Published: July 2018

Purpose of the study: In this paper, we investigate the impact of the changes in crude oil prices and fluctuation of foreign exchange rate on the operating performances of Taiwanese 3PL industry.Methodology: Vector Autoregression Models. Through the empirical model, we find that all the 3PL companies are more suffered to the volatility of WTI and Dubai crude oil prices, but Dubai is insignificant to the warehousing companies. In the fluctuations of foreign exchange rate, some have positive effect and some are negative.Main Findings: All the Taiwanese 3PL companies are more suffered to the volatility of WTI and Dubai crude oil prices, however Dubai is insignificant to the warehousing companies. Moreover, we find an interesting result, that is, for some companies operating performance, the impact on the volatilities of crude oil have the same sign but in opposite direction. For example, in our empirical results, the stock returns are positively correlated to volatilities of Dubai and Brent crude oil prices, however, WTI’s volatility has negative impact on them.Implications: It implies that the company can make a “natural hedge” strategy to hedge the crude oil volatility risk by forming a portfolio which pools these three commodities together. In this way, we made recommendations to the company’s decision-making reminding that the company should make a portfolio of foreign exchange and crude oil price fluctuations in the hedge strategy to enhance the company’s risk management operations and to reduce the loss caused by these factors.Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes in the existing literature for an empirically study of a firm-level evidence from Taiwanese 3PL companies.

THE LEGACY OF AL-ANDALUS IN MEXICO: MUDEJAR ARCHITECTURE
Authors: López Guzmán Rafael
Published: July 2018

This article aims to approach the Mudejar architecture developed in Mexico during the 16th and 17th centuries. The subject has been little studied although both general and specific contributions have been made by the author’s research group. At the methodological level, this study is based on the existing bibliography as well as archive and field research which allow an accurate scientific approach and results. The article analyses the social and productive conditions in Mexico during the Viceregal period along with the systematization carried by the Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza, the guild ordinances and the architectural typologies. The perception of territory and the use of constructive models by the Viceregal authorities would justify the use of the Mudejar style as cultural and unity criteria
Sulforaphene Isolated from Radish (Raphanus Sativus L.) Seeds Inhibits Growth of Six Cancer Cell Lines and Induces Apoptosis of A549 Cells
Authors: Lim Sooyeon , Ahn Jinchul , Lee Eun Jin , Kim jongkee
Published: July 2018

Sulforaphene (SFE), a major isothiocyanate in radish seeds, is a close chemical relative of sulforaphane (SFA) isolated from broccoli seeds and florets. The anti-proliferative mechanisms of SFA against cancer cells have been well investigated, but little is known about the potential anti-proliferative effects of SFE. In this study, we showed that SFE purified from radish seeds inhibited the growth of six cancer cell lines (A549, CHO, HeLa, Hepa1c1c7, HT-29, and LnCaP), with relative half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values ranging from 1.37 to 3.31 g/mL. Among the six cancer cell lines evaluated, SFE showed the greatest growth inhibition against A549 lung cancer cells. In A549 cells, SFE induced apoptosis via changes in the levels of poly (adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase and caspase-3, -8, and -9. Our results indicate that SFE from radish seeds may have significant anti-proliferative potency against a broad range of human cancer cells via induction of apoptosis.

Objective of this work is to analyze the spatial distribution of various species of small mammals, caught between 2015 and 2017, and to identify the dominant species in different landscape areas, as well as their role in functioning of natural foci of zoonotic infections (tularemia, leptospirosis, tick-borne encephalitis, Lyme disease, Crimean hemorrhagic fever, hantavirus infection) in the territory of Crimea. Materials and methods. Small mammals were caught during the period of 2015–2017 and investigated using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme immunoassay (ELISA) and direct hemagglutination reaction. Results and conclusions. The dominant species of small mammals, containing the causative agents of some or other natural-focal infection are ubiquitous species, i.e. disseminated across the territory of the whole peninsula. In the presence of concomitant favorable conditions, they may contribute to the expansion of the natural foci of these infections. Positive tests for Lyme disease detected not only in small mammals caught in mountain-forest areas, but in steppe zone too may testify to the fact that the border of the natural focus of this infection is expanded. To clarify the boundaries of the natural foci of infections circulating in the territory of Crimea, it is necessary to conduct comprehensive analysis of distribution of small mammals, blood-sucking ectoparasites, and also epidemic manifestations in different natural areas of Crimea.

Science Project-based Learning Integrated with Local Potential to Promote Student’s Environmental Literacy Skills
Authors: Carlina Ellin , Djukri
Published: July 2018

The learning process of science requires teaching which gives students the opportunity to be active in direct experience learning and thinking about the problems in real-life. However, science learning method that is widely used so far only conventionally, so it has not accommodated students in providing direct experience and solutions to real life problems. In order to realize the science learning that allows students to build their own understanding of real life problems, suitable learning model is needed and one of which is project-based learning. This research was conducted to know the effectiveness of science project-based learning which is integrated with natural potential of Baruppu’ in Junior High School students’ environmental literacy skills. Sample consisted of 50 students in grade VII of SMPN 1 Baruppu’. Quasi-experimental with Non-equivalent Control-Group Design was used to know the effectiveness of learning model in student’s environmental literacy skills: cognitive skill and environmental affect components. The study design consists of two groups: 26 students of class VIIA as experimental group and 24 students of class VIIB as control group. Data collected consisted of scores that measured cognitive skill and scores from environmental affect survey. Data analysed utilizing an independent samples t-test to determine any differences in environmental literacy skills between experimental and control groups after treatment. The result showed that the science project-based learning which is integrated with natural potential of Baruppu’ was effective to promoted student’s environmental literacy skills.
Quantifying the global non-revenue water problem
Authors: Liemberger R. , Wyatt A.
Published: July 2018

This paper provides a long overdue update on the global non-revenue water (NRW) estimates, initially published in a World Bank publication more than 10 years ago. The authors use a similar approach based on latest data to estimate the volume of water lost by water utilities around the world. The conclusion of this study is that the 2006 estimates were extremely conservative and that realistic NRW estimates are significantly higher. The global volume of NRW has been estimated to be 346 million cubic metres per day or 126 billion cubic metres per year. Conservatively valued at only USD 0.31 per cubic metre, the cost/value of water lost amounts to USD 39 billion per year. Not only is this an enormous financial concern, but elevated NRW also detracts from water utilities, in a time of increasing scarcity and climate change, from reaching their goals of full service coverage, at a reliable level of service at an affordable price.
Проблема обеспечения социально-психологической безопасности личности
Authors: Эксакусто Татьяна Валентиновна
Published: July 2018

This article emphasizes that due to the presentday conditions it becomes relevant to study the psychological safety through analysis of interpersonal relations system. Whereas the better people in a group know and understand each other, the higher is the psychological safety level in interpersonal relations, obviously, it is necessary to speak of the social-psychological safety of a personality. It is noted, that a person’s relations system is actualized through communication. The efficiency of the communication process organization in many ways determines the personal relations system, and thus, the people’s social-psychological safety. It means that in order to ensure the social-psychological safety of a personality, the special attention should be paid to studying of the hampered communication phenomenon, various forms of its exertion, psychological determinants. It is shown that these problems analysis will help to work out particular practical guidelines for optimization of the interpersonal relations, which, eventually, will favor the development of the social-psychological safety of a personality.
The Impact of Patient Online Access to Computerized Medical Records and Services on Type 2 Diabetes: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Mold Freda , Raleigh Mary , Alharbi Nouf Sahal , de Lusignan Simon
Published: July 2018

BACKGROUND

Online access to computerized medical records has the potential to improve convenience, satisfaction, and care for patients, and to facilitate more efficient organization and delivery of care.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this review is to explore the use and impact of having online access to computerized medical records and services for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in primary care.

METHODS

Multiple international databases including Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO and the Cochrane Library were searched between 2004 and 2016. No limitations were placed on study design, though we applied detailed inclusion and exclusion criteria to each study. Thematic analysis was used to synthesize the evidence. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Toolkit was used to appraise study quality.

RESULTS

A search identified 917 studies, of which 28 were included. Five themes were identified: (1) disparities in uptake by age, gender, ethnicity, educational attainment, and number of comorbidities, with young men in full-time employment using these services most; (2) improved health outcomes: glycemic control was improved, but blood pressure results were mixed; (3) self-management support from improved self-care and shared management occurred especially soon after diagnosis and when complications emerged. There was a generally positive effect on physician-patient relationships; (4) accessibility: patients valued more convenient access when online access to computerized medical records and services work; and (5) technical challenges, barriers to use, and system features that impacted patient and physician use. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Toolkit rated 3 studies as 100%, 19 studies as 75%, 4 studies as 50%, and 1 study scored only 25%.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients valued online access to computerized medical records and services, although in its current state of development it may increase disparities. Online access to computerized medical records appears to be safe and is associated with improved glycemic control, but there was a lack of rigorous evidence in terms of positive health outcomes for other complications, such as blood pressure. Patients remain concerned about how these systems work, the rules, and timeliness of using these systems.
La vida como conflicto en Nietzsche y Freud. Cercanías y rupturas políticas con el paradigma inmunitario de Esposito
Authors: Zengotita Alonso
Published: July 2018

El objetivo de este artículo es trazar un recorrido histórico a través de las políticas de comunicación, desde sus orígenes en el siglo xix hasta los desafíos que se presentan actualmente con el desarrollo de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación. A partir de las tres fases paradigmáticas que proponen los investigadores Jan van Cuilemburg y Denis McQuail (una primera etapa emergente, una segunda etapa de servicio público y una tercera fase de búsqueda de un nuevo paradigma), este artículo se propone un doble objetivo: en primer lugar, indagar sobre los rasgos históricos de cada etapa, teniendo en cuenta una mirada global que pone el acento en los casos estadounidense y europeo, y con referencias a las políticas de comunicación en América Latina y, en particular, en la Argentina. En segundo lugar, profundizar en la caracterización de la etapa actual ―que los autores no terminan de delinear―, haciendo hincapié en los desafíos de las tecnologías digitales, el ecosistema de internet y los procesos de convergencia entre las industrias del audiovisual y las telecomunicaciones para la definición de políticas de comunicación en el siglo XXI.
Mapping of Population Diversity in Canada and Germany: Different Strategies, Similar Pragmatism
Authors: Schultz Caroline
Published: July 2018

The aim of this paper is to compare the respective approaches of Canada and Germany in statistically mapping population diversity and to offer possible explanations for the differences and commonalities observed. In order to investigate this, the paper takes into account the concept of ‘politics of belonging’ as a theoretical background and considers the functions of national statistics in categorizing different groups of people. There are different strategies of mapping population diversity and, inter alia, two models can be distinguished: while some countries explicitly include questions on elusive concepts of ‘origin’ in their population data collection, others refrain from doing so and instead derive different subgroups from information on citizenship and place of birth. Taking Canada as an example of the first group of countries and Germany of the second, and delineating recent changes within their respective strategies of measuring diversity within their populations, this paper argues that Canada and Germany converge towards a new pragmatism in the approaches of measuring diversity in population statistics.
Denmark as the Big Satan: Projections of Scandinavia in the Arab World and the Future of Multiculturalism
Authors: Rudling Per Anders
Published: July 2018

During the winter and spring of 2006, Denmark and Scandinavia faced its most serious crisis since World War II. The conflict started as a Danish newspaper published a number of cartoons, some of which portrayed the prophet Muhammad. After the Danish government rejected their requests to censor the media, Danish Islamists distributed these pictures to some senior political and religious figures in the Middle East and requested their support against Denmark. To these pictures, they added a number of more offensive images, never published in any Danish newspaper in order to infuriate Muslims around the world. Muslim clerics, assisted by the governments of Saudi Arabia, Syria and Iran caused the region to explode in protest and violent riots, in which 44 people were killed. Danish products were boycotted across the Muslim world; Scandinavian embassies were attacked and set ablaze in Syria, Iran, Lebanon and Indonesia. Islamists promised substantial rewards for anyone who would murder Danish and Norwegian peacekeepers, and Scandinavian UN forces were attacked in Palestine and Afghanistan. The Scandinavian countries and the EU are struggling to find a way to address the issue of radical Islam within their societies, and how to defend liberal democratic values from attacks from its enemies. This process may lead to a redefinition of values, a shift from multiculturalism to an embrace of the democratic western values upon which the European states are based.
An Ever Further Apart Union? National and European Attachments in the European Union
Authors: Raney Tracey
Published: July 2018

This paper is about the ways that citizens perceive their place in the political world around them, through their political identities. Using a combination of comparative and quantitative methodologies, the study traces the pattern of citizens’ political identifications in the European Union and Canada between 1981 and 2003 and explains the mechanisms that shape these political identifications. The results of the paper show that in the EU and Canada identity formation is a process that involves the participation of both individuals and political institutions yet between the two, individuals play a greater role in identity construction than do political institutions. The paper argues that the main agents of political identification in the EU and Canada are citizens themselves: individuals choose their own political identifications, rather than acquiring identities that are pre-determined by historical or cultural precedence. The paper makes the case that this phenomenon is characteristic of a rise of ‘civic’ identities in the EU and Canada. In the European Union, this overarching ‘civic’ identity is in its infancy compared to Canada, yet, both reveal a new form of political identification when compared to the historical and enduring forms of cultural identities firmly entrenched in Europe. The rise of civic identities in both the EU and Canada is attributed to the active role that citizens play in their own identity constructions as they base their identifications on rational assessments of how well political institutions function, and whether their memberships in the community will benefit them, rather than on emotional factors rooted in religion or race. In the absence of strongly held emotional identifications, in the EU and Canada political institutions play a passive role in identity construction by making the community appear more entitative to its citizens. These findings offer new theoretical scope to the concept of civic communities and the political identities that underpin them. The most important finding presented in the paper is that although civic communities and identities are manufactured by institutions and political elites (politicians and bureaucrats), they require thinking citizens, not feeling ones, to be sustained.
Ethnic Conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh
Authors: Kuburas Melita
Published: July 2018

Twenty years since the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the Nagorno-Karabakh region first began, 610,000 people are still internally displaced in Azerbaijan, living in poverty and in wretched housing conditions. The causes of violence in the ongoing ethnic conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which began in the late 1980s and has since resulted in 30,000 deaths, can mainly be analyzed using a constructivist framework. However, elements of a primordialist approach to national identity were also used by mobilizers totrigger political and social uprisings. This paper presupposes that the constructivist theories on identity formation and territorial claims offer a better explanation as to why the war over Nagorno-Karabakh broke out in the 1990s, and why, in 2010, the two parties are no closer to a resolution and the Nagorno-Karabakh region remains in limbo.
Migration and the Extreme Right in Western Europe
Authors: Nedelcu Harry , Miller Chris
Published: July 2018

The relationship between migration and extremist parties has been an overlapping topic in studies of party systems, citizenship, and migration. This body of work has collectively challenged the view that the success of radical right parties in Western Europe is an unavoidable consequence of increased immigration flows. Through a review of four recent studies, this article will attempt to unpack recent scholarly literature with the aim of investigating the salience of the causal link between immigration and the success of radical right parties. The four works studied arrive at separate conclusions due to their different conceptual understandings of agency in party systems as well as their assumptions about the nature of political mobilization. While three feature the mobilization of immigration as an electoral issue as being an important factor for the success of far right parties, one makes the claim that national definitions of citizenship shape both responses to migration within the host state as well as the space available for the radical right.
The Role of Italy in the Development of Energy Cooperation between Kazakhstan and the EU
Authors: Nurgaliyeva Lyailya
Published: July 2018

This paper focuses on the contribution of Italy to the development of energy cooperation between Kazakhstan and the EU, focusing on the specific case of the Kashagan oil field. I argue that Italy, as the largest importer of Kazakhstan’s oil, can play a significant role in the diversification of energy export routes from Kazakhstan and in the introduction of new European technologies. In turn, Kazakhstan can play a prominent role in ensuring the energy security of the EU, especially after the 2014 Crimea incident. I posit that recent Italy-Kazakhstan relations shows how a medium-sized power such as Italy can be important in leading a larger block of countries into a new field of investment and development.

Impact of some risk factors on neonatal IUGR incidence and outcome in NICU at Al-Sadder teaching hospital, Misan, Iraq 2016Dr. Eman Khammas Al- SadiF.I.B.M.S/Ped.  Misan University, College of Medicine, Misan, Iraq.AbstractBackground: Intrauterine growth restriction IUGR is the second leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality in developing countries; it also increases adulthood risk of (hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke) that reflects a major public health problem. We aim to identify the incidence and outcome of IUGR in our NICU and the relation with some risk factors.Method: Across sectional study was conducted on 119 singleton newborn babies (Full term and Preterm) admitted to the NICU at Al-Sader teaching hospital, Amara city, Misan province in a period from the first of January to 31 December 2016 with low birth weight (<2.5 kg) whom may or may not have associated medical problems. LBW can be a consequence of IUGR, preterm birth, or both, but in developing countries most LBW births are due to IUGR (defined as below the tenth percentile of the Williams sex-specific weight-for-gestational age reference data).Neonates with lethal congenital anomalies, multiple pregnancies were excluded. Babies were examined and checked to fulfill the definition of (IUGR) through estimation of the following growth parameters (body weight, length, head circumference), and the Ponderal index. We studied various risk factors like maternal: age, parity, hypertension and delivery type as well as fetal gender and gestational age to find the most offending cause of IUGR in our NICU.Statistical significance considered when p value ≤ 0.05. Results: we found that 43.7% of the admitted neonates had IUGR, those with low gestational age carried significant association with IUGR occurrence, p value=0.0001. In this study, we concluded that maternal hypertension, multiparty, cesarean section delivery, young and middle-aged mothers and fetal male gender carried the highest risks of having babies with IUGR but with no significant statistical association.Keyword: IUGR, Risk factor, NICU, Missan, Iraq.

This research aims to evaluate rainfall estimates of satellite products in regions that have high variations of rainfall pattern. The surrounding area of Makassar Strait have chosen because of its distinctive rainfall pattern between the eastern and western parts of the Makassar Strait. For this purpose, spatial distribution of Pearson’s coefficient correlation and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is used to evaluate accuracy of rainfall in the eastern part of Kalimantan Island and the western part of Sulawesi Island. Moreover, we also used the contingency table to complete the parameter accuracy of the TRMM rainfall estimates. The results show that the performance of TRMM rainfall estimates varies depending on space and time. Overall, the coefficient correlation between TRMM and rain observed from no correlation was -0.06 and 0.78 from strong correlation. The best correlation is on the eastern coast of South West Sulawesi located in line with the Java Sea. While, no variation in the correlation was related to flatland such as Kalimantan Island. On the other hand, in the mountain region, the correlation of TRMM rainfall estimates and observed rainfall tend to decrease. The RMSE distribution in this region depends on the accumulation of daily rainfall. RMSE tends to be high where there are higher fluctuations of fluctuating rainfall in a location. From contingency indicators, we found that the TRMM rainfall estimates were overestimate. Generally, the absence of rainfall during the dry season contributes to improving TRMM rainfall estimates by raising accuracy (ACC) in the contingency table.
In Between Research Cultures – The State of Digital Humanities in Finland
Authors: Matres Inés , Oiva Mila , Tolonen Mikko
Published: July 2018

Digital humanities (DH) as a research field has been developing rapidly in Finland during the past few years, mainly due to increased funding and profiling activities. Although these infrastructural developments have created (smaller and larger) centres, hubs and clusters related directly or indirectly to digital humanities, the future of Finnish research in this area depends on how the various scholarly and memory organisations, as well as individual scholars, succeed in joining forces. The overall argument in this paper is that digital humanities needs to establish its identity and to create a new space among research cultures with varying characteristics tackling a multitude of problems, and that this can only be achieved through national collaboration and the joint exploitation of the strengths of existing DH hubs. The article sets out a roadmap to this end, providing a detailed discussion of various developments in digital humanities, and analysing different possibilities in the international context. It is based on a survey conducted in 2016 among Finnish scholars in the fields of humanities and the social sciences, an analysis of existing infrastructures, and interviews with DH scholars involved with international top-level DH centres. The focus in the latter part of the article is on these interviews, and on the lessons learned abroad from which the Finnish DH community could benefit. We conclude with a strong call for collaboration to facilitate the further development of the DH field in Finland in response to international competition.
Marxismo, peronismo y vanguardia. La polémica entre las FAR y el ERP
Authors: González Canosa Mora
Published: July 2018

Este artículo analiza uno de los debates político-intelectuales más importantes originados en el campo de las organizaciones armadas argentinas de los setenta: aquel que tuvo lugar entre las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias y el Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo durante 1971. En efecto, allí se desplegaron, de modo paradigmático, las principales controversias que separaban a las organizaciones armadas de la izquierda marxista no peronista de aquellas identificadas con la izquierda peronista que, a su vez, también reivindicaban su filiación con el marxismo.  Nuestro objetivo es analizar la polémica considerando cuatro tópicos centrales: 1) el punto de partida del análisis para trazar una estrategia revolucionaria en Argentina, 2) el estatuto otorgado al marxismo, 3) el carácter del peronismo y 4) la forma de pensar la ideología, indisociable de sus respectivas formas de pensar la experiencia obrera y la vanguardia que, según creían, debía construirse en el país. Metodológicamente el artículo apela a una estrategia cualitativa basada en el análisis de los documentos que formaron parte de la polémica, otros escritos de las FAR y el ERP, así como bibliografía sobre el período.
Crisis del Estado neoliberal y de la inserción internacional: evolución de las posiciones del gobierno de De la Rúa frente al ALCA entre agosto de 2000 y mayo de 2001
Authors: Pascual Rodrigo , Kejsefman Igal
Published: July 2018

En el presente trabajo nos proponemos mostrar que la ruptura de la subordinación de la Cancillería al Ministerio de Economía en torno a las negociaciones por el ALCA fue una de las manifestaciones de la crisis de la Convertibilidad -y por lo tanto de la inserción internacional que ella suponía- durante el gobierno de la Alianza. Asimismo, abordamos la crisis de la Convertibilidad como la crisis de las relaciones sociales que la sostenían y que se habían condensado en la forma de Estado neoliberal, excluyendo otras aristas de la misma. Desde esa perspectiva abordaremos los fundamentos que subyacían en las posiciones del Ministerio de Economía y la Cancillería entre agosto de 2000 a mayo de 2001, que primero asumieron la forma de una tensión latente (agosto del 2000 a marzo del 2001) y luego de una contraposición abierta (marzo a mayo del 2001).

Palabras clave: ALCA – Crisis del Estado Neoliberal - Inserción internacional - Cancillería –Ministerio de Economía
Impresiones sobre Mayo Frances de 1968
Authors: Simonof Alejandro Cesar
Published: July 2018

Cuando Norberto Consani nos invitó a participar del ciclo de reflexiones, para aportar nuestras impresiones sobre la rebelión parisina de mayo de los sesenta, nos resultó estimulante. Si bien, inicialmente pensamos realizar una contribución más formal, luego nos pareció más adecuado presentar algo más ensayístico para abordarla de un modo más general. Interrogarnos sobre sus cuestiones más estructurales, como las transformaciones de la economía mundial de posguerra, y otras, como los movimientos políticos que tuvieron lugar durante esa década, y que tuvieron en el París de 1968 uno de sus exponentes máximos, delinearon nuestra hoja de ruta. Por otro lado, y más allá de las simpatías que nos generan las ideas que cobijaron ese movimiento antiburocrático y progresista, no nos impidieron observar sus secuelas en la actualidad.
