The reality of human rights in Egypt after the January 2011 revolution A study in reports of international non-governmental organizations
Authors: Khero Hussam Mamdouh
Published: September 2020

The research in our hands seeks to reveal the reality of human rights in Egypt after the January 2011 revolution and has the revolution succeeded in achieving its slogans of (living, freedom, and social justice) as it succeeded in removing former President Mohamed Hosni Mubarak?

The research also seeks to solve the problem related to the Egyptian human rights, which links the security of the Egyptian citizen and his rights, as the researcher assumes that the political system that forms on the ruins of Mubarak’s rule put the Egyptian citizen between these two options without the right to enjoy both, so long as security is weak, there is no room to talk about human rights .

The researcher has relied on the reports of Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch as two international non-governmental organizations specializing in human rights and they have experience in this file the big thing, so we examined their reports for the years after the January revolution in study and analysis in our endeavor to prove the hypothesis that the researcher started and which we explained above.

The proem of Parmenides’ poem
Authors: Afonasin Eugene V.
Published: September 2020

The paper offers a detailed interpretation of the proem of Parmenides’ great Poem. The subjects discussed include the relationship Parmenides could possibly have with the Orphic movement (particularly the Derveni cosmology), the identity of the hero of the poem and the goddess that reveals him the truth, the topographic peculiarities of his heavenly travel, some technical questions, etc. In general, my intention is to demonstrate that the rich cultural and literary context of the proem decisively contributes to a clearer understanding of philosophical ideas, for the first time expressed by Parmenides.
Evaluating the Fitness of Combinations of Adsorbents for Quantitative Gas Sensor Arrays
Authors: Sousa Rachel , Simon Cory
Published: September 2020

Robust, high-performance gas sensing technology has applications in industrial process monitoring and control, air quality monitoring, food quality assessment, medical diagnosis, and security threat detection. Nanoporous materials (NPMs) could be utilized as recognition elements in a gas sensor because they selectively adsorb gas. Imitating mammalian olfaction, sensor arrays of NPMs use measurements of the adsorbed mass of gas in a set of distinct NPMs to infer the gas composition. Modular and adjustable NPMs, such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), offer a vast materials space to sample for combinations to comprise a sensor array that produces a response pattern rich with information about the gas composition.

Herein, we frame quantitative gas sensing, using arrays of NPMs, as an inverse problem, which equips us with a method to evaluate the fitness of a proposed combination of NPMs in a sensor array. While the (routine) forward problem is to use an adsorption model to predict the mass of gas adsorbed in the NPMs when immersed in a gas mixture of a given composition, the inverse problem is to predict the gas composition from the observed mass of adsorbed gas in each NPM. The fitness of a given combination of NPMs for gas sensing is then determined by the conditioning of its inverse problem: the prediction of the gas composition provided by a fit (unfit) combination of NPMs is insensitive (sensitive) to inevitable errors in the measurements of the mass of gas adsorbed in the NPMs. For illustration, we use experimentally measured adsorption data to analyze the conditioning of the inverse problem associated with a [IRMOF-1, HKUST-1] CH4/CO2 sensor array.
A Multiuse Nanopore Platform with Disposable Paper Analytical Device for the Detection of Heavy Meatal Ions
Authors: Heaton Imogen , Platt Mark
Published: September 2020

The pollution of heavy metal ions within the environmental is a global problem. The rapid and precise removal of these contaminants can be aided by identifying and quantifying the composition of the sample. It is therefore crucial to develop effective portable analytical techniques to determine the levels of heavy metal contamination. Paper-based analytical devices (PADs) offer a low cost method making them an excellent platform for onsite environmental sensors. Here we demonstrate how a PAD can be integrated into a multi-use Nanopore platform. The PAD was functionalised with different recognition ligands, who’s surface charge densities varied in the presence of an analyte. The surface of the PAD was placed in contact with a Nanopore which exhibited Ion Current Rectification (ICR). The extent of ICR, was dependent upon the PAD’s surface charge, and the presence of the analyte of interest i.e. the ICR phenomena was exaggerated or diminished indicating the presence of the metal ion in solution. We demonstrate the potential of PAD-ICR using a PAD functionalised with a peptide aptamer specific for nickel ions. Allowing the detection of nickel(II) as low as 0.25 μM even in the presence of other metal ions. After any measurement, the Nanopore surface can be wiped clean, and reused.
Multiwavelength Control of Mixtures Using Visible Light Absorbing Photocages
Authors: Peterson Julie A , Yuan Ding , Winter Arthur
Published: September 2020

Selective deprotection of functional groups using different wavelengths of light is attractive for materials synthesis as well as for achieving independent photocontrol over substrates in biological systems. However, wavelength-selective activation is difficult to achieve with common UV-absorbing photoremovable protecting groups (PRPGs) because it is difficult to separate the chromophore absorption profiles. Moreover, deep UV irradiation of photocages can result in cellular phototoxicity. Here, we investigated the ability of recently-developed visible light absorbing BODIPY-derived PRPGs and a coumarin-derived PRPG to undergo wavelength selective activation in order to identify well-behaved pairs of PRPGs that allow independent optical control over a mixture of photocaged substrates using more biologically benign long-wavelength light. The three pairs of PRPGs tested have complete selectivities for cleaving the longerwavelength absorbing photocage first, and fair to excellent selectivities for releasing the lower-wavelength absorbing PRPG first when mixtures were irradiated in solution. When the PRPGs are attached to the same substrate, irradiating the shorter-wavelength absorbing PRPG results in energy transfer, but the PRPGs can be cleaved in a sequential manner starting by deprotecting the longest wavelength absorbing photocage first and then removing the lower-wavelength absorbing PRPG. A mixture of the three photocages could be sequentially reacted using common red, green, and far-UV (365 nm) LED irradiation.
Statistical Mechanical Model of Gas Adsorption in a Metal-Organic Framework Harboring a Rotaxane Molecular Shuttle
Authors: Carney Jonathan , Roundy David , Simon Cory M.
Published: September 2020

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are modular and tunable nano-porous materials with applications in gas storage, separations, and sensing. Flexible/dynamic components that respond to adsorbed gas can give MOFs unique or enhanced adsorption properties. Here, we explore the adsorption properties that could be imparted to a MOF by a rotaxane molecular shuttle (RMS) in its pores. In the unit cell of an RMS-MOF, a macrocyclic wheel is mechanically interlocked with a strut of the MOF scaffold. The wheel shuttles between stations on the strut that are also gas adsorption sites. At a level of abstraction similar to the seminal Langmuir adsorption model, we pose and analyze a simple statistical mechanical model of gas adsorption in an RMS-MOF that accounts for (i) wheel/gas competition for sites on the strut and (ii) gas-induced changes in the configurational entropy of the shuttling wheel. We determine how the amount of gas adsorbed, position of the wheel, and differential energy of adsorption depend on temperature, pressure, and the interactions of the gas/wheel with the stations. Our model reveals that, compared to a rigid, Langmuir material, the chemistry of the RMS-MOF can be tuned to render gas adsorption more or less temperature-sensitive and to release more or less heat upon adsorption. The model also uncovers a non-monotonic relationship between the temperature and the position of the wheel if gas out-competes the wheel for its preferable station.

In January 2020, we met with COVID-19 (aka SARS-Co-V-2 and/or Corona virus) on our news channels all the way from china. Little did we know that it would shake up our lives in such a manner that we had heard only in a movie or read in history books. Currently we are all in some sort of lockdown, be it in hospital/home or in our minds. Being there, most of us are facing certain kind of misery, be it emotional, mental, physical or social. To be expansive the most common stresses that have been addressed by people on mass media platform are feeling of depression and isolation caused by being away from family and friends, some are complaining of losing their enthusiasm, some of gaining weight, some of losing it and many more. Going through a pandemic is also helping people in some or the other way, one of which is being concerned about their health and habits to keep themselves fit and away from serious comorbidities which can stem out from physical inactivity and heightened stress levels. There are many ways to stay fit at home without any complex gym equipment, but far less is known about it. Thus, an understanding of methods through which one can become physically active with least complexity, easy availability, and appropriate utilization is need of the hour.

Published: September 2020

Internet of Thing is a new technology which enables small processing-capable devices to capture or retrieve information from a sensor and send the data to the central computer. This technology is useful for any sector especially agriculture, IoT can be used as monitoring or/and controlling the condition inside the cultivation. There are many kinds of agriculture cultivations, some of them have strict conditions due to the growth requirements. Oyster mushroom cultivation is one of many cultivations which requires strict temperature and humidity needed by oyster mushroom to growth optimal. The temperature inside the cultivation must be within 25°C until 30°C and humidity within 70% RH until 90% RH. Due to these strict requirements, the farmers required to check their cultivations every day and manually maintain the temperature and humidity, and this situation becomes a problem when the farmers own many cultivations. Hence, this research has a purpose to design an automatic monitoring system based on Internet of Things technology which utilizing the DHT22 sensor and Cayenne API as information retrieval medium to the computer. When using this device, the farmers can check their cultivation in the meantime without going inside the cultivation. This device will connect to the internet through wireless connectivity and send the captured information by the sensor to the farmers. The stored data from the cultivation can be exported as a CSV format if the farmers want to check the temperature and humidity statistic. The retrieved information from the sensor also displayed on the LCD attached to the device to ease the information reading near the cultivation.

The increasing of digital technology today has helped many people to fulfill their needs. But the election system, still conventionally using paper in its implementation. Elections in general still use a centralized system, where there is an organization that manages it. Some of the problems that may occur in traditional electoral systems are that there are organizations that have full control over the database and system, so the possibility of hacking the database is quite a big opportunity.
Blockchain innovation is one arrangement that can be utilized in light of the fact that it has a decentralized framework and the whole database is duplicated by all clients. Blockchain itself has been used by Bitcoin and Ethereum cryptocurrency which is known as a decentralized system. By using the blockchain in database recording on an e-voting system can reduce one source of fraud that is database manipulation. This study discusses the recording of voting data using blockchain technology. The implementation of Smart Contracts contained in the Ethereum Blockchain will be implemented to create this voting system

Demographic heterogeneity and the dynamics of open populations
Authors: Noonburg EG , Chen A , Shima Jeffrey , Swearer SE
Published: September 2020

© 2015 by the Ecological Society of America. Individuals vary in their phenotype and propensity for growth and survival, but the demographic consequences of this remain poorly understood. We extend previous theoretical work on benthic marine populations and formulate a new model to evaluate how demographic heterogeneity among newly settled reef fish affects population stability. We simulated settlement, growth, and mortality of a small reef fish, the common triplefin (Forsterygion lapillum) in an open "subpopulation" using a delay-differential equation model framework. We modeled demographic heterogeneity with a discrete number of "quality" types, motivated by our previous empirical observations: individuals were either "high quality" (immigrants from nearby subpopulations) or "low quality" (immigrants from distant subpopulations); in our model, quality influences how quickly individuals develop at a given competitor density. Our results demonstrate how demographic heterogeneity and juvenile competition interact to qualitatively alter the effects of settlement on population stability. Specifically, our model suggests that a mixture of quality types can stabilize the equilibrium even when equal settlement of either type alone would result in an unstable equilibrium. These results highlight the importance of among-individual variation in a metapopulation context, and suggest that in systems where dispersal influences individual quality, connectivity may serve to stabilize local populations.
Life history and matrix heterogeneity interact to shape metapopulation connectivity in spatially structured environments
Authors: Shima Jeffrey , Noonburg E , Phillips Nicole
Published: September 2020

Metapopulation models have historically treated a landscape as a collection of habitat patches separated by a matrix of uniformly unsuitable habitat. This perspective is still apparent in many studies of marine metapopulations, in which recruitment variation is generally assumed to be primarily the result of variability in ocean currents and interactions with disperser behavior, with little consideration of spatial structure that can affect disperser viability. We use a simple model of dispersal of marine larvae to demonstrate how heterogeneity in dispersal habitat (i.e., the matrix) can generate substantial spatial variation in recruitment. Furthermore, we show how this heterogeneity can interact with larval life-history variation to create alternative patterns of source-sink dynamics. Finally, we place our results in the context of spatially structured matrix population models, and we propose the damping ratio of the connectivity matrix as a general and novel measure of landscape connectivity that may provide conceptual unification to the fields of metapopulation biology and landscape ecology. © 2010 by the Ecological Society of America.
Density- and trait-mediated effects of fish predators on amphipod grazers: potential indirect benefits for the giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera
Authors: Perez-Matus A , Shima Jeffrey
Published: September 2020

Indirect effects of predators on primary producers may arise when predators suppress herbivore abundance and/or alter the behaviour patterns of herbivores in ways that reduce grazing pressure. Most studies highlight the role of predators in reducing herbivore abundance (i.e. density- mediated interactions), while behavioural effects (i.e. trait-mediated interactions) induced by predators are less commonly considered and are often assumed to be of secondary importance. We used a mesocosm experiment to evaluate the consumptive and behavioural effects of 2 species of predatory fishes on amphipod grazers that feed and nest on the giant kelp Macrocystispyrifera. Only one, Noto- labrus celidotus, of the 2 predator species reduced grazer abundance. Although the second predator species, N. fucicola, did not affect grazer abundance directly, it significantly reduced the grazing efficiency of amphipods on blades of M. pyrifera. Our study illustrates how density- and trait-mediated interactions reduce grazer efficiency and provide potential indirect benefits to primary producers. To our knowledge, this is the first experimental evidence of a potential trophic cascade in kelp beds generated by consumptive and nonconsumptive effects. When considered alongside results of other studies that highlight positive effects of macroalgae on reef fish demographic rates, our results provide compelling evidence that mutualistic relationships may exist between kelp and associated predatory fishes. © Inter-Research 2010.
Cryptic density dependence: effects of spatio-temporal covariation between density and site quality in reef fish
Authors: Shima Jeffrey , Osenberg C
Published: September 2020

The importance and strength of density dependence continues to engender debate because of its central importance to population dynamics and regulation. Here, we show how confounding effects of site quality can mask strong effects of density dependence. In particular, we explore spatiotemporal variation and covariation among (1) densities of newly settled coral reef fish (Thalassoma hardwicke), (2) environmental characteristics, and (3) the strength of density-dependent mortality. Environmental features of patch reefs were spatially and temporally variable and influenced density-dependent survival. Higher-quality sites (i.e., reefs possessing features that yield greater numbers of recruits at any given settlement level) received greater settlement, and this relationship masked the operation of density dependence when variation in quality among sites (or times) was not distinguished (a common approach in many Observational studies of density dependence). Our work illustrates how spatiotemporal covariation in settlement density and site quality can obscure patterns of density dependence at larger scales, contributing to a phenomenon we call "cryptic density dependence." Acknowledging patterns and consequences of covariance may alter the way we study population dynamics, especially of marine organisms, where the link between processes that affect settlement and post-settlement survival remains relatively poorly understood.
Czy Bruno Schulz był pisarzem?
Authors: Millati Piotr
Published: September 2020

The essay is an analysis of the most important, yet actually quite sporadic artistic adventure of Schulz, which was fiction writing. The question discussed is apparently paradoxical: was Bruno Schulz a writer? The author argues that there is a difference between a writer and a man of letters, i.e. someone who is a professional in the literary field. Schulz never became the latter and this is what makes his biography significantly different from those of the typical literati among whom he had many friends. In comparison to them, Schulz wrote very little, started writing quite late, and the period when he really was a writer lasted only several years. One might say that writing fiction indeed rather happened to him – it was not a permanent disposition of his artistic existence. That had crucial consequences for the form of his writing.
O ilustracjach Brunona Schulza do noweli „Z dworu ślepej bogini”
Authors: Cypuk Wira , Pomorski Adam
Published: September 2020

The cause of this investigation were two unknown drawings by Bruno Schulz (ink, two 4x7 cm, two 6x7 cm, each with the artist’s signature) found in the newspaper Chwila, a Polish language Zionist daily published in Lviv in 1919-1939. Chwila paid much attention to Schulz: 43 articles, reviews, and notes on his life and work were published throughout the paper’s history. Few texts published in the Chwila were illustrated, and book illustrations were also rare in the artistic career of the writer: next to illustrating his own books, he designed covers and illustrations only for Juliusz Witt and Witold Gombrowicz. Searching for information about the author of an illustrated story “Z dworu ślepej bogini,” Oskar Alexandrowicz (1885-1939?), a resident of Drogobych, painter, art critic, and lawyer, added to the knowledge about the circle of Schulz’s friends. For instance, an interesting character was Oskar’s brother, Roman Alexandrowicz (1882-1940), a well-known lawyer and collector of Schulz’s works which he used to show to the public in his apartment on the corner of Akademicki Square and Fredry Street in Lviv. The literary critic Ostap Ortwin (1876-1942), who was a regular patron of a famous café in the same building, most likely supported Schulz’s participation in the Spring Salon of 1922. Just opposite, on 7 Fredry Street, there was a studio of Kazimierz Sichulski, painter and professor of the Lviv State Industrial School, and Wanda Diamand’s photo studio “Światłocień.” The author also succeeded in establishing the identity and biographical data of another Alexandrowicz, Marek (1890-?), manager of one of the biggest oil companies in Europe, “Gazy Ziemne,” who was a close friend of Izydor Schulz.
Głos Schulza
Authors: Skrzypczyk Aleksandra
Published: September 2020

The aim of the article is to answer the question of what Bruno Schulz’s voice might have sounded like. Only a few witnesses mention it, and their reports are sometimes contradictory. In the prewar Polish press many radio programs are listed, some of which mention that the Polish Radio broadcast Schulz’s reading of his short story “Dodo.” Thus, it is believed that the author of The Cinnamon Shops was actually on air, and perhaps more literary programs devoted to Schulz have been broadcast as well. It still seems possible to find the archival materials on which Schulz’s voice might have survived.
Schulzowska „teoria obrazu” w interpretacji Anny Juraschek
Authors: Lukas Katarzyna
Published: September 2020

The article is a review of and a discussion with the recent monograph by Anna Juraschek, Die Rettung des Bildes im Wort. Bruno Schulz’ Bild-Idee in seinem prosaischen und bildnerischen Werk, Göttingen 2016. Juraschek has put forward the following thesis: alongside his own specific philosophy of language expressed in his narrative works and essays, Bruno Schulz also suggests a particular philosophy of image/picture, which he develops in his visual art. This “program” is not specified and may be reconstructed only by interpreting his graphic works; it is, however, corroborated by the poetics of Schulz’ stories. Juraschek regards the “word” and the “image” in Schulz as artistic entities, and emphasizes the visual nature of his fiction and the narrative qualities of his graphic works. She points at Schulz’s crossing of the boundaries between different arts and claims that the writer criticizes the very notion of mimesis (a statement that, according to the reviewer, may be questioned). Juraschek tries to reconstruct the main sources inspiring Schulz’s idea of image/picture: the classic European painting, German literature (i.e. Leopold von Sacher-Masoch and Joseph von Eichendorff), as well as German philosophers and cultural critics such as Walter Benjamin. According to the reviewer, there are three points that Juraschek’s study can contribute to Schulz studies. First, the German scholar succeeds in systematizing different kinds of verbo-visual relations and interactions in Schulz’s oeuvre. Second, she fully appreciates his graphic work which thus far seems to have been undervalued, especially by Polish scholars. Last but not least, Juraschek brings to the fore some striking affinities between the ideas of Schulz and those of Walter Benjamin. As a possible background of interpreting Schulz, the philosophical writings of Benjamin are a context which certainly deserves more investigation.
Climate and crops in northwest Portugal (1798-1830): A glimpse into the past by the light of two Benedictine diaries
Authors: Silva Luis Pedro
Published: September 2020

This paper aims to assess the impact of hydrometeorological phenomena on agricultural production in northwest Portugal, from the end of the eighteenth century through the first three decades of the nineteenth century. The study analyses and discusses two recently discovered weather diaries from the agricultural region of Entre-Douro-e-Minho, in northwest Portugal (along the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula, southwest Europe). These written records were kept by Benedictine monastic communities, which used to own large farms in this region. As sources, they provide systematic data concerning weather conditions from 1798 to 1830, along with indications of the impacts on agricultural production in the region. For data analysis, we developed indices for precipitation, temperature, and agricultural production, converting qualitative data into categories of intensity. The results point to important thermal and rainfall anomalies that significantly impacted crops (in terms of yield and harvesting times) and food prices.

The ways of increasing efficiency of the harvesting and transport system for grain crops harvesting through the use of reserve platforms for unloading line-haul trains and dump trailers at a grain pre-treatment point are determined. The study was carried out in agricultural enterprises of the forest-steppe zone of Novosibirsk region during three harvesting periods 2017–2019. Specific features of work of the harvesting and transport system were taken into account, such as the remoteness of fields, the turn-around time of vehicles, the number of harvesting machines in the unit, and the crop harvested. The analysis of the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the interaction of vehicles and a grain pre-treatment point as subsystems of the harvesting and transport system shows that the operations of weighing, paperwork and unloading of vehicles are conditioned by the unproductive waste of working shift time, which leads to downtime of expensive highperformance harvesting machines. The dependence analysis of downtime ratio of vehicles at unloading on the throughput of the grain pre-treatment point shows that idle time of vehicles can reach up to 38% of the working shift time, according to estimated data, and up to 45%, according to experimental data. It is established that in the operation of a grain pretreatment point as a subsystem of a complex harvesting and transport system, there are time reserves for a positive effect on the system performance by searching for alternative options to service vehicles. Experimental studies of grain harvesting have shown that with a grain flow exceeding productivity of a grain pre-treatment point, it is necessary to organize reserve platforms at threshing sites to reduce the time for unloading vehicles. The use of reserve platforms can reduce the downtime of high-performance harvesting machines by 5-9%.

This paper presents a techno-economic assessment for a unique Isolated Hybrid Power System (IHPS) design which could be used for remote areas isolated from the grid which also has the capability of being operated as a smart the hybrid energy system considering solar and wind energy sources for the purpose of street lighting. Solar-Wind Street light is an intelligent, small scale, and off grid LED lighting system. The modelling design and simulations were based on Simulations conducted using the Data collected and HOMER Energy Planning and Design software tools. Its components are solar panel, wind generator system (PVC blowers), Dynamo, LDRs, battery, LED light, charge controller. The energy stored in battery during day time due to solar panel, get extracted by LEDs during the night time (because LDRs get activated due to absence of sun light). Wind also charges the batteries due to wind which is used for glowing street light. The advantage of this idea is to avoid daily running cost and make the system purely off-grid. In this prototype, we have used 12V DC system to supply energy to the lights.

Data transfers are handled by the computer bus which connects the device to the memory. The data bus is analogous to the transmission in a car which is often overshadowed by the horsepower of the engine. The three technologies PCI, PCI-Express and InfiniBand Technology all share the same general goal of improving I\O bandwidth, but each technology attacks a different problem. In this survey we'll show how these technologies interact and complement each other. First, we provide the definitions for each one of them, and then we provide a brief description for their architectures. Beside that we'll conclude an over view of some differences between the technologies.

Motivation: in this paper, a better understanding of the different I/O bandwidth technologies are explored, the vital features and characteristics of each technology was presented.

Method: providing clear description for the different technologies and estimating the improvements implemented in their hardware during the generations’ improvements.

Conclusion: none of the technologies could replace the PCI bus, but rather implement upgrade paths to get critical needed features such as compatibility and capability.

Several studies suggested that most of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) only noted the amount of money received and expended, the amount of bought and sold goods, and the amount of accounts receivable/debt. However, the note is functioned as reminder but not supported with the format desired by the banks. Even though, they are still able to know the amount of final capital each year which is almost the same as if we took a note by using accounting system. Therefore, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are directed through assistance to start taking notes of its business activities in accordance with the Accounting Standards Entities of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (SAK EMKM) simply and completely as needed.

Basically, the partner's problem in this assistance was due to the accounting administration of financial management at PT. JAB which is not properly arranged such as the determination of HPP. This SME produces coffee powder, chocolate and green tea beverages. It reaches income of Rp. 50.000.000,- per month with the total 3-5 employees and has carried out bookkeeping which is currently experiencing loss. It has already made an excel financial report but in determining HPP, the process costs are not taken into account so that this has no basis.

The result of this assistance is the establishment of financial statement which is correct and appropriate in accordance with SAK EMKM. This study is finally able to solve the problem in determining the amount of HPP due to the lack of synchronization between the production data and accounting department. In addition, this study successfully minimizes errors in determining the amount of inventory which affects the error in determining HPP. The problem faced by every SME must be different so that we are expected to provide assistance in making financial reports.
