KEABSAHAN AKTA OTENTIK YANG DIBUAT OLEH NOTARIS PENGGANTI YANG PARA PIHAKNYA ADALAH KELUARGA NOTARIS YANG DIGANTIKAN
Authors: Huduri Andi Nurlaila Amalia
Published: January 2020

Substitute Notaries and Notaries have the same in terms of authority, obligations, and responsibilities, as well as the prohibitions that apply to the Notary Public also apply to the Notary Substitute. As in the case of making an authentic deed based on Article 15 paragraph (1) of the UUJN, as well as with the Notary Substitute, nothing is different in terms of its authority, as long as it is not excluded by the Law. Likewise with the prohibition that applies to the Notary also applies to the Notary Substitute, one of the core discussion in this paper is that a Notary in making a deed is prohibited from making it for the Notary himself, a marriage-bound spouse, or someone who has a blood related relationship, a straight down line of ties, to the top, and the line to the side with the Notary. But what about the deed made by a Surrogate Notary at the request of the family of the Notary he replaces, if the Surrogate Notary does not have blood ties with the Notary he has replaced. In UUJN itself, which is a guideline for all Notaries, there are no specific rules or implicit or explicit rules governing the validity and position of the deed made by the Substitute Notary whose parties are the replaced Notary's family.Notaris maupun Notaris Pengganti memiliki kesamaan dalam hal kewenangan, kewajiban, serta tanggungjawab, begitupun dengan larangan yang berlaku pada Notaris berlaku juga untuk Notaris Pengganti. Seperti hal dalam membuat akta otentik berdasarkan Pasal 15 ayat (1)  UUJN, begitupun dengan Notaris Pengganti, tidak ada yang berbeda dalam hal kewenangannya, selama tidak dikecualikan oleh UU. Begitupun dengan larangan yang berlaku bagi Notaris berlaku juga bagi Notaris Pengganti, salah satunya inti pembahasan dalam tulisan ini ialah seorang Notaris dalam membuat akta dilarang membuatkan untuk Notaris itu sendiri, pasangan terikat perkawinan, atau orang yang mempunyai pertalian sedarah, garis pertalian lurus ke bawah, ke atas, serta garis ke samping dengan Notaris tersebut. Namun bagaimana halnya dengan akta yang dibuat oleh seorang Notaris Pengganti atas permintaan keluarga Notaris yang digantikannya, jika Notaris Pengganti tersebut tidak memiliki ikatan darah dengan Notaris yang digantikannya. Dalam UUJN sendiri yang merupakan pedoman untuk semua Notaris belum ada aturan khusus atau yang tertuang secara implisit maupun eksplisit yang mengatur tentang keabsahan dan bagaimana kedudukan atas akta yang dibuat oleh Notaris Pengganti yang para pihaknya adalah keluarga Notaris yang digantikan.
TINJAUAN KEGIATAN ASURANSI KREDIT PEMILIKAN RUMAH OLEH LEMBAGA PERBANKAN BERDASARKAN PRINSIP PERSAINGAN USAHA TIDAK SEHAT
Authors: Wijaya Anthony Dio
Published: January 2020

In running its business in the field of providing Homeownership Credit facilities by Bank Rakyat Indonesia as a banking institution, it is required to cooperate with insurance companies to bear the risks that might arise in the future for the applicant, in this case as KPR applicant customer. Therefore KPR applicant customers are required to use insurance services from Bank Rakyat Indonesia partner insurance companies for the housing for which the credit is requested. Customers should be given the freedom to choose the insurance product they will choose, rather than being required where the customer has no choice to use insurance other than a consortium between PT. Bringin Life and Heksa Eka Life Insurance, which is against Article 15 paragraph 2 of Law Number 5 of 1999 or often referred to as Business Competition Law. BRI, together with its partner insurance companies, have also conspired in determining the insurance company that will become BRI's partner, because this will benefit all three if there are no other insurance companies that become BRI partners. This certainly gives difficulties for other insurance companies that are not BRI's partners to run their business.Dalam menjalankan usahanya di bidang jasa pemberian fasilitas Kredit Pemilikan Rumah oleh Bank Rakyat Indonesia selaku lembaga perbankan diharuskan untuk bekerjasama dengan perusahaan asuransi guna menanggung resiko yang akan mungkin muncul di kemudian hari pada diri pemohon dalam hal ini selaku nasabah pemohon KPR. Oleh karena itu nasabah pemohon KPR diwajibkan untuk menggunakan jasa asuransi dari perusahaan asuransi rekan Bank Rakyat Indonesia untuk rumah yang diajukan kredit tersebut. Seharusnya nasabah diberikan kebebasan untuk memilih produk asuransi yang akan mereka pilih, bukannya diharuskan di mana nasabah tidak memiliki pilihan untuk menggunakan asuransi selain konsorsium antara PT. Bringin Life dan Heksa Eka Life Insurance, di mana hal tersebut adalah bertentangan terhadap Pasal 15 ayat (2) Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 1999 atau yang sering disebut dengan Undang-Undang Persaingan Usaha. BRI bersama sama dengan perusahaan asuransi rekanannya juga telah melakukan persekongkolan dalam hal penentuan perusahaan asuransi yang akan menjadi rekanan BRI, karena hal tersebut akan memberikan keuntungkan bagi ketiganya apabila tidak ada perusahaan asuransi lain yang menjadi rekanan BRI. Hal tersebut tentu memberikan kesulitan bagi perusahaan perusahaan asuransi lain yang bukan merupakan rekan dari BRI untuk menjalankan usahanya.

Child protection is a constitutional right to realize human rights even though it is aimed at child offenders. The problem of saving culture (deviant culture) is still a major consideration as a cause of the emergence of bad behavior by children. Psycholegal approach found that crime committed by children is influenced by the process of imitation. Incorrect socialization in this imitation process, or exposure to violations of the law, is obtained from the family or social environment around children during prenatal, Christmas, adolesencence until adulthood. Starting from the wrong socialization process and the inability to understand the law in childhood. become one of the triggers of crime. The juvenile justice system model with a psycholegal approach requires diversion by strengthening the legal substance, namely (a) right to as soon as possible without delay by a free/impartial judiciary, (b) standardization of parents/supervisors who are monitored, (c) revitalization of roles Bapas as the oversight body diversion. (d) the elimination of stigmatization and (e) respect for children's privacy rights.Perlindungan anak merupakan hak konstitusional untuk mewujudkan hak asasi manusia meskipun itu ditujukan bagi anak pelaku kejahatan. Masalah sub-budaya menyimpan (deviant culture) masih menjadi pertimbangan utama sebagai penyebab munculnya perilaku jahat oleh anak. Pendekatan psikolegal menemukan bahwa kejahatan yang dilakukan anak dipengaruhi proses peniruan. Sosialisasi yang salah pada proses peniruan ini, atau terpaparnya tindak pelanggaran hukum, didapat dari keluarga atau lingkungan sosial di sekitar anak semasa prenatal, natal, adolesencence hingga dewasa..

Religiosity and Depression at Midlife: A Prospective Study
Authors: Anderson Micheline , Wickramaratne Priya , Svob Connie , Miller Lisa
Published: January 2020

Background: Previously, authors found that a high personal importance of religion and spirituality (R/S) at year 10 was predictive of a 75% decreased risk of recurrence of major depression in a prospective study of adults (mean age at year 20 follow-up = 37.1 years, SD = 6.2 years). Here, the authors follow-up with the original study sample 5/10 years later (mean age at year 25/30 follow-up = 47.5 years, SD = 6.9 years) to examine the association between R/S and major depression in midlife. Method: Participants were 79 of 114 original adult offspring of depressed and non-depressed parents. Diagnosis was assessed with the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Lifetime Version. Three measures of R/S were included: personal importance of R/S, frequency of attendance at religious services, and denomination. Using logistic regression analysis, the three R/S variables were used as longitudinal predictors and the outcome was diagnosis of MDD. Results: Reported high personal importance of R/S at year 20 was associated at year 25/30 with risk for an initial onset of depression. When stratified by familial risk for depression, frequency of attendance at year 20 was associated with recurrence of depression at year 25/30 in the group at high familial risk for depression. Limitations: Limitations include generalizability and differential rates of frequent attendance between participants retained and those who dropped out. Conclusions: Findings suggest that the relation between R/S and depression may vary across adult development. The preponderance of midlife depression in spiritually-oriented individuals aligns with challenges of midlife.
How do reproduction, parenting, and health cluster together? Exploring diverging destinies, life histories and weathering in two UK cohort studies
Authors: Brown Laura J , Sear Rebecca
Published: January 2020

Life history theory researchers often assume reproductive, parenting and health behaviours pattern across a fast-slow continuum, with ‘fast’ life histories (typified by short lifespans, early maturation and investing in quantity over quality of children) favoured in poor quality environments and/or when resources are scarce. Some researchers further reduce this down to a simplistic ‘fast’ versus ‘slow’ dichotomy. Some of these ideas, with different theoretical motivations, are echoed in the ‘diverging destinies’ and ‘weathering’ frameworks developed in the social sciences. Whether clustering of reproductive, parenting and health traits exists has rarely been empirically tested, however. Using latent class analysis on data on mothers from the UK’s Millennium Cohort (MCS) and Born in Bradford (BiB) studies, we explored whether reproduction and parenting traits clustered into ‘diverging destinies’, whether ‘weathering’ effects tied together health and reproduction, and whether all three domains were combined into either ‘fast’ vs ‘slow’ life histories, or into three groups more indicative of a fast-slow continuum. We leveraged ethnic diversity in these samples to examine four groups of mothers separately: 1. MCS White British/Irish (n = 15,423); 2. MCS Pakistani-origin (n = 923); 3. BiB White British (n = 3937); 4. BiB Pakistani-origin (n = 4351), and explored whether faster ‘weathering’ was evident amongst Pakistani-origin mothers.Both two and three class models emerged as potential descriptions of latent subgroups, potentially providing support for fast and slow life histories or a continuum of traits. However, response profiles provided only limited support for theoretical predictions of which traits should cluster together, with inconsistent and restricted clustering of traits both within and between the domains of reproduction, parenting, and health. In addition, trait clustering was more pronounced amongst White mothers and we found no clear evidence supporting faster ‘weathering’ amongst Pakistani-origin mothers; the observed clustering instead suggested that cultural constraints may influence linkages between traits. Our results therefore provide some limited support for models which suggest certain traits cluster together in predictable ways, but it is also clear that theoretical frameworks should not emphasise very rigid clustering of large numbers of traits and should allow for contextual influences on clustering.

Profesi berasal dari bahasa latin “Proffesio” yang mempunyai dua pengertian yaitu janji/ikrar dan pekerjaan. Bila artinya dibuat dalam pengertian yang lebih luas menjadi kegiatan “apa saja” dan siapa saja” untuk memperoleh nafkah yang dilakukan dengan suatu keahlian tertentu. Sedangkan dalam arti sempit profesi berarti kegiatan yang dijalankan berdasarkan keahlian tertentu dan sekaligus dituntut daripadanya pelaksanaan norma-norma sosial dengan baik. Di dalam UU No.20 tahun 2003 pasal 39 ayat 2 tentang sisdiknas disebutkan bahwa pendidik merupakan tenaga profesional yang bertugas merencanakan dan melaksanakan proses pembelajaran, menilai hasil pembelajaran, melakukan pembimbingan dan pelatihan, serta melakukan penelitian dan pengabdian kepada masyarakat, terutama bagi pendidik pada perguruan tinggi. Jadi profesi pendidik adalah jabatan tenaga profesional yang bertugas merencanakan dan melaksanakan proses pembelajaran, menilai hasil pembelajaran, melakukan pembimbingan dan pelatihan, serta melakukan penelitian dan pengabdian kepada masyarakat, terutama bagi pendidik pada perguruan tinggi yang menuntut keterampilan dan membutuhkan pelatihan serta penguasaan terhadap suatu pengetahuan khusus sendiri.
The P600 for singular “they”: How the brain reacts when John decides to treat themselves to sushi.
Authors: Prasad Grusha , Morris Joanna
Published: January 2020

There has been increased awareness that individuals need not have a binary gender identity (i.e., male or female), but rather, gender identities exist on a spectrum. With this increased awareness, there has also been an increase in the use of they as a singular pronoun when referring to individuals with a non-binary gender identity. Has the processing of singular they changed along with a change in its usage? Previous studies have demonstrated that sentences in which they is co-indexed with singular antecedents, are judged acceptable and are easy to process, but only if the antecedents are non-referential and/or have ambiguous gender; co-indexing they with referential antecedents with unambiguous gender (e.g., Mary) results in lower acceptability ratings and greater processing effort. We investigated whether participants who frequently interacted with individuals with a non-binary gender identity and/or identified as having a non-binary gender themselves would process sentences in which themselves was co-indexed with singular antecedents similarly. We found a significant P600 effect for sentences in which themselves was co-indexed with singular referential antecedents with unambiguous gender, but failed to find a P600 effect when the antecedents were non-referential and/or had an ambiguous gender. This pattern of results is consistent with behavioural results from previous studies, suggesting that the change in the usage of singular they has not resulted in a corresponding change in the way in which this pronoun is processed.
Individual patterns of visual exploration predict the extent of fear generalization in humans
Authors: Reutter Mario , Gamer Matthias
Published: January 2020

Generalization of fear is considered an important mechanism contributing to the etiology and maintenance of anxiety disorders. Although previous studies have identified the importance of stimulus discrimination for fear generalization, it is still unclear to what degree overt attention to relevant stimulus features might mediate its magnitude. To test the prediction that visual preferences for distinguishing stimulus aspects are associated with reduced fear generalization, we developed a set of facial stimuli that was meticulously manipulated such that pairs of faces could either be distinguished by looking into the eyes or into the region around mouth and nose, respectively. These pairs were then employed as CS+ and CS− in a differential fear conditioning paradigm followed by a generalization test with morphs in steps of 20%. Shock expectancy ratings indicated a moderately curved fear generalization gradient that is typical for healthy samples but its shape was altered depending on individual attentional deployment: Subjects who dwelled on the distinguishing facial features faster and for longer periods of time exhibited less fear generalization. Although both, pupil and heart rate responses also showed a generalization gradient, with pupil diameter and heart rate deceleration increasing as a function of threat, these responses were not significantly related to visual exploration. In total, the current results indicate that the extent of explicit fear generalization depends on individual patterns of attentional deployment. Future studies evaluating the efficacy of perceptual trainings that aim to augment stimulus discriminability in order to reduce (over )generalization seem desirable.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC): More Than A Branch Of Armed Forces
Authors: DEMIREL HAMZA
Published: January 2020

This study aims at analyzing the role of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps’ (IRGC) extraterritorial activities in attaining Iran’s foreign policy goals. The regime has deliberately supported several armed non-state actors to achieve the goals, particularly as seen in its relations with Lebanese Hezbollah and Shia groups in Iraq, the IRGC has served as a node in providing a broad range of state support. Although the IRGC has the characteristics of conventional armed forces, its extraterritorial activities contradict the legal frame of ‘use of military force’ and mostly fit the characteristics of ‘state sponsorship of terrorism.’ Moreover, these activities challenge international norms and provoke other regional actors. This condition creates an obstacle to Iran’s integration into the international system which is increasingly globalized and interconnected and an environment which is costly to live within and leaves it isolated. These attitudes paradoxically place Iran in a situation that challenges the goals of ‘state security and survival’ and ‘becoming the regional power’ in the long run. Thus, it is argued that the real reason behind the regime’s insistence on this strategy is preserving the current political system and the power of current ruling elites; in brief, it is labeled ‘regime survival’ in this study.
Increasing and diversifying turnout in non-electoral participation - a field experiment
Authors: Wittels Annabelle Sophie
Published: January 2020

Participation in non-electoral initiatives holds significance for good governance and democratic engagement, although they often encounter challenges like low involvement and the under-representation of disadvantaged groups. Insights from behavioural economics and psychology,commonly applied to electoral participation, offer potential strategies for boosting non-electoral engagement. This study seeks to investigate this area. It sets out a theoretical framework on how incentive frameworks of non-electoral participation differ from those of elections and what strategies could be designed to increase and diversify participation. It then puts this to the test empirically using a randomised field experiment with 29,008 households. It illustrates that rigoroustesting of interventions is necessary to understand their impact across different democratic contexts: Contrary to what theory would predict for electoral contexts and paid-for work, all tested interventionssignificantly decrease participation in the governance initiative under study. Implications for further development of strategies targeting non-electoral participation are discussed.

Authors: Kumara Rashmi Paniye , Fathima Farah Naaz , Fernandes Steve , Xavier Vinod , Ramesh Naveen
Published: January 2020

Background: The tea industry which is one of the world’s oldest agro-based industry provides direct employment to more than a million workers, of which most are women. Two of the main causes for decreased tea production in India is due to shortage of pluckers and their absenteeism which impacts tea productivity. So, this study was undertaken to study absenteeism rates and the causes of absenteeism among female pluckers in a tea plantation in South India.

Methodology: This was a cross section study undertaken in tea estates located in Anamalais, Tamilnadu. All female pluckers working in the estates were eligible to part of the study. The study population consisted of 256 female tea pluckers who were selected at random and an interview schedule was used to collect the following information – socio-demographic status, nature of the job, job satisfaction and reasons for absenteeism.

Results: The study population consisted of 80.9% permanent workers and 19.1% temporary workers, with an average work experience of 21.6years.The main cause of absenteeism was health related (47.8%), followed by visit to native place (29.3%), then illness among family members (15.7%) and either lazy of bored to report to work (7.2%).There was an association between absenteeism and hospitalization in the past one year, increasing number of children in the family and the number of years of work experience.

Conclusion: Majority of the pluckers were in the age group of 40-45 years. Women in this age group are more vulnerable to health issues such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, work related musculoskeletal disorders and also probably time taken off to take care of dependents apart from house old chores. Increasing age, illness of self or family member were the most important factors which contributed to increase absenteeism.

Published: January 2020

Background: There is growing research on Nepali migrant workers, especially on living conditions and occupational health and safety abroad. However, few studied support networks for migrant labourers. Objective of this study is to explore social support and support networks among Nepali migrant workers in the Middle East and Malaysia.

Methodology: Study among Nepali men working in the Middle East and Malaysia. Twenty in-depth interviews were conducted and the interviewees were mixed in terms of age, marital status, education, ethnic background and length of stay. Qualitative data were analysed thematically.

Results: The participants found that having (pre-)existing circles of friends in the host countries makes migration easier to migrate, and made their lives easier when establishing themselves abroad.

Conclusion: The assimilation of migrant workers appears to be easier among those who have existing networks in their place of migration. Social Capital Theory helps explain the importance of these networks.
Event Study of Effect of Merger Announcement on Stock Price in Nepal
Authors: Chhetri Shanti Devi , Baral Ravindra Prasad
Published: January 2020

Events like merger and acquisition affect the value of merging firms and also generate a positive or negative wealth effect for shareholders of firms involved. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a merger announcement has generated wealth effects for the shareholders of bidding and target firms as well as it has aimed to assess the impact on overall banking sector. Two models; mean adjusted model and market risk adjusted model has been used in the study employing the ‘event study’ methodology to examine whether there is presence of abnormal return associated with merger announcement. In this method, 50 days premerger and 30 days post merger period is assumed as estimation period and (-15 and +15) days are taken as the window period. Fifteen financial institutions which entered into merger between years 2010 to 2012 are selected as sample. The findings of this study demonstrated that surrounding the announcement of merger proposals, the premerger abnormal return of individual firms is not significant to zero i.e. return is not affected by the merger announcement. Similarly, the abnormal return of bidding and target firms is not significant which indicates there is no impact of merger announcements on shareholder wealth in Nepalese capital market. Finally, the abnormal return during the premerger and post merger period of individual firms as well as the overall banking sector shows the same result, there is no significant difference on return before and after the merger announcement.

Ethical leadership continues to receive considerable attention due to its influence on various job outcomes, therefore this study was conducted to examine the effect of ethical leadership on job outcomes (employee wellbeing and worker's voice) and to demonstrate that how good faith direct the relationship between ethical leadership and job outcomes. This study was conducted in the Non-Government organizations in Peshawar. Information was gathered from 180 workers working in 6 diverse NGO’s in Peshawar. Information was gathered through an organized questionnaire and convenience sampling technique was used. The results of this study showed that ethical leadership was positively related to employee well-being and employee voice. The findings of the study show that there is a strong relationship between ethical leadership, employee voice, employee well-being. The main contribution of this study was to find the significant moderating effect of conscientiousness on both dependent variables.

La prevención de residuos de alimentos. Los casos de la Unión Europea y la Ciudad de México
Authors: Morales-Pérez Rosalba Esther , Mejía Ponce de León Adolfo
Published: January 2020

La Directiva 2008/98/EC de la Unión Europea define las acciones para la prevención de residuos, incluidos los de alimentos. En México, la política de residuos sólidos se basa en estrategias de prevención y minimización; las acciones en la implementación se centran en minimizar. Con base en el marco teórico de las políticas públicas y el concepto de colaboración en la implementación, este estudio muestra la experiencia y avances logrados en la Unión Europea. También propone que las instituciones ambientales en el gobierno federal y de la Ciudad de México deben concretar acciones a favor de la prevención de los residuos de alimentos y enfatiza las ventajas potenciales de realizarlas.
Los límites de la sustentabilidad de las ciudades rurales sustentables: el caso de Chiapas
Authors: Mingüer Cestelos Beatriz Corina
Published: January 2020

Esta investigación busca evidenciar los límites de la política de las Ciudades Rurales Sustentables (CRS) en Chiapas en el marco de las contradicciones del desarrollo sustentable. Metodológicamente, este estudio contiene tres niveles analíticos que también representan sus límites: los intrínsecos del desarrollo sustentable, originados por las debilidades de la lógica de producción capitalista; los de su interpretación, que implican los problemas de la noción abstracta al tratar de hacerse concreta y los de su implementación en forma de políticas públicas. Los hallazgos, tanto del análisis documental como del trabajo de campo, develan las formas que adquiere el desarrollo sustentable desde el discurso hasta su aplicación, provocando el desplazamiento de poblaciones enteras, cambio en las dinámicas económicas y sociales de las comunidades y nuevos procesos de urbanización que no lograron hacer que los esperados beneficios permearan en las zonas rurales. Se concluye que las CRS en Chiapas reproducen la idea de una universalidad en el modelo de desarrollo urbano que no resulta aplicable en la zona, además de reflejar los problemas de congruencia entre los objetivos económicos y los ambientales planteados en el discurso y que al ser aplicada como política pública se generan dinámicas propias de las zonas urbanas provocando cambios en las formas de convivencia y de generación de ingresos de las comunidades.
Transport system of Northern Bukovyna and Khotyn region in the interwar period
Authors: Rusnak Oleksandr
Published: January 2020

In the article the author describes the main tendencies of the development of the system of communication routes of Northern Bukovyna and Khotyn region in 1918 – 1940.
In the interwar period, in addition to the improvement of traditional modes of transport, new ones were launched. A major impediment to the improvement of transport infrastructure was the devastation during the World War I. During 1918 – 1940 the damaged sections of rails, bridges and stations had to be rebuilt. Similar were the problems with highways, the condition of which was one of the worst in Romania.
The progressive shifts should include the establishment of a permanent domestic and international air connection between Northern Bukovyna and Khotyn. Urban public transport has also undergone qualitative changes in the interwar period. There were regular bus routes between the main settlements of the region.
Keywords: Northern Bukovyna, Khotyn region, transport, rail, roads, tram, trolleybus, bus.
An autonomous micro-generation site using alternative/autonomous sources of electric energy
Authors: Markov A. S. , Kolganov K. A.
Published: January 2020

Introduction: the article deals with development and implementation of an autonomous, scalable and flexible-capacity micro-generation site representing a combination of various alternative sources of electric energy (up to 30 kW). The co-authors offer a solution for an autonomous micro-generation site: a prototype of a modular platform for a hybrid power plant (MPHP), which enables the use of solar and wind energies, capacitors, as well as an autonomous standby power supply unit having an internal combustion engine. The basic idea underlying the concept of a modular platform and the module combination method are substantiated. Power supply patterns that comprise MPHP are provided. Testing results, as well as the economic efficiency of a system operating in a decentralized energy supply environment are presented in the article.

Methods: the study is based on the analysis of strengths, weaknesses and features of existing energy systems using alternative/autonomous sources of electric energy with a view to the extension of capabilities and capacity by means of connecting new generating sources.

Findings and discussion: the results of development of an autonomous micro-generation site are presented; a prototype of a modular platform for a hybrid power plant (MPHP) is manufactured.

Conclusion: the modular platform of a hybrid power plant enables to combine different types of electric energy sources and retain effective control over operating modes, thus improving the energy supply reliability and saving organic fuel consumed for the generation of 1 kWh of electricity.
