Authors: Mukan Nataliya , Noskova Margaryta , Zinchuk Iryna
Published: April 2019

The article reveals the results of the content analysis of Estonian legislative and normative documents, which define the state educational policy regarding the development of both professional and digital competences of school teachers at the current stage of the education reforming of the country. The main objectives are defined as the theoretical analysis of scientific-pedagogical literature, which highlights different aspects of the problem under research; identification of the main features of Estonian legislative framework for professional development of public school teachers, especially in the field of digital competence formation. Teachers’ professional development has been studied by foreign and Ukrainian scientists: L. Chance, A. Hollingsworth, N. Klokar, N. Mukan, V. Oliynyk, D. Ross, E. Villegas-Reimers etc. The paper, in particular, focuses on the provisions of the National Strategy for Continuing Education 2014–2020, the Professional Standards of the Teacher; The Law on Basic Schools and Secondary Schools, the State Program of Competent and Motivated Teachers and School Principals, which regulate goals, content and expected result of the development of the teacher’s digital competence and its importance for the development of education and the state. The analytical references and results of the research of the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation, dedicated to Estonian education, have been summarized. The research methodology comprises theoretical (logical, induction and deduction, comparison and compatibility, structural and systematic, analysis and synthesis), and applied (observations, questioning and interviewing) methods. The analysis has been carried out through the prism of expediency of borrowing the Estonian positive experience for the educational system of Ukraine, in particular, in the field of public school teachers professional development. The research results have been presented.
Financial Support of Higher Education Development in Ukraine and the UK
Authors: Zorochkina Tetiana
Published: April 2019

The article deals with the financial support of higher education development in Ukraine and the UK. It presents the expenditure of the consolidated budget on education between 2007 and 2017 in Ukraine and the expenditure on education services per student in the UK. It highlights the funding of research in higher education in Ukraine. It describes the personnel potential of higher education institutions in Ukraine. It specifies the existing problems in the research sector of higher education in Ukraine. It indicates that research activities of the UK universities are at a high level since about one-third of research done by the UK universities is regarded as leading in the context of the world’s research community. The article also considers the salaries of teachers and lecturers in different regions of the UK. Based on theoretical analysis of scientific and pedagogical sources one can conclude that teacher salary in the UK is quite high and differentiated. In addition, they employ other ways to differentiate teacher salary there. Indeed, teachers receive praise for their own professional growth and practice through a dialogue with their leader. It is found that the UK universities receive financial support from the funds administered by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) (except for colleges of further education). The expenditure on higher education per student in the UK is significantly higher than that in Ukraine. Due to the fact that salary differentiation stimulates teacher work, this important indicator must be implemented in Ukraine.

Staphylococcus aureus está presente na microbiota normal humana, sendo encontrada na região das narinas, pele e trato gastrointestinal. Tem sido um dos principais microrganismos relacionados a infecções hospitalares, provocando na maioria das vezes abcessos cutâneos e infecções de feridas, mas também podem causar infecções sistêmicas como: bacteremia, endocardite, pneumonia, dentre outras. Os antibióticos são indicados no tratamento de infecções bacterianas, entretanto, seu uso indiscriminado propicia o desenvolvimento de resistência, representando um sério problema de saúde pública. Logo, é necessário a investigação de alternativas para o tratamento dessas infecções, como por exemplo, a utilização de produtos naturais para fins terapêuticos. Diante disso, esse estudo objetivou investigar a atividade antimicrobiana de Terminalia catappa (amendoeira-da-praia) contra Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) e Staphylococcus aureus resistente a meticilina – MRSA (ATCC 343602). As folhas foram coletadas, secas, trituradas e ressuspendidas em etanol 99,5 %. Realizou-se a investigação da atividade antimicrobiana in vitro pelo ensaio de difusão em ágar, seguido pelo ensaio de microdiluição em caldo. Os resultados mostraram atividade antimicrobiana contra as cepas bacterianas testadas, apresentando uma concentração inibitória mínima de 0,36 mg/mL para Staphylococcus aureus e 0,29 mg/mL para MRSA. Os resultados obtidos indicam um grande potencial dessa espécie vegetal na pesquisa e desenvolvimento de novos agentes antimicrobianos.

A MEDIAÇÃO NO DIREITO DE FAMÍLIA
Authors: Fachini Machado Milena , Stefanoni Luciana Renata Rondina
Published: April 2019

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo demonstrar que a Medição é a forma mais adequada de solução de controvérsias no Direito de Família. A Mediação Familiar é um procedimento no qual um terceiro conduz de maneira imparcial, buscando auxiliar no término de um conflito.  A solução de conflitos atual no Brasil não é adequada para os que procuram uma prestação jurisdicional rápida, efetiva e justa para seus problemas. Isso acontece, pois o Poder Judiciário encontra-se com excesso de demandas para as quais não possui estrutura suficiente para satisfazer os interesses da sociedade. Dessa forma, há uma procura frequente por incessantes recursos mais céleres e justos. Atualmente, a mediação é uma justiça alternativa que possui nova possibilidade de resolver os conflitos de famí­lia com o diálogo. Portanto, por se tratar de uma justiça econômica e, além disso, mais fugaz, busca a solução dos conflitos decorrentes de sua própria evolução e, consequentemente, as partes são respeitadas, em sua dignidade, através de métodos humanos, pois, além de estar mediando uma situação nos casos de Direito de Família, são necessários alguns cuidados especiais para que os próprios conflitantes entrem em um acordo entendendo que a melhor solução é o diálogo para buscar soluções conjuntas para os problemas. A metodologia utilizada para a presente pesquisa foi a revisão de literatura, através do método dedutivo, com fontes em doutrinas, artigos científicos, jurisprudências e monografias.

Sovereign Destruction: On Life and Death in Politics
Authors: Mladenova Viki
Published: April 2019

Achille Mbembe and Adriana Cavarero offer two very profound neologisms –necropolitics and horrorism – that can equip one with a better understanding of life and death in the modern political community or sovereign unit (as in the case of the nation-state). If one goes through the rupture of thinking modern sovereignty following the Foucaultian inversion of war as the continuation of politics by other means, the place of violence is inevitable. What is considered as sovereign order in the same time is the place that was violently occupied, upon which was decided that will represent the constitution of power and the rule of a figure that in modern perspective is the rule of body politic i.e. of the sovereign. Thus, what was emphasized as a concern regarding modern sovereign rule opting towards material destruction of human bodies and populations, most certainly helps to explain contemporary political violence. Also what else is recognized are all other forms of war, all its extensions in every political community, since what war bears is not always and only terror, it is horror above all as an even more profound and at the same time excessive violence that spreads over war scenes.

Published: April 2019

The utilization of nuclear technology in health sector with molecular techniques is increasingly developed today, especially in Indonesia.Â  One of which is nucleotide compound marked with [Î±-32P]ATP, this compound has been used as tracer for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)/ ribonucleic acid (RNA) in the study of various physiological and pathological processes. [Î±-32P]ATP is synthesized through several stages of continuous reaction in one reaction vessel. It begins with synthesis of [Î³-32P]ATP through an enzymatic reaction, using H332PO4 and ADP, and enzymesÂ  of lactate dehydrogenase, 3-phosphoglycerate phosphokinase and glyceraldehide 3-phosphoÂ  dehydrogenase; followed by phosphorilation of 3â€™AMP with T4 polinucleotide kinase enzyme to produce 3â€™-[5â€™-32P]ATP. The result is hydrolyzed with nuclease P1 enzyme to produce [5â€™-32P]AMP. The unreacted [Î³-32P] is degraded by the addition of hexokinase enzyme and glucose. At the final stage of the reaction, the [5â€™-32P]AMP isÂ  phosphorilated using phosphoenol-piruvat, piruvat kinase, and myokinase to produce [Î±-32P]ATP. The test results show that the every stage of reaction is characterized using TLC method, PEI cellulose paper as stationary phase and KH3PO4 0,5 M pH 3,5 as mobile phase. At the end of reaction, the yield of [Î±-32P]ATP reaches 71,7%, at Rf = 0,2.

Published: April 2019

A general strategy to access both aryl and alkyl radicals by photosensitized decarboxylation of the corresponding carboxylic acids esters has been developed. An energy transfer mediated homolysis of unsymmetrical sigma-bonds for a concerted fragmentation/decarboxylation process is involved. As a result, an independent aryl/alkyl radical generation step enables a series of key C-X and C-C bond forming reactions by simply changing the radical trapping agent.

Prioritarianism: A (Pluralist) Defence
Authors: Agmon Shai Shimon Yehuda , Hitchens Matt
Published: April 2019

A well-known objection to prioritarianism, famously levelled by Mike Otsuka and Alex Voorhoeve, is that it wrongly ignores the unity of the individual in treating intra-personal cases like inter-personal cases. In this paper we accept that there should be a moral shift between these cases, but argue that this is because autonomy is a relevant consideration in intra-personal but not inter-personal cases, and one to which pluralist prioritarians ought to attend. To avoid this response, Otsuka and Voorhoeve must (and do) assume we know nothing about the subjective information of the person being chosen for. But we show that this commits them to two controversial assumptions: that welfare consists in an objective list of goods, and – if one accepts an unorthodox but plausible account of the relationship between risk aversion and rationality – that there is only a narrow range of rational risk aversions. Only prioritarians who accept both these assumptions are on the hook of Otsuka and Voorhoeve’s objection; for all others, the examples have insufficient information, and so lose their sting.

Education of the generation of the nation, especially the younger generation, is one of the things that must be considered in order to improve and develop the Indonesian nation. All parties related to the achievement of educational success must cooperate. Starting from the school, parents, government, or the community. One of the successes of education can be seen from learning achievement. In terms of learning, discipline is one of the factors that must be considered. Based on observations made by researchers at Semarang State High School 15, there are still many students who still violate school rules. Therefore, researchers want to know the effect of discipline on student learning outcomes. The research sample was 60 students from 252 students of class X-IPA. The method of data collection is done by using questionnaires and observations. The results of this study indicate that student discipline on student achievement is very influential and it can be seen that the average student discipline is 3.1 which includes the Very Good (SB) category. The Very Good categorized average is directly proportional to student achievement results with an average of 82.

Published: April 2019

This study aims to determine the profile of students' thinking in solving mathematical problems and to find out the results of the application of Brunerd's theory in solving the problem of building a Limas room in junior high school students.Retrieval Techniques The subjects in this study were seen from the results of tests with high, medium, low categories. High categories were seen from the test results if the answers to the tests were all correct, the categories were seen from the test results if the answers to the tests still had errors, while the categories were low seen from the test results if the answer to the test is still wrong. This technique is used because researchers have a specific purpose for several considerations, namely to find out whether the application of bruner theory can be applied in mathematics subjects, considering that mathematics is considered a difficult subject for students. The subjects of this study were 6 students. Data collection techniques in this study used test, interview and documentation methods while the data validity techniques in this study used triangulation techniques which included 3 elements, namely sources, methods, theories. In this study researchers used data analysis techniques with 3 components, namely: data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing.The results showed that subjects with a high category tended to have high-thinking profiles, they had no difficulty in doing tests and interviews. The subjects with the medium category were more likely to have thinking profiles, while they had a little difficulty in doing tests and interviews, while the subjects with the lower category were more likely to have low-thinking profiles, they had difficulty doing tests and interviews. This is what causes a difference between them. Based on the discussion, it can be concluded that junior high school students in their profile think in solving problems in the building of a limiter junior high school students are able to describe the building of Limas space means that SMP students are able to understand pyramid material shown to the sensitivity of students in learning to build Limas space so that junior high school students in their imagination are able to mention 1 example of a pyramid building and all junior high school students are able to mention the types of Limas indicated by the independence of junior high school students who are able to mention various types of building> 1 in terms of bases, and junior high students are able to say> 1 element the building elements of the Limas space means that junior high school students are able to understand the pyramid material shown to the sensitivity of junior high school students to be able to mention the Limas parts properly and correctly.

Factors Influencing Women’s Decision to Study Computer Science: Is It Context Dependent?
Authors: Genut Sarah , Ori Bnaya , Ben-David Kolikant Yifat
Published: April 2019

Aim/Purpose: Our research goal was to examine the factors that motivate women to enroll in Computer Science (CS) courses in order to better understand the small number of women in the field of CS.

Background: This work is in line with the growing interest in better understanding the problem of the underrepresentation of women in the field of CS.

Methodology: We focused on a college that differs in its high numbers of female CS students. The student population there consists mostly of religious Jews; some of them are Haredi, who, because of their unique lifestyle, are expected to be the breadwinners in their family. Following group interviews with 18 students, a questionnaire was administered to all the female students and 449 of them responded. We analyzed it statistically. We compared the responses of the Haredi and non-Haredi students.

Contribution: The main contribution of this work lies in the idea that studying the factors underlying women’s presence in a CS program in unique communities and cultures, where women are equally represented in the field, might shed light on the nature of this phenomenon, especially whether it is universal or confined to the surrounding culture.

Findings: There were significant differences between the Haredi and non-Haredi women regarding the importance they attributed to different factors. Haredi women resemble, regarding some social and economic variables, women in developing countries, but differ in others. The non-Haredi women are more akin to Western women, yet they did not completely overlap. Both groups value their family and career as the most important factors in their lives. These factors unify women in the West and in developing countries, though with different outcomes. In the West, it deters women from studying CS, whereas in Israel and in Malaysia, other factors can overcome this barrier. Both groups attributed low importance to the masculine image of CS, found important in the West. Hence, our findings support the hypothesis that women’s participation in the field of CS is culturally dependent.

Recommendations for Practitioners: It is important to learn about the culture within which women operate in order to attract more women to CS.

Recommendations for Researchers: Future work is required to examine other loci where women are underrepre-sented in CS, as well as how the insights obtained in this study can be utilized to decrease women’s underrepresentation in other loci.

Impact on Society: Women's underrepresentation in CS is an important topic for both economic and social justice reasons. It raises questions regarding fairness and equality. In the CS field the gender pay gaps are smaller than in other professional areas. Thus, resolving the underrepresentation of women in CS will serve as a means to decrease the social gender gap in other areas.

NASA’s Project Mercury began as a response to the cold war with the Soviet Union and had a number of goals: to place a manned spacecraft in orbital flight around the earth; to investigate man's performance capabilities and his ability to function in the environment of space and to recover the man and the spacecraft safely. An aspect of preflight testing included the use of an altitude chamber to test each capsule and allow the astronauts to engage in simulated missions within a vacuum environment. In 1985, the chamber was modified for an unusual mission. During 1985 into 1987, the chamber was converted to an environmentally-controlled, hydroponic plant growth chamber termed the “Biomass Production Chamber”. The chamber hosted crop studies of wheat, soybean, lettuce, potato, and tomato and demonstrated intensive, closed environment farming until decommissioned in late 2001. Significant findings included: the nutrient solution could be reconstituted without replacement for at least four crop cycles; cooling the nutrient solution was important for potato crops and; redundant sensor systems were important to ensure consistent control and data collection.

KATAR’IN AFRİKA BOYNUZU POLİTİKASININ ARABULUCULUK KAPSAMINDA ANALİZİ / Analysis Of Qatar’s Horn Of Africa Policy In The Context Of Mediation
Authors: OĞULTÜRK Mehmet Cem , YILMAZ Fatma
Published: April 2019

Arabuluculuk, 2000’li yılların
ortalarından itibaren Ortadoğu ve Afrika’da yaşanan sorunların çözümlerinde
Katar’ın dış politika stratejisi haline gelmiş önemli bir çatışma yönetimi
aracıdır. Küçük bir Körfez emirliği olan Katar, bu dönemde sergilemiş olduğu
başarılı arabuluculuk rolüyle dünyada dikkat çeken bir aktör haline gelmiştir.
Bu makalenin amacı, Katar’ın Afrika Boynuzu’nda oynadığı arabuluculuk rolünü
Darfur, Somali ve Eritre/Cibuti sorunları özelinde incelemektir. Bu
faaliyetlerin gerçekleştirilme yöntemleri incelendiğinde kişisel ilişkilerin
öne çıktığı ve finansal gücün sıklıkla kullanıldığı gözlenmektedir. Katar'ın
arabuluculuktaki çabalarının altında yatan nedenler ve hızla periferik bir
devletten küresel bir arabulucuya dönüşümü bu çalışmanın ana araştırma konusunu
oluşturmaktadır. Makale, literatür araştırmasına dayanmakta ve Katar'ın Afrika
Boynuzu’nda üstlendiği arabuluculuk rolünü analiz etmektedir. Ayrıca, bölgedeki
çatışmaların çözümünde arabuluculuk etmeyi amaçlayan aktif dış politikası
sonucunda, Katar'ın Afrika Boynuzu’nda etkin bir aktör haline geldiğini savunmaktadır.
Makalede, takip mekanizmasının ve kişisel diplomatik ilişkilerin yokluğunun,
Katar arabuluculuk çabalarının çatışma çözümünde yetersiz kaldığı sonucuna
varılmıştır.
BRENT HAM PETROL GETİRİLERİNDE KAOTİK DİNAMİKLERİN ARAŞTIRILMASI / Investigation of Chaotic Dynamics In Brent Crude Oil Returns
Authors: ÜRKMEZ Emre
Published: April 2019

Bu çalışmada Brent ham petrol
getirilerindeki kaotik dinamiklerin varlığı doğrusal olmama ve kaos testleri
yardımıyla araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla 2009-2019 dönemleri arasında Brent ham
petrol günlük kapanış fiyat getirilerinden oluşan veri seti kullanılmıştır.
Öncelikle, BDS testi kullanılarak getirilerdeki doğrusal olmama test edilmiş ve
doğrusal olmayan yapının varlığına yönelik kanıt elde edilmiştir. Daha sonra,
getirilerin uzun hafızaya sahip olduğu GPH testi ile tespit edilmiştir. Son
olarak, korelasyon boyutu analizi kullanılarak günlük getirilerin başlangıç
durumlarına hassas bağlılık özelliği gösterdikleri görülmüştür. Tüm bulgular
bir arada değerlendirildiğinde Brent ham petrol günlük getirilerinin kaotik
dinamikler tarafından karakterize edildiği ve etkin piyasa hipotezinin geçerli
olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmadaki tüm ampirik bulgular getiri serileri
için kısa dönemde öngörü yapılabileceğini, ancak uzun dönemli öngörü yapmanın
zor olduğu sonucuna işaret etmektedir.
PARA PİYASALARINDA GERİ BESLEME MEKANİZMASI VE FİNANSAL KRİZLER / Feedback Mechanism In Money Markets And Financial Crises
Authors: ÖZDEMİR Dicle
Published: April 2019

Refleksivite
teorisi 1988 yılında George Soros tarafından ortaya atılmış ve temelde ana akım
iktisat yaklaşımında yer alan etkin piyasa hipotezinin geçerli olmadığı savına
dayanmaktadır. Ana akım iktisat teorisinin aksine, ne piyasa katılımcıları ne
de parasal ve mali otoriteler kararlarını salt bilgiye dayandırabilirler. Buna
göre piyasalarda uzun dönemde denge yerine varlık balonları oluşması
kaçınılmazdır. Bu görüşün altında yatan esas etken irrasyonel piyasa
katılımcıları tarafından belirlenen piyasa fiyatlarının gerçek fiyatları ve
dönüşümlü olarak refleksiv geri besleme mekanizması içinde yeniden piyasa
fiyatlarını etkilemesidir. Geri besleme mekanizması ile piyasalarda sistemin
balonlaşması ve hızla sönmesi kaçınılmaz hale gelir. Bu bağlamda refleksivite
teorisi, Keynesyen görüş ile uyumlu bir şekilde beklentilere vurgu yaparak,
piyasa denge sürecinin varlığını sorgular.

Published: April 2019

Peatland in Riau is commonly utilized for agricultural purposes including oil palm. This utilization has influenced on peat characteristics on the top soil leading to degraded peatland, associated drought-related fire. In this paper, we identified peat dryness from three different oil palm ages using drought indices proxy to derive information on spatial dryness. Two drought indices were used in this study including the Temperature Vegetation Dryness Index (TVDI) and the Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI). Our results showed that the TVDI value ranged from 0.46 to 0.92, while the CWSI value ranged from 0.18 to 0.80. The highest value of TVDI was found in 2-years old oil palm, and the lowest values was in the 11-years old oil palm. Our CWSI analysis confirmed this pattern that young oil palm has a high moisture stress, as many peat-soils were exposed to direct sunlight. Our findings also revealed that the TVDI and the CWSI were able to interpret soil moisture dynamics on the top layers (10 cm).

Rice production in Indonesia has faced many challenges including disease outbreak leading to crop failure. Blast is a common disease, which is often found in paddy, that able to inhibit its growth and development. Here, we present simulation modeling to predict blast outbreak under climate change projection scenario in west Java, Indonesia. Two climate projections namely RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 were employed as input for EPIRICE epidemiological model. With this model we anaysed the potency of blast outbreak for 2021-2050. Then we compared the area of the projected blast with the output from current climate condition (1996-2005, as a baseline). Our results show that the potency of blast outbreak was in a low level under baseline. The area indicating a low level of outbreak was observed for both climate projections. Our findings revealed that a decreasing trend on the outbreak is expected for 2021-2050. However, an increased number of area having blast outbreak was observed especially in mountains region as many of 2%.day and 6%.day for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively.

Published: April 2019

This study aims to discuss the perceptions of auditors and auditees on public sector performance audits. This study analyzes how social processes and interactions are both in the performance audit process. They are in case of changes in the auditor's role in the future, which have the potential to cause problems of independence. The other is that the benefits and impacts of performance audit results have not been felt significantly. By using a qualitative approach, this study analyzes how the perceptions and relations of the two actors in the performance audit. In-depth and structured interview techniques are used as data collection methods from participants from auditors and auditees. Auditee's response was also analyzed to determine the extent of their resistance to the actions of auditors and their perception of the benefits of performance audits. The results of the study show that performance audits have not given a significant impact on policy performance improvements. There are differences in perceptions about expectations for the role of the auditor and the provision of recommendations that are more solutive. A significant difference in perception is also shown in the auditor's understanding of the auditee's business processes. It is due to the issues in the auditor's qualifications and experience that are influenced by their educational background. Other findings are the potential disruption of auditor independence due to lack of operationalization of the concept of independence and the amount of pressure from the auditee.
The Vulnerability of Male Gender and State Response in the Female Labor Protection Policy: A Case Study of New Industrial Communities in Purbalingga Regency
Authors: Tobirin Tobirin
Published: April 2019

This article discusses the role dominance female gender in the public domain compared to male. So far, gender relations always place female in subordinate conditions and in one condition, male dominate. Minimal gender relations are assessed from the opposite condition. Male is subordinated and female dominate, where male is more vulnerable than female. The purpose of this article is to analyze the vulnerability of male in the labor family in the state's response to female labor protection policies. The research method used is a mixed method, an approach that combines quantitative methods with survey and qualitative approaches with in-depth interviews. The results of this study indicate new gender relations in the family of workers. Female workers become the main breadwinner, gain trust in financial institutions, and develop economic networks through the plasma industry by empowering the surrounding community and accessibility to work. Meanwhile, male is in vulnerable positions with limited employment opportunities, lower income, and feel ashamed of domestic roles. Besides, state response in public policy is less favorable to male in employment; countries in responding to the implications of the emergence of new gender relations still assume female domination in the domestic sphere. In view of this, the local government of Purbalingga Regency should do the following; a) develop family care policies by assuming new female gender roles that are more dominant in the public sphere. b) Build awareness of the advancement of female as a positive thing in realizing a harmonious family by the role of new males who have high gender awareness.

Published: April 2019

Collaborative governance has, currently, become an alternative to resolving public issues, wherein the government is suggested to collaborate with cross-sector organizations. Although several collaborative efforts developed by the government were reported to have failed, there are a number of successful collaborations established to resolve various issues. The main objective of this study is to analyze why did the collaboration process of the off-site anoa conservation through the Anoa Breeding Center (ABC) succeed in increasing the anoa population. This study employed the qualitative descriptive methodology. The data collection techniques used were literature study, observation, and interviews with stakeholders involved in ABC activities. The study results show that the collaboration in managing ABC was successful and it effectively resolved the problems confronted in the off-site anoa conservation due to active role of the administrators in realizing extensive participation, establishing and maintaining trust, as well as running a transparent process among the actors. The established collaboration is supported by a leadership that facilitated the implementation of the collaboration process. The collaboration is carried out formally as stipulated in the MoU made, as well as informally on the basis of the trust developed. The determining factors in the success of the collaboration in the off-site anoa conservation at ABC are the presence of process transparency, clear basic values, scope of actors involved, and facilitative leadership in the collaboration effort.
