Methodology of risk assessment for electricity distribution lines in Slovakia with regard to potential bird mortality due to collisions with power lines
Authors: Šmídt Ján , Hapl Ervín , Gális Marek
Published: February 2020

Power lines represent an important and increasing worldwide cause of avian mortality due to collisions involving flying birds. One positive and very important fact is that only some parts of potentially dangerous lines are responsible for the majority of killed birds. These sections need to be identified and treated with proper mitigation measures. In this article we present a specially-prepared methodology aimed at classifying power lines according to the risk they present. The identification of power lines with the highest risk of possible bird collision requires easily-accessed biological, technical and landscape information. In addition to analyses of these main inputs, our methodology also evaluates the influence of power line orientation relative to the important migration routes of birds, the effect of nearby tree growth higher than the evaluated power lines, and the complexity of landscape relief. Based on these three additional inputs, it is possible to produce a digitalized map showing with one-meter accuracy the location of power line sections with the high/middle/low mortality risk due to collision for any existing or newly-planned grid. Sections with highest risk should be considered as priority for the implementation of mitigation measures including e.g. installation of bird flight diverters. Our methodology was prepared for 22 kV and 110 kV distribution power lines in Slovakia. It is flexible enough to be applied equally to any geographic conditions and/or bird community, different voltage levels and construction designs of power lines. Our methodology can be applied by ornithologists, nature conservancy organization and power line system operators to implement environmental and cost-effective mitigation measures.

Investment is a very sensitive matter especially relating to securities commonly known as shares. Shares are not merely as securities or certificates of ownership but as a business area in achieving profits. One alternative factor for investment is option. Stock options are one of the trading tools used to secure stock investments owned by investors. The real value of stock options can be known when the due date. The stock option value formula can be used to find out the value before the due date. The most widely known stock option value is to use the Black-Scholes equation which is obtained from a constant volatility value. Then it was developed because it saw the conditions in the market based on the volatility of the value (not constant). The purpose of this study is to determine the value of stock options in the market based on volatile values ??that change using the Constant Elasticity of Variance model with the limit of European stock purchase options. If the resulting stock option value is greater than the option price in the market, investors are advised to buy the stock option.

The development of the tourism industry in Bali is very fast compared to other regions in Indonesia. This is due to the fascination of Bali which fascinates tourists, such as culture, customs and natural beauty. The rapid development of tourism in Bali requires tourism risk management. The purpose of this study is to calculate the Value At Risk (VaR) of Chinese, British and American tourists visiting Bali. The study was conducted using the VaR method with the GARCH (1,1) and GJR (1,1) models. Chinese tourist visit data is homocedasticity so it cannot proceed to GARCH (1.1) and GJR (1.1) modeling. VaR value of British and American tourist visits using the GARCH (1.1) and GJR (1.1) models at 95% confidence levels respectively -69.2% and -43.6 with an average VaR value of -56, 4%, and -69.3% and -44.7% with an average VaR of -57%. This means that if the Bali Government targets the number of tourist visits to be 7,100,000 people with a tourism promotion cost of Rp.134.1 per person, then there will be at least 4,004,400 people visiting Bali. So the investment costs incurred by the Provincial Government of Bali for tourism promotion of Rp. 536,990,040.

Правовой статус Северного морского пути: французская доктрина
Authors: Вереина Л. В. , Котлова А. В.
Published: February 2020

Правительство Российской Федерации утвердило план развития инфраструктуры Северного морского пути (далее – СМП) до 2035 г. Грузооборот Северного морского пути к 2035 г. должен увеличиться в восемь раз, достигнув показателя в 160 млн т. Российская Федерация ведёт активную работу по обновлению ледокольного флота и портовой инфраструктуры. В Российской Федерации СМП рассматривается как исторически сложившаяся национальная транспортная коммуникация, что, на наш взгляд, соответствует нормам международного права. Вместе с тем, не все зарубежные государства придерживаются российского подхода к правовому статусу СМП. Так, например, Соединенные Штаты Америки заявляют о необходимости интернационализации СМП по мере освобождения данной водной артерии от льда. В качестве примера усиливающегося политического и экономического давления западных стран в отношении России можно привести отказ не-скольких крупных компаний от использования СМП для перевозки грузов под предлогом охраны окружающей среды. Ряд других зарубежных стран также имеют свою точку зрения по вопросу определения правового статуса и режима судоходства по Северному морскому пути. Поскольку Франция является одним из ведущих государств Европейского союза, членом Североатлантического альянса, одним из двенадцати неарктических государств, являющихся наблюдателями в Арктическом совете, а также государством, которое обозначило себя как «полярное государство», считаем целесообразным рассмотреть французскую международно-правовую доктрину о статусе Северного морского пути.

The Government of the Russian Federation approved the plan for the development of the Northern Sea Route (hereinafter – SMP) until 2035. The cargo turnover of the Northern Sea Route by 2035 is expected to increase eight-fold up to 160 million tons. The Russian Federation is actively working to renew the icebreaker fleet and port infrastructure. In Russia, the SMP is regarded as a historically established national transport communication which, in our opinion, corresponds to the norms of international law. At the same time, not all foreign states adhere to the Russian approach to the legal status of the SMP. For example, the USA advocates the internationalization of the SMP. The popular wisdom is that the SMP is the international strait. As an example of the increasing political and economic pressure of Western countries toward Russia is the refusal of several large companies to use SMP under the pretext of environmental protection. As France is one of the leading states of the European Union, a member of the NATO, one of the twelve non-Arctic states that are observers in the Arctic Council and a state which identifies itself as a “polar” state, examining the French international legal doctrine concerning the status of the Northern Sea Route has to be relevant.

An Outdoor Orientation Program in its Infancy, Student Perception Influencing Best Practice
Authors: Pickard Luke , Brunton Julie
Published: February 2020

Outdoor orientation programs (OOP) use adventure experience to aid transition to university. Transition processes are achieved by helping students develop constructive social support systems as well as providing them with feelings of belonging, trust, and connection to a group of peers. These peer relationships provide both critical emotional support and strengthen educational gains (Bell, Gass, Nafziger, & Starbuck, 2014). Important markers of success at university are academic attainment, retention, and student development (Bell et al., 2014). All of these are important for both the finances and reputation of universities. Programs vary in length, content, and objectives. Further outcome- and evidence-based studies are needed to examine outdoor orientation program elements to better understand how and what elements support student retention (Cortez, 2014). The aim of the research is to investigate student perceptions of the university’s first OOP for its sports-based first-year undergraduates. The university created an evaluation questionnaire to receive feedback on the OOP from students in order to have more informed input in future OOPs. The evaluation questionnaire was analyzed using content analysis. The questionnaire also included eight scale-scored questions. The study had 84 first-year undergraduate participants. The evaluation from students will form specific recommendations that will improve provision for its own students and possibly provide recommendations applicable to other academic institutions with limited experience in facilitating an OOP.
Determinación de la resonancia de onda larga en el Pacífico colombiano y otras bahías naturales mediante modelación numérica
Authors: Orejarena Cuartas Jaime Arturo
Published: February 2020

Los fenómenos de resonancia han sido estudiados de muchas maneras en el mundo. Este fenómeno se produce cuando la frecuencia angular de la fuerza externa coincide con la frecuencia natural de oscilación del sistema, generando un aumento de la amplitud, al coincidir las frecuencias. En los últimos años el estudio de estas ondas se ha incrementado debido a los cuantiosos daños que este fenómeno produce en sitios como Ciutadella en España, Shikotan Island en Japón y el Puerto de Rotterdam en Holanda (1) (Vidal et al., 2000).
 
En el presente trabajo se seleccionaron diez bahías naturales de tres países (Colombia, España y Francia), aplicando un modelo de elementos finitos denominado MSP con el fin de determinar la presencia de las ondas de resonancia y la influencia que tiene la morfología en la amplificación. Las mallas de propagación generadas en este modelo dependieron de la longitud de onda de la oscilación que se representó, disponiendo al menos diez elementos por longitud de onda.
 Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que las bahías son resonantes en diferentes frecuencias, dependiendo de su morfología, y que existe una relación directa entre la amplificación resonante de las bahías y las plataformas continentales donde están ubicadas.

In 2016, we have started to develop a collaborative system for Friday prayer scheduling. The system was intended to cope with some problems that corresponded with the high probability collision occurrences while compiling a timetable. In order to measure the effectiveness of the system implementation, we undertook a survey that started from late 2017 to September 2019. We observed the implementation of the system throughout the years and investigated the impact of its implementation. The objective of this research is to determine whether the system can diminish the collision rates and foster a user-friendly experience both for MTM and client users in managing, requesting, compiling, viewing and organizing the schedules. The pre and post- questionnaires clearly indicated that the system managed to diminish or almost deal with all the problems that regularly occurred during timetable compilation. In regard to usability, users found that the system was useful and easy to use as the system gained the highest possible score for overall satisfaction.

Based on data, Indonesia ranks second in the list of the highest number of deaths due to natural disasters in the Asia-Pacific. Over the past 20 years, various natural disasters in this country have also caused economic losses of at least US$ 22.5 billion. This data means that disasters in various sizes and scales can occur and affect business. Disaster threats can occur in various forms, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and floods. The threat of disasters will certainly disrupt and can have a fatal impact on the sustainability of business supported by information technology, the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection (KPPPA) as a case study has an interest in this matter. One of the infrastructures that become an essential asset as the performance support capacity of the KPPPA is an information system and technology. System tools and Information technology are business process support tools at the KPPPA so that businesses have sustainability and can run well. Disasters that occur will undoubtedly have a fundamental impact that can damage the system and technology in the organization so that it will positively affect the course of business processes. For this reason, integrated planning is needed to handle the disaster so that business processes can continue to run as they should. One of the integrated plans is designing an Information Technology and Communication Disaster Recovery Plan (IT-DRP). This study discusses the NIST framework implementation as one of the IT-DRP models which have been applied in KPPPA.

Global Empire? The Concept of a New World Order and the Power of the Liberal System
Authors: Spalińska Aleksandra
Published: February 2020

: Increasingly, there are more and more discussions about the crisis of so-called liberal system or liberal democracy. At the same time, the threat posed by populism to democratic institutions is pointed out. There appear also questions about how to regain control over reality and who has the real power in the system of global capitalism. In the paper, I would like to refer to the concept of the “new world order” (most often understood as ordinary conspiracy theory), which is based on the conviction of a great change in global politics. This concept also applies to speculation about the real power, which is supposed to lie in the hands of unelected and unofficial bodies or institutions (such as the Bilderberg group). The paper puts forward the thesis that the concept of “new world order”, on the ground of political theory, should confronted with the question of the impersonal power – the power of the system, which today is a liberal system, understood both as a set of economic or political solutions, as well as values underlying the dominance of the West. This “theoretical experiment” would let us to expand the field of view of political theory in conceptual as well as methodological, empirical and normative dimensions.
Proactive Attitudes towards Integration and Intense Group Identification, in a Sample of the Swedish-speaking Minority of Western Finland
Authors: Grigaitytė Ingrida , Österman Karin , Björkqvist Kaj
Published: February 2020

The aim of the study was to investigate proactive attitudes towards integration and intense group identification in a sample of the Swedish-speaking minority of Western Finland. A questionnaire was completed by 298 respondents (208 females and 90 males). The mean age was 32.7 yrs (SD 13.4) for women and 28.9 yrs (SD 13.4) for males. The questionnaire included scales measuring positive attitudes towards cultural and structural efforts to enhance the situation of immigrants, openness to diversity (Phelps, Eilertsen, Türken, - Ommundsen, 2011) and intense group identification. Positive attitudes towards cultural and structural efforts to enhance integration, and openness to diversity all correlated significantly positively with each other, and negatively with intense group identification. Age did not correlate with any of the scales in the study. Females scored higher than males on the three subscales measuring proactive attitudes towards integration, and males scored significantly higher on intense group identification. Respondents with a higher educational level scored higher on cultural efforts and on openness to diversity, and significantly lower on intense group identification. Social integration efforts could be fostered by enancing prosocial traits, especially among males, and by encouraging people to study at the higher degree institutions. This could be applie not only among the Swedish-speaking Finns but also among other cultural groups in Finland and elsewhere.
Opening of Albanian Schools for Learning the Albanian Language in Kosovo During 1941-45
Authors: Gjoshi Ragip
Published: February 2020

Difficult, long and troublesome was the journey of Albanian letters in all Albanian lands, especially in Kosovo. The marking of the 75th anniversary of the Albanian school, being commemorated this year in all Albanian lands, is a good opportunity to see the long-lasting path of Albanian education. There are many reasons, but some are more necessary to be written and spoken about. It is rare that nations had to pay dearly for the right to write on their own language compared to Albanian people. So much blood has been shed to escape assimilation. However, when World War II had spread largely over Europe, the Nazi-fascist powers had invaded other countries including all Albanian-inhabited areas. After Albania, Yugoslavia succumbed as well. At that time, the territories of today’s Republic of Kosovo were also occupied. At that point, Kosovo was divided into three occupation zones: Italian, German and Bulgarian. Almost most of Kosovo's lands belonged to the Italian occupation zone. Thus, most of Kosovo and Western Macedonia joined Albania with Royal Decree and King of Vicar Decree no. 264, dated 12. VIII. 1941. In all three areas of occupation, the administration of governance was established in the service of the occupiers. The long and harsh oppression had an impact that Albanians would experience and perceive the new circumstances in every aspect as a resemblance of a real freedom, because the tyranny of the 1918-1941 period had exceeded all genocidal dimensions. With the initiative of Albanian Minister E. Koliqi, a contingent of teachers was sent to Kosovo as Kosovo lacked educational-pedagogical staff. This work set in motion the reflection of Albanian intelligence in Kosovo in order to open Albanian schools for Albanian students everywhere as soon as possible.
The Use of Creative Movement Method in Teaching Foreign Languages to Very Young Language Learners
Authors: Sila Anita , Lenard Vid
Published: February 2020

The creative movement method is a holistic teaching method that enables children to develop language skills through art not just by looking and seeing, hearing and listening, speaking and talking, but also by conducting various motions and movements – experiencing while playing. Children can learn holistically only when their minds and bodies are an indivisible whole. When all their senses are engaged, children remember and recall information more effectively. The present paper describes the use of the creative movement method in teaching phonological awareness skills in a foreign language (English) to 13 Slovenian preschool children with a mean age of 5.8 years. The aim of the study was to determine children’s success rates in producing words and alliteration after being given the first sound of word (vowels /æ/, /e/, /ɪ/, /ɒ/, /ʌ/) in English, both with and without movement support. Children participated in two 45-minute long teaching sessions (the second took place after two weeks). There was no additional training between each session and the test. The results of the test after two weeks from the last session show that creative movement support proved essential for children in recalling words and producing alliteration in English. The study also includes some guidelines for the method’s use in teaching foreign languages to very young language learners.

Authors: Shanker Arun , Alluri Anjani , Bhanu Divya
Published: February 2020

The family of viruses belonging to Coronaviridae mainly consist of virulent pathogens that have a zoonotic property, Severe Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) of this family have emerged before and now the SARS-CoV-2 has emerged in China. Characterization of spike glycoproteins, polyproteins and other viral proteins from viruses are important for vaccine development. Homology modelling of these proteins with known templates offers the opportunity to discover ligand binding sites and explore the possible antiviral properties of these protein ligand complexes. Any information emerging from these protein models can be used for vaccine development. In this study we did a complete bioinformatic analysis, sequence alignment, comparison of multiple sequences and homology modelling of the SARS-CoV-2 whole genome sequences, the spike protein and the polyproteins for homology with known proteins, we also analysed receptor binding sites in these models for possible binding with ligands that exhibit antiviral properties. Our results showed that the tertiary structure of the polyprotein isolate SARS-CoV-2_HKU-SZ-001_2020 had 98.94 percent identity with SARS-Coronavirus NSP12 bound to NSP7 and NSP8 co-factors. Our results indicate that a part of the viral genome (residues 3268 -3573 in Frame 2 with 306 amino acids) of the SARS-CoV-2 virus isolate Wuhan-Hu-1 (Genbank Accession Number MN908947.3) when modelled with template 2a5i of the PDB database had 96 percent identity with a 3C like peptidase of SARS-CoV which has ability to bind with Aza-Peptide Epoxide (APE) which is known for irreversible inhibition of SARS-CoV main peptidase. The part of the genome (residues 1568-1882 in Frame 2 with 315 amino acids) when modelled with template 3e9s of the PDB database had 82 percent identity with a papain-like protease/deubiquitinase which when complexed with ligand GRL0617 acts as inhibitor which can block SARS-CoV replication. It is possible that these viral inhibiters can be used for vaccine development for the SARS-CoV-2.

The SARS-CoV-2 has caused more than 2,000 deaths as of 20 February 2020 worldwide but there is no approved effective drug. The SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein is a key drug target due to its indispensable function for viral infection and fusion with ACE2 as a receptor. To facilitate the drug discovery and development with S protein as drug target, various computational techniques were used in this study to evaluate the binding mechanisms between S protein and its acceptor ACE2. Impressively, SARS-CoV-2 S protein has higher affinity binding to ACE2 at two different “up” angles of RBD than SARS-CoV S protein to ACE2 at the same angles. The energy decomposition analysis showed that more interactions formed between SARS-CoV-2 S protein and ACE2, which may partially account for its higher infectiousness than SARS-CoV. In addition, we found that 52.2° is a starting accessible “up” angle of the BRD of SARS-CoV-2 S protein to bind ACE2, demonstrating that BRD is not necessary to be fully opened in order to bind ACE2. We hope that this work will be helpful for the design of effective SARS-CoV-2 S protein inhibitors to address the ongoing public health crisis.

A number of transition metal complexes have been investigated as potential electrocatalystsfor C02 reduction. Among these are rhenium monometallic complexes, which have shownunique activity towards C02 reduction. Further development of multimetallic systems,capable of storing multiple equivalents of electrons has shown some potential in increasingthe selectivity of the C02 conversion processes toward highly reduced products. This studyreports the synthesis and characterization of novel polynuclear rhenium(I) complexes whererhenium is incorporated to the bridging ligand tppq (2,3,7,8-tetra-2-pyridylpyrazino[2,3-g]quinoxaline), which is capable of attaching up to four metal centers. The resultingcomplexes were characterized using different spectroscopic techniques (infrared, UV-Vis,emission) and cyclic voltammetry. The results suggest that the synthetic procedure adoptedwas successful.

Education systems in schools today are generally still oriented to the material media books and verbal material delivery by the teacher. This problem raises the lack of understanding and lack of interest of students in understanding material, especially in Biology chapter Genetics. The learning media provided by the teacher are felt to be lacking to support the achievement of maximum student learning achievement. Therefore an interesting learning media is needed that aims to foster students 'interest in learning and increase students' understanding of genetic material. Alternative learning media that can be used is with educational games. In the process of developing this educational game using the  waterfall method. The selection of the waterfall method is because the process of making each stage is systematic, meaning that each stage is interrelated so that it can facilitate the making of the system. The results of this study were in the form of an educational game "The Adventure of Cali-Cali" which was tested on students to find out the improvement in learning achievement. From the data obtained at the pretest results show that students still do not understand the genetic material provided by the teacher. This is evidenced by as many as 90.3% of students who have not met the  Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM). Then the treatment game was given when the posttest showed that as much as 6.50% of students did not meet the KKM. The comparison of the results of the pretest and posttest showed an increase in student learning achievement which increased to 83.8%.

Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) is known as optimized Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) architectures that overcome RNN’s lact about maintaining long period of memories. As part of machine learning networks, LSTM also notable as the right choice for time-series prediction. Currently, machine learning is a burning issue in economic world, abundant studies such predicting macroeconomic and microeconomics indicators are emerge. Inflation rate has been used for decision making for central banks also private sector. In Indonesia, CPI (Consumer Price Index) is one of best practice inflation indicators besides Wholesale Price Index and The Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Since CPI data could be used as a direction for next inflation move, we conducted CPI prediction model using LSTM method. The network model input consists of 28 variables of staple price in Surabaya and the output is CPI value, also the entire development of prediction model are done in Amazon Web Service (AWS) Cloud. In the interest of accuracy improvement, we used several optimization algorithm i.e. Stochastic Gradient Descent (sgd), Root Mean Square Propagation (RMSProp), Adaptive Gradient(AdaGrad), Adaptive moment (Adam), Adadelta, Nesterov Adam (Nadam) and Adamax. The results indicate that Nadam has 4,008 RMSE’s value, less than other algorithm which indicate the most accurate optimization algorithm to predict CPI value.

Increasingly sophisticated technology brings various conveniences both in transportation, information, education to the convenience of transactions in shopping, such as the development of E-wallet can now be easily done using a smartphone. From a number of e-wallet products, researchers took a case study, which is OVO product, which is currently being discussed by many groups, especially in the capital of Jakarta today. Customers or clients who are not satisfied with the services or products offered by a company will usually write their complaints on social media or reviews on Google play. However, monitoring and organizing opinions from the public is also not easy. For this reason, we need a special method or technique that is able to categorize these reviews automatically, whether positive or negative. The algorithm used in this study is Naive Bayes Classifier (NB), with the optimization of the use of Particle Swarm Optimization Feature Selection (FS). The results of cross validation NB without FS are 82.30% for accuracy and 0.780 for AUC. Whereas for NB with FS is 83.60% for accuracy and 0.801 for AUC. Very significant improvement with the use of Feature Selection (FS) Particle Swarm Optimization.
