Pricing strategy as a leading predictor of the profitability in creative industry companies
Authors: Remeňová Katarína , Kmety-Barteková Mária , Majdúchová Helena , Šlahor Ľudomír
Published: October 2023

Background: Price setting is a determinant of a company's profitability especially in the sector of creative industry (CI) and is intensively discussed in academic and business area. Purpose: The aim of this research paper is to investigate whether a well-defined and successfully implemented pricing strategy can significantly affect the profitability of companies in the creative industry. Study design/methodology/approach: This study investigates the differences in interval variables, including financial indicators, number of price management techniques, and price management metrics, between companies that have implemented pricing strategies and those that have not. To assess this, a two-sample t-test was used to compare the variables between the two groups. Since the creative industry is highly heterogeneous, we have analyzed the profitability of creative sub-industries more in detail through ANOVA test. Findings/conclusions: As it turned out, the analyzed parameters do not differ significantly in their average values, except for the parameter "Gross margin", where a statistically significant difference in average values was confirmed. Based on the findings of studies conducted by other authors as well as our own analyses, we conclude that assessing CI's profitability relative to other industries is inappropriate and represents only a simplistic view of the industry's performance. It is important to observe the profitability in each subindustry of CI, because the nature of the product (output) is different in each segment of this industry. Limitations/future research: Despite the initial findings, it was recognized that the research was limited to a single country and a specific industry. To gain further insight into the pricing and profitability of companies in the creative sub-industries and cultural industry, subsequent research should be conducted. It would also be useful to link the topic of pricing and profitability with the theme of revenue models including pricing models, pricing metrics and payment systems.
Test of a full-scale two-story steel X-BRBF: Strong-axis instability of buckling restrained brace associated with out-of-plane bending of gusset connections
Authors: Pham Dinh Hai
Published: October 2023

This paper presents tests and finite element analyses of a two-story, buckling-restrained braced frame (BRBF) with X-bracing configuration, called X-BRBF. The BRB used in this work is composed of a core plate sandwiched by a pair of the restraining member with bolts, called a sandwiched buckling restrained brace (SBRB). The weak-axis of the SBRB core that had a rectangular plate was positioned transverse to the dual-gusset plate connection and in-plane movement of the frame. The objectives of the frame test were to evaluate: (1) the seismic performance of SBRBs with a small width-to-thickness ratio of the core plate (i.e. 3), (2) the effects of free-edge stiffeners on the gusset and BRB stability, and (3) the BRB stability associated with the lateral torsional buckling (LTB) of the beam. The two-story X-BRBF subassembly had two test phases: all gusset connections had free-edge stiffeners in Phase 1 test, and freeedge stiffeners were removed from half of gusset connections in Phase 2 test. The X-BRBF in Phase 1 test exhibited good performance up to a second-floor drift of 1.6%, but in Phase 2 test the second-floor SBRB caused by LTB of the beam showed asymmetric instability about its strong-axis of the core plate at 1.6% second-floor drift. The other SBRB with no LTB of the beam showed one-side instability about its strongaxis at 2% second-floor drift (about 2.5% interstory drift). However, the strength degradation of the X-BRBF subassembly was not observed in the strong-axis instability of SBRBs, indicating an acceptable orientation of BRBs for eliminating a typical weak-axis buckling of BRBs together with out-of-plane bending of gusset plates. The strong-axis instability of SBRBs could be evaluated by using the BRB stability concept together with the measured out-of-plane deformation of gusset plates in Phase 2 test.

THE VALUE OF NON-TIMBER FOREST PRODUCTS (NTFPs) IN PROMOTING INDIA'S RURAL LIVELIHOODS
Authors: Hazari Sujoy , Kalita Mamoni , Lahiri Biswajit
Published: October 2023

Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are biological elements other than wood that are usually collected from forests for human and animal use and have both a consumptive and an exchange value. NTFPs provide a major contribution to the livelihood and health of the poor. The article aims to describe the present condition of NTFPs and marketing issues for NTFPs in India, as well as their importance in improving rural livelihoods. A systematic research review approach was used to get the desired results. The study retrieved approximately 238 articles from different databases and filtered 191, highlighting 51 articles related to the keywords, published between 1988 and 2022 were included in the analysis. During the investigation, forty-one numbers of NTFPs were identified and documented, and numerous potential NTFPs for enterprise growth have been identified according to the different zones of India. Rural people are using NTFPs for a wide range of uses, including food, fodder, fibre, traditional medicine, domestic items, agricultural equipment, and construction materials, and many of them are linked to cultures. Promotion and domestication of NTFPs, as well as suitable policy frameworks for harvesting and better processing techniques, are all required for increased food security, poverty reduction, and improved livelihoods. Site-specific and species-specific strategies may be created for the preservation, management, and exploitation of NTFP resources. NTFPs play a significant role in improving rural livelihoods in India, as well as providing a valuable source of employment for rural residents, though it has a complex marketing system.

Published: October 2023

This work studies the sintering process of the 2024 aluminium alloy after 3D printing by Composite Extrusion Modelling (CEM) from sustainable pellet feedstocks, as an alternative route to process aluminium alloys. For the design of the sustainable feedstock of aluminium, powders were combined with water-soluble and low CO2 emissions polymers, PEG and CAB respectively. The powder injection moulding (PIM) technique was used as a first approach to produce good quality samples, thanks to previous studies by the research group. The sintering study was carried out by adding different percentages of traces of alloying elements in the aluminium-based feedstock to improve the sinterability of the material and designing an optimal experimental setup for this critical final stage. A microstructural characterisation of the parts with tin addition was carried out in order to obtain the optimum sintering parameters.

Authors: Nwose PC  , Nwose UC
Published: October 2023

Background: Patient satisfaction has become an important factor in assessing the quality of health care. One factor that influences patient satisfaction is waiting time-- how long a patient waits during a visit to a health care facility.

Objectives: To measure the time spent at each component of a patient's visit to the hospital and its correlation with patient's satisfaction. To reduce long waiting times in our outpatient Clinic by 20%.

Methods: The Reducing Waiting Time Working Group was formed to tackle the waiting time problem in the outpatient Clinic in a private hospital in the highbrow area of Lagos. Extensive literature was searched and reviewed, brainstorming and discussions were carried out and strategies were developed for reducing the outpatient waiting time and improving patient's satisfaction. Baseline data on the waiting time and patient satisfaction was carried out for one week in February 2012. A series of implementations were carried out sequentially including triaging system and assignment of a clinic manager to monitor people in the waiting area every 2 hour and a 24-hour call system.  A repeat/intervention survey was carried out in May 2012 for a week i.e. three months after the introduction of the intervention.

Results: One hundred and twenty four (93.9%) patients responded adequately in the baseline survey and two hundred and eighty (95.2%) patients in the intervention group and were analysed. The patients waited 21.1 minutes to see a doctor in the baseline study which improved to 14.7 minutes with the intervention. Patient satisfaction also improved from 68.6% in the baseline group to 83.1% in the intervention group. The total waiting time also significantly improved from 142 minutes to 108 minutes. There was also a significant improvement in patients' satisfaction.

Conclusion: The sequential introduction of a triage system, assignment of a clinic manager to monitor patient's waiting time and a 24 hour call system reduced waiting time in the outpatient clinic and significantly improved patient satisfaction.

Published: October 2023

Background: Pneumocephalus is a common complication of craniotomies. Since it has little or no clinical significance, it usually requires no treatment. However, tension pneumocephalus could also be associated with raised intracranial pressure and neurological deterioration. This emergency requires immediate radical approach to achieve surgical decompression.Objectives: To create awareness that the onset of post craniotomy tension pneumocephalus may be delayed and also to show that the radiological appearance may deviate from the classical Mount Fuji model.Case Description: A pituitary mass was successfully removed overseas from a 49-year-old man by transcranial approach. He improved, returned home and presented himself for clinical review on arrival without any significant complaint. The patient was brought back in coma two weeks later with blood pressure of 150/100 mmHg and aseptic CSF rhinorrhoea. The cranial CT scan showed marked dilatation of the lateral ventricles with obvious gas lucencies (Hounsfield unit = -1000HU).Concluson: High index of suspicion of tension pneumocephalus should be borne in mind in post operative reviews of craniotomy patients, as timely appropriate intervention is imperative.
Chemotherapy-induced isolated right pan-retinal atrophy

INTRODUCTIONTopically applied ocular medications could be sufficiently absorbed to inflict untoward systemic consequences.1-4 Timolol, a non-selective beta blocker is capable of eliciting severe asthmatic attacks in susceptible individuals. Timolol absorption is via nasal mucosa to systemic circulation. On another hand, systemically administered medications could through ophthalmic and ciliary arteries reach ocular tissues to unleash lethal effects. For instance chloroquine and its derivative, hydroxychloroquine sulphate, which have been useful in treating malaria and in larger doses, collagen-vascular disease, cause a cumulative dose-related pigmentary retinopathy.5,6 Mechanisms of action include inhibition of critical enzymes and interference with the metabolic functions of Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptors. Both drugs apparently have a selective affinity for melanin, so they get concentrated in RPE and uveal tissue and are retained for long periods, even after their usage is stopped.
Impact of Internal Remittances on Labour Participation and Employment Choice in Pakistan

Published: October 2023

This study examines internal remittances’ effects on Pakistan’s labour market outcomes.   The study utilises data from the Pakistan Social and Living Standard Measurement – Household Integrated Economic Survey (PSLM – HIES 2018-2019). The study uses Logit and Multinomial Logit models to estimate the effect of internal remittances on labour participation and employment choices. The study’s findings suggest that individuals from households receiving internal remittances are less likely to participate in the labour market than those from households that do not receive remittances. Moreover, internal remittances lower the likelihood to participate in the labour market. Amongst the labour participating, the individuals of remittance-receiving households are more inclined to participate in farming vis-à-vis non-receiving individuals. It is also observed that a rise in remittances results in a greater likelihood of farming activities. The study’s findings have important implications pertaining to understanding the entrepreneurial level and economic activities in remittance-receiving households.

The occurrence of a default (broken promise/default) is a situation where the debtor is unwilling or unable to fulfill the promises stated in the loan agreement. The trigger for a debtor to default can be natural (beyond the debtor's ability and will) or due to the debtor's good intentions. This research aims to analyze the legal status of Deeds of Sale and Purchase in the sale and purchase of land that apply in Indonesia, to analyze the criteria for breach of contract by not signing, and acts of default in Deeds of Sale and Purchase agreements made before the Official Land Deed Maker in Medan District Court Decision Number 96 /Pdt.G/2022/PN Mdn. The research was carried out using legal research, namely normative juridical which is descriptive analytical in nature, which is research that aims to describe a situation or symptom or to determine whether there is a relationship between a symptom and another symptom. The data collection techniques used were library research and document study. Based on the research results, the legal position of the Deed of Sale and Purchase in the sale and purchase of land is that it is only obligatory, meaning that the new sale and purchase agreement lays down reciprocal rights and obligations between both parties. If the sale and purchase is canceled due to an act of breach of contract in the agreement, then based on the judge's legal considerations in the case of the decision, the judge grants the plaintiff's claim, and states that the sale and purchase transaction between the plaintiff as buyer and the defendant as seller is due to the evidence held by the plaintiff. authentic evidence that has legal force, namely having a Certificate of Ownership
Flexibel fyrkantighet möter meningslös skötsamhet

AbstractEvery year, over 1,000 children and young people, between the ages of 8 and 20, are placed in special youth homes in Sweden due to criminality, substance abuse or ”other socially destructive behaviour”. This article is based on interviews with youth and staff about what happens at the institution and how they regard the purpose of the stay in a facility that has the character of a total institution, in Goffman’s understanding. With support in Adam’s theories about time rhythms and Abbott’s concepts of time/event, we analyze how staff and youth cooperate in creating institutional life where they share the space, while having distance from each other and avoid creating closeness as their interaction is limited in time. Due to several parallel time rhythms affecting their everyday life and time at the institution the young people develop an approach between resisting or developing what can be termed as ”meaningless diligence”. Everyday life becomes easier to manage if they follow what the staff say, but they cannot see that it leads to a better future. The staff describe an approach where they are careful both to follow rules and to make constant individual and situational exceptions, a ”flexible rigidity” to fixed rules and time-schedules, to deal with specific events and needs. Together they maintain institutional life and the young people are adapted to the situation here and now, not to the life outside or after the institution.
Brugerinddragelse og stemning i arbejdet med unge og rusmidler
Authors: Bank Mads
Published: October 2023

Denne artikel er en skriftlig version af min ph.d.-forsvarstale for afhandlingen “Brugerdrevne standarder og affektiv subjektivering – en undersøgelse af styringsstrategier i pædagogisk og socialt arbejde”.

Artiklen analyserer, hvordan man i to kommunale institutioner arbejder med unge rusmiddelbrugere, inspireret af narrative, systemiske og løsningsorienterede terapiformer. En væsentlig pointe i disse indsatser, er at undgå et individualiserende og stigmatiserende fokus på problemer og rusmidler og i stedet arbejde helhedsorienteret og alment udviklende. Den almene problemstilling der analyseres, handler om, hvordan vi i socialt arbejde og andre indsatser, kan påvirke borgere, så de både kommer fri af deres aktuelle vanskeligheder og opnår en mere almen kompetence til at lede sig selv og håndtere deres liv og de udfordringer, de møder.

Artiklen viser, hvordan brugerinddragelse og en løbende udvikling af fagligheden, er afgørende for at udvikle brugernes selvledelse og overskride vanskeligheder i forhold til motivation, frivillighed og deltagelse.

Den analytiske tilgang er governmentality studies, der kombineres med metodologiske tilgange fra praksisforskning med henblik på, at bidrage til at udvikle og kvalificere det sociale arbejde.Et særligt relevant forskningsmæssigt og praktisk bidrag udgøres af de analyser og teoretiske forståelser af, hvordan affektive fænomener som stemning, atmosfære og energi, er afgørende for at skabe forandring.

Artiklen opsummerer, hvordan afhandlingen ‘brugerdrevne standarder og affektiv sub- jektivering’ bidrager til en udvikling af governmentality studies, socialt arbejde, systemiske, narrative og løsningsorienterede terapiformer, samt til en bredere forståelse af organisering og ledelse af selvledelse i velfærdsstatens institutioner.

Historical evidence demonstrates the enormous role waqf institutions have played in the development and advancement of Muslims throughout the Muslim history. With the proper structure and strategy, waqf contributes to numerous spheres of life, including mainstream economic development. Contemporary development of Islamic finance has enabled the waqf concept to be linked to various financial products, including Shariah-compliant investment instruments, such as, Islamic unit trust funds and Islamic wholesale funds. This paper aims to highlight the current applications of the Waqf-Featured Fund (WFF) in the Malaysia Islamic Fund Management Industry. This is in relation to the launch of a new WFF framework to facilitate the offering of Islamic funds with waqf characteristics. The study took both qualitative via in-depth semi-structured interviews with eleven (11) WFF stakeholders, as well as, analyzing of policy documents, journal articles, books, and online resources. The findings shed light on the current issues and challenges confronting waqf projects in Malaysia, as well as the current guidelines and essential requirements for the WFF, the current application of the WFF in the Malaysian Islamic Fund Management (IFM) industry, and a proposal for the future application model, which includes fund collection, investment structure, distribution process, and fund reporting.

Selain daripada refleksi terhadap alat-alat pengajian kontemporari, kebolehcapaian terhadap sumber-sumber sejarah telah membuka dimensi baharu dalam penerokaan sejarah pengajian ḥadīth dan pengajian Islam secara umumnya. Namun sumber-sumber pemerian sejarah pengajian ḥadīth kurang disusun atur dan dikemas rapi untuk mendapatkan gambaran keseluruhan tradisi ḥadīth kurun ketiga dan keempat hijrah. Dengan kaedah kepustakaan secara penuh, makalah ini cuba mengharungi tiga dimensi autoriti, ruang dan masa untuk sebuah cadangan pengkelasan kutub al-rijāl atau kamus biografi dalam khazanah ilmu ḥadīth yang juga mampu ditanggapi selaku sumber naratif alternatif. Di samping pengkelasan tersebut, makalah ini turut membincangkan bagaimana peranan yang boleh dimainkan sebilangan disiplin sains kemanusiaan seperti historiografi, antropologi, sosiologi, geografi, kartografi dan lain-lain dalam pemanfaatan kamus biografi, bagi pembinaan kerangka abstrak sejarah tradisi intelektual pengajian Sunni tertua ini. Pemudahan awal terhadap pengkelasan kamus-kamus biografi dalam ilmu ḥadīth menunjukkan bahawa data-data yang terhasil selepas penyusunan menerusi dimensi berserta integrasi sebilangan pendekatan sains kemanusiaan terkini menyajikan kapasiti yang besar untuk pembinaan suatu kerangka abstrak sejarah pengajian ḥadīth pada kurun ketiga dan keempat hijrah.
Texture Analysis of Adenomatous and Metastatic Adrenal Lesions on Native and Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography
Authors: Belyanova Magdalena , Krupev Martin
Published: October 2023

Differentiating lipid-poor adrenal adenomas from adrenal metastases is not possible without performing a dedicated contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) protocol. Our purpose is to evaluate the possible role of texture analysis in classifying adrenal lesions.

This is a retrospective study. We evaluated 33 patients with 47 metastases and 43 patients with 47 adenomas. Seven of the adenomas were lipid-poor, and the rest – lipid-rich adenomas. We used commercially available software for lesion segmentation and texture analysis on native and arterial phase CT images with a slice thickness of 2 mm. The segmentation was semi-automated, and features were computed on the resulting regions of interest (ROI) for each lesion on both native and arterial phases. Two conventional (HU standard deviation, Histogram Entropy) and six second-order texture features (GLCM – Homogeneity, Energy, Entropy log 10, Contrast, Dissimilarity, NGDLM–Busyness) were calculated. For statistical analysis the IBM SPSS 19 package was used to compare the following groups in both phases: 1. Adenomas--Metastasis; 2. Lipid-rich adenomas (LRA)--metastases; 3. Lipid-rich--lipid-poor adenomas (LPA); 4. Lipid-poor adenomas--metastases.

There was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of some conventional (Histogram Entropy) and second-order features (GLCM – Homogeneity, Energy, Entropy log 10, Dissimilarity) in the first group on the native as well as on the enhanced images. The results were similar when comparing lipid-rich adenomas to metastases. Only native phase derived features were discriminative between lipid-rich and lipid-poor adenomas, with no difference between parameters on CECT. No difference was found between any of the texture features in lipid-poor adenomas and metastases for both phases.

First- and second-order texture features were graded based on their potential for serving as classifier tools. Unenhanced features ranked higher. Further research and validation are needed to discover the most robust set of features for differentiating between lipid-poor adenomas and metastases.
Experimental Study on the Surface Pyrolysis Properties and Modeling of Expanded Polystyrene
Authors: Ha Yejin , Jeon Joonho
Published: October 2023

Insulation materials are widely used in buildings for energy conservation. However, a combustible insulation material poses a potential risk of rapid flame propagation in the event of a fire. Since ignition occurs through surface pyrolysis before combustion takes place, it is important to understand the pyrolysis process of insulation materials. In this study, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was conducted at different heating rates to investigate the pyrolysis of expanded polystyrene (EPS). The results indicate that the pyrolysis of EPS occurs in one stage, with weight loss occurring at temperatures in the range of 370–430 ℃. The pyrolysis kinetics were analyzed using the model-free and model-free method based on TGA results. Kinetic analysis allowed for the determination of pyrolysis parameters such as activation energy, pre-exponential factor, and reaction mechanism of EPS. Furthermore, the suitability of the pyrolysis parameters obtained in this study was examined using a pyrolysis model for fire simulation.
