Images of Learning through Music: The Sounds of Cognition
Authors: Ritchie Laura
Published: September 2020

This innovative practice uses classical string instruments as the tools, and music as the medium for exploring learning new and complex tasks. In a face-to-face setting people experience playing violins, violas, and cellos as their learning is guided by visual and aural imagery, enabling engagement with complex cognitive and affective concepts through what appears to be play. By accessing concept knowledge directly through representation and then experience, the need for translation of technical or theoretical material is bypassed. The progressive introduction of mental and physical skills actively illustrates the cumulative impact of the cognitive, the coordination, and the interactive demands of playing the instruments. Active reflection in and on the experience of playing a musical instrument, working collaboratively, and allowing and enjoying public learning (and failure) is contextualised in terms of people’s self-efficacy beliefs, their attitudes toward learning and skill development, and the relevant transferability of these realised and learned ideas to their personal work and life situations.

Authors: Keating Stacen A. , Berland Alex , Capone Kathleen , Chickering Miriam J.
Published: September 2020

The Nurses international Open Educational Resources (NI-OER) directly addresses the global shortage of nurse educators by providing an open-access English-language curriculum for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. The aim of the program is to provide educators in low- and middle-income countries with international standard content suitable for low-resource settings. The NI-OER include classroom lectures, references and learning resources, evaluation materials, and checklists for clinical practice. In order to meet local requirements, users can adapt the material according to the Creative Commons license. The development of evidence-based educator materials is a volunteer effort by two sponsoring organizations, Nurses International and the Bangladesh Health Project. Over time, additional resources and translations will be developed using communities of practice.
The TIS Methodology: An Approach for Purposeful, Relational Communication
Authors: Grady Maureen , Peacock-Johnson Annette , Kay Welle Mary
Published: September 2020

Patients frequently identify communication with nurses as the most important aspect that influences their health-care experience. Nursing education curricula tend to emphasize the preparation of nurses to excel in scientific knowledge, technological expertise, and practical skills. Instruction in communication is often inadequate. While these educational programs may inform learners of what they should do to communicate effectively, they do not tell or show learners how to do it. Failure to develop theoretical instruction in fundamental interactive communication can impair nurses ‘ability to engage patients in meaningful relationships, and can impact the delivery of patient-centered quality care. The TIS Methodology (Theme, Invitation, Simplicity) is an innovative, systematic approach to purposeful, relational communication. TIS offers an effective way to listen attentively and engage effectively in interpersonal relationships. The primary focus of TIS is the learned ability to listen to what another is saying or meaning, and to respond appropriately. A case study approach is used to illustrate the effective application of the TIS Methodology and to enhance an understanding of TIS principles and standards.
Safety Unseen: Leveraging Design to Improve Inpatient Mental Health-Care Practices
Authors: Holmes Scott , Baumhover Melanie , Lockwood James
Published: September 2020

When a patient attacks a nurse, there is more than physical trauma that occurs. The consequences of the violence can manifest in anger, fear, anxiety, shame, blame, and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms that can have negative effects on patient care and job satisfaction. In the past, design strategies in inpatient psychiatric centers upheld safety by erecting barriers between patients and staff, or over-using restraints and seclusion, strategies that communicated fear and distrust. Now, understanding of how people respond in a state of crisis is changing how care can be delivered in inpatient settings. Once seen as counterintuitive, eliminating physical barriers and opening connections between staff and patients are elevating safety by reducing the psychological walls that keep patients from feeling trusted and respected. By recognizing the human need to have choice and a sense of control in a world that feels out of proportion, health-care organizations can leverage design strategies that address aspects such as spatial density and zones of personal comfort, improving safety by elevating choice and dignity in a therapeutic healing environment.
The State as an Engine of Inclusive Sustainable Economic Growth and Development
Authors: Acquah-Sam Emmanuel
Published: September 2020

This paper is a qualitative analysis of the critical role of government in promoting inclusive sustainable economic growth and development. This critical role of government transcends beyond an economyâ€™s experience of normal economic life or economic crisis, the type of economic system that is being practiced by a nation, and the level of development of a nation. The reason is that government serves as a stimulator, driver, sparker, lubricator, and the co-ordinator of the other economic units to create a conducive environment needed for private sector growth and the overall development of an economy. Though, the state also has its deficiencies in resource allocation and the management of the economy, a poorly functioning government portends economic doom. The exclusive roles of governments in promoting inclusive sustainable economic growth and development are: smoothening markets activities, promoting better macroeconomic performances, driving, sparking, stimulating, and lubricating the private sector for growth, mitigating social vices, undertaking financial sector cleanup, stabilisation, restructuring, providing stimulus packages to address economic meltdowns or recessions, and combating pandemics. This study concludes that the state serves as an engine of inclusive sustainable economic growth and development. This study recommends that governments must be held accountable by their citizenry and the international community for their actions and inactions and should be prevented from shirking their responsibilities to their societies. They need to be more efficient and proactive in ensuring public sector efficiency so as to spearhead economic growth and development. Again, the roles of the state and the private sector in promoting inclusive sustainable economic growth and development must not be mutually exclusive. Every economy must strive for a healthy balance between private sector and state planning that will lead to inclusive sustainable economic growth and development. Governments must promote effective governance and combat corruption both in the private and public sectors of every economy.

Published: September 2020

Online newspapers have become one of the leading hubs for information disemination especially with the advent of web 2.0. Internet penetration in Nigeria has also contributed immensily in making diferent news contents avaliable on the web. Many people now depend on their smart phones, laptops and tablets to access news from the internet. Articles in online newspapers on COVID-19 are shared social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram amongst others, making it possible for stories to easily go viral. The manner in which online newspapers frame issues of public importance determines the level of knowledge of online news consumers and their perception of the issues. This study investigates how three online newspapers framed the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria. Anchored on Frame Analysis Theory, the study also employs Relational Content Analysis as its design. Finding shows that fear and death, government and/political influence, and palliative frames emerged as the dominant frames across the three online newspapers â€“ Sahara Reporters, Premium Times and Daily Post studied for three months.The implication of this finding is that online newspapers reported COVID-19 outbreak in ways that made the audience jittery before the eventual outbreak of the pandemic. The study recommends that online newspapers should harp more on palliative as against fear and death frames in reporting any health emergancy in the future.
Materialist Premises in Hobbes and Kropotkin for Antipodean Conclusions: The State of War and the Mutual Aid
Authors: Scotognella Francesco
Published: September 2020

A methodological similarity between Thomas Hobbes and PÃ«tr Kropotkin is the intention to elucidate a theoretical foundation to a broad audience, in the sense that they are willing to popularize a clear description of the reality and a subsequent political view. To do so, they use a scientific method, deductive (starting from empirical observations) in the case of Hobbes, inductive-deductive in the case of Kropotkin. Kropotkin also underlines the educational value of the scientific method. Although they both start their argumentations from a materialist ontology, Hobbes and Kropotkin conjecture two completely different states of nature. Hobbes describes the state of nature through the two famous metaphors homo homini lupus and bellum omnium contra omnes, while Kropotkin introduced the theory of mutual aid. Hobbes has been influenced by the scientific revolution initiated by Francis Bacon, one of his mentors, and Galileo Galilei. Kropotkin has been influenced by the ground-breaking writings of Charles Darwin together with a very fruitful Russian scientific environment. The disenchanted view of the human nature in Hobbes, a state of war due to the fact that everyone has rights on everything, helps him to legitimate sovereignty, while the positive view of human nature in Kropotkin, a spontaneous mutual aid among people in a community, helps him to legitimate anarchy. Therefore, the fascinating scientific methods of the two materialists Hobbes and Kropotkin to structure a solid political theory cannot neglect different views on human nature due to their historical contexts.

Authors: Nisa Lifa Datun , Darmawan Darmawan , Adli Muhammad
Published: September 2020

This research was conducted in Kute Lintang Village, Blangkejeren Sub-district of Gayo Lues Regency, which discussed the poh roh assets, according to the Gayo Lues customary law, a discussion about the distribution of poh roh assets in the Gayo Lues community. This research applied descriptive method with a normative juridical approach to obtain secondary data, sociological juridical approach, and field research.  The distribution system of poh roh assets due to divorce can be done in 2 (two) ways, namely by consensus and carried out through jeuma opat. The conciliation process carried out by divorced husband and wife ussually carried out by way of deliberations involving family relatives from both huband and wife. Whereas dispute resolution through jeuma opat emphasizes family aspects through deliberations to reach consensus, so none from the husband or wife feels defeated or won and jeuma opat knows about the origin of the assets obtained during their marriages, which are inherited assets, where inheritance is obtained from heirs of husband and wife and where are the poh roh assets, then simplify jeuma opat in terms of dividing the poh roh assets if there is a divorce because it already knows the origin of the divorced husband and wife's assets. Legal Consequences if the poh roh assets not shared After the divorce in Gayo Lues is the status of the poh roh assets will be not clear, it means that the husband and wife can no longer separate which is inherited from poh roh assets, even between the inheritance and the poh roh assets has been mixed, so it is very it is difficult to determine the status of property in a marriage.
Analysis of Legal Change for Women Traveling Without Mahram: A Case Study of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Royal Decree No. M/134 of 2019
Authors: Mansyuroh Firqah Annajiyah
Published: September 2020

This paper departs from the problem of why the government of Saudi Arabia changed its policy on women's rights in the public sphere by using case study No. Royal Decree No. M / 134 of 2019 concerning the lifting of the ban on women traveling without a mahram. This is interesting because Saudi Arabia is a country that is notorious for not allowing women to travel without male relatives. This is due to the social conditions of Saudi Arabia's society which are very closely related to the culture of the Patriarchy which constructs the thought of the division of roles between women and men. Seeing this fact, a comprehensive explanation is needed to explain the reasons behind the Saudi government's decision in the current situation. This research explores the factors that hold up the decision made using the feminism approach and analyzes the relationship between social change theory and legal reform. The main factor of women's freedom to travel without mahram is undeniably driven by the influence of economic and social changes. This is because the Saudis want their 2030 Vision to be achieved.
Anterior segment evaluation in unilateral oculodermal melanocytosis
Authors: PALAMAR Melis
Published: September 2020

Aim: To compare the anterior segment parameters of effected and normal eyes of unilateral

oculodermal melanocytosis (ODM) patients.

Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart and Scheimpflug camera database review for unilateral

ODM patients were conducted. Anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV),

anterior chamber angle (ACA) width, central corneal thickness (CCT), keratometry, pupilla diameter

parameters of the eye with ODM (Group 1) was compared to the normal (Group 2) eye.

Results: Sixteen patients with a mean age of 32.50±12.20 (range 12 and 48) were enrolled. No

difference between groups were detected in terms of ACD, ACV, CCT, keratometry, pupilla diameter

(p=0.655, p=0.812, p=0.131, p=0.434, p=0.325, p=0.509, respectively). Although ACA was lower in

Group 1 the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.057).

Conclusion: Although not statistically significant, there seems to be a tendency for shallow ACA

readings in unilateral ODM eyes when compared to normal contralateral eyes. However, more studies

with larger number of patients that evaluate this issue are needed.

Cobras, xamãs e caçadores entre os Katukina (pano)
Authors: De Lima Edilene Coffaci
Published: September 2020

Neste artigo ensaio uma reflexão sobre a oposição entre caçadores e xamãs entre os Katukina, falantes de uma língua pano, moradores de duas terras indígenas localizadas no Acre. É amplamente sabido e discutido na literatura etnológica amazônica que caçadores e xamãs se opõem. Sem divergir dessa interpretação, sustentarei que, ao menos entre os Katukina, seus conhecimentos específicos provêm igualmente de uma mesma fonte:das grandes cobras, moradoras das profundezas das águas. Para sustentar meu argumento, ainda que sem pretensão de ser exaustiva, servir-me-ei dal iteratura pano, abundantemente desenvolvida nas duas últimas décadas,na tentativa de estabelecer comparações que indiquem as possíveis similitudes e, concomitantemente, as elaborações diferenciais desse tema que é comum entre os falantes de língua pano no sudoeste amazônico.
Cuerpos en transformación: sobre la noción de persona y el control alimentar entre los Yaminawa
Authors: Gil Laura Pérez
Published: September 2020

Teniendo como foco el conjunto de prohibiciones alimentares existentes entre los Yaminawa, el presente artículo propone una reflexión sobre el papel de las mismas en el proceso de la construcción social de la persona. Parto de una descripción etnográfica de los diferentes contextos en los se da un control alimentar para, a partir de su análisis, extraer algunos de los principios que constituyen aquello que he llamado “éticaalimentar” yaminawa. Si los cuerpos yaminawa, de forma análoga a loque ocurre en otras sociedades amerindias, son objeto de alteraciones que se refieren a la constitución de personas con cualidades socialmente valorizadas, los principios que rigen las prohibiciones alimentares deben ser entendidos, en última instancia, en el marco de la gestión y el control de esas transformaciones, fruto de la interacción con agencias externas.

Juruna era um índio xavante que foi eleito o primeiro deputado do Brasil. Ao ser eleito toda a imprensa corriam atrás dele sempre fazendo uma matéria, fazendo muitas perguntas e nisso o povo brasileiro começou a comentar sobre ele e achavam engraçado um índio ser deputado, e a cada vez que falava na imprensa, mais conhecido ficava. E para o povo, era engraçado ver um índio cabeludo, falava um português arrastado, e que no começo não queria usar gravata, pois tinha um costume diferente, tinha vivido a vida toda no cerrado de sua aldeia. Só que como agora se tornou um deputado então foi obrigado a usar o terno do chamado homem branco.

A escola indígena e as aspirações de futuro das comunidades
Authors: Ghanem Elie , Abbonizio Aline
Published: September 2020

Este artigo aborda de modo geral a expressão projetos de futuro, que se vincula à compreensão tanto do mundo contemporâneo, quanto especificamente da educação escolar indígena. Esta tarefa é necessária para focalizar as relações entre a escola indígena e as aspirações comunitárias a respeito de seu próprio futuro. A região do alto rio Negro forneceu a base etnográfica numa pesquisa centrada na hipótese de que experiências recentes de escolarização indígena vêm buscando compatibilizar objetivos escolares com objetivos comunitários. São práticas que se enfrentam com os sentidos da mudança cultural e o caráter externo ou interno da mudança. Como conclusão, afirma-se que o desafio maior da escolarização indígena é favorecer que o próprio povo decida sobre o que muda ou permanece em sua cultura.

A ocupação dos Sabanê da área dos rios Roosevelt e Tenente Marques. (parecer antropológico e lingüístico)
Authors: Reesink Edwin
Published: September 2020

Resumo: O objetivo deste texto é fornecer subsídios antropológicos e lingüísticos que resumem o estado do conhecimento nestes dois campos a respeito do território histórico de ocupação do povo Sabanê antes que foram removidos, por uma série de injunções de ordem involuntário, da região que consideram como sendo legitimamente como “a sua terra”. Para tal utilizamos as fontes históricas disponíveis, tanto documentos escritos como a tradição oral dos Sabanê, que, frisa-se, esclarecem a história da sua expulsão das aldeias originais na região comprendida entre os rios Roosevelt e Tenente Marques (e as áreas laterais nas margens destes rios), o subsequente deslocamento para a aldeia Aroeira, e mostra algo do modo de vida atual nesta Terra Indígena fora da região tradicional dos Sabanê. Os pontos mais importantes deste percurso constituem a construção da Linha Telegráfica por Rondon, a decadência da Linha, o avanço dos Cinta Larga e o reagrupamento organizado pelo Funai na época da frente colonizadora da BR 364. Hoje os Sabanê moram em terra alheia, compartilham a aldeia com outros povos e expressam o desejo legitimo de retornar a sua terra de origem para construir uma aldeia etnicamente homogêneo: um retorno à sua terra e uma morada de e para os Sabanê.
Antropologias latino-americanas – por uma crítica decolonial
Authors: Oliveira Esmael Alves de , Oliveira Augusto Marcos Fagundes
Published: September 2020

O que diferentes autores latino-americanos nos ajudam a pensar em relação à especificidade da América Latina e que, de algum modo, permanecem invisibilizados nas discussões hegemônicas? Se a antropologia e o fazer antropológico se constituem enquanto uma política de conhecimento (ALMEIDA, 2004; RIBEIRO, 2006), seria a produção latino-americana uma alternativa de contraposição ao establishment, ou seja, de des-centramento das lógicas eurocêntricas? Seria uma posição efetivamente plural, na qual se celebra a diversidade com estratégias que subverteriam práticas e paradigmas monolíticos? Tais produções acadêmicas agenciariam a emergência de sujeitos periféricos, muitas vezes invisibilizados nos contextos locais, à produção intelectual? Tomando como base essas indagações e à luz das reflexões de pensadores latino-americanos, buscamos refletir algumas estratégias para uma práxis antropológica decolonial.
White Adipose Tissue and Cancer: Impacts of Doxorubicin and Potential Co-Therapies
Authors: Biondo Luana Amorim , Silveira Loreana Sanches , de Souza Teixeira Alexandre Abilio , Neto José Cesar Rosa
Published: September 2020

Background:

White adipose tissue is an essential reservoir of energy that stores and releases fatty acids and secretes hormones, inflammatory cytokines and adipokines in health and cancer. The adipose tissue modulates cancer development and treatment, affecting responsiveness to chemotherapy, quality of life and survival. In addition, adipose tissue is damaged by doxorubicin, which is a non-selective anticancer drug widely used in clinical practice.

Aim:

This review was focused on the relevance of the white adipose tissue and how it can be affected by doxorubicin and cancer, the mechanisms involved and possible co-therapies that improve white adipose tissue functions.

Scope of review:

Adipose tissue complexity can influence cancer development, treatment and survival. The adipose tissue secretes adipokines that have paracrine and endocrine effects and may influence tumourigenesis, survival and quality of life in patients with cancer. The chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin promotes deep impact on the adipose tissue, inhibiting adipogenesis and lipogenesis. Doxorubicin also causes downregulation on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and 5' adenosine monophosphate-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signalling in white adipose tissue, affecting lipid and glucose metabolism. Some alternative therapies, such as metformin, pioglitazone and physical exercise may contribute to mitigate side effects of doxorubicin.

Conclusion:

White adipose tissue has a complex and intricate role on cancer and is deeply affected by doxorubicin leading to a deep impact on adipose tissue function and worse quality of life. Potential co-therapies to prevent the side effects of doxorubicin should be studied to improve the quality of life of doxorubicin-treated patients.

Machine learning (ML) is penetrating in all walks of life and is one of the major driving forces behind the fourth industrial revolution, typically known as Industry 4.0. This study reviews the state-of-the-art ML applications in the biofuels’ life cycle stages, i.e., soil, feedstock, production, consumption, and emissions. A keyword search is performed to retrieve relevant articles from the databases of the Web of Science and Google Scholar. ML applications in the soil stage were mostly based on the use of satellite images of land for estimation of biofuels yield or suitability analysis of agricultural land. In the second stage of the life cycle, assessment of rheological properties of the feedstocks and their effect on the quality of biofuels were dominant studies reported in the literature. The production stage included estimation and optimization of quality, quantity, and process conditions. The fuel consumption and emissions stage included analysis of engine performance and estimation of emissions temperature and composition, such as NOx, CO, and CO2. This study identiﬁed the following trends: dominant ML method, the stage of life cycle getting more usage of ML, the type of data used for the development of the ML-based models, and the stage-wise frequently used input and output variables. The ﬁndings of this article are beneﬁcial for academia and industry-related people involved in model development in different stages of biofuel’s life cycle.

Published: September 2020

This research was conducted to analyze the content of Fe, Cu, Cd, Cr, and Pb in several species of fish taken from three lakes that is closely to disposal of industrial waste in Indonesia. The fish samples were taken from three lakes, namely, Muara Angke, Weda, and Morowali. The samples from Morowali were analyzed in April 2019, those from Weda from November to December 2019, and those from Muara Angke in June 2018. All the samples were then analyzed at the chemistry laboratory of the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Science, University of Indonesia, and the Integrated Laboratory of IPB. The results showed that all types of fish from Morowali and Weda were no longer safe to consume because they contained Fe, Cu, Cd, and Cr exceeding the threshold of metal contamination. Meanwhile, all types of fish from Muara Angke, except for ayam-ayam, are still safe for consumption. The results of this study can be a source of information regarding metal content in fish and fish feed for safe consumption. Several studies have been done to determine the metal pollutants contained by fish. Given the high consumption rate of fish and the hazards of heavy metals on humans’ health, such research must be furthered
Necroptosis in Intestinal Inflammation and Cancer: New Concepts and Therapeutic Perspectives
Authors: Negroni Anna , Colantoni Eleonora , Cucchiara Salvatore , Stronati Laura
Published: September 2020

Necroptosis is a caspases-independent form of programmed cell death exhibiting intermediate features between necrosis and apoptosis. Albeit some physiological roles during embryonic development, tissue homeostasis and innate immune response are documented, necroptosis is mainly considered a pro-inflammatory cell death. Key actors of necroptosis are the receptor-interacting-protein-kinases, RIPK1 and RIPK3, and their target, the mixed-lineage-kinase-domain-like protein, MLKL. The intestinal epithelium has one of the highest rates of cellular turnover in a process that is tightly regulated. Altered necroptosis at the intestinal epithelium leads to uncontrolled microbial translocation and deleterious inflammation. Indeed, necroptosis has been associated to chronic inflammatory diseases and cancer. Drugs that inhibit necroptosis could, therefore, be used therapeutically for the treatment of these diseases, and researches to develop such inhibitors are already underway. In this Review, we outline pathways for necroptosis and its role in chronic inflammation and cancer. We also discuss current and developing therapies that target necroptosis machinery.

To realize a competitive product-service system, a manufacturer is required to change its closed business model and develop open and sustainable alliances with external partners. As an alternative business model, an open business model (OBM) is a new concept, replacing the closed model, that is highly dependent on the company’s resources. An OBM is realized via resource sharing and collaboration with external partners. By incorporating an OBM in its operations, a company can receive several benefits, such as long-term profits, by providing new customer value and diversifying risks due to uncertainty in the market environment. A considerable number of studies related to this concept have been conducted. However, a practical method for OBM design remains unavailable. It is therefore difficult to design an OBM via actual design procedures. To this end, the purpose of this study is to support a design for OBMs. To achieve this, eight dimensions of openness in OBMs are first identified. On the basis of these dimensions, the requirements for an OBM design guideline are defined, and the design guideline is proposed. The proposed design guideline includes three steps: requirement analysis, OBM design, and validation. The proposed method was applied in an OBM design workshop, and the usefulness of the design guideline was verified through an evaluation of the eight openness dimensions. Finally, directions for improving the design guideline are discussed as future works.

Product-service systems (PSS), which create value by integrating physical products and services, have received much attention as a promising option to increase manufacturers’ revenue and reduce environmental impact. The process of designing a PSS requires collaboration among various experts who use domain-specific knowledge. Therefore, several researches have been investigated for developing design tools tailored to their expertise. However, while the specialization of design tools can be useful for experts, it hinders companies from ensuring the integrity of design information in different design elements. This results in the failure in achieving expected benefits. To address these issues, this study applies the concept of interoperability to PSS design to integrate design information from different domains. In particular, ontological descriptions is adopted to achieve semantic interoperability in different design elements. The application of the proposed ontology to a lecture on PSS design highlights that the proposed method is effective for integrating information on PSS design elements and those between value creation and capture.

In recent years, the environment surrounding companies has become more challenging. It has become more difficult for many companies in the manufacturing industry to possess all the skills they need, such as production, warehousing, and retailing, so they need to outsource certain skills. In supply chains with several companies, each has an optimal strategy. Specifically, supply chains where the solution is decided through negotiations with their partners are defined as “decentralized supply chains.” In such situations, collaborative relationships are important. One possible approach is replenishment contracts between vendors and buyers under the condition that demand for each buyer is constant. In a buyer-dominated supply chain, because the vendor cannot choose solutions that lower the satisfaction of buyers, it is difficult to change the replenishment intervals. The common replenishment epochs (CRE) strategy is one of the methods used to address this issue. The vendor integrates the buyers’ replenishment timings using CRE and provides a price discount on the products to compensate for the increase in the cost to the buyers. The price discount rate is calculated based on the worst reduction rate in the costs incurred by the buyers based on the economic order quantity (EOQ) model. The optimal CRE and discount rate are decided such that the cost incurred by vendor is minimized. The increased emphasis on the worst reduction rates can potentially lead to biases in buyer satisfaction, and the price discount rate is overestimated. Then, the cost of the vendor increases. Hence, through the negotiations with less satisfied buyers, the vendor changes the CRE so that their satisfaction is improved and the price discount is lower. As a result, the vendor can reduce its cost. This study develops a model to find an improved solution after the negotiations. If satisfaction of multiple players is regarded as multi-objective, a solution of multi-player decision-making is obtained using multi-objective optimization. Linear physical programming (LPP) has been applied as a form of multi-objective optimization, and it is possible to determine the weight coefficients using the preference ranges of the objective functions. In addition, by considering the buyers’ preference levels, the constraints of the discount rates are relaxed and the vendor’s cost can be reduced. Therefore, this study develops a model based on the CRE strategy using LPP.

Exponential technologies, if blended with advantageous conceptual setups, enable innovative developments for Internet-based production ecosystems. The focus of this study is on developing a support mechanism for homeostatic and evolutionary abilities in large-scale production environments. Starting from a reflection on the state-of-the-art, a suitable framework was developed for the conceptualization of Internet-based production ecosystems. Based on augmented context awareness and eco-systemic intelligence, homeostatic and adaptive abilities were designed, and used along with the operational controls to maintain the homeostasis of loads, workflows, and variability, and facilitate the long-term adaptation of the actors. The latter may comprise self-made adaptation of human and digital actors, as well as externally supported modification of functions operated by cyber-agents. The advantage of the proposed solutions is twofold: firstly, stakeholders can improve their performance and adaptability; and secondly, they can also benefit from non-selfish behaviors.

The value or social surplus created by a theatrical drama is determined by the content of the drama, such as the cast, and ticket prices. The desirable cast and suitable ticket price depend on the preferences of the customers; however, in the current theater industry, they are fully determined by the theater company, which has incomplete information on the customer preferences. Therefore, this study proposes an extended auction mechanism that simultaneously addresses theatrical casting and ticket distribution according to the actual customers’ preferences. To achieve this, it presents a mathematical formulation of the theatrical casting problem, and embeds it into the scheduling auction framework. The proposed mechanism maximizes the social surplus brought about by the drama based on the bids gathered from potential customers in an incentive-compatible manner. This study also presents a comparative method that determines the theatrical casting and ticket distribution separately, and solves them in sequence within a shorter calculation time. The numerical experiments show that the proposed method achieves a social surplus that is averagely 29% higher than that of the comparative method. However, the calculation time of the proposed method increases exponentially with the problem scale. In future work, a more computationally efficient mechanism will be required for wider social implementation.

This study was conducted to devise a method for supporting consulting service companies in their response to client demands irrespective of the expertise of consultants. With emphasis on revitalization of small and medium-sized enterprises, the importance of support systems for consulting services to serve them is increasing. Those systems must support solutions to difficulties that must be addressed by enterprises. Consulting companies can respond to widely various management consultations. Nevertheless, because the consultation contents are highly specialized, service proposals and problem detection depend on the experience and intuition of the consultant. Often, stable service cannot be provided. A support system must provide stable services independent of the ability of consultants. In this study, analyzing customer information describing the contents of consultation with client companies is the first step in constructing a support system that can predict future problems. Text data such as a consultant’s visit history, consultation contents by e-mail, and contents of call centers are used for analyses because the contents can explain current problems. They might also indicate future problems. This report describes a method to analyze text data using text mining. The target problem is fraud, which includes uncertainty: cases in which it is not clear whether a fraud problem has occurred with the company. To address uncertainty, a method of using logistic regression models is proposed to represent inferred values as probabilities, rather than as binary discriminated data, because the possibility exists that some misidentified companies might have some difficulty. As described herein, computer experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method and to compare consultants’ forecasted and achieved results. Results of a verification experiment are presented in the following. First, the proposed method is applicable to problems including uncertainties. Secondly, the possibility exists of discovering companies with a fraud problem of which they are unaware.

When a three-dimensional shape is machined by NC machine tool, motion errors occur around the motion direction changing points of the translational axis. This has a significant influence on a quality of machined surfaces. Therefore, much research on the influence of motion errors around the motion direction changing points of the feed drive system on a machined surface has been conducted to improve the quality of machined surfaces by NC machine tool. Among the motion errors that occur around the motion direction changing points of the translational axis, quadrant glitches with a stick-slip motion have a particularly large influence on the machined surface, and research on compensation methods continues to be reported. However, the transcriptional characteristics of quadrant glitches of the translational axis for machine tools have not been investigated adequately. In this study, the transcriptional characteristics of quadrant glitches of the translational axis on a machined surface were investigated. In addition, the influences of various factors on the transcriptional characteristics of quadrant glitches on a machined surface were investigated using a proposed equation and actual machining tests.
