Published: May 2021

The development of the tourism industry takes place in conditions of high competition. To ensure competitiveness in the market of tourist services, an important element of promotion is the formation of an effective tourist brand. Thus, the article is devoted to the topical issue of finding effective ways to implement mechanisms for public management of tourism brand development on the example of territories, in the context of decentralization reform in Ukraine. These studies are important both from a scientific and theoretical point of view, and from the point of view of business practice in modern market relations. The purpose of the article is to find ways to improve the system of public management of the tourist brand of the territories. The market is oversaturated with traditional forms of tourist attractions. To enter new markets or increase your target audience, you need to develop original projects and promote a non-standard tourism product. Such a product can be various innovative projects of different types of tourism, as a type of tourism that is actively developing and attracts additional attention of tourists to areas that have potentially interesting tourist resources. The article is devoted to the development of the theoretical foundations of public administration for the promotion of the tourist brand of the regions. Theoretical approaches to the definition of the concept of tourism brand management in terms of territorial development are analyzed. The leading world practices of formation of tourist brands of territories are analyzed. Domestic trends in the development of tourism brands are identified, taking into account the opportunities for the creation of public management systems for tourism brands at the regional level. The expediency of introduction of initiatives on introduction of mechanisms of the state management of a tourist brand of territories is developed and substantiated. The results of developments can be used in practical activities to develop the tourism potential of the regions.

Pyogenic granuloma is one of the inflammatory hyperplasias seen in the oral cavity. This term is a misnomer because the lesion is unrelated to infection and in reality arises in response to various stimuli such as low-grade local irritation, traumatic injury or hormonal factors. Clinically, oral pyogenic granuloma is a smooth or lobulated exophytic lesion manifesting as small, red erythematous papules on a pedunculated or sometimes sessile base, which is usually hemorrhagic. The surface ranges from pink to red to purple, depending on the age of the lesion Conservative surgical excision is usually curative but recurrence is not unusual. Lasers and cryotherapy may also be employed.

Extended Elastic Impedance (EEI) is a very useful seismic reconnaissance attribute. EEI logs can directly correspond to the petrophysical properties of the reservoir and the seismic. EEI reflectivity volumes can be obtained directly from the pre-stack seismic data. Better discrimination between the seismic anomaly caused by either lithology or fluid content can be utilized by applying this approach. The concept of extended elastic impedance is used to derive the petrophysical properties and distribute the reservoir facies. The study area was a Pliocene gas field, that lies in the deep marine, Offshore Nile Delta, Egypt. The workflow is simple, efficient, and uses very few inputs. We started with the fluid/ lithology logs and investigated the optimum projection in the intercept/gradient domain. Then, we used the conditioned angle stacks, to calculate the intercept/ gradient volumes, using Shuey’s two-term Approximation. The intercept and gradient volumes are converted directly to the fluid and lithology 3D volumes, without any of the pre-stack inversion constraints. The outputs were tested using a blind well and the correlation exceeds 80%. The results show that the EEI is a worthy effort to highlight the difference between the reservoir and nonreservoir sections, to identify the hydrocarbon area.
An Overview of Data Mining and Process Mining Applications in Underground Mining
Authors: BRZYCHCZY Edyta
Published: May 2021

The underground mining process can be analysed with a data-oriented or process-oriented approach. The first of them is popularand wide known as data mining while the second is still not often used in the conditions of the mining companies. The aim of thispaper is an overview of data mining and process mining applications in an underground mining domain and an investigation ofthe most popular analytic techniques used in the defined analytic perspectives (“Diagnostics and machinery”, “Geomechanics”,“Hazards”, “Mine planning and safety”). In the paper two research questions are formulated: RQ1: What are the most populardata mining/process mining tasks in the analysis of the underground mining process? and RQ2: What are the most popular datamining/process mining techniques applied in the multi-perspective analysis of the underground mining process? In the paper sixty--two published articles regarding to data mining tasks and analytic techniques in the mentioned domain have been analysed. Theresults show that predominatingly predictive tasks were formulated with regard to the analysed phenomena, with strong overrepresentationof classification task. The most frequent data mining algorithms is comprised of the following: artificial neural networks,decision trees, rule induction and regression. Only a few applications of process mining in analysis of the underground miningprocess have been found – they were briefly described in the paper.
High Prevalence of Cryptosporidium meleagridis in Domestic Pigeons (Columba livia domestica) Raises a Prospect of Zoonotic Transmission in Babylon Province, Iraq
Authors: Altamimi Mohammed K.A. , Al-Zubaidi Mohammed Th. S.
Published: May 2021

Cryptosporidium is one of the most common protozoan’s parasites with remarkable infectivity of a wide range of animals, including mammals and birds. Domestic pigeons (Columba livia domestica) act as a potential reservoir for several species of Cryptosporidium because they live in close proximity to humans. This study was conducted to assess the genetic diversity of Cryptosporidium in domestic pigeons in Iraq. A total of one hundred samples obtained from feces of domestic pigeons in Babylon province were included. After being exposed to microbial examination, all fecal samples were subsequently screened by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the possible recognition of Cryptosporidium species. Microscopy tests detected only 14/100 (14%) of infection with Cryptosporidium, while molecular tests detected 21/100 (21%) of the same targeted parasite. Sequencing experiments showed a high prevalence of C. meleagridis with 13/21 (61.90%), followed by C. baileyi with 7/21 (33.33%), while only one infection was detected with C. hominis (1/21) (4.76%). No co-infection with mixed Cryptosporidium spp. was observed, and sex factor was not found to affect the infection rate. In conclusion, this study informed a high prevalence of C. meleagridis in domestic pigeons than both C. baileyi and C. hominis, respectively, signifying a higher zoonotic potential of C. meleagridis between domestic pigeons and their handlers. This finding may raise more questions with regard to the increasing infectivity of C. meleagridis in human. This is the first important screening study in Iraq that uses molecular methods for the detection of Cryptosporidium in domesticated pigeons.

Comparative study of the tympanic cavity of the cattle and buffalo
Authors: AL Sadi S.
Published: May 2021

The objective of the current study was to determine the anatomical features of the tympanic cavity in cattle and buffalo and to be recognize all parts of the tympanic cavity for its clinical purposes. There are general anatomical explanation about the middle ear in anatomy text book, however there are no studies in the literature on the morphology of the tympanic cavity in the buffalo, the region is important clinically as a frequent point of attachment for prostheses. As a recent studies have focused on the reconstruction of defects occurring in these tympanic cavity to aid in the development of new surgical technique. Twelve temporal bones from six heads of adult cattle and buffalo were used, the cavity had been investigated on both sides after dissection them, the features of the cavity were assessed with a measurement done by using digital veirenear calipers and measurement tap and photograph by a stereomicroscope. The result show that the tympanic cavity can be divided into three parts, dorsal (epitympanic recess) middle (proper tympanic cavity) and ventral (tympanic bulla), size communicating freely with each other. Epitympanic recess has handle the head of the malleus ,which embedded in the medial surface of tympanic membrane , the proper tympanic cavity has three ossicles are connected to each other , in buffalo being the most developed and the ossicles of the cattle are relatively small , but the incus is more pronounced. Malleus is intimately fused with the incus, it was therefore not possible to separate the malleus and incus. The proper tympanic cavity has tympanic membrane the membrane can be divided into pars flaccids and pars tensa, in buffalo was more development, large in size and oval in shape, with a darker color and thick, but in cattle was rectangle in shape, with a lighter color and thin comparative with buffalo. The tympanic cavity has two skeletal muscles (stapedius and tensor tympanic muscles), the stapedius muscle is ill developed and the greater part of the tensor tympanic muscle was tendinous in buffalo. The proper tympanic cavity has four opening, the external acoustic meatus, the fenestra ovals, the fenestra rotundum and the Eustachian tube. The first three opening are closed by membrane partitions, the Eustachian tube or the auditory tube is short, and (4-5) cm in length and this can clearly why the tympanic cavity of the animal is easily susptable for infections. The ventral of the tympanic cavity was sieve - like present large number of formation which continues with the air cell of the tympanic bulla, the cell which lie directly ventral to the proper tympanic cavity was communicate with those around the external acoustic meatus and facial canal .
Correlation bCorrelation between the prevalence of E.coli O157:H7 and the physic -chemical characetween the prevalence of E.coli O157:H7 and the physic -chemical characteristics of the soil on a dairy farm reared under field conditions in Baghdad province
Authors: Mohammed Zuhair A.
Published: May 2021

This study was designed to investigate the correlation of various stress factors (PH, moisture contents, temp., and soil texture) on the ability of E.coli OI57:H7 to persist on/in soil on a dairy farm reared under field conditions at the college of Agriculture /University of Bagdad. The prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 in soil samples was determined for the period January to June 2012. The surface kinetics of E.coli O157:H7 onto the soil (surface kinetics), were theoretically achieved by dividing the farm into 3 zones starting from the fens (Z1),5m, and 10 m (Z5, and Z10, respectively) from the farm in three direction (right, left and rear of the farm) . While the depth kinetics were achieved by taking soil samples from the surface (D0), and at depths of  5, and 10 cm (D5, and D10  respectively) from each zone in the three directions. Nine soil samples (200g) were collected in plastic bags for each distance of 1, 5, and 10m from the farm for each depth of zero (surface), 5 and 10 cm at weekly basis. Sub sample (100g) was made for physicochemical assays. The other subsample was analyzed for E. coli OI57:H7. In conclusion, the physico-chemical characteristics of the soil examined, PH, moisture %, sand%, and clay % showed either no consistent or weak correlations with the prevalence of E.coli O157:H7 at the dairy farm reared under field conditions. The prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 found in this study are far greater than what would likely be found on a dairy farm in other countries; this is a critically important fact considering that, under natural conditions, even a low level of contamination of E. coli O157:H7 with a low infective dose could present a human health hazard.

Authors: Dawood Tamara N.
Published: May 2021

The aim of this work was to establish the vital role of using vitamin B complex and/or vitamin C in the reproduction. Twenty female rabbits were used and they were divided randomly into four equal groups, all animals were fed 100 g of concentrate pellets diet/ head. The first group was offered drinking water free of vitamins, (control group), second group was supplied with water containing vitamin C (40 mg/ 100ml water/ head), third group was supplied with water containing vitamin B complex (0.5 ml/100ml/head), and fourth group was water supplied containing 20 mg of vitamin C and 0.25 ml of vitamin B complex/100 ml water/head. At the beginning of the experiment, male rabbits were introduced to the females for mating for one hour at morning daily for two weeks before the food and water were supplied. The results revealed that, body weight of all groups increased progressively with age. The treated groups gained insignificantly more than the control group, the second and fourth group showed higher but insignificant. In second and third group caused significant increase in PCV, Hb, WBCs, lymphocyte percentage and decrease in neutrophil, monocyte and eosinophil percentages compared with the control group. However, blood glucose and serum cholesterol levels were significantly decreased (P<0.05) in second and fourth group when compared with first group. While vitamins groups caused insignificant increase in alkaline phosphatase activity enzyme. However, the treated groups showed significantly higher fertility rate and reproductive efficiency ratio compared with the control group and numerically higher in prolificacy ratio (%). But third and fourth group showed better prolificacy and reproductive efficiency ratio than the second group

Published: May 2021

Objectives: There are two potentially useful but nonintersecting efforts to help ensure that psychological science produces valid and credible information and contributes to the understanding of diverse human experiences. Whereas North American ethnic minority psychology research/cultural diversity science (EM/D) emphasizes cultural competency to yield contextualized psychological understanding of understudied and underserved minority populations, current open science (OS) approaches emphasize material and data sharing, and statistical proficiency to maximize the replicability of mainstream findings. To illuminate the extent of and explore reasons for this bifurcation, and OS’s potential impact on EM/D, we conducted three studies. Methods and Results: In Study 1, we reviewed editorial/publishing policies and empirical articles appearing in four major EM/D journals on the incentives for and use of OS. Journals varied in OS-related policies; 32 of 823 empirical articles incorporated any OS practices. Study 2 was a national mixed-methods survey of EM/D scholars’ (N=141) and journal editors’ (N=16) views about and experiences with OS practices. Emerged themes included beliefs about the impact of OS on scientific quality, possible professional disadvantages for EM/D scholars, and concerns about the welfare of and ethical risks posed for communities of color. In Study 3, we explored community research participants’ beliefs about data sharing and credibility of science/scientists (N=1,104). Participants were receptive of data sharing and viewed psychological science favorably. Conclusions: We provide data-driven recommendations for researchers to assemble the best tools for approaching the knowledge-production process with transparency, humility, and cultural competency.
Differential expression of family with sequence similarity 107 member A in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: May 2021

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding family with sequence similarity 107 member A, FAM107A, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. FAM107A mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of FAM107A in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal A subtype cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by molecular subtype. FAM107A may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

On Deep Research Problems in Deep Learning
Authors: Ulhaq Anwaar
Published: May 2021

The subject of deep learning has emerged in the last decade as one of the most promising approaches to machine learning. Today, certainly, much of the recent progress in artificial intelligence is due to it, but research challenges are still unresolved and remain open to the research community. This paper attempts to offer a comprehensive review of deep learning progress in active research frontiers. On the one side, by presenting a brief overview of deep learning success, we inspire researchers to work in deep learning. On the other hand, we examine a range of technical issues, and open research issues that we believe are relevant topics for exploratory research. As deep learning applies to various fields, we restrict this paper’s scope to visual recognition tasks to analyze these problems with a specific lens. However, these problems will be broadly applicable to other fields. It will make it easier for new researchers to recognize outstanding research problems in the deep learning domain.
Pre-existing long-term memory facilitates the formation of visual short-term memory
Authors: Xie Weizhen , Zhang Weiwei
Published: May 2021

To understand more naturalistic visual cognition, a growing body of research has investigated how pre-existing long-term memory (LTM) influences representations and processes actively engaged in visual short-term memory (VSTM). Prior research on LTM and the representation aspect of VSTM, such as the number of retained VSTM items or VSTM storage capacity, has yielded mixed findings. However, converging evidence from different experimental approaches suggests that pre-existing LTM reliably modulates the initial process of transferring fragile sensory inputs into durable VSTM contents. Here, we review recent findings along this line of research and discuss potential mechanisms for future investigations. We find that pre-existing facilitates the formation of VSTM even though it may not replace the limited VSTM storage capacity. These findings, therefore, highlight the importance of assessing how pre-existing LTM affects the mental processes underlying naturalistic visual cognition.
I can tell you know a lot, although I'm not sure what: Modeling broad epistemic inference from minimal action
Authors: Aboody Rosie , davis isaac , Dunham Yarrow , Jara-Ettinger Julian

Inferences about other people's knowledge and beliefs are central to social interaction. In many situations, however, it's not possible to be sure what other people know because their behavior is consistent with a range of potential epistemic states. Nonetheless, this behavior can give us coarse intuitions about how much someone might know, even if we cannot pinpoint the exact nature of this knowledge. We present a computational model of this kind of broad epistemic-state inference, centered on the expectation that agents maximize epistemic utilities. We evaluate our model in a graded inference task where people had to infer how much an agent knew based on the actions they chose. Critically, the agent's behavior was always under-determined, but nonetheless contained information about how much knowledge they possessed. Our model captures nuanced patterns in participant judgments, revealing a quantitative capacity to infer amorphous knowledge from minimal behavioral evidence.

Las claves dicotómicas, son recursos o herramientas que los investigadores, docentes u otro personal vinculado al estudio de las ciencias biológicas, utilizan para la determinación de distintas especies de organismos, mediante la comparación de dos caracteres excluyentes. En la investigación se proponen diferentes claves dicotómicas ilustradas en formato electrónico, para la identificación de diferentes taxones de vertebrados, acuáticos y terrestres, presentes en la fauna cubana que incluye órdenes, familias, géneros y especies, y están en correspondencia con el Programa de Zoología General II (Zoología de los cordados), que se imparte en la carrera de Licenciatura en Educación Biología, en la Universidad Central “Marta Abreu” de Las Villas, en la República de Cuba. En la investigación se emplearon diversos métodos teóricos y empíricos en su interrelación dialéctica, los que permitieron identificar las carencias existentes y proponer la solución. La información para el diagnóstico es obtenida a partir de la aplicación de diferentes instrumentos, como revisión de documentos, observación participante, prueba pedagógica, estudio de casos, encuesta a los estudiantes y evaluación de expertos. Para mitigar las dificultades detectadas, y con vistas a introducir por primera vez las claves dicotómicas ilustradas para vertebrados en formato electrónico, en la carrera de Licenciatura en Educación Biología, se elaboran las mismas, las cuales fueron sometidas a criterios de expertos que las valoraron de pertinentes.

Authors: Denegri-Muñoz Jerry Ezequiel , Iannacone Jose Alberto
Published: May 2021

El drenaje ácido de mina constituye una poderosa fuente de contaminación de aguas superficiales y subterráneas. Para el tratamiento del drenaje acido de mina, existen métodos activos y pasivos, estos últimos comprenden los humedales artificiales, los cuales vienen siendo usados en países industrializados, obteniéndose resultados interesantes. Es importante conocer las características, tipos, procesos físicos, químicos y biológicos; elección, diseño y construcción de los humedales artificiales; así como sus ventajas y desventajas para su aplicación en el tratamiento del drenaje acido de minas. Por ello, se realizó la revisión de 119 publicaciones, organizándola por temas comunes. Los humedales artificiales muestran ser una buena alternativa en el tratamiento del drenaje ácido de mina; sin embargo, se debe considerar factores como dimensión, el diseño, la elección planta – bacteria y las condiciones climatológicas para su aplicación. El humedal anaerobio es más eficiente en la reducción de acidez y metales pesados, asimismo el humedal de flujo subsuperficial muestra ser más adecuado para el tratamiento del DAM.

Published: May 2021

El objetivo del estudio fue describir la percepción de riesgo ante el COVID-19 desde un ejercicio modelado de metodología, gnoseología y epistemología en la enseñanza de posgrado. El estudio se realizó en julio de 2020 con docentes universitarios del Diplomado Internacional ¨Competencia estratégica en metodología de la Investigación científica¨, el cual se desarrolló en la Universidad Nacional San Luis Gonzaga de Ica, Perú. A los docentes universitários se les aplicó la técnica cualitativa de observación y participación donde se mostró un análisis de recorrido por algunas avenidas principales de la ciudad de Ica desde las 09:30 a 11:00 y 14:00 a 15:30. Mediante un muestreo probabilístico aleatorio, se registró el número de personas con el uso incorrecto de la mascarilla como principal medio de protección y bioseguridad ante el COVID-19. Se observó limitación en la percepción de riesgo de los docentes universitarios donde no hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativa entre ellos. Se concluye que, desde un ejercicio modelado que combina aspectos metodológicos, gnoseológicos y epistemológicos se utilizó la teoría de la motivación desde un contexto de estudio, pero no se halla otros estudio donde se desarrolle desde la hermenéutica y capacitación formativa universitaria, contribuir a aumentar la percepción de riesgo ante la pandemia de COVID-19.

Polarización en redes sociales ayuda a que los influencers tengan más influencia: análisis y dos estrategias de inoculación
Authors: Mantzaris Alexander V. , Garibay Ivan
Published: May 2021

Este trabajo explora simulaciones de debates polarizados desde una premisa general y teórica. Específicamente, trata sobre la existencia de una vía verosímil para un subgrupo en una red social en línea para encontrar un desacuerdo beneficioso y cuál podría ser ese beneficio. Se propone un marco metodológico que representa los factores clave que impulsan la participación en las redes sociales, incluida la acumulación iterativa de influencia y la dinámica para el tratamiento asimétrico de mensajes durante un desacuerdo. Se muestra que, antes de un evento de polarización, se logra una tendencia hacia una distribución más uniforme de relativa influencia, lo que entonces se invierte por el evento de polarización. Se debaten las razones de esta reversión y cómo tiene un análogo verosímil en los sistemas del mundo real. Además, se propone un par de estrategias de inoculación, cuyo objetivo es devolver la tendencia hacia una influencia uniforme entre los usuarios, mientras que se abstiene de violar la privacidad del usuario (por mantener el tema agnóstico) y de las operaciones de eliminación de usuarios.

Published: May 2021

The problem to ensure the safety of objects which are in the area of blasting operations, ensuring the destruction of hard rocks, remains relevant. The article presents the results of a large-scale experiment to determine the safe conditions for conducting drilling and blasting operations near the active gas pipeline. The simplest and most reliable way to ensure the safety of the protected object from seismic impact is to reduce the intensity of the seismic wave, which is achieved by changing the parameters of drilling and blasting operations. This requires research to determine the impact of blasting operations on the parameters of seismic waves and the development of methods for measuring these parameters. The paper presents a detailed analysis of the seismic blast wave impact on the displacement of the ground and the model gas pipeline. The features of seismic monitoring during blasting operations near the active gas pipeline are shown. The seismic coefficients and attenuation coefficient of seismic waves are determined. It is proved that the readings of the seismic receivers on the surface and in the depth of the massive differ by two or more times.
Development of viscoelastic systems and technologies for isolating water-bearing horizons with abnormal formation pressures during oil and gas wells drilling
Authors: Dvoynikov Mikhail , Kuchin Vyacheslav , Mintzaev Magomed
Published: May 2021

Article provides a brief overview of the complications arising during the construction of oil and gas wells in conditions of abnormally high and abnormally low formation pressures. Technological properties of the solutions used to eliminate emergency situations when drilling wells in the intervals of catastrophic absorption and influx of formation fluid have been investigated. A technology for isolating water influx in intervals of excess formation pressure has been developed. The technology is based on the use of a special device that provides control of the hydrodynamic pressure in the annular space of the well. An experiment was carried out to determine the injection time of a viscoelastic system depending on its rheology, rock properties and technological parameters of the isolation process. A mathematical model based on the use of a special device is presented. The model allows determining the penetration depth of a viscoelastic system to block water-bearing horizons to prevent interformation crossflows and water breakthrough into production wells.
