An LP based approximate dynamic programming model to address airline overbooking under cancellation, refund and no-show
Authors: Soleymanifar Reza
Published: October 2018

In this paper we simultaneously address four constraints relevant to airline revenue management problem: flight cancellation, customer no-shows, overbooking, and refunding. We develop a linear program closely related to the dynamic program formulation of the problem, which we later use to approximate the optimal decision rule for rejecting or accepting customers. First, we give a novel proof that the optimal objective function of this linear program is always an upper bound for the dynamic program. Secondly, we construct a decision rule based on this linear program and prove that it is asymptotically optimal under certain circumstances. Finally, using Monte Carlo simulation, we demonstrate that, numerically, the result of the linear programming policy presented in this paper has a short distance to the upper bound of the optimal answer, which makes it a fairly good approximate answer to the intractable dynamic program.

Lean production and ergonomics: a synergy to improve productivity and working conditions
Authors: Oliveira Bruno , Alves A. C. , Carneiro P. , Ferreira A. C.
Published: October 2018

The markets globalization erased commercial boundaries and increased the competitiveness of companies all around the world. This competitiveness has forced companies to improve their processes and operations, as well as, their management relationships with suppliers and customers. Emerging from this progress, several needs led to the development of Lean Production (LP) – which proved to be effective in the waste reduction and efficient in providing production flexibility. Through its implementation, LP allows the increase of workers’ involvement, their safety and health. The main goal of this paper is to present how LP and Ergonomics improve not only the company productivity, but also the health and safety of the workers throughout continuous improvement processes. This was achieved in a project which purpose was to improve the consumables supply strategies, taking place in an electric mobility company. The implementation of LP tools in this industrial context resulted in improved productivity, reduced cost, enhanced and more efficient operations. This outcome was possible with a synergetic engagement of workers resulting in their ergonomic working conditions improvement.
A New Approach - Use of effectiveness and efficiency concepts in the identification of activities related to occupational safety management on motorways
Authors: Silva José Eduardo , Rodrigues Carlos
Published: October 2018

The need to improve the safety management in the maintenance and operational works on a motorway is a request that all the organizations demand to achieve better goals on safety and in the use of resources. The use of instruments linked to efficiency and effectiveness is one possible solution to this problem. The objective of the present investigation is to prove that it is possible to identify the main activities contained in the A area of an ABC curve and linked to the Pareto´s concepts, defining this way the 20% most dangerous maintenance and operational activities on motorway works. The methodology used was a DELPHI panel formed by experts from different areas linked to safety at work on motorways. The statistic treatment was made through the informatic program IBM SPSS Statistics 24. The results show that it is possible to identify 36 main activities in maintenance and operational works, being relevant the activities related to emergency response, safety guards, expansion joints, provisional signaling and the access to working stations in toll areas. The conclusions of the study reveal that these 36 activities represent the 20% most dangerous activities in maintenance and operational works on a motorway, and show that besides the risks of the work itself, there are four crucial traffic factors to develop a correct risk analysis: weather conditions, traffic characteristics, pavement characteristics and motorway morphologic type.
Working hours organization impact mechanism upon work-related accidents on microeconomic level
Authors: Titopoulou M. , Titopoulos E. , Staykova J.
Published: October 2018

Work organizations rapidly change, triggering the need for a dynamic approach regarding the occupational health and safety and accident prevention. The objective of this research is to examine the influence of the factor 'organisation of the working time' upon the occupational accidents in enterprises as well as to suggest a model of an impact mechanism of working time organization on the occurrence and prevention of accidents/near accidents, using a representative Bulgarian sample. The research is based on a survey conducted in 2016 among 410 employees (52.9% women; 47.1% men) from all economic sectors. Statistical processing and analysis are performed by SPSS/PSPP and statistical modeling by EViews/Gretl. Results show that approximately every fifth employee works longer than the standard weekly occupation of 40 hours; 17.1% of all suffered work-related accident(s); 36.2% work overtime and 41.1% recognize the presence of work-related health problems (most common are total fatigue, back pain, stress and headache). Among those respondents claiming to have work-related health problems, accidents at work occur most frequently when working over 40 h/week. The suggested 3-stage impact mechanism of the working time organization on the occurrence and prevention of occupational accidents allows us to track the chain effects of existing practices in enterprises with regard to working time organization, employees' well-being and the occurrence of work accidents. Prevention strategies should consider changes in scheduling practices, job redesign, and health protection programmes.
Fatigue assessment through non-invasive physiological monitoring in military performance: protocol for a systematic review
Authors: Bustos Sandoval Lidia Denisse , Guedes J. C. C. , Torres Costa J.
Published: October 2018

During military operations, soldiers often encounter extreme environmental, metabolic and neuropsychiatric conditions, which combined lead to a fatigue status that can cause serious physiological impairments, decreasing military performance on the battlefield. Comprehensive studies in realistically stressful environments are essential to expand the knowledge regarding the consequences of real-life stress exposure, facilitate development of operationally-useful techniques and promote the conception of improved treatments. Therefore, a systematic review is proposed to obtain relevant information about fatigue assessment through multiple physiological parameters in the military context, to focus on determining the associations between fatigue and physiological response in order to plan in the future adequate interventions to prevent related negative consequences. Thus, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) Statement, this systematic review protocol was elaborated in order to present adequate guidelines to develop a research that can provide appropriate results to fulfil the sought objective. Five databases will be accessed (SCOPUS, PubMed, Science Direct, Medline and Web of Science) and a total of 9 combinations of keywords will be used. This protocol is registered in PROSPERO under the code of PROSPERO CRD42018105833.

Mild Covalent Functionalization of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides with Maleimides: A “Click” Reaction for TMDCs
Authors: Vera-Hidalgo Mariano , Giovanelli Emerson , Navío Cristina , Pérez Emilio
Published: October 2018

The physical properties of ultrathin transition metal dichalcogenides (2D-TMDCs) make them promising candidates as active nanomaterials for catalysis, optoelectronics, and biomedical applications. Chemical modification of TMDCs is expected to be key in modifying/adding new functions that will help make such promise a reality. We present a mild method for the modification of the basal planes of 2H-MoS2 and WS2. We exploit the soft nucleophilicity of sulfur to react it with maleimide derivatives, achieving covalent functionalization of 2H-TMDCs under very mild conditions. Extensive characterization proves that the reaction occurs through Michael addition. Our results adapt one of the most popular “click” reactions in polymer chemistry and biochemistry to obtain a powerful tool for the chemical manipulation of TMDCs.
Disentangling Coupling Effects in the Infrared Spectra of Liquid Water
Authors: Hunter Kelly M. , Shakib Farnaz A. , Lab Paesani
Published: October 2018

A quantitative characterization of intermolecular and intramolecular couplings that modulate the OH-stretch vibrational band in liquid water has so far remained elusive. Here, we take up this challenge by combining the centroid molecular dynamics (CMD) formalism, which accounts for nuclear quantum effects, with the MB-pol potential energy function, which accurately reproduces the properties of water across all phases, to model the infrared (IR) spectra of various isotopic water solutions with different levels of vibrational couplings, including those that cannot be probed experimentally. Analysis of the different IR OH-stretch lineshapes provides direct evidence for the partially quantum-mechanical nature of hydrogen bonds in liquid water, which is emphasized by synergistic effects associated with intermolecular coupling and many-body electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, we quantitatively demonstrate that intramolecular coupling, which results in Fermi resonances due to the mixing between HOH-bend overtones and OH-stretch fundamentals, are responsible for the shoulder located at ∼3250 cm-1 of the IR OH-stretch band of liquid water.
Specificity for deubiquitination of monoubiquitinated FANCD2 is driven by the N-terminus of USP1
Authors: Arkinson Connor , Chaugule Viduth K , Toth Rachel , Walden Helen
Published: October 2018

The Fanconi anemia pathway for DNA interstrand crosslink repair and the translesion synthesis pathway for DNA damage tolerance both require cycles of monoubiquitination and deubiquitination. The ubiquitin-specific protease-1 (USP1), in complex with USP1-associated factor 1, regulates multiple DNA repair pathways by deubiquitinating monoubiquitinated Fanconi anemia group D2 protein (FANCD2), Fanconi anemia group I protein (FANCI), and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Loss of USP1 activity gives rise to chromosomal instability. Whereas many USPs hydrolyse ubiquitin–ubiquitin linkages, USP1 targets ubiquitin–substrate conjugates at specific sites. The molecular basis of USP1's specificity for multiple substrates is poorly understood. Here, we reconstitute deubiquitination of purified monoubiquitinated FANCD2, FANCI, and PCNA and show that molecular determinants for substrate deubiquitination by USP1 reside within the highly conserved and extended N-terminus. We found that the N-terminus of USP1 harbours a FANCD2-specific binding sequence required for deubiquitination of K561 on FANCD2. In contrast, the N-terminus is not required for direct PCNA or FANCI deubiquitination. Furthermore, we show that the N-terminus of USP1 is sufficient to engineer specificity in a more promiscuous USP.

Published: October 2018

A parallelized numerical method based on Fireworks Algorithm (FWA) algorithm has been developed to solve the Inverse Heat Transfer Problem. The Heat Transfer Coefficient functions obtained on the surfaces of an axisymmetric workpiece as a function of time are estimated by applying the novel technique. The objective function to be minimized by the FWA approach is defined by the deviation of a virtually acquisited and the calculated temperatures. Numerical results have been demonstrated in 3 case studies.
Stalin's Hollow Cross-the Russian Orthodox Church as a Tool of Soviet Foreign Policy
Authors: Hupka Jordan
Published: October 2018

It has been said that the Second World War saved the Russian Orthodox Church from extermination. Ever since the Revolution of 1917, the religious peoples of Russia were constantly persecuted by Soviet ideologists and politicians. Prior to Operation Barbarossa, in 1941, it seemed that the days of the Russian Orthodox Church, the largest religious institution in the Soviet Union, were numbered. However, the unique climate of the Second World War forced the Soviet government to end its war against the church. The Kremlin soon saw the Church as a useful tool to help aid in the re- occupation of Eastern Europe.

Publishing on Ice
Authors: Coppinger Eve
Published: October 2018

This article examines a particular shipboard newspaper situated within the centuries- long hunt for the Northwest Passage. The newspaper existed in both an original handwritten form produced on a ship in the Arctic and as a printed edition in London. An examination of the newspaper in both versions suggests the ways in which the same text can be transformed by variations on its physical form, its readers, and its temporal situation. This study shows the ways that a focus on print culture and books as objects can be used to interpret primary historical sources, revealing the value of dealing with primary sources in a personal way.
A Historiographical Critique of The Inquisition by Michael Baigent and Richard Leigh
Authors: Kim Dongwoo
Published: October 2018

Butterfield defined Whig historiography as studying ―the past with reference to the present‖ to make a simple binary categorization of the good and the evil and make history a story of progress. Originally, the Anglo-American historians used Whig historiography to present the Catholic Church as the antithesis of modernity and liberalism in a reductive manner. Baigent and Leigh further this kind of historiography in The Inquisition.

This paper examines the rise and fall of voluptuousness as a beauty ideal in mid- nineteenth century America. It argues that the rise and fall of the fuller figured woman can be traced to shifting economic, social, and medical beliefs that in turn, affected perceptions about fatness‟ relationship to class, morality, health, and beauty.
The Historiography of the Front de Liberation du Quebec: Frameworks, ‘Identity’ and Future Study
Authors: Pinkoski Kevin Lee
Published: October 2018

This paper examines the historiography of the Front de Liberation Quebecois within the context of three frameworks, each used to devaluate the FLQ, the idea of separation, its potential support and most importantly, the perspectives of historians who oppose these frameworks. Through an examination of the literature, the FLQ are framed as an attack on British liberalism, an attack on Canadian Unity, or violent in a political climate where such actions were unjustifiable. These understandings work cooperatively together to de-legitimize alternative views on FLQ history, and Quebec independence. I will examine also the benefits in studying the FLQ outside of the tensions of separation and the potential for future study in the history of the FLQ.

“Unseemly Practices”: Sodomy and Punishment in Seventeenth Century British North America
Authors: West Samantha
Published: October 2018

Despite numerous laws and religious tracts prohibiting homosexuality and the practise of same-sex activity in colonial North America, very few people were ever brought to trial – and even fewer found guilty – for engaging in such “unseemly practises.” Using both primary and secondary sources, this paper attempts to dissect the reasoning behind the relative lack of prosecutions of men thought to have participated in “sodomitical [sic] behaviour”. Issues of community, power, and religion as they related to sodomy will be discussed.
“Moral Fibre: Women’s Fashion and the Free Cotton Movement, 1830-1860”
Authors: Reiniger Joelle
Published: October 2018

Women played a vital role in the American and British antislavery movements of the nineteenth century. Among other strategies, American women’s efforts included boycotting slave-produced goods and selling luxury items to raise money for the cause. Complicated by the nation’s diverse religious landscape, popular attitudes toward dress rendered some forms of consumer advocacy more effective than others. Fashionable antislavery fairs provided significant financial support for political campaigns. Meanwhile, Quaker Christians and some evangelical groups, which valued plain dress, promoted abstention from all slave- produced goods and the genesis of an alternative free-labour cotton trade. Unlike the famous British boycotts of slave- produced sugar, American textile boycotts gained little support. This paper examines how the tension between American fashion and antifashion influenced the rise and fall of the free cotton movement.
“The Influence of Contemporary Society and Politics in Catullus 51”
Authors: Kubish Alexander
Published: October 2018

This paper explores the possibility of an undercurrent of sociopolitical commentary in Catullus’s Poem 51. Taking as its starting point a recent theory arguing for such a commentary in Poem 11, it attempts to determine whether and to what extent it can be applied to Poem 51; these two poems are often studied together, as they both concern the character Lesbia and are the only two Catullan poems written in the sapphic meter. The paper examines elements of the poem such as word choice, meter, and stylistic devices, as well as differences between it and the Sappho poem it is based on. The argument is that there are elements of sociopolitical commentary in Poem 51 similar to Poem 11 and other ‘Lesbia poems’, albeit to a lesser extent.
“Science. Not Just For Scientists. A Historiographical Analysis of the Changing Interpretations of the Scientific Revolution”
Authors: Gasparik Aaron
Published: October 2018

Traditionally, the Scientific Revolution has been portrayed as an era in history when new developments in fields of ‘scientific’ thought eclipsed the long-held notions presented by religion and philosophy. Historical interpretations subscribing to this view have often presented the Scientific Revolution as a time when significant changes occurred in the way societies understood their world. These historical analyses have focused on a limited suite of ideas – the iconic figures of the Scientific Revolution, the intellectual, methodological and theoretical developments of the era and the shift away from antiquated worldviews. Owing to the decidedly intellectual foci of these investigations, the Scientific Revolution, and the influential figures therein, are depicted as the impetus for modern thought and society as we know it today. However, in recent decades, historical studies of the Scientific Revolution have shifted away from investigations emphasizing the supposedly progressive nature of the era and have chosen to observe aspects of the historical period that are significantly more cultural in tone. For instance, aspects such as the economic impacts of intellectual developments, the self-fashioning practiced by figures during the period and the importance of cultivating various social relationships are observed in order to provide a richer, more socially contextualized presentation of the Scientific Revolution. This paper will compare two modes of historical investigation – Intellectual and Cultural Historical, examine the changes that have occurred in historical interpretations of the Scientific Revolution and illustrate the motivations that have guided these two distinct approaches to history. This historiographical analysis will show how portrayals of the Scientific Revolution have changed over time and developed from something decidedly intellectual in focus, into a much more nuanced, culturally focused form of scholarship.
“This is (Not) a Test”: Human Dimensions of Open-Air Biological Weapons Tests, 1949-1969
Authors: Balcom Erin
Published: October 2018

In the fall of 1950, eleven San Francisco residents were admitted to Berkeley Hospital with rare bacterial infections. Nearly thirty years later, a Senate subcommittee hearing revealed that the military deliberately released Serratia marcescens, a known opportunistic pathogen, from a naval ship in San Francisco Bay just days before the outbreak, which resulted in the death of Edward J. Nevin. Over the next twenty years, a court case and numerous investigations uncovered an alarming truth about the United States biological weapons program. Government and military personnel have repeatedly and publicly defended the safety and ethics of the research program, insisting that the released substances were "harmless simulants", and that their activities did not qualify as human experimentation. These claims contradict not only official project reports, but the knowledge of civilian scientists and the experiences of the exposed populations, which document the widely ignored human dimensions of the project.
A New Crusade: Johannes Tinctor's Sect of Witches
Authors: Punyi Matthew J.
Published: October 2018

The witch-hunt of the Burgundian town of Arras in 1459-1460 was the first large- scale, state-sponsored witch-hunt of Western Europe. However, immediately following this witch-hunt we still find evidence of a reluctance to accept the realities of witchcraft among the populace, made plain in the official appeal record of the accused Seigneur Colard de Beaufort at the parlement de Paris. Scepticism of this kind stirred the Dominican cleric Johannes Tinctor out of retirement to write a vicious demonological treatise to convince the courts of Burgundy and France of the existence and dangers of a sect called vaudois, a term that had come to refer to witches. This essay closely examines Tinctor's heavy use of crusading imagery in his Invectives contre la secte de vauderie to justify and rationalize his arguments for duke Philip the Good of Burgundy and his court, a court renowned for consistent but empty promises of crusade and an elaborate culture bloated with an idealized infatuation with chivalric virtue and romance. In the autumn of the middle ages, when the traditional eastern crusade against "Saracens" had become frustratingly difficult to organize, what could be more appealing to a court so starved for crusade than a cry for war against an even greater enemy hiding amongst the populace, threatening Christendom from within?
'Absurd' Rationalist Cosmology: Copernicus, Kepler, Descartes and the Religious Basis for the end to Aristotelian Dogma
Authors: Smit-Keding Nicholas
Published: October 2018

Current popular narratives regarding the history of astronomy espouse the narrative of scientific development arising from clashes between observed phenomena and dogmatic religious scripture. Such narratives consider the development of our understandings of the cosmos as isolated episodes in ground-breaking, world-view shifting events, led by rational, objective and secular observers. As observation of astronomical development in the early 1600s shows, however, such a narrative is false. Developments by Johannes Kepler, for instance, followed earlier efforts by Nicholas Copernicus to refine Aristotelian-based dogma with observed phenomena. Kepler's efforts specifically were not meant to challenge official Church teachings, but offer a superior system to what was than available, based around theological justifications. Popular acceptance of a heliocentric model came not from Kepler's writings, but from the philosophical teachings of Rene Descartes. Through strictly mathematical and philosophical reasoning, Descartes not only rendered the Aristotelian model baseless in society, but also provided a cosmological understanding of the universe that centred our solar system within a vast expanse of other stars. The shift than, from the Aristotelian geocentric model to the heliocentric model, came not from clashes between theology and reason, but from negotiations between theology and observed phenomena.

Representing a Past: A Historical Analysis of how Gender Biases Influence the Interpretation of Archaeological Remains
Authors: Chattoo Saliha
Published: October 2018

The cultural and temporal context that any archaeologist is a part of will necessarily bias the way in which he or she interprets material remains. While interpretation is a crucial part of the archaeological process, the preconceived notions an archaeologist may hold can colour their interpretation of the society in question. Through examples such as the excavations at Knossos in Crete, the effect such biases can have on archaeological interpretation and discourse is studied.

This study investigated the types of problems made by pre-service mathematics teachers and their recognition of teaching and learning of problem-posing. When closing the unit 'relation and function' of the set theory in the course of foundations of mathematics for the first-year pre-service teachers of university, they performed the problem-posing activity, and then solved and scored the problems with peer students. About 70% of pre-service teachers suggested textbook problem, acceptance problem, and acceptance-extension problem while the rest 30% suggested challenge problem and creative problem. pre-service teachers recognized that the problem-posing activity was helpful for their own learning by strengthening and enriching the basic concept of mathematics. However, some of them were not sure if they would use the problem-posing activity for class if they become mathematics teachers because of errors in the problem-posing process or fear of insufficient problems. This could be overcome through the activity of modifying the errors of problems together with peers in the scoring process.

The aim of this paper is to examine the issue of the development of entrepreneurial skills of students in vocational education. Entrepreneurship education is a subject that is included in the curriculum of vocational education which aims to broaden the knowledge of the students to the world of entrepreneurship and to motivate them to become directly involved in the entrepreneurial world. However, the achievement of the objectives of the course is still far from what is expected, it is caused by the lack of experience gained by the students in the entrepreneurial course and by the lack of student ability to generalize from one course to the other courses. The recent learning process oriented on the theory that was less supported by the practice, so that the experiences gained were still abstract. The teaching model of production based learning is the main step in improving the entrepreneurial skills of the learners, it is caused by this model will synergize the knowledge (cognitive) and psychomotor abilities of students that have not been achieved well. The implication is that faculty and instructional designers need to design the learning that facilitates the students in order to have direct experiences especially in entrepreneurial courses (entrepreneurship)

Authors: Rahmi Ulfia
Published: October 2018

Tujuan penulisan artikel ini adalah untuk menjelaskan pentingnya mendesain sistem pembelajaran blended learning dengan mempertimbangkan komponen-komponen pembelajaran. Pentingnya desain sistem pembelajaran dilakukan karena pembelajaran merupakan inti pendidikan, ketika memperbaiki kualitas pendidikan maka tingkatkan kualitas pembelajaran. Desain sistem pembelajaran inilah yang menjadi salah satu upaya dalam meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran. Pembelajaran saat ini yang sedang digandrungi adalah pembelajaran berbasis teknologi menggunakan internet. Pembelajaran yang menggunakan internet melahirkan sistem pembelajaran yang lebih fleksibel, dapat dilakukan dimana saja dan kapan saja (online learning). Namun, di Indonesia belum dapat dilakukan sepenuhnya karena keterbatasan sarana dan sumber daya untuk melakukan fully online learning. Perlu mempertahankan pertemuan tatap muka dengan mengombinasikan dengan online learning yaitu blended learning, sehingga potensi peserta didik dapat dikembangkan. Oleh sebab itu, agar blended learning dapat diimplementasikan dibutuhkan desain sistem pembelajaran. Sistem terdiri dari banyak bagian yang saling berhubungan satu dengan yang lainnya. Ketika satu komponen tidak berjalan sesuai perannya maka tujuan dari sistem juga akan terganggu, misalnya tujuan pembelajaran, materi, metode dan media, peserta didik, pendidik dan evaluasi. Komponen pembelajaran inilah yang saling melengkapi dalam mencapai tujuan desain sistem pembelajaran yaitu menciptakan suasana belajar yang kondusif agar peserta didik secara optimal mengembangkan potensi diri. Artinya, desain sistem pembelajaran blended learning yang dilakukan adalah mendesain sebuah pembelajaran dengan mempertimbangkan komponen pembelajar, tidak hanya terfokus pada salah satu komponen saja.
