Corporate Governance and Investors’ Decision in Quoted Deposit Money Bank in Nigeria
Authors: Marughu Aimonomhe Jafaru , Nwaobia Appolos Nwabuisi
Published: November 2020

Investment decision involves risk and uncertainty. An investor makes the choice of where and what to commit funds into for future returns. Studies have shown that due to pressure to satisfy investors’ desire and to make their company attractive to investors, corporate managers manipulate financial books and pay dividends to shareholders on profits not earned. This practice may lead to wrong investment decisions by investors. This study examined corporate governance and investors’ decision in quoted deposit money banks in Nigeria.

Ex-post facto research design was employed. The research population comprised the fifteen deposit money banks quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange as of December 31, 2017. Total enumeration method was used. Validated data were obtained from the Nigerian Stock Exchange and audited financial statements of the sampled deposit money banks. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Results indicated that corporate governance proxies of board size, board composition and audit quality jointly had a significant and positive effect on volume of shares traded (F(4,130) =13.43; Adj. R2 = 0.0753; p = 0.0093); corporate governance and control variables of firm size and profitability had a joint and positive effect on volume of shares traded (F(6,126) =20.15; Adj. R2 = 0.0654; p = 0.0026).

The study concluded that corporate governance affects volume of shares traded and firm size and profitability of firms have controlling influence on volume of shares traded. Management and board of directors should imbibe transparent corporate governance culture in their organizations to attract investors when making investment decision.
Design Analysis of a Portable Manual Tyre Changer
Authors: Wofuru-Nyenke Ovundah King
Published: November 2020

In this paper, an efficient, affordable, and portable manual automobile tyre changing tool was designed. The tool operates on the principle of second-class levers, where the load to be overcome is situated between the fulcrum and the effort point. The mechanical advantage (MA) of the bead breaker arm and pry bar assembly of the tool was determined to be 11.5. The standard tube size of the bead breaker arm that can withstand stress due to bending moment was determined to be a 2” (50mm) diameter Schedule 80 steel tube. Also, the dimensions of the standard hexagonal bolts to be used at the fulcrum and load point of the bead breaker arm are M12 × 1.5 × 75 mm, while the standard size of hexagonal nuts to be used with the bolts is M12 × 1.5 mm with a height of 10mm. Moreover, the mechanical advantage (MA) of the mount/demount arm and pry bar assembly of the tool was determined to be 5.22. Also, by comparing the angles of twist of two sizes of the mount/demount arm when the tool is used in mounting or demounting a tyre on a 16” × 7” wheel rim, the standard size of the mount/demount arm that can withstand stresses due to bending moment and torsional moment was determined to be a 60mm × 60mm × 5mm square tube. The cost of materials needed to fabricate the tyre changer summed up to ₦21,000. Ergo, the design provides an alternative portable and relatively affordable tyre changing tool that can be afforded by tyre technicians across Nigeria, and other developing or underdeveloped countries.
A New Idea for LNG Trade: Enhancing Market Competition through a Tanker-Based Trading System
Authors: HASHIMOTO Satoru
Published: November 2020

This study proposes a new idea for liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade based on Japan’s natural gas market. As part of their high rate of economic growth in recent decades, many Asian countries, including Japan, have constructed natural gas supply chains that are characterized by natural monopolies and vertically integrated companies. In addition, although Japan has a 50-year history of LNG imports, its domestic natural gas distribution mechanisms are not designed to create connections among markets. Therefore, domestic spot and futures markets have never operated efficiently. To promote Japanese domestic market competition, this study proposes a “tanker-based trading system” involving LNG tankers owned by a consortium of Japanese firms and supported by the Japanese government. This trading system would enhance the market efficiency of LNG-based operating countries. Thus, a spot market for natural gas in Japan and East Asia can be created using LNG tankers, and the natural gas trading system in Japan can play a role in spot markets similar to the Henry Hub and the National Balancing Point.

Madame de Staël ou le plaidoyer pour une vie seconde : le théâtre
Authors: Malița Ramona
Published: November 2020

"Madame de Staël or the Necessity of a Second Life: The Theatre. Our contribution proposes an incursion into literary history at the time of the First Wave of French Romanticism. The subject of the investigation is Madame de Staël’s experimental theatre and the dramatic seasons that she organized between 1804 and 1811 in Coppet and Geneva. Our conclusions are twofold: on the aesthetic side, Coppet’s dramatic representations had the role of changing the aesthetic and literary canons of the early 19th century; on the historical side, the Coppet Group is one of the first romantic cenacles whose resounding literary activity was the theatre.

Keywords: Madame de Staël, Coppet, Geneva, experimental theatre, French Romanticism, aesthetic and literary canons, 19th century literature, romantic theatre."
L’impromptu en question : de Molière à Giraudoux et à Ionesco
Authors: Titieni Livia
Published: November 2020

"The Impromptu in Question: From Molière to Giraudoux and Ionesco. The starting point of this research is a line from Eugène Ionesco’s play The Alma Impromptu: “theatre, of course, changes, for the theatre is life. It’s changing like life”. The author of this article aims to verify the viability of this assertion by analysing the following plays: Molière’s The Versailles Impromptu, Giraudoux’s The Paris Impromptu, and Ionesco’s The Alma Impromptu. This constitutes an investigation on some grounding points of the topic. The critical meta-text is focused on aspects such as the status of the playwright, the purpose of theatre, the fabrication of the dramatic text, the relation author/text/comedian/public and the status of theatre as a social phenomenon rooted in the lifeline of collective existence. However, the meta-text is constantly scrambled by a certain form of auto-referential writing unveiling its own mechanisms, the creative process being the play on its own. Molière puts himself on stage while writing his play, as author, director and comedian, Giraudoux shows himself through his character Jouvet, Ionesco places himself on stage while writing his play, being disrupted by three characters, “Ph.Ds in theatrology” who write a play themselves, encasings present in Molière and Giraudoux’s works as well. Consequently, the reflection on dramatic arts shows, in its essence, the same poetics and/or poïetics, the mirroring games favouring structural and thematic duplications, and depicts the evolution of technical devices and creative specificity shared with an audience more and more discerning.

Keywords: poetics, mise en abyme, meta-text, meta-theatricality, verismo, illusion."
Écran et roman sur la scène. Réflexion croisée sur trois spectacles de Krystian Lupa
Authors: Protar Camille
Published: November 2020

"Screen and Novel on Stage: a Cross Reflection on three Krystian Lupa’s Shows. Through the analysis of three shows – City of dream based on The Other Side by Alfred Kubin, Gargoyles and Cutting Timber based on Thomas Bernhard’s novels – this article aims at highlighting the specificity of on-stage video in Krystian Lupa’s work. Best known for his adaptations of long novels focusing on conscience and interiority, Lupa supersedes a basic use of video and uses it as a real means for the exploration of the characters’ psyche. More than a mere visual element facilitating the transition from novel to stage, video is for Krystian Lupa a way to interrogate the relationship between all the elements of theatre: indeed, it questions the actor’s relationship to the character he embodies, as well as the relationship between the spectator and what happens on stage.

Keywords: Krystian Lupa, Alfred Kubin, Thomas Bernhard, video, adaptation of novel, character, actor."
Éros el memorioso
Authors: Fierro María Angélica
Published: November 2020

La vinculación entre el amor y la memoria es parte de toda experiencia humana. Rescataré aquí elementos que la cultura helena y la filosofía platónica nos aportan para reflexionar sobre esta vivencia universal. Para ello rastrearé el nexo que la tradición griega establecía entre la memoria, en tanto acopio del acervo cultural y capacidad individual de preservar conocimientos, y el amor como la emoción que nos afecta en el estado enamoramiento pero que tenía también una proyección política y cósmica. Luego, exploraré la concepción platónica del amor como fuerza que constituye la existencia humana y cuya tarea de procreación en la belleza contribuye a la formación de la memoria colectiva e individual, y, a través de ella, de la identidad personal. Finalmente, referiré a la reminiscencia como recuperación del conocimiento del entramado de la realidad done el enamoramiento es un facilitador para la rememoración de la belleza pura y eterna.

Modeling the Factors Influencing the Adoption of a Map-Based Disaster Application in Indonesia: A Case of SIKK Magelang
Authors: Sari Kartika Puspita , Kanegae Hidehiko
Published: November 2020

Indonesia has high exposure to natural hazards, frequent disaster events, and a highly vulnerable population. Hence, risk communication and disaster information dissemination are crucial to reducing risks. Numerous disaster mobile applications (apps) with location-based services or maps already exist for facilitating risk communication to the public; however, availability does not automatically translate into use or adoption. Therefore, to understand the factors influencing the adoption of a map-based disaster app, the factors that affect the adoption of a local government-initiated map-based disaster app in Indonesia, namely Sistem Informasi Kebencanaan Kabupaten Magelang, or Disaster Information System of Magelang Regency (SIKK Magelang), were examined through the theoretical lenses of a combined information system (IS) success model. Partial Least Squared – Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM), with the help of Smart-PLS, was used to examine the hypothesized relationships among the proposed constructs (latent variables). Nine exogenous latent variables were proposed as the antecedents of intention to use a map-based disaster application (the endogenous latent variable), including information quality, system quality, familiarity with online maps, perceived usefulness, user satisfaction, facilitating conditions, risk perceptions, information seeking behavior, and perceived quality of the Internet connection. Information-seeking behavior was also predicted to be influenced by risk perception. A questionnaire survey with an app trial was conducted in Magelang Regency for data collection. The study results confirmed the applicability of the combined IS success model frameworks in predicting the adoption of this map-based disaster app by the public. Although new constructs representing disaster-related online maps and familiarity with those maps were initially proposed in the contextual model, the model validation results showed that intention to use SIKK Magelang was significantly influenced only by perceived usefulness and user satisfaction. Practically, this study’s results offer guidance to the local emergency managers in Indonesia, especially Magelang Regency, regarding how to develop strategies to increase the app’s adoption.

Authors: Zyleva N.V.
Published: November 2020

Subject. This article discusses the practice of ensuring the economic security of oil and gas companies operating under the terms of production sharing agreements, where minerals are the object of security.
Objectives. The article aims to justify the need to apply professional judgment in the organization of reliable accounting of minerals, explored and extracted under the terms of the production sharing agreement implementation, to avoid various risks to the entity's economic security.
Methods. For the study, I used the methods of deduction and modeling.
Results. The article presents proposals to arrange accounting of intangible exploration assets (geological information on mineral reserves) and finished products (the part of the extracted minerals owned by the investor and the part owned by the State).
Conclusions. As strategic minerals, oil and gas are the targets of various economic risks. Professionals familiar with the specifics of accounting operations in the implementation of the production sharing agreement should be prepared to prevent these risks. The results obtained can be used to design accounting policies and develop local regulations on the tasks and functions of the economic security service of the organization implementing the production sharing agreement.

Authors: A. Madhat  Khoshnaw Ganjina J.
Published: November 2020

Investigation to improve the performance of the pervious concrete is required through possible modifications in its properties, as it is utilized in different applications through civil engineering projects, especially in pavements. To save time and costs, such pavements should serve and explore to the traffic and the users as soon as possible. Concretes should be cured for at least 28 days to gain sufficient strength to withstand applied loads. To shorten this period, studying the properties of plain pervious concrete in terms of the mechanical properties and the permeability was undertaken. Single sized natural coarse aggregate conducted at constant water-to-cement ratio of 0.27 with cement content of 450 kg/m3, four curing period and two curing system (moist and steam) as experimental parameters were followed in this study. The results compared the two systems of curing for plain pervious concrete samples to show the effects of high temperature regime on the mechanical and permeability properties. The elevated temperature improved the mechanical properties in earlier ages but has no effect on the permeability while the steam curing resulted in an increase in modules of elasticity.
New Research on the Early Neolithic Enclosed Settlement Kayukovo-2 in the North of Western Siberia
Authors: Kardash Oleg V. , Chairkina Nataliia M. , Dubovtseva Ekaterina N. , Piezonka Henny
Published: November 2020

Purpose. The article presents results of new research at one of the most prominent Early Neolithic enclosed settlements in the North of Western Siberia – the stronghold of Kayukovo-2, which is characterized by a regular architectural plan with one central and five surrounding buildings, pottery of a specific shape and type, including flat as well as conical bases and complex ornamentation, and an original complex of stone artefacts.
Results. In 2018, the investigation of building structure no. 4 was continued; for the reconstruction of the paleo-landscape, soil samples were investigated in the adjacent peatland, new radiocarbon dates were obtained, and analyses of the material complex represented by fragments of ceramics, products from clay-like raw materials and clay, stone artefacts, and clusters of small bone fragments was carried out. Building no. 4 was identified as a semi-sunken dwelling structure with a hearth in the centre, a small connecting corridor to building no. 7, and a link to the large central building no. 6. In 2019, new trenches confirmed the existence of a ditch circumscribing the settlement complex. Palaeoenvironmental research shows that during the period of use of the site, the closest water body was located c. 100 m from the terrace shore. The radiocarbon dates available up to now indicate a time of functioning of the ancient settlement in the first centuries of the 6th millennium cal BC. The ceramic material belongs to the complex of early flat-based hunter-gatherer pottery of Western Siberia, a tradition which probably spread from the Baraba forest-steppe and the Ishim region to the Northern Trans-Urals around 6000 cal BC.
Conclusion. The reasons for the emergence of the northernmost fortified settlements in Eurasia among hunter-gatherer communities with complex architecture and specific ceramics, the role of internal socio-cultural mechanisms and external influences, and environmental factors in their formation continue to be under discussion and require further research.
The Issue of Western Siberia’s “Flat-Bottomed” Neolithic Research (Chrono-Stratigraphic Aspect)
Authors: Bobrov Vladimir V.
Published: November 2020

Purpose. The article outlines three large provinces on the Asian territory of Russia which determine morphology of Neolithic ceramic ware (Amour River region and border areas of Far East and Pacific Ocean islands; Trans-Baikal region and Eastern Siberia, Western Siberia). Western Siberia is a territory where, in the Neolithic Age, such traditional shapes as round-, point- and flat-bottomed ones were spread. At the same time, inside the region, two areas – Western (trans-Ural and North-Western regions of Barabinskaya forest-steppe) and Eastern (Barabinskaya forest-steppe, high Ob area, including forest-steppes of Altai, and its foothills, and Kuznetsk basin) are outlined. If in the western part two traditions have been determined, in the eastern part, only one tradition – round-bottomed ceramic ware, has been found so far. Morphological specifics of ceramic assemblages of the Neolithic in the trans-Ural region caused a polemic in solving the issue of their cultural and chronological attribution. The stratified sites of Andreevskaya Lake System were the base of the main line of reasoning. The article presents a critical analysis bringing into question the use of stratified sites of Andreevskaya Lake System Neolithic as the reference.
Results. The article suggests that the research of Taiga area sites, in particular Kondinskaya lowland, is the best approach to solve the main issues of flat-bottomed Neolithic of trans-Ural region in the actual conditions. In spite of its poor state of knowledge, the North of Western Siberia shows a relative stability of cultural tradition development. Synchronic and diachronic aspects of a zoned existence of round, pointed and flat bottomed Neolithic ceramic assemblages in the Taiga zone of Western Siberia is presented.
Conclusion. The paper analyses the stratigraphic situations on the sites and objects in North-West Baraba (Tartas-1, Ust-Tartas, Avtodrom-1 and 2) which proves the early age of the Neolithic assemblages with flat-bottomed ware. This allowed to draw the conclusion about the identical development processes in the Neolithic of Trans-Ural and Baraba.
Stone Inventory of Neolithic Sites with Flat-Bottomed Ceramics of the Trans-Urals Forest Zone
Authors: Kosinskaya Lyubov L.
Published: November 2020

Purpose. The earliest sites with different variants of flat-bottomed ceramics in the forest zone of Trans-Urals and Western Siberia date back to the 7th – the beginning of the 6th millennium BC. To understand the process of neolithization, it is important to ascertain the succession of their lithic industries with previous Mesolithic.
Results. A review of the Early Neolithic stone inventory reveals two distinct areas in the forest zone. The northern one (Lower Ob, Surgut Ob and Konda basin) is characterized by three technologies: direct percussion flaking and block-on-block knapping of quartz, with inexpressive rarely retouched tools such as scrapers and scaled pieces; percussion-abrasive technique for polished knives, arrowheads, adzes and axes; punch technique for flint inset bladelets, without any arrowheads. Although investigated Mesolithic sites are not numerous in this area, it is clear that the first two technologies arose in the North since that time, when the microblade technique was the dominant one. Lithic assemblages of Early Neolithic settlements in the southern forest zone (Middle Trans-Urals) are generally analogous to the local Mesolithic. The latter included the microblade industry similar to the northern one but supplemented by polished axes. In the Early Neolithic it was completed by arrowheads (tanged points). The inventory of Early Neolithic sites in the Ob-Irtysh forest-steppe region with similar flat-bottomed ceramics almost exclusively contains the flint blade industry resembling the Mesolithic one of the area.
Conclusion. Therefore, it is possible to trace traditions and innovations in stone-processing based on three groups of features. These are the types of available stone raw material and their own appropriate technologies, the preservation degree of microblade industry, the nomenclature and typology of implements. According to these traits, in each of the three districts, the Early Neolithic stone industry inherited traditions of the local Mesolithic, but developed in its own way.
The Pruth Campaign of 1711 – Military and Political Miscalculation or Personal Surrender of Peter I?
Authors: Dmitriev Andrei V.
Published: November 2020

The paper discusses the new monograph, published in 2019 by V. A. Artamonov, well-known researcher of the Petrine epoch. His book is dedicated to studying the military conflict between Russia and Ottoman empire in 1710–1713. The author shows clearly that Ottoman Sultan Ahmed III and his commander in chief Mehmed Pasha had no plan of any invasions to Russia, but wanted just return to the borders before 1696 in the Priazovye region. Peter I, planning his expedition to Moldavia in 1711, did not take to consideration the experience of Austrian and Polish campaigns against Ottomans in the end of the 17th century. This led to encirclement and blockade of the Russian army by the Ottoman forces on the Pruth river (July 9–12, 1711). Under these conditions Peter I could not make a decision to fight, but preferred to negotiate peace, although Russian army was quite able to defeat enemy. The Ottoman side willingly agreed to make peace, which was supported by giving almost 300.000 Rubles to commander in chief Mehmed Pasha and his staff. After that Russia lost some fortresses in the Priazovye region and political influence on the Christian peoples under Ottoman rule in the Balkans. This monograph could be highly recommended for academic scholars, teachers and students of higher education institutions.
Authority and the “Canon of Sacred Texts”, Created by Opponents of Church Reform
Authors: Guryanova Natalya S.
Published: November 2020

The article studies the conflict between secular and church authorities over the collection of extracts from ancient manuscripts and early printed books that were found by the defenders of the Old Belief in order to prove a violation of the tradition of the Russian Church as a result of the reform of the rite and liturgical practice. Quotes from the Holy Scripture, patristic tradition, and writings of church writers constituted the “canon of sacred texts” for the Old Believers, which was, in their opinion, equivalent to the Holy Scripture. Fragments of texts systematized according to the subjects were copied and distributed as manuscripts. By the importance of the problem to overcome schism secular and church authorities joined forces to solve it. This was especially evident in the activities of the Moscow Council of Russian Orthodox Church in 1681–1682. An analysis of the Council Decree allowed us to conclude that in the Proposal to the Council Feodor III Alexeyevich very precisely outlined the jeopardy of the “canon of sacred texts”. The monarch expressed worry of secular authorities about the distribution of manuscripts that increased the influence of Old Believers. In the Response of the Council, it was decided to stop the spread of “false letters” and do it together with the secular authorities. The article draws attention to the fact that the result of efforts of secular authorities was the execution of some Old Believers’ leaders. The church also did not stand aside and published Uvet Duhovnyi. The article shows, what position the author took with respect to the “canon of sacred texts” and how it reflected in his text. It is concluded that Archbishop Afanasy tried to convince readers that the Old Believer`s manuscripts, “bogomerzkie pisanye tetradki” (heretical handwritten notes), which contained extracts from the Holy Scripture and patristic tradition, had nothing in common with the true meaning of sources. Consequently, they could not argue the deviation of the reformers from the tradition of the Russian Church. The Archbishop Afanasy insisted that only “madness” could explain the doctrine of the defenders of the Old Belief.
