Between Trauma and Resilience
Authors: Schwartz Agatha , Takševa Tatjana
Published: August 2020

This article discusses the personal narratives (both published and personal interviews collected for the purpose of this study) of female survivors of wartime rape in post–World War II Germany and postconflict Bosnia and Herzegovina. The authors examine how the women succeed in finding their words both for and beyond the rupture caused by the rapes through examples of life writing that challenge the dominant masculinist historical narrative of war created for ideological reasons and for the benefit of the nation-state. Using theories of trauma and insights by feminist scholars and historians, the authors argue that a transnational reading of survivors’ accounts from these very different geopolitical and historical contexts not only shows multiple points of mutual influence, but also how these narratives can make a significant contribution, both locally and globally, when it comes to revisiting how wartime rape is memorialized, and how lessons learned from the two contexts can be relevant and applicable in other situations of armed conflict as well.

“You wanted to interview yourself. Why?

There are many reasons. First of all, I am an experienced researcher and I understand well the power of the one who shapes questions and gives an implicit interpretative framework. Second, the envisaged scope for my life story is simply not sufficient, and my life cannot be easily formatted using general questions. I want to tell my life story when, how, and how much I want and how much I believe it to be good and necessary. My life has had a matrix too complex to be reduced or placed into a simple and trivial, most often chronological, course of events. Instead of having someone who does not know me ask me questions that are some kind of general points, I want to talk about myself primarily in order to convey a message. So, this is not about a simple process of reconstructing events and facts, but about my intention to say what I believe to be important and what makes up just one of many “red threads” in my life. The risk of inadequate questions is very big and I keep reassuring myself of this time and again.

The famous location of Wedung waters, Demak, Central Java, Indonesia, produces blood mussel, Anadara granosa. Anthropogenic activities can lead to contamination of heavy metals such as Pb, Cd and Hg to the living environment of A. granosa. This study was done to analyse heavy metals content in the soft tissue of A. granosa and health risks arising to Wedung residents from consuming the mussels. Heavy metals were analysed using atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). The result showed that Cd and Pb contents were found in A. granosa soft tissue in the range of 0.56 - 0.70 mg/kg for Cd, 0.05 - 0.10 mg/kg for Pb and Hg was not detected. A health risk analysis showed that the HQ value for Pb from A. granosa intake was 0.0 <1, so that it was not at risk; whereas for Cd, the value reached 26.5 (HQ > 1). Thus, there was a noticeable health risk for the residents after consuming the mussel. The safety limit in consuming A. granosa was 0.33 g/day for children and 1.2 g/day for adults.

Published: August 2020

Increasing environmental metal concentrations are usually attributed to the impact of urbanisation. This study emphasises on the metal contamination in green mussel ( Perna viridis) from the coastal urban area. The field survey was carried out to evaluate the concentration of metals, i.e., Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn in green mussel captured from Semarang coastal waters, Central Java, Indonesia. Green mussels are the important species that are consumed by the local people as a source of animal protein. Therefore, keeping the mussels away from a wide range of contaminants, including heavy metals, has become an essential factor for people’s health. The result of the study demonstrated that concentrations of Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn in soft tissues of P. viridis at all stations ranged from 0.013 to 0.042 mg/kg (average from 0.022±0.007 to 0.033±0.005 mg/kg) for Cd, 0.324–2.765 mg/kg (average from 0.406±0.059 to 2.268±0.293 mg/kg) for Pb, 0.621–2.760 mg/kg (average from 1.094±0.353 to 2.294±0.274 mg/kg) for Cu, and 7.886–31.115 mg/kg (average from 10.722±1.781 to 23.434±5.271 mg/kg) for Zn. Health risk analysis through the calculation of the HQ and HI index demonstrated that all the metal-contaminated green mussels had deleterious health risks to children living in the Semarang coastal areas. The HQ value <1 occurred in adults who consumed Cd-, Cu- and Zn-contaminated green mussels. A particular case occurred in Pb-contaminated green mussels, which showed the HQ values > 1 in the all over study sites threatening health risks to the children and adult inhabitants. The HI values > 1, which indicated that consumption of P. viridis at all study areas has a high health risk. Risk management efforts must be taken by reducing the rate of P. viridis consumption until the safe limit and decreasing metals concentration incorporated in green mussels with the depuration method as a reasonable way to protect people’s health from heavy metals toxicity.

Published: August 2020

Identification of water quality is an important factor because water supports the community structure of an organism. Bivalves are one of bioindicators in aquatic ecosystems in Segoro Tambak Estuary, which receive wastewater from landfill waste disposal. The bivalve community structure needs to be evaluated because the environmental changes that occur in waters can lead to structural changes of the bivalve community. The sampling was conducted in January – March, 2018. The water quality and environmental parameters observed were dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), temperature, salinity, current speed and wind speed. The bivalve community structure can be seen from the composition, diversity (H’), evenness (E) and dominance (C). The results showed that the water quality of Segoro Tambak Estuary was in accordance with the standard of quality of life of marine biota, temperature 28-30.67°C, DO 5.6-5.9 ppm, salinity 29-36 ppt, BOD 44.80 with current speed 0.68-1.81 cm/s and wind speed 2.12-3.72 knots. The dominant bivalve species found in the waters of Segoro Tambak Estuary were Anadara granosa, Anadara inequivalvis, Anadara gubernaculum, Paphia undulata and Mactra sp. The lowest diversity value was observed in January (0.61) and the highest was observed in March (1.38). The highest evenness value observed in March (0.86) and the lowest in January (0.56). The lowest dominance value was seen in February (0.28) and the highest value in January (0.68).

During the period 2016-2018, field experiments were conducted in the Scientific Training center of Bashkir State Agrarian university. The aim of the experiments was to study the effect of introducing calculated doses of mineral fertilizers on the expected sugar sorghum fresh-yield in the southern forest-steppe zone of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The purpose of the research work is to determine the amount of mineral fertilizers applied to get the expected sugar sorghum fresh yield. During the research work, it was revealed that doses of mineral fertilizers applied for sugar sorghum growing should be defined taking into account the expected fresh yield and yield removal rates. According to the result of the studies, the highest fresh yield of 65.0 t/ha was received from Seville sugar sorghum during the second sowing period (21-30 of May). N85P37K39 rate of mineral fertilizers applied to get the expected harvest contributed to the yield increase by 166.4% in comparison with the control rate and yielded 40.6 t/ha.

Background: Green tea has been widely recognized in ameliorating cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), especially the progression of cognitive dysfunction. But the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Objective: This study was designed to determine the role of green tea consumption in the association with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers of AD pathology and to ascertain whether specific population backgrounds showed the differences toward these relationships. Methods: Multivariate linear models analyzed the available data on CSF biomarkers and frequency of green tea consumption of 722 cognitively intact participants from the Chinese Alzheimer’s Biomarker and LifestylE (CABLE) database, and we additionally detected the interaction effects of tea consumption with APOE ɛ4 status and gender using a two-way analysis of covariance. Results: Frequent green tea consumption was associated with a decreased level of CSF total-tau protein (t-tau) (p = 0.041) but not with the levels of CSF amyloid-β 42 (Aβ42) and CSF phosphorylated tau. The more pronounced associations of green tea consumption with CSF t-tau (p = 0.007) and CSF t-tau/Aβ42 (p = 0.039) were observed in individuals aged 65 years or younger. Additionally, males with frequent green tea consumption had a significantly low level of CSF t-tau/Aβ42 and a modest trend toward decreased CSF t-tau. There were no interaction effects of green tea consumption with APOE ɛ4 and gender. Conclusion: Collectively, our findings consolidated the favorable effects of green tea on the mitigation of AD risk. The constituents of green tea may improve abnormal tau metabolism and are promising targets in interventions and drug therapies.
Autonomous Industrial Management via Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Espinosa-Leal Leonardo , Chapman Anthony , Westerlund Magnus
Published: August 2020

Industry has always been in the pursuit of becoming more economically efficient and the current focus has been to reduce human labour using modern technologies. Even with cutting edge technologies, which range from packaging robots to AI for fault detection, there is still some ambiguity on the aims of some new systems, namely, whether they are automated or autonomous. In this paper, we indicate the distinctions between automated and autonomous systems as well as review the current literature and identify the core challenges for creating learning mechanisms of autonomous agents. We discuss using different types of extended realities, such as digital twins, how to train reinforcement learning agents to learn specific tasks through generalisation. Once generalisation is achieved, we discuss how these can be used to develop self-learning agents. We then introduce self-play scenarios and how they can be used to teach self-learning agents through a supportive environment that focuses on how the agents can adapt to different environments. We introduce an initial prototype of our ideas by solving a multi-armed bandit problem using two ε-greedy algorithms. Further, we discuss future applications in the industrial management realm and propose a modular architecture for improving the decision-making process via autonomous agents.
Decision support framework for the risk ranking of agroforestry biomass power generation projects with picture fuzzy information
Authors: Zhou Xiao-Yu , Wang Xiao-Kang , Wang Jian-qiang , Li Jun-Bo , Li Lin
Published: August 2020

With the rapid growth of the global population and economy, energy consumption and demad are increasing sharply. As an essential renewable energy, biomass energy can promote the reform of energy production and consumption. Considering the characteristics of long investment cycle and large investment scale of agroforestry biomass power generation (AFBPG) projects, this study establishes a decision support framework for risk ranking of AFBPG project under picture fuzzy environment. The proposed framework considers not only the fuzziness and uncertainty of decision-making problems but also the decision-makers’ (DMs) psychological behavior. First, given the integrity of information representation, DMs provide risk assessment information expressed with picture fuzzy numbers, and then gives the distance of the picture fuzzy set (PFS) to maximize the PFS information. Second, the entropy weight method is used to compute the objective weight. Third, the VIKOR (Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) – TODIM (an acronym in Portuguese for an interactive multi-criteria decision making) method is suggested for ranking risk factors, which reflects the behavioral psychology of DMs. Moreover, the proposed evaluation model is successfully applied in a practical case. The results show that the model is valid for ranking risk factors under picture fuzzy environment. Last but not least, comparison and sensitivity analysis are implemented to verify the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method and some suggestions for practical application are put forward.

Published: August 2020

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE:

In this retrospective study, we aimed to investigate a new 3D evaluation method for evaluating bone regeneration after cystectomy of odontogenic cysts.

METHODS:

The study included 26 patients who underwent cystectomies between 2012 and 2017 and had received either fillings or non-fillings with autologous iliac crest. Bony regeneration was analyzed using 3D imaging software and comparing identical regions of interest (ROIs) that were determined by exact overlays of the postoperative cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) or computer tomography (CT) images. Outcome measures, including volume changes according to the defect size and configuration, patient age, the entity and distribution of the cysts, were collected.

RESULTS:

Twenty-six patients (5 women and 21 men) had 30 defects, including nine keratocysts, seven radicular cysts and 14 dentigerous cysts. A total of 73% of the defects were in the mandible. The mean 3D follow-up time was 12 months. According to the 3D evaluation of bony regeneration, the defect size and configuration showed no significant differences between the groups (filled or non-filled with 15 defects per group).

CONCLUSIONS:

By establishing a standardized 3D method for evaluating bone regeneration, healing can be better monitored and evaluated.
Recognition of calcifications in thyroid nodules based on attention-gated collaborative supervision network of ultrasound images
Authors: Zhang Liqun , Chen Ke , Han Lin , Zhuang Yan , Hua Zhan , Li Cheng , Lin Jiangli
Published: August 2020

BACKGROUND:

Calcification is an important criterion for classification between benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Deep learning provides an important means for automatic calcification recognition, but it is tedious to annotate pixel-level labels for calcifications with various morphologies.

OBJECTIVE:

This study aims to improve accuracy of calcification recognition and prediction of its location, as well as to reduce the number of pixel-level labels in model training.

METHODS:

We proposed a collaborative supervision network based on attention gating (CS-AGnet), which was composed of two branches: a segmentation network and a classification network. The reorganized two-stage collaborative semi-supervised model was trained under the supervision of all image-level labels and few pixel-level labels.

RESULTS:

The results show that although our semi-supervised network used only 30% (289 cases) of pixel-level labels for training, the accuracy of calcification recognition reaches 92.1%, which is very close to 92.9% of deep supervision with 100% (966 cases) pixel-level labels. The CS-AGnet enables to focus the model’s attention on calcification objects. Thus, it achieves higher accuracy than other deep learning methods.

CONCLUSIONS:

Our collaborative semi-supervised model has a preferable performance in calcification recognition, and it reduces the number of manual annotations of pixel-level labels. Moreover, it may be of great reference for the object recognition of medical dataset with few labels.

At present, the world is now passing a very far different time than normal situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The global life-style and human civilization is currently progressing with down-stream that affecting almost every sectors necessary for human civilizations except the current environmental situation. To control the COVID-19 spreading, most of the countries are following lockdown process that reduces human mobility, thus reducing the CO2 emission to the environment. Though the COVID-19 pandemic is a blessing for the present environment, however, the post-COVID world will face a massive thrust of energy and only conventional energy resources may not be enough to mitigate the energy demands. Solar power generation technology mainly the photovoltaic (PV) systems and their advancement can be the leading possibilities to minimize the gap between the power demand and generation. It is now time to think how we can improve the PV power generation in future and the post-COVID world. In this encyclopaedia communication, we report on Nano-technological approach to improve the conversion efficiency of GaAs solar cells. We have designed and optimized several types of nano-structured assemblies that can be implemented to reduce the front surface incident light reflection losses thus can assist to improve the conversion efficiency of GaAs solar cells.

Ukrainian-Russian Relationship in 1917-1918: History Lessons
Authors: Lohvynenko I. A. , Lohvynenko Ye. S.
Published: August 2020

The author has carried out a comparative analysis of Ukrainian-Russian relationship between the days of the Ukrainian Central Rada and the modern period. The character and ideological basis of stable tendencies in Russia’s policy towards Ukraine have been demonstrated. The similarity in the approaches of the Russian central government to the so-called “solution of the Ukrainian issue” has been determined; the essence of Russian chauvinism in understanding the right of nations to self-determination has been demonstrated. The causes and consequences of the war between Soviet Russia and the Ukrainian People’s Republic have been analyzed. The author has determined the main significant, fateful mistakes of the leaders of the Central Rada within relations with the People’s Commissar of Russia, which led to the loss of authority and support of the Ukrainian people for national power and, as a consequence, the collapse of the Ukrainian People’s Republic. The nature and essence of the ideology of the so-called “Russian world” have been revealed. It has been concluded that the history of Ukrainian statehood in 1917-1918 is instructive in many aspects, since it shows that one of the main reasons for the defeat of the Ukrainian Central Rada, which ultimately failed to defend the Ukrainian People’s Republic, was the lack of necessary consolidation of national political forces in solving urgent state affairs (creation and development of own army, timely solution of social, economic problems, efficiency of work of legislative and executive agencies, etc.). It has been noted that the challenges currently facing the Ukrainian state – Russia’s annexation of Crimea, the invasion of its troops in the East, the information war, the propaganda of the so-called “Russian world”, etc. – are not new. In many ways, they repeat what happened in 1917-1918. In particular, the proclamation of puppet pseudo-republics “DNR” and “LNR” in the East of Ukraine, through which Russian troops de facto launched the war against Ukraine. That is why modern Ukrainian politicians need to learn the lessons from the past. Nowadays, when Ukraine is defending its independence from Russia, Ukrainian statesmen and politicians must abandon their narrow party and self-interests and work together to protect national achievements from the encroachments of the “Russian world”, the most important of which is the state of Ukraine.

Settlement and Release in European Legislation
Authors: Rasskazova V. V.
Published: August 2020

Since the current contractual practice demonstrates the active use of settlement and release construction by the parties of civil legal relations as one of the most flexible instruments of termination of an obligation, the issue of ensuring unity in the interpretation and practice of this legal institution remains relevant. The subject matter of this study is the norms of civil law of different Member States of the European Union, and the purpose is the study of the conceptual approaches of other states to the legislative consolidation of settlement and release structure, its recognition as one of the ways to terminate the obligation and specific features of the interpretation and application of this institution that will make it possible to enlarge the view on the essence and role of settlement and release within the system of grounds for the termination of civil obligation and national contractual practice.

The comparative and legal method was chosen as the main method of scientific research, due to which the author characterizes the main elements, purpose and essential features of legal constructions in civil law of other states, which are similar to the institution of settlement and release in Ukraine; the author pays attention to distinctive technical and legal peculiarities of civil legislation of some EU countries.

According to the results of the conducted research the author has established that civil legislation of the most European countries does not enshrine settlement and release as the institution of obligation law and does not recognize it as an independent method to terminate the obligation. At the same time, the codified acts of some states contain certain legal norms, which provide for cases of transferring a certain good by the debtor to the creditor instead of fulfillment of an obligation, as well as enshrine legal institutions that act as settlement and release.

The significance and practical significance of the paper is that the conducted study reveals new directions for further research, demonstrates the relevance and need for a more detailed and comprehensive analysis of the content and legal features of settlement and release, its importance and role in national contractual practice, as well as in the practice of other states.
Features of Legal Regulation of Employment Contracts with Seasonal and Temporary Employees
Authors: Radzividlo A. Ya.
Published: August 2020

The article is focused on studying peculiarities of employment contracts with seasonal and temporary employees in Ukraine. The employment contract as the basis of the origin of labor relations with seasonal and temporary employees has been researched. The norms of the decrees of the Presidium of the Supreme Rada of the USSR “On working conditions of temporary employees and officials” dated from September 24, 1974 No. 311-09 and “On working conditions of employees and officials engaged in seasonal work” dated from September 24, 1974 No. 310-09 have been analyzed .

It has been noted that peculiarities of legal regulation of employment contracts with temporary and seasonal employees relate primarily to their conclusion and termination, as well as content.

These acts must first of all establish the concept: “seasonal employees – individuals hired under an employment contract for work that as a result of natural and climatic conditions performed not through a year, but during a certain period (season), not exceeding six months”; “temporary employees – individuals hired under an employment contract for a period up to two months, and for the replacement of temporarily absent employees, who retain their place of work (position) – up to four months”. It has been substantiated that the List of Seasonal Works and Seasonal Industries needs to be updated, based on the realities of the present day.

Published: August 2020

Based on the analysis of scientific views of scholars, the author has studied the historical and legal preconditions for the origin of local legal regulation of labor legal relations in Ukraine. It has been noted that the foundations of legal regulation of labor legal relations were laid during the existence of the Roman Empire. Despite the fact that this historical period is characterized by a slave-owning type of economy, we can still talk about the existence of legal regulation of labor at that time.

It has been emphasized that an important stage in the development of local regulation of labor relations in Ukraine is the period of Kievan Rus (late IX – mid XIII century), which is characterized by the fact that the legal regulation of labor relations was mainly limited to the issuance of orders by the prince. It has been established that there were no significant changes in the legal regulation of labor relations after the disintegration of Kievan Rus: there were employees in the civil service, who carried out their activities on a contractual basis, and centralized regulation was carried out by the princes of the respective lands.

The author has revealed the content of a number of normative and legal acts of the Russian Empire, the norms of which were aimed at regulating labor legal relations. It has been found out that the period of 1861-1917 was characterized by active rule-making activities of the state to regulate labor relations, the adoption of a large number of laws and regulatory acts that were designed to regulate labor relations. It has been emphasized that an important achievement of that period was the expansion of the rights of authorized entities in regard to local rule-making activity. It has been stated that the first legislative foundations were laid at that time in order to implement local legal regulation of labor legal relations.

Authors: Pchelin V. B.
Published: August 2020

It has been emphasized that one of the means of overcoming the financial crisis is a properly functioning institution of bankruptcy. It has been found out that the efficiency of bankruptcy proceedings in Ukraine is low, due to the long duration of such a procedure and its high cost. The national legislation regulating bankruptcy procedures in Ukraine has been analyzed. Comparative and legal analysis of the Bankruptcy Procedure Code of Ukraine and other normative and legal acts regulating the scope of restoring the solvency of the debtor or his recognition as a bankrupt has been carried out. The contradictory and sometimes radically conflicting provisions of the Bankruptcy Procedure Code of Ukraine have been determined. It has been established that, although the Bankruptcy Procedure Code of Ukraine was adopted not so long ago, and it came into force almost a year ago, it was amended several times. It is evidence of improper normative and legal regulation of bankruptcy procedures, which, in particular, finds its manifestation in the absence of stability in the functioning of this sphere of public relations. It has been noted that the name of the Bankruptcy Procedure Code of Ukraine requires adjustment in regard its change into the Code of Ukraine on Procedures for Restoring the Debtor’s Solvency or Declaring Him Bankrupt, which will fully comply with the subject matter of its normative and legal regulation. Particular attention has been paid to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Procedure Code of Ukraine, which determine the features of its entry into force. It turns out that the Bankruptcy Procedure Code of Ukraine was in force for six months, but not enacted, which is a complete disregard for legal techniques. The instructions of the Bankruptcy Procedure Code of Ukraine on determining the features of normative and legal regulation of legal relations in the field of bankruptcy procedures have been analyzed.

The level of scientific developments in this area has been clarified and the lack of a unified approach to determining the implementation of registration actions in the context of the realization of legal forms by public administration entities has been emphasized, which leads to difficulties in law-enforcement. It has been concluded that the implementation of registration actions as a manifestation of the legal form of public administration involves official recognition of a certain fact by the state certifying that has legal consequences, and / or in order to ensure the exercise of certain rights by individuals. It has been found out that the result of these actions is the act – the expression of the will of the subject of public administration (decision) or registration actions. It has been substantiated that legal and preventive control is carried out during registration actions, where the subject of public administration has the right to check the scope of legal personality and their behavior of the subjects who applied for registration actions.

Published: August 2020

The role and place of higher specialized courts in the judicial system of Ukraine have been studied and determined. The author has studied such main categories as “judicial system of Ukraine”, “judiciary”, “judicial system” and “judicial power”. The judicial system of Ukraine has been established. The normative and legal base of functioning of highest specialized courts of Ukraine has been characterized. The author has provided own definition of the categories “judicial system of Ukraine” and “judicial power of Ukraine”.

The author has offered to understand the category of “judicial system of Ukraine” as the totality of all hierarchically structured elements of the system (courts), which are endowed with exclusive competence to administer justice, built on the principles of territoriality and specialization, are defined by law and united by general principles of their organization and activity.

In turn, the concept of “judicial power of Ukraine” is defined as the activity of courts (judicial system) to administer justice and to perform their professional duties within the limits and in the manner prescribed by the Constitution and laws of Ukraine in accordance with international and legal documents.

It has been determined that highest specialized courts in the judicial system of Ukraine are the Supreme Court on Intellectual Property Issues and the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court.
