Women and Body Image: A Sociological Study of Women in India
Authors: Zimik Chingri 
Published: August 2019

The narrative of the body holds an important place in the studies on gender and its relation to society. Body image arises with one having a physical body and an awareness of how it is viewed by others or oneself. Studies conducted by various academic researchers, fashion trend analyst and others found that both women and men all over the world seem to be in favour one ideal body type, that is, a slim, tall and perfectly proportionate body. This paper attempts to analyse the notion of beauty and body image ideals among Indian women and present any similarities or differences it may have with the rest of the world. Women are influenced by what they see every day on the TV, Internet and foreign print magazines. The influence is visible by the change in health consciousness and body weight among women who make efforts to change how they look. The huge boom in the beauty industry and slimming clubs are testimony of this change. However, the changes among Indian women are varied and differ from place to place or economic status of the person.

The interpreneur is basically one of the keys of an economic indefendent. Everyone has dream to be successful in this case. So that, in earlier Islam had paid intention and regulated for managing an economic inprovement. In this artcile aimed at presenting the Muhammadâ€™s consept of enterpreneur. He undoubtedly becomes a refrence of many live problems, but just very few Muslim Scholarsâ€™ article which elaborates his success as an interpeneurer. It is extremely different with Western scholars that concern to examine Muhammadâ€™s success in trade. By historcial approach, the writer concludes that the key of Muhammadâ€™s success in improving his interpeneur really has a high relation of his a good attitude, aspecially honestly (al-amanah), clever (al-fatanah), (al-tabligh) and (al-siddiqh). Prophet Muhammadâ€™s manegement based on these attiudes becomes known as the most succesfull an interpeneruer in the world

Published: August 2019

Purpose
Currently, information on the mid-term outcome of cryoballoon ablation (CB-A) for drug-resistant atrial fibrillation in patients with reduced left ventricular systolic function is limited.

Methods
Thirty-eight consecutive patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (84.2% male), with median left ventricular ejection fraction of 37.3% were included in our study. All patients underwent the procedure with the 28-mm cryoballoon advance.

Results
There were no mayor complications related to the CB-A procedure. Median follow-up was 26.5 ± 13.7 months. The freedom from atrial fibrillation after a blanking period of 3 months was 42.9% in our cohort of patients. During the follow-up period, 13 patients underwent at least a new electrophysiological procedure. After a single procedure, the univariate predictors of clinical recurrence after the blanking period were age and persistent atrial fibrillation.

Conclusion
Second-generation CB-A of atrial fibrillation seems feasible and safe in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction, in terms of complications rate and number of applications per vein. All pulmonary veins could be isolated with the 28-mm cryoballoon advance only.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
This paper demonstrates kinematic analysis of multiple trailers on a tractor system for production logistics. The analysis concerned three different steering systems of the trailers: virtual clutch and drawbar system, conventional clutch and drawbar system, double Ackermann steering system. Designed kinematic models contain various variants of paths: turning at a constant value of the steering angle, changing the steering angle as a result of an approaching collision. Each of these variants also included driving in a straight line after a 90° turn. The validation of the developed kinematic model was done by using a real logistic train, which path was registered via aerial drone. For each of the developed kinematic models, a visualization of drive through the 90° turn was created.
A search for 4 specific markers linked to Pm3 alleles for resistance to powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis) in rye (Secale cereale)
Authors: Jurkowski Andrzej , Bujak Henryk 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
To investigate powdery mildew resistance in rye (Secale cereale), 397 inbred lines of winter rye were tested for susceptibility to infection with Blumeria graminis f. sp. secalis. The 50 most tolerant lines and 50 most infected lines were chosen for comparison. They were next tested for the presence of 4 markers linked to 4 alleles for resistance to powdery mildew, identified earlier in common wheat (Triticum aestivum). We found Pm3a only in 3 susceptible genotypes of winter rye, although this marker is linked to the powdery mildew resistance gene in wheat. The other 3 markers linked to Blumeria graminis f. sp. secalis resistance genes (Pm3b, Pm3c, Pm3d) were found in neither resistant nor susceptible rye genotypes.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Aiming to strengthen cooperation between scientific entities and enterprises and to overcome related obstacles, the authors propose to create a mechanism of incentives called BIZ-TRIZ, which is an abbreviation for “TRIZ for Business”. This mechanism is used to support cooperation between scientific entities and companies. Close cooperation is achieved by implementing R&D&I services, which is the responsibility of the scientific unit operating for the benefit of the companies involved. Research services are used together with the scientific instrument that reflects achievements in the modern theory of innovative problem solving (TRIZ). The analysis was made using the Maritime University of Szczecin and SME-type companies as an example. This paper describes the basic assumptions concerning the implementation of the BIZ-TRIZ mechanism. Also, it presents the use of SWOT analysis, needs/stakeholder analysis and risk analysis for the implementation of the BIZ-TRIZ mechanism. The paper describes preventative actions for the most important implementation risks and discusses the results of the analyses. Finally, it introduces the main conclusions regarding the purpose of implementing the BIZ-TRIZ mechanism.
Gerontechnology — the assessment of one selected technology improving the quality of life of older adults
Authors: Halicka Katarzyna 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Older adults experience difficulties in their daily lives as their health deteriorates. Gerontechnology (the compilation of terms “gerontology” and “technology”) helps in the resolution of problems faced by older adults by improving their quality of life and, above all, developing tools to facilitate the access of older adults to all goods, services and infrastructure, which is also the understanding of the term used in this paper. The article mainly aimed to assess the selected gerontechnology that improved the quality of life of older adults in terms of different criteria, namely, innovation, demand, socioethics, usability, and functionality. It also analysed whether the respondent's age and gender had any influence on the assessment. Care robots were chosen from among the variety of gerontechnologies. The survey was conducted in the first quarter of 2018 and involved 643 people from different voivodships of Poland. Two types of questionnaires were designed. The electronic form of the survey was distributed using social media and snowball techniques, and the paper form was sent by traditional post to all nursing homes in Poland.
Performance of an automated process model discovery – the logistics process of a manufacturing company
Authors: Halaška Michal , Šperka Roman 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
The simulation and modelling paradigms have significantly shifted in recent years under the influence of the Industry 4.0 concept. There is a requirement for a much higher level of detail and a lower level of abstraction within the simulation of a modelled system that continuously develops. Consequently, higher demands are placed on the construction of automated process models. Such a possibility is provided by automated process discovery techniques. Thus, the paper aims to investigate the performance of automated process discovery techniques within the controlled environment. The presented paper aims to benchmark the automated discovery techniques regarding realistic simulation models within the controlled environment and, more specifically, the logistics process of a manufacturing company. The study is based on a hybrid simulation of logistics in a manufacturing company that implemented the AnyLogic framework. The hybrid simulation is modelled using the BPMN notation using BIMP, the business process modelling software, to acquire data in the form of event logs. Next, five chosen automated process discovery techniques are applied to the event logs, and the results are evaluated. Based on the evaluation of benchmark results received using the chosen discovery algorithms, it is evident that the discovery algorithms have a better overall performance using more extensive event logs both in terms of fitness and precision. Nevertheless, the discovery techniques perform better in the case of smaller data sets, with less complex process models. Typically, automated discovery techniques have to address scalability issues due to the high amount of data present in the logs. However, as demonstrated, the process discovery techniques can also encounter issues of opposite nature. While discovery techniques typically have to address scalability issues due to large datasets, in the case of companies with long delivery cycles, long processing times and parallel production, which is common for the industrial sector, they have to address issues with incompleteness and lack of information in datasets. The management of business companies is becoming essential for companies to stay competitive through efficiency. The issues encountered within the simulation model will be amplified through both vertical and horizontal integration of the supply chain within the Industry 4.0. The impact of vertical integration in the BPMN model and the chosen case identifier is demonstrated. Without the assumption of smart manufacturing, it would be impossible to use a single case identifier throughout the entire simulation. The entire process would have to be divided into several subprocesses.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
The increasing pressure of globalisation on the worldwide market has forced enterprises to shift their focus from product quality to effectiveness of internal business processes. The object of interest of this paper is a modern management approach based on corporate performance evaluation by measuring the performance of internal processes. The paper aims to prove that the use of modern indicators and the measurement of internal processes belong among factors that have a direct positive impact on corporate performance. To reach the aim, empirical primary research was carried out. The paper focused on research results regarding the use of modern indicators for the measurement of business processes in Slovak industrial enterprises from selected branches. The primary quantitative research was conducted using questionnaires. The research aimed to test the hypothesis stating that enterprises using modern indicators to measure process performance have been reaching more positive ROE values, representing a basic indicator of corporate performance. Dependences among the data selected from the empirical research were analysed using statistical methods, namely, the chi-squared test, T-test and the correlation analysis. Based on the statistically processed data, the authors concluded that business processes are a basic source for the evaluation of corporate performance. Higher ROE values can be reached using modern process indicators, especially in mass production enterprises. The paper contributed to the further development of knowledge in performance management, specifically, process-oriented management.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
This study examines the micro enterprises of industrial sectors that receive Kredit Usaha Rakyat (People’s Business Credit/KUR) or Commercial Credit (KK) in seven cities in East Java. Firstly, this study aims to measure the technical efficiency of micro enterprises in the industrial sector in East Java that accept KUR and KK using the Data Envelopment Analysis method; secondly, to examine the factors that influence the technical efficiency of micro enterprises, which receive KUR and KK with Tobit Regression. Unlike others’ researches, this paper attempts to determine the influence of technical efficiency and other factors on the poverty status of micro entrepreneurs using logistic regression. The average technical efficiencies of KUR and KK recipient micro businesses using the assumptions of the DEA VRS model are 0.94 and 0.77. While the average technical efficiencies of KUR and KK recipient micro businesses using the assumptions of the DEA CRS model are 0.88 and 0.71. The factors that influence the technical efficiency of micro enterprises recipients of KUR and KK are profit, experience, geographical location, amount of credit, KUR access, the credit realization period, and dummy variable of food and beverage products. The factors that influence the poverty status of micro-entrepreneurs are technical efficiency, income, KUR access, gender, number of household member, and geographical location. The results of this research can be a material consideration for the government in formulating policies.

Interactive Learning Environment Supporting Visualization in the Teaching of Probability
Authors: Lukáč Stanislav , Gavala Tadeáš 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThe probability is exceptional in the teaching of mathematics because students often have difficulties to understand the basic terms and the problem solving strategies. Understanding lacks of the probability concept and various types of misconceptions arise from the misleading intuition and misinterpretations of experience with the stochastic phenomena. The probability concept seems too abstract to some students therefore it is advisable to use mathematical problems based on real-life ideas, such as drug efficacy testing, tests for diagnosing of diseases in medicine, sports competitions, and games. By eliminating misconceptions and improving understanding of the problem solving strategies, it is possible to use various types of visualization to solve problems from this field of mathematics. Tables and different types of graphic diagrams can help students to understand the basic rules and problem solving techniques. This paper describes the main objectives and the structure of an interactive worksheet, prepared in spreadsheet environment, in which students are guided to use the visualization to solve probability problems. The implementation of an automatic feedback enables to evaluate the students’ answers. In the case of incorrect answer, solutions of the additional tasks using tree diagram or a tangram are recommended to the students. Students can decide which type of the visualization is more understandable for them to solve the probability of random events. Solving different task sequences using the selected types of visualization allows more learning paths for students. The final part of the paper contains an evaluation of the results and experiences of problem solving in the teaching of probability at grammar schools.
The Relationship between Anxiety and Immunity in Pediatric Oncology Patients

Published: August 2019

Abstract

Background: Pediatric onco-hematology is not a frequently encountered medical specialty, and it influences everyday life, basic activities, and the immune system, mostly through psychosocial changes, which may affect every individual and their families differently. Anxiety is the most frequently encountered mental health disorder occurring during childhood and adolescence. The effect of stress and anxiety on the immune system is suggested by the fact that stress hormones elevate proinflammatory cytokines and subsequently lower the anti-inflammatory response.

Objective: Our main objective was to analyze the relationship between anxiety disturbance and cytokine levels in oncologic pediatric patients from Târgu Mureș in order to answer the following question: does anxiety influence immunity?

Material and methods: After testing pediatric oncology patients from the Pediatrics Clinic no. 2 of Târgu Mureș, Romania with the SCARED child test, we took blood samples from each participant. IL-6, IL-10, IL-1β, IL-12p40 and TNF-α levels were evaluated with a Human Cytokine Magnetic Panel using the xMAP technique on Flexmap 3D platform (Luminex Corporation, Austin, USA). C-reactive protein levels were determined with the BN Pro Spec nephelometer with CardioPhase hsCRP (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, GmbH, Marburg, Germany) reagent.

Results: The 46 pediatric oncology patients had 6 main diagnostic groups, the most frequent pathology was acute leukemia (58.7%) followed by malignant solid tumors (21.74%) and lymphomas (6.52%). In the anxious group (45.65%) we observed 4 of the 5 studied anxiety types: panic disorder, separation, social, and generalized anxiety. We measured the cytokine levels of all the participants from the two main groups: anxious/non-anxious. Statistical analysis (linear regression) showed statistically significant positive correlations in the anxious group related to the IL-1β and IL-6, a moderate/weak correlation related to IL-12p40, as well as a negative moderate correlation between IL-10 values in the anxious group and a positive trend in the non-anxious group.

Conclusions: Psycho-oncology is a relatively young specialty with few studies in the last two decades. IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α present high levels in anxious patients, while IL-10 and IL-12p40 have low serum levels in mental disorders. C-reactive protein levels are not influenced by anxiety.
