The identity of the largest enterprises located in Poland and communication of corporate social activities on corporate websites
Authors: Seiler Bartosz , Bortnowska Hanna
Published: December 2019

Today’s enterprises are becoming more and more socially active. In some respects, they are starting to resemble third-sector organizations. In the context of progressive isomorphism, the issue of organizational identity deserves attention. Identity is based, among others, on organizational mission and values, whose management requires the shaping of coherent links between these components, as well as actual efforts and their communication. Modern enterprises are markedly fond of using electronic media, including corporate websites, to communicate with the audience. The purpose of the article is to determine the prevalence of different types of missions and values among the largest enterprises located in Poland, especially those related to CSR, as well as to identify the relationship between their declared CSR missions and values and the presentation of selected corporate social activities on their corporate websites. It was found that two-thirds of the analyzed companies posted missions on their corporate websites. In most cases they declared focus on costumers, and less often - product superiority, innovation, or responsibility. Less than half of the companies presented organizational values through their websites. Those which prevailed are: professional, ethical, relational, and describing attitudes towards the environment. The analysis shows that every second analyzed company presented missions and values that referred to issues related to social responsibility. Enterprises that included references to responsibility towards the environment in their mission communicated only some of the corporate social activities. It was different in the case of enterprises which pointed to the importance of societal values among the declared values. Such organizations more often pursued CSR activities and communicated them. Therefore, it can be conclude that a better predictor of the effects of identity management in the area of CSR was the declaration of values related to social responsibility.
Analysis of determinants of the inflow of foreign direct investment to Poland. Part I – theoretical considerations
Authors: Wyrwa Joanna
Published: December 2019

This study contains an analysis of the main determinants of the inflow of foreign direct investment to Poland. This article is the first of the two parts of the cycle and covers theoretical considerations regarding the determinants of foreign direct investment, serving as the introduction to the second, empirical part, in which the research results will be discussed. This study focused on determining the cause-and-effect relationship between the scale of inflow of foreign direct investment and selected macroeconomic parameters of the economy. Based on the theories and results from previous research, a model was developed in which the variables and the nature of their relationship were determined. The model is based on four latent exogenous variables describing FDI determinants and one latent endogenous variable describing FDI inflow. In the article, structural equation modeling was indicated as a method for analyzing the factors conditioning the inflow of foreign direct investment. The proposed research concept will allow supplementing and extending the analysis of FDI determinants in Poland.
Quo vadis Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union?
Authors: Stępień Sebastian , Czyżewski Andrzej
Published: December 2019

The agricultural policy of the European Union - Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) - was introduced in the 1960s as the first EU policy. Over the next decades it constituted the largest share in the expenditure of the EU budget. Today, although cohesion policy has replaced it in the first place, it is still being prioritized by the countries of the Community. Observation of the next financial perspectives, however, allows to conclude that the nature of the CAP is changing, which is a manifestation of the evolution of views on the role of the food sector in the economic development of the European Union. The aim of the study is to indicate the directions of reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy during its sixty-year functioning, the reasons for these changes and the consequences they have had for the agricultural sector in EU countries. These outcomes were supplemented by outlining the perspectives for the development of the EU agricultural policy in the coming years. The authors focused on the basic instruments of the CAP including income-generating, environmental and rural development-related. On the basis of the analysis of objectives and instruments of the CAP, it was stated that it departed from traditional market support to create more sophisticated intervention related to the changing macroeconomic conditions and expectations of the society. The paper is a review, with elements of meta-analysis, deduction and inductive reasoning.
LANGUAGE AND CULTURE IN PHASEOLOGICAL UNITS RELATED TO PROFESSION NAMES: TRADITIONS AND VALUES
Authors: Guseva I. V.
Published: December 2019

The article is dedicated to the investigation of the phraseological expressions in the Spanish language that contain names of profession or trade. Idiomatic expressions are combinations of words that present greater difficulty in the process of learning a second language and in intercultural communication in general. Spanish phraseological units include several names of professions (barber, apothecary, coal, butcher, carpenter, carter, hunter, cook, etc.) and religious occupations (abbot, canon, chaplain, priest, friar, monk, bishop, parish priest, sacristan). We have focused our research on 40 paremias related to the occupations of priest and friar. Based on the analysis of semantic aspects and the cognitive interpretation of phraseological units, we have defined their denotative characteristics, stylistic, expressive and historicalcultural connotations. The study reveals the obvious anticlericalism of Spanish sayings and proverbs and exposes possible causes of the negative connotations developed in phraseology.
COGNITIVE MODELLING OF CONCEPTS “CONFLICT” AND “CRISIS” FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF THEIR INTERACTION IN ENGLISH ECONOMIC MEDIA DISCOURSE
Authors: Tremaskina O. A.
Published: December 2019

The article deals with the interaction between the “conflict” and “crisis” event concepts in the cognitive modelling process. The developed modelling procedure is focused on the analysis of “conflict” and “crisis” lexical units represented in the lexicographic sources and economic media texts’ fragments of “The Financial Times” dated 2018. According to the main trend expounded by Russian and foreign researchers, the cognitive modelling scheme is based on a conceptual analysis. The “conflict” and “crisis” concepts’ verbal representations reflect their referential properties in the economic media text in accordance with its covered topic. The “conflict” and “crisis” cognitive models are specified through the structure of the concepts by means of cognitive criterion located in its core, close and far periphery. The study of economic media texts suggests that lexical units with negative connotations are the explicit identifiers of the “conflict” and “crisis” concepts. It is stated that the “conflict” and “crisis” concepts’ interaction is characterised by the whole range of parameters. In media texts the content of the concept “conflict” narrows to the trade wars. The concept “crisis” acquires the common meaning of the lexical unit “crisis”. The article is addressed to linguists interested in the cognitive language research.
STRUCTURAL AND SEMANTIC PARTICULARITIES OF TRANSLATION EQUIVALENTS OF FOREIGN TERMS DENOTING FOOTBALLERS’ ROLES TO PLAY ON THE FIELD IN RUSSIAN AND PORTUGUESE
Authors: Voronova A. G.
Published: December 2019

The fixed meaning and the variability of symbolic language codes changing principle is inapplicable when translating certain football terms to denote footballers’ roles to play on the field. These social media football terms are not yet enshrined in English dictionaries; what is more, these terms tend to change their original meaning when translated from English into Portuguese and Russian. The reluctance of the target languages to accept the given football terms leads to the use of Russian and Portuguese local traditional football terminology instead. Therefore, as distinct from the original, this terminology lacks semantic precision, leading to distortion and further confusion. With regard to structure and meaning, the Russian language has two translation patterns to render the meaning of the given football terms. These are neutral word collocations which narrow down the given English terms and professional football jargon which can be compared to the meaning of the term as enshrined in the English-English dictionary entry. Conversely, the Portuguese language has only one pattern to translate the given terms, i.e. neutral football terms that also distort the original meaning of the terms in English. Surprisingly, this distortion is different from the one in the Russian translations of them. The disparity in meaning caused by artificially adapted terms denoting footballers’ roles to play on the field in the way they exist in the target languages of translation is apparent when translating the terms from one target language to the other. The pattern leads to distortion in translation and consequent communication failure. Such a shortcoming can be avoided if all the four dimensions of such football terms are taken into consideration. The latter include player location, function, role to play on the field and personality. The research findings may have practical application for students of Russian and Portuguese as well as interpreters and translators.

O estudo das relações de gênero tem sido incorporado à investigação arqueológica, resultando em pesquisas menos ligadas a suposições ocidentais e mais sensíveis às variações culturais. Sobre o sítio Furna do Estrago, inúmeras pesquisas foram desenvolvidas e essas informações possibilitaram um vasto conhecimento acerca da ritualidade funerária e biologia dessa população, permitindo assim a realização deste trabalho, cujo objetivo foi a identificação de elementos culturais que permitissem fazer inferências sobre relações de gênero. Os resultados da análise sugerem elementos indicadores de gênero.
Calibração de datas radiocarbônicas em sítios costeiros
Authors: Scheel-Ybert Rita
Published: December 2019

Sambaquis são provavelmente os sítios arqueológicos mais intensamente estudados e mais datados no Brasil, no entanto, muitas incertezas ainda subsistem na interpretação das cronologias estabelecidas. Datações realizadas sobre conchas, carvões e ossos humanos não são diretamente comparáveis. Por isso, é fundamental que os resultados das datações realizadas sejam adequadamente calibrados, considerando-se as curvas de calibração apropriadas e dados de efeito reservatório locais, quando aplicável. Ressalta-se que ossos humanos também são sujeitos a efeito reservatório e que, em consequência, os resultados da calibração das datas deles oriundas podem ter uma incerteza maior do que no caso de conchas e carvões.

Published: December 2019

Os primeiros estudos microarqueobotânicos, ainda que não fossem conhecidos por esse nome, remontam ao início do século XX. No entanto, a análise de fitólitos e grãos de amido recuperados de contextos arqueológicos no Brasil só começou a tomar forma há pouco mais de uma década, e ainda são poucos os grupos de pesquisa que estudam esses microvestígios no país. O Museu Nacional/UFRJ congrega um dos grupos pioneiros na área. Neste artigo é apresentado um breve histórico da disciplina no país e um pouco da trajetória dessa linha de pesquisa no Museu Nacional, incluindo os resultados preliminares de dois projetos recentes.

New Feature Selection Method for Multi-channel EEG Epileptic Spike Detection System
Authors: Anh Dao Nguyen Thi , Thanh Le Trung , Nguyen Viet-Dung , Linh-Trung Nguyen , Le Ha Vu
Published: December 2019

Epilepsy is one of the most common and severe brain disorders. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is widely used in epilepsy diagnosis and treatment, with it the epileptic spikes can be observed. Tensor decomposition-based feature extraction has been proposed to facilitate automatic detection of EEG epileptic spikes. However, tensor decomposition may still result in a large number of features which are considered negligible in determining expected output performance. We proposed a new feature selection method that combines the Fisher score and p-value feature selection methods to rank the features by using the longest common sequences (LCS) to separate epileptic and non-epileptic spikes. The proposed method significantly outperformed several state-of-the-art feature selection methods.
Design and Simulation of a DC Stabilization System for Solar Energy System
Authors: Huong Pham Thi Viet , Duy Mac Khuong , Vu Tran Anh , Viet Dang Anh , Pham Minh - Trien
Published: December 2019

During the last few years, the demand for solar photovoltaic (PV) energy has grown remarkably since it provides electricity from an exhaustible and clean energy source. The generated power of solar panels depends on environment conditions, which changes continuously due to many factors, for example, the radiation, the characteristics of the load, etc. In order for the solar energy system operates at its most efficiency, it needs to work at its maximum power point (MPP). Previous literature has dealt with either investigating Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithms or tracking a steady output voltage from solar panels. However, when the load is changed, the new MPP need to be defined. In this paper, a novel adaptive MPPT system was proposed to investigate the MPP and keep tracking MPP at the same time. The proposed system was implemented in Proteus simulation. As the results, when the load is changing, the system obtained a steady and reliable desired output voltage. It is not only able to obtain a reliable steady DC output voltage but also keep the solar energy system work at its maximum efficiency.

Authors: Weiduschadt Patrícia , Castro Renata Brião de , Teixeira Vanessa Barrozo
Published: December 2019

O objetivo deste artigo é discutir a preservação de documentos relacionados à imigração italiana e ale- mã. Assim, abordam-se duas instituições de salvaguarda de acervos arquivísticos. Para isso, utiliza-se a teoria sobre arquivos, acervos e espaços de memória. Considera-se que a preservação de documentos, nesses espaços contribui para compreender aspectos histórico-culturais dos grupos étnicos. Os acervos pesquisados são o Instituto Histórico da Igreja Evangélica Luterana do Brasil (IELB) e o Arquivo Histórico do Rio Grande do Sul, ambos situados na capital do estado, Porto Alegre. No primeiro, foram pesquisadas revistas e materiais editados pela própria instituição. O foco recaiu em aspectos da escolarização orientada pela igreja luterana. No segundo arquivo, foram consultados documentos referentes à imigração italiana, sobretudo no município de Pelotas (RS). Esses documentos auxiliam a compreender a imigração italiana no Rio Grande do Sul e fornecem um contexto importante para pensar as instituições educativas organizadas e mantidas pelo grupo étnico dos italianos.
Terrorismo e subversão: o discurso dos diplomatas franceses sobre a violência na Argentina (1974-1976)
Authors: Chevauché Sylvain
Published: December 2019

As palavras usadas por um importante setor da opinião pública e por observadores estrangeiros para comentar a situação argentina não têm nada a ver com aquelas usadas hoje, após várias décadas de reconstituição histórica e políticas de memória em torno do terrorismo de Estado. Os anos 1974-1976 são fundamentais para entender como o discurso dominante é construído no momento do golpe de estado, centrado na condenação da violência "subversiva" - a dos grupos guerrilheiros - e que leva a aceitar a perspectiva de um intervenção militar como uma solução ou um mal menor. Estudamos na íntegra os relatórios da Embaixada da França na Argentina. Embora na época a repressão parastatal não fosse ignorada, era atribuída ao peronismo (com ênfase no papel do Triplo A), bem como às dificuldades econômicas sofridas pelas empresas francesas. Uma série de ataques perpetrados contra alguns cidadãos franceses completa esse panorama, cuja percepção é dominada por um sentimento de xenofobia.
A Fenomenologia das Relações Internacionais: Uma Análise da Pré-ordem Diante das Principais Ferramentas Conceituais do Saber Internacional
Authors: Castro Thales Cavalcanti
Published: December 2019

O presente artigo foi inspirado nas considerações iniciais do livro public-cado pelo autor, intitulado “Teoria das Relações Internacionais” – obra editada pelo Itamaraty/FUNAG em 2012 com sua segunda edição lançada em 2016. O objetivo desta provocação filosófica, à guisa de artigo, foi bem específico: trazer a fenomenologia como instru-mento de análise introdutória das Relações Internacionais como ciência. Dessa forma, buscou-se, aqui, atrelar o conceito de pré-ordem (com seus ele-mentos constitutivos: simetria, direcio-nalidade e pertinência) como meio e forma de melhor com-preender suas dinâmicas, formações, eixos e funcio-nalidades. O mote deste artigo, portanto, foi atualizar o rico debate, com base na interdisciplinaridade, sobre política internacional – ou melhor: sobre o saber internacional.
Linguagem Simbólica e Racionalidade (profética): Um Retorno Filosófico à Religião à Luz de Ricoeur e Lévinas
Authors: Mendes Elvis de Oliveira
Published: December 2019

É possível um retorno filosófico à religião?  A fim de tentar refletir acerca dessa difícil questão, o presente estudo pretende focar-se no confronto com os desafios do fenômeno religioso que se configura na contemporaneidade, tomando como ponto de referência o encontro entre as contribuições do pensamento filosófico de Paul Ricoeur – que recupera a textualidade da expe-riência religiosa e a fecundi-dade do pensamento ético-filosófico de Emmanuel Lévinas que, por sua vez, propõe o retorno à ética encontrada na tradição talmúdica, a fim de repensar o fenômeno religioso na atualidade.

A Study to Assess the Effect of Stress on Mental Balance/ Judgement, Psychological Health and Adjustment Level
Authors: Singh Mohita , Sachdev Sunil
Published: December 2019

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Stress acts as a warning signal generated in the brain by detecting danger in the environment and indicating that action is required immediately. Only when this regulatory mechanism fails to function properly and promptly, stress inflicts abnormal pathological conditions (e.g. anxiety disorders or depression) interfering with healthy well-being. Present study was designed to study the effect of stress on judgment, adjustment and various aspects of psychological health. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The study was done on 90 subjects (medical students) chosen randomly with no gender bias. Baseline parameters of mental balance/ judgment, adjustment level and various parameters of psychological health were recorded during mid-semester when there was no exam pressure. The parameters were again studied one to two week before exams. Parameters were compared from their baseline values. The student’s t-test was used to compare baseline values from during stress values. P value was significant when p<0.05.RESULTS: Students reported significant decrease in judgment level and their adjustment level showed tendency to decrease during stress. Also, there was significant increase to fall into disorders of anxiety and depression. Other aspects of psychological health showed variable response to stress. CONCLUSION: Stress has impact on judgment, adjustment and psychological health.

Published: December 2019

This Economic Commentary studies employment at colleges and universities in the United States between 1987 and 2013. Some of the results from this analysis are in line with conventional wisdom. For example, I document that a declining proportion of faculty are full-time employees. On the other hand, some of the results are counter to popular belief. For example, I find that the share of college employees who are executives, administrators, or managers has not changed appreciably over time.

This Economic Commentary studies trends in spending by US colleges and universities in broad expenditure categories between 1987 and 2013. The results reveal that spending per student has risen in most major spending categories. This is true for both public institutions and private institutions. However, spending has risen more dramatically in some categories than others. For example, research is one category that has witnessed among the highest spending growth, and in percentage terms, there has also been a large increase in student services spending.
Fractal Asset Pricing Models for Financial Risk Management
Authors: Yarygina I. Z. , Gisin V. B. , Putko B. A.
Published: December 2019

The article presents the analysis findings of the problems and prospects of using the fractal markets theory to mathematically predict the price dynamics of assets as part of a financial risk management strategy. The aim of the article is to find out the features of value of bank assets and to develop recommendations for assessing financial risks based on mathematical methods for forecasting economic processes. Theoretical and empirical research methods were used to achieve the aim. The article reveals the features of mathematical modeling of economic processes related to asset pricing in a volatile market. It was proved that using financial mathematics in banking contributes to the stable development of the economy. Mathematical modeling of the price dynamics of financial assets is based on a substantive hypothesis and supported by an adequate apparatus of fractal pair pricing models in order to reveal specific market relations of business entities. According to the authors, the prospects of using forecast models to minimize the financial risks of derivative financial instruments are positive. The authors concluded that the considered methods contribute to managing financial risks and improving forecasts, including operations with derivatives. Besides, the studied fractal volatility parameters proved the predictive power regarding extreme events in financial markets, such as the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers investment bank in 2008. The relevance of the article is due to the fact that the favorable investment climate and the use of modern financing methods largely depend on the effective financial risk management.

The study was motivated by the increasingly widespread phenomenon of narcissism of CEOs in various companies throughout the world, including Indonesia.he purpose of this study was to determine the impact of narcissism of the Chief Executive Officer on the profit quality of the company.The study was conducted on the purposive sampling of 20 state-owned companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2015 to 2018. The impact of narcissism of the CEO on the profit quality and the financial performance of the company was assessed.The author provided the mathematical justification of some provisions of the issue. The Modified Jones Model was used to evaluatethe company’s financial management. The data were analyzed by means of Multiple Liner Regression.The study showed that the narcissism of the CEO negatively affects the financial results of the company and leads to lower profits. This is consistent with the Upper Enchelons Theory, which states that the organization is a reflection of the values of its leader.
Digital Property and New Economic Relations
Authors: Grabova O. N. , Suglobov A. E.
Published: December 2019

Modern economic relations are developing under the influence of digital property that creates conditions for unprecedented socialization of production and new realities in the relations of appropriation and alienation. This requires both theoretical interpretation and practical research. The aim of the article is to identify current trends in the development of digital property and the new economic relations that it forms in the world, to systematize the conditions for digital property in Russia. The authors used the findings of institutional and evolutionary economic theories, political economy, as well as the principles and methods of SWOT-analysis in order to systematize the issue. The paradigm of the development of Russia should be changed from consumption to production of innovative products and technologies of the digital economy. The paper presents the essential characteristics of digital property and a model of the influence of the digital economy and global integration on modern economic relations. Potential opportunities for the economic development in the system of new economic relations were identified due to the SWOT-analysis of the conditions for the development of digital property in Russia. At the same time, endogenous institutional and target restrictions on the development of the digital economy in Russia (as weaknesses), as well as exogenous restrictions in the form of threats were specified. The authors found the strategic modeling of systems engineering education as a long-term basis for the development of the digital economy necessary. The research results can be used in developing national programs.
Communicative potential of mid-level managers
Authors: Volkov I. V.
Published: December 2019

Introduction.The study utilizes communicative approach to management, which emphasizes communicative potential of the leader as an important factor of effective business. Communicative potential is understood as a compound of empathy, affiliation tendency and sensitivity to rejection among mid-level managers. 

Materials and methods.Communicative potential was measured with set of tools by A. Mehrabian. Study sample included 84 mid-level managers from industrial and trade organizations. All respondents have higher education and are involved in management activities over 5 to 12 subordinates. Respondents were 34 female and 50 male, aged 24 to 45. Management experience of respondents varied from 2 to 5 years. Data analysis methods included descriptive methods and comparison of means.

Results.The study revealed insufficient level of communicative potential of mid-level managers compared to successful managers. Comparison of genders and work experience showed that sensitivity to rejection is higher among female managers, and also drops down with experience for both men and women. Empathy is also lower for those who are more experienced.

Discussion and Conclusions.Communicative potential of mid-level managers needs to be developed through special communication training. The trends revealed I the study can provide the targets for training programs.
Atypical visual direction of in the episodes of joint attention with pre-school children
Authors: Smirnova Y. K.
Published: December 2019

Introduction.The article is devoted to the problem of manifestations of joint attention deficit in preschool age. Joint attention is considered as a key skill in dyadic orientation and providing joint access to the reference to the reference object in the communication process. The study focuses on how skills in a joint search in episodes of joint attention and understanding of the intentional actions of another person are interconnected in typical and atypical ontogenesis.

Materials and methods.In the present study, an experiment examines the visual orientation of directional social signals (orientation toward the direction of eye movements of the communication partner) in typically developing children (n = 21) and children with mental retardation (n = 20). The sample of the study consisted of children of preschool age (5-7 years). To fix the data, we used the recognition criteria and using the correct (congruent) or incorrect (incongruent) direction of eye movements of another person to determine the location of the target (object) that the communication partner chooses during the experiment.

Results.A comparison was made of the use of unmarked instructions by preschool children, which help them to carry out a joint search for potential visually accessible referents and contributes to the selection of a relevant object that the adult had in mind. It is shown that preschoolers with mental retardation have difficulty in the functional use of joint attention for social exchange. Markers of joint attention deficit associated with atypical development at an early stage of ontogenesis were found.

Discussion and Conclusions.In the episodes of joint attention with  preschoolers with mental retardation, there are changes in the profile of suggestive attitudes, sensitivity to the direction of the partner’s gaze, differences in the mechanistic and mentalistic gaze. We can single out the following specific difficulties in children with mental retardation: deficiencies in the reference search, deficiencies in the declarative indication and display, deficiencies in the search, where others indicate.
Coordination of a (Npy)2NimineNamine-donor oxazolidine ligand toward CdX2 (X = Cl, Br, I) with 1:1 and 2:1 M:L molar ratios along with spectral, theoretical and structural studies
Authors: Mardani Z.
Published: December 2019

A series of reactions between an oxazolidine ligand 2-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)oxazolidin-3-yl)-N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)ethanamine (POPME) and CdX2 (X = Cl, Br, I) salts with different M:L molar ratios (1:1 and 2:1) is experimentally studied to determine the most stable product of these reactions. All products are characterized by the elemental analysis, FTIR, Raman, and 1H NMR spectroscopy, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Examinations reveal that only one product is formed from 1:1 and 2:1 M:L reactions between each cadmium(II) halide with POPME. The thermodynamic stability and charge distribution patterns of the compound containing bromide are analyzed by DFT and NBO.

Authors: Егорова М.Н. , Капитонов А.Н. , Алексеев А.А. , Образцова Е.А.
Published: December 2019

В работе предложен простой одностадийный метод синтеза углеродных точек, в котором лимонная кислота служила источником углерода, а мочевина — источником азота. Обнаружено, что спектры люминесценции углеродных точек зависят от длины волны возбуждения. При возбуждении светом с длинами волн от 300 нм до 550 нм эти спектры сдвигаются от 440 нм до 626 нм. Полоса поглощения в области 200—270 нм обусловлена n—p* переходом в связи C=O и π—π*-переходом ароматических доменов sp2 (C=C), а в области 550—570 нм обусловлены n—π*-переходом π-систем, содержащих связи C—N/C=N. Спектры инфракрасного поглощения и рентгеновской фотоэлектронной спектроскопии демонстрируют наличие С=С, С—N—C связей, эпоксидных (C—O—C) и гидроксильных (—OH) функциональных групп, которые непосредственно влияют на сдвиг спектров люминесценции в красную область. Спектры комбинационного рассеяния света указывают на присутствие как sp2, так и sp3 углеродных структур. Методами сканирующей и просвечивающей электронной микроскопии показано, что размеры углеродных точек лежат в пределах от 2 нм до 100 нм.
International Standard of Transdisciplinary Education and Transdisciplinary Competence
Authors: S. Mokiy Vladimir
Published: December 2019

Aim/Purpose: The year 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of the first official definition of the term “transdisciplinarity.” This paper focuses on a critical analysis of the development of modern transdisciplinarity since its inception.

Background: The article presents two main directions for the development of transdisciplinarity. It also shows its identification features, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as the significant role transdisciplinarity plays in science and education.

Methodology: The methodology employed in this article is a content analysis of resolutions of international forums as well as articles on transdisciplinarity published from 1970 to 2019.

Contribution: For one reason or the other, several of these authors did not quote the opinions of the original authors of transdisciplinarity. The subsequent use of those articles by other authors thus posed some ambiguities about the place and role of transdisciplinarity in science and education. The advent of e-databases has made it possible to access the original forum articles. This further made it possible to refine the original content of the term “transdisciplinarity” and to trace its development without mixing it with vague opinions. Based on these findings, the perception of transdisciplinarity as a marginal trend in science and education could be eliminated.

Findings: This paper shows how modern transdisciplinarity is developing into two main directions: transdisciplinarity in science as well as transdisciplinarity in education. These orientations have individual goals and objectives. The transdisciplinarity of scientific research helps to complete the transformation of the potential for interdisciplinary interaction and the integration of disciplines. Whereas, in education, transdisciplinarity (meta-discipline) is about developing an international standard for transdisciplinary education and also describing the content of transdisciplinary competence for students of diverse disciplines at all levels of higher education (bachelor’s, master’s and postgraduate studies).

Recommendation for Researchers: Transdisciplinary research involves the interaction of people with disciplinary knowledge plus a degree of scientific outlook. Since disciplinary knowledge domains remain in their disciplinary boxes, it is, therefore, advisable to generalize disciplinary knowledge rather than force them to interact. This is the basis for proposing the systems transdisciplinary approach—which provides a methodology for unifying and generalizing disciplinary knowledge.

Future Research: As the research shows, the organizers of modern international forums do not take into account the division of transdisciplinarity development trends. To increase the effectiveness and significance of such forums, it is necessary to return to the practice of organizing special international forums on the transdisciplinarity of science and that of education.

Published: December 2019

In this paper, we introduce two operators associated with ψ* and *ψ operators in ideal topological
spaces and discuss the properties of these operators. We give further
characterizations of Hayashi-Samuel spaces with the help of these two
operators. We also give a brief discussion on homeomorphism of generalized
closure spaces which were induced by these two operators.

Building Visual Anomaly Dataset from Satellite Data using ADS-B
Authors: Kastelic Marko , Pers Janez
Published: December 2019

In this paper, we present a novel way of obtaining extremely challenging image dataset for the purpose of benchmarking image anomaly detection methods. By definition, anomalies are rare occurrences, and therefore, annotation of anomalies using human workforce is difficult and costly, as large amounts of mostly non-anomalous data need to be checked. To alleviate this problem, we use satellite images from Planet.com as the source of visual data, and combine them with ADS-B data to detect airplanes in a semi-automatic way. This way, our definition of anomaly is an appearance of an airplane on mostly airplane-free images. This not only speeds up annotation, but also provides the exact specification of what constitutes an anomaly, in an objective way. The resulting meta-dataset, containing references to Planet.com imagery and accurate annotations will be published in the near future. It will include locations of nearly 100 positions of airplanes on satellite images and the corresponding references to satellite images, captured in vicinity of large airports in different parts of the world, in different climate zones.
Jamming/Garbling assessment and possible mitigations in the OpenSky network
Authors: Leonardi Mauro , Strohmeier Martin , Lenders Vincent
Published: December 2019

The Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) technology is one of the pillars of the future surveillance system for air traffic control. However, its many fundamental vulnerabilities are well known and an active area of research. This paper examines two closely related ADS-B radio frequency channel issues, jamming and garbling.

Both jamming and garbling produce the same physical effect: the reception of mixed signals, coming from different sources (usually not co-located). In this paper, we assess the impact of these reception problems and examine three separate mitigation techniques. Through the use of theoretical evaluations, simulations and real-world analysis based on data collected by the OpenSky Network, we compare their effectiveness and establish a first baseline for their use in modern low-cost, crowdsourced ADS-B networks.

Kablosuz
Enerji Transferi (KET) uygulamalarında en önemli hedef, verimli bir enerji
transferi sağlamaktır. KET günümüzde cep telefonu şarjı, elektrikli araç şarjı,
aydınlatma, kontrol vb. birçok alanda uygulanmaktadır. Yüksek verimi, çevresel
olumsuz etkilerinin az olması gibi avantajlarından dolayı, manyetik rezonans yöntemi
en çok tercih edilen KET yöntemidir. Manyetik rezonansa dayalı KET
sistemlerinde, sistem verimini artırmak için yüksek verimli bir KET transformatörü kullanılmalıdır. Bu çalışmada manyetik
rezonansa dayalı bir KET sisteminin tasarımı yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla öncelikle
hibrit (hava-ferrit) nüveli özgün bir transformatör tasarlanmıştır.
Transformatörün Dairesel-Dilimli Parçalı(D-DP) ferrit nüve yapısı ilk defa bu
çalışmada kullanılmıştır. Transformatörün sargıları litz iletken olarak
tasarlanmıştır. Transformatörde kaçak akıları en aza indirmek amacıyla
sargıların dış yüzeylerine alüminyum levhalar kullanılarak manyetik akı
sargılar arasında kalmaya zorlanmıştır. Tasarlanan transformatörün sonlu
elemanlar yöntemi ile manyetik analizleri yapılmış ve sonuçları nümerik
hesaplarla doğrulanmıştır. Manyetik analiz sonuçları kullanılarak, KET transformatörü
simülasyon devresi üzerinden yüklenmiş ve % 97 verim ile elektrik enerjisi
transferi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar D-DP ferrit nüve yapısının
KET transformatörü uygulamalarında başarı ile kullanılabileceğini göstermiştir.
Yeni bir 3 Fazlı Disk Tipi Enine Akılı Generatörün Tasarımı ve Vuruntu Momenti En iyileştirmesi

Published: December 2019

Günümüzde
elektrik enerjisi elde etmenin birçok yolu vardır. Bu elektrik enerjisi elde
etme yöntemleri doğalgaz yardımıyla olabilir, rüzgâr enerjisi ile olabilir veya
güneş sistemleri vasıtasıyla olabilir. Rüzgâr türbinlerini güneş sistemleri ile
kıyaslarsak daha az yer kapladığını söyleyebiliriz. Rüzgâr enerjisi yardımıyla
elektrik enerjisi elde ederken var olan rüzgârı en verimli şekilde kullanmak
oldukça önemlidir. Bu noktada devreye giren enine akılı makineler rüzgâr
türbinlerinde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Özellikle düşük hız
uygulamalarında dişli sisteme ihtiyaç duymadığından dolayı rüzgâr türbinleri
için bir tercih sebebi olmuştur. Enine akılı makinelerde, yapısal
özelliklerinden dolayı elektriksel yükleme ile manyetik yükleme doğrudan
ilişkili değildir. Kutup sayıları ve manyetik yüklemeleri kolaylıkla
arttırılabilir. Bu nedenle robot kolları, elektrikli araçlar ve rüzgâr
türbinleri gibi yüksek moment- düşük hız uygulamalarında öne çıkmaktadırlar. Bu
çalışmada yeni bir üç fazlı enine akılı disk generatör modeli tanıtılmıştır. Modelin
çalışma prensibi ve elektriksel devre modeli açıklanmıştır. Sonlu elemanlar
yöntemi kullanılarak, önerilen generatör modelinin rotor iç çapına göre zıt-emk
kuvvetinin değişimi elde edilmiştir. Bir diğer elektromanyetik analiz olarak
vuruntu momenti incelenmiştir. Enine akılı makinelerin genel sakıncalarından olan
vuruntu momenti, 6 Nm’den 0,38 Nm’ ye düşürülmüştür. Bunun için 3 fazlı disk
model kullanılmış ve her disk yapısında 0,5° mıknatıs kaykısı
uygulanmıştır.
