Inevitable aging and the resultant mental disorders In developing countries: a sociological appraisal
Authors: Sheykhi Mohammad
Published: November 2020

Aging is inevitably associated with a large number of body functions including the mental health. In addition to that, heart function, emotions, moods etc. could be mentioned as the results of gradual aging. Such conditions are usually accompanied with increase in medications consumption and decline in quality of life. Though usually medical sciences study mental health conditions, sociology also needs to be applied to appraise the "cause and effect" of mental health. As life expectancy is globally increasing, more and more people are subject to mental disorders, Alzheimer's disorders, dementia, depression and many more, as the effects of aging extensively impact mental health. Therefore, under the conditions of rapid aging, geriatrics needs to be strengthened and improved as much as possible to safeguard mental health. However, structural changes in terms of biological, physical, psychological and chemical reactions which inevitably occur with aging, need prevention and appropriate medication, and other investments in long term, and if not, other vulnerabilities will inevitably appear.

The Public Health services are closest related with the human develop. The strong relation between population health and labor productivity is determining the historical economic develop and the real capability to make sustainable the economic develop. Few sectors have an extensive and strong relation with the human develop as the Public Health. The health policies may insider over the whole population and can determine which population sector can access to the health services and the real dimension from the effective demand from these services too.
YÖNETİCİ VE İŞ ARKADAŞLARINA DUYULAN GÜVENİN PSİKOLOJİK SAHİPLENME ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİNE YÖNELİK BİR UYGULAMA
Authors:   Selçuk Üniversitesi, ÖZYILMAZ Ahmet Fatih , NALÇACIGİL Emre
Published: November 2020

Çalışmamızda psikolojik sahiplik teorisinin iki yolla faydalı olduğunu öne sürüyoruz. Öncelikle bireylerin neden ve nasıl nesnel olduklarını ele alıyor. Bu sahiplik, bireyin nesneye olan ilişkisinin psikolojik bir temsilidir ve yasal olarak değil, etkileşimlerle bağlıdır. Örneğin, bir birey yasal olarak bir nesneyi sahiplenmeden bir nesneye sahip olabilir. Ya da tersine, bireyler yasal sahiplik olmadığı zaman sahiplik hislerine sahip olabilirler. İnsan faktörlerini sahiplik merceği ile anlamaya yönelik bu nüanslı yaklaşım, örgütlerin sahipliğini elinde bulunduran ve tüketicilere kısa vadeli erişim sağlayan erişim temelli tüketim modellerini kısıtlayan tüketici endişelerini açıklamaya yardımcı olmalıdır. Psikolojik mülkiyet teorisi, ürün ömrüne katkıda bulunabilecek anlam yaratma ve nesneye bağlamayı anlamada değerlidir. Yani nesne bir nesneye algılanan psikolojik yakınlık olarak tanımlanması durumunda psikolojik sahiplik, bu yakınlığın aşırı bir formunu temsil eder. Çalışmamızın uygulama bölümü Konya ilindeki kamu hastanelerinde bulunan idarecilerle yapılan bir araştırmadan oluşmaktadır. Araştırmamıza göre idarecilerin kurumlarını sahiplendiği söylenebilir.

Authors:   University of Ondokuz Mayıs, ÖZKAN Nida Gencer , ATAN Tülin
Published: November 2020

The aim of this study was to investigate the basketball players’, active in Turkey Women’s Basketball Super and 1st Leagues, empathy levels according to their marital status, educational status in addition to age and marital status of their coach; and to evaluate leadership characteristics and behavior of their coaches according to athlete’s perception. Another aim was to analyze the relation between empathy levels of the athletes and athletes’ perception of coaching behavior. 264 (age; 24.61±5.53 year) female athletes playing in Turkey Women’s Basketball Super and 1st Leagues participated in this study. Leadership Scale for Sports (LSS)-version of Athletes’ Perception of Coaching Behavior that developed by Chelladurai and Saleh, and adapted by Tiryaki and Toros in 2006 was used as data collection tool. Athletes’ perceptions of leadership style and behavior of their coach were evaluated in five different factors. A five-factor solution with 40 items describing the most salient dimensions of coaching behavior was selected as the most meaningful. Empathy levels of the athletes were determined by using Emphatic Tendency Scale which was developed by Dökmen (1988) and composed of 20 items. Empathy levels of the athletes showed no statistically significant difference in terms of any variable (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in athletes’ perceptions of coaching behaviors in terms of marital status of the athlete and age of their coach (p>0.05). In terms of educational status of athletes and marital status of their coach, there were statistically significant differences in athletes’ perceptions of coaching behaviors (p<0.05 and p<0.01). Positive and meaningful correlation was found between empathy scores of the athletes and training and instruction behavior (r=.172**) and autocratic behavior (r=.154*) of the coach (p<0.05 and p<0.01). Educational status of the athletes and marital status of their coach are influental in athletes’ evaluation of their perceptions of coaching behavior. Empathy levels of the athletes are related to their perceptions of coaching behavior.
Stan techniczny i wykorzystanie zabudowań po klasztorach skasowanych w guberni wołyńskiej w latach 1832–1853 w świetle raportu wołyńskiego gubernatora cywilnego z 1861 r.
Authors: Ciesielski Tomasz
Published: November 2020

W trakcie XIX-wiecznych kasat klasztorów na obszarze cesarstwa rosyjskiego względy ekonomiczne stanowił istotny, może najważniejszy, ale niejedyny czynnik, uwzględniany przy podejmowaniu decyzji o zniesieniu domu zakonnego. Oficjalnie władze rosyjskie głosiły, że cały majątek klasztorny miał być wykorzystany na utrzymanie szkół oraz instytucji opiekuńczych i charytatywnych. W rzeczywistości przejęte ziemskie dobra klasztorne zasiliły skarb publiczny, a mienie z różnych powodów niezbywalne powiększyło majątek, pozostający w dyspozycji władz gubernialnych oraz Cerkwi prawosławnej.

Władze długo nie doceniały znaczenia zabudowań poklasztornych. Dla większości z nich nie znaleziono nowego użytkownika. Opustoszałe zabudowania niszczały. Postawa ta zmieniła się dopiero w 1850 r., w trakcie przygotowań do kolejnych kasat. Przygotowano plany zagospodarowania uzyskanych zabudowań, jednakże w praktyce znaczna część z nich nie znalazła użytkowników. W tej sytuacji, w celu zorientowania się, które z zabudowań poklasztornych stanowiących własność państwa i pozostających pod zarządem władz gubernialnych nadawały się jeszcze do dalszego użytkowania, 31 VII 1854 r. Ministerstwo Spraw Wewnętrznych poleciło ich zinwentaryzowanie. Administracji cywilnej w generał-gubernatorstwie kijowskim, podolskim i wołyńskim wykonanie tego zarządzenia zajęło ponad 6 lat. W guberni wołyńskiej efektem prac inwentaryzacyjnych był wykaz 28 obiektów. Zawiera on następujące informacje: 1. pierwotny użytkownik obiektu (budynek/zespół); 2. data jego ufundowania i wzniesienia budowli; 3. zwięzły opis architektoniczny; 4. stan prawno-własnościowy,użytkownicy; 4. stan techniczny; 5. zalecenia odnośnie dalszych losów obiektu, gdy wymagał remontu wskazanie źródeł finansowania. W chwili przeprowadzania inwentaryzacji 8 zespołów poklasztornych znajdowało się w zarządzie wołyńskiej gubernialnej Izby Dóbr Państwowych, co oznaczało w praktyce, że budynki klasztorne były nieużytkowane i popadały w coraz to większą ruinę. Cerkiew prawosławna administrowała 11 zespołami klasztornymi. Jednak tylko dla 4 budynków klasztornych znaleziono sposób użytkowania, który jeżeli nie zapobiegał procesowi dewastacji, to znacznie go spowolnił. Wojsko wykorzystywało 4 dawne klasztory, w przypadku jednego dzieliło go z parafią katolicką Cztery klasztory oddano organom administracji lokalnej i sądom powiatowym. Stan techniczny wszystkich 28 budynków/zespołów wzbudzał zastrzeżenia i ponad połowę z nich zakwalifikowano jako nadającesię tylko do rozbiórki. Jednak tylko w przypadku nielicznych obiektów, jak klasztoru dominikańskiego we Włodzimierzu, wykonano te zalecenia. Inne zrujnowane klasztory pozostawiono swojemu losowi i ich resztki dotrwały do odzyskaniu przez Polskę niepodległości.
Kajka umiera jako Mazur, zarazem jako Polak
Authors: Jasiński Janusz
Published: November 2020

Michał Kajka ur. w 1858 r., uczęszczał do szkoły ludowej w połowie polskiej, w połowie niemieckiej. Zaczął pisać wiersze od 1884 r. zawsze po polsku. Początkowo czuł się Mazurem – Prusakiem, ale do pełnej polskiej świadomości narodowej doszedł w 1918 r. Tymczasem Jerzy Łapo z Węgorzewa stwierdził (2018), że chociaż kochał język polski, a zwłaszcza gwarę mazurską, nie utożsamiał się w pełni z narodem polskim. Jednak badania naukowe wykazały, że od 1918 r. do śmierci w 1940 r. czuł się Polakiem. Nawet, gdy Polska przegrała wojnę w 1939 r,, pozostał Mazurem-Polakiem.

Published: November 2020

Zakochana kobieta potrafi się skupić jedynie na ukochanym mężczyźnie. Zatem jest on pierwszą myślą po przebudzeniu i ostatnią przed zaśnięciem. Ukochany mężczyzna jest bowiemcentrum jej świata. Tak też było w przypadku uczucia Joanny Potockiej (Pilawa Srebrna) z pałacu w Krzeszowicach do Stanisława Potockiego (Pilawa Złota) z Chrząstowa.

Zakochana Joanna pisze listy do Stanisława. Należy podkreślić, że to korespondencja z okresu ich narzeczeństwa. Zatem ukazuje nam Stanisława jako mężczyznę idealnego. Nie bez znaczenia jest fakt, iż przyszli małżonkowi znali się już wcześniej, a ich rodziny były ze sobą spokrewnione. Stanisław Potocki to mężczyzna przystojny, świetnie zbudowany, a przede wszystkim majętny i doskonale wykształcony. Planowane małżeństwo miało przynieść splendor obu rodzinom, a do tego było długo wyczekiwanym wydarzeniem towarzyskim wśród bliższej i dalszej rodziny. Stanisław Potocki jest wzorcem mężczyzny, narzeczonego, a w końcu męża, jaki przyjęto w rodzinach ziemiańskich o podobnym pochodzeniu i statusie majątkowym.
Losy Archiwum Archidiecezji Warmińskiej uwarunkowane dwoma totalitaryzmami
Authors: Kopiczko Andrzej
Published: November 2020

Archiwum Archidiecezji Warmińskiej w Olsztynie ma długą i skomplikowaną historię. W 1243 r. zostało założone Archiwum Biskupie, a w 1260 r. – Warmińskiej Kapituły Katedralnej.W 1933 r. doszło do ich połączenia i nadania nazwy „Archiwum Diecezjalne we Fromborku”. Jednak już w czasie wojen krzyżacko-polskich zbiory były narażone na niebezpieczeństwa, stąd chroniono je m.in. w Gdańsku i Olsztynie. Straty poniosło także w czasie „potopu” i wojny północnej. Jednak największe zniszczenia powstały pod koniec II wojny światowej, gdy we Fromborku żołnierze Armii Czerwonej spalili tzw. pałac Ferbera, a wraz z nim archiwum bieżące z dokumentami od połowy XIX w. Dużą liczbę zbiorów Rosjanie wywieźli też do Moskwy, a ich zwrot nastąpił dopiero w połowie lat pięćdziesiątych XX w.

Szczególnie trudnymi okresami w dziejach archiwum były czasy nazizmu i komunizmu. W okresie panowania Hitlera zbiory zaczęto traktować instrumentalnie, wykorzystując je przede wszystkim do potwierdzania pochodzenia aryjskiego i realizowania polityki „czystej rasy”. Wówczas też nastąpiła koncentracja ksiąg metrykalnych z parafii diecezji warmińskiej w Archiwum Diecezjalnym we Fromborku, a w 1943 r. przetransportowano je do zachodnich Niemiec. Zbiorami opiekowała się pierwsza w dziejach tej instytucji kobieta – Anneliese Birch-Hirschfeld. Po II wojnie światowej centralne instytucje diecezjalne przeniesiono z Fromborka do Olsztyna i wówczas pojawił się problem ze znalezieniem odpowiedniego budynkuna archiwalia. Wiele trudności nastręczyło też ich przewiezienie, ponieważ Wzgórze Fromborskie aż do połowy 1946 r. zajmowały wojska sowieckie. W 1947 r. już prawie wszystkie zbiory znajdowały się w Olsztynie w gmachu przy ul. Mariańskiej, gdzie umieszczono Kurię Biskupią i Niższe Seminarium Duchowne, a od 1949 r. także Wyższe Seminarium Duchowne. Jednak w 1961 r. lokalne władze państwowe zabrały ten budynek, a w zamian udostępniły dla seminarium inny, dużo mniejszy, przy pl. Bema. To spowodowało, że archiwalia znalazły się w aż w trzech miejscach. Dopiero na początku lat siedemdziesiątych XX w. diecezja warmińska – po wielu latach starań – uzyskała zgodę na budowę gmachu dla biblioteki i archiwum przy ul. Kopernika. Dzięki temu od 1977 r. Archiwum Diecezji (od 1992 r. – Archidiecezji) Warmińskiej posiada dobre warunki do przechowywania i udostępniania zbiorów.
Kształcenie obywateli Senegalu w Polsce w kontekście relacji polsko-senegalskich. Zarys problemu
Authors: Ndiaye Bara
Published: November 2020

Autor analizuje, poprzez system kształcenia cudzoziemców w Polsce zagadnienie związane z kształceniem obywateli Senegalu w Polsce na przestrzeni ostatnich dekad XX w. oraz w pierwszych dekadach XXI w. Poza dostępnymi materiałami źródłowymi, publikacjami książkowymi oraz aktami prawnymi, autor wykorzystał również ankiety przeprowadzone wśród Senegalczyków-absolwentów polskich uczelni. W tekście przedstawiono historię oraz ewolucję systemu kształcenia cudzoziemców w Polsce od pierwszej połowie lat 50. do dzisiejszej Narodowej Agencji Wymiany Akademickiej (NAWA) oraz status prawny obcokrajowych studentów. Przedstawiono także relacje pomiędzy Polską a Senegalem. Liczba studentów senegalskich na uczelniach w Polsce, zarówno w przeszłości, jak i obecnie była i jest mała, jeśli nie znikoma. Autor uważa, że warto dołożyć wszelkich starań, aby to zmienić, ponieważ w dalszej perspektywie przyniesie to obopólne korzyści.

Le by-pass duodéno-iléal à anastomose unique avec sleeve gastrectomie (SADI-S) : technique chirurgicale
Authors: Poghosyan T.
Published: November 2020

Le by-pass duodéno-iléal à anastomose unique avec gastrectomie longitudinale calibrée (SADI-S) est une intervention bariatrique complexe en cours d’évaluation. Son efficacité (85–90 % de perte d’excès pondéral) est fondée sur trois mécanismes : restrictif, malabsorptif et hormonal. Les risques chirurgicaux principaux sont la plaie du cholédoque, la fistule duodénale suite à la dévascularisation et la plaie de l’artère gastroduodénale. Compte tenu de son effet malabsorptif important ; en première intention, elle s’adresse surtout aux patients en obésité extrême (indice de masse corporelle : IMC ≥ à 50 kg/m2), mais peut être aussi proposée comme intervention de recours en cas d’échec après sleeve gastrectomie.
Sade for Sade’s Sake
Authors: Delers Olivier
Published: November 2020

This article focuses on Paul Chan’s 2007 art projectSade for Sade’s Sake, which brings together a five-hour-long video installation, a number of drawings and collages, and a series of fonts inspired by the Marquis de Sade’s writings called “alternumerics.” I argue that Chan is engaged in a transmedial process that is intensely visual and performative and that actualizes Sade’s aesthetics by reconfiguring the textual logorrhea central to his writing style. In his video installation, Chan imagines a new kind of sexual tableau that seeks to “show it all,” but also turns the larger political statement that his project set out to make into an abstract exploration of forms. InSade for Sade’s Sake, Chan suggests that Sade is caught in a transmedial loop. Sade’s writings are channeled into different types of visual media that try to convey the nature of his worldview and to capture its essence. In the end, however, images make way for a new kind of Sadean language that is based on the original texts but that also tends toward abstraction and the endless repetition of the same patterns.
Voicing Pride and Futurity in the Age of A.I.
Authors: Chen Jing , Tsai Pao-Chang
Published: November 2020

This interview deals with the question of queer Sinofuturisms through the works of Pao-Chang Tsai, a Taiwanese performer, playwright, and director who became renowned for exploring the Taiwanese theaterscape with new media and novel performative techniques. With a special focus on his acclaimed theatrical productionSolo Date(2016), the conversation inquires into themes of artificial intelligence, queer futurity, and transcultural performance featured in this one-man show. Linking the representation of A.I. interface as queer body with the demand for LGBT rights in Sinophone contexts, Tsai’s innovative solo performance has examined changing discourses toward queerness and futurism in the age of advanced artificial intelligence. The touching story of how a gay man struggled to process his grief after losing the love of his life further raises critical ethical questions, since the protagonist’s true identity is an A.I. robot.

Does the Fact of Undergoing Natural Hazards Influence People's Environmental Values and Ecological Commitment?
Authors: Long Thierry , Pantaléon Nathalie , Kleerebezem Rolf , Babutsidze Zakaria
Published: November 2020

This article explores urban dwellers’ perceptions of climate change and their propensity to act ecologically. It argues that a better understanding of people's moral and psychological functioning toward ecology could guide the creation of more suitable environmental management strategies. The study is based on semi-structured interviews investigating the environmental values of urban inhabitants; the interviews were conducted in 2018, in a coastal French area affected by recurring floods. Our results showed no significant relationships among the three studied factors of experiencing natural hazards, becoming aware of sustainable issues and developing intentions to ‘act green’. In fact, these last two aspects depended mainly on informal education and socio-economic conditions. Using a ‘heuristic of fear’ (Jonas 1984) to develop sustainability practices is therefore inefficient, at best. Instead, practical efforts should be centred on upbringing, education, self-efficacy and socio-economic and political regulations, especially in a country like France where people are historically used to welcoming collective regulations by the Welfare State.
A Simplified Thermal Design Model for a Single Vertical U-Tube Borehole Utilized in Ground-Coupled Source Heat Pumps
Authors: Tarrad Ali H.
Published: November 2020

The present work dealt with the thermal assessments of the ground-coupled heat pump heat exchangers utilized in the field of geothermal energy source. A model was performed to predict the overall thermal resistance of a single vertical heat exchanger embedded in the borehole. The philosophy of the U-tube replacement with a single equivalent tube size was implemented with new development. Four tube sizes were used to build several borehole geometry configurations, they were (9.53) mm, (12.7) mm, (15.88) mm, and (19.05) mm accommodated in borehole sizes of (65) mm, (75) mm, (90) mm, and (100) mm respectively. Twelve borehole geometry configurations were examined as DX condensers circulate R410A refrigerant. These geometry assemblies produced a range of (0.29-0.57) for tube spacing to borehole ratio tested at (0.73) W/m K to (1.9) W/m K filling thermal conductivity range. The results of the present correlation showed good agreement with previously published correlations in the open literature. A mean temperature difference between the condensed vapor refrigerant and soil was assumed to have existed as (14) °C. Increasing the tube spacing from (2) to (3) times the tube diameter exhibited an augmentation in the heat loading of the borehole. This rise in the heat loadings of the U-tube was (8-10) % and (13-17) % for the geometry configurations of (9.53) mm and (12.7) mm tube sizes respectively. The tube diameter has also shown its importance in the thermal process of the borehole. At (75) mm borehole size and tube spacing of (2) times tube outside diameter, the predicted borehole thermal resistance for (9.53) mm tube diameter was higher than that of (19.05) mm one by (78-80) % for the test range of grout thermal conductivity.

Extraction of itemset frequent is an important theme in Datamining. Several algorithm have been developed based on Apriori algorithm during the last decades. This paper deals with the FP- tree and Titanic algorithms. FP-Tree is an improvement to the Apriori method witch generate frequents itemsets without generating candidate. The Titanic algorithm traverses the level search space by focusing on the determination of the minimum generators (or key Item sets). In addition, this paper studies the differences between these two algorithms and shows advantages and disadvantages of each one.
Image Processing in Artificial Intelligence

Published: November 2020

Machines can learn to elucidate images the same way our brains do and analyse those images much more thoroughly than we can. When applied to Image Processing, Artificial Intelligence (AI) can propel face recognition and security functionality in public places, detecting and recognizing intruders, objects, and patterns in live images and videos, etc. Image processing technology focuses on the development of data extraction methods applied to the statistical classification of visual imagery. In classical image processing systems, an image is pre-processed to remove noise (denoising), segmented to produce close object boundaries, analysed to extract a representative feature, and compared to the ideal object feature vectors by a classifier to decide the nearest object classification and its associated level. In this paper, we discuss about digital image processing and the role of AI in it.

Published: November 2020

Educational Institutions are facing enormous tasks of marking and grading students at the end of every examination within the shortest possible time. Marking theoretical essay questions which involves thousands of examinees can be biased, subjective and time-consuming, leading to variation in grades awarded by different human assessors. This study presents an Essay Grading System called Intelligent Natural Language Processing Essay Grading System (iNLPEGS) with high accuracy percentage and minimal loss function for scoring assessment that can accommodate more robust questions. Secondary dataset collected from Kaggle provided by The Hewlett Foundation was used to aid semantic analysis and Part of Speech tagging. Assemblage of Computer Science questions and answers were collected from Babcock University Computer Science Department to create a more robust dataset to ensure high reliability. An Intelligent Natural Language Processing Essay Grading Model was designed based on Enhanced Latent Semantic Analysis using Part of Speech n-gram Inverse Document Frequency. Web based application was developed using Django, Gensim, Jupyter Notebook and Anaconda as the development tools due to availability of several Python libraries with SQLite as the database. Results of performance evaluation of iNLPEGS showed accuracy of 89.03% and error of 10.97% connoting that there is very little difference between scores from the developed intelligent essay grading system and a human grader. Also, the loss function from Root Mean Square Error (RSME) showed value of 0.620 which is very small and thus signifies closeness to the line of best fit from the regression equation.

Anesthetics have been important in ornamental fishes for transport and restriction of behaviors as well as for surgical applications and studies in science. Also, more economical and appropriate anesthetics can be common choice for these stiuations. In the study, a total of two hundred and fifty two zebrafish (forty two females and forty two males in each group) divided in three groups were studied as group A (Anise oil); group T (Thyme oil); group M (Mint oil). Anesthesia intake and lethal dose values were determined by following the anesthetic entry and recovery times. There was no anesthetic effect in group A, while anesthetic effects occured in groups T and M in concentrations 1, 5, 10, 20 and 30 mg/l. Similarity was found in groups T and M in terms of anesthesia entry and recovery times (P>0.05). Nevertheless, no mortality occured in group M. However, 5mg/l tyme oil anesthesia was determined to cause 50% mortality in male fishes (group T). It was also observed that mint oil has an anesthetic effect on zebrafish with increa-sing doses determined by anesthesia entry and recorvery times (group M, P

Published: November 2020

The Brazilian banking system is in a stage of maturity conducive to the receipt of a new entrant that, following the global trend, are FinTechs[3]. In this way, these companies that use technology to provide financial services, are beginning to impact the national financial market, bringing with it potential to shake the results of the country’s large financial corporations. This article has a broad overview of the concentration of the national banking market, compared to global standards, as well as the dimensioning of opportunity for new entrants through technologies established by startups[4], in an irreversible process in terms of innovation. The methodology used here was based on a broad literature review resulting in the identification and consequences of the main impacts of this new financial order, in which size is no longer so relevant, given the implementation of new practices for a constantly renewed spectrum of clients. New entrants to the financial market should be truly customer-centric, agile and able to adapt to a rapidly changing environment, skilled at working with companies in a complex ecosystem of partnerships and markets. They should seek excellence in data analysis, dynamic pricing and the construction of technologies that allow new functionalities to be developed and implemented. New needs, practical, without the bank status symbols.

Published: November 2020

El sistema bancario brasileño se encuentra en una etapa de vencimiento propicia para la recepción de un nuevo participante que, siguiendo la tendencia global, son FinTechs[3]. De esta manera, estas empresas que utilizan la tecnología para proporcionar servicios financieros, están empezando a impactar en el mercado financiero nacional, trayendo consigo el potencial de sacudir los resultados de las grandes corporaciones financieras del país. Este artículo tiene una amplia visión general de la concentración del mercado bancario nacional, en comparación con las normas mundiales, así como el dimensionamiento de las oportunidades para los nuevos participantes a través de tecnologías establecidas por las startups[4], en un proceso irreversible en términos de innovación. La metodología utilizada aquí se basó en una amplia revisión bibliográfica que dio lugar a la identificación y consecuencias de los principales impactos de este nuevo orden financiero, en el que el tamaño ya no es tan relevante, dada la implementación de nuevas prácticas para un espectro de clientes constantemente renovado. Los nuevos participantes en el mercado financiero deben estar verdaderamente centrados en el cliente, ágiles y capaces de adaptarse a un entorno que cambia rápidamente, capacitados para trabajar con empresas en un complejo ecosistema de asociaciones y mercados. Deben buscar la excelencia en el análisis de datos, la fijación de precios dinámicos y la construcción de tecnologías que permitan desarrollar e implementar nuevas funcionalidades. Nuevas necesidades, prácticas, sin los símbolos de estado del banco.

Published: November 2020

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui factor-faktor yang mempengaruhi keinginan memiliki anak lebih dari dua di Nusa Tenggara Barat. Data yang digunakan adalah Survey Penduduk Antar Sensus (SUPAS) Tahun 2015 dengan unit analisis Wanita Usia Subur yang sudah menikah usia 10-54 tahun. Analisis dilakukan dengan metode regresi logistik biner. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa wanita usia subur di Nusa Tenggara Barat yang telah memiliki dua anak sebagian besar masih menginginkan anak yang ketiga. Semakin lama ibu menikah dan semakin tua usia ibu, kecenderungan untuk menambah anak lagi setelah memiliki dua anak semakin berkurang. Penggunaan KB dan daerah tempat tinggal menunjukkan adanya perbedaan keinginan untuk menambah anak lagi setelah memiliki dua anak. Kelompok umur, jenis kelamin anak, lama dalam ikatan perkawinan, penggunaan alat/cara KB dan pulau tempat tinggal berpengaruh signifikan terhadap keinginan memiliki anak lebih dari dua di Nusa Tenggara Barat.  The aim of this study is to determine the factors that influence women’s desire to have more than two children in West Nusa Tenggara. The data used is the 2015 Intercensal Population Survey (SUPAS) with the unit of analysis is married women aged 10-54 years and analyzed with binary logistic regression method. The analysis shows that most women of childbearing age in West Nusa Tenggara who already have two children still want to have children. The longer the mother gets married and the older the mother's age, the tendency to have more children decreases. The use of contraception and the condition around residential areas shows differences in the desire to have more children. Age group, sex of children, length of marriage, use of contraception methods, and place of living have significant effects on the desire to have more than two children in West Nusa Tenggara.
Sire Effect on Reproductive and Growth Performance of Local and Exotic Sows In Rivers State, Nigeria
Authors: F. I. Ologbose
Published: November 2020

The study was conducted to determine sire effect on reproductive and growth performance of local and exotic sows in Rivers State, Nigeria. The experiment involved three breeds of pigs (Local pigs (LP), Landrace (Lr) and Large White (Lw)). Eighteen breeding pigs consisting three local sires and fifteen gilts (local and exotic) were used to generate seventy two progenies for the experiment. Reproductive performance such as Gestation length (GL), Litter size at birth (LSAB), Litter weight at birth (LWAB), Litter size at weaning (LSAW) and Litter Weight at Weaning (LWAW) were taken from the three different crosses for comparison. Data on quantitative traits such as Body weight (BW), Body length (BL), Heart Girth (HG), Height at wither (HT) and Rear Girth (RG) were taken on seventy two progenies resulting from the three crosses. The results showed significant (P<0.05) difference of sire on GL, LSAB, LWAB, LSAW and LWAW. LP x Lw performed better than LP x Lr in all the reproductive performances considered while, LP x LP recorded the least. The result also revealed that there was significant (P<0.05) effect of sire on the growth performance (i.e body weight and linear body measurements) of the progenies produced from the different three crosses used for the study, where, progenies from LP x Lr recorded highest BW and linear body measurements than progenies from LP x Lw, while, progenies from LP x LP recorded the least at week 0 (birth), 6 (weaning) and 12. The improvement in crossbred could be attributed to dominant genes from the exotic sow.

Published: November 2020

In any institution, success is majorly determined by the procurement practices adopted and how well these procurement practices are implemented. The study sought to establish the effect of procurement practices on the supply chain performance of selected public Universities in Kenya. The study adopted a cross-sectional descriptive survey research design and the target population was all public Universities in Counties in the Eastern and Central Region of Kenya. The sample size comprised of 66 staff members. The study used multiple regression analysis to determine the significance of the relationship between the dependent variable and all the independent variables pooled together. Principle component analysis was used to obtain the regression models. Kaiser Meyer Olkin (KMO) sample adequacy and Bartlett’s sphericity tests were used to identify whether the output from the principal component analysis were suitable for regression. The results indicated strategic partnerships ranked first, followed by inventory management, procurement planning, and finally financial resource management in terms of significance influence on supply chain performance. The policy implication is that Universities should embark on training of supply chain players to equip them with relevant knowledge. The research findings will be of help to both public and private entities in improving on their supply chains.
A biodiverzitási ismeretek megjelenése a magyar oktatásban: Az éjszakai állatok bemutatása a biológia tantárgy keretében
Authors: Nagy Éva
Published: November 2020

A WWF Living Planet 2018. évi jelentése szerint (Living Planet index) 1970 és 2014 között a világ fajállománya 60%-kal csökkent, de a faji diverzitás tényleges csökkenéséről, annak részleteiről a felnövekvő generáció nem rendelkezik elegendő és naprakész információkkal a tankönyvek anyagából. Holott minél szélesebb körű ismeretek állnak rendelkezésre a fajok sokféleségéről, annál könnyebben megvalósítható a fenntarthatóság minden életforma számára, így az ember számára is. A környezeti nevelés tényeinek figyelembevételével elemeztem az iskolai tananyagot. Tanulmányomban egy tartalomelemzés eredményeit foglalom össze, amely kiterjed a 10. évfolyamos magyar középiskolai osztályok napjainkban alkalmazott tankönyveiben előforduló éjszakai állatfajok vizsgálatára, mivel a biológiai sokféleség veszteségének egyik legveszélyeztetettebb csoportját képezik az éjszakai életmódot folytató állatok.

Philadelphia-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) have been traditionally considered as indistinctly slowly progressing conditions; recent evidence proves that a subset of cases have a rapid evolution, so that MPN prognosis needs to be personalized. We identified a new morphological parameter, defined as megakaryocytic activation (M-ACT) based on the coexistence of megakaryocytic emperipolesis, megakaryocytes (MK) cluster formation and evidence of arrangement of collagen fibers around the perimeter of MK. We retrospectively analyzed the bone marrow biopsy of two MPN cohorts of patients with polycythemia (PV) (n=64) and non-PV patients (including essential thrombocythemia, and early/prefibrotic primary myelofibrosis [PMF]) (n=222). M-ACT showed a significant correlation with splenomegaly, white blood cell count, and lactate dehydrogenase serum levels in both groups, with JAK2 V617F allele burden in PV patients, and with CALR mutations, and platelet count in non-PV patients. Progression-free survival, defined as PV-to-secondary MF progression and non-PV-to-overt PMF, was worse in both PV and early/prefibrotic PMF patients with M-ACT in comparison to those without M-ACT (P<0.0001). Interestingly, M-ACT was not found in the subgroup of essential thrombocythemia patients. In conclusion, M-ACT can be helpful in the differential diagnosis of MPN and can represent a new morphologic parameter with a predictive value for progression of MPN.
