Authors: Uribe Nelson , Betancourt Antonio , Hernández Darwin
Published: June 2020

Introducción: el parasitismo es uno de los principales problemas de salud y producción animal en Colombia, como lo es en otros países de la región; por lo tanto, es importante identificar aquellos más frecuentes con el propósito de considerar estrategias de prevención y control.  Este trabajo se realizó con el objetivo de aportar al conocimiento sobre los endoparásitos y ectoparásitos presentes en los équidos sacrificados entre octubre y diciembre de 2015 en la Planta de Beneficio Villa Rosa, Piedecuesta, Santander, Colombia.

Metodología: para la identificación de los ectoparásitos y hemoparásitos se utilizaron 83 équidos, y 75, para los parásitos gastrointestinales. Los ectoparásitos se colectaron directamente de la piel y para los hemoparásitos se utilizaron las técnicas de hemocultivo, Woo, preparaciones en fresco, extendidos coloreados y Knott. Los parásitos gastrointestinales se estudiaron mediante las técnicas de McMaster, sedimentación-flotación, cultivo de heces y necropsia helmintológica.

Resultados: el 31,32 % de los équidos examinados estaban parasitados con Anocentor nitens y el 8,43 % presentó infestación mixta con Amblyomma cajennense s.l. El piojo Haematopinus asini fue colectado en un animal. Salvo la presencia de microfilarias de Setaria equina en 7,2 % de las muestras, no se detectaron hemoparásitos con los procedimientos parasitológicos empleados. Se observaron huevos tipo Strongylida en 88 % de las muestras; Dictyocaulus sp. en 6,6 %; Parascaris sp. en 5,33 %; Oxyuris sp. en 5,33 %; Strongyloides sp. en 1,33 % y Anoplocephala sp. en 9,3 %. En el cultivo de heces se observaron 12 larvas L3 de la subfamilia Cyathostominae o “pequeños Strongylus” y una del nematodo Trichostrongylus axei. En las necropsias se hallaron adultos de: Habronema megastoma, Setaria equina, Oxyuris equi, Strongylus sp., Triodontophorus, Cyathostominae y Anoplocephala perfoliata.

Conclusiones: los parasitismos por garrapatas, grandes y pequeños estróngilos y tenias, son frecuentes en los equinos sacrificados. Se recomiendan técnicas serológicas y moleculares para detectar hemoparásitos en estudios posteriores.

Authors: KULAK Önder
Published: June 2020

Due to its worldwide influence, binge-watching has become one of the important research topics for philosophy and social sciences such as sociology, psychology, and media studies. Although noticable articles and books have been written about binge-watching, more studies seem needed when considering its influence on individuals. This article depends on such a requirement and aims to examine the binge-watching experience on Netflix. For this purpose, the article is divided into three main parts. After explaining the concept of binge-watching in the first part, the binge model and the binge culture are elucidated according to the Netflix environment. Then, the binge is discussed in the second part as an important piece of contemporary industrial culture. Here, the motivations behind binge-watching and how the attention of the viewer is maintained through the abuse of suspense are explained. Moreover, the temporal structure and misdirections in the narrative are examined as the characteristics of the cultural commodity suitable for bingeing. As to the third part, The Stranger (2020) series of Netflix is analysed in detail as an example. An evaluation regarding these three parts is given in the conclusion to sum up how binge-watching is experienced in the Netflix environment.

Reklamın Değişen Yüzünde Çevrim İçi Davranışsal Reklamcılık: İnternet Kullanıcıları Perspektifinden Bir Araştırma
Authors: AKAN Nilay , TANYERİ Emel
Published: June 2020

Son yıllarda reklamcılık sektörünün dijital ortama taşınmasıyla ortaya çıkan reklam iletişimindeki yeni alanlardan biri de çevrim içi davranışsal reklamcılık uygulamalarıdır. Özellikle kişisel verilere dayanarak üretilen bu reklam türünde çevrim içi tüketicinin bilgi düzeyleri, farkındalıkları ve algılamalarının anlaşılması reklamverenler, yasal belirleyiciler ve tüketiciler açısından önem taşımaktadır.Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı çevrim içi davranışsal reklamcılık uygulamalarını incelemek ve tüketicinin bu reklama ilişkin bilgi düzeyleri, farkındalıkları ve algılamalarını ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu amacı gerçekleştirmek için öncelikle reklamcılığın toplumsal değişimlerle birlikte yaşadığı dönüşümler ve dijimodernizm kuramı çerçevesinde dijitalleşen yaşam bağlamında dijital reklam iletişiminin doğası ve çevrim içi davranışsal reklamların nasıl şekillendiği açıklanmıştır. Bununla birlikte, ilgili hukuki çerçeveler incelenmiş ve çevrim içi davranışsal reklamın farklı yönleri tartışılmıştır. Çalışmanın uygulama bölümünde, çevrim içi tüketicinin bu reklama ilişkin düşüncelerini ortaya koymak ve genel durumu belirleyebilmek için öncelikle nicel analiz tercih edilmiştir. Ardından genel içinden elde edilen özel çıkarımlarla karşılaştırma yapabilmek, nicel bulguları açıklamak ve çevrim içi tüketicinin düşüncelerini anlayabilmek için nitel analiz tercih edilerek karma yöntem kullanılmıştır. Uygulanan karma yöntem ile tüketicilerin çevrim içi davranışsal reklama dair teknik, hukuki ve kişisel kullanıma ait bilgi düzeylerinin düşük olduğu; ancak bu reklamın internetteki tercihlerine dayalı olarak geldiğinin farkında oldukları ve çeşitli tereddütleri olmasına rağmen bu reklamları kullandıkları ve satın alma davranışı gerçekleştirdikleri sonucuna varılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda nicel bulgular ile nitel bulguların birbirini desteklediği görülmektedir.
DUBAI PHENOMENON OF SMART URBAN DEVELOPMENT: ANOTHER WORLD OR AN EXAMPLE FOR IMPLEMENTATION?
Authors: Gukalova Iryna Volodymyrivna
Published: June 2020

The aim of this study is to analyze the content of “smart” city concept in its close relationship with different models of urban development, with an emphasis on the practice of their implementation in Dubai, and the conclusions that are relevant to the dissemination of best practice experience in municipal management of this metropolis.

Methods. The study is based on a combination of general scientific and geographical methods (descriptive, content analysis, comparative geographic method etc.) with a view to implementing a theoretical discourse on sustainable urban development that introduces smart technologies. A "case-study" approach with the characteristics of the Dubai phenomenon on the background of comparison with other countries has been used.

Results. It is substantiated that balanced urban development aimed to improving the quality of life of the population and efficient use of resources through the use of new technologies and the establishment of integrated service delivery systems should be considered as a “smart” urban development. It is determined that Dubai to some extent can be an example for implementation in other cities in the world, including Ukraine, because the “smartness” in its development now means balancing between different planning models and mechanisms of urban development and their simultaneous integration.

The scientific novelty of the article is to identify significant trends in the development of the city of Dubai in the context of several modern models and to define the accompanying problems and benefits that could be taken into account in other countries.

Practical significance. The materials of the publication and its conclusions can be used in the organization of next research of the best world practices of the urban organization, for educational purposes in the teaching of courses in geourbanistics.

Authors: Plehkanovska Alla Myxajlivna
Published: June 2020

Goal. The article presents the author's method for differentiating the territory of the city according to its historical and architectural potential, in order to determine the most investment-attractive sites for the placement of tourist infrastructure objects.

Method. Historical, grapho-analytical methods of research, methods of mathematical modeling and method of expert evaluation were used. Using the historical method, the presence of cultural heritage objects within the settlement is established and a historical and architectural support plan is developed. With the help of the grapho-analytical method and mathematical modeling, a qualimetric assessment of the quality of the placement of cultural heritage objects in the planning structure of the city is determined. Taking into account their importance, obtained on the basis of expert evaluation, the historical and architectural potential of the city’s territories and their investment attractiveness for locating various functional objects, in particular, tourist infrastructure objects, is determined.

Results. A new method of qualitative and quantitative assessment of the historical and architectural potential of the territory of a small historical city has been developed.

Scientific novelty. A new grapho-analytical method has been developed for the qualimetric assessment of the territory of a historical settlement according to its historical and architectural potential, taking into account the spatial localization and significance of cultural heritage sites. A generalized quantitative assessment of the historical settlement on the nature of the placement of cultural heritage in its planning structure is proposed.

Practical significance. The application of the method will allow for the establishment of the most investment-attractive territories of the historical city in order to develop a system of tourist infrastructure facilities, reconstruction and new construction of objects of various functional purposes. Testing is performed on the example of the city of Tulchin, Vinnitsa region, Ukraine.

Endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi, pankreatikobiliyer drenajda ilk tercih edilen yöntemdir. Ancak lüminal obstrüksiyonu ya da cerrahi ile anatomisi değiştirilmiş olan hastalarda endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi işlemi zor ve hatta bazen imkansız olabilir. Endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi işlemi mümkün olmayan hastalarda en yaygın kullanılan yöntem olan perkütan transhepatik biliyer drenaj, yüksek advers olaylar ile ilişkilidir. Bu nedenle, biliyer drenajı sağlamak için daha az invaziv olan alternatif yöntemlere ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Son iki dekatta, perkütan transhepatik biliyer yöntemine alternatif olarak bazı deneyimli merkezlerde uygulanan endoskopik ultrasonografi eşliğinde biliyer drenaj daha az advers olaylar ile ilişkilidir. Bu yazıda, pankreas başı kanserinin duodenum duvarına ve papillaya invazyonu nedeniyle endoskopik retrograd kolanjiyopankreatografi yapılamayan bir olguda endoskopik ultrasonografi eşliğinde gerçekleştirilen biliyer drenaj uygulanmasını sunuyoruz.
Effects of Green Technology on Firm’s Profitability and Solvency: Exhibit from the Textiles Industry of Bangladesh
Authors: Uddin Nazim , Miah Musa
Published: June 2020

In recent years there has been increasing advocacy regarding the perception that turning green is good for the corporation and thus for the whole economy. Green technology is nowadays a popular term in any industry but the stakeholders always ask a question of whether the company benefits from using green technology or is there any financial gain? This question remains unanswered in our country, and because of that new entities are not willing to adopt green technology especially in the textile sector. This paper shows that the companies using green technology having financial benefits than the companies not using green technology. In this paper, we used financial performance measurement techniques to find out companies' financial health. This study has taken data of 43 listed companies of Dhaka Stock Exchange. Then it divides the data into two groups, a group accustomed to green technology and a group not accustomed to green technology. Firstly, we used profitability ratios (ROS, ROA, ROE) to find out two groups of companies' position. Profitability ratios vary significantly from one group to another. Secondly, we used solvency ratios (Debt asset ratio and debt-equity ratio) and find result almost similar but the result changes with the passages of time through the payment of installment. So from the study, it can be said that profitability is positively related to the adoption of green technology. Thus, by studying this paper company will be keen to adopt green technology in their organization. This paper will also help existing companies to improve the existing technology.
The Feasibility of Creating and Sustaining Charter Schools in the Rural United States
Authors: Hall McAllister
Published: June 2020

Many parents in rural areas desire to make a choice for their child to have an
education different from what the local TPS can provide, but the choice is not
available (McCarthy, 2016, Bagley, Woods, & Glatter, 2001). Communities play
a large role in the success of both TPSs and charter schools, especially in rural
areas (Johnson & Howley, 2015, Stuit & Doan, 2012). In many cases, community
characteristics impact student performance as much as the school characteristics
(Bodine et al., 2008, Reeves, 2012). The research presented in this study acts as a
feasibility study of the potential for rural communities across the U.S. to create
and sustain charter schools, given their financial characteristics. This research
adds to the national conversation of school choice by determining the accessibility
and plausibility of U.S. students across the country, including those in rural areas,
to have increased access to school choice options.
Do You Feel Me?
Authors: McNeill David
Published: June 2020

In working towards accomplishing a human-level acquisition and understanding of language,
a robot must meet two requirements: the ability to learn words from interactions with its
physical environment, and the ability to learn language from people in settings for language
use, such as spoken dialogue. The second requirement poses a problem: If a robot is capable of
asking a human teacher well-formed questions, it will lead the teacher to provide responses
that are too advanced for a robot, which requires simple inputs and feedback to build word-level comprehension.

In a live interactive study, we tested the hypothesis that emotional displays are a viable solution
to this problem of how to communicate without relying on language the robot doesn't--indeed, cannot--actually know.
Emotional displays can relate the robot's state of understanding to its human teacher, and are developmentally
appropriate for the most common language acquisition setting: an adult interacting with a child. For our study,
we programmed a robot to independently explore the world and elicit relevant word references and feedback from
the participants who are confronted with two robot settings: a setting in which the robot displays emotions,
and a second setting where the robot focuses on the task without displaying emotions, which also tests if
emotional displays lead a participant to make incorrect assumptions regarding the robot's understanding.
Analyzing the results from the surveys and the Grounded Semantics classifiers, we discovered that the use
of emotional displays increases the number of inputs provided to the robot, an effect that's modulated by
the ratio of positive to negative emotions that were displayed.
Opportunities and Obstacles in the Transition to a Distributed Network of Rooftop Solar
Authors: Hall Steve M.
Published: June 2020

This paper investigates the feasibility and viability of providing power to Ada County, Idaho,
using a distributed network of rooftop solar photovoltaic panels. Using a multi-disciplinary and
multi-method modeling approach, a detailed simulation is performed where existing structures are
retro-fitted with grid-tied solar photovoltaic systems using currently available technology. Feasibility
is determined using simulated supply and demand per building, while viability is determined through
standard financial metrics used in the energy sector. A major critique of solar energy comes from the
vast amounts of space required to efficiently capture solar power, along with the inefficiencies
created by transmission loss and intermittency. Under a system where structures become both producers
and consumers of energy, with PV panels deployed in unused rooftop space, this paper mitigates those
critiques and analyzes the results. Four case scenarios are discussed based on the perspectives of
differing energy stakeholders; consumers, private firms, public utilities, and national governments.
Joint Modeling of a Longitudinal Measurement and Parametric Survival Data with Application to Primary Biliary Cirrhosis Study
Authors: Dil Elif , Karasoy Duru
Published: June 2020

Although longitudinal and survival data are collected in the same study, they are usually analyzed separately. Measurement errors and missing data problems arise because of separate analysis of these two data. Therefore, joint model should be used instead of separate analysis. The standard joint model frequently used in the literature is obtained by combining the linear mixed effect model of longitudinal data and Cox regression model with survival data. Nevertheless, to use the Cox regression model for survival data, the assumption of proportional hazards must be provided. Parametric survival sub-models should be used instead of the Cox regression model for the survival sub-model of the JM where the assumption is not provided. In this article, parametric joint modeling of longitudinal data and survival data that do not provide the assumption of proportional hazards are investigated. For the survival data, the model with Exponential, Weibull, Log-normal, Log-logistic, and Gamma accelerated failure time models and the linear mixed effect model are combined with random effects and the models were applied in primary biliary cirrhosis data set obtained from Mayo Clinic. After determining the best parametric joint model according to Akaike and Bayesian information criterions, the best available model was compared with standard joint model and of separate analysis of survival data and longitudinal data. As a results, in the studies where longitudinal and survival data are obtained together, it is seen that the parametric joint model gives more better results than the standard joint model when the proportional hazard assumption is not provided.

The Effects of Social Media and Hashtag Activism on Enhancing Student Voice to Create Institutional Curriculum Changes
Authors: Nguyen Michelle
Published: June 2020

College-aged students are often at the forefront of social movements. Students are commonly the people who use their voices to fight for changes at the institutions of higher education that they are attending. Various social media outlets, specifically Twitter, have allowed these students to organize social protests online through hashtag activism. Hashtag activism allows individuals to connect to other individuals protesting for a similar cause through a common hashtagged word or phrase. I have been an undergraduate student at Texas Christian University (TCU) for the past four years, and I have seen the ways in which hashtag activism has laid the foundation for institutional changes, particularly in the curriculum, to be made. In this thesis, I examine how students who participated in the hashtag movements #BeingMinorityAtTCU and/or #DearTCU were able to show the TCU administration glimpses of their personal stories through the public venue of social media, creating a pressure that led TCU administration, faculty, and staff to shift the core curriculum to include a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) overlay. This overlay requires students to take a DEI-focused course that will encourage conversations about identity and how to be a leader in this diverse country and world that we live in.
Using Forensic Anthropology to Investigate Mass Graves: Comparative Case Studies from Rwanda and Guatemala
Authors: VanBaarle Alexis L. , 2021 Class of
Published: June 2020

Excavation of mass graves can help in the aftermath of genocides by providing closure for surviving families and aiding in successful prosecution of criminals. In this article, I compare the methods used to investigate mass graves from cases in Rwanda and Guatemala. Anthropologists in Guatemala used excavations to provide closure for families who suffered through a 36-year governmental assault on the indigenous Mayan people. In contrast, Rwanda’s genocide on ethnic Tutsi compelled the UN to form an investigative team to use evidence collected to prosecute those whomthey deemed to have committed crimes against humanity. Comparing these two cases exemplifies how purpose affects exhumation, analysis, and resources; for example, Guatemalan investigators worked extensively with local peoples throughout investigations, while Rwandan investigators only used families to obtain legally defensible positive identificationIDs. In addition, Iwilladdress some of the issues with excavation of mass graves,including resource deficits, DNA analysis, and commingled remains.
Elaborating the Mechanism of Cell Killing of a Novel Chemotheraputic Drug Targeting Breast Cancer
Authors: Do Phat
Published: June 2020

Breast cancer (BC) is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in women in the world. In 2018, there were more than 2 million new diagnosis. It is estimated that1 in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. Traditional treatments of BC include surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy therapy; however, these treatments are non-specific and potentially kill peripheral, healthy cells. More specific treatments are needed, most notably to target a unique feature of the cancer cells. Interestingly, 70% of BC cells upregulate estradiol-dependent pathway, a characteristic essential for rapid cell growth. Current BC drugs, such as Tamoxifen, Faslodex, or Femarahave targeted this pathway to preferentially kill BC cells. However, the problems with these drugs are two-fold. (1) Drugs produce considerable side effects. For example, Femera causes considerable musculoskeletal failures. Tamoxifen is also shown to produce secondary cancer growth, such as endometrial cancer. (2) Breast cancer cells resist drugs very quickly. For instance, one third of women who are treated with Tamoxifen for five years relapse within fifteen years. The resulting tumor then become resistant to Tamoxifen treatment. For these two reasons, there is a need for new chemotherapeutic drugs. Our research group studies a novel estrogen-receptor targeting drug: Estradiol-R-Melex. This compound has the estradiol molecule linked to a DNA alkylating agent, Melex. We connected the two moieties using a linker consisting of various lengths, i.e., one, two, and three methyl groups. The linker length variation is to optimize the cell killing property of our small drug molecule. We hypothesize that Est-n-Melex enters the ER positive cancer cells more rapidly than ER-normal cells.
The Financial Impact of Medical Malpractice Claims After the Affordable Care Act on the Property & Casualty Insurance Industry
Authors: Pedersen Kelli
Published: June 2020

In 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law with various provisions taking effect over the following years, specifically the individual mandate in 2014. This reform drastically impacted the entire insurance industry, not simply health insurance. Many prior studies, however, focused only on how ACA impacted health insurance. Early estimates indicated that health insurers might transfer costs to property and casualty insurers, which would significantly impact the profitability of these companies. Despite the association of medical malpractice with healthcare, property and casualty insurers actually write the policies for medical malpractice incidents. Therefore, I chose to exclusively examine how the Affordable Care Act impacts the practices of property and casualty insurers that write medical malpractice policies. My study worked to answer three questions: (i) the change in the number of medical malpractice reports, especially in Medicaid expansion states, (ii) the change in the dollar amount of these claims, and (iii) the impact to the industry’s net income. Using statistical tests and regressions based on sample data of the number of medical malpractice reports and the inflation-adjusted dollar amounts of these claims in each of the 50 states from 2003 to 2018, healthcare consumption expenditures, and the number of individuals with health insurance, I concluded that the number of malpractice reports has increased and the dollar amount of claims has decreased since the enactment of the Affordable Care Act. However, only a portion of these changes can be attributed to the Affordable Care Act, as the additional number of people insured played a small role in the variations of the medical malpractice environment; rather, healthcare consumption expenditures substantially altered the medical malpractice statistics. Ultimately, I concluded that the changes that occurred in the medical malpractice claims after the passage and enactment of the Affordable Care Act had very little impact on the profitability of the property and casualty insurance industry.

Published: June 2020

The purpose of this study was to analyze the educational quality framework based on the sematic study in QS. Al Ma'un's and its implementation in learning in the fourth grade of SD STKIP Muhammadiyah Bangka Belitung. This research used descriptive qualitative research methods. The primary data sources of this research were Al Ma'un Surah Al-Qur'an, headmaster, teachers and 4th-grade students of SD STKIP Muhammadiyah Bangka Belitung, while secondary data sources were in the form of relevant research results and documentation. Data collection techniques used content analysis techniques, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis techniques were reducing data, displaying data, making conclusions and verification. The results obtained in this study: 1) QS. Al Ma'un with 7 verses contains the true meaning of religious deceiver and deceit the day of retribution. Their main characters are arbitrary to orphans and do not want to help the poor.
