On Welfare Effects of Horizontal Mergers with Product Differentiation
Authors:   Universitat de les Elles Balears, Escrihuela Villar Marc
Published: September 2021

We use a non-spatial (Chamberlinian) product differentiation model to analyze the welfare effects of horizontal mergers with quantity competition. We argue that (i) mergers can be welfare enhancing if the degree of product differentiation increases after the merger; and, (ii) privately profitable mergers can also increase welfare. Consequently, in this paper we demonstrate that the degree of product differentiation is a crucial factor to assess the welfare effects of a merger.
Characterizing and Categorizing the Essence of Sport Consumption Behavior: A Thematic Analysis
Authors: Terason Sid
Published: September 2021

Sport consumer decision making is a complex process in which an individual evaluates, acquires, uses, or disposes of sport products or services. This qualitative study aimed to identify, understand, and describe the essential characteristics of sport products consumption behavior among professional athletes in Thailand. In-depth interviewing was carried out on 25 professional athlete consumers who responded to semi-structured questions regarding their sport goods consumption. Thematic analysis was performed on the transcripts to describe the essential characteristics of the consumption and to identify overarching topics. Following social constructionism, three themes (i.e., acquisition, use, and disposal) were analyzed and eight categories (i.e., economy concern, gender independence, internet reliance, inquisitive mind, visibility quest, brand focus, environmental concern, gifting preference) were induced. The findings gave insight into athlete consumers’ behavioral characteristics in term of their sport products consumption. Understanding these points contributes to gaining leverage in planning a domestic marketing strategy for this kind of goods.

Published: September 2021

Just like any other directly quantifiable natural or man-made disasters, contagious diseases have had long lasting effects on the economics and politics of the world throughout history. The COVID-19 pandemic, apparently, has led to a substantial upshot on the world economy, a complete tangible analysis of which still remains incomplete. In this light, it is essential to take a look back into the preceding pandemics and acquire knowledge on the subsequent socio-economic impacts. This research assesses some of the most infamous diseases and their impacts on economics through a systematic review of literature. Thereafter we evaluate the potential impacts of COVID-19 till date and probable ways of overcoming these impacts. In order to escape the vicious cycle of economic instability, it is essential to prevent scores of unemployment across various sectors through government support and policy interventions.

Objective: Chronic constrictive pericarditis (CCP) is a rare entity responsible of diastolic heart failure. The true prevalence is yet to be defined. The purpose of this study was to describe the clinical and para-clinical characteristics of patients with CCP, the therapeutic management, the outcomes and impacting factors. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive study from 2017 to 2020 including 9 patients hospitalized for CCP in our cardiovascular surgery department. Results: The mean age was of 32.6 years. Majority were men (n=7). Dyspnea was the most common sign. Peripheral signs were dominated by signs of right heart failure. Cardiac ultrasonography showed pericardial thickening and calcifications with Doppler adiastolic signs in 90% of cases. Thoracic CT was performed in 7 patients, cardiac MRI in one patient, showing calcifications and measuring the pericardial thickening. Cardiac catheterization performed in 6 patients showed the aspect of Dip plateau. Tuberculosis etiology was retained in 55.6%; post-radiation origin in one patient and 33.4 % of cases were idiopathic. All of patients benefited from subtotal pericardiectomy with good results in the medium and long term. Two deaths occurred, the first patient died following multi-visceral failure, the second died 3 years later from neoplasia. Conclusion: The CCP is a rare condition with poor prognosis. The diagnosis should be raised when there are signs of right heart failure associated with signs of hemodynamic adiastolia. The echocardiography, with computed tomography or cardiac MRI and especially cardiac catheterization confirm the diagnosis and also etiological orientation. Tuberculosis and idiopathic etiologies were the most common at our country. Medical treatment options are limited. Pericardiectomy remains the only radical treatment with good results in immediate, medium and long term.

Authors: Tariq Faiza , Amad Muhammad , Lingjie Li
Published: September 2021

Viewing dark triad as a positive personality trait, the researchers intend to explore the constructive use of impression management with regard to career success based on structural holes theory, paying particular attention to social capital and network benefits as sequential mediators between impression management and career success. A systematic literature review was conducted comprising published research studies on the chosen variables of interest. The researchers made use of several websites and links, like Google Scholar, PsychINFO, ResearchGate, and Web of Science. The systematic research was conducted to identify the desired variables and review was summarized from 2000 to 2020. Considering the past literature, it was proposed that impression management improves social capital that further leads to network benefits, thus, contributing to career success, whereas, the dark triad strengthens the relationship between impression management and social capital.  In last section, potential areas for future research in the context of impression management and dark triad are identified and a research agenda is put forward for the potential researchers. In future, researchers may benefit from the proposed conceptual model and can conduct a longitudinal quantitative research study considering the variables studied.

Published: September 2021

Smoke is one of the air pollutions that is very detrimental to the health of both the smoker himself and others around him. Inhaling other people's smoke is even more dangerous than inhaling your own smoke. Even the dangers that must be borne by passive smokers are three times greater than the dangers of active smokers. Smoke is also very detrimental to the health of patients in hospitals, especially patients who suffer from asthma. For people with asthma who have problems in the respiratory tract, asthma can recur at any time due to inhaling smoke. This research will develop a smart room that can detect smoke to maintain and protect the room from smoke that interferes with health. The tool to be developed uses an MQ2 sensor, LCD, exhaust fan, buzzer, and Arduino Uno microcontroller. Where an MQ2 sensor is needed to detect smoke around it, an LCD is needed to display the percentage of smoke, a microcontroller as a controller for all components, a buzzer is used as an alarm when the smoke level in the room is unhealthy, and the exhaust fan functions as a sucker for dirty air so that the smoke level in the room can be reduced.

Authors: Khairina Nurul , Harahap Muhammad Khoiruddin
Published: September 2021

In today's era, technology is growing rapidly, many of the latest technologies are in great demand by the Indonesian people, one of which is social media. Various social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, have become very popular applications for various ages, including teenagers, adults, and the elderly. Social media has a positive impact that can help people convey the latest information through posts on their respective accounts. Social media can disseminate information in a short time, this is why social media is an interesting application to research. The problem of road traffic congestion is strongly influenced by the number of vehicles that pass every day. A large number of private vehicles and public vehicles that pass greatly confuses the atmosphere of highway traffic. Congestion often occurs during working hours. Road congestion also often occurs when an unwanted incident occurs. Sentiment analysis algorithms and data mining algorithms can be combined to find information on traffic jams through social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media. The results show that sentiment analysis methods and data mining algorithms can be used to find information about current traffic jams through social media. The conclusion from this literature study can be seen that the K-Nearest Neighbor data mining algorithm is the best choice to overcome road traffic congestion, which will then be further developed in the form of highway traffic management modeling.

Published: September 2021

El tratamiento de endodoncia en dientes permanentes jóvenes que han sufrido un episodio de trauma dental era desalentador hasta hace unas épocas. La revascularización, se ha posicionado como una opción de tratamiento que tienen aquellos dientes con raíces inmaduras porque favorece el desarrollo radicular y el posterior cierre apical. El objetivo fue describir el tratamiento de revascularización en un incisivo central permanente no vital post traumatismo dental. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de sexo femenino, de 08 años de edad, con antecedentes de traumatismo dental, en sector antero superior, incisivo central permanente con formación radicular incompleta y con ausencia de vitalidad pulpar; se realizó el tratamiento de revascularización pulpar utilizando pasta antibiótica 3Mix – MP para la desinfección del conducto radicular. Se realizaron controles clínicos y radiográficos para evaluar la ausencia de sintomatología y el desarrollo radicular, a los 14 meses se observó aumento del grosor y longitud radicular y cierre apical. Se concluyó que la revascularización es una opción de tratamiento que permite un desarrollo radicular en sentido longitudinal y un engrosamiento de las paredes del conducto radicular con un posterior cierre apical, disminuyendo el riesgo de fractura que pudiera sufrir.
Metodologías innovadoras sobre maltrato infantil para una formación integral de los futuros odontólogos Iberoamericanos. Revisión bibliográfica.
Authors: Gutierrez Vigo Noemi , Leyda Menéndez. Dra. Ana María , González  Galván Fátima , Gavara Navarro Dra. María José
Published: September 2021

Según la Organización Mundial de la Salud, los odontólogos tienen un papel fundamental en el diagnóstico y la denuncia de posibles casos de maltrato infantil. Además, en la mayoría de los países, se han ido implementando regulaciones legales para la protección infantil que exigen a los profesionales de salud incluyendo a los odontólogos, informar de cualquier sospecha justificada, sin embargo el porcentaje de profesionales de la salud oral que lo hacen no es consecuente con las cifras anuales publicadas sobre este grave problema social, indicando muchas veces como principal razón un déficit en el  entrenamiento académico durante los estudios universitarios de Odontología. En otros casos, la formación académica recibida parece mejorar los conocimientos teóricos sobre el tema, pero no fortalece la confianza de los odontólogos para reconocer un posible caso, y definir la ruta de atención al menor posible víctima de malos tratos.

Actualmente, las facultades de Odontología han fortalecido sus  procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la práctica clínica. Este estudio realizó una revisión de la literatura sobre las nuevas metodologías de aprendizaje que pueden colaborar a mejorar la formación, capacitación y compromiso de los  estudiantes de Odontología en relación al maltrato infantil planteando una propuesta docente al respecto.

Published: September 2021

Definida como uma concentração súmade de bilirrubina, a hiperbilirrubemia é uma condição rara e pode ser causada por qualquer fator que eleve a carga de bilirrubina a ser metabolizada pelo fígado. Assim, a bilirrubina é distribuída através de tecidos corporais e se acumula em tecidos duros, mesmo nos dentes primários. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso clínico sobre o impacto severo da hiperbilirrubemia nos dentes primários, e suas manifestações orais na primeira infância, tais como: dentes esverdeados. Paciente do sexo masculino, de 3 anos e 8 meses, procurou clínica odontológica para avaliação de "manchas verdes nos dentes". No histórico médico observou-se que a criança nasceu prematura e teve complicações pós-parto que evoluíram para sepse, e devido ao uso de vários medicamentos, desenvolveram um quadro de hiperbilirrubemia. O exame clínico odontológico mostrou a presença de manchas verdes nos 20 dentes primários, ausência de lesão na cavidade, gengivas saudáveis e boa condição de higiene bucal. Conclui-se que os altos níveis de bilirrubina desenvolvidos pela criança prematura associada à sepse podem levar à pigmentação verde (coloração intrínseca) nos dentes primários e até mesmo ao envolvimento de dentes permanentes. Portanto, o conhecimento do histórico médico da criança desde o nascimento é relevante para o estabelecimento do diagnóstico e prognóstico de alterações dentárias.

Fueron incluidos en el estudio aquellos que presentaban incisivos con al menos tres cuartas partes de la corona en erupción y en condiciones de ser examinados (sin aparatología ortodontica, fractura, lesión cariosa o restauración extensa, n = 223). Dos evaluadores, previamente capacitados utilizaron los criterios clínicos del “FDI World Dental Federation” para el diagnóstico de DDE, a través de proyección de imágenes de fotografías de los incisivos. Análisis descriptivo y test de Chi-cuadrado. 1728 dientes se clasificaron de acuerdo a la presencia de DDE. La prevalencia de DDE fue del 34,1% para los escolares, siendo que 10,3% de los dientes examinados presentaron algún tipo de DDE. La prevalencia de las diferentes alteraciones en los incisivos examinados fueron: opacidad difusa (6,6%), opacidad demarcada (3,4%) e hipoplasia (0,4%) y las clasificaciones mas frecuentes fueron la opacidad difusa lineal (3,7% ), seguido por opacidad blanca demarcada (3%) y opacidad difusa irregular (2,8%). Hubo una asociación estadísticamente significativa (p <0,001) entre la presencia de DDE y la arcada dentaria, siendo los incisivos superiores más afectados. Los incisivos centrales fueron estadísticamente más afectados (p <0,001) que los laterales. Los incisivos inferiores mostraron una prevalencia similar de DDE entre sí. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en la prevalencia de DDE en función del género y el lado del diente. Se concluye que la presencia de DDE en los incisivos permanentes de los escolares en el sur de Brasil fue alta, es importante que el cirujano dentista sea capaz de diagnosticar e identificar los posibles factores etiológicos.

Esas especificidades responden a las distintas coyunturas sociales, económicas, culturales, políticas y administrativas de cada pais.
Se por un lado reconocer esa rica diversidad permitirá la formulación de propuestas que atiendan las demandas locales con mayor eficiencia y eficacia, por otro lado, identificar los desafíos semejantes y encontrar los puntos de confluencia en nuestra practica permitirá la formulación de propuestas integradoras.
Las experiencias relatadas indican que las estrategias de atención materno-infantil exigen avances conceptuales, los cuales emergieran de la profunda y constante reflexión sobre el papel de la odontología en el campo de la promoción y educación en salud, asistencia y formación de recursos humanos para el abordaje transdisciplinar para ese grupo poblacional.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a dificuldade e o conhecimento do produtor rural em relação aos dejetos suínos. Para isso, foram realizadas visitas em 20 propriedades rurais com produção de suínos (até 3000 cb) e aplicado um formulário com perguntas objetivas. Após a tabulação dos dados, concluiu-se que 55% dos produtores utilizam esterqueiras para o tratamento dos dejetos e 45% utiliza biodigestores na propriedade. Utilizando a Tabela ANOVA, pode-se concluir que a tecnologia de tratamento utilizada independe do número dos suínos. Concluiu-se também que, os produtores rurais não possuem informação suficiente acerca da destinação mais adequada dos dejetos suínos e que ferramentas de baixo custo podem auxiliar nessa na tomada de decisão.Palavras-chave: Produtor rural, dejetos suínos, tomada de decisão.

Published: September 2021

This study aimed to investigate the impact of monetary policy using Islamic or non-Islamic money supply on FDI in Jordan. Using time series analysis of selected variables during the period 1980 until 2018 using the ARDL model. The objective achieved the appropriate statistical tests such as data stability and co-integration tests have been used. The variables analyzed include the money supply (M2), the Islamic money supply (IMS), the export (EXP), Government Expenditure (GOV), inflation rate (INR), The gross domestic product (GDP) as independent variables. The dependant variable is the foreign direct investment (FDI). This study results in a long-term and short-term statistically significant correlation between the money supply (M2), the Islamic money supply (IMS) and FDI. The Islamic money supply (IMS) has a positive impact and the money supply (M2) has a negative impact on the FDI. The study recommended; the Jordanian government must implement a targeted Islamic monetary policy to attract foreign direct investment in the Jordanian economy. Provide an appropriate environment for investment and to remove the obstacles to investment in general, in order to attract the capital of Jordanians working abroad for domestic investment, as well as for foreign investments.
Modelling and performance analysis of doubly fed induction generator wind farm

Published: September 2021

Power generation from renewable sources like wind and sun have increased substantially owing to various challenges such as government regulations, environmental pollution and depletion of non-renewable energy sources over the past few decades. Of all renewable energy sources, wind appears to be the foremost of choice due to economies of scale. Due the intermittent nature of wind, the increase in the penetration of wind power to the grid gives rise to several challenges in which power quality is the most critical. The mitigation of power quality challenges to grid-connected wind energy systems and other renewable energy plants led to the development of the renewable energy grid code. This research focuses on voltage quality as one of the power quality issues affecting connection of renewable energy plants to the grid. This research models and performs analysis of a grid-connected doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind farm. Using the IEEE 9 bus system as a base case for the study, the modelled wind farm is then integrated into the base case. Steady state performance and performance during faults are analyzed using load flow study and transient stability studies respectively. The load flow study is carried out to comparatively evaluate the steady state stability of the base case and the wind farm integrated network with respect to the NRS 048 South Africa standard. The transient stability study is carried out on the wind farm integrated network with compliance to the South Africa renewable energy grid code (SAREGC) which allows the wind farm to reduce active power production during a continuous low voltage event below 85% at the point of common coupling. This work compensates the wind farm with a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) to keep the voltage at the point of common coupling above the set point, thereby keeping the wind farm connected to the grid and supplying maximum active power during a low voltage event. The results show that the static synchronous compensator allows the wind farm ride through a low voltage event without disconnection and reduction in active power supply and the wind farm increases the transient stability of the network.
Reducing material waste with the application of Building Information Modelling (BIM)
Authors:   , Mall Ayesha
Published: September 2021

Every year approximately 13 million tonnes of unused materials go to waste from construction sites. Construction professionals should strive to reduce wastage through the principle of right-first-time. Material waste directly affects the profitability of the contractor and it is a measure of competency and competitive advantage. The construction has a great influence on several industries by procuring products, as well as by providing products to other industries, therefore, by reducing waste there could be great cost savings to the construction industry. The Building Information Modelling (BIM) tool can be used in a construction of a project to motivate the design, construction, and operation of a project from start to finish. Therefore, the 3D BIM model can assist the construction industry in reducing material waste. The aim of this study is to identify the main causes of waste in the South African construction industry and develop a flow chart through the application of BIM to reduce waste. The objectives of the study include the identification of causes and sources of material waste on construction and the use of BIM to aid in waste minimisation. The tools used for data collection included questionnaires and site observations. The sample population for data collection included architects, project managers, quantity surveyors, and engineers. A programme called Statistical package for social scientists (SPSS) was employed to analyse the data. Mean score rankings, factor analysis, and Cronbach alpha test were adopted for data analysis. The structured questionnaire indicated whether construction professionals in South Africa have sufficient knowledge of BIM. Key research findings indicate that BIM has the ability to assist in reducing material waste. BIM enhances practices such as collaboration, detailing, visualisation and simulation, clash detection and improved communication. BIM has a strong influence on the reduction of waste material. BIM has the potential to address the causes of waste, relative to design changes, ineffective coordination and communication, and improvements towards waste minimisation through the construction stage of a project. The results from the data analysis, revealed that the most common contribution to waste on a construction site included material handling and storage factors, design and documentation factors, procurement factors, site management and practice factors and operation factors. The use of the developed flow chart on the application of BIM in the delivery of a project will minimize material waste. The model developed is recommended to be adopted for use in the South African construction industry for the delivery of projects with minimal wastage costs.
Optimum design of steel structures using evolutionary algorithms
Authors:   , Dolwana Zolisa
Published: September 2021

The subject of this thesis is optimization of steel structures using evolutionary algorithms. Heuristic algorithms are used and compared for the best possible results both in two dimen-sional and three dimensional structures. The topology, shape and sizing of the optimization problem has been formulated based on practical real life problems. The design has to produce best results without violating the stress and displacement constraints. The design constraints satisfy the demands of steel material properties and the selected proﬁles. Structural steel is discussed in detail on how they can be designed, and manufactured in both two dimensions (2-D) and three dimensions (3-D) to carry required loads and provide adequate rigidity. These types of structures are commonly found in the construction of build-ings, bridges, transmission line towers, industrial sheds, automotive vehicles and ships etc. Steel exhibits desirable physical properties that make it one of the most versatile structural materials in use. Its great strength, uniformity, light weight, ease of use, and many other de-sirable properties makes it the material of choice for numerous structures such as steel bridges, high rise buildings, towers, and other structures. Steel structures are formed with a speciﬁc shape following certain standards of chemical composition and strength. During the course of construction steel can be joined by welding or bolting methods. The structural steel problem is solved using population based methods, namely, the genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO) and big bang - big crunch (BB-BC). The quality of results produced using these heuristic methods has been studied in several problems. The present study demonstrates how progress in modern evolutionary algorithms has revolu-tionized design optimization of engineering structures. The performance of an evolutionary algorithm called the big bang - big crunch algorithm is shown by example of the steel trusses where the minimum possible weight was determined subjected to stress and displacement constraints.
