Sustainable Supply Chain Management—A Conceptual Framework and Future Research Perspectives
Authors: Brandenburg Marcus , Gruchmann Tim , Oelze Nelly
Published: December 2019

Sustainable operations and sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) have become a highly relevant topic for scientific research and management, as well as policy-making practice. Despite surging growth in extant research, the need for theoretical and conceptual substantiation persists, and large opportunities for further research remain unexploited. This paper responds to the need for a conceptual foundation and, therefore, aims at providing a structured agenda for future research areas in SSCM. Based on an abductive reasoning approach, SSCM constructs and concepts are gathered from existing literature and recombined into a comprehensive conceptual SSCM framework. Areas and directions for future SSCM research, as suggested in earlier studies, are summarized, positioned in the framework, and outlined to stimulate further SSCM research activities. To overcome the lack of holistic research in the field, sophisticated techniques and integrated systems to support decision-making are required to tackle related issues’ complexity. Therefore, this paper’s contribution lies in the synthesis of state-of-the-art literature to provide a more comprehensive view of SSCM. Researchers may find promising recommendations and a suitable foundation for future studies, while practitioners may find helpful orientation and guidance for decision- and policy-making.

Authors: Hou Pengfei , Luo Yi , Yang Kun , Shang Chunxue , Zhou Xiaolu
Published: December 2019

During the past 20 years, the ecological environment of Dianchi Lake has been adversely affected by climate change and human activities, which directly affected the ecosystem and biodiversity of the Dianchi Lake watershed. Analyzing the spatiotemporal variation of chlorophyll a (Chla) concentration of Dianchi Lake and exploring the internal and external factors effect on Chla concentration is the basis for controlling and improving the water ecological environment of Dianchi Lake, and it is also the key to prevent and control the water pollution of Dianchi Lake. In this study, the water quality of Dianchi Lake was examined using 12 water quality indicators from 10 water quality monitoring sites for the duration between 2000 to 2017. The changing characteristics of Chla in the context of internal and external factors were analyzed. The spatiotemporal evolution process of Chla concentration in the past 20 years was also evaluated. The results indicated that Chla concentration was significantly and positively correlated with the chemical oxygen demand (CODCr), the Dianchi Lake watershed gross domestic product (GDP), and the impervious surface area (ISA) of the watershed, in addition to the total phosphorus (TP), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), ammonia hydrogen (NH3-N), water temperature (WT), and civil vehicle ownership. Moreover, a significant and negative correlation was noticed between Dianchi Lake watershed GDP and NH3-N, BOD5, TP, total nitrogen (TN), and comprehensive nutrition state index (TLI). The Dianchi Lake population was negatively correlated with TP, TLI, and BOD5. The concentration of Chla in Dianchi Lake was affected by both internal factors, and external factors such as anthropogenic activities, the latter of which was the main cause of the continuous deterioration of the lake water quality.

Published: December 2019

Against the background of economic globalization, high-technology enterprises need to focus on the characteristics of corporate collaboration R&D networks and Standard-Setting. In this paper, theoretical research on corporate collaboration R&D network characteristics, technology standard-setting capability, and technology innovation performance is carried out, and a theoretical model and hypotheses are constructed. We apply Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to conduct an empirical analysis based on national data surveys of 12 industries. The conclusions are as follows: (1) Corporate collaboration R&D networks and technology standard-setting capability have a positive and significant impact on technology innovation performance; (2) Technology’s standard-setting capability has been identified to play a full intermediary role in the relationship between the breadth of connections and innovation efficiency. This paper provides a practical reference for enterprises to assess the value of collaborative R&D networks and improve their technology standard-setting capability for enhanced economic efficiency.

Published: December 2019

Historic centres are highly regarded destinations for watching and even participating in diverse and unique forms of cultural expression. Cultural tourism, according to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), is an important and consolidated tourism sector and its strong growth is expected to continue over the coming years. Tourism, the much dreamt of redeemer for historic centres, also represents one of the main threats to heritage conservation: visitors can dynamize an economy, yet the rapid growth of tourism often has negative effects on both built heritage and the lives of local inhabitants. Knowledge of occupancy levels and flows of visiting tourists is key to the efficient management of tourism; the new technologies—the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, and geographic information systems (GIS)—when combined in interconnected networks represent a qualitative leap forward, compared to traditional methods of estimating locations and flows. A methodology is described in this paper for the management of tourism flows that is designed to promote sustainable tourism in historic centres through intelligent support mechanisms. As part of the Smart Heritage City (SHCITY) project, a collection system for visitors is developed. Following data collection via monitoring equipment, the analysis of a set of quantitative indicators yields information that can then be used to analyse visitor flows; enabling city managers to make management decisions when the tourism-carrying capacity is exceeded and gives way to overtourism.

Published: December 2019

Let G be a simple undirected graph containing n vertices. Assume G is connected. Let D ( G ) be the distance matrix, D L ( G ) be the distance Laplacian, D Q ( G ) be the distance signless Laplacian, and T r ( G ) be the diagonal matrix of the vertex transmissions, respectively. Furthermore, we denote by D α ( G ) the generalized distance matrix, i.e., D α ( G ) = α T r ( G ) + ( 1 − α ) D ( G ) , where α ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] . In this paper, we establish some new sharp bounds for the generalized distance spectral radius of G, making use of some graph parameters like the order n, the diameter, the minimum degree, the second minimum degree, the transmission degree, the second transmission degree and the parameter α , improving some bounds recently given in the literature. We also characterize the extremal graphs attaining these bounds. As an special cases of our results, we will be able to cover some of the bounds recently given in the literature for the case of distance matrix and distance signless Laplacian matrix. We also obtain new bounds for the k-th generalized distance eigenvalue.
Incremental and Multi-Task Learning Strategies for Coarse-To-Fine Semantic Segmentation
Authors: Mel Mazen , Michieli Umberto , Zanuttigh Pietro
Published: December 2019

The semantic understanding of a scene is a key problem in the computer vision field. In this work, we address the multi-level semantic segmentation task where a deep neural network is first trained to recognize an initial, coarse, set of a few classes. Then, in an incremental-like approach, it is adapted to segment and label new objects’ categories hierarchically derived from subdividing the classes of the initial set. We propose a set of strategies where the output of coarse classifiers is fed to the architectures performing the finer classification. Furthermore, we investigate the possibility to predict the different levels of semantic understanding together, which also helps achieve higher accuracy. Experimental results on the New York University Depth v2 (NYUDv2) dataset show promising insights on the multi-level scene understanding.
miR-26a Inhibits Feline Herpesvirus 1 Replication by Targeting SOCS5 and Promoting Type I Interferon Signaling
Authors: Zhang Jikai , Li Zhijie , Huang Jiapei , Yin Hang , Tian Jin , Qu Liandong
Published: December 2019

In response to viral infection, host cells activate various antiviral responses to inhibit virus replication. While feline herpesvirus 1 (FHV-1) manipulates the host early innate immune response in many different ways, the host could activate the antiviral response to counteract it through some unknown mechanisms. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) which serve as a class of regulatory factors in the host, participate in the regulation of the host innate immune response against virus infection. In this study, we found that the expression levels of miR-26a were significantly upregulated upon FHV-1 infection. Furthermore, FHV-1 infection induced the expression of miR-26a via a cGAS-dependent pathway, and knockdown of cellular cGAS significantly blocked the expression of miR-26a induced by poly (dA:dT) or FHV-1 infection. Next, we investigated the biological function of miR-26a during viral infection. miR-26a was able to increase the phosphorylation of STAT1 and promote type I IFN signaling, thus inhibiting viral replication. The mechanism study showed that miR-26a directly targeted host SOCS5. Knockdown of SOCS5 increased the phosphorylation of STAT1 and enhanced the type I IFN-mediated antiviral response, and overexpression of suppressor of the cytokine signalling 5 (SOCS5) decreased the phosphorylation of STAT1 and inhibited the type I IFN-mediated antiviral response. Meanwhile, with the knockdown of SOCS5, the upregulated expression of phosphorylated STAT1 and the anti-virus effect induced by miR-26a were significantly inhibited. Taken together, our data demonstrated a new strategy of host miRNAs against FHV-1 infection by enhancing IFN antiviral signaling.
(Non-)Sense of Milk Testing in Small Ruminant Lentivirus Control Programs in Goats. Comparative Analysis of Antibody Detection and Molecular Diagnosis in Blood and Milk

Published: December 2019

Small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) control programs are mainly based on diagnostic tests performed on blood samples collected from sheep and goats. Since blood sampling is costly and stressful for the animals, we evaluated whether milk could be used as an inexpensive and easily collectable matrix for SRLV detection. We therefore compared SRLV detection via two commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) in blood and corresponding milk samples from 321 goats originating from eight different SRLV-infected farms in Flanders (Belgium). The IDscreen® ELISA had a better relative sensitivity (97% vs 93%) and specificity (100% and 97%) than the Elitest® ELISA for SRLV-specific antibody detection in milk compared to serum. The higher sensitivity correlates with a 10-fold higher analytical sensitivity of the IDscreen® test. In contrast to the overall good ELISA results, qPCR on milk cell pellets lacked sensitivity (81%) and specificity (88%), compared to molecular detection in blood leucocyte pellets. Our results show that serology is more suitable than qPCR for SRLV diagnosis, and that milk may represent an interesting matrix for a preliminary evaluation of a herd’s infection status. Serum remains however the sample of choice for control programs where it is important to identify positive animals with the highest sensitivity.
Enterovirus 71 VP1 Protein Regulates Viral Replication in SH-SY5Y Cells via the mTOR Autophagy Signaling Pathway
Authors: Liu Zi-Wei , Zhuang Zhi-Chao , Chen Rui , Wang Xiao-Rui , Zhang Hai-Lu , Li Shu-Han , Wang Zhi-Yu , Wen Hong-Ling
Published: December 2019

Background: Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is the main pathogen that causes severe hand, foot, and mouth disease with fatal neurological complications. However, its neurovirulence mechanism is still unclear. Candidate virulence sites were screened out at structural protein VP1, but the function of these candidate virulence sites remains unclear. Several studies have shown that autophagy is associated with viral replication. However, the relationship between VP1 and autophagy in human neurons has not been studied. Methods: A recombinant virus—SDLY107-VP1, obtained by replacing the VP1 full-length gene of the SDLY107 strain with the VP1 full-length gene of the attenuated strain SDJN2015-01—was constructed and tested for replication and virulence. We then tested the effect of the recombinant virus on autophagy in nerve cells. The effect of autophagy on virus replication was detected by western blot and plaque test. Finally, the changes of mTOR signaling molecules during EV71 infection and the effect of mTOR on virus replication at the RNA level were detected. Results: Viral recombination triggered virulence attenuation. The replication ability of recombinant virus SDLY107-VP1 was significantly weaker than that of the parent strain SDLY107. The SDLY107 strain could inhibit autophagic flux and led to accumulation of autophagosomes, while the SDLY107-VP1 strain could not cause autophagosome accumulation. The synthesis of EV71 RNA was inhibited by inhibiting mTOR. Conclusions: Replacement of VP1 weakened the replication ability of virulent strains and reduced the level of autophagy in nerve cells. This autophagy facilitates the replication of virulent strains in nerve cells. VP1 is an important neurovirulence determinant of EV71, which affects virus replication by regulating cell autophagy. mTOR is a key molecule in this type of autophagy.
Distinctive Spatial and Laminar Organization of Single Axons from Lateral Pulvinar in the Macaque
Authors: Rockland Kathleen S.
Published: December 2019

Pulvino-cortical (PC) projections are a major source of extrinsic input to early visual areas in the macaque. From bulk injections of anterograde tracers, these are known to terminate in layer 1 of V1 and densely in the middle cortical layers of extrastriate areas. Finer, single axon analysis, as reviewed here for projections from the lateral pulvinar (PL) in two macaque monkeys (n = 25 axons), demonstrates that PL axons have multiple arbors in V2 and V4, and that these are spatially separate and offset in different layers. In contrast, feedforward cortical axons, another major source of extrinsic input to extrastriate areas, are less spatially divergent and more typically terminate in layer 4. Functional implications are briefly discussed, including comparisons with the better investigated rodent brain.

This study aims to determine the position of the functions and authority of the Regional Representative Council based on the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia and the urgency of strengthening the function of the Regional Representative Council as a regional representative in national policy making at the central level. The research method used is a normative legal research method that focuses on library research, namely the search for legal materials consisting of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials, and tertiary legal materials. to obtain secondary data from legal materials. The normative approach is carried out by reviewing the provisions or regulations in force. Basically, the existence of the Regional Representative Council through an amendment to the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia is based on the existence of 2 (two) factors, namely democratization and efforts to accommodate regions in making national policies, theoretically the existence of the Regional Representative Council is intended to apply the principle of checks and balances between state institutions, namely the process of mutual supervision and balance between State institutions. This was done to strengthen central and regional relations in order to maintain the integrity and unity of the unitary state of the Republic of Indonesia. However, based on the amendment results of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia the authority of the Regional Representative Council to carry out its function as a regional representative is still inadequate, so the desire to implement the principle of checks and balances between State institutions is still not realized.

Este artigo investiga as fronteiras imaginárias entre a vida e a morte presentes na indústria do entretenimento musical a partir de uma seleção de 3 shows baseados em projeções em 2D e 3D, em escala natural, dos cantores: Tupac Shakur (2012), Cazuza (2013), Michael Jackson (2014). Uma nova maneira de lidar com o capital simbólico dos artistas mortos nos leva a considerar as imagens como representações simbólicas. As projeções, segundo Hofer (2011), se manifestam como metalepses que põe em causa o efeito da presença sem a presença do artista de fato, seguindo a tendência do uso de telas em espetáculos. Debray (1993) diz que a relação da imagem com a morte vem dos cultos e da antepassados, na tentativa de sua sobrevivência, pela imagem. Dessa forma, entendemos que dentro do formato “holograma” de apresentação, há um indicador significativo das transformações na maneira como mortos são representados.

La revisión de la literatura relacionada con los precios de la tierra y sus determinantes incluye estudios que explican la evolución del precio a partir de la rentabilidad del recurso y la capacidad de generación de flujos de fondos y otros que lo hacen a través de sus atributos o características. El presente estudio vincula la evolución del precio de la tierra agrícola, con la rentabilidad del recurso.

El objetivo del trabajo es analizar si el cambio en el valor de la tierra del área más productiva de la zona pampeana durante la década comprendida entre los años 2005-2014, depende o tiene una relación directa con la rentabilidad generada por el recurso. Se plantean para ello, sus posibles destinos alternativos, producción o cesión en arrendamiento y a su vez se considera para la producción, soja de primera y de segunda, maíz y trigo. Para medir la rentabilidad de la tierra de acuerdo a sus usos alternativos se utilizan magnitudes contables de acuerdo al destino.

El trabajo relaciona el precio de la tierra como variable dependiente con los márgenes brutos de los cultivos de soja de primera, soja de segunda, maíz y trigo y el valor del arrendamiento, como variables independientes. Se trabaja con un análisis de regresión múltiple que evidencia que es la decisión de producción la que incide sobre el precio de la tierra.

Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que si bien la producción de soja de primera, soja de segunda, maíz y trigo contribuye a explicar el precio de la tierra, la soja de primera, es la variable de mayor incidencia sobre el mismo.

Los ingresos del Estado obtenidos vía impuestos son considerados uno de los principales recursos para la lucha contra la pobreza. Este estudio busca establecer la relación entre la definición de

Gobierno Corporativo (GC) y los impuestos. Los impuestos pueden ser considerados como la retribución justa al capital social aportado por el Estado, o un simple gasto que debe ser reducido al máximo.

Así, en una primera parte, se analiza la acepción utilizada en Chile respecto de los impuestos, la evidencia sugiere que la Sociedad chilena considera que el GC solo crea valor para el accionista y en consecuencia de ello, el impuesto es una transferencia de valor desde el accionista hacia el Estado.

Además, se analizan el concepto de fraude.

La segunda parte comprende dos estudios de casos sobre posibles fraudes tributarios, el Grupo

Penta, financiado con capitales privados y Codelco-Minmetals, una empresa estatal. En los estudios de caso se presentan los antecedentes sobre la investigación de los hechos, para luego exponer los GC de dichas empresas con el fin de establecer una relación. En ambos casos se ha detectado una disfunción en los GC que propicia la ocurrencia de situaciones de fraude fiscal, lo cual se ve potenciado por la presión para la obtención de mayores beneficios en el caso de Penta, o por la búsqueda de financiamiento para nuevos proyectos en el caso de Codelco. El uso de los precios de transferencia y la deslocalización de resultados hacia paraísos fiscales cuestiona el rol de la contabilidad, que no es neutro, en la distribución de ingresos y su impacto en la desigualdad social y la disminución de la pobreza.

The article seeks to reveal the inclusive interactions in a pluralist community based on the interactional case study between Indonesian Ahmadiyah Congregation (JAI) and Muhammadiyah Mubaligh as well as Nahdhatul Ulama (NU) Board in Bandung. The facts indicate that most of Islamic organizations in Indonesia agree with the fatwa of MUI (Indonesian Law-Making Agency) that Ahmadiyyah is a heretical sect. Nevertheless, the actualized interaction between JAI and Muhammadiyah Mubaligh as well as NU Board in Bandung reflects the inclusive interaction that was built naturally, so that its dimensions were able to be formulated. The inclusive interaction had dimensions built on understanding among the actors who interact in interpreting the assurance of constitutional protection, the construction of a conducive state policy, and the basic principles and values of a community.The assurance of constitutional protection meets the principles of the internal freedom protection, external freedom, and corporate freedom and legal status. Such a conducive state policy construction was developed to meet the character and strength with high cohesion, facilitative, and non-discriminative. The massive social principles and values was developed to meet the values of enhancing trust, compassion, justice, and tolerance. In this case, the basic principles and values of a community is the determinant factor of inclusive interaction strength.

Oily sludge is one of the most significant solid waste materials generated by petroleum refinery plant. Due to high concentration of petroleum hydrocarbon (PHCs) that is considered as harmful and hazardous waste to human beings and environmental, the initiative was developed to minimize this issue by performing investigation on cationic plant-based esterquat surfactant for oil recovery and heavy metal removal from oily sludge via Surfactant-enhanced Oil Recovery (SEOR). Based on the research finding, oily sludge has significant amount of volatile matters (32.22 wt%) which consists of hazardous PAHs that needs to be removed from oily sludge. Cationic esterquat surfactant has been introduced in removal of heavy metal and oil from oily sludge. Result shows the CMCs of cationic esterquat surfactant obtained was about 125mg/L via conductivity method and spectrophotometric method. The percentage of oil recovery obtained was 74.62% at esterquat concentration of 125 mg/L with significant removal on chromium (Cr) and lead (Pb). This finding shows the potential of cationic esterquat surfactant in enhancing the oil and metal removal from oily sludge

Identification and verification are the fundamental process in biometrics recognition system. Research indicates that palmprint, as one of the biometric recognitions system is commonly used for human identification. It is because there are many features and information contained inside the palmprint that can be used in the identification process. However, only a small region of the palmprint can be extracted using the existing palmprint region of interest (ROI) extraction algorithms. This has become a problem for identification systems due to negligible and loss of important features which are located outside the ROI. Hence, it is a necessity to improve the palmprint ROI extraction algorithm whereby bigger palmprint ROI can be extracted using this algorithm. Therefore, a larger fixed size extraction algorithm for palmprint ROI is proposed where the extraction region is larger so that more important identification features can be captured inside these ROIs. The performance between proposed and existing extraction algorithms are tested based on two characteristics which are the palmprint ROI extraction area and the comparison of feature creases extracted in a palmprint ROI. The results show that 300x300 fixed size ROI is able to capture 13 out of 14 creases attributes for palmprint identification. This implies that the proposed extraction algorithm shows a promising method of extraction as compared to the existing algorithms.

This study aims to produce a Co-Ni-Fe alloy coating on a mild steel hollow cylinder shape by electrodeposition process and analyze the effect of different pH on the corrosion performance of the alloy coating. During the electrodeposition process, the temperature and time are set to 50°C and 30 minutes, respectively. Different pH value consisting of pH 2.1 (strong acid), 5.2 (weak acid), 6.9 (neutral), 8.4 (weak alkali) and 12.3 (strong alkali) are used. From the results obtained it was found that the deposited Co-Ni-Fe alloy has excellent corrosion performance. Corrosion rate obtained for strong acid, weak acid, neutral, weak alkali and strong alkali are 5.88 mmpy, 2.95 mmpy, 1.17 mmpy, 2.16 mmpy and 5.72 mmpy, respectively. Hence this studied showed that Co-Ni-Fe coating alloy could be used as an alternative to prevent against corrosion due to its high corrosion resistance as well as high microhardness.
