Proposal for the Identification of Information Technology Services in Public Organizations
Authors: Mera Macías Cristian , Aguilar Alonso Igor
Published: October 2019

Handling complexity and symmetry in the identification of services for the management of information technology (IT) emerged as a serious challenge in recent times. One of the most important elements that must be defined in the management of information technology services is the construction and management of a service catalog. However, in order to create this catalog, it is necessary to correctly identify the services to be formed. So far, there are several proposals that serve to identify information technology services in public organizations. However, there are several inherent drawbacks to these processes, whereby many organizations are yet to adapt to the services. The main objective of this research is to present a proposal for the identification of information technology services and the construction of an information technology catalog. For this, the following methodology was applied: (a) a review of the literature, identifying the research that addressed the process of the identification of services; (b) a proposal based on automatic learning to identify information technology services in public organizations, adapting the catalog of services and taking as its main input the history of requests and incidents accredited by the department of information technologies in public organizations in the Republic of Ecuador. In conclusion, this work leads to satisfactory results for the identification of technology services used to construct its catalog.

Published: October 2019

Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is one of the most important technologies in Non-Detective Testing (NDT) methods. Recently, Barker code and Golay code pairs as coded excitation signals have been applied in ultrasound imaging system with improved quality. However, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of existing UT system based on Barker code or Golay code can be influenced under high high attenuation materials or noisy conditions. In this paper, we apply the convolution of Barker and Golay codes as coded excitation signals for low voltage UT devices that combines the advantages of Barker code and Golay code together. There is no need to change the hardware of UT system in this method. The proposed method has been analyzed theoretically and then in extensive simulations. The experimental results demonstrated that the main lobe level of the code produced by convolution of Barker code and Golay code pairs is much higher than the simple pulse and the main lobe of the combined code is higher than the traditional Barker code, sidelobe is the same as the baker code that constitutes this combined code. So the peak sidelobe level (PSL) of the combined code is lower than the traditional Barker code. Equipped with this, UT devices can be applied in low voltage situations.

We know little about the potential health risks from exposure to diisoheptyl phthalate (DiHpP), a plasticizer used in commercial applications. The production of DiHpP ended in the United States in 2010, but DiHpP may still be present in phthalate diester mixtures. To investigate human exposure to DiHpP, we used three oxidative metabolites of DiHpP: Monohydroxyheptyl phthalate (MHHpP), mono-oxoheptylphthalate (MOHpP), and monocarboxyhexyl phthalate (MCHxP) as exposure biomarkers. We analyzed urine collected anonymously in 2000 (N = 144) and 2018–2019 (N = 205) from convenience groups of U.S. adults using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with isotope-dilution high-resolution mass spectrometry. We detected MCHxP in all the samples tested in 2000 (GM = 2.01 ng/mL) and 2018–2019 (GM = 1.31 ng/mL). MHHpP was also detected in 100% of the 2018–2019 samples (GM = 0.59 ng/mL) and 96% of the 2000 urine samples analyzed (GM = 0.38 ng/mL). MOHpP was detected in 57% (2018–2019, GM = 0.03 ng/mL) and 92% (2000, GM = 0.19 ng/mL) of samples. The presence of MHHpP, MOHpP, and MCHxP in the 2018–2019 samples suggests recent exposure to DiHpP. Intercorrelations between metabolite concentrations were more significant in samples collected in 2000 than in samples collected in 2018–2019. The differences in urinary metabolite profiles and intercorrelations from samples collected during 2000 and 2018–2019 likely reflects changes in the composition of commercial DiHpP formulations before and after 2010.

Published: October 2019

Sample clean-up remains the most time-consuming and error-prone step in the whole analytical procedure for aflatoxins (AFTs) analysis. Herein, an automated and high-throughput sample clean-up platform was developed with a disposable, cost-effective immunoaffinity magnetic bead-based kit. Under optimized conditions, the automated method takes less than 30 min to simultaneously purify 20 samples without requiring any centrifugation or filtering steps. When coupled to ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, this new analysis method displays excellent accuracy and precision as well as outstanding efficiency. Furthermore, an interlaboratory study was performed in six laboratories to validate the novel protocol. Mean recovery, repeatability, reproducibility, and Horwitz ratio values were within 91.9%–107.4%, 2.5%–7.4%, 2.7%–10.6%, and 0.26%–0.90, respectively. Results demonstrate that the developed sample clean-up platform is a reliable alternative to most widely adopted clean-up procedures for AFTs in cereals and oils.

During lytic herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection, the expansion of the viral replication compartments leads to an enrichment of the host chromatin in the peripheral nucleoplasm. We have shown previously that HSV-1 infection induces the formation of channels through the compacted peripheral chromatin. Here, we used three-dimensional confocal and expansion microscopy, soft X-ray tomography, electron microscopy, and random walk simulations to analyze the kinetics of host chromatin redistribution and capsid localization relative to their egress site at the nuclear envelope. Our data demonstrated a gradual increase in chromatin marginalization, and the kinetics of chromatin smoothening around the viral replication compartments correlated with their expansion. We also observed a gradual transfer of capsids to the nuclear envelope. Later in the infection, random walk modeling indicated a gradually faster transport of capsids to the nuclear envelope that correlated with an increase in the interchromatin channels in the nuclear periphery. Our study reveals a stepwise and time-dependent mechanism of herpesvirus nuclear egress, in which progeny viral capsids approach the egress sites at the nuclear envelope via interchromatin spaces.

Water resources in sub-Saharan Africa are more overstressed than in many other regions of the world. Experiments on commercial farms have shown that conservation agriculture (CA) can save water and improve the soil. Nevertheless, its benefits on smallholder irrigated farms have not been adequately investigated, particularly in dry monsoon phase in the Ethiopian highlands. We investigated the effect of conservation agriculture (grass mulch cover and no-tillage) on water-saving on smallholder farms in the Ethiopian highlands. Irrigated onion and garlic were grown on local farms. Two main factors were considered: the first factor was conservation agriculture versus conventional tillage, and the second factor was irrigation scheduling using reference evapotranspiration (ETo) versus irrigation scheduling managed by farmers. Results showed that for both onion and garlic, the yield and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) was over 40% greater for CA than conventional tillage (CT). The soil moisture after irrigation was higher in CA compared with CT treatment while CA used 49 mm less irrigation water. In addition, we found that ETo-based irrigation was superior to the farmers’ irrigation practices for both crops. IWUE was lower in farmers irrigation practices due to lower onion and garlic yield responses to overirrigation and greater water application variability.
Porous Concrete for Pedestrian Pavements
Authors: Moretti Laura , Di Mascio Paola , Fusco Ciro
Published: October 2019

Changes in weather patterns directly impact urban transport infrastructures. The increase in temperature and the ongoing precipitation changes should be handled and managed more frequently. In urban areas, most of the soil is impermeable and water hardly infiltrates into the subsoil. Permeable pavement is a technology that helps mitigate the effects of urban heat islands and surface impermeabilization. Porous concrete for pedestrian pavements ensures good structural, functional, and environmental performances. A pervious concrete mix differs from a conventional one in terms of the gradation of aggregates, namely, a lack of fine aggregates. The material porosity (on average 20%) causes compressive and flexural strengths lower than those of traditional concrete. The material is suitable for low-load pavements where the passage of motorized vehicles is forbidden or occasional. The pavement can be laid either monolithically or modularly, using two operating systems: returning water to underground aquifers and reducing runoff. The latter is the most frequently adopted in urban areas, where pedestrian and interdicted to motorized vehicle areas form a continuous and distributed network. In a common urban quarter, where 80% of the surface is impermeable, porous concrete pavements could cover up to 6% of the surface and provide architectural and aesthetic value for the environment.

Published: October 2019

Based on the 1965–2017 climate data of 18 meteorological stations in the Songliao Plain maize belt, the Coupled Model Intercomparision Project (CMIP5) data, and the 1998–2017 maize yield data, the drought change characteristics in the study area were analyzed by using the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) and the Mann–Kendall mutation test; furthermore, the relationship between meteorological factors, drought index, and maize climate yield was determined. Finally, the maize climate yields under 1.5 °C and 2.0 °C global warming scenarios were predicted. The results revealed that: (1) from 1965 to 2017, the study area experienced increasing temperature, decreasing precipitation, and intensifying drought trends; (2) the yield of the study area showed a downward trend from 1998 to 2017. Furthermore, the climate yield was negatively correlated with temperature, positively correlated with precipitation, and positively correlated with SPEI-1 and SPEI-3; and (3) under the 1.5 °C and the 2.0 °C global warming scenarios, the temperature and the precipitation increased in the maize growing season. Furthermore, under the studied global warming scenarios, the yield changes predicted by multiple regression were −7.7% and −15.9%, respectively, and the yield changes predicted by one-variable regression were −12.2% and −21.8%, respectively.

Published: October 2019

Sudden increases in temperature and turbidity in aquatic ecosystems are expected for different regions in the future, as a result of the more frequent extreme climatic events that are predicted. The consequences of these abrupt changes in the outcomes of predator–prey interactions are unknown. Here, we tested the effects of a heat wave and a turbidity pulse on the foraging success of a subtropical cichlid fish (Gymnogeophagus terrapurpura) on amphipods (Hyalella curvispina). We carried out a short-term experiment combining treatments of turbidity (3 and 100 nephelometric turbidity units [NTU]) and water temperature (19.2, 22.2, 25.2 and 27.0 °C), considering potential differences given by fish length. Changes in water temperature did not promote significant changes in prey consumption. Higher turbidity, in contrast, decreased prey consumption. Also, we found that fish with different body lengths consumed a similar amount of prey under clear waters, but, in turbid waters, bigger individuals were more efficient than the smaller individuals. This finding is an empirical demonstration that the effect of increased turbidity on predation rate depends upon predator body size, and it suggests that bigger body sizes may help overcome turbidity-associated limitations in finding and capturing prey. Our short-term results suggest that, if turbidity pulses and heat waves become more frequent in the future, the outcome of fish–invertebrate interaction can be affected by local characteristics such as fish population size distribution.

This study develops electrospun nylon 6,6 nanofiber membrane (NFM), incorporating zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) as the additive for produced water (PW) filtration. Electrospun NFM is suitable to be used as a filter, especially for water treatment, since it has a huge surface area to volume ratio, high porosity, and great permeability compared to the conventional membranes. These properties also enhance its competitiveness to be used as reverse osmosis pre-treatment, as the final stage of PW treatment water reuse purpose. However, the fouling issue and low mechanical strength of NFM reduces hydraulic performance over time. Therefore, this study employs ZIF-8 as an additive to improve nylon 6,6 NFM properties to reduce fouling and increase membrane tensile strength. Results show that the optimum loading of ZIF-8 was at 0.2%. This loading gives the highest oil rejection (89%), highest steady-state pure water permeability (1967 L/(m2·h·bar)), 2× higher than untreated nylon 6,6 NFM with tensile strength 5× greater (3743 MPa), and a steady-state permeability of 1667 L/(m2·h·bar) for filtration of real produced water.

Special Investment Support Under the Agricultural Reorganisation Programme 1995-2000
Authors: Juhász Lajos
Published: October 2019

Since the political changes in Hungary, agricultural businesses have worked in a declining economic environment and hectic market situation, with a widening price gap between agricultural and industrial products and low profitability. A declining export comes then by no surprise. The sector has not been able to even benefit from export opportunities provided in the European Agreement. The area least benefiting from quotas is animal products (beef, mutton, lamb, slaughtered chicken, cheese, egg). The ministry of agriculture was lagging behind in responding to these problems, and it was as late as in 1995 when it launched a reorganisation programme for export stocks fund build-up (5).The author has conducted empirical studies on agricultural enterprises in Csongrád county to see what results the special investment support delivered under the reorganisation programme produced. The fundamental aim of the reorganisation programme for export stocks fund build-up was to boost exportable Hungarian animal product stocks in a bid for businesses to better benefit from the preferential quotas set by the European Agreement. The author examined how the special investment support scheme succeeded in its aims, whether livestock grew considerably in its wake, whether farmers were able to attain exportable quality and what development funds enterprises were able to raise.

The sky movement and Tamil thinking in Pattupattu
Authors: A Muthulakshmi
Published: October 2019

We could see the rise and set of the planets starting with the Sun. Tamil had many thoughts and opinions on the rise and set of those planets. They had calculated not only Sun’s orbit but also various other stars, planets and their orbital relations as well. Through Sangam literature, one could know that there were experts in calculating the celestial bodies. Subbu Reddiyar explains the poem from  ‘puRanaanuuRu’  that there were people who had mastered for years and could tell the everyday measures of ‘the law of the sun and its movement, the orbit surrounding by its movement, the direction of the wind and the sky without an axile’ (puRam 30). Thus, it could be understood that the ancient Tamils were capable of measuring not only the sky but also the movements of Sun and the celestial bodies. That is how he poem mention details about the moon, stars and the movement of the Sun.

The looking ahead project: A lesson in community engagement and positive change
Authors: Pedersen Paul E.
Published: October 2019

In response to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls movement across the country, the Greater Sudbury Police Service initiated a community engagement approach to build a project with the goal of reducing violence against Indigenous women and girls. Recognizing a need for dedicated staff to lead this project, the Greater Sudbury Police Service and the N’Swakamok Native Friendship Centre partnered and made application to receive Federal Government Justice Canada Funds to hire a violence prevention coordinator. This individual, through a Memorandum of Understanding, would be employed by both the Friendship Centre and the police. The violence prevention coordinator teamed up with the police aboriginal liaison officer to bring the project to life. Resisting any sort of “top down” approach, Indigenous women, girls and agencies formed part of a working committee that was asked to answer a question about what can be done to work proactively and reactively to help reduce the possibility of violence at a local level. The project, which was focused on building spirit, on culture and ceremony, on listening to what people with lived experience felt would be helpful, was created and titled the Looking Ahead to Build the Spirit of Our Women Learning to Live Free From Violence Project. The suite of achievements, accomplishments and activities is comprehensive and growing every day and includes a strategy document and the release of a missing persons toolkit. An outcome from this project is this example of how community engagement strategies, when properly applied, can yield success which would be impossible through any single agency approach.

Translation, as a practice, has existed ever since the birth of civilization even though, its inclusion in the domain of scientific research did not take placeuntil the second half of 20th century. The ability of translation to transcend the linguistic barriers has always been used to its advantage to promote traditions, practices and even ideologies. However, it is widely accepted that translation is incapable of the complete transference of meaning when the source culture and target culture are significantly divergent. The aim of the paper, therefore, is to analyze this loss of meaning through the comparative reading of K R Meera’s Aarachar and its translation Hangwoman by J Devika. The source text was chosen for its significant contributions to the modern Malayalam literary tradition and the strong presence of cultural elements. Through this article, the researcher intends to trace the difficulties translator had to face during the process of translation and the extent to which the translator has succeeded in achieving an equivalence of meaning bound in a cultural setting. The concept of equivalence in translation defined by Nida andNewmark’s and Vermeer’s understanding of culture in translation is employed for this comparative reading.

Comfort’ is one of the most sought for factors to keep one’s life stress-free. This holds good for workplace comfort too, as both the genders are equally employed now a days. Especially in a busy sector like banking, where long hours of sitting and compulsion to stay alert, the need for comfort level relatively takes a higher order of importance. This study is attempted to analyse the level of comfort the private bank employees experience at workplace, which ultimately impacts their job satisfaction beyond monetary benefits. The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship of comfort level at workplace towards employee job satisfaction, the factors that impact employee comfort at workplace and to suggest measures to effect a stress-free comfortable workplace for private bank employees. A sample size of 70 has been employed using simple random sampling method and the results thus sought are analysed and interpreted statistically. The results thus derive that there is a significant relationship between gender and job rotation practices; Age and work timing; Age and Promotion practices; Designation and work timing; designation and training and development practices. It is also derived that educational qualification, number of dependents and gender have significant difference with respect to salary; that age, number of dependents and designation have significant difference with respect to Training and development practices in private banking sector.

Наведено порівняння різ-них методів вібродіагностики, що можуть бути використані при діагностуванні технічного стану генераторів вітроуста-новок. Розглянуто використання лінійних випадкових процесів для побудови систем діагностики генераторів вітроустано-вок. Представлено метод знаходження характеристичної функції породжуючого процесу для лінійного процесу авторегре-сії другого порядку AR(2), що має Гамма-розподіл. Властивості Пуасонівських спектрів стрибків використовуються для рішення такої проблеми. Вирішення такої задачі, базується на властивості характеристичної функції стаціонарного лі-нійного випадкового процесу авторегресії AR(2), , , де параметри авторегресії; множина цілих чисел; випадковий процес з дискретним часом та незалежними значеннями, що має безмежно подільний закон розподілу, який часто називають породжуючим процесом. Іноді таку задачу називають оберненою задачею. В статті відзначається що одновимірний логарифм характеристичної функції лінійного стаціонар-ного процесу авторегресії можна задати одновимірною характеристичною функцією в канонічному представленні Колмо-горова, де параметр та спектральна функція стрибків однозначно визначають характеристичну функцію. Логарифм характеристичної функції лінійного стаціонарного процесу авторегресії може бути також записана в такій формі: , де параметри та визначають харак-теристичну функцію породжуючого процесу а є ядром лінійного випадкового процесу . Параметри та , та пуасонівського спектру стрибків взаємопов҆язані наступним чином . є ядром перетворення яке є інваріантним до породжуючого і визначається за допомогою коефіцієнтів .

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ КЕРУВАННЯ РИЗИКАМИ НА РАННІХ ЕТАПАХ РОЗВИТКУ ІННОВАЦІЙНИХ ПРОЕКТІВ ДЛЯ ПІДВИЩЕННЯ ЕНЕРГЕТИЧНОЇ ЕФЕКТИВНОСТІ ТЕХНІЧНИХ ПРИСТРОЇВ ПЕРЕТВОРЕННЯ ЕНЕРГІЇ ВІДНОВЛЮВАНИХ ДЖЕРЕЛ

Розглянуто особливості керування ризиками інноваційних та стартап проектів для підвищення енергетичної ефективності технічних пристроїв перетворення енергії відновлюваних джерел, які можуть виникнути при створенні новітніх енергетичних систем. Інноваційна діяльність супроводжується природно притаманними їй ризиками та загрозами, реалізація яких має стохастичну природу. При цьому результативність інноваційної діяльності залежить від того, наскільки точно проведена оцінка та експертиза ризику, та наскільки адекватно визначені методи управління ризиками. Майже вся діяльність організації пов’язана з ризиками, якими треба постійно керувати. Процес управління ризиками допомагає приймати рішення з урахуванням невизначеності та вірогідності реалізації загроз та їхнього впливу на досягнення узгоджених цілей. Під час аналізування, використовуються методи, які можуть бути якісними, напівкількісними чи кількісними. Аналізування наслідків дає змогу визначати характер і тип впливу, який може виникати, за припущення, що відбуваються конкретні події чи обставини. Подія може чинити низку впливів різної величини та позначатися на низці різних цілей і різних зацікавлених сторін. Для підвищення якості управління ризиком інноваційних проектів слід застосовувати комплексну систему управління ризиком (КСУР). Ця система орієнтована на відхід від очікування негативного явища, з подальшою реакцією на нього, особливість КСУР – виявлення ризиків та загроз в будь-якій сфері, які досі не проявились, але можуть бути причиною негативних наслідків в майбутньому. Використання КСУР на кожному етапі розвитку дає можливість підвищити вірогідність вдалої реалізації проектів, знизити ризик провалу, підвищити захищеність інвестицій. А також дає можливість досягати стратегічних цілей компаній в умовах невизначеності. Бібл. 10, рис. 7.
