Katse õpetada palkehitust infotehnoloogia vahendusel / An attempt to teach log building using information technology
Authors: Malinen Anssi
Published: April 2022

The current paper gives an overview on a pilot course arranged at Oulu vocational college where the applicability of digital media in log construction training was tested. This was done by using two learning videos showing the construction of two traditional corner notches. The videos were uploaded to YouTube, which allowed the students to watch them freely using a tablet computer and wireless internet connection. There were no teachers on the course, so the students had to work independently.

After the pilot course it is possible to conclude that using digital video material as a primary learning method is a suitable way to learn new log construction techniques. Also the feedback from the students was positive. According the students the main benefit of the video-based learning is the possibility of advancing independently, since there is no need to wait for instructions from a teacher. However, there has to be a special emphasis on the quality of the learning material, since the videos must provide sufficient support in situations which are possibly problematic.

A workshop of making Estonian native jewellery took place in the beginning of July in 2014 during the Song Celebration and lasted for two days. The workshop was organised by two students of Viljandi Culture Academy, Indrek Ikkonen and Anna-Maria Kaseoja. The project involved acquiring a goldsmith's toolbox and tools, carrying out the workshop and introducing the curriculum of Estonian Native Metalwork to those interested. On the first day brooches and earrings with national motifs were made in the workshop. In addition, visitors’ broken brooches and rings were repaired. From the workshop, the organisers gained the experience of communicating with visitors and working outside the school enviroment.

Trükimustrilised pearätikud Kihnu kultuuriruumis / Printed Pattern Headscarves in the Cultural Space of the Island of Kihnu
Authors: Pukk Mari
Published: April 2022

This article provides an overview of the unique tradition of the islanders of Kihnu of wearing headscarves. I discuss the importance of cotton print headscarves in the traditional clothing of Kihnu women and explain the meaning of kallisseltsi headscarves as an intra-community phenomenon, giving an overview of the origin and characteristics thereof.Cotton print headscarves are considered an integral part of Kihnu traditional clothing, but as purchased goods they have, up to the present, remained beyond the scope of ethnographic studies. Headscarves are classified by material, origin and purpose. Even today seven different types of headscarves are known: names were assigned to the different types based on their patterns. Headscarves must always be worn in harmony with the main item of clothing: the skirt. The colours and stripes of the skirt convey the events that take place in the course of a woman’s life. Adherence to the rules is supervised by the elders of the community and the more knowledgeable members who look after the preservation of the island’s traditions. As in the case of wearing, there are specific unwritten rules concerning the care, storage and folding of headscarves.In the Kihnu community the most valuable cotton headscarves are those made of red printed calico that were produced in the late 19th century and the early 20th century in Russia, in the Province of Vladimir in Aleksandrov County. Elsewhere in the world, the headscarves are also known by their main colour – Turkish red. The owning of kallisseltsi headscarves is in a way a status symbol in the Kihnu community: the owner of the largest number of headscarves is considered the proudest and richest. The circulation of headscarves is very carefully monitored and the most valuable ones are only worn during important life events.
Here a stitch, there a stitch: a committee working on specialised terminologies for craft studies
Authors: Jaanus Marja-Leena
Published: April 2022

“Here a stitch, there a stitch“ is something one is likely to utter while working with their hands and demonstrating a particular technique. Specialised terminology facilitates professional communication, so that each “here“ and “there“ has an exact equivalent, a term based on agreement between professionals in the field.

The committee of specialised terminologies in craft studies was established by the Estonian Native Crafts Department at the University of Tartu Viljandi Culture Academy on 29th April 2016 to tackle these very problems and to reach agreement upon precise terminology. As specialised terminology is created by professionals in the field, the committee is made up of lecturers specialising in craftwork, handicraft scholars, and guest specialists whose particular field is under discussion.

The committee has so far met on three occasions and has addressed the general terms of handicraft studies, but the suggestions made by MA students, to whom specialised terminology is essential when writing their theses, have also been discussed.

Terms which have received approval from the committee will be included in the term database ‘Specialised Terminology of Craft Studies’, which can be found along with other term databases at the Institute of the Estonian Language’s website: term.eki.ee. Everyone who uses handicraft terminology is welcome to suggest new terms to the committee.
Kihulasele – abimootoriga jalgrattale ja rohtunud radade sissetallajale / To Meelis Kihulane – a motorized bicycle and a breaker of overgrown paths
Authors: Parts Priit-Kalev
Published: April 2022

Vakad, karbid, sõelad – painutatud kerega esemete valmistamine, the new book by Meelis Kihulane on making bentwood boxes and sieves, keeps alive the proud tradition of classical Estonian ethnography, at the same time as imparting to its readers the insight and hands-on approach of a true practitioner. The book is presented in the form of a practical handbook with video appendices – or a ’videobook’.

From the perspective of teaching the practice, the book is skilfully composed and the photos carefully selected and unbelievably well photographed. The author’s substantial experience as an instructor, and also the resoluteness of the editors (museum curators by profession), has indisputably played its part here.

Vakad, karbid, sõelad poses some questions about the future of storage media used for presenting information on handicraft in general. The production of the videos accompanying the book is at a high professional level and they are an excellent addition to the book, but the combination of a traditional book and a non-descript thumb-drive creates a somewhat uncomfortable consumer experience.

Kihulane’s two-part work is thus somewhat reminiscent of an old motorised bicycle – a tad too clumsy for riding down overgrown ethnographic paths on a summer night, yet too bulky with its atavistic pedals for cycling any faster. But such is the fate of a pioneer…
Taasloovast kudumisest Muhu sõrmkinnaste näitel / Reconstruction knitting of a pair of Muhu gloves
Authors: Jõeste Kristi
Published: April 2022

In the article, renowned artisan knitter Kristi Jõeste with 20 years of experience, provides a detailed description of the process of the reconstructional knitting of a pair of Muhu traditional gloves. Using the widespread reconstruction method in combination with an autoethnographic approach enables the practitioner’s personal bodily/tacit knowledge to be made explicit. Making Muhu traditional gloves is one of the most complicated tasks facing Estonian knitters, due to the use of fine threads and knitting needles, as well as the demanding techniques the work requires. Describing the key moments in the process of reconstructional glove-knitting enables her to share useful information with other reconstructional knitters.

The object of this descriptive research experiment is a pair of Muhu gloves VM VM 9168:56 E 535 held by Viljandi Museum. This pair represents the tradition of women’s gloves with colourful horizontal patterns that was practiced in Muhu at the beginning of the 20th century. The gloves were made with a crocheted cuff to which the hand was later seamed or knitted. While the author provides an overview and explains the problems she encountered and the solutions she found, the purpose of the article is not, however, to compile a standard pattern and instruction, such as can be found in knitting manuals.

Due to the global Covid19 pandemic, the museum was closed at the time of the knitting experiment. While the author was able to use high-resolution museum photographs of the gloves, she had no access to the gloves themselves, which meant that she had to draw upon her own experience, rather than being able to gain detailed information about the length of floats and some other technical details directly from the gloves themselves.

The author did not dye the threads to match the exact colour of the original as that would have taken too much time. She bought 12/2 Danish carded woollen threads with similar colours from the Saara web shop, and used no 1 and 1.25 knitting needles and a no 1.5 crochet hook. The wrist part was crocheted with 92 crochet stitches and seamed with hands knitted with 100 to 120 stitches. In order to achieve symmetry under the thumbs, the stitches were increased at the sides where the next row started; this same technique has been used on the original gloves.

For knitting the monochrome fingers, the spiral decrease method was used for the fingertips, just as it had been on the original pair. The reconstructed pair of gloves is the same size as the original, it fits well, and was knitted in 38 hours and 40 minutes.

Prantsuse kuningakojast Eestimaa talutarre: hüpoteese pott- ja kabimütside päritolust pärandtehnoloogi pilgu läbi / From French royal court to Estonian peasant house: some hypotheses about the origin of pot- and hoof-shaped caps from the perspective
Authors: Lehis Maret
Published: April 2022

It has been thought that pot- and hoof-shaped caps were adopted in Estonia under the influence of peasant fashion in other European countries, especially Sweden and Finland. However, when compared to the head-dresses worn in Finland, the methods of making Estonian pot- and hoof-shaped caps seem so different, the question arises of whether the roots of this cap-making technique might be located elsewhere. For example, the technique and patterns used for making pot- and hoof-shaped caps are more reminiscent of Russian kokoshnik head-dresses.

It can be concluded that pot- and hoof-shaped caps worn in northern and western Estonia originate from the French coif of the later Middle Ages, although further developments mean that the caps we now have are rather different from their model, in terms of both shape and pattern. Our ethnographic literaturedoes not mention the strong influence of Russian folk costumes on Estonian traditional clothing. However, judging by construction techniques we may assume that pot- and hoof-shaped caps did not reach Estonia via Scandinavia. We should rather look for the source of this cap fashion in the east.

Hopefully this article will inspire fresh research work on ethnographic headgear. This broad research topic continues to be important as head-dresses have constituted, at all times, one of the most essential and expressive elements of costume, and interest in traditional clothing is still growing.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SPORTS MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATION FOR SPORT DEVELOPMENT IN SPECIAL GROUPS OF ATHLETES
Authors: Bižić Vojkan
Published: April 2022

The importance of management in sports and the education of children with special needs poses a very challenging task for anyone who wants to research this topic, whether he is an environmentalist, a manager, a physical education professor, or a special educator. That is an extraordinary big challenge for pedagogical professionals. Encouraging children with special needs to acquire knowledge about preserving the environment through sports activities is significant for their life, work, and sports. The paper answers how diverse educational-environmental programs can contribute to such a specific population playing sports today and develop the awareness of the importance of the environment for sports activities. Sports management develops in new segments, innovations, and inclusion of children with special needs in sports. Changes in the sports-training plan must be accompanied by changes in the strategic plan, especially in strategic management. Sports organizations that want to survive and develop must have people in their strategic management, and top management who have a vision of where, how, why, and in which direction should develop the organization. To do it in the right way and successfully, the management must be professional in sports coaching, managerial-business, marketing, etc. It is necessary that modern managers, especially those who belong to the top management by their status, have the appropriate knowledge of the concepts and applications of strategic management.
EVALUATION OF THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS VIA SOCIAL MEDIA FOCUSING ON THE LINKEDIN
Authors: Knežević Snežana , Ivković Ivan
Published: April 2022

The main question of successful company management is how to find the best associates and how to keep them. New information and communication technologies are changing the way we do business and creating new opportunities for recruiting candidates. The LinkedIn social network has become very popular among job seekers and employers to find competent candidates. The population of millennials, both in the world and in Serbia, stood out in the use of this medium. The primary motives for using LinkedIn media among millennials are professional network development, branding, marketing, increasing visibility among recruiters, and monitoring of interested companies. The most critical issues that may hinder the candidate's employment are false information about qualifications and discriminatory comments about race, gender, or religion presented in the profile. Due to the above, the behavior on the networks should be with measure. The user’s profile and images on social media sites with other websites should show complete consistency. The use of social media in employment is undergoing a transition in terms of norms of behavior, regulations, and laws. Recruitment of candidates through social media in Serbia is still not receiving enough attention, and especially a small number of companies are focusing on the LinkedIn network.

Good organization of such business systems results in developmental improvement of the achieved level of product quality in continuity. Currently, it is imperative to strengthen all types of ties between the economic entities of one country with production entities around the world. A key factor of effectiveness for the successful operation of manufacturing companies are efficient organizational approaches and the development of quality. Good organization of all business and production process activities, in practice requires the definition of organization and managerial skills and business principles through effective management methods and techniques, efficient organizational structures, high motivation, teamwork, quality documentation, education and training, business economics, etc.
INTERNAL CONTROL (AUDIT) – A FACTOR OF CORRECT FINANCIAL AND ACCOUNTING SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
Authors: Živanović Vlada , Bogavac Milija , Bogavac Milanka
Published: April 2022

Internal control is the subject of observation of various stakeholders, not only external auditors but also the board of directors, shareholders, as well as the state in the entities where it directly or indirectly performs control. Internal control is significant for the proper management of the financial and accounting system of the organization. Also, it is a vital link in the overall business and production system. Therefore, it is one of the most authoritative studies from which the definition of the term "internal control" arose. According to this definition, internal control is a process established and managed by the management (supervisory) board, management, and lower managers. The internal control should provide reasonable assurance about achievements of goals related to the categories as efficiency and effectiveness of business, quality of financial reporting, compliance with existing legislation and regularity of business, and protection of property from unauthorized use or alienation. Internal control should provide reasonable but not absolute assurance of the company's objectives. The goal is to achieve an adequately protected system composed of physical means (machines, tools), non-physical means (intellectual property, products obtained by expensive research and development processes), and documents (they can be stolen, destroyed, and lost or damaged ). The paper considers internal control through business controls and accounting controls. Business controls relate to the promotion of business performances and compliance with prescribed management policies and are significant when auditing the entire or some sectors of the company. Accounting controls relate to assets protection and the assurance that financial statements and records are reliable.

Published: April 2022

Today it is a generally accepted fact that the livestock industry has a negative impact on the environment. With the development of industrial production of livestock and poultry products, this impact has increased significantly. The risks of environmental pollution in animal husbandry are associated with the disposal of manure and manure, as well as greenhouse gas emissions during the entire production cycle. Therefore, one of the main tasks of modern animal husbandry is to reduce emissions. The purpose of the study is to develop a digital livestock management model aimed at improving production processes to reduce the harmful effects of the activities of an economic entity on the environment. As part of the study, a model was proposed that is a set of digital systems (reproduction system, animal identification system, microclimate system, feeding system, veterinary system, waste system, product control system) based on geographic information technologies. Digital systems cover all technological stages of animal breeding, care and fattening, production output. Robotic systems for feeding, milking, weighing, caring for animals perform their work more accurately and efficiently, which reduces feed losses, reduces the cost of animal treatment, increases their productivity and insemination rate. From the point of view of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the use of drones for the delivery of feed and other materials used in animal husbandry is beneficial. The result of the introduction of digital technologies in the process of feeding animals is feed savings and efficient consumption, and as a result, a reduction in the carbon footprint due to reduced energy costs

The article presents the study results of the best terms and methods for removal of potato vine before harvesting in cultivation of variety Dachny. The purpose of the research is to determine the optimal timing and methods of pre-harvest removal of the above-ground biomass of new potato plants. The experiments were performed in 2015-2017 in the climatic conditions of the Primorsky krai. The soil of the experimental area is meadow-brown bleached. Fertility is typical for the Primorsky krai. Methods of research and agrotechnics are widespread. The scheme of planting 20x90 cm. The first (control) version provides for mechanical destruction of potato vine on the day of harvesting. The second variant, the removal of vegetable tops was performed mechanically 10 days before harvesting. The third – the removal of the potato vine was performed chemical method using the Reglon, BP 10 days before harvesting. In the fourth variant, the vegetative mass were removed mechanically 20 days before harvesting the mechanical way 10 days before the harvesting. The fifth variant, the the potato vine were removed by Reglon, BP 20 days before harvesting. In variants with the removal of the potato vine,10 and 20 days before the harvest, the gross output was lower (29.3-33.0 tonne/ha) than in the variant with mowing of the vegetative mass on the harvesting day -35.0 tonnes/ha. In the variant of mechanical and chemical destruction of potato tops 20 days before harvesting, the yield of a large fraction was 3.9 and 4.3 tonnes/ha, respectively; 10 days before harvesting-5.4 and 5.1 tonnes/ha; when mowing on the day of harvesting – 6.4 tonnes/ha. The removal of the above-ground biomass of potato plants using the mechanical way 10 and 20 days before the harvesting, has significantly limited yield of standard seeds -18.0 and 17.6 tonnes/ha, respectively, the output of tubers - 410,8 and 394,7 thousand tubers per a hectare, in comparison with the variant with mowing on the harvesting day - 19.2 tonnes/ha; 429.6 thousand tubers per a hectare. In variants using Reglon, BP 10 and 20 days before harvesting and mowing on the day of harvesting, the yield of seed potatoes, which requires GOST 53135-2008 was 19.1; 19.4 and 19.2 tonne/ha, respectively. The removal of the vegetative mass of potato plants using the chemical 10 and 20 days before the harvesting and the mechanical way 20 days before harvesting reduced the potatoes with surface damage to 10.09-13.32%, when mowing the tops for 10 days-16.55% and on the day of harvesting-16.84%. The potatoes with mowing of the vegetative mass on the day and 10 days before harvesting, the main types of damage were skinning of tubers on the area up to 1/2 of the tuber – 6.84% and 6.59% , and tubers with severe damage – 8.50% and 8.70% in the total yield. The use of Reglon 10 and 20 days before harvesting reduced the number of tubers with several surface damage to 4.69%, and strong damage to tubers-6.87% in the total yield of tubers
THE INFLUENCE OF PRE-SOWING TILLAGE ON THE YIELD OF SPRING WHEAT IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE VOLGA FOREST-STEPPE
Authors: Sabitov Marat
Published: April 2022

The purpose of the research is to study the influence of early spring tillage techniques on the formation of spring wheat yield. The work was carried out in 2017-2019 in Ulyanovsk region. The soil area is represented by leached chernozem, medium-sized with a humus content of 6.22%, mobile phosphorus and potassium according to Chirikov – respectively 198 and 121 mg/kg, pHsol – 6.4 units, the sum of absorbed bases - 46.4 mg.-eq./100 g. The scheme of the field experiment provided for the study of the following options for pre-sowing tillage against the background of the use of N50P16K16: 1. Harrowing + cultivation; 2. Harrowing; 3. Cultivation. The soil density (1.10...1.15g/cm3) was found in favorable values for wheat, and did not worsen its condition. The reserves of productive moisture in the arable and meter layer of the soil before sowing were significantly higher than the harrowing option – 54.3 and 152.4 mm. The absence of pre-sowing cultivation did not affect the processes of nitrification in the soil. There is a tendency to a higher biological activity of the soil (33.3%) after harrowing. In general, the experimental plots were relatively clean of weeds, so there was no significant difference in the options. The yield of spring wheat in all variants of the experiment was almost the same 2.96...2.98 t/ ha. The lowest costs were observed on the harrowing option – 16614 rubles/ha, which was 6.1% lower than the classical pre-sowing tillage, and the cost of this option was 5508 rubles per ton of grain or 7.5% lower. The net income for the harrowing option amounted to 3,586 rubles per hectare, which is 55.7% higher than the classic option. The reduction in production costs led to an increase in profit and profitability of this option – 21.8%.

The technique and installation for conducting research of an experimental sprayer on the effect of the pressure of the working solution and air on the dispersion of its spraying is given. The results of the study on the effect of air pressure and the working solution of the biological product on the dispersion of spraying with an experimental sprayer are presented, images of droplets of a sprayed solution of black dye are scanned and recognized with the help of a developed computer application. The results of an objective analysis of the data obtained are presented in the form of a mathematical model of quadratic regression describing the dependence of the dispersion of the working solution when spraying it with an experimental sprayer on the pressure of liquid and air, the values of the regression coefficients are calculated. The rational values of the operating parameters of the experimental sprayer are given: the pressure of the working fluid in the range of 0.2 ...0.4 MPa and air - 0.1 ... 0.3 MPa. At these parameter values, the sprayer provides the formation of sprayed particles with sizes from 100 to 220 microns
STUDY OF THE ISOLATION OF ERGOT SCLEROTIA FROM GRAIN MATERIAL IN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF SALT
Authors: Saitov Viktor , Kurbanov Rustam , Saitov Aleksey
Published: April 2022

Food products from rye grain have the most valuable properties for improving human health. However, crops of this crop often infect poisonous ergot sclerotia. Modern grain cleaning machines do not provide complete isolation of ergot sclerotia from rye grain during cleaning in one technological cycle due to the similarity of their physical and mechanical properties. Repeated passage of the grain material through the cleaning mechanisms in order to completely isolate the poisonous ergot sclerotia from the grain material dramatically increases the cost of the cleaning process. Ergot sclerotia have a lower density than a full-fledged rye grain, which makes it possible to separate them according to this criterion in an aqueous solution of an inorganic salt. The aim of the study is to determine the efficiency of the isolation of poisonous ergot sclerotia and to identify the loss of grain Pz into waste during in-line immersion of the grain material in a liquid, depending on the specific grain load gsp at different densities ρzh of an aqueous salt solution. As objects of research, it was accepted to study the isolation of ergot sclerotia from winter rye grains of the Falenskaya 4 variety with a moisture content of 14% by density in an aqueous salt solution and to determine the possible losses of high-grade grain to waste. Studies have been carried out when grain material is supplied by a flow from a height h = 60∙10-3 m into water (ρzh = 1000 kg/m3) and an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) with a density ρzh = 1030…1180 kg/m3 with varying specific grain load gsp with values of 0.674…7.221 kg/(s∙m). It has been established that at a density of an aqueous solution of salt ρzh = 1150 kg/m3 and a specific grain load gsp = 0.674…1.469 kg/(s m), 100% ergot sclerotia emerge to the surface of the solution, and the loss of grain Pz to waste does not exceed 2.52%, which meet the agrotechnical requirements for final grain cleaning machines

Authors: Vlasova Elizaveta , Tsiteladze David
Published: April 2022

Managing a portfolio of innovation projects is a complex task that requires special approaches and management methods. According to statistics, only 69% of innovation projects correlate with the strategic goals the company originally set for itself. Innovative projects involve working in an environment of constant variability, inaccessibility of information and high risk. The aim of the work is to propose a tool for managing a portfolio of innovative projects using fuzzy logic methods and simulation modeling to improve the performance of project managers and achieve the strategic objectives of the organization, and as a consequence, create a competitive advantage in the market. Research methodology is based on taking into account the theory of fuzzy logic and the theory of system dynamics to create a simulation model by Bass diffusion.

The article proposes a tool for managing a portfolio of innovative projects using fuzzy logic and simulation modeling, and provides recommendations for combining the proposed tool with modern PMIS and analytical systems that allow pre-project and post-project analysis, which allows you to manage and monitor the performance of the portfolio throughout the full cycle of its implementation.

The whakataukī (Māori proverb) above has particular resonance for us as midwives as we head toward the end of yet another challenging year of the Covid-19 pandemic. This whakataukī reminds us that working in unity and paddling in rhythm are essential when, as a profession, we are all sitting in the same waka (canoe). If the waka moves faster in the rapids, we may feel anxious about the possibility of falling out but we have to trust the person who is guiding the waka to navigate us to the desired destination. This is not always easy to do when we feel out of our depth but, as the familiar midwifery mantra states, sometimes we have to “trust the process”.

Trabajadores maduros: la era digital y la edad como motivos de discriminación social y laboral
Authors: Roldán Conesa Juan María
Published: April 2022

Es consabido que la desigualdad es un problema que se caracteriza por sus diferentes modos de expresión, pero de forma notoria, mediante la discriminación y la vulneración de derechos de un determinado grupo. En el orden laboral, podemos encontrar que la discriminación se visibiliza de manera fehaciente por diversas cuestiones, siendo la discriminación por edad, la más frecuente en las empresas y organizaciones por encima de la de género, cultura o raza. Pero desde hace pocas fechas, los avances en materia de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, se están manifestando como otro motivo de discriminación. Es por ello, que podemos encontrar este tipo de discriminaciones en cualquier país del mundo, al margen de su desarrollo social o económico, ya que las personas trabajadoras de edad avanzada conforman un elevado porcentaje del total de empleados mundiales. En el acercamiento a la discriminación por edad como objeto de estudio es imposible no hacerlo sin ponerla en relación con la evolución demográfica. Según un informe de Eurostat, en el año 2060 un tercio de la población europea la conformarán personas mayores de 65 años, de las cuales, un elevado porcentaje no tendrá formación alguna en nuevas tecnologías. De igual forma, la disminución de la población, el envejecimiento de la misma o el incremento de la esperanza de vida, son circunstancias que por separado, deberían llevar a una reflexión sobre la incidencia de la edad en el mercado laboral. Estas particularidades tendrán a corto y medio plazo, distintas consecuencias tanto a nivel prestacional como asistencial, pero de igual forma, será apreciable de manera notable en cuanto al empleo. Es por ello, que surge la necesidad de superar los estereotipos que dan lugar a una concepción errónea de la edad como factor negativo laboral, la cual, se basa fundamentalmente en la reducción de las capacidades físicas y mentales de las personas trabajadoras, dando como resultado, una serie de restricciones que derivan en una clara discriminación de este grupo de trabajadores.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of trust, commitment, and satisfaction on customer loyalty and, in turn, the indirect effect of satisfaction on customer loyalty at post-implementation of the Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI).
Methodology: A model is advanced and tested using partial least squares path modeling (PLS-SEM) and data were collected from a sample of 200 banking industry customers in Indonesia.
Findings: The results indicate significant and positive relationships among trust, commitment, satisfaction, and customer loyalty. Moreover, it is found that satisfaction has an indirect effect in relation to trust, commitment, and customer loyalty. The findings and limitations are discussed and recommendations for the policy makers and researchers are also provided.

Introduction: One of the obstacles faced by MSEs to achieve independence in entrepreneurship is limited working capital. The government through Bank Indonesia has required banks and microfinance institutions to provide working capital to SMEs. However, there are obstacles in its distribution, namely the fulfillment of the requirements for submitting financing related to MSE financial information. There are still many MSEs that cannot provide accurate financial information because they do not carry out financial management properly, such as making financial reports. Meanwhile, fund providers, including Islamic microfinance institutions, require financial information to analyze the customer's ability to repay the financing.

Purpose: Knowing how the financial management of MSEs and the obstacles faced in making financial reports, and how MSEs provide financial information to obtain working capital from Islamic Microfinance Institutions.

Methodology: This research was conducted with a descriptive qualitative method. The object of this research is the financial reporting of MSEs that are needed by Islamic Microfinance Institutions in making decisions to accept or reject the application for financing by MSEs. The data used are primary and secondary data obtained through interviews, documentation, and observation.

Findings: The majority of UMK KSPPS BMT Niten customers do not perform financial management, especially in preparing financial reports. Constraints were faced due to the lack of awareness of MSEs on the importance of financial management, especially in preparing financial reporting, lack of knowledge about financial management, especially in preparing financial reporting, and limited time. KSPPS BMT Niten obtains financial information of prospective UMK customers or financial information of existing UMK customers through direct interviews.

Published: April 2022

The paper provides an in-depth analysis of the artifacts generated by the Telegram Messenger application on Android OS which provides secure communications between individuals, groups, and channels. Since the past few years, the application went through major changes and updates and the latest version’s artifacts varied from the previous ones. Our methodology is based on the set of experiments designed to generate the artifacts from various use cases on the virtualized environment. The acquired artifacts such as messages, their location, and data structure how they relate to one another were studied and were then compared to the older versions. By correlating the artifacts of newer version with the older ones, it shows how the application have been upgraded behind the scenes and by incorporating those results can provide investigators better understanding and insight for the certain evidence in a potential cybercrime case.

Published: April 2022

Background:

Caregivers share cancer experiences with patients, but little is known about their own experiences in the end-of-life phase, the most difficult phase in the caregiving journey.

Aims:

To describe the experiences of caregivers of cancer patients admitted to a hospice in South Africa.

Methods:

A qualitative design was used; 22 (n=22) participants were purposively selected and in-depth interviews were conducted. Analysis of the data was by qualitative content analysis.

Findings:

A total of three themes arose from the data: emotional responses towards the caregiver role, personal cost of caregiving and spiritual issues relating to caregiving.

Conclusion:

Caring for cancer patients during the last phase of life was not easy. Responsibilities overwhelmed the participants and they were emotionally exhausted. They lacked knowledge of how to care and experienced a heavy financial burden. Despite the challenges that they faced, faith and religious practices served as a coping mechanism and kept some going.

Authors: Corral Cheryl
Published: April 2022

A number of genetic and environmental factors are involved in the development of orthopaedic diseases that affect the growing dog. While genetic factors cannot be influenced once the parents have been bred, environmental factors can be managed in order to reduce the risk of prevalence of these conditions. Research suggests the main environmental factors that may impact the growing dog's joints include nutrition, exercise, home environment, age of neutering and body condition. This article addresses each of these factors to allow veterinary staff to best advise owners on how to protect the joints of the growing dog.

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is one of the most common congenital diseases seen in dogs, which usually will result in heart failure and death if left untreated. Veterinary nurses play a key role in the care of these patients through all stages of diagnosis and treatment, and understanding the disease process allows nurses to provide a higher standard of care through preparation and understanding of likely effects and outcome of disease on patients. This case report looks at the diagnosis, treatment and nursing care provided to a young crossbreed dog diagnosed with a PDA following auscultation of a loud, continuous heart murmur.
Empirical Mode Decomposition with Random Forest Model Based Short Term Load Forecasting
Authors: Vaish Jayati , Tiwari Anil Kumar , K. Seethalekshmi
Published: April 2022

This paper presents a hybrid methodology for improving load forecasting in electric power networks by combining the time-frequency data analysis method based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) with the Random Forest (RF) technique. The performance of the hybrid EMD-RF model is tested on real-time load data of Bengaluru city, Karnataka (India) from 01st January 2019 to 30th June 2019. An ensemble empirical mode decomposition is applied to decompose original load data into various signals known as intrinsic mode functions (IMF). The meteorological variables (MV) such as moisture content, dew point, dry bulb temperature, humidity, and solar irradiance (SR) are also taken into consideration for the day ahead seasonal STLF. The decomposed signals are further analysed using the ensemble learning-based Random Forest (RF) technique. The result obtained from the model is aggregated to obtain the final forecasted result. The superiority of the hybrid EMD-RF model is established through a comparative statistical error analysis with other non-decomposition and decomposition methods based on EMD-Bagging, EMD-ANN, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Bagging, and Random Forest (RF).

n order to get information on the mammalian species of the Guartela State Park, Southern Brazil, we interviewed 12 individuals who live near the studied area, in September 2003, by means of open-ended interviews. The results obtained have allowed the elaboration of a list of 37 species of mammals. Information about the local people hunting has indicated that this presents subsistence character, being the mentioned animals as most hunted: Cuniculus paca, Dasypus sp., Nasua nasua, Mazama sp., Dasyprocta azarae, and Hydrochaerus hydrochaeris. Comments about the predation has pointed Leopardus pardalis, L. tigrinus, Chrysocyon brachyurus, Cerdocyon thous, Pseudalopex gymnocercus, Didelphis sp., and Myrmecophaga tridactyla as predators of domestic animals, such as chickens and dogs, while the Puma concolor is considered the sheep predator. Considering alterations in the mammal composition, most people believe in the decline of the richness and abundance of the mammals, which would be related to the reduction of food availability. Such information represents an important source of knowledge of medium and large size mammals that can be used to guide future studies as well as conservation programs to be conducted in the Campos Gerais region in Paraná State, Brazil.
