Application of budgeting as a key element of management accounting in the project management system
Authors: Bobryshev Alexey N. , Agafonova Nelly P. 
Published: September 2020

Importance. The limited resources inherent not only in the Russian economy, but also in the global economic system, lead to the need to form new forms of economy and methods of managing them.Project management emerged as a response to the problem of limited resources, since its essence is to direct material, financial and labor resources to clearly defined goals within a specified timeframe. Thus, the application of the project approach in the management of an economic entity allows you to create fundamentally new types of activities, develop and implement innovative products, and implement progressive methods in production activities. However, the functioning of this management system is impossible without information support of the necessary level of detail for making effective management decisions. The development and implementation of the management accounting system provides an opportunity to create a relevant information base for the implementation of projects in accordance with the established time, resource and quality constraints. It should be noted that management accounting tools that are effective in process activities are not always able to demonstrate similar results when implementing the project approach. In this regard, the research aimed at adapting budgeting to project-oriented activities is an actual and practically significant task that can increase the competitiveness of domestic economic entities.Objectives. Justification of the relevance of budgeting as a key element of management accounting in project-oriented activities, highlighting the key features of building organizational and financial structures in process and project activities.Methods. In the process of studying budgeting as the main element of the management accounting system in project-oriented organizations, methods of logical, statistical analysis, as well as Generalscientific methods of cognition were used.Results. The article presents the organizational and financial structure of the economic subject from the point of view of process and project activities, and suggests the cash budget of the projectand current (process) production, which is necessary for the formation of an information base that allows for operational and effective management of the business entity.Conclusions and Relevance. The main task of all organizations, regardless of the volume, type of activity and form of ownership, aimed at maximizing profits, is the optimal consumption of resources, which is subject to management at the planning stage, which requires the development of an objective and flexible budgeting system that meets modern business conditions. The main purpose of management accounting is to generate information about costs in the context of the financial and organizational structure of an economic entity.
Modeling and Prediction of the Impact Factor of Journals Using Open-Access Databases
Authors: Templ Matthias 
Published: September 2020

This article is motivated by the work as editor-in-chief of the Austrian Journal of Statistics and contains detailed analyses about the impact of the Austrian Journal of Statistics.
The impact of a journal is typically expressed by journal metrics indicators. One of the important ones, the journal impact factor is calculated from the Web of Science (WoS) database by Clarivate Analytics.
It is known that newly established journals or journals without membership in big publishers often face difficulties to be included, e.g., in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and thus they do not receive a WoS journal impact factor, as it is the case for example, for the Austrian Journal of Statistics.
In this study, a novel approach is pursued modeling and predicting the WoS impact factor of journals using open access or partly open-access databases, like Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and Scopus. I hypothesize a functional linear dependency between citation counts in these databases and the journal impact factor. These functional relationships enable the development of a model that may allow estimating the impact factor for new, small, and independent journals not listed in SCI. However, only good results could be achieved with robust linear regression and well-chosen models.
In addition, this study demonstrates that the WoS impact factor of SCI listed journals can be successfully estimated without using the Web of Science database and therefore the dependency of researchers and institutions to this popular database can be minimized. These results suggest that the statistical model developed here can be well applied to predict the WoS impact factor using alternative open-access databases.
3D Finite-Element Modeling of Dynamic Rupture and Aseismic Slip over Earthquake Cycles on Geometrically Complex Faults
Authors: Luo Bin , Duan Benchun , Liu Dunyu 
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACTWe develop a new dynamic earthquake simulator to numerically simulate both spontaneous rupture and aseismic slip over earthquake cycles on geometrically complex fault systems governed by rate- and state-dependent friction. The method is based on the dynamic finite-element method (FEM) EQdyna, which is directly used in the simulator for modeling 3D spontaneous rupture. We apply an adaptive dynamic relaxation technique and a variable time stepping scheme to EQdyna to model the quasi-static processes of an earthquake cycle, including the postseismic, interseismic, and nucleation processes. Therefore, the dynamic and quasi-static processes of an earthquake cycle are modeled in one FEM framework. Tests on a vertical strike-slip fault verify the correctness of the dynamic simulator. We apply the simulator to thrust faults with various dipping angles, which can be considered as the simplest case of geometrically complex faults by breaking symmetry, compared with vertical faults, to examine effects of dipping fault geometry on earthquake cycle behaviors. We find that shallower dipping thrust faults produce larger seismic slip and longer recurrence time over earthquake cycles with the same rupture area. In addition, we find an empirically linear scaling relation between the recurrence interval (and the seismic moment) and the sinusoidal function of the dip angle. The dip-angle dependence is likely due to the free-surface effect, because of broken symmetry. These results suggest dynamic earthquake simulators that can handle nonvertical dipping fault geometry are needed for subduction-zone earthquake studies.
Evaluating Proxy-Based Site Response in Israel
Authors: Baram Almog , Yagoda-Biran Gony , Kamai Ronnie 
Published: September 2020

ABSTRACTThree alternative site-response models are developed, using two complementing predictors, accounting for both stiffness and depth effects. The analysis is based on a large database of velocity profiles and their associated calculated amplifications with respect to the local generic rock profile. The frequency of peak amplification—fpeak—is chosen to supplement VS30, after considering the predictability of eight different site proxies. The suggested models are continuous in terms of spectral periods as well as in terms of their predictor parameters—VS30 and fpeak. Model performance is evaluated in terms of the reduction in variability. For example, for a spectral period of T=0.5  s, using either one of the suggested models reduces the amplification variability from 0.4 to 0.18, whereas using VS30 alone reduces it only to 0.24. This improvement suggests that the addition of fpeak is a significant improvement in the midperiod range.

Authors: Deniz Serdal , Yavuz Mehmet 
Published: September 2020

The main aim of this study is to investigate reading error types, reading levels and reading speeds of students with special learning difficulties (SLD). A case study model was used in the research. The research was carried out with 34 students enrolled in Grades 3â€“8, who were diagnosed with SLD in Konya in the 2019â€“2020 academic year. In the data analysis, while â€˜error analysisâ€™ was used for reading error types, the formula Number of Words Correctly Read Ã· Total Word Number of Text Ã— 100 was utilised to determine reading levels. As for the identification of reading rates, the number of words read correctly in one minute was determined. According to the results of the research, the error types displayed by the students with SLD in the texts that are suitable for the classes that they attend and in the texts that belong to lower grade levels than their actual grade levels were found to be misreading, hesitating while reading, repeating, omitting a sound/syllable/word or skipping a line, substituting a sound/syllable or a word, pausing while reading, correction and reversing sounds.

Keywords: Special learning difficulties, reading difficulty, reading error types, reading levels, case study.

Authors: Bahtaji Michael  Allan A. 
Published: September 2020

The study presented investigates the effects of supportive graphical interventions on the graphing skills and conceptual understanding of students in physics. In this study, the first group of participants was presented with ready-made graphs during the instruction, the second group was instructed on the proper construction and extraction of graphs, while the third group was instructed to construct graphs independently. The groups were compared with respect to their scores in the graphing skills and achievement tests before and after the instructions. The group that received supportive intervention in construction and extraction of graphs attained the highest number of high-level graphs constructed and obtained the highest increase in the achievement test scores after the instruction. The results revealed that the use of the supportive graphical intervention in the construction and extraction of graphs improved the graphing skills and conceptual understanding of students, especially for those who experienced difficulties in dealing graphs.

Authors: Zhang Weiwen , Wang Long , Aye Theint Theint 
Published: September 2020

Background:
Asia is the largest continent in the world with a large group of populations. However, we are still in lack of an imputation server with an Asian-specific reference panel to estimate genotypes for genome wide association study in Asia. Currently, two well-known imputation servers are available, i.e., Michigan imputation server in the US and Sanger in the UK. However, the quality of imputation for Southeast Asia's populations is not satisfying by using their genotype imputation services and reference panels.

Objective:
In this paper, we develop ModStore imputation server with a specially designed reference panel to offer genotype imputation as a service, aiming to increase the power of genome wide association study of Singapore in the context of National Precision Medicine.

Method:
We present the implementation and customization of ModStore imputation server on high performance computing infrastructure. Meanwhile, we construct a reference panel based on whole-genome sequencing of Singaporeans, referred to as the SG10K reference panel, for improving the imputation accuracy of Southeast Asia's populations.

Results:
Experiment results show that by using the SG10K reference panel, over 79% improvement of mean Rsq can be achieved for the
imputation of three Singapore ethnic populations data set, i.e., Malay, Chinese, and Indian, under MAF<0.005 compared to the
1000 Genome reference panel.

Conclusion:
With ModStore imputation server, genotype imputation can be performed more accurately for data derived from array-based pharmacogenomics and pre-existing Southeast Asia's population-scale genetic.

:
Metal nanoparticular synthesis techniques essentially involve a reduction of metal ions to
convert them into nanoparticles. Reducing agents originate from natural and synthetic sources. Chemical
methods involve the application of synthetic agents that are not healthy and eco-friendly and thus,
there is a need for green methods. Green synthesis methods involve the reduction of metal ions using
plant-based extracts or phytoconstituents and microorganisms like bacteria, yeast, and fungi. These
methods have been found to be cost-effective, more efficient and eliminate the application of hazardous
chemicals. The phytoconstituents involved in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles are rich in polyols
and antioxidants, which in addition to reducing properties, also offer stabilization of formed nanoparticles.
Moreover, the size of nanoparticles can also be controlled based on the mechanism of reducing agent
involved therein. The present review is an attempt to highlight the methods of synthesis of metallic nanoparticles
with a special mention of applications of various natural antioxidants in their synthesis.
A New Method for Community Detection in the Complex Network on the
Basis of Similarity
Authors: Hussain Munawar , Akram Awais 
Published: September 2020

Introduction:
Regarding complex network, to find optimal communities in the network has become a key topic in the
field of network theory. It is crucial to understand the Structure and functionality of associated networks. In this paper, we
propose a new method of community detection that works on the structural similarity of a network (SSN).

Method:
This method works in two steps, at the first step, it removes edges between the different groups of nodes which
are not very similar to each other. As a result of edge removal, the network is divided into many small random
communities, which are referred as main communities.

Result:
In the second step, we apply the evaluation method (EM), it chooses the best quality communities, from all main
communities which already produced at the first step. At last, we apply evaluation metrics to our proposed method and
benchmarking methods, which show that the SSN method can detect comparatively more accurate results than other
methods in this paper.

Conclusion:
In this article, we proposed a novel method for community detection in networks, called structural similarity
of network (SSN). It works in two steps. In the first step, it randomly removes low similarity edges from the network,
which makes several small disconnected communities, called as main communities. Afterward, the main communities are
merged to search for the final communities, which are near to actual existing communities of the network.

Discussion:
This approach is defined on the base of the unweighted network, so in Further research it could be used on
weighted networks and can explore some new deep-down attributes. Furthermore, it will be used Facebook and twitter
weighted data with the artificial intelligence approach.
