COMPANY CREDIBILITY: A TOOL TO TRIGGER POSITIVE CSR IMAGE IN THE CAUSE-BRAND ALLIANCE CONTEXT IN INDONESIA
Authors: Desfiandi Andi , Suman Rajest S. , S. Venkateswaran P. , Palani Kumar M. , Singh Sonia 
Published: November 2019

Purpose of study: This research aims to analyze the mediating effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) image in the effect of company credibility dimensions (trustworthiness and expertise) on participation intention, in the cause–brand alliance (CBA) context.
Methodology: The sample design which is used is purposive sampling with the sample criteria as the stakeholders of the University of Lampung, Indonesia. Data were collected by direct interview. Multiple regression analysis is used to test the hypotheses with 160 university’s stakeholders, using purposive sampling.
Result: The results show that trustworthiness and expertise have a directly positive significant effect on CSR image. However, expertise statistically has a greater positive significant effect on consumer participation intention toward the CBA than trustworthiness. This finding is contrary to the contrast-effect theoretical framework (Dean, 2003) and balance theory (Heider, 1958). Newly finding is that CSR image considered a mediating role in the effect of trustworthiness and expertise credibility on participation intention.
Implications: This implies that in the context of CBA, the company’s trustworthiness and expertise can be a more useful tool to trigger the positive CSR image in encouraging the stakeholders’ perception to buy the products and services or brand of the company implementing CSR, because CBA practices are considered as a genuine social cause, not as a promotion tool.
Novelty/Originality of this study: In this study, the collected data uses the cross-sectional design and the CBA context uses CBA practices implemented by agriculture, education service, beverage industry, and a bank stated-owned enterprise.

Published: November 2019

Objective: We aimed to compare the demographic-sociocultural
characteristics of quitting and non-quitting individuals and to evaluate the
factors affecting smoking cessation and success rates of treatment methods.Methods: 179 patients were included in the study.
Demographic characteristics, smoking behaviour, Fagerström nicotine dependence
level were recorded. The treatment results at the end of the first year were
evaluated. The efficacy of treatment methods used in the treatment of smoking
dependence, gender, occupation, education, comorbidity, and family history were
recorded in quitting and non-quitting individuals. Statistical analysis was
performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences Version 21.0
(SPSS-21.0). Results: Of the 179 patients evaluated, 118 (65.6%)
were male and 71 (39.7%) were married. The mean age was 41.5 ± 13.7 years. At
the end of 12 months follow-up, 57 (31.8%) had been quitted smoking. There was
no difference between the quit and non-quit groups in terms of gender, age,
working status and education level. It was found that being married and having
no additional disease significantly increased smoking cessation rate (p =
0.049, p = 0.010, respectively). In both groups, combination of behavioural
treatment and varenicline was the most common method. There was no significant
difference among the pharmacological methods used.

Conclusion: In our study, smoking cessation rate was found to be 31.8%. The efficacy
of different treatment modalities was similar. Despite the current treatments,
the rate of smoking cessation is not at the desired level and further studies
are needed to develop new methods for smoking cessation treatment.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
This paper describes how PETRONAS plays its role as Malaysia's Oil and Gas Regulator in maximizing values and extending the production period of Oil and Gas Assets in Malaysia. Upstream oil and gas industry in Malaysia is based on the Production Sharing Contracts arrangement. The Abandonment obligations transferred to the contractor on 2 items –Obligations to execute the abandonment–Obligations to pay the cess fund
All this works is cost recoverable from PETRONAS. After more than 100 years since oil and gas development starts in Malaysia, there are nearly 40% of assets reaching its design life and this has increase the demand of decommissioning in Malaysia. More matured oil and gas regions have undertaken waves of decommissioning activities in recent years, it is only now that in Malaysia or South East Asia is facing emerging reality of decommissioning. Like any other challenges that the industry has faced before, this will require collaboration from Operators, Host Authority, Service Providers, and other relevant stakeholders to overcome the challenges that decommissioning wave brings.
PETRONAS as the host Authority in Malaysia is playing a key role in turning this challenges to an opportunity for others.
Removing Uncertainty from Cutting of Piles and Structures
Authors: Spence Fergus , Stoddard John , MacWilliam David , Anderson David 
Published: November 2019

Abstract

Objectives/Scope
During decommissioning of an offshore platform jacket the removal of the structure will entail cutting and recovery of the piles driven into the seabed. Uncertainty on the effectiveness of the cutting process can lead to non-productive time and increase in operating cost. The scope of this paper is to present work undertaken to identify a suitable technology that provides near real time cut performance monitoring of single wall piles and conductors.

Methods, Procedures, Process
Abrasive Water Jet cutting is commonly used during pile cutting and remote monitoring of parameters gives valuable information of the cutting process. However, the decision to pull the pile is often based on the know-how or skill of the cutting operators to interpret what the gauges are showing them. Uncertainty leads to increased risk and project costs and can result in disputes between heavy lift vessel contractors and cutting service providers. Several techniques are claimed to be effective in verifying cutting performance but there are none that provide near real-time mapping of cut performance at the cut location.

Results, Observations, Conclusions
Two optical technologies namely laser scanning and photogrammetry were identified as having potential and extensively tested to detect cuts in representative mock-up conditions on varying pile wall thicknesses from 30mm up to 90mm. This paper will present the results of the testing and how each technique performed when asked to identify partial circumferential cuts and incomplete through-wall cuts. The results are compared with physical measurements and evaluated to meet the requirements set out by the project objectives. Field application of each technique was assessed and how the optical method can be integrated into existing equipment is described. Seawater turbidity in the pile which would render optical techniques ineffective has been considered and novel techniques are proposed to overcome this. Limitations and application of each technique in the real world are presented and the paper provides description on how the technique selected may be implemented into existing pile cutting tools.

Novel/Additive Information
This paper will be of benefit to those planning decommissioning of platform jackets and wind turbine piles due to the provision of new techniques resulting in reduction of project uncertainty and cost when employing heavy lift vessels.
Standardization of Inactive Wells Audit Process for Well Abandonment and Production Enhancement Candidate Screening
Authors: Haryanto Elin , Yersaiyn Saltanat , Akram Agha Hassan , Bouchet Francois , Galal Haytham , Basarudin Mohd Ashraf 
Published: November 2019

AbstractThe reservoir management team is often facing a standardization challenge during audit and screening of inactive wells, especially if this task involves multiple mature oil reservoirs or fields. Such a well candidate screening process is normally required to select candidates for revival as well as plug and abandonment (P&A) candidates.Shut-in wells across different fields may be sharing common issues such as pressure depletion, liquid loading, and high water cut, however, the severity of well-related problems varies from one field to the other. This is in addition to the variation of wellbore mechanical issues such as well-bore integrity, wellbore accessibility, and others. This paper aims to demonstrate a workflow to provide a quantitative ranking of wells. It can be used to standardize an audit process during multi-reservoir or multi-field inactive-well candidate screening study.The standardization process was addressed by developing a tool that registers the shut-in well ranking upon completing the well potential and risk assessment process. Well level petroleum engineering and production data analysis such as decline curve analysis, nodal analysis and well modeling are performed to estimate the remaining well potential. Subsequently, to enable a comparison across different fields, behind pipe well potential was normalized using multi-field parameters. The audit process followed with well workover risking based on ease of workover intervention including workover options such as water shut off, remedial wellbore integrity work, stimulation and others where it also draws on local knowledge for well risk calculation. The approach presented in this study provides a comprehensive tool for both key performance indicators; remaining well potential and well risk, that are usually required to short-list wells for workovers.The standardized audit process was demonstrated in a case study where a large number of shut-in wells from multiple mature oil fields were ranked. In this study, the 7 highest ranked wells were recognized as production enhancement candidates and conversely, a number of wells with the lowest ranking were identified for well abandonment. Through this standardized workflow, the well risk assessment was performed efficiently with tools that enable a consistent result across different fields. It helped to accelerate the reservoir management decision-making process in identifying wells with the most impact to increase the success probability during inactive well revival and workover. The workflow and the tool presented in this paper has the potential to be used as analytic tool or template and can be used as a live document that may be adopted to reduce the workload and improve shut-in well management.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Background: Educational reform, especially methods of teaching, has been a focus among nursing educators. This study explored the impact of blended versus offline case-centered learning on academic performance and the development of critical thinking among undergraduate nursing students.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study design was used, with assessments immediately before and 1 school year after the intervention. All second-year undergraduate nursing students were enrolled in the study (without any sampling). The two classes (taking Medical Nursing) were randomly allocated to either the experimental group, which undertook blended case-centered learning, or the control group, which undertook offline case-centered learning. The academic performance included final exam and process assessment, and the Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory-Chinese Version (CTDI-CV) was used to assess critical thinking. A Shapiro-Wilk test was first performed to verify the normal distribution of the academic performance data. ANCOVA analyses were also performed to examine the two teaching methods’effect on critical thinking.
Results: Both of the two classes got excellent academic performance in Medical Nursing, and the blended case-based learning class tend to make greater progress. At baseline, the students in the offline case-based learning class exhibited superior performance regarding all seven Professional Basic courses which they have completed. However, the median score in the Medical Nursing course was slightly higher in the experimental group than in the control group after 1 academic year, although was no significant difference in statistics. In addition, compared with the control group, the pre-post difference in competency in critical thinking self-confidence in the experimental group was significantly greater. In the experimental group, there was significant improvement compared with baseline in dimension of critical thinking self-confidence (p<0.05). In the control group, there was significant improvement compared with baseline in the total score (p<0.05) and two of the seven dimensions: truth-seeking (p<0.05) and systematicity (p<0.05).
Conclusions: Our study confirms the effectiveness of blended and offline learning (both based on case-centered learning) for academic performance and components of critical thinking among undergraduate nursing students. Blended and offline case-centered learning could be applied to other nursing subjects in future studies. Moreover, further efforts to improve teaching are warranted.
Impact of Effective Normal Stress on Capillary Pressure in a Single Natural Fracture

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Multiphase fluid flow through rock fractures occurs in many reservoir applications such as geological CO2 storage, Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), nuclear waste disposal, and oil and gas production. However, constitutional relations of capillary pressure versus fluid saturation, particularly considering the change of fracture aperture distributions under various stress conditions, are poorly understood. In this study, we use fracture geometries of naturally-fractured granodiorite cores as input for numerical simulations of two-phase brine displacement by super critical CO2 under various effective normal stress conditions. The aperture fields are first mapped via photogrammetry, and the effective normal stresses are applied by means of a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)-based convolution numerical method. Throughout the simulations, the capillary pressure is evaluated from the local aperture. Two approaches to obtain the capillary pressure are used for comparison: either directly using the Young-Laplace equation, or the van Genuchten equation fitted from capillary pressure-saturation relations generated using the pore-occupancy model. Analyses of the resulting CO2 injection patterns and the breakthrough times enable investigation of the relationships between the effective normal stress, flow channelling and aperturebased capillary pressures. The obtained results assist the evaluation of two-phase flow through fractures in the context of various subsurface applications.

Authors: Zhang Nan , Gu Dongmei , Meng Meng , Gordon Marc L. 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Background Recently, TDP-43 has been recognized as a common proteinopathy in the “oldest old” and a neuropathological comorbidity in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, since it has a low concentration in cerebrospinal fluid, the presence of TDP-43 in AD is rarely investigated in vivo. Methods Twenty-four patients with amyloid PET confirmed AD and 15 healthy controls (HCs) were included in this study. TDP-43 level in plasma neuronal-derived exosomes (NDEs) was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results TDP-43 level was elevated in patients with AD compared with HCs (1.20 ± 0.91 ng/ml vs 0.64 ± 0.20 ng/ml, P < 0.039), after controlling for age. There was no correlation between TDP-43 level and cognitive function, neuropsychiatric symptoms or APOE genotype in patients with AD. Conclusions This study demonstrated increased TDP-43 accumulation in AD patients by examining plasma NDEs, which may provide a window into the effects of TDP-43 on AD progression.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
Background: We aimed to develop a patient-oriented disease-specific outcome measure for patients with disorders of the hand and elbow, which we call the HandQ, and examine the practical applicability, reliability and validity of the HandQ for any patient with disorders of the hand and elbow. Methods: A total of 216 patients were surveyed with the HandQ, as well as the Hand20 and the DASH to assess psychometric characteristics. Results: Test-retest reliability and internal consistency determined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (0.942) and Cronbach’s alpha test (0.961) were excellent. The HandQ was well correlated with the other questionnaires. Scree plot showed uni-dimensionality of the HandQ, and the graphical model showed the questionnaire items of the HandQ had reasonable correlation among each item. Conclusions: The HandQ has a sufficient reliability and internal consistency, and an excellent validity, and was shown to be able to be practically applicable in all patients with hand and elbow disorders.
