Public Exclusion, Under Funding and the Intensification of Work: Universities and the Erosion of Democracy in Ontario
Authors: Healy Teresa
Published: March 2019

As public anxiety over access to education increases, public-sector workers are directly able to perceive the extent to which exclusion, rather than public- access, now characterizes post-secondary education in an era of privatization. This paper will address some of the recent experiences of university workers who are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE). Here we shall identify three issues facing workers in the sector including: i) the privatization of universities through government policy shifts, ii) the employer-led reorganization of work, and iii) university workers’ campaigns to resist and transform these conditions. For public sector workers, decreasing access to social programs, under funding and the intensification of work are very clearly linked. As the restructured state brings public services more fully into the market and increasingly under the direct control of a global capitalist class, democratic rights are eroded. Still, this privatization dynamic is not uni-directional. Public sector workers and their community allies have been part of the history of state restructuring through their conscious acts of resistance, collective bargaining strategies, militancy and coalition-building. À mesure qu’augmente l’inquiétude du public au sujet de l’éducation, le personnel du secteur public est en mesure de constater directement que l’exclusion, plutôt que l’accès du public, caractérise l’éducation postsecondaire en ces temps de privatisation. L’article traite de certaines des expériences récentes de membres du personnel universitaire qui font partie du Syndicat canadien de la fonction publique (SCFP). Il porte plus précisément sur trois problèmes du personnel du secteur public : i) la privatisation des universités à la faveur de la modification des politiques gouvernementales, ii) la réorganisation du travail dirigée par l’employeur, et iii) les campagnes des travailleurs et travailleuses universitaires visant à résister et à transformer ces conditions. Pour le personnel du secteur public, la diminution de l’accès aux programmes sociaux, l’insuffisance du financement et l’intensification du travail sont nettement liées. À mesure que la restructuration de l’État met des services publics sur le marché privé et les place directement sous le contrôle d’une classe capitaliste mondiale, les droits démocratiques s’affaiblissent. La dynamique de la privatisation n’est cependant pas unidirectionnelle. Le personnel du secteur public et ses alliés communautaires ont participé à la restructuration de l’État par leur résistance réfléchie, leurs stratégies de négociation collective, leur militantisme et l’établissement de coalitions.
How CUPE 3903 Struck and Won
Authors: Kuhling Clarice
Published: March 2019

On October 26, 2000 approximately 2200 members of Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) Local 3903 went on strike united under the slogan "Strike To Win". Seventy-eight days later CUPE 3903 celebrated a victory with profound implications for the post-secondary educational system and broader labour movement. The significance of the strike victory, however, lies not merely in what was attained in concrete terms, but also in the way the strike was carried out. Drawing upon the principles, practice and strategies of democracy, solidarity, and militancy, we struggled for change in ways which developed and expanded our capacities for self-activity and self-organization. In the process we gained a better understanding not only of the world around us but of our abilities to change that world, expanding the horizons of what we thought was possible. Le 26 octobre 2000, environ 2 200 membres de la section locale 3903 du Syndicat canadien de la fonction publique (SCFP), employés d’université York à Toronto, se sont mis en grève sous le slogan « faire la grève pour gagner ». Soixante-huit jours plus tard, la section locale 3903 a célébré une victoire qui a de profondes répercussions sur le système d’enseignement postsecondaire et le mouvement syndical. Toutefois, l’importance de cette grève a trait non seulement aux gains concrets obtenus mais aussi à la façon dont la grève a été menée. En nous fondant sur les principes, les pratiques et les stratégies de la démocratie, de la solidarité et du militantisme, nous avons lutté pour provoquer un changement par des moyens qui ont accru nos capacités d’agir et de nous organiser. Cela nous a permis de mieux comprendre non seulement le monde qui nous entoure mais encore nos capacités de changer ce monde, élargissant ainsi l’horizon de ce que nous pensions possible.
Training for Labour’s Professionals
Authors: Nesbit Tom
Published: March 2019

This article addresses an issue arising from a comparative study of the nature of education and training for Canadian full-time union staff and officials. The specific question is how can education for union officials address both the social and the servicing demands placed on them? The article locates the discussion about such training within the contexts of existing approaches to labour education and current debates about the revitalization of the labour movement. It concludes with a call for more systematic discussion of these issues and further analysis of different programmatic training models. Cet article porte sur une question découlant d’une étude comparative de la nature de l’éducation et de la formation données aux dirigeants et dirigeantes et membres du personnel à plein temps des syndicats au Canada. La question est celle de savoir comment l’on peut voir à ce que la formation donnée à ces « cadres » syndicaux leur permette de répondre aux exigences sociales et de prestation de services qui leur sont imposées. L’article place cette formation dans le contexte des approches actuelles d’éducation syndicale et du débat au sujet de la revitalisation du mouvement syndical. Il se termine par un appel à un examen plus méthodique de ces questions et à une analyse plus poussée de différents modèles de programmes de formation.
The Validity of Alberta Safety Statistics
Authors: Barnetson Bob
Published: March 2019

This study examines the validity of injury statistics used to monitor workplace safety in the Canadian province of Alberta. These indicators were found to significantly under-report the rate of injury and to be vulnerable to gaming by both employers and the workers’ compensation board. These threats to the validity of the measures should limit the inferences drawn from the measures. Injury-based statistics were also found to be inadequate proxies for the broader construct of workplace safety. The political feasibility of alternative measures is also discussed.
What Does the New Economy Mean to Malaysian Tellers?
Authors: Khoo Suet Leng
Published: March 2019

The rise of the New Economy has restructured work, necessitated changing skills requirements, as well as spurred new training needs amongst employees. Such new skills and training needs are prerequisites to survive and thrive in the New Economy. Importantly, these skills and training are also prerequisites for upward mobility in a system of inequality. This paper illustrates the case of Malaysian tellers as the Malaysian banking industry operates in the New Economy. Although the New Economy and the emergence of the sales culture requires Malaysian tellers to be more knowledgeable, this paper argues that due to their unionised status and given their positions at the bottom rung of the occupational hierarchy, tellers in Malaysia are disadvantaged and often excluded in the process of training and knowledge acquisition.

Authors: CANER Gamze
Published: March 2019

Son yıllarda meydana gelen teknolojik yenilikler ile birlikte küresel rekabet ortamında faaliyet gösteren işletmelerin ürettikleri mamul ve hizmetlerin maliyet yapıları da değişmektedir. Üretimde iş gücünün yerini otomasyonun alması sonucunda, toplam üretim maliyetleri içerisinde yer alan işçilik maliyetleri azalmakta; buna karşılık genel üretim maliyetleri artış göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda, genel üretim maliyetlerinin üretilen mamul ve hizmetlere yüklenmesi büyük önem teşkil etmektedir. Modern üretim ortamlarında geleneksel üretim ortamlarının ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda geliştirilmiş olan geleneksel maliyetleme sistemlerinin kullanılması hatalı maliyet bilgisine neden olmakta; hatalı maliyet bilgileri kullanılarak alınan stratejik yönetim kararları ise işletmeleri büyük risklere sürüklemektedir. Bu çalışmada “Zaman Sürücülü Faaliyet Tabanlı Maliyetleme sistemi” hakkında bilgi verilmekte ve olay çalışması yöntemi kullanılarak bir mermer sanayi işletmesinde uygulanabilirliği araştırılmaktadır.

Published: March 2019

Functional integration of proteins with carbon-based nanomaterials such as nanotubes holds great promise in emerging electronic and optoelectronic applications. Control over protein attachment poses a major challenge for consistent and useful device fabrication, especially when utilizing single/few molecule properties. Here, we exploit genetically encoded phenyl azide photochemistry to define the direct covalent attachment of three different proteins, including the fluorescent protein GFP, to carbon nanotube side walls. Single molecule fluorescence revealed that on attachment to SWCNTs GFP’s fluorescence changed in terms of intensity and improved resistance to photobleaching; essentially GFP is fluorescent for much longer on attachment. The site of attachment proved important in terms of electronic impact on GFP function, with the attachment site furthest from the functional center having the larger effect on fluorescence. Our approach provides a versatile and general method for generating intimate protein-CNT hybrid bioconjugates. It can be potentially applied easily to any protein of choice; attachment position and thus interface characteristics with the CNT can easily be changed by simply placing the phenyl azide chemistry at different residues by gene mutagenesis. Thus, our approach will allow consistent construction and modulate functional coupling through changing the protein attachment position.
Issues of  Hedge  Accounting  in IFRS  in Consolidated  financial  Statement
Authors: Kuzmin A. Yu.
Published: March 2019

In consolidated accounting the reflection of the financial results of the valuation and the accounting processes can present a challenge. That requires the development of special procedures of the joint accounting of financial results of the hedging that are consistent with the provisions of IFRS.

There is a typical situation, characterized by the following components: internal hedging operations initiated by subsidiaries to the parent company create open positions with different parameters for the parent company; maternal unit of the company responsible for the management of financial risks at the general group level, in order to eliminate the negative consequences of the changes of conditions for the groups in the market, can hedge transactions by buying a single forward contract with significantly different from intra-group transactions parameters.

The need to develop special procedures of joint financial hedging results, consistent with the provisions of certain IFRS standards has been proven in the article. Within the limits of tasks there have been designed and documented evaluation procedures for joint accounts for hedge accounting fair value and cash flow hedging contracts groups formed as a purely financial articles, and non-financial articles. With a view to the practical implementation of the evaluation procedures there have been proposed the methods of assessment of corresponding objects of accounting as well as the aspects of hedge effectiveness criteria have been investigated.
Liquidity  Risks  in  the Context  of  Sustainable  Development of  a Commercial  Company
Authors: Sidorova S. A.
Published: March 2019

The influence of liquidity risks on the sustainable development of a company is analyzed in the article. Herewith, the stages of financial strategy integration and sustainable development strategy are singled out. The first stage presupposes the maintenance of current financial sustainability. The second stage concerns long term financial sustainability. At the third stage we propose to consider the category of financial sustainability in the context of sustainable development in the process of value creation of the business. In doing so, we suggest considering the maintenance of financial sustainability as a complex notion in accordance with the demands of the main stakeholders including the satisfaction of the business owners. On each stage of the financial strategy integration we single out certain liquidity risks. In doing so, we describe the interconnection between the liquidity risks and the sustainable development of an economic entity with help of the category of financial sustainability. We suggest an analytical instrument which enables us to analyse the influence of liquidity risks on the sustainable development of an economic entity on each stage of financial strategy and sustainable development strategy integration. The methods suggested in the article are based on quality and quantity estimates. When working out the analytical instrument we took into consideration the fact that the appearance of liquidity risks is explained by investments in sustainable development of a commercial organization as well as by neglect of investments in different types of sustainability. The quality method was worked out on the basis of the criteria of sustainable development in accordance with the GOST (All-Union State Standard) ISO 26000–2012 and GRI. The analysis methods we suggest to measure the influence of liquidity risks on the sustainable development of a commercial organization are complementary to the existent methods of estimating and managing risks, known as the ERM methodology. Moreover, the methods we suggest in the article follow the concept of the ERM methodology, which is based on the assumption that risks do not only constitute a threat to the continuity of economic activity but also to the opportunity of further development with effective risk management. The analytical instrument in question is presented in an aggregative form therefore can be used by outside users of financial reports.

Numerical Verification of Affine Systems with up to a Billion Dimensions
Authors: Bak Stanley , Tran Hoang-Dung , Johnson Taylor T.
Published: March 2019

Affine systems reachability is the basis of many verification methods. With further computation, methods exist to reason about richer models with inputs, nonlinear differential equations, and hybrid dynamics. As such, the scalability of affine systems verification is a prerequisite to scalable analysis for more complex systems. In this paper, we improve the scalability of affine systems verification, in terms of the number of dimensions (variables) in the system.

The reachable states of affine systems can be written in terms of the matrix exponential, and safety checking can be performed at specific time steps with linear programming. Unfortunately, for large systems with many state variables, this direct approach requires an intractable amount of memory while using an intractable amount of computation time. We overcome these challenges by combining several methods that leverage common problem structure. Memory is reduced by exploiting initial states that are not full-dimensional and safety properties (outputs) over a few linear projections of the state variables. Computation time is saved by using numerical simulations to compute only projections of the matrix exponential relevant for the verification problem. Since large systems often have sparse dynamics, we use Krylov-subspace simulation approaches based on the Arnoldi or Lanczos iterations. Our method produces accurate counter-examples when properties are violated and, in the extreme case with sufficient problem structure, can analyze a system with one billion real-valued state variables.

Published: March 2019

With the further application of information technology in the field of education, the education informationization gradually moves from shallow application to deep integration. The promotion of education informationization makes the integration problem more complicated, so it is urgent to study and discuss how to promote the deepening of the application of information instruction in school. Based on the view of education ecology, this paper puts forward a teaching model to promote the deep integration of information technology in teaching, and to establish an information-based teaching ecological model, and also puts forward the idea to reconstruct the school teaching ecology from the concept layer, pattern layer and practice layer. At the same time, combined with the examples of middle school information teaching ecology remodeling, this paper expounds how to optimize and reform the teaching ways, organization management mode and campus culture through teaching model construction.

There are many benefits in providing formal specifications for our software. However, teaching students to do this is not always easy as courses on formal methods are often experienced as dry by students. This paper presents a game called FormalZ that teachers can use to introduce some variation in their class. Students can have some fun in playing the game and, while doing so, also learn the basics of writing formal specifications. Unlike existing software engineering themed education games such as Pex and Code Defenders, FormalZ takes the deep gamification approach where playing gets a more central role in order to generate more engagement. This short paper presents our work in progress: the first implementation of FormalZ along with the result of a preliminary users' evaluation. This implementation is functionally complete and tested, but the polishing of its user interface is still future work.

Published: March 2019

O trabalho versa sobre as questões de LGBTIfobia e consequente falta de igualdade social e jurídica dessa população. Sua relevância se deve à condição de desrespeito sob a qual a minoria sobrevive, sendo marginalizada pela sociedade e tendo suas mortes frequentemente naturalizadas. A pretensão é analisar como o cenário se molda para manter tal população em situação de invisibilidade. Para tanto, faz-se um recorte para analisar a institucionalização do preconceito em universidades federais, neste caso a Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto. Apresenta-se a entrada do calouro e requisitos de aceitação para integrar as repúblicas federais de Ouro Preto; passa-se então a análise da institucionalização da LGBTIfobia e suas consequências paras as pessoas e, por fim, apresenta-se como e porque a invisibilização da diferença é tão efetiva. Trata-se de pesquisa sob o método jurídico-descritivo tendo como referência a concepção de igualdade como diversidade de Alexandre Bahia.

Published: March 2019

In the airborne and high-resolution measurement of Land Surface Temperature (LST) over large area, capturing and synthesizing of many images are necessary. In the conventional method, the process of georeferencing a large number of LST images is necessary to make one large image. Structure from Motion (SfM) technique was applied to automized the georeferencing process. We called it “SfM Thermal Mosaicing”. The objective of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of SfM thermal mosaicing in making an orthogonal LST image. By using airborne thermal images in the center of Tokyo, the LST image with the 2m resolution was created by using SfM thermal mosaicing. Its accuracy was then analyzed. The result showed that in the whole examined area, the mean error distance was 4.22m and in the small parts of the examined area, the mean the error distance was about 2m. Considering the image resolution, the error was minimal indicating good performance of the SfM thermal mosaicing. Another advantage of SfM thermal mosaicing is that it can make precise orthogonal LST image. With the progress of UAV and thermal cameras, the proposed method will be a powerful tool for the environmental researches on the LST.

Published: March 2019

This article presents reflective writing manifestation in Reader-response literary analysis. The article is aimed at finding out how the reflective writing is manifested in the students� Reader-response of literary analysis. The writer carried out the study by analyzing the students� portfolio documents of their reflective essays responding to three literary works. Fourteen students enrolling Literary Criticism Subject at a private university in West Java took part in the present research. Literary Criticism subject was chosen as the object of the current study, considering that the students in enrolling the subject were not merely introduced to literature, but also were led to be able to evaluate, describe, and analyze literary works. The study revealed some findings. Firstly, Reader-response prompts were helpful in giving aids to the students that they give the students idea how to write down their ideas and thoughts in minds. However, as the second finding, most students tend to keep their focus on the feeling section. Some of them were proven to be more critical by questioning things happened in the stories, yet they still had no idea how to analyze and evaluate the questions they had. The last finding, the writer noticed that none of the students relate their reflective essays to relevant literature to support their opinion. The writer considered that this occurred due to their lack of knowledge and practice of critical thinking and critical writing.

Movies have been everybody�s favorite across all ages. Some movies are not suitable for certain ages and the parents� assistance is needed during the watching movie process so that they can show the morals conceived in the movie. This study tries to shed lights on the elements contained in �a movie entitled �Sense and Sensibility�, �a movie made based on a novel by Jane Austen. This study was carried out in qualitative approach using visual feature analysis technique. The object of this study was the movie with the duration of 140 minutes. The data obtained were then classified based on its elements such as realism, local color, narratives, and symbolism. The result portrayed that the realism given in this movie is the condition of a noble family who had lost all of their wealth and life had been becoming crude. The local color depicts the social status in the mid-eighteenth century. The story was narrated in the linear plot and finally, the symbolism in this movie exposed much about the calming and melancholic nature of Devonshire.
The Cult of St. Daniel the Stylite Among the Russian Princes of the Rurik Dynasty
Authors: Maiorov Alexander V.
Published: March 2019

The influence of Grand Princess Euphrosyne (second wife of Prince Roman Mstislavovitch) explains the appearance among the Galician-Volhynian princes of Christian names which were unusual and unique for the Rurikides. This is the name Daniel, which was later included into the name list of the Moscow princes. This name spread among the princes due to the expansion of the cult of St Daniel the Stylite and the rising interest in the attributes of Stylitism. This can be seen in sphragistics and in the numerous architectural monuments of Galician-Volhynian Rus' of the 13th–early 14th century. Thanks to the family links between the Galician-Volhynian and the Vladimir-Suzdal princes, this cult spread in the North-Eastern Rus' and later to Moscow.

The fact that Euphrosyne of Galicia was the daughter of Basileus Isaak II explains the unexpected rise of interest in Stylitism among the princes of Rus' and their milieu. According to Niketas Choniates, Emperor Isaak II especially sympathized with the Stylites and the ascetics and patronized them. Thus he astonished his contemporaries, since the Stylites had lost the influence over the emperors that they had exerted at the time of iconoclasm. The Byzantine hagiography concerning Sts. Daniel the Stylite and Leo the Great Tsar explains the connection between the names of Daniel and Leo among the descendants of Roman Mstislavich. Daniel the Stylite was the spiritual father and the main adviser of Emperor Leo I. Apparently this relationship was reflected in the names of the father and the son, the Galician-Volhynian princes Daniel Romanovich and Lev Danilovich.
