INCOME BUDGETS EVALUATION OF SELECTED COMMUNES OF POMORSKIE VOIVODSHIP IN POLAND FROM THE TAX ON MEANS OF TRANSPORT
Authors: Szydłowski Cezary
Published: August 2020

Local government in Poland at the commune level has various sources of own income, one of them being the tax on means of transport. The need for communes to carry out many tasks requires ensuring income to the local budget at a sufficiently high level. The risk of a decrease in income to the budgets of communes caused by the worsening of the economic situation as a result of an epidemic makes it necessary to assess the sources of communes’ income. An audit, which evaluates selected areas of activity of a given organization, is a useful tool. The main objective of the research for the purposes of this publication was to assess the level of income to the budget of selected municipalities from the tax on means of transport and its share in the total income of municipalities. In addition, changes in the level of income to the budgets of the surveyed municipalities in 2016-2019 were verified. Moreover, the article presents the essence and importance of audit in the assessment of revenue to the municipal budget. The article uses a case study, an analytical method, an application method, a method of examining source documents and a literature review as the research methods. The analysis of budget revenues of selected communes of Pomorskie Voivodship in Poland showed that the tax on means of transport constitutes a small percentage share in total budget revenues (below 1% of total budget revenues). In addition, a significant decrease in revenues from this tax to the budgets of 11 surveyed municipalities was observed in the surveyed period 2016-2019. The analysis also revealed fluctuations in the municipalities’ revenues from the tax on means of transport, which make it difficult to forecast revenues. It should also be noted that municipalities apply certain discounts and preferences when setting the amount of the tax on means of transport, which also reduce the revenue of the municipality. The assessment of revenues to municipalities’ budgets from the tax on means of transport indicates that further analyses of revenues from individual local taxes and charges should be carried out in order to identify potential risks and threats to the financial economy of municipalities in Poland.

Published: August 2020

A reduction of the tax burden on corporate income in order to stimulate drivers of economic development has become the important issue of tax reform in many countries in recent decades. Tax competition forces national governments to take well-balanced solution on increasing outward and domestic investments as well as ensuring the fiscal capacity of the budget to cope with urgent socio-economic problems under enhancing fiscal risks. The purpose of the article is to assess the impact of tax reforms, addressing reducing the corporate income tax burden, on the fiscal space and investment processes in the EU countries and Ukraine, to establish directions of improvement of the tax system in Ukraine and other transition economies in order to spur the expansion of fiscal space. The research subject covers tax policy settings that shape fiscal space development. Research methodology. In accordance with the purpose of the article, the research methods are set as follows: abstract-logical; systemic analysis; analysis and synthesis; graphical method. Findings. By summing up theoretical ideas on the issue of feasibility of cutting corporate income tax, we have arrived at the conclusion that this measure has a significant impact on the improvement of tax competitiveness of the national economy. The gain from its application is confirmed by the best practices of many European countries. The results of the tax reform in Ukraine have proved that a traditional approach to the choice of tax issues – in contrast with developed economies – do not comply with theoretical provisions on increasing the competitiveness of the national economy and fostering investments. This is conditional on the specific tax effects in Ukraine due to the restriction of the key economic freedoms (investment, financial, property rights protection and judicial effectiveness) needed for successful entrepreneurship, as well as of a high rate of corruption, which increases the costs of business activity. Such effects include, in particular, a drop of tax revenues in the short and long term while reducing the level of corporate income taxation; a high level of tax evasion, capital outflow instead of expanding investment in the national economy. It is argued that the emphasis while carrying out tax reforms and expanding fiscal space in transition economies considering the specific effects of changing corporate income tax provisions, should be made on ensuring the long-term sustainability of public finances through measures of budget adjustments aimed at avoidance shifting the existing fiscal problems on future generations; harmonization of national tax legislation with the EU regulations and prevention of tax evasion; increasing the financial capacity of enterprises by introducing targeted innovation tax incentives, which will gain higher competitiveness of the country in the world markets and as a result facilitate the growth of the country’s future revenue receipts.

Misi Kristen ditengah Radikalisme Agama di Indonesia
Authors: Yusup
Published: August 2020

Tulisan ini membahas mengenai tugas panggilan misi Kristen di tengah konteks masyarakat radikal dalam beragama. Sejak masa reformasi, radikalisme agama di Indonesia menunjukkan peningkatan yang signifikan yang ditandai oleh tingginya tindakan intoleransi terhadap minoritas. Meningkatnya radikalisme agama di Indonesia salah satunya disebabkan oleh importisasi ideologi Islam dari timur tengah. Fenomena tersebut tentunya menjadi ancaman bagi kehidupan beragama di Indonesia sekaligus menjadi tantangan bagi agama-agama termasuk agama Kristen untuk meresponinya. Oleh karena itu, tulisan ini bermaksud memberikan pandangan mengenai bagaimana orang Kristen meresponi konteks yang demikian. Penulis berpendapat bahwa perlu perlu adanya paradigma misi Kristen yang di satu sisi tidak menghilangkan esensi dari misi itu sendiri yaitu pekabaran Injil, dan di sisi lain berusaha menjawab tantangan yang didasari oleh pesan Injil itu sendiri.
The CogMedia Project: Open Data and Tools for Linking Cognitive Science and Mass Media
Authors: Dale Rick
Published: August 2020

Minds produce and consume news media. Because of this central relevance of minds, theories of mass media may be informed by the methods and measures of cognitive science. These measures could enhance understanding of the factors guiding news consumption habits. These measures could also help to explain how news themes accumulate collective attention. CogMedia is introduced here as an open resource for facilitating a connection between mind and mass communication. It contains hundreds of thousands of major headlines from large news media organizations, primarily in the United States. In addition, it has a set of open analysis tools for conducting quantitative analysis in R. This paper motivates CogMedia with background theoretical and empirical review. Theoretical discussion centers on complexity science as a framework for understanding mass-scale systems and the cognitive agents that underlie them. Following this background review and motivation, the paper introduces CogMedia, and illustrates potential quantitative analysis and data visualization using these open tools. Future empirical work is discussed, along with relevant theoretical implications.
The MeloSol Corpus
Authors: Baker David John
Published: August 2020

This data report introduces the MeloSol corpus, a collection of 783 Western, tonal monophonic melodies. I first begin by describing the overall structure of the corpus, then proceed to detail its contents as they would be helpful for researchers working in the field of computational musicology or music psychology. In order to contextualize the MeloSol corpus in relation to other corpora in the literature, I present descriptive statistics of the MeloSol corpus alongside the The Densmore Collection of Native American Song and The Essen Folk Song Collection. I suggest possible future uses of this corpus including extending research investigating Western tonality, perceptual experiments needing novel ecological stimuli, or work involving the musical generation of monophonic melodies in the style of Western tonal music.
Trajectories of boredom in self-control demanding tasks
Authors: Bieleke Maik , Barton Leon , Wolff Wanja
Published: August 2020

Self-control does not always work effectively. Whether this reflects the depletion of a global self-control resource is subject to an ongoing debate. We turned to boredom as a potential confounding variable to advance this debate. In a high-powered experiment (N = 719), participants worked on a primary (transcription) tasks of varying self-control demands (low, high) and length (2, 4, 8 minutes), followed by a secondary (Stroop) task with low and high self-control demanding trials. In addition to trait boredom, we measured self-control investments (effort), self-control costs (difficulty, tiredness, frustration), and boredom after the primary task and repeatedly during the secondary task. Self-control investments and costs increased with the demand and duration of the primary task; however, without affecting performance in the secondary task. Importantly, participants rated both the primary and the secondary task as boring, and higher boredom at the state and the trait level was associated with lower self-control investments and higher self-control costs. During the secondary task, boredom increased steadily but was generally lower in more self-control demanding trials. Finally, boredom predicted performance in the secondary task. These results show an intricate relationship between self-control and boredom that research on these two constructs should carefully disentangle.
Sex Differences in the Motivation for Viewing Sexually Arousing Images
Authors: Kobayashi Maiko , Nakamura Koyo , Watanabe Katsumi
Published: August 2020

Sexual motivation strongly influences our mate choices and dating behaviors and can be triggered by merely viewing sexually arousing visual images, such as erotic pictures and movies. Previous studies suggested that men, more than women, tend to search for sexual cues that signal promiscuity in short-term mates. However, it remains to be tested whether the sex differences in the motivation to view sexual cues can be observed by using robust and well-controlled behavioral measures. To this end, we employed a pay-per-view key-pressing task. Japanese self-identified heterosexual male and female participants viewed images of men, women, or couples with two levels of sexual arousal (sexual vs. less sexual). Participants could alter the viewing time of a presented image according to their willingness to keep viewing it. The male participants were eager to view the sexual female images the most, whereas the female participants were more strongly motivated to view the less sexual images of couples. Such sex differences may reflect differentiated reproductive strategies between men and women; men’s motivation toward promiscuity and women’s motivation toward long-term relationships.
Out of the Laboratory and into the Classroom: The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Education
Authors: Schiff Daniel
Published: August 2020

[This is a post-peer-review, pre-copy edit version of an article in AI & Society. The final authenticated version is available online at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00146-020-01033-8 or https://rdcu.be/b6avX.] Like previous educational technologies, artificial intelligence in education (AIEd) threatens to disrupt the status quo, with proponents highlighting the potential for efficiency and democratization, and skeptics warning of industrialization and alienation. However, unlike frequently discussed applications of AI in autonomous vehicles, military and cybersecurity concerns, and healthcare, AI’s impacts on education policy and practice have not yet captured the public attention. This paper therefore evaluates the status of AIEd, with special attention to intelligent tutoring systems and anthropomorphized artificial educational agents. I discuss AIEd’s purported capacities, including the abilities to simulate teachers, provide robust student differentiation, and even foster socioemotional engagement. Next, in order to situate developmental pathways for AIEd going forward, I contrast sociotechnical possibilities and risks through two idealized futures. Finally, I consider a recent proposal to use peer review as a gatekeeping strategy to prevent harmful research. This proposal serves as a jumping off point for recommendations to AIEd stakeholders towards improving their engagement with socially responsible research and implementation of AI in educational systems.

The clasification of ripeness stages of oil palm fresh fruit bunches (FFBs) can be done using color parameters. These parameters are often evaluated by human vision, whose degree of accuracy is subjective which can cause doubt in judgement. Automatic clasifications offreshfruit bunches (FFBs) based on color parameters can be done using computer vision. This method is known as a nondestructive, fast and cost effective method. In this research, a MATLAB computer program has been developed which consists of RGB and HSV GUI which is used to record, display, and process FFB image data. The backpropagation artificial neural network (ANN) program is also developed which is used to classify the oil palm fruit fresh bunches (FFBs). Samples are fresh fruit bunches (FFB) of oil palm varieties of Tenera which comprise of Topaz, Marihat, and Lonsum clones. Each clone composed of three levels of ripeness represented by five fractions. The measurements were started by capturing images of oil palm, extracting RGB and HSV values, calculating weight values from the image database to make anANN program, preparing grid programs for oil palm FFBs, and comparing grading levels of oil palm FFBs using program and by harvester. This program successfully classified oil palm (FFBs) into three categories of ripeness which are unripe (F0 and F1), ripe (F1 and F1) and over ripe (F4 and F5). The RGB and HSV programs successfully classified 79 out of 216 FFBs or 36.57% and 106 out of 216 TBS or 49.07%. Respectively the HSV program is better than RGB program because the representation of HSV color space are more understood by human perception hence can be used in calibration and color comparison.

The purpose of this study was to determine the AI value on the distribution map of AI values for hydrocarbon prospect zones in Field X. In this study the data used were 3D seismic data with PSTM (Post-Stack Time Migration) type, and well data. Data processing using Hampson and Russell (HRS) software used in the mining and petroleum fields has a function for subsurface modeling below the ground surface of reservoir characterization. Well data will be linked to seismic data so that the well data will be in the actual position. The distribution of hydrocarbon prospect zones in PEV-1 well can be seen first in crossplot analysis at a depth of 1760-1798 m with AI cutoff value indicated as sandstone ranging from 8450 (m s)*(g/cc) and above, with a high correlation value 0.818 time shift 0 ms. Picking horizon is carried out to determine the target zone layer and its continuity laterally on seismic volume so that a model based can be done as an initial subsurface description below the soil surface at PEV-1 well. Then the next step is a post-stack analysis based model to find out how much the error value of the target zone prediction with certain parameters through the PEV-1 well data. So with a correlation value of 0.936429 and an error value of 0.35227 in the post-stack analysis model based, AI inversion in the PEV-1 well layer which is the target zone of the hydrocarbon prospect is indicated by the range of 8450 (m/s)*(g/cc) which is indicated as sandstone.

Mosquitoes are insects that can cause dangerous problems to human health. Therefore, mosquitoes need to be identified based on its motion so it can stay away from human. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of power and color spectrum of lamp toward mosquito speed. This research used optical method based on light beam that affected mosquitobody. This research designed a radiation system inside a glass box with thickness of 0,5 cm size (30x7x20) cm. Five mosquitoes were irradiated by light from fluorescent lamp with power 11 Watt and 26 Watt that have been filtered using red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple color plastics. The radiation process was recorded using a digital camera about 26 minutes. The recorded video was processed using Tracker program. The Tracker program analyzedthe mosquito speed based on its displacement from one to another position. The results showed that mosquito highest speed at unfiltered light, red, blue and purple colors occurred when irradiated with 26 Watt lamp while at color of orange, yellow and green occured when irradiated with 11 Watt lamp. Mosquitoes highest speed value when irradiated by orange, yellow and green are 0,632 m/s, 0,693 m/s and 0,645 m/s. Mosquitoes lowest speed value when irradiated by blue and purple light are 0,308 m/s and 0,285 m/s. The speed of the mosquitoes when irradiated by red and unfiltered lights are 0,517 m/s and 0,541 m/s respectively. The data showed that mosquitoes moved away from light source when irradiated by unfiltered lights, red, blue and purple while mosquitoes approached the light source when irradiated by orange, yellow and green light.
Choosing Technical Education and Vocational Training: A Narrative Inquiry
Authors: Maskey Sanam
Published: August 2020

Technical education and vocational training (TEVT) have been given a special place in the national development plan as well as in the educational policies of Nepal. The recent allocation of Rs. 1.38 billion by the government for the fiscal year 2019/20 for providing employment-related trainings and establishing technical schools in the country supports this claim. The government has recognized its potential in being able to alleviate poverty, improve livelihood strategies and provide employment opportunities. Adopting a narrative inquiry method, I interviewed three participants to explore the perception of youths towards this sector. The study revealed that one of the main barriers in choosing technical education and vocational training is the high value the society places upon general education in comparison to vocational education. It also revealed how we have been hegemonised by the ideologies flouted by the dominant class in society and readily give consent to these ideas. I argue that though the government has placed due emphasis on TEVT, its successful implementation can only be possible when the social perception on the divide between general education and technical and vocational education is brought to an end.
Women's Representation in Bureaucracy: Reservation Policy in Nepali Civil Service
Authors: Wagle Samjhana
Published: August 2020

This paper analyses women's representation in Nepali bureaucracy after the implementation of the reservation policy in 2007. The motivation behind the reservation was that people from marginalized and weaker section of the society should be uplifted. Moreover, representative bureaucracy refers to a bureaucracy that embodies the demographic structure of the society. Following descriptive research method, I collected data from secondary sources such as annual reports and other publications of Public Service Commission, Nepal. The amendment of Civil Service Act-1993 in 2007 with the provision of 45 per cent reservation of civil service seats for women along with indigenous community, Madhesi, Dalit, disabled people and people from backward areas has resulted in the growing number of women’s participation. The growing number of women civil servants in the recent years is expected to change the landscape of civil service in near future. Implications for public administration research and practice are discussed.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS AND CRITERIA FOR ECONOMIC SECURITY AS THE BASIS OF ITS MONITORING
Authors: Rykov V. V.
Published: August 2020

The article examines the existing international standards and criteria of economic security as a basis for its monitoring. It shows that the processes of guaranteeing economic security are urgent in the modern world and include a significant number of procedures. The vast majority of national security strategies implement economic security through radical economic reforms, integration into world security systems, accession to economic unions and organizations. The study proved that the approaches to the criteria of economic security, the use of standards that determine the level of implementation of economic security, indicates the lack of uniform approaches to the tools for monitoring key indicators of resilience to crises and risks of the economic sphere. The author concluded that macroeconomic indicators are considered as indicators that determine the achievement of economic security; indicators of socio-economic status, functional and sectoral level; indicators of international indices that reflect the economic activity of countries. Along with this, it is advisable to improve the methodology for monitoring the implementation of economic security on the basis of an integrated combination of a set of standards and criteria of economic orientation, which will form a system of effective response to economic risks and crises.
Heavy Encrustation and Stone Formation on Forgotten Double “J” Ureteral Stent: A Case Repot
Authors: Rafique Muhammad , Rafique Shoaib , Rafique Muhammad
Published: August 2020

Background: Placement of double “J” ureteral stent for various indications is common in urological
surgery. The encrustation and stone formation on forgotten DJ stents can result in significant morbidity and
its management remains a challenging task.
Case Presentation: A 51 years male presented with history of right flank pain of over 6 months duration.
He had undergone right pyelolithotomy for right renal stones 4 years ago at some other hospital. There was
no medical record available and the patient did not present himself to the surgeon for follow-up. Clinical
examination was unremarkable. His complete blood counts, random blood sugar, renal function tests were
normal. Urinalysis revealed many pus cells/hpf. At ultrasonography, there were two renal stone with
moderate hydronephrosis and a 2 cm vesical stone. An x-ray KUB, revealed a forgotten ureteric stent with
stones at its both ends. The patient underwent cystoscopy and a large stone on ureteric stent was dealt with
by litholapaxy. The stone on the proximal end of was managed by percutaneous lithotripsy and stent was
removed. The postoperative recovery was uneventful. On stone analysis, it was made of calcium oxalate
30% and ammonium urate 70%.
Conclusion: The management of encrusted stents is challenging, and each case has to be dealt with
individually depending on stone site and burden, and patient related factors. Endourological management is
the preferred option. Adequate patient counseling and proper stent documentation (stent placement,
proposed duration and removal of stent) is necessary to minimize stent related complications.

O hip-hop surge em zonas periférica das cidades. Em Angola, o grupo é constituído por jovens rejeitados, marginalizados pelo poder. Nas letras se exalta do cotidiano as diferenças sociais. Sendo assim, as letras das músicas dos cantores angolanos revelam traços característicos da variedade angolana do português. Levantando o problema da pesquisa questionou-se os traços linguísticos que caracterizam a variedade angolana do português e quais aspectos culturais que estão por detrás? A pesquisa visa compreender traços linguísticos da variedade angolana do português. A pesquisa é bibliográfica cruzada com a documental composto por dois álbuns: “Mentalidade” (2008) e “Terra a terra” (2013). Para as análises transcreveu-se para facilitar análise dos fenômenos linguísticos. Concluiu-se que Afroman revela angolanismos que denunciam traços que se inclinam à norma angolana do português. Observa-se o uso de expressões, vocabulário e construções sintáticas próprias dos angolanismos que marcam a identidade sociocultural.
Da necessidade do regresso para as raízes culturais
Authors: Takounjou Ngueho André Ferdinand
Published: August 2020

A história da África está marcada por dois eventos devastadores: a escravidão e a colonização. Da escravidão, o continente sofreu várias vítimas. O navio negreiro engoliu grande parte da juventude Africana. Muitos pais foram privados de sua progenitura. As consciências foram marcadas de forma indelével. No entanto, entre aqueles que, apesar disso, deixaram o continente e aqueles que ficaram há uma ligeira diferença. O segundo evento sujou a consciência dos africanos que ficaram. É nesta perspetiva que o duo martiniquense Césaire-Fanon fala de atropelamento cultural ou de bloqueio identitário pois o colonizado até dúvida da sua própria existência. Ele é, portanto, cortado das suas fontes e raízes culturais para sofrer um enxerto forçado. Mas a cultura imposta embora dominante, ainda não limpa por completo a cultura local. Há uma sobrevivência da autoctonia no esquema cultural em que navega o colonizado sob dominação estrangeira. O nível mais visível é o linguístico. Vai nascer um falar crioulo que é uma mistura da língua do colono com alguns vestígiosdo falar indígena. É portanto neste contexto de distorção cultural que surge a noção de regresso para as raízes culturais africanas tão celebrado pelos mentores da Negritude nomeadamente Aimé Césaire da Martinica ou Francisco José Tenreiro de São Tomé e Príncipe.

The research aimed to study seasonal dynamics of content of Nmin (ammonium and nitrate forms of nitrogen) in the soil of a young sour cherry orchard as aﬀ ected by nitrogen fertilizers. The experiment was conducted with 4-years old sour cherry trees of the ‘Turgenevka’ variety during the growing seasons of 2018 and 2019. The experimental orchard was situated at forest-steppe zone of the Central Russian Upland (Orel region) with loamy Haplic Luvisol. The treatments included: 1. Control (without fertilizers); 2. N30K40; 3. N60K80; 4. N90K120; 5. N120K160. Urea and potassium sulfate were used as fertilizers and were soil applied once a year at early spring. Soil samples were collected in soil layers from a depth of 0…20, 20…40 and 40…60 cm ﬁ ve times during the growing seasons: in May, June, July, August and September. Without fertilizers, mineral nitrogen content varied within 3.1…31.7 mg/kg during both growing seasons. The fertilizer treatments resulted in essential rise of Nmin to 4.7…147.6 and 20.3…102.5 mg/kg in 2018 and 2019 growing seasons respectively. In both 2018 and 2019 the Nmin concentration in 0…60 cm soil layer was the highest in May…June, and decreased by 1.3-5 times in July…August. The fertilization by urea in N90 and N120 doses led to at essential increase of soil nitrogen content by 1.6-5 times compared with unfertilized soil in early summer. The movement of mineral nitrogen to the deeper soil layers was observed when applying of nitrogen fertilizers at the dose of N120. The greatest productivity of 4-years old ‘Turgenevka’ sour cherry trees was observed at N120K160 treatment (5.38 and 9.33 kg/tree in 2018 and 2019 respectively), but the increase in yield compared to the control was not statistically signiﬁ cant.
Geoinformation modeling of the spatial distribution of the favourability level of climatic resources over the Sevastopol region for grape growing

Viticulture is one of the promising agricultural sectors in the Sevastopol region. In connection with this the goal of the work is a comprehensive analysis of the climatic conditions of the region for the rational distribution of vineyards. Meteorological data (air temperature and precipitation) for the period 1985-2018 and terrain parameters (slope, aspect, altitude) for the Sevastopol region were used. To assess the optimal climatic conditions, the analysis of frost risk, heat supply and water supply (average of absolute minimums of air temperature, growing degree days, Selianinov’s Hydrothermal Coeﬃ cient, Huglin and Winkler indices) was carried out. The spatial distribution of the listed agroclimatic parameters was modeled using author formulas. Using GIS technologies, maps of the spatial distribution of heat supply and agroclimatic parmeters for the region were obtained. The main part of the territory of the Sevastopol region is located in a zone with a sum of active temperatures of 3500-3900°С. The amount of precipitation during the growing season and the values of the hydrothermal coeﬃ cient indicate insuﬃ cient moisture in the region. Most of the region’s territory (72 %) has an average of absolute minimums of air temperature above –14 °C. According to the values of the Huglin index, the main part of the region is in the warm zone (2400-2700 °C), and by the values of the Winkler index – in Region 3 (1667-1944 °C). The heliothermal conditions of the Sevastopol region territory are suﬃ cient for growing grapes of diﬀ erent groups of varieties and ripening dates. Agroclimatic parameters are characterized by positive trends, which in the future can lead to changes in heat supply and the displacement of terroirs. The territory of the Sevastopol region has favourable agroclimatic conditions, which makes it possible to grow grape varieties from very early to late ripening and placing them on ﬂ at and sloping lands.

The article investigates the functional potential and linguistic features of modern hypertext based on the three most popular online services — Live Journal, Twitter, and Instagram. The relevance is due to the need for a profound study of new forms of virtual communication. Special attention is paid to their functions, extralinguistic, and linguistic means of expression, as well as the ability to customize the needs-based communication. The article provides a comparative analysis of the studied online services, defines their primary functions, identifies their similarities and differences in content, the format of information submitted, and the target audience. The paper explores the graphic and spelling, morphological, lexical, stylistic and syntactic features of Twit and Insta posts and LJ blogs. The authors conclude that the linguistic and stylistic features of the analyzed hypertexts directly depend on their functional orientation.
