The Potential and Implications of Automated Pre-Processing of LiDAR-Based Digital Elevation Models for Large-Scale Archaeological Landscape Analysis
Authors: Novák David , Pružinec Filip , Lieskovský Tibor
Published: January 2023

LiDAR-derived digital elevation models (DEMs) have transformed the archaeological study of landscape features, broadened our technical capabilities, and enhanced the accuracy with which terrain relief is described. These models also place demands on how researchers and analysts interpret DEM content in the context of the modern landscape. LiDAR-based DEMs contain modern man-made structures that can significantly influence model properties. Although data are usually filtered and some of these artificial features are removed during bare-earth classification, many terrain interventions remain visible. This large-scale case study applies established methods to a freely available DEM of the Czech Republic in an attempt to evaluate differences between original and filtered DEMs. It applies a fully automated filtering procedure using vector topographic maps to avoid manual corrections that would make the procedure problematic when used on a macro scale. The results of our archaeological GIS analysis demonstrate that this procedure, despite its relative simplicity, can achieve a significantly better representation of a landscape compared to that offered by an unfiltered DEM. Finally, we propose a series of future steps with a view to developing a more comprehensive and accurate model and overcoming its limitations.
Comparative Study of Lightweight Concretes Based on Hemp and Flax Straw
Authors: Babenko Maryna , Estokova Adriana , Unčik Stanislav , Savytskyi Mykola
Published: January 2023

The article presents the results of a study involving the properties of flax and hemp-based lightweight concretes as well as the initial characteristics of different straw-based materials. A comparison of straw-based lightweight concretes with and without ordinary Portland cement (OPC) showed that hemp concrete has a 5.6 % higher strength at a 10% deformation, and at the same time, has a 13% greater thermal conductivity coefficient than flax concrete. The physical-chemical study based on a thermal analysis in an air environment has shown that the overall picture of thermal degradation for flax and hemp concretes is similar. Nevertheless, additional peaks of mass loss have been defined for flax concrete. The demonstrated exothermal process is a positive aspect, considering the life cycle of the material and the recycling stage. The paper proposes reference points for the development of new building materials based on straw.
The Compaction of Energy and Properties of Roller-Compacted Concrete Pavement with Fillers
Authors: Saoudi Nacira , Cherfa Hayet , Saoudi Brahim , Zaanoun Bodjemaa
Published: January 2023

This case study aims to investigate the effects of compaction methods on the mechanical behavior of roller compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) mixtures, which consist of the replacement of different cement by 0%, 5%, and 10% limestone by volume fraction and which were compacted by two compaction methods. These methods are commonly discussed in the literature and were developed to simulate the site conditions in the laboratory. A modified Proctor test was adopted in the mix’s proportional process to optimize the aggregate’s percentage content of RCCP. The experimental series consisted of compression and split tensile performance tests to investigate the development of compaction performances at 28 days. The results showed that, where 10% of the cement was substituted by limestone, the RCC gives important flexural strength values compared to the quantity of the cement substitute. Qualitatively, the reduction in the strength of the concrete using the modified Proctor compaction method led to the weakness of the bond between the layers.
The Pressure Resistance of Odor Traps for Sanitary Appliances and their Impact on the Hygiene of an Indoor Environment
Authors: Sokol Martin , Peráčková Jana
Published: January 2023

The biggest problem with sanitary technology in high-rise buildings is the design of foul water stacks in which high negative pressure and overpressure values must not occur. When pressure exceeds maximum values, water from the trap is ejected, sucked out, or left bubbling in the trap. Measurements by other researchers have shown that when traps lose their function, in addition to the spreading of unpleasant odors, there is also the spreading of various viruses from the sewer and drainage systems. The paper deals with the mathematical analysis and simulation of the pressure resistance of different traps under various boundary conditions, considering the quality of the internal environment. The effect of water evaporation on pressure resistance was also simulated and assessed. The results of the work are clear tables of pressure resistances with a description of their effect on the water level in the trap.

Published: January 2023

The article describes the process of redesigning the intake structure of the fish pass at the Žilina water structure in Slovakia. The existing intake structure does not meet the passability requirements for the target species of migratory fish. A design utilizing intake windows at various levels that cover fluctuations in the water level in the reservoir, which has been successfully used for other water structures, has been proposed. The new design was subjected to hydraulic calculations and simulations in the HECRAS 2D, 2D numerical model in order to achieve the required parameters such as the discharges, depths, and velocities within the limits for the specified fish zone.

Published: January 2023

Potential changes in a hydrological regime caused by a changing climate represent a crucial source of uncertainty in water resources management. For example, in Slovakia, they may manifest themselves in a decrease in water resources, a change in the seasonality of runoff, and an increase in the extremes of floods and droughts. The research presented here focuses on using the hydrological balance equation to predict changes in the total catchment evapotranspiration under changing climate conditions. Using the TUW rainfall-runoff model and the KNMI and MPI climate change scenarios, the hydrological regime of eight selected basins in Slovakia was simulated for three thirty-year periods from 2010 until the year 2100. The results showed that the growth of total catchment evapotranspiration observed in recent decades is likely to increase further in the future.
Content analysis of human resources management reporting practices in Romanian health industry
Authors: Bratu Ana-Maria
Published: January 2023

Research Questions: To what extent do the various corporate reporting channels, documents, and instruments incorporate the issues identified in the literature as affecting human capital? Which aspects are taken into account by Romanian healthcare companies regarding the reporting of human resources management practices? Motivation: Given the commitment of companies to sustainable development, the requirements for enhancing the reporting of human resource management practices have increased. In addition to the specific responsibilities of economic entities that are required to publish periodic financial statements, this study is particularly relevant to human resource management practices in Romanian companies. In this study, the focus is on companies in the healthcare sector, an industry sensitive to the events that have occurred in recent times. Idea: This study explores the defining elements of human resources management awareness and behaviour. The main objective of the research is to analyse the area of human resource information reporting in six companies in the healthcare or pharmaceutical sector and its debate in the context of different company characteristics. Data: To achieve the proposed objective, data from the annual reports were collected for 2021 for six Romanian companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange. Tools: The extracted information is analysed through a critical interpretation to identify and analyse the level of reporting. In this study, the collected data was critically analysed based on empirical and archival sources to understand human resources reporting practices. All data used in this study were manually collected. Findings: The results of this research show that there is an interest in transparency of human resources information, but some variables should be improved or, where appropriate, added to the report. The most detailed information found is related to the reporting of descriptive company characteristics such as profitability and company size , and the least detailed is the information that belongs to the human resource category such as employment of people with disabilities and employment of women. Contribution: This paper contributes to research on companies' human resources reporting practices by identifying what is included in the annual report and analysing it through the lens of the transparency with which companies treat these practices.
Financial auditing during crisis: Assessing and reporting fraud and going concern risk in Lebanon
Authors: Feghali Khalil , Najem Reine , Metcalfe Beverly Dawn
Published: January 2023

Research Question: What is the impact of the Lebanese crisis on the financial auditing mission, mainly during assessing and reporting fraud and going concern risk? Motivation: So far, the academic research covering the Lebanese crisis is still rare. Hence, the spillover of the financial distress is an under researched area. Our aim to investigate the impact of financial and economic disruption on financial auditing mission, together with assessing and reporting fraud and going concern risk is an important contribution to risk literature. Idea: The article examines the impact of the Lebanese crisis on financial auditing mission, mainly during assessing and reporting fraud and going concern risk. More specifically, based on fraud triangle theory and bankruptcy theory, this study investigates the response of Lebanese financial auditors to the increase of fraud and going concern risk during crisis. Data: The questionnaire survey was used to collect responses from 239 external and internal auditors. Tools: Univariate descriptive statistics have been used to describe the respondents’ profile, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as a data reduction method and the Kendall’s Tau B, Anova and Logistic Regression for hypotheses testing. Findings: The empirical study suggests the presence of a significant relationship between the propagation of fraud and the going concern risk. Facing this situation, Lebanese financial auditors modified the audit reports, by issuing a going concern opinion through the adoption of a hierarchical system based on the severity of the assessed risk. Contributions: The research illustrates how regulators, shareholders and several bodies can effectively evaluate financial auditors’ roles during crisis, especially in terms of fraud and going concern risk. Additionally, the findings invite several bodies to never separate fraud from going concern principle during the evaluation of the trustworthiness of financial statements, and the overall credibility of business continuity.
Value relevance of general government national accounts with ESA2010 accrual accounting framework. Association of ESA2010 reporting quality with decision making and accounting standardisation
Authors: Bekiaris Michalis , Markogiannopoulou Antonia
Published: January 2023

Purpose: The necessity for a reliable set of international standards for the compilation of national accounts introduced the accrual accounting framework of the European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). Extensive efforts are made for convergence between Government Accounts (GA) and National Accounts (NA) under accounting standards. Design/methodology/approach: This study investigated the quality of governmental NA, in the context of ESA 2010, from 1999 through 2019, using relative value relevance models of long-term government bond yields. Findings: i) The accrual accounting framework ESA2010 generates value relevant (thus qualitative) NA financial reporting in EU member states and the United Kingdom (UK); ii) The financial variables that better interpret bonds’ return, thus governments’ necessity to borrow money, are showcased; iii) The usefulness of the ESA2010 conceptual framework for decision and policy making process considering that the accrual accounting basis fosters the financial reporting quality, is demonstrated; iv) The quality results set the premise for further discussion for the harmonization and alignment process of accounting standardisation with the ESA2010 accrual accounting framework as a resource for policy and decision making. Limitations: The methodology of value relevance models that is employed to assess the governmental statistical reporting quality with the ESA2010 accrual accounting framework is a private sector technique. Originality: This study contributes theoretically as it fosters the quality of accrual accounting basis. It moreover provides an empirical and practical contribution by introducing relative value relevance econometric models that provide stakeholders with reliable information on the financial position and performance of the government. It showcases significant financial variables and coefficients of statistical reporting for each government. With its value relevant results, it supports evidence-based decision making, allows comparisons between EU governments and the UK, and contributes to increased transparency and accountability.
The impact of IFRS adoption and corporate governance mechanisms on audit report lag: evidence from an emerging country
Authors: Gamra Souha Ben , Hamza Fadhila , Borgi Hela
Published: January 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adoption and corporate governance mechanisms (e.g., Board characteristics and Audit Committee (AC) characteristics) on Audit Report Lag (ARL) in an emerging country, named Saudi Arabia. Methodology: We use a sample of 616 firm-year observations from the Tadawul Stock Exchange in Saudi Arabia for the period 2016-2019. Panel regressions were used. Findings: The results indicate that ARL has significantly increased after the IFRSs' adoption. This result may imply that IFRS adoption leads to a need of adaptation process. It may support the need for more training and IFRS education in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, both AC diligence and AC financial expertise significantly reduce ARL. It may support the Saudi regulatory requirement to equip audit committees with at least one member with accounting and financial expertise. However, the results show that AC size and Board characteristics (board size, board independence and board meetings) are not significantly associated with ARL. Contribution: Our study fills the gap in the existing literature by examining the impact of the IFRSs' adoption and the corporate governance characteristics on ARL, whose results remain mixed and rare in Saudi Arabia, an emerging and under-studied context.

In particular, it shows how the framework can be useful to help young researchers write concise academic literature even after they have come up with their own ideas. To further explore this claim, the author offers a personal reflection on how to use the framework to summarise a twenty-page-long research proposal down to a one-thousand-word summary which ended up winning him the 2022 InSPiR2eS Global Pitching Research Competition.
Der Fall Servet und die Kontroverse um die Freiheit des Glaubens und Gewissens. Castellio, Calvin und Basel 1552–1556 - Herausgegeben von Wolfgang F. Stammler
Authors: Plath Uwe
Published: January 2023

Der Fall Servet markiert einen Wendepunkt im humanistischen Denken der Neuzeit: Die Verurteilung und Verbrennung des spanischen Humanisten Miguel Servet am 27. Oktober 1553 auf Veranlassung des Genfer Reformators Johannes Calvin löste unter vielen der um ihres Glaubens willen vor der katholischen Inquisition Geflüchteten Empörung und Entsetzen aus. Darf man einen Menschen töten, nur weil er anders denkt, als es die jeweils herrschende Lehre verlangt?
Der Fall Servet und die durch ihn ausgelöste Toleranzkontroverse bilden das Zentrum des vorliegenden Bandes von Uwe Plath. Die 1974 erstmals als Basler Dissertation vorgelegte Arbeit gilt bis heute als die maßgebliche Untersuchung der Ereignisse der Jahre 1552–1556, die für die Geschichte der Reformation und des humanistischen Denkens der Neuzeit von grundlegender Bedeutung wurden. Zugleich gibt sie einen tiefen Einblick in die Streitkultur der damaligen Zeit, in der sich ein neues Bild vom Menschen herauszubilden begann: das eines durch Christus zur Freiheit berufenen und seinem Gewissen und seiner Mitwelt gegenüber in Liebe verantwortlichen Menschen.

Published: January 2023

Introduction. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) of the retina is still considered the leading cause of vision loss in the elderly. The multifactoriality of the disease impairs the clinical effectiveness of modern AMD treatment methods. however, the study of single-nucleotide polymorphisms, in particular, of the HtrA serine peptidase 1 (HTRA1), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF A) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) genesis a promising link on the way to improve and develope more effective treatment strategies of the disease. The Aim of the Study. To investigate role of HTRA 1, VEGF A and TNF gene polymorphisms in the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration. Materials and Methods. 162 people with diagnosed wet AMD took part in the investigation. They received anti-VEGF A therapy in the form of injections of aflibercept monthly for half a year. Structural changes of the eyes were studied using optical coherence tomography (OCT); polymerase chain reaction (PCR) studies were performed using a Bio-Rad CFX 96 apparatus (BioRad, USA) using a reagent package (Lytech, Russia). Statistical analysis of the obtained results was performed using a set of software packages Statistica 10 (StatSoft, Inc., USA) and SPSS 23.0. Results. It was revealed best prognostic significance in patients with the TC rs2010963 genotype of the VEGFA gene was registered during the analysis of OCT 2 (RR=2.7; 95% CI 1.556 – 4.8), OCT 4 (RR=2.9 ; 95% CI 1.7 – 5.03) and OCT 8 (RR=2.6; 95% CI 1.6 – 4.12) sections, while in patients with the CC genotype these indicators in the OCT 2 section were: RR= 6.1; 95% CI 3.66 – 10.27; in OCT zone 4 RR=4.9; 95% CI 2.9 – 8.29, and in the OCT section 8: RR=4.23; 95% CI 2.7 – 6.556, which indicates a more pronounced influence of the CC genotype. When analyzing rs1800629 of the TNF gene, the best prognostic significance of the GA genotype was established in the OCT 4 (RR=1.77; 95% CI 1.218 – 2.56) and OCT 8 (RR=1.9; 95% CI 1.17 – 3.175) areas (p-value less than 0.05), with the AA genotype in OCT 4 (RR=3.77; 95% CI 2.17 – 6.58), OCT 8 (RR=3.1; 95% CI 1 .7 – 5.59) zones and when evaluating changes in visual acuity of patients with wet AMD (RR=4.2; 95% CI 2 – 8.98). No statistically significant results were found in the evaluation of the HTRA1 gene rs11200638 (p-value more than 0.05). Conclusions. The data obtained in our study indicate a direct influence of the vascular endothelial growth factor A (rs2010963) and tumor necrosis factor (rs1800629) polymorphisms on the emergence of resistance to aflibercept. However, the study of this influence in the presence of the HtrA serine peptidase 1 gene rs11200638 requires further research.

In Malaysia, the migration and the concentration of homeless former prisoners around Chow Kit Road are not new, given that they choose to return to Chow Kit Road each time they are released. Government agencies and NGOs are aware of the concentration of homeless former prisoners from different states within Malaysia in Chow Kit Road because the NGOs around Chow Kit Road distribute food aid to help them. Hence, a qualitative method was employed in this study by interviewing two groups of samples, namely nine professional government officers and nine volunteer informants who serve around Chow Kit Road. Experienced government officers and volunteer informants divided the findings into two superordinate themes. The views of professional government officers lead to the formation of four sub-themes, namely the personal, social, economic, and urban infrastructure and services offered. In comparison, the superordinate themes determined by the volunteer informants included four sub-themes: economic, social, and personal factors, together with urban infrastructure and services. This study provided an overview of factors that attract these former prisoners to continue to migrate and concentrate in Chow Kit Road based on the perspectives of a professional government officer and volunteer informants.

Published: January 2023

The article examines the essence of administrative-procedural coercion measures and how attention is drawn to the institution of administrative coercion, the definition of administrative-procedural coercion measures in its content. The paper concludes that procedural measures did not immediately appear in the construction of administrative coercion, this was due to the development of legislation on administrative responsibility, as well as legal doctrine. The problem of administrative coercion has been the subject of scientific attention for a long time. At one time, the research of the institute of administrative coercion even had a pro-Western character, where this coercion was used very widely. The author concludes that administrative and procedural coercion is aimed at suppressing administrative offenses, ensuring the proceedings on administrative offenses, as well as the execution of decisions taken within the framework of this proceeding. The author notes that within the framework of administrative and procedural coercion, coercive and restrictive measures of influence are applied, as well as non-coercive measures that are necessary to ensure the implementation of procedural coercion. Administrative and procedural coercion is aimed at suppressing administrative offenses, ensuring the proceedings in cases of administrative offenses, as well as the execution of decisions taken within the framework of this proceeding. It should be noted that within the framework of administrative and procedural coercion, coercive and restrictive measures of influence are applied, as well as non-coercive measures that are necessary to ensure the implementation of procedural coercion.

One reason for the low ability to write observational reports is the method that is often used by teachers in learning Indonesian is only limited to lecture methods, and group work. So the perception that Indonesian is a boring subject because of the lack of learning media used by teachers. This can result in students being less able to work on the results of observational reports. One effort to overcome this is to use an innovative learning model that is the Project based learning model. The purpose of this study, among others, is to determine the effect of project based learning learning models on the skills of writing observational report texts in class X students of Parlaungan Islamic High School in Sidoarjo. The population in this study were grade X students of Parlaungan Waru Sidoarjo Islamic High School as many as 44 students. A total of 22 students as the Experiment class who used the project based learning model and 22 students as the control class who used the direct learning model. After analyzing SPSS 16 using an independent sample test, the probability value = 0.001 < significance level = 5% means that there is an influence of PBL learning models on the skills of writing observational reports
