In Ukraine, insurance is a promising segment of financial relations, therefore the dynamics and prospects of its development are a relevant topic for research. The purpose of the study is theoretical generalization and development of practical recommendations for improving the management efficiency of life insurance companies in Ukraine. The following research methods were used: vertical and horizontal analysis of indicators of the activity of insurance companies, analysis and synthesis when considering modern approaches to the essence of the concept of insurance services, simulation modeling when developing a model of effective management of life insurance companies. Results and practical implications. The recommended model for improving the management of life insurance companies takes into account challenges, opportunities for development, as well as necessary measures from the regulator, the government and the companies themselves. Challenges: low interest rates, decrease in the profitability of the investment portfolio; competition with other savings instruments; mistrust of the population; lack of financial literacy; low purchasing power of the population; new accounting rules; investors' requirements for transparency. Opportunities: actualization of protection against mortality due to pandemic; accumulative pension insurance; investment life insurance, which ties profitability to the dynamics of the stock market; creation of a system for the protection of dependent persons; cross-selling through the identification of the most likely next insurance product; early coverage of customers who are going to retire; non-monetary benefits for customers. Measures by the government and the regulator: incentives to save and reduce consumption to reduce inflationary pressure; supervision of life insurance marketing, establishment of professional education standards for agents and brokers; expansion of the list of life insurance classes; loosening regulation of investment directions of reserves of insurance companies; provision of tax benefits for pension plans; encouraging personal financial planning through insurance promotion. Measures by the insurers themselves: hiring digitalization specialists; outsourcing of business areas and accounting; thorough market analysis; personalization of customer experience; Certification training; review of investment directions of life insurance reserves. All these components are combined into a single model for improving the management efficiency of life insurance companies.

Descriptive study on the instructional supervision practices of Bangsamoro school heads: Evaluating their impact on educational improvement
Authors: Maria Lucila S. Sumapal  , Maria Lucila S. Sumapal
Published: July 2023

Education plays a transformative role in society, shaping individuals' lives and contributing to overall development. The learners are considered the nucleus of education wherein studies show that their development is dependent on the teachers’ capabilities and commitment in which these are likewise influenced by supervisors’ instructional supervisory skills in collaboration with the educational environmental actors. The effective implementation of education relies on the collaborative efforts of stakeholders, with instructional supervisors playing a crucial role in supporting teachers as they facilitate student learning. This study aimed to assess the extent of instructional supervisory practices among school heads in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. A descriptive quantitative research design was employed, and a random sample of 314 comprising school heads and teachers participated as research subjects. The findings revealed that the instructional supervision practices of school heads, particularly in terms of teachers' guidance, support, and performance assessment, were evidently practiced but not fully implemented. This indicates a need to enhance the implementation of supervisory practices of school heads to ensure the provision of appropriate interventions to teachers, who are at the forefront of education. It is therefore recommended that educational institutions in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao provide comprehensive training and professional development for school heads to enhance their supervisory skills; cultivate a collaborative culture to facilitate communication and sharing of best practices; allocate adequate resources and support for instructional supervision; and promote ongoing professional growth for teachers through continuous development programs as well as conduct regular evaluations to monitor and improve instructional supervision practices leading to quality education in the region and in the global community.

The objective was to identify feeding practices among children born to HIV/AIDS-positive mothers in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Methods: The study was conducted in the provinces of Haut-Katanga and North Kivu in Haut-Katanga, the study included seven ZS in the city of Lubumbashi and the ZS Sakania, Kipushi the ZS Nyiragongo, Rutshuru, Binza, Goma, Karisimbi and Kirotshe were included in the study. A total of 1234 HIV+ mother couples with children at least six weeks old and with early HIV diagnosis results available were included in the study. For each mother-child couple, data were sought from three complementary sites: ANC, Maternity Hospital and the Provincial AIDS Reference Laboratory. Results: The majority of mothers were between 20 and 34 years of age (83.9 percent); three-quarters of these mothers were married (73.4 percent); half had a high school education (56.5 percent), and their main occupation was housework (41.9 percent); (96.8%) of women had given birth in a health facility; (79.8%) had done so in the health facility where they had attended ANC; only 11.3% of these women had experienced complications during delivery; two thirds of the women surveyed had children aged between 7 and 24 months (66.2%). The options cited were exclusive breastfeeding (61.3%) and artificial breastfeeding (46.0%). It was noted that 82.3% of women had put their baby to the breast within one hour of delivery. 90.3% reported exclusive breastfeeding, and it was noted that women chose to breastfeed because they were unable to buy artificial milk (42.9%). No mothers reported using a wet-nurse or the milk bank to feed their babies. However, the fact that mothers' child feeding options are not mutually exclusive suggests that although choice was made over one option, many mothers combine several to feed their children. Conclusion: It is important to consider, in the current context, the threat that mixed feeding poses to efforts to prevent MTCT Emphasizing follow-up home visits that not only retain women in the program, but also ensure that they and their infants are adhering to treatment, can continue to maintain undetectable viral load and reduce the risk of MTCT associated with mixed feeding. These visits should be carried out by trained, motivated and accountable staff to ensure that they have maximum impact in reducing the rate of MTCT.

Published: July 2023

Aluminium allow has been widely used recently due to their high strength to mass ratio, good formability and high corrosion resistance have a wide range of applications in aerospace, ship-building and railway industries. The 5083 series aluminum is the most widely used due to good strength and corrosion resistance properties. Tungsten Inert Gas Welding (TIG welding) is the most common welding method for aluminum alloys. This research was conducted A-TIG welding on 150 x 100 x 8 mm of 5083 aluminium and added by oxide powder (MgCl2 and TiO2) as active flux and various of current consist of 100, 130, and 160 A. The result of this research was obtained that the deepest penetration was 4.94 mm with TiO2 active flux and the current of 160 A, the highest hardness came from weld metal which using MgCl2 as an active flux with 100 A of current with 69.80 HVN. The hardness was increased by adding magnesium due to effect of it could be increased grain coarse. The lowest hardness was on weld metal with TiO2 active flux with 160 A of current due to the maximum heat input which decreased the hardness The recrystallization was occurred due to increase of heat input, so did the grain growth. The coarse grain which caused the decreasing of hardness was affected by the increase of heat input.
A study on Flame Characteristics Premixed Burning by Giving Magnetic Field Induction
Authors:   Jember University, andrianto Deny tomy
Published: July 2023

This study aims to compare the effect of magnetic field induction on the characteristics of the fire resulting from the combustion of premixed biodiesel calophyllum inophyllum . Further research on premixed combustion flames due to magnetic field induction. As time goes by, petroleum is currently running low, therefore alternative biofuels are needed. One type of non-food vegetable oil is Jatropha and calophyllum inophyllum oil, besides not being consumed, it can be processed into biodiesel as fuel. To get a more effective and efficient flame, you can apply a magnetic field effect to the fire, especially in terms of the burning rate of the fire. The experimental research method is to heat calophyllum inophyllum biodiesel until it is in the form of steam, then flow it to the burner which will then be given air which is controlled by the flow mass. Then the fire is ignited and the mass of the air flow is increased until the fire is lifted until it is extinguished. Two magnets are placed between the burners by varying the direction of the magnetic field N-S, N-N and the results of this study are the shape of the flame. The resulting fire is more transparent, clearer and more visible. The direction of the N-S magnetic field causes the temperature to be higher than the direction of the N-N magnetic field. The high and low of the flame is affected by the direction of the magnetic field, the stronger the N-S magnetic field. The magnetic field can affect the burning speed of the biodiesel flame. In a poor mixture (ϕ <1) in the presence of magnetic influence, the rate of fire is lower without the influence of a magnetic field, but in a rich mixture (ϕ > 1) in the presence of a magnetic influence, the rate of fire is higher than without the influence of a magnetic field. This is due to the magnetic influence that induces oxygen. Oxygen is paramagnetic, so it can be attracted by magnetic fields.

Scientific relevance. Deuterated analogues of test substances, when used as internal standards, enable analysts to determine traces of residual pesticides in a medicinal plant raw material by gas or liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. This prompts the search for an undemanding method for the synthesis of deuterated reference standards, with the ultimate goal of expanding the range of reference standards produced in Russia.

Aim. The study aimed to synthesise deuterated reference standards (malathion-D6, chlorophos-D6, dichlorophos-D6, and their precursors) and determine their spectral characteristics using 1Н, 2Н, 13С and 31Р nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Materials and methods. The study involved methanol-D4, phosphorus pentasulfide, phosphorus trichloride, maleic acid diethyl ether, triethylamine, hydroquinone, and chloral hydrate. The authors recorded 1H, 2H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectra using a QONE AS400 NMR spectrometer operating at a temperature of 298 °K and respective frequencies of 399.83, 61.38, 100.55, and 161.85  MHz. Mass spectra were obtained using an analytical system comprising an Agilent Infinity 1260 liquid chromatograph equipped with an automatic sample injector and coupled with a Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Fusion Lumos high-resolution mass-selective tandem spectrometer operating in electrospray ionisation mode.

Results. The authors used existing methods for the synthesis of organophosphate pesticides as a basis and developed synthesis routes to produce the deuterated analogues malathion-D6, chlorophos-D6, and dichlorophos-D6. The synthesised compounds were identified by NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Conclusions. The synthesised compounds are highly pure and suitable for use as internal standards in the determination of organophosphate pesticides in medicinal plant raw materials. The synthesis methods developed by the authors can be used to produce reference standards in Russia.

Published: July 2023

Scientific relevance. In December 2020, the Russian Federation adopted the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) requirements. This has significantly changed the certification procedure for qualified persons (QPs) of manufacturers of medicinal products for human use in the Russian Federation. To accommodate these changes, the Russian regulatory framework needs further improvement.

Aim. This study aimed to review the changes made to the mechanism of state regulation of medicines and to evaluate the impact on the pharmaceutical industry two years after the adoption of the current QP certification procedure.

Discussion. This review compares two QP certification procedures established by Order No. 7n of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation dated 12 January 2021. The first is an abbreviated one for QPs certified under the previous procedure, and the second is an initial one for QPs being certified for the first time, having an expired certificate, or wishing to extend their professional qualification profiles. The article illustrates common mistakes made by certification applicants when preparing their documents. Furthermore, the authors describe the most prevalent knowledge gaps identified by testing. The abbreviated certification procedure ensured a sufficiently smooth transition to the EAEU requirements. For example, by 1 February 2023, 506 QPs were recertified for the next five-year period according to this procedure. This accounts for slightly more than half of all QPs certified in the Russian Federation according to the previous requirements. The total number of QPs certified according to the EAEU requirements in Russia in 2021–2022 is approximately 1.5 times higher than the number of QPs certified during the same period in 2014–2015.

Conclusions. The updated procedure for QP certification has noticeably changed the occupational group of QPs formed in the Russian Federation in the last decade. The implementation of the new QP certification procedure has revealed several procedural issues that require additional explanation and clarification by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.

COMING TO TERMS WITH THE PAST: CASE OF ALBANIA IN THE EUROPEAN UNION PROCESS
Authors: YAZGAN Hatice
Published: July 2023

Post-communist countries’ processes on their way to the European Union (EU) have extensively proceeded simultaneously with their transition from communism to democracy. The regime change led to a process of “coming to terms with the past” in the sense that these countries took transitional justice measures for the crimes and practices of the former authoritarian regimes. In this regard, Albania is a case worth considering as a part of the current EU enlargement agenda. As a country that was not involved in the ethnic wars between the former Yugoslavian countries, Albania experienced a different historical pace of a communist past with its peculiarities. This article mainly aims to analyse Albania’s coming to terms with its communist past and thus the transitional justice measures implemented in its EU process. The main argument of the article is twofold: First, EU impact was limited when Albania started its transitional justice period in the 1990s. This was due to the fact that progress in the EU process of Albania in terms of EU candidacy was enhanced in the 2000s and the impact of the strict EU conditionality became evident in these years as well. Secondly, the current international circumstances, in which the rivalry between Russia as well as China, and the West is at its peak in the so-called Western Balkans region, could allow Albania to be more closely aligned with the EU, which in turn may provide the necessary conditions for deeper reforms to come to terms with its past.

Published: July 2023

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reality of independence for the people with disabilities and the direction of lifelong education. To this end, the photovoice research method, one of the participatory action research, was applied. Three research questions were set to achieve the objectives of the study. First, what are the difficulties of independence that people with disabilities face in their daily lives? Second, what does lifelong education help people with disabilities become independence? Third, what is the direction of lifelong education for the independence of the people with disabilities? Eight people with disabilities in the study took pictures of experiences in their daily lives, gave various meanings to the pictures, and shared in-depth stories through focus group discussions. The collected data was analyzed according to the three-step analysis method by Wang and Burris(1977): selecting, contextualizing, and codifying.The findings from the three research questions are as follows. First, the difficulties in independence faced by people with disabilities in daily life were manifested as difficulties in accessing and moving space, living tools optimized for the general public, and limitations in daily life services. Second, lifelong education helps people with disabilities to become independent by acquiring skills and knowledge necessary for independence, cultivating social skills through various interactions, increasing self-esteem through opportunities for social participation, and strengthening autonomy for leading a proactive life. Lastly, the direction of lifelong education for the independence of people with disabilities was to strengthen vocational education, provide various educational opportunities for self-management, and expand opportunities for exchange with non-disabled people.

Â  Kaum kapitalis memanfaatkan momen ini dengan menciptakan atau membuat desain kebaya diluar dari ciri khas kebaya Bali. Hal ini dapat dilihat dari munculnya desain kebaya modifikasi yang banyak di tawarkan di pasaran dan menjadi tren. Desain kebaya modifikasi banyak dijual di pasaran, sehingga menyebabkan kaum perempuan ingin tampil trendi dengan busana yang di tawarkan tersebut. Kaum perempuan kontemporer dengan bangga mengenakan kebaya yang trendi di pasaran, Â pada kegiatan Â persembahyangan ke pura. Hal ini mengakibatkan seolah-olah kaum perempuan sudah mulai melupakan etika berbusana untuk ke pura. Â Hal ini tentunya dapat membuat generasi mendatang tidak akan mengetahui dan melupakan ciri khas dari kebaya Bali. Permasalahan dari penelitian ini adalah bagaimana kebaya dijadikan sebagai representasi oleh kaum perempuan di Kota Denpasar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami perkembangan kebaya ke pura, dapat mengubah cara berbusana dan gaya hidup Â perempuan kontemporer. Paradigma representasi dengan pendekatan fenomenologis dan metode kualitatif digunakan pada penelitian ini. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif kualitatif dan interpretatif mempergunakan analisis representasi dan konsumerisme.

Yeh Pulu relief, located in Bedulu Village, Gianyar Regency, is one of the important Balinese visual art work. It serves as a proof of the ultimate artistic achievement in the ancient Balinese kingdom era. It possesses some distinctive characteristics, such as a particular style of figuration, a specific theme, and unique sculptural characters. There are very few articles focusing on this topic. Therefore, there is a need to explore Yeh Pulu relief by conducting an in-depth research. Based on Panofskyâ€™s iconography perspective, this research aims to analyze stylistic figurations of the relief, the theme, the sculptural characters and the meaning of the depiction. Panofskyâ€™s iconography consists of three levels of analysis, i.e. pre-iconography, iconography and iconology. Employing his theory, the first stage of this analysis focuses on the physical characters on the relief; the second stage focuses on the concept of narration; and the third one deals with discourse around the subject of this study. The image of Yeh Pulu relief very clearly reveals the theme of heroism found in the everyday life by ordinary people. The result of this research is defined of the theme is reinforced by the figuration of the reliefâ€™s subjects that tends to be realistic (using the body proportion of a normal adult human) and is complemented by carvings of plant tendrils that are nearly naturalistic in style. The research participants are I Nengah Sudika Negara (data collector), Luh Desi in Diana Sari (layout designer), and Anak Agung Udayana (photographer).Relief Yeh Pulu, lokasi di Desa Bedulu, Kabupaten Gianyar merupakan salah satu karya seni rupa terpenting. Relief ini merupakan pencapaian artistik puncak di era kerajaan Bali Kuna. Selain itu juga memiliki karakter yang khas, seperti gaya figurasi yang khusus, memiliki tema spesifik, dan keunikan pahatan. Sangat sedikit tulisan yang fokus membahas tentang topik ini. Sehingga menjadi penting untuk mengeksplorasi Relief Yeh Pulu melalui riset yang mendalam. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa gaya figurasi, tema, karakter pahatan dan makna dari relief. Melalui pendekatan ikonografi Panofsky, analisis dilakukan melalui tiga tahapan, yakni praikonografi, ikonografi dan ikonologi. Analisis level pertama terfokus pada analisis karakter fisik dari relief; kedua, fokus pada konsep narasi; ketiga, terkait tentang diskursus yang melingkupi subjek kajian. Berdasar analisis tersebut, dapat ditegaskan bahwa relief Yeh Pulu mengungkap tema kepahlawanan dunia sehari-hari orang-orang biasa. Selain itu, dapat disimpulkan pula bahwa secara figurasi relief ini cenderung bersifat realistik (terlihat dari proporsi yang berukuran sama dengan ukuran tubuh manusia dewasa normal), begitu juga dengan pemahatan tentang tetumbuhan yang cenderung bergaya naturalistik. Anggota peneliti di antaranya: I Nengah Sudika Negara (pengumpul data), Luh Desi in Diana Sari (layout desain), dan Anak Agung Udayana (fotografer).

Babad Tanah Jawi is one of the masterpieces of Javanese literature which contains kingdoms story in Java land which have been written in several versions. Javanese scholars deeply hopes that the constructive and forward-minded values contained in the Babad could be disseminated and studied by all levels of society, especially Java, in an easily understandable way and through a media that is close to society's daily, so that Javanese may recognize their original identity and avoid historical conflicts that come from non-primary sources. Therefore, Javanese scholars are very sorry when studies on the Babad always end up in formal writing that can only be accessed by a limited circle (academics). Responding to these problems, this research was carried on the behalf of studying the script text character of the Babad Tanah Jawi and adapt its Asal-muasal Tanah Jawa chapter content (The Origins of the Land of Java) to a screenplay (film script) as an act of salvaging the valuable content of the Babad script to a feature film. This research is presented qualitatively with ‘Adaptation’ method to compose the screenplay. The adaptation is an essential stage in filmmaking since a well-prepared film is largely determined by the quality of its creation guidelines (screenplay). This study resulted in fiction film screenplay. The screenplay is composed based on the hypogram script character of Asal-muasal Tanah Jawa which tends to present the story concisely so that the essence of the adaptation is emphasized on the clarity of the plot. To make each piece of the story in the Babad more logic and connected to each other, it is added some dramatical elements and events that are studied and concluded from external relevant sources of Asal-muasal Tanah Jawa.

This study aims to examine determinants of financial statements quality of central government institutions. There was a change in the implementation of full accrual-based accounting in the Indonesian government in 2015, with an impact on the quality of government financial reporting. This study is a development of previous research using four exogenous determinants, namely organizational commitments, human resources competencies, internal control systems, and the implementation of accrual-based accounting. The testing method employed in this research is quantitative. This research uses a questionnaire as a tool to collect data from respondents. The population in this study was the partner institutions in the State Treasury Office (KPPN) Lhokseumawe. The sample that can be used in this research is 93 respondents. The partial Least Square (PLS) technique was used to analyze data processed using Smart PLS 3.0. The results show that organizational commitment, internal control systems, and the implementation of accrual-based accounting have positive and significant impacts on the financial statements quality of central government institutions. Meanwhile, human resources competencies does not affect government reporting quality

This study analyzes the quarter car braking model to determine the effect of the wheel slip ratio (λ) on  the friction coefficient (µ) during the braking of the car. The friction coefficient reaches a minimum when the slip ratio λ ∼ 1; maximum friction coefficient at the optimal slip ratio value from 0.18 to 0.2. Dynamic Model of the vehicle in the ABS brake study should consider in detail the dynamic aspects of braking and the interaction between the tire and the road profile. CarSim software is used in this study to simulate the braking system of a vehicle operating in industrial plant; Simulation is performed on both cases of ABS and non-ABS braking systems. The results of braking distance, deceleration, and brake pressure are considered and analyzed to select a suitable braking system for the operating conditions of the designed truck.
