Authors: Chorna Marina , Buhrimenko Roman , Zonwire Austin
Published: April 2020

Introduction. Increased competition in the domestic consumer market requires retailers to find new methods of competition on the base of new market spacescreation. Purpose. Formation of strategic bases for creation of retail enterprises by new non-competitive market space. Methods. Analysis and synthesis, SPACE analysis, graphic construction, scientific abstraction. Results. The author’s vision of the strategic thinking concept as a basis for strategic transformation of an enterprise to new market space, which forms on the base of the needs of strategic self-identification, awareness of strategic risk and strategic protection, is presented. The role of strategic intuition and its essence in decision making is clarified. The comprehensive approach is proposed for determining the degree of market environment compaction and, accordingly, of competition (market lever), in which the existence of an enterprise under traditional competition laws is unlikely. On the base of comparative analysis, the feasibility of applying the principles of the SPACE coordinate system for constructingthe market lever in the following areas: market saturation, influencebranching, intellectual capacity, innovativeness is substantiated. Each direction is interpreted in meaningful criteria which are determined by the relevant indices. All indices of the market lever system are unified and standardized in their architecture, which allows their generalizing into single system and forming integral values in each of the four directions. Discussion. Interpreting the results of the market leverposition assessment, determining the necessary and sufficient boundaries of the market space (the formation of the blue and red oceans), are worth doing as they will determine the enterprise’sstrategic alternatives.
Management of innovative investment projects in housing construction
Authors: Mykytyuk Yuliia
Published: April 2020

Introduction. Housing innovation and investment projects can be characterized as projects that, with relatively small investments, can create competitive products, real increase in investment potential and investment resources of a construction organization. In modern conditions it is also necessary to strive to ensure that the implementation of innovative projects aimed at improving the economic efficiency of construction does not lead to a decrease in the quality of construction products (reliability of structures, attractiveness of architectural and structural solutions of buildings). Regardless of the direction of movement in business, the leaders of construction organizations, in the presence of interest in the development of the company inevitably come to understand the need for improvement and development of methods of managing innovative projects. This contributes to the formation of an effective corporate system of management of construction projects, adequate to the conditions prevailing in the domestic market of construction services and takes into account the peculiarities and specificity of a particular region. It should be noted that if at the level of departments (IT-orientation), or certain types of projects (for example, research and development) project management methodology is used very actively in the construction industry, then at the level of program and project portfolio management, determining their priorities, portfolio balancing etc. theoretical and practical research is not enough.The purpose. The purpose of the study is to develop theoretical provisions for managing the implementation of innovation and investment projects in housing. Results. The peculiarities of the management of innovation-investment projects in housing construction in the management of several projects are revealed. The complexity in planning and organization of interaction of various subjects (participants) of innovation-investment projects is determined. It is suggested to take into account the degree of risk in the process of implementation of innovation-investment projects. The factors influencing the effectiveness of innovation investment projects have been clarified. The directions of development of the structure of the corporate system of management and state regulation of the innovation-investment sphere of housing construction are determined. Discussion. Prospects for further research are to develop a methodology for forming an information complex of corporate project portfolio management system, which includes a set of normative documents, as well as a set of tools and methods for managing innovative projects that ensure the effective implementation of different projects of the organization under the same rules at different stages of their life cycle, allowing to improve project management system, to extend the managed range of the project lifecycle, to increase the level of integration and specialization of the Management Center.

Analysis of the development of cluster cracks in the cement paste modified by microsilica
Authors: Szeląg Maciej , Fic Stanisław
Published: April 2020

Article describes the course of research on the possibility of the application of the computer-based image analysis techniques to evaluate the structure of cluster cracks on the surface of modified cement paste. Four sets of specimens were performed, based on two Portland cements (CEM I 42,5R and CEM I 52,5R). In addition, the two series include microsilica as a substitute for 10% of cement. Cracks of samples were obtained by the sudden temperature load at the value of 250°C. Image of the cracked surface was obtained by scanning at a resolution of 2400DPI, and to digital processing and measurements ImageJ v. 1.46r software was used. To describe the structure of the cracks two stereological parameters were proposed: average cluster area (A) and average cluster perimeter (L). The aim of the work is to reference obtained results from the image analysis to the compressive and tensile strength of tested specimens. In addition, considering the structure of cement paste as a dispersion system the process of the cluster structures formation was described, which under external loads transform and affect the final properties of the composite material.

Towards global architecture. The project between technique and technology
Authors: De Capua Alberto
Published: April 2020

Environment, ecosystem, greenhouse effect emissions, public health, energy, sustainable development. This is an incomplete list of elements that are part of our daily lives, which show today’s human footprint responsibility over the health of the planet. Although these issues have been for decades on all policy statements on development the situation is not improving. Indeed, constantly, we are called to change our lifestyle and our models of well-being that are causing an exaggerated and increasing waste of energy and resources, along with the increase of the overall impact of human species on natural systems. I do believe the environment is a resource that has been exploited and neglected for too long, however I am also convinced that excessive (ab)use of certain terms, such as the concept of sustainability, has weakened its driving force and innovation. There is no doubt that the thematic areas related to the monitoring of environmental quality and sustainable development dominate the cultural and socio-economic scenery for the articulation program design and governance of the territory, but the risk we are running today is to flatten themes of 'environment only for propaganda or even worse for the market. The report is a reasoning on innovation, technology and the complexity that now accompanies any work of transformation and that should lead to a "possible future”.

Authors: Chaubey Abhay , Kumar Ajay , Grzegorczyk-Franczak Małgorzata , Szafraniec Małgorzata
Published: April 2020

The current work presents a hygrothermal analysis of laminated composite rhombic hyperbolic paraboloids. The cubic variation in displacement field together with cross curvature effects of the shell were used to solve the hygrothermal problem. Because of the parabolic variation of the transverse shear deformation, the shear correction factor was not necessary in this paper. In the mathematical model, the zero conditions of the transverse shear stress at the bottom and top of the shell were applied. The nine-noded curved isoparametric element with seven unknowns in each node was used to implement the present realistic mathematical model. The implementation of the finite element C0 (FE) of the present mathematical model was coded and performed in FORTRAN. The skew hyperbolic paraboloid on which the hygrothermal analysis was conducted had various temperatures, ply orientation, curvatures, moisture concentration, boundary conditions and thickness ratio. The paper shows that with the increase of the skew angle, the non-dimensional deflection decreases, and with the increase of moisture concentration, hygrothermal load and curvature ratio, the deflection increases. The results of the model presented in the paper were compared with other results published in the literature and were found to be consistent with them.

Server-specific add-on biometric security layer model 2 to enhance the usage of biometrics
Authors: Singh Bhanu Pratap , Singh Nirvisha
Published: April 2020

With high
paced growth in biometrics, and its easy availability to capture various
biometric features, it is emerging as one of the most
valuable technologies for multifactor authentication to verify a user’s
identity, for data security. Organizations
encourage their members to use biometrics, but they
are hesitant to use due to perceived security risks. Because of its low usage
rate, many medium and small segment organizations find it unfeasible to deploy
robust biometric systems. We propose a “server-specific add-on biometric security
layer model,” to enhance confidence in the usage of biometrics. We tested this
model via a biometric mobile app, and the survey showed a favorable response of
80%. The innovative mobile app was tested for its usability and got a score of
more than 71%. For test tool reliability, we examined the equal error rate
(EER) of the app and got a reasonably low score of 6%. The results show a good
potential of this framework to enhance users’ confidence-level in the usage of biometrics.
Higher usage rates may make deployment of biometrics more cost-effective for
many organizations to decrease their information
security risk.
Latency-Aware Offloading in Integrated Satellite Terrestrial Networks
Authors: Abderrahim Wiem , Amin Osama , Alouini Mohamed-Slim , Shihada Basem
Published: April 2020

Next-generation communication networks are expected to integrate newly-used technologies in a smart way to ensure continuous connectivity in rural areas and to alleviate the traffic load in dense regions. The prospective access network in 6G should hinge on satellite systems to take advantage of their wide coverage and high capacity.
However, adopting satellites in 6G could be hindered because of the {additional latency introduced}, which is not tolerable by all traffic types. Therefore, we propose a traffic offloading scheme that integrates both the satellite and terrestrial networks to smartly allocate the traffic between them while satisfying different traffic requirements. Specifically, the proposed scheme offloads the Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) traffic to the terrestrial backhaul to satisfy its stringent latency requirement. However, it offloads the enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) traffic to the satellite since eMBB needs high data rates but is not always sensitive to delay. Our scheme is shown to reduce the transmission delay of URLLC packets, decrease the number of dropped eMBB packets, and hence improve the network's availability. Our findings highlight that the inter-working between satellite and terrestrial networks is crucial to mitigate the expected high load on the limited terrestrial capacity.

Copper catalysis with redox-active ligands
Authors: Das Agnideep , Ren Yufeng , Hessin Cheriehan , Desage-El Murr Marine
Published: April 2020

Copper catalysis finds applications in various synthetic fields by utilizing the ability of copper to sustain mono- and bielectronic elementary steps. Further to the development of well-defined copper complexes with classical ligands such as phosphines and N-heterocyclic carbenes, a new and fast-expanding area of research is exploring the possibility of a complementing metal-centered reactivity with electronic participation by the coordination sphere. To achieve this electronic flexibility, redox-active ligands can be used to engage in a fruitful “electronic dialogue” with the metal center, and provide additional venues for electron transfer. This review aims to present the latest results in the area of copper-based cooperative catalysis with redox-active ligands.
Uniform Distribution of the Extremely Overionized Plasma Associated with the Supernova Remnant G359.1-0.5
Authors: Suzuki Hiromasa , Bamba Aya , Enokiya Rei , Yamaguchi Hiroya , Plucinsky Paul P. , Odaka Hirokazu
Published: April 2020

We report on the results of our detailed analyses on the peculiar recombining plasma of the supernova remnant (SNR) G359.1−0.5, and the interacting CO clouds. Combining Chandra and Suzaku data, we estimated the ionization state of the plasma with a careful treatment of the background spectrum. The average spectrum showed a remarkably large deviation of the electron temperature (∼0.17 keV) from the initial temperature (>16 keV), indicating that the plasma is in a highly recombination-dominant state. On the other hand, the recombination timescale (n
e
t) is comparable to those of the other recombining SNRs (∼4.2 × 1011 cm−3 s). We also searched for spatial variation of the plasma parameters, but found no significant differences. Using 12CO(J = 2–1) data obtained with NANTEN2, we found a new, plausible candidate for the interacting CO cloud, which has a line-of-sight velocity of ∼ −20 km s−1. This indicates that the SNR is located at a distance of ∼4 kpc, which is the foreground of the Galactic center, as previously reported. The associated CO cloud does not show clear spatial coincidence with the nearby GeV/TeV emission, indicating that the origins of the GeV/TeV emission are likely unrelated to G359.1−0.5.
How Does Magnetic Reconnection Drive the Early-stage Evolution of Coronal Mass Ejections?
Authors: Zhu Chunming , Qiu Jiong , Liewer Paulett , Vourlidas Angelos , Spiegel Michael , Hu Qiang
Published: April 2020

Theoretically, coronal mass ejection (CME) kinematics are related to magnetic reconnection processes in the solar corona. However, the current quantitative understanding of this relationship is based on the analysis of only a handful of events. Here we report a statistical study of 60 CME-flare events from 2010 August to 2013 December. We investigate kinematic properties of CMEs and magnetic reconnection in the low corona during the early phase of the eruptions, by combining limb observations from STEREO with simultaneous on-disk views from SDO. For a subset of 42 events with reconnection rate evaluated by the magnetic fluxes swept by the flare ribbons on the solar disk observed from SDO, we find a strong correlation between the peak CME acceleration and the peak reconnection rate. Also, the maximum velocities of relatively fast CMEs (≳600 km s−1) are positively correlated with the reconnection flux, but no such correlation is found for slow CMEs. A time-lagged correlation analysis suggests that the distribution of the time lag of CME acceleration relative to reconnection rate exhibits three peaks, approximately 10 minutes apart, and on average, acceleration-led events have smaller reconnection rates. We further compare the CME total mechanical energy with the estimated energy in the current sheet. The comparison suggests that, for small-flare events, reconnection in the current sheet alone is insufficient to fuel CMEs. Results from this study suggest that flare reconnection may dominate the acceleration of fast CMEs, but for events of slow CMEs and weak reconnection, other mechanisms may be more important.

Published: April 2020

The total solar irradiance at the top of the atmosphere is the primary source of energy of the Earth’s highly coupled atmosphere–land–ocean system. Small fluctuations of the solar flux density in scales from years to millennia could impact the energy balance of this system due to nonlinear effects. The quantification of this variability depends on absolute radiometers on board of space-based platforms. Although there has been significant improvement in the design and calibration of absolute radiometers during the last decades, the uncertainties in the measurements have not allowed us to untangle the natural and anthropogenic drivers of the observed changes of the climatic patterns appropriately. One of the critical components of the absolute radiometers is the coating of the sensor elements, which should absorb the radiation efficiently. Here we discuss the optical characteristics of ultra-black Nickel–Phosphorus (Ni–P) and its relations with the surface morphology. The ultra-black Ni–P has important unique properties such as low reflectance and uniformity of deposition in complex geometries. Ni–P multilayer was deposited by electroless on aluminum substrates. The surface was etched by oxidizing acid to produce ultra-black Ni–P. Characterization techniques were used to describe the properties of the material. We describe the directional reflectance employing the bidirectional reflectance distribution function. Additionally, we used reflectance maps to show the influence of the pores on the reflectance. Ultra-black Ni–P exhibited a high absorptance and dependence with the light incidence angle. Based on the results, the material demonstrated the opportunity of many terrestrial and space applications as a black coating absorber.

Authors: Zalli Mohd Muslim Md , Nordin Hasniza , Awang Hashim Rosna
Published: April 2020

Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is among disruptive innovations in online learning environments that attract a significant interest among students. MOOCs require learners to be actively involved and to utilize an individual process of self-regulated individual learning. The development of a measurement model for online self-regulated learning (SRL) has been found to be lacking when compared with the traditional, face-to-face context. This research has the objective of developing a model for measuring online self-regulation strategies in Malaysian MOOCs. Data collection was carried out using a sample of 384 learners in three MOOCs operated under the openlearning.com platform. A confirmatory factor analysis was executed to indicate the goodness-of-fit and validate the measurement model. Findings have shown that the measurement model and the data have a good fit after performing model modification procedures. Thus, the model is suitable for measuring online SRL in the setting of MOOC learning. Further, this study recommends several suggestions regarding the applicability of the measurement model with other variables related to teaching and learning in MOOC.

The Adult Learner in Higher Education
Authors: Balakrishnan Sumitra
Published: April 2020

Researchers and practitioners have come to understand adult learners as unique and different from child learners, and have developed different theoretical approaches, methodologies, and strategies attuned to their educational needs and life circumstances. This chapter examines the factors that impact the effectiveness of adult learning programs and classroom environments by using perspectives of education theorists. The needs of the adult learner, advantages of teaching adults, and principles that can be followed are explored with the help of Knowles' andragogy model. The importance of the classroom's eco-behavioral features—their physical and emotional environments—along with other factors that effectively facilitate the process of adult education are discussed. In this context, an adaptation of Astin's I-E-O's model is proposed to deepen the understanding of adult learning programs.

The use of computers and sophisticated technologies are on the rise, and organizations are constantly looking for ways to invest in technologies to stay ahead of the competitive market. As such, cyber security and safety measures have been put in place by the organizations to protect them from attacks and to ensure that products and services are safe. However, managing cyber security and safety is becoming more challenging in today's business because people are both a cause of cyber security incidents as well as a key part of the protection from them. It is however that non-compliance with policies and directives are major security breaches. What is not well known, however, are the reasons behind the non-compliance behaviours. This chapter seeks to explore the reasons behind the non-compliance behaviours by use of compliance assessment model (CAM). The chapter reviews a case study in a health centre and systematically assesses the reasons behind the non-compliance behaviour by using the CAM model.
Taxonomy of Login Attacks in Web Applications and Their Security Techniques Using Behavioral Biometrics
Authors: Ur Rahman Rizwan , Tomar Deepak Singh
Published: April 2020

Research into web application security is still in its initial phase. In spite of enhancements in web application development, large numbers of security issues remain unresolved. Login attacks are the most malevolent threats to the web application. Authentication is the method of confirming the stated identity of a user. Conventional authentication systems suffer from a weakness that can compromise the defense of the system. An example of such vulnerabilities is login attack. An attacker may exploit a pre-saved password or an authentication credential to log into web applications. An added problem with current authentication systems is that the authentication process is done only at the start of a session. Once the user is authenticated in the web application, the user's identity is assumed to remain the same during the lifetime of the session. This chapter examines the level login attacks that could be a threat to websites. The chapter provides a review of vulnerabilities, threats of login attacks associated with websites, and effective measures to counter them.

Designing Virtual Agents for Simulation-Based Learning in Virtual Reality
Authors: Ke Fengfeng , Dai Zhaihuan , Dai Chih-Pu , Pachman Mariya , Chaulagain Ram Sharan , Yuan Xin
Published: April 2020

In this chapter, the authors review and explore propositions, approaches, and core elements of designing virtual agents that contextualize and scaffold simulation-based learning. They start the chapter by reviewing the literature and prior research on the nature, role, design claims, and evidence of virtual agents in digital and multimedia learning environments. They then analyze the educational affordances of virtual reality (VR) for agent-supported, simulation-based learning as well as the design challenges for creating interactive virtual agents. Through an empirical design case, they describe a conceptual and design framework of creating and using virtual agents for VR simulation-based teaching training. Specifically, they provide an analytical and contextualized synthesis of core design elements, including specific design problems associated with virtual agents, the design solutions, and the patterns of transferring or scaling these design solutions to other cases of virtual agent development.
The People's Audience
Authors: Matos de Araújo Rios Ricardo
Published: April 2020

This chapter analyzes the previous ethoiscal projections of Programa Silvio Santos' (PSS) studios audience about its presenter, trying to understand—in parallel—who are the women considered as co-workers and the reasons that make them participate in the PSS and in its fandom. The data collection methodology is based on field research based on individual interviews conducted in March 2014. The ethos is understood as the image of oneself and the other, which may have a prior and discursive dimension. This image is supported by partially stable crystallized knowledge (sociodiscursive imaginary). The basic theoretical framework is composed by Morin, Sousa, and Lunardi; the notion of ethos is read in Charaudeau and Amossy. It is observed that the presenter has reached the Olympian myth curve and his ethé is based on credibility and identification.
The Futurians, Gamergate, and Fandom
Authors: Waddell Julia Crouse
Published: April 2020

From the science fiction fan clubs of the 1930s to the modern gamers, devoted fans have found one another and formed groups bonded over their shared interest. As groups formed, social identities began to emerge, distinguishing ingroups and outgroups. Social identity theory helps to explain the formation of groups as well as inevitable competition over resources and power. As technology became more sophisticated, fans were able to communicate with greater ease facilitating ingroup social identification. The inherent properties of video games reinforce both the cooperation among ingroup members as well as the rivalry with outgroups. Understanding the mechanisms within video games as well as the affordances of CMC and social media help to explain the group dynamics that support the Gamergate social identity.

Law, Equality, and Entrepreneurship Through a Gendered Lens
Authors: Sandill Shubha
Published: April 2020

An insurmountable amount of great research being done in academia rarely gets transformed into laws and policies. This can be attributed to the disconnect between academia, law/policy makers, and decision-making tables. A three-pronged approach to bridge the gap between academic scholarship, grassroots advocacy, and political activism could be instrumental in impacting socio-legal and policy reforms. Gender, as a social construct, has intersected since time immemorial with the way law and society have been organized. Law, as a hegemonic collection of practices and processes, has actively perpetuated a particular social order that did not go far enough in matching lived realities. This chapter begins with the author's efforts to examine family law and social inequality through a gendered lens by exploring marriage, divorce, and family entrepreneurship. It further outlines the ongoing debates about gender vs. diversity mainstreaming in policy realms. Lastly, it concludes with how these experiences drove the author's passion for grassroots advocacy, which finally led the author to political activism.
Intergenerational Indigenous Resilience and Navigating Academic Administration
Authors: Cote-Meek Sheila
Published: April 2020

The author has been asked a number of times about how she arrived at the role of an academic administrative leader in postsecondary education. Queries and interviews on questions such as these have provided her with an opportunity to reflect on her path into academic administration and to think more deeply about her own values and understandings about academic leadership. This chapter provides critical reflections of her experiences, understandings, and knowings from an Indigenous women's leadership lens and provides a perspective on navigating academic administration in the postsecondary environment. She intentionally weaves personal narratives as well as relevant literature to discuss the challenges and successes of navigating academic administration as an Indigenous woman. She does this because of the nature of this book and also because women in academia continue to be oppressed. Importantly, she situates the importance of staying true to core values and her own Indigeneity drawing on her own intergenerational resilience.
An Intersectional Love Story
Authors: Dickinson Joël D. , John Carla A.
Published: April 2020

As a lesbian couple working in academia, you might imagine that the authors have similar experiences. However, once you add race and ethnicity to the mix, the equation changes beyond measure. This chapter will focus on the different paths that two lesbians take to leadership positions in academia. Often referring to ourselves as “professionally gay,” the authors tell their stories from “slightly” different lenses: the White woman with a PhD who moved to a rural town for a tenure-track position and the Black woman with a Master's degree who took positions such as “assistant to the administrative assistant.”
