Forensic Acculturation for Accountability in Local Governments: A Design Science Approach for School Leaders and Citizens
Authors: Kurpierz John R. , Smith Ken A. 
Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT
Using design science methodology, this article describes a field-tested model of forensic accountants assisting average citizens in improving local governmental accountability and the provision of services via forensic acculturation. While most citizens lack the skills of forensic accountants, citizens have several traits that make them uniquely capable of detecting unhealthy financial behaviors. The field research uncovered systematic patterns of citizens being stymied in moving from the “being aware stage” to the “making improvements” or “holding accountable” stages. We label the patterns of being stymied as 10 Ds (delay, deflect, distort, etc.). We also discovered more successful individuals using behaviors we label the 3 Ps (polite, persistent, and professional) that are common traits among forensic experts. We provide case study evidence of the effects of citizen training and consultation processes, and refine a teaching tool (“3 Ps and 10 Ds”) for use in further field tests.

Team Incentives and Bonus Floors in Relational Contracts
Authors: Glover Jonathan C. , Xue Hao 
Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT
Teamwork and team incentives are increasingly prevalent in modern organizations. Performance measures used to evaluate individuals' contributions to teamwork are often non-verifiable. We study a principal-multi-agent model of relational (self-enforcing) contracts in which the optimal contract resembles a bonus pool. It specifies a minimum joint bonus floor the principal is required to pay out to the agents, and gives the principal discretion to use non-verifiable performance measures to both increase the size of the pool and to allocate the pool to the agents. The joint bonus floor is useful because of its role in motivating the agents to mutually monitor each other by facilitating a strategic complementarity in their payoffs. In an extension section, we introduce a verifiable team performance measure that is a noisy version of the individual non-verifiable measures, and show that the verifiable measure is either ignored or used to create a conditional bonus floor.

Authors: Hoyos Diana Tascón , Olariaga Oscar Díaz 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This article analyzes the behavior of the demand of domestic and international air passengers in a context of liberalized air transport market and with a total deregulation of airfares (using as case study the Colombian air transport market), and where it is also contemplated the influence, on this demand, of several factors of diverse origin (economic, market / competition and geographic). And due to the complexity of the air transport system, the use of System Dynamics is considered appropriate as an analysis tool. The main results indicate a convergence (in the study period) to a stabilization status of the load factor, which suggests that the air operators were able to better understand the behavior of the demand and thereby better adjust their supply.

Abstract
Currently, in many cities around the world there is a significant increase in the number of vehicles, which leads to an aggravation of problems and contradictions in the road and transport system. This is especially true of traffic congestion, since the presence of the congestion leads to a number of negative consequences: an increase in travel time, additional fuel consumption and vehicle wear, stress and irritation of drivers and passengers, environmental poisoning and others. To solve the problem of congestion, it is necessary to have a reliable system for collecting information about the situation on the roads and a well-developed method for analyzing the collected information. The paper discusses the possibilities of collecting the required information using multi-touch video cameras and ways to improve them. A distinctive feature of this study is the registration of pedestrians crossing the road at the intersection. The aim of the work is to develop methods for collecting information using road sensor video surveillance systems in a traffic congestion and data processing using statistical methods such as: multiple regression analysis, cluster analysis, multidimensional scaling methods and others. The tasks were set: 1) to identify the most significant factors affecting the intensity of movement of vehicles at intersections in a congestion; 2) divide congestion into clusters with the identification of their characteristics; 3) to give a visual representation of multidimensional statistical information obtained with the help of multi-touch road video cameras.

Abstract
This paper explores the potential of using crowdsourcing tools, namely Google “Popular times” (GPT) as an alternative source of information to predict traffic-related impacts. Using linear regression models, we examined the relationships between GPT and traffic volumes, travel times, pollutant emissions and noise of different areas in different periods. Different data sets were collected: i) crowdsourcing information from Google Maps; ii) traffic dynamics with the use of a probe car equipped with a Global Navigation Satellite System data logger; and iii) traffic volumes. The emissions estimation was based on the Vehicle Specific Power methodology, while noise estimations were conducted with the use of “The Common Noise Assessment Methods in Europe” (CNOSSOS-EU) model. This study shows encouraging results, as it was possible to establish clear relationships between GPT and traffic and environmental performance.

Integrating navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation motor mapping in hypofractionated and single-dose gamma knife radiosurgery: A two-patient case series and a review of literature
Authors: Islam Mominul , Cooray Gerald , Benmakhlouf Hamza , Hatiboglu Mustafa , Sinclair Georges 
Published: February 2020

Background:
The aim of the study was to demonstrate the feasibility of integrating navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) in preoperative gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) planning of motor eloquent brain tumors.

Case Description:
The first case was a 53-year-old female patient with metastatic breast cancer who developed focal epileptic seizures and weakness of the left hand. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan demonstrated a 30 mm metastasis neighboring the right precentral gyrus and central sulcus. The lesion was treated with adaptive hypofractionated GKRS following preoperative nTMS-based motor mapping. Subsequent follow-up imaging (up to 12 months) revealed next to complete tumor ablation without toxicity. The second case involved a previously healthy 73-year-old male who similarly developed new left-handed weakness. A subsequent MRI demonstrated a 26 mm metastatic lesion, located in the right postcentral gyrus and 5 mm from the hand motor area. The extracranial screening revealed a likely primary lung adenocarcinoma. The patient underwent preoperative nTMS motor mapping prior to treatment. Perilesional edema was noted 6 months postradiosurgery; nevertheless, long- term tumor control was demonstrated. Both patients experienced motor function normalization shortly after treatment, continuing to final follow-up.

Conclusion:
Integrating preoperative nTMS motor mapping in treatment planning allowed us to reduce dose distributions to perilesional motor fibers while achieving salvage of motor function, lasting seizure freedom, and tumor control. These initial data along with our review of the available literature suggest that nTMS can be of significant assistance in brain radiosurgery. Prospective studies including larger number of patients are still warranted.

Authors: Wajdi Farid , Hadisaputra Saprizal , Sumarlan Iwan 
Published: February 2020

The corrosion inhibition performance of benzimidazole and its derivatives have been studied by density functional theory DFT in aqueous medium. For this investigation, the corrosion inhibition efficiencies of the protonated and non-protonated spesies of benzimidazole and its derivatives were investigated. The ionization potential of the inhibitors has a strong influence on the efficiency of corrosion inhibitors. The linear correlation was shown between electronic properties and corrosion inhibition efficiency. Electron donating substituents increase the corrosion inhibition efficiency, whereas electron withdrawing substituents give the opposite effect. The NH2 substituent contributes highest, whereas NO2 provides the weakest contribution to the corrosion inhibition efficiency for both non-protonated and protonated species of inhibitors.

I pittori veneti alle ‘Biennali di Pallucchini’ (1948-1956)
Le partecipazioni e la ricezione della stampa
Authors: Rampazzo Elisa 
Published: February 2020

Venice Biennale was created to magnify this wonderful city also through the encreasing of arts, so a participation of painters born or living in the Veneto region – who originally ‘invented’, with politicians and intellectuals, the Biennale – at the beginning was always considerable. This essay focuses on the analysis of their presence at the Biennale between 1948 and 1956, when Rodolfo Pallucchini was General Secretary of the institution. It is examined through a statistical method that allows a more complete view of this mapping. Another topic is the reception on the press, that highlights the diatribe between artists and critics.
