In 1917 namen enkele textielondernemers het besluit dadelijk na de bevrijding het vennootschap Union Cotonnière (UCO) op te richten. Kort na haar stichting in 1919 liet de Union Cotonnière haar kantoren overbrengen van de Voldersstraat naar de Savaanstraat. Daar zouden ze ongeveer dertig jaar blijven. Daarna verhuis naar Sint-Pietersnieuwtraat 29, naast het feestlokaal Vooruit. Nog eens tien jaar verder naar een nieuw administratief en com mercieel centrum aan de Schelde, net over de Sint-Lievensbrug,

In november 1846 werd een wel heel bijzonder verzoekschrift of petitie in het Nederlands gericht aan de ‘Heeren Voorzitter en Leden der Kamer van Volksvertegenwoordigers te Brussel’ (afb. 1). Het ging uit van de inwoners van de Brugsepoort die zich als aparte gemeente wilden organiseren, ongeveer zoals Ledeberg buiten de Brusselsepoort dat al sinds de Franse tijd als onafhankelijke gemeente bestond.
Contributiebrug en Contributiestraat
Authors: Devriese Luc
Published: August 2018

De Contributiebrug aan de Brugsepoort. De naam lijkt eenvoudig, maar is dat  niet. Oude stadspoorten en bijhorende bruggen associëren we met tollen, maar ‘contributie’ betekende en betekent nu nog altijd ‘belasting’, niet ‘tol’ of ‘octrooi’ (zie de afleveringen over de Dampoort en Tolhuis in deze reeks). Een in-, uit- of doorvoerrecht is iets helemaal anders dan een contributie, is geen rechtstreekse belasting. En toch was er om en bij de Brugse Poort sprake van een brug en een poort die in verband stonden met een speciale belasting. Enkel aan die poort!
Lange Steenstraat - Drongenhof huis Mispreuve
Authors: Devriese Luc
Published: August 2018

Het grote pand op de hoek van de Lange Steenstraat 60-66 en Drongenhof 42, het huis genoemd naar de bouwer wijnhandelaar Mispreuve, was in die tijd een op het eerste gezicht weinig opvallend hoekhuis. Tot in 1838 toen het gebouw grotendeels het nu nog bestaande typisch 19de-eeuws uitzicht kreeg (afb. 1), was het een indrukwekkend groot gebouw met drie bouwlagen, vermoedelijk onderverdeeld in een woonhuis en een magazijn, later twee woonhuizen.
Gentenaars in de Kruisvaart van 1464
Authors: Van Keymeulen Peter
Published: August 2018

Op het beroemde Feest van de Eed op de Fazant te Rijsel in 1454 legden hertog Filips de Goede van Bourgondië (1396-1467) en een deel van zijn gevolg de plechtige kruisvaardereed af. Dit betekende zowel een voortzetten van de traditie van het kruisvaartidee door de hertogen als een reactie op de vroegere nederlaag en gevangenneming van vader Jan zonder Vrees door de Turken te Nicopolis in 1396.
Wie kent de Koning Willembrug.
Authors: Devriese Luc , Gelaude Frank
Published: August 2018

De zeer actieve mensen die de grote betekenis van koning Willem I voor Gent (zeer terecht) voor het voetlicht willen brengen, schrijven dat zijn figuur ‘volkomen afwezig’ is in Gent. Alhoewel er in het straatbeeld van onze stad heel wat historische verwijzingen naar die periode terug zijn te vinden, is de figuur van Willem I zelf volkomen afwezig en stond het historisch besef van Gent en de Gentenaars daaromtrent op een laag pitje. Ook in het toeristisch ‘circuit’ bleef hij tot nu toe volledig onzichtbaar. Bijna helemaal fout.

‘Rietgracht’ is een waternaam (hydroniem) die voor flink wat hoofdbrekens en misverstanden zorgt. Je vindt hem in verschillende schrijfvarianten op historische kaarten rondom Gent en zelfs vandaag is de naam lokaal nog goed gekend. Dit is niet verwonderlijk, want eeuwenlang vormde de ‘Rietgracht’ sa men met andere waterlopen de grens van het Gentse schependom, de feitelijke grens van Gent, een grens die ver buiten de opeenvolgende omwallingen strekte.

Extension of Time Claim Assessment in Malaysian Construction Industry: Views from professionals
Authors: Mohamad Yusuwan Norazian , Adnan Hamimah
Published: August 2018

This paper aims to investigate the current practice of extension of time claim assessment by contract administrators and identify difficulties faced by them during the assessment process. Findings from the questionnaire survey revealed that poor factual evidence and flaws in claim presentation are the principal factors leading to delays in the assessment process. The findings imply that efficient contract administration and well-organised record-keeping will lead not only to successful project management but also will increase the chances of a successful contractual claim. These findings are expected to offer a significant contribution to industry players, researchers and also academics, thus helping to identify areas for further improvement.

Authors: Khalil Natasha , Kamaruzzaman Syahrul Nizam , Baharum Mohamad Rizal , Husin Husrul Nizam
Published: August 2018

Higher education building (HEB) is believed to be key functional. It spawns not only the environment but also human and economic resources. Initially, the growing student population with various learning activities has constituted risk emergence, inefficient energy use and climate discomfort. Thus, it decreases the yearly total performance of the building. To sustain building efficiency, Building Performance Evaluation (BPE) plays a vital role to improve performance issues in HEB. Hence, this paper explores the significance of users' feedback as the concept of building performance. This paper also describes the literature on the HEB's background including risk factors and performance issues.

Published: August 2018

This study investigates the influence of surface heterogeneity on land surface temperature (LST). The land cover changes evaluation and historical climate data comparison were used in this study. Land cover, Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalised Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) and LST maps are produced to quantify the impacts of urbanization towards the surface thermal behaviour. Urbanization was set in the year 1999 to 2006. While urbanization continued in 2009, the surface temperature was lower than in 2006. The sea level was notably high during 2006, suggesting the loss of ice extent and evident to the climate change effects. Therefore, the fluctuation of temperature from 1999 to 2009 was manifestly influenced by green space and climatic response and was not solely caused by urbanization.

Published: August 2018

Introduction: Adding years to life is a great achievement when this is accompanied by a good level of health and well-being and independence. Major indicators for prediction mortality risk in older adults are the nutrition status and physical functional ability. The aim of this study is to present the nutritive and functional status among institutionalized elderlies and the relatedness with certain risk factors. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study has been conducted at certain nursing homes with participation of individuals over 60 years old. As for the research Scale of Daily Living Activities (ADL) has been used to present the functional capacity of the elderly and MNA has been used to detect the nutrition status. Results: The results from the research conducted among elderlies have shown the following socio-demographic characteristics: out of 127 participants, most of them were females-77% and 69% at the age between 75 and 84. Most of the elderlies (in 68%) have completed secondary education. The results from MNA have shown that 69,2% are wellnourished, 27,6% are at risk for malnutrition and 3,2% are malnourished. There is a relatedness of the nutrition status with the gender (p < 0,001) and the level of education (p < 0,001).ADL scale among 127 elderly participants has shown that 37% are independent, 45% are with a moderate impairment and 18% are with severe functional impairment. In comparison with the females, the males show higher level of functional ability in all ADL components except the continence. Conclusion: The results from the research have shown that the nutrition status among elderlies is satisfactory, emphasizing the factors such as gender, education level and functional ability as key points for the level of nutrition status at the elderlies.

Material and Method: Fifty-two patients who had redo open-heart surgery between May 2005 and November 2006 in a Hospital included in this prospective study. All patients had a history of open-heart surgery with median sternotomy. Thirty-two patients who had redo open-heart surgery with beating heart technique were included in Group 1 and 20 patients who had redo open-heart surgery with conventional cardioplegic myocardial arrest technique were included in Group 2. Patients who had any cardiac surgery without median sternotomy were excluded. Results: Functional capacity according to New York Heart Association classification was significantly lower and number of patients with chronic obstructive lung disease was significantly higher in Group 1 (p = 0.011 and p = 0.003 respectively). There was no significant difference in other preoperative variables. Operation, cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamping times were significantly higher in Group 2 (p = 0.001, p = 0.003, p = 0.04 respectively). Mechanical ventilation, inotropic agent support and hospitalization times were significantly higher in Group 2 (p < 0.05). Intensive care unit time was significantly longer in Group 1 (p < 0.05). Drainage volumes, blood product transfusion volumes, intra-aortic balloon pump support times were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion: Beating heart technique in redo heart valve operations has better outcomes than the conventional technique.

CONTRIBUIÇÕES DO MODELO TOGAF PARA AS PRÁTICAS DE GOVERNANÇA CORPORATIVA
Authors: Abreu Pedro Henrique Camargo de
Published: August 2018

Um dos grandes desafios de uma equipe de Arquitetura Corporativa está no gerenciamento das camadas que suportam os direcionadores de negócio, pois em grande parte dos casos, as informações necessárias para esse mapeamento, existem na empresa, mas estão descentralizadas e de forma não estruturada, o que dificulta o seu registro e controle. Tendo em vista as dificuldades para consolidar a Arquitetura Corporativa nas organizações, é evidente que se torna fundamental a adoção de um método capaz de contribuir com o mapeamento e planejamento detalhado de atividades. Dessa forma, o framework TOGAF representa uma alternativa atrativa para este contexto, pois propicia o desenvolvimento de indicadores de desempenho gerenciais e auxiliares, capazes de guiar e consolidar projetos de melhoria. Sendo assim, o objetivo do presente trabalho consiste em analisar as contribuições do modelo TOGAF para as práticas de Governança Corporativa, enfatizando os fatores críticos de sucesso para a integração e padronização da Arquitetura Corporativa nas organizações. A metodologia adotada foi desenvolvida através de uma pesquisa exploratória, que contou com uma revisão sistemática da literatura. Os resultados obtidos, demonstram que a adoção e a aplicação efetiva do framework TOGAF pode proporcionar uma série de benefícios para a Governança Corporativa nas instituições, entretanto, o mesmo exige um grande comprometimento e envolvimento por parte dos envolvidos, pois somente assim, será possível alcançar os resultados esperados e consolidar a maturidade dos processos.

Existe a necessidade de mudar os padrões comportamentais, a ética de nossos cidadãos e organizações que deverão reformular seus modelos de produção, gestão e consumo adotados pelo ser humano. Para isso, novos métodos de organização, como a sustentabilidade aeroportuária se mostram absolutamente necessárias. A questão de pesquisa está relacionada às oportunidades que podem ser geradas num sistema complexo como os aeroportos e destacar iniciativas existentes de sustentabilidade que podem ser extrapoladas para outros sítios aeroportuários.

O sistema aeroportuário é um dos que mais demanda recursos e propõe inovações e desafios para seus componentes a respeito da necessidade de conciliar a gestão econômica, ambiental e social em seus negócios.

Este artigo tem como objetivo mostrar que a sustentabilidade no sistema aeroportuário gera oportunidade para novos negócios. Em sua metodologia, trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza descritiva, cujo instrumento de coleta de dados teve como base levantamento bibliográfico de sites, revistas, artigos científicos nacionais e reflexões administradas por docentes.

Os modelos atuais de prontuários são isolados e proprietários, tornando as informações do paciente dispersas, redundantes e sem integração, impactando na qualidade dos tratamentos e análises epidemiológicas. Foi proposto um modelo de dados composto por três níveis de informação: Síntese, Síntese Estendida e Prontuário Completo. A síntese é acessada com frequência e distribuída em bases de dados e os outros dois níveis são acessados quando a síntese for insuficiente. A grade computacional oferece objetivos de descentralização, escalabilidade e tolerância a falhas. O modelo foi suportado pelos servidores JAVA Parallel Processing Framework, GlassFish e MySQL. Nos resultados, foram elaborados 19 casos de uso e o modelo de entidade-relacionamento. Avaliou-se a latência da rede em 4 configurações na transferência da síntese pelo evento no MySQL. De 5 para 6 servidores, reduziu-se 29%. De 5 para 8 servidores, reduziu-se entre 49-67%. Concluiu-se que, a fragmentação do modelo diminuiu a latência, viabilizando sua operacionalização.

Estamos na era das grandes massas de dados. O armazenamento e a manipulação de grandes quantidades de dados são um desafio. Houve uma época em que os bancos de dados do modelo relacional eram a única solução viável, por serem seguros e de fácil manipulação. Com os avanços tecnológicos e a popularização da internet em todo o mundo, a cada instante um número considerável de novos dados são gerados, devido a esse fenômeno surgiram novas abordagens de manipulação de dados, a fim de atender às crescentes necessidades do mercado. Os bancos de dados NoSQL estão sendo cada vez mais reconhecidos como alternativas ao modelo relacional para manipulação de dados. Ambas as abordagens são boas para determinadas situações. Este trabalho tem como objetivo fazer um estudo comparativo entre banco de dados relacionais e banco de dados NoSQL. A nossa pesquisa compara os dois bancos de dados para ajudar o desenvolvedor a identificar qual plataforma é mais adequada para uma massa de dados específica e, assim, auxiliar na tomada de decisão com relação a qual a melhor escolha para o projeto em questão. A metodologia usada nesse trabalho é a análise das arquiteturas dos bancos de dados e teste envolvendo grandes massas de dados para a verificação do desempenho de cada banco. Nos resultados obtidos na nossa pesquisa observamos uma diferença surpreendente entre o banco de dados MS SQL Server e o MongoDB no tempo de inclusão de dados. Outro resultado que nos chamou a atenção fora o tempo de consulta entre o MongoDB e o MSSQL, que se mostrou significativo para nossas conclusões sobre que banco é mais recomendável para grandes requisições. Também notamos que há diferença no consumo de recursos de cada SGBD, podendo influenciar na escolha de uma das plataformas.

Published: August 2018

O presente trabalho procurou analisar o nível de comprometimento dos jovens da geração Y trabalhadores das melhores empresas para trabalhar em 2014. Foi estudada uma amostra de 45.747 respondentes distribuídos em 286 empresas. Os resultados encontrados a partir da análise do percentual de respostas revelam que a maioria dos jovens entrevistados possuem um alto nível de comprometimento. A aplicação do método de regressão logística binária revelou que o gênero e o grau de instrução são positivamente significativos para o aumento da probabilidade de nível alto de comprometimento, ressaltando que a medida que o grau de instrução aumenta, o impacto positivo diminui. Percebeu-se também que ocupar cargos (operacional, técnico nível médio, técnico nível superior e vendedor) diminuem a probabilidade de comprometimento. Por fim notou-se que pertencer a maior parte das empresas estudadas não traz qualquer aumento na probabilidade de comprometimento e ainda mais grave, algumas diminuem a probabilidade de níveis altos e comprometimento. Como contribuição, destacam-se o caráter quantitativo da análise oferecida pelo estudo e os dados referentes aos fatores contribuintes para a formação do comprometimento na definição estabelecida.

A missão de atuar no combate e prevenção a fraude ocupacional é uma atividade complexa e um campo de estudos restrito. O objetivo desse trabalho é avaliar o impacto na vida profissional de colaboradores que confessaram o seu envolvimento em fraudes contra seus empregadores e tiveram o seu contrato de trabalho rompido. A metodologia da pesquisa é baseada em avaliação de dados públicos de 18 (dezoito) ex-colaboradores intencionalmente selecionados, a partir de base cedida pela empresa S2 Consultoria. A pesquisa demonstra que o impacto na carreira dos pesquisados é pouco expressivo, deixando a sensação de que a fraude pode compensar e que medidas mais eficazes para seu combate são necessárias.
Irregular Receipts Leading to Budget Deficits in Kosovo
Authors: Zharku Lutfi
Published: August 2018

The aim of the paper is to analyse the irregular budget receipts, their behaviour and impact on budget deficits in Kosovo. Since its independence, Kosovo has been engaging in large infrastructure projects based mainly on initially high cash balances and overestimation of revenue capacity, in particular of irregular receipts. This led to the creation of future liabilities and budget deficits, which had to be financed by public debt. Further, the politically motivated increase of wage and salary bill and social transfers increased the burden on budget deficit already caused by infrastructure projects. Thus, budget deficits became the lasting feature of Kosovo economy. All this was supported by a lack of legal infrastructure or fiscal rules for several years. There is extensive literature on the causes of budget deficit, its definition and measurement. The literature review method is adopted in the present study, and research is refined by including selected papers that contain empirical and theoretical studies on budget deficit. Therefore, special-purpose deficit, the so-called “regular” budget deficit, which considers only regular receipts and outlays, has been defined and measured in the present study. This analysis leads to the conclusion that irregular receipts used by the government to engage in large infrastructure projects and/or the politically motivated increase of wage and salary bill and social transfers lead to a budget deficit that has to be financed through public debt. This is a case study of Kosovo and research has been carried out using primary data drawn from Kosovo budget annual financial reports. The implications of the paper may be of high importance for policymakers as well as for academic issues. This is a unique approach to the issues of Kosovo budget deficit and irregular receipts.

Published: August 2018

In den letzten Jahren haben sich am Markt Weine hervorgetan, welche das Image der Natürlichkeit und Nachhaltigkeit verkörpern wollen. Aufgrund einer bis dato fehlenden Begriffsdefinition dieser sogenannten Natural Wines kann sich jeder Winzer als Produzent natürlicher Weine bezeichnen. Das Hauptziel dieser Studie ist es, herauszufinden, wie natürlich verschiedene Produkteigenschaften von Natural-Wines-Konsumenten eingestuft werden und wie hoch die Zahlungsbereitschaft für zusätzliche Natürlichkeitsaspekte ist. Dazu finden die traditionelle Conjoint-Analyse sowie das Preispremiumverfahren der Markenbewertung Anwendung. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die biodynamische Anbauweise und Weine ohne Schwefelzusatz von den Teilnehmern als die natürlichsten Produktattribute wahrgenommen werden. Des Weiteren ist die Mehrpreisbereitschaft der befragten Konsumenten bei Weinen aus biodynamischem Anbau am höchsten.
Effects of two decades of organic and mineral fertilization of arable crops on earthworms and standardized litter decomposition
Authors: Spiegel Heide , Mosleitner Teresa , Sandén Taru , Zaller Johann G.
Published: August 2018

Organic fertilization has been shown to benefit soil biota. A field experiment was established in 1991 at the AGES experimental research station Ritzlhof to investigate the effects of long-term fertilization on soil biota and crop yields. Experimental plots were cultivated using a crop rotation with maize, wheat, barley, and pea. Eight treatments consisted of compost application (urban organic waste, green waste, cattle manure, and sewage sludge compost). Composts were applied exclusively (organic) or amended with mineral nitrogen (N) fertilizers (80 kg N ha−1, organic-mineral) and compared to 0 (control) and mineral (40, 80, and 120 kg N ha−1) fertilization. Earthworm activity and biomass, litter decomposition, crop growth, and yield parameters were investigated under winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in 2014 after uniform mineral fertilization and 1.5 years after the last compost application. Earthworm activity was significantly increased under long-term organic-mineral fertilization compared to the control, whereas earthworm biomass was unaffected by compost application. Litter decomposition rate was highest in the control. Only barley stem growth was affected by fertilization, whereas other barley parameters including yield were unaffected. The results showed that long-term fertilization affects soil biota even if compost is not applied every year.
