This paper presents the results of studies on the use of bentonite from the Taganskoye field for purification of mine water from the mining industry from heavy metal ions (MI). It has been established that the use of the thermo-acid-activated form of bentonite clay allows the removal of MI Cu2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, Zn2+ions from mine water by 99.6, 94.7, 98.9, 99.5 %, respectively, which ensures that the maximum permissible concentration of fishery is achieved at selected optimal conditions that were identified on the basis of an active experiment. A comparative analysis of the presented results of mass spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy shows that they are valid and do not contradict the obtained experimental data on the composition of exchange cations and structural characteristics in ultrafine mineral phases of bentonite clay samples of natural and thermo-acid activated forms It has been established that during acid activation of bentonite clays, the structure of montmorillonite is retained upon extraction of up to 80 % of magnesium, iron, and aluminum ions and is destroyed only upon their almost complete extraction.

The formation of vertically integrated companies, on the one hand, is an important stage in describing the scale of market changes, and secondly, the formation of significant structural issues of oil refining and oil transportation, as well as petrochemical enterprises. Such a complex technological decline can be explained by the lack of sufficient investment in the oil refining industry. Especially petrochemical enterprises are in a difficult situation, the lack of a stable link with raw materials suppliers, instability in the world market of petrochemical products, lack of investments hamper the development of enterprises in this field. The world market showed that in the field of oil refining and petrochemical companies their consolidation at the corporate level, as a result of which there are no prospects for the development of private oil companies, without which their competitiveness can not be increased. From this point of view, the topic of the article is relevant. Theoretical and practical bases of competitiveness of oil and gas enterprises and its management were considered. The study of the theoretical bases of competition, competitiveness and management of competitiveness, as well as factors influencing competitiveness, allowed to describe competitiveness in a comparative degree. You can note such factors that affect the competitiveness of the enterprise, as the competitiveness of products, the competitiveness of technology and the competitiveness of personnel.

The monetary seismic tremors caused by the pandemic have a lot to do with our financial management. Therefore, it is important that enterprises actively assess their risks and vulnerabilities from both an operational and financial perspective. To survive in this environment, businesses must act decisively to mitigate risks and plan for quick and slow recovery scenarios and associated liquidity impacts. The social instability caused by an abrupt jump to full employment in an instant and a sudden spike in unemployment fundamentally changes workers’ loyalty to their employer (or former employer). While this article focuses on financial management, tackling the coronavirus pandemic requires a comprehensive response and careful prioritization. Adding unnecessary tasks and complexity to overwhelming circumstances won’t help. Consequently, financial management actions and process changes must be designed to support business leaders and employees who will all be under pressure.

Extend Theory of Planned Behavior for Recycling in Electronic Waste
Authors:   Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Mohamad Nur Shafeera , Chin Thoo Ai ,   Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
Published: January 2021

Electronic waste (e-waste) is generated at a rapid pace when there are millions of electronic appliances including mobile phones, televisions, computers, laptops, and tablets have very short time lifespans. In addition, e-waste is classified as any types of electric and electronic merchandises that have no value to consumers. Even though e-waste is known as trash, but it can be used as a secondary resource to decrease the number of hazardous contents that may harm the environment. Despite being thrown away,e-waste can be reused, resold, recovered, remanufactured, and recycled. Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) is used as an underpinning theory to examine the factors that influence consumer’s behaviour towards e-waste recycling in Malaysia. TPB is a classical theory to predict one’s beliefs and behaviour. The theory shows that attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control could explain an individual’s behavioural intentions and behaviours. However, TPB is insufficient to explain pro-environmental actions such as returning e-waste. Recycling behaviour involves external resources and expertise. Thus, this study extended the theory by incorporating other factors such as awareness of the environment consequences, perceived convenience, and moral obligation. This study will use an online survey. Data will be selected and collected from respondents in Malaysia who age above 18 years old and use electronic products via purposive sampling method. Structural equation modelling (SEM) approach will be employed for data analysis and hypotheses testing. The findings of this review are significant to the government, organizations, electronic consumers and researchers that e-waste recycling can be enhanced using extended TPB. Keywords: Electronic waste (e-waste), Electronic Appliances, Recycling, Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)
Critical Thinking in Research and Analysis for Business Development
Authors:   Wollongong University, Australia, McKee James
Published: January 2021

The aim of this paper is to highlight the need for more emphasis on the research and analysis required to obtain the right information needed for effective business development. The research examines the literature for examples of good practice for business research and analysis, which would lead to obtaining the most advantageous information for guiding the business. The result will show that insufficient attention is given in business studies to the analysis requirement to sift through vast amounts of available and interesting data for the critical useful information. More attention needs to be given to understand what information is most useful to the strategic development of the organisation. The limitation to this investigation is that the research is not empirical but normative in approach, but the practical result indicates that if more analysis subjects were included in business studies there will be better trained managers available. These managers would be betterable to develop their organisation by having more meaningful information available to guide them in their strategic planning role.

Published: January 2021

For nearly four decades, we have been witnessing the development of the concept of corporate governance. This concept has evolved considerably since its appearance because of its multidisciplinary nature and the high diversity of its theoretical grids. There are two main theoretical approaches. The disciplinary and cognitive approaches. Given the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation and its inevitable impact on the bank's business model, it is natural that it also impacts on its governance. This impact can be analyzed from the two dimensions of governance. First, a cognitive dimension, which concerns all the players in the governance system, particularly the board of directors. Then, a disciplinary dimension dictated by the radical transformation of the confidence relations (Board of Directors/managers) established by the blockchain technology which could call into question the notion of opportunism advocated by the agency theory as the basis of the disciplinary approach of governance. In this paper, we will explore from an unprecedented analysis of the impact of digital transformation on banking governance. This analysis will focus on the two dimensions of governance: disciplinary and cognitive. Finally, an empirical study will be presented on the digital transformation at the level of Moroccan banks which refers in particular to the cognitive aspects of governance. Keywords: corporate governance, disciplinary governance, cognitive governance, banking governance, digital transformation
Gendering of Time Management: Perceptions and Experiences of Working Women
Authors:   UniversityofEssex,UnitedKingdom, Adams Jackson , Almahmoud Nouha ,   PMU Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Published: January 2021

Understanding and experiencing time has been historically and socially formed by various bodies of power and control who have advocated commodifying clock time of the capitalist economy. This has significantly impacted the lives of working people in general and working women with care and domestic duties in particular. So, many studies have demonstrated the gendering of time management in the Western workplace, but none so far – to the best of the authors’ knowledge – has been reported in the Middle Eastern countries in general and in Syria in particular. Here comes the contribution of this study, which investigates a sample of Syrian women with paid work duties by conducting in-depth, face-to-face, semi-structured interviews. The investigation explores the individual perceptions of time as well as the individual experiences of time management regarding the participants’ paid and unpaid work duties. The focus here is on identifying and explaining the internal and external factors which drive the participants’ perceptions and experiences. The interview narratives have revealed that time management is gendered – it requires women rather than men to strike a balance between their employment role and domestic role. However, not all participants were aware of the boundaries between time spent on public paid work and time dedicated for private unpaid or domestic work. In conclusion, the study has demonstrated that gendered time allocation is culturally embedded through gendering domestic and care work, which affected the time spent on paid work in the public sphere. Keywords: time management, time allocation, work, gender, cultural norms

Historical Changes in Large River Fish Assemblages of the Americas
Authors:   Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, 104 Nash Hall, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331, USA
Published: January 2021

Abstract.—The Willamette River is Oregon’s largest river, with a basin area of 29,800 km2 and a mean annual discharge of 680 m3/s. Beginning in the 1890s, the channel was greatly simplified for navigation. By the 1940s, it was polluted by organic wastes, which resulted in low dissolved oxygen concentrations and floating and benthic sludge deposits that hindered salmon migration and boating. Following basin-wide secondary waste treatment and low-flow augmentation, water quality markedly improved, salmon runs returned, and recreational uses increased. However, water pollution remains a problem as do physical habitat alterations, flow modification, and alien species. Fish assemblages in the main-stem Willamette River were sampled systematically, but with different gear, in the summers of 1945, 1983, and 1999. In the past 53 years, tolerant species occurrences decreased and intolerant species occurrences increased. In the past 20 years, alien fishes have expanded their ranges in the river, and four native fish species have been listed as threatened or endangered. We associate these changes with improved water quality between 1945 and 1983, fish migrations, altered flow regimes and physical habitat structure, and more extensive sampling.
LEAKING AGENT DETECTION AND EMAIL FILTERING
Authors: SHANKAR GIRISH , DHAYALAN SOMESHWAR , ANAND ASHISH
Published: January 2021

Leaking of confidential data to an unauthorized agent is a major concern for an organization. In this article we seek to detect the trusted node that leaks the confidential data to an unauthorized agent. Traditionally, leakage of data is handled by water marking technique which requires data modification. If the watermarked copy is found at some unauthorized site then distributor can claim his ownership. But one of the issues with watermarking method is data modification. To overcome the disadvantages of using watermark, data allocation strategies are used to improve the probability of identifying guilty third parties. The idea is to distribute the data intelligently to agents based on sample data request and explicit data request in order to improve the chance of detecting the guilty agents. Modern business activities also rely on extensive email exchange. Email leakages have become widespread, and the severe damage caused by such leakages constitutes a disturbing problem for organizations. Hence, filtering of E-mails is also necessary. This can be done by blocking E-mails which contains images, videos or sensitive data and filtering the text file of an organization.

Published: January 2021

This study aims to evaluate how inoculum’s origin affects the methane yield of palm oil mill effluent (POME) by measuring the specific methanogenic activities (SMA) and bio-methane potential (BMP) of POME at different dilutions (100, 80, 60, 40, and 20 % of initial POME) and by using active anaerobic sludge (as inocula) from 3 palm oil mills (S1, S2, S3). The anaerobic digesters were operated in batch mode at a temperature of 40 °C until methane generation ceased. The corresponding SMA were 0.0159, 0.0098 and 0.0333 gCOD /(gVSS d) for S1, S2 and S3, respectively. The results showed that POME without dilution gave the highest cumulative biogas, 4162, 2857 and 2678 mL for S2, S3 and S1, respectively. However, 20 % dilution from original POME gave the highest methane yield (as BMP) 126, 88 and 84 mL CH4/gCOD removed for S2, S3 and S1, respectively. In this study, 2 mathematical models were selected including the corrected Gompertz equation and Gompertz two substrate models. They were applied to characterize the kinetics of the anaerobic digestion processes and to compare the BMP data from the experiments. Both models could represent all BMP data satisfactory although only Gompertz 2 substrate model showed almost perfect fitting and could characterize the influence of slowly degradable portion of POME. Accordingly, the slowly degradable portion of POME was estimated to be 10 % of total COD.

Symbol religijny w literackich nieortodoksyjnych użyciach. Szkic o kulturowej roli profanacji
Authors: Jankowska Małgorzata
Published: January 2021

Artykuł ma na celu analizę przekształceń symbolu religijnego. Jego rozmaite nieortodoksyjne użycia widoczne są m.in. we współczesnych narracjach apokryficznych. Teksty te, wykorzystujące postaci, motywy i symbole obecne w Piśmie Świętym, mają często charakter profanacji czy obrazoburstwa, lecz propagując treści stojące niejednokrotnie w sprzeczności z kanonem, paradoksalnie utrzymują go w centrum semiosfery. Analiza tego typu przekształceń pozwala dostrzec rolę, jaką symbol odgrywa w procesach autokomunikacji kultury, łącząc to, co tradycyjne, z tym, co nowe, a tym samym umożliwiając kulturze kontakt z przekazami źródłowymi. To szczególnie ważny bodziec do postrzegania tożsamości kulturowej jako ciągłej i spójnej. Symbol jest najtrwalszym i najstarszym nośnikiem pamięci kulturowej, a jego przekształcenia (choćby były profanacją) wspomagają jej pracę. Wchodząc w nowy kontekst nie traci on swoich poprzednich znaczeń, lecz nabywa nowe, ujawniając tym samym swe bogactwo semantyczne. Symbol jest zatem ważnym elementem dynamizującym kulturę i zapobiegającym jej petryfikacji.

Однако, как показывает судебная практика последнего десятилетия, претензий к образованию в виде гражданских и уголовных исков не уменьшается, а только увеличивается. Мы считаем, что одним из факторов этой негативной тенденции является отсутствие внимания к формированию социально-правовой ответственности у работников образования. Она не формируется ни в процессе обучения педагогической профессии ни позже в системе дополнительного образования. Цель статьи заключается в раскрытии понимания феномена ответственности, с точки зрения философского, социологического и экономического подходов. На основании компетентностного подхода выделены структурные компоненты социально-правовой ответственности, в рамках которых можно разработать систему для формирования данного феномена у работников образования. Статья предназначена для преподавателей педагогических вузов и организаций, осуществляющих повышение квалификации педагогических работников.

The relevance of the article is due to the increasing influence of social problems on education. Responsibility as a quality of personality is, without no doubt, at the center of professional activity. In the system of values of education, responsibility should be at the highest level of formation. However, as the judicial practice of the last decade shows, claims to education in the form of civil and criminal lawsuits do not decrease, but only increase. We believe that one of the factors of this negative trend is the lack of attention to the formation of social and legal responsibility among educational workers. It is not formed either in the process of teaching the teaching profession or later in the system of additional education. The purpose of the article is to reveal the understanding of the phenomenon of responsibility from the point of view of philosophical, sociological and economic approaches. On the basis of the competence approach, the structural components of social and legal responsibility are identified, within which it is possible to develop a system for the formation of this phenomenon in educational workers. The article is intended for teachers of pedagogical universities and organizations that carry out professional development of teachers.
Effect of Computer Assisted Instruction on Teaching of Self Reliance Skills for Sustainable Entrepreneurship Development among Undergraduate Social Studies Students in Kaduna State
Authors: Lawal Uthman Shehu , Abdullahi Yunusa
Published: January 2021

This study explored the effect of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) on the teaching of selfreliance skills for sustainable entrepreneurship development amongst undergraduate Social Studies students in Kaduna State, Nigeria. Three (3) research objectives, questions and null hypotheses guided the study. A quasi-experimental research design was employed. The Self Reliance Skills Performance Test (SERSIT) was used for data collection. Mean, standard deviation, t-test and two-way ANOVA statistics were used. The findings revealed that a significant difference exists between the mean academic performance and retention scores of undergraduate students taught self-reliance skills using CAI and those taught using conventional methods. No significant difference was found between the mean academic performance scores of undergraduate students taught self-reliance skills using CAI in relation to gender and ownership. Based on the findings, it was recommended, amongst others thing, that subsequent curriculum review in Social Studies should accommodate the dynamism of CAI atall levels. This will promote a student-centred instructional approach, autonomy in knowledge acquisition and self-discovery learning to ensure sustainable entrepreneurship development in Kaduna state.
