Review on the Payment Vehicle of Contingent Valuation Method – Focused on the Local Financial Investment Project

조건부가치측정법은 공공재적 성격이 높은 비시장재화에 대한 편익추정방법으로 많이 사용되고 있으나, 그 지불수단의 적정성에 대한 다양한 문제점이 지적되었다. 이와관련하여 본 연구에서는 조건부가치측정법의 영향권이 전국이 아닌 일부 수혜지역으로 설정되는 지방재정투자사업에 대해 어떤 지불수단이 적정한가에 대하여 검토하였다. 이를 위해 현실성, 강제성, 보편성, 목적성과 합리성, 그리고 과세대상 및 납세자, 편익과세 특성, 조세 목적 등 세목별 특성 등을 감안하여 지방재정투자사업 조건부가치측정법 지불수단으로 적용되었던 소득세, 재산세, 주민세, 부담금, 그리고 지방재정투자사업임을 감안하여 다양한 지방세 세목별 특성을 검토해보았다. 그 결과, 국세인 소득세 뿐만 아니라 부담금, 그리고 현 지방세 체제와 운영방식 하에서는 어떠한 특정지방세 세목을 지방재정투자사업 조건부가치측정법의 지불수단으로서 명시적으로 활용하는 데에는 한계가 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 본 연구에서는 재정투자사업이 다양한 재원을 포함하고 있음에 따른 특정 세목의 대표성 문제를 극복할 수 있고, 국가재정사업 및 지방재정투자사업 등과 무관하게 모든 공공투자사업에 일관되게 적용가능하며, 현실성과 강제성, 보편성이라는 지불수단의 원칙에 부합되는 세금을 조건부가치측정법의 지불수단으로 제안하였다.The Contingent Valuation Method(CVM) has been widely used as a benefit estimation method for non-market goods. But various problems have also been pointed out about the appropriateness of payment vehicle in CVM, and This study examined which payment vehicle will be appropriate to local financial investment project, whose impact areas generally have been set to the specific regions, not the nation-wide. This study examined the characteristics of payment vehicles previously used in CVM in the local financial investment project, such as income tax, property tax, residence tax, and levy etc, then the reality, compulsoriness, universality, and rationality were selected as principles of the payment vehicle. Subjects of tax, tax-payer and tax purpose of the local tax items were also considered. This study reviewed that not only each local tax item one by one but also national income tax, levy has a limit to be used to payment vehicle for local project under the current local tax law systems and their operations. The tax not only has all required characteristics to be payment vehicle, but also only can overcome representation problem of specific tax item that will be some part of total project cost which includes national, regional, and local finance or even private capital etc, and. Thus the tax only can be applicable to all kind of financial investment project, local or the nation-wide etc. Moreover the specific and hard-to-understand tax item to a normal person will not be necessary for payment vehicle in CVM that surveys for the public not the experts in budget or finance. As a result, this study proposed “tax” as a payment vehicle in CVM for the financial investment project.
Indicizzazione semantica di risorse musicali. L’applicabilità del Nuovo soggettario e il suo arricchimento con terminologia specialistica

The goal of this study is to present an overview of issues related to subject indexing of musical resources and also to describe what ‘subject’ access means in this domain. In other Countries subject indexing is realized with a lot of initiatives throughout the years, such as LCSH, the Music Thesaurus Project, Musaurus, and Rilm; in Italy the Nuovo Soggettario Thesaurus could be the tool for this practice. As a matter of fact, The Nuovo Soggettario Thesaurus comply with international standards and is freely accessible on the Web. It is steadily growing thanks to the efforts of the National Library of Florence (BNCF) as well as the external collaboration of several institutions. The Thesaurus, organized in a hierarchical arrangement, with a thoroughly faceted and synthetically list of terms, provides many links which allow connections to other knowledge organization tools as well as archival and museum resources. The Thesaurus structure is based on four conceptual categories which contain classes of concepts with common characteristics. Furthermore, terms are provided with a rich apparatus of notes and a dense network of semantic relationships (BT, NT, RT) that clarify the meaning of the terms. The Thesaurus is integrated with the BNCF’s opac and other libraries’ one, which use it in the Servizio Bibliotecario Nazionale (SBN) and users can browse through vocabulary to the bibliographic records. A large number of terms has a cross-language equivalence relationship with Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) preferred terms, linked at “Equiv. LCSH”. This article aims to present the possibility of enriching the terminological heritage of the Thesaurus with musical terminology. In addition, a case study (Sinfonie term) is presented which describes some interesting peculiarities about the musical terms. The management of the term has involved the examination of the scope note (SN) which is usually used for polysemi-terms. The case of Sinfonie is a significant example of this because of the evolution that the form has undergone over the centuries. This study also illustrates how a general thesaurus could be profitably employed also in a specific domain as well as how the results could be improved if librarians and specialists collaborate.
Students’ selection of teamwork tools in software engineering education: lessons learned

Software work is normally developed in groups. As a result, there is a need to develop teamwork competence in related activitiessuch as, software engineering education. In higher education educational settings, courses often propose several tools for studentgroups to either guide or support their work. In this paper, authors present main results and lessons learned from courses onsoftware engineering. Specifically, the aim of this paper is the study of the selection and the adoption of software engineering toolsby students working in teams, in the context of a software engineering course. The purpose of the study is analysing the students’decision making process and reasoning strategies to such selection. In this scenario, driven by a project based learning approach, aqualitative study on the use of specific tools to support group work was conducted. Results reveal that students demonstrate arational decision making process based on logical efficient reasoning. As consequence six lessons have been learned:everything inone place; the new over the known; freedom over imposition; performance and freedom; social influence and secondary role of projectmanagement. In addition, these six lessons have been compared with previous literature in the topic and backing them up withmain theories in the field. Finally, authors reflect on the implications of such lessons learned analyzing deeply aspects like freedomof choice, performance, tools features, imposition and social influence, to bring a set of grounded argumentations to the reader.
Innovative thinking development in engineers

Abstract Innovative thinking may be considered as a certain type of thinking both “serving” engineering and ensuring its success. Innovative thinking is to become a basic resource of experts in engineering. The article defines main components of innovative thinking (technical thinking, creative thinking and critical thinking). The authors study the problems of training experts in engineering in Russian universities. The recommendations on developing critical thinking in experts in engineering have been worked out.
A robust technique for real-time face verification with a generative network

Real-time face verification from a live stream is still an open question, although it is quite popular in recent years. In order to overcome this problem, several bio-metric techniques are widely used for authentication purposes, both in military and civilian areas. It is merely the task of detecting and comparing a candidate face with the other faces in the database to validate whether they are the same person or not. Typically, A face verification pipeline is composed of four stages: Face detection, alignment, recognition, and matching. The faces in the frames of the live stream are detected via a deep neural network (DNN) in the first part. Then, the detected faces are aligned, and another DNN extracts the face features. The feature vector of each face is used for matching with other vectors in the database to validate the identity. New developments in deep learning lead to achieving human-level performance on the aforementioned tasks. However, the networks used in the stages require high computation power. In order to achieve real-time performance in resource-limited devices, lightweight networks should be preferred. Unfortunately, usage of these kinds of networks decreases the detection and recognition performance dramatically in some frames of a live stream. Therefore, the set of feature vectors for an individual, collected from the live stream, contains outliers that complicate obtaining a robust reference feature vector, which is essential for achieving high confidence in verification tasks. In this work, a conditional generative network is utilized for generating these vectors for the given candidate. We conduct the experiments on a real-life scenario for showing the incrementation of performance that is caused by our proposed generative network.
The Impact of DDoS Attacks on Application Containers, System Containers, and Virtual Machines

A Distributed Denial of Service attack consists of many individual computer systems simultaneously overwhelming a single computing resource with information, thereby hindering its ability to function. Comparing the abilities of a Distributed Process Execution Environment’s ability to withstand a DDoS attack will demonstrate the advantages of each. This is necessary when designing a cloud system, as the chances of that system being compromised is vital to its operation. The experiment was performed by having several compute nodes as Attackers that worked together to perform a DDoS attack on the single machine, the Defender, running the Distributed Process Execution Environments. As the Defender was undergoing the DDoS attack, its performance was measured over time in the areas of CPU, GPU, Networking Bandwidth, and Memory.
Characterising quantum correlations of fixed dimension

We give a converging semidefinite programming hierarchy of outer approximations for the set of quantum correlations of fixed dimension and derive analytical bounds on the convergence speed of the hierarchy. In particular, we give a semidefinite program of size $\exp(\mathcal{O}\big(T^{12}(\log^2(AT)+\log(Q)\log(AT))/\epsilon^2\big))$ to compute additive $\epsilon$-approximations on the values of two-player free games with $T\times T$-dimensional quantum assistance, where $A$ and $Q$ denote the numbers of answers and questions of the game, respectively. For fixed dimension $T$, this scales polynomially in $Q$ and quasi-polynomially in $A$, thereby improving on previously known approximation algorithms for which worst-case run-time guarantees are at best exponential in $Q$ and $A$. For the proof, we make a connection to the quantum separability problem and employ improved multipartite quantum de Finetti theorems with linear constraints. We also derive an informationally complete measurement which minimises the loss in distinguishability relative to the quantum side information - which may be of independent interest.
Visual Memorability for Robotic Interestingness Prediction via Unsupervised Online Learning

In this paper, we explore the problem of interesting scene prediction for mobile robots. This area is currently underexplored but is crucial for many practical applications such as autonomous exploration and decision making. Inspired by industrial demands, we first propose a novel translation-invariant visual memory for recalling and identifying interesting scenes, then design a three-stage architecture of long-term, short-term, and online learning. This enables our system to learn human-like experience, environmental knowledge, and online adaption, respectively. Our approach achieves much higher accuracy than the state-of-the-art algorithms on challenging robotic interestingness datasets.
Design Of Praxis Programs For Students Of Pedagogical Master’s Degree Studies In The Context Of Federal State Educational Standards Implementation

Update of Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Education (FSES HE) has exacerbated the problem of designing praxis programs for student teachers. The analysis of FSES HE indicates that 33% of the entire program should be allocated to praxis focused on the development of the critical pedagogical thinking allowing to act quickly and competently in professional situations. The aim of the research is to analyze the experience of implementing the system of practical training for student teachers, substantiate the design of praxis programs for pedagogical master’s degree studies, identify and experimentally verify the positive effects of pedagogical praxis (master's level). Research methods: theoretical methods, reflective-system analysis of the pedagogical activity. Factorial qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews of the student body, questionnaires were used as empirical methods. The study involved 30 2nd-year students of pedagogical master’s degree studies. The results of the study indicate that it is necessary to organize a system of practical training for student teachers with a mandatory focus on such activities as analytical-reflective, design-technological, research. The praxis programs design of pedagogical master’s studies substantiated in the research provides: a continuum of innovation in the system of practical training of student teachers; the rationality and cost-effectiveness of the practical training process by virtue of the conjugation of evaluation tools of practical programs and theoretical disciplines; the orthogonality of the content of varied and heterogeneous praxis. The results of the study can be used in curricula development, praxis work programs, the implementation of comparative studies.
‘안용복 밀사’설에 관한 비판적 고찰

This article intends to examine the hypothesis about Ahn Yong-bok emissary. The hypothesis about Ahn Yong-bok emissary is that in 1696, Ahn Yong-bok went to Japan to receive a secret order from a powerful man and perform a special mission. A hypothesis about Ahn Yong-bok emissary is divided into the view that Nam Gu-man sent Ahn Yong-bok to emissaries (①)and that Nam Gu-man and Yoon Ji-wan cooperated(②). The main argument of ① is that the Korean government sent Ahn Yong-bok to Tottori-han to accuse of corruption in order to open a new diplomatic route through a line other than Tsushima-han, but was not reported to Edo Shogunate due to Tsushima-han's obstruction. The main point of ② was that the sentiment of Ahn Yong-bok was escorted to solve diplomatic issues with Japan while avoiding political conflict because it was difficult to officially send resignations due to the large differences in perceptions between political factions in Korea. However, this claim is not clear. First, it is not clear what is the difference in perception between political factions. Second, it is not clear what is the background of dispatching emissary, and when is Nam Gu-man planning to send emissary. Third, it is not clear how the king is involved in this matter. Finally, it is not clear how the Japanese accepted emissaries. Joseon government could send a envoy directly to inform the Edo Shogunate of the behavior of Tsushima-han by not sending emissaries. However, the justification for why Ahn Yong-bok should have sent a questionable question is not revealed in the hypothesis of emissary. A hypothesis about emissary used personal citations or secondary literature in the citation of historical sources, and some parts of the verses were overly woven with hypothesis about emissary.

Qualified Image Watermarking with Approximate Adders Using Xilinx System Generator

Image security is playing a key role in present real-world situations as the data transferring is mainly through digital images which may not secure. Hence, we present a novel algorithm for image watermarking using the error recovery adder and discrete wavelet transform. This process involves the hiding of one secret image into the host image qualitatively. For this process error recovery adder (ERA) is used to select the dynamic threshold value from the minimum values of the secret and host image. This error recovery adder reduces delay of the process. This work consists of both embedding and extraction process. The experimental consequences propose that the projected method provide results with high PSNR values.

Обеспечение модульности, адаптивности и гибкости образовательных программ в системе высшего образования

The paper proposes a variant of implementing higher education programs, aimed at ensuring the adequacy of the higher education system to personal, social and economic needs. To justify the feasibility of implementing the suggested version of educational programs, there are analyzed the features of the higher education system in the context of their compliance with current trends in the development of the social, economic, scientific and technological spheres. Certain specific features of the Russian higher education system are specified (as compared with foreign systems and the higher education system of the USSR). The goals and main functions of the higher education system are stated, the requirements for the higher education system as one of the institutions of the social and economic sphere are formulated. On the basis of the formulated requirements, there are set the conditions to be met by modern educational programs. There is as well proposed an optional way of bachelor’s degree program implementation – that is, in two blocks sequence: the first corresponding to the basic undergraduate level, and the second to the main one. The completion of each block is confirmed with a document to certify the fact of the corresponding part of the educational program having been mastered. The authors consider possible positive effects, as well as potential risks and difficulties, of the proposed ways of higher education programs implementation. There are listed corresponding necessary changes to the normative, organizational, technological, scientific and methodological documentation, including those related to the correction of federal state educational standards of higher education and the introduction of federal requirements for the implementation of the proposed blocks of the educational program, their specific features taken into account.

The study of elastic streaming processing of multidimensional optical signals in a distributed computing environment

Current trends in increasing the intelligence level of software systems for analyzing data flows under the constraints of processing time require the study of new technologies that take advantage of a distributed computing environment. In this paper, we implement a technology for distributed streaming processing of multidimensional optical signals based on the Apache Flink framework. The technology is studied on the task of transport video surveillance tracking unique objects captured by a system of geographically dispersed video cameras. We study the ability of proposed solution scale the processing depending on the amount of resources in the cloud, the quantity and quality of optical signals. The characteristics of processing processes of a set of frames of varying complexity on a computing cluster are investigated. NVIDIA AI City Challenge is used as test data sets.
FUNCTIONS OF PROJECTIVE IDENTIFICATION IN CINEMA

The article develops the concept of “projective identification” within the framework of identification theories as applied to the analysis of contemporary cinema. In the article, it is proved that cinema, in search of scenes, turns to fabulous and archetypal models that enhance the hero’s projection, identifying him or her with a role model. Such an identity becomes fatal for the hero himself. The striving of new Russian cinema, while maintaining a projective identity, to expand the range of identifications during dialogue with the viewer is also noted. A critical analysis of theories of identity and an analysis of the specifics of screen art makes it possible to clearly distinguish between the identity and identification, and to distinguish various levels of identity due to the specifics of identification. An analysis of the motivations in the film and of the screen arts conventions made it possible to clarify at which point or defining moment in the film such identification begins. The author proves that it is associated not so much with the specifics of the plot as with the specifics of the visualization, due to the narrative substrate and the boundaries of its onscreen deployment. Projective identification is considered as a resource of the spectator’s experience and as an innovation in cinema. It is proved that the modern existence of cinema in the space of new media and new arts turns what we consider art methods or devices into identification strategies that work differently depending on the expectations of the viewer and director’s optics, which becomes fundamentally changeable and unpredictable.
