One of the disadvantages of the electrochemical capacitor (EC) or supercapacitor compared with batteries is its low specific energy. It limits of EC to meet the energy needs of the electrical-electronic devices, such as electric cars. To overcome those limitations, it needs a serial circuit to increase the voltage range, and parallel circuits to increase the storage capacity. Practically, the module that built from 2-6 pieces of 2.5V EC cells will not feasible to make the module with the voltage of 5-15 V. It was found that the voltage of the EC cell could decreases to about 2.0 V, so that the capacitance of the module significantly reduced. This paper reports the basic methods that can be applied to overcome these problems by using a stabilizing or balancing component. The balancing components used in this study were a resistor, a Zener diode, and a Schottky diode. Each component was attached to every EC cell. The influence of the Zener and Schottky diode was observed as a component of a blocking diode. The results showed that the use of a 100-ohm resistor and Zener diode reduces voltage peaks while the use of blocking diode modules leads to increased discharge time. In general, there was no significant change in the charging time, both with and without the balancing and blocking component.

The education of younger schoolchildren is a responsible job, since younger schoolchildren form character traits, lay the foundations of knowledge, beliefs, worldview, moral guidelines. Therefore, education issues require close consideration.

Theoretical research methods were used in the work: abstraction, that is, the process of education in the school was considered in isolation from family education and other factors that actually affect the younger student; and the method of mental modeling is to mentally simulate the situation when the educational process proceeded according to one scenario, for example, the opinion of the teacher was expressed without the student’s readiness to perceive the information according to another scenario, when the teacher took into account the characteristics of the child and the environment.

The result of the research was the allocation in a broad topic of school education of several key points that teachers should pay attention to.

Published: January 2020

The article is devoted to the study of the state of homeostasis systems in patients with infectious eczema and the establishment of the relationship of the hemostatic system and immune status in the patient’s body. Examination of 108 patients with infectious eczema aged 18 to 65 years living in the southern region of Ukraine showed hypercoagulation changes in the hemostatic system and immune imbalance, which depend on the severity of the disease and play an important pathogenetic role in the onset and progression of this pathology. We have established close pathogenetic mechanisms of the relationship between the immune system and the hemostatic system (changes in the vascular-platelet link are associated with changes in humoral immunity – the content of, circulating immune complexes IgE), and coagulation hemostasis disorders – with indicators of cellular immunity (CD3 +, CD4 +, CD8 +, immunoregulatory index). Identified violations of hemostasis and immune status indicate the need to develop a pathogenetically substantiated method of complex individualized therapy for patients with infectious eczema.

As a result of the study, specific mental and behavioral disorders due to alcohol use in ATO participants were determined taking into account the levels and style of alcohol consumption. The relationship between disorders due to alcohol consumption and the consequences of combat psychological trauma is shown. It has been established that, on the whole, the transition from the conditions of a positional war to the conditions of a peaceful life is accompanied by a decrease in alcohol consumption (by individuals independent of it), a decrease in the level of harmful consequences, an improvement in mental status and a slight improvement in the quality of life, however, there are exceptions to this rule, especially with regard to stressful disorders - the level of exposure to a stressful event remains almost unchanged. Neither the army men nor the demobilized military found any adaptive (useful) medium- and long-term effects of alcohol (the transient anxiolytic and hypnotic sedative effects of alcohol have no long-term positive results (as opposed to negative ones). Psychopathological factors that affect disorders due to alcohol consumption remain almost unchanged during the transition from combat conditions to peaceful life, the influence of only certain components changes. Therefore, measures aimed at preventing maladaptation (that is, the formation of new and exacerbation of existing mental and behavioral disorders, including drug addiction) should adhere to the principle of continuity.It is advisable that between specialists and institutions suitable for the hygiene of the military and the demobilized, as high quality communication as possible is maintained along the methodological guidelines for the provision of medical and rehabilitation assistance. A significant level of consumption of psychoactive substances among combatants may indicate an unmet demand for adaptogens (both chemical and non-chemical origin), the use of which would not lead to the negative consequences of alcohol and other surfactants. This is a challenge for modern military psychopharmacology, military psychology and military psychophysiology.

Published: January 2020

In the main group (n = 20; 39.4 years ± 4.1 years; 71.4 kg ± 4.3 kg, I–II ASA) asynchronous intrathecal anaesthesia (AIA) 10 mg of hyperbaric bupivacaine in combination with 0.06 mg of buprenorphine was administered in patients with inguinal hernia repair. The control group (n = 20; 42.6 years ± 0.9 years; 75.4 kg ± 3.6 kg, I–II ASA) received synchronous intrathecal anaesthesia (SIA) 15 mg with isobaric bupivacaine in combination with 0.06 mg of buprenorphine during similar operation. The AIA and SIA provided effective pain relief for operations with long postoperative analgesia. In the AIA group, a hemodynamics was stable due to the lateral rather than bilateral sympathetic block, in contrast to the CIA. Improving the quality of analgesia allowed an early activation and enteral nutrition of patients, as well as a shortened rehabilitation period. An intrathecal administration of bupivacaine supplemented with buprenorphine was characterized by a significantly smaller number of negative side effects compared with the corresponding administration of other opioids.

The number of people with cardiovascular diseases has increased significantly in recent years. According to statistics, diseases of the cardiovascular system occupy one of the first places among other diseases. One of the main pathologies in cardiology is hypertension. Treatment of arterial hypertension for a long period remains an important medico-social and economic task, a heavy financial burden falls on the patient himself or on the health care system, in the case of free distribution of drugs. The group of antihypertensive drugs is one of the most expensive, which raises the question of cost-effective therapy. Clinical and economic research that combines analysis of clinical efficacy and affordability is necessary for evidence-based, rather than empirical, choice of the drug. The most acceptable method of assessing the clinical significance of various drugs is a «cost-effectiveness» analysis. The article is devoted to the conducted pharmacoeconomic research, giving a comparative assessment of various enalapril generics. The objective of the work was to identify and justify the use of the most clinically effective and cost-effective generic drugs enalapril. The methodological basis of the research was the modern concept of marketing research of the drug market, the methodology of system analysis and scientific forecasting of economic phenomen. In the process of research, the methods of system, sociological, economic and statistical analysis, including absentee questionnaires, were used. As a result, sales of cardiovascular drugs on the pharmaceutical market were analyzed, the structure of enalapril generic consumption in health facilities was studied, and a pharmacoeconomic analysis («cost-effectiveness» method) of antihypertensive treatment of enalapril generics was conducted.
From Victim to Villain
Authors: Emanuel Martin
Published: January 2020

This article employs a social practice approach to analyze the boom and bust of cycling in Stockholm around 1980, in the context of broader socioeconomic trends and under the influence of new cyclists, bicycle innovation, and local traffic policy. Within a predominantly car-based city traffic regime, which rendered some mobility practice more legitimate than others, measures intended for cyclists were taken at the expense of pedestrians rather than motorists. Because of a blend of more cyclists, faster bicycles, and design choices based on the car as norm, the image of the cyclist transformed from that of the victim (of automobility) to the villain, and, for this reason, cycling was less easily supported by local politicians. Combined with the second wave of automobility in the 1980s, bicycle policy and planning lost its steam, and cycling declined.
From Epistemology of Suspicion to Racial Profiling
Authors: Hertz Gal
Published: January 2020

Hans Gross (1847–1915), the founder of Austro-Hungarian criminology, developed an epistemology of suspicion that targeted and profiled individuals as well as social and ethnic groups based mainly on their uprootedness and displacement. The scientific practices of observation and analysis he implemented in criminal investigations were anchored in epistemological assumptions that redefined and questioned both the object of study (namely, the criminal) and the subject (the investigator). By transferring scientific ideas and methods from the natural and social science into police work and judicial processes, Gross’s study of crime merged biological and social perspectives. This meant the categories of deviancy were attached to foreignness and social difference, migration and effects of urban life. His epistemology was underlined by social Darwinism, and his forensics, far from being an objective study, advocated what is today known as racial profiling.

A Phenomenological Exploration of Efficacious Teachers' Experience with Instructional Challenges
Authors: Aamir Syed Muhammad , Shahzad Saqib
Published: January 2020

This psychological phenomenological study explored the challenges experienced by five efficacious teachers during instruction at a suburban government higher secondary school in Pakistan. The data collected through semi structured interviews was analyzed through Moustakas phenomenological data analysis plan. It was determined that the participants could not utilize their efficacy skills because of the challenges like poor supervision and no accountability by the principal, overcrowded classrooms and faulty paper marking by the fellow teachers. Further discussions led us to conclude that the said challenges in their triple impact resulted in an environment favorable for the growth of a habitual non-professional attitude in teachers because of which they could not show any efforts like commitment and resilience against them so as to justify their efficacy beliefs. On these bases, some suggestions were made to be seriously considered for the removal of the hurdles that thwart teachers from the efficient delivery of their performance during instruction.

Para tanto, faz uso de um checklist em que atribui “1” quando a informação estava divulgada e “0” quando não localizada nas Demonstrações Financeiras Padronizadas. Os dados indicam que não há uniformidade quanto as publicadas, em especial da Demonstração do Resultado Abrangente (70%), o que limita as informações sobre a situação econômica, financeira e patrimonial dos Clubes e compromete a tomada de decisão. Os registros das receitas e gastos com desporto, por atividade, ainda carece de atenção, quanto ao confronto entre receitas, custos e despesas. A composição dos gastos efetivados pelos Clubes, por categoria de atleta, também é limitada e limita a tomada de decisão dos investidores nas categorias de base. As informações apresentadas em Notas Explicativas são limitadas quanto aos direitos e obrigações contratuais não-passíveis de registro para atividades desportivas e de contingências ativas. Os dados indicam que 50% dos Clubes aderem a ITG 2003(R1), em especial o “Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas” (78,38%), “Clube de Regatas do Flamengo” (78,38%), “Fluminense Football Club” (70,27%) e “Cruzeiro Esporte Clube” (70,27%).

Published: January 2020

Energy efficient houses consume less energy while maintaining or improving the comfort conditions of occupants. Energy efficient buildings result in less environmental impact and are economically and environmentally sustainable. Residential buildings account for the majority of electricity consumption in Nigeria. Because of the poor state of energy generation and transmission in Nigeria energy efficiency measures are necessary to reduce the energy required in houses. This would substantially reduce the dependence on the grid electricity supply. Energy efficient buildings have tremendous benefits in social, economic, and environmental terms. In economic terms the production of energy-efficient buildings result in growing market demand with higher quality and innovative buildings, and in social terms it leads to improved urban space and local climate, and liveable buildings. Energy efficient buildings also ensure resource efficiency, and reduction of Green House Gas emissions. Energy efficiency in buildings starts from the design of buildings, and through to construction and operation. The objective of this paper is the examination of energy efficiency in housing in Nigeria and its impact upon socio-economic development in the country. The paper focuses on energy-efficient design strategies, and initiatives to achieve low carbon emission in housing in Nigeria The paper examines the housing situation in Nigeria and the phenomenon of urbanisation which has led to unplanned urban growth, grievous housing poverty, slum formation, and near collapse of urban services and infrastructure particularly electricity supply. It affirms the need to adopt energy efficiency in housing and it examines passive design strategies and low carbon initiatives in housing construction. It takes a critical look at the adoption of sustainability practices in housing. The paper asserts that energy efficiency would enhance the growth of electricity consumption and boost the socio-economic development of the country. The paper concludes that energy efficiency is capable of engendering socio-economic development of the country particularly productivity and income growth.

In the phenomenal urban growth of cities Nigeria has experienced poor and haphazard urban planning. The cities are generally characterized by poor and inadequate and inefficient urban services and infrastructure. Energy use is closely related to the level of productivity in business and other activities. A primary challenge to the business environment in Nigeria is the deficit in infrastructure. The estimated energy need for Nigeria is 98,000MW per day. The country however generates an average of 3,500MW daily only. The result is an alarming shortage of 94,500MW daily. The low power supply makes electricity costly. Consequently the operating costs for businesses are usually high as electricity is indispensable in the running of businesses. The objective of this paper is the examination of the use of renewable energy in Nigeria particularly with regard to building an enabling business environment in Nigeria. This is in view of the incidence of urban poverty experienced in the country and its impact on the Nigerian business climate. The paper examines the urbanisation process in Nigeria and the resultant socio-economic downturn emanating from it. It asserts that phenomenal urban poverty, particularly infrastructural decay such as electricity supply has been experienced in the country which has been a handicap to the growth of the business environment in the country. The paper examines the energy situation in the country, and electricity generation and distribution. It critically examines an alternative direction of energy production and transmission in Nigeria, which is the resort to resources of renewable energy. Nigeria has an abundance of the resources such as solar, wind, hydroelectricity, and biomass. Policies, programmes, and strategies of renewable energy are examined in the paper. The paper concludes that the development would be an important key to building an enabling business environment in Nigeria.
Research application coal material is prepared from maccadamia peel and denatured by H2O2 to treat methylene blue
Authors: Trung Dao Minh
Published: January 2020

Macadamia shell contains a carbon content (47 - 49%), in addition, the shell contains 46.52% Oxidation, Hidro 6.10%, Nitrogen 0.36% and relatively low ash content of only 0.22%, this indicates the grain Macadamia has the potential to become activated carbon thanks to the above characteristics. This study was conducted to modify activated carbon by oxidizing agents to change the surface structure of activated carbon from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, non-polarizing to polarization, increasing the amount of adsorption simultaneously creating more durable links between dyes and activated carbon. Study of Methylene Blue wastewater treatment with coal from Maccadamia shell modified with H2O2 agent at H2O2 ratio : coal = 10:1. Research results show that Methylene Blue adsorption capacity reaches 1g /266,26mg Methylene Blue at optimal conditions corresponding to 25% concentration and 48 hours of soaking time. Analysis of infrared spectra showed that coal is modified by H2O2 agent with functional groups –OH, Carboxylic functional group C=O, group C-H in NH3, C–N group in Amine aliphatic or in Alcohol or Phenol and C–O bonding. Modified coal by H2O2 oxidation agent has Methylene Blue color treatment efficiency of 93.26%, corresponding to the original color of 474.67 Pt - Co at the respective optimal conditions pH = 8.5, dose of 1 g/L and treatment time of 60 minutes. Research results are similar to other research results and are applicable to color wastewater treatment.

Abstract

Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) or clubfoot is a congenital deformity that involves an abnormal position of the calcaneonaviculare complex. "Bangla clubfoot tool score system" is an assessment that indicates the effectiveness of CTEV management. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the management of CTEV on children's ability to walk as assessed by the Bangla clubfoot tool score system.

A cross sectional study was conducted at the Hospital Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang. There were 24 CTEV patients who received CTEV management before the age of 3 years and were not associated with a neurological disorder. A comparison of the average total Bangla clubfoot score tool system was analyzed by assessing parental satisfaction, walking ability and clinical examination.

The majority of CTEV patients were women (58.3%) with and mostly being treated before 1 year old (79.2%). The most types of CTEV were bilateral (70.8%), and most of them performed surgery (66.7%). Assessment with the Bangla clubfoot tool system shows that the level of parental satisfaction is sufficient, gait is good, but physical foot examination is poor (20%). The score is influenced by age at first therapy and compliance using the brace.

Parents must continue to support their children to undergo integrated management after therapy to maintain their walking ability.
Behavioral economics and DSGE-modeling
Authors: Shults D. N.
Published: January 2020

The article considers the “behavioral” modification of the standard DSGE model proposed by X. Gabaix. In his model, agents behave in a boundedly rational manner, showing incomplete attention to macroeconomic statistics. Moreover, unlike other attempts to abandon the hypothesis of rational expectations in favor of a model of adaptive and/or static expectations, the Gabaix model is initially constructed taking into account the inattention of economic agents to macro variables. The consequence of bounded rationality is that monetary policy is less effective (compared to the model of rational expectations) and, conversely, fiscal policy is effective due to the fact that Ricardo equivalence is not fulfilled. If the inertia of inflation expectations is taken into account in the Gabaix model, it demonstrates that the interest rate has a positive effect on inflation in the long run. Bayesian estimates for the rationality coefficient in the Russian economy are presented. Moreover, attention to inflation is much lower than attention to the variable of economic activity.

Published: January 2020

This article analyzes the key patterns of the dividend policy and the problem of the “dividend puzzle” in the general context of the development of the stock market in Russia. The article consists of two parts.

In the first part we summarize main research trends of dividend policy in modern economic theory (the classical Modigliani—Miller theory of dividend irrelevance, agent and signal hypotheses, the smoothing model, the catering theory, etc.). We emphasize the theoretical analysis of motivation of the largest Russian companies for profit allocation and dividend payout, based on a sample of 236 joint stock companies. Since 2012, a steady increase in dividend payments has been revealed in both private and state-owned enterprises (SOEs). The bulk of dividend payments from SOEs accounts for only 12 major companies. Along with an increase in the market value, dividends have become an important factor in the total return on shares. Under current conditions, the probability of paying dividends depends not only on the size of the company and indicators of its’ financial stability, but also on the presence of the state in the capital of companies. However, the relationship between the probability of paying dividends and state participation in the ownership structure is not universal and can be explained by specific factors that go beyond the classical dividend theories.

In the second part we will analyze the patterns of stock market performance and dividend policy of the largest Russian companies, motivation for dividend payouts and special aspects of SOEs policy.
Analysis of Elemental Cost Variation of Building Construction Projects in Nigeria
Authors: Tochukwu Igwe Anthony , oke Dr. Abdulganiyu
Published: January 2020

Cost performance is the fundamental criteria for success of any project. Most projects face huge amount of cost variations in Nigeria construction industry. Its performance is based on the three major parameters which include, cost, time and quality. This research was carried out to analyze elemental cost variation in building construction projects in Abuja Nigeria. Secondary data was obtained for the study and analysed using ANOVA, correlation, and regression. The result shows that the most critical factors that contribute to cost variation include unstable economy, improper planning, inaccurate estimate and fraudulent practice. The study finally recommended the best way of a averting the problem which include stabilization of the economy by the government through monitoring of price, stability of cost of labor and building materials. Contractors should employ qualified and experience staff in order to be able to follow the different technical and managerial aspects of the project. The study has concluded that there was no significant difference amongst the variation in the costs of selected groups of building elements. This was based on analysis of variance results. This meant that notwithstanding the magnitude of changes to elemental costs, no single element could be isolated as being exceptional in terms of cost variations. It was concluded that in terms of degree of influence on change in initial contract sums, the Services elements was ranked 1st, based on an R2 value of 25.2%. Substructure had the least influence on changes in the initial contract sum (R2 value of 6.71%).

Published: January 2020

In this study, the optimization of parameters of the printing process was carried out. The aim is to minimize the size of color variation in prints. A factorial design was used to evaluate the effects and interactions of three factors, that is, impression pressure, alcohol %, and press speed. The color variation is gauged by variation in ink transfer, which is governed by color difference (?E). The optimal conditions obtained from the desirable response are impression pressure of 0.15 mm, alcohol percentage of 12.2 % and press speed of 8500 sheets per hour. Under these conditions, about 0.62 of color difference is obtained.
