The Market Orientation and Performance Relationship: An Empirical Study in Private Universities
Authors: Sefnedi Sefnedi 
Published: June 2017

<p>This study examines the empirical link between three dimensions of market orientation, namely, student orientation, competitor orientation and inter-functional coordination, and private university performance in Kopertis X. The study was based on an empirical investigation of private universities located in Indonesia’s provinces of West Sumatera, Riau, Jambi, and Riau Islands. The primary data for the study were collected from a self-administered mail survey of 237 questionnaires from the private university resulting in a sample of 114 usable responses being returned. From the application of the multiple regression analysis it was concluded that all three dimensions of market orientation had a significant impact on private university performance. Student orientation as a predictor variable is the strongest predictor of private university performance then followed by competitor orientation, and inter-functional coordination.</p><p><br /><strong><em>Bahasa Indonesia Abstrak: </em></strong><em>Penelitian ini menguji hubungan empiris antara tiga dimensi orientasi pasar, yaitu, orientasi </em><em>mahasiswa</em><em>, orientasi pesaing dan koordinasi antar-fungsional dan kinerja perguruan tinggi swasta di Kopertis X.</em><em> </em><em>Penelitian ini didasarkan pada penyelidikan empiris </em><em>pada </em><em>universitas swasta yang </em><em>berada</em><em> di provinsi Sumatera Barat, Riau, Jambi, dan </em><em>Kepulaian Riau</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Data primer dikumpulkan dari survei </em><em>dimana </em><em>dari 237 kuesioner </em><em>yang disebarkan pada </em><em>universitas swasta</em><em>, diperoleh </em><em>114</em><em> kuesioner yang dikembalikan dan dapat digunakan sebagai sampel</em><em>.</em><em> Berdasarkan hasil </em><em>analisis regresi berganda dapat disimpulkan bahwa ketiga dimensi orientasi pasar memiliki dampak yang signifikan terhadap kinerja perguruan tinggi swasta.</em><em> </em><em>Orientasi mahasiswa sebagai variabel prediktor terkuat terhadap kinerja perguruan tinggi swasta kemudian diikuti oleh orientasi pesaing, dan koordinasi antar-fungsional.</em></p>
A Short Note for Dr. Omote’s Review in 1973
Authors: Katayama Tsuneo ,   Professor, Tokyo Denki University
Published: June 2017

In the preceding article, I have reviewed from my very personal point of view the changes in earthquake disaster mitigation and earthquake engineering issues which took place mainly in the last quarter of the 20 th century in Japan, with a strong emphasis on the influences of the 1995 Kobe earthquake.
Having read the review by Dr. Omote published in 1973, I was impressed by his comprehensive understanding of the issue which appears fresh even today. He covers from topics on seismology to earthquake design methods which were available and most advanced at that time. His understanding on the general principles of earthquake resistant design was very sound when he wrote, “The ultimate purpose of antiseismic design and construction of structures is to protect human lives. But, such structures may become too expensive from the practical point of view.” He stresses then, “Firstly, try to protect human lives from earthquake destruction, secondly, construct structures strong enough not to be damaged by destructive earthquakes, and thirdly, never let structures severely collapse even though some damage may be allowed for extremely strong motions.” If these principles had been observed by engineers concerned, we would not have experienced such a disaster in Kobe in 1995.

Sediment induced disasters have been studied in a wide variety of research fields ranging from social to natural science, with many interesting results. This special issue provides engineers and scientists with an opportunity to share knowledge and experience in engineering research concerning mass sediment movement and related disasters. To clarify this issue’s objectives and encourage submissions, topics have been discussed based on the needs, activities, and possible contributors classified into four categories:
1) Results based on field and literature surveys and data analysis for catastrophic, recent and historical mass
~~movement, and corresponding disaster events.
2) Results based on field surveys and data analysis for recent usual mass movement events and corresponding
~~disasters resulting from rainfall, earthquakes, volcanic activity, and glacier lakes and natural landslide dam events.
3) Mechanics and numerical modeling for mass movement.
4) Measures against sediment-induced and similar disasters.
Last August, we began inviting submissions on these themes just as Typhoon Morakot slowly crossed Taiwan, causing historically significant rainfall events in southern Taiwan involving numerous landslides and debris flows and precipitated casualties, landscape changes, channel bed variations, etc., similar to the catastrophic sediment events occurring in Venezuela in 1999. Two papers describe what happened in Taiwan and Venezuela, providing advice on possible measures against such abnormal catastrophes. Three contributions describe historical catastrophes involving mountain collapse based on analysis of the literature, topography and field surveys, and numerical models. A total of 11 papers have been submitted, 4 of which concern applicability of constitutive equations for debris flow, numerical models for landslide occurrence due to rain fall and flood processes due to rapid landslide dam erosion, and sediment issues resulting from glacier lake outburst flooding. Two submissions focus on corrective measures.
All papers have been reviewed, revised, and accepted for publications, and we believe this special issue will stimulate future studies and prove useful in practical and scientific fields. We heartily thank all of the authors undergoing the review process, and express our sincere appreciation to the distinguished reviewers, without whose invaluable aid this issue would not have been possible.
Introduction to Professor Usami's Review in 1974
Authors: Koketsu Kazuki ,   Professor, University of Tokyo
Published: June 2017

Tatsuo Usami, now professor emeritus at the University of Tokyo, published a paper entitled “Earthquake Studies and the Earthquake Prediction System in Japan” in the March 1974 issue of Technocrat. I was impressed by Professor Usami’s comprehensive review and healthy criticism of earthquake prediction in Japan, which appears fresh even today. He gave an overview of the 1923 Kanto earthquake and Program 1 to 2 of the earthquake prediction project in Japan. The motivation and research for the project in its early stage are well summarized in the paper.
The Tokai earthquake hypothesis [1] was proposed during Program 3, so the budget for the project at national universities was approximately tripled in Program 4 and increased to about 12 billion yen in Program 7 (Table 1). The 1995 Kobe (Hyogo-ken Nanbu) earthquake occurred during Program 7 killing 6,434 people and completely destroying 104,906 houses [2]. Since this unexpected earthquake was as destructive as the 1923 Kanto earthquake, the earthquake prediction project was reformed in New Program 1 (Table 1). The Headquarters for Earthquake Research Promotion was established, moving emphasis from empirical short-term prediction to long-term earthquake forecasting and prediction of strong ground motion [3]. Dr. Hiroe Miyake and I reviewed this situation in a preceding article [4], taking over the mission of writing a recent history of Japanese seismology from Professor Usami's paper.

Published: June 2017

It is our great pleasure to congratulate the Journal of Disaster Research (JDR) on its 10th anniversary. Its first edition, Vol.1 No.1, was published in August 2006 and now it reached Vol.10.
The JDR is published in bimonthly, six issues a year and as the name expresses its basic policy is to cover all types of disaster from a broad, comprehensive perspective except for a war. Starting in 2012, the JDR began a special annual edition on the Great East Japan Earthquake disaster in addition to regular issues, now at Part 4.
Reflecting its editorial policy, the journal’s themes have ranged widely from earthquake engineering to dual use, making the JDR unique and distinguishing it from other journals. The journal is currently included and indexed in nine bibliographic databases and citation indexes.
The traditional Chinese sexagenary cycle consists of 60 years. With two cycles, 120 years represents the maximum span of a human life and a half cycle, 30 years represents a span of a human generation. The JDR is on the way of such spans and we strongly hope that the journal will prove its true worth after its 30 years’ publication.
As Editors-in-Chief, we are most grateful to all who have worked with the JDR and helped reach its 10th anniversary. We thank the editorial board members for editing this journal with their high discernment and the guest editors for arranging special issues with their high profession. We would also like to thank the peer reviewers for their accurate evaluations in a short time and the companies who have helped fund special editions on the Great East Japan Earthquake disaster.
We look forward to seeing the JDR’s papers, reviews, reports, and news continue to give readers valuable information and insightful ideas while contributing to the development of disaster research. The JDR welcomes many people’s participation.

Published: June 2017

Background:
As academic leaders, orthopaedic chairs represent role models for scholarly activities. Despite the importance of journal publications as a measure of scholarly activity, data on the publication productivity of orthopaedic chairs remain limited. The goals of this study were to record the publication productivity of orthopaedic chairs and evaluate the extent to which they maintained their scholarly activity while serving as chairs.

Methods:
The chairs of all orthopaedic residency programs in the United States were identified through the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) web site, and were confirmed by information found on the web site of each orthopaedic program that was included in the study. University and non-university chairs were defined based on affiliation of the program with a medical school. The publication records of the program chairs were retrieved through the Scopus database.

Results:
During the 7 years prior to their appointment to chair, the mean number of total publications was significantly higher for university chairs (n = 58.6, range 0 to 217) than for non-university chairs (n = 29.1, range 0 to 13) (p = 0.003). The mean number of publications per year during the 7 years leading up to the chair position was 4.66 (range, 0 to 25) for the university chairs, and 2.29 (range, 0 to 10.9) for the non-university group (p = 0.02). While serving as chair, the mean number of publications per year significantly decreased among the university chairs to 3.75 (range, 0 to 32.8; p = 0.015), whereas no significant change was observed among non-university chairs. The mean percentage of first authorships was not significantly different between university and non-university chairs. Both groups showed significant declines in first authorships while serving as chair.

Conclusions:
At the time of becoming chair, the average university chair had published approximately 60 manuscripts, whereas the average non-university chair had published approximately 30 manuscripts. While serving as chair, the number of publications per year significantly decreased for university chairs. Among all chairs, the percentage of first authorships significantly decreased while serving as chair.

Claves para la implementación de los lineamientos recursos, descripción y acceso
Authors: Rodríguez García Ariel Alejandro 
Published: June 2017

Con la aparición de los lineamientos para la descripción y el acceso a los recursos, el proceso de catalogación se enfrenta a un desafío distinto que se caracteriza, de principio a fin, por el uso del modelado de datos y la tecnología de la información. Con ello se reconoce que el cambio en la descripción bibliográfica era necesario, pero abandonar lo anterior de golpe no será una tarea fácil. El propósito de este trabajo es subrayar que las prácticas recomendables y los flujos de trabajo formulados a partir de la implementación del nuevo código de catalogación se comprometerán a tomar ventaja en la eficiencia y flexibilidad que se quiere obtener con los datos contenidos en un registro. Uno de los principales resultados de la investigación es documentar la comprensión de lo que está sucediendo alrededor del aplazamiento en la ejecución del nuevo código de catalogación.

Las comunidades académicas y las redes de información en Ciencias Sociales en América Latina: la cooperación como estrategia de sobrevivencia y puente para el conocimiento en tiempos difíciles
Authors: Sabelli Martha 
Published: June 2017

Los centros privados de investigación durante el período autoritario en América Latina constituyeron ONG donde destacados sociólogos, demógrafos, politólogos y otros especialistas de ciencias sociales (que habían tenido un lugar destacado en las universidades públicas hasta su intervención por las dictaduras militares durante los años 70 y 80) generaron conocimiento y líneas de investigación sobre las sociedades de la época. Estos reductos de la “intelligentsia” latinoamericana que pudieron permanecer en la región trabajaron estrechamente con los centros de documentación y bibliotecas. Esto creó un diálogo fecundo y cotidiano entre los profesionales de la información y los académicos, o sea, en y con dominios específicos y comunidades de práctica. El análisis de las redes y recursos de información de aquel período promovidas por CLACSO, DOCPAL de CELADE, CLADES de CEPAL, a la luz de las teorías del análisis del dominio y de la información de la vida cotidiana, ofrece una rica experiencia y aprendizaje a las bibliotecas y servicios de información en ciencias sociales actuales. Los comportamientos informativos de los científicos sociales interrelacionados e insertos en el contexto de los servicios de información y documentación funcionando en redes regionales forman parte de un modelo a difundir y discutir.
LEARNING FROM BELOW: THEORISING GLOBAL GOVERNANCE THROUGH ETHNOGRAPHIES AND CRITICAL REFLECTIONS FROM THE GLOBAL SOUTH
Authors: Xavier Sujith 
Published: June 2017

This paper explores the various means by which we can overcome the universalism imbedded in international law and international institutions. It asks: How can international lawyers and international law scholars learn from the Global South? This ‘how’ question prompts another, but related question: should we learn from the Global South?
There is a rich interdisciplinary body of literature that signals to the Global South, or Europe’s other, as a site of knowledge production. The eurocentrism of the social sciences can be identified by examining the various founding fathers of their respective theories (especially sociology). This paper builds on southern theory in order to learn from these diverse perspectives in theorising global governance.
This paper is organised in three sections. First, it sets out the rationale for a reorientation towards the Global South by examining the current state of global governance theory. In the second section, this paper focus on the broad theoretical foundations of the Third World Approaches to International Law [TWAIL] movement. TWAIL scholarship is a reaction against the colonial and imperial projects of international law. Its main claims are set out and then there is an examination of its proposals as a means to arrive at an answer to the second question: should we learn from the Global South?
In the final section, this paper explores the question of how we can learn from the Global South. In answering this question, the author offers two insights. The first is based on the premise of international law as a field of practice. The second attempts to problematise the ethics of international legal scholarship.
Comparación sistemática de metodologías basadas en información mutua para el registro multimodal de imágenes médicas
Authors: Ospina Torres Gustavo Adolfo , Serna Serna Walter , Daza Santacoloma Genaro 
Published: June 2017

El registro de imágenes sobre todo en el ámbito de la medicina, han cobrado una gran importancia en las últimas décadas pues esto se mejora la planeación, intervención y posterior análisis de dichos procedimientos médicos, como es el caso de las cirugías guiadas por imágenes donde se requiere una especial precisión y confiabilidad. Registrar dos o más imágenes consiste en alinearlas de tal manera que queden orientadas de la misma forma, así se puede combinar la información de ambas en un mismo espacio y en una misma representación visual. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es comparar de forma sistemática algunas metodologías para el registro de imágenes multimodales utilizando medidas de similitud basadas en información mutua (IM).Se obtuvo que el registro de imágenes basada en IM es capaz de registrar imágenes multimodales y monomodales con poca susceptibilidad a los cambios de brillo o contraste en la imagen, pero con alta sensibilidad al ruido. También se estableció que las técnicas de optimización basadas en enjambres de partículas tienen un mejor desempeño para el resultado final de registro en comparación con las otras técnicas analizadas. Además, la técnica de interpolación cúbica (transformación espacial) mejora la confiabilidad del algoritmo en imágenes multimodales.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to analyze the relationship of variability in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) over years with subsequent depressive symptoms.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSSubjects (n = 837) were participants of the Israel Diabetes and Cognitive Decline (IDCD) study, which aimed to examine the relationship of characteristics of long-term type 2 diabetes with cognitive decline. All pertain to a diabetes registry established in 1998, which contains an average of 18 HbA1c measurements per subject. The results presented here are based on the IDCD baseline examination. Symptoms of depression were assessed using the 15-item version of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS). To quantify the association between variability in glycemic control (measured as the SD of HbA1c measurements [HbA1c-SD]) since 1998 with the number of depression symptoms at IDCD baseline, incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and corresponding 95% CIs were estimated via negative binomial regression modeling and used to account for the overdispersion in GDS scores.RESULTSSubjects’ ages averaged 72.74 years (SD 4.63 years), and the mean number of years in the diabetes registry was 8.7 (SD 2.64 years). The mean GDS score was 2.16 (SD 2.26); 10% of subjects had a GDS score ≥6, the cutoff for clinically significant depression. Mean HbA1c significantly correlated with HbA1c-SD (r = 0.6625; P &lt; 0.0001). The SD, but not the mean, of HbA1c measurements was significantly associated with the number of subsequent depressive symptoms. For each additional 1% increase in HbA1c-SD, the number of depressive symptoms increased by a factor of 1.31 (IRR = 1.31 [95% CI 1.03–1.67]; P = 0.03).CONCLUSIONSVariability in glycemic control is associated with more depressive symptoms.
Endorois ügy, egy hosszú út eredménye – avagy az afrikai emberi jogvédelmi mechanizmus joggyakorlata és az őslakos népek jogainak védelme
Authors: Marinkás György 
Published: June 2017

The aim of the current article is to analyse the protection of indigenous peoples’ rights offered by the African human rights mechanism by introducing the Endorois Welfare Council vs. Kenya case[1] (hereafter: Endorois case). The author briefly introduces the preliminaries of the Endorois case, namely how the African mechanism was established and in doing so, he refers to the achievements of the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (hereafter: Commission) in the field of protecting the rights of the African indigenous peoples, also touching upon the critiques regarding its functioning. Then he briefly introduces why the Ogoni case[2]can be regarded as a milestone concerning the rights of indigenous peoples on the African Continent. In the second part, the author focuses on the Endorois case and analyses it in detail: he introduces both the matters of fact and the legal issues; furthermore he pays attention to the implementation of the decision. Finally, in the third part of the article, the author draws his conclusions based on the above mentioned and makes his recommendations.
The author has the opinion that the African mechanism has followed in the footsteps of the Inter-American System and has interpreted the already existing substantial norms in an evolutiv manner, thus achieving tremendous results in the acknowledgement and protection of indigenous rights. They did so with such success that now the “master” – namely the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights – is quoting the student. It follows from the above mentioned that – according to the firm opinion of the author – the African mechanism worth the attention both present time, both in the future, because new trends regarding indigenous rights could arise from the practice of the African Commission.
