Scientific diving in natural sciences
Authors: Kur Jarosław , Mioduchowska Monika 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Scientific diving is increasingly being used for numerous studies. Moreover, this form of diving allows for the conduction of interdisciplinary research. The current nomenclature of this type of dive is defined as scuba diving to collect information to support science by using diving techniques. Underwater research is particularly important in the natural sciences where it allows for the non-invasive observations of fauna and flora of aquatic ecosystems in their natural environment. At the same time, the use of diving for scientific purposes avoids mistakes made in random sampling, which is related to the use of classical sampling methods. As a result, such diving is crucial in systematic, ecological and behavioural analysis. Nevertheless, dive techniques, however versatile, require optimisation, separate study and systematisation, depending on the type of research conducted. This article is an attempt to present an outline of the topic, to systematise basic concepts in presenting the principles of legal regulations in Poland and abroad..

Published: March 2019

O artigo destaca a subjetivação presente nos textos de Clarice Lispector como instrumento que possibilita o leitor/leitora-aluno/aluna adentrar-se nas camadas mais profundas do texto e com isso alcançar o caráter humanizador proveniente da arte literária. A partir dos estudos das obras “A paixão segundo G.H” e “Água Viva” foram produzidas análises que buscaram, por meio da construção das personagens, apresentar reflexões que possibilitem o trabalho em sala de aula considerando o aluno/aluna-sujeito em sua dimensão existencial, espiritual e intimista. O texto evidencia que a literatura de Lispector é para o professor e professora de língua portuguesa uma ferramenta de transformação do aluno e aluna, pois possibilita a formação humana, por meio de uma abordagem que une os conhecimentos de arte, filosofia, sociologia e psicologia.
A Comparative Study of Ngapsahi Analysis and Tagmemic Analysis on Arabic Texts in Kitab Kuning
Authors: Jaeni Muhamad 
Published: March 2019

There are various traditions used in interpreting a book or kitab. One of the models of interpreting kitab kuning used in pesantren is Ngapsahi. This is a creative and effective model using grammatical markers. Actually, the analysis of the grammatical markers has been used by western linguists, although it only emphasizes on the analysis of the structural latin texts, such as English, France, Indonesian, and other latin languages. This analysis model has not been implemented in Arabic texts. Yet, the western linguists believe that this tradition is universal which can be implemented in any language in the world. This study focuses on creating Ngapsahi analysis system and comparing it with Tagmemic analysis in kitab kuning. There are three steps used in the research method including finding data and sources; analyzing the data and the sources; and drawing conclusion. The results of this study are: First, Tagmemic analysis can be implemented in Arabic text inspite of the uncomplete dimensions covered by this analysis. Second, Ngapsahi analysis model is a specific model created by pesantren’s priest. Third, there is a similarity between Tagmemic and Ngapsahi analyses, especially which is in the term of linguistic dimensions (Slot, Class, Role, Cohesion) filled by the grammatical markers. The difference between those analyses is the more complete dimensions of Ngapsahi analysis than Tagmemic’s because of the complexity and compliteness of Arabic text system.

Published: March 2019

İndüktif ısıtma vasıtası ile ısıl işlem uygulamaları, genel olarak makine imalat sektöründe ve metalürjik üretim yapan işletmelerde kullanılmaktadır. Gıda uygulamalarında indüksiyon kullanımı, endüstriyel olmayan çok sınırlı uygulamalardır. İndüksiyon, ısınmanın çok hızlı şekilde gerçekleştiği verimli bir ısınma yöntemdir. Pastörizasyon, sterilizasyon, kurutma, pişirme vs. gibi gıda ısıl işlem uygulamalarına indüksiyonun entegre edilmesi ile, gıda işleme sisteminde, sıcak su, buhar gibi aracı akışkanların elde edilmesini ve sistemde kullanılmasını sağlayan ısı değiştirici kullanımına gerek kalmayacaktır. Bu durum, sistemin ilk yatırım ve işletme maliyetlerini düşürmenin yanı sıra fosil türevli yakıtlarının tüketilmesini ve bunların çevreye verdikleri zararı azaltacaktır. Bu çalışmada gıda işleme proseslerine entegre edilebilecek indüksiyon ile ısıtma uygulamaları, enerji verimliliği ve ilk yatırım maliyetleri göz önüne alınarak incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, gıda işleme uygulamalarında indüksiyon kullanımının, enerji ve ekserji verimliliği ve ilk yatırım maliyeti açısından mevcut uygulamalardan çok daha verimli olacağı önerilmektedir.

In education sector, Total Quality Management is philosophy about sustainable improvement, that is contribute a practice tool to each educational institution to cover needs, wills and hopes of consumer’s satisfaction. The main word wich is involved with Total Quality Management is continous improvement and quality improvement. Total Quality Management is one of management strategy to response external challenges to cover consumer’s satisfaction.Fundamental; Total Quality Management consist of two basic aspect:1. Quality Manajemen System-QMS2. Continous Quality Improvement-CQIIn case to make implementation management concept, the strategy which is able to implement by education institution is evaluation to analyze strongness and weekness. Based on that evaluation, the educational institution and all it’s stakeholder consider and formulate quality target.The next step is to adjust planning including cost that refers to priority scale and national policy and depend on condition and resources each educational institution. In arranging program, the educational institution must define indicators or quality target. The most important step is monitoring and final evaluation. In monitoring, implementation of program is compared with the quality target defined before and also with the cost planning. The result of this evaluation can be used to adjust planning in the future. This process is a sustainable process.

Nowadays, moral education or character education; has become a relevant way to resolve moral crisis happens in Indonesia. When we said about moral crisis, it all refers to corruption, fornication, children and teen abuse, peer to peer violence, juvenile delinquency, the habit of cheating in exam, drugs abuse, pornography, and anarchy. All of it has become social problems that we still do not have the answer on how to resolve. Thus, based on the matter, character education obviously becomes an important thing to be implemented. Objective description that factually happen to the Indonesian nowadays, has show us that The Indonesian almost lost its true self (or identity). Many incidents happened in a last years, had threatened the nation existence. The spread of social conflict and terror had destroyed the social capital, which is important for the community moral integration. In other side, corruption, collusion and nepotism have turned this nation to become a low trust society. Based on the objective description above, I thought we need to improve the quality of higher educations, particularly through the character education; thus, they could result a diplomas with strong Indonesian identity. Nation Identity will be appears in the nation’s character as an implementation of the highest value of the nation. For the Indonesian, the highest values of the nation clearly written in the national principle, which is Pancasila. Pancasila itself, is the establishment of religious, humanity, nationalism, sovereignty, and sociality concepts. Revitalization of Indonesian identity mean, re-build and strengthen Indonesian identity to every citizens. In other words, an effort to build a person with strong Pancasila sense whom has moral and responsible. Higher education level, in this case, has responsibility to shape and strengthening the national identity, which nowadays seems to be weakened.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a major cause of death globally. It causes multiple problems in various organs and incurs heavy costs for patients and the community health system. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of fenugreek intake on fasting blood sugar (FBS), HbA1C, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, blood pressure and quality of life of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Materials and Methods: This randomized, double-blinded clinical trial study was conducted on patients with T2DM in Tehran, Iran in 2018. The treatment group received 5 g of fenugreek powder, and the placebo group received 5 g of wheat flour twice daily for two months before meals. Results: This study was performed on 62 patients (50% male and 50% female). Both groups had similar demographic characteristics. The results showed a significant difference between the mean FBS (P<0.001), HgA1C (P<0.001), BMI (P<0.001), waist circumference (P<0.001), diastolic blood pressure (P=0.005), and quality of life (P=0.015). There was no significant difference in mean systolic blood pressure (P=0.189) between groups. Conclusion: Given the positive effect of fenugreek on FBS, hemoglobin, HbA1C, BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure and quality of life, it can be recommended for controlling blood glucose in diabetic patients.[GMJ. 2019;inpress:e1432]

Published: March 2019

With the increasing use and variety of gel pens on the market, forensic document examiners may encounter problems identifying gel pens from other common pen types. This study discusses the initial findings of an investigation into the history, technology, and properties of gel pens. Microscopical (visual) and chemical methods were also evaluated as ways to characterize and identify gel inks. The results of the study demonstrate that the presence of a gel ink can often be determined, but that some gel inks resemble other types of pens, especially roller balls, upon visual examination. Further, chromatographic methods used to characterize traditional dye-based inks may be less useful with gel inks; for these, other spectrometric methods including Raman spectroscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS) were evaluated and proved useful.

Authors: Phillips James G. , Noutsis Soula , Hughes Chris , Rogers Doug 
Published: March 2019

To better distinguish between traced and freehand signature simulations, 12 participants practiced upon a WACOM SD420 graphics tablet tracing a historical signature at Slow or Very Slow speeds, with a subsequent comparison of freehand and traced signature simulations. Kinematic analyses focused upon stroke efficiency and pressure, while computer algorithms determined variability of simulations around an original. Traced simulations had reduced spatial variability after practice. Very Slow simulations were more dysfluent, had greater spatial error and employed more pressure. Pen pressures varied more with speed during freehand reproductions. Writing speed was an important contributor to line quality and spatial correspondence during signature simulation.

Intramyocardial Calcification As A Rare But Significant Indication For Transfemoral TAVI?
Authors: Gerçek Mustafa , Gerçek Muhammed , Gummert Jan , Börgermann Jochen 
Published: March 2019

We report on a 69-year-old female patient with severe valvular aortic stenosis who was hospitalized for cardiac decompensation for aortic valve replacement. Preoperative imaging (X-Ray, cat-scan and CMR) revealed significant and extraordinary intramyocardial calcification pronounced globally in the left ventricle and around the mitral valve. Due to high operative/surgical risk we preferred to approach an aortic valve replacement by transfemoral transcatheter procedure (TAVI-TF). Within the context of an undeniably elevated risk for ventricular injuries and dissections in conventional operations, highly progressed myocardial calcifications should lead to consider and prefer the transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure.
Keywords: Aortic stenosis, intramyocardial calcification, transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Published: March 2019

Aim: Acute viral hepatitis B may lead to chronic hepatitis in 6% of adult population. We compared the frequency of Tumor necrosis factor alpha promotor polymorphisms in chronic hepatitis B patients and people with natural immunity against hepatitis B.
Material and Methodology: Chronic hepatitis B patients and age matched control cases with natural immunity to hepatitis B virus were recruited 1:1 in this study. Tumor necrosis factor alpha -238G/A and -308G/A polymorphisms were studied with PCR-RFLP. χ2 test was performed in statistical analysis.
Results: A total of 101 volunteers enrolled in two study groups. Thirty-eight men and 12 women constituted the chronic hepatitis B patient group and 40 men and 11 women recruited in natural immunity group. Frequency of -238G allele was 87.5% and 97% in chronic hepatitis B and natural immunity groups, respectively. Frequency of -308G allel was 93% and 92.1% in chronic hepatitis B and natural immunity groups, respectively. Frequencies of polymorphisms at positions -238 and -308 in the promotor of tumor necrosis factor alpha gene were not different between chronic hepatitis B and natural immunity groups.
Conclusion: Tumor necrosis factor alpha promoter polymorphisms at -238 and -308 positions do not effect the outcome hepatitis B infection in Turkish population. Clearance of hepatitis B virus infection is multifactorial. Thus, further studies needed to identify genetic predisposition to chronic hepatitis B infection.
Regulation and Management of Enterprises with State Participation: International Experience
Authors: Luzan S. 
Published: March 2019

The articles by the experts of the Association of Studies of Public Economics analyze the situation with firms of the state sector of the Russian economy along three directions:- qualitative analysis of Russian and foreign experience in governing the public sector of the economy;- institutional and legal analysis of state unitary enterprises (SUEs);- comparative statistical analysis of performance indicators of public and private firms in Russia.On the basis of Russian and foreign experience authors study unsuccessful attempts to create effective forms of state entrepreneurship, argue the impossibility to make positive incentives for managers within the system of "bureaucratic entrepreneurship" and the necessity to limit state intervention into economic activity by a small number of public goods which cannot be provided by markets. Authors give a number of examples of various forms of inefficient governance and misuse of public property in modern Russia. Authors study the evolution of the legal form of SUEs which was created in the Soviet-type economy, perspectives of its existence in the modern Russian legislation. They prove the contradictory nature of SUEs and make conclusion about the inevitability of transformation of this sector of the Russian economy. The results of performance indicators comparison of private and public enterprises are contradictory. Federal SUEs show significantly better results than private firms in return on sales, liquidity and financial stability though return on labor and capital (labor productivity and return on assets) is lower in the SUEs. At the same time corporations with a majority block of shares in the hands of the federal government (which are similar to the SUEs in many aspects) are the worst performers among all types of firms with state participation. Authors attempt to explain these contradictions.

Authors: Steinherr A. 
Published: March 2019

The reasons of the financial crisis of 1998 in Russia are considered in the article. It is stressed that the monetary authorities missed the chance to establish the banking sector framework in the country closer to tested Western standards. The current state of the Russian banking system is analyzed, its unresolved problems are formulated: lack of an enabling environment, difficulties with choosing the banking model, absence of a level playing field, low trust, deficiencies of regulatory framework and corporate governance. Privatization of state banks and introduction of a two-tier banking system are proposed.
Auctions for Concessions in Natural Monopoly Industries in the Context of Tariff Regulation
Authors: Martusevich R. 
Published: March 2019

Tenders for infrastructure concessions are on the agenda in Russia. The theory of the competitive biddings for concessions originates from the idea of "competition for the field", further developed by H. Demsetz into the franchise bidding theory. But so far, tenders for concessions which took place in different infrastructure sectors have questioned whether the number of bidders was high enough to expect the results (tenders outcomes) predicted by Demsetz. In the article this question is answered basing on the theory of auctions with independent private values and with the price as a single selection criterion under different business strategies of the bidders. Some recommendations are proposed. The necessity as well as some limitations of usage of such tenders’ results for natural monopolists’ tariff regulation are shown.

Ethics of Efficiency
Authors: Van Staveren I. 
Published: March 2019

The article considers problems and contradictions arising from applications of the concept of Pareto-efficiency as the most widely used criterion for evaluating efficiency of economic outcomes. The author shows that this criterion is inadequate when applied to ethical issues. An accent on utility and strict adherence to the principles of freedom of choice are impediments to the correct evaluation of perverse needs, waste of resources or preferences which are potentially harmful for others. The article proposes another efficiency criterion based on minimizing resource waste. This criterion is better suited for following the principles of equity and justice than the Pareto-efficiency concept.
