Pay Transparency and Labor Market Justice
Authors: Halliday Daniel
Published: October 2021

I argue that a general initial case for pay transparency can be made given the role played by transparency of information about prices in bringing markets closer to the ideal of competition or equilibrium price. This initial case might then be limited or enhanced depending on more specific considerations about the status of information about pay in particular. Privacy considerations seem to count against pay transparency, but I argue here that the context of pay information lacks some features present in other contexts in which appeals to privacy have force. Building on work by Estlund, Moriarty, Caulfield, and others, I argue that pay transparency may be favoured by considerations relating to personal autonomy in labour markets. Finally, I argue that pay transparency may contribute towards the realization of conditions of publicity, particularly relating to the value of citizens’ assurance about each other’s tax compliance.
Equality and Anti-Discrimination Legislation: An Uneasy Relationship
Authors: Thornton Margaret
Published: October 2021

Despite the rhetoric of equality that infuses anti-discrimination legislation, a close analysis reveals that it is in-equality that is invariably privileged. With reference to the Australian example, this introductory article will show how the paradox is played out at multiple sites in terms of both form and substance, such as through the individualism and confidentiality of the complaint-based mechanism. A striking exclusion from the legislation is the attribute of class, the most significant manifestation of social inequality, which remains ineffable even when it significantly shapes other attributes. The prevailing political backdrop of neoliberalism plays a significant role in promoting inequality through competition policy and profit maximisation. Powerful corporations not only endeavour to resist transparency, but they also tend to oppose proactive measures in favour of substantive equality. The contradictions of anti-discrimination legislation thereby sustain in-equality while simultaneously espousing the rhetoric of equality.
Positive Equality Duties: The Future of Equality and Transparency?
Authors: Blackham Alysia
Published: October 2021

Transparency is a radical expectation in the context of equality law. In a system highly dependent on individual enforcement, the lack of transparency in the treatment of individual claims dramatically limits the potential of equality law to achieve systemic change. Overcoming discrimination that is systemic, embedded, and pervasive requires moving beyond confidential mechanisms for addressing discrimination. Given that the implementation of workplace equality law occurs in practice at the organisational level, there is a growing need to focus on what employers are actually doing to achieve equality, and how their practices are accountable to those affected and the broader community.
Book Review: Jelena Madir (Ed.), Healthtech Law and Regulation
Authors: Kanij Fatima
Published: October 2021

While telemedicine and M Health Apps have been credited with increasing life expectancy and quality of life, the Coronavirus pandemic has illustrated many challenges in the efficient application of healthcare technology. For example, digitisation has been a successful addition to healthcare services but has also brought new and unforeseen problems such as outdated anti-virus or anti-malware software issues. Healthtech Law and Regulation addresses these new challenges, providing an overview of international treaties and European Union (EU) directives and regulations, as well as domestic European and United States (US) legislation; identifying gaps in existing laws and policies. Though primarily covering EU and US health law and regulation, this edited collection will be of interest to regulators and researchers in all jurisdictions.

Layout changes in the textbook for learning English and their influence on the dyslexic students’ work effectiveness – an eye-tracking analysis
Authors: Andrychowicz-Trojanowska Agnieszka
Published: October 2021

The aim of the following article is to present the results of the second part of an eye-tracking study conducted on Polish secondary school students working with a textbook for learning English. Because of the fact that almost every group of school students consists of both dyslexic and non-dyslexic ones and that all of them use the same textbooks, we wanted to examine if we can adjust the textbook for learning English in such a way as to influence (i.e. improve) the way the students work with it. To check it we used a real-existing layout of a textbook page and its changed version and checked how dyslexic and nondyslexic students worked with them.

In the article we present the eye-tracking parameters for so called areas of interest as well as correctness of the answers which is a nonoculomotor parameter.
THE FUTURE OF SHEEP BREEDING IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTENSIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Authors:   FSBSI «North Caucasus Federal Agrarian Research Centre», BOBRYSHOVA G.T.
Published: October 2021

The article analyzes and identifi es problematic points on the way of development of domestic sheep breeding. The cost-eff ective development of sheep breeding depends on many factors: correctly selected zoned sheep breeds, the maintenance system, the feed base, breeding work carried out on the farm, mechanization and automation of technological processes, etc. A step-by-step review of the formation and development of one of the most important branches of animal husbandry – sheep breeding, showed that even in the period 1960-1990 last century, it was industrial and profi table, but by 2000, due to the situation that arose, there was a reduction in the number of sheep and the liquidation of many farms. The number of sheep and goats by 2000, in comparison with 1990, amounted to 25.4% and in subsequent years did not recover to the previous level. Summarizing the achievements of the past years,their detailed analysis, illustrations of individual zootechnical and technological processes that clearly demonstrate the possibility of successful, effi cient and industrial sheep breeding, the use of this experience at this time will contribute to the stable and eff ective development of the industry and the elimination of the identifi ed problems.

Authors: YENİSU Ersin , TIRAŞ Zeynep , SAYGIN Oğuz
Published: October 2021

Finansal piyasalarda türev ürün kullanımının amacı riski transfer etmek ya da riski yönetmektir. Türev araçlar özellikle son yıllarda finans sektöründe yoğunlukla kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Türkiye’de ise finansal sistemin en önemli unsuru olan bankalar da fon yönetiminde türev ürün kullanımını arttırmışlardır. Dolayısıyla türev ürün kullanımını belirleyen faktörlerin tespit edilmesi bankacılık sektörü için önem kazanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de bankaların gerçekleştirdikleri türev piyasa işlemlerinin hangi finansal ve makroekonomik değişkenlerle ilişkili olduğunu belirlemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çalışmada kullanılan yöntemler korelasyon analizi ve ARDL sınır testidir. Analizde incelenen dönem ise aylık verilerden oluşan 2005:1-2021:2’dir. Yapılan tahminlere göre bankalar özellikle aktif büyüklüğü arttıkça türev araç kullanımını arttırmaktayken; risk (finansal risk ve döviz kuru riski) arttıkça da türev araç kullanımı artmaktadır. Diğer taraftan türev araç kullanımı arttıkça bankaların öz sermaye karlılığı da azalmaktadır. Bunun sebebi ise yatırılan sermayenin alternatif maliyeti olabilir.

Published: October 2021

Większość badań nad relacjami retoryki i lingwistyki uwzględnia przede wszystkim perspektywę treści, tj. nakładające się obszary tematyczne obu dyscyplin jako podstawę badań interdyscyplinarnych z ich udziałem. W artykule przyjęto natomiast perspektywę form połączenia między dyscyplinami. Przedmiotem badania są głównie mikroformy połączeń między dyscyplinami, widoczne w konkretnych tekstach, ujęte na tle takich makroform, jak m.in. interdyscyplinarność. Proponowany model pokazuje szersze zagadnienie łączliwości retoryki z innymi dyscyplinami, interesujące w kontekście często nierównego poziomu wykształcenia formalnego badaczy w dyscyplinach, które łączą: jedną nabywają bowiem formalnie, w procesie studiów, drugą – zazwyczaj retorykę – nieformalnie, w procesie własnego dokształcania akademickiego. W artykule została zaadaptowana taksonomia Blooma (1956), dotycząca sposobów osiągania celów poznawczych w trakcie uczenia się, w omawianym wypadku dotyczącego interdyscyplinarnego ujmowania omawianych zagadnień. Dzięki niej, wykorzystując fragmenty konkretnych tekstów, można uzyskać wgląd w proces łączenia retoryki z lingwistyką z perspektywy samych autorów podejmujących badania interdyscyplinarne.

Von Braun’s background was reflected through the edutainment of three Disneyland episodes, and Tikhonravov was unique in his association with Soviet popular science magazines. Their personal interests in relation to their work could also be shown through their interactions with the public sphere.
An Age of Transition: Restaging Brecht’s Encounter with Beijing Opera
Authors: Dunch Jonah
Published: October 2021

The scene is Moscow, 1935. A who’s who of the European avant-garde has gathered to see the work of their foremost Chinese colleague: the Beijing opera master Mei Lanfang. Among them is the German playwright Bertolt Brecht, who sees in Mei’s performances the aesthetic effect he aims to develop in his own work: an effect he will soon call the ‘alienation effect.’ In 1936, Brecht pens his famous essay “On Chinese Acting,” in which he argues—approvingly—that Chinese theatre alienates the actor and audience from a play’s narrative by smashing the fourth wall and championing symbolism over realism. But did Brecht get it right? In this essay, I examine this remarkable episode in global theatre history. I argue that Brecht misunderstood Beijing opera’s theatre aesthetics, yet nonetheless meaningfully engaged with Chinese culture. A renewed encounter between Brechtian theatre and Beijing opera, I suggest, opens up intriguing possibilities in dramatic performance and theatre aesthetics.
Assimilation Tactics: Indigenous Women, the Politics of Birth, and the Colonization of Bodies on the Canadian Prairies During the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries
Authors: Parkkila Colby
Published: October 2021

Colonialism is a highly gendered process whose effects are disproportionately felt by women, and within the context of the settler state of Canada, by Indigenous women. The imposition of Euro-Canadian gender norms upon Indigenous Peoples by the settler Canadian government was driven by an explicit goal of assimilation. Consequently, Indigenous women have had their important positions within their communities as matriarchs, elders, midwives, healers, and other positions of significance undermined. While there are numerous dimensions to the Canadian government’s attempt to force Indigenous women into subservient gender roles, this paper is a historical analysis that focuses on the government’s attempt to exert control over the bodies and sexuality of Indigenous women, alongside restrictions placed upon Indigenous women that limited their ability to pursue midwifery following the introduction of the Indian Act in 1876.

Authors: Tepale-Cortés Arturo , Moreno-Saavedra Hilda , Hernández-Tenorio Celso , Rojas-Ramírez Teresa , Illescas Javier
Published: October 2021

Abstract. In the present paper, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were synthesized by arc discharge method by vaporizing graphite rods in the presence of Ni and a Ni/Y mixture as catalysts for subsequent use in electrical energy storage and conversion devices. CNTs synthesis was carried out in a cylindrical glass reactor applying a controlled Argon flow of 1.43 cm3/min and a chamber pressure of 39 kPa. Carbon powder was collected from the reactor following chemical treatment with HCl solution at 1 M to remove the metallic impurities. Morphology obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed multi-walled nanotubes (MWCNTs) with amorphous carbon particles attached to their surface. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra presented bands at 1550 and 1200 cm–1 corresponding to the C=C bond characteristic to the CNTs skeleton; these bands were not present in pristine graphite. Electromagnetic absorbance was observed using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) showing peaks at 204 and 256 nm related to sp2 hybridization characteristic for MWCNTs.
 
Resumen. En el presente trabajo se sintetizaron nanotubos de carbono (NTCs) por el método de descarga de arco mediante la vaporización de barras de grafito en presencia de Ni y una mezcla de Ni/Y como catalizadores para su posterior uso en dispositivos de almacenamiento y conversión de energía eléctrica. La síntesis de NTCs se realizó en un reactor cilíndrico de vidrio aplicando un flujo controlado de Argón de 1.43 cm3/min y una presión de cámara de 39 kPa. El polvo de carbón se recolectó del reactor y se trató químicamente con una solución de HCl a 1 M para eliminar las impurezas metálicas. La morfología obtenida por microscopía electrónica de barrido (MEB) y microscopía electrónica de transmisión (MET) mostró nanotubos de paredes múltiples (NTCPMs) con partículas de carbón amorfo adheridas a su superficie. Los espectros de infrarrojo transformada de Fourier (FT-IR) mostraron bandas en 1550 y 1200 cm–1 que corresponden al enlace C=C característico de los NTCs; estas bandas no estuvieron presentes en el grafito prístino. La absorbancia electromagnética se observó mediante espectroscopia ultravioleta-visible (UV-Vis) mostrando picos a 204 y 256 nm relacionadas con la hibridación sp2 característica de los NTCPMs.

Published: October 2021

The study analyzes the SME development regional trends in terms of key indicators. Using K-means clustering techniques, 4 groups were identified. Data show that the largest gap between the most and least developed clusters is observed in terms of spending on business innovation expenditures per capita, at the same time the average wage is the most consistent indicator. The obtained results allow to form recommendations for the intensification of innovation and investment development of small and medium-sized businesses, taking into account regional specifics. The set of recommendations was divided into financial and non-financial support measures. It is proposed to use mainly direct support aimed at stimulating individual projects for more developed regions, while for less developed regions it is advisable to use indirect tools. Non-financial support measures should be aimed primarily at eliminating institutional and systemic failures in business.

Authors:   State University «Uzhhorod National University», Piasetska-Ustych Svitlana
Published: October 2021

The article considers theoretical and methodological basis of corruption as a systemic problem. Corruption is analyzed as a complex socio-economic phenomenon, its main types are studied, the main approaches in economic theory to the interpretation of the concept of corruption are systematized, the causes of corrupt economic relations are clarified. Specific factors that determine the development of corruption and its consequences in the socio-economic system of society are studied. The study analyzes causes of corruption and shadow economic relations in Ukrainian economy, it shows that the shadow activity of market participants leads to negative socio-economic consequences for the state and society: it destructs competition, distorts the market mechanism, tax and monetary system, has a negative impact on the state of public finances. Shadow processes cause significant deformations of the social sphere. The analysis allows us to conclude that corruption-shadow relations are systemic problems of national economy development, which are not only a threat to national security, but also create a multiplicative negative impact on socio-economic system of society.
THE STATE IN THE SYSTEM OF PROTECTING NATIONAL INTERESTS
Authors:   Free-lance, Shedyakov Vladimir
Published: October 2021

Optimizing transformations during the transition period requires the use of the entire multilateral system of mechanisms to protect national interests. The state occupies an essential place, in particular, the establishment of forms of public-private partnership in coordinating diverse initiatives and creative searches. At the same time, on the one hand, the independence and security of development force them to predominantly rely on their own forces. On the other hand, the refusal to unify the social structure (in particular, statehood) makes it easier to increase efficiency, flexibility and adaptability while maintaining loyalty to national foundations and traditions. The two most noticeable trends in the transformation of the state structure are the strengthening of totalitarian-corporate characteristics or features of democracy. Accordingly, the depersonalization of responsibility – or its embodiment in specific leaders is realizing. At the same time, as you know, selection and promotion in the corporate sector has nothing to do with democracy. And the processes of pathologizing political and economic life may imply a departure from general, direct, secret and equal elections to senior government positions, and include broad manipulative capabilities of the media sphere.

The objective of this work is to assess the capability of multispectral optical Landsat and Sentinel images to detect oil palm plantations in Rokan Hulu, Riau, one of the largest palm oil producers in Indonesia, by combining multispectral bands and composite indices. In addition to comparing two different sets of satellite images, we also ascertain which gives the best performance among the supervised machine learning classifiers CART Decision Tree, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and Naive Bayes. With the use of multispectral bands and derived composite indices, the best classifier achieved an overall accuracy of up to 92%. The findings and contributions of the study include: (1) insight into a set of feature combinations that provides the highest model accuracy, and (2) an extensive evaluation of machine learning-based classifiers on two different optical satellite imageries. Our study could further be beneficial for the government in providing more scalable plantation statistics.
MACHINE LEARNING APPLIED TO SENTINEL-2 AND LANDSAT-8 MULTISPECTRAL AND MEDIUM-RESOLUTION SATELLITE IMAGERY FOR THE DETECTION OF RICE PRODUCTION AREAS IN NGANJUK, EAST JAVA, INDONESIA
Authors: Devara Terry , Wijayanto Arie Wahyu
Published: October 2021

Statistics Indonesia (BPS) has been introducing the use of Area Sampling Frame (ASF) surveys from 2018 to estimate rice production areas, although the process continues to suffer from the high costs of human and other resources. To support this type of conventional field survey, a more scalable and inexpensive approach using publicly-available remote sensing data, for example from the Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 satellites, has been explored. In this research, we compare the performance gain from Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 images using a multiple composite-index enriched machine learning classifier to detect rice production areas located in Nganjuk, East Java, Indonesia as a case study area. We build a detection model from a set of machine learning classifiers, Decision Tree (CART), Support Vector Machine, Logistic Regression, Ensemble Bagging Methods (Random Forest and Extra Trees), and Ensemble Boosting Methods (AdaBoost and XGBoost). The composite indices consist of the NDVI and EVI for agricultural and forest areas, NDWI for water and cloud, and NDBI, NDTI, and BSI for built-up areas, fallows, and asphalt-based roads. Validated by k-fold cross-validation, Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 achieved F1-scores of 0.930 and 0.919 respectively at the scale of 30 meters per pixel. Using a 10 meter resolution per pixel for the Sentinel-2 imagery showed an increased F1-score of up to 0.971. Our evaluation shows that the higher spatial resolution imagery of Sentinel-2 achieves a better prediction, not only performance-wise, but also as a better representation of actual conditions.
FISHING BOAT DISTRIBUTION ESTABLISHED BY COMPARING VMS AND VIIRS DATA AROUND THE ARU ISLANDS IN MALUKU INDONESIA
Authors: Van Beek Ruben , Lumban Gaol Jonson , Agus Syamsul Bahri
Published: October 2021

Marine protected areas (MPAs) and no take zones (NTZs) are essential for the preservation of marine ecosystems. However, these important areas can be severely harmed by illegal fishing. All vessels above 30 gross tons are required to use vessel monitoring systems (VMSs) that enable vessel tracking by sending geographic data to satellites in each specific time period. The Visible Infrared Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is a sensor on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-20 satellite that can detect the light-emitting diode (LED) light used by fishing vessels from space during the night time. In this research, VMS and VIIRS fishery data were combined in order to identify fishing vessels that were detected by the VIIRS sensor of the NOAA-20 satellite. The research was focused on an area near the Aru Islands in the Arafura Sea in Indonesia. Data on LED light used by the fishing techniques of purse seine and bouke ami were obtained for the whole of 2018. The data were then processed using R software. An R package called LLFI (LED Light Fisheries Identifier) was created, containing several R-functions that calculate VMS vessel position during satellite overpass time and then combine the VMS and VIIRS data attributes, resulting in a dataset comprising vessels identified from the VIIRS dataset. Out of all the estimated VMS fishing vessel positions during the VIIRS satellite overpass, approximately 51% could be assigned to fishing vessels detected from the VIIRS dataset. For bouke ami, the identification rate was approximately 87%, while that for small purse seine was around 39%. Ultimately, the LLFI package created daily paths for each identified fishing vessel, displaying all its movements during the day of its’identification. These daily paths did not show any activity within MPA or NTZ. The LLFI package was successful in combining VMS and VIIRS data, estimating VMS vessel positions during the VIIRS satellite overpass, identifying a percentage of  the vessels, and creating a daily path for each identified vessel.
Protean Power Concept in International Relations: Origins and Prospects
Authors: Loshkariov I. D.
Published: October 2021

In contrast to the representatives of other directions in International Relations Science, constructivists have long distanced themselves from the notion of power, but in the 2000s and 2010s, due to the increasing interest in conceptualizing this phenomenon, the first attempts of the constructivist interpretation of the concept of power started to emerge. Such interpretations received their fullest expression in the concept of Protean power, developed by a group of researchers under the informal leadership of Peter Katzenstein. The article analyzes the main features of the Protean power, as well as the emerging practices. The author shows that this type of power is less associated with specific actors and their intentions than other types of power, since it is aimed at overcoming uncertainty under the conditions when it is impossible to calculate risks. This formulation of the question allows one to reconsider the role of the creativity principle in international interactions and provide it with a higher ontological status. According to the author’s conclusion, the concept of Protean power continues the line of revising the ontological foundations of the studies of world politics, which has emerged within constructivism in the last decade. Similarly to some other constructivist concepts, this concept implies a holistic interpretation of the phenomenon of power in international relations and reflects the desire to move away from the classical (Newtonian) worldview. Although today it provides many reasons for criticism and, perhaps, needs further elaboration and reinterpretation, its contribution to the scientific discussion of the ontology of power in international interactions is beyond doubt. Protean power is paving the way that allows bypassing the neo-positivist consensus that has so far set the tone in the International Relations Science.

We designed a multidimensional visual learning project with the primary goal of helping undergraduate students better understand fundamental concepts in petrophysics through a set of exercises centered around an analysis of flooding experiment images. More specifically, we focused on concepts related to the trapped fluid within a rock’s pores in this project. To do this, eight different pore networks with unique internal structures were used and then 3D printed. The models were printed using a transparent resin to showcase the movement of fluids inside the rock model. The fluid’s displacement within the 3D-printed rock model was recorded using a high-definition camera, and still images were taken. Undergraduate petroleum engineering students were then assigned a set of exercises to guide them through an analysis of the pore network model images. Students conducted the analysis through an open-source image analysis software (Fiji) to help explore and better understand fundamental petrophysical properties: porosity, fluid saturation, wettability, grain-size distribution, and displacement efficiency. A survey was given to the students to gauge the effectiveness of the exercise in improving their understanding of these concepts. Survey results illustrated that the project-based learning exercises were effective in helping students to better understand difficult-to-grasp petrophysical concepts as they could be more easily visualized through the captured flooding experiment images and the accompanying analysis. An additional benefit to this unique visual learning experience is the ease at which it can be delivered remotely to adhere to safety measures as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
