Implementation of Solvency II and its potential impact on market of insurance companies
Authors: Korbasová Petra 
Published: October 2020

The ambition of this article is to demonstrate positives, but also the fall back of the Solvency II and of the delayed and uncoordinated implementation among the national regulators.
This article summarizes the trends in insurance market regulation following the introduction and consequent implementation of the Solvency II as a new regulatory framework for the insurance companies. Solvency II represents a critical step in terms of tightening of the regulatory framework for the insurance providers, especially by setting stricter rules for reporting and capital adequacy.
On the other hand, Solvency II represent a major risk of increased costs related to implementation of the Solvency II principles in day to day business reporting of the insurance companies potentially harming status quo of the insurance market as the costs related to implementation of Solvency II and their reporting to national regulators.

Published: October 2020

It has been commonly acknowledged that the micro, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a very important and strategic role in the national economic especially in the GDP, the regional GDP, employment, income distribution and the poverty reduction. The population of SMEs in Indonesia has reached up to 53,823,732 units or 99.9% which are distributed throughout the Indonesian regions (The Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, 2012), and in the West Java Province itself there are 8,731,790 business units. This shows that through optimum capitalizing, it would bring significant contribution to the people’s welfare (BPS, 2011).Under the national development program aiming at pro poor, pro growth and pro rural, the counseling program to develop the SMEs should be prioritized. According to Zuhal (2010) the employment rate of 99.5% is the basic foundation and that the counseling and guiding in technological support to increase the productivity has been needed. However, the problem arising is that the competitiveness is pretty low which is due to the financing and marketing (BPS, 2011). Thus the mortality and frequency of shifting in types of business operation has become the common phenomena. The mission as prescribed in the Law number 20 regarding SMEs is to uplift the competitiveness and develop the business climate through a policy regarding partnership. One of the partnership aspects is the mutually beneficial relation between SMEs and the large scale business facilitated by both the Central and Regional Government to stimulate the partnership (Law number 20 of 2008 Chapter V articles 11 and 25).
Partnership is not a new strategy but it has come up as an important issue due to the complexity and risks both in the national and international economic environment as well as the limited capability and resources in a business unit. Therefore the strategic partnership is sought to enhance the relation between the demand and supply in the form of cooperation between independent business organizations. Striving for the sales in the hight competition requires collaborative venture to face technology, extend the resources, increase productivity and quality, and penetrate new markets (Cravens, 2013). Thus, this research attempts to find out to what extent the effect of the strategic partnership can increase the competitiveness and the implication to the performance of SMEs in West Java.

Authors: Tulo Amparo A. , Gempes Gloria P. 
Published: October 2020

Abstract- The purpose of the study was to determine if the training perspective on trainers’ methodology had a significant mediating effect on the relationship between competency potential and career progression of the technical vocational trainers in Davao Region, Philippines. The design used was non-experimental quantitative research utilizing correlation technique. Descriptive statistics, pearson r, regression, mediation through sobel test and medgraph were the tools employed to attain the objectives of the study. The 407 respondents were found to show very high levels of competency potential, training perspective and career progression. It was found out that the three variables were significantly related. However, the result failed to achieve full mediation of training perspective on the relationship between the correlated variables. This implies that training perspective only mediated partially the relationship between competency potential and career progression. The result signifies that direct effect on career progression maybe due to the combination of competency potential and other variables not covered in the study.

Psychological distress is a global phenomenon that affects not only the psychological and physical well-being but also the profession of teachers around the world. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore the experiences of psychologically distressed public secondary school teachers, their coping strategies, and insights they can share to their peers and to the academe in general. The participants of this inquiry were five female teachers from the public secondary schools of Davao del Norte division of Davao region, Philippines who experienced distress caused by school and personal stressors. Furthermore, informants underwent face-to-face in-depth interview. After a thorough analysis of the data using thematic, numeration and cross-case analysis procedures, it was found out that students’ misbehavior was the most common cause of teachers’ distress. On the coping strategies employed by them, it also came out that controlling the emotion was their most usual coping strategy against their distressful experiences. Moreover, teaching as both profession and ministry was the strongest insight. Finally, this study has provided some important implications on how to address the said phenomenon, suggested relevant insights for meaningful learning, and considered vital related topics which necessitate future undertakings.

Challenges in strengthening the Communication and Behavioral skills for greater employability of engineering students: A study of NCR Delhi (India)
Authors: Ghosh Pallavi , Mittal R. K. 
Published: October 2020

Engineering education in the last few decades, has been growng incredibly in importance and reputation due to certain skills, technical knowledge and proficiencies that are imparted to the passed out graduates for their employability. It is an accepted fact that India has an immense potential to be a global technology leader. Since independence, the initial focus of government policy was to develop good engineering institutes and provide engineers required for developing the economy. The setting up of the Indian Institutes of Technology, the Regional Engineering Colleges (and their subsequent conversion to the National Institutes of Technology),were targeted at achieving this objective. Indian engineers established their reputation for advanced engineering and design skills. Engineering in India isalso a preferred option for bright students at the 10+2 level. This has resulted in a spurt in the students intake of engineering colleges primarily in the private sector. Despite this, industry leaders whine about the absence of quality engineers for their industry. Also accompanied by major unemployment rates amongst graduating engineers.
Curiouslyenough, graduates are ready for taking up their jobs, but according to the industry, who will providethememployment for their skills, knowledge and the composite professional values that they bring with them, and in fact they are not considered‘job-ready’ at all.The lowemployabilityis on account of several factors, out of which poor communication and behavioural skills are identified to be two of the mostcritical skill attributes. An in-depthanalysis has beencarried out by developing two detailed structured questionnaires administered on 55 HR Heads from the industry to confirm and ascertain the industry‘sperspectivesabout these skills and on 20 TPOs/Directorsto find out engineering colleges‘ understanding about these skills includingthe challenges and barriersthey face in this process and also to identifypossible solutions.The results clearly indicate mis-match between industry's and institutes perspective on soft skills.The important finding of the study is to develop conducive environment and follow practical/ activities based approach to impart soft skills to engineering graduates
Career Onion: Peeling off the layers for Occupational Preferences and Career Aspirations
Authors: Ahmed Samiah , Ahmed Alia 
Published: October 2020

Vocational psychology carts away the vocational behavior regarding the occupational preferences of every individual, which commences at the period of adolescence. These occupational or vocational preferences are shaped or crystallized through career guidance and theories, which further help an adolescent to climb the career ladder towards achieving career aspirations and success. This research article, focuses mainly on five theories, self-concept development theory, valence-instrumentality-expectancy theory, theory of work adjustment , tournament theory and Maslow hierarchy of needs theory, which help the adolescents with the occupational preferences, assist in climbing the career ladder from growth stage to retirement stage, ultimately resulting in achieving career aspirations. Furthermore, researchers reveal the differences among these theories highlighting unique features of every theory in predicting occupational or career preferences. Researchers also draw the career onion, where every layer of the career onion depicts that every adolescent peels off each career layer (starting from the growth stage until he eventually peels off the last layer of the retirement age) to achieve career self-actualization.

Authors: Asllani Gani , Statovci Bedri 
Published: October 2020

The paper addresses the issues of detection of cases of violations of economic competition by various undertakings (enterprises) such as the prohibited agreements, abuse of dominant position or other discriminatory practices, more efficient treatment in courts of such cases and easier resolution of initiated cases. Besides the national laws governing the protection and development of unfair competition from anticompetitive practices, market regulators, in particular national authorities for protection of competition tend to find easier methods of detecting violators of the market rules. Among the programs that apply in the EU two are the most important: the leniency program and the program of the settlements. Also during analyses and easier detection of cases there are two economic indicators which alerts for possible violation of competition. The paper treats the functioning of these programs and other indicators implemented by the national authorities of competition.

A Comparative Study of Ensemble Classifiers for Paddy Blast Disease Prediction Model
Authors: Varsha M., Dr. Poornima B.  
Published: October 2020

Paddy blast has become most epidemic disease in many rice growing countries. Various statistical methods have been used for the prediction of paddy blast but previously used methods failed in predicting diseases with good accuracy. However the need to develop new model that considers both weather factors and non weather data called blast disease data that influences paddy disease to grow. Given this point we developed ensemble classifier based paddy disease prediction model taking weather data from January 2013 to December 2019 from Agricultural and Horticulture Research Station Kathalgere Davangere District. For the predictive model we collected 7 kinds of weather data and 7 kinds of disease related data that includes Minimum Temperature, Maximum Temperature, Temperautre Difference,Relative Humidity, Stages of Paddy Cultivation, Varities of seeds, Season of cropping and so on. It is observed and analyzed that Minimum Temperature, Humidity and Rainfall has huge correlation with occurrence of disease. Since some of the variables are non numeric to convert them to numeric data one hot encoding approach is followed and to improve efficiency of ensemble classifiers 4 different filter based features selection methods are used such as Pearson’s correlation, Mutual information, ANNOVA F Value, Chi Square. Three different ensemble classifiers are used as predictive models and classifiers are compared it is observed that Bagging ensemble technique has achieved accuracy of 98% compared to Adaboost of 97% and Voting classifier of 88%. Other classification metrics are used evaluate different classifiers like precision, recall, F1 Score, ROC and precision recall score. Our proposed ensemble classifers for paddy blast disease prediction has achieved high precision and high recall but when the solutions of model are closely looked bagging classifier is better compared to other ensemble classifers that are proposed in predicting paddy blast disease.

Authors: Awodu Onuora, Ukagwu Kelechi, Okuonghae Timothy, Azi S.O  
Published: October 2020

Fibre optic vibration sensor (FOVS) converts vibration signal to light signal. Due to its prominent features, distributed fibre optic vibration sensor is preferred to conventional methods. Interest in FOVS has greatly increased over the years in structural health monitoring and vehicular traffic, hence the need to embark on this study. Distributed FOS is employed to measure the frequency of vibration caused by uncontrolled vehicular movement at Oluku By-Pass Bridge. Φ-OTDR is used to obtain millisecond snapshots of the stochastic signal arising thereof. A video shot was also recorded to match the exact timing of each excitation.
Traces obtained show several frequency peaks at various corresponding backscatter level for high and low vehicular traffic. Sampled data analyzed with Fiberizer Cloud software indicates high attenuation contribute to low total loss and low attenuation lead to high total loss. Spectral analyses of the data at low and high traffic for the stochastic signal. The corresponding frequency peaks were calculated and the results used to classify vehicles at low and high speed. The FWHM obtained with double Gaussian model for differential trace shows that high traffic gives sharp peaks with standard deviation less than 0.6 and above 0.6 for low traffic. The analyses identified peaks above 4.0x10-3 for traces with trucks and cars at high speed, while peaks less than 4.0x10-3 were obtained for traces with cars.

Perspektywy badań socjolingwistycznych w nurcie teolingwistyki słowiańskiej – uwagi wstępne
Authors: Wideł-Ignaszczak Małgorzata 
Published: October 2020

Artykuł poświęcony jest opisowi perspektyw socjolingwistycznego badania języka religijnego funkcjonującego w sferze słowiańskiej z uwzględnieniem mentalności poszczególnych narodów oraz zróżnicowaniа religiolektu wierzących i niewierzących. Stwierdzono, iż badania teolingwistyczne podkreślają wpływ chrześcijaństwa na mentalność poszczególnych narodowości, stąd można mówić o dominacji chrześcijańskiej mentalności poszczególnych narodów słowiańskich, co znalazło odzwierciedlenie przede wszystkim w leksyce i frazeologii. Postawiono hipotezę, że osoby wyznające tę samą wiarę tworzą jedną wspólnotę językową, połączoną wspólnymi kontaktami historyczno-kulturowymi i religijnymi, realizują komunikację wykorzystując wspólny subkod językowy.
Перспективы социолингвистических исследований в славянской теолингвистике – вступительные замечания
В статье освящаются вопросы перспектив социолингвистических исследований религиозного языка, употребляемого в славянской среде, с учетом как менталитета отдельных наций, так и отличий религиолектов верующих и неверующих. Констатируется, что в теалингвистических исследованиях подчеркивается влияние христианского вероисповедания на менталитет славянских народов, что находит отражение прежде всего на уровне лексики и фразеологии. Выдвигается гипотеза, что лица, у которых одно вероисповедание, создают языковую общность, объединенную общими историко-культурными и религиозными контактами, осуществляют коммуникацию, используя один языковой субкод.
Leksemy swoiste Nowego Testamentu Biblii Gdańskiej (1632) wobec leksyki Nowego Testamentu Jakuba Wujka (1593)
Authors: Lisowski Tomasz 
Published: October 2020

Celem artykułu jest próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, w jakim stopniu leksyka swoista Nowego Testamentu Biblii gdańskiej (1632) w przekładzie Daniela Mikołajewskiego wywodzi się z Nowego Testamentu w przekładzie Jakuba Wujka (1593).
Leksemy swoiste Nowego Testamentu Biblii gdańskiej (1632) to te autosemantyczne hasła leksykonu tego tekstu, które nie wystąpiły w leksykonach trzech zestawianych z przekładem gdańskim z 1632 roku wcześniejszych renesansowych przekładów Nowego Testamentu, a mianowicie w przekładach kręgu ewangelickiego – w Nowym Testamencie Biblii brzeskiej (1563), w Nowym Testamencie gdańskim (1606) oraz w jezuickim Nowym Testamencie Biblii Jakuba Wujka (1599).
Analiza wykazała, że w zakresie leksyki swoistej ewangelickiego Nowego Testamentu Biblii gdańskiej z 1632 ewentualna zależność filiacyjna tego przekładu od katolickiego Nowego Testamentu Jakuba Wujka z 1593 roku choć jest niewielka, to empirycznie prawdopodobna.
