The use of Imagery is a good characteristic of any literary artist; it is defined as a mythical device, which makes illustrative representation of the ideas of the poet, novelist to create a fictional and imaginary world in the mind of the readers. The ability of a poet or novelist to effectively use the imagery enables him to convey his message by creating an image in a single line rather than writing a whole book full of arguments. In this paper the literary work of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, jibran khalil jibran is reviewed. He successfully employs this figure of speech in his writings. It is observed that he is among st the best writers who utilized all distinctive types of imagery in his work which deserves to be looked into for artistic value. He used imagery, which is a powerful tool of literature to convey his philosophical ideas.

Специфіка діяльності митних лабораторій ЄС
Authors: Сушкова О. Є.
Published: December 2019

Стаття присвячена дослідженню специфіки діяльності митних лабораторій в Європейському Союзі з метою визначення підходів щодо здійснення експертної діяльності, які можуть стати перспективними та корисними з метою запровадження у роботі Департаменту податкових та митних експертиз ДФС. Актуальність теми дослідження обумовлена євроінтеграційним курсом України, у зв’язку з чим вивчення і формування шляхів адаптації до національних реалій досвіду та сучасних підходів щодо роботи митних лабораторій в ЄС може бути досить корисним для України. У результаті проведення дослідження визначено, що Європейські митні лабораторії є важливим інструментом для митних та податкових органів, тому що їхня робота має вирішальне значення для традиційних галузей митної, акцизної та сільськогосподарської політики, таких як аналіз з метою визначення тарифної класифікації, ставки мита та інших податків. Також митні лабораторії ЄС відіграють важливу роль в інших видах діяльності, зокрема операції щодо боротьби із шахрайством, визначення автентичності та походження продуктів, виявлення нелегального імпорту як наркотичних речовин та прекурсорів, захист споживачів від небезпечних вантажів або забруднюючих продуктів, захист навколишнього середовища та видів, що перебувають під загрозою зникнення. Встановлено, що в рамках загальної мети підтримки функціонування та модернізації Європейського митного союзу митні лабораторії працюють одночасно для координації своєї діяльності та обміну досвідом. Для цього використовуються налагоджені зв’язки (в межах Європейського Союзу та у всьому світі), порівняльний аналіз, оцінка результатів, оновлення баз даних, співпраця з іншими зацікавленими сторонами та інформаційні ініціативи. При цьому CLEN постійно працює над розробкою нових методів роботи та способів співпраці, а також впровадження останніх досягнень у галузі технологій у роботу як самих митних лабораторій ЄС, так і на кордоні через удосконалення мобільних лабораторій та портативних пристроїв.
Об’єктивізація основних загроз процесу організації міжнародних пасажирських перевезень на авіатранспорті
Authors: Фрадинський О. А.
Published: December 2019

У статті досліджено поняття загрози в контексті організації пасажирських авіаційних перевезень. З’ясовано, що механізм оцінки та зниження рівня загроз передбачає аналіз, усунення або зниження ризику до допустимого рівня. Основними загрозами, що є похідними від роботи авіаційного транспорту, є проблеми міжнародного тероризму, нелегальної міграції та транснаціональної злочинності. Формами прояву є диверсії, вибухи, захоплення та угони літаків, кримінальна міграція, торгівля людьми, корупція, наркотрафік, контрабанда, порушення митних правил, які справляють суттєвий вплив на політичну, економічну, соціальну, безпекову ситуацію в державі, а тому вимагають уваги як з боку органів державної влади, так і представників громадянського суспільства.
Митний контроль пасажирських переміщень через авіаційні пункти пропуску: формування організаційно-розпорядчих основ механізму аналізу ризиків
Authors: Брендак А. І.
Published: December 2019

У статті обґрунтовано необхідність внесення змін (доповнень) до чинного законодавства у сфері регулювання надання попередньої інформації про пасажирів, які перетинають кордон у авіаційних пунктах пропуску для приведення у відповідність до міжнародних стандартів. З цією метою проведено порівняльний аналіз з міжнародними рекомендаціями. Обґрунтовано необхідність здійснення таргетингу як такого способу аналізу та оцінки ризиків, який дозволяє оптимально поєднувати автоматизований та неавтоматизований аналіз ризиків та приймати за результатами їхньої оцінки обґрунтовані рішення щодо необхідності посилення митного контролю. Визначено, що для забезпечення застосування уніфікованих підходів до аналізу та оцінки ризиків щодо пасажирів в аеропортах необхідним є визначення єдиного координаційного центру. Зазначено, що визначення чітких організаційно-розпорядчих засад використання відповідної інформації контролюючими відомствами на кордоні стане актуальним після внесення відповідних змін до нормативно-правових актів, направлених на забезпечення функціонування системи попереднього інформування про пасажирів, які перетинають кордон у повітряних пунктах пропуску.
Міжнародна антикорупційна практика митних адміністрацій
Authors: Дорофеєва Л. М.
Published: December 2019

У статті досліджено актуальні питання протидії проявам корупції в середовищі митних службовців. Проаналізовано міжнародні джерела та вітчизняне нормативноправове забезпечення антикорупційної політики митних адміністрацій. Автором акцентовано увагу на тому, що у зв’язку із обранням Україною курсу на євроінтеграцію, наша країна прийняла на себе цілком об’єктивні зобов’язання в цій сфері. Зокрема, в Угоді про асоціацію між Україною та ЄС до основних принципів для посилення відносин між Сторонами поряд з верховенством права та належним урядуванням віднесено боротьбу з корупцією. Відтак, серед проблем, у вирішенні яких відбувається співробітництво, поряд з незаконним переміщенням через кордон нелегальних мігрантів, торгівлею людьми і вогнепальною зброєю, незаконним обігом наркотиків та контрабандою розглядається корупція як у приватному, так і в державному секторі. Наголошується, що саме явище корупції та проблеми боротьби з нею носять транснаціональний характер, а це вимагає об’єднання зусиль не лише численних національних спеціалізованих організацій, а й глобальних міжнародних інституцій, які проводять відповідну роботу в цій сфері. І хоча боротьба з корупцією в кожній країні ведеться через національні механізми кримінально-правового впливу, міжнародні інституції формують загальні стандарти протидії цьому явищу, надають рекомендації правового, економічного, організаційного характеру та сприяють реалізації міжнародної співпраці у цій сфері.
Captive husbandry and breeding of the reticulated glass frog, Hyalinobatrachium valerioi (Anura: Centrolenidae)
Authors: Redbond Jay
Published: December 2019

The reticulated glass frog (Hyalinobatrachium valerioi) from Central and South America is a species that has been widely collected from the wild for the pet trade. An ex situ population of this frog was recently established at Slimbridge Wetland Centre, UK, in the hope of learning more about the husbandry and biology of this species. We report on the captive husbandry of adults and the successful breeding and rearing of larvae to metamorphosis. Clutch size was 28 eggs. The eggs hatched at 15-18 days after laying and tadpoles reached a total length of 34 mm. The first individuals started metamorphosis 147 days after hatching at water temperatures of 22-28 °C. Hyalinobatrachium valerioi is still being collected from the wild for the international pet trade and to our knowledge this is the first documented breeding of this species in the UK. The husbandry methods described here could be used to breed this and other Hyalinobatrachium species in captivity and so reduce collecting from wild populations.

İngiliz Sözleşme Hukuku Uyarınca Tazminat Sorumluluğunun Sınırlandırılmasında Öngörülebilirlik İlkesi
Authors: Helvacı Serap , Durgun Arslan Çisil
Published: December 2019

Sözleşmenin ihlâli sonucunda alacaklı açısından meydana gelen tazminat sorumluluğunun kapsamı farklı ilkeler çerçevesinde sınırlandırılmaya çalışılmaktadır. Zira tazminat sorumluluğunun kapsamının sınırlandırılmaması, bazı durumlarda aşırı ve adil olmayan sonuçlara sebebiyet verebilecek niteliktedir. Tazminat sorumluluğunun kapsam bakımından sınırlandırılmasında muhtelif ilkelere yer veren İngiliz hukukunda, borçlunun sözleşmesel sorumluluğunun asli sınırını öngörülebilirlik ilkesi (the rule of remoteness) çizmektedir. İngiliz içtihat hukukunun gelişiminde büyük katkı sağladığı öngörülebilirlik ilkesi çerçevesinde yer alan temel prensipler, esas itibariyle Hadley v Baxendale13 kararı ile belirlenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda, ilk olarak hayatın olağan akışı içerisinde yaşam deneyimi olan borçlunun sözleşmenin kurulduğu sırada bildiği ya da bilmesi gereken bilgiler esas alınarak, meydana gelen ihlâlin borçlu açısından öngörülebilir olup olmadığı tespit edilmeye çalışılacaktır. İkinci olarak ise, sözleşenler tarafından sözleşmenin kurulduğu sırada özel olarak göz önünde bulundurulan ihtimaller değerlendirilecek ve bu kapsamda meydana gelen ihlâlin borçlu açısından öngörülebilir olup olmadığı dikkate alınacaktır. Sonuç olarak İngiliz hukukunda borçlu, ihlâlinin sonucunda ortaya çıkacağını bu iki aşama doğrultusunda öngöremediği zararlardan ötürü alacaklısına karşı sorumlu tutulamayacaktır. Ne var ki söz konusu iki aşamalı testin her durumda uygulanması, somut olay adaletinin sağlanması bakımından yeterli kabul edilmediği için; konu, mahkeme kararları çerçevesinde İngiliz hukukunda halen gelişim ve değişim göstermeye devam etmektedir.

Authors: Özel Sibel
Published: December 2019

Uluslararası ticari meselelerde arabuluculuk bir alternatif uyuşmazlık çözüm yöntemi olarak uygulanmaktadır. Ancak tahkim kadar sıklıkla tercih edilmemektedir; zira hakem kararları bütün dünyada New York Konvansiyonu’na göre kolayca icra edilebilmekte iken arabuluculuk sonucu yapılan sulh anlaşmaları salt maddi hukuk sözleşmesi olarak nitelendirilmektedir. Bu yüzden sınır-ötesi ticari uyuşmazlıklarla ilgili arabuluculuk sonucu varılan sulh anlaşmalarının icrasını mümkün kılan bir uluslararası düzenleme yapılması gerektiği savunulmuş, böylelikle arabuluculuğun kullanımının gelişeceği ileri sürülmüştür. Sonuç olarak Uluslararası Ticaret Hukuku ile ilgili Birleşmiş Milletler Komisyonu (UNCITRAL) Arabuluculuk Sonucunda Yapılan Milletlerarası Sulh Anlaşmaları Hakkında Singapur Konvansiyonunu hazırlamıştır. Bu makale Singapur Konvansiyonu’na göre sulh anlaşmalarının icrasını irdelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Cerebrovascular Dynamics During Continuous Motor Task
Authors: Müller M. , Österreich M.
Published: December 2019

We investigated the cerebral autoregulation (CA) dynamics parameter phase and gain change when exposed to a longlasting motor task. 25 healthy subjects (mean age ± SE, 38±2.6 years, 13 females) underwent simultaneous recordings of spontaneous fluctuations in blood pressure (BP), cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV), and end-tidal CO2 (ETCO2) over 5 min of rest followed by 5 min of left elbow flexion at a frequency of 1 Hz. Tansfer function gain and phase between BP and CBFV were assessed in the frequency ranges of very low frequencies (VLF, 0.02-0.07 Hz), low frequencies (LF, 0.07-0.15), and high frequencies (HF, >0.15). CBFV increased on both sides rapidly to maintain an elevated steady state until movement stopped. Cerebrovascular resistance fell on the right side (rest 1.35±0.06, movement 1.28±0.06, p<0.01), LF gain decreased from baseline (right side 0.97±0.07 %/mm Hg, left 1.01±0.09) to movement epoch (right 0.73±0.08, left 0.76±0.06, p≤0.01). VLF phase decreased from baseline (right 1.03±0.05 radians, left 1.10±0.06) to the movement epoch (right 0.81±0.07, left 0.82±0.10, p≤0.05). CA regulates continuous motor efforts by changes in resistance, gain and phase.

In many African countries, such as Madagascar, a large part of the population is currently estimated to be undernourished, and self-subsistence agriculture represents the primary source of food available for the family. Smallholder farmers cultivate crops with limited agricultural input and use old landraces or obsolete hybrid varieties, with a total country-wide production that is far from being able to sustain the national food demand. In this study, we have developed two maize composite cross populations (CCPs) of different kernel colors, through a selection process among 30 half-sib lines, chosen both for their agronomic performance and their environmental adaptability to a Malagasy farm context. The best half-sib lines, identified through field tests, were clustered as a parental group for open-pollinated crosses. The new CCP created, after two years of seed multiplication in an open field, showed promising yields compared with the hybrids, parental varieties, and local landraces, with average values of 2.7 t/ha for the white CCP and 3.5 t/ha for the yellow one. The seeds produced were then distributed among 15 local farmers to begin a participatory breeding program. Our approach represents an innovative step to improve and stabilize maize yields, employing populations adapted to the cultivation environment and able to cope with different stresses, thereby helping farmers’ life conditions.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of different levels of lovastatin on the histological and sarcoplasmic proteome profile of goat skeletal muscle. A total of 20 intact male Saanen goats were randomly assigned in equal numbers to four groups and fed a total mixed ration containing 50% rice straw, 22.8% concentrates and 27.2% of various proportions of untreated or treated palm kernel cake (PKC) to achieve the target daily intake levels of 0 (Control), 2 (Low), 4 (Medium) or 6 (High) mg lovastatin/kg BW. A histological examination discovered that the longissimus thoracis et lumborum muscle of animals from the Medium and High treatment groups showed abnormalities in terms of necrosis, degeneration, interstitial space and vacuolization. Our preliminary label-free proteomics analysis demonstrates that lovastatin supplementation induced complex modifications to the protein expression patterns of the skeletal muscle of the goat which were associated with the metabolism of carbohydrate and creatine, cell growth and development processes and other metabolic processes. The changes in these biochemical processes indicate perturbations in energy metabolism, which could play a major role in the development of myopathy. In conclusion, the present study suggests that supplementation of naturally produced lovastatin above 4 mg/kg BW could adversely affecting the health and wellbeing of treated animals.

T-2 toxin, the most toxic member of trichothecene mycotoxin, is widely distributed in cereals, and has been extensively studied, but few studies focus on the toxicity of maternal exposure to offspring. This study focused on the effects of maternal exposure to T-2 toxin (during gestation and lactation) on the testicular development of mice offspring. Dams were orally administered with T-2 toxin at 0, 0.005, or 0.05 mg/kg body weight from the late stage of gestation to the end of lactation. Testicular samples of the mice offspring were collected on the postnatal day 21, 28, and 56. The results showed significant decreases in body weight and testicular weight on the postnatal day 28. Moreover, significant inhibition of antioxidant system and testosterone synthesis was detected on the postnatal day 28. Furthermore, there were significant decreases in the gene expression levels of StAR and 3β-HSD, which are involved in testosterone synthesis. In general, present results demonstrated that maternal exposure to T-2 toxin during gestation and lactation led to bad effects on the capacity of antioxidant system and inhibited testosterone synthesis in testes during pre-puberty with no significant effects on post-puberty.

Published: December 2019

Peroxiredoxins (PRDXs) are antioxidant enzymes that protect cells from oxidative stress and play a role in reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated signaling. We reported that PRDXs are critical for human fertility by maintaining sperm viability and regulating ROS levels during capacitation. Moreover, studies on Prdx6−/− mice revealed the essential role of PRDX6 in the viability, motility, and fertility competence of spermatozoa. Although PRDXs are abundant in the testis and spermatozoa, their potential role at different phases of spermatogenesis and in perinatal germ cells is unknown. Here, we examined the expression and role of PRDXs in isolated rat neonatal gonocytes, the precursors of spermatogonia, including spermatogonial stem cells. Gene array, qPCR analyses showed that PRDX1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 transcripts are among the most abundant antioxidant genes in postnatal day (PND) 3 gonocytes, while immunofluorescence confirmed the expression of PRDX1, 2, and 6 proteins. The role of PRDXs in gonocyte viability was examined using PRDX inhibitors, revealing that the 2-Cys PRDXs and PRDX6 peroxidases activities are critical for gonocytes viability in basal condition, likely preventing an excessive accumulation of endogenous ROS in the cells. In contrast to its crucial role in spermatozoa, PRDX6 independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2) activity was not critical in gonocytes in basal conditions. However, under conditions of H2O2-induced oxidative stress, all these enzymatic activities were critical to maintain gonocyte viability. The inhibition of PRDXs promoted a two-fold increase in lipid peroxidation and prevented gonocyte differentiation. These results suggest that ROS are produced in neonatal gonocytes, where they are maintained by PRDXs at levels that are non-toxic and permissive for cell differentiation. These findings show that PRDXs play a major role in the antioxidant machinery of gonocytes, to maintain cell viability and allow for differentiation.
Seismic Response Analysis of Multi-Story Steel Frames Using BRB and SCB Hybrid Bracing System
Authors: Chen Rong , Qiu Canxing , Hao Dongxue
Published: December 2019

Multi-story steel frames are popular building structures. For those with insufficient seismic resistance, their seismic capacity can be improved by installing buckling-restrained braces (BRBs), which is known for high energy dissipation capacity, and the corresponding frame is denoted as BRB frame (BRBF). However, BRBFs are frequently criticized because of excessive residual deformations after earthquakes, which impede the post-event repairing work and immediate occupancy. Meanwhile, self-centering braces (SCBs), which were invented with a particular purpose of eliminating residual deformation for the protected structures, underwent fast development in recent years. However, the damping capability of SCBs is relatively small because their hysteresis is characterized by a flag shape. Therefore, this paper aims to combine these two different braces to form a hybrid bracing system. A total of four combinations are proposed to seek an optimal solution. The multi-story steel frames installed with BRBs, SCBs, and combined braces are numerically investigated through nonlinear static and dynamic analyses. Interested seismic response parameters refer to the maximum story drift ratios, maximum floor accelerations, and residual story drift ratios. The seismic analysis results indicate that the frames using the combined bracing system are able to take the advantages of BRBs and SCBs.

Statistical process control (SPC) is an important tool of enterprise quality management. It can scientifically distinguish the abnormal fluctuations of product quality. Therefore, intelligent and efficient SPC is of great significance to the manufacturing industry, especially in the context of industry 4.0. The intelligence of SPC is embodied in the realization of histogram pattern recognition (HPR) and control chart pattern recognition (CCPR). In view of the lack of HPR research and the complexity and low efficiency of the manual feature of control chart pattern, an intelligent SPC method based on feature learning is proposed. This method uses multilayer bidirectional long short-term memory network (Bi-LSTM) to learn the best features from the raw data, and it is universal to HPR and CCPR. Firstly, the training and test data sets are generated by Monte Carlo simulation algorithm. There are seven histogram patterns (HPs) and nine control chart patterns (CCPs). Then, the network structure parameters and training parameters are optimized to obtain the best training effect. Finally, the proposed method is compared with traditional methods and other deep learning methods. The results show that the quality of extracted features by multilayer Bi-LSTM is the highest. It has obvious advantages over other methods in recognition accuracy, despite the HPR or CCPR. In addition, the abnormal patterns of data in actual production can be effectively identified.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of soybean milk proteins with cysteine protease papain was performed in an advanced bioreactor, operated with batch mode. In soybean milk protein hydrolysis reaction, enzyme and substrate ratio and reaction temperature were varied, ranging from 0.029:100–0.457:100 and 30–60 °C, respectively. The degree of hydrolysis of soybean milk proteins was increased with increase of enzyme and substrate (soybean milk protein) ratio. However, the degree of hydrolysis was increased due to change of reaction temperature from 30 °C to 60 °C with enzyme and substrate ratio 0.229:100 and was reduced when hydrolysis reaction was performed with enzyme and substrate ratio 0.11:100 at hydrolysis temperature 60 °C. Antioxidant capacity of enzyme-treated milk had a similar trend with degree of hydrolysis. In a later exercise, a membrane bioreactor was adopted for continuous production of antioxidant and antibacterial peptides from soybean milk. The membrane bioreactor was operated for 12 h with constant feeding. Ceramic-made tubular membrane with a pore size 20 nm was used. Application of static turbulence promoter in a membrane separation process was investigated and its positive effects, with respect to higher permeate flux and lower energy consumption in filtration process, were proven. Antioxidant capacity and antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus of enzyme-hydrolyzed milk and permeate from membrane were confirmed.

When used in educational settings, simulations utilizing virtual reality (VR) technologies can reduce training costs while providing a safe and effective learning environment. Tasks can be easily modified to maximize learning objectives of different levels of trainees (e.g., novice, intermediate, expert), and can be repeated for the development of psychomotor skills. VR offers a multisensory experience, providing visual, auditory, and haptic sensations with varying levels of fidelity. While simulating visual and auditory stimuli is relatively easy and cost-effective, similar representations of haptic sensation still require further development. Evidence suggests that mixing high- and low-fidelity realistic sensations (e.g., audition and haptic) can improve the overall perception of realism, however, whether this also leads to improved performance has not been examined. The current study examined whether audiohaptic stimuli presented in a virtual drilling task can lead to improved motor performance and subjective realism, compared to auditory stimuli alone. Right-handed participants (n = 16) completed 100 drilling trials of each stimulus type. Performance measures indicated that participants overshot the target during auditory trials, and undershot the target during audiohaptic trials. Undershooting is thought to be indicative of improved performance, optimizing both time and energy requirements.
The Role of Orthotactics in Language Switching: An ERP Investigation Using Masked Language Priming

Published: December 2019

It is commonly accepted that bilinguals access lexical representations from their two languages during language comprehension, even when they operate in a single language context. Language detection mechanisms are, thus, hypothesized to operate after the stage of lexical access during visual word recognition. However, recent studies showed reduced cross-language activation when sub-lexical properties of words are specific to one of the bilingual’s two languages, hinting at the fact that language selection may start before the stage of lexical access. Here, we tested highly fluent Spanish–Basque and Spanish–English bilinguals in a masked language priming paradigm in which first language (L1) target words are primed by unconsciously perceived L1 or second language (L2) words. Critically, L2 primes were either orthotactically legal or illegal in L1. Results showed automatic language detection effects only for orthotactically marked L2 primes and within the timeframe of the N250, an index of sub-lexical-to-lexical integration. Marked L2 primes also affected the processing of L1 targets at the stage of conceptual processing, but only in bilinguals whose languages are transparent. We conclude that automatic and unconscious language detection mechanisms can operate at sub-lexical levels of processing. In the absence of sub-lexical language cues, unconsciously perceived primes in the irrelevant language might not automatically trigger post-lexical language identification, thereby resulting in the lack of observable language switching effects.
