Understanding Firm Performance on Green Sustainable Practices through Managers’ Ascribed Responsibility and Waste Management: Green Self-Efficacy as Moderator
Authors: Guo Lingjun , Xu Yi , Liu Guangfu , Wang Tao
Published: September 2019

Firms’ performance in sustainable development has caused increasing concerns. A key issue is that the environmental characteristics of business managers may be an important driver to promote the sustainable practice of enterprises. This study explores the relationship between ascribed responsibility of managers and green sustainable practice of enterprises by introducing the waste management as mediation variable and green self-efficacy as a moderating variable. A survey was conducted in manufacturing enterprises from the Yangtze River Delta in China in 2019, where 149 valid questionnaires were collected out of 200 surveyed enterprises. Subsequently, the data were analyzed through an analytic hierarchy process. The results show that: (1) ascribed responsibility of managers has a positive impact on green sustainable practices (β = 0.428, p < 0.001), and waste management plays a full mediating role during this process (β = 0.428, p < 0.001); (2) managers' green self-efficacy strengthens the positive impact of waste management on sustainable practices (β = 0.284, p < 0.05); (3) green self-efficacy has positively moderated the indirect effect of managers' ascribed responsibility for sustainable practice through waste management. The research enriches the theories on sustainable practice of enterprises from the perspective of managers’ environmental characteristics and provides insights for enterprises to promote sustainable development practice.

Active filter design is a mature topic that provides good solutions that can be implemented using discrete devices or integrated circuit technology. For instance, when the filter topologies are implemented using commercially available operational amplifiers (opamps), one can explore varying circuit parameters to tune the central frequency or enhance the quality (Q) factor. We show the addition of a feedback loop in the signal flow graph of a biquadratic filter topology, which enhances Q and highlights that a sensitivity analysis can be performed to identify which circuit elements influence central frequency, Q, or both. In this manner, we show the opamp-based implementation of a biquadratic bandpass filter, in which Q is enhanced through performing a sensitivity analysis for each circuit element. Equations for the central frequency and Q are provided to observe that there is not a direct parameter that enhances them, but we show that from sensitivity analysis one can identify the circuit elements that better enhance Q-factor.

Published: September 2019

In the age of digitalization, the collection and analysis of large amounts of data is becoming increasingly important for enterprises to improve their businesses and processes, such as the introduction of new services or the realization of resource-efficient production. Enterprises concentrate strongly on the integration, analysis and processing of their data. Unfortunately, the majority of data analysis focuses on structured and semi-structured data, although unstructured data such as text documents or images account for the largest share of all available enterprise data. One reason for this is that most of this data is not machine-readable and requires dedicated analysis methods, such as natural language processing for analyzing textual documents or object recognition for recognizing objects in images. Especially in the latter case, the analysis methods depend strongly on the application. However, there are also data formats, such as PDF documents, which are not machine-readable and consist of many different document elements such as tables, figures or text sections. Although the analysis of PDF documents is a major challenge, they are used in all enterprises and contain various information that may contribute to analysis use cases. In order to enable their efficient retrievability and analysis, it is necessary to identify the different types of document elements so that we are able to process them with tailor-made approaches. In this paper, we propose a system that forms the basis for structuring unstructured PDF documents, so that the identified document elements can subsequently be retrieved and analyzed with tailor-made approaches. Due to the high diversity of possible document elements and analysis methods, this paper focuses on the automatic identification and extraction of data visualizations, algorithms, other diagram-like objects and tables from a mixed document body. For that, we present two different approaches. The first approach uses methods from the area of deep learning and rule-based image processing whereas the second approach is purely based on deep learning. To train our neural networks, we manually annotated a large corpus of PDF documents with our own annotation tool, of which both are being published together with this paper. The results of our extraction pipeline show that we are able to automatically extract graphical items with a precision of 0.73 and a recall of 0.8. For tables, we reach a precision of 0.78 and a recall of 0.94.
African Horse Sickness: A Review of Current Understanding and Vaccine Development
Authors: Dennis Susan J , Meyers Ann E , Hitzeroth Inga I , Rybicki Edward P
Published: September 2019

African horse sickness is a devastating disease that causes great suffering and many fatalities amongst horses in sub-Saharan Africa. It is caused by nine different serotypes of the orbivirus African horse sickness virus (AHSV) and it is spread by Culicoid midges. The disease has significant economic consequences for the equine industry both in southern Africa and increasingly further afield as the geographic distribution of the midge vector broadens with global warming and climate change. Live attenuated vaccines (LAV) have been used with relative success for many decades but carry the risk of reversion to virulence and/or genetic re-assortment between outbreak and vaccine strains. Furthermore, the vaccines lack DIVA capacity, the ability to distinguish between vaccine-induced immunity and that induced by natural infection. These concerns have motivated interest in the development of new, more favourable recombinant vaccines that utilize viral vectors or are based on reverse genetics or virus-like particle technologies. This review summarizes the current understanding of AHSV structure and the viral replication cycle and also evaluates existing and potential vaccine strategies that may be applied to prevent or control the disease.

Published: September 2019

Many studies have investigated the influence of hydropower stations on macroinvertebrate communities, but few have clarified the influence of different types of hydropower stations. A total of 133 samples obtained from seven rivers, on which 45 hydropower stations are located, with the rivers distributed across four provinces (Yunnan, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Hubei) were investigated to study the influence of different types of small hydropower stations on macroinvertebrate communities. Samples were collected during 2011–2012. Results showed that 126 taxa of macroinvertebrates were collected, of which 68.3% were insects. The average macroinvertebrate density and biomass were 966 ± 112 ind/m2 and 17.31 ± 1.54 g/m2, respectively. For dam-type hydropower stations, the intercepting effect of the dam was the main factor affecting macroinvertebrate populations, whereas the influence of hydrological period was nonsignificant. Macroinvertebrate taxa richness exhibited a gradual increase from reservoir reaches to down-dam reaches and then to natural reaches (4.4, 6.5, and 9.5, respectively). The Shannon–Wiener index showed a similar increasing trend (1.06, 1.48, and 1.58, respectively), whereas biomass levels exhibited a decreasing trend (56.3, 25.2, and 6.0 g/m2, respectively). For the diversion-type hydropower stations, hydrological period was the main influential factor, whereas the intercepting effect of the dam was nonsignificant. From wet to dry seasons, increases were observed in macroinvertebrate abundance (5.2 to 8.3), density (322.2 to 1170.5 ind/m2), biomass (24.6 to 40.1 g/m2), and Shannon–Wiener index (1.23 to 2.08).
Application of Ultraviolet Light-Emitting Diodes (UV-LED) to Full-Scale Drinking-Water Disinfection
Authors: Jarvis Peter , Autin Olivier , Goslan Emma H. , Hassard Francis
Published: September 2019

Ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) have recently emerged as a viable technology for water disinfection. However, the performance of the technology in full-scale drinking-water treatment systems remains poorly characterised. Furthermore, current UV disinfection standards and protocols have been developed specifically for conventional mercury UV systems and so do not necessarily provide an accurate indication of UV-LED disinfection performance. Hence, this study aimed to test the hypothesis that a full-scale UV-LED reactor can match the Cryptosporidium inactivation efficiency of conventional mercury UV reactors. Male-specific bacteriophage (MS2) was used as the Cryptosporidium spp. surrogate microorganism. The time-based inactivation efficiency of the full-scale reactor was firstly compared to that of a bench-scale (batch-type) UV-LED reactor. This was then related to mercury UV reactors by comparing the fluence-based efficiency of the bench-scale reactor to the USEPA 90% prediction interval range of expected MS2 inactivation using mercury UV lamps. The results showed that the full-scale UV-LED reactor was at least as effective as conventional mercury UV reactors at the water-quality and drive-current conditions considered. Nevertheless, comparisons between the bench- and full-scale UV-LED reactors indicated that improvements in the hydraulic flow profile and power output of the full-scale reactor could help to further improve the efficiency of UV-LED reactors for municipal drinking water disinfection. This represents the world’s first full-scale UV-LED reactor that can be applied at municipal water treatment works for disinfection of pathogenic microorganisms from drinking water.
Case Study: Model Test on the Effects of Grade Control Datum Drop on the Upstream Bed Morphology in Shiting River

Published: September 2019

This paper conducted an undistorted scaled model test (geometric scale λL = 1:80; the others are derived scales based on Froude similitude) of a 1.3 km-long river reach in Shiting River, China, investigating the impacts of the grade control datum (GCD, defined as the crest elevation of the grade control structure) drop on the upstream bed morphology. Three GCDs and six flood events (occurrence probability 1–50%, discharge = 600–4039 m3/s) were tested on the model. Experimental results indicate that, for a constant GCD, the increase in discharge deepens and widens the upstream river bed. For a lower GCD, the increase in channel depth and width caused by the increasing discharge is greater. For each discharge, the decrease in GCD induces a lower and steeper upstream river bed, widening the upstream main channel. For lower discharge, the GCD drop induces a head cut erosion area upstream of the grade control structure and the head cut erosion area is filled by the upstream sediment when the flow discharge is high. Experimental data also indicate that the maximum general scour depth at the 105th Provincial Highway Bridge is approximately independent of discharge for a constant GCD. For a lower GCD, the general scour depth at the 105th Provincial Highway Bridge increases slightly with discharge.
A Consideration on Maximum Efficiency of Resonant Circuit of Inductive Power Transfer System with Soft-Switching Operation
Authors: Ota Ryosuke , Sudarmo Nugroho Dannisworo , Hoshi Nobukazu
Published: September 2019

By using bi-directional inductive power transfer (IPT) systems as battery chargers for electric vehicles (EVs), battery charging operations become convenient and safe. However, IPT systems have problems such as occurrences of much electromagnetic noise and power loss because the converters of IPT systems are driven in high frequency by tens of kHz. To solve these problems, there is a case where the soft-switching technique needs to be applied to the converters of IPT systems. However, in soft-switching operation, the power factor of the resonant circuit becomes lower, resulting in a lower resonant circuit efficiency. In previous works, when the soft-switching technique was applied to the converters, the resonant circuit had not always been able to be operated with high efficiency because the influence caused by soft-switching operation had not been considered. For this reason, there was a case where the efficiency of the overall system with soft-switching operation became lower than the efficiency in hard-switching operation. Therefore, in this paper, the influence on the efficiency of the resonant circuit caused by the soft-switching operation is clarified by the theoretical analysis and experiments; then, the guideline for improving the efficiency of IPT systems is shown. As a result, in the experiments, it could be understood that the efficiency of the overall system with soft-switching operation becomes higher than the efficiency in hard-switching operation when the operating point of the resonant circuit was close to the requirement guideline, which is shown by using the primary-side voltage and the secondary-side voltage of the resonant circuit. Therefore, it is suggested that the efficiency of IPT systems could be improved by properly regulating the primary-side direct current (DC) voltage.

Published: September 2019

Over the last few decades, molecular markers have been extensively used to study phylogeny, population dynamics, and genome mapping in insects and other taxa. Phylogenetic methods using DNA markers are inexpensive, fast and simple to use, and may help greatly to resolve phylogenetic
relationships in groups with problematic taxonomy. However, different markers have various levels of phylogenetic resolution, and it's important to choose the right set of molecular markers for a studied taxonomy level. Acrididae is the most diverse family of grasshoppers. Many attempts to
resolve the phylogenetic relationships within it did not result in a clear picture, partially because of the limited number of molecular markers used. We have tested a phylogenetic resolution of three sets of the most commonly utilized mitochondrial molecular markers available for Acrididae
sequences in the database: (i) complete protein-coding mitochondrial sequences, (ii) concatenated mitochondrial genes COI, COII, and Cytb, and (iii) concatenated mitochondrial genes COI and COII. We then complemented the analysis by testing the nuclear ITS2 region. Adequate phylogenetic resolution
of Acrididae subfamilies can be achieved using three (COI, COII, and Cytb) or more mitochondrial markers. Moreover, we found the ITS2 and concatenated COI/COII markers to be the least informative, providing a poor resolution. All the studied acridids fall into three well-supported phylogenetic
groups that include 13 subfamilies. Acridinae, Gomphocerinae, Oedipodinae, and Catantopinae are shown to be polyphyletic, while the remaining subfamilies are in accordance with current Acrididae systematics. Our study provides a basis for more comprehensive phylogenetic analyses of Acrididae
on the subfamily and lower levels.
The Claytonia arctica Complex in Alaska—Analyzing a Beringian Taxonomic Puzzle Using Taxonomic Concepts
Authors: Ickert-Bond Stefanie M. , Murray David , Oliver Margaret G. , Berrios Hazel K. , Webb Campbell O.
Published: September 2019

Trans-Beringia taxa often present complex puzzles for taxonomists, a reflection of differing traditions and opinions, taxonomic approaches, and access to material from both sides of the Bering Strait. There is wide biological variation in perceived or circumscribed taxa whose populations are widespread within the regions and yet biogeographically isolated in Asia and/or America. The Claytonia arctica complex is one such example; it illustrates these issues well and has been dealt with by North American and Russian botanists in decidedly different ways. We reviewed specimens and examined the various taxonomic concepts of C. arctica through time and source publications. The relationships (alignments) among taxonomic concepts are presented in a graphical format. We found that much of the confusion related to C. arctica in Beringia stems from overlookingC. scammaniana Hultén sensu Hultén (1939), and placing too much emphasis on the woody caudex and perennation structures, during the creation of two taxonomic concepts: C. arctica Adams sensu Porsild and C. porsildii Jurtzev sensu Yurtsev. The C. arctica complex (in our current sense) is an evolutionary work in progress, resulting in partially differentiated races with much overlapping variability and intergradation of characters (particularly in C. scammaniana according to our current sense) that have not reached the level of stability (i.e., individuals may still intergrade freely) usually associated with the concept of species in other arctic lineages.

The Impact of Two Different Styles of Excursions During a Short-Term Undergraduate Study Abroad Experience
Authors: Tanoos Jim
Published: September 2019

Traditional Study Abroad (SA) programs offered by universities have a profound impact on the cultural awareness and adaptability of students who participate in these experiences. However, recently increased opportunities to engage in short-term SA experiences have prompted shifts in the planning and structuring of these trips to achieve the most impact on student development. SA’s are particularly valuable for Americans due to the relative lack of global traveling by American students compared to students from other countries. Not coincidentally, the likelihood of an American failing in a future expatriate assignment is also comparatively high versus additional nationalities, although millennial Americans are more likely than any other group to receive such a position. This makes prior intercultural experiences through activities such as SAs all the more important to this generation of Americans as a steppingstone to their careers. This study will analyze the impact of two different styles and structures of trip tours and excursions on American SA students during a short-term experience.

kalkınma uğruna doğa tahribatının gelecek kuşakların refahını tehlikeye attığı fark
edilmiş ve çevre - ekonomi ilişkisi sorgulanmaya başlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada 103
orta ve üst gelirli ülkenin değişkenleri kullanılarak tarım - çevresel kalite,
GSYİH (gayri safi yurtiçi hasıla) - çevresel kalite ilişkilerinin 2012 yılı
itibariyle sorgulanması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmadaki ilişkilerin tahmin
edilmesinde kullanılan yöntem yapısal eşitlik modellemesidir. GSYİH, bu örneklem seti için çevresel kaliteyi anlamlı bir şekilde
yordamamıştır. Ayrıca ekonomi içinde tarım sektörünün ağırlığının çevresel
kalite üzerindeki etkisi negatif yönlü olarak hesaplanmıştır. Çevre ekonomi
ilişkileri ağırlıklı olarak boylamsal veri ile yürütülmektedir, bu çalışma yatay
kesit verisi ile yürütülmüş olup bu açıdan literatüre özgün katkı sağlayacağı
düşünülmektedir.
SOSYAL SERMAYENİN KURUMSAL, KAYNAK BAĞIMLILIĞI VE İŞLEM MALİYETİ KURAMLARI CEPHESİNDEN ALGILANIŞI
Authors: ŞEN Cem , MERT İbrahim Sani
Published: September 2019

Bu çalışmanın amacı, sosyal ağlar yardımı ile
sosyal sermaye oluşturma çabalarının ilişki kurma ve geliştirme maksadıyla
gerçekleştirildiğini, kurulan ilişkilerin temelinde meşruiyet kazanma, kıt
kaynaklara erişim, bilgiye ve teknolojik yeniliklere erişim ve paylaşım ve
işlem maliyetlerinin minimize edilmesi gibi amaçların yattığını kuramsal olarak
ortaya koymaktır. Birey ve toplulukların birbirleri ile olan bağlantılarını (ağ
yapılanmalarını/kimi tanıdığınızı) ve bu bağlantılar sayesinde kaynaklara
erişimlerini vurgulayan sosyal ağ kuramı kapsamındaki sosyal sermayeye olan ilgi
gün geçtikçe artmaktadır. Özellikle de konunun esasının kurumsal kuram, kaynak
bağımlılığı kuramı ve doğal sonucu olan güç mücadelesi ile işlem maliyet
kuramıyla olan şaşırtıcı ilişkisi ve bütünleşmeler dikkat çekmektedir. Sonuç
olarak, sosyal ağların hangi amaçlarla kurulmak istendiği kavramsal olarak
ortaya konulmakta ve kuramsal öneriler sunulmaktadır.
TARİHİ YAPILARIN YENİDEN İŞLEVLENDİRİLMESİ: TRABZON MİMARLAR ODASI ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: KURAK AÇICI Funda , KONAKOĞLU Zeynep Nilsun
Published: September 2019

Tarihi
yapılar; bir toplumun kültürü, mimarisi, sanatı, gelenek ve göreneği, yaşayış
biçimi kısacası geçmişe dair tüm birikimleri hakkında bilgi veren önemli eserlerdir.
Fakat günümüzdeki hızlı kentleşme ve nüfus artışıyla birlikte çoğu tarihi yapı
zarar görerek yok olma tehlikesi ile karşılaşmaktadır. Bu rekabetten kurtulabilen
tarihi yapılar ya restorasyona uğramakta ya korunmakta ya da eski kullanımının
dışında farklı bir işlevle günümüzde hizmet vermektedirler. Yeniden
işlevlendirilen yapılar günümüz yaşantısına katılmaya çalışılmaktadırlar. Geçmişten
günümüze birçok medeniyete ev sahipliği yapmış olan Trabzon kenti, kültür ve
tarih açısından önemli pek çok tarihi yapıya sahip olmaktadır. Bu yapılardan
biri olan Trabzon Mimarlar Odası binası mimarisi ve konumu bakımından önemli
olmakla birlikte yapıldığı dönemden günümüze ulaşana kadar farklı işlevlerde
hizmet vermiştir. 1996 yılında restorasyona uğrayan ve yeniden işlevlendirilen
tarihi bina, eski işlevi olan lojman yerine mimarlar odası kafe ve restoran
olarak kullanılmaya başlamıştır. Çalışmada, yeniden kullanımda yeni işlev ve
işlevin gereksinimleri arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu
kapsamda Mimarlar Odası yerinde gözlem, çizimler ve fotoğraflar ışığında
değerlendirilmiştir. Mekân kullanıcılarıyla yapılan yüz yüze görüşmeler ile yapılış
amacı dışında günümüz işleviyle varlığını devam ettiren yapının; mekânsal
performansının, çevre ve kullanıcılar arasındaki uyumunun ortaya koyulması
amaçlanmaktadır.
SANAYİLEŞME VE İSTİHDAM ÜZERİNE KALDOR ve PREBİSCH KARŞITLIĞI: TÜRKİYE EKONOMİSİ ÜZERİNE BİR UYGULAMA
Authors: TEKGÜL Yelda
Published: September 2019

Bu
çalışma, sanayileşmenin, gayri safi yurtiçi hasıla, istihdam ve işgücünün
ortalama verimliliğinde yaratacağı etkileri, Kaldor ve Prebisch’in iki farklı bakış
açısından ampirik bir analizle değerlendirmeye çalışmaktadır. Bu çerçevede
tartışmalar “ithal ikameci” ve “liberal” sistem farklılığını da içerecek
biçimde; büyüme ve ortalama işgücü verimliliğinin istihdama etkilerine
odaklanmaktadır. Bu amaçla Türkiye ekonomisi için 1930-1979 yıllarını kapsayan
göreli “kapalı” dönem ve 1980-2017 yıllarını kapsayan “liberal” dönem ayrımı
yapılarak bu teorilerin geçerliliği incelenmiştir. Kaldor, büyüme ve
verimliliğin istihdam üzerine yaratacağı etkiyi pozitif görürken, Prebisch bu etkileri sırasıyla pozitif ve negatif olarak değerlendirmektedir.  ARDL sınır testi kullanılarak yaptığımız
analiz sonucu iki alt dönemde de imalat sanayiinde çıktıdaki bir artış ile
istihdam arasında pozitif; işgücü verimliliğindeki artış ile istihdam arasında
negatif bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Bu çerçevede incelenen her iki dönemde de
Prebisch’in görüşlerinin Türkiye Ekonomisi için geçerli olduğu bulgusu elde
edilmiştir.

Published: September 2019

The objective of this study is to identify both micro and macroeconomic variables that allow us to analyze in advance the probabilities of business failure. The selected sample contains all the listed companies of the IPC index of Mexico, IBEX-35 of Spain and EURO STOXX50 of Europe for a time horizon of 5 years. Our contribution lies in the empirical testing of the results by two different techniques: general estimating equations (a parametric technique) and a decision tree (a non-parametric technique based on artificial intelligence). The obtained results show that the factors of liquidity, indebtedness and profitability are the ones that affect the prediction of corporatebankruptcy for listed companies, but not the macroeconomic ones, since the macroeconomic peculiarities of each country are diluted by the importance of the economic-financial structure of each company.

GIS-modeling and mapping for sustainable development of mountain regions
Authors: Gunya Alexey , Kolbovsky Evgenii , Gairabekov Umar
Published: September 2019

The elaboration of the sustainable regional development concepts for mountain areas requires special attention to the specifics of the formation and existence of society in the areas of the surrounding landscape. The close connection between natural conditions, inherited unique types of environmental management and rooted forms of self-government in the mountains continues to be maintained even under the pressure of global modernization. Therefore, any efforts undertaken in the direction of general and sectoral types of planning should be based on a preliminary study and modeling of the essence of the relationship between nature and the society of mountains. It seems appropriate to identify the following basic properties of mountainous areas, which, on the one hand, are crucial for the sustainable development of regions, on the other hand, can be characterized using GIS modeling and mapping: 1) GIS-modeling of the «highlands features» of the region and the specifics of mountain landscapes, in particular the delimitation of the boundaries of high-altitude belts (the lower boundary of the mountain region, the upper ecotone’s boundaries between the tree vegetation and alpine meadows, etc.); 2) reflection of the polystructural and fractal properties of natural (landscapes, watersheds) and socio-cultural (cultural landscapes, groups of settlements, areals of subethnoses) entities; 3) assessment of the capacity and resistance (tolerance) of mountain natural and inherited cultural landscapes, identification of different risks and limitations of economic growth and development; 4) analysis of the mountain landscapes dynamics, both spatial, manifested in the transformation of altitudinal belts and shifts of the boundaries of ecotones, and “chronostructural” expressed in changes of typical seasonal and multiyear conditions; 5) selection of adequate parameters to characterize the specifics of mountain areas in the “mountain—plain” dichotomy. Therefore, GIS-modeling based on “big data” and allowing, on the one hand, to update our understanding of the landscapes of the North Caucasus, their state and modern dynamics, on the other hand, to describe a reliable picture of economic management, and first of all—the true mosaic of land use and resource distribution. The representation of trends in the average annual dynamics of landscapes will allow to correctly assess the potential and resistance of natural landscapes, as well as the state and availability of rehabilitation for abandoned cultural landscapes in the high belt of mountains. The integration of such parameters can be carried out within the framework of various matrices of operational-territorial units, the most important of which is the matrix of river watersheds, which allows to directly record changes in the material-energy flows that control the functioning of mountain landscapes. The example of the Chechen Republic illustrates the possibilities of GIS-modelling and mapping in solving problems of sustainable development.
