New and known species of the genus Campylaimus Cobb, 1920 (Nematoda: Araeolaimida: Diplopeltidae) from North European marine habitats
Authors: Holovachov Oleksandr
Published: October 2019

The genus Campylaimus is a broadly distributed but relatively uncommon genus of marine and brackish nematodes with 20 nominal species and one nomen nudum. Many species descriptions and redescriptions are based on very few (single) individuals, which limits our understanding of inter- and intra-specific variability and morphology-based species boundaries.

Two new species were found in the Skagerrak off the west coast of Sweden. Campylaimus triclados sp. n. is characterised by body 0.59–0.69 mm long; cuticle without longitudinal striation; anteriormost edge of the amphid anterior to the oral opening; dorsal limb of the amphid equal to 1.6–2.5 labial region diameters in male, 1.9 labial region diameters in female; ventral limb of the amphid extends towards anterior part of the intestine in male and midpharynx in female, 4.3–5.5 times the length of the dorsal limb in male and 2.2–2.8 times the length of the dorsal limb in female; ventral limb of the amphid is as wide as the dorsal limb; interamphideal space extends further than the posterior end of the dorsal limb but not reaching the posterior end of the ventral limb; secretory-excretory pore opens posterior to the cardia; spicules 19–24 µm long; two precloacal supplements; tail equal to 4.3–5.6 anal body diameters in length, with conoid terminal part. Campylaimus longispiculus sp. n. is characterised by body 0.56–0.65 mm long; cuticle without longitudinal striation; anteriormost edge of the amphid anterior to the oral opening; dorsal limb of the amphid equal to 1.8–2.1 labial region diameters in male; ventral limb of the amphid extends towards anterior part of the intestine in male, 2.8–3.5 times the length of the dorsal limb in male; ventral limb of the amphid is as wide as the dorsal limb; interamphideal space absent; secretory-excretory pore opens posterior to the cardia; spicules 28–35 µm long; two precloacal supplements; tail equal to 4.9–5.3 anal body diameters in length, with clavate terminal part. In addition, following nine species are new records for the fauna of Sweden: Campylaimus amphidialis, C. inaequalis, C. lefeverei, C. minutus, C. orientalis, C. rimatus, C. siwaschensis, C. striatus and C. tkatchevi.
Citizen science yields first records of Hippocampus japapigu and Hippocampus denise (Syngnathidae) from Taiwan: A hotspot for pygmy seahorse diversity
Authors: Heard Joseph , Chen Jeng-Ping , Wen Colin K C
Published: October 2019

Relatively very little is known about pygmy seahorses, and even basic information regarding their distributions is largely inconsistent and often based on unofficial reports. However, monitoring marine diversity, particularly for small and cryptic species, such as pygmy seahorses, can be both costly and time consuming. In such cases, the use of citizen science can offer an effective tool for addressing knowledge gaps caused by a lack of biodiversity-related data. Scuba divers and underwater photographers were engaged through social media in order to investigate pygmy seahorse diversity in Taiwan. Using this approach five species of pygmy seahorses were identified, including two new records for Taiwan: Hippocampus denise and Hippocampus japapigu, the latter of which is the first record of the species from outside of Japan. These new records mark Taiwan as one of the world’s pygmy seahorse diversity hotspots, matching that of Japan and Indonesia, as well as demonstrating the value of citizen science for marine biodiversity monitoring, particularly for small cryptic species.
A Review and Characterization of the MDS Process in Nursing Homes
Authors: Straker Jane K. , Bailer A. John
Published: October 2019

The Minimum Data Set (MDS) is a tool used by nursing homes for resident assessment and care planning, indicating facility quality and the extent of residents’ care needs. The process by which the MDS is completed by facilities has not been empirically studied. Understanding common strategies and practices for completing the MDS helps further comprehend the validity of the MDS and its relevance for focusing on residents and implementing clinical nursing interventions. This article reports on the responses to a survey questionnaire addressing this process by a sample of nursing homes in Ohio. The MDS assessment was found to be an intensive activity requiring the commitment of multiple staff members. Most facilities employed at least one full-time coordinator for this task. The importance of training was noted by a number of facilities, and the Resident Assessment Instrument manual was highlighted as one of the most valued resources for completing this assessment.
CP MAS kinetics and impedance spectroscopy studies of local disorder in low-dimensional H-bonded proton-conducting materials

Published: October 2019

The 1H–13C cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CP MAS) kinetics was studied in poly(vinyl phosphonic acid) (pVPA), i.e. material with high degrees of freedom of proton motion along H-bonded chains. It has been shown that the CP kinetic data for the adjacent 1H–13C spin pairs can be described in the frame of the isotropic spin-diffusion approach. The rates of spin diffusion and spin-lattice relaxation as well as the parameters accounting for spin coupling and the effective size of spin clusters have been determined. The local order parameter S ≈ 0.63±0.02, determined as the ratio of the measured dipolar 1H–13C coupling constant and the calculated static dipolar coupling constant, is significantly lower than the values deduced for related sites in other polymers and in series of amino acids. This means that the local disorder of the C–H bonds in pVPA is between those for rather rigid C–H bond configurations having S = 0.8–1.0 and highly disordered –CH3 groups (S ~ 0.4). This effect can be attributed to the presence of the proton transfer path where proton motion is easy to activate. The activation energy for the proton motion Ea = 59±7 kJ/mol was determined from the impedance spectroscopy data analysing the temperature and frequency dependences of the complex dielectric permittivity of pVPA. The rates of proton spin-lattice relaxation and spin diffusion are of the same order and both run in the time scale of milliseconds.
Brazil Natural Gas Flaring and Its Regulatory Regime
Authors: Camargos Paula Maria Nogueira , Albuquerque Letícia Moreira , Saad Hugo Candiá
Published: October 2019

Gas flaring is the controlled burning of natural gas that cannot be processed for sale or use because of technical or economic reasons. This operation is directly associated with CO2 emission and waste of energy source. As the reduction of CO2 footprint became a matter of great concern in the world, Government of diverse countries has created different strategies to mitigate the issue. For this reason, authorities use Legislation as the main tool to limit the volume of gas flaring. In Brazil, National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP) is the regulatory body responsible for regulate the natural gas flaring and venting. The instrument used is the PORTARIA ANP N° 249, published on November 1st, 2000. However, the Brazilian industry has dramatically changed after the producing starting of pre-salt fields, pointing out the necessity of the ordinance revision. After analyzing the gas flaring data from FPSOs before the gas injection start, it is suggested the adoption some guidelines for gas commissioning phase for offshore units. It is also highlighted the effectiveness of CO2 taxation in Norway as well as the possibility of zero routine flare technology implementation. Finally, to achieve lower gas flaring numbers is essentially the development of politics to make economically feasible the use of all waste gas to produce energy.

PurposeWe investigated the efficacy of temozolomide during and after radiotherapy in Korean adults with anaplastic gliomas without 1p/19q co-deletion.Materials and MethodsThis was a randomized, open-label, phase 2 study and notably the first multicenter trial for Korean grade III glioma patients. Eligible patients were aged 18 years or older and had newly diagnosed non-co-deleted anaplastic glioma with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive radiotherapy alone (60 Gy in 30 fractions of 2 Gy) (control group, n=44) or to receive radiotherapy with concurrent temozolomide (75 mg/m2/day) followed by adjuvant temozolomide (150-200 mg/m2/day for 5 days during six 28-day cycles) (treatment group, n=40). The primary end-point was 2-year progression-free survival (PFS). Seventy patients (83.3%) were available for the analysis of the isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 gene (IDH1) mutation status.ResultsThe two-year PFS was 42.2% in the treatment group and 37.2% in the control group. Overall survival (OS) did not reach to significant difference between the groups. In multivariable analysis, age was a significant risk factor for PFS (hazard ratio [HR], 2.08; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04 to 4.16). The IDH1 mutation was the only significant prognostic factor for PFS (HR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.13 to 0.59) and OS (HR, 0.19; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.50). Adverse events over grade 3 were seen in 16 patients (40.0%) in the treatment group and were reversible.ConclusionConcurrent and adjuvant temozolomide in Korean adults with newly diagnosed non-co- deleted anaplastic gliomas showed improved 2-year PFS. The survival benefit of this regimen needs further analysis with long-term follow-up at least more than 10 years.
Type decomposition in NIP theories
Authors: Simon Pierre
Published: October 2019

A first order theory is NIP if all definable families of subsets have finite VC-dimension. We provide a justification for the intuition that NIP structures should be a combination of stable and order-like components. More precisely, we prove that any type in an NIP theory can be decomposed into a stable part (a generically stable partial type) and an order-like quotient.

Limitations of stabilizing effects of fundamentalists: facing positive feedback traders
Authors: Baumann Michael Heinrich , Baumann Michaela , Erler Alexander
Published: October 2019

The authors analyze financial interactions between chartists with bounded leverage and fundamentalists within a heterogeneous agent model, focusing on the role of fundamentalists to stabilize prices. While many related studies are solely based on simulations, the authors analytically prove that the existence of fundamentalists is insufficient to avoid asset price bubbles for a certain setup of a feedback trader model. Moreover, similar studies very often face the criticism that chartists might run out of money before the emergence of bubbles, as these studies typically analyze the role of chartists with unbounded leverage. In the work at hand, however, the authors prove that even in an environment where chartists have limited access to finance, their investment behavior can lead to exploding prices. The chartists under study are so-called positive feedback traders, whose leverage is bounded. Additionally, the authors derive upper boundaries for positive feedback traders’ initial investment necessary to avoid exploding prices. In order to stabilize stock/asset markets, intervention measures might be helpful.
Wat wetenschappelijk onderzoek ons leert over de fraude-detectievaardigheid van de controlerend accountant
Authors: Verwey Inez , Bosman Tjibbe
Published: October 2019

In de publieke opinie wordt de zorg geuit of de accountant zijn verantwoordelijkheid met betrekking tot fraude tijdens de jaarrekeningcontrole wel waar kan maken. Die zorg kan terecht zijn (prestatiekloof) dan wel gebaseerd zijn op verkeerde verwachtingen wat van de accountant kan en mag worden verwacht (verwachtingskloof en evaluatiekloof). Fraude ontdekken is niet eenvoudig, blijkend uit de vaststelling dat bij fraudegevallen vaak duidelijk wordt dat de accountant tijdens de jaarrekeningcontrole de fraude niet heeft vastgesteld. Op basis van een review van wetenschappelijk onderzoek op het gebied van fraudedetectie door de controlerend accountant dragen wij praktijkgeoriënteerde suggesties aan, die de fraudedetectie door de controlerend accountant kan verbeteren en tevens de publieke opinie kan funderen. Het gebruik van standaardcontroleprogramma’s, checklists en heel specifieke documentatie blijkt averechts te werken. Daarentegen blijkt het toepassen van principes uit de mental accounting theory, het uitvoeren van een constructieve brainstormsessie en het variëren van de aard van de controlewerkzaamheden de fraude detectievaardigheid wel te verbeteren. Daarnaast bespreken wij de toegevoegde waarde van de inzet van forensische accountants tijdens de jaarrekeningcontrole, alsmede van welke forensische vaardigheden of eigenschappen controlerend accountants kunnen leren.

Dit artikel beschrijft een kwalitatieve studie met als onderzoeksvraag hoe risicomanagement de woningcorporaties helpt om haar doelstellingen te realiseren. Voor de woningcorporatie betreft dit het nastreven van de doelstellingen volgens de Woningwet en het uitvoeren van maatschappelijke taken. Naast een literatuurstudie hebben wij praktijkonderzoek uitgevoerd naar het risicomanagement bij zeven grote woningcorporaties. Uit het praktijkonderzoek blijkt dat woningcorporaties voorzichtig zijn om risico’s te nemen bij het realiseren van doelstellingen en om hierin te investeren. De interactie met stakeholders als de gemeente en huurders is van cruciale betekenis in het risicomanagement gericht op de maatschappelijke doelstellingen waaronder leefbaarheid in de wijk.
An exploration on measuring and assessing ‘Tone at the Top’ with Dutch listed companies (AEX)
Authors: Versteeg Bastiaan , Bertrand Robert
Published: October 2019

This article explores the measurement and assessment of Tone at the Top (TATT) in CEO letters of Dutch listed companies (AEX) over a 10 year period. A combination of quantitative (text analysis) and qualitative research (close reading) is conducted. The main findings indicate that measured TATT is relatively stable for AEX companies over time. However, at closer examination significant deviations from the mean TATT are evident. Possible explanations are provided for these out-of-range TATT scores through the identification of several variables, e.g., difficult operating circumstances, investments and disinvestments, changes in the composition of supervisory boards, corporate governance, and compliance with law and regulations.

Published: October 2019

Abstract. Nitrous acid (HONO), an important precursor of the hydroxyl radical (OH),
has long been recognized as of significance to atmospheric
chemistry, but its sources are still debated. In this study, we conducted
continuous measurement of HONO from November 2017 to November 2018 at the
SORPES station in Nanjing of eastern China. The yearly average mixing ratio
of observed HONO was 0.69±0.58 ppb, showing a larger contribution to
OH relative to ozone with a mean OH production rate of 1.16 ppb h−1. To
estimate the effect of combustion emissions of HONO, the emitted ratios of
HONO to NOx were derived from 55 fresh plumes (NO∕NOx > 0.85), with a mean value of 0.79 %. During the nighttime, the chemistry of
HONO was found to depend on RH, and heterogeneous reaction of NO2 on
an aerosol surface was presumably responsible for HONO production. The average
nighttime NO2-to-HONO conversion frequency (CHONO) was determined
to be 0.0055±0.0032 h−1 from 137 HONO formation cases. The
missing source of HONO around noontime seemed to be photo-induced, with an
average Punknown of 1.04 ppb h−1, based on a semi-quantitative
HONO budget analysis. An over-determined system of equations was applied to
obtain the monthly variations in nocturnal HONO sources. Besides the
burning-emitted HONO (accounting for about 23 % of the total concentration), the
contribution of HONO formed heterogeneously on ground surfaces to measured HONO was an
approximately constant proportion of 36 % throughout the year. The soil
emission revealed clear seasonal variation and contributed up to 40 % of
observed HONO in July and August. A higher propensity for generating HONO on
aerosol surfaces occurred in severe hazes (accounting for 40 % of the total concentration in
January). Our results highlight ever-changing contributions of HONO sources
and encourage more long-term observations to evaluate the contributions from
varied sources.
Application of parametric speakers to radio acoustic sounding system
Authors: Adachi Ahoro , Hashiguchi Hiroyuki
Published: October 2019

Abstract. In this study, a wind profiler with a radio acoustic sounding system (RASS)
and operational radiosonde measurements were used to investigate the
technical practicability and reliability of using parametric speakers to
measure the vertical profile of virtual temperature. Characteristics of
parametric speakers include high directivity and very low side lobes, which
are preferable for RASS, especially those operating in urban areas. The
experiments were conducted on fine days with light winds to mitigate the
effects of the horizontal and vertical components of wind on acoustic waves
used for RASS. The results of this study indicated that, although parametric
speaker RASS is susceptible to horizontal winds due to the narrower acoustic
beam, bias and standard deviation of parametric speaker RASS versus
radiosonde virtual temperature difference (0.1 ∘C, 0.4 ∘C) were close to those from acoustic speakers (0.0 ∘C,
0.4 ∘C). In addition, when compared with acoustic speaker RASS,
the values for the parametric speaker RASS were even smaller (0.1 ∘C, 0.2 ∘C). Based on these results, it is concluded that the
parametric speaker RASS has accuracy and precision comparable with acoustic
speaker RASS despite its high directivity of sound.
Estimation of cloud optical thickness, single scattering albedo and effective droplet radius using a shortwave radiative closure study in Payerne
Authors: Aebi Christine , Gröbner Julian , Kazadzis Stelios , Vuilleumier Laurent , Gkikas Antonis , Kämpfer Niklaus
Published: October 2019

Abstract. We have used a method based on ground-based solar radiation measurements and radiative transfer models (RTM) in order to estimate the following cloud optical properties: cloud optical thickness (COT), cloud single scattering albedo (SSAc) and effective droplet radius (reff). The method is based on the minimisation of the difference between modelled and measured downward shortwave radiation (DSR). The optical properties are estimated for more than 3,000 stratus-altostratus (St-As) and 206 cirrus-cirrostratus (Ci-Cs) measurements during 2013–2017, at the Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN) station in Payerne, Switzerland. The RTM libRadtran is used to simulate the total DSR, as well as its direct and diffuse components. The model inputs of additional atmospheric parameters are either ground- or satellite-based measurements. The cloud cases are identified by the use of an all-sky cloud camera. For the low- to mid-level cloud class St-As, 95 % of the estimated COT values from DSR measurements (COTDSR) are between 11.9 and 91.5 with a geometric mean and standard deviation of 33.81 and 1.67, respectively. The comparison of these COTDSR values with COTBarnard values retrieved from an independent empirical equation, results in a mean difference of −1.20 ± 2.73 and is thus within the method uncertainty. However, there is a larger mean difference of around 18 between COTDSR and COT values derived from MODIS level-2 (L2), Collection 6.1 (C6.1) data (COTMODIS). The estimated reff (from liquid water path (LWP) and COTDSR) for St-As are between 2.1 and 20.4 μm. For the high-level cloud class Ci-Cs, COTDSR is derived considering the direct radiation and 95 % of the values are between 0.32 and 1.40. For Ci-Cs, 95 % of the SSAc values are estimated to be between 0.84 and 0.99 using diffuse radiation measurements. The COT values for Ci-Cs are also estimated from data from precision filter radiometers (PFR) at various wavelengths. The herein presented method could be applied and validated at other stations with direct and diffuse radiation measurements.
Forcing mechanisms of the quarterdiurnal tide
Authors: Geißler Christoph , Jacobi Christoph , Lilienthal Friederike
Published: October 2019

Abstract. We used a nonlinear mechanistic global circulation model to analyze the migrating quarterdiurnal tide (QDT) in the middle atmosphere with focus on its possible forcing mechanisms. These are absorption of solar radiation by ozone and water vapor, nonlinear tidal interactions, and gravity wave-tide interactions. We show a climatology of the QDT amplitudes, and we examined the contribution of the different forcing mechanisms on the QDT amplitude. To this end, we first extracted the QDT in the model tendency terms. Then, we separately removed the QDT contribution in different tendency terms. We find that the solar forcing mechanism is the most important one for the QDT, but also the nonlinear and gravity wave forcing mechanism play a role in certain seasons, latitudes and altitudes. Furthermore, destructive interference between the individual forcing mechanisms are observed. Therefore, tidal amplitudes partly become even larger in simulations with removed nonlinear or gravity wave forcing mechanism.
Relationships between leaf δ15N and leaf metallic nutrients
Authors: Chen Chongjuan , Wu Yingjie , Wang Shuhan , Liu Zhaotong , Wang Guoan
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Metallic nutrients play a vital role in plant physiological and biochemical processes such as nitrogen uptake and assimilation, which cause isotopic fractionation against 15N. Thus, investigating the relationships between leaf nitrogen isotope ratio (δ15N) and leaf metallic nutrients could enhance our understanding of nitrogen (N) cycling. However, to our knowledge, these relationships have not been examined as yet. To fill in this research gap, we analyzed leaf δ15N and leaf potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) contents of 624 non-N2-fixing plant samples and revealed the relationships between leaf δ15N and these metallic elements. Overall, leaf δ15N correlated positively with leaf K, Ca, Mg and Zn, and negatively with leaf Fe, whereas not with leaf Mn. The relationships of leaf δ15N with leaf K, Ca, Mg, Zn and Fe were not affected by both vegetation type and soil type, suggesting that the observed relationships could be universally valid. However, the relationship between leaf δ15N and leaf Mn depended on vegetation type and soil type, therefore, the observed relationship should not be considered to be universal. These metallic nutrients together accounted for 55.7 % of the variations in leaf δ15N; this emphasized the significance of metallic nutrients in determining leaf δ15N.
Description and evaluation of the Diat-HadOCC model v1.0: the ocean biogeochemical component of HadGEM2-ES
Authors: Totterdell Ian J.
Published: October 2019

Abstract. The Diat-HadOCC model (version 1.0) is presented. A simple marine ecosystem model with coupled equations representing the marine carbon cycle, it formed the ocean biogeochemistry sub-model in the Met Office's HadGEM2-ES Earth system model. The equations are presented and described in full, along with the underlying assumptions, and particular attention is given to how they were implemented for the CMIP5 simulations. Results from the CMIP5 historical simulation (particularly those for the simulated 1990s) are shown and compared to data: dissolved nutrients and dissolved inorganic carbon, as well as biological components, productivity and fluxes. Where possible, the amplitude and phase of the predicted seasonal cycle are evaluated. Since the model was developed to explore and predict the effects of climate change on the marine ecosystem and marine carbon cycle, the response of the model to the RCP8.5 future scenario is also shown. While the model simulates the historical and current global annual mean air–sea CO2 flux well and is consistent with other modelling studies about how that flux will change under future scenarios, several of the ecosystem metrics are less well simulated. The total chlorophyll is higher than observations, while the primary productivity is just below the estimated range. In the CMIP5 simulations certain parameter choices meant that the diatoms and the misc-phytoplankton state variables behave more similarly than they should, and the surface dissolved silicate concentration drifts to excessively high levels. The main structural problem with the model is shown to be the iron sub-model.
What the Meaning of Success in Female Entrepreneurs’ Perceptions? An Interview-Based Study
Authors: Amin Shofia , Widiastuti Fitri , - Fitriaty
Published: October 2019

Entrepreneurs are those who are brave and willing to take a risk for success or failure. The idea of success itself has many meanings and factors behind it. By using qualitative design, this research aimed at exploring the meaning of success for female entrepreneurs and the factors that influenced their success. Data were collected through an in-depth interview with four female entrepreneurs who owned culinary business. Findings showed that the participants perceived the definition of success as the stage when they can meet financial needs such as ownership of house, vehicles and able to go Umrah. Then the financial success will shift to psychological success which formed as an inner satisfaction because they can help people by employing them, share and give some to others or families. To be successful, personal factors, internal and external support from family are really matter. Understanding the meaning of success and the factors influenced it will have implications for determining strategy in achieving success.

“A Black School Is Not Supposed to Win”: Black Teamwork at Howard University, 1970–74
Authors: Scott Jermaine
Published: October 2019

The Americanization of soccer during the 1960s and 1970s marketed the game as a sport for white Americans. This process, however, was interrupted when Howard University’s soccer team, made up of black athletes from the Caribbean and Africa, won the national championship in 1971. The following year, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) stripped Howard of its title because of apparent eligibility violations. This paper analyzes the racial governance of the NCAA and the ways in which Howard University responded to the Americanization of soccer—what I am calling “black teamwork.” Moreover, I am interested in the diasporic formation of Howard’s “black team” and the political implications it carries for black subjects seeking racial justice. In short, this essay will look at soccer as a space for the articulation of a diasporic black politics.

Published: October 2019

Of the aim of this investigation is to show the methods of studying the trademarks development to better understand their role in modern economy and advertising. Along with the methods, we have tried to postulate that the concept “property” accelerate their wide-spreading and necessity.  It was established that the creators (brand designers) use some cognitive techniques to make a new trade-name. Often some semantic methods help them to from a new name and in the article we tried to illuminate this linguistic aspect. Taking into consideration that all of our research is made into the semiotics field of science, we, of course, drew attention to the pragmatic aspect of the investigated linguistic material. We concluded that, all trademarks in certain teaching methods, effort at the implementation of the commercial intentions. The present article deals with the educational approaches aimed at the development of a positive evaluation in the perception of this or that trademark; phonosemantic strategies, implemented in the process of brand naming, are shown. According to the results we are going to continue our investigation in the field of semiotics, in other words we want to study verbal, non-verbal and heterogenous brands and mechanism and models of the methods.

Educating the Reputation Capital Impact of a Region on the Parameters of Its Investment Activity: Methodical Approaches
Authors: Safiullin Marat Rashitovich , Grunichev Alexander Stanislavoich , Elshin Leonid Alekseevich
Published: October 2019

As a practice and empirical observations show, the educational activity of economic agents forms a whole set of prospects for their development. It is due to stable positive or, on the contrary, negative expectations of prospective counterparts that interact with the economic agents, of the possibilities of their development in both the conjuncture and the institutional directions. In this regard, education is very important, and its study is becoming widespread in the research field. Meanwhile, it should be noted that the studies of the question posed in the space of scientific work and research mainly concentrate on the micro-level. That is, the vast majority of works are devoted to the study of the education of firms as one of the most important "representatives" of economic agents. At the same time, the study of educational capital and its influence on the development of regional / national economic systems is unfairly deprived of attention. It is necessary to state that in recent years, the attention of scientists began to focus more and more on the issues set earlier. However, the theory of the territories' educational economy has not yet received development and attention. This largely restrains the research paradigm based on the study of intangible factors of production in the system of socio-economic development of regions or national economic systems in general.In this regard, and to level this gap, the time course of the reputation capital index for the Republic of Tatarstan and the main components determining its level are built in this paper based on the developed methodological approaches to a formalized assessment of the reputation of a territory. This allowed us to assess the reputation impact on the investment activity of a region using the methods of econometric modelling. In particular, being guided by the principles and tools of regression analysis, as well as relying on the method of dummy variables, a high level of interconnection between the studied parameters was established by the authors due to the significant level of elasticity between the analyzed series found.

Published: October 2019

The article discusses the features of methods of teaching the history of language in a foreign language classroom. With regard to the increase of the number of applicants who enroll in Russian universities directly on the basis of secondary education, bypassing the preparatory faculties, which arises the problem of an insufficiently prepared group of learners, in which the disciplines related to the study of the history of the language are taught. Accordingly, the teacher has to solve the problem by revising the methodological approaches to the teaching of the discipline. In particular, it is necessary to vary the volume and content of the educational material, implement the principle of communicativeness in teaching, and use interactive ways to enhance the activities of the students. In fact, the courses become less academic and more oriented towards the practical application of acquired knowledge by the students in order to improve their own knowledge in the field of Russian grammar. We offer our view on the construction of courses "Old Slavonic language" and "Historical grammar of the Russian language" in a foreign audience, methods and ways to ensure the principle of continuity and the actualization of the knowledge gained when studying subsequent courses. The article discusses the types of assignments, by fulfilling which students reinforce their knowledge and skills. The work with foreign students, in the classes of the Old Slavonic language and historical grammar of the Russian language, is focused on creating in the students a positive attitude towards the Russian language and Russian culture.

Published: October 2019

The aim of this study was to identify and analyse the Islamic Education teachers’ attitudes, difficulties and purposes while using social media in the educational processes in the Saudi context. In doing so, this study adopted a quantitative, descriptive approach based on empirical data collected by means of a questionnaire. The study sample consisted of 124 teachers of Islamic Education in Hail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). While the participants reported positive attitudes towards the use of social media in the educational processes, the results showed their low use of social media which was limited mainly to personal purposes rather than using them for teaching learning activities. Based on the results, the study recommends developing teachers’ knowledge and skills to make them aware of the use of social media in education and encourage them to utilize them for teaching and learning activities. Since social media are ubiquitous and being widely used for personal reasons, their integration into the curricula and syllabi may further increase the teaching and learning of Islamic Education in Saudi Arabia.
A Feminist Stylistic Analysis of “Broken Verses” by Kamila Shamsie
Authors: Hussain Amna Noor , Jabeen Tahira
Published: October 2019

This research employed the feminist stylistic framework of Sara Mills in determining the difference between Kamila Shamsie’s women and men characters in her novel “Broken Verses”. The selected novel was analyzed using the model provided by Sara Mills, which aims to investigate texts at the level of word, phrase/sentence. The research identified dominant and recurring features in the novel. Women characters differ from the men in that there are more descriptions given to them which pertain to their thoughts, emotions, experiences, vulnerability towards men, and their physical characteristics. Men are described according to their physical strength, personalities, attitudes, which dominate women. Overall, the research shows that at these levels of analysis, the novel consistently foregrounds the female consciousness and experience. At the same time, the novel also magnifies the pervading dominance of men over women in many circumstances.
Translanguaging in the Case of Bilingual University Students
Authors: Alsaawi Ali
Published: October 2019

According to Garcia (2009), translanguaging is “… the act performed by bilinguals of accessing different linguistic features or various modes of what are described as autonomous languages, in order to maximize communicative potential” (p. 140). Therefore, it is more about communication than language use. Bilinguals tend to employ their linguistic repertoire as an integrated communication system. In the context of this study, senior university bilingual students majoring in business in Saudi Arabia are usually competent in their mother tongue (Arabic) and in their additional language (English) due to the nature of business. They are keen to maintain their ability in English as far as possible as they consider themselves “long-term English learners”. Today, Saudi Arabia is increasingly building bridges to the outside world and clearly proficiency in English is one such bridge, allowing Saudi Arabia to integrate with English-speaking countries. Stakeholders in Saudi Arabia are now seeking English-proficient applicants for jobs, regardless of their speciality, more so than previously. This has become the norm in both the public and private sectors. However, bilingual university students majoring in business still tend to employ their mother tongue regardless of their proficiency in English. This may indicate their views and feelings with regard to the need to be bilingual in any future work context. This study focuses on senior business students at Majmaah University. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the students (n=14) and their instructor (n=1). This paper reports on the students’ attitudes towards bilingual activities, specifically task-related discussions, and the impact on their communicative repertoire from their perspective.

Rozliczenie ze wspólnikiem występującym ze spółki
cywilnej – skutki podatkowe
Authors: Sobiech Agnieszka , Sobiech Maciej
Published: October 2019

Kwestia rozliczeń związanych z wystąpieniem wspólnika ze spółki została uregulowana w art. 871 ustawy z dnia
23 kwietnia 1964 r. – Kodeks cywilny [1, dalej „k.c.”]. Dla oceny skutków podatkowych wystąpienia wspólnika ze
spółki cywilnej zasadnicze znaczenie ma forma rozliczeń ze wspólnikiem. Wspólnik może otrzymać ze spółki
majątek w formie pieniężnej lub niepieniężnej. W wielu przypadkach wystąpienie wspólnika będzie zdarzeniem
neutralnym podatkowo, czyli w momencie wystąpienia ze spółki nie będzie powodować skutków podatkowych
Chaos legislacyjny w podatku od towarów i usług
Authors: Modzelewski Witold , Lipnicki Alan
Published: October 2019

Luka w podatku od towarów i usług – zwłaszcza do 2015 r. – stanowiła w Polsce ogromny problem w zakresie
poborów podatkowych, bo pomniejszała krajowe wpływy z tego tytułu o około 3% PKB w ujęciu rocznym. Podjęte
działania uszczelniające przyniosły znaczącą poprawę. Przyczyniło się do tego w szczególności wprowadzenie
znowelizowanego niedawno pakietu paliwowego i surowszych sankcji karnych (stanowiących adekwatną kryminalizację
patologicznych zjawisk). Niezależnie od powyższego w krajowym porządku prawnym istniała do niedawna
konstrukcja, która przynosiła w istocie odmienne od pożądanych skutki, czyli tzw. odwrotne obciążenie. Najnowsze
nowelizacje eliminują ten stan rzeczy, bo zastępują rozwiązania patologiczne skutecznym narzędziem, tj.
mechanizmem podzielonej płatności.
