Architectural Theory and Analytic Philosophy in the Interwar Period
Authors: Jász Borbála
Published: March 2019

The basis of the connection between analytic philosophy and architecture theory was developed in the interwar period. The results of analytic philosophy – especially the neo-positivism of Vienna Circle – and modern, functionalist architecture theory were utilized in an interdisciplinary approach. The comparison was based on language puzzles, science-based building processes, the method of justification and verification, and designing an artificial language in order to express the theoretical (philosophical) and the practical (architectural) approach as well. The functionality was based on the modern way of architectural thinking that relied on the results of Carnapian neo-positivism. Interpreting modern architecture is possible by referring to the keywords of logical positivism: empiricism, logic, verification, unity of language, and science.

In my paper, I first list the bases of the comparison between the philosophy of the Vienna Circle and the architecture theory of the interwar period – the Bauhaus and Le Corbusier. In the 2nd and 3rd sections, I show the dialectical succession between form and function. After that, I discuss the aesthetic verification of the turn of the century and the scientific justification of the interwar period. I focus on the interwar period with the positivist approach and the theory of the ‘new architecture’. I emphasize the importance of the language of science and the machine paradigm – in contrast to historicism.
The ‘Roma Question’ in Slovakia
Authors: Macsó Kinga
Published: March 2019

Slovakia belongs to those states with a high number of Romani in terms of population – of the population of about 5.3 million, 480 to 520 thousand people have Romani origin. In Slovakia, only since 1999 have the Gypsies been able to call themselves Roma. In the 1991, 2001, and 2011 censuses, the Romani could decide on their affiliation, they could be considered Roma citizens, but only a few people made use of this right. Only 25% of the Roma ethnic group called themselves Roma, while the majority referred to themselves as Slovakian or Hungarian; so, these demographic data do not reflect reality. The so-called ‘Atlas’-es show a more significantly accurate picture. The creators of these worked together with the local social workers who knew the local Roma communities well in the given settlements. Approximately half of the Romani living in Slovakia were able to change socially to some extent and adapt to the society’s majority. The rest of the Roma minority live isolated in some parts of the city, on the edge of the city, or in the nearby. These communities are characterized by social and ethnic isolation, which may be different in some specific cases. According to different indicators, they are divided into segregated, separated, integrated focused, and integrated scattered groups. Since the year 2003, the state has introduced various social reforms. Local governments have also joined the state-initiated reforms. They create various special projects for their own Roma communities in order to help their advancement.
A Successful Example of Complex Country Branding: The ‘E-Estonia’ Positioning Concept and Its Relation to the Presidency of the Council of the EU
Authors: Papp-Váry Árpád Ferenc
Published: March 2019

Estonia held the presidency of the Council of the European Union for six months from 1 July to 31 December 2017. This was a great opportunity to strengthen and shape the country image, also known as the country brand. They do have something to build on: there have been very few countries in recent years and decades where country branding was so conscious. It was a brave choice: in the early 2000s, they decided that they would become E-Estonia. This is not just a means to communicate but also involves policies and tangible developments regarding electronics, IT, and brand new technologies in order to build the most advanced digital society of Europe and the world.

But how did this appear during the EU Presidency and how are Estonian citizens involved in branding? This rather lengthy case study explores the concept as a good practice, also setting an example for other countries.
Deterioration Causes Evaluation of Third Generation Cellular LTE Services for Moving Unmanned Terrestrial and Aerial Systems
Authors: Brodņevs Deniss , Kutins Aleksandrs
Published: March 2019

Well-deployed cellular networks offer a cheap wireless solution for the control channel deployment of Remote-Control Vehicles (RCV) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). However, a cellular data transfer service performance is affected by a different kind of User Equipment (UE) mobility. Operating conditions of UAV imply working at different altitudes, variable velocities with accelerations/decelerations and rapidly changed antennas angular position, which lead the wireless signal to be prone to negative effects. Available field measurement studies are not sufficient to provide excessive information on degradation problem causes for UEs moving along a complex trajectory. This paper presents an evaluation of the service quality of live operational 3G and LTE networks for both ground moving and flying UE. It has been found that antennas angular position variations in 3D (for example, during UAV manoeuvers) increase data transfer latency and jitter. Moreover, this effect in conjunction with higher interference at high altitudes may partially or fully block the data transfer service. This paper has been prepared to draw attention to the problem that makes the cellular data transfer service unusable for highly-manoeuvrable UAVs.
Experimental Verification of Lead-Lag Compensators on a Twin Rotor System
Authors: Deniz Meryem , Tatlicioglu Enver , Bayrak Alper
Published: March 2019

Twin rotor system is a laboratory setup resembling a simplified helicopter model that moves along both horizontal and vertical axes. The literature on control of twin rotor systems reflects a good amount of research on designing PID controllers and their extensions considering several aspects, as well as onsome nonlinear controllers. However, there is almost no previous work on design of lag-lead type compensators for twin rotor systems. In this study, by considering this open research problem, lag and lead type compensators are designed and then experimentally verified on the twin rotor system. Specifically, first, lag and lag-lag compensators are designed to obtain a reduced steady state error as compared with proportional controllers. Secondly, lead compensation is discussed to obtain a reduced overshoot. Finally, lag-lead compensators are designed to make use of their favorable properties. All compensators are applied to the twin rotor system in our laboratory. From experimental studies, it was observed that steady state error was reduced when a lag compensator was used in conjunction with a lead compensator.
In pursuit of livelihood sustainability and drought resilience: The human dimension of drought-adaptation in the Maasai pastoralists coupled socio-ecological systems across Kajiado County, Kenya
Authors: Mwangi Margaret
Published: March 2019

The system of Maasai-pastoralism, practiced in the savanna rangelands of Kenya, epitomizes an ideal learning platform upon which the dynamics of factors and/or processes that shape sustainability and drought resilience in a coupled socio-ecological system can be unravelled. This study engaged an integrated approach to examine the dynamics of drought-adaptation strategies utilized in Maasai-pastoralism, a strongly coupled socio-ecological system. The current empirical evidence reveals the integrative utilization of varied and multipurpose adaptation strategies. Migrate-livestock, diversify-livelihood, and diversify-livestock, in that order, dominate as the most widely utilized drought-adaptations in Maasai-pastoralism. In this system, drought-adaptation strategies that take advantage of drought conditions are rare. In addition, over 50% of the Maasais’ households frequently use an admixture of over half of the existing strategies. The study reveals that drought-adaptation strategies in Maasai-pastoralism are inextricably interconnected systematic endeavours that simultaneously help alleviate deleterious drought-impacts and livelihood-risks, manage resilience, ensure sustainability of the core socioeconomic sector and of critical rangeland resources, and deal with cross-scale social and biophysical happenings and conditions within which this system is entrenched. As drought recurrences intensify, and shifts in social, political, economic, ecological factors and processes persist, the Maasai’s adaptation strategies and livelihood subsistence, as well as pathways of development, will be transformed in ways that we are yet to understand. Therefore, efforts toward enhancing drought-adaptations and the Maasai’s livelihoods should be based on a holistic understanding of the social-biophysical landscapes within which this system is entrenched. In policy terms, such efforts should be participatory and be mainstreamed within policies and/or programs related to, and/or operating in, Maasai-inhabited regions.
Ecological Awareness in the Behaviour of Young Consumers - Students of the Faculty of Economic and Technical Sciences of Pope John Paul II State School of Higher Education in Biała Podlaska
Authors: Łęska Monika , Kuś Agnieszka
Published: March 2019

Subject and purpose of work: The reason for choosing the subject and undertaking the studies were information gaps regarding the behaviour of young consumers in the area of activities related to enviroment.

Materials and methods: The study employed purposeful sampling with regards to the participants’ field of study (programmes with environmental education content) and the year of education, as well as stratified sampling according to the structure of the population and its division into groups based on specified features. The technique of auditorium questionnaire was used.

Results: The analysis showed that the students are characterised by a high level of ecological awareness and a sense of responsibility for it, and that is they are informed and pragmatic consumers. As involved and ecological consumers, they behave in a pro-ecological way and create desirable patterns of consumer behaviour.

Conclusions: It was found that the students have a sense of responsibility for the surrounding environment. Convinced about their individual influence, they create desirable patterns of proecological behaviour.
The “One-Line-Portraitˮ in to the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf: Freeing the Counter-Norms
Authors: Fau Hélène
Published: March 2019

At the Ramsay’s Scottish summer home, where guests are promised an illusory trip to the lighthouse, Lily Briscoe, a post-impressionist painter, indulges into portraying Mrs Ramsay. Throughout the novel, the portrait changes forms, starting as a moving tree in the first section ‘The Window’ and ending, after Mrs Ramsay’s death, as a single line in the very last page of the novel where Lily Briscoe sees it as completed. The “passage into abstraction” satisfies her for she executes the vision she had. The plot follows the same scheme, unfolding through shifting perspectives and oscillating between the figurative and abstract stream of consciousness of each character. It thus reflects Lily’s unstable portrait and paves the way for a deterritorialised writing. This paper will analyse how the “actes graphiques” (the drawn as well as the written items) mutate into an abstract – and therefore non- or a-gendered – line in order to release the un-articulated and un-lived antimainstream love between Lily Briscoe and Mrs Ramsay.
”Murderess of Two Husbands”: Female Agency as Female Loyalty in the History of the Nun
Authors: De Dios Torralbo Caballero Juan
Published: March 2019

This work studies the behaviour of the protagonist of The History of the Nun: or, The Fair Vow- Breaker (1689) to investigate both what motivates her decisions (from pious woman to murderer) and what the objectives of her author may be. The conclusion reached is that female agency and the transgressive desire developed by Aphra Behn presented a new conception of femininity. Behn challenges the social contract and subverts seventeenth century conceptions of gender. Through Isabella’s behaviour Behn challenges established feminine morality, postulating a new role for women within society. The implication is that the act of breaking a holy vow, and the courage shown by a woman determined to take responsibility for her own life and make her own decisions in society, inevitably ends in tragedy and disaster.
Consciously Rejecting the Magic – The Cases of Susan Pevensie and Petunia Dursley
Authors: Măcineanu Laura
Published: March 2019

Most characters in fantasy novels seem to be irresistibly drawn towards the world of magic, whether they can actually reach it or not. This paper deals with the special situations of Susan Pevensie in C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia and Petunia Dursley in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. Having had contact with magic, these two women find the strength to renounce dreaming about a reality that has closed its doors to them and build a “normal” functional life for themselves.

Authors: Ahmed T. , Alam Md. M. , Ferdows M. , Tzirtzilakis E.E.
Published: March 2019

Numerical studies have been performed to examine the chemically reacting ionized fluid flow through a vertical plate with induced magnetic field. This study is performed for the cooling problem. To obtain the nondimensional non-similar momentum, the induced magnetic field, energy and concentration equations, usual nondimensional variables have been used. The numerical solutions for the velocity fields, induced magnetic fields, temperature distribution as well as concentration distribution are obtained for associated parameters using the explicit finite difference method. The local and average shear stresses, current densities, Nusselt number as well as the Sherwood number are also investigated. The obtained results are discussed with the help of graphs to observe effects of various parameters entering into the problem. Also the stability conditions of the explicit finite difference method are analyzed. Finally, a qualitative comparison of the present results with previously published results has been made.
Unsteady MHD Thermal Diffusive and Radiative Fluid Flow Past a Vertical Porous Plate with Chemical Reaction in Slip Flow Regime
Authors: Kumar D. Ravi , Reddy K. Jayarami , Raju M.C.
Published: March 2019

An analytical solution of an MHD free convective thermal diffusive flow of a viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting and heat-absorbing fluid past a infinite vertical permeable porous plate in the presence of radiation and chemical reaction is presented. The flow is considered under the influence of a magnetic field applied normal to the flow. The plate is assumed to move with a constant velocity in the direction of fluid flow in slip flow regime, while free stream velocity is assumed to follow the exponentially increasing small perturbation law. The velocity, temperature, concentration, skin friction, Nusselt number and Sherwood number distributions are derived and have shown through graphs and tables by using the simple perturbation technique.

Jazyková Situace A Jazyková Politika Na Baleárských Ostrovech
Authors: Kadlec Jaromír
Published: March 2019

The paper will focus on the Balearic Islands, the autonomous community of Spain, located in the western Mediterranean Sea. The focus is placed not only on the demography and the linguistic situation but primarily on the linguistic politics and the language legislation of this territory. The Balearic Islands have the same political autonomy as the other Autonomous Communities of Spain which, however, use it far less than the other communities. Catalan is not for local inhabitants, who do not feel a strong belonging to the Catalan speaking world, so an essential part of identity as for the inhabitants of Catalonia and therefore the linguistic question for the local politicians is not such a priority as for the politicians in Catalonia. Even the sense of identity on the Islands is less intense than in Catalonia or the Basque Country, thanks to the migration from the different parts of Spain and from abroad. Despite the emancipation efforts, which we can observe even in other parts of Spain, Catalan on the Balearic Islands, due to the reasons mentioned above contrary to Catalonia, does not have any chance to resist Spanish or even to overpower it.
Pohľad Na Pomenovanie Cez Prizmu Teoretických Rámcov A Slovníkového Hesla
Authors: Jarošová Alexandra
Published: March 2019

The first part of this paper outlines the relevant aspects of functional structuralism serving lexicographers as a departure point for building a model of lexical meaning useable in the Dictionary of Contemporary Slovak Language. This section also points to some aspects of Klára Buzássyová’s research on lexis and word­formation that have enriched the functional­structuralist paradigm. The second section shows other theoretical and methodological frameworks, such as linguistic pragmatics, cognitive linguistics and corpus linguistics (all of them departing in some respect from the structuralism and, in other aspects, being complementary with it) that can enhance the structuralist basis of the model. The third section outlines an extended model of lexical meaning that represents a synthesis of all those theoretical frameworks and, at the same time, represents a reflection of three language constituents: 1. The social constituent is present in consideration of communicative functions of utterances, naming functions of lexical units, functional styles and registers, language norms, and situational contexts; 2. The psychological component takes the form of consideration of the prototype effect, the abolition of boundaries between linguistic meaning and other parts of cognition; 3. Thanks to the structural/systematic component, a description of paradigmatic and syntagmatic behaviour of words can be performed, and an inventory of formal­content units and categories (lexemes, lexies, word­forming and grammatical structures) can be provided.

In our dictionary practice, the above­mentioned model is reflected in the methodological procedures as follows: 1. Systemization of repetitive (regular, standardized) phenomena; 2. Prototypicalization of meaning description; 3. Contextualization/encyclopedization of meaning description; 4. Pragmatization of meaning description; 5. Continualized presentation of language phenomena, i.e., introduction of numerous phenomena of transient and indeterminate nature and indicating the existence of a semantic­pragmatic and lexical­grammatical continuum; 6. “Discretization” of combinatorial continuum, i.e., identification and description of entrenched word combinations with naming functions.
Dávno A Dlho V Sémantických A Komunikačných Súvislostiach
Authors: Sokolová Jana
Published: March 2019

The study analyses both the similar and different conceptualizations of the sections of the world reflected in Slovak adverbials dávno [‘a long time ago’] and dlho [‘for a long time’]. Lexicographic research documents that the adverbial dávno is ambisemantic and specifies temporal localization as well as durability; the adverbial dlho is monosemantic and expresses only durability. The author attempts to identify connections, which determine their semantic and communicative compatibility and complementarity as well as incompatibility and opposition. She deals with the issues of interrelatedness of semantic, grammatical and pragmatic perspectives, discursive use of adverbials within the framework of intentionality in communication (determinacy and indeterminacy), register of interpretation (narrative, dialogical), role in the communicative structure of the sentence (position of the theme and the position of the rheme), position of an observer (relativized or maximized), etc. Using the corpus findings, the paper clarifies the influence of the adverbial, pronominal and particular modifiers (už [‘already’] and ešte [‘yet’] in particular) on the meanings of both adverbials and their impact in the pragmatics of reasoning and doubt.
Асимметрия Членов Градуальных Рядов В Русском Языке: Семантика, Деривация, Сочетаемость
Authors: Харытончык Зінаіда Андрэеўна
Published: March 2019

The paper is focused on semantic peculiarities, derivational restrictions and specific combinatory properties of the lexical units in gradual paradigms of глубокий [‘deep’] – неглубокий [‘not deep’] – мелкий [‘shallow’], широкий [‘wide’] – неширокий [‘not wide’] – узкий [‘narrow’] type in Russian. Among factors which determine the speakers’ pragmatic attitudes to the non­identity of gradual paradigm member properties, the hyperonymic status of adjectives – general designations of some parameter (глубокий, широкий), type and significance of semantic modifications (negation, insufficient degree, etc.) are thought to be the leading ones.
K Pojmu Slovotvorné Solitérnosti
Authors: Štícha František
Published: March 2019

This paper focuses on different types of word­formation uniqueness. Wordformation uniqueness can be found in solitary word­formation structures, which the author defines as unique structures representing a specific word­formation type found in a single derivative. The basic and simplest type is represented by a unique affix in a single derivative in the respective language of a given time period. An example of this is the Czech noun obličej [‘face’]: the circumfix ob-ej (with -lič- as a radix to be found in the noun líce [‘cheek’]) is found in no other noun in the contemporary Czech. Another uniquely formed noun in contemporary Czech is the noun rukáv [‘sleeve’], derived from ruka [‘hand’] with the unique suffix -áv. Specific word­formation solitaires are theoretically conceived values. They are derivatives with a specific, but not uniquely found affix which is uniquely added to the stem of a single word of a specific part of speech, e.g. the very specific suffix -ule is added to the stem of the verb vrtět [‘to wag’] so that the noun vrtule [‘propeller’] is derived. This article shows that the notion of word­formation solitariness can be theoretically postulated on different levels of abstractness, both of the form and of the word­formation meaning.

Published: March 2019

Introduction. The study aimed to compare the etiologic spectrum of diseases causing fever of unknown origin (FUO) and methods for definitive diagnosis in a tertiary care hospital in the Republic of North Macedonia during two different time periods.

Patients and methods. There were analysed retrospectively the causes for FUO and final diagnostic approaches in 185 patients with classic FUO that were treated at the University Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Skopje during two time periods. Seventy nine patients were treated during 1991 to 1995 and 106 patients during 2011 to 2015.

Results. When comparing these two periods, infections were present in 46.8% and 29.2% (p = 0.014), non-infective inflammatory disorders in 22.8% and 25.5% (p = 0.674), neoplasms in 10.1% and 13.2% (p = 0.522), miscellaneous in 8.9% and 12.3% (p = 0.461) and undiagnosed cases in 11.4% and 19.8% (p = 0.124), respectively. The most common causes for FUO during the first period were abscesses (8.9%), tuberculosis and systemic lupus erythematosus (7.6% each), whereas in the second period the commonest causes were adult onset Still disease and solid organ neoplasm (7.6% each), polymyalgia rheumatica, abscesses and visceral leishmaniasis (5.7% each). The newer imaging techniques and clinical course evaluation had superior diagnostic significance during the second period.

Conclusion. A changing pattern of diseases causing FUO during the examined periods was evident. Infections continue to be the most common cause but with decreasing incidence when compared to 20 years ago. Even nowadays clinical evaluation and follow-up still remain the vital diagnostic tools in determining the etiology of FUO.
Evaluation of correlation between parameters from CPTU and DMT tests and soil type behavior chart
Authors: Rabarijoely Simon
Published: March 2019

This paper presents the correlation of soil parameters obtained from the dilatometer of the Marchetti (DMT) and the cone penetration tests (CPT). The data for the development of these correlations come from four experimental sites of the Department of Geotechnical Engineering of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW: test embankment in Antoniny, and the Koszyce and Nielisz water dams, Stegna test site, WULS-SGGW Campus. Additionally, the relationship between the soil behavior type classification index (Ic) from the Cone Penetration Test (CPT) and the material index (I D) from the dilatometer test (DMT) based on the Robertson method, modified in this paper, is presented. Finally, a new soil behavior type classification chart was presented, allowing to determine not only the type and condition of the soil, but also the stress history (OCR).
Priority landscapes in Brudzeń Landscape Park conservation plan
Authors: Cieszewska Agata , Wasilewski Maciej , Giedych Renata , Wałdykowski Piotr
Published: March 2019

The implementation of the European Landscape Convention in Poland requires the identification and landscape assessment in the form of a landscape audit made for each region (voivodeship), as enshrined in the Act on Spatial Planning and Land Development. The Act assumes that as part of landscape audit within regional parks priority landscapes as well as zones of landscape protection will be indicated. There are methodical tools prepared by the Ministry of the Environment to realize both main landscape audit elements – the instruction and the recommendations. Currently (at the end of 2018) no region of the audit is yet to be found, and the newly adopted conservation plans for regional parks enforce, in accordance with the Nature Conservation Act reference to both priority landscapes and zones. This article presents testing of the methodology proposed by the Ministry of the Environment for determining priority landscapes (the instruction) and landscape protection zones (the recommendations). The reference field was the conservation plan for Brudzeń Landscape Park (BLP) located in the Masovian Voivodeship. An attempt to implement particularly the Instructions and identify priority landscapes in the BLP conservation plan proved to be not fully possible. The analyzes carried out in the BLP call for the opinion that apart from the current landscape, it is necessary to take into account other than land use features of the environment that determine the specificity of the landscape – mainly terrain, additionally the catalog of current types of landscapes should be open. Tools prepared by the Ministry of the Environment – still need to be refined.
The small strain stiffness from bender elements tests for clayey soils
Authors: Markowska-Lech Katarzyna , Sas Wojciech , Lech Mariusz , Gabryś Katarzyna , Szymański Alojzy
Published: March 2019

The shear modulus of soils at small strain (G0) is one of the input parameters in a finite element analysis with the hardening soil model with small strain stiffness, required in the advanced numerical analyses of geotechnical engineering problems. The small strain stiffness can be determined based on the seismic wave velocities measured in the laboratory and field tests, but the interpretation of test results is still under discussion because of many different factors affecting the measurements of the wave travel time. The recommendations and proposed solutions found in the literature are helpful as a guide, but ought to be adopted with a certain measure of care and caution on a case-by-case basis. The equipment, procedures, tests results and interpretation analyses of bender elements (BE) tests performed on natural overconsolidated cohesive soils are presented.
Analysis of the use of selected reservoirs in the Wielkopolska province
Authors: Waligórski Błażej , Sojka Mariusz , Jaskuła Joanna , Korytowski Mariusz
Published: March 2019

The paper presents characteristics of six selected retention reservoirs located in the Wielkopolskie province, i.e. the Radzyny and Przebędowo reservoirs located near the city of Poznań, the Miedzichowo reservoir situated at the western border of the province, as well as the Stare Miasto and Jutrosin and Pakosław reservoirs, situated at the eastern and southern parts of the province, respectively. The paper also presents results of studies concerning water quality parameters in the selected reservoir of Przebędowo (at the inflow, within the reservoir and at the outflow) for the example year of 2016. The greatest water area of approx. 110 ha and at the same time the greatest capacity (2.88 million m3) at normal level damming (NLD) was found for the Radzyny reservoir on the Sama river, constructed in 2000, whereas the smallest water area (5.3 ha) and the smallest capacity (0.1 million m3) at NLD were recorded for the Miedzichowo reservoir, which was constructed in 2013. Apart from the positive aspects related to the operation of water storage reservoirs we frequently observe problems with their operation and use. In the winter periods they are mainly connected with the so-called icing, which has a negative and often destructive effect both on the condition of reservoir dams and on their banks. In turn, in the summer months a common problem in the operation of reservoirs results from obstruction from vegetation accumulated on the damming structures, which frequently reaches the dams particularly in periods characterised by high daily precipitation totals. Another common problem in terms of the operation of retention reservoirs is also related with the process of their eutrophication, connected with the influx of biogens. Analyses of selected water quality indexes for the Przebędowo reservoir showed, particularly in relation to nitrates and nitrites, their higher values at the inflow to the reservoir, indicating a considerable effect of land use in adjacent areas primarily in terms of fertilisation and the resulting runoff of biogens to the watercourse supplying the reservoir.
Competitiveness Through the Integration of Logistics Activities in SMEs
Authors: Omoruyi Osayuwamen
Published: March 2019

Logistics among competing organisations is a strategic management activity that can affect the operational, market and financial performance of an organisation. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) need to understand the role of logistics activities in achieving competitive performance and creating a high level of customer satisfaction through greater economies of scale in production and reduction in the price of goods. This study aims to determine the nature and extent of SMEs competitiveness through logistics activities. This research used a quantitative method of data collection and analysis. The data were statistically analysed using SPSS (25.0) as well as SMART-PLS (3.0) software for structural equation modelling (SEM) to assess the measurement reliability and the research structural model. The findings show that SMEs nature and extent of competitiveness based on logistics activities differs among the three measurement constructs, namely price/cost competitiveness, quality competitiveness and delivery competitiveness. This study adds value to the knowledge of the perceived benefits and importance of logistics activities among the participating SMEs.
Rényi Entropy and Rényi Divergence in the Intuitionistic Fuzzy Case
Authors: Riečan Beloslav , Markechová Dagmar
Published: March 2019

Our objective in this paper is to define and study the Rényi entropy and the Rényi divergence in the intuitionistic fuzzy case. We define the Rényi entropy of order of intuitionistic fuzzy experiments (which are modeled by IF-partitions) and its conditional version and we examine their properties. It is shown that the suggested concepts are consistent, in the case of the limit of q going to 1, with the Shannon entropy of IF-partitions. In addition, we introduce and study the concept of Rényi divergence in the intuitionistic fuzzy case. Specifically, relationships between the Rényi divergence and Kullback-Leibler divergence and between the Rényi divergence and the Rényi entropy in the intuitionistic fuzzy case are studied. The results are illustrated with several numerical examples.

Published: March 2019

Farklı yoğunluklardaki (250 W/L, 500 W/L, 750 W/L, sırasıyla A, B ve C grupları) ultrases (US) dalgalarının, vakum ambalajlanmış marine hamsilerin (Engraulis encrasicolus) raf ömrü boyunca TVB-N, TBAR‘s, pH, tekstür profil, su aktivitesi ve renk üzerine etkileri incelenmiştir. Elde edilen TVB-N sonuçlarına göre; US uygulanmamış marine hamsi grubu ile A ve B gruplarının raf ömrü 4 ay ve C grubunun raf ömrü 3 ay olarak belirlenmiştir. 750 W/L US uygulamasının marine hamsilerin raf ömrünü azalttığı tespit edilmiştir. Raf ömrü boyunca hiçbir grupta mikrobiyolojik üreme gözlenmemiştir. Bilgisayarlı görüntüleme teknolojisi ile belirlenen renk değerleri ve duyusal analiz sonuçları arasından en iyi grup A grubu olarak belirlenmiştir. Tüm sonuçlar değerlendirildiğinde, düşük yoğunluklu US uygulamasının, marine hamsilerin renk ve tekstür özellikleri üzerine olumlu etkileri olduğu ve panelistler tarafından beğenildiği bulunmuştur.

Effect of Smoke Solution of Sage (Salvia officinalis L.) on Root and Shoot Growth of Grass Pea (Lathyrus sativus L.)
Authors: Yaman Cennet , Başaran Uğur
Published: March 2019

In this study, the effect of different concentrations of smoke solution derived from sage (Salvia officinalis L.) on root and shoot growth of grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) was investigated in pots, in petri dishes (in vivo) and in vitro conditions. Smoke solution was obtained from hookah method and different concentrations (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) were prepared by diluting the stock solution with distilled water and, distilled water was used as control. Solutions were used starting water of petri and perlite media and to prepare MS0 for in vitro condition. Nodal segments of grass pea seedlings as explants were cultured on MS0 medium in vitro. Plant nutrients, antioxidants, organic or inorganic chemicals, and plant growth regulators are commonly used for plant development both in vivo and in vitro. However, their use has risks in terms of economic costs as well as nature, environment and human health. Therefore, use of naturally derived chemicals in these applications has great advantages. Observations for in vivo conditions were determinate after 7 days from sowing and 15 days after in vitro culture. The longest root length (6.089 cm) was determined in 75% smoke solution of sage and, while the longest shoot length (3.026 cm) was obtained from 100% smoke solution of sage on petri media. In perlite media, the highest root and shoot length were observed in pure water (control). İn vitro conditions, although shoot formation was above 85% in all applications, root formation was under 33%. The shortest shoot length was obtained from smoke solutions of 100% (5.02 cm), the longest shoot length was obtained from 25% and 75% concentrations of smoke solution, respectively 8.35 and 8.94 cm.

Published: March 2019

In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of enteritis, pneumonia and omphalitis on oxidative/antioxidant balance in the calves. In total, 27 calves with neonatal disease and 10 healthy calves (control) were used. The sick calves were divided into 3 groups according to localization of infection, omphalitis (n = 10), pneumonia (n = 8) and enteritis (n = 9). Blood samples of the calves were taken from jugular vein for analysis. Blood in tubes without anticoagulant was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 5 min following clotting, and the sera were removed and stored at -80Â°C until analyzed. Serum malondialdehyde and nitric oxide levels of all groups were significantly higher, while glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase levels were significantly lower compared to the control group. As a conclusion, diarrhea, pneumonia and omphalitis are caused by oxidative damage in the calves, and antioxidant treatment may be beneficial in the treatment of these diseases.

Published: March 2019

Kabupaten Jember merupakan kabupaten agraris dengan mata pencaharian utama dari pertanian agroindustri yang mencakup industri pengolahan hasil pertanian tanaman pangan. Komoditas tanaman pangan tertinggi di Kabupaten Jember adalah padi. Padi adalah komoditi penting yang merupakan makanan pokok sebagian besar penduduk Indonesia. Sampai saat ini ketergantungan pangan padi masih sangat besar. Dari total kalori yang dikonsumsi oleh masyarakat, hampir 60% dicukupi oleh beras. Meski komoditas tanaman pangan tertinggi di Kabupaten Jember adalah padi, tetapi masyarakat masih saja membutuhkan beras bulog sekitar 43.000 ton/tahun. Hal ini semakin tidak menguntungkan petani, maupun Negara Indonesia. Oleh sebab itu, perlunya peningkatan produktivitas tanaman pangan dengan pengoptimalan penggunaan lahan pertanian yang tersedia. Pengoptimalan lahan yang dimaksud adalah dengan pemilihan lahan terbaik yang dapat meningkatkan produktivitas tanaman pangan. Pemilihan lahan terbaik tersebut dinilai berdasarkan kriteria-kriteria yang telah ditetapkan antara lain curah hujan, suhu, ketinggian tanah, dan ph tanah. Keberadaan sistem pendukung keputusan dalam bidang pertanian dapat membantu Dinas Pertanian untuk membuat keputusan melalui perencanaan yang baik dan tepat dalam memaksimalkan penggunaan lahan untuk pencapaian sasaran dan hasil yang diharapkan yaitu meningkatnya produktivitas tanaman pangan.
