What Drives the Usage of Management Tools Supporting Industry 4.0 in Organizations?
Authors: Nedelko Zlatko
Published: May 2021

The main purpose of this study was to examine how personal and organizational drivers influence the utilization of management tools aimed at supporting organizational working in Industry 4.0 settings. We built our research upon the recognized importance of management tools for organizational working under Industry 4.0 settings and explored the key personal and organizational drivers of management tool usage. Calculations were performed based on the responses of 222 employees working in organizations across Europe. The results revealed that, among personal drivers, a higher level of education leads to significantly higher usage of six sigma, rapid prototyping, outsourcing, customer relationship management, knowledge management, core competencies, and strategic planning. More experienced employees use significantly more six sigma, total quality management, supply chain management, knowledge management, and core competences than their less experienced peers. The impact of organizational drivers is substantially weaker, where only industry shows significant influence, indicating that lean production, six sigma, and supply chain management are used more in manufacturing than in service organizations. Gender, one’s position in the organization, and the organization size do not play a substantial role in management tool usage. Managers should recognize the role of personal and organizational drivers of management tool usage in order to more quickly implement Industry 4.0 principles in organizations.

Authors: Jo Hongju , Han Junghun , Kim Yoon Suk , Lee Yongheum , Yang Sejung
Published: May 2021

Cell migration plays an important role in the identification of various diseases and physiological phenomena in living organisms, such as cancer metastasis, nerve development, immune function, wound healing, and embryo formulation and development. The study of cell migration with a real-time microscope generally takes several hours and involves analysis of the movement characteristics by tracking the positions of cells at each time interval in the images of the observed cells. Morphological analysis considers the shapes of the cells, and a phase contrast microscope is used to observe the shape clearly. Therefore, we developed a segmentation and tracking method to perform a kinetic analysis by considering the morphological transformation of cells. The main features of the algorithm are noise reduction using a block-matching 3D filtering method, k-means clustering to mitigate the halo signal that interferes with cell segmentation, and the detection of cell boundaries via active contours, which is an excellent way to detect boundaries. The reliability of the algorithm developed in this study was verified using a comparison with the manual tracking results. In addition, the segmentation results were compared to our method with unsupervised state-of-the-art methods to verify the proposed segmentation process. As a result of the study, the proposed method had a lower error of less than 40% compared to the conventional active contour method.
Representativeness of Czech In-Depth Accident Data

Published: May 2021

Road accident occurrence is often the result of driving system malfunctions, and road safety improvements need to focus on all basic driving components—the vehicle, road infrastructure, and road users. Only focusing on one type of improvement does not necessarily lead to increased road safety. Instead, improved road safety requires comprehensive measures that consider all factors using in-depth accident analysis. The proposed measures, based on the findings from in-depth data that have general applicability, are necessary to determine whether data gained from in-depth studies adequately represent national statistics. This article aims to verify the representativeness of the Czech In-Depth Accident Study at a national level. The main contribution of this article lies in the use of a weighting method (specifically, a raking procedure) to generalise research results and render them applicable to a whole population. The obtained results could be beneficial at the national level, in the Czech Republic, and also on the supranational level. The applicability of this method on accident data is verified; thus, the method can be applied also in other countries or can be used to verify the applicability of conclusions from the Czech in-depth study also on a European or worldwide level.

Authors: Wu Qiong , Tambunlertchai Kanittha , Pornchaiwiseskul Pongsa
Published: May 2021

As China has an important role in global climate change, the Chinese government has set goals to improve its environmental efficiency and performance and launched carbon emission trading pilot markets in 2013, aiming to reduce CO2 emissions. Based on panel data of 30 provinces from 2005 to 2017, this paper uses the difference-in-difference method to study the impact of China’s carbon emission trading pilot markets on carbon emissions and regional green development. The paper also explores possible influencing channels. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) China’s carbon emission trading policy has promoted a reduction in CO2 emissions and carbon emission intensity and has increased green development in the pilot areas. (2) The main path for China’s carbon emission trading policy to achieve carbon emission reduction and regional green development is to promote technology adoption. (3) China’s carbon emission trading policy achieves green development through synergistic SO2 emission reduction. The pilot carbon markets have reduced both the amount of SO2 emissions and SO2 emission intensity.

Published: May 2021

Background

Acute gastroenteritis is a common childhood condition with substantial medical and indirect costs, mostly because of referral, hospitalisation, and parental absence from work.

Aim

To determine the cost-effectiveness of adding oral ondansetron to care as usual (CAU) for children with acute gastroenteritis presenting to out-of-hours primary care (OOH-PC).

Design and setting

A pragmatic randomised controlled trial from December 2015 to January 2018, at three OOHPC centres in the north of the Netherlands (Groningen, Zwolle, and Assen) with a follow-up of 7 days.

Method

Children were recruited at the OOH-PC and parents kept a parental diary. Inclusion criteria were: aged 6 months–6 years; diagnosis of acute gastroenteritis; at least four reported episodes of vomiting 24 hours before presentation, at least one of which was in the 4 hours before presentation; and written informed consent from both parents. Children were randomly allocated at a 1:1 ratio to either CAU (oral rehydration therapy) or CAU plus one dose of 0.1 mg/kg oral ondansetron.

Results

In total, 194 children were included for randomisation. One dose of oral ondansetron decreased the proportion of children who continued vomiting within the first 4 hours from 42.9% to 19.5%, (a decrease of 54.5%), with an odds ratio of 0.4 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.2 to 0.7; number needed to treat: four). Total mean costs in the ondansetron group were 31.2% lower (€488 [£420] versus €709 [£610]), and the total incremental mean costs for an additional child free of vomiting in the first 4 hours was −€9 (£8) (95% CI = −€41 [£35] to €3 [£3]).

Conclusion

A single oral dose of ondansetron for children with acute gastroenteritis, given in OOH-PC settings, is both clinically beneficial and cost-effective.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer assessment in primary care: a qualitative study of GP views
Authors: Archer Stephanie , Calanzani Natalia , Honey Stephanie , Johnson Margaret , Neal Richard , Scott Suzanne E , Walter Fiona M
Published: May 2021

Background

Early diagnosis is key to improve cancer outcomes, and most cancers are diagnosed in primary care after initial symptomatic presentation. Emerging evidence suggests an increase in avoidable cancer deaths owing to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Aim

To understand GPs’ views on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the clinical assessment of possible cancer.

Design & setting

A qualitative semi-structured interview study with GPs from the East of England.

Method

GPs were purposively sampled based on age, sex, and years of experience. Interviews were conducted via Zoom or Microsoft Teams in August and September 2020. Transcribed recordings were analysed inductively using thematic analysis. The Model of Pathways to Treatment guided the analysis.

Results

Three themes were identified across 23 interviews on GP views on the impact of: (1) changes in patient help-seeking behaviour on symptoms at presentation; (2) remote consultations on managing patients with possible cancer symptoms; and (3) the COVID-19 pandemic on triaging and referring patients with possible cancer. There were positive changes to practice, but concerns were raised about the adequacy of remote consultations for assessing symptoms. Some GPs reported delayed cancer diagnoses, and uncertainty about how backlog in referrals would be managed.

Conclusion

This study provides new evidence on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on assessing symptomatic patients. Recommendations are made to inform safe and effective primary care clinical practice. Urgent action is needed to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and ensure appropriate symptomatic assessment now and in the future.

Authors: Chuev K. , Duyun I.
Published: May 2021

The article presents a method for modeling the kinematic and dynamic parameters of the robot manipulator model KUKA KR 6 R900-2. The simulation is performed using a virtual prototype of a robot designed in the KOMPAS 3-D computer-aided design system and exported to the MSC Adams software package. The prototype of the robot is represented by idealized parts corresponding to the real links of the structure. The joints of the links are implemented by articulated joints. Various options of the robot working out a given trajectory of movement with varying the angular velocity of its turns and the applied load of the potential load are investigated: the maximum speed at the maximum weight of the load, the nominal speed at the nominal weight of the load and the minimum speed at the minimum weight of the load. The specified trajectory of movement is divided into separate stages, a certain set of workloads is applied during the simulation in each. The simulation is carried out in a three-coordinate space. The result of the simulation is kinematic parameters, such as movement, speed, acceleration, and dynamic parameters – moments in the robot's joints. The obtained results allow to perform a comparative analysis of the operating loads at different stages of the trajectory, to identify unfavorable conditions, such as critical peak values of accelerations and emerging moments of forces

Respuestas celulares a K107del, una mutante natural de apolipoproteína A-I humana con incrementado riesgo aterogénico
Authors:   , Díaz Ludovico Ivo
Published: May 2021

En este trabajo de Tesis se realizó la investigación exhaustiva de la mutante denominada K107del, una variante natural de apolipoproteína A-I (apoA-I) con una única deleción de la lisina en la posición 107 mediante espectrometría de masas, proteómica comparativa, y diversos estudios de interacción proteína/lípido. La apoA-I es la proteína mayoritaria de las lipoproteínas de alta densidad (HDL), aunque también se encuentra en las lipoproteínas de baja densidad (LDL), y quilomicrones (CMs). Entre sus diversas funciones la principal y mejor descripta es su rol en el transporte reverso del colesterol, proceso clave para la prevención de la aterosclerosis. Desde su descubrimiento, la K107del se asoció con la predisposición a desarrollar diversas patologías en sus portadores tales como aterosclerosis temprana y severa, hipertrigliceridemia y amiloidosis. Sin embargo, hasta hoy son desconocidas las causas moleculares que generan su efecto fisiopatológico. El objetivo de este trabajo fue examinar los potenciales defectos funcionales y/o estructurales que podrían explicar la aparente disfunción de esta variante. Se caracterizó entonces a la K107del utilizando diversos métodos biofísicos y biológicos, analizando los aspectos estructurales de esta variante tanto como su función celular y su capacidad de interacción con lípidos. Para ello se realizaron experimentos de proteómica comparativa sin marca radiactiva y experimentos con lípidos modelo; asimismo se llevaron a cabo análisis estructurales utilizando el agente entrecruzante BS3, seguido de análisis por espectrometría de masas, complementados por técnicas de fluorescencia. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que no existen diferencias significativas entre K107del y Wt en su capacidad para interaccionar con lípidos. Tampoco se observaron diferencias significativas en la capacidad de estas proteínas de modificar los niveles de expresión de proteínas celulares. Sin embargo, la K107del presenta una estructura terciaria diferente de la Wt y una menor tendencia a oligomerizar en su estado libre de lípidos. También se demostró en este trabajo, que la incubación de macrófagos humanos THP-1 con la Wt, resulta en la acumulación de la proteína multifuncional sequestosoma-1/p62 de manera dependiente de la vía antioxidante del factor nuclear eritroide-2 (vía Nrf2-Keap1). Sin embargo, aunque la incubación con K107del también resultó en la acumulación de p62, ésta lo hizo de manera independiente a la vía Nrf2. Los hallazgos presentados en esta Tesis permiten concluir que los efectos patológicos observados para la variante K107del podrían ser explicados probablemente por su conformación tridimensional alterada, tanto como su incapacidad para oligomerizar y/o su posible respuesta celular diferenciada, comparativamente a la Wt.

LEGISLATIVE MODEL FOR THE SECURITY OF INTERROGATION BAN AS A WITNESS IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS
Authors: Muratova N.G.
Published: May 2021

The author examines the legal regulation of the legislative regulation of the prohibition of interrogation as a witness, which has been increasingly strengthening over the past five years. The list of persons who cannot be interrogated as a witness in criminal cases is steadily expanding. The genesis of the safety of witness testimony lies in the ancient democratic norms of domestic and foreign legislation. Can we say that this is related to the institution of witness immunity, or is it a slightly different idea of the legislator? The author, on the basis of a historical and legal analysis of legal acts, substantiates the opinion about the idea of safety of prohibition of interrogation as a witness as a fundamental mechanism for the implementation of the constitutional right to state protection and the right to a legislative list of cases of exemption from the obligation to testify. The study offers a cross-sectoral analysis of the circumstances that are the criteria for prohibiting interrogation as a witness in criminal cases. A legislative model of procedural security procedures for the prohibition of interrogation as a witness is proposed.

Stoichiometric imbalances in Mg-implanted GaN
Authors: Herbert Kai C. , Shibata Kazuki , Asubar Joel T. , Kuzuhara Masaaki
Published: May 2021

Using numerical integration of the Boltzmann transport equation, depth distributions of recoil-implanted Ga and N atoms in Mg-implanted GaN are studied. Mg implantation into GaN is found to produce significant nonuniform stoichiometric distribution as a consequence of the recoil process, as compared to other III–V materials of GaP, GaAs and GaSb. Our calculation also indicates that the stoichiometric imbalance introduced by Mg implantation in GaN is insensitive to the changes in the implanted ion energy and the atom density of the target material. These results suggest that stoichiometric imbalance may be one of the principal reasons why the electrical activation of implanted Mg acceptors in GaN is rather difficult as compared to that in other III–V semiconductors.

Published: May 2021

The presented study aims to identify priority directions for national policy in the context of the digitalization of the economy at the federal level. Tasks. The authors analyze program directions of the national project "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation" and determine their strategic objectives; identify products and services aimed at improving the human resources aspect of the digitalization of the economy.

Methods. This study uses general scientific methods, such as analysis, generalization, and classification. Analysis of program documents allows the authors to identify the main strategic objectives of each federal project implemented within the framework of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation".

Results. The analysis of implementation of federal projects during the digitalization of the economy in Russia makes it obvious that it is important to make allowance for the level of professional training in the field of digital technologies. Programs of educational institutions are often disconnected from the needs of the real sector of the digital economy. It is no coincidence that competencies of personnel in the field of the digital economy need to be developed. This problem is specifically addressed in the federal project "Human Resources for the Digital Economy".

Conclusions. The relevance of digital technologies in various fields is obvious, and economic activity is no exception. Technological development is the starting point of the national program "Digital Economy of the Russian Federation", which covers the time range between 2019 and 2024. One of its objectives is to monitor the development of the digital economy in the country. It also affects such areas as the establishment of businesses in this field, the e-commerce market, human resources, quantum technologies, etc. The government must successfully tackle the current challenges or risk becoming non-competitive compared to other countries. It is advisable to pay increased attention to human resources. In particular, it is necessary to create a register of training programs (bachelor's and master's degrees), that should be adopted by the leading Russian universities.

As a result of Palearctic climate warming and humidification and under the influence of anthropogenic factors, foci of a new transmissible arboviral zoonosis – West Nile fever (WNF) – have been formed in the Saratov region. On the territory of Russia, the circulation of the West Nile virus (WNV) has been recorded since 1963, and cases of human infection have been detected since 1967. In the studied region, the circulation of the virus has been known since the mid-90s of the last century, and epidemic complications – since 2012. 142 cases of the disease were reported in 2012–2020. The ecological prerequisites for a wide circulation of WNV are associated with the increase in the number of birds – carriers, and arthropods – blood-sucking vectors, the longer activity period of mosquitoes and ticks owing to the reduced frosty season of the year. As a result of landscape mapping with the use of modern methods for decoding images of satellite maps and remote sensing of the Earth (ERS), data have been obtained that served as the basis for epidemiological WNF zoning. There are three types of potential WNF foci on the territory of the region, namely: natural, natural-anthropourgic, and anthropourgic ones. The total area of biocenoses has been established, where natural, natural-anthropourgic and anthropourgic WNF foci could be formed: 6619.94 km2, 1484.62 km2, and 70.4 km2, respectively. Cluster analysis of the environmental conditions in 38 administrative districts of the region has distinguished four groups differing in the risk level of infection of the population with West Nile fever. The data obtained are used for planning, substantiating and conducting surveys and preventive measures, and form the basis for predicting the epidemiological situation in the region.

Authors: Zelenskiy Andrii , Krysinska Diana
Published: May 2021

The article reveals the theoretical foundations of the system of financial and economic regulation of agricultural production, based on domestic practice and best foreign practices. Various author's approaches to the structuring of the components of financial and economic regulation of agricultural enterprises are considered. It is established that improving the efficiency of support for national agricultural producers depends on the rate of real economic growth, which, on the one hand, will increase the state's ability to subsidize agricultural enterprises, and on the other - increase domestic sources of investment in agricultural projects.

Сорт залишається головним резервом ресурсозбереження та інтенсифікації агропромислового виробництва в України. Розробка моделі сорту є одним із способів адаптивної спрямованості селекції. Основні параметри моделі дуже скоростиглого сорту (Авантюрин, Аквамарин, Аннушка) сої напряму залежать від погодних умов середовища. Аналізували такі кількісні ознаки (2013–2018 рр.): висота рослини, висота прикріплення нижнього бобу, кількість гілок, кількість вузлів, кількість бобів із рослини, кількість насінин із рослини, маса насінин із рослини, маса 1000 насінин. За результатами побудови графічної моделі продуктивності сорту даної групи стиглості встановлено, що головні параметри ознак обумовлені біологічними особливостями конкретного сорту. Загалом варіабельність ознаки визначається реакцією генотипу на зміну умов вирощування та погодних умов року.

Вібраційні бункерні живильники з електромагнітним приводом в наш час незамінні при автоматизації виробничих процесів у машинобудуванні та приладобудуванні. Вони застосовуються для завантаження дрібних, середніх, або мініатюрних деталей до автоматизованого технологічного обладнання. Найбільше розповсюдження вібраційні бункерні завантажувальні пристрої отримали для транспортування та завантаження деталей на робочі позиції складальних автоматів. В цьому випадку деталі мають бути подані у чітко зорієнтованому стані. Для цього використовують орієнтуючі пристрої, що розташовані безпосередньо на робочих органах віброживильників. Дуже часто у цих пристроях використовується стиснене повітря низького тиску [1], що підводиться за допомогою гнучкого трубопроводу від цехової пневматичної мережі. Але, відсутність пневматичної мережі в багатьох цехах підприємств призводить до неможливості використання таких віброживильників, тобто до зменшення сфери їх застосування. Для розширення сфери їх використання необхідно мати віброживильники з індивідуальним джерелом стисненого повітря низького тиску.

Published: May 2021

21-ше сторіччя в перекладознавстві ознаменувалося появою нових фокусів в науково-дослідних розвідках, серед яких можемо виділити й вивчення ідеологічних факторів перекладу як форми міжкультурної комунікації. Ця стаття є спробою дослідити особливості відтворення ідеологічних параметрів тексту оригіналу в українсько-англійськомовному перекладі мас-медійного тексту. Залучення методологічного апарату критичного дискурс-аналізу на розкриття утворення та відтворення ідеологій в тексті може окреслити значні перспективи для розвитку ідеологічного напрямку в українському перекладознавстві.

Authors: Nykyporets Svitlana , Hadaichuk Nataliia
Published: May 2021

The article contains a comparative analysis of PPP and TBLT approaches to the foreign language learning including the detailed description of the main stages of teaching and lessons planning in the framework of each approach; the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches are also considered in the article. It is also emphasized that using TBLT approach in groups of students from non-linguistic universities with a low level of foreign language proficiency (A2) is rather difficult. In such situations authors recommend considering the traditional PPP method, which allows practicing and fixing the necessary speech patterns.
