Pecuniary incentive in tournaments and effects of players’ heterogeneity on efforts in the association of tennis professionals
Authors: Jane Wen-Jhan
Published: July 2018

This article addresses the issues of players? heterogeneity in individual efforts and winning probability in the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) games. ATP players? personal characteristics and performance from 2011 to 2013 are collected. The results show that a negative impact of the matchup?s heterogeneity on the intensity of the game is found. The evidence thus indicates that the two players play harder when the heterogeneity is smaller. Evidence also indicate that the pecuniary incentive in tournaments is supported, and appearance of a superstar makes his opponent exert less effort. In the odds ratio analysis for the players? heterogeneity, a rank differential increases a favorite player with 1.004% winning percentage in ATP matches. Younger, lower BMI, experienced, and right-hand players are more likely to win.

Published: July 2018

The 3-D mixed convective heat transfer inside a ventilated cavity partially heated is studied numerically by using control volume method. The heating square portion similar to the integrated electronic devices is placed on the left vertical wall of the enclosure. The right vertical wall is maintained at ambient temperature and all other walls are adiabatic. The results are presented in terms of flow structures, temperature distribution, and global average Nusselt number for various combinations of thermal controlling parameters, namely, the Richardson number (0 ? Ri ? 10), the Reynolds number (10 ? Ri ? 200), the heating section dimension (0. ? ? ? 0.7), and the relative height of the openings B = h/L = 1/8. It is found that for the low Reynolds number the heat transfer process is carried out only by conduction. On the other hand, the highest thermal performance is achieved by reducing the heating section dimension.

Published: July 2018

Different mathematical models can describe coal devolatilization as the part of combustion process. Some models are simple, while others are more complex and take into account coal's complexity and heterogeneity of structure. A chemical percolation devolatilization model for describing the devolatilization process of two Serbian lignites from Kostolac and Kolubara open coal mines was studied. Results of the model were compared to devolatilization measurements obtained from two experimental methods ? a wire mesh reactor and thermogravimetric analysis. Two coal samples with four different granulations were investigated for each lignite under different experimental conditions (different maximum temperatures and heating rates). Total volatile yields obtained from the wire mesh reactor and thermogravimetric analysis together with results predicted by the chemical percolation devolatilization model are presented and compared with literature data. For thermogravimetric analysis simulation, the chemical percolation devolatilization model yielded better results in cases where the kinetic parameters obtained under experimental conditions were used rather than kinetic parameters derived from predefined values in the model itself. For wire mesh reactor, the chemical percolation devolatilization model predictions of devolatilization were mixed and were dependent on temperature.

A természeti környezet abiotikus tényezőit összefoglaló geodiverzitás jelentőségének felismerése az elmúlt 30 évben kapott egyre szélesebb körű nyilvánosságot. Az erre épülő geoturizmus a bemutatóhelyek számának növekedésével, minőségi fejlesztésével látványos növekedésen ment keresztül, ahogyan a két hazai UNESCO Globális Geopark (Novohrad–Nógrád, Bakony–Balaton) látogatottsága is bizonyítja. Az ilyen jellegű fejlesztések a geodiverzitás elemeinek több szempontú szakmai felmérését, minősítő értékelését igénylik. Hasonló elvárás merül fel a földtudományi természetvédelem részéről is a veszélyeztetettségi kockázatok meghatározásában. A geodiverzitás minősítésére koncentráló katasz teri munka alapegységét a geotópok képezik, amelyek lehetnek természetes vagy mesterséges feltárások, (felhagyott) bányák, egyéb antropogén hatásra létrejött objektumok, de egyedi azonosításukat mindenképpen a létrehozó geológiai, geomorfológia folyamat(ok) teszi(k) lehetővé (vulkáni, karszt stb. geotópok). Ezek alapján tanulmányunk áttekintést nyújt a geotóp minősítés és értékelés fejlődéséről, külön kiemelve a közelmúltban publikált két kvantitatív módszert, amelyeket a hazai földtudományi örökség jól ismert és kevésbé reprezentatív objektumainak értékeléséhez használtunk fel. A mintegy 60 geotóp esetében külön-külön meghatároztuk a tudományosoktatási, tájképi–esztétikai, turisztikai potenciál és védelem–veszélyeztetettségi kockázatok értékeit. Ehhez társul bemutathatóság–geoturisztikai potenciál minősítése, külön hangsúlyt fektetve a geotópok eltérő jogi védelméből (pl.nemzeti park, tájvédelmi körzet, természetvédelmi terület, ex lege) és a geoturisztikai infrastruktúra eltérő fejlettségéből (látogatóközpontok, bemutatóhelyek, tanösvények) jelentkező különbségekre. A szerzők aktívan közreműködtek a Magyar Geotóp nap rendezvénysorozat életre hívásában, ennek megfelelően a tanulmány a földtudományi ismeretterjesztés lehetőségeit is számba veszi.
Tyypillisesti kehittyneiden lasten ja lasten, joilla on kielellinen erityisvaikeus tai autismikirjon häiriö, suoriutuminen Edmonton Narrative Norms Instrument (ENNI) -kerrontatestissä
Authors: Mäkinen Leena , Loukusa Soile , Kunnari Sari
Published: July 2018

Tässä tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin 4–8-vuotiaiden (N = 171) tyypillisesti kehittyneiden lasten suoriutumista Edmonton Narrative Norms Instrument (ENNI) -kerrontatestissä. Lisäksi tutkittiin testin kykyä erotella lapset, joilla on kielellinen erityisvaikeus (N = 19) tai autismikirjon häiriö (N = 16) ikään ja sukupuoleen kaltaistetuista verrokkilapsista. Kertomuksista analysoitiin tarinan sisällön määrä kertomuskielioppikategorioiden mukaisesti arvioituna ja tuotettujen sanojen kokonaismäärä. Tulosten perusteella voidaan todeta, että sisällön ilmentäminen ja tuotettujen sanojen kokonaismäärä kehittyivät iän myötä. Erityisesti ENNI-testi näyttäisi erottelevan 4–5- ja 5–6-vuotiaat tyypillisesti kehittyneet lapset toisistaan ja vanhemmistaikäryhmistä. Sukupuolten välisiä eroja kerrontataidoissa ei havaittu. Ne lapset, joilla on kielellinen erityisvaikeus tai autismikirjon häiriö, suoriutuivat verrokkilapsiaan heikommin tarinan sisällön ilmentämisessä. Kielihäiriöisten lasten kertomukset olivat lisäksi verrokkilasten tarinoita lyhempiä. Koska suomalaislasten kerrontataitojen arvioimiseen on käytettävissä varsin niukasti tutkittuja menetelmiä, ENNI-testi voi tuoda tarvittavan lisän paikkaamaan tätä puutetta. Viitearvojen käytössä tulee kuitenkin olla varovainen, koska suuri vaihtelu on kerronnalle tyypillistä.

Published: July 2018

Los nuevos Objetivos Mundiales y la Agenda 2030 para el desarrollo sostenible, reafirman que no es posible desarrollo sin paz, ni paz sin desarrollo sostenible, enfatizan que la educación es el medio para lograrlo. Por su parte el Ecuador se declaró como un país de paz, en su Constitución del 2008 determinó que las acciones universitarias deben responder a las necesidades del país como manifestación de su responsabilidad social. Sin embargo no se especifican aspectos relacionados a promover una educación para la paz.

En este contexto se configura la investigación con el objetivo de establecer desde la mirada de los docentes y estudiantes, cómo la educación para la paz debería ser considerada en la acción universitaria. Se realizó un estudio exploratorio a través de revisión bibliográfica y mediante muestreo no probabilístico se aplicaron encuestas en las universidades públicas domiciliadas en Quito. Los resultados muestran la preocupación mayoritaria sobre la importancia de incorporar la educación para la paz como una dimensión orientadora del ejercicio de la responsabilidad social. Es posible educar para la paz, entre otras formas fomentando desde ambientes educativos distintos una cultura de respeto, tolerancia, práctica de valores, igualdad de oportunidades y participación democrática en los diferentes ámbitos universitarios.

Este artículo está dirigido a analizar la incidencia de la contabilidad creativa en el gobierno corporativo de las empresas al manipular las cifras mediante el aprovechamiento de los vacíos legales. Artificio que permite formar una matriz de opinión positiva frente a sus stakeholders y en especial, si tiene un efecto significativo, en el valor de sus acciones. El problema radica en el cumplimiento de los objetivos sin importar la forma, utilizando la permisibilidad, subjetividad y ambigüedad en la interpretación de la normativa legal. En este contexto, la presente investigación busca determinar las causas y efectos que produce la utilización de la contabilidad creativa en el gobierno corporativo de las empresas. Para tal fin se realizará una descripción teórica de tipo documental, que consistirá en la búsqueda, organización y análisis de varios artículos científicos y de revisión relacionados con el tema.

Entre las conclusiones se determinó que la contabilidad creativa sin importar la razón por la que se utilice, ya sea por estrategia empresarial o para el cometimiento de un fraude siempre va a proporcionar información imperfecta. Situación que permite el encubrimiento de hechos que profundizan las diferencias de intereses entre los accionistas y los administradores de las empresas.

Investigation of production forecast biases of simulation models in a benchmark case
Authors: Botechia Vinicius Eduardo , Gaspar Ana Teresa Ferreira da Silva , Avansi Guilherme Daniel , Davolio Alessandra , Schiozer Denis José
Published: July 2018

Reservoir management decisions are often based on simulation models and probabilistic approaches. Thus, the response of the model must be sufficiently accurate to base sound decisions on and fast enough to be practical for methodologies requiring many simulation runs. However, simulation models often forecast production rates different to real production rates for various reasons. Two possible causes of these deviations are (1) upscaling (a technique to reduce the computational time of simulation models by reducing the number of grid blocks) and (2) uncertainties (the values established to attributes are different from real values caused by lack of knowledge of real reservoir). Morosov and Schiozer [(2016) applied a closed-loop technique in a benchmark case where decisions taken using the simulation models are applied to a reference case. The optimized production strategy, using simulations models, increased the expected monetary value of the project by about 29%, but the Net Present Value (NPV), calculated using a reference case, decreased by 2%. The real NPV was outside the expected range and revealed that the set of models did not fully represent the real field, even for high-quality history-matched models. The objective of this study is to identify the causes of these discrepancies. To reach this goal, we investigate and analyze both the impact of the upscaling and the uncertainty on production and economic indicators. We use a set of representative models of benchmark UNISIM-I (Avansi and Schiozer, 2015) to consider the effects of uncertainty and upscaling. Our main concern was the uncertainties in the distribution of petrophysical properties that strongly influence the productivity and injectivity of wells, noted by Morosov and Schiozer (2016) as being the main cause for differences among models. Furthermore, to verify the isolated effects of the possible causes of deviation, we use a single model to show only the effects of upscaling, and another set of models showing only the uncertainty. The results showed that the impact of the uncertainties was higher than the upscaling for the studied case. The upscaling generated an optimistic bias for production and economic indicators, but well-correlated with the reference case. The uncertainties significantly affected the production forecasts for this study. This happened because the response of the wells is highly dependent on the petrophysical properties of the model, which varies widely between the different models representing uncertainties and was not adequately depicted by the representative models.

Published: July 2018

The objective of this paper is to determine whether age, gender, Individualised Education Programme, the experience of victimisation by peers, and the experience of bullying others are predictors of bullying and victimisation in children with ADHD. The sample consisted of children aged from 7 to 15 with ADHD diagnosis (N=72). Gender is a significant predictor of physical bullying, whereas the predictors of verbal bullying are gender, being enrolled in an Individualised Education Programme (IEP), verbal victimisation and the feeling of security. The males with ADHD without any school accommodations (IEP) and who are exposed to verbal victimisation are also more often verbally aggressive towards their peers. Children with ADHD who are verbally aggressive and feel secure in the school setting are more exposed to verbal victimisation.

Published: July 2018

In complex samples (faeces, soil, food, etc.), Clostridium difficile is often present in the form of dormant spores that cause reduced effectiveness of DNA extraction. With the aim of determining an optimal DNA extraction procedure from spores, DNA extraction from faecal samples spiked with a known number of C. difficile spores and faecal samples from piglets was performed with three manual protocols, using two commercial kits and subsequent real-time PCR (rtPCR) DNA amplification. DNA extraction protocols, including mechanical disruption by bead beating, gave better results with rtPCR. The SmartHelix DNAid Complex Kit proved to be more efficient than the QIAamp DNA Stool Mini Kit, suggesting that an optimal combination of mechanical, enzymatic, and chemical lysis seems to be required for the best results.Key words: Clostridium difficile; DNA extraction; real-time PCR; piglets; faeces; spores OVREDNOTENJE IN PRIMERJAVA KOMERCIALNIH KOMPLETOV ZA IZOLACIJO DNK ZA DOKAZOVANJE BAKTERIJE Clostridium difficile V BLATU PRAŠIČKOV Z METODO PCR V REALNEM ČASUV kompleksnih vzorcih (blato živali, zemlja, hrana, itd.) je bakterija Clostridium difficile pogosto prisotna v obliki spor, ki so vzrok za slabšo učinkovitost izolacije DNK.

Published: July 2018

Random Matrix Theory (RMT) methods for threshold selection had only been applied in a very low number of  studies aiming the construction of Gene Co-expression Networks (GCN) and several open questions remained, especially regarding the general applicability regardless the diverse data structure of gene expression data sets. Moreover, no clear methodology to follow at each step was available. Here, we show, that RMT methodology is, in fact, capable to differentiate Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) from Gaussian Diagonal Ensemble (GDE) structure for a great number of simulated data sets and that results are similar to those obtained with the reference method of clustering coefficient.

Authors: LOUZADA Francisco , ELBATAL Ibrahim , GRANZOTTO Daniele Cristina Tita
Published: July 2018

In this paper, we consider transmuted generalized Lindley distribution, obtained via the quadratic rank transmutation map under the Lindley distribution. This distribution exhibits, in addition to decreasing, increasing and bathtub hazard rates, depending on its parameters, also unimodal hazard rate shape. A comprehensive mathematical treatment of this distribution is provided. Expressions for the moment generating function, moments, order statistics, residual life and reversed failure rate function are derived. The model parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood method. A simulation study is performed to verify the behavior of the estimation procedure in terms of mean square errors and coverage probability. Global and local influence diagnostic procedures are provided. We then analyse a real data set on time-up-to-cure of patients treated with a triazole antifungal drug in an intensive care unit in Brazil.
STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES APPLIED IN THREE JOURNALS OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES WITH A FOCUS ON ANIMAL SCIENCE
Authors: BUSANELLO Marcos , ANDRADE Thiago Sergio de , AROEIRA Carolina Naves , DIAS Carlos Tadeu dos Santos
Published: July 2018

There are few previous studies that investigate the most used statistical techniques in animal science. Due  to the large number of tools and methods available for statistical analysis, it is important to identify the most applied ones for this area of research. Therefore, we aimed to identify the use of different statistical techniques (designs, software and analysis) used in two Brazilian journals (Ciência Rural and Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia) and one international journal (Journal of Animal Science). In order to do this, scientific articles published during the years 2011 to 2015 were selected to form a database. Our article discusses the use of designs, software and analyses most commonly used in the journals studied. To study this, we used descriptive statistics and multivariate approaches. Completely randomized and randomized blocks design were the principal designs used in animal science. The SAS® software was the principal software used. Finally, analysis of variance was the principal statistical method, followed by regression analysis. There were no differences between the journals over time regarding the use of statistical analyses. The results highlight the importance of hypothesis testing within animal science.

Published: July 2018

The sugarcane is the main source of renewable energy in Brazil and it is considered that this crop has an economically as well as environmentally promising future around the world. This fact justifies the researches regarding the comprehension of its behaviour in the soil-plant system. This study aimed to explain the productivity of the sugarcane crop through latent factors formed from chemical and physical attributes of an Ultisol with a medium/clayey texture using the technique of structural equations modelling. In order to collect the data of the plant as well as the soil, we defined 118 sampled points of a regular grid in the depths of 0 to 0.20 m and from 0.20 to 0.40 m. The first three factors composed the chemical, physical and production attributes explaining around 60% of the data variability. The  technological and production components of the sugarcane were negatively influenced by the physical  attributes factor from 0 to 0.20 m. However, there was a positive influence of the chemical attributes factor associated with the acidity in the layer from 0.20 to 0.40 m.

In addition, the urgency of tashrif can also be seen in the sense of Arabic texts, because one word in Arabic can be shaped into several different words.

Convergence or Borrowing: Standing in The Indonesian Constitutional Court
Authors: Hendrianto Stefanus
Published: July 2018

This Article addresses the constitutional convergence theory by examining the standing rule in the Indonesian Constitutional Court. The central investigation of this paper is whether the application of standing doctrine in the Indonesian Constitutional Court is evidence of constitutional convergence or of borrowing? This paper argues that the Constitutional Court jurisprudence on standing indicates that constitutional convergence has never taken place but rather the Court has engaged in constitutional borrowing. Legal borrowing on standing is limited to the carbon copy of the five-prong standing tests of the U.S. model,  but in reality standing doctrine in the Indonesian Constitutional Court is not based on the private rights model of adjudication. Although the Court allows individuals to bring cases before the Court, it is rather a quasi-public model of standing, in which claimants no longer have standing only to vindicate their own private rights but can also sue to vindicate public interests. Standing requirements also allow the judges to review many highly sensitive political cases, and to  some extent it enables the Court to second guess the decisions of the different branches of government.

Authors: Manan Munafrizal
Published: July 2018

This article analyses the Indonesian efforts to resolve past human rights abuses under the mechanism of transitional justice following the downfall of President Soeharto on May 21, 1998. The focus of analysis is the implementation of transitional justice in the cases of Aceh, Papua, and East Timor during the transitional period. This article shows that the efforts to enforce transitional justice in these cases have been faced with obstacles. Although there have been notable efforts in terms of both judicial and non-judicial to enforce transitional justice, the final results are not satisfactory. Transitional justice mechanism to resolve past human rights abuses was implemented only with half-baked and supported with half-hearted. As a result, it has failed to bring justice for the victims. There are lessons can and should be learned from these transitional justice cases for resolving other past human rights abuse cases in Indonesia today. The current Indonesian government should pay attention to the lessons in order to resolve past human rights violations in accordance with its promise during presidential election campaign in 2014. Otherwise, it is likely to repeat the same mistake and failure of justice dealing with past human rights violations.

Authors: Omara Andy
Published: July 2018

The introduction of provision concerning budget allocation for education in the amended constitution is not a common method in constitutional drafting in Indonesia. This article aims to understanding the background of the inclusion of this provision and its judicial enforcement. It argues that the establishment of this provision closely related to the fact that education was not properly funded. As a result, the quality of education was negatively affected. The constitutionalisation of budget for education opens the possibility to allocate the national budget in this field in a more sustainable way. In addition, by constitutionalizing budget for education, there is a legal avenue available to challenge the government policy if the government fails to fulfill its constitutional obligation. The newly established Constitutional Court has the power to review whether the allocation of national budget for education is consistent with the Constitution. In some judicial review cases on budget for education, the Court took legal approach and also extralegal factors in its rulings.
