National Identity in Israel History Lessons
Authors: Purwanta Hieronymus
Published: December 2021

This study explores the relationship between national identity and history lessons in Israel as a means of nation-building. The problems raised are: (1) What is the construction of Israel's national identity? (2) How has national identity discoursed on nation-building projects? The historical method with a nationalistic approach developed by Ernest Renan and Anthony D. Smith is used as a research and analysis framework. Renan explained that nationalism is a combination of the struggles of the ancestors in the past and the desire to unite in the present. On the other hand, Smith formulated nationalism in three main elements: national integration, national autonomy, and national identity. The results of the study show that Israel's national identity rests primarily on Zionism and the Holocaust. Therefore, the subject matter of history primarily discusses the efforts of the Israeli people to return to Palestine as an ideal place to build the nation. On the other hand, the Nazi/Hitler massacre in Germany, known as the Holocaust, was seen as the pinnacle of suffering for the Jewish community in exile.

Struggle of Vested-Interests on Type-C Mining Digging in Sebudi Village, Karangasem Bali
Authors: Gde Putra Ida Bagus , Anom Kumbara Anak Agung Ngurah , Suarka I Nyoman , Sukiada I Nyoman
Published: December 2021

The application of regional autonomy in accordance with Article 10 of Law no. 22 of 1999 gave local governments the authority to manage natural resources, especially excavation C mining. The management of mineral C excavation in Sebudi Village will certainly have a positive impact and a negative impact on the community. The problems that then arise are that miners often violate the rules, causing damage that has an impact on the surrounding community, causing conflicts between corporations (miners) and the community. The purpose of this study was to determine the conflict and community resistance to the type-C excavation in Sebudi Village. This study uses interpretative qualitative methods through interviews, observations, and document studies. The results of this study indicate that there has been an internal conflict between the community and the miners. The conflict emphasizes the existence of unclear land tenure rights. This lack of clarity triggers small-scale disintegration triggered by the struggle for inheritance over land ownership which causes family ties to become more tenuous, resulting in mutual claims. The existence of mutual land ownership claims between families has an impact on the lack of clarity in the accountability of the land according to its rights and obligations (land certificates), thus causing uncertainty in paying taxes to the state or government. The absence of a land certificate is also one of the obstacles in managing the type-C excavation business permit which must be based on a land certificate.

Does International Competition Enhance Capacity Utilisation? Evidence from Indonesia, Philippine and Vietnam
Authors: Pidani Rita R , Mahmood Amir
Published: December 2021

This paper uses firm-level data of small and medium manufacturing firm in Indonesia, Philippine and Vietnam and studies the relationship between capacity utilisation and foreign market competition for the possibility of efficient firms self-selecting themselves instead of learning-by-exporting to enter the foreign markets. Estimating both linear and quadratic model on an unbalanced variance of exporting and non-exporting firms shows that the impact of foreign market competition on capacity utilisation is following a curvilinear relationship with a diminishing marginal point of as a constraint for further expansion. Capacity utilisation rate higher in non-exporting group is not only emphasizing a strong domestic market orientation of firms at large but also indicating the selection of learning-by-exporting entry mode by exporter SMEs in these countries. The paper further explores the impact of firm and industry physiognomies on a firm’s capacity utilisation and finds that the effects of wage productivity, competition, firm size, and legal structure are linearly positive and capacity dependent. The results throughout maintain the importance of capacities, competitiveness, and institutional performance as priorities to promote SMEs growth.
Structuralist Vs. Post-Keynesian Theory: Industrial Pricing in India
Authors: Dash Santosh K
Published: December 2021

How is industrial price determined in India? Using 40 years data spanning from 1970-71 through 2009-10 we provide fresh evidence to this question. We ask whether industrial pricing responds more to wage cost that rises with exogenous factors such as food prices (Structuralist theory) or to the endogenous need to finance new investment (i.e., Post-Keynesian theory). Though both the theories argue that industrial price is cost-determined, yet they differ in their methodology and thus, policy implication differs. We use Engel-Granger cointegration test and ARDL bounds test to answer the question. Since data support both the theories, a non-nested test is conducted where we find that the Structuralist theory outperforms its rival. This points out to the important role of agricultural goods in general, and food prices in particular in industrial price. The policy implication of this finding is that since agricultural prices play an important role in industrial price inflation, then monetary policy cannot control core inflation. Rather, the solution may lie in improving agricultural productivity through raising greater public investment.

Published: December 2021

Investor’s irrationality is an inevitable reality that has been time and again highlighted by researchers (Statman, 2008). Therefore, this study is another effort to assess the role of behavioral biases in financial decision making in Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX).A survey questionnaire is designed and used to collect responses using convenience sampling technique from sample of 250 investors of PSX. Behavioral biases include overconfidence, over thinking, herding, cognitive bias, and hindsight effect of investors. Multiple regression models are used to test influence of five behavioral biases on investment decision. The results show that overconfidence, over thinking, herding, cognitive bias, and hindsight effect have significant positive impact on investment decision. Overall results conclude that much change in investment decision is due to behavioral biases. This study will help financial advisors to better advice their clients. The one way to reduce these biases may be education and training of investors.
A Study on Trust in Media and its Relationship with Interest and Exposure of Advertising
Authors: Leung Chi Hong , Chan Winslet Ting Yan
Published: December 2021

Consumers receive numerous advertising messages from both online and offline media. Online media are becoming popular because they are convenient and easy to access although users may not trust them as much as the offline media. A total of 109 respondents participated in a survey on their interest and trust in various online and offline media. There are diverse attitudes to different online media. Facebook (as an example of social media) and official webpages (as examples of owned media) are the most interesting and trusted online media while blogs (as examples of informal diary style textual posts) and eBay (as an example of e-commerce platform) are the least interesting and trusted online media. In addition, trust and interest in media are found to be moderately correlated. Thus, consumers feel interested in advertising on trusted media. Besides, the result of the perceived truthiness test with 92 subjects reveals that repeated exposure to product information cannot increase the degree of trust in advertising messages. To choose a suitable medium for advertising is more important than increasing the frequency of advertising.

Authors: Keong Ooi Chee , Mohamad Shafi , Ehsanullah Syed
Published: December 2021

We have attempted to investigate the impact of adopting the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on real earnings management (REM) in this study, along with a thorough examination to determine the relationship between IFRS and REM. The study is primarily based on 178 listed firms from different industrial sectors in Malaysia, wherein IFRS had finally been implemented in 2008. For more adequate estimations and requisite results, we have included data of eight years i.e., 4 years before the implementation of IFRS and 4 years after its implementation, in our sample. Our results showed positive association between IFRS and REM, accordingly, precisely suggesting that after the implementation of IFRS, these firms were found to be engaged more in less detectable REM, and also exhibiting quite a poor financial reporting quality apparently below international standards.

Karelin's newt (Triturus karelinii) in Russia is known for sure in Republic of Crimea, Krasnodar region, Republic of Adygea, and Republic of Dagestan. No reports of this species distribution in other regions of the North Caucasus have yet been confirmed by collection materials. The paper presents data on few Karelin's newt findings in the Stavropol region and Karachay-Cherkessia Republic. In May 2018, five adult T. karelinii (two males and three females) were captured in the vicinity of the Novoekaterinovskaya village (Kochubeyevskiy district, Stavropol region). Another finding of this species (an adult female) was made in the vicinity of the Kubina village (Abazinskiy district, Karachay-Cherkessia Republic) in April 2021. The authors believe that Karelin's newt should be included in the faunal lists and Red Data Books of these regions.

The increasing complexity of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the educational environment prompts the research aimed at investigating the modern social and cultural landscape and identifying acmeological mechanisms of social and psychological aspects of the school safe climate. The theoretical framework of the study was based on the concept of "cultural traditions" proposed by D. B. Zilberman and devoted to normative and value types of attitudes to reality. The purpose of the study is to establish the correlation between the assessment of the social and psychological aspects of the school safe climate and the value and normative types of attitudes to reality. The latter are seen as the ways for the subjects of the educational process to express the attitude to the basic values. Research hypotheses: 1) Subjects of the educational environment who regard basic values as significant represent a value type; 2) The value type of the personality determines the educational environment as a safer one. The study sample includes: 1177 students aged 13 to 16 (60% of boys, 40% of girls, average age 14.9), 925 parents aged 28 to 57 (93% of females, 7% of males; average age 39.0), 136 teachers aged 23 to 74 (95% of females, 5% of males; average age 38.7) from Kazan. Research methodology: the test "Value Orientations" (by M. Rokich), the original questionnaire on the social and psychological aspects of the school safe climate (by E. N. Gilemkhanova). Evidently, the subjects of the educational environment who regard basic values as significant represent a value type as opposed to a normative type. The research shows that the value type of attitude determines the identification of the educational environment as a safer one. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the results obtained open up the possibility for interpreting D. B. Zilberman's concept in the context of acmeological determinants of social and psychological aspects of the school safe climate. The results of the study can be used to provide psychological and pedagogical support to the subjects of the educational process. Additionally, they are of importance for those implementing complex measures to organize a safe educational environment of the school.
The influence of coaches’ professional motivation on characteristics of their activities
Authors:   Pskov State University, Nikolaev Aleksey N.
Published: December 2021

The necessity to identify motivational factors of the coach’s activity components and of the dominant orientation of this activity makes the study relevant. Moreover, the relevance of the research is determined by the need to create the scientific basis for consideration and correction of the leading motives in sports coaching. The objective of the study is to identify the correlation between the motives of the coach’s professional activity and characteristics of its success. Presumably, the “bifurcation” of orientations among Russian coaches is the result of the qualitative specificity of the dominant motives. The findings of the empirical study of motivational factors which determine the qualitative side of the sports coaching are presented. The study has been carried out on the sample of coaches working at sports schools in St. Petersburg who specialize in various sports (N = 42, men aged from 23 to 67 years old). The following survey methods have been employed: “Need for Professional Activity” (by G. V. Lozova); “Motives of Professional Activity and its Success” (by A. N. Nikolaiev), “Methodology for Studying the Success of Coaches” (during the preparatory and competitive periods) (by A. N. Nikolaiev). The criteria for evaluating the results of the coaches’ work are based on the author’s original concept which determines successful realization of the coaches’ main functions in sports – those providing athletes’ personal development, education, health improvement and competition. Evidently, particular groups of coaches’ motives influence only certain characteristics of their activity, particular components of its success. The motives of activity are expressed quite vividly. The research reveals motives of “activity” affecting sports results, and the personality motives influencing the development of athletes. The coaches have either a “competition complex” or an “effective pedagogy” complex. The former includes motives aimed at the activity results, material well-being and social status, and the latter means motives directed at the activity process and communication. The results of the study authorize the selection of coaches in connection with the specifics of the sports organization. Additionally, the research results encourage to use psychological tools to correct the motivation of coaches as well as the prospective coaches.

Allocated one of several developments to enhance the technical, economic and environmentalperformance of modern locomotive power plants. The expediency of the use of gas distribution shafts with new more efficient gas distribution cams. The results of mathematical modeling and analysis of thekinematics characteristics of the valve drives the intake and exhaust valves of locomotive power plants withdiesel 1D80B and 6D49, improved (compared with standard) based on the new gas distribution cams. Theestimation of the expected change of the "time - section" valves, velocity, acceleration, dynamic displays andmechanical stresses in parts of the drive. The resulting comparative evaluations confirm the usefulness of theproposed solutions for improving the design of the valve drive locomotive power plants with diesel 1D80Band 6D49.Noted that the results of computational research workflows considered locomotive power plants, theuse of the camshaft with the proposed gas distribution cams will improve the value of "time - section" of thevalves, increasing the air flow through the cylinder filling ratio, charge air -fuel ratio and, as a result, willimprove the indicator and effective efficiencies, environmental performance, and reduce average operationalspecific fuel consumption.

Authors: Belev Georgi
Published: December 2021

Global climate fluctuations and projections of deteriorating sustainable human development since the beginning of the 21st century have highlighted the need to look for alternative energy sources to carbon fuels. The utilization of solar and wind energy has become a challenge for engineers and technologists to develop new technologies for more efficient development of renewable energy sources. The purpose of this paper is to present the territorial features in the utilization of renewable energy sources – solar radiation and wind in Bulgaria. The study focuses on the regional features of the solar- and wind energy potential. Based on statistical data, the utilization of the RES potential is considered through a review of the installed capacities.
Boosting Team Performance with Leadership Development
Authors: Niphadkar Chaitanya
Published: December 2021

Have you ever wondered that there’s a leader within you? On a daily basis we face situations that are outside
the scope of our control but we are, most of the times, forced to deal with it. Sometimes there is no escape allowed and
we knowingly or unknowingly display leadership qualities in our behaviour. Moreover, it is not wise to run away from
situations but logical to face them boldly. In this sense, I believe that we are the leader of our actions. However, one
cannot be simply termed as a leader unless one strives to develop the qualities. This article speaks about developing the
leader in you. It makes us aware about the leadership development programmes and building leaders at the workplace.
The Communicative Construction of Reality and Sequential Analysis. A personal reminiscence
Authors: Luckmann Thomas
Published: December 2021

This paper presents a historical view of the emergence of what is known as the communicative paradigm. Through a personal reminiscence of his long career, Thomas Luckmann entangles the main sources of what was a radical shift of the role of language and communication in the humanities and social sciences. In doing so, Luckmann shows that the epistemological and ontological assumptions on which the contemporary study of social interaction and communicative processes rely were practically non-existent half a century ago. While sociology and linguistics seemed to exist in separate universes during Luckmann’s student days, a dialogical approach to language and social life eventually appeared – for example, in ethnomethodology, conversational analysis and French structuralism – and laid the foundation to the (today taken for granted) idea that social realities are the result of human activities. Human social reality and the worldview that motivates and guides interaction are mainly constructed in communicative processes. If social reality is constructed in communicative interaction our most reliable knowledge of that reality comes from reconstructions of these processes. Such reconstructions have been greatly facilitated by technological innovation, such as tape- and video-recorder, which, alongside theoretical advancements, may explain the timing of the communicative turn. Finally, this paper marks the benefits of sequential analysis in enabling us to trace step-by-step the processes by which social reality is constructed and reconstructed.

Pada penelitian ini dibahas penerapan tanda tangan digital sebagai bentuk penjagaan keontentikan suatu dokumen elektronik yang dibuat dengan menggabungkan dua algoritma, yaitu fungsi hash MD5 (Message Digest 5) dan RSA (Rivest Shamir Adleman).  Isi dokumen elektronik diberikan fungsi hash MD5 sehingga menghasilkan message digest. Selanjutnya message digest akan dienkripsikan menggunakan algoritma kriptografi RSA sehingga menghasilkan tanda tangan digital. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa tanda tangan digital yang dihasilkan adalah berbeda-beda dari setiap dokumen elektronik. Dokumen elektronik yang menghasilkan nilai dekripsi tanda tangan digital dan message digest modulo  yang sama menunjukkan bahwa dokumen elektronik tidak mengalami perubahan pada isinya. Sebaliknya, dokumen elektronik yang tidak menghasilkan nilai dekripsi dan tanda tangan digital dan message digest modulo  yang sama menunjukkan bahwa dokumen elektronik telah mengalami perubahan pada isinya.

Published: December 2021

Kriptografi merupakan ilmu yang mempelajari tentang cara menjaga kerahasiaan pesan. Terdapat dua proses dalam kriptografi yaitu enkripsi dan dekripsi. Enkripsi yaitu merubah pesan asli (plainteks) menjadi pesan acak (cipherteks). Dekripsi merupakan proses merubah pesan acak menjadi pesan asli. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode super enkripsi yang mana merupakan gabungan dari dua metode yang terdiri dari metode subtitusi dan metode transposisi. Metode subtitusi yang digunakan adalah vigenere cipher dan metode transposisi yang digunakan adalah route cipher. Terdapat tiga variasi kunci dari metode vigenere cipher yaitu, full vigenere cipher, auto-key vigenere cipher dan running-key vigenere cipher. Adapun tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui proses beserta hasil dari enkripsi dan dekripsi menggunakan super enkripsi dengan metode vigenere cipher dan route cipher. Adapun proses enkripsi adalah dengan mengenkripsi menggunakan metode vigenere cipher dan selanjutnya dienkripsi lagi menggunakan metode route cipher.  Metode vigenere cipher terdiri dari tiga variasi, sehingga setiap variasinya dienkripsi satu persatu yang kemudian dienkripsi lagi dengan metode route cipher. Adapun proses dekripsi adalah dengan mendekripsi menggunakan metode route cipher dan dilanjut dengan metode vigenere cipher. Hasil dari penelitian ini yaitu didapatkannya cipherteks pada proses enkripsi dan plainteks pada proses dekripsi yang menggunakan metode vigenere cipher dengan 3 variasi dan metode route cipher.
On the Role of the Goal-Setting in Human Activity and Social Development
Authors: Veber Alexander
Published: December 2021

The goals of human activity are diverse, ambiguous and often opposite. In the article, goal-setting is seen in the context of the concepts of freedom and necessity, as a subject-object attitude, from the point of view of a dual role of consciousness – as knowledge (usually incomplete, personal, sometimes distorted) about the object to which the action of the subject is directed, and as an attitude to the object. The goal-setting is determined by the needs of the person, his interests in material life and other spheres. The dominance of the market order and private interests in an individualized society gives social development a spontaneous character – a development driven by many different goals, but not by common purpose. In the process of social development a discord is arising between private interests and social needs. Hence there is the need for development guided by social foresight in order to prevent threatening tendencies. In the light of global challenges and threats, the optimal combining of private and common human interests is becoming an increasingly urgent task, requiring changes in traditional priorities. The Sustainable Development Goals approved by the UN summits should be considered in terms of creating conditions for the survival of mankind.
