Development of the Legal Regulation of Punishment in the Form of Fine According to the Criminal Code of Ukraine of 2001
Authors: Gornostay Alesia
Published: December 2022

This topic is relevant because in practice the application of such punishment as a fine is very common, and it has many problematic aspects of the purpose. The purpose of the article is the genesis of the criminal law regulation of punishment in the form of a fine in the current Criminal Code of Ukraine and the analysis of the changes that have taken place over the past 20 years. To achieve this goal, the author used dialectical, historical and comparative methods. These methods helped to investigate the processes of formation and development of the institution of the fine in the Criminal Code of Ukraine of 2001. In the article, the author analyzes the norms of the criminal legislation of Ukraine, which regulate the concept of a fine and the order of its calculation, the maximum and minimum size of the fine. The author emphasizes that the prevalence of the fine in legislation and judicial practice, the methods of its calculation, its size, the grounds and conditions of its application are not constant and are conditioned by socio-economic, political, criminological and legal factors of specific historical periods. This is especially relevant for Ukraine. Current criminal law establishes a fine as the mildest type of punishment among other types of punishment, but this is a controversial provision. The author emphasizes that the legislator hopes for a fine as an effective form of punishment for persons who have committed certain criminal offenses, primarily corruption and against property. At the same time, it was emphasized that regular changes in the rules on fines, especially regarding the size of this type of punishment, are not without significant drawbacks. In this work, they are outlined. Certain positions regarding their elimination have been expressed.  Possible options for reforming regulatory provisions are proposed.

The Legitimacy of Maqāsid Shariah on the Islamic Turath in the Tradition of Reading Yasin Fadhilah at Pesantren Al-Anwar-3
Authors: Mubarok Abdullah , Ja'far Ali
Published: December 2022

Turath is the product of Muslim thoughts from generation to generation, and the Turath should be legitimized. The legitimacy of truth is crucial to confirm the validity of the tradition. Since its source is other than the Qur'an and hadith, Turath is still debatable. Turath criticism is part of the attitude that must be done for the legitimacy of Turath. This practice has the potential to be non-Islamic. Among the Turath practices that need to be legitimized by legal arguments is the method of reading Yasin Fadhilah at the Al-Anwar III Islamic Boarding School. This study of the legitimacy of Yasin Fadhilah's practice uses the views of Ibn 'Ashur with his maqasid shari'ah theory. Research from the maqasid shari'ah perspective will accomplish the view of making law from all sides. Yasin Fadhilah is a tradition of praying with the intermediary of a Yasin chapter carried out based on orders from a teacher from the ahlul-bait of the Prophet Muhammad. From the perspective of Maqasid Shari'ah, the practice of reading the chapter is legal in Islamic law, even though it is included in the Tahsiniyyāt category.
Compilation of Islamic Law on Underage Marriage in Javanese Ethnic Communities in Lingga Bayu Mandailing Natal
Authors: Habibi Aswar
Published: December 2022

This study aims to analyze the habits of underage marriage in Lingga Bayu Mandailing Natal, especially those carried out by the Javanese ethnic community. This study explores the rights and obligations according to the compilation of Islamic law, which looks at how consistent the perpetrators of underage marriages are in fulfilling their rights and responsibilities in the household. This research is field research with research subjects, namely the perpetrators of underage marriages who are Javanese in the Lingga Bayu District. Data collection techniques used are observation, interviews, and documentation. From this, the results of this study indicate that the perpetrators of underage marriages are closely related to their rights and obligations, which are closely tied to the compilation of Islamic law. The marriages below are generally accepted and understood by Muslims who are 'experts' of Islamic law and are educated but not by the general public. As a follow-up, in reaching this understanding, the perpetrators of underage marriages need to understand the rights and obligations of husband and wife, especially regarding the leadership or control of the household in the hands of the husband. Meanwhile, a wife should obey her husband as long as it is within limits justified by religion.
Time history analysis of seismic response of through CFST non isolated and isolated arch bridges
Authors: Gao Zhonghu , Sun Weigang
Published: December 2022

To explore the difference in the impact of transverse bracing on the seismic effect of through concrete-filled steel tube arch bridges with non-isolated and earthquake-isolated, nine non-isolated and earthquake-isolated structural models under different cross-bracing arrangements were established, and Elcentro seismic waves were selected. The internal force, displacement, velocity, absolute acceleration, relative acceleration, and separation of arch ribs of each model were compared and analyzed under uniform excitation along the bridge, transverse and vertical directions, multi-dimensional combined excitation, and multipoint excitation considering the traveling wave effect. Based on the shear force and displacement of the earthquake support, it is concluded that the internal force response of different excitations of various models is more complicated. The installation of transverse bracing on the upper part of the arch rib can reduce the vertical displacement of the arch rib of the nonseismic structure. The “X”-shaped cross brace at the top of the arch rib and the “K”-shaped cross brace at the lower part help to reduce the transverse acceleration of the arch rib. The absolute acceleration and relative acceleration of the seismic structure arch ribs are significantly reduced.
Analytical method of reservoir capacity of underground reservoir in coal mine: a case study
Authors: Fan Kai-fang , Xie Peng , Liu Zi-chang
Published: December 2022

Modern mining within ecologically fragile areas is under enormous pressure from the ecological and geological environment. Using abandoned coal mines as underground water reservoirs is an effective idea for reducing eco-geological risks in mining districts. Accurate estimation of reservoir capacity is conducive to guiding the construction of an underground water reservoir. In this paper, estimation models of underground water storage capacity were established, which were divided into two kinds: horizontal mining district and inclined mining district. Furthermore, the minimum porosity of broken rock mass was analyzed based on laboratory experiments, and the fitted equation of minimum porosity was developed. A modern coal mine in northwest China was taken as an example, and the feasibility of the proposed model was verified by in-situ measurement. Finally, the effects of porosity of broken rock mass, water storage height and coal seam dip angle on water storage capacity were presented. The coal seam dip angle should be the principal consideration in choosing the site of an underground water reservoir.
Investigation of cellular structure and metabolic activity of Microcystis cells treated by chlorination
Authors: Song Weijun , Qiu Donghua , Xie Yu , Li Xi
Published: December 2022

Frequent outbreaks of cyanobacterial blooms in lakes and reservoirs can result in the deterioration of drinking water quality. Chlorine has been used as an oxidant or algicide to treat cyanobacteria-laden source waters, but influences of chlorination on the cellular structure and metabolic activity of cyanobacterial cells were not well understood. In this study, after chlorination with various initial dosages (0.5–8.0 mg L−1), the cellular size, cellular surface, and cellular structure of Microcystis cells were investigated, and both photosynthetic and respiratory activity of Microcystis cells were also analyzed. Results showed that chlorination of 1–8 mg L−1 could effectively decrease the metabolic activity of Microcystis cells and their cellular structures were severely destroyed (e.g., cell wall, cell membrane, and photosynthetic lamellar). Meanwhile, Microcystis aggregates induced an increase of their particle size distribution of 10–100 μm (1.2–1.9%) in these treatments. In contrast, low-level chlorination of 0.5 mg L−1 did not change the particle size distribution of 2–10 μm along with a slight destruction of cellular structures. Interestingly, this treatment could induce an increase of photosynthetic activity of Microcystis cells (19.0%), implying that insufficient chlorination may not be a proper algicide to control cyanobacterial blooms in lakes or reservoirs.

Authors: Luo Dang , Li Liangshuai
Published: December 2022

Drought is one of the major natural disasters in the world, and it is important to understand and grasp the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of drought for drought monitoring and prevention. In this study, the standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) was calculated based on monthly precipitation and average temperature data from 15 meteorological stations in Henan Province, China during the period 1987–2020. The spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of droughts in Henan Province were analyzed using run theory and Moran's I, and drought prediction was carried out using grey disaster theory. The results show that: (1) During the period 1987–2020, the overall drought in Henan Province shows a slow intensification trend, and SPEI-12 has a certain adaptability in the drought characterization of Henan Province; (2) The frequency of droughts in the northern and eastern regions of Henan Province is high, the southern region is prone to continuous drought, the drought ephemeris and intensity show a strong positive correlation, and the spatial spillover effect of autumn drought is the most obvious; (3) The grey disaster prediction model has excellent accuracy and predicts that the next possible drought in Henan Province will be in the east of Henan Province in the spring of 2023.

O artigo descreve uma trajetória de pesquisa sociológica no campo do Direito, destacando as experiências vividas, os desafios enfrentados e o aprendizado adquirido nesse percurso. O método utilizado para a elaboração desse texto foi o da autoetnografia de memórias, respaldada por arquivos, relatórios e bancos de dados de cada pesquisa realizada no período de lembranças, de 2000 a 2021, cerca de duas décadas de percurso acadêmico. Esse inventário de experiências de pesquisas tem como temas a justiça criminal, os direitos humanos e o crime. Ao analisar essa trajetória, posso dizer que sou resultado das condições de possibilidade que foram apresentadas nos campos onde transitei e pelas tantas referências que me deparei e que me inspiraram a estudar esses temas. Vinteanos de pesquisa na área da segurança pública e justiça criminal sinalizam que continuamos com o mesmo sistema de “moer gente”, aprisionando “suspeitos”, tolerando o extermínio policial, fingindo que temos uma justiça baseada no Estado Democrático de Direito. Apesar disso, é preciso continuar nossas pesquisas, para que um dia esse sistema seja finalmente rompido.

As groundwater is used as a source of drinking water, monitoring its quality is essential due to possible adverse effects on human health. Nitrogen compounds (nitrates, nitrites, ammonia) within certain concentration limits are natural components of the nitrogen cycle. Due to anthropogenic activities, high concentrations of nitrogen compounds are released into groundwater. The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemistry of groundwater in a suburban area in northeastern Romania, the sources of pollution with nitrogen compounds (nitrates, nitrites, ammonium), and the non-carcinogenic risk to human health associated with consumption in different groups age (women, men, and children) in the investigated region. The results showed that the concentration of nitrogen compounds varies from 5.12 to 98.3 mg/L for nitrates, from 0.008 to 85.2 mg/L for ammonium, and from 0.001 to 1.12 mg/L for nitrites. The maximum admissible concentrations have been exceeding 25%, 40% and respectively 10% of the total analyzed samples Bivariate graphs and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) were used to identify potential sources of nitrate, nitrites, and ammonium pollution of groundwater in the study area. The non-carcinogenic risk assessment for water consumption showed a hazard index (HItotal) for nitrogen compounds in groundwater in the investigated region, which ranged from 0.037 to 2.856 for men, between 0.054 and 3.427 for women, respectively between 0.080 and 6.145, for children. Spatial distribution maps using the Inverse Distance Weighting technique presented the geographical areas with the probability of groundwater contamination with nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium and the areas that pose a risk to human health by consuming groundwater in the study area for the three groups: men, women and children.
Ultrasonication for removal of organic micropollutants from water
Authors:   National Research and Development Institute for Industrial Ecology, Stefanescu Mihai
Published: December 2022

This review collects the most theoretical and experimental data about the fundaments of ultrasonic cavitation and its application in the domain of water and drinking water treatment. It is describing the most important mechanism of acoustic cavitation based on "Hot spot theory" which is based on free radicals, especially hydroxyl radicals. The experimental examples are focused on organic micropollutants removal from wastewater and drinking water. There are many organic pollutants resistant to classical treatment flows in wastewater and drinking water treatment plants which means there must be updated with new technologies like Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOPs). Ultrasonication and advanced ultrasonication is one of these new approaches. Ultrasonication was the base of a new chemistry domain - sonochemistry and its development led to new and modern degradation methods of natural and industrial organic pollutants: natural organic matter, phenols, organochlorinated compounds, surfactants, etc. with high mineralization degree. Some examples are described below.

The terms mechano-chemistry and mechanical activation of solid materials were introduced in chemical literature by Ostwald at the beginning of the XX century. Both terms cover a whole range of interconnected phenomena taking place during the mechanical action on solids or their separate parts participating in chemical reactions, phase transitions, mixing and creating composite materials, alloying and crystal growth in the solid state, deformation and changing physical and thermal properties, all of them at low temperature. The common effects of the mechanical activation on solid material are fracturing and reduction of particle sizes, generation of new reactive surfaces, diffusion of atoms of the reactant phase through the product phase, and quite significantly, accumulating energy in crystalline or amorphous structure (enough twists in atomic and molecular networks, tensions in atomic bond and active sites to trigger the nucleation of new phases). Mechanical activation is very used to produce all clean alumina mineralogical phases with uniform particle size dimensions from nano to macro size. Also, mechanical activation may extend the specific surface of some minerals, enhancing the yields in the solid-liquid extraction process. With adequate precursors, all phase transitions from amorphous to alfa α-Al2O3 can be carried out on the same route as in thermally activated alumina, but some other routes, impossible by thermal activation, might be followed. The difference between the two activation ways is that mechanical activation is made at room temperature.

Dimethyl phthalate is low molecular weight phthalate used on a wide scale within industry for manufacture of plastics, solvents, adhesives, lubricants, coatings and due to its poor biodegradability is not removed by classic wastewater treatment processes. It was proved that it affects the endocrine system, presenting carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic effects on upon living organisms. Therefore, there is a need for more advanced treatment methods such as advanced oxidation processes for dimethyl phthalate removal from aqueous systems. A hybrid process consisting from photo catalysis and membrane based processes was investigated and the optimum parameters for dimethyl phthalate removal were established. In respect to photocatalytic process the influence of photo catalyst dose, pH, irradiation time were studied and process kinetics were set up using a synthetic dimethyl phthalate solution. In order to recover and reuse the photocatalyst a membrane process was used and optimum working pressure was determined. In the case of real wastewater matrix the addition of hydrogen peroxide was needed, in the photocatalytic stage, in order to improve process efficiency. Four treatment cycles, using real wastewater spiked with dimethyl phthalate, were performed with the reuse of photo catalyst proving that the use of photocatalytic membrane reactor with suspended photo catalyst represents a promising method for phthalates removal from aqueous systems.

Published: December 2022

In the current context of the transition to a circular economy, efforts are primarily focused on recycling, the reintegration of some wastes into the economy, as a secondary raw material. The recovery of wastes specific to the mining industry and the metallurgical industry, which through the quantities deposited and through the chemical composition put a great pressure on the environment, represents a major concern of the society. Starting from this aspect, the paper presents the results of the research carried out in order to obtain new building materials (mortars) by adding two mineral wastes - red sludge from the manufacture of alumina and mine tailings - in the basic raw material, cement. The performances of the new materials containing the two wastes prove the viability of the technical solutions so that they can be used in the field of construction, both as masonry mortars and as plastering mortars.
THE DIAGRAMS OF SHIPS ICE PROPULSIVE QUALITY
Authors: Kanevskii Grigorii I. , Klubnichkin Alexandr M. , Sazonov Kirill E.
Published: December 2022

The diagrams of ships ice propulsive quality allowing to determine all relevant parameters (power consumption, propeller RPM, movement speed and propulsion thrust) are described in the paper. These diagrams can be used to calculate above-mentioned ice propulsive quality parameters for the scenarios of high loads on propulsion system at low advance coefficients, like ice navigation and towing operations. It is pointed out that previously this calculation was impossible because of wake fractions tend to “minus infinity”. To overcome this challenge, an alternative (mooring) system of interaction coefficients briefly presented in this paper and enabling all required calculations, is developed and applied. The results of these calculations are presented in the form of ice propulsive quality diagrams that clearly and conveniently display the entire volume of the calculation data. It has been shown that ice propulsive quality diagrams can be easily added with the environmental data for usability. In the diagram given in this paper, the environmental parameter is the thickness of ice that the ship has to overcome. The possible practical applications for these diagrams, for instance ice resistance assessment during full-scale trials, are discussed in the paper. It is highlighted that the data contained in the ice propulsive quality diagrams are approximate. The possibility of using other environmental parameters is also discussed in the paper.

Authors: Güizado-Rodríguez Martha Anahí , Woolrich-Piña Guillermo A.
Published: December 2022

La herpetofauna es particularmente significativa para México, ya que a escala mundial ocupa el segundo lugar en diversidad de reptiles y el quinto lugar en diversidad de anfibios. En este contexto, el estado de Puebla ubicado en la región centro-sur de México, es de especial interés por ser uno de los estados con mayor diversidad herpetofaunística. En este trabajo se presenta un análisis bibliométrico de los estudios realizados en el campo de la herpetología en Puebla. A través de una búsqueda en bases de datos de artículos científicos, libros, capítulos de libros y tesis entre 1869 y 2020, se identificaron 187 trabajos relacionados con herpetofauna. Los temas con más representación fueron la ecología, distribución geográfica e inventarios herpetofaunísticos, mientras que los estudios relacionados con los efectos del cambio climático y la conservación estuvieron poco representados. Los reptiles fueron los más estudiados (53.5 %) con respecto a los anfibios (22.5 %), el restante 24 % corresponde a estudios que incluyeron ambos grupos taxonómicos. En el grupo de los reptiles, las lagartijas han sido objeto de un mayor número de estudios (66 %), seguidas de las serpientes (27 %), tortugas (3 %), cocodrilos (1 %) y de trabajos que incluyeron todos los grupos de reptiles (3 %). En el caso de los anfibios, los anuros han sido los más estudiados (59.6 %) con respecto a los caudados (35.7 %), mientras que sólo un 4.7 % de los estudios han abarcados ambos grupos. Se observa un desarrollo considerable en el estudio de los anfibios y reptiles en Puebla durante las últimas dos décadas. Sin embargo, es necesario focalizar la atención en los tópicos relacionados con la conservación y el cambio climático, los cuáles permitirán implementar estrategias de conservación efectivas orientadas a las especies más vulnerables.
Textual classifier method applied for medical texts: transfer learning of ResNet on images converted from textual data (Preprint)
Authors: Zhang Hongjian , Ogasawara Katsuhiko
Published: December 2022

BACKGROUND

In medical text processing, the classification methods with high interpretability are primarily dictionary- or rule-based methods, requiring a lot of labor cost in maintenance. However, in recent years, methods of image classification with higher accuracy than that of humans, have been developed.

OBJECTIVE

This research attempts to apply the transfer learning of image classification methods to text classification by converting medical text into images for better performance.

METHODS

This method applies the word embedding method to processed text for feature extraction and then segments it to generate a grayscale image. Then pretrained deep learning method for transfer learning was applied to the grayscale image, and the accuracy of the image classifier was validated by comparing it with that of the deep network transfer learning.

RESULTS

The transfer learning using pretrained ResNet displayed better validation accuracy. The validation accuracies of ResNet-18, -34, and -50 were 85.7%, 93.0%, and 98.9%, respectively; whereas the accuracy of naïve Bayes was 92.4%, and the pretrained model converged faster than the non-pretrained model.

CONCLUSIONS

The feasibility of applying the deep learning method of image processing was demonstrated by converting the text format to the image format.
Pre-existing neutralizing antibodies against different adeno-associated virus serotypes in humans and large animal models for gene therapy (Preprint)
Authors: Ail Divya , Dalkara Deniz
Published: December 2022

UNSTRUCTURED

Gene therapy is a potential cure for several inherited retinal dystrophies and adeno-associated virus (AAV) has emerged as a vector of choice for therapeutic gene delivery to the retina. However, prior exposure to AAVs can cause a humoral immune response resulting in the presence of antibodies in the serum, which can subsequently interfere with the AAV-mediated gene therapy. The antibodies bind specifically to a serotype, but often display broad cross-reactivity. A subset of these antibodies called Neutralizing Antibodies (NABs) can render the AAV inactive thereby reducing the efficacy of the therapy. The pre-existing NAB levels against different serotypes vary by species, and these variations need to be considered while designing studies. Since large animals often serve as preclinical models to test gene therapies, in this review we compile studies reporting pre-existing NABs against commonly used AAV serotypes in humans and large animal models and discuss strategies to deal with NABs.
Internal organ damage in arsenic hydrogen intoxication
Authors: Tkachyshyn V.S.
Published: December 2022

Arsenic hydrogen is a colorless gas. It enters the body through the respiratory system, without irritating the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract. It is a poison with a primary hemolytic effect. In the body, arsenic hydrogen is oxidized to arsenic and excreted from the body mainly through the kidneys and intestines. The consequence of rapid and massive hemolysis is anemia, hypoxia, damage to parenchymal organs (kidneys, liver), nervous and cardiovascular system. In addition to hemolysis, a significant role is played by the direct toxic effect of arsenic, which is formed during the oxidation of arsenic hydrogen, on the organs and tissues of the body. The development of acute and chronic poisoning with arsenic hydrogen is possible. Acute poisoning causes mild, moderate and severe intoxication. Chronic intoxication with arsenic hydrogen is very rare. Moderate anemia, which does not have clear clinical manifestations of hemolysis, is characteristic. Urgent hospitalization, rest, fluid intake in large quantities are necessary. Antidotes for arsenic hydrogen poisoning are unithiol and sodium thiosulfate. Prolonged inhalations of oxygen are indicated. In the absence of severe kidney damage, diuretics are used. In renal failure, hemodialysis is performed. In severe cases, an exchange transfusion is possible. The presence of a characteristic clinical picture of the disease, along with anamnesis data and an increased urine arsenic level, allows you to establish the correct diagnosis. After severe acute and significant chronic intoxications, a patient is released from work with arsenic hydrogen and other toxic substances. He is referred to the medical and social expert commission to establish a disability group due to an occupational disease. Prevention of arsenic hydrogen poisoning in industrial conditions should be reduced to careful control over the use of purer metals and acids that do not contain arsenic, the installation of effective local and general ventilation. Constant sanitary and hygienic control over the release of arsenic hydrogen into the air of working premises is necessary.

Published: December 2022

The requirements for the calculation of indicators of avalanche activity determined by climatic conditions in the territories under developing, as well as prognosis of their changes in the future are enshrined in Russian Federation legislation. However, the data required for this do not exist for all the regions of the country, especially those, that are only now included in the industrial exploration. The dependences between the climatic and the geomorpho- logical indicators and parameters of avalanches and avalanche activity are developed earlier on the basis of data from direct observations. The indicators are based on the average annual maximum ten-day snow cover height, the number of days with snow cover, the duration of the avalanche period and the average long-term frequency of avalanches. The climatic parameters presented by model MRI-CGCM3 (RCP 8.5) were incorporated into these dependences system. This made possible to estimate the indicators of avalanche activity for the middle and for the end of the 21st century. Also, their changes relative to the present conditions were assessed. Thus, a methodology was successfully tested that allows to include normatively defined characteristics of avalanche activity in the anal- ysis and forecasts of regional climate changes for any climate scenarios.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the main parameters of environmental pollution in the Arctic zone of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), AZRS, as well as to the analysis of their impact on the health status of the popula- tion of this region. The collected data indicate that the main source of pollutants in this case is the mining industry, additional sources are the energy sector, transport and reindeer husbandry. Their negative impact is enhanced by such natural features of the regional natural environment as the slow decomposition of pollutants due to the annual predominance of low temperatures and, due to the presence of permafrost, their concentration in the upper soil layers. As a result of the study of the state of health of the population of the AZRS, the main composition of regional pathologies was determined, and a territorial picture of the incidence of the population of the region was compiled. An assessment of the state of regional health care is given and some proposals are formulated to improve the ef- ficiency of its work.

Comprehensive studies of the state of the infrastructure in the Russian Arctic were carried out. The degree of deformation of objects and the impact of dangerous cryogenic and nival-glacial processes on the stability of build- ings and constructions were assessed. It was established that a number of cryogenic processes that are dangerous for the infrastructure were developing in urbanized areas of the permafrost zone. They are caused (or activated) by anthropogenic impact or by climatic changes. Thermokarst, thermal erosion and thermal abrasion of banks, icings formation are activating. The tangential forces of frost heaving increase due to the increase of the active layer depth. Almost all the buildings and the life support systems at the territories of the national settlements of the Polar re- gion are in an emergency or pre-emergency state. The percentage of deformation of the engineering infrastructure varies from 20% to 80% in industrial centers, which is often caused by the development of dangerous cryogenic processes. A methodic was developed to assess the negative impact of the most destructive processes on the infra- structure of settlements. It takes into account the degree of damage to the territory, the duration, and repeatability of processes. The risk assessment was carried out for one and a half dozen settlements in the Russian Arctic, with special attention paid to the infrastructure of the north of Western Siberia. The impact of waste disposal on the infrastructure of the Arctic was analyzed. A classification was proposed based on the degree of their influence on permafrost foundations. Proposals on stabilization of geotechnical situation in Arctic cities are given.

In the field of educational psychology, the relationship between regulatory functions and the development of coherent monologic speech is a hot topic. In our country, however, this kind of research is still in the bud. The study assessed the level of cognitive flexibility, nonverbal intelligence, and the ability to produce coherent monologic speech in 279 children aged 5 and 6 with the purpose to explore meaningful predictors of the development of coherent speech in preschoolers based on their narratives. Children’s narratives have a macro- and a microstructure. The former is characterized by narrative length, completeness, adequacy, structure, and type (structural parameters of the narrative as a coherent and integral statement). The microstructure of the narrative is formed by such language aspects as phonetics, dictionary, morphology, and syntax. Research findings indicate that there is a strong correlation between cognitive flexibility and macrostructure parameters, while microstructure components are only slightly related to this regulatory function. Children who successfully completed the most difficult task of the cognitive flexibility test performed significantly better when creating narratives. The results of the nonverbal intelligence test show that both indicators (nonverbal intelligence and cognitive flexibility) can predict the narrative’s complexity level. These findings can be used to improve children’s cognitive development and school readiness.

This work is a comprehensive cross-methodological experimental study of phonological processing disorders in dyslexic Russian-speaking children. We developed and standardized a Russian-language test battery to assess phonological processing skills (The Russian Test of Phonological Processing), wich we then used to assess the features of phonological deficits in children with dyslexia and conduct an analysis of reading difficulties and their structural brain correlates using modern methods of videooculography and neuroimaging. The first phase’s findings revealed that more complex phonological tests were also more difficult, whereas children’s performance in these tests was found to be a significant predictor of reading speed. The project’s second phase identified five common patterns of eye movements during reading in children with and without dyslexia. We discovered that children with dyslexia exhibit the same patterns as their typically developing peers, albeit with a three-year delay. Finally, the third phase revealed significant differences in gray matter volume in the cerebellum, insula, and parietal lobule between group of children with dyslexia and control group of typically developing children.

These findings have significant implications for clinical practice, interdisciplinary research on dyslexia, and possibly the educational system.

Abstract: Secure voting is ensured by the Electronic Voting Machine. People should believe that their vote is secured and there are no unfair practices. The main objective of this project is to develop a secure Electronic Voting Machine using fingerprint identification method, we are using system database for fingerprint access. At the time of voting in elections, the verification of the electronic voting process can be done by scanning the veins on the fingers which allows voting to be reset so voters can cast their vote. We are also giving a barcode scan feature where user will scan to authenticate himself. System then show the list of candidate user, User will vote by pressing the button and all the data will be store in storage device. Fingerprint scanning is used to provide security to prevent fake, duplicate voting etc. It also increases the accuracy and speed of the process. The purpose of such a system is to ensure that only the legitimate user and no one else has access to the voting rights. If a particular pattern matches anyone in the available record, voting access is granted. But in case the pattern does not match the records in the database, or in the case of repetition, access to cast a vote is denied or the vote is rejected.

Published: December 2022

Abstract: The present era is completely dependent on Internet which serves as a global information source for all users. Therefore the availability of internet is very important. Distributed denial-of-service is one kind of the most highlighted and most important attacks of today’s cyber world. This paper mainly focuses on the DDoS attack which obstruct the network availability by overflowing the victim with high volume of illegal traffic usurping its bandwidth, overburdening it to prevent valid traffic to get through. We have also described the various types of DoS attack techniques that are inflicted upon the ISPs. The study of this research is to find out the various techniques to prevent these attacks along with their mitigation techniques and to find out any possible solution.

Depression is a mood disorder characterized by the absence of hope, prolonged sadness, excessive feelings of helplessness, inability to make decisions, inability to concentrate, loss of enthusiasm for life, feelings of tension and desire to end life or hurt oneself. The purpose of this study was to see whether self-harm behavior in depression could be reduced after giving cognitive behavioral therapy. The assessment was carried out using interviews, observation, WHO Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS), Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS), Graphic tests (Draw a Person, BAUM, House Tree Person) and Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). The result shows that cognitive behavioral therapy is effective in reduce self-harm into positive copping mechanism behavior and can reduce negative thinking in people with depression.
