Green Marketing Trek: Drivers, Challenges and Future Directions in Emerging Markets- A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Muposhi A.
Published: March 2018

Green marketing is growing in importance as it is tied to the universal goal of sustainable development. Although green marketing is gaining in prominence as a strategic imperative, mixed accounts a bound on its ability to create sustainable competitive advantage. Against this backdrop, this conceptual paper discusses the concept of green marketing, its drivers, challenges and future directions in the context of emerging markets. With the aid of a systematic literature review, this paper discusses market opportunities and challenges, implementation gaps, future directions and misconceptions associated with the adoption and implementation of green marketing. Results of literature review showed that the adoption of green marketing is driven principally by market opportunities, environmental legislation, operating efficiencies and improved profitability. Literature reviewed also notes challenges associated with green marketing implementation such as consumer cynicism, variability in demand of green products and exorbitant investment costs related to green technologies. This paper concludes that successful implementation of green marketing depends on a green vision that meticulously counterbalances the vested interests of key stakeholders in the value chain such as suppliers and customers. Effective green marketing implementation is also contingent on the ability of top management to integrate, coordinate and re-configure corporate competences to achieve green marketing goals. This paper recommends that marketers should resist the green marketing bandwagon but rather focus on understanding implementation imperatives that are preconditions for creation of sustainable competitive advantage. Marketers should also note that green marketing is not a panacea to all marketing challenges as it needs to be supported by sound marketing acumen
Relationship between Real Exchange Rate and Economic Growth: the case of South Africa
Authors: Patel Deeviya , Mah Gisele
Published: March 2018

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between real exchange rate and economic growth in South Africa. Using time series data, the period from 1980 to 2015 was covered in the study. Data was collected from the South African Reserve Bank, the International Monetary Fund and International Financial Statistics. The Johansen cointegration and the Vector Error Correction Model estimation techniques were employed in the study, followed by VEC Granger causality test, variance decomposition and impulse response function. The long-run results revealed a negative and significant relationship between real exchange rate with export and economic growth. On the other hand, money supply and foreign direct investment have a positive and significant relationship with real exchange rate. Only export was significant and positively related to real exchange rate in the short-run.  Results of granger causality showed that only export granger causes real exchange rate thus, a unidirectional causality exists between export and real exchange rate. Results of variance decomposition revealed that the real exchange rate is highly affected by shocks from economic growth. The impulse response functions showed that real exchange rate responds positively to shocks from real exchange rate and money supply. On the contrary, real exchange rate responds negatively to a shock from economic growth. There is, therefore, a need to increase exports, money supply, foreign direct investment and economic growth as these would lead to an increase in the Rand and consequently, appreciation of the Rand.
Capital Structure and The Profitability of Listed Retail Firms
Authors: Kasozi Jason Stephen
Published: March 2018

The South African retail sector continues to experience a decline in sales and returns amidst growing external competition and a drop in consumer confidence stemming from the recent credit downgrades in the country. Yet, firms in this sector appear to maintain high debt to equity levels. This study investigated whether the capital structure practices of these firms influence their profitability. A Panel data methodology, using three regression estimators, is applied to a balanced sample of 16 retail firms listed on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange (JSE) during the period 2008-2016. The analysis estimates functions relating capital structure composition with the return on assets (ROA). Results reveal a statistically significant but negative relationship between all measures of debt (short-term, long-term, total debt) with profitability, suggesting a possible inclination towards the pecking order theory of financing behaviour, for listed retail firms. Additionally, retail firms are highly leveraged yet over 75% of this debt is short-term in nature. Policy interventions need to investigate the current restrictions on long-term debt financing which offers longerterm and affordable financing, to boost returns. While this study’s methodology differs slightly from earlier studies, it incorporates vital aspects from these studies, and simultaneously specifies a possible model fit.  This helps to capture unique but salient characteristics like the transitional effects of debt financing on firm profitability.  It therefore delivers some unique findings on the financing behaviour of retail firms that both in form policy change, while stimulating further research on the phenomenon.
Promoting Business Inclusivity for Sustainable Livelihoods among the Zimbabwean Poor
Authors: Mbira Leonard , Ncube Mbongiseni
Published: March 2018

The Zimbabwean economy has nose-dived since the long decade era of hyperinflation resulting in serious economic depression, extreme poverty and unemployment. Regrettably, lack of an entrepreneurial culture has become a huge obstacle to the resuscitation of the economy. Developing inclusive business models incorporating livelihood opportunities for social bottom line has long been suggested as the solution for economically distressed less developed nations facing high levels of unemployment. This study sought to explore factors that disincentivise Zimbabweans from seeking and initiating value creating business opportunities that are low income inclusive and further presents strategies to infuse an entrepreneurial investment culture. It adopts the survey design approach in collection of data. The study identifies lack of skills and knowledge, lack of access to financial markets, unfavorable business environment and regulatory system, perceived high risk and poor infrastructure as the main impediments to the integration of the poor communities in to the value chain.
The Merit of the DATA Act to Enhance the Governmental Reporting Process: A Corporate Governance Perspective
Authors: Errichetti Jacob , Roohani Saeed J.
Published: March 2018

This paper utilizes corporate governance concepts to assess the merit of the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014 (DATA Act). The paper first compares the information flows seen in a corporate context to those seen in a governmental reporting context. The paper then utilizes agency theory to establish a conceptual link between the two reporting processes. This conceptual link is used to identify common goals between the participants in the information flows. Following this, a corporate governance model is used to outline factors that contribute to effective corporate governance. This governance model is then used as a basis for assessing the merit of the DATA Act. After this, differences between the participants in the information flows are discussed and limitations of the paper are acknowledged. The paper suggests that the DATA Act has merit due to its potential to improve transparency and monitoring in the governmental reporting process. Increased data timeliness and usability will enhance transparency, while improvements in automation, data transfer, and data analytics will improve monitoring. The conclusions of this paper have implications for the participants in the governmental reporting process including government agencies, legislators, regulatory bodies, contractors, non-voting taxpayers, and members of the voting public.

Mathematical representation is one of the mathematical higher order thinking skills, as a tool or way of thinking in communicating mathematical ideas. Referring to a research about the inconsistency of a mathematical communication profile involving gender differences and the phenomenon of more female students than men right now, there appears to be an allegation that there is a connection between gender differences and students mathematical representation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the improvement of students' mathematical representation capability in terms of gender differences. Subjects in this research were students of class X of High School in Medan, Indonesia, consisting of 13 men and 19 women. The research instrument is a mathematical representation test consisting of 4 questions. Data analysis to find out how the category of improvement of students’ mathematical representation, using index of N-gain. The results of the research are: (1) the improvement of mathematical representation ability in the lower and middle categories of male students is higher than female students, (2) there is no male students have high category mathematical representation, but there are female students have high category mathematical representation abilities, and (3) the ability of representation to make mathematical models and explain the verbal language of male students is higher than female students. While the representational ability of making tables and drawing female students is higher than male students. The implication of the research is needs to do deeper research to see the relationship of mathematical representation ability with the students' mathematical ability profile.

Philosophy as capitalism and the socialist radically metaphysical response to it
Authors: Kolozova Katerina
Published: March 2018

The author starts from the thesis that there is no such thing as a "natural" or "apolitical" economy. The economy is always already political, as it is the economyâ€™s material core of power, control, and its main mechanisms, i.e. exploitation and oppression. It is no less so in the era of neoliberalism, a time in which we witness the divorce between capitalism and democracy. In order to lay the foundations of a different economy, one that is not based on wage labor and the exploitation of human life and nature based on their auto-alienation, but rather on action in accordance with their resources, we need - according the author - to rethink the concept of the state in a non-philosophical and post-capitalist fashion, structurally different from the modern bourgeois state. If the structure originating in the bourgeois state, as conceived by modern humanism, is preserved, it will mean that the determination in the last instance is still the same. In order to arrive at a determination in the last instance of a non-exploitative, non-wage-labor-based social order where the determination is affected by the real, we must first arrive at the generic core of the notion of the modern state. As soon as we determine the generic term of "the state," we can radicalize it by letting it be determined by the effects of the real. The generic notion, isolated from the chôra of the transcendental material that is offered by modern philosophies originating in the Enlightenment, should be used as the minimal transcendental description for the determining effect (or "symptom") of the real.
La voix du philosophe Laruelle
Authors: Kieffer Gilbert
Published: March 2018

The Voice of Laruelle, the philosopher(Abstract)What is a voice in the context of the arts and philosophy? In the space of the philosopher's voice, in the complex grammar of his language is played his philosophical timbre, his own space, his particular voice, composed of concepts, articulated by the laws of coherence of the common philosophical language, with hypnotic specificities. These specificities are precisely the fruit of processes formerly called rhetoric, which I call non-hypnotics (of generalized hypnotic space), one of whose functions is just to speak in a double space: the common reference space of the reader or listener, and the conceptual virtual space peculiar to the philosopher. To the extent that the reader must pay increased and permanent attention to this double space, the philosophical trance effect, equivalent to the Ericksonian hypnotic trance, is facilitated. The difficulty of this double reading is the incessant passage from one code to another, which is also a hypnotic fascination. Heidegger prolongs and renews its structures and draws some effects from them, which provoke in the mind of the reader as an over-flow, a saturation effect, which itself favors the philosophical trance. Thus, each voice seeks to captivate the mind by confusing it with concepts, which seem at first sight familiar, but which reveal themselves with the use which is made, like formidable concepts to the power of unaccustomed fascination. One of the pleasures of reading Lareuelle's philosophy is due to this type of fascination with the philosophical voice and its language.

Starzenie się jest procesem fizjologicznym, który przejawia się wraz z wiekiem. Charakteryzuje się stałym zmniejszaniem maksymalnych parametrów fizjologicznych oraz mniejszą zdolnością do regeneracji i adaptacji. Wyróżnia się trzy typy starzenia się: 1) zdrowy, 2) zwykły 3) chorobowy. Pierwsze dwa typy starzenia zalicza się do fizjologicznego starzenia się, które obejmują około 65% kobiet i mężczyzn. Takie starzenie jest badane przez autorów pracy przy wyznaczaniu maksymalnych parametrów fizjologicznych serca i mięśni kobiet oraz mężczyzn podczas przejścia na emeryturę. Obecnie osoby, które osiągają wiek emerytalny i starzeją się fizjologicznie w większości nie są niedołężnymi starcami, a wręcz przeciwnie- najczęściej funkcjonują normalnie.
Celem pracy jest wyznaczenie parametrów fizjologicznych serca i mięśni kobiet oraz mężczyzn o przeciętnej wydolności fizycznej w wieku emerytalnym – 67 lat oraz dla kobiet w wieku 60 lat i mężczyzn w wieku 65 lat. W przypadku kobiet największy ubytek wartości parametrów fizjologicznych przyjmuje maksymalna siła mięśni (F max), a najmniejszy objętość wyrzutowa serca (SVmax). Średni ubytek maksymalnych parametrów fizjologicznych kobiet wynosi: dla wieku 60 lat (-13,45%), dla wieku 67 lat  (-18,15%), a dla wieku 75 lat  (-24,4%). W przypadku dla mężczyzn największy ubytek wartości parametrów fizjologicznych przyjmuje pułap tlenowy (Vo2 max), a najmniejszy różnica tętniczo-żylna wysycenia krwi tlenem (AVDmax). Średni ubytek maksymalnych parametrów fizjologicznych mężczyzn wynosi: dla wieku 65 lat (-18,2%), dla wieku 67 lat (-19,7%), a dla wieku 75 lat (-26,35%). Wyznaczone maksymalne parametry fizjologiczne serca i mięśni kobiet oraz mężczyzn pozwalają na dokładną, obiektywną i ilościową ocenę stanu zdrowia odchodzących na emeryturę.

Deutschland und die Erweiterung der Europäischen Union um die Staaten der Visegrád-Gruppe
Authors: Kłys Justyna
Published: March 2018

Artykuł jest próbą przedstawienia roli i miejsca Republiki Federalnej Niemiec w trudnym i skomplikowanym procesie integracji państw Grupy Wyszehradzkiej - Polski, Czech, Słowacji i Węgier - z Unią Europejską. W artykule zaprezentowane zostało stanowisko elit politycznych, stosunek społeczeństwa oraz wyselekcjonowanej, wpływowej prasy niemieckiej. Analiza została przeprowadzona w oparciu o wybrane problemy występujące we wzajemnych dwustronnych i wielostronnych stosunkach w kontekście rozszerzenia UE, a jej uzupełnienie stanowi ocena wyników badań opinii publicznej oraz publikacji, które pojawiły się w mediach drukowanych. Ramy czasowe omawianych zagadnień zostały wyznaczone na lata 1998-2004. W artykule starano się ukazać, że idea rozszerzenia Unii Europejskiej o kraje Grupy Wyszehradzkiej, pomimo różnic w stanowiskach negocjacyjnych, była w Republice Federalnej Niemiec powszechnie akceptowana przez elitę polityczną, jednak odmiennie prezentowało się stanowisko społeczeństwa niemieckiego. Niechęć oraz niezwykle sceptyczny i nieufny stosunek wobec tej koncepcji, podszyte były uprzedzeniami i obawami, które do pewnego stopnia wynikały ze słabości politycznej i gospodarczej kandydatów. Przeprowadzona analiza publikacji ukazujących się w wybranej wpływowej prasie niemieckiej pozwoliła na stwierdzenie, że miało to związek z dominującymi doniesieniami o kosztach i zagrożeniach związanych z akcesją Polski, Czech, Słowacji i Węgier do struktur unijnych oraz deficytem rzetelnych i kompleksowych informacji o szansach i korzyściach. Dowodzi to, zatem problemów z legitymizacją społeczną procesu rozszerzenia.

Między czasem minionym a przyszłym – człowiek w pozycji arbitra
Authors: Nieszporek-Trzcińska Anna
Published: March 2018

Artykuł koncentruje się na prezentacji Arendtowskiej teorii sądzenia ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem jej funkcji scalającej czasy minione z przyszłością. Autorka wylicza dwie parabole jako motywy sądzenia: pierwszą kafkowską - definiującą sąd jako rozstęp w czasie, drugą pitagorejską - stanowiącą odwołanie do tego, co zostało utracone. Traktując obecne czasy jako domenę sądzenia - po epoce starożytności, w której triumf święcił rozum oraz średniowiecza, gdzie dowodzenie należało do władzy woli - Arendt zdaje się nas przekonywać, jakoby zerwanie ciągłości naszej tradycji intelektualnej było dla nas szansą. W świecie globalizacji, w którym ogłoszono koniec wielkich narracji, człowiek w szczególny sposób zostaje wezwany do wydawania sądów o sobie i (pięknie) otaczającej go rzeczywistości. Tym bardziej zajmowana przez niego rola arbitra staje się konieczna, gdy tradycja, religia czy autorytet nie oferują już jasnych wytycznych myślenia (stąd słynne hasło Arendt Denken ohne Geländer; myślenie bez podpórek). Potencjalnie rozumiana umiejętność generowania własnych kryteriów osądzania to, zdaniem autorki artykułu, emanacja boskiego pierwiastka w człowieku i świadectwo jego politycznego (nie) zaangażowania w kwestie zła.
Religion, Law, and Politics. The Unresolved Riddle of Contemporary Islam(s)
Authors: Ahmad Piotr
Published: March 2018

As Europe faces the fact that it will have to accommodate a growing population of Muslim citizens, I decide to return to the complex question of the relationship of politics and law in contemporary Islam. In doing so, I reject the notion that Islam is somehow a monolithic and timeless, ahistorical bloc; rather, while agreeing, in principle, with the fact that Islam is nowadays heavily politicized, I argue that it is the radical interpretation and lack of modernization of Islam, and its attitude to God and law, that is the main obstacle to the prevention of the "clash of civilizations". I also point to certain institutions in the Islamic world which potentially could form the basis of future modernization.
Find and treat or find and lose? Tuberculosis treatment outcomes among screened newly arrived asylum seekers in Germany 2002 to 2014
Authors: Kuehne Anna , Hauer Barbara , Brodhun Bonita , Haas Walter , Fiebig Lena
Published: March 2018

Background

Germany has a low tuberculosis (TB) incidence. A relevant and increasing proportion of TB cases is diagnosed among asylum seekers upon screening. Aim: We aimed to assess whether cases identified by screening asylum seekers had equally successful and completely reported treatment outcomes as cases diagnosed by passive case finding and contact tracing in the general population. Methods: We analysed characteristics and treatment outcomes of pulmonary TB cases notified in Germany between 2002 and 2014, stratified by mode of case finding. We performed three multivariable analyses with different dependent variables: Model A: successful vs all other outcomes, Model B: successful vs documented non-successful clinical outcome and Model C: known outcome vs lost to follow-up. Results: TB treatment success was highest among cases identified by contact tracing (87%; 3,139/3,591), followed by passive case finding (74%; 28,804/39,019) and by screening asylum seekers (60%; 884/1,474). Cases identified by screening asylum seekers had 2.4 times higher odds of not having a successful treatment outcome as opposed to all other outcomes (A), 1.4 times higher odds of not having a successful treatment outcome as opposed to known non-successful outcomes (B) and 2.3 times higher odds of loss to follow-up (C) than cases identified by passive case finding. Conclusion: Screened asylum seekers had poorer treatment outcomes and were more often lost to follow-up. Linking patients to treatment facilities and investigating potential barriers to treatment completion are needed to secure screening benefits for asylum seekers and communities.

Berdasarkan hasil observasi di SDN Jati, diketahui bahwa proses pembelajaran khususnya di kelas V SDN Jati masih kurang efektif. Siswa mengalami kesulitan menerima pelajaran IPA pada materi sifat-sifat cahaya. Hal ini disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor, salah satunya adalah penyampaian materi hanya menggunakan metode ceramah, sehingga hasil belajar siswa masih di bawah KKM. Oleh karena itu peneliti menerapkan metode inquiry untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa kelas V SDN Jati. Penelitian ini merupakan Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) yang dibatasi dalam dua siklus. Setiap siklusnya terdiri dari empat tahapan, yaitu perencanaan, pelaksanaan, pengamatan, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas V SDN Jati yang berjumlah 20 siswa. Teknik pengumpulan data melalui tes hasil belajar dengan menggunakan instrumen lembar tes hasil belajar. Indikator keberhasilan penelitian diukur dari ketuntasan individual dan klasikal.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa presentase ketuntasan klasikal meningkat dari 30% pada prapenelitian menjadi 55% pada siklus 1 dan 80% pada siklus 2. Kendala yang ditemui dalam pelaksanan penelitian adalah guru dan siswa di SDN Jati belum terbiasa menggunakan metode inquiry.

Bu derleme, sığır karkaslarının kalitelerine göre sınıflandırılmasını ele almak, özellikle Avrupa Birliği(AB) ülkelerinde kullanılan EUROP sistemi (E=excellent, U= very good, R=good, O=fair, P=poor) hakkındabilgi sunmak ve bu konuda Türkiye’deki mevcut durumu değerlendirmek için yapılmıştır. Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinde(AB) karkasın konformasyon ve yağlılık düzeyini esas alan “S-EUROP” sistemi kullanılmaktadır. Karkasınkalite sınıflandırılmasında karkasa ait ticari özelliklerin dikkate alınması önemlidir. Bu sistemde sığırın cinsiyetive yaşı önemlidir ve karkas konformasyonu 6 sınıfa ayrılmakta (S= Süper (Etçi ırklar ve çift kaslı ırklarda),E=mükemmel, U=çok iyi, R=iyi, O=orta, P=kötü), yağlılık durumu ise 5 kategoride değerlendirilmektedir(1=yağsız, 2=az yağlı, 3=orta yağlı, 4=yağlı, 5=çok yağlı). Türkiye’de, AB ülkelerinde uygulandığı şekliylekaliteye göre sığır karkaslarının sınıflandırılmasını ve fiyatlandırılmasını sağlayan bir sistem bulunmamaktadır.AB üyeliğine aday ülke olan Türkiye’de müktesebat uyumu nedeniyle EUROP sisteminin kullanılmasının dahauygun olacağı öngörülmektedir.
