Investigation of the influence of transit time on a multistate transportation network in tourism
Authors: Nguyen Thi-Phuong , Lin Yi-Kuei
Published: September 2021

Reliability has been widely used as a potential indicator of the performance assessment for several real-life networks. Focus on a multistate transportation network in tourism (MTN), this study evaluates the reliability of the MTN as a basis for investigating the influence of transit time. Reliability is the probability to fulfill transportation demand under the given time threshold and budget limitation and evaluated at various levels of transit times. An algorithm, which employs the boundary points and recursive sum of disjoint products technique, is proposed to evaluate the MTN reliability. According to the obtained results, this paper analyzes the influence of transit times on MTN reliability. Particularly, this paper discusses and provides some suggestions about the appropriate transit time to maintain reliability. Decision-makers in the tourism industry also can predetermine the significant drops of reliability to improve the relevant transit times. Besides, the proposed investigation is
indicated and proved through an illustrative example and a practical case.

When considering methods of combating the illicit circulation of nuclear materials, it is necessary to detect trace amounts of materials, and in many cases not to seize them immediately, but to establish the place of storage, processing, routes of movement, etc. As a result, there is a new demand for isotope identification measurements to meet a wide range of different requirements. Measurements should be carried out in the field in a short time, when results need to be obtained within tens of seconds. The devices with which the personnel work should be small and low-background. Such requirements appear when working to identify cases of illegal trade in nuclear materials and radioactive sources, as well as when solving radiation protection problems and when handling radioactive devices and waste.

In this work, new generation radiation sensors and measuring systems based on them have been created, which open up previously unknown possibilities in solving problems of nuclear fuel analysis, increasing the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring technological parameters and the state of protective barriers in nuclear power plants, and creating means for IAEA inspections. For the first time a portable digital gamma-ray spectrometer for radiation reconnaissance in the field was developed and created. Distinctive features of such devices are:

The analysis showed that the required value of error due to energy dependence of the sensitivity can be achieved using, for example, Analog Devices 10-bit AD9411 ADCs with a sampling rate of 170 MHz. The number of quantization levels is determined by the requirement to measure the dose rate of gamma radiation with an energy of at least 10 keV. This minimum energy corresponds to the use of 10-bit ADCs.

On the basis of the developed model, an ionizing radiation detector for dosimetry was created. Its fundamental difference from known devices is the use of CdZnTe crystals as a primary gamma-ray converter (sensor). The advantages of such a solution, proved by previous studies, made it possible to create a detector with: high resolution, no more than 40 keV; a wider dynamic range of values of the recorded radiation dose rate - from background to emergency operating modes of the reactor; lower value of the energy equivalent of noise.

Design of a New Duty Cycle Modulation to Improve the Energy Quality of an Insulated Production System
Authors: Donfack Clément Kengnou , Kom Charles Hubert , Mandeng Jean Jacques , Paune Félix
Published: September 2021

In this article, we propose a new strategy for controlling three-phase inverters of renewable energy sources, based on the Duty Cycle Modulatiom (DCM) control using the Park and Fortescue transformation (DCM-dq-dih). Our goals in setting and using this strategy are, on the one hand, to induce a lower harmonic rate as compared to the SPWM (Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation) strategy and on the other hand, this control technique enables the inverter to deliver balanced voltages, be it in the event of load unbalance. Our design is built on the basis of the known mode of DCM control of single-phase inverters. Thus, the control of our three-phase inverter is carried out by three DCM modules whose set-points come from the direct, reverse and homopolar strings reconstructed in a Park landmark. This new strategy was tested on the MATLAB Simulink environment for a load of 160 kW. The test results show a reduced Total Harmonic Distorsion (THD) of 2.7 times compared to the THD produced by the SPWM control strategy. In addition, regulation of the symmetrical components during load unbalance is ensured so that the inverter always delivers constant and balanced voltages.
Integral Backstepping Control of Induction Machine
Authors: Benheniche Abdelhak , Berrezzek Farid
Published: September 2021

The goal of this work is to propose a latest design of a rotor speed and rotor flux modulus control approach for an induction machine using a Backstepping corrector with an integral action. The advantage of the Backstepping Strategy is the ability to manage a nonlinear system. The Lyapunov theory has been used to ensure the system stability. To improve the controller robustness proprieties the integral action is used, despite the system uncertainties and the existence of external disturbances. The unavailable rotor flux is recovered by estimation of the rotor flux of the machine based on the integration of the stator voltage expressions. The simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme under load disturbances, rotor resistance variation and low and high speed.

Системный анализ «ложной инфляционной спирали» (ЛИС)
Authors: Полякова И.С.
Published: September 2021

В статье изучен эффект «ложной инфляционной спирали» – при росте ключевой ставки начинается так называемый массовый психоз роста цен: производители, подгоняемые жадностью и страхом, «закладывают» индекс инфляции в себестоимость своей продукции, боясь потери доходов будущих периодов. То есть необходимо учитывать психологию производителей товаров и услуг, которые под влиянием СМИ искусственно раскручивают цены, не имея на это объективных причин, запуская «ложную инфляционную спираль», которая впоследствии приводит реальному росту цен на товары и услуги.

Authors: Njaya Tavonga , Mazuru Nelson
Published: September 2021

The study reflected on the impact of new farming methods on the management of woodlots in A1 resettlement areas in Mashonaland Central Province in Zimbabwe. Data for the study were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations and documentary review so as to triangulate the evidence. A structured household questionnaire was used to collect socio-economic and production data pertaining to A1 farms. The study revealed that the use of wood fuel in tobacco curing has contributed to the destruction of woodlots. Meanwhile, there is a gradual breakdown of local systems for natural resource management and the dearth of any emerging alternative institutions. The study recommended the integration of positive elements of traditional institutional set up of local communities to ensure sustainable use of natural resources and continued livelihood streams. The government should provide and empower A1 farmers with expertise on extension methods that focus on conservation and agricultural technologies that are environmentally friendly.
Finance For Growth and Policy Options for Emerging and Developing Economies: The Case of Nigeria
Authors: Olayiwola Wumi , Okodua Henry , Osabuohien Evans S
Published: September 2021

Finance is generally regarded as important for economic growth, but the role of finance in economic growth is a controversial issue in the economic literature. The concept of “finance for growth” refocuses the relationship between finance and economic growth by redirecting the role of government policies in finance, and recognizes how finance without frontiers is changing what government policies can do and achieve. The focus of this paper is not to join the debate, nor to analyse the impact of financial development on economic growth, but to discuss the concept of “finance for growth” within the context of emerging and developing economies. The increasing development needs of Emerging Market Economies (EMEs) to raise per capita income, reduce unemployment rate, construct and maintain basic infrastructure, and invest more in human capital, make the role of finance for growth in these economies indispensable. The paper reviews the financial policies in selected EMEs including: China, South Africa and Nigeria and attempts to situate the Nigerian economy among the EMEs within the context of Finance for Growth. The paper notes that financial policies designed in various EMEs had the similar goal of making the financial system to provide key financial functions. However, large differences exist in the efficiency of the financial system in each country. The paper found that what matters to economic growth is access to financial services or financial inclusion and not which sector supplies the funds. The paper suggests appropriate policy options to build confidence in the Nigerian financial system.
Multicultural Personality and Cross-Cultural Adjustment among Sojourners in New Zealand
Authors: Rozaimie Awang , Huzaimah Siti , Morni Affidah
Published: September 2021

Different parts of the world are offering sojourners with a variety of socio-cultural experiences. The inability to understand the variation triggers psychological, physical or behavioural difficulties, and maladjustment or misunderstanding. It is discovered that cross-cultural underestimation is the root of intercultural resistance, stereotyping, ethnocentrism and racism sentiments among sojourners. The online survey was conducted in the present study to comprehend the role of multicultural personality traits on sojourners’ cross-cultural adjustment. With snowball method and a purposive sampling, 55.5% of response rate was obtained among Malaysian sojourners in the New Zealand. Basically, the manifestation of self and other’s affection, behavioural and contextual variations amplify the rationalisation and contradictory nature of cultural variation. Highlighted, social initiative is a sole important multicultural personality trait which perceived as vital to the success of sojourners’ cross-cultural adjustment abroad. The implication of the study is discussed.
Critical Reflections and Recommendations Derived from Providing Over 20,000 Hours of Practicum Industry Placements for Tertiary Students in Exercise Science, Sport and Fitness
Authors: Walsh Joe , Walsh Tom , Heazlewood Ian Timothy , Climtein Mike
Published: September 2021

More than 30 of the 43 universities in Australia offer an exercise science and/or sport science degree programs. In the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector, more than 160 Registered Training Organisations offer Australian Government approved fitness training courses. The paper is a self-reflective exercise based upon mentoring placement students from multiple registered course providers from the VET sector fitness strand. Combined with reflection on apparently healthy general population hours for placement students from six Sydney city and one regional New South Wales based universities this represented evaluation of more than 200 students and more than 20,000 placement supervision hours. This observation was based upon student placements conducted over the previous seven years, though a significant proportion of the students surveilled were from the previous 36 months. A number of recommendations were developed that may be relevant not just for health, fitness and exercise and sport science courses, but also may be relevant to industry mentorship across a range of fields.

Published: September 2021

This study-examined the extent of adoption of competitor focused accounting (CFA) in selected manufacturing firms listed on Nigerian Stock Exchange with a view to establishing whether there are differences in financial performance of the firms. The study is descriptive in nature and uses survey techniques. Accordingly, two-hundred and twenty four (224) key respondents in the Nigerian manufacturing industry were surveyed. This is complimented with secondary data collected from annual accounts and reports of fifty six (56) manufacturing companies listed in the Nigerian stock exchange. In addition to descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (F- Ratio) and scheffes’ (fs) test were used in analyzing collected data. The result of the study revealed that 14 companies representing (25%) were non-adopters of competitor focused accounting methods, 36 (64.3%) were partial adopters while 6 (10.7%) were full adopters. In addition, the mean financial performance of full adopters of CFA methods was 25.1 greater than that of partial adopters and also 45.71 greater than non-adopters. This shows a large difference. On the other hand, partial adopters’ mean financial performance was 20.61 greater than that of non adopters of CFA methods. However, this study proves that the practice of CFA in Nigerian manufacturing companies is still below average and the necessity to improve this situation is the current challenge. Manufacturing firms in Nigeria should give priority to strategic management accounting and it sub-divisions especially CFA in other to enhance its competitive edge over competitors.

Authors: Shafi Khuram , Hua Liu
Published: September 2021

Countries suffering from a shortage of oil reserves or importing oil are trying to reduce the oil consumption. But this can be only possible if alternatives of oil reserves are available. The factors affecting exchange rate are inflation, interest rate, foreign direct investment, government consumption expenditure and balance of trade. This paper seeks to identify the impact of oil prices and risk exposure of exchange rate volatility on economic growth in Russian economy on annual data of from year 1971 to 2012. Based on results it is estimated that imports, exports, inflation, interest rate, government consumption expenditure and foreign direct investment has a significant impact on real effective exchange rate in the long run and short run. Secondly, Engle Granger results indicate that relationship is significant in the long run and its error correction adjustment mechanism in short runs is significant and correctly signed for Russia.
Causality Relationship between Tourism, Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth in Taiwan
Authors: Yu-Chi Sung , Lin Hung-Pin
Published: September 2021

This study attempts to investigate the existence of Granger causality and cointegrated relationships among international tourist arrivals (ITA), foreign exchange income (FEI), foreign direct investment (FDI), and economic growth (GDP) using Taiwan’s tourism data from 1976 to 2016. The cointegrated results confirm the existence of long-run relationships among the variables, and the Granger causality results show that there is a bi-directional causality between GDP and ITA. In addition, there is a unidirectional causality running from one to another in each pair of these variables, while there is no causality between ITA and FDI. Based on such causality evidence, policy implications reveal that to promote GDP, paying attention to FDI to expand ITA is a feasible policy to achieve economic growth.

Authors: Prates Juliana Costa Ribeiro , Porto Wellington Silva , Freitas Maurício Assuero Lima de , Anjos Luiz Carlos Maques dos
Published: September 2021

Objetivo: Compreender como os shareholders do setor bancário da B3 tiveram seus investimentos impactados frente à introdução da obrigatoriedade da divulgação da remuneração dos executivos no Brasil, em decorrência da publicação da IN CVM 480/2009.
Método: Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foi feita uma análise de comparação de médias condicionais com o uso de vetores autorregressivos (VAR), para identificação da quebra estrutural e da metodologia de estudo de eventos.
Principais resultados: Os resultados mostram que houve quebra estrutural da média de retorno acionário assim como da taxa de crescimento da remuneração média dos executivos, apresentando impacto negativo no período posterior à regulação. O impacto negativo advindo da regulação foi captado pelo modelo no mês seguinte à publicação da IN CVM 480/2009 e nos 3 dias após a regulação.
Relevância/Originalidade: Os resultados são importantes aos reguladores e demais participantes do mercado, pois indicam a mudança na percepção dos participantes do mercado a partir da regulação, mostrando que a regulação pode modificar os contratos de compensação dos executivos e assim, promover o alinhamento de interesses dentro do setor financeiro.
Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: O estudo contribui para o entendimento dos efeitos da regulação na remuneração dos executivos do setor financeiro brasileiro. Além disso, contribui para a literatura ao estimular o debate acerca das especificidades do setor bancário brasileiro sobre o desenvolvimento de mecanismos de governança corporativa voltados ao setor, como forma de mitigar a tomada de riscos que tende a comprometer toda a economia do país. Os resultados também são importantes aos reguladores, na medida em que sugerem que a regulação foi benéfica na redução do conflito de interesses entre agente e principal. Além disso, a contribuição metodológica consiste em utilizar-se o modelo VAR (Vetores Autorregressivos) paralelamente ao estudo de eventos, reforçando a originalidade da pesquisa e promovendo melhor aprofundamento dessa temática.
Formation of Gender Identity of Preschoolers is an Important Aspect of Socialisation of an Individual
Authors: Kostyk Liubov , Kostyk Vasyl
Published: September 2021

Children's gender perceptions are actively formed in preschool age and are an integral component of person's gender identity. The formation of sexual identity of a child continues from 2 to 7 years, and the formation of his/her imagination occurs in the process of socialization through: identification, imitation, following, modeling, direction, self-determination, encouragement, self-acceptance, self-reflection, cognitive dissonance. Child masters the social norms, patterns of behavior and cultural values of his/her nation. The gender approach to the upbringing of the preschool children should be focused on the formation and establishment of equal, gender-independent opportunities for self-realization of the individual. However as practical experience shows, the gender component and its methodological data are insufficient in terms of the content of preschool education. In preschool institutions, gender education takes place spontaneously, educators use the traditional approach to forming child's self-esteem and his stereotypes of self-perception only on the basis of gender, so it is important today to pay more attention to gender education and socialization.

Authors: Dârlă (Ionescu) Ileana Constanţa
Published: September 2021

At all levels of education, learning assessment is generally considered to be an essential part of teachers' work. For early childhood educators, ie those who work with children from birth to age six, there are special considerations that stem from the characteristics of those trained and the nature of early learning. This paper reviews research on the formative assessment of early learning and development. In this way, important theoretical constructs related to early learning are explored and research on key aspects of early childhood learning is synthesized. We discuss the methods that are most useful for painting a richer picture of early learning and development. Some of the challenges inherent in formative assessment in early childhood are also highlighted and discussed.

Published: September 2021

Nowadays, the development of adult education as an important lifelong learning component is conditioned not only by the dynamics of social, scientific and technological progress, changes in the scope and nature of work, increasing leisure time, and opportunities for its rational use but also by the social role of both society and personality. Non-formal youth and adult education is becoming important in the context of ensuring the sustainable and balanced development of society. For the past two decades, adult education as a component of lifelong learning has been a defining goal of education policy in developed countries at the national and international levels. Adult education is considered a social indicator of the state policy human dimension, one of the ways to achieve socio-economic well-being, and a tool for promoting the ideas of the information and knowledge society. The problem of ensuring access to lifelong learning is becoming a priority, and its solution is possible only taking into account the achievements of foreign countries, including European ones, which are reviewed in the article (Austria, Poland, Liechtenstein, France, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Ukraine). The article outlines the European countries` experience in the field of adult education and describes a network of lifelong learning institutions; it is identified strategic directions for the development of continuing education.
A Combination of Professional and Personal Qualities in the Choir Conductor
Authors: Niemtsova Liliya
Published: September 2021

The article outlines the problem of combining professional and personal qualities in the choir conductor. Research gaps in the profession of choir conductor are outlined. We established that the art of conducting, and choral performance as its component, currently requires professionally trained personnel, who have an active life position and are able to provide a creative approach to choral singing. It was found that conducting should be interpreted as a creative process characterized by a step-by-step structure and a combination of analysis and comprehension of the choral score, its artistic interpretation, which allows embodying the formed musical image in the real choral sound. It was found that the conductor’s professional qualities are based on the conductor’s individual style or his “creative method”. It is established that the emotional sphere of the conductor is the result of a combination of qualities that will allow the conductor and the choir to demonstrate a bright and convincing revelation of the originality of texture, expressive timbre colors of numerous choral scores, and a rich palette of nuances.

Authors: Popa Maria Cristina
Published: September 2021

The article is based on a multinational study involving five countries (Romania, Portugal, Italy, North Macedonia, and Iceland) facing the return migration or remigration situation. Pupils (n = 1615), teachers (n = 370), future teachers (n = 166) and youth workers (n = 30) were questioned about various aspects regarding the subject. Among the matters, cultural needs appear to the most important. Based on the statistical analysis, the article describes the dynamics of the dependent variables, with highlighted interest on cultural needs. Psychological and social needs, cultural needs, and educational needs are discussed and link conclusions appear. Following the analysis, an intervention plan is built and tailored activities for teachers are proposed. Breaking stereotypes is a sensitive aspect of the intervention for the integration of remigrated children in the country of origin. The paper presents a possible intervention plan, with the elaborated activities and argues the elaborative process by calibrating each interference with the dynamics of the studied variables.
Main Principles of Using Audiovisual Method in Teaching the Native Language to Children of Pre-School Age in the Ukrainian Diaspora of The USA and Canada

Published: September 2021

In the national educational system of the Ukrainian diaspora of the USA and Canada the pre-school period covers the first stages of extra-familiar education, where establishing of child’s consciousness and connecting to spiritual values of the Ukrainian nation are taking place. Efficiency of this process depends on multiple factors. A significant role among them is played by didactic provision of educational-instructional process in pre-school educational institutions of various kinds whose main aim is to form national consciousness of the pupils through acquiring the Ukrainian language, as well as mastering contents of Ukrainian Studies subjects. Pedagogues at Ukrainian pre-school institutions in diaspora conditions clearly understand that the task of bringing up a child before the age of 6 implies providing them with various, beneficial for growing and useful for them, qualities. That is why teachers contribute to children acquiring such knowledge, abilities and skills which would help them to successfully prepare for elementary school in the future. Since the main task of Ukrainian pre-school education lies in development of a child’s personality by means of Ukrainian Culture studies, a pedagogue (teacher) has to know Ukrainian and all subjects well.

In the third chapter named, the research methodology” I will try to analyse haw children are affected during the assessment and haw high their level of anxiety is when they are faced with these situations. Also, in performing the processing and interpretation of the data from this research, the statistical method was used. Thus, after centralizing the results of the students participating in the study, we reached the following conclusions: during the tests some of students trembled their hands, often students forget what they have learned or have problems in remembering. Many students do not give 100% performance when undergoing tests because they are stressed, became anxious and they block. The teacher has to teach children that the role of testing is to figure out where you went wrong or what needs to be improved. From study the material needed for this paper I was able to discover what each child (even myself) felt and lived when he heard the word, test”.

Shattering tolerance in Brassica napus L.
Authors:   Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan, Khalid Muhammad Nouman
Published: September 2021

Brassica is the second-largest oilseed crop after Soybean. The total production of Brassica in the overall world is 71 million tons. In Pakistan, its total production per unit area is very low. Biotic and abiotic stresses mainly affect the brassica crop. In agriculture, shattering is the dispersal of crops seeds before their ripening. The pod wall shatters and breaks apart when it loses its hydration and cells split in a dehiscence zone organized at a suture between the edge of the lignified pod and the vascular tissue replum. The degeneration of middle lamella and loss of cellular cohesion in the dehiscence zone are the main reasons for pod shattering and seed losses. Grain yield losses in Brassica vary from 10 to 25 percent due to shattering. More than 400 kg has-1 or 12% seed losses can be occurred due to pod shattering under unfavorable conditions. Insect pest and disease damage also accelerate ripening and pod shattering. The main breeding techniques for developing rapeseed grain yield potential are a good knowledge and application of the morphological, physiological, and genetic basis of grain yield. Modern technologies, such as embryo rescue, marker-assisted breeding, and novel variation (mutation), may make it much simpler to introduce new rapeseed types having shattering tolerance than traditional methods. Thus, an overview of anatomical and physiological aspects and genetics of shattering is presented in the context of recent advances in molecular genetics and several agronomic managements to avoid shattering in Brassica.
