Difficulties of Mastering Lexical System of the Chinese Language by Students
Authors: Nazarova S.A.
Published: August 2020

The article deals with the typology of lexical difficulties in teaching Chinese to students of philology of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The author highlights the views of scientists on a comparative study of the vocabulary of the native and foreign languages, examines the views of various researchers on the nature of the occurrence of interference and describes a set of conditions by which its nature is determined. A comparative analysis of two languages has two tasks — linguistic and methodological. The task of linguistic analysis is to fully and deeply identify all that is common and distinctive in these languages. The task of methodological analysis is to select from all material revealed as a result of linguistic analysis the one that can facilitate the consistent introduction of lexical material into the educational process, i.e. what contributes to the intensification of the educational process.

New Features of Modern Educational and Scientific Laboratory Equipment
Authors: Аrakcheev Р.V. , Buryi E.V. , Semerenko D.A. , Shlemenkov A.L.
Published: August 2020

The training of modern engineers, in terms of increasing amount of information that must be studied by the student prior to the beginning of his professional activity, requires the intensification of the learning process. The participation of students in lab classes is becoming important. This ensures the learning from different specialized fields and formation of initial skills practice. Operation of commercial instruments became so complex that the skills of management requires more time than is allocated for the laboratory practicum. Therefore, the development of equipment for these classes requires new solutions. It is important that the research objects are interesting to students, and the measurement tools meet a number of specific requirements: equipment for laboratory workshops of junior students must be implemented in “vandal-proof” performance; routine measurement procedures must be performed automatically; the results of experiments must be saved for further use in the educational process – this “careful” approach to the results guarantees increased attention of students in terms of their reliability. The article provides examples of implementation of these requirements in the universal scientific and educational complex “Lab-center”. The implementation of the principles “the same measuring devices and another object of research”, “the study of phenomena should move from simple to complex” in laboratory workshops of special subjects is demonstrated on the example of a complex for studying the features of semiconductor pumping in solid-state lasers. It is noted that it is increasingly required to perform laboratory workshops in “clean rooms”, where the objects of research are protected from external influences. The organization of remote control solves the problem of excluding the presence of students in such premises, but requires the use of special measures to prevent unauthorized access to the management of unique equipment. The article presents possible solutions to this problem. Existing examples show that the effectiveness of the practical classes is largely determined by the level of development of laboratory base of higher education institutions.

Based on the existing criteria of the optimization of learning process, the author concludes that the designed model is optimal for adult learners and effective for non-formal online language learning.
Vitamin B12, B6, or Folate and Cognitive Function in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Zhang Chenbo , Luo Jianfeng , Yuan Changzheng , Ding Ding
Published: August 2020

Background: Previous studies have indicated that B vitamin deficiencies are an essential cause of neurological pathology. There is a need to provide evidence of the benefit of B vitamins for the prevention of cognitive decline in community-dwelling older adults. Objective: To examine the association between intake and plasma levels of vitamins B12, B6, and folate and cognitive function in older populations through a systematic review and meta-analysis. Methods: Medline (PubMed), EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were used to search the literature though August 8, 2019. We included observational population-based studies evaluating the association between concentrations or intake levels of vitamins B6, B12, or folate and cognition in older adults aged ≥45 years. The quality of all studies was assessed by the modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Odds ratios (ORs) and hazard ratios (HRs) were analyzed by the random-effects model. Sensitivity analyses were conducted by excluding the studies with significant heterogeneity. Results: Twenty-one observational studies with sample sizes ranging from 155–7030 were included in the meta-analysis. Higher levels of vitamin B12 (OR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.61–0.97) and folate concentration (OR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.51–0.90) were associated with better cognition in cross-sectional studies, but not in sensitivity analyses or prospective studies. High vitamin B6 concentrations showed no significant benefit on cognition and dementia risk. Prospective studies did not provide substantial evidence for the relationship. Conclusion: The results from our meta-analysis suggest that vitamins B12, B6, and folate may not be modifiable risk factors for slowing cognitive decline among community-dwelling older individuals.

Published: August 2020

This paper analyzes the steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of biomagnetic fluid over a stretching/shrinking sheet with prescribed surface heat flux under the influence of a magnetic dipole. The governing equations are transformed into a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using similarity transformations. Numerical results are obtained using the boundary value problem solver bvp4c of MATLAB. The effects of various physical parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles as well as skin friction coefficient are discussed. The paper shows that dual solutions exist for certain values of stretching/shrinking sheet and suction parameters. Stability analysis is performed to determine which solution is stable and physically valid. Results of the stability analysis depict that the first solution (upper branch) is stable and physically realizable, while the second solution (lower branch) is unstable.
A novel pythagorean fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS method for the wind power farm location selection problem
Authors: Otay Irem , Jaller Miguel
Published: August 2020

This paper proposes an Integrated Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) with the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method using Pythagorean fuzzy sets for the wind farm location selection problem. The method combines the advantages of the two methodologies to consider uncertainties and lack of information in the decision-making process (human expert capacities) and enables better representation of membership and non-membership functions, and at the same time, allows for the evaluation of large numbers of alternatives and criteria. The authors implement the method to evaluate four potential sites near cities located in the west and north-west regions of Turkey, using seven main criteria and twenty-five sub-criteria. The analyses are based on the judgements of three experts/decision-makers. Moreover, the authors compare the results (site ranking) of the methodology, with those from a Pythagorean Fuzzy AHP and an interval-valued Type-2 fuzzy AHP method. With the additional consideration of the sub-criteria, the proposed method generates slight differences in the ranking compared to the previously evaluated methods.
More on Dombi operations and Dombi aggregation operators for q-rung orthopair fuzzy values
Authors: Du Wen Sheng
Published: August 2020

Dombi operations which include the Dombi product and Dombi sum are special cases of t-norms and t-conorms besides the algebraic operations. Recently, operations and aggregation operators for q-rung orthopair fuzzy values (q-ROFVs) based on Dombi operations were proposed. In this paper, we further discuss some additional issues relating to Dombi operations and Dombi aggregation operators of q-ROFVs. First, we give a reasonable explanation for the definition of the Dombi scalar multiplication and Dombi exponentiation which are constructed respectively by the Dombi sum and Dombi product over q-ROFVs, and then investigate the fundamental properties of these operations. Subsequently, the shift-invariance and homogeneity properties of the q-rung orthopair fuzzy Dombi weighted averaging/geometric operators are analyzed. And the boundedness of aforementioned aggregation operators are precisely characterized with respect to the parameter in Dombi operations. Finally, a method for multiattribute decision making is proposed by utilizing the developed operators under the q-rung orthopair fuzzy environment and an example of the selection of investment companies is given to illustrate the detailed decision making process.
Webshell detection with byte-level features based on deep learning
Authors: Zhongzheng Xiao , Luktarhan Nurbol
Published: August 2020

A webshell is a common tool for network intrusion. It has the characteristics of considerable threat and good concealment. An attacker obtains the management authority of web services through the webshell to penetrate and control web applications smoothly. Because webshell and common web page features are almost identical, it can evade detection by traditional firewalls and anti-virus software. Moreover, with the application of various anti-detection feature hiding techniques to the webshell, it is difficult to detect new patterns in time based on the traditional signature matching method. Webshell detection has been proposed based on deep learning. First, a dataset is opcoded, and the source code and opcode code features are fused. Second, the processed dataset is reduced using the SRNN and an attention mechanism, and the capsule network improves complete predictions for unknown pages. Experiments prove that the algorithm has higher detection efficiency and accuracy than traditional webshell detection methods, and it can also detect new types of webshell with a certain probability.

Published: August 2020

Since people around the world have gradually attached importance to resource conservation, various countries are actively taking measures to promote environmental protection and sustainable development. Green supply chain management (GSCM) have emerged in this context. Thus, in this essay, a novel intuitionistic fuzzy multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) method is designed to tackle this issue. First of all, CRITIC (Criteria Importance Through Inter-criteria Correlation) method is utilized to determine the weights of criteria. Later, the conventional Taxonomy method is extended to the intuitionistic fuzzy environment to compute the value of development attribute of each supplier. Then, the optimal one can be determined. Eventually, an application about green supplier selection in steel industry is presented, and a comparative analysis is made to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method. The main features of the proposed algorithm are that they provide a practical solution for selecting GSCM and presents an objective weighting method to enhance the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Authors: Reimann Jens , Kornblum Cornelia
Published: August 2020

There is increasing evidence of central nervous system involvement in numerous neuromuscular disorders primarily considered diseases of skeletal muscle. Our knowledge on cerebral affection in myopathies is expanding continuously due to a better understanding of the genetic background and underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. Intriguingly, there is a remarkable overlap of brain pathology in muscular diseases with pathomechanisms involved in neurodegenerative or neurodevelopmental disorders. A rapid progress in advanced neuroimaging techniques results in further detailed insight into structural and functional cerebral abnormalities. The spectrum of clinical manifestations is broad and includes movement disorders, neurovascular complications, paroxysmal neurological symptoms like migraine and epileptic seizures, but also behavioural abnormalities and cognitive dysfunction. Cerebral involvement implies a high socio-economic and personal burden in adult patients sometimes exceeding the everyday challenges associated with muscle weakness. It is especially important to clarify the nature and natural history of brain affection against the background of upcoming specific treatment regimen in hereditary myopathies that should address the brain as a secondary target. This review aims to highlight the character and extent of central nervous system involvement in patients with hereditary myopathies manifesting in adulthood, however also includes some childhood-onset diseases with brain abnormalities that transfer into adult neurological care.

Authors: Hasimoglu Yasemin G. , Chen Xiqun , Bakshi Rachit , Schwarzschild Michael A. , Macklin Eric A.
Published: August 2020

Higher serum urate concentration is associated with decreased risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD) as well as slower disease progression, but its relationship with severity of PD remains unclear. This study investigated whether changes in serum urate concentration over 5 years were associated with disease progression assessed by MDS-UPDRS Part III score, Hoehn and Yahr stage, or DaTscan imaging. Average serum urate concentration was stable over time and change in serum urate concentration did not correlate with worsening of measures of PD progression. These results suggest that serum urate concentration is not a monitoring biomarker of PD progression in early stages.

Fairy Tale Futures: Critical Reflections
Authors: Reynolds Kendra
Published: August 2020

This article provides critical reflections on Stijn Praet and Anna Kérchy’s edited collection, The Fairy Tale Vanguard: Literary Self-Consciousness in a Marvelous Genre (2019). Vanguard can be defined as “the foremost part of an advancing army or naval force,” with established and emerging critics marching in defence of the fairy tale against the genre’s complicated reception throughout the ages. The form’s self-consciousness and intertextual complexity is foregrounded, with fairy tale experiments ranging from those of 17th-century French female conteuses, to modernist short stories and contemporary films, which all combine into a celebration of the genre’s sophistication and continued relevance. The book engages with the generic complexity of the fairy tale, defying any kind of neat categorisation. ‘Fairy tale’ often functions as a ‘catch-all’ term for different fairy tale narratives, but this study paves the way for reflections on new subgenres such as the ‘anti-tale’. Finally, it is suggested that Rikki Ducornet’s idea of the ‘deep magic’ of fairy tales opens us up to a possibility, to an embrace of the unknown and all of its potentiality, providing us with an imaginative space within which to envision a new and better reality. This is foregrounded as a central tenant to The Fairy Tale Vanguard’s privileging of experimentation, which highlights that the fairy tale harnesses a deeply political potential in challenging current oppressions. Perhaps it is not us, fairy tale scholars, who are marching to the aid of the fairy tale then, rather it is the tales fighting for us in an unjust world.

Dalam penelitian ini yang menjadi fokus penelitian adalah dana pengelolaan dari Program Tunjangan Hari Tua. Adapun dana THT yang dikelola oleh PT Taspen (Persero) diinvestasikan dalam bentuk deposito, obligasi, saham, reksadana, penyertaan langsung, dan properti. Agar mendapatkan portofolio investasi yang optimal, maka penentuan strategi alokasi aset menjadi hal yang diperlukan. Data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini semuanya menggunakan data primer yang didapatkan dari Direktorat Investasi PT Taspen (Persero). Metode yang digunakan dalam mengukur optimalisasi portofolio investasi adalah metode mean-variance yang diperkenalkan oleh Harry Markowitz. Parameter yang digunakan antara lain berupa return, deviasi standar, korelasi serta kovarian dari masing-masing instrumen investasi tersebut. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa menurut model Markowitz, komposisi portofolio investasi optimal dengan tujuan untuk meminimalisir risiko portofolio pada PT Taspen (Persero) dapat diperoleh dengan memperbanyak porsi alokasi aset pada instrumen obligasi. Dan bila melihat pada kegiatan investasi yang telah dilakukan oleh PT Taspen (Persero) sebenarnya dapat dikatakan sudah mendekati ideal namun belum optimal. Hal ini mengingat terdapat ketentuan atau aturan yang membatasi jumlah presentase tiap instrumen investasi yang harus dipatuhi oleh PT Taspen (Persero).

Published: August 2020

Indonesia memasuki era baru dari sentralistik menjadi desentralistik. Dampak dari desentralisasi tersebut adalah adanya dana pemberian dana perimbangan untuk melaksanakan tugas dan tanggung jawab. Namun pemberian dana perimbangan tersebut, memberikan dampak lain yaitu ketergangungan pemerintah daerah kepada dana perimbangan. Penelitian menggunakan analisis metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan regresi panel data model dengan menggunakan data dari kluster kabupaten/kota dari kluster I sampai dengan IV dari tahun 2013-2018. Penelitian juga menggunakan analisis kuadran untuk melakukan mapping terhadap kabupaten/kota terhadap dana perimbangan dan kemandirian keuangan daerah. Hasil analisa regresi panel ditemukan bahwa pengaruh dana perimbangan memiliki pengaruh yang positif dan signifikan terhadap kemandirian keuangan daerah hanya di kluster II, sedangkan kluster lainnya tidak memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap kemandirian keuangan daerah. Hasil analisa regresi panel ini sejalan dengan analisa kuadran bahwa dari data kabupaten/kota yang ada baik di kluster I-IV, hampir 91,3% kabupaten/kota yang ada berada di kuadran IV. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa secara rata-rata 91,3% kabupaten/kota memiliki dana perimbangan yang realtif rendah dengan kemandirian keuangan yang juga relatif rendah untuk kluster I, III dan IV. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut maka pemerintah daerah kabupaten/kota harus mengalokasikan anggaran kepada potensi yang dapat dijadikan sebagai sumber penerimaan bagi daerah khususnya kepada belanja yang bersifat investasi dan produktif.

An Alternative Method of Construction and Analysis of Asymmetrical Factorial Experiment of the type 6x22 in Blocks of Size 12
Authors: Das Dipa Rani , Ghosh Sanjib
Published: August 2020

This paper focuses on the construction and analysis of an extra ordinary type of asymmetrical factorial experiment which corresponds to fraction of a symmetrical factorial experiment as indicated by Das (1960). For constructing this design, we have used 3 choices and for each choice we have used 5 different cases. Finding the block contents for each case we have seen that there are mainly two different cases for each choice. In case of analysis of variance, we have seen that, for the case where the highest order interaction effect is confounded in 4 replications, the loss of information is same for all the choices. Again for the case where the highest order interaction effect is confounded in 3 replications, the loss of information is also same for all the choices and one effect which is confounded due to fractionation has the same loss of information for all the choices.

The main objective of this paper is to study the Bayes estimators of the parameter of Laplace double exponential distribution. In Bayesian estimation loss function, prior distribution and posterior distribution are the most important ingredients. In real life we try to minimize the loss and want to know some prior information about the problem to solve it accurately. The well known conjugate priors are considered for finding the Bayes estimator. In our study we have used different symmetric and asymmetric loss functions such as squared error loss function, quadratic loss function, modified linear exponential (MLINEX) loss function and non-linear exponential (NLINEX) loss function. The performance of the obtained estimators for different types of loss functions are then compared among themselves as well as with the classical maximum likelihood estimator (MLE). Mean Square Error (MSE) of the estimators are also computed and presented in graphs.

Published: August 2020

The purpose of the article is to develop a model of digital transformation of an enterprise in the context of systemic economic theory. The relevance of the goal is determined by the large-scale transition of the world economy to digital functioning formats. Preliminary modeling of digital transformation will allow the enterprise to calculate the economic effect of its implementation, to identify changes in relations with its partners and competitors, the impact of these changes on the dynamics of the market value of resources and finished products. The objective of the article is to formulate a model that describes not only the digital transformation project itself, but also its relationship with the external environment of the enterprise, the processes of supply and sale of finished products. The article forms the hypothesis that the systemic economic theory allows you to create a model of digital transformation of the enterprise. This model has the following scientific novelty. 1. It substantiates the possibility and adequacy of the description of the relationships between the components of an economic tetrad (a complex of object, design, process and environmental systems) through a change in financial flows and indicators during the digital transformation of an enterprise. 2. The proposed model allows us to describe the impact of the digital transformation of the enterprise not only on its activities, but also on changes in the market environment of this enterprise, taking into account the changes in supply and demand for resources needed for the functioning of the transformed enterprise, as well as for the products it sells, resulting from the digital transformation of the enterprise. 3. Taking into account changes in the market environment surrounding the transformed enterprise allows integrating the mechanism of market competition into the economic tetrad. 4. The model of digital transformation of the enterprise allows you to explore the interactions of financial and economic processes that enhance and transmit the resulting effects of digital transformation along the vertical and horizontal of network space of economic tetrads. The proposed simulation will simplify the transition to digital transformation and the use of scenario analysis; increase the predictability of the results of digital transformation, reducing the risk of its negative consequences.

Background: Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide and in Nepal. Non small cell carcinoma is the commoner histological type. The incidence of adenocarcinoma subtype is increasing globally. This study aims to evaluate the clinical-radiological and histological profile and the diagnostic yield of various modalities in the diagnosis of lung cancer at a tertiary hospital in Nepal.Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional study conducted at National Academy of Medical Sciences, Kathmandu. Patients presenting with clinical and radiological features consistent with lung cancer and undergoing tissue sampling were included. The clinical and radiological characteristics, distribution of various histological subtypes and the diagnostic yield of various modalities were evaluated.Results: Of the 253 patients screened, 77 meeting the inclusion criteria were enrolled into the study. Lung cancer was diagnosed in 53 patients. Forty (75.5%) patients had non small cell carcinoma and 13 (24.5%) had small cell carcinoma. Among the non small cell variants, 20 (37.7%) had adenocarcinoma and 19 (35.9%) had squamous cell carcinoma. Hitopathological diagnosis of lung cancer was established in 39 of the 42 (92.9%) patients by bronchoscopy. Image guided biopsy and/or aspiration yielded the diagnosis in 13 (24.5%) patients. The diagnostic yields of endobronchial biopsy, needle aspiration, bronchial brush and bronchial wash cytology were 86.5%, 70%, 63% and 34.3%respectively. Conclusions: The result of this study concurs with the global trend of rising incidence of adenocarcinoma subtype. Bronchoscopy remains the most commonly used tool for diagnosis of lung cancer and combination of procedures such as biopsy, bronchial brush, needle aspiration and bronchial wash provided the highest yield in our study.Keywords: Bronchoscopy, Histological subtypes, Lung cancer, Tertiary hospital, Nepal.

Background: Low birth weight is a factor associated with perinatal, neonatal and post-neonatal morbidity and mortality and is associated with development of chronic diseases in adulthood. This study aimed to identify the maternal and obstetric factors associated with low birth weight in selected hospitals of Nepal.Methods: Matched case control study was conducted in two tertiary level hospital of Nepal during May 2017 to April 2018. There were 368 mothers with single full term live low birth weight babies (cases) and 736 mothers with single full term live normal birth weight babies (controls) matched on babies’ gender and place of delivery included in the study. Multivariable conditional logistic regression analysis was used to eliminate the effects of potential confounders and to identify the independent effect of various risk factors associated with low birth weight.Results: A total of 1104 respondents (1 case : 2 controls) were included in the study. Multivariable conditional logistic regression analysis revealed that maternal height <146 cm [AOR 5.14, (95%CI:2.03-13.01),(p=0.001)], maternal weight ?50 kg [AOR 3.75,(95%CI:2.15-6.56), (p<0.001)], primi-parity [AOR 4.58, (95%CI:1.71-12.25),(p=0.002)], multi-parity [AOR 3.01,(95%CI: 1.11-8.12),(p=0.030)], rest in day time ?2 hours [AOR 3.68, (95%CI: 2.01-6.75),(p<0.001)], rest in night time for <8 hours [AOR 5.76, (95%CI: 2.32-14.33), (p<0.001)], Iron and folic acid consumption for ?60 days [AOR 5.47, (95%CI: 2.73-10.95),(p<0.001)], Iron and folic acid consumption for 61-120 days [AOR 3.04, (95%CI: 1.90-4.87),(p<0.001), no calcium consumption [AOR 3.00, (95%CI: 1.78-5.04),(p<0.001)] were the significant risk factors associated with Low birth weightConclusions: Height and weight of women, parity, duration of rest in day time and night time, consumption of Iron and folic acid and calcium were the maternal and obstetric determinants for the occurrence of low birth weight.Keywords: Birth Weight; case control; low birth weight; maternal and obstetric factors; normal birth weight.

La memoria audiovisual registrada en soportes fílmicos y magnéticos por los colectivos sociales en el último tercio del siglo XX corre el riesgo de desaparecer. Queremos preservar esa perspectiva de la Historia. Para ello, proponemos crear una red dinamizada por profesionales audiovisuales, de archivo y participación ciudadana que conecte a dos agentes complementarios: colectivos sociales y particulares propietarios de audiovisuales e instituciones culturales de custodia de documentos.

Juntos queremos: localizar audiovisuales de movimientos sociales como el vecinal, ecologista, pacifista, feminista...; digitalizar las obras con máxima calidad; describir cada audiovisual según criterios de la profesión archivística; enriquecer incorporando los testimonios y referencias de los protagonistas; difundir, publicándolos en una web bajo licencias abiertas para su uso artístico, educativo y académico; y conservar, firmando convenios con instituciones para preservar los originales y copias digitales.
