Conditions in Which Math Anxiety Decrements Performance on Working Memory Capacity Measures
Authors: Lee Jacob
Published: October 2021

Experiencing math anxiety comes with cognitive costs. The purpose of this study was to test the conditions under which math anxiety decrements working memory capacity. Half the sample of female undergraduate participants received a warning that the study would involve a difficult math task. All participants then completed two working memory assessments, one math-related task and one non-math-related task. Math anxiety was assessed with a short Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale. Results suggest that math-anxious individuals given a warning performed worse than both those without the warning and non-math-anxious individuals. The decrements from math anxiety appeared to specifically harm performance on tasks that overtly involve math as it seems that people struggle most when they plan to struggle. This could provide insight for anxiety treatment in educational and clinical settings.
Knowledge is em(power)ing: Historically underrepresented groups benefit from exposure to information about advanced degrees in psychology
Authors: Graves Kathryn Nicole , Rubien-Thomas Estée , Streete Denzil , Chang Steve W. C.
Published: November 2021

Despite the growing interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) educationand careers, the “leaky pipeline” continues to disproportionally exclude underrepresented minorities from STEM fields. One feature of the leaky pipeline is unequal access to guidance surrounding graduate education and careers in STEM fields. Disparities in representation can be diminished by making this guidance more accessible, which may be particularly beneficial at the transition from undergraduate to post-graduate research experience and education. Here, we sought to investigate the value of large-scale, open access programming as a mechanism for achieving this objective, by using survey data from a 2020 Yale University Research Psychology Bootcamp as a case study. We found that this programming increased confidence and understanding of how to navigate the field of research psychology in all survey respondents, with a targeted benefit for Black and First Generation/Low-Income participants. Based on these findings, we argue that large-scale, open-access programming offers a unique and practical utility toward eliminating disparities in STEM higher education and STEM fields.
Lured Into Listening: Engaging Games as an Alternative to Reward-Based Crowdsourcing in Music Research
Authors: Honing Henkjan
Published: October 2021

This brief statement revisits some earlier observations on what makes web-based experiments, and especially citizen science using engaging games, an attractive alternative to laboratory-based setups. It suggests web-based experimenting to be a full-grown alternative to traditional laboratory-based experiments, especially in the field music cognition, where sampling bias is a common problem and large amounts of empirical data are needed to characterize individual variability.
Human species and mating systems: Neandertal-Homo sapiens reproductive isolation and the archaeological and fossil records
Authors: Overmann Karenleigh A. , Coolidge Frederick L.
Published: October 2021

The present paper examined the assumption of strong reproductive isolation (RI) between Homo neanderthalensis and Homo sapiens, as well as the question of what form it might have taken, using insights from the parallel case of chimpanzee–bonobo hybridization. RI from hybrid sterility or inviability was thought unlikely based on the short separation-to-introgression timeline. The forms of RI that typically develop in primates have relatively short timelines (especially for partial implementation); they generally preclude mating or influence hybrid survival and reproduction in certain contexts, and they have the potential to skew introgression directionality. These RI barriers are also consistent with some interpretations of the archaeological and fossil records, especially when behavioral, cognitive, morphological, and genetic differences between the two human species are taken into consideration. Differences potentially influencing patterns of survival and reproduction include interspecies violence, Neandertal xenophobia, provisioning behavior, and ontogenetic, morphological, and behavioral differences affecting matters such as kin and mate recognition, infanticide, and sexual selection. These factors may have skewed the occurrence of interbreeding or the survival and reproduction of hybrids in a way that might at least partially explain the pattern of introgression.
Sądowoadministracyjna kontrola kar administracyjnych w Słowacji – przyczynek do dyskusji o potrzebie zmian w ustawie – Prawo o postępowaniu przed sądami administracyjnymi
Authors: Ziółkowska Agnieszka
Published: November 2021

The purpose of the study is to present the model of proceedings, in force since 2016 in Slovakia, regarding the administrative court procedure in administrative penalty cases, which can be taken over in whole or in part, or be one of the elements of a broader discourse on potential changes in Law on Proceedings before Administrative Courts, taking into account the specificity and essence of the Polish administrative judiciary. The study contains de lege ferenda postulates regarding changes in the judicial-administrative control of penalties in Poland. In the author’s opinion, the normalization of the judicial-administrative procedure for the control of administrative fines could be the first step towards the unification of the judicial procedure in this area and the resignation from its current multiplicity, by granting exclusive jurisdiction in these cases to administrative courts.
Co-Carrying Rupture and Repair
Authors: Ravensbergen Lisa Cooke
Published: October 2021

Through evocative and holistic description, this article investigates how ceremony performs its spiritual, communal, pedagogical, and embodied work. Identifying ceremony as transformational, as carrying memory, and as medicine work, she contrasts it with settler-Canadian theatre practices and histories, which she identifies as colonial apparatus that, in their preoccupation with imperialism, have actually been pre-occupied by sacred processes, relationship, and memory. She suggests that the pandemic has deepened a rupture, opening space for reckoning and for the transformation of potential futures.
A Thought Full of Thoughts or Timely Musings
Authors: Peters Joelle
Published: October 2021

Sadness, longing, worry, doubt, hopelessness, fear. These are some of the things that Joelle Peters’ A Thought Full of Thoughts or Timely Musings touches on through creative musings and a monologue, written during a global pandemic. Grief reflects on the ways that one might wear it - because it looks different on everyone. It might even change the next time you put it on. Is it mine? began as part of a writing exercise and evolves from a place of self-doubt to believing in oneself. Found a grey hair today. came from finding a grey hair (spoiler alert) and follows a thought spiral about time and getting older. That time I accidentally wrote a creepy monologue comes from a play-in-development (the monologue is no longer in the play). It’s a recount of a memory that a young woman has from her childhood that has stuck with her ever since. What does it mean?
How We Gather Now: A Finding Aid

Published: October 2021

This article documents the ongoing development of the virtual exhibition currently titled How We Gather Now: A Finding Aid. This exhibition, created in collaboration with the Gatherings: Archival and Oral Histories of Performance research project ( http://www.gatheringspartnership.com ) aims to generate a virtual space to facilitate ongoing access to a curated selection of recorded online conversations about performance in Canada generated since March 2020. These recorded conversations between people who were not usually, easily, in a room together, represent a new archival object emerging from the simultaneous and intersecting truths of a global pandemic and protest against anti-Black racism. The article applies the structure of the Zoom conversation—which the exhibition aims to document and interpret—to offer readers a view, through isolated windows, into a research-creation process in progress. Through this contribution, the project’s curatorial team and research collaborators identify the key questions that motivated the exhibition’s development, outline the shifts in curatorial approach, and present the methodological approaches currently taken to historicize new and urgent forms of performance-related gatherings.
Theatre as Service … My Experience During the Global Pandemic in Canada
Authors: Afolabi Taiwo
Published: October 2021

Perhaps the global pandemic (COVID-19) and the death of George Floyd have brought an immense, drastic, and unprecedented turn in human history. Many disciplines are now being intentional about asking critical and ethical questions around race, identity, social justice representation, and systemic change. The same is true for theatre and performance. While events in 2020 stretched and burdened racialized bodies, they also provided opportunities for many racialized bodies to be recognized perhaps because of their knowledge, experiences, identities, and the power and privileges they hold or do not hold. As an African in the Canadian theatre sector and scholarship, I acted in different capacities to address systemic injustice in Canada’s theatre scene during the pandemic. For instance, I co-facilitated some sessions with colleagues from Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour (IBPoC) community for the purpose of creating space for dialogue on issues of concern to this community. In this article, I reflect on how the pandemic produced an initiative that has the potential to address leadership challenges within the performing arts sector.

Frontline Faces of COVID-19: Digital Pandemic Portraits
Authors: Henderson Julia
Published: October 2021

This article describes the author’s process of meaning-making in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, through a project that creates digital portraits of frontline workers wearing personal protective equipment (PPE). The goal of the project has been to help transform public perception of PPE from something scary into something that allows the humanity of the workers to shine through. The project seeks to publicly honour the sacrifices of frontliners by creating art that makes them feel beautiful, loved, supported, appreciated, and inspired. By creating the portraits free of charge, actively pursuing diversity of portrait subjects, and sharing the images on social media, the author has aspired to nurture digital justice, equity of representation, and community engagement.

Важко переоцінити значення дорожньо-будівельної галузі для економічного розвитку будь-якої країни. Зокрема, за даними Київської школи економіки (KSE), довгострокові ефекти в результаті реалізації інфрастуктурної програми «Велике будівництво», велика частка якої припадає на проекти в дорожній галузі, призведе до збільшення ВВП у найближчі 5 років на 2,2 % [1].В цих умовах необхідно ефективно використовувати фінансові ресурси, направлені на відновлення транспортно-експлуатаційних характеристик мережі автомобільних доріг України. Для цього надзвичайно важливим є об’єктивне визначення вартості дорожніх робіт на перших етапах інвестиційного процесу, що можливо досягнути за рахунок використання актуальних та достовірних даних щодо вартості всіх складових.Вартість експлуатації дорожньо-будівельної техніки - один з найбільш значущих чинників, що впливають на собівартість робіт та підвищенню рентабельності підприємств. Для достовірного визначення вартості експлуатації дорожньої техніки на етапі складання інвесторської кошторисної документації необхідно застосовувати рекомендовані Укравтодором Усереднені показники вартості експлуатації дорожніх машин і механізмів (далі - УПВЕМ), які відображають усереднену фактичну вартість експлуатації дорожньої техніки, а об’єктивність розрахунків забезпечується актуальною нормативною базою, систематичним оновленням вартості трудових та матеріальних ресурсів та отриманням інформації про фактичні витрати підрядних організацій.При розрахунку інвесторської кошторисної документації вартість машин і механізмів розраховується на підставі Усереднених показників вартості експлуатації машин і механізмів, які в свою чергу розраховуються шляхом усереднення даних по складових вартості, отриманих від учасників дорожнього ринку. Таким чином підприємства, які мають фактичні витрати, що перевищують усереднені, упускатимуть конкуренту перевагу та отримуватимуть погіршення економічної ефективності ведення їх діяльності за рахунок перевитрат на експлуатацію машин.

In the article, experimental studies of the neurocontroller of a laboratory installation of a quadrocopter link are presented. The latter is a nonlinear dynamic system. The input vector of the neurocontroller included the angle of inclination of the rod (a beam of the quadcopter) relative to the horizon, its angular velocity, and the angular velocity of the propeller. The output signal of the neurocontroller is proportional to the supply voltage of the propeller drive. In the article, the planning of experimental studies was carried out and eight indicators were selected, according to which the quality of the control process was evaluated. In addition, a qualitative analysis of the control process of the dynamic system motion was carried out with the corresponding graphical dependencies. The data obtained showed a good quality of control at a zero setpoint angle. For other values of the setpoint (-0.52 and -1.05 rad), the neurocontroller provides the rod aboutness to the setpoint angle and the control stability. However, the quality of control is not high. The reason for this effect has been established in the work. In order to improve the quality of control, the neurocontroller was modified by including an integral component in its structure. At the same time, the steady-state control error has significantly decreased with minor changes in other estimated indicators.
Approach to the location of distributed generation sources in the structure of electrical networks
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Gai A. , Gulevich V. ,   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine
Published: October 2021

Today, the electricity supplier is not able to declare the possible level of quality of electricity supply, and the consumer simply does not have the opportunity to buy such "high-quality" electricity. In such conditions, a differentiated approach to tariff formation is inevitable, which has been implemented in practice today, albeit in its infancy. Further improvement of the tariff-forming mechanism is impossible without creating a "flexible" dependence of the tariff on the quality indicators of the consumer's power supply. Quality indicators, in turn, are based, on the one hand, on the methods and approaches for their determination, and on the other, on statistically reliable data on the elements that make up the equipment in the "generation-consumer" chain. In recent years, there has been a tendency to change the concept of development of the electric power industry, since preference is given to the development of sources of distributed generation. Distributed generation is understood as a source of electrical energy directly connected to the distribution electrical network or connected to it by consumers. Ensuring the socio-economic stability of society and a decent quality of life for the population largely depends on the reliability and efficiency of the functioning of the infrastructure for the supply of fuel and energy resources, in particular, electricity. Excessive losses of electricity during its production, transportation and distribution, as well as an unacceptable level of harmful emissions into the atmosphere, are the cause of interruptions in power supply to consumers and even the threat of systemic accidents in the United Energy System (UPS) of the country. The introduction of alternative energy sources in electric power systems, in addition to reducing the harmful impact on the environment and solving the problems associated with waste pollution during electric power generation, will reduce the use of natural resources and relieve the backbone and distribution power lines. As part of the scientific search, an approach was proposed, which is the basis for calculations to determine the optimal installation locations for sources of distributed generation of an average overhead line. The results obtained are presented in the framework of a joint technical meeting of leading specialists of operating enterprises, the customer and the staff of the Department of Power Supply named after V.M.

Functional State Spaces and their Formation in Systems from Biological Organisms to the Physical Universe
Authors: Williams Andy E
Published: October 2021

This paper explores how the emerging science of Human-Centric Functional Modeling or HCFM provides a universal approach to modeling systems that is hypothesized to maximize human capacity to understand and navigate the complexity of systems, and how it facilitates a kind of biomimicry in which the human organism is represented in terms of abstract mathematical spaces that can be used to define simple expressions to represent properties like “complexity” for human systems like cognition, where the same spaces can be used to represent other systems, including the entire physical universe, so that the underlying equivalence of the representations allows the same mathematical expressions to define the same properties where applicable for these very different systems, and therefore allows deep insights to potentially be gained about these systems through looking inward to observe how one’s own cognition functions from one’s first person experience. This paper explores how from this Human-Centric Functional Modeling perspective the properties governing the evolution of life in its functional state space might also govern the formation of the universe in its own functional state space. Human-Centric Functional Modeling also has other significant benefits, one is that in defining behavior in terms of mathematical spaces it enables all the mathematical disciplines that apply to such spaces (e.g. functor theory, category theory, process theory) to be used to understand and navigate the relationships between concepts described in those spaces. Another is that in providing a self-contained representation of the human meaning of any entity, including of any region in the physical universe, Human-Centric Functional Modeling potentially defines the first complete semantic representation of concepts, physical objects, or any other entities represented in a functional state space. When applied to the physical universe this implies that all theoretical or experimental data can be stored in that single model and all theories tested against it to increase capacity to impact a research question. When applied to other systems semantic modeling has equally important implications. Another benefit of Human-Centric Functional Modeling is that it is also a human-centric expression of “constructor theory”, which in the case of physical systems enables accurate predictions to be made about their physical behavior simply from observations of their functions, without needing to understand the specific physics through which the functions are implemented in those systems.
First Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation and Autotransplantation in Patients with Malignancies in Hungary – Report of the First Three Cases
Authors:   Versys Clinics – Human Reproduction Institute, Budapest, Hungary, Vereczkey Attila
Published: October 2021

Fertility Preservation, Cryopreservation, Ovarian Tissue Autotransplantation and Malignancies. Abstract: Autotransplantation of cryopreserved ovarian tissue is one of the most advanced methods for fertility preservation of patients suffering from malignant diseases. Even though the method itself is still experimental, nearly a hundred live births have been documented worldwide, and its efficacy is comparable with the efficacy of any other assisted reproductive technology. Our prospective, nonrandomized study was the first in Hungary that aimed to examine the safety and efficacy of fertility preservation based on ovarian tissue cryopreservation and autotransplantation. Patients were included only with stage I-III malignancy confirmed by histological diagnosis with a high risk for post-treatment infertility. 13 patients met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in the study. After successful treatment and recovery, cryopreserved ovarian tissue was thawed and autotransplanted in three cases. The ultrathin slices of ovarian cortex were transplanted on the remaining ovaries with laparoscopic or minilaparotomic intervention. Patients were discharged home after an uneventful postoperative period and are followed up currently. In summary, cryopreservation and autotransplantation of ovarian tissue is a safe technology for fertility preservation, which should be considered to offer and perform prior to gonadotoxic treatment, after individual evaluation of patients
Correlation of Caesarean Section Rates to Maternal and Neonatal Mortality in the Eastern Mediterranean Region; A Population-Based Ecological Study
Authors:   World Health Organization Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, Nasr City, Cairo, Jadoon Bismeen
Published: October 2021

Purpose: This study aims to explore the relationship between population-level caesarean section rates (CSRs) with maternal and neonatal mortality rates (MMR, NMR) in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). Design: A populationbased ecological study was performed with data obtained from the World Health Organization, Global Health Observatory database, 2015, United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UN-IGME) and the United Nations Maternal Mortality Estimation Inter-Agency Group (UN-MMEIG) 2015). Mean ± standard deviation (SD), range, median and Interquartile range (IQR) were used to describe the quantitative data. We performed multivariate logistic regression analysis to explore the effect (a) of (a) Antenatal clinic visits (ANC %), (b), Skilled Birth Attendance (SBA) rate (% of deliveries attended by SBA), (c) Total Health Expenditure (THE) per capita and (d) Female Literacy Rate (FLR%) on the studied relationship. Spline linear regression was used to find the most predictive variable for MMR, and the NMR. Statistical significance was accepted at P<0.05. Results: The mean CSR was 21.20±13.38, (1.8-52). The CSR of <10% was linked with the highest NMR and MMR, 33.0 (24.0-39.0) and 390.5(329.5-648.0) respectively. The most predictable variables for NMR and MMR were SBA % [B=-0.875; p< .001; R2=0.766 and adjusted R2=0.754] and FLR (F=15-24) [B=0.877; P<0.001; R2=0.77 and adjusted R2=0.758] respectively. Conclusions: We found a statistically significant inverse relationship between CSRs and maternal and neonatal mortality in MSs with <10% of CSR. The improved mortality rates in MSs with >15% of CSR were significantly linked with better socioeconomic and healthcare variables than higher CSRs. Keywords: Caesarean Section, Maternal and Neonatal Mortality, Eastern Mediterranean Region.
Editorial Treatment of Burhan Wani Killing: A Comparative Analysis of Pakistan and India Press
Authors:   International Islamic University, Islamabad, Pakistan, Munawar Adnan
Published: October 2021

This study examines coverage patterns of the killing of Burhan Muzaffar Wani in two leading English dailies of Pakistan and India from July 2016 to December 2016. The killing of Wani, a commander of Hizbul Mujahideen, in an encounter by the Indian security forces on July 8, 2016, led to large-scale protests in the Indian-held Kashmir and military confrontations over the line of control between the two nuclear-armed South Asian neighbors and claims of surgical strikes against Pakistan by India. The theoretical framework for this research was determined by framing theory, while the sample was selected by applying census sampling. The findings, based on a quantitative content analysis of selected editorials of The Times of India and The News International, show that the two newspapers did not present the ground reality as it is, but reconstructed it according to their agendas and represented it by framing events. The patriotic and hostile attitude of the media of both countries results in the obstruction of peace process and endorses a wave of tension, which often leads to heightened tension and war hysteria between the two countries. Consistent with the existing scholarship on peace journalism, the findings of this study also show how the news media surrender impartiality and cover the events in view of their country’s national interests and foreign policy. Keywords: Framing, conflict communication, Kashmir dispute, Burhan Wani, Kashmir freedom movement, crisis communication.

The autonomous vehicle is both an exciting yet complex field to dig in these past few years. Many have ventured out to develop Level 4 Autonomous Vehicle but up to this point, many issues were still arising about its safety, perception and sensing capabilities, tracking, and localization. This paper aims to address the struggles of developing an acceptable model for object detection in real-time. Object detection is one of the challenging areas of autonomous vehicles due to the limitations of the camera, lidar, radar, and other sensors, especially during night-time. There were various datasets and models available, but the number of samples, the labels, the occlusions, and other factors may affect the performance of the dataset. To address the mentioned problem, this study has undergone a rigorous process of scene selection and imitation to deal with the imbalance dataset, applied the state-of-the-art YOLO architecture for the model development. After the development process, the model was deployed in a multi-GPU architecture that lessens the computational load on a single GPU structure and was tested on a 12-meter fully electric autonomous bus. This study will lead to the development of a usable and safe autonomous bus that will lead the future of public transportation.

Published: October 2021

Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) is one of the important legume vegetables in Indonesia. However, genetic information for these plants is still minimalized, especially on Timor Island. This study aims to analyze the genetic diversity of lima beans from Timor Island based on ISSR molecular markers. A total of 4 accessions of lima beans were analyzed using 3 ISSR primers to produce 15 polymorphic bands with an average of 68.18% polymorphism. The cluster analysis results use the Unweighted Pair Group Methods using Arithmetic averages (UPGMA) method to create a dendrogram that produces two main clusters. There were plain seed and pattern seed group with a similarity coefficient of 0.52. These results indicated that the genetic variation of the lima beans from Timor Island was high. Moreover, the result provides a sutable method for evaluating the genetic diversity of lima beans using the ISSR marker and important information of future lima bean breeding programs.

Relevance. Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) is a geographically widespread oilseed crop characterized by a high content of unsaturated fatty acids in seed oil and resistance to most stress abiotic and biotic factors. The prospect for the development of camelina culture in agriculture is associated with the production of biofuels and a wide range of technical oils. The creation of new specialized highly productive varieties of camelina is associated with the tasks of the chemical, medical and food industries. Increasing the efficiency of the breeding process needs development of methods for the assessing and selecting of genetic material (lines, cultivars etc.). The study of the genetic diversity of a culture using DNA marking, including the microsatellite SSR markers, is considered as an effective way of the pre-breeding stage of breeding work. The aim of this study was to study the polymorphism and phylogenetic relationships of camelina cultivars using SSR markers.Methods. The object of the study was 18 varieties of camelina of various breeding origin, included in the State Register of Varieties of the Russian Federation. Genetic analysis was carried out by PCR using a set of 8 SSR-markers, followed by detection of products on a genetic analyzer.Results. During the study, 40 alleles were identified, with rather high indicators of the level of polymorphism. A specific marker associated with the winter form of life of camelina was revealed. Cluster analysis with the construction of a dendrogram of genetic similarity showed significant differences in the studied samples. The varieties were divided into two separate clusters — winter and spring forms of camelina. In each of the clusters, varieties were grouped mainly by origin (originator). Further development and use of DNA-marking methods will contribute to increasing the efficiency of the breeding process and the formation of a system of genetic certification of oilseeds.

Relevance. Herd horse breeding is the most ancient way of reproduction and maintenance of horses. The regularities of the growth and development of young animals largely depend on the genotype of the producers. Adai horses are bred in a herd way. Their well-being largely depends on natural and climatic conditions — the state of the weather, grass stand. The breeding zones of the Adai horse are the desert and semi-desert of the western region of Kazakhstan, characterized by a sharply continental climate.Methods. Experimental work was carried out at Taushyk LLP, Tupkaragan district, Mangistau region. The object of the study is pure-bred Kazakh horses of the Mangistau population and Adai offspring. According to scientific experience, two groups of 12 stallions were formed. Feeding qualities were assessed by the increase in live weight in young animals in the period from 24 to 30 months of age. Meat productivity was studied according to the methodology of the All-Russian Research Institute of Horse Breeding, in accordance with the technological instructions adopted in the meat industry.Results. It was found that the greatest increase in live weight in foals of Kazakh horses of the Adai offspring is observed from 3 days of age to 1 month and amounted to 42.9 kg with an average daily gain of 1530 g. For six months the increase in live weight was 84.1 kg, and average daily gain — 460 g. From 6 to 12 months of age the average daily gain in foals decreases to 126.9 g, due to the independent wintering of foals. From 18 to 24 months the minimum increase in live weight was recorded — 24.6 kg. From 24 to 30 months of age the average daily gains slightly increase — to 310 g. It has been established that the coefficient of increase in live weight in Kazakh horses in the conditions of the Mangyshlak Peninsula from birth to 24 months of age is 5.28–5.30, from 24 months. up to 30 months age — 0.51–0.52, from birth to 30 months of age — 8.54—8.56. It was found that the stallions of the Mangystau population exceeded their peers of the Adai offspring in terms of pre-slaughter live weight by 3.8 kg. In terms of slaughter yield stallions of the Adai offspring were inferior to their peers of the Mangistau population by 0.4%. The highest fat content in the meat of both groups is observed in the off-grade cut (kazy + sting) — from 16.0% to 16.4%. Comparatively little fat was contained in grade II meat — from 3.8% to 4.3% and grade III — from 2.3% to 2.7%.

University Students, are millennials, which makes up almost 60 percent of the total population of Indonesia, do not understand and are not interested in cooperatives, even though the founders of the nation emphasized that the most suitable economic structure for the Indonesian people is cooperatives. There are indications that students' interest in cooperating through Student Cooperatives is still minimal. Some of the questions that arise are: why Student Cooperatives are not attractive to students, whether Student Cooperatives is a good place to learn cooperative values, and whether students who have joined the cooperative have a preference for developing cooperatives in the future. This study uses quantitative methods, the locus of research is the city of Bandung, the number of Kopma samples is 5, determined purposively. Research respondents were students (as members, administrators and supervisors as well as managers). The results showed that Kopma had provided cooperative experiences for its members, and the experiences gained were in the form of negative experiences and positive experiences; Students who get positive experiences from Student Cooperatives have a high tendency to replicate cooperative activities in the community.
Development of Risk Assessment Tools for Enterprises

Published: October 2021

Th e purpose of this article is to develop tools for assessing the risks of enterprises, used both to assess the current activities of enterprises and during the implementation of investment proj-ects. It is supposed to be used both as the main risk assessment tool, for example, for small and medium-sized enterprises, and as an additional tool, mainly for large enterprises, for making a preliminary decision on the feasibility of the project. Th e developed tools include a comprehen-sive risk assessment system, which provides a fundamental basis for calculations, and a soft ware product that signifi cantly optimizes the calculations of a complex integral risk indicator. Th e risk assessment system represents individual risks, grouped by 51 risk groups. Making calculations using the developed risk assessment tools involves assigning to each risk the characteristics of assessing the level of infl uence by selecting the characteristic most appropriate to the current level of risk. A standard version of indicators is proposed for each risk and characteristics cor-responding to "high", "elevated", "medium", "moderate" and "low" risk levels. Based on the results of the analysis, a complex integral risk indicator is formed, which is a quantitative risk assessment, which allows you to classify an enterprise into one of three groups: "eff ective enterprise / project", "enterprise / project requiring improvements", "ineffi cient enterprise". To optimize the calcula-tions, the authors have developed a soft ware product that allows for analysis with a signifi cant reduction in the time spent on its implementation. In general, the use of the developed risk as-sessment system and tools makes it possible to signifi cantly optimize the risk assessment process and reduce the costs of analisys.
