In modern conditions, the rapid development of the global information society is being formed and taking place. The colossal level of development of network technologies allows users to earn money on the Internet in different ways. So today, earnings from traffic arbitrage is just one of the most profitable types on the Internet. You can make money on advertising on the Internet, if you can attract visitors to a particular site and consistently redirect them to another network portal. The work of an arbitrator is a daily hard work, you need to be constantly looking for new ideas, analyze successful cases and failures. The first large-scale example of the traffic business was the launch of an affiliate program by Amazon in July 1996. At that time, it was not the first, but certainly the most popular on the Internet. For a long time, this program was considered one of the most convenient “entry points” in the field for beginners. But in April 2020, Amazon reduced its commission payments immediately by 80%, making it much less attractive to webmasters. Today, traffic arbitrage is a very promising area in terms of earnings. This is a risky business, because without a competent approach to the case, without analyzing the market situation and without observing the statistics, you can lose a lot of time and money. Buying traffic is already an expense, and whether there will be income and what size is unknown. Even experienced professionals do not immediately make a profit. The article highlights the specifics of traffic arbitrage, webmaster work, CPA network. The essence of the arbitrator’s work, methods of profit and basic principles of work are revealed. The pros and cons, advantages and risks of arbitration in the field of digital marketing are considered. The main steps from which to start a robot in the traffic business are highlighted step by step. Features of work of the arbitrator and CPA-networks are revealed. The answers of the work for the last years according to the scientometric databases Google Scholar and ResearchGate are analyzed. It is determined that traffic arbitrage is a unique and risky field that requires technical skills and analytical skills from specialists. The main components for successful work with traffic are generalized. Various sources of income and the main search engines from traffic arbitrage are described. Traffic sources are analyzed. the corresponding conclusions are made. Insufficient number of scientific works on current trends in traffic arbitrage has been proved.

The article analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the functioning of small and medium-sized businesses in the hotel and restaurant industry. The hotel and restaurant business in Ukraine suffers the most from the restrictions imposed due to the spread of the virus. The established restrictions have both direct and indirect impact on the functioning of small and medium-sized businesses in the hotel and restaurant industry. It is shown that due to the introduced restrictions, the share of the hotel and restaurant business sector in the gross domestic product of Ukraine has significantly decreased, employment in this sector has decreased. During the quarantine restrictions, the hotel and restaurant business faced a number of problems: low access to finance; loss of access to markets; complex regulation and tax pressure. To overcome the problems facing the small and medium business sector in the hotel and restaurant sector, it is necessary to maintain business activity and jobs; increase institutional capacity to operate in markets. Quarantine measures have created a significant negative impact on the work of the small and medium business sector, which may be exacerbated in the absence of government intervention. Quarantine measures have created a significant negative impact on the work of SMEs, which may be exacerbated in the absence of government intervention. A significant problem for the hotel and restaurant business is the rapid restructuring in accordance with the new social standards in a pandemic, which will allow to work and make a profit, as well as to protect their customers from the risk of infection and minimize the threat of COVID-19. The article outlines a number of major problems faced by the hotel and restaurant business during quarantine restrictions and tasks that need to be addressed to overcome them.

Published: September 2021

The article analyzes and summarizes the international experience of regulatory authorities in dealing with transfer pricing risks as one of the basic elements of tax control over taxpayers’ compliance with transfer pricing rules. An efficient process for processing and assessing transfer pricing risks helps to ensure quality selection and increase the effectiveness of audits of controlled transactions, increase the efficiency of the use of limited resources, as well as greater tax certainty and reduce the number of unreasonable audits. As a result of the study: international experience was summarized and an indicative process of processing and assessing transfer pricing risks was determined; the main points of the general approach to the issue of transfer pricing risks, which are currently used in practice by the regulatory authorities of economically developed countries, have been identified; the principles of transfer pricing risk management were determined and the importance of carrying out transfer pricing risk assessment processes on an ongoing and systematic basis was indicated; the approaches to organizing the processing and risk assessment of transfer pricing proposed by the specialists of the OECD, JTPF and the UN are considered. Also, the author of the article proposed to supplement this process with a fifth post-assessment stage, which should include the following three steps (13-15): internal inspection and quality control of risk assessment processes based on the results of transfer pricing audits; improving the list of transfer pricing risk indicators and descriptions of their features and identification methods; training and professional development of specialists in the assessment of transfer pricing risks. In addition, attention was drawn to the need for proper documentation of the processing and risk assessment of transfer pricing. The article also concludes that the processes of processing and assessing transfer pricing risks should be integrated into the processes that are carried out within the framework of the functioning of the general risk management system of both the tax authority and any modern large enterprise (group of enterprises).

Published: September 2021

Promoting sustainable fashion within the circular economy is an important contemporary topic. Experts in design, consumption, business and industry explain how to approach circularity in fashion production and consumption in different ways. Increasingly, new and existing companies are looking for ways to thrive in a competitive environment through innovative business models, taking into account public opinion and avoiding actions that harm the planet. Trends such as the circular economy, fair trade, and sharing policies are among the many new approaches to business that address these issues, but there is still a gap between the theory that argues for levels of environmental and social sustainability and the implementation of these strategies in practice. That is why the study of the current state of the circular economy is relevant. This article presents the principles of the circular economy in terms of fashion. The key aspects of the integration of sustainable development in the fashion industry are considered. Different approaches of new business models for the circularity of the economy are highlighted. The main directions of implementation of sustainability strategies due to business transformation are identified, which requires the construction of a new level of the system and radical innovations.

Generating Program Identifier Dictionary for Maintaining Legacy Systems
Authors: Soga Ryo , Koreki Genta , Kanuka Hideyuki , Ioku Akira , Maeoka Jun
Published: September 2021

Descriptions of program identifiers improve the maintainability of programs. Modern software projects maintain proper descriptions by following coding conventions. However, software projects maintained for a long time have two problems: (i) descriptions at incorrect locations and (ii) no descriptions. We propose the method of generating a identifier dictionary for managing identifiers and their descriptions, which enables developers to refer to identifier descriptions from anywhere within programs. The method involves two steps: (i) extracting identifiers and descriptions from design documents and programs and (ii) generating descriptions using information-retrieval and machine-learning methods. We applied the proposed method to COBOL programs and design documents of a legacy system that has been maintained for over 20 years as a case study. The proposed method obtained the descriptions of 83% of identifiers and reduced the cost of locating files to be modified by enhancing search keywords using the identifier dictionary. This means that the proposed method can improve the maintainability of systems maintained over many years.
Cyber Racism Detection Using Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units and Word Embeddings1
Authors: Fattahi Jaouhar , Ziadia Marwa , Mejri Mohamed
Published: September 2021

Racism is an unequal treatment based on race, color, origin, ethnicity or religion. It is often associated with rejection, inequality, and value judgment. A racist act, whether conscious or unconscious, goes beyond insult and aggression and leaves a devastating psychological effect on the victim. Although almost all laws around the world punish racist acts and speech, racist messages are on the rise on social networks. As a result, there is a strong need for reliable and accurate detectors of racist comments to identify the offenders and take appropriate punitive action against them. In this paper, we propose a model for the detection of racist statements in text messages by Bidirectional Gated Recurrent Units. For the word representation, we use different word embedding techniques, namely Word2Vec and GloVe. We show that this combination works well and provides a good level of detection. At the end of our study, we will suggest new horizons to improve the quality of our model.

Authors: Toledo Edmundo , Gonzalez Jose , Nakano Mariko , Robles Daniel , Hernandez Adrian , Perez Hector , Lanz Humberto , Cime Jorge
Published: September 2021

In this paper, we propose Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM)-based mosquito’s genus classification, in which the time-frequency features are extracted from the wingbeat sound of mosquitos of three genera, Aedes, Anopheles and Culex. The extracted features are fed into the proposed LSTM-based classifier. We evaluated three time-frequency features, which are: Mel Spectrogram, Log-Mel spectrogram, and Mel-frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC). The proposed scheme is composed by two LSTM layers and one Fully Connected layer connected to a SoftMax activation function. The classification accuracies using the three features are 92.97(±0.2)%, 96.71(±0.2)% and 96.65(±0.2)%, respectively. The Area Under Curve (AUC) of the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) for each feature are also obtained, which are 0.9944, 0.9986 and 0.9987, respectively. The proposed classifier requires approximately 62,000 trainable parameters. This number is much smaller than that required for the state-of-arts CNNs, such as AlexNet and Vgg16. This compact configuration of the proposed scheme takes advantage of the mobile and IoT implementation, because the number of trainable parameters is directly proportional to the amount of memory and CPU required.

Published: September 2021

The development of acoustic scenes recognition systems has been a topic of extensive research due to its applications in several fields of science and engineering. This paper proposes an environmental system in which firstly a time-frequency representation is obtained using the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT). The time frequency representation is then represented as a color image using the Viridis color map, which is then inserted into a Deep Neural Network (DNN) to carry out the classification task. Evaluation results using several public data bases show that proposed scheme provides a classification performance better than the performance provided by other previously proposed schemes.
Towards a New Approach for Intelligent BPM Based on Technologies 4.0
Authors: Mejri Sarra , Ayachi Ghannouchi Sonia
Published: September 2021

Traditional Business Process Management (BPM) should take advantage from the innovations brought by technologies such as Social Media, Internet of Things, Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, Augmented Reality, Additive Manufacturing, etc. This leads to the emergence of Intelligent BPM (iBPM) which consists of adding smart technologies and business intelligence to BPM. Selecting the most appropriate and adequate technologies is a complex task in such a harsh environment. Thereby, we propose an approach for selecting the most suitable technologies 4.0 in order to improve business processes effectively in this context of iBPM. For this purpose, it is worth noting that considering performance criteria can help us to integrate a specific intelligent technology to a given business process and it is important to develop an iBPM ontology as a basic step of our approach.

Published: September 2021

The behavior of potassium ion (K+) establishes the repolarization and hyperpolarization states in the cell membrane of trabecular meshwork cells. One of the main proteins that controls this ion is calcium-dependent potassium maxi-channels BKca, their malfunction evoked by tyrosine kinases, destabilize the control of aqueous humor flow and the increase of intraocular pressure, responsible of glaucoma. In the present work, the ionic behavior of ion K+ of trabecular cells is detailed, when genistein and tyrphostin-51 are applied in culture cells. The flow behavior is described by means of mathematical expressions based on exponential functions and equations of line. Genistein and tyrphostin-51 drugs are compared in their efficiency of inhibiting tyrosine kinases from the mathematical functions provided by the proposed method. The present study describes the ion behavior regarding K+ potassium which is controlled by maxi-channels BKca that come from trabecular meshwork when genistein and tyrphostin-51 are applied in culture cells. The behavior of this flow is described by mathematical expressions. Thus, inhibitor drugs effect and characteristic time behavior are compared using their mathematical function.

Published: September 2021

This paper is concerned with the proctor assignment problem. Although there have been many proposed models for solving this kind of problem, it turns out that those models perform well only in their context. Also, no models can solve all problems in any context. Hence, creating a model for a specific problem is essential. In this paper, we define the problem and challenges of assigning proctors at our university as an optimization model. We experiment on two methods: the Generic Algorithm and the Integer Programming, then compare the results. For the Integer programming, we proposed an objective loss called zero-min loss, which minimizes the spans of days the proctors must be at the university during the examination time. Our main result shows that the proposed Integer Programming gives a 2285 higher score in fitness value compare to the Generic Algorithm.
Adaptive Ranking Relevant Source Files for Bug Reports Using Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Bui Thi Mai Anh , Nguyen Nhat Hai
Published: September 2021

Precisely locating buggy files for a given bug report is a cumbersome and time-consuming task, particularly in a large-scale project with thousands of source files and bug reports. An efficient bug localization module is desirable to improve the productivity of the software maintenance phase. Many previous approaches rank source files according to their relevance to a given bug report based on simple lexical matching scores. However, the lexical mismatches between natural language expressions used to describe bug reports and technical terms of software source code might reduce the bug localization system’s accuracy. Incorporating domain knowledge through some features such as the semantic similarity, the fixing frequency of a source file, the code change history and similar bug reports is crucial to efficiently locating buggy files. In this paper, we propose a bug localization model, BugLocGA that leverages both lexical and semantic information as well as explores the relation between a bug report and a source file through some domain features. Given a bug report, we calculate the ranking score with every source files through a weighted sum of all features, where the weights are trained through a genetic algorithm with the aim of maximizing the performance of the bug localization model using two evaluation metrics: mean reciprocal rank (MRR) and mean average precision (MAP). The empirical results conducted on some widely-used open source software projects have showed that our model outperformed some state of the art approaches by effectively recommending relevant files where the bug should be fixed.

Published: September 2021

Vietnamese is a tonal and isolated language. Its highly ambiguity makes the designing of methods for sentiment analysis being difficult. For getting the most effectiveness, the designed method has to analyze sentiment of sentences based on combining the grammar and syllable structures of Vietnamese. In this paper, a method to build a Vietnamese dataset of product reviews with many sentiment levels, including very negative, negative, neutral, positive and very positive, is proposed. This method can be scaled to a large dataset using for analyzing sentiment of product reviews. Moreover, a solution to add more grammar rules of Vietnamese into the pre-processing of sentiment analysis is also constructed. Those rules simulate the sentiment recognition of humans and help to increase the accuracy of sentiment determination. The combination of grammar rules and some methods for sentiment analysis are experimented on the Vietnamese dataset of product reviews to classify them into sentiment-levels. The testing results show that their accuracy and F-measure are improved and suitable to apply in the practical business analyzing of customer behaviors.
Emotion Regulation Music Recommendation Based on Feature Selection
Authors: Gong Xiaoliang , Yuan Ruiyi , Qian Hui , Chen Yufei , Cohn Anthony G.
Published: September 2021

Chinese traditional music has been proved to be effective in emotion regulation for thousands of years. Five different groups of Chinese traditional music which have been proved can regulate different emotions (Angry, Depressed, Feverish, Desperate, Sorrowful) in the literature. 54 audios features are extracted by using the Librosa library for each music group. Five features are manually selected using histogram analysis which show significant difference between the five groups of music. Combined with KNN, SVM and Deep forest classification algorithms, the five manually selected audio features are shown to have better classification performance than traditional feature selection algorithms, like PCA and LDA. We hypothesize that these five significant audio features may be the underlying basis why so such music can effectively perform emotion regulation. Based on this classification models, prototype emotion regulation music recommendation interface (TJ-ERMR) was built that can be used for music therapy. In the future, we will use this classification model to find more music to expand the initial repertoire of our music recommendation system.

Authors: Marchesano Maria Grazia , Vespoli Silvestro , Guizzi Guido , Popolo Valentina , Grassi Andrea
Published: September 2021

Considering a Flow Shop production line in an Industry 4.0 setting where the Cyber-Physical System (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoTs) can be deployed, a newly Performance-based Decentralised Dispatching Rule (PDDR) is proposed. It combines known dispatching rules with the knowledge of the monitored production system state. The goal is to provide a novel dispatching rule based on production line performance oversight. The governance system considers the machine condition in terms of machine utilisation. Regarding the assessment scenario, the proposed rule has been tested and compared with the well-known Short Processing Time (SPT) and the First-In-First-Out (FIFO) rule in a higher generality way by taking into account unforeseen events that may occur in production (such as breakdowns, potential rework, micro-stops, and unplanned machine setups). The simulation results showed interesting results where the flexibility of this rule, as well as its practical use with real hypotheses are its main advantages.
Problem of Inconsistency and Default Consistency Rules
Authors: Šenkýř David , Kroha Petr
Published: September 2021

We investigate inconsistency problem in textual functional requirements specifications. We argue that some sources of inconsistency can be revealed during the very first steps of textual requirements analysis. In this paper, we focus on those facts and rules that domain experts find so obvious that they do not even mention them to the analysts during the discussions about the product to be constructed. However, what is very obvious for stakeholders may not be obvious for analysts. We call such rules default consistency rules. We argue that the lack of the default consistency rules leads to incompleteness in the requirements, and it causes incon- sistency with all its unpleasant consequences. In this contribution, we describe our approach to the problem of how the missing information can be both identified in the original requirements and found in external sources. We show a motivational example and explain our method.
Decay Characteristics of Neutron Excess Sodium Nuclei
Authors: Bevelacqua Joseph
Published: September 2021

In neutron star mergers, neutron excess nuclei and the r-process are important factors governing the production of heavier nuclear systems. An evaluation of sodium nuclei suggests that the heaviest Z = 11 nucleus will have mass 45 with filling of the 2p1/2 neutron shell. A = 36 – 45 sodium isotopes have limited experimental half-life data, but the model predicts beta decay half-lives in the range of 0.551 – 1.31 ms. Based on previous calculations for Z = 9, 10, 20, 26, and 30 systems, these results likely overestimate the half-lives of A = 36 – 45 neutron excess sodium nuclei.

Mangrove species, viz., Avicennia officinalis, Avicennia marina var. acutissima, Avicennia marina (dwarf), Rhizophora mucronata, Sonneratia alba, Aegiceras  corniculatum, Kandelia  candel were chosen for measurement of height of the tree and girth or circumference. The sampling was random and at least 50 records were made. The girth is measured by the tape. The measurement of the height is made with the help of abny level. The Tables 1 to 8 records the values for girth, height and canopy cover as well as for correlation coefficient (r). There correlation between girth and canopy in all the species studied however in case of Avicennia officinalis and Aegiceras corniculatum girth and height show more co-relation than girth and C. cover. The positive co-relation observed between girth and canopy is more or less 0.7 except Avicennia marina (dwarf) Excoecaria agallocha and Aegiceras corniculatum. The co-relation is observed in girth and height is difficult to explain. This case is observed in Avicennia officinalis and Aegiceras corniculatum.

Authors: Khare Swapnil , Pawar Shubhangi , Patil D A
Published: September 2021

Plants have been, since time immemorial, the focus of religious purposes for many human societies worldwide. Because of efficacious use in religious aspects, some plant species are said to be important. Certain plants are held sacred due to their intimate association with special locations like temple courtyards. These locations are easily overlooked for scientific investigations. People are closely associated with the plant-wealth in such places as well although on religious ground. These need to be tapped for indigenous wisdom for human welfare. The present authors inventorised three districts of Khandesh region (Maharashtra) to divulge plantlore. Total 28 species belonging to 27 genera and 21 angiospermic families are presently focussed touching four aspects viz., sacredness, miscellaneous uses, cosmetics and medicinal utilities. The worshippers, trustees and people intimately associated with temples and religious places have been interviewed to tap down traditional ethnobotanical information. This work provides an account of religious and cultural ways of conserving biodiversity. At the same, these places help improve local environment. Further studies in a country like India are desired to unearth the potentials of religious locations.
