Authors: Salamanova M. Sh. , Murtazaev S.-A. Yu. , Ismailova Z. H. , Bisultanov R. G.
Published: November 2019

Objectives The creation of clinkerless cements that do not require high-temperature processing and significant natural resources, at the same time as exhibiting good technical parameters, seems to be an important research task. Cements of alkaline instillation, in which alkaline metals play an active role, are capable of interacting with minerals of aluminosilicate nature forming strong and insoluble compounds.

Methods Concrete composites from binding substances activated by alkaline were developed on the basis of Russian and foreign experience of using cinder slag composites in construction.

Results In this work, energy-dispersion microanalysis of the developed clinkerless compositions based on alkaline silicate sodium solutions from silica-containing rocks was carried out.

Conclusion Formulations of clinkerless cements based on high-dispersal powders of different natures mixed by the alkaline solution obtained using the wet technique at temperatures of up to 95 °C and atmospheric pressure are proposed. This technology will expand the use of alkaline cements, thus leading to the development of concrete having desired properties.

ObjectivesTo study the problem of determining the degree of stress at the apex of a wedge-shaped area in cases where the sides (or one of them) are covered with a thin flexible coating.

MethodIt is assumed that the coating is not stretchable. On the other side of the wedge-shaped area, the same coating is assumed to be present; it is either fixed, stress-free or in smooth contact with a rigid base. Mathematically, the problem is reduced to the task of determining the roots of characteristic transcendental equations arising from the existence of a nontrivial solution to the system of linear homogeneous equations.

ResultsValues for the specific characteristics of the radial component of a stress tensor are determined for different combinations of boundary conditions and solution angles. In particular, the angles at which the singular behaviour of stresses occurs are determined. The case is considered when a special boundary condition is given on the edge surface, simulating the overlay. Characteristic equations are obtained to determine the index of the degree dependency of the asymptotic solution in its vicinity for four variants of boundary conditions. In two cases, transcendental equations are obtained, which are solved numerically.

ConclusionCalculations of the first positive roots of the equations depending on the angle of the edge solution and Poisson's ratio are presented. The values of the angles, at which the singular behaviour of stresses occurs, are determined. In the case of a combination of boundary conditions (III – IV), the singular stress behaviour is observed for the angle ???? = ????/8, while in the case of (III – III) this value is equal to ????/4.
MODELLING THE EFFECT OF A THERMOELECTRIC DEVICE ON THE FOOT UNDER AMBULATORY CONDITIONS
Authors: Khazamova M. A. , Magomedov D. A. , Kobzarenko D. N.
Published: November 2019

Objectives This work was devoted to the research of thermal processes that occur in the reflex areas of the human body, in particular, in reflexogenic areas of the human foot, under the thermal influence under ambulatory conditions.

Method A model of thermal impact on the reflex areas of the human body was developed on the basis of a semiconductor thermoelectric device. A simplified physical model was studied, which does not consider heat exchange in thermoelectric batteries (TEBs) and elements of TEBs pairing with separate reflex zones.

Results Diagrams for temperature distribution throughout the foot at different values of heat flow and diagrams of temperature changes over time were obtained. The thermal influence of a TEB brought in thermal contact with the opposite surface of the foot is negligible in this case; this is due to the low thermal conductivity of foot tissues, as well as insignificant thermal flows on its surface (low-power TEBs were used for such procedures).

Conclusion The developed model of a semiconductor thermoelectric device for treating the reflex areas of the human body – in particular, the foot – allows an investigation of thermal processes occurring during the thermal treatment of biologically active points of the human sole. It is established that local temperature impact on a biological object does not result in significant temperature difference over its thickness.
METHOD FOR OBTAINING THE PARAMETERS OF MEMBERSHIP FUNCTIONS OF FUZZY SETS BASED ON REAL DATA FOR AUTOMATED INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS
Authors: Bisyanov E. E. , Gutnik A. A.
Published: November 2019

Objectives Development of a method for selecting the type of accessory function and obtaining its parameters to allow subjective personal influences in automated information processing to be excluded.

Method. Existing methods for constructing membership functions were analysed. The research was based on the methods of fuzzy logic and data analysis.

Results. A method for obtaining the parameters of membership functions of fuzzy sets using real data is suggested. It is proposed to use the data obtained from the object under study to determine the kernel of the fuzzy number, as well as derive theoretical information about the object for the carrier. Triangular, trapezoidal, bell-shaped and Gaussian membership functions are considered. The appearance of the membership function can be defined using the criterion of the relations of the kernel to the carrier of a fuzzy set. The results of calculations for obtaining the membership functions based on data on the power consumption of electric motors of different types are given.

Conclusion. The developed method can be used both in decision support systems as well as in automated systems for controlling technological processes. If necessary, the values of the criterion proposed in the article can be revised to take the values included in the set of measured real data into account or to simplify the procedure of automated processing. Further research will use the described method to obtain the terms of linguistic variables.
MATHEMATICAL MIXER MODEL WITH FORMATION OF HETERODYNE ANTIPHASE SIGNAL

Published: November 2019

Objectives To carry out calculations involved in the design of a microwave mixer with a diplexer with the formation of the antiphase heterodyne signal using a slot resonator.

Method In order to calculate and optimise the characteristics, design and topological parameters of microwave mixers, the results of the design bandpass filter  PF and low-pass filter (LPF) mixers of through-feed type were used. The characteristics of mixers and their structural elements were calculated using the Serenade software package intended for the automated calculation of microwave devices. A distinct feature of designing mixers (with a diplexer) involves the need to optimise the topology of the diplexer before optimising the mixer characteristics.

Results The characteristics of nonlinear distortions show that the maximum power level at the mixer inlet should not exceed -15 – -20 dBm. In order to attenuate the intermodulation distortions of the 3rd order, this level should be higher that 50 dBs. The relatively low level of compression and suppression of harmonic and intermodulation distortions associated with the minimisation of the heterodyne power level at the calculation of characteristics of mixers of the required heterodyne power level (Rh ~ 5-7 dBm) is due to the minimum expenses at the realisation of sources of heterodyne signals. A noticeable improvement in the characteristics of mixers by nonlinear distortions can be achieved by shifting the operating point at the points on the current-voltage characteristic (VAC) diodes by an external voltage source with a simultaneous increase in Ph by several dB (up to Ph = 10 dBm).

Conclusion A mode of increased nonlinear distortion suppression can be practically realised by switching on diodes through resistive-capacitive circuits (auto-shift) or using diodes with an increased potential barrier. The calculation shows that it is possible to realise sufficiently small conversion losses of 6.6-8.0 dB at low levels of Rh ~ 5-7 dBm.

Cilj: Osnovni cilj našeg istraživanja je usporedba doznih parametara i debljine komprimirane dojke kod mamografskog pregleda koji je izvršen digitalnom tomosintezom (engl. digital breast thomosynthesis; DBT) i standardne, 2D mamografije. Ispitanici i metode: U istraživanje je uključeno 200 ispitanica životne dobi od 40 do 81 godine (median 60,5 ± 10,6). Ispitanice su podijeljene u dvije skupine, ovisno o vrsti mamografskog pregleda. Ova retrospektivna analiza obuhvatila je pretrage koje su vršene na mamografskom uređaju Hologic Selenia Dimensions (Hologic, Bedford, Mass) u razdoblju od 1. veljače 2018. do 30. ožujka 2018. Rezultati: Hi-kvadrat testom isključila se statistički značajna razlika u gustoći parenhima dojki između dviju grupa ispitanica. T-test nije pokazao statistički značajnu razliku u dobi ispitanica, kao niti razlike u debljini komprimiranih dojki između dviju ispitanih skupina. Vrijednost srednje glandularne doze (engl. average glandular dose; AGD) kod DBT-a u odnosu na 2D mamografiju bila je viša 0,53 mGy za lijevu dojku, a 0,37 mGy za desnu dojku (3,83 / -1 mGy, p = 0.001; 3.82 / -0.9 mGy, p = 0.023). Zaključak: Usprkos statistički značajnoj razlici u AGD-u kod DBT-a u odnosu na 2D mamografiju između dviju skupina ispitanica, ona je unutar granica prihvatljivosti propisanih Pravilnikom o uvjetima za primjenu izvora ionizirajućeg zračenja u svrhu medicinskog i nemedicinskog ozračenja (NN 42/2018, 9. 5. 2018.), stoga smatramo da je opravdano uvođenje DBT-a kao standardne radiološke metode pregleda dojki.
Energizing Industrial Development: The Role of the State in 21st Century Greening Strategies
Authors: Mathews John A.
Published: December 2019

Industrial development, as it diffuses globally to encompass the great emerging 21st century powers China, India and Brazil, increasingly has to place energy issues at the core – to move off the fossil fuels that worked in the past but are creating impossible tensions now and to move towards a new green growth model that promises to reduce or eliminate those tensions as it expands. In this paper I review the issues involved in the new ‘green industrial strategy’ and discuss the institutional state strategies being deployed in China, India, Brazil and South Africa – the BICS countries – to drive the transition that is under way. The argument goes that in the 21st century the developmental state has perforce to be a practitioner of green industrial strategies. The Brazilian model with its threefold involvement of state institutions in developing rolling ten-year plans for renewable energy deployment, targeted investment with local content requirements through the national development bank and promotion of cost eductions through state-mediated reverse auctions, is discussed as a viable strategy.Keywords: industrialization, strategic planning, sustainable development, public policy, renewable energy, international cooperation, case study

Análise da trajetória institucional de implementação da Política Nacional de Desenvolvimento Regional no Brasil
Authors: Silva Sandro Pereira
Published: December 2019

Este trabalho analisou os processos normativos e arranjos institucionais que são envolvidos na operacionalização de uma política nacional cujo objetivo seja incidir de maneira diferenciada no território nacional, com vistas a promover trajetórias de desenvolvimento mais equilibradas entre as regiões do País. Para isso, foi escolhida como referência analítica a Política Nacional de Desenvolvimento Regional (PNDR), lançada em 2003 pelo Governo Federal. A experiência da PNDR no Brasil pode trazer importantes ensinamentos em termos de arranjos institucionais e federativos necessários para planejar e implementar uma política de desenvolvimento regional voltada para todo o território nacional. No entanto, o desenho institucional da PNDR acarretou fatores que dificultaram uma ação mais consistente para fomentar novas dinâmicas de desenvolvimento nos territórios diferenciados.

Busca-se compreender como as duas questões podem influenciar no fluxo de análise das contas. Considera-se que cada tribunal tem autonomia de organização que não apenas interfere na sua estrutura organizacional, mas que também tem reflexo na existência de mecanismos de interação social. Foram consultadas constituições estaduais, leis orgânicas e regimentos internos, além de realizada uma extensa pesquisa nos sites dos respectivos tribunais de contas. O debate conceitual tratou da posição institucional desses órgãos de controle de contas na estrutura do estado, suas dimensões técnicas e políticas, a questão federativa e as relações sociedade e Estado. Identificou-se a inexistência de padrões no fluxo de análise de contas e a existência de grande variedade de mecanismos de interação e seus respectivos alcances na relação com a sociedade.
Parlamento e educação: cursos e lógicas do sistema brasileiro de educação legislativa
Authors: Mota Rildo José Cosson , Barros Antonio Teixeira de
Published: December 2019

O artigo tem como objeto de análise o sistema de educação legislativa, com base no exame das principais características dos cursos de educação superior oferecidos pelas escolas do Legislativo. A metodologia consiste em análise documental e pesquisa bibliográfica. A primeira consistiu no exame dos projetos pedagógicos e grades curriculares dos cursos, ementas e conteúdos programáticos, enquanto a segunda abrange a literatura sobre Parlamento e educação legislativa. A análise revela que esse sistema é regido por duas lógicas distintas de funcionamento, porém vinculadas à proposta de modernização do Legislativo no Brasil. A primeira é denominada de lógica da gestão e tem como fundamento a chamada nova gestão pública, orientada pela eficiência e racionalidade burocrática. A segunda, identificada como lógica de instituição, adota uma visão interna ao Legislativo e procura rever o funcionamento do Legislativo, menos em termos de gestão e mais em termos de suas funções constitucionais. A discussão dos dados chama atenção para a singularidade das iniciativas das escolas do Legislativo no Brasil, que existem há mais de dez e ainda são pouco estudadas pela Ciência Política.
Trends in Public Administration after Hegemony of the New Public Management
Authors: Cavalcante Pedro Luiz
Published: December 2019

The paper’s goal is to advance at understanding of the public management framework after decades of administrative reform under the New Public Management (NPM) hegemony. Based on a broad literature review, the paper maps trends in terms of principles and guidelines and indicates that post-NPM is a process of continuity rather than a disruption with the previous paradigm. The implementation processes of the management trends, as well as in the NPM, are presented in different ways, varying according to the context and institutional framework of each government. The article concludes that the most emblematic characteristic of the contemporary public administration is the prevalence of the governance phenomenon that, in different formats, encompasses most of the post-NPM principles and guidelines discussed in the literature. In this sense, the return of the State and the bureaucracy as protagonists is emphasized, however, far from the traditional hierarchical standard. The current role of the civil service focus on the direction of interdisciplinary skills, collaborative capacities, increasing accountability to society, as well as leadership with interactive components.

Como se desenham as trajetórias das carreiras dos diplomatas de elite do Ministério das Relações Exteriores (MRE)? Considerando que os trânsitos institucionais dos diplomatas brasileiros constituem peça central no funcionamento administrativo e político dessa burocracia, o presente artigo tem como objetivo responder a essa pergunta. Isso porque analisar essas dinâmicas colaboram tanto para entender um dos ministérios mais fechados do serviço civil público nacional, quanto avançam na construção de padrões da movimentação institucional dos atores que operam, sistematicamente e desde posições de comando, a política externa brasileira. Assim, a carreira da elite diplomática, composta por segundos ministros e embaixadores, e por mais de três décadas de carreira em média de carreira, é descrita em termos tanto das indicações para cargos de confiança na Secretaria de Estado (Sere), quanto nas passagens por postos diplomáticos no exterior, instituições nacionais e organismos internacionais. Os resultados apontam para um comportamento muito similar entre as duas hierarquias em que a maioria dos cargos de confiança na Sere são direcionados a posições de nível intermediário (DAS-4). As frequências majoritárias das trajetóriasexógenas a Sere, se concentram em postos no exterior, de classes “A” e “C”, seguidas por trânsitos em organismos internacionais e difusamente por instituições nacionais.

empirical evaluation of metrics on aspect-oriented programs
Authors: Ghareb Mazen Ismaeel , Allen Garry
Published: November 2019

The quality evaluation of software metrics measurement is considered as the primary indicator of imperfection prediction and software maintenance in various empirical studies of software products. However, there is no agreement on which metrics are compelling quality pointers for new software development approaches such as aspect-oriented programming (AOP) techniques. AOP intends to enhance programming quality by providing fundamentally different parts of the systems, for example, pointcuts, advice, and intertype relationships. Hence, it is not evident if quality characteristics for AOP could be extracted from direct expansions of traditional object-oriented programming (OOP) measurements. Then again, investigations of AOP do regularly depend on established static and dynamic metrics measurement; notwithstanding the late research of AOP in empirical studies, few analyses been adopted using the International Organization for Standardization 9126 quality model as useful markers of flaw inclination in this context. This paper examination we have considered different programming quality models given by various authors every once in a while and distinguished that adaptability was deficient in the current model. We have testing 10 projects developed by AOP. We have used many applications to extract the metrics, but none of them could extract all AOP Metrics. It only can measure some of AOP Metrics, not all of them. This study investigates the suitable framework for extract AOP Metrics, for instance, static and dynamic metrics measurement for hybrid application systems (AOP and OOP) or only AOP application.
Suspected Protective Effect of Eruca Sativa Leaves Extract on Sperm Abnormalities in Male Albino Mice Treated with Hypericum triqutrifolium aqueous crude extract
Authors: Raouf Chro Ghafoor , Ahmad Mahmood Othman
Published: November 2019

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of Eruca sativa on the cytotoxic effect of Hypericum triquetrifolium on sperm abnormalities in albino mice. Leaves of E. sativa and aerial parts of H. triquetrifolium were dried in shade and grinded and their aqueous extracts were used for the treatments to study their effect on sperm morphology. Treated groups were injected with a single dose of 38 mg/kg body weight (BW) of Hypericum subcutaneously, while the Eruca groups were orally administered with 250 mg/kg BW twice/week for 2 weeks. After the exposure of H. triquetrifolium, the frequency of abnormal sperms showed a highly significant induction of sperm abnormalities; separated head from tail sperms, swollen head, hookless, defective head, and hook. However, the Eruca group showed no obvious abnormalities in sperm morphology, while in cotreatment with both Eruca and Hypericum (H/E) groups, there was an extremely significant decrease (P < 0.0001) in the abnormal sperms. In conclusion, it appeared that E. sativa could prevent or at least minimize the damages that Hypericum toxins would make on the sperm morphology significantly.
Social Media Recruitment of Marginalized, Hard-to-Reach Populations: Development of Recruitment and Monitoring Guidelines
Authors: Russomanno Jennifer , Patterson Joanne G , Jabson Tree Jennifer M
Published: December 2019

Background

Social media can be a useful strategy for recruiting hard-to-reach, stigmatized populations into research studies; however, it may also introduce risks for participant and research team exposure to negative comments. Currently, there is no published formal social media recruitment and monitoring guidelines that specifically address harm reduction for social media recruitment of marginalized populations.

Objective

The purpose of this research study was to investigate the utility, successes, challenges, and positive and negative consequences of using targeted Facebook advertisements as a strategy to recruit transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) people into a research study.

Methods

TGNC adults living in the Southeast Unites States were recruited via targeted Facebook advertisements over two cycles in April and June 2017. During cycle 1, researchers only used inclusion terms to recruit the target population. During cycle 2, the social media recruitment and monitoring protocol and inclusion and exclusion terms were used.

Results

The cycle 1 advertisement reached 8518 people and had 188 reactions, comments, and shares but produced cyberbullying, including discriminatory comments from Facebook members. Cycle 2 reached fewer people (6976) and received 166 reactions, comments, and shares but produced mostly positive comments.

Conclusions

Researchers must consider potential harms of using targeted Facebook advertisements to recruit hard-to-reach and stigmatized populations. To minimize harm to participants and research staff, researchers must preemptively implement detailed social media recruitment and monitoring guidelines for monitoring and responding to negative feedback on targeted Facebook advertisements.

Published: December 2019

Banyusoco village in Gunungkidul has more than 60% of its land as state forests managed by several forest farmer groups in Hutan Kemasyarakatan scheme (HKm) majority planted Teak (Tectona grandis). Problem of "delayed" revenue through harvesting slow-growing Teak stands could be resolved by planting a type of tubers or empon-empon under the stand, so that forest floor may earn additional income. Our community service focuses on introduction of Porang tuber plants (Amorphophallus oncocphyllus) to a) increase environmental knowledge and skills of farmers in agroforestry-Porang cultivation; b) increase knowledge and skills of farmers in harvesting and managing post-harvest of Porang; c) increase farmers' income from Porang. Our first of three year activities program included institutional workshops and introduction of Porang cultivation, procurement of Porang seeds, development of demonstration plot, and facilitation on planting Porang under stands. Temporary result was a 0.5 ha-demonstration plot with 4,000 seeds supporting by HKm "Sedyo Makmur" which positively impacts in a) fostering cohesiveness of members with mutual cooperation every Thursday (Kamisan) in preparing and maintaining land; b) increasing members' understanding in cultivation Porang; c) becoming a portfolio in national HKm competition. Following year's community empowerment program continues to be focused on maintaining, harvesting and marketing Porang.
Insurance Cycles, Spanning and Regulation
Authors: Hogan Arthur M.B. , Nickerson David
Published: November 2019

This paper offers a novel explanation of the financial underwriting cycle in the property-liability insurance industry. By doing so it resolves that significant anomaly in asset pricing theory posed by cycles in the efficient pricing of insurance coverage. In contrast to the reliance on a variety of institutional or capital market failures underlying all previous explanations of this cycle, we directly augment the complete-markets environment of traditional asset-pricing models through the presence of a single source of risk that cannot be fully hedged through existing financial markets. We realistically interpret this source of risk as unforecastable noise in the implementation of insurance regulations. Cycles in the value of underwriting insurance coverage can arise in this simple variant of a standard complete-markets pricing model owing to the effect of such regulatory risk. We offer a sufficient condition for a stable cycle to endogenously exist in market equilibrium and illustrate this condition in the context of a representative insurance firm and a regulator pursuing a countercyclical policy with noisy implementation. Interestingly, while insurance pricing is efficient in the absence of the regulator, cyclic pricing and underwriting profitability can be induced by a countercyclical regulator policy designed to stabilize the very cycle it creates.
Daniel Defoe’s Roxana: Puritanism and Its Subversion
Authors: Tholoniat Yann
Published: November 2019

The narrative of the adventures of Roxana is described in the preface as a warning against various inappropriate behaviours, but Daniel Defoe’s novel as a whole includes a number of contradictory perspectives which undercut many of the Puritan values that its official and prefatory purpose tries to reassert. The heroine herself seems to enjoy rather than regrets the many drawbacks and misdeeds she indulges in by describing them at great length and with great gusto. This article studies the default lines of Roxana’s confession beyond the Puritan perspective by exploring the manner in which Roxana’s ambiguous re-telling hovers between qualification and pleasure.
Appropriation of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to reduce poverty in Aguascalientes, Mexico
Authors: Becerril-Velasco Christian Iván
Published: December 2019

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to review the extent to which the institutional weakness of the Mexican state has impeded the poor from appropriating technology to obtain a sustained income in the labour market in order to overcome poverty through their own efforts.

Methodology: The methodological design of our research was sequential-exploratory and entailed a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods.

Results: The results show that the institutional weakness of the Mexican state impedes people from appropriating ICTs to expand their opportunities to obtain a sustained income in the labour market in order to overcome poverty through their own efforts.

Limitations: The main limitation in this study is that we collected data in only one state of the Mexican Republic.

Main findings: The questionnaire we applied to ex-recipients of the anti-poverty policy Prospera has an acceptable confidence level to be able to make generalizations about the labour conditions of the poor people who are aged between eighteen and twenty-nine and completed high school in the state of Aguascalientes.

Educators, in the whole education processes, are one of the essential factors in directing pedagogical and characteristic activities to achieve educational goals. To this end, their professionalism are supposed to accommodate studentsâ€™ necessities in various aspects, such as spiritual, intellectual, morality, ethics as well as their basic needs. Educators are also called for to understand professional ethics in performing their duties. Furthermore, professional educators, in person, must have possessed quality and character integrity with which they will gain potential and ability to illuminate and demonstrate authority and honesty. Focusing on professional educatorsâ€™ integrity, this journal highlights all issues regarding the professionalism degradation.
