As building industry evolves, stronger more durable and increasingly specialized products are in demand fiber reinforcement took an important role, fiber reinforcement to meet requirement changed with material composition and patterns such as fiber mesh, micro fibers, macro fibers, etc. In this paper analysis of properties of concrete using nylon fiber as fibre reinforcement admixture is studied and verified the strength of concrete to the normal Portland cement. Using nylon fiber the compressive strength and flexural of concrete has increased to very limited extend. As the friction between concrete and nylon fiber is very less, so it gives very less interlocking between concrete.
ENHANCEMENT OF ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY IN POLYVINYL ALCOHOL FILMS BY DOPING WITH Nd3+IONS
Authors: Kumar Vijaya
Published: February 2021

The electrical properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films have been improved pronouncedly by doping with Neodymium (III) nitrate hexahydrate.  Pure PVA and PVA: Nd3+ films have been prepared by solution casting method. Both type of films were characterized by X-ray diffraction technique for structural studies. XRD pattern shows the appreciable shift of 2Ө towards higher value with increase in Nd3+ concentration. This signifies the presence Nd3+ dopant in polymer matrix. Further direct current electrical conductivity (σ) of Nd3+ doped PVA films in the temperature range 500C-1600C has been studied using four probe techniques. For a given concentration σ increases with increase in temperature and with dopant concentration. At 1200C, conductivity of PVA: Nd3+ (10 mol %) film is 7.116 μΩ-1cm-1, PVA: Nd3+ (15 mol %) film is 11.176 μΩ-1cm-1, PVA: Nd3+ (20 mol %) film is 17.418 μΩ-1cm-1 and PVA: Nd3+ (25 mol %) film is 23.740 μΩ-1cm-1. This result indicated the enhancement of the electrical conductivity of PVA films with Nd3+ concentration.

Published: February 2021

Smart specialization strategies, which at the regional level are to serve the implementation of smart growth strategies, are an extremely important tool of innovation policy and strategies. Innovation policy should incorporate elements of scientific, technological and industrial policy. In a narrow sense, innovation policy is a set of documents: strategies, programs, directives, reports, measures and assessments that are supposed to shape it. The article formulates the thesis that without improving the key factor – economic, quality of human capital and social constituting their specific potentials – the implementation of the concept of smart specializations is not possible in weak cities and voivodeships. The aim of the study is to present strategic documents and potentials facilitating the process of selecting and developing smart specializations based on the experience of the region and its medium-sized cities.

Published: February 2021

The subject of research is actual problems of diagnostics of threats and risks of regional development, factors of economic safety, methodological support of its estimation. The aim is to formulate a methodological framework for assessing the economic security of the regions development. The formation of the research methodology is carried out on the basis of theoretical and methodological platform for the development of rating method for assessing the economic security of the region. The use of the matrix method for describing the initial state of the system has been justified; the method of normalized values has been used for bringing various indices. Factors influencing the level of investment activity and economic security of the region have been identified. All factors that change the level of economic security are divided into four groups depending on the macroeconomic indicators, the level of which they take into account. It is proposed to divide them into two groups – direct action factors that increase the level of safety and reverse action factors that reduce it. Indicators characterizing the economic development of the region have been grouped by factors of economic security. For each group, the significance of the impact of indicators of individual groups for evaluation of the economic security of the region development has been determined. To estimate the economic security of the regions' development, it was proposed to use an integral indicator based on the state of general economic development, investment activity in the region and demographic indicators of economic development. Depending on the influence of individual factors, the rank of each region is determined first for each group of factors, and then the integral. According to the results of the assessment of the economic security of regions' development by individual groups of factors and the calculated integral indicator, the place of each region has been determined by the level of economic security. The result of the study is classification of the regions according to certain criteria on the basis of the integral index of economic security of the regions' development, which will allow not only to compare the level of economic security, but also to formulate a nationally balanced regional development strategy and identify priority investment areas.

Published: February 2021

The purpose of the article is to improve the strategic management of human capital in the context of digitalization. In modern conditions, the development of human potential is closely linked with the spread of digital technologies, which are being implemented and rapidly evolving in all spheres of the economy and society. In this context, the effectiveness of the processes of adaptation and competitiveness of socio-economic systems in the long run depends on the development and implementation of the concept of human capital development which takes into account the impact of digitalization processes on the formation of human capital, as well as on the relevant qualitative characteristics that will best meet the needs of the national economy in the transition to a digital model of governance. Methodology. The article is based on international legal acts, laws and bylaws of Ukraine in this area of legal regulation of human capital in the context of digitalization. Both general scientific and special methodology were used for the research: methods of analysis and synthesis, method of description, method of induction, method of deduction. Results. It is proved that the state policy in the field of human capital development in Ukraine today does not meet the modern challenges associated with the rapid development and spread of digital technologies. The consequences of this are already growing disparities in the labor market, shortage of highly qualified specialists with digital competencies at the appropriate level, growing trends in emigration of intellectual capital and gene pool of the nation abroad, reduction of the "middle class" and intensification of social degradation. Solving these problems requires the development and implementation of a Unified State Strategy for Human Capital Development, which will stimulate its formation, development and effective use in the vector of transition to a new technological system, ensure economic growth and high living standards. To this end, the concept of strategic development of human capital in the context of digitalization is substantiated. It systematizes the goals, principles, strategies and tasks of the state to ensure effective processes of human potential formation and its transformation into human capital in the context of implementing the strategy of sustainable development of the national economy under the influence of digital technologies. Conclusions. The strategy of human capital development in the conditions of digital transformations is substantiated. It is a system of interrelated directions, actions and mechanisms aimed at implementing the concept of formation, motivation and use of human capital, which meets the needs of the economy and society and contributes to the competitive advantage and continuous human development in the long run.

Published: February 2021

The purpose of the paper is to identify the components of the enterprise intellectual potential, which are promising areas of intellectual potential management that is the basis of a strategic partnership between business, science and education in the brewing industry of Ukraine. The novelty of the research is represented by the created theoretical model disclosing the specific advantages of such partnership for business, science and education in the context of intellectual potential management. The object of the scientific research is the process of the intellectual potential management and its role in forming strategic partnership of science-business-education. The research method includes the method of structural-logical analysis, the method of analysis and synthesis, the method of comparative analysis, statistical data and information analysis etc. The proposed algorithm for estimating the enterprise intellectual potential at the appropriate level of management includes ten stages, performing of which allows to get the calculated use level of the intellectual potential and its components: 1) providing the definition of generalized components of the enterprise’s potential and its important subspecies; 2) selecting and calculating the list of the indicators for defining the relative efficiency; 3) calculating the relative coefficients’ values for each enterprise considering average values in dependence of the type of activity; 4) aligning the contribution of the each subspecies of the potential; 5) calculating the efficiency coefficient of the consolidated relative use for each subspecies; 6) rationing the consolidated relative efficiency coefficient depending on their product; 7) calculating the potential share of each subspecies in the total value; 8) redistributing the obtained results by the components of the potential; 9) calculating the realized value of intellectual potential; 10) calculating the use level of intellectual potential and its components. The research is based on the Ukrainian brewing industry’s data for the period of 2016-2019. The obtained results highlight the most problematic components of the intellectual resources of the brewing companies in Ukraine such as "human resources", "technological resources" and "management resources". These components are recommended to be considered as the most promising areas of the intellectual potential development of the brewing enterprises in strategic partnership with educational and scientific institutions. The practical value of the proposed instruments for the brewing enterprises is in the use of the adapted graphanalytical model, which gives the opportunity to assess the structural components of intellectual potential of the enterprise and define the strategic directions of perspective partnership.
UK FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN THE OECD, CULTURE AND GEOGRAPHY
Authors: Kristjánsdóttir Helga , Karlsdóttir Fjóla Björk
Published: February 2021

How does distance affect foreign direct investment? Subject of this research is to determine important factors for the United Kingdom, when undertaking foreign direct investment (FDI). The UK is therefore estimated as the home country of investment, investing in the form of FDI in multiple host countries. More specifically, this research measures determinants of FDI outward stock from the UK to other OECD countries. This research examines how distance affects foreign direct investment and provides twofold contribution. First: Hofstede culture distance effects on foreign direct investment is measured. Second: Geographical kilometer distance effects on foreign direct investment is measured. Methodology used in this research is based on the gravity model, presenting a model setup designed for international trade. Moreover, the research applies foreign direct investment OECD data, together with data on gross domestic product and population. The equation specification combines the economic variables with measures for geographical distances, and the Hofstede Culture measure. First regression equation estimates FDI as a function of GDP, population and Culture Distance. Second regression equation estimates FDI as a function of GDP, population and Geographical Distance. This regression setup provides a clear opportunity to estimate the difference between impact of cultural and geographical distance, represented in the estimation coefficients of the regressions. The British Empire has evolved and through time developed the British culture. Purpose of this current research is to examine how cultural distance and geographical distance impact foreign direct investment, with foreign direct investment often being an indicator of the long-term commitment of foreign investors. Furthermore, with the purpose of finding how foreign direct investment is impacted by several different cultural factors, we analyze various dimensions of the Hofstede culture. These are the power distance (PDI), individualism (IDV), the masculinity/femininity (MAS), and the uncertainty avoidance (UAI). Conclusion is that, all taken together, the research finds foreign direct investment from the UK going to other OECD countries to be more highly affected by geographical distance than cultural distance. Which is interesting considering Brexit. Potentially, this is because the UK is not so culturally different from its main trading partners in the OECD, which is an interesting subject for future research.

The COVID States Project #39: Public attitudes towards the storming of the Capitol building

Published: February 2021

The 2020 election produced two distinct perceived realities for the United States public. The first perceived reality holds that the election was conducted fairly, and that Joe Biden won. Individuals who hold this vision of reality feel their votes were counted accurately, and that the events of January 6th were repugnant. This is also the version of reality for 60-70% of the US population. This reality is documented by court cases, our government officials (Republican and Democratic) in charge of administering the election, and the credible news media.The second vision of reality holds that the election was essentially corrupt—driven, in particular, by illegal mail-in ballots, noncitizen voting, and voting machine fraud. In this perceived reality, Biden is a usurper to the presidency. Further, the people who stormed the Capitol had a point, although the worst actions were taken by individuals affiliated with Antifa activists masquerading as Trump supporters. This is the expressed reality of former President Trump, certain Republican leaders, a subset of conservative media, and certain corners of the social media ecosystem. This is also the reality for 25-30% of the US population, and roughly half of Republicans. These two perceived realities are not created equal. The facts, as presented by the fact sorting institutions of the government and media, unambiguously support the first. However, perceptions—especially when they are shared by a sizable number of people and organized in a way that provides access to power—have consequences. The data below suggest that these two perceived realities will continue to define US politics, at least for the near future, because they are clustered around the two parties, and in each perceived reality, the other party is not just an opponent, but an enemy of democracy. In each case, the logical conclusion is that the assumption of power by the other party represents a potentially permanent surrendering of power. Below, we summarize public opinion regarding election integrity and the events of January 6th, and close by discussing the implications of these findings for American politics over the next 4 years.

Published: February 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has consequences for mental health in the general population and for health care personnel in particular. This study aimed to investigate the changes in PTSD symptoms, anxiety, and depression when the social distancing protocols were lifted (T2) following a period with strict protocols (T1). At T1, 1773 vulnerable professionals provided answers to the questionnaire, and at T2, 878 responded once again (49.5%). The data were analyzed using multilevel modeling with maximum likelihood to estimate missing data. PTSD symptoms, anxiety, and depression decreased from T1 to T2. There were no significant predictors of change of PTSD from T1, but a change in strategies and burnout was associated with a change in PTSD symptoms. There was no difference in those who worked directly versus indirectly with COVID-19 patients in PTSD-symptoms at follow-up. The results indicate that health care workers and public service providers have had a notable reduction in PTSD symptoms, anxiety, and depression from the initial phase of the pandemic to the three-month follow-up, where the social distancing measures were greatly lightened. The results suggest that the high levels of PTSD symptoms, anxiety, and depression among vulnerable professionals in the first phase of the pandemic may betemporary.

Testing an online measure of ideal portion size: A pilot study
Authors: Embling Rochelle , LEE Michelle , Price Menna , Wilkinson Laura L.
Published: February 2021

Portion size is known to be a key driver of food intake. As consumed portions are often pre-planned, ‘ideal portion size’ – an individual’s preferred meal size selected prior to eating – has been identified as a strong predictor of actual consumption. However, assessments of ideal portion size have predominantly relied on laboratory-based computer tasks, limiting use online. Therefore, this study sought to pilot test the validity of a web-based tool to measure ideal portion size. In an online study (N = 48), participants responded to images of a range of foods. Each food was photographed in a series of different portions, and loaded into an ‘image carousel’ that would allow participants to change the size of the displayed portion by moving a slider left-to-right. Using this image carousel, participants selected their ideal portion size. They also completed measures of expected satiety and expected satiation, and self-reported their age and body mass index (BMI). A non-parametric correlation matrix was used to explore associations between ideal portion size and identified predictors of food intake. Supporting convergent validity of this measure, ideal portion size was significantly correlated with expected satiety and expected satiation (after controlling for effects of baseline hunger and fullness), consistent with past research. Similarly, supporting divergent validity of this measure, ideal portion size was not significantly correlated with age or BMI. Pilot results support the validity of this web-based tool to measure ideal portion size, though further research is needed to validate use with comparisons to actual food intake.

The relative balance between languages predicts the magnitude of whole-language inhibition.
Authors: Casado Alba , Szewczyk Jakub M. , Wolna Agata , Wodniecka Zofia
Published: February 2021

After naming pictures in their second language (L2), bilinguals experience difficulty in naming pictures in their native language (L1). The “L2 after-effect” is a lingering consequence of inhibition applied to L1 to facilitate L2 production. We proposed that the amount of L1 inhibition depends on the relative balance between current activation of L1 and L2. In two experiments, bilinguals performed a blocked picture-naming task which provided a measure of the relative balance between the two languages and indexed whole-language inhibition via the magnitude of the L2 after-effect. The higher the activation level of L1 and the lower the activation level of L2, the bigger the L2 after-effect. The results also reveal an enduring down-regulation of L1 activation level in more language-balanced speakers. The outcomes support the main tenets of the inhibitory account of bilingual language production and indicate a high level of dynamics in the language system.
The typical-performance emotional management test: Test-retest reliability and further validity evidence
Authors: Neubauer Aljoscha , Hofer Gabriela
Published: February 2021

Situational judgments tests (SJTs) offer many advantages over traditional trait questionnaires but often show low internal consistency, presumably due to heterogeneity of the assessed constructs (Lievens et al. 2008; Whetzel & McDaniel, 2009). Authors have suggested that test-retest-reliability (TRT) might be a better-suited measure for SJTs. Here, we analyzed TRT of the typical-performance emotional management test (TEMT, Freudenthaler & Neubauer, 2005) – and SJT for emotional management. We additionally report further and hitherto not analyzed validity evidence with respect to a maximum-performance emotional management SJT (STEM, MacCann & Roberts, 2008) and the widely used Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue, Petrides & Furnham, 2003). For a 2 week-interval, we found satisfying test-retest reliabilities for both scales of the TEMT (inter- and intrapersonal emotional management; .76 and .83, respectively). Intrapersonal ability correlated moderately to highly with all four TEIQue main factors and the total score, whereas interpersonal ability showed low to medium relations. Relations with the STEM were smaller. Our results support that SJTs can show good reliabilities – when assessed via TRT – and emphasize the importance to distinguish between typical- and maximum-performance tests of emotional abilities.
Employee Reactions to Positive Action Policies in the United Kingdom: Does the Organization’s Justification Matter?
Authors: Marcinko Andrew J , Taylor Chelsey
Published: February 2021

Affirmative action remains a contentious topic in both research and practice. While advocates suggest that such action is necessary to overcome demographic imbalances in the labor market, some research shows that these policies can prompt undesirable employee reactions that negate their value. While positive discrimination (i.e., recruiting or promoting solely based on a protected characteristic) remains illegal in the United Kingdom, organizations have increasingly begun adopting positive action measures (i.e., measures aimed at alleviating disadvantage or under-representation based on protected characteristics). However, there is little research looking at how these policies specifically affect employee attitudes or how different organizational rationales for positive action might moderate these effects. This lack of research is even more notable in the UK context. In two experimental studies of UK professionals (N = 353) we find that perceived organizational justice explained the relationship between positive action and affective commitment / turnover intention. However, evidence supporting the effect of organizational rationale was limited.
Making Migration Sexy: How LGB Policies Influence International Migration
Authors: Hoffmann Nathan Isaac , Velasco Kristopher
Published: February 2021

Both internationally and in the U.S., the policy landscape for same-sex couples is changing rapidly, and surveys report swiftly increasing numbers of immigrant same-sex couples in the U.S. Yet few researchers have studied the relationship between LGB rights and immigration on a large scale. Using the American Community Survey from 2008 to 2019 and original datasets indexing LGB policy changes in 121 countries and all U.S. states over 29 years, this study characterizes and assesses the scale of LGB migration to the U.S. as well as the role of LGB policy. Compared to different-sex immigrant couples, immigrants in same-sex couples come from richer, more democratic countries that are less represented in the U.S. Contrary to previous work focusing on LGB immigrants from repressive contexts, statistical models show that these immigrants are more likely to come from LGB-friendly countries, especially in the years since the federal government began recognizing same-sex marriages in 2013. They are also more likely to live in progressive U.S. states. These findings highlight how sexuality as well as state policies seemingly unrelated to migration can shape migratory pathways.
Prawne ramy pracy zdalnej
Authors: Florek Ludwik
Published: February 2021

Wraz z pandemią koronawirusa szeroko wprowadzono pracę zdalną, odrębną od telepracy. W obydwu przypadkach jest to praca poza stałym miejscem pracy, najczęściej w mieszkaniu pracownika. Prawne ramy pracy zdalnej są takie same jak telepracy. Jest to przede wszystkim umowa o pracę, z reguły zawarta przed pandemią. Praca zdalna może łączyć się ze zmianą innych (poza miejscem pracy) postanowień umowy, jak rozmiar zatrudnienia, czas pracy czy wysokość wynagrodzenia. Pracę zdalną regulują – oprócz umowy – także przepisy prawa pracy, w tym zwłaszcza art. 675–art. 6717 polskiego kodeksu pracy. Praca zdalna jest wykonywana na podstawie stosunku pracy. Jej przeniesienie poza zakład pracy powoduje także modyfikację tradycyjnych cech tego stosunku. W szczególności może to dotyczyć podporządkowania pracownika, osobistego świadczenia pracy, zapewnienia narzędzi pracy, ryzyka pracodawcy czy odpowiedzialności pracownika.
