ON THE ISSUE OF METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF HISTORIOGRAPHY IN THE 1990S (ON THE EXAMPLE OF PUBLICATIONS ABOUT THE “KHRUSHCHEV THAW”)
Authors: Velmozhko I. N.
Published: September 2020

The article is devoted to the study of methodological aspects of historiography of such a difficult period for Russian historical science as the 1990s. The changes that have taken place in our country in the last decade of the twentieth century have had an impact on all spheres of life, including the Russian historical science, which has ceased to be dominated by the principles of Marxist-Leninist ideology. For Russian historical science, the 1990s were a time of forming new methodological priorities, searching for scientific foundations, and general laws for the development of society. Despite all the difficulties, one of the most developed periods of Russian history at this time were the 50-60s of the twentieth century, the time for which the definition of “Khrushchev Thaw” was firmly established in historical science. Using the example of publications about the “Khrushchev Thaw”, the article analyzes the main trends characteristic of the historiography of the 1990s, shows their methodological features, and attempts to search for them by Russian historians

Authors: Renev E. G.
Published: September 2020

The article is devoted to the Izhevsk-Votkinsk workers’ revolt, which was the most powerful unrest against the Bolsheviks in 1918. The author analyzes the work of E.F. Shumilov “About Riot in the Quiet Izh River’s Area”. Shumilov’s book made a request for a new reading of the topic, in the basis of which, allegedly, there were new sources and new approaches to them. The author of the article argues that the new ideas of that book are not new in reality. The most among them have not solid foundation.
ESCAPE FROM THE DEATH CAMP, OR LUCKY BREAK OF PRISONER 13390 (BASED ON THE MEMOIRS OF LEONARD ZAWACKI)
Authors: Khodyachikh S. S.
Published: September 2020

The article analyzes the circumstances and conditions that led to the successful escape from the Auschwitz concentration camp of a group of Polish prisoners of war under the leadership of Leonard Zawacki, prisoner 13390. The escape was carried out on September 28, 1944 by a group of six prisoners of war, two of whom changed into SS uniforms and “escorted” four glaziers to work outside the camp. Zawacki’s memoirs, published in Poland in the form of a short-run pamphlet, as well as many hours of interviews in which he talked about his traumatic experience, life in imprisonment, partisan unit, and the very escape, are introduced into scientific circulation. Zawacki’s memoirs are a valuable source not only about the history of the World War II and the Holocaust, but also the deep experiences of a man who went through the hell of Auschwitz and survived against all odds.

Currently, furniture is used by every person and all working people in their lives. In office hours, it is necessary for the people to keep the furniture organized after the completion of meeting or event. Now a day’s every student, every employee and all the working people having rush in their life. So they forget to arrange their furniture in working space which will create bad look for professional environment and also affect the psychology. The common thoughts now a day in educational institutions is that after every laboratory session is over, the students left the chair unarranged and the corresponding lab assistant’s need to arrange the chairs after session is over in order to keep laboratory ready for the upcoming sessions. For this situation, in this paper we proposed a robotic chair which move automatically and follow the tag. These tags are predefined and fixed at valve or table. Whenever program runs these chairs automatically goes to the tag nearby and will aligned at its original position.

Published: September 2020

Subsea separation is an attractive and economic solution to develop deep offshore fields producing fluid without hydrate or wax. The subsea separation system should be reliable to ensure successful operation in a wide range of multiphase flow regime, without need for developments. A subsea separator can avoid or simplifying costly surface platforms of floating vessels, as well as being an efficient tool to enhance hydrocarbon production. One solution of interest is the separation and re-injection of water at the seabed to avoid bringing the water up to the surface facility. In this study, multiphase flow characteristics inside in-line type subsea separation system are investigated for the design of subsea separation system. The separation efficiency of the subsea separator is determined through experiments that are the liquid-gas phased separation. Also internal swirl element (ISE) modelling of the separator was optimized. The analysis results were utilized to improve the reliability and efficiency of the subsea separation system.

Published: September 2020

Dissimilar Friction Stir Welded T-joints gives auxiliary strength to engineering structures, keeping insignificantbody weight. Due to the stronger material being away from the heat source, the T-joint between AA8011 and AA5754 is very vulnerable to formation of defects which results in lower tensile strength along the skin and stringer. In this paper, two aluminium alloys, namely AA5754 and AA8011 were friction stir welded in the Tjoint configuration, and the roles of welding parameters such as the tool transverse speed, tool rotational speed, and tool shoulder diameter on the tensile strength along skin and stringer was analyzed and discussed. The relative importance of the three process parameters was also analyzed. The tool shoulder diameter is found to be the most
dominant factor for the strength along the skin, whereas, tool transverse speed is found to be the most important for the strength along stringer.

Published: September 2020

Integration of the Electronics modules in the rack system has been very challenging and critical in nature. The functionality of the electronics module is of prime importance for the operation on any system or subsystem. In many cases where these electronics systems housed in a rack system which in turn mounted in aircraft fuselage make functioning of the system more severe. This paper deals with design optimization of frame of rack structure in line with increasing demand of more robust and light structure with features of high stiffness and structural integrity. Aerospace industries employ topology , size and shape optimization technique and have reported
significant structural performance gains as a result ,This report deals with the topology optimization of frame of rack structure has been performed using OptiStruct software. The main objective is to find the optimal topology of frame of the rack. The rack structure has undergone the first level of optimization, in other word it is called
finite element analysis with inertia loading condition which presents the stress contour with varying stress level, the stress contour highlight the maximum and minimum stress level in the structure which gives the first level of information about the material requirement within the structure. Topology optimization being the part of the
structural optimization is the extended domain of the structural analysis where optimum placement of the material in the design space is the prime focus. The design space is a geometrical space where material alteration is effected to achieve the design objective. Topology optimization problems utilize the firmest mathematical basis, to account for improved weight-to-stiffness ratio and perceived aesthetic appeal of specific structural forms, enabling the Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization (SIMP) technique. Structural topology optimization is a technique for finding the optimum number, location and shape of opening with in the given design space of the rack structure
to the series of loads and the boundary conditions. A range of topology of rack frame is obtained by setting varying the target volume fraction and an optimum topology of the frame is selected by satisfying stress to weight ratio requirement and manufacturing constraint.

Published: September 2020

A centralized lubrication system is a system that delivers controlled amounts of lubricant to multiple locations on a machine while the machine is operating .The advantages of this new technology are clear although the heart of the automated lubrication system is the pump. The conventional pumps used are of fixed displacement type, thus the volume flow cannot be controlled hence they are not useful for the ALS. The Proposed precision control variable displacement pump is an innovative kinematic link base stroke changing mechanism that is controlled using an floating eccentric mechanism that can precisely vary the stroke of the mechanism and thus the pumping unit volume flow rate can be controlled. Project aims at development of the kinematic linkage for above said purpose. The analysis of the kinematic linkage parts will be done using ANSYS workbench 16.0, whereas the actual model that will be developed will be tested to determine the life cycle performance characteristics of the pump. The pump will be tested for fixed input speed and for multiple control positions

Published: September 2020

During the coronavirus pandemic, visualizations gained a new level of popularity and meaning for a wider audience. People were bombarded with a wide set of public health visualizations ranging from simple graphs to complex interactive dashboards. In a pandemic setting, where large amounts of the world population are socially distancing themselves, it becomes an urgent need to refine existing user experience evaluation methods for remote settings to understand how people make sense out of COVID-19 related visualizations. When evaluating visualizations aimed towards the general public with vastly different socio-demographic backgrounds and varying levels of technical savviness and data literacy, it is important to understand user feedback beyond aspects such as speed, task accuracy, or usability problems. As a part of this wider evaluation perspective, micro-phenomenology has been used to evaluate static and narrative visualizations to reveal the lived experience in a detailed way. Building upon these studies, we conducted a user study to understand how to employ Elicitation (aka Micro-phenomenological) interviews in remote settings. In a case study, we investigated what experiences the participants had with map-based interactive visualizations. Our findings reveal positive and negative aspects of conducting Elicitation interviews remotely. Our results can inform the process of planning and executing remote Elicitation interviews to evaluate interactive visualizations. In addition, we share recommendations regarding visualization techniques and interaction design about public health data.

Published: September 2020

The results of the predictive analytical studies on Covid-19 incidence dynamics in Moscow, taking into account different changes in epidemic prevention measures, including vaccination coverage of the population, are presented.Research Objective. Using the new epidemiological model for analysis and prediction of the Covid-19 incidence dynamics in Moscow and outlining main strategies in implementing epidemic prevention measures (EPMs), including vaccination in 2020/2021.Materials and methods. The epidemiological model is based on the Russian approach to mathematical modeling of epidemics, known as Epiddynamics. The medium-term forecasting incorporated probable scenarios of epidemic development with different EPMs (isolation of the infected and contacts, breaking the transmission chains), including different rates of vaccination coverage in Moscow.Results and discussion. The computational simulations demonstrated that the incidence rate is likely to increase with scaling down EPMs and zero vaccination coverage. At the same time, the daily incidence rate depends on the degree of EPMs reduction and basically does not depend on the time when the reduction begins. With scaled-down EPMs, vaccination can decrease the incidence, though its effectiveness will depend on the time of its commencement, coverage and rate.Conclusion. The computational simulations showed that the vaccination will be efficient for prevention of new surges in COVID-19 cases only if the other EPMs (isolation of the infected and contacts, breaking the transmission chains) are still in place until the vaccination coverage reaches about 2 million people. Ideally, the measures aimed at isolation and breaking of transmission chains should be continued until the total vaccination coverage reaches 4 million people, after which the restrictive measures can be scaled down significantly. With vaccination coverage of 50% of the population of Moscow, the restrictive measures can be completely discontinued.

Published: September 2020

Introduction. Chickenpox poses a significant public health concern due to its worldwide occurrence, a substantial probability of severe clinical progression, development of complications that can lead to a fatal outcome. Routine vaccination is the only way to prevent the disease. The purpose of this study was to assess the attenuation of cold-adapted (CA) candidate virus strains of Varicella zoster and Herpes zoster by using traditional and new methods.Materials and methods. The study was performed on strains of diploid cells from human embryonic lung and musculocutaneous tissue, primary and diploid cells of guinea pig fetal fibroblasts. Two clinical isolates of the virus were obtained — from a child with chickenpox and from an adult during the reactivation of shingles. The vOka vaccine strain and Ellen strain, a laboratory strain, were used as a control. The viral infectivity was measured by using a sensitive limiting dilution assay. The virulence was measured through the analysis of chick embryo chorioallantoic membranes infected with the Varicella zoster virus.Results. The clinical isolates were sub-cultured at lower temperatures, put through comparative tests and checked for presence of attenuation biomarkers. It was found that vFiraVax, a Varicella zoster virus strain, and vZelVax, a Herpes zoster virus strain were temperature-sensitive and cold-adaptable, but they lacked virulence. Attenuated CA virus strains induced lower expression of IFN-α and IFN-γ receptors on human mononuclear cells as compared to their parental variants.Conclusion. We created and assessed two candidate vaccine strains through attenuation of clinical isolates.

Introduction. An increasing incidence of pertussis among different groups of population and shortcomings of the existing preventive solutions pinpoint urgency of development of new safe vaccines suitable for immunization of infants and for booster immunization of adolescents and adults.The purpose of this study is evaluation of safety, immunogenicity and protective activity of the new constructed attenuated Bordetella pertussis bacteria 4MKS by infecting immunized Macaca mulatta monkeys intranasally with virulent bacteria of the pertussis pathogen.Materials and methods. Five adult, clinically healthy Macaca mulatta monkeys aged 3–4 years were used for immunization and experimental infection. The re-immunization was performed in 6 months. Three non-immunized animals of the same age were used as controls.Results. The intranasal single-dose inoculation and re-inoculation of attenuated B. pertussis bacteria did not cause any nasopharyngeal inflammation in the rhesus monkeys and any changes in the blood lab test values after the nonhuman primates had been infected with virulent bacteria. No elevation of total IgE was detected in blood serum of the Macaca mulatta monkeys after the single-dose and double-dose immunization. When the monkeys were intranasally immunized with attenuated and virulent B. pertussis bacteria, they developed a defensive reaction to re-infection, namely suppression of the bacterial growth, increased rates of elimination of bacteria from the animals’ nasopharynxes and development of a humoral immune response to the infection. The development of immunity against pertussis re-infection is accompanied by a pronounced booster effect.Discussion. The obtained results suggest common mechanisms of development both of post-vaccination immunity after intranasal vaccination of animals and infection-acquired immunity against pertussis. Both of them provide protection against re-infection with B. pertussis bacteria and prevent development of clinical symptoms of pertussis.

Introduction. The study of the protein composition of the causative agent of anthrax — Bacillus anthracis, allows you to identify both general species and individual characteristics of strains that differ in phenotypic properties, manifested mainly in the vegetative form and which are important for virulence, immunogenicity and the ability to adapt to different vegetation conditions.Purpose of the work. In the group of anthrax microbe strains having different plasmid composition and virulence, different methods of extraction of the total proteome from vegetative bacillus cells have been tested.Results. In the course of the work, it was shown that the rate of spore formation varies significantly between individual strains of the anthrax microbe and can have a significant impact on the efficiency of extraction and the composition of the protein complex. Preliminary treatment with lysozyme, which affects the cell membrane, promotes a more complete lysis of cells, and ultramicrocentrifuge filtration provides complete specific sterility of the obtained samples.Conclusion. A culture preparation scheme was developed for B. anthracis, which allows one to obtain a culture in the vegetative phase of the life cycle and to efficiently extract proteins in combination with reliable disinfection of samples.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. Approaches to pathogenetic therapy of COVID-19
Authors: Shatunova Polina O. , Bykov Anatoly S. , Svitich Oksana A. , Zverev Vitaly V.
Published: September 2020

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is a pathogen causing the coronavirus infection that culminated in a worldwide pandemic in 2020. It belongs to β-coronaviruses and has high genetic similarity to the SARS-CoV virus that is responsible for an outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome in 2002–2003. The analysis of molecular interactions shows that SARS-CoV-2 has higher virulence due to lower binding free energy in interaction with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), which is used by the virus to enter the host cell. At the time of the global coronavirus pandemic, the thorough study of ACE2 as a key component of the disease pathogenesis comes to the fore. The detailed study of the enzyme, which is a receptor located on the surface of different tissues and which normally catalyzes the conversion of angiotensin II to angiotensin (1–7), led to diverging conclusions. Being non-tissue specific, the receptor is abundantly present in the heart, kidneys, small intestine, testes, thyroid, and adipose tissue. Besides regulating blood pressure, it suppresses inflammation, mainly in the lung tissue, participates in amino acid transport and maintains the activity of the gut microbiome. With all its essential positive functions, the role of ACE2 is highly ambiguous, specifically in coronavirus infection. The influence on the renin-angiotensin system can be seen as a promising therapeutic route in treatment of coronavirus infection. The preliminary data on using of ACE2 inhibitors, soluble forms of ACE2, and angiotensin II receptor blockers demonstrate their effectiveness and, consequently, improvement in symptoms and prognoses for patients with coronavirus infection. The review presents information about ACE2 distribution in human tissues, explores its interaction with SARS-CoV-2, provides a theoretical basis for medications involving ACE2 metabolic pathways and for using them in treatment of coronavirus infection and its prevention.
A modern view of pro-/eukaryote interactions in the human body as the basis for development of next-generation probiotics
Authors: Mikhailova Natalia A. , Voevodin Dmitry A. , Lazarev Sergey A.
Published: September 2020

Multicellular organisms and the saprophytic flora form complex, highly integrated chimeric systems (associative symbioses, metaorganisms) characterized by interplay between pro- and eukaryotic components. To be able to interact symbiotically microorganisms (MO) need a whole body.When grown on artificial media for a long time, symbiotic MO have to adapt to the artificial environment and gradually, though reversibly, lose their ability of associative interaction with the human body, thus causing a decrease in the therapeutic efficacy of MO-derived probiotic products. To increase the therapeutic activity of probiotic MO, they must be functionally rehabilitated.A pathological process induces development of a secondary metabolic dysbiosis; as a result, changes in the regulatory processes of an individual interfere with the restoration of the normal microflora. Therefore, functional rehabilitation of probiotic MO must take place during cultivation, while the cultivation process must replicate the whole-body conditions.

Introduction. Rotavirus infection (RVI) is the most common cause of severe gastroenteritis in infants and young children worldwide: 600,000 children die annually; it accounts for approximately 3 million hospitalizations and 25 million physician visits each year among children. Preventive vaccination is universally recognized as the most effective measure against this infection.The purpose of the study is assessment of reactogenicity, safety and immunogenicity of the pentavalent live vaccine for RVI prevention in childhood immunization.Materials and methods. The first multicenter prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of the pentavalent live vaccine for RVI prevention was conducted in Russia among healthy infants aged 2 months at the time of the first vaccination.Results. The vaccine had a satisfactory safety profile and high immunologic activity when administered in a threedose series for childhood immunization. No negative changes in the children’s health condition were detected during the surveillance monitoring.Discussion. The seroconversion rates, the seroconversion factor and the geometric mean antibody titer were consistent with the results obtained during trials of the above vaccine and its equivalents in other countries.
Myasthenia Gravis in Pregnancy Treated With Daily Massive Vitamin D Dose
Authors: LFF Silva , MC Martins , MC Caplum , MS Luz , VM Amaral , VA de Souza , ALM Silva , CR Panconi , JB Zimmermmann
Published: September 2020

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease affecting the motor endplate of striated muscle. It is caused by antibodies that act in the cholinergic receptors at the post-synaptic portion of the neuromuscular junction, which results in asthenia and fatigue in some muscle groups. In pregnancy, it’s unpredictable, because pregnant women can present MG exacerbation, remission, stability, or even a myasthenic crisis during pregnancy. Complications are more frequent in the first trimester of pregnancy and the first 30 days of puerperium. Vitamin D and its metabolites are potent immunomodulators since their immuno-regulatory effect directly inhibits effector T cells and induces regulatory T cells (Treg) to decrease the production of inflammatory cytokines. The authors present a case report of a patient with MG who was treated throughout pregnancy with massive doses of vitamin D, obtaining good results.
Exterior Artificial Pancreas Project
Authors: C Beretas
Published: September 2020

Objective: Pump size exterior artificial pancreas that will keep the glucose between 120 – 150mg/dl.

Method: The whole project based on the idea that we should already know one insulin unit how much is able to go down the glucose and one glucagons unit how much is able to increase the glucose. Less than 120 mg/dl it uses glucagons. More than 150 mg/dl it uses insulin. The pump checks the glucose automatically for every 8 minutes. The pump (which is software decision) will choose between insulin or glucagons base in an internal database table with prerequisite glucose values and the insulin or glucagons units requiring for each glucose value (adaptive database table for each diabetic). The pump (the software) is able to choose how many insulin or glucagon units it should use (that is not based on what the diabetic will eat, but base on the current glucose level that received from the sensor which is located in the human body, needle and sensor are one piece). The insulin should have a work duration of 8 minutes and works instantly.

Result: I choose 120 mg/dl as the lowest allowance glucose level as this level is secure for the diabetic (there is a time to prevent big hypoglycemia).

Conclusion: This project offers to diabetics insulin injections freedom, hypoglycemia prevention, run emergency tests, ideally for all ages, endocrinologists will have the software to adapt the internal database table of the pump for each diabetic needs.

Authors: H Bando
Published: September 2020

Currently, major categories of antihypertensive agents include diuretics, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers (CCBs), renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitors [angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB)]. Among them, RAS (ACE inhibitors and ARB) would be recommended to be a first-line treatment when providing antihypertensive agents for hypertensive patients with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and impaired renal function. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) of RAS inhibitors compared with other antihypertensive showed a rather lower relative risk (RR). They are all-cause death (RR – 0.95), cardiovascular death (RR – 0.84), incidence of cardiovascular disease (RR – 0.93), and incidence of renal dysfunction (RR – 0.91).

Authors: P Stephen
Published: September 2020

We know that Corona Virus develops in animals, birds and humans’ body. Now it is a pandemic and many people are dying with each passing day and the number of patients is increasing every hour.

If we do not control it then it is dangerous for humanity. As we know the incubation period for COVID-19 is 1 to 14 days and it’s live in the environment for 12 to 14 hours. The only solution to the spread of the virus is by social distancing.

As we know that it affects the person with low immunity so it is advised for all people to have a balanced diet, exercise daily and spend time in meditation for increasing immunity. I want to share a natural method to develop and increase the immunity power by the bile juice of animals, birds and we can try for corona virus too.

Authors: H Ndetan , C Hawk , W Evans , T Tanue , K Singh
Published: September 2020

Objective: To estimate the use of chiropractic care and perceived value for spinal conditions.

Methods: National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data from the Sample Adult for 1997, 2002, 2007 and 2012 and the Adult Alternative Medicine for 2002, 2007, and 2012 files were analyzed. National Population Estimates (NPE) was generated by applying the complete survey design structure. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were generated to explore the likelihood that the respondents reporting spine-related problems would see Doctors of Chiropractic (DC) or other providers compared to those reporting no spine-related problems.

Results: Reported use of chiropractic increased from 7.61% in 1997 to 10.11% in 2012 (p-value<0.001); the NPE increased by 8,023,162 adults. The OR of seeing a DC among those with the spine-related complaint was significantly higher (ranging over time from 4.31 to 3.09) than other providers, except in 2012 in which physical therapists were highest. For respondents reporting spine-related complaints, the OR was 2.40 (95%CI=1.28-4.50) for using chiropractic compared to osteopathic manipulation. Respondents with spine-related conditions were more likely to have a DC as their personal healthcare provider [OR(95%CI=3.48(2.60-4.65)]. Over 96% of those who did reported that it helped and were less likely to report using prescription medication [OR(95%CI) = 0.44(0.35-0.55)], over-the-counter medication [OR(95%CI) = 0.80(0.65-0.99)], surgery [OR(95%CI) = 0.35(0.23-0.52)], or physical therapy [OR(95%CI)=0.50(0.40-0.63)]. They were less likely to report receiving a recommendation from a medical doctor to seek chiropractic manipulation [n=224 (19.15%); OR(95%CI=0.49(0.39-0.62)].

Conclusion: The general use of chiropractic in the United States is slowly increasing but utilization is still low compared to that of primary care providers like MDs and NPs. A majority of NHIS 2012 respondents with spine-related problems used chiropractic manipulation for treatment and those who did were more likely to report that it helped and less likely to report using prescription and over-the-counter medications, surgery or physical therapy. Yet chiropractic care was hardly being recommended by medical doctors.
THE METAPHYSICAL UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT OF ALLAH
Authors: Md. Mujibullah
Published: September 2020

The words ‘Allah and Islam’ have an uninterrupted relation when we discuss about the perspectives of Islam. Allah creates everything including the religion called ‘Islam’. It is an inevitable to mention Allah’s words and Prophet Muhammad’s traditions (Pbuh) whenever discussing in respect of any theme within the parameters of Islam. Allah is a supreme being who creates and controls each and every beings and non-beings. He is one and only. There is nothing like Him. Neither He is given birth nor does He give birth. His existence is eternal and He settles in the lofty chair above the seventh heaven. Allah has ninety names which ultimately give His eternal attributes and the omnipresent, omniscience, the creator are the some of His attributes.

Altmetrics is one of the recent impact measures to measure all sources of information without bias or exception. These measurements are completely dependent on the Web 2.0 environment to track posts, comments and public discussions around research products in the social media, as they are not only based on reference citations that are considered in the traditional measurements but considered them as one of the factors in a variety of other measurements. Since the start of talking about these measurements, a number of services and tools have emerged which are developed continuously. Like any new field, it has its supporters and opponents due to the restrictions, problems and manipulations that face the application of these measurements. That is why this study targeted the concept of altmetrics and the advantages of their application, the expected disadvantages behind their use, as well as the methods of manipulation used by researchers and publishers and ways to confront them. The researcher has depended on documentary approach to discuss the topic of altmetrics, and then explain the related terms, and describe them accurately. This study found that the altmetrics is one of the new measurements as a branch of the scientometrics stemming from the informetrics. It mainly focuses on capturing, collecting and analyzing data of the impact of research products on the web environment. Therefore, this study recommends the necessity of concerting the efforts of the academic and research institutions to spread awareness of the use and the application of altmetrics in the academic community, as well as encourages the researchers to publish and share their researches on social media platforms.

Published: September 2020

There are many complaints from the users and decision-makers towards the electronic information services as well as the delay in these services in the electronic business application programs at the informatics institutes. This indicates the low levels in the quality of performance of business application programs. The study has aimed to define the quality standards for electronic business application programs, to measure the quality levels and the importance of each performance standard, knowing the dissatisfaction of the users about the technical services and applications provided by the application programs, to determine the factors, and the reasons that affect the performance and the lack of user satisfaction, and to identify technical services and applications that are provided by business application programs in informatics institutions.The descriptive approach and the analytical method were adopted in the study, and a set of measurements are used to find out the statistics such as the end central limit theory, and Z and T testes. This paper has adapted new model with seven main standards including sixteen sub-standards to measure the level of the application standard quality of electronic business application programs as well as their importance at work. The results showed that the level of interest was directed to six main criteria with a high degree of importance, such as the criterion of flexibility, reliability, accuracy, speed of response and the criterion of achieving goals, while the criterion of inclusivity has obtained an important level. As for the performance level corresponding to all the criteria, it was low to medium (1-3 of five degrees representing the level of performance for the quality of the systems), with the exception of the reliability and confidence standard of the information provided, which can be approximated to the high performance level, with malfunctions in the electronic work of the systems with attempts to fix the existing malfunction. Finally, a set of recommendations was developed.
