The Trauma of Loss as a Turning Point in Elizabeth Gaskell’s Works
Authors: Vázquez Blanca Puchol 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to look into how Elizabeth Gaskell reflects trauma in her literary works and what she may have been trying to teach her audience through them. As a social and realist writer, she used narrative as a means to denounce the evils of her time, many of which give rise to social traumas. However, this paper will focus on more personal traumas, particularly the trauma of loss, and also how Gaskell handles these traumatic experiences in her writings. With this purpose in mind, it is important to consider Gaskell’s own experience, how she overcame her own traumatic losses and how she used fiction both to reflect her experience and as a form of therapy. At the end of this paper, we will establish how Gaskell uses traumatic losses as turning points throughout her literary works.
The Seriality of Stephen King’s Overlook Hotel – a Transmedial Maze
Authors: Vujanov Jovana 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This paper investigates three different medial instances of the Overlook Hotel, a space originally hailing from Stephen King’s The Shining. Based on close readings of King’s novel, Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation and a level in the action RPG Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines by Troika Games, the following text argues that the Overlook is a serial figure founded on the concept of malignant space in possession of a potent, and often overwhelming, story of violence that despite attempts at its repression cannot be silenced, as in the tradition of the Gothic ghost story. This basic formula is then traced through different media – the novel, film, and video game – where it is seen as gradually shifting its focus from the fictional characters to the recipient, which represents the intersection between the particular affordances of the respective media and the figure of a spatially-bound aggressive storyteller.
The Power of Recipes: Culinary Practice as a Strategy to Deconstruct Arab-American Identity in Diana Abu-Jaber’s Crescent
Authors: Berrebbah Ishak 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Crescent (2003) is an example of the kind of Arab-American literature that has emerged noticeably in the early years of the 21st century. It signifies a hypothesis that culinary practice is an essential cultural component for diasporic figures to define their identities, especially in a multi-cultural society. These figures embrace such component to strategically define themselves and assert their belonging and affiliation to their original homelands. This paper, as such, examines the extent to which Arab-American characters in the novel, namely Sirine and Han, consider culinary practice as a key tool to understanding their identity, locate themselves in a multi-cultural society, and re-discover their true belonging. The study of this novel shows that culinary practices, as indicated in the narratives, deconstruct Arab-American identity through various dimensions, including memory, nostalgia, hybridity, and essentialism. In addition to employing critical and analytical approaches to the novel, this paper relies on a socio-cultural conceptual framework based on perspectives of prominent critics and theorists such as Homi Bhabha, Brinda Mehta, Dallen Timothy, and Stuart Hall, to name a few.
The Use of Discourse Markers in Academic Writing by In-Service Primary School Teachers of English
Authors: Kapranov Oleksandr 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This paper presents and discusses a computer-assisted study that seeks to investigate the use of discourse markers (“DMs”) in academic writing in English as a Foreign Language (“EFL”) by a group of in-service primary school teachers (“participants”). The aim of the study is to establish whether or not there would be differences in the use of DMs in the corpus of academic writing in EFL in literature and linguistics written by the participants, who concurrently with teaching EFL at a range of primary schools are enrolled in an in-service tertiary course in English. The corpus of the study consists of the participants’ i) reflective essays in English linguistics and children’s literature in English, respectively, and ii) analytic explanatory essays in English linguistics and children’s literature, respectively. The corpus of the participants’ essays was analysed quantitatively in order to identify the frequency of DMs per 1,000 words. The results of the quantitative data analysis indicated that the participants’ use of DMs seemed to be, primarily, determined by i) genre conventions of academic writing in English associated with reflective essays and analytic explanatory essays and ii) the participants’ individual preferences. These findings are further presented and discussed in the paper.
Football Clubs Drowned by Players
Authors: Perechuda Igor 
Published: November 2020

Abstract

Introduction. The insolvency in football was explained by the underperformance of a football club, either in terms of its ability to achieve playing results which depends on the quality of players on the staff, or in terms of its ability to generate a level of revenue consistent with performance in the league. Hence, two questions were addressed in the study: how deep will the European football crisis be after 2020 and are payrolls the most sensitive factor of football business performance?

Material and Methods. The study was based on the European football clubs data derived from the annual financial statement. A descriptive statistics analysis was performed in order to find out how significant salary indicators are in comparison to other football clubs’ performance measures. In order to establish the scale of changes in football finance in 2020, a basic stress test analysis was implemented.

Results. The study established that salary to revenue indicator is one of the most significant for football clubs’ performance. Thus, as the first step, the analysis of revenue reduction was elaborated and in the second step, the analysis of the reduction of salaries was performed. The presented stress test scenario implied that the situation of European football would change dramatically under the assumption of 50% reduction of the annual revenue.

Conclusions. The study established that the football clubs’situation is too serious not to be carefully managed due to cost and revenue performance.
Design and Experiment of Low-Pressure Gas Supply System for Dual Fuel Engine
Authors: Gu Xiaoyong , Jiang Guohe , Guo Zhenghua , Ding Shangzhi 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
A low-pressure gas supply system for dual fuel engines was designed to transport liquid natural gas from a storage tank to a dual fuel engine and gasify it during transportation. The heat exchange area and pressure drop in the spiral- wound heat exchanger, the volume of the buffer tank and the pressure drop in the pipeline of the gas supply system were calculated by programming using Python. Experiments were carried out during the process of starting and running the dual fuel engine using this gas supply system. Experimental data show that the gas supply system can supply gas stably during the process and ensure the stable operation of the dual fuel engine. The effects of the parameters of natural gas and ethylene glycol solution on the heat exchange area of the spiral-wound heat exchanger and the volume of the buffer tank in the gas supply system were studied. The results show that the heat exchange area calculated according to pure methane can adapt to the case of non-pure methane. The temperature difference between natural gas and ethylene glycol solution should be increased in order to reduce the heat exchange area. The heat exchange area selected according to the high pressure of natural gas can adapt to the low pressure of natural gas. The volume of the buffer tank should be selected according to the situation of the minimum methane content to adapt to the situation of high methane content. The main influencing factor in selecting the volume of the buffer tank is the natural gas flow. The results can provide guidance for the design of the gas supply system for dual fuel engines.
Design Analysis of Hybrid Gas Turbine‒Fuel Cell Power Plant in Stationary and Marine Applications
Authors: Kwaśniewski Tomasz , Piwowarski Marian 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The paper concerns the design analysis of a hybrid gas turbine power plant with a fuel cell (stack). The aim of this work was to find the most favourable variant of the medium capacity (approximately 10 MW) hybrid system. In the article, computational analysis of two variants of such a system was carried out. The analysis made it possible to calculate the capacity, efficiency of both variants and other parameters like the flue gas temperature. The paper shows that such hybrid cycles can theoretically achieve extremely high efficiency over 60%. The most favourable one was selected for further detailed thermodynamic and flow calculations. As part of this calculation, a multi-stage axial compressor, axial turbine, fuel cell (stack) and regenerative heat exchanger were designed. Then an analysis of the profitability of the installation was carried out, which showed that the current state of development of this technology and its cost make the project unprofitable. For several years, however, tendencies of decreasing prices of fuel cells have been observed, which allows the conclusion that hybrid systems will start to be created. This may apply to both stationary and marine applications. Hybrid solutions related to electrical power transmission, including fuel cells, are real and very promising for smaller car ferries and shorter ferry routes.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
In this study we reveal the measures taken by the Council of the European Union in the field of VAT to support SMEs and the reasons that led the Council of the European Union to take these decisions. It is also indicated the general definition of SMEs in European law as it has been taken up by various other authors, as well as the supportive behavior of SMEs that the European Commission has always had. On the other hand, we carried out a study that included variables defining SMEs in three fields of activity from four countries, located territorially in different areas of the European Union and we identified, using statistical correlation, different coefficients of correlation between the value added the number of SMEs, the number of people employed by SMEs, their turnover in that field of activity. The correlation coefficients that indicated a strong / moderate linearity link indicated that the measures taken by the European Union, through the Council and the European Commission, are welcome as the added value in many areas of activity shows a strong correlation with the number of taxable persons, the number employees of those taxable persons and their turnover.
Conceptualizing a Framework: A Critical Review of the Development of Change Management Theories
Authors: Ratana Som , Raksmey Chan , Danut Dumitrascu 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Although approaches to manage change dated back to as early as human history, managing effective change is still the topic of today’s debates. One of the undeniable facts about this is that change per se keeps changing, and so does its management methodology. While this fact comes, on the one hand, to validate the reason why none of the early theories stands relevant across time, it, on the other hand, proofs that change methodology is certainly fluid, giving no room for an approach to really last. An effective change is achievable [not] by a prescription, but by a thorough consolidation of the various aspects relevant to change. This paper aims therefore at identifying those [managerial] aspects of change, in hope that they could be used to construct a common base to deal with change. To that end, relevant change management hypotheses, approaches, theories dated back to the 50s are taken for thorough reviews. Results from this digest confirm that to manage change, one must factor in change type, change process, and change elements, and yet, to manage it effectively, one must go further to ensure that all the above factors work well together as they are all symbiotically related.
Determination of Self-Oscillations in Relay Control Systems
Authors: Zaatri Abdelouahab , Kelaiaia Ridha 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Some dynamical linear elements including on-off elements such as electro-mechanical relays and electronic components used in switching mode for some feedback control systems can present special features such as the capability to autonomously generate stable self-oscillations. This paper concerns the comparison of two approaches enabling to determine the frequency of self-oscillations in these systems. We examine Tsypkin’s approach which can provide analytical solutions to determining the frequency of existing self-oscillations. On the other hand, we examine the Describing Function (DF) approach which has been developed as an alternative to approximate these solutions.
We will compare these two approaches for nonlinear systems of first and second orders. We will examine particularly the possibilities and limits of each approach for calculating the self-oscillations. Simulation of these systems will be performed to visualizes their behaviors. An experimental feedback control system based on electronic circuits used in switching mode has been built as a setup enabling testing and envisioning some applications.

Authors: Dashtdar Majid , Dashtdar Masoud 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Electricity distribution systems are subject to a variety of faults such as permanent and transient short circuits due to the extent and multiplicity of equipment. In principle, short circuit fault causes the existing protective equipment to operate and to no electricity the various parts of the distribution network. Rapid and accurate determination of fault location, repair and recovery, it has not prevented the distribution of energy. This will satisfy consumers and prevent the losses of electricity companies. In this paper, the artificial neural network and fault current profiles are used to determine the distance of the fault, determine the type of fault and detect the short circuit. This method provides the information needed to locate the fault by sampling the current before and after the fault occurs from the SCADA system. The effect of connectivity local resistance changes and the effect of load changes on fault location were evaluated. The results show that this method is more accurate than the voltage droop profile variation method in determining the fault distance and short circuit breakdown. If only the net fault current changes profile is used, the effect of the load changes in determining the short-circuit breakdown is much less.

AbstraktAnaliza zmian w zagospodarowaniu przestrzennym, ocena postępów w opracowywaniu planów miejscowych i opracowanie wieloletnich programów ich sporządzania w nawiązaniu do ustaleń studium opracowywana w trybie art. 32 ustawy o planowaniu i zagospodarowaniu przestrzennym jest dokumentem, który w założeniu odgrywać ma ważną rolę w ocenie aktualności realizowanej polityki przestrzennej gminy oraz aktualności miejscowych planów zagospodarowania przestrzennego. Jej główna funkcja – ocena – polega na zbadaniu skali zmian w zagospodarowaniu przestrzennym i wynikającej z tego potrzeby dokonywania korekt obowiązujących aktów planowania przestrzennego. Analiza ta ma także zawierać ocenę postępów w opracowywaniu planów miejscowych i ustalać wieloletnie programy ich sporządzania. Artykuł jest przeglądem różnych metod tworzenia analiz zmian w zagospodarowaniu przestrzennym poprzez analizę zawartości przygotowywanych przez samorządy dokumentów. Badanie wykazało, że w zdecydowanej większości przypadków analizy te mają charakter ułomny, niewiele wnoszący do gospodarowania przestrzenią w gminie. Są one nierzadko atrapą dokumentu planistycznego, który ma za zadanie spełnić podstawowy ustawowy wymóg – być. Jednocześnie wskazać należy, że na drugim biegunie znajdują się mądre, przemyślane i wnikliwe opracowania, z których wynikają dla władz konkretne wnioski i powiązane z nimi zadania. W podsumowaniu artykułu zawarto także rekomendacje metodyczne dotyczące tworzenia analiz zmian w zagospodarowaniu przestrzennym. Ich źródłem są najlepsze zastosowane przez gminy rozwiązania oraz doświadczenia własne autora.
