Nexus Of Liquidity Management And Corporate Business Failures In Non –Financial Sectors’	A Case Of Nigeria
Authors: Akande Adesola Adebayo 
Published: October 2019

This paper examined the imperativeness of liquidity management – a key survival strategy of listed companies on the Nigeria Stock Exchange Markets and retrospectively assessed the salient variables on delisted corporate firms in Nigeria. Data were randomly collected from ten companies each from 114 listed and 82 delisted companies on the Nigeria stock exchange market records from January 2016 to 31st December, 2018 - healthy listed companies and 2006 -2008 for delisted records of failed companies. In all, twenty companies were analysed with two-tailed test using a significance level of 0.05 to test the possibility of the relationships, The existence of a positive relationship between liquidity management and profitability of corporate firms in Nigeria were established as the result of the study showed that adequate liquidity management spurs rapid cash growth, effective operating activities and profit making propensity of corporate healthy businesses which invariably were lacking in the delisted companies and resulted into eventual failure. Also, a higher cash flow from operations reduce the chance of a firm growing resulting into eventual liquidation. Cash flow from investing activities is however seen as a factor that exert a positive influence generally on corporate businesses in Nigeria. The study concluded that ill management of business liquidity is the major cause of failure of corporate businesses in developing economy and as such cash flow from operations, investments and financing activities of a firm should be adequately monitored by the company managers, investors, creditors and suppliers and even the government to forestall financial distress of companies in developing economy.

Published: October 2019

The expansion of sensitive dataderiving from a variety of applications has requiredthe need to transmit and/or archivethem with increased performance in terms of quality, transmission delay or storage volume.
However, lossless compression techniques are almost unacceptable in the application fields where data does not allow alterations because of the fact that loss of crucial information can distort the analysis.
This paper introduces MediCompress, a lightweight lossless data compression approach for irretrievable data like those from the medical or astronomy fields. The proposed approachis based on entropic Arithmetic coding, Run-length encoding, Burrows-wheeler transform and Move-to-front encoding. The results obtained on medical images have an interesting Compression Ratio (CR) in comparison with the lossless compressor SPIHT and a better Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Squared Error (MSE) than SPIHT and JPEG2000.

Published: October 2019

Article explores application methods for systems structural analysis to use in study of security in information systems, which is based on variants of general attack scenarios, features of cybersecurity culture, q-analysis, which is part of MCQA . General security system analysis usually is based on different factors, which include technical means, human-related mistakes in different ways and respond to security incidents. Q-analysis presents the basic principles of constructing model of information security systems elements connectivity on the example of two sets: set of threats and sets of security measures for information security and calculated numerical values. Elements of the two sets of are interconnected and form the basis of a system for ensuring their security. These calculations can be used to further determine overall formal assessment of security of the organization.
Orbital Perigee Deviation under Inclination Window for Sun Synchronized Low Earth Orbits
Authors: Cakaj Shkelzen , Kamo Bexhet 
Published: October 2019

Data processing related to the Earth’s changes, gathered from different platforms and sensors implemented worldwide and monitoring the environment and structure represents Earth observation (EO). Environmental monitoring includes changes in Earth’s vegetation, atmospheric gas content, ocean state, melting level in the ice fields, etc. This process is mainly performed by satellites. The Earth observation satellites use Low Earth Orbits (LEO) for their missions. These missions are accomplished mainly based on photo imagery. Thus, the relative Sun’s position related to the observed area, it is very important for the photo imagery, in order the observed area from the satellite to be treated under the same lighting (illumination) conditions. This could be achieved by keeping a constant Sun position related to the orbital plane due to the Earth’s motion around the Sun. This is called Sun synchronization for low Earth orbits, the feature which is applied for satellites dedicated for the Earth observation. Nodal regression is the phenomenon which is utilized for low circular orbits providing to them the Sun synchronization. Nodal regression refers to the shift of the orbit’s line of nodes over time as Earth revolves around the Sun, caused due to the Earth’s oblateness. Nodal regression depends on orbital altitude and orbital inclination angle. For the in advance defined range of altitudes stems the inclination window for the satellite low Earth orbits to be Sun synchronized. For analytical and simulation purposes, the altitudes from 600km to 1200km are considered. Further for the determined inclination window of the Sun synchronization it is simulated the orbital perigee deviation for the above considered altitudes and the eventual impact on the satellite’s mission.

Published: October 2019

Summary
Although crop residues contribute to erosion control, the influence of the tillage depth (TD) on their incorporation has not been studied extensively. The main objective of this study was to determine the differences in the amount and distribution of incorporated crop residues and surface residue coverage if the TD of a cultivator is varied (0.10, 0.20, or 0.30 m). The experiment was carried out on a chernozem soil with winter barley residues in 2016 in Groß-Enzersdorf (Lower Austria). Individual soil cores, each 0.05 m long, were removed using a special device. No significant differences were observed for the incorporated crop residues up to a depth of 0.35 m between the three TDs. The mean values of the incorporated crop residues at a TD of 0.10, 0.20, or 0.30 m were 11.64, 13.30, and 10.82 t/ha, respectively. The distribution of crop residues in the individual depth segments (DSs) showed a main concentration of more than 90% at a depth of 0.10 m and a significant decrease in deeper layers. This stratification was independent of the TD. Therefore, a shallower TD is sufficient for straw management on a chernozem soil in the production area of Marchfeld, which also enables a reduction in draft and, consequently, fuel consumption and processing costs.

Published: October 2019

Summary
There is growing concern about human-induced antibiotic resistance and on the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant, potentially pathogenic bacteria in the environment. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of resistant, clinically relevant bacteria at bathing sites. In total, 27 of 263 bathing sites authorized under the EU Bathing Water Directive (3 per Austrian state) were sampled during the summer of 2017. Samples were tested for antibiotic-resistant bacteria by enrichment in thioglycollate broth and cultivation on chromogenic media. The screening for potentially pathogenic antibiotic-resistant bacteria was negative in 23 of the 27 samples. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria were detected from 4 of the 27 bathing sites: one Pseudomonas aeruginosa and three resistant Enterobacteriaceae (piperacillin/tazobactam-resistant Enterobacter cloacae with high-level expression of AmpC beta-lactamase, carbapenem-resistant Enterobacter mori, extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli). Despite the occurrence of resistant bacteria, we consider the public health risk at Austrian bathing sites as low.

Published: October 2019

Summary
Seed size can influence germination, growth and yield formation of crops. A two-year field experiment was conducted in eastern Austria in 2012 and 2013 with two cultivars (Paula and Tatum) and four seeds size (< 2.5, 2.5–2.75, 2.75–3.25 and > 3.25 mm) to assess the effect of seed size on soil coverage, yield, yield components, nitrogen concentrations and nitrogen yield of spring malting barley. Soil coverage during the vegetation period was higher with a larger seed size in one year. Above-ground biomass and grain yield were not affected by seed size but differed between varieties and years. Seed size, however, affected the yield components. Both varieties had a higher ear density with the largest seed size compared to the smallest seed size. Higher ear density resulted in a lower thousand kernel weight. Grains ear-1 did not differ between seed sizes. Harvested grain fractions, nitrogen concentrations and nitrogen yields were also not affected by seed size.

Published: October 2019

Summary
In times of climate change and increasing societal needs, the pressure on land is unprecedented. Sustainable soil and land use management is only achievable if stakeholders from sectors concerned work together. The aim of the project INSPIRATION (Integrated spatial planning, land use, and soil management esearch action) was the integration of science and interdisciplinary research fields to develop a strategic research agenda (SRA) for sustainable land use and soil management in Europe. This article presents the Austrian perspective and contribution to the SRA, highlights the findings of the project, and identifies the most urgent research needs addressing key societal challenges. The project followed a bottom-up, multi-stakeholder approach to enable an evidence-based collation process of interdisciplinary research needs. Through expert interviews, reviews of state-of-the-art documents, and public involvement, six key research topics of the most pressing research needs in Austria were identified. This Austrian contribution to the SRA is characterized by the need for a communication frame and knowledge transfer among research, policy, and society. A compatible knowledge transfer is pivotal to establish an understanding of shared responsibilities among all stakeholders.

<p>Kelimpahan fitoplankton menunjukkan tingkat produktivitas perairan. Dalam upaya pemanfaatan sumberdaya hayati estuari Sungai Siak, diperlukan kajian kondisi komunitas dan kelimpahan fitoplankton serta hubungannya dengan kondisi oseanografi yang menggambarkan produktivitas perairannya. Untuk itu, telah dilakukan penelitian mengenai hubungan antara kelimpahan dan sebaran spasial-temporal fitoplankton dengan parameter oseanografi di estuari Sungai Siak. Penelitian ini dilakukan secara <em>in-situ</em> di 16 titik <em>sampling</em> pada April, Mei, Juni, Agustus, September, Oktober dan November 2015. Hasil penelitian menemukan 54 genera dari 3 kelas yaitu Chyanophyceae, Dinophyceae dan Bacilliriophycaea. Kelas Bacilliriophycaea merupakan yang dominan (85%) dengan jenis yang terbanyak dan selalu ditemukan di setiap stasiun adalah <em>Chaetoceros</em> dan <em>Rhizosolenia</em>. Kelimpahan fitoplankton tergolong sedang, dengan kelimpahan tertinggi pada Juni dan Oktober serta terendah April. Indeks keanekaragaman (H’) dan indeks keseragaman (E) tergolong tinggi masing-masing 4,39-5,46 dan 0,83-0,94, sementara indeks dominansi (D) termasuk kategori rendah (0,03-0,16). Indeks komunitas ini menunjukkan fitoplankton di perairan ini keanekaragaman dan kestabilan komunitasnya sedang dan tidak ada spesies yang mendominasi. Uji korelasi menunjukkan terdapat keterkaitan yang erat antara kelimpahan dengan Oksigen (0,667); salinitas (0,663), kecerahan (0,628); pH (0,472); arus (0,283); dan suhu (0,046). Komponen utama oseanografi perairan ini mempengaruhi secara signifikan (75%) dengan selang kepercayaan 95%. Meskipun tingkat kecerahan perairan dan kandungan Oksigen terlarut tergolong rendah, namun parameter oseanografi lainnya seperti suhu, salinitas dan pH masih berada pada kisaran yang masih dapat mendukung kehidupan fitoplankton di estuari Sungai Siak.</p>

The anti-inflammatory studies showed the compounds P1, P2, P5, and P6 have produced the noteworthy inhibition on protein denaturation (81.39 - 96.57 %) when compared to standard 98.17% whereas, the antiproteinase activity was in the range of 84.55- 90.44 % when compared to the standard, 95.95 %. The compounds, P1, P2, P5 (2-Cl, 4- Cl & -NO2 substituent) bearing electron-withdrawing groups and the compounds P3 & P6 (4-N(CH3)2 & -OH substituent) possessing electron-donating group in its phenyl ring system exhibited the prominent activity. Further, to explore the molecular mechanism, the in-silico docking study against COX-2 enzyme was performed. The compounds were also screened for their antibacterial activities. Among them, the compounds P1, P2, P3, P5 and P6 showed the significant antibacterial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogen such as, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Serratia marcescens and Staphylococcus typhi with maximum zone of inhibition within the range of 12-14 mm and 19-25 mm for 100 and 200 µg/ml concentrations respectively when compared to that of standard drug Gentamycin, whose ranges between 15-18 mm and 25-28 mm correspondingly.
Apontamentos acerca do Idealismo Transcendental no contexto da Crítica da razão pura de Kant
Authors: Andrade Renata Cristina L. 
Published: October 2019

Este trabalho pretende oferecer uma exposição e caracterização de certas marcas (sinais) do Idealismo Transcendental presente na primeira Crítica de Kant. Para a realização dos presentes propósitos teremos como apoio algumas passagens do Prefácio à segunda edição da Crítica da razão pura, determinados pontos da Estética Transcendental, bem como tomaremos enquanto base de nossas reflexões a sexta seção da antinomia da razão pura, presente na Crítica da razão pura, denominada de “O idealismo transcendental como chave para a solução da dialética cosmológica”. Entendemos que Kant apresenta, nessa parte de sua Crítica, a caracterização específica e a peculiaridade decisiva do Idealismo Transcendental da Crítica da razão pura. Nossa investigação seguirá as seguintes etapas: i) apresentação da Revolução Copernicana em filosofia proposta por Kant, pois consideramos tal revolução – a mudança de método e no modo de pensar o conhecimento em geral, bem como, em específico, o conhecimento metafísico (filosofia) – o primeiro passo do filósofo em direção ao seu idealismo; ii) elucidação de algumas das conseqüências que Kant extrai das considerações realizadas por ele acerca do espaço e do tempo na Estética Transcendental, as quais assinalam, como diz Kant, a “prova direta” (B534) do idealismo transcendental, ou seja, da idealidade transcendental dos fenômenos; iii) análise e exposição da já citada sexta seção, na qual Kant oferece o que pensamos ser uma caracterização propriamente dita do Idealismo Transcendental da Crítica da razão pura, isto é, o tipo particular de idealidade que Kant atribui a todos os objetos do nosso conhecimento.
A caça ao veado e o erro de Waltz
Authors: Oliveira Fernando Nunes 
Published: October 2019

Os argumentos de Kenneth Waltz em Man, State and War, feitos por analogia à caça ao veado de Rousseau apresentada Discurso Sobre a Origem das Desigualdades Entre os Homens, servem de base para uma teoria que considera que os conflitos internacionais decorrem do fato de os Estados não estarem submetidos a uma autoridade comum com o uso exclusivo da força, bem como para determinar certas características inerentes à relação entre Estados (especialmente o grande potencial conflituoso). Uma teoria como essa é apresentada por ele em Theory of International Relations. Tal teoria é extremamente influente, tendo ajudado a fundar o modelo neo-realista nas relações internacionais. Acredito, entretanto, que os argumentos que tem sua raiz na caça ao veado de Rousseau surgem de uma interpretação equivocada de tal alegoria e que uma interpretação correta mostraria que, tal como ela é descrita por Rousseau, a caça ao veado não serviria de base para os argumentos de Waltz. Mesmo com pequenas alterações, que permitam uma aproximação ao modo como Waltz interpreta a caça ao veado, creio que ela não levaria a uma total independência de teorias que considerem que os conflitos internacionais decorrem do fato de os Estados não estarem submetidos a uma autoridade comum com o uso exclusivo da força e, o que é ainda mais marcante, não levaria a uma consideração tão elevada da ameaça de conflito nas relações internacionais e como tal consideração tem uma influência tão elevada no comportamento dos Estados em tais relações. Palavras-chave: Realismo Político; Rousseau; Kenneth Waltz, Caça ao Veado.

PENGAYAAN KOMPOS TANDAN KOSONG KELAPA SAWIT DENGAN LUMPUR LAUT DAN BIOCHAR SEKAM PADI PADA TANAMAN PADI DI TANAH SULFAT MASAM
Authors: Andayani Sri , Hayat Edi Syafril 
Published: October 2019

Tanah sulfat masam merupakan salah satu tanah suboptimal, memiliki potensi untuk pengembangan budidaya tanaman, namun memiliki keterbatasan : rendahnya kadar pH tanah, hara N,P dan K, kapasitas tukar kation, kejenuhan basa, tingginya kadar Al, Fe, Mn, maka alternatif penggunaan bahan organik tersedia lokal seperti tandan kosong sawit (TKKS) berpeluang dimanfaatkan menjadi kompos yang diperkaya untuk memperbaiki kesuburan tanah tersebut . Belum ada rekomendasi khusus tentang aplikasi kompos yang diperkaya pada tanah sulfat masam. Anjuran umum yaitu aplikasi kompos secara tunggal dengan dosis 5-15 ton/ha. Sehingga perlu metode baru melalui perlakuan pengayaan kompos (compost enrichment) dengan amalioran yang tersedia lokal seperti lumpur laut dan biochar sekam padi. Penelitian bertujuan : menghasilkan dosis terbaik kompos TKKS diperkaya yang dapat meningkatkan pertumbuhan dan hasil tanaman padi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen (experiment design), dengan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Penelitian dilaksanakan di Desa Sungai Rengas Kecamatan Sungai Kakap, Kabupaten Kubu Raya, mulai bulan Maret sampai Juli 2018. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlakuan t3 (aplikasi kompos TKKS, lumpur laut sebanyak 15 ton/ha) memberikan pengaruh nyata terhadap jumlah anakan produktif tanaman padi yaitu sebanyak 18,58 anakan. Selanjutnya untuk variabel tinggi tanaman padi, perlakuan t3 juga menghasilkan rata-rata tertinggi yaitu 89,33 cm. Perlakuan t8 (aplikasi kompos TKKS, lumpur laut dan arang sekam padi sebanyak 10 ton/ha) menghasilkan berat gabah tertinggi yaitu 346,3 gram/m2, dan perlakuan t9 (aplikasi sebanyak 15 ton/ha ketiga bahan tersebut) menghasilkan berat gabah 1000 butir tertinggi yaitu 24,989 gram.
