Published: January 2020

This present paper focuses on the pedagogical aspects of parents’ thinking in order to get acquainted with the ideal mindset for supporting the development of entrepreneurial competence, one of the key competencies of the 21st century. Our quantitative research applied a questionnaire with 101 items and a reliability of Cronbach-α=0.856, N=1,146. Respondents from different regions and social classes in Hungary filled in the forms. Results indicate that parents are aware of the 21st century ideal; however, their educational views suggest conservative practice, which is not as supportive for the formation of entrepreneurial skills.
Investigating boredom among EFL teachers
Authors: Dumančić Dino
Published: January 2020

The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate boredom among Croatian primary and secondary school teachers of English. The data was gathered by means of an open-ended survey that focused on the teachers’ experiences with classroom boredom. The findings pointed to different causes of boredom in the Croatian FLT context, such as grammar tasks and uninteresting subject matter. Croatian teachers reported various manifestations of boredom, i.e. cognitive and motivational, as well as diverse emotion regulation strategies employed, such as introducing new content or engaging in physical activity. Majority of the teachers stated that boredom did not affect their instructional quality, however there were those who reported having observed adverse effects in their classrooms.
Adjusting Bank Recruitment to the Specifics of the Millennial Generation as Conditions of Attractiveness Decline for Employment in the Banking Sector
Authors: Momot Volodymyr , Lytvynenko Olena
Published: January 2020

The article discusses the problems of commercial banks related to the deterioration of their image as employers, especially in eyes of the millennial generation, which soon will become the most attractive category for employment in modern business. The main criteria that guide the millennial generation when choosing a future job are identified. A detailed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of banks as employers has been carried out, and advice for image improvement has been formulated, aimed at the young audiences of potential bank employees. It was proven that banks should build not only an effective PR campaign to create a powerful image of a reliable employer, but at the same time they should establish a reliable system to counteract unfair competition, ultimately aimed at destabilizing financial institutions, which are most sensitive to image problems.
Corportate Diversification and CEO Compensation: Evidence from the Moderating Effect of Stock Ownership
Authors: Wang Hwei Cheng , Lou Yung-I , Venezia Chiulien C. , Buzzetto-Hollywood Nicole A.
Published: January 2020

The article is an attempt to assess whether Stock Ownership moderates the relationship between corporate diversification and CEO compensation. Based on agency theory, we develop the hypothesis of whether when CEOs hold a large fraction of their firms’ outstanding stock, the CEOs are acting more as owners or shareholders than employees. This reduces the principal and agency relationship of agency theory, since CEOs are acting as owners rather than employees; thus the demand for further stock-based compensation is likely to be reduced because the interests of CEOs and shareholders are relatively aligned. For the purposes of this study, a sample of 2,448 CEO compensations across 1,622 firms from 1997 to 2002 was used to test several hypotheses. Corporate diversification was divided into two categories; international diversification and industry diversification. To test the hypotheses, multiple regression analysis was employed to examine stock ownership as a moderator variable on the relationship between international diversification and industry diversification and CEO total compensation with tenure, age, duality, and gender as control variables. The results indicate that stock ownership negatively and significantly influences the relationship between International diversification and CEO compensation. Additionally, the findings also confirm that stock ownership negatively and significantly influences the relationship between industrial diversification and CEO compensation. Our results are consistent with our hypotheses and indicate that firms with lower Stock Ownership produce larger interaction effects to increase international diversification and total compensation pay to CEOs, and firms with lower Stock Ownership, produce larger interaction effects to increase industry diversification and total compensation pay to CEOs.
Computerization of cartographic publishing activity – an outline of the problem exemplified by the former monopolist in Poland
Authors: Konopska Beata
Published: January 2020

The post-1989 transition from a centrally planned economy to a free-market economy generated new investment opportunities in Poland, heavily impacted by computerization. The article analyses the genesis, course and effects of implementation of computerization in a cartographic publishing house which spent several decades operating on a typical Central and Eastern European market. It also highlights the multi-dimensional nature of this process, presenting it in the context of political and socio-economic changes. The author indicates that the factors hindering efficient implementation of computerization were the very qualities which in the past determined the enterprise’s market potential: a great reserve of source and technical materials for publishing maps, efficient technological facilities, experienced employees and the management who sought modernization, but underestimated the potential of computerization and had to deal with its own psychological barriers related to the issue.
The Privacy Policy Landscape After the GDPR
Authors: Linden Thomas , Khandelwal Rishabh , Harkous Hamza , Fawaz Kassem
Published: January 2020

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is one of the most demanding and comprehensive privacy regulations of all time. A year after it went into effect, we study its impact on the landscape of privacy policies online. We conduct the first longitudinal, in-depth, and at-scale assessment of privacy policies before and after the GDPR. We gauge the complete consumption cycle of these policies, from the first user impressions until the compliance assessment. We create a diverse corpus of two sets of 6,278 unique English-language privacy policies from inside and outside the EU, covering their pre-GDPR and the post-GDPR versions. The results of our tests and analyses suggest that the GDPR has been a catalyst for a major overhaul of the privacy policies inside and outside the EU. This overhaul of the policies, manifesting in extensive textual changes, especially for the EU-based websites, comes at mixed benefits to the users.

While the privacy policies have become considerably longer, our user study with 470 participants on Amazon MTurk indicates a significant improvement in the visual representation of privacy policies from the users’ perspective for the EU websites. We further develop a new workflow for the automated assessment of requirements in privacy policies. Using this workflow, we show that privacy policies cover more data practices and are more consistent with seven compliance requirements post the GDPR. We also assess how transparent the organizations are with their privacy practices by performing specificity analysis. In this analysis, we find evidence for positive changes triggered by the GDPR, with the specificity level improving on average. Still, we find the landscape of privacy policies to be in a transitional phase; many policies still do not meet several key GDPR requirements or their improved coverage comes with reduced specificity.
SqORAM: Read-Optimized Sequential Write-Only Oblivious RAM
Authors: Chakraborti Anrin , Sion Radu
Published: January 2020

Oblivious RAMs (ORAMs) allow a client to access data from an untrusted storage device without revealing the access patterns. Typically, the ORAM adversary can observe both read and write accesses. Write-only ORAMs target a more practical, multi-snapshot adversary only monitoring client writes – typical for plausible deniability and censorship-resilient systems. This allows write-only ORAMs to achieve significantly-better asymptotic performance. However, these apparent gains do not materialize in real deployments primarily due to the random data placement strategies used to break correlations between logical and physical names-paces, a required property for write access privacy. Random access performs poorly on both rotational disks and SSDs (often increasing wear significantly, and interfering with wear-leveling mechanisms).

In this work, we introduce SqORAM, a new locality-preserving write-only ORAM that preserves write access privacy without requiring random data access. Data blocks close to each other in the logical domain land in close proximity on the physical media. Importantly, SqORAM maintains this data locality property over time, significantly increasing read throughput.

A full Linux kernel-level implementation of SqORAM is 100x faster than non locality-preserving solutions for standard workloads and is 60-100% faster than the state-of-the-art for typical file system workloads.
Website Fingerprinting with Website Oracles
Authors: Pulls Tobias , Dahlberg Rasmus
Published: January 2020

Website Fingerprinting (WF) attacks are a subset of traffic analysis attacks where a local passive attacker attempts to infer which websites a target victim is visiting over an encrypted tunnel, such as the anonymity network Tor. We introduce the security notion of a Website Oracle (WO) that gives a WF attacker the capability to determine whether a particular monitored website was among the websites visited by Tor clients at the time of a victim’s trace. Our simulations show that combining a WO with a WF attack—which we refer to as a WF+WO attack—significantly reduces false positives for about half of all website visits and for the vast majority of websites visited over Tor. The measured false positive rate is on the order one false positive per million classified website trace for websites around Alexa rank 10,000. Less popular monitored websites show orders of magnitude lower false positive rates.

We argue that WOs are inherent to the setting of anonymity networks and should be an assumed capability of attackers when assessing WF attacks and defenses. Sources of WOs are abundant and available to a wide range of realistic attackers, e.g., due to the use of DNS, OCSP, and real-time bidding for online advertisement on the Internet, as well as the abundance of middleboxes and access logs. Access to a WO indicates that the evaluation of WF defenses in the open world should focus on the highest possible recall an attacker can achieve. Our simulations show that augmenting the Deep Fingerprinting WF attack by Sirinam et al. [60] with access to a WO significantly improves the attack against five state-of-the-art WF defenses, rendering some of them largely ineffective in this new WF+WO setting.

Development of Graphical Interface System for Inverted Pendulum Stabilization
Authors: Susanto Erwin
Published: January 2020

Currently, most of basic control engineering lectures teach both mathematic model and control of an inverted pendulum to explain stability problems in dynamic systems. The inverted pendulum system is a pendulum controlled with a certain force in order to stand in balance around vertical equilibrium line. Hence this system is a highly unstable system and needs stabilization methods using a  kind of controller. This paper describes how to design a Proportional Derivative Integral (PID) controller via root locus technique to stabilize it and realization of its interface system for monitoring angle trajectory. This visualization is needed to observe the stability and  effectiveness of its mathematic model and control design. Experimental results and analysis show that control design and interface system can be implemented well.

Published: January 2020

Dictionary of medicine in the form of a thick book has many disadvantages, one of which is impractical. This is the reason for Indonesian developers to create drugs e-Dictionary. But the drugs e-Dictionary that has been developed is still in the form of a letter index so that users must search the terms one by one in sequential order. This has become so inefficient and ineffective that it is necessary to add a search function and query suggestion feature to the drug e-dictionary. The purpose of this study is to build a query suggestion facility on drugs e-Dictionary using the Levenshtein Distance algorithm. The stages of this research consist of the Development of web-based drugs e-Dictionary, Implementation of the Levenshtein Distance Algorithm, Query Suggestion Testing, and Usage. Based on the results of the implementation of the Levenshtein Distance algorithm and test results, Drugs e-Dictionary can evaluate words that are not in the database. The query suggestion function works by producing the closest word output contained in the database.

In medical sciences, toxicity is an area wherein extensive studies have been carried to improve the diseases as well as to prevent. So, there is a high requirement for novel and improved alternative therapeutic strategies to manage diseases. The liver is the largest gland in the body, which executes several important mechanisms; it stores minerals and vitamins and releases them in periods of need. The main aim of this study was to give a closer insight into potent non- toxic compounds that is capable of modifying the responses. Animals were divided into five equal groups viz control (Group 1), administered with food and water ad libitum, (Group 2) administered with olive oil, (Group 3) administered with zingerone, (Group 4) administered with concanavalin A, (Group 5) administered with cyclosporine A followed by zingerone. Our results revealed significant changes in liver marker enzymes and liver histology of zingerone treated rats when compared to control rats.  A corollary, zingerone has no toxic effect on hepatocytes and was found to be safe at a dose of 10mg/kg b wt and also ameliorates hepatotoxicity.

Published: January 2020

To assess the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the powder sample derived from the ethyl acetate fraction of the floral Argemone mexicana L. For antioxidant efficiency, the floral extract was evaluated using 1, 1–diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay and the FRC (Ferric Reduction Capacity) assay. In vitro anti-inflammatory activity was assessed using human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the production method of nitric oxide (NO). The powder sample extracted from ethyl acetate fraction of the floral of Argemone Mexicana L showed good antioxidant activity with the comparative standard sample in scavenging DPPH radicals and in FRC assay. In the cell viability (PBMC influenced by LPS) method and the Nitric oxide (NO) assay, this sample showed even able anti-inflammative activities. Such results indicate a significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in the powder sample obtained from ethyl acetate fraction in the flower of Argemone mexicana L.
Evaluation of anti-inflammatory property of the roots of Borassus flabellifer
Authors: Natarajan K  , Sangeetha R
Published: January 2020

Inflammation is a defense mechanism triggered by several agents and is observed as a co-morbid condition in various diseases such as cancer and diabetes. Chronic inflammation may lead to organ damage and mortality, and hence synthetic inflammatory agents are administered to cure inflammation. These synthetic drugs induce undesirable side effects, and hence natural agents are preferred. Plants have significant anti-inflammatory potential, and this study intended to assess the anti-inflammatory potential of the hydroalcoholic extract of the root of Borassus flabellifer (REBF). The evaluation was done using in-vitro models like inhibition of hemolysis and denaturation of proteins.  The activity of the extract was compared with that of diclofenac, the standard drug of choice. The study results revealed that 800 μg of REBF inhibits hemolysis by 50%. The IC 50 of REBF in manifesting hypotonicity induced hemolysis and heat-induced hemolyses was 2.26 mg and 820 μg. The IC50 of REBF required to inhibit protein denaturation was 2.1 mg. All the assay models reveal that the effect of REBF is comparable to that of diclofenac, and thus REBF is a potent anti-inflammatory agent.

Published: January 2020

Stress in the present world is an indivisible piece of life, regardless of social position and status. It is definitely experienced by all in different magnitude in daily life. Burnout is characterized as a negative mental encounter that is responses to work-related pressure. It relates to emotions experienced that require repeated exposure to emotionally charged social situations. In this manner, it is a work-related risk to which all individuals are uncovered, including teachers. The teaching profession is under large occupational pressure and prone to job burnout. The study aims to (i) assess the level of occupational burnout and stress among teachers of private and fully aided schools in the post-test for the experimental and control groups. (ii) to determine the effectiveness of autogenic relaxation on occupational burnout and stress among teachers of private and fully aided schools. A quantitative research approach with a True experimental design with experimental and control group, pre-test - post-test control group design was adopted for this study. The study focused on the selected schools in Vellore district. Totally, 28 participants selected by consecutive sampling techniques with the age of 25-60 years. Based on the inclusion criteria and availability of teachers, they were allocated into the control group (n=14) and experimental group (n=14).Demographic variables, occupational burnout, stress were assessed by using (Maslach burnout inventory and teacher stress inventory) it was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. Stress management program by autogenic training once a week for 6 weeks was given. This program was prepared based on existing research and studies. We found that the median value in the pre-test is significantly different from the median value in the post-test for Maslach Burnout Inventory; the median value is significantly different for the emotional exhaustion sub-scale (t=216 and P=0.02).

O presente estudo investigou a percepção de licenciandos em Matemática sobre do uso do aplicativo Plickers como ferramenta avaliativa de aprendizagem a partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa configurada como participante, fazendo o uso de questionários e observação participante. Os 11 sujeitos da pesquisa realizaram uma avaliação formativa utilizando o aplicativo e, logo após, o avaliaram técnica e pedagogicamente. Os resultados evidenciaram o interesse dos acadêmicos em utilizar o Plickers, na qual indicaram poucas dificuldades de operacionalização e, na medida em que a tarefa era desenvolvida, adotaram uma postura crítica-reflexiva. Verificamos que o Plickers pode se constituir em uma ferramenta tecnológica relevante para as aulas de Matemática e percebemos que pesquisas como estas vão além da avaliação do recurso, contribuindo na formação inicial de professores, dado que possibilitam um olhar crítico diante da tarefa realizada, que neste estudo, estava voltada para os aspectos acerca de novas possibilidades avaliativas da aprendizagem.

Published: January 2020

The aim of the study was to establish possible differences in both
aerobic and anaerobic fitness parameters among different positions (point
guards, guards and small forwards, and power forwards and centers) in
basketball. Based on previous research on certain differences among play
positions in basketball, aerobic and anaerobic fitness capacity values of
basketballers in different positions were analyzed. Seventy adult basketball
players (age 24.37±4.05 years) from the Croatian Division 1 league were
classified as point guards (n=20), shooting guards and small forwards (n=26),
and power forwards and centers (n=24). Six
variables of cardiopulmonary function were obtained using spirometry and
spiroergometry test. Regarding aerobic abilities, a significant
difference among the three positions was found only in the VO2max
parameters (p=.00) in favor of power forwards and centers (5.55± 0.6 l/min) when compared
to point guards (4.7±
0.6 l/min) and shooting guards and small forwards (5.01±0.6 l/min). No
significant difference was found in the Croatian basketballers’ anaerobic
capacity parameters among the three different play positions.

Published: January 2020

Objective: The purpose of this study is to check how regional wealth disparity affects urban and rural schooling in Punjab. It is an effort to explore the influence of wealth disparity between the districts of Punjab on school enrolment of children 3-4 and 5-9 years age group using micro data-sets of cluster survey in 2007-08, 2011 and 2014 in Pakistan.

Methodology: This study uses the probit model and the principal component analysis to check district wealth disparity in Punjab, Pakistan.

Findings: The principal variable i.e., socioeconomic disparity influences the school attendance severely in Punjab, however it affects more the rural areas.

Practical Implications: The sliding down the disparity desires equivalent distribution of funds from government of Punjab to the districts. The policy objective is to highlight the development of the districts of Punjab.

Originality: This study creates the district wealth disparity index with various formula and principal component analysis to check how regional wealth disparities affect schooling.
Estructuras narrativas efímeras. Resonancias y ecos del pabellón en Sonsbeek de Aldo van Eyck en el pabellón para la Expo de Hannover de Peter Zumthor
Authors: Sonntag Franca Alexandra , Montoro Coso Ricardo
Published: January 2020

En 1995; varios años antes de la inauguración de la Expo Universal en el año 2.000 en Hannover bajo el tema “Hombre, naturaleza y tecnología; origen de un nuevo mundo”; las autoridades helvéticas toman la decisión de convocar un concurso de ideas para seleccionar el mejor proyecto para representar a su país en dicha cita. Entre más de cien proyectos presentados para un pabellón efímero; el ganador de la segunda y definitiva fase fue la propuesta presentada por Peter Zumthor bajo el lema Batterie. Alejado del concepto de contenedor con contenido; numerosas veces replicado en este tipo de muestras, la propuesta germinará desde la experiencia al recorrer sus espacios entre una serie de apilamientos de listones de madera. Un “pentagrama” temporal donde diferentes notas y tonos brotan de la secuencia. Esta melodía arquitectónica tiene algunos acordes reconocibles en otro pabellón, el original de Aldo van Eyck inaugurado en 1965 en Sonsbeek. Espacios entre muros, entre paredes; resonancias y ecos fugaces entre ambas propuestas expositivas.
Permanencias de la Venecia fugaz: tres actos y un epílogo en la escenografía urbana de San Marcos
Authors: García Pérez Francisco Antonio
Published: January 2020

Se aborda el estudio de tres sucesos efímeros acaecidos en el espacio urbano más escenográfico de la ciudad de Venecia: la corta vida de una fuente construida en la Piazza de San Marcos en 1884, la inesperada caída del Campanile en 1902 y el concierto multitudinario que sobre un escenario flotante ofreció Pink Floyd en 1989. Se argumenta que cada uno de estos tres acontecimientos dejó al descubierto una serie de cuestiones relativas al tratamiento del patrimonio arquitectónico y urbano que marcarán el futuro de la imagen de la ciudad de los canales.
El Pabellón de Venecia de Claude Parent (1970): huellas teóricas y legado conceptual de la Fonction Oblique
Authors: Moreno Moreno María Pura
Published: January 2020

En las vanguardias artísticas del s.XX, la abstracción propició la visión oblicua y asimétrica gracias a una mirada ajena a frontalidades que relegaran la importancia del binomio espacio - tiempo. El equilibrio entre peso e ingravidez, o estatismo e inestabilidad, protagonizó movimientos como el Constructivismo Ruso, el Neoplasticismo, el Elementalismo o el Suprematismo. Ciertas utopías espaciales posteriores, como la desarrollada por el grupo francés Architecture Principe, en el contexto cultural del Mayo del 68 francés, heredaron aquel legado teórico proponiendo desafiar el orden espacial establecido a través de su Teoría de la “Fonction Oblique”. Su ámbito dimensional, reflejado en su ambicioso grafismo, abarcaba desde lo territorial hasta lo doméstico. Sin embargo, su fundamento conceptual quedó materializado de manera más literal en experimentos de escala reducida, como el Pabellón Francés de la 35 Bienal de Venecia de 1970. Este artículo identificará los precedentes teóricos de la experiencia sensorial ofrecida por aquel espacio efímero, cuyo fundamento principal era el cuestionamiento de las directrices cartesianas de sus envolventes arquitectónicas -suelo, pared y techo- y su fusión indiscriminada. El análisis crítico de este Pabellón, realizado por Claude Parent integrando arquitectura y arte bajo el paradigma de lo oblicuo, permitirá cuestionar si arquitecturas contemporáneas siguen desarrollando aquel legado conceptual, y si a otras escalas ha dejado de ser tan utópico como entonces, y si tiene incluso más sentido.
Mega events and the restoration of urban land
Authors: Wilson Mark
Published: January 2020

One of the most productive uses of ephemeral events like the Olympics, Expos and FIFA World Cup is to use them to produce a better city. These events often require considerable changes in land use and investments in infrastructure that need to serve not only the event but also future needs as well. One valuable urban application is to reuse polluted or aging industrial land and turn it into a city asset. Brownfield development as part of mega events can lead to reclamation of beaches and waterfronts, and the use of industrial land for commercial and residential use. Examples drawn from recent mega events illustrate how careful planning can leave an event legacy of improved land use and quality of life.

Business is a sector that is practiced by everyone, one reason why many people who are struggling in this sector is driven by their desire to live in prosperity. There is a lot of understanding out there that says that business ethics don't have to be involved, because it will hinder income be earned. This research is a research library with descriptive approaches, which are describing the analysis of Business Ethics: Analysis Of Al-Ghazali's Economic Thought With Sufism Approach. The method of collecting data in this study is documentation, journals and books. Then analyzed using content analysis, which is by analyzing the library data that is descriptive or scientific analysis of the message premise. Data analysis methods are deductive, inductive and comparative. understanding of Al-Ghazali (450-505) regarding the function of ethics in business. According to him, ethics is very important to be included in business activities. We find many ideas like this in some of the phenomenal works, especially in the book Ihya Ulum al-Din. In that case the writer tries to trace some works related to his thoughts, with great hope that he will get the whole idea about ethics in business
Dehydration of bioethanol with both pure ionic liquids and an ionic liquid anchored to mesoporous silica: A comparative study
Authors: Carreño-Díaz Luz A.
Published: January 2020

Bioethanol is produced by the fermentation of different raw materials; anhydrous ethanol is used as biofuel. This article reports the study of the dehydration of bioethanol by breaking the azeotrope, using ionic liquids as entrainers. Three ionic liquids (LIs) [EMIM][Cl], [EMIM][OAc], and [BMIM][Cl] were tested as entrainers; the behavior of ternary mixes of bioethanol-water-LI were evaluated through the activity coefficients and the relative volatility of bioethanol at 80°C and atmospheric pressure. In this first study it was concluded that the [EMIM][Cl] was the most effective IL for dehydration purposes: bioethanol (93.45 % v/v) after three cycles of extraction was (99.20 % v/v) when a mass ratio bioethanol-IL of 0.55 was used.

Based on the first study, a composite was prepared by anchoring the LI 1-ethyl-(3-trimethoxysilil) propyl imidazolium chloride to mesoporous SiO2. The composite was characterized and it has been confirmed that there is a covalent bond between the IL and the matrix. The material was tested as dehydrating agent; results of these two studies were compared and showed that the pure ionic liquids could be used as entrainers in extractive distillations, breaking water-ethanol azeotrope, also showing the same ionic liquids able to be anchored to matrices as solid composites for dehydration, offering additional advantages such as selectivity, less time consuming, recyclability, and significantly diminishes (84%), the requirement for the amount of the IL.
