Perfect Order Research Articles

Revelation and Misunderstanding

ABSTRACT This article considers the millenarian disposition among the Buton of North Seram sub-district, Maluku. Particular focus is paid to how the Buton interpret their inclusion in indigenous cosmologies, given their current precarious and humiliating existence. In Maluku, the Buton have long been regarded as lower-class people, outsiders who are excluded from local cultural schematics and are both socially and legally vulnerable. Instead of simply seeing their aspiration for a new and perfect social order as something springing from their desire to end their predicament, and rather than viewing their belief as something invented for this end, I suggest that the incongruent communication of cosmological tropes is important in the formation of their millenarian framework. The Buton understand the presence of their mythical representations in the indigenous cosmologies as evidence of the original order, which inspires them to believe that the Seram people are concealing the truth and that its revelation will upturn the current oppressive order. For the often referred Seram communities, however, the inclusion of Buton mythical representations is a way of assimilating a powerful, dangerous stranger and perpetuating the wholeness of their cosmology. The emphasis on the productivity of the misunderstanding rather than the creative act of expanding symbolic frameworks helps explain the peculiar relationality which grounds Buton millenarianism.

Post-Religious Era: Reflections on the Legalization of Religious Ethics

Not only is the religion a spiritual belief, but also a general way of life. Traditional religions are questioned for lack of authenticity, and the death of God inevitably leads to the collapse of religion and its value system, which continues to weaken or even dissolve the meaning of the world and the meaning of life, etc. The secularization of religion is characterized by the separation of the transcendental elements of religion from the human knowledge structure or moral system. However, the removing process of religious factors may harm the morality itself. A feasible way is to translate moral elements by means of scientific language and to set the roots of morality within human reason or nature, that is, to find out the rational alternatives of religious ideas that carry morality for a long time. Law is the key element of post-religious society, and the overflow and migration of religious ethics to law will be conductive to create a new perfect order.

Rational Synthesis of Cylindrical Silver Single-crystalline Nanowires via Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) Reduction of AgCl

We presented a simple yet convenient hydrothermal approach for the large-scale synthesis of uniform cylindrical silver (Ag) single-crystalline nanowires with diameters of about 25 nm and lengths of 1–4 µm. Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) was used as a reducing agent, and AgCl was used as a precursor to deliberately control [Ag+] at a low degree in the overall reaction process through its dynamic equilibrium by directly reducing AgCl with PVP at a quasi-equilibrium growth condition. The as-obtained products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), infrared spectra (IR) and Raman spectra. Factors such as [PVP], reaction temperature, time, and species of reducing agents and precursors were investigated to have strong influences on the morphologies and structures of the resultant Ag nanostructures. The wire diameter can conveniently be adjusted between 25 and 50 nm by simply adjusting [PVP], reaction temperature and reducing agent species. The as-synthesized silver nanowires can be self-assembled into perfect order arrays after being dried on tin foil due to the PVP coating on the surface, the circular cross-section and the uniform diameter of the Ag nanowires. These special silver nanowires with a core-shell structure as well as their spontaneous self-assembly of order arrays are expected to provide potential applications in flexible conductors, dielectric materials, electromagnetic shielding materials and nano-devices.

A Parking Slot Allocation Framework Based on Virtual Voting and Adaptive Pricing Algorithm

Parking lot allocation problem has received much attention in recent years. There have been various works in the literature that target the parking slot allocation problem. However, most of these works use algorithms that run on centralized servers and are based on some predictions on historical data. Due to the dynamic nature of vehicular networks, the accuracy of such prediction models is not high which ends up in a chaotic situation for the parking lot owners as well as the vehicle owners. Therefore, a distributed Parking slot Allocation Framework based on Adaptive Pricing Algorithm and Virtual Voting is proposed in this paper. The proposed model is based on virtual voting and hashgraph consensus algorithm. Using the model, all users and parking lot owners can easily come to consensus finality about the allocation of a parking slot with the use of minimal bandwidth. The proposed model provides a fair, fast and cost-optimal parking slot allocation method. The perfect ordering of allocation requests is also maintained based on consensus timestamp. Further, an adaptive pricing model is proposed to enhance the overall revenue of the parking lot owners and comfort of the users. The proposed model is deterministic and can reduce the average parking cost and time. Performance evaluations reveal that the proposed model outperforms its counterparts in terms of accurate parking slot allocation, reduced cost and parking lot resource utilization.

Interplay between chemical order and magnetic properties in L10 FeNi (tetrataenite): A first-principles study

We use first-principles-based calculations to investigate the interplay between chemical order and the magnetic properties of $L1_0$ FeNi. In particular, we investigate how deviations from perfect chemical order affect the energy difference between the paramagnetic and ferromagnetic states as well as the important magneto-crystalline anisotropy energy. Our calculations demonstrate a strong effect of the magnetic order on the chemical order-disorder transition temperature, and conversely, a strong enhancement of the magnetic transition temperature by the chemical order. Most interestingly, our results indicate that the magnetic anisotropy does not decrease significantly as long as the deviations from perfect order are not too large. Moreover, we find that in certain cases a slight disorder can result in a higher anisotropy than for the fully ordered structure. We further analyze the correlation between the magneto-crystalline anisotropy and the orbital magnetic moment anisotropy, which allows to study the effect of the local chemical environment on both quantities, potentially enabling further optimization of the magneto-crystalline anisotropy with respect to chemical order and stoichiometric composition.

Perfect short-range ordered alloy with line-compound-like properties in the ZnSnN2:ZnO system

We present a new solid-state material phase which is a disordered solid solution but offers many ordered line-compound features. The emergent physical phenomena are rooted in the perfect short-range order which conserves the local octet rule. We model the dual-sublattice-mixed semiconductor alloy {mathrm{(ZnSnN}}_{mathrm{2}}{mathrm{)}}_{1 - x}{mathrm{(ZnO)}}_{2x} using first-principles calculations, Monte-Carlo simulations with a model Hamiltonian, and an extension of the regular solution model by incorporating short-range order. We demonstrate that this unique solid solution, occurring at a “magic” composition, can provide an electronically pristine character without disorder-induced charge localization and, therefore, a superior carrier transport similar to ordered phases. Interestingly, this phase shows singularities that are absent in the conventional solid-solution models, such as the regular solution and band-gap bowing model. Thermodynamically, this alloy phase has a sharply reduced enthalpy at its composition (like a line compound), but it still requires the entropy from long-range disorder to be stabilized at experimentally accessible temperatures.

Determinants of international marketing strategy for emerging market multinationals

PurposeThe main objective of this study is to evolve the basis of beneficial impact assessment of international marketing strategy (IMS) for emerging market multinationals by applying construct-measurement research methodology. The purpose of this study is to link the conceptual definition and empirical indicators of the proposed integrated model with the objective on “Developing Model to Assess Benefit Impacts Generated by International Marketing”, the authors named it GAMBIT.Design/methodology/approachSelf-administered questionnaires were used to collect data from international marketing executives and senior management executives from Indian manufacturing firms using Churchill's approach (1979, 1987). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and structural equation modeling (using SPSS Statistics 20.0 and AMOS) were used to develop the GAMBIT model. Various hypotheses pertaining to perfect order fulfillment and quality level were formulated.FindingsIn the order of significance, the four key influential factors for beneficial impact assessment in the multicultural global environment are as follows: sources of beneficial impacts; operational efficiency; international marketing strategic choice and beneficial outcomes.Originality/valueAlthough companies have realized the importance of assessing beneficial impacts, they often do not know how exactly the assessment should be made. Thus, the present study provides a useful tool for evaluating the totality of beneficial impacts offered by IMS.

Cotton Cloth‐Induced Flexible Hierarchical Carbon Film for Sodium‐Ion Batteries

AbstractFlexible substrates play a decisive effect on the functions of flexible energy storage devices. However, systematical investigation and understanding of often‐used flexible carbon‐based substrates is lack. In this work, a reliable cotton cloth induced flexible hierarchical carbon film is facilely obtained. The synthesized‐carbonized cotton cloth (SCC) owns distinctive carbon nature with perfect order level and defects, unique porous microstructure, and crosslinked‐network. The SCC exhibits favorable flexibility, fast kinetics, high structural and electrochemical durability with high performance (239.4 mAh g−1 and 155.2 mAh g−1 at 0.01 A g−1 in the ether‐ and ester‐based electrolyte in sodium‐ion batteries, respectively), superior to commonly‐used commercial carbon cloth and graphene film. In addition, the predominant surface‐controlled reaction mechanism, effective solid electrolyte interphase and favorable compatible features with different electrolytes are also intensively studied.

Perfect Order and Its Components: Application for Deliveries of Fast Moving Consumer Goods to Retail Stores

The perfect order concept is traditionally used to measure logistics performance, but the conventional assessment of the perfect order from the perspective of the “in-time, in-full and error-free” trinity is no longer viable today. This paper aims to make a modest contribution to creating a novel understanding of the perfect order concept. Based on the primary survey in 132 Czech retail stores, the authors identify the key components that constitute a perfect order fulfilment of fast moving consumer goods to retail stores, namely reliability, collaboration, extra adaptation, ordering, and promotion. Subsequently, it was discovered that there are the differences in the influence of the identified components depending on the retail store type. Retail stores in the sense of drugstores regard extra adaptation and promotion as being the more important components compared to retail stores specialising in food products. Independent retail stores regard collaboration and promotion as being much less important components compared to retail stores that form part of a retail chain. Ordering is a more important component for small retail stores compared to large retail stores. Retail stores located in a capital city and in towns representing the centres of individual regions regard collaboration and extra adaptation to be the more important components compared to retail stores located in small towns. Research results support perfection in measuring logistics performance and make it possible to improve retail store operation.

High‐throughput proteome analysis using 50 cm long micro pillar array columns (μPAC&[trade

The practice of bottom‐up proteomics relies to a large extent on the separation performance that can be achieved with state‐of‐the art nano LC‐MS/MS equipment. Depending on the sample complexity or the instrument time that can be dedicated to a certain sample, different LC columns and corresponding LC‐MS/MS methods are required. When aiming for comprehensive proteome analysis with deep coverage, relatively long columns (lengths up to 75 cm) are typically operated with long and shallow solvent gradients, delivering the highest chromatographic performance. However, daily routine proteome analysis often deals with much less complex samples or demands increased sample throughput, making total analysis times above 120 min undesirable or even impossible. The LC columns typically used for this type of analyses do not exceed 25 cm in length, with a focus on workflow robustness and efficiency rather than on maximizing chromatographic performance or peak capacity (1).In the past few years, micro pillar array column (μPAC™) technology has evolved from a tool to perform fundamental LC research to a powerful alternative for classical nano LC columns. The inherent high permeability and low ‘on‐column’ dispersion obtained by the perfect order of the separation bed makes pillar array based chromatography unique in its kind. The peak dispersion originating from heterogeneous flow paths in the separation bed is drastically reduced and therefore components remain much more concentrated during separation (2). Apart from an improved efficiency, pillar array columns can also be designed with substantially lower flow resistances compared to packed bed columns. The distance between the pillars can be independently controlled from the pillar size, enabling the fabrication of columns over a range of external porosities.Using a 50 cm long reversed phase C18 μPAC™ nano LC column in combination with a Thermo Orbitrap Elite mass spectrometer for detection, we demonstrate extremely robust and high‐throughput proteome analysis at capillary flow rates up to 2 μl/min. At these flow rates, sample throughput can be increased to 20, 30, 60 and even 100 samples per day with corresponding peak capacity values (nC) of respectively 300, 250, 200 and 150. When comparing the chromatographic performance that could be obtained for single protein and cell lysate tryptic digest samples to state‐of‐the art packed bed nano LC columns (packed with sub 2 μm silica particles), average peptide peak widths could be reduced by a factor of 1.6. For complex HeLa cell digest samples, this resulted in an increase in peptide and protein group identifications of respectively 60 and 40%.

Supply Chain Performance Measurement at Louserindo Megah Permai Using S.C.O.R. Model

Abstract – A local elevator manufacturing company in Indonesia, Louserindo Megah Permai (LMP) has been competing for more than 20 years with many foreign companies that dominate the market. To stay competitive LMP needs to maintain and improve its supply chain performance. LMP strategy to stay in business is responsiveness to the customers demand. To do this LMP needs to identify and measure which specific supply chain performances need to be improved. The most popular tool for this purpose is the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) Model. Measurement variable used to measure the performance of the supply chain of LMP using the SCOR model is customer-focused that includes the Reliability attribute with Perfect Order Fulfillment metrics, and Responsiveness with Order Fulfillment Cycle Time metrics. The result shows that the measurement for the result of LMP's supply chain for the period of 2014, earned performance value of 79.95%. The calculations on SCOR performance indicators that have been done, there are 2 metrics that includes in low-performance value, which is Delivery Performance to Customer Commit Date with the performance value of 40%, and Source Cycle Time with the value of 44%. Further in 2015 LMP repeated the measurement in some different aspects of the SCOR performances. LMP gained more in terms of reliability 83.69% but lose more in terms of responsiveness with an average of 69%.

The comparative analysis of global pandemics of two respective genre

The ongoing global pandemic that has been demolishing every aspect of humankind is truly unprecedented. The mankind experienced the variety of catastrophe since last few centuries, however, this deadly epidemic is extremely unique. This is not restricted to a particular geographical periphery, more importantly, it is not ethnicity dependent. If we could revert back, the last global epidemic of such proportion that is Spanish Flu (1918 H1N1 influenza pandemic) had plenty of similarities with the ongoing disaster in terms of the prevalence across the globe, epidemiology and associated attributes. Scientific fraternity across the world is trying the heart out to depict the origin of this deadly disaster but to say the least, there has been more argument than settlement. However, the most crucial part that coincidentally blends both the epidemics in a perfect order is the infodemic that without a shadow of doubt is the most staggering obstacle to deal with. In this paper a comprehensive effort has been put forward to illustrate the comparative analysis between the global pandemics of two respective genre. At the same time, the best possible lay outs have been also discussed to overhaul the ongoing crisis.

Структурные преобразования наночастиц Ni-=SUB=-1-x-=/SUB=-Cu-=SUB=-x-=/SUB=-Fe-=SUB=-2-=/SUB=-O-=SUB=-4-=/SUB=- в зависимости от количества ионов Сu

Changes in the structure and properties of magnetic nanoparticles of spinel ferrites Ni1 - xCuxFe2O4 depending of the concentration of Cu ions (0 x 1.0) were studied using Mössbauer spectroscopy. It was found that with an increase in the concentration of Cu ions, the structure of nanoparticles changes from the structure reverse spinel (NiFe2O4) to mixed spinel (CuFe2O4). It is shown that the hydrothermal method synthesis allows one to obtain single-phase nanosized particles with a very narrow distribution in size and perfect magnetic ordering, promising for biomedical applications. A relationship is established between the distribution of cations over the sublattices, the value of the inversion parameter and concentration of Cu ions.

Perfect order fulfillment in construction supply chain performance

The problem of construction supply chains is the fragmentation of unsustainable projects such as manufacturing. Therefore it is necessary to have supply chain performance indicator standards related to the procurement of materials that can be used as a reference for the performance of a project or contractor. The purpose of this study is to measure the performance of the construction supply chain with the perfect order fulfillment (POF) indicator adopted from the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) 12.0. The adoption stage starts from the definition in construction to the calculation of indicators in the project. The results showed that suppliers of steel and ready mix concrete at close range from the project had better performance. In the case study, the perfect order fulfillment performance of steel suppliers with a distance of 345 km is worth 89.476% while suppliers with a distance of 540 km are worth 87.535%. The supplier of ready mix concrete within 7.3 km is worth 95.355% and the supplier with a distance of 15.7 km is 91.705%.

Pochwała populizmu. Esej polemiczny

The author supports the claim that attempts to formulate a universal definition of the term “populism” are not worthwhile, because the sense of the term is usually determined by a specific social context. Understanding the utopian nature of populism provides a better understanding of the utopian nature of democracy and allows for a humble departure from dreams of a perfect social order, because, as has been shown in numerous survey studies, the contemporary shift of social mood, attitudes, and opinions toward some version of populism is a relatively simple consequence of the deficiencies of democracy in its neoliberal version.

The aim of this research is to observe and measure the performance of the supply chain implemented by PT. Eastern Pearl Flour Mills in Makassar. The research was conducted by using the Supply Chain Operation Reference (SCOR) Method. There are five components, reliability, responsiveness, flexibility, costs, and assets, being assessed and tested as to whether it is aligning and appropriate as the best way in achieving the business’s objectives. It is found that both Supply Chain Management Cost (SCMC) and Cost of Averages Sold (COGS) were in high level of performance (excellent positions) with a gap value ​​of 20% and 12% respectively. Meanwhile, Perfect Order Fulfillment (POF), Order Fulfillment Cycle Time (OFCT) and Cash to Cash Cycle Time (CTCCT) are only at a moderate level by indicating result (gap value) around 6%, 15%, and 10% respectively. It is, however, Return on Supply Chain Fixed Asset (ROFA) and Return on Working Capital (ROWC) are still in the average position with a gap value of 8%. It can be concluded that all supply chain components have been managed properly.

Unraveling the thermodynamic criteria for size-dependent spontaneous phase separation in soft porous crystals

Soft porous crystals (SPCs) harbor a great potential as functional nanoporous materials owing to their stimuli-induced and tuneable morphing between different crystalline phases. These large-amplitude phase transitions are often assumed to occur cooperatively throughout the whole material, which thereby retains its perfect crystalline order. Here, we disprove this paradigm through mesoscale first-principles based molecular dynamics simulations, demonstrating that morphological transitions do induce spatial disorder under the form of interfacial defects and give rise to yet unidentified phase coexistence within a given sample. We hypothesize that this phase coexistence can be stabilized by carefully tuning the experimental control variables through, e.g., temperature or pressure quenching. The observed spatial disorder helps to rationalize yet elusive phenomena in SPCs, such as the impact of crystal downsizing on their flexible nature, thereby identifying the crystal size as a crucial design parameter for stimuli-responsive devices based on SPC nanoparticles and thin films.

Forced to line up for perfect order.

Physical confinement and magnetic fields are used to align organic molecules that self-assemble into large-size single crystals with perfect positional order.

Я. П. Полонский как предшественник русского символизма: поэтика лирического цикла ("Сны" Полонского и "Жизнь моего приятеля" Блока)

Творческое наследие Я. П. Полонского мировоззренчески и чертами поэтики предшествовало русскому модернизму в целом и символизму в частности. В. С. Соловьев обосновывал эту общность романтической направленностью личности поэта и ее устремленностью к идеалу. Полонский предварил русский символизм тем, что, утверждал идеальное начало в формах действительной жизни. Органичность его творчества программе младших символистов состояла в абсолютном доверии художественному образу как «символу религиозной реальности» (А. А. Асоян). В лирических циклах Полонского и Блока показана драматическая разобщенность сообщества людей, утративших духовные смыслы бытия. Следствием этой утраты становится страдание и смерть (мотив Возмездия). Наиболее напряженным моментом в развитии лирического сюжета у Полонского является одиночество героя в абсолютной темноте и пустоте безжизненного мистериального пространства. У Блока одиночество героя показано в антитезе неподвижного «отменного порядка» обыденности стихийному движению порожденных сном воспоминаний, предчувствий, мыслей. Сны Полонского завершаются мотивом Преображения через обретение тайной книги. Цикл Блока – утверждением посмертного страдания богоотступника. Сюжетно-мотивный анализ двух циклов позволяет установить их родственность на уровне символического функционирования мотивного комплекса апокалиптического сюжета.
