Respons Konstitusional Larangan Calon Anggota Dewan Perwakilan Daerah sebagai Pengurus Partai Politik
Authors: Faiz Pan Mohamad , Winata Muhammad Reza
Published: October 2019

Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK) Nomor 30/PUU-XVI/2018 bertanggal 23 Juli 2018 menjadi salah satu putusan penting bagi desain lembaga perwakilan di Indonesia. Dalam Putusan tersebut, MK menyatakan bahwa pengurus partai politik dilarang menjadi calon anggota Dewan Perwakilan Daerah. Namun, tindak lanjut dari Putusan ini memicu polemik ketatanegaraan. Sebab, terjadi kontradiksi mengenai waktu pemberlakuan larangan tersebut akibat adanya perbedaan pemaknaan terhadap Putusan MK di dalam Putusan MA Nomor 64/P/HUM/2018, Putusan PTUN Nomor 242/G/SPPU/2018/PTUN-JKT, dan Putusan Bawaslu Nomor 008/LP/PL/ADM/RI/00/XII/2018. MK secara eksplisit menyatakan bahwa Putusannya berlaku sejak Pemilu 2019. Akan tetapi, Putusan MA, Putusan PTUN, dan Putusan Bawaslu menyatakan larangan tersebut berlaku setelah Pemilu 2019. Artikel ini mengkaji kontradiksi Putusan-Putusan tersebut dengan menggunakan tiga pisau analisis, yaitu: (1) finalitas putusan; (2) respons terhadap putusan; dan (3) validitas atau keberlakuan norma. Dengan menggunakan doktrin responsivitas terhadap putusan pengadilan dari Tom Ginsburg, artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa Keputusan KPU yang tetap kukuh untuk memberlakukan larangan bagi pengurus partai politik sebagai calon anggota DPD sejak Pemilu tahun 2019 sesungguhnya merupakan tindakan yang formal konstitusional karena telah mengikuti (comply) penafsiran konstitusional yang terkandung di dalam Putusan MK. Di lain sisi, tindakan KPU juga merupakan bentuk yang secara sekaligus mengabaikan (ignore) Putusan MA, Putusan PTUN, dan Putusan Bawaslu. Meskipun demikian, respons KPU tersebut dapat dibenarkan karena Putusan MK memiliki objek dan dasar pengujian lebih tinggi dalam hierarki peraturan perundang-undangan, sehingga memiliki validitas atau keberlakuan hukum yang lebih tinggi pula dibandingkan dengan Putusan MA, Putusan PTUN, atau Putusan Bawaslu. Dengan demikian, tindakan KPU yang konsisten mengikuti Putusan MK tersebut merupakan respons konstitusional yang memiliki justifikasi hukum dan konstitusi.
The Social Significance of Gender Codes in Current Web Design
Authors: Becker Katja , Herling Claudia
Published: October 2019

The article highlights gender codes in design, particularly in web design, by means of current examples. Different aspects of gender-specific design are looked at in detail and their inherent problems discussed: on the one hand the development of a special solution (gender-specific for women), on the other hand, web design with reduced functionality and simplification of information (i.e. image representation) which sometimes even leads to a negation of technology. The article illustrates that gender codes and stereotypical role models can be embodied on different design levels of web design (use and artefact): in structure/navigation, in creative elements by the use of shape, colour and imagery and on a textual level. These design decisions have an impact on the power of users to act, their individual gender identity and the structural gender identity/social perception of gender. The article demonstrates that gender codes in current web design are very present and aims to sensitize the topic.
Erinnerungskultur in Vietnam
Authors: Vuong Thu-Trang
Published: October 2019

Die neuzeitliche Geschichte von Vietnam wurde von Kolonialismus und Invasion markiert. Von der Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts war Vietnam eine französische Kolonie. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurden die Vietnamesische Bevölkerung von drei Machte unterdrückt: von der Feudalherrschaft (die damals nur als Strohmann regelt und keine mehr Souveränität hatte), von den japanischen faschisten Truppen, und von der französischen kolonialen Verwaltung (die wegen der Vichy-Regime in Frankreich auch an den japanischen faschisten eine Annäherung machte). Obwohl die Vietnamesen selbst gegen der japanische Armee kämpften und 1945 die Unabhängigkeit erklärten, kehrten die Franzosen nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zu Vietnam zurück, französische Souveränität zu verlangen.
Magnitudes Count in Math Education – an Interdisciplinary View
Authors: Leibovich-Raveh Tali , Greg Simon
Published: October 2019

How children learn basic skills such as discriminating between different quantities and counting? According to the dominant Approximate Number System (ANS) theory,humans are born with the ability to discriminate between discrete quantities (i.e.,numbers). Accordingly, early math curriculum should focus on discrete quantities. This theory guides many early-math curricula worldwide. We provide a review of empirical evidence challenging the ANS theory and introduced a more recent theoretical framework, the Approximate Magnitude System (AMS). This theory suggests that continuous magnitudes (such as area, density, volume, etc.) are more intuitive and acquired earlier then the ability to understand numbers. Using examples from early math education practices, we emphasize and demonstrate the potential benefits of taking the AMS approach and using magnitudes as a scaffolding for understanding numbers and more complex math concepts. Insights gained from studies that combines both cognitive psychology and educational research, with the active participation and contribution of early-math teachers, may be of assistance to both cognitive psychologists, interested in how math abilities develop, and to educators, looking to improve math curriculum. We hope that this article will inspire others to consider research in this direction and start a productive discussion on the role of continuous magnitudes in teaching math.
The influence of cell size on the mechanical properties of nanocellular PMMA
Authors: Van Loock Frederik
Published: October 2019

Solid-state foaming experiments are conducted on three grades of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Nanocellular PMMA foams are manufactured with an average cell size ranging from 20 nm to 84 nm and a relative density between 0.37 and 0.5. For benchmarking purposes, additional microcellular PMMA foams with an average cell size close to 1 ìm and relative density close to that of the nanocellular foams are manufactured. Uniaxial compression tests and single edge notch bend tests are conducted on the PMMA foams. The measured Young's modulus and yield strength of the PMMA foams are independent of cell size whereas the fracture toughness of the PMMA foam increases with decreasing average cell size from the micron range to the nanometer range.

Avatars and Embodied Agents in Experimental Information Systems Research: A Systematic Review and Conceptual Framework
Authors: Aljaroodi Hussain M. , Adam Marc T. P. , Chiong Raymond , Teubner Timm
Published: October 2019

Computerised graphical representations of human users and computer agents, known as avatars and embodied agents, have been extensively explored and investigated in Information Systems (IS) research and practice. Such digital representations can be employed in either 2D or 3D. In order to facilitate research on user and agent representations and their applications in IS, we conduct a systematic literature review and establish the current state of research on humans’ perceptions and behaviours when interacting with avatars and embodied agents. Our findings are based on an analysis of 90 articles published in top outlets in the IS field. This review identifies 1) different types of avatar and embodied agent-mediated interactions with users, 2) current application domains of such representations, 3) their dimensionality, 4) affected psychological constructs, and 5) practical considerations for the design of such digital representations. Finally, we discuss limitations of current research and, based on these, directions for future work.
Oral Malodor Knowledge Among Myanmar Dental Students and Young Dentists
Authors: Aung Ei Ei , Kawaguchi Yoko , Oshiro Akiko , Zaitsu Takashi
Published: October 2019

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of Myanmar dental students and young dentists regarding the diagnosis and treatment of oral malodor.
Method: Data were collected from a sample of 120 dental students from the University of Dental Medicine and 21 young dentists in Yangon, Myanmar. They were instructed to answer the structural questionnaires regarding oral malodor knowledge, including the clinical perspective. The content of the questionnaire items ranged from the etiology of oral malodor to treatment regimen.
Results: Only 8.5% in the dental students’ group and 14.3% in young dentists’ group correctly answered that tongue coating is the most frequent source of oral malodor when the patients had no severe dental and periodontal problems. Nearly half of the subjects reported that Volatile Sulphur Compounds (VSCs) are related to malodor, but only 18.4% correctly answered the question related to the vulnerable condition of VSCs production. And, around 60% of the subjects didn’t know the reliable diagnostic tools for malodor and more than half of the subjects didn’t know clearly about the oral malodor classifications. Regarding the oral malodor treatment, over 90% of the subjects responded tongue cleaning is essential to reduce oral malodor and 97.2% of the subjects answered that they will provide tooth brushing instructions to oral malodor patients. But, over 70% of the subjects incorrectly recommended saline mouthwash for malodor treatment. Overall, both the dental students and young dentists had less knowledge of oral malodor and most of them responded that they need further knowledge on oral malodor diagnosis and treatment.
Conclusion: This study showed that the knowledge of Myanmar dental students and young dentists on oral malodor was a scare. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that dental schools are necessary to give greater emphasis on etiology, diagnosis, and proper treatment for oral malodor.

Reduced Acoustic Startle Response and Prepulse Inhibition in the Tg4-42 Model of Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Sichler Marius E. , Löw Maximilian J. , Schleicher Eva M. , Bayer Thomas A. , Bouter Yvonne
Published: October 2019

Sensorimotor deficits have been described in several neuropsychiatric disorders including Alzheimer’s disease. The aim of the present study was to evaluate possible sensorimotor gating deficits in the Tg4-42 mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease using the prepulse inhibition task (PPI). Previous studies indicated that the hippocampus is essentially involved in the regulation of PPI. We analyzed 7-month-old homozygous Tg4-42 mice as mice at this age display severe neuron loss especially in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. Our results revealed a reduced startle response and PPI in Tg4-42 mice. The observed deficits in startle response and PPI are likely due to altered sensory processing abilities rather than hearing deficits as Tg4-42 displayed intact hearing in the fear conditioning task. The present study demonstrates for the first time that sensorimotor gating is impaired in Tg4-42 mice. Analyzing startle response as well as the PPI may offer valuable measurements to assess the efficacy of therapeutic strategies in the future in this Alzheimer’s disease model.
A Novel De Novo Heterozygous SCN4a Mutation Causing Congenital Myopathy, Myotonia and Multiple Congenital Anomalies
Authors: Waldrop Megan , Amornvit Jakkrit , Pierson Christopher R. , Boue Daniel R. , Sahenk Zarife
Published: October 2019

Background:

The phenotypic spectrum of the skeletal muscle voltage-gated sodium channel gene ( SCN4A) mutations has been expanding dramatically with advancements in genetic testing. Previously only known to cause autosomal dominant myotonia or periodic paralysis, now recessive mutations have been found causing congenital myopathies and congenital myasthenic syndromes.

Case presentation:

A 27-year-old woman who was born with Arnold-Chiari malformation, hydrocephalus, high-arched palate, bilateral hip dysplasia, and severe scoliosis presented for evaluation of episodic muscle stiffness and weakness. Electrodiagnostic studies revealed myopathy and widespread myotonia. Muscle histopathology showed marked fiber size variability, type I fiber predominance with minimal scattered necrosis and regeneration which was typical of a congenital myopathy with an additional finding of a lobulated structural pattern in type I fibers. Sequential individual gene testing revealed a novel de novo heterozygous c.2386 C > G, p.Leu796Val missense mutation in the SCN4A gene.

Discussion:

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a dominant, heterozygous mutation in SCN4A causing a complex phenotype of congenital myopathy and myotonia with multiple congenital anomalies and unique muscle pathology findings. This case is another addition to the ever expanding phenotype of SCN4A mutations.
The Appendix in Parkinson’s Disease: From Vestigial Remnant to Vital Organ?
Authors: Killinger Bryan , Labrie Viviane
Published: October 2019

Parkinson’s disease (PD) has long been considered a brain disease, but studies now point to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract as a potential starting point for PD. In particular, the human vermiform appendix has been implicated in PD. The appendix is a tissue rich in immune cells, serving as part of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue and as a storehouse for the gut microbiome. The functions of the appendix converge with recent evidence demonstrating that gut inflammation and shifts in the microbiome are linked to PD. Some epidemiological studies have linked removal of the appendix to lowered PD risk, though there is controversy among these associations. What is apparent is that there is an abundance of aggregated forms of α-synuclein in the appendix relevant to PD pathology. α-Synuclein pathology is thought to propagate from gut to brain via the vagus nerve, which innervates GI tract locations, including the appendix. Remarkably, α-synuclein aggregates in the appendix occur not only in PD patients, but are also present in healthy individuals. This has led to the proposal that in the appendix α-synuclein aggregates are not unique to PD. Moreover, the molecular events leading to PD and the mechanisms by which α-synuclein aggregates transfers from gut to brain may be identifiable in the human appendix. The influence of the appendix on GI inflammation, autoimmunity, microbiome storage, and the lymphatic system may be yet unexplored mechanisms by which the appendix contributes to PD. Overall, the appendix represents a promising tissue site to advance our understanding of PD pathobiology.
A randomized controlled trial on the use of magnesium sulfate and melatonin in neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy
Authors: El Farargy M.S. , Soliman N.A.
Published: October 2019

BACKGROUND:

Birth asphyxia is a leading case of neonatal morbidity and mortality especially in developing countries. Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) attributed to asphyxia can be ameliorated with several remedies, although full recovery is currently not feasible. The aim of this trial on infants with HIE who are receiving melatonin therapy, is to assess the added effect of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) on the expression of S100-B, a marker of brain injury.

METHODS:

This study is a randomized controlled trial on neonates with moderate HIE (Sarnat grade II). Infants were randomized into 2 groups; group1 who received MgSO4 and melatonin; and group 2 who received melatonin only. Serum concentrations of S100-B were measured at baseline, and at days 2 and 6 of therapy.

RESULTS:

The study included 60 neonates of them 30 infants in group 1 and 30 infants in group 2. S100-B did not differ between groups 1 and 2 at enrollment (median = 13.5 vs 13.2, p = 0.381). However, group 1 had lower concentrations of S100-B at 2 days (median = 8 vs 12, p = 0.001) and at 6 days (median = 3 vs 10.5, p < 0.001), respectively. Compared to baseline, S100-B decreased in in group 2 at day 6 (13.2 vs 10.5, p = 0.011) but did not decrease at day 2 (13.2 vs 12, p = 0.478).

CONCLUSIONS:

MgSO4 may have an added effect for the reduction in brain injury in infants with HIE who are receiving melatonin.
Risk factors for the development and progression of retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants in Indonesia
Authors: Siswanto J.E. , Ronoatmodjo S. , Adisasmita A. , Soemantri A. , Sitorus R.S. , Sauer P.J.J.
Published: October 2019

BACKGROUND:

Risk factors other than supplemental oxygen might play a role in the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). In Indonesia ROP occurs in infants up to 34 weeks and 2000 g. Risk factors for the development of ROP in Indonesian NICUs have not been evaluated. Our aim was to identify other risk factors than the use of oxygen in the development and progression of ROP in preterm infants in Indonesia.

METHODOLOGY:

Data on 98 preterm infants with ROP and 77 controls were collected from four NICUs and two eye centers in Jakarta, Indonesia, between 2009 and 2014. We used multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine the relationship between infants and environmental variables and the development and progression of ROP. We obtained variables for ROP severity by using Cox regression analysis.

RESULTS:

Factors associated with the development of ROP were birthweight (BWt), intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), exchange transfusion, duration of oxygen supplementation, minimum saturation monitor setting, and socioeconomic factors. Regarding the progression, gestational age (GA), out-born, duration of supplemental oxygen, minimum saturation monitor setting, and socioeconomic factors were identified as risk factors.

CONCLUSION:

The use and control of supplemental oxygen are the main risk factors for the development and progression of ROP in preterms in Indonesia. Additionally, we confirm that GA, BWt, and IUGR are risk factors. Moreover, we found exchange transfusion to be a risk factor, and we found a lower rate of ROP in infants from a lower socioeconomic background. These risk factors apply to infants with a GA up to 34 weeks and a BWt up to 2000 g.
Bilateral motor priming for post stroke upper extremity hemiparesis: A randomized pilot study
Authors: Stoykov Mary Ellen , King Erin , David Fabian J. , Vatinno Amanda , Fogg Louis , Corcos Daniel M.
Published: October 2019

Background:

Bilateral priming, device assisted bilateral symmetrical wrist flexion/extension, is a noninvasive neuromodulation technique that can be used in the clinic.

Objective:

We examined the additive effect of bilateral motor priming and task specific training in individuals with severe upper limb hemiparesis.

Methods:

This is a parallel assignment, single-masked, randomized exploratory pilot study with three timepoints (pre-/post-intervention and follow up). Participants received either bilateral motor priming or health care education followed by task specific training. Sixteen participants who were at least 6 months post-stroke and had a Fugl Meyer Upper Extremity (FMUE) score between 23 and 38 were randomized. Our primary and secondary measures were Chedoke Arm & Hand Activity Index 9 (CAHAI-9) and the FMUE respectively. We determined changes in interhemispheric inhibition using transcranial magnetic stimulation. We hypothesized that improvement in the priming group would persist at follow up.

Results:

There was no between-group difference in the CAHAI. The improvement in the FMUE was significantly greater in the experimental group at follow up ( t = 2.241, p = 0.045).

Conclusions:

Both groups improved in the CAHAI. There was a significant between-group difference in the secondary outcome measure (FMUE) where the bilateral priming group had an average increase of 10 points from pre-intervention to follow up.
Effects of long-term vestibular rehabilitation therapy with vibrotactile sensory augmentation for people with unilateral vestibular disorders – A randomized preliminary study
Authors: Bao Tian , Klatt Brooke N. , Carender Wendy J. , Kinnaird Catherine , Alsubaie Saud , Whitney Susan L. , Sienko Kathleen H.
Published: October 2019

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:

This pilot study aimed to investigate the effects of incorporating vibrotactile sensory augmentation (SA) on balance performance among people with unilateral vestibular disorders (UVD).

METHODS:

Eight participants with UVD were recruited. Participants completed 18 balance training sessions across six weeks in a clinical setting. Four participants (68.1±7.5 yrs) were randomized to the experimental group (EG) and received trunk-based vibrotactile SA while performing the balance exercises, and four participants (63.1±11.3 yrs) were assigned to the control group (CG); CG participants completed the balance training without SA. Clinical and kinematic balance performance measures were collected before training; midway through training; and one week, one month, and six months after training.

RESULTS:

All participants, regardless of group, demonstrated improvements in a subset of the clinical or balance metrics immediately following completion of the balance training protocol. The EG showed significantly greater improvements than the CG for the Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale and postural stability during the two standing balance exercises with head movements. The EG also had larger improvements than the CG for the Sensory Organization Test (SOT), Mini Balance Evaluations Systems Test, Gait Speed Test, Dynamic Gait Index, Functional Gait Assessment, and vestibular reliance metric calculated based on the SOT.

CONCLUSIONS:

Incorporating vibrotactile SA into vestibular rehabilitation programs may lead to additional benefits that may be retained up to six months after training compared to training without vibrotactile SA. A larger study is warranted to demonstrate statistical significance between the groups.

Perception of Tax and Brevet tax in the Adjusted R Square Test of 0.114 means that the variable of interest in the taxation profession can be explained by the perception variable about tax and tax brevet of 11.4% or it can be said that the variable perception of tax and tax brevet can influence interest in the profession taxation of 11.4%.
Evaluating the applicability of a low-cost sensor for measuring PM2.5 concentration in Ho Chi Minh city, Viet Nam
Authors: Nguyen Chi Doan Thien , To Hien Thi
Published: October 2019

Introduction: Continuous monitoring provides real-time data which is helpful for measuring air quality; however, these systems are often very expensive, especially for developing countries such as Vietnam. The use of low-cost sensors for monitoring air pollution is a new approach in Vietnam and this study assesses the utility of low-cost, light-scattering-based, particulate sensors for measuring PM2.5 concentrations in Ho Chi Minh City.

Methods: The low-cost sensors were compared with both a Beta attenuation monitor (BAM) reference method and a gravimetric method during the rainy season period of October to December 2018.

Results: The results showed that there was a very strong correlation between two low-cost sensors (R = 0.97, slope = 1.0), and that the sensor precision varied from 0 to 21.4% with a mean of 3.1%. Both one-minute averaged data and one-hour averaged data showed similar correlations between sensors and BAM (R2 = 0.62 and 0.69, respectively), while 24-hour averaged data showed excellent agreement (R2 = 0.95, slope = 1.05). In addition, we also found a strong correlation between those instruments and a gravimetric method using 24-hour averaged data. A linear regression was used to calibrate the 24-hour averaged sensor data and, once calibrated, the bias dropped to zero.

Conclusion: These results show that low-cost sensors can be used for daily measurements of PM2.5 concentrations in Ho Chi Minh City. The effect of air conditions, such as temperature and humidity, should be conducted. Moreover, technical methods to improve time resolution of lowcost sensors need to be developed and applied in order to provide real-time measurements at an inexpensive cost.
Essays of a “comparatively progressive” economist (On the 150th birth anniversary of Vladimir Geleznoff)
Authors: Popov Viktor A.
Published: October 2019

Deep comprehension of the advanced economic theory, the talent of lecturer enforced by the outstanding working ability forwarded Vladimir Geleznoff scarcely at the end of his thirties to prepare the publication of “The essays of the political economy” (1898). The subsequent publishing success (8 editions in Russia, the 1918­-year edition in Germany) sufficiently demonstrates that Geleznoff well succeded in meeting the intellectual inquiry of the cross­road epoch of the Russian history and by that taking the worthful place in the history of economic thought in Russia. Being an acknowledged historian of science V. Geleznoff was the first and up to now one of the few to demonstrate the worldwide community of economists the theoretically saturated view of Russian economic thought in its most fruitful period (end of XIX — first quarter of XX century).
Factors for the effective functioning of the regional insurance markets in Russia
Authors: Prokopieva Evgenia L.
Published: October 2019

The article investigates the specifics of the functioning of the insurance market in Russia and the regions. Factors are structured and problems of regional development of insurance are revealed. The intensive growth of life insurance against the background of reduction of property types of insurance is revealed. The mechanism of mutual influence of economic and geographical features of development of the region and its insurance market is traced. It is shown that the development of the insurance business is influenced by the economic development of the region. In the applied aspect, the analysis is carried out in the context of federal districts. In particular, the comparison of GRP and insurance premiums is presented, the regional structure of insurance premiums by types of insurance is analyzed. It is revealed that the level of development of voluntary insurance dominates the insurance market of the Central federal district. The least developed market is the North Caucasus federal district, but other federal districts are characterized by extremely low rates of insurance premiums, payments and unstable level of payments. The regional problem is the lack of registered insurance entities in most regions. This entails the lack of differentiated policies of insurers in the regions and overestimation of the cost of insurance. This situation is due to the limited demand for voluntary insurance and related intermediary services. An obstacle to the development of insurance in the regions is the poor quality of insurance services, which is confirmed by the statistics of complaints of policyholders against the subjects of insurance business. In turn, the limited economic potential of regional insurance has a negative impact on the socio-economic development of the region, since enterprises and citizens do not receive full insurance coverage, and the regions do not have investment resources.

Flow characteristics of drag-reducing natural bamboo fiber suspensions with minimal environmental load
Authors: OGATA SATOSHI , KUBO TAKUYA
Published: October 2019

The reduction of pipe friction loss by adding drag-reducing agents has attracted attention as an aid to energy conservation. Drag-reducing agents induce drag reduction (DR) effects and should have a minimal environmental load, with natural resource-saving potential. This study demonstrates bamboo fiber as a drag-reducing agent that saves natural resources and has a low environmental load. Using pressure drop measurements, we report DR with suspensions of bamboo fibers with the
average diameter of 13.3 μm and aspect ratio of 98.7. The maximum DR obtained in this experiment is 43% at the concentration of 4000 ppm and pipe diameter of 30 mm; DR is affected by the Reynolds number, suspension concentration, and pipe diameter. In addition, the bamboo fibers can be easily removed from the suspensions by filtration.
We found that low-environmental-load bamboo fiber has DR effects like those of other fibers; its effects are greater than those of conventional synthetic fibers and wood pulp. Furthermore, it is resistant to mechanical degradation, recoverable, and recyclable. Therefore, DR effects can be selectively obtained by adding the fibers only when
DR is needed; the fibers can then be collected when DR is no longer necessary. This method might greatly expand the application range of DR agents. The results demonstrate the usefulness of bamboo fibers as DR additives.

ISO 9001 standartlar serisi piyasalarda giderek zorlaşan rekabet koşullarına cevaben doğmuştur ve tüketiciye uygun ürün sunmak için kalitenin planlanması, düzenlenmesi, yönlendirilmesi ve nihai olarak kontrol edilmesini içeren faaliyetler toplamını ifade etmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında ISO 9001:2008’den ISO 9001:2015’e güncelleme sonucunda ortaya çıkan farklılıklar açıklanmıştır. Bu farklılıkların işletmelerin bakış açısıyla kazanımlarının, eksikliklerinin ve etkilerinin tanımlanması çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda 14 soruluk form kullanılarak, Denizli Organize Sanayi Bölgesi’nde yer alan 9 işletme ile yarı yapılandırılmış mülakatlar yapılmıştır. Denizli OSB’de belgeye sahip işletmelerin gerçek sayısına ulaşmadaki zorluk, mülakat için işletme tarafından görevlendirilen personelin yetkin olmaması ve görevli personelin yetkin ancak yoğun çalışma koşulları nedeniyle çok kısıtlı zaman ayırması çalışmanın kısıtlarıdır. Sonuç olarak belgenin edinimi noktasında yönetimin, içselleştirilmesi noktasında ise çalışanların başrol oynadığı görülmüştür. İlaveten ISO 9001:2015 ile doğan farklılıklara yöneticilerin maliyet, çalışanların ise ek iş yükü getirme odaklı baktıkları gözlemlenmiştir.

Girişimciler üstlendikleri risklere karşın
yarattıkları değerler kapsamında akademik bakış açısıyla ele alınması gereken
birer fenomen konumundadır. Her bir girişimci adayı, çeşitli aşamalardan
geçerek farklı gerekçelerle işletmelerini kurmakta ve sürdürülebilirlik
bağlamında çaba göstermektedir. Girişimcilerin finansal araçlara olan
yatkınlıklarının işletmelerinde ulaşmak istedikleri amaçlara olan
yakınlıklarını etkilediği varsayılmaktadır. Finansal farkındalık algısı günümüz
rekabet ortamında bireylerin finansal araçlara erişiminden kullanım şekillerine
ve yatırım algısındaki çeşitliliğe kadar etki eden olguyu kapsamaktadır.
Sürekli gelişen ve değişim gösteren finansal sistemler ve araçlara olan
yatkınlık girişimciler için donanım sahibi olmayı zorunlu kılmaktadır. Bu
bağlamda, çalışmada girişimcilerin finansal farkındalık düzeyleri belirlenmek
istenmiştir. Ayrıca katılımcıların sosyo-demografik özellikleri ile finansal
farkındalık düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Araştırmada veriler
Uşak Ticaret ve Sanayi Odası’na kayıtlı işletme sahiplerinden elde edilmiştir. Bulgulara
göre, işletmelerin profesyonel yöneticilerden ziyade girişimcilerin kendileri
tarafından yönetildiği ve ortaklı yapıların oldukça düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Ayrıca
girişimcilik motivasyon unsurlarından ekonomik güç kazanma arzusu en önemi
unsur olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Girişimcilerin finansal farkındalık düzeyleri
ile yaş, eğitim ve baba mesleği değişkenleri arasında istatistiki olarak anlamlı
farklılıklar olduğu görülmüştür.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, müzelerin fiziksel çevresinin ziyaretçilerin müze
memnuniyeti ve davranışsal niyetleri (tavsiye etme ve tekrar ziyaret etme) üzerindeki
etkilerini incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, mevcut araştırma Burdur Müzesi’nde
yürütülmüş ve araştırmanın veri toplama aracı müzenin 237 ziyaretçisine
uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın kuramsal modeli kısmi en küçük kareler yapısal
eşitlik modellemesi (PLS-SEM) yoluyla analiz edilmiştir. Veri analizi
sonucunda; müzenin fiziksel çevresinin ziyaretçilerin müze memnuniyetini, müze
memnuniyetinin ise ziyaretçilerin müzeyi tekrar ziyaret etme ve müzeyi
başkalarına tavsiye etme niyetlerini anlamlı şekilde etkilediği belirlenmiştir.
Ancak, ziyaretçilerin müzeyi tekrar ziyaret etme ve müzeyi başkalarına tavsiye
etme niyetleri üzerinde fiziksel çevrenin doğrudan bir etkisi gözlenememiştir. Buna
karşın, fiziksel çevrenin müze memnuniyeti aracılığıyla davranışsal niyetler
üzerinde dolaylı bir etki sergilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
