ETIKA DISKUSI DALAM PERSPEKTIF AL-QUR’AN
Authors: Zulfikar Eko
Published: October 2019

In the discussion forum, of course, there is the variability of arguments from various parties in order to get the objectives to be achieved. There is a discussion that ends sweetly with a good solution, there is also a discussion that ends with a dispute that causes hostility. Therefore, in a discussion, a code of ethics is needed for a conducive and constructive atmosphere of discussion. This paper will introduce how the ethics of discussion summarized in the Koran. By using the thematic method, it was concluded that there were at least seven ethical discussions in the perspective of the Qur'an, namely; sincere and true intentions, pay attention and listen well to the other person, armed with knowledge and strong-accurate argumentation, using clear-straightforward and gentle rhetoric, being fair and objective, being cooperative and being ready to return to the truth, and avoiding a nagging attitude - do not want to budge and want to win alone. With this ethic, it is expected that the hostility raised in the discussion can be avoided and the purpose of the discussion created is to create an atmosphere of intimacy and mutual understanding. Keyword: Discussion, Ethics, Qur'an, Thematic Interpretations
KITAB TADABBUR AL-QUR’AN KARYA BACHTIAR NASIR DALAM PERSPEKTIF EPISTEMOLOGI
Authors: Rosy Fathor
Published: October 2019

This study aims to examine the epistemology of the tadabbur al-Qur’an by Bahctiar Nasir. This book can be said as the only work Ulama’ of Indonesian. The tadabbur al-Qur'an is almost rarely found in the works of Ulama and al-Qur’an experts, both classical and modern, the scholars more often use the term tafsir, whereas many are found in the text of the Quran is a command to “reflection” not interpret. This research is a library research and field research with a descriptive-analytical method to reveal the epistemology of tadabbur al-Qur’an by Bachtiar Nasir. The conclusions of this study, namely: first, the concept of tadabbur al-Qur’an by Bachtiar Nasir is not much different from the books of commentary in general, the difference is only the addition of reflection or tadabbur at the end of each interpretation of the verse. This tadabbur al-Qur’an book when referring to the 10 steps of the tadabbur concept cannot be categorized as a tadabbur al-Qur’an book because both the content and the systematic writing are not much different from other interpretations. Keyword: Reflection, Bachtiar Nasir, Tafsir, Epsitemology
PARTISIPASI PEREMPUAN DALAM OLAHRAGA PERSPEKTIF HERMENEUTIKA HADIS FAZLUR RAHMAN
Authors: Hasan Rianto
Published: October 2019

Muslim society perception of gender issues are influenced and constructed based on their religious understanding. Oftentimes, controversy arises because of difference in perspective regarding the discussion. One of factual problem that is often questioned is the discourse about women's participation in the sport. Therefore this paper was made by making the above polemic as an academic problem that was answered based on the epistemological fundamental of the hadith, specifically using the Fazlur Rahman’s hermeneutic method of Hadith. From the research that has been done it was found that Islam affirms sporting activity for women both the activity is carried out as an ordinary physical routine, and it is occupied as a field of work as a female athlete whose pioneering sport activity for self-career development. This validity is obtained by women with several prerequisites : 1). Comply with religious norms, decency, and other consideration such as medical procedure in their activity so as to avoid the emergence of adverse effect or loss-material and immaterial-to personal and other people. 2). Balancing the division of time between sport activity and other routines that also have crucial value. Keyword: hermeneutic, Hadith, Fazlur Rahman, Gender, Sport
PROBLEMA QIRÂ’ÂT DALAM AL-QUR’AN PERSPEKSTIF MUḤAMMAD SHAḤRÛR
Authors: Fauzi Ahmad
Published: October 2019

The majority of Muslim scholars have agreed that al- Qirā’āt al-Sab῾ or al- Qirā’āt al-‘Asyr is a ṣaḥῑḥah (valid) and acceptable qirā’āt. The variety in reading the Qur’an is believed to be part of al-Aḥruf al-Sab῾ah which was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad SAW. In contrast to this view, Muḥammad Syaḥrūr had analysed various kinds of qirā’ah through contemporary reading. Syaḥrūr indicated that there was an error that occured when giving syakal and i῾rāb to the texts of al-Tanzῑl al-Ḥakῑm the HolyQur’an. He justified that the error was ocured due to human error which then contributed greatly to the emergence of different pronunciation in the future. This study examines the perspective of Syahrur towards qirā’āt, in which researcher have found that Syaḥrūr’s perspective about qirā’āt is only assumption with lack of scientific evidence. Syaḥrūr has missed several aspects within his study towards parts of qirā’ah, for example the strict sanad lines through the history of a qirā’ah which was obtained through analytic descriptive and historical methods. There is also found that Syaḥrūr’s opinion was influenced by perspective of Western scholars (orientalists) who also doubted the authenticity of qirā’āt, even though he did not explain this.Keywords: Muhammad Shahrur, qira’at, al-ahruf al-sab῾ah, shakl.
SEKSUAL DALAM AL-QUR’AN
Authors: Rohman Abdur
Published: October 2019

Sexual has the meaning of the case relating to intercourse between men and women. Talking about sex is a taboo subject, but the Quran as a holy book talks about it. For this reason, this research will focus on discussing sexual issues discussed in the Quran. This research method uses qualitative technical-library research with a thematic interpretation approach (mawdu‘i). The results of this study conclude that: First, Halal sex can be mapped into six redaction: Rafath means sex because it is identical with dirty things; Mubasharah means sex because of meeting the skin; Qaraba means sex because it is so close; Taghaththa> means coming to have sex; Nikah means sex permisible with Sha>ri’; Dukhul means sex because it includes the male genitalia in the female genitalia for husband and wife. Secondly forbidden sex, al-Qur’an uses the bigha redaction, it is meaning coercion to women to become Prostitute; al-musafihat prostitute women in the context of accusations; Muttakhidat akhdan means mistress; Fahishah means immorality (sex); Zina means unlawful sexual (free sex). Keyword: Sex, Tafsir, Thematics
The Politics of Resilience
Authors: Titang Franklin
Published: October 2019

The integration of the resilience concept into contemporary international development agendas is increasingly gaining acclamation amongst policy makers and international development agencies. It has been conceived as an operational trajectory for shock and crisis management especially for socio-economically vulnerable and deprived communities in Africa and beyond, and has surpassed boundaries, becoming more visible in various domains of development intervention including health, financial and environmental discourses. This paper discusses succinctly the malleability of the resilience paradigm within the sustainable development discourse and seeks to underscore the propensity of resilience to navigate across sectors by identifying the various contextualization and pathways in which it intersects with development. It highlights some positive variables of resilience but also denotes some contextual shortcomings, precisely the assumption that the concept is a constructive approach to poverty alleviation. However, the paper concludes that the in depth application of resilience with regards to context is imperative for a more sustainable anticipation of impending threats and crisis for vulnerable communities and societies.

Published: October 2019

In the contemporary business world, the role of accounting information in making or marring a business cannot be overemphasized. Recent worldwide advances in manufacturing technologies have brought about a metamorphosis in industry. This paper established the relationship between accounting information and managerial decision making in the manufacturing industry in Nigeria. The study was guided by the following research objectives; to establish the relationship that exists between accounting information and production decisions; to evaluate the relationship that exists between accounting information and human resource management decisions and to assess the relationship that exists between accounting information and marketing decisions in the Nigerian manufacturing sector. The research design adopted for this study is the survey design. The population of the study comprised of the eight companies in beverage sector of the manufacturing industry in Nigeria. The survey research made use of Seven Up Bottling Company Plc, and Nigeria Bottling Company as representatives of the manufacturing industry. Primary data was collected through administering of questionnaire to the staff of the companies. The sample size of the study was 382 derived from the Yaro Yamani’s formula. Based on the findings, it was concluded that accounting information has an effect on managerial decision making in the Nigerian manufacturing industry. The study recommended that due to the importance of human capital in any organisation, promotion, transfer and retrenchment decisions should be handled with utmost sensitivity. Also, accounting information should therefore be inculcated into the taking of such decisions as it will affect the human resource management department and the organisation as a whole if the wrong decision is taken.

Published: October 2019

By applying the theory of planned behavior, which is the attitude, subjective norms, and behavior control perceived, this study discusses the influence of the Business House as an Entrepreneurship Education Program to increase the intention of university students in entrepreneurship.  A quantitative approach was chosen for this research. The study was conducted at Universitas Muhammadiyah Surabaya Indonesia (UMSurabaya). The unit analysis was 480 students who had taken courses in Introduction to Business. Using the Krejcie Morgan table with an error rate of 5%, the sample is 202, after being collected again with google form complete data was obtained to be analyzed with SPSS of 190 respondents. The data analysis used includes descriptive analysis and path analysis. The findings of this research found evidence that attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavior control have a positive and significant influence on student entrepreneurial intention by being mediated by entrepreneurial education programs in the form of business house activities. The findings of this study imply that entrepreneurship education program activities are needed in the lectures of business students as entrepreneurial education programs to strengthen student intentions in family business knowledge. This implication is very important especially applied in universities that expect graduates to do business.
Privatisation And Entrepreneurship Development In Nigerian Economic Growth
Authors: Igbari Olusola
Published: October 2019

The fundamental goal for the pursuit of efficient growth; equity; support of entrepreneurship development; alleviation of poverty and environmental protection as well as meeting other needs is seemingly the desire of the Nigerian government and one of its  arsenal of actualizing this goal is fund generation through privatization of the public sector. But the reality of the phenomenon has become a conceptual trump card, so politicized that it no longer implies the same meaning it did from the beginning. The study used descriptive method to examine Privatization as a phenomenon and its attendant effects on Entrepreneurship Development vis-à-vis the Nigerian Economic Growth through secondary data collection. It observed the need for the participation of both government and private sector in the development of entrepreneurship which is a key factor to the growth of the nation’s economy. It concludes that the failure of the government in its privatization policies and serious support for small scale industries has contributed to the underdevelopment of the economy. It recommends that government should at all levels establish a strong support and create an enabling environment for small scale industries to thrive.

Authors: Dragomir Loredana , Mazilu Mirela , Marinescu Roxana , Bălă Dumitru
Published: October 2019

Competitiveness together with innovation are printed on all components of a tourist destination, from the tourist product to the elements of attraction, infrastructure, entertainment, human resources, image and character, not forgetting the price that can launch or restrict it on a dynamic tourist market where quality overtakes in recent years and meets dynamic tourist demand. This article aims to analyze the two imperative components in the sustainable functionality of a tourist destination, inseparable binomial, competitiveness and innovation as the only viable ways of halting the decline in the lifecycle of a tourist destination Oltenia. The article also attempts to apply for the Oltenia region the criteria for denominate a tourist destination in the optics of regional competitiveness and more, a tourist destination which is unfortunately currently not competitive, although it has the necessary parameters for identifying competitiveness (natural and cultural resources, customs and traditions, unique local products, tourist identity, etc.). Through specific geographical methods (diagnosis, prospective, documentary, graphical representation, and also Butler's TALC model) the article sets out a complex theoretical and methodological framework, with factual determinations in promoting the destination Oltenia as a destination of excellence in Romania (The Danube Gorge may be considered as the region's visiting card, being thus awarded the title of "European Destination of Excellence" in 2008).
Understanding the Mechanism of Workload Distribution Among Auditors in BPK RI in Relation to Gender: An Exploratory Study
Authors: Suhud Hari
Published: October 2019

The purpose of this study is to provide a relevant conceptual model of the mechanism of workload distribution among auditors in BPK RI in relation to gender. The exploratory research was conducted to achieve its research objectives with six respondents are chosen for this study. Thematic analysis with coding technique, document analysis, and observation are used to collect and analyze the data. The result shows that there is no regulation which explains explicitly in detail about the working mechanism of the auditor when carrying out the auditing task. Also, the researcher did not find an explanation of how the procedure for distributing workload to the auditor after the audit team was determined. It means that the mechanism of workload distribution among auditors implements in the field with the non-technical guideline. Another finding shows that BPK RI does not differentiate treatment of auditors based on gender. Male and female employees have the same rights and obligations as auditors. However, in practice in the field, there are still differences in treatment between male and female auditors, especially related to the distribution of workload when conducting the audit tasks. However, the difference in treatment does not affect the amount of compensation they receive and does not affect their career development opportunities. Finally, the researcher offers a conceptual model to answer the objective of this research.

MILLENNIALS’ CAREER DECISION-MAKING DIFFICULTIES (CDMD) IN INDONESIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Authors: Murniarti Erni
Published: October 2019

Though millennial has unique characteristics as digital natives who prefer to interact with images, branded goods, to have idols and who are interested in modern technological utilization, studying their career decision-making difficulties (CDMD) is barely reported in Indonesia. To respond to such gap, the current report was designed to pattern the CDMD of both male (N = 120) and female (N = 140) undergraduate students in Indonesia. The instrument of the research was totally adopted from Gati et al's. (1996) career decision-making difficulties questionnaire. Descriptive anaylsis showed that the male (M = 4.93) have higher difficulties than the females (M = 4.85). With different levels of difficulties, the current study, therefore, corresponds to Mau's (2004), Guan et al's. (2015), and di Fabio, Palazzeschi, Levin, Levin, and Gati's (2015) reports.
An Analysis of the Status of women Leadership in Education Sector of the catchment areas of Wolaita Sodo University
Authors: Labiso Tafano Ouke
Published: October 2019

The purpose of this study was to investigate causes for the underrepresentation of women in top positions of the education sector of the catchment areas of Wolaita Sodo University. Hence, to realize this purpose, secondary school teachers, principals of secondary schools, and supervisors of all levels, and heads of education offices and departments of Dawro and Wolaita administrative zones were used as the target population. In order to make the study manageable, the sample secondary schools teachers were selected by simple random sampling technique, and principals and supervisors were selected through purposive sampling techniques. Descriptive survey research design and concurrent mixed approaches were applied. Both close-ended and open-ended questionnaires and unstructured interviews were used to collect data. Frequency counts, and percentages were employed for quantitative data through close-ended questionnaire. Data through qualitative questionnaire were narrated and used for the sake of triangulation. The finding showed that women were underrepresented due to self-related factors, socio-cultural factors, institutional factors, economic factors, and political-legal factors in the leadership positions of secondary and primary schools, principal ship positions, and supervisory positions. Thus, it was concluded that though the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has taken a number of affirmative actions and stipulated the issue of empowering women in the constitution, yet women were strikingly underrepresented in Dawro and Wolaita zones of south Ethiopia, particularly in the education sector. Therefore, it was recommended that taking into account that women are half the population, talented in leadership and management and the advantage of gender diversity in educational leadership institutions, government and the large society should strive towards empowering women.
Corporate Governance Quality and Capital Structure Decisions: Empirical Evidence from Canada
Authors: Lin Dan , Lin Lu
Published: October 2019

This study examines the relationship between corporate governance quality and capital structure of firms listed on the S&P/TSX composite index between 2009 and 2012. Using an aggregate corporate governance index, this study finds support for the outcome hypothesis, which argues that capital structure is an “outcome” of corporate governance quality. Governance quality is found to be positively associated with firms’ leverage. Firms with lower governance quality have lower leverage as these firms’ managers do not like to have only little free cash flow leftover or have extra constraints imposed by debt financing. In contrast, firms with higher governance quality are more leveraged because these firms have lower agency costs and thus lower cost of debt financing. As a result, they can take on more debts. The empirical evidence from this study illuminates important links between governance quality and financing decisions of firms.
“Internet + Community”
Authors: Lin Zelong
Published: October 2019

After the implementation of complete credit system, colleges gradually lead the class students to individualization, which is consistent with the characteristics of individualization in the Internet age. And the trend of “Internet community” constructed by Internet, from the earlier micro-blog to the current WeChat group or Moments, also provides us with new ideas on how to carry out values education for "individualized" college students under the complete credit system. The promotion of complete credit system in colleges and the trend of the "Internet community" enable colleges to effectively carry out values education of college students through a new way. Hence, colleges should, on one hand, pay more attention to the implicit education, understand and master the dissemination rules of the network platform, as well as utilize the new carrier of values education innovatively. On the other hand, colleges are also encouraged to construct the "Internet community" type education mode from the three dimensions of perfecting the community structure, adjusting the group mentality and emphasizing the guidance of public opinion.
Bifurcations of nontrivial solutions of a cubic Helmholtz system
Authors: Mandel Rainer , Scheider Dominic
Published: October 2019

This paper presents local and global bifurcation results for radially symmetric solutions of the cubic Helmholtz system

$$\begin{array}{}
\displaystyle
\begin{cases}
-{\it\Delta} u - \mu u = \left( u^2 + b \: v^2 \right) u &\text{ on } \mathbb{R}^3,
\\
-{\it\Delta} v - \nu v = \left( v^2 + b \: u^2 \right) v &\text{ on } \mathbb{R}^3.
\end{cases}
\end{array}$$

It is shown that every point along any given branch of radial semitrivial solutions (u0, 0, b) or diagonal solutions (ub, ub, b) (for μ = ν) is a bifurcation point. Our analysis is based on a detailed investigation of the oscillatory behavior and the decay of solutions at infinity.

The paper contains an extension of Malyshev theorem for n-ary quasigroups with a right or left weak invertibility property to the case of strongly dependent n-ary operations. As a corollary a new proof of Gluskin–Hosszú theorem for strongly dependent n-ary semigroups is obtained.
Generation of the alternating group by modular additions
Authors: Malyshev Fedor M.
Published: October 2019

The paper is concerned with systems of generators of permutation groups on Cartesian products of residue rings. Each separate permutation from the system of generators is constructed on the basis of additions, is characterized by the local action, and leaves fixed the major parts of the components of the element being transformed. A criterion of 2-transitivity of the generated permutation group is given in the form of the strong connectedness of the digraph which corresponds to the system of generators and which is defined on the set of numbers of residue rings in the Cartesian product. Necessary and sufficient conditions under which this group contains an alternating group are formulated.

Compositions of a numerical semigroup
Authors: Gu Ze
Published: October 2019

Given a numerical semigroup S, a nonnegative integer a and m ∈ S ∖ {0}, we introduce the set C(S, a, m) = {s + aw(s mod m) | s ∈ S}, where {w(0), w(1), ⋯, w(m – 1)} is the Apéry set of m in S. In this paper we characterize the pairs (a, m) such that C(S, a, m) is a numerical semigroup. We study the principal invariants of C(S, a, m) which are given explicitly in terms of invariants of S. We also characterize the compositions C(S, a, m) that are symmetric, pseudo-symmetric and almost symmetric. Finally, a result about compliance to Wilf’s conjecture of C(S, a, m) is given.
Peculiarities of geological and thermobaric conditions for the gas hydrate deposits occurence in the Black Sea and the prospects for their development
Authors: Bondarenko V. , Sai K. , Petlovanyi M.
Published: October 2019

The actuality has been revealed of the necessity to attract the gas hydrate depos- its of the Black Sea into industrial development as an alternative to traditional gas fields. This should be preceded by the identification and synthesis of geological and thermobaric peculiarities of their existence. It was noted that the gas hydrates formation occurs under certain thermobaric conditions, with the availability of a gas hydrate-forming agent, which is capable of hydrate formation, as well as a sufficient amount of water necessary to start the crystallization process. The gas hydrate accumulation typically does not occur in free space – in sea water, but in the massif of the sea bed rocks. The important role in the process of natural gas hydrates formation is assigned to thermobaric parameters, as well as to the properties and features of the geological environment, in which, actually, the process of hydrate formation and further hydrate accumulation occurs. It was noted that the source of formation and accumulation of the Black Sea gas hydrates is mainly catagenetic (deep) gas, but diagenetic gas also takes part in the process of gas hydrate deposits formation. The main component of natural gas hydrate deposits is methane and its homologs – ethane, propane, isobutane. The analysis has been made of geological and geophysical data and literature materials devoted to the study of the offshore area and the bottom of the Black Sea, as well as to the identification of gas hydrate deposits. It was established that in the offshore area the gas hydrate deposits with a heterogeneous structure dominate, that is, which comprises a certain proportion of aluminosilicate inclusions. It was noted that theBlack Sea bottom sediments, beginning with the depths of 500 – 600 m, are gassy with methane, and a large sea part is favourable for hydrate formation at temperatures of +8...+9oC and pressures from 7 to 20 MPa at different depths. The characteristics of gas hydrate deposits are provided, as well as requirements and aspects with regard to their industrialization and development. It is recommended to use the method of thermal influence on gas hydrate deposits, since, from an ecological point of view, it is the safest method which does not require additional water resources for its implementation, because water intake is carried out directly from the upper sea layers. A new classification of gas hydrate deposits with a heterogeneous structure has been developed, which is based on the content of rocks inclusions in gas hydrate, the classification feature of which is the amount of heat spent on the dissociation process.
Dynamics of migration property of some heavy metals in soils in Kharkiv region under the influence of the pyrogenic factor
Authors: Buts Y. , Asotskyi V. , Kraynyuk O. , Ponomarenko R. , Kovalev P.
Published: October 2019

In soils after fires trace metals sharply change their migration ability and can form poorly-soluble hydroxides which are hazardous chemical formations, the nature of which has not been fully explored until now. In addition, in interstitial water, there is a probability of the formation by metals of hydroxocomplexes with different amounts of hydroxide ions. We studied the range of dynamics of migration capacity of sedimentation of hydroxides and the region of predominance of soluble hydroxocomplexes by developing logarithmic concentration diagrams (LCD). We developed logarithmic concentration diagrams, the equation of formation of prevailing forms, using which it is possible to clearly determine the regions of maximum sedimentation (accumulation) of hydroxides and hydroxocomplexes of heavy metals after the influence of the pyrogenic factor. The obtained calculations of the results of the predictive modeling of the dynamics of migration capacity and postpyrogenic migration geochemical processes in ecogeosystems have been organized and systematized. The determined patterns can be useful for the analysis of possible geochemical migration (accumulation) of heavy metals in ecological systems in the study of technogenic and ecological situation after fires. Based on the calculations made, mathematical models of heavy metals` behaviour are developed, which are useful for drawing up a forecast estimation of the dynamics of their geochemical migration and accumulation in ecological systems as a result of the influence of the technogenic loading of the pyrogenic factor. The conditions of concentration and migration of compounds of heavy metals were determined, and the equation for calculating the concentration of mobile forms of trace metal compounds has been developed. The developed map of the activity of geochemical migration of heavy metals under the influence of the technogenic loading of pyrogenic factor will make it possible to elaborate the migratory capacity of trace metals and provide a forecast of their behaviour in ecological systems after fires. This will allow preventive measures to be taken to ensure environmental safety and prevent adverse effects on human health and the condition of the components of the environment. The creation of similar cartographic material may be extrapolated to other regions of Ukraine, affected by technogenic loading of pyrogenic factor. The development of logarithmic concentration diagrams allows us to predict the capacity of compounds of lead, nickel, chromium,and copper for migration or accumulation of heavy metals due to changes in the acidity of soils under the influence of the pyrogenic factor. Having used the map of the soils of the Kharkiv region, we analyzed and provided a forecast of the migration ability of lead compounds in cases of fire in different types and subtypes of different environmental conditions.
Human geography in Ukraine: problems of development and priority research directions
Authors: Shevchuk S. M.
Published: October 2019

The problems of development of scientific schools of human geography in Ukraine are determined. It is shown that contemporary human geography in Ukraine is a methodologically formed science with its own theoretical and methodological apparatus, which under the current conditions should be aimed at solving the applied problems regarding the improvement of the socio- territorial organization in Ukraine.The article analyses the different functional aspects of development of human geography in Ukraine. Among the main problems that hinder the development of scientific schools, and there- fore the science in general, are the following: individualized activity of scientific schools without specific purpose, partial realization of their contribution to all-school social geography, and contribution to the world of science; the problem of definition , which is as- sociated with the use of simultaneous usage of different terms for the science ;«economic and social geography», «socio-economic geography», «social geography»; the problem of social differentiation, geography and lack of a pivotal system of logically completed laws of science that could integrate different paradigms and research areas; lack of implementation of applied science functions     and etc. Considerable attention is paid to the prospects of comprehension of human geography related to improvement of the theo- retical basis in accordance with the realities of the beginning of XXI century, emphasis is placed on applied aspects of science and avoidance of pointless abstraction.The strategic goal of socio-geographical science is the determination of economic, demographic, social, political and environmental capacities of the geographic shell, justification of rational parameters of regional and global nature management, identification of the main trends of technological, sectoral and territorial development of the economy of Ukraine and its regions.It is proved that the main tasks of the science are also studies of the quality of life of the population; improvement of the structure of production and its transfer to an innovative level; definition and achievement of the optimal social, functional-branch and territorial structure of the economy; optimizing the structure of economic, social, political and other ties. At the regional and local levels, priorities include the problems of nature use and nature conservation, the development of depressed regions, the justification and implementation of regional economic, social, demographic and environmental policies. The key to solving these problems from the methodological point of view is the substantiation of the general theory of regional studies taking into account the diversity of the territorial organization of society.

Published: October 2019

The article deals with the structure of the modern information technology system used in the tourism industry. It is emphasized that the use of information technology in each separate segment of the tourism industry, such as hotels, ticket reservations, the creation of specialized tourist products, is interlinked with all others. The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of the using of modern information technologies in the tourism industry. It was established that the introduction of information technology in the tourism industry took place in four stages, from the creation of data, through the direct development of   information technologies , the development of strategic information systems and the integration of individual IT components      in a network of different levels, from local to global. It is revealed that the majority of tourist enterprises use both standard and special software in their activity. For tourism enterprises to carry out marketing activities successfully, the information market offers technologies aimed at the process of automating the accumulation of survey results, planning and developing a marketing strategy. One of the most important elements in the tourism industry is computer reservation systems, which eventually integrated into global booking systems. These systems provide not only transport services, but also hotel accommodation, cruise trips, location information, bus, rail and air connections, exchange rates, weather reports, etc., allowing one to reserve all major components of the tour. Tour operators use several classic approaches to building a reservation system. The features of the market of tourist services, the specific characteristics of the services themselves and the peculiarities of their perception by consumers determine the specifics of marketing in this area. The use of information technologies, in particular the Internet, enables businesspeople and marketers to explore new market opportunities for their travel services, to highlight and explore various market segments (geographic, demographic, professional, organizational, behavioural, etc.). Tracking relevant information can be used to predict the future development of consumer demand and identify new trends in the behaviour of existing and potential customers. The use of geoinformation systems opens up broad prospects for engineering justification and design of new tourist routes and recreational areas, the publication of thematic tourist maps and the creation of web atlases, etc. Thus, thanks to information technologies, a single tourist information space is created that allows all players in the tourist market to quickly receive real information.

Abstract:

Introduction: The term “spam” is applied to unwanted commercial e-mails sent to all whose e-mail addresses have been acquired by the spammers. The number of undesirable e-mails is growing in the health-care related areas as well. The targets of health-care related spams are laymen, physicians and academic researchers alike. Method: On the basis of 12,986 unwanted letters received in one year, the authors concluded that percentage of health-related spam is the second most common spam (27%) in relation to all spam. Most of the spam (63%) aggressively promoted purchasing of various consumer goods, but health-related spam are far ahead of the rest. The collected data were grouped by year and topic and they are analyzed by simple descriptive statistics. Spam form of cyber attacks on health care issues were divided into two: spam what is jeopardized individuals’ health (e.g. medical compounds without any curing effect, misleading statement on medical device, fraudulent panacea offers, and cheating cure methods, etc.) and onslaught on medical scientific activity (pseudo-scientific congress invitation, predator journal invitation etc.). Results: The topics of spams addressed to laymen are offered for perfect healing by strange treatments, cures (31%), panaceas (19%), lifestyle advice (19%), massage (16%), brand new health-care devices (4%) and drugs for sexual dysfunction (11%). The topics of spams addressed to physicians and researchers are deluged by pseudoscientific materials: invitation for articles to be sent to no-name/fake open-access journals (68%), invitation to participate at an obscure congress (27%) or newsletters on miscellanous medical topics (5%). Conclusion: The spams offer very often relief or solution to medical problems that the present-day medical practice cannot solve perfectly (oncological, musculo-sceletal, endocrin or metabolic problems). Understandably, the patients would hold on to fake hopes – and the authentic patient education and health promotion will be neglected. These unwanted messages practically cannot be unsubscribed, and – while the spam filters are far from perfection – the victim must go through the filtered spam-dustbin in order not to miss some real messages. Unfortunately no legal regulation (neither local, nor GDPR) can block or stop the spams. The spams are misleading the laymen and jeopardise the effects of professional and responsible health promotion and health education. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(43): 1706–1710.
Sulfate-induced changes in rheological properties of fibre-reinforced cemented paste backfill
Authors: Bian Jiwei , Fall Mamadou , Haruna Sada
Published: October 2019

Cemented paste backfill (CPB), a soft concrete-like material, is extensively used in underground mines worldwide for ground support and/or mine waste disposal. One of the most important ingredients in CPB is cement but it is expensive and can amount to 75% of the cost of the CPB. Therefore, CPB reinforced with fibres has been proposed and introduced in backfill operations to reduce the overall cement usage and cost, as well as improve the mechanical performance of CPB. However, the rheological properties of fibre-reinforced CPB and the factors that affect them are not well understood. The objective of this study is to therefore evaluate the effect of sulfate, which is commonly found in CPB, on the yield stress and viscosity of fibre-reinforced CPB through a series of experiments. The results show that the yield stress decreases with an increase in the initial sulfate content, while the viscosity increases as the sulfate content is increased. The sulfate ions significantly affect the amount and type of cement hydration products that form in the backfill matrix as well as the zeta potential of the fibre-reinforced CPB. The presented findings will contribute to improve the design and optimisation of backfill transport systems.
Pretransplant Kinetics of Anti-HLA Antibodies in Patients on the Waiting List for Kidney Transplantation

Significance Statement

Because the presence of pretransplant donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies is associated with increased organ rejection risk, patients on transplant waiting lists are regularly monitored for changes in their alloimmune status. In this retrospective analysis, the authors investigated the dynamics of anti-HLA antibodies over time in patients on a kidney transplant waiting list. Their findings show that the kinetics of alloimmunity are highly individualized and do not appear to correlate with the interval between measurements. However, the magnitude of alloimmune status change increased significantly in patients with a previous transplant versus those without such a history. This suggests that an individualized strategy for alloimmune status monitoring of patients on organ transplant waiting lists on the basis of their alloimmunization history might be preferable to current recommendations for regular monitoring.

Background

Patients on organ transplant waiting lists are evaluated for preexisting alloimmunity to minimize episodes of acute and chronic rejection by regularly monitoring for changes in alloimmune status. There are few studies on how alloimmunity changes over time in patients on kidney allograft waiting lists, and an apparent lack of research-based evidence supporting currently used monitoring intervals.

Methods

To investigate the dynamics of alloimmune responses directed at HLA antigens, we retrospectively evaluated data on anti-HLA antibodies measured by the single-antigen bead assay from 627 waitlisted patients who subsequently received a kidney transplant at University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland, between 2008 and 2017. Our analysis focused on a filtered dataset comprising 467 patients who had at least two assay measurements.

Results

Within the filtered dataset, we analyzed potential changes in mean fluorescence intensity values (reflecting bound anti-HLA antibodies) between consecutive measurements for individual patients in relation to the time interval between measurements. Using multiple approaches, we found no correlation between these two factors. However, when we stratified the dataset on the basis of documented previous immunizing events (transplant, pregnancy, or transfusion), we found significant differences in the magnitude of change in alloimmune status, especially among patients with a previous transplant versus patients without such a history. Further efforts to cluster patients according to statistical properties related to alloimmune status kinetics were unsuccessful, indicating considerable complexity in individual variability.

Conclusions

Alloimmune kinetics in patients on a kidney transplant waiting list do not appear to be related to the interval between measurements, but are instead associated with alloimmunization history. This suggests that an individualized strategy for alloimmune status monitoring may be preferable to currently used intervals.
The problem of self-devouring growth
Authors: Livingston Julie
Published: October 2019

How should future health be measured, in light of the insights collected in this special issue? This afterword calls into question the imperative of economic growth, showing how insatiable growth, predicated on consumption, produces profound collateral health effects, a process termed here ‘self-devouring growth’. I argue for a new mode of value in public health predicated on refusing any calculus that separates desired effects from collateral effects.

İş sağlığı ve
güvenliği (İSG) mevzuat değişiklikleri ve yeni İSG uygulamalarının İSG
performansına etkisinin belirlenmesi; işletmenin kendi performansını bulunduğu
sektördeki diğer işletmelerle kıyaslayabilmesi; ihalelerde veya alt yüklenici
seçiminde aday firmaların İSG performansının ölçülmesi için İSG performansının
hızlı, objektif ve gerçekçi bir şekilde ölçülmesi zaruri bir ihtiyaçtır.
Literatürdeki yöntemler, sadece bir işletme için yüksek uzmanlık gerektiren
uzun süreli gözlemler yoluyla İSG performans ölçümü yapmaktadır. Birden çok
işletme için hızlıca sonuç verebilecek bir İSG performans ölçüm yöntemine
rastlanmamıştır. Bu çalışmada, ÇKKV yöntemleri entegre bir yapıda kullanılarak
sağlık sektörü için İSG performans ölçüm yöntemi geliştirilmiştir. İlk olarak
İSG performans göstergeleri belirlenmiş ve AHP yöntemiyle
ağırlıklandırılmıştır. Performans indekslerinin elde edilmesi için, PROMETHEE
(Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations) ve GRA
(Grey Relational Analysis) yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. İki yöntemle elde edilen
performans indeksleri kıyaslanarak sonuçların tutarlılığı incelenmiştir. Ayrıca
İSG performans indeksleri ile hastanelerin diğer özellikleri (hastane tipi, ISO
9001 sertifikası, hastane kuruluş yılı, İSG birimi kuruluş yılı) arasındaki
korelasyonlar incelenmiştir. Geliştirilen yöntemin uygulaması İzmir ve
İstanbul’da bulunan 27 hastanede yapılmıştır.
