Gendering National Histories and Regional Imaginaries
Authors: Trice Jasmine Nadua
Published: January 2019

This essay analyzes three experimental short films made by Southeast Asian women filmmakers: Jai (Love, 2008), directed by Anocha Suwichakornpong of Thailand; Shotgun Tuding (2014), directed by Shireen Seno of the Philippines; and Eleven Men (2016), directed by Nguyễn Trinh Thi of Vietnam. Each deploys a critique of national historiography through specific formal strategies: constructing a recursive temporality (Jai), using anachronistic media (Shotgun Tuding), or privileging image over event (Eleven Men). These formal strategies create a gendered, reflexive view of the historiographic process through their frictions with official, national histories. At the same time the films nod to, and at times engage with, the transnational networks that brought them into being. The essay considers how the films and the filmmakers who made them negotiate local arts activism, transnational funding structures, and commitments to national histories. It argues that their textual and institutional parallels sketch the possibility of a regional, Southeast Asian imaginary for women's filmmaking.
Clara Law Cheuk-yiu's Transcultural Cinema
Authors: Armatage Kay , Qin Xiqing
Published: January 2019

Clara Law (Law Cheuk-yiu) has amassed a substantial body of work as a writer and/or director, with upward of twenty feature credits between 1985 and 2015. Starting with her early Hong Kong–based films addressing sexuality, The Reincarnation of Golden Lotus (Pan Jin Lian zhi qian shi jin sheng, 1989) and Temptation of a Monk (1993), Law embraced transnational cinema through invitations and awards from major international film festivals, as well as participating in Erotique (1994), a compilation film with multinational contributors. Her work insistently interrogates the interconnections among concepts of Asia, transcultural migrations, and filmmaking practice through narratives that exceed “Chineseness” both in terms of culture and ethnicity, and in terms of expectations for Asian women directors. Reconfigurations of sexual and cultural identity, and geopolitical correspondences and differentiations, consistently recur in her filmic narratives, as characters encounter new personal, cultural, racial and ethnic formations in the wake of geopolitical transmigrations.
Rethinking Homeless People’s Punishments
Authors: Skolnik Terry
Published: January 2019

This article argues that we should rethink homeless people’s punishments for violating quality-of-life ordinances. Those ordinances prohibit acts that are deemed to constitute urban nuisances—urban camping, public urination, and sleeping on sidewalks among them. Violating quality-of-life ordinances can result in expensive fines, administrative fees, and civil consequences for unpaid fines. In line with other scholars’ work, this article demonstrates how our current punishment scheme entrenches individuals in homelessness and operates like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Lacking a private property right and stuck in a cycle of homelessness, homeless people will continue to alleviate their needs on public property and be subject to further coercion and punishment. Homeless people’s punishments for violating quality-of-life offenses are also objectionable because they violate three types of proportionality constraints: the gravity of the prohibited conduct, the homeless person’s moral blameworthiness, and their personal situation.

This article proposes an alternate punishment scheme that minimizes the prospect of entrenchment in homelessness and remedies those three proportionality concerns. It argues that the state should adopt a day-fine model for financial penalties, implement criminal justice debt absolution frameworks, and rethink the civil and criminal consequences associated with unpaid fines. A more proportional punishment scheme is neither a solution to the reality of homelessness nor a substitute for the state’s responsibility to ensure better access to housing. However, this article’s proposals can mitigate the gravest consequences associated with homeless people’s punishments, prevent entrenchment in homelessness, and ensure homeless people are treated with greater respect.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due toCYP21A2gene mutations is associated with a variety of clinical phenotypes (salt wasting, SW; simple virilizing, SV; nonclassical, NC) depending on residual 21-hydroxylase activity. Phenotypes and genotypes correlate well in 80–90% of cases. We set out to test the predictive value of CAH phenotype assignment based on genotype classification in a large multicenter cohort. A retrospective evaluation of genetic data from 538 CAH patients (195 screened) collected from 28 tertiary centers as part of a German quality control program was performed. Genotypes were classified according to residual 21-hydroxylase activity (null, A, B, C) and assigned clinical phenotypes correlated with predicted phenotypes, including analysis of Prader stages. Ultimately, concordance of genotypes with clinical phenotypes was compared in patients diagnosed before or after the introduction of nationwide CAH-newborn screening. Severe genotypes (null and A) correlated well with the expected phenotype (SW in 97 and 91%, respectively), whereas less severe genotypes (B and C) correlated poorly (SV in 45% and NC in 57%, respectively). This was underlined by a high degree of virilization in girls with C genotypes (Prader stage >1 in 28%). SW was diagnosed in 90% of screening-positive babies with classical CAH compared with 74% of prescreening patients. In our CAH series, assigned phenotypes were more severe than expected in milder genotypes and in screened vs prescreening patients. Diagnostic discrimination between phenotypes based on genotypes may prove overcome due to the overlap in their clinical presentations.
Epigenetic arginine methylation in breast cancer: emerging therapeutic strategies
Authors: Wang Shu-Ching M , Dowhan Dennis H , Muscat George E O
Published: January 2019

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, and the complexity of breast carcinogenesis is associated with epigenetic modification. There are several major classes of epigenetic enzymes that regulate chromatin activity. This review will focus on the nine mammalian protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) and the dysregulation of PRMT expression and function in breast cancer. This class of enzymes catalyse the mono- and (symmetric and asymmetric) di-methylation of arginine residues on histone and non-histone target proteins. PRMT signalling (and R methylation) drives cellular proliferation, cell invasion and metastasis, targeting (i) nuclear hormone receptor signalling, (ii) tumour suppressors, (iii) TGF-β and EMT signalling and (iv) alternative splicing and DNA/chromatin stability, influencing the clinical and survival outcomes in breast cancer. Emerging reports suggest that PRMTs are also implicated in the development of drug/endocrine resistance providing another prospective avenue for the treatment of hormone resistance and associated metastasis. The complexity of PRMT signalling is further underscored by the degree of alternative splicing and the scope of variant isoforms (with distinct properties) within each PRMT family member. The evolution of PRMT inhibitors, and the ongoing clinical trials of PRMT inhibitors against a subgroup of solid cancers, coupled to the track record of lysine methyltransferases inhibitors in phase I/II clinical trials against cancer underscores the potential therapeutic utility of targeting PRMT epigenetic enzymes to improve survival outcomes in aggressive and metastatic breast cancer.

ECONOMICS OF SECONDARY RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES
Authors: Zhiznin S. Z. , Vassilev S.
Published: January 2019

Against the background of diminishing traditional energy sources, increasing negative impact on the environment, also due to some energy sectors, as well as the growing threat of extreme increase in the waste on a global scale, SRES have a serious potential to play the role of one of the key methods to achieve a sustainable balance, without any harm to the economic development. In practice, if assumed that the total population of the Earth is 7 billion people, at least 5 million tons of waste is generated on a daily basis (not counting the industrial ones). Of them, circa 2 million tons are non-recyclable, but these could be transformed into energy. Modern technologies offer up to 50% conversion of the source materials into usable free energy––i.e. there is a potential for the generation of approximately 1 million МW/h per day, or at least 300–350 TW/h per annum. This amounts to the whole electricity consumption of 5–10 small developed countries likeBulgaria,Slovenia, etc. The improvement and implementation of the SRES technologies will require significant expenses for scientific research and development. A part of these expenses can be covered by the general provision of incentives for alternative energy sources, another part should be provided by external sources, including funding from the central budgets, grants, as part of public-private partnerships, etc. The offered article examines the economics of the SRES, and all related factors, including their role and place in the energy sector, significance for the protection of the environment and for the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), adopted within the UN. An attempt is made to develop the existing and to offer new criteria for a more accurate and universal definition of the SRES. The objective of the article is not to claim to be an universal and exhaustive study of all aspects, related to the nature and use of the SRES, but it is rather an attempt to systematize and carry out a comparative analysis of the main problems, related to the SRES, as well as to draw the attention and stir a wider discussion on a topic, which––according to the authors––undeservedly fails to be sufficiently incorporated into the studies and research, related to the alternative energy development. Special attention is drawn to the opportunities provided by waste-to-hydrogen solutions alongside with other waste-to-energy approaches. Authors are also introducing for the first time the notion of “double-green-solution” as a specific feature of the waste-to-energy solutions. The article may be of interest to economists, investors and practitioners.
THE EVALUATION METHOD FOR THE EFFICIENCY OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS DEPENDING ON THE COMPOSITION AND INTENSITY OF LIGHT ON THE EXAMPLE OF CUCUMIS SATIVUS L.
Authors: Supelnyak S. I. , Kosushkin V. G.
Published: January 2019

The article calculates potentially effective for photobiological processes density light fluxes arc tube sodium lamps (HPS) and 250 watt Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps 46 watts. The concept of light utilization for photobiological reactions is proposed to evaluate the energy component of the light spectrum suitable for optimal activation of plant photoreceptor systems that control the shaping process by changing the orientation of the biological system in space at an early stage of development in order to achieve maximum photosynthetic response. The calculations used the experimentally obtained values of the absorption coefficients of the leaf ofCucumis sativus L. Based on the data on the linear dimensions of the leaf of the plant and the dependence of the absorption spectrum on the age of the plant, as well as the action spectra of photobiological reactions (photosynthesis, dissipation of excess energy as heat, phototropic reaction, chlorophyll, photomorphogenesis) and emission spectra of light sources, we have calculated the mass of accumulated carbohydrates at an early stage of developmentCucumis sativus L. In order to test the reliability methods of analytical evaluation, an experimental study of the effect of radiation data illuminators was carried out. For HPS 250, the weight of carbohydrates and the dry weight of the plant were0.24 g and0.20 g, respectively, for LED 46, the weight of carbohydrates and dry weight of the plant were0.05 g and0.05 g, respectively. The proposed system for assessing the efficiency of the spectrum and the intensity of radiation by the linear parameters of a plant is an intelligent basis for creating an energy-efficient system for automatically controlling LED lighting of a greenhouse with feedback on a measured parameter of a plant.
Karol Wojtyła ou «Le gothique de l’âme et la renaissance du corps». Un nouvel humanisme venu de Pologne
Authors: Kasprzak Artur Antoni
Published: January 2019

Few years ago, a poem by Karol Wojtyła, entitled „Przełom”, that is „The Turning Point”, was discovered. Written between 1942 and 1945, the reflection of young seminarian Karol begins with questions, and a personal and very significant answer: „It is thus that the Gothic of the soul and the Renaissance of the body fight in me”. The Gothic aspect indicates the sensitivity to the spiritual world of the future Pope. The Renaissance of the body is linked to its sporting nature and the desire to open to the true relationship with every man, the friendship. This study focuses its research around these two aspects of the internal integration of Karol Wojtyła, showing their development in pastoral and scientific research in the context of its Polish origins.
The Crisis of Social Ties as a Challenge for the Christian Vision of Social Life
Authors: Głąbiński Janusz
Published: January 2019

The author of this article analyses the crisis of social ties as a huge challenge for the Christian vision of social life. Firstly, he refers to the moral and religious crisis of the post-modern era, and the depreciation of the social status of the human. Then, he presents the uniqueness of human being as well as potentiality. According to the Christian integral anthropology, presented by personalism, man remains a spiritual and material coexistence. In the last part, the author underlines the Christian idea that a society should acknowledge the dignity of each of its members, as well as guarantee the optimal functioning of human communities. Consequently, social procedures and institutions should be preceded by a consensus assuring the ethical minimum. If a society does not accept the fundamental values like: the dignity of every human being, the protection of their life, justice, equality, solidarity, it cannot function, at least not as a community of persons.

Price Discovery Mechanism in Spot and Futures Market of Agricultural Commodities: The Case of India
Authors: . Minakshi
Published: January 2019

There has been increasing focus by emerging market researchers, policymakers and regulators for investigating price discovery, relationship between future and physical market and accessible trading and risk management instruments for the benefit of various stakeholders and thus contributing to the development of literature. The central question of this paper is examining the role of influence of one market on the other and the role of each market segment in price discovery in the Indian context. Johansen Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) has been employed to examine the relationship between the spot and futures prices. The cointegration results do not confirm the existence of long-run relationship between spot and futures prices. It is thus, implied that futures prices unlikely serve as market expectations of subsequent spot prices of selected agri-commodities in India and do not help in price discovery process.

Role of Innovation in a Globalised World: A Review of Literature
Authors: Kaur Harmanpreet
Published: January 2019

In today’s competitive environment, innovation has an important role to play. This is extremely important for the growth of firms as well as the nation as it provides the requisite competitiveness to them. Innovation is the commercialization of new ideas or invention. In the context of India, investment in Research and Development (R and D) which is the most commonly used input parameter for innovation is minimal and far below as compared to its economic progress. The proportion of gross R and D expenditure (GERD) to gross domestic product (GDP) in India is stagnant at 0.69% over the years 2014-17. This paper is an attempt to discuss seminal work on innovation, its types, determinants, and their impact on performance of the firms at the micro-level as examined by various researchers for developed as well as developing nations.
The Burr-Weibull Power Series Class of Distributions
Authors: Oluyede Broderick , Mdlongwa Precious , Makubate Boikanyo , Huang Shujiao
Published: January 2019

A new generalized class of distributions called the Burr-Weibull Power Series (BWPS) class of distributions is developed and explored. This class of distributions generalizes the Burr power series and Weibull power series classes of distributions, respectively. A special model of the BWPS class of distributions, the new Burr-Weibull Poisson (BWP) distribution is considered and some of its mathematical properties are obtained. The BWP distribution contains several new and well known sub-models, including Burr-Weibull, Burr-exponential Poisson, Burr-exponential, Burr-Rayleigh Poisson, Burr-Rayleigh, Burr-Poisson, Burr, Lomax-exponential Poisson, Lomax-Weibull, Lomax-exponential, Lomax-Rayleigh, Lomax-Poisson, Lomax, Weibull, Rayleigh and exponential distributions. Maximum likelihood estimation technique is used to estimate the model parameters followed by a Monte Carlo simulation study. Finally an application of the BWP model to a real data set is presented to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed class of distributions.

LEGITIMATION BATTLES, BACKFIRE DYNAMICS, AND TACTICAL PERSISTENCE IN THE NFL ANTHEM PROTESTS, 2016–2017*
Authors: Nepstad Sharon Erickson , Kenney Alexis M.
Published: January 2019

We examine the 2016–2017 National Football League (NFL) kneeling protests that were performed during the pregame national anthem to draw attention to the problems of police brutality and violence against African Americans. Elaborating the concept of tactical neutralization, we delineate various strategies that opponents used to delegitimize this tactic and strip it of its power, thereby encouraging the athlete-protesters to desist. Drawing on online newspaper accounts of the NFL anthem protests, we use directed content analysis methods to inductively discern these “neutralization strategies,” which included discursive delegitimation of the protesters and their tactics, imposing costs for participation, and cooptation. Through successful relegitimation efforts, these athlete-protesters were able to sustain their tactic, even in the face of widespread opposition. Furthermore, a backfire dynamic was unleashed when a controversial, high profile opponent engaged in these delegitimation efforts, resulting in increased participation and heightened tactical strength.
Generation of POD curves in the absence of service-induced cracked components – an experimental approach
Authors: Rentala V K , Mylavarapu P , Gautam J , Kumar V
Published: January 2019

Assessing the reliability of non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques in detecting in-service fatigue cracks is vital for ensuring the structural integrity of aero engines. However, the requirement of a large number of in-service failed components with numerous initiating fatigue cracks
makes it a cost-intensive methodology. Hence, laboratory samples with electrical discharge machined (EDM) notches representing fatigue cracks have also been used for NDT reliability studies. However, probability of detection (POD), a measure of NDT reliability, is usually a function of all
crack dimensions rather than only length. This limits the applicability of EDM notches (minimum width of notch ~0.3 mm) as artificial fatigue cracks for POD studies. The current study demonstrates the methodology of generating cracks under laboratory conditions in nickel-based superalloy samples
(representative aero engine material), mimicking in-service conditions such as crack tightness as low as 1 μm, crack tortuosity, transgranular nature, crack branching and multiple initiation sites of cracks. POD curves generated using these samples are demonstrated and the feasibility of
this approach is discussed.

Authors: Kagne Swati , Chate Sambhaji
Published: January 2019

Background: Disorders of amniotic volume is one of the commonest obstetric problem. Amniotic fluid acts as cushion to the foetus allowing musculoskeletal development and also helps in the differentiation of lungs and gastrointestinal tract. Decreased amniotic fluid, known as oligohydramnios, is known to be associated with adverse perinatal outcome. The objective is to study the maternal and perinatal complications of oligohydramnios in term pregnancy.Methods: The present study was carried out in the Department of Obstetrics at rural tertiary care hospital in Maharashtra from February 2018 through October 2018. women with Oligohyamnios were studied for obstetrical and neonatal complications.Results: The incidence of oligohyamnios was 7.6% in present study. The mean age of the study population was 22.6±3.6 years. Induction of labour was required in 44 (61.11%) patients out of which 23 patients underwent emergency LSCS. Low birth weight (birth weight<2.5kg) was found in 14 (19.44%) babies with 11 babies having intrauterine growth restriction. 5-minute APGAR (appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, respiration) score was <7 in 13.88% babies. 16 babied needed NICU admission out of which 1 neonate died.Conclusions: Detection of oligohydramnios increases obstetrical interventions in term pregnancy.

Authors: Berk Cem , Erguler Kamil
Published: January 2019

Financial analysis is a combined effort of knowledge and experience to obtain relevant ratios and elaborate on the results. The study is an application of financial analysis on Istanbul Public Transportation Company. As seen in the literature review section of the study public transportation companies require high subsidies by governments which is a factor to consider in the research. The research period is 2014-2016. It is a comparative study with the inclusion of Izmir – ESHOT and Ankara – EGO public transportation companies. The results are therefore compared with industry averages computed by the average of public transportation companies of three big cities in Turkey. The research is based on 7 selected ratios, 3 for measuring liquidity and the remaining 4 for measuring solvency. The ratios used in this paper are current ratio, acid test ratio, cash ratio, total debt ratio, debt equity ratio, equity multiplier, and long term debt ratio. According to the results, the companies have a very low current ratio which means they operate with low liquidity. Solvency analysis also reveal that, there are high degrees of leverage and negative shareholders’ equity. The research shows that companies might struggle to repay debts without government support

CONFIDENCE AND DOUBT JUVENILE MUSLIM LIFE-WORLDS, RELIGIOUS ORIENTATION, ISLAMIC THEOLOGY AND EDUCATION IN GERMANY
Authors: Behr Harry Harun
Published: January 2019

The article is based on first findings of interdisciplinary research that is still in progress. It has to be understood as the science-based counter-speech against increasing anti-Muslim racism. Young Muslims are under surveillance of public and media attention in Germany. Islam is being debated in terms of regal and security politics and less within the signature of religion in terms of spirituality, aesthetics, life-world orientation, ethics, morale and religious life-styles. Hence, they are being transformed into a kind of ethnic tribe that needs special treatment. This comes along with the impending deployment of religious freedom as it is guaranteed by the German constitution. Especially right-wing nationalist and folkish consent has it that Muslims serve as a reason for redesigning religious politics in Germany that drifts away from the standards of human rights. The research findings presented here focus on juvenile Muslims as humans, pupils and citizens instead. It aims at a better understanding of their psychological and social framing. This plays an important role with regard to schooling in general and Islamic religious education in special. The findings are based upon the qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews. This contribution also takes theological and anthropological aspects into account. In the end preliminary recommendations for changes in the educational setting are given.

Published: January 2019

The aimof the study is to assess the left ventricle (LV) untwist in healthy children and adolescents born fullterm.

Materials and methods.The analysis was carried out in 108 healthy children aged 2 months to 18 years, born full-term. LV untwist is assessed using Speckle Tracking Imaging at the basal and apical level.

Results.Four types of LV untwist were identified in children and adolescents. We did not find relation between LV untwist and age, nor with LV index spherical in systole and diastole, LV myocardial mass. The relationship between LV untwisting and LV rotation in systole at basal and apical segments was revealed.

Conclusion.The described features of LV loosening are apparently associated with processes of postnatal growth and maturation of heart tissues in children and adolescents.
Molecular genetic aspects of sudden cardiac death: a literature review
Authors: Ivanova A. A. , Maksimov V. N.
Published: January 2019

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) continues to be a relevant and significant problem in modern medicine. Modern trends in medicine are associated with the widespread introduction of personalized, preventive strategies aimed at correcting risk factors for pathology, identifying predispositions to it and conducting prevention before the development of clinical symptoms. Nowadays, a huge number of studies of the molecular genetic basis of SCD are conducted. Studies of case-control design using routine methods of molecular genetic research continue to be popular. Research using modern, highly effective methods (sequencing of the next generation (NGS), full-genome associative studies (GWAS)) have become more frequent. The molecular genetic markers of SCD found in such studies can be used effectively to diagnose a predisposition to SCD and prevent its development in persons with known and unknown cardiac pathology.
On the Interaction of Information and Matter: The Case Study about the Language and Brain
Authors: Chen Liujun , Liu Yan , Chen Jiawei , Li Xiaomeng , Di Zengru
Published: January 2019

Since matter, energy and information are the three major components of the world, is there an interaction between information and matter? In the present work, the coevolution of human language and brain is taken as a case of interaction between information and brain. Some evidence that may show interactions between human language and brain revealed by previous researches is summarized in this paper, such as the language areas in the cerebral cortex of the modern human brain, the evolution of human language and brain in human history, and the genetic basis for the evolution of language. Based on the evidence, a dynamic model is developed to investigate the possible mechanism of coevolution of human language and brain. In the model, human language development and brain development reinforce each other: the developmental level of language can be promoted by advances in brain function due to language-related gene mutations, in turn, whether such mutations are selected positively can be influenced by the current developmental level of language. The coevolution of human language and brain can be taken as a case of interaction between information and matter.

Published: January 2019

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by a twofold increase in morbidity and mortality due to chronic heart failure (CHF). At the same time, the prevalence of CHF among RA patients is significantly underestimated. The aim of the review was to analyze the results of the main studies on the features of the clinical presentation of heart failure (HF) in RA patients, the role of visualization techniques and biomarkers in the diagnosis of HF and preclinical dysfunction of the myocardium. HF in patients with RA is characterized by a predominance of HF with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The use of clinical diagnostic criteria in RA patients can lead to both over- or underdiagnosis of CHF. Systolic dysfunction estimated by LVEF is rare in RA and does not reflect the real frequency of myocardial dysfunction. Echocardiography (ECHO-CG) with tissue Doppler echocardiography (TDE) and visualization of myocardial deformation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart in RA patients revealed a high frequency of HF with preserved ejection fraction, left ventricular remodeling and hypertrophy, pre-clinical systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Determination of natriuretic peptides is useful for verifying the diagnosis of HF and estimating the prognosis in this cohort, despite the possible decrease in the sensitivity and specificity of these indicators in RA patients. The review discusses the advantages of MRI of the heart, including quantitative T1 and T2 regimens, in the diagnosis of myocarditis, myocardial fibrosis, and myocardial perfusion disorders in RA patients. In order to verify the diagnosis of heart failure and detect pre-clinical myocardial dysfunction in RA patients, the determination of natriuretic peptides concentration should become part of the routine examination, beginning with the debut of the disease, along with the collection of a cardiological history, physical examination, ECHO-CT with TDE, and visualization of myocardial deformation. Evaluation of the quantitative characteristics of tissue according to MRI of the heart could improve the diagnosis of myocardial damage.
SELF-IDENTITY AND SOCIAL IDENTITY AS DRIVERS OF CONSUMERS’ PURCHASE INTENTION TOWARDS LUXURY FASHION GOODS AND WILLINGNESS TO PAY PREMIUM PRICE
Authors: Suha Fouad Salem  , Sharif Omar Salem
Published: January 2019

The main purpose of this study is to examine consumer behaviour towards purchasing luxury fashion goods based on an extended model that integrates the constructs of theory of planned behaviour (TPB), social identity, self-identity, and price premium. The proposed model is examined using a self-structured questionnaire with a dataset of 395 valid responses. Statistical analysis is based on the PLS-SEM approach with the use of Smart-PLS software 3.2.0. The results indicate that all the hypotheses associated with the relationships between social identity and TBP determinants and between self-identity and TBP determinants are supported; however, the hypothesis on the relationship between selfidentity and subjective norm is not supported. Moreover, the hypotheses associated with the relationships between TPB determinants, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control (PBC), attitude, and intention to purchase luxury fashion are also supported. Finally, the proposed relationships between intention to purchase luxury fashion and model outcome, purchase of luxury fashion and intention for price premium are supported as well. This study is the first that integrates social identity, self-identity, and price premium with TPB to explain consumers’ purchase behaviour towards luxury fashion products. The findings can help marketers develop effective marketing strategies in order to stay competitive.

Overcrowding patients is a crisisÂ  problem in hospital and plays a significant role as a front line in hospital which performing good and bad quality of care. Length of Stay (LOS) patients admission measurement indicator toward service process and patients density marker. Length of stay has important essence in reviewing process because helping to identify the cause of action delay and elongated LOS. EDLOS is influenced by input and trough put factor. Input factor: age, coming time, main complaint and co-morbidity. Trough put factor: triage level, door to doctor, the quickness in laboratory check, the quickness in specialist consultation and patients transfer to nursing room, staffing. This study is aimed to analyze the correlation of causing factor on action delay with LOS patients admissionÂ  in Prof. Dr. W. Z. Johannes Public Hospital Kupang. This study uses cross sectional approach and quota sampling by the number of 200 patients and nurses also doctors. Data was collected by observation sheet. Result of this study shows that there are significant correlation between co-morbidity with LOS patients admission (p value = 0,001 and r = - 0,227), between the quickness of specialist consultation with LOS patients admission (p value = 0,001 and r = 0,238) and between patients transfer to nursing room LOS patients admission (p value = 0,000 and r = 0,699). Based on the result of linear regression test, it is concluded that factor that has very close correlation with LOS patients admission patients transfer to nursing room (p value < 0,001, regression coefficient 0,015 and correlation coefficient 0,774). Conclusion: co-morbidity, specialist consultation and patients transfer to nursing room is LOS patients admission predictor. Developing centralized bed control dan transporter is mandatory for decrease overcrowding and LOS patients admission in emergency department.
Hellenistic Rural Settlement and the City of Thurii. The survey evidence (Sibaritide, southern Italy)
Authors: Oome N. , Attema P.A.J.
Published: January 2019

This paper examines the nature and chronology of Hellenistic rural settlement in the foothills of the Sibaritide in northern Calabria (southern Italy) on the basis of selected archaeological sites of this period recorded in field surveys by the Groningen Institute of Archaeology (GIA) between 1995 and 2008. The collected material of this subset is suitable for answering questions about the chronology and nature of Hellenistic rural settlement in the foothills, and about how the identified pattern relates to the founding and development of the Hellenistic city of Thurii in the plain of Sybaris in the mid 5th c. BC. After an overview of previous field research, the authors discuss the archaeological evidence in detail and evaluate it in the context of current knowledge regarding Hellenistic settlement patterns in the Sibaritide, and in southern Italian landscapes more generally. The paper concludes by placing the data in the socio-economic and geopolitical context in which the Greek city state of Thurii functioned.
Anxious Attachment and Internet Addictive Behavior in Chinese College Youth: The Mediating Role of Resilience (Preprint)
Authors: Chi Xinli
Published: January 2019

BACKGROUND

While many studies document that insecure attachment (e.g., anxious attachment) is associated with Internet addictive behavior in youth, little is known about the mediating mechanisms underlying this association—particularly in Chinese college youth. The current study examines whether resilience mediates the relationship between anxious attachment and Internet addictive behavior.

OBJECTIVE

The current study examines whether resilience mediates the relationship between anxious attachment and Internet addictive behavior.

METHODS

Our hypothesis model was tested using data collected from 1,004 Chinese college students (60.7% males, Mage = 19.54 years) including questionnaires with adult attachment scale, resilience subscale, Internet addiction test, and background information.

RESULTS

After controlling for demographic variables, resilience was found to partially mediate the association between anxious attachment and Internet addictive behavior, with anxiety attachment type associating with lower level of resilience and with low level of resilience associating with higher level Internet addiction. It indicated individuals’ anxious attachment may handicap resilience development, which further puts anxiously attached youths at greater risk of Internet addictive behavior.

CONCLUSIONS

These findings highlight the importance of promoting psychological resilience in intervening with and/or preventing Internet addictive behavior in Chinese youth.

Indonesia has developed its forest reference emission level (FREL), using a historical reference period of 1990-2012. Based on official Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) data, this paper analyses gross deforestation rates and emissions from deforestation in the five provinces of the island of Kalimantan which occurred in the time after 2012, i.e. 2013 until 2015, and puts them in relation to the average annual deforestation and emission rates of each province in the reference period. Even though the overall linear trend of deforestation and emission rates in Kalimantan from 1990 until 2015 goes down, this trend is not reflected in all of the five provinces equally. West and North Kalimantan’s rates even seem to be on the rise. The potentials to achieve emission reduction targets thus remain unequal for each province in Kalimantan Island.
