Coping with the Exceptional Economic Problems in Turkey: A Field Survey on SMES
Authors: Özen Ercan 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Developing countries need higher economic growth to reach the level of developed countries. When developing countries exceed the potential economic growth, problems, such as, high external debt and high current deficit emerge. Such situations increase the financial risk of the country; in addition, international political risks, fluctuations in capital inflows and some manipulative movements have subjected countries to extreme exchange rate fluctuations. Purposes of this research: (1) to uncover the impact of high exchange rate volatility on small business activities and (2) to determine whether the level of exposure of the exchange rate shock on business owners varies by age. The methodology of the study involved a survey administered to 390 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The findings of the study show that after a period of significant exchange rate fluctuations, business activities were negatively affected, sales decreased, and job cuts increased. On the other hand, the exchange rate effect was mostly felt by all business owners of different ages. According to the study, it can be concluded that small enterprises are vulnerable to rising exchange rate volatility. The effect on SMEs with more work experience is not different. In order to alleviate the effects of adverse exchange rate movements, enterprises should be more cautious in their activities. Two suggestions can be made at this point: (i) Governments should follow optimal growth policies and (ii) Small businesses that have an important place in the economy should be made aware of the exchange rate risk and crisis management.
Analysis of the Volume and Provenance of Direct Foreign Investments in the West Region for Development in Romania, with a Focus on German Direct Investments
Authors: Földi Norbert 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
This article is a multicriterial analysis of foreign direct investments in the West Region of Development of Romania, with a focus on German direct investments, taking into account the 4 component counties of Western Development Region: Arad, Caras-Severin, Hunedoara and Timis. The analysis investigates 2 reference years, 2010 and 2016, with statistical data retrieved from the National Trade Register Office, the National Commission for Strategy and Prognosis and www.listafirme.ro, to which are added the author’s own calculations. Conclusions are drawn for each of the considered criteria. For the German industry, Romania has affirmed itself in the last few years as being a direct investment market with a high strategic growth potential. Germany has become, both in exports and imports, one of Romania’s most important business partners. The business relationships between the companies which play an important role in the economic system of the two countries represent a useful tool for the developments of the Romanian-German trade flows. In the case of direct foreign investments, the enterprises show a consolidated presence in several regions of Romania. German investors have shown an increased interest for Romania especially since the end of the 90s of the last millenium. Internationally renowned companies from Germany, such as: Continental, Bosch, Daimler, INA Schaeffler and Kaufland have extended their production activity areas in Romania. The West Region of Development of Romania progressed in a special manner because it is a region with a great desire to collaborate with Germany both geographically, as well as cultural-historically.
Habitat Preference of Phaeophyceae Species: Iyengaria stellata (Børgesen) Børgesen (1939) in Gujarat Coast (India)
Authors: Sanghvi Dimpal , Chaudhury Nandini Ray , Jain Bhanukumar 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Many species of phaeophyta are found at Dwarka and at the Bet-Shankhodhar coast, Gujarat, India. For the study of Iyengaria stellata, the shore platform and reef flat were divided into three sections: Dwarka in i) North, ii) Centre and iii) South sections and Bet-Shankhodhar in i) West, ii) Centre and iii) East sections. I. stellata was monitored based on systematic random sampling for two years (April, 2013 to February, 2015). In the months of December and February, I. stellata was recorded with high frequencies of reef, flat zones and shore platforms. When compared to shore platform, the frequency of I. stallata was highest in coral reef and flat zones. This study supports that reef flat is very suitable for growth of I. stellata. I. stellata’s growth cycle corresponds with local winter season.
Pollination Ecology of the Species Mollugo cerviana (L.) Ser. (Molluginaceae)
Authors: Maddala Sulakshana , Aluri Jacob Solomon Raju 
Published: January 2020

Abstract

Mollugo cerviana is an annual herb which usually grows throughout the year in open dry sandy and sandy-loamy soils, but also occurs in moist habitats, especially in cultivated lands. Haplothrips uses the flowers for breeding and feeding; the feeding activity affects pollination. The flowers have specialized floral structural and functional behaviours for self-induced and spontaneous autogamy while keeping the options open for insect pollination after anthesis; it is facultative autogamous which is reflected in pollen-ovule ratio and natural fruit and seed set rates. Seed dispersal modes include anemochory, ombrohydrochory and hydrochory.
Is Peniculus Fistula Fistula Nordmann, 1832 Reported On Coryphaena hippurus Linnaeus, 1758 From Turkey? Updated Data with Further Comments And Considerations
Authors: Öktener Ahmet , Şirin Murat 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
53 striped surmullet, Mullus surmuletus Linnaeus, 1758 (Teleostei, Mullidae), were collected from the Marmara Sea, Turkey and examined for metazoan parasites in July 2017. The parasitic copepod, Peniculus fistula fistula Nordmann, 1832 (Pennellidae), was collected from all the hosts, both on fins and body surface. This is the second report of this copepod in Turkish marine waters. Although Peniculus fistula fistula was reported for the first time on Coryphaena hippurus Linnaeus, 1758 by Öktener (2008), there was an indefiniteness and doubt about the occurrence of this parasite. This study aimed to confirm occurrence of Peniculus fistula fistula in Turkey and to present revised host list with comments.
A Return to the Ghanaian Cultural Values of Closed Fishing Season in Ghana’s Artisanal Marine Fishing: An Essential Means of Restoring Small Pelagic Fish Stocks
Authors: Adom Dickson , Sekyere Paul Appiah , Yarney Lily 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Closed fishing season for artisanal and inshore fishing is an effective management measure for restoring the fish stock. The study aimed at assessing the impacts of the closed fishing season observed in the Sekondi harbour in Ghana. The findings revealed that the one month closure period was too short and/or lack of strict supervision to realize any significant change in fish population and sizes. A more transparent discussion on the period for the closure, longer closure period up to three months as well as provision of alternative sources of livelihood were suggested to ensure more cooperation from the fisher folks.

Published: January 2020

This study aims to describe the results of the Resource Efficiency and Cleaner Production (RECP) analysis based on the RECP assessment indicators from UNIDO and to give RECP recommendations based on the result of the assessment. The analysis shows that in the management of Desa Wisata Pulesari (Dewi Pule), there are three main activities that uses many resources, namely homestay, Dasa Wisma kitchen and Pendopo. The result says, inefficiencies of energy were found in kitchens and homestays. The use of energy in homestays can be saved by replacing ordinary lamps with LED lights. Efficiency in the kitchen can be done by using magnets on the gas hose and using a healthy energy efficient stove (TSHE) stove. From the results of these recommendations, Dewi Pule has the potential to reduce carbon by 65,279.9 CO2eq kg / year and in terms of economy Dewi Pule has the potential to save a total of IDR 33,412,106 / year. The assessment and application of RECP in a tourism village requires adjustments to the indicators. This is because the character of the resources and energy use in tourism villages is very different from the industries that have implemented the RECP method from UNIDO.

Measles recognition during measles outbreak at a paediatric university hospital, Austria, January to February 2017
Authors: Kohlmaier Benno , Schweintzger Nina A , Zenz Werner 
Published: January 2020

Recognition of measles is crucial to prevent transmissions in the hospital settings. Little is known about the level of recognition of measles and possible causes of not recognising the disease by physicians in the post-vaccine era. We report on a measles outbreak in a paediatric hospital in Austria in January to February 2017 with strikingly high numbers of not recognised cases. The extent and course of the outbreak were assessed via retrospective case finding. Thirteen confirmed measles cases were identified, two with atypical clinical picture. Of eight cases with no known epidemiological link, only one was diagnosed immediately; four were recognised with delay and three only retrospectively. Eleven typical measles cases had four ‘unrecognised visits’ to the outpatient clinic and 28 on the ward. Two atypical cases had two ‘unrecognised visits’ to the outpatient clinic and 19 on the ward.
Thirteen clinicians did not recognise typical measles (atypical cases not included). Twelve of 23 physicians involved had never encountered a patient with measles before. The direct and indirect costs related to the outbreak were calculated to be over EUR 80,000. Our findings suggest the need to establish regular training programmes about measles, including diagnostic pitfalls in paediatric hospitals.

Published: January 2020

Background
The ongoing outbreak of the recently emerged novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) poses a challenge for public health laboratories as virus isolates are unavailable while there is growing evidence that the outbreak is more widespread than initially thought, and international spread through travellers does already occur.

Aim
We aimed to develop and deploy robust diagnostic methodology for use in public health laboratory settings without having virus material available.

Methods
Here we present a validated diagnostic workflow for 2019-nCoV, its design relying on close genetic relatedness of 2019-nCoV with SARS coronavirus, making use of synthetic nucleic acid technology.

Results
The workflow reliably detects 2019-nCoV, and further discriminates 2019-nCoV from SARS-CoV. Through coordination between academic and public laboratories, we confirmed assay exclusivity based on 297 original clinical specimens containing a full spectrum of human respiratory viruses. Control material is made available through European Virus Archive – Global (EVAg), a European Union infrastructure project.

Conclusion
The present study demonstrates the enormous response capacity achieved through coordination of academic and public laboratories in national and European research networks.

Published: January 2020

Ações de reabilitação em áreas centrais urbanas através da ocupação de vazios e estruturas ociosas têm permeado as discussões sobre preservação do patrimônio arquitetônico histórico das grandes cidades. Muitas abordagens ocorrem no sentido da preservação patrimonial e desenvolvimento urbano serem encarados como antagônicos em algumas ações que almejem o progresso municipal. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo compreender como a requalificação de vazios urbanos, geralmente ligados à áreas devalor histórico, pode contribuir para a preservação da memória urbana e para o desenvolvimento da cidade. A observação de posturas adotadas, tanto em Curitiba como em outras cidades, bem como a revisão bibliográfica de estudos realizados nestes locais, contribuiu para a formação de um cabedal teórico que consiste na base desta produção acadêmica. Verifica-se que a gestão da cidade é uma atividade complexa, todas as ações preservacionistas - sejam elas de cunho histórico ou técnico - esbarram na figura do poder público e suas esferas de atuação política. Observa-se também que os desafios não se apresentam apenas no que compete a restauração física do patrimônio e estruturas obsoletas, mas também à articulação entre políticas urbanas que empreguem a ressignificação das mesmas, promovendo apropriação e diversidades de uso nas áreas de interesse.

Published: January 2020

Tomato was classified as a climacteric fruit with a fast ripening period andthen followed by the increase of fruit softening. The inhibition of fruit softening was needed to maintain the quality and shelf life of the fruit. One of the way to inhibit the tomatoes softening was calcium application. However, the best concentration and timing of calcium application for tomato was still limited. The aimed of research was to determine the best combination of concentration and time of application of calcium chloride (CaCl2) to the physicochemical of tomato. Experiment was arranged in factorial completely randomized design (CRD) with two factors and three replications. First factor was concentration of CaCl2 which consisted of 5 levels (0 M; 0.3 M; 0.6 M; 0.9 M; 1.2 M), while the second factor was application time of CaCl2 (pre- and post-harvesting). The results showed that there was no interaction between concentration and application time of CaCl2 to the physicochemical of tomatoes. Treatment of CaCl2 1.2 M could increased fruit calcium content, inhibited weight loss and fruit softness, increased total titrated acid content, and inhibited the degradation of vitamin C. The application time of CaCl2 in pre- and post-harvest was not significantly different in term of physicochemical properties. Keywords: fruit softness, quality, weight loss, shelf life, vitamin C

AbstractThe revitalization program initiated by the Peatland Restoration Agency of the Republic of Indonesia in collaboration with the Disaster Study Center of LPPM Universitas Riau is now providing new livelihood alternatives through aquaculture by utilizing the potential of local fish. This effort is at the same time to fulfill the high demand for fish in Lukun Village which is not balanced with insufficient fishing catches. Slowly, people are starting to be interested in fish farming, although not yet wholeheartedly. The interest of rubber farmers in the cultivation of local peat swamps is part of maintaining the sustainability of peat as indicated by their involvement in every activity of maintenance, maintenance and manufacture of fish pellets. In addition, this type of livelihood does not interfere with or become a threat to peat so that when there are many interested rubber farmers it will not be a problem. In addition to being offered by cultivating fish farmers are also given training to be able to produce fish pellet materials independently in order to minimize the cost of fish feed at once if the excess yield can be marketed.

Penelitian ini mengamati pola perubahan mata pencaharian petani karet pasca kebakaran di tahun 2015. Program revitalisasi yang digagas oleh Badan Restorasi Gambut Republik Indonesia bekerjasama dengan Pusat Studi Bencana LPPM Universitas Riau kini memberi alternatif mata pencaharian baru melalui budidaya perikanan dengan memanfaatkan potensi ikan lokal. Upaya ini sekaligus untuk memenuhi tingginya kebutuhan ikan di Desa Lukun yang tidak diimbangi dengan hasil tangkapan nelayan yang tidak mencukupi. Secara perlahan masyarakat mulai tertarik untuk budidaya ikan meskipun belum sepenuh hati. Ketertarikan petani karet terhadap budidaya ikan lokal rawa gambut merupakan bagian dari menjaga kelestarian gambut ditunjukkan dengan keterlibatan mereka dalam setiap kegiatan pemeliharaan, perawatan, dan pembuatan pelet ikan. Di samping itu jenis mata pencaharian ini tidak mengganggu atau menjadi ancaman bagi gambut sehingga apabila nantinya banyak petani-petani karet yang tertarik maka tidak akan menjadi sebuah masalah. Selain ditawarkan dengan membudidayakan ikan petani juga diberi pelatihan untuk dapat memproduksi bahan pelet ikan secara mandiri agar dapat meminimalkan biaya pakan ikan sekaligus bila berlebih hasilnya dapat dipasarkan.

El sistema económico internacional en 2019

Published: January 2020

A los 75 años de la creación del FMI y del Banco Mundial, el sistema económico internacional multilateral creado en Bretton Woods en 1944 está en crisis y la economía mundial está en una fase de crecimiento lento por el proteccionismo que ha hecho caer en decadencia la OMC. En 2019 hemos celebrado el trigésimo aniversario de la caída del Muro de Berlín sin que se vea el final de la historia que se predijo entonces sino que el sistema internacional, Europa (con las incertidumbres del brexit) y muchos países están sumidos en situaciones de malestar social, populismos y retraimiento inversor diez años después de la gran crisis de 2008. Todo ello genera pesimismo. España crece más que otros países europeos, pero el independentismo catalán, el proceso electoral semipermanente y la falta de presupuestos retienen las perspectivas.
