Published: May 2018

Abstract
Under the conditions of ever-increasing competition in the market, companies can reach a competitive advantage only with flexible offer of quality superior and cheaper products/services. In order to achieve this, companies must carry out innovative and effective business processes and manage them appropriately. In this regard, it is important to identify the factors that may be considered critical for improving business process management. The aim of this paper is to identify and analyse key business process management factors, on the example of the electronic industry. The research results show that the factors that are usually accepted as the most important for increasing the maturity of business process management are not recognised as dominant in the electronic industry. One of the findings of the survey reveals, as the main lagging factors, four of the six most important factors for the successful implementation of business processes. Based on results of the research, Managing employees has been detected as the most important maturity factor for companies from the electronic industry; hence, the suggestion is further improvement within this field.

Abstract
Coumarin anticoagulants era (warfarin, acenocumarol) seems to be coming to an end with the launch of the novel anticoagulants like dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban and edoxaban. Dabigatran (Pradaxa) is a prothrombin (factor II) inhibitor that doesn't necessitate monitoring by coagulation tests, doesn't have food or drug interactions, except for P-gp inhibitors. Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) is a direct inhibitor of factor X and is approved for the prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and for the prevention of deep venous thrombosis in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery (hip and knee prosthesis). Apixaban (Eliquis) is a direct inhibitor of factor X and is indicated for the prevention of venous thromboembolic events in patients undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty, the prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation and treatment or prevention of recurrences in patients with deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Edoxaban (Savaysa), recently approved is USA, is a direct inhibitor of factor X and is indicated for deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism and for the prevention of thromboembolic events in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation. The most recent studies focus on antidotes specifically designed to bind and neutralise the anticoagulant activity of both direct thrombin inhibitors and direct factor Xa inhibitors. The drugs currently being studied are idarucizumab, a specific antidote, andexanet alfa, a class-specific antidote and ciraparantag, a universal antidote. Of these, only idarucizumab was approved by the FDA.

Abstract
Erdheim-Chester syndrome, a non-Langerhans histiocytosis, is a very rare disease, in the present approximately 500 cases being reported in literature. It is characterized by the histiocytic infiltration of various organs and systems, therefore clinical signs and symptoms are miscellaneous. Despite that, there are a few patognomonic elements that help recognizing the disease: symmetrical involvement in the long bones of the lower limbs, bilateral perirenal infiltration (“hairy kidneys”) and circumferential aortic infiltration (“coated aorta”). However, in order to confirm the diagnosis, biopsy is required, histopathologic examination revealing “foamy” histiocytes. Currently, interferon alpha serves as the first line of treatment, most literature data showing that it might improve survival rate in patients diagnosed with Erdheim-Chester syndrome.
The Controversies of Modern Macroeconomic Theory in the Context of the Global Economic Crisis

Published: May 2018

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to analyze controversies of modern macroeconomic theories in the period of the global economic crisis. Ideas, disagreement and similarities between the most important theories in relation to state intervention and anti-crisis economic policy are presented. The topical research has found a connection between the roots of the global economic crisis and the paradigm of new liberal theories. The crisis has confirmed that the idea of self-regulation in the private sector is untenable in practice. In times of crisis, the leading theoretical framework in economic policy is reexamined. Rules-based monetary and fiscal policies are replaced by discretionary decision-making. In the world economies affected by the crisis, anti-Keynesian cyclical measures of monetary and fiscal policies were implemented. A comprehensive and unequivocal reaffirmation of Keynesianism in anti-crisis policies has confirmed the assumption of the circularity of economic theories. Central banks quickly reduced their key interest rates and increased their money supply. Fiscal authorities implemented expansive stimulus programs. When creating a new macroeconomic paradigm, market imperfection must be taken into account as well as a limited range of government economic policies.
Real Convergence of Western Balkan Countries to European Union in view of Macroeconomic Policy Mix
Authors: Krstevska Aneta 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Western Balkan (WB) countries have a clear orientation towards the European Union (EU), all of them currently being candidate or potential candidate countries. Moreover, the EU is an important trading partner of the WB economies, therefore, there is a recognizable need for convergence of this region towards the EU economy. The real convergence is a rather slow process and the WB region is still lagging behind the EU. This paper explores the catch up of the WB region during the global crisis that severely hit the EU economy, trying to identify potential changes in the convergence pace. In addition, this work makes a joint overview of the nominal and real convergence processes as well as the convergence of the general macroeconomic indicators of the WB countries to the EU, taking them as complementary and mutually self-supporting processes.
Communal roosting and the seasonal dynamics of the hen harrier Circus cyaneus in the Záhorie region
Authors: Noga Michal 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
A count of hen harriers Circus cyaneus was carried out at roost sites in south-western Slovakia from 1 992-2013. The number of sites and also the frequency of survey visits were different in different years. A total of 1 03 counts were carried out. Hen harriers were not seen roosting at the sites in 13 cases. In all, 10 localities with 14 roost sites were checked. Hen harriers roosted in sedge (5) or in ruderal associations (6) and meadows (3). A total of 634 individuals were recorded roosting. There were 483 brown birds (adult females and immature birds in the first calendar year) and 151 grey birds (males in the second calendar year and older). The average number of hen harriers at the roost sites ranged from 3 to 9 individual birds. The maximum number was at least 27 individuals (December 15, 2011 ; a minimum of 18 brown birds and 9 grey birds, Moravský Svätý Ján, Pacitov locality). The percentage of roosting males was 23.76%. The time period of roosting was also recorded. The last individuals were observed flying over the site from six minutes before sunset to 40 minutes after sunset. The average time of the last observation was approximately 1 7 minutes after sunset. The average luminosity at the last observation of an active individual bird was 28 lux. Hen harriers migrate from October to March in the study area. Occurrences in September, respectively in April and May, were very rare. Most registration and the highest number of individual birds were recorded in October, but especially in December and February.

Radiasi merupakan pancaran energi melalui suatu materi atau ruang dalam bentuk energi, panas, partikel atau gelombang yang dapat diserap oleh bahan lain. Beberapa radiasi dapat mengionisasi bahan yang dilaluinya salah satunya radiasi neutron karena memiliki daya tembus yang tinggi sehingga sangat diperlukan perisai radiasi. Adapun kriteria dari perisai radiasi neutron harus memiliki kandungan hidrogen yang tinggi, memiliki nilai tampang lintang yang baik dan tidak bersifat korosi. Bahan UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethyene) memiliki kandungan hidrogen yang tinggi dan tidak mudah korosi dan bahan Gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) sangat baik menyerap neutron karena mempunyai tampang lintang serapan neutron yang tinggi. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka dibuat komposit UHMWPE-Gd2O3 dengan tujuan dapat meningkatkan nilai serapan neutron sehingga dalam aplikasinya bisa lebih efektif untuk memperlambat bahkan menahan radiasi neutron. Telah dilakukan karakterisasi bahan perisai radiasi neutron yang dibuat sendiri dengan teknik radiografi neutron. Bahan perisai radiasi dibuat dengan bahan utama UHMWPE dan penambahan filler Gadolinium Oxide (Gd2O3) dengan kompoisisi 70% : 30% massa menggunakan metode blending dan kompaksi. Bahan dibuat dengan ketebalan yang bervariasi dari 0,5 cm hingga 2 cm. Hasil karakterisasi XRD menunjukkan tidak terbentuk senyawa kimia antara kedua bahan dan karakterisasi menggunakan SEM terlihat hasil distribusi unsur yang terkandung dalam filler Gd2O3 merata pada bahan dasar polimer. Pengujian serapan neutron menggunakan teknik radiografi neutron dengan metode film. Dengan penambahan variasi ketebalan meningkatkan daya serap bahan dari 58,78% menjadi 67,89% dan nilai koefisien atenuasi diperoleh sebesar 1,025.Kata kunci: perisai radiasi, UHMWPE,Gd2O3, radiografi neutron, daya serap dan koefisien atenuasi.
Modular prosthesis of the larynx: Visions and feasibility
Authors: Nazaradeh Fridun , Eckermann Claus , Kelterer Wiebke , Steltenkamp Siegfried , Dupré Marc 
Published: May 2018

Purpose: A total laryngectomy, usually performed after the diagnosis of a laryngeal carcinoma of the stages T3 or T4 in cases where a radiation therapy is not indicated, still leads to radical restrictions of the patient. The postoperative consequences include the loss of the voice, the loss of the regular air ways via mouth and nose, thus also leading to the loss of the sense of smell, and the inability to build up an abdominal pressure. The feasibility of a larynx prosthesis which enables the laryngectomee to talk with his or her usual voice, to breathe via the regular air ways, and to build up abdominal pressure is discussed here.Materials and methods: The autonomous prosthesis consists of a device to reproduce the natural human voice, a device to reproduce the natural air ways including an artificial epiglottis to avoid choking, and a system of valves to build up an abdominal pressure e.g. to cough. The prosthesis consists of two modules: a stationary module and an exchangeable module. This is necessary to avoid a destruction of the electronics during possible radiation therapies and to easily replace components in case of a breakdown.Conclusions: Regarding the present possibilities of rehabilitation the modular prosthesis of the larynx for use in patients after laryngectomy means a medical and ethical benefit for the postoperative course in rehabilitation of laryngectomees.
Critical Thinking and experiences of women who have suffered female genital mutilation: A case study
Authors: Siles-González José , Reig-Alcaraz María , Noreña-Peña Ana L. , Solano-Ruiz Carmen 
Published: May 2018

Given the need for women who have suffered Female Genital Mutilation, reflect on the true nature of this practice and become aware of the underlying reality of it, it is based on the objective of identifying the factors that affect FGM and its&nbsp;impact through the experiences of women who have suffered it.&nbsp;The paradigm of departure is the hermeneutic and the sociocritical, The principles of cultural heritage and phenomenology, constitute the theoretical basis of the study that will adopt a gender approach using the perspectives provided by Bordieu (habitus) and Durkheim (logical conformism).Methodologically, the in-depth interview was used as a data collection technique and for its analysis the Dialectical Structural Model of Care. The sample consists of a single case that will serve as a basis for expanding it in subsequent studies. Results: the patriarchally regulated culture is the breeding ground of this "tradition" that has a very marked socializing component in diverse cultures and religions. The option of refusing to experience this practice leads to the absolute marginalization of the "rebellious" woman and also of the family. The habitus and the logical conformism facilitate the maintenance of female genital mutilation as a rite of passage with an institutional character that is subjectively and socially accepted by the communities that practice it.Conclusions: the essential tool to combat female genital mutilation is critical thinking in the context of transculturality that favors the opening of the feminine world to plural ways of thinking and behavior. It is the women themselves who have experienced this practice who have the potential pedagogic to fight against its eradication.

Authors: Sotar Sotar , Mardianto Dani 
Published: May 2018

Qurban merupakan salah satu ibadah yang dilaksanakan setiap tahun di bulan Dzulhijjah, tujuannya mendekatkan diri kepada sang khaliq. Salah satu fungsi dari ibadah Qurban adalah sebagai bentuk kepedulian kepada kaum dhuafa’ atau fakir miskin artinya bahwa orang yang mampu berqurban dapat berbagi pada orang yang tidak mampu. Di Kota Padang masih banyak daerah pinggiran yang layak menerima daging Qurban, sementara di daerah perkotaan banyak sembelihan hewan Qurban dan banyak kuota daging yang berlebih, akan tetapi mereka hanya mendistribusikannya di daerah perkotaan yang ekonominya relatif bagus dan Panti asuhan tertentu, hal ini mengakibatkan daging Qurban menumpuk di lokasi tertentu saja. Salah satu penyebabnya Panitia kesulitan mendapatkan informasi yang jelas tentang lokasi atau daerah yang benar-benar layak menerima daging Qurban. Sistem informasi geografis yang dibangun dapat memberikan solusi dan informasi pada Panitia Qurban atau Pengurus Masjid dan lembaga Penyalur daging Qurban lainnya terhadap kurangnya informasi tentang daerah, tempat, rute perjalan, jarak tempuh, jumlah warga, jumlah hewan Qurban di masing-masing Masjid di kota Padang serta daerah yang terkategori layak menerima daging Qurban. Dengan demikian pendistribusian daging Qurban tersalurkan secara merata, tepat sasaran serta fungsi dari ibadah Qurban tercapai.
Effects of scale on hunter moose Alces alces observation rate
Authors: Sylvén Susanne 
Published: May 2018

Effects of sampling/observation area size on correlations between hunter moose Alces alces observation rates and moose density estimates have been evaluated. Each correlation between observation rates and moose density estimates was examined to discover extreme values strongly influencing correlations due to small sample sizes. The results of my study suggested that hunter observation rates were affected by sampling area size. Correlations between observation rates and moose densities indicate that there is a positive asymptotic relationship between hunter observation rate accuracy and sampling area, i.e. as the sampling area increases, so does the accuracy of the hunter observation rate. It was concluded that the accuracy of density estimates could be improved by using hunter observation rates obtained in sampling areas larger than 500 km2. The concordance between moose counts and densities at this sampling area size was intermediate (rs = 0.5–0.7). It is suggested that estimates of smaller management units may be improved when using year‐to‐year surveys at sampling within homogeneous management units. However, the confidence intervals are generally wide, and moose regulation authorities using hunter observation rates as a moose density estimator will have to accept estimates with a relatively low precision.
Grouse science as a process: where do we stand?
Authors: Storch Ilse 
Published: May 2018

The paper sketches the state of grouse science as reflected by the 8th International Grouse Symposium held at Rovaniemi, Finland, in September 1999, by contrasting the representation of species, topics and trends in the literature and at the Symposium. The analysis was based on 5,349 grouse papers published between 1930 and 1998 and 75 abstracts submitted for the Symposium. In the past, grouse research has focused on the species with the greatest economic and cultural importance. During the 1990s, population dynamics, habitat and behaviour have become the major research topics. At the Symposium, a number of trends became apparent: increasing importance of genetic and landscape ecological studies, integration of disciplines, approaches and explanations, as well as increasing cooperation. However, a significant gap seems to exist in the documentation and communication of experience in grouse conservation and management.
Weight‐related renesting in capercaillie Tetrao urogallus
Authors: Storaas Torstein , Wegge Per , Kastdalen Leif 
Published: May 2018

In a population study during 1979–1988 at Varaldskogen in southeastern Norway, 234 capercaillie Tetrao urogallus nests and broods were classified as first nests or renests. Of the females that had their first nest depredated, 9–87% (mean 36%) renested. Over a 6‐year period, autumn brood production increased from 30 to 38% due to renesting. Renesting is physically demanding for the females; the eggs in renests are fewer and smaller, and the females take more and longer recesses than when incubating first nests. All the females incubated their first nests till the eggs hatched or the nest was depredated. Two of the renesting females took more and longer recesses until they gave up their nests. The ability to renest seems to be weight‐related, as yearling females, which weigh less than adult females, did not renest, and the weight of adult females on leks was highest in the two years when most renesting occurred. The female will renest if the nest is depredated during the first three days of incubation. Each of the following 19 days, all years combined, a mean of 26% of females who lost their nests renested. Capercaillie renesting was related to the vole cycle; it was highest in the year before the small rodents peaked and decreased through the vole crash and the year after.
Some effects of the doping with alpha - Al_2O_3 nanoparticles in the transport properties of Bi_1.65 Pb_0.35 Sr_2Ca_2 Cu_3O_y ceramic superconductors
Authors: Hernández Wolpez Manuel Alfredo 
Published: May 2018

We present a preliminary study on the effects of alpha - Al_2O_3 nanoparticles (NPs) in the transport properties of Bi_1.65 Pb_0.35 Sr_2Ca_2 Cu_3O_y ((Bi,Pb)-2223) ceramic samples. The (Bi,Pb)-2223 samples were synthesized by the solid state reaction method and alpha - Al_2O_3 NPs, with concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 0.8 wt. percent (% wt.), were added before the last heat treatment. All samples were characterized by means of X-rays diraction patterns, and temperature and magnetic eld dependence of the electrical resistivity, rho(T;Ba). From the experimental (T;Ba) data we extracted the critical temperature dependence of the % wt. of alpha - Al_2O_3 NPs, and by using the Arrheniusplot the eective pinning energy has been also determined. The results indicate that mostly of the transport properties are optimized for the sample B03.

The severe mourning period after Shiva – the week following the death of a loved one – is Sh'loshim – thirty days. What shall we do thirty years after the death of one of the greatest Jewish poets of our century? He entered death freely, walking into the Seine and letting the dark waters carry him into the time beyond time; yet he remains one of the great gifts of the past century for us who are aware of the inheritance which is passed on to us by the poets and prophets of our people.
