A Blockchain Based Buyer-seller Watermark Protocol with Trustless Third Party
Authors: Song Chunlin , Wang Hong , Zhang Wei , Sudirman Sud , Zhu Haogang
Published: June 2020

Background:

With the development and innovation of digital information technologies
and new-generation Internet information platforms, new types of information exchange methods
have been spawned. It has broken the restriction of the traditional internet boundary, and integrated
all round connections between people and objects.

Methods:

Based on the above progresses, digital multimedia contents distributed or published much
more convenient on the internet than before and most of them without any copyright protection. The
dishonest owner can easily copy and distribute digital multimedia content without reducing any perceptual
quality. According to the relative concerns, watermark protocol networks play a very important
role in the usage tracking and copyrights infringement authentication, etc. However, most of
the watermark protocols always require a “fully trusted third party”, which has a potential risk to
suffer conspiracy attack.

Results:

Therefore, in this paper, we focus on designing a watermark protocol with trustless third
party via blockchain for protecting copyrights of owners that they want to publish or distribute on
the internet. The proposed watermark protocol includes three sub-protocols which covers the negotiation
process, transaction process and identification processes.

Conclusion:

In addition, this paper also provides a fully detail analysis that describes the benefits
and weaknesses of current solution.

Analysis for Error Patterns of Consonant-Vowel Combinations in Hearing-Impaired Elderly
Authors: Park Sihun , Han Woojae
Published: June 2020

Purpose: Many previous studies related to speech recognition of hearing-impaired elderly have found that the elderly have difficulty in monosyllable recognition under noisy situations, but there is still lack of their specific information to perceive the monosyllables in terms of error pattern. The purpose of the present study was to measure and analyze the prominent errors of consonant (C)- vowel (V) combinations as a function of noise levels in the hearing-impaired elderly. Methods: A total of twenty older adults with sensorineural hearing loss participated. While randomly presenting 122 syllables which consisted of the Korean CV and VC combinations under quiet and two signalto-noise ratios (SNRs, +6 and +3 dB) conditions, the participants were asked to respond the syllables heard in a way of either discrimination or identification. Error rate (or percent incorrect) and error patterns of the syllables were analyzed in each condition. Results: Substitution error of the initial consonant showed the highest rate regardless of the background conditions. As the medial phoneme, the vowel errors were decreased as the level of noise increased. In the final consonant, additional error rate of /k/ was abruptly increased as SNR decreased. Furthermore, it was an interesting pattern that the initial consonants such as /s/, /l/, and /t*/ had a high substitution error rate when combined with /i/, /o/, and /ɛ/ vowels, respectively. Conclusion: Based on the current results, the hearing-impaired older adults seem to have their unique error patterns although there is individual difference. We expect that these results will be fundamental data to understand characteristics of speech perception in the older adults at the monosyllables level.

The irradiation increases the transmission losses in the range of 400-850 nm as the dose grows. It was not found a noticeable influence of adsorbed oxygen on the induced optical losses at the mentioned conditions.
Эффективная интенсивность излучения лазерных импульсов, определяющая вероятность многофотонных процессов
Authors: Зон Б.А. , Корнев А.С.
Published: June 2020

Количественно рассмотрено влияние неопределенности интенсивности излучения отдельных лазерных импульсов на вероятности многофотонной ионизации/фотоотрыва. Рассмотрены как многофотонный режим (на примере аниона F-), так и туннельный режим (на примере атома водорода). Показано, что в многофотонном режиме флуктуации интенсивности заметно изменяют вероятности процессов. Что же касается туннельного режима, то роль флуктуаций интенсивности здесь пренебрежимо мала, причем не только в области насыщения, но и вдали от нее. Ключевые слова: многофотонная ионизация, туннельная ионизация, нелинейная статистическая оптика.
Examining Social Capital, Social Support, and Language Use in an Online Depression Forum: Social Network and Content Analysis
Authors: Pan Wenjing , Feng Bo , Shen Cuihua
Published: June 2020

Background

The use of peer-to-peer online support groups and communities has grown into a social phenomenon. Many people use online support groups and communities to seek and provide social support. It is essential to examine how users’ participation behaviors may contribute to different outcomes.

Objective

This study aimed to (1) use the structural positions of online depression forum users in their reply network to predict received support and (2) examine their language use reflecting their health conditions.

Methods

A total of 2061 users and their 62,274 replies posted on a depression forum from July 2004 to July 2014 were extracted using a web crawler written in Python. The content of the forum users’ posts and replies and their reply patterns were examined. A social network analysis method was used to build the reply networks of users. The computerized text analysis method was used to measure features of the forum users’ language styles.

Results

Forum users’ bridging social capital (operationalized as network betweenness) was positively associated with the level of communication accommodation in their received replies (P=.04). Forum users’ bonding social capital (operationalized as network constraint) was negatively associated with the level of communication accommodation in their received replies (P<.001). The forum users’ change in their use of self-referent words and words expressing negative emotions were examined as linguistic proxies for their health conditions and mental states. The results revealed a general negative association between the number of received replies and the degree of decrease in the use of words expressing negative emotion (P=.007).

Conclusions

The structural positions of online depression forum users in the reply network are associated with different participation outcomes in the users. Thus, receiving replies can be beneficial to online depression forum users.

Published: June 2020

BACKGROUND

During the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an unfounded fervor surrounding the use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and tocilizumab (TCZ); however, evidence on their efficacy and safety have been controversial.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall clinical effectiveness of HCQ and TCZ in patients with COVID-19. We hypothesize that HCQ and TCZ use in these patients will be associated with a reduction in in-hospital mortality, upgrade to intensive medical care, invasive mechanical ventilation, or acute renal failure needing dialysis.

METHODS

A retrospective cohort study was performed to determine the impact of HCQ and TCZ use on hard clinical outcomes during hospitalization. A total of 176 hospitalized patients with a confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis was included. Patients were divided into two comparison groups: (1) HCQ (n=144) vs no-HCQ (n=32) and (2) TCZ (n=32) vs no-TCZ (n=144). The mean age, baseline comorbidities, and other medications used during hospitalization were uniformly distributed among all the groups. Independent t tests and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to calculate mean differences and adjusted odds ratios with 95% CIs, respectively.

RESULTS

The unadjusted odds ratio for patients upgraded to a higher level of care (ie, intensive care unit) (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.19-5.69; P=.003) and reductions in C-reactive protein (CRP) level on day 7 of hospitalization (21% vs 56%, OR 0.21, 95% CI 0.08-0.55; P=.002) were significantly higher in the TCZ group compared to the control group. There was no significant difference in the odds of in-hospital mortality, upgrade to intensive medical care, need for invasive mechanical ventilation, acute kidney failure necessitating dialysis, or discharge from the hospital after recovery in both the HCQ and TCZ groups compared to their respective control groups. Adjusted odds ratios controlled for baseline comorbidities and medications closely followed the unadjusted estimates.

CONCLUSIONS

In this cohort of patients with COVID-19, neither HCQ nor TCZ offered a significant reduction in in-hospital mortality, upgrade to intensive medical care, invasive mechanical ventilation, or acute renal failure needing dialysis. These results are similar to the recently published preliminary results of the HCQ arm of the Recovery trial, which showed no clinical benefit from the use of HCQ in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 (the TCZ arm is ongoing). Double-blinded randomized controlled trials are needed to further evaluate the impact of these drugs in larger patient samples so that data-driven guidelines can be deduced to combat this global pandemic.

Published: June 2020

PT.Amman Mineral Nusa Tenggara (PT.AMNT) is an Indonesian mining company that operates the Batu Hijau mine. Mining activities can cause a decrease in vegetation cover and can have an impact on increasing surface temperature. This study aims to determine how the impact of mining activities on vegetation density and surface temperature. The change in vegetation density and surface temperature in the mining area can be detected by processing of remote sensing satellite imagery with different data recording times. The data used are five Landsat satellite imagery in 1998, 2004, 2008, 2014 and 2018. Vegetation index extraction process is carried out using the NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) formula. While surface temperature extraction process is carried out using the Mono-window Brightness Temperature method. The results of the extraction process are then used to analyze the effect of vegetation density changes on surface temperature. The results of this study indicate that the vegetation density in the mining area has decreased and the average surface temperature has increased. The results of the correlation analysis showed that the decrease in the level of vegetation density caused the increase in surface temperature in the mining area of  PT.AMNT.

Lamong Bay waters are part of the Port of Tanjung Perak Surabaya. This port is included in one of the busiest ports in Indonesia. Therefore, a study is needed on the condition of the bottom waters and underwater infrastructure buildings to provide information on the safety of the shipping lanes and the landing of the lego anchor on the position of the underwater infrastructure. This study involves exploration activities such as the detection and sweeping of objects at the bottom of the sea and taking sediment samples using side scan sonar instruments and van veen grab sampler. This activity aims to identify the condition of objects of sea cables and pipelines in the waters of the Lamong Bay waters, evaluating the rules of immersion of submarine cables and pipelines in accordance with the Minister of Transportation Regulation No. PM 129 of 2016. The results of this activity will be in the form of a map of sea cables and sea pipes which will be attached to the Lamong Bay Field Painting Sheet. The submarine cable target recorded is in Line A with the cable target detected 2 (two) cable lines. Whereas the sea pipe is located at Lane B. The results of the inspection are to be placed on the Indonesian Sea Map No. 84 to determine the position of sea cables and  pipelines. Each of the submarine cable and pipelines target was analyzed by Minister of Transportation Regulation No. PM 129 of 2016 concerning the regulation of immersion of underwater buildings. The results of the submarine cable and pipelines analysis have met the installation standards even though they are at a shallow depth. This suitability is seen based on dictum 2 (two) rules of burial that burials do not apply to the position of the underwater buildings crossing each other.
La naturaleza de las entidades matemáticas. Gassendi y Mersenne: objetores de Descartes
Authors: Velázquez Zaragoza Soledad Alejandra
Published: June 2020

La naturaleza de las entidades matemáticas ha sido un problema filosófico recurrente en diversas épocas; aquí mostraré que fue una pieza clave en la definición de las posturas ontológicas durante la Modernidad temprana. La piedra de toque para la fundamentación de los conocimientos científicos fue el carácter que se atribuyó a las entidades matemáticas —y, en general, a las entidades abstractas, incluidas las lógicas— en la filosofía natural. Expongo dos posiciones de la Modernidad: la que defendió René Descartes, quien las concibió como entidades perennes, inherentes a la propia constitución y funcionamiento de la mente y la de autores como Pierre Gassendi y Marin Mersenne, quienes defendieron el origen empírico e instrumental de esas entidades.
De la declaración a la existencia de los derechos humanos. Consideraciones de fenomenología y ontología social
Authors: Marín Ávila Esteban
Published: June 2020

En este artículo reflexiono sobre la posibilidad de conceptualizar los derechos humanos como hechos institucionales, lo cual permite enmarcarlos en una perspectiva más amplia que las meramente jurídicas y morales. La propuesta se basa en la ontología social de John Searle, aunque intento replantearla desde la fenomenología de Edmund Husserl y la teoría de los actos sociales de Adolf Reinach. En la parte final introduzco problemáticas relacionadas con el papel de los Estados nacionales en la institucionalización de los derechos humanos. Para ello me apoyo en la idea de Hannah Arendt de que los derechos humanos presuponen el derecho a tener derechos y la pongo en relación con observaciones más recientes de especialistas.

La importancia estratégica de la Batalla Naval del Lago de Maracaibo (1823) en las Guerras de Independencia de Hispanoamérica
Authors: Maita Ruiz José Gregorio
Published: June 2020

Maracaibo fue la mayor victoria naval de la antigua República de Colombia en la independencia, haciendo destacar a su naciente armada. Sin embargo, esta acción bélica ha sido poco valorada a nivel estratégico, tejiéndose a su alrededor varios mitos respaldados en parte por una historiografía repetitiva y poco indagadora. Para la valoración planteada, se estudia el plan de campaña de los colombianos, así como la estrategia y tácticas de su armada, se toma una visión estratégica global y, finalmente, se analiza cómo esta batalla marcó un punto de inflexión en la independencia hispanoamericana.

Authors: Demir Okan , Yıldız Salih
Published: June 2020

Bulunduğumuz yüzyılda futbol kitleleri peşinden sürükleyen, farklı kültürlere sahip insanları bir araya getiren bir olgu olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Futbolun bu birleştirici özelliği ekonomiden siyasete kadar farklı alanlarda söz sahibi insanların ilgisini çekmiştir. Futbol gün geçtikçe büyüyerek finansal açıdan ciddi bir pazar haline gelmiştir. Bu pazarda yer alan ve kendini konumlandırmak isteyen futbol kulüpleri gelirlerini artırmak, kurumsallığını sürdürmek adına marka değerlerini korumak zorundadır. Bunun için sürekli gündemde kalmak ve değişim ve gelişim süreçlerine uyum sağlamak diğer sektörlerdeki şirketler için olduğu gibi futbol kulüpleri için de ön plana çıkmıştır. Teknolojik gelişme ile paralel olarak-özellikle 21.yy’da- kitle iletişim araçlarında çok büyük değişimler meydana gelmiştir. Bu gelişmeler insanların iletişim ve erişim olarak kolayca ulaşabileceği ve kullanabileceği platformların oluşmasına yol açmıştır. Sosyal medya günümüzde bu platformların başında gelmektedir. Sosyal medya sayesinde çok kısa sürede çok sayıda insan ile iletişime geçmek ve onlardan geri bildirim almak ucuz ve kolay bir hale dönüşmüştür. Bu çalışmada Türkiye Süper Liginde mücadele eden köklü takımlarımızdan olan Trabzonspor’un yoğun rekabet ortamında marka değerini korumak için sosyal medya iletişimi sayesinde oluşturduğu etkileşim ile bu renklere gönül veren taraftarların ortaya koyduğu etkileşimin kulübün marka değeri ve bileşenleri üzerinde etkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada SPSS ve AMOS programları kullanılmış, elde edilen bilgiler yapısal eşitlik modeli ile değerlendirilmiş, taraftar merkezli sosyal medya iletişimi ve taraftar merkezli taraftar etkileşiminin takımın marka değerine olumlu etkisi olduğu saptanmıştır.

Facility Location Selection Using Clustering Based Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Çelikbilek Yakup
Published: June 2020

Facility location selection is one of the most important decisions of companies and industries. At the same time, since a business process begins with the selection of a facility location, it is the first step to consider. Everything starts with the facility location selection. If a location far to suppliers, manufacturers or the market is selected, this will lead to increasing costs in the long run for both the company and other items in the supply network. The distant location also affects the mutual contracts in detail. Besides, the facility location has effects on labor costs and other related costs. Almost all of the costs in the company is closely related with the facility location. Based on this mentioned importance, the facility location selection problem is considered in this study, and the clustering based genetic algorithm method is proposed for the solution of facility location selection problem. In the introductory part of the study, facility location selection problem and the related literature is introduced. After, methods used in the solution are presented as K-means clustering algorithm, genetic algorithm and the proposed algorithm respectively. Detailed numerical results of the study is given in the facility location selection section by using Ruspini75 data set from Operations Research Library. All obtained results are interpreted in the results and discussion section and the study is concluded with the suggestions for future works.

Published: June 2020

Yeni pazarlara girmek, değişmekte olan teknolojileri hızla kullanmak ve stratejik esneklik kazanmak için firmalar ürün, servis, süreç ve organizasyon tasarımlarını yeniden ele almaktadırlar. Bu bağlamda modülerlik yaklaşımı daha da önem kazanmaktadır. Servis modülerliği literatürde, karmaşık servisleri organize etmek için geliştirilmiş bir strateji olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Servis modülerliğinin firmalara zaman ve maliyet açısından yarar sağladığı düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, bir taşımacılık firmasında servis modülerliği ve müşteri memnuniyeti dinamikleri incelenmektedir. Çalışmada öncelikle odak taşımacılık firmasının sunduğu üç farklı servisin mevcut durumları incelenerek, bu servislerin müşteri memnuniyeti açısından aksaklık oluşturan noktaları üzerinde yoğunlaşılmıştır. Ardından servislerin modülerlik yapısı ele alınarak, modül olarak kullanılan ve modül hale gelmesi planlanan servis süreçleri belirlenmiştir. Daha sonra, SERVQUAL ölçeğinden yararlanılarak her bir süreç için müşteri değerlendirmeleri anket yöntemi ile elde edilmiştir. Böylece her bir süreçte müşterilerin beklediği ve algıladığı kalite arasında fark olup olmadığı belirlenerek, müşteri memnuniyetsizliğine yol açan durumlar servis modülerliği dinamikleri ile açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçların, servis modülerliği açısından genel anlamda firmalara vizyon sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

The Burden of Difference? School Welfare Personnels and Parents Views on Wellbeing of Migrant Children in Finland
Authors: Säävälä Minna
Published: June 2020

The school welfare system faces a challenge in the linguistically and culturally diversifying school. This article examines how school welfare personnel, native language teachers, and migrant parents conceptualize the wellbeing of migrant children in Finland. The data analyzed by thematic content analysis consists of group and individual interviews of a total of 47 persons: nurses, psychologists, social workers, a headmaster, special education teachers, native language teachers, and migrant parents in the Helsinki metropolitan area. The school welfare professionals and migrant parents views stressed different factors as risks and resources of migrant childrens wellbeing. In school welfare personnels view, school wellbeing is secured by downplaying difference between children of diverse cultural backgrounds; moreover, they do not see negative attitudes, discrimination, or bullying of migrant children as a particular problem. Migrant parents and native language teachers in turn consider or at least fear their childrens wellbeing to be jeopardized by social exclusion, prejudice or discrimination. The school personnel find it difficult to recognize the power imbalance between minorities and the national majority that lies behind these different conceptualizations. This reduces trust and impedes the cooperation of migrant homes and school, particularly in situations when an intervention is imperative for securing child wellbeing.
Defamilialisation Policies and Attitudes and Behaviour Among Mothers in Twelve European Countries. Do results for Denmark, Finland and Sweden differ from the others?
Authors: Weckström Sirpa
Published: June 2020

Diverse family leave and day care policies create varying monetary incentives for mothers to stay at home with their children. They also affect attitudes of mothers and this should influence childcare decisions. In this study, attitudes of mothers towards cutting down on paid work for the sake of family as well as their behaviour regarding childcare at home were studied in 12 European countries. Of special interest were Denmark, Finland and Sweden, three Nordic countries with a long tradition of childcare policies supporting mothers’ work participation. The data is based on the European Social Survey (ESS) Round 2, conducted in 2004 and 2005. The least familialistic attitudes were found in Sweden, Denmark and Finland. A coarse indicator for the effectiveness of childcare policy was devised and indicated that attitudes correlated with the policies in several countries. No correspondence was found between attitudes and average times spent with children at home. Regarding the Nordic countries (particularly Sweden and Finland), the contradictions observed were consistent with childcare policies that affect short- and long-term behaviour in opposite directions. In Finland, a familialistic attitude was relatively common among mothers whose youngest child was under 1-year-old.
Ethno-linguistic Groups during an Economic Recession: Low-income Earners in the 1990s’ Finland
Authors: Härtull Camilla , Saarela Jan
Published: June 2020

Little is known about low-income earners in the Swedish-speaking community in Finland, and particularly how this ethno-linguistic group positioned itself as compared with the Finnish speakers during the severe economic recession in the 1990s. Relating to the ethno-linguistic English-speaking minority in Quebec, we set out to study whether also Swedish speakers experienced a worsening of their economic position. Using register data from 1987–1999, we find that they did not, but rather improved their relative situation as compared with the Finnish speakers, although they on average had a higher propensity for being low-income earners also after the recession. In contrast to the situation in Quebec, no unfavourable language acts or educational reforms were imposed on the Swedish speakers during the study period. We see the results as reflecting a well-functioning welfare state, in which language acts and constitutional rights have worked to protect both ethno-linguistic groups.
Labour Force Participation and the Likelihood of Abortion in Finland over Three Birth Cohorts
Authors: Väisänen Heini
Published: June 2020

There is a lack of studies on the association between labour force participation and abortion. This study examined how the likelihood of having an abortion depends on being employed, unemployed, student or outside the workforce using Finnish register data from three birth cohorts (born in 1955-59, 1965-69 and 1975-79) of nearly 260,000 women. The results differed depending on whether all women or only pregnant women were studied and on the cohort analysed. Unemployed women had a high likelihood of abortion when all women were studied, but among pregnant women students had the highest likelihood. The direction and strength of the association varied by relationship status, age, and parity. The results show that the likelihood of abortion depends on women’s economic position. More studies on contraceptive use and pregnancy intentions in Finland are needed to identify the mechanisms behind these findings.

(YB) has been affected not only by water scarcity, frequent drought conditions; But nowadays provide proof that the major factor responsible for the current of the significant changes in (LULC) in the study area is the Syrian civil war that began in mid-2011, and the Syrian refugee influx into Jordan has been massive, more than 660,935 Syrians were registered in three camps; Za’atri the largest refugee camp in the world, Azraq and the Emirate, according to the Official figures, with the highest density about 58 not 50 person look; Fig.5 in YB. Landsat Thematic Mapper Landsat 5 (2010) and 8-OLI (2018) covering a period of 8 years. An on-screen digitizing methodology has been employed. The images of the study area were categorized into four different classes: vegetation, built-up area, barren area, and water bodies. Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) was applied at a threshold value≥ 0.1 to distinguish between the vegetated area and non-vegetated areas. IN this study, the NDVI and LULC based classification have indicated that significant change in (LULC) between a year 2010 and 2018. The Major change has been found in the vegetation area which decreased by (-12.02%), in addition, an increase of the built up area by (+1.69%). Al-Wehda dam area decreased by -0.08%. Linear regression trends showed a slight decrease in the mean rainfall during the study period (2010/2018). However, this finding is not statistically significant at the 95 % confidence level.

The transition of water-deficient regions to sustainable agricultural development requires taking into account natural, economic and social factors, and restructuring of the sectoral and territorial structure of agriculture. In the case of the Crimean Peninsula, the most important factor was the interruption of water supply through the North Crimean Canal (April 2014). Hence, there was a need to revise the possibility of growing crops in dryland conditions. It has become practically impossible to grow rice, soybean, some vegetables, potatoes, grain corn, pome and stone fruits, etc. Farmers were forced to review grain and fodder crop rotation. They stopped growing crops that required systematic irrigation. Given these realities, a special place in crop rotation should have such plants as pea, chickpea, lentil, sainfoin, etc. The studies conducted by Crimean scientists and experience in commercial production stimulated farmers to grow essential oil crops since they are among the most promising. Viticulture based on the well-developed agriculture and vine growing in favourable areas of the Republic is also promising. Some pome and stone fruits that demand less irrigation are very promising for the Crimea too. Special attention should be paid to filbert, jujube, sweet almond, hazelnut, etc. Considerable efforts should be made to develop animal husbandry. The search for water at depths of 1-1.2 kilometres should be one of the ways to solve problems in the agro-industrial complex (AIC) of the Crimea, as well as wastewater treatment and their use for irrigation purposes. All the aforementioned changes are already taking place in the AIC. But they require significant acceleration and investments in prospective economic sectors.
Turning Water Pollution Sources Into Assets: Exploring Innovative Options Of Using Abandoned Mines For Generating And Storing Renewable Energy
Authors: Winde Frank
Published: June 2020

Through moving large volumes of rock for decades or even centuries from geological underground to surface, industrial scale mining invariably alters the natural local and regional hydrological conditions. Consequences include irreversible changes of flow gradients and water quality in aquifers and streams effected through dewatering, ground subsidence, acid mine drainage, etc. During their lifetime mines spent significant resources and energy on maintaining an ever-increasing diversion from natural hydraulic equilibria through pumping rising volumes of ingress water from ever greater depths, especially if operating below water-rich formations (karst) or in humid climates. Associated pumping costs may even lead to premature mine closure. In cases where complete flooding of closed mines is not an option (e.g. to protect water resources or infrastructure) such costs remain well after mines closed for as long as flooding restrictions apply. In large and densely populated regions in South Africa or Germany, for example, where mining succeeded in triggering urbanisation and self-sustaining economic development it is (currently) assumed that pumping will be needed forever. Accordingly, postclosure water management is no longer only a long-term liability but indeed a perpetual burden placed on future generations that had little direct benefits from earlier mining. This paper focuses specifically on possible ways of reducing perpetual postclosure water management costs specifically of using abandoned mines for generating and storing renewable energy. It discusses successful examples already implemented, concepts investigated but not yet realised as well as technologies that received little, if any, attention to date. The latter range from using mines (included flooded ones) for the storage of electrical energy via different technologies, harvesting geothermal energy from mine water and voids to different ways of transforming chemical energy contained in mine water into electricity.
Effect of the integration into Global Value Chains on the employment contract in Central and Eastern European countries
Authors: Nikulin Dagmara , Szymczak Sabina
Published: June 2020

Research background: In the era of globalization, there is a need to address decent work deficits in Global Value Chains (GVCs). The forms of working conditions reveal a broad dispersion of contents. The literature review exposes hardly any Europe-focused research assessing the socio-economic impact of global production links and going beyond their pure economic effects assessed in terms of employment, productivity or wages.
Purpose of the article: This paper investigates how involvement in GVCs affects labor standards. In particular, we assess how the integration into GVCs impacts the probability of having indefinite type of employment contract, which stands for one of the decent work indicator. Moreover, we draw individual and firm-level characteristics determining the type of employment contract.
Methods: We use linked employer-employee data from the Structure of Earnings Survey merged with industry-level statistics on GVCs based on World Input-Output Database ? the sample is composed of over 5 million workers from 10 Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC) observed in 2014. The involvement into GVCs is measured using a novel approach based on the concepts of global import intensity (GII). We employ logistic regression with robust standard errors.
Findings & Value added: Controlling for individual and firm-level characteristics (sex, age, education level, length of service in enterprise, size of the enterprise) we find that greater integration into GVCs increases the probability of having temporary type of employment contact, mainly in tradable sectors. However, across CEE countries the relation between GVC and employment type is mixed. In this way we expand the existing literature by reporting the effects of GVCs on labor standards in CEEC.
Technological convergence across European regions
Authors: Kijek Arkadiusz , Matras-Bolibok Anna
Published: June 2020

Research background: Given the pivotal role of innovations and technological progress in shaping the economic development of regions and the crucial significance of spatial dimension of innovation processes at the regional level, the assessment of technological convergence in the regional scope becomes an essential research problem. Technological convergence could be identified on the basis of the analysis of total factor productivity (TFP). The significance of the technological convergence analysis results from the fact that income convergence can be both accelerated or impeded, depending on whether the initial differences in the level of technology (TFP) decrease or increase over time.
Purpose of the article: The aim of the paper is twofold. Firstly, we attempt to develop a theoretical framework for the analysis of the technological convergence. Secondly, we investigate the technological convergence (on the basis of the TFP analysis) across European regions.
Methods: During the first stage of the research, we employ the multiplicatively-complete Färe-Primont index to calculate TFP. The second stage of the study includes estimation of spatial panel models applied to assess the level of technological convergence across European regions. The research sample consists of 273 NUTS 2 European Union (EU) regions over the period 2010? 2016.
Findings & Value added: The results of the study confirm a clear division of Europe into the Western European regions with high TFP values and the Eastern European regions with low TFP level. The research also shows that in the Eastern European regions the process of reducing the differences in the productivity levels is faster than in Western European regions. Since the issue of technological convergence is still not sufficiently explored in the relevant literature our paper attempts to fill a cognitive and methodological gap in the investigation of the technological convergence in the European regional space.

Manajemen personalia telah dilaksanakan sejak dulu oleh nenek moyang kita , hal ini ternyata dengan adanya bangunan seperti Borobudur, Piramid di Mesir dan sebagainya. Meskipun demikian karena situasi dan kondisi berubah serta kebutuhan yang mendesak, maka sejak abad ke-20 manajemen personalia mulai dekembangkan dan diusahakan untuk diterapkan. Untuk dapat mengembangkan manajemen personalia maka kita harus sadar bahwa manusia bukanlah benda mati sebab manusia mempunyai perasaan, mereka dapat gembira dan sakit hati , mereka dapat senan dan susah , mereka bukan hanya memerlukan kebutuhan materi tetapi juga mereka juga sering mengharapkan penghargaan dan pengakuaan Dalam mempelajari MSDM ada 3 (tiga) pendekatan yang dapat dilakukan yaitu: (1) Pendekatan mekanis;(2) Pendekatan paternalis, dan (3) Pendekatan sistim sosial.
