Advanced System of SME Financing in Market Economy
Authors: Różański Jerzy 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Increasing competitiveness of small and medium enterprises, especially in the situation of growing economic globalization in the member countries of European Union and internationalization of activity of such enterprises, requires overcoming numerous obstacles the enterprises have to face. One of the most substantial of them is deficiency of means for the enterprises’ growth, particularly the means earmarked for innovative activity. This is mainly the consequence of lack of knowledge about how the enterprises could gain financial means from the alternative financing sources. This hinders establishing the optimal configuration of financing for an enterprise. Consequently, the purpose of the paper to improve enterprises’ access to external capital so as to be able to carry out the investments oriented towards strengthening of the enterprises and launching innovative products and services. The main result of research (sample of Polish SME) is preparing of advanced system of financing including alternative forms of financing of SME on each stages of their life cycle, connected with multicriteria forms of their assessment.

Authors: Petković Saša , Sorak Snežana 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) has a relatively low level of entrepreneurial activity as evidenced by GEM reports but also has an economic structure in which SMEs account for about 99% of the total number of enterprises. The goal of this paper was to examine the level of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and influence of EO on business performances of SMEs in the Republic of Srpska (RS), one of the two BiH entities, in which the empirical research was done. We have used adapted Covin & Slevin (1989) version of the questionnaire. We found out that only 12.28% of sampled SMEs have all three dimensions of EO pronounced. The least pronounced dimension is risk-taking and the most pronounced dimension is proactiveness. Our research did not confirm the impact of EO on selected indicators of business performances.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
This paper analyses the influential factors which determine the differences between social and economic dimensions in the European Union. The main objective was to construct a composite indicator of the quality of government and citizens’ well-being, and rank the EU countries based on it. The dataset refers to variables specific to economic and social wellness (latest year available is 2015), focusing on both, the objective and subjective dimension of the governance and well-being. The results obtained indicate that the countries with the highest performance in terms of the quality of government and citizens’ well-being are Denmark, Sweden, Finland, followed by Austria and the Netherlands. Differences to the rest of the EU member states are based on economic and social policies, as these countries have the highest employment rates and social protection expenditures, focusing on the risks related to unemployment, social exclusion, invalidity or aging to increase citizens’ overall life satisfaction.

Published: April 2019

Abstract
Recent research demonstrates that entrepreneurs who learn contribute to lower failure rates of their startups. Nowhere is this more evident than in the area of financial management, where the entrepreneurs’ lack of skills and competencies – and their willingness to acquire them - can be a critical factor to the success of the business venture. The purpose of this paper is to examine the financial management practices among Croatian entrepreneurs in relation to budgeting, raising capital, cash flow management, and the use of ICT tools for enhanced efficiency of their businesses. The survey was conducted on a sample of 58 entrepreneurs whose answers provide valuable insight into their grasp of financial concepts in the context of smart ICT use. The ensuing analysis of the level of proficiency in combining smart tools with financial management reveals increased adoption of ICT practices for budgeting and purchasing among Croatian entrepreneurs. Additionally, the findings indicate that the entrepreneurs’ acquisition of skills and competencies for smart financial management presents a sound basis for increased overall financial sustainability of the startups.
Time Spent in St. Catharines
Authors: Michel David 
Published: April 2019

Three small oil paintings on paper, approximately 20 by 13” in size, were created while experimenting with new media and techniques. All three pieces are representations of human figures, which is a study that I often turn to. The intent was to create works which portray different human characteristics.
One painting is a portrait of a person I look up to the most, which is my grandfather. My intention was to capture him being consumed by his genius mind. In order to do so, I created the impression of a blurred image.
The next piece contains different aspects I've encountered consistently throughout my time spent in St. Catharines. When creating the piece, I used these few aspects, which are street art, snow and isolation, combined with a homeless man I encountered.
My last piece is converting deeper into abstraction, while experimenting with different ways of representing reality.
Manifestos in a Room / Manifestes dans une pièce
Authors: Artists and Authors Multiple 
Published: April 2019

In Fall 2018, artist Heather Hart installs a rooftop in the largest room of the Rodman Hall Art Centre for her exhibition Northern Oracle. She asks the question: “What do you want to say? Shout it from the rooftop!”
Throughout history, thinkers, authors and artists have eloquently expressed their views on cultural and social phenomena in manifestoes. The function of a manifesto is to convince a public and encourage creative thinking.
Reflecting on Heather Hart’s exhibition, students in Visual Arts, Studies in Arts and Culture, and French Studies at Brock University transform the Studio Gallery into a “manifesto room” in which they create their own statements, be they poetic, absurd or political, in English or in French. In a space that is both radical and respectful, visitors are invited to experience the pleasurable effects of surprise.
A l’automne 2018, l’artiste Heather Hart installe le toit d’une maison dans la plus grande salle du Centre d’art de Rodman Hall pour son exposition Northern Oracle. Elle pose ainsi la question suivante : « Que veux-tu dire ? Crie-le sur le toit ! »
Au cours du temps, penseurs, auteurs et artistes ont éloquemment exprimé dans des manifestes leurs vues sur des phénomènes culturels et sociaux. Un manifeste a pour fonction de convaincre un public et d’encourager une pensée créative.
En réponse à l’artiste, des étudiant.e.s d’Arts visuels, Etudes en arts et cultures et Etudes en français transforment la galerie Studio en « pièce manifeste » dans laquelle elles/ils créent leurs propres déclarations, que celles-ci soient poétiques, absurdes ou politiques, en anglais ou en français. Dans un espace à la fois radical et respectueux, les visiteuses et visiteurs sont invité.e.s à faire l’expérience d’agréables effets de surprise.

Circular cylinders with cross-flow are a component of many technical devices in power engineering, heat engineering and chemical technology.
For the intensification of external heat exchange, various types of ribs are widely used, the use of which is associated with a large metal capacity of the equipment. Application of holes on the heat exchange surface can significantly improve the thermohydraulic and mass-grossing characteristics of heat and mass equipment. A simple and effective way of intensifying heat transfer is the spiral groove on the outer surface of the pipe.
The purpose of this work is to develop a method for determining the average coefficient of heat transfer by the method of melting ice, taking into account the moisture that falls on the surface of the cylinder-calorimeter. The research was carried out in the range of the Reynolds number change, calculated from the outside diameter of the pipe, from 2000 to 17000.
In this paper, the method of determining the average coefficient of heat transfer by the method of melting of ice at the cross-flow of a round cylinder is specified. It is shown that ignoring the air humidity flowing through the cylinder-calorimeter can lead to a large error in determining the average coefficient of heat transfer, especially when air humidity is more than 53%.

Starting the year 1996, energy strategies of Ukraine, one by one, before the completion of the next. In view of the implementation of forecasting indications of leather strategies, it is impossible. At the same time, the obtained reference values did not coincide with the projected.
Where to find the reasons for such "results of implementation" strategies? In the methods and tools of forecasting, management of ways and mechanisms for implementation, socio-economic and geopolitical turbulence, in the global financial and economic crisis? Or, in principle, the impossibility of knowing the future (at a sufficiently remote time interval)?
An overview of conceptual approaches to forecasting the future is given and the impossibility to predict the future is emphasized. The risk of unpredictability of its development and such a complex sector of the economy as energy.
With geopolitical turbulence, with a radical change in the socio-economic system in the country, accompanied by a downturn in the economy, including production in the fuel and energy sector, at any time stage in the implementation of the energy strategy, bifurcation points may appear in the vicinity of which small fluctuations of external influence will sharply increase and indicators forecast in strictly time intervals may become slightly realized, and scenarios for the development of the fuel and energy complex may change. For some indicators, there may be a good match, for others - acceptable, and for a number of indicators - a significant discrepancy with forecasts. The main task is to determine the range of values of key indicators and trends in the development of energy and its individual industries. It was emphasized that the problem of the quality of energy forecasting is not sufficiently developed, since there are no established criteria by which one can objectively evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of a given forecasting system. There are well-established criteria by which one can objectively evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of a particular forecasting system. Despite the lack of objective criteria for assessing the quality of predictive tools, at present systemic forecasting of energy as an integral part of the triad: energy-economy-ecology is generally accepted and is used in leading energy countries. Propositions regarding the need for the super water pipeline in Ukraine in 2017 are involved in the strategy of operational documents - operational plan-forecasts (road maps) for managing and monitoring the implementation of the strategy for promotional projects in 2014, in the disciplines, in the disciplines.

Authors: Wiryanta I Kadek Ervan Hadi 
Published: April 2019

In this study, a redesign to a clove dryer simulation tool using exhaust heat from radiator as a source of heat energy has been done. The dryer simulation tool consists of reservoir tank, a heater, a pump to circulate the water in the system, a radiator as a heat exchanger and a drying chamber with 2 shelves. The redesign stage is carried out by fixing the piping insulation system, changing the pipe and adding valve controls to vary the velocity of the fluid flow. Variations made are variations in the mass flow rate of 0.09 kg / s and 0.18 kg /s with a constant air flow rate of 1 m/s. The results of the analysis show that at a higher mass flow rate of 0.18 kg/s the average rate of heat transfer from the radiator air side is higher, which is around 3971.65 watts. The effectiveness of the radiator will also be higher at a higher mass flow rate, the average is 0.34 at a mass flow rate of 0.09 kg/s and 0.43 at a mass flow rate of 0.18 kg /s. For drying rates with a load of 2 kg of cloves with a higher flow rate of liquid will be faster, which is about 5 hours with a flow rate of 0.18 kg/s and 6.5 hours at a flow rate of 0.09 kg/s

One of the most common and difficult problems to solve in distribution power systems is the location and elimination of the ground fault. For the study of an electrical distribution network in ungrounded system operating at 20 kV on the primary and 380 V on the secondary. The model uses smaller nominal voltages consisting of 380 V on the primary and the secondary. The Ground fault protection system scheme uses over voltage relays and open break delta transformers, whereas for fault location detection using voltage transformers in star star connections.The highest single line to ground fault value is used for consideration of ballast rating selection. The single line to lowest ground fault value is used for setting the threshold on the voltage relay (59N). Referring to the result of the calculation of the highest single phase to ground voltage at point 1 is 144∠1800 volts, and the lowest point at 4 is 132∠1800 volts. A 200 ohm ballast impedance with 150 watts of power capacity, and an overvoltage threshold setting of 120 volts with TDS of 40. One phase fault protection mechanism works well at each point of interference, and voltage transformers are protected from overheating and damage.
