Published: December 2019

The effects of autotrophic and mixotrophic conditions on microalgae growth and nutrient removal efficiency from synthetic wastewater by different microalgae were investigated. Although several studies have demonstrated the suitability of microalgae technologies for ammonia-rich wastewater treatment, only a few have been used for treatment of phosphate-rich industrial wastewaters. In this work, six microalgae were cultivated in batch mode in a growth medium with a high phosphate concentration (0.74 Mm PO43−-P) and different carbon sources (ammonium acetate and sodium bicarbonate) without CO2 supplementation or pH adjustment. Their potential for nutrient removal and biomass generation was estimated. The biomass growth in the reactors was modeled and the data aligned to the Verhulst model with R2 > 0.93 in all cases. Chlorella pyrenoidosa ACUF_808 showed the highest final biomass productivity of 106.21 and 75.71 mg·L−1·d−1 in media with inorganic and organic carbon sources, respectively. The highest phosphorus removal efficiency was 32% with Chlorella vulgaris ACUF_809, while the nitrate removal efficiency in all reactors exceeded 93%. The coupled cultivation of the novel isolated strains of C. pyrenoidosa and C. vulgaris under mixotrophic conditions supplemented with ammonium acetate might be a promising solution for simultaneous nitrate and phosphate removal from phosphorus-rich wastewaters.

Fluency in reading is one of the important factors in language learning, especially foreign languages. Fluency in reading can be seen from understanding vocabulary, reading speed, rhythm and expression, also understanding the reading’s contents. Reading fluently is one of the effective learning methods to help for understanding the vocabulary and the content of the text. Reading fluency is needed by Korean leaners when working with Korean stakeholders. This study analyzes the fluency of Korean language learners in reading Korean texts using qualitative descriptive methods. This study found that the learning period and the Korean Language Proficiency Test score of the learner are not always directly assesed to leaner’s fluency in reading. Fluency in reading is also influenced by some factors, such as how much intensity and frequency of learners learn new vocabulary through text, and how instructors provide learning about morphology in how to read a word in Korean.

The Mandarin learners need a dictionary to facilitate their learning. Nowadays, there are three types of dictionaries that can be used, namely, dictionaries in book form, digital and online. Based on a year of observations, most Mandarin learners prefer a dictionary in book form compared with digital and online form. In Yogyakarta province, not all the dictionaries on the market are fulfill the quality standards, as we see from several dictionaries which was reviewed and analyzed. The results from our analysis showed that the Mandarin dictionaries on the market is not following the principles in Mandarin language, whether in terms of spelling, vocabulary, Han characters and sentence examples. Hence, we suggest that a Mandarin learners must take a cautious care when they are going to buy a dictionary in a book form, becuse that is going to determine the quality of the learners in learning Mandarin language.

Published: December 2019

The paper is devoted to investigation of the psychological characteristics associated with the verbal tasks solving in a situation of personal meaning initiation. The study involved 128 people aged 18 to 25 years. As psychological predictors of informational behavior, we investigated features of thinking, reflection, motivation and semantic sphere. The results of psychological diagnosis were processed using cluster analysis (K-means clustering) and Spearman's rank order correlation. Selected participants were visually presented with five open-type experimental tasks designed to model the situation of the initiation of personal meanings. As the result we were able to identify two strategies of personal meaning formation: 1) reflexive strategy – the answer builds up with a systemic comprehension of personal experience; understanding and operating with the meaning of information is based on the type of analysis of experience and selection of the answer that reflects the most deeply the meaning; and 2) associative strategy – the solution to the task occurs spontaneously, based on the current state by associating internal experiences with an abstract objects with the help of imagination.

Authors: Proshunin Maxim M.
Published: December 2019

The article is devoted to financial law issues on securities and derivatives market regulations. The article deals with the financial law nature of the relations that are emerging in the securities and derivatives markets through a review of methods and techniques of securities and derivatives market regulation. The author considers the public interest in the regulation of the securities and derivatives markets, as well as differences between different parts of securities and derivatives markets. The article contains the review of regulatory, compensatory and redistributive functions of the securities and derivatives markets. The author states that control of the securities and derivatives market has to be considered as independent type of state financial control in the Russian Federation. In addition, the securities and derivatives law have to be considered as a branch of financial law. The legal relations arising in course of issuance and circulation of state securities and entering into derivatives deals are separately reviewed and analyzed. It is proved that the basis for recognition of the securities and derivatives market as the financial law categories is similar to reasons proving the existence of public banking law, namely, stock market and derivatives as an integral parts of any financial market system, the presence of public interest in the regulation of relations in the securities and derivatives markets, the existence of a mandatory subject of legal relations, having a public authority (the Bank of Russia), the existence of subordination between the Bank of Russia and professional participants of the securities market where the Bank of Russia acts as a regulator and supervisory authority and wide scope of public law methods used for securities and derivatives market regulations.
GENOMIC RESEARCH LEGAL REGULATION SYSTEM: EXPERIENCE OF RUSSIA AND THE USA
Authors: Alimov Emil V.
Published: December 2019

This article is devoted to the analysis of the genomic research legal regulation in the Russian Federation and the USA. In the United States, in addition to the legislation great importance is attached to medical and scientific institutions self-regulation, and such information is usually open. It is concluded that in Russia, despite the presence of both state and non-state scientific institutions engaged in genomic research, the mechanism of self-regulation as a whole is fragmented. It is also noted that Russia and the United States have specific legal regulation of these relations, which is reflected in the text of the article. For example, in the United States, unlike Russia, most organizations conducting genomic research, including genomic testing, are non-governmental. Currently, the general trend in the legal regulation of genomic research in Russia and the USA is the active development of normative legal regulation. Moreover, a significant difference in the approaches of these countries is the active role of the US states in the development of regional legal regulation on these issues. Despite the fact that Russia is a federal state, the subjects of the Russian Federation are significantly limited in the genomic research legal regulation possibilities. This is largely due to both legal and political reasons that were given in this article. In the United States, a number of statutes have been adopted at the state level that regulate genomic research in such aspects as health insurance, confidential of personal information, the prohibition of discrimination, screening of newborns, and certain types of clinical and scientific research. It should be noted that the genomic research regulation in the United States is not integrated into a single national consolidated act, which is a feature of this legal system. A comparative legal study of the fundamentals of legal regulation and self-regulation of genomic research in Russia and the USA made it possible to understand the specifics of regulation of these issues in different legal systems. The positive regulatory experience in conducting genomic research in the United States can be used to improve the regulatory framework of the Russian Federation in this area.

The economic and legal active reform is the result of the active policy of the state in Vietnam. Over the past 30 years, a major economic leap which has helped to achieve a tangible result meanly the reduction of poverty has been made. The economic situation demonstrates constant growth. The extreme poverty rate has been reduced to below 3 per cent. After rising 6.8 percent in 2017, statistics indicate that GDP growth accelerated to 7.1 percent in 2018. Vietnam was the first state that signed a free trade Agreement (signed on May 29, 2015, entered into force on October 5, 2016) with Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). The Russian-Vietnamese high-level working group on priority investment projects, chaired by the Ministers of industry and trade, is an effective tool for promoting investment cooperation. The constant growth of economic cooperation between two countries makes necessary to develop mechanisms for disputes resolution. New economic relations need their legal consolidation and regulation. The diversity of economic relations leads to disputes, which require the development of an effective mechanism for their resolution. Judicial remedy is the most popular, therefore the same needs to be reformed.

Published: December 2019

The beginning of the next calendar year marks sixty years since the Patrice Lumumba University of Peoples' Friendship (later was renamed to Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, RUDN) was founded. Within these sixty years the Faculty of Economics and Law, the Faculty of Law have been operated until the Law Institute, maintaining continuity, took the place. As one of the university graduates and a student of prominent Soviet scholars who stood at the origins of several schools of comparative law that currently exist, the author attempted to follow the dialectical process of formation, development and systematization of the scientific school of comparative constitutional and municipal law that is connected not only with the special nature and features of teaching foreign and domestic students, but also with significant achievements in the field of preparation of candidates in and doctors in this specialty. Contrary to other universities, comparative legal analysis was using as a basis for preparation of domestic law specialists for the states set free from colonial dependence and that explains the choice of regional and country-specific research model for forms of government, administrative organizational structures, political regimes of leading Asian, African and Latin American states with “socialistic” or “capitalistic” orientation. These mentioned states took the path of independent civilizational development, came through the periods of sovereignization and “decolonization” of wide range of political, economic and social relations. The formation of the “grounds” for African, Latin American, ArabMuslim, Indian comparative studies is connected with the Department of Theory and History of State and Law, within which the scientific foundation of the school of comparative constitutional and municipal law was laid, the “baton was picked up”, at first, by the Department of Constitutional, Administrative and Financial law, and then by the Department of Constitutional and Municipal law, Constitutional law and Constitutional justice and Municipal law that maintained and updated the best traditions related to the training of Russian and foreign students, postgraduate students and doctoral students. At the present stage, comparative law is experiencing a new stage, caused by interest in the processes taking place in the United States and the European Union.
The effect of pedometer on blood pressure in patients with personalized physical activity counselling
Authors: ERTEKİN Yusuf Haydar
Published: December 2019

Introduction: The modern, electronic and trending method of studying the effect of the use of a pedometer on physical activity and hence the effect of body fat rate is a research topic.Methods: Participants were randomly assigned to control, walking (PAC) and pedometer (PAC-PED) groups, and personalized physical activity was prescribed. We wanted to note the practices we had on the PAC group for the exercises and follow the exercises on the PAC-PED group with the pedometer. The control group was not followed.Results: 52 patients in the control group, patients in the PAC group and patients in the PAC-PED group were randomly assigned. The mean age of all participants was 51.2 ± 14.5, the proportion of women by sex was 82.1%, and that of men was 17.9%. The mean blood pressures in systolic and diastolic values of the participants was 118.4 ± 19.4 and 72.3 ± 13.7, respectively. mean IPAQ score was 900.6 ± 852.6. Participants were followed as mean of 2.1 ± 1.3 (0.65 – 6.33) months. There was no difference between the groups as previous and next blood pressure values. However, there was a significant difference between the PAC-PED group and the control group in terms of mean blood pressure differences.Conclusion: There is no decrease in blood pressure in patients given individualized physical activity. However, the use of a pedometer instead of a follow-up card may have a positive effect on blood pressure values despite no monitoring method being used. Keywords: physical activity, pedometer, blood pressure
Remuneration of independent directors: Determinants and policy implications
Authors: Belcredi Massimo , Bozzi Stefano
Published: December 2019

Taking advantage of a unique database on Italian Corporate Governance, we study the determinants of remuneration paid to individual non-executive directors (NEDs) and, in particular, to independent directors (INEDs). Our results on a database covering around 16,000 positions/year for non-executive directors in Italian listed firms (over a 9-year period) show that: 1) Remuneration is strongly affected by firm characteristics, in particular by firm size. Independent directors are paid less than gray directors; the gap between the two categories is, however, gradually closing, due to lower additional compensation being paid to gray directors in subsidiaries. Contrary to what happens in other countries, NED remuneration remained quite stable: a small increase is observable only for independent directors; 2) NED remuneration is influenced by the functions performed by individual directors within the board. On the contrary, individual directors’ characteristics have little or no impact. We find evidence of a gender pay gap among independent directors in less recent years; however, this gap has gradually disappeared in conjunction with the increasing number and role of female directors, following the adoption of gender quotas; 3) The relationship between independent directors’ pay and some variables of interest has changed over time: this is true not only for gender but also for Tobin’s Q (a proxy for the benefits from monitoring) and for the number of positions held in other companies. The changes we observe are apparently consistent with the market for directors’ pay in Italy becoming more mature after the introduction of Say-on-Pay and other regulation favouring investor activism. This is also consistent with a positive role played by both institutional investors and their representatives sitting on the board of listed companies after the introduction of said legislation.
Behavioural factor-based clustering to examine why small businesses choose particular bank: The New Zealand evidence
Authors: Boulanouar Zakaria , Ayed Tahar Lazhar , Locke Stuart
Published: December 2019

In this paper, using the theory of planned behaviour, behavioural and non-behavioural factors underpinning small business’ (SB) choice of a bank are explored. To date, we are unaware of any study that uses a behavioural approach to study bank selection by SBs owner/managers. These factors, discussed in the literature, form the basis of a questionnaire administered in New Zealand. Univariate & bivariate analyses, in addition to cluster analysis of the data, show that behavioral factors, such as knowing a person in the bank, prior personal banking experience and recommendation/referrals, are shown to be most important. Also, after controlling for size, industry, and age of business it is found that there is no statistically significant difference in choice variables. Further, inertia is strong once a bank is chosen and cost, while emphasized, does not trigger actions. A cluster analysis of SB owners/managers produced four different groups. However, all of these groups are affected by the same behavioural factors in their choice of a banking partner.

Authors: Utami Datien Eriska
Published: December 2019

The present study aims to identify financial and non-financial factors as the determinant variables of Indonesian companies' Sukuk ratings between 2014 and 2017. Five independent variables, i.e. firm size, profitability, leverage, guarantee status, and types of Sukuk, are involved in this study with Sukuk rating as the dependent variable. This study employed secondary data in the form of sixty-eight (68) Sukuk publications as the sample. The Sukuk publications observed in this study were still in circulation during the observation years obtained from Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK/ Financial Services Authority) websites, annual reports of companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange, and PT Pefindo website. By utilizing Multinomial Logistic Regression, this study reveals that the financial factor, the profitability, had a significant effect on the Sukuk rating. Moreover, it also shows that the non-financial factor influencing the Sukuk rating was the guarantee status. On the contrary, the variables of firm size, leverage, and types of Sukuk did not affect the Sukuk rating. Keywords: firm size, profitability, leverage, guarantee status, types of Sukuk, Sukuk rating

This study examines the intersection between religion and economic performance through investigating religious ethics and tradition among devout businesswomen. This study also focuses on the issue of spiritual business enterprise. I observed seven Muslim business women as subjects who negotiate a religious and cultural perception of their gendered role in society. During their entrepreneurial journey, Muslim business women transform their conventional company into spiritual – based operations for religious and ethical reason. I undertook nine weeks of fieldwork in urban areas of Jakarta, Purworejo and Yogyakarta. I also conduct life story interview sessions and participatory observation with the seven Muslim business women’s project of business including director, manager, employee, and so – called spiritual division. Significantly, the products that they sell reflect spiritual and moral underpinnings. Moreover, the spiritual design of company plays a role in employee screening, training, and benefit, which all incorporate aspects of Islamic practice. This research demonstrates the strong role of religion namely Islam, as evidenced in the Muslim business women’s narratives, in functioning as a support system that can greatly enhance the economic and life prosperity. Keywords: Muslim business women, religious ethics, spiritual economics, Indonesia

Published: December 2019

Film, short movie, and animation are one of the sub-sectors in creative industry which are importantly considered for development of Indonesia’s creative economy. Pesantren (Islamic boarding school) have opportunity to get involve it. Kopi Ireng (Komunitas Photography Tebuireng, Tebuireng Photography Community) inspired Tebuireng santri to establish production house, namely Maksi (Rumah Produksi Tebuireng, Tebuireng Production House). Kopi Ireng has won many competitions while Maksi has produced two movies both Binar and Sakinah. Both Kopi Ireng and Maksi are an effort to regenerate the progress of film industry in Indonesia, especially in pesantren. Film in pesantren is something new which is sometimes considered unusually. Some of pesantren claimed that film activity will break the old tradition of santri and pesantren in studying Islamic studies. Both Kopi Ireng and Maksi believe that film is the way to spread dakwah and origin culture of Indonesia in the era of 4.0 industrial revolution. Keyword: 4.0 era, creative industry, film, Pesantren Tebuireng
Selective dissolution of vanadium(V) from spent petroleum catalysts by oxalic acid solution
Authors: Le M.N. , Lee M.S.
Published: December 2019

The spent petroleum catalyst contains a significant amount of vanadium and its recovery is essential. Oxalic acid has good metal selectivity due to its complex properties. Leaching experiments with oxalic acid were done to investigate the dissolution behavior of vanadium from spent petroleum catalyst by varying leaching conditions, such as temperature, concentration, pulp density, stirring speed and time. Vanadium and molybdenum were selectively dissolved by oxalic acid from the spent catalysts, while the leaching percentage of other metals was very low. However, the leaching percentage of vanadium by oxalic acid was lower than 45% in most of the leaching conditions. Our results provide some basic information on the dissolution of valuable metals from the spent catalyst by using organic acid.
Axisymmetric elasticity solution for an undrained saturated poro-piezoelastic thick disk
Authors: Abjadi Ali , Jabbari Mohsen , Khorshidvand Reza
Published: December 2019

In this paper, a circular thick plate made of poroelastic piezoelectric ceramic is studied. The porosities of the plate vary through the thickness and axisymmetric behavior of a piezoelectric disk exhibiting hexagonal material symmetry of class 6 mm. Additionally, external mechanical loads which are in axi-symmetric general form act on the plate. The material properties of the plate vary exponentially as functions of the ?? variable in cylindrical coordinates. Based on an elasticity solution in terms of radial and axial displacements (??, ??), the governing partial differential equations are derived and solved analytically; mechanical stresses and electric displacements are then calculated. Finally an example which illustrates the application of the derived formulas is presented.

Published: December 2019

Wheat flour consumption in Indonesia continues to increase, so the government must import wheat on a large scale. One of the ways to reduce wheat consumption is by using substitutes. Mocaf (modified cassava flour) is a kind of flour that derived from cassava plants (Manihot esculenta). This flour can be used as a substitute for wheat flour due to its similar characteristics. Even though it has high economic potential, mocaf has only been marketed locally. One of the reason is the lack of quality packaging. The purpose of this study is to identify consumer preferences for mocaf packaging so that they can market the product not only locally but also nationally. In this study, AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) method with four alternatives (plastic stand up pouch combination, Aluminium foil stand up pouch combination, screen printing plastic pouch, and paper pouch combination) and three criteria (price, model, and durability) is used to determine consumer preferences for mocaf packaging. This research obtained the conclusion that the highest weight for criterion and alternative are price and the screen printing plastic pouch.

Nowadays, information and communications technology (ICT) has been widely used either in schools or colleges. An understanding on the use of technology in language learning particularly in the class fascinated for both educators and learners. One of the language learning technologies is that SAMR, a model which is designed to help educators in embedding technology skills into the learning process in the classroom. In SAMR, 4 functions used to develop the applications, as in Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefenition. This model helps educators provide an overview on the implementation of English language learning (i.e. reading, writing and listening). The simple SAMR model is certainly reminiscent of a model that was first in the realm of cognitive education. This model is parallel with the model of the taxonomy of bloom, a model that is very often used in cognitive learning. By applying SAMR Model, students can design learning technology effectively.

Published: December 2019

This study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that there appears a systematic order of the acquisition of past tenses. It is claimed that irregular past tense verbs are acquired earlier than regular past tense verbs. In comparison to the acquisition of irregular and regular past verbs, the acquisition of the past copula be forms `was` and `were` is believed to take place much earlier. To test this hypothesis, the data were collected from forty-six students who were asked to write an essay with a minimum of 250 words to get data of the use of past tenses. The findings reveal partial support for the hypothesis, suggesting that the universal order of morpheme acquisition may not be a stable phenomenon.
WHEN AND HOW DO CHILDREN START PRODUCING A LANGUAGE?
Authors: Musliadi Musliadi
Published: December 2019

This article discusses how a child speaks his first language. The first language spoken through several phases is called the semantic process, syntax and phonology. Newborn babies get their first language from their mother called mother tongue. In the process, newborn babies need a lot of interaction both inside and outside the environment to obtain language, including using the five senses to find out the meaning of language acquired from the surrounding. As with animals, humans are born equipped with language acquisition devices (LAD) as the natural abilities of babies used to interpret language and learn languages. This is what distinguishes between humans and animals. By using this LAD, humans are able to communicate or respond to language from others.
