Authors: Demong Nur Atiqah Rochin , Kassim Erne Suzila , Shahrom Melissa , Mohamad Yunus Noor'ain , Abdul Kader Jailani Sri Fatiany
Published: March 2019

Street market is considered as an informal business activity. Some of the famous street markets are Bangkokâ€™s Chatuchak Weekend Market, Souks of Marrakesh, Taipeiâ€™s Shilin Street market and Barcelonaâ€™s La Boqueria (Momondo, 2013). Street market stalls and trucks can be found almost everywhere either in housing as well as commercial areas approved by local authorities. One of the Malaysian initiatives in promoting for a well-balanced retail and micro-enterprise ecosystem is by transforming the street markets distribution and operation via the Malaysian NKEA (National Key Economic Area) (Kemubu Agriculture Development Authorithy, 2018). Stakeholders of street market includes of street vendor (seller), customer (buyer) and local authorities.  The findings of the interviews with the respective local council, and street market vendors and customers showed that price non-standardization, service quality, product preference, infrastructure, convenience and accessibility and sellersâ€™ resistance to change are the key issues. In addition, the street markets could be considered as business incubators for aspiring entrepreneurs since they would need to put in a very small investment to start the business, the risk of failure was minimal, and there was the opportunity to earn a hefty income (Salleh, Yaakub, Yunus, & Wan Sulong, 2012).

Published: March 2019

The aim of the study is to examine the significant factors that influence the going public decision of IPOs in Pakistan during hot issue market. The study fisrtly identified the hot and cold issue periods in Pakistan by using volume based method. The study secondly examined the imapct of firm level, industry level and country level factors on going public decision in Pakistan. The study thirdly explored whether and going public theories are pertient to Pakistan. The analysis of all non-financial firms listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) was conducted from the period of 2000 to 2015. This study utilized the volume and initial returns-based method to identify the hot and cold issue markets. The logit regression model is used to examine the significant determinants of going public decision during hot issue market. The result indicated that the largest number of IPOs per year were issued around the year 2003-2005, 2007 and 2014-2015 trailed by the inflated underpricing, known as hot issue market. Nevertheless, the periods between 2000-2002, 2006, 2008-2013 are declared as cold issue market, where less number of IPOs and underprcing is observed. The result further shows that the industry condition along with firm-level, and country level factors played an important role in determining firmâ€™s going public decision during hot issue market. The findings of this study strongly supported the conventional wisdom of signaling, changing risk composition, information spill-over, and capital demand hypothesis. The findings of the study is consistent with previous literature (Alim et al., 2017; Shehzad Khan, 2017; Khan et al., 2016; Khan et al., 2014; Benveniste et al., 2002).

Published: March 2019

Taxpayer compliance can be influenced by internal factors and external factors. Internal factors are factors that originate from within the taxpayer themselves and relate to individual characteristics that trigger the implementation of tax obligations. External factors are factors that come from outside of the taxpayer, such as the situation and circumstances surrounding the taxpayer. This study proposed the influence of internal factors and external factors on tax compliance. There are 2 hypotheses tested and the results show that business characteristics and owner characteristics have no significant effect on tax compliance in SME, Padang, Indonesia.

Authors: Ismail Alice Sabrina , Ahmad@Taufik Fadhlina , Abdul Aziz Nurul Syaheera
Published: March 2019

Madrasa is an established religious center that serves as a place for Islamic education and catalyst for communal development. Current madrasas however, do not exhibit contemporary and locally-minded design features in reference to the regional aspects such as the local social cultural context. The madrasa is built as a separate entity from the local communal context. The objective of this paper is to study on two traditional madrasas that uses different approaches in architectural design as an educational institution as well as a communal center for the Islamic society using semiotic approach.  Findings indicate that factors like location and placement, size and scale, facade and structure, access and circulation as well as hierarchy and spatial function contributed to the development of madrasa as a sustainable communal center. The establishment of these referential design guidelines are of benefit to future designers, builders, developer and related authority to build a better sustainable communal madrasa type in the future.
Living in Fear

Published: March 2019

While urbanisation has always been welcomed as a driver to economic amelioration, it has also been criticised for raising expectations and complicating the lives of  urban residents. With urban development, wellbeing is often compromised as income disparity increases, quality of life decreases. Of late, crime has been a major concern. Criminal activities have eroded the sense of urban wellbeing and caused the desertion of neighbourhoods.  While the Malaysian government tries to achieve sustainable urban development by containing urban sprawl, crime is undoing these efforts. Interviews with residents in crime-prone areas show that many are increasingly threatened by criminal activities in their neighbourhoods and have shown high tendencies to move out of the neighbourhoods. Steps to contain this problem is by having neighbourhood-level security measures as well as heightened involvement in community safety initiatives

Die Fraktion der „Alternative für Deutschland“ (AfD) in der Hamburger Bürgerschaft hat im September 2018 ein Portal eingerichtet, das zum anonymen Handeln gegen Lehrer und Lehrerinnen aufruft. Die Tipps der AfD zum Vorgehen enthalten zwei gravierende Probleme: a) Es wird die Vorstellung erweckt, als brauchten Bürger und Bürgerinnen die AfD, wenn sie allgemeine rechtsstaatliche Verfahren nutzen wollen. b) Der anonyme Weg über die AfD ist eine Einladung zur Denunziation von Lehrerinnen und Lehrern. Die Vokabeln „Anfangsverdacht“ und „Verstoß gegen (…) Rechtsvorschrift“ (auf der Internetseite) sind geeignet, Ängste und Befürchtungen bei Lehrenden zu wecken.

Oblique Intraplate Convergence of the Seram Trough, Indonesia
Authors: Patria Adi
Published: March 2019

The Banda Arc which curves around through 180o is one of interesting features in Eastern Indonesia, a complex area resulting from convergence of Indo–Australia, Eurasia, and Pacific plates with a number of microplates involved. Its complexity has led to debates on how the U–shaped geometry was attained. This study investigates seafloor morphology and seismicity around the Seram Trough which may help to give an insight into the tectonic setting of the area. We further discuss each model proposed for the Seram Trough by previous authors. Generally, there are two views on how many slabs are subducting beneath the Banda Arc, either double slabs or single slab. The Seram Trough, which is often linked to the Timor–Tanimbar Trough enclosing the Banda Arc, was interpreted in different ways, with many models by many authors, as a subduction trench, an intraplate foredeep and a zone of strike–slip faulting. We argue that the most plausible explanation is a single slab model to explain the nature of the Banda Arc. The most plausible model for the Seram Trough is a foredeep model which is associated with exhumation processes on Seram and the deep feature was caused by a subsidence, led by loading by the fold–thrust belt. The Seram Trough is significantly different to common subduction systems. It has shallower bathymetry, is less than 3000 m in depth and is an almost aseismic zone. Keywords: Banda Arc, Buru Basin, convergence, fold–thrust belt, Seram Trough.Busur Banda yang melengkung 180o merupakan fitur menarik di Indonesia bagian timur, suatu area kompleks hasil konvergensi lempeng Indo–Australia, Eurasia dan Pasifik dengan beberapa lempeng mikro terlibat. Kompleksitasnya mengarah pada perdebatan bagaimana geometri ‘U’ terbentuk. Studi ini menginvestigasi morfologi dasar laut dan kegempaan disekitar Palung Seram yang dapat membantu memberikan wawasan tentang tatanan tektonik area tersebut. Kami juga mendiskusikan setiap model yang diajukan untuk Palung Seram oleh beberapa penulis sebelumnya. Umumnya, terdapat dua penjelasan tentang berapa jumlah lempeng yang menunjam dibawah Busur Sunda, antara dua lempeng atau satu lempeng. Palung Seram yang sering dihubungkan dengan Palung Timor-Tanimbar menyelubungi Busur Banda telah diinterpretasikan dengan beberapa model oleh beberapa penulis sebagai palung subduksi, foredeep dalam satu lempeng dan zona sesar mendatar. Kami mengajukan bahwa penjelasan yang memungkinkan adalah model satu lempeng dalam penjelasan keadaan Busur Banda. Model yang dapat diterima untuk Palung Seram adalah foredeep di depan sabuk sesar anjak dan lipatan yang berasosiasi dengan exhumation processes di Pulau Seram dan fitur yang dalam diakibatkan oleh subsidence akibat pembeban jalur sesar anjak dan lipatan. Palung Seram memiliki batimetri yang lebih dangkal, kurang dari 3000m dan merupakan zona aseismik.Kata kunci: Busur Banda, Cekungan Buru, konvergensi, jalur sesar anjak dan lipatan, Palung Seram.

Published: March 2019

Study area is situated 8 km south of the Bakkhali Island, West Bengal of India and its subaqueous environment influenced by the fluvial processes such as Hooghly River in west and its distributary like Muri Ganga in the centre and Saptamukhi River in the east. To understand the submarine behavior of these channels and associated meiobenthos, total of 28 sediment samples have been studied in detail. The study reveal that a total of fifteen species of recent benthic foraminifera belonging to 13 genera under 11 families were present and their distribution mainly controlled by channel morphology and sediment character. Based on the distribution of these benthic foraminiferal species, two assemblages have been identified. First assemblage, observed within the Hooghly and Muri Ganga channel, where salinity is comparatively low and sediment is mainly dominated by silt and clay. The most dominating benthic foraminifers of this assemblage are Ammobaculites agglutinans, Cribrostomoides jeffreysii and Asterorotalia trispinosa. Whereas, second assemblage mainly comprise of A. trispinosa, Ammonia beccarii, Asterorotalia spp., Elphidium excavatum, Elphidium crispum and Ammonia tepida noticed over the sand bars and adjoining shallow area.

Published: March 2019

The paper analyzes solutions used in the process of institutionalization of relations between UE, CIS member states and the states of Asia and Africa. It also analyzes influence of institutionalization of economic cooperation, particularly export and import, on the position of states involved. Different solutions, such as GSTP for least developed countries, are used. Attention is drawn to the asymmetry in trade relations with the less developed countries, which are given preferential access to EU markets. Those solutions are additionally strengthened by financial instruments. It seems that the results of these actions are positive: GNP increase of African states is higher than the GNP increase of EU-27, especially after 2009. The importance of European Commission and EBC is underlined as an important factor that stimulates growth in those countries. Similar cooperation but on different level is also observed in regard to other continents. The cooperation between Asia, Africa and CIS countries is not limited to transfer of funds. It also includes internationalization of contacts and liberalization of trade, services and capital flow as well as cooperation in research and support of economic transformation. The solutions applied are different for each country, however they are based on the same principles.

Published: March 2019

Institutionalization of contacts between EU member stats and third countries influences structural changes in cooperating states, such as convergence of less developed economies to the level of the more developed ones and increase of efficiency of developed economies. All in all the overall level of welfare increases. The following paper defines cohesion and institutionalization and explains how those two processes are interlinked and what is their effect on economic growth dynamics and on diminishing of growth gap. Attention is drawn to the dynamic character of contacts between EU and it’s neighbors which translates into access to the EU market. Convergence is not limited to transfer of funds, materiel, expertise and know-how. EU acts also as a manager and controller of those processes. However the scope and dynamics of changes are limited in accordance with the political will of third parties. The process of convergence is beneficiary to all sides as their economies expand.
Miejsce ChRL w międzynarodowej polityce energetycznej

Published: March 2019

Rapid growth of China’s demand for fuels, especially oil, caused by dynamic  economic growth of the PRC, is one of the sources of fundamental changes in  international energy policy and in international relations as such. The rate of  growth of China’s demand for fuels combined with similar trends in other developing  countries will influence the level of global prices of these fuels. It can also  become the source of political crisis’ in international race to secure access to them.  A question arises: what are the possible consequences of Chinese energy policy  for international environment, particularly in the oil sector? Analysis of China’s  energy profi le and the directions of expansion caused by it, leads to a conclusion  that PRC does not express tendencies to participate in conflicts. The possibilities of  conflicts are more likely to arise due to actions of China’s potential enemies among  developed countries that may perceive the growth of PRC international standing as  a danger to their own position or to position of other developing states whose  demand for fuels increases as fast as China’s.

The world economy is in serious crisis for a few years now. First signs of the  crisis were noticed in 2006 when the real estate market slump begun, followed  by crisis in banking, car manufacturing and other sectors. Some states suffered  from recession or economic slow down and the unemployment rates have gone  up. Although the crisis was global, it affected different countries in different ways.  To be in crisis meant something else for the United States, Japan or EU member  states. In this context, much attention was drawn to the fast growing economies  as China or India, whose economy grew in last 10 years by up to 9% annually  and suffered comparatively little due to the crisis. What were the mechanisms the  protected India’s economy from the crisis? Several factors were responsible for  that, including active state policy, anti-crisis packages, investments on internal  and foreign markets, and huge internal market.0

After Poland’s accession to EU regional and local development as well as public administration actions for improvement of conditions of living were tied with the necessity to invest heavily, especially in infrastructure. Providing necessary funds meant combining funds from different sources, particularly from public resources and from the EU budget. In the present system of financing the tasks of local government, external income, transferred to the local government through national budget, is important part of development policy, even though it limits financial self-reliance of local government. Income transferred to gminas from national budget, especially the gminas’ share of personal income tax, still plays important part in their budgets. The amount of money transferred to gminas to co-finance with EU different projects and programs shows large spatial differences which influences the level of investments, especially in infrastructure.

Finansowanie działań politycznych w Japonii – zarys regulacji i praktyki ustrojowej
Authors: Misiuna Jan
Published: March 2019

This paper deals with the reality of political finance in Japan. In the text I describe how the election system influenced the process of creation of party system, especially segmentation of the Liberal-Democratic Party into factions. Consequences of this system include expensive election campaigns which in turn lead to close relationships between political parties and individual politicians and large, particularly corporate, donors. In effect the costs of election campaigns continue to increase and political parties, perpetually in need of money, constantly search for new donors. In this context it is not surprising that in Japan corruption is important problem. What is also important, however, is the fact that dysfunctional relationships between large, corporate donors and political parties were and are fundamental factors influencing economic policies of successive governments.

Tunezja i Maroko. Oblicza Arabskiej Wiosny
Authors: Krukowska Monika
Published: March 2019

Political changes in Northern Africa, known as the Arab Spring, allowed reli‑ gious parties to take over the power. In the paper I analyzed political developments in Tunisia and Morocco in the past two years. Both countries have accepted reform agendas though their implementation brought about different results. In Tunisia the changes were very volatile, deeply interfering with all aspects of public and private spheres. In Morocco, on the opposite, the process was much more gentle, overseen in all aspects by king Mohamed VI. The fact that ruling political par‑ ties have religious roots has influenced the process of reforms and caused serious anxiety. The complexity of the economic, social, and political challenges in both countries hinders the reform process. The tensions between two ways of devel‑ opment (religious and secular) cause controversy and uncertainty which are the subject of this paper.

Authors: Snarska Alicja
Published: March 2019

The subject of this paper is vocational education in vocational high schools in Poland and its aim is to argue that presently vocational high schools fail at providing their students with qualifications necessary to work in their profession of choice. The problem is important as the unemployment rate among young people is high while the employers claim there is a deficit of qualified workforce on the labour market. The paper presents the results of a survey carried out among vocational high school students which showed that 95 % of students believe that 4 weeks of apprenticeships is insufficient. Given the opinions of the employers and the results of the survey among the vocational high school students, it seems surprising that the changes made to the vocational core curriculum were not more substantial.

Published: March 2019

The paper contains the results of regional studies conducted for the compliance of development projects with the objectives of the Europe 2020 Strategy, and with a particular focus on innovative projects. The specific aim of the study was to analyze the projects for which contracts for co‑financing from EU funds have been concluded, and which are consistent with both the priorities of the Strategy, and the general objectives of the European Union up to 2020. The analysis was conducted in groups of projects corresponding to the objectives of the Strategy. The results of the study clearly showed the diversity (in terms of financial value and quantitative measure) of development projects at two levels of local government: district (powiat) administration and municipal administration, as well as the role of private sector activity in implementing innovations. Especially noticeable was strengthening of “self ‑government approach” to social issues, which are in the scope of an impact of the public authorities at regional and local level. Growing importance of the social services development coincides with the gradual decreas‑ ing of the scope of investments in technical infrastructure. Meanwhile the activity in the field of innovation focused clearly in the private sector units.

The article investigates changes of national innovativeness and state’s innovation policy under conditions of open economy. An external openness – to the global environment – enables growth of international flows of goods and factors as well as increase of business and institutional linkages. Raising importance and impacts of external conditions on national innovativeness and national innovation system (NIS) are driven by four processes: globalization, regionalization, growing knowledge-based economy and transnational business. A new concept of NIS internationalization process in an open economy is introduced, including external and internal conditions, four groups of entities (including ones of foreign origin) together with their linkages and interactions. The return of the state to active innovation policy in order to influence activity led by all entities of domestic as well as foreign origins, including subsidiaries and research centers owned by foreign firms (TNCs) is justified in the light of the research. The state should influence the activity led by foreign entities with instruments of investment policy (to attract inflow of foreign direct investments to the domestic research sector) as well as instruments of innovation policy directed towards all entities.

La memoria franquista en el espacio urbano. Cuestiones metodológicas e historiográficas para las comisiones locales de memoria histórica
Authors: Rina Simón César
Published: March 2019

El espacio urbano está plagado de significaciones, de marcadores de identidad. Nuestra sociedad construye su memoria en diálogo constante con un espacio repleto de simbolismo. Monumentos, banderas, iconos, funcionalidad de los edificios, imaginarios locales y el nomenclátor actúan como recordadores o propiciadores de lo que se debe recordar. En los regímenes políticos contemporáneos, el sentido, forma y significado de estos marcadores viene determinado por las instituciones, que oficializan determinadas narrativas del pasado y hacen de su uso público uno de los principales referentes en la construcción de su legitimidad. De hecho, una de las constantes históricas de los dos últimos siglos ha sido el combate político por construir lugares de memoria y hacer de la calle un lienzo en el que transmitir valores, ideologías o lecturas del pasado. Estas cuestiones han sido centrales en los debates historiográficos de las últimas décadas a partir de los trabajos pioneros de Josefina Cuesta, Paloma Aguilar, Elizabeth Jelin -para el caso argentino- o Pierre Nora -para el francés-.
Paisajes mutantes de Huelva y la costa occidental
Authors: Márquez Domínguez Juan Antonio
Published: March 2019

La comarca de Huelva y la costa occidental se extiende por 1.394 kilómetros cuadrados adosados a una planicie litoral, articulada y diseccionada por los ríos Guadiana, Carreras, Piedras y Tinto-Odiel. Estos ríos conforman en su desembocadura estuarios y marismas, precedidas de caños y esteros, que entablan una enconada lucha con las aguas del mar, cuyas batallas se impresionan en spits o barras de arena. La ocupación de este territorio se inició en los promontorios que garantizaron la seguridad necesaria para la defensa de la vida y las haciendas. Así, los núcleos urbanos más antiguos se localizan en las lomas más elevadas. Los ríos constituyeron, con sus puertos fluviales, las vías de comunicación más importantes. Por ella transitaron hombres y mercancías de un ruedo agrícola consagrado a la trilogía mediterránea y a productos que, como la almendra y los higos, permitieron la travesía de la aventura colombina.Sin embargo, recientemente, la inercia de la historia se ha roto. La comarca, con apenas el 14% del territorio provincial, concentra más del 62% de la población, 323.087 personas en 2017. De forma disruptiva, los paisajes tradicionales han cambiado con el acercamiento a la costa de actividades emergentes como la industria, la agricultura de vanguardia y el turismo. En la carrera de los paisajes mutantes, un pequeño núcleo de pescadores, que no sobresalía de los de su entorno, Huelva, se ha ido convirtiendo en la ciudad primada, articulando desde su puerto un potente tejido productivo industrial, comercial y de servicios.
La memoria democrática en el juego entre memoria y cultura
Authors: Zavala Maria del Rosario
Published: March 2019

Los temas de memoria pueden asociarse a cuestiones de la cultura, a los que se complementa el concepto de postdictadura, como un marco social de la memoria democrática. Así, partimos de considerar la cultura en tanto producciones simbólicas que se asocian al trabajo de una memoria particular. De manera que, con la construcción social e histórica de nuestro pasado reciente, es posible reconocer los procesos de restitución del orden democrático/representativo como un modo legítimo de gobierno en correlación a la restitución simbólica y las manifestaciones particulares en que se desarrollan.
