ФІНАНСУВАННЯ ПРОЕКТІВ З ВІДНОВЛЮВАНОЇ ЕНЕРГЕТИКИ В УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Пудичева Г. О.
Published: December 2020

Анотація. Поточний стан розвитку української енергетики характеризується низкою негативних тенденцій: частка викопних джерел енергії в загальному обсязі споживання є найбільшою, частка відновлюваних джерел є доволі низькою і протягом багатьох років залишається майже незмінною, Україна є залежною від імпорту джерел енергії, показник енергоємності ВВП — один із найвищих у Європі та світі. У рамках енергетичної стратегії України урядом поставлена мета до 2035 року підвищити частку відновлюваних джерел в обсягах загального постачання первинної енергії до 25 %. З огляду на це підприємствам варто підвищувати енергетичну ефективність і впроваджувати проєкти з відновлюваної енергетики. Однак більшість із суб’єктів господарювання обмежені у власних джерелах фінансування, тому потребують фінансової підтримки з боку держави і додаткових позикових коштів. Для стимулювання розвитку проєктів із відновлюваної енергетики у світі застосовується низка стратегій, серед яких виділяють регулятивні та добровільні. Наразі в Україні використовуються лише три інструменти підтримки відновлюваних джерел енергії: «зелені тарифи», податкові пільги і пільговий режим приєднання до електричної мережі. Крім того, існує декілька можливостей грантового і кредитного фінансування. Проте на сучасному етапі розвитку відновлюваної енергетики в Україні таких механізмів фінансової підтримки недостатньо, оскільки інвестування цієї сфери залишається доволі ризиковим. Тому для активізації інвестицій у проєкти з відновлюваної енергетики пропонуємо застосувати додаткові інструменти державного просування новітніх технологій у цій сфері, удосконалення нормативно-правової бази, посилення обізнаності підприємств про можливість пільгового кредитування і підвищення громадської активності щодо екологізації виробничих процесів.
Ключові слова: відновлювані джерела енергії, енергоємність, енергоефективність, «зелені тарифи», тендерні системи.

Анотація. Ефективна протидія ухиленню від оподаткування можлива лише шляхом використання комплексу різноманітних заходів, у тому числі й кримінально-правового характеру, застосування яких вимагає знання наявних схем і способів вчинення таких правопорушень.
Обґрунтовано, що попри відсутність у диспозиції статті 212 КК України безпосередньої вказівки на спосіб умисного ухилення від сплати податків, зборів (обов’язкових платежів), його слід визнавати необхідним структурним елементом кримінально-правової характеристики цього злочину. Розглянуто наукові підходи до класифікації способів умисного ухилення від сплати податків, зборів (обов’язкових платежів) і з’ясовано найбільш поширені їхні види на практиці. Констатовано, що способи ухилення від оподаткування постійно вдосконалюються і видозмінюються, що унеможливлює надання повної їхньої наукової класифікації. Наведено аргументи на користь недоцільності передбачення в законі про кримінальну відповідальність вичерпного переліку способів ухилення від оподаткування.
Виокремлено визначальні ознаки способу, до яких віднесено кумулятивність, заснованість на обмані та високоорганізованість. Зроблено висновок про різний вплив використовуваних способів ухилення від оподаткування на ступінь тяжкості вчиненого кримінального правопорушення, що має враховуватися під час обрання до правопорушників найбільш дієвих заходів кримінально-правового характеру. Наголошено, що знання про способи ухилення від оподаткування дозволить усунути наявні вади в національній податковій системі та законодавстві, які створюють умови для вчинення таких суспільно небезпечних діянь, а отже, і сприятиме мінімізації ризиків посягань на розглядувану сферу.
Ключові слова: податки, збори, обов’язкові платежі, ухилення від оподаткування, спосіб учинення злочину, кримінально-правова характеристика.

Policymakers and national, regional, and local authorities will require to cater to growing demands for public services and facilities, including the implementation of better and safer infrastructure. This should be conducted focusing on the urban poor and other vulnerable groups for their basic needs for transportation, housing, education, health care, and, more importantly, a safe and liveable urban environment. Meanwhile, pedestrians are often the most vulnerable road users in society, so investigating pedestrian accidents' causes and consequences is essential. Like neighboring countries in Asia, Indonesia experiences a high pedestrian fatality rate. This study investigates pedestrian perceptions toward traffic safety and identifies novel measures to improve pedestrian safety, with a particular focus on developing cities. Data collection involved self-reporting using questionnaires by respondents based in Denpasar, the capital city of Bali Province. Binary and multinomial logit models were estimated using pedestrian perception data to identify the factors that influence pedestrian accidents. This study found that reckless or careless driving/riding contributed significantly to pedestrian accidents at both night and day times. Besides, junctions and pedestrian crossings were perceived to be dangerous for pedestrians compared to other road infrastructure such as footpaths. The outcome of the study also reveals that motorcycles will be more influential for pedestrian accidents than cars. To reflect upon the findings, some countermeasures for enhancing pedestrian safety in Denpasar were discussed with attention to engineering, policy, enforcement, and education perspectives.

Published: December 2020

Since Asbestos has been banned, the research and development of new gasket materials and designs have continued. One of the materials that are closest to the nature of asbestos is metal. Metal gaskets have been used extensively as static insulation in many industries because they have high temperature and chemical resistance, can withstand pressure, be recycled, and reliability in critical situations. Types of metal gaskets can be distinguished based on their shape. The focus of this research is the corrugated type gasket. Based on previous research, it has been found that important parameters of metal gasket performance are contact width and contact stress. Research developed so far is that the design of corrugated metal gaskets is divided into two types based only on the contact width of the plastic conditions without considering the magnitude of the contact stress and vice versa. In this study, we propose a new approach with contact width and contact stress calculated together as evaluation criteria to optimize corrugated metal gaskets' design. The Taguchi method is used as an optimization design method and a finite element software to obtain result data. This study aimed to obtain an optimal gasket design by utilizing this new approach by using the Taguchi method as an experimental design and simulation method to obtain the result data. This will result in a new design of corrugated metal gasket type which can prevent better leakage performance.

==========================================================Available online: 31 December 2020This article has been retracted by International Journal on Advanced Science, Engineering and Information Technology Editorial team, following clear correspondence and confirmation with authors.The paper is retracted from 29 November 2021.==========================================================With the advantage of reducing the damage of bending stress up to 10%, the straight-toothed bevel gears (STBG) with a shoulder-bearing are being used in many industries automobiles, trains, mining, space, machinery technology and aviation equipment. With the working characteristics of straight-tooth bevel gear, the manufacturing quality assessments are usually conducted through micro-dimensional values, surface gloss, and internal surfaces' contact ability in the transmission. Recently, research and application of gear machining methods on 3-axis CNC milling machines are gradually becoming more popular. Therefore, the study of the affection of technology parameters on the quality of shaping the STBG surface by evaluating the output factors (surface undulation, micro-geometry parameters and trace contact size) in the finishing step is very urgent. First of all, the paper goes into detail in building design solutions to create input data for the machining of STBG on CNC milling machines by profile attachment method. Moreover, the study also built the process of evaluating the machining quality of the STBG utilizing microgeometry and the contact size. The paper focuses on developing experimental equations that show the relationship between technological parameters (S, F, ï„Z) and roughness (Ra), deviation of tooth profile shape (ffï¡), and trace contact size (bc, hc) of the Z11-16 m8 STBG transmission. From that, the optimal technology solution was identified to ensure the contact accuracy when processing the Z16-11 m8 STBG transmission on a 3-axis CNC milling machine.

In this investigation, an automated vision system "AVS" for non-destructive quality inspection of potato tubers "PT" was developed. Color, size, mass, firmness, and the texture homogeneity of the "PT" surface, various sensitive features were studied, and extracted from the digital image by using the R program. Otsu threshold method, RGB, Lu*v*, CIE LChuv color models, and texture analysis by using the package Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrices (GLCMs) were applied. The results showed a great correlation between the tuber pixel area percentages (DIM=dimension as a percentage of total pixels), and both mass and geometric mean diameter (GMD) of all "PT" varieties. The color results demonstrated that the hue angle (huv) ranged from 68.92 to 96.61°, and the "PT" color was classified into deep and light color intensity. The "AVS" could predict the mass and size, and gave statistical data at the mass production level, in terms of the inspecting samples No., mass, and grades based on size, color, and free from injuries through the texture homogeneity of tuber surface. A predictive model hypothesized based on the tuber's surface texture characteristics for predicting the tubers firmness was statistically significant. This "AVS" can be applied as a non-destructive, precise, and symmetric technique in-line inspection, the quality of "PT", also helping decision-makers in the agricultural field and stakeholders to improve the horticulture sector through the statistical data issued by this system.

Calibrating Trip Distribution Neural Network Models with Different Scenarios of Transfer Functions Used in Hidden and Output Layers
Authors: Yaldi Gusri , M. Nur Imelda , Apwiddhal -
Published: December 2020

The transfer function is used to process the summation outputs in the hidden and output nodes. It can generally be categorized as either a non-linear or linear function. Examples are Sigmoid and Purelin functions representing non-linear and linear transfer functions. It is often mentioned that there is no standard guideline in the transfer function selection, and the Sigmoid or Logsig is widely used. However, the transfer function and training algorithm have a procedural relationship in training Multilayer Feedforward Neural Network (MLFFNN), a famous Artificial Neural Network model structure. In the feedforward stage, this function transforms the linear summation output to either linear (Purelin) or non-linear form (Sigmoid). In the backpropagation stage, this function is used in calculating the magnitude of change in the connection weights involving its derivative. Nine scenarios of MLFFNN were developed based on different transfer functions used in both hidden and output layers. In order to make fair comparisons, each scenario has the same initial connection weight. The modelling is conducted at the calibration level only; however, it involves different levels of complexity. It was calibrated by using the Levenberg-Marquard training algorithm. The results suggest that some calibrations failed and negative estimations occurred once non-linear transfer functions were used in hidden and output layers. It was found that Purelin was superior to other transfer functions. However, it has a weakness which is its negative estimations.

Published: December 2020

Determination of a combination of process variables that are not appropriate in the end milling process will result in high surface roughness and can reduce the metal removal rate. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the end milling process variables with the appropriate minimum quantity cooling lubrication. This study aims to obtain a combination of end milling process variables on ASSAB XW-42 material using the Taguchi-WPCA method to minimize arithmetic roughness (Ra), quadratic roughness average (Rq), and average roughness from peak to valley (Rz), and maximize metal removal rate (MRR) simultaneously. The cooling fluid method used is the minimum quantity of cooling lubrication (MQCL). The end milling process variable that is varied is the cutting fluid (soluble oil and vegetable oil), spindle speed (178 rpm, 310 rpm, and 570 rpm), feed rate (33.5 mm / minute, 59.4 mm / minute and 111.9 mm / minute) and the cutting depth (0.125 mm, 0.25 mm and 0.5 mm). The cutting tool used in this study is solid carbide end mill having four cutting edges with a diameter of 10 mm. The experimental design of the L18 orthogonal array was used in this study. The results showed that the optimal roughness of the workpiece surface and metal removal rate (MRR) was given by vegetable oil cutting fluid, 570 rpm of spindle speed, 33.5 mm / minute of feed rate, and 0.25 mm of the cutting depth. The Cutting fluid, spindle speed, and feed rate have a significant effect on the response variables observed simultaneously.

Published: December 2020

Utilization of electronic products expansion dramatically in recent decades throughout the globe. Faster technological evolution is one of the causes of the high use of electronic products and makes the product obsolete rapidly. Therefore, this encourages the potential for various risks and becomes one of the problems in the sustainability of environmental management. Moreover, risk factors study in the process of managing e-waste has not been done. Therefore, this study will analyze the risk of e-waste management factors using the Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) approach. Several important information regarding the risk factors of the e-waste management process were collected using literature studies, interview methods, and fishbone diagrams. The risk factors were arranged in the form of questionnaires distributed to five respondents from various fields such as academics, the ministry of environment, the sanitation department, non-governmental organizations. The respondents were asked to provide a risk assessment based on expertise and professionalism. The result shows that several highest RPN values such as manual technology (729), number of technologies (729), legal compliance (729), and recycling costs (729). At the same time, other factors are still in the medium and low category. Thus, risk evaluation in the e-waste management process is focused on the highest risk category. Furthermore, this research can be an approach to evaluating risk management from electronic waste in DKI Jakarta-Indonesia and other developing countries. Further studies to improve the results of this research need to be carried out that will be useful for further action in the future.

Authors: Nusaibah - , Syamsu Khaswar , Susilaningsih Dwi
Published: December 2020

Hydrogen gas is generated by the fossil fuel refinery process, fixation of sunlight, wind turbine, and water electrolysis. Hydrogen gas is promising energy due to its high energy content and clean combustion. It is also able to be produced by fermentation series, using waste as a substrate. Vinasse is a waste of ethanol distillation from fermented molasses, which still has high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) content. The COD is mainly composed of many organic loads that potential to produce hydrogen. Tofu whey (TW), which still has high nitrogen content, is waste generated from the tofu production process. TW is reported to contain high of valuable nutrients, including protein that contains nitrogen. The combination of both liquid wastes is a suitable substrate for hydrogen gas production using Rhodobium marinum. This work aimed to study hydrogen gas, Hydrogen Production Rate, and COD Removal Rate of hydrogen production using a combination of both liquid wastes. Biohydrogen production was examined by varying COD of vinasse/Nitrogen from TW (10,000/1-50,000/1) at a particular fermentation time in the 3rd, 6th, and 9th days. The highest hydrogen gas and Hydrogen Production Rate (HPR) was obtained at substrate concentration 40,000/1 on 9th day of fermentation, namely 95.72±6.51 mL H2/L and 121.44 mL H2/L/d, respectively. COD removal and COD Removal Rate were 7820±400.69 mg COD/L and 799.77 mg COD/L/d. Thus, it can be concluded that the combination of Vinasse and TW has potential as a substrate to biohydrogen production using Rhodobium marinum.

High-quality fruits can be produced by controlling the environmental factors, i.e. temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide, and light intensity. The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) variety ‘Rinka 409’, was grown hydroponically with a high-wire system in high technology greenhouse, Ehime University, Japan. The water stress treatment using visual monitoring system was used to produce the high soluble solids tomato fruits. Moreover, a high lycopene content of tomato can be produced by controlling the storage condition. Non-destructive measurement has been known to provide a fast and accurate quality measurement of fruits and vegetables. The objectives of this study were to develop a precise position for the non-destructive measurement of the lycopene content in high soluble solids stored tomato using Vis/NIR spectroscopy and evaluate its performance. In this study, the high soluble solids of tomato fruits were grown under water stress treatment and stored after harvesting at 25°C in a cool incubator for 7 days. The tomato spectra were measured using Vis/NIR spectroscopy with the wavelength 500-1010 nm. The estimation of the lycopene content was based on the statistical model using multivariate analysis. From this study, it is concluded that the measurement of lycopene content in high soluble solids of tomato fruits after storage by using the top part of the tomato, was better than if it is  compared to the side part. It was best determined using PLS analysis with Visible/Near-infrared Spectroscopy non-destructively, with the R 0.98 and RMSE 0.80.

Authors: Rydz‑Żbikowska Anna
Published: December 2020

Over the past few years, organic farming has seen a dynamic development globally. In 2015, the global market for organic products was €81.6 billion, rising to more than €90 billion in 2018 (Światowy rynek produktów ekologicznych osiągnął wartość 90 mld euro 2019). There has also been a significant rise in the production of organic products by the group of Least Developed countries (LDCs) (such as African countries), which are being supported by all the World Trade Organisation negotiations within the Doha Round. The aim of this article is to present different definitions of organic farming according to the most important international organizations. Furthermore, it will examine the status of the organic farming sector in selected examples of Africa’s LDCs and investigate the results of Doha’s negotiations within the agricultural market (particularly towards LDCs). Finally, it will investigate the status and the latest developments of organic farming in the LDCs compared to Poland. The research methods used in the article include an analysis of available documentary and literary sources on the topics in question, the development of relevant statistical surveys, and the deductive approach to draw conclusions from the development of organic agriculture in LDCs and Poland (as an example of a Central European Country).
Managers’ challenges on implementing inclusive education

Published: December 2020

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges attract a diverse population of students with different backgrounds in terms of culture, social norms, language, disabilities, race, and family structures. All such students have the right to equal access to education. However, there is still limited access and support to students with disabilities in TVET colleges. This paper explores challenges faced by the management of TVET colleges concerning the implementation of inclusive education, specifically for students with disabilities. A case study design within a qualitative research approach was adopted for this study.  Two TVET colleges were conveniently selected with ten participants being purposively sampled.  Data was collected through interviews, observations and document analysis.  Findings revealed that the management of TVET colleges experience challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, funding, lecturer-training, and shortage of staff to support students with disabilities. It was recommended that TVET colleges establish Disability Service Units and recruit trained lecturers or they must train current lecturers to facilitate the learning process of disabled students.

The data was collected from various sources like world bank, word economic forum, as well as transparency international. The analysis was performed by using EViews and various statistical tests were also applied in order to analyse the trends in data and the relationship between the study variables as well. The results of ARLD test showed that all three dependent variables were significantly associated with the quality of education. Literacy rate was correlated with the rise in quality of education in the long run, as well as the short run. Population growth also showed a rise in quality of education in the long run but not in the short run. Only state democracy showed positive association in the long run but showed no association in the short run. Various limitations in the form of study variables, data analysis, and methods were associated with the current study. Future studies are highly recommended to address these gaps for better implications.

PARENTAL INFLUENCE ON A CHILD'S GENDER IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT IN LAURIE FRANKEL'S THIS IS HOW IT ALWAYS IS
Authors: Rikhusshuba Nazila , Huda Miftahul
Published: December 2020

Social aspects, including parents, are likely to influence the development of gender identity. As parents' actions and behaviours convey meaning to their children, they contribute to the formation of the children's gender identity development. The present study aims to investigate the parental influence on the gender identity development of a child character named Claude in Laurie Frankel's This Is How It Always Is. This study is a literary criticism concerning the issue of gender identity development in a literary work viewed from a psychological approach. The data were collected from a novel entitled This Is How It Always Is by Laurie Frankel and analyzed using the social cognitive theory of gender development by Bussey Bandura (1999). The results of the study revealed that his parents influence Claude's gender identity development through the process of modelling as a part of observational learning, which is also supported by parents' evaluative reactions such as rewards or punishments. The process of modelling reveals egalitarian gender roles and sexual orientation modelled and Claude's attention to his mother as an ideal female model, alongside with how parents convey affective reactions such as acceptance and approval on Claude's gender orientation.
AN ECO-TRANSLATOLOGICAL STUDY ON STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF THE TRANSLATION COMPETENCE
Authors: Sriyono Sriyono , Halili Mohammad
Published: December 2020

This study discussed students’ perception of translation competence with eco-translatology approach. It aims at understanding the students' perception of translation competence and adaptation to the translation activities in class.  The eco-translatology model proposed that students be active as the translator; most activities are students-centered.  Students act as a translator in which they benefit from resources around them as in an ecosystem life.  The method in this study is descriptive by identifying the students’ perception of translation competence. Translation competence is often associated with students taking part in translation subjects only as mastering linguistics competence without knowing the basic translation competence principle. Therefore, by applying eco-translatology, the students know that translation is not merely transferring the language unit and meaning from source texts (ST) into target texts (TT). The research results show that students had a better understanding when eco –translatology was applied. They acknowledge that translator competence should be grasped to be a real translator. Besides, it also indicates that students are aware of the importance of translation competence to develop their knowledge.

The purpose of this study is to discover positive-self and negative-other representations of Brunei’s Sharia Law on LGBT through the lexical choices used by the New Strait Times and Bangkok Post also reveals the ideology from both of the media. This study uses a qualitative approach with critical discourse analysis as the research design. Following Van Dijk’s analytical framework, the words were selected and classified into word class, type of meaning (lexical or contextual), and category (positive or negative).  Ideology from both media is obtained from the cognition analysis of the journalist's expression based on the co-text, context, and social context (social condition). The result showed that both media used lexical choices that indicate positive representation of LGBT by stating LGBT as victims, while negative representation on Brunei’s Government, Muslim, and Sharia law as a persecutor. There were four methods in indicating the positive representation of LGBT; noun/noun phrase representation, detailed information on a noun, verb indicating accusation, and verb indicating discrimination; also there were three methods used to indicate negative representation of Brunei’s Government, Muslim, and Sharia law; noun/ noun phrase representation, verb indicating negative actions, and verb indicating provocations.

Published: December 2020

This paper presents a model to find the optimum process conditions for tea manufacturing as well as to predict the black tea quality by implementing a network based tea process parameters monitoring and data logging system. Here, the developed instrument is first calibrated and then implemented to collect the process parameters of tea fermentation and drying. The corresponding tea quality also termed as overall liquor rating (OLR) is collected from tea tasters. Principal component analysis (PCA) is carried out to visualize the pattern of the process parameters. The first two principal components stored 93% useful information whereas more than 6% useful information are stored in the 3rd principal component. It is found from the PCA that maximum samples are clustered in well-defined manner. To study the correlation of the process parameters with OLR, a computational model based on Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been developed. Non Cross validation (NCV) ANN and Tenfold cross validation (TFCV) ANN models have been trained and tested. Process conditions and corresponding OLR are taken as input and target for the model. 74% classification rate with root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.13 is obtained from the study. The optimum process conditions are found out from the model.
