Analysis of Theories of Educational Jurisprudence and International Law Regarding the Cloned Child

Proponents of educational jurisprudence in Iran believe that the principles of jurisprudence can be used in various fields of educational sciences, including the process of childbirth. One of the new scientific phenomena and development is the birth of a simulated child and the explanation of behavioral and educational dimensions and challenges of this method of birth. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the perspectives of educational jurists and international law regarding the simulated child. The research method is a comparative qualitative using systematic review approach. The research population included all studies that were published in the period 2000-2020. Boolean strategy was used to select the research sample and systematic review method - Kitchenham & Charters approach - was used for data analysis. The first research finding reveals that there is a difference between the opinions of the two groups in eight components and similarities in five dimensions. The unpredictable consequences of human simulation, threat to the family system, attention to the rights of the simulated child, and the preference of therapeutic simulation over productive simulation form the common denominator of educational jurists with the laws of international organizations. Dimensions such as the ideological basis of human status, the origin of the right to human health, the ideological basis of human consent to participate in the simulation process or the religion of the simulated person are mainly indicative of theoretical differences between the two groups. The research findings also indicated that educational jurists in Iran are more controversial than the international community on issues such as attention to the role of parents, relationship with Mahrams or Non-mahrams, and the rights of the child simulated in terms of custody, inheritance and blood money. It seems that educational systems same as religious and legal systems, must inevitably prepare themselves for the reception of simulated children in educational settings.
THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT INTER-REPETITION REST PERIODS ON THE SUSTAINABILITY OF BENCH AND LEG PRESS REPETITION VPLIV TRAJANJA ODMORA MED PONOVITVAMI PRI POTISKU UTEŽI IZPRED PRSI IN DVIGOVANU IZ POLČEPA

There is a lack of studies using inter-repetition rest periods in the upper and lower muscle groups on the sustainability of repetition. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of three different interrepetition rest periods on the sustainability of bench and leg press repetition over four consecutive sets that were performed with 75% of one repetition maximum. Twenty resistance-trained college-age men participated in four testing sessions which involved the determination of one repetition maximum (first session) and the performance of four sets of bench presses and leg presses to exhaustion at 75% of 1RM load with inter-repetition rest periods of 0, 2 and 4 seconds (during the next three testing sessions). A zero-second inter-repetition rest period resulted in significantly greater sustainability of bench press and leg press repetitions compared to 2 and 4 second inter-repetition rest periods (BP: 9.27±2.15, 7.78±1.27, 7.78±1.3, LP: 9.87±1.49, 8.77±1.02, 8.96±1.46, respectively, p<0.05). The results demonstrate that increasing inter-repetition rest periods in resistance training reduces the sustainability of repetition.
Rigorous 2D Model for Study of Pulsed and Monochromatic Waves Propagation Near the Earth's Surface

A model problem considered in the paper allows solving rather complex 2D problems of the electromagnetic wave propagation with a required accuracy using conventional personal computers. The problems are of great importance for the theory and practical applications. The association of FDTD schemes with exact absorbing conditions makes up the basis for constructing models of the kind. This approach reduces the original open initial boundary value problems to the equivalent closed problems which can be solved numerically using the standard grid methods.
A novel WAMS-based distance protection scheme for parallel transmission lines

In this paper, a novel wide area measurement system (WAMS) based distance protection scheme for parallel transmission lines is proposed. This protection scheme sufficiently utilizes the information in WAMS to set up an accurate system model in remote terminal. Then the proposed scheme uncouples the model into a six-sequence mathematical model to eliminate the influence of the zero-sequence mutual inductance. Along with the uncoupled model, a linear equation in frequency domain, without any theoretical error, is given and the fault distance and fault resistance can be obtained by solving the equation with fundamental frequency component and aperiodic component. To verify the proposed algorithm, many simulations based on PSCAD are performed in this paper. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme eliminates the influence of the zero-sequence mutual inductance. It can calculate the fault distance accurately and have high tolerance to fault resistance.
Factors influencing relative humidity in concrete

The effects of water/cement ratio, cement type, curing and exposure condition on time-dependent relative humidity profiles in drying concrete are examined. The water/cement ratio of the concrete and the period of initial moist curing were found to have little effect on the measured relative humidities for laboratory exposure, but the latter dropped more rapidly in concretes made with pulverized fuel ash or ground granulated blastfurnace slag than in those made with ordinary Portland cement. The relative humidities in the concretes subjected to laboratory exposure were represented concisely by a set of simple equations. High relative humidities were measured in concretes exposed outdoors, although these were less high when the exposed surface was sheltered from rain. The effects of moisture on several aspects of concrete performance are briefly reviewed, and the benefits of relative humidity measurements are indicated.
Shape-dependent dose margin correction using model-based mask data preparation

Dose Margin has always been known to be a critical factor in mask making. This paper describes why the issue is far more critical than ever before with the 20-nm logic node and beyond using ArF Immersion lithography. Model-Based Mask Data Preparation (MB-MDP) had been presented [references] to show shot count improvements for these complex masks. This paper describes that MBMDP also improves the dose margin. The improvement predicted with theoretical simulation with D2S is confirmed by the results of real mask written by JBX-3200MV (JEOL) by HOYA.
Sol-Gel Synthesis of Organically Modified Silica Particles as Efficient Palladium Catalyst Supports to Perform Hydrogenation Process

Modern approaches to the production of new materials require the improvement of synthesis techniques towards simplifying the processes of their preparation and reducing the number of stages. Thus, in this study, one-stage synthesis of organomodified silica materials is developed using a special surfactant—dodecyldimethylamin N-oxide (DDAO). The peculiarity of this approach is that there is no need for heat treatment of the material, since DDAO is removed by washing in alcohol. Amino-, mercapto-, methyl-, and phenyl-modified silicas were synthesized using this method. The SEM images showed the morphology of all the obtained materials is close, all particles are spherical, and the diameter of individual particles is about 500 nm. Palladium particles were precipitated on these supports, then the experiments were carried out to study the catalytic activity of these materials in a model reaction of nitroaniline reduction. The phenyl modified matrix-based materials showed very low activity. This is due to the fact that the support and the substrate contain aromatic fragments, thus, hydrophobic interactions arise between them, which complicates the diffusion of the products. The leader is a matrix with an amino fragment, which is associated with its electron-donor effect. The XPS method revealed the amount of fixed palladium, as well as the binding energy shifts, which are 0.68 eV for 5% Pd/SiO2–C6H5; 0.56 eV for 5% Pd/SiO2–C3H6–NH2; 0.26 eV for 5% Pd/SiO2–CH3; and 0.13 eV for 5% Pd/SiO2.
Ecological Civilization: A Blindspot in Global Media Coverage of China’s Environmental Governance

ABSTRACT China’s frenetic pace of economic development in recent decades has come with significant environmental costs. Confronted by this dire situation, the Chinese government has proposed the concept of ecological civilization as both an aspirational goal for sustainability and a guide to environmental policymaking. Despite this concept’s current centrality in China’s environmental discourse, little is known about how it is covered by media outlets outside China. In this article, we address this research gap by analyzing the framing of ecological civilization in English-language media outside China. Our qualitative discourse analysis reveals three major storylines that define the concept in conflicting ways: (1) ecological civilization as an environmental governance framework, (2) ecological civilization as a misleading propaganda ploy, and (3) ecological civilization as an eco-socialist blueprint. In light of these findings, we conclude by highlighting the potential of ecological civilization for advancing global conversations about transcending capitalism.
Studying the level of job burnout of human resources of export development bank of Iran and the impact of emotional intelligence on it

The present investigation was aimed to study the level of job burnout of human resources of Export Development Bank of Iran and the impact of emotional intelligence on it in 2013. The investigation was practical in terms of objectives, casual-descriptive in terms of data collection and quantitative in terms of method of data collection. The population consisted of more than 1550 individuals from domestic branches, free zones, headquarter units and some of the subordinate companies of Export Development Bank of Iran, which 306 individuals were chosen as a sample size using Cochran formula and stratified random sampling method. The data collection method was conducted based on two questionnaires of Schering emotional intelligence questionnaire (1996) and Maslesh and Jackson Job burnout questionnaire (1981). The reliability of the questionnaires was calculated using Cronbach‟s alpha method and composite reliability coefficient, which it was calculated more than 0.7 for the two questionnaires. Moreover, content validity and structural validity were used to check the validity of the questionnaire. The questionnaire was confirmed by the specialists in order to check the content validity, and the results obtained from the structural validity also demonstrated the validity of the measurement tool. The data obtained from the implementation of the questionnaires was analyzed using SPSS and Smart PLS 2.0 software in to parts of descriptive (frequency, percentage frequency, average, standard deviation and range of change) and inferential (structural equation modeling). The findings indicated that the level of job burnout of the employees of Export Development Bank of Iran is a little above the average. On the other hand, the results demonstrated that emotional intelligence and its dimensions have impact on the job burnout of human resources of Export Development Bank of Iran.
Dynamic stiffness of reinforced concrete beams

This study investigates the flexural stiffness rigidity of reinforced concrete beams under dynamic excitation. The dynamic stiffness was determined from the natural frequency of vibration of reinforced concrete beams statically loaded to various levels into the cracked regime. A non-linear moment–curvature model was used in the analysis to account for the concrete nonlinearity arising from the material cracking. The finite-element method was used in the study to solve the nonlinear equations and determine the values of natural frequency and dynamic stiffness. The variation of the natural frequency with increased applied load is studied and compared with that available in the literature. The study showed that the variation of applied load with natural frequency using the non-linear analysis agrees well with that obtained experimentally for small applied loads. The variation of applied load with static deflection using the non-linear analysis coincides well with that obtained experimentally for applied load.
Simulation of VSWR in axisymmetric coaxial connector

In this paper the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and the transmission lines (TL) method are used respectively in the calculation of voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) in an axisymmetric coaxial connector with nonuniform medium. Numerical results between the two methods are compared; more details of signal propagation in the connector can be given from the FDTD method, but the TL theory used is more simple and satisfactory results can also be obtained; the experimental result is in agreement with the calculations.
Position Detection System Using GPS for Carbody Tilt Control

By using the global positioning system (GPS), a novel train detection system has been established to assist trains with carbody tilt control. Japanese tilting trains can be equipped with an onboard database to store the current location and track conditions, thereby controlling the body tilt angle. This paper describes method to detect a train current position precisely by a combination of GPS and curvature collation, using the onboard database. This system was subjected to a running test to prove that its positional error was less than four meters.
Automatic cephalometric landmark identification in lateral skull X-Rays using convolutional neural networks

Cephalometric analysis is a study held in orthodontics, based on the identification of certain points in a skull image obtained through an X-ray image or another method in medical imaging. The indicated points are compared with standard values to evaluate and diagnose the patient. The radiograph’s labeling is regularly performed by hand, which makes the labeling process slow and prone to errors due to the visual acuity required. This approach is not much reproducible, because it relies on the domain and expertise of the expert labeler. Many machine learning methods were successfully applied to solve medical imaging tasks, aiming to reduce the health experts’ workload and emit more accurate diagnoses in less time and, avoid a more several clinical case. This work shows the design and development process of a machine learning system based on convolutional neural networks to identify 19 cephalometric landmarks for a lateral skull radiograph image as input. The system used a 400 labeled images dataset, from which, 150 were used for training, 150 for model’s validation and it was tested in the 100 remaining images.
Rethinking the design of resilience and adaptation indicators supporting coastal communities

As resilience and adaptation considerations become mainstreamed into public policy, there is an overarching desire to measure and quantify metrics and indicators that seek to evaluate the efficiency, effectiveness, and justness associated with outcomes of such processes. While much research has sought to develop specific indicators that may serve as proxies for these considerations, less research has focused on those normative aspects of indicator design that support a variety of goals associated with the accuracy, reproducibility, proxy value and multi-stakeholder translation of indicators, among various other goals and values. This perspective article sets forth a range of potential considerations that may be useful for those who seek to design and develop novel resilience and adaptation indicators (“RAIs”). These considerations are explored through a range of hypothetical examples that may be applicable to coastal communities that seek to address the practical challenges facing the design, execution, management and modification of RAIs.
Intelligent fault location for low voltage distribution networks

A fault location technology for low voltage distribution networks (LVDN) is described. Technical details and performance of the intelligent fault location (IFL) system and its usefulness in inaccessible cable situations are presented. The intelligence incorporated into the new system uses adaptive signal processing methods on TDR based signal returns to determine the location of a specific line fault. Results of the on-line IFL system operating automatically on real single, two or three phase networks are included. The results indicate that the IFL has the ability to see through single phase branches from the network. The novel technology allows faults on LVDN at ranges of up to 1000m to be identified. The results from field trials are presented to demonstrate the significant performance achieved with this system. Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) is one of the most common methods used for locating faults on Underground cables and transmission lines [1-6]. Although TDR based [7-8] methods have proven useful in high voltage networks they have proved less successful in ULVDNs. This is due to multiple 3-phase and single-phase (service cable) tee joints in the ULVDN. Due to the multiple tees, the TDR recorded signals are much more complicated than those obtained from high and medium voltage underground cables, and overhead transmission lines [9].
High‐efficiency LC‐S compensated wireless power transfer charging converter for implantable pacemakers

This paper deals with wireless power transfer (WPT) based on magnetic coupling resonance in order to delivery power to a cardiac pacemaker from the outside of the body. The high‐efficiency power delivery, implantation, and safety are key parameters for a WPT system, designed for active implantable medical devices. Therefore, this paper is focused on high‐efficiency power transfer, implantation, and safety issues. For the wireless charging of the pacemaker, the LC‐S compensation topology is presented and designed based on high‐efficiency power delivery. The resonant components of the LC‐S compensation topology were extracted in order to ensure that WPT converter operates at resonance frequency. The operation of the presented WPT charging converter is validated by a prototype operating at 300‐kHz operation frequency. At 4.2 V output voltage and 0.45 A output current, the WPT efficiency of the prototype is measured as 82.39%. Finally, the safety evaluation of the proposed WPT converter is also discussed based on reference values presented in the literature.
Nonparametric Interaction Selection

We consider the nonparametric two-way interaction model and propose a method to select important main effect and interaction effect terms simultaneously. Our method is based on backfitting local constant smoothing. Interaction selection is achieved by solving a constrained optimization problem to identify which main effect and interaction effect terms favor an infinity smoothing bandwidth. We establish selection consistency for the proposed method. Simulation examples and a real data example are used to illustrate its competitive finitesample performance.
Modular hysteresis current control of hybrid multilevel inverters

The cascading of H-bridges, with different DC-link potentials and power devices, to implement modular hybrid binary, quasilinear and trinary multilevel inverters has been a recent research area. To achieve true modular implementation of a hybrid inverter, it is important to design each H-bridge as a stand-alone power bridge with its own integrated controller. Various three-level hysteresis controllers suitable for integrating with an H-bridge inverter to form a stand-alone power bridge are presented. The hysteresis current controllers on multiple power bridges can be co-ordinated to implement a modular hysteresis-controlled hybrid multilevel inverter with robust reference tracking and fast dynamic performance. Digital logic synthesised to ensure equal switch utilisation within each of the power bridges is also presented. Simulation and experimental results verify the performance and practicality of the proposed modular hysteresis control of hybrid multilevel inverters.
Psychological discrepancy in message-induced belief change: Empirical evidence regarding four competing models

ABSTRACT Message discrepancy is the difference between the position of an advocated belief in a message and the position of a message receiver’s initial belief, and psychological discrepancy is how the message’s discrepancy is perceived by the receiver. The present study tested Fink et al.’s [(1983). Positional discrepancy, psychological discrepancy, and attitude change: Experimental tests of some mathematical models. Communication Monographs, 50(4), 413–430] psychological discrepancy model plus three other models to determine whether psychological discrepancy affects the weight of a message, the scale value of the message, neither, or both. These models were tested in an experiment that manipulated psychological discrepancy with a 3 (high vs. moderate vs. low message scale value) × 3 (wide vs. moderate vs. narrow perspective) between-subjects design (N = 448). The original Fink et al. model was the most supported. The results help explain how psychological processes bring about belief change.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING FOR PROFESSIONAL PESTICIDE USERS

The growing concern for health and safety of pesticide workers in the United States has generated standards and regulations as well as standard practices of worker hygiene and a recent increase in research in personal protective equipment (PPE). Personal protective equipment includes protective clothing and such gear as face masks, respirators, gloves, boots and other items, and the current U.S.A. federal regulations and standards are reviewed. All clothing is protective to some extent, yet protective clothing can act as an occlusive dressing, holding chemicals in contact with the skin, an organ of transpiration. The greatest health risk from pesticides comes through primary exposure, yet secondary exposure can happen through wearing contaminated clothing or through decontamination. By making persons exposed to pesticides more aware of dangers, how to avoid contamination, and how to deal with contaminated PPE, the potential for adverse effects may be reduced. Recent work in the area is summarized; however. given the 1,500 active ingredients, 35,000 formulations, and the hundreds of activities, sites and exposure patterns, more work of a predictive nature on successful decontamination refurbishment of personal protective equipment is needed.
