Published: November 2019

RNA-seq analysis was used to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at the genetic level in the longissimus dorsi muscle from two pigs to investigate the genetic mechanisms underlying the difference in meat quality between Debao pigs and Landrace pigs. Then, these DEGs underwent functional annotation, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment, and protein–protein interaction (PPI) analyses. Finally, the expression levels of specific DEGs were assessed using qRT-PCR. The reference genome showed gene dosage detection of all samples which showed that the total reference genome comprised 22342 coding genes, including 14743 known and 190 unknown genes. For detection of the Debao pig genome, we obtained 14168 genes, including 13994 known and 174 unknown genes. For detection of the Landrace pig genome, we obtained 14404 genes, including 14223 known and 181 unknown genes. GO analysis and KEGG signaling pathway analysis show that DEGs are significantly related to metabolic regulation, amino acid metabolism, muscular tissue, muscle structure development etc. We identified key genes in these processes, such as FOS, EGR2, and IL6, by PPI network analysis. qRT-PCR confirmed the differential expression of six selected DEGs in both pig breeds. In conclusion, the present study revealed key genes and related signaling pathways that influence the difference in pork quality between these breeds and could provide a theoretical basis for improving pork quality in future genetic thremmatology.
Neurocognitive Recovery of Sentence Processing in Aphasia
Authors: Thompson Cynthia K.
Published: November 2019

Purpose

Reorganization of language networks in aphasia takes advantage of the facts that (a) the brain is an organ of plasticity, with neuronal changes occurring throughout the life span, including following brain damage; (b) plasticity is highly experience dependent; and (c) as with any learning system, language reorganization involves a synergistic interplay between organism-intrinsic (i.e., cognitive and brain) and organism-extrinsic (i.e., environmental) variables. A major goal for clinical treatment of aphasia is to be able to prescribe treatment and predict its outcome based on the neurocognitive deficit profiles of individual patients. This review article summarizes the results of research examining the neurocognitive effects of psycholinguistically based treatment (i.e., Treatment of Underlying Forms; Thompson & Shapiro,2005) for sentence processing impairments in individuals with chronic agrammatic aphasia resulting from stroke and primary progressive aphasia and addresses both behavioral and brain variables related to successful treatment outcomes. The influences of lesion volume and location, perfusion (blood flow), and resting-state neural activity on language recovery are also discussed as related to recovery of agrammatism and other language impairments. Based on these and other data, principles for promoting neuroplasticity of language networks are presented.

Conclusions

Sentence processing treatment results in improved comprehension and production of complex syntactic structures in chronic agrammatism and generalization to less complex, linguistically related structures in chronic agrammatism. Patients also show treatment-induced shifts toward normal-like online sentence processing routines (based on eye movement data) and changes in neural recruitment patterns (based on functional neuroimaging), with posttreatment activation of regions overlapping with those within sentence processing and dorsal attention networks engaged by neurotypical adults performing the same task. These findings provide compelling evidence that treatment focused on principles of neuroplasticity promotes neurocognitive recovery in chronic agrammatic aphasia.

Experimental observation of rotary solitary pulses in closed lattice of oscillators with series‐connected tunnel diodes
Authors: Narahara K.
Published: November 2019

Herein, the authors characterise the dynamics of travelling pulses developed in a closed ring of oscillators with two series‐connected tunnel diodes (TDs). The system exhibits multistability, i.e. several different rotation patterns coexist at a specific oscillator bias voltage. Irrespective of the rotation patterns, the oscillation amplitude is doubled by the introduction of two TDs and the phase noise is shown to be reduced significantly by self‐injection locking. Moreover, the bias voltage significantly changes the pulse velocity, resulting in the voltage‐controlled oscillation. These properties of rotary pulses are clarified through both time‐ and frequency‐domain measurements of the test breadboarded circuit.
Multi‐stage coordinated dynamic VAR source placement for voltage stability enhancement of wind‐energy power system
Authors: Chi Yuan , Xu Yan
Published: November 2019

Increased wind power penetration and induction loads have deteriorated the voltage stability performance of the power system. This study proposes a multi‐stage multi‐objective dynamic VAR source placement method for wind energy power system, where three sub‐objectives are optimised simultaneously: (i) investment cost and operational control cost; (ii) steady‐state voltage stability index; (iii) short‐term voltage stability index. This method coordinates the dynamic VAR allocation decisions with preventive and corrective stability controls, including wind power curtailment, modification of the line drop compensation, and load shedding, to improve both steady‐state and short‐term voltage stability of the system. A robust parameter design technique called Taguchi's Orthogonal Array Testing is used to model the wind power uncertainty. Pareto optimal solutions are obtained for flexible decision‐making. The computation burden is mitigated by candidate buses selection and critical contingency identification. The proposed model is demonstrated on the New England 39‐bus test system using PSS®E. Compared with conventional approaches, it can achieve higher voltage stability level with less overall cost and moderate wind power curtailment, and at the same time avoid the conservativeness of planning decisions.
Multi‐path unequal clustering protocol based on ant colony algorithm in wireless sensor networks
Authors: Wang Weijing , Tong Guoxiang
Published: November 2019

For the requirement of low power consumption in wireless sensor networks, from the point of view of prolonging the life cycle of the whole network and improving the utilisation rate of the network, this study proposes a LEACH‐EA protocol based on LEACH algorithm. In order to increase the probability of being elected as a cluster head node so that more nodes in the network can share the transmission energy equally, the residual energy factor and the influence factor of node distance are added to the cluster head election threshold. Considering the energy loss of single‐hop transmission and the limitation of single‐hop transmission on the maximum transmission distance of equipment, the ant colony algorithm is used to find the optimal transmission path for nodes iteratively. Finally, by comparing with LEACH, MODLEACH, LEACH‐GA, simulation experiments show that LEACH‐EA protocol has significantly improved in network life cycle, total network data transmission and cluster head number. The network utilisation rate of LEACH‐EA is 431.3, 135.7 and 38.6% higher than the other three algorithms, respectively.
Modelling of technological processes in a dairy cattle herd
Authors: Cupiał Michał , Makulska Joanna
Published: November 2019

The paper presents a model of a technological processes in cattle herd. The concept of developing a model and its implementation was presented in a computer program. It was assumed during construction of a model that the herd consists of particular animals in different age, condition, and which function partially independently from each other. Various events influence a behaviour of model components, including random events which occur with a specific probability. For those units, in the time function detailed rates are calculated. A group of units forms a herd for which group rates are calculated. The developed theoretical model was implemented in the computer program SegaeM which enables calculation of rates which describe a herd and visualization of changes that take place in time.
The role of innovative policy in creating system services to support development of agri-food enterprises
Authors: Gródek-Szostak Zofia
Published: November 2019

One of the most important objectives of the innovation policy of both developed and developing countries is the development of national and regional innovation systems. These are institutions and skills that aim to introduce innovations increasing competitiveness of the economy and improving the quality of life in society. Maintaining economic growth based on building a knowledge-based economy requires increasing the economic potential, mainly through increasing productivity and innovation. What is important in creating the innovative potential of the Polish economy is the fact that the large size of the Polish market, combined with the low level of openness to trade isolates domestic companies from their international competition. Domestic markets products and services are among the least liberalized in the EU and OECD. Polish companies may be sufficiently profitable in the domestic market, and therefore the pressure to compete with their counterparts abroad through investments in innovation and R&D, is lower. An important role in building an innovative economy is played by the business environment institutions providing specialized services to support the development of enterprises. Between these entities that are a part of the entrepreneurship support system in Poland, there are numerous organizational and competence links. The aim of this study is to determine the course of action for activities undertaken in the framework of innovation policy, which are aimed at creating system support for the development of the agri-food sector. The idea behind the study was to verify the hypothesis that the availability of the system services affects the increase of competitiveness, profitability, or viability and potential of the agri-food sector. The object of the study was a pilot service in the field of marketing and sales of products for micro and small companies in the agri-food processing industry. It was carried out based on the system project of the Polish Agency for the Development of Entrepreneurship (PARP), “Providing enterprises with access to new services of the National Service Network (KSU),” financed under Sub-measure 2.2.1 of the Operational Programme Human Capital 2007-2013.
RuleML-based mechanism of building information models verification
Authors: Makisha Elena
Published: November 2019

The issues of automated verification of design results based on information models have been raised recently by scientists and specialists from different countries, including the Russian Federation. Interoperability of expertise based on information models of objects should be provided using open formats for the presentation and exchange of the data. Each software that performs the functions of information modeling, as a rule, stores the results of the work in files of its proprietary format. IFC allows exchanging information about the geometry, attributes and relationships between the elements of information models of capital construction, that is, provides the transfer of all types of information stored by the information model. The MVD (Model View Definition) format is used to specify the subset of data volume that is used to solve a particular problem. RuleML is a system of families of modeling languages web of rules designed for the purpose of uniform presentation and exchange of the main types of web rules and logic between different platforms. BCF (BIM Collaboration Format) is an open standard maintained and distributed by buildingSMART that allows for various information modeling applications sharing information about issues related to IFC models that were previously shared by project participants.

Published: November 2019

The Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) has become an index of efficiency in terms of the use of machinery, equipment and production resources. It allows entrepreneurs to learn where to look for modest losses, and can be used to eliminate them. The main purpose of determining the OEE is to confront the theoretical use of machinery with the actual one, using a relationship of three main elements: availability, use and quality. The purpose of the paper is to present the experience of the use of the OEE in optimization of production processes in a production company. The most important factor in analyzing the overall effectiveness index of the equipment is choosing the right method for collecting and processing data. The best-known method is filling in of a worksheet by line employees. An analysis was carried out in a production company, determining the SLE production line performance index and using Pareto analysis results, based on data from May 2014 to June 2015. The bestperforming component of the OEE is quality, the value of which has not dropped below 95% over the period considered.

Authors: Kowalczyk Zbigniew
Published: November 2019

The paper analyses the detailed structure of the environmental footprint of technologies used for potato production on plantations covering areas of various sizes. The research was conducted for potato cultivation in Lesser Poland. In order to determine the environmental impact with the LCA method, the SimaPro application was used, ver. 8.1.0.60. The “cradle-to-gate” approach was adopted, taking into account the type of technological practices, as well as machines, duration of their operation, number of seed potatoes, fertilisers, pesticides, used fuel and water. The final results were referred to the area of cultivation (1 ha). It was, for instance, found that one of the greatest impact factors of potato cultivation affecting the natural environment is the use of seed potatoes and relatively high consumption of diesel.
Assessment of the possibility of implementing the GLOBAL G.A.P. standard in selected beanproducing farms in western Kyrgyzstan
Authors: Niemiec Marcin , Komorowska Monika
Published: November 2019

The objective of this study was to assess the potential of implementing GLOBAL. G.A.P. in bean-producing farms in the region of Talas in northern Kyrgyzstan. The assessment concerned the analysis of non-conformities with the GLOBAL G.A.P. standard in farms that had implemented the standard but had not been certified. The detailed objective was to identify critical areas in implementing said standard. To achieve the objective established, research was conducted in 2018. The research covered 112 farms that produce beans (local variety called ‘Łopatka’). Internal audits were carried out in the examined farms, in accordance with the checklist of the GLOBAL G.A.P. standard version 5.1. The results of the conducted research indicate that at the current level of agricultural development and awareness of farmers from Kyrgyzstan, implementation of the GLOBAL G.A.P. standard is going to be very difficult. Problems apply both to infrastructure and to producers’ mentality. Problems with infrastructure concern primarily the places to store plant protection products as well as mineral and organic fertilizers. Moreover, the identified non-conformities concerned adequate infrastructure serving for segregation and management of waste (both production waste and municipal waste). With respect to hygiene, problems concern both lack of sanitary infrastructure, as well as producers’ mentality associated with the need for maintaining hygiene. In most cases, the issue of the possibility of improving the condition of the environment within the farm’s premises is omitted. With respect to production technology, using organic and mineral fertilizers is problematic. In no case was water, soil or products analyzed, which is obligatory in the standard being discussed. A considerable problem in the area of the study is lack of support from government entities or companies dealing with efficient implementation of the standard. Effective development of the standard also depends on educating at the level of producers, inspectorate bodies, as well as on introducing quality management courses at individual education levels to the curriculum.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has set the goal of gambiense-Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) elimination as a public health problem for 2020 and interruption of transmission in humans for 2030. In this context, it is crucial to monitor progress towards these targets using accurate tools to assess the level of transmission in a given area. The aim of this study was to investigate the relevance of the immune trypanolysis test (TL) as a population-based bioassay to evaluate Trypanosoma brucei gambiense transmission in various epidemiological contexts. Significant correlations were observed between HAT endemicity levels and the percentage of TL-positive individuals in the population. TL therefore appears to be a suitable population-based biomarker of the intensity of transmission. In addition to being used as a tool to assess the HAT status at an individual level, assessing the proportion of TL positive individuals in the population appears as a promising and easy alternative to monitor the elimination of gambiense HAT in a given area.
Remarks on path factors in graphs
Authors: Zhou Sizhong
Published: November 2019

A spanning subgraph of a graph is defined as a path factor of the graph if its component are paths. A P≥n-factor means a path factor with each component having at least n vertices. A graph G is defined as a (P≥n, m)-factor deleted graph if G–E′ has a P≥n-factor for every E′ ⊆ E(G) with |E′| = m. A graph G is defined as a (P≥n, k)-factor critical graph if after deleting any k vertices of G the remaining graph of G admits a P≥n-factor. In this paper, we demonstrate that (i) a graph G is (P≥3, m)-factor deleted if κ(G) ≥ 2m + 1 and bind(G) ≥  2/3 - $ \frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{4m+4}$; (ii) a graph G is (P≥3, k)-factor critical if κ(G) ≥ k + 2 and bind(G) ≥ $ \frac{5+k}{4}$.
Integration as Didactic Prerequisite for Creating Situations of Axiological Choice to be Made by Students
Authors: Brizhak Zinaida , Kolesina Karina , Mironenkova Natalya
Published: November 2019

Schooling helps to take on the image of “Self” by integrating the meanings and narratives of our culture, identifying oneself with its values, including social ones. Integration is viewed by the authors as a process bringing multifarious meanings together, into a single interface between the meanings of various subjects and objects of the pedagogical process. It is proved that such approach encourages students to make a certain axiological choice, the first manifestation of meaning. Selected elements of pedagogical process - problems, problems-antinomies, events, concrete facts, personalization - combine various contents, make them into a single whole, creating prerequisites for axiological choices. It was found that the greater is the meaningful potential of integrated knowledge in the choice situations, the higher is the personal relevance of the problem for the student; events, specific facts and “acting out the characters” should affect the emotional and aesthetic sphere of the student. Due to this the axiological choice will be based on inner emotion, experiencing which is an indispensable prerequisite of personality development

Authors: Berberyan Asya
Published: November 2019

In the current article, the assumptions are proposed based on the analysis of theoretical sources and on the perspective of considering the semantic field of a humanistically oriented educational environment as a complex of elements that reveal the willingness and humanistic position of subjects. The research hypothesis lies in the assumption that such components of the “Self-concept” as creativity, intentionality, authenticity, and the desire for self-actualization contribute to the formation of teachers’ readiness for designing a humanistically oriented educational environment. The purpose of the study is to study the components of teachers’ readiness for constructing a humanistically oriented educational environment. The results of the experimental study testified to the expansion of semantic boundaries and awareness of the subjective significance of higher values, as well as to the willingness of teachers to design a humanistically oriented educational environment.

Published: November 2019

The article deals with the categories of competency as the ability to apply knowledge, skills and personal qualities for successful and future professional activities and students’ professional-subjective attitude as an integrative personality trait, manifested in the willingness to master professional experience and based on the independent development of professional and personal qualities through initiative inclusion in creative professionally oriented activities. The formation of a professional-subjective attitude provides the basis for the development of professional competencies, which, in turn, are the key goal and the result of the educational process. The paper proposes a model for the formation of the professional-subjective attitude of the medical university students. The motivational, cognitive, professional-practical and professional-medical components are distinguished. The motivational component includes the motivation of a student to learn, to get a profession, to form a professional-subjective attitude and also involves self-estimation of the attitude by the student himself. The cognitive component considers the process of forming a professional-subjective attitude in the student’s educational activity (moreover, this process is conscious). The professional-practical component involves the formation of a professional-subjective attitude of students through activities in the educational environment attitude and problems solving.

Published: November 2019

This article discusses the need for adequate perception and interpretation of emotional states and expressions of students in the process of pedagogical interaction. The connection has been found between the emotional expression of students and their ethnic, social and cultural identities. Based on the research findings of the emotional space of the population in the Russian Far East (Kamchatka territory and Magadan region), the authors demonstrate the specifics of emotional states of students, conditioned by the harsh climate and extreme living conditions, including seismic activity, permafrost and other. The article suggests the ways of forming teachers’ professional skills and knowledge, necessary for a successful professional career in ethnically diverse regions with a high level of natural and technological risks. These include such as: special courses as part of the general curriculum, attending national celebrations, local history museums, familiarity with folklore, decorative and applied arts, which objectify ethnic mentality. This will increase the level of competences of teachers in interpreting emotional states and expressions of teachers.

Testing of the questionnaire was carried out on 400 respondents. Standardization took place in several stages: calculating the reliability of the questionnaire; calculation of the validity of the questionnaire.

The paper is devoted to studying regional identity as a psychological interconnection with the territory of residence. The objective of the research is studying the peculiarities of an inhabitant’s mental representation of the childhood experience of this psychological interconnection. The research is based on the narrative method. As a result of factor analysis, the following six factors were specified in the psychological structure of the regional identity experience representation: “Activity”, “Estrangement”, “Readiness”, “Satisfaction”, “Regulativity”, “Modality”. Proceeding from the two samples compared, the following peculiarities of the childhood regional identity experience were revealed. Those who experienced regional identity in the childhood are more deeply involved in the experience, without isolating themselves from the internal and external circumstances that entailed the experience; they demonstrate a more positive attitude and are open to such experience. It appears that regulativity of the regional identity experience serves as a resource for its formation in youth. The obtained results can create the basis of a psychology pedagogy program of children’s regional identity formation (including migrant children) realized in educational organizations.
