Published: September 2020

Concrete with various variants is a basic requirement in building a building. The concrete mixture is diverse depending on the planning made beforehand. The cement mixture is usually in the form of a mixture of artificial stone, cement, water and fine aggregates and coarse aggregates. Aggregates (fine aggregates and coarse aggregates) function as fillers in concrete mixtures. (Subakti, A., 1994). However, in building construction, additives are often added, but there is still a sense of uncertainty at the time of dismantling the mold and the reference before the concrete reaches sufficient strength to carry its own weight and the carrying loads acting on it. To overcome the time of carrying out work related to concrete, it is necessary to find an alternative solution, for example by looking for alternative ingredients of concrete mixture on the basis of consideration without reducing the quality of the concrete. From the results of previous studies it was stated that due to the partial replacement of cement with Fly Ash, the strength of the pressure and tensile strength of the concrete had increased (Budhi Saputro, A., 2008). Based on the description above, the author seeks to examine how the compressive strength of concrete characteristics that occur by adding additives Addition H.E in the concrete mixture and is there any additive Additon H.E effect on the increase in the compressive strength characteristic of the concrete. From the results of the study, it was found that the compressive strength of the concrete with the addition of additives HE was that after the compressive strength test of the concrete cube was carried out and the analysis of concrete compressive strength of 10 specimens, in each experiment a cube specimen was made with the addition of additons. HE with a dose of 80 cc, 120 cc, and 200 cc can accelerate and increase the compressive strength of concrete characteristics.

Стаття присвячена висвітленню проблем сучасного стану та перспектив трансформації конституційно-правового регулювання публічної влади, врядування, територіального врядування в Україні, яке розглядається як процес системної взаємодії активних учасників (стейкхолдерів) публічної влади та публічного управління.

Висловлюються пропозиції про необхідність інноваційних підходів до трансформації публічної влади, виходячи з нової парадигми владарювання в Україні – парадигми належного врядування. Запропонована авторська позиція щодо оновлення публічної влади, врядування у різних сферах модернізації Конституції України.

Дана характеристика інновацій конституційно-правового регулювання, яка пов'язана з ініціативами Президента України і Парламенту України.

Робиться висновок про те, що сучасний стан конституційно-правового регулювання врядування в Україні характеризується наявністю чималих проблем щодо ефективного функціонування інститутів конституційного права, системного оновлення Основного Закону. Це диктує необхідність визначення перспектив подальшої трансформації зазначеного регулювання та його прискорення.

При цьому слід дотримуватись основоположних засад конституціоналізму, принципів та конституційних процедур.

Реалізація конституційного, політико-правового оновлення публічної влади, врядування в Україні має передбачати комплексну трансформацію системи владарювання в доктринальному і прикладному аспектах. Доцільно також визначитись із концепцією системного оновлення, модернізації Конституції України, без якої спроби реформування Основного Закону стають проблематичними. У прикладному вимірі доцільно запровадити систему громадського моніторингу та контролю за функціонуванням публічної влади щодо її модернізації з використанням традиційних і новітніх електронних форм безпосередньої демократії.

Idealist, Realist or Neo-Realist Financial Aid Donors to Pakistan
Authors: Lubaina Dawood  , Khadija Karim  , Gul Nagina  , Niamatullah
Published: September 2020

Foreign aid has always been an important source of finance for Pakistan. The flow of foreign aid depends upon the donor’s interest and motives that can differ as some may be truly interested in helping the recipient nation (Mumtaz, 2013). Some donors may have a national interest while others may want to enhance their economic relations which refer to the idealist, realist, and neo-realist theories of motivations respectively (Berthelemy, 2005). The present inquiry is informed by a qualitative interpretive approach based on semi-structured interviews regarding financial aid donor’s motives. The overall results revealed people's perception that America has an inclination for both Pakistan’s nation and region for its own benefits whereas the United Kingdom is interested in human resources. Saudi Arab and China have dual motives, one is the development of Pakistan and the other is security and trade interest respectively. So America is proclaimed as realist donors, United Kingdom as Neo-realist while Saudi Arab and China have mixed motivations. Both are Idealists with some realist and neo-realist motivation correspondingly. However other financial aid donors are not prominent amongst the Pakistani nations.
Nonverbal messages across cultures: Introducing nonverbal communication to university students
Authors: Stoian Claudia
Published: September 2020

Nonverbal messages represent an important part of everyday communication. People are seldom aware of them, and thus disregard their individual and cultural variability, in other words, their potential for misunderstandings. The present paper aims to raise students’ awareness of the importance of nonverbal messages for a successful (intercultural) communicative event, and to introduce them to various nonverbal codes. For this, it proposes several activities focusing on nonverbal communication, in general, and on its different codes, in particular. These can be done in (foreign) language and communication classes to prepare students for real-life multicultural communicative events.
Breaking down gender subtype perception
Authors: Kristina Dziallas  , Martin Borkovec
Published: September 2020

Gender stereotype research has identified many female and male subtypes, e.g. housewife, career woman, macho man, and wimp. Regarding their perception, several dimensions, such as Warmth, Competence, Traditionality, and Age, have been found to be meaningful in people’s cognitive organization of them. The present paper analyses gender subtype perception results obtained in an online questionnaire among English and Spanish participants who rated ten female and ten male subtypes on 15 scales. The subtypes were produced by the participants themselves in a prior study. The results are backed up by interview quotes of the same participants. Many of the findings conform to those of prior studies, e.g. the clear separation of female and male subtype clusters, while others are novel or contrary to previous research. Thus, the English male subtype mate is perceived both very masculine and feminine and the Spanish promiscuous female subtype guarra is seen as inherently different from the English equivalents.

Methodological aspects of cluster policy formation in Azerbaijan
Authors: Aliyeva Aygun
Published: September 2020

Foreign experience demonstrates that countries’ strategies in cluster policy differ depending on national traditions and culture of their strategy engineering process, as well as on the cluster concept. Analysis of information sources shows that technical and methodological framework for cluster policy formulation have not been clearly and unambiguously studied in science.

The most important methodological document on cluster policy is the European Cluster Memorandum signed by the Member States of the European Union in 2006 [3]. It defined the essence and importance of clusters in innovation development and identified the key provisions of cluster policy.

One of the essential methodological issues is the role of government in the formation of clusters. The following factors can be associated with the state’s growing influence on clustering processes:

market weakness, increase in the volume and value of public goods;

an objective priority of public interest in the context of globalization;

the need to protect the national economy in the international economic relations;

the need for institutional regulations in the national and global economy.

Foreign experience demonstrates that the numerous cluster initiatives running in major developed countries over the last few years have been brought forward by local or regional governments. In relatively small developed countries and in a number of developing countries, the government plays an essential role in the cluster development initiative, especially when local and regional government agencies cannot partner with the private sector. A number of decisions on clusters have been adopted at national level in countries with centralized decision-making process.

In total, 308 respondents completed the questionnaire, of which 54 (17.5%) were female and 254 (82.5%) were male. The mean age of the respondents was 30.5 years (SD = 7.5.). The respondents’ level of private self-awareness, particularly self-reflection and insight, and their level of well-being (depression, anxiety and aggression) were assessed. Intercultural competence was measured using APTOC, a 15-item scale that consists of 3 main subscales, namely Openness to Other Cultures, Global Mindset, and Narrow Mindset. Private self-awareness was measured with the Self-reflection and Insight Scale. Well-being was measured with three subscales of the Brief Symptom Inventory, namely Depression, Anxiety and Hostility. Openness to other Cultures, Global Mindset and Narrow Mindset were found to have a significant impact on Self-reflection and the well-being determinants (except Anxiety). There was a significant negative correlation between Narrow Mindset and Insight. Conclusively, Intercultural competence was found to have a positive impact on Private Self-awareness (Self-reflection and Insight) and Well-being of Syrians who reside in Germany.

Firm value is a basis for investors in deciding whether or not to invest in a firm. Therefore, a study on issuer’s strategies to maximize firm value requires special attention, especially in dealing with the Islamic capital market which is growing rapidly from time to time. A particular study is important to be conducted to look at the factors that have a direct or indirect effect on a firm's value, which includes; profitability, capital structure, and dividend policy. The path analysis approach is employed in the current study to reveal the effect of profitability on firm value, both directly and indirectly, with the intermediaries of capital structure and dividend policy. The results of the analysis indicate that profitability has a direct positive and significant effect on firm value and a negative and significant effect on capital structure, while the capital structure has a negative and insignificant effect on firm value. Indirectly, dividend policy moderates and strengthens the effect of profitability on firm value, but on the other hand, the capital structure does not mediate the effect of profitability on firm value. The absence of capital structure role in mediating the relationship between profitability and the firm value indicates that investors can determine the value of the firm directly by simply looking at the level of profitability, regardless of management’s strategy in arranging the capital structure.

Published: September 2020

This article evaluates the issue of public panic over the coronavirus outbreak in Indonesia from March to April 2020. The study was conducted with secondary data analysis sourced from competent online media, and was aimed to expand the panic scope as well as criticize the related theories in a collective behavior study. The results showed inconsistencies in the event of public panic in a crowd. This include while dealing with natural disasters, terror, sinking ships, fires, collapsed buildings or other physical threats, and also over invisible dangers, as observed with viruses. In addition, the individual disposition persists for a long time on occasions where the authorities, both political and academic, fail to immediately strategize a convincing countermeasure. Based on these findings, the study provides a critique of several theories, comprising crowd panic, emerging norms, and moral panic.

Role of peer educators in behaviour change communication interventions for HIV prevention among people who inject drugs: Systematic review article
Authors: Mabuie Maltez
Published: September 2020

Currently, there are 13 million People Who Inject Drugs (PWID) in the world of which 1.7 million people are HIV positive. Recent reports demonstrate that the risk of HIV transmission is significantly high among PWID, because these individuals are involved in risky behaviours; for instance, sharing equipment and involving themselves in risky, sexual activities more than the rest of the population.  Peer education is a key behaviour change strategy that draws on several theories such as information motivation behaviour skill theory; theory of reasoned action; and diffusion of innovation theory. In particular, peer educators have been considered important agents of behaviour change because they are capable of communicating with PWID and influencing the group norms.  The aim of the study is to look at the role of peer educators in behaviour change communication (BCC) intervention to prevent the spread of HIV among PWID. A systematic literature review was used as the method of choice for data collection. In particular, data were drawn from six highly relevant and most recent research journals. The results of this study demonstrate that peer education positively influences the norms, attitudes and believes of PWID.  In conclusion, the study provides evidence that peer educators play a fundamental role reducing harm and the spread of HIV. The study proposes the engagement of volunteers who assist PWID with their injections in BCC interventions in order to prevent the transmission of HIV.
The 4 phases of evolution of political communication systems: from the golden age of the parties to the golden age of the users
Authors: Tasente Tanase
Published: September 2020

The political media communication system began to develop, in a first phase, in the first two decades after the Second World War, this period being called by Blumler and Kavanagh (1999) as "the golden age of the parties" or as “the age of the newspapers”. In the 1960s, a new stage in the evolution of political communication systems began, when few national televisions put a monopoly on the media market, becoming the dominant medium in which political communication unfolded. This stage was named "the television era" or "the modern period of electoral campaigns". Two new aspects to the previous period of evolution are due to the diminution of the voters' loyalty and trust towards the political parties and the shift from direct communication to prime-time communication. The third phase of the evolution of political communication systems began to take shape at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century and was called the "postmodern period" or "digital era". Major changes in this period of political communication development have occurred both in technology, consumer behavior of voters, and in communication strategies. After 1990, for many other democratic countries and after 2000, for other totalitarian countries, political communication has undergone a strong transformation into its three points: (1) changing the communication channel and its characteristics far different from classical means, (2) related to the content of the message and the political discourse and, perhaps, the most important aspect (3) the public's ability to actively participate in government acts or protest actions challenging government acts.
