Effect of Credible Reviews on Brand Image: A Mixed Method Approach
Authors: Chakraborty Uttam , Bhat Savita
Published: November 2017

Rapid growth of online social media reduces the marketer’s control over brand management. Consumers share their brand-related experiences (through online reviews) in various online social media platforms. It is a major challenge for the marketers to understand the effects of online reviews on a brand’s image. This study addresses the issue and attempts to understand the effects of online reviews on brand image. The concept of brand image is broken up into two parts, namely, functional and hedonic. The study follows a mixed method approach using both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Quantitative techniques have been used to measure the objective experiences of the consumers, whereas qualitative techniques have been used to examine the subjective experiences of the consumers. For quantitative technique, structural equation modelling (SEM) has been adopted to determine the relationships between the variables. For qualitative technique, netnography has been followed. Quantitative data analysis reveals that online credible reviews have more significant effect on hedonic brand image. Qualitative study also shows evidences of functional and hedonic brand images in online community. Future directions for research are mentioned as well.

National Study of Burnout and Career Satisfaction Among Physician Assistants in Oncology: Implications for Team-Based Care
Authors: Tetzlaff Eric Daniel , Hylton Heather Marie , DeMora Lyudmila , Ruth Karen , Wong Yu-Ning
Published: November 2017

Purpose:

A high rate of burnout has been reported in oncology physicians. Physician assistants (PAs) may also face similar risks of burnout. We sought to measure the personal and professional characteristics associated with burnout and career satisfaction and the potential impact on the oncology PA workforce.

Participants and Methods:

A national survey of PAs in oncology was completed by using the Maslach Burnout Inventory from September 2015 to January 2016.

Results:

In all, 855 PAs were contacted and 250 submitted complete surveys (response rate, 29.2%). Respondents were representative of PAs in oncology with a mean age of 41.8 years, females (88.8%), academic practice (55.2%), urban location (61.2%), outpatient (74.4%), medical oncology (75.2%), worked 41 to 50 hours per week (52.8%), and had a mean of 9.6 years as a PA in oncology. Burnout was reported in 34.8% of PAs, 30.4% reported high emotional exhaustion, 17.6% reported high depersonalization, and 19.6% reported a low sense of personal accomplishment. In multivariable analysis, age, time spent on indirect patient care, oncology subspecialty, and relationship with collaborating physician were factors associated with burnout. Career and specialty satisfaction was high (86.4% and 88.8%, respectively). In the next 2 years, only 3.6% of PAs plan to pursue a different career or specialty and only 2.0% plan to retire.

Conclusion:

Despite high career and specialty satisfaction, burnout is reported in one third of PAs in oncology. Further exploration of the relationship between PAs and collaborating physicians may provide insight on methods to decrease burnout. Negligible short-term attrition of the current oncology PA workforce is anticipated.

Authors: Zambrano-Gonzalez Giselle , Ramirez-Gonzalez Gustavo , Almanza-P Martha I.
Published: November 2017

Background: Sericulture, since its discovery in China, has spread to become a valued activity in a range of other countries. China remains the leading producer of silk, followed by India and other Asian countries, Europe, Brazil and Colombia. This article examines the evolution of sericultural research between 1892 and 2016, identifying the main themes and applications.

Methods: The SciMat software tool and the Bibliometrix R package were used as tools for data analysis in this study, based on records from the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science and SCOPUS databases.

Results: The results show that research has been growing, both in number of publications from the 1990s onwards, and in the emergence of topics closely related to the sericulture research field, a field that proves to be multi-disciplinary, exhibiting expansion and vitality.

Conclusions: The information gathered will contribute greatly to the definition of relevant research strands, bearing in mind a number of significant gaps in information in this field. It will furthermore provide a better insight into the development of sericulture research over time.
HISTOCHEMICAL LOCALIZATION OF ACID AND ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE IN TRACHEA EPITHELIUM AT COLD EXPOSURE
Authors: Целуйко Сергей , Tseluyko Sergey , Красавина Надежда , Krasavina Nadezhda
Published: November 2017

The aim of the research is to study the activity of hydrolytic enzymes in epithelium of rats’ trachea under total cooling of the organism. The analysis of the obtained data showed that with a daily three hour total cold exposure of rabbits during 28 days at the temperature of -25~-28ºC, a significant increase in the activity of acidic phosphomonoesterase at the apical pole of the epithelial cells of the tracheal mucosa was observed. Under these experimental conditions, alkaline phosphatase is active in the basal pole of the epithelium and in granules of mast cells migrating through the tracheal epithelium into the lumen of the trachea. There are reasons to believe that the continuation of the adverse effect of low temperatures leads to deep and persistent disturbance of the enzymatic organization of hydrolytic enzymes of epithelial cells, pronounced destabilization of lysosome membranes and the development of destructive changes in ciliate epitheliocytes.
Understanding and managing constipation in older adults
Authors: Nazarko Linda
Published: November 2017

Constipation is a common problem in older adults. Linda Nazarko provides an overview of the causes and how to manage this distressing condition in primary care

Constipation is often considered a trivial complaint; however, the NHS spends around £250 million a year treating this symptom. It leads to 66 287 hospital admissions costing £145 million and primary care spends around £92 million on laxative prescriptions ( Shafe et al, 2011 ; Department of Health, 2014; NHS Information Centre, 2016 ). Older people are more likely to experience constipation than younger people. The prevention and treatment of constipation is more complex in older people; however, we currently lack specific national guidance on this subject. This article outlines the causes of this common symptom, explores normal bowel function and explains what factors can lead to constipation and how these can be identified and treated.
Script development: Defining the field
Authors: Batty Craig , Taylor Stayci , Sawtell Louise , Conor Bridget
Published: November 2017

Through an extensive survey of the field, this article asks, what is script development? How is it defined in industry discourse and in screenwriting scholarship? While definitions of script development can be found across the spectrum of screenwriting and screen production resources, ranging from the instructional guidelines offered by funding bodies to references in the how-to market, the article posits that academic scholarship on the practice is still emerging. As such, this article seeks to establish a platform from which we can both define and conceive of further research into script development – however it might be named, practiced and studied – possibly as a sub-discipline of screenwriting studies and/or central to the study of screenwriting practice. The article brings together extant definitions and documented experiences of script development, to offer a basis from which to discuss both academic and practice-based approaches to the phenomenon. While not suggesting that the practice of script development should be standardized or limited by definition, the article does argue for the importance of investigating the available definitions and identifying the gaps in literature. By seeking out the various angles and overlaps of those researching in this field, the article proposes to begin a conversation and invite further research around what script development is and looks like in various international contexts.
A Educação de Surdos: Formação de Professores na Língua Brasileira de Sinais (LIBRAS)
Authors: Araújo Andrea Silva , Menezes Aurelania Maria De Carvalho , Araújo Aline Cássia Silva
Published: November 2017

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar, descrever e analisar os artigos científicos relacionados a importância da educação de surdos na formação de professores. Foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica nas bases de dados de revistas científicas, notas técnicas e monografias, dissertações e teses, em Programas de Graduação em Pedagogia e Pós-Graduação em Letras/Libras, com embase temporal entre 1999 a 2017. Após a investigação da revisão de literatura e leitura do conteúdo, conclui-se que a educação para os surdos foi conquistada com muita luta, principalmente no que se refere ao preconceito, pois, durante muito tempo, os surdos eram considerados pessoas doentes e motivadores de vergonha dentro da familia e da sociedade, com isso, eram comuns encontrar um surdo abandonado. Destaca-se como a primeira escola de surdos, fundada no Brasil, o “Imperial Instituto dos Surdos-Mudos”, atualmente, “Instituto Nacional de Educação de Surdos” – INES. Além dessa conquista, destaca-se também, como um marco para educação de surdos, a criação da Lei nº 10.436, de 24 de Abril de 2002, que estabelece o reconhecimento da LIBRAS como a língua oficial utilizada pelas comunidades Surdas. Dessa forma, a formação de professores em libras é fundamental para atingir o objetivo da lei. Contudo, ainda é necessário que seja aprimorado o ensino de professores em libras, que apesar de existir 55 cursos de graduação e 375 de pós-graduação, são considerados poucos, devido a enorme demanda.

Authors: Farias Athena De Albuquerque , Garcia Joelma Dos Santos Barbosa Linhares , Freire Raphael Rocha
Published: November 2017

As discussões sobre o tema Inclusão social, tem repercutido em todo o mundo, como mobilizadora de outros importantes movimentos sociais, que implicaram em ações políticas, não menos impactantes. Dessa forma, gradativamente as sociedades democráticas passaram a divulgar, discutir e defender a inclusão como direito de todos, em relação aos diversos espaços sociais. A evolução dos estudos sobre a Lei 13.146/15 são bem recentes, tendo em vista que a promulgação desta lei somente aconteceu efetivamente em 2016. Portanto há aproximadamente dois anos. As escolas são espaços responsáveis pelo processo de formação dos jovens por meio de reflexões críticas. Abrangem aspectos teóricos, técnicos, éticos e morais, que encontram-se implicados na vida em sociedade, conforme a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (1996). Portanto, é preciso que se compreenda principalmente a ética implicada neste contexto, de forma que se promova uma vida de relacionamentos mais agradável e, compartilhada em conformidade com os valores humanos básicos, tais como solidariedade, justiça e responsabilidade.

Published: November 2017

Background : In 2013, the prevalence of stunting and severe stunting in Brebes reached 26.9 % and 16.8 %. These prevalences of stunting were higher than the stunting prevlence in Central Java Province (11.0%). This study aimed to determine risk factors of stunting among children aged 12-24 months in Brebes District.Methods: This research was conducted with a case-control design on 77 cases (stunting) and 77 controls (normal) in Brebes Subdistrict. Data on birth weight, birth length, infection history, pesticide exposure were obtained through interviews, using structured questionnaires. The analysis was conducted by calculating Odd Ratios and logistic regressions.Results : Multivariate results showed that the risk factors of stunting in children aged 12-24 months in Brebes  subdistrict were low energy adequacy levels (OR =7.71; 95%CI: 3.63-16.3; p=0.001), low protein adequacy levels (OR=7.65 ; 95%CI:3.67-15.9, p=0.001); low zinc adequacy levels (OR=8.78; 95%CI:3.53-21.5, p=0,001); low birth weight (OR=3.63; 95%CI:1.65-7.96; p=0.002) and high exposure to pesticides (OR=8.48; 95%CI:3.93-18.28; p=0,001). These three variables are contributing to stunting of 45 %. Low compliance of vitamin A capsule consumption, the frequencies of diarrhea respiratory infection were not the risk factors for stunting in this study.Conclusions: The risk factors of stunting among children aged 12-24 months were low energy adequacy levels, low protein adequacy levels, low zinc adequacy levels, low birth weight and high exposure to pesticides. The highest risk was the high pesticide exposure.

How to Build a Local Brand Through Local Sustainability
Authors: Dončić Siniša Hajdaš , Đurek Nikola
Published: November 2017

In this paper it will be shown how to build a local brand through the model of local sustainability. Territorial assets as a local activity and informal rules for a joint work of a community are taken as starting points in brand creation.

The operational hypothesis is to present the building of a local community brand though the created model which consists of four components of local community sustainability: spatial – ecological sustainability, economic - social sustainability, humanistic – cultural sustainability and political – institutionalized sustainability (in the text: SEESHCPI model). The SEESHCPI model is also used in building and creation of the brand of the municipality of SvetiKrižZačretje. Even though the brand has to be the starting point for a sustainable tourist development of the place this is not its main purpose.

Authors: Adhim Ma’dan Haikal , Zainuddin Ahmad , Putranto Trisnadi Widyaleksono Catur , Irawan Bambang , Soegianto Agoes
Published: November 2017

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of sub-lethal lead concentrations on serum osmolality, Na+ and Cl− levels, and hematological parameters in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.) at different salinity levels. The serum osmolalities (SO) were not significantly different at any of the salinity levels in the control fish, while in Pb-exposed fish the SO increased with increasing salinity. The concentrations of serum Na+ and Cl− in both the control and Pb-exposed fish increased with increasing salinity. The levels of red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), and hematocrit (Ht) in the control fish were not significantly different at any of the salinity levels. Meanwhile, the levels of RBC, Hb, and Ht in Pb-exposed fish increased with increasing salinity levels. The levels of RBC (at 0 and 5 ppt) and Ht (at 0, 5 and 10 ppt) in Pb-exposed fish were lower than in the control fish. The levels of Hb in Pb-exposed fish were lower than in the control fish at all salinity levels. The levels of WBC in the control fish increased with increasing salinity, while its levels in the Pb-exposed fish decreased with increasing salinity. The levels of WBC in the Pb-exposed fish were higher than in the control fish at 0 and 5 ppt.
Library Publishing and the University Press in the United States and Germany: Lessons from Two Academic Contexts for Sustaining the Scholarly Book
Authors: Bargheer Margo , Walker Kizer
Published: November 2017

Many academic libraries have embraced an active publishing role in recent years, an important component in libraries’ efforts to address mounting pressures throughout the scholarly communications cycle. Libraries in the United States and Germany have been especially assertive in this arena. This article focuses on one particular aspect of libraries’ publishing efforts in Germany and the U. S.: interventions to make the production and dissemination of the scholarly book (in print and electronic formats) more economically sustainable and its content more open. This article discusses the role of the scholarly book for early-career researchers in the humanities and social sciences and reflects on intercontinental differences. The article considers the library efforts in the context of broader, university-based publishing activities in both national contexts, particularly the relationship of library publishing and university presses. The authors discuss how differences and commonalities between the academic and economic contexts in the U. S. and Germany have led to institutional responses that diverge and converge in significant ways and they suggest that such a comparison can usefully inform scholarly communications strategies in both countries. The article considers broad national trends and also draws on examples from the authors’ home institutions: the State and University Library at Göttingen and Cornell University Library in Ithaca, New York.

Obstacles in using a computer screen for steady-state visually evoked potential stimulation
Authors: Olze Katharina , Jan Wehrmann Christof , Mu Luyang , Schilling Meinhard
Published: November 2017

In brain computer interface (BCI) applications, the use of steady-state visually evoked potentials (SSVEPs) is common. Therefore, a visual stimulation with a constant repetition frequency is necessary. However, using a computer monitor, the set of frequencies that can be used is restricted by the refresh rate of the screen. Frequencies that are not an integer divisor of the refresh rate cannot be displayed correctly. Furthermore, the programming language the stimulation software is written in and the operating system influence the actually generated and presented frequencies. The aim of this paper is to identify the main challenges in generating SSVEP stimulation using a computer screen with and without using DirectX in Windows-based PC systems and to provide solutions for these issues.
Three-dimensional flat shell-to-shell coupling: numerical challenges
Authors: Guo Kuo , Haikal Ghadir
Published: November 2017

The node-to-surface formulation is widely used in contact simulations with finite elements because it is relatively easy to implement using different types of element discretizations. This approach, however, has a number of well-known drawbacks, including locking due to over-constraint when this formulation is used as a twopass method. Most studies on the node-to-surface contact formulation, however, have been conducted using solid elements and little has been done to investigate the effectiveness of this approach for beam or shell elements. In this paper we show that locking can also be observed with the node-to-surface contact formulation when applied to plate and flat shell elements even with a singlepass implementation with distinct master/slave designations, which is the standard solution to locking with solid elements. In our study, we use the quadrilateral four node flat shell element for thin (Kirchhoff-Love) plate and thick (Reissner-Mindlin) plate theory, both in their standard forms and with improved formulations such as the linked interpolation [1] and the Discrete Kirchhoff [2] elements for thick and thin plates, respectively. The Lagrange multiplier method is used to enforce the node-to-surface constraints for all elements. The results show clear locking when compared to those obtained using a conforming mesh configuration.
Don Quixote’s Quixotic Trauma Therapy: A Reassessment of Cervantes’s Canonical Novel and Trauma Studies
Authors: LaLonde Suzanne
Published: November 2017

This article presents a non-canonical reading of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra’s canonical novel Don Quixote. Using a trauma theory lens (from both cultural studies and psychiatry) to understand the pre-Don Quixote character Alonso Quijano, this research first advances several new arguments as to why Quijano appears to have endured a traumatic experience of ageing. Instead of interpreting his obsessive behaviour as madness, it is argued that he engages in a form of both individual and collective therapy consisting of reading to educate himself about emotions; engaging the body in adventures; listening to others’ stories of traumatic suffering; and stimulating “empathic unsettlement” toward others and his previously traumatized self, one of the main critical suggestions advanced. This article takes an original turn in trauma studies too by putting forward that Quijano’s therapy is effective because it addresses the “central dialectic of psychological trauma.” He embarks on an imaginative and collective adventure of self-identity, transforming himself into another who is exempt from the traumatic experience; he knows without knowing and speaks without speaking. His trauma therapy occurs outside the reality of trauma or inside the “unreality” of creative expression, and this is how he endures a traumatic experience of ageing.
Key Aspects of a Balanced Regional Development of the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Leković Vlastimir
Published: November 2017

The main goal of the research presented in this paper is to point to the benefits of a balanced regional development, as well as the mechanism of its implementation, based on the analysis of the current situation relating to the regional development of the Republic of Serbia, which is characterised by the greatest regional disparities in Europe, that even show the tendency of further deepening. The importance of a consistent and comprehensive development strategy of the country that would include reindustrialisation and full employment policy as a means of initiating dynamic economic growth and achieving sustainable development of the national economy and its regions is emphasised. This position is justified, primarily, due to the fact that, despite its crucial importance, regional development has never been understood as an integral part of the overall socio-economic development, therefore, this issue, owning to a lack of institutional and systemic approach is constantly being marginalised. In the analysis of the key aspects of a balanced regional development in Serbia, based on the study of different theoretical views and practical experiences regarding this important social and economic development issue, the method of the analytical description was primarily used.
Transformation of Coordination Mechanisms in Companies Due to New Technologies: Evidence from Empirical Research
Authors: Lukić Jelena
Published: November 2017

Throughout the history, technology was the key factor in the organisation of working processes and designing organisations. Today, many new forms of information and communication technologies lead to many benefits in designing organisations and impact on all parameters of organisational structure. The aim of this paper is to examine how new development forms of modern ICT technologies – Big Data impact on coordination mechanisms, one of the most important parameter of organisational structure. For the purpose of the paper, empirical research was conducted with specially designed questionnaire which was filled by 214 companies worldwide that use Big Data technologies. Results conducted from empirical research showed that companies that use those technologies have implemented many changes in coordination mechanisms in companies. The most important research results are that all available data were integrated in companies, while working processes, activities and decisions were automated. Due to the application of Big Data technologies coordination mechanisms in companies obtained completely new characteristics. Consequently, with improved coordination mechanisms companies were able to improve their strategic and operational activities.
Young white Afrikaans speakers in South Africa: A case of liminal identity?
Authors: Álvarez-Mosquera Pedro
Published: November 2017

Studies on post-apartheid South Africa have revealed the persistence of important social challenges in this country. From a sociolinguistic viewpoint, the ethnic diversity and the co-existence of the eleven official languages seem to play an important role in the identity formation of South Africans and the development of intergroup relations. Against the background of key socio-historical events, this article investigates the situation of young white Afrikaans South Africans. It is hypothesized that individuals belonging to this particular ethno-linguistic group represent a case of
Perturbatory narration in literature und film
Authors: Schlickers Sabine
Published: November 2017

Perturbatory narration is a new transmedial narratological concept conceived in order to analyze how innovative experimental fictional texts irritate the reader or spectator by transgressing or annulating the rules of the common narrative system. We distinguish three ludic narrative techniques which are sometimes even mutually exclusive, but nevertheless frequently combined in literary and filmic fiction. Perturbatory narration serves to model and systematize a narrative principle which combines devices of these three strategies, in particular of unreliable narration, paradoxical narration and puzzling narration. The dynamic interplay of these devices is illustrated with two short stories by Julio Cortázar, “Continuidad de los parques”/“The continuity of parks” (1964) and “Graffiti” (1980) and the filmic adaptationFuria(1999) of the latter.

What Happens in a Youth Community of Learning When Mobile Technology Is Implemented? The Case of a Finnish Evangelical-Lutheran Church Confirmation Training
Authors: Ojala Eveliina
Published: November 2017

The aim of this article is to discuss confirmation training from the perspective of mobile technology and social media. Previous research has focused on comparing confirmation training practices implemented in different Lutheran Churches. This article contributes to this research area by providing a new viewpoint to the discussion. Results indicate that (1) workers, in particular, received new ways of working with enthusiasm, (2) but the actual use of mobile devices and social media like Facebook proved to be low and not innovative, and (3) mobile technology cannot be integrated into confirmation training until new content and methods that are meaningful to young people have been developed.

Evaluation of seismic signals is one of the most important research topics on Volcanology. Volcanoes have daily activity; therefore, high speed evaluation of recorded signals is a challenge for improving the study of the natural phenomena occurring inside these natural formations. The aim of this paper is the evaluation (denoising, localization and classification) and analysis of Llaima volcano activities, one of the most actives volcanoes in South America. Different already proposed methods, such as, Butterworth, Spectral Subtraction (SS) and Wiener Filter (WF) are compared to the proposed Modified Spectral Subtraction (MSS) and Modified Wiener Filter (MWF) to find the best method for denoising the volcano signals. Then, event localization based on received signals of volcano is performed. In this step, Time Delay Estimation (TDE)-based method is used on data acquired from 3 mechanical sensors located in the volcano area. The proposed method is used to estimate the area for event location. The proposed denoising methods make the starting point for the event more evident to increase the localization accuracy for events where the starting point is difficult to find. In the last step, a method based on the novel DNN technique is proposed to classify the three main events occurring in the Llaima volcano (TR (Tremor), LP (Long Period) and VT (Volcano Tectonic)).
Reactive power in circuits with sampled resistive load
Authors: Stork Milan , Mayer Daniel
Published: November 2017

The process of power transmission lines, from source to load is a well-known, if the voltages and currents vary harmonically. With the lines is transmitted active power that is dissipated in load (this power exits from the system) and reactive power (this power oscillates between the source and the load). Note that it would be more appropriate designation the external power and the internal power. Such systems are known as cyclo-dissipative. The active power is dissipated in the load and the reactive power oscillates between the source and the load. Physically, reactive power is delivered to reactive elements of load. Transmitting reactive power increases Joule’s losses and voltage drops on lines. Reactive power can be compensated in a known manner. Compensation reduces the effective value of the current in the line. To the case of periodic but non-sinusoidal voltages and currents has been devoted many publications, conferences, etc. during the past 100 years. But despite much e ort, this problem has not yet been fully solved. In the present article, we show that in a system with a harmonic source of voltage even in the case of a linear pure resistive load a reactive power can be generated and can be compensated. A necessary, but not sufficient, condition is that the resistive load is time-varying. The presented study deals with a periodically sampled resistive load.

Published: November 2017

We report an improvement of the artificial neural network (ANN) modelling of a piezoelectric actuator vibration based on the experimental data. The controlled vibrations of an actuator were obtained by utilizing the swept-sine signal excitation. The peak value in the displacement signal response was measured by a laser displacement sensor. The piezoelectric actuator was modelled in both linear and nonlinear operating range. A consistency from 90.3 up to 98.9% of ANN modelled output values and experimental ones was reached. The obtained results clearly demonstrate exact linear relationship between the ANN model and experimental values.
A Faster Kind of Photojournalism?
Authors: Nilsson Maria
Published: November 2017

This article examines factors influencing the editorial processing of photographs, the impact of photojournalistic practices on those processes as well as perceptions of images. Perspectives on visual gatekeeping and the news value of photographs were applied to a newsroom and interview study with a specific focus on photographs for the main news section of a Swedish newspaper. Findings identified routines, publication formats and resources as key factors, with some challenges posed by mobile publication formats and a focus on routine news. Photo editors were found to have a key function asserting expertise in a shared and interactive process. Yet changing routines and a reduced visual expertise on weekends were found to result in some lower image quality. While the ‘observed moment’ appeared to remain a photojournalistic ideal among visual gatekeepers, there were divergent perceptions found of the current and future functions of the news photograph.
