Published: August 2019

Democracy in a country, even a slightest association, is a demand for their citizens. One of the most important instruments in democracy is openness is reflected in the criticisms, suggestions, or advice. It must be realized in order to attain the goals and ideals together. To achieve this goal, the opposition to run a function that is vital and important, as checks and balances, controls government supported by a majority. Opposition is not only defined as a challenger to government policy, but as part of the democratic system to provide feedback, suggestions, and advice to the government. Democracy and meaningful opposition cannot be opposed to Islam. In the texts of the Qur'an or the Hadith of the Prophet there are many indications and guidance about it even though the text / literal in the Qur'an cannot be found lafadz democracy and the opposition, but the substance of democracy and the opposition reflected in the obligation to carry out enjoining and forbidding the evil or advised each other and advised reminded of the truth in order to achieve khair ummah

The interpreneur is basically one of the keys of an economic indefendent. Everyone has dream to be successful in this case. So that, in earlier Islam had paid intention and regulated for managing an economic inprovement. In this artcile aimed at presenting the Muhammadâ€™s consept of enterpreneur. He undoubtedly becomes a refrence of many live problems, but just very few   Muslim Scholarsâ€™ article which elaborates his success as an interpeneurer. It is extremely different with Western scholars that concern to examine Muhammadâ€™s success in trade. By historcial approach, the writer concludes that the key of Muhammadâ€™s success in improving his interpeneur really has a high relation of his a good attitude, aspecially honestly (al-amanah), clever (al-fatanah), (al-tabligh) and (al-siddiqh). Prophet Muhammadâ€™s manegement based on these attiudes becomes known as the most succesfull an interpeneruer in the world

Purpose

Currently, information on the mid-term outcome of cryoballoon ablation (CB-A) for drug-resistant atrial fibrillation in patients with reduced left ventricular systolic function is limited.

Methods

Thirty-eight consecutive patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (84.2% male), with median left ventricular ejection fraction of 37.3% were included in our study. All patients underwent the procedure with the 28-mm cryoballoon advance.

Results

There were no mayor complications related to the CB-A procedure. Median follow-up was 26.5 ± 13.7 months. The freedom from atrial fibrillation after a blanking period of 3 months was 42.9% in our cohort of patients. During the follow-up period, 13 patients underwent at least a new electrophysiological procedure. After a single procedure, the univariate predictors of clinical recurrence after the blanking period were age and persistent atrial fibrillation.

Conclusion

Second-generation CB-A of atrial fibrillation seems feasible and safe in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction, in terms of complications rate and number of applications per vein. All pulmonary veins could be isolated with the 28-mm cryoballoon advance only.

Authors: Paszkowiak Wojciech , Bartkowiak Tomasz , Pelic Marcin
Published: August 2019

This paper demonstrates kinematic analysis of multiple trailers on a tractor system for production logistics. The analysis concerned three different steering systems of the trailers: virtual clutch and drawbar system, conventional clutch and drawbar system, double Ackermann steering system. Designed kinematic models contain various variants of paths: turning at a constant value of the steering angle, changing the steering angle as a result of an approaching collision. Each of these variants also included driving in a straight line after a 90° turn. The validation of the developed kinematic model was done by using a real logistic train, which path was registered via aerial drone. For each of the developed kinematic models, a visualization of drive through the 90° turn was created.
A search for 4 specific markers linked to Pm3 alleles for resistance to powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis) in rye (Secale cereale)
Authors: Jurkowski Andrzej , Bujak Henryk
Published: August 2019

To investigate powdery mildew resistance in rye (Secale cereale), 397 inbred lines of winter rye were tested for susceptibility to infection with Blumeria graminis f. sp. secalis. The 50 most tolerant lines and 50 most infected lines were chosen for comparison. They were next tested for the presence of 4 markers linked to 4 alleles for resistance to powdery mildew, identified earlier in common wheat (Triticum aestivum). We found Pm3a only in 3 susceptible genotypes of winter rye, although this marker is linked to the powdery mildew resistance gene in wheat. The other 3 markers linked to Blumeria graminis f. sp. secalis resistance genes (Pm3b, Pm3c, Pm3d) were found in neither resistant nor susceptible rye genotypes.

Published: August 2019

Aiming to strengthen cooperation between scientific entities and enterprises and to overcome related obstacles, the authors propose to create a mechanism of incentives called BIZ-TRIZ, which is an abbreviation for “TRIZ for Business”. This mechanism is used to support cooperation between scientific entities and companies. Close cooperation is achieved by implementing R&D&I services, which is the responsibility of the scientific unit operating for the benefit of the companies involved. Research services are used together with the scientific instrument that reflects achievements in the modern theory of innovative problem solving (TRIZ). The analysis was made using the Maritime University of Szczecin and SME-type companies as an example. This paper describes the basic assumptions concerning the implementation of the BIZ-TRIZ mechanism. Also, it presents the use of SWOT analysis, needs/stakeholder analysis and risk analysis for the implementation of the BIZ-TRIZ mechanism. The paper describes preventative actions for the most important implementation risks and discusses the results of the analyses. Finally, it introduces the main conclusions regarding the purpose of implementing the BIZ-TRIZ mechanism.
Gerontechnology — the assessment of one selected technology improving the quality of life of older adults
Authors: Halicka Katarzyna
Published: August 2019

Older adults experience difficulties in their daily lives as their health deteriorates. Gerontechnology (the compilation of terms “gerontology” and “technology”) helps in the resolution of problems faced by older adults by improving their quality of life and, above all, developing tools to facilitate the access of older adults to all goods, services and infrastructure, which is also the understanding of the term used in this paper. The article mainly aimed to assess the selected gerontechnology that improved the quality of life of older adults in terms of different criteria, namely, innovation, demand, socioethics, usability, and functionality. It also analysed whether the respondent's age and gender had any influence on the assessment. Care robots were chosen from among the variety of gerontechnologies. The survey was conducted in the first quarter of 2018 and involved 643 people from different voivodships of Poland. Two types of questionnaires were designed. The electronic form of the survey was distributed using social media and snowball techniques, and the paper form was sent by traditional post to all nursing homes in Poland.
Performance of an automated process model discovery – the logistics process of a manufacturing company
Authors: Halaška Michal , Šperka Roman
Published: August 2019

The simulation and modelling paradigms have significantly shifted in recent years under the influence of the Industry 4.0 concept. There is a requirement for a much higher level of detail and a lower level of abstraction within the simulation of a modelled system that continuously develops. Consequently, higher demands are placed on the construction of automated process models. Such a possibility is provided by automated process discovery techniques. Thus, the paper aims to investigate the performance of automated process discovery techniques within the controlled environment. The presented paper aims to benchmark the automated discovery techniques regarding realistic simulation models within the controlled environment and, more specifically, the logistics process of a manufacturing company. The study is based on a hybrid simulation of logistics in a manufacturing company that implemented the AnyLogic framework. The hybrid simulation is modelled using the BPMN notation using BIMP, the business process modelling software, to acquire data in the form of event logs. Next, five chosen automated process discovery techniques are applied to the event logs, and the results are evaluated. Based on the evaluation of benchmark results received using the chosen discovery algorithms, it is evident that the discovery algorithms have a better overall performance using more extensive event logs both in terms of fitness and precision. Nevertheless, the discovery techniques perform better in the case of smaller data sets, with less complex process models. Typically, automated discovery techniques have to address scalability issues due to the high amount of data present in the logs. However, as demonstrated, the process discovery techniques can also encounter issues of opposite nature. While discovery techniques typically have to address scalability issues due to large datasets, in the case of companies with long delivery cycles, long processing times and parallel production, which is common for the industrial sector, they have to address issues with incompleteness and lack of information in datasets. The management of business companies is becoming essential for companies to stay competitive through efficiency. The issues encountered within the simulation model will be amplified through both vertical and horizontal integration of the supply chain within the Industry 4.0. The impact of vertical integration in the BPMN model and the chosen case identifier is demonstrated. Without the assumption of smart manufacturing, it would be impossible to use a single case identifier throughout the entire simulation. The entire process would have to be divided into several subprocesses.

Authors: Sujová Andrea , Marcineková Katarína , Simanová Ľubica
Published: August 2019

The increasing pressure of globalisation on the worldwide market has forced enterprises to shift their focus from product quality to effectiveness of internal business processes. The object of interest of this paper is a modern management approach based on corporate performance evaluation by measuring the performance of internal processes. The paper aims to prove that the use of modern indicators and the measurement of internal processes belong among factors that have a direct positive impact on corporate performance. To reach the aim, empirical primary research was carried out. The paper focused on research results regarding the use of modern indicators for the measurement of business processes in Slovak industrial enterprises from selected branches. The primary quantitative research was conducted using questionnaires. The research aimed to test the hypothesis stating that enterprises using modern indicators to measure process performance have been reaching more positive ROE values, representing a basic indicator of corporate performance. Dependences among the data selected from the empirical research were analysed using statistical methods, namely, the chi-squared test, T-test and the correlation analysis. Based on the statistically processed data, the authors concluded that business processes are a basic source for the evaluation of corporate performance. Higher ROE values can be reached using modern process indicators, especially in mass production enterprises. The paper contributed to the further development of knowledge in performance management, specifically, process-oriented management.

This study examines the micro enterprises of industrial sectors that receive Kredit Usaha Rakyat (People’s Business Credit/KUR) or Commercial Credit (KK) in seven cities in East Java. Firstly, this study aims to measure the technical efficiency of micro enterprises in the industrial sector in East Java that accept KUR and KK using the Data Envelopment Analysis method; secondly, to examine the factors that influence the technical efficiency of micro enterprises, which receive KUR and KK with Tobit Regression. Unlike others’ researches, this paper attempts to determine the influence of technical efficiency and other factors on the poverty status of micro entrepreneurs using logistic regression. The average technical efficiencies of KUR and KK recipient micro businesses using the assumptions of the DEA VRS model are 0.94 and 0.77. While the average technical efficiencies of KUR and KK recipient micro businesses using the assumptions of the DEA CRS model are 0.88 and 0.71. The factors that influence the technical efficiency of micro enterprises recipients of KUR and KK are profit, experience, geographical location, amount of credit, KUR access, the credit realization period, and dummy variable of food and beverage products. The factors that influence the poverty status of micro-entrepreneurs are technical efficiency, income, KUR access, gender, number of household member, and geographical location. The results of this research can be a material consideration for the government in formulating policies.

Interactive Learning Environment Supporting Visualization in the Teaching of Probability
Authors: Lukáč Stanislav , Gavala Tadeáš
Published: August 2019

The probability is exceptional in the teaching of mathematics because students often have difficulties to understand the basic terms and the problem solving strategies. Understanding lacks of the probability concept and various types of misconceptions arise from the misleading intuition and misinterpretations of experience with the stochastic phenomena. The probability concept seems too abstract to some students therefore it is advisable to use mathematical problems based on real-life ideas, such as drug efficacy testing, tests for diagnosing of diseases in medicine, sports competitions, and games. By eliminating misconceptions and improving understanding of the problem solving strategies, it is possible to use various types of visualization to solve problems from this field of mathematics. Tables and different types of graphic diagrams can help students to understand the basic rules and problem solving techniques. This paper describes the main objectives and the structure of an interactive worksheet, prepared in spreadsheet environment, in which students are guided to use the visualization to solve probability problems. The implementation of an automatic feedback enables to evaluate the students’ answers. In the case of incorrect answer, solutions of the additional tasks using tree diagram or a tangram are recommended to the students. Students can decide which type of the visualization is more understandable for them to solve the probability of random events. Solving different task sequences using the selected types of visualization allows more learning paths for students. The final part of the paper contains an evaluation of the results and experiences of problem solving in the teaching of probability at grammar schools.
The Relationship between Anxiety and Immunity in Pediatric Oncology Patients
Authors: Papp Zsuzsanna Erzsébet , Horváth Mária-Adrienne , Kelemen Izabella , Hutanu Adina , Dobreanu Minodora
Published: August 2019

Background: Pediatric onco-hematology is not a frequently encountered medical specialty, and it influences everyday life, basic activities, and the immune system, mostly through psychosocial changes, which may affect every individual and their families differently. Anxiety is the most frequently encountered mental health disorder occurring during childhood and adolescence. The effect of stress and anxiety on the immune system is suggested by the fact that stress hormones elevate proinflammatory cytokines and subsequently lower the anti-inflammatory response.

Objective: Our main objective was to analyze the relationship between anxiety disturbance and cytokine levels in oncologic pediatric patients from Târgu Mureș in order to answer the following question: does anxiety influence immunity?

Material and methods: After testing pediatric oncology patients from the Pediatrics Clinic no. 2 of Târgu Mureș, Romania with the SCARED child test, we took blood samples from each participant. IL-6, IL-10, IL-1β, IL-12p40 and TNF-α levels were evaluated with a Human Cytokine Magnetic Panel using the xMAP technique on Flexmap 3D platform (Luminex Corporation, Austin, USA). C-reactive protein levels were determined with the BN Pro Spec nephelometer with CardioPhase hsCRP (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, GmbH, Marburg, Germany) reagent.

Results: The 46 pediatric oncology patients had 6 main diagnostic groups, the most frequent pathology was acute leukemia (58.7%) followed by malignant solid tumors (21.74%) and lymphomas (6.52%). In the anxious group (45.65%) we observed 4 of the 5 studied anxiety types: panic disorder, separation, social, and generalized anxiety. We measured the cytokine levels of all the participants from the two main groups: anxious/non-anxious. Statistical analysis (linear regression) showed statistically significant positive correlations in the anxious group related to the IL-1β and IL-6, a moderate/weak correlation related to IL-12p40, as well as a negative moderate correlation between IL-10 values in the anxious group and a positive trend in the non-anxious group.

Conclusions: Psycho-oncology is a relatively young specialty with few studies in the last two decades. IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α present high levels in anxious patients, while IL-10 and IL-12p40 have low serum levels in mental disorders. C-reactive protein levels are not influenced by anxiety.
Hybrid warfare on the Ukrainian battlefield: developing theory based on empirical evidence
Authors: Schmid Johann
Published: August 2019

With the takeover of Crimea by masked Russian soldiers/fighters without national insignia in February/March 2014, with the Kremlin at first denying its involvement, war became ‘hybrid’ in our minds. The follow-on conflict in Eastern Ukraine, with separatism supported by neighbouring countries and the armed establishment and military securing of pseudo-state people’s republics, including recourse to pro-Russian fighters ‘on holiday’, has reinforced the impression of a hybrid form of warfare, raising the question: what is hybrid warfare? This article argues that the specific nature of hybrid warfare is essentially a strategic matter characterised by three key tendencies and their orchestration within a hybrid ‘grand strategy’: 1. Focusing the decision of the war/conflict, as such, primarily on a broad spectrum of non-military centres of gravity in a flexible and dynamic manner. 2. Operating in the shadow of various interfaces against specific vulnerabilities of the opponent, thus challenging traditional lines of order and responsibilities, creating ambiguity and paralysing the decision-making process of the opponent. 3. Creative combination and parallel use of different civilian and military means and methods, categories and forms of warfare and fighting, thus creating ‘new’ mixed, hybrid forms.1 At the same time, there is a growing sense that hybrid forms of warfare will shape the face of war in the 21st century.2 They seem to offer unpretentious political success by smart recourse to limited, deniable and supposedly manageable use of force. The assumption that the risk of military escalation and political damage could be kept within limits may at the same time increase the likelihood of the offensive use of hybrid forms of warfare. For this reason, it is high time to improve our common and comprehensive understanding of hybrid forms of warfare as a precondition for common and comprehensive action in defence and response.

Published: August 2019

Background and aims:Monosodium salt of glutamic acid (MSG) is one of the most common food additives. The aim of study was to assess, in gender-specific terms, how prolonged administration of MSG effects on reactive oxygen and nitrogen species formation and the apoptotic/necrotic processes in the population of rats circulating neutrophils.

Material and methods:Experimental studies were conducted on 32 mature white rats. MSG was administered intragastrical at a dose of 30 mg/kg body weight for 30 days. The analysis of cell samples to determine neutrophils with overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and signs of apoptosis\necrosis was evaluated with flow laser cytometry method. The total nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity was determined by monitoring the rate of conversion of L-arginine into citrulline. The total quantity of NO metabolites was assessed by evaluating of nitrite and nitrate ions.

Results:We found a significant increase in generation of ROS, intensification of nitroxydergic processes, an increase in the percentage of apoptotic neutrophils and no changes in the percentage of necrotic neutrophils.

Conclusions:We observed activation of oxidative and nitroxydergic processes in rats with prolonged administration of MSG, which initiate apoptosis. In gender-specific terms, a more pronounced changes were seen in male rats.

Published: August 2019

Background and aims: Interaction between oxidative stress and inflammation has not been comprehensively investigated in the association obesity – diabetes - hypertension. Our aim was to investigate interrelations between inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers in obese women with two complications (hypertension, type 2 diabetes).

Material and Methods: 54 obese patients without complications, 46 diabetic patients with obesity, 48 hypertensive diabetic obese women, and 120 healthy controls were recruited from the department of nuclear medicine (Algeria). Inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers were assayed by appropriate methods.

Results: Inflammatory markers were significantly higher in all obese groups compared to controls. Elevated pro-oxidants and decreased antioxidant markers were noted in obese women. These alterations were accentuated when obesity was associated with hypertension and diabetes. A positive interrelationship between inflammatory mediators and oxidative status, and a negative one with antioxidants were noted during obesity. Hypertension and diabetes enhanced these correlations. Leptin, C-reactive protein, catalase, superoxide dismutase, ion superoxide, peroxynitrite were found to be the best inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers that can predict diabetes and hypertension in obese women.

Conclusions: oxidative stress and inflammation were intimately interconnected in women obesity associated with diabetes and hypertension.

Published: August 2019

The elderly people are more prone to develop psychiatric disorders due to a number of factors like changes in the brain, other illnesses etc. They represent the most vulnerable group as they are most sensitive to the effects of drugs and are at increased risk of developing adverse drug reactions. This warrants the need to make the prescribers cautious about rational prescribing of antipsychotics to the Elderly. The study included elderly inpatients and outpatients visiting psychiatry ward with psychiatric disorders. Descriptive weighed analysis was performed to determine the prescribing practices of atypical antipsychotics. Among the 70 patients who were involved in the study, 36 patients were diagnosed with neurotic disorders and 30 patients were diagnosed with psychotic disorders and 4 were diagnosed with degenerative disorders (dementia). In our study neurotic disorders (51%) were the major diagnosis. 6 different atypical antipsychotic drugs were prescribed to the patients suffering from different psychiatric disorders. Among them olanzapine (43%) was the most commonly prescribed drug, followed by quetiapine (30%), risperidone (21%), clozapine (3.2%), lurasidone (1%),  and aripiprazole (1%). This study has concluded that atypical antipsychotics are preferred over typical antipsychotics and Olanzapine is the most commonly prescribed drug for the elderly patients suffering from psychiatric disorders. On comparison of the prescribed daily doses with the maximum daily dose we have observed that the prescribed daily doses for the elderly patients were well within the maximum daily dose of the drugs and in our study no adverse drug reactions were reported in the study subjects that were involved.

The objective of proposed work was to develop Ondansetron Hydrochloride (OND HCl) sustained release matrix tablets for the better treatment of vomiting for extended period of time. Sustained release matrix tablet is the drug delivery system that is designed to achieve a prolonged therapeutic effect by continuously releasing medication over an extended period of time after administration of single dose. The matrix tablets of OND HCl were prepared by direct compression method using varying ratio of hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) and ethyl cellulose. The bends of tablets were evaluated for bulk and tapped density, % compressibility index and angle of repose and powder of all formulations blend exhibited that low interparticle friction and excellent flow characteristics. The prepared matrix tablets were then assessed for different physical tests like consistency of weight, thickness, hardness, friability, drug content and in vitro drug release. Each batch of the OND HCl matrix tablets were of good quality as to hardness, thickness, friability and % medicament content. The in vitro drug release study was done for 2 hours by utilizing paddle technique in 0.1N HCl (pH 1.2) as dissolution media and 6 hours using phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) as dissolution media. The drug release study showed that all formulation FMT-1, FMT-2, FMT-3, FMT-4, FMT-5 and FMT-6 were provide the drug release on sustained manner up to 8 hrs. Amongst the developed matrix tablets formulations, FMT-2 containing ethyl cellulose (100 mg) was optimized as best because FMT-2 show highest drug release profile and promoting the sustained release of drug, which could potentially improve the patient compliance.

O livro escolar na reinvenção política do Moçambique pós-independente
Authors: Leão Andre , Mindoso André Victorino
Published: August 2019

Com a independência e a consequente desvinculação de Moçambique do Estado português, surge a necessidade de se imaginar uma nova narrativa de nação que desse conteúdo e vida ao processo de construção de uma solidariedade nacional − uma comunidade de imaginação – ao jovem país. A Frente de Libertação de Moçambique assume o papel de elite nacionalista, função posta em discussão por este artigo, chamando a si o direito de definir o conteúdo daquilo que seria a nova narrativa de nação. Procuramos elucidar as controvérsias desta configuração do trabalho simbólico de construção de uma hegemonia política. Ou melhor, propomos analisar a forma como a elite frelimista fez uso do monopólio dos meios de comunicação como coerção simbólica, designadamente da edição e adoção de livros escolares da 4ª e 6ª classes, a fim de praticar o arbitrário cultural de uma autoimagem e sentimento de pertença à nação socialista moçambicana.

Patrimonialização do sítio histórico de Olinda
Authors: Marinho Daniel Praciano
Published: August 2019

O presente artigo elabora uma análise do processo de patrimonialização do sítio histórico da cidade de Olinda, em Pernambuco, observando de que forma agentes humanos atuaram, juntamente com políticas de imagem estatais, para transformar o imaginário do local e torná-lo um centro cultural e turístico. O texto utiliza-se, assim, da obra de Gilberto Freyre para resgatar a história social de Olinda e seus habitantes, e, em seguida, evidencia a contribuição de moradores que, a partir dos anos 60, passam a tornar o sítio histórico um refúgio artístico e boêmio, se associando a políticas locais que já buscavam investir no potencial turístico da cidade. Tendo apresentado os entrelaçamentos entre tais elementos históricos, o artigo concretiza seus argumentos a partir do estudo de três casos de estruturas presentes em Olinda que tiveram sua aparência e sua função transformadas para se adequar ao novo papel cultural e social do sítio histórico.
Precisamos de uma Base Nacional Comum Curricular?
Authors: Ribeiro William de Goes , Craveiro Clarissa Bastos
Published: August 2019

Tensões sobre currículo são constantemente reiteradas, não havendo um deslocamento do passado que ressurge anacronicamente nas políticas. Os sentidos são gerados através da circularidade dos contextos e da busca pela hegemonia. A condição de abertura da significação é o que constitui o social e nos permite pensar na hibridização de políticas curriculares recentes, as quais têm mobilizado um status de autoridade inexorável com relação à padronização. Nesse contexto, trouxemos à baila sentidos que têm se tornados hegemônicos no cenário político, como a exigência de competências e habilidades a priori para a formação de professores e de alunos.

HORIZONTE PROFESSOR
Authors: Sobral Raísa Curty Carvalheira , Gabeira Ale
Published: August 2019

As imagens que compõe o corpo desse artigo, são registros de uma ação realizada em Cumuruxatiba (BA). Horizonte Professor é uma instalação realizada na beira da praia de durante os períodos de maré baixa. O trabalho foi realizado no contexto da Residência Artística Móvel. Diferente dos trabalhos de Land Art, que baseiam-se em projetos concebidos com um protagonismo do gesto conceitual do artista, a produção da Residência Artística Móvel deriva justamente da convivência, da relação, e por vezes se configura como uma reverencia ao outro. As imagens possuem uma carga simbólica e contituem uma narrativa onde se aprende com o mar.
VOTE NU
Authors: De Albuquerque Natasha
Published: August 2019

Este artigo disserta sobre o cenário de crise política, a perplexidade ante a Arte Contemporânea e a crítica da nudez enquanto arte. O corpo é a nossa principal arma política por desafiar as amarras sociais e testar outras corporeidades. Também é proposta a disseminação da frase “VOTE NU” como uma campanha política a favor da nudez, da liberdade, do desnudamento político e social. Lutamos por uma nudez de protesto, anarquia e deboche a partir de uma estética do escândalo e de superexposição.
