Tolerance and Human Resources in Science and Technology in East Asia
Authors: Park Stephan Si-Hwan 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
This article tries to pursue three goals: first, how can a hard-to-define cultural concept such as tolerance in society be measured? Second, is it possible to draw conclusions about the tolerance level of a nation on the basis of an analysis of web search behaviour? And third, is there a relationship between the tolerance level in East Asian societies and their ability to attract highly qualified knowledge workers? Taking as its starting point Richard Florida’s claim that a high tolerance level in society represents an essential pull factor for attracting the most sought-after people in the world, this article analyses and interprets web search behaviour among Google users residing in Japan, Korea and China in order to identify issues related to tolerance in East Asia.
The Facilitation of Child Development in a Japanese Nursery School
Authors: Christina Ellensohn 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
This paper aims to explore the topic of facilitating children’s development in a Japanese day-care centre (hoikuen). The research is based on a case study with participant observation in the daycare facility Minami Ōsawa Nursery School in Tōkyō. After a short overview on preschool education in Japan and an introduction to Minami Ōsawa Nursery School, the three main topics of child development around the age of five years-cognitive, social-emotional and motor development- will be further explored. These three areas will be defined more precisely in the context of the selfproclaimed aims and daily routine of the hoikuen team. Furthermore the importance of a child’s autonomy is addressed.
On the Way to a Sustainable Energy Policy in Japan and South Korea
Authors: Schneeweiss Elisabeth 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to examine the sustainability of Japan’s and South Korea’s energy policies. For the analysis, categories framed by Holgar Rogall for identifying a sustainable energy policy were used. Using official data from the UN and government authorities of both countries as well as secondary literature, a comparison of international goals and legal norms and an analysis of developments in energy policy since 1990 were conducted. Their results show that Japan and South Korea pursue quite different energy policies. In more than half of the criteria, Japan can be seen as having a sustainable energy policy. The country still has to improve its use of energy sources, as it is too dependent on fossil fuels and thus needs to accelerate the development of renewable energies. South Korea’s energy policy, however, cannot yet be classified as sustainable. The government still rejects international commitments regarding climate change, a conclusion that is reflected in development since 1990: greenhouse gases rising at a high speed, coupled with low energy efficiency and dependence on fossil fuels. Despite sharing the same basic conditions, the energy policies of Japan and South Korea differ fundamentally.
Shadows Under a Rising Sun: Utopia and Its Dark Side in Kirino Natsuo’s Poritikon
Authors: Gregus Adam 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Kirino Natsuo, arguably one of the most popular contemporary Japanese authors in Western markets (a number of her novels having been translated into English, German, French, Italian, Dutch or Spanish, among other languages) who is often being recognised as a mystery writer, only enjoys limited acknowledgment for the thematic breadth and genre diversity of her work. Such description is not only inaccurate (Kirino published her last true mystery novel in 2002), but also manifests itself in the limited and underdeveloped treatment of her work in Western academic writing. This paper deals with Kirino Natsuo’s 2011 novel Poritikon (Politikon) and its analysis within the greater context of Kirino’s work. A focus is put upon introducing the novel as utopian fiction with the aim to illustrate ways in which Kirino Natsuo utilises utopian genre patterns as well as how her utopia works to provide a commentary on contemporary Japan. The utopian theme present in Poritikon makes the novel a rather untypical entry in Kirino’s oeuvre (although not a unique one, since her novels Tōkyō-jima [Tokyo Island, 2008 1 ] and Yasashii otona [Gentle Adults, 2010] also work with elements of utopian/dystopian fiction) as well as within the Japanese literary scene in general, and provides an interesting argument for Kirino Natsuo as more than ‘just’ a mystery writer.
Is Russia Rationally Developing its Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises? An Analysis of Regional Production Functions
Authors: Iuliia Pinkovetskaia , Maria Ginzburg 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine if it makes sense to further stimulate the development of small and medium-sized businesses in Russia by the State. For this purpose, the authors formulated the following hypotheses: production functions can be used to explore opportunities to promote SMEs in Russia (hypothesis 1). However, if the values of degrees of factors are positive, it can be argued that SMEs development can be achieved by State measures to facilitate an increase in labour costs and investment in fixed assets of SMEs (hypothesis 2). To check formulated hypotheses we have developed production functions, which reflect dependences between SMEs turnover from investments in fixed assets and employees wage. Regression analysis was used to determine the parameters of production functions. While conducting calculations, we used the data of total observation of SMEs activities, provided by the Federal Statistical Service in 83 regions of the Russian Federation for the year 2015. Taking into consideration an important role of SMEs in Russian economy, the results of this research might help government bodies in resource distribution for particular regions and sectors of economy in these regions. From methodological point of view this research shows, that production functions might be used in Development Strategy of SMEs for the period of up to 2030, which establishes double production growth in SMEs.
Macroeconomic and Demographic Determinants of Residential Property Prices in Malaysia
Authors: Trofimov Ivan D. , Aris Nazaria Md. , Xuan Dickson C. D. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
This paper studies the relationship between residential property prices and macroeconomic and demographic determinants in Malaysia. In the years following the Asian financial crisis, property prices in Malaysia rose substantially, resulting in an affordability crisis and ultimately policy responses to the problem. Using unit root, Johansen-Juselius cointegration, VECM-based Granger causality tests and variance decomposition, and considering quarterly data that covers 2000-2015 period, we established that residential property price growth is principally driven by strong demographic performance and population growth and is backed by the low interest rate environment and rising consumer prices. Household income and level of GDP do not appear to contribute to property price growth. Certain distortions and asymmetries in the Malaysian real estate markets are documented: oversupply in the higher price segment of the market coupled with the lack of affordable housing in the lower price segment; household income growth lagging behind GDP and property price growth, thereby dampening housing demand; growing rental markets in major urban areas as a result of the affordability crisis; and a quality mismatch between buyers’ preferences and housing supply.

Authors: SanJuan Mérida Ana , Ceròn Islas Arlen , Ceròn Islas Heidy 
Published: December 2018

Decidir cuándo tiene sentido perseguir estrategias de posición, apalancamiento u oportunidad, la clave es mira primero las circunstancias inmediatas, actuales recursos y las relaciones entre los diversos recursos. Comprender estos factores te ayudará comenzar con el marco estratégico correcto observando recursos disponibles, ventaja competitiva y el dinamismo de la industria.
Para poder elegir el tipo de estrategia es necesario considerar las siguientes opciones:
1. La estrategia de posición, utilizar cuando las industrias son estables y tienen bien identificada la ventaja competitiva.
2. La estrategia de apalancamiento, se utiliza en mercados donde el cambio es moderado, apalancamiento las estrategias a menudo superan las estrategias de posición; hace sentido para los gerentes para coevolucionar estratégicamente sus recursos importantes con la industria.
3. La estrategia de oportunidad, desarrollar en el mercado donde las industrias dinámicas son caracterizado por flujos superabundantes de rápido movimiento pero a menudo oportunidades impredecibles.
Artistic Representations of Urban Shamans in Contemporary Japan
Texts, Inter-actions and Efficacy
Authors: Rivadossi Silvia 
Published: December 2018

This paper will investigate how the Japanese urban shamanic actor and role is constructed and represented by artists in different texts. Three case studies – writer Taguchi Randy, contemporary artist Mori Mariko, and musician Sugee – will be presented to illustrate the processes of re-appropriation of terms and themes in the contemporary narrative on urban shamans. The use of the word shāman – with new meanings attached – and the role of connecting humans with other-than-human entities – and especially with nature – will be analysed. Moreover, the connection to the so-called ‘new spirituality’ will be emphasized.
FEATURES OF THE CONFORMATION TYPE OF DAIRY CATTLE OF DIFFERENT ORIGIN AND CORRELATIVE VARIABILITY OF LINEAR TYPE TRAITS WITH MILK YIELD COWS OF HOLSTEIN BREED
Authors: Khmelnychyi L. M. , Vechorka V. V. , Khmelnychyi S. L. 
Published: December 2018

Researches were carried out on estimation cows of Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy and Holstein breeds by the method of linear classification in the herd of pedigree farm LLC "Vladana" in Sumy region. When comparing cows of Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy with Holstein, the improving influence sires of Holstein breed on the development of conformation of cows in the herd according to indicators of the linear assessment by 100-point system was found. The difference was based on the group traits of dairy type 1,1 score, legs – 1,3, udder – 1,6 and final score – 1,2. In all comparisons, the difference was highly reliable at P < 0.001. By descriptive traits improvement with a significant difference were observed in height (by 0,3 scores; P < 0,05), body depth (by 0,3 scores; P < 0,05), rump width (by 0,6 scores; P < 0,001), angle of pelvic limbs (by 0,4 scores, P < 0,001), foot angle (by 0,9 scores, P < 0,001), front udder attachment (by 0,4 scores, P < 0,001), central ligament (by 0,8 scores; P < 0,001), udder depth (by 0,9 scores; P < 0,001) and teats length (by 0,3 scores; P < 0.01). Animals of Holstein breed compared to Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy became more narrow-chested (by 0,7 scores; P < 0,001). The identified relationships between linear traits and value of milk yield of first-born cows in the controlled herd were determined the existence of a reliable correlation between estimation both for individual complexes of conformation traits and overall assessment by 100-point classification system (r = 0,198–0,464; P < 0,001). Positive and reliable correlation with milk yield was observed by a number of descriptive traits: height (r = 0,359), body depth (r = 0,384), angularity (r = 0,474), rump width (r = 0,311), posture of pelvic limbs (r = 0,361), foot angle (r = 0,273), front (r = 0,355) and rear udder attachment (r = 0,330), central ligament (r = 0,311), locomotion (r = 0,305). Body condition score was correlated negatively (r = -0,168). Thus, the determined correlations between linear traits of the conformation and milk yield for lactation have been indicated the reliability of selection of cows by conformation type, simultaneously improving milk production. The using sires of Holstein breed during absorbed crossing with Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy breed have been improved linear traits of the conformation type in their offspring. Positive relationship between group and main descriptive linear traits characterizing conformation, and value of milk yield would be facilitated by efficient indirect selection based on the type and productivity.
The Career Destination, Progression, and Satisfaction of Exercise and Sports Science Graduates in Australia
Authors: Stevens Christopher J. , Lawrence Alex , Pluss Matthew A. , Nancarrow Susan 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
Background: The availability of higher education courses/degrees in exercise and sports science has increased exponentially over the last 20 years. Graduates of these courses/degrees have many career possibilities; however, the distribution of the occupations is relatively unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of exercise and sports science graduates in Australia.
Methods: Australian exercise and sports science graduates (n = 747) completed an online survey about their occupation and employment conditions, career progression, and satisfaction.
Results: Approximately 70% of graduates were employed in the exercise and sports science workforce (57% full time, 25% part time, and 18% casual). Their occupations were predominately accredited exercise physiologists (29%), personal trainers/fitness leaders (9%), and teaching/research academics (8%). A total of 42% had a postgraduate qualification, and 40% had a clear progression pathway in their exercise and sports science role. Graduates were predominately extremely satisfied (35%) or somewhat satisfied (48%) with their current situation, and half (49%) planned to remain in their occupation for more than 10 years.
Conclusion: Despite most graduates obtaining exercise and sports science employment, many are part time or casual and still seeking full-time work. The workforce is highly educated and well supported, but many occupations lack a clear developmental pathway.
БИОРАЗНООБРАЗИЕ БАКТЕРИАЛЬНЫХ АНСАМБЛЕЙ В БУРОЙ ЛЕСНОЙ ПОДЗОЛИСТОЙ ПОЧВЕ ПОД СОСНОЙ КОРЕЙСКОЙ
Authors: Наумова Наталья Борисовна 
Published: December 2018

Цель исследования. Целью работы было изучение генетического разнообразия и структуры бактериальных ансамблей бурой лесной подзолистой почвы и выявление их взаимосвязи с почвенно-химическими и почвенно-микробиологическими свойствами.
Место и время проведения. Образцы валовой и ризосферной бурой лесной подзолистой почвы отобрали осенью 2014 года из слоя 0-20 см (сразу под подстилкой) с делянок длительного полевого опыта с сосной корейской в Хабаровском крае.
Методология. Отбирали образцы валовой почвы, а также почвы ризосферы корней сосны путем осторожного встряхивания корней и сбора оставшейся на них почвы. В отобранных образцах почвы определяли химические (pH, содержание органического вещества, обменных форм питательных элементов) и микробиологические (содержание биомассы почвенных микроорганизмов, базальное и субстрат-индуцированное дыхание почвы) свойства, а также экстрагировали метагеномную ДНК. Эту ДНК использовали в качестве матрицы для амплификации гипервариабельных районов (V3-V4) генов 16S рРНК с помощью универсальных бактериальных праймеров, и ампликоны секвенировали с помощью Illumina MiSeq. Полученные последовательности идентифицировали до индивидуальных операционных таксономических единиц (ОТЕ) на уровне сходства 97%. Далее матрицы данных с обилием ридов ОТЕ анализировали с помощью методов главных компонент, многомерного шкалирования и дисперсионного анализа. Также рассчитывали индексы α- и β- разнообразия
Основные результаты. В бактериальных ансамблях бурой лесной подзолистой почвы под сосной корейской в естественных для нее условиях было выялено 400 ОТЕ, из которых 42 являлись доминантными, т.е. имели вклад ≥1% в общее число последовательностей). Основными типами являлись Acidobacteria (34% общего числа последовательностей), Proteobacteria (25%) и Actinobacteria (9%). При этом видовое богатство бактериальных ансамблей было определено первым доминирующим типом, а выравненность – вторым доминирующим типом. Основными классами оказались Alphaproteobacteria (21%), группа 1 Acidobacteria (13%) и Ktedonobacteria (12%). Среди первых 5 доминантных ОТЕ две ОТЕ встречались во всех образцах, и это были ОТЕ, относящиеся к Rhizobiales, т.е. азотфиксирующим бактериям. Индексы α-разнообразия не отличались между образцами, а индекс β- разнообразия были больше для образцов с разных делянок, чем для образцов валовой и ризосферной почвы.
Заключение. Впервые выявлен состав бактериальных ансамблей бурой лесной подзолистой почвы под сосной корейской в искусственном моновидовом фитоценозе в естественных для этого вида условиях окружающей среды. Доминирование азотфиксирующих организмов в почве под сосной корейской свидетельствует об особой важности азотфиксации для роста и развития этого высокопродуктивного вида. Впервые выявленная положительная связь видового разнообразия ансамблей почвенных бактерий с содержанием микробиального углерода в органическом веществе почвы важна для расширения диапазона значимости этого показателя как стандартного индикатора качества почвы.
Des recettes marchandes pour un service public, une stratégie paradoxale ?
Authors: Tahar Caroline 
Published: December 2018

Cet article analyse comment un établissement public hybride peut gérer un paradoxe de service lié à sa double logique de service public et de service au client. Le bénéficiaire de la prestation est au centre des contradictions entre logiques sociale et commerciale : usager dans l’une, client dans l’autre. Une recherche intervention met en évidence la nécessité de le réintégrer dans la gestion d’un tel paradoxe, soit comme référence externe pour les acteurs internes à l’organisation, soit comme acteur externe de la résolution des contradictions.

Published: December 2018

Son yıllarda giderek önemini arttıran post modern
pazarlama kavramları arasında önemli bir yer edinen “Tribal Marketing” ya da
Türkçe’ye çevirisi ile “Topluluk/Kabile Pazarlaması”, iş hayatının
vazgeçilmezleri arasında olmaya başlamıştır. İlk olarak modern insanın kabile
anlayışını nasıl benimsediği sorusu akla gelmekle birlikte, insanların kabile
ya da topluluk olarak gördükleri ve davranışlarını etkileyen gruplardan ilk
insandan günümüze kadar geçen her an söz edilebilir. Geleneksel eski
zamanlardaki fiziki kabilelerin yerini modern ve daha soyut kabileler almaya
başlamıştır. İnsanlar kendilerini birden fazla topluluk ya da kabilenin ferdi
olarak hissedebilmekte, bazen bu grupların ikisi ya da fazlası tüketimleri
üzerinde etkili olabilmektedir. Özellikle son zamanlarda sosyal medya da bu
etkileşim gruplarını daha soyut ancak daha güçlü bağ kurulabilen bir hale
dönüştürmektedir. Bireyler başkalarıyla bağ kurabilmek için bilinçli ya da
bilinçsiz olarak iletişim kurmak zorundadır. Bireyler bu iletişim sürecinde
bilgi, duygu ve düşüncelerini de paylaşmaktadır. Bireyin içinde bulunduğu
topluluk içerisinde yaptığı paylaşımların bireyin kendisini yansıttığı
düşünülmektedir. Hatta bireyin aidiyet hissettiği topluluk içerisindeki
tükettikleri onun kendini ifade biçimi olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada yeni bir
pazarlama stratejisi olan kabile pazarlaması kavramı ve bu kavramın tüketim ile
ilişkisi kavramsal açıdan ele alınmaktadır.
RECRUITMENT OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE INSTRUCTORS AT THE SCHOOLS OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN TURKEY: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
Authors: KILIÇKAYA Ferit 
Published: December 2018

This study aimed to present a discussion on the selection and
recruitment of English language instructors in Turkey and focusing on the
issues and challenges arising as well as the views provided by the current
English language instructors and the candidates. The study adopted a
mixed-method approach benefiting from quantitative data through the online
survey as well as qualitative data involving semi-structured interviews
conducted with randomly selected participants. The study included a five-point
Likert scale survey that was composed of 14 statements used to allow 200 participants
to express how they disagreed or agreed with a particular statement.&nbsp; The statements were published as a survey on
Google Forms and were shared on several social networking sites such as
Facebook. The results of the study indicated that the requirements such as the
minimum scores on ALES and language proficiency tests should be reconsidered
while calculating the total scores for the selection and recruitment process.
The results also revealed that the interviews appeared a real matter of
considerable concern for the great majority of the participants as the
questions asked during the interviews were not structured or standardized to
allow comparisons among candidates and that issue of serious concern were
voiced by the participants on the specific requirements in job announcements.
