Fit-for-Purpose Payment System Interoperability: A Framework
Authors: Lawson Angela N. , Herrada Jorge
Published: July 2022

Payment systems, and interoperation within and between them, are complicated, making analysis and dialogue among analysts, technologists, and members of the public challenging. Given the emergence of new payment mechanisms, like CBDC and private digital currency, these discussions are increasingly important to identify opportunities and challenges. This paper proposes a four-step framework and provides several tools policy analysts, technologists, and interested members of the public can use to interpret and discuss payment system interoperation. First, we provide an overview of payment system interoperation and why it is important. Next, we describe our four-step framework. Then, we apply the framework by describing the potential results of a hypothetical fit-for-purpose interoperation discussion where both a hypothetical central bank digital currency (CBDC) and stablecoins, a type of private digital currency, could co-exist in a payment system.
Essai de dénomination des sucres en bamanankan
Authors: BALLO Issiaka
Published: July 2022

Il est facile d’avoir à suffisance des unités lexicales en bamanankan (Bambara). Par contre, lorsqu’il s’agit d’avoir des unités terminologiques en bamanankan, cela reste difficile dans certains domaines. La famille des glucides est profondément en manque de termes consacrés aux variétés de sucres dans le domaine de la biochimie. Un tel constat incite à conduire une recherche d’enrichissement lexical en bamanankan en vue de forger des unités terminologiques au sujet de 7 variétés de sucre. Il a été ainsi mis en avant l’approche de la recherche thématique fermée. La collecte des données a donc été faite à propos des concepts du sucre en français (langue source). Dans cet exercice, les occurrences des 7 variétés de sucre ont été sélectionnées munies de leurs relevés contextuels. En quête d’appariements bamanan attestés pour apparier les termes français, les dictionnaires et les résultats des travaux terminologiques précédents sur le bamanankan ont été revus en vain. Vu que le besoin de la création lexicale s’est rendu nécessaire, des propositions de potentielles dénominations bamanan venant des relevés contextuels sur lesdits concepts ont été faites. Ces propositions ont été triées pour n’apparier qu’une avec son équivalent français. A la fin des travaux, le traitement est assorti d’un vocabulaire sur les 7 dénominations forgées. La demande en terminologie des sucres en bamanankan se précise de jour en jour à travers les productions d'émissions de radio et de télévision lorsque l'on observe, avec la multiplication des chaînes de télévision, des programmes pleinement débattus en bamanankan. L'enseignement des matières telles que la biologie en bamanankan attend également des réponses terminologiques. Les mots forgés aideront socio-économiquement dans divers domaines tels que le traitement du diabète, le transfert de compétences et la production de matériel pédagogique sur les notions de sucre.
Le proverbe, vecteur de socialisation et de développement en Afrique
Authors: GNESSOTÉ Dago Michel
Published: July 2022

Le concept de développement, outre sa dimension économique, est un processus qui prend en compte les aspects sociaux, culturels, politiques, humains et spirituels. Tous ces changements dans divers domaines de la vie contribuent à l'amélioration des conditions de vie. Le proverbe, outil de communication, s'inscrit bien dans ce continuum. Il touche à tous les domaines de la vie. De ce point de vue, il peut être considéré comme une ressource qui peut servir à la cause du développement. Au-delà de sa vocation de vecteur de développement, cet art verbal se présente comme une école de formation. Ainsi, l'exploitation appropriée des ressources parémiologiques reste un bon moyen d'accéder aux modes de pensée et d'action des peuples. Les règles de la vie collective y sont enseignées ; cela permet à chaque citoyen de se construire. Tout ce processus par lequel les individus apprennent, favorise leur intégration dans la société et en fait des citoyens, acteurs de leur propre développement économique et social.
Les minorités autochtones de Russie face aux problèmes écologiques et au désaménagement linguistique
Authors: DJORDJEVIC LÉONARD Ksenija
Published: July 2022

Notre contribution portera sur quelques-unes des quarante communautés répertoriées aujourd’hui dans le recensement des peuples autochtones numériquement faibles du Nord, de la Sibérie et de l’Extrême-Orient de la Fédération de Russie. Forte de l’expérience de nos différents terrains sociolinguistiques en Fédération de Russie, nous porterons cette fois-ci notre regard sur la situation culturelle, sociale, économique, et surtout écologique, que connaissent de nos jours ces populations. Notre point de départ pour mener cette recherche sera le corpus des documents produits au sein de l’Association des peuples autochtones numériquement faibles du Nord, de la Sibérie et de l’Extrême-Orient de la Fédération de Russie, riches en témoignages authentiques, que nous mettrons ensuite en contraste avec les données et les missions annoncées dans des dispositifs officiels, afin de montrer comment ces populations mobilisent de nos jours des ressources linguistiques et culturelles en vue de la recherche de solutions aux problématiques liées au développement économique et sociétal de leurs régions, et pour l’amélioration de leurs conditions de vie.
Enrichissement lexical et enseignement des langues nationales
Authors: MOUZOU Palakyém
Published: July 2022

En Afrique en général et au Togo pour ce qui est de cette étude, la communication quotidienne hors domaine technique ou scientifique ne pose pas de problème. Par contre, les difficultés surviennent lorsqu’il s’agit de communiquer dans les langues de spécialité. Dans le domaine de l’éducation, l’enseignement en langues nationales tant souhaité par l’Union africaine, entre autres institutions, peine à devenir une réalité surtout dans les disciplines dites scientifiques ou techniques. La nécessité de doter les langues nationales de métalangages adéquats et adaptés aux besoins actuels se pose aujourd’hui comme la clé d’un développement endogène inclusif et pérenne. Cette préoccupation suscite un questionnement dont les principaux axes sont : la problématique de l’enseignement des langues nationales au Togo ; quelques défis de l’enseignement ; les solutions relatives à la terminologie scientifique. Si pourvoir les langues de lexiques spécialisés n’est pas la solution miracle, l’on ne doit pas perdre de vue l’évidence que le problème de l’enseignement des langues africaines dépend principalement des questions terminologiques. C’est la base de toute communication didactique.
Projet de médiation linguistique des savoirs agronomiques dans l’Ouest de la Côte d’Ivoire
Authors: SEA Souhan Monhuet Yves
Published: July 2022

Initié en 2012 dans le cadre spécifique du prolongement du projet LAGSUS mené en milieu rural toura, le projet de médiation linguistique des savoirs agronomiques pour le développement de la culture de l’arabusta dans l’ouest ivoirien fonde la collaboration des chercheurs en Linguistique pour le développement (LPD) avec les agronomes et les communautés-cibles. Les approches théoriques et méthodologiques intégrées de co-construction des savoirs endogènes et de leur transfert dans l’activité agricole au travers de l’alphabétisation fonctionnelle, contribuent à résoudre efficacement les problèmes socioéconomiques complètement fossilisés dans les pratiques démodées. L’alphabétisation fonctionnelle des ruraux analphabètes dans les zones montagneuses dan, toura et wè contribue à la participation réelle et inclusive des populations de ces milieux à la réalisation de leurs propres ambitions. La présente étude soulève la question de l’introduction de l’alphabétisation fonctionnelle dans la vulgarisation du café Arabusta dans l’ouest ivoirien. Cette contribution scientifique a pour objectifs de :
- présenter les effets produits par l’utilisation des langues autres que celles du milieu dans le transfert des savoirs agronomiques en contexte endogène ;
- montrer que l’usage des ressources linguistiques générées par les langues toura, dan et wobé permettent la construction de nouvelles technologies ;
- mettre en relief la rentabilité socioéconomique de la diffusion des savoirs et savoirs-faire agronomiques dans les langues locales, etc.
La démarche théorique de l’étude est celle du développement local élaborée par le Service Universitaire Canadien Outre-mer (SUCO). La méthodologie utilisée s’articule autour de la recherche documentaire et de l’enquête.

Concernant les résultats, notons : la mise en place d’une synergie collaborative interdisciplinaire dans l’exécution du projet Arabusta, l’acquisition de supports techniques pour l’introduction/vulgarisation de l’Arabusta dans l’Ouest montagneux et la pratique effective de l’alphabétisation fonctionnelle dans le milieu.
Diversité linguistique et culturelle dans les confessions religieuses du Togo
Authors: TAKOUGNADI Yoma
Published: July 2022

Le présent travail analyse les mécanismes de gestion de la diversité linguistique et culturelle dans les confessions religieuses (CR) du Togo. Elles sont des cadres où s’exprime quotidiennement la diversité des langues et des cultures au travers de leurs adeptes. A cet effet, quelles sont les politiques linguistiques qui y sont mises en œuvre et à quelle finalité ? Quels sont les mécanismes de prise en compte de cette diversité ? Peut-on dire que les CR et le développement linguistique constituent un binôme indissociable au Togo ? L’objectif de cette étude est de ressortir les mécanismes de gestion de la diversité des langues et des cultures afin de mesurer leurs impacts sur le développement des communautés locales. L’enquête a porté sur un échantillon de 75 congrégations chrétiennes dans les régions du nord du Togo. L’étude se fonde sur les concepts théoriques de la linguistique du développement (Métangmo-Tatou, 2019 ; Agresti, 2019). Les résultats montrent que le choix des CR de promouvoir toutes les langues locales comme outils d’évangélisation a contribué significativement au ressort des recherches sur les langues locales et au développement inclusif des communautés locales par l’alphabétisation.
De la nécessité de se doter d’outils lexicographiques adéquats pour le développement
Authors: TOURNEUX Henry
Published: July 2022

Des langues comme le français, l’anglais, l’allemand, etc., ont de très nombreux dictionnaires. Ce n’est pas encore le cas pour la plupart des langues africaines. Dans cet article, nous examinerons la question des outils lexicographiques dont il serait souhaitable de disposer pour écrire dans les langues africaines parlées dans les espaces francophones où la langue française n’est pas la langue maternelle de la majorité de la population. Sur la base de notre expérience haïtienne, nous passerons en revue de manière critique tous les outils lexicographiques dont une personne écrivant des textes peut avoir besoin dans les cultures orales. Nous insisterons sur l’importance de l’ordre alphabétique.
Une linguistique pour le développement social
Authors: AGRESTI Giovanni
Published: July 2022

La linguistique du développement social (LDS) est une articulation disciplinaire d’un ensemble plus vaste dénommé « linguistique pour le développement », qui est à son tour une forme de linguistique d’intervention qui s’est récemment constituée en réseau scientifique international (POCLANDE – Populations, Cultures, Langues et Développement). En une formule, la LDS vise à améliorer les conditions d’existence des individus et des sociétés à travers un particulier travail sur leurs langue(s) et mémoire(s). Ainsi formulé, le programme de la LDS possède une remarquable portée éthique, ce qui lui a valu d’être considérée comme une « utopie réalisable ». Cette portée est presque chiffrable dans le cadre des communautés linguistiques minoritaires, souvent fragilisées du point de vue socio-économique. Cependant, nombreux sont les facteurs qui, de nos jours, ont fait monter en puissance, au sein de plusieurs communautés scientifiques et de milieux sociaux divers, la demande de cette originale approche de linguistique.

The Law and Science Trial: a learning experience through role-playing
Authors: Castañeda Palacio Santiago , Herrera-Almanza Laura , Hernández Martínez Alejandro , Cuartas-Agudelo Yuban Sebastian , Martinez-Sanchez Lina Maria
Published: July 2022

INTRODUCTION: Problem-based learning and roleplay allow students to develop an active role in their learning process and make them implement classroom-acquired theoretical concepts in a practical environment. METHODS: The group of students was divided into 2 groups, the first representing the patient's family and the second the patient's insurance company. Each group defends its interests, the family defends the need for gene therapy and the insurance company defends the limitations that may occur with it. MAIN OBJECTIVE: In this article, we present an educational experience based on roleplaying and problem-based learning developed for a Molecular Biology course in a Faculty of Medicine of a Colombian university, where students are asked to act out specific roles on a simulated trial. RESULTS: As many concepts taught through the course are easily forgotten, the Law & Science Gene Therapy Trial was developed to make learning a more didactical process and, therefore, improve academic results. This experience allows a theoretical-practical integration based on the students’ knowledge of gene therapy, its molecular basis, and clinical implications. CONCLUSION: The trial is a meaningful experience that has been implemented for more than 10 years with Institutional support. Academic results from the experience have been exceptional and students are motivated to develop assertive communication and teamwork capacities.

Authors: Chiquetti Simone Merino , Faria João Roberto Gomes de
Published: July 2022

The relationship between urban morphology and thermal conditions has been subject of several scientific studies and, recently, the role of vegetation in this context has been investigated, aiming to understand its contributions to the improvement of thermal comfort in outdoor environments. This study aimed to understand the relationship between urban vegetation present in the sky view factor (FVC) and thermal comfort. A systematic literature review on the subject was carried out by applying an adaptation of the Preferred Reporting Items methodological approach for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), seeking to guarantee a transparent and replicable work. The evaluated materials were obtained through database searches using the terms vegetation AND “thermal comfort” AND “sky view factor” and selected by criteria defined by the “PICOS” strategy. parameters referring to the main characteristics of the researches and results achieved, through the reading and tabulation of data with the help of electronic spreadsheets. The results obtained highlight the growing interest in the subject in scientific research, but demonstrate a lack of studies in Latin American countries. It is also observed that most studies indicate a positive relationship between vegetation in the FVC and thermal comfort, with the incidence of negative results at night, winter or interference with wind speed. Such scenarios indicate the need for more studies that seek better understand the particularities of the behavior of urban vegetation in different ways. between climatic and morphological contexts.

Nyárfaültetvények orchideái – irodalmi áttekintés
Authors: Molnár V. Attila , Süveges Kristóf , Fekete Réka , Archaux Fréderic , Chevalier Richard , Takács Attila
Published: July 2022

A fatermesztési célú nyárfaültetvényekben 26 orchideafaj és 2 hibrid előfordulásáról 13 európai országból állnak rendelkezésre irodalmi adatok. További 4 faj előfordulását 3 országban a vi­lághálón található források igazolják. Az ültetett nyárasok leggyakoribb kosborféléi a rizómás, részleges mikoheterotróf Cephalanthera- és Epipactis-fajok közül kerülnek ki. Jelentőségüket fokozza, hogy egyes szűk elterjedésű fajok (E. bugacensis, E. campeadorii, E. fibri, E. tallosii, E. zaupolensis) állományainak nagy része nyárültetvényekben él. Az eddigi tanulmányok legtöbbször egyetlen vagy csupán néhány ültetvényből történő florisztikai adatközlésre szorítkoznak. Lengyelországi hosszabb távú megfigyelé­sek alapján az állományok évtizedekig fennmaradhatnak, sőt dinamikusan növekedhetnek. Az állomá­nyok egyedszáma egyes esetekben akár százezer példánynál is több lehet. Az orchideák legkorábban (4–)7–8 éves ültetvényekben jelennek meg. Az eddigi vizsgálatok alapján alig ismert, hogy a nyárfaül­tetvények művelése, szerkezete, talajviszonyai, illetve az ültetett nyárfa fajták hogyan befolyásolják az orchideák megjelenését. A nyárak és az orchideák mikorrhiza-kapcsolatai kulcsszerepet játszhatnak a folyamatban. Alig ismert, hogy az ültetvények gazdasági hasznosítása és az orchidea állományok hos­szabb távú fenntartása miként egyeztethető össze.
GENETIC VARIABILITY AND DIVERSITY OF UPLAND RICE LANDRACES
Authors: CHUCHERT Suwansa , NUALSRİ Charassri , SOONSUWON Watcharin
Published: July 2022

Genetic variability and diversity studies provide important data for plant breeders who manage breeding programs. Forty-three upland rice genotypes collected in Thailand were assessed genetic variability using randomized complete block designs with three replications in two years at the Faculty of Natural Resources, Prince of Songkla University. The eight characterized quantitative traits showed significant variations by genotypes. For the interaction genotype×year, significance was found in days to maturity, plant height, number of tillers hill-1, yield, and 1,000 seed weight. High genetic coefficients of variation were observed for days to flowering, plant height, number of tillers hill-1, 1,000 seed weight, and seed width. High broad-sense heritability was found for days to flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of tillers hill-1, 1,000 seed weight, and seed width. Cluster analysis grouped the 43 genotypes into eight groups based on SSR markers at 0.752 similarity level. These results expose the broad variability and assist rice breeders in selecting the appropriate genotypes for future breeding programs.
A report on the outcome of topical mitomycin C as the primary treatment for ocular surface squamous neoplasia
Authors: SS Hegde , GS Pooja , DN Prakash , S Dharwadkar
Published: July 2022

Background: Although surgical excision is still the gold standard treatment for ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN), interest in conservative medical approaches is steadily growing due to its advantages. The clinical outcome of topical mitomycin C (MMC) as the primary treatment for OSSN was reported. The primary outcome measure was clinical regression of the tumour. The secondary Outcome measures were duration of treatment, possible side effects and recurrences. Materials and methods: In this prospective study 11 patients with the diagnosis of OSSN were included. All were treated with mitomycin C eye drops 0.02% 4 times daily for 4 days a week. Results: Out of the 11 patients, complete tumour regression was achieved in 6 (54.5%) patients. The remaining 5 patients reported partial tumour regression. Mean duration of treatment was 6 weeks. The most common side effect noted was eye irritation. The side effect was transient and resolved with the cessation of treatment. No recurrence was observed during the follow up. Conclusion: Topical chemotherapy can be tried as primary treatment in all patients with OSSN as it can cause complete or partial tumour regression with negligible side effects. Keywords: ocular surface squamous neoplasia; mytomycin C; tumour regression
Comparative study of gabapentin versus pregabalin as a premedication in patients undergoing FESS under general anaesthesia
Authors: CN Girisha , HD Rashmi , B Amingad , HV Airani
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive procedure which is usually done under general anaesthesia. Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation may induce an intense sympathetic hemodynamic response which is dangerous in patients with comorbidities. So an effective and safe premedication drug to attenuate this response is very much necessary. Objectives: The present study was designed to compare the effects of oral gabapentin and oral pregabalin as a premedication to produce sedation and attenuate haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation in patients undergoing FESS under general anaesthesia. Methods: This prospective, randomized study was undertaken in ENT operation theatre in a Government teaching hospital, Karnataka between July 2020 and June 2021. Group A received gabapentin 600 mg and Group B received pregabalin 150 mg orally one hour prior to induction of general anaesthesia. Results: Patients in both group A and group B were sedated after premedication but the degree of sedation achieved in group B was higher compared to group A (p <0.05). Attenuation of HR and MAP was also higher in group B compared to group A (p <0.05). Conclusion: Premedication with both oral pregabalin 150mg and oral gabapentin 600mg, given 1 hour before general anaesthesia in patients undergoing FESS produce sedation and attenuate hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation. But premedication with oral pregabalin 150 mg is more effective than oral gabapentin 600 mg in producing sedation and attenuating the hemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and intubation. Keywords: gabapentin; pregabalin; FESS; anaesthesia
The Yoga Instructor Beliefs Scales Epistemic (YIBS-E) and Pedagogic (YIBS-P): Development and Initial Assessment of the Factor Structure
Authors: Reeves Tegan Jemma , Harrell-Williams Leigh , Khalsa Sat Bir Singh , Mueller Christian E. , Groessl Erik
Published: July 2022

Yoga is a multidimensional and heterogeneous mind-body practice led by a therapist or teacher (e.g., yoga instructor). Although they constitute an integral part of delivery, content, and curriculum, factors that influence yoga instructors’ choices have yet to be explored. Using a mixed methods sequential design for development of an instrument that identifies measurable epistemic (YIBS-E) and pedagogic (YIBS-P) beliefs, the Yoga Instructor Beliefs Scale (YIBS) reports validity evidence from four distinct phases. Phase I presents qualitative findings from literature-informed semistructured interviews to give a comprehensive construct model of yoga instructor beliefs from diverse styles/ schools/lineages of yoga (nine content-specific clusters). In Phase II, focus group panels of experts evaluated construct novelty and importance of themes, resulting in a pool of potential questionnaire items. Phase III employed cognitive interviews to assess the perceived meaning and clarity of using the preliminary YIBS items. Phase IV included exploratory factor analysis and correlational analyses using 204 yoga instructor responses, suggesting a 44-item instrument with distinct epistemic (Experiential, Energetic, Systems-Based, Affectual, Mindful, and Physical) and pedagogic (Curricular Integration, Student Awareness, Accessibility, and Differentiated Instruction) factors (YIBS- E α = 0.90, YIBS-P α = 0.85). Measurable belief constructs can inform research on individual yoga instructor differences that may influence curriculum content choices and delivery. The purpose of this instrument is to enable research linking instructor beliefs to the presence of various components of a yoga program and to contextualize defining qualities of yoga programs. Long-term use of this instrument should enable in-depth analyses such as mediation or moderation of yoga instructor beliefs on intervention components/content or outcomes.

A Routing Delay Predication Based on Packet Loss and Explicit Delay Acknowledgement for Congestion Control in MANET
Authors: Reddy Y Narasimha , Srinivas P. V. S.
Published: July 2022

In Mobile Ad hoc Networks congestion control and prevention are demanding because of network node mobility and dynamic topology. Congestion occurs primarily due to the large traffic volume in the case of data flow because the rate of inflow of data traffic is higher than the rate of data packets on the node. This alteration in sending rate results in routing delays and low throughput. The Rate control is a significant concern in streaming applications, especially in wireless networks. The TCP friendly rate control method is extensively recognized as a rate control mechanism for wired networks, which is effective in minimizing packet loss (PL) in the event of congestion. In this paper, we propose a routing delay prediction based on PL and Explicit Delay Acknowledgement (EDA) mechanism for data rate and congestion control in MANET to control data rate to minimize the loss of packets and improve the throughput. The experiment is performed over a reactive routing protocol to reduce the packet loss, jitter, and improvisation of throughput.

Transport is one of the key elements in the development of any country; it can be a powerful catalyst for economic growth. However, the infrastructure does not give enough to the huge number of vehicles which produces several problems, particularly in terms of road safety, and loss of time and pollution. One of the most significant problems is congestion, this is a major handicap for the road transport system. An alternative would be to use new technologies in the field of communication to send traffic information such as treacherous road conditions and accident sites by communicating, for a more efficient use of existing infrastructure.  In this paper, we present a CPS system, which can help drivers in order to have a better trip. For this raison we find the optimal way to reduce travel time and fuel consumption. This system based on our recent work [1]. It´s new approach aims to avoid congestion and queues, hat assure more efficient and optimal use of the existing road infrastructure. For that we concentrate by analyzing the useful and reliable traffic information collected in real time. The system is simulated in several conditions, Experimental result show that our approach is very effective. In the future work, we try to improve our system by adding more complexity in our system.

This review highlights the current literature data on the peptide hormone ghrelin. Ghrelin is a 28-amino-acid peptide, which is the only known peptide hormone modified with fatty acids. Ghrelin is a natural receptor ligand that stimulates the secretion of growth hormones. In addition to the stomach, ghrelin is expressed in many organs such as the duodenum, jejunum, ileum, colon, lungs, heart, pancreas, kidneys, testicles, pituitary gland, and hypothalamus. The main biological functions of this peptide include growth hormone secretion, appetite stimulation, modulation of gastric acid secretion and motility, and an increase in endocrine and exocrine pancreatic secretions. Reference intervals for ghrelin are 8.50216.6 pg/mL. The studies analyzed have shown a strong relationship between ghrelin and cardiovascular system function. Studies have also described the cardioprotective effects of ghrelin. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of ghrelin on the heart are not fully understood. A further deeper understanding of the role of ghrelin and future clinical studies are necessary to determine the diagnostic, prognostic, and possibly therapeutic significance of this biomarker.
Competence of the Tax Authority: Structure and Development Issues
Authors: Karaseva Marina V.
Published: July 2022

This article deals with the structure and features of the development of the competence of the tax authority in modern conditions. It is noted that the competence of the tax authority is, first of all, special i.e., competence in the field of finance because it is a state body specially created to carry out management in the field of finance. However, by exercising special competence, the tax authority manifests itself in two ways. In some cases, it acts in a tax legal relationship on its own behalf and is a state-authorized body. In other cases, it acts in a tax legal relationship on behalf of the state, being its representative. At the same time, the tax authority exercises general competence, which has become very noticeable in the last decade, owing to judicial practice. The general competence of the tax authority is manifested in its powers to file lawsuits arising from tax legal relations, in defense of the civil law interests of public law entities. However, these powers should be considered precisely as part of the general competence of the tax authority, because virtually every state body in its field of activity has such powers (to file claims). The development of the competence of the tax authority today is very noticeable and occurs both by expanding its general competence and translating general competence into special competence.
Legal Mechanisms for the Protection of State Digital Sovereignty: a Comparative Legal Aspect
Authors: Pechegin Denis A.
Published: July 2022

The rapid development of digital technologies, which has become a distinctive feature of modernity, determines the vectors of the evolution of public relations and modifications of their regulators, among which both technology and law are critical. Transport, economy, manufacturing, energy, agriculture, education, healthcare, and finance are just some of the areas that, being keys for the development of modern society and the state, are subject to digital transformation. The large-scale penetration of digital technologies into the jus publicum environment is mainly owing to the effectiveness of the tools available to achieve the goals set. Digitalization tools, such as big data, machine learning, neural networks, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, the Internet of Things, and robotics, make it possible to achieve automation, such that the current state of the market is confidently predicted at the particular moment of receiving, processing, and analyzing the data. This allows a swift determination of the most effective behavior model and maximizes profits, especially in the business environment. Digital technologies are thus becoming the basis for supporting competitiveness today, not only for the business community, but more importantly, the state. However, the problem is that the digitalization of public relations covered by jus publicum and statehood today is based on solutions and algorithms that are developed and put into practice by private companies and involve the construction of service-oriented relationship architectures that exclude the independence (integrity, completeness) of the digital products (goods, services). Consequently, the risks of losing the independence and supremacy of state power increase significantly; hence, the need to find alternatives. This article is devoted to the analysis of legal mechanisms for the protection of (digital) sovereignty in a comparative legal aspect.

In this article, the role of the Procurator of the Russian Federation in ensuring environmental law and order was determined, taking into account the requirements of the legislation for the purposes of the activity and appointment of the Institute of the Prosecutor's Office. It is concluded that the ensuring of law and order, particularly in environmental protection, is not a direct activity of the Prosecutors Office. Instead, its role is indirect and is carried out through the implementation of its functions, the most important of which is supervisory.
High and Infinite-Dimensional Filtering Methods
Authors:   , Jones Felix Gleeson Edward , Simpson Gideon
Published: July 2022

This thesis covers two major methods in high and infinite-dimensional filtering. The first is an iterate averaged 3DVAR filter for solving ill-posed inverse problems. The second is an implementation of weighted ensemble filtering for molecular simulation. Our new iterate-averaged filter demonstrates similar convergence to the traditional Kalman filter but is numerically, much cheaper, being more closely related to the 3DVAR filter. We will derive convergence results in mean squared error. Weighted ensemble is a variance reduction and importance sampling method. We will cover some key results related to the algorithm and implement it to obtain mean first passage time results for the alanine dipeptide molecule. We will also provide exact variance estimates for a two-step, rare-event model.
Strategies to Effect Change in the Minority Owned Business Ecosystem Using Opportunity Zones as a Framework for Impact Investing in Marginalized Communities

Published: July 2022

This research is meant to determine marginalized communities within Opportunity Zones can be developed into thriving, economically stable communities through initiatives and incentives that create, promote and support minority entrepreneurs within the community itself. By supporting minority owned businesses, it may be possible to achieve multigenerational family wealth and the growth and wealth of the broader community. The research methodology employed includes applied research conducted through numerous sources and include government websites, research papers, professional journals, literature reviews, white papers, journals, organizational websites, prior academic research, and research conducted by multiple foundations; qualitative research was accomplished through interviewing more than 25 key stakeholders across multiple industry sectors; and quantitative analysis from the U.S. Census Bureau as well as local data site, Open Data Philly, the Pew Charitable Trust and other verified sources to report on demographics and household data identifying low-income communities. Economic development in low-income neighborhoods has been challenging to fund. Long-term institutional disinvestment has created communities with high rates of poverty and unemployment stemming from policies based on discrimination from decades ago. Systemic racism, and all its economic and social implications, has created urban neighborhoods that continue a cycle of poverty and reliance on subsidies and assistance. Strategies to effect change in this ecosystem are part of a very complex set of social and economic issues. These distressed neighborhoods are predominantly minority populations with high unemployment rates and low educational opportunities. These factors create barriers to accessing higher wage-earning jobs and restrict community members to low skill, low barrier to entry positions in service and hospitality industries. Defining these strategies to create a fundamental shift in the existing ecosystem is the first step in a process that has gained national attention and become part of both the political and social discourse around the country. It is the responsibility of our local representatives and community members to create a synergistic environment where economic development and innovative inclusion pave the way to prosperity for all.
Technology Entrepreneurship in the Digital Age

Published: July 2022

In this dissertation, I examined an important topic in the entrepreneurship literature: How entrepreneurs address severe resource constraints. I drew on the entrepreneurial bricolage perspective to tackle this topic, which itself requires development. Theoretically, by noting the heterogeneity of individual bricolage behavior, I proposed a fine-grained perspective to examine the performance implications of entrepreneurial bricolage. Specifically, I distinguished between open bricolage and closed bricolage and theorized each of their relationships with performance as well as the mechanisms. Empirically, I focused on startups on Steam, the dominant digital distribution platform for PC games and examined two bricolage behaviors: 1) opening a product to users for user involvement (open bricolage) and 2) self-commercializing a product (closed bricolage), in which startups engage two unconventional resources: 1) the labor input by unpaid users and 2) the entrepreneur's amateur skills, respectively. I found a positive effect of open bricolage on market performance and a negative effect of closed bricolage on market performance. This dissertation contributes to the entrepreneurial bricolage perspective and the entrepreneurship literature at large.
Transformational Leadership

Research indicates that transformational leadership competencies are among valuable skills that are needed in a competitive job market. While there is a plethora of literature on predictions for the future of libraries, librarians' changing roles, gaps in technical and behavioral competencies and job knowledge, and the need to revamp the library science curriculum; this work adds to the literature on the importance of transformational leadership competencies in the education and professional development of librarians. The purpose of this non-experimental causal-comparative quantitative study was to investigate the extent to which transformational leadership competencies were present in required course curriculum of American Library Association (ALA) accredited library science master's degree programs (MLS). Required course syllabi of a stratified random sampling (n=15) of ALA-accredited Library Science Master Programs in the United States (N=55) were examined to investigate for differences between program requirements, transformational leadership competencies, and program national rankings as designated by US News and World Report (2021). The sample of MLS ranked programs included a top ranked (n=5), a middle ranked (n=5), and a bottom ranked (n=5) tier. Data were acquired through online course catalogs and official websites of MLS programs and were reviewed using software that identified the frequency of pre-defined keywords and terms collected and curated from literature as well as existing research. A thorough review and content analysis were used to investigate the presence and frequency of transformational leadership competencies within the required course syllabi. Descriptive statistics and multiple statistical analyses were conducted that determined there were no statistically significant differences between program requirements and tiers, between transformational leadership competencies in general, regardless of tier; and between transformational leadership competencies among and within tiers. Implications of the exclusion or inclusion of transformational leadership competencies and the importance of these competencies to the preparation of new librarians are discussed. Results and discussion provide recommendations to curriculum designers, library decision makers, and the ALA that can be used to ensure consistency of MLS required programing, accreditation standards, core competencies, and professional development opportunities to maintain and promote relevancy. Keywords: transformational leadership, competencies, library science, MLS, ALA-accredited, core competencies
HANDiMATE

Published: July 2022

This project seeks to identify an effective animation input method that is more intuitive, quicker, and less expensive than the industry-standard 3D animation input methods. The HANDiMATE input method was innovated using Unreal Engine and a leap motion sensor to act as a minimal viable product as a hand depth sensor-driven character animation input method. This study found that the advantages of HANDiMATE outweighed the disadvantages, according to participants. 93% percent of participants believed HANDiMATE could be a useful tool for creating character animations quickly with a portion of those participants citing minor to significant changes to make HANDiMATE more viable. Furthermore, many participants enjoyed the process of using HANDiMATE and many felt encouraged to practice using the input method to get better. The results show that a hand depth sensor-based animation input for character animation could be a substitution for current input methods with the right tools and practice using the input method.
