Decision-making on Public Transportation Services Based on the Socio-economic, Psychological, and Environmental Concern Factors
Authors: Ueasin Nattanin 
Published: April 2020

Aim:This research aims to study the socio-economic, psychological, and environmental factors which affect the decision making of passengers with regard to the use of public transportation route from Nong Khai province, which is considered as the border area of Thailand and Laos, to many destinations.Methods:The study was initially carried out by collecting data from 450 passengers using two public transportation services and 200 passengers using private cars. An analysis was conducted by means of descriptive statistics, factor analysis and binary logistic regression.Results:The results showed that the status, age, domicile, self-satisfaction and accomplishment, safety of life and property, and self-consciousness and environmental conservation practice influenced the choice of both the alternatives.Conclusion:To develop a service model, a variety of bus and van services must be provided to match the varied demand of passengers with different levels of purchasing power. It is also important to consider the impact of various factors that affect the public bus service selection, which may result in improved public transport systems. As a consequence, the well-being of border area citizens can be improved.
Rule of Prescription Under Article III, Rule 6 of Hague/Hague-Visby Rules: When Does the Clock of Limitation Start Ticking?
Authors: Abid Adeel , Khalid Yusra 
Published: April 2020

The pursuit of an internationally recognized regime which governs the allocation of risk of liability has been the predominant purpose of maritime law. At the same time, it is also necessary to set a time limit within which a legal action may be brought against the carrier. There are two regimes which govern the carriage of goods by sea and are adopted by many countries, the Hague Rules, and the Hague-Visby Rules and the time limit for claims set out in the rules against the carrier is one year from the day on which the goods are delivered or should have been delivered by the carrier. The rationale behind this is that the carrier cannot be expected to keep records for long periods and must be notified while the events are still fairly recent and recorded, as to what claims are to be presented. At present, Pakistan has adopted the Hague Rules in its Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, 1925 and despite the clarity embodied in the period of limitation as laid down under Article III, Rule 6, Pakistani Courts have given various interpretations to the term “delivery”, resulting in different outcome of the cases. In relation thereof, this article examines and discusses several judgments for decades on the subject of rule of prescription, along with the analysis of Article III, Rule 2 on the interpretation of “discharge”, and puts forward some suggestions and recommendations on the law laid down by the Convention.
The rules for transport documents are based on Hague or Hague-Visby Rules, and therefore, it is necessary at the outset of the article to provide an overview of the transport system in the country. The need for efficient working of the transport system in the country is absolutely vital in view of its role in a country’s economic growth.
Bird Diversity in Nensebo Moist Afromontane Forest Fragment, South Eastern Ethiopia.
Authors: Jemal Ziyad , Girma Zerihun , Mengesha Girma 
Published: April 2020

Background:
Birds are one component of biodiversity. Ethiopia is rich in biodiversity resources. The avian diversity record is far from complete. There is no scientifically documented information on bird species composition and abundance at Nensebo forest. The objective of the study was to assess species composition, relative abundance and distribution of birds at Nensebo forest in southern Ethiopia.

Methods:
We employed a stratified random sampling technique with our study area stratified into two dominant habitat types: moist Afromontane forest and modified habitat. Within strata, we established 20 transect lines of 1km length and 0.25km width to sample 27.75% of the study area. We used line transect count methods aided by binoculars to estimate avian species diversity and distribution. We employed quantitative biodiversity indices, such as Shannon wiener diversity indexes to compare species diversity among habitat types and two way ANOVA to analyze the effect of season and habitat on bird species richness and abundance.

Results:
A total of 105 bird species consisting of 1 endemic, 8 near endemic, 1 globally threatened and 9 Palearctic migrants were recorded in Nensebo forest. Species richness and abundance varied between habitat types in Nensebo forest with mean species richness greater in modified habitat (mean= 4.70 ±1.65) as compared to moist Afromontane forest habitat (mean= 3.95 ±4.12, F=94.66 P<0.001). Additionally, modified habitat (Shannon diversity index= 4.131) harbored higher diversity of birds as opposed to Afromontane forest habitat (Shannon diversity index=3.79).

Conclusion:
The Nensebo forest has high avian species diversity including several endemic and endangered species revealing the importance of this site for bird conservation. Although we found that habitat heterogeneity favored bird species diversity, moist Afromontane habitat is critical for forest obligate species. Hence, sustainable bird conservation strategies including land use planning should be initiated for this area.
The Effects of Gamification on Computerized Cognitive Training: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Published: April 2020

BackgroundThere has been a growing interest in the application of gamification (ie, the use of game elements) to computerized cognitive training. The introduction of targeted gamification features to such tasks may increase motivation and engagement as well as improve intervention effects. However, it is possible that game elements can also have adverse effects on cognitive training (eg, be a distraction), which can outweigh their potential motivational benefits. So far, little is known about the effectiveness of such applications.ObjectiveThis study aims to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the effect of gamification on process outcomes (eg, motivation) and on changes in the training domain (eg, cognition), as well as to explore the role of potential moderators.MethodsWe searched PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, ProQuest Psychology, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Excerpta Medica dataBASE, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Xplore, Association for Computing Machinery, and a range of gray-area literature databases. The searches included papers published between 2008 and 2018. Meta-analyses were performed using a random-effects model.ResultsThe systematic review identified 49 studies, of which 9 randomized controlled trials were included in the meta-analysis. The results of the review indicated that research in this context is still developing and lacks well-controlled empirical studies. Gamification in cognitive training is applied to a large range of age groups and audiences and is mostly delivered at a research site through computers. Rewards and feedback continue to dominate the gamification landscape, whereas social-oriented features (eg, competition) are underused. The meta-analyses showed that gamified training tasks were more motivating/engaging (Hedges g=0.72) and more demanding/difficult (Hedges g=–0.52) than non- or less-gamified tasks, whereas no effects on the training domain were found. Furthermore, no variables moderated the impact of gamified training tasks. However, meta-analytic findings were limited due to a small number of studies.ConclusionsOverall, this review provides an overview of the existing research in the domain and provides evidence for the effectiveness of gamification in improving motivation/engagement in the context of cognitive training. We discuss the shortcomings in the current literature and provide recommendations for future research.

Accounting-Based Regulation: Evidence from Health Insurers and the Affordable Care Act
Authors: Eastman Evan M. , Eckles David L. , Van Buskirk Andrew 
Published: April 2020

ABSTRACT
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that insurers spend a minimum amount of their premium revenue on policyholder benefits. The Act specifies enforcement via a combination of insurer self-reporting, government examinations, and payment of policyholder rebates in cases where insurers fail to meet the required spending amount. We find that insurers' reported estimates are consistently overstated in situations in which more accurate estimates would have triggered rebate payments; publicly traded insurers (particularly those exhibiting poor financial reporting quality) exhibit the strongest evidence of strategic over-estimating. In aggregate, we estimate that approximately 14 percent of insurers engage in strategic over-estimates, and that insurer over-estimates resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in underpaid policyholder rebates. Our study illustrates how a combination of regulatory design choices and lax oversight can weaken the effectiveness of accounting-based regulation and have substantial economic consequences.

Published: April 2020

Tutkimus perustuu Opetushallituksen ja Kansallisen koulutuksen arviointikeskuksen hankkeessa tuotettuun pitkittäisaineistoon, jossa samaan ikäluokkaan kuuluvien oppilaiden matematiikan osaamisen kehitystä on seurattu vuosien 2005–2015 aikana perusopetuksen kolmannelta vuosiluokalta toisen asteen koulutuksen loppuun. Tutkimus kohdistuu matematiikan parhaisiin osaajiin ja siihen, miten heidän osaamisensa on kehittynyt perusopetuksen aikana ja mikä erottaa parhaat osaajat muista. Tutkimusaineisto käsittää yhteensä 2051 oppilasta, jotka ovat osallistuneet kolmannella, kuudennella ja yhdeksännellä vuosiluokalla pidettyihin matematiikan osaamista kartoittaviin kokeisiin. Näistä yhdeksännen vuosiluokan kokeessa menestymisen perusteella parhaiden osaajien joukkoon luokiteltuja oppilaita on 256 (12,5 %). Tutkimustulosten mukaan suurin osa parhaista osaajista erottuu muusta tutkimusjoukosta jo kolmannella vuosiluokalla, ja ero muihin oppilaisiin näkyy selkeästi kuudennella luokalla. Oppilaan aikaisempi osaaminen, käsitys omasta osaamisesta ja vanhempien koulutustaso olivat selkeitä parempaa osaamista selittäviä tekijöitä. Tutkimuksessa havaittiin, että parhaiden osaajien tasolle voi yltää myös keskitasoa heikommasta lähtötasosta.

Evolving into a mathematically high-achieving student during basic education
Abstract
The study is based on the national evaluation of mathematics carried out by the Finnish National Agency for Education (EDUFI) and the Finnish Education Evaluation Centre (FINEEC). The development of mathematical competence of students of the same age group has been investigated during 2005–2012 from the third year of basic education to the ninth year. The study focuses on mathematically high-achieving students and how their skills have evolved during basic education and what kind of factors distinguish them from others. The longitudinal data consists of 2051 students who have taken part in mathematics examinations in the third, sixth and ninth grades. Definition of high-achieving students is based on success in the examination of ninth grade. Total number of high-achieving students is 256 (12,5 %). The results indicated that high-achieving students are distinguished from others in the third grade and the difference between them and other students is clearly visible in the sixth grade. Students’ previous mathematical performance, self-competence and the level of parents’ education were explanatory factors for better competence in ninth grade. The study found that the level of a high-achieving student can be attained also from a lower than average starting level.

Anak adalah generasi penerus suatu bangsa, sehinggatumbuh kembang anak harus diperhatikan dengan baik, dan bahkan tidak hanya menjadi tanggung jawab dari keluarga dan orang tuanya saja melainkan juga menjadi tanggung jawab masyarakat dan negara, mengingat Indonesia adalah negara kesejahteraan yang memiliki kewajiban untuk menjamin hak-hak warna negaranya dengan baik. Dalam hal ini, termasuk hak yang dimiliki oleh anak-anak yang berhadapan (berkonflik) dengan hukum (ABH), meskipun mereka merupakan anak yang bermasalah dengan hukum, mereka adalah anak-anak yang harus dilindungi pemenuhan hak-haknya. Kajian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode studi literaturdan dokumen, berupa buku-buku, artikel jurnal, ataupun jenis tulisan lainnya dan berbagai peraturan hukum dan perundangan yang berkaitan dengan kasus anak berhadapan (berkonflik) dengan hukum (ABH). Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa pemenuhan hak terhadap anak didik pemasyarakatan yang terdiri dari hak untuk bertahan hidup dan berkembang, hak untuk mendapatkan perlindungan dan hak untuk berpartisipasi telah dilakukan dengan baik oleh LPKA. Walaupun masih sangat kurangnya tenaga pekerja sosial koreksional di dalam LPKA yang berperan sebagai fasilitator dan menjembatani ABH untuk mendapatkan pendidikan dan melakukan proses rehabilitasi sesuai kebutuhan anak.

Published: April 2020

AbstractThis paper examines the causality between fraud and bank performance in Nigeria over the period 2000-2016 for quarterly financial data using Johansen’s Multivariate Cointegration Model and Vector Autoregressive (VAR) Granger Causality analysis. The results show a long-run relationship between the variables. Bank performance was found to be linked to Granger fraud variables and vice versa at 10% significant level. This study reveals that there was a direct causal relationship between bank performance and fraud because increase in fraudulent activities in the banking sector leads to reduction in bank performance. Hence, this study recommends that internal control systems of banks should be strengthened so as to detect and prevent fraud. In this way, bank assets would be protected.
The Role of Main Microeconomic Factors on the Stock Prices of Selected Swiss Companies
Authors: Pražák Tomáš 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
This paper examines the role of main microeconomic factors on the stock prices of selected Swiss companies listed on the Six Swiss Exchange. Two basic theoretical approaches and interpretations of this relationship are frequently used. The efficient market hypothesis (Fama, 1970) assumes that stock prices already contain all the relevant information and the theory of arbitration (Ross, 1976, or Chen et al., 1986). The microeconomic factors are based on the financial situation in companies. Financial ratios, taken from the financial statements of the individual companies, are used for the analysis. In general, the study confirmed that profitability and debt ratios are the most important business factors from the prospective of impact on stock prices. The relationship between the observed variables is explored using panel regression analysis. The generalized method of moments for constructing a regression model is used. The sample period of the dataset is composed of annual data from 2006 to 2015.
Analysis of Chemical Composition Homogeneity in the Cross-section of the Rods Produced from Alloys of 6xxx Group
Authors: Vončina Maja , Cvahte Peter , Kračun Ana , Balaško Tilen , Medved Jožef 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The alloys from Al–Mg–Si system provide an excellent combination of mechanical properties, heat treatment at extrusion temperature, good weldability, good corrosion resistance and formability. Owing to the high casting speed of rods or slabs, the solidification is rather non-equilibrium, resulting in defects in the material, such as crystalline segregations, the formation of low-melting eutectics, the unfavourable shape of intermetallic phases and the non-homogeneously distributed alloying elements in the cross-section of the rods or slabs and in the entire microstructure. The inhomogeneity of the chemical composition and the solid solution negatively affects the strength, the formability in the warm and the corrosion resistance, and can lead to the formation of undesired phases due to segregation in the material. In this experimental investigation, the cross-sections of the rods from two different alloys of the 6xxx group were investigated. From the cross-sections of the rods, samples for differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at three different positions (edge, D/4 and middle) were taken to determine the influence of inhomogeneity on the course of DSC curve. Metallographic sample preparation was used for microstructure analysis, whereas the actual chemical composition was analysed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and an energy dispersion spectrometer (EDS).
