Industrialization in William Wordsworth's Selected Poems
Authors: Fatah Shokhan Mohammed
Published: July 2019

William Wordsworth (1770-1850) is undeniably one of the most significant Romantic poets. He is famous for his love for nature. He finds tranquility and solitude in the company of nature. For him, nature is everything, including faith and God. Wordsworth believes that God has mirrored himself through nature. The industrial revolution made life more complicated, yet productive. The industrial revolution solved some problems while it caused some others, violation of nature is among the most distressing one. As a worshiper of nature, Wordsworth has noticed this impairment and portrayed the two lives, one closer to nature and the other industrialized. This paper aims at presenting William Wordsworth's love for nature through standing against industrialization. His poetry preserves the persistence of nature without any destructive mechanization. From this perspective, three poems of Wordsworth are explained to elucidate the different ways of his approach to new technological innovations and urbanization. The poems include; "The World is Too Much with Us", "Steamboats, Viaducts, and Railways" and "On the Projected Kendal and Windermere Railway". Prior to describing industrialization in the poems, the industrial revolution and its outcomes are generally introduced. Besides, a brief account is given to the British Romanticism due to the fact that Wordsworth is one of the key poets of the movement.

Published: July 2019

The current research aims to investigate the challenges that EFL learners face in essay writing skills and the common errors they make in their English writing. One of the major aspects of language development and academic achievement among students at all levels of the education system is the capacity to achieve communicative competence in writing skills. Though, one of the essential problem learner faces at university is, learning to master essay writing skills. A descriptive survey research design was adopted in this study. The sample of the study are 32 randomly chosen third year students of English Department at the Soran University. To achieve the aims of the research, a mixed methodology was selected, through which data was collected through the students' questionnaire, and a collection analysis of thirty-two randomly chosen essays. A research results obtained from students' questionnaires indicated that major difficulties that student' encounter are in grammar, organizing ideas, punctuations, and vocabulary. The challenges that students face in writing essay include: incorrect use of grammar, first language interference, limited vocabulary, punctuation marks, and word order. Based on these results, it is important for teachers to take into account students' writing challenges, and the explanation of more writing sessions are among the pedagogical implications.
Post creation strategies in a smoking cessation intervention based on motivational interviewing using Facebook: a mixed-methods content analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Pócs David , Óvári Tímea , Hamvai Csaba , Kelemen Oguz
Published: July 2019

BACKGROUND

Smoking cessation support on Facebook (FB) is a cost-effective and extensible way to reduce tobacco use among young people. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a practical counselling style in face-to-face smoking cessation support and can be useful in web-based interventions as well.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed at identifying which post creation strategies based on MI could achieve positive changes in FB post characteristics and FB users’ comments.

METHODS

We included MI-adherent posts (N=701) which were not boosted and were targeted at tobacco users. These FB posts have been categorized into five different groups according to specific MI strategies. The control group comprised entertaining and informative posts. Primary outcomes seem to highlight how the content has stimulated interactions (engagement rate), inhibited interactions (negative feedback) or appealed to the audience of the FB page (fan-total reach ratio). The first comments received on the FB posts were evaluated and used as secondary outcomes. We applied the classification of MI approach: change talk (CT), sustain talk (ST), desire, ability, reason, need (DARN), and commitment, activation, taking steps (CAT).

RESULTS

FB posts which used MI strategies were associated with significantly higher engagement rate (p=.010), higher fan-total reach ratio (p<.001), and more CT (p<.001), DARN (p=.005), or CAT comments (p=.003) compared to the control group. ‘Elaborating CT’ strategies elicited considerably more CT (p<.001) and DARN comments (p=.020). ‘Affirming CT’ strategies obtained higher fan-total reach ratio (p=.011) and generated significantly more CT (p=.006) and CAT comments (p<.001). ‘Reflecting CT’ strategies received significantly higher fan-total reach ratio (p<.001). Finally, ‘relational MI’ strategies achieved significantly higher engagement rate (p<.001) compared to the control group. It should be noted that we did not find significant difference in negative feedback and the number of ST comments.

CONCLUSIONS

Post creation strategies based on MI stimulated interactions with FB users and generated conversation about tobacco use cessation without relevant negative feedback. Our findings suggest that MI strategies may play a remarkable role in post creation within a web-based smoking cessation intervention. In the future, these strategies could be applicable to other online platforms, such as public health websites, health blogs, mobile applications or social networking groups.

Authors: Brida Juan Gabriel , Matesanz Gómez David , Risso Wiston Adrián
Published: July 2019

En este trabajo estudiamos la estructura jerárquica y la dinámica de las relaciones existentes entre los tipos de cambio reales en los principales mercados latinoamericanos. Con este fin, introducimos una metodología que combina el análisis de series temporales simbólicas (STSA) de Daw et al. (2003) con el algoritmo de agrupación de asociación al vecino más cercano (nearest neighbor single linkage clustering algorithm, NSLCA; véase Mantegna y Stanley, 2000). A partir de la simbolización de los datos podemos obtener distancias métricas entre series temporales que pueden ser usadas para construir un árbol de expansión mínima (MST), y distancias  ultramétricas que permiten construir un árbol jerárquico (HT). Estos árboles permiten detectar conexiones dinámicas y organización jerárquica de los mercados cambiarios de Latinoamerica a partir de la construcción de distintos grupos de acuerdo a su proximidad.
Ventajas comparativas y política industrial en una economía abierta
Authors: Huerta Quintanilla Rogelio
Published: July 2019

Hay que considerar que la competencia entre las empresas es diferente a la competencia entre los países. La empresa que no es capaz de elevar  su competitividad: misma calidad-menor precio, correrá el riesgo de ser expulsada del mercado, cerrará si persiste su desventaja en el mercado, pero no sucede lo mismo con los países. Los países no quiebran  (Krugman 1992), los países buscan adecuarse al comercio entre naciones lo efectúan las empresas, el problema es ¿cómo lograr que las empresas se rijan por el principio de las ventajas comparativas para especializar  al país en lo que tiene ventaja si lo que conviene a ellas son las diferenciales de precios absolutos? Tenemos aquí un dilema entre los intereses y objetivos de las empresas y los costos y beneficios sociales.
Comentario a Ventajas comparativas y política industrial en una economía abierta
Authors: Cruz Moritz
Published: July 2019

El artículo Ventajas comparativas y política industrial es una economìa abierta del Profesor Rogelio Huerta, publicado en este número, pretende en escencia demostrar la necesidad de implementar en México una política industrial dirigida por el Estado con el objetivo de alcanzar la industrialización. Estoy totalmente deacuerdo con este argumento. La evidencia empí-rica sugiere que en todas las economías exitosas (incluidas las de reciente industrialización) el papel del Estado ha sido imprescindible en el proceso de industrialización. El cuestionamiento fundamental que desde mi punto de vistasurge al leer el trabajo del Profesor Huerta es acerca de la teoría utilizada por el autor tanto para intentar demostrar lo ya destacado como para definir el tipo de industrias que el Estado debe apoyar.
VOLATILIDAD ESTOCÁSTICA DEL TIPO DE CAMBIO PESO-DÓLAR: EL RÉGIMEN FLOTANTE EN MÉXICO
Authors: López Herrera Francisco , Rodríguez Benavides Domingo , Ortiz Arango Francisco
Published: July 2019

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del análisis de la volatilidad de la paridad cambiaria del peso mexicano respecto al dólar mediante un modelo en el cual la distribución de la tasa de rendimiento o de apreciación (depreciación) del peso es una mezcla de distribuciones normales. La volatilidad cambiaria se modela como una variable estocástica cuyo proceso está determinado por una cadena de Markov con dos estados: uno con baja volatilidad y el otro con volatilidad alta. El modelo estimado nos permite identificar la existencia de dos regímenes o estados en la volatilidad cambiaria, pero la volatilidad del tipo de cambio analizado es menos persistente que la observada en otros tipos de cambios. También se documenta una probabilidad alta para el régimen de baja volatilidad, situación que puede considerarse congruente con una relativa estabilidad cambiaria.

The granting of a credit by a bank is usually followed by collateral that’s given by the debtor. The debtor does not only borrow funds from the bank but also gives collateral of equal or greater value to the bank.The function of collateral is to assure the creditor that that the debtor’s debt can be paid off. In practice, when a credit loan becomes bogged down, the bank can execute collateral given by the debtor through a process where the debtor must be declared unable to pay his debt to the creditor.One solution to this problem is via auctioning. An auction is a public sale of goods preceded by an Auction Announcement where the price is offered verbally or in writing. Its price will increase or decrease until the highest bid is found.

Tangible collateral as part of Tangible Law (Hukum Benda) has a nature of close and enforcing (dwingend recht). It is limiting and prohibiting anyone that will make tangible collateral in a form other than what has been stipulated in the prevailing laws. In relation to loan collateral in form of certificate of right over the land, since the effective date of the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No.4 Year 1996 concerning Encumberance Right over the Land and Things Related to the Land, the only allowable loan collateral is in the form of Encumberance Right. This means loan collateral made in form of Agreement on Commitment to Sell and Purchase with Power of Attorney to Sell is against the law, therefore it is legally stated as null and void due to violating the objective requirements on the legality of an agreement as stipulated in Article 1320 of Burgerlijk Wetboek. Agreement on Commitment to Sell and Purchase with Power of Attorney to Sell as loan collateral is not only against the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No.4 Year 1996 concerning Encumberance Right over the Land and Things Related to the Land, but also against the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No.25 Year 1992 concerning Cooperative, due to the objective of cooperative based on Article 44 point 1 of Cooperative Law is to raise funding from and provide lending to the members of respective cooperative, as well as other cooperatives and/or their members. In case a debtor being a new member of the cooperative when he or she applying loan to the cooperative, it is not aligned with the basic objective of cooperative.
Network Performance Criteria for Telecommunication Traffic Types driven by Quality of Experience
Authors: Ramadža Ines , Pekić Vesna , Ožegović Julije
Published: July 2019

A common reason for changing the chosen service provider is the users' perception of service. Quality of Experience (QoE) describes the end user's perception of service while using it. A frequent cause of QoE degradation is inadequate traffic routing, where, other than throughput, selected routes do not satisfy minimum network requirements for the given service or services. In order to enable QoE-driven routing, per traffic type defined routing criteria are required. Our goal was to obtain those criteria for relevant services of a telecom operator. For the purpose of identifying services of interest, we first provide short results of user traffic analysis within the telecom operator network. Next, our work presents testbed measurements which explore the impact of packet loss and delay on user QoE for video, voice, and management traffic. For video services, we investigated separately multicast delivery, unicast HTTP Live Streaming (HLS), and unicast Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) traffic. Applying a threshold to QoE values, from the measured dependencies we extracted minimum network performance criteria for the investigated different types of traffic. Finally, we provide a comparison with results available in the literature on the topic.

Digital communication has proven to be the most efficient method of data transmission especially where long distances are involved. This led to the invention of more sophisticated methods of communication ranging from mobile handset communication to more advanced satellite communication. The speeds of passing information have been improving over the years and real time video communication has been made possible with digital devices. Various methods of digital data transmission are employed based on the information to be transmitted. This paper focuses on carrier recovery in digital communication systems, especially those based on Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation and demodulation scheme. The design being implemented is that of coherent demodulation for QPSK scheme using SIMULINK design tool. Performance of QPSK is also investigated to make a comparison and the suitability of the scheme to use in digital data transmission applications.

Published: July 2019

The habit of smoking is one of the most dangerous long-term behaviors affecting the health of a population, especially for young women, who will become the mothers to give birth to the future generations. In order to identify the prevalence of smoking among young women in Târgu Mureş, as well as other lifestyle-related risk factors, in this cross-sectional study we used a questionnaire to assess lifestyle among 964 women aged 15 to 49 years. The results showed that almost half of the interviewed women declared being smokers. The highest prevalence was found to be associated with the 21 to 30 year age group, no high-school education, non-Romanian ethnics, showing no interest for a healthy lifestyle, low resistance to stress and lack of proper rest and relaxation. This increased prevalence of smoking among women of childbearing age was identified alongside a low willingness for smoking cessation.

Conceptual Landmarks on the Evolution of Military Art
Authors: Hogea Marian
Published: July 2019

Military art is the fundamental component of military science and has as its object the war as a whole and the armed struggle. Over the years, military art has seen spectacular evolutions and mutations in strategy, operative art and tactics, by assimilating and integrating the achievements of the technical-scientific revolution. From this perspective, we aim to highlight the main conceptual landmarks in which military art evolved also targeting the high technology, network-based warfare, the planned operation on the effects of using ISTAR systems and the hybrid operation that integrates and associates several military and non-military components. This comprehensive approach to the evolution of military art gives us the possibility to evaluate the multidimensional operational environment, to highlight the characteristics and physiognomy of the future military operations through the integration of new technological and information systems and equipment. In this context, we state that the success in planning, training, execution and evaluation of military operation in the future will depend on the professionalism of the human resource and the degree of assimilation of technologies and intelligent systems within the management and execution structures.In recent years, the art of war has undergone major changes at all levels (strategic, operational and tactical). Due to the new information phase of the scientific and technological revolution, in the near future, several theories of armed struggle will arise influencing the social and economic life of all states.
Germany’s Military Importance for the European Union
Authors: Pricopi Marius
Published: July 2019

Although a founding member of the European Union, Germany has been rather reluctant to assume a pre-eminent leadership role in the European military integration process, choosing to focus more on social and economic affairs. But following Brexit, Germany might be also called upon to act as an integration “engine” in the defence area. Using the case study method and the analysis of social documents, we argue that Germany’s high level of military integration allows this state to assume, alongside France, a leading role in the defence pursuits of the European Union.
Militarization of Information in Current Conflicts
Authors: Stojar Richard
Published: July 2019

The information technologies used in the contemporary conflicts and the overall availability of social nets generate a number of usable information for their actors. This information environment breeds the chance of conducting the sophisticated and targeted operation of disinformation and effective impact on the actors involved as well as regional or global ones. While the information and propaganda dimension is not a completely new phenomenon, technological development has greatly strengthened its importance in the contemporary world. The development of modern media and communication tools in the 20th century have significantly influenced the very limited means of providing the information to society while the development of the Internet has made far more effective targeting of information on selected social groups than at any time in the past. The phenomenon of information warfare is therefore becoming increasingly frequent, and it is also possible to talk about the new character that conflicts gain through the information dimension. The paper tries to characterize and analyze the importance of the information environment in the current conflicts. Attention is focused on existing and new forms of propaganda, strategic communication and information operations on the social network.

Many national and EU strategies and documents put targets that will lead to a positive change for people and better life. For examples, the EU 2020 strategy assess the progress by indicators focused on employment, investment in research and development, education, energy efficient and risk of poverty. The system for monitoring of sustainable development in Bulgaria includes 56 indicators grouped in ten key areas such as socio-economic development, sustainable consumption and production, social inclusion, demographic changes, public health, sustainable transport, natural resources, global partnership and good governance. But at regional level, these sets of indicators are difficult to apply by many reasons. The aim of research was testing of an approach for survey of the sustainable development of a territorial unit. A complex index for assessment of sustainable development of territorial units was design by set of significant indicators, which evaluate socio-economic conditions for life and development in the territorial unit. The approach and the index were applied for survey of NUTS 3 level regions in Bulgaria, according the EU legislation, by using the last available official data of the National Statistical Institute of Bulgaria. Benefits of the approach using were summarized.

Authors: Ṭḯrlea Mariana Rodica
Published: July 2019

In a market economy, the credit assures a transfer of repayable value for a limited period of time in exchange for a price that is referred to as interest on credit. The role of the credit is to generate liquidity flows for its beneficiary in such a way as to enable him, on the one hand, to honour his obligations to the bank, namely the payment of the monthly rate of credit, interest, bank commissions as well as the insurance of the contracted loan and on the other hand to obtain a profit. In order to benefit from loans, micro-enterprises are analyzed by banks through methods, policies, tools and techniques of each bank. The credit decision will be taken by the bank only after it has ensured that potential borrowers are in line with the rules and lending regulations of the lending bank.

Couple Villages from the Făgăraş Land, with their History and Ethnographic Peculiarities
Authors: Sorea Daniela , Băjenaru Elena
Published: July 2019

The Făgăraș Land is an old Romanian state formation on the territory of Transylvania. Geographically located between the Olt and the Meridional Carpathians, the Făgăraș Land is considered the starting point of the founders of Wallachia. It was caught between the interests and pride of the Hungarian Kingdom and those of the Romanian lords throughout the Middle Ages, and suffered invasions of the Tartars. The memory of the latter is preserved in the collective memory of the locals, especially in the legends about the rocks that girls chased by attackers have jumped off. Many of the villages of Fagaras are arranged in pairs, one in the Olt meadow and the other in the mountain. Over time, there have been differentiations in the folk garment and traditions between the couple villages, but also between neighbouring couple villages. These differences strenghten the community identity of the Făgăraș Land villagers and indicate the existence of significant intangible cultural heritage resources in the area.

Published: July 2019

The paper presents a synthesis of the research performed on the electromagnetic properties and characterization of textile and non-textile materials with applications in shielding and protection from the electromagnetic field. The composite structures of functional textiles intended for protective clothing or general applications for electromagnetic immunity are presented and characterized. There are analyzed composite textiles with amorphous, ferrous or non-ferromagnetic metallic threads manufactured by means of woven and knitting classical technologies as well as materials using non-metallic, electrically conductive powders. The properties of the plain jersey, rib jersey, full and half cardigan fabric, Milano rib, are presented, too. Besides textiles, there are also characterized some composite and non-composite structures using metallic yarns and carbon powder. Another direction of interest relates to the use of textile materials with amorphous metal structure with the scope of achieving a more efficient protection to the electromagnetic fields used in cellular systems and Wi-Fi networks. In addition, a comparative analysis of the methods of characterization of composite structures is made.
Analysis of Materials Used in the Construction of Electric Motors
Authors: Bordianu Adelina , Samoilescu Gheorghe
Published: July 2019

The paper presents the evolution of electric motors from the point of view of the materials used. Magnetic materials and composite materials, which are used in the construction of electrical machines, are analysed. Composite materials based on magnetic materials have a large coercive field, a wider hysteresis cycle, they cannot be easily demagnetized and they absorb better the vibration energy - therefore the noise is reduced. In the design of electric machines, the aim is to obtain a higher magnetic permeability across the frequency spectrum and to reduce the losses in iron and copper. We analysed the radial electric motors with cylindrical magnets, electric motors in discoidal form with axial field and motors with magnets with transverse flux. Hard magnetic materials were presented and the advantage of their use was highlighted - they retain a significant residual magnetization which translates into a significant saturation magnetization. The synthesis of Fe nanoparticles is performed and the composite materials obtained from iron powders with organic or inorganic binders are analysed with the purpose of reducing iron losses in electric motors.

Significant contributions to the emergence of this phenomenon consisted of the continued availability of services offered by the global Internet network, the diversity, the number and the usefulness of digital devices and digital competence development of people. Thus, cyberspace has become a good opportunity for malicious people. Today, cyber-attacks are very complex and sophisticated, supported and used, by state actors in their own economic, political, military or informational interest. Military organizations are targeted by cybercriminals to get as much information as possible, and the more valuable is the information, the more the attacker’s interest is increased. Investments in such actions are supported by state actors themselves. These actions are lasting, well organized and with an increased effort of human, financial and informational resources. In this context, cyberspace is identified as a domain of operations, recognized by NATO since 2016. With this accreditation, the world’s states, whether or not they are members of the alliance, have changed their approach to cyber security, by getting involved both in the content of strategies, doctrines, procedures or other regulations, and in the establishment and development of specialized structures, having qualified personnel, technique and proper equipment meant to meet the current safety standards. Missions and actions specific to cyberspace operations involve special attention from government institutions accredited in the fields of country defence and national security. When taking into account elements related to cyber defence in the strategic planning process, an effective inter-institutional cooperation must be developed.

Published: July 2019

In this article we propose the use of the persistence spectrum to accurately assess the user’s exposure to electromagnetic field emitted by new generation of communication terminals. Persistent display view available within a Real Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA) enables a graphical observation of the main statistical parameters of a signal. A simple case study of exposure assessment was conducted by measuring the electric field strength in the close proximity of a mobile phone operated in a LTE-Advanced mobile communication network. The proposed measurement procedure is presented and then applied to a limited number of operating situations (VoIP, Video streaming, File upload, File download). We made use of the persistence spectrum capabilities to directly access the signal strength statistics in time. By this procedure we demonstrate a supplementary facility that enables direct visual tracing of exposure dynamics during real time usage of a specific mobile application.

Patriarchal Oppression and Women Empowerment in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Purple Hibiscus
Authors: Astrick Tifanny
Published: July 2019

This study examines how Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Purple Hibiscus interrogates the oppressions of women in the Nigerian patriarchal society and how women empower each other lead them to women empowerment. The study shows how the oppressions of women is represented through female characters which perpetually put women in disadvantaged positions as portrayed in Purple Hibiscus. One of the most despicable oppression among the so well-known cultural practices in Nigeria is the patriarchal oppression. However, as the events unfold, efforts will be made in order to reveal of how African women are rated based on the good and real women as represented by Beatrice and Ifeoma. I argue that Adichie's approach to subvert patriarchal oppression describes that despite the struggle and pain, women assert themselves in the world of patriarchy through education and sisterhood. Adichie’s novel suggests women empowerment through social transformation confronted by women. The title of the novel, "Purple Hibiscus" may refer to a particular type of flower, but it also emphasizes the triumph of the innovative suggesting that the unusual is not necessarily bad as it looks which aims to women empowerment.

The focus of this research is Liesel Meminger’s personality as the main character which is assumed suffers from trauma and anxiety after losing the important people in her life. This research uses psychoanalytical theory by Lacan about human’s real, symbolic and imaginary; and also theory of anxiety by Freud. This research concludes that Liesel indeed suffers from trauma and anxiety which is shown by some symptoms found in her that caused by the loss of her parents and brother at young age. This loss has created a situation as if Liesel felt empty and she unconsciously longs to fulfill that emptiness. A book she had stolen in her brother funeral gives significant contribution toward Liesel’s desire in symbolic order to fulfill her lack and emptiness, but the book has also caused her to get trapped in her imaginary order until in the end, Liesel could finally find self-realization and heal from her trauma.
