Pursuing Uniqueness: Unpacking the Social Identity of Young Urban Migrants through Coffee Culture by Agung Dharma Yuda Adi Ramadhan, Dien Vidia Rosa, Hery Prasetyo

“…Then, consumers and those who formulate the existence of cafés are faced with the need to create uniqueness or innovate to multiply profits. Instead of enjoying leisure, young urban migrants are absorbed and actively reproduce the existence of socially and virtually organized social systems.…”

Enhancing Photocatalytic Performance through Tuning the Interfacial Process between -Assembled and Pt-Loaded Microspheres by Jun Zhang, Liping Li, Guangshe Li

“…Systematic sample characterizations and structural analysis indicate that Pt loading did not produce any significant influences on the lattice structure of TiO2-assembled microspheres. Instead, upon Pt loading, Schottky barrier was formed in the interfaces between microspheres and Pt nanoparticles, which inhabited efficiently the recombination of photo-generated electron-hole pairs essential for the photocatalytic activities. …”

Gender Communication and Leadership: A Qualitative Research in Managerial Level by Gonca Yıldırım, Müge Öztunç

“…The study employed qualitative analysis based on semi-structured questions to interpret how femaleand male executives evaluate each other. Instead of coding only important concepts, a grounded codingprocess that involved full interviews was permitted to acquire a deeper understanding was applied. …”

Convergence Study of Variational Space-Time Coupled Least-Squares Frameworks in Simulation of Wave Propagation in Viscoelastic Medium by M. A. Saffarian, A. R. Ahmadi, M. H. Bagheripour

“…In a recent investigation into accuracy of this formulation in simulating elastic wave propagation, it was shown that the diffusive and dispersive errors are greatly reduced when space-time coupled least squares formulation is used instead in variational form. This paper investigates convergence characteristics of both formulations. …”

A New Jammer Suppression Method in MIMO Radar Using Matrix Pencil Method and Generalized Likelihood Ratio Test by Kang-in Lee, Wonjune Kang, Young-Seek Chung, Hoon-Gee Yang, Jong Mann Kim

“…Then, in order to suppress the jammers, we apply the GLRT to the extracted DOAs instead of to the entire visible region. By applying the MPM again to the received signals in which the jammer signals are suppressed, we can estimate the DOAs of the SOI. …”

Actual Problems of Economics Teaching in Higher School by S. V. Stepanova

“…These include: the lack of uniform requirements for the initial knowledge of applicants; heterogeneity of the quality of the student audience by the level of initial knowledge; the inability of professional standards to orient universities to the formation of popular educational programs; the predominance of mathematical disciplines in the curricula, while reducing the list and volume of disciplines that form the worldview; unjustified shift of emphasis towards financial disciplines, formation of calculation skills instead of obtaining fundamental economic knowledge. …”
