Published: January 2022

Balai Pengembangan Penjaminan Mutu Pendidikan Vokasi (BPPMPV) merupakan Unit Pelaksana Teknis (UPT) di bawah Direktorat Jenderal Pendidikan Vokasi. Pembetukannya didasarkan pada Peraturan Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan No. 26 Tahun 2020 tentang Organisasi dan Tata Kerja Unit Pelaksana Teknis Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan. Kebijakan tersebut relatif baru, sehingga diperlukan sosialisasi yang massif kepada pelbagai entitas pendidikan vokasi, termasuk BPPMPV. Selain itu, ruang lingkupnya relatif terbatas hanya pada aspek penjaminan mutu, sehingga dilengkapi dengan kebijakan 4 aspek revitalisasi BPPMPV oleh Direktur Jenderal Pendidikan Vokasi. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman entitas BPPMPV (30 peserta) terhadap 2 produk kebijakan tersebut melalui metode sosialisasi. Hasil pengabdian masyarakat ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan pemahaman yang cukup signifikan dari 30 peserta sosialisasi, dengan total 19 peserta yang menjadi sangat memahami kebijakan pertama, dan sebanyak 21 peserta yang menjadi sangat memahami kebijakan yang kedua. Di sisi lain, tingkat kepuasan peserta terhadap pelaksanaan kegiatan juga tinggi, karena sebanyak 77% peserta puas terhadap pelaksanaan sosialisasi.

Lucretius. The Plague of Athens
Authors: Radu Gabriela
Published: January 2022

Lucretius’ On the Nature of Things, a poem that tries to convey the philosophy of Epicurus in verse, was published sometime in the 50s BCE. In the final book of his poem (Book VI), Lucretius describes the same plague in Athens as in Thucydides’ History. This work aims to analyze how Lucretius describes the anxiety and the fear accompanying the physical symptoms of the plague and, by establishing this connection, how he offers a dramatic depiction of a devastating epidemic.

REGIONAL PECULIARITIES OF THE PANDEMIC IN GEORGIA AT THE INITIAL STAGE OF THE CORONAVIRUS
Authors: SULABERIDZE AVTANDIL , ARCHVADZE JOSEPH , GOMELAURI NINO
Published: January 2022

Aspects of behavior and functioning of every state, social institute, human are rapidly changing in the modern world.
The pandemic occurring at the current stage of societal life has had an essential impact on the development of the society. This was reflected in the changes of humans’ sociological, economic, psychological, educational, cultural and other types of behaviors. In the fight against the global pandemic we notice a societal regress and therefore a wide study of the societal losses caused by the pandemic and
coming up with preventive measures on the global as well as regional scale occupy an important place on today’s agenda. Gradually, an opinion to the effect that the world will change and never be the same takes root in a society. Consequently, scientists must answer the following questions coming from the society: how will the coronavirus develop and reach its end, will there be other waves of the virus
and how much more dangerous can they be compared to the first one? What will be the new format of the fight against it? How will economy, education, science and culture develop? What kinds of risks and threats are expected to rear up in the world, on its certain continents, countries, etc.? The issue is all the more pressing and urgent not only because of the display of the pandemic’s peculiarities today and in the previous period with regard to various fields of societal development, but also as a result of the need to analyze the possible scenarios and trends of the post-pandemic period in regional perspective. The above-mentioned indicates the necessity of establishing the newest interdisciplinary field of science – pandemology. The fact of the matter is that as opposed to the existing science field of epidemiology, the research object of pandemology is broader and is derived from the global character of pandemics. Epidemiology belongs to the sphere of medicine whereas pandemology has to study not only medical domain but also the consequences caused by economic, demographic, sociological, psychological and other types of behavioral changes itself occasioned by the pandemic on the global scale as well as differentially, according to certain continents and countries. In this regard, we present regional peculiarities of the
results of a research conducted in some fields of pandemology, namely, sociology of pandemics and economy of pandemics in Georgia at the initial stage of the coronavirus. Against the background of risk perception and knowledge of the threat of pandemic, the article discusses the self-preservative preventive behavior of the population. It further analyzes the results of the population’s self-caring and economic behavior under those social-economic conditions which are brought about by the pandemic.

The country's leading factor in human development that is a human resource. It is the creator of everything and it is necessary to create a law and protect human resource. People need to implement, pursue the economic policy and ensure business efficiency. That functions, to prevent crime and to restore order. Man builds the country, but to build well, knowledge is needed and knowledge needs education. Humans capital is a body of knowledge and includes philosophical, social, economic and psychological aspects. This term dates from the eighty-seventh year of the twentieth century to its end. It is founder is Nobel Prize Laureate G. Becker. Human capital consists of: educational, professional-quality , information-cultural and social connections. Among them, the capital of the Social Union dominates in the conditions of Georgia. According to the GAERO, Georgia ranks 61st out of 189 countries in the Human Development Index. Human resources determine a person’s income. It is important to note that human capital is one of the main causes of income inequality. We differ from each other in terms of data and capabilities. It’s important that state should have a fair social-economic environment, which gives all possible conditions to citizens for the realization of opportunity
ANALYSIS OF THE CAPITAL STRUCTURE FORMATION: THE CASE OF GEORGIAN IT COMPANIES
Authors: GURBANOV GRIGORIY
Published: January 2022

Any country’s economy benefits significantly from the sector of information technologies. As the data demonstrate, the global information technology market has not only remained stable, but is expected to expand in 2021 due to changes in social life, employment, and education caused by the global COVID-19 virus pandemic. While information technology is vital to any country’s advancement, its growth in developing countries is being hindered by lack of skilled labour force, underdeveloped market infrastructure, insufficient financial mechanisms to stimulate innovative projects, and weak legislative framework. IT companies are characterized by a high degree of risk and uncertainty, a reliance on external sources of financing in the early stages, and an unattractiveness to conservative investors. In this regard, the issue of capital formation for innovative companies in the IT sector to ensure their effective functioning becomes especially important. The purpose of this study is to analyze the formation of financial sources and capital structure of Georgian IT companies based on the analysis of 50 IT companies in Georgia. The analysis is based on the usage of the main financial ratios of companies’ performance, taking into account the specifics of the IT sector companies. The study revealed that the capital structure of Georgian information technology firms is more consistent with the Pecking order theory, with almost no long-term loans and a small share of short-term loans. Equity and retained earnings are the primary sources of funding for IT businesses. This was supported by the legal exemption of corporations from income tax payments in the case of net profit non-distribution.

Indirect comparison of nonvitamin K oral anticoagulants and left atrial appendage occlusion
Authors: Kim Sung-Hwan , Park So-Yoon , Hwang Seung-Sik
Published: January 2022

Background: Anticoagulation is important in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients to reduce the occurrence of thrombotic events. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) as an alternative to systemic anticoagulation through an indirect comparative analysis.Methods: An indirect comparative analysis of nonvitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) and LAAO was conducted. Comparisons were made using data from four landmark randomized clinical trials (RE-LY, ROCKET-AF, ARISTOTLE, and PROTECT AF). Using warfarin as the common comparator, an indirect comparison was performed using data from each trial, and the relative risk was calculated between NOACs and LAAO.Results: NOACs and LAAO showed similar results for the reduction of stroke and systemic embolism, with a non-statistically significant trend favoring NOACs (hazard ratio [HR], 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.37–1.46 for dabigatran; HR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.50–1.92 for rivaroxaban; HR, 0.89; 95% CI, 0.45–1.74 for apixaban). Significantly fewer major bleeding and procedure-related complications were found in patients treated with apixaban compared with LAAO (HR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.26–0.75). Cardiovascular death occurred more frequently in patients administered NOACs than in patients with LAAO (HR, 2.28; 95% CI, 1.03–5.10 for dabigatran; HR, 2.41; 95% CI, 1.09–5.42 for rivaroxaban; HR, 2.40; 95% CI, 1.10–5.36 for apixaban). Conclusions: The rate of all-cause death was similar between NOACs and LAAO. Compared with LAAO, NOACs led to a nonsignificant numerical decrease in stroke and embolism in AF patients. Significantly fewer safety events occurred in patients treated with apixaban. LAAO significantly reduced cardiovascular death.
Adverse effects of statin therapy and their treatment
Authors: Cheon Dae Young , Jo Sang-Ho
Published: January 2022

Statins are one of the most widely used drugs worldwide as first-line drugs for the treatment of hyperlipidemia and the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Most of the side effects of statins are known to be mild, and mainly hepatotoxicity and various muscle symptoms are known. Recently, there have been studies on concerns about an increase in the incidence of diabetes after using statins, but it was found that the benefits sufficiently outweigh the risk of side effects. Therefore, the use of statins in the appropriate group should be actively performed, and it seems that the side effects can be prevented through close physical observation and appropriate examination.
Quantum Dipolar Coupling Thermal Correction for NMR Signal during Natural Rock Flooding by Melding Experimentation and Numerical Simulation (Th-CENS)
Authors: Alfarisi Omar , Zhang Hongtao , Ouzzane Djamel , Li Hongxia , Raza Aikifa
Published: January 2022

Researchers have used NMR to measure multi-phase fluid saturation and distribution inside porousmedia of natural rock. However, the NMR signal amplitude suffers reduction with the increase of temperature. The main reason is the Transverse Overhauser Effect, where heating increases the freedom for ionic motion, affecting spinning behavior by having two spins go in two opposite directions to form the Dipolar Coupling. We approach solving NMR thermal effects correction by melding experimentation and numerical simulation method. We use NMR for Cretaceous carbonate rock multi-phase flow research. We conduct time step in-situ temperature measurement for four different sections of the flooding system at the inlet, center, and outlet along the flooding path. In addition, we conduct a temperature measurement at the NMR device radial axis, representing the permanent magnet temperature. We build a 3D cylindrical heat transfer model for the numerical simulator that simulates thermal effectdistribution on the NMR for optimally generating the correction model. The insight provided by the simulator improved the understanding of the thermal distribution at the natural rock core plug to produce a better thermal correction model that meld experimentation and simulation, a method we call Th-CENS.
LPI-CSFFR: Combining Serial Fusion with Feature Reuse for Predicting LncRNA-Protein Interactions
Authors: Tan Jianjun , Huang Xiaoqian , Shi Yi , Yan Jing , Qu Wenyan , Li Xiaoyi
Published: January 2022

Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) play important roles in a series of life activities, and they function primarily with proteins. The wet experimental-based methods in lncRNA-protein interactions (lncRPIs) study are time-consuming. Therefore, in this study, we propose a reliable computational-based method called LPI-CSFFR using sequences, secondary structures, and physicochemical properties of proteins and lncRNAs for training and predicting LncRPIs. Combining Serial Fusion with Feature Reuse is utilized based on the deep learning convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm. The experimental results indicate that LPI-CSFFR achieves superior performance on benchmark datasets RPI1460 and RPI1807 with an accuracy of 83.1% and 98%, respectively. We further compare LPI-CSFFR with the state-of-the-art existing methods on the same benchmark datasets to evaluate the performance. In addition, we predict the independent RPI9373 dataset using the model trained on RPI1460. The results show that LPI-CSFFR is promising for predicting LncRPIs. The source code of LPI-CSFFR and the datasets used in this study are available at https://github.com/JianjunTan-Beijing/LPI-CSFFR.

Benchmark-Driven Algorithm Configuration Applied to Parallel Model-Based Optimization
Authors: Rehbach Frederik , Zaefferer Martin , Fischbach Andreas , Rudolph Günter , Bartz-Beielstein Thomas
Published: January 2022

This paper introduces a benchmarking framework that allows rigorous evaluation of parallel model-based optimizers for expensive functions.

The framework establishes a relationship between estimated costs of parallel function evaluations (on real-world problems) to known sets of test functions.

Such real-world problems are not always readily available (e.g., confidentiality, proprietary software).

Therefore, new test problems are created by Gaussian process simulation.

The proposed framework is applied in an extensive benchmark study to compare multiple state-of-the-art parallel optimizers with a novel model-based algorithm, which combines ideas of an explorative search for global model quality with parallel local searches to increase function exploitation.

The benchmarking framework is used to configure good batch size setups for parallel algorithms systematically based on landscape properties.

Furthermore, we introduce a proof-of-concept for a novel automatic batch size configuration.

The predictive quality of the batch size configuration is evaluated on a large set of test functions and the functions generated by Gaussian process simulation.

The introduced algorithm outperforms multiple state-of-the-art optimizers, especially on multi-modal problems.

Additionally, it proves to be particularly robust over various problem landscapes, and performs well with all tested batch sizes.

Consequently, this makes it well-suited for black-box kinds of problems.
Resampling Estimation based RPC Metadata Verification in Satellite Imagery
Authors: Gudavalli Chandrakanth , Goebel Michael , Nanjundaswamy Tejaswi , Nataraj Lakshmanan , Chandrasekaran Shivkumar , Manjunath B.S.
Published: January 2022

Recent advances in machine learning and computer vision have made it simple to manipulate a variety of images, including satellite images. Most of the commercially available satellite images go through the process of orthorectification to remove potential distortions due to terrain variations. This orthorectification process typically involves the use of rational polynomial coefficients (RPC) that geometrically remap the pixels in the original image to the rectified image. This paper proposes a new method to verify the authenticity of these orthorectified images with respect to the associated RPC metadata. The steps include calculating the Residual Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) pattern from the image using a linear predictor based residual spectral analysis and comparing with expected residual DFT pattern using the RPC metadata associated with the image. If the metadata associated with an orthorectified image is the correct one, then both the DFT patterns should have high structural similarity. We use SSIM (Structural Similarity Index Metric) to quantify the similarity and thereby verify if the data has been tampered or not. Detailed experimental results are presented to demonstrate the high accuracy of the proposed method in detecting manipulations.
Конфесионално-литургичке полемике у теолошким списима Зелићевих савременика
Authors: Vukašinović Vladimir
Published: January 2022

The works of Serbian theologians of the second half of the 18th century are characterized by a confessional-polemic style, as their goal was to set the sacred doctrine and the organization of liturgical life. This polemic approach was also due to the unfortunate position of the Orthodox minorities within the Austrian Monarchy, exposed as they were to the pressure of the Catholic Church. Analysing the works of the leading Serbian theologians of the time (D. Novaković, J. Rajić, Z. Orfelin), the author explains how Serbian polemical theology was created and eventually found its own formal style.
Common steps. A prototype for urban landscape regeneration
Authors: Katamadze Salome , Fantoni Duccio
Published: January 2022

The research concentrates on the difficulties of defining a city by the dichotomy of public and private spaces, as these categories are often ambiguous in terms of use of space, land property and limits. These urban phenomena of uncertainty have been significantly increased after the drastic switch from socialism to privatization in the post-Soviet countries, afterwards resulting as a spontaneous and uncontrolled urban tissue.The study focuses on the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi, where, by developing site-specific projects for the neglected urban fragments, finds the opportunity to reflect on the role of public space in the contemporary city. The contradictions of a post-Soviet city demonstrate the difficulties to operate with large scale actions. However, it still suggests the possibility to modify the urban condition through punctual interventions. The architectural proposal has been developed in the frameworks of Tbilisi Architecture Biennial 2020 on the topic of Commonness.
Corpo a corpo
Authors: Metta Annalisa
Published: January 2022

Bodies make immaterial, impermanent, and impregnable urban geographies, and thereby affirm and claim the open spaces of the city as fields of opportunity, repositories of not pacified and controversial rituals, therefore fruitful. Bodies have an explicit design value; they are cognitive as well as configurative tools. When we put bodies at the center of the project, we outline performative landscapes in both environmental and aesthetic, emotional and behavioral terms. At the same time, we male authentically erotic landscapes, which are opportunities for mixing, commingling, generating situations pulsating with life. We make landscape of great sensualism, in the very sense of expansion and amplification of sensibilities attentive to contextual interactions, both present and eventual. This paper investigates some of declinations of this statement, going through different scales and fields, from urban history to art history, and then dwells on some notable examples of contemporary landscape architecture.

The main stages of development of agricultural nematology
Authors: Sigareva D. , Bondar T. , Nikishicheva K. , Nikolaytchuk L.
Published: January 2022

Goal. Analyze the biological patterns underlying the principles of creating methods for monitoring and control of nematodes of field crops and woody plants, as well as the possibility of creating biological products based on EPN from local strains identified by the laboratory of nematology.

Methods. Analysis of the results of laboratory developments for 30 years of research.

Results. The high level of the number of parasitic species of nematodes (200—800 individuals in 100 cm3 of soil) has a significant impact on the growth, development and yield of the main field and flower ornamental crops. Losses can reach 35—55% of biomass (or ornamental) crops and 20—30% of the crop. Agrocenoses are more sensitive than natural coenoses to changes in the environment. Due to this, such agrotechnical measures as crop rotation, species and varietal composition of crops in crop rotation, fertilization system, tillage methods, etc. significantly affect the population density of parasitic nematodes, so they can be used to regulate their numbers. According to the results of laboratory tests in Ukraine, the pine wood nematode B. mucronatus was found, which is the cause of suppression and drying of Scots pine plantations. Methods for monitoring this new species of phytoparasitic nematodes have been developed. Long-term studies of the spread of entomopathogenic nematodes in Ukraine have made it possible to identify three species that quite densely (21.2% of the analyzed samples) inhabit the habitats of Ukraine, show high effectiveness against soil and other pests, so are promising for biopreparations based on entomopathogenic nematodes.

Conclusions. The use of methods developed in the laboratory for monitoring and controlling the number of populations of phytopathogenic nematodes will keep the damage from this group of pathogens at a low level, preserving up to 20—30% of the crop, and prevent drying of coniferous forests from bursaphelenchosis.

Determination of active substances of the class of sulphonyl urea in matrixes
Authors: Cherviakova L. , Panchenko T.
Published: January 2022

Goal. Selection of chromatographic method and development of a method for controlling the content of active substances nicosulfuron, rimsulfuron and thifensulfuron-methyl separately and in a combined presence in different combinations in matrices (formulations).

Methods. The active substances were determined by thin layer chromatography (TLC). The linear range of the dependence of the area of the chromatographic zones on the amount of active substance was estimated by statistical methods using correlation-regression analysis.

Results. Determination of pesticides includes the main stages: characterization of active substances by polarity; extraction their from the analyzed matrix; chromatographic separation, detection and quantification. The limiting integral indicator in the analysis is the dipole moment (µ, D), which characterizes the polarity of the compounds and their physicochemical properties. Nicosulfuron, rimsulfuron and thifensulfuron-methyl are low-polar compounds (2 <µ ≤ 6, D) with dipole moments of 5.48; 5.30 and 5.28 D, respectively. Extraction of active substances is carried out with ethanol. Qualitative determination — in a thin layer of adsorbent silica gel in the mobile phase (hexane + chloroform + ethanol + ethanoic acid 30:10:5:1) and with a dielectric constant ε = 5.12. Compounds were identified under a chromatoscope (λ 254 nm) and using bromophenol blue developing reagent and subsequent bleaching of the chromatogram background with citric acid solution. The dependence of the area of the chromatographic zone of the compound (S, mm2) on its amount (C, µg) is linear in the detection range of 0.30—1.30 µg and is described by the regression equation for: thifensulfuron-methyl S = 25.057 C + 0.4367 (R2 = 1.00); nicosulfuron S = 22.272 C + 0.0532 (R2 = 1.00); rimsulfuron S = 17.519 C + 0.9456 (R2 = 1.00). The equations are used to quantify the active substances on the chromatogram.

Conclusions. The use of TLC method allows to select selective conditions and to develop a method for determination of thifensulfuron-methyl, nicosulfuron and rimsulfuron in herbicide formulations separately and in combined presence in different combinations and quantities, which allows to determine three active substances in one analysis with high accuracy reproducibility (relative error, <5% at n = 5, P = 0.95). The introduction of the developed and patented method makes it possible to determine the active substances of the sulfonylurea class in herbicide formulations by analytical and toxicological laboratories, testing services without the use of expensive devices.
Pest risk analysis of Meloidogyne luci for Ukraine
Authors: Janse L.
Published: January 2022

Goal. To analyze the phytosanitary risk of introduction, acclimatization, distribution and harmfulness of Meloidogyne luci for Ukraine.

Methods. Pest risk analysis (PRA) was performed following the international standards ISPM 2, 11, 21; PM 5/2 (2) and the Ukrainian national protocol (Pylypenko et al., 2012). The conditions for acclimatization and further spread of nematodes were predicted using the Köppen-Geiger climate maps (Kottek et al. 2006). Data from EU national plant protection organizations and EPPO (EPPO Reporting Service 2016—2021; EPPO Alert List 2021), State Statistics Service of Ukraine (2016—2019), State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection, own research in previous years and literature sources were used for PRA.

Results. The current distribution area of M. luci covers six countries in Central and South America, two in Asia and four in Europe, viz. Greece, Italy, Portugal and Slovenia. More than 36 species (agricultural, flower-ornamental, medicinal and others) can act as host plant of M. luci. The potential harmfulness of M. luci is based on 1) high level of fertility of females, 2) the ability to survive in adverse conditions and 3) the ability to overcome resistance in tomatoes which is based on the Mi-1 resistance gene. At least three possible introduction pathways of M. luci to Ukraine have been identified via the import of infected plants or plant products from the countries within the current geographical distribution area of M. luci, that increased from (2016—2019 some 2.4 times).

Conclusions. Most of the imported plant products that could pose a risk for introduction of M. luci are coming from areas where it has been introduced recently, with low incidence and population densities. Therefore, the overall risk of introduction of M. luci into Ukraine is assessed as too low and it is recommended not to include M. luci in the Ukrainian national list of regulated pests.

Published: January 2022

Harmfulness and spread of a new dangerous pest of Mordellistena parvuliformis Stshegol.-Bar, 1930 have been recorded in the north-east of Ukraine. The results of researches of the reasons of occurrence, harmfulness and distribution of this dangerous pest of sunflower are generalized.

It was found that the larvae of the sunflower Mordellistena parvuliformis from the diapause occur from the end of the third decade of April after feeding on dead stem tissue. Depending on the time of hatching, the presence of pupae is observed until the end of May. From the third decade of May, you can see the flight of adults and after a short additional feeding on flowering vegetation — the beginning of mating. Adult flight lasts a little more than 1.5 months — until the second decade of July. Embryonic development lasts about two weeks. The last eggs laid were observed in early August. From the second decade of June there was a revival of larvae, which are in an active state inside the stems until mid-September until the end of feeding and transition to a state of rest for further wintering. Thus, the development of one complete generation of toadstools per year is established.
APPLICATION OF BOX-WILSON CENTRAL COMPOSITE EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN TO OPTIMIZE THE PROTEOLYTIC ACTIVITY IN MILK BY LACTOCOCCUS LACTIS LCL STRAIN
Authors: HASSAINE Omar
Published: January 2022

In this work, the individual and interactive effects of temperature and pH on the proteolytic activity of Lactococcus lactis LCL strain in milk were studied by quadratic Response Surface Methodology. The effects of the selected variables have been analysed using a Central Composite Design and the maximum response (proteolysis rate) under the optimum values of variables and of a satisfactory fit model was realized. The mathematical relationship of the proteolytic activity on the two significant independent variables can be approximated by a nonlinear polynomial model. Predicted values were found to be in a good agreement with experimental values (R2 = 0.937) demonstrating the good significance of the model. The result of optimization predicted by the model has shown that the maximal result for the proteolysis rate revolved around of 43.7 ± 1.4 % at the optimal condition (30°C and pH 7).
