Features of the choice of the trajectory and stages of the flight of an unmanned aircraft on solar energy in a restless atmosphere
Authors: Suchow V. V. , Kozei Ya. S.
Published: January 2019

When forming the design parameters of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on solar energy, it is important to consider the peculiarities of energy supply not only when performing horizontal flight, but also at other stages (take-off, landing, maneuver, etc.), which ultimately form a common flight trajectory the implementation of which ensures the implementation of the specific task assigned to the UAV. However, the flight should be considered taking into account the actual operating conditions, including atmospheric factors. Determining the features of planning the trajectories and stages of flight of a UAV on solar energy during the implementation of a long flight, considering energy, design constraints and actual operating conditions, is the goal of this work. The possible trajectories of flight of UAVs on solar cells are determined in accordance with the typical tasks of its practical application. A discrete model is proposed for planning a trajectory of a route for a UAV on solar cells. The principles of the implementation of the stages of takeoff and landing of UAVs on solar energy are described, the dependencies between the energy consumption and the main parameters of each stage are determined. The dependences are obtained for determining the main components of the energy balance of UAVs on solar energy on the parameters of curvilinear flight. Verification of the obtained dependences was carried out by comparing the calculated and experimental (flight) data for a particular UAV on solar energy, which is of the mini class by mass. The convergence of the results of calculation and experiment is in the range of 15–20 %. The factors acting on an aircraft in a restless atmosphere, their effect on operational and design constraints are established. A generalized analytical model was obtained to determine the conditions for the implementation of a long flight (4–6 hours) of a solar-powered UAV, considering: mass, aerodynamic, energy characteristics; trajectory, atmospheric and operational conditions. The results of the study can be used at forming the shape of a UAV on solar energy at the stage of its preliminary design.
The analysis of chaotic regimes in Chua’s circuit with smooth nonlinearity based on the matrix decomposition method
Authors: Krot A. M. , Sychou U. A.
Published: January 2019

The scope of this work are electric circuits or electronic devices with chaotic regimes, in particular the Chua’s circuit. A nonlinear analysis of chaotic attractors based on the Krot’s method of matrix decomposition of vector functions in state-space of complex systems has been used to investigate the Chua’s circuit with smooth nonlinearity. It includes an analysis of linear term of the matrix series as well as an estimation of influence of high order terms of this series on stability of complex system under investigation. Here the method of matrix decomposition has been applied to analysis of the Chua’s attractor. The terms of matrix series have been used to create a simulation model and to reconstruct an attractor of chaotic modes. The proposed simulation model makes it possible to separate an influence of nonlinearities on forming a chaotic regime of the Chua’s circuit. Usage of both the matrix decomposition method and computational experiment has allowed us to find out that the initial turbulence model proposed by L. D. Landau is suitable for set-up description of the chaotic regime of the Chua’s circuit. It is shown that a mode of hard self-excitation in the Chua’s circuit leads to its chaotic regime operating with a double-scroll attractor in the state-space. The results might be used to generate of chaotic oscillations or data encryption.

FEATURES OF DISEASES NOMINATION IN THE SCOTS DIALECT
Authors: Vystropova Ol'ga Stanislavovna
Published: January 2019

The article deals with diseases nominations in the Scots dialect. The research material includes the Scottish-English dictionaries - “The Online Scots Dictionary” and “Dictionary of the Scots Language”, “New English-Russian Dictionary” by V. K. Muller, “Linguistic Encyclopaedic Dictionary” edited by V. N. Yartseva and medical information sources to study symptoms and signs of diseases. In the modern world, among the diversity of accents and dialects of the British Isles, Scots has a special place in communicative interaction realisation. It is revealed that the dominant feature of a disease nomination in Scots is the nomination of pain/illness according to its localisation in a particular organ or body part. Colour metaphor has been found to be one of the leading types of the secondary nomination of diseases in the Scots dialect.

Korean Constitutional Court and Constitutionalism in Political Dynamics: Focusing on Presidential Impeachment
Authors: Kim Jin Wook
Published: January 2019

The Constitutional Court of Korea, which should be a product of the June Democracy Movement in 1987, has transformed Korea's constitutionalism ever since its inception. The recent two impeachment cases decided respectively in 2004 against President Roh and in 2017 against President Park might be classic examples of how the state institutions including the Court interact with other institutions in a very political case in terms of political dynamics. In the impeachment case against President Roh, the Court positioned itself strategically by establishing the 'grave violation of law’ rationale, where it sided with the impeaching parliament by finding three counts of violations of law but dismissed the case in its entirety through the operation of the 'grave violation of law'. In the impeachment case against President Park, the Court basically followed the grave violation logic but reached a different conclusion to remove the President, which might be another strategic position taken by the Court, which is in line with the will of the super-majority of the Korean public. This paper aims to discuss how the Constitutional Court has developed its strategic position in terms of political dynamics, by analyzing the two presidential impeachment cases.
Referencing International Human Rights Law In Indonesian Constitutional Adjudication
Authors: Bisariyadi Bisariyadi
Published: January 2019

The power of the Indonesian Constitutional Court to review laws is a constitutional adjudication process. It is a forum to resolve constitutional issues where a citizen can challenge Law that has injured his rights. The Court's reasoning provides audiences with the debates for its deliberation. Audiences may find reference to the international human rights law. It is an interesting practice. However, there is no studies yet about the information on the statistic of the Court made reference to international human rights law. As such, this study aims to identify reference to international human rights law in the Court's decision on judicial review cases from 2003 to 2016. Additionally, this study also aims to answer the question of what underlies the Court to made reference to international human rights law. As many studies show, the objective of Constitutional Court's references to the international human rights law is to strengthen constitutional rights protection. Nonetheless, the Court did not pay any interests to the global agenda of transnational constitutionalism or a convergence of rights and legal pluralism. The article is divided into 5 (five) sections, commencing with the introduction. The second part discusses the status of international human rights law in Indonesia. As the third presents information on Court's decision which cited international human rights law. Then, the fourth presents typical function of the decision that made reference to international human rights law. It concluded that the practice of referring to international law demonstrates the open attitude of Indonesian constitutional justices to the universal nature of fundamental rights.
Support for a Universal Basic Income: A Demand-Capacity Paradox?
Authors: Parolin Zachary , Siöland Linus
Published: January 2019

Debate around a universal basic income (UBI) tends to focus on the economic and social implications of the policy proposal. Less clear, however, are the factors influencing support for a UBI. Using the 2016 European Social Survey, we investigate how trade union membership and left political ideology (central to power resources theory) and attitudes towards immigrants’ access to welfare benefits (central to welfare state chauvinism) affect individual support for a UBI. We also investigate how country-level differences in levels of social spending moderate individual-level UBI support. Results from multi-level models suggest that a broader coalition of UBI supporters can generally be found in countries where social spending is low. Specifically, we find that welfare state chauvinism is more likely to be associated with negative attitudes towards a UBI in countries with high levels of spending, but has only a weak association with UBI support in low-spending countries. Similarly, political ideology is more consequential in explaining UBI support in countries with higher levels of spending. These tensions form a demand–capacity paradox: the countries which are presumably least equipped to implement a UBI see the most broad-based support for the policy.
Tubulin or not tubulin: Heading towards total protein staining as loading control in Western blots.
Authors: Moritz Christian Peter
Published: January 2019

Western blotting is an analytical method widely used for detecting and (semi-)quantifying specific proteins in given samples. Western blots are continuously applied and developed by the protein community. This review article focuses on a significant, but not yet well-established, improvement concerning the internal loading control as a prerequisite to accurately quantifying Western blots. Currently, housekeeping proteins (HKPs) like actin, tubulin, or GAPDH are often used to check for equal loading or to compensate potential loading differences. However, this loading control has multiple drawbacks. Staining of the total protein on the blotting membrane has emerged as a better loading control. Total protein staining (TPS) represents the actual loading amount more accurately than HKPs due to minor technical and biological variation. Further, the broad dynamic range of TPS solves the issue of HKPs that commonly fail to show loading differences above small loading amounts of 0.5-10 μg. Although these and further significant advantages have been demonstrated over the past ten years, only a small percentage of laboratories take advantage of it. The objective of this review article is to collect and compare information about TPS options and to invite users to reconsider their applied loading control. Nine benefits of TPS are discussed and seven different variants are critically evaluated by comparing technical details. Consequently, this review article offers an orientation in selecting the appropriate staining type. I conclude that TPS should be the preferred loading control in future Western blot approaches.

Consumers of conventional cigarettes have begun to switch to using electronic cigarettes. Having different characteristics of these two kinds of cigarettes make the different health and economic effects to consumers. This study uses Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method to analyze the influence of electronic cigarette usage on conventional cigarette usage in Bandung in 2017. This study used 200 respondents of electronic cigarette users. This study uses the amount of conventional cigarette consumption after using electronic cigarette per day (Y) as the dependent variable. For independent variables, this study uses conventional cigarette consumption before using electronic cigarette per day (X1), total liquid of electronic cigarette consumption per month (X2), monthly electronic cigarette expenditure (X3), and respondent's perception whether using electronic cigarette more healthy (X4). Regression results showed that X1 and X4 have significant effect on Y. The increase of 1 stem of conventional ciga-rettes consumption before using electronic cigarette per day (X1) will increase the consumption of conventional cigarettes after using electronic cigarette per day (Y) of 0.1618005 stem. While with the respondent's perception that using electronic cigarette is healthier (X4) will reduce the consumption of conventional cigarettes (Y) as much as 5.169504 stems

Published: January 2019

This paper has two objectives. The first is to estimate technical efficiency scores for local government expenditurein regencies and cities in West Java. The second is to analyze the other environmental factors that play animportant role in the technical efficiency scores of local government expenditure in the same regencies and cities.This research uses a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method to estimate technical efficiency scores and usesa Tobit method for analyzing environmental factors. The DEA method uses capital expenditure per capita,employment of government expenditure per capita, and goods and services expenditure per capita as input anduses Gross Regional Product (GRP) per capita, human capital index (HDI) and road infrastructure length perwide area as output. The Tobit method uses the total of investment credit funds, total labor and total governmentemployment per 1000 civil servants. The results showed that there are many region that have high spendingbut can not achieved the maximum score of efficiency. The Tobit estimation shows that the total of investmentcredit funding and total labor have positive and significant marginal effects in creating optimal technical efficiencyscores. Total government employment per 1000 civil servants has a negative and insignificant marginal effect onoptimal technical efficiency scores.

Religious based HIV/AIDS education can be used to increase the knowledge of HIV/AIDS of the general population. The Imam educates his/her visitors about HIV/AIDS, thereby reducing risk behavior and stigma. To allow policy makers to make evidence-based decisions about prioritizing between various interventions focused on HIV/AIDS, it is important to calculate the costs of this intervention.METHODS:The costs were calculated for the city Bandung, Indonesia over a period of a year (January 2015 -December 2015). The data were collected in April and May 2016 and obtained by interviews with experts and records from KPA Bandung (the organization coordinating the intervention). In this intervention, KPA Bandung gives annual trainings to 60 Imams on how to educate visitors about HIV/AIDS. In turn, the Imams educate their visitors during the religious gathering.RESULTS:The cost falling on KPA Bandung for coordinating this intervention were US$387 per year. The largest cost components were the capital training cost (41%) and the recurrent personnel cost (35%). The total societal costs were US$1963 per year for 60 mosques and 1200 visitor. The largest cost components of the societal costs were the building cost for the mosques (27%) and the recurrent personnel cost for the Imams (40%).CONCLUSIONS:The costs for KPA Bandung are low, so it is important to consider scaling up the training from one time per year to two times per year. In addition, it would be significant to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.
Hypnotic Clever Hands: Agency and Automatic Responding
Authors: Polito Vince , Barnier Amanda , Connors Michael
Published: January 2019

The Clever Hands task (Wegner, Fuller, & Sparrow, 2003) is a behavioral illusion in which participants make responses to a trivia quiz for which they have no sense of agency. Sixty high hypnotizable participants completed two versions of the Clever Hands task. Quiz one was a replication of the original study. Quiz two was a hypnotic adaptation using three suggestions that were based on clinical disruptions to the sense of agency. The suggestions were for: Random Responding, Thought Insertion, and Alien Control. These suggestions led to differences in accuracy (action production) and estimates of accuracy (action projection). Specifically, whereas the Random Responding suggestion had little effect, the two clinically based suggestions had opposite impacts on action production: the Thought Insertion suggestion led to an increase in the rate of correct responses (although participants still believed they were responding randomly); while the Alien Control suggestion led to a reduction in the rate of correct answers and a pattern of results that more closely approximated randomness. Contrary to theoretical accounts that claim that hypnosis affects executive monitoring rather than executive control, this result indicates that specific hypnotic suggestions can also influence the implicit processes involved in action production.
The Effect of Odor and Color on Chemical Cooling
Authors: Pellegrino Robert , Luckett Curtis
Published: January 2019

Chemesthesis, along with taste and olfaction, is a primary component of flavor that engages the trigeminal system through specific chemical binding. For instance, many gums or confectionaries incorporate chemical cooling agents, such as Wilkinson Sword (WS) compounds, to create the sensation of coldness. The current study was designed to evaluate crossmodal associations of color and aroma with the chemesthetic perception of cooling. A “minty” and non-odorized set of confectionary stimuli, colored green, blue or white, with moderate cooling properties (with WS-3) were used in this study. In the first session, participants were randomly presented a stimuli and asked to rate several attributes including its cooling intensity on a generalized Labeled Magnitude Scale (gLMS). In the second session, the same participants were asked to relate cooling levels to different colors and which color relates to the “minty” odor. Additionally, open-ended reasons were given for association choices. Appearance and odor influenced the intensity of cooling sensation. In particular, the odorized and blue samples were rated as cooler than the non-odorized and other colored samples, respectively. The follow-up session confirms blue as a color associated with cooling properties, especially cool objects/abstract concepts. Meanwhile, odor’s enhancement on cooling sensation may be more perceptual in nature through affective matching from enhanced flavor.

Nepal is rich in varieties of religious plants. The locally used religious plants also carry medicinal importance. Desmostachya bipinnata L. Stapf, Hordeum vulgare L. and Drepanostachyum falcatum (Nees) Keng f. are three plants belonging to the family Poaceae having religious significance in different practices of Hinduism. They were also used as traditional medicines by our ancestors but nowadays they are underutilized. In this research, our core objective was to validate the traditional assumption of use of these plants in medicinal purposes by carrying out the assessments like antimicrobial assessment, antioxidative assessment and phytochemical assessment. Methanolic extracts produced from leaves of all three plants were examined for antimicrobial activities through agar well diffusion method. The same extracts were also assessed for determining their antioxidative potentials with the use of DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) free radical scavenging assay followed by qualitative phytochemical analysis and GCMS (Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy). Most promising antimicrobial activity was shown by Desmostachya bipinnata L. against Salmonella typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus, Drepanostachyum falcatum (Nees) Keng f. against Salmonella typhimurium and Klebsiella pneumoniae and Hordeum vulgare L. against Salmonella typhmurium and Staphylococcus aureus. The antioxidant activity of the plant extracts were observed in descending order of Hordeum vulgare L.>Desmotachya bipinnata L. > Drepanostachyum falcatum (Nees) keng f. and phytochemical assessment of the extracts indicated the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, sterols, Triterpenes, Saponins, Flavonoids, Coumarins, Phlobatanin and reducing sugars. Through this project, we can clarify that the above mentioned plants have bioactive compounds which contributed for the presence of antimicrobial and antioxidative property in the plants.

Cyclospora cayetanensis, a coccidian parasites which is responsible for recurring diarrhea and gastroenteritis especially among children living under poor hygienic condition in developing country like Nepal. Aimed of this research is to find out the prevalence of intestinal parasites and C. cayetanensis among diarrheal children in a Pediatric Hospital in Kathmandu valley, Nepal. Cross-sectional type of study was done. Altogether 196 stool specimens were collected from June to September 2013 among outpatient diarrheal children in Kanti Children’s Hospital. Modified Ziehl Neelson staining method was applied for detection of oocysts of Cyclospora after formal-ether sedimentation. Parasites were detected in 13.7% (27/196) of stool samples from ≤ 15 year old diarrheal patients. C. cayetanensis was detected in 4.8% (8/196). In genderwise, infection rate of C. cayetanensis 4.5 % (5/112), in male were higher than 3.6% (3/84) in female. In agewise, infection rate of C. cayetanensis in 5.7 % (3/52) 11-15 year old were highest followed by 4.1% (3/78) in 0-5 year old and 3.0% (2/66) in 6-10 year old. In seasonwise, infection rate of Cyclospora was highest in the month of August 7.4% (4/54) followed by 3.9% (2/51) in July, 2.3% (1/44) September and 2.1% (1/47) in June. Altogether five different type of parasites were detected. Infection rate of Giardia lamblia were highest 5.1 % (10/196) whereas lowest was Cryptosporidium parvum 1.0 % (2/196). Prevalence of C. cayetanensis is highly probable to infant, neonate, toddler and diarrheal children. Therefore, attention should be made in laboratory investigation of C. cayetanensis while suspecting the diarrheal patients infected with other parasites.

Published: January 2019

Polyphenols are high molecular weight, organic molecules mainly found in plant kingdom. They are mostly known for their positive impact on health, specifically for their antioxidant activity. Indeed, they are widely studied for the prevention of multiple diseases such as cancer, inflammatory, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. Nevertheless, extractions of these growing interest molecules remain challenging using conventional methods such as solvent extraction. That is why recent researches have focused on improving the extraction of polyphenol by using different technologies such as ultrasound, microwave, pressurized liquid, pulsed electric field, supercritical fluid and high hydrostatic pressure. In the current context, the assisted-extraction should demonstrate their potential to improve the extraction efficiency while being cost-effective and with a low environmental impact. To this end, technologies ought to, for instance, increase the solubility of polyphenol and the permeability of the cell wall. Consequently, this review is focused on the use and potential of these technologies to improve polyphenol extractions from plants as well as their purification using various methods. It discusses of the advantages and disadvantages with some examples of all these technologies assisted-extraction in comparison with conventional extraction method as well as purification technology.
