Authors: Kusumawati Intan , Astawan Made , Prangdimurti Endang
Published: October 2020

Tempe merupakan salah satu pangan fermentasi yang dikenal luas oleh masyarakat Indonesia. Proses produksinya diperoleh secara turun-temurun, sehingga sangat beragam antar wilayah dan antar perajin.  Salah satu keragaman pada pembuatan tempe adalah penggunaan kedelai pecah kulit sebagai bahan bakunya. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah membandingkan efisiensi proses produksi dan karakteristik tempe yang terbuat dari kedelai pecah kulit dan kedelai utuh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa proses produksi tempe dari kedelai pecah kulit cenderung lebih efisien dibandingkan tempe dari kedelai utuh, yaitu masing-masing dengan B/C 1,89 dan 1,88. Produksi tempe dari kedelai pecah kulit secara nyata mengurangi komponen biaya untuk penggunaan tenaga kerja dan air per batch produksi. Uji T menunjukkan tempe yang terbuat dari kedelai utuh mempunyai kadar air, abu, protein, aroma, daya iris dan kekerasan yang nyata lebih tinggi (p<0,05) dibandingkan tempe dari kedelai pecah kulit. Akan tetapi, tidak terdapat perbedaan yang nyata antar kedua tempe pada kadar lemak, karbohidrat, isoflavon (daidzein dan genistein), dan atribut warna.Tempe is a popular fermented food in Indonesia which the production process is obtained by generations, so it is very varies between regions and producers. One of the variations is use dehulled soybean as raw material. The purpose of this study was to compare the production process efficiency and characteristics of tempe from dehulled soybean and whole soybean. The results of study showed that production process of tempe from dehulled soybean was tends more efficient than tempe from whole soybean, with B/C ratio were 1,89 and 1,88. Production process of tempe from dehulled soybean significantly reduced the cost for labor and water per bacth production. Based on the T-test, tempe from whole soybean more higher (p<0,05) in moisture, ash, and protein contents, aroma and texture than tempe from dehulled soybean. Besides that, tempe from dehulled soybean had fat and isoflavone (daidzein and genistein) contents, and color as high as whole soybean tempe.

GROWTH OF TREE SPECIES IN PROTECTIVE FOREST PLANTATIONS AND FORMATION OF FOREST AND RECOVERY COMPLEXES IN CONDITIONS OF CENTRAL RUSSIAN FOREST STEPPECONDITIONS OF CENTRAL RUSSIAN FOREST STEPPE
Authors: Mikhina Elena , Mikhin Vyacheslav
Published: October 2020

Protective forests in the central forest-steppe of the European part of Russia were created at different times with a diverse assortment of plants. Fast-growing tree scpecies in the composition of artificial linear stands are introduced from the moment of their formation. Soil and hydrological conditions are one of the main conditions on which successful growth of tree species depends. The highest biometric growth indicators in middle-aged plantations in height of balsamic poplar are observed on typical chernozem (0,82 m / year), less significant (0,65 m / year) on leached chernozem. The greatest activity in growth is manifested up to the age of 13 - 18 years. The silver birch tree is characterized by a decrease in activity in height growth since the age of 14 - 20 years. The average annual increase to the 30 year period is 0,60 – 0,74 m / year. In the best soil conditions (typical chernozem), growth rates are higher. In forest belts, both fast-growing (poplar, birch) and slow-growing and long-lasting (english oak) tree species have differences in height and diameter growth depending on their placement in the transverse profile. At the age of 33-45 years, a convex profile is formed, where the average height of the central rows is 10,6 – 16,8% more than the marginal ones and the average diameter of the extreme rows exceeds diameter of average rows by 10,1 – 19,9%. In fast-growing tree species, the active reclamation effect of beneficial protective factors is already evident in youth and at the same time, the width of the inter-strip cells on chernozem soils should not exceed 600 - 650 m.
La posición de la jurisprudencia nacional acerca de la prevalencia del derecho personal inscrito sobre el derecho real no inscrito: especial consideración de la seguridad jurídica y la fe pública registral
Authors: Vigo Saldaña Flaminio Gilberto
Published: October 2020

Cuando un derecho personal real se opone frente a un derecho personal inscrito con anterioridad, la jurisprudencia prefiere al primero. No obstante, se sostiene una postura contraria al indicarse que la oponibilidad de los derechos no debe darse en consideración a la naturaleza de los derechos contrapuestos sino en mérito de la publicidad que hayan adquirido, de lo contrario se enviarían mensajes que propicien, en la mayoría de los casos, fraudes y connivencia con el deudor que pretende burlar el derecho del acreedor
Estrategias populistas en el discurso del M-19 en los medios gráficos a lo largo de su accionar guerrillero (1974-1990)
Authors:   , Caro Pulido Jessica Lizeth
Published: October 2020

Esta tesis analiza las estrategias de comunicación y el discurso político del grupo guerrillero colombiano Movimiento 19 de abril (M-19), durante las acciones realizadas entre 1974 y 1990, a la luz de la articulación entre su proyecto de populismo armado y la estrategia propagandística desplegada en los medios de comunicación. En efecto, consideramos que esta última resultó decisiva en la búsqueda, por parte del Movimiento, de dar legitimidad a la toma de armas como una vía necesaria para modernizar el sistema democrático en el país. Nuestro objetivo consiste en realizar un análisis que vaya más allá de las interpretaciones que han predominado en los estudios sobre el M-19, centradas en el señalamiento de las contradicciones presentes tanto en el proyecto político-ideológico del M- 19, como en la articulación entre su ideología y sus acciones. Proponemos un análisis más riguroso de su propuesta política, que resultó un hito fundamental de la experiencia populista en Colombia cuyos orígenes se remontan a finales de la década del cuarenta. El desarrollo de esta tesis se localiza dentro del campo de los estudios de la memoria y la historia a partir de la reconstrucción del contexto socio-histórico en el cual se desenvuelve el accionar del M-19 (1974-1990). Utiliza como método de análisis el enfoque planteado por el análisis crítico del discurso y las teorías de la enunciación. De manera que nuestra principal fuente de análisis son las fuentes documentales y periodísticas que encontramos en comunicados, entrevistas y testimonios del M-19, así como en artículos de diarios y revistas de tres medios de comunicación: El Tiempo, El Espectador y Alternativa. Para abordar tanto las acciones realizadas por el M-19 a lo largo de casi dos décadas como su discurso e intervención en los medios de comunicación, esta tesis está organizada en tres capítulos. En el primer capítulo describimos del marco histórico y político en el que surge en Colombia un proceso populista, lo cual nos conduce a señalar tres elementos que el M-19 toma de esa experiencia para la construcción de su discurso político: 1) La figura de Jaime Bateman; 2) su ideario en torno a la noción de democracia; y 3) la lógica de amigo- enemigo. En el segundo capítulo exponemos las estrategias de comunicación del movimiento en torno a dos ejes: 1) la participación activa en publicaciones periódicas independientes como Mayorías y Alternativa; y 2) la irrupción en medios de comunicación tradicionales, como El Tiempo y El Espectador. Finalmente, en el tercer y último capítulo exponemos la manera en que el movimiento articuló su ideario político con las estrategias de comunicación mediante la escenificación de su discurso populista en el escenario público, a partir del análisis de determinados núcleos recurrentes en sus comunicados.

Authors: Batenko Lyudmila , Liezina Anastasia , Moskaliuk Victoria
Published: October 2020

Introduction. In recent years, there has been a rethinking of the role of project management in the domestic business in ensuring effective implementation of strategic development plans for companies, ensuring their market success in the face of increasing competition, effective management of the current activities of firms that are project-oriented. This means that, regardless of the specifics of the activity, all companies implement various projects. However, they can be divided into process- and project-oriented. Regardless of which of these two groups the enterprise belongs, there is a need to use project management tools – either in the context of operational activities for the project-oriented business, or for the implementation of various projects in traditional manufacturing or service companies. Accordingly, there is a need to assess the maturity level of project management in order to identify ways for its further development and improvement.
Insufficient attention and awareness of the importance of professional project management are typical of Ukrainian small business enterprises. In the course of their business activities, these entities often work in project-oriented industries on the one hand, and remain quite ignorant about the implementation and development of project management on the other. Their weaknesses are the lack or low quality of application of its methods and tools, ignoring modern developments and innovations in the field of management.
Purpose. To substantiate the author's model of maturity of project management and to determine its effectiveness for domestic small business enterprises.
Method (methodology). The methods of scientific generalization were used in substantiation of theoretical approaches of maturity models; methods of general scientific abstraction, induction and deduction – when developing an authoritative model of project management maturity; analysis and synthesis – to implement the author's model in the practical activity of enterprises.
Results. The scientific results of the work include the author's model, which allows to establish the level of development of the enterprise in the implementation of the project activity. It has been empirically proven that the proposed model is based on the assessment of project management by 24 qualitative indicators and aims to determine one of three levels of maturity: the initial level, the level of formation and the level of sustainable development; contributes to improving the quality of project implementation for small businesses.

Published: October 2020

Introduction. The development of market relations in Ukraine creates new conditions for further improvement of contractual relations in the process of construction of non-current assets, and construction and installation work is one of the important components of economic activity of each enterprise. The technology of construction and installation works has a number of specific features that directly affect the organization and methodology of primary, analytical, synthetic accounting and the formation of their cost. Insufficient theoretical elaboration and debatability of many issues of accounting for construction work, as well as the need to improve the methodological framework determine the relevance of this topic.
Goal. The purpose of the article is to study the methodology and improve the order of accounting for construction work.
Method (methodology). In the course of the research the following methods were used: dialectical, generalization, comparison, system analysis, observation of economic activity, graphic, etc.
Results. It is proved that the order of accounting for construction works depends on the organizational and economic forms of the construction process, a large number of participants with different functional goals and objectives, as well as the dependence of the construction process on natural conditions. It is substantiated that the production of a unit of production in construction production requires relatively long periods, covering the period from the beginning of work to their completion and commissioning, as well as large one-time costs that must be reflected in the accounting system. It is determined that the objects of cost accounting can be individual types of construction and assembly works, a separate building and structure, several buildings and structures, the contract as a whole, a separate production unit, the construction organization as a whole. Accounting for the implementation of construction and assembly works and the order of formation of their cost is determined by the technology of construction production, organizational structure of the construction organization and the terms of contracts for the construction of facilities entered into by customers with contractors. it is proved that the accounting of construction and assembly works execution and the order of formation of their prime cost is caused by the technology of construction production, organizational structure of the construction organization and conditions of contracts for construction of objects which are concluded by customers with contractors. Peculiarities of BIS implementation by contract, economic and mixed method of construction are considered.

Published: October 2020

Introduction. Increase of intensity of international economic activity under the process of internationalization of commodity markets lead to the necessity of search of attractive international markets and segments.
Aim of the article is the development of procedure of international market segmentation strategy and determination of peculiarities of international market segmentation in comparison with segmentation of domestic markets, considering the necessity of evaluation of factors of choice of attractive markets, considering the influence of cultural environment on entrepreneurial activity.
Method (Methodology). Application of methods of scientific generalization, analysis and synthesis gave an opportunity to distinguish elements, that characterize segmentation of international markets; to systemize the factors of international market environment, that influence international market segmentation process, define customers’ characteristics, that influence their purchasing decisions; to distinguish stages of international market segmentation; to describe features and marketing tasks of each stage.
Results. Segmentation of international markets has to be viewed as the systematized process of division of international markets on the groups of countries and groups of individual customers on the basis of their cultural values and motivations concerning their decision making process, that gives an opportunity to satisfy their specific needs and strengthen international competitive positions. The factors that influence international segmentation process are macrofactors: geographic, structural-demographic, legal, economic, scientific, socio-cultural; and microfactors: common market factors (market demand, competitive factors, factors of quality characteristics of the product) and customer-based factors (psychological, behavioral, individual characteristics of customers). The stages of the procedure of developing of international segmentation strategy are: market attractiveness evaluation; competitive analysis; demand evaluation; cultural environment analysis; macrosegmentation of markets; microsegmentation of markets; implementation of strategy and control. The proposed strategy of international segmentation strategy requires forming of the detailed marketing plan to a certain market segment and constant monitoring of its realization in accordance with changes in market environment and motivations of customers.

Authors: Seliutin Viktor , Yatsun Leonid , Olshanskiy Oleksandr
Published: October 2020

Introduction. The article deals with the evaluation of the Kharkiv restaurant industry as a fractal system by means of SWOT-f analysis. Modern ideas about socio-economic systems are based on a synergistic concept that is organically linked to fractal theory. By fractal structure, the restaurant industry is a seven-tier holarchical system that contains such determinants as the assortment and quality of the restaurant service, technology, management, marketing, changes, forms of clustering and competitiveness. The systematic nature of the restaurant industry implies a similar structure of external factors. One of the common methods of strategic evaluation is SWOT analysis. The proposed method of SWOT-f analysis is a modified tool for strategic analysis of sectoral and regional-sectoral systems, which are considered as fractal structures, which ensures the adequacy of their perception and accuracy of forecasting.
Purpose of the article is to identify the main parameters of the modified SWOT-f-analysis as a strategic tool for evaluating the restaurant industry, assessing the strengths and weaknesses, as well as threats and opportunities for the development of the restaurant industry in Kharkiv as a fractal system in three scenarios: pessimistic, realistic and optimistic.
Method. A modified SWOT-f analysis was used to evaluate the restaurant industry, which consists in structuring the factors of influence on the activity of the enterprise on fractal principles, and also assumes the application of three development scenarios: pessimistic, realistic and optimistic.
Result. It is determined that SWOT-f-analysis is a more expedient tool of strategic analysis, since it contains all elements of classical SWOT-analysis; structured as a holarchical system, which gives it greater logic; built on evolutionary principles; has a more reasonable connection between internal structural elements and environmental factors; and also allows to define the limits of setting the goals of the enterprise development in pessimistic, realistic and optimistic scenarios.
The assessment of the strengths and weaknesses, as well as the threats and opportunities for the development of the restaurant industry allowed to identify a more logical and structured profile for each scenario.

Published: October 2020

Introduction. Recent fundamental changes have taken place in all spheres of society, primarily related to the development of technology. The financial sector is no exception: every year both consumers of financial products and services and their producers are more and more committed to the introduction of new technologies. The pioneers of these changes are FinTech companies, which have managed to achieve significant development over the last decade, and which continue to grow. Traditional financial intermediaries are beginning to be wary of their market shares and see FinTech companies as new competitors. However, it is thanks to them that the financial market can reach a new level, and if their efforts are combined with the knowledge and experience of commercial banks - titans of financial intermediation, a number of benefits for them and for the financial system as a whole will be got.
Purpose. The article aims to research the reasons for the rapid development of FinTech companies, possible ways of cooperation between them and commercial banks and the benefits that financial markets will receive from these associations.
Method (methodology). General scientific research methods, such as analysis, synthesis and deduction, methods of theoretical substantiation, statistical analysis, comparison, abstract-logical, graphical and tabular methods were used.
Results. The article describes the main advantages and disadvantages of FinTech companies compared to commercial banks, which are, on the one hand, their innovation, adaptability and speed of response to environmental change, and, on the other hand, the presence of additional risks. According to this, the prospects of cooperation between FinTech companies and commercial banks and the benefits that will be received by all financial market participants were considered. The article also outlines what activities banks and FinTech companies will engage in as part of such cooperation and what stages they will need to go through to achieve maximum results.

Published: October 2020

The article is devoted to the definition and substantiation of the role of the information component in the economic security of the business entity. The object of study is the economic, managerial and regulatory processes of the subject of economic activity in its operation under the influence of destabilizing factors. The subject of the study are the theoretical foundations of economic security of the business entity. It is determined that the strengthening of the role of the information component in ensuring economic security is due to digitalization, informatization and globalization of business processes. It is claimed that the use of the results of scientific and technological progress causes the emergence of new types, tools and products of business, accelerates production processes, intensifies trade and exchange. With the development of new technologies, the number of incidents related to information leaks and cyberattacks in various fields: in financial and media companies, in the field of nuclear energy and others increases with geometric dependence. It is emphasized that a significant part of companies does not pay enough attention to the creation of full-fledged protection systems. It is determined that with the participating enterprise is not only a technical and technological complex for the production of material goods and services. Most economic security researchers view the enterprise primarily as an association of individuals to achieve a common goal. The staff of the enterprise is both a factor of production and a source of its development. It is emphasized that together with a large number of positive effects of the introduction of new technologies opens up many opportunities to harm business. In this case, the subjective factor in information security plays a crucial role, and can both harm the business and lead to its prosperity. Due to the fact that the issues of information security of economic entities as a component of their economic security have long gone beyond sectoral problems and require further careful study at the level of the state and society as a whole.

Supervised Machine Learning for Aiding Diagnosis of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Parisi Luca , RaviChandran Narrendar , Lanzillotta Matteo
Published: October 2020

Background

Knee osteoarthritis
(OA) remains a leading aetiology of disability worldwide. Clinical assessment
of such knee-related conditions has improved with recent advances in gait
analysis. Despite being a gold standard method, gait data acquired by motion capture
(mocap) technology are highly non-linear and dimensional, which make
traditional gait analysis challenging. Thus, extrinsic algorithms need to be
used to make sense of gait data. Supervised Machine Learning (ML)-based
classifiers outperform conventional statistical methods in revealing intrinsic
patterns that can discern gait abnormalities when using mocap data, making them
a suitable tool for aiding diagnosis of knee OA.

Research question

Studies have demonstrated
the accuracy of supervised ML-based classifiers in gait analysis. However, these
techniques have not gained wide acceptance amongst biomechanists for two
reasons: the reliability of such methods has not been assessed and there is no
consensus on which classifier or group of classifiers to select. Specifically,
it is not clear whether classifiers that leverage optimal separating
hyperplanes (OSH) or artificial neural networks (ANN) are more accurate and
reliable.

Methods

A systematic review
and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the capability of such algorithms to
predict pathological kinematic and kinetic gait patterns as indicators of knee
OA. With 153 eligible studies, 6 studies met the
inclusion criteria for a subsequent meta-analysis, accounting for 273 healthy subjects and 313 patients with symptomatic
knee OA. The classification performance of supervised ML classifiers (OSH- or
ANN-based) used in these studies was quantitatively assessed and compared across
four following performance metrics: classification accuracy on the test set
(ACC), sensitivity (SN), specificity (SP), and area under the receiver
operating characteristic curve (AUC).

Results

There was no
statistically significant discrepancy in the ACC between OSH- and ANN-based
classifiers when dealing with kinetic and kinematic data concurrently, as well
as when considering only kinematic data. However, there was a statistically
significant difference in their SN and SP, with the ANN-based classifiers
having higher SN and SP than OSH-based algorithms. As only one of the eligible studies reported AUC,
this metric could not be assessed statistically across studies.

Significance

This study supports
the use of ANN-based algorithms for classifying knee OA-related gait patterns as
having a higher sensitivity and specificity than OSH-based classifiers. Considering
their higher reliability, leveraging supervised ANN-based methods can aid biomechanists
to diagnose knee OA objectively.

Performans esaslı bütçelemeye dayanan yeni mali yönetim anlayışında, Sayıştay’ın başta belediyeler olmak üzere tüm kamu idarelerinin mali alandaki denetimlerinde görev alanı 2003 tarihli 5018 sayılı Kamu Mali Yönetimi ve Kontrol Kanunu kapsamında genişletilmiştir. Bu Kanun’un yürürlüğe girmesinin ardından Sayıştay, idareler tarafından hazırlanan politika belgelerinin değerlendirilmesi görevini içeren kurumsal performans denetimine başlamıştır. Kurumsal performans denetimi dikkate alınarak geliştirilen bu çalışmanın temel amacı Sayıştay’ın performans denetimlerinin, verimlilik, etkinlik ve tutumluluk ilkeleri bağlamında tartışmak ve büyükşehir belediyeleri için bu denetimlerin önemini göstermektir. Çalışma kapsamında 2014 yılı itibariyle Sayıştay tarafından gerçekleştirilen kurumsal performans denetiminin kavramsal analizi, Türkiye’ye bu uygulamanın nasıl yansıdığı tartışılmıştır. Çalışmada içerik analizi yöntemine başvurularak, Sayıştay tarafından 30 büyükşehir belediyeleri özelinde 2019 yılında hazırlanan performans denetim raporlarındaki hatalı uygulamalara yönelik bulgular ve eksiklikler açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuç kısmında ise Türkiye’deki büyükşehir belediyelerinin performans denetimini tam olarak özümseyemedikleri, tespit edilen bulgular üzerinden tartışılmıştır.
