Business Cooperations Along the Supply Chain
Authors: Nagy Viktor , Kozma Tímea 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Cooperation between and within the companies can be an important success factor. Based on trust, companies at present have created formal and informal network structures in which cooperation between them plays a special role. In the present times, the economic importance of supply chains can be observed in almost every industry regardless size: multinational companies and even small and medium-sized enterprises are actively involved in global value-creating chains. More and more business leaders recognize that when consumers are about to decide on their purchases, not just performance of a company is evaluated but that of the entire supply chain and supply network. Forms of cooperation in the supply chain affect the companies in several ways: we can investigate its impact on growth, operation and thus, on the effectiveness of the supply chain and competitiveness. Both cooperation between and within companies are important in creating the ultimate value added. This paper aims to explore the functional fields in which companies cooperate with each other, i.e. how and in what manner they are connected to each other. Results and conclusions are based on in-depth interviews and a questionnaire filled in by companies in Hungary.

Authors: Havránek Aleš , Zemánek Ivan 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The compensation ferrometer is an instrument for the measurement of open specimen soft magnetic materials parameters at AC magnetization based on the magnetomotive force compensation method. New magnetizing process regulator that controls voltage induced in measuring winding (magnetic flux density waveform) and the voltage induced across Rogowski-Chattock potentiometer (compensation) was developed recently. This paper deals with a new compensation ferrometer design that allows taking the full advantage of the new regulator. New ferrometer based on STEMlab platform improves precision and speed of the measurement.

Authors: Petrucha Vojtech , Novotny David 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The article presents testing of a miniature fluxgate sensor developed and manufactured by Texas Instruments as well as an application of the sensor in a compact magnetic field probe with USB interface and LabView based software. Several basic properties of the sensor were evaluated and compared with the datasheet specifications. Offset stability measurements have indicated some possible problems for applications that require very high DC and low-frequency precision. Jumps in offset were present for some of the devices, frequency and duty of the jumps varying between individual pieces and with respect to the supply voltage. Magnetic probe for fast and handy measurements of DC and AC (up to 30 kHz) magnetic fields (up to ±1 mT) is also presented. The probe contains 24-bit analog to digital converter, microcontroller and high-speed USB interface which allows a live view of the signal in time and spectral charts. The probe proved to be very useful for the DRV425 debugging, application development, EMC measurements and magnetic field demonstrations activities.
The influence of selected ions on various characteristics of Nickel-Zinc ferrites
Authors: Ušáková Mariana , Ušák Elemír , Šoka Martin , Lokaj Ján 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
One of acknowledged methods remarkably improving structural, magnetic and electrical properties of spinel ferrite systems is the substitution of iron ions by some trivalent ions. In the family of spinel ferrites, thanks to its high saturation magnetization and electrical resistivity as well as low losses, the nickel-zinc ferrite is a very important magnetic material used in many applications in electrical engineering and electronics. The properties of these materials are in general dependent upon chemical composition, method of preparation, stoichiometry, sintering time, temperature as well as the atmosphere, etc. In this study the influence of appropriately selected ions (M = In3+, Nd3+, Dy3+ and Er3+), partly replacing Fe3+, on the microstructure and magnetic properties of spinel ferrite with the composition Ni0.42Zn0.58M0.02Fe1.98O4 fabricated by means of standard ceramic technology was investigated.
Two phase magnetic material modelling using two dimensional extended Preisach model
Authors: Frydrych Piotr , Nowicki Micha l 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Extended Preisach model parameters can be strongly related to microstructural properties of material. It can also include real physical magnetization mechanisms such as domain wall motion and domain rotation. This paper shows that Preisach model is able to anticipate different phases in material structure. Existence of different phases in the material are due to thermal treatment, which is used to improve magnetic properties of amorphous alloys. Model was verified using ring shaped cores made of bilayered amorphous ribbons, which served as a physical model of the loosely coupled two phase ferromagnetic material with distinct magnetic properties.
Evaluation of frame-induced compressive stress on the magnetic properties of stator cores using the excitation inner core method
Authors: Oka Mohachiro , Enokizono Masato 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
To improve the efficiency of electric motors, we developed the excitation inner core method to evaluate the magnetic properties such as the iron loss of the actual stator core. After preparing two stator cores with a frame, we examined the frames influence of compressive stress by applying the standard and small excitation inner core methods to evaluate the iron loss of both stator cores having a frame. After removing the frames of the two stator cores, we evaluated the iron loss of two stator cores without the frames again by applying both methods.

Implantation of a stent in a stenotic conduit between the left ventricle and aorta in a patient undergone surgery for a double outlet right ventricle
Authors: Samyn Sophie , Morissens Marielle , Sanoussi Ahmed , Rodriguez José Castro 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Reinterventions for surgery complications in adult patients with complex congenital heart disease are often difficult and have a high operative risk. If anatomically possible, a percutaneous approach is an alternative to surgery. We report the case of a 36 year-old patient who underwent surgery for a double outlet right ventricle with transposition of the great arteries and pulmonary stenosis. On the days following the surgery, the patient was hemodynamically unstable due to a stenosis of the intraventricular Dacron conduit between the left ventricle and the aorta. Because of the fragility of the patient, additional surgery was not possible and a percutaneous approach was preferred. A Cheatham Platinum stent mounted on a balloon-in-balloon catheter was implanted with success in the stenotic intraventricular Dacron conduit.

Published: January 2019

Abstract

Introduction:
Coxiella (C.) burnetii, the aetiological agent of Q fever, is able to modulate the macrophage/T-lymphocyte axis in an infected organism and impair synthesis of monokines and lymphokines.

Material and Methods: The purpose of this research was to determine the levels of the cytokines that play a key role in the response to C. burnetii antigens (IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IFN-γ and TNF-α) in the serum of animals originating from an infected herd prior to vaccination (day 0) and at 1, 7, and 21 days afterwards.

Results: The vaccination of animals did not affect the production of IL-6, IL-1β, or IL-2. The serum levels of these cytokines were too low to measure in most of the samples. The initial levels of TNFα, IFNγ, and IL-10 were higher in seropositive than in seronegative animals, although significant differences between seropositive shedders and seropositive nonshedders appeared only in the levels of IFNγ and IL-10. Additionally, the course of the post-vaccination response concerning these two cytokines was different among seronegative nonshedders, seropositive nonshedders, and seropositive shedders.

Conclusion: It seems that analysis of the IFNγ and IL-10 concentrations in animal blood serum may have some practical value in an assessment of the health status of seropositive animals and post-vaccination response.
Changes of vegetation effects in soil properties in the post-agriculture landscapes (south-eastern Poland)
Authors: Joanna Sosnowska Agnieszka 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Plant succession is quite a common phenomenon in Poland, especially in agricultural landscapes. At the turn of the 21st century there was a significant increase in the area of fallow lands. That increased the area occupied by ruderal and segetal vegetation. The development of vegetation on post-agricultural lands transforms soils. The aim of this paper is to determine changes in vegetation and soil properties that occur as a result of secondary succession on post-agricultural lands in loess landscapes
Urban criteria based on the example of the smallest towns in Poland
Authors: Cudo Mateusz 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The article attempts to develop a preliminary practical framework for urban criteria in terms of the population, economy and spatial location of the smallest towns in Poland. Despite being of little significance, the fact that they lie near the border between being rural settlements and towns makes them an interesting subject for research and more detailed analysis. The current phenomenon of urban status being obtained by ever-smaller settlements is causing conceptual disorder. Therefore, the article may serve as an early contribution to a discussion about the need to define and unify urban criteria on a national scale. The qualitative and descriptive guidelines contained in official acts are insufficient and too general, which is why quantitative methods were used in the present research. Despite the limited data available, research on the topic of urbanity has proven the imperfection of the Polish administrative system and confirmed the premise that town status may be conferred inappropriately in numerous cases.

Authors: Blazhevska Svetlana Krstevska , Donev Doncho 
Published: January 2019

Abstract

Introduction: Multiple factors can cause infection and other pathological conditions in mothers during childbirth. These risk factors and diseases/complications can be prevented or timely detected through the implementation of special protocols/procedures. The aim of this paper is to identify the implementation of procedures/measures for the prevention and detection of infections and risk factors for morbidity and mortality in four hospitals in the Republic of Macedonia, before and during childbirth.

Material and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in four hospitals in R. Macedonia, in December 2016, on certain days according to the same principle of selection in all institutions. The questionnaire used contained relevant and specific questions related to the application of procedures and protocols at the maternity clinic at the time of admission to the birthplace and immediately prior to delivery.

Results: The study analyzes the performed procedures from 137 obstetric histories. Cardiotocograph was taken after the admission in a hospital in 86% of the mothers; a temperature was measured at only 47.5%, and arterial tension at 89.8%. Immediately before delivery, the color and odor of the vaginal discharge in 98.5% of the mothers was checked, urine was analyzed only in 8% of the mothers, and the analysis of the time of rupture of the mammalian sheaths in 98.6% of the mothers.

Conclusion: The study showed that part of the analyzed procedures was not sufficiently implemented, and the percentage distribution varied between hospitals. There is a need for introduction of organized programs with standard procedures in maternity wards in order to protect against infections and other pathological conditions during childbirth.
Potential of Submerged Vegetation to Remove Nutrients from Eutrophic Fishponds
Authors: Petrů A. , Vymazal J. 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The possibility to remove nutrients from two eutrophic fishponds in the Czech Republic through harvesting the dominant submerged species, Ceratophyllum demersum and Stuckenia pectinata, was evaluated. Both plants were sampled in three locations within the fishpond in two-week intervals from late June to late September 2016. In the biomass of both plants nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations were measured and, subsequently, standing stocks of both elements were calculated. The results revealed that the maximum biomass occurred at different times, in June for S. pectinata and in July for C. demersum. The maximum standing stocks were 3.61 and 7.44 g N m−2 and 0.13 and 0.53 g P m−2, respectively.. These values are within the range reported in the literature for the studied species, but they are about one order of magnitude lower when compared to tall emergent species. The total amount of removable nutrients in the monitored fishponds varied between 448 and 842 kg N and between 30.5 and 31.9 kg P.
Modeling the Diffusion of Private Pension Provision
Authors: Yakymova Larysa 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is threefold: to adapt the innovation diffusion models to describe and predict the diffusion of private pension provision; to evaluate the suitability of diffusion models based on the historical data from the Romanian and Ukrainian voluntary pension systems; and to compare the diffusion parameters of private pension provision in these countries. The study proven that diffusion models, such as the Rogers model and the Bass model, can reproduce the diffusion of innovations in the field of pensions. The Rogers diffusion parameters for Romania and Ukraine are almost identical; this gives grounds for a conclusion about the similar behavioral patterns in post-socialist countries. However, some limitations on models use are noted. During the crisis and when using the nudge mechanism, models are not always well-fitting, but when new pension schemes are introduced or new pension funds are opened, models can be used in “guessing by analogy”.
La « mauvaise » traduction de La Mise à mort (1965) de Louis Aragon : un cas de découverte de littérature subversive dans l’Espagne franquiste
Authors: Hidalgo Marian Panchon 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Aragon’s La Mise à Mort (1965) was translated for the first time in Spain in 1969, while the country was still under the Francoist dictatorship. Even though the translated work has several errors, it received a positive review from the progressive magazine Triunfo and from the conservative newspaper ABC. This leads us to reflect on the traditional view of “good” and “bad” translations as well as the importance of translated works within the cultural and literary systems that host them
Traduction et retraduction d’Ulysse : le portrait du même en autre
Authors: Rivaux Romain 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
To what extent can the 1929 French translation of Ulysses be conceived of as poor ? We attempt to answer this question by looking at the 2004 retranslation, which provides the reader with a new perspective on the sometimes-debatable decisions made by the original translators. The detail of Joyce’s own annotations on the translated material also facilitates the understanding of some of these decisions. Destruction of rhythms, syntactic ennoblement, and destruction of intertextual networks count among the most obvious types of deformation that can be observed in this masterpiece of translation.
The Relation between Economic Development and International Trade: A Comparative Analysis of East Asian and Southeast Asian Economies
Authors: Doppler Rainer 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The impressive economic development of East Asian and Southeast Asian countries, like China, Japan, South Korea, or Singapore, is often described as the ‘Asian economic miracle’. The transition from a less developed economy to an industrialised country and successful integration into the global economy within a relatively short period of time are characteristics of the economic development process. Academic research is dominated by a general agreement on the causal relationship between economic development and international trade. The research goal of this paper is to analyse the impact of the level of economic development on the degree of international trade in the economies of China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand. The applied research model does not follow the traditional research mainstream but rather introduces relative shares of GDP-related industrial output and of manufactures exports by adopting national as well as international perspectives instead. Descriptive trend analysis, correlation analysis and regression analysis are conducted in order to test the hypotheses. The results do not support conventional academic wisdom. A statistically reasonable causality between the level of economic development, in terms of relative industrial output, and the degree of international trade, in terms of relative industrial exports, could not be confirmed.
Novel Findings on Gender Differences in Self- Disclosure: The Sharing of Personal Information in Japanese Students’ Close Friendships
Authors: Fankhauser Peter 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Contrary to common findings on self-disclosure and gender, male students at a Japanese university that were questioned for this study reported significantly higher disclosure to close friends than their female colleagues-overall as well as for various individual topics (N = 479). Two different measures of self-disclosure were used, both yielding similar results. The gender differences were especially pronounced in cross-gender friendships. In accordance with previous literature, subjective feeling of closeness and respondents’ trust in the stability of the friendship were found to be positively associated with self-disclosure. While both closeness and trust in relationship stability were greater in same-gender friendships, no gender differences were found in this regard. The conclusion discusses the possibility of these findings being connected to shifting images of masculinity and femininity among Japanese youth, as well as changing interaction patterns between genders.
