DOES OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE MATTER? A COST EFFICIENCY STUDY OF LIFE INSURANCE FIRMS IN INDONESIA
Authors: Wicaksono Riski , Mulyaningsih Dr. Tri
Published: November 2019

This paper is about the cost and profit efficiency of Indonesia’s life insurance industry. Using data from 2010–2014, we compare cost and profit efficiency among local and joint venture insurers. Our empirical analysis, based on a time-invariant translog cost model, reveals mean cost allocation and profit efficiency scores of 0.36 and 0.52, respectively. Interestingly, we find that domestic insurers are more cost efficient compared to joint venture insurers; however, joint venture insurers maximize profit more.
Guest Editorial: From Blockbuster to Blockchain: How to Manage a Not-Quite-Settled Technology Platform

Guest editorial

In this era of Netflix and online media that can be accessed anywhere, it is easy to forget that we used to have to work a little harder to get entertained. In the first few years of the new millennium, a typical home movie experience often began with a trip to the local Blockbuster store. There was a bewildering array of plastic movie cases that you had to pick up and investigate before making your final selection. Upon reaching the cashier, the sales associate would retrieve the appropriate disc for your selected movie and put it in the box before sending you on your way.

What made this ritual all the more challenging, however, was the fact that there was more than one type of disc format during the period 2006–2008. On one side of the store were the movies available for the HD DVD format, a technology platform led by Toshiba; on the other, movies for Sony’s Blu-ray machines. For the most part, the companies that produced movies had pledged allegiance to one of the formats or the other, but not to both of them. Blockbuster customers during this period were consequently faced with a dilemma. Everyone who had witnessed the drawn-out battle between VHS video tapes and Sony’s Betamax in the previous generation of Blockbuster products suspected that some kind of shakeout in the disc industry would probably happen eventually, and no one wanted to be left holding the bag with a disc player and movie collection tethered to the losing side. Thankfully, however, this problem was solved when Toshiba threw in the towel in 2008, leaving Sony’s platform as the undisputed winner in the movie disc technology war.

This episode in the history of the entertainment industry is an important lesson to remember as we think about how to introduce blockchain into the oil and gas industry. Blockchain is essentially “a mathematical structure for storing data in a way that is nearly impossible to fake” (Orcutt, 2018), which makes it a useful way to reliably share all kinds of valuable information (Tapscott and Tapscott, 2016). In the finance sector, blockchain is most famously the technology underlying cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, but new applications are being discovered all the time—including in the upstream oil and gas industry. Companies in the oil and gas sector have already made inroads into the blockchain domain by using the technology to improve trading (Braga, 2018), guarantee the authenticity of wellbore rock and fluid samples (Whitfield, 2018), and create a shared consensus about the progress of drilling campaigns (Rassenfoss, 2018). In fact, there is so much buzz and energy in the blockchain area these days that several consortia and research initiatives have popped up to figure out new and inventive ways to deliver value with it, including the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance and the Linux Foundation’s Hyperledger project (for both of which Intel was a founding member) or the Oil and Gas Blockchain Consortium.
Questions Over Permeability Prompt Producer-Led Group To Rebuild Key Fracture Diagnostic
Authors: Jacobs Trent
Published: November 2019

For the past 20 years, the diagnostic fracture injection test (DFIT) has been used across the frontlines of the shale revolution to paint a picture of what cannot be seen. However, that picture has not always been so clear in the eyes of subsurface engineers.

It is not the test has been questioned. It is the way a DFIT is analyzed.

Last year, a joint-industry project supported by six shale producers formed to develop a new methodology that aims to bring fractures into sharper focus—especially when it comes to obtaining accurate permeability estimates from within shale gas formations.

The operators who funded and shared field data for the project were ConocoPhillips, Hess, Shell, Equinor, Range Resources, and Apache. The other key participants included oilfield services firm Keane Group (recently renamed NextTier Oilfield Solutions) and a startup called ResFrac whose software was used to run the study’s models and numerical simulations.

The group’s existence reflects both the rising value of pressure data in unconventional engineering and the struggles industry has in trusting it. The outcome of this yearlong study though hopes to improve upon the latter. The group has offered to the unconventional sector a new template for DFIT analysis, one that represents a distinct alternative to the classical methods used by most practitioners today.

“We have a slightly different conceptual approach, and that impacts a lot of details. So it was necessary to basically start from scratch and make a new procedure,” said Mark McClure, a principal researcher in the industry study and the chief executive of ResFrac.

The new procedure is the centerpiece of two technical papers recently shared at the Unconventional Resources Technology Conference (URTeC) in Denver, and the SPE’s Annual Technology Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) in•Calgary.

Usually performed at the toe-end of a horizontal well, a DFIT involves pumping a small volume of fluid (typically 20•bbl or less) into the formation to induce a small fracture. How that fracture seals back up is then measured over a period that usually spans a 1–3 weeks.

The test is used widely across shale plays to obtain estimates of rock stress, pore pressure, and, perhaps most importantly, permeability. It has become ubiquitous in the shale sector because it is an affordable way to quantify such properties before a pressure pumping crew arrives on a well pad. Additionally, where rock cores are susceptible to stress and permeability changes as they are brought to surface, the DFIT represents an in situ measurement that avoids these issues.

However, the operator-led study asserts that the shale sector has misinterpreted the signals provided by a DFIT. The reason: accepted interpretation methods were largely designed for conventional reservoirs that feature far simpler physics than those that dominate tight-rock formations. The result: a systematic inflation of permeability estimates in gas shales and, to a lesser extent, inaccuracies in permeability estimates of oil shales.

Background: The emergence and spread of ST11 carbapenem-resistant, hypervirulent K. pneumonia (ST11-CR-HvKP) in China generated great concern from the public health community. The identification of ST11-CR-HvKP strain is expected to become a serious public health issue in China, considering the carbapenem resistance and virulence had converged in an epidemic clone. However, the underlying mechanism that enables its wide dissemination in China remains unclear.Results: Here, we investigate the prevalence of carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) carriage by inpatients in a teaching hospital over a 1-year period, to identify ST11-CR-HvKP reservoirs, and to understand the transmission of these pathogens across healthcare networks. We identified a high colonization prevalence of CPE (12.4%) among inpatients with diarrhea. Correlations were detected between antibiotic exposure, surgical history, and being CPE positive. A genomic investigation of 65 CRKP isolates indicated a shared bacterial population among various wards. Maximum-likelihood phylogenetic tree demonstrated that these isolates were partitioned into three major clades. An analysis of the wzi locus revealed three different K types (KL105, KL47, and K64) among the ST11 isolates, indicating genetic diversity among these isolates. Our review of the cases showed that these patients had no contact with each other, indicating nosocomial transmission. Genetic and sequence mapping revealed complexity in the existence of virulence plasmids and resistance plasmids in the ST11-CRKP isolates. These data indicate that this process was more complicated than was earlier anticipated, as it may have involved multiple ST11 K. pneumoniae lineages and a variety of virulence plasmids. Conclusions: Collectively, this work represents the first evidence of gut microbiota may act as the source of ST11-CR-HvKP isolate. Active surveillance approaches, particularly in ICUs based on the results of this study, should be implemented to combat the spread of ST11-CR-HvKP and to improve patient outcomes. Key words: gut microbiota; hypervirulent; KPC-2; reservoir; genomic characterization

Evaluation of Genetic Diversity in Korean Fir Cultivars Based on Microsatellite and Cytoplasmic Markers
Authors: Kwak Myounghai , Hong Jeong-Ki , Lee Eun Sil , Lee Byoung Yoon , Suh Min Hwan , Cregg Bert
Published: November 2019

Korean fir (Abies koreana) has been cultivated for less than 100 years, mainly in the United States and Europe. Using nuclear microsatellite, mitochondrial, and chloroplast markers, we investigated the origin of cultivated korean fir from South Korea (KC group) as well as the United States and United Kingdom (EU group), and compared these samples to published data from wild populations. All genotypes in the EU and KC groups were most closely related to the wild individuals from Mt. Hallasan, the southernmost A. koreana population on Jejudo Island (South Korea). However, the presence of the chloroplast haplotypes clustered with Abies balsamea in two EU cultivars and the higher diversity values of the EU group compared with the wild individuals from Mt. Hallasan infer a certain level of introgression from different species during cultivation. The EU group had a higher inbreeding coefficient and linkage disequilibrium, and a smaller proportion of rare alleles, than the wild populations. This suggests that the genetic characteristics of korean fir cultivars reflect strong artificial selection pressure for desirable horticultural traits and asexual reproduction. Last, this genetic background study suggests that the other wild populations in the Korean peninsula can serve as valuable genetic resources for future breeding.

Rationale. Currently, the literature describes about 374 cases of Marshall syndrome. According to some authors, the prevalence of Marshall syndrome is 2.3 per 10,000 children, in general, the epidemiology of PFAPA syndrome in the pediatric population is unknown.

Purpose. The aim of our study is to justify surgical treatment in children with Marshall syndrome. Objectives. The objectives of this study are to give a comparative assessment of the effectiveness of tonsillectomy and adenotonzyllectomy for this syndrome and to evaluate the quality of life indicators before and after surgical treatment.

Materials and methods. The study included 26 patients with Marshall syndrome, of which 18 patients underwent adenotonzyllectomy and 8 patients underwent bilateral tonsillectomy. A clinical case of a typical manifestation of Marshall syndrome is also described, and follow-up results of the effectiveness of surgical treatment for Marshall syndrome are presented. In the course of the work, an adapted questionnaire was developed to assess the quality of life of parents of children with Marshall syndrome.

Results. The result of our work is the fact that in relation to the relief of PFAPA-syndrome, children of preschool and primary school age have more effective adenotonsillectomy (88.2%), while tonsillectomy was effective only in 55.6% of patients.

Conclusion. A multidisciplinary approach is required to address the diagnosis and treatment of Marshall syndrome.
Combination therapy for cough and bronchial obstruction in childhood
Authors: Mizernitskiy Yu. L. , Dorovskaya N. L. , Melnikova I. M.
Published: November 2019

The inflammatory process in the bronchial mucosa of various origins (infectious, allergic, irritative, etc.) cause changes in the sputum production and its rheological properties, slowing of mucociliary clearance. Mucoactive therapy is one of the important components of the management of bronchopulmonary diseases. The article provides a detailed review of the modern literature, as well as the authors’ own experience regarding the cough therapy methods, including techniques used in the bronchial obstructive syndrome. The use of combination drugs, which simultaneously affect various pathogenetic mechanisms of inflammation and cough, including those in the respiratory diseases with bronchial obstructive syndrome, becomes a promising direction of mucoactive therapy. Due to relative safety and clinical efficacy, the modern combination therapy, including a fixed-dose combination of salbutamol, bromhexine, guaifenesin (Ascoril, Ascoril expectorant), is increasingly becoming the drug of informed choice in mild bronchial obstruction in childhood in pediatric practice.

Este trabalho é parte da dissertação de mestrado (em desenvolvimento) de Aline dos Santos Silva Chaves, que tem como objeto de estudo a construção SN+V+SNNU no Português do Brasil. O objetivo é investigar os construtos dessa construção que constituem chunks em textos da esfera digital. Para tanto, caracterizamos os subesquemas dessa construção em termos dos verbos que os constituem e das propriedades de esquematicidade, produtividade e composicionalidade. Buscamos demonstrar como esses padrões construcionais se distribuem num continuum, conforme o grau de enfraquecimento do sentido lexical do verbo. Analisamos a morfossintaxe e a semântica das instanciações dos chunks V+ SNNU, bem como algumas das funções discursivo-pragmáticas que eles podem desempenhar. Essas funções, assim como a lacuna lexical que esses chunks preenchem, comprovam a motivação para a existência e o uso dessas unidades sintático-semânticas. A análise segue o modelo teórico-metodológico da Linguística Funcional Centrada no Uso (FURTADO DA CUNHA; BISPO; SILVA, 2013), com contribuições da Gramática de Construções (TRAUGOTT; TROUSDALE, 2013; BYBEE, 2016 [2010]).

Authors: Teymouri Soudeh , Rakhshandeh Hasan , Baghdar Hamideh Naghedi , Yousefi Mahdi , Salari Roshanak
Published: November 2019

Background:

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a type of progressive rheumatoid disease, which leads to the degeneration of the articular cartilage, synovium, subchondral bone, tendons, and the surrounding ligaments.There are various treatments for knee OA, including pharmaceutical, nonpharmaceutical, and surgical treatments. Considering the chronic nature of the disease as well as the necessity for the long-term use of chemical medications, various side effects could occur that include gastrointestinal bleeding, hypertension, congestive heart failure, hyperkalemia, and kidney failure. Therefore, suitable treatments with fewer side effects should be recommended. Recent investigations suggest increased tendency in people to use Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) for knee OA treatment.

Objective:

This systematic review aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of herbal preparations for the treatment of OA.

Methods:

The searched databases were Cochrane, Scopus, and PubMed. All the selected papers pertained to randomized controlled trials until August 8, 2017 in English in which one or several specific herbs had been used in knee OA treatment.

Results:

We included 24 randomized trials (involving 2399 women and men). There were several different herbal medicines used within the included trials.

Conclusion:

The results show that the methods used in these trials may reduce symptoms and the extent of NSAID consumption and enhance the quality of life. Additional trials are suggested to investigate the safety and efficacy of herbs for the treatment of patients with OA.

Study of “Catalytic Functions” of the “Friend” Roles of The Analects in Business Dealings
Authors: Chen Pengrong , He Yaqin
Published: November 2019

In international business dealings, we inevitably encounter problems arising from cultural obstacles, which in business dealings influence us greatly. However, the influence of cultural barriers can be decreased by the role of friends in business dealings. Also, the discussion of the “friend” roles of The Analects gives us theoretical basis for helping us to overcome cultural barriers. Previous research has showed that nowadays business dealings are affected by cultural obstacles, but it is found that the “friend” roles of The Analects can help us, to some extent, to remove the obstacles in business dealings. This paper cited many examples of the “friend” roles of The Analects, and their excellent characters are illustrated. These characters help us to promote the common cause, strengthen business relations, extend the partnership, and enjoy the cooperation in business dealings. Therefore, according to the “friend” roles of The Analects, we can stimulate “catalytic functions” in business dealings.

El diseño del espacio público urbano para la promoción de la práctica deportiva
Authors: Morejon Sacra
Published: November 2019

A finales del siglo xx surgen en entornos urbanos europeos otras maneras más informales de realizar prácticas deportivas, que salen de los espacios convencionales para ocupar el espacio público. Se trata de un cambio de paradigma que sitúa el deporte dentro de una estructura compleja de relaciones, en la que las administraciones aprovecharan para fomentar una vida más activa de la ciudadanía, generar capital social, y mostrar una renovada imagen de la ciudad con proyección internacional. Con la voluntad de ahondar en la relación entre urbanismo y prácticas deportivas, en el presente artículo se exploran y validan las características para un diseño urbano facilitador e inclusivo. A través del análisis del frente marítimo de Barcelona se comprueba la pertinencia de su diseño para el
fomento de una vida más activa, pero se constata que las prácticas que acoge no mejoran los índices de exclusión presentes en los espacios deportivos convencionales.
El poder del poder: para un debate sobre El poder político en España
Authors: De Miguel Jesús M.
Published: November 2019

El poder político en España es uno de los mejores estudios de sociología política en nuestro país. Además incluye una base de datos, accesible a la comunidad científica, del mayor interés. Por primera vez en cuatro décadas de democracia existe una encuesta en profundidad de los parlamentarios/as en España. Incluye una encuesta detallada, presencial, a una muestra extensa de diputados del Congreso, senadores del Senado, y diputados de los 17 Parlamentos de las comunidades autónomas. En mi análisis me centro en las diferencias observadas entre representantes y representados, sobre todo con referencia a la variable nacionalista. Se intuye un silenciamiento de posiciones ideológicas no hegemónicas. Sugiero el cálculo de un índice de discrepancia, contrario al índice de responsiveness. Esas discrepancias explican la crisis política —apenas anunciada— de octubre de 2017 en Cataluña. Sería inteligente definir políticas y soluciones que disminuyan la intensidad del conflicto. Pero eso llevaría a otro libro.
Presentación del monográfico. Hacia una sociología de la innovación
Authors: van Oostrom Madelon , González de la Fe Teresa
Published: November 2019

El término “innovación” lleva décadas repitiéndose en los más variados escenarios y discursos de la vida social. Si se atiende a las tres dimensiones básicas en las que la teoría sociológica ha clasificado los fenómenos y situaciones sociales —economía,
política y cultura— el término innovación está presente y activo en cada una de ellas. En los ámbitos de la economía y el trabajo; de las ciencias y las tecnologías; de la política tanto en su dimensión pública e institucional de gobernanza como en la de acción de la sociedad civil y la ciudadanía ligada a la reforma o al activismo sociales; de la cultura en todas sus manifestaciones y creaciones simbólicas, siendo relevante por su gran impacto en el imaginario colectivo la esfera de la publicidad comercial. La innovación es un término (y un concepto) omnipresente y, por ello, sus referentes y sus significados son cambiantes e imprecisos, es polisémico y ambiguo.
El papel de los centros de investigación colaborativa en los sistemas de innovación: innovaciones estructurales para la producción de conocimiento
Authors: Giachi Sandro
Published: November 2019

Este artículo trata el problema de los varios tipos de acciones y políticas que se pueden definir como “innovaciones estructurales” en los sistemas nacionales de innovación, prestando especial atención al caso de la transformación de las interacciones entre el sector de la ciencia pública y la industria privada. El estudio se centra en la aparición y difusión de organizaciones que definen un entorno más estable y formalizado para la colaboración y la transferencia de conocimiento entre ciencia y empresa, como los centros de investigación colaborativa (CIC). El objetivo de la investigación es comprender de qué manera los CIC generan transformaciones estructurales en los sistemas de innovación. Empleando un conjunto de datos de encuesta, relativo a una muestra de 128 CIC radicados en España, se analizan las actividades y los resultados de los centros. Los resultados del análisis muestran que los centros se especializan principalmente en actividades de investigación aplicada, desempeñando un papel de productores, más que de transmisores, del conocimiento científico técnico. Así pues, para el caso español, parece que estas innovaciones estructurales cubren un “hueco funcional” entre dominios de actividad diferentes, más que un “hueco estructural” entre sectores.

Published: November 2019

The article presents the results of an empirical study conducted by the employees of the Research Institute of the Federal Penitentiary Service. The problems of the psychological selection of the employees enrolled in the reserve for the posts of heads of correctional institutions of the penitentiary system of the North Caucasus Federal District are considered. The sample consisted of 164 employees of corrective services, pre-trial detention centers, medical correctional institutions and correctional institutions in the territorial bodies of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia of the North Caucasus Federal District: age - from 25 to 45 years old, gender - male, work experience - from 3 to 10 years. The methods used in the centers of psychodiagnostics of the territorial bodies of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia were used in the psychological examination of candidates enlisted in the reserve for promotion, namely, MMPI and an expert survey. As a result of the study, the criteria for psychological readiness for managerial activities and psychological contraindications for holding a managerial position were determined. On the basis of a multiple regression analysis, a socio-psychological model, which determines the level of staﬀ readiness for management activities in correctional institutions of the Penal Enforcement System was also developed. The practical signiﬁcance of the study lies in the possibility of applying the developed model to the psychodiagnostic examination of candidates and the formation of a reserve for managerial positions.
Features of the basic values transformation in the changing reality (on the example of the Republic of Belarus)
Authors: Danilov A N , Rotman D G
Published: November 2019

The article presents the data of two research projects - European Values Study (EVS) and sociological monitoring of the information field of the Republic of Belarus conducted by the Centre for Sociological and Political Studies of the Belarusian State University. The authors make the following conclusions: the basic values of the Belarusians are quite similar to the values of other European countries; the values of the Belarussians have developed for centuries under the influence of the key events in the European history; the values of society change slowly and can be transformed only in the life cycle of at least two generations; changes in the basic values are impossible under any external or internal pressure. Any attempts to quickly change value preferences of the people under pressure usually lead to the accumulation of negative moods and finally to social upheavals. Contemporary technologies open wide opportunities for informational violence and manipulation of public consciousness. The informational impact of the traditional media and the Internet (including social media) became one of the main factors affecting the structure and content of individual value orientations. The media create the sustainable intellectual background that determines the individual perception and subsequent behavioral response to events in the country and the world. The changing everyday reality forms a new value matrix, and the media become the key technological player due to the new information-communication possibilities.
Independence of prosecutors in the Russian justice system
Authors: Bochkarev S A
Published: November 2019

Based on the data of the sociological survey, the author considers the attitude of prosecutors to their own independence and to the circumstances that can affect it. The questionnaire focused on the opinions of prosecutors and various aspects of the impact on their decisions: higher management, pressure from the media, representatives of state authorities, etc. The results of the survey prove that the relationship between the higher management and public authorities in the field of their impact on the independence of prosecutors has both functional-hierarchical and real reasons. The study revealed a coincidence of the high level of dependence on the authorities with the high level of management interference in the procedural activities of prosecutors, which allows to suggest that in most cases officials put pressure on prosecutors through their higher management. The results of the survey show that with experience the level of critical evaluation of authorities’ attempts to influence the process and the results of the prosecutors’ work increases. If young professionals do not feel rejection when face the intervention of the authorities, then with the growth of experience negative assessments of such actions appear and gradually strengthen. At the same time, the revealed indicators do not allow to say that for inexperienced prosecutors at the first stages of their professional development the phenomenon of power is unknown or unclear. On the contrary, they are familiar with it and feel the most favorable attitude towards it.
The English Economic Term ‘Human Capital’ and Its Semantic Field in Scientific Discourse
Authors: Filyasova Yulia A
Published: November 2019

Recently, human capital (HC) has acquired special relevance in response to digital economy development. A semantic study of HC is significant for its linguistic description and practical purposes of teaching business English to students, specializing in economics and management. The aims of the research were to analyze dictionary definitions, compare them with contextual interpretations, and identify syntagmatic relations and lexical collocability of the term HC in scientific discourse. 340 article titles and their abstracts from 18 journals on economics and management served as the material for the research. The methods included continuous sampling, analysis of contextual relations, semantic classification, and componential analysis. The results of definition analysis showed that HC has intangible components of meaning and partly overlaps with resources , in opposition to capital which has monetary nature. Contextual interpretations disclose more semantic aspects of HC. Monetary relations and production factors make it closer to capital . Considerable attention is paid to HC formation and measurement. Terms, related to HC, embrace a wide variety of phenomena from almost all functional areas of business, which indicate the importance of HC for sustainable development, increasing profit and competitiveness. Semantic classification of collocations shows that HC is considered at the personal, organizational and national levels. The most frequent syntagmatic sequences include HC+N , N+Prep.+HC , and Adj.+HC . Objective valency type: V+HC is more common than subjective: HC+V . The most frequent collocations are HC accumulation , HC investments , and the role of HC .
Assessment of soil erosion of Burundi using remote sensing and GIS by RUSLE model
Authors: Nijimbere Gilbert , Lizana Christian Riveros
Published: November 2019

This present work is the results of study on water erosion in Burundi, a landlocked country amid the African Great Lakes region where East and Central Africa converge. The agriculture is developed in areas where the slopes is very steep and some factors such as land-use methods weaken soils and lead to water erosion and the results in soil degradation rendering it infertile. Production on this way is becoming insufficient for the rapidly growing of population. The extension of cultivated land often not linked to anti-erosion measures exposes the soil to intense erosion. The results get it of processing satellite images (Landsat 8) allowed to identify the main places where erosion is very severe. Lost soil was estimated by the RUSLE method and using four raster images corresponding to factors related to precipitation, soil erodibility, topography, slope length and vegetation cover. The results obtained allow the identification of areas around all the country where the interventions of government and environment protection institutions are necessary to limit the processes of soil degradation.

Prospects for achieving the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution of Kazakhstan in the framework of the Paris climate convention was assessed through projections of greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions of 31 large energy enterprises by 2030. The total CO2 emissions of these enterprises reach 86,9 million tons or 26,5 % of the country’s GHG emissions. For projection of the GHG emissions of the selected power plants three scenarios - “business as usual” (trend), “moderate modernization” and “full modernization” - were designed. “The unconditional target” would remain unachievable in the “business as usual” and even “moderate modernization” scenarios. However, the scenario of “full modernization” allows reaching “the unconditional target” with a good reserve. Moreover, this scenario allows reaching “the conditional target”. Our assessment of potential for reduction of the GHG emissions shows that Kazakhstan’s commitments in the Paris climate convention are very responsible. To meet these commitments technological modernization of the entire industrial sector of the country would be required. It could be achieved only by full mobilization of material and financial resources.

This article is devoted to the organization of agricultural production of feed. Studied basic views on the definition of “fodder” and “fodder base”, and their relationship to agriculture. On the basis of the system approach the main factors influencing efficiency of system of agricultural production of forages for cattle are revealed. The criteria for increasing the efficiency of feed production in the process of structuring the formation of the forage base are substantiated. The analysis shows how the agricultural sector is not a closed system. The level of economic development of feed production and the formation of the feed base is determined not only by internal but also external factors, the organization of the correct interaction of which acts as a starting point for accelerating scientific and technological progress in the industry and increasing the level of development of agriculture.
Parallel algorithm for numerical solution of heat equation in complex cylindrical domain

Published: November 2019

In this article we present a parallel algorithm for simulation of the heat conduction process inside the so-called pulse cryogenic cell. This simulation is important for designing the device for portion injection of working gases into ionization chamber of ion source. The simulation is based on the numerical solving of the quasilinear heat equation with periodic source in a multilayered cylindrical domain. For numerical solution the Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) method is used. Due to the non-linearity of the heat equation the simple-iteration method has been applied. In order to ensure convergence of the iteration process, the adaptive time-step has been implemented. The parallelization of the calculation has been realized with shared memory application programming interface OpenMP and the performance of the parallel algorithm is in agreement with the case studies in literature.

This paper describes the created mathematical model that allows you to explore the dynamics of cavitation bubbles under the influence of a single negative pressure pulse. The time dependence and coordinates of the parameters of the carrier phase, the temperature and pressure of the vapor phase, the concentration and size of the bubbles are determined numerically. It is concluded that the model created gives a good agreement between the calculated and experimental data.
ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVES ON THE EXISTENCE OF SOUL AND ITS INFLUENCE IN HUMAN LEARNING (A Philosophical Analysis of the Classical and Modern Learning Theories)
Authors: ZA Tabrani , Masbur Masbur
Published: November 2019

Islam believes in the existence of soul and its influence in human learning. Islam believes that human being consists of both body and soul, Islamic perspective on how a person learns from insani experience also differs compared to contemporary Western psychological perspective. This paper aims to provide a view Islam on the psychology of learning in terms of the two sides of the Ilahiyyah (Islam) and Insaniyyah (Psychology). This discussion will provide an overview of the concept of learning that Islam is divided into two sources: directly from Allah (Ilahiyyah) and through human experience (insaniyyah). Source God can be in the form of revelation, inspiration (inspiration), and a true dream (ru'ya sadiqah). Human experience can be in the form of conditioning, observation, and cognition. Moreover, this discussion would like to see contemporary learning theory from the Islamic perspectives. The Islamic perspectives will include Qurâ€™anic verses, Prophetic Hadiths, stories of the Prophets and Companions, and the work of early Muslim scholars such as Ibn Sina and al-Ghazali using terms familiar to contemporary psychology.

It can be said if the adult has the perfect physical growth and reached the psychological maturity to be able to live and contribute together other adults. In American culture, a child is considered not achieve adult status if he has not reached the age of 21 years. Meanwhile in Indonesian culture, a person is considered officially reached adult status if already married, even though he has not yet reached 21 years. psychologists set around the age of 20 years as early adulthood and lasts until around the age of 40-45 years. Adulthood can be said to be the longest period in the life span. During this long period, physical and psychological changes occur at times that can be foreseen that pose adjustment problems, pressures, and expectations. In the teachings of Islam, that the need for religion because man as a creature of God is equipped with a variety of potential (nature) inborn. One such character is the tendency toward religion. One of this nature, that humans accept God as God, in other words, human beings have a tendency is on the origin of religion, because religion is part of his nature. Religious for adults is already a way of living and not just bandwagon. Stability in view of religious life and religious behavior a person, not no longer on the static stability, dynamic stability but, where at one point he knows well the changes. The change occurred because the process of consideration of the mind, knowledge, and perhaps because of the existing conditions.
