Sąd Boży w Biblii jako pozytywne wyczekiwane doświadczenie
Authors: Rucki Miroslaw , Szymański Karol
Published: December 2020

Artykuł zawiera przegląd i analizę tekstów biblijnych związanych z sądem od upadku pierwszych ludzi poprzez czasy Mojżesza i proroków aż do Chrystusa i sądu ostatecznego. Analiza wykazuje, że sąd Boży opisywany na kartach Pisma św. znacznie różni się od popularnych o nim wyobrażeń. Niektórzy badacze postrzegają sąd ostateczny jako przekleństwo kontrastujące z wiecznym błogosławieństwem czy też z eschatologiczną mesjańską ucztą, tymczasem wiele biblijnych tekstów podkreśla pozytywny charakter sądu Bożego. Bóg jest ukazywany w Biblii jako sprawiedliwy sędzia, dbający o prawa najsłabszych, do którego zwraca się każdy pokrzywdzony. Kara, wynikająca ze sprawiedliwego osądu, jest ostatecznym zniszczeniem tego, co już zostało zburzone przez złoczyńców. W tym kontekście sąd ostateczny jawi się jako wyczekiwane pozytywne doświadczenie.

Published: December 2020

Despite the low number, the cases of leprosy continue to be detected, more often on endemic territories. In Russian Federation one of the endemic territories is located in Astrakhan region. The long incubation period eventually leads to inability to identify the source of infection. The combination of the leprosy with other dermatoses complicates the diagnosing. The isolated and early skin manifestations of leprosy can be mistaken for the clinical features of other dermatoses. This article presents the description of a case study of border line lepromatosis leprosy in a patient with a long-term dermatological background. A 66-year-old male was followed up for 14 years under different dermatological diseases. In 2017, after a change in the nature of rashes, atypical for supervised nosological forms, and in connection with the resistance of clinical manifestations of diseases to the therapy, a clinical diagnosis of leprosy was established. To verify this diagnosis, the patient was sent to the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Research Institute for the Study of Leprosy". At admission, he complained of rashes on the skin of the face, trunk, extremities, accompanied by itching, swelling, weakness and numbness in the distal extremities. As a result of clinical, laboratory examination (bacterioscopic examination of scarification from the skin, serological examination, pathomorphological examination of skin biopsies), the diagnosis of the underlying disease was made: leprosy, borderline lepromatous form, active stage. Complications of the underlying disease: chronic specific polyneuropathy with sensitive disorders. The described clinical situation illustrates the problem of early diagnosis of leprosy due to the variety of manifestations and low alertness of clinicians.

Authors: Hasanuddin Hasanuddin
Published: December 2020

Penelitian ini meninjau galat energi dan galat fase dari metode forward 4th order symplectic Chin-Chen (F4OS-CC) untuk kasus sistem osilator harmonik sederhana. Metode F4OS-CC merupakan suatu integrator yang bersifat symplectic dan time-reversible tanpa menggunakan selang waktu negatif. Simulasi osilasi harmonik sederhana dengan metode integrasi F4OS-CC dan metode Leapfrog menghasilkan galat energi terikat (tidak memiliki rambatan linier). Akan tetapi, metode F4OS-CC memiliki galat fase yang lebih besar jika dibandingkan dengan metode non-symplectic orde sama (metode Runge-Kutta orde 4). Galat fase dapat dikurangi dengan menggunakan selang waktu variabel yang bergantung terhadap posisi. Tetapi, rambatan galat energi menjadi meningkat secara linier.

Guidelines for Tuning the Excited State Hückel-Baird Hybrid Aromatic Character of Pro-Aromatic Quinoidal Compounds
Authors: Escayola Sílvia , Tonnelé Claire , Matito Eduard , Poater Albert , Ottosson Henrik , Solà Miquel , Casanova David
Published: December 2020

The present study aims to provide a solid ground for the identification, characterization and controlled design of pro-aromatic quinoidal organic compounds holding conjugated rings with Hückel and/or Baird (singlet and triplet) excited state aromatic character, and expects to become a reference work for future studies on Baird-aromaticity. Concretely, we explore a wide range of compounds with a central conjugated ring of different sizes and symmetric exocyclic substitutions. We employ a combination of different computational tools and we also introduce a new energy-based approach for the quantification of the Baird-aromatic character. The key findings of this study indicate that Baird aromaticity is achieved in pro-aromatic quinoidal compounds having small anionic rings or in electron deficient rings with the proper exocyclic substitution. Low-lying states of these systems show very strong hole/electron overlaps, implying that their aromaticity cannot be related to intramolecular charge transfer.
Mechanistic Analysis of Light-Driven Overcrowded Alkene-Based Molecular Motors by Multiscale Molecular Simulations
Authors: Feng Mudong , Gilson Michael K.
Published: December 2020

We analyze light-driven overcrowded alkene-based molecular motors, an intriguing class of small molecules that have the potential to generate MHz-scale rotation rates. The full rotation process is simulated at multiple scales by combining quantum surface-hopping molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for the photoisomerization step with classical MD simulations for the thermal helix inversion step. A Markov state analysis resolves conformational substates, their interconversion kinetics, and their roles in the motor’s rotation process. Furthermore, motor performance metrics, including rotation rate and maximal power output, are computed to validate computations against experimental measurements and to inform future designs. Lastly, we find that to correctly model these motors, the force field must be optimized by fitting selected parameters to reference quantum mechanical energy surfaces. Overall, our simulations yield encouraging agreement with experimental observables such as rotation rates, and provide mechanistic insights that may help future designs.

Optimization of CNC technology in the manufacturing process of an artistic product
Authors: Remic Katarina , Merhar Miran
Published: December 2020

The work analyses the optimisation of the manufacturing process of an artistic wooden product (mirror frame) with a 3-axis CNC machine. The 3D model was first made in ArtCAM, from where the STL file was later uploaded to SolidWorks. The parameters for the HSR (high-speed roughing), and HSM (high-speed machining) operations were determined in SolidCAM. The findings show that a combination of operations from HSR and HSM are the best choice, considering the shape of the model and the capabilities of the machine, as the best ratio between the quality of the surface and the time needed for the operation is provided by these. Operations differ with regard to the tool path and parameters that can be adjusted. The operations were compared and the best results are achieved when the HSR operations “Contour Roughing” and then “Rest Roughing” are used and when the HSM operation “3D Constant Step Over” is used, where the machining time amounted 4 hours and 1 minute. Finally the G code was made for our product.

Published: December 2020

The aim of the study was to produce different types of coatings based on natural dyes obtained from invasive alien plant species and residues after paper production. As a source of dye we used extracts of Rhus typhina, Japanese knotweed, Himalayan balsam and Canadian and giant goldenrod. The substrates for the application of the coating were the wood of the tree of heaven and the wood of the horse chestnut. The coatings were observed visually, and the hydrophobicity of the coated surfaces was determined by measuring the contact angles of water droplets. In addition to the transparent and brown coloured coatings, we also achieved intense red, yellow, green, and brown and purple colourings. With a combination of different components, the hydrophobic properties of the coated surfaces varied. By combining an extract of giant goldenrod flowers and 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl isocyanate, we succeeded in producing a coating with pronounced hydrophobicity.

A process for the production of coloured and transparent hydrophobic coatings was developed in this research. Through the presence of various silane-containing molecules and the application of the coating to wooden surfaces, we changed their appearance and improved their hydrophobicity.

Authors: Gumaste Shweta , D. G. Narayan , Shinde Sumedha , K Amit
Published: December 2020

Security is a critical concern for cloud service providers. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are the most frequent of all cloud security threats, and the consequences of damage caused by DDoS are very serious. Thus, the design of an efficient DDoS detection system plays an important role in monitoring suspicious activity in the cloud. Real-time detection mechanisms operating in cloud environments and relying on machine learning algorithms and distributed processing are an important research issue. In this work, we propose a real-time detection of DDoS attacks using machine learning classifiers on a distributed processing platform. We evaluate the DDoS detection mechanism in an OpenStack-based cloud testbed using the Apache Spark framework. We compare the classification performance using benchmark and real-time cloud datasets. Results of the experiments reveal that the random forest method offers better classifier accuracy. Furthermore, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed distributed approach in terms of training and detection time.
An Online Stream Monitoring Algorithm for Fraud Detection in the Transport of Goods
Authors: Białoń Paweł M. ,   National Institute of Telecommunications, Poland
Published: December 2020

The process of monitoring vehicles used in road transports plays an important role in detecting fraud committed by drivers. Algorithm designers face a number of challenges, including large number of vehicles monitored, demands related to online calculations, and ability to easily explain fraud alarms triggered to supervisors who make final decisions about actions to be taken. In this paper, we propose rather general, lightweight stream, online heuristics. The vehicle’s position is periodically controlled by a GNSS device. The algorithm detects potential illegal activities along the route between the origin and the destination. Anomalies in the vehicle’s trajectory are detected, based on a multi-resolution analysis of the economy of routes. The economy metric is easily understood and verifiable by controllers. The solution is also capable of identifying clearly suspicious trajectories that popular geofencing approaches would overlook. The scale on which the solution may be adopted is obtained thanks to the stream – like nature of the algorithm: essentially, the resources used do not increase along with the size of the input stream (the number of GNSS frames generated for the vehicle). An experiment illustrating the algorithm’s viability is presented as well.

The higher education in China aims to cultivate advanced talents who would like to be devoted to cause of socialist construction with firm belief in communism and collectivism and mastery of modern science and technology. The significance of ideological education of undergraduates has been constantly aware of in China since the founding of the nation. In this day and age, with the implementation of cultural development strategies by telling Chinese stories well, the ideological education is increasingly significant in higher education. Compared with other majors, foreign language majors are in greater need for ideological instruction since they have to take a series of courses relevant to foreign cultures including but not limited to the general background, geography, history, literature, society and religion of relevant foreign countries. Even when they practice skills such as reading, listening, speaking and writing, they are supposed to have a clear picture of the cultural background of a certain foreign country or region. Meanwhile, there is particular demand for ideological correctness for their future jobs as teachers, translators or interpreters. Apart from taking compulsory courses of ideological and political theory, foreign language majors shall be cultivated through delivery of ideological education by academic courses, national innovation and entrepreneurship education and extra-curricular activities.
