Furthermore, cybersecurity and privacy will grow to be two key components that will support the integrated growth of artificial intelligence, robotics, big data, and the Internet of Things technology.
European Union vs. Eurasian Union – a brief comparative analysis and perspectives for cooperation
Authors: Popescu Raluca Maria
Published: January 2022

The Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) is considered to be the first successful regionalization attempt in the post-Soviet area. It is promoted as an economic organization whose aim is to remove trade barriers, promote integration, cooperation and economic growth in a fragmented and underdeveloped region. The promoters of this organization state that it can represent a platform for dialogue and even cooperation with the European Union, as well as with other international actors. The growing influence of the European Union in the post-Soviet space has been a critical factor in Russia’s determination to update its policy towards regional integration and from the very beginning, the European model was chosen to create the new Union.

By doing a comparison between the two regional blocs, I will contribute to a growing literature on the relationship between the European Union and the Eurasian Economic Union, by emphasizing the similarities and differences as well as how the emerging regional competition will shape the future of European relations.

In the first part of the article, I will briefly present the evolution of the integration process after the fall of the USSR, followed by a comparative analysis of the two regional integration projects, from a structural, political and economic point of view. I will conclude by analyzing the chances for any kind of breakthrough in political relations and economic cooperation between the two blocs.

The article follows a qualitative and quantitative methodology and examines the possible implications of a competition between the European Union and Eurasian economic Union.
Transformative choices towards a sustainable academic publishing system
Authors: Kayal Mohsen , Ballard Jane , Kayal Ehsan
Published: January 2022

Communicating new scientific discoveries is key to human progress. Yet, this endeavor has been increasingly hindered by monetary restrictions that restrain scientists from publishing their findings and accessing other scientists’ reports. This process is further exacerbated by a large portion of publishing media owned by private companies that, in contrast with journals from scientific societies, do not reinject academic publishing benefits into the scientific community. As the academic world is not exempt from economic crises and funding restrictions, new alternatives are necessary to support a fair and economically sustainable publishing system for scientists and society as a whole. After summarizing major shortcomings of academic publishing today, we present several solutions that span the levels of the individual scientist, the scientific community, and the publisher to initiate a transformative change towards more sustainable scientific publishing. By providing a voice to the many scientists who are fundamental protagonists, yet often powerless witnesses, of the academic publishing system, as well as a roadmap for implementing solutions, we hope this initiative will go beyond sparking increased awareness and promote a shift towards more sustainable scientific publishing practices.

Authors: Soto-Aguilar Francisca , Webar Javier , Palacios Ismael
Published: January 2022

Obesity is a metabolic condition with a continuous increasing rate, being considered today a “pandemic”. Due to this and the vast number of diseases it is associated with, there is a need for a treatment of this condition that is both effective and healthy in a comprehensive way. In this context, the concepts of lifestyle medicine and plant-based diets have emerged in medicine and in scientific research, and the latter have demonstrated benefits in all these areas and are being part of several scientific association’s recommendations today. In this article, a plant-based diet is briefly defined, and the mechanisms by which this type of diet provides benefits for the control of body weight are explored, including the satiety it generates and its characteristic low caloric density, the higher thermic effect of foods, the positive modulation of the gut microbiota, its effects on the insulin sensitivity, the absence of animal protein and how this affects the body weight, and the effects it has on the leptin hormone. Plant-based diets has been studied both in observational and interventional studies and positioned as a great alternative for the prevention and treatment of obesity, in addition to being a safe and health dietary pattern. We hope that in the future, more health professionals consider this evidence and incorporate it as part of their therapeutic tools.

Authors: Iampreechakul Prasert , Wangtanaphat Korrapakc , Hangsapruek Sunisa , Wattanasen Yodkhwan , Lertbutsayanukul Punjama , Siriwimonmas Somkiet
Published: January 2022

Background:

Endovascular treatment may be challenging for cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas (CSDAVFs) with prominent leptomeningeal drainage without other accessible routes. We report a case of CSDAVF with isolated cortical venous successfully drainage treated by percutaneous transvenous embolization through the vein of Trolard and superficial middle cerebral vein (SMCV). We also review the literature of CSDAVFs treated by transvenous embolization through SMCV with or without combined surgical approach.

Case Description:

A 46-year-old woman presented with ocular symptoms and delayed treatment was encountered due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cerebral angiography showed a CSDAVF (Barrow type D, Borden II, and Cognard II a + b) with isolated cortical vein drainage. Percutaneous transvenous access to the fistula through the inferior petrosal sinus was attempted but failed. Transvenous embolization through the vein of Trolard and SMCV was further attempted, and satisfactory occlusion of the fistula was achieved with detachable coils. This access route was chosen because of the occlusion of other access routes and can obliterate the need for more invasive approach, that is, combined surgical and endovascular approach. Cerebral angiography obtained 6 months following the procedure, confirmed complete angiographic obliteration of the fistula. The patient made an uneventful recovery.

Conclusion:

To avoid invasive combined surgical and endovascular approach, transvenous embolization through the vein of Trolard and SMCV may be another accessible option for treating CSDAVF with isolated cortical venous drainage.
Pouvoir neutralisant des pH acides par les excrétions cutanées de Lumbricus terrestris L.
Authors: Raouane Mohamed , El Harti Abdellatif
Published: January 2022

Cette étude tente d’élucider le rôle de Lumbricus terrestris dans la régulation du pH. L’approche expérimentale adoptée permet d’écarter toutes les interférences possibles avec les composantes du sol. L’immersion des vers dans les solutions réactionnelles à différents pH acides a permis la délimitation in vitro d’une zone de tolérance comprise entre pH = 2 et pH = 7. Dans cette zone, plus le pH s’écarte de la neutralité plus la réaction des vers est intense et plus la production des excrétions cutanées est abondante. On assiste à une tendance à la neutralisation progressive des solutions réactionnelles. La pulvérisation régulière des vers par les mêmes solutions réactionnelles a permis de constater que plus le pH s’écarte de la neutralité, plus la variation du poids frais moyen des lots de vers est importante. Cette chute du poids frais des vers témoigne de la libération des excrétions cutanées sous l’effet du pH. Le pouvoir neutralisant est d’autant plus important que le poids frais des lots de vers est grand. L’application des excrétions cutanées seules entraine la neutralisation des solutions réactionnelles acides. Compte tenus de ces résultats, on peut dire que dans la nature, Lumbricus terrestris interviendrait directement sur le pH acide du sol par l’intermédiaire de ses excrétions cutanées.

Developing a new PRW policy with limitation on each rectification cost
Authors: Nasrollahi Mahdi
Published: January 2022

Warranty as a kind of service contract today plays a key role in business and legal transactions. Currently, a large number of products are being sold with warranty policies in the form of free replacement warranty, pro-rata warranty, and combined warranty policies. During PRW, when the product fails, the failed product is replaced with a new product with some cost to the consumer. Modeling failures and costs of PRW have complexities; because rectification cost of a product is in fact a random variable that interest rates and inflation will affect it. In this research we present a new pro rata warranty model. In this model the cost of individual claims to the manufacturer is limited to a predetermined fixed cost. Mathematical model for predicting expected costs to the manufacturer and buyer is developed at system level and analyzed by capturing the uncertainties of rectification costs over warranty period and considering the inflationary conditions. Finally, the model has been tested using numerical example.

A Novel and Efficient Method to Extract Blood Vessels from Retinal Images
Authors: Shahbeig Saleh , Helfroush Mohammad Sadegh
Published: January 2022

The retinal images contain vital features which are important in the analysis of the retina for various medical applications or human identification. In this manuscript, an Adaptive Weighted Morphological Functor (AWMF) method is proposed for the extraction of blood vessels. The method considers the dispersion of the blood vessel in various directions in the retinal images with prior knowledge of the approximate direction of the edges. The proposed blood vessels extraction algorithm, using principle component analysis (PCA) technique and estimation of the brightness and contrast of the background, effectively eliminates interference of regions with intense brightness structure from the background light distribution. Then the method selects a proper way to modify the brightness distribution of the background, regardless of the destructive effect of brightness structures such as optical disc (OD). The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm achieves an accuracy rate of 97.11% for the blood vessels extraction on the famous databases, DRIVE.

Published: January 2022

We have introduced a new management method in this paper named as the adaptive JRRM which selects the best RAT through considering various parameters such as the type of the service, information about the location of the user and the user’s movement and the service cost. The suggested resources of the analytical model based on the Petri networks have been provided for the Joint Radio Resource Management method and have been implemented and evaluated in the SPNP environment. The obtained numerical results indicate that the adaptive JRRM method reduces the rate of vertical transitions between RATs which will provide more stable connections for the users. The results also indicate that the proposed method provides less service cost for the operators and this can be highly regared in implementing heterogeneous wireless networks.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the financial reporting quality, debt maturity and efficiency of investment in stock companies (Case Study: Chemical and pharmaceutical industry). Research method of this study is correlational in nature and content. In this study, the financial data of 36 Tehran Stock Exchange listed companies in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry were chosen as sample and extraction method was used for systematic removal of data, during the period of fiscal years of 2005 to 2014. Combined data and multivariate regression was used to test research hypotheses. Experimental evidence obtained from testing the hypothesis shows that firms with higher financial reporting quality and greater use of shorter debt maturities, have a higher investment efficiency. In addition, these findings suggest that shorter debt maturities have significant effect on the relationship between financial reporting quality and efficiency of their investment. But this has no effect on investment in projects not having a negative net present value. In addition, these findings suggest that shorter debt maturities have no significant effects on the relationship between financial reporting quality and efficiency of their investment.

For this purpose, data from 143 companies listed in the TSE were employed for 2004-2014. The generalized method of moments (GMM) was used to test the hypotheses. The findings suggested that in periods with lower GDP or lower corporate profitability, lower leverage, pre-period working capital and greater information asymmetry tended to make higher investment in working capital compared to other companies. In addition, there was no significant relationship between firm size, firm age and non-executives with corporate working capital.
A Comparative Study of Image-In-Image Steganography Using Three Methods of Least Significant Bit, Discrete Wavelet Transform and Singular Value Decomposition
Authors: Goli Mohammad Shahab , Naghsh Alireza
Published: January 2022

Today, with the growth in application of communication equipment as well as the use of Internet for information exchange, the need for data security and protection is felt more than before. Various methods have been proposed in recent years to realize this goal. One efficient, widely used method is hiding of information within data of insignificant value. An image, due to its large amount of information, may embed different data within, hence providing a decent safety margin for critical data. Three methods, including least significant bit (LSB), discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) were used in this study for image-in-image steganography. Each method has advantages and disadvantages.  Advantages of LSB include high capacity and simplicity, however, as for the disadvantages, it is vulnerable against attacks such as cropping, salt and pepper noise, and compression. Therefore, the other two methods, DWT and SVD, which are robust against the mentioned attack, are used as steganography in frequency domain. Among the methods used in this study, SVD least affects the host image, making it more suitable as compared with its other two counterparts.

Published: January 2022

Alkane functionalization with carbon-electrophiles remains virtually unexplored under thermo-driven hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) conditions due to a challenge of integrating oxidation and reduction in a single operation. We report here a Ni-catalyzed arylation and alkylation of alkane C‒H bonds with organohalides to forge C(sp3)‒C bonds by merging easily accessible Zn and tBuOOtBu (DTBP) as the external reductant and oxidant. The mild and easy-to-operate protocol enables facile carbofunctionalization of N-/O-α- and cyclohexane CH bonds, and preparation of a number of bioactive compounds and drug derivatives. Preliminary mechanistic studies implied a Ni(I)-mediated DTBP reduction followed by alkane HAT to tBuO radical. The marked compatibility of Zn and DTBP with nickel-catalysis may invoke the development of external oxidant and reductant co-trigged thermoredox bond forming approaches based upon challenging substrates.

The unprecedented co-thermolysis of nido-decaborane (B10H14) and toluene results in a novel porous material (that we have named “Activated Borane”) containing micropores of 1.0 and 1.5 nm in diameter and a specific surface area of 774 m2 g-1 (Ar, 87 K) that is thermally stable up to 1000 oC. Solid-state 1H, 11B and 13C MAS NMR, UV-vis and IR spectroscopies suggest an amorphous structure of borane clusters interconnected by toluene moieties in a ratio of about three toluene molecules for every borane cluster. In addition, the structure contains Lewis-acidic tri-coordinated boron sites giving it some unique properties. Activated Borane displays high sorption capacity for pollutants such as sulfamethoxazole, tramadol, diclofenac and bisphenol A that exceed the capacity of commercially-available activated carbon. The consistency in properties for each batch made, and the ease of its synthesis, make Activated Borane a promising porous material worthy of broad attention.
Forgiveness and the Significance of Wrongs
Authors: Riedener Stefan
Published: January 2022

According to the standard account of forgiveness, you forgive your wrongdoer by overcoming your resentment towards them. But how exactly must you do so? And when is such overcoming fitting? The aim of this paper is to introduce a novel version of the standard account to answer these questions. Its core idea is that the reactive attitudes are a fitting response not just to someone’s blameworthiness, but to their blameworthiness being significant for you, or worthy of your caring, in virtue of your relationship to it. Someone’s blameworthiness is significant for you to the extent you’re bound up with what grounds it––e.g. with the wrongdoer’s being a participant in human relationships, with their attitudes, or with the victim’s being a source of demands. So you may fittingly not care about someone’s blameworthiness if it’s sufficiently insignificant for you in this manner––e.g. if their wrong happened far off in place and time. And forgiveness revolves around this. You (fittingly) forgive your wrongdoer if and only if, partly out of goodwill towards them, you (fittingly) cease to care about their blameworthiness––a bit as if their wrong had happened far off. If I’m right, this agent-relativity-based account can resolve the apparent ‘paradoxy of forgiveness’ (Kolnai 1973), satisfies a number of desiderata, and is plausible on an intuitive level.
Retention of Military Divers in The Royal Malaysian Navy Diving Organisation
Authors:   Sharmila Jayasingam
Published: January 2022

The RMN military divers are specifically trained to supplement the naval operation. They are capable to dive up to 60 meters, and perform specialized diving such as Mine Clearance Diving, Un-exploded Bomb Removal and Search and Rescue. According to the data from the year 2013 to 2018, the attrition rate of military divers is a major concern for the organisation. A total of 61 out of 100 divers retired early within this period. To make matters worse, retired divers were not replaced accordingly. Only 70 recruits joined this department, leaving the organization with a shortage of military divers. This study employed a Qualitative Descriptive Case Study to understand factors that influence early turnover and retention among the RMN military divers. The study suggests practical solutions and retention strategies to retain the current personnel so that they continue to serve until compulsory retirement. These solutions may also be beneficial in attracting new personnel. The research will use the Institutional Theory as the theoretical lens to explore the factors influencing military divers’ intention to stay. The findings will be used to boost the retention rate of the military divers in the RMN.
Analisis Kerusakan Inlet Duct Untuk Turbin Pembangkit Listrik Akibat Retak Las Melintang (transverse Weld Crack)
Authors: Pradoto Ambardi
Published: January 2022

Pelat casing inlet duct banyak sekali mengalami retak transversal yang memotongg logam las sampai ke base-metal. Panjang retakan bervariasi hingga beberapa puluh sentimeter. Kondisi ini tentunya sangat membahayakan bagi kontruksi tersebut.

Hasil pemeriksaan komposisi kimia dan perhitungan nilai karbon ekivalen (CE= 0,4) menunjukkan bahwa material pelat inlet duct memiliki mampu las yang baik, sedagkan nilai parameter retak (Pc) adalah 0,383 menunjukkan kerentanan terhadap retakan jika pengelasan dilakukan dalam lingkungan yang banyak mengandung uap air.

Adanya produk korosi yang didominasi oleh FeO pada dinding bagian dalam pelat inlet duct menunjukkan temperatur pada daerah tersebut sangat tinggi (lebih besar dari 500oC). Tingginya temperatur pada dinding tersebut menyebabkan hidrogen akan lebih cepat berdifusi sehingga dapat memicu terjadinya retakan. Selain itu, kekerasan logam las (222 â€”229 VHN) yang lebih tinggi dari base-metal (143,5 VHN), porositas yang terbentuk akibat pengelasan, dan inklusi non-metalik menyebabkan retak transversal akan lebih mudah menjalar.

Published: January 2022

Over a period of about twenty years, the IIS SB RAS has created information systems of historical orientation: the Electronic Archive of Academician A.P. Ershov, the Photo Archive of the Siberian Branch of the RAS, the Archive of the newspaper “Science in Siberia”, the Open Archive of the SB RAS, etc. Each of the resources has its own specifics but in general their content is based on the general social and territorial basis of scientific and public activities of the SB AS USSR/RAS and the Novosibirsk Akademgorodok. In this report we will look at some of the problems of integrating/disintegrating disparate electronic resources into a common platform using existing and emerging tools.
Semantic library as a tool of defining a scientific subject area
Authors: Атаева Ольга Муратовна , Серебряков Владимир Алексеевич
Published: January 2022

The paper considers an information system designed to represent a subject area related to science and its features. Highlighted general concepts for formal descriptions of such a subject area in the knowledge base of the semantic library. The peculiarity of these areas is that the data structure is subject to frequent changes. Therefore, the means of organizing knowledge, which is a semantic library, should be sufficiently universal and not require deep technical knowledge. The paper describes the functionality of the system and its use. For each area, the set of resources can differ both in format and in the set of the resources themselves. The set of concepts that form the description of the library's content should be so universal that it can be adapted to the needs of a particular area. Three levels of metadata are used to represent the data.
