Published: October 2018

The subject of the research is the structure of the labor market of rural areas through the development of enterprises of rural green tourism. The purpose of the work is to identify problems and trends of employment of rural population and to substantiate the organization of alternative types of employment in rural areas through the development of rural green tourism enterprises. Methodological basis of the article became general scientific methods of cognition, generalization, method of comparative analysis, statistical and other methods of research. Results of work The labor market in the countryside is characterized by the curtailment of job offers through the holding of agrarian production, its modernization. There is an increase in labor productivity, the release of large masses of the rural population, a decrease in the levels of its income and life. This leads to the search for and justification of alternative types of employment in the countryside. One of them is the definition of rural green tourism and its enterprises. Moreover, the organization of small tourist enterprises and agro-villages in the village does not require significant investments and special professional training of workers. They are based on the use of material resources of farmers, personal peasant and households, as well as the traditions of hospitality and the rural way of life of Ukrainians. The field of application of results. The results of the study can be used by the state executive authorities in improving the structure of the labor market of rural areas. Conclusions With the purpose of developing the rural economy and expanding the labor market for rural residents, we proposed the development of rural green tourism enterprises. The organization of new types of economic activity in rural areas is intended to increase the incomes of rural population. With the active development of unique and competitive destinations for rural green tourism, for which rural areas are used as an advantage, rather than treated as a disadvantage, it is possible to reach a sufficiently high level of profitability. This will give impetus to the further development of the countryside and the emergence of adjacent or serving businesses.

Authors: Šota Stanislav
Published: October 2018

The paper analyzes the understanding of the pastoral and catechetical dimension of the bishop’s ministry in the documents of Pope Francis. In four parts, the paper presents the content and characteristics of bishop’s pastoral and catechetical activities, the mode of its realization and concrete contribution. Speaking primarily of the Jesus-like dimension of bishop’s pastoral-catechetical activity, the paper analyzes, it “stops” on Jesus’ face as the image and the synonym of bishop’s necessary evangelizing zeal, fervor and transformation. Jesus’ transformed face is a call, a mission and a need for the evangelizing, pastoral and catechetical transformation. The Jesus-like face speaks about the necessity of bishops being imbued with the principles and values of Jesus, about the necessity of their testimony and concrete love rooted in pastoral and catechetical activity. The second part of the paper brings concrete tasks of bishop’s ministry in the pastoral and catechetical sense: the incorporation of the Gospel in the socio-cultural environment, creating new models of pastoral-catechetical activity, promoting missionary communion, reviewing traditions, overcoming the “rural syndrome” in the pastoral-catechetical activity, the need to realize the bishop’s ministry in the dimension of “Jesus the Citizen” and “going out” to the peripheries, especially with a better family pastoral. In the third part, the author analyzes the pastoral-catechetical postulates of the bishop’s ministry through the prism of stronger inculturation, active, rather than re-active pastoral-catechetical activity, the overcoming of atheistic and anti-ecclesial culture of modern man, the need to preserve the original ways of incorporating the Gospel in the society, and the need for a stronger pastoral and catechetical inculturational involvement of bishops in their own dioceses. The fourth part of the paper points to the social dimension of the pastoral-catechistical activity of bishops, by stressing the need for bishops’ initiative to overcome evil and poverty that are present in the world, to deprive and eliminate their consequences, to point out their structural causes, with concern for ensuring health care for every person, the dignity of work, fair pay, protection of the dignity of human life, to contribute to and spread social dialogue as an essential dimension of peace and common good in the world.
Ensuring Justice and Searching for Truth in the Marriage Nullity Process
Authors: Valentan Sebastijan
Published: October 2018

Clients have a right to a fair trial. Judges and other officials ensure fairness by observing secrecy (cf. can. 1455, CIC 1983). This is necessary in a penal trial and in some cases also in a contentious trial. Judges are also required to maintain confidentiality concerning the discussion among them in a collegiate tribunal when making their judgement. If they breach the law of secrecy, they are punished with appropriate penalties and also with dismissal from office. The judicial examination of the parties is the core of the process. This phase leads the gathering of that important information which can lead the judge to the truth (art. 177, DC). “The best way of obtaining evidence are the statements of the spouses. The spouses are expected to be sincere and honest when describing their failed marriage.” A judge is obliged to remind the parties and the witnesses about their duty to speak the whole truth and only the truth.
Daya Komunikasi Paham Multikulturalisme Kritis di Ranah Politik Daring dalam Konteks Indonesia
Authors: Putranto Hendar
Published: October 2018

Indonesia is a fertile ground for flourishing respect towards differences as well as nurturing diversity, considering its unique history and genealogy of its formation. Despite the progress of information and communication technology for the last two decades, added with the emergence of informational politics or online politics after the reformation era 1998, there arose several radical groups and extreme social organization threatening the very foundation of multiculturalism in Indonesia, namely the freedom of religion/belief. Through analyzing and synthesizing the framework of critical multiculturalism and online politics, this research results in producing four parameters (accessibility, interactivity, criticality, solidarity) to measure the level of pro and anti-multiculturalism within certain websites. Here, the role and influence of sympathetic communication power is highly important because online politics depend more on the soft power rather than hard power, rational persuasion in communicative action framework rather than physical violence and politics-by-mass movement. Critical multiculturalism is properly needed in an era of information proliferation and easy access to various power relations. For the sake of a better future, critical multiculturalism should participate further and deeper in the context of emancipation, empowerment, and struggle for justice, especially justice for “those who have no voice, those who toil, those who live unappreciated, and those who die in silence.”

her iki alanda da nasıl gerçekleştiğini aydınlatmaya çalışmıştır. Ahlak
alanında özgürlüğü içsel anlamda ele
alan Kant, ahlaki özgürlük görüşünü
ahlak yasası bağlamında
ele alıp temellendirmiştir. Ahlak yasası dışarıdan
bir zor ve dayatma
olmaksızın kişinin
kendi aklının koyduğu bir yasadır ve
kişinin istemelerini bu yasaya
göre belirlemesi kişinin
içsel özgürlüğünü oluşturmaktadır. Hukuk alanına gelindiğinde ise özgürlük içsel alanla ilgili olmayıp kişinin başkalarını etkileyen davranışlarıyla, yani kişinin
eylemlerinin dışsal ve hukuksal boyutuyla ilgilidir ve hukuksal
alan her zaman bir dışsal zorlamayı
da beraberinde getirir.
İçsel özgürlük dışsal hiçbir zorlamayı
barındırmazken, dışsal özgürlük
ise belli bir düzeyde zorlamaya
dayanmak zorundadır. Bu çalışmada, Kant’ın bahsettiği
bu iki tür özgürlük
görüşünün neliğini
ve bunların birbiriyle ilgisini ortaya
koymak amaçlanmaktadır.
Fuzzy Q-Learning Agent for Online Tuning of PID Controller for DC Motor Speed Control

Published: October 2018

This paper proposes a hybrid Zeigler-Nichols (Z-N) reinforcement learning approach for online tuning of the parameters of the Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) for controlling the speed of a DC motor. The PID gains are set by the Z-N method, and are then adapted online through the fuzzy Q-Learning agent. The fuzzy Q-Learning agent is used instead of the conventional Q-Learning, in order to deal with the continuous state-action space. The fuzzy Q-Learning agent defines its state according to the value of the error. The output signal of the agent consists of three output variables, in which each one defines the percentage change of each gain. Each gain can be increased or decreased from 0% to 50% of its initial value. Through this method, the gains of the controller are adjusted online via the interaction of the environment. The knowledge of the expert is not a necessity during the setup process. The simulation results highlight the performance of the proposed control strategy. After the exploration phase, the settling time is reduced in the steady states. In the transient states, the response has less amplitude oscillations and reaches the equilibrium point faster than the conventional PID controller.

The hysteresis motor technology combined with the magnetic suspension makes bearingless hysteresis drives very appealing for high- and ultra-high-speed applications. Such systems exploit the magnetic behavior of the rotor material to achieve mechanical torque, but the hysteresis can significantly influence the magnetic suspension performance. The literature so far has focused mainly on the motor investigation. On the bearing side, the design and the performance assessment have been carried out by neglecting the hysteresis phenomenon of the rotor material. In those cases, the hysteresis of the rotor material is negligible and hence it slightly affects the force generation. In a wider perspective, this paper intends to investigate the force capability of electromagnetic actuators based on materials of large magnetic hysteresis behavior. To this purpose, the proposed numerical model, based on the finite element method, accounts for the magnetic hysteresis. The experimental results confirm the validity of the modeling approach, thus providing a useful tool for the design as well as the investigation of such systems.
Machine Learning and Cognitive Ergonomics in Air Traffic Management: Recent Developments and Considerations for Certification

Resurgent interest in artificial intelligence (AI) techniques focused research attention on their application in aviation systems including air traffic management (ATM), air traffic flow management (ATFM), and unmanned aerial systems traffic management (UTM). By considering a novel cognitive human–machine interface (HMI), configured via machine learning, we examined the requirements for such techniques to be deployed operationally in an ATM system, exploring aspects of vendor verification, regulatory certification, and end-user acceptance. We conclude that research into related fields such as explainable AI (XAI) and computer-aided verification needs to keep pace with applied AI research in order to close the research gaps that could hinder operational deployment. Furthermore, we postulate that the increasing levels of automation and autonomy introduced by AI techniques will eventually subject ATM systems to certification requirements, and we propose a means by which ground-based ATM systems can be accommodated into the existing certification framework for aviation systems.
The Potential of Some Moringa Species for Seed Oil Production
Authors: Boukandoul Silia , Casal Susana , Zaidi Farid
Published: October 2018

There is an increasingly demand for alternative vegetable oils sources. Over the last decade there has been fast growing interest in Moringa oleifera Lam., particularly due to its high seed oil yield (30–40%), while other Moringa species with similar potentialities are reducing their representativeness worldwide. This review reinforces the interesting composition of Moringa oil, rich in oleic acid and highly resistant to oxidation, for industrial purposes, and shows that other Moringa species could also be exploited for similar purposes. In particular, Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori has an interesting oil yield and higher resistance to pest and diseases, and Moringa stenopetala (Bak. f.) Cuf. is highlighted for its increased resistance to adverse climate conditions, of potential interest in a climate change scenario. Exploring adapted varieties or producing interspecies hybrids can create added value to these less explored species, while renewing attention to endangered species. Moringa seed oil can be extracted by conventional methods or using physical methods (pressing), creating diverse products from a compositional perspective, able to serve both the biodiesel and food industries.

Poor quality in turfgrass mowing is highlighted by the shredded leaf tips with necrotic tissues that give an unsightly brownish colour to the turf and may also lead to turf disease. Mowing quality is also typically assessed by visual rating, thus the score depends on the person doing the assessment. To make the evaluation of mowing quality not subjective, an innovative method was developed. The aim of the trial was to examine the effects of different mowing systems and two different nitrogen rates (100 and 200 kg ha−1) on two turfgrass species in order to test the new mowing quality calculation. Three different mowing systems were used: a battery-powered rotary mower set at 3000 rpm and 5000 rpm respectively and a gasoline-powered rotary mower set at full throttle. The battery-powered mower at low blade rpm produced a poorer mowing quality and turf quality than the gasoline-powered mower and battery-powered mower at high rpm, which produced a similar mowing quality and turf quality. Leaf tip damage level values showed a significant correlation with the results of the visual mowing quality assessment. Lower leaf tip damage level values (slightly above 1) corresponded to higher visual mowing quality scores (around 8).

A wealth of knowledge has been published in the last decade on redox regulations in plants. However, these works remained largely at cellular and organelle levels. Simple indicators of oxidative stress at the plant level are still missing. We developed a method for direct measurement of leaf Eh and pH, which revealed spatial, temporal, and genotypic variations in rice. Eh (redox potential) and Eh@pH7 (redox potential corrected to pH 7) of the last fully expanded leaf decreased after sunrise. Leaf Eh was high in the youngest leaf and in the oldest leaves, and minimum for the last fully expanded leaf. Leaf pH decreased from youngest to oldest leaves. The same gradients in Eh-pH were measured for various varieties, hydric conditions, and cropping seasons. Rice varieties differed in Eh, pH, and/or Eh@pH7. Leaf Eh increases and leaf pH decreases with plant age. These patterns and dynamics in leaf Eh-pH are in accordance with the pattern and dynamics of disease infections. Leaf Eh-pH can bring new insight on redox processes at plant level and is proposed as a novel indicator of plant stress/health. It could be used by agronomists, breeders, and pathologists to accelerate the development of crop cultivation methods leading to agroecological crop protection.
Effects of TaPHS1 and TaMKK3-A Genes on Wheat Pre-Harvest Sprouting Resistance

Published: October 2018

Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) constrains wheat production worldwide by reducing both wheat grain yield and end-use quality. TaPHS1 on wheat chromosome 3AS and TaMKK3-A on chromosome 4AL are two cloned genes with major effects on PHS resistance and they are independent from grain color (GC). In this study, we used marker-assisted backcrossing (MAB) to introgress TaPHS1 and TaMKK3-A from two PHS resistant sources—‘Tutoumai A’ and ‘AUS1408′—into a sprouting-susceptible white wheat line, NW97S186. Progeny were tested in four environments to investigate individual and combined effects of those two genes. TaPHS1 significantly reduced PHS and its effect on PHS varied with environments and gene sources. In contrast, the TaMKK3-A gene also significantly reduced PHS but its effectiveness was influenced by environments. The two genes had additive effects on PHS resistance, indicating pyramiding those two quantitative trait lici (QTLs) could increase PHS resistance. The additive effects were greater in a mild environment, such as a greenhouse, than in a dry and hot environment during maturation.
Sensing and Automation in Pruning of Apple Trees: A Review
Authors: He Long , Schupp James
Published: October 2018

Pruning is one of the most important tree fruit production activities, which is highly dependent on human labor. Skilled labor is in short supply, and the increasing cost of labor is becoming a big issue for the tree fruit industry. Meanwhile, worker safety is another issue in the manual pruning. Growers are motivated to seek mechanical or robotic solutions for reducing the amount of hand labor required for pruning. Identifying tree branches/canopies with sensors as well as automated operating pruning activity are the important components in the automated pruning system. This paper reviews the research and development of sensing and automated systems for branch pruning in apple production. Tree training systems, pruning strategies, 3D structure reconstruction of tree branches, and practice mechanisms or robotics are some of the developments that need to be addressed for an effective tree branch pruning system. Our study summarizes the potential opportunities for automatic pruning with machine-friendly modern tree architectures, previous studies on sensor development, and efforts to develop and deploy mechanical/robotic systems for automated branch pruning. We also describe two examples of qualified pruning strategies that could potentially simplify the automated pruning decision and pruning end-effector design. Finally, the limitations of current pruning technologies and other challenges for automated branch pruning are described, and possible solutions are discussed.
