Authors: Aritonang Wosvo , Hasibuan Nelly Astuti , Hondro Rivalri Kristianto
Published: January 2021

Assignment of workers is something that is needed by the company. But in reality the company is difficult to place its employees in each allocation. However, with the development of existing technology, this can be minimized by calculating the cost of each work and each allocation by utilizing existing data and extraction to produce new knowledge. The application of operational research techniques using the Hungarian method and tested using a system or application as a decision tree to assign some decent workers to be placed on jobs within the company. Therefore the author took the initiative to make a thesis entitled "Application of the Hungarian Method in Assigning Ciptaland Development Workers". The assignment process can show every worker by the company. So that Ciptaland Development can be a reference in making decisions in assigning and allocating workers. In this study, an Assignment model was made to determine the allocation of workers who were fit to be placed. This method is quite efficient in the allocation of workers. In applying this hungarian method can provide solutions or considerations for companies in making decisions

Indicios de calentamiento global en temperaturas medias y mínimas para la ciudad de Bogotá, Colombia 1981-2015
Authors: Carvajal Téllez Raúl Alejandro
Published: January 2021

Esta investigación pretende constituir una línea base para la comprensión de indicios de calentamiento global en la ciudad de Bogotá a través de datos meteorológicos. Aportando conocimiento de nivel local que puede ser utilizado para la gestión del cambio climático, en el que se responden las preguntas ¿existen indicios de calentamiento global en la ciudad de Bogotá –Colombia en el período 1981-2015?  y ¿existen diferencias en las magnitudes de los indicios entre el medio urbano y rural?

La metodología se centra en el análisis de dos estaciones meteorológicas en entorno rural y urbano e indicadores provenientes de temperatura media y mínima. Las series son tratadas a través de herramientas estadísticas que aseguren coherencia de la serie y su homogeneidad, para la confirmación de tendencias se usa la prueba de tendencia estacional Mann-Kendall y curvas de densidad de probabilidad.

Las series climáticas indican una tasa lineal en el incremento de la temperatura media de 0,215 °C y en la mínima de 0,325 °C por década, resultado consistente por los reportados por la OMM. También, se encontraron diferencias entre las magnitudes del medio urbano y rural, como efecto de las propiedades radiativas de cada entorno que alteran el balance energético de cada zona climática. El estudio también relaciona las anomalías térmicas con los fenómenos niña y niño, encontrando que las fluctuaciones entorno a la media climática reportadas antes del año 2000 desaparecen como producto del calentamiento global.

Ability Stratification Predicts the Size of the Big-Fish-Little-Pond Effect
Authors: Parker Phil , Dicke Theresa , Guo Jiesi , Basarkod Geetanjali , Marsh Herb
Published: January 2021

Understanding how children’s broader context influences their development is critical if we are to develop policies that help them flourish. Combining sociological, economic, and psychological literature, we argue that ability stratification—the degree to which children of similar levels of ability are schooled together—influences a child’s academic self-concept. This is because countries with more ability stratification should have larger Big-Fish-Little-Pond Effects (the negative effect of school average achievement on academic self-concept). We used four cycles of the Trends in International Math and Science Study to test the hypothesis that more country-level ability stratification is associated with larger country-level Big-Fish-Little-Pond Effects for math self-concept. Findings strongly support this hypothesis. Our findings have implications for school system design and policy.
Relay-Assisted Satellite QKD Systems using MMW Radio-over-FSO for Vehicular Networks
Authors: Pham Thu Anh , Dang Ngoc T.
Published: January 2021

This paper aims at proposing a novel satellite quantum key distribution (QKD) system for vehicular networks. Quantum key from a satellite (i.e., a trusted node) is transmitted through a free-space optical (FSO) channel to a high-attitude platform (HAP) using radio-over-FSO (RoFSO) technique. HAP playing a role as a relaying node forwards the key to moving vehicles via millimeter-wave (MMW) channel. Key information generated is encoded on MMW subcarrier using binary phase shift keying (BPSK) signaling and then recovered at the receiver thanks to a dual-threshold detector. We derive the mathematical expressions for security analysis of the proposed QKD system in terms of quantum bit error rate and ergodic secret-key rate taking into account the channel loss and receiver noise. The numerical results confirm the feasibility of the proposed QKD system.
Spectral Efficiency Optimization for Full Duplex Multi-User MIMO Network
Authors: Le Mai Thi Phuong , Nguyen Hung Le , Nguyen Hieu Van , Nguyen Vien Duy Nhat
Published: January 2021

In this paper, we investigate the spectral efficiency (SE) of a multi-user multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) antenna network in full-duplex (FD) regime, where uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) users simultaneously share the same time and frequency resources. Zero-forcing approach is applied efficiently to precode/detect signals in both UL and DL. To achieve the SE maximization, we formulate an optimized problem where the transmit power of Base station (BS) and users are jointly considered. Numerical results are used to show that the proposed algorithm may bring significant SE gain over the previous approaches under realistic channel conditions.
Mutual Coupling Effect in Unequally - Spaced Linear Antenna Array Performance
Authors: Binh Nguyen Thanh , Dinh Nguyen Quoc , Yamada Yosihide
Published: January 2021

Unequally-spaced arrays can offer some advantages over equally-spaced arrays as follows: reducing the side-lobed level for the broadband array with an identical excitation coefficient. However, array design techniques do not take into account the mutual coupling effect among elements. In this article, the effect of mutual coupling on the array radiation pattern is investigated and discussed through studying the input impedance of the elements. Next, a technique for reducingmutual coupling based on radiation patterns of elements is presented. In this technique, the log-periodic dipole antenna with a frequency ranging from 900 MHz to 2500 MHz is selected as an array element. The results based on the FEKO magnetic field calculation program have shown that at 900 MHz, the proposed antenna array reaches a side-lobed level of -17.4 dB. At frequencies of 1500 MHz, 2000 MHz, 2500 MHz, the grating lobe levels of this antenna array are lower than 6.7 dB, 9.5 dBand 8.3 dB compared to those of the equally - spaced antenna array.

DISTRIBUTION OF MOBILE GENETIC ELEMENTS IN CANCER GENES
Authors: P Preeti , Baral Tapan Kumar , Rawal Kamal
Published: January 2021

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) represent a large portion of the human genome. Its ability tochange their position within the genome has contributed to evolution, however, the same has alsoresulted in several mutations. Many of such mutations are known to cause exon skipping orpremature truncation that result in non-functional or dysfunctional protein, leading to cancer. Here,in this study we aim to determine the distribution of MGEs in cancer-associated genes as comparedto non-cancer associated genes. We curated a list of genes for both the categories and downloadedthe nucleotide sequences of these genes and ran on RepeatMasker to identify the MGEs in eachgene. All the data generated with respect to each gene was parsed and compared. The resultsshowed that the number and the sequence length covered by the identified MGEs in cancer-associated genes were comparatively high. The abundance of MGEs may be correlated with thehigh risk of deletion/insertion of large DNA segments in these genes, that results in higher risk ofcancer. Further studies need to be performed for better clarity on these associations.

Over-expression of tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 3, PTPN3, in human endometrial cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: January 2021

Gynecologic cancers including cancers of the endometrium are a clinical problem (1, 2, 3, 4). We mined published microarray data (5, 6) to discover genes associated with endometrial cancers by comparing transcriptomes of the normal endometrium and endometrial tumors from humans. We identified the tyrosine-protein phosphatase non-receptor type 3, encoded by PTPN3, as among the most differentially expressed genes, transcriptome-wide, in cancers of the endometrium. PTPN3 was expressed at significantly higher levels in endometrial tumor tissues as compared to the endometrium. Importantly, high primary tumor expression of PTPN3 was correlated with worse overall survival in patients with endometrial cancer. Together, the data reveal over-expression of a protein tyrosine phosphatase in human endometrial cancer, a potential therapeutic target with enzymatic activity.
DHRS13 is a differentially expressed gene in brain metastatic human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: January 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that dehydrogenase/reductase 13, encoded by DHRS13, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. DHRS13 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of DHRS13 in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient recurrence-free survival. Modulation of DHRS13 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

Dynamic recrystallization by subgrain rotation in olivine revealed by electron backscatter diffraction
Authors: Lopez-Sanchez Marco , Tommasi Andrea , Ben Ismail Walid , Barou Fabrice
Published: January 2021

We document how dynamic recrystallization by subgrain rotation (SGR) develops in natural olivine-rich rocks deformed in extension to up to 50% bulk finite strain (1473 K, confining pressure of 300 MPa, and stresses between 115 and 180 MPa) using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) mapping. SGR occurs preferentially in highly deformed grains (well-oriented to deform by dislocation glide) subjected to local stress concentrations due to interactions with hard neighbouring grains (poorly-oriented olivine crystals or pyroxenes). Subgrains (misorientation <15°) are mainly delimited by tilt walls composed of combinations of dislocations of the [100](001), [001](100), [100](010) and [001](010) systems, in order of decreasing frequency. The activation and prevalence of these systems agree with a Schmid factor analysis using data for high-T dislocation creep in olivine. The development of closed 3D subgrain cells by SGR recrystallization requires the contribution of at least three different slip systems, implying the activation of hard slip systems and high (local) stresses. The transition from subgrain to grain boundaries (misorientation ≥15°) is characterized by a sharp change in the misorientation axes that accommodate the difference in orientation between the two subgrains or grains. We propose that this change marks the creation and incorporation of new defects (grain boundary dislocations with different Burger vectors and, likely, disclinations or disconnections) at the newly-formed grain boundaries and that this might be favoured by stress concentrations due to increasing misalignment between slip systems across the boundary. Finally, we document the development of strong misorientations within the parent grains, due to the accumulation of low angle grain boundaries, and between them and the recrystallized grains. SGR recrystallization may thus produce strong dispersion of the crystal preferred orientation without the need for grain boundary sliding.
Promoting farsighted decisions via episodic future thinking: A meta-analysis
Authors: Rösch Sarah Alica , Stramaccia Davide Francesco , Benoit Roland Georg
Published: January 2021

Episodic future thinking (EFT) denotes our capacity to imagine prospective events. It has been suggested to promote farsighted decisions that entail a trade-off between short-term versus long-term gains. Here, we meta-analyze the evidence for the impact of EFT on such intertemporal choices that have monetary or health-relevant consequences. Across 174 effect sizes from 48 articles, a three-level model yielded a medium-sized effect of g = 0.44, 95% CI [0.33, 0.55]. Notably, this analysis included a substantial number of unpublished experiments, and the effect remained significant following further adjustments for remaining publication bias. We exploited the observed heterogeneity to determine critical core components that moderate the impact of EFT. Specifically, the effect was stronger when the imagined events were positive, more vivid, and related to the delayed choice. We further obtained evidence for the contribution of the episodicity and future-orientedness of EFT. These results indicate that the impact of EFT cannot simply be accounted for by other modes of prospection (e.g., semantic future thinking). Of note, EFT had a greater impact in samples characterized by choice impulsivity (e.g., in obesity), suggesting that EFT can ameliorate maladaptive decision making. It may accordingly constitute a beneficial intervention for individuals who tend to make myopic decisions. Our analyses moreover indicated that the effect is unlikely to merely reflect demand characteristics. This meta-analysis thus highlights the potential of EFT in promoting long-term goals, a finding that extends from the laboratory to real-life decisions.
Initiation of non-heterosexual relationships
Authors: Valentova Jaroslava Varella , Varella Marco Antonio Correa
Published: January 2021

Human sexual orientation is an intriguing phenomenon which is still poorly understood and has important evolutionary implications. Evolutionary based studies mostly focus on heterosexual individuals and relationships, probably because non-heterosexuality concerns a minority of the population and decreases individual direct reproductive success. To better understand human nature, it is important to analyse whether the mating psychology of minorities exhibit specific evolved sexual/reproductive strategies. Here we review studies on partner preferences, mate choice, and flirting in non-heterosexual populations, to identify which patterns are similar to or different from heterosexuals. The general pattern supports the notion that sex differences are larger than within sex variation among people of different sexual orientations. However, although some mating strategies among non-heterosexuals resemble heterosexuals of the same sex, others resemble heterosexuals of the opposite sex, and yet in others, the pattern is different than among either heterosexual men or women. We point to limitations of the current state of this research, and we suggest possible future directions in the study of non-heterosexual relationship initiation.
Wait and see? Public opinion dynamics after terrorist attacks
Authors: Giani Marco , Epifanio Mariaelisa , Ivandic Ria
Published: January 2021

We use the occurrence of the London bombings in July 7 2005 during the fieldwork period of the British Social Attitudes Survey to analyse the dynamics of public support for measures curbing core freedoms. We observe no changes of public stances in the first week after the attack. Approval of infringements on privacy and procedural rights surges in the following weeks before stabilizing at an increased level in the medium run. Our findings indicate that the public adopts a wait-and-see attitude when it comes to restrictive counter-terrorist measures. These results run against the hypothesis of an over-reactive citizenry driven by fear. People do not seem to spontaneously demand liberticidal policies, but appear to follow elite cues. Ancillary analyses point to the media as the main source of persuasion.
GENDER SPECIFICITY OF EXPRESSION OF EMOTIONS IN THE DISCOURSE OF SOCIAL NETWORKS

Published: January 2021

The article deals with the gender specificity of the expression of emotions in social media. A person perceives and reflects the world around him / her and fixes these ideas in language. It is noted that the emotional assessment of reality is displayed both in the semantics of words, phrases, various syntactic structures, and non-verbal communication as well. The gender factor is considered to be one of the essential characteristics of the personality and affects the identification of the speaking subject by other members of the society.
EVERYDAY LIFE REFLECTION WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC: NATURAL EXPERIMENT IN ACADEMIA
Authors: Adams Paul
Published: January 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic created a profound challenge for universities and colleges. In the USA, the response to the viral outbreak within institutions of higher education was largely driven by individual decision-makers, including professors, department chairs, and deans. As a professor of geography, the author undertook auto-ethnography as both process and product, a way to learn about his competencies and coping strategies, his social interactions and responses, and his engagements with social power relations from a particular positionality. As a scholar with longstanding interest in communication media, the author focused on a trajectory from the campus to the home office, from place-based scholarship to the online contexts of «distance learning», from in-place communications to dependence on digital technologies. The study reveals resilience and adaptation but also incompleteness and fragility.

Published: January 2021

Introduction: Intussusception is rate in adults and is usually secondary to a definable pathology. This study was designed to review adult intussusception, including presentation, diagnosis, and pathology.

Methods: A retrospective study of 18 cases of intussusception in individuals older than 18 years of age visiting the department of surgery of Civil Service Hospital from 2010 to 2018 was done.

Results: There were 18 cases of adult intussusception. The mean age was 49.2 years (range 19-84 years). Abdominal pain and vomiting were the commonest symptoms. The median duration of presentation was 5 days (range 20 hours to 10 months). Three patients (16.6%) presented with generalized peritonitis. There were eight ileocolic, seven ileoileal, and three colocolic intussusceptions. Two patients (11.1%) settled spontaneously. Twelve out of the 18 patients (66.6%) had leading lesions. Benign pathologies were seen in seven cases (38.8%) and malignant in five patients (27.7%). All malignancies were in the large bowl

Conclusions: Adult intussusception is a rare entity, nearly one-third of their causes are malignant. Surgery is the best recommended treatment, with or without a primary reduction of the intussusception; the latter can result in more limited bowel resection.

When studying the role of the price mechanism in the sustainable development of the economy, in accordance with the requirements of the modern economic mechanism, first of all, attention should be paid to the issue of state regulation of prices. The attitude to state regulation of prices is ambiguous. Existing control over the implementation of state regulation of the prices of a group of products based on the social protection of the population and the economic interests of the state, and economic legitimacy is sometimes perceived as a violation of economic democracy. However, the analysis of the role of the price factor in economic development proves that this idea has no basis. Thus, it is not possible to make accurate calculations so that the price of the product can change at any time for various reasons. Therefore, it is advisable to approach these calculations on the basis of fuzzy logic.

The study used a set of scientific methods and approaches, including logical generalization, system, comparison method, graphical and tabular, which allowed to ensure the conceptual unity of the study. Results of work. Given the unified business model of the studied VCCs, an important issue to be addressed is to determine the choice of the most effective strategy that would meet the requirements of the VCC to achieve sustainable development goals in conditions of limited funding and strengthen the SEB SR VCC. Field of application of results. In the field of economic sciences and in the practical activities of sanatoriums. Conclusions. The study is aimed at developing a methodology for implementing the principles of sustainable development in modeling the processes of providing quality services in the field of spa services. The developed model is implemented using the methods of multifactor fuzzy modeling: the method of hierarchy analysis (MAI) and the method of structuring the quality function (QFD) and the use of indicators of sustainable development in terms of fuzzy structuring of quality functions. QFD makes it possible to transform the value for the consumer into the technical characteristics of the IC services, to prioritize and identify tasks for the optimization of health services. viable strategies for eliminating or reducing these risks are formed. The impact of each strategy on the achievement of the goals of the SE SRS VHF is determined by a fuzzy IAI scale.

Today, Ukraine is at the stage of entering the world educational space, which requires changes both in the criteria for assessing the quality of education and in the methodology of the educational process, which is impossible without structural reform of the entire national higher education system. Among the main tasks facing higher education institutions are the following: guaranteeing the employment of future professionals not only in domestic but also in foreign markets in conditions of high competition, as well as providing conditions for professional mobility of graduates. The aim of modernization of higher education should be to combine the best achievements of Ukrainian and foreign experience in the field of personal education, which is able to actively assimilate and generate knowledge obtained from different sources and prone to independent action. An analysis of recent research and publications that address this issue and on which the authors rely. Problems of analysis and implementation of the latest educational technologies and methods for the implementation of the competency approach in the training of future professionals are in the scientific interest of modern domestic teachers, scientists and practitioners, including O. Ovcharuk, T. Turkot, G. Yelnikova, J. Delor, O Kovershnikov, O. Lokshina, L. Petrenko, O. Pometun, V. Radkevich, O. Savchenko, N. Gordenko, V. Andrushchenko, L. Sushchentseva, V. Yagupov and others. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the latest educational technologies and methods for implementing a competency-based approach in the training of future professionals. Determining the main activities of higher education, should focus on the organization of the educational process so that each student becomes a subject of self-development and self-organization, able to independently obtain information from various sources, analyze and assimilate it through research and cognitive activities within a competent approach. Thus, the reorganization of education on the principles of competence approach in the educational process should be based on the development of necessary competencies, using analytical and project thinking of the student, as well as motivational aspects and the student's desire to self-organize and acquire knowledge independently.

Primary vertebral leiomyosarcoma of the spine is extremely rare. Due to its rarity, the number of studies on
pathology, treatment and prognosis is limited. Tissue Biopsy and Immunohistochemical staining techniques
provide unequivocal diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma. The mainstay of treatment of spinal leiomyosarcoma is
surgery, with or without radiotherapy and embolization. The principles of surgery comprise resection of
tumor, decompression and stabilisation of the spinal cord and prevention of tumor recurrence. The Tomita
total en-bloc resection is the preferred surgical technique. We hereby present a literature review of spinal
leiomyosarcoma and a case report of the first case of a 56-year-old lady in Malaysia who was diagnosed
with L3 vertebral leiomyosarcoma and lung metastasis.

On the experimental fields of “Lotivka Elite” LLC of Shepetivka district of Khmelnytsky region the estimation of spatial heterogeneity of indicators of physical and chemical properties of chernozem podzolic was carried out. Statistical analysis of the data was performed on the following indicators: number of observations (n); average value (Xav); standard deviation (S); coefficient of variation (Cv); absolute error of the mean (SXav). The analysis of the probability of the nature of the humus content was performed according to the humus content index - the ratio of the actual humus content at the control point to the arithmetic mean. It is revealed that the probability of manifestation of average (typical) values of humus content at the studied object does not exceed 50%, deviations of probabilities from the average level of humus content in the direction of decrease do not exceed 40% of territorial distribution. Spatial variability of humus and mobile calcium content is average, CV is 19–23% (10 more CV less than 25). Statistical parameter of calcium content in the soil layer 0-30 cm on average - 252.4 ± 10.0, maximum - 350.0 ± 9.11 mg on 100 g of soil. In general, the field is dominated by soils with a content of mobile calcium 240.0-290.0 mg on 100 g of soil. Active acidity was characterized by low variability, the average was 6.5 ± 0.3, the maximum - 7.3 ± 0.2 pH units. The yield of winter wheat had a low degree of variability with an average of 87.4 ± 4.3 c on ha.
