Skandinavisk translationsforskning ad nye veje: Om de-kontekstualisering af organisatorisk praksis
Authors: Nielsen Jeppe Agger
Published: March 2019

Skandinavisk translationsforskning har navnlig fokuseret på, hvordan ”idéer på rejse” tilpasses og modificeres i takt med, at de indoptages og implementeres i organisationer (kontekstualisering). Til gengæld har få translationsstudier undersøgt, hvordan idéer løsrives fra organisationskontekster, så de kan udbredes i et felt (de-kontekstualisering). Denne artikel adresserer sidstnævnte problemstilling og viser gennem et longitudinelt case studie, hvordan en organisationspraksis, mindset-baseret undervisning, (som var inspireret af en global idé) blev udviklet og genfortolket på et dansk gymnasium, og båret frem af ildsjæle, der skabte forandring ikke alene i egen organisation, men også i feltet af danske undervisningsinstitutioner. Artiklen demonstrerer, hvordan ”udbringning” af en organisatorisk praksis kræver omfattede translationsarbejde og ildsjæle, som kan skabe en vision, som rækker ud over egen organisation, opbygge alliancer og netværk i feltet samt formidle idéer i et kommunikerbart budskab.

¿La religión, competente en materia de verdades y valores?
Authors: Robles José Amando
Published: March 2019

Como sucedió en las elecciones generales pasadas en Costa Rica, por toda América Latina están surgiendo partidos cristianos, especialmente neopentecostales, presentándose como defensores y, por tanto poseedores, de verdades y valores que ellos ven en peligro: concepción de la vida, sexualidad, pareja humana, entre otros. Y es frecuente, hasta en medios laicos, reconocerles cierta competencia. A este respecto hay que hacerse ya académicamente la pregunta, y el presente trabajo la hace: ¿en verdad las religiones tienen verdades específicas al respecto? Y la respuesta es negativa. En el pasado bajo una epistemología mítica se creían competentes y lo eran. Hoy, bajo una epistemología crítica, no lo son más. Sus verdades y valores son los de las antropologías, éticas y filosofías que asumen, con frecuencia ya caducadas, sin vigencia epistemológica. Definitivamente, la pretensión de las iglesias tiene que ser sometida a debate.
Cortes irrumpidas. La judicialización conservadora del aborto en Argentina
Authors: Monte María Eugenia , Vaggione Juan Marco
Published: March 2019

En Argentina, las luchas de los movimientos de mujeres, feministas y LGBTI por reformar el derecho lograron disputar el orden sexual conservador sostenido por el poder religioso e imbricado en el discurso jurídico. Estos procesos de reforma, sin embargo, son resistidos por el activismo religioso conservador en diferentes instancias institucionales con el propósito de (re) instituir la moral religiosa conservadora en el derecho. En este trabajo focalizamos en las intervenciones de las ONGs y abogados autodenominados pro-vida en procesos judiciales en las cortes con el propósito de obstruir, impedir y/o criminalizar el acceso al aborto no punible en el país. El estudio de estos procesos nos permite ampliar la comprensión de una de las principales estrategias del conservadurismo religioso en América Latina, el uso del litigio para resistir las reformas legales progresistas.

A quantitative assessment of interest rate uncertainty in real option analysis
Authors: Ballestra Luca Vincenzo , Pacelli Graziella , Radi Davide
Published: March 2019

The discounting cash flow (DCF) technique is the most popular approach for valuing firms' projects. Basically, it consists of discounting the values of the forecasted future cash flows by some interest rate, for example the so-called weighted average cost of capital (WACC), or an Enterprise's rate of return (measured by the annual growth of the firm's total assets), or, eventually, a required (desired) rate of return. In this work, we discuss the effect of the uncertainty of future interest rates on real option valuation
Institutional investors, stewardship code, and corporate performance: International evidence
Authors: Shiraishi Yutaro , Ikeda Naoshi , Arikawa Yasuhiro , Inoue Kotaro
Published: March 2019

This study investigates if stewardship code enhances monitoring activities of institutional investors on their portfolio firms. Stewardship Codes aim to enhance the quality of engagement between institutional investors and companies. Since institutional investors who typically hold diversified portfolio should have little incentive to monitor their portfolio firms due to free-rider problem, the stewardship code, which is designed to motivate institutional investors to monitor, becomes important in countries with high institutional ownership
The impact of the new Italian Early Warning System provided by the IC-Code on SMEs governance
Authors: Riva Patrizia Lucia Maria , Comoli Maurizio
Published: March 2019

The Italian legislator with the Decree-Law No. 155/2017, is being converted into the new Insolvency and Crisis Code (IC-Code), has introduced a compulsory Early Warning System to detect occurring crisis. The Early Warning System is intended as an instrument aimed at driving the directors and the bodies responsible for controlling the companies in the identification of the very first signs of crisis. These are, on the one hand, the corporate control bodies which in Italy are the Board of Statutory Auditors (also known as Supervisory Board or Collegio Sindacale) and/or the Auditors and on the other hand some qualified creditors such as IRS (Agenzia delle Entrate), the national insurance institution and the tax collection agent. Among these subjects it is undoubtedly the Board of Statutory Auditors to play the role of the main recipient of the signs of crisis as a body assigned to monitor and supervision to enforce compliance of management with statutes and by-laws. This is confirmed by the significant extension of the number of companies – particularly SMEs – that will be obliged to change their habits converting their simple entrepreneurial governance by providing for at least some kind of control bodies to cope with the new Code. The paper tries a critical reading of the new IC-Code outlining the significant impacts that it is meant to have on Italian companies Corporate Governance, with special emphasis on SMEs
Comparative analysis of performance indicators between Albania and the countries of the Western Balkans region, period 2012-2016
Authors: Banushi Blerina
Published: March 2019

The public sector performance assessment has recently become an increasingly important topic. In moments of increasing pressure on public spending arising from demographic trends and globalization, improving efficiency, effectiveness and efficiency, so performance should be a priority for any political agenda. Intensive orientation to improve performance in the public sector aims to reduce the tax burden, increase public confidence in the government and increase overall productivity. Most studies related to public sector performance address the problem of determining and measuring it by external stakeholders. Determining performance in the public sector is, however, a difficult task stemming from the complex role of the public sector. This paper aims to compare the performance of the Albanian public sector with that of the other Western Balkan countries, considering several indicators, such as administration, education, health, public infrastructure, stability and economic performance

Participatory governance for sustainable regional development: How much does the ‘genius loci’ matter?
Authors: Del Baldo Mara , Demartini Paola
Published: March 2019

There is a global urgency for territorial governance approaches based on multi-actor and multilevel policy coherence for sustainable development goals achievement (UN, 2015). The development of forms of participatory governance has been highly recommended stressing the importance of strengthening the cooperation and collaboration at regional, sub regional and local level between the different actors involved (UNGC, 2007). The aim of our study is to investigate the pre-conditions that favour the development of local governance systems aimed at enhancing the regional/local development by leveraging on social capital.The subject of our analysis – which is empirically based – are the experimental projects promoted by selected Italian Regions, where “hybrid” forms of governance nurtured by alliance among local public institutions, for profit and not-for profit organisations and civil society, are committed to voluntary partnerships which are reciprocally advantageous, and which pursue a common social objective
Energy performance of single family houses in Serbia: Analysis of calculation procedures
Authors: Manic Dimitrije , Komatina Mirko , Vucicevic Biljana , Jovanovic Marina
Published: March 2019

Energy certification of buildings in Serbia was introduced in 2011 and energy label depends on energy need for heating per unit floor area of heated space, calculated by the fully prescribed monthly quasi-steady-state method defined by ISO 13790. In the Republic of Serbia, most of families live in single-family houses built before the energy certification of buildings was introduced. Therefore, the estimation of energy performance of the existing buildings is important for labeling, and evaluation of energy saving measures and energy strategies to be implemented. This paper examines the applicability of monthly method defined by National legislation on the existing buildings stock in Serbia, by comparing it to the more accurate dynamic simulation method. Typical single-family houses are taken as a test case, since they are responsible for about 76% of energy consumption for heating. The results show that the dynamic simulation method estimates 21% to 54% higher energy need for heating, compared to the monthly method. Also, the monthly method estimates up to 13% higher savings by typical building envelope energy saving measures, compared to the dynamic simulation. This paper recommends improvement in procedures for calculation of building energy performance index to better assess energy consumption, effects of energy saving measures, and create solid background for developing and implementing of energy saving strategies.
Explosive disintegration of two-component droplets in a gas flow at its turbulization
Authors: Antonov Dmitrii , Strizhak Pavel
Published: March 2019

The experimental results shown that the mode of droplet disintegration dominates in the laminar flow, and the intensive fragmentation is prevalent in the turbulent flow during almost the entire time of heating. Typical dependences of the time of droplet heatup before disintegration or fragmentation on the temperature, flow rate, structure and regime (laminar and turbulent) are established. The studies are conducted with heated air and flue gases to ensure the application of the research results in the technology of thermal and flame cleaning of liquids from irregular impurities. It is shown that in the flow of combustion products the droplet disintegration occurs 15-20% faster than in the air-flow. In this case, the explosive puffing is more often realized. At high-temperatures (more than 400?C) the characteristics of the explosive droplet disintegration in the studied flows are almost identical (differences in disintegration times do not exceed 5% at different flow turbulization). At lower temperatures, the disintegration times differ 3-4 times for the range Re = 2200-3400. In this case, the more Reynolds number is, the more intense is the fragmentation of two-component droplets throughout the heating time. Due to explosive disintegration of intensely evaporating two-component droplets the growth of the relative area of evaporation was 10-25 times.
Simulation of flow in single and double-sided lid driven square cavities by direct simulation Monte Carlo method
Authors: Nabapure Deepak , Kalluri Ram
Published: March 2019

The gaseous flow of monoatomic Argon in a double-sided lid-driven square cavity is investigated using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method for different degrees of rarefaction. The effect of the direction of wall motion and the magnitude of wall velocities on the flow physics are analyzed. Unlike the single-sided cavity flow, the double-sided cavity flow generates different vortex formations especially for the parallel wall motion of the wall. The problem, therefore, merits a thorough study, which is attempted in the present paper using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. Certain complex flow phenomena which are not captured using the numerical methods for continuum flows are revealed by the current method employed in the study. Two counter-rotating vortices are observed for the parallel wall motion whereas only one primary vortex can be observed for the antiparallel case. The variation in the flow and thermal properties is found to be significant at the onset of the transition regime and much smaller in the free molecular regime.
Experimental exploration of finned cooling structure for the thermal management of lithium batteries with different discharge rate and materials
Authors: Wang Shixue , Li Kaixiang , Gao Ming , Wang Junyao
Published: March 2019

Lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles generate heat continuously, leading to high temperature of the battery packs and significant temperature differences between the battery cells, which eventually deteriorate the performance and lifespan of lithium-ion batteries. Therefore, a novel battery thermal management system that equipped the battery pack with fins was proposed and experimentally studied in this paper. The thermal behavior of lithium-ion batteries with different discharge rates and fin thicknesses was investigated. The results show that under natural-convection conditions, the addition of fins restricted the significant increase of the battery pack temperature and improved the uniformity of temperature distribution in the battery pack. Additionally, thicker fins satisfied the temperature requirements at higher discharge rates and greater discharge depths. Under condition of 2C discharge at 80% depth of discharge, compared to no clearance structure the 1 mm and 3 mm aluminum finned structure decreased the maximum temperature rise and the maximum temperature difference by 26.5%, 40.8%, and 9.5%, 33.3%, respectively. However, the trade-offs and optimization between the thermal load, weight, and volume increase caused by the addition of fins should be further investigated.
Influence of hydrogen as a fuel additive on combustion and emissions characteristics of a free piston engine
Authors: Alrbai Mohammad , Qawasmeh Bashar , Al-Dahidi Sameer , Ayadi Osama
Published: March 2019

It has been shown that using fuel additives play an important role in enhancing the combustion characteristics in terms of efficiency and emissions. In addition, free piston engines have shown capable in reducing energy losses and presenting more efficient and reliable engines. In this context, the objective of the present work is to investigate the effect of using hydrogen as a fuel additive in natural gas homogeneous charge compression ignition free piston engine. To this aim, two models have been iteratively coupled: the combustion model that is used to calculate the heat release of the combustion and the scavenging model that is employed to determine the in-cylinder mixture state after scavenging in terms of its homogeneity and species mass fractions and to obtain the finial pressure and temperature of the in-cylinder mixture. In the former model, the 0-D approach through Cantera toolkit has been considered due to the fact that homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion is very rapid and the fuel-air mixture is well-homogenous, whereas in the latter model, 3-D-CFD approach through AN-SYS FLUENT software is considered to ensure precise calculations of the species exchange at the end of each engine cycle. The effect of hydrogen as a fuel additive has been quantified in terms of the combustion characteristics (e. g., ignition delay, heat release rate, engine overall efficiency and emissions, etc.). It has been shown that hydrogen addition reduces ignition delay time, decreases the in-cylinder peak pressure, while allowing the engine to operate with higher mechanical efficiency as it has high heat release rate, increases the NOx emission levels of the engine, but decreases the CO levels
Short Selling and Firms' Disclosure of Bad News: Evidence from Regulation SHO
Authors: Clinch Gregory J. , Li Wei , Zhang Yunyan
Published: March 2019

As informed traders, short sellers enhance the informativeness of stock prices, especially related to bad news, potentially reducing the benefits and increasing litigation and reputational costs of withholding bad news by managers. We exploit a quasi-natural experimental setting provided by the introduction of SEC regulation SHO (Reg-SHO), which significantly reduced the constraints faced by short sellers for an effectively randomly selected subsample of U.S. firms (pilot firms). Relative to control firms, we find pilot firms increase the likelihood of voluntary bad news management forecasts, provide these forecasts in a more timely manner, and accelerate the release of quarterly bad earnings news. Each of these effects is stronger for subsamples of moderate (compared with extreme) bad news, firms facing high (relative to low) litigation risks, and firms with a forecasting history. Similar effects are not observed for voluntary good news forecasts. A range of robustness tests reinforce our results.

Relocating Heteronormativity and Questioning Feminism: A Study in the Fiction of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Authors: Singh Dr. Jayshree , Goswami Dr.Chhavi
Published: March 2019

A Critical Study of the Selected Novels of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni deals significantly with the post-feminist literature written by women novelists belonging to the Indian origin. She has delineated upon the thinking women of the Indian diaspora, whose mental faculty compels them to introspect their so long stereotypical status quo in the prevailing customs, traditions, myths, patriarchy, motherhood and marital life, that they have inherited or imbibed genetically to the alien lands far from their imaginary homelands. Due to literacy, technology, science, employment, migration, and the equal opportunities, economic independence, their sense of metaphysics has set equilibrium with their non-conventional discomfort zones and they have attempted to cross customized thresholds of comfort zones. They have advanced further from the set paradigms of women’s image which have been popularly prevalent from the historical perspective. the selected writings of the Indian – American diaspora woman author indicates that the dimensions of contextualizing in-betweenness, hybridity of thought in women’s personality and psyche have although been issues of conflicts and contradictions both in private and public space; however, they are more thoughtful to revamp and retrace their old-patterned trajectories for breaking the track of ice-ceiling. They have challenged fragile zones of both expectations and realities. Women characters in the novels of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni (Contemporary Indian-American Diaspora Woman Novelist) have been projected with the capacities of self-emancipation in their own negative and positive perspective; they represent the modus operandi of self-sufficient, self-independent and self-exploratory to emancipate their lives, although, in their quest of being free, they deviate. They acknowledge the fact of mutual understanding and acceptance of differences which are the metaphorical ways of resistance. They attempt to oscillate their self-disintegration and self-denigration. The selected novels discuss the double standards of society/community in terms of the expected standards and reality standards and that’s what makes sense in the author’s creative-writing scholarship that analytically, dexterously, meaningfully and emotionally brings out a contemporary critique on the choices, changes and commonalities confronted by women, against women, and for women. The author explores uncommon reoccurrences of gender existential needs, responsibilities and roles in order to demystify the stereotypical, sociological and psychological myths with regard to women’s thoughts and actions.

Reliability and exploitation analysis of ITS power systems including RES
Authors: Siergiejczyk Mirosław , Rosiński Adam , Chmiel Jerzy
Published: March 2019

The problem of reliability and exploitation analysis of power systems used in intelligent transport systems (ITS) is extremely important from the point of view of ensuring the traffic safety. The use of advanced electronic devices in ITS systems requires their power supply from properly designed power systems. To ensure the continuity of operation of electronic devices, the basic and backup power supply are most often used. They should have specific values of reliability and performance indicators. Therefore, a reliability and exploitation model of the power system has been developed, taking into account renewable energy sources (RES), such as used in intelligent transport systems. This allowed to obtain dependencies enqabling to determine the probability of staying of the power system used in the intelligent transport system in the specified reliability and exploitation states.

Authors: Wołczyński Zbigniew , Pakosz Karol , Stachyra Paweł
Published: March 2019

The article discusses the method of measuring the power of modern light sources such as compact fluorescent lamps and lamps based on LED diodes. Receivers supplied with alternating current (sinusoidially variable) draw apparent power from the network. It consists of active and passive power. Modern light sources draw electricity from the grid with a course significantly different from the network voltage. Therefore, it is impossible to accurately measure power in a traditional way. The method of measurement presented in the article uses computer technology which allows for accurate measurement of the receiver's power at any voltage and current course of the receiver.

The functioning of the transport system in cities faces ever-increasing problems, the solving of which requires the involvement of various transport subsystems. Rail transport is one of the ways of displacement, which for years has ensured the transport needs of man and the economy for different distances. In recent years, rail transport is more and more often perceived as a way to implement displacements in urban areas and areas directly adjacent to them. It also often be-comes one of the elements of the transport system in cities, which together with road transport should ensure safe, efficient and economic displacement of people and loads, taking into account the requirements of sustainable planning. An important problem to be solved during the implementation of these movements is to provide access to a properly designed, enabling human functioning in the space of rail and road transport. The article will present technical conditions for selected elements of transport infrastructure in relation to transport nodes and the expectations of potential users of these spaces based on the results of completed pilot surveys.

Authors: Galor Wiesław , Uchacz Waldemar
Published: March 2019

The paper presents the concept of supply for the Dolna Odra power plant by waterways transport. It was built in the 1970s, The power plant based on hard coal from Polish mines using rail transport. In view of the favorable location near the Eastern Odra, the possibility of supplying the plant by waterways was considered. This would require the construction of a water port. The tests carried out previously fully confirmed this possibility. An additional argument for the construction of the port are development plans based on the construction of power units powered by gas. In view of the entry into operation of the LNG Gas Terminal in Świnoujście, it is possible to supply the power plant with this gas by means of water transport of liquefied gas. It would be an alternative to constructing a land gas pipeline in connection with planned gas deliveries from the North Sea with the use of the Baltic-Pipe gas pipeline, scheduled for operation in 2022.
