Authors: Korol Svitlana
Published: August 2021

Introduction. The study of cash flows of the enterprise in today's conditions is impossible without the use of financial resources, among which a significant place is occupied by cash. Their receipt and use requires special control, as in case of violation of their direction will inevitably be an imbalance, which will lead to changes in the components of economic resources, technical equipment of production or financial dependence of the enterprise. A comprehensive analysis of the company's cash flows makes it possible to conduct their financial and economic diagnosis and highlight performance indicators. All this highlights the importance of systematizing our knowledge in the field of cash flows with an emphasis on key aspects.
Purpose of the article is to conduct a financial and economic assessment of cash flows of the enterprise, which will highlight the indicators of their efficiency.
Method (methodology). The research used such methods as logical, which allowed to analyze scientific works in the field of cash flows; analytical, which was used to analyze and evaluate cash flows in the enterprise; graphical, which allowed to interpret the results in a time range.
Results. It is concluded that the theoretical research of the main aspects in the direction of cash flows is insufficient. In our opinion, the inaccuracy of the definition of "cash flows" contributes to a misunderstanding of their essence, which comes down to identifying them with the concept of "cash", and therefore a diagonal between these definitions. The necessity of financial and economic diagnostics of cash flows at the enterprise is substantiated. The main directions of cash flow depending on the activities of the enterprise, in particular in terms of operating, financial and investment activities of the enterprise. Indicators of cash flow efficiency of the enterprise are singled out. The unevenness of the company's cash inflows in terms of certain activities of the company, as well as a significant dependence of the company on borrowed funds. It is established that the practical aspects of the study of cash flows require further study in the direction of cash flow planning of enterprises in a changing environment.

Published: August 2021

Introduction. According to the document "Transforming our world: Agenda for sustainable development until 2030" adopted at the UN Summit on Sustainable Development, Ukraine has committed to 169 tasks under 17 goals by 2030. One of the goals of sustainable development is to provide equal experience in quality education, including lifelong learning.
The aim of the study is determining the impact of migration processes on the level of higher education coverage in Ukraine.
Research methods. To achieve the paper’s aim, the authors applied the following methods and tools: to assess stationarity - tests of Dickie Fuller (information criterion Akaike) and Phillips Perron (criterion Bartlett Kernel), to assess the integration of data - Johansen test, to identify factors influencing the study on the result - ECM-modeling.
Results. The obtained results give grounds to conclude that a 5% level of statistical significance of the growth of public spending on education, GDP per capita and remittances from abroad lead to an increase in the level of higher education in Ukraine. Thus, the hypothesis of a statistically significant impact of migration processes and education expenditures on the level of higher education coverage is confirmed. In this case, the authors highlight that Ukrainian government should develop adjusting policies to improve the effectiveness of public policy on migration management and increase the share of education spending in the country. However, it should be noted that the population growth rate negatively affects the level of higher education coverage.
Perspectives. Further research is needed to determine the strength of the impact of average wages, unemployment, environmental conditions, social progress and others factors on migration processes as determinants of improving the education in the country and achieving sustainable development goals.

The majority of people in rural areas in their daily life work as farmers and rely on agricultural products to meet their daily needs. The problem is that the income from farming is not sufficient to meet daily needs. Therefore, it is necessary to study the contribution of farm income to total household income. The method used in this research is the literature review method. The results of several studies indicate that the characteristics of farmers in rural areas have an average primary school education (more than 50%), while the average age of farmers is still in the productive age. The average contribution value of rice farming from several studies with different areas from several research results is more than 50%, meaning that farmers depend on rice farming days to fulfill all their daily needs rather than relying on side jobs, while the contribution of tobacco farming from several research results from less than 50%. In calculating the contribution of many researchers who have not included time susceptibility, either yearly, seasonally, or monthly, this will affect the tabulation of the calculation of non-farm income.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using various types of liquid smoke on the level of preference of panelists and the total of contaminant bacteria on yellowfin tuna meatballs. The liquid smoke used came from coconut shells, corncob, and bagasse. The tuna meatballs without the use of liquid smoke were also observed as a control. The tuna meatballs were analyzed before storage, after 15 days, and after 30 days storage (temperature 5oC). The research was designed by a completely randomized design (CRD) factorial pattern. The tuna meatballs were examined for organoleptic (hedonic) tests on color, flavor, taste, and texture as well as microbial tests of Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella sp. Proximate tests (moisture content, ash content, and protein content) were carried out on meatballs with the lowest microbial total after 30 days of storage. The data obtained were analyzed using variance analysis (ANOVA). Duncan's continued Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was carried out if the treatment was significant. The results showed that adding liquid smoke to the boiling water of the meatballs can only increase the panelist's preference for color attributes. Tuna meatballs without the use of liquid smoke could not be consumed after 15 days of storage. The tuna meatballs with the addition of liquid smoke from bagasse in the boiling water have met the national standards for fish meatballs listed in SNI 7266: 2014 until 30 days of storage. The resulting yellowfin tuna meatballs had 59.76% moisture content, 1.41% ash content, and 11.8% protein content.

Authors: Kimani Grace Wambui , Maingi James
Published: August 2021

In Kenya, government expenditure has been changing tremendously in its composition and size. Noticeably, since Kenya’s independence, government expenditure has witnessed great expansion. However, the country has not achieved consistent economic growth for a long duration of time. Despite the increase in allocation of resources through increasing public spending, economic growth has not grown at the same rate. As such, economic growth did not consummate with the increase in allocation of resources through government expenditure. The study sought to determine the effect of education expenditure, defense expenditure, health expenditure and infrastructure expenditure on economic growth. It used an explanatory research design and secondary time-series data for the period between 1985 and 2018. Data on education expenditure, defense expenditure, health expenditure as well as infrastructure expenditure and economic growth was acquired from Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. The quantitative data was collected, edited and coded into Statistical software known as STATA version 14. Analysis of the quantitative data was based on descriptive as well as inferential statistics. Correlation analysis was employed to assess the strength of correlation between independent and dependent variables whereas regression analysis determined the weight of association between independent and dependent variables. Diagnostic test was performed to test for the regression model assumptions before carrying out regression analysis. The research focused on autocorrelation test, stationarity test, autocorrelation test, normality as well as heteroscedasticity test. The study revealed that education expenditure had a positive effect on economic growth in Kenya. The study found that defense expenditure had a positive effect on economic growth in Kenya. The results revealed that health expenditure had a positive effect on economic growth in Kenya. In addition, the study found that infrastructure expenditure had a positive effect on economic growth. The study concludes that government expenditure has a significant effect on economic growth in Kenya. The study policy implication of the study is that Kenyan government as well as policy makers should formulate policies and guidelines geared towards increasing education expenditure. This will help in ensuring adequacy in a trained, qualified and productive labor that is important in ensuring an improvement in economic growth. In addition, the government of Kenya should allocate at least 15 percent of their total expenditure to the healthcare so as to ensure a productive and healthy workforce. The government also needs to increase infrastructure funding as recommended by the World Bank to between 7 and 9 percent.

Published: August 2021

Commercial banks serve as key financial intermediaries in facilitation of the flow of money in the banking industry. Commercial banks offer credit to investment banks in order to offer investment opportunities for risky investments especially for financial securities using depositors’ money. Globally, banks are affected by broad difficulties in the operating environment. The banking industry has embraced innovation to sustain competitiveness. Financial innovations used by commercial banks revolve around the latest product, service and its conveyance to consumers. Consequently, this information influenced the research with its aim as; investigating innovative banking applications and monetary capability of banks. Particular goals included examining how; real time gross settlements (RTGS), electronic fund transfers (EFT), pay bill innovation in mobile banking and the extent of agency banking influence monetary potential of banks. Research anchored on the Schumpeter theory of innovations, the agency and bank-led theories. It was explanatory in nature and applied a census approach to gather information. The targeted group included commercial banks registered under the Central Bank totalling to 42 tiers 1. Raw and derived data was equally utilized including, financial statements and face to face interviews with top level managers. Collected information was examined by SPSS. Given conclusions were dispensed descriptively, and by inferring to statistical presentations. The resulting conclusion was that; when RTGS, agency banking, EFT, and mobile banking are solely brought up/down by a single unit, financial performance increased/ decreased by 0.163, 0.27, 0.197, and 0.318 units. At a constant however, financial performance remained at 0.236 out of 5 units. In conclusion, commercial in banks have significantly relied on innovative banking practices to shift their financial performance to new heights. The study has particularly placed both mobile and agency banking at a more central position in driving financial performance to the desired level than other factors including the RTGS and EFT. As part of the recommendations, managements of commercial banks should consider scaling up their adoption of RTGS, agency banking, EFT, and mobile banking as ways of reducing the operating cost of their respective banks reducing banking hall congestions since most of the frequently sought banking services can be achieved without one on one meeting with the bank tellers. Management should also consider adopting more innovative banking practices besides those this research investigated.

Resilient city memiliki beberapa prinsip di antaranya prinsip ketahanan bencana, ketahanan pangan, ketahanan infrastruktur, ketahanan sosial, ketahanan sumber daya, serta integrasi alam. Melihat masalah yang ada di Kota Kendari, salah satu konsep yang paling efektif untuk diterapkan adalah konsep ketahanan infrastruktur. Sebagai mesin pertumbuhan, infrastruktur kota mempunyai risiko untuk terkena dampak bencana. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi eksisting infrastruktur yang ada di Kota Kendari serta bagaimana menerapkan prinsip-prinsip ketahanan kota (Resilient City) pada Infrastruktur di Kota Kendari khususnya di kawasan BWK V sebagai lokasi yang cukup rawan bencana banjir. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dimana Cognitive Mapping digunakan sebagai teknik analisisnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa kondisi infrastruktur di lokasi penelitian dari segi fisik belum memadai. Ketahanan infrastruktur yang berbasis pada resilient city dapat diterapkan mulai dari tahap perencanaan sampai pemeliharaan. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat digunakan oleh pemerintah sebagai acuan dalam mengembangkan kota berketahanan terhadap bencana.

Tujuan studi untuk mengetahui seberapa besar pengaruh material lansekap terhadap perubahan iklim mikro di lingkungan beriklim tropis lembab. Material lansekap memiliki sifat termofisis tertentu yang dapat mempengaruhi perubahan iklim mikro. Variabel iklim mikro dalam studi ini dibatasi hanya suhu permukaan, dan suhu udara. Sasaran material lansekap adalah bata, tanah keras, pavingstone, pepohonan, dan air kolam taman. Metode penelitian adalah analisis deskriptif kuantitatif.  Melalui studi ini dilakukan pengukuran sifat termofisis pada material lokal yaitu bata dan paving-block, dengan menggunakan kalorimeter dan termokopel. Juga di lakukan pengukuran iklim mikro di kawasan jasa di pantai kota Manado, yaitu radiasi matahari, suhu udara, dan suhu permukaan bahan. Kemudian dilakukan perhitungan menggunakan program komputer HEAT2 untuk alat bantu analisis perubahan suhu permukaan berbagai bahan lansekap. Hasilnya  menunjukkan bahwa saat tengah hari, pepohonan dapat mereduksi radiasi matahari di naungannya sampai 80 %. Pada saat yang sama, apabila berada di bawah terik matahari, material bata, paving dan tanah keras, dapat menyebabkan suhu permukaan yang bisa mencapai 50 0C. Suhu permukaan air kolam taman juga dapat mencapai 50 0C, namun di kedalaman 50 cm lebih dingin menjadi 25 0C. Air berpotensi sebagai pendingin lingkungan, apabila terjadi pencampuran air dasar kolam dan permukaannya

Published: August 2021

Pemanfaatan pencahayaan alami pada rumah tinggal dapat tercapai secara optimal jika mampu memanfaatkan bukaan-bukaan, seperti: jendela, skylight, dan ventilasi. Pencahayaan matahari yang masuk dari samping atau dari atas bangunan dapat diatur kuantitasnya dengan menggunakan louver. Pada masa pandemi Corona seperti saat ini menyebabkan waktu kita sebagian besar dihabiskan di rumah. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut maka penelitian ini bertujuan menemukan model louver yang paling mampu mengoptimalkan pencahayaan alami pada rumah tinggal khususnya pada ruang kerja, ruang makan, dan dapur. Sampel penelitian yang digunakan adalah rumah tipe 27/60 yang menghadap ke arah barat daya. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode eksperimen dengan menggunakan simulasi Ecotect. Ada 3 model rumah yang disimulasikan, yaitu: model rumah eksisting dan 2 model rumah yang dimodifikasi baik dari bentuk rumah dan model bukaannya. Ketiga model rumah tersebut disimulasikan menjadi 3 kondisi, yaitu: tanpa louver, horizontal louver, dan vertical louver. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan horizontal louver lebih mampu mengurangi cahaya matahari yang masuk dibandingkan vertikal louver. Model yang terbaik adalah model 2 dengan solar control berupa horizontal louver. Hal tersebut disebabkan karena model 2-horizontal louver mempunyai selisih nilai lux dengan SNI 6197:2020 yang paling rendah dan mempunyai tingkat uniformity ratio cukup tinggi.

Introducing a Pure Weight-Based Concept for Automatic Test Case Generators
Authors: Bazzichi Franco
Published: August 2021

For decades, automatic test case generators driven by context-free grammars usually have adopted a derivation method designed to obtain the minimum set of shortest sentences.
Within this paper, a pure weight-based approach is described: such approach uniquely uses weights to select a rule while expanding a nonterminal symbol; we will assess how it is always possible to identify balanced weights which ensure the convergence of the process and we will see how the generated sentences are usually more complex than the shortest ones, and having additional chances to exercise the underlying system more extensively as confirmed by experimental results.

Hybrid Framework on Automatic Detection and Recognition of Traffic Display board Signs
Authors: Kanthavel R
Published: August 2021

Automatically identifying traffic signs is a challenging and time-consuming process. As the academic community pays more attention to traditional algorithms for vision-based detection, tracking, and classification, three main criteria drive the investigation, they are detection, tracking, and classification. It is capable of performing detection and identification operations to minimize traffic accidents and move towards autonomous cars. A novel method proposed in this paper is based on moment invariants and neural networks for performing detection and recognition with classification, and it also includes automatic detection and identification of traffic signs and traffic board text that uses colour segmentation. Aside from the proposed structure, it is also required to identify the potential graphic road marking with text. This research article contains two algorithms, which are used to accurately classify the board text. The detection through image segmentation and recognition can be done by using the CNN algorithm. Finally, the classification is performed by the SVM framework. Therefore, the proposed framework will be very accurate and reliable with high efficiency, which has been proven in many big dataset applications. The proposed algorithm is tested with various datasets and provided good identification rate compared to the traditional algorithm.
