Authors: Adnan Hamimah , Mohd Zahir Mas Elida , Wan Ismail Wan Norizan , Rosman Muhammad Redza 
Published: June 2020

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is one of way to encourage among the stakeholders to improve not only the society, but environment and economy of affected people. This paper aims to identify the implementation, challenges and ways to enhance Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) among G7 Contractors registered under the Malaysian Construction Industry Development Board. (CIDB in Malaysia. Quantitative and qualitative methodology were involved which involved questionnaires survey and interviews. Questionnaires were distributed to 150 respondents with 32 replied and 5 interviews were held among the respondents. The findings show that the highest level of CSR implementation is in the relationship with clients and suppliers. Most respondents agreed that the biggest challenges in implementing CSR were lack of support from top management and lack of time. It also showed that most respondents agreed that the ways to enhance the implementation of CSR were the involvement of system of governance transparency with investors and shareholders, application of policy by employees, close relationship with the clients and suppliers, concrete actions towards community and adoption of measures on the environmental impact. It is recommended for the implementation of CSR and ways to overcome the challenges needed to be enhanced to reach the highest level of implementation and every stakeholder needs to act for effective improvement to enhance the implementation.

Calorific Value of Basic Fractions of Above-Ground Biomass for Scots Pine
Authors: Petráš Rudolf , Mecko Julian , Kukla Ján , Kuklová Margita 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
In this work, the calorific value content in the dry matter of the Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) trees was evaluated. This dry matter was obtained only from the above-ground fractions of its biomass. Our experimental material was taken from five Scots pine trees situated in Slovakia. Wood and bark samples were obtained from the discs which were cut off from three locations, namely from the stem, branches of tree crowns and needles. Then, calorific value capacity (J g−1) in the dry matter of each sample was determined. The impact of statistically significant factors on the calorific value capacity was determined by means of analysis of variance. The average values are, according to the fractions, approximately in the range of 20,000–22,200 J g−1. The smallest capacity of the calorific value, approximately 20,000 J g−1, has the dry matter from bark obtained from the middle and crown parts of the stem. Then, the dry matter from stem wood and branches follows with a value of approximately 20,700 J g−1. Then follows dry matter of the coarse bark occurring on the stem butt and twigs that are covered with needles with a value of about 21,900 J g−1; and finally pine needles with the highest values of about 22,200 J g−1. The calorific value variability is relatively low with coefficients of variations of 0.9–2.8%.
What’s the value of a star? Actor familiarity and likeability effects on emotional mimicry of cinematic displays
Authors: Lotman Elen , Voodla Alan , Uusberg Andero 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Researchers and practitioners have long been intrigued by the role of stars in the film industry (McDonald 2005). Actors with star status can enhance the economic prospects of a film (Wallace et al. 1993). For instance, replacing average stars with top stars has been shown to increase revenue (Nelson, Glotfelty 2012). A meta-analysis of 61 studies collating data from 1545 films has shown the significant effect of commercial star power on Hollywood films’ revenues (Hofmann, et al. 2017). The Hollywood movie industry can be viewed as a system that maintains and regulates the popularity of existing and emerging stars through agents, producers and award systems (McDonald 2013).
Film Branding: How the Estonia 100 umbrella brand influenced production, marketing and consumption of the Estonia 100 films
Authors: Rohn Ulrike , Jaanson Karli 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The Republic of Estonia celebrated the 100th anniversary of its independence on February 24, 2018. The celebration marked a significant milestone for Estonians and, as a way of recognizing this, the Estonian government implemented different marketing and participatory strategies for involving individuals and organizations to take part in the celebration. As such, individuals and organizations were invited to create special gifts for Estonia and its citizens. These gifts could be in the form of tangible presents or in the form of special events and cultural programs. The official gifts were marked by the official Estonia 100 (in the Estonian language: EV100) logo. One such gift to the Estonian population were a number of audiovisual productions that were enabled through special funding from the Estonian government, managed by the Estonian Film Institute. These productions included, besides 40 short documentaries about young Estonian inventors, one animation, six feature films, two documentaries and a TV drama series (EV100 2019a).1 This paper reports a study that explored the impact of the Estonia 100 brand on the production, marketing and consumption of these films and the TV series.
Cloud Opera through the prism of artistic research: looking for media archaeological issues from the clouds
Authors: Keevallik Liina , Ibrus Indrek 
Published: June 2020

Abstract

Cloud Opera or The Dido Problem (Vaba Lava, Tallinn, Feb-Mar 2019) is a theatrical performance investigating, through artistic means, the human condition in the datafied world. The play was created in collaboration between Vaba Lava theatre and Tallinn University’s Centre of Excellence in Media Innovation and Digital Culture (MEDIT). In terms of its representations, the play combined references to man-made data ‘clouds’ with knowledge on atmospheric clouds and suggested that the former are just as unpredictable and uncontrollable as the latter. In this article, Liina Keevallik, the author and the scenographer of the performance together with Indrek Ibrus, a media researcher, discuss the uses of the media archaeological approach both in artistic practice and in creating “Cloud Opera”. We also discuss what media archaeological “findings” we could glean from the scenic elements of the play.
Is the Role of Public Service Media in Estonia Changing?
Authors: Jõesaar Andres , Kõuts-Klemm Ragne 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The need to re-structure established media systems needs to be acknowledged. In a situation where new services will be provided by different actors of the digital economy, the role of public service media (PSM) requires attention. If, generally, PSM are under pressure in Europe, the situation in small national markets is even more complicated. PSM are under pressure and also need to find ways to reformulate their role in society and culture. Broad discussions and new agreements between politicians, citizens and the media industry are necessary to change this situation. We will approach the question of whether a specific gap still exists in the media market that can be filled by PSM? The article will seek these answers based on various survey data and collected statistics in Estonia.
Gastrocriticism: pentru o reinterpretare a poeziei lui Emil Brumaru
Authors: Frătean Denisa-Maria 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The aim of this essay is to offer a gastrocritical analysis of Emil Brumaru's poetry, taking into consideration the symbolism of fruits, vegetables, dairy products, spices and food in general. The four main parts of the essay are based on the sensuality of the fruits, on the memories brought up by food, on dreams stirred up by spices and on the autochtonous place described by the traditional "zacusca". These, all together, will prove the fact that the gastronomical references in Brumaru's poetry are full of connotations and this is what we will try to identify by the interdisciplinar approach.
Metafora Bolii În Poezia Și Aforistica Lui Lucian Blaga
Authors: Alecu Bianca 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The present paper is focused on the metaphor of the disease in Lucian Blaga’s poetical works and aphorisms. The stylistic approach is built on Indrieș’s notion of the semantic field and on Blaga’s cultural definition of the metaphor as a way of compromising for the inability to perceive and describe the outer world. The metaphor of the disease combines the physical and the spiritual and transcends some of Blaga’s fundamental poetical themes such as death, sacredness, creative drive, and love. The paper follows two main coordinates in discussing this metaphor: positive to negative connotations (and what context triggers them) and, respectively, disease as a means of reaching divinity or becoming a sinner.
Depoetizarea Epistemologiei Lui Lucian Blaga
Authors: Ienciu Manuel-Avram 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
We often see contradictions in the works of a philosopher, these contradictions also appeared in Lucian Blaga’s epistemological system. This paper seeks to shed light on the cause of their appearance, to prove that they were not merely a mistake or an inconsistency on Blaga’s behalf, but the logical conclusion of the evolution of his epistemological system. A system cloaked in metaphor that was forced in the later stages to shed its poetic guise.
Topos Dionisiac În Antumele Lui Lucian Blaga
Authors: Szakács Lehel-Szabolcs 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the Dionysian topos in Lucian Blaga’s poetry. The zero point of our work is the concept of geocriticism. This study tries to outline the fact that the space in Blaga’s poetry features both Dionysian and Apollonian characteristics. In the center of this dichotomic space stands the symbol of the mountain – a sacred area where a whole cosmogony comes to life, based on the dialectic relationship between ascent and descent.
Cartografii Ale Memoriei În Proza Ruxandrei Cesereanu Și A Tatianei Țîbuleac
Authors: Merce Gabriela-Emilia 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The starting point of my study is represented by two works,
Grădina de sticlă
(Tatiana Țîbuleac) and
Un singur cer deasupra tuturor
(Ruxandra Cesereanu). These are two novels that organize their narrative discourse following the relation trauma-memory-identity. In fact, Tatiana Țîbuleac and Ruxandra Cesereanu emphasize in their proses how can a social identity be recreated, when everybody feels the terror enforced by the authority. In this case, when you lose everything, you become vulnerable and this feeling causes the alienation, the break. Therefore, in this paper, we will show how the memory reopens the dialogue with the past, more exactly with a traumatic past. We will illustrate also the fact that in the process of remembering the space changes the identitary their attributes.
Absurditatea Metodelor De Reeducare În Romanul „Luntrea Lui Caron”
Authors: Ana-Paula Pușcaș 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The purpose of this work is to demonstrate the absurdity of the Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist means of re-education, which left a deep imprint on the history of Romanians by condemning not only the physical but also the spiritual death of the people. In this paper I have highlighted how the process of re-education took place in many circumstances. The class of intellectuality was the one that suffered the most as a result of these events, which can also be noticed in the case of the characters Axente Creangă and Leonte Pătrașcu from "Luntrea lui Caron". Using terror as an instrument of governance, censorship, propaganda and raising their ideology to the rank of universal principle, the Bolsheviks succeeded by the absurdity of the methods to massacre the population.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is o analyze the three hypotheses of corporeality in the Blagian lyrical and to demonstrate that they coagulate around the authentic substance of the ego, which tries to suppress or diminish them from the tax, from limits to becoming one with the spirit of this world. By canceling them, they actually become consistent and participate in the modernist lyrical ceremonial.

A model neglecting the capillary and gravity forces (the Buckley — Leverett model) has been used.
Regeneration of Scots pine Pinus sylvestris L. in the Carpathians depends on site fertility
Authors: Ambroży Sławomir , Kapsa Mariusz 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The aim of this work was to determine the biometric features of Scots pine Pinus sylvestris L. regeneration in terms of their susceptibility to weather-inflicted damage. We compared the damage between three sites located in the Polish part of the Carpathians: Scots pine planted in (I) fertile sites of mountain broadleaved and mixed broadleaved forest, (II) poor sites of mountain coniferous forest and (III) sites of Scots pine natural refuges during the post-glacial period. In each of the three sites of pine regeneration, 11 research plots were established with 50 pine trees on each plot. For each tree, the following biometric measurements were taken: diameter at breast height, height, 3-year height increment, crown length and crown width measured along the contour line. The Scots pine regeneration was found to vary in terms of their biometric features depending on the site fertility. In fertile sites, the biometric parameters of the trees increased at a faster rate compared to low-fertility sites causing an increase in their susceptibility to damage by adverse weather conditions such as snow and rime. Therefore, the silvicultural risk in fertile sites is high and thus the introduction of pine for regeneration should be avoided in fertile broadleaved and mixed broadleaved forests even if pine provenances from a mountain origin are to be planted. Furthermore, tending cuts in regeneration should be made frequently, but with moderate intensity so as to avoid excessive reductions in tree density. Intensive cuts, especially in fertile sites, promote the expansion of pine crowns, which further increases the risk of damage.
DNA barcoding: A practical tool for the taxonomy and species identification of entomofauna
Authors: Szyp-Borowska Iwona , Sikora Katarzyna 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
DNA barcoding is an innovative system designed to provide rapid, accurate, and automatable species identification by using short, standardized gene regions as internal species codes. The mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase I (COI) gene was proposed by Paul Hebert as an official marker for animals, because of its small intraspecific but large interspecific variation. Since the launch of the project Barcode of Life, this simple technique has caught the interest of taxonomists, ecologists and plant-quarantine officers charged with the control of pests and invasive species.
The great diversity of insects and their importance have made this group a major target for DNA barcoding. In most cases, the identification of insect species by traditional methods based on morphological features requires specialist knowledge and is labor-intensive. DNA barcoding aims at meeting the challenge of monitoring and documenting the biodiversity of insects. The utility of DNA barcoding for identifying small insects, cryptic taxa or rare species, as well as many species of forest entomofauna that are impossible to discriminate morphologically throughout all of their life stages, is a subject discussed in this review. Due to its usefulness, also in Poland in the Forestry Research Institute, a method for identifying selected species of saproxylic beetles based on the sequence of the COI region was developed. In the future, this method will be used to assess the state of biodiversity and the naturalness of forest ecosystems. Therefore, this and other future implications of this promising new technique are also discussed here.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
Tramadol dependence became an increasing and alarming problem in the Egyptian community. Wide availability of tramadol as a pain killer and its role in the treatment of premature ejaculation may be the most apparent causes of increased magnitude of the problem among youth who believe that tramadol has a positive impact on their sexual functions. This study aimed to explore the real impact of chronic tramadol administration on sexual functions in males dependent on tramadol. The study was carried on 80 subjects (50 subjects were tramadol dependent group and 30 subjects represented the control group). Personal, family and past histories were obtained from all the participants in addition to the toxicological history from tramadol dependent group. Urine screening for tramadol was done for all cases of history of tramadol dependence then confirmation by HPLC technique to measure tramadol blood level was done. Both groups were investigated for serum testosterone and prolactin level. Curiosity (22%) and treatment of premature ejaculation (20%) were the main motives for dependence. Erectile dysfunction and decreased libido occurred in 44% and 48% of tramadol dependent group respectively. Significant increase in erectile dysfunction and decreased libido was noted as the duration of dependence increased. Additionally, significant decrease in serum testosterone level and increase in serum prolactin level as tramadol daily dose and duration increased was found. In conclusion, men who take tramadol for premature ejaculation or any other purpose must know that they are very susceptible to many sexual dysfunctions.
Language for special purposes and the research of its vocabulary
Authors: Levická Jana , Zumrík Miroslav 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
The aim of the paper is to touch upon the complexity of LSP-related research and to sketch some of its important terminological and methodological issues. The paper also provides an overview of the history, themes, discussions, approaches and outputs in the contemporary LSP-research mainly in French and German speaking countries, but also including a selection of Czech and English authors. The contribution presents a variety of ways how the concept of LSP has been defined in linguistics in the last 50 years, as well as descriptive and modeling efforts with respect to the stratification of LSP. The paper pays special attention to the issue and concept of the so-called Basic Scientific Vocabulary, that is, its various names, definitions and research projects aimed at identifying such a vocabulary, or even, as is the case with German research tradition, a genuine sub-language. The paper concludes with a picture of some French, German and other LSP-related projects that have been launched in the last decades in the direction of corpus-based and -driven research. This tendency shows the importance of rich empirical material (corpora) not only as a foundation for further linguistic research in LSP, but also a basis for the lexicographical and terminographical research.
“Here’s to you, dear Janko, on your birthday...” On the ways of addressing people in Slovak (and something over and above that)
Authors: Nábělková Mira 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Ján Bosák’s passing away before reaching of his 80th birthday has given an impulse for a reflection on the ways of addressing people in Slovak, with special regard to vocative and non-vocative forms of the name Ján [Slovak equivalent of John]. The attention is partially also given to comparison with Czech – in contrast to standard Slovak where vocative forms have declined similarly as in the dialects of Central Slovakia, the vocative forms in standard Czech are still alive. Besides the use of nominative hypocoristic/diminutive forms Jano, Janko, Janík, Janíčko as common ways of addressing people, the study also mentions the use of a compound addressing with possessive pronoun in post-position (Jano môj, Janko/Janík/Janíčko môj) which represents a specific substitute for the vocative forms in Slovak. In addition, the study deals with the vitality of vocative case in Slovak dialects and in common communication. It also offers a few probes into “textual life” of the historic vocative form Jane, especially in ethnoculturally rare Slovak midsummer songs (e.g. Jane, Jane, Vajane) and in the spiritual poetry of Ján Hollý.
Analysis of Electric Vehicles Efficiency and their Influence on Environmental Pollution
Authors: Karczewski Mirosław , Szczęch Leszek , Polak Filip , Brodowski Szymon 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Electric vehicles are increasingly present on the roads of the whole world. They have the opinion of ecological vehicles, not polluting the environment. Society is more and more often persuaded to buy electric cars as an environmentally friendly solution but is this for sure? Electric cars need quite a lot of electricity accumulated in batteries to drive on a long range. During the charging process, this energy is obtained from the electricity network, to where it is supplied by power plant. Electricity production from renewable sources is a privilege for the rare. However, electric cars are charged from the electricity grid, which in large part energy comes from non-renewable fuels. The efficiency of energy production in power plants and the energy transmission and conversion chain causes that only part of the energy produced in this way goes to the vehicle’s wheels. Although the power plants are equipped with more and more efficient exhaust gas cleaning systems, they do not clean them up to 100%. Sulphur, nitrogen, mercury and heavy metals remain in the exhaust. The article is an attempt to answer the question whether the total emission of toxic components associated with the use of an electric vehicle is not bigger than in a traditional internal combustion engine.
