Authors: Vrublova Katerina , Filippovova Jarmila 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Climate change impacts are related to the state and land-use of agriculture landscape. Best agriculture practice principles in climate change conditions should be focused on agriculture management maintaining and enhancing the organic matters stocks in the soils. Biogeochemical carbon cycle has a serious role there. The paper deals with sugar beet dominance among agriculture crop in the frame of carbon quantification in the Czech Republic. Modelling of carbon quantification in arable lands and aboveground biomass of agriculture crop indicate importance of sugar beet, which is a dominant kind of agriculture crop for carbon sequestration in the Czech Republic.
The Never-ending Story: Czech Governments, Corruption and Populist Anti-Corruption Rhetoric (2010–2018)
Authors: Naxera Vladimír 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Corruption is a phenomenon with significant effects – economically, politically and culturally. Corruption tends to be viewed negatively by the public. As such, anti-corruption rhetoric may be an ideal election strategy for individual political parties. Nevertheless, anti-corruption rhetoric does not necessarily translate into an actual anti-corruption policy. This study analyses the impact of anti-corruption rhetoric that does not reflect the actual practices of its speaker and has been used strategically to gain favour. My focus is on elections and the subsequent formation and exercise of government in the Czech Republic. I analyse how anti-corruption rhetoric directed at political opponents works as an election success strategy. At the same time, I show how electoral success, transformed into real political power, strengthens the ability of actors to engage in activities that amount to borderline or outright corruption, irrespective of any anti-corruption rhetoric.
Numerical analysis of a serial connection of two staged SOFC stacks in a CHP system fed by methane using Aspen TECH
Authors: Pianko-Oprych Paulina , Palus Mateusz 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The objective of the study was to develop a steady-state system model in Aspen TECH using user-defined subroutines to predict the SOFC electrochemical performance. In order to achieve high overall fuel utilization and thus high electrical efficiency, a concept of Combined Heat and Power system with two-stage SOFC stacks of different number of cells was analyzed. The concept of two-stage SOFC stacks based system was developed in the framework of the FP7 EU-funded project STAGE-SOFC. The model was validated against data gathered during the operation of the proof-of-concept showing good agreement with the comparative simulation data. Following model validation, further simulations were performed for different values of fuel utilization to analyze its influence on system electrical performance. Simulation results showed that the concept of two-stage SOFC stacks configuration was viable and reliable. The model can be useful for development the optimal control strategy for system under safe conditions.
Inulin as an effectiveness and safe ingredient in cosmetics
Authors: Nizioł-Łukaszewska Zofia , Bujak Tomasz , Wasilewski Tomasz , Szmuc Edyta 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) and chicory (Cichorium intybus) are valuable pharmaceutical raw materials on account of their high content of inulin, a natural prebiotic. Inulin-rich plants are also increasingly employed in the formulation of cosmetic products. The paper presents the biological properties of aqueous and aqueous-ethanolic extracts of Jerusalem artichoke and chicory. The extracts have been found to have a high free radical scavenging ability, with the most beneficial antioxidant properties being observed for the aqueous-ethanolic extract of Jerusalem artichoke. Inulin isolated from both plant types is a safe and non-toxic raw material. Inulin added to model body wash gel formulations markedly reduces their potential to cause skin irritation and sensitization.
Activated carbons from common nettle as potential adsorbents for CO2 capture
Authors: Szymańska Alicja , Skoczek Amelia , Przepiórski Jacek 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Activated carbons (ACs) prepared from common nettle (Urtica Dioica L.) were studied in terms of carbon dioxide adsorption. ACs were prepared by KOH chemical activation in a nitrogen atmosphere at temperatures (ranging from 500 to 850°C). The pore structure and the surface characterization of the ACs were specified based on adsorption-desorption isotherms of nitrogen measured at –196°C and carbon dioxide at 0°C. The specific surface area was calculated according to the BET equation. The pore volume was estimated using the DFT method. The highest values of the specific surface area (SSA) showed activated carbons produced at higher carbonization temperatures. All samples revealed presence of micropores and mesopores with a diameter range of 0.3–10 nm. The highest value of the CO2 adsorption, 4.22 mmol/g, was found for the material activated at 700°C.
Application of Chosen Data Mining Methods in Predicting Abnormal Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents
Authors: Sowińska Anna , Miechowicz Izabela 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Hypertension is a common disease in highly industrialized societies, more often perceived as a health problem in adults rather than children. However, epidemiologists are currently paying more attention to the possibility of idiopathic hypertension during childhood. This article compares three classification models (logistic regression, classification trees and MARSplines) in order to determine the best classification model and distinguish the parameters that are most important in the detection of abnormal blood pressure in children. The study group consisted of 1,378 children aged between 7 and 18. After making comparisons between the methods, it was determined that MARSplines is the model that best assigns subjects to classes and can be an alternative in cases when traditional statistical methods cannot be used due to a lack of fulfillment of conditions. For prediction of abnormal blood pressure in this age group, the most important parameters were the heart rate and selected indicators of body proportions.

Published: March 2019

Abstract
Public universities in Poland receive fairly limited financial support for creating e-textbooks (interactive online textbooks) and lack the appropriate ICT competences among teaching staff, especially in the case of non-technical universities. The authors propose a pedagogical and technological paradigm for e-textbooks in medical education using open source software with minimal IT skills required. Technologies used to develop e-textbooks are connected with: publication and distribution of e-textbooks, e-book readers, and editing tools. The paper also discusses a survey that targeted students of medical sciences, which focused on their understanding of their educational needs that can be met through new online resources as well as their expectations of how such e-textbooks should be like.

Published: March 2019

Abstract
A study on the seasonal variation in population structure of seven (7) ungulate species, African buffalo (Syncerus caffer), eland (Tragelaphus oryx), giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis), oryx (Oryx gazella), sable (Hippotragus niger), roan antelope (Hippotragus equinus) and the greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) was carried out using the field census approach during the wet (February– April) and dry (July–September) season, and a water hole census (September) at seven waterholes in the Waterberg National Park, Namibia. Male warthog, oryx and black rhino on average comprised about 40 % of the population, whereas male sable, roan antelope, eland and buffalo comprised 30 % of the population. Male kudu and male white rhino comprised 20 % of the sex structure of the population, whereas male giraffe comprised more than 50 % of population. Age structure was dominated by adults, with 60 % of the total population in warthog, sable, eland and the white rhino, and 70 % in kudu, roan, buffalo, giraffe and black rhino on average. Oryx had the highest number of adults, with only 10 % of the population comprised of juveniles. Larger herds were observed during the wet season and smaller herds during the dry season. Animals were observed more abundantly in three of the vegetation types (Terminalia sericea — Melhania acuminata vegetation, Terminalia sericea — Thesium megalocarpum, Terminalia sericea — Blepharis integrifolia), with lower abundances in the rock-inhabiting Peltophorum africanum during both seasons.

Published: March 2019

Abstract
Morphological characteristics were studied in adult and embryonic Amidostomum anseris (Zeder, 1800) obtained from domestic goose Anser anser domesticus Linnaeus, 1758. The studied characters included species-specific morphometric indices of male and female specimens and differential characters of sex-related dimorphism in that species. Stages and periods of embryonic development, and viability of the nematodes were studied at laboratory conditions. Size dimorphism in A. anseris was considerable, females were significantly larger (by 10.09–27.98 %) than males by 11 parameters. Additional metric characters were proposed to enhance effectiveness of differentiation of female and male A. anseris specimens. Under laboratory conditions, embryonic development of A. anseris occurs in four stages: blastomere cleavage; larval formation; formation of non-infective larvae I and II; formation of infective larva III which hatches from the egg. Infective larvae develop at 23 °С in six days, and their viability was up to 78.33 ± 2.08 %.

Published: March 2019

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to examine the growth pattern and condition factors of the naleh fish, Barbonymus gonionotus Bleeker, 1849 in Nagan River, Nagan Raya District, Aceh Province, Indonesia. The sampling was conducted for 12 months from January 2016 to December 2016 using the explorative survey method. The sampling locations were determined based on the information given by local fishermen. A total of 761 fish samples were collected during the study. The Linear Allometric Model (LAM), Fulton’s and Relative Weight conditions factors were utilized to analyze the length-weight relationship and condition factor of the fish using growth parameters. The results showed that the highest coefficient of b was recorded in December, where the b value of males were 3.82 and 4.23 for the females with the average b value of males and females were 2.92 indicating an isometric growth pattern. The average Fulton’s condition factor (K) was 2.28 and the average Relative weight (Wr) condition factor was 100.59. It is concluded that fish had the isometric growth pattern and based on K and Wr value, the result implies that the waters are still in a good condition. Furthermore, the availability of food sources, low competitors, and low predators indicate that the aquatic environment is in a stable condition.
Why is the Entrepreneurial University Important?
Authors: Hannon Paul D. 
Published: March 2019

Entrepreneurship in higher education is now recognized as important as a major driver to underpin innovation. It is also viewed as an appropriate response to succeeding in highly turbulent and unpredictable environments. However confusion remains over its conceptualization, meaning and value as institutional leaders seek ways to understand where this strategically fits within the organization and educational leaders seek to understand how best to embed entrepreneurship within its education and learning opportunities. This paper highlights the challenges faced by universities in becoming entrepreneurial and in creating environments within which entrepreneurial mindsets and behaviors are developed. The author builds on work undertaken in his previous role as CEO of the National Centre for Entrepreneurship in Education in the UK, current work with the European Commission and highlights practices undertaken in his new role to build an entrepreneurial university.

Authors: Jaring Päivi , Bäck Asta , Komssi Marko , Käki Juha 
Published: March 2019

The popularity of social media and microblogging services, like Twitter, has increased in a fast manner over the last couple of years. Their use in innovation process and marketing has also gained a lot of attention. However, product and service acceleration -i.e. bringing a product or service faster to the market- with the help of social media and especially by using Twitter has not been researched much, in spite of the fact that new marketing techniques like growth hacking -which aims on low-cost and innovative alternatives to traditional marketing- have reached popularity. In this paper, we define the concept of acceleration and analyse via literature and a real-life, explorative case study, how Twitter could be used for accelerating products and services. Our case study analyses the experiences and data from four Twitter accounts created for accelerating two software applications. According to our research, Twitter has potential for product and services acceleration, but it requires taking into account many aspects and challenges that are summarized in this paper.
Company Value Creation through Effective Innovation Process Management
Authors: Špacek Miroslav , Vacík Emil 
Published: March 2019

Company value creation is considered a significant metric to measure corporate success. One possible method is the launch of innovative products that potentially attract new customers and capture a reasonable market share. This discussion highlights examples wherein heightening innovation activities through incremental increases in Research and Development spending, the number of innovative products in the sales funnel, as well as those innovative products in the marketplace impact company value. Yet, another company value driver, worthy of consideration, is the effective management of innovation processes. The Stage Gate Control Process embodies a recognized framework for effective innovation process management. Central to this manuscript is the case of PharmaComm, a pharmaceutical company that developed a customized version of the Stage Gate Control Process. By this way PharmaComm accelerated new products development and shortened time to launch. In adapting this methodology, it multiplied company value during the acquisition process.
Sticky Transformation – How path dependencies in socio-technical regimes are impeding the transformation to a Green Economy
Authors: Clausen Jens , Göll Edgar , Tappeser Valentin 
Published: March 2019

Many works in innovation research use path dependencies to explain the fact that change is often difficult to achieve. With regard to a transition to a green economy specific path dependencies are identified in the sectors of energy, mobility, housing and food in Germany. The paper looks into technological, economical, organizational, user-specific and legal path dependencies. For a successful transition to a green economy, the role of the state seems to be central. In many areas of transition, transitional regulation is full of loopholes and does not work. Activity of lobby groups prevents society from setting path-changing regulation.
Innovation in the First Mission of Universities
Authors: Fernández Loreto , Fernández Sara , Rey Lucía , Bobillo María 
Published: March 2019

There is an extensive literature on characteristics of “entrepreneurial” or “innovative” universities. As both terms have generally been used to refer to the same condition, different rankings of entrepreneurial universities use indicators universally recognized for innovative activity and primarily related to research and knowledge transfer (scholarly production, patents granted and licensed, number of firms created to exploit research results, etc.).
Innovation is essentially grounded in an entrepreneurial mentality, but an innovative university (hereafter, IU) is one that transmits this mentality to all of its members, including the foremost among its central missions: education. The IU is a university that becomes a driver of economic and social development in the region in which it is established, seeking to improve society through knowledge.
In recent years, various attempts have been made to “measure” this innovative/ entrepreneurial character in a more technical way. In a prior study, we proposed a characterization of an entrepreneurial and innovative university. Here, we build on that study to define the IU. The originality of this proposal stems from its inclusion of the so-called third and fourth missions (knowledge transfer and social responsibility, respectively) as transversal elements implicit in the university’s two central missions. In an IU, therefore, the university’s relationship with and impact on its surrounding agents are essential aspects entwined with its two basic functions.

Влияние русских традиций на формирование усадебно-жилищного комплекса хакасов в Хакасско-Минусинском крае в XIX–XX вв.
Authors: Tuguzhekova Valentina N. , Prischepa Evgeny V. 
Published: March 2019

Статья посвящена проблемам развития усадебно-жилищного комплекса коренных жителей Хакасско-Минусинского края в XIX–XX вв. Культурно-экономические связи хакасов с русскими в результате освоения и заселения края привели к соприкосновению разных культурных традиций, что послужило началу процессов культурного взаимодействия. Важное место в этом взаимодействии занимает развитие и эволюция основных типов их усадебно-жилищных комплексов.Процессы развития единого жилищно-усадебного комплекса хакасов начинались с трансформаций традиционных поселений, появления смешанных форм усадебно-жилищных комплексов с активной нивелировкой этнически значимых черт и сохранением лишь отдельных традиционных элементов. Постепенно распространение хозяйственных построек русского образца становится в крае повсеместным. В результате уже в начале ХХ в. происходит складывание локальной хакасской усадьбы, в которой в пределах зимника и летника располагаются заимствованные у русских хозяйственные постройки и жилища, а коренные жители находятся на постоянном местожительстве. Для второй половины ХХ в. характерно уже складывание усадебно-жилищного комплекса хакасов на манер русской строительной традиции: с уличной застройкой, комплексом хозяйственных и жилищных построек земледельческо-скотоводческой направленности.
A Brief Survey of Text Mining Applications for the Oil and Gas Industry
Authors: Noshi Christine 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Data bases of numerous oil and gas companies embrace very promising potential for more informed decision-making processes. Furthermore, there is an exponential growth in the influx of generated data from an escalating parade of systems encompassing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), machine instrumentation, sensory networks, and escalating mixed-media and different unlabeled data. Despite that, extracting meaningful value from zettabyte-sized datasets remains problematic given the uncontrollable wealth of data and its subsequent noise caveats. Amongst those data warehouses, are a multitude of textual information. Accordingly, Text mining has garnered worldwide interest, as it is a crucial phase in the process of knowledge discovery automatically extracting unstructured to semi-structured information. The following survey covers Text Mining methods and approaches to explain their effectiveness in information retrieval from textual databases from various sources. Moreover, the situational types where each technique may be beneficial are explored.
