Published: June 2020

One of the historical periods of Iran that can be studied for contagious diseases and how they spread, is the late Qajar period. The city of Mashhad, after Tehran and Tabriz, had a special place among Russian and English governments in the Qajar period as one of the significant religious, political and economic centers in Iran due to Imam Reza’s holy shrine, a large population and great geographical scale. The central governments’ incompetence in preventing the outbreak of contagious diseases and lack of essential amenities, caused many lives to be lost all over Iran and especially Mashhad during the Qajar period. Hence, the neighbor governments such as Russia, ordered for quarantines to be set up at the borders and dispatched doctors to stop diseases’ from reaching Russian lands. However, these attempts did not prevent the deaths of people in the border areas, especially in Mashhad, from diseases such as cholera, plague, smallpox, typhus, flu and other diseases. In this study, we investigate and explain the subjects: disease outbreaks, the problem of commerce, quarantine and its outcomes at the end of Qajar period, between the years 1892 and 1921 AD in Mashhad, with the help of historical and documentary sources using an analytical and medical historiography method.

Background:Evaluating the state of clinical teaching is a very essential aspect of useful teaching.It helps in determining areas of strength and areas for improvement. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to evaluate clinical teaching activities in a pediatric hospital at the Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, based on standards provided by the Ministry of Health in Iran.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from October to December 2018 in the setting of a pediatric hospital of the Tabriz University of medical sciences. Participants were selected from this hospital: academic members and medical students who were present in the pediatric hospital during this investigation. The evaluation tool was a checklist of standards relating to clinical teaching settings. The outcome measures included four domains, assessed using mean standard scores: teaching round, morning report, journal club, and outpatient clinic. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare scores on the checklist among academic members and medical students.Results:A total of 126 participants completed the checklist. Among the participants, 50 (39.6%) were 5th-year medical students, 51 (40.4%) were final-year medical students and 25(19.8%)were academic members. The highest and lowest mean standard scores were 85.3 and 34.5,the morning report and the teaching round by final-year medical students, respectively. No statistically significant differences were found among academic members and medical students’mean standard scores for teaching round (P = 0.983), morning report (P= 0.696), journal club (P= 0.952), and outpatient clinic (P = 0.060).Conclusion:Considering both academic members and medical students, clinical teaching standards were not widely regarded as important in the pediatric wards of the Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. Some interventions are indicated to improve adherence to the Ministry of Health standards.

Background: Incivility or challenging behaviors in the scientific environment are so harmful that they cannot be neglected. Therefore, these behaviors should be addressed promptly and effectively. The aim of this study was to identify challenging behaviors from other behaviors and evaluate the severity of these behaviors from the viewpoint of university professors in medical students. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on a sample of 110 faculty members in Faculty of Medicine of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. To identify challenging behaviors from other behaviors, the majority (>50%) was considered. Also, to determine the challenging intensity of each behavior, behaviors that had higher scores were regarded as very high challenging behaviors. Results: Based on the review of external and internal resources and the viewpoints of professors,32 behaviors were prepared in the form of a checklist for the faculty members to identify the challenge and severity of it. Behaviors such as student insolence, disturbance of class order, and non-respect of rules, as well as disruptive behavior with professors were recognized as the most challenging behaviors. Regarding the intensity of the student incivility, the disruptive behavior with professors, the non-customary jokes, the disruptive behavior with students, and the lack of compliance with the charter of patient rights were considered as very high incivility. Conclusion: Students’ challenging behaviors interferes in their own learning, others’ learning,staff as well as other individuals’ rights, and order and security of educational environment.Professors and instructors ought to identify these behaviors and manage them.

Published: June 2020

Background:The proper levels of critical thinking (CT) and professional self-concept (PSC) both have key roles in the academic achievements of nursing students. The present study was conducted to examine a possible correlation between PSC and CT.Methods:This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on 154 eligible nursing students, selected through the stratified random sampling technique. For this purpose, two instruments were utilized: the Persian version of nurses’ self-concept questionnaire and Ricketts’ Critical Thinking Disposition Assessment Scale. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was employed to analyze data using SPSS 16.Results:Although levels of CT vary in different semesters, the correlation coefficient between CT and PSC among nursing students was -0.46 (P<0.001). Therefore, there was a significant, inverse, moderate correlation between these two variables.Conclusion:The correlation between the total scores of PSC and CT was significant and negative, indicating increasing professional self-concept in students decreases their levels of CT. It seems that modern teaching methods based on problem-solving are less used in nursing students’ education, which leads to greater development of CT. It is believed that other underlying factors may have contributed to the negative correlation between PSC and CT. Further studies in this regard are recommended.

Knowledge representation in graph-models of complex technical systems
Authors: Muntyan Evgenia R.
Published: June 2020

The article analyzes a number of methods of knowledge formation using various graph models, including oriented, undirected graphs with the same type of edges and graphs with multiple and different types of edges. This article shows the possibilities of using graphs to represent a three-level structure of knowledge in the field of complex technical systems modeling. In such a model, at the first level, data is formed in the form of unrelated graph vertices, at the second level – information presented by a related undirected graph, and at the third level – knowledge in the form of a set of graph paths. The proposed interpretation of the structure of knowledge allows to create new opportunities for analytical study of knowledge and information, their properties and relationships.

Published: June 2020

The paper considers the algorithm of diagnostics of the technical system States at future time points by extrapolation of the results of current observations using a genetic algorithm. The novelty of this work lies in the fact that the proposed algorithm is able to generate predictions of technical system States using predictive algorithms and mathematical rules. The paper offers an original view on the use of genetic algorithm as an independent predictive algorithm. The described algorithm is a combination of a modified genetic algorithm and a number of mathematical rules. So, as a modification of the genetic algorithm, its parallel variant (island model) is used, and as a fitness function, a function is used that tests new alternative solutions for distance from the geometric representation of the averaged values of the time series graph. The algorithm performs prediction for a given number of time intervals ahead, for processes that are affected by a limited number of external factors. The efficiency of the algorithm was confirmed by an experiment, which resulted in a predictive solution, the General direction of the process (which was tested in practice).

Authors: MEHRNO Amir , OKTAŞ Recai , ODABAS Mehmet Serhat
Published: June 2020

The thyroid hormone, which is secreted by the thyroid gland, helps regulate the body's metabolism. Thyroid disorders can range from a small, harmless goiter that does not need to be treated for life-threatening cancer. The most common thyroid problems include abnormal production of thyroid hormones. Overproduction of the thyroid leads to the thyroid and inadequate hormone production leads to hypothyroidism. Although the effects can be unpleasant or uncomfortable, many thyroid problems can be managed well if they are timely diagnosed and treated correctly. In this paper, the diagnosis of thyroid disease is investigated using deep learning based on the imperialist competitive algorithm feature selection method.
Development of a Mobile Robot for Remote Monitoring for Multimedia and Data Acquisition
Authors: AGAJO James
Published: June 2020

This research is based on the development of a mobile robot for remote monitoring and data acquisition. The project aims at improving the problem found in the available data acquisition systems. The available systems are stationary systems that make use of data loggers to store the acquired data and they also require human personnel to move the system from one place to another while some systems require that the user pay for an internet connection for storing the acquired data on the Internet. To eliminate these problems there is a need for a robot with the ability to move from one place to another, a robotic arm for taking readings from specific points and a direct RF connection for data acquisition. The robot makes use of four wheels for movement, three servos to achieve three degrees of freedom with a Wi-Fi camera and DHT11 sensor for real-time data acquisition. Data acquired from the sensor is been transferred wirelessly to the OLED display on the remote controller by the HC-11 RF transceiver module. From the results obtained, the robot has an average speed of 0.14m/s when carrying a payload of 1Kg and the accuracy of the robotic is ±2º. The power consumed in the busy mode is quite remarkable with a difference of 650mW as compared to the idle mode. Therefore, the system developed in this work will therefore reduce the risk posed to field agents since it does not require a supervisor on the monitored site. Also by replacing an online server for data logging by a wireless remote control interface with display, the cost of implementing the system was reduced.

Oryzanol has been reported to reduce serum total cholesterol (hypolipidemic agent) by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme responsible for the metabolic pathway that produces cholesterol and isoprenoid. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the inhibition activity of oryzanol derivatives on HMG-CoA reductase by molecular docking. Four structure of oryzanol derivatives, Lanosteryl-ferulate, Brassicasteryl-ferulate, Lupeol-ferulate, and Cholesteryl-ferulate were used as ligands for molecular docking. The HMG-CoA reductase structure was obtained from protein data bank and the study was performed using AutoDock Tools as a molecular docking software. All oryzanol derivatives show binding affinity against HMG-CoA reductase. Lupeol-ferulate was predicted to be the best inhibitory activity against HMG-CoA reductase because of molecular docking.
Pemodelan dan prediksi jumlah penumpang pelabuhan bakauheni selama periode tsunami Selat Sunda menggunakan autoregressive integrated moving average
Authors: Mahkya Dani Al , Anggraini Dian , Fitriawati Andi , Siahaan Radot MH
Published: June 2020

Bakauheni Port is a ferry port located in Bakauheni District, South Lampung. This port is one of the major ports located on Sumatera island connecting Sumatera and Java and is located in the Sunda Strait. The tsunami that occurred in the Sunda Strait on December 22, 2018 indirectly affected the sea crossing node, especially the Bakauheni-Merak route. This can lead to changes in time series data patterns. The phenomenon is expected to be captured through a mathematical modeling that can be used as a decision making in the future. The purpose of this study was to model and predict the number of Bakauheni port passengers during the Sunda Strait Tsunami period using the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA). The ARIMA approach uses past information as a basis for modeling. Based on visual information on the number of Bakauheni Port passengers, there was an increase in December in general. Other information is that there are seasonal patterns that occur with a span of 7 days. This was indicated by the pattern of repeated increases in the number of passengers every Sunday. After the tsunami, the number of passengers decreased for 2 days. In the 3 days after the Tsunami or during the Christmas holiday on December 25, 2018, the number of passengers has increased again. Based on the analysis and discussion that has been done, the best time series model obtained is ARIMA([5],1,2)(2,1,0)7 with a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 9.55%.

Por uma política linguística nos serviços de saúde: um estudo sociolinguístico do Hospital Regional de Malanje (Angola)
Authors: Timbane Alexandre Antonio , Bernardo Ezequiel Pedro José
Published: June 2020

O artigo procura refletir sobre as políticas linguísticas hospitalares em Angola, partindo de um viés das políticas públicas que podem ser vistas como promotoras da (in)exclusão dos falantes das línguas nacionais que ao recorrerem os serviços de saúde sentem-se marginalizados e ou estigmatizados ao serem obrigados a falar em português por se tratar de língua oficial. A maior parte dos médicos não tem domínio das línguas autóctones. Como metodologia, entrevistou-se cinco idosos que não falam português e que foram atendidos nos serviços hospitalares de Malanje. Das entrevistas se conclui que as políticas públicas angolanas no campo hospitalar não dão atenção aos pacientes que não falam português, atitude que exclui para além de prestar mau serviço à esses cidadãos. Vários documentos oficiais do Ministério da Saúde e Governo não discutem o papel da língua no atendimento e serviços de saúde. Esta situação promove exclusão e denuncia a necessidade de inclusão de intérpretes ou tradutores para que haja comunicação plena. A língua de sinais pouco ou nada é considerada nos atendimentos hospitalares o que é grave se “todos são iguais perante a Constituição e a lei” (REPÚBLICA DE ANGOLA, 2010). A inserção de intérpretes e ou tradutores em línguas locais reservaria o direito do cidadão expressar-se livremente na língua que melhor domina o que favoreceria o diálogo orientado nas práticas de cuidados à saúde.
Angola diante do caos: a memória enquanto resgate da tradição angolana em Parábola do Cágado Velho
Authors: Almeida Carolina Silva , Oliveira Rita De Cássia
Published: June 2020

Ao investigar a constituição identitária do continente africano, deparamo-nos com uma paisagem imersa em disputas territoriais e imposições culturais. Os países africanos se posicionaram de formas diversas quanto a essa realidade, na intenção de resistir a apropriação de seu espaço e tentativa de apagamento da cultura. É sob este cenário que Pepetela em Parábola do Cágado Velho (1996) transita a fim de narrar a trajetória do povo angolano a partir de Ulume, protagonista do romance e figura representativa da tradição em meio a ameaça de ruptura dessa herança. Nesta narrativa consideraremos a indispensabilidade da memória enquanto símbolo de resistência e perpetuação da cultura, recuperando o legado angolano com base no reavivamento das histórias herdadas e vividas. Em consonância com este estudo, traremos enquanto aportes teóricos os seguintes estudiosos: Paul Ricoeur (2007), Michael Pollak (1992), Maurice Halbwachs (2003), Jean Chevalier (2018), e outros. Enveredaremos pela memória resgatando os objetos e lugares que incitam o processo de rememoração do protagonista e de outros personagens que auxiliarão na recontagem da guerra civil em Angola.
Quando os mortos convocam os vivos: a memória como compromisso ético
Authors: Coelho Lilian Reichert
Published: June 2020

O texto apresenta uma aproximação ao romance contemporâneo O espírito dos meus pais continua a subir na chuva (2011), do escritor argentino Patricio Pron, a partir da hipótese de que o narrador-personagem assume um compromisso ético com a geração do pai, que lutou contra a ditadura, e com a própria geração. A perspectiva adotada estabelece relações entre o conhecer e o narrar, entre a testemunha legítima, mas muda, que é o pai, e a herança que consigna a palavra ao filho, o que exige uma escrita comprometida do herdeiro como manutenção da memória num mundo desencantado. A questão da memória é abordada pela leitura dos principais procedimentos empregados pelo narrador, que envolvem a construção de uma série de paralelismos e a simulação de uma história policial para representar seu processo de busca pela verdade, que só pode ser atingida pela organização legada pelo pai na forma de um arquivo composto por materiais de textualidades não-literárias e distintas: textos jornalísticos, fotografias, anúncios, anotações. Além da questão da memória, aborda-se o tema da violência no que diz respeito ao crime comum, banal, do tempo presente, articulando-o ao desaparecimento de pessoas durante a ditadura argentina e ao trauma gerado nos sobreviventes. Tal articulação resulta no argumento do narrador de que as duas gerações foram derrotadas, já que as contradições entre permanências e transformações sociais e históricas comprovam a perpetuação do medo como forma de opressão.
Restos discursivos: considerações acerca do testemunho sobre a Ditadura Civil-Militar Brasileira
Authors: Marques Juliene Da Silva , Motta Diego Airoso da
Published: June 2020

Tendo em vista as manifestações políticas dos últimos anos a respeito do pedido por uma nova intervenção militar, este artigo tem como objeto de investigação testemunhos a respeito da Ditadura Civil-Militar Brasileira e comentários acerca destes, que mostram como os sentidos a respeito desse período são (re)significados no presente. A partir dessa materialidade e de seus deslizamentos de sentido, o objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar o modo como esses testemunhos são colocados em movimento hoje. Para tanto, são analisadas algumas sequências discursivas tendo como base os pressupostos da Análise de Discurso francesa e alguns aportes da filosofia política contemporânea. Desse modo, questões a respeito do silêncio, do sentido e das condições de produção foram colocadas em cena e, com elas, foi possível observar que, assim como o narrador benjaminiano, o analista de discurso precisa escovar a história a contrapelo para investigar os restos que, muitas vezes, são desautorizados institucionalmente, mas que se fazem resistentes no testemunho de cada sujeito que dá voz à sua experiência.

Authors: VOZNYAK Halyna , ZHEREBYLO Iryna
Published: June 2020

Introduction. The initiated processes of administrative and financial decentralization in Ukraine have actualized the issues of modernization of the social sphere in general and its key segments, among which education occupies a prominent place.

Purpose is to identify the features of the current state of functioning of the education sector and outline the directions of its reform in the conditions of decentralization.

Results. The article presents a problem-oriented analysis of the functioning of the education sector in terms of its components: preschool and secondary education, vocational education and higher education, as well as the management and financing of science. The main problems that are characteristic of the field are identified, among which the imperfect mechanism of financing, built on directing the funds for the maintenance of educational institutions, and not ensuring the quality of education according to the principle of "money go after the child", the lack of incentives for professional development of teaching staff, etc., are highlighted. The specifics of functioning and financing of pre-school education by united territorial communities, peculiarities of use of educational subvention are revealed. The problems of vocational education and the need to change approaches to its organization were emphasized. The analysis shows that, despite the positive changes and new opportunities that have emerged in the field of education and due to administrative and financial decentralization, there are risks of not achieving the planned goals. These include: low financial capacity of communities, lack of established standards of educational funding, conflicts about school closures, shortages of professionals with education and work experience who could exercise new authority and manage the on-site education process, and divide responsibility for quality of learning. Possible directions of improvement of the sphere of education are outlined.

Known to date means of information protection does not have a high degree of noise immunity and reliability. This work is related to the development of a more effective way to protect the source information using a software-analytical method based on the Vigenère cipher. The best known and most widely used methods of symmetric encryption are DES and the Vigenère cipher. The Vigenère cipher is a polyalphabetic encryption method for alphabetic text by using key words. The Vigenère cipher requires a single key asked a set b of letters. These sets are signed with the repetition of the message, and then the generated sequence is added back to the plaintext on modul (the power of the alphabet). To achieve this goal we propose to use multiple iteration in which the corresponding algorithms of encryption and decryption consist of successive cycles of the same type of encryption. The developed mathematical model for block coding, as well as methods and algorithms for their decoding. Presented in a modified Vigenère algorithm with the use of a block cipher based on variation of number of iteration with shift key, allows, in contrast to the known algorithms that more reliably protect the data on the Web server.

The development of massive amount of information from any source of group at any time, wherever and from any device which is termed as Big Data. The age group of big data becomes a dangerous challenge to grip, take out and access these data is short length of time. The detection of everyday itemsets is an significant issue of data mining which helps in engendering the qualitative information for the business insight and helps for the verdict makers. For the extracting the necessary itemsets from the big data a variety of big data logical techniques has been evolved such as relationship rule mining, genetic algorithm, mechanism learning, FP-growth algorithm etc. In this paper we suggest FP-ANN algorithm to promote the FP enlargement calculation with neural networks to maintain the feed forward approach. The recommend algorithm uses the Twitter social dataset for the collection of frequent itemsets and the proportional analysis of this approach is done using the different performance measuring parameters such as Precision, Recall, F-measure, Time complexity, Computation cost and time. The simulation of proposed work is done using the JDK, JavaBeans, and Wamp server software. The experimental results of projected algorithm gives better results in deference of time difficulty, computation cost and time also. It also gives enhanced results for the Precision, recall and F-measure.

The disaster safe construction practice for an engineer is a most difficult job. Today we have witnessed these natural disasters at its peak. Even after all highly skilled techniques used for constructions these natural disasters-like floods, earthquake, landslides etc.… are not negotiable. However, we are learning lessons from these disasters and upgrading ourselves so that a resistant structure is constructed. Among these disasters, the less predictable the less comprehended and highly disastrous is an earthquake. Even after the development of technology this disaster is highly unpredictable. Conventional attempts to make a building earthquake resistance which do not collapse under strong seismic forces has proved to be satisfactory but these techniques will cause a damage to non-structural components such as glass, window, door etc.… (OR) even some times the failure of structural components which leads to non-functionality of a building, but it should be noted that building like corporate offices, call centers, hospitals etc.… must remain functional even after the earthquake. Hence special techniques are required to design the buildings to overcome above problem. Passive energy dissipating devices is the technique used to dissipate the energy incorporated in the building due to an earthquake.

Feed-forward neural networks can be trained based on a gradient-descent based backpropagation algorithm. But, these algorithms require more computation time. Extreme Learning Machines (ELM’s) are time-efficient, and they are less complicated than the conventional gradient-based algorithm. In previous years, an SRAM based convolutional neural network using a receptive – field Approach was proposed. This neural network was used as an encoder for the ELM algorithm and was implemented on FPGA. But, this neural network used an inaccurate 3-stage pipelined parallel adder. Hence, this neural network generates imprecise stimuli to the hidden layer neurons. This paper presents an implementation of precise convolutional neural network for encoding in the ELM algorithm based on the receptive - field approach at the hardware level. In the third stage of the pipelined parallel adder, instead of approximating the output by using one 2-input 15-bit adder, one 4-input 14-bit adder is used. Also, an additional weighted pixel array block is used. This weighted pixel array improves the accuracy of generating 128 weighted pixels. This neural network was simulated using ModelSim-Altera 10.1d and synthesized using Quartus II 13.0 sp1. This neural network is implemented on Cyclone V FPGA and used for pattern recognition applications. Although this design consumes slightly more hardware resources, this design is more accurate compared to previously existing encoders.

Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) have recently found extensive use in sensor applications. The design of PCFs is crucial for optimal sensing performance. In this work, an index guided Hollow Core Photonic Crystal Fiber (HC-PCF) with hexagonal shaped cladding is proposed for sensing harmful food additives. Using COMSOL software we performed extensive simulations and have shown that our proposed PCF design achieves a very high sensitivity > 90% for typical food additives like Saccharin, Sorbitol, and Butyl Acetate. We have also compared our proposed design and shown that it significantly outperforms the current PCF designs. The presence of hexagonal airholes in the entire cladding layer of the proposed PCF design enhances sensitivity in comparison to the previous designs. Also, the increase in size of the circular core supports the increased sensitivity.

This Paper proposes a Novel and Modified Voltage Oriented Control (M-VOC) strategy of an Active Front-End (AFE) Rectifier that can give unity power factor at input side and regulated DC voltage at output side with reversible/bidirectional power flow. The proposed rectifier with M-VOC can find its place in applications like Wind energy conversion systems, DC load for electronic equipment, and adjustable AC drives. Simulation Analysis is done on this M-VOC strategy for an Active Front-End (AFE) Rectifier on MATLAB/ Simulink platform with the verification on the validity of the proposed system. The proposed Rectifier with M-VOC strategy gives good transient/dynamic response for the variations of load at output side. It also gives a pure sinusoidal input current with the elimination of harmonics so that this proposed Rectifier can be used in the case of back to back 2/3 level voltage source converters of wind energy systems that supports bidirectional power flow.
