A company’s sustainability is driven significantly by its operational efficiency. Operational efficiency plays a significant role in the growth and the profitability of a company. Thus, operational efficiency of a company forms the basis for the metrics known as the Key Performance Indicators(KPIs). These KPIs bridge the concept of performance an operation and a means to measure the same quantitatively. In this work, we used Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) with the Long Short Term Memory(LSTM) cells for projecting the public disclosure data of select General Insurance(GI) companies operating in India to the future. We use this data to calculate the KPIs pertaining to the operations of general insurance companies and calculate how the operations of the GI company affect its performance at various levels. Since this analysis is done for the projected data, we get a framework to assess the sustainability of the GI companies by monitoring these KPIs in real-time. The complex RNN and LSTM algorithms were implemented with the help of the Google Colaboratory platform by using the GPUs of the Google Hardware with the help of the Cloud Computing framework.

A Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is an independent assortment of mobile users that communicate over moderately bandwidth constrained wireless links. MANET’s topology is dynamic that can change rapidly because the nodes move freely and can organize themselves randomly; has the advantage of being quickly deployable. Although numerous routing protocols have been proposed for mobile ad hoc networks, there is no universal scheme that works well in scenarios with different network sizes, traffic loads and node mobility patterns, so mobile ad hoc routing protocol election presents a great challenge. In this paper, an attempt has been made to compare the performance of three routing protocols in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks – Ad-Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) and Destination Sequenced Distance Vector (DSDV). We have evaluated the performance of these routing protocols with varying the number of mobile nodes and packet sizes on the basis of four important metrics such as packet delivery ratio, average end to end delay, normalized routing overhead and throughput. Network Simulator version 2.35 (NS-2.35) is used as the simulation tool for evaluating these performance metrics. The outcome of this research shows that AODV protocol outperforms DSDV and DSR protocols.

The present work aims to estimate the length and width of the seeds, through the analysis of digital images and to validate the methodology through statistical data. To estimate the length and width of seeds via image analysis, 50 M.maripa seeds were used. The seeds were arranged in a decreasing way from 1 to 25 diagonally, on a matte black fabric, on a phenotyping platform, with a Sony Hd Avchd progressive digital Gps camera, coupled at a height of 50 cm. The images were captured by the camera in automatic mode, without flash, automatic ISO speed, in an RGB system and with a size above 2Mb. Soon after the seeds passed the traditional evaluation method with the aid of a digital caliper, measured in terms of length and width. The images were analyzed with the ImageJ software. Statistical analyzes were performed with the aid of the Sigmaplot program. The results of the length and width of the seeds of Inajá seen by the caliper and digital image via camera, were very distant, showing high dispersion and low correlation r = 0.4037 and R² = 0.1629 for length and r = 0.2985 and R² = 0.0891, showing that the Compared data had little similarity. The error between both the methodology was considered low: 3,81063 and 3,769 for the variables of seed length and width. The method of analysis by digital image and caliper for estimating the length and width of Maximiliana maripa seeds showed a low correlation between the two methodologies. The use of image analysis to estimate the length and width of M. maripa seeds is not indicated.

The emulsions are cosmetic and pharmaceutical forms developed for topical use, ideal for the incorporation of active ingredients such as plant extracts, because of a great affinity with the skin when compared with other formulations. However, they are thermodynamically unstable systems and sometimes the addition of active principles can destabilize the system. The Stability study is a tool for the development of products, because when submitting a formulation to different tests, one can evaluate behaviors that indicate storage conditions or even make commercialization impossible. The study used the glycolic extracts of Aloe vera L. which presents mucílago in its composition, used in cosmetology and treatment of burns, Calendula officinalis L. which possesses cicatrizing and anti-inflammatory property, Matricaria Chamomilla L. which has anti-inflammatory feature and antiseptic, and Centella Asiatica L. which has anti-inflammatory, healing and calming properties. The extracts were incorporated into an emulsion and evaluated separately. The choice of extracts was made at random. After the evaluation of the physical-chemical stability and organoleptic characteristics, which lasted 60 days, it was possible to conclude that the emulsion developed with non-ionic self-emulsifying wax (Polavax) is very unstable when added with the glycolic extracts of Aloe vera L., Calendula officinalis L., Matricaria chamomilla L. and Centella asiatica L., not tolerating large temperature variations with changes in viscosity and pH.

Транспорт и вихревой тепловой насос

Published: October 2020

У роботах [1, 2] для транспорту запропоновано застосувати вихровий тепловий насос на штучно створеному вітрові. В результаті показано, що такий вихровий насос перетворює не механічну енергію вітру в електричну потужність, а теплову складову потоку повітря, що прокачується. Розглянуто загальний принцип роботи такого вихрового теплового насоса. Конкретний розрахунок перетворення енергій виконаний для повітряних вітрогенераторів. Вихровий тепловий насос, який може бути застосований на транспорті,  описаний якісними параметрами. У зв'язку з цим виникла необхідність провести розрахунок енергій перетворення вихровим тепловим насосом із застосуванням конкретного електричного двигуна, електричного генератора, повітряного гвинта і лопатей вітрогенератора для транспортних систем.
Вентилятор створює повітряний потік, який впливає на лопаті вітрогенератора, вітрогенератор виробляє потужність більше потужності, споживаної електродвигуном вентилятора і витраченої потужності на подолання сил тертя при обертанні якорів в електромоторах, а також тертя об повітря при обертанні лопатей вітрогенератора.
В результаті проведених досліджень встановлено, що для збільшення захоплюваної поверхні вентилятором необхідно використовувати високооборотний гвинт порівняно великого діаметра, а обертання такого гвинта повинен забезпечувати електромотор з підвищеною потужністю, але це суттєво зменшить коефіцієнт перетворення. Збільшення числа лопаток в вітрогенераторі можливе при зростанні діаметра електрогенератора, що також знижує коефіцієнт перетворення.
Встановлено, що найбільш ефективний спосіб отримання максимального коефіцієнта перетворення енергії - це збільшення швидкості руху потоку повітря до певної межі. Якщо застосувати каскадну схему шляхом розташування двох і більше лопатевих кілець в вітрогенераторі, то різко зросте коефіцієнт перетворення вихрового теплового насоса.
Ключові слова: тепловий насос, вітрогенератор, вентилятор, повітряний гвинт, лопаті, зривний потік.
Моделювання процесу сепарування сипкого матеріалу з частинками сферичної форми
Authors: ДУДАРЄВ Ігор , ГУСЄВ Віктор
Published: October 2020

Сепарування сипких матеріалів – це один із найбільш розповсюджених процесів у харчовій та переробній галузях промисловості. Під час сепарування відбувається розділення сипкого матеріалу на дві фракції або суміші на компоненти. Перебіг процесу сепарування залежить від багатьох факторів, зокрема конструкції сепаратора, способу сепарування, режиму сепарування, фізико-механічних властивостей матеріалу та геометричних характеристик його частинок. Для опису процесу сепарування застосовують метод математичного моделювання. Більшість розроблених моделей є емпіричними, вони дозволяють спрогнозувати перебіг процесу. Також для моделювання процесу сепарування широко використовується метод дискретних елементів (DEM). За допомогою цього методу встановлено, що найбільш впливовими факторами на процес сепарування є висота шару матеріалу та його структура. Тому актуальним завданням наукових досліджень у цьому напрямі є розробка моделі шару сипкого матеріалу, яку б можна було використати для моделювання процесу сепарування матеріалу. Значна частина матеріалів, що переробляються або виробляються, мають частинки сферичної форми або форми, що близька до неї. Відповідно, модель шару матеріалу доцільно розробляти для матеріалів, частинки яких мають таку форму. На основі аналізу моделей шару сипкого матеріалу, а також математичних моделей процесу сепарування сипкого матеріалу, запропоновано воксельну модель шару сипкого матеріалу (суміші). Воксельна модель шару матеріалу, що містить крупні та дрібні частинки сферичної форми, дозволяє змоделювати процес сепарування матеріалу, якщо йому надати горизонтальних лінійних коливань. Математична модель, в основі якої воксельна модель шару матеріалу, дозволяє спрогнозувати значення показника якості процесу сепарування сипкого матеріалу залежно від співвідношення фракцій матеріалу в ньому та висоти шару матеріалу.    
Ключові слова: сепарування, модель шару матеріалу, моделювання процесу сепарування, сепарування сипких матеріалів, сепарування гранульованих матеріалів.

Published: October 2020

La disfonía en edad infantil está presente en el 6 al 23% de los niños entre los 4-12 años de edad y su estudio supone un reto diagnóstico y terapéutico. En Colombia no se ha realizado hasta el momento un estudio sobre la caracterización de las principales patologías que causan disfonía en niños. En nuestra poblaci´ón se encuentra que los nódulos vocales no son la principal causa de disfonía. 

Se analizaron historias clínicas y estroboscopias realizadas a pacientes menores de 18 años con síntomas vocales crónicos (mayores a 4 semanas) que asistieron a consulta de laringología en los últimos 10 años. Posteriormente se realizó un análisis estadístico y descriptivo de las mismas. Se seleccionaron 141 pacientes, de estos, el 73% tuvo lesiones de ambos pliegues vocales, 9.9% lesiones unilaterales y 16.3% disfonía por tensión muscular primaria. La mayoría de las lesiones fueron adquiridas. La patología más prevalente  fue el sulcus vocalis (17.37%), seguido de la disfonía por tensión muscular primaria. El  41,06% de los pacientes se catalogaron como abusadores de la voz, y dentro de este grupo,  los nódulos vocales fueron más frecuentes. 

Este es el primer estudio de su tipo en Colombia y el segundo en latinoamérica, los hallazgos en general son consistentes con la literatura, siendo la única diferencia que la primera causa de disfonía fue el sulcus vocalis. Se vió una relación entre los nódulos y quistes con el abuso de la voz.

Dinámica de la densidad de probabilidad en la región interna de un potencial doble delta de Dirac
Authors: Hernández Maldonado Alberto
Published: October 2020

Con base en soluciones analíticas exactas de la ecuación de Schrödinger dependiente del tiempo, y condiciones iniciales de ondas planas cortadas en el espacio x mediante un obturador cuántico absorbente o reflejante, se analiza el comportamiento dinámico de la densidad de probabilidad electrónica o buildup, en la región interna de un potencial doble delta de Dirac, desde tiempos (dados en vidas medias) muy pequeños, hasta alcanzar la situación estacionaria. Se compara el buildup entre ambos casos, absorbente y reflejante, encontrando que para tiempos cortos el buildup depende de la condición inicial (CI) utilizada, mientras que, para tiempos grandes, es independiente de dicha CI. Usando la CI reflejante, se analiza el buildup desde un tiempo prácticamente cero, hasta que se alcanza la situación estacionaria. Los resultados encontrados pueden ser relevantes en el contexto de la respuesta rápida en los dispositivos conocidos como diodos de tunelaje resonante.

Based on the analysis of vulnerability data for web resources and the CVSS metric, the distribution of the average CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System standard for calculating a numerical vulnerability score on a ten-point scale) score for the websites of theRepublicofBelaruswas studied. The hypothesis on the distribution of the CVSS vulnerability assessment according to Poisson's law was tested by chi-square criteria. It was found that about 10% of web resources from the original general of samples of 19000 size have a critical averaged assessment level of vulnerability. As part of this work an universal system for collecting technical information about active web resources on the Internet from public directories and registries has been developed. Specific search templates have been developed using RegExp JavaScript expressions to detect the versions of technologies that were used to create websites. Based on this data the percentage distribution of used technologies, top-level domains and the geographical location of the servers were calculated. Proposed system can be adapted to any unique conditions required by information security specialists to conduct a security audit of web resources.

Published: October 2020

The quantitative characteristics of information resources for automated information systems (AIS) are proposed in the paper. The entities represented in the AIS by the information object mappings and their components (information unit and information element) are considered. The composition of the system information space is substantiated, which represents the whole amount of information being processed in the system, auxiliary information resources and all data of the system and its users. Application of the quantitative values to AIS information resources characteristics, taking into account the sense properties of information objects being mapped in AIS, will make it possible to raise the design decision making quality of AIS and its performance within the lifecycle.
Website Quality Evaluation Methodology Universal Star: 1st point – “Content”
Authors: Abduganiev S. G.
Published: October 2020

The Internet continues to grow at a fast pace with over 1.5 billion websites in 2019 as compared with only one in 1991. The emergence of enormous websites of various complexities and types makes assessing the quality of these sites a vastly important, difficult and complicated task. With this concern, the current paper proposes a novel approach for website assessment by developing a new Website Quality Evaluation Methodology Universal Star (WQEMUS) with a theoretical and empirical basis. It became possible through the employment of the  grounded  theory  methodology  that  enables  relevant  concepts  to  emerge  from  data. To improve the reliability and validity of the findings, an extensive literature review, in-depth and qualitative interviews, and a user evaluation survey were conducted and associated together. In this way, the study presents the results of the selection and categorization of generic quality attributes for WQEMUS with a three-tier structure, consisting of top-level quality criteria, sub-criteria and indicators. These quality dimensions are grounded on a combination of subjective and objective indicators. Consequently, WQEMUS becomes capable of estimating a wide range of different websites irrespective of domain affiliation and services they provide, including Web 3.0 sites.

Summary. Objective. Development of an algorithm for choosing the method of pancreatojejunoanastomosis in pancreatoduodenal resection, taking into account the degree of change in the pancreatic parenchyma.

Materials and methods. Pancreatoduodenal resection was performed on 291 patients with obstructive diseases of the pancreatoduodenal zone. Three options were used for pancreatojejunoanastomos: invagination ductopancreatojejunal — in 210 (72.4 %), invagination pancreatojejunal — in 68 (23.4 %), pancreatojejunal with bandage repair of the crescent ligament of the liver — in 13 (4.4 %) patients.

Results. The pancreatic parenchyma was assessed by the following factors: puffiness, infiltration, obesity, degree of pancreatic parenchyma fibrosis, location and diameter of the Wirsung duct. High and low risk factors for the development of pancreatic fistula were identified. Diagnosis of pancreatic fistula was carried out according to the classification of ISGPF (2016). A differentiated approach was applied to the choice of pancreatojejunoanastomosis depending on the degree of changes in the pancreatic parenchyma, the diameter and location of the Wirsung duct.

Conclusion. Evaluation of the degree of pancreatic parenchyma changes, the diameter and location of the Wirsung duct allows you to choose the optimal technique for pancreatojejunoanastomosis in pancreatoduodenal resection. The use of a differentiated approach to the choice of pancreatojejunoanastomosis technique for pancreatoduodenal resection, taking into account the degree of change in the pancreatic parenchyma, can reduce the incidence of PF (type B, C).

Summary. The article describes a case of successful treatment of stomach trichobezoar complicated by a perforated stomach ulcer.

Purpose of research. Optimization of diagnostics and treatment of acute surgical pathology of the gastrointestinal tract taking into account a rare etiological factor

Materials and methods. A clinical case of trichobezoar in a pregnant woman, complicated by stomach perforation.

Results and discussion. Attention is drawn to the problems of diagnosis and treatment of rare gastrointestinal diseases that can lead to the development of acute surgical pathology. The awareness of practitioners about the clinic, methods of timely diagnosis, prevention and treatment of this disease was assessed. to solve these tasks, a multidisciplinary approach is required, with the interaction of psychiatrists / psychoneurologists, endoscopists, x-ray diagnostic services and operating surgeons.

Conclusions. The low frequency of cases of gastrointestinal bezoars causes a lack of awareness of practitioners with clinical manifestations, complications and treatment methods.

Untimely diagnosis of GI bezoar can lead to severe complications that require serious surgical intervention.

The probability of bezoars in mentally unbalanced patients suffering from various types of obsessive States is statistically higher than in mentally healthy individuals.
