Since Indonesian accounting standards allow companies to choose between cost model and revaluation model on their fixed asset, there are still few companies that revalued their assets. This study examines what factors make banking companies choose to revaluate fixed asset, that are contracting factors (leverage, operating cash flow), political factors (firm size) and asymmetry information (intensity of fixed assets). By using logistic regression, the result of this study showed that firm size and fixed asset intensity had a positive effect on the company choice to revaluate fixed assets, while leverage had a negative effect on fixed asset revaluation. This study support early research with regard to contracting, political cost and asymmetry information. This study failed to find the effect of operating cash flow on fixed asset revaluation. Based on the results of this study, banks should consider leverage, company size and the intensity of fixed assets more than cash flow when choosing to revaluate fixed assets. Keywords: Leverage; Operating Cash Flow; Size Firm; Fixed Asset Intensity; Fixed Asset Revaluation

This study investigated the influence of sand content on the mechanical behaviour of a low plasticity clay found in Iraq. Samples were prepared with sand contents of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% of the weight of the clay. Standard Proctor and unconfined compression tests were carried out and the optimum moisture content, maximum dry density, and undrained shear strength were determined. The results showed a gradual increasing trend of the maximum dry density with the increase of the sand content up to 30%. The highest dry density reached was 1.90 gm/cm3 corresponding to an optimum moisture content of 12%. In addition, it was also found that the undrained shear strength was inversely proportional to the increase of the percentage of sand. Thus, the dry density of the clay could be increased well above 1.70 g/cm3, which is the minimum dry density accepted as a compacted subgrade according to the Iraqi General Specifications for Roads and Bridges (2003); hence, the rejected low plasticity clay could be utilised by mixing with sand. The reasons for the increase of the dry density and the decrease of the undrained shear strength has been extensively discussed in the paper.

Authors:   Kufa University, Al-Jumaili Mohammed
Published: June 2021

Rutting in flexible pavement is one of the main permanent deformation which appears in most Iraqi roads owing to high temperature and the increase in axial excessive heavy trucks load, these combined conditions cause a major impact on the road performance. The polymers used as additives to improve the properties of asphalt and, that leads to achieve high quality asphalt mixture. This humble research focused on finding the suitable treatment for such issue by using SBS and HDPE. Whereas 5 percent for each polymer was used (2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10%) by weight of total mix. A different percentage of polymers were used in order to achieve the best additive percent which was proved to be (8% HDPE, 6% SBS) for wearing (III A) layer and (6% HDPE, 2% SBS) for binder layer. As well as the results showed that using the optimum percent of additives for each layer of asphaltic mixture and test it as one specimen formed from two layers, has decreased the rutting percent by (72%, 65%) for (HDPE, SBS) respectively for each type of additives at (40ºC).

Exploring Age and Gender Differences in Narcissism and Perfectionism and Their Mental-Health Correlates
Authors: Kállay Éva , Mihoc Alexandra Rebeca
Published: June 2021

"The changes occurring in modern society can significantly influence individuals’ well-being, mental health and even personality traits such as narcissism and perfectionism. Since studies investigating age and gender differences in narcissism and perfectionism have produced mixed results, and the number of studies conducted in Romanian population is scarce, the main aims of this study were to investigate possible age and gender differences in narcissism, perfectionism and several mental-health indicators in a sample of healthy participants, as well as specific association patterns between these variables within each group of participants. Our sample included 465 millennials and 149 participants over 35 years of age. The results indicate that millennials reported significantly lower levels of narcissism and self-oriented perfectionism than the older generations, higher levels of depressive symptoms and lower levels of autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, and self-acceptance. Female millennials reported lower levels of narcissistic traits and higher levels of socially-prescribed perfectionism, depressive symptoms, personal growth, and positive relations with others than male participants. Older females indicated significantly higher levels of depressive symptoms and loneliness than male participants. Regarding association patterns, in the group of millennial women narcissism was positively correlated with self-oriented, socially-prescribed perfectionism and subjective well-being, and negatively with loneliness, environmental mastery and purpose in life. In millennial males, we found significant positive correlations only between narcissism and subjective well-being and environmental mastery. Our findings may have important implications for the literature regarding millennials and can contribute to the interventions and prevention programs designed to improve their well-being.

Love That Takes Time: Pursuing Relationship in the Context of Hiddenness
Authors: King Derek
Published: June 2021

This paper offers a fresh strategy for responding to J.L. Schellenberg’s argument from divine hiddenness, called the dianthropic strategy. First, it shows how Schellenberg’s understanding of openness is deficient by arguing that openness to relationship is consistent with initial concealment. Then, the paper develops the dianthropic strategy, which focuses on the role of other persons in making a relationship between God and the nonbeliever more likely. It distinguishes this strategy from the responsibility argument and anticipates objections.

Authors: Wicaksono Agung
Published: June 2021

The background of this research is that generally students understand the concept of multiplication and division of integers by memorizing. Basically, the memorization method will be appropriate if you memorize it, you know and understand what you have memorized. So that students do not just memorize alone. However, students really understand what they have memorized, and the teacher in providing material on multiplication and division of integers is only glued to the textbook but does not use other solutions that are easier for students to understand. To improve students' understanding of the operations of multiplication and division of integers, learning uses an Open-Ended approach that designs a solution and answer in the operation of multiplication and division of integers with more than one solution and answer. The main objective of this research is to find out how big the Open-Ended learning approach is in improving the understanding of fifth grade students of Al Ankabut SDIT Al Fahmi on the operations of multiplication and division of integers. In this study, the researcher conducted classroom action research with six students as research subjects who were selected based on their ability level, consisting of six students, namely two students with low abilities, two students with moderate abilities, and two students with high abilities. The process of collecting data was done through tests, observations, interviews and field notes. The action was carried out four times, namely Action (1) was learning about all the elements in multiplication using Open-Ended learning through a structural approach. Action (2) is learning about integer multiplication operations with the application of Open-Ended learning through a structural approach. Action (3) is learning about all the elements in the division using Open-Ended learning through a structural approach. Action (4) is learning about the operation of dividing integers by applying Open-Ended learning through a structural approach. The results show that learning with an Open-Ended approach can improve the understanding of fifth grade students at Al Ankabut SDIT Al Fahmi Palu in the operations of multiplication and division of integers.

Burung nuri merupakan salah satu relief burung yang sering muncul di Candi Plaosan Lor, Jawa Tengah. Masyarakat di Pulau Jawa juga sering memelihara burung nuri, meskipun sebenarnya burung nuri merupakan endemik Pulau Sulawesi, Maluku dan Papua bukan Pulau Jawa. Ada tiga kemungkinan burung nuri berada di Pulau Jawa, dan dipahatkan dalam relief Candi Plaosan Lor, pertama sebagai upeti atau hadiah, kedua sebagai komoditi perdagangan, dan ketiga hanya penggambaran atau imajinasi si pemahat. Lalu bagaimana relief burung nuri ada di Candi Plaosan? Dan bagaimana eksistensinya? Kenyataannya populasi burung nuri sudah semakin terancam dengan adanya perburuan dan perubahan habitat menjadi pertanian, perkebunan, pemukiman, dan lainnya. Kedua pertanyaan tersebut akan dijawab dalam tulisan ini yang berdasarkan pada kajian kualitatif deskriptif, dengan teknik pengambilan data berupa wawancara dan pengamatan.

Imperatives of the "Renaissance" of individualism and the formation of its new circuit in the political economy analysis
Authors: SALIKHOV Boris V.
Published: June 2021

Subject. The article focuses on the updating of individualism as a natural ontology of modern liberal economy.
Objectives. The aim is to explore the possibility of realizing the real potential of the paradigm of individualism, which may have various forms of manifestation, and may position itself as a new, qualitatively holistic and productive "being".
Methods. The methodological perspective and the disciplinary matrix of the study are based on the use of creative potential of the dialectics of "essence and phenomenon", as well as the possibilities of logical and epistemological analysis of modern functional models of socio-economic development. I perform a content analysis of modern domestic and foreign sources of data.
Results. It is possible to verify the controversial nature of the judgment about the obsolescence of the neoliberal paradigm of methodological individualism, where it is necessary to distinguish between the dysfunctional monetary-plutocratic form of individualism and the essence of individualism as such, which contains unrealized creative potential of a possible new "being". I offer an approximate outline of the new qualitative integrity of the individualistic concept, where the spiritual-moral and value-semantic attractor becomes the "center of gravity".
Conclusions. At present, the individualism needs fundamental updating. The scientific and practical significance of the article’s provisions consists in the attempt to continue the discussion within the search for the most effective model of socio-economic development, the formation of a new subject field, and concretization of the phenomenology of methodological individualism as an ontology of modern political economy analysis.

ENGINEERING, PATRIARCHY, AND THE PLURIVERSE: WHAT WORLD OF MANY WORLDS DO WE DESIGN? WHAT WORLDS DO WE TEACH?
Authors: Mutch Stephanie , Borland Matt , Mercer Kate
Published: June 2021

This paper presents a brief review of sustainability definitions and analyzes ways of designingtaught in our Engineering education system, specifically acknowledging the capitalist, patriarchal, colonial, Western world that much, if not most, of current Engineering practice situates itself within. Included in these frameworks are pluriversal design, co-design, participatory design, and discursive design. Another important topic that will be examined is the dualist perspective embodied in Engineering practice that creates a distinction between “man” and “nature”.  While this problem is inherently systemic, our intention is to provide a partial record of our own critical selfreflection,contextualized using critical theory. It is intended as a starting place for settler-descendent NorthAmerican educators to begin to contextualize our own approaches, not as a way for us to guide steps forward, but instead to begin a self-critique of current approaches that need continued work.
Pivoting Engineering Entrepreneurship Education Following the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Cao Tate Ning. , Chang Wayne , Bazan Carlos , Bubbar Kush
Published: June 2021

The spread of COVID-19 has significantly disrupted the educational landscape since March 2020.Instructors at higher education institutions had to quickly transition to an online environment for remote delivery of their academic programs. Even though academic programs are relatively easy to adapt for remote delivery as compared to other industries, educators were still tasked with redesigning their courses to guarantee the quality of education delivered to their students.  This challenge is particularly true with engineering entrepreneurship educators since their course structures heavily focus on developing intangibles such as an entrepreneurial mindset and team collaboration through immersion into hands-on learning experiences. To create this experiential learning environment, engineering entrepreneurship educators have, in general, relied uponface-to-face interactions with students. Little has been published in the existing literature to report the challenges, strategies, and innovations that can help transition effectively and deliver such academic programs remotely. In this paper, the authors from four major Canadian higher education institutions report our experience from ‘trial-byfire’ mode to redesign and deliver various courses for remote learning. This paper is by no means presenting validated “best practices” but aims to trigger discussions surrounding tools available to educators considering such a transition. We hope that this paper will provide insights and strategies for our colleagues to employ in their future course design and delivery. We also hope to invite a conversation to learn more about our colleagues’ experiences and explore opportunities to identify and validate approaches for effectively teaching engineering entrepreneurship in a remote learning environment.
PIVOT FOR THE PANDEMIC: COMPARISON OF TOY AND SCIENCE DEMO DESIGN PROJECTS IN A FIRST YEAR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING COURSE
Authors: Milne Andrew J B , Fraser Roydon , Baleshta J , Collins Michael
Published: June 2021

The first year course, “ME 100: Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Practice, 1”, was redesignedfor the Fall 2017-2019 offerings. The goals of the redesign were to include: a major design project, opportunities for individual communication assessments, and opportunities for development of professional skills. A toy design project was piloted in Fall 2017 as a unifying course theme. In thisproject, industrial partners come to discuss the engineering and design that happens in the toy industry.  They also help critique student work as they design a toy of their choosing. With the impacts of COVID 19 the decision was made to pivot to a challenge to design new classroomphysics demonstrations. The course redesign has generally been successful. Both projects have been well received by students, faculty, and industry partners, with students reporting on an end-of-term survey that it was engaging and doable, and that it helped develop their confidence andunderstanding of design, and mechanical engineering. The demo project was generally slightly better received, with 2-8% more students agreeing to statements about the usefulness and appeal of the project. Both projects, the toy project especially, serve as a vehicle to discuss differentaspects of design and professionalism. Challenges exist with giving students guidance at the start and throughout the project to ensure that all student teams have suitably scoped projects. There is also the challenge of helping students develop a design mindset, as several groups struggle with performing the justified decision making necessary to actual design a toy.

Design courses in engineering education provide the space in the curriculum to synthesizetheoretical and technical knowledge gained from coursework. As students gain new knowledge and acquire skillsets, there is a need to demonstrate how the learning connects to their professional actions. With practice and rehearsals, students realize the values and dispositionsthey need to possess to be deemed a disciplinary member. In this paper, through semi-structured interviews of six design instructors, we report what instructors think is the epistemic role of design courses in instilling disciplinary values in an Engineering Science program.
ANALYSIS OF HOW CAPSTONE TEAMS DEFINE ENGINEERING DESIGN FAILURE
Authors: Fayyaz Farrah
Published: June 2021

There is a growing trend in engineering education to increase the societal awareness among theengineering graduates, so that the engineering solutions proposed by the engineers are more sustainable. To achieve this, one of the efforts in Concordia University is to ask capstone students to discuss and implement (wherever possible) ethical, legal, social, environmental, and entrepreneurial aspects of their capstone design. Students are given two lectures during the capstone year which provides them with prompts to identify and think beyond their personal biases and perceptions of the society. At the end of the term, each capstone team is asked to define engineering failure. The aim for this is for graduating students to have a well thought of idea of the engineering design failure before they enter the workplace. This article explains the two phases (lectures) of the capstone lectures related to the ethical, legal, societal, environmental, and entrepreneurial aspects of an engineering design. Additionally, the article aims to analyze the definitions of engineering failure submitted by the engineering students at the end of the capstone year to identify keywords and terms that the graduating engineering students attribute to success and failure of an engineering design. The objective of the paper is to open the discussion among engineering educators for incorporating ideas in their courses that can improve engineering students’ understanding of a sustainable design and assess the success of these strategies.

Authors: Wiercioch Magdalena
Published: June 2021

The study aims to determine the impact of high school students’ socio-demographic characteristics from Podkarpackie Voivodeship on the level of use of modern forms of payment and banking services and to assess the security levels of these tools. The data was obtained through a survey where the research tool was a questionnaire conducted among students. The study of the literature on the subject and reports from other studies on similar topics were used. Research has shown that socio-demographic characteristics influence the level of use of some modern payment and banking services such as secure online payments, mobile applications for online shopping and electronic banking. Young male respondents expressed higher ratings for mobile banking security as well as for electronic payments. Similarly, the level of parents’ education was associated with an increase in students’ positive assessment of the security of mobile banking and electronic payments. The results suggest a need to increase financial knowledge and awareness among young people and their parents in modern forms of payment and banking services.

Background:Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a potentially life-threatening disease that remarkably impacts patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study evaluated the HRQoL in children with HAE and compared it with healthy controls and patients with histaminergic angioedema (HA).Methods:Fifty-nine children with HAE (median [interquartile range {IQR}], ages, 8.9 years [5.4‐12.6 years]), 60 children with HA (median [IQR] ages, 10.3 years [8‐15.4 years]), and 72 healthy controls (median [IQR] ages, 10.3 years [6.6‐13.9 years]) were recruited. All the children and their families completed the age-adapted KINDL generic instrument for assessing health-related quality of life in children and adolescents.Results:The total HRQoL score and other subscales scores of both the patients with HAE and patients with HA, and the parent-proxy reports were significantly lower than those of the healthy children (p < 0.05). In the patients with HAE, the age at symptom onset was positively correlated with physical well-being (r = 0.335;p= 0.043) and negatively correlated with self-esteem (r= ‐0.324;p= 0.049). In addition, the physical well-being scores were affected by the site of attacks, which was significantly lower in the patients with abdominal pain attacks (p= 0.045). The family scores and total scores were statistically significantly higher in the HA group than the HAE group (p< 0.001 andp= 0.009, respectively). A significant correlation was found between self-report and parent-proxy HRQoLs in total and all subscales scores in the patients with HAE. For HA, there were no significant correlations for family scores.Conclusion:HAE caused significant impairment of the HRQoL of children and their families, and affected their lifestyle and quality of life. In pediatric patients with HAE, the HRQoL is mainly related to age at symptom onset and the site of attacks. Although patients with HAE are affected more negatively than the patients with HA, HA affected the quality of life as well.
