The practical aspects of implementation of the thrust allocation procedure for a multi-propulsor underwater robot
Authors: Garus Jerzy , Żak Bogdan
Published: March 2019

This article addresses the practical aspects of the synthesis of an automatic control system for the thrust allocation strategy in the propulsion system of an unmanned underwater vehicle. The vehicle under consideration is a robot submarine equipped with a multi-propulsion system providing four degrees of freedom of movement. The power distribution algorithms are based on limited optimisation methods that allow the determination, on the basis of generalised torques and forces, of how much thrust is required to be produced by individual propulsors. Considering the issue of power distribution as a task of square and linear programming, two algorithms of thrust allocation were proposed and compared. The conducted model tests made it possible to evaluate their quality and efficiency in relation to speed and computational complexity.
Institutional evolution of open and close forms of capitalism – A case of Holland and Japan
Authors: Solarz Jan Krzysztof
Published: March 2019

In the tradition of comparative capitalism, Japan represents a continental banking-oriented system. Holland represents an Anglo-Saxon market system. In Varieties Of Capitalism, Holland and Japan are identified as the same type of Liberal Market Economy (LME) or Coordinated Market Economy (CME). Only a dynamic view presented in this paper explains why Holland and Japan are now LMEs, as they used to be in the years 1868–1930. Holland and Japan used to be CMEs in the years 1910–1970s. The institutional equilibrium of open capitalism in Holland and close capitalism in Japan can explain periods of economic stagnation in the years 1603–2018.
Why does mainstream economy not explain the causes of contemporary negative socio-economic phenomena?
Authors: Misiński Wojciech
Published: March 2019

This article is a continuation and extension of the lecture ‘Causes and effects of incompleteness and non-inclusion of ownership structures of contemporary capital companies’ delivered at the conference in Wrocław in 2017 and published in the Scientific Notebooks of the University of Economics (No. 493). The aim of the article is to answer the question: why the Neoclassical Theory of Markets (Main Current Economics) does not explain the causes of a number of contemporary socio-economic phenomena, in particular, huge price fluctuations, breakdowns of individual markets and as a consequence of economic crises on a global scale? This required a new, different from the neoclassical view of the series of processes and market phenomena occurring in contemporary economies as well as the verification of the Neoclassical Market Theory paradigm constituting the main core of the Mainstream Economics. These include, in particular: 1) theoretical (classical) and real ‘object (s)’ analysis of market transactions; 2) rejection of one-dimensional, neoclassical analysis of exchange processes (transactions), accepting two or even three-dimensional analysis of the exchange process (transaction); 3) analysis of exchange processes (transactions), the ‘subject’ of which are complete, incomplete or partial (and their bundles) property rights; 4) analysis of exchange processes (transactions) by complete and exclusive and incomplete and non-exclusive decision-makers; 5) analysis of exchange processes (transactions), whose ‘subject’ are partial (and their bundles) property rights in relation to virtual (non-material) ‘goods’. Taking into account that the above verification (acceptance of a different from the neoclassical paradigm of market theory) allows to break out of the circle of elegant and logical neoclassical analysis of theoretical, never and nowhere existing markets (exchange processes), and more importantly, the explanatory reasons for a series of negative, contemporary socio-economic phenomena.

Authors: Ortega Hector , Hahn Beth , Tran Josephine N. , Bell Chris , Shams Salman A. , Llanos Jean-Pierre
Published: March 2019

Background: Real-world data on the characteristics and burden of disease among patients with asthma before receiving asthma-specific biologics would improve the understanding of the use of these therapies in a clinical setting. Currently, limited data are available on the
use of mepolizumab and omalizumab for the treatment of asthma. Objective: To determine the characteristics and disease burden among patients with asthma before initiating treatment with mepolizumab or omalizumab. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort
analysis of commercial and Medicare Advantage Plan members from a medical claims database with a new claim for mepolizumab or omalizumab between January 1, 2015, and March 31, 2017 (GSK ID: HO-17‐18283). Eligible patients had a diagnosis of asthma and continuous enrollment in the health
plan, with clinical and pharmacy benefits for 12 months before initiating asthma-specific biologic treatment (baseline period), and no diagnosis of chronic idiopathic urticaria during the baseline period. Patient characteristics, exacerbations, and asthma-related health care resource utilization
and costs were assessed during the baseline period. Results: Overall, 188 and 901 patients prescribed mepolizumab and omalizumab, respectively, were included. In the 12 months before initiating asthma-specific biologic therapy, the patients prescribed mepolizumab were older,
had higher blood eosinophil counts, more-frequent exacerbations (2.9 versus 2.0 exacerbations/year; p < 0.001), and more inhaled corticosteroid and systemic corticosteroid use compared with those prescribed omalizumab. Overall, asthma-related health-care resource utilization and costs were
similar across both treatment cohorts, although patients prescribed mepolizumab had more pharmacy fills, higher pharmacy costs, and lower clinic costs compared with patients prescribed omalizumab (20.8 versus 16.9 fills, $4504 versus $3102, and $1816 versus $2709,
respectively; all p < 0.001). Conclusion: In the 12 months before initiating asthma-specific biologic therapy, the patients prescribed mepolizumab may have a greater disease burden than those prescribed omalizumab. Overall, health-care resource utilization and costs
were broadly similar across both treatment cohorts.
Raiding of agricultural crops and forests by wild boar (Sus scrofa L.) and its mitigation tricks
Authors: Sarwar Muhammad
Published: March 2019

Wild boar (Sus scrofa L.), is the utmost communal native species of wildlife to bring about plants injury. In this article, it is proved that wild boar is an important factor and a particular concern to the agricultural industry regarding crops and frosts damage along with its alleviating tactics. Wild boar may destroy to agricultural crops by crushing or eating of plants. Likewise, these may harm to crops while wallowing and rooting which injury to plant roots, and form holes and grooves that harm farm equipment and endanger operations. Wild boar injury is more in fields that are in neighboring vicinity of forests ranges. Wild boars harshly influence trees and timber resources in many ways like disturbance of planted seedlings, girdling and rubbing of matured trees, chewing and rooting of sideway roots of fully-fledged trees, and tusking or scent marking with the tusk glands that injuries to tree bark. Mitigation strategies for wild boar losses comprise creation of education and awareness among persons, co-operative securing of matured crops and use of local protective methods. Wild boar can be managed through small-scale exclusion, trapping and shooting tactics. Shooting is a popular method of controlling wild boar populations and in this way pressure from hunting will let the pest to move away from where they are hunted, or at a minimum, will restrict their movements. It has been found that using of dogs is the most effective for locating of individuals or smaller groups of wild boars. In some cases, a female boar is trapped, spayed fitted with a radio collar and then released in field. Since female boars live in groups, the spayed female will lead wildlife managers to local boar populations, which can assist in population control efforts. While recreational hunting is often a preferred method, it is also effective to some extent at controlling of wild boar population growth. Trapping, however, is highly effective at controlling and reducing of boar’s population growth. The study of spatiotemporal variant of boar-inflicted losses and recognition of reasons which boost the risk of harm delivers necessary facts for contributing to develop a further effectual strategy for handling of wild boar’s density.

Published: March 2019

This study was conducted to evaluate the contamination and accumulation of heavy metals such as Cadmium (Cd) and Chromium (Cr) in soil and plant grown in contaminated soil. Orchard and relative non-orchard fields were chosen to carry out this study. For total and available metals, soil samples were collected equally from 24 different points of orchard and non-orchard field and were extracted with Mehlich-3 extracting solutions and aqua-regia. Wheat crops from orchard and non-orchard fields were analysed and collected with aqua regia for heavy metal contents. Irrigation water samples were also collected from fresh water irrigation canal (Lower Chenab) for analysis. Results indicated that average metal concentrations in soils of both orchard and non-orchard fields were Cadmium (Cd) 2.36 and 2.49 mg kg-1 and Chromium (Cr) 58.15 and 53.51 mg kg-1 respectively. Contribution of risk from Cd and Cr were significant in wheat (seeds) of orchard. In orchard field, the risk contribution from Cd and Cr were significant in crops seeds. The considerable load of toxic metals in fields revealed the anthropogenic source of pollution. Therefore, it is emphasize that the need of heavy metals monitoring in crops and soils is necessary.

Published: March 2019

In the last two decades, steganalysis has become a fertile research area to minimize the security risks left behind by Misuse of data concealment in digital computer files. As the propagation of hidden writing increased, the need for the steganalysis emerged and grew to a large extent necessary to deter illicit secret communications. This paper introduces a steganalysis system to detect hidden information in images through using co-occurrence matrix, frequency domain transform, the first three moments, and back propagation neural network (BPNN). Four varieties of the system implemented. Firstly, the co-occurrence matrix calculated for the input image, which suspected to be a carrier of hidden secret information. Second, three levels of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) are applied resulting in 12 subbands. Then, those subbands along with the original image are transformed by discrete Fourier transform (DFT) or discrete cosine transform (DCT) to produce 13 subbands. After that, the first three moments are calculated resulting feature vector with 39 features. Finally, BPNN is used as a classifier to determine whether the image is containing hidden information or not. The system is tested with and without co-occurrence matrix, each of them once using DFT and another time using DCT. The results have shown that using co-occurrence matrix with DFT has the highest performance, which was 81.82% on the Hiding Ratio of 0.5 bit per pixel. This work demonstrates a good effect comparing to previous works.

As muslims, we understand that Arabic language is very urgent for thedevelopment and improvement of our religious knowledge and practices. Manymuslim students have willingness to master the language to be able to communicateand understand religious texts, which are mostly written in Arabic. Most of them,however, are not interested in Arabic language class, due to the difficulties in terms ofpronunciation, reading, and writing. Understanding the expressions and grammaticalfeatures (al-Nahwu and Al-Sharf) are the other challenges that the students cannothandle in short time and the themes are boring. In brief, there is an assumption thatstudying Arabic is difficult.The questions, then, are how to change the assumption?, and what are the bestmethod and strategy for students in studying the language in an enjoyable, fun, andsupportive atmosphere? These questions show both reality and challenge, especiallyfor the Arabic language teachers and lecturers, that there is a need to change theconventional teaching of Arabic language and at the same time, to find a new methodand real actions to answer the above questions. This article offers a new method ofteaching which focuses not only on teaching of Arabic language but also enjoyable,fun, and full of spirit atmosphere. The method is called by “outbound using fungames” or “outbound fun games”.

Language is essentially sound. In using Arabic, the sound spoken is related to a certain meaning. A person who has a certain language can recognize the sounds that are coupled, so that they are meaningful speeches. In this case, phonology is a branch of language that talks about the sound of language that is able to distinguish the meaning of a word. The problem that was first encountered by someone in learning oral languages, especially foreign languages ​​and regional languages, was the problem of his speech. Before learning the meaning of various words and the grammar to be faced, first he must recognize the sounds used in them. Sound science as a classical science that has received tremendous attention from the Arabs since its inception. It can be seen from what was done by the lugho scholars including Imam Jahidz. He discussed in detail about Arabic phonetics, the sound of the language, the place where the language came out and its characteristics. Thus, the researcher wanted to discuss the above matters mainly about language sounds according to Jahidz, using qualitative descriptive research methods. The result of this study is al-Jahiz’s thought that sound comes from vibration of human body using lips in oral activity, then there is a transition around the lips which moves to the ears and brain, and finally the vibration is called as vocal. It is divided into psychology and physiology.

Imlā is in the high position among the branches of language. It constitutes an important foundation for written language. Errors in imlā can result in many problems and lead to errors in understanding sentence because of its unclear meaning. Students who are not Arabic speakers encounter many problems when learning this realm. Therefore, it is needed an appropriate method to adapt students language ability with their language level. This study aims to explain several methods of teaching Imla for non Arabic speakers. The suggested method here is adjusted with the four types of imlā, namely: Imlā Manqūl, Imla Manżūr, Imla Masmū’ and Imla Ikhtibāri. Besides it is provided with applicative examples in the teaching of imlā based on certain stages that should be taken by a teacher. Thus the teaching can be carried out pleasantly and satisfy all students  needs in the lesson.This study uses the method of al-waşfi al-taḩlīli, a method that describes the problems that occur, by analyzing the causes and trying to find solutions to these problems.This research shows that the method of al-Nuşush al-Mutakāmilah is more effective and suitable for teaching imlā for non-Arab students, because it contains many positive things for teaching branches of Arabic.
The Implementation of Contrastive Analysis-Based Arabic Learning
Authors: Raswan Raswan
Published: March 2019

As well as other learning process, the successful Arabic learning can be achieved through several steps. This study aims to explain those steps, and it uses library research. Method of this study covers finding data and sources related to the contrastive analysis in Arabic learning; analyzing the data as well as the sources; and drawing conclusion. The approach used in the learning process can be categorized as a learning difficult foreign language, if it is considered as the perspective in understanding the material. The difficult language is particularly the one that has different systems/subsystems with mother tongue. On the other hand, if the approach is considered as a belief, the successful key to achieve is the use of contrastive analysis. We have to work hard to overcome students' learning difficulties by doing contrastive approach and analysis firstly. However, the most significant part is the goal using contrastive analysis. As the result of this study, hopefully learning Arabic occurs progressively, and absolutely the teaching materials and learning steps need teachers’ ability in mastering the contrasted languages. That is the main factor in achieving the learning to be developed further in using this approach.

Expert systems in general are systems that try to adopt human knowledge to computers so that computers can solve problems as is usually done by experts. Or in other words an expert system is a system that is designed and implemented with the help of certain programming languages to be able to solve problems as done by experts. It is expected that with this system, lay people can solve certain problems, either 'a little' complicated or even complicated 'without' the help of experts in the field. As for experts, this system can be used as an experienced assistant. This system diagnoses the types of health problems of liquor users based on the symptoms entered into the system. This developed application aims to determine which liquor users consume by only paying attention to the criteria experienced by liquor users. Using the Nearest Neighbor Method is able to show a measure of certainty about a fact from the existing criteria. System output in the form of search results for liquor users is used by users based on symptoms.

Databases are the main need for every computer application to store, process and modify data. One important problem faced in databases is the availability of adequate information technology infrastructure in managing and securing data contained in the database. Data stored on the database must have protection against threats and disturbances. Threats and disruptions can result from a variety of things, such as maintenance, data damage, and natural disasters. To anticipate data loss and damage, replication of the database system needs to be done. The replication mechanism used by researchers is multi-master replication. The replication technique is able to form a database cluster with replication time of fewer than 0.2 seconds.

Обеспечение комфортными условиями животных в молочном скотоводстве является важной задачей, так как количество полученного молока напрямую зависит от физического и эмоционального состояния коров. Исследования проведены на базе молочно-товарной фермы Удмуртии в 2018 г. Доение коров (184 гол.) производилось в щадящем режиме с помощью 4 роботов-дояров, которых обслуживали посменно 3 оператора. В роботе-дояре предусмотрены электронные весы. Когда корова заходит в робот-дояр, на экране монитора автоматически высвечиваются индивидуальный номер, кличка коровы, живая масса, количество молока по четвертям вымени и общий удой, время доения и т.д., что упрощает работу зоотехника-селекционера. Показано, что удой на 1 корову в сутки за период исследования составил от 23,4 ± 3,9 до 27,9 ± 2,2 кг при интенсивности молокоотдачи от 1,58 до 2,24 кг/мин. За период работы доильных роботов зафиксировано 6,9 % отказов от доения коров. Время подготовки к доению коров в среднем составило 2,14 мин. Среднее время нахождения коров в роботе-дояре за 24 ч составило 11,97 ± 1,56 мин; средний показатель доения коров в сутки — 3,5 раза. Мониторинг работы роботов-дояров показал, что имеется ещё свободное время (22,9 %), что говорит о том, что роботы пока не полностью загружены в связи с недостатком поголовья коров. В целом по ферме занятость роботов-дояров составила только 65,7 %, количество посещений роботов-дояров всего — 1050 раз. После заполнения коровника достаточным количество коров необходимо проводить жесткий отбор коров-первотёлок по морфологическим признакам и функциональным свойствам вымени.

Whereas the term sacrifice means the slaughter of certain animals with the intention of drawing closer to Allah SWT, which is performed on the feast of Idhul Adha or in the days of Tasyrik which is the 11th, 12th and 13th of Dhulhijah. However, in Indonesia the implementation of slaughtering sacrificial animals in each region is carried out differently. Especially giving wages for slaughtering sacrificial animals. This article uses the analytical content method for the syllables' arguments and also uses the field research method, which is to gather information in the field related to the wages of slaughtering sacrificial animal sacrifices that occur in the middle of the community, especially the Tanjung Barulak district. Tanah Datar. The implementation of slaughtering sacrificial animals in the middle of the community is carried out differently. This is because this is a tradition that has been passed down for generations, both wages given in the form of meat, head, feet or parts of sacrificial animals are a reward for people who cut or clean sacrificial animals. The wages were still given but did not take from the sacrificial animal and then replaced the wages in the form of money taken or requested and collected from the sacrificial participants.

The development of a hajj fund that is so great has the potential to be used in supporting the implementation of a better quality Hajj through effective, efficient, transparent, accountable, and in accordance with the provisions of legislation. The strategy that has been taken by the Ministry of Religion to optimize the management of the Hajj fund so that its benefits can be used to improve the quality of Hajj implementation is by developing these funds through investment. But in fact, the dynamics that occur are in the BPIH deposit. When the funds are managed which constitute funds deposited by prospective pilgrims to the government (Ministry of Religion or BPKH) to finance the implementation of their pilgrimage, problems arise regarding the appropriate contract formulation to be used, whether wakalah contract, mudlarabah (profit sharing), or altogether no longer need a contract, because the government acts as a statutory power for prospective pilgrims, as consideration of the decision of the Constitutional Court (MK).
