Effects of Forest Thinning on the Long-Term Runoff Changes of Coniferous Forest Plantation
Authors: Yang Hyunje , Choi Hyung Tae , Lim Honggeun
Published: November 2019

Forests and water are closely related to each other. Thus, forest management is crucial for the sustainable clean water supply. Forest thinning is one of the fundamental forest management practices, as it can change runoff by controlling the density of trees. In this study, the effect of forest thinning on long-term runoff changes was evaluated, based on the long-term rainfall-runoff data of a coniferous plantation forest catchment in Korea. From the double mass curve and Pettitt’s test, a statistically significant increase in runoff rates was identified. A simple linear regression model of the double mass curve can successfully quantify the net effect of forest thinning on the runoff increase. Furthermore, it was also confirmed that forest thinning does not significantly increase the risk of flooding. About ten years after forest thinning, crown closure rates of the coniferous plantation forest reached a level similar to the pre-thinning period, and runoff rates returned to the pre-thinning level, due to forest growth. As a result of this study, a proposed direction for Korea’s forest policy for water resource management is presented for the future.
The Expected Shoreline Effect of a Marine Energy Farm Operating Close to Sardinia Island
Authors: Onea Florin , Rusu Eugen
Published: November 2019

Coastal areas are defined by numerous opportunities and threats. Among them we can mention emerging renewable projects and on the other hand coastal erosion. In the present work, the impact of a generic wind–wave farm on the nearshore waves and currents in the vicinity of the Porto Ferro inlet (northwest Sardinia) was assessed. Using a reanalysis wave dataset that covers a 40-year interval (1979–2018), the most relevant wave characteristics in the target area were identified. These can reach during winter a maximum value of 7.35 m for the significant wave height. As a next step, considering a modeling system that combines a wave model (simulating waves nearshore (SWAN)) and a surf model, the coastal impact of some generic marine energy farms defined by a transmission coefficient of 25% was assessed. According to the results corresponding to the reference sites and lines defined close to the shore, it becomes obvious that there is a clear attenuation in terms of significant wave heights, and as regards current velocities, although the general tendency for them to decrease, there are, however, some situations when the values of the nearshore current velocities can also decrease. Finally, we can mention that the presence of a marine energy farm seems to be beneficial for the beach stability in this particular coastal environment, and in some cases the transformation of the breaking waves from plunging to spilling is noticed.
Risk Analysis of Earth-Rock Dam Breach Based on Dynamic Bayesian Network
Authors: Li Zongkun , Wang Te , Ge Wei , Wei Dong , Li Hanyu
Published: November 2019

Despite the fact that the Bayesian network has great advantages in logical reasoning and calculation compared with the other traditional risk analysis methods, there are still obvious shortcomings in the study of dynamic risk. The risk factors of the earth-rock dam breach are complex, which vary with time during the operation period. Static risk analysis, limited to a specific period of time, cannot meet the needs of comprehensive assessment and early warning. By introducing time factors, a dynamic Bayesian network model was established to study the dynamic characteristics of dam-breach probability. Combined with the calculation of the conditional probability of nodes based on the Leaky Noisy-Or gate extended model, the reasoning results of Bayesian networks were modified by updating the data of different time nodes. Taking an earth-rock dam as an example, the results show that it has less possibility to breach and keep stable along the time axis. Moreover, the factors with vulnerability and instability were found effective, which could provide guidance for dam risk management.

Examples were chosen showing the effects of short and long-range ordering on the Raman spectra of compounds with closely related structures. The considered phases are ternary oxides (MM')O[2-x] with a grossly non-stoichiometric fluorite like structure.
Spectroscopie Raman dans le système ZrO2-M2O3 (M = Sc, Yb)
Authors: Piriou Bernard , Arashi Haruo
Published: November 2019

Nous présentons une étude par diffusion Raman des phases ordonnées γ et δ ainsi que de la phase cubique de composés du système ZrO₂ — Sc₂O₃. La transition ordre-désordre (γ → cubique) est étudiée par variation de la composition dans la solution solide Zr₅Sc[2-x]CYb[x]O₁₃. Cette transition est aussi mise en évidence à 750 °C sur le composé Zr₅Sc₁,₈Yb₀,₂ O₁₃. L'intérêt d'une renormalisation des spectres de haute température est montré. Le mode T[2θ] de la phase cubique non lacunaire est retrouvé en phase γ où subsistent des cations octacoordonnés à l'oxygène. Ce travail montre que dans les phases « ordonnées » il persiste un désordre résiduel dans la distribution lacunaire, qui est d'autant plus important que l'on se rapproche de la phase stabilisée.

Solides à dimensionnalité réduite
Authors: Danot Michel
Published: November 2019

Le caractère bidimensionnel ou unidimensionnel d'une structure provient d'une très forte anisotropie des liaisons chimiques qui y sont mises en jeu. Un tel solide est construit à partir d'individualités structurales telles que feuillets ou fibres. A l'intérieur de ces entités, les liaisons sont fortes (ionocovalentes ou métalliques). Entre feuillets ou fibres les liaisons sont faibles, généralement de type Van der Waals.

L'existence d'unités structurales nettement individualisées implique des conséquences cristallographiques, chimiques et physiques :

— la faiblesse des liaisons qui s'exercent entre individualités structurales voisines en autorise le glissement relatif. Ceci explique la multiplicité des formes polytypiques observées par exemple pour les composés lamellaires,

— cette faiblesse permet également d'écarter feuillets ou fibres par le jeu des diverses insertions envisageables (alcalins, alcalino-terreux, molécules organiques, ammoniac),

— l'anisotropie géométrique de telles structures se traduit par ailleurs par une grande anisotropic des propriétés physiques. Enfin, l'existence de surfaces de Fermi à larges portions parallèles peut déterminer l'apparition d'ondes de densité de charge.

Ces faits sont illustrés à l'aide d'exemples choisis parmi les chalcogénures d'éléments de transition : bidimensionnalité des dichalcogénures TX₂, pseudo-unidimensionnalité de composés tels que NbSe₃ et I[x]NbSe₄.
Ordre et désordre dans l'empilement des feuillets de phyllosilicates 2 : 1 hydratés
Authors: Calle Vian Cristina de la , Dubernat Jean , Suquet Hélène , Pézerat Henri
Published: November 2019

In hydrated 2 : 1 phyllosilicates, the layer stacking depends mainly on the ability of the interlayer space to induce, or not, long-or short-range order. One threedimensional order can be observed (in two water layer Ca-or Na-vermiculite) when peculiar water polyedra maintain the ditrigonal cavities facing each other. The other hydrated vermiculites tend to adopt semi-random stackings : two (sometimes three) energetically equivalent arrangements of adjacent layers are encountered, at random. A disordered layer stacking can be obtained if the interlayer space is unable to complete a defined anchoring of the layers towards each other.

Generally speaking, the layer stacking disorder increases when the interlayer cation or water molecule number decreases, and when negative charge is delocalized on the layer surface.
Les mésophases et leur orientation par des surfaces de solides
Authors: Billard Jean
Published: November 2019

L'existence des cristaux liquides a été démontrée par la coexistence dans ces états de la matière de la fluidité et de la biréfringence. Ces phases intermédiaires entre les solides et les liquides sont obtenues avec des molécules de diverses formes générales : calamitique, globulaire ou disquotique. De plus pour chacun des types correspondants de mésophases il existe un polymorphisme mésomorphe. Les classifications et les structures de ces mésophases sont évoquées. L'intérêt de ces objets partiellement ordonnés provient de leurs propriétés physiques spécifiques : faciès, orientation par des champs électrique ou magnétique et des surfaces de solides. Les limites des connaissances actuelles dans ce dernier domaine sont analysées. L'inventaire révèle que seules ont été étudiées les interactions de certaines des mésophases connues avec des surfaces de solides particulières. Quelques besoins de recherches nouvelles peuvent être dégagés.

treatment for cotton fabric
Authors: HONG KHANH VU THI , HUONG NGUYEN THI
Published: November 2019

In this study, the commercial organophosphorus compound Pyrovatex CP New was used as a flame retardant for cotton
fabric. Citric acid and a modified dihydroxy ethylene urea (DHEU) labelled Knittex FFRC were used as crosslinking to
increase the flame-retardant laundering durability of treated cotton fabric. There have been some studies showing that
Chitosan has the potential to improve flame retardancy and laundering durability of flame retardant treated cotton fabric.
Thus, Chitosan, which has the molecular weight of 2.600 (water soluble) and the deacetylation degree of approximately
75%, is added to finishing solution for flame retardant treatment of cotton fabric. The padding-drying-curing method was
used in this study. After treatment, all samples were examined to determine the chemical absorption level. The 45°
flammability test characteristics and LOI value of untreated and treated samples after different number of washing cycle
were determined to assess the flame retardancy of the treated fabric and its laundering durability. In addition, to assess
the impact of this treatment on the mechanical strength and ecology of the fabric, the tensile strength and free
formaldehyde content of the treated fabric were also evaluated

Published: November 2019

The paper made analysis of the world security situation and confirms the expansion of conflict zones and change in warfare forms.

The main feature of the international confrontation in the 21stcentury is the use of not only military force but also political, economic, information and other means of non-military character meant by the hybrid warfare concept. The authors singled out the tendency for national security expenses increase and change of priorities in their use. The main shortcomings of the system of national security functioning were identified, the consequence was used by Russia to re­venge its influence, invade the territory of Ukraine and occupy the Crimea. The necessity of counteracting the imperial ambitions of Russia in the context of its hybrid warfare set Ukraine the urgent task to create an effective security and de­fence sector, build up and restructure its military spending.

The paper emphasizes that the priority areas for financing the security and defence sectors in Ukraine are modernization of armaments and military equipment, development and procurement of the latest types of weapons, growth of research and development projects in the field of military affairs and related branches like aviation and space.

The subject matter of the research includes various aspects of the current state of financial leasing and ways of its advancement in Ukraine. The article provides an analysis of investment activities based on the volume of investments in Ukraine and determines the role of financial leasing as a funding for investment resources of enterprises. The paper also examines the legal and regulatory framework for financial leasing operations and highlights different interpretations of this form of financing as well as its formal indicators. An analysis of statistical data on the financial and credit market provides important insights into trends of financial leasing contracts and the volume of loans issued to corporate borrowers, and thus makes it possible to conclude that there is a lack of leasing operations in business activities of entities. The point is mainly supported by the fact that financial leasing contracts which have been made lately are not widespread enough after the crisis in 2014. The dynamics of changes in the volume of leasing contracts by dates of signing is considered, and it is found that there   is a tendency to shortening the duration of financial leasing services. An industry factor   of providing financial leasing services is taken into consideration and the main industries where these services are widespread are described. The existing approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of leasing contracts are systematized. The key challenges that hinder the growth of leasing in Ukraine are identified.The research methods used in the article include: analysis, synthesis and abstraction (for forming the rationale and developing the terminological and conceptual framework   of the study); comparison, systematization and logical generalization (for examining the concept of financial leasing, its legal regulation and specific features of using in Ukraine); statistical, structural and comparative analysis (for exploring ways of advancement of financial leasing in Ukraine).financialleasing;bankloan;financialandcreditsupport;investmentactivity; enterprises.

Authors: Voinova Yevheniia
Published: November 2019

The article examines the market of banking services in Ukraine through comparing indicators of competitiveness of Ukrainian banks and banks with foreign capital in the domestic market and global market. Taking into account the network-type structure of banks, six groups of banks are determined according to the degree of branching, namely: systemically important banks, all-Ukrainian equilibrium banks, all-Ukrainian concentrated banks, regional banks,  local  individual  banks,  closed  banks.  A  particular  emphasis  is placed on a range of banking services and pricing policies of banks groups. The classification of factors developed by M. Yokoi-Arai and N. Yoshino is used in order to assess the competitiveness of Ukraine’s banks in terms of effectiveness and volume of services provided, information technology and resource management. About fifty indicators of banking activites performed by groups of banks with domestic and foreign capital are compared, and also best-performing banks in these groups are described based on the analysis of 82 operating banks in Ukraine. The article presents evidence that, under current conditions in Ukraine, banks with domestic and foreign capital are represented    in all categories of banking services. It is pointed out that the highest competitiveness of Ukraine’s banks is observed in developing the network of ATM terminals, promoting Internet banking and, thus, a wide coverage of banking services. It is noted that Ukraine’s banks are less competitive in providing services for big businesses, international companies, funding projects, innovations and start-ups. The findings of the research paper can be useful for educational purposes as well as for professionals in the banking sector.

It is pointed out that the subject matter of the research paper is approaches of implementing technologies of personnel management in thermal power enterprises.The methodological framework consists of general research methods and also economic and statistical techniques, namely: systemic and structural anlsysis, statistical method    of economic analysis, empirical analysis to determine trends of personnel management  in thermal power enterprises; induction and deduction method to improve approaches    to implementing technologies of personnel management in thermal power enterprises; abstract-logical analysis, economic and mathematical programming to provide the rationale for introducing process and project approaches to implementation of personnel management technologies.A number of trends relevant to staff resources in enterprises are highlighted. It is assumed that the low level of investment is due to the following factors: high depreciation costs of equipment and large consumption of natural resources, a rigid organizational structure, a lack of delegated decision-making and leadership, a top-down approach to making decisions, use of traditional technologies of staff motivation and development, harmful working conditions.The paper provides recommendations on approaches to organizational structure of personnel management. It is concluded that little interaction between business units and insufficient use of technologies for staff development stem from the linear functional model of organizational structure. Particular attention is given to the importance of introducing process approaches to personnel management through horizontal and vertical integration of activities. Project approaches are also considered to be useful for implementing technologies of personnel management in thermal power enterprises. The article suggests ways for project team formation (think tanks / business incubators) and further innovative development of thermal power enterprises. Special reference is made to implementing growth-oriented technologies for personnel management and project team formation in thermal power enterprises. Finally, a set of methods for recruiting project managers are developed.

Authors: Averkin Yakiv
Published: November 2019

The article points out that enterprises operating in a competitive environment are facing challenges of formulating and making sound managerial decisions, which will enable entities to increase production and business efficiency. As shown in the paper,  there is    a need of operational cost analysis in enterprises, which will not only help them optimize processes, but also enable companies to plan and forecast further growth in the brewing industry by taking into account trends of previous years.After reviewing the research studies relevant to cost management in manufacturing enterprises, it is confirmed that cost management in enterprises of the brewing industry needs to be improved. This might be explained by the fact that enterprises of the brewing industry use various manufacturing technologies, which poses difficulties for comparing the stages of development of each enterprise in the industry. Special aspects of cost behavior in enterprises of the brewing industry are highlighted.The purpose of the article is to reveal common factors of cost behavior and describe classifications of costs in enterprises of the brewing industry. A special reference is made to a theoretical framework and practical recommendations on improving cost behavior in enterprises of the brewing industry.For the purpose of the article, the following research methods are applied: induction, deduction and comparison. These methods make it possible to classify costs according to certain criteria, and thus increase production and business efficiency of brewing enterprises. The analysis suggests that cost management should be based on features (criteria) which take into account cost value, making managerial decisions and regulation / control over production and business operation of enterprises.The suggested criteria are supposed to serve as a basis for developing operational plans of brewing enterprises. A series of theoretical considerations on cost behavior formulated in the article are of applicable nature and may be applied into practice.Finally, the paper provides recommendations on cost management in enterprises of the brewing industry.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CARDIOVASCULAR RESPONSE IN TWO ACUTE SUBMAXIMAL TREADMILL EXERCISE TESTS AND ITS CORRELATION WITH ANTHROPOMETRIC VARIABLES
Authors: yusuf Mohd
Published: November 2019

Aim: (i) To assess and compare the cardiovascular response in two sub-maximal exercise tests. (ii) to see correlation between cardiovascular
response and anthropometric variables.
Method: 125 males 18-25 years underwent first three stages of the original Bruce protocol in one session and exercise according to Treadmill
jogging test in another session in randomised order. Heart rate, blood pressure and ECG were recorded before, during and after taking the treadmill
test.
Results: During the exercise heart rate and systolic BP rose and diastolic BP fell in both the tests. Correlation analysis showed highly significant
positive correlation between BMI and pre-exercise systolic BP, post-exercise heart rate and post-exercise systolic BPin both the tests. ECG showed
no significant ST/Tor rhythm changes during or after the exercise.
Conclusion: Heart rate and BPchanges were more in Bruce submaximal exercise test as compared to treadmill jogging test. Higher BMI was found
to be correlated with higher resting systolic BP, higher post-exercise heart rate as well as higher post-exercise systolic BP.

Background: Kumaon region of Uttarakhand has a wide array of snakes. According to national health profile 2016 report on state wise cases and
death due to snake bite was 167 and 1 respectively in Uttarakhand 2015 (Jan- December).This led to enquire this statistical disparity in spite of high
prevalence of snake bite cases.
Aim: To asses treatment outcome of Snake bite victim in tertiary care setting.
Material And methods: Outcome was assessed in terms of clinical status at the time of discharge and duration of hospitalization.
Results: Dose range of anti snake venom (ASV) for all snake bite victim was 10 -20 vials. 86.36%% case recovered and 13.6% died.
Conclusion:Timely appropriate dose of anti snake venom administration has led to better outcome for which transportation of snake bite victim to
appropriate health facility with in golden hour is imperative.

Analyzing video for traffic categorization is an important pillar of Intelligent Transport Systems. However, it is difficult to analyze and predict traffic based on image frames because the representation of each frame may vary significantly within a short time period. This also would inaccurately represent the traffic over a longer period of time such as the case of video. We propose a novel bio-inspired methodology that integrates analysis of the previous image frames of the video to represent the analysis of the current image frame, the same way a human being analyzes the current situation based on past experience. In our proposed methodology, called IRON-MAN (Integrated Rational prediction and Motionless ANalysis), we utilize Bayesian update on top of the individual image frame analysis in the videos and this has resulted in highly accurate prediction of Temporal Motionless Analysis of the Videos (TMAV) for most of the chosen test cases. The proposed approach could be used for TMAV using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for applications where the number of objects in an image is the deciding factor for prediction and results also show that our proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art for the chosen test case. We also introduce a new metric named, Energy Consumption per Training Image (ECTI). Since, different CNN based models have different training capability and computing resource utilization, some of the models are more suitable for embedded device implementation than the others, and ECTI metric is useful to assess the suitability of using a CNN model in multi-processor systems-on-chips (MPSoCs) with a focus on energy consumption and reliability in terms of lifespan of the embedded device using these MPSoCs.
Women’s Circle Approach is An Alternative Path for Gender Responsive Public Procurement System in Indonesia
Authors: Yusran Sartiah , Mokodompit Eliyanti Agus , Matoka Ulfa
Published: November 2019

Public procurement is a strategic public-sector function that has been recognized as a vehicle in supporting the government to achieve social goals and sustainable economic development. In line with this, gender inequality can be a significant constraint to economic growth and poverty reduction. Women procurement specialists have experienced inequality access and poor participation in the capacity building program and lack of contribution being leaders in public procurement managerial positions. Most females who attended the training have returned their certificates due to the challenges of being the procurement committee. These indicate female gaps, barriers, and obstacles in working as procurement specialists. The main purpose of this study is to identify the importance of Women’s Circle initiative to obtain additional support in increasing women’s capacity to provide services better and succeed in the profession; to improve skills and networking of women and access, participate and perform their tasks as the procurement professional. The study reveals that the issue of female procurement specialist is still ‘underground’ and programs related to female procurement profession remain ‘absent’. Gender stereotypes and discrimination indicate the main gaps to promote to the manager position, even though they have a high level of education, smart and also a good commitment to their

work. Women are still recognized as the second group and are not allowed to play a leadership role, to some extent. This is due to the burden of domestic responsibilities that eventually catch up with them, making it difficult to remain in that role for an extended period of time. As a consequence, they have lack of self-confident, self-respect, self-esteem and also lack of capacities in communication and leadership skills and no motivation to promote themselves to the higher position. They agreed for the Women’s Circle initiative and this forum plays a vital role in supporting female professional capacity, enhancing the bargaining position and, empowering women to negotiate career development. Women’s Circle approach is a strategic path and potentially being an Educational and Training-based Forum or Learning-based forum; an agent of Reform-based Forum and as a Networking-based Forum. For a long-term benefit, Women’s Circle becomes an agent of change among women procurement specialist that finally led to being champions for Indonesian government procurement in reaching the quality of being more equitable, transparent and accountable. This approach is one of the indicators for increasing the quality of procurement modernization program with a gender perspective.
