Simpodial Bali Bambu is a company that uses laminated bamboo as a furniture base. The company is located in Banjar Dinas Bengkel, West Selemadeg, Tabanan Regency, Bali. Through previous research, this effort uses a lamination technique to avoid powder lice, which is the main enemy of bamboo. Laminate itself is a transparent layer and is useful for protecting bamboo so that it is resistant to water, dust mites, and sunlight. A number of products that have been made by this business include chairs, tables and parquet from laminated bamboo. However, this company has problems selling its products. In addition, the management of financial transactions related to the company is still not structured so that the company's profit and loss is not clear. This community service activity aims to overcome partner problems, namely by providing a website as a promotional and educational media about laminated bamboo, providing website management training, and providing training to manage company finances using Microsoft Excel. Monitoring is done by monitoring the development of traffic on the website. Based on the evaluation results, this activity has a satisfaction index of 80.81% with a very good interpretation of the results.

From a microeconomic perspective, if we refer to a company as an economic agent, its organizational resilience/flexibility, in the unprecedented global economic context generated by COVID-19, is in the limelight, given that a resilient company would design and implement effective actions in order to increase the probability of its own survival. Assuming that a company's assets are those means by which a company can secure an income for a period of several years, since they are economic resources that can generate economic benefits in the future for the company that owns them, we have considered it appropriate to analyse the return on assets at the level of the companies in the HORECA sector. The comprehensive research undertaken is an empirical study in which we have analysed all the companies in the HORECA sector on the territory of Constanta County, located in the coastal area of the Black Sea, for a period of 3 years, 2018-2020, a period which includes the year of the onset of the SARS-COVID-19 pandemic. The selected economic and financial indicators have been fixed assets, current assets, prepaid expenses and net profit, with the help of which we have calculated and analysed the return on total assets. Of the many subgroups of the HORECA sector, the "Other Food Services" subgroup, which had the highest return on assets (ROA), proved to be the most flexible and creative subgroup. Catering specialists, exploiting the context generated by the closing of hotels and restaurants, have modified their business so as to amplify the intrinsic value of their products and to become a psychological and social connection for their consumers.

The purpose of this study was to analyze satisfaction, customer loyalty and sales in 2021 at PT. KK Label Indonesia. This research was made through the implementation of research at PT. KK Label Indonesia, which was held for 4 months. Customer satisfaction and loyalty in 2021 at PT. KK Label is good enough. However, sales at PT. KK Label Indonesia during 2021 is still volatile. This happened because of several factors that influenced it, especially the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and other factors related to the company's operations and marketing. In this study, the source of the data obtained came from secondary data of PT. KK Label Indonesia, obtained through customer satisfaction data which is collected annually by PT. KK Label Indonesia from its customers, company documentation such as archived documents belonging to the company, and interviews with resource persons, namely several employees of PT. KK Label Indonesia in the marketing scope. Meanwhile, in this study it was found that in order to increase customer satisfaction, the company must make improvements to its products and services which many customers complained about. Then, to increase customer loyalty, companies must be responsive to the quality of products and services. As well as to increase sales, companies must increase customer satisfaction and loyalty, as well as perform calculations and analysis of marketing strategies, so that the company's sales targets can be achieved. The results of this study can be used as input for PT. KK Label Indonesia in improving and enhancing marketing strategies.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Long-term data from the HAVEN 1-4 clinical trials reaffirmed the safety and efficacy of emicizumab (HEMLIBRA®) prophylaxis in persons with hemophilia A (PwHA; Callaghan M et al. ISTH 2019 presentation). However, early data from the first Phase III trial, HAVEN 1, identified a risk for thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) or thrombotic events (TEs) when emicizumab was used alongside activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC [FEIBA]; dosed on average a cumulative amount of >100 U/kg/24 hours for ≥24 hours) leading to a warning in the label and ongoing safety monitoring. European Haemophilia Safety Surveillance (EUHASS) is a large pharmacovigilance program that monitors the safety of treatments for inherited bleeding disorders. The EUHASS registry includes real-world data on the use of emicizumab in a broad, representative population of PwHA. The objective of this analysis was to summarize thrombotic, TMA, and anaphylaxis events reported to EUHASS in association with emicizumab prophylaxis. Methods: EUHASS is an investigator-led program with 86 participating centers in 27 countries, with centers reporting information on all the individuals they treat, thus minimizing selection bias. Adverse event data were collected from all PwHA in EUHASS who received emicizumab prophylaxis during 2018. EUHASS adverse event data are not collected according to Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Affairs (MedDRA) classification; however, for this exploratory analysis, events were coded at MedDRA preferred term level as far as possible; endpoints are provided as descriptive statistics. Results: Data from 148 PwHA treated with emicizumab in 2018 were included in this analysis. Concurrent treatments included recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa; NovoSeven®; n=23 PwHA), factor VIII, (FVIII products other than Obizur®; n=9 PwHA) and aPCC (n=1 PwHA). Two adverse events were reported in 2018 (Table 1). One event was an acute reaction (rash), reported 48 hours after dosing of a PwHA treated with emicizumab only. He recovered from the rash; the frequency was 0.7% (1/148; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.02-3.71%). The second event was a TE-a myocardial infarction that occurred 10 hours after emicizumab dosing in a PwHA age >65 years receiving emicizumab and aPCC. The frequency of TE events was calculated as 0.7% (1/148; 95% CI 0.02-3.71%). No TMA or anaphylaxis events were reported. Conclusions: Among PwHA treated with emicizumab at centers participating in EUHASS during 2018, only two adverse events were reported and there were no cases of TMA or anaphylaxis. While a full assessment is reserved for the final analysis, these interim real-world data are not inconsistent with the adverse event profile of emicizumab observed in clinical trials. No new or emerging safety signals for emicizumab were identified. However, this analysis was limited by the low number of emicizumab treated PwHA-especially in those without FVIII inhibitors, and relatively short exposure time to emicizumab. Disclosures Shang: F.

Full textAbstract:
Subject. The article addresses the evaluation of components of synergetic effect in a holding company (corporation) having subsidiaries. These components are formed due to the cohesion and connectivity of enterprises of the holding company (corporation). Objectives. The aim is to determine the areas of functioning of the said enterprises, where a synergetic effect is formed due to their connectivity. Methods. We determined the connectivity of enterprises and the synergetic effect arising from it, using our original model of commodity-money flows in the integrated structure and at each enterprise. The main link of the model, which takes into account the connectivity of enterprises, is a system of equations for the cost of intra-group and market products shipped by enterprises of the holding group (corporation). Results. The paper identifies areas of enterprise functioning in the holding (corporation), in which a synergetic effect is formed due to their connectivity and cohesion. The synergetic effect of connectivity is defined as incremented results of economic activity of enterprises of the holding group or corporation that are generated by the connectivity. We use the Tulamashzavod case and provide specific examples of determining the synergetic effect of connectivity in the selected areas of operation of the holding group enterprises. Conclusions. The synergetic effect, which depends on the connectivity and cohesion of enterprises in a corporation with subsidiaries, manifests itself as a large-scale factor. It generates an increase in sales volume at the corporation's enterprises due to intra-group turnover, and enables to increase their competitiveness.

This research will produce a forest management model that can increase food reserves and the competitiveness of agricultural products from the use of forest land under stands, as an effort to increase food security. The research will be conducted in the production forest area of The State Forestry Public Company (Perhutani) BKPH Pujon KPH Malang Unit II, East Java from September 2020 to February 2021. The method of developing a management model is based on the level of land development. The analysis uses the Structural Equation Model (SEM) model with the help of the WarpPLS program (Partial Least Square development) which is able to accommodate reflective and formative indicators to test the effect between variables. Land use under stands carried out in the agroforestry model provides economic and environmental benefits, therefore, it was to be able to maintain forest sustainability. Profits from agroforestry on land under stands with intercropping of seasonal crops of vegetables and pulses B/C ratio = 1.77.

Upon the implementation of the 12th Five-Year Plan, our government gives great impetus to the poverty alleviation via Internet plus agriculture and e-commerce. With the popularization of rural Internet and the improvement of e-commerce related infrastructure, the project has achieved certain results. Pinduoduo is a typical case company of e-commerce poverty alleviation, because it actively responds to the national call, vigorously participates in the cause of poverty alleviation and agricultural support, uses its own advantages of e-commerce sales, integrates the entire chain including the source purchase of agricultural products, logistics distribution, consumer terminal services, and solves the problems of agricultural production and sales in remote mountainous areas, so as to support the local agricultural development, improve the local economic level, and give assistance to the government eliminate the poor population. This paper takes Pinduoduo as a case analysis object to analyze the motivation, mode and effect of poverty alleviation through Pinduoduo, and puts forward conclusions and suggestions based on personal research results.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Customer churn prevention has been one of the most pressing concerns for telcos to tackle in the rapidly changing telecom business over the past decade, as the industry has faced increased market saturation and intense competition. Social media electronic word-of-mouth (e-WoM) offers telcos with insights into the consumer experience. Capturing preferences and views about products/services via text messaging might increase the recovery mechanism for clients who may churn. This study collects postings from social media forums concerning Taiwan’s top five telecom firms in order to perform an opinion analysis that is thought to be strongly linked with prospective churning consumers. To collect topic-sentiment information, we employ the doc-based Heuristics-N-Phrase-Rules technique. In this study, the sentiment score of negative terms is determined, and correspondence analysis is used to highlight the features and profiles of probable churn consumers. To validate its efficacy, we propose comparing the derived profile information to the telecom company’s lost consumers.</p> <p> </p>

Full textAbstract:
Arena Theatre Company’s Eat Your Young is examined as an intrinsic case study. The aim is to investigate the role of a director in the creation of an original multi-media theatre production designed for young people. The study explores the current social, political and cultural position of young people and argues that they are viewed and portrayed as a marginalised “other”. The history of Arena Theatre Company is documented in relation to the development of Theatre in Education from its British roots to the Company’s current emphasis on contemporary artists exploring the possibilities of multi-art form technology. The development of multi-media usage in theatre over the past century is outlined in order to gain an understanding of Arena’s place within this technological experimentation. Utilising ethnographic methodology, including participant observation, “unstructured” interactive interviews and the construction of participant monologues, the creative rehearsal and planning process of Eat Your Young is chartered over a five month period. The outcomes of the study confirm the literature relating to the qualities of a good director: they are leadership, vision and the ability to collaborate. The metaphor chief architect is coined to describe the central figure of the director, Rosemary Myers. The case study discusses the development of a Company culture where artists work in an intensive social and interactive environment and it identifies the unique pressures and individual responsibility of the role of director.

Full textAbstract:
While much has been written on the Australian film and television
industry, little has been presented by actual producers,
filmmakers and technicians of their time and experiences within
that same industry. Similarly, with historical documentaries, it
has been academics rather than filmmakers who have led the
debate. This thesis addresses this shortcoming and bridges the
gap between practitioner experience and intellectual discussion,
synthesising the debate and providing an important contribution
from a filmmaker-academic, in its own way unique and insightful.
The thesis is presented in two voices. First, my voice, the
voice of memoir and recollected experience of my screen
adventures over 38 years within the Australian industry, mainly
producing historical documentaries for the ABC and the SBS. This
is represented in italics. The second half and the alternate
chapters provide the industry framework in which I worked with
particular emphasis on documentaries and how this evolved and
developed over a 40-year period, from 1970 to 2010.
Within these two voices are three layers against which this
history is reviewed and presented. Forming the base of the
pyramid is the broad Australian film industry made up of feature
films, documentary, television drama, animation and other types
and styles of production. Above this is the genre documentary
within this broad industry, and making up the small top tip of
the pyramid, the sub-genre of historical documentary. These form
the vertical structure within which industry issues are
discussed. Threading through it are the duel determinants of
production: ‘the market’ and ‘funding’.
Underpinning the industry is the involvement of government, both
state and federal, forming the three dimensional matrix for the
thesis. For over 100 years the Australian film industry has
depended on government support through subsidy, funding
mechanisms, development assistance, broadcast policy and
legislative provisions.
This thesis aims to weave together these industry layers, binding
them with the determinants of the market and funding, and
immersing them beneath layers of government legislation and
policy to present a new view of the Australian film industry.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines how NFL Films' engagements with aesthetic traditions, the discourses surrounding the company, and its selective incorporation of positive critical reception into its publicity materials separate the organization from other sports media outlets and, by extension, distinguish the National Football League (NFL) from competing sports organizations. Throughout its history, NFL Films has taken great pains to emphasize its distinction within sports media and in the broader contexts of art and media culture. The company places its productions in dialogue with established aesthetic traditions, reinforces its producers' status as legitimate artists, advertises the various accolades it has received, and distances itself from NFL's commercial motives. This chapter explains NFL Films' use of aesthetic traditions and discourses to craft its image and position the company as part of an artworld—a status that is remarkably rare in sports television and in sports media more generally. It also considers how NFL Films situates Ed and Steve Sabol as artistic visionaries who play central roles in reinforcing its efforts to claim status as a site that produces art.

This chapter examines how the multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation Monsanto has attempted to re-brand itself from a chemical company to a food company through the elaboration of a highly interlaced, multi-platform on-line media strategy. This image enhancement operation is a response to its many critics—from citizen-based groups in India and Mexico to prominent food security activists like Michael Pollan and Vandana Shiva. At the center of analysis is how Monsanto has used the trope of “sustainability” to craft a proactive profile that is responsive to the challenges that the planet is facing. Foregrounding the issue of environmental agency, the chapter provides an assessment of what kinds of environmental discourses the company privileges through its media operations, and how these have been produced as a means to combat those who have challenged Monsanto’s vision of food production and “responsible” environmental stewardship.

Full textAbstract:
Awakening – an Islamic media company formed in London – has created the soundtrack to many Muslim lives during the last two decades and has produced superstars like Sami Yusuf and Maher Zain, among a host of other artists. As the company celebrates its first 20 years in the industry, the book examines Awakening’s rise to global success and their pop music inspired by Islam. Providing the first thorough description of the history and development of new Islamic popular music genres, in particular pop-nashid and Islamic pop, this book argues that Awakening is best understood in relation to the ethical turn in Islamic thinking. In analysing the turn to ethics, the book explores how the Islamic pop industry is, in effect, altering the very formulations of Islamic thought. Closely examining the ethical masculinity of the Awakening artists, alongside their personas in songs, on stage and via social media, the book analyses how popular culture and the creative arts challenge and help change Islamic (re)thinking. The author has been on tour with Awakening artists, analysed the media output by the company and interviewed artists, the Awakening founders, video directors and other key people in the business.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the productions of NFL Films that not only document but also exalt the National Football League (NFL). NFL Films productions document and provide historical records of NFL games. It creates the league's history by arranging exceptional moments into celebratory narratives, such as Greatest Moments in Dallas Cowboys History (1992), Era of Excellence: The 1980s,(1989), and the syndicated television program NFL Game of the Week. NFL Films' documentaries suggest the NFL's past is constituted by extraordinary moments—diving touchdown catches, punishing blocks, and graceful runs—that evidence the league's unique excitement and epic importance. This chapter discusses NFL Films' production practices that aim to glorify pro football and how its material is influenced by the media outlets for which the company produces content. It shows that NFL Films' highlights offer a model through which to explain the emergence of the contemporary sports highlight—perhaps the most powerful and prevalent genre in sports media.

This book explores how NFL Films shaped the way Americans view football and paved the way for the emergence of cable television and Internet sports media. Baseball is traditionally recognized as America's favorite pastime, but the country's most popular and lucrative sports organization since the late 1960s has been the National Football League (NFL). NFL football's tremendous cultural and economic power is not simply a product of the games it provides for millions of live and mediated spectators, but also its cultural meanings. More than merely a game, the sport embodies and articulates characteristics, beliefs, attitudes, and values unique to American history, identity, and everyday life. This book examines the ways that NFL Films' productions changed how pro football, and sport in general, is represented and imagined while establishing a foundation from which the contemporary sports media landscape—an almost unavoidable facet of popular culture—developed. It discusses the institutional and cultural history of NFL Films as well as its circulating and archived productions, the discourses it generates, and the discourses surrounding the company.

Abstract The academic–business effort of a handful of primarily large nations—the United States, Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, and France—culminated in the 1930s and 1940s in a number of potent new therapeutics that created, with subsequent new products over the next decades, what is known as “the pharmaceutical revolution.” This was to a great degree based on academic–business collaboration and proved difficult to accomplish for other large nations like Japan, China, India, Italy, Spain, and Russia, not to mention smaller nations. However, companies in the smaller Scandinavian countries were able to join the group of pioneering nations in a narrow band of products and become original contributors to the pharmaceutical revolution. This book highlights the particular difficulties of the Norwegian experience that counted one major breakthrough and which shows just how challenging it was to join the elite countries in pharmaceuticals. The small and traditional generics company Nyegaard & Co. succeeded only in 1969 with the breakthrough of a new principle for X-ray contrast media. Until the 1960s, it had been distracted and hindered by the national drugs policy. The research success can largely be attributed to corporate competence and corporate initiatives to exploit the Scandinavian rather than the Norwegian medical ecosystem. And the subsequent innovations were made commercial successes through the building of international partnerships with larger corporations. Success came at a price, though, for at the very time the commercial success was at its greatest, in the 1990s, the organization had lost its innovative claw.

A partir de la experiencia adquirida, el objetivo de los autores en este trabajo fue sintetizar una serie de conceptos técnicos fundamentales sobre el crimen económico y sus principales componentes, con el fin de conformar una sólida taxonomía y metodología para medir las percepciones sobre los diferentes tipos de crimen económico en diferentes países de Latinoamérica, iniciando por Colombia, ello permitirá adaptar y mejorar algunos indicadores que se han estandarizado en el ámbito mundial para medir cualitativa y cuantitativamente las variables del crimen económico entre países, instituciones, sectores y personas. En el capítulo 1 y 2 se inicia con un análisis documental sobre cuáles son las principales variables que se toman en cuenta en la literatura especializada sobre este fenómeno económico negativo que registran las empresas, instituciones y países. Para ello, se partió de una taxonomía de 17 variables que proporcionaron información acerca de Transparencia Internacional (TI) y sobre el lenguaje del crimen económico para determinar ocho categorías o tipologías de crimen económico, a las cuales se les denominó taxonomía. En el capítulo 3 se da a conocer una muestra representativa de algunas de las principales organizaciones que se dedican al estudio y combate de delitos económicos y fraudes. Las primeras instituciones que incluimos por su prestigio y seriedad sobre el tema, fueron: Transparencia Internacional (TI), La Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU), PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), Ernst and Young (EY), KPMG y Deloitte and Touche. Además, consideramos datos y reportes del Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) y el Banco Mundial (BM). En los capítulos cuarto, quinto y sexto, analizamos respectivamente el crimen económico desde sus tres perspectivas o niveles: 1.) Por país, 2.) Por empresas, y 3.) Por personas. Por último, en el capítulo séptimo damos unas conclusiones que consideramos nos dan una primera visión para un análisis metodológico y con mayor rigor científico sobre el crimen económico En el capítulo séptimo incluimos las conclusiones finales basadas en el marco teórico sobre la teoría marginalista y teoría behaviorista, que nos permite fundamentar nuestras reflexiones y conclusiones. También adicionamos las ideas de Francis Fukuyama con respecto al concepto de confianza y capital social, que son componentes importantes de la ética y responsabilidad social empresarial. Incluimos además unas ideas sobre la teoría institucionalista que determina en gran medida el comportamiento de un individuo dependiendo del tipo de institución en dónde se desarrolla.

Abstract Space is a central element in human communication. In this chapter, the authors compare representations of landscapes in different media types, including texts, maps, and virtual reality to show how they express spatial conceptions. Such a comparison is necessary to understand the mechanisms behind combinations and transformations among different media; hence, it forms a useful basis for analysing media interacting with spaces more generally. Taking a step back, the authors then discuss how the materiality and concreteness of space interact with the abstract conceptual level of models. This makes it possible to study traditional two-dimensional maps and texts as well as three-dimensional modelling and virtual reality systems. Finally, the authors introduce virtual reality as a new media form in the light of empirical experiments conducted at the University of Cologne.

Abstract The starting point for this chapter is that natural scientific research on the ecological crisis must be communicated by media products to the general public, industries, and policymakers. Such communication takes place via a wide array of different media types, from arts and literature to journalism and politics—media types that are, broadly speaking, the objects of environmental humanities. The problem is that it is very difficult to analyse, discuss, and compare such a diversity of texts or media products (here called ecomedia). This chapter tries to combine the basic ideas of ecocriticism concerning the environmental crisis with the vocabulary and analytical possibilities developed in intermedial studies to perform such a task, resulting in what the author calls intermedial ecocriticism. The chapter sketches out the main theoretical backgrounds of this position and suggests taking an analytical approach. It also compares and discusses two different media products: an online popular science article from CarbonBrief and a Danish novel about climate change.

AbstractThis research was conducted in Medan, Tanjung Morawa, Kabanjahe, Tebing Tinggi, Pematang Siantar, Rantau Parapat, Padang Sidempuan, Tanjung Pura, Balige, Sibolga and Kisaran. This research’s problem was that the company has carried out various activities such as promotions, increasing the number of flavors, and decreasing prices using discounts and promotions on social media to increase sales. However, sales of Oreo Mini products have not increased. This study aims to analyze how brand image, taste variation, price perception, and promotion influence purchase decisions and the influence of purchase decision as a mediator on consumer loyalty to buy Oreo mini biscuits in North Sumatra. This study is quantitative research. The population in this study were all consumers of Oreo mini products in North Sumatra. The sample size in this study was 161 respondents. This research used SmartPLS (Partial Least Square) software to analyze the data. This research concludes that brand image, taste variation, price perception, and promotion positively and significantly affect customer loyalty. Brand image, taste variation, price perception, and promotion indirectly affect loyalty through purchase decisions.

The importance of the Word of Mouth is growing day by day in many topics. This phenomenon is evident in everyday life, e.g., the rise of influencers and social media managers. If more people positively debate specific products, then even more people are encouraged to buy them and vice versa. This effect is directly affected by the relationship between the potential customer and the reviewer. Moreover, considering the negative reporting bias is evident in how the Word of Mouth analysis is of absolute interest in many fields. We propose an algorithm to extract the sentiment from a natural language text corpus. The combined approach of Neural Networks, with high predictive power but more challenging interpretation, with more simple but informative models, allows us to quantify a sentiment with a numeric value and to predict if a sentence has a positive (negative) sentiment. The assessment of an objective quantity improves the interpretation of the results in many fields. For example, it is possible to identify crucial specific sectors that require intervention, improving the company's services whilst finding the strengths of the company himself (useful for advertising campaigns). Moreover, considering that the time information is usually available in textual data with a web origin, to analyze trends on macro/micro topics. After showing how to properly reduce the dimensionality of the textual data with a data-cleaning phase, we show how to combine: WordEmbedding, K-Means clustering, SentiWordNet, and the Threshold-based Naïve Bayes classifier. We apply this method to Booking.com and TripAdvisor.com data, analyzing the sentiment of people who discuss a particular issue, providing an example of customer satisfaction.

AbstractThe rapid growth of technology has been experienced since the beginning of the 21st century. Technology has become inseparable from the daily life of today’s society; with the help of daily devices such as tablets, smartphones, and laptops, the internet can now be accessed instantly. Due to technology’s growth, many industries have become more digitalized. Industry such as entertainment and video games can now be distributed digitally through the company’s digital distribution, known as Online Storefronts. Digital distribution, such as Online Storefronts, enables users to purchase video games innovatively; rather than receiving the product in a physical product, users can now enjoy the product in the digital form and receive and download it soon after they purchase the game. Since this purchasing method is relatively new, this research aims to identify the factors that affect the consumers’ attitude toward video game online shopping by using the online storefronts method. The factors include Perceived Website Reputation, Perceived Website Quality, Relative Advantage, Perceived Website Image, Trust, and e-WOM (Electronic Word of Mouth). Moreover, this study will provide the data collected through an online survey distributed using social media platforms to gain insight into this study. The regression analysis method will be used in this research to test the hypotheses of this research.

AbstractIn recent years there have been astonishing advances in AI-based synthetic media generation. Thanks to deep learning methods it is now possible to generate visual data with a high level of realism. This is especially true for human faces. Advanced deep learning tools allow one to easily change some specific attributes of a real face or even create brand new identities. Although this opens up a large number of new opportunities, just think of the entertainment industry, it also undermines the trustworthiness of media content and supports the spread of fake identities over the internet. In this context, there is a fundamental need to develop robust and automatic tools capable of distinguishing synthetic faces from real ones. The scientific community is making a huge research effort in this field, proposing several interesting approaches. However, a universal detector is yet to come. Fundamentally, the research in this field is like a cat and mouse game, with new detectors that are designed to deal with powerful synthetic face generators, while the latter keep improving to produce more and more realistic images. In this chapter we will present the most effective techniques proposed in the literature for the detection of synthetic faces. We will analyze their rationale, present real-world application scenarios , and compare different approaches in terms of accuracy and generalization ability.

Until recently, a company's communications with the public were unidirectional and mostly limited to advertisements in mass media. This gave companies almost complete control over their brand and image. Nowadays, a new set of media, in which the public has similar capabilities for creating content as companies has emerged: social media. The growth of this medium has been exponential, endowing it with a reach that can dwarf traditional mass media. Having or not having a presence in such media is not just a choice of the company. The company's customers and the general public can generate content related to a company without the company’s consent. There is no way for the company to avoid it. All they can do is listen to the conversations, engage in them, and try to dampen negative feelings while steering the overall conversation in positive directions. Given the size of social networks and the large number of conversations that they support on a daily basis, manual monitoring is impossible. In this chapter, the authors review and evaluate various tools to support the tasks of monitoring and managing the content of social media that is relevant for a company, a brand, or a product.

The products produced by the media as professional work is news, information, and cultural content. These products are produced based on the historical organization of the media operating as a commercial company. With the 1980s, some structural changes in capitalism, such as globalization, flexible capital-labor relations, and the digital revolution, have greatly influenced the field of journalism. In parallel with the transformations in the media ownership structure, media organizations operate according to market conditions. As a result, the transfer of news and information of media is gradually decreasing. Today, the Propaganda Model, which reflects the merger of commercial media companies, levels of extreme inequality, class conflict and emerging new authoritarianism, remains valid. On the basis of a critical political economy approach, this chapter proposes to draw a road map of Herman and Chomsky's Propaganda Model and the current theoretical framework of journalism, including the effects of digital technology in journalism on news production.

Full textAbstract:
Persuasion is a marketing technique used by companies that encourages a potential customer to take action in favor of the company. Persuasive content promotion relies on the creation and distribution of online materials, such as videos, blog articles, and social media posts, that are designed to generate interest in a company's products or services. Also, the content must be relevant to search engines, so that the company is displayed as high as possible in the list of search results when someone searches for certain keywords. This will lead to increased sales, attracting traffic to the site, increasing brand recognition and strengthening public presence and trust. Successful content doesn't necessarily have to go viral or be seen by millions of users. It needs to be adapted to the audience and encourage customers to take certain actions. Content must not only attract customers, but also solve problems. Content marketing must help the potential buyer choose from all the offers available to him, the goods or services that best meet the consumer's needs. To write a persuasive text it is necessary to take into account the writing process and the structure of the text. The writing process includes several important stages: research, organization of ideas, actual writing process and editing. The structure of the text should follow the formula: Attention-Emotion-Information. The main condition when persuasive writing techniques are used is that the "good" product, is the one suitable for the consumer in question. If persuasion techniques are used, and the product does not meet the requirements that the consumer has, then the manipulation of people occurs. This will lead to a disappointed customer who will leave negative feedback. That is why persuasion techniques must be used very carefully, so that they work both for the benefit of the company and the client.

In The 11th International Conference on Environmental Remediation and Radioactive Waste Management. ASMEDC, 2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icem2007-7301.
Full textAbstract:
The Final Treatment Centre (FTC) for Mochovce Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) have been designed for treatment and final conditioning of radioactive liquid and wet waste produced by named NPP equipped with Russian VVER-440 type of reactors. Treated wastes comprise radioactive concentrates, spent resin and sludge. VUJE Inc. as an experienced company in field of treatment of radioactive waste in Slovakia has been chosen as main contractor for technological part of FTC. During the realisation of project the future operator of Centre required the contractor to solve the treatment of wastes produced in the process of NPP A-1 decommissioning. On the basis of this requirement the project was modified in order to enable manipulations with waste products from A-1 NPP transported to Centre in steel drums. The initial project was prepared in 2003. The design and manufacture of main components were performed in 2004 and 2005. FTC civil works started in August 2004. Initial non-radioactive testing of the system parts were carried out from April to September 2006, then the tests of systems started with model concentrates and non-radioactive resins. After the processes evaluation the radioactive test performed from February 2007. A one-year trial operation of facility is planned for completion during 2007 and 2008. The company JAVYS, Inc. is responsible for radioactive waste and spent fuel treatment in the Slovak republic and will operate the FTC during trial operation and after its completion. This Company has also significant experience with operation of Jaslovske Bohunice Treatment Centre. The overall capacity of the FTC is 820 m3/year of concentrates and 40 m3/year of spent resin and sludge. Bituminization and cementation were provided as main technologies for treatment of these wastes. Treatment of concentrate is performed by bituminization on Thin Film Evaporator with rotating wiping blades. Spent resin and sludge are decanted, dried and mixed with bitumen in blade homogeniser. The bitumen product is discharged into 200dm3 steel drums. Drums with bitumen product or drums originated from A-1 NPP are loaded into Fibre Reinforced Concrete containers (FRC) and grouted with cement. Cement grout is prepared from the mixture of cement, additive and radioactive over-concentrate. By formulating the cement grout with evaporator concentrates the maximum radioactivity is fixed in cement matrix and volume of final waste product is minimized. A batch mixer with rotating blades is used to produce the cement grout. The grouted FRC containers are stored in the expedition hall and after 28 days of curing are transported to final disposal. After the start of routine operation, the FTC provides treatment for all liquid and wet LLW produced from the operation of the Mochovce NPP. The final product of the FTC is a FRC loaded with bitumen product in drums and filled with radioactive cement product. This container meets all limits for final disposal in the National Radioactive Waste Repository at Mochovce. This paper introducing the main parts of FTC and describes the technological procedures including the basic technological parameters for both used technologies, their working capacity and the overall waste flow. The evaluation of experience gained in the phases of Centre construction and commissioning and partially trial operation as well is a part of this paper (Evaluation of completion works process and time schedule, testing of systems using model media, radioactive testing and trial operation).

In order to stay competitive in high-pressure environments such as the news media industry, an agile and adaptive approach to product management is needed. We present a model of digital product innovation which allows news publishers to quickly determine the priority of innovations, whether radical or incremental. Careful observation of key performance indicators (KPI) and company resources, resulted in the categorization of key parameters included in the model: innovation type (4), impacted areas/KPIs (14), resources required (6), investment cost (3), who requested the development of the new feature (9), urgency (3), time of realization (9), risk (3) and platforms affected (8). The model was successfully applied in the case of Telegraf.rs, one of Serbia's leading internet news portals.

Full textAbstract:
Isolation and purification of antithrombin III (AT III) by affinity chromatography on immobilized heparin is a standard method for the large scale preparation of this protein from human or animal plasma. Hence, after AT III became available by gentechnological methods, we tried to adapt this procedure for the isolation of AT III from supernatants of mammalian- and yeast-cells. Indeed, it was possible to use this method also for the isolation of the recombinant gene products. Since, however, the cell growth media contain heterologous protein or peptide mixtures like fetal calf serum, the method had to be improved to avoid the adsorption of non human proteins or peptides. We are now able to purify AT III from CHO-cell-superna-tants to more than 95 % purity. The characterization of this AT III-product by double immuno diffusion revealed that it is immunologically totally identical with the authentic material from plasma. AT III antigen content, progressive inhibitor activity and heparin cofactor activity compare very well in the final product; hence, it is totally active compared to AT III from plasma.In polyacrylamidegel electrophoresis most of the material migrated differently to the authentic material showing 9 bands in equal distance to each other, instead four in the At III from plasma. After degradation with sialinidase from both AT III preparations identical cleavage products were obtained migrating predominantly as a single band. Hence, the electrophoretic heterogeneity seems to be due to a different degree of sialinyla-tion of the products.

Information and communication technologies exert considerable pressure on the educational environment. Students’ digital skills are less widely used in the educational process for creative purpose. Although access to electronic devices is high, the digital skills of Romanian ‘students are underdeveloped. The principal aim of this research is to investigate the dimensions of social media use in educational context. To reach this purpose we investigate the level of the digital literacy competences at both Full time Bachelor’s Degree Programs enrolled students and those enrolled in the postgraduate courses. Second, we compare the level of use of social media in networking between Full time Bachelor’s Degree Programs enrolled students and students enrolled in postgraduate courses. The third aim of this study was to investigate the student perception regarding the frequency of use of social media by teachers in the teaching – learning process. The research method is based on a questionnaire survey. In research participated 107 students of which 57 students were enrolled in the Full time Bachelor’s Degree Programs and 50 students were enrolled in the postgraduate courses. The results show that the use of ITC is in the process of transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0. Students exchange information, use social media platforms at different levels and contribute slightly with original product in virtual environment. The investigated groups do not hold the whole range of skills necessary to fully utilize social media in the educational context. Students exchange information, use social media platforms at different levels, but they do not creatively contribute to the common knowledge in the digital environment through their own original products or by improving the quality of existing online or digital products.

Abstract Three universities on three continents co-operated in teaching global product realization. The Global Product Realization (GPR) course is a highly innovative course in which virtual classrooms and workshops have been formed via ISDN lines, internet facilities and other information technological means representing the state-of-the-technology. This paper gives an insight into the background, the goals, and the implementation of the course. It also outlines the course contents, the layout, and the supporting infrastructure. The GPR course is based on three backbones: academic lectures, company case studies, and a product development project. Parallel to learning of the theoretical and practical backgrounds from academic and industry experts, the international student groups were busy with the development of a global product. It was a coffeemaker for the American, Dutch and Korean markets. The results achieved by the students were presented at the GPR Closing Workshop and Exhibition, where all participants came together to meet the media and the interested parties from academia and industry. The GPR course is a good example of a successful utilization of the opportunities offered by the latest technologies for the implementation of global design and manufacturing in a global environment.

"Hybrid Sand Control Screen Using the Combined Surface and Depth Filtration." In SPE Western Regional Meeting. SPE, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/200830-ms.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Development of weakly and unconsolidated sand reservoirs require effective sand control media to prevent sand production. The existing sand control devices in the market are either relying on surface filtration to prevent sand production through size exclusion or bridging or depth filtration which relies on the pore size distribution of a porous filter or pack to prevent the sand from producing along the production fluids. In this study, we introduce a new hybrid sand screen that works based on a combined surface and depth filtration. Radial Sand Control Evaluation (RSCE) testing facility was used to compare the solid production and flow performance of the new hybrid screen with various mesh media in multi-phase gas and liquid flow under various fluid injection scenarios. Solid production and flow performance were compared with investigated cases. The new hybrid screen provides an optimized Open to Flow Area (OFA) in comparison to available surface filtration or depth filtration media, which provides required OFA, while prevents sanding. The robust design, low cost and manufacturing ease make it a suitable screen media for most sand control applications. The sand retention test results under various fluid injection scenarios including multi-phase oil, brine, and gas show that it outperforms the Dutch Twill (DT) weave and Reverse Dutch Twill (RDT) weave of equivalent aperture size, with better flow performance at constant flow rate tests compare to best-performing mesh media, while keeping the produced sand far below the acceptable thresholds. Hybrid design handles both high velocity and high Gas-Oil Ratio (GOR) better than equivalent depth filtration media of equivalent size. This paper presents a detailed characterization, flow performance testing of a new hybrid sand control media that combines the surface filtration and depth filtration properties to achieve better solid retention and flow performance. The hybrid screen media is suitable for high-rate producers with high GOR. Keywords: Hybrid Screen, Surface Filtration, Depth Filtration, Radial Sand Control Evaluation (RSCE) Testing

Full textAbstract:
Without a machine, human beings cannot process the massive data volume produced by us nowadays for business analysis purposes. Being part of the critical decision-making process in the commercial sector, the usage and role of Big Data, especially those collected from social listening are getting important: how a company listen to the true voices from a group of genuine customers and avoid those misleading, fake comments generated by the robot, to enhance the efficiency on measuring competitor's performance towards their marketing return compared to the investment (MROI), is critical and more challenging.In this paper, we will discuss various analytical methodologies from the angles of business and technological viewpoint: what decision-makers want from social media, what kind of information are they looking into, how visualization provides instant insights and what kind of system design provides enough interaction to the decision-maker. We will investigate the real-world challenges and difficulties: how the data inconsistency affects the computational analysis, what kind of obstacles was facing in the existing product de-sign in the market. Finally, we will conclude the used machine learning techniques that can address the mentioned business problems, including the successful rate, accuracy and various efficiency level in the studied samples.

The event, in 2019, featured two actions: a colloquium at the Anhembi-Morumbi University and another colloquium at the University of Brasília, with guests exclusively, who participate as speakers, and in communications at round tables. The participation of listeners is free and seeks to bring researches closer to the institutions involved in Brazil together with Université Paris 8 Vincennes - Saint-Denis, with which we have established effective partnerships for over ten years. The products of these meetings are published in annals, in books and in periodicals. The general objective of the events is to promote, disseminate and compare research in progress in the main research centers in the country and abroad inserted in the media, galleries and museums to contribute to the reflection, the formulation of theories and the history of the current culture.The event, in 2019, presented two actions: a colloquium at the Anhembi-Morumbi University and another colloquium at the University of Brasília, with guests exclusively, who participate as speakers, and in communications at round tables.

Hardly any engineering product is free of trouble and it has to go through service work, corrective or preventive. Fixing a mechanical pencil with a jammed lead is relatively an easy task for a mechanical engineer, whereas maintaining a power plant requires thorough planning, material handling, work order processing, and huge workforce. Naturally service work for large structures require a well designed database. The authors have shown [1] the importance of feeding service information back to the designer for authorization so the serviceperson will not “invent” maintenance work that may lead to product failure. This paper further suggests opening the whole service process to the public. The idea is especially valuable for some industries that need public acceptance, e.g., nuclear power generation. Nuclear power generation is often a subject of debate for public acceptance. This paper discusses two incidents of cover-ups by utility companies that caused large setback in their public acceptance, one case of overreaction triggered by the media showing dramatic accident scenes without explaining what was going wrong, and an example of poor management that cost a utility company its credence with the public. Up to the time of these incidents utility companies, out of the mindset of “Public do not understand our highly technical operation so telling them what is going on just creates confusion,” tended not to fully explain events that may have affected the public. Thanks to the way information flows around the world these days, even though we may not follow the “techy” words, there are those that understand the phenomena and are good at rephrasing the information so we can easily understand them. The utility company in the poor management case, Chugoku Electric Power Company (ENERGIA), in its efforts to recover the public trust, started a new service information system on the web that opens information about troubles and nonconformance in their plants to the public. This paper explains this new system that is currently in operation. It is a total change in the way a utility company interacts with the public. The courageous step by ENERGIA raises the public knowledge and awareness of nuclear power generation and assures security and safety to the society. The INTERNET is making it harder for companies, administration, educational institutions or any other entities to operate without public acceptance. Opening information is a way we all have to get used to in the coming years.

Full textAbstract:
El hueso es un tejido conectivo duro, muy especializado que compone el esqueleto humano, aunque en el recién nacido son blandos y flexibles por su componente principal, los cartílagos. Según el tipo de tejido, se clasifican como compacto y esponjoso; y de acuerdo con su forma se denominan: largos, cortos, planos, irregulares y sesamoideos. Funcionalmente, el esqueleto se divide en axial, ubicado en la línea media del cuerpo humano y Apendicular, localizado por fuera del eje central del cuerpo. Sus funciones destacan el movimiento del cuerpo humano, protección de órganos internos, mantenimiento de la postura, almacén metabólico, sostenimiento del cuerpo humano y productor de células sanguíneas. Con esta guía se pretende que el estudiante del curso sistema músculo esquelético y tegumentario de la Facultad de Medicina identifique y realice la armazón del esqueleto en el laboratorio de morfología y refuerce el estudio anatómico del sistema óseo.
