Published: July 2024

The objective of the study is to determine the share of eggs from non-cage
production systems compared to eggs from cage systems, in the year when the
extended transitional period expires (December 2023) for Serbian producers
to comply with the welfare legislation, mandating the transition from the
conventional cage breeding system to permitted systems (enriched cage system
and non-cage systems (floor, aviary, free breeding - free ranges, organic
production). Also, the objective of the study is to determine the structure
of consumers within the group valueing the breeding system, which declares
that it prefers free range eggs and organic eggs. The examination of the
Belgrade market supply of eggs, including supermarkets (11), green markets
(5) and specialized stores (5), and consumer attitudes was conducted through
a survey (247 respondents in the Belgrade region). According to the results
of the survey, it can be concluded that the supply of eggs from non-cage
systems is minor, compared to eggs from the cage system, which have a share
of 100%, it is 81.82% for eggs from the floor system, 54.54% for eggs from
free range and 9.10% for organic eggs. The supply of organic eggs on the
market is insufficient and mainly associated with specialized stores. For
about 30% of consumers, the egg production system is very important, whereby
the majority of consumers (53.45%) would prefer the eggs from free ranges,
and among them the largest share are women (76.03%), consumers with higher
education (67.10%), employed (78.38%), aged 36-55 and with higher monthly
incomes. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the process
of harmonizing egg production with welfare regulations has an impact on the
egg market, i.e. resulting in changes in the sense of greater share of eggs
from non-cage systems compared to similar research in the earlier period. At
the same time, although there is a growing awareness among consumers about
the importance of the production/rearing system, it is still insufficient
compared to certain European countries. The development of non-cage systems,
as more favourable from the point of view of welfare and consumer
expectations, should be given greater attention in the coming period, by
acting through regulatory measures, education of producers and consumers,
research and support in terms of incentives, subsidies and loans to
producers who switch to alternative systems of raising laying hens.
Countering postmodern genealogies: Brandom, Hegel and the logic of self-determination
Authors: Ennen Timo
Published: July 2024

In his recent A Spirit of Trust, Robert Brandom interprets Hegel as proposing
a conception of normativity that overcomes the shortcomings of both
modernity and its critics. Brandom?s Hegel asks for a ?hermeneutics of
magnanimity?, in opposition to what Paul Ricoeur labelled the ?hermeneutics
of suspicion?. According to Brandom, ?great unmaskers? of modern normativity
like Nietzsche or Foucault make use of the delegitimizing force that
characterizes genealogical explanation. Their suspicion is that what is
thought to be normative is conditioned by contingencies that undermine that
very normativity. In this paper, while raising objections against Brandom?s
reading, I want to hold on to his idea that Hegelian philosophy counters
those subversive postmodern genealogies. Instead of focusing, as Brandom
does, on the end of the ?Spirit? chapter in Hegel?s Phenomenology, I draw on
Hegel?s logic of self-determination. Contrary to the ?great unmaskers?, for
Hegel, explanation of something through reference to some external or
contingent factor is parasitic on explanation that explains something
through itself.
Towards an an-archic ethos
Authors: Marneros Christos
Published: July 2024

The French philosopher Gilles Deleuze has never stated his intention to write
or create a work of ethics or moral philosophy, at least not in the
traditional sense of the term used to describe a ?genre? of the discipline
of philosophy. However, this paper argues that a close attention to
Deleuze?s philosophical thought manifests an ethos which calls us to ponder
the possibility of creating a way of being that is profoundly anarchic
(without an ???? [arch?]), in a sense that it opposes any form of dogmatism
and/or hierarchies. In other words, it opposes a notion of ?a ground? or
origin - an ???? [arch?]. The examination of this an-archic ethos is
manifested through Deleuze?s distinction between ethics and morality and his
reading of the works of two of his main philosophical predecessors,
Friedrich Nietzsche and Baruch Spinoza.
Global trends in prevalence of maternal overweight and obesity: A systematic review and meta-analysis of routinely collected data retrospective cohorts
Authors: Kent Lisa , McGirr Meabh , Eastwood Kelly-Ann
Published: July 2024

Pregnant women with obesity are at greater risk of complications during pregnancy, peripartum and post-partum, compared to women with healthy BMI. Worldwide data demonstrating the changes in trends of maternal overweight and obesity prevalence informs service development to address maternal obesity, while directing resources to areas of greatest need. This systematic review and meta-analysis of population level data sought to evaluate global temporal changes in prevalence of maternal obesity and overweight/obesity, and compare trends between regions.
Pooled prevalence of obesity and overweight/obesity was estimated using random effects meta-analysis. Temporal and geographical trends in prevalence of obesity and overweight/obesity were examined using linear regression.
From 11,684 publications, 94 met inclusion criteria representing 121 study cohorts (Europe n = 71; North America n = 23; Australia/Oceania n = 10; Asia n = 5; South America n = 12), totalling 49,009,168 pregnancies. No studies from Africa met the inclusion criteria. Eighty studies (85.1%) were evaluated as having a low risk of bias and 14 studies (14.9%) moderate. In the most recent full decade (2010-2019), global prevalence of maternal obesity was estimated as 16.3% (95% confidence interval (CI): 15.1-17.5%), or approximately one in six pregnancies. Combined overweight/obesity in pregnancy had a pooled prevalence of 43.8% (95%CI: 42.2-45.4%), approaching half of all pregnancies. In each continent, an upward trend similar to the global trend was observed. North America demonstrated the highest prevalence (obesity: 18.7% (95%CI: 15.0-23.2%)); overweight/obesity: 47.0% (95%CI: 45.7-48.3%)) and Asia demonstrated the lowest prevalence (obesity: 10.8% (95%CI: 7.0-16.5%)); overweight/obesity: 28.5% (95%CI: 18.3-41.5%)). Both maternal obesity and combined overweight/obesity prevalence increased annually by 0.34% and 0.64% (p < 0.001), respectively. Our linear regression model estimates current global prevalence of maternal obesity as 20.9% (95%CI 18.6-23.1%) and projects that this will increase to 23.3% (95%CI 20.3-26.2%) by 2030.
Globally, maternal obesity and overweight/obesity prevalence is high and increasing, but varies greatly between regions, being highest in North America and lower in Asia. Maternity services across the globe should be adequately resourced to cope with the complexity of needs of pregnant women living with obesity. Future public health interventions should focus on reversing the high prevalence of maternal obesity observed across the globe. The availability of population-level data and research varies between regions, with more data required to understand the needs of maternal populations in the continents of Africa and Asia. Globally, there is a need for improved harmonisation and publication of data for monitoring and improvement of maternal inequalities.
Multivers, non merci. Réflexions à partir d’un film en vogue
Authors: Ferraro Guido
Published: July 2024

Nous assistons à un recul progressif des textes narratifs construits de manière classique, en faveur de textes non linéaires, jouant sur le croisement de plusieurs lignes narratives virtuelles. Le récent film à succès Everything Everywhere All at Once, fondé sur la notion de multivers, semble aller dans ce sens. En fait, il s’en distancie de façon critique et par là nous conduit à une série de réflexions concernant la remise en cause du modèle aristotélicien, le rapport entre narration et expérience de vie, et la place des formes narratives dans la culture contemporaine.
Dynamique des Madrasas, institutions d’enseignement dans les villes capitales des Ayyubides et des Mamluks
Authors: Hammad Manar
Published: July 2024

Cet article démarre comme une tentative de sémiotique urbaine centrée sur les édifices de Madrasas, institutions d’enseignement dévolues à la formation de juristes appelés ʿUlamāʾ dans les villes des pays d’Islam. Il explore la dépendance des madrasas envers les propriétés Waqf qui assuraient leur entretien et leur longévité. Ladite dépendance fut initiée au XIe siècle, lorsqu’un vizir combina les institutions d’enseignement Madrasa avec la forme légale du Waqf, installant l’interférence de gouvernants dans la formation de juristes. Cette interaction devint plus complexe lorsque les militaires Mamluks arrivèrent au pouvoir et entrèrent en compétition mutuelle pour la fondation de madrasas. La scène urbaine devint une arène dynamique où des groupes de juristes étaient mis en relation avec des groupes de commandants militaires, les deux catégories s’appuyant sur des propriétés institutionnelles immobilières (Waqf pour les ʿUlamāʾ, Iqṭāʿ pour les Mamluks) distribuées dans la ville et son terroir. Leur interaction avait un caractère idéologique-politique, déterminant les effets de sens déployés dans l’espace urbain durant deux siècles et demi. La symétrie structurelle arriva à son terme avec la conquête ottomane, qui mit en place des règles pour un jeu social combinant dans l’espace les isotopies de la religion, de l’économie et du contrôle militaire. (Il est recommandé au lecteur de disposer d’une certaine familiarité avec la culture islamique, mais tous les termes spécifiques sont explicités dans le texte).

Authors: Windiarko Mohammad
Published: July 2024

The government officially increased the price of fuel oil as a result of the increase in world oil prices and made the state budget funds swell. This research was conducted with the aim of examining various considerations made by the government when raising fuel prices in Indonesia. This research uses a literature study research method with a qualitative descriptive method. The data sources used are secondary data obtained through journal articles, books, news, and websites. The results of this study found that the government felt a dilemma so that it was forced to increase fuel prices due to the swelling of state budget funds for fuel oil consumption, but on the other hand, the impact if fuel prices increased, the prices of goods and services would increase so that inflation occurred. On the other hand, there is an alternative solution to buy oil from Russia which is below the market price, however, if that happens, it can offend western countries and hurt Indonesia's foreign policy with non-aligned movements. An alternative that the government can take is to increase fuel prices while still providing assistance to ensure that the community does not experience the impact too deeply. In addition the government invite people to switch to using electric vehicles to reduce fuel consumption and reduce the impact of carbon emissions produced, as electric vehicles are considered more economical and environmentally friendly

The research was conducted in the Telaga Biru Desert, Bintan Regency, Riau Archipelago. The purpose of this research is to explore the tourism potential of the Telaga Biru Desert ecotourism destination and collaborative management that can be applied as an effort to develop a sustainable tourism area. Gurun Pasir Telaga Biru is part of an industrial area owned by PT Surya Bangun Pertiwi (SBP) with a land reserve of 4,000 hectares. Telaga Biru Desert has an area of 50 hectares which is planned as an industrial area green belt because of its location close to the Bintan airport. This research uses mixed methods, namely analysis from observations and interviews supported by quantitative data using Maple 2017 to understand the economic value and willingness of tourists to pay when visiting the tourist destination of the Telaga Biru Desert Desert. PT Surya Bangun Pertiwi (SBP) can use the Total Economic Value results as a data review to decide whether to keep the area as idle land or develop it as a nature-based tourism destination. The total economic value of the Telaga Biru Desert is IDR 493,950,214,550 per year, which means the economic value is IDR 862,290 per meter2. This figure is relatively high when compared to small businesses in providing a place with adequate facilities. Tourists can explore tourist areas with various interesting spots and try various kinds of rides provided. This destination will be more valuable if it carries out good collaborative management with more adequate infrastructure and can encourage the growth of MSMEs, education and the social community of the local community.

Authors: Naflah Faulina
Published: July 2024

Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that provides computers with the ability to learn from data. There are three main branches of machine learning, namely supervised machine learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning. One of the categories in supervised machine learning is classification. Classification is the process of assessing a data object where the object is put into a certain class from the number of classes available. An example of a classification algorithm is Naive Bayes with classification using probability and statistical methods. This algorithm is used to classify Bullying and Non-bullying  with a division of training data and testing data, namely 60:40, 70:30, and 80:20 resulting in the best accuracy value for training data and testing data 60:40 of 66%.
Partial Derivatives of Gompertz, Logistic, and Weibull Non-Linear Growth Models on Confirmed COVID-19 Cases
Authors: Utami Dewi Wardhani , Warsono
Published: July 2024

. The epidemiological picture of COVID-19 is still unknown, and the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 varies every day. Researchers have studied COVID-19 a lot, and many of them have used statistical models to estimate the growth of the outbreak. Non-linear statistical models can be used to describe growth behavior, as it varies in time. The aim of this research is to analyze, compare, and find the best model from the Gompertz, Logistic, and Weibull non-linear models. Daily cumulative data on confirmed COVID-19 viruses in Indonesia for 2020-2021 will be used in this research. The results obtained by the Logistic model proved to be very effective in describing the COVID-19 epidemic curve and estimating epidemiological parameters. The Logistic Model provides the best results compared to other growth models applied by Gompertz and Weibull. The R-Square of the logistic model is 0.9990, meaning that the model is able to explain or predict 99.90% of the data and 0.10% is explained by other factors. However, this research cannot explain the turning point of the curve, because there are many factors other than the model. One of them is the nature of the virus carrier from one place to another, then the behavior of the carrier who has not fully implemented the health protocol rules.

Authors: Larasati Ayu , Suminto
Published: July 2024

This research aims to apply factor analysis to possum data with the aim of simplifying many independent variables into fewer factors. The factor analysis steps begin by grouping the variables to be analyzed and compiling a correlation matrix using the Bartlett test and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test. From the test results, it was found that the variables had sufficient correlation to proceed to factor analysis. After that, factor extraction was carried out using three criteria, namely eigenvalues, diversity percentage, and scree plot, which concluded that the number of factors formed was two. Next, factor rotation was carried out using the varimax method to simplify interpretation. The results show that certain variables have high loadings on certain factors, making it easier to identify patterns. In conclusion, factor analysis succeeded in simplifying the relationship between variables into two factors that can be interpreted more easily.

Published: July 2024

Regresi linier merupakan metode statistik untuk memeriksa hubungan antara variabel respons dan satu atau lebih variabel prediktor.  Dalam sebuah penelitian, satu unit observasi harus diteliti selama beberapa periode waktu, karena mempelajari satu unit dalam satu periode waktu tidaklah cukup.  Oleh karena itu, sebuah pendekatan statistik yang disebut analisis regresi panel diciptakan untuk mengintegrasikan data cross-section dan data time series.  Namun pada kenyataannya, perbedaan kondisi antar lokasi dipengaruhi oleh efek spasial yang menyebabkan terjadinya heterogenitas spasial.  Dikembangkanlah metode Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) untuk mengatasi masalah heterogenitas spasial. Berdasarkan kelebihan kedua metode tersebut maka berkembanglah suatu metode yang menggabungkan antara regresi data panel dan GWR yaitu Geographically Weighted Panel Regression (GWPR).  Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi indeks pembangunan manusia (IPM) di Indonesia tahun 2017-2022 dan menentukan model terbaik dengan membandingkan model regresi global dan GWPR.  Model GWPR dengan pembobot adaptive bisquare merupakan model terbaik dengan nilai AIC terkecil dan R^2 terbesar.  Secara keseluruhan semua variabel prediktor yang digunakan dalam penelitian berpengaruh signifikan terhadap IPM pada taraf signifikansi α=0,05.  Persamaan model dan variabel yang berpengaruh signifikan yang dihasilkan dalam pemodelan GWPR berbeda untuk setiap provinsi.  Berdasarkan kesamaan variabel yang mempengaruhi IPM di provinsi yang letaknya berdekatan membentuk 8 kelompok.

Regresi robust merupakan sebuah metode yang dikembangkan untuk memiliki kinerja yang baik ketika data yang dianalisis menyimpang dari asumsi yang mendasari, misalnya terdapat pencilan yang dapat menyebabkan galat menjadi tidak berdistribusi normal. Salah satu metode estimasi pada regresi robust adalah S-estimator, metode ini memiliki fungsi pembobot antara lain pembobot Welsch dan Tukey Bisquare. Pada penelitian ini, kami membandingkan bobot-bobot pada metode S-estimator pada data berukuran: 30, 60, 100 dan 200 yang diberikan kontaminasi pencilan sebesar: 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% dan 30%. Berdasarkan hasil simulasi diperoleh bahwa kedua pembobot menghasilkan nilai MSE (Mean Square Error) dan bias yang serupa. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa kedua pembobot memberikan hasil yang sesuai dan sama baiknya pada regresi S-estimator. 
Robust regression is a method developed to have good performance when the analyzed data deviates from the underlying assumptions, for example, there are outliers that can cause errors to be not normally distributed.  One of the estimation methods in robust regression is the S-estimator, this method has weighting functions, including the Welsch and Tukey Bisquare weights.  In this study, we compared the weights in the S-estimator method on data sizes: 30, 60, 100 and 200 which were given outlier contamination of: 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%.  Based on the simulation results, it is found that the two weights produce similar MSE (Mean Square Error) and bias values.  So it can be concluded that the two weights provide appropriate and equally good results in the S-estimator regression
The Influence of Company Fundamentals and Director Characteristic towards Fair Value Measurement in the Indonesian Banking Industry
Authors: Haryono Riska Delisa , Nugraheni Bernadia Linggar Yekti
Published: July 2024

Fair value is part of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) which attract attention of researchers due to its controversial issues. Studies investigating factors influencing opportunistic behaviour through fair value figures in developing countries are limited. This study aims to investigate the effect of company fundamental factors on fair value. This research applies multiple regression of banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2018 to 2022. The fundamental factors, as independent variables are return on equity (ROE), ratio of operating expense on operating income (OEOI), capital adequacy ratio (CAR) and the proportion of female directors. Meanwhile, the dependent variable is fair value through modelling calculation i.e. fair value level 3 inputs. This study found that only OEOI significant influence fair value level 3 inputs. Meanwhile, ROE, CAR, and the proportion of females in the board of directors does not significant influence on fair value level 3 inputs. The study implications Indonesian banking industries should prioritize fair value disclosure, especially at level 3, as it provides crucial information about a company's performance and condition, potentially enabling investors to evaluate its performance.
A Study of the Implementation of PSAK 74 on Firm's Value of Insurance Companies in Indonesia
Authors: Julyono Aulia Veronica , Purnamasari Vena
Published: July 2024

Firm’s value plays an important role for both company management and investors in investment decisions. Often, net profit or revenue is closely related to the creation of firm’s value. This research examines whether the application of the Pernyataan Standar Akuntansi Keuangan (PSAK) or Indonesian Financial Accounting Standards Board 74 affects company value as measured using Tobin’s Q. Standards for insurance company contracts have changed based on the adoption of IFRS 17, and are still being prepared and conducted in-depth studies. This research uses a quantitative approach with panel data regression testing using STATA. Data was collected in the form of secondary data on insurance companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2012 to 2022, using a purposive sampling method. The results of the research show that operational profit (loss) from the new face of insurance company financial reports has a positive effect, while insurance company investment profit (loss) has a negative effect on company value. This research expands the study of the implications of implementing PSAK 74 for insurance companies in the future.

Authors: Banzuela Melanie Ramiro , Silapan Lauro Cipriano , M Arnaiz Jr., Jovenal
Published: July 2024

The paper traces the managerial plans and decisions made towards the development of the Center for Social Entrepreneurship of the University of San Carlos in Cebu City, Philippines under the auspices of the School of Business and Economics and Santa Clara University's Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship in California. Using the action research approach, the Center and its two Accelerator Programs namely the Global Social Benefit Institute Boost and Online Accelerator Programs were studied. Participants for the first cohorts were called Potential Social Enterprises (PSEs) and Mature Social Enterprise (MSEs) for the  Boost and Online Accelerator Programs, respectively. A total 27 PSEs and 5 MSEs joined the first cohort. Few scholars have studied accelerators that support social enterprises. In contrast to incubators, accelerators expose social entrepreneurs to market forces and provide the intense process of mentoring, education, and expansion of networks which have a lasting impact on participants. Overall, both Boost and Online Accelerator Programs proved effective in developing the competencies of the social enterprises. The results presented in this paper covers the period of implementation from the time the center was launched in February 2018 to February 2019. This study will cover the progress towards the center's goals, verifiable indicators, activities conducted, survey results, key insights and initial recommendations moving forward. The findings of the study support similar findings of other authors that accelerators for social enterprises play an important role in developing social ventures. Accelerators can contribute to the development of new ventures at several stages.

New data on the hover fly fauna of Gilgit-Baltistan (Diptera: Syrphidae) with a new country record
Authors: Hassan Muhammad Asghar , Hussain Riaz
Published: July 2024

Gilgit-Baltistan boasts a diverse array of flora and fauna, yet its hover fly species inventory remains relatively understudied. This study expands our understanding by documenting 21 hover fly species, including three new records for the region. Notably, three genera: Betasyrphus Matsumura, 1917, Eupeodes Osten Sacken, 1877, and Helophilus Meigen, 1822, are reported for the first time from Gilgit-Baltistan. Of particular significance is the discovery of Helophilus pendulus (Linnaeus, 1758), marking a novel addition to the hover fly fauna of Pakistan. This research contributes an updated checklist of hover fly species for Gilgit-Baltistan, and information on synonyms, diagnosis, flight periods, host plants, distribution maps, adult habitus and male genitalia of Helophilus pendulus is provided.
Anatolian Livestock Trade in the Late Ottoman Empire
Authors: Köksal Özyaşar Yonca , Nacar Can
Published: July 2024

This book analyzes the expansion of the Anatolian livestock trade, focusing on sheep and cattle, during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries— a period marked by significant changes in state policies, society and environment. It examines the impact of these changes on both human and non-human actors, maps trade routes and networks, and explores their transformations over time, thereby contributing to the literature on Ottoman environmental and socioeconomic history. The book identifies three regions -central, northeastern, and northwestern Anatolia- and four Eastern Mediterranean ports (İzmir, İskenderun, Mersin, and Antalya) as major centers of livestock trade. It examines a combination of environmental, economic, social, and political dynamics that shaped the emergence of these regions as primary suppliers of sheep to Istanbul and the ports as gateways for livestock exports. By highlighting diverse ecosystems and socioeconomic dynamics, and utilizing a variety of primary sources including Ottoman and British state documents, newspapers, memoirs, and travel accounts, the book aims to address several key questions: How did the ecosystems and socioeconomic dynamics of these regions and ports change in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? What were the repercussions of these changes on livestock production and trade? And how did they impact the organization of livestock and meat trade in Istanbul?

Ultrasonic Haptic Devices: Ultrasonic Noise Assessment
Authors: Morzynski Leszek , Podlesna Marlena , Szczepanski Grzegorz , Włudarczyk Anna
Published: July 2024

Ultrasonic haptic technology is one of the more interesting novel technologies being intensively developed in recent years. Such technology has a number of undoubted advantages and potential applications, but it can also be a source of ultrasonic noise. Pursuant to the provisions of the labor law, ultrasonic noise at a high sound pressure level can be a harmful factor for human health. The article presents the results of the assessment of ultrasonic noise emitted by an ultrasonic haptic device and the assessment of exposure to noise of a person using the device. The tests were carried out using one of the haptic devices readily available on the market. Ultrasonic noise emission tests were carried out around the device, at selected points placed on the surface of a hemisphere of a radius of 0.5 m, for various haptic objects. The analyzed parameter was the equivalent sound pressure level in the 1~3 octave band with a center frequency of 40 kHz. Variable sound pressure levels ranged from 96 dB to 137 dB. Noise exposure tests were carried out both using the KEMAR measurement dummy and with test participants of different heights. In most cases, the sound pressure level exceeded 110 dB, and in the worst case it exceeded 131 dB. Comparison of the results of ultrasonic noise assessments with the permissible values of this noise in the working environment shows that in the case of prolonged or improper use of the device, the permissible values may be exceeded.
How Much Voicing in Voiced Geminates? The Laryngeal Voicing Profile of Polish Double Stops
Authors: Rojczyk Arkadiusz , Porzuczek Andrzej
Published: July 2024

Geminates (such as the double /k/ in Polish lekki “light”) form a group of consonants that are mainly characterized by longer durations than the corresponding singletons. Most of the research has concentrated on durational and spectral properties of geminates in contrast to singletons. Much less attention has been paid to the realization of the voicing contrast in geminates and whether it is differently implemented than in singletons. In the current study, we contribute to this research with the data from Polish stop geminates. To this end, a total of 49 native speakers of Polish produced all stop geminates and corresponding singletons in wordforms of the same phonological make-up. The measurements included closure duration, voicing ratio, duration and mean intensity of the release burst. The results showed that the voicing ratio was 0.69, classifying Polish stop geminates as mildly devoiced. There was a significant speaker-dependent variability in that some speakers devoiced all geminates, while others either partially devoiced or never devoiced. The analysis of interactions between geminates and singletons revealed that geminates cancelled voicing cues observed in singletons such as longer durations and lower intensity of the release burst. We discuss the current results in terms of voicing implementation in Polish and in relation to other geminating languages.
Assessing Spatial Audio: A Listener-Centric Case Study on Object-Based and Ambisonic Audio Processing
Authors: Małecki Paweł , Stefanska Joanna , Szydłowska Maja
Published: July 2024

The research explores the production and critical evaluation of two distinct mixes of “Dancing Ends”, a musical composition by Łukasz Pieprzyk. These mixes were engineered using two cutting-edge spatial sound technologies: Dolby Atmos and Ambisonics. The recording process incorporated overdub and multitrack recording techniques. Once created, the mixes were evaluated using a method of direct rating, based on an average rank system from 1 to 5, adhering strictly to the (ITU-R, 2015) BS.1116-3 and (ITU-R, 2019) BS.1284-2 standards. Evaluation criteria included factors such as mix selectivity, depth, width, and height of the sound stage, sound envelopment, tonal brightness, and quality of source localization. Additionally, some criteria were specifically tailored to evaluate characteristics unique to the composition. The evaluations were performed on three different listening systems and environments: surround systems of 5.1 and 7.1.4, and binaural listening. Although Ambisonics’ mix received higher ratings in several categories, Dolby Atmos’ mix was preferred across all listening environments. The results underscore the potential benefits of employing spatial sound technologies in music production and evaluation, offering insight into the capabilities of Dolby Atmos and Ambisonics.

Concepts of management accounting in the context of its definition and relation to the accounting essence
Authors: SEREBRYAKOVA Tat'yana Yu. , MEL'NIK Elena V.
Published: July 2024

Subject. This article examines the present-day essential content of the category promoted by foreign professional associations, and assesses its compliance with the functionality used in the Russian Federation.
Objectives. The article aims to find and describe the essential content of what is called Management Accounting in Russia and abroad due to the lack of a clear institutional scientific justification.
Methods. For the study, we used general scientific methods of cognition, namely induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, modeling, comparison, extrapolation, as well as the comprehensive, and functional-and-targeted approaches.
Results. The article identifies and describes significant problems that underlie the versatility of the semantic content of the term Management Accounting.
Conclusions and Relevance. The Global Principles of Management Accounting is a framework document that defines the principles of management based on accounting and analytical data, but not management accounting in the sense of collecting information and recording and summarizing it. It would be logical to break down the categories into accounting for management, that is management accounting, and management based on accounting data, that is analytical (accounting) management. Language (term translation) inconsistencies can also be considered a negative impact on the understanding of foreign documents. The results of the study of the subject and functional area of management accounting, presented in the article, are useful for continuing the discussion and understanding the semantic content of individual accounting categories.

Authors: KULIKOVA Lidiya I. , MUKHAMETZYANOV Rinaz Z.
Published: July 2024

Subject. This article deals with the issues related to the disclosure of information in the financial statements by organizations providing partnership financing services.
Objectives. The article aims to study the features of the Islamic model of accounting, its regulatory framework and the requirements for disclosure of information in financial statements in accordance with AAOIFI standards.
Methods. The scientific works by contemporary foreign and domestic scientists engaged in the study of the Islamic model of accounting and the problems of disclosure of information in financial statements by Islamic financial institutions served as a methodological basis for the study.
Results. The article finds that religion and ethical standards embedded in Islamic economics have a significant impact on accounting and the formation of Sharia-compliant financial statements. The article also describes the emergence and development of the Islamic accounting model and the distinctive features of information disclosure in accordance with RAS, IFRS and AAOIFI standards. The article provides examples of information disclosure in financial statements by Islamic financial institutions operating abroad and in Russia.
Conclusions. The information disclosed in the financial statements of Islamic financial institutions in accordance with AAOIFI standards is much broader than under RAS and IFRS. The specifics of reflecting transactions on partnership financing are currently traced in the financial statements of companies operating in foreign countries, where partnership finance has been developing for many years. Financial institutions operating in the field of partnership finance in Russia prepare accounting (financial) statements in accordance with RAS, and when preparing internal management reporting, they are guided by IFRS and AAOIFI standards.
