Authors: Masithoh Rudiati Evi , Chrysta Maynanda Brigita , Deviana Sabila Avinda
Published: November 2019

High demand of rice can be minimized by promoting cassava as an alternative carbohydrate source. One method to process cassava to ease consumption and to prolong its shelf-life is by making it into analog rice, namely cassava rice. Two drying methods were studied to obtain the physicochemical information of cassava rice. This research aimed at determining color and chemical properties, i.e. water content, ash, lipid, protein, carbohydrate, starch, amylose, amylopectin, and mineral contents of cassava rice processed by roasting and sun-drying. It also compared physicochemical characteristics of cassava rice and paddy rice to get better understanding of nutritional values of cassava rice. Results showed that physical, chemical, and mineral contents of cassava rice were different from paddy rice. Cassava rice had lower water, protein, Zn and P2O5 contents than paddy rice. Roasted cassava rice was darker than cassava rice. Sun-dried and roasted cassava rice showed no different values in terms of lipid, carbohydrate, starch, amylose, amylopectin, Mg, Zn and P2O5 contents, while other characteristics were similar.

Published: November 2019

Rice-field rat (Rattus argentiventer) is a rodent that has a high level of productivity. These animals attack rice plants from the vegetative to the generative phase. This research aimed to analyze and to predict the accuracy of the use of owls with mathematical equations model in Kebokura and Lebeng villages, Sumpiuh district. Lotka - Volterra and Competitive Lotka-Volterra models were used to predict the population dynamics of Owl (predator) and rice-field rats (prey), then Runge - Kutta numerical method was applied to analyze the population dynamics of predator and prey at a certain time. The results of the analyses using the Lotka – Volterra, Competitive Lotka - Volterra equations and simulation data, each graph data showed that the rats’ population was able to be maximally suppressed. Based on the analysis result, started with 24 owls and 1,689 rats, the rats’ population could be suppressed to 104 using Lotka – Volterra, and to 176 using the Competitive Lotka – Volterra model. Then in the first and second simulation, started with 50 and 100 owls and 1,689 rats, analysis using Lotka – Volterra and Competitive Lotka – Volterra showed that the rat population could be suppressed to as much as 126, 188 and 145, 189, respectively. Based on the analysis, it could be concluded that use of Serak Jawa owl strategy was able to reduce and stabilize the rat populations. Furthermore, the higher population of owls can prevent the population explosion of rats and can suppress the rat population to a lower number.
Economic Factors behind Social Entrepreneurship in Bangladesh

Published: November 2019

Bangladesh has pool of entrepreneurs whereas there are also new establishments; new employment opportunities and so are the income sources. For the better measurement of entrepreneurship characteristics, the growth and different indicators impact on entrepreneurship needs to be identified. Thus this paper tries to find out the key economic indicators of entrepreneurship in the context of Bangladesh. The research is based on secondary research; has used entrepreneurship as a dependent variable proxied by self-employment and seven independent variables—per capita income, unemployment rate, labor force, industrial structure change, capital, human capital and literacy rate. Two regression models have been used encompassing the stated variable data from year 2008 to 2018. In the first regression analysis it has been tried to identify whether the model can be constructed with the overall economic variables with the self employment. At second regression model it has been tried to find out whether there is the explain ability of the variables result in the regression analysis and what is the degree and pattern of the relationship. The research shows that literacy rate and human capital have aligned with the self employment. But all the other variables are not matched with the self employment and could not provide the support for self employment to thrive. And the linear regression analysis shows that per capita income, labor force and literacy rate play the most important role in case of nourishing self employment. Unemployment rate is found as contradictory with the findings in the context of Bangladesh.

On the possibility of evaluating the tectonic fault activity at the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant by sample radon measurements during environmental impact assessment
Authors: Sedin Vladimir L. , Ulyanov Vasiliy U.
Published: November 2019

Introduction. This paper sets out to justify the application of an innovative methodology for determining the rate of the tectonic fault activity of a rocky base using complex radon measurements under the conditions of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), Turkey. Materials and methods. The information contained in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) chapters and sections relevant to both the site tectonics and methods for measuring radon in soil and groundwater was scrutinised. In addition, the experience of analogues studies in the Republic of Turkey was studied. Results. An analysis of experimental results enabled identification of individual subsoil areas of increased radon activity across the site under investigation. Additional comprehensive studies at the NPP site are recommended in combination with planned work aimed at clarifying the engineering and geological conditions regarding specific NPP buildings and structures (ED stage). Conclusions. The proposed additional studies are expected to provide a more comprehensive seismic protection of the NPP units under construction, thus enabling a long-term trouble-free operation of the completed NPP buildings and structures. In the framework of subsoil monitoring at the Akkuyu NPP, regulations on the application of the proposed methodology should be introduced in job descriptions. This technique appears to be prospective for seismic monitoring in other NPP sites located in areas with increased seismicity.
Mathematical model of landslide stable equilibrium
Authors: Simonyan Vladimir V. , Kochiev Alexey A.
Published: November 2019

Introduction. A definition of landslide stability condition is given for any sliding surfaces, density, mass, volume, slope, i.e., in general. As a result of mathematical analysis, equilibrium equations in coordinates are obtained. When violating any of these conditions, the landslide movement begins. The problem is in the way of obtaining real parameter values entering the equations. The mechanical and mathematical model of a landslide having an arbitrary sliding surface is the subject of the study. The aim is determining a time of landslide movement beginning and central issues in the task of landslide prediction. Materials and methods. A standard rectangular coordinate system with the origin at the vertex of the landslide body surface was chosen. A derivation of the equation of the landslide body equilibrium in coordinates was given through the equation of surface in general, through the normal friction force vector in components of the coordinate axes and the traction force vector in components of the coordinate axes. Results. The conditions of landslide stability were obtained. The most critical problems were identified. The solution to these problems can lead to the development of theoretical and practical methods for predicting landslide processes, which is very important for solving the problems of ensuring the safety of buildings and structures located on the slope areas. Conclusions. It is necessary to set the real values of all the parameters, to identify the shape of the sliding surface, to determine the real parameters of the landslide body, and correctly position the rectangular coordinate system. The most close approach to solving these problems is possible in case of applying the methods of integrated approach to the analysis of landslide slope area stability, which includes an engineering and geological method (a method of obtaining objective information about the physical and mechanical characteristics of soils on landslide areas of the investigated slope) and an engineering and geodetic method (a method of obtaining objective information about the terrain, area and slope).

Environmental risks from automobile transport in a metropolis
Authors: Knyazev Dmitry K.
Published: November 2019

Introduction. The paper considers environment-protective measures from automobile transport within the framework of city ecologization from the perspectives of ecological risks for urban environment and health of the local population. The purpose of the article is to develop a detection method of high-priority protective and sanitary measures oriented to the minimization of possible harm.

Materials and methods. The author used statistical data, geographical and thematic maps, transport network planning features and also made field observations. The applied methods include correlation analysis, automated simulation, algorithms of calculation of the influencing processes/phenomena distribution on the territory.

Results. A GIS software was used to simulate factor and integrated schemes of pollution priority urban territories adjacent to main roads. The schemes allowed assessing the number of people who are potentially subject to a risk of development/exacerbation of environmental pathologies. Increased (higher than natural background value) content of heavy metals was recorded on the sites adjacent to main roads in connection with more intensive traffic of large-capacity transport. The influence of automobile transport on the health of the population was found. An author’s method was formulated for the ecological classification of territories with various levels of automobile transport impact and detection of high-priority protective and sanitary measures.

Conclusions. The research has estimated an exhaust-gases polluted area of urban territories adjacent to main roads as 40 to 190 m from the driveway. An area of increased sound pressure was recorded at 30 to 100 m from it. A correlation of pollutant concentration in the soil on traffic of large-capacity vehicles was identified. A set of statistically reliable relations (r > 0.3) between the levels of influence and ecology-dependent violations of the local population’s health was established. At the same time, there are some cases when separate age groups suffering the most considerable harm because of a specific factor. The author’s method was formulated to structure automobile transport factors by the levels of danger and to define priorities in the implementation of high-priority protective and sanitary measures. The article has proposed the conceptual ways of development of the urban territories adjacent to main roads.
Reengineering of capital construction objects and reengineering of technological processes
Authors: Sborshikov Sergey B. , Maslova Lubov A.
Published: November 2019

Introduction. The article discusses two types of corporate-level reengineering of investment and construction activities: the qualitative transformation of capital construction projects (CCP) and technological processes. The implementation of the reengineering measures in respect of the CCP is studied as a dominant. All the mutual relations and interactions of anthropotechnical system elements and external environment are assembled around the CCP. The CCP is considered as the expression of the achieved result. Materials and methods. The study used legislative and normative documents regulating investment and construction activities in the Russian Federation as well as papers of domestic and foreign scientists. The examined normative and methodological materials allowed identifying criteria and factors of classification of reengineering measures at the level of “building project – building site” and on this basis establishing the composition of the reengineering of a CCP and reengineering of technological processes. Results. The article examines the normative component of the practical activity of the reengineering. It provides the following terms regulated by the current legislative base of construction: reconstruction, major repair, technical re-equipment, restoration. Separately, the definition of CCP reprofiling is suggested. Structural and functional relations within CCP and technological processes reengineering are studied. Conclusions. The research has demonstrated that the reengineering is an efficient mechanism of formation of a comfortable living environment based on achievements of science and technology, record and complete satisfaction of consumers’ demands, as well as the creation of competitive advantages for not only domestic construction establishments but also the whole national construction industry. All this made it possible to determine the genesis of the corporate level reengineering of investment and construction activities and to establish a structure of the CCP reengineering. In conclusion, the article presented the main directions for improving the efficiency of the reengineering mechanism. The role of information and analytical activity organization quality in this system of the measures is specially marked.
Service innovation and mental health: The multilevel moderating role of group emotional contagion
Authors: Xiao Zhi-Ming , Lee Meng-Hsiu , Wang Hsiao-Chiao
Published: November 2019

From the perspective of social information processing theory, we investigated the multilevel mediating effect of surface acting in the relationship between service innovation and frontline employees’ mental health, then further tested the multilevel moderating roles of positive
and negative group emotional contagion. We used the experience sampling method to conduct a survey with 572 employees of 71 hospitality and catering companies in China. Hierarchical linear modeling results showed that service innovation negatively affected participants’ mental health
via surface acting. Further, positive group emotional contagion positively moderated the relationship between surface acting and mental health. Thus, positive group emotional contagion alleviated the negative influence of surface acting on mental health. The moderating role of negative group
emotional contagion was, however, nonsignificant. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed and recommendations for future research are made.

Authors: Yu Kuo-Ting , Lu Hsi-Peng , Chin Chih-Yu , Jhou Yu-Shiuan
Published: November 2019

Content created by the movie industry is high-risk, as production costs and marketing budgets are massive but box office results can be volatile. We examined the effect of online word-of-mouth on consumers’ motivation and intention to watch movies. The proposed model was tested
in a survey with 337 consumers using a structural equation modeling approach. The results showed that movie reviews by professional movie media writers had a substantial positive impact on consumers’ intrinsic motivation for presenting themselves, via transmitting their values and expressing
personal favor by watching movies. Popular media also had a positive influence on the intrinsic motivation of perceived enjoyment, and social media had the broadest influence on consumers’ intrinsic motivation. Thus, movie makers and marketers should focus on the critical platform of
online word-ofmouth to enhance consumers’ motivation to watch movies.
Life satisfaction of Korean older adults: The roles of chronological and subjective age and appearance management
Authors: Chung Myung-Sun
Published: November 2019

I addressed previous contradictory findings that people aged 65 and over (vs. younger age groups) have lower life satisfaction, in contrast to the well-being paradox in older age, whereby there is an increase in life satisfaction among people in this age group. Thus, I investigated
the effects of age and appearance management on the life satisfaction of 364 Koreans aged 65 years and over, who completed a survey in which they gave their age (chronological and subjective), and responded to items on appearance management, life satisfaction, and demographic characteristics.
Results of my preliminary analysis showed that economic status, age, and appearance management were related to life satisfaction. However, multiple regression analysis results showed that only subjective age and appearance management significantly explained overall satisfaction with life.
A practical implication of the results is that perceptions of people aged 65 and over, including their subjective rather than chronological age, and behavior, such as appearance management, should be managed together by mental health services.
Focus–target fit effect: Exploring the mechanism of construal level variation in decision making
Authors: Liu Jing , Wu Lin
Published: November 2019

We used the concept of focus–target fit (FTF) and nonfit states to examine a possible link between individuals’ regulatory focus type and decision target, which may influence their construal level and result in different decision-making strategies. In Experiment 1, we speculated
that a participant’s construal level in an FTF (vs. nonfit) state would be comparatively lower. The FTF effect phenomenon was found, as expected. In Experiments 2 and 3 we included affective state as another factor for further examination of the combined influence over participants’
construal level. We observed that the influence of the FTF effect was covered up by that of the affective state. Our findings have filled the theoretical gap between self-regulation and information processing level, and offer an in-depth explanation of how individuals’ affect influences
their method of decision making.
What makes a brand citizen in the restaurant industry?
Authors: Xiang Ling , Yang Yi-Chun
Published: November 2019

We proposed a framework comprising the 3 dimensions of formal ownership practices (profit sharing, participation in decision making, and access to business information) that influence brand psychological ownership, thereby facilitating brand citizenship behavior. Data were collected
from 342 frontline employees in restaurants in Taiwan. The results of structural equation modeling analysis showed that the 3 dimensions of formal ownership practices were all strong predictors of brand psychological ownership, which enhanced brand citizenship behavior. Also, brand psychological
ownership was an effective mediator in the relationship between formal ownership practices and brand citizenship behavior. If employees are to demonstrate positive brand behavior, that is, brand citizenship behavior, it is necessary for organizations to generate employees’ positive brand
awareness, that is, brand psychological ownership, which plays a cross-level intermediary role between corporate management and brand citizenship behavior.
Choosing an equitable or efficient option: A distribution dilemma
Authors: Huang Long , Lei Wansheng , Xu Fuming , Yu Liang , Shi Fujun
Published: November 2019

We conducted a 3 × 3 × 2 experiment to verify the moral preference hypothesis and extend the boundary conditions of the moral frame effect. Participants played a trade-off game (TOG), in which they unilaterally choose between an equitable or efficient option. We manipulated
the labeling of the options to describe the equitable versus efficient option as morally right, and controlled the amount of the stakes and division schemes in the TOG. We found there was a significant effect of moral frame when stakes were low in the TOG, and participants would choose a morally
right option whether it was equitable or efficient. However, the effect of moral frame was nonsignificant when the stakes were high. In addition, the division schemes in the TOG had a great impact on the moral frame effect. Therefore, we found that when participants’ interest in the
options remains the same or the changes are small, and other players’ interest changes greatly, the moral frame effect is not significant.
Understanding different motivational mechanisms for downward, lateral, and upward knowledge transfer
Authors: Kang Minhyung , Kim Byoungsoo
Published: November 2019

We applied the theory of planned behavior to examine the relative effects of expected reciprocity, self-efficacy, and subjective norms as antecedents enhancing employees’ downward, lateral, and upward knowledge transfer. Structural equation modeling with partial least squares
analysis was used to examine the hypothesized relationships with data gathered through a social network survey from 385 employees in research and development groups in South Korea. Results indicated that self-efficacy was the strongest antecedent of downward knowledge transfer. In lateral
knowledge transfer, expected reciprocity showed a significant negative effect. Last, upward knowledge transfer was mainly influenced by self-efficacy and subjective norms. However, subjective norms were positively related to upward knowledge transfer, whereas the relationship between self-efficacy
and upward knowledge transfer was negative. These results support the usefulness of the relational approach in understanding the different motivational mechanisms for each of the types of knowledge transfer.

Introduction

This study investigates the influence of age at first use of alcohol on current alcohol use and associated behaviours in a large sample of Canadian youth.

Methods

This descriptive-analytical study was conducted among Ontario Grade 12 students enrolled in the COMPASS Host Study between 2012 and 2017. We used generalized estimating equations (GEE) modelling to determine associations between age at first alcohol use and likelihood of current versus non-current alcohol use, binge drinking and mixing of alcohol with energy drinks among respondents.

Results

Students reporting an age at first alcohol use between ages 13 and 14 years were more likely to report current alcohol use versus non-current use (OR = 2.80, 95% CI: 2.26–3.45) and current binge drinking versus non-current binge drinking (OR = 3.22, 95% CI: 2.45–4.25) compared to students reporting first alcohol use at age 18 years or older. Students who started drinking at 8 years of age or younger were more likely to report current versus non-current alcohol use (OR = 3.54, 95% CI: 2.83–4.43), binge drinking (OR = 3.99, 95% CI: 2.97–5.37), and mixing of alcohol with energy drinks (OR = 2.26, 95% CI: 1.23–4.14), compared to students who started drinking at 18 years or older.

Conclusion

Starting to drink alcohol in the early teen years predicted current alcohol use, current binge drinking and mixing of alcohol with energy drinks when students were in Grade 12. Findings indicate a need for development of novel alcohol prevention efforts.
Aperçu - Tendances en matière de cancer au Canada, 1984-2015

L’étude des tendances portant sur l’incidence de tous les types de cancers confondus effectuée afin de comprendre les tendances en matière de cancer peut donner lieu à des conclusions erronées, car ces tendances sont variables selon le type de cancer. Cet article présente les résultats concernant les tendances tirées des Statistiques canadiennes sur le cancer 2019 en utilisant la variation annuelle en pourcentage (VAP) des taux d’incidence normalisés selon l’âge. Parmi les résultats, notons une hausse récente du taux d’incidence du cancer de la glande thyroïde chez les hommes (VAP : 6,4 %, 1997-2015) ainsi qu’une diminution des taux d’incidence du cancer de la prostate (VAP : −9,1 %, 2011-2015) et du cancer du col de l’utérus (VAP : −3,3 %, 2010-2015).

RESUMEN. Impacto del ozono troposférico sobre la anatomía foliar de Abies pinsapo Boiss. I: Estudio de la distribución de daños. Con el fin de elaborar unos criterios unificados para la evaluación del impacto del ozono troposférico y compararlos con la respuesta de las poblaciones naturales de Sierra Bermeja y Sierra de las Nieves, se han reproducido en cámaras Open Top, ambientes filtrados y enriquecidos con ozono para realizar una caracterización microscópica del daño que produce el ozono troposférico sobre Abies pinsapo Boiss. Los resultados demuestran que pese a que la morfología foliar permanece inalterada tras someter durante un mes en condiciones de 30 ppb durante 8 horas al día, a nivel tisular se han producido daños de consideración que afectan de este endemismo.Palabras clave. Anatomía, Abies pinsapo, ozono, cámaras Open Top.ABSTRACT. Tropospheric ozone injury on the foliar anatomy of Abies pinsapo Boiss. I: Study of damage distribution. With the aim of develop unified criteria to evaluate the tropospheric ozone injury and compare with responses in Abies pinsapo Boiss. in natural populations in Sierra Bermeja and Sierra de las Nieves, it has been reproduced in Open Top Chambers conditions of filtered air and addition of controlled amounts of ozone. Results show that despite leaf morphology remains unaltered after a treatment with 30 ppb 8 hours per day, at tissue level there have been injuries that affect this endemism.Key words.
