Published: July 2018

Ammonium concentration in bottled drinking water should not exceed 0.15 ppm. National Standardization Agency of Indonesia (BSN) had issued two standard methods for analysis, Nessler (SNI 01-03554-1998) and Berthelot (SNI 01-03554-2006). Both were statistically compared. The first method was much simpler than the second one because the preparation was only by adding the Nessler reagent into the sample. Whereas in the second one, the addition of reagents should be prepared freshly. The variance coefficient of the first method was 3.41% with linearity 0.9995 and recovery was 101.05%. Whereas variance coefficient of second method was 3.64 % with linearity 0.9995 and recovery was 105.62%. Significance test between the methods showed that value of Fexp (1.043) was less than Fcrit (4.284),Â  and value of texp (2.36) was less than tcritÂ  (2.45) in interval of confidence 95%. There was no significant difference between two methods

Published: July 2018

This research studies the challenge of traditional culinary in the form of new food creation from some cities in Indonesia which claim themselves as special souvenirs and put the city’s name in naming the food. As souvenirs differentiation, it is a good news. However, these food creations are  neither the traditional food from the cities nor  using local ingredients for the materials. This research studies 3 food creations namely Jogja Scrummy, Malang Strudel and Surabaya Snowcake. Then, it questions the origin of the food creation, the reason of putting the city’s name, and the response of the tourists. The methods used in the research are observation, interview and documentation. The data were analyzed by descriptive qualitative technique. The results show that the food creations claim as special souvenirs to the city as they can not be found in other cities. However, they fulfill the characteristics of souvenirs. Therefore, as the time goes by, these food creations will be recognized as typical souvenirs of the city.

The evaluation of stability of Czech and Slovak banks
Authors: Kocisova Kristina , Gavurova Beata , Behun Marcel
Published: July 2018

Research background: Commercial banks could affect the stability of the whole banking system due to the way they carry out their business activities. The supervision authorities play a key role in protecting banking stability by ensuring banks´ resilience to shocks, ability to recover their position in response to crisis and ultimately the supervision authorities help prevent failure of these banks. Therefore, in recent years’ researchers have been trying to define conditions that could guarantee stability of banks.

Purpose of the article: This paper aims to describe the methodology used to measure banking stability, namely banking stability index (BSI) and Z-score. In the first part, we present the literature review, then we try to assess the stability in the condition of the Czech Republic and Slovakia during the period 2006–2016.

Methods: The BSI is constructed according to the methodology presented by Ghosh (2011), taking into account the main components, which are described by the set of financial indicators of banks.

Findings & Value added: Results showed that the average BSI in the whole sample moved from 0.20454 (in 2015) to 0.2486 (in 2007). The results according to countries have showed that the tendency of development in the Czech and Slovak banking sector was the same. At the beginning of the analyzed period, the Slovak banks were more stable compared to Czech ones. Since 2009 the situation has been different, where the Czech banks could be considered as more stable compared to Slovak ones. The tendency of development of Z-score in both countries could be considered as the same, without the 2009 year, when the Czech banks significantly strengthened their capitalization, which influenced the development of Z-score. The results of correlation analysis between Z-score and BSI pointed to the fact that there was no high correlation between these two measures, therefore it is appropriate to use both methodologies for stability evaluation.
Opportunities and threats associated with an investment in shares of innovative companies — evidence from Polish capital market
Authors: Nawrocki Tomasz L.
Published: July 2018

Research background: Since the Internet bubble, which took place at the turn of XX and XXI century, on the global capital markets, including Poland, one may note a growing interest in companies focusing on innovations and innovativeness. The main driver of this interest is the belief that in a longer term innovations and expenditures on research and development will translate into an increase in competitive advantage, financial results, and subsequently also the market value of companies. On the other hand, the attention should also be paid to the fact that innovative activity has also another, darker, side, which is identified with the far-reaching uncertainty about its final effects and the possibility of incurring losses, especially in financial dimension. At the same time, it should be noted that implementation of investment strategy regarding the shares of innovative companies is quite troublesome because of the lack of unified methodology for assessing corporate innovativeness and large information diversity in this area.

Purpose of the article: The investment efficiency analysis of investment strategy regarding shares of companies perceived to be innovative with simultaneous focusing on the different cases of situation development in time.

Methods: The research was carried out for companies listed on the main market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, taking into consideration various time ranges of investment. The efficiency analysis of this investment strategy was conducted in the risk-return outlay with the use of such measures as: accumulated rate of return, arithmetic average rate of return, standard and semi-standard deviation, as well as coefficients of variation and semi-variation of rate of return and their inverses.

Findings & Value added: The obtained results show that in shorter periods of time, inves-tors buy expectations connected with innovative companies and therefore, the efficiency of investment in their shares is relatively high, but in the longer term expectations are revised by companies’ financial results, which in turn often negatively affects the investment efficiency.
The relation between management fees and the mutual funds` performance in Poland in 2015
Authors: Fraś Alicja
Published: July 2018

Research background: The investor`s expectation of better performance in the case of more expensive mutual funds seems natural and fully justified. However, the rise of passive funds and their surprisingly good results, especially when taking into account their low fees, triggered the discussion. Recent years have brought more and more studies, conducted mostly for the American market, discrediting high-charging, aggressive funds. First analyses in Poland also indicate that the level of fees is not always linked with the fund’s performance.

Purpose of the article: The purpose of the study is to investigate the relation be-tween the fees imposed by the mutual funds and the funds` performance. The idea is to verify, whether higher management fees are associated with top performance and whether it is rational to pay more for capital management.

Methods: In the first step of the study, linearity and direction of the dependency was explored, using scatterplots and correlation analysis. In the second part, the linear regression was created to verify the strength of the relation. One-factor models have been built with the rate of return and standard deviation as independent variables for 1-, 3- and 5-year time horizons. Moreover, two-factor models, including both rate of return and risk has been created, to compare the significance of return and risk factor.

Findings & Value added: The results indicated that more expensive Polish mutual funds in 2015 tended to perform worse in all tested time horizons — both in terms of lower rates of return and higher risk. Especially unexpected are the results of rates of return regression analysis — it turns out that within a sample 1% higher fee implied over 0.6% lower rate of return before fees (in yearly period). Nonetheless, the risk turned out to be more important, explaining the charges variability much better than the rate of return. Another interesting finding of the study is that merely two simple factors (return and risk) explain even as much as 60% of the management fee variability.

Published: July 2018

Research background: There has been an extensive process of foreign and joint ownership enterprises establishment in the Russian economy since 2006. Domestic manufacturing industry has been experiencing certain pressure on behalf of foreign direct investment bringing new technologies and higher labor requirements.

Purpose of the article: The aim of this paper is to investigate differences in employment strategies and labor indicators in the case of enterprises in foreign and joint ownership (FJO) and domestic enterprises in Russian ownership (RO). We analyze the manufacturing industry in Russia and its regions under conditions of stable and crisis periods.

Methods: The study enhances the analysis of Rosstat’s statistical data for 2005–2016 and applies ANOVA method to compare the employment results for companies with different ownership patterns. The research is carried out both at the national level of the Russian Federation and at the regional level according to the regions.

Findings & Value added: The study identifies significant decline in employment and in-crease in productivity for the period of 2005–2016. In contrast to the crisis of 2008–2009, in 2014–2016 there has been no sharp drop in employment. However, there is a substantial decline in real salaries which is comparable to the crisis of 2008-2009. According to ANOVA, statistically significant differences in labor indicators between FJO and RO companies are manifested. RO companies dominate in employment and payroll funds, while FJO enter-prises have better productivity results with a higher average salary. FJO companies demonstrated faster growth in employment and payroll fund in relatively stable conditions (2012–2013). However, they reacted with a significant reduction in employment for a new crisis (2014–2016), although the creation of new FJO enterprises continued in separate regions of Russia. The results can be used in social policy to regulate the employment and earnings of industrial workers in the current economic conditions.

To what extent can long-term investments in infrastructure reduce inequality?
Authors: Hooper Emma , Peters Sanjay , Pintus Patrick
Published: July 2018

By reviewing US state-level panel data on infrastructure spending and on per capita income inequality from 1950 to 2010, this paper sets out to test whether an empirical link exists between infrastructure and inequality. Panel regressions with fixed effects show that an increase in the growth rate of spending on highways and higher education in a given decade correlates negatively with Gini indices at the end of the decade, thus suggesting a causal effect from growth in infrastructure spending to a reduction in inequality through better access to education and opportunities for employment. More significantly, this relationship is more pronounced with inequality at the bottom 40 percent of the income distribution. In addition, infrastructure expenditures on highways are shown to be more effective at reducing inequality. By carrying out a counterfactual experiment, the results show that those US states with a significantly higher bottom Gini coefficient in 2010 had underinvested in infrastructure during the previous decade. From a policy-making perspective, new innovations in finance for infrastructure investments are developed, for the US, other industrially advanced countries and also for developing economies.
Group Decision Analysis Algorithms with EDAS for Interval Fuzzy Sets
Authors: Ilieva Galina
Published: July 2018

The purpose of this paper is proposing, analyzing and assessing two new algorithms of the EDAS method for group multi-criteria decision making with fuzzy sets. In the first proposed EDAS extension for distance measure between two interval Type-2 fuzzy numbers is applied Graded Mean Integration Representation (GMIR). The second algorithm takes into account the proximity between the fuzzy alternatives and its similarity measure is Map Distance Operator (MDO). The two new algorithms are verified by a numerical example. Comparative analysis of obtained rankings demonstrates that GMIR extension is more reliable as an interval Type-2 fuzzy alternative to Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS). In case that time is of the essence, the MDO EDAS could be preferred.

Authors: Korsemov Dilian , Borissova Daniela , Mustakerov Ivan
Published: July 2018

In the article a combinatorial optimization model for group decision-making problem is proposed. The described model relies on extended simple additive weighting model. A distinctive feature of the proposed model is consideration of the importance of experts’ opinions by introducing weighted coefficient for each of experts. This allows flexible adjustment of differences in knowledge and experience of the group members responsible to determine most preferable alternative to be achieved. The numerical application is illustrated by an example for software engineering adopted from D. Krapohl. The obtained results show the practical applicability of the proposed combinatorial optimization model for group decision-making.

Shear Strength of Medium Plastic Expansive Soil Reinforced with Polyester Fibers
Authors: Parihar Niraj Singh , Shukla Rajesh Prasad , Gupta Ashok Kumar
Published: July 2018

This Expansive soils are very problematic as they are prone to substantial settlements, heave, and possess low bearing capacity. These soils cover more than 20% of the land cover of India and cause obstructions in the development of road networks, railways, and various other construction activities. They make soil stabilization essential. An investigation was carried out to determine the effect of various proportions of randomly-oriented polyester fibers on the shear strength of expansive soil. The unconfined compressive strength of reinforced soil was determined by incorporating four fiber contents, i.e., 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, and 1%, with varying aspect ratios. The effect of various aspect ratios of 20, 40, and 60 were studied in the present work. The stress-strain relationship for different aspect ratios and fiber contents is also presented in the study. The optimum quantity of fibers was found to be 0.75% of the total weight of the soil. A maximum enhancement in the strength of the soil was achieved with fibers with an aspect ratio of 40. The effect of the aspect ratio is significant with a fiber content of 0.50 to 0.75%. The peak strength of untreated soil is found at strain levels of 6-8%, whereas it increases to 10-12% in reinforced soil. A statistical analysis was also performed to develop a regression equation to predict the improvement in the strength of the medium plastic expansive soil used in the study.
Government Tax Policy and Performance of Listed Manufacturing Firms in Nigeria: Evidence from Dynamic Panel Data Model
Authors: Adefeso Hammed A.
Published: July 2018

This study examined the influence of government corporate tax policy on the performance of 54 randomly selected listed companies that cut across 17 categories of non-financial in Nigeria over a period of 1990-2002. Using Generalised Method of Moment (GMM) and contrary to the expectation, the study found positive1 relationship between corporate tax policy and the output performance of quoted manufacturing firms in Nigeria. This may be an indication that government revenue from corporate tax was judiciously expended on productive government expenditure most especially in Lagos State as virtually all the selected manufacturing firms have their main base in Lagos State. The study therefore recommended that Federal Government should either minimize or totally remove tax incentives, tax waivers and tax holidays to some manufacturing firms in Nigeria.

Published: July 2018

The development of computer technology in Indonesia is currently growing rapidly. In line with this the development of the Potato Seed Center (BBI) of potatoes was also developing, as was the case at the Kerinci Regency mother's seed plant. Processing of potato hatchery and hatchery development reports has not been computerized because it still uses Microsoft Excel, causing some problems including making reports on the development of potato hatcheries and searching for data takes quite a long time. This led to a weak processing of hatchery data processing systems and the development of reports on the development of Kerinci Regency potato seeding. Seeing the above problems, a potato seeding information system at the Central Seed Agency (BBI) was made using a C # programming language that had used a database and used Crytal Report to assist in the development of a report on the development of potato seedlings in the potato seed plant in Kerinci district.

Rumput laut coklat memiliki potensi sebagai bahan pakan ayam petelur karena ketersediaan yang melimpah, tidak bersaing dengan kebutuhan manusia, mengandung zat-zat nutrisi, tidak bersifat toksik, kaya asam lemak omega 3, mengandung pigmen fukosantin, alginat dan fukoidan. Faktor pembatas penggunaan rumput laut ini, yaitu 1) Kandungan nutrisi dan kualitas: alginat tinggi, protein rendah, dan energi rendah; 2) Kandungan anti nutrisi: kadar garam tinggi dan phlorotannin; 3) Penanganan dan pengolahan: membutuhkan berbagai pengolahan khusus sebelum digunakan sebagai pakan ternak. Faktor-faktor pembatas tersebut dapat diatasi dengan perlakuan fisik (pencucian, pengeringan, autoklaf, perebusan dan freezing), fermentasi dan penambahan enzim dalam pakan sebagai upaya untuk meningkatkan ketersediaan zat nutrisi dan mendetoksifikasi senyawa antinutrisi. Rumput laut coklat (Phaeophyceae) memiliki potensi sebagai bahan pakan penyusun ransum ayam petelur.
Revisiting the Dependence of Cu K-Edge X-Ray Absorption Spectra on Oxidation State and Coordination Environment
Authors: Rudolph Julian , Jacob Christoph R.
Published: July 2018

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at the Cu K-edge is an important tool for probing the properties of copper centers in transition metal chemistry and catalysis. However, the interpretation of experimental XAS spectra requires a detailed understanding of the dependance of spectroscopic features on the local geometric and electronic structure, which can be established by theoretical X-ray spectroscopy. Here, we present a systematic computational study of the Cu K-edge XAS spectra of selected Cu complexes based on time-dependent density-functional theory in combination with a molecular orbital analysis of the relevant transitions. For a series of Cu ammine model complexes as well as a comprehensive test set of 12 Cu(I) and 5 Cu(II) complexes, we revisit the dependance of the pre-edge region in Cu K-edge XAS spectra on oxidation state and coordination geometry. While our calculations confirm earlier experimental assignments, we can also reveal additional signatures of the ligand orbitals and identify the underlying orbital interactions. The comprehensive picture revealed by this study will provide a reliable basis for the interpretation of in situ Cu K-edge XAS spectra of catalytic intermediates.

The problem of the unfavorable weather conditions impact on aircraft, including electric discharges on aircraft, continues to be relevant. For the successful implementation of flights, aviation as a type of transport should ensure safety, regularity and economy of air transportation. The aerial meteorology always takes an active part in above problems solution, since flight safety depends on timely prediction of unfavorable weather conditions. Modern airfield and aircraft equipment, as well as a new meteorological technique, helped to improve flight safety and reduce the number of accidents associated with adverse weather conditions, but this did not solve all the problems of civil aviation meteorological support. This problem is especially acute in small airports, where there are often no means of meteorological support and warnings about dangerous weather phenomena or they are insufficient. The article analyzes various unfavorable weather conditions, their influence on aircraft, provides statistics related to unfavorable weather conditions of aviation accidents, and shows the proportion of meteorological conditions among the factors affecting safety. Particular attention is paid to the problem of electric discharges to aircraft. The consequences of electric discharges on aircraft, as well as weather conditions contributing to electric discharges, are analyzed. In order to improve flight safety at local airports, it is proposed to create mobile units for collecting, processing and transmitting meteorological information that is territorially spread over the aerodrome zone; it allows to create mobile meteorological radar network. The structural scheme of the deployment of the mobile network for meteorological radars is given.
TO OPTIMIZATION OF AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL BY VISUAL-COGNITIVE COMPONENT DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Kryzhanovskij G. A. , Ponomarev K. Yu. , Timoshko M. V.
Published: July 2018

The article deals with the development of visual-cognitive component in interaction of the air traffic service specialist with the colour-graphic interface (of the information environment for monitoring the dynamic air situation) of a typical automated air traffic control system. Some weak points were found through monitoring of the air traffic controller interaction with information environment of interface. Elimination of the revealed drawbacks contributes to the most rational functional condition of air traffic control system. It becomes extremely important in high workload periods and especially in the situations of sharp urgency, e.g. in a shortterm conflicts, in hazardous meteorological conditions, in unforeseen or emergency situations in flight etc. The way of optimization of the air traffic control in the automated system is examined by applying visually-cognitive aids (tools) of user interaction available nowadays with the colour-graphic interface of the information environment. In a sense, we can talk about developing a cognitive support system for making rational decisions to identify potentially conflict situations and to counteract latent type of such situations. The development of decision support tools of rational orientation requires an analysis of the activity of the decision-maker, taking into account his personal factor, where the joint explication of the personal factor with information provision is appropriate. In this connection, the key priority is the development of information provision with colour-chromatic supplement of labels and aircraft marks. It results in information reduction to the minimum necessary and sufficient for making a decision on a rational basis. Application effect of the developed visual-cognitive solutions in the real route air traffic controllers test group is presented.
THE PROBABILITY DETERMINATION OF ERROR-FREE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER OPERATION
Authors: Borisov V. E. , Borsoeva V. V. , Stepanov S. M. , Stepnova A. I.
Published: July 2018

Human error is considered to be a cause or one of the main factors in most accidents. Errors are not a certain type of deviation in behaviour; they are a natural product of all human efforts. Errors must be accepted as a normal component of any system, in which humans and technology interact. In aviation for decades since 1960-ies the share of the human factor (HF) from the total number of aviation accident reasons is estimated by the constant growth from 40–50 to 80–90% [1]. This figure refers generally to the certified flight personnel of commercial aviation. Taking into account flights of General aviation (GA), maintenance, air traffic control, transport infrastructure, the overall share of the HF is over 90%. The subject content of HF focuses on the study of man in various conditions and relations to natural habitat and anthropogenic activities. The HF concept is aimed at finding the reasons for unsatisfactory activity and is understood as a field of methods development to optimize safety. In the understanding of human activities inaccuracy is the history of feelings and ideas about responsibility and free will. Erroneous human actions are the result of many simultaneous and asynchronous processes of air transport subjects and the social environment. The study of the nature of erroneous actions leads to conclusions about the deep origin in the human mentality structures of intentions, opinions and expression of the will. Consequence evaluation takes place during changing environment and individual consciousness. The results are often perceived as not corresponding to the original intentions. The human factor acquires special relevance at introduction of the navigation based on characteristics (PBN). Airline companies and services of Air Traffic Control (ATC) face serious problems while implementing the international standards on human factor.
Archival Utopics: Annamarie Jagose's Slow Water
Authors: Murray Alistair
Published: July 2018

Annamarie Jagose’s Slow Water (2003), a novel which looks back to the period before Pākehā occupation of these islands solidified into formal colonial rule, begins, curiously and somewhat provocatively, with a scene of settler absence: “All the night, from the darkness of my blanket, I watch the dead houses, Mr Clarke’s house, Mr Williams’s house, Mr Davis’s house, all dead. Still dead, in the first curve of daylight. . . . The church roof points at the sky and you are gone from here.”[i] Stressing reciprocity of desire as one of the relations made possible by colonial “entanglement,”[ii] this letter, narrated by Philip Tohi, intimates the spectacle of eradication by which the expulsion of the missionary William Yate from the Church Missionary Society (CMS) was both expressed and enacted: “All your books are burned, your bed, even the picture of your sister. . . . Ashes from the fire fill my mouth and again I cry” (2).

Maori Writing: Speaking with Two Mouths
Authors: Makereti Tina
Published: July 2018

Drawing on her own experiences as a novelist and anthologist, Tina Makereti explores the situation of the Māori writer as someone “speaking with two mouths,” addressing and drawing from both Māori and Pākehā literary traditions and ways of expressing creativity. Considering some examples from her own fiction and the work of other notable writers such as Patricia Grace, Makereti argues for a richer, more expansive conception of Māori and New Zealand literary history, one drawing on, and acknowledging, Māori ways of imagining literature.
Art Work, Art Work
Authors: Adam Pip
Published: July 2018

Novelist Pip Adam reflects on the processes involved in three of her recent projects: a novel, The New Animals (2017); a community newspaper and art project; and her educational work in creative writing classes in prisons. Drawing on Raymond Williams and Kenneth Goldsmith, Adam considers the relationship between the work of art and the work involved in producing art, and consider some of the ways in which the language of creativity and inspiration may undermine democratic energies.
The Big Smoke. New Zealand Cities 1840-1920
Authors: Pawson Eric
Published: July 2018

This substantial book focuses on the social life of the New Zealand city between the 1840s and about 1920. The evocative title is an invitation to the reader, the term originally emerging to portray “the sense of anticipation and excitement” of going to and experiencing the city and city life. Its application historically to New Zealand cities as they began to grow is described as “surely aspirational – or ironical” (p. 29)
