Adaptación de modelos para estimar la viscosidad de mezclas multicomponentes de algunos crudos pesados colombianos
Authors: Orozco Chinome Lina María , Barrera Zapata Rolando
Published: March 2019

Se presentan dos nuevas correlaciones para el cálculo de la viscosidad de mezclas de crudos pesados colombianos con diluyentes. Una de las correlaciones corresponde al modelo de Parkash modificado, que predice con errores inferiores al 0,5% la viscosidad medida en campo para mezclas de crudos entre 15 y 18 API y una fracción de diluyentes (% p/p en la mezcla entre 1,8 y 8,8) de densidad API entre 40 y 64. La segunda correlación corresponde a una relación lineal obtenida a partir de regresión de variables como API, índice y volumen de la mezcla, y que representa los datos de campo con un coeficiente de correlación (R2) de 0,95. Ambas correlaciones se validaron con datos de campo diferentes a los utilizados en la estimación de los modelos y pueden ser fácilmente implementadas para cálculos y estimaciones en campo presentando predicciones iguales o superiores a otras correlaciones existentes para el cálculo de viscosidad de mezclas. La metodología utilizada para establecer los nuevos modelos puede ser fácilmente implementada para deducir o adaptar correlaciones que permitan estimar diferentes propiedades de interés en mezclas de crudos colombianos con diluyentes a partir de datos disponibles en campo.

Published: March 2019

Con el propósito de contribuir con la labranza de conservación de suelos en ladera se emplearon tecnologías fundamentadas en la minimización del movimiento de suelo y en el establecimiento de coberturas y fertilización orgánica con abonos verdes. Se estableció el sistema de rotación abono verde- papa- abono verde, utilizando semilla de papa “parda pastusa” y 9 tipos de abonos verdes evaluándose las propiedades físicas, químicas y microbiológicas del suelo. El sistema propuesto mejoró la densidad aparente, porosidad, estabilidad estructural e infiltración del suelo; donde se destacó en densidad aparente el lote HB14 que pasó de 1.14 a 1.06 Mg/m3 y el lote PC19 de 0,84 Mg/m3 a 0.8 Mg/m3. Respecto a la porosidad el lote HB14 tuvo un valor inicial de 49.33% y final de 52.72% y en el lote PC19 un valor inicial de 57.22% y final de 59.27%. El diámetro ponderado medio destacado fue del lote HB8 pasando de 0.929 mm a 2.014 mm y el lote PC1 con un valor inicial de 1.48 mm y final de 2.25 mm. La infiltración más notoria fue para el lote HB2 con valor inicial de 22.57 cm/h y final de 138.07 cm/h y PC1 con valor inicial de 18.62 cm/h y final de 63.21 cm/h.
ФІЛОСОФСЬКО-ПЕДАГОГІЧНЕ ОСМИСЛЕННЯ В. ЗЕНЬКОВСЬКИМ ЯКОСТІ ОСВІТИ: ПАРАЛЕЛІ ІЗ СУЧАСНІСТЮ
Authors: Zakharina Maryna Ivanivna , Mekhun Alla Dmytrivna
Published: March 2019

Актуальність теми дослідження. З точки зору соціальної філософії, яка широко використовує антропометричний підхід, ключове призначення освіти, а відтак – і джерела оцінювання її якості, полягає у позитивних змінах, що відбуваються на рівні індивіда (людини). Постановка проблеми. В той же час людина як об’єкт впливу результатів освіти (освітнього процесу) не завжди здатна (вірніше – частіше нездатна) неупереджено оцінити якість отриманої освіти. Аналіз останніх досліджень і публікацій. Проблему якості освіти досліджували такі вчені як В. Андрущенко, В. Бех, В. Кремень, Б. Майбєр, В. Наливайко, С. Терпищий, О. Чабала тощо. Виділення недосліджених частин загальної проблем. Стаття присвячена аналізу педагогічних та філософських поглядів В. В. Зеньковського, який був представником мислителів релігійного відродження, зусиллями яких була створена філософія початку і першої половини XX століття. Постановка завдання. Реконструкція поглядів В. В. Зеньковського має істотне значення для розуміння сутності і особливостей якості освіти та особливого значення для сучасності. Викладення основного матеріалу. В. В. Зеньковський сформулював ключову ознаку якісної освіти – по-перше, забезпечувати гармонійний розвиток особистості (зокрема, через вивчення «загальних» предметів), а по-друге, забезпечувати суспільне благо у вигляді фахівців належної якості (зокрема, через отримання індивідами знань та навичок відповідно до обраної спеціальності). В цій тезі простежується призначення освітнього процесу як своєрідної «соціальної від-повіді» на індивідуальні та суспільні запити. Згідно з В. Зеньковським, така «соціальна відповідь» має простежуватися на всіх рівнях освіти – і у середній освіті, і у вищій освіти. Висновки відповідно до статті. Якість освіти В. В. Зеньковський розглядав широко, ставлячи на порядок денний і питання задоволення освітніх потреб особистості, і її підготовку до соціальної взаємодії, і необхідність задоволення запитів держави і суспільства.

Актуальність теми дослідження. Формування професійної ідентичності студентства зумовлене як вимогами сучасного суспільства щодо розвитку самосвідомості особистості, так і запитом теорії і практики вищої освіти в Україні. Постановка проблеми. Фахівець соціономічної професії є «інструментом» впливу на клієнта, тому надання ним якісної професійної допомоги потребує сформованої професійної ідентичності. Аналіз останніх досліджень і публікацій. Професійна ідентичність, як динамічне утворення, розвивається в процесі професійного становлення особистості (A. M. Лукіянчук), сприяє її самореалізації у фаховій діяльності, усвідомленню приналежності до професії та професійного співтовариства (А. С. Борисюк, Н. І. Кривоконь, К. О. Кальницька). Виділення недосліджених частин загальної проблеми. Залишається недостатньо опрацьованою проблема набуття студентами ціннісно-смислових мотиваційних утворень, пов’язаних із професією. Постановка завдання полягає у виявленні специфіки ціннісно-смислового компоненту в структурі ідентифікації з майбутньою професією студентів-випускників бакалаврату, які здобувають вищу освіту за напрямами підготовки «Правознавство» і «Соціальна робота». Викладення основного матеріалу. Результати дослідження ціннісно-смислового компоненту професійної ідентичності студентів, які спеціалізуються на наданні правової і соціально-психологічної допомоги людям, свідчать, що лише у половини майбутніх юристів і соціальних працівників професійна ідентичність формується успішно і пов'язана з розширенням уявлень про ціннісні складові майбутньої професійної діяльності. Висновки. Ціннісно-смислова складова професійної ідентичності майбутніх юристів пов’язана з престижем професії і оптимізмом з приводу професійної самореалізації, натомість майбутні соціальні працівники орієнтовані на гуманістичні цінності і духовну задоволеність від процесу набуття професії.
“For Eternal Storage...”: Regimental Relics of the Era of Paul I
Authors: Shapiro Bella L.
Published: March 2019

Military material culture (tangible expression of military history) does not belong to topics unfairly forgotten by researchers. However, in mo­dern practice, the lost cultural heritage is not researched as actively as the preserved one. This study aims to fill in some lacunae in the history of military material culture related to the practice of re-mel­ting precious metal objects. The issue is consi­dered on the example of Life-Cuirassier Her Majesty’s Regiment. The article highlights the key moments of the regiment’s history related to royal awards. It was, primarily, the short epoch of the reign of Paul I when silver timpani, trumpets and cuirasses received the status of regimental relics (1799). During the reign of his successor Alexander I, with a reduction in the cost of maintaining the army, the silver part of this regimental relics was re-melted. The money received made up the fund of the offi­cer’s insurance capital. Some more of the regimental relics, precious in every sense, were lost in the years of the Great Patriotic War. As a result, the military material culture of the era of Paul I, in particular the protective armament, is presented very poorly in modern museum collections. This research helps to describe its character and history of exis­tence. The main sources of stu­dying the lost relics is the history of the regiment and its regimental archive published by Colonel M.I. Markov. Graphic documents are used as additional sources. The article outlines the list of modern museum collections that store preserved items, partly similar (partially interchangeable) to the lost ones. Summing up the results of the work, the study of the lost material cultural heritage is a promising scantily-explored direction of military history.
Civilizational and Mental Discourses of the Russian Theatre as an Identity Code
Authors: Zlotnikova Tatiana S.
Published: March 2019

The Russian theatre of the last centuries is a distinctly formed identity code, possessing certain content (social and moral) and formal (artistic and aesthe­tic, including those genre and verbal) features. The purpose of this article is to justify the presence of the Russian theater as an identity code, of which we believe there are two discourses — civilizational and mental.

Drama is defined as a borderline civilizational code of the Russian theatre. This is both a kind of literature that has developed dynamically, paradoxically, creating an outstanding repertoire for the theater, and the definition of a life situation that characteri­zes theatricality as a specific feature of Russian identity. The civilizational discourse of the Russian theatre manifests itself through the paradoxes of conflict in psychological drama. The unique (mentally deterministic) cultural dimension of the Russian drama forms a logical chain: time, space, and a person lost in time and space. The drama comes into the person’s life not only as a kind of literature, but also as a situation of their existence.

Russian directing is defined as a mental/specific and, at the same time, civilizational/universal code. The civilizational discourse in the Russian, as well as the world theatre represents the paradox associated with the institutionalization of director’s profession as an embodiment of the demiurgic beginning and the sphere of self-realization of individual peculiarities of a creative personality (which can be seen in the experience of V. Meyerhold and E. Vakhtangov, G. Tovstonogov and Yu. Lyubimov, and many of the existing directors of today).

An actor in Russia is more than an actor; paraphrasing the well-known formula, we pay attention to the characteristic of mental identity code inhe­rent in acting. The triad of playwright—director—actor undoubtedly forms the basis of the Russian artistic tradition and affirms the importance of professional intentions and the cultural and philosophical mea­ning of creative activity of each of the three authors of a theatrical work. The actor in this chain is the final link.

The civilizational discourse, based on the universals of cultural practices, is associated with transformation of styles, methods, eternal matters, reflecting primarily in drama. The mental discourse, fully specific, is associated with local themes (acting) and paradoxical receptions of world practices and influence on them (directing).
The Influence of In-Service Preschool Teachers’ Education on their Perceived Competences for Counselling Parents
Authors: Mihić Sanja Skočić , Trošelj Danijela Blanuša , Katić Vesna
Published: March 2019

With a half-century of tradition, early and preschool education in the Republic of Croatia is a highly organised system in which preschool teachers meet high professional standards. Among their professional requirements,they have been legally bound to counsel parents since 2008. However, no other documents or papers in Croatia describe or specify what counselling entails. The present research explored 136 preschool teachers and their self-assessment of competence in counselling parents. The results indicate that: (a) preschool teachers rate themselves moderately competent in counselling parents; (b) joining the in-service training is related to a higher level of their self-assessment in counselling parents. Although it is evident that they had acquired the competence for counselling parents during their personal and professional development, the in-service trainingplays the key role in providing it.
Innate or learned preference for upward-facing flowers?: implications for the costs of pendent flowers from experiments on captive bumble bees
Authors: Makino Takashi T , Thomson James D
Published: March 2019

Pollinator preferences for phenotypic characters, including floral orientation, can affect plant reproductive success. For example, hawkmoths and syrphid flies prefer upward- over downward-facing flowers in field experiments. Although such preferences suggest a cost of pendent flowers in terms of pollinator attraction, we cannot rule out the possibility that the preferences have been affected by prior experience: pollinators might choose the same type of flowers to which they have already become accustomed. To test for innate preference, we observed bumble bees foraging on an array of upward- and downward-facing artificial flowers. Without any prior experience with vertical flowers, 91.7% bees chose an upward-facing flower at the very first visit. In addition to this innate preference, we also found that the preference was strengthened by experience, which suggests that the bees learned upward-facing flowers were easier to handle. Although bumble bees may concentrate on pendent flowers in the field, such learned preferences are evidently imposed on a template of upward-facing preference. Because bee-pollinated pendent flowers face particular difficulties in attracting visits, therefore, we expect them to compensate through other means, such as greater floral rewards.
An approach to the theory of gravity with an arbitrary reference level of energy density
Authors: Cherkas S. L. , Kalashnikov V. L.
Published: March 2019

Five-vectors theory of gravity is proposed, which admits an arbitrary choice of the energy density reference level. This theory is formulated as the constraint theory, where the Lagrange multipliers turn out to be restricted to some class of vector fields unlike the General Relativity (GR), where they are arbitrary. A possible cosmological implication of the proposed model is that the residual vacuum fluctuations dominate during the whole evolution of the universe. That resembles the universe having a nearly linear dependence of a scale factor on cosmic time.
Do Fiscal and Monetary Policies Cooperate or Conflict with Each Other in Nigerian Economy?
Authors: Eromosele Harrison Ogbeide , Umoru David
Published: March 2019

The determination for this study was to ascertain if fiscal and monetary policies are cooperating or rather conflicting with each other in Nigerian economy. Government disbursement and growth of money stock were used to denote fiscal and monetary policy variables. Two reduced form equations of monetary and fiscal policies were specified from underlying structural model. This yielded fourteen RF parameters in contrast to eleven structural parameters and so we had system of over-identification. These prompted use of IV estimators such as GMM and 3SLS. Estimates show similar findings for both estimators as we found evidence that fiscal policy does not respond favourably to monetary policy as monetary policy was found to have an insignificant effect on the fiscal policy. More so, fiscal policy does not respond to lag effect of monetary policy. Relatively, monetary policy responds favourably to fiscal policy. The lag effect of money supply was also found to have a significant impact on money supply. Empirical finding so upholds that Nigerian economy is fiscally overriding notwithstanding money being an integral part of all macroeconomic variables. Significance of lag effects of both fiscal and monetary policy is reflection that implementation process of both policies is excessively time overshadowing. Consequently, there is need for building well-organized units of fiscal and monetary authorities that can accelerate implementation process of these policies.

The study aims to examine factors influence financial performance through sustainability reporting. The sample is companies that received an Indonesia Sustainability Reporting Awards (ISRA) in 2016. This study uses secondary data from the annual report 2012-2016. The first result shows that board size and sustainability are not significant. The second and third result shows the size and leverage have a positive impact on sustainability reporting. The last result shows that sustainability reporting has a positive and significant effect on financial performance. The contributions in this study, first, it shows the mediating effect of sustainability reporting on the relationship between these factors and financial performance. Second, this study also investigates companies that received ISRA in 2016. The limitation of this study is that it focuses on companies that received the award fromISRA in 2016. Another limitation, the framework is not the best framework.
INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT FOR ATTRACTING INVESTMENTS IN THE AGRARIAN SECTOR OF THE ECONOMY IN THE CONDITIONS OF INNOVATIVE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Odnorog Maksym , Kraus Nataliia , Zagurskіy Oleg
Published: March 2019

Institutional dynamics refers to understudied processes both in economic theory and in economic practice. There is a lack of systematic knowledge on the composition, structure, and functioning of the basic socioeconomic institutions exactly of the investment process, therefore, the purpose of the paper lies in the study of institutional support for attracting investments in the agrarian sector of the economy. Methodology. The theoretical and methodological basis of research is the dialectical method of cognition and systematic approach through which there are theoretical and methodological foundations of strategic innovation institutes of the agricultural market. The results showed that the institutional environment of investment provision of the agrarian sector of the economy includes, on the one hand, agricultural producers with relevant on-farm structural units, managers, professionals, organizers of production and economic processes; in rural areas; local authorities and government; and on the other, a set of functionally competent institutions (legal, scientific, educational, informational, financial, controlling, deliberative, etc.). Each of these institutions has a corresponding purpose, socio-economic relevance, and is an integral part of this system. Practical implications. The studied institutions create incentives for the development of science and education, encourage the mobility of production factors, facilitate the transfer of scientific and technical information and the introduction of new technologies, promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. Conversely, inefficient institutions reduce the potential level of well-being, reduced reliability assurance of property rights and enforce contracts. Value/originality. The increasing importance of the institutional environment of investment provision of the agrarian sector of the economy gives an opportunity to define the latter as an important intangible factor in the development of agriculture and society as a whole, which creates the necessary conditions for transformation and development of the agrarian sector. The formation of a modern institutional environment should include a system of regulators, which would provide favourable conditions for attracting domestic and foreign investment, further structuring of the economic complex of the agrarian sector, the reduction of regional asymmetries of socio-economic development. How full the institutional environment of individual units of the investment will be depends on the realization of economic and social development priorities of the Ukrainian village.
COMPARATIVE LEGAL ASPECTS OF ENSURING THE ECONOMIC SECURITY OF COMPANIES IN RESOLVING CORPORATE CONFLICTS IN UKRAINE AND THE UNITED STATES
Authors: Demianchuk Vitalii , Bortsevych Pavlo
Published: March 2019

The aim of the article is to reveal the legal nature of corporate conflicts and ways to overcome them in Ukraine and the United States. The subject of the study is corporate conflicts caused by the corporate relations that arise between the owners of corporate rights, as well as the relationship between the owners of corporate rights and management bodies of the company. Methodology. The study is based on general scientific and specialscientific methods and techniques of scientific knowledge. The logical semantic method enabled to determine the content of the concepts of “corporate conflict” and “greenmail”. The comparative legal method enabled to compare the doctrinal approaches to this issue. The same method enabled to analyse US law regarding the subject matter. The normative dogmatic method enabled to interpret the content of legal regulations of domestic and foreign legislation that regulate the issue of corporate conflicts and ways to overcome them. The system-structural method enabled to analyse objective and subjective causes of corporate conflicts. Methods of analysis and synthesis enabled to distinguish features of corporate blackmail as the cause of corporate conflicts. The method of legal modelling enabled to develop proposals regarding greenmail prevention in Ukraine. Practical implications. Studies on the issue of greenmail in the US helped to develop recommendations for prevention of greenmail in Ukraine, as well as to identify issues requiring further consideration and research. Relevance/originality. The concepts of “corporate conflict” and “greenmail” are defined. The objective and subjective causes of the occurrence of corporate conflicts, the reasons for their occurrence, as well as the subjective component of the parties to the corporate conflict are analysed. The absence of the legal definition of the concept of greenmail and the effective mechanism of its prevention is stated, therefore, appropriate recommendations to prevent its occurrence are formulated.

Published: March 2019

The purpose of the article is to study the legal nature of the franchise agreement in Germany. The research subject is the franchise agreement in Germany. The methodology of research. The study is based on the use of general scientific and special scientific methods and techniques of scientific cognition. The dialectical method allowed studying the definition of franchising agreement in Germany and its essentials. The comparative legal method was applied in order to compare doctrinal approaches to this issue. Interpretation of the content of laws and regulations of German legislation covering issues related to the conclusion of the franchising agreement in this country was carried out by means of the normative-dogmatic method. The system-structural method was used to study franchising agreement in Germany as a unitary whole (system) with coordinated functioning of all its elements. Methods of grouping and classification formed the basis for singling out a list of requirements needed to conclude franchising agreement in Germany, as well as provision to be included in this agreement. Methods of analysis and synthesis helped to investigate separate parts of such an agreement in order to formulate further conclusions. Practical implications. The positive experience of Germany in the regulation of issues related to the conclusion of the franchising agreement can be used for introducing corresponding changes in the legislation of Ukraine. Value/ originality. This scientific paper is the first study in Ukraine devoted not to general issues of regulation of franchising activity in Europe but specifically to franchising agreement in a separate country (in Germany).
SettingsAustin Williams. China’s Urban Revolution: Understanding Chinese Eco-Cities

Published: March 2019

Austin Williams. China’s Urban Revolution: Understanding Chinese Eco-Cities. London and New York: Bloomsbury Academic. 2017. 220 pages. Price US $ 124.95 (Hardback). China is still considered to be a polluter and its city life is deplorable with unbreathable air and contaminated drinking water. These are the thoughts of the past and China is now bidding to emerge as an environmental soft-power at an impressive rate. The main argument of this book revolves around China’s rapid urbanisation and China’s government-led eco-city building programme. It is an attempt to falsify the Manichean Worldview of China, which tries to provide comprehendible classifications of a country that is much advanced for that. With rapid development and wealth creation, China’s fast urbanisation has outpaced that of any other country in the world, adding 458 cities in just last 4 decades—110 cities in a decade. But China is now pausing to think what it had done right and wrong in the last 40 years. William starts the book by explaining what a city is as well as the eco-city, and simplifies the definition of eco-city provided by the Chinese government i.e. a city where main drinking water sources are ‘adequate’ and its air quality is rated ‘good’ on 123 days of a year. Then he moves on how China has turned barren lands into wealth creating giants. But all this wealth and prosperity at that pace resulted in urban challenges like degraded environment. Over the course of the book, William contextualises the Chinese society and its evolution with respect to political events. Wealth creation is still the top priority of the Chinese government. To portray a soft image of the country, China is trying on multiple facets. For example, the Chinese Society for Urban Studies has created a new 28-item eco-city friendly list, which is different from other checklists such as by UNHABITAT and BREEAM. Throughout the book William uses sarcastic notes on how China is learning to experiment with spaces either by inviting rural households to newly developed cities or by reforming the older ones. From the book, it looks like there is a long way ahead for China to become eco- friendly. [Aqeel Anwar Chaudhry]

The psychological impact and experiences of children following the Hazelwood mine fire and subsequent smoke event
Authors: Maybery Darryl , Carroll Matthew , Berger Emily , Dipnall Joanna , Lee Sarah
Published: March 2019

Background: Children exposed to disasters often experience high levels of distress and are at risk of developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Objectives and Design: This study used a mixed method design to establish the psychological impact of the 2014 Hazelwood mine fire and resultant smoke exposure on young people. 323 young people from Morwell and surrounding areas completed the Children’s Revised Impact of Events Scale (CRIES). A stratified random sample of 69 Morwell participants then participated in an interview. Results: Analysis of CRIES results indicated moderate levels of distress on average, with heightened levels of distress in approximately one quarter of participants. The interviews revealed that children who were negatively affected by the event reported concerns about the health impacts and ongoing intrusive thoughts about the fire. Conclusions: This highlights the need for emergency and public health responses to future events, including those with unclear health outcomes, to recognise and respond to potential distress in the community, particularly in younger age groups.
The Gender Wage Gap Opens Long before Motherhood. Panel Evidence on Early Careers in Switzerland
Authors: Combet Benita , Oesch Daniel
Published: March 2019

According to a popular argument in economics, the gender wage gap persists not because of employer discrimination against women, but because of the differential investment of fathers and mothers into paid work and the household. We test this argument by comparing the evolution of wages between men and women before the onset of family formation and gendered household specialization. We use a cohort study of young adults for Switzerland (TREE 2000–2014) and match the two sexes on their intellectual ability and educational attainment before they enter the labour market. We then use the ensuing survey waves to account for human capital and job characteristics as well as for values towards work and family. We replicate our analysis with a second panel study of Swiss graduate students. We find in both cohort studies an unexplained gender wage gap of between 3 to 6 percent in favour of men. This result suggests that young women earn lower wages than young men with the same productive characteristics long before they have children. Translated into annual wages, this means that young women lose out on half a monthly wage each year in comparison to young men.

Authors: Ibraheem Awad A. , Al-Hajjaji Arwa S. , El-Azab Farid And M.
Published: March 2019

The elastic scattering of 17F have been studied for different mass targets (e.g. 12C, 14N, 58Ni, 208Pb) at different energies. We used the double folding optical model potential based on the density-dependent DDM3Y effective nucleon-nucleon interaction. Both version of the density distribution of the one-proton halo 17F nucleus has been taken into account in the above mentioned potential. The data for angular distributions of the elastic scattering differential cross section and reaction cross sections has been successfully reproduced at different energies using the above potentials. The energy dependence and the target mass number dependence of scattering in the imaginary volume integrals and the total reaction cross sections has also been studied.

The issue of succession is very important because the successful succession leads to the sustainability of a family businesses (Sharma & Dave, 2013). Generally, the family businesses are difficult to flourish and even many have bankrupt. Some family businesses are bound on the first generation  and some have collapsed in the second generation.  Literature shows that just 30 percent of family businesses can be passed along to the second generation, and 70 percent fail after first generation step down because there are no preparation for succession and inability  of the next generation to control and run the company (Aronoff, (2004).  The study purposed to examine six hypotheses and the result showed the succession planning, non-family leadership, and decision making authority unsignificantly affect on the succession of the family business. Nevertheless, founder's influence, successor and strategic planning variable affect significantly to the success of family business succession at Padang city, West Sumatera.

This study attempts to explore the effect of interpersonal-trust on opportunism and business performance of gem dealers in Sri Lanka. Therefore, the study suggests three major hypothesis which was tested on primary data gathered from 100 registered gem dealers in the Ratnapura district in Sri Lanka, using structured questionnaires. The results demonstrate that inter-personal trust i.e. credibility, benevolence, ability among gem dealers have a significant negative impact on opportunism and positive significant impact on business improvements. Whereas highlighting the inverse relationship between business opportunism and performance. Furthermore, this study concludes that inter-personal trust has greater impacts on the well-being of this industry highlighting it as the main relational attribute among gem dealers interactions. Thus, inter-personal trust lowers their transaction costs in exchanges and increase the profit levels of gem dealers in Sri Lanka.

Domestic violence happens when a woman or man regularly hurts his or her spouse physically or verbally such as beats or mentally tortures the other. Meeting face-to-face in the mediation process with the batterer to resolve family disputes may raise the issue of power imbalance, especially when the victim hide the history of violence. This article reviews the challenges of Muslim family disputes in Malaysia resolving the disputes with the history of violence and analyses what online mediation may offer to overcome the said problem. Being a pure legal research, this paper is doctrinal in its approach. The finding of this research is mediation is not an appropriate mechanism to resolve Muslim family disputes with the history of violence because it will cause more injustice to the victim. Thus, this paper concludes by suggesting online mediation as another alternative to resolve the family disputes.

Published: March 2019

The study findings revealed that curriculum internationalization is generally well-perceived by local undergraduates in the Malaysian public university. Specifically, the respondents agreed on the importance of internationalization of curriculum by their university. In their view, the internationalization elements have been integrated into the curriculum through various approaches by their lecturers, such as by infusing a global perspective in the lessons.  Despite the perceived importance of curriculum internationalization, this study also reported that there are several barriers hindering local undergraduates to actively participate in internationalization activities, which include financial constraints and lack of awareness among the students about such programs and activities in their university.

The advancement for the internet facilities have encouraged the the proliferation of online shopping especially apparel segments in Malaysia. Apparel are not only for basic neccessity but also as a trendy fashion as well. Meeting an appropriate sizing and comfortable apparel are the most important elements for consideration of purchasing. This study has determined the uncertainty problem on sizing and fit of apparel for Malaysian children from the perceptive of parents or guardians. Girth and length were identified as a good key dimensions measurement. Height and bust and, height and waist were used to measure upper body and lower body respectively. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) has proved that higher income households had greater discrepancies with respect to satisfaction levels items than lower income household. Different apparel sizing system by brands and manufacturers could lead to consumer confusion and dissatisfaction in shopping via online.

Published: March 2019

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a highly prevalent pediatric cancer accounting for approximately 78% of leukemia cases in patients younger than 15 years old. Different studies have demonstrated that B-cell translocation gene 3 (BTG3) plays a suppressive role in the progress of different cancers. Genistein is considered a natural and biocompatible compound and a new anti-cancer agent. In this study, we evaluate the effect of genistein on BTG3 expression and proliferation of ALL cancer cells. Materials and Methods: ALL cell lines (MOLT4, MOLT17, and JURKAT) were cultured in standard conditions. Cytotoxicity of genistein was detected using MTT assay. The cells were treated with different concentrations of genistein (10, 25, 40, and 55μM) for 24, 48, and 72 hours, and then cell viability and growth rate were measured. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was applied to investigate the effect of genistein on BTG3 expression. Results: The percentage of vital cells treated with genistein significantly decreased compared to the non-treated cells, showed an inverse relationship with an increasing genistein concentration. The present study suggests a dose of 40μM for genistein as a potent anticancer effect. Genistein could elevate BTG3 for 1.7 folds in MOLT4 and JURKAT and 2.7 folds in MOLT17 cell lines at transcription level conveged with 60 to 90% reduction in the proliferation rate of cancer cells. Conclusion: Up-regulation of BTG3 as a tumor suppressor gene can be induced by genistein. It seems that BTG3 reactivation can be introduced as another mechanism of anti-proliferative effect of genistein and could be considered as a retardant agent candidate against hematopoietic malignancy.[GMJ. 2019;inpress:e1229]
Expression of Socio-Political Zeitgeist in Tsarist Central Asia Printing

Published: March 2019

Orientalist approach to Central Asia especially Bukhara in our historical references present a romantic picture. This paper takes publications and printing as the indicator of intellectual maturity of the population and progressive zeitgeist in socio-political life. Analysis of historical events and facts reveal very little appetite of reading, almost universal ignorance and scarcity of written/printed books. The transformation of Central Asia took place after introduction of presses during the Tsarist control. With the arrival of printing, not only literacy increased but also the scope, number and range of topics expanded. As a result of printing/publication, the Jadidist ideology emerged and opposed the Qadimist status quo. Ultimately the Jadids prevailed. Therefore, the paper establishes that socio-political awakening and increase in printing/publication are linked. The paper recommends revisiting errors in the representation of Central Asia in our accounts of history
„Das Volk“ als Fluchtburg in Krisenzeiten
Authors: Holtmann Everhard
Published: March 2019

Die Wahlerfolge der AfD rühren daher, dass die Partei erfolgreich ein psychologisches Krisen-Reaktionsmuster bedient, das in Deutschland gegenwärtig verbreitet und auch historisch nachweisbar ist. Die verbindende ideologische Klammer der rechtspopulistischen Botschaft ist die Projektion von völkischer Identität, welche die Abgrenzung „des Eigenen“ gegen „das Fremde“ einschließt. Die geistigen Ursprünge des völkischen Ideologems und der damit verknüpften völkischen Feindbilder lassen sich bis in die Anfänge des 19. Jahrhunderts zurückverfolgen.
Die frühe Bildung und Betreuung in Deutschland: Familien- oder Bildungspolitik? Oder beides?
Authors: Spieß C. Katharina , Koebe Josefine
Published: March 2019

Die öffentlich finanzierte Kindertagesbetreuung ist zu einem elementaren Bestandteil des kindlichen Aufwachsens in Deutschland geworden – sowohl aus einer Perspektive der Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf als auch der frühen Förderung von Kindern. Sie bewegt sich damit im Spannungsfeld zwischen Familien- und Bildungspolitik. Mit diesem Spannungsfeld befasst sich dieser Beitrag und plädiert letztlich für eine an den Kindern und den Eltern orientierte Bildungs- und Familienpolitik.
Digitalpakt kontrovers. Die falsche Alternative: Die Schulen retten oder den Föderalismus retten?
Authors: Sturm Roland
Published: March 2019

Schon bei den Verhandlungen zur Bildung einer neuen GroKo fiel auf, dass einerseits großer Konsens unter den Beteiligten (einschließlich der Landespolitiker) herrschte, dass es in Deutschland einer besonderen Anstrengung zur Modernisierung seines Bildungswesens bedarf, dass aber andererseits keiner der Beteiligten sich um die Kompetenzverteilung im Bundesstaat scherte. Auf den Punkt bringt das beklagenswerte Desinteresse am Föderalismus als Wahrer demokratischer Mitwirkungsmöglichkeiten (vertikale Gewaltenteilung) der auch von der Bundeskanzlerin oft bemühte Satz: Den Bürgern ist es egal, wer für was zuständig ist.

BACKGROUND:

Kinesio Tape (KT) is one of the most common taping methods used to prevent injuries, rehabilitate injured athletes, and improve muscle performance. But there are no studies investigating the acute effect of reverse taping on the isokinetic muscle strength.

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the effects of KT applied to quadriceps (Q) and hamstring (H) muscles on knee extension (Ex) and flexion (Flx) strength, H/Q ratio, and fatigue index (FI).

METHODS:

In total, 17 healthy male subjects with a history of regular physical activity for at least 3 years participated in the study voluntarily. The muscle facilitation and muscle inhibition techniques of KT were applied in reverse direction to the Q and H muscles, and concentric/concentric isokinetic Ex and Flx strengths of the knee were measured at 60, 180, and 240[Formula: see text]/s. Isokinetic Ex and Flx strengths were measured without any application of KT, in trial 1 (T1). In trial 2 (T2), muscle facilitation was applied to Q, and muscle inhibition was applied to H. In trial 3 (T3), muscle facilitation was applied to H, and muscle inhibition was applied to Q. A body analyzer was used for height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) values.

RESULTS:

As for the strength, T2 showed higher scores compared to T1 and T3 at all angular velocities ([Formula: see text] 0.05). The values of the H/Q ratio at T2 were higher than at T1 at 180 and 240[Formula: see text]/s ([Formula: see text] 0.05). No significant difference was found in the mean FI values between the trials at any of the test velocities.

CONCLUSIONS:

Simultaneous facilitation and inhibition, applied to Q and H, respectively, had a positive effect on both the Ex and Flx strengths and also on H/Q ratio at high angular velocities (180[Formula: see text] and 240[Formula: see text]) in healthy individuals. The mechanism responsible for this improvement is probably associated with creating different tensions in Q and H muscle groups by the reverse application of KT.
