Proposed Business Strategy for a Nonformal Architecture-Related Education Start-up (Case Study: Klass Academy)
Authors: Handrian Anastasia C. , Mansoor Alvanov Z. 
Published: June 2021

Architecture is arguably one of the most complex and broad subjects, both for academic study and professional practice. Thus, many architecture students and practising architects participate in nonformal architecture-related learning activities. The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented impact on both formal and nonformal education systems worldwide; with the inevitable closure of schools and institutions, the sudden shift to virtual learning becomes mandatory. These drastic digital accelerations have caused the customers’ behaviour to change adaptively - the use of online education service and the market demands in nonformal education show an increasing trend.
This paper presents a contextual and relevant business strategy for Klass Academy - a startup company in nonformal educational business - amid the pandemic and post-pandemic scenarios. It will underpin how the company could maintain its competitiveness by first analysing the existing business condition - both externally and internally, using several tools and theories from the literature study: Market Analysis, Porter’s 5 Forces, and Research-Based View Analysis. The findings from conducted analysis determine the proposed business strategy recommendations - with the use of Ansoff matrix as an analysing tool. The formulated strategies in this paper are categorised as Product Development Strategy and Diversification Strategy.

Authors: Baka Marim M. A. , Eryildiz Demet Irkli 
Published: June 2021

Libya is completely dependent on non-renewable energy sources (oil and natural gas that increase the problem of global warming) to meet its needs for electric energy. After its decline in its oil production and the destruction of some power stations, especially after 2011, the electricity sector in Libya witnessed a very significant decline, as it could not meet the needs of citizens in all sectors, including the residential sector.
On the other hand, Libya has good solar radiation, as the average solar radiation at the horizontal level is 7.1 kW/m2 in the coastal areas and 8.1 kilowatt / square meters in the southern regions for nine hours per day, and the estimated amount of solar energy available annually is 3.5×109 gig watt hours, which makes it one of the countries that can use solar energy to help meet the increasing demand for electrical energy, and together, this energy is not utilized sufficiently.
This work aims to study the possibility of developing existing residential buildings by installing photovoltaic modules the photovoltaic modules have been integrated with existing buildings in Zuwarah city in different ways: on the building roof to perform functional role and facades for aesthetic role. After studying the existing residential buildings in the city, two samples were chosen as case studies to apply the integration of photovoltaic units to them using Sketch Up software, and the PV Syst software, to design the PV system.
The study clarified the role that photovoltaic systems play in the sustainable architectural formation through their ability to achieve its rules and principles, and the possibility of developing existing residential buildings in Libya - Zuwara by integrating PV with it. As well as its contribution to solving the electricity crisis in Libya.

Published: June 2021

Background: Decompressive craniectomy is a surgical technique proposed in the treatment of intracranial hypertension refractory to medical treatment and engaging the vital prognosis of patients.
Materials and methods: We conducted a retrospective study about 41 cases of decompressive flap in the neurosurgery department of CHU ibn Rochd of Casablanca between 2015 and 2018.
Aim: This study aims to discuss the management of intractable ICH in adults, focusing on the role of DC in patients with traumatic brain and identify the different indications, contraindications and complications.
Results: The results show a clear male predominance with an average age of 40 years. The initial GCS >7 was in 63%, and <7 in 36% of cases, anisocoria was present in 65%. The most frequent indication for craniectomy is a neurological worsening. The type of craniectomy performed in the majority of cases is a hemi craniectomy in 92% of cases. Concerning the prognosis, we observed 32% of deaths and 68% of survivors of which 39% of patients without sequelae GOS 5 and 32% with a moderate disability GOS 4. The moderate disability GOS 3 was found in 21% and one case in vegetative state GOS 2. Regarding immediate complications after craniectomy: 33% of patients presented convulsions, 12% a new homolateral hematoma, 49% a nosocomial pneumopathy and 10% a postoperative meningitis.
Conclusion: Decisions to recommend DC must always be made not only in the context of its clinical indications but also after consideration of an individual patient's preferences and quality of life expectations.

Published: June 2021

We report the properties of gamma soft O(6) of 128Ba isotones with neutron N = 72 using Interacting Vector Boson Model (IVBM), interacting Boson Model (IBM-1), Bohr-Mottelson Model (BM), and Doma-El-Gendy (D-G) relation. The first energy level ( ) and ratio have been investigated which show that 128Ba has gamma-soft character. The curves Eγ/Vs.J of E-GOS of even 128Ba nucleus were compared with the standard curves of vibrational, gamma soft and rotational limits. The staggering factors were studied of available measured data of 128Ba nucleus. The yrast levels of this isotope are calculated by the model of VBMI, IBM-1, BM and D-G and they were compared by measured data. The negative parity band of 128Ba was calculated by IVBM and BM model and compared with experimental values.
Decomposition CO₂ and CO in Flow of Gases by Means of Technical Ferrogravitational Field
Authors: Sizov Robert A. 
Published: June 2021

The author's experimental studies shown that magnetic poles (magnetic charges) are real structural components of atoms and substance. It is the magnetic poles, and not the electrons moving are direct sources of all magnetic fields in nature. The main reasons for ignoring magnetic charges in physical science are the hard conditions for their confinement in the structures of substance which is fundamentally different from the confinement of electrons, as well as the vicious electric magnetism of Maxwell (1873). True magnetic poles have been “buried alive” in physical theory under such theoretical surrogates as the magnetic moments of electrons. The electromagnetic shells of atoms composed of electric and magnetic charges are the sources of gravitational field which is the vortex electromagnetic field and is described by vortex vector rot[E – H]. Depending on the state of vortex vectors rot[E – H] in the composition of gravitational fields (GF) emitted by atoms, these fields are subdivided into paragravitational (PGF) and ferrogravitational (FGF). The sources of ferrogravitational field are repelled from sources of paragravitational field, for example, from Earth. The forces of such repulsion depend on the degree ferropolarization of gravitational field of atom - source of FGF, and the physical manifestation such repulsion is еthe effect of the ferrogravitational levitation (FGL), which discovered and investigated by the author. The FGL effect is also realized between the atoms emitting PGF and FGF in the formulations of chemical compounds. When an external FGF acts on CO2 molecule the process ferropolarization of gravitational field of oxygen atom is realized, which should be defined as the gravito-plastic source. In this case, the carbon atom, which is the gravito-stable mass, remains of paragravitational. At interatomic distances <1 Å the forces of the gravito-levitation repulsion may be very significant and lead to the rupture of chemical bonds between oxygen and carbon atoms and to the disintegration of the molecule CO2. It is highly probable that the process of decomposition of CO2, similar to that described above, is carried out in the cells of leaves of green plants, which emit precisely the ferrogravitational field. The decomposition of CO2 by FGF and the supply of oxygen to green plants is natural process that takes place in leaf cells called photosynthesis. However, photons in this process are only a stimulating factor contributing to the ferropolarization of gravitational field emitted by atoms oxygen in the composition of green plant cells.

Polish Textile and Apparel Industry: Global Supply Chain Management Perspective
Authors: Sadowski Adam , Dobrowolska Bogusława , Skowron-Grabowska Beata , Bujak Andrzej 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
The article presents changes that took place in the textile and apparel (T&A) industry in Poland in the years 2004–2020. To describe the changes, we adopted the supply chain management perspective, which allowed for a global view of the changes taking place. We discuss the basic characteristics, such as the size and structure of the industry, innovation, production value, and the use of information and communications technology (ICT). In the research, we used the databases of the Central Statistical Office (GUS) on the sold production of the T&A industry, as well as imports and exports. Our research shows that, at the level of basic characteristics, the industry is close to the European model. However, it is characterized by a smaller share of small companies in the structure of enterprises. The research showed an upward trend in the production of sold textiles and, to a lesser extent, apparel. At the same time, the operation of the Polish T&A industry is influenced by the import of finished products and raw materials from China, Germany, Bangladesh, and Turkey. The export is directed to the German, Czech, Romanian, and Ukrainian markets. The article provides an overview of the development trends in the Polish T&A industry in the broad context of international conditions.

Authors: Mikołajczyk Zbigniew , Szałek Agnieszka 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
On the medical device market there are several types of stationary and portable incubators that can be used in the care of infants. The prototype of a textile incubator made as part of this work consists of five material layers. The textile incubator is equipped with a functional heating and cooling mat, which is made on the basis of 3D channeled weft-knitted fabric. Its function is to generate heat and maintain it inside the textile incubator or to cool the baby's body while using therapeutic hypothermia. The mat is equipped with hoses transporting the heating or cooling medium.
The mat, depending on variable input parameters, can emit heat in the range from 1.15 W to 86.88 W. In case of the cooling function, it can receive heat in the range from −4.32 to −27.96 W. This indicates a large adjustment range of the amount of heat supplied and received, which is a positive feature, and enables programming the heat balance to ensure comfort for the baby.
The analysis of temperature measurements on the mat surface confirmed that maximum temperature differences do not exceed 1.6°C.
Disputes over the place of ethics in Polish Marxist philosophy
Authors: Konstańczak Stefan 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
In the article, the author presents attempts by Polish Marxist philosophers to enrich Marxism with ethical issues. The initial absence of ethics in Marxism is associated with the ignorance of tradition related to their own formation. In the author’s opinion, only polemics with the competitive Lviv-Warsaw school forced Polish Marxists to take the issue seriously. That is why Polish Marxist ethics in its mature form was only established in the 1960s, and did not enrich Marxism itself, but rather indirectly contributed to the initiation of socio-political transformations in our country.

Stoic pragmatist ethics in the time of pandemic
Authors: Skowroński Krzysztof Piotr 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
The present paper is a response, of sorts, to the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID) and lockdown that we all must face. We have an idea of what doctors, nurses, teachers, among many of the other professions, do for the general public, but one may ask whether there is something substantial that philosophers and ethicists can offer in these circumstances. The thesis of this paper is that the stoic attitude towards times of trouble and the pragmatist way of finding out what is possible to elevate the quality of living against all odds, if skilfully interwoven, could be an important tool in keeping mental health in good shape and, additionally, could contribute to the cultural scene at large. If this is the case, stoic pragmatists can indeed offer an interesting example of practical philosophy for many audiences, especially during the pandemic lockdown and, perhaps, for other serious difficulties or problems. To be effective in delivering their message, stoic pragmatists, as most with philosophers today, should enrich their textual and oral modes of traditional transmission of knowledge and become digital-culture public intellectuals that can recognize and reach more general audiences by, among other things, visual modes of digital communication.
RETRACTED: Income Shocks and Child Mortality Rates: Evidence from Fluctuations in Oil Prices
Authors: Rivero Catalina , Acuna Pedro 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
Previous studies show that children in lower socioeconomic status families reveal higher rates of mortality. We complement the income-mortality literature by establishing a causal link between income and child mortality. Our instrument for income is based on time-series global shocks to oil prices combined with the cross-sectional share of employment in manufacturing across US states as their exposure to oil price changes. Using the universe of death records between the years 1975-2004, we find the OLS results of income-child-mortality relationships are under-biased. The 2SLS-IV results suggest that a $1,000 increase in income per capita at the state level reduces child mortality and infant mortality by 0.87 and 0.53 fewer incidences per 1,000 population of age-specific children.

Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has ushered in a new age in the world. We are still grappling with the implications in various areas of our everyday lives. The impulsive buying habits of consumers, the supply chain, and the whole industry are not exceptions. Consumers and supply chains were both unprepared during the early stages of the novel coronavirus pandemic. The procurement of utilitarian products was referred to as panic buying. The study examined using exploratory studies on several individuals in the eight selected Islamic countries who have been panic buying in coronavirus-affected areas and have faced regional constraints. The data apply on exploratory factor analysis (EFA) in eight selected Islamic countries, three hundred sample finally selected, and a good number of volunteers supported in this study. The results have shown that a drastic financial effect on the economy where purchasing power and remittance inflow declined, inflation goes up and precaution for lockdown, whereas impulsive buying goods tendency increased due to misinformation, and panic buying immensely impact in the economy. The decision-making process has shifted, preventing financial burdening, rising saving patterns, and unwelcoming unhealthy consumption. Moreover, visible psychological distress, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. These studies concluded with a policy recommendation providing the results.
Does Railway Lines Investments Matter for Economic Growth?
Authors: Fosu Prince 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
The $20.81 trillion U.S. economy relies on a vast infrastructure network to thrive; however, empirical studies that examined that impact of infrastructure on economic growth in the U.S. are limited. This study’s principal objective was to examine the effect of railway lines on economic growth using annual data from 1980 to 2016 and cointegration analysis. The results showed a positive and significant impact of railway lines on economic growth in the long-run and short-run. The impulse response analysis indicates that shocks to railway lines initially cause GDP growth rates to increase and decrease continuously. The variance decomposition analysis also suggests that overtime, railway lines contribute largely to the variations in economic growth followed by inflation and population. This study’s outcome has important implications not only for the U.S. economy but also for developing and emerging countries. The results suggest that railway lines investments matter for economic growth in the U.S.
Tourism Economy. Mountain Tourism: Quantitative Analysis of Winter Destinations in Romania
Authors: Bacoş Ioan-Bogdan , Gabor Manuela Rozalia 
Published: June 2021

Abstract
The continuous development of mountain tourism derives from the multiple positive points that the mountain has in satisfying the particularly diverse tourist needs. The strong point is represented by the extremely valuable and complex tourist potential, as well as the variety of natural and anthropic resources. The complementarity of these resources makes the arrangement and development of winter resorts with a useful and attractive profile called ski areas to be more and more common in mountainous areas. The purpose of this paper is to analyze winter destinations in order to conclude whether Romania can create a competitive advantage based on this type of tourism, both at European and global level. We used statistical data for all Romanian resort for sky destination, respectively the total number of practicable kilometers, total number of cableway installations and the accommodation capacity. For the quantitative analysis we used the SPSS 23.0 statistical software and applied the following statistical methods: Person correlations, chi square test and Student’s t test for paired samples. The research results, obtained with statistical methodology, support and highlight the significant differences between the Romanian mountain resorts for winter activities.
