Published: July 2018

The article is dedicated to the questions of cooperation between Russia and Ecuador in the areas of agriculture and agrarian education. The perspectives of cooperation are deeply connected with trade-economic relations. Economics of Ecuador is characterized by positive dynamics. In world list of competitiveness Ecuador is on 71-st place between 148 countries. GDP in 2012 is 84,5 billion USD. The main subjects of bilateral trade between Russia and Ecuador are bananas and cut flowers, some of Russian importers have their own banana plantations in Ecuador. Import from Russia consists of iron, steel, electric medical equipment, parts for cars, paper, fertilizers. Russian People’s Friendship University (RUDN) is unique to have lots of connections with graduates in Ecuador, that will foster cooperation in agriculture and agrarian education. Totally RUDN educated over 5000 specialists for 29 Latin American countries, 550 — for Ecuador. In 2012 during the visit of RUDN’s delegation the Working Program between RUDN and Agrarian University of Ecuador for years 2013-2018 was developed. Nowadays the bachelo’sr and specialist’s educational programs are developed at agrarian universities, faculties of technical and political universities. Nevertheless the post-diploma programs are not enough, but according to new law on education universities of Ecuador have to enlarge number of professors who have Maer and PhD level. Actual educational reform in both countries give challenge to find new mutual projects to improve competitiveness on global markets.

Published: July 2018

The methods of constructing a quadratic polygon and a circle of standards with internal eccentricity are considered for assessing the accuracy of geodetic notches with any combination of angular and linear equal or unequal measurements. Formulae based on the values of the perimeter and closing of such a polygon are derived. Using these formulas, it is possible to determine the mean square errors of a point simultaneously along any two mutually normal directions and the correlation coefficient between them, the eigenvalues of the covariance matrices, the number of conditionality of the matrix, its trace, determinant and cofactor. Based on the values of the perimeter and the closing quadratic polygon only, you can find almost any scalar accuracy estimates in the form of radii- Vectors, areas and other characteristics of various geometric shapes, such as a circle, ellipse, saddle, and to formulate different conditions for the A-, D-, E-, and I-optimization of serifs in a new way.

Published: July 2018

Este artículo plantea una reflexión acerca de la fotografía ―o lo fotográfico― (Dubois, 2015), como una experiencia transformadora del ser y como medio de expresión significativa de la realidad. El trabajo se ubica en el marco de una investigación sobre un

proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje con aplicación de la didáctica reflexiva con estudiantes de primer semestre de comunicación audiovisual. En un primer momento la investigación procura un diagnóstico de las percepciones y conocimientos previos de los estudiantes por medio del relato autobiográfico. El resultado son los vasos comunicantes que se pueden establecer entre las experiencias que los estudiantes expresan en sus relatos, mi propia experiencia y algunos conceptos teóricos relacionados con lo que Susan Sontag (2006) plantea como el problema de la realidad en la fotografía. Un primer paso propuesto por Sontag frente la comprensión del proceso de lectura del mundo por medio de la creación de un ensayo fotográfico en tanto experiencia de aprendizaje significativo, con una visión humanista de la educación (Hernández, 1998).
The Equilibrium Relationships between Performance-Based Pay, Performance, and the Commission and Detection of Fraudulent Misreporting
Authors: Qiu Buhui , Slezak Steve L.
Published: July 2018

We develop an agency model in which managerial information manipulation creates pooling and entails ex post costs internal and/or external to the firm. We examine the implications of the strategic interactions between shareholders (who set internal governance and managerial incentive compensation), the manager (who exerts effort and reports on its outcome), and an external regulatory authority or RA (who investigates for fraud and levies penalties ex post). When the RA cannot pre-commit to an ex post investigation strategy, a fraudulent equilibrium obtains if the firm's internal governance costs are sufficiently high. Consistent with (so far fairly scant) post-SOX empirical evidence, but the opposite of the implications of signal-jamming models and equilibria with pre-commitment, the model implies an increase in minimum internal governance standards or ex post fraud penalties (as with SOX) results in decreased equilibrium pay-for-performance sensitivity and firm performance.
Biased Boards
Authors: Baldenius Tim , Meng Xiaojing , Qiu Lin
Published: July 2018

We study a corporate board tasked with monitoring a firm's CEO and providing incrementally decision-relevant information. The board has both compensation and non-pecuniary incentives—we label the latter board bias. Friendly boards have muted information gathering incentives, but can more effectively engage in cheap talk communication with management. As a result, the direction of the optimal board bias is determined by the CEO's initial information advantage: the board should be weakly friendly if the CEO is endowed with precise information, and weakly antagonistic (to the CEO) otherwise. Aside from assembling a friendly board, another way for shareholders to foster CEO/board communication is by granting the CEO more equity. In general, we find board friendliness and CEO equity grants to be positively associated, in equilibrium. This provides an optimal contracting rationale for an empirical regularity often interpreted as friendly boards facilitating rent extraction.
A Brief Analysis on Why the National Initiatives are Inevitably Insufficient to Curb Multinational Corporations
Authors: ÖZYÜREK Mehmet
Published: July 2018

Corporations have been named as the key economic
actors in the globalised world. Most countries find themselves dominated by major multinational corporations.
Even though corporations create many positive outcomes for
national economies, they possess a myriad of negative impact on people,
especially on employees. Yet, it is not easy to reduce this negative impact via
traditional/national regulatory strategies since many such corporations carry out their operations,
either directly, or indirectly, through their subsidiaries, doing so across
several countries, whilst others conduct their operations in the midst of
complex supply chains that are located beyond national borders.
This situation makes corporations transnational actors that may not be curbed
by any single domestic regulation. However, why do
not individual states regulate such companies sufficiently in their own country
through the patchwork of domestic regulations? The following paper shall
briefly examine why national governments are reluctant to play an active role in
terms of corporate regulation.
15 Temmuz filmlerinde milliyetçiliğin sunumu: “Cumhurbaşkanlığı 15 Temmuz Belgeseli” örneği

Published: July 2018

Milliyetçilik anlayışının, özünde ortak dil, tarih, duygu, gelenek, görenek
ve coğrafya birliğine dayanarak bir ‘kültür hareketi’ olarak değerlendirilmesiyle
birlikte, milliyetçilik devletlerin toplumu birleştirme ve bütünleştirme için
kullandığı bir ideoloji haline gelmiştir. Bu anlayışa göre ırk değil,
vatandaşlık bağı ve ortak yaşayış esas alınmaktadır. Nitekim Türkiye
Cumhuriyeti’nin kuruluşu da böylesi bir düşüncenin bir sonucu olarak
gerçekleşmiştir. Türk milletinin, çeşitli milliyetçi ögeler etrafından birlik
ve bütünlük halinde hareket etiği örneklerden biri de 15 Temmuz darbe girişimi
olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, darbe girişiminin başarısızlıkla sonuçlanmasının
ardından, demokratik sisteme ve ülkenin birlik ve bütünlüğüne vurgu yapmak
amacıyla hazırlanan 15 Temmuz filmlerinde, milliyetçi ögelerin nasıl ve ne

Additional Transmissions of Hundsfeld and Lignitzer Dagger Teachings
Authors: Walczak Bartłomiej , Starko Bartosz
Published: July 2018

Additional witnesses containing fragments of Martin Hundsfeld and Andre Lignitzer’s dagger teachings were located. These teachings were part of other anonymous dagger texts. Five of Lignitzer’s plays and three Hundsfeld’s can be found in the works of Gregor Erhart (MS E.1939.65.354), Lienhart Sollinger (Cgm 3712) and Paulus Hector Mair (C.94, Codex 10825). A synoptic comparison of these witnesses with other representatives points to the existence of at least two other manuscripts – one that was base for Erhart and Sollinger, and the other being the base for Paulus Hector Mair’s works. Additionally, the analysis seems to suggest that the Proto-Erhart was based on the original proto-manuscript, not transmitted through other known sources. Interestingly, Erhart seems to be a faithful copy of its progenitor, even though it contains a very disorganized text, where dagger techniques are mixed with other weapons. The article contains transcriptions as well as updated stemmae codicum for these traditions.
Fiscal federalism and a separate budget for the euro area
Authors: Oręziak Leokadia
Published: July 2018

The core objective of this paper is to determine the main political and economic conditions and challenges related to the possible evolution of the integration process in the euro area toward fiscal federalism and fiscal union as a way to increase the capacity of the area to cope with future economic and financial crises. The issue of a separate budget for this area is of particular interest in this article. The idea of such a budget has recently become the subject of lively public debate in the European Union and has been a factor in encouraging the European Commission to propose new solutions at the end of 2017 in the field of economic governance of the euro area, including the establishment of a European Monetary Fund. The analysis carried out in this article leads to the conclusion that under the current conditions, there is little chance of introducing such regulatory and institutional changes that would significantly increase the scale of financial transfers between the euro area member states.
Mathematical Algorithm for Processing Measurement Results of Internet Access Service in the Scope of Net Neutrality
Authors: Smirnova I. , Lipenbergs E. , Bobrovs V.
Published: July 2018

Since Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 of the European Parliament and of the Council came into force, Internet service providers have to fulfill various additional requirements in order to guarantee access to the open internet and provide transparent information to the end-users. Of the utmost importance is to ensure achievable, meaningful and comparable results of the internet quality indicators, particularly upload and download speed values. Regulation (EU) 2015/2120 stipulates that specific speeds should be indicated in the contracts: for fixed internet access service those are maximum, minimum, normally available and advertised speed and for mobile internet access service – estimated maximum and advertised speed. However, there are no common methods put in place to calculate required speed indicators that can lead to a large amount of noncomparable and unreviewable information and create difficulties for internet providers to describe quality indicators. Within the framework of the present research, a mathematical estimation algorithm has been elaborated and applied in order to ensure that required quality parameters are represented objectively and that they are intercomparable among different internet service providers. Unified calculation principle would foster end-user awareness of the meaning of quality indicators and also of the quality of received internet services. It would also facilitate the indication of the required information for internet service providers.

Published: July 2018

A novel 9, 10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) graft γ-amino propyl triethoxy silane (KH550) was synthesized and introduced on the surface of wood fiber. Finally DOPO-g-KH550 treated wood fiber (DKTWF) was used to prepare DKTWF composite phenolic foams (DKTWFCPF). The structures of DOPO-g- KH550 was acknowledged by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR). The structures of DKTWF were confirmed by FT-IR. Compared with wood fiber, the diffraction peaks’ position was basically unchanged, but the crystallinity was slightly increased and thermal stability were dramatically improved, T5% and Tmax increased by 21.9o and 36.1o respectively. But the char yield (800o) was slightly reduced. With the dosage of DKWF, there were different degrees of improvement including the mechanical properties, flame retardancy and microstructure of DKTWFCPF. Comprehensive analysis, the interfacial compatibility was significantly improved between DKTWF and phenolic resin, and the suitable content of DKTWF was 4%.
Production of (R)-styrene oxide by recombinant whole-cell biocatalyst in aqueous and biphasic system
Authors: Xue Feng , Gao Jian
Published: July 2018

The enantioselective resolution of racemic styrene oxide (rac-SO) to (R)-SO by whole cells of a recombinant Escherichia coli expressing epoxide hydrolase (EH) activity in aqueous and biphasic system were studied. Some parameters that may alter this bio-resolution, such as the concentration of recombinant cell, substrate and product were evaluated. The effect of the addition of different additives on the course of rac-SO biotransformation was also investigated. The results showed that the yield and the enantiomeric excess (ee) of (R)-SO were dependent on these variables. When the kinetic resolution was conducted with 350 mM of rac-SO, enantiopure (R)-SO with high (≥99%) ee was obtained with a yield of 38.2% yield at 12.2 h in the presence of 10% (v/v) Tween 80. An isooctane/aqueous system was developed to overcome the adverse factors in the aqueous phase, resulting in an improvement of yield from 38.2% to 42.9%. The results will provide a useful guidance for further application of this enzyme in the biocatalytic production of chiral synthons.

Published: July 2018

A class of very important industrial-grade biolubricants was synthesized from plant-derived fatty acids (oleic and isostearic acid) by direct esterification of trimethylolpropane according to novel effective and high selective method using Sn bis(2-ethylhexanoate) as catalyst. Model transesterification reactions were performed with oleic and isostearic acids to optimize the reaction conditions to obtain maximum content of TMP triesters. Used specific homogeneous Sn catalyst allows to obtain TMP esters with very high content of triesters, above of 94 wt% without deep vacuum purifying distillation. Both TMP esters were evaluated for their physicochemical and tribological properties using ASTM standards. Both TMP esters exhibited high viscosity indexes and excellent low temperature properties.
Removal of Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution using complexation-ultrafiltration
Authors: Şahin Deniz , Tascıoglu Senay
Published: July 2018

Ligand-modified micellar-enhanced ultrafiltration (LM-MEUF) is a membrane technique based on a separation process which can be used for removal of target metals from an aqueous solution. This method involves adding both a metal complexing ligand and surfactant molecule to the aqueous solution under conditions where most of the molecules are present as micelles. This ligand can be attached to the surface of micelles by solubilization and forms the ligand complexes with the metal ion. The aqueous solution is then treated through a membrane which has to be smaller pore sizes than those of the complexes. Hence, permeate water is then purified from the heavy metals. In this study, divalent lead is the target ion in a solution. Filtration experiments were performed with ultrafiltration membrane system, equipped with a regenerated cellulose membrane with a 5000 Daltons cutoff. The pressure was fixed at 4.0 bar with a permeate flow rate of 500 mL min−1. Complexes of Pb2+ ions with three ligands were investigated in micellar medium of different surfactants at different pH values to determine the ligands which could provide separation. Different parameters affecting the percentage rejection of the Pb2+, such as pH and surfactant concentration were also discussed. Results have shown that the maximum percentage of the Pb2+ ions rejection were obtained using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a surfactant and dithizone (DZ) as the lead-specific ligand. A waste stream sample from a battery plant was subjected to LM-MEUF process in the optimum conditions determined in this study and it was shown that Pb2+ ions in a waste stream could be removed by LM-MEUF effectively.

To increase the currently limited knowledge addressing acanthocephalans parasitizing California sea lions (Zalophus californianus), 33 animals including pups, juvenile and adult males and females from the Marine Mammal Center (TMMC), Sausalito, California, USA were examined. Totally, 2,268 specimens of acanthocephalans representing five species from the genera Andracantha (A. phalacrocoracis and Andracantha sp.), Corynosoma (C. strumosum and C. obtuscens) and Profilicollis (P. altmani) were found. Profilicollis altmani and A. phalacrocoracis, predominantly parasitize fish-eating birds; they were registered in Z. californianus for the first time. Prevalence and intensity of California sea lion infection and transmission of acanthocephalans in these hosts of different age groups were analyzed and discussed. We provide brief morphological descriptions of the five species of acanthocephalan found in California sea lions.
Microhabitat Preferences of two Sympatric Lacertid in the National Park of El Kala, Algeria
Authors: Rouag Rachid , Ziane Nadia , Benyacoub Slim
Published: July 2018

Habitat preferences were studied in sympatric populations of two Lacertids, Psammodromus algirus and Acanthodactylus erythrurus (Lacertidae) from the National Park of El Kala (north-eastern Algeria). The relationship between habitat physical structure and population densities was studied in order to establish eventual segregation between the two lizards. A difference exists between the two species in their distributions. Acanthodactylus erythrurus is a strictly terrestrial species, usually found on sandy and more open grounds than Psammodromus algirus which can penetrate dense vegetation and look for sunny locations by climbing on shrubs; a behavior which A. erythrurus does not control. Our results confirm spatial segregation on a microhabitat scale, supporting the conclusions that microhabitat selection is an important factor in lizards community organization and contributing to reduce potential competition.

Investigating the Impact of Greek EFL Teachers Participation in Online Communities of Practice as a Means of Professional Development
Authors: Kourkouli Katerina
Published: July 2018

This paper examines EFL teachers participation in online Communities of Practice (CoPs) and its impact on their professional development. The study focuses on 50 EFL teachers who became members of CoPs using an online platform named 2gather developed by the University of Athens in the context of a national in-service professional development project in Greece. Founded on the theory of situated learning, CoPs have been defined as groups of people who share a concern, a set of problems, or a passion about a topic, and who deepen their knowledge and expertise in this area by interacting on an ongoing basis (Wenger et al., 2002). The study involved monitoring the development of four CoPs and teachers patterns of participation using a mixed-methods approach which combined quantitative data and qualitative research of collective case studies (Dornyei, 2007) of different groups of teachers. A comparison of teachers exposure to meaningful professional development (Franke et al., 2001) activities before and after their participation in the CoPs was carried out. In addition, results suggest the existence of statistically significant associations between the teachers participation in online CoPs and perceived benefit and change of their beliefs and/or practices. They also highlight the specific conditions that have supported their reflection, their reported reconstruction of beliefs and practices and the reported effectiveness of their training experience in relation to their teaching practice. The findings contribute to furthering our understanding of effective implementation of online CoPs in the context of continuing professional development.

This paper is devoted to study of organizational policy towards the impact of quality of work life on employeeengagement. It is important to investigate the factors of organizational policy that have impart to influence qualityof work life on employee engagement antecedent variables directly and indirect through organizational policyrole. The practice in the past by organizations was for the management level staff to formulate policy for thesmooth running of the organizations. While this approach is working in its own way, it is equally important toconsider a novel idea of involving all employee staff in policy formulation or in the reviewing of the existing policy.Against this backdrop, this study presents findings of the three variables: organizational policy, quality of worklife and employee engagement This study tends to investigate how organizational policy (OP) can have influenceon employee Quality Work Life (QWL) on Employee Engagement (EE). Linkage between these three factorswill be established and various levels of each of the factors will also be identified. In the paper, four major stagesof organizational policy are identified namely: the policy formulation, adoption, implementation and evaluation.Policy formulation is normally embedded in the minds of individuals and it is difficult to capture or communicateto others.

How Can Social Media Be Helpful for Immigrants to Integrate Society in the US
Authors: Erdem Bora
Published: July 2018

With an increase in diversity in the society, the United States has been faced with the challenge of how to integrate its immigrants in the American communities. Different researches have shown that social media has a significant role in the integration of these immigrants. However, that which has been missing in such studies encompasses the conceptual frameworks for understanding the existing interplay between the utilization of social media and, on the other hand, integration. The results of this research point out that social media has a significant relevance in the participation of immigrants in acquiring language, cultural competencies and bridging social capital. Based on these results, therefore, an analysis of immigrant integration in American by using social media has been demonstrated in the paper.

Abstrak Sebagai salah satu sekolah yang menerapkan kurikulum 2013, SMAN 1 Sigli dituntut mampu menggunakan IT dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar peserta didik. Hal ini merupakan hambatan dalam implementasi kurikulum 2013 di SMAN 1 Sigli, maka perlu menerapkan IT dalam model pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh model PBL berbantuan IT terhadap hasil belajar peserta didik pada materi fluida statis di SMAN 1 Sigli. Metode quasi experiment dengan pretest posttest, control group design yang dilaksanakan di SMAN 1 Sigli tahun pelajaran 2016/2017. Pemilihan sampel dengan teknik random sampling, memilih 2 (dua) dari 5 (lima) kelas yang terdapat di SMAN 1 Sigli. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan soal tes untuk melihat pengaruh model PBL berbantuan IT terhadap hasil belajar peserta didik pada materi fluida statis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hasil belajar peserta didik mencapai 85% kategori tinggi pada kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol hanya 65%, hasil pengujian hipotesis didapat thitung > ttabel yaitu 2,61 > 1,68. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat pengaruh model PBL berbantuan IT dalam pembelajaran fisika terhadap hasil belajar peserta didik pada materi fluida statis di SMAN 1 Sigli. Model PBL berbantuan IT dapat diterapkan dalam pembelajaran untuk membuat peserta didik lebih aktif, namun terdapat kelemahan pada kegiatan merumuskan masalah dan berhipotesis. Kata Kunci: PBL berbantuan IT; fluida; hasil belajar. Abstract As one of the schools implementing the 2013 curriculum, SMAN 1 Sigli is required to use IT in improving learners' learning outcomes. This is an obstacle in the implementation of the 2013 curriculum in SMAN 1 Sigli, it is necessary to apply IT in the learning model. This study aims to determine the effect of IT assisted PBL model on student learning outcomes on static fluid material at SMAN 1 Sigli. Quasi experimental method with pretest posttest, control group design implemented in SMAN 1 Sigli in academic year 2016/2017. Selection of sample by random sampling technique, choose 2 (two) from 5 (five) class which is in SMAN 1 Sigli. The data was collected using test questions to see the effect of IT assisted PBL model on students' learning outcomes on static fluid materials. The result of the research shows that the students' learning achievement reaches 85% high category in the experimental class and the control class is only 65%, the result of hypothesis testing is tcount> ttable is 2.61> 1.68. Based on the result of this research, it can be concluded that there is influence of IT assisted PBL model in physics learning toward student learning outcomes on static fluid material at SMAN 1 Sigli. IT-assisted PBL models can be applied in learning to make learners more active, but there are weaknesses in problem-forming and hypothesizing activities. Keywords: IT assisted PBL; fluida; learning outcomes.
