The influence of eleven Ps: An internal marketing and brand awareness perspective in a service environment
Authors: Conradie E S , Roberts-Lombard M , Klopper H B
Published: January 2019

Service organisations, of which car rental companies are an example, play a vital role in South Africaâ€™s economy, contributing 74% to the countryâ€™s gross domestic product (GDP) (Department of Trade and Industry 2009) . Car rental companies, like many other service organisations, operate in a complex and extremely competitive environment. The employees of car rental companies are their most important asset. They require special attention to ensure their loyalty and commitment to deliver service excellence to customers. The brandâ€™s image depends on the role employees play in delivering the service (Wilson, Zeithaml, Bitner & Gremler 2012: 249). The aim of this research was to provide guidance to South African car rental companies to improve their respective brand awareness, enabling them to expand their customer bases whilst retaining existing customers. The influence of the 11 internal marketing mix elements (product, price, place, promotion, people, processes, physical evidence, personal relationships, packaging, positioning and performance) on South African car rental customersâ€™ perception of brand awareness (brand recognition, trustworthiness, overall evaluation and loyalty) was investigated using structural equation modelling. Recommendations emanating from the findings include continual training of employees, communication with employees, rewarding employees and participation of employees in strategic discussions.
The relationship between key demographic profile descriptors and the propensity for inshopping and outshopping by Sowetan residents
Authors: Strydom J W
Published: January 2019

Soweto was one of the largest disadvantaged townships in South Africa, and a unique pattern of outshopping originated due to the lack of retail investment and development in the area. After 1994, Soweto as a township benefited more than any other South African township through retail development, resulting in a major shift in shopping patterns towards buying inside the township (inshopping). This change in shopping pattern provides the focus of the research problem, namely to understand the changes in buying behaviour and certain retail patronage practices of Sowetan residents. The main aim of the study was to investigate, firstly, the profile of inshoppers and outshoppers and, secondly, to examine the relationship between certain profile components (education, income, car ownership and duration of residency) and (i) inshopping, and (ii) outshopping propensity as examples of changes in retail patronage in the Soweto township. In this study, a descriptive research design was used. A disproportionate stratified sample of Soweto households was selected and interviewed, consisting of 690 households spread over 11 sub-areas of Soweto. There is a marked difference between the profiles of in- and outshoppers living in Soweto in terms of income and educational levels, car ownership and duration of residency in the area. The value and contribution of the study lies in the fact that some of these findings correlate with findings in other countries of the world; however, there are also a number of major differences in the profiles. South African investors and retailers should take cognisance of these differences and adapt their retail strategies accordingly in their efforts to market successfully in the Soweto market.

Government Support of Export Crediting: Implementation of the OECD Recommendations
Authors: Melnichuk M. V.
Published: January 2019

Despite the ongoing sanction regimes, the Russian Federation is seeking to enhance the competitiveness of tradable goods and, hence, expand the international trade, increase exports and provide legal support for export crediting as a guarantee for maintaining the active trade balance of the country. until now the regulatory framework for export crediting in the Russian Federation is not complete: certain provisions of the Russian and international law related to the area under study need harmonization. In this paper, the author examines the compliance of the terms of the OECD Arrangement on Officially Supported Export Credits with the regulatory framework governing export crediting in the Russian federation. The paper analyzes the Russian legislation, strategic planning documents and in-house documents of organizations that form the national export support system. The analysis revealed the lack of legislative consolidation of export development in the Russian Federation, with regulatory issues reflected in non-core documents. The problem solution lies in improving the regulatory framework for support of export crediting so as to reduce the country risk and enhance the national competitiveness.
Study of the Administrative Barriers Influence on the Small Innovative Enterprises Activity of the RAS Institutes
Authors: Pimonova S. A. , Chudaikina O. A.
Published: January 2019

The problem of inefficient activity of small innovative enterprises (SIE) is one of the reasons for the slow development of scientific institutions, including the RAS institutes. The state is gradually reducing their funding, forcing the management of institutions to seek the commercialization of the created intellectual property (IP). Many factors influence the activities of SIEs, such as legislative, personnel, financial, infrastructure, information and others, but administrative barriers are among the most significant. Within the framework of this study, the influence of each administrative factor on the activities of existing spin-off companies of RAS institutes is being studied. Among the main tasks of this work, a detailed analysis of Russian and foreign literature on the topic of research, the study of administrative barriers, as well as carrying an expert survey of the RAS institutes representatives in order to identify the most significant factors for the activities of SIEs can be mentioned. An expert poll was conducted by phone with a preliminarily prepared list of questions. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that it is exactly regulatory barriers, which require the most attention. This area demands to develop a measure set to improve their effectiveness. An important risk factor is the intellectual property weak protection, which not only deprives innovation of the opportunity to be realized, but also contributes to the leakage of technology. This problem is proposed to be solved by introducing a procedure for preliminary patent applications. In addition, it is important to continuously improve the level of knowledge in the field of patenting, intellectual property rights and entrepreneurship by research organizations. The abovementioned methods are only part of a large set of measures to reduce some of the administrative barriers in the process of commercializing innovation.

Authors: Laptev G. D. , Shaytan D. K.
Published: January 2019

A high percentage of failures of new products is considerably associated with management issues at the initial, with a large amount of uncertainty, stage of product development. Taking into account the fact that the characteristics and functionality of the future product are determined exactly at the initial stage, the management of the process here is of decisive importance. In the digital transformation process, companies rethink the product development management process and, correspondingly, the competence model of product managers. The purpose of the paper is to identify the key competencies (qualities, personal characteristics and abilities allowing to carry out professional activity key tasks) of the digital era product managers, as well as testing the design and project approaches in developing their competencies. Getting primary information about the main professional tasks was provided through in-depth interviews with successful product managers from the following industries: internet and telecommunications, software, pharma and finance. Two typical profiles/types of product managers were identified and called «technologically-oriented» and «business-oriented». As a result of the empirical research the key universal competencies of product managers to manage innovative products development effectively have been revealed. The partial overlap with the competences of innovation entrepreneurs, identified earlier, was discovered. for the development of key competencies, the innovation training program was developed and tested. The statistical analysis results showed that project based learning in combination with design thinking, Lean Startup & Customer Development, as well as modern digital rapid prototyping technique application, provide positive dynamics in the development of revealed key competencies for beginning product managers.

Authors: Kaya Elizabet
Published: January 2019

Nitrogen is a major nutrient for plant growth, nitrogen was absorbed by plant roots in the form of NO3-(nitrate) and NH4+ (ammonium). Nitrogen deficiency affects negatively on plants, like stunted plant, leaf turns yellow, and limited rooting system, while excess nitrogen causes elongated vegetative growth, easy to fall down, reduce the grain quality and its response to pests and diseases. The purpose of this study is to determine the available soil-N, plant N uptake and growth as well as the yield of paddy rice (Oryza sativa L) due to the treatment of straw compost and NPK fertilizer. Treatment was carried out in a factorial experiment designed in randomized block design, the straw compost factor consisted of  two dose levels: 0 and 3.0 ton ha-1 and NPK fertilizer factor consisted of five dose levels: 0, 75, 150, 225, and 300 kg ha-1 with three replications. Research findings indicated that the amendment of straw compost together with NPK fertilizer increased the plant uptake of N, but straw compost improved independently the soil-N, and plant growth (plant height and number of tillers/clump). Likewise, NPK fertilizer independently increased soil-N, growth parameter (plant height and number of tillers/clump) and grain yield (number of grains/panicle and number of filled grain/panicle). The straw compost amendment at 3 tons ha-1 along with 150 kg NPK ha-1 resulted the highest N-uptake of 3.51%.

Penyebab terjadinya infeksi pada usia lanjut banyak disebabkan oleh karena adanya adanya penyakit komorbid kronik, penurunan daya tahan atau imunitas tubuh terhadap infeksi, penurunan kemampuan komunikasi pada usia lanjut sehingga jarang didapatkan keluhan serta sulitnya mengenal tanda infeksi secara dini. Infeksi pada usia lanjut tidak hanya lebih sering terjadi dan lebih berat, namun juga memiliki kekhususan terkait presentasi klinis, laboratorium maupun mikrobiologi. Tujuan dari tinjauan ini adalah untuk memberikan gambaran mengenai predisposisi penyakit infeksi pada usia lanjut, gangguan respon imun pada usia lanjut (immunesenescence), pendekatan diagnosis dan tatalaksana yang tepat pada kasus infeksi pada usia lanjut. Kata kunci                  : infeksi, usia lanjut, gangguan respon imunKorespondensi             : drkartikaprahasanti@gmail.com
EQUIVALENTS OF THE PASSIVE EIGHT-EARTH POLAR WITH THREE INPUT AND FIVE OUTPUT CONCLUSIONS
Authors: Bolshanyn G. A.
Published: January 2019

Eight-poles of various designs, including an eight-terminal network with three input and five output terminals, are needed to replace some power objects. Especially when only the input and output characteristics of electrical energy are of interest. The paper presents the eightterminal network equations with three input and five output terminals, establishing a connection between these characteristics. Equations of the A-form establish a connection between the input and output voltages and currents; the B-form equations establish a connection between the output and input voltages and currents; G-form equations establish a connection between the input current, output voltages and output voltage, output currents; H-form equations establish the relationship between the input voltage, output currents and output current, output voltages; the Yform equations establish a connection between the input and output currents and the input and output voltages; The Z-form equations establish the relationship between the input and output voltages and the input and output currents. When implementing these equations, attention should be paid to the difference in the directions of the currents in each individual case.

Published: January 2019

Known methods of testing supports create longitudinal and transverse static load applied to the support. In real conditions the majority of the damage of the supports is connected with the influence on them of dynamic loads, which can exceed the static. The proposed method allows to conduct experimental studies of cascade processes of destruction of anchor site due to a wire breakage, when the potential energy of the tension wires is converted into a dynamic influence on the design of supports.
CARNOT AND PHILIPS HEAT ENGINES IN VIEW OF THE THEORY OF THERMODYNAMIC POTENTIALS
Authors: Kiselev V. G.
Published: January 2019

A study has been made of the Philips and Carnot cycles based on the modernized physicochemical model of "ideal gas", which utilizes the theory of thermodynamic potentials and assumes the presence of chemical energy. The feasibility study of the Phillips and Carnot heat engines using the thermodynamic potential method is substantiated by plotting the diagrams of the dependence of the internal energy and Helmholtz energy on the absolute temperature and their comparison with the usual pressure-volume diagrams. This method is compared with traditional approach to analysis of cyclic processes. Based on the analysis carried out, the results are similar to those obtained in the study of these processes in the traditional way. On the other hand, the use of new research methods has a significant advantage, since it allows direct use of the activity of the substance (gas) and the entire arsenal of chemical thermodynamics for the analysis of cyclic processes, for example, in the thermal machines of Philips and Carnot.

Authors: Lipantyev R. E. , Tutubalina V. P.
Published: January 2019

The effect of the rotation number of the propeller mixer on the concentration of sulfoxide sulfur in the oil fraction of Arlan oil during the oxidation of this fraction sulfides with hydrogen peroxide along with an acid catalyst, a mixture of formic and sulfuric acids in a mixing reactor, was studied. The dependences of the concentration of sulfoxide sulfur in the oil fraction and the reaction rate of the oxidation of the fraction sulfides to sulfoxides are obtained experimentally depending on the intensity of heterogeneous blend mixing in the blending reactor.
Opioids, Benzodiazepines and Z-Drugs: Alberta Physicians' Attitudes and Opinions upon Receipt of their Personalized Prescribing Profile

Published: January 2019

Opioid prescriptions have been monitored by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) since 1986, and benzodiazepine prescriptions since 2015. Recently the CPSA developed the “MD Snapshot-Prescribing Profile,” a feedback intervention consisting of a personalized report for physicians to see how many opioids and/or benzodiazepines they have prescribed to their patients. The aim of this study was to determine the attitudes and opinions of physicians in Alberta who received their prescribing profile from the CPSA in December 2016. Following mail-out of the prescribing profile, an online survey was emailed to recipients (n=8,213). The mixed survey asked five closed-ended questions, and an open-ended question asking for comments. Results from the closed-ended questions were compiled via Survey Monkey and responses to the open-ended question were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis method. Total survey response rate was 27% (n=2,148). More than half of physician-respondents indicated that they plan to make changes to their prescribing practice based on the prescribing profile and two-thirds of respondents found the information in the prescribing profile useful. Responses to the open-ended question were mixed. Physicians' attitudes and opinions regarding the receipt of their prescribing profile are diverse. Most recipients found benefit in their profile, and plan to use forthcoming versions as a useful instrument in their practices. Given the high rates of opioid/benzodiazepine prescriptions and related opioid epidemic, the MD Snapshot-Prescribing Profile is an innovative and important tool that can assist in improving physician prescribing practices.

Authors: Giles D. , Saiprabha V.N. , Yeshna G.
Published: January 2019

The present work deals with the design of 7-azaindole derivatives for its Raf-B inhibition. All the designed compounds follows Lipinski’s rule of five. In silico ADME predictions of all the designed compounds suggests that none of the compounds have problem with bioavailability. The compounds were designed on the binding affinity towards the Raf-B inhibition. It was observed that few of the designed compounds were found to have significant interaction with the active site of the receptor. The compounds possessing 3-hydroxyl-2-methyl as substitution in chalcone was found to possess maximum docking score than other designed compounds.
The ReproRubric: Evaluation Criteria for the Reproducibility of Computational Analyses
Authors: Thorpe Brandon
Published: January 2019

The computational reproducibility of analytic results has been discussed and evaluated in many different scientific disciplines, all of which have one finding in common: analytic results are far too often not reproducible. There are numerous examples of reproducibility guidelines for various applications, however, a comprehensive assessment tool for evaluating the individual components of the research pipeline was unavailable. To address this need, COS developed the ReproRubric, which defines multiple Tiers of reproducibility based on criteria established for each critical stage of the typical research workflow - from initial design of the experiment through final reporting of the results.
The Union as Broker of Employment Rights
Authors: Schwab Stewart J.
Published: January 2019

Most employment-law rights are mandatory. Individual workers cannot decline the protections the law gives them. For example, a nonexempt worker must get at least $7.25 per hour and time-and-a-half for overtime, even if she would agree to less. A worker’s pension must vest within five years. If she is injured on the job, a worker is entitled to compensation through a state system and cannot opt out in advance.Interestingly, in these examples and others like them, the law forces its protection only on nonunionized workers. Unions in a collective bargaining contract can bargain away these rights, acting as broker in return for something more valuable to their workers.This chapter examines the choice between waivable and mandatory employee rights and, in particular, whether some rights should be mandatory for individual workers but subject to negotiation by labor unions. Section I sets the stage with two examples. Section II explores why most employee rights are mandatory. Section III asks whether unions should be allowed to waive (or broker, to use a more palatable term) employee rights even when individuals cannot. Section IV documents the large degree to which current employment law already has this feature of mandatory individual rights that unions can broker. Section V then explores whether unions and society should welcome the role of union as broker.Schwab, Stewart Jon, The Union as Broker of Employment Rights (2012).

Corticospinal excitability to the biceps and triceps brachii during forward and backward arm cycling is direction- and phase-dependent
Authors: Nippard Anna , Lockyer Evan , Button Duane , Power Kevin
Published: January 2019

The purpose of this study was to evaluate corticospinal excitability to the biceps and triceps brachii during forward (FWD) and backward (BWD) arm cycling. Corticospinal and spinal excitability were assessed using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transmastoid electrical stimulation (TMES) to elicit motor evoked potentials (MEPs) and cervicomedullary evoked potentials (CMEPs), respectively. MEPs and CMEPs were recorded from the biceps and triceps brachii during FWD and BWD arm cycling at two positions, 6 and 12 o’clock. The 6 o’clock position corresponded to mid-elbow flexion and extension during FWD and BWD cycling, respectively, while 12 o’clock corresponded to mid-elbow extension and flexion during FWD and BWD cycling, respectively. During the flexion phase, MEP and CMEP amplitudes of the biceps brachii were higher during FWD than BWD cycling. However, during the extension phase, MEP and CMEP amplitudes were higher during BWD than FWD cycling. For the triceps brachii, MEP amplitudes were higher during FWD cycling compared to BWD regardless of phase. However, CMEP amplitudes were phase-dependent. During the flexion phase, CMEPs of the triceps brachii were higher during FWD cycling compared to BWD, but during the extension phase CMEPs were higher during BWD cycling compared to FWD. The data suggests that corticospinal and spinal excitability to the biceps brachii is phase- and direction-dependent. In the triceps brachii, spinal, but not corticospinal, excitability is phase-dependent when comparing FWD and BWD cycling.

Discrimination on Dalit in Karnali and its Impact to Sustainable Development
Authors: Nepali Govinda
Published: January 2019

There is constitutional provision to include the marginalized community i.e. Dalit in every step of development and structure of development but there are negligible representatives from Dalit community those are also targeted from elite Dalit. Inherited caste identity is an important determinant of life opportunities for Dalit communities where they have the historical skill and knowledge that could be advanced for the prosperity. This study asks why addressing development-based inequality and discrimination does not feature in inter-governmental commitments such as the sustainable development goals which clearly focuses on no one left behind in the development process. In order to trace out the political inequality of Dalit and to generalize the findings, both primary and secondary qualitative data have been interpreted and analyzed. The key informant interview method was employed to explore the experiences of Dalit on the current province government political inequality, identity debates, and representation. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the base of inequality in political representative and development process is the mindset of the political leader and more focus on the number of votes rather than the true implementation of the constitutional provision for inclusion. The history of Dalit culture and their deplorable situation in Karnali are suffering from the caste-based discrimination in the name of untouchability.
Prediksi Cacat Software Dengan Teknik Sampel Dan Seleksi Fitur Pada Bayesian Network
Authors: Putri Sukmawati Anggraeni
Published: January 2019

Proses prediksi cacat software telah menjadi bagian penting pada proses pengujian kualitas software. Penelitian ini berfungsi sebagai alternatif bagi praktisi software untuk menentukan prioritas modul software yang akan diuji. Sehingga dapat mengurangi biaya maupun waktu dalam pengujian kualitas software, Sebagai percobaannya, sejak awal para peneliti pada bidang prediksi cacat perangkat lunak ini menggunakan dataset NASA MDP yang bersifat publik. Tetapi, dataset ini memiliki dua kekurangan seperti noise atribut dan ketidak seimbangan kelas. Permasalahan noise atribute dapat diatasi menggunakan algoritma seleksi fitur, seperti Chi Square dan Information Gain. Sementara, permasalahan ketidak seimbangan kelas dapat diatasi menggunakan teknik sampel, seperti RUS (Random Undersampling) dan SMOTE (Synthetic  Minority  Over-sampling Technique). Sehingga pada penelitian ini dilakukan integrasi antara teknik sampel (RUS dan SMOTE) pada algoritma pemilihan atribut (algoritma Information Gain) yang diterapkan pada machine learning Bayesian Network. Machine learning Bayesian Network menurut Lessman merupakan  pengklasifikasi statistik yang  memiliki performa  yang  baik  pada  proses  klasifikasi. Dari hasil percobaan yang dilakukan di empat dataset NASA MDP diperoleh hasil bahwa model SMOTE + IG dapat meningkatkan akurasi pengklasifikasi Bayesian Network hingga rata-rata 0.912 dari 4 dataset NASA MDP yang digunakan.
