Expertise modeling and transportation risk management: an application to container transportation security risk management
Authors: Froufe Sonia , Gningue Mame , Fredouet Charles–Henri
Published: May 2020

Due to the globalization of trade, hundreds of millions containers pass every year through world ports. Such a situation is extremely challenging in terms of securing freight transport operations. However, costs and lead-times are still very important components of supply chains' performance models. Therefore, the drive for enhanced safety and security cannot be made at the expense of these other two factors of competitiveness, and the processes implemented by the global supply chain links, including the maritime port one, should tend to a joint optimization of trade facilitation and operational safety / security.

The research on which this paper feeds back falls within the frame of this mixed performance requirement. More specifically, the paper presents a decision-support system dedicated to managing the risks associated with land and maritime container transportation; this system is based on the modeling of the knowledge of a group of experts, and covers the three phases of risk identification, assessment and avoidance / mitigation.
Investigating a Role of Strategic Sourcing and Organizaiotnal Culture on Mitigating Risk in Supply Chain
Authors: Kim Minkyun , Chai Sangmi
Published: May 2020

The main objective of this study is to investigate an impact of organizational culture on supply chain risk and strategic sourcing. It also examines the relationship between organizational culture and strategic sourcing. By collecting 159 survey responses from supply, executives and managers of U.S. manufacturing firms, it provides empirical evidence that organizational culture and strategic sourcing mitigate supply chain risks. Organizational culture also makes a positive impact on the implementation of strategic sourcing. This study emphasizes the importance of cultural impacts to supply executives and managers in supply chain risk management.
A Simulation Model for Optimal Inventory Level of R.O.K Navy’s Repair Parts
Authors: Jeon Seong-Gyu , Kim Yong Jin
Published: May 2020

The weapon system of The Navy is the small quantity producing system on multiple kinds. It is consisted of various equipment and the subordinate parts of those which can repair the damaged part. The operating procedure concerning warship's repair parts managed under these systems is as follows. Firstly, if demand of repair parts occurs from warship which is the operating unit of weapon, then the Fleet(the repair & supply support battalion) is in charge of dealing with these requests. If certain request from warship is beyond the battalion's capability, it is delivered directly to the Logistic Command. In short, the repair and supply support system of repair parts can be described as the multi-level support system. The various theoretical researches on inventory management of Navy's repair parts and simulation study that reflects reality in detail have been carried out simultaneously. However, the majority of existing research has been conducted on aircraft and tank's repairable items, in that, the studies is woefully deficient in the area concerning Navy's inventory management. For that reason, this paper firstly constructs the model of consumable items that is frequently damaged reflecting characteristics of navy's repair parts inventory management using ARENA simulation. After that, this paper is trying to propose methodology to analyze optimal inventory level of each supply unit through OptQuest, the optimization program of ARENA simulation.
The Interactive Effect of Supply Chain Integration on Performance of International Freight Forwarders
Authors: Bae Hee Sung
Published: May 2020

There are two aims of this research: one is to prove the interactive effect of supply chain integration (SCI) on performance and the other is to ascertain gaps in performance among levels of SCI. The population of this research is international freight forwarders and the collected data is used in testing hypotheses through various analytical methods such as factor analysis, Cronbach’s alpha, cluster analysis, ANOVA, MANOVA, ANCOVA, post hoc analysis and regression analysis. First, the interaction between internal integration and external integration improves customer performance and financial performance. The forwarders improve internal processes following information acquired from customers and the information is shared with logistics service providers, followed by high performance. Second, gaps in performance among levels of SCI are verified. Managers of the forwarders make strategic decision making on the basis of their recognition of environment and, as a result, the forwarders enjoy different performance.
Optimal Provision of Global Public Goods under Uncertainty: Strategic Transfers and Reservations in a Multilateral Treaty Obligation
Authors: Kim Jin , Shim Seung-jin
Published: May 2020

This paper studies the formation and management of an international entity for promoting the provision of global public goods in a setup of international treaties on concessions and reservations. Based on the so-called Vienna Convention by which there can be a discrepancy between the original treaty obligation and the ratified one in the multi-lateral treaty implementation, we construct two-stage mechanisms for international treaties on global public goods; the concession stage and the ratification stage with reservations. We explicitly analyze the optimal reservation levels from the optimal mechanism when the countries face asymmetric information on the preference parameters to global public goods. Specifically, we characterize the environments where the optimal mechanism with dominant-strategy incentive-compatibility and ex-post participation- constraint in the literature of mechanism design exists. The result shows that the sophisticatedly calculated transfers in the principal of quid pro quo control the international concessions and reservations.
Decipher Global Trade Model: the Macroeconomic Policy Implications
Authors: Lee Jong-Eun
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this study is to provide down-to-earth macroeconomic policy implications from the up-to-date estimates of the trade system in the OECD countries. Understanding on the linkages between the world trade mechanism and the macroeconomy is of utmost importance for the post-crisis managements of the world economy, the major points regarding the macroeconomic policy implications are as follows.

(1) For the majority of the OECD countries, fiscal expansion is likely to encourage the world trade when it is designed in the way to increase private consumption, in fact, only in a few countries fiscal expansion can increase the world trade volumes in its own right.

(2) Currency depreciation might be an attractive policy option for improving trade balances in the cases of the 9 OECD countries.

(3) There is a clear evidence of pricing-to-market with cross-country diversity, implying that import or domestic price robustness from the external forces.
Do the Causal Effects of Internal Collaboration and External Collaboration Improve Performance in Supply Chains?
Authors: Bae Hee-sung , Lee Yang-kee
Published: May 2020

There are three aims of this research. One is to verify the mutual effects between internal collaboration and external collaboration, another is to prove performance improvement among different levels of supply chain collaboration, and the third is to analyze gaps between the two viewpoints. The population is Korean FDI firms in China and 208 data are used in the analysis. The data are treated with various methods: exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, SEM, cluster analysis, ANOVA, MANOVA and post hoc analysis. The results are as follows. First, external collaboration and internal collaboration have positive effects on each other, which have a positive effect on performance. This means that efficiency of internal processes is the cause of promoting connection with external processes and information generated from the market is the basis of a variance of internal processes, followed by high performance. Second, service performance improvement is more definite than cost performance improvement among different levels of supply chain collaboration. Firms can achieve more definite results in service performance when they perform supply chain collaboration. Third, this research verifies both the viewpoint of directions of supply chain collaboration and the strategic choice viewpoint of supply chain collaboration to better understand supply chain collaboration. Both viewpoints approach supply chain collaboration from different viewpoints but they do explain the methods for performance improvement.
The Impacts of AFTA on International Trade in Laos
Authors: KEOCHAIYOM Outhai
Published: May 2020

Laos joined ASEAN in 1997 and has practiced the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT) scheme under ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) since 1998. To estimate the effects of AFTA on international trade in Laos, this paper has built a gravity model to analyze the specific effects of AFTA on aggregate international trade volume, import and export in Laos by using bilateral trade data between Laos and 29 partner countries during 2000 and 2012. Binary variables and the size of economy of AFTA are chosen to be the two variables reflecting the effect of AFTA on international trade of Laos. Results indicate that AFTA has positive effects on aggregate international trade volume and import while negative effects on export in Laos.
Analysis of Issues of Vietnam’s Joining the TPP
Authors: Cho Jungran
Published: May 2020

Vietnam has been actively integrated into a multilateral trading system based on its accession to the WTO and the implementation of a series of ASEAN+1 FTAs. Now Vietnam is negotiating to be a member of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, which is a region-wide FTA in the Asia-Pacific region, and a total of 21 working groups have been negotiating 29 chapters of the TPP. This paper tries to assess major issues of Vietnam’s joining the TPP, and to draw policy implications such as initiatives for Vietnam’s acceleration of its renovation and economic restructuring programs; and domestic measures for facilitating FTA implementation by firms and enhancing the country's implementation capacity.
China's New Silk Road: Policies and Implications
Authors: Lee Jun Yeop , Hyun Kisoon , Jin Ling
Published: May 2020

Using the Social Network Analysis(SNA) method, this paper examines inter-country relationships between countries that may be part of the New Silk Road. Based on bilateral-trade data from more than 70 countries, the paper provides a more vivid understanding of overall features and effects of the New Silk Road policy. According to the results, India, Turkey, and Russia have the highest degree centrality, indicating that the success of the New Silk Road policy depends mainly on the ability of the Chinese government to incorporate these countries. Among European countries, only Germany can be successfully incorporated into the New Silk Road network. In addition, Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan show no potential as hubs in the network. Most importantly, China has a dominant position in the New Silk Road network. China's focal and dominating status is also supported by the fact that there is no change in the clustering coefficient in the network, which implies that the Chinese government has to absorb into the system those countries that are less likely to benefit from the policy.
Investment Promotive Effects of Mega-FTAs on the Cooperative Game for Eurasia Initiative
Authors: Hur Nany
Published: May 2020

The policy choices of Eurasian states whether to form a coalition along with the “Eurasia Initiative” can be explained by the cooperative game theory. While the each bilateral relationship before making a binding agreement seems to be a non-cooperative game, the coalitions with many other states through a binding agreement of Mega-FTA would be a cooperative game. Despite the lack of numerical data, this study at least tries to show the possibility of applying the game theory to analyze the “Eurasia Initiative” and it’s the impacts of Mega-FTAs on this ambition. While the Eurasia Initiative necessarily involves some economic projects requiring enough investment promotion, Korea can strategically set up the policies linked with the development of Mega-FTAs. To utilize the investment promotive effect of Mega-FTAs, Korea has to assure that the core of the cooperation game would be the grand coalition of a Mega-FTA. If it continues to search for the best policies to maximize the superadditivity of this cooperative game, Korea will finally be able to achieve the co-promotion of Mega-FTAs and the Eurasia Initiative.
Changing Import Preferences and Their Impact on The Effects of Trade Liberalization
Authors: HANYANG TZU , PANGSU HAN
Published: May 2020

In the last two decades, the dependence of Taiwan’s manufacturing production on imported intermediate inputs has steadily risen. Meanwhile, the market share of imported consumable manufacture products has also increased. The steady rise of both import shares may not be explained by price fact or since the relative import prices have shown no decreasing trend. The scenario of constantly buying more imported goods when they are not cheaper can be treated as a preference change in favor of imported goods, which may be caused by the popularity of outsourcing, increasing product varieties and persistent trade barriers, as literatures indicated. Traditional macroeconomic models primarily consider the price mechanism in their import demand estimates, with no concern for changes in import preferences. Neglecting changing import preferences in a rapid globalization environment may yield biased empirical results. In this article, we incorporate the import preference factor into a single-country Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model and use it firstly to quantify the scale of preferences change and then to test how the preferences change affects the effects of trade policy. The empirical results with and without the concern of import preferences change are compared to yield the scale of bias caused by neglecting the change.
Dry Ports As Extensions of Maritime Deep-Sea Ports: A Case Study of Vietnam
Authors: NGUYEN C L , NOTTEBOOM T
Published: May 2020

This paper focuses on dry port as a key notion in port-hinterland development. We first discuss the concept of dry port by reviewing existing literature. Then, we explore the reasons behind the emergence and development of inland node systems in different geographical, economic and institutional contexts. Next, the paper presents a classification of dry ports based on a multitude of factors and dimensions and the respective benefits to different parties. The study then focuses on the specific characteristics of dry ports and associated transport networks in developing countries.

In the last part, we present a case study on the dry port system in Vietnam by reviewing the seaport and inland transport system and analyzing the current status of inland terminals in Vietnam. To conclude, a SWOT analysis is presented with regard to the development of the dry port network in Vietnam, followed by recommendations for policy makers.

Authors: Chao Ching-Cheng , Chen Fang-Yuan , Yang Ching-Chiao , Chen Chien-Yu
Published: May 2020

The e-freight program launched by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has gradually become a standard specification for international air freight operations. This study examined critical factors affecting air freight forwarders’ decision to adopt the IATA e-freight using a technology-organization-environment model with air freight forwarders in Taiwan as the base. Our findings show that ‘information technology (IT) competence’, ‘trading partner pressure’, ‘government policy’ and ‘competitive pressure’ all have significant positive effects on air freight forwarders’ decision to adopt the e-freight and the top three factors among these are ‘government funding’, ‘government’s active promotion’ and ‘government’s requirement of electronic air waybill (e-AWB)’. Finally, this study proposes strategies that can encourage air freight forwarders to decide on e-freight adoption for the information of relevant oK regyawniozradtison International Air Transport Association (IATA); IATA e-freight; Technology organization environment model; Air freight forwarder
Relationship between a Port’s Reputation, Customer Satisfaction and Customer Loyalty
Authors: Bae Hee-Sung
Published: May 2020

There are two objectives of this study: to analyze gaps in customer satisfaction and to test the customer loyalty gap on the basis of the reputation of Busan New Port. This study identifies the relationships between variables as well as the conceptual and operational definitions using prior research. Data was collected from 93 members of the International Freight Forwarders Association. The reliability and validity of the data was analyzed and the relationships between the variables were tested by analysis of covariance. The results are as follows: First, the reputation of Busan New Port means the abilities in which the port provides valuable benefits to international freight forwarders. The analytical results show that there is a gap in customer satisfaction between high- level and low- level reputation. Second, the levels of reputation are based on the gap in customer loyalty. This means that there are gaps in the friendly attitude of international freight forwarders and sustainable usage on the basis of the varying levels of port reputation.
Study on the Optimal Number of Creditors in Shipping Finance Syndication
Authors: Lee Min-Hwan , Han Jae-Joon
Published: May 2020

The restructuring of shipping and shipbuilding companies in the midst of rapidly shrinking global shipping demand has become a prominent issue in Korea. In shipping finance, loan syndication featuring many creditors surges as the preferred option. However, increasing the numbers of creditors in the syndicate results in two opposite effects. First is the beneficial effect from their enhanced monitoring power. On the other hand, there is the adverse effect resulting from increased difficulty in coordination when syndicate members increase, particularly in bankruptcy. Our aim of this paper is to analyze the role of finance in the shipping and shipbuilder markets, and determine the theoretical optimal number of creditors for the shipping finance syndicate based on Bolton and Scharfstein (1996). The two issues above result from moral hazard and non-verifiability: coordination among many creditors for collection of bonds in case of default, and the enhancement of monitoring private benefit exploitation by the ship-owner during default. Considering the two conflicting forces result from an increase in creditor membership, we draw conclusions on determining the optimal number of creditors by considering trade-offs between these two factors: More creditors are preferred when the monitoring effect dominates. Otherwise, less creditors are preferred.
Social Network Perspective on Trade in Value Added: Focused on the Logistics Industry
Authors: Hyun Kisoon , Lee Junyeop
Published: May 2020

This paper examines the network dynamics of the cross-border trades utilizing Social Network Analysis (SNA) based on data obtained from the WTO-OECD Trade in Value Added database from 2000-2011. The main results of this paper are as follows: regarding the top 10 in-degree centrality industries, industries in China, Germany, and the U.S. have emerged as the largest importers of foreign value added, implying that the global production network is dominated by two different types of industries. The first type includes processing and assembling functions in China and Germany. The other type of industry involves foreign value added largely for domestic final demand in the U.S. Secondly, there are also two types of brokerage roles. U.S. industries are operating in a liaison role, while Chinese and German industries are mostly operating as coordinator or gatekeeper. Thirdly, manufacturing industries in China and Germany which have emerged as higher in-degree centrality incur a large portion of their value added from the logistics industry. This suggests that those leading industries with the highest characteristics of hubness in the global production network cannot sustain their network status without efficient utilization of the logistics industry.
Horizontal Intra-Industry Trade in Korea: A Dynamic Panel Data Analysis
Authors: Doanh Nguyen Khanh , Heo Yoon
Published: May 2020

This study investigates the patterns and determinants of Korea’s horizontal intra-industry trade by employing a dynamic panel data analysis. The main findings of the study are as follows. An increase in the market size of both trading partners is associated with a higher level of horizontal intra-industry trade. Dissimilar economic sizes and per capita incomes have a negative effect on trade in horizontally differentiated products. Geographical distance and trade imbalance serve as obstacles to horizontal intra-industry trade. These findings have policy implications for reconsidering the orientation of promoting trade. Inclusive economic growth in the region, taking advantage of neighboring nations and making efforts to reduce trade imbalances between trading economies, can accelerate further trade expansion through horizontal intra-industry trade.
Estimations Viability of LCCs Business Model in Korea
Authors: Hong Seock-Jin , Domergue François
Published: May 2020

The Korean airline industry continues to change in 20-year cycles structurally. The major changes are in their market through deregulation and liberalization resulting in adding more carriers, especially low-cost carriers (LCCs) from 2006. The authors categorize three types of LCCs in Korea: (1) independent LCCs, (2) LCCs subsidized by existing airlines as airlines-within-airlines (AwAs), and (3) LCCs supported by conglomerates and local governments. Independent LCCs have suffered financially during the research period from 2009 to 2013, especially from the impaired capital, even though these LCCs are growing rapidly and expanding their markets in domestic and international routes. AwAs’ efficiency is higher than that of independent LCCs, the roles in the market are limited because of cannibalization by their mother company.

Published: May 2020

This study analyzes the policy initiatives that have been adopted by the US government since the 1930s. We document the institutional bodies responsible for the implementation of trade policy, as well as the objectives and decision making practices that are associated with policy formation. We also examine the new institutional movement of the Trump Administration’s neo-protectionist “America First” trade policy and its potential impact on the Asian region. Finally, our study examines the recent renegotiation of Korea-US FTA from a perspective of each country’s internal decision making process and discusses a number of issues that have relevant applications for Korea. The results from our analysis show that U.S trade policy show that despite a long period of an open and liberalized trade policy focus, recent neo-protectionist measures by President Trump could lead to potential trade wars and a return to the beggar-thy-neighbor policies of the 1930s. Such an anti-globalization agenda could have dire consequences for export dependent countries in the Asian region.

Smart factory is the most important feature of the fourth industrial revolution in the manufacturing field. In this paper, we introduce smart factory solutions suggested by the major solution providers. Furthermore, we classify solutions by the category of three value-chain activities: product development activity, product manufacturing activity, and sales activity. In addition, the status-of-art and best practices of the smart factory solutions are introduced. To examine the current trends of smart factories, we classified the manufacturing industries into four groups based on two factors: product variety and production volumes, and suggest directions for the successful application of smart factories in each industry group. Finally, we suggest strategies to improve the actual manufacturing competitiveness of factories.
Network Robustness of Major Asian Airlines and the Impact of Airports’ Brokerage Roles
Authors: Kwon Oh Kyoung , Lee Soobi , Chung Hye Min , Chhetri Prem , Han Ok Soon
Published: May 2020

This study aims to evaluate the network robustness of major Asian airlines and to explore which airport types have the greatest impact on robustness. We also analyze airports’ specific brokerage roles and their impacts on the robustness of the entire air route network. We select 10 major Asian full-service airlines that operate the main passenger terminals at the top-ranked hub airports in Asia. Data is collected from the Official Airline Guide passenger route dataset for 2017. The results of the network robustness analysis show that Air China and China Eastern Airlines have relatively high network robustness. In contrast, airlines with broader international coverage, such as Japan Airlines, Korean Air, and Singapore Airlines have higher network vulnerability. The measure of betweenness centrality has a greater impact on the robustness of air route networks than other centrality measures have. Furthermore, the brokerage role analysis shows that Chinese airports are more influential within China and Asia but are less influential globally when compared to other major hub airports in Asia. Incheon International Airport, Singapore Changi Airport, Hong Kong International Airport, and Narita International Airport play strong “liaison” roles. Among the brokerage roles, the liaison role has a greater impact on the robustness of air route networks.

Os coliformes foram quantificados através do método do Número Mais Provável (NMP)/100mL. Houve grande variabilidade nos resultados, tanto de CT quanto de CTT, ao longo do ano. Os resultados variaram de 300 a 1100000 e 300 a 93000 NMP/100 mL para CT e CTT, respectivamente. As maiores concentrações em NMP/100 mL para CT e CTT ocorreram no ponto 6 e no período chuvoso. Este ponto está localizado a jusante, recebendo toda água dos demais devido ao fluxo de escoamento. Constatou-se que 47,7% das amostras avaliadas para CTT apresentaram valores de NMP/100 mL superiores ao limite máximo estabelecido (1000 NMP/100 mL) pela legislação vigente, Resolução CONAMA, nº. 357/2005. Desta forma, o sistema avaliado é considerado impróprio para o desenvolvimento de atividades destinadas à aquicultura.
Lotófagos, Sirenas y otros seres: la construcción de la alteridad neutra en la épica griega
Authors: Álvarez Rodríguez Bárbara
Published: May 2020

En el imaginario homérico la relación de los hombres con los «Otros» monstruosos se plantea como una suerte de lucha entre la bestialidad y la racionalidad. El peligro que acecha a Odiseo y sus compañeros en todos estos encuentros es la muerte, pero no se trata de una cualquiera, o de la “bella muerte” que aguarda al caído en la batalla, sino de un final ignominioso, puesto que significa el olvido. Frente a esto, los únicos recursos con los que cuentan los héroes son la ayuda de los dioses y el uso de la razón, manifestada a través de la astucia. En este artículo realizaré un análisis filosófico de algunos de los encuentros con lo monstruoso con el fin de intentar comprender mejor la relación de los humanos con la alteridad neutra o impersonal. El relato de viajes le sirve al poeta para recrear un mundo extremadamente alejado de los cánones humanos, en el que las experiencias de la vida cotidiana resultan insuficientes, las normas sociales habituales no se respetan, y los peligros resultan mucho más difíciles de manejar, en un espacio fronterizo poblado de monstruos.
Generación y causalidad en Física I.7 y II.3

En este trabajo, nos interesa analizar la articulación entre los cuatro sentidos de causa sistematizados en Física II.3 y la noción de generación desarrollada en Física I.7. Con este objetivo, dividiremos el trabajo en dos partes. En la primera, realizaremos un esbozo de la noción de causa, presentando esquemáticamente las principales líneas interpretativas sobre la cuestión. En la segunda parte, analizaremos los cuatro sentidos de causa –material, formal, motriz y final–, desplegados en Física II.3, a la luz de su relación con las nociones de “generación” (Física I.7) y de “naturaleza” (Física II.1) y, por lo tanto, en conexión con los tres principios: materia, forma y privación (Física I.7).
Tapiz y cifrado: tradición clásica en tres cuentos de Julio Cortázar (1951-1956)
Authors: Chazarreta Daniela Evangelina
Published: May 2020

En este artículo indagamos las significaciones de la tradición clásica en “Circe”, “Las ménades” y “El ídolo de las Cícladas” de Julio Cortázar, teniendo como hipótesis general que este sustrato (la tradición clásica) le permite al escritor argentino esgrimir dos estrategias: por una parte, la tradición clásica representa una cita de autoridad que habilita el ingreso del orbe de la alta cultura a su estética y, por otra parte, la tradición clásica le permite inscribir el pensamiento mágico y mítico tan apreciado en su modo de ver el arte y el mundo, perspectiva en la que la experiencia latinoamericana tiene un sitio particular. Para arribar a estos resultados iniciamos, en primer lugar, con una presentación del marco teórico vinculado a la categoría de tradición clásica. En segundo lugar, nos dedicaremos a analizar los cuentos mencionados.
Conjeturas sobre la subjetivación digital
Authors: Barrenengoa Pablo
Published: May 2020

Asistimos a un asombroso cambio de escenario en el que las pantallas han modificado los modos de ser y estar en el mundo. Si los procesos de subjetivación conllevan desplazamientos, movimientos y operaciones nómades a partir de las cuales se deviene sujeto, nos preguntamos aquí sobre el rol que el uso de tecnologías de la información y la comunicación ocupa en nuevas dinámicas de modelización subjetiva. El propósito de este trabajo fue establecer trazos gruesos que permitan formular algunas conjeturas en la inmanencia de estas transformaciones. A partir de ello, se han cartografiado algunas de estas mutaciones subjetivas en el plano de la sensibilidad, el estatuto del tiempo, el espacio y las modificaciones cognitivas concomitantes. Asimismo, se establecen algunas consideraciones respecto al impacto que la velocidad de flujos de tiempo e información disponen en la configuración de padecimiento en la esfera emocional, psíquica y social.

Published: May 2020

Ostra choroba układu oddechowego COVID-19 ze względu na skalę zjawiska (pandemia) stanowi wyzwanie dla współczesnej medycyny i zdrowia publicznego. Tworzone rekomendacje (w różnych obszarach medycyny, w tym w alergologii) stanowią dla lekarzy i pracowników ochrony zdrowia wskazówki dotyczące właściwego postępowania w zaistniałej sytuacji epidemiologicznej.Każdy pacjent z podejrzeniem infekcji koronawirusem musi mieć przeprowadzone badanie PCR w kierunku SARS-CoV-2 (wymaz z nosogardła). Szczyt wydzielania wirusa pojawia się od 3 do 5 dni. Należy pamiętać, że przebieg infekcji koronawirusowej najczęściej jest łagodny. U chorych z łagodnym przebiegiem zakażenia (bez cech zapalenia płuc), bez zaostrzenia choroby alergicznej, należy kontynuować leczenie choroby podstawowej i ściśle monitorować pacjenta. Zaleca się kontynuowanie leczenia przeciwzapalnego wziewnymi glikokortykosteroidami, ale powinny być one stosowane w postaci ciśnieniowych inhalatorów typu MDI lub inhalatorów proszkowych typu DPI. Eksperci zalecają udzielanie porad lekarskich tylko pacjentom wymagającym pilnej interwencji i podkreślają konieczność stosowania ochrony osobistej.
Private Equity focused on Family Firms & Small and Medium Sized Companies: Review and Science Mapping Analysis of the Recent Scientific Field
Authors: Arteche Bueno Laura , Prado Román Camilo , Fernández Portillo Antonio
Published: May 2020

Private equity is mostly invested in established firms, of which family firms are the dominant form. This article reports the recent evolution of the scientific research on the PE focused on family firms and small and medium-sized enterprises. The purpose is to identify the main themes related to the field between 1992 and 2018 and to identify and analyze the major thematic areas throughout the period. The methodology applied is the science mapping analysis, which shows that: (i) published research on the field is concentrated in two main thematic areas: corporate governance-entrepreneurship and innovation-management, and; (ii) there has been an atomization of the research field during the last six years. Throughout this article, the authors develop a more complete understanding of the PE scientific field focused on family owned SMEs and provide suggestions for those looking for alternatives to traditional bank financing.
Evaluation of companion animal behavior knowledge among first-year veterinary students before and after an introductory animal behavior course
Authors: Lilly M. Leanne , Gonçalves Arruda Andréia , Proudfoot Kathryn L. , Herron Meghan E.
Published: May 2020

OBJECTIVE

To survey first-year veterinary students' knowledge of companion animal (dog, cat, and horse) behavior and popular-culture (ie, pop-culture) behavior myths related to animal body language, motivations, and learning prior to participation in an introductory animal behavior course; evaluate potential associations between sources of prior behavior knowledge and knowledge on the preclass survey; and determine whether postclass scores on the same survey were predictive of final examination score for the behavior class.

SAMPLE

156 first-year veterinary students.

PROCEDURES

Students were invited to participate in an anonymous electronic survey before and after a semester-long, 2-credit introductory animal behavior course. Demographic features, self-assessed animal behavior knowledge, and sources of prior behavior knowledge were evaluated as predictors of preclass survey knowledge scores. Postclass survey knowledge scores were evaluated for association with final examination scores as a measure of validity.

RESULTS

Preclass knowledge scores were low (mean ± SD, 49 ± 12.7%; n = 152). Reporting peer-reviewed journal articles as a source of incoming knowledge predicted 9% higher scores, whereas reporting magazines or online pop-culture articles as a source of incoming knowledge predicted 7.6% lower scores for preclass behavior knowledge, compared with scores for students not citing those respective sources. Companion animal ownership was not associated with preclass survey knowledge scores. Postclass knowledge scores were substantially improved (mean ± SD, 84.3 ± 8%) and predictive of final examination scores.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Results indicated a profound deficit of behavior knowledge among veterinary students at the start of their curriculum. Students graduating from veterinary institutions without a comprehensive behavior course may be at a disadvantage for day 1 competency in addressing animal behavior problems.
Effect of pappus removal on seed germination in Solidago ×niederederi (Asteraceae) and closely related species
Authors: Pliszko Artur , Kostrakiewicz-Gierałt Kinga
Published: May 2020

In Solidago, the pappus, a modified calyx, protects ovary and fruit from predation and is strongly involved in anemochory. In this study, we aimed to test the hypothesis that the mechanical removal of pappus decreases the final percentage and speed of seed germination. We examined S. ×niederederi, a natural hybrid between invasive S. canadensis and native S. virgaurea, in comparison to its parental species and S. gigantea. We conducted a 21-day germination test in the laboratory, using 50 fruits with intact pappus and 50 fruits with removed pappus in four replicates, for each taxon. The statistical analysis demonstrated that the final percentage of germinated seeds was remarkably lower in the group of fruits with removed pappus in S. canadensis (p ≤ 0.05) and S. gigantea (p ≤ 0.05). Moreover, the speed of seed germination was also significantly lower after pappus removal in S. canadensis and S. gigantea, based on the Timson’s index (p ≤ 0.05). In the case of S. ×niederederi and S. virgaurea, the hypothesis was rejected. We assumed that the small size of the cypselae could be responsible for the negative effect of pappus removal on seed germination.

Apakah yang menjadi kendala yuridis dan sosiologis pemerintah kabupaten dalam melaksanakan qanun tersebut? Qanun ini memerintahkan agar pemerintah kabupaten membangun Taman Pendidikan Al-Quran pada setiap desa. Pemerintah kabupaten juga diperintahkan agar dibangun sarana dan prasarana yang refresentatif. Dengan menggunakan penelitian yuridis empiris, kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa implementasi dari perintah Qanun Nomor 31 Tahun 2012 belum terealisasi dengan baik, karena pembangunan Taman Pendidikan Al-Quran hanya sebagian kecil desa saja. Perintah pembuatan peraturan bupati juga belum terlaksana. Terdapat beberapa kendala tidak jalannya perintah dari qanun tersebut, antara lain peraturan bupati belum dibuat karena ketidaksiapan peraturan yang menjadi acuan dalam menjalankan qanun itu. Tidak adanya kepastian honorarium para tenaga pengajar, menjadi satu kendala tersendiri, sehingga menjadi penyebab tidak jalannya Taman Pendidikan Al-Quran yang sudah ada sebelumnya. The Implementation of Qanun Regarding Taman Pendidikan Al-Qur’an In Simeulue District  This study aims to determine the implementation of the Qanun on Al-Quran Education Park in Simeulu District. Will the existence of the qanun create juridical and sociological obstacles in its implementation? This Qanun ordered the district government to build Al-Quran Education Parks in each village and build representative facilities and infrastructure. This research uses empirical juridical methods. The results showed that the implementation of the Qanun No. 31/2012 had not been realized properly, because the construction of the Al-Quran Education Park was only in some villages. The order to make regents' regulations also has not been implemented. There are several obstacles in the non-functioning of the qanun, including the absence of a regent regulation which will become a reference in implementing the qanun. The lack of certainty in funding for teaching staff is also an obstacle in running the Al-Quran Education Park.
