THE DIGITAL ECOSYSTEM AND ENTREPRENEURIAL MUSIC DISTRIBUTION: A FORCE FIELD PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Mbhele Thokozani Patmond , Ramnandan Praveena
Published: February 2021

The world of business has evolved from the 19th century (steam, rail and electricity) to the 20th century (telephone, radio, television and, especially, the computer as the greatest information technology that converts analogue signals into a digital form including binary digits), and the 21st century (the fourth industrial revolution (4th IR) – described as the advent of “cyber-physical systems” involving entirely new capabilities for people and machines). Digital entrepreneurship is an emergent phenomenon in which new digital artefacts, platforms and infrastructure are used to pursue innovative and entrepreneurial opportunities, which, to a certain extent calls into questions the relevance and applicability of traditional understandings of entrepreneurship. The study on which this article is based investigated digital entrepreneurship’s impact on the dynamic social networking market in light of the infusion of disruptive and innovative technology. It aimed to determine the entrepreneurship capability and competence that impact on digital music change management; and to examine the extent to which digital music distribution balances the driving forces of digitisation and the restraining forces from disruptive technology. An exploratory research design was adopted using univariate, bivariate and multivariate statistical analysis techniques to analyse the data collected from 217 musicians. The study found that the Internet is capable of reliable delivery of music processes, products and services, thereby enhancing supply chain distribution competence and capability. Digital entrepreneurial innovations enable independent artists to create music according to their tastes and customer demand. Independent music production and creation drive the economic entrepreneurial dimension while technological advancements encourage digital independent music distribution.
REDUCTION OF POLLUTANTS IN THE RESIDENTIAL SECTOR BY MIXING HYDROGEN INTO THE NATURAL GAS NETWORK IN HUNGARY
Authors: Szunyog István , Galyas Anna Bella
Published: February 2021

According to some forecasts, hydrogen will play a significant role throughout the world by 2030 as an energy source, the biggest benefits of which include not only being able to come from renewable sources, but thus storing the energy produced, which is not currently solved. The combustion of hydrogen does not produce CO2, only negligible amounts of combustion air, unlike methane. This will reduce GHG emissions associated with end-user equipment. In this article, the authors examine the amount of hydrogen that can be fed into the Hungarian natural gas network in accordance with the current gas quality standard, and then carry out a comparative analysis of the methane, the main component that makes up hydrogen and natural gas. The authors will study the exact effect of hydrogen content on natural gas-regulated devices and estimate the theoretical CO2 emissions available in the Hungarian residential sector at different rates of hydrogen.
Gaze Behavior of Attacking Karate Athletes In-situ
Authors: Bandow Nicole , Witte Kerstin
Published: February 2021

Previous studies have analyzed the gaze behavior of defending karate athletes using video-based attacks. The results show that karate athletes use a gaze anchor around the opponent’s head and chest. An analysis of gaze behavior of a karate athlete performing an attack in-situ has not been realized, yet. The aim of this study is, therefore, to analyze the gaze behavior of 11 karate athletes immediately before they perform an attack in-situ. The number of fixations, fixation duration, and fixation location were analyzed over the last 2000 ms before the athletes executed one of four instructed attacks. The results show no significant differ-ences in gaze parameters with respect to the type of attack. The main finding revealed a gaze anchor around the opponent’s head, chest, and leading arm, confirming previous studies of defending karate athletes whileviewing video-based attacks.
The role of innovation intermediary organisations in forming value creating meetings: the agri-food firm perspective
Authors: Germundsson Lisa Blix , Frankelius Per , Norrman Charlotte
Published: February 2021

The aim of this study is to explore the concept of value creating meetings that connect agri-food firms with other crucial actors with whom they can collaborate or co-innovate, and related to this, examine the role of innovation intermediary organisations in the forming of such value creating meetings. The research design involves three case studies of intermediary organisations, within the agri-food sector in Sweden, each with an adherent case of a value creating meeting. The method comprises data collected through documents, interviews and insider accounts. The findings include the notion that three factors – problem, professionals and platform – are important to combine in order to facilitate value creation. We also show that intermediaries play an important role in the value creation process and that this process could be summarised into four steps: problem recognition, contact creation, dialogue facilitation and value creation. We elaborate on the role of innovation intermediaries, give examples of how value creating meetings could be arranged and what such meetings can lead to in case of outcome. Practical implications for policy makers and agri-food business firms include that intermediary organisations can play an important bridging role in a complex and fragmented context, offering contacts, networks and value creating meetings for targeted actors. Intermediary organisations need to focus on forming value creating meetings, work actively across sectoral boundaries, and allocate adequate resources for mediating efforts.
Critical success factors of public-private partnership from 2000 to 2019: A literature review
Authors: Natalia Lydia , Tanzil Nanny Dewi , Sari Prima Yusi
Published: February 2021

Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is one of the schemes that have inspired many countries in infrastructure development. One of the most discussed PPP topics by researchers is the concept of Critical Success Factors (CSF). Therefore, this study examines CSF publications for PPP projects from selected journal sites from 2000-2019. The results showed that research on CSF in PPP began to increase in 2012. The most identified CSFs were appropriate risk allocation and sharing, competitive and transparent procurement processes, favorable and efficient legal frameworks, commitment and responsibility of the public and private sectors, and a robust and reliable private consortium. Furthermore, it was also found that most countries that were the objects of research on PPP CSF were China, followed by Hong Kong and Australia. The results also show that the dominant research focuses on multi-sector types of infrastructure where CSF can be applied to all infrastructure sectors. The findings obtained in this study can provide an overview of CSFs for projects with PPP schemes in the future. Besides, the identified CSFs can be applied to any PPP infrastructure sector. They can assist stakeholders in increasing the likelihood of PPP project success and can be adopted for further research
Digital financial inclusion and fiscal solvency in Uganda’s local governments: A review of regulation mediation
Authors: Onyango-Delewa Paul , Nkote Isaac Nabeta
Published: February 2021

Fiscal solvency has become a popular phenomenon in numerous decentralizing countries in recent years. The ability to mobilize adequate revenue to fund expenditure in a given budget period, and provide public goods and services, makes fiscal solvency very pertinent, especially in local government. However, policy, practice, and research, claim that most local entities, both in the developed and developing world, rarely achieve required fiscal solvency standards. While no clear explanation of the problem abounds, digital financial inclusion dominates the ongoing debate. Besides, regulation is also considered a very crucial factor for fiscal solvency. This study examines the probable mediation effect regulation has on the digital financial inclusion-fiscal solvency relationship in local governments in Uganda, East Africa. Based on a cross-sectional research design, data were collected from 21 districts, nine municipalities, and many sub-counties in the country’s post-conflict northern regions. The data were then subjected to structural equation modeling analysis. Its findings reveal that digital financial inclusion explains changes in fiscal solvency in surveyed local governments. Moreover, regulation has an indirect influence on the digital financial inclusion-fiscal solvency formation. Findings implications to practice and theory are discussed, and future research direction is provided
Applications and limitations of DNA barcoding in Environmental Biology
Authors:   Department of Fish and Wildlife Conservation, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA24061, United States, Hallerman E.M.
Published: February 2021

Species identification is often difficult, especially for early life-history stages, poorly known species within diverse taxa, and microbes. Molecular genetics has contributed the technique of DNA barcoding, offering a low-tech, potentially high-impact tool for identification of species. After briefly describing a range of applications, this review focus on its use for identification of larval fishes. Molecular identification of larval fishes would increase knowledge of larval fish ecology, providing insights into reproductive ecology and population dynamics, and contribute to identification and protection of critical habitat. Other applications of environmental interest include identification of species from fecal starting material and forensic investigation. Limiting application of DNA barcoding is the environmental community's unfamiliarity withthe technique and limited development of DNA sequence archives for some taxa.
Mutation profiling of the F508del CFTR allele using haplotype-resolved long-read next generation sequencing
Authors: Dilernia Dario , Amin Pooneh , Flores Julie , Stecenko Arlene , Sorscher Eric
Published: February 2021

Current approaches to characterize the mutational profile of CFTR are
based on targeted mutation analysis (TMA) or whole gene studies derived
from short-read next generation sequencing (NGS). However, these methods
lack phasing capability which, in certain scenarios, can provide
clinically valuable information. In the present work, we performed
near-full length CFTR using Single-Molecule Real-Time Sequencing to
produce haplotype resolved data from F508del homozygous and F508del
compound heterozygous individuals. This approach utilizes target
enrichment of the CFTR gene using biotinylated probes, facilitates
multiplexing samples in the same sequencing run, and utilizes
fully-automated bioinformatics pipelines for error correction and
variant calling. We show a remarkable conservation of F508del haplotype,
consistent with the single gene founder effect, as well as diverse
mutational profiles in non-F508del alleles. By the same method, 105
single nucleotide polymorphisms exhibiting invariant linkage to F508del
CFTR (which better define the founder haplotype) were identified. High
level homology between F508del sequences derived from heterozygotes, and
those obtained from homozygous individuals, demonstrate accuracy of this
method to produce haplotype resolved sequencing. The studies provide a
new diagnostic technology for detailed analysis of complex CFTR alleles
linked to disease severity.
Patterns of rabies cases in South Africa between 1993-2019, including the role of wildlife
Authors: Koeppel Katja , Schalkwyk Ockert van , Thompson Peter
Published: February 2021

Rabies is a global viral zoonosis endemic to South Africa, resulting in
fatal encephalitis in warm blooded animals, including humans. The loss
of human lives and economic losses in rural areas through loss of
livestock are substantial. A review was conducted of all confirmed
rabies cases in South Africa from 1993 to 2019, with a total of 11 701
cases identified to species level to assess the wildlife plays in the
epidemiology of rabies. A spatiotemporal cluster analysis using a
discrete Poisson space-time probability model, accounting for underlying
estimated dog and livestock densities, identified 13 significant
clusters (p<0.05). These included four long-term clusters
lasting more than 8 years in duration and seven short term clusters
lasting less than 2 years, with the remaining two clusters being of
intermediate length. Outside of these endemic clusters, wildlife
outbreaks in the remainder of South Africa were often less than one and
a half years in duration most likely due to the rapid decline of
wildlife vectors, especially jackals associated with rabies infection.
Domestic dogs accounted for 59.8% of cases, with domestic cats (3.2%),
livestock (21.1%) and wildlife (15.8%) making up the remainder of the
cases. Yellow mongoose (Cynictis penicillate) was the most frequently
affected wildlife species, followed by bat-eared fox (Otocyon
megalotis), black-backed jackal (Canis mesomelas), meerkat (Suricata
suricatta) and aardwolf (Proteles cristatus). Rabies in wildlife species
followed different spatial distributions: black-backed jackal cases were
more common in the north-western parts of South Africa, yellow mongoose
cases more frequent in central South Africa, and bat-eared fox and
aardwolf cases were more frequent in southern and western South Africa.
Clusters often spanned several provinces, showing the importance of
coordinated rabies control campaigns across administrative boundaries,
and high-risk areas were highlighted for rabies in South Africa.

Objectives

To determine the additive genetic and environmental contributions to the vertical growth of craniofacial structures.

Materials and Methods

The sample consisted of 64 untreated monozygotic (44 male, 20 female) and 61 untreated dizygotic twins (32 male, 29 female). Lateral cephalograms taken at 15 and 18 years of age were traced to analyze the sella-nasion–nasal line angle (SN-NL), nasal line–mandibular line angle (ML-NL), sella-nasion–mandibular line angle (SN-ML), sella-nasion–sella-gnathion angle (Y-axis), posterior face height/anterior face height (PFH/AFH), and lower anterior face height/anterior face height (LAFH/AFH). The genetic and environmental components of variance were analyzed with structural equation modeling for multilevel mixed effects.

Results

At 15 years of age, strong dominant genetic control was seen for NL-ML (81%), LAFH/AFH (73%), and Y-axis (57%), whereas strong additive genetic components were found for PFH/AFH (78%), SN-NL (58%), and SN-ML (57%). Unique environmental factors accounted for 18–42% of observed variance, with SN-NL being affected the most (42%). At 18 years of age, only LAFH/AFH (86%) was under strong dominant genetic control, whereas the remainder were under additive genetic influence. The sole exception was SN-NL, which changed from additive to unique environmental influence.

Conclusions

Either additive or dominant genetic components were found at 15 or 18 years of age for most vertical variables. Environmental factors accounted for about 10–40%, with SN-NL being mostly affected.
Natural Protection From Type 1 Diabetes in Non Obese Diabetic (Nod) Mice is Characterized by a Unique Pancreatic Islet Phenotype
Authors: Boldison Joanne , Thayer Terri C. , Davies Joanne , Wong F. Susan
Published: February 2021

The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse develops
spontaneous type 1 diabetes, with some features of disease that are very
similar to the human disease. However, a proportion of NOD mice are naturally-protected
from developing diabetes, and currently studies characterising this cohort are
very limited. Here, using both immunofluorescence and multi-parameter flow
cytometry we focus on the pancreatic islet morphology and immune infiltrate
observed in naturally-protected NOD mice. We show that naturally-protected NOD
mice are characterised by an increased frequency of insulin-containing, smaller
sized, pancreatic islets. Although mice remain diabetes free, florid immune
infiltrate remains. However, this immune infiltrate is skewed towards a
regulatory phenotype in both T and B-cell compartments. Pancreatic islets have
an increased frequency of IL-10 producing B cells and associated cell surface
markers. Resident memory CD69+CD8+ T cells show a
significant shift towards reduced CD103 expression, while CD4+ T
cells have increased FoxP3+CTLA4+ expression. These data indicate
that naturally-protected NOD mice have a unique islet signature and provide new
insight into regulatory mechanisms within pancreatic islets.

Authors: Wake Addisu Dabi
Published: February 2021

There is a considerable increase in the proportion of diabetic mellitus (DM) globally. The prevalence of Type 2 DM (T2DM) is increasing across the all over the world. The consumption of alcohol is also rising globally including among the T2DM individuals. Alcohol drinking, principally the heavier consuming is a significant risk factor for many health problems and, thus, it is a main contributor to the global burden of disease. Therefore, the present review article was intended to investigate the effects of alcohol consumption among T2DM individuals which mainly focused on its effect on glycemic control, cardiovascular disease (CVD), mortality associated with T2DM. Several studies have found that light to moderate alcohol consumption among T2DM patients have the beneficial effects regarding the glycemic control, cardiovascular disease, mortality associated with T2DM. However, heavy alcohol ingestion among these individuals has the critical adverse effects. As suggestions, advice on alcohol use should largely aim at lowering heavy ingestions among T2DM subjects. These individuals should be advised on decreasing heavy alcohol consumption since the consequences of heavy amount of alcohol consumption has a severe and substantial impacts on T2DM patients. Further, more attention is needed regarding to these critical public issues to avoid the complications associated with the heavy alcohol consumption among T2DM patients. Health education programs should be created and also any programs that can improve the awareness of these individuals is required to take place in order to improve their health.
SUSTAINABILITY IN ANTHROPOCENIC TIMES: A DIDACTIC PROPOSAL FOR A SOCIAL AND POLITICAL APPROACH OF PROBLEMS OF SUSTAINABILITY
Authors: Block Thomas , Paredis Erik , Van Aert Peter
Published: February 2021

COVID-19 reaffirms that we are living out the consequences of the Anthropocene. In terms of education this affirmation has considerable implications: we must overcome the profound divisions between the fields of Natural Sciences and the Social Sciences while at the same time recognizing the political character of educational and scientific practices.Sustainability is an idea that potentially embodies the elements that respond to these two challenges, but only distancing ourselves from a technocratic-instrumental approximation and assuming a political approach to the idea. Post-normal science provides an adequate framework for this because the emerging problems present democratic challenges that demand other academic and educational treatment.Our intention with this text is to contribute didactic material that incentivizes the introduction of this conceptual debate into the classroom setting. Far from proposing a confrontation between the dominant mode of thought, in this paper we propose an argument that seeks to untangle the basic components of our thesis and show the arbitrariness of all the theoretical constructions that result from that. We hope, in this way, to contribute to a transdisciplinary environmental and sustainability education that consists in uncovering the political dimension of this issue, to repoliticize education, transcend the division between relativism and objectivism and, encourage theoretical positioning without determinisms.

O PARADOXO DA HERMENÊUTICA JUDICIAL IDEOLÓGICA.
Authors: SCHURIG ALESSANDRA SCHERMA
Published: February 2021

Partindo da polissemia do conceito de ideologia, define-se que a interpretação judicial que se classifica como neutra e sem ideologias segue o paradigma metafísico que encobre a iluminação das estruturas de compreensão e define linguagem como terceiro entre sujeito e objeto. Demonstradas as incorreções do paradigma metafisico, propõe-se a adoção do paradigma hermenêutico da filosofia não analítica da linguagem visando transformar a impossibilidade de neutralidade em potencial interpretativo dialógico e construtivo para o processo judicial.

Dalla storicizzazione alla relativizzazione dei principi costituzionali. L’analisi interdisciplinare delle questioni bioetiche ha certamente rappresentato un importante stimolo per l’arricchimento interpretativo dei principi fondamentali posti alla base dell’edificio costituzionale. Il proficuo approfondimento da parte degli esperti, appartenenti alle scienze umane e a quelle biomediche, delle conseguenze prodotte dalle più sofisticare applicazioni tecnologiche, induce a ricercare nuove soluzioni esegetiche, mutevoli nel tempo, coerentemente alla continua trasformazione di una società per sua natura liquida.  In presenza di un’inarrestabile evoluzione delle conoscenze scientifiche, un approfondimento dell’indagine bioetica, consapevole della primazia dei diritti umani, potrà certamente contribuire ad un progressivo sviluppo interpretativo di principi storicizzati dal Costituente italiano nel

In general, the Brushless DC motor speed controller uses an Atmega 16 microcontroller and a MOSFET, which often increases the MOSFET's temperature, especially when the motor is loaded. This article discusses the use of the IC NE555 and CD4017 as a frequency regulator to the MOSFET gate by periodically igniting the forward voltage from the change in the potentiometer value. We carried out the test in an unloaded and unloaded state with voltage variations of 2.5 Vac, 7.5 Vac, 12.5 Vac, and 19.5 Vac. The test results show an excellent tool response where the higher the frequency value, the motor speed will increase. The maximum speed when unloaded reaches rpm at a frequency of 574.6. Whereas in the load test, the full speed reaches 20987 rpm at a frequency of 524.675 Hz. During the test, there was no temperature increase in the MOSFET.

Abstract — This paper discusses an application of FACTS (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) device in improving the stability of interconnected electric power system. FACTS devices are used primarily for controlling active- and/or reactive-power and also for voltage regulation. However, by employing some supplementary controllers, it can also be used for enhancing system electromechanical damping and stability as its secondary function. One of the most popular FACTS devices is UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller). UPFC is a third generation of FACTS device. This device combines the shunt compensator and static series capacitor as one device with a unified control system. UPFC has a unique ability in controlling simultaneously system power flow and voltage, and therefore, has a potential to be used for system damping and stability improvement. This paper investigates an application of UPFC in improving the stability of interconnected power system. The effectiveness of the device in enhancing system dynamic performance and stability has been confirmed through eigenvalue calculations and validated using time-domain simulations.Keywords— FACTS, UPFC, Damping, Stability, Electric Power System

Enhanced Fusion Mechanisms Towards Synthesizing Superheavy Elements
Authors: Bolivar Nelson Enrique , Vasilev Ivaylo T.
Published: February 2021

In nature all of the heavy elements are produced by nuclear fusion reactions, mostly in supernova explosions and neutron star collisions, so, this is to date the only known and proven mechanism to produce heavy elements in usable quantities. In this work we approach a difficult challenge, namely, the possibility of fusion of heavy elements, taking as a test case the heaviest observationally stable element - ²³⁸U, showing that it is feasible, at least in principle with the help of existing technologies. The main idea behind is to show that fusion of lighter - than z=184 - nuclei is conceptually viable examining the tunnel effect assisted by an auxiliary field that will produce a Sauter like effect, and this is the pathway to explore the synthesis of elements higher than z=118. The production of theoretical untested elements like Unoctquadium-184 or close Z species could open a new chapter in the physics of super-heavy elements, and leads to a deeper understanding of nuclear decay channels and stability conditions. Nuclear fusion of heavy elements will open the breach to produce neutron rich elements, so we may obtain a deep insight into the physics of the island of stability. This work will review basic aspects of fusion physics related to the assisted fusion mechanism. An enhanced fusion perspective is found generalizing the work of [1] to space dependent fields and the cases of ²H, ¹⁰⁶Pd and ²³⁸U are presented for several test fields. A final section reviewing laser confinement fusion actual experiments capable of achieving the required energies is also reported.

In the present investigation 8 soil samples were studied, with additions of 5 and 7% of addition of sugar Cane Bagasse Ash (SCBA), Portland Cement (PC) and combinations of these in different proportions. The characterization and classification of the study soil was carried out, determining the Natural Humidity, Granulometric Curve, Consistency Limits, soil classification according to the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) and AASHTO compaction. The results show that the use of the SCBA is viable to significantly improve the physical properties of the granular soil type Hydraulic Base, The partial substitution of SCBA for PC according to the results can be considered that it would contribute to more durable and therefore economical roads. In addition to contributing to the reduction in cement consumption, which would imply a decrease in the release of CO2 into the atmosphere due to the manufacture of Portland Cement.
