Authors: YILDIRIM Nuri
Published: December 2019

In this research, volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
in the essential oil (EO), SPME and SPME of n-hexane extract of Phedimus
stoloniferus (Crassulaceae) grown in Turkey were determined by GC-FID/MS.
Major chemical class for the volatile compounds in the EO of P. stoloniferus
is carboxylic acids (50.2%). SPME and SPME of the hexane extracts of P.
stoloniferus revealed aromatic compounds (51.9% and 65.9%, respectively) as
the main constituents. n-Hexadecanoic acid (34.0%), 1-methyl-4-ethylbenzene
(20.2%), and mesitylene (28.8%) were the major compounds in the EO, SPME and
SPME of hexane extract obtained from P. stoloniferus, respectively.  Antioxidant and tyrosinase inhibitions of the
essential oil and n-hexane, methanol, and water extracts obtained from P.
stoloniferus were also studied. While the antioxidant activity was
determined to be highest in methanol extract (TEAC: 1.23±0.04), tyrosinase
enzyme inhibition was highest in the aqueous extract (IC50:
0.168±0.018) of P. stoloniferus.

Published: December 2019

Self-cleaning is the important and required function for the upholstery fabrics. At this research, which was not studied in
the references, nano TiO2 coating was appliqued on 18 double faced woven fabrics produced with jacquard weaving
technique with three different weft density, two different raw materials of warp yarns that are polyester and rayon, three
different face weave pattern under the same conditions by using sol-gel method. All fabrics were stained with the same
amount of coffee. Self-cleaning efficiency of the applied fabrics were tested at spectrophotometer by using K/S
(Colour/Strength) values after waiting 6, 12 and 24 hours under artificial sunlight and stain removal ratios were
calculated. The effects of the fibre type, weft setting and weave pattern on the air permeability of upholstery fabrics were
investigated by variance analysis by means of Minitab 17.0. TiO2 application caused air permeability reduction of
18‒40% in polyester warp fabrics and 30‒47% in rayon warp fabrics. It was seen that self-cleaning property can be got
at double faced polyester/cotton and rayon/cotton fabrics by using nano TiO2. After 24 hours sunlight exposure, the
average stain removal rates were found as 74.8% for polyester warp fabrics and 66.7% for rayon warp fabrics. Also, it
has been observed that TiO2 application imparts hydrophobic properties to all rayon and polyester warp fabrics.

Pattern cutting, sizing and fit are major issues for the clothing brands. All fashion companies are interested on how the
product will fit their target customers and this involves making samples that eventually will not look or fit as per the
desired design. 3D technology solutions are truly the best to deal with the existing needs of clothing manufacturers in
order to diminish the costs and time of the sampling process, to improve the quality and reduce the rejects. In this study,
the authors used automation techniques like computer pattern design, computer aided fabric production and 3D
Simulation software. Two different fabrics (woven and knitted) were designed and produced. Then their material
properties which have to be known by the 3D simulation were determined by official and in-house standards. Finally, 3D
visualizations of dresses were created by using pattern and material data of the fabrics. By this study we were able to
explain the product development route, from fabric design to garment prototype by using computers, for the companies
willing to benefit from the advantages of computer aided design and manufacture.

La Educación Superior en Chile está enfrentando cada día mayores desafíos asociados a la calidad de sus programas, su capacidad de adaptación a nuevos contenidos y demandas de la sociedad y el mercado, la permanente competencia a nivel nacional e internacional en términos de la captación de matrículas, y el desarrollo de las competencias disciplinares y genéricas con las cuales egresan sus estudiantes. Este último desafío se relaciona estrechamente con la innovación en los procesos y metodologías de enseñanza, y la vinculación que establezca la universidad con su entorno.

Es posible señalar que una de las formas, estudiadas a nivel nacional e internacional, de enlazar el proceso de formación profesional con las necesidades del entorno (sociedad) es la implementación de la metodología de Aprendizaje y Servicio, (Service Learning, A+S). El presente trabajo pretende analizar y evaluar la experiencia que esta metodología ha tenido en el curso de Fundamentos de Costos de la Facultad de Economía y Negocios de la Universidad de Chile.

Entre los principales resultados que serán presentados se destaca la adecuación del cuestionario para caracterizar a los estudiantes que participaron en la metodología en el contexto de la asignatura, el alto nivel de motivación social manifestado por los estudiantes, el potencial de la metodología para fomentar el desarrollo de competencias genéricas, y la efectividad de la metodología A+S para reforzar los contenidos de la asignatura.

Published: December 2019

En el marco de Proyectos de Investigación contable acreditados, se ha observado que los fundamentos y la dinámica de la auditoria o revisión del proceso y de la información contable económicofinanciera resultante pueden ser utilizados para evaluar o verificar el proceso y la información contable socio-ambiental.

En Argentina, la Federación Argentina de Consejos Profesionales en Ciencias Económicas (FA CPCE) ha propuesto normas técnicas (o tecnológicas) sobre balance social y auditoría, revisión, otros encargos de aseguramiento, certificación y servicios relacionados, por medio de las resoluciones técnicas (RT) Nº 36 y Nº 37, respectivamente.

Es el objetivo del presente actualizar las investigaciones realizadas para contribuir a la credibilidad de la información contable socio-ambiental. Para cumplir dicho objetivo, se realiza una selección y un análisis hermenéutico de aspectos pertinentes de las normas relacionadas con balance social y encargos de aseguramiento emitidas en Argentina, se obtienen resultados y se infieren conclusiones.

Entre los resultados, es posible destacar el reconocimiento de la necesidad de emitir balances sociales para la sustentabilidad, así como la de incorporar servicios profesionales contables como los encargos de aseguramiento, que pueden ser razonables o limitados.

Entre las conclusiones se expresa que la organización puede decidir la emisión del balance social en forma conjunta con los estados contables o separadamente y que el período por el cual se emite debe ser el mismo al que se refieren dichos estados contables. De ser así, cuando las circunstancias lo ameriten, puede ser conveniente realizar un encargo de aseguramiento razonable del balance social.

De presentarse un estado contable de períodos intermedios y el balance social por el mismo período, podría ser propicio realizar un encargo de aseguramiento limitado.

La revisión del balance social realizada por el profesional contable, añade credibilidad a la información, contribuyendo con el “bien común permanente” de la sociedad.

Authors: Müller Núñez Javiera N. , Coronado Martínez Freddy
Published: December 2019

La responsabilidad social (RS) se ha convertido en un fenómeno global por los múltiples eventos que transgreden los límites de una aceptable convivencia social y respetuosa con el desarrollo sostenible, asociados a desempeños poco éticos. Por esto, es transcendental que la RS esté arraigada en las creencias de los futuros líderes de las empresas y sociedad. Las universidades no pueden abstraerse de esta necesidad y menos ante un contexto que nos muestra, una y otra vez, que sus egresados tienen que asumir el liderazgo y generar cambios necesarios para que la sostenibilidad no sea solo anhelo, sino también una realidad.

El objetivo del presente trabajo es estudiar los modelos de Responsabilidad Social Universitaria (RSU) y presentar los desafíos para su implementación principalmente en Facultades de Negocios.

Para cumplir este objetivo, se darán a conocer los principales modelos existentes de RSU y se relacionarán entre sí, para determinar similitudes o diferencias.

Al analizar los modelos y contrastándolo con la realidad Chilena, se presentan los desafíos para la implementación de la RSU en instituciones de educación superior. Finalmente, se muestran algunos ejemplos de iniciativas especialmente diseñadas para Facultades de Negocios.

Entre los resultados, es posible destacar el reconocimiento de la necesidad de que la RSU sea una prioridad a nivel estratégico, y desde ahí incorporar una dirección de RSU que incluya recursos para dar curso a este tipo de iniciativas. También se destaca la necesidad de incorporar reportes de RSU periódicos a cargo de centros de responsabilidad específicos para su transparencia, comparabilidad, seguimiento y cumplimiento.
Las decisiones de financiamiento: un análisis desde la conductualidad
Authors: Bernal Peralta Jorge , Moscoso Zegarra Giomar Walter , Rossi Ernesto Leo
Published: December 2019

El proceso de tomar una decisión financiera, parte del supuesto de que cada una de las acciones que se planifiquen o discutan involucra dos aspectos: la maximización de utilidades y la reducción de costos. Por esto, se supone que dichas decisiones son enteramente racionales. Aquí nace la interrogante principal: ¿las personas toman decisiones racionales, no dejándose influenciar por factores conductuales que afectan la calidad de la decisión y su resultado?

Por lo anterior, se busca determinar si las decisiones financieras que se toman en las empresas familiares son racionales y por tanto responden a una jerarquía de preferencia en la utilización de recursos financieros (Pecking Order Theory), o existen factores conductuales que realmente afectan la decisión.

El estudio realizado es de diseño transeccional y de tipo relacional. Se consideró una muestra de 58 gerentes de empresas familiares del sector comercial de la región de Tacna (Perú), que contaban con una planilla superior a 20 trabajadores y por lo menos 10 años de actividad.

La investigación permitió concluir que el factor optimismo no tiene relación con las decisiones financieras, pero el factor confianza si tiene una relación media con las decisiones financieras. Se concluye, que los individuos que tienen relación con las decisiones de financiamiento de las empresas comerciales de la región, prefieren el financiamiento interno, a través del financiamiento por recursos propios, la reinversión de las utilidades retenidas y por tanto, la preferencia de capitalizarlas en lugar de repartir dividendos entre los socios.

Development of a country’s economy is depended upon how well the businesses contribute towards the economy. In a developing economy such as Malaysia, the role and function of SMEs is important. Finding ways on how these establishments can sustain their businesses and develop their own competitive advantage is crucial. To sustain a strong competitive position, SMEs need to identify its distinctive competency. Having a solid workforce could be one of its distinctive competencies. Thus, SMEs need to find ways on how to retain employees as this would help them to retain their important and valuable knowledge within the company. Once employees decided to leave the organization, there will be intangible losses that the organizations need to bear. Thus, strengthening its internal position and practices through succession planning such as training, strong management support, clarifying career path, strong positive vision and organizational culture and cultivating technological advancement are contended as efforts towards retaining knowledge within organization and ensuring sustainable growth of SMEs in the country. This study offers several implications. The managerial implications out of this research could be an increase understanding about managing and retaining knowledge within organization are important for organizational survival. Managing and retaining knowledge means managing employees and employees are valuable internal resources. Second, developing a good succession planning is an integral part of forward-thinking strategy that is important for strategic planning for any SMEs.

Negotiation is a method by which disputing parties settle their differences. It is a process by which compromise or agreement is reached while avoiding argument or dispute. However, the success of every negotiation depends largely on the disputant’s perceptions of each other on the negotiation table. This study investigated the influence of the perceptions of the representatives of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the representatives of the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) in the negotiation process. In order to achieve the objectives of this study, a qualitative approach was adopted. A total number of 42 participants were interviewed through an in-depth face to face interview, 23 representatives from the side of the FGN and 19 representatives from ASUU. Findings from this study revealed that ASUU and the Nigeria government have not been able to resolve their labor dispute because of the government insincere and dishonest behavior in-terms of the implementation of her agreement reached with ASUU at the negotiation table. This study also found lack of explanation and apology from the side of the Nigeria government to ASUU especially when the government fail to implement the agreement reached by both parties. In contrast, the result of this study indicates that greed and selfishness, lack of compromise as their common perceptions of the representatives of the government about ASUU which often influence the successful outcome of the negotiation for some decades. This study concluded that, disputants cannot achieve a fruitful resolution outcome without a sincere and honest communication between the two parties at the negotiation table. In addition, negotiators cannot also reach a satisfactory win-win settlement point without cooperation and compromise between the two parties.

Packaging materials provide a means to preserve, protect, merchandise, market and distribute foods. Synthetic polymers are widely and massively used to make packaging materials for diverse applications.The environmental issues due to the non-degradability of the polymer packaging material wastes demands biodegradable and environmental friendly polymers for these applications. Hence increasing research is focussed to manufacture packaging materials from biodegr-adeable synthetic and natural polymers.The present study involves fabrication of biodegradable composite polymer films by solution casting from natural biopolymers such as whey and soy proteins, and synthetic biocompatible polymer such as poly(vinyl alcohol) using UV light, glutaraldehyde etc as croslinkers, and glycerol as a plasticizes. The prepared films were evaluated for their tensile strength, water vapour permeability, thermal stability, biodegradability, structure, morphology etc. The tensile strength in terms of breaking load and % elongation measured on non standard dimension of the films were in the range 1.6 -4.7 kgf and 75-400 % respectively. Thermogravimetric studies indicated that polymer films were sufficiently thermostable for packaging uses. Soil burial test and X-ray diffraction studies of the films indicated that they were biodegradable and predominantly amorphous respectively. Glutaraldehyde crosslinked composite polymer films were found to have improved antimicrobial properties compared to the uncrosslinked film. The water vapour permeability of the fabricated films were within the acceptable range of values (5.208 -7.81 g/cm2h * 10-5 ) reported for typical biopolymer films used in packaging applications. The fabricated composite polymer films may be exploited for commercial packaging applications.

The quality of concrete construction mainly depends on the factors like concrete constituents, degree of supervision, method of curing, etc. Hitherto, one of the most influencing factors is the mix design or proportioning that contributes major parts directly to the quality of finished product. Unlike conventional concrete the mix proportion of Self-Compacting Concrete or Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC) is complex since it incorporates special concrete chemicals such as Viscosity Modifying Agent (VMA), Air Entraining Agent (AEA), and so on, that tends to alter the workability and other properties of concrete and moreover it has no standard procedures and is generally carried out by trial and error method. This research seeks to develop a rational methodology for optimal mix proportion strategy for SCC based on the standard tests on SCC such as V-funnel and J-ring test conducted in the concrete laboratory in controlled environment as per EFNARC 2005 standard guidelines. The test results are incorporated for computer simulation and using a Heuristic Search Algorithms, the optimum mix proportioning of SCC for different admixtures are obtained.

Different errors are attacks the VLSI SoC designs these are harm to Mathematical operations and obstacles to results because of this soft core errors are trending to screen. With the increase of information communication, sources of noise (SON) and interference and parallel processing, increases the fault tolerances so designers have been striving to achieve with the require for extra competent and consistent techniques for detecting and correcting faults in parallel “transmission_(TX)” and “reception_(RX)” of data. even if some methods and advances have been projected and apply in past years but information dependability in TX and TX is at rest a trouble. In this research we recommend a more efficient mutual “error_detection” & “correction_technique” stand on the Artificial intelligent algorithmic based fault tolerance (AIABFT) with parallel Orthogonal Codes, and vertical parity. With the help of proposed method designing a parallel processing faults detection and correction FFT. This AIABFT method has been experimentally executed and replicated using Xilinx_vivadoResults of the simulation indicate that the suggested method detects 97% of the mistakes and corrections as expected in the received impaired n-bit code up to (n/2-1) bits of mistakes

Wind power extraction has found an expressive growth in the past few years. This work endeavors on maximum utility power generation from wind resource and fulfill the needs of the society. Power extraction is composed of wind turbine (WT), induction machine (IM) and matrix converter (MC) forms a system of wind energy conversion (WECS). The stator and rotor synchronous speed of the IM is controlled by adjusting the frequency using MC for different given wind speeds. As the power accessible from induction generator (IG) is a component of WT shaft speed, so that maximum power is extracted by changing frequency for different wind speeds. MC acts as bridge between the grid and induction generator to confirm purely active generated power injection to the grid and maintains power factor at unity (UPF) at the grid side. To track and extract the maximum power for different wind velocities based on constant voltage/frequency control strategy to regulate the shaft speed of IM accordingly is presented. The effective maximum power generation is supported by simulation results and analysis with respect to WT characteristics is proposed.

Seismometer is an instrument that generates seismic wave signals and accurately reflect the movement of the ground. With the development of science and technology, especially when the introduction of electronic feedback technology and the development of digital seismic, the development direction of seismometer was high sensitivity, wide band, anti-interference and low power consumption. Looking forward to the new development direction of seismometer, the research development and application prospect of seismometer are widening. In this paper, the complexity faced in the seismic wave is introduced. The seismometer (newton-meter) calculated by the seismometer instrument during earth-quake has complexity in it due to large amount of magnitude therefore converting it into logarithmic moment (magnitude) becomes ease in data representation. Conversion of given seismic-moment (newton-meter) value to logarithmic magnitude should be performed by using simple logarithmic calculation and also conversion of given logarithmic magnitude value to a logical Seismic - moment value should be performed vice versa. The data visualization is enhanced easily since data of infinite value is converted into measurable finite value .Therefore convertion eases analyzing data during underground nuclear weapon test, occurance of natural tremors etc.

This paper proposes a novel Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) based filter type Proportional Integral and Derivative (PID) controller in multi-area interconnected power system for achieving simultaneously Automatic Generation Control (AGC) and Economic Load Dispatch (ELD). Conventional AGC is economically inefficient in regards to each area has to fulfill its own load variation in responses to keep tie-line power (ΔPtie) its scheduled value. To achieve this ACE based AGC is modified by integrating with ELD and combined known as Economic AGC or Eco-AGC. In Eco-AGC concern though change in area frequency(Δf) is brought to zero but tie-line power deviation (ΔPtie) never comes to zero as power always transmitted from generating station having lower incremental fuel cost to generating station having higher incremental fuel cost. In this regard an optimized filter based PID controller is used for stabilizing different dynamic responses of the Eco-AGC system. The proposed controller gains are tuned by using Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) techniques and for supremacy it is compared with standard PSO and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm. The supremacy of MFO based PID structure over PSO and DE based PID and without ED controller has been demonstrated through dynamic responses. Finally it is revealed in Eco-AGC concern, the committed units are economically scheduled and there is a significant improvement in all dynamic responses of the system.
