Authors: Sartori Riboldi Luciara , Rigo Marinês Pérsigo Morais
Published: November 2019

O uso de plantas medicinais pela população é um hábito muito comum repassado de geração em geração entre as famílias desde à antiguidade, porém algumas plantas se usadas de forma incorreta podem causar interações medicamentosas, reações adversas e efeitos toxicológicos no organismo. Desta forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as interações entre plantas medicinais e medicamentos no município de Capitão/RS. Para isso, foi aplicado um questionário sobre plantas medicinais e medicamentos, com perguntas objetivas e descritivas à usuários que frequentam o Posto de Saúde da cidade de Capitão. A pesquisa contou com 50 participantes de ambos os sexos, onde a predominância foi do sexo feminino, a idade média dos entrevistados foi entre 61 a 70 anos, sendo a maioria aposentados e com ensino fundamental incompleto. No geral, quase todos disseram utilizar plantas medicinais, que este hábito foi repassado pela família e que normalmente são cultivadas no quintal de casa. As plantas mais citadas foram camomila (Matricaria recutita), marcela (Achyrocline satureioides), capim-limão (Cymbopogon citratus), boldo (Plectranthus barbatus), funcho (Foeniculum vulgare), malva (Malva sylvestris), laranjeira (Citrus sinensis), poejo (Mentha pulegium) e losna (Artemisia absinthium). A forma de preparo mais utilizada foi a infusão e as partes mais usadas foram as folhas. Os medicamentos mais citados foram os que agem no sistema cardiovascular, seguido dos medicamentos que atuam no aparelho digestivo, betabloqueadores, antidepressivos, anti-hipertensivos e diuréticos. Em relação às interações encontradas, várias plantas medicinais podem provocar interações ou alterar a absorção dos fármacos, como a camomila (Matricaria recutita) que possui interação com anticoagulantes, fazendo com que aumentem as chances de hemorragias, assim como o capim-limão (Cymbopogon citratus) que interage com medicamentos sedativos, podendo aumentar seus efeitos. O fato da população achar que o que é natural não faz mal, deve ser visto com maior atenção pelos profissionais da área de saúde em relação ao uso de medicamentos associados às plantas medicinais, visando garantir maior segurança, diminuindo as interações e contribuindo para uma melhor qualidade de vida.

Published: November 2019

Apesar da comprovada eficiência dos produtos químicos sintéticos, a agricultura moderna tem buscado formas alternativas para o tratamento de sementes e o controle de doenças, que visam uma maior preservação ambiental. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o uso de extratos e óleos essenciais de diferentes plantas no tratamento de sementes de arroz quanto a sua qualidade fisiológica. Foram usados extratos concentrados, de folhas de citronela, rizoma de gengibre, bulbo de alho e cravo-da-índia. Também foram avaliadas a combinação binária dos mesmos. Utilizou-se óleos essenciais de neem, citronela, melissa, cidreira e pimenta-longa e a combinação binária dos mesmos a 5.000ppm sobre a qualidade fisiológica. Os óleos essenciais e extratos foram aplicados diretamente nas sementes, sendo 2 mL para 100 g de sementes. Os parâmetros avaliados foram: primeira contagem de germinação (Ger1), germinação (Ger), emergência em solo (EM), índice de velocidade de emergência (IVE), massa aérea seca (MAS), massa seca radicular (MSR), comprimento plântulas aérea (CPA) e comprimento plântulas radicular (CPR). Os resultados sugerem que o tratamento com extratos não interferiu na qualidade fisiológica da semente de arroz, e que os melhores resultados foram observados para os extratos de alho e citronela e nas combinações alho-cravo-da-índia, alho-gengibre e alho-citronela. Entretanto, com exceção do óleo essencial de neen, os demais inibiram o desenvolvimento das sementes de arroz. Conclui-se que o desempenho fisiológico das sementes de arroz tratadas com extratos obteve qualidade igual ou superior a testemunha. E que os tratamentos com óleos essenciais inibiram o desenvolvimento das sementes, com exceção do óleo de neem.
Two interacting non-elliptical rigid harmonic inclusions loaded by couples
Authors: Wang Xu , Schiavone Peter
Published: November 2019

We use conformal mapping techniques to design two interacting non-elliptical rigid inclusions, each of which is loaded by a couple, which ensure the so-called ?harmonic condition? in which the original mean stress in the matrix remains undisturbed after the introduction of the inclusions. We show that for prescribed Poisson?s ratio and corresponding geometric parameters, several restrictions are necessary on the external loadings to ensure the harmonic condition. It is seen from our analysis that: (i) the interfacial and hoop stresses are uniformly distributed along each of the inclusion-matrix interfaces; (ii) the interfacial normal and hoop stresses along the two interfaces are completely determined by the Poisson?s ratio and the constant mean stress in the matrix whilst the interfacial tangential stress along the two interfaces can be completely determined by the moments of the couples and the areas of the two inclusions; (iii) the existence of the applied couples will influence the non-elliptical shapes of the two rigid harmonic inclusions when the moment to area ratios for the two inclusions differ.

Implementasi Hukum Islam di Indonesia dalam Perspektif Siyasah Syar’iyah
Authors: Maswir Maswir
Published: November 2019

AbstractIslamic law is an inseparable part of Islamic teachings, Islamic law is the solution in all life. Because of all the rules that come from God, the purpose is for the benefit of all the people of Russia. However, in its implementation there are still many problems that arise because of the application of Islamic law itself cannot be applied as a whole. Meanwhile, Muslims are scattered in various parts of the world that are not all in the form of an Islamic state. Of course this raises a big problem, because on the one hand of Islam commands that Muslims implement Islamic law in kaphah, on the other hand there are Islamic teachings that cannot be implemented without the involvement of state institutions.AbstrakHukum Islam merupakan bagian yang tak terpisahkan dari ajaran Islam, Hukum Islam merupakan solusi dalam segala kehidupan. Dikarenakan segala aturan yang berasal dari Allah swt tujuannya adalah untuk kemaslahatan seluruh umat amnusia. Akan tetapi dalam implementasinya masih banyak menimbulkan persoalan disebakan penerapan hukum Islam itu sendiri belum bisa diterapkan secara menyeluruh. Sementara itu, umat Islam tersebar di berbagai penjuru dunia yang tidak semua dalam bentuk negara Islam. Tentu saja hal ini menimbulkan persoalan besar, karena pada satu sisi Islam memerintahkan agar umat Islam melaksanakan syariat Islam secara kâffah, di sisi lain ada ajaran-ajaran Islam yang tidak dapat dilaksanakan tanpa keterlibatan institusi negara.
MAUSU'AH WA MAFHUMUL HADIS BAN RIBA TRANSACTIONS IN MUSNAD AHMAD
Authors: Nurhadi Nurhadi
Published: November 2019

AbstractIslam is a comprehensive religion that encapsulates all human life including economic activities. This era of modern and sophisticated times, the phenomenon of the development of existing business activities must be vigilant, so as not to fall prey to usury. Then what about the hadith in Ahmad's musnad relating to usury ?. The results of the author's research in the book mausu'ah al-hadis al-Nabawiyah, from the hadith perspective in the book Musnad Ahmad. Then found 6 traditions related to usury property. The hadith is No. Hadith 803 in the Book: Musnad of ten companions guaranteed to enter heaven, Chapter: Musnad Ali bin Abu Talib Radliyallahu 'anhu. Hadith No. 1222 in the Book: Musnad of ten companions who are guaranteed to enter heaven, Chapter: Musnad Ali bin Abu Talib Radliyallahu 'anhu. Hadith No. 1294 in the Book: Musnad of ten companions guaranteed to enter heaven, Chapter: Musnad Ali bin Abu Talib Radliyallahu 'anhu. Hadith No. 3539 in the Book: Musnad companions who have narrated many hadith, Chapter: Musnad Abdullah bin Mas'ud Radliyallahu ta'ala 'anhu. Hadith No. 3567 in the Book: Musnad friends who have narrated many hadith, Chapter: Musnad Abdullah bin Mas'ud Radliyallahu ta'ala 'anhu. Hadith No. 13744 in Ahmad Musnad, it will appear in the Book: Remaining Musnad companions who have narrated many hadith, Chapter: Musnad Jabir bin Abdullah Radliallahu ta'ala 'anhu. So from the hadith it can be drawn the understanding that Allah cursed the eaters of usury, the person who gave food with usury, the witness of the usury contract and the person who wrote it. Even though a lot of usury will eventually be a little.    Abstrak Studi ini membahas tentang kerjasama perusahaan go-jek dengan driver perspektif fikih ekonomi.

Self Diagnostics and Isolation Mechanisms for Mixed Criticality Systems
Authors: Tellabi Asmaa , Ruland Christoph , Waedt Karl , Sabri Abdelbast
Published: November 2019

Virtualization is a technology that is frequently employed in computers and servers to provide isolation for execution environments, and to support the execution of multiple Operating Systems (OS) on the same hardware platform. In the embedded systems´ world, virtualization has been a rising trend, essentially because it offers an isolation mechanism that provides hardware manufacturer´ independence and it avoids obsolescence issues. The isolation mechanism supports safety and security measures, and assists in the certification of safety-critical systems. Virtualization offers improved performances, better transparency, portability and interoperability by integrating hardware and software resources, and also networking services into one computing entity. It makes the integration process of Mixed Criticality Systems (MCS) easier. For industries, FieldProgrammable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) hardware solutions provide the needed level of flexibility and performance. In this paper, a Self-test application is integrated in the hardware and also in the software level. The importance of self-test applications for Instrumentation and Control (I&C) systems will be discussed in the context of virtualization. For this implementation a type 1 hypervisor called Xtratum is used. An analysis of inter-partition communication channels´ performance will be provided including the implications multicore approaches will have on communication. The novelty of this work is to study the isolation impact multicore approaches can have on inter-partitions communications in Xtratum. Another novel aspect is the implementation of a self-test application in the hypervisor and the board as well.

Published: November 2019

Teaching in an era dominated by millennials represents a challenging task for educators in Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs). One distinct feature in teaching millennials is the advancement in digital learning which has improved learning styles in higher education. Besides face-to-face interactions with the instructors, the blended learning approach has been introduced in many courses to cater to the needs of millennial learners. This study aims to provide an insight into on students’ acceptance and satisfaction towards the use of Learning Management System (LMS) in a blended learning environment. An online survey was administered to 167 respondents. The majority of the respondents are below 22 years of age and first-year students who are fresh and new to the blended learning concept. This study measured factors like technology experience, computer anxiety, service quality, system quality, information quality, course quality, and instructor to determine the students’ overall satisfaction. The model was analysed using the partial-least-squares structural modelling approach. The result shows that service quality, instructor quality, and course quality are among the critical factors towards students’ acceptance and satisfaction. Therefore, to ensure LMS’s effectiveness and students’ satisfaction, decision-makers at the higher institution should consider these factors before implementing a blended learning initiative via LMS as the platform.

The Relationship Between the Models of Sport Commitment and Self-Determination among Adolescent Athletes
Authors: Berki Tamás , Piko Bettina F. , Page Randy M.
Published: November 2019

This study examined the relationship between the Sport Commitment Model and the Self-Determination Theory. The participants were 214 adolescent athletes who completed the Hungarian version of the Sport Commitment Questionnaire-2 and the Hungarian version of the Sport Motivation Scale. Several commitment sources predicted SMS scores as well. Amotivation was predicted by the obligatory reason for commitment such as Personal Investment-Loss and Other Priorities. External Regulation was predicted by Social factors of commitment. Introjected Regulation was determined by Desire to Excel-Mastery and Personal Investment-Loss. Identified Regulation was explained by Desire to Excel-Mastery, Valuable Opportunities, and Personal Investment-Loss. Integrated Regulation was explained with Valuable Opportunities, Desire to Excel-Mastery, Personal Investment-Loss and Social Support-Informal. The Intrinsic Motivation subscale was significantly predicted by Desire to Excel-Mastery, Personal Investment-Loss, Sport Enjoyment and Social Support-Informal. As we see the types of commitment showed a clear association with SMS, however the commitment sources showed a complex relationship with self-determination, thus it is hard to separate them on the Self-determination continuum.

Published: November 2019

The start and the turn are factors that influence performance in different swimming disciplines. The aim of this study was to find out the relationship of selected time parameters of the start and the turn with sport performance of 100 m and 1 500 m freestyle finalists in the Olympic Games 2016. Monitored parameters of the start were the start reaction, time under water after the start, and time at a distance of 15 m after the start. The monitored parameters of the turn were the time of 5 m before the turn, the duration of the turn, the time under water after the turn, and time reached at a distance of 15 m after the turn. There was any significant correlation of the resulting time to 1 500 m and the observed start indicators. The significant correlation of the resulting time to 1 500 m and the observed turn indicators was time 5 m before the turn r = 0.952 (p = 0.000); the duration of the turn r = 0.830 (p = 0.011); time at a distance of 15 m after the turn r = 0.886 (p = 0.003). The significant correlation of the resulting time to 100 m and the observed start indicators was time under water after the start r = −0.714 (p = 0.047). The significant correlation of the resulting time to 100 m and the observed turn indicators was the duration of the turn was r = 0.905 (p = 0.002). The results point out the existing relations between 100 m freestyle and time under water after start and duration of the turn. And for 1 500 m existing relations with time 5 m before the turn, the duration of the turn and time at a distance of 15 m after the turn. Therefore, our recommendations for sports practice include development of speed, power and coordination skills with technical execution of the start and the turn into regular swimming training.
Effects of military basic training on VO2max, body composition, muscle strength and neural responses in conscripts of different aerobic condition
Authors: Salo Kristiina , Piirainen Jarmo M. , Tanskanen-Tervo Minna M. , Kyröläinen Heikki , Huovinen Jukka , Linnamo Vesa
Published: November 2019

Study aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate neuromuscular adaptations in conscripts with different fitness levels (VO2max) during 8 weeks of military basic training (BT).

Material and methods: Twenty-four male conscripts (18–21 years) were divided into two groups (Good Fitness [GF] and Low fitness [LF]) based on their VO2max at the beginning of BT. Body mass (BM), fat free mass (FFM) and Fat% were measured after 2, 4, and 7 weeks of training. VO2max, maximal isometric leg press force (MVC), H-reflex (Hmax/Mmax) at rest and V-wave (V/Mmax) during maximal isometric plantarflexion were measured from the soleus muscle at the beginning, after 5, and after 8 weeks of training.

Results: FFM decreased significantly in LF after 7 weeks of training (–3.0 ± 1.7%, p < 0.001), which was not observed in GF. Both GF (6.9 ± 4.6%, p < 0.01) and LF (5.7 ± 4.6%, p < 0.01) showed improved VO2max after 5 weeks, with no changes during the last 3 weeks. A main effect of training was observed in decreased leg press MVC (–7.3 ± 9.3%, F = 4.899, p < 0.05), with no between-group differences. V-wave was significantly lower in LF during 5 (–37.9%, p < 0.05) and 8 (–44.9%, p < 0.05) weeks.

Conclusion: Poor development of the neuromuscular system during BT suggests that explosive and/or maximal strength training should be added to the BT protocol for all conscripts regardless of fitness level. In addition, individualized training periodization should be considered to optimize the training load.
Tendency to Use the Virtual Fitting Room in Generation Y - Results of Qualitative Study
Authors: Moroz Miroslaw
Published: November 2019

E-commerce is growing rapidly on a global scale. Among many products purchased via the Internet, clothing is the first in terms of purchase frequency. However, there are growth barriers for this product category, which include, first of all, the client’s fear of matching clothing to their own figure or complexion. This results in a high percentage of returns reaching up to 60% of transactions, which is more than that in other e-commerce sectors. One of the possible solutions to the abovementioned problem is the use of a virtual fitting room (VFR), which allows you to try on clothes in terms of size, fit, style, or color on a computer or smartphone screen. The main purpose of the article is to determine the propensity to use a VFR in the age group of generation Y. The second goal is to compare the propensity to use by type of VFR: 2D vs. 3D. The methodology is based on the qualitative exploratory approach. To conduct research, content analysis and sentiment analysis were used. The results of the study indicate that the participants of the research have an ambivalent attitude towards VFR – on the one hand, they perceive VFRs as an interesting solution for Internet users (not only generation Y). On the other hand, however, they themselves show a distance to use the VFR. The analysis also showed that a two-dimensional type of VFR based on augmented reality technology has greater market opportunities.
On Dryopteris site type forests in Estonia
Authors: Paal Jaanus , Jürjendal Iti
Published: November 2019

Fern-rich forest communities are presented in Estonia in mesic or moderately humid nutrient-rich habitats, in areas of drained mire forests, on floodplains and lower parts of talus slopes of the North-Estonian limestone escarpment (klint). In the recent official forest typology only one site type has been distinguished and labelled by the ferns: the Dryopteris site type in the scope of boreo-nemoral forests. The aims of the current study were (i) to clarify whether distinguishing between two fern-rich forest site types, one among the full-drained forests group and another in the boreo-nemoral forests group, is reasonable, and if so, then (ii) what the main characteristics of both considered forest site types are, (iii) what the main environmental factors determining the structure of these communities are, and (iv) what the mutual relationship between those forests and other fern-rich forest communities is. Our results asserted a distinct difference between the full-drained and undrained Dryopteris site type forests distinguished by the former scholars. The undrained boreo-nemoral fern-rich stands have developed in the same place in harmony with habitat conditions, while drained forests have significantly changed. It seems that despite some vagueness due to long-lasting post-drainage succession, it is nevertheless justified to recognise the fern-rich drained stands in Estonian forest typology as representing an autonomous forest site type in the group of full-drained forests. To avoid confusion in nomenclature, in the future, the undrained fern-rich boreo-nemoral forests site type could be named according to the most conspicuous indicator species as the Athyrium (filix-femina) site type and fern-rich stands on full-drained peat soils as the Dryopteris (expansa) site type.
GIS-based habitat model to predict potential areas for the upcoming occurrences of an alien invasive plant, Mimosa pigra L.
Authors: Le Thai Son , Thoa Pham Thi Kim , Tuan Nguyen Van
Published: November 2019

Incursions of Mimosa pigra L., a super-invasive plant, were detected in Hoa Vang district, Da Nang city, Vietnam. This invasive species posed threats to the local agricultural and natural areas, especially to Ba Na - Nui Chua Nature Reserve located in the district. In this study, a habitat model was developed to predict potential areas for the upcoming occurrences of the plant. Detected locations of the species were analyzed in association with seven environmental layers (15 m spatial resolution), which characterized the habitat conditions facilitating the plant incursion, to calculate a multivariate statistic, Mahalanobis distance (D2
). Mimosa occurrences were divided into subsets of modelling (for model construction) and validating data (for selecting the best model from replicate runs). The model performance was tested using a null model of 1,000 random points and indicated a significant relationship between D2
values and mimosa occurrence. The D2
model performed markedly better than the random model. The null model in combination with the entire dataset of mimosa locations was also used to identify the threshold D2
value. Using that threshold value, 99.5% of existing mimosa locations were detected and 20.3% of the study area was determined as high-risk areas for mimosa occurrence. These identified high risk areas would make an important contribution to the local alien invasive species management. Given the potential threats to these species from illegal harvesting, that information may serve as an important benchmark for future habitat and population assessments. The spatial modelling techniques in this study can easily be applied to other species and areas.
Natural regeneration in Siberian fir (Abies sibirica Ledeb.) forests subjected to invasion of the four-eyed fir bark beetle (Polygraphus proximus Blandf.)
Authors: Debkov Nikita
Published: November 2019

This study assessed the potential of natural regeneration (NR) of forests in Western Siberia, dominated by Siberian fir (Abies sibirica Ledeb.) and damaged due to the invasion of the four-eyed fir bark beetle (Polygraphus proximus Blandf.). The leading methods for investigating this problem are the sample plot method and the transect method, which allow revealing the features of NR, their morphological structure and spatial distribution. Analysis of the occurrence and structure of NR revealed a correlation between the degree of stand damage and sapling state. The spatial structure was highly heterogeneous, testifying the group location of NR and the variable density. For 63% of the sample plots, a decrease in saplings was recorded as a result of the impact of the four-eysouthern ed fir bark beetle. Most of the dead saplings were large (95%), and dead saplings accounted for 10–50%. A positive correlation was found between the decrease in saplings and the state of the fir forest. The number of saplings varied from 1,233 to 19,200 plants ha−1, with fir being the dominant species. Fir forests of Western Siberia, damaged by the four-eyed fir bark beetle, have the potential for regeneration.
Impact of stand variables on characteristics of avian soundscape in common oak (Quercus robur L.) forests
Authors: Atemasov Andrey , Atemasova Tatiana
Published: November 2019

One of the problems that may arise when conducting long-term monitoring of bird populations in forest landscapes may be discrepancies between data obtained by different researchers. Using acoustic monitoring may solve this problem. To establish the suitability of the acoustic method for monitoring the state of forest ecosystems, studies were conducted in May and June 2018 on seven plots different from each other by stand age and species composition in a maple-linden-oak forest in northeastern Ukraine. The species composition of birds, the structure and composition of the stand and the values of six acoustic indices were calculated. Differences were found in all acoustic indices at different sites. The smallest values of the indices were noted in the overgrown clear-cut. Four acoustic indices in the May survey and five of the six in the June survey show significant correlations with the species richness of birds. All indices correlate with the values of several stand variables, which characterize the size and species composition of the stand, understorey and field vegetation, the closeness of various vegetation tiers, and with the distance to the edges and the nearest populated areas. The results suggest the possibility of using an acoustic approach to monitoring the bird population and the state of forest ecosystems.
Tracking the long-term structure changes of a mature deciduous broadleaf forest stand using digital hemispherical photography
Authors: Lang Mait , Pisek Jan
Published: November 2019

Hemispherical photography provides permanent records of forest canopy structure. We analysed digital hemispherical images taken during the period of 2007–2018 in a mature silver birch stand located in Järvselja, Estonia. The stand was thinned in 2004. Understory trees were removed in the spring of 2018. Images were processed using the LinearRatioSC method. Effective plant area index L
eff during the leafless phenophase increased as a result of tree growth from 0.92 to 1.24 and understory cutting was not detectable. During the full foliage condition L
eff increased from 3.6 in 2008 to 5.8 in 2017. After removal of understory trees from the stand L
eff decreased, and repeated measurements in the summer of 2018 estimated the plant area index range 4.5 < L
eff < 4.8. The results are in agreement with the expected changes following forest growth and demonstrate that LinearRatioSC is a suitable method for the estimation and long-term monitoring of forest canopy properties from digital hemispherical images.
Multiple Use Confidence Intervals for a Univariate Statistical Calibration
Authors: Chvosteková Martina
Published: November 2019

The statistical calibration problem treated here consists of constructing the interval estimates for future unobserved values of a univariate explanatory variable corresponding to an unlimited number of future observations of a univariate response variable. An interval estimate is to be computed for a value x of an explanatory variable after observing a response Yx
by using the same calibration data from a single calibration experiment, and it is called the multiple use confidence interval. It is assumed that the normally distributed response variable Yx
is related to the explanatory variable x through a linear regression model, a polynomial regression is probably the most frequently used model in industrial applications. Construction of multiple use confidence intervals (MUCI’s) by inverting the tolerance band for a linear regression has been considered by many authors, but the resultant MUCI’s are conservative. A new method for determining MUCI’s is suggested straightforward from their marginal property assuming a distribution of the explanatory variable. Using simulations, we show that the suggested MUCI’s satisfy the coverage probability requirements of MUCI’s quite well and they are narrower than previously published. The practical implementation of the proposed MUCI’s is illustrated in detail on an example.
Autonomy as Anticipation of the World of Work at School

Published: November 2019

Schools are under increasing pressure to prepare students for the transition to post-compulsory education and vocational training. Beyond the support of the students’ professional orientation, the focus is on students’ learning of soft skills. Based on an ethnographic study in schools of the lower secondary level, the article discusses how in school, autonomy is anticipated in school as a central requirement of the world of work. The analysed counselling interview reveals a narrowing of autonomy to the self-responsible execution of orders.

In Switzerland, dual vocational education and training, which is practice- and employment-oriented, is the most frequently chosen path after compulsory education. The analysis of the training provided in the company by the people in charge of the apprentices questions the influences of the world of work on educational practices. The analysis of 80 semi-directive interviews highlights the tension between production and training, the different representations of apprentices, and the impact of these two elements on training practices.

Supply chain executives are faced with the challenge of reducing labor costs. Travel time or picking efficiency can easily account for 50% or more of order picking time. If we omit human factor and the technical equipment of the warehouses, picking efficiency is mostly affected by two factors: correct combining orders into a single travel instance and picking orders in batch is the first factor; the second one is a goods placement – the more effective the goods are located, the shorter will be the picking distance for each order or batch of orders. It means that individual orders will be picked faster. Usually to determine the correct location for the goods 3PL’s are using ABC analysis that includes indicators like count of orders, goods turnover, picking rate, weight etc.

There are also more complicated indicators like goods adjacency. Such indicators are harder to take into account using ABC analysis, as it requires sophisticated analysis of customer orders.

In recent publication goods placing by results of ABC analysis was compared to the genetic algorithm approach. It was showed that genetic algorithm much more effective for goods placing.

The goal of this paper is to improve developed genetic algorithm and include in calculations factors of the labor costs and warehouse topology. These factors will make algorithm usable in real warehouses and WMS (warehouse management system) information systems.

Smart contracts are scripts on the top of the blockchain technology. They represent a form of automation by what the layers of intermediaries can be reduced or even completely replaced. Accordingly, blockchain smart contracting systems decrease transaction and enforcement costs as well as process time.

Moreover, we argue, blockchain and smart contracts can facilitate cross-organisational collaboration and their underlying business processes. Hence, they are able to support the integration of entrepreneurs and SMEs into trans-national supply chains by reducing high entry barriers and weakening the dominating position of big players.

This paper discusses the research questions how blockchain smart contracting can facilitate the implementation of collaborative logistics structures and how the integration of SMEs into sustainable maritime supply chains can be safeguarded. The research bases on expert interviews and case studies. The results showcase the potentials of using blockchain smart contracting in the environment of trans-national and multimodal supply chains.
The Philippines and Vietnam’s Responses to the Permanent Court of Arbitration’s Final Award on the Arbitration Case Initiated by the Philippines Against China over the South China Sea (July 2016)
Authors: Thao Nguyen Huong Thach
Published: November 2019

In July 2016, the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) issued its final award on the South China Sea dispute between the Philippines and China that caught the attention of the international community. Since this was the first time that a claimant in the South China Sea had ever referred the case to an international juridical body in an effort to settle the dispute, the responses of both claimant and non-claimant stakeholders were awaited. Realising the relevance of the issue, I conduct a comparative study of the responses to the PCA’s final award to two major claimants with similar positions on the South China Sea—the Philippines and Vietnam. The main aim of this study is to indicate the similarities and/or differences in the way these two states responded to the final decisions of the PCA. The study finds that even though both the Philippines and Vietnam reacted to the award in a similar manner, the motives behind their responses were different. In general, the South China Sea policy of the Philippines has always been less consistent than that of Vietnam, which can be explained through each state’s foreign policy tendencies.

It is still a debate about the controversy of brand protection systems in Indonesia regarding systems first to file. The distributor agreement was also seen to be a gap for principals who did not understand the system first to file. What protection is given to brand owners? Problem research uses normative research with an approach to law and cases. The data used is secondary data. Protection for brand owners who do not register their brands, but sell in Indonesia through a distributor agreement, contained in Article 78 of the brand law. But the weakness of the brand owner must prove itself in the trial of ownership of the brand, so that the owners of foreign brands should register their brands before signing a distribution agreement as a guarantee of the protection of their rights.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition and mineral bioavailability of T. tetraptera fruit pulp, an aromatic wild edible plant, using standard methods. The pulp were extracted from mature dried fruits obtained from plants at Awabo (5Â°30‘14.2”N and 4Â°01‘30.6”W) and Loviguié villages (5Â°48‘24.5‘‘N and 4Â°20‘15.8”W), all in south-eastern Côte d‘Ivoire. The results of chemical analysis revealed that T. tetraptera fruit pulp contains carbohydrates (63.73±0.51%), crude protein (7.01±0.66%), crude fat (1.18±0.01%), ash (5.38±0.18%), fibre (11.78±0.02%), moisture (40.52±0.18%) and an energy value of 254.74±0.15 kcal/100g. Besides, the results showed a relative high amount of vitamin A (2.11±0.02%) and vitamin B9 (261.78±0.01 Âµg/100g) while vitamin E, B1 and B2 in trace concentration. Otherwise, the phytochemical analysis (mg/100g) based on dry weight revealed an appreciable amount of total phenol (2407.10±8.36), flavonoids (14.29±0.56), tannins (55.11±0.44), catechin (392.93±1.01) and also carotenoids (108.19±7.42 Âµg/100g). Organic acids profile (mg/100mL) showed citric acid (175.06±0.02) and salicylic acid (109.85±0.01) as major organic acids. Mineral composition (mg/100g) on dry weight basis revealed that potassium (1303.67±0.58) is the most abundant followed by phosphorus (303.33±5.77), calcium (187.33±0.58) and magnesium (141.33±0.57). Furthermore, the Phytates:Zn, Phytates:Ca, Oxalates:Ca and Phytates*Ca:Zn molar ratios recorded were all below than recommended threshold values, implying a bioavailability of zinc and calcium. These data indicate that the pulp of this fruit could be a good source of ingredient for both medicine and food industries in production.

Çalışmada Kasım 2016- Temmuz 2017 tarihleri arasında Sinop il sınırları içerisinde bulunan Sarıkum Gölü‘nde anyonik deterjan kirlilik düzeyi ve bazı fiziko-kimyasal parametrelerin (pH, tuzluluk, çözünmüş oksijen, toplam çözünmüş madde, iletkenlik, sıcaklık, fosfat, oksidasyon redüksiyon potansiyeli) mevsimsel olarak belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bir yıllık ölçüm verilerine göre, anyonik deterjan konsantrasyonun, en yüksek değeri 0,056 mg/L ile en düşük değeri ise 0,021 mg/L aralığında olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuçların sınıflandırılması Su Kirliliği Kontrolü Yönetmeliği (2008) ile Yerüstü Su Kalitesi Yönetmeliği (2016)‘ne göre yapılmıştır. Çalışmada anyonik deterjan, pH, sıcaklık değerleri yönünden I. sınıf (Yüksek kaliteli) su kalitesinde; çözünmüş oksijen, toplam çözünmüş madde, fosfat fosforu değerleri açısından II. (kirli) ve III. (kirli) sınıf su, iletkenlik değeri açısından ise IV. sınıf (Çok kirli) su kalitesinde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sarıkum Gölü‘nde belirlenen istasyonların yerleşim yerlerinden gelen deterjan kirliliği beklenilenin aksine düşük değerde gözlemlenirken, fosfat fosforu değerinin ise yüksek çıkması gölde yaşayan ekosistemin çevresel kaynakları yönünden özellikle tarımsal kirliliğe maruz kaldığını göstermektedir.
