Numerical Study of Flow and Particle Deposition in Wall-Flow Filters with Intact or Damaged Exit
Authors: Dritselis Chris D. , Tzorbatzoglou Fotini , Mastrokalos Marios , Haralampous Onoufrios
Published: December 2019

We examine the time-dependent three-dimensional gas-particle flow in an intact wall-flow filter consisting of channels alternatively plugged at each end and a partially damaged filter in which the rear plugs are removed. Our focus is placed on highlighting the differences in the flow pattern and the deposition process between the two geometries. The Navier–Stokes equations are solved for the fluid flow coupled with a Brinkman/Forchheimmer model in order to simulate the flow in the porous walls and plugs. Discrete particle simulation is utilized to determine the nanoparticle trajectories. Using this scheme, we are able to characterize the main features of the flow fields developing in the intact and damaged filters with respect to the Reynolds number and identify those affecting the transport and deposition of particles that have three representative response times. We present fluid velocity iso-contours, which describe the flow regimes inside the channels, as well as in regions upstream and downstream of them. We provide evidence of local recirculating bubbles at the entrance of the channels and after their exit, whereas back-flow occurs in front of the rear plugs of the intact channels. We show that the flow leaves the channels as strong jets that may break up for certain flow parameters, leading to turbulence with features that depend on the presence of the rear plugs. The removal of the rear plugs affects the flow distribution, which, in turn influences the flow rates along the channels and through the walls. We describe the particle trajectories and the topology of deposited particles and show that particles follow closely the streamlines, which may cross the surface of permeable walls for both flow configurations. The distribution of deposited particles resembles the spatial variation of the through-wall flow rate, exhibiting two peak values at both ends of the intact filter channel, and one local maximum near the entrance of the damaged filter channel that is diminished at the exit. We also investigate in detail the particle deposition on the frontal face and indicate that particle accumulation at the edges of the entrance is favored for particles with low response times in flows with high fluid mass rates for both intact and damaged filters. Finally, we examine the filtration efficiency for the defective channels without rear plugs and show that fewer particles are captured as the Reynolds number is increased. A smaller reduction of the filtration efficiency is also predicted with increasing particle size.
Riprap Scour Protection for Monopiles in Offshore Wind Farms
Authors: Esteban M.Dolores , López-Gutiérrez José-Santos , Negro Vicente , Sanz Luciano
Published: December 2019

The scour phenomenon is critical for monopile structures in offshore wind farms. There are two possible strategies: allowing the development of scour holes around the monopile or avoiding it by placing scour protection. The last one is the most used up to now. This paper is focused on the determination of the weight of the stones forming the scour protection. There are some formulas for the design of these parameters, having a lot of uncertainties around them. Some of them were created for fluvial environment, with a different flow to the marine one. Other formulas were elaborated specifically for coastal structures, closer to the coast than offshore wind farms, and with dimensions completely different. This paper presents the analysis of three formulas: Isbash, corresponding to fluvial environment, and Soulsby, and De Vos, corresponding to marine environment. The results of the application of those formulas are compared with real data of scour protection systems showing good results in five offshore wind facilities in operation (Arklow Bank phase 1, Egmond aan Zee, Horns Rev phase 1, Princess Amalia, and Scroby Sands), giving conclusion about the uncertainties of the use of these formulas and recommendations for using them in offshore wind.

Authors: Ismail Muhammad , Saeed Umer , Alzabut Jehad , ur Rehman Mujeeb
Published: December 2019

In this study, we present a novel numerical scheme for the approximate solutions of linear as well as non-linear ordinary differential equations of fractional order with boundary conditions. This method combines Cosine and Sine (CAS) wavelets together with Green function, called Green-CAS method. The method simplifies the existing CAS wavelet method and does not require conventional operational matrices of integration for certain cases. Quasilinearization technique is used to transform non-linear fractional differential equations to linear equations and then Green-CAS method is applied. Furthermore, the proposed method has also been analyzed for convergence, particularly in the context of error analysis. Sufficient conditions for the existence of unique solutions are established for the boundary value problem under consideration. Moreover, to elaborate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method, results of essential numerical applications have also been documented in graphical as well as tabular form.
Simplified Fractional Order Controller Design Algorithm
Authors: Dulf Eva-Henrietta
Published: December 2019

Classical fractional order controller tuning techniques usually establish the parameters of the controller by solving a system of nonlinear equations resulted from the frequency domain specifications like phase margin, gain crossover frequency, iso-damping property, robustness to uncertainty, etc. In the present paper a novel fractional order generalized optimum method for controller design using frequency domain is presented. The tuning rules are inspired from the symmetrical optimum principles of Kessler. In the first part of the paper are presented the generalized tuning rules of this method. Introducing the fractional order, one more degree of freedom is obtained in design, offering solution for practically any desired closed-loop performance measures. The proposed method has the advantage that takes into account both robustness aspects and desired closed-loop characteristics, using simple tuning-friendly equations. It can be applied to a wide range of process models, from integer order models to fractional order models. Simulation results are given to highlight these advantages.
Mobilome and Resistome Reconstruction from Genomes Belonging to Members of the Bifidobacterium Genus
Authors: Mancino Walter , Lugli Gabriele Andrea , van Sinderen Douwe , Ventura Marco , Turroni Francesca
Published: December 2019

Specific members of the genus Bifidobacterium are among the first colonizers of the human/animal gut, where they act as important intestinal commensals associated with host health. As part of the gut microbiota, bifidobacteria may be exposed to antibiotics, used in particular for intrapartum prophylaxis, especially to prevent Streptococcus infections, or in the very early stages of life after the birth. In the current study, we reconstructed the in silico resistome of the Bifidobacterium genus, analyzing a database composed of 625 bifidobacterial genomes, including partial assembled strains with less than 100 genomic sequences. Furthermore, we screened bifidobacterial genomes for mobile genetic elements, such as transposases and prophage-like elements, in order to investigate the correlation between the bifido-mobilome and the bifido-resistome, also identifying genetic insertion hotspots that appear to be prone to horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events. These insertion hotspots were shown to be widely distributed among analyzed bifidobacterial genomes, and suggest the acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes through HGT events. These data were further corroborated by growth experiments directed to evaluate bacitracin A resistance in Bifidobacterium spp., a property that was predicted by in silico analyses to be part of the HGT-acquired resistome.

Authors: Alkorta Ibon , Elguero José , Yáñez Manuel , Mó Otilia , Montero-Campillo M. Merced
Published: December 2019

Relativistic effects are found to be important for the estimation of NMR parameters in halogen-bonded complexes, mainly when they involve the heavier elements, iodine and astatine. A detailed study of 60 binary complexes formed between dihalogen molecules (XY with X, Y = F, Cl, Br, I and At) and four Lewis bases (NH3, H2O, PH3 and SH2) was carried out at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ/aug-cc-pVTZ-PP computational level to show the extent of these effects. The NMR parameters (shielding and nuclear quadrupolar coupling constants) were computed using the relativistic Hamiltonian ZORA and compared to the values obtained with a non-relativistic Hamiltonian. The results show a mixture of the importance of the relativistic corrections as both the size of the halogen atom and the proximity of this atom to the basic site of the Lewis base increase.

Published: December 2019

This study aimed to determine the effect of applying stimulatory agents to liquid cultured Inonotus obliquus on the simultaneous accumulation of exo-polysaccharides (EPS) and their monosaccharide composition. Different stimulatory agents (VB6, VB1, betulin and birch extract) were investigated for their effects on active exo-polysaccharides by submerged fermentation of I. obliquus. The mycelial biomass, reducing sugar content, EPS yield and α-glucosidase inhibition rate were determined, and the EPS obtained was analyzed for monosaccharide composition. The results showed that the addition of all the four stimulatory agents could significantly increase the inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase of EPS than the control, whereas EPS from 4 μg/mL VB1-containing medium had the best effect with an estimated IC50 value 24.34 μg/mL. Among the four stimulatory agents, VB6 gave maximum production of mycelial biomass and EPS at the concentration of 4 μg/mL with a increase of 50.79% and 114.46%, respectively. In addition, betulin had a significant effect on increasing the EPS yield and activity, and birch extract had a significantly stimulatory effect on the mycelial growth and the polysaccharides activity, only slightly worse than VB6 and VB1. Moreover, the addition of different stimulatory agents changed the monosaccharide composition of polysaccharides, which had a correlation with polysaccharide activity.

Published: December 2019

Exogenous antioxidants may be beneficial therapeutic tools to tackle the oxidative damage in neurodegenerative diseases by regulation of the redox state that is critical for cell viability and organ function. Inspired by natural plant polyphenols, a series of cinnamic acid-based thiophenolic and phenolic compounds were synthesized and their antioxidant and neuroprotective properties were studied. In general, our results showed that the replacement of the hydroxyl group (OH) by a sulfhydryl group (SH) increased the radical scavenging activity and enhanced the reaction rate with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH•) and galvinoxyl radical (GO•). These results correlated well with the lower oxidation potential (Ep) values of thiophenols. However, a lower peroxyl radical (ROO•) scavenging activity was observed for thiophenols in oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC-FL) assay. Furthermore, the introduction of 5-methoxy and 5-phenyl groups in the aromatic ring of 4-thioferulic acid (TFA) 2 and ferulic acid (FA) 1 did not significantly improve their antioxidant activity, despite the slight decrease of Ep observed for compounds 5, 6, and 9. Concerning cinnamic acid amides, the antioxidant profile was similar to the parent compounds. None of the compounds under study presented significant cytotoxic effects in human differentiated neuroblastoma cells. Thiophenolic amide 3 stands out as the most promising thiophenol-based antioxidant, showing cellular neuroprotective effects against oxidative stress inducers (hydrogen peroxide and iron).
Future Therapeutic Perspectives into the Alzheimer’s Disease Targeting the Oxidative Stress Hypothesis

Published: December 2019

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that is usually accompanied by aging, increasingly being the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. This disorder is characterized by the accumulation of beta amyloid plaques (Aβ) resulting from impaired amyloid precursor protein (APP) metabolism, together with the formation of neurofibrillary tangles and tau protein hyperphosphorylation. The exacerbated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) triggers the process called oxidative stress, which increases neuronal cell abnormalities, most often followed by apoptosis, leading to cognitive dysfunction and dementia. In this context, the development of new therapies for the AD treatment is necessary. Antioxidants, for instance, are promising species for prevention and treatment because they are capable of disrupting the radical chain reaction, reducing the production of ROS. These species have also proven to be adjunctive to conventional treatments making them more effective. In this sense, several recently published works have focused their attention on oxidative stress and antioxidant species. Therefore, this review seeks to show the most relevant findings of these studies.

Evaluation of a primary care-based opioid and pain review service: a mixed-methods evaluation in two GP practices in England
Authors: Scott Lauren J , Kesten Joanna M , Bache Kevin , Hickman Matthew , Campbell Rona , Pickering Anthony E , Redwood Sabi , Thomas Kyla
Published: December 2019

Background

Opioid prescribing to treat chronic non-cancer pain has rapidly increased, despite a lack of evidence for long-term safety and effectiveness. A pain review service was developed to work with patients taking opioids long-term to explore opioid use, encourage non-drug-based alternatives, and, where appropriate, support dose reduction.

Aim

To evaluate the service and its potential impact on opioid use, health and wellbeing outcomes, and quality of life (QoL).

Design and setting

Mixed-methods evaluation of a one-to-one service based in two GP practices in South Gloucestershire, England, which took place from September 2016 to December 2017.

Method

Quantitative data were collected on baseline demographics; data on opioid use, misuse, and dose, health, wellbeing, QoL, and pain and interference with life measures were collected at baseline and follow-up. Twenty-five semi-structured interviews (n= 18 service users,n= 7 service providers) explored experiences of the service including perceived impacts and benefits.

Results

Of 59 patients who were invited, 34 (57.6%) enrolled in the service. The median prescribed opioid dose reduced from 90 mg (average daily morphine equivalent; interquartile range [IQR] 60 to 240) at baseline to 72 mg (IQR 30 to 160) at follow-up (P<0.001); three service users stopped using opioids altogether. On average, service users showed improvement on most health, wellbeing, and QoL outcomes. Perceived benefits were related to wellbeing, for example, improved confidence and self-esteem, use of pain management strategies, changes in medication use, and reductions in dose.

Conclusion

The service was well received, and health and wellbeing outcomes suggest a potential benefit. Following further service development, a randomised controlled trial to test this type of care pathway is warranted.
Bibelhumanistische Anstöße in Luthers Entwicklung zum Reformator
Authors: Junghans Helmar
Published: December 2019

Durant ses études à Erfurt, Luther n’a pas seulement étudié la théologie scolastique : il a été en contact avec l’humanisme et sa critique sévère de la scolastique et de l’Église de la fin du Moyen Âge. Ce contact l’a poussé à s’intéresser aux sources de l’Antiquité (les poètes romains, la Bible et les Pères de l’Église). Luther adopta la méthode de travail humaniste, qui repoussait la logique et la métaphysique au profit des langues : il plaça au coeur de ses recherches les langues originales de la Bible, la philologie et la rhétorique. À l’aide de ces disciplines, il surmonta sa crise spirituelle, fit une série de découvertes exégétiques et parvint ainsi à sa théologie réformatrice ; en retour, cette dernière permit une réforme des études universitaires, dans un sens humaniste.
Vielgestaltigkeit und Geschlossenheit im Kirchenverständnis Martin Bucers
Authors: Greschat Martin
Published: December 2019

Les efforts déployés par Bucer pour l’unité de l’Église ne sont pas en contradiction avec son insistance sur des affirmations de foi fixées de manière dogmatique. Bucer était convaincu que les «papistes » s’excluaient eux-mêmes théologiquement, tout comme les anabaptistes et les spiritualistes : en effet, ils se séparaient des fondements de l’Église de Jésus-Christ. Selon Bucer, au sein du camp réformateur, malgré des différences théologiques, régnait un consensus sur les articles centraux de la foi. Quant aux partisans de la foi traditionnelle, on finirait par les gagner à la vraie doctrine, à condition de soutenir leurs efforts pour mettre en oeuvre des réformes.
Les sermons d’ouverture de la session annuelle du Consistoire supérieur sous le Second Empire (1854-1865)
Authors: Vogler Bernard
Published: December 2019

L’étude analyse sept sermons conservés, qui ont été prononcés lors de l’ouverture de la session annuelle du Consistoire Supérieur sous le Second Empire, entre 1854 et 1865. Les divers prédicateurs strasbourgeois, montbéliardais ou parisiens insistent sur la responsabilité des membres. Tous déplorent les divisions théologiques entre libéraux, orthodoxes et piétistes. Curieusement il n’y a que peu de références à 1’ actualité, peut-être par prudence politique, hormis l’opposition traditionnelle aux catholiques.
Naissance de l’individu abstrait et critique utilitariste de la pitié
Authors: Vincent Gilbert
Published: December 2019

L’utilitarisme se présente comme une représentation scientifique de la vie humaine qui refuse de voir dans les sentiments altruistes une source pour l’éthique et, surtout, pour la politique. Or, ce que montrent les oeuvres pionnières de Hobbes, de Mandeville et de Malthus, c’est que la théorie se veut désormais efficace et que, pour l’être, elle doit discréditer le désir d’entraide et faire passer le désintéressement pour une ruse de l’intérêt. L’utilitarisme est donc moins un symptôme qu’un puissant agent de dé-symbolisation, qui réussit à faire passer l’utile pour le chiffre de l’excellence.
L’Apocryphe de Jérémie C de Qoumrân
Authors: Dimant Devorah
Published: December 2019

L’Apocryphe de Jérémie C est le titre donné à un texte inconnu jusqu’ici, représenté par six manuscrits provenant de la grotte 4 de Qoumrân (4Q385a ; 4Q387 ; 4Q388a ; 4Q389 ; 4Q390 ; 4Q387a).

L’essentiel des fragments qui subsistent de l’Apocryphe de Jérémie C présentent plusieurs parties de ce qui paraît être un seul et même discours divin adressé au prophète Jérémie. Ce discours, à la manière des apocalypses juives contemporaines, offre un panorama de l’histoire, qui va des épisodes bibliques les plus anciens jusqu’à l’époque du second Temple, et se termine probablement avec l’ère eschatologique.
Le concept de tradition selon Ricoeur, Perspectives herméneutiques et pragmatiques
Authors: Vincent Gilbert
Published: December 2019

Dans son herméneutique, Ricoeur nous propose un concept de tradition original, pragmatique. Il s’est attaché très tôt à défendre l’idée que la tradition est pour toute pensée une condition d’orientation. Souligner, comme il l’a fait, qu’orientation implique limitation, ce n’est pas souscrire à un perspectivisme radical : toute tradition ne naît-elle pas et ne vit-elle pas de rencontres qui entraînent parfois des transformations profondes ? On prêtera une attention toute particulière, dans cette étude, au défi que représente la rencontre avec l’Extrême-Orient. Défi n’est pas impossibilité, et les traductions, déjà nombreuses, préparent la naissance d’oeuvres inédites, attestation d’un universel véritablement «concret » , concret et contingent, fragile parce que contingent.

He also deals with social problems like the incorporation of Strasbourg into France and the attempts to reunite the different confessions in Strasbourg.
La réception des traditions mystiques dans le luthéranisme du 17e siècle
Authors: Lienhard Marc
Published: December 2019

Le luthéranisme du 17e siècle a repris certaines traditions mystiques médiévales ; ce fait a reçu des interprétations diverses. La première partie de cette étude en propose quelques explications : la réédition d’auteurs mystiques médiévaux tout au long du 16e siècle, y compris dans l’espace luthérien ; une crise de la piété, dans le luthéranisme, à la fin du 16e siècle ; des prédispositions particulières du luthéranisme pour la mystique. La seconde partie présente la démarche de quelques auteurs clés (Martin Moller, Philipp Nicolai, Jean Arndt, Johann Gerhard, Heinrich Müller et Philippe Jacques Spener) et leur rapport avec les traditions mystiques.
La foi au risque du doute
Authors: Rognon Frédéric
Published: December 2019

On oppose généralement la foi au doute. Cet article veut montrer que la foi peut au contraire se nourrir du doute. À cet effet, quatre paradigmes de la tension entre foi et doute sont successivement exposés : la foi comme saut et le doute sceptique, la foi comme certitude et le doute méthodique, la foi comme croyance et le doute cathartique, la foi comme chemin et le doute existentiel. Les conséquences éthiques de ce quatrième et dernier mode de tension sont considérables. Loin de toute culpabilité liée au doute et de tout orgueil attaché à la foi, ce paradigme confère en effet à la vie chrétienne les qualités de liberté et de responsabilité.

La traduction et l’analyse des notes marginales de Martin Luther aux Sermons de Tauler présentent un double intérêt : elles offrent, d’une part, une contribution inédite à la recherche sur le thème déjà classique des relations de Luther avec la Mystique Rhénane, et, d’autre part, elles permettent de saisir sur le vif une théologie en train de se construire, celle du Réformateur.
Évolutionnisme et histoire des religions. Analyse de la philosophie de la religion de Jean-Marie Guyau (1855-1888)
Authors: Saltel Philippe
Published: December 2019

L’Irréligion de l’avenir (1887) du philosophe français Jean-Marie Guyau définit la religion comme une «explication sociologique universelle » qui devrait, dans l’avenir, disparaître, parce que son noyau même, la question de la morale, serait maintenant libre. Une telle thèse se fonde sur une histoire philosophique des religions dans laquelle le protestantisme comme phénomène prend une place importante. L’ «irréligion » , au lieu d’en être le contraire, en provient : c’est la raison pour laquelle la définition de cet état à venir de l’humanité peut être d’un si grand intérêt pour nous.

Le calendrier 4Q321 condense toutes les données du système qoumrânien, avec une année solaire exactement renouvelable, de 364 jours, où les dates retombent indéfiniment sur les mêmes jours de la semaine. Afin d’affronter victorieusement le calendrier lunaire, ce calendrier solaire prend soin d’indiquer avec la plus grande précision quelles seront, à partir du premier mercredi de l’histoire du monde (Gn 1,14-16), les dates solaires de la PLEINE LUNE (PL), et, d’une manière aussi précise, celles de la PLUS JEUNE LUNE (PJL), surnommée duqah (ce qui veut dire «précise, mais difficile à observer » ). On découvre ici un système où le constat observable d’une constante arithmétique entre ces deux phases de la Lune installe ce calendrier liturgique dans un cadre cosmographique auto-régulateur.

Published: December 2019

Neste artigo analisamos de que modo, em um contexto escolar de muitas adversidades, se constroem alianças e pactos entre professores e alunos frente à demanda dos objetivos institucionais da escola. Interrogamos quais seriam as apostas que uma professora e um grupo de estudantes fazem no sentido de alterar o quadro de apatia e inércia frente a um cotidiano escolar que frustra as expectativas e os conduz a simplesmente se adaptarem a um contexto que parece sem solução. Propomos pensar a mediação da transmissão como um dispositivo para a reinvenção do laço entre professores e alunos. O estudo busca analisar estas questões a partir de um enfoque no microcosmo da sala de aula em uma escola pública do Rio de Janeiro após um longo tempo de imersão na escola que possibilitou a intervenção das pesquisadoras em uma disciplina ofertada ao longo de um semestre, em uma parceria colaborativa entre a professora, pesquisadoras e alunos.

IMPACT OF THE GOVERNMENT DEBT ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF COUNTRY
Authors: MARSHALOK Taras , MOROZ Ivanna
Published: December 2019

Introduction. An increase in public debt may have a negative, neutral or positive impact on the country's economic development. A big loan does not mean big growth; it all depends on how the public money is spent. The same amount of money spent by governments from dif­ferent countries has a different meaning for domestic development and the dynamics of public debt. The reasons are differences in the size of GDP, the structure of government borrowings, the shadow economy. Purpose. The objective of this paper is to deepen the theoretical backgrounds and applied aspects of influence of the public debt on the economic development of the country. Methods. In the research process, a set of research methods and approaches were used: systemic, structural-functional, comparisons and others. Results. The problem of a high level of public debt is acute in many countries throughout the world, including Ukraine. Nobody can say for sure whether a high public debt holds back the country's economic development. Theoretically, economically weaker countries, having regard to the financial constraints and economic needs, should have a higher level of public debt in relation to GDP than countries with high levels of development. However, comparing the data on the ratio of public debt and GDP in the EU, it can be noted the following: the higher indicators in the more developed countries of the EU. The latter, in fact, are the largest lenders of the world economy and at the same time have the largest volumes of the public debt both in absolute terms and in relation to GDP. As a result of the unsatisfactory financial state of the public sector, household saving goes to the repayment of the higher-level commitments, and not for the financing of the development of companies. This is especially problematic if we look at the situation of future generations – they will have less capital at their disposal. Public debt is a reduction in future revenues; hence, it is an intergenerational problem. Conclusions. It is possible to make proposals that will have a significant impact on the growth of the economy and the reduction of the public debt: – internal borrowing but not the external loans are economically justified. In this case, the debts do not increase the money base and the turnover of funds is carried out within the state; – entrepreneurship requires the systematic and consistent support that will stimulate the economic development, which needs stable business conditions in the long run.
FINANCIAL EQUALIZATION IN THE CONTEXT OF DECENTRALIZATION REFORM OF POWER: PROBLEMS AND PERSPECTIVES
Authors: BENOVSKA Liliya
Published: December 2019

Introduction. With the conduction of the reform of decentralization of power in Ukraine in the model of financial equalization, the emphasis is placed on aligning budgets on incomes with the use of separate equalization tools by expenditures. The introduction of the new alignment system involves a number of problems.

Purpose. Solving the problems of financial equalization in Ukraine in the conditions of modern reforms and finding the ways of its improvement.

Results. The investigation of features and instruments of financial equalization in the context of conducting modern reforms in Ukraine has made it possible to identify issues that do not contribute to the reduction of vertical and horizontal budget imbalances, but also increase them.

The main problems of financial equalization of local budgets are allocated, namely: inconsistency of incomes with expenditure powers of local budgets; instability of local budget revenues over time due to frequent changes in tax and budget laws of the state; violation of the transparency of transfer of transfers; a lack of clear separation of expenditure powers between the levels of government and others.

The modernization of the modern equalization system should be aimed at creating equal financial opportunities for the sustainable development of individual territories and the country as a whole, providing macroeconomic stability and economic growth, promoting the improvement of quality of public services and their compliance with the developed state standards.

Conclusions. There are proposed the directions of perfection of the modern system of financial equalization in the part of changes in the procedure for enrollment of personal income tax to local budgets by the place of residence of the person, and not by the place of employment; changes in the approaches of calculating the index of tax capacity; a reasoning of the necessity of development and approval of new state service standards for the social sectors.

Authors: Kaklotar Anita
Published: December 2019

Breast cancer is the primary and the most common disease found among women. Today, mammography is the most
powerful screening technique used for early detection of cancer which increases the chance of successful treatment. In
order to correctly detect the mammogram images as being cancerous or malignant, there is a need of a classier. With this objective, an attempt is
made to analyze different feature extraction techniques and classiers. In the proposed system we rst do the preprocessing of the mammogram
images, where the unwanted noise and disturbances in the mammograms are removed. Features are then extracted from the mammogram images
using Gray Level Co-Occurrences Matrix (GLCM) and Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT). Finally, the features are classied using
classiers like HiCARe (Classier based on High Condence Association Rule Agreements), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes
classier and K-NN Classier. Further we test the images and classify them as benign or malignant class.

THE EFFECT OF MICRO-FINANCE ON THE EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN AND ITS SOCIETAL CONSEQUENCES: A STUDY OF WOMEN SELF-HELP GROUPS MEMBERS IN TAMIL NADU
Authors: Rukmani K.
Published: December 2019

This paper have been discussed on Empowerment of Women in India covering variety of problems and issues, micro,
macro and regional levels, and almost all general aspects of related to women empowerment have been studies by social
sciences. Micro-nance has emerged as a powerful tool for women empowerment in the new economy. In India, micronance distribution is
mainly dominated by Self Help Groups (SHGs). It aims at providing a cost effective mechanism for providing nancial services to the poor
section of the society. As apparent from the preceding detailed discussion on the existing literature on the empowerment of women at different
levels in India, attempts made so far suffer discerningly although with the following signicant limitations: (i) All the studies reveals a
predominant bias of being macro level studies. Such studies by their very nature do not touch the core of reality, since it is not possible to know
from the inner base of the mountain, the problem. The correct approach necessary is to dissect the problem into small pieces and then make an
intensive effort to assess the reality; (ii) in the present development context in India; rapid changes are taking place on the economic scene, which
bring in their trail, far reaching changes in the social, cultural, and political aspects of life. Therefore, even though a number of micro-studies
existing, initiating of a new study in this area would have undiluted importance as such an attempt is bound to throw up several new facts in any
empirical exercise having a bearing on policy issues. Thus, on its own, the necessity of a new micro study remains evergreen.
