy consumption, increase the life of the mechanical part of the drive and improve the quality of the adjustable process parameter. The replacement consists in installing an electronic frequency converter between the network and the motor of the device. This device changes the rotational speed of the motor rotor by changing the frequency and amplitude of the supply voltage. The most common are frequency converters with an intermediate DC link. Such devices are built on electronic keys, which are made on IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) transistors. Using the NI Multisim14 software, a model was created to determine power savings during the implementation of VFD.

The paper gives the rationale for the introduction of a frequency-controlled electric drive (VFD) to optimize technological processes in electrical complexes and systems, in particular, a complete analysis of the energy efficiency of VFD application in pumped water supply systems is presented as an example. The calculation of its economic efficiency for a particular installation is also given.
Lazurit winter wheat seeding rates in dependence to the predecessors and time of sowing in the Rostov region
Authors: Popov A. S.
Published: December 2019

The study is aimed at determining the optimal seeding rates for durum winter wheat Lazurit variety by various seeding dates that would provide the highest grain yield in the conditions of Rostov region. The research was carried out in 2016-2018 on ordinary chernozem after different predecessors for winter wheat (black fallow and sunflower). Studied were: the seeding rates (3 mln, 4 mln, 5 mln viable seeds per hectare after the black fallow predecessor; 5 mln, 6 mln ,7 mln viable seeds per hectare after the sunflower predecessor), and the sowing date (the 10th,20th,30th of September, the10th of October). It has been established that after the black fallow predecessor the seeding rate for durum winter wheat Lazurit variety can be reduced to 3 million viable seeds/ha on the early sowing date (September,10) and optimal sowing date (September, 20). When sowing at the end of optimal (September, 30) and acceptable (October,10) periods, the sowing rate must be 5 million viable seeds/ha. After the sunflower predecessor, on the early sowing date (September,10) and optimal sowing dates (September, 20 and 30) the sowing rate of 5 million viable seeds/ha should be used. At the end of acceptable periods (October,10) the sowing rate should be increased to 6 million viable seeds/ha. After the black fallow predecessor, the highest yield of durum winter wheat has been formed – from 4.61 to 6.06 t/ha depending on the sowing rate and time of sowing. After the sunflower predecessor the yield level ranged from 3.43 to 4.28 t/ha. The optimal sowing time for durum winter wheat Lazurit variety in the south of Rostov region has been established - from the 10th to the 30th of September. Sowing in this period provided the largest number of productive stems (after the black fallow predecessor – 476-568 pcs/m2, after the sunflower predecessor – 420-512 pcs/m2), the grain mass per ear (1.21-1.36g and 0.91-1.08g), the plant height (95-100 cm and 92-100 cm), the ear length (6 cm and 4-5 cm, respectively).
