Pre-Day Scheduling of Charging Processes in Mobility-on-Demand Systems Considering Electricity Price and Vehicle Utilization Forecasts
Authors: Dandl Florian , Fehn Fabian , Bogenberger Klaus , Busch Fritz
Published: May 2020

Electrifying mobility-on-demand (MoD) fleets is

an important step towards a more sustainable transportation

system. With increasing fleet size, MoD operators will be

able to participate in the energy exchange market and will

have access to time-varying electricity prices. They can benefit from intelligent scheduling of charging processes considering forecasts of electricity prices and vehicle utilization. Considering a long time horizon of, e.g., a day improves scheduling decisions, but electricity prices change in a short interval of 15 minutes; hence, an optimization-based approach needs to overcome challenges regarding computational time. For this reason, we develop a macroscopic model to study the tradeoffs between electricity, battery wear and level-of-service costs. In scenarios with varying fleet size and different numbers of

charging units, we compare the performance of several reactive and scheduling policies in a simulation framework based on a macroscopic model. Overall, the results of the study show that an MoD provider with 2000 vehicles could save several thousands of euros in daily operational costs by changing from a state of charge reactive charging strategy to one adapting to the price fluctuations of the electricity exchange market.
Changing Minds: The Impact of Study Abroad Components on Students’ Changes in Their Religious Faith
Authors: Poag Trevor , Sperandio Jill
Published: May 2020

This study used Gardner’s (2006) framework of mind change to explore how alumni of the Latin American Studies Program (LASP) perceived specific study abroad components to influence changes in their religious faith. LASP alumni completed an anonymous, qualitative survey that invited them to indicate whether studying abroad influenced a change in their religious faith, describe this change and its consequent actions, and identify the study abroad components that most influenced this change. The survey generated 430 responses, which represent 24% of LASP’s alumni population. Results indicated that 89% of respondents perceived that studying abroad influenced a change in their religious faith. Respondents’ descriptions of this change revealed four themes—increased awareness of culture’s influence on religious faith, new embrace of doubt, more inclusive religious faith, and greater emphasis on social justice. Respondents’ descriptions of the actions that emerged from these changes illustrated five themes—justice-centered vocation, creating sustainable economies, transforming communities, family decisions, and personal development. Consistent with Gardner’s framework of mind change, respondents identified a blend of components that influenced their changes in religious faith. In respondents’ views, formal learning experiences (lectures, readings, assignments) that were brought to life by reflective engagement of the Latin American context (relationships with host families, study trips, discussion groups) drove their changes in religious faith. The results encourage educational leaders to prioritize study abroad models that achieve integration between formal learning experiences and direct engagement of the host context. The findings also indicate a need for more research on how specific study abroad components relate to student learning.

Published: May 2020

Introdução: A síndrome do impacto do ombro é definida como uma disfunção orgânica do manguito rotador por meio de microtraumas nos tecidos localizados no espaço subacromial resultando em uma dificuldade para executar sua função. A fisioterapia tem grande relevância na sua reabilitação, visando diminuir a inflamação e dor, fortalecer a musculatura, restaurar a amplitude articular, funcionalidade e independência do indivíduo. Objetivo: Analisar a literatura acerca dos efeitos das técnicas de terapia manual na síndrome do impacto do ombro. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura com buscas de artigos científicos publicados entre os anos de 2014 a 2019, sem restrição de idioma, indexados nas bases de dados eletrônicas: Pubmed (United States National Library of Medicine), CENTRAL (Cochrane Controlled Register of Trials), BVS (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde), PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database) e Biblioteca Virtual da Faculdade Evangélica de Ceres. Resultados e discussão: Foram incluídos na revisão 5 artigos e 2 livros, que relataram os efeitos da terapia manual geral e de técnicas específicas como mobilização com movimento no ombro, SNAGs (deslizamentos apofisários sustentados naturais) e Maitland. Conclusão: A terapia manual mostrou ser eficaz na reabilitação da síndrome do impacto do ombro, apresentando diminuição da dor, aumento da força muscular, melhora da amplitude de movimento e da capacidade funcional do ombro. A técnica de mobilização com movimento mostrou maior efetividade quando aplicada diretamente ao ombro, porém SNAGs e Maitland apresentaram significativa eficácia quando aplicadas a coluna torácica.
THIRD GENERATION BIODIESEL: A POTENTIAL SUSTAINABLE ENERGY SOURCE FROM MICROALGAE
Authors: Sheetal Gadhiya  , Anjali Shukla  , Nainesh Modi
Published: May 2020

Biofuel production from renewable sources is generally considered to be one of the most sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels, and a viable means of sustainability for the environment and the economy. Because of their rapid growth rate, CO2 fixation ability and high lipid production efficiency, microalgae are currently being promoted as an ideal third generation biofuel feedstock; they also do not compete with food or feed crops, and can be grown on non-arable soil. Biofuels can be generated in combination with flue gas CO2 mitigation, wastewater treatment and high value production. Seawater can be used to achieve microalgal farming employing microalgal organisms as the source. To be a realistic option, a biofuel must have few features such as net energy gain, eco-friendly, economically efficient and implementable in large volumes without affecting resources demand. In this study we present an overview of the use of microalgae for the production of biodiesel, including its cultivation, harvesting, and processing. Further it is suggested that biodiesel is an effective renewable substitute for petroleum diesel.

Semantic Peculiarities of the Verbs with the Highest Degree of Polysemy Denoting Conflict Actions
Authors: Myhalets Oksana Ivanivna
Published: May 2020

The purpose of thе article is to conduct a lexico-semantic analysis of the language units denoting conflict actions in modern English. Our task is to find out the semantic peculiarities of the polysemantic verbs in the language under study, which form the group of words denoting conflict actions with the highest degree of polysemy. The research has been carried out with the help of the system and structural approach, based on a combination of the formalized analysis of lexical semantics with linguistic methods of research. Such a combination is necessary for revealing the system and structural organization of lexical units denoting conflict actions and their inner mechanisms of functioning in modern English. As a result, the degree of the semantic relativity of the language units denoting conflict actions as well as the character of the semes’ functionality have been revealed. In addition, both common and distinctive features, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the verbs’ semantics in the language under study have been disclosed. Complex lexico-semantic analysis of the language units denoting conflict actions in English gave the opportunity to treat them as phenomena of person’s everyday life and activities as well as to find out different ways and means of their language expressions by means of the matrix.
‘Honor’ Killings in Misogynistic Society: A Feminist Perspective
Authors: Hadi Abdul
Published: May 2020

The plight of women in Pakistan is terrible in terms of gender-based violence.  Every year more than thousand women have been killed in the name of ‘honor’. The aim of this paper is to explain the   underlying causes of the incidents of ‘honor’ killings, and find out the reason why many instances of ‘honor’ killings go unreported and the perpetrators usually able to evade punishment. This study found that the prevailing ideology of honor, a stimulus to honor killing, gender-biased, abusive, and corrupt to the core police force along with the weak judicial system and legal loopholes in existing laws are the determining factor of unabated incidents of killing under the pretext of honor. This study asserts that Pakistani government must act quickly and decisively to plug legal loopholes in order to halt the most consistent, abhorrent heinous violence from going unpunished. Furthermore, the gender bias permeates in institutions at all levels, therefore, there must be mandatory sensitivity training for both the police investigating honor crimes and the judges adjudicating over them. The authorities must ensure that police without bowing to any pressure be it political or religious impartially investigate the cases of ‘honor’ killings. This study understands that the incidents of honor killings are the manifestation of the patriarchy, therefore, aforementioned measures are critical elements but not sufficient to deal the issue of ‘honor’ killing. There is the need of transformative change in society which can occur with the reduction of gender inequality. The state of women cannot be improved unless women get economic independence, greater access to education, increase participation in political activities, and get widespread awareness of socio-economic and political issues.

Authors: Hendrawan Daniel , Dewi Emilia Fitriana , Sukarno Subiakto , Mirzanti Isti Raafaldini
Published: May 2020

The purpose of this study is to analyze the functions and authority of the director of limited liability company in applying business judgment principles, by taking comparative law studies in Singapore's common law and in Indonesia's civil law. By taking emphasis on the authority of directors in representing limited companies both in and out, there are several authorities that are regulated in it. This study was conducted with a comparative law approach, with descriptive qualitative analysis. The results showed that sometimes directors act outside their authority and can harm a limited liability company. On the other hand, that there are actions of the board of directors that are in accordance with their authority but still harm the limited liability company. In this case, the shareholders often hold accountable. In corporate law there is a principle of business judgment where a director cannot be held accountable if the directors are proven to have good faith. The difference between Singapore law and Indonesian law in regulating the authority of directors is the good faith assessment held by directors.
Choice-less Choice in the 2019 Presidential Election: Towards the Intrigues Perfected by the Electoral System in Nigeria
Authors: Okoye Kingsley E. , Ezugwuorie Chikwado , Onah Francisca
Published: May 2020

Literature on election is mostly anchored on how the voting exercise was carried out successfully or rigged in favour of one candidate over another. These scholars were only interested in analyzing the outcome of election with little or no effort to understand why electorates who cast their votes during election do not choose their leaders. While we acknowledged that vote buying, snatching of ballot boxes, intimidation, and different pattern of malpractices among others contributed to these, we equally noted that scholars have not really tried to find out why the electoral system in Nigeria could not allow candidates that would not only attract massive support but become irresistible during and after election. Therefore, what is often witnessed among presidential flag bearers in Nigeria are candidates who the electorates knew would not make significant impact if elected. As a result, make them (electorates) see voting during election as a routine exercise that must be fulfilled without enthusiasm or eagerness in carrying out such obligation. Election in this situation becomes so difficult that whoever is elected is not actually chosen by the electorates but is allowed to keep the country on track. These political parties are only interested on the radical nature of candidates who can withstand the campaign strategies leaving other areas like understanding - the political terrain of the country and having the will power to transform society against other odds. Until this issue is properly addressed and handled in the political system, voting in election will remain a mere process of choosing leaders that will neither attract peoples mandate nor sustain the democratic structures

Authors: Marjo  , Rofikoh Nanik
Published: May 2020

The development of legal relations in the economic and other civil sectors in community highly requires a faster and less costly dispute resolution process, especially in small civil disputes. In connection with this matter, Indonesian Supreme Court issued various Supreme Court regulations, including Regulation No. 2 of 2015 concerning Procedures for Completion of Small Claims. The issuance of this regulation was to resolve special civil disputes regarding the acts against the law. In a small claim court lawsuit, it is required that the plaintiff and defendant be in the same jurisdiction. The value of the material suit in a small claim lawsuit is at most IDR 200 million or equal to 13,811 USD. Furthermore, for a small claim examination and verification of a lawsuit, it is carried out in a small manner, where the period of completion is determined a maximum of 25 days from the first trial day to the decision.

Authors: Pinilih Sekar Anggun Gading
Published: May 2020

Women's participation in the electoral field is very important to be guaranteed by the state. In practice, there is often an imbalance in the number of female and male members. There needs to be a special policy to accommodate women's rights in these elections. This paper aims to examine how the legal construction in the electoral field is responsive to the right of women to participate. The method of approach used in this study is the socio-legal approach. The results found that the legal construction of gender justice-based elections to the electoral system is by increasing women's representation through the zipper system or alternating position between men and women in elections. In addition, this mechanism should be mutually agreed upon in various technical arrangements to implement this mechanism design.

Published: May 2020

The main aim of the present study concerns the analysis of the evolution of psychological distress during university counselling treatment, taking into account the initial mental health conditions of the students involved by means of standardized clinical measures. During a preliminary interview, we collected socio-demographic information, academic problems and health conditions of 110 university students who had requested psychological counselling. We applied the MMPI-2 questionnaire prior to the treatment, and we detected the evolution of distress by administering the OQ-45 scale at pre-treatment, post-treatment and 3-months follow-up. Results indicate that all OQ-45 dimensions register a statistically significative reduction during the counselling treatment. Moreover, the high correlations between the OQ-45 scale and MMPI-2 questionnaire underline the consistency of the evolution of OQ-45 scores starting from the valid initial mental health assessment carried out by the MMPI. In addition, we explored the predictive role of MMPI-2 dimensions on the OQ-45 scale: only the Psychopathic Deviation (PD) dimension appeared predictive of the positive evolution of the treatment. This is relevant considering a non-clinical sample of university students in which social maladjustment, self-alienation, and social alienation can represent a real high risk for academic success. In conclusion, data analysis shows the appropriateness of the combined use of MMPI-2 and OQ-45 questionnaires in psychological counselling in the academic setting to evaluate, firstly, the validity of the individual clinical profile and, consequently, the response to the treatment offered.
Mobilization of the Classics in Sociology
Authors: Serpa Sandro , Ferreira Carlos Miguel
Published: May 2020

The reading and understanding of the classical authors of sociology are informative of sociology as a science. However, is this centrality ascribed to social perspectives – which have been proposed in another social and historical context – the consolidation of a body of knowledge of sociology, in which there is a growing refinement of theory? What are the advantages, but also the limitations, of this valuation of the classics? In this position paper, mobilizing relevant literature to justify our argumentative stance, we seek to provide a contribution to answering these questions, as well as some implications.
The Youth of Muslim Diaspora and Identity Markers: The Crossroads of School, Religion, and Society
Authors: Essid Souheil
Published: May 2020

This study addresses the religious identification of young people from an immigrant background in the context of a sociological perspective. This study is essentially focused on young people's perceptions of their religious identities. We tried to understand the religious markers exhibited by young people attending a religious Muslim school in Canada. How do these students construct identity in the gears of religion, school, home society and parental culture? Young people are thus given the opportunity to express their identity-building perspectives. Through an ethnographic stay, the data collection took place in a private school located in Quebec, Canada. The data analysis allowed us to identify some religious identity markers developed by participants during their biographical and social paths. Participants are hence distinguished as a cultural group in a minority context. These religious markers also seem more adapted to the context of young people and more open to others

Contemporary tendencies of population development of metropolitan areas in Czechia: is an important turn coming?
Authors: Čermák Zdeněk , Hampl Martin , Müller Jan
Published: May 2020

Population development of metropolitan areas in Czechia displays in recent years a certain turn – since 2002 these territorial units have been growing again and increasing their share on the population of the country. However, when compared with the long-term development, those changes are rather insignificant. Their explanation comes mainly from the regional economic differentiation dating from the first decade of the transformation period. There is a dominant influence of international migration, whereas migration mobility of domestic population remains still at a low level.

Some approximative characteristics of classes of periodic functions of many variables L^{\psi}_{\beta, p}, 1 < p < \infty, in a uniform metric are investigated. The first part of the paper is devoted to the construction of estimates of the best orthogonal trigonometric approximations of the mentioned classes in the space L_\infty. In the second part, we have established the ordinal estimates of the orthoprojective widths of the classes L^{\psi}_{\beta, p}, 1 < p < \infty, in the same space, as well as the estimates of another approximative characteristic which is close, in a definite meaning, to the orthoprojective width.

Michael Palin's Himalaya : Potential Impact of Television Travel Diaries on Destination Image
Authors: Glover Petra
Published: May 2020

A strong academic interest in media-induced tourism has emerged in recent years with a focus on fictional movies and television programs. In contrast, few studies have evaluated audiovisual formats of factual or documentary nature, despite the increasing popularity of such television
programs with a specific travel theme. In the UK, programs resembling video diaries in which the presenter, generally a celebrity, is accompanied on an extended journey by a television crew are firmly established in the television schedule. this article examines the potential impacts of the
television travel series Himalaya presented by Michael Palin on destination image by analyzing viewers' comments on the accompanying website. the study identifies the program's positive effect on destination image and demonstrates that not only the content itself but also the way in
which the series is presented contribute to positive attitudes towards the places shown. the presenter's persona enhances the viewers' perceived connectedness with the program and contributes to destination awareness and positive destination perceptions. Clearly, a focus on program content
alone is insufficient when analyzing the impact of such television programs on destination image. Given the exploratory nature of the study, areas of further research are suggested.
Didaktisko spēļu izmantošana latviešu valodas gramatikas mācības

Authors: Kuzņecova Jūlija , Lezina Olga
Published: May 2020

This article underlines the importance of learning grammatical rules of the Latvian language for Latvian as a second or foreign language. In fact, grammar is one of the four components of communicative competence: linguistic, sociolinguistic, discourse, and strategic competence. Aside from rules and tables, there are more effective and engaging ways to teach and learn grammar. One of them is through educational games. When language learners can apply grammar and use it in a fun way, there is a better chance that they will retain it all. They will be able to practice and internalize grammar phenomena extensively rather than just learning a collection of rules superficially.
Not all games can be considered educational. It is important to recognize the purpose of a grammar game.
The authors propose to consider several principles that can foster effective learning and improve student outcomes when teaching Latvian grammar to non-native speakers (both language minorities as well as foreigners):
- consider the influence of students’ mother tongue,
- offer wide selection of contemporary spoken grammar and vocabulary,
- teach phases instead or separate words,
- consider different learning styles to aid student learning (Auditory, Visual, and Kinesthetic Learning Styles),
- utilize (or adopt) speech therapy methods.
The authors present educational games for teaching such Latvian grammar phenomena as noun-adjective agreement, verb conjugation, use of prepositions, forming the comparative degree of adjectives, and more.
Grammar games for learning English do not only motivate, they also promote the idea of competition, thus increasing learner attention, memory, as well as speaking, listening and cooperation skills.
Games are beneficial for any age groups. They can be used with young learners who study Latvian as their first language, as well as Latvian as a second or foreign language students learning Latvian in preschools, schools and other educational institutions.
The process of language acquisition starts in the first year of a child’s life and, in some cases, continues through their lifetime. The first language or native language, also known as a mother tongue, is the language children learn first from their parents. In the modern world, it is common that a person’s first language differs from the official language of their homeland. Under the circumstances, children must acquire two languages in the very first years of their lives. The representatives of ethnic minorities in Latvia study Latvian as a second language. This means that Latvian is not their first language; it is the official language of the state, the compulsory language to study. Latvian as a second language is being taught in minority-language schools across Latvia.
It was traditionally believed that there is a prominent difference between second language acquisition and foreign language learning process. Therefore, different teaching principles and methods are applied. But in recent years, these fields have come closer together.

Language is the most important instrument of communication that permits to express thoughts, feelings, sensations, desires and needs and to describe and comprehend emotions. Music without words can evoke strong emotional reactions by directly affecting emotional centres in the brain. Playing of music instrument or even listening to music can create neuroplastic changes in brain by activating compensatory mechanisms. Whereas during the listening to the music that is pleasant and preferred by the client, dopamine is released which is necessary for creating new neuron connections in the brain. Music therapy provides possibilities of effective treatment, the decrement of complications and disorders, as well as learning and recovering of skills for both children and adults with various speech and language disorders.
In Latvia the integrative eclectic approach is being developed in music therapy. It permits to apply both creative music therapy methods and techniques and receptive techniques that are based on listening to music. For children with speech and language disorders more suitable are creative music therapy techniques that facilitate the awareness of oneself and one’s resources, the improvement of interaction, cooperation and communication skills, emotional expressions and control, the development of the speech motor system and the improvement of language skills.
Music therapy is one of the few treatment possibilities that includes simultaneous work on improving motor skills and recognition of emotional difficulties and their solving. It is essential for patients that stutter to get help in correcting along with the psychological and emotional support and help. For patients after a stroke and with aphasia of various origins recommended and effective for recovering and improving speech and language skills are Melodic intonation therapy, SIPARI®, listening to music, as well as playing music in both individual and group therapies. Playing music as multisensory activity which activates and connects such areas and systems in the brain that normally are not working together. Therefore, it can stimulate the overtaking of the lost skills by non-damaged brain parts and restores speech and language skills.

There have been obtained Nusselt criterion dependencies in circular and flat pipes, which shows that corresponding equations allow defining the heat transfer intensity for all fluids with appropriate accuracy. As well there has been studied Prandtl criterion for fluids, which plays an important role in points spacing as regard to the curve. In each case the lines are with a tip 1/3, as in the research herein only the laminar conditions have been considered. The article herein considers the pilot tests based on tubular solar collectors with an absorbing shield. The aim of the experiment thereof is the research of thermal properties of tubular solar collector for producing hot water.
Correlation Study on Operation of the Wet FGD System and Incomplete Coal Combustion
Authors: Anghelescu Lucica , Diaconu Bogdan , Cruceru Mihai , Șerban George
Published: May 2020

A Wet Flue Gas Desulfurization (WFGD) system operating at thermal power plant Rovinari (Romania), was considered in this study in an attempt to establish mutual or uni-directional influences between the performance of the sulphur removal process and the quality of the combustion process. Although in theory the WFGD system operates automatically with parameters controlled in such way that optimum removal efficiency is obtained, some parameters cannot be fully controlled, especially those that could not be anticipated at the design of the WFGD system. Sulphur removal systems are customizable to some extent but cannot provide an optimum solution for any plant, given the large range of differences between various plants. Coal quality is such a parameter, for which a large range of values and high standard deviation exists. Incomplete combustion is a serious issue caused by low coal quality resulting in significant losses. Briefly, incomplete combustion process is equivalent to coal that is injected in the furnace but does not undergo combustion or undergoes a partial combustion, being eventually evacuated from the boiler. This study attempts to identify quantitative and qualitative influence of incomplete combustion on the operation of the FGD system
Discrete-Time Networked Dynamic Systems
Authors: Mahmoud Magdi S.
Published: May 2020

In this paper, we provides a general framework for the analysis of a class of linear discrete-time networked dynamic systems (DNDS). We focus our attention on DNDS where the underlying connection topology couples the agents at their outputs. A distinction is made between DNDS with homogeneous agent dynamics and DNDS with heterogeneous agent dynamics. It is emphasized that developing efficient solution methods for the design of such systems involve connecting and interpreting results from graph theory and convex optimization in a systems-theoretic context

Published: May 2020

Income from the tax sector is generally the main income for all countries in the world in order to finance its activities. Increased revenue from the tax sector is often hampered, due to the large tax evasion and tax avoidance activities. Tax evasion and tax avoidance practices are triggered by the practice of low tax rates and other facilities provided by the tax heaven countries. In order to combat tax evasion and tax avoidance, the approach taken by each country is different. But basically approach done can be distinguished on soft apporach and hard approach. One approach that is classified as a soft approach is a tax amnesty program. In 2016 the Government of Indonesia is implementing a tax amnesty program based on Law Number 11 of 2016 concerning Tax Amnesty applied from 1 July 2016 to 31 March 2017. This paper will evaluate the successful implementation of the tax amnesty program that has been implemented in Indonesia. Evaluation is based on the achievement of 3 objectives, namely the repatriation of assets from abroad, expansion of the tax base and increase in tax revenue for the short and long term. From the point of asset repatriation, the tax amnesty program is considered quite successful, because although the target of asset repatriation is not achieved, but the asset repatriation has reached 30.54% of the estimated financial assets abroad. From the point of view of the expansion of the tax base, the number of declarations and repatriation reaches Rp. 4,737.56 trillion has exceeded the target. Meanwhile, from the point of view of increasing short-term tax revenues, the objective of the amnesty program can be considered quite successful, because it contributes 10.15% to the average amount of tax revenue in 2016 and 2017, although it has not been able to raise the growth rate of overall tax revenue for the year 2016 and 2017. Increased tax revenues for the long term can not be evaluated, because the tax amnesty program was completed 1 year ago.

Authors: Dewi Liliana , Handoko Evan Huttama
Published: May 2020

Usaha Makmur Jaya has conducted various promotional activities such as direct promotion, advertisement, and exhibition to strengthen Naturalz brand. But in fact, Usaha Makmur Jaya is experiencing low sales due to lack of brand awareness on Naturalz car perfume. Usaha Makmur Jaya needs to evaluate promotional activities that can support brand awareness at Usaha Makmur Jaya. In addition to increasing brand awareness, Usaha Makmur Jaya must strengthen their brand in the market, so consumers always make Naturalz as their primary choice for car perfume, so that in the end can increase sales of the company. The purpose of this study is to evaluate promotional activities at Usaha Makmur Jaya. This research type is qualitative with semi structured interview method with 4 informant that is consumer of business of Makmur Jaya, marketing expert, and business associate of Business Makmur Jaya and also documentation in collecting data. The results of this study indicate that the factors that can increase the brand awareness of Makmur Jaya  Enterprises, strengthen the Naturalz brand, and increase sales of Makmur Jaya Enterprises is by creating the right advertisement, increasing the Reseller of Makmur Jaya Business, stabilizing the price of Naturalz, following the exhibition with automotive, and doing sales promotion activities.

Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises play an important role in national economic development in many countries around the world. Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises have a large contribution to GDP (Gross Domestic Product), the supply of employment and exports of a country. Although it has a large contribution to the national economy, the contribution of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises to the state income from the tax sector is very small. There is a tendency for voluntary tax compliance from micro, small and medium- sized enterprises to be very low. This research aims to study the level of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises of tax compliance in East Java, Indonesia. To measure the level of tax compliance, 3 indicators are used, namely the ownership of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), compliance with paying Income Tax and compliance to fill out and report the Annual Income Tax Return. The results showed that the level of tax compliance in micro, small and medium enterprises in East Java, Indonesia was still very low. Micro, small and medium-sized who have a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) is only 37.80%, those who pay Income Tax are only 21.95% and those who fill and report Annual Income Tax Returns of only 18,29%.
Analisis Manajemen Risiko Pada Perusahaan Perbankan Yang Go Public
Authors: Yoseph Y. F. Deograsias
Published: May 2020

The expanding banking growth is followed by the increasing number of risks that must be faced by banks. Along with the external conditions of the banking sector which  were  increasingly  troubled  by  the  threatening  risks,  Bank  Indonesia required each bank to have an integrated risk management system. To minimize this risk, Basel II is applied to improve the standards for banks that go public in order to manage risk management properly.  As a financial intermediary, the implementation of risk management is very important for banks to reduce losses. Maximum risk management for banks can ensure banks will survive destruction if a  bad  situation  occurs.  With  the  increasingly  complex  risks  in  the  banking industry, Good Corporate Governance practices are needed. These efforts are carried out to avoid a banking crisis in the future.
A AUSÊNCIA DO NEGRO E DA TEMÁTICA “ESCRAVIDÃO” NA LITERATURA SOBRE A VELHA CANUDOS
Authors: Ribeiro Soares Nascimento Dulcilene , Dantas Lima Júnior Oswaldo
Published: May 2020

Este artigo reflete os motivos da ausência dos negros escravos enquanto categoria étnica na literatura acerca da região de Canudos,  esde seu povoamento, até sua queda. Amparado basicamente em depoimentos de filhos e netos dos contemporâneos à  uerra, tendo em vista principalmente a dificuldade em obter documentação pertinente ao tema o que caracteriza historicamente e  arcialmente os motivos para essa suposta ausência literária que nada mais retrata que o ponto de vista racialista presente à época.  sse texto, não possui maiores rigores metodológicos e baseou-se nos pressupostos da História Oral, porém buscou fidelidade aos depoimentos recolhidos de maneira deveras informal, baseando-se, porém, em autores que remontam à época e críticos atuais das  emandas étnicas e raciais no Brasil.
MATHEMATICAL THEORY OF NORMAL WAVES IN AN OPEN METAL-DIELECTRIC REGULAR WAVEGUIDE OF ARBITRARY CROSS SECTION
Authors: Smolkin Eugene , Smirnov Yury
Published: May 2020

The problem of normal waves in an open metal-dielectric regular waveguide of
arbitrary cross-section is considered. This problem is reduced to the boundary eigenvalue problem for
longitudinal components of electromagnetic field in Sobolev spaces. To find the solution, we use the
variational formulation of the problem. The variational problem is reduced to study of an operator-function.
Discreteness of the spectrum is proved and distribution of the characteristic numbers of the operatorfunction
on the complex plane is found.
CONSTANT SIGN AND NODAL SOLUTIONS FOR NONLINEAR ROBIN EQUATIONS WITH LOCALLY DEFINED SOURCE TERM
Authors: Papageorgiou Nikolaos S. , Vetro Calogero , Vetro Francesca
Published: May 2020

We consider a parametric Robin problem driven by a nonlinear, nonhomogeneous differential
operator which includes as special cases the p-Laplacian and the (p,q)-Laplacian. The source term is parametric
and only locally defined (that is, in a neighborhood of zero). Using suitable cut-off techniques together with
variational tools and comparison principles, we show that for all big values of the parameter, the problem has
at least three nontrivial smooth solutions, all with sign information (positive, negative and nodal).
Standing Kink Waves in Sigmoid Solar Coronal Loops: Implications for Coronal Seismology
Authors: Magyar N. , Nakariakov V. M.
Published: May 2020

Using full three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic numerical simulations, we study the effects of magnetic field sigmoidity or helicity on the properties of the fundamental kink oscillation of solar coronal loops. Our model consists of a single denser coronal loop, embedded in a plasma with dipolar force-free magnetic field with a constant α-parameter. For the loop with no sigmoidity, we find that the numerically determined oscillation period of the fundamental kink mode matches the theoretical period calculated using WKB theory. In contrast, with increasing sigmoidity of the loop, the actual period is increasingly smaller than the one estimated by WKB theory. Translated through coronal seismology, increasing sigmoidity results in magnetic field estimates that are increasingly shifting toward higher values, and even surpassing the average value for the highest α value considered. Nevertheless, the estimated range of the coronal magnetic field value lies within the minimal/maximal limits, proving the robustness coronal seismology. We propose that the discrepancy in the estimations of the absolute value of the force-free magnetic field could be exploited seismologically to determine the free energy of coronal loops, if averages of the internal magnetic field and density can be reliably estimated by other methods.
