Національна культурна спадщина: пам’ятки України у списку Світової спадщини ЮНЕСКО
Authors: Біланич Галина , Біланич Людмила
Published: May 2021

У статті осмислено та об’єктивно оцінено роль культурної спадщини України у процесах консолідації української нації як неповторного історико-культурного середовища. Доведено, що значення культурної спадщини як сукупності успадкованих людством від попередніх поколінь полягає не лише в збереженні ідентичності та історії, а передусім формує нашу особистість і визначає повсякденне життя суспільства, є джерелом всеохоплюючого зростання, а національні традиції, обряди, кухня, мистецтво несуть не менше інформації про країну, ніж її політичний курс чи географічне розташування. Представлено перелік об’єктів, що внесені до Списку світової спадщини ЮНЕСКО в Україні, серед яких: Собор Святої Софії із прилеглими монастирським спорудами та Києво-Печерська лавра; ансамбль історичного центру Львова; транскордонний об'єкт «Дуга Струве»; об’єкт природної спадщини «Букові праліси Карпат»; резиденція митрополитів Буковини і Далмації; дерев’яні церкви Карпатського регіону України і Польщі; античне місто-держава Херсонес Таврійський та його хора. Схарактеризовано дефініції «матеріальна культурна спадщина» та «нематеріальна культурна спадщина», під якою зокрема розуміємо культурно-духовні особливості, які передаються від покоління до покоління і постійно відтворюються, вирізняють один етнос від іншого, формуючи його національну ідентичність. Представлено елементи, внесені до Національного переліку нематеріальної культурної спадщини України, а також до Репрезентативного списку нематеріальної культурної спадщини людства від України.

Authors: Arora Stuti Kansra , Chhabra Mala , Anuradha Anuradha , Achra Arvind , Duggal Nandini
Published: May 2021

Introduction:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has emerged as one of the major global health challenge affecting about
2 - 3% of the world population. Epidemiological studies have shown that HCV infection is a major risk factor for
development of Acute hepatitis,chronic liver disease,cirrhosis and Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Early diagnosis of
HCV is important to link hepatitis testing to care and treatment initiation. Aim:To compare sensitivity and specificity of
rapid diagnostic test (RDT) with fourth generation ELISA Material and Method: This study was conducted in the
Department of Microbiology at Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences (formerly Post Graduate Institute of
Medical Education and Research) and Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital from January 2018 to December 2018.Blood
samples of patients suspected with hepatitis were tested using ELISA and rapid diagnostic test Results: In our study
26378 blood samples were tested for HCV,using fourth generation ELISA.Of these,581(2.20%) samples were found to be
positive by ELISA.These HCV positive samples along with equal number of ELISA negative samples were tested by rapid
diagnostic test. Sensitivity and specificity of the rapid diagnostic test was found to be 72.98 % and 100% respectively.
Discussion:Rapid diagnostic test can be used during emergency hours but their results must be followed by ELISA test
results in a tertiary care hospital.Reporting of false negative results should be minimized for rapid linkage to treatment
initiation and to avoid silent transmission of infection.

Balancing of Common DC-Bus Parallel Connected Modular Inductive Power Transfer Systems
Authors: AYAZ Enes
Published: May 2021

The aim of this paper is to design a modular,
fault tolerant multi transmitter(Tx) -multi receiver(Rx) parallel
connected common DC bus inductive power transfer(IPT) system
to replace slip rings in wind turbines or brushless exciters. In
parallel connected common DC bus systems, current unbalance
is a major issue which results in thermal stresses and over
current or voltages. In this paper, two different new current
balancing methods are proposed: Cross-coupled Rx modules and
intentional miss-tuning of Rx side resonant frequency. These
methods are investigated both analytically and experimentally
for a single Tx and two Rx system for a 500 W prototype.
The proposed methods are tested independently, and then the
combined current balancing method is also investigated. For the
same missalignment case cross-coupled/de-tuned has a 55.8%
current balancing improvement compared to de-coupled/fullytuned topology.
A Sensorless Control System for an Implantable Heart Pump using a Real-time Deep Convolutional Neural Network
Authors: Fetanat Masoud , Stevens Michael , Hayward Christopher , Lovell Nigel H.
Published: May 2021

Left ventricular
assist devices (LVADs) are mechanical pumps, which can be used to support heart
failure (HF) patients as bridge to transplant and destination therapy. To
automatically adjust the LVAD speed, a physiological control system needs to be
designed to respond to variations of patient hemodynamics across a variety of
clinical scenarios. These control systems require pressure feedback signals
from the cardiovascular system. However, there are no suitable long-term
implantable sensors available. In this study, a novel real-time deep
convolutional neural network (CNN) for estimation of preload based on the LVAD
flow was proposed. A new sensorless adaptive physiological control system for an
LVAD pump was developed using the full dynamic form of model free adaptive control
(FFDL-MFAC) and the proposed preload estimator to maintain the patient
conditions in safe physiological ranges. The CNN model for preload estimation was
trained and evaluated through 10-fold cross validation on 100 different patient
conditions and the proposed sensorless control system was assessed on a new
testing set of 30 different patient conditions across six different patient
scenarios. The proposed preload estimator was extremely accurate with a correlation
coefficient of 0.97, root mean squared error of 0.84 mmHg, reproducibility
coefficient of 1.56 mmHg, coefficient of variation of 14.44 %, and bias of 0.29
mmHg for the testing dataset. The results also indicate that the proposed
sensorless physiological controller works similarly to the preload-based
physiological control system for LVAD using measured preload to prevent ventricular
suction and pulmonary congestion. This study shows that the LVADs can respond
appropriately to changing patient states and physiological demands without the need
for additional pressure or flow measurements.
Facile Diabetic Retinopathy Detection using MRHE-FEED and Classification using Deep Convolutional Neural Network
Authors: Zubair Muhammad
Published: May 2021

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is an intricacy of dia- betes that affects the eyes. In this paper, we have proposed a hybrid pre-processing and feature extraction technique named as Microaneurysm Retinal vein Haemorrhage Exudate (MRHE) extraction using Feature Enhancement and Edge Detection (FEED) which can extract all the features in a single step and with very less complexity. To classify the presence of DR, we have used an efficient Deep Convolutional Neural Network (D-CNN), model. The D-CNN model is trained with four salient features namely retinal veins, MA’s, exudates, and haemorrhages which were extracted from the raw images using image-processing techniques. After training and testing the D-CNN model, we were able to classify the presence of DR based on the features extracted from the testing data. To implement this proposed method, we have used a dataset from the STructured Analysis of the Retina (STARE) Database, which comprises of retinal images taken under various imaging conditions using fundus photography. To demonstrate the legitimacy of the proposed method, we have compared our method with the existing DR detection and classification methods such as SVM, ANN,etc.. Performance evaluation results in terms of Accuracy and Recall show that the proposed algorithm outperforms other existing DR classification methods.

An SDN/NFV Proof-of-Concept Test-Bed for Machine Learning-based Network Management
Authors: Jiang Wei , Strufe Mathias , Gundall Michael , Schotten Hans Dieter
Published: May 2021

Complexity and heterogeneity of the fifth
generation (5G) and beyond mobile systems impose a great challenge on current network
managing approaches, which are vulnerable, time-consuming and costly. The
state-of-the-art research direction in this field is to apply machine learning
(ML) techniques to realize intelligent and highly self-organized networking. Unlike
the physical layer, theoretical analyses and numerical simulations on the
management layer are generally infeasible or not
scientifically rigorous enough. Therefore, in this paper, we present a
software-defined and virtualized wireless test-bed that is established to
evaluate ML-based network management. Based on open-source software and
off-the-shelf hardware, this test-bed is easily reproducible, which in turn is
hopeful to foster innovative works in this field.

Authors: Dei Rupa Hieronimus
Published: May 2021

Abstrak: Tujuan dari artikel ini adalah menginterpretasi dan mengafirmasi  bahwa  Ada  (das  Sein)  dalam  “pertanyaan  tentang Ada” (die Seinsfrage) dalam pemikiran Heidegger adalah univok sebagaimana konsep Ada itu univok dalam pemikiran Duns Scotus. Oleh karena itu, pertanyaan utama yang menuntun artikel ini adalah, bagaimana dapat ditunjukkan hubungan antara konsep Ada itu univok antara Dun Scotus dan Heidegger? Untuk memahami dengan baik tema ini, kita akan mengulasnya dalam empat bagian. Pertama, kita akan berkonsentrasi pada pengertian konsep ekuivok, analog, univok.   Kedua, kita fokus pada konsep analogi dan univok dalam pemahaman Abad Pertengahan. Bagaimana Duns Scotus memahami Ada itu univok akan dijelaskan pada bagian ketiga. Kemudian, kita akan mengelaborasi sebuah penafsiran Ada itu univok dalam pemi- kiran Heidegger pada bagian keempat. Pada akhirnya, konsep Ada itu univok dalam pemikian Heidegger terletak pada konsepnya tentang waktu.

 

Kata-kata kunci: Ekuivok, analog, univok, metafisika, Ada, Dasein, In- nerzeitigkeit, Zeitlichkeit, ekstasis, transendental.

 

Abstract:  The  scope  of  this  article  is  to  interpret  and  affirm  that Being (das Sein) in Heidegger’s “question of Being” (die Seinsfrage) is similarly univocal to Duns Scotus’ concept of the univocity of Being. Therefore, the central question which guides this article is, how can it point to the relationship between Duns Scotus and Heidegger in regards to the concept of the univocity of Being? To understand well this theme, we will explain it in four parts. First, we concentrate on the definitions of equivocity, analogy and univocity. Second,  we focus on the concepts of analogy and univocity in the Middle Ages. How Duns Scotus understands the univocity of Being will be pointed out in third part. After that, we will elaborate an interpretation of the univocity of Being in Heidegger’s thought in fourth part. In the end, concept of the univocity of Being in Heidegger’s thought is put in his concept of time.

 

Keywords: Equivocity, analogy and univocity, metaphysics, Being, Dasein, Innerzeitigkeit, Zeitlichkeit, ecstatic, transcendence.

Therapeutic management of obesity induced by antipsychotic drugs
Authors: Merk Wojciech , Lew-Starowicz Michał
Published: May 2021

The introduction of second-generation antipsychotic drugs (SGAs) has contributed to a more effective treatment of mental diseases and patients’ improved quality of life. Their particular superiority to first-generation antipsychotics (FGAs) includes better outcomes in treating "negative" symptoms, impact on mood and lower risk of motor side effects (1). Their increasing use, going beyond psychotic disorders, has highlighted the problem of medication-induced weight gain and obesity in patients. Obesity leads to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, decreased quality of life, and poor adherence. This narrative review discusses the impact of various SGA on weight gain and related adherence to medication, as well as available pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to counteract these effects. Most SGA commonly cause weight gain but the risk appears to be highest with olanzapine and clozapine. The best preventative strategies are tailored antipsychotic drugs and close monitoring of body weight and other metabolic parameters. Switching from one SGA to another less likely to cause metabolic disturbances is an option but carries a risk of relapse. Non-pharmacological interventions in the form of dietary counseling, exercise programs, cognitive and behavioral strategies appear to be equally effective in both individual and group forms. Both non-pharmacological prophylaxis and intervention strategies showed little effect on weight. Of the additional weight loss medications, metformin appears to be the compound with the best documented efficacy. There is no evidence of benefit from the routine prescription of additional weight loss medications. Drawing conclusions is hampered by the high heterogeneity of research methodology, as well as the participation of other factors such as lifestyle, genetic and disease-related factors.

Published: May 2021

AbstrakNaskah Hikayat Negeri Atas Angin (selanjutnya disingkat HNAA) merupakan naskah tunggal yang tersimpan di Perpustakaan Nasional Prancis, dengan nomor kode inventarisasi metadata Malayo-Polynes 56. Naskah HNAA termasuk dalam jenis cerita berbingkai sehingga keberadaannya dalam khazanah naskah Nusantara menjadi menarik untuk dikaji dan diungkap pesan-pesan moral yang terkandung dalam teks ini. Mengingat bahwa keberadaan cerita berbingkai masuk ke dalam khazanah sastra Nusantara berlangsung pada masa-masa peralihan Hindu ke Islam. Akan tetapi, dalam teks HNAA tokoh dan setting cerita yang ditampilkan, semuanya bernuansa Islam. Adapun dalam teks HNAA dikisahkan tentang ketidakadilan seorang pemimpin atau raja yang bernama Raja Maharaja Ali. Hal itu terjadi karena rasa cinta dan kasih sayang Maharaja Ali yang terlalu berlebihan kepada pihak keluarganya. Akibatnya, raja tidak dapat menjalankan tugas dengan baik, yaitu sebagai seorang pemimpin yang adil bagi seluruh rakyatnya. Padahal, keadilan adalah salah satu pilar bagi terwujudnya kesejahteraan dan kemajuan bagi sebuah kerajaan atau negara. Tentu saja, hal tersebut dapat dijadikan sebuah pembelajaran bagi seorang pemimpin, baik di masa sekarang maupun di masa-masa yang akan datang. Kata kunci: Hikayat Negeri Atas Angin, Raja Maharaja Ali, pemimpin, ketidakadilan, dan cinta

Reconceptualization of Gender Relations in Saeed’s Amal Unbound and Rao’s Girls Burn Brighter
Authors: Dr. Muhammad Asif  , Nimra Zafar  , Tahreem Iftikhar
Published: May 2021

This study examines gender relations in Saeed's 'Amal Unbound' and Rao's 'Girls Burn Brighter. The basic aim of this study is to review the existing patriarchal norms that exploit women. This comparative analysis seeks to offer a postmodern feminist worldview by redefining and reconceptualizing women's status, explaining their strengths, and granting them subject status. This study questions the concepts of rationality that perpetuate normative gender stereotypes and demands a brand new way of conceptualizing truth by breaking down the categories. It challenges the authorities, stereotypes, icons, and sexist values. Both texts that are examined in this study are set in the backdrop of the socio-cultural milieu of Pakistan and India. By presenting the cultures of two different countries, an effort has been put in to reconsider gender relations as a means of resistance. It reflects on the relationship between women and the environment and recognizes women's steadfastness in the face of oppression. Furthermore, an attempt has been made to undo patriarchal male coercion and explore the reasons for the continued proliferation of conscious and unconscious objectification of women.

It also provides valuable information useful for international financial institutions.
EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION IN THE CONTEXT OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EASTERN PARTNERSHIP PROJECT IN UKRAINE
Authors: Rudenko Olha Rudenko Olha , Zhytar Maksym Zhytar Maksym , Kodis Yevheniy Kodis Yevheniy
Published: May 2021

It was found that today Ukraine is not ready to introduce a decentralized system due to shortcomings in budget planning and non-transparency of public financial management. In case of its introduction in the management system of EU funds of Ukraine, it is advisable to develop a preparatory stage for a decentralized management system of EU assistance resources, which will ensure an independent audit of Ukraine's external assistance management system. Based on the results of the audit, it is necessary to determine the responsible state institution that will carry out the overall coordination of the decentralized system in the subsequent stages of its implementation. An urgent challenge for modern Ukraine is the ability to develop a national research and innovation strategy in line with the best EU models. To date, Ukraine lacks a comprehensive systemic vision for the development of science, technology and innovation, and dialogue with civil society and the expert community is somewhat of a formality. The plans and proposals submitted by the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Economic
Development, Trade and Agriculture need to be properly coordinated. After all, such inconsistency of actions of government structures is also reflected in the quality and effectiveness of the legislation of Ukraine, increases the time of adoption of laws in the Verkhovna Rada. In this regard, cooperation between the three committees in particular needs to be significantly improved, namely: the Committee on Education and Science, the Committee on Informatization and Communications and the Committee on Industrial Policy and Entrepreneurship. Promoting cooperation and integration with the European Union will allow the citizens of the respective partner countries to adapt European values faster, increase people's awareness of the experience and prospects of EU countries, and significantly strengthen their self-identification as Europeans. The importance of the role of the Eastern Partnership in security issues for both the EU and the countries participating in the Eastern Partnership should be emphasized.

Ambient Air Measurement of Benzene, Toluene and Xylene Within a Nigerian Petroleum Products Depot and Its Host Environment Using Carbon Adsorption and GC-FID Techniques
Authors: Muhibbu-din Ismail Eniola
Published: May 2021

Health effects of benzene, toluene and xylene emissions from a Nigerian Petroleum Products depot make stringent adherence to maximum allowable concentration very important. The storage facilities and distribution network and other installations of petroleum products depot are significant sources of benzene, toluene and xylene therefore ambient air of the depot requires observation and assessment. The ambient air concentrations of BTX were been measured within Pipelines and Product Marketing Company, Mosimi Depot and its immediate environment. Air samples were collected on granular activated charcoal through low volume air sampler and extracted with carbon disulphide (CS2) by desorption process.The extracted solutions were subjected to Flame Ionization Detection analysis in a gas chromatograph (Model: HP 6890) using a capillary column HP 5MS with length, inner diameter and particle size set at 30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm. The gas chromatograph was powered with chemstation RevA09.01 [1206] software to determine the concentrations of each of the identified VOCs species. The concentrations of benzene, toluene, p xylene, m xylene and o xylene ranged between 0.0104 - 0.0711, 0.0019 - 0.0998, 0.0010 - 0.0022, 0.0014 - 0.0026 and 0.0006 0.0019 mg/m3 respectively. The mean values were 0.0277, 0.0389, 0.0013, 0.0019 and 0.00010 mg/m3, respectively. On the average, the observed concentrations did not exceed the tolerance (air concentrations) limits set for Nigeria environment by the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA).

Authors: Nurul Fadhlina Ismail  , Dhaarshini A/P Ravi
Published: May 2021

Breast cancer (BC) is considered as one of the most common cancers among women and almost 2.1 million women are diagnosed with it each year around the world. The high mortality rate by breast cancer is mainly because of the late diagnosis of breast cancer which is because of the lack of awareness and knowledge about breast cancer itself and its screening methods among women. The gradually increasing mortality rate can be decreased by early detection of breast cancer. A validated questionnaire was adopted from a similar study that was done in Shah Alam, Selangor. The questionnaire consists of three sections namely sociodemographic status, knowledge about breast cancer and awareness of mammography. Most of the respondents (84.1%) stated that breast cancer is the most common cancer in Malaysia. In terms of risk factors, the majority (96.2%) of the respondents stated that genetic and family history is a risk of breast cancer while only 3.8% of them did not. 15 respondents received knowledge scores of which are less than 8 (very poor), 46 respondents have obtained scores from 8 to 11 (poor), 56 respondents have obtained scores from 12 to 16 (moderate) and 15 respondents have obtained scores from 17 to 20 (good). None of the respondents obtained scores of more than 20 (very good). This study shows that the respondents have very poor to moderate level of breast cancer knowledge. Mammography awareness was acceptable among the respondents as more than half of them knew about it.

This study focuses on the evaluation of the microbiological profile of microbes found in water, soil, droppings, in selected poultry farms under intensive and semi-intensive management system within Lagos, Nigeria. Bacteria and fungi were isolated from poultry droppings, water and soil samples and identified by standard microbiological protocol. The data on the assessment of poultry production system were obtained with structured questionnaire. The bacterial and fungal counts ranged from 29 X 109 CFU/mL - 106 X 109 CFU/mL and 72 X 109 CFU/mL - 115 X 109 CFU/mL respectively. The microorganisms isolated were Streptococcus pluranimalium, Micrococcus sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella sp., Staphylococcus arlettae, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Bacilllus subtilis, Aeromonas hydrophila, Candida tropicalis, Saccharomyces spp, Sporendonema spp., Aspergillus fumigatus, Fusarium oxysporum, Kloeckera spp., Zygosaccharomyces spp and Aspergillus niger. Aspergillus niger (30.5%), Micrococcus sp. (17.6%) and Staphylococcus saprophyticus, (17.6%), occur most frequently while Candida tropicalis (4.6%) and Escherichia coli (5.8%) has the lowest percentage occurrence in poultry droppings. Aspergillus sp. (48.4%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (28.6%) occur most frequently while Penicillium sp. (15.2%), Staphylococcus spp. (7.1%), has the lowest percentage occurrence in poultry soil samples. Fusarium sp. (38.8%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (28.6%), occur most frequently while Aspergillus sp. (7.7%), Staphylococcus spp. (7.1%) has the lowest percentage occurrence in water samples. Most of the isolated bacteria showed resistance to at least two different classes of antibiotics. There is strong evidence that poultry farms in Lagos have utilized many antibiotics and this may have contributed to antibiotic resistant pattern of some bacterial isolates to antibiotics.
