Bulgarian Architectural Modernism, German Influences, and Industrial Architecture
Authors: Makarinov Vassil , Karakolev Theodore
Published: April 2020

Celebrating the 100th anniversary of Bauhaus school, a team of researchers from “Bulgarian Modernist Architecture” examined archives of German technical universities where Bulgarian architects studied in the first half of the 20th century. The archives in Munich, Berlin and Dresden have preserved the names and records of hundreds of Bulgarian architects from the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s. Their education, university professors, the environment in which they were formed (exhibitions, artistic trends and events) including Bauhaus connections, and how all of these informed the architecture in our country between the two world wars were among the questions explored by the researchers Vassil Makarinov and Theodore Karakolev. After the research in Germany, the team also plans to delve in the industrial architecture from the interwar period - a topic that is poorly known in our country.
Application of Blockchain Technology in e-LoA Technopreneurship Journal
Authors: Williams Alexander , Dolan Ellen
Published: April 2020

LoA or Letter of Acceptance is a statement received. LoA is usually used as a statement of scholarship acceptance or even journal acceptance. In addition, the current issuance of LoA is still conventional, using paper as the access medium. This is certainly inefficient. In addition, the issuance of LoAs that can be accessed through the website also has certain problems. Many parties doubt the security of the LoA issued through the website, whether confidentiality is really maintained or not. To solve this problem, e-LoA (electronic LoA) was implemented using blockchain technology on the Technopreneurship Journal website. With the use of blockchain technology on this website, LoA data cannot be changed, duplicated or deleted. So that it can improve security and support transparency in the issuance and access of LoA. e-LoA issued through the website also makes it easier for parties to access and download a verified LoA.
حروف المعاني ودلالاتها في آيات الأمانة في القرآن الكريم

اقتضت منهجية بحثي عن تلك الحروف ودلالتها في آيات الأمانة في القرآن الكريم، إذ تآزرت مفاهيم عنوانات البحث ليستقيم في تمهيد ومباحث، أمّا التَّمهيد فكان في جانبين: عرّفت في أوله بمفهوم الأمانة لغةً واصطلاحاً، وفي الثاني بينتُ دلالة الحرف لغةً واصطلاحًا وحروف المعاني، وخُصصت الأولى لدراسة حروف الجر في آيات الأمانة، فقد بينتُ فيها معاني تلك الحروف كـ(إلى، الباء، على، لام الجر، من) أما الثاني كان في بيان دلالة حروف العطف منها (أو، ثمّ، الفاء، الواو)، وانعقد الثالث لدلالة حرف الاستفهام (هل)، ومن الجدير بالإشارة إلى أن البحث لم يتناول حرف الاستفهام الثاني (الهمزة)؛ لعدم ورودها ضمن الآيات المخصصة للدراسة، وكان الرابع في دلالة حروف الشرط الجازمة وغير الجازمة والجملة الشرطية، وتناول الأخير بيان معاني حروف النصب، والاختلاف الدِّلالي في تركيب النصوص القرآنية ضمن السياق القرآني الكريم، أما الخاتمة فقد أظهرت النتائج التي توصل إليها البحث، إذ أثبت البحث:

أنَّ الحُروفَ ليسَ لهَا دَلالةٌ مُستَقلةٌ بِنفسِهَا، بَلْ إنَّها تَكتَسبُ هذهِ الدَّلالةُ منْ خِلالِ وَضْعَهَا بينَ الأسماءِ والأفعَالِ فِي النصوص القرآنية.

المعنى الوظيفي للسياق ارتبط بمعاني الحروف، مما أدى إلى اختلاف التفسير القرآني الكريم.

Pemurnian minyak jelantah dengan menggunakan adsorben serbuk biji kelor tanpa karbonisasi dan bentonit
Authors: Fitri Hadiah  , Meliasari Tri , Heryanto
Published: April 2020

Konsumsi minyak goreng masyarakat Indonesia hingga 2017 mencapai 2,36 juta ton. Angka tersebut menunjukkan ketersediaan minyak jelantah yang sangat besar. Minyak jelantah yang telah melalui proses adsorpsi dapat bernilai ekonomis, salah satunya menjadi bahan baku untuk industri biodiesel. Adsorben yang digunakan adalah serbuk biji kelor tanpa karbonisasi (BK) dan bentonit (B). Bentonit dikombinasikan dengan serbuk biji kelor sebagai pembanding dan untuk mencari kombinasi rasio yang tepat diantara keduanya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keefektifan BK dan B dalam mengadsorpsi zat-zat yang tidak diinginkan di dalam minyak jelantah, serta untuk mengetahui isotherm adsorpsi dari proses tersebut. Sebanyak 50 g minyak jelantah dicampurkan dengan 25 g adsorben dengan variasi rasio massa BK dan B sebesar 100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 dan 0:100. Aktivasi biji kelor menggunakan NaOH 1 N dan bentonit menggunakan HCl 1 N, pada suhu 90C dan kecepatan pengadukan 100 rpm. Proses adsorpsi dilakukan pada temperatur 70C dengan kecepatan pengadukan 200 rpm. Lama variasi kontak adsorpsi yaitu 30, 60, 90, 120, dan 150 menit. Hasil terbaik pada variasi rasio BK:B yaitu 0:100, lama adsorpsi 120 menit dengan angka asam sebesar 2,77 mg KOH/g, viskositas sebesar 50,3162 mm2/s, densitas sebesar 4,5605 kg/m3, konsentrasi akhir sebesar 8,718× 10-7 M serta kapasitas adsorpsi sebesar 2,694× 10-6 mg/g. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa bentonit saja lebih baik dalam mengadsorpsi minyak jelantah daripada biji kelor saja atau kombinasi keduanya. Pemurnian minyak jelantah ini mengikuti isoterm Freundlich dengan nilai R2 yang lebih besar daripada isoterm Langmuir.
Europa Środkowa i Wschodnia w okresie poszukiwania własnej tożsamości politycznej oraz zmian systemowych
Authors: Baluk Walenty
Published: April 2020

The paradigm of the political identity of Central and Eastern Europe was being formed on the sidelines of the paradigm of modernization of the region’s states, getting beyond control of the East (authoritarianism) and heading towards Western democracies. In the process of democratization of the countries of the region, the transformation paradigm developed by Western political scientists had to be adapted to the Eastern European reality. The countries of the region underwent a complex process of systemic changes in the political and economic dimension, and some also in the state-building and nation-building dimensions. Three decades of transformation point to a significant group of countries in which democratization has been successful or is heading in the right direction. The second group of states balances between hybrid regimes and non-consolidated democracy, while the third group of countries has failed the experiment of democratization.

Published: April 2020

Case report of adrenocortical carcinoma recurrence after adrenalectomy and combined treatment.

We report the case of a 46 year old man with silent adrenal mass. Imaging showed a large left adrenal mass with no evidence of distant metastasis. Complete surgical excision of the tumor was performed. After 5 years after surgical treatment, a local relapse of the disease was detected according to the results of CT, followed by PET/ CT with 18F-FDG — no evidence of distant metastases were detected. After complex treatment metastases were diagnosed by follow up PET/CT.

This case report demonstrates possibilities of PET/CT with 18F-FDG in determination of adrenal mass malignancy and in cases of recurrent adrenocortical cancer, in cases of metastatic lesions.
Regularity and Conjugacy for Constrained Variational Problems
Authors: Rosenblueth Javier F.
Published: April 2020

For problems in the calculus of variations involving equality and inequality mixed constraints we characterize, in terms of an extended notion of conjugate points, the sign of a quadratic form which corresponds to the second variation of the integral to be minimized. Second order necessary conditions are then derived assuming the well-known constraint qualification of regularity in the sense that, with respect to the set of mixed constraints, both the tangent cone and the set of tangential constraints coincide.
THE 21ST AIR TRANSPORT RESEARCH SOCIETY CONFERENCE
Authors: Efthymiou Marina , Zou Li
Published: April 2020

The Air Transport Research Society (ATRS) was launched as a special interest group of the World Conference on Transport Research Society (WCTR) during the 7th Triennial WCTR Conference at Sydney in 1995. Headquartered at the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland, ATRS is a platform for exchanging research ideas and results and facilitating multi-national and/ or multi- disciplinary research collaborations. Professor Tae Oum is the ATRS Founder and Chair and Professor Martin Dresner is the President and CEO. ATRS has its networking committee consisting of representatives around the group including researchers, economists, consultants and professionals. Since 2001, ATRS has been producing on a yearly basis a Global Airport Benchmarking Report. The report provides over 30 performance metrics for measuring and assessing effects of the operating environment and service quality of the airport, and airport management strategies such as business diversification, outsourcing, etc. Initiated at the University of British Columbia, the annual Global Airport Performance Benchmarking project is currently hosted at the David B. O’Maley College of Business at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. A task force, led by Professor Chunyan Yu, and consisting of 16 leading researchers from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America guides the development of the annual report released every summer. More than 200 airports and 20 airport groups are covered and benchmarked among peer airports worldwide and within the three regions currently including North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific & Oceania. With the objective of providing the most comprehensive and unbiased comparison of airports performance regarding productivity and efficiency, financial performance, unit cost competitiveness, and airport charges, the report currently consists of three parts. The first part provides a summary of the research methodology and main findings. The second part, which is the main body of the report, provides comparative assessments of airport performance and characteristics such as traffic volume, number of employees, terminal-airside capacity, and airport charges. The last part of the report presents a short profile of each airport, its new development and recent awards.
A Driver-Based Approach to Airport Valuation
Authors: Vogel Hans-Arthur , Graham Anne
Published: April 2020

This paper presents the first part of results of extensive research on an alternative concept to airport valuation. It reviews raditional and alternative valuation measures, illustrated by a sample of eight publicly quoted European airports. The main objective is to derive a model taking account of the underlying key value drivers.A peer group analysis shows that only few sector multiples applied by the investors’ community are significantly correlated with key performance indicators based on business fundamentals. By contrast to the results of this alternative driver-based valuation approach, these market multiples are affected by stock market fluctuations and do not adequately reflect the financial position and true value, and hence supports this paper’s view that airports should be valued by recognising key success factors.
MODELLING THE ORAL COMMUNICATION PERFORMANCE OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL
Authors: Yen Jin-Ru
Published: April 2020

This study proposes a mechanism for measuring pilot-controller communication errors and develops a model to evaluate their communication performance. Empirical data based on 73 transcripts of communication from the Taipei Flight Information Region (FIR) are analyzed to validate the developed model and investigate communication issues. The results show that about 87% of all communication errors found in the transcripts had a relatively low level of influence on flight safety, while 13% had a severe influence. Additionally, the results of performance measurement indicate that the overall level of communication performance is relatively low. These findings are expected to be applicable to other countries whose native languages are not English. The performance model developed in this study can help management in the industry to evaluate radio communication performance of their aviation personnel.
DEVELOPING A CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF AIRLINE SAFETY IN NEW ZEALAND: A SYSTEMS THINKING APPROACH
Authors: Su-Wuen Ong , Cavana Robert , Sahli Mondher
Published: April 2020

Airline safety tends to result from a combination of many different circumstances that include technical, human, environmental and organizational factors. By using the systems thinking tools of qualitative system dynamics, this paper develops a conceptual causal loop diagram that connects possible influential factors on airline safety. This theoretical investigation constitutes a sound basis for the development of cause-effect relationships associated with accident and incident analysis in the air transport industry. Our findings suggest that causal loop modelling is a very useful tool for producing a comprehensive model of airline safety management that takes into account the multi-dimensional and complex nature of air safety mechanisms. It is hoped that the airline industry, and particularly air safety managers, will become more aware of the importance of this kind of modelling to mprove their airline safety management systems.
HOLIDAY TRIPS: CONVENIENCE, EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS
Authors: Liasidou Sotiroula
Published: April 2020

This paper aims to provide an understanding on the decision making process that guide tourism trips based on the various strategies developed by the airlines. The primary research data was analysed using factor analysis as a pertinent statistical tool for grouping variables in order to understand common consumption behaviours. The results of the study are indicative and suggest that tourists are classified in accordance with 'customer service' that include ground and in-flight service. Then, the second factor is 'price sensitive and Internet', which refers to dimensions such as the airline ticket and the frequency of trips. Finally, 'selection in travel behaviour' is associated with the choice based on the operation of the airlines, for instance the airports.

This letter of James is shown to the twelve tribes in the overseas, those who are being tossed around related to the socioeconomic level faced by the church, namely the problem between the rich and the poor. So this letter was written before the year 62 AD. In this article we write about the implementation of the blessed expression of those who endure trials in James 1: 12-15. The background is where James says that those who are happy are those who endure trials. In this context it talks about how people's attitudes in the face of temptation, in this case James appealed to the twelve tribes that are overseas so that they endure trials, love God more, persevere in their faith, and are always faithful to God when facing trials. Real happiness is that people are blessed by God, but the problem is only limited to understanding but when confronted with a problem, trials, and lack of needs to be unhappy, less grateful for what is experienced. Therefore this article reminds believers of the true principle of happiness.

Authors: Gulo Manase
Published: April 2020

Sexuality is God's plan for Christian marriage. But not a few deviations occur in the marriage of believers, irregularities occur because of misunderstanding the meaning of sexuality in marriage, namely in terms of assessment and application. This deviation can be found in the Corinthian church which is a very serious problem. Therefore it is very important to examine the principles of sexuality in marriage, one of the Apostle Paul's answers to the problem is in Chapter 1 Corinthians 7: 1-5, therefore to make an important contribution to understanding sexuality in marriage for believers, it is necessary to make review of exegetical studies.

Authors: Waharman Waharman
Published: April 2020

One of the tasks of the church's vocation in this world is to preach the gospel or testify about Christ (Marturia), which is to preach the good news about the salvation of the Lord Jesus to a world filled with sin. That is why every Christian who has received salvation must be His witness in the midst of this world, so that those who do not believe have a part in the kingdom of God in Christ Jesus. But often there is failure and despair by the Evangelists, because they have given all the best efforts in evangelism but there is no soul that believes. This happens one of them because many evangelists do not understand and believe in the role of the Holy Spirit in evangelism. Therefore this article was written to provide an understanding of the role of the Holy Spirit in Evangelism based on the Gospel of John 16: 4b-15.

Swapping Avocation for Vocation
Authors: Hai-Jew Shalin
Published: April 2020

If subsistence were not a factor, in a time of less available work, a simple shift for human lifestyles would be from vocation to avocation, such as serious hobby and skilled leisure activities. As expressed in the West, avocations can be all-consuming: expensive, time-intensive, resource-intensive, skilled, long-term, sophisticated, pro-social, and self-affirming. In many cases, serious leisure activities may result in skillsets that are near-professional in status and scope. Some people practice as amateurs (and novices) in various professional fields, as citizen practitioners and citizen scientists. This work offers a conceptual exploration of the affordances and constraints of expansive serious hobbies and skilled leisure activities to stand-in for full work participation.
Robust Multimedia Watermarking
Authors: Kaur Avinash , Singh Parminder , Nayyar Anand
Published: April 2020

The data transmission on network channel has increased tremendously in the past few decades. Watermarking is a process to add watermark as a digital signal, label, or tag into a cover media. The primary requirements of multimedia watermarking are robustness and embedding capability. The robustness is defined as the strength of an algorithm to repel the noise. However, it is challenging to achieve both at the same time. The numerous characteristics of watermarking are very imperative in the multimedia watermarking system. The researchers are using watermarking schemes in various applications such as military, digital forensics, medical, and so on. Attacks of these watermarking harm or uncover the secret information carried in the watermark. Potential researchers have been presented various techniques for balancing or improving these concerns. This chapter reviews the recent multimedia watermarking techniques on the basis of robustness and embedding capability. The characteristics, applications, and attacks on multimedia watermarking techniques are introduced.
The evolution of the ancestral voice that always was and always will be
Authors: Simpson Kerri
Published: April 2020

In our stories, we carry the concept of voice in various forms. In the context of contact the Indigenous ‘voice’ is one ever-present and evolving. It is omnipresent, laying down new foundations for the ‘voice’ through to new generations. It is the representation of an entire culture. It is not a natural language or the voice of academia. It is as ancient as its land and lies at the heart of its peoples. It is a cultural voice. It is the voice of the dreaming. It is the voice of resistance. It is the voice of self-determination.

Broken Glass: Sylvia Gellburg's Mirror Stage
Authors: Marino Catherine
Published: April 2020

This article explores Sylvia Gellburg's awakening at the end of Arthur Miller's Broken Glass through the lens of “méconnaissance” (misrecognition), a term coined by Lacan and applied by feminine theorist Kathleen Woodward to a second “mirror stage” of aging. Lacan's mirror stage describes how a human infant creates a fixed sense of an ideal self, an integrated “whole” albeit illusionary, toward which the individual strives his or her entire life. Woodward writes that many postmenopausal women experience a “misrecognition” of their aging selves in the mirror or in photographs. While this is often a traumatic experience, she argues that it opens the possibility for a second mirror stage, where the individual can reimagine the self. The death of the illusion of the ideal allows for greater self-awareness and a more authentic life. I argue that Sylvia's gradual awakening in the play can be viewed through the lens of a second mirror stage and also is linked to Phillip's self-realization.

Published: April 2020

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi conhecer os fatores que mais motivam os praticantes de Jiu-jitsu dentro das seguintes dimensões motivacionais: Controle do Estresse, Saúde, Sociabilidade, Competitividade, Prazer e Estética. Foi aplicado o Inventário de Motivação à Prática Regular de Atividades Físicas e/ou Esportivas – IMPRAFE-132 – de Balbinotti (2009). A amostra foi composta por 40 praticantes de Jiu-jitsu em diferentes academias e clubes de Porto Alegre, na faixa etária de 13 a 53 anos, de ambos os sexos. Constatou-se como fatores que mais motivam à prática regular da modalidade as dimensões Saúde, Prazer, seguida por Controle de Estresse, Competitividade, Estética e Sociabilidade que obtiveram valores indissociáveis estatisticamente. Quanto à dimensão Sociabilidade, embora tendo ficado dentro do terceiro grupo, apresentou um valor limítrofe, ficando muito próximo de p = 0,05. Com isso, os resultados indicam que os principais motivos que levam os praticantes de Jiu-jitsu pesquisados em Porto Alegre a manter a prática regular deste esporte são a manutenção da saúde e a obtenção de momentos de prazer.
Guideline-Concordant Treatment Among Elderly Women With HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer in the United States

Published: April 2020

Background: It is crucial to identify whether women with HER2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) are treated according to treatment guidelines and whether treatment disparities exist. This study examined guideline-concordant treatment among women with HER2+ MBC and determined the magnitude of differences in treatment between those with positive and negative hormone receptor (HR) status using a nonlinear decomposition technique. Methods: A retrospective observational cohort study was conducted using the SEER-Medicare linked database. The study cohort consisted of women aged ≥66 years diagnosed with HER2+ MBC in 2010 through 2013 (n=241). Guideline-concordant initial treatment after cancer diagnosis was defined based on the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology for Breast Cancer. A multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify significant predictors of guideline-concordant treatment. A postregression decomposition was conducted to identify the magnitude of disparities in treatment by HR status. Results: Of 241 women included in the study, a total of 76.8% received guideline-concordant treatment. These women were significantly more likely to have positive HR status (P=.0298), have good performance status (P=.0009), and more oncology visits (P<.0001). With 1-year increments in age at cancer diagnosis, the likelihood of receiving guideline-concordant treatment reduced by 5% (P=.0356). The decomposition analysis revealed that 19.0% of the disparity in guideline-concordant treatment between women with positive and negative HR status was explained by differences in their characteristics. Enabling characteristics (marital status, income, and education) explained the highest (22.8%) proportion of the disparity. Conclusions: Nearly one-quarter of the study cohort did not receive guideline-concordant treatment. Our findings suggest opportunities to improve cancer care for elderly women with negative HR status who are unpartnered or have lower socioeconomic status. The high unexplained portion of the disparity by HR status can be due to patient treatment preferences, propensity to seek care, and organizational and physician-level characteristics that were not included in the study.
Role of Immunotherapy in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
Authors: Keenan Tanya E. , Tolaney Sara M.
Published: April 2020

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have led to durable clinical remissions in many metastatic cancers. However, the single-agent efficacy of ICIs in breast cancer is low, including in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which has several key characteristics that enhance ICI responses. Strategies to improve anticancer immune responses in TNBC are urgently needed to extend survival for patients with metastatic disease. This review presents ICI monotherapy response rates and discusses combination strategies with chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and novel immunotherapies. It concludes with a summary of immunotherapy biomarkers in TNBC and a call to action for future directions of research critical to advancing the efficacy of immunotherapy for patients with TNBC.

Authors: Vicente Fernández Pilar , Arroyo Almaraz Isidoro
Published: April 2020

Purpose: The social and cultural dimension of the commercial message attests to the link between advertising and the historical context in which it takes place, affecting women and communication from various perspectives. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the evolution of the image of women in advertising according to their role as prescribers of commercial messages related to brands and beauty products in the last 56 years of the History of Graphic Advertising in Spain.

Design / Methodology / Approach: An exploratory and descriptive methodology is used via the technique of content analysis that applies to all the graphic advertisements of the Beauty and Hygiene sector inserted during the months of December in Telva, whose choice is based on the fact that it is the oldest high-end women’s magazine in the country of research. The sample covers from the year 1963, date of the first issue, until 2018, having studied 1020 graphic advertisements.

Results: There were differences in the treatment of the figure of women as advertising prescriber according to the decade analyzed, being common, however, a marked aspirational and connotative character in preaching as well as a small role for the male participant as a companion in the work of prescribing. The solidity of the feminine imprint is concluded in a women’s communication aimed at women.

Research limitations/implications: The case is restricted to the graphic medium journals, and it is possible to propose future complementary research on comparative analyses between various media and different sectors of business activity.

Originality/value: The extent and scope of the time of study covered stand out, allowing one to delve into the fundamentals of the advertising prescription prevailing today as well as highlighting the most outstanding particularities of the prescription of brands and cosmetic products.
Diversidad de género en los consejos de administración: El efecto de la normativa en la presencia de mujeres en las empresas españolas cotizadas
Authors: Martínez-García Irma , Sacristán-Navarro María , Gómez-Ansón Silvia
Published: April 2020

Purpose: This paper studies the implication on Spanish listed companies´ corporate governance structures of regulations that aim to promote gender diversity on boards- code of good governance, Spanish national quota legislation and the proposal of Directive of the European Commission-.

Design/methodology: We analyze the changes in corporate governance, using statistical techniques for related samples and panel data that relate to gender diversity for Spanish listed companies from 2003-2016.

Results: The results show a slow positive trend of women in corporate governance of Spanish listed companies as well as a positive effect of gender diversity on boards’ regulation, although not for all variables studied. In fact, the percentage of women executive directors, Chairwoman and women CEOs, and the percentage of women in executive committees are very low over all the studied period. Besides, the effect on women presence in corporate governance structures is higher for national normatives, code and quota, than for the threat of the European Directive.

Research limitations/implications: The main paper limitations are associated to the sample used (listed firms) and to the institution context (the Spanish case). The quota approved by the Spanish Equality Act affects large firms, not just quoted firms. Spanish institutional environment and its characteristics may affect the effects associated to the law. In different institutional environments, the results could differ The paper reveals the positive effect on women’s presence in corporate governance structures of legislation that promotes women on boards. Nevertheless, there still remains a long trend to achieve parity. Gender diversity on corporate governance structures has important implication for corporate reputation.

Originality/value: We analyze the impact of gender diversity regulation on women presence on boards of directors. We extend the analysis considering directors’ typology and other corporate boards i.e. board committees and TMT.
