However, there is no characterization of starch properties of MOCAF. The efforts to improve the quality of starch from cassava starch by fermentation process using a combination of enzymes and microbes from Lactic acid bacteria.The purpose of this research is to determine the influence of fermentation time to yield and moisture content. Single factor randomized block design with 3 (three) levels i.e fermentation time (0, 12, and 24 hours) with two group namely varieties of cassava Cimanggu and Kaspro. Cimanggu and Kaspro cassava varieties were used to compare the properties of starch due to different fermentation time (0, 12 and 24 hours) with triplicate. The results showed the yield and moisture content were affected by fermentation time. Average moisture content ranged from 13.3 to 13.8% with the starch yield is 38-59%. Application of starch MOCAF can be used for food, cosmetics, and medicines industry.Keywords : modified starch, cassava, fermentation, yield

We investigate the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point of such mappings. We also list some examples to illustrate our results that unify and generalize the several well-known results including the famous Banach contraction mapping principle.
Connecting the Last.fm Dataset to LyricWiki and MusicBrainz. Lyrics-based experiments in genre classification
Authors: Bodó Zalán , Szilágyi Eszter 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Music information retrieval has lately become an important field of information retrieval, because by profound analysis of music pieces important information can be collected: genre labels, mood prediction, artist identification, just to name a few. The lack of large-scale music datasets containing audio features and metadata has lead to the construction and publication of the Million Song Dataset (MSD) and its satellite datasets. Nonetheless, mainly because of licensing limitations, no freely available lyrics datasets have been published for research.
In this paper we describe the construction of an English lyrics dataset based on the Last.fm Dataset, connected to LyricWiki’s database and MusicBrainz’s encyclopedia. To avoid copyright issues, only the URLs to the lyrics are stored in the database. In order to demonstrate the eligibility of the compiled dataset, in the second part of the paper we present genre classification experiments with lyrics-based features, including bagof-n-grams, as well as higher-level features such as rhyme-based and statistical text features. We obtained results similar to the experimental outcomes presented in other works, showing that more sophisticated textual features can improve genre classification performance, and indicating the superiority of the binary weighting scheme compared to tf–idf.

Published: January 2019

Abstract
In this work, an adaptive nonlinear control method, was applied to a synchronous generator and we give some initial results on the adaptive control of nonlinear systems which are exactly input-output linearizable by state feedback. Parameters adaptation is used as a technique to robustify the exact cancelation of nonlinear terms, which is called for the linearization technique. The performance of the proposed adaptive nonlinear control scheme is demonstrated by simulation results. These results show that the proposed method achieves the same high dynamic performance as vector control.
Impact Assessment of EU Funds on Company’s Performance in the Fish Processing Industry: The Case of Croatia
Authors: Božanić Katarina 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
IPARD is a pre-accession Programme that was implemented in the Republic of Croatia in the pre-accession period. Its main objectives were to assist candidate countries and potential candidate countries in their harmonization and implementation of the EU acquis, as well as preparation for utilization of the future EU funds. Given that IPARD pre-funding resources of the European Union enabled the financing of the modernization of the production plants of the fish processing industry, this paper analyzed the impact of the used funds on the a) business performance and b) business (organizational) capacity of IPARD users from the fish processing industry. The research was conducted in a non-experimental way divided into two parts: (1) an analysis of a set of indicators of business performance of companies from the sample (users of pre-accession EU funds) and (2) through a survey that examined the impact of using these resources on improving business (organizational) capacity. The results show that the profitability indicators of most users were not increased two years after the funds were received. But it is expected that the improved technical and technological conditions will help businesses in the future to increase the competitiveness of their products. When it comes to the results of the impact on business ability, it is evident that management has improved its capacities in terms of acquiring and developing the skills of preparing and running projects, investment planning or strengthening the willingness to use similar means in the future.
The challenge of death and ethics of social consequences: Death of moral agency
Authors: Kalajtzidis Ján 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The present paper focuses on the issue of death from the perspective of ethics of social consequences. To begin with, the paper summarizes Peter Singer’s position on the issue of brain death and on organ procurement related to the definition of death. For better understanding of the issue, an example from real life is used. There are at least three prominent sets of views on what it takes to be called dead. All those views are shortly presented and analysed. Later, the theory of ethics of social consequences is briefly presented. The paper looks for the position of this ethical theory in connection to the issue of death. The issue of organ procurement, which is closely connected to the problem of defining death, is used as a means for a better understanding of the issue. The issue of death is studied through the categories of moral subject and moral object. Using the standpoint of ethics of social consequences enables us to distinguish between the death of a moral agent and the death of the organism. That helps to soften many issues associated with the topic.
The Impact of Human Resources Management on Job Involvement. The Mediating Role of Vertical Trust
Authors: Lewicka Dagmara , Pec Monika 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The purpose of the study was to identify the relationship between Human Resources Management system (HRM system), vertical trust, and job involvement. This type of involvement in work is considered very important for an organisation because it affects the added value generated employees. It is also associated with the well-being felt by individuals and testifies to the satisfaction of their psychological needs. The study was conducted on a group of 227 employees of large and medium-size entities. The application of the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) made it possible to confirm the relationship between the HRM system and job involvement with the mediating role of vertical trust in the examined relationship. In order to verify to what extent the job involvement variation can be explained by the HRM system, a multi-dimensional linear regression analysis was applied.
Financial Development and Investment in Botswana: A Multivariate Causality Test
Authors: Muyambiri Brian , Odhiambo Nicholas M. 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
This paper examines the causal relationship between financial development and investment in Botswana between 1976 and 2014. The autoregressive distributed-lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach and a trivariate Granger-causality model are employed. In order to capture the breadth and depth of the financial sector in the study country, both bank- and market-based financial development indices are used. The results show that there is a bidirectional Granger-causal relationship between both bank-based and market-based financial development and investment in the short run. In the long run, a distinct causal flow is found to prevail only from investment to bank-based financial development. Given the findings, the causal relationship between financial development and investment is not a given as implied in economic literature. For Botswana, policies that enhance both investment and market-based financial development should be employed in the short run.
The Business Cycle and Cycles in The Banking Sector in The Polish Economy in The Years 2000‒2017
Authors: Barczyk Ryszard 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Apart from general business cycles, market economies are characterized by their specific cycles, which also include banking cycles. Fluctuations whose sequence over time creates the banking cycles are absolute or/and relative changes in the activity of banks, manifested in the form of oscillations in the supply of money and bank credits granted for investment or consumption purposes.
The aim of this article is to analyze the influence of general business cycles on changes in the activity of the central bank and commercial banks, and to examine a returnable relationship between banking activities and business cycles. The paper consists of two parts. The first one presents a theoretical hypothesis connected with the analyzed relations. The second part contains the results of the empirical analysis of the morphology of the cycles identified in the Polish economy. In the process of identifying the cycles under analysis, the concept of deviation cycles was taken into account. Deseasonalization was conducted using the Tramo/Seats procedure as part of the Demetra 2.0 package, and in the process of isolating cycles, the Hodrick-Prescott filter was accepted.
Types of Wounds and the Prevalence of Bacterial Contamination of Wounds in the Clinical Practice of Small Animals
Authors: Kožár M. , Hamilton H. , Koščová J. 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Skin wounds are a common presentation in small animal practice. The successful management of wound healing in dogs and cats requires knowledge of the physiology of the wound healing process and the application of an appropriate therapeutic intervention. Many wounds are colonised by bacteria or show signs of clinical infection. Infections can delay wound healing, impair cosmetic outcome and increase healthcare costs. Because of a lack of papers giving an overall prevalence of bacteria in different types of wounds, 45 samples were taken from patients treated at the Small Animals Clinic, Section of Surgery, Orthopaedics, Roentgenology and Reproduction of the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice during the years 2017 — 2018 to determine the types of wounds and the prevalence of bacterial contamination of the wounds. Samples were obtained by using cotton-tipped swabs and then cultivated on Sabouraud’s plates in the Institute of Microbiology and Gnotobiology of the University. All 45 animals used in this research were first subjected to an anatomical and clinical exam to determine the patient’s health condition and the status of the wounds. Of these 45 samples, 9 were negative. Of the remaining 36 samples, 12 were cultivated and tested to give only the genera of the bacteria present, whilst 24 were tested more extensively for a specific diagnosis of the species. The most common wound was due to a bite from another animal; these made up 12 out of the 45 cases (26.67 %). There were 10 cases of dehiscence of old wounds (22.22 %), whereas there were only 2 cases of surgical wound complications (4.44 %). There were 5 puncture wounds or fistulas (11.11 %), 4 lacerations (8.88 %), 1 degloving injury (2.22 %), 1 seroma (2.22 %), 1 foreign body (2.22 %), 1 crushing injury (2.22 %), 1 case of contusion and necrosis (2.22 %), 1 cases of dermatitis with resulting pruritic lesions (2.22 %), and 1 cutting injury from a tight wire collar (2.22 %). Five cases (11.11 %) were wounds of unknown aetiology. The most commonly found bacteria was Staphylococcus intermedius, which was found in 14 out of the 45 wounds (31.11 %). From this study it appears that the first consideration for treatment of infected wounds should be a treatment plan which will have a high efficacy against Staphylococcus spp. However, despite the high prevalence of Staphylococcus spp., our results revealed that they are not present all of the time.
Transboundary spatial planning axes: Discontinuities and suggestions for harmonisation in the Elbe/Labe Euroregion
Authors: Bartel Sebastian , Albrecht Juliane , Hruška Vladan , Rybová Kristyna , Ortner Andreas 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Spatial planning axes are an important instrument of spatial planning to help connect urban areas and ensure the accessibility of rural areas and their development. The planning of such axes can steer population and traffic flows, decisions on the locations of economic developments as well as infrastructures such as cable networks. In this paper, current spatial planning axes and their continuity are analysed regarding their suitability to promote sustainable cross-border European development. Two neighbouring regions are investigated as examples, namely the Regional Planning Authority Oberes Elbtal/Osterzgebirge (Germany, Saxony) and the Ústí nad Labem Region (Czechia). The overarching research question is how transboundary spatial planning axes can be harmonised? This can be broken down into the following three sub-questions: (1) Which differences exist between the Saxon and Czech planning systems? (2) How is the need for harmonisation assessed by planning practitioners? (3) Which transboundary recommendations can be given from a scientific perspective? To answer these research questions, expert interviews were conducted with relevant stakeholders from spatial planning authorities as well as scientific and political institutions.

Abstract

Background. Colonoscopy is a common performed procedure in Gastroenterology, and it’s widely used for diagnosis, treatment and surveillance of a wide range of conditions and symptoms. Properly performed, it’s generally safe, more accurate than a virtual colonoscopy and well-tolerated by patients. The completion of a colonoscopy is defined by cecal intubation with the visualization of colonic mucosa and distal terminal ileum when it’s possible.

Patients and methods. We reviewed retrospectively all consecutive endoscopies database of the lower digestive tract, done over a period from 2014-2017 in our clinic. The recommended completion based on the latest guidelines ranges from 90-95% completion rate according to the indication.

Results. 11214 consecutive colonoscopies were done. Overall cecal intubation was successful in 9456 procedures (87.3%). If we exclude the interventional procedures (414 procedures), where cecal intubation was not necessary, the main reasons of non-intubation were due to intolerance of the patients (388 patients), followed on the second place by patients with obstructive cancer (299 patients). The presence of diverticulosis, poor preparation for colonoscopy and post-surgical adhesions were significant findings in non-successful procedures.

Conclusions. In normal daily practice, colonoscopy is completed in 88.01% of the procedures but we think that this result will stimulate the efforts to incorporate more quality measures and time in our endoscopy laboratory.
