TSUNAMI MODELLING PROCEDURES TO REFINE COASTAL ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STRATEGIES AT KUALA MUDA
Authors: Nordin Jestin , Charleson Andrew , Gjerde Morten
Published: December 2018

This paper discusses the use of tsunami modelling to refine the strategies to be used in coastal architectural and planning design works in effort to minimize future tsunami impacts on the coastal buildings. The ability to recreate the characteristics of the 2004 Sumatran Tsunami waves and their impacts is the reason to use computer simulation as the main tool of this research project. The Cornell Multi-Grid Coupled Tsunami Model (COMCOT) programme has been chosen to generate a series of tsunami events onto a one-kilometre-square area of Kuala Muda (north-west of Peninsular Malaysia) coastal area. COMCOT is expected to help practitioners and researchers make the best possible designs for this tsunami-threatened near-beach area. It has the capability to simulate the entire lifespan of a tsunami inclusive of the characteristics and the behaviour of the waves once it inundates the design area. It creates an opportunity to better understand and evaluate the performance of proposed designs in order to achieve the most tsunami-resistant design. The 2004 Sumatran Tsunami waves are considered the worst case scenario this area will experience. Therefore, the waves generated act upon proposed settlement patterns and buildings which are iteratively modified to achieve minimum tsunami damage. COMCOT outputs are used to propose coastal architectural design strategies for present and future nearbeach area developments, especially in the north-western coast of Malaysia. The final Tsunami Responsive Architecture (TRA) design is intended to be culturally acceptable, and to be extended with or without modification to suit other coastal areas at risk of tsunami.

Published: December 2018

The purpose of this paper is to acquire a better understanding of the history, background, process and impact of the restoration of St. Joseph’s Novitiate, and it integration into Gurney Paragon Mall. St. Joseph’s Novitiate has significant historical, architectural, aesthetic, archaeological, spiritual, social, political and economic value, and as such, requires continuous care and preservation. This study explores the perspectives of visitors to the shopping mall, with St. Joseph’s Novitiate having been physically integrated into the mall’s construction, and found that the conservation of heritage buildings was regarded as very important, even when a new development could easily replace the historic building. This is likely a one of a kind study because it involves a modern shopping mall attached to a UNESCO World Heritage Site building. The conservation of historical buildings carries with it a number of environmental, social and cultural impacts. Understanding these impacts is important in terms of trying to determine whether conservation efforts help to maintain the value of the heritage.

Authors: Cetner Jan
Published: December 2018

Celem artykułu jest dokonanie oceny stanu środowiska na terenach wiejskich powiatów województwa mazowieckiego, ponieważ wynik tej oceny jest bardzo pomocny przy wyznaczania kierunków rozwoju i zagospodarowania przestrzennego poszczególnych powiatów i gmin, a także dla inwestorów indywidualnych, szczególnie tych, którzy są zainteresowani turystyką, rekreacją i mieszkalnictwem. Do wykonania takiej oceny wykorzystano 7 wskaźników: ogólne obciążenie środowiska przez stałych mieszkańców, zachowanie szaty roślinnej w formie zbliżonej do naturalnej, zróżnicowanie form użytkowania gruntów, powierzchnię i charakter obszarów chronionych, obciążenie odpadami komunalnymi, obciążenie ściekami bytowymi, stan powietrza atmosferycznego. Obliczenie poszczególnych wskaźników jest dokonywane na podstawie danych liczbowych, pochodzących z Banku Danych Lokalnych GUS lub z programu EMEP. Wartości wskaźników są poddane standaryzacji w skali od 0 do 10, a następnie uśredniane dla poszczególnych powiatów. Wyniki przeprowadzonej analizy pokazują, że stan środowiska w powiatach województwa mazowieckiego jest bardzo zróżnicowany, z wyjątkiem stanu powietrza atmosferycznego. W zakresie każdej z pozostałych 6 cech występują powiaty zarówno o bardzo dobrej, jak i złej ocenie. Uśrednione oceny dla poszczególnych powiatów pokazały, że ogólny stan środowiska w żadnym z powiatów województwa mazowieckiego nie był korzystny na tle sytuacji w Polsce w 2006 roku.
Miasto z różnorodnością. O badaniach warszawsko-praskich
Authors: Korcelli-Olejniczak Ewa
Published: December 2018

Różnorodność społeczna jest dziś coraz bardziej istotnym zagadnieniem w globalnym dyskursie na temat miast i regionów – modnym hasłem odnoszącym się do specyfiki miejskich struktur społeczno-ekonomicznych. Heterogeniczność, która tworzy ‘miasta z innością’ towarzyszy takim zjawiskom jak międzynarodowe migracje, mobilność przestrzenna, postkolonializm, starzenie się społeczeństwa, znaczenie zjawiska merytokracji, występowanie i uznawanie różnicowania się indywidualnych i grupowych tożsamości, indywidualizacja jako cecha tzw. ‘płynnej nowoczesności’ opisywanej przez Z. Baumana. Różnorodność społeczna w mieście to złożone i wielowymiarowe zjawisko, przypisywane tradycyjnie podziałom klasowym i etnicznym, współcześnie obejmuje także wzrastającą kompleksowość indywidualnego i grupowego zachowania, stylów życia oraz wyznawanych wartości. W niniejszym artykule studium przykładowe to Warszawa, a w szczególności Praga-Północ – dzielnica charakteryzująca się degradacją oraz specyficzną różnorodnością społeczną towarzyszącą procesowi rewitalizacji. W analizie przyjęto, że różnorodność to zjawisko nieobojętne w procesie rozwoju dzielnicy, oddziaływające na spójność i mobilność społeczną oraz rozwój lokalnej przedsiębiorczości. Celem artykułu jest odpowiedź na pytania, czy Praga-Północ może stać się alternatywnym sercem dzielnicy – warszawskim Trastevere i jaką rolę odgrywa w tym procesie różnorodność społeczna obszaru.
Stan zachowania i walory krajobrazowe przywodnych zadrzewień topolowych Kanału Żerańskiego – metodologiczne studium przypadku
Authors: Fortuna-Antoszkiewicz Beata , Łukaszkiewicz Jan , Wiśniewski Piotr
Published: December 2018

Kanał Żerański (długości 17,6 km), wybudowany w latach 50. XX w. po utworzeniu Jeziora Zegrzyńskiego, stanowił część planowanej już wcześniej (lata 30. XX w.) drogi wodnej, łączącej Wisłę z Dnieprem. Kanał miał na celu obsługę transportową przyszłych terenów przemysłowych w okolicach portu na Żeraniu, a także skrócenie dystansu z Bugu do warszawskiego odcinka Wisły o około 41 km. Obecnie obszar wzdłuż Kanału Żerańskiego podlega coraz większej presji inwestycyjnej ze względu na bezpośrednie sąsiedztwo Warszawy (część Kanału jest w granicach administracyjnych miasta). W okresie od września 2015 r. do marca 2016 r. wykonano analizy terenowo-studialne w celu określenia wartości przyrodniczo-krajobrazowych miejsca [Fortuna-Antoszkiewicz i in. 2016]. Badania obejmowały szczególnie ocenę dendroflory w ujęciu taksonomicznym, przestrzennym, ilościowym i jakościowym, a także ocenę walorów krajobrazowych oraz stopnia antropopresji. Prace terenowe realizowano na zachodnim brzegu Kanału Żerańskiego, na reprezentatywnym odcinku długości około 10,0 km pomiędzy Rembelszczyzną (gmina Nieporęt) a Portem Żerańskim w Warszawie (dzielnica Białołęka). Na obszarze badań stwierdzono występowanie zanikających komponowanych liniowych form zadrzewień z lat 60. XX w. - rzędów i pasów topól różnych taksonów (część w stadium senilnym), m.in.: Populus ‘NE 49’, Populus xcanadensis Moench ‘Marilandica’, Populus nigra L. ’Italica’, Populus simonii Carrière ‘Fastigiata’. Tego typu zadrzewienia, zakładane wzdłuż śródlądowych dróg wodnych, spełniały ściśle określone funkcje: techniczne (przeciwwietrzne, przeciwerozyjne i inne), biocenotyczne, estetyczne. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań można stwierdzić, że tereny brzegowe Kanału Żerańskiego charakteryzują się wysokimi walorami krajobrazowymi (m.in. występowanie komponowanych, dojrzałych zadrzewień przywodnych). Jest to obszar wyjątkowy pod względem przyrodniczym i kulturowym w skali ponadlokalnej.
Celowość budowy autostrady obwodowej Warszawy
Authors: Wójcicki Tadeusz
Published: December 2018

Wiele dużych miast ma drogowe systemy obwodnicowe, złożone z co najmniej jednej obwodnicy zewnętrznej, najczęściej realizowanej w standardzie autostrady. Zgodnie z aktualnym Programem Budowy Dróg Krajowych (PBDK) do końca 2025 r. powinna zakończyć się budowa wewnętrznej ekspresowej obwodnicy Warszawy (EOW), po czym można byłoby przystąpić do budowy zewnętrznej obwodnicy autostradowej o przebiegu wstępnie wyznaczonym w Koncepcji przestrzennego zagospodarowania kraju (KPZK 2030). Jednak wielu specjalistów nie jest przekonanych o potrzebie budowy takiej autostradowej obwodnicy Warszawy (AOW). Celem niniejszego artykułu jest zbadanie, czy budowa AOW jest celowa, tzn. czy ma sens, jeśli uwzględnić istniejące i przyszłe uwarunkowania przestrzenne, w tym zwłaszcza uwarunkowania transportowe i ekologiczne. Aby ten cel osiągnąć, konieczne jest uprzednie sprecyzowanie lokalizacji tej obwodnicy i określenie przyszłego układu drogowego, z którym AOW mogłaby potencjalnie współpracować. Mając takie dane wejściowe, możliwe będzie wykonanie końcowej analizy przestrzenno-komunikacyjnej, która umożliwi udzielenie odpowiedzi na kluczowe pytanie dotyczące celowości budowy AOW. W wyniku przeprowadzonej analizy ogólnych uwarunkowań przestrzennych i środowiskowych zaproponowano skrócenie długości AOW w stosunku jej przebiegu przedstawionego w KPZK 2030 o około 40 km (czyli o ok. 15%), a tym samym zmniejszenie szacunkowych kosztów budowy AOW z ok. 8,3 mld zł do ok. 7,2 mld zł. W ramach analizy przestrzenno-komunikacyjnej dla tak skorygowanego przebiegu AOW obliczono różnice czasowe w przejazdach tą obwodnicą i trasą przez miasto dla podstawowych średnicowych relacji tranzytowych. Okazało się, że czas przejazdu przez drogowy węzeł warszawski dla tych relacji średnicowych będzie krótszy średnio o 11 minut, jeśli kierowca wybierze AOW zamiast EOW. Oznacza to, że budowa AOW jest celowa, a jej stopień pilności będzie wzrastać w miarę nieuniknionego wzrostu kongestii na EOW. Z przeprowadzonych analiz wynika zatem ogólna rekomendacja o przyjęciu ww. skróconego przebiegu AOW w przyszłych aktualizacjach dokumentów planistycznych i rozwojowych. Konieczna jest zwłaszcza zmiana Rozporządzenia Rady Ministrów w sprawie autostrad i dróg ekspresowych, polegająca na zastąpieniu obecnie zapisanego fragmentu zewnętrznej obwodnicy Warszawy (S10 na odcinku Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki – Wołomin) pełną autostradową obwodnicą Warszawy (A50).
Conceptual Framework of Energy-and-Ecology of Indoor Plant Lighting
Authors: Rakut’ko Sergei A.
Published: December 2018

Abstract.To increase the efficiency of horticulture, the technology of plant cultivation under artificial lighting, i.e. indoor plant lighting, is widely used. The author proposes to expand the range of issues considered in this field and highlight the energy-and-ecology of horticulture (EEH) as a scientific area located at the junction of power engineering and technical subjects, plant physiology, and ecology. (Research purpose) To develop a conceptual framework of the energy-and-ecology of horticulture. (Materials and methods) The object of EEH research is an artificial bioenergetic system of horticulture (ABSH), i.e. a combination of living organisms and technological equipment in a plant growing facility. A mathematical description of the regularities of transferring a substance in horticulture is produced on the basis of a hierarchical model of ABSH. The subject of the EEH study is the regularities of the transformation of matter and energy flows in ABSH. (Results and discussion) The author has determined some specific indicators of energy-ecological compatibility and obtained an expression for determining the energy-ecological coefficient of horticulture through its technological indicators. The paper offers an interpretation of the term "energy-and-ecology of horticulture" as a property of the technological process of plant growing in artificial conditions to meet the requirements of energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. It is shown that an approach based on the concept of best available technologies (BAT) can be applied to the indoor plant lighting. An expression for the quantitative assessment of the energy-ecological parameter in terms of the proximity of the development trajectories of ABSH in a state-space has been obtained. The author proposes an algorithm for BAT forming to be applied in indoor plant lighting. (Conclusions) For the first time, the author raises a question about the development of structural elements of the BAT formation algorithm in lighting horticulture in terms of energy-ecological indicators as an integrative optimality criterion of the system. The author has developed energy audit techniques to optimize the process of plant growing according to the criterion of minimal deviations of energy-ecological performance by varying the lighting parameters, environmental conditions and other factors. Complex implementation of energy- and ecological technologies of indoor plant lighting will allow increasing the efficiency of the production process, reducing the energy intensity while improving the quality of products and ensuring the environmental friendliness of production.
NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF NON-LINEAR VIBRATIONS OF A FRACTIONALLY DAMPED CYLINDRICAL SHELL UNDER THE ADDITIVE COMBINATIONAL INTERNAL RESONANCE
Authors: Ajarmah Basem , Shitikova Marina V.
Published: December 2018

Non-linear damped vibrations of a cylindrical shell subjected to the additive type combinational internal resonance are investigated numerically using two different numerical methods. The damping features of the surrounding medium are described by the fractional derivative Kelvin-Voigt model involving the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives. Within the first method, the generalized displacements of a coupled set of nonlinear ordinary differential are estimated using numerical solution of nonlinear multi-term fractional differential equations by the procedure based on the reduction of the problem to a system of fractional differential equations. According to the second method, the amplitudes and phases of nonlinear vibrations are estimated from the governing nonlinear differential equations describing amplitude-and-phase modulations for the case of the additive combinational internal resonance. A good agreement in results is declared
O que nos diz a máquina de escrever? Notas sobre a escrita de um Brasil moderno
Authors: Martins Bruno Guimarães , Bertol Rachel
Published: December 2018

O artigo dialoga com a história da mídia elaborada por Friedrich Kittler, buscando ampliar as perspectivas teórico-metodológicas para a pesquisa da historicidade nos processos comunicacionais. A partir de casos empíricos brasileiros (material epistolar, artigos de jornal, anúncios), toma-se a máquina de escrever como meio de comunicação escrita que participou de forma relevante da modernização do país na virada do século XIX ao XX. No momento de aparecimento das primeiras mídias técnicas, segundo Kittler, a invenção de um aparelho ambíguo, percebido tanto como ferramenta quanto como tecnologia, propiciou uma nova relação com a escrita e uma mudança na “rede discursiva”, simultaneamente ao impacto de invenções óticas e sonoras, especialmente o filme e o gramofone. Ao considerar as condições técnicas historicamente localizadas para a articulação discursiva buscaremos explorar dilemas próprios da história das mídias em regiões geralmente classificadas como periféricas, como o Brasil.

Authors: Makrlík Emanuel , Vaňura Petr
Published: December 2018

The solvent extraction of microamounts of Eu3+ and Am3+ from water into nitrobenzene by means of a mixture of hydrogen dicarbollylcobaltate (H+B-) and calcium ionophore I (marked as the ligand L) was investigated. The equilibrium data have been explained assuming that the species HL+, HL2 +,ML2 3+ and ML3 3+ (M3+: Eu3+ or Am3+) are extracted into the organic phase. The extraction and stability constants of the cationic complex species in nitrobenzene saturated with water have been determined and discussed. It was proven experimentally that the ligand L could be considered as a very strong receptor for Eu3+ and Am3+.

Published: December 2018

This study represents a new strategy for discrimination of 59 samples of various cold-pressed, virgin and refined edible vegetable oils according to the corresponding botanical origin. Samples were produced from 17 plant species: olive, sunflower, safflower, flax, pumpkin, sesame, hemp, walnut, hazelnut, almond, grape, black cumin, apricot, plum, soybean, wheat and rapeseed. A GC/MS device performing in a ion current (IC) mode, combined with multivariate clustering, was employed in the analysis. Derivatization reaction occurred in the injector of a gas chromatograph. The discriminations between species were based on marker-peaks of 9 molecular ions of dominant fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), which were chosen as descriptors: m/z 268, 270, 292, 294, 296, 298, 324, 326 and 354. Dendrogram obtained after performing cluster analysis shows clear discriminations of the analyzed samples, based on the belonging botanical origin. These results demonstrate that IC-GC/MS approach with cluster analysis could be a useful tool in rapid screening for botanical origin of commercial samples of various edible vegetable oils.

Published: December 2018

Background/Aim. Obesity status can be assessed with numerous anthropometric, morphological and functional indices and this study was designed to assess relationship among them. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between anthropometric indices, ultrasonography measurement of visceral and subcutaneous fat tissue thickness and certain proinflammatory adipokines level. Methods. This cross-sectional study comprised a consecutive sample of 60 obese respondents without obesity-related comorbidities, and 20 age-matched healthy normal-weight controls. Anthropometric [body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), neck circumference (NC), body fat, a body shape index (ABSI)], and ultrasonographic indices [thickness of intraabdominal fatt tissue (IAFT), visceral fat (VF), maximum subcutaneous fat (Max SFT), minimal subcutaneous fat (Min SFT)], and serum levels of chemerin and resistin were assessed in all subjects. Results. All anthropometric indices showed statistically significant differences between study groups. The mean IAFT, Max SFT, Min SFT and VF were significantly higher in the obese group compared to controls (p < 0.01, for all). Serum levels of chemerin and resistin correlated positively with BMI, percentage of fat adipose tissue (FAT, %), total FAT (kg), and VF (p < 0.05, for all). Also, we observed significant correlation between resistin and NC (r = 0.23, p = 0.03) and ABSI (r = 0.22, p = 0.04). In multivariable linear regression analysis, chemerin (? = 0.23; p = 0.008) and resistin (? = 0.43; p =0.002) were independently and significantly associated only with VF. Conclusion. Obesity indices, both classical and newer ones, are in positive, statistically significant correlation with the level of proinflammatory cytokines. Ultrasonographically measured VF thickness, independently associated with adipokine levels, may improve assessment of proinflammatory fat tissue characteristics. Further studies are needed to precisely define the use of ultrasonographic fat tissue measurements into clinical practice.

Background/Aim. Aneurysm rupture followed by sub-arachnoid or intracerebral haemorrhage is always current topic and poses a great challenge to neurosurgeons. The aim of the study was to establish whether applying temporary occlusion before placing a final clip was justified. Methods. A prospective study was conducted on patients with aneurysm rupture, treated at Neurosurgical Clinic in Nis from January 2012 to December 2016. Patients belonging to I and II and 1, 2 and 3 grades according to the Hunt-Hess grading system and Fisher scale, respectively, were monitored. Results. In 85, out of total 182 bleeding aneurysms that were treated, a neurosurgeon decided to apply temporary clipping before placing the final clip. Temporary occlusion significantly influenced the presence of resulting neuro-logical deficit. Conclusion. The application of temporary occlusion facilitates placing the final clip but also affects the occurrence of neurological deficits. It is assumed that this is a consequence of caused vasospasm, considering that these are bleeding aneurysms.

Published: December 2018

A simple spectrophotometric method was used to determine the phosphate content in the water sampels. The method is based on the formation of molybdenum blue complex from the reaction of orthophosphate and ammonium molybdate followed by reduction with ascorbic acid in the aqueous sulfuric acid medium. The color intensity of the molybdenum blue complex is proportionally to the phosphate content in the solution. The system obeys Lamber-Beerâ€™s Law at the 890 nm in the concentration range of 0.1-1 mg P/L and the linier calibration graph was obtained with the slope, 0.6334, intercept, 0.0074 and correlation coefficient of 0.9988. This official method was also used for the quantitative analysis of phosphate in the water samples and the satisfactory result was obtained. The range of phosphate concentration in the water samples are 0.033 â€“ 2.943 mg P/L.

Tarkastelemme tässä artikkelissa kokemuksellisen oppimisen hyödyntämistä osana käsityön aineenopettajaksi opiskelevien muotoilupedagogiikkaa. Tuomme kahden tapauksen avulla näkyviin kokemusten työstämistä ja hyväksikäyttöä erilaisissa käsityön suunnittelu- ja valmistusprosesseissa. Tavoitteina kokemuksellisuutta painottavassa pedagogiikassamme ovat pelkistettynä 1. käyttää kokemusta suunnittelun apuvälineenä sekä 2. ohjata opiskelija tekemään itselleen merkityksellisiä tuotteita ja tiloja sekä 3. vahvistaa omaa ja yhteistä identiteettiä ja opiskelijan pedagogista ajattelua. Tarkastelemme ilmiötä empiiristen aineistojen pohjalta ja kysymme, kuinka opettajaksi opiskelevien omia kokemuksia voitaisiin muuttaa voimavaraksi erilaisissa suunnittelu projekteissa niin yksilön omassa kuin yhteisöllisessä kasvussa? Aineistosta nostamme esimerkkejä, jotka valaisevat tavoitteitamme kokemuksellisen oppimisen hyödyntämiseen.
Laulunopettajien yleisimmin käyttämät laulupedagogiset käsitteet
Authors: Aura Maarit , Laukkanen Anne-Maria , Ojala Juha
Published: December 2018

Laulunopetukseen kuuluu lukuisia käsitteitä, jotka perustuvat laulajien subjektiivisiin kokemuksiin. Terminologia ei ole yhtenäistä ja yksiselitteistä, mikä vaikeuttaa niin pedagogien ja opiskelijoiden välistä kuin myös laulajien ja opettajien keskinäistä kommunikaatiota. Tämän kyselytutkimuksen tarkoitus on kartoittaa laulunopettajien yleisimmin käyttämiä laulupedagogisia käsitteitä ja mielikuvia, jotta jatkotutkimuksella voitaisiin etsiä niiden akustisia ja fysiologisia vasteita. Kyselytutkimus toteutettiin yliopiston e-lomakkeella, jonka palautti 83 laulunopettajaa. Tutkimustulosten mukaan tärkeimpänä pidetty laulupedagoginen käsite oli hengitystuki. Muita tärkeinä pidettyjä käsitteitä olivat nielutila, äänen kärki tai ydin, resonanssi ja inhalare la voce. Laulunopettajien eniten käyttämät pedagogiset mielikuvat olivat hämmästys ja sisäinen hymy.
Performance and Economic Analysis of Multi-Rotor Wind Turbine
Authors: Sandhu Navjot Singh , Chanana Saurabh
Published: December 2018

Power production of a wind turbine is dependent upon its rotor size and at present wind turbines with large rotor diameter (>175 m) are available in the market. However major problems associated with such large size conventional turbines are their cost & noise pollution. Due to these reason researchers have diverted their attention towards lower sized equivalent multi-rotor wind turbines. These turbines are found to be cheaper and good performers. Keeping it in view, in this paper an effort has been made to compare the energy yield and economics of two types of wind turbines i.e. single rotor & multi rotor wind turbine. Power, energy and cost models as proposed are used to determine the annual energy yield and economics of multi-rotor turbines. Simulation results as presented in this paper justify the suitability of multi-rotor wind turbine in place of single rotor configuration. Such turbines deliver more energy yield with low installation cost in contrast to single rotor turbines.

A violência é um fenômeno com profundas raízes históricas, e que impacta de forma mais contundente as populações mais fragilizadas socioeconomicamente. Visando intervir junto a esse fenômeno, têm sido construídas políticas públicas nas mais diversas áreas - saúde, educação, lazer, assistência social, entre outras. Nesta pesquisa, utilizando de metodologia qualitativa, investigamos como uma ONG que atende crianças no período do contraturno escolar lida com a violência, buscando compreender como a psicologia pode ajudar nesse processo. Percebeu-se que a violência se faz presente no cotidiano institucional, sendo banalizada e vista como algo natural; no entanto, a instituição assume papel importante para o combate à mesma, pois cria espaços nos quais favorece a reflexão e a abertura ao diálogo com a população, sendo a atuação do psicólogo importante para desconstruir discursos que perpetuam as situações de violência presentes tanto na narrativa da população atendida quanto na da equipe institucional.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o papel do Conselho Municipal de Educação de Iperó (C.M.E./Iperó/SP) diante do trinômio qualidade, gestão democrática e participação, em relação ao sistema educacional do município na percepção dos conselheiros. Orientado metodologicamente por meio da pesquisa qualitativa, utilizou-se de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Foram realizadas cinco entrevistas aplicadas aos conselheiros estas foram gravadas e depois transcritas, e, para a análise dos dados, recorreu-se à técnica de análise de conteúdo. Depreende-se que o C.M.E./Iperó/SP é entendido como órgão fundamental no processo de gestão democrática do sistema educacional do município. Conforme os conselheiros, houve alguns avanços nesse processo, mas ressaltam os passos largos que precisam ser dados nesse sentido, uma vez que o C.M.E./Iperó/SP vem se estruturando e tenta vencer os obstáculos impostos por uma cultura até certo ponto antidemocrática dentro do sistema educacional.

O objetivo deste estudo foi o de analisar as percepções dos membros pertencentes ao Conselho Municipal de Educação de Piedade/SP (C.M.E.P.) quanto à gestão democrática, qualidade e participação no contexto da comunidade da referida cidade. A metodologia utilizada foi a abordagem qualitativa por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Foram entrevistados 3 membros do C.M.E.P. As entrevistas foram gravadas em áudio com aparelho celular totalizando 2 entrevistas e 1 registro escrito. A pesquisa revelou questões e embates que são vivenciados neste colegiado, por meio do alto nível de resistência percebidos nas devolutivas das entrevistas e um acesso reduzido aos membros do conselho para a coleta de dados. Notadamente observa-se que a construção de uma consciência democrática e participação nos conselhos são eixos necessários na realidade estudada, logo, as estratégias e mecanismos utilizados pelo C.M.E.P. para inferir na educação do município são insuficientes e pouco delimitadas.
Exchange-traded products in Germany: development and substitution of exchange-traded funds, exchange-traded commodities and exchange-traded notes
Authors: Marszk Adam
Published: December 2018

Research background: Exchange-traded products (ETPs) are one of the most rapidly growing categories of financial products. Their fast development has been boosted by innovative features. Three main categories of ETPs are exchange-traded funds (ETFs), exchange-traded commodities (ETCs) and exchange-traded notes (ETNs). ETCs and ETNs remain least known, even though their number on some stock exchanges is high. In Europe, Germany is one of the largest and most active ETPs markets. ETCs and ETNs are debt instruments, in contrast with the most popular ETFs, which are equity securities. Therefore, they offer investors different advantages, but also expose them to other types of risks.

Purpose of the article: The key aim of the article is to present the features of ETPs and to provide in-depth insight into the issues linked with the development of ETPs market in Germany, with the special emphasis on the ETCs and ETNs.

Methods: In the main empirical part of the article, German ETPs market is analyzed using descriptive statistics and technological substitution framework (employed for the analysis of innovations in order to evaluate the changing market shares of, first, ETFs versus ETCs and ETNs, as well as, second, ETFs versus other types of investment funds). The period of the analysis is 2010?2016 in the former case and 2007?2016 in the latter.

Findings & Value added: Share of ETPs other than ETFs in the total market in Germany remains low. Even though the market position of the leading products, i.e. ETFs, is still very strong, some substitution has been observed, especially after 2015. Predictions indicate that this trend will continue in the upcoming years. The results of the analysis of the investment funds? market confirm the substitution between ETFs and traditional investment funds over 2007?2017, in particular in the first years of this time period.
Trade interdependence between Russia vs. the European Union and China within the context of the competitiveness of the Russian economy
Authors: Falkowski Krzysztof
Published: December 2018

Research background: The position of a country in the international division of labour is determined by the competitiveness of its trade, the structure of which may both reveal and perpetuate the comparative advantages possessed. This is particularly true for Dutch disease economies such as Russia. Recently, economic literature has seen a growing interest in the topic of Russia?s economic relations with the European Union and China. This article is aimed at being the Author?s contribution to this discussion.

Purposes of the article: (1) to discuss the existing trade interdependence between Russia and the EU28, and Russia and China; (2) to try to assess the extent to which the current structure of Russian trade with these two partners corresponds with the competitiveness of the Russian economy.

Methods: An in-depth analysis of Russia-EU28 and Russia-China trade interdependencies in 2007-2015 has been conducted, with emphasis on the categories of goods within the spectrum from low- to high-technology, according to the OECD classification. Furthermore, in order to analyse Russia?s competitive profile with regard to the same categories of goods, Balassa?s methodology of revealed comparative advantages has been applied.

Findings & Value added: In the recent years, a growing importance of China in Russian trade turnover can be observed, being the effect of dynamic growth of Chinese economy, cooling political relations between Moscow and Brussels and the drop in oil prices in international markets. The existing structure of Russian trade with the EU28 and China seems likely to preserve its traditional competitive advantages in the medium-low-technology goods and oil, which, in turn, will only further exacerbate the negative consequences of the so-called Dutch disease affecting the Russian economy.
Earnings management in the private equity divestment process on Warsaw Stock Exchange
Authors: Sosnowski Tomasz
Published: December 2018

Research background: Prior studies suggest that companies which go public manage earnings in order to inflate the issue price. However, for private equity funds the use of such activity can be costly in terms of the reputation capital as they are repetitive stock market players. The results of previous research on the effect of private equity fund on the quality of pre-IPO reported earnings are mixed and inconclusive.

Purpose of the article: The main aim of the study is to empirically investigate the use of pre-IPO earnings management by private equity funds in the process of divestment conducted on a stock exchange.

Methods: I provide comparisons between PE-backed companies and firms with a similar initial market value and growth potential, using the method of single-linkage clustering to build the study sample. In order to assess the scale of pre-IPO earnings management, I apply the discretionary accruals model of Larcker and Richardson [2004].

Findings & Value added: Using a sample of companies conducting IPO on WSE between 2005 and 2015 I do not find evidence that the presence of private equity fund among the shareholders of the company in the period preceding first listing of shares on a stock market constrains the use of earnings management prior to the IPO. The difference between the discretionary accruals in PE-backed and matched companies, when controlling for the market value and book-to-market ratio, is statistically insignificant. To be specific, companies with private equity funds in their shareholder structure do not exhibit lower scale of earnings management prior to the IPO in comparison to other new stock companies.
Multiple-criteria analysis of regional entrepreneurship conditions in Poland
Authors: Rogalska Elżbieta
Published: December 2018

Research background: Building effective conditions for doing business and sup-porting entrepreneurs is currently considered as a basic growth determinant. It is a policy objective not only at the national level, but also an important factor influencing the competitive potential of regions and local communities. It is especially important in the case of Central European countries and regions that face the problem of closing development gap. Therefore, comparative research with regard to entrepreneurship conditions, especially at spatially lower aggregation level, can provide important background for proposing policy guidelines.    

Purpose of the article: The main objective of the article is to analyse changes in disparities in regard to entrepreneurship conditions in Poland at NUTS 3 level in the years 2010 and 2015.

Methods: The entrepreneurship conditions are analysed based on 5 criteria. As a result, they are considered as a multiple-criteria phenomenon. Therefore, in the article the dynamic analysis was implemented, where taxonomic measure of development was assessed with TOPSIS method based on median vector Weber. The obtained taxonomic measure allowed to rank the NUTS 3 regions starting with the ones characterised with the best conditions for entrepreneurs to the ones with the worst conditions, to group then into relatively homogenous subsets, and finally to verify the changes in the disparities between the regions in the analysed period.

Findings & Value added: The research confirms that in spite of visible improvements significant disparities at the regional level in regard to entrepreneurial conditions should be considered as an actual and important problem for regional policy in Poland. This factor can negatively affect the possibilities of reaching spatially sustainable growth objectives. From the long-term perspective, the disparities can still negatively affects social and political growth environment in Poland.
Sales range and innovative activity in the manufacturing system of Poland
Authors: Świadek Arkadiusz
Published: December 2018

Research background: In the literature, there is a discussion on the importance of the spatial distance from the user in the context innovation activity. However, most of this kind of studies concentrate on exporting enterprises and compare them to domestic ones. Exporting activity is very important for catching-up countries, because of technology transfer in its background.

Purpose of the article: The aim of this paper is to determine whether the innovative activity in Poland?s manufacturing system is a consequence of close interactions (local and regional), or perhaps conditioned by the imperative of functioning on the national and international market. The main hypothesis was that on the current development level of Poland, the relationship between the range of sales and innovation activities are different from those in the more developed countries.

Methods: Empirical studies was created in 2006?2012 as a result of the systematic collection of questionnaires filled by manufacturing enterprises in Poland from all regions (5209 correct fulfilled questionnaires). Methodical analysis was based on the theory of probability ? probit modeling, because dependent variables were binary (0 or 1).

Findings & Value added: Local and regional space is not stimulating innovation activity in opposite to national one. High intensity observed only when the company has been working on the international market. It means that the industry maturity level in Poland is good enough for creating a domestic innovation environment. This kind of an aggregation level should be stimulated by the government innovation policy.
