Praktik manajemen laba merupakan isu global yang penting dalam bidang pelaporan keuangan. Salah satu bentuk dari manajemen laba adalah perataan laba. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kecenderungan manajer perusahaan dalam melakukan perataan laba ditinjau dari aspek teori akuntansi positif; rencana bonus, perjanjian utang, dan biaya politik. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kuantitatif. Penelitian dilakukan pada sektor infrastruktur, utilitas, dan transportasi yang terdaftar dalam Bursa Efek Indonesia pada tahun 2015—2019 berdasarkan klasifikasi JASICA. Sampel diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling dengan total observasi sebanyak 90. Penelitian menggunakan tiga variabel independen, yaitu: rencana bonus (bonus plan), perjanjian utang (debt covenant), dan biaya politik (political cost). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketiga variabel yang dianalisis memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap kecenderungan manajer untuk meratakan laba. Walaupun ketiga variabel dihipotesiskan memiliki hubungan positif pada perataan laba, hanya biaya politik yang terbukti memiliki hubungan sesuai hipotesis. Implikasi teoritis pada penelitian ini dapat dijadikan sebagai pendukung teori sinyal dan teori akuntansi positif. Sementara, implikasi praktis bagi para investor dan kreditur adalah pembuatan keputusan berinvestasi yang lebih baik bagi para pemilik modal dan kreditur.

Cüce Eliptik Galaksiler (dwarf elliptical galaxies, dEs) galaksi küme evrimini anlamak için anahtar rol oynarlar. Bu çalışmada SMAKCED (Stellar content, MAss and Kinematics of Cluster Early-type Dwarf galaxies) projesinin bir parçası olarak Virgo galaksi kümesinde salt parlaklığı -19.0 < M$_r$ < -16.0 aralığında bulunan 37 dEs’nin yıldızlararası pupülasyon ve element bolluğu hesaplanmıştır. Yıldızlararası popülasyon analizi, yüksek çözünürlüklü tayfsal veriler ışığında soğurma çizgi genişlik indekslerin ölçülmesi, indeks-indeks diyagramları, temel parametre bağıntıları ve yıldızlararası popülasyon modellerinin kullanılması ile elde edilmiştir. Bu galaksilere ait yaş, metallik ve element bolluğu ${R}_{e}$/8 açıklığı içerisinde saptanmıştır. Bolluk analizinde [Na/Fe] NaD, [Ca/Fe] Ca4227 ve [Mg/Fe] Mgb çizgi indeksileri kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Bu hesaplamaların ışığında $\alpha$ elementi olan [Mg/Fe] güneş bolluğunda iken [Na/Fe] ın daha az bollukta olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu durum dev eliptiklerde bulunan durumun tamamen zıttıdır, ama bu trend NGC1396 Fornax cücesinin önceki çalışmaları ile uyum içerisindedir.Bu tür bolluk düzenlerine neden olabilecek olası senaryolar tartışılmış ve dE’lerin geç tip cüceler veya küçük spirallerden oluşabileceği disk benzeri yıldız oluşum tarihçelerine (Star Formation History, SFH) sahip olabileceği öngörüsünde bulunulmuştur. Na-verimliliği yıldızlardaki nötron fazlalığından dolayı metalliğe bağımlıdır. dEs önemli ölçüde kimyasal evrim geçirdikleri ve bu nedenle tek düze, yaşlı olmadıkları ancak Yerel Grup galaksilerin çoğuna benzer şekilde genişletilmiş SFH sahip olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

Published: May 2022

The paper deals with the planktonic algoflora of Dolgoe Lake in the Pskov Region. The studies were carried out in the summers of 2017-2020. The taxonomic composition of the phytoplankton of the lake was revealed, including 156 species and intraspecific taxa from 8 phylums: Chlorophyta, Bacillariophyta, Cyanobacteria, Charophyta, Ochrophyta, Dinophyta, Euglenophyta, Cryptophyta. The basis of the floral complex was made up of representatives of the phylums Chlorophyta and Bacillariophyta, as well as Cyanobacteria. The greatest similarity in the species composition of phytoplankton communities was noted in 2017 and 2019 (the Sierensen-Chekanovsky coefficient was 60%), the lowest - in 2018 and 2019, as well as in 2018 and 2020 (39%). The maximum quantitative development of microalgae was noted in 2019 (32,9 million cells/l), with 90,7% of the total number accounted for cyanobacteria Merismopedia minima G. Beck. The smallest number of planktonic algae was observed in 2020 - 1,3 million cells/l. The total biomass of phytoplankton was the highest in July 2019 - 0,45 mg/l, and the lowest in 2020 - 0,15 mg/l. According to the Milius trophic index, the waters of the lake are oligotrophic. According to the ecological and geographical characteristics, widespread freshwater species of phytoplankton prevailed in the lake, preferring slightly alkaline waters. Saprobiological analysis showed that the waters of Dolgoe Lake are moderately polluted and belong to the 3rd class of quality. The saprobity index of the Pantle-Buck, depending on the year of the study, varied from 1,80 to 1,98.

Published: May 2022

The purpose of the paper is to publish ceramic and stone collections of artifacts from the Neolithic era, obtained along with the materials of the early Middle Ages at the settlement of Staevo 10. The settlement is located on the Voronezh river within the Michurinsky District of the Tambov Region. It is part of a narrow hillock of a high floodplain on the right bank of the Voronezh River 2-2,5 m high from a low floodplain. The surface is turfed, but previously subjected to plowing. The work on the settlement of Staevo 10 continued the study of the surroundings of the trade and craft settlement of the early Middle Ages. The settlement of Staevo 10 is the largest of those known in its vicinity. In the settlement, 436 m of its area was explored by five excavations and 10 exploration pits were additionally laid to determine its boundaries. At all excavations, finds from the Neolithic era were found at the base of the cultural layer. Materials of the Neolithic Karamyshevskaya, Srednedonskaya and Lyalovskaya cultures of the second half of the 6th-5th millennia BC were identified. The stone inventory from the Staevo 10 site does not form stable series due to the small number of the collection. Most of the stone tools of the presented collection should still be attributed to the early Neolithic Karamyshevskaya culture; its ceramic materials are the most dominant at this site.

The paper considers a contribution of the Russian microbiologist Zinaida Vissarionovna Ermolyeva to the study of the antibacterial agent lysozyme in the 1930s. The author uses unpublished documents of the Russian State Archive of Economics, the State Archive of the Russian Federation, as well as specialized scientific publications. The scientist and the employees of Microbes Biochemistry Department of the Biochemical Institute named after A.N. Bach, which she headed, managed to study the properties of lysozyme, the peculiarities of its effect on various microorganisms under the influence of various factors, to discover new sources of it, as well as to conduct experiments on animals to determine the therapeutic effect. Zinaida Vissarionovna and her colleagues modified the method of obtaining pure lysozyme. The discoveries of Z.V. Ermolyeva are important due to the fact that after receiving positive results of the action of the studied drug, she immediately tried to introduce it into medical practice. The paper highlights the participation of the scientist in the All-Union Mendeleev Congress, as well as in the meetings of the specialized commission of the Scientific Medical Council of the Peoples Commissariat of Health of the RSFSR, which examined the successes of her department in the study of lysozyme. The scientific activity of Z.V. Ermolyeva in the 1930s was a powerful foundation on which, during the war, she worked to obtain a domestic antibiotic - penicillin.

The need for innovative technologies development contributing to the self-educational activities actualization and meeting both patterns of students development, their needs, and modern trends in the educational process organization at the university is indicated here. Noting the advantages of traditional and distance learning forms, their disadvantages are also identified when applied separately. Students needs in terms of choosing the format of study at the university are analyzed. The necessity to use the students digital potential with benefit and for the benefit, which consists in the fact that modern youth easily own various gadgets and spend most of their time on the Internet is shown in the paper. Based on the theoretical analysis carried out, the essence and content of the mixed learning technology is presented as an integration of traditional and electronic formats, organically combining pedagogical components, collectively ensuring the actualization of students self-educational activities. The content of the mixed learning technology is revealed as a series of consistently implemented stages (motivational, integration-activity, reflexive-evaluative). Reflection and formative assessment are of great importance at all stages of its implementation. A high degree of flexibility and adaptability of this technology in the educational space of the university is indicated in the paper.

The paper describes the way of pedagogical conditions implementation that ensures the development of self-organization and self-education competences among technical university students. The theoretical substantiation of the need to create an integral complex of such conditions at a technical university is presented, the definition of organizational, pedagogical, psychological and didactic conditions for the development of self-organization and self-education competences among students is given, and the means of their implementation developed by the authors are listed. The possibilities of the traditional subject content are shown on the example of the course Further Mathematics for the purposeful development of cognitive, personal and activity components of self-organization and self-education competences. Examples from the developed set of tasks for the course Further Mathematics are given, as well as tasks of a project and research nature. All these tasks are aimed at the development of such regulatory actions that are part of self-organization and self-education competences, as forecasting, goal setting, planning, control, reflection, as well as such qualities of thinking as flexibility (variability), rationality, speed. Some results of experimental verification of the developed tasks effectiveness (for the activity and personal components of self-organization and self-education competences) are presented, proving the expediency of using them in the educational process at the university. The methods described in the paper for the pedagogical conditions implementation that ensure the development of self-organization and self-education competences among students of a technical university are invariant with respect to the subject content and can be extended to teaching other disciplines.
Long Term Electricity Load Forecast Based on Machine Learning for Cameroon’s Power System
Authors: Lukong Terence K. , Tanyu Derick N. , Tatietse Thomas T. , Schulz Detlef
Published: May 2022

A reliable power supply has long been identified as an important economic growth parameter. Electricity load forecasts predict the future behavior of the electricity load. Carrying out a forecast is important for real-time dispatching of power, grid maintenance scheduling, grid expansion planning, and generation planning depending on the forecasting horizon. Most of the methods used in long-term load forecasting are regressions and are limited to predicting peak loads of a yearly or monthly resolution with low accuracy. In this paper, we propose a method based on long short-term memory-recurrent neural networks (LSTM-RNN) cells with relations between identified influential econometric load-driving parameters which includes: the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Population (H), and past Electric Load Data. To the best of our knowledge, the use of the GDP and H as two additional independent variables in load forecast modelling using machine learning techniques is a novelty in Cameroon. A comparison was performed between a linear regression (LR)-based long-term load forecast model (a model currently used by the Transmission System Operator of Cameroon) and LSTM-RNNs model constructed. The results generated were evaluated using a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) within the same period of evaluation, and the overall value of the MAPE obtained for LSTM-RNNs model was 5.4962 whereas that for the LR model was 7.5422. Based on these results, the LSTM-RNN model is considered highly accurate and competent. The model was used to generate a forecast for the period of 2022–2026 with an hourly resolution. A MAPE of 5.4962 was obtained with a computational time of approximately ten minutes, making the model vital for offline use by utilities due to its capacity to quantitatively and accurately predict long-term load with an hourly resolution.

Authors: Ikeda Atsuko. , Marini Pablo.R.
Published: May 2022

Considering only selection for increased weight gain until after one year could cause adult cow weight gain that would not be desirable depending on the production system.  To evaluate the relationship of weight at first calving and its relationship with productive indicators in Nelore cows in a grazing system of the Bolivian tropics. Retrospective data from the years 1992 to 2019 were used, which were part of two cooperatives: Agropecuaria Integral San Juan de Yapacaní and the Centro Tecnológico Agropecuario located in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. The data corresponding to 1052 Nelore primiparous cows were used for the research work. The lightest cows had the same calf weight at birth as the rest of the heaviest cows, weaned a lighter calf, arrived the first calving rapidly, showed no differences with the Accumulated Production and the Calf Index with the heaviest cows, but had the highest stock efficiency. Identifying the group of lightest cows as the most efficient was considered a positive tool to recommend producers to take into account at the time of selection. The study shows that the age at first calving is related to indicators of productive efficiency in Nelore cows in a grazing system of the Bolivian tropics and that their use would have a greater impact in identifying the most efficient cow for each production system.

Introduction special issue ‘Corona papers’

When the corona virus was reported in the Netherlands in March 2020, it also had a major impact on public administration. At that time it was still completely unclear which consequences would be temporary and which would be permanent, but it was immediately clear that it presented unique study material. There was every reason to quickly start describing, analysing and interpreting the first consequences of the fight against corona for politics, administration and policy, with a focus on local authorities. That is why in April 2020, with the support of the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, the ‘Corona papers’ research programme was set up by the Thorbecke Chair (Geerten Boogaard), in which a number of renowned scientists took part. Platform31 (Rogier van der Wal) was also involved. It took care of the accompanying website and newsletters and organised the final conference. Five of these ‘Corona papers’ have been revised and updated for this special issue.
De regio in Nederland: formaliseren en inbedden

The region in the Netherlands: formalising and embedding

A crisis brings existing vulnerabilities to the surface and clearly shows where the strong qualities of a society and its governance can be found. In the Netherlands, the corona pandemic has also exposed strengths and weaknesses according to that pattern. An important example of this is the region’s strong and complex position in our domestic governance. The author points out three lessons from the long post-war history of failed attempts to adjust the administrative organisation of our country. This leads to three proposals for embedding the region in the existing administrative organisation. The three steps would not be necessary if there were political support for a small adjustment to the administrative structure of the Netherlands, namely a reduction of the provincial scale. A step-by-step, cautious adjustment in the eyes of the author therefore gives more chance of success than a radical administrative reorganisation, which is doomed to fail in this country. For example, the cautious steps could be a prelude to a new and smaller provincial scale.

Techno-Economic Analysis of A Lead-Acid Battery-Supported Fuel Cell for A Stand-Alone Residential House in Turkey
Authors: AKTAŞ Muzaffer , DOĞAN Rasim
Published: May 2022

The penetration rate of renewable energy sources is increasing day by day. However, most depend on the weather conditions such as solar, wind, precipitation, etc. This dependency also creates reliability problems for stand-alone systems. Fuel cells are essential solutions to overcome these issues since they need hydrogen to produce electrical energy, one renewable energy source that does not depend on weather conditions. In this research, an end-user profile, isolated from the grid and provides its energy by using a battery-backed PEM fuel cell, has been technically investigated in the simulation environment within the scope of the scenarios created. So, the systems intended to be implemented in reality have been transferred to the simulation environment. During the operation, to prevent deep discharge and overcharge of the battery pack, the fuel cell is kept in operation between a minimum of 40% and a maximum 90% State of Charge (SoC). Based on this system, initial investment, operation, and maintenance costs for a battery-backed fuel cell supply system are calculated and presented. The battery-supported fuel cell system is 46% expensive for lower consumption cases and 63% more expensive for higher consumption cases than grid prices.
THE FUTURE IS NOW: ROBOTS AS SURGEONS THE ADOPTION OF SURGICAL SAFETY STANDARDS TO ROBOTIC SURGERY

Published: May 2022

In this era of ever-expanding and an all-pervasive existence of technology, newer innovations and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are shaking the established global legal systems from their roots by bringing in novel challenges and complexities. One of the most controversial questions in this area pertains to accountability and determination of liability how can a machine be held responsible/accountable and more importantly, how can a machine be sanctioned for its actions, especially where machine learning makes it possible for machines to take decisions itself? Artificial Intelligence has, amongst other fields, also entered the domain of medicine, where it poses massive legal challenges, especially in the area of surgery. As much as it aids both patients and doctors, it is difficult to determine liability and accountability of robots as surgeons, especially in cases where surgery results in fatality or great physical, emotional and/or psychological harm – should the doctor be responsible or the manufacturer of the robot or both? If all stakeholders are liable in some or the other manner, how should the liability be distributed? Such questions get more complicated where machine learning leads to implementation of erratic decisions by the robot and causes adverse consequences. This kind of exponential growth in medical technology is not being met by the legal dynamism which is slowly exacerbating the pacing problem and the gap is gradually widening. Before human dependence on robotics increases, it is essential for the legal framework to address such complexities and concerns. In this paper, I aim to address issues of regulation, accountability and liability that engulf the area of surgery and Artificial Intelligence along with recommending solutions to the pacing problem i.e. how the same can be resolved in the area of medicine and surgery.

To date, the total number of diagnoses with Covid-19 all over the world has reached 488 million and the number of deaths has reached 6.14 million. In this article, after making it clear my points of view about China’s measures on the pandemic, I will develop the arguments in detail through replying to the questions of (1) Is there really no other choices besides “living with Coronavirus?” (2) Is it really unnecessary to keep the “Zero Covid” policy? (3) Is the “Lying Flat” policy really useful? I will answer the above three questions by comparing Mainland China’s policy with China’s Hong Kong SAR and some other countries’ responses to the fifth wave of the pandemic.

Sistem monitoring lingkungan air secara realtime merupakan hal yang harus dilakukan dalam upaya menjaga ekosistem air pada negara maritim dan kepulauan, seperti contoh Indonesia yang memiliki kekayaan sumber daya air yang sangat besar. Dalam rangka mengintegrasikan sistem monitoring dengan teknologi big data untuk analisa realtime, kami mambangun sebuah sistem yang dinamakan SEMAR (Smart Environtment Monitoring and Analyttic in Realtime system), yang merupakan platform IoT-Big data untuk monitoring lingkungan air. Akan tetapi, SEMAR belum memiliki sistem analisa. Sehingga kami melakukan penelitian untuk membangun sistem analisa untuk klasifikasi kualitas air menggunakan metode Indeks Pencemaran, yang mana akan menjadi ekstensi buat sistem SEMAR. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan algoritma Linear SVM dan Decision Tree yang digunakan memiliki tingkat akurasi di atas 90% dan rata-rata MSE sebesar 0.019075. Sementara untuk waktu pemrosesan sistem SEMAR hanya membutuhkan rata-rata 0.5 detik untuk memproses data yang diterima hingga proses visualisasi.
