IT systems in accounting – the evidence from Polish companies
Authors: Rybicka Karolina 
Published: February 2021

The use of IT systems in modern accounting has become a necessity for all companies. The basic function of modern business organisations is the efficient management of information and knowledge. During decision-making processes, managers require reliable and accurate information. Managers, for both tactical and operational goals, must have data from functional areas, like accounting, production, marketing or procurement. A properly functioning information system in an enterprise ensures the flow of information between all systems and subsystems, and between an enterprise and its surroundings. The aim of this paper is to present IT systems used in the area of accounting in Polish companies. The purpose of this paper is to determine the motives of choice – which software is the best for using in the accounting subsystem of given enterprises. The used methods in this paper are a questionnaire, comparisons and explanation. Some theoretical approaches are examined by analysis of the survey. The results rely on the questionnaire among the chosen Polish companies. This study was undertaken because of the continuous changes in information technology, accounting rules and the changed approaches to accounting (or bookkeeping). This study can be helpful for managers and accountants to possess better accounting information and to make better economic decisions. The accounts supporting software used by the surveyed companies in the paper were compared and analysed. The analysis of the questionnaire allowed finding out motives of choice of a particular solution. It showed how entrepreneurs get information about the accounting software and what type of software they have implemented in companies. In addition, respondents pointed out the pros and cons of the IT systems they implemented. Finally, the survey has shown that users of various accounting software or accounting applications cannot imagine their work without them, and all IT tools bring them benefits.

Authors: Hanafi Mochamad 
Published: February 2021

A website is needed by the government as one of the e-government’s media on public service. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the website provided by the special region of Yogyakarta’s provincial government as e-government media on public services. This research used descriptive qualitative design through the analysis results of interviews, observations and documentation. The findings showed that the Provincial Government had determined the audience. The content has tried to serve some needs. The two-way interaction fits the needs of the audience but not fast response. A website is easy to use but there are weaknesses, such as upgrade efforts, creative ideas and innovations. From their aspects, the website of the Provincial Government of Yogyakarta, Indonesia has not been fully effective as an e-government media on public services. For improvement, the special region of Yogyakarta’s provincial government should always continue making innovation to its website following the audience’s needs with the aim to make it more interesting and valuable.

Keywords: Effectiveness, website, e-government.

A demanda por energia elétrica e seus sistemas de produção e distribuição são relevantes para a sociedade, pois está associada ao desenvolvimento das nações. Atualmente muitas empresas do ramo estão surgindo em nosso país, particularmente na região Nordeste, devido às condições ambientais para geração de energia eólica. Assim, como toda ação antrópica, a utilização dos ventos para geração de energia elétrica apresenta impactos positivos e negativos. Nesse sentido, a proposta dessa pesquisa foi realizar uma análise integrada dos aspectos e impactos ambientais na operação do Parque Eólico Complexo Alto Sertão no distrito de Morrinhos - Guanambi\Bahia. A proposta de estudo foi delineada por meio de dois métodos de avaliação de impacto ambiental: rede de interação e matriz de ponderação. Dentre os impactos positivos destacados pode ser citada a melhoria das condições de vida dos proprietários de terra os quais são contratados por arrendamento do uso da área. Outro impacto positivo significativo foi à geração de empregos na instalação e operação do empreendimento, pois sugiram oportunidades de serviços local e regional. Destaca se também como impacto positivo significativo o aumento de recursos econômicos para os municípios da região dado o aumento na arrecadação de impostos e tributos. Assim, a sociedade local entende que produção de energia eólica auxilia desenvolvimento socioeconômico. A produção de energia eólica, mesmo sendo uma fonte renovável, como toda atividade humana promove também impactos negativos. Os impactos negativos mais significativos percebidos pela comunidade foram: emissão de ruídos oriundo das torres em funcionamento; a ruptura da paisagem local devido à instalação do conjunto de aerogeradores que modificam a paisagem natural do ambiente.

Background And Objectives: Studies on male involvement and pregnancy outcomes have often not incorporated the providers’ perspectives, which are potentially critical to understanding program context, evolution, perceived impact, and sustainability. We sought to evaluate the 24/7 Dad® program from the viewpoint of the program providers.
Methods: We conducted purposive sampling of 24/7 Dad program facilitators and administrators who were involved in recruitment, training, and follow up of program participants within a federal Healthy Start program (REACHUP) in Tampa, Florida, USA. Using a snowballing approach, we recruited six key informants who had administered the program for at least four years. We elicited and evaluated factors impacting the performance of the father involvement program using content analysis.
Results: Under program participation and perceived impact, most providers thought that the program had created a safe space previously unavailable for men in the community. The most useful recruitment strategy was building partnerships with other organizations. The key informants noted an important evolutionary trend in the father involvement program over time as well as the nature of linkages to partner organizations within the area. Threats to program sustainability included the continued reluctance and scepticism to invest funds to address male issues, sub-optimal retention of participants who were living transient lives as well as geo graph ical/transportation barriers.
Conclusion and Global Health Implications: The involvement of fathers during pregnancy has significant implications for healthy babies. Our study results provide a clarion call to augment capacity and infuse more resources to improve paternal involvement in order to attain the United Nations Sustainable Goal (2015-2030) of ensuring healthy lives and the promotion of well-being for all at all ages.

Published: February 2021

Este estudo avaliou o desempenho zootécnico, custo por quilograma e índices corporais em tilápias-do-nilo (Oreochromis niloticus), submetidas a diferentes manejos alimentares (horários e quantidades de alimento fornecido). O experimento foi realizado no Laboratório de Aquicultura do Instituto Federal Catarinense-Campus Araquari, com duração de 40 dias. Foram utilizados 360 alevinos, com peso médio inicial de 23,38±0,24 g, distribuídos em 18 tanques-rede experimentais de 1,0 m³ de capacidade volumétrica, instalados num viveiro de 300 m² com aerador. Oxigênio dissolvido e temperatura da água foram monitorados diariamente. Amônia, nitrito, pH, turbidez, alcalinidade e dureza, assim como a realização de biometrias para acompanhar o crescimento dos animais e ajuste da quantidade de ração foram realizadas semanalmente. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de Levene para verificar homocedasticidade.Posteriormente, submetidos à análise bifatorial (2x3). Todas as análises foram realizadas com nível de significância de 5%. Após 40 dias, os peixes permaneceram 24 h de jejum e todos foram pesados e medidos para avaliar peso final, ganho de peso diário, eficiência alimentar, sobrevivência e produtividade, que foram em média de 127,25 ± 4,46 g, 2,60 ± 011 g.dia-1, 1,05 ± 0,03, 99,72 ± 0,48 % e 2537,93 ± 99,73 g.m-³, respectivamente. Além disso, quatro peixes por unidade experimental foram anestesiados, até cessar os movimentos operculares para posterior eutanásia e avaliação do índice gordura visceral de 1,96 ± 0,19% e coleta de amostras para análise da retenção e excreção de nitrogênio, nos valores de 24,15 ± 2,90% e 24,66 ± 2,17 kg.ton de peixe-1, respectivamente. Não houve diferença significativa entre os tratamentos para nenhum dos fatores analisados. Conclui-se que nas condições experimentais avaliadas o horário e as diferentes distribuições da quantidade de alimento por alimentação não interferem os índices produtivos, corporais, assim como a capacidade de reter nitrogênio de juvenis de tilápia submetidos aos mesmos parâmetros de qualidade de água.
An Analysis of Numerically Induced Pulses in Simulations of Low-Salinity Waterflooding and Their Reduction by Flow Upscaling
Authors: Al-Ibadi Hasan , Stephen Karl D. , Mackay Eric 
Published: February 2021

SummaryNumerical fidelity is required when using simulations to predict enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) processes. In this paper, we investigate the conditions that lead to numerical errors when simulating low-salinity (LS) waterflooding (LSWF). We also examine how to achieve more accurate simulation results by scaling up the flow behavior in an effective manner.An implicit finite-difference numerical solver was used to simulate LSWF. The accuracy of the numerical solution has been examined as a function of changing the length of the grid cell and the timestep. Previously we have shown that numerical dispersion induces a physical retardation such that the LS front slows down while the formation water front speeds up. We also report for the first time that pulses can be generated as numerical artifacts in coarsely gridded simulations of LSWF. These effects reflect the interaction of dispersion, the effective-salinity range, and the use of upstream weighting during calculation, and can corrupt predictions of flow behavior.The effect of the size of the timestep was analyzed with respect to the Courant condition, traditionally related to explicit numerical schemes and also numerical stability conditions. We also investigated some of the nonlinear elements of the simulation model, such as the differences between the concentrations of connate water salinity and the injected brine, effective-salinity-concentration range, and the net mobility change on fluids through changing the salinity. We report that to avoid pulses it is necessary, but not sufficient, to meet the Courant condition relating timestep size to cell size. We have also developed two approaches that can be used to scale up simulations of LSWF and tackle the numerical problems. The first method is dependent on a mathematical relationship between the fractional flow, effective-salinity range, and the Péclet number and treats the effective-salinity range as a pseudofunction. The second method establishes an unconventional proxy method equivalent to pseudorelative permeabilities. A single table of pseudorelative permeability data can be used for a waterflood instead of two tables, as is usual for LSWF. This is a novel approach that removes the need for relative permeability interpolation during the simulation.Overall, by avoiding numerical errors, we help engineers to more efficiently and accurately assess the potential for improving oil recovery using LSWF and thus optimize field development. We also avoid the numerical pulses inherent in the traditional LSWF model.
Comparison and Optimization of energy efficiency between Hydropower and thermal power in China

Published: February 2021

Abstract
Background: As the two main forces of China’s power electricity, the energy generation efficiencies of thermal power and hydropower are important factors affecting the energy conservation, emissions reduction, and green development of the country’s whole power industry.Methods: Considering regional differences and multiple effective decision-making units, this research uses the Meta-SE-SBM undesirable model to comprehensively evaluate the efficiencies of hydropower and thermal power generation in China, taking CO2 emissions of thermal power generation as the undesirable output.Results: The average group efficiency of thermal power generation in the central region has greatly improved, the eastern and western regions also show an upward trend, but there is a slight downward trend for hydropower in the three regions. The hydropower technological gaps in the three regions have slightly expanded, but their thermal power technology gaps have gradually narrowed. From the perspective of input-output non-efficiency level, the undesirable output CO2 of thermal power energy efficiency in the eastern, central, and western regions is in a surplus, the redundancy of equipment utilization hours, energy input, and installed capacity in the western region are all high, but generation in the western region is insufficient, leading to relatively low efficiency of thermal power generation there. In the eastern region the redundancy of equipment utilization hours, number of employees, and installed capacity are all high, but the generation of hydropower in the eastern and central regions is insufficient, leading to relatively low hydropower efficiency in these two regions.Conclusions: When formulating policies to promote China’s power efficiency improvement and green development, the government and power industry managers should fully consider regional differences in the efficiencies of hydropower and thermal power. The thermal power industry is relatively mature, but its CO2 emissions should be reduced and the scale of thermal power cannot be blindly expanded. The hydropower industry needs further policy support to increase market share and to enhance the local power industry’s competitiveness under the condition of its resource endowments.

Abstract
Background: Neck circumference, a proxy for upper-body subcutaneous fat, is a unique and pathogenic fat depot that confers additional metabolic risk. The purpose of present study was to determine whether neck circumference associates with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in postmenopausal women with normal body mass index.Methods: A cross-sectional survey (n=2,492) and a 3.1-year follow-up investigation (n=1,354) were conducted among Chinese postmenopausal women with normal BMI (18.5 to <25 kg/m2). Neck circumference was measured horizontally at the lower margin of the laryngeal prominence.Results: In the cross-sectional analysis, large neck circumference was associated with the presence of NAFLD (odds ratio 2.28; 95% CI 1.74-2.98; highest tertile versus lowest tertile) after adjustment for confounding factors. Among 1,354 subjects without the NAFLD at baseline, 429 (31.7 %) incident NAFLD cases occurred at 3.1 years. Neck circumference was positively associated with triglycerides, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, C-reactive protein, and negatively associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and adiponectin. Individuals with large baseline neck circumference had a significantly higher risk of NAFLD than those with small neck circumference. The multivariable adjusted hazard ratio was 1.42 (95% CI 1.15-1.97; p for trend =0.004) for the highest versus the lowest tertile of neck circumference, and was 1.22 (95% CI 1.10-1.41; p =0.006) per 1-standard deviation increment in neck circumference.Conclusions: Among postmenopausal women with normal BMI, relatively large neck circumference levels are associated with an increased risk of NAFLD.
