The role of European smelt Osmerus eperlanus in fish fauna structure of the Imandra Lake Basin (Murmansk Province)
Authors: Terentjev P.M. , Kashulin N.A. , Zubova E.M.
Published: February 2022

The current trends of the fish community transformation processes in the Imandra Lake Basin (Murmansk Province) under processes of climate and hydrological regime changes, intensification of water eutrophication and pollution were studied. The continuing anthropogenic pollution load on the lake together with the uncontrolled fishery and the lack of favorable conditions for fish reproduction led to a decrease of quantity and share of long-cycle stenobiont fall-spawning salmonid and coregonid species in fish fauna structure. At the same time the amount of eurybiont spring-spawning low commercial value species, such as a European smelt Osmerus eperlanus (Linnaeus) was seriously increased. It was found that the smelt population growth is accompanied by an increase in its size and weight parameters. The highest size values of this species now are comparable to smelt of the Onega and Ladoga lakes. It was also mentioned that smelt demonstrates quite an intense self-dispersion within the Imandra Lake Basin. Smelt expands rapidly within the subordinate lake and river system of Bolshaya Imandra Lake. One of the most interesting phenomena now is a process of fish self-dispersion along the Bolshaya Belaya River. It was found that the smelt shows a very active expansion of habitat, despite of the intense impact of apatite-nepheline production and strong eutrophication of water. It is shown that European smelt have good opportunity to naturalize and form an isolated self-reproducing population in a typical mountain reservoir – Bolshoi Voodyavr Lake, influenced by intensive mining industry. The observed expansive strategy of low commercial value species could be consider as invasion of alien species, reducing resistance and resource potential of the freshwater ecosystems of the North.
Editorial

Published: February 2022

This issue of Transfers showcases the first part of a thought-provoking special section edited by Supurna Banerjee (Institute of Development Studies, Kolkata) and Eva Gerharz (Fulda University of Applied Sciences). The collection of articles uses the interrelation between aspiration and desperation as a powerful analytical framework to interrogate the relationships between mobility, immobility, migration, and sedentarization. By confronting these termpairs, they also seek to deconstruct their seemingly antinomic associations. The contributions interrogate them beyond binary opposition and bring to light new connections. The second part of the special section, which will focus on negotiating aspirations in intimate social relations, as well as the response to the project will be published in an upcoming volume of our journal.

Published: February 2022

Vibrating and oscillation systems play an important task in physics and mathematics. In this paper, we investigated the dynamical behavior of an important system called the vibrating triangle (in some literature it is called the planar system). First of all, the Lagrangian equation of the system has been constructed. Secondly, we derived the Euler- Lagrange equations (ELEs). Thirdly, we solve the obtained ELEs numerically using MATLAB for some selected parameters, and for specified initial conditions.
A regular Lie group action yield smooth sections of the tangent bundle and relatedness of vector fields, diffeomorphisms
Authors:   Rani Channamma University Karnataka, India, Badiger Chidanand , Venkatesh T ,   Rani Channamma University Karnataka, India
Published: February 2022

In this paper, we have concentrated on a group action on the tangent bundle of some smooth/differentiable manifolds which has been built from a regular Lie group action on such smooth/differentiable manifolds. Interestingly, elements of orbit space yield smooth sections of the tangent bundle having beautiful algebraic properties. Moreover, each of those smooth sections behaves nicely as a left-invariant vector field with respect to Lie group action by $G$. We have explained here a simple isomorphism between the set of such smooth sections and each tangent space of that smooth/differentiable manifold. Also we have discussed more about $F$-relatedness and have introduced vector field relatedness by notations $rel_{\mathfrak{X}(M)}(F), rel_{Diff(M)}(X)$, etc. which are sets based on both vector field related diffeomorphisms and diffeomorphism related vector fields. We have presented consequences based on the algebraic structure on $rel_{\mathfrak{X}(M)}(F), rel_{Diff(M)}(X)$, etc. sets and built some related group actions. We have placed some interrelationship between the both kinds of rel operations.
Quasi invo-clean rings
Authors:   Bulgarian Academy of Science, Sofia, Bulgaria, Danchev Peter V.
Published: February 2022

An element v of an arbitrary ring R is called aninvolution if v2= 1 and a quasi-involution if either v or 1−vis an involution. We thereby define R to be quasi invo-cleanas the one whose elements are written in the form ofa sum of an idempotent and a quasi-involution. This considerably extends the class of invo-clean rings introduced by the present author in Commun. Korean Math. Soc. (2017) and the class of weakly tripotent rings introducedby Breaz and Cˆımpean in Bull. Korean Math. Soc. (2018). We, more-over, prove the curious fact that the newly defined class of quasi invo-cleanrings actually coincides with the class of weakly invo-clean rings defined by Danchev in Afr. Mat. (2017).

Published: February 2022

Modern physical therapy is based on the idea that function governs the organ. This aspect can explain why the main activity of the hand is gripping and grasping and the main function of the foot is walking. The upper limbs use the movement in an open kinematic chain and have a very large representation at the central level, while the lower limbs work in a closed kinematic chain. We continue to face limitations in the recovery and interdisciplinary recovery of upper limb function in stroke, even though we currently have sufficient scientific evidence and therapeutic ways to stimulate healing. The research aims to identify whether a person suffering from an ischemic stroke can change the function of the affected upper limb three months after the accident by starting or continuing the recovery program until the patient leaves the acute phase.

Conclusions: The analysis of the answers received based on the questionnaire highlights the need to improve the secondary selection process in basketball.Key words: basketball, sports selection, questionnaire. 1 Transilvania University of Braşov 1. Introduction The selection or ""identification of talents"" is an organized activity, with a repetitive character, of early detection of children with special skills for practicing certain branches or sports, based on medical, biological, socio-psychological and motor criteria [1], [15], [16]. The selection process and the analysis of the young players’ potential skills has as ultimate goal their preparation for the requirements of the higher leagues and the access into these higher leagues as well as the capitalization on the basketball players’ full potential [11], [18], [19]. This process of identifying talents is a complex one because it requires defining efficient selection criteria and involving several professionals, as follows: coaches, physical trainers, doctors, kinesiologists, psychologists, etc. [13]. In general, the selection process [2] is developed in three stages: STAGE I - the initial or primary selection, which involves attracting, discovering and selecting talented children, with skills for playing basketball. STAGE II – the intermediate or secondary selection, which is considered the most important stage of the selection process because it takes place around the pre-pubertal period when the mental and biological stabilization takes place.

Tactical components brought in the game vocabulary words like placement, strategy, positive or negative transition, fluency, ball line, covered or uncovered ball, words that bring improved importance versus other components of training, obviously without underestimating their importance in football. In the football game, a player’s placement depends on tasks drawn by the coach on the offensive and defensive phases. The game result is submitted, by the weather, the field surface, superiority or inferiority of players on the field. There are some elements of success, like a play without the ball, balanced position of the field, the movement of the ball played faster towards players (who move simultaneously to take possession) continuous players’ movement on the field. That is in order to offer the player a solution for passing the ball, while the others set on the free space, doubled by movements related to the zone of the ball, pressing the opponents on the defensive phase by closing spaces and lanes, so giving a few solutions for tactical game system 1-4-3-3.

TELEWORK AND ITS MAIN DETERMINANTS. A REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Authors:   West University of Timișoara, STOICOV Ionela , ȚÎRU Laurențiu ,   West University of Timișoara
Published: February 2022

Even though home-working and teleworking are very common words used often nowadays, they do not name a new phenomenon. Working from people's homes was a common practice in the pre-industrial era, because many people worked primarily close to their homes in various craft workshops. The actual context of COVID-19 associated with contact restrictions has influenced many companies to allow their employees to work from home to reduce the possibility of infections, so it can be seen as a significant change in this perspective. Analyzing both new and old studies on the subject, it is clear that the phenomenon has evolved and its most significant changes have occurred in the last period, in addition to providing a broad perspective on this type of work. The study focuses on the effects of teleworking on productivity, attitudes toward home-based telework and traditional office work, work-life balance, hybrid work mechanisms, and environmental benefits.

CRITICAL PERSPECTIVES ON THE USE OF BRANDING MODELS IN APPROACHING PLACES
Authors:   Transilvania University of Braşov, BRICIU Victor-Alexandru , BRICIU Arabela ,   Transilvania University of Braşov
Published: February 2022

This article investigates in depth the characteristics of the interdisciplinary social theory of neo-Marxism, as a moderate response with socio-economic influences on the paradigm of postmodern brand management (defined by the theory of iconic brands and cultural branding - as a model by which brands become icons through creative interaction with their environment, on the one hand, and the anti-capitalist, anti-corporate and anti-branding movement, on the other), both included in a constructivist-interpretivist paradigmatic scheme. This type of critical approach, through reinterpretations and extensions of the ideas of social philosopher Karl Marx, replaces the marketing paradigm as a model of "social engineering" in the words of Douglas B. Holt and proposes new perspectives on the concept of consumer culture in which brands are seen as forms of intangible capital, with the main demands proposed by the anti- branding movement being highlighted, as well as the criticisms brought to “consumer culture”.

Published: February 2022

The detection of composite insulator defects in substations still relies on manual inspection. In this paper, we propose a detection method for insulator crack shape features by improving the RCNN convolution kernel. The method can meet the premise of insufficient training sample data, but also can get better CNN training effect, and finally achieve accurate crack recognition. In the training phase, the RGB three-channel decomposition method is used to expand the training data set; the median filtering method is used to remove the noise; the improved convolutional kernel is used to train the CNN; in the test phase, the images are decomposed by RGB three-channel decomposition and input to CNN to get the exact crack center coordinates and length; the NMS algorithm is used to de-weight the images to get the final crack recognition results. The example analysis shows that the method in this paper can still achieve good recognition accuracy and accurately identify the specific location of cracks under the premise of insufficient training samples.

In this paper, threshold function denoising algorithm and wavelet neural network edge detection algorithm are combined to apply to image edge detection. Firstly, an improved threshold function is constructed in this paper, compared with the traditional soft and hard threshold functions and some existing improved threshold functions, the improved threshold function is adjustable and differentiable everywhere. It approximates the soft threshold function and the image at the threshold point is smoother. It can retain more true information and have an obvious effect in image de-noising. Finally, this paper presents wavelet neural network edge detection algorithm. Selecting the modulation Gaussian function wavelet as its excitation function, which is applied to extract the edge of the image after threshold de-noising. Thus, a new edge detection algorithm is proposed, which combines threshold function de-noising algorithm and wavelet neural network edge detection algorithm. The simulation results show that the edges detected by the new algorithm are clearer, contain less noise, and the continuity and accuracy are also improved.

Rebate, as a significant method to enhance cooperation between retailers and suppliers, has been widely applied among different commercial agencies. In this paper, we studied the effect of rebate on the evolution of cooperation in spatial social dilemmas. With a rebate mechanism, cooperators will share a part of payoff to cooperative neighbors. Simulation results shows that the rebate mechanism can promote cooperation significantly. When rebate mechanism works, the low-payoff boundary cooperators could receive extra rebates from the high-payoff cooperators in cooperator cluster. This helps cooperators defend the invasion of defectors. As a result, cooperators could survive and even dominate the system. The research can provide a new insight to explore the widespread cooperative behavior in the natural world.

Support vector machine classification algorithm has been deeply studied in the field of intelligent information processing with its solid theoretical foundation and excellent classification performance, and it has been widely used in real life, such as face recognition, text classification, sentiment analysis, and spam filtering, etc. The time complexity of the classic support vector machine algorithm is proportional to the square of the data size, and this poses a serious challenge to the calculability, effectiveness and efficiency of the support vector machine algorithm for massive data. In this paper, a large-scale support vector machine classification algorithm based on the granulation mechanism is proposed from the granulation and fusion of data information. A data granulation mechanism is firstly constructed using binary tree and classification label information, as well as the core sample set is obtained by combining with instance selection method, and then the core sample set and the remaining samples construct multiple weak support vector classifiers; finally draw on the idea of granularity fusion to generate a strong classifier. The experimental results on the standard data set verify the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm, and it provides new research ideas and processing methods for processing massive data.

The classification and identification of rock samples is an important part of geological analysis. In order to reduce the cost of identification and prevent human subjective judgment from affecting the classification results, the use of deep learning to establish intelligent classification is a new way. Based on the deep convolutional neural network model of the AlexNet network structure, a deep learning migration model for rock image set analysis is established, and the automatic recognition and classification of rock lithology is realized by using the migration learning method. The traditional method of artificial image recognition of rock samples has big drawbacks. Based on the deep learning method, this paper establishes an image recognition model suitable for cuttings and core samples using industrial cameras at the logging site. Due to the small number of samples, the data is enhanced first. Then, feature extraction is performed on the rock image data based on a network structure such as a convolutional neural network. Finally, compare and analyze the experimental results of each model, and obtain the best model data for automatic identification of rock lithology. Thereby reducing the cost of rock image recognition and improving the efficiency of geological work.

The distribution network (DN) is characterized by wide coverage and highly scattered data distribution. To improve the business process and data calculation capability for DN management, a foundational computing technology, the wide-area distributed sinking calculation technology (W-A DSCT), is proposed based on the application of big data, artificial intelligence, block chain and other technologies. It is applicable to the OCMS (operation, control and maintenance) of distribution networks. The technology adopts the concept of “moving computation, not moving to data” to realize fast processing of business applications. The algorithm and business logic are designed at the primary node level, and the algorithm compilation and data crawling and mining are performed at the sub-node level to realize the fast business response. This paper introduces the technical implementation methods and technologies of each link, and performs a comparative analysis for typical business scenarios between the sinking calculation scheme and the original framework calculation. It is verified that applying the sinking calculation scheme can significantly enhance the rapid processing ability and computational efficiency.
