Traffic is a huge trouble which takes place after an accident. Vehicles in the accident area get congested, moreover without knowing about the accident, vehicles coming from the other roads make the situation difficult for the ambulance to travel and reach the nearest hospital on time. So keeping those problems in mind, an approach that will be able to avoid series of collision and also can control traffic jam using vehicle to vehicle communication.
Prediction of Crime Scene Objects Using Deep Learning
Authors: Rao Vibhavari B
Published: August 2021

The crime rates today can inevitably put a civilian's life in danger. While consistent efforts are being made to alleviate crime, there is also a dire need to create a smart and proactive surveillance system. Our project implements a smart surveillance system that would alert the authorities in real-time when a crime is being committed. During armed robberies and hostage situations, most often, the police cannot reach the place on time to prevent it from happening, owing to the lag in communication between the informants of the crime scene and the police. We propose an object detection model that implements deep learning algorithms to detect objects of violence such as pistols, knives, rifles from video surveillance footage, and in turn send real-time alerts to the authorities. There are a number of object detection algorithms being developed, each being evaluated under the performance metric mAP. On implementing Faster R-CNN with ResNet 101 architecture we found the mAP score to be about 91%. However, the downside to this is the excessive training and inferencing time it incurs. On the other hand, YOLOv5 architecture resulted in a model that performed very well in terms of speed. Its training speed was found to be 0.012 s / image during training but naturally, the accuracy was not as high as Faster R-CNN. With good computer architecture, it can run at about 40 fps. Thus, there is a tradeoff between speed and accuracy and it's important to strike a balance. We use transfer learning to improve accuracy by training the model on our custom dataset. This project can be deployed on any generic CCTV camera by setting up a live RTSP (real-time streaming protocol) and streaming the footage on a laptop or desktop where the deep learning model is being run.
Integrated Town Development Plan: Kurduwadi
Authors: Ransubhe Srikant A.
Published: August 2021

The nature and economic development of Indian urbanization is characterized by metropolitan domination and polarization. The country's total population increased from 361 million in 1951 to 1,027 million in 2001, while the urban population increased from 62 million to 285 million during the same period. From 23 megacities in 1991 to 35 in 2001, the number has increased considerably. Therefore, it is clear that there is a clear movement towards large cities, possibly as a result of a lack of employment opportunities in small and medium cities and a deficient urban infrastructure. In 1979, the centrally supported scheme for the integrated development of small and medium cities (IDSMT) began and continued through 2004-05 and was incorporated into the UIDSSMT scheme in December 2005. It is important to invest in the development of small urban centers in order to reduce migration to large cities as well as to support the growth of surrounding rural areas. Small and medium towns are generally viewed as a means of balancing urban hierarchy and reducing pressure on primate cities, moderate spatial inequality, and foster factors that may assist in reversing the trend. Kurduwadi city is one of them, such as improper or uncertain use of available land, rising unemployment and migration to cities, unsatisfactory development plans to improve urban development. In this context, through integrated planning, efforts have been measured to obtain the resources needed to achieve each goal and improve strategy. Also by allowing institutions to plan and collaborate in departments, they can create efficiency and pursue new opportunities and help reduce migration to nearby large and metropolitan cities by strengthening the Kurduwadi towns as regional growth centers. Establishing complementary links between nearby villages, towns and cities will create a harmonious settlement pattern. An integrated development plan for the Kurduwadi town reduces some of the ideological concerns and working uncertainties emerging around this initiative through this study. The assessment of integrated town development may be appropriate to determine the future orientation and guidelines for Kurduwadi town.

Published: August 2021

Abstract: In this field of comparative research study, comparison of two car model, a standard car and an optimized car with respect to aerodynamic analysis/aeroacoustics analysis with the help of CFD software Ansys 2019 R2 version is taken in consideration to compare the results and get to know if the optimized car model has reduction in the generation of aerodynamic noise when it travels at four different speeds (30 m/s, 40 m/s, 50m/s and 60m/s). For carried out aeroacoustics/aerodynamic noise analysis two main model are used turbulence model and an acoustics model. For turbulence model and K-epsilon model is used as it is widely used for getting turbulence generation and for acoustics model a Broadband noise model is used to generate the results through numerical simulation and data sources. First a standard sedan car is modelled in Onshape CAD tool and aeroacoustics analysis is carried out on this standard sedan car to get to know the source of aerodynamic noise. From the standard car results made changes in the sedan car geometry like giving fillets to point/sharp edges of wheel arcs, front bumper, hood-line, fender and start of roofline from A-pillar, providing under-flush, optimizing A-pillar beam and optimizing outside rear view mirror and making them fully camera integrated mirror to reduce wake. After optimizing standard geometry carried out aerodynamic analysis with the same four different speed given for standard car (30 m/s, 40m/s, 50m/s and 60 m/s). Generated contour plots and isosurface from CFX for flow characteristics and acoustic sound source with various model like Proudman’s acoustic power level in Db, Curle surface acoustic power level in decibels (dB) and also, Lilley S total noise source to show the sources of noise and how many decibels of noise is generated from those sources. Maximum of 100 decibels of noise is generated from the front bumper and a minimum of 80 decibels were monitored in the results process after comparing the results with standard car which has noise nearly 120 decibels with high fluctuations of turbulence kinetic energy and decrease in its pressure level.

Quantum algorithms for escaping from saddle points
Authors: Zhang Chenyi , Leng Jiaqi , Li Tongyang
Published: August 2021

We initiate the study of quantum algorithms for escaping from saddle points with provable guarantee. Given a functionf:Rn→R, our quantum algorithm outputs anϵ-approximate second-order stationary point usingO~(log2⁡(n)/ϵ1.75)queries to the quantum evaluation oracle (i.e., the zeroth-order oracle). Compared to the classical state-of-the-art algorithm by Jin et al. withO~(log6⁡(n)/ϵ1.75)queries to the gradient oracle (i.e., the first-order oracle), our quantum algorithm is polynomially better in terms oflog⁡nand matches its complexity in terms of1/ϵ. Technically, our main contribution is the idea of replacing the classical perturbations in gradient descent methods by simulating quantum wave equations, which constitutes the improvement in the quantum query complexity withlog⁡nfactors for escaping from saddle points. We also show how to use a quantum gradient computation algorithm due to Jordan to replace the classical gradient queries by quantum evaluation queries with the same complexity. Finally, we also perform numerical experiments that support our theoretical findings.

Para compreender como se deu a relação entre a Igreja Católica e o governo militar brasileiro nos Anos de Chumbo e como se construiu esse jogo de interesses entre as duas instituições com mais poder político no cenário nacional, é realizado o estudo das matérias publicadas no jornal da Cúria Metropolitana de São Paulo, O São Paulo. O período estudado vai de novembro de 1970, quando D. Paulo Evaristo Arns é nomeado para ser o quinto Arcebispo de São Paulo; e março de 1974, quando chega ao fim o governo mais repressor do período ditatorial, o comandado pelo general Emílio Garrastazú Médici. Com o estudo, verificou-se que o jornal, apesar da censura, fez uma cobertura extremamente opinativa. Tal fato traduz o espírito do arcebispo à frente da cidade de São Paulo, D. Paulo Evaristo Arns, que optou pelo enfrentamento aos militares de forma respeitosa e diplomática, e em território nacional.
Mulheres africanas nas redes dos agentes da Inquisição de Lisboa: o caso de Crispina Peres, em Cacheu, século XVII
Authors: Santos Vanicléia Silva
Published: August 2021

O objetivo deste texto é discutir a trajetória de Crispina Peres, proeminente comerciante de Cacheu que foi demonizada por membros dessa comunidade mercantil no contexto de comércio de seres humanos, em meados do século XVII. Por meio de uma análise detalhada dos testemunhos que constam no processo inquisitorial movido contra Crispina, mostro que o Tribunal do Santo Ofício português foi utilizado pelos seus agentes e pela elite local para eliminar inimigos e concorrentes comerciais. O argumento central deste texto é que o estado de viuvez e o sucesso econômico propiciava mais mobilidade para as mulheres livres de Cacheu tocarem seus negócios e fortalecia suas casas comerciais, sem obrigações com regimes patriarcais e patrilineares. Contudo, a mobilidade das viúvas as colocava em posição de vulnerabilidade perante seus concorrentes comerciais portugueses ou nascidos localmente, bem como levava a comunidade a demonizar os meios utilizados por elas para obterem enriquecimentos.

Link quality estimation based on over-sampling and weighted random forest
Authors: Liu Linlan , Feng Yi , Gao Shengrong , Shu Jian
Published: August 2021

Aiming at the imbalance problem of wireless link samples, we propose the link quality estimation method which combines the K-means synthetic minority over-sampling technique (K-means SMOTE) and weighted random forest. The method adopts the mean, variance and asymmetry metrics of the physical layer parameters as the link quality parameters. The link quality is measured by link quality level which is determined by the packet receiving rate. K-means is used to cluster link quality samples. SMOTE is employed to synthesize samples for minority link quality samples, so as to make link quality samples of different link quality levels reach balance. Based on the weighted random forest, the link quality estimation model is constructed. In the link quality estimation model, the decision trees with worse classification performance are assigned smaller weight, and the decision trees with better classification performance are assigned bigger weight. The experimental results show that the proposed link quality estimation method has better performance with samples processed by K-means SMOTE. Furthermore, it has better estimation performance than the ones of Naive Bayesian, Logistic Regression and K-nearest Neighbour estimation methods.
A graph-based feature selection method for learning to rank using spectral clustering for redundancy minimization and biased PageRank for relevance analysis
Authors: Yeh Jen-Yuan , Tsai Cheng-Jung
Published: August 2021

This paper addresses the feature selection problem in learning to rank (LTR). We propose a graph-based feature selection method, named FS-SCPR, which comprises four steps: (i) use ranking information to assess the similarity between features and construct an undirected feature similarity graph; (ii) apply spectral clustering to cluster features using eigenvectors of matrices extracted from the graph; (iii) utilize biased PageRank to assign a relevance score with respect to the ranking problem to each feature by incorporating each feature?s ranking performance as preference to bias the PageRank computation; and (iv) apply optimization to select the feature from each cluster with both the highest relevance score and most information of the features in the cluster. We also develop a new LTR for information retrieval (IR) approach that first exploits FS-SCPR as a preprocessor to determine discriminative and useful features and then employs Ranking SVM to derive a ranking model with the selected features. An evaluation, conducted using the LETOR benchmark datasets, demonstrated the competitive performance of our approach compared to representative feature selection methods and state-of-the-art LTR methods.
Deep semi-supervised learning with weight map for review helpfulness prediction
Authors: Yin Hua , Hu Zhensheng , Peng Yahui , Wang Zhijian , Xu Guanglong , Xu Yanfang
Published: August 2021

Helpful online product reviews, which include massive information, have large impacts on customers? purchasing decisions. In most of e-commerce platforms, the helpfulness of reviews are decided by the votes from other customers. Making full use of these reviews with votes has enormous commercial value, especially in product recommendation. It drives researchers to study the technologies about how to evaluate the review helpfulness automatically. Although Deep Neural Network(DNN), learning from the historical reviews and labels, computed by the votes, has demonstrated effective results, it still has suffered insufficient labeled reviews problem. When the helpfulness of a large number of reviews is unknown for lack of votes, or some useful latest reviews with less votes are submerged by the past reviews, the accuracy of current DNN model decreases quickly. Therefore, we propose an end-to-end deep semi-supervised learning model with weight map, which makes full use of the unlabeled reviews. The training process in this model is divided into three stages:obtaining base classifier by less labeled reviews, iteratively applying weight map strategy on large unlabeled reviews to obtain pseudo-labeled reviews, training on above combined reviews to obtain the re-training classifier. Based on this novel model, we develop an algorithm and conduct a series of experiments, on Amazon Review Dataset, from the aspects of the baseline neural network selection and the strategies comparisons, including two labeling and three weighting strategies. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on utilizing the unlabeled data. And our findings show that the model adopted batch labeling strategy and non-linear weight mapping method has achieved the best performance.
Entropy-based network traffic anomaly classification method resilient to deception
Authors: Ibrahim Juma , Gajin Slavko
Published: August 2021

Entropy-based network traffic anomaly detection techniques are attractive due to their simplicity and applicability in a real-time network environment. Even though flow data provide only a basic set of information about network communications, they are suitable for efficient entropy-based anomaly detection techniques. However, a recent work reported a serious weakness of the general entropy-based anomaly detection related to its susceptibility to deception by adding spoofed data that camouflage the anomaly. Moreover, techniques for further classification of the anomalies mostly rely on machine learning, which involves additional complexity. We address these issues by providing two novel approaches. Firstly, we propose an efficient protection mechanism against entropy deception, which is based on the analysis of changes in different entropy types, namely Shannon, R?nyi, and Tsallis entropies, and monitoring the number of distinct elements in a feature distribution as a new detection metric. The proposed approach makes the entropy techniques more reliable. Secondly, we have extended the existing entropy-based anomaly detection approach with the anomaly classification method. Based on a multivariate analysis of the entropy changes of multiple features as well as aggregation by complex feature combinations, entropy-based anomaly classification rules were proposed and successfully verified through experiments. Experimental results are provided to validate the feasibility of the proposed approach for practical implementation of efficient anomaly detection and classification method in the general real-life network environment.

Does Visibility of an Engagement Partner's Association with Recent Client Restatements Increase Fee Pressures from Non-Restating Clients?
Authors: Chi Wuchun , Lisic Ling Lei , Myers Linda A. , Pevzner Mikhail , Seidel Timothy A.
Published: August 2021

SYNOPSIS

We examine whether engagement partners who have recently been associated with client restatements experience increased audit fee pressures from their non-restating clients. Using data from the United States (U.S.) and Taiwan, we find evidence of lower audit fees among non-restating companies whose audit engagement partner was recently associated with another client's restatement. These findings are generally strongest when the partner-associated restatement is more prominent or severe, and in the U.S., when non-restating clients are in the same industry as the restating client. Although we find very limited evidence that fee pressures lead to lower-quality audits for these partners' other clients in Taiwan, we find that when the partner-associated restatement is more prominent or severe, fee pressures negatively impact audit quality in the U.S. These findings provide further insight on the impact of engagement partner disclosure for audit quality.

Authors: Burton F. Greg , Summers Scott L. , Wilks T. Jeffrey , Wood David A.
Published: August 2021

SYNOPSIS

The relevance of academic accounting research to practice has been frequently discussed in the accounting academy, yet very little data has been put forth in these discussions. We create Relevance of Accounting Research (ROAR) scores by asking accounting professionals to read and evaluate the titles and abstracts of every article published in 12 leading accounting journals for the years 2016 to 2018, inclusive. These scores allow for an evidence-based evaluation and discussion of how academic accounting research is perceived by accounting professionals. The scores also allow us to identify the articles, authors, journals, and accounting topic areas that are perceived to be more relevant to accounting practice. By continuing to produce these scores in perpetuity, we expect this data to help academics and professionals better identify and utilize research relevant to the accounting profession.

Authors: Fraundorf Erin Corsi , Araújo Eustáquio , Ueno Hiroshi , Schneider Patricia Pigato , Kim Ki Beom
Published: August 2021

Objectives

To assess speech performance of adult patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with Invisalign.

Materials and Methods

Twenty-four adult patients with Invisalign (Invisalign group: 6 men, 18 women; average age; 34.88 years) and 20 adult patients with fixed labial appliances (fixed group: 5 men, 15 women; average age; 38.85 years) were evaluated. Speech was recorded immediately before delivery of the first set of clear aligners or bonding of labial appliances (T0), immediately after delivery or bonding (T1), and 2 months after delivery or bonding (T2). Speech was evaluated via a combination of three auditory analyses: (1) objective acoustic analysis through digital sonography, (2) semiobjective assessment by six speech and language pathologists, and (3) subjective assessment patient questionnaire.

Results

The objective acoustic analysis showed a statistically significant difference over time from T0 to T1, T1 to T2, and T0 to T2 for Invisalign patients. The semiobjective analysis revealed a significant speech alteration from T0 to T1 and T1 to T2 for both groups, and from T0 to T2 in the Invisalign group. The subjective analysis showed a significant difference between means of Invisalign and fixed group patient perception at both T1 and T2.

Conclusions

Invisalign treatment significantly affected speech, and although patients experience some level of adaptation, speech does not return to normal after 2 months of treatment.

Narrativas que hacen posible pensar en la educación como un derecho humano en Colombia
Authors: Villa Holguin Edison
Published: August 2021

Se propone indagar por el contexto presente de la educación como problemática en Colombia, reflexionando acerca de la situación generada por las luchas sociales que buscan que se garantice la educación como un “derecho humano”, en el marco condicionante que se impone desde los administradores políticos del ordenamiento jurídico neoliberal, para que la “educación” no tenga dichos atributos. Al parecer, en el telón de fondo del pretexto educativo como servicio, se legislan y confabulan los intereses y justificaciones de quienes se benefician de la cualificación eficiente y rentable del “capital humano” de cuenta del establecimiento. Buscando analizar tal situación, se parte en esta reflexión de los siguientes interrogantes: ¿será posible en Colombia pensar el disfrute pleno del derecho a la educación? ¿es posible acceder a la educación como derecho no dependiente de la ley del mercado? ¿en qué nociones de educación se amparan los que argumentan la lucha por la educación como derecho?

Para ello, se plantearán algunas reflexiones sobre la posible incidencia que tendría mi investigación doctoral en la enseñanza-aprendizaje del derecho. Es decir, que las próximas líneas (o partituras, si se quiere) se musicalizarán con mi esfuerzo por comprender el proceso de resignificación del derecho a la cultura que puede estar en los procesos de movilización Partido de las Doñas y Cuerpos Gramaticales del colectivo Agroarte. Ahora bien, es pertinente indicar que este proyecto se ubica en el paradigma sociocrítico, con un enfoque sociojurídico, y se propone “mostrar la relación del discurso formalista del derecho con otros saberes y discursos inmersos en ideas, opiniones y símbolos” (Duque, González, Cossio y Martínez, 2018, p. 21).
Peculiarities of notary protection of corporate rights of legal entities
Authors: Derevyanko D.S.
Published: August 2021

In modern conditions of development and reforming the sources of legal regulation of private law relations, questions of their research have become especially actual. Approaches aimed to consolidate new, more appropriate mechanisms for regulating well-known legal institutions in the civil law of Ukraine have emerged. Article 9 of the Civil Code of Ukraine stipulates that its provisions are subject to application for the settlement of relations that may arise in the fields of environmental protection, use of natural resources, family, labor relations, if they are not regulated by other legislative acts. The above determines the study, including the features of notarial protection of corporate rights of both legal entities and comparison with the rules of such protection of the rights of other partic-ipants in civil relations. Corporate rights are the rights of a person whose share is defined in the authorized capital (property) of a busi-ness organization, including the authority to participate in the management of such business organization, receiving dividends (a certain share of profits) and assets in case of liquidation, as well as other laws and statutory documents. Corporate rights may belong to individuals and legal entities, the state of Ukraine, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and territorial communities. Taking into account the legal nature of corporate rights, their definition, in par-ticular, through the possibility of receiving dividends and part of the property as a result of liquidation, corporate rights may belong to legal entities, including, for example, companies, cooperatives, farms, private enterprises and more. At the same time, in the article it has been substantiated the approach according to which the consolidation of provisions on the state, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and territorial communities as legal entities under public law is inexpedient and premature.

The right to equal pay as a variety of socio-economic rights.
Authors: Pyzhova M.O.
Published: August 2021

The article considers the right to fair pay in the context of socio-economic rights. International legal acts on the existence of provisions on fair remuneration are analyzed. Emphasis is placed on the fact that fair pay is part of the block of socio-economic rights, which are characterized by a significant number of valuation concepts. It is noted that wages are the most important social standard for society, while the social standard means scientifically sound and socially recognized levels of material, spiritual and social needs, the state of social processes necessary for the proper functioning and development of society.Emphasis is placed on the fact that despite the fact that there is a whole package of international legal documents that describe and normatively establish the general principles and conditions of formation, functioning and development of the welfare state, none of these acts has an unambiguous interpretation of what specifically in terms of the quality and quantity of social benefits provided by the state, the criterion of «fair wages ensures a decent standard of living» is met.It is noted that a serious problem in determining the «fair wage» is the weak development of models for deter-mining the level of human needs, as well as absolute independence, dependence of wage standards on other social norms established by the state.It is concluded that at the present stage of development of the market economy in Ukraine the priority tasks are the restoration and expanded reproduction of human potential; restoration of economic growth as a basis for increasing the welfare of workers; formation of a high-tech national reproductive system and a corresponding modern structure of high-quality labor force; overcoming the relations of alienation and exploitation, including through a significant increase in wages and the development of various systems of employee participation in profits and incomes; formation of cooperation mechanisms for development at both macro and micro levels. This requires the development and implementation of a national program to improve the quality and dignity of work, one of the most important parts of which is the institution of wages.

The purpose of the article is to define the concept and features of administrative and legal means of legal regu-lation of corruption prevention. 

It is substantiated that the administrative and legal means of preventing corruption is an integral part of legal reg-ulation. The use of these funds is conditioned by the goals of preventing corruption, which are divided into strategic and tactical. The essence of administrative and legal means of preventing corruption is considered in accordance with the regulatory, institutional, instrumental, normative, managerial, activity and state-centered approaches. Ac-cording to the regulatory aspect, administrative and legal means of preventing corruption are understood as a means of streamlining public relations and a way for the subjects of anti-corruption activities to exercise their powers. In the institutional aspect, these means should be understood as a set of bodies and their officials determined by legis-lative and subordinate legal acts, whose powers include the prevention of corruption, as well as the competence of these entities. In the instrumental aspect, administrative and legal means of preventing corruption are technologi-cally legal techniques and methods of implementing administrative and legal regulation in the studied area, as well as algorithms for the application of these techniques and methods. In the normative aspect, the investigated means represent a hierarchically structured set of legislative and subordinate legal acts, including international legal acts that have been ratified, approved or adopted in accordance with the established procedure. In the managerial aspect, administrative and legal means of preventing corruption are a set of managerial actions and decisions of a nation-wide, sectoral and intradepartmental nature aimed at creating organizational, personnel, financial, material and other conditions for the effective prevention of corruption by the subjects of this activity. In the activity aspect, the investigated means represent a set of legal and extra-legal actions of the subjects of preventing corruption, aimed at achieving the goals and objectives set in the anti-corruption program documents in accordance with the established deadlines and stages. The state-centered aspect encompasses a set of ways to preserve the interests of the state, which include preventing corruption in comparison with the interests of a number of officials to preserve their right to privacy of information about their property, income and expenses, to combine some positions and professions, and the like.The set of administrative and legal means, united by specific goals of law enforcement and directed by the will of the subject of legal relations, is an organic part of administrative and legal regulation.

Published: August 2021

The article is devoted to current issues of democratic progress of Ukraine within the framework of the constitu-tional and legal provision of direct government by the people. Some aspects of the civil society formation are also considered. The reasons which do not allow Ukraine to be identified as a consolidated democracy in the light of international experience have been analyzed.The article analyzes the difficulties faced by Ukraine in the process of democratic transformation. Democratic state is a state based on the theory of popular sovereignty and the recognition of the people as the only source of power, the consistent guarantee of human and civil rights and freedoms, ensuring their equality, real participation in the management of the affairs of society and the state.Despite the existence of formal institutions of democracy and government by the people, the Ukrainian democ-racy shouldn’t be overestimated, paying particular attention to the essential aspects. Ukraine cannot be considered as consolidated democracy for all indicators. Democratic progress is considered slow, as corruption and a limited field of public initiative stand in the way.Currently, the problem of ensuring a genuine effect for the decisions of the all-Ukrainian referendum is an overdue issue. It is urgent to solve another problem in the sphere of direct democracy, namely the legislative settlement of the issue of local referendums, which have been actually impossible for the last eight and a half years. The adoption of this law is of paramount importance to our society – it can reduce social tensions and change the protest area – from ineffective demonstrations to productive and constructive voting.In terms of sustainable, consolidated democracies, Ukraine still remains an electoral, that is, unstable country. And for its final establishment, transformation into a consolidated one a great amount of time is still needed.
Religion and human rights in artificial insemination.

It is pointed out that modern man is particularly sensitive to the imposition of any worldview and way of life. The only language in today's world is the language of freedom, even if there is a substitution of this concept and its abuse. The value of freedom is not indifferent to religion. Therefore, the only way to spread the religious worldview in society is not the force of coercion, but the force of gravity.

It is noted that the problem of the relationship between bioethics and religion is determined by a number of reasons, both scientific and theoretical, and socio-cultural plan. The current stage of development of scientific thought is characterized by the emergence of a new phenomenon - bioethics. Bioethics is an integrative science that synthesizes knowledge about man, which is already substantiated in medicine, psychology, psychiatry, religious anthropology, philosophical anthropology and others. The moral aspect is the center of bioethics, it is associated with its attitude to all living things, to life as such. Because of this we can talk about the formation of a bioethical worldview as a holistic system of views on the human problem. The beginning of the process of forming a bioethical worldview is closely connected with scientific progress, biomedical practices, and the aggravation of religious problems. The uniqueness of bioethical discourse creates the preconditions for the development of philosophical and methodological ground for the study of bioethical worldview. The methodological significance of the problem is related to the need to rethink the fundamental philosophical problems that relate to demental philosophical problems that relate to the definition of attributive characteristics of man.

It is established that the religious problems that arise when using the IVF method are associated with several components: the production of germ cells, the lack of connection between conception and the natural idea of marital intimacy, obtaining an excessive number of embryos and manipulating them (elimination, reduction, freezing) embryos, preimplantation diagnosis), the use of germ cells of third parties. In this case, in vitro fertilization can be morally justified by religion and an acceptable method of infertility therapy for the Orthodox Christian, if it does not kill embryos and does not break the bond "in the flesh" even at the level of gametes.

Although the economy of a county that is linked to surrounding towns and rural areas constitutes a multiple basic economic unit within China's national economy, it usually exhibits independent characteristics and functions. Consequently, a county's economy plays a critical role in the overall economic development of a country's national economy. We created an evaluation index system based on entropy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to carry out a comprehensive evaluation of county economy across the entire Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. We found serious imbalances in the development of these counties, with county economies within Beijing and Tianjin being more advanced than those in Hebei Province. Furthermore, there were marked differences between county economies within prefecture-level cities of Hebei Province. The developmental level of counties in cities like Langfang, Tangshan and Chengde was relatively high. Conversely, the level of development of counties in Hengshui, Baoding, Xingtai and Handan was lower. Moreover, there were imbalances among cities in relation to county economic development, especially in Langfang, with smaller differences being found in Hengshui and Qinhuangdao. We analysed and identified the factors influencing differences between counties before providing recommendations.

Authors: Gigauri Iza , Djakeli Kakhaber
Published: August 2021

The Health Reform of the country is a very difficult burden for two reasons: firstly, we need an appropriate economy level in the country, that can bear the new health model, established through reform, and secondly, the country needs a health system that is appropriate either for its economic system or for its tradition and history. Health reformers need to match all the points of the health reform concept, its implementation, and the systems of the country. Due to its Soviet past, Georgia struggled in the last twenty years to find an effective and cost efficient health model for its citizens. Starting from the 90s, Georgia instituted three health reforms and finally found some sustainable measures. The present article explores the three waves of the Georgian Health Care reforms, and analyses the factors of their success and the reasons for their failures. The importance of studying the Health Care systems is derived from Sustainable Development Goals targeting Health issues including health-related topics to improve the population’s health and wellbeing as well as achieve universal coverage of health services. The research contributes to the knowledge regarding the Health Care Reforms, and their practical implications on a country.
