Published: October 2023

This article explored the mediation the effect of childcare center teacher’s ego-resiliency on the relationship between director’s transformational leadership and teacher self-efficacy for teacher-young child relationships. The subjects were 255 childcare centers teachers. Questionnaires, which required self-report by the childcare centers teachers, were used to investigate director’s transformational leadership, childcare center teacher’s ego-resiliency and teacher self-efficacy for teacher-young child relationships. Analyses were conducted by Pearson Correlation, SEM(Structural Equation Modeling), Bootstrapping, Sobel Test, using of AMOS 10.0, and SPSS 21.0.
There are three main findings. First, Structural Equation Modeling(SEM) revealed that the director's transformational leadership influenced on the childcare center teacher’s ego-resiliency. Second, the childcare center teacher’s ego-resiliency influenced on the teacher self-efficacy for teacher-young child relationships. Third, the director's transformational leadership influenced indirectly on the teacher self-efficacy for teacher-young child relationships by the teacher’s ego-resiliency, but not directly.
This study is important in that it identified the relationships between director’s transformational leadership, teacher’s ego-resiliency, and teacher self-efficacy for teacher-young child relationships. The findings can be utilized to enhance teachers' self-efficacy in building relationships with young children via improving their ego-resiliency.

Published: October 2023

An escalator is a passenger transportation system in which passengers have direct contact with the machine’s moving powered sections and travel by standing on the moving steps. They are known to be in shopping malls, office buildings, and public transport hubs. The news of the escalator mishap has been reported in the news every year. Human behavior is the leading cause of escalator accidents, with 90% of the victims being young children. This project aims to raise awareness among the public, especially children, regarding escalator safety awareness. This project creates a 2D game that implements a Game-Based Learning (GBL) model for the framework. This project also uses a System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire to check the game’s usability. Based on the evaluation, the game got a high SUS score of 85.3. According to the SUS score, the score is classified as grade A with an excellent adjective rating. Thus, the game-based learning approach to safety education has great potential for escalator safety.

Online learning and blended learning have become a practice in many universities for modes of learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, students’ online learning self-efficacy and online self-regulated learning are necessary to be explored. This quantitative study included a sample of 442 university students enrolled in management science, social sciences and humanities, and science and technology disciplines of study. Six online learning self-efficacy (self-efficacy in computer/internet, self-efficacy in online learning environment, self-efficacy in time management, self-efficacy in interacting with lecturers in online courses, self-efficacy to interact socially with classmates, and self-efficacy to interact academically with classmates) and six online self-regulated learning (goal setting, environment structuring, task strategies, time management, help-seeking, and self-evaluation) dimensions were studied. The study found students exhibit high levels of online learning self-efficacy and online self-regulated learning. No gender differences were found in both online learning self-efficacy and online self-regulated learning. Younger students (20 years old and below), students in lower semesters (semester 1 or 2), and students with good to very good internet connectivity in their places of stay for online learning exhibited higher in both online learning self-efficacy and online self-regulated learning. Non-graduating students had higher self-efficacy to interact with lecturers and to interact socially and academically with classmates than graduating students. Students in management science social science and humanities courses exhibited higher online self-regulated learning but not online learning self-efficacy.

Published: October 2023

Increasing the performance of heat exchangers is one of the main objectives
of researchers and engineers in the industry. In this paper an experimental
work is carried out aiming at modeling the efficiency of shell and tube heat
exchanger under the influence of the most contributing factors on
performance as fouling resistance, the inlet temperatures and the flow rate
of the fluids. An experimental design method of type 31.24 was used for the
studies, requiring 48 tests with three repeats. The following factors are
taken into account: the inlet temperature and flow rate of crude oil fluid
and TEG fluid on two levels, and the fouling resistance on three levels.
Regression analysis was produced a mathematical model for the efficiency
based on the influential variables. The response surface and contour plots
were allowed the selected from the optimum and predicted the behaviors of
parameters. The effectiveness decreases considerably with the increase in
fouling resistance and the decrease of inlet temperatures and flow rates.

Published: October 2023

The elevated levels of pesticides and their residues occur in the environment
lately due to increased usage of different agrochemicals. These pesticide
residuals enter the human body through water and food. Nowadays different
statistics and artificial intelligence tools are employed in order to solve
different problems in agricultural science. Artificial neural networks
(ANNs) have shown up as a convenient tool in establishing the non-linear
mathematical relationships. The ecotoxicity of studied s-triazine pesticides
was expressed as acute algae toxicity (AAT) and modeled by the ANN approach.
Prior to applying feed forward multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network
with Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) learning algorithm. The ANN
modeling resulted in two networks with the best statistical performance. An
excellent correlation was obtained between experimentally observed data and
acute algae toxicity predicted data with correlation coefficient higher than
0.9342. Additionally, global sensitivity analysis (GSA) was conducted in
order to estimate the influence of all molecular descriptors in the input
layer on the networks performance.

Published: October 2023

Raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) is a plant from the rose family and the most
important berry-type fruit in our country. The most significant sorts of
raspberries grown in Serbia are the red sorts, namely Willamette, Meeker,
Gradina, Malling exploit and Skina. Raspberry fruit may be used either fresh
or as a raw material in food industry, for the production of fruit juice,
nectar, syrup, concentrate, dried and frozen fruit. The goal of this paper
is to determine pH, titratable acidity (as citric acid), soluble solids,
concentration of anthocyanins, vitamin C and total polyphenols, and to
perform sensory analysis and microbiological quality control in both fresh
and frozen fruit. pH value was measured with pH-meter. The concentration of
acids was determined by the volumetric method, by titration with NaOH. The
dry matter was measured by a refractometer. The concentration of
anthocyanins was determined by the spectrophotometry method. The
concentration of vitamin C was determined using the volumetric method. The
concentration of polyphenol compounds was determined according to the
Singleton method. The microbiological methods of detection and counting
microorganisms were performed according to ISO standards. The results of
this study have shown that both fresh and frozen raspberries are a good
source of anthocyanins, indicating that their consumption is favorable for
human health and that they may be useful in the production of functional
food. The microbiological analyses have shown the absence of L.
monocytogenes and Salmonella spp., while the concentration of
Enterobacteriaceae and E. coli was below 10 cfu/g in both fresh and frozen
raspberry fruit.
Defining a protocol for evaluation of indoor air quality in school buildings
Authors: Lukic Nevena , Radivojevic Ana
Published: October 2023

Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) is a significant issue in the process of designing new buildings, but also during the evaluation of the existing building stock. The parameter that is the dominant indicator of achieving an adequate level of IEQ is Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Since children spend most of their time in schools achieving an adequate level of the indoor environment is especially important. Inadequate IEQ can cause serious consequences on their health and well-being. Current research and practice show that there is a lack of a uniform protocol for the evaluation of IAQ in buildings. Consequently, different research methodologies provide inconsistent results and prevent real insight into the state of IAQ in buildings. This paper aims to define the indoor air quality evaluation protocol that will allow uniform and wholesome insight into the current state of the indoor environment in a school building in Serbia. The protocol will be defined through steps and parameters that should be considered in order to get a complete insight into IAQ in buildings. Implementation of the protocol should provide recommendations for the treatment of school buildings both during energy renovation as well as future design.

Published: October 2023

The purpose of the article is to analyze the constitutional and sectoral aspects of the realization of the right to free legal aid, to determine the optimal subject of administration of the system of free secondary legal aid in Ukraine.Research methods. The methodological basis of this work is a complex of general scientific and special methods and techniques of scientific knowledge, in particular, dialectical, system-structural, formal-logical, statistical method, as well as methods of modeling, analysis and synthesis, etc.Results and conclusions. According to art. 59 of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine «On free legal aid», procedural codes and by-laws, an extensive system of free legal aid has been created in Ukraine, including the provision of free primary and secondary legal aid.Despite the harsh conditions of a full-scale war, the free legal aid system has demonstrated institutional stability and an intention to develop and strengthen its human resources. The advocate’s corpus is an advanced vanguard and the basis of the FLA system, which is able to solve difficult professional and ethical issues that arose in connection with the russian military invasion. The realization of the management (administration) function of the FSLA system should be carried out by the Coordination center for legal aid provision. The transfer of this function to the bodies of the Ukrainian national bar association is not justified and carries the risks of reducing the clarity of the distribution of assignments for the provision of FSLA between advocates and payment for their services from the state budget.Many ukrainian advocates have changed ethical approaches to protect those suspected of committing crimes related to facilitating russian military aggression. The main reasons were patriotic beliefs, risks of human condemnation, identification of advocate and client, reputational and moral factors.To increase trust and transparency in the work of the FSLA system, it is advisable to stage the introduction of automated distribution of assignments among advocates based on certain criteria.
On the constitutional regulation of the accession clause of Hungary to the European Union
Authors: Petrétei József , Petrétei Kristóf
Published: October 2023

The accession of Hungary to the European Union brought unprecedented challenges from the viewpoint of constitutional law. The level of regulation and the possible content of the Europe clause gave rise to interesting debates. This article aims to shed light on the constitutional legal background of the accession of Hungary to the European Union, as well as the actual steps that were necessary to make the accession happen in accordance with the stipulations of the Constitution at the time. The emergence of the necessity of the accession clause, as well as the necessary constitutional amendment are described. One of the most crucial issues at the accession was the question of delegation of powers. In order for Hungary to take part in European integration, it was essential to give constitutional authorisation for the partial delegation of powers that are strongly associated with state sovereignty, and for the joint exercise thereof with other member states and institutions of the European Union. The article analyses and dogmatically evaluates the Europe Article of the current Fundamental Law of Hungary. This is done by way of a sentence-by-sentence interpretation of Article E) Paragraph (2) of the Fundamental Law. Due to the abstract nature of constitutional stipulations, the importance of the interpretations of the Constitutional Court is unquestionable. Relevant Constitutional Court decisions are also examined throughout. The article confirms the necessity of the integration of the Europe clause into the constitution, in order to ensure that the accession to the European Union and the application of EU law in Hungary conform with constitutional legal regulations, as well as to have normative authorisation for the delegation of powers.
Decentralization as the main component of local self-government reform
Authors: Baltsii Yurii
Published: October 2023

The purpose of the article is to study the reform of local self-government, the main component of which is decentralization. At the same time, the main goal of the reform of local self-government, in our opinion, is timely, effective, independent provision of its effective activity, first of all, to solve issues of local importance at one’s own expense, which will further lead to the full mobilization of all internal reserves and the endowment of all territorial communities with large resources.During the research, general scientific methods were used, in particular: historical, logical, systematic. The historical method was used when considering the objective process of development of the concept of decentralization with all its twists and turns. The logical method was used to reflect the historical process of the concept of decentralization in a theoretical and abstract form. The system method made it possible to consider decentralization in the form of an extremely complex socio-political system. It is through the systematic approach that an opportunity is created to comprehensively assess the current state of decentralization, its significant resource and intellectual potential, opportunities for the establishment and development of a democratic legal state.The very concept of «decentralization» is defined, which is generally interpreted as the transfer of powers from state authorities to local self-government bodies.In foreign countries, decentralization is considered as a kind of process of transferring power and corresponding financial resources from the central to lower levels of government, such as provinces, regions, districts and municipalities. The main types of decentralization are analyzed and defined: political, administrative and fiscal, as well as the main forms of decentralization: devolution, delegation and deconcentration.Recently, in the state and society, there is a need to develop new approaches to the system analysis, composition and content of the category of «decentralization», which is traditionally defined as a kind of process in which relevant independent units are formed in a centralized state, which are the bearers of public self-governing power (Local Government). At the same time, an urgent necessary condition for the stable and sustainable development of civil society and a democratic legal state is the effective provision of an effective balance not only of national and local interests, but also the appropriate coordination and cooperation of these interests at various levels of public authority.We believe that the continuation of the most effective reform of local self-government, the main component of which is decentralization, will contribute to strengthening the capacity of not only local executive bodies, but first of all, local self-government bodies, which by their nature are the primary institution of direct people’s power.

Published: October 2023

The provision of a reliable water-supply system is essential for the development and well-being of urban communities. Samdrupjongkhar Thromde, located in Bhutan, has been facing water supply challenges despite the presence of a water treatment plant. The non-perennial nature of the current water source coupled with malfunctions in water pumps has led to acute water shortages in the municipality. To address this issue, this study carried out a feasibility investigation and designed a gravity water supply system by conducting an EPANET (Environment Protection Agency Network Evaluation Tool) analysis. The study involved field visits to identify potential water sources, and a topo-graphic survey using RTK (Real Time Kinematics) technology to determine the optimal pipeline route. The EPANET analysis was then conducted to evaluate the hydraulic performance of the initial route. Based on these findings, a final water pipeline route was selected considering factors such as terrain characteristics, construction feasibility, avoidance of negative water pressure, and minimum encroachment of private land. The results showed that the maximum pressure head within the pipeline system reached 296 m with a maximum water flow velocity of 5 m/s. However, at the outlet, the pressure head decreased to 70 m and the velocity decreased to 2 m/s. Two Break Pressure Tanks (BPT) were strategically placed to achieve this pressure reduction. The chosen pipe materials and their placement ensure the long-term reliability and functionality of the water supply system, while considering maintenance convenience and terrain characteristics.

News clustering aims to identify each news group that is formed from the implementation of the K-Means method which is based on the word weighting process using the TF-IDF (Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency) Algorithm. The clustering process uses news crawled from the detik.com site for a period of one year (2018), totaling 124,509 news stories and stored in the form of a CSV (Comma Seperated Value) file. Before carrying out the clustering process, the previous dataset must go through a text-processing stage in the form of: case folding, tokenizing, stopword removal, and stemming. The TF-IDF and K-Means methods are used for the clustering process. The TF-IDF method assigns weights to each keyword in each category to find the similarity of keywords to the available categories, then continues with the K-Means Method for the grouping process based on similar characteristics / similarities between documents. In the process, there are two implementations of the K-Means method, each using 16 centroids and 12 centroids. This is because in the first process, there are groups / clusters that cannot be identified because they contain common words, so a second implementation is needed. Based on the results of testing on 124,509 news stories, there are 27 news groups that have been successfully identified with adequate application capabilities in processing large data.

Wenn die Natur zum Gegenstand der Technik wird, wie verändert das die Bedeutung der Begriffe Natur und Technik? Ist ein vergegenständlichender Herrschaftsdiskurs noch angemessen, wo Technik auf die Natur des Menschen selbst zugreift? Schon in der technischen Vereinnahmung nicht-menschlicher Natur gerät er ja ins Wanken. Doch vielleicht bietet die «künstliche», verstanden als «künstlerische», Herstellung von Lebendigem auch die Chance, die in der Moderne als totes Material konzipierte organische Materie zum organischen Bio-Kunstwerk, d. h. zu etwas Lebendigem, zu «machen». Dadurch wird das Natürlich-Lebendige, das technische Manipulation erfahren hat, zum Ort des Erscheinens der Physis, und die Technik zum Ort des Umschlagens von Verfügbarkeit in Unverfügbarkeit.

Documentary Note: The Relationship between ICARA II and Refugee Aid and Development
Authors: Clark D. Lance , Stein Barry N.
Published: October 2023

Over the past five years there have been two separate sets of meetings dealing with assistance to refugees in develop- ing countries. One was a series of meet- ings on Refugee Aid and Development convened by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the other set of meetings was the two International Conferences on as- sistance to Refugees in Africa (ICARAI and ICARA II) convened by the United Nations (UN). In 1984 these separate tracks of meetings have converged re- sulting in a new international consen- sus on principles for refugee assistance in developing countries. These new principles were necessitated by funda- mental changes in developing country refugee problems which meant that the traditional approaches to refugee assis- tance no longer seemed adequate to deal with the problems.

Pandemi Covid-19 melanda dunia sejak bulan Februari 2020, memunculkan krisis kesehatan dan berbagai kebijakan pengendalian penyebaran pandemi, yang menyebabkan perlambatan pada berbagai sector, dan berujung pada PHK. Situasi ini menyebabkan daya beli menurun, dan berdampak pada turunnya pendapatan masyarakat. Khususnya terhadap UMKM di pasar tradisional, kondisi ini berdampak pada turunnya omset penjualan pedagang rata-rata 40% (Gorgeu, R.; Ibrahim, AM; Antara, et.al.; Dinda, W., 2020). Selain itu, Saadatuddaraen (2021), memberikan bukti, bahwa, adanya PHK di kota Tangerang Selatan, menyebabkan bertambahnya jumlah pengangguran menjadi 84.000 orang dari total 1.7 juta penduduk. Berdasarkan fakta ini, FEB Usakti, bermaksud menyelanggarakan kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM), bertujuan untuk membantu mencari solusi berbagai permasalahan UMKM dimasa Pandemic Covid-19. Kegiatan ini adalah untuk memberikan pemberdayaan terhadap UMKM, dalam legalisasi usaha, permodalan usaha dan digitalisasi usaha. Permodalan Usaha terkait dengan pemulihan usaha karena UMKM bangkrut, yang salah satu syaratnya adalah Legalisasi Usaha. Sedangkan digitalisasi usaha terkait dengan aktvitas usaha (keuangan maupun pemasaran) secara online. 
Kegiatan PkM ini bermitra dan berkolaborasi dengan beberapa Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat, yaitu Wiranesia Foundation, menaungi komunitas UMKM, tersebar diseluruh kabupaten/kota propinsi di Indonesia; FACTA (Forum Anak Cileduk Tangerang), menaungi komunitas UMKM di Cileduk - Tangerang Kota dan komunitas UMKM di pasar Tradisional Ceger, Tangerang Selatan.  Kegiatan ini dilakukan secara daring melalui Webinar, dengan metode pelatihan, penyuluhan dan pendampingan manajemen. Hasil kegiatan PkM, menemukan beberapa fakta seperti: kebutuhan UMKM atas pengembangan kualitas teknologi digital SDM, untuk pemasaran produk dan atau transaksi dengan perbankan dalam hal pembiayaan inclusive secara online; pentingnya legalisasi usaha dan sejauh mana tanggapan dan antusiasme UMKM memperoleh bimbingan dan  pembinaan usahanya. Beberapa implikasi kegiatan ini, adalah dalam rangka menjadikan  pelaksanaan PkM FEB Usakti lebih berkualitas, effektif, effisien dan tercapainya tujuan PkM itu sendiri.

Drilling mud is a type of fluid that can help smoothing a drilling. The function of the drilling mud in the drilling process is to lift the drilling cutting. In this laboratory research, corn starch was used as a substitute for starch to reduce filtration loss. Corn starch is made by cleaning, drying, grinding, and sieving. The purpose of this research is to make mud with the addition of corn starch. its effect on filtration loss and mud cake at two temperature conditions. In this study the use of corn starch to be mixed into the mud with concentrations of 3 grams, 5 grams, 7 grams, 9 grams, and 11 grams. Accordingly, it can be seen which mud composition complies with the standard drilling mud specifications. Laboratory test results showed that the addition of corn starch additives caused a decrease in filtration loss for each difference in concentration and temperature. With the addition of 11 grams of corn starch, filtration loss decreased from 6.2 ml to 4.4 ml at 80°F, and it decreased from 5.2 ml to 3.9 ml at 200°F. In addition, corn starch additives cause the thickness of the mud cake formed to decrease. At a temperature of 80 oF the thickness of the mud cake decreased from 0.76 mm to 0.46 mm, while at a temperature of 200 oF it decreased from 0.62 to 0.42 mm. Based on the research results, corn starch additives and temperature influence changes in filtration loss and mud cake.

How Reshoring Has Shaped the Impact of COVID-19 on Spanish Footwear Firms

Authors: Martinez-Mora Carmen , Merino Fernando
Published: October 2023

COVID-19 has caused major disruption to the operations of firms in terms of both their supply chains and their demand. This paper studies how the configuration of the supply chains, resulting from previous offshoring and reshoring decisions, has affected the responsiveness and resilience of firms in this situation. The analysis is applied to the Spanish footwear sector and allows us to develop possible future scenarios in which the reconfiguration of value chains and the use of advanced technologies play an essential role. To do this, we use the “scenario planning methodology” combined with analytical models for the offshoring question. We conclude that the reshoring process motivated by the 2008 crisis has been fundamental for strengthening the resilience of firms to the COVID-19 crisis, as has the incorporation of new technologies.
Posicionamiento empresarial sobre la sostenibilidad ambiental, social y económica (ASG). El caso español en 2023.
Authors: Plaza Llorente Jesús Manuel
Published: October 2023

Las implicaciones regulatorias de la Unión Europea (UE) sobre Sostenibilidad Ambiental, Social y de Gobernanza (ASG) está configurando el perfil empresarial y su posicionamiento en relación con los stakeholders. La investigación de cómo está teniendo lugar este fenómeno en España en 2023 es el objetivo de este artículo. La muestra de empresas analizada representa, por su volumen de facturación, el equivalente a las dos terceras partes del PIB.

Algunos de los resultados obtenidos muestran que las empresas se alinean con las regulaciones ASG comunitarias con una probabilidad del 48%. Para las variables que caracterizan el posicionamiento ASG de las empresas, dicha probabilidad es del 51%. La reducción de las emisiones de gases con efecto invernadero (EGEI) en la cadena de valor focaliza en un 62% la imagen de la empresa o de la marca como sostenible.

Las conclusiones obtenidas señalan como posibles áreas de mejora: vincular la propuesta de valor empresarial a los bienes y servicios que se definen como sostenibles, identificar y gestionar mejor los riesgos de la no sostenibilidad, establecer incentivos vinculados al cumplimiento de objetivos de sostenibilidad y reconfigurar la gestión comercial en la empresa que se posicione como sostenible ASG a través del el mix operativo, la escucha al cliente y la segmentación del mercado.

El contenido de este trabajo podría servir a las empresas para perfilar estrategias comerciales, a partir del hecho de que el atributo ambientalista se muestra relevante en los escenarios de compra de clientes y consumidores.
