Interdisciplinary groups perception on impact of technology: A study in Petro-Chemical sector
Authors: Kundu Amit , Majumdar Ramanuj
Published: August 2019

In today’s competitive business environment firms who can afford to invest on superior technology are in general found to be more efficient. In technology driven industries companies tend to encash upon the benefits of the superior technology, engage in continuous innovation and invest in R&D to gain competitive advantage. Notwithstanding this phenomenon, adoption of superior technology by any industry is extremely challenging. Even, Small and Medium size Enterprises (SMEs) in a developing country are often incapable of adopting the latest technology. Because they are expensive and moreover it leads to disruption to the traditional way of doing business and even different managerial functions differ on the adoption of technology.

This research paper collected perception regarding impact of technology by three broad managerial functions such as Operations, Marketing, Product development & Innovation of a large Petrochemical company. With the help of Conjoint Analysis, Part worth and Ideal Achievement Index (AI) have been estimated. These estimates enable us to assess the perception of three inter disciplinary managerial groups regarding impact of technology on the downstream units (nearly 500 companies) of a Petro-Chemical Company in India.

Published: August 2019

Mathematical models that explain match outcome, based on the value of technical performance indicators (PIs), can be used to identify the most important aspects of technical performance in team field-sports. The purpose of this study was to evaluate several methodological opportunities, to enhance the accuracy of this type of modelling. Specifically, we evaluated the potential benefits of 1) modelling match outcome using an increased number of seasons and PIs compared with previous reports, 2) how to identify eras where technical performance characteristics were stable and 3) the application of a novel feature selection method. Ninety-one PIs across sixteen Australian Football (AF) League seasons were analysed. Change-point and Segmented Regression analyses were used to identify eras and they produced similar but non-identical outcomes. A feature selection ensemble method identified the most valuable 45 PIs for modelling. The use of a larger number of seasons for model development lead to improvement in the classification accuracy of the models, compared with previous studies (88.8 vs 78.9%). This study demonstrates the potential benefits of large databases when creating models of match outcome and the pitfalls of determining whether there are eras in a longitudinal database.

Published: August 2019

DFT analyses of electronic and optical spectra of barium cadmium chalcogenides (Ba2CdX3, X = S, Se, Te) have been carried out. The study of electronic spectra has been made in terms of band structure and density of states using full potential linear augmented plane wave plus local orbital method. Band structure calculations have been carried out under the approximations PBE-GGA, PBE-Sol, LDA and TB-mBJ. Band structures of these materials show that Ba2CdS3, Ba2CdSe3 and Ba2CdTe3 crystals possess a band gap less than 1 eV, underestimated relative to the experimental/theoretical literature values. Optical spectra of these chalcogenides have been analyzed in terms of real and imaginary parts of dielectric function, reflectivity, refractive index, extinction coefficient, absorption coefficient, optical conductivity and electron energy loss. Optical results show large anisotropy along different directions. These results provide a physical basis of barium cadmium chalcogenides for potential application in optoelectronic devices.
Preparation and characterization of cobalt and copper oxide nanocrystals
Authors: Moharram A. H.
Published: August 2019

Copper oxide and cobalt oxide (Co3O4, CuO) nanocrystals (NCs) have been successfully prepared using microwave irradiation. The obtained powders of the nanocrystals (NCs) were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The obtained results confirm the presence of both nanooxides which have been produced during chemical precipitation using microwave irradiation. TEM micrographs have shown that the obtained nanocrystals are characterized by high dispersion and narrow size distribution. The results of X-ray diffraction confirmed those obtained from the transmission electron microscope. Optical absorption analysis indicated the direct band gap for both kinds of the nanocrystals.

Authors: Szychowska Agnieszka , Ruszkowska Joanna , Drygas Wojciech
Published: August 2019

Sports stadia play an important role in local communities, therefore they are seen as very suitable places for various health promotion programmes. Since 2005, the Healthy Stadia programme has become a new standard for establishing policies regarding health promotion in local communities and during big international tournaments. This programme is an example of an effective setting-based approach to health promotion. Being funded by the European Union Public Health Programme, it has gained popularity in many European countries and also in Canada and Australia. Key parts of the programme include policies on tobacco and alcohol control, healthy food options and physical activity promotion on stadium grounds. Healthy Stadia programme proved to be an effective tool for promoting healthy lifestyle at many sports stadia. The programme is constantly improving and developing new projects, like Football Fans in Training (FFIT) or European Fans in Training (EuroFIT). This article provides an introduction to the programme’s main parts as well as its origins and future projects. Poland is active member of the Healthy Stadia since 2007.
Glycemic index and glycemic load in preventive cardiology – the state of knowledge, selected controversies
Authors: Skrzypek Michał , Momora Agnieszka , Krzyszycha Renata
Published: August 2019

The current epidemiological situation in Poland is characterized by prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) as the main cause of mortality. In the paper the current state of knowledge on the importance of glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) in CVD prevention is presented, taking into consideration the latest recommendations on CVD prevention. In a nutrition strategy based on consumption of low GI/GL foods, the target of the intervention is the profile of dietary carbohydrates which is treated as a modulator of glycemic response. In the light of the current state of research, there is no reason to treat GI/GL values as markers of pro-health qualities of the dietary plan recommended in CVD prevention to individuals with normal glucose homeostasis. However, the preventive potential of diets characterized by low GI/GL deserves a more extensive application in patients with glucose homeostasis disturbances, including those with prediabetes and insulin resistance syndrome. Taking into account the relations between abnormal carbohydrate metabolism and a risk of developing diabetes, followed by CVD, the benefits of low-glycemic diets in individuals with impaired glucose homeostasis can indirectly result in lowering the risk of CVD. It is reasonable to conduct further clinical studies on the relevance of low GI/GL diets in preventive cardiology.

Geology and Mineral Potential of Copper-Silver mineralization in Kulu district of Himachal Pradesh, India.
Authors: Singh Rajinder Kumar , Kumar Surendra , Sikdar Ratikant
Published: August 2019

Naraul Formation of the Larji Group in Kulu district of Himachal Pradesh contains the major strata bound Copper mineralization at many places as observed through old working near Naraul, Danala and Kanda in Sainj Valley of Kulu district exposing the Proterozoic Northwestern Himalayan belt. The same structural belt is also known for Silver mineralisation around Manikaran. At Naraul, a regional stratigraphic and mineralogical framework of the Naraul Formation for mineralogical resource assessment was viewed. The old workings within 4-5 km long and 200-300m wide along the NW- SE trending structural trend cover the main ore potential zones. The ore mineralisation seems to be alike the copper silver deposit of the Revett Formation of Montana and Idaho, USA. The deposit in Naraul needs further more drilling investigation and exploration for actual reserve assessment.
Novel Hierarchical Copper-Based Metal-Organic Frameworks for Improved Catalytic Performance
Authors: Doan Huan , Madapusi Srinivasan , Chiang Ken , Pattisson Samuel , Taylor Stuart H. , Ting Valeska
Published: August 2019

Introducing additional meso- or macroporosity into traditionally microporous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a very promising way to improve the catalytic performance of these materials, mostly due to the resultant reductions of diffusional barriers during liquid-phase or gas-phase reactions. Here we show that HKUST-1 can be successfully synthesised either via post-synthetic treatment (etching prepared HKUST-1 samples in phosphoric acid, here called HKUST AE) or via in situ crystallisation (exposing the MOF precursor solution to supercritical CO2, here called HKUST CO2) to produce hierarchically porous structures that are highly beneficial for catalysis. These hierarchical MOFs were characterised by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and gas sorption to confirm the preservation of the microscopic structure and the appearance of macropores in the crystallites. More importantly, the benefits of introducing these hierarchical porous structures into this MOF for improving the diffusion accessibility of reagents to the sample in catalysed liquid- and gas-phase reactions were quantified for the first time. It was found that the hierarchical pore structure helped to increase the reaction conversion of styrene oxide methanolysis (by ~65 % using either HKUST AE and HKUST CO2, at 40 oC in 25 min) and CO oxidation (by 55 % using HKUST CO2 at 260 oC). These findings demonstrate the advantage of using hierarchical porous MOFs in catalysis.
Identifying Eigen-Like Hydrated Protons at Negatively Charged Interfaces
Authors: Tyrode Eric , Sengupta Sanghamitra , Sthoer Adrien
Published: August 2019

Despite the importance of the hydrogen ion in a wide range of biological, chemical, and physical processes, its molecular structure in solution remains lively debated. Progress has been primarily hampered by the extreme diffuse nature of the vibrational signatures of hydrated protons in bulk solution. Using the inherently surface-specific vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy, we show that at selected negatively charged interfaces, a resolved spectral feature directly linked to the H3O+ core in an Eigen-like species can be readily identified in a biologically compatible pH range. The results offer a new molecular perspective for tracking and understanding the behaviour of hydrated protons at interfaces.

Modern Ukrainian culture integrates in the world one actively, thus sharpening the problem of reception of Ukrainian literature as a main constituent of Ukrainian culture, what leads us to the problem of reception of literary works by Oksana Zabuzhko as a renowned Ukrainian writer. Since “Girls” short story is not paid much attention to in Ukrainian philological studies, the main purpose of this research is to outline the peculiarities of this short story in its Ukrainian and English versions. In the research process the main concepts — the “Darka” and “Effie” concepts — are established and deconstructed, with concepts that constitute them. The links between all the concepts are demonstrated. Also the main differences between the conceptual fields Ukrainian original and English translation of the short story are examined.
Variation in accusative singular nominal forms in Ukrainian: a corpora-based research
Authors: Шведова М. О.
Published: August 2019

The paper studies the variation between two forms of inanimate nominal forms in accusative singular for masculine declension in Ukrainian. With some nouns two forms are possible: the one coinciding with nominative (which is the default standard way for inanimate nouns in East Slavic) and coinciding with genitive (according to the pattern attested normally with animate nouns). The study is based on the General Regionally Annotated Corpus of Ukrainian (GRAC, uacorpus.org) that contains about 190 million tokens of standard-oriented literary representing all the regions of Ukraine since the beginning of the 19th century until the latest decades. It is found that the presence of the variation (that is of the genitive-like forms) is governed by the semantic properties of both nouns and transitive verbs that enter into the construction in question. The variation is present mainly with concrete nouns belonging to certain semantic fields (body parts, money, awards, documents and stationery, clothes, food, little objects and devices, weapon, transport) that are governed by verbs of acquisition, positioning, change of position, extraction, distancing, desire, search etc. Many such collocations are phraseologically bound (such as vterty nosa ‘to show advantage over somebody’, literally ‘to wipe somebody’s nose’). Normative dictionaries tend to exclude the use of abstract nouns in the form that coincides with genitive (such as hrex ‘sin’ and dux ‘spirit’), whereas the phraseologisms with these nouns are present in the text. The frequency of the form in question differs by regions in a way that corresponds to their spread in the respective dialects. This form is at its maximum in the central regions of Ukraine (the Kyiv, Cherkasy regions), in the south (the Kherson region and Crimea) and in the west (the Khmelnytskyi and Ternopil regions), and they are the less frequent in the east (the Luhansk and Donetsk regions) and in the north (the Sumy, Chernihiv and Rivne regions). The findings are illustrated with corpora examples and statistical data.

Paternal knee height, but not smoking or psychosocial stressors, predict offspring telomere length in a cohort in the Philippines
Authors: Eisenberg Dan , Rej Peter H , Duazo Paulita , Carba Delia , Hayes M. Geoffrey , Kuzawa Christopher W.
Published: August 2019

Telomeres are repeating DNA sequences found at the ends of chromosomes, which are typically shortened with each cell replication and are considered biomarkers of aging. Contrary to the shortening of telomeres that occurs with age in most human tissues, spermatocyte telomere length (TL) increases with age. These age-related changes in TL appear to be heritable, as offspring of older fathers tend to have longer TL. Animal model research suggests that smoking, inflammation, DNA damage, and environmental stressors may shorten sperm TL, raising questions about the potential for intergenerational effects of paternal experience on human offspring TL. Using multigenerational data from a longitudinal cohort study in the Philippines, we tested if smoking, psychosocial stressors, or shorter knee height (an anthropometric measure of early life adversity) predict shorter offspring TL. While we did not find the predicted associations, we observed a trend towards fathers with shorter knee height and taller non-knee height having offspring with longer TL. In addition, we found that knee height interacted with paternal age at conception to predict offspring TL – i.e. fathers with shorter knee heights showed a stronger positive effect of paternal age at conception on offspring TL. While the reasons for these associations remain uncertain, shorter relative knee height and taller relative non-knee height are characteristics of earlier puberty. Since sperm TL increases with the division of spermatocytes, we speculate that individuals who begin puberty earlier may have had more time to accumulate longer sperm telomeres with age, which are then passed on to offspring.

Handelte es sich bei dem Beitrag des Präsidenten der Freien Universität Berlin Günther M. Ziegler “Die Bedeutung der Verlage wandelt sich” wieder nur um ein “Loblied auf “Open Access" als Zukunft des wissenschaftlichen Publizierens”? Diesen Vorwurf jedenfalls machte Wolfgang Sander dem Präsidenten in seinem kurzen Kommentar vom 12. Juni 2019. Doch nicht in jeder Kürze liegt immer auch Würze: Die von Sander vorgetragenen, aber kaum näher begründeten Vorbehalte gegen Open Access sind, wie im Folgenden ausgeführt, nicht stichhaltig. Auf das von Ziegler beschriebene und kritisierte Geschäftsmodell wissenschaftlicher Verlage geht Sander mit keinem Wort ein.

SISTEM MANAJEMEN MADRASAH DALAM MENINGKATKAN KUALITAS PENDIDIKAN ISLAM
Authors: zulhamnen
Published: August 2019

Lembaga pendidikan Islam memiliki peranan yang sangat besar dalam pendidikan nasional. Hal ini disebabkan lantaran pendidikan nasional tidak dapat dipisahkan dengan nilai-nilai agama. Nilai-nilai ilahiah telah dijadikan basis dalam pelaksanaan setiap proses pembelajaran di dalam lembaga pendidikan Islam. Lembaga pendidikan Islam selain mendorong siswa dalam aspek keagamaan yang kuat juga membubuhkan pembelajaran dalam bidang ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi yang tidak kalah bila dibandingkan dengan lembaga pendidikan umum sederajat. Hal itu disebabkan oleh pengaruh dari ide-ide pembaruan yang berkembang di dunia Islam dan kebangkitan bangsa Indonesia sehingga sedikit demi sedikit pelajaran umum masuk ke dalam kurikulum madrasah. Buku-buku pelajaran agama mulai disusun khusus sesuai dengan tingkatan madrasah, seperti halnya buku pengetahuan yang belaku di sekolah-sekolah umum. Dari hal tersebut, pengelolaan lembaga madrasah dalam rangka peningkatan mutu pendidikan, harus memuat lima hal penting: aspek manajemen, pemanfaatan komputer dan internet dalam pembelajaran, budaya kerja tim (team work), pemanfaatan alat bantu pembelajaran dan keterlibatan guru, siswa, orang tua dan stakeholder.

Economic democracy in the 21st century: the vote in labour, capital and public services
Authors: McGaughey Ewan
Published: August 2019

How should power be shared in the economy? This article offers a framework, and three models, for making choices about the economy’s main legal institutions: for property in capital, the obligations related to work, and organisation of corporate persons. An authoritarian economic model entails financial institution or director control of capital; a duty to work and state control of unions; and the principle of ‘leadership’. A neo-liberal model advocates individual capital ownership including employee share schemes; individual ‘freedom’ of contract and privatised unions; and information and consultation as the limits of voice. A democratic model advocates diverse share ownership through pensions, wealth funds, and public bodies; collective bargaining and independent unions; and codetermination for workers and citizens based on one-person, one vote. Most countries have an unsettled mixture of these models. The UK, Germany, and the US are analysed as case studies, and empirical evidence is summarised which suggests that a more democratic economy enables greater human development. Because reason and evidence will remain the basis for public policy and debate, it seems economic democracy in the 21st century will swiftly become reality.
New material of “Eurysternidae” (Thalassochelydia, Pan-Cryptodira) from the Kimmeridgian of the Swiss Jura Mountains
Authors: Püntener Christian , Anquetin Jérémy , Billon-Bruyat Jean-Paul
Published: August 2019

The region of Porrentruy (Swiss Jura Mountains) is known for its rich and diverse assemblage of Late Jurassic coastal marine turtles (Thalassochelydia). Dominated by the “Plesiochelyidae”, this assemblage also includes representatives of the two other thalassochelydian groups, the “Thalassemydidae” and “Eurysternidae.” In this study, we present new shell-based material from Porrentruy referable to eurysternids. One specimen represents a juvenile individual or a relatively small taxon, and is notably characterized by a well fenestrated plastron exhibiting a wider than long central plastral fontanelle. Two other specimens are much larger and possibly represent the largest eurysternids known to date. The fourth specimen is characterized by a unique plastral morphology otherwise only known in very small juveniles. This is the first time this unique plastral morphology is known to persist in an adult or subadult. The new material described herein represents at least three distinct taxa, all of them probably new. However, we refrain from naming new species based on this incomplete material in order to avoid adding confusion to an already complex taxonomical situation. This study provides new insights into the great diversity of eurysternids during the Late Jurassic.
Rationalizations Primarily Serve Reputation Management, Not Decision Making
Authors: Altay Sacha , Mercier Hugo
Published: August 2019

We agree with Cushman that rationalizations are the product of biological adaptations, but we disagree about their function. The data available do not show that rationalizations allow us to reason better and make better decisions. The data suggest instead that rationalizations serve reputation management goals, and that they affect our behaviors because we are held accountable by our peers.
Behavioral explanations reduce retributive punishment but not reward: The mediating role of conscious will
Authors: Confer Joshua , Chopik William J.
Published: August 2019

Conceptions of responsibility are associated with the degree to which people ascribe conscious will to others. However, it is not known how the biological and environmental circumstances of moral actors independently impact attributions of conscious will. Although reductions in conscious will are associated with diminished punishment of criminals, does a reduced sense of conscious will of a hero affect support for reward? In two pre-registered studies (total N=2,668), we investigated the effects of biological or environmental histories on judgements of punishment and reward. Biological and environmental circumstances (especially biological) reduced perceptions of conscious will, which in turn reduced conviction judgements and punishment severity (Studies 1-2). In the context of a moderated mediation, we found that reductions in perceptions of conscious will were unrelated for a desire to reward a hero (Study 2). Findings are discussed in the context of a model of judgement, conscious will, and responsibility.
The Impact of BMI on Mental Health: Further Evidence from Genetic Markers
Authors: Amin Vikesh , Flores Carlos A , Flores-Lagunes Alfonso
Published: August 2019

We examine the relationship between BMI and mental health for young adults and elderly individuals using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and the Health & Retirement Study. While OLS estimates show that BMI is significantly associated with worse mental health in both young adulthood and old age, they are likely to be confounded by (i) unobserved factors that affect both BMI and mental health and (ii) reverse causality. To tackle confounding, we take two complementary approaches. First, we use a polygenic score for BMI as an IV and adjust for polygenic scores for other factors that may invalidate this IV. The IV estimates indicate that there is no statistically significant relationship between BMI and mental health for young adults, whereas there is a positive and statistically significant relationship for the elderly. Moreover, we show that IV estimates likely have to be interpreted as identifying a weighted average of effects of BMI on mental health mostly for individuals on the upper quantiles of the BMI distribution. Given potential remaining concerns about the validity of the IV, our second approach is to consider it an “imperfect” IV and estimate an upper bound on the average treatment effect for the corresponding population following Nevo & Rosen (2012). The estimated upper bounds reinforce the conclusions from the IV estimates: they show little evidence of a detrimental effect of BMI on mental health for young adults while being consistent with an economically meaningful effect for elderly individuals. Lastly, we explore some of the potential channels through which BMI may affect mental health for the elderly.
Poetry as a dictionary
Authors: Kling O. A. , Orlova E. I.
Published: August 2019

Devoted to the poetry of I. Volgin’s later years, the article introduces his two latest books, Personal Data [Personalnie dannye] (2016), and Explanatory Dictionary [Tolkovyi slovar] (2019), and points out the changes in his lyrical poetry in the 2010s. The authors especially focus on Volgin’s language, which admits the latest slang but also follows classical examples, something which typifies the language of modern literature. The ‘new’ Volgin adopts the parlance of his protagonist, a product of contemporary mass media, who is at the same time endowed with certain autobiographical features of a self-reflecting hero. The result of this code-mixing is contagious: rooted in 19th c. culture, it can express both those overtones and the present mixture of seriousness and irony. Most importantly, however, it can read a man’s life like a text, and see nature within a cultural context. In Volgin’s works, these two worlds are mutually accessible, and this feature of his poetry is one of the keys to modern poetry in general.
A mediation court: Demian Bedny and Artyom Vesyoly
Authors: Levin S. H.
Published: August 2019

The article focuses on the dispute in writing between Demian Bedny and Artyom Vesyoly: namely, on D. Bedny’s invective ‘While we were thinking…’ [‘A my-to dumali…’], published in Izvestiyain 1928, and A. Vesyoly’s response ‘My answer to the literary hero’ [‘Moy otvet literaturnomu geroyu’], circulated the same year as a letter to literary organizations and editorial offices of periodicals. Using this hitherto unpublished material, the article compares Bedny’s feuilleton with Vesyoly’s epistolary response and characterizes the two authors’ social standing and beliefs, their creative principles and fates. Elevated to the rank of ‘the great proletarian writer’, second only to M. Gorky and bestowed with numerous awards, D. Bedny was losing every trace of artistic individuality under the heavy pressure of political and moral conformism. Whereas A. Vesyoly, a rebel and romantic, rejected conformism and was determined to follow his own path of searching and daring experimentation. The dispute between the two authors about the nature of talent and the integrity of a writer was finally resolved by a ‘mediation court’; time was the ultimate arbiter.
A survey on the most in-demand books in Moscow libraries
Authors: Sekretov S. S.
Published: August 2019

The article presents a survey of readers’ demand for books and periodicals conducted in Moscow libraries in 2018, which analyzes readers’ tastes and preferences. The most in-demand serious fiction writers include E. Vodolazkin, A. Ivanov, Z. Prilepin, A. Rubanov, D. Rubina and G. Yakhina. The author enumerates the reasons for a particular writer, book or journal to keep their top position in the readers’ ratings over a long period of time. Also described are writers’ advertising strategies, as well as the influence of television and screen adaptations on readers’ demand for new books. Noviy Mirhas long established itself as the main thick literary journal. The article also raises the issue of dwindling circulation of literary journals, and offers advice to writers, editors, publishers and librarians about promoting their products. As a separate topic, the article examines a growing demand for translated literature (published, among others, in Inostrannaya Literatura), as well as for children’s books.
‘Every book is a part of life’
Authors: Ermakova I. A. , Skvortsov A. E.
Published: August 2019

In her interview with the critic and scholar A. Skvortsov, the poet I. Ermakova discusses modern poetry, its authors and processes. Starting as a conversation about the poet’s artistic evolution and mentioning her work as a translator, author of regular publications in various think journals, and her numerous poetic prizes, the interview gradually moves on to examining the contemporary poetic reality, which Ermakova describes as ‘the era of Oleg Chukhontsev’. She argues that the value of Chukhontsev’s poetry lies in its absolute precision of word choice and accurate and truthful depiction of familiar reality. In such an attempt to display the world undistorted, modern poets turn to related art forms, up to the cinematic, however few reach this level.

The interview, therefore, provides Ermakova’s assessment of the contemporary literary environment, her views on how one can join the literary process, and contemplations about the problem of the reader of modern poetry: whether they exist, and who they are.
