Environmental and social responsibility reporting. Do Macedonian companies disclose those information and how?
Authors: Mrsik Jadranka , Kostovski Ninko 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Incorporating environmental impact into financial reports is becoming standard practice in the 21st Century. Investors are aware of the need for environmentally correct operations since failures in this domain lower the price of shares. However, in terms of regulation, in most of the countries, environmental reporting remains voluntary. Institutions dealing with development and promotion of the modern accounting and financial reporting standards encourage companies to concurrently report for their environmental activities. The only question is how. Accounting may include information on the environmental impact only if it is quantitative and monetary. Since many nuances of the issues remain difficult to quantify, corporations opt to separately report on their environmental practices. The aim of this paper is to examine the accounting and stock market regulations and the practice of reporting for environmental impact of the operations of the leading Macedonian companies. We selected ten companies that make the Macedonian Stock Exchange Index and additional five companies with significant environmental impact. We reviewed their annual reports and interviewed their financial officers. The results show that the environmental and social responsibility reporting is left to the companies and their management and its perception of the need for keeping posted the major stakeholders and the most appropriate way to do it. As a consequence, many large Macedonian companies do not refer to these issues in their annual addressing to the stakeholders. The findings of this paper can motivate the regulatory body and the government to require more transparency and disclosure of the sustainability information.

Performance Of The Visegrad Countries Compared To The EU-27 Countries, Based On The Sustainable Development Indicators Of The European Union
Authors: Bálint Csaba , Tóth Tamás 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The aim of our study is to compare Visegrad countries and the other EU member states regarding sustainable development, based on the system of Sustainable Development Indicators of the European Union. We provide a brief overview of almost two decades of elaborating the Sustainable Development Strategy of the Community, review the structure and the main elements of the strategic document, and – using the method of cluster analyses – we group the member states comparing them on the basis of specific headline indicators. Our goal was not a deep investigation, but a compact, thought-provoking analysis; this is the reason why we concentrated on the main indicators. As a result of the analysis, our hypothesis seems to be confirmed: the EU-15 countries and the rest of the member states belong to different clusters, which means that there are significant inequalities, especially from the economic and social aspects of sustainability.
Farm Structure And Efficiency In The Hungarian Agriculture
Authors: Tóth Orsolya , Takács István 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
It has long been the subject of empirical researches to examine the technical efficiency on farm (micro) level. Two main methods are most often used in the empirical literature: the non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) based on linear programming, and the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) introduced by Aigner, Lovell and Schmidt (1977). The present study aimed to investigate the technical efficiency of farms involved in agricultural activities in Hungary using the DEA-method and the data from the Hungarian FADN database. The technical efficiency was examined based on legal forms, farm size categories and the type of farming between 2001 and 2013.
Right-to-Food: Strengthening the Legal and Political Concepts Through Soft Governance
Authors: Blizkovsky Petr 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Addressing poverty issues in the developing world, and hunger issues in particular, is top of the global list of collective actions. However, in spite of the right-to-food commitments taken by global leaders and the international community, the problems are persisting. This article analyses the concept of “right-to-food” from legal and political points of view and looks at the shortcomings for its implementation. A governance analysis is provided together with recommendations for improvement. The experience of the European Union of economic coordination is utilised for improving intergovernmental cooperation for food security. The Food Security Implementation Procedure is considered as a soft method based on a voluntary participation with an objective to strengthen international coordination, national ownership and effective involvement of the non-public sector.

Published: May 2018

Abstract
This article starts with a broader view on the Hungarian agricultural holding system in order to find improvement possibilities in this segment. It is established on the supposition that a vertically created chain that could bring joint effort to create a group or network among the various actors in agribusiness which can lead to a more profitable operation, it can enhance sustainability and create technological development. The article also represents the energy farm concept where the different agricultural actors can work together in a sustainable system which can generate welfare to their production site and also to their settlement.

Strength-based faithfulness and the sibilant /s/ in Italian
Authors: Baroni Antonio 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Notwithstanding the primacy of the CV syllable, a number of languages allow for more complex types of syllables. In particular, word-initial consonant clusters are particularly challenging for any phonological theory. In this paper it is argued that obstruent clusters may be the result of casual speech processes where the most salient/ frequent phonemes and features occurring in most pronunciation variants of a word are preserved. As a result, sibilants, being acoustically salient, tend to occur more often than other obstruents as the first member of word-initial obstruent clusters. A framework couched in Optimality Theory is presented, where a subfamily of faithfulness constraints refer to strength values stored in the underlying representation. The more salient and/or frequent a phoneme/feature is, the higher the strength value assigned to it. Finally, a number of languages are compared, arguing that their phonotactic differences may be due to the different ranking of markedness constraints and MAX-STRENGTHVALUE constraints.
Comparing rhythm in speech and music: The case of English and Polish
Authors: Jekiel Mateusz 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
The point of departure for the following study is Patel and Daniele (2003), who suggested that the rhythm of a culture’s language is reflected in its instrumental music. The former study used the normalised pairwise variability index (henceforth nPVI), a measure of temporal patterning in speech, to compare the variability of vocalic duration in recorded speech samples with the variability of note duration in music notation on the example of English and French speech and classical music. The aim of this experiment is to test whether the linguistic rhythm conventionalised in the language of a community affects the rhythm in the musical practice of that community, by focusing on English and Polish speech and classical, as well as folk music. The nPVI values were obtained from a set of English and Polish recorded news-like sentences, and from musical notation of English and Polish classical and folk musical themes. The results suggest that reflections of Polish speech rhythm may be more apparent in folk music than in classical music, though more data are needed to test this idea. This initial study suggests that the method used might bring more fruitful results when comparing speech rhythm with less formalized and more traditional musical themes.
An application of graph theory to linguistic complexity
Authors: Piperski Alexander 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
This article introduces a new measure of linguistic complexity which is based on the dual nature of the linguistic sign. Complexity is analyzed as consisting of three components, namely the conceptual complexity (complexity of the signified), the formal complexity (complexity of the signifier) and the form-meaning correspondence complexity. I describe a way of plotting the form-meaning relationship on a graph with two tiers (the form tier and the meaning tier) and apply a complexity measure from graph theory (average vertex degree) to assess the complexity of such graphs. The proposed method is illustrated by estimating the complexity of full noun phrases (determiner + adjective + noun) in English, Swedish, and German. I also mention the limitations and the problems which might arise when using this method.

Published: May 2018

Objective
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity in humans is stimulated by cold and by a limited number of pharmacological agents, including β3-adrenergic agonists and bile acids. Although thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) is known to activate BAT in several mammals, this has not been reported in humans.

Design
A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over trial.

Methods
We investigated the effects of intravenous bolus administration of 400 µg TRH or 2 mL saline on BAT activity in healthy, lean men. BAT activity was measured as standardized 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake and glucose metabolic rate (MRglu) using dynamic PET/CT imaging. The first six individuals were studied at room temperature, while subsequently nine were exposed to mild cold (17°C ± 1°C) for 60 min before imaging. During the dynamic scan, blood was withdrawn for measurement of thyroid hormone and catecholamine concentrations. This trial is registered with The Netherlands National Trial Register (number NTR5512).

Results
Sixteen participants were recruited. Six men studied at room temperature showed no visible BAT activity during either session. After exposure to mild cold, four of nine men (44.4%) showed clear increase of 18F-FDG uptake after TRH administration compared to placebo. Maximal standardized 18F-FDG uptake showed a trend toward increase after TRH compared to placebo (P = 0.066). MRglu showed a significant increase after TRH administration (P = 0.014). The increase in 18F-FDG uptake was not paralleled by changes in plasma thyroid hormone or catecholamine concentrations.

Conclusion
Systemic TRH administration can increase the activity of cold-stimulated BAT in adult men. These findings may assist developing pharmacological strategies for modulating BAT activity in the management of obesity.

A Lei 13.415/2017 (Reforma do Ensino Médio) e os retrocessos contidos na previsão legal de professores com “notório saber”
Authors: Santos Pablo Silva Machado Bispo dos 
Published: May 2018

A política educacional brasileira está longe de poder ser entendida mediante uma visão linear devido a seus fluxos e refluxos. Um exemplo disso está na promulgação de uma Reforma do Ensino Médio (originária da MP 746/2016, e, posteriormente convertida na Lei 13.1415/2017) que faz com que alguns aspectos deste nível de ensino retome uma forma e um conteúdo presente em contextos educacionais de várias décadas atrás. O presente artigo se propõe a analisar a legislação pertinente com foco na comparação entre tal legislação e outras reformas educacionais anteriores, no sentido de demonstrar que a despeito da propaganda governamental que apresenta a Reforma como algo inovador, estaríamos em verdade voltando ao passado, especialmente no que tange ao resgate da noção de “notório saber'.Palavras-chave: Política Educacional.

Education is "upstream" in the development of quality human beings, both provincial scale such as in South Kalimantan and national scale that is Indonesia. Education has a "Downstream" many branches with positive benefits for men and women. For that purpose the formulation of this paper is how the role of formal education in releasing women from child marriage traps in South Kalimantan in 2012. Data Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (SDKI) Year 2012 became a secondary data source in this study, using the method of analysis secondary data. In accordance with the purpose of this study, this study uses the question module of married women aged 15-49 years in the Province of South Kalimantan 2012. The analysis is done by simple statistics in the form of cross-tabs displayed in the form of tables and bar charts. In order for the discussion to be more comprehensive, analysis is also conducted to find out the independent variable is the level of formal education of women who most contribute in releasing women from the trap of child marriage. The statistic test used is linear logistic regression with the first dummy mating age variable that is the first marriage age under 18 years and above 18 years, using SPSS software aid. Based on the results of the research is known that from the three levels of formal education, formal education at the level of primary education has the greatest contribution seen from the coefficient of determination that women who do not complete the level of primary education or equivalent to junior high education / equal 23.6 percent lead to marriage of children. This means that the higher level of formal education that can be achieved by women in South Kalimantan Province in 2012, the more women are able to escape from the marriage of children.

Published: May 2018

Selection of the right learning model will increase the chances of achieving student learning success. The choice of learning model should pay attention to students' ability which is generally not the same among students one to another. The main factors are the various intelligence and student backgrounds. In addition, the absorptive capacity of the subject matter between students with one student is not the same so that affect learning outcomes achieved. Therefore, teachers need alternative learning model to overcome the diversity of student characteristics, one of them is with individual learning. However, the large number of students in the classroom and the various shortcomings in individual learning such as the effectiveness of learning, time, effort, and curriculum demands, as well as other obstacles, then individual learning is very unlikely to be implemented. An alternative that teachers can do is through the use of learning models that lead to programmed individual learning. The model of learning in accordance with the problem is Model Team Assisted Individualization (TAI). The TAI model is designed as a learning model that combines individual learning with cooperative learning. With the TAI model, the weaknesses that exist in individual learning and on cooperative learning can be minimized with the advantages that exist in both. This study aims to determine the effect of the use of TAI Model on the results of IPS geography learning. This research includes quasi experiment type, using Pretest-posttest Control Group Design design. The subjects consisted of one experimental class and one control class, grade VII student SMPN 4 Lumajang. The research instrument is a test consisting of prates and pascates. The data analysis technique uses t-test with SPSS 16.00 for Windows. The result of data analysis shows that the learning result of IPS geography of students using TAI model is better than students who do not use TAI Model. Thus it can be argued that the use of TAI model influences the learning outcomes Geography IPS Geography students proposed for teachers in the field of study Geography is to make the Model TAI as an alternative model of learning to improve student learning outcomes. Suggestions for further research are piloting the TAI Model on different materials and levels of higher classes or schools, as well as combining with more varied learning media so as to show a great influence on student learning outcomes and gain greater benefits from the TAI Model.
