Published: August 2021

The article discusses functioning characteristics of small educational enterprises on the example of an independent not-for-profit organization of extended education in the conditions of digitalization of economic processes. The notion of “digital environment” and its components, opportunities of educational organizations, their external settings, and the demand for their digital activities are in the focal point of the article. Digital economy requires from educational institutions to restructure and implement changes in their major operations and to solve the problems arising: reviewing educational syllabi with the issues of digitalization inclusive, changing the class format, opportunities to provide educational services on the territory of Russia regardless the location of an educational institution, qualitative cost restructuring of educational services. To solve the problems, it is crucial to actively implement digital technologies in the operations of small educational enterprises, to retrain staff, to universally apply outsourcing, to implement enterprise-wide electronic document flow. The authors concluded that at present, conditions have been formed that make it possible to successfully use and further develop digital technologies in the activities of educational small firms.
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES OF CRYPTOCURRENCY (ON THE EXAMPLE OF BITCOIN)
Authors: Kozlova E.I. , Bessonova D.A.
Published: August 2021

The article analyzes the changes taking place in the investment market due to the emergence of innovative blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, which are increasingly used as alternative investments in the management of a securities portfolio, along with traditional types of financial assets, such as money, bonds and shares. The methodological basis of the study is a dialectical approach that provides an understanding of the interdependence of technological changes and the rethinking of the role of fractional, decentralized, fluid assets with lower settlement risk, which are digital assets, in comparison with the traditional payment system in fiat currencies. The available current sample period of the cryptocurrency Index (CRIX) is too small to fully explore the investment opportunities of cryptocurrencies. In addition, the evaluation of cryptocurrencies is very different from the evaluation of traditional investment tools. There is also no clarity on the development of blockchain technology in the long term. At the same time, even today, the success of several cryptocurrencies (in particular, bitcoin) exerts competitive pressure on transaction methods from existing financial institutions [1], which determines the need for forecasting and analyzing price movements in the cryptocurrency markets. The article offers a sequence of actions for evaluating the profitability of investments on the example of bitcoin.
PROCEDURAL STATUS OF A LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE IN THE MODERN RUSSIAN CRIMINAL PROCESS
Authors: Tatyanina L.G. , Markovicheva E.V.
Published: August 2021

The article reveals the features of the normative consolidation of the procedural status of a legal representative in the Russian criminal process. The authors focus their attention on the problems of investigative and judicial practice related to the shortcomings of the current legislation. The most important issues that need to be addressed as soon as possible have been identified. Particular attention is drawn to the need to resolve problems arising from conflicts between a legitimate representative and a person represented by him/her, which gives rise, on the one hand, to grounds for appealing against decisions made, and on the other, to a conflict between the parties, which may affect their subsequent relationship. The absence of a single rule regulating the rights of legal representatives raises questions in practice about the possibility of their participation in individual investigative and procedural actions, applications, etc. Attention is drawn to the lack of regulation in the law of the duties of a legal representative in criminal proceedings, which creates controversial situations when assessing their behavior, especially when deciding on their removal from participation in the case. The article concludes that it is necessary to develop a single, universal model of legal representation in criminal proceedings.

Authors: ÇAKIR Hülya , KESKİN M. Erol
Published: August 2021

In general, the Muskingum-Cunge method is used to route floods when observed flood data are not available. In this study, applicability of the Variable Parameter Muskingum-Cunge (VPMC) flood routing method was investigated in a gauged creek reach. The reach was between two stream gauging stations. Some physical characteristics of the reach, such as length, bed slope, cross sections, and Manning’s coefficient (n), were determined by using digital topographical map of the reach, inflow, and also outflow data of the two stream gauging stations. The HEC-HMS hydrological model was used to route the inflow hydrograph through using the VPMC method. In conclusion, observed and computed outflow hydrographs were compared and it was seen that the VPMC flood routing method was suitable for the gauged creek reach, which was the subject of this study.

Teachers' Perspectives on Higher Order Thinking Skills Among Students

Abstract: This study was conducted to explore the perspectives of teachers related to high -level thinking skills (HLTS) among students. This study used a semi -structured interview method involving an experienced teacher. The instruments used in this study consisted of an interview protocol and a laptop. The results of the study found that HOTS among students still need to be empowered and influenced by differences in socioeconomic levels and types of schools. Student factors, teaching aids, and classroom conditions were found to influence the selection of teaching strategies to foster HOTS among students. The study also found that questioning techniques can be used to improve KBAT among students, while giving KBAT questions consistently, the use of 21st century learning methods (PAK21) and group assignments can be used to encourage the application of KBAT when students face assessment. The findings of the study also show that time constraints and inactive student factors provide a challenge to teachers to cultivate HOTS among students. As an implication, all parties need to play an appropriate role in efforts to improve HOTS among students so that educational goals can be realized.

Published: August 2021

The provision of resources at the Cloud follows two generic models. The first model guarantees the provided resources for the requested time while the second involves unreliable resources with lower price compared to the former scheme but with no guarantees concerning an unexpected revocation due to a high demand. In this paper, we focus on the latter model and propose a scheme that monitors the course of execution of tasks placed at unreliable resources and decides when to store their current progress avoid jeopardizing intermediate outcomes in unexpected revocations. We rely on the principles of Optimal Stopping Theory (OST) to manage multiple tasks and decide for which task and when we have to save its current status. The outcome is a novel checkpointing mechanism fully aligned with the needs of the dynamics of an unreliable environment. The proposed model builds upon the heterogeneity of the available services in the Cloud and concludes a proactive mitigation approach of the revocation risk for unreliable virtualized resources. We present the theoretical basis of our mechanism and describe the solution of the identified problem. The pros and cons of our approach are evaluated through extensive simulations and a set of performance metrics.

SPORCULARIN KALP ATIM HIZININ ESP-NOW KULLANILARAK KABLOSUZ İLETİMİ
Authors: DÜNDAR Ömer Muhsin , AYDIN Ahmet
Published: August 2021

Bilimsel yaklaşımlarla antrenman programları hazırlamak ve sporcu egzersiz verilerini izlemek için geliştirilen teknolojiler günümüzün popüler konuları arasında yer almaktadır. Uygun yük izleme, bir sporcunun antrenman programına uygunluğunu belirlemeye, aşırı yüklenme ve yaralanma riskini en aza indirmeye yardımcı olmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, sporda kalp atış hızı takibi, sporcunun durumunu izlemek için invazif olmayan, zaman açısından verimli ve düşük maliyetli en kolay yöntem olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Sporcudan kalp atım hızı bilgisini almak için çeşitli yöntemler kullanılmaktadır, ancak en doğru sonucu doğrudan göğüs üzerine takılan EKG tabanlı kemerler vermektedir. Bu yöntem ile elde edilen veriler genellikle sporcunun kolunda bulunan saat veya benzeri aparatlar yardımı ile takip edilmekte, uzaktan takibi doğrudan yapılamamaktadır. Bu çalışma sonucunda, EKG tabanlı göğüs kemerinden alınan veriler, ESP-NOW iletişim protokolü ile uzakta bulunan antrenörlere aktarılarak sporcuların anlık kalp atım hızı değişimleri gözlenebilecektir. Bu iletişim protokolünün sunduğu bazı önemli avantajlar ise, ESP32 içinde bulunan Wi-Fi donanımını modem gibi ekstra gereksinimlere ihtiyaç duymadan kullanması, hızlı ve düşük güç tüketimine sahip olmasıdır. Dolayısıyla, harici bir RF modülünün neden olacağı ekstra maliyet ve boyuttan kaçınılarak yüksek performanslı bir sistem ucuz ve küçük bir boyutta geliştirilebilmiştir.
HYBRID THE ARITHMETIC OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM FOR CONSTRAINED OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS
Authors: BAŞ Emine
Published: August 2021

Since many real-world problems can be designed as optimization problems, heuristic algorithms are increasingly preferred by researchers. The Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm (AOA) is a newly developed heuristic algorithm. It uses four arithmetic operations in its structure. The addition and subtraction operators enhanced the AOA's local search capability, while the multiplication and division operators enhanced the AOA's global search capability. It has been hybridized with the Tree Seed Algorithm (TSA) to increase the success of AOA. Thus, hybrid AOA-TSA (HAOA) has been proposed. The seed production mechanism of TSA is placed in the random walking stage of AOA. New candidate solutions (seeds) have been produced with the arithmetic operators involved in AOA and the candidate solutions have been compared with the existing solutions. Thus, the performance of AOA has increased. In this study, the success of AOA and HAOA was tested in thirteen constrained optimization problems. The success of AOA and HAOA has been tested for their performance in six different population sizes. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test was applied to the obtained results and its success has been proved statistically. The results proved the superiority of HAOA. HAOA has been compared with other heuristic methods in the literature and the success of HAOA has been shown. Additionally, AOA and HAOA have also been tested on three different engineering design problems. The results are discussed and evaluated.
Literature Review and Data Analysis on the Impacts of Prolonged Events on Transit System Ridership

Published: August 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically disrupted transit operations and induced significant transit ridership losses worldwide. Given its unprecedented duration, magnitude, and scale, the long-term effects are still unclear. Despite the differences, we can learn from previous disruptive events, such as terrorist attacks and epidemics, in the past 30 years and draw qualitative and quantitative insights about public reactions, ridership recovery periods, and transit agency responses during and after those events. This study sought to understand ridership variations during the current COVID-19 pandemic and inform transit agencies’ future decisions. This project’s research team therefore reviewed the impacts of selected historical events. They observed the following: (i) that most of the reviewed incidents (except for the 9/11 attacks) did not impose prolonged post-event effects on transit ridership for more than one year; (ii) that executive orders (e.g., school closures), transportation services (e.g., intensified airport safety screening and rail station closures), public fear, media reports, and reduced tourism were frequently mentioned as key factors that impacted transit ridership; and (iii) that measures, such as sanitizing vehicles and facilities, improving communications with the public, and promotions and advertisements, can potentially help restore transit ridership. The research team also developed a modeling framework that integrated a Bayesian structural time-series model, a dynamics model for daily transit ridership loss, a prediction module, and ordinary least squares regression to study COVID-19’s effects on the Chicago Transit Authority’s rail ridership. The researchers undertook a model of ridership on the CTA rail system as a potential first step to modeling COVID-19’s effects on transit ridership in northeastern Illinois. The researchers have not modeled ridership on any other transportation mode in northeastern Illinois at this time. The statistical analysis showed that remote learning/work policies and executive orders had answered for most of the ridership loss. Socioeconomic and land-use characteristics could effectively capture their effects. However, these characteristics could not explain people’s different reactions to reported deaths and media attention. Different population groups may have reacted differently to policy decisions, but their responses to reported deaths and media coverage seem random and independent of sociodemographic factors.
METHOD OF OPTIMIZING ELEMENTS OF INTEGRATED OPTICAL AUTHENTICATION MODULE
Authors: Кулиш Ольга Александровна
Published: August 2021

В ходе информационного обмена между локальными вычислительными сетями пользователей передаваемая информация проходит через не защищенную сеть провайдера связи. Отсутствие аутентификации коммутаторов позволяет злоумышленникам осуществлять сетевые атаки на коммутаторы второго уровня модели OSI. Для устранения проблемы аутентификации коммутационного оборудования канального уровня можно использовать модуль аутентификации, встроенный в коммутатор. В работе приведена схема интегрально-оптического интерферометра для устройства управления оптическим излучением модуля аутентификации. Так как для передачи кода аутентификации применяется ослабленное лазерное излучение, то актуальным является расчет потерь оптического сигнала в интерферометре. Высокие потери оптического излучения могут происходить во внутреннем двойном изгибе спирали и во входном и выходном разветвителях интерферометра. Разработана методика оптимизации этих элементов интерферометра для уменьшения потерь оптического сигнала. Методика основана на методе распространяющегося пучка, методе эффективного показателя преломления и конечно-элементном анализе. На основе разработанной методики можно оценить оптимальное смещение волноводов в точке перегиба внутреннего S-изгиба спирали, геометрические параметры входного и выходного разветвителей.

During information exchange between local computer networks of users, the transmitted information passes through an unprotected network of a communication provider. The lack of switch authentication allows attackers to carry out network attacks on Layer 2 switches of the OSI model. You can use the authentication module built into the switch to resolve the link layer switching equipment authentication problem. The work shows the integrated optical interferometer circuit for the optical radiation control device of the authentication module. Since attenuated laser light is used to transmit the authentication code, the calculation of optical signal losses in the interferometer is relevant. High losses of optical radiation can occur in the inner double bend of the spiral and in the input and output splitters of the interferometer. A technique has been developed to optimize these interferometer elements to reduce optical signal losses. The technique is based on the propagating beam method, the effective refractive index method, and finite element analysis. Based on the developed technique, the optimal displacement of waveguides at the inflection point of the internal S-bend of the spiral, the geometric parameters of the input and output splitters can be estimated.

Published: August 2021

Crude Sodium Di-Uranate (SDU) of Tummalapalle mine India, contains 2-3% (w/w) of silica besides 5-7% (w/w) of organic matter including polyacrylamides and humic masses with 2-5% Zirconium (Zr) (w/w) as major impurities, hence the direct conversion of SDU, to Nuclear Grade (NG) Ammonium Di-Uranate Cake (ADUC) for
fuel fabrication via HNO3-Tributyl Phosphate (TBP) extraction route is onerous due to silica gel creation, third phase inception enounces presence of excess Zr and micro-emulsion formation confirms organic matter introduces difficulties in filtration, recovery and purification stages. Various analytical techniques such as X-Ray Diffraction Analysis (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) as well as Inductively Coupled Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) has been utilized to characterize raw material (SDU), intermediate products (gel and residues) as well as final product (NG-ADUC). In this research; an innovative, novel route for dissolution of SDU employing sulphamic acid (25% w/v) to remove silica, organic matter, and Zr followed by the conventional route to NG-ADU; eliminates the three major process difficulties viz., (i) gelation, (ii) third phase formation and (iii) microemulsion formation. In addition, sulphamic acid extracted Uranium (U)-bearing stream ultimately articulates 99.5% overall U recovery and enunciates nuclear grade U with desirable morphological characteristics.

Published: August 2021

This paper investigates Curriculum Implementation in Public Primary Schools by the Management Boards in Tongeren Sub-County, Bungoma County, Kenya. The study objective was to establish the preparedness of the school management boards in curriculum implementation. The sample size for the study was 136 where Board members were 92 while teaching staff were 44. The study adopted both qualitative and quantitative research designs. Data was collected through questionnaires and interview schedules. The questionnaire was used on the education officers, the headteachers, and teachers, while the interview schedules were used on the School Management Boards. Descriptive and inferential analysis techniques were used to analyze the collected data. Cronbach Alpha’s measure of internal consistency yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.756 on the questionnaire. Qualitative data collected were analyzed thematically. Quantitative data gathered from the field survey was analyzed using regression on SPSS version 25. The study noted that 96.8% of the school management boards were not initially trained in curriculum implementation by Kenya Education Management Institute (KEMI). Findings further indicate that the correlation coefficient (R-value) for the model was 0.151, indicating a low positive relationship between the variables. The Coefficient of determination (R2) was 23%, implying that the studied variables accounted for 23% variability in the curriculum implementation in public primary schools at a 95% confidence interval. This was an indication that members of the school management boards were unlikely to oversee proper curriculum implementation for lack of management skills. Sensitization and organization of regular in-service courses for school management boards on matters of curriculum implementation are recommended.

Evaluating and offering strategies for the existence of traditional Balinese alcoholic drinks that have the potential as a tourist attraction in Tri Eka Buana Village, Sidemen, Karangasem is the main goal of this research. For this purpose, different data collection tools were used, namely through interviews and questionnaires given to the Bali Provincial Tourism Office, the Village Head, the Head of the Tourism Awareness Group, and the Head of the Arak Cooperative in the village. Evaluation of the influence of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) as well as quantitative strategic planning matrix (QSPM) analysis techniques are used to identify the appropriate management strategy. The results showed that Balinese wine has the potential to be developed in the form of arak agro-tourism. Its development must involve the participation of local communities as stakeholders and shareholders. Arak agrotourism can be an alternative for arak farmers who are not willing to cooperate with alcoholic beverage management bodies to be marketed to the tourism industries. These tourism options play a role in improving the community's economy and have a sustainable impact on biodiversity.

Published: August 2021

The implementation of Ngaben is one of the Balinese Hindu traditions for the ceremony of a death. The implementation of Ngaben is a ceremony with a series of many activities and invites a crowd of people. The COVID-19 pandemic period requires people not to carry out gathering activities so that they do not become the cause of the spread of the virus and how to keep ceremonial activities running without reducing meaning. The purpose of this study is to qualitatively identify the culture of gathering during cremation and the solutions offered so that gathering activities do not occur and become the spread of covid-19. This study used a qualitative method through a phenomenological approach, using 4 participants (people who are directly related to religious activities, including the community, community leaders namely head of the ward, 1 participant is a religious leader from the Indonesian Hindu Dharma Association in the Buleleng area). Sampling with nonprobability sampling and using purposive sampling. The results of the study found that there were 3 major themes that were found (1) Ngaben is local wisdom or as a very rigid culture, (2) Ngaben as a form of spreading covid and forming a covid cluster, (3) Changes in Ngaben cultural behavior from conventional to Crematorium. The conclusion is that the community cannot stop cremation activities because it is local wisdom, so to prevent new clusters of covid at the cremation ceremony, the community is required to change their behavior and slowly change the cremation that can be done in the crematorium.
Does the Pandemic Matter? Diagnosing the Immediate Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Financial Security of Small Enterprises in Poland
Authors: Kordela Dominika , Pettersen-Sobczyk Monika
Published: August 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic broke out unexpectedly, and it is difficult to anticipate its future effects. As a result of the lockdowns, many enterprises were forced to curtail their business as early as in the first months of the pandemic. In view of such unprecedented phenomena, a question arises about possible effects of the pandemic on the financial standing of enterprises. The authors of this paper aimed to assess the immediate effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the financial security of small enterprises in Poland, since the financial security is seen as an important factor influencing organizational resilience. This article applies the desk research and comparative analysis methods, which were conduct based on statistic office data. The studied enterprises were analysed in terms of changes in their liquidity ratios, sales profitability ratios as well as their revenue and profit levels – the results have shown a considerable diversity across sectors. Based on the assessment of changes in the indicators, the analysed sectors were categorised as: resistant sectors, hardly affected sectors, moderately affected sectors, severely affected sectors. The analysis of the selected indicators of financial security has shown that the financial result as well profitability levels were the indicators that deteriorated in the greatest number of sectors. Surprisingly, financial liquidity remained the most stable indicator.

Monisärmäinen punainen historia

Published: August 2021

Tässä artikkelissa keskitymme tarkastelemaan, miten Suomen sisällissodan hävinneen puolen rooli sodassa, kokemukset ja muistaminen on huomioitu suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa eri aikakausina. Lähestymme aihetta kolmesta näkökulmasta. Tarkastelemme ensin, miten punaiset on huomioitu historiantutkimuksessa ja kouluopetuksessa. Sen jälkeen pohdimme, miten punaisten kokemuksia on käsitelty taiteissa, kuten kirjallisuudessa, elokuvissa ja teatterissa. Kolmanneksi nostamme esiin, miten punaisia on muistettu, niin julkisesti kuin yksityisesti. Artikkelimme kannalta keskeisiä työkaluja ovat historiapolitiikan, muistin politiikan, historiakulttuurin ja historiatietoisuuden käsitteet.

Sisällissotaa koskevassa historian tuottamisessa historiapolitiikka on aina vahvasti läsnä. Joku tai jotkut päättävät, millaiset tulkinnat historiantutkimuksessa ja kulttuurissa ovat kulloinkin hyväksyttäviä. Vuoden 1918 jälkeen nämä tulkinnat olivat voittajien sanelemia, mikä on universaali ilmiö. Samoin sodan jälkeen punaisia kohtaan harjoitettiin vahvaa muistin politiikkaa. Hävinneitä ei kirjoitettu mukaan kansalliseen kertomukseen tasavertaisina kansalaisina ja myös heidän oikeuttaan harjoittaa julkista muistamista rajoitettiin. Historian käyttö oli selkeää vallan käyttöä.

Sisällissodan jälkeen sodan julkista muistamista hallitsi voittajapuoli vuosikymmenten ajan ja häviäjien oli tyydyttävä muistelemaan omia menetyksiään yksityisesti, perheen, työyhteisön tai työväenliikkeen keskuudessa. Tänä päivänä tilanne on melkeinpä kääntynyt vastakkaiseksi. Valkoisten perintöä ylläpitäviä järjestöjä ja yhdistyksiä on edelleen olemassa useita kymmeniä, mutta vaikka punaisilla ei vastaavia järjestöjä enää ole, punaisten kokemusten käsittely on näkyvämpää kuin valkoisen puolen. Sisällissodan kokeneiden sukupolvi on kuollut, mutta ylisukupolvinen muistaminen jatkuu vahvana ja näkyy eri tavoin niin taiteissa kuin muissa yhteyksissä.
Katsaus valkoisten ja vapaussodan perintöön

Artikkelissa luodaan katsaus valkoisten perintöön: Vapaussodan historiantulkinnan ja perinnön syntyyn, sen luomiseen, siihen liittyvään keruutoimintaan sekä perinnössä tapahtuneita historiallisia muutoksia. Vaikka vapaussota dominoi historiaa sisällissodasta aina 1960-luvulle sulkien punaisen näkökulman ulkopuolelle, ei se kuitenkaan ollut monoliitti vaan jakoi osaltaan myös valkoisia. 1990-luvulla historiassa ja julkisessa keskustelussa alkaneen uusisänmaallisen käänteen myötä vapaussotatulkinta on osaltaan palannut näyttämölle, mutta sivuosassa ja monimuotoisesti tulkittuna.

Introduction: Among unique cardiovascular risk factors in women are complications during pregnancy,including miscarriage. Important risk factor is also genetic background. One of powerful candidate genesfor cardiovascular disease of atherosclerotic origin (aCVD) is gene for connexin 37 (Cx37) with stronggene-environment interaction including smoking status, that is also strong risk factor for complications inpregnancy including spontaneous abortion (SA). Material and Methods: We analysed association betweenSA and Cx37 gene polymorphism (1019C>T; Pro319Ser) in 547 foetuses and its potential interaction withsmoking status of mothers. Using genetic analyses from women from general population as controls, ORsfor T allele, found in our previous studies to be protective against a CVD, were calculated. This study wasa secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial. Results and Conclusion: T allele carriers (foetuses),had OR 0.91 (95 % CI 0.72-1.14) and no interaction with smoking was observed. In conclusion, no significantassociation between Cx37 polymorphism and SA was observed and no modifying effect of smoking statuson this association was detected.
