Published: February 2020

There is great pressure to improve Marketing accountability as well as its integration with the financial area in order to create shareholder value. In this sense, a research was carried out to evaluate the relationship between the value of the main global brands, revenue, profit margin and market capitalization of companies in the period from 2007 to 2016, with emphasis on the effect of the crisis and after the American crisis and global of 2008. The analysis was centered on the comparison of the indicators of a group composed of the companies holding the strongest brands in the world with a group of the world's largest companies in the concept of S & P 500, excluding the holders of the strongest brands in the first group. Among other points, the survey found that companies that have stronger brands, based on market value, have a net profit margin of 9.8% in the 10-year period, 42% higher than the 6.9% margin of largest companies in the world. The results also suggest that in the moment of external crisis the strong brands allow a relatively greater shielding of this margin.
Affectfullness as the basis for the (re)formulation of the teacher´s professional identity
Authors: Loos-Sant'Ana Helga , Sant'Ana-Loos René Simonato , Oliveira Clésnia de
Published: February 2020

‘Affectfullness’ is called the way of life defended by Theoretical System of Affectfullness (TSA) in which the interactions we experience in the world can become rich and meaningful. Seen in these terms, it may be understood as a method that provides parameters for analyzing our experiences and investing in our full development as human beings. As of this approach, the teaching and learning activities should also be seen from a broader perspective, since they have a relevant role in the developmental path of our species. Therefore, it is argued that in scholastic institutions, the teacher – the person in charge of ‘teaching’- needs to experience opportunities and perspectives of self-development which happens through participation in healthy interactions and appropriate conditions to carry out their work of transmitting the input of knowledge produced by humanity from generation to generation. However, unfortunately we have noticed that a large number of elementary school teachers in Brazil do not perceive themselves inserted in a context full of development possibilities, both of themselves and of their own students. Teachers experience discomfort and anxieties, which in turn result in disenchantment with their teaching activities. This paper aims to explore, based on the literature researched, some of the difficulties lived by performing teachers which were organized in seven sections that indicate how the integrity of the ‘teaching profession’ has negatively been affected. Then, it promoted a dialogue with the Theoretical System of Affectfullness (TSA) in order to elicit reflections, which contribute to the teachers arouse an “affectively expanded look” on the dimension of their daily work and their professional identity, becoming able to positively affect their work environment and help modify this reality for better.
Institutional Determinants of Firm Performance: Evidence from Pakistan
Authors: Ahmad Adnan , Ilyas Muhammad , Urooge Saima
Published: February 2020

Owner structure (OS) is an imperative feature of a firm and firm performance (FP). Recent studies have debated the effect of OS and FP around the world. Studies argue that OS is one of the important factors of decision making since principals expect wealth maximization while agents try to increase their personal gains. However, investor protection (IP) adds to the decision making with regards to OS since IP ensures that shareholders finds shall not be expropriated and that IP enhances the trust of all stakeholders and help in making informed decision. Based on this premise, we investigate the effect of OS on FP in the presence of IP. Using secondary data from Pakistans capital market for the years 2008-2015 and applying panel data techniques, we find that not only OS affects FP but the interaction term of IP and OS also has a significant on FP. These results indicate that capital markets in developing countries rely more on OS since it ensures that managers do not expropriate investors funds and thus make informed decisions.

Published: February 2020

Introduction: Analysis of total signal decay is based on prognosis of the total path loss occurring in the atmospheric communication links, accounting for effects of gaseous structures attenuation and scattering, hydrometeors (rain, snow and clouds) absorption and attenuation, and turbulent structures fast fading on radio and optical signals passing atmospheric channels with fading. Purpose: To perform a novel methodology of definition and estimation of effects of decay, absorption, scattering, and fading of radio and optical signals propagating in atmospheric channels in various meteorological conditions. Results: Wasanalyzed the impact of gaseous structures, hydrometeors and turbulent structures in total path loss for link budget design and in degradation of data stream parameters, such as capacity, spectral efficiency and bit-error-rate, which lead in loss of information data signals passing such kinds of channels with fast fading and decrease of quality of service. An optimal algorithm was found of the total path loss prediction for various meteorological situations occurring in the real atmosphere at different heights and for various frequencies of radiated signals. A method was proposed of how to evaluate the data stream parameters, capacity, spectralefficiency and bit-error-rate, accounting for the effects of atmospheric turbulence impact on fast fading, which corrupts information passing such kinds of channels. All practical tests were illustrated by the use of the MATLAB utility. A new methodology was proposed on how to evaluate and estimate the capacity, the spectral efficiency, and the loss in energy and in the information data stream for different scenarios of radio and optical signals propagation via atmospheric channels with fading caused by different meteorological conditions. Practical relevance: The results obtained allow to achieve better accuracy of prognosis and increase quality of service in atmospheric communication channels.
Method of frequency-spatial selection of radio emissions using a triorthogonal antenna system
Authors: Dvornikov Sergej , Konyukhovsky Vladimir , Simonov Aleksey
Published: February 2020

Introduction: An unresolved problem in radio monitoring is the separation of overlapping radio spectrum from different sourceswhen restricted dimensions of the antenna system do not provide the necessary spatial resolution. Purpose: Developing models of radioemissions and procedures for their processing in order to select signals from different sources out of their additive mixture at the antennasystem input. Methods: Point linear regression for the decomposition of the resulting field at the triorthogonal antenna system inputinto basic functions which are consistent with the frequency parameters of the radio emissions. Results: On the geometric basis, using acoordinate transformation matrix, due to the reference system rotation, radio emission models with different polarization are proposedfor a plane electromagnetic wave with a given arrival direction. The developed models have the amplitude and phase parameters split intoseparate factors. Procedures have been developed for separating the additive mixture of radio emissions in the triorthogonal antennasystem into components related to different sources. The novelty of the presented solution lies in the use of geometric interpretationof the point linear regression problem, when the resulting vector of the electric field of the sum of two radio emissions is decomposedinto linearly independent vectors composed of basic functions whose choice is determined by the frequency parameters of the signals.In addition to the actual selection of the signals, it is possible to analyze the spatial and polarization parameters of the radio emissions.Practical relevance: The method can be implemented in radio monitoring equipment with restrictions on the weight and dimensions, forthe use in complex signal environments.

La pratica della mindfulness permette e sostiene la capacità di essere presenti a se stessi e consapevoli dei propri stati mentali attraverso un'attenzione intenzionale e non giudicante al momento presente: il corpo non è spettatore di questo processo, partecipandovi con la sua essenza, la sua presenza e le sue potenzialità. L'osservazione e l'ascolto del corpo, statico e in movimento, sono passi fondamentali nel cammino verso una maggiore consapevolezza.
Mindful care: la mindfulness come risorsa per caregiver familiari e professionali
Authors: Cantelmi Tonino , Toro Maria Beatrice , Boldrini Francesca
Published: February 2020

In un mondo che sembra non essere in grado di costruire relazioni solide e autentiche, l'identità del singolo stenta a trovare spazio per esistere, esprimersi e fiorire. Davanti a un "esserci" fortemente limitato, che trova soddisfazione in un'estrema celebrazione di sé, "essere con" l'altro ed "esserci per" l'altro si configurano come esperienze difficilmente sperimentabili. Ritrovare, attraverso la mindfulness, la consapevolezza di sé nel momento presente, costituisce una risorsa dal valore pregevole. Vivere consapevolmente nel "qui ed ora" consente di ascoltarsi, prima di rivolgere l'ascolto verso l'altro; permette di coltivare il proprio esserci" che rende possibile l'"esserci per" l'altro, in un incontro autentico e privo di giudizio. Ciò vale in particolar modo quando l'interlocutore appare bisognoso di presenza e di cura, ad ogni grado, da parte di caregiver professionali e, frequentemente, familiari.

Published: February 2020

Objective: To compare the probabilities of local recurrence and distant metastasis between women with triple-negative and non- triple negative breast cancers.

Methods: Medical and pathological records of breast cancer patients treated between the years 2002 and 2006 were reviewed.

Results: There were 256 patients with complete data on estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) expression determinations. There were 54 patients (21%) with triple-negative (ER-, PR-, HER2 -) cancers. Triple-negative patients were more likely to have larger tumors with higher histologic grade. The median fallow-up time was 4 years. The probabilities of local and distant recurrence were similar between the two groups of patients. Only two factors were independently and significantly associated with overall recurrence: tumor stage and tumor size.

Conclusion: Triple-negative breast cancer did not have a higher risk for both local recurrence and distant metastasis when compared with non-triple negative cancer.

Four cycles of rituximab plus CHOP chemotherapy is as effective as 6 cycles in low-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Here we report a post-hoc analysis of a prospective clinical trial in patients with HIV-associated DLBCL and high-grade lymphoma treated with 4–6 cycles of EPOCH plus rituximab based a response-adapted treatment strategy. 106 evaluable patients with HIV-associated DLBCL or high-grade CD20-positive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were randomized to receive rituximab (375 mg/m2) given either concurrently prior to each infusional EPOCH cycle, or sequentially (weekly for 6 weeks) following completion of EPOCH. EPOCH consisted of a 96-hour IV infusion of etoposide, doxorubicin, and vincristine plus oral prednisone followed by IV bolus cyclophosphamide every 21 days for 4 to 6 cycles. Patients received 2 additional cycles of therapy after documentation of a complete response (CR) by computerized tomography after cycles 2 and 4. 64 of 106 evaluable patients (60%, 95% CI 50%, 70%) had a CR in both treatment arms. The 2-year event-free survival (EFS) rates were similar in the 24 patients with CR who received 4 or fewer EPOCH cycles (78%, 95% confidence intervals [55%, 90%]) due to achieving a CR after 2 cycles, compared with those who received 5-6 cycles of EPOCH (85%, 95% CI 70%, 93%) because a CR was first documented after cycle 4. A response-adapted strategy may permit a shorter treatment duration without compromising therapeutic efficacy in patients with HIV-associated lymphoma treated with EPOCH plus rituximab, which merits further evaluation in additional prospective trials.

Published: February 2020

Anemia is a frequent complication in cancer patients. Cancer-related anemia adversely affects quality of life and is associated with reduced overall survival. Reasons for anemia in cancer patients are decreased production of RBCs resulting from nutritional deficiencies; insufficient production of RBCs because of the presence of chronic disease; Cancer promotes inflammatory cytokine production, which suppresses erythropoiesis and erythropoietin (EPO) production; bone marrow infiltration by the tumor or bone marrow suppression resulting from anticancer treatment such as surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy; and increased loss of RBCs caused by blood loss from the tumor, surgery, or hemolysis. Correction of anemia can be achieved by different methods.Treatment is aimed at increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, reducing fatigue, and improving the patient's overall quality of life. Erythropoiesisstimulating agents, iron supplementation, and red blood cell transfusions have all been recommended in different settings.

Published: February 2020

The study of semiconductor materials with point radiation defects of the crystal structure in three charge states (–1), (0), (+1) is important for determining the conditions of their radiation resistance under the influence of gamma rays, fast electrons, etc. Such defects are self-sufficient to ensure electrical neutrality of the material under conditions of ionization equilibrium, that issue determines the radiation resistance of materials. In silicon and diamond crystals, such irradiation-induced defects during their accumulation stabilize the Fermi level in the vicinity of one third of the band gap from the top of the valence band. The purpose of the work is an analytical description of the stationary hopping electron transfer in a semiconductor, taking into account the joint migration of both the single electrons and the pairs of electrons over these triple-charged defects. A crystalline semiconductor is considered as a matrix containing immobile point defects of one sort in the prevailing concentration. For the first time in the drift-diffusion approximation, a phenomenological theory is constructed of coexisting migration of both the single electrons (transitions from the charge state (–1) to state (0) and from the state (0) to state (+1)), and the electron pairs (transitions from the state (–1) to state (+1)) by means of their hopping between such defects when an external stationary electric field is applied to the semiconductor. In the linear approximation, analytical expressions are obtained for the screening length of a static electric field and the length of the hopping diffusion of electrons migrating via such defects. It is shown that the additional contribution of the hopping transport of electron pairs leads to a decrease in the screening length and also changes the diffusion length.

Authors: Burmakov Aliaksandr P. , Kuleshov Vasiliy N. , Stoliarov Alexei V.
Published: February 2020

In this work, we consider a method for producing film structures, which are a dielectric matrix with nanosized metal particles in it. The technique is implemented by the simultaneous use of magnetron sputtering and pulsed laser deposition. As a dielectric matrix, TiO2 films formed by magnetron sputtering are used. Metallic Ag particles were deposited from an erosive laser stream. The conditions for the implementation of the technique are presented: the relative position of the magnetron, laser target, and substrate; characteristics of laser radiation; magnetron discharge parameters; pressure and composition of the gaseous medium. Using the methods of spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, the optical and structural characteristics of coatings are determined. The coating thickness was determined, the prevailing particle size and their surface density were estimated. A significant effect of the frequency of laser pulses on the absorption and transmission of the plasmon surface resonance band, as well as the presence in the film structure of small-sized particles of the cathode material of the magnetron sputter, is established.
‘La Décadente a fait son temps’: Rachilde and Georges de Peyrebrune's Une décadente
Authors: Larson Sharon
Published: February 2020

In 1886, Georges de Peyrebrune (1841–1917) published the novella Une décadente, a scarcely veiled depiction – and biting critique – of Rachilde (1860–1953) and her unconventional lifestyle. In her depiction of Hélione, a fictionalized version of Rachilde, she borrows from contemporary medical discourses on hysteria and suggests that her heroine's true fulfillment can only be realized through motherhood. Peyrebrune positions these male-authored discourses alongside a concurrent ridicule of Hélione's aspirations as a writer of decadent literature. However, in an unanticipated twist in the final pages, the discursive medical framework of her narrative collapses, exposing the precariousness of the literary and scientific constructions of hysteria and thus leading readers to rethink Peyrebrune's traditionalist views. In positioning these discourses within the larger aesthetic and ideological interrogations of the text, we may uncover Peyrebrune's own revision – albeit subtle at times – of a fictional model and the medical rhetoric that shapes it.
Laughing Matter: Charles Cros, from Paléophone to Monologue
Authors: Kerr Greg
Published: February 2020

Nineteenth-century poet, savant and inventor Charles Cros is a figure whose endeavours were exceptionally wide-ranging. They include a proposed instrument which would be the first of its kind capable of recording sound (the ‘paléophone’); treatises on photography and interplanetary communication; poetry, and a body of comic monologues which belong to the current of fumisme. This article argues that Cros's monologues are subtly inflected by his interest in the faculty of speech and technologies of sound reproduction. While they do not explicitly evoke such technologies, they show an acute sensitivity to the quirks and accidents of the spoken word to which neither dramatic convention nor indeed norms of social discourse attribute sense. It is this ill-formed matter, amounting to a kind of discursive ‘noise’, which allows Cros to offer a wry commentary on the pretensions of a fin-de-siècle culture preoccupied with the strategizing of utterance and the production of an objectified record of the spoken word.
Critique virale et genre trafiqué dans Valérie par Valérie par La Rédaction
Authors: Proulx Gabriel
Published: February 2020

Valérie par Valérie ouvre de nouvelles voies critiques fécondes, mais difficiles à déplier. Œuvre publiée sous le nom énigmatique de La Rédaction, ce livre dont la paternité est attribuable principalement, voire exclusivement, à Christophe Hanna met en place ce que nous pourrions appeler une critique virale, cherchant à occuper les discours dominants pour les attaquer de l'intérieur plutôt qu'en leur opposant une nouvelle idéologie. Cet article tente en premier lieu de définir la critique virale de Hanna à partir de ses propres textes théoriques et du travail de Guy Debord sur le spectacle. Il aborde ensuite la forme que prend cette critique dans Valérie par Valérie, où l'auteur se dresse contre la séparation du littéraire et du non-littéraire, ainsi que l'ultracapitalisme contemporain et ses ramifications politico-économiques. Finalement, les implications éthiques d'une telle démarche critique implicite y sont analysées, principalement à partir de la sémioéthique, afin de déterminer l'efficacité d'un tel projet.

Published: February 2020

While supply chain analytics shows promise regarding value, benefits, and increase in performance for logistics and supply chain management (LSCM) organizations, those organizations are often either reluctant to invest or unable to achieve the returns they aspire to. This article systematically explores the barriers LSCM organizations experience in employing supply chain analytics that contribute to such reluctance and unachieved returns and measures to overcome these barriers. This article therefore aims to systemize the barriers and measures and allocate measures to barriers in order to provide organizations with directions on how to cope with their individual barriers. By using Grounded Theory through 12 in-depth interviews and Q-Methodology to synthesize the intended results, this article derives core categories for the barriers and measures, and their impacts and relationships are mapped based on empirical evidence from various actors along the supply chain.

AtR8 lncRNA was previously identified in the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana as an abundant Pol III-transcribed long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) of approximately 260 nt. AtR8 lncRNA accumulation is responsive to hypoxic stress and salicylic acid (SA) treatment in roots, but its function has not yet been identified. In this study, microarray analysis of an atr8 mutant and wild-type Arabidopsis indicated a strong association of AtR8 lncRNA with the defense response. AtR8 accumulation exhibited an inverse correlation with an accumulation of two WRKY genes (WRKY53/WRKY70) when plants were exposed to exogenous low SA concentrations (20 µM), infected with Pseudomonas syringae, or in the early stage of development. The highest AtR8 accumulation was observed 5 days after germination, at which time no WRKY53 or WRKY70 mRNA was detectable. The presence of low levels of SA resulted in a significant reduction of root length in atr8 seedlings, whereas wrky53 and wrky70 mutants exhibited the opposite phenotype. Taken together, AtR8 lncRNA participates in Pathogenesis-Related Proteins 1 (PR-1)-independent defense and root elongation, which are related to the SA response. The mutual regulation of AtR8 lncRNA and WRKY53/WRKY70 is mediated by Nonexpressor of Pathogenesis-Related Gene 1 (NPR1).

The smart tourism destination (STD) is an adaptation of the smart-city concept into a tourism destination. Smart cities relate to the urban use of technologies and internet in order to improve economic growth, quality of life, efficient management of resources, and generation of governance processes and social participation. This paper aims to highlight the perception that different tourism experts in Puerto Vallarta have about intelligent tourism destinations. The working method of this research was through a Delphi study to analyze the responses of local experts on the status of STD´s and their future trends. The experts’ perceptions on the concept’s definition, regional capacity for innovation, technological components, linking, and sustainability was analyzed. Experts perceived an optimistic scenario for STD in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, México. The participants in this study value the factors that determine the implementation of STDs as determinants; there are at least three of them: Training, Investment, and Governance.

Objetivo. Avaliar o efeito agudo de um procedimento de Fisioterapia Aquática, no alinhamento e simetria de tronco de crianças com En­cefalopatia Crônica Não Progressiva da Infância (ECNPI). Método. Aplicou-se a fotometria como instrumento de avaliação, comparando­-se pré e pós intervenção aquática, observando os efeitos agudos de uma única sessão, com duração de 30 minutos, em quatro sujeitos quadriparéticos espásticos, com média de idade 12,75 anos. Realiza­ram-se demarcações dos pontos anatômicos: acrômios, últimas coste­las e espinhas ilíacas ântero-superiores (EIAS), foto na postura sentada em cadeira de rodas. Utilizou-se o software Corel Draw para identi­ficação de alterações na postura comparando a altura entre os pontos demarcados no plano horizontal. Para fidedignidade dessas medidas, utilizou-se o Coeficiente de Correlação Intraclasse (ICC), que verifica possíveis erros de medidas dependentes do avaliador. Resultados. O ICC resultou em 0,95. Observou-se que houve maior alinhamento e simetria corporal nos quatro sujeitos após a intervenção (p<0,05) e entre os pontos acrômios (0,02), EIAS (0,03) e não houve diferença entre últimas costelas (0,48). Conclusão. Neste estudo, concluiu-se que a Fisioterapia aquática apresentou um efeito agudo positivo na postura de crianças com ECNPI avaliadas.

For the first time, electroplex emission is utilized to enhance the performance of nondoped blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). By decorating the twisted blue-emitting platform and adjusting the electronic structure, three molecules of 3Cz-Ph-CN, 3Cz-mPh-CN, and 3Ph-Cz-CN with a donor-acceptor structure are synthesized and investigated. When external voltage is applied, electroplex emission, which contributes to the emission performance of OLED, can be realized at the interface between the emitting layer and the electron-transporting layer. Accordingly, high external quantum efficiency of 18.1% can be achieved, while the emission wavelength of the device can be controlled in the blue region. Our results provide the possibility to enhance the performance of OLED through electroplex emission, in addition to the generally investigated thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). Excitedly, when 3Ph-Cz-CN is used as host material in orange-emitting phosphorous OLEDs (PO-01 as the dopant), unprecedented high external quantum efficiency of 27.4% can also be achieved.
THE SPECIFIC CHARACTER OF THE ARCHETYPE OF HOME IN THE NOVEL “HOUSE OF DOCTOR DEE” BY P. ACKROYD
Authors: Бондар Н.Ю
Published: February 2020

The article deals with the specific character of the archetype of home in the novel “The House of Doctor Dee” by P. Ackroyd. The novel of the English writer tells the story of the fate of the famous alchemist and scientist of the 16th century, Doctor John Dee and modern researcher Matthew Palmer. The purpose of the article is to determine the specific character of the archetype of home in the novel “The House of Doctor Dee” by P. Ackroyd in an individually-authored interpretation. The classical understanding of home is a connection with the family, generation, protection and support, shelter and spiritual comfort. In the second half of the 20th century the archetype of home is significantly problematic. “Home” ceases to be perceived as an exclusively “private” locus, even if it has absorbed all the wealth of the souls of its inhabitants, additional inclusions appear, most often of an existential universal plan. The literature of the postmodern era with its “sensitivity” to the world around it, i.e. with the desire to outline the problems of a wide range (philosophical, historical and others), continues to include “home” in the complex context of life. In this regard, P. Ackroyd’s novel “The House of Doctor Dee”, in which mysticism and reality are intertwined together, is of particular interest. The house of Doctor Dee seems to Matthew full of mystical phenomena and becomes a centre, including different time layers. The house in the novel “The House of Doctor Dee” by P. Ackroyd loses archetypal characteristics at all levels (despite the fact that Matthew is changing his attitude to his adoptive mother), from psychological (strong family ties, attention, understanding) to physical and social (protection, stability). All the fundamental mythological motifs of stability, which usually characterize the archetype of the house – the symbolic constancy of the place, the important role of higher female and male creatures (parents, teachers) as a kind of “good guardians” and mentors, the presence of children as a bastion of eternal renewal – are subjected to internal and external corrosion, destruction, and make the idea of returning home impossible. In addition, the house itself acquires the features of the homunculus, it disintegrates and reborn, but in each century in its own way.
