Environmental and motor education for shaping personality in preschool: a systematic review/Educación motriz y ambiental para favorecer el desarrollo de la personalidad en educación infantil: una revisión sistemática
Authors: Valentini Manuela , Nisi Virginia , Fombona Javier , Federici Ario
Published: November 2018

The aim of this article is to research and better understand the advantages the natural environment can provide to the overall development of the child, particularly to the shaping of personality between three and five years of age. Thanks to educational theories and studies and thanks to the findings of fourteen recent scientific research papers, numerous advantages of physical activity in a natural environment were found, for the growth, for the cognitive, motor and socio-emotional development in preschool age. All the works that we have examined have had natural environment as background and the preschool child as “budding” protagonist. The results show that in nature there is possibility to undertake important learning processes through: exploration and direct discovery of knowledge on the field; a better understanding and command of one’s own motor skills through a wide range of movements; strong and deep socio-emotional connections with a group of peers collaborating towards shared goals; bravery and self-efficacy when autonomously solving challenging situations and when approaching risk, which are all fundamental aspects for the future adult and citizen's education.
Nuevas aportaciones a los estudios sobe el uso de cavidades naturales durante la Edad Media en la provincia de León. New contributions to the studies on the use of natural caves during Middle Ages in the province of Leon

Published: November 2018

In order to study the impacts of the stator magnetic pull per unit area (MPPUA) characteristics under different field winding inter-turn short-circuit (FWISC) degrees in generator, comparative study of 3D numerical simulations and experiments are respectively taken to calculate the quantitative data of stator MPPUA by finite-element method (FEM) in this paper. Firstly, the nature exciting force of stator vibration, which is called MPPUA, is carried out. Then simulations data on MPPUA under normal condition and different short-circuit degrees are obtained. Finally, the variation rules of MPPUA characteristics by experiments under different conditions are studied. The results show that in normal condition the main harmonic components of MPPUA consist of only 6th-harmonic component. However, the occurrence of FWISC will bring in extra 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th-harmonic components to MPPUA. Meanwhile, with the increasing of the rotor short circuit degrees, the amplitudes of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th-harmonic components will present an increasing trend. However, the amplitudes of 6th-harmonic component will present a decrease trend.
In the era of endo-venous ablation of varicose veins, is surgery still competitive?
Authors: Elmallah Ahmed S. , Alkhateeb Yehia M. , Elmallah Said I.
Published: November 2018

Background: There are different evolving minimally invasive surgical options for varicose veins (VV) treatment. This study compared Endo-venous Laser Ablation (EVLA) and foam sclerotherapy Vs high tie and multiple phlebectomy / ligation without vein stripping.Methods: 185 lower limbs with primary VV and sapheno-femoral junction (SFJ)incompetence were included. Patients were divided into two groups. Group A: 85 limbs in 78 patients (4 had chronic venous ulcers) were treated by EVLA & foam sclerotherapy under tumescent anesthesia. Group B: 100 limbs in 100 patients (5 had chronic venous ulcers) were treated by high tie and multiple phlebectomy/ ligation under local anesthesia. All patients had duplex ultrasound preoperative and 4 weeks and 1 year postoperatively. Postoperative outpatient follow-up was 4 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months.Results: All procedures were successful. Early postoperative recurrence in 3 limbs (3.52%) in EVLA and no early recurrence in group B. Patients with venous ulcers healed within 3-5 weeks in both groups. Postoperative pigmentation was higher in group B. Mean time of procedure was 60-90 min and 60-150 min respectively. Significant pain in first week was more in group A (40 patients) than group B (22 patients) p<0.05. No DVT, wound infection, permanent nerve affection nor skin burn was recorded in both groups. Return to normal activities was quicker in Group B compared to group A but mean cost per limb was higher in Group B (1000 -1500 US $) versus Group A (500-750 US$).Conclusions: Both procedures are effective and safe in treating varicose veins. Minimally invasive surgery was less costly, more postoperative pain and was associated with longer operative time. EVLA was associated with more postoperative pigmentation and 1 year VV recurrence.
Use of serum lactate and serum sodium at admission to predict mortality in necrotising fasciitis
Authors: S. Sudhir , Arora Rachit
Published: November 2018

Background: The term necrotizing fasciitis (NF) describes a group of life-threatening infections of the skin, soft tissues, and muscles, which tend to progress rapidly through the fascia planes, causing gradual destruction of the fascia. The mortality rate for NF remains high and has not changed significantly for several decades. The prognosis depends on accurate diagnosis and immediate institution of appropriate treatment.The current difficulty in initial diagnosis is due to the lack of obvious skin findings early on in the infection. Laboratory tests, including the laboratory risk indicator for necrotizing fasciitis, gas on imaging tests, and physical exam findings.Methods: This is a prospective study of 100 patients of necrotising fasciitis. Serum sodium and serum lactate at time of admission were used to predict mortality.Results: Total of 21 patients died. Above Serum lactate value of 2.95mmol/l mortality rate was 48.3%. and below it was 9.9%. Serum sodium was non significant in predicting mortality.Conclusions: The mortality of NF remains high. A simple model using serum lactate at time of admission may help identify patients at greatest risk of death.
Inferno and Los Caprichos of a Translator. Translation of Intertextual References in Andrzej Bursa’s Poems
Authors: Sztorc Weronika
Published: November 2018

In his poetic output, Andrzej Bursa alluded to a variety of Polish and foreign artistic works: mostly poetry and prose, but not only (e.g. Goya’s Los Caprichos and Dante’s Divine Comedy). The paper discusses the intertextual allusions in Bursa’s poems and analyzes the translation techniques applied Kevin Christianson and Halina Abłamowicz (Utwory zebrane. Selected Poems, 2008). In the first part, a brief introduction of the issue of intertextuality and its translation is presented. The analysis concerns the function of those allusions and it leads to seeing what was preserved and what was lost in translation, and in what way it influences the final form of the English versions. As in a number of cases the translators did not use the already existing (and published) English translations of the quoted works, a question are asked whether the references remained recognizable.

Authors: Misiewicz Katarzyna
Published: November 2018

Niniejszy artykuł traktuje o substytucji, popularnym i bardzo trudnym narzędziu translatorskim, który umiejętnie użyty pozwala rozwiązać problem nieprzekładalności oraz zatarcie różnic kulturowych i językowych między oryginałem a przekładem. Na przykładzie popularnych we Włoszech przekładów poezji Wisławy Szymborskiej autorstwa Pietra Marchesaniego zostaje przedstawiona charakterystyka oraz ogólna kategoryzacja tej transformacji. Można wymienić następujące jej typy: leksykalny, gramatyczny, stylistyczny i metryczny. Między innymi dzięki umiejętnym posługiwaniu się narzędziem substytucji Pietrze Marchesaniemu udało się zachować poetycką kwintesencję poezji Szymborskiej, a przy tym sprawić wrażenie, że jej poezja została napisana po włosku.
Intercultural Competence in Translator Training
Authors: Klimczak-Pawlak Agata
Published: November 2018

With the superdiversity (Blommaert 2010, 2013) of today’s societies translator training faces new challenges. This article sets out to explore the issue of intercultural competence in translator training from the perspective of the views and beliefs of English language majors in Poland. Rather than discussing the translation programmes offered to students, the study presented here concentrates on preconceptions as to who a translator is, what skills, knowledge and competences are crucial for a translator and what difficulties s/he may face. Students’ beliefs prove that they are ready for courses which will encourage them to reflect on their views and will help them deepen their understanding of culture to include intercultural aspects as well as aspects of their own culture. As Polish students wanting to be translators may simply not be aware of the intercultural challenges entailed by the profession, it is argued here that overt, explicit focus on intercultural communication and raising students’ intercultural competence is needed.
M3 as an economic indicator in the Eurozone
Authors: Cernohorska Libena , Kubicova Darina
Published: November 2018

The aim of this paper is to analyse the influence of monetary aggregate on economic indicators in the Eurozone. Cointegration, this selected indicator monetary aggregate M3, is demonstrated in relation to the development of Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), gross domestic product (GDP), commodity prices and credits using Granger causality. Quarterly data between the years 1996 and 2017 are included in the analysis. Because we did not confirm the long-term relationship of the selected indicators, we continue with Granger causality. We found causal relationships between monetary aggregate M3 and GDP, HICP, commodity prices and credits. In all cases, the selected indicators have the opposite effect in Granger causality too. We also cannot definitely evaluate the effectiveness of the European Central Bankâ€™s monetary policy and cannot confirm the use of monetary aggregate M3 as an economic indicator of future economic development in the Eurozone.Keywords: Eurozone, GDP, Granger causality, HICP, M3, monetary aggregate.

Authors: Ozturk Serdar , Cipe Bilge
Published: November 2018

The financial crises of the 1929 Great Depression influenced all the countries of the world on a more frequent and wider scale with the influence of globalisation toward the end of the 20th century. Banking crises are in fact the result of a domino effect of other crises. In this study, the effects of the global banking crisis of 2008 and its effect on happiness index were investigated. With the effects of crises, the individual can experience fragility both sociologically and psychologically. Does this fragility that an individual is experiencing can only be attributed to one effect? Also, the happiness indices between the years 2006 and 2016 of the G7 countries most affected by the 2008 global financial crisis and the GNP per capita figures were tested by the panel ARDL method. Analysed results show that the GNP figures, which declined between 2008 and 2010, have not been produced much effect on happiness levels.Keywords: Banking crisis, happiness index, G7, panel ARDL.Jel Classification: C23, G01, I31.

Authors: Doszhan Gulzhan
Published: November 2018

It is to consider that on the basis of international relationships, interlingual contacts amplify, certainly, loanwords concern to one of its main indicators. The dictionary fund of any language is enriched at the expense of the internal lexical resources of this language and at the expense of loanwords of other languages. In this regard, it should be noted that Turkic languages accept a large number of borrowings and terms from English. Such language situation is one of the reasons for the emergence of an interference process as a result of which the standard of speech of the Turkic people is broken. In this paper, the semantical peculiarities of English business terms in Turkic language are comprehensively analysed and puts forward a number of constructive recommendations on the development of Turkic terminological fund.Keywords: English business terms, Turkic languages, semantics, language contacts.

The correlation between the reasons for study and reading behaviour among graduate students
Authors: Hitipeuw Imanuel
Published: November 2018

This study aimed at knowing the reasons for the study of the graduate students, their reading behaviour and the correlation between them. Participants were 135 postgraduate students. Data were collected by using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed the reason for the study of the students got an average mean score close to the strong category with the dominant aspects of career and investment; while reading behaviours fell into a strong category, where dominant aspects based on the type of reading and duration. The coefficient correlation between the two variables was 0.189 and this was a very weak correlation. The findings implied that continuing studies to a higher level is not automatically coupled with better reading behaviour. They may attend the school not for learning but for a piece of certificate as a future invest or career and salary. Therefore, engaging those students in the process of learning is more important.Keywords: Reasons for study, reading behaviour, graduate students.
Cognitive Vulnerability and Stress for Emotional and Behavioral Problems in Children and Adolescents: A Longitudinal Study
Authors: Barreto Isabella Soares , Teodoro Maycoln Leoni Martins , Ohno Priscilla Moreira , Froeseler Mariana Verdolin Guilherme
Published: November 2018

The present study investigated Beck’s cognitive diathesis-stress theory (1967, 1987) for the prediction of emotional and behavioral problems in childhood. The study included 218 participants aged 10 to 16 years (M = 12.38, SD = 1.16) who underwent two evaluations with an interval of 8.4 months between them. In the first evaluation, sample was divided according to the participants’ cognitive vulnerability (vulnerable, moderate, resilient) and in the second, by their experience of stressful events in recent months (low risk, moderate risk, high risk). The groups were compared by variation in the intensity of the symptoms over time. Results showed that high-risk cognitively vulnerable children had increased externalizing symptoms and children with moderate and high cognitive vulnerability had increased internalizing symptoms at Time 2. These results suggest the importance of considering dysfunctional cognitions and the existence of a certain level of stressful events for the development of psychopathology in childhood.

Authors: Haigh Emily A. P. , Quiñones Victoria , Moore Michael T.
Published: November 2018

Research on social problem-solving ability or the cognitive-behavioral processes used to find successful solutions to everyday problems has been advanced by the availability of easy-to-administer self-report measures. The goal of the current study is twofold: (a) validate the factor structure of the Social Problem-Solving Inventory–Revised: Short Form (SPSI-R:S) and (b) examine the relationship between depressive rumination subtypes and dimensions of social problem solving. An initial confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) in Sample 1 revealed poor model fit. An exploratory factor analysis revealed that several items cross-loaded on more than one factor. These items were removed and a subsequent CFA demonstrated adequate model. The revised model was validated in a second sample and convergent and divergent validity were examined. Brooding was related to more maladaptive problem-solving ability while reflection was generally associated with a more adaptive problem-solving style. No gender differences were found.

Looking Beyond Institutional Boundaries: Examining Adults’ Experience of Choosing Online as Part of Their Post-Secondary Studies
Authors: Rasmussen Kari
Published: November 2018

This research focused beyond the student, course, program, or institution by examining the conceptions of adults at the moment in time that they evaluated their choice to engage in furthering their post-secondary education by examining the possibilities provided through online learning. To capture their experience, not as students but as members of society, a practice of care framework, adapted from Tronto’s (1993) work, was utilized as a theoretical framework.  The use of this framework acknowledges that the practice of care is present in the lives of every human being and that each human being has received and/or provided care as part of their lived experience. A phenomenographical qualitative approach was the basis for the design of this project which allowed for the identification of the commonalities and variations of the described experience.  All described experiences illustrated the balancing of needs, wants, and responsibilities, these descriptions included recognition of care of one’s self, one’s family, and one’s community. The variation could be described as an expansion of the recognition of care, that is the focus of care expanded from self to family and then from family to community. This expansion occurred only in those described experiences that showed a strong conception of themselves within the previous category. The findings show that the choice to access online courses and/or programs provides possibilities for many adults that wish to continue their education but only if the educational environment can move away from its institutional centric perspective.
Analysing Structured Learning Behaviour in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs): An Approach Based on Process Mining and Clustering
Authors: Van den Beemt Antoine , Buijs Joos , Van der Aalst Wil
Published: November 2018

The increasing use of digital systems to support learning leads to a growth in data regarding both learning processes and related contexts. Learning Analytics offers critical insights from these data, through an innovative combination of tools and techniques. In this paper, we explore students’ activities in a MOOC from the perspective of personal constructivism, which we operationalized as a combination of learning behaviour and learning progress. This study considers students’ data analyzed as per the MOOC Process Mining: Data Science in Action. We explore the relation between learning behaviour and learning progress in MOOCs, with the purpose to gain insight into how passing and failing students distribute their activities differently along the course weeks, rather than predict students' grades from their activities. Commonly-studied aggregated counts of activities, specific course item counts, and order of activities were examined with cluster analyses, means analyses, and process mining techniques. We found four meaningful clusters of students, each representing specific behaviour ranging from only starting to fully completing the course. Process mining techniques show that successful students exhibit a more steady learning behaviour. However, this behaviour is much more related to actually watching videos than to the timing of activities. The results offer guidance for teachers.

TECHNOLOGICAL POTENTIAL OF SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ACTIVITY IN DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIORAL TEENAGERS’ STRATEGIES PREVENTION
Authors: SOLNTSEV Mikhail Nikolaevich
Published: November 2018

Social and cultural features of destructive behavior among adolescents, such as “subjective adulthood”, communication with peers, affilation, conformal behavior, emotional instability are considered. Destructive behavior is defined as a stable behavior of the personality, deviating from the most important social norms, accompanied by its social disadaptation. It is noted that modern theories of deviance interpret destructive behavior in the context of a hierarchical system of factors manifested at the individual and group levels. Modern types of destruction prevention are characterized (“direct” – information and educational activity in the study of the features of destruction and their destructive consequences and “indirect” – the formation of basic life skills). The successive stages of socio-cultural prevention deviant behavior in adolescents are selected: correctional and psychological (diagnosis and development of an adaptive prevention programs at the secondary and tertiary prevention); educational (social and cultural competence of teenagers development); art therapy (certain communication and interaction skills needed to adapt to the group norms development). The technologies of social and cultural activity are considered as an effective resource for creating conditions for personal realization. The review of social and cultural practices aimed at destructive behavior of teenagers prevention, implemented on the basis of the application of social and cultural activity technologies complex. Among the most effective forms of social and cultural prevention lectures, project activities, creation of multimedia catalogs, integration in volunteer activities, creative competitions, informal educational courses etc. are highlighted.

Authors: NEGIN Vladimir Vladimirovich
Published: November 2018

The characteristic of youth extremism in the context of destructive way of solving social problems from the standpoint of extremist ideology is given. The main state directions of prevention of youth extremism are systematized and characterized: preventive measures against terrorism, anti-extremist information and education, integration educational courses on intercultural literacy, events organization for the development of social and cultural activity of the individual and the formation of active citizenship. The main vectors of youth extremism prevention, in which a special role is given to social partnership – the system of interaction of state structures and civil society, consolidating efforts in this problem solution. At the same time the effective forms of social and cultural activities aimed at solving the problem: monitoring, patriotic educational activities, organization of creative ethno-oriented evenings, international cultural and creative festivals are described. It is proved that social partnership has sufficient potential to make the process of extremism prevention most effective on the basis of complex interaction of state and public structures involved in the implementation of anti-extremist policy, taking into account religious interests, as well as differentiation of the targeted focus of preventive measures. The basic principles of social partnership are highlighted, without which it is impossible to build effective cooperation: integration and complementarity, confessional parity, targeted orientation. The analysis of social practices realized on the social partnership basis, aimed at intercultural dialogue, international cooperation, patriotism development and civic activity of youth is presented.
PECULIARITIES OF DEVELOPMENT AND LEGAL REGULATION OF ACTIVITY OF STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN RUSSIA IN THE 17th – THE 21st CENTURIES
Authors: SHEPELEV Denis Viktorovich , SHEPELEVA Dina Viktorovna
Published: November 2018

The peculiarities of the historical way of development of state-owned enterprises and the expression of their legitimate interests in obtaining profit are considered. That acquires the actual aspect taking into account modern economic realities and market conditions. The development of social values that make up the legal culture of society is dynamic with the market and economy development. The existence on the market of such public legal structures as state-owned enterprises allows the state simultaneously to make profit and realize specific, sometimes unique goals and objectives, such as the implementation of separately subsidized activities, chemical and military industries. By their legal nature, state-owned enterprises have the purpose of making a profit and are commercial organizations. The concept of “state-owned enterprise” had not been directly fixed in the domestic legislation until the adoption of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Such formulations as “state-owned factories”, “state-owned plants” were typical for state-owned enterprises in the pre-revolutionary period. In this regard the use of the term “state-owned enterprises” was applicable to all state-owned industry. In Soviet legislation the term “enterprise” was used without specifying the characteristics that reflect their state nature. It is concluded that the historical way of state-owned enterprises formation in Russia has passed a rather long and complicated process from the point of view of ownership, but the essence and historical purpose of the creation have not changed – it is the state defense and industry maintenance.
CONSTITUTIONS OF JAWAHARLAL NEHRU AND LIAQUAT ALI KHAN: CORRELATION OF POLITICAL STRATEGY AND STATE AND LEGAL REALIA OF INDEPENDENT INDIA AND PAKISTAN (1947–1956)
Authors: CHERESHNEVA Larisa Aleksandrovna
Published: November 2018

India and Pakistan, which emerged on the political map of the world 70 years ago, with the end of two hundred years of colonial rule of Britain, appeared to be the first states in the South Asia that demonstrated the uniqueness of the algorithms of the sovereignty of the liberated countries of the East. To what extent was it possible to combine tradition and modernization in their state-building? Return to the Eastern despotism, monarchical princely forms of governing or the creation of republics? What was the role in the States of free Hindustan to be supposed for their religion, religious institutions? Could the system of separation of powers correspond to the traditional ideas of many Indian and Pakistani peoples about power? We describe the characteristics of the program models of the state system, developed by the leading political forces of Colonial India – the All-Indian National Congress and the Muslim League for the future independent Hindustan, and their correlation with the real state and legal foundations of the Indian Union and Pakistan, formed in 1947–1956. It is noted that the League had only a general idea of the state formation and nation-building of Pakistan, which could not but affect the specifics of the Muslim project “Two Nations-two Indias” and subsequently led Pakistan to slide to the military dictatorships. The interrelation of the development of democratic legislation with the ideas of social justice, equality of national and ethno-religious minorities and the title majority is shown, the emphasis is placed on the risks of violation of the historical multiculturalism of the Indian civilization. We have involved the Indian, Pakistani and British documentaries on state-legal, historical and political issues, archival materials of the National Archives of India.
ASSESSMENT OF YOUNG SPORTSMEN’S ABILITY TO ENDURE PHYSICAL PAIN
Authors: POYDUNOV Aleksandr Aleksandrovich
Published: November 2018

We present diagnostics data of young kickboxer’s ability to withstand physical pain. The research was carried out with children of 6–12 years old at Sports and Patriotic School “Patriot” in Belgorod. We have examined 18 people. We used such research methods as analysis, integration of information from specialized literature, I.I. Kuznetsov’s applicator, comparative analysis. Physical pain perceptions of kickboxers were assessed after exploitation of the applicator with verbal scale of pain assessment and modified facial scale of pain assessment. While examining kickboxer’s ability to withstand physical pain we put the applicator on the examinee’s shoulder and pressed it with a cuff, then we pumped the air in it, thus, increased the pressure, and the result in millimeters of mercury column was fixed on the manometer. The received results were compared not only on two scales, but in the regard of quality indicator of the first young sportsmen’s participation in sparring. We came to conclusion that all the examinees could be divided into three groups: those who have high sensitivity to physical pain are the first group; the second group has the medium rate of sensitivity; the third group has the low rate of sensitivity. We have observed the regular pattern: the higher the rate of sensitivity of examinees, the worse their results in the first sparring, they are more afraid of the battle, they become passive and unconfident. The received data of the research are published for the first time. It has theoretical and practical relevance, for example, for the primary kickboxing selection or other combat sports. The results of the research may be valuable for the further studies on problems of overcoming physical pain in combat sports.

At the same time, the corresponding inexact PHSS algorithm (IPHSS) is given from the angle of application. All the new methods presented in this paper have given the corresponding convergence proof. The numerical experiments are carried out to compare the new method with the existing methods, and the improvement effect is obvious. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method are proved from two aspects of theory and calculation.

O objetivo do artigo é analisar as migrações internacionais do Brasil no período 2005-2010, com ênfase especial na imigração de retorno de brasileiros e seus efeitos indiretos, tendo como fonte o Censo Demográfico de 2010. Num primeiro momento, são examinadas as informações de imigração internacional, com base nos quesitos de última etapa e data fixa, assim como as emigrações para o exterior, a partir do novo quesito introduzido no último censo. Num segundomomento, são estimados os efeitos indiretos da imigração de retorno internacional para o Brasil. Entre os resultados, observou-se que o volume de imigrantes e emigrantes é relativamente pequeno, em relação ao tamanho da população brasileira, e a diferença entre as migrações internacionais de última etapa levaria a uma conclusão equivocada, de pequeno saldo negativo no quinquênio 2005-2010. Porém, ao se considerarem os imigrantes cuja última etapa migratória é interna e que em 2005 residiam no exterior, o saldo migratório torna-se positivo. Pode-se afirmar que as migrações internacionais no período 2005-2010 não impactaram, de maneirasignificativa, o tamanho e a composição da população brasileira. Dos 361,8 mil imigrantes internacionais de última etapa do período 2005-2010, 68,8% eram brasileiros natos. Quando se levam em conta seus efeitos indiretos, conclui-se que a migração de retorno no Brasil, noperíodo, explica 75,5% dos seus fluxos imigratórios.
Are Corporate Governance Code Disclosure and Engagement Principles Effective Vehicles for Corporate Accountability? The United Kingdom as a Case Study
Authors: North Gill
Published: November 2018

Disclosure and engagement principles are included in every corporate governance code, reflecting a critical emphasis on communication as a vehicle for corporate accountability. These communication principles have been a focus of reform worldwide, prompted by shifts in financial market and social expectations of corporations. The article examines the disclosure and engagement provisions in the Corporate Governance Code in the United Kingdom (and the proposed reforms to these provisions) as a case study. The proposed initiatives seek to strengthen the voice of employees and enhance disclosure around environmental and social concerns. However, this article contends that the gains achieved from these reforms may be marginal due to structural deficiencies. The incremental disclosure and engagement obligations are expected to be flexible and loosely phrased, with a negligible probability of significant market consequences or regulatory intervention. Moreover, most substantive corporate communication will continue to occur at private forums between directors and selected institutional investors. In financial markets with these regulatory settings, effective governance mechanisms to ensure broad and independent accountability of corporations are lacking or weak. Indeed, these legal structures encourage and legitimise carefully differentiated private and public communication channels, with the public discourse used to present a sparkling company image. Policy makers need to re-consider their reliance on private forums to improve governance standards and ensure that public communication frameworks are inclusive, responsive, probative and enforced. In this way, company law will start to meet the growing calls for corporates to act as responsible citizens.
Rigless Abandonment with Bismuth and Thermite

In today's oil and gas industry, successful well abandonment is becoming increasingly more important, particularly in subsea wells. Proper abandonment of a well the first time not only saves the operator time and money, it also ensures that our environment is not negatively impacted. To accomplish this, the wells must have gas tight seals placed in them that that will maintain their integrity long after the well has been abandoned. A new way to create these gas tight seals is to combine the unique properties of bismuth with the heat capacity of thermite.

Due to sharp oil price downturn in last few years, operators have been looking for ways to reduce operating expenses, especially on non producing assets. Well abandonment is proposed for non producing wells to reduce long term operating expenses. For well abandonment, traditional practice was well abandonment at reservoir level, with the purpose of securing entire well integrity as safety was the main concern. However, due to huge amount of time and cost associated to traditional well abandonment method, operators have been looking for optimization on well abandonment.

Field B is located in offshore Sarawak, and has been producing since 1968. Currently, Field B is in second half of its life cycle, and some wells and facilities are currently planned for decommissioning and abandonment. Well abandonment studies were initiated for 3 wells in Field B, with the purpose of reducing long term operating expenditures and minimize operation complexity. The studies are conducted by integrated team, consists of Petrophysicist, Reservoir Engineer, Production Technologist and Workover Engineer.

Well abandonment studies adopted integrated assessment approach, with the focus of reducing the time and cost related to well abandonment without jeopardizing safety requirements. As results, proposed abandonment intervals are significantly reduced compared to what has been planned initially. With simplified well abandonment plan, fit-for-purpose rig is used, and well abandonment operation cost is reduced with reduction in rig day rate. This paper will chronicle well abandonment optimization through workflow optimization and integrated assessment for well abandonment proposal.

This paper presents an alternative method for decommissioning offshore wellhead platform using converted flat top barge as decommissioning barge. The barge shall have capability to self-decommissioning topside and jacket and transportation to disposal premises. The key advantage for this propose new concept is to eliminate using of heavy derrick-crane vessel for all decommissioning activities, this can help to reduce cost for decommissioning in significant magnitude and also reduce marine hazards due to heavy lift handling. The barge will be installed with accommodation module, special tools and equipment such as mooring system, reverse float-over lifting with heave-compensation system & skidding appliances, jacket bottom lifting appliances and etc. in order to perform decommissioning activities under opensea environment with only minimal assist from marine support vessel. The decommissioning barge concept is designed to suit with various sizes of wellhead platform. Extensive engineering study has been performed in term of naval architect and structure engineering to proof feasibility of decommissioning barge concept and the existing platform located in Gulf of Thailand where is prone to Typhoon extreme sea condition. The study result shows that modify barge is feasible to perform decommissioning of various sized wellhead platforms. Applicable worldwide offshore and Southeast Asian fields, present many similar platforms where this innovative tools can be used to make an economy of scale in the removal operations. The feasibility study also include scope of explore opportunity to further improvement in term of flexible operation and cost saving. The following two options are performed the high level feasibility study and cost sensitivity with positive result outcomes. Option 1 -Decommissioning barge with self-propelled systemOption 2 -Decommissioning barge with self-propelled with control stationkeeping capabilities

In term of cost saving, sensitivity study to compare the cost with conventional method is perform. Based on decommissioning execution over an entire service life, the decommissioning barge can gain cost saving over 23%.
