Abstract. Sunaryo W, Wahida, Idris SD, Pratama AN, Ratanasut K, Nurhasanah. 2020. Genetic relationships among cultivated and wild bananas from East Kalimantan, Indonesia based on ISSR markers. Biodiversitas 21: 824-832. East Kalimantan is one of biodiversity centers for banana in Indonesia including wild or cultivated bananas. This biodiversity is long-historical genetically contributed by the existence of wild cultivars, local/indigenous varieties or introduced accessions from other regions in Indonesia. The existence of cultivated bananas has played an important role in the socio-economic significance of the local people. The genetic contribution of wild and local banana from East Kalimantan to the cultivated bananas or vice versa is very interesting to study. This research reported the genetic relationships among wild and cultivated bananas using Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) markers. Thirteen wild and cultivated banana samples collected from different districts of East Kalimantan Province were analyzed using 15 primers of ISSR marker. ISSR primers generated 133 loci, of which 132 were polymorphic (98.98 %) with an average of 9.43 loci per primer. The ISSR marker is very effective and powerful to detect and discriminate the polymorphisms among cultivated and wild bananas. This is supported by PIC value which ranged from 0.60 to 0.91 per primer with an average of 0.80 per primer. The marker index (MI) values were ranged from 1.62 to 11.48 per primer. Primer UBC 855 produced the highest MI value which was 11.48 per primer and UBC 848 resulted in the lowest (1.62 per primer). The similarity coefficients ranged from 0.43 to 0.81. The dendrogram constructed based on UPGMA divided the banana cultivars into 4 clusters, in which the first cluster comprised of the AA/AAA/AB genome bananas (Ambon, Kapas, Tembaga, Liar, and Tanduk). The second cluster composed of only Mauli Banana. The third cluster was comprised of six cultivated banana with AAB or ABB genome i.e., Raja, Rutai, Susu, Kepok, Awak, and Talas banana. The last cluster was only Klutuk Banana (BB genome). Wild bananas (Liar and Klutuk) was the ancestor of cultivated bananas since they contributed for A genome (Musa acuminate) and B genome (Musa balbisiana) to generate many triploid and cultivated bananas. Indigenous banana cultivars from Kalimantan, Rutai is closely related to Susu banana, while Talas banana is related to the AAB genome such as Raja, Rutai, Susu or ABB genome such as Awak and Kepok.
Research on pose estimation for stereo vision measurement system by an improved method: uncertainty weighted stereopsis pose solution method based on projection vector
Authors: Cui Jiashan , Min Changwan , Feng Dongzhu
Published: February 2020

We present UWSPSM, an algorithm of uncertainty weighted stereopsis pose solution method based on the projection vector which to solve the problem of pose estimation for stereo vision measurement system based on feature points. Firstly, we use a covariance matrix to represent the direction uncertainty of feature points, and utilize projection matrix to integrate the direction uncertainty of feature points into stereo-vision pose estimation. Then, the optimal translation vector is solved based on the projection vector of feature points, as well the depth is updated by the projection vector of feature points. In the absolute azimuth solution stage, the singular value decomposition algorithm is used to calculate the relative attitude matrix, and the above two stages are iteratively performed until the result converges. Finally, the convergence of the proposed algorithm is proved, from the theoretical point of view, by the global convergence theorem. Expanded into stereo-vision, the fixed relationship constraint between cameras is introduced into the stereoscopic pose estimation, so that only one pose parameter of the two images captured is optimized in the iterative process, and the two cameras are better bound as a camera, it can improve accuracy and efficiency while enhancing measurement reliability. The experimental results show that the proposed pose estimation algorithm can converge quickly, has high-precision and good robustness, and can tolerate different degrees of error uncertainty. So, it has useful practical application prospects.

Published: February 2020

Non-uniform self-heating and temperature hotspots are major concerns compromising the performance and reliability of submicron electronic and optoelectronic devices. At deep submicron scales where effects such as contact-related artifacts and diffraction limits accurate measurements of temperature hotspots, non-contact thermal characterization can be extremely valuable. In this work, we use a Bayesian optimization framework with generalized Gaussian Markov random field (GGMRF) prior model to obtain accurate full-field temperature distribution of self-heated metal interconnects from their thermoreflectance thermal images (TRI) with spatial resolution 2.5 times below Rayleigh limit for 530nm illumination. Finite element simulations along with TRI experimental data were used to characterize the point spread function of the optical imaging system. In addition, unlike iterative reconstruction algorithms that use ad hoc regularization parameters in their prior models to obtain the best quality image, we used numerical experiments and finite element modeling to estimate the regularization parameter for solving a real experimental inverse problem.
Influence of temporal averaging in the performance of a rotating retarder imaging Stokes polarimeter
Authors: Lizana Ángel , Campos Juan , Van Eeckhout Albert , Márquez Andrés
Published: February 2020

We study the optimum operating conditions for a rotating retarder fixed polarizer (RRFP) when the measurements are not quasi-instantaneous but time-averaged. We obtain the optimum retardance and retarder orientations as a function of the integrated angle interval. We also study how the increase in the number of time-averaged measurements leads to a better equally weighted variance (EWV) value, and thus, to a better performance of the polarimeter in terms of noise amplification for the case of additive noise. Two different analyzers configurations are studied in this work: uniformly spaced retarder angles and when measurements are taken at optimum angles (non-uniformly spaced angles). We also consider the case of polychromatic illumination. We discuss the best measurement conditions in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio depending on whether there is a fixed or a limited amount of photons per measurement.
Current sensor based on an integrated micro-ring resonator and superparamagnetic nanoparticles
Authors: Luo Mandan , Yang Qing , He Yanxiao , Liu Renyuan
Published: February 2020

An ultra-small integrated photonic current sensor based on a silicon micro-ring resonator (MRR) with a cladding layer of Fe3O4 superparamagnetic nanoparticles (SPNPs) is demonstrated. In the magnetic field generated by an alternating current, the Fe3O4 SPNPs lose energy and change the MRR temperature, which leads to a spectral shift in the MRR transmission. The sensor was demonstrated with good linearity in the frequency range 0–60 kHz and current amplitudes from 0 to 0.5 A. This work provides a basis for integrated micro-current sensors, and promotes the development of photoelectric sensors on silicon substrates.
GeSn resonant-cavity-enhanced photodetectors for efficient photodetection at the 2  µm wavelength band

Published: February 2020

The 2 µm wavelength band has recently gained increased attention for
potential applications in next-generation optical communication.
However, it is still challenging to achieve effective photodetection
in the 2 µm wavelength band using group-IV-based semiconductors. Here
we present an investigation of GeSn resonant-cavity-enhanced
photodetectors (RCEPDs) on silicon-on-insulator substrates for
efficient photodetection in the 2 µm wavelength band. Narrow-bandgap
GeSn alloys are used as the active layer to extend the photodetection
range to cover the 2 µm wavelength band, and the optical responsivity
is significantly enhanced by the resonant cavity effect as compared to
a reference GeSn photodetector. Temperature-dependent experiments
demonstrate that the GeSn RCEPDs can have a wider photodetection range
and higher responsivity in the 2 µm wavelength band at higher
temperatures because of the bandgap shrinkage. These results suggest
that our GeSn RCEPDs are promising for complementary
metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible, efficient, uncooled optical
receivers in the 2 µm wavelength band for a wide range of
applications.

A setup for an optical triangular-shaped pulse train with variable symmetry is proposed. The key component is an I/Q (I: in-phase, Q: quadrature phase) modulator. By properly setting the three variables, the optical intensity can be expressed by the sum of infinite sinusoidal harmonics, which indicates the possibility to approximate the asymmetrical waveform. It is found that the scheme is capable for generating an optical triangular-shaped pulse train with a tunable symmetrical coefficient (

We present brain imaging experiments on rat cortical areas, demonstrating that, when combined with a suitable high-brightness, cell-specific genetically encoded fluorescent marker, three-photon-excited fluorescence (3PEF), enables subcellular-resolution, cell-specific 3D brain imaging that is fully compatible and readily integrable with other nonlinear-optical imaging modalities, including two-photon-fluorescence and harmonic-generation microscopy. With laser excitation provided by sub-100-fs, 1.25-µm laser pulses, cell-specific 3PEF from astrocytes and their processes detected in parallel with a three-photon-resonance-enhanced third harmonic from blood vessels is shown to enable a high-contrast 3D imaging of gliovascular interfaces.
Entering Academic Advising

Published: February 2020

Primary-role academic advisors come to the field from a wide variety of social, academic, and vocational backgrounds.  There are likely a wide variety of ways in which these advisors are socialized for the work of academic advising and in the larger community of practice of advising.  However, advisors’ professional identity development is under-studied, and this lack of understanding is an impediment to the emergence of advising as a profession. This article presents findings on professional socialization from a larger collaborative autoethnographic study of advisor professional identity. We present a collaborative analysis of our reflections on becoming primary-role advisors which includes nine interconnecting themes in an emerging substantive theory of advisor professional socialization. Though it is not generalizable, our model is a proposal on which future research can build.
MULTIPLE CRITERIA EVALUATION OF ASSEMBLING BUILDINGS FROM STEEL FRAME STRUCTURES
Authors: Miniotaite Ruta
Published: February 2020

Steel frame structures are often used in the construction of public and industrial buildings. They are used for: all types of slope roofs; walls of newly-built public and industrial buildings; load bearing structures; roofs of renovated buildings. The process of assembling buildings from steel frame structures should be analysed as an integrated process influenced by such factors as construction materials and machinery used, the qualification level of construction workers, complexity of work, available finance. It is necessary to find a rational technological design solution for assembling buildings from steel frame structures by conducting a multiple criteria analysis. The analysis provides a possibility to evaluate the engineering considerations and find unequivocal solutions. The rational alternative of a complex process of assembling buildings from steel frame structures was found through multiple criteria analysis and multiple criteria evaluation. In multiple criteria evaluation of technological solutions for assembling buildings from steel frame structures by pairwise comparison method the criteria by significance are distributed as follows: durability is the most important criterion in the evaluation of alternatives; the price (EUR/unit of measurement) of a part of assembly process; construction workers’ qualification level (category); mechanization level of a part of assembling process (%), and complexity of assembling work (in points) are less important criteria.
SUBMERGED CONCRETE CAISSON BREAKWATER CONSTRUCTION
Authors: Magallanes Alvin , Sullivan Ben , Moores Andrew , Singh Amarjit
Published: February 2020

After numerical and physical modeling, and alternate analysis, the proposed solution to mitigate wave energies entering Kahului Harbor, Maui was to construct a submerged concrete caisson breakwater, just outside the harbor that would economically improve the harbor tranquility and be environmentally friendly. One of the major challenges of this project is that construction is to be completed over a five-month period, during the summer months, when there are no swells. This requires as much prefabrication as possible, detailed planning, and precise scheduling. Construction of the individual caisson units is proposed to take place in a dry dock, cast in a single pour to avoid cold joints. On completion, it will be floated and tugged away from the dry dock and placed onto a heavy lift vessel and transported to its installation site at Kahului. Various alternate methods of transportation were studied and discarded. Also proposed is the transplantation and seeding of coral fragments on the caisson units to enhance the durability and increase the longevity of the submerged breakwater. This submerged breakwater caisson project will be the first of its kind for mitigating wave energies entering a harbor. This paper aims to present a viable construction methodology.

Authors: Jiundar Ong , Hassan Lokman
Published: February 2020

The West Coast Expressway is approximately 315.8 km in length and is separated into 15 sections of varying lengths. The concessionaire is West Coast Expressway Sdn. Bhd. Jacobs was involved in Section 4, totaling 5.59 km in length and including 7 directional ramps. These structures feature a new ‘Super U-Beam’ section whereas standard pre-tensioned precast beams such as the ‘inverted T’, ‘I’, ‘M’ and ‘U’ beams are typical options for span lengths ranging from 25 m to 40 m. The ‘Super’ U-beams are larger than standard U-beams and feature wide flanges. This arrangement results in a significant reduction in the number of beams necessary as well as a reduction in all the major material quantities. This paper will further discuss the technical details and advantages of the new ‘Super U-Beam’.

Published: February 2020

The advancement of the construction industry in Indonesia is often not accompanied with adequate infrastructure system, especially in terms of regulations and legal system. The enactment of Law no 80–1999 has contributed to the expansion of construction market by allowing the private sector, including those from overseas, to play bigger roles in the industry. Although strongly acknowledged by stakeholders in the industry, the progress made by the government and the practitioner in the industry to response to the needs for more appropriate actions to cope with this ever increasingly complex system has been very slow. The dynamic of the construction industry in the region has changed the formerly rigid government-dominated construction sector to become an intricate one. The impact of such dynamic in the industry has been apparent. In particular, construction disputes have been experiencing changing in the dynamic of the way the disputes were handled; from the traditional litigation approach toward modern alternative dispute resolution mechanism. While litigation remains the dominant construction dispute resolution mechanism, nonlitigation approaches such as arbitration and dispute review board are beginning to gain recognition in industry. This paper presents a study on the development of anatomy of construction dispute in Indonesia, which will serve as a framework for analyzing the dynamic of construction disputes in Indonesia. Such a framework will help to identify factors affecting construction dispute mechanism, from the initiation of disputes to the resolution. The anatomy is developed based on analysis of construction dispute cases that have been recorded in judicial courts as well as from Indonesian Arbitration Board.

Published: February 2020

The concept of microbial concrete is one of the recent advances in concrete technology. In the past two decades, concrete technologies are working towards developing high performance concrete. Researches over the globe are being carried out in the wake of promising results found on the improvement of cementitious mix performances due to the application of live microorganisms. In this research live microorganism named Sporosarcina pasteurii, soil bacterium, has been used. Different set of experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of the bacterial medium, bacterial nutrient and bacterial concentration. From the test results it was found out that the bacterial medium had little effect, while the bacterial nutrient, whose main constituent is yeast extract, significantly reduced the compressive strength and increased the flow table as well as the slump in both mortar and concrete. Those samples with aforementioned bacteria together with the bacterial nutrient showed an improved compressive strength. The micro behaviors observed in terms of compressive strength indicate that this gain of strength was due to the calcite precipitation induced by the bacteria. The paper concludes by stating the need of further investigation, especially with regards to finding a better substitute for yeast extract of the bacterial nutrient.

Quality has been the main issue in construction projects. In handling it, the quality control techniques during construction process are required to thoroughly carry out in order to avoid any mistakes which lead to bigger problem such as poor quality of project outcomes. The implementation of quality control techniques during site inspection is able to discard all possible negative effects towards construction projects. There are three quality control techniques that have been used during site inspection known as Project Quality Plan (PQP), Inspection Test Plan (ITP) and Checklist. In order to implement these techniques, there are some matters that need to be identified and overcome. Therefore, this study has been carried out to identify the challenges in implementation of quality control techniques during site inspection. To achieve the objective, the survey questionnaire was distributed among G5, G6 and G7 contractors’ in Malaysia. A total of 82 useable questionnaires were received and analysed using factor analysis. The challenges were clumped and categorized into respective groups. The seven groups were renamed, namely: (1) attitude, (2) documents, (3) operations, (4) management, (5) workers, (6) information and (7) methods.

This study examines the influence of job dissatisfaction on absenteeism and employee turnover. This is because it has been observed that many construction projects are facing challenges relating to the delivering of defective work, delayed project completion and cost overruns in most cases; and job dissatisfaction has been identified as one of the factors contributing to these challenges encountered in the construction industry. The study was conducted with reference to existing theoretical literature (secondary data) and the use of a structured questionnaire survey for the primary data collection. The questionnaire survey was distributed amongst construction professional in the South African construction industry. The findings from the questionnaire survey revealed that the aspects associated with job dissatisfaction which brings about absenteeism and employee low productivity include: salary issues, incentives, professional growth, working relationship as well as enforcement of fair policies. These factors were rated by the study respondents as the most influential factors of absenteeism and employee turnover in the South African construction industry. This study contributes to the body of knowledge relating to the influence of job dissatisfaction on absenteeism and employee turnover in the South African construction industry.

Published: February 2020

Niniejszy artykuł poświęcony jest stanowisku władz Unii Europejskiej i jej głównych organów w sprawie koniecznych dla Unii reform, które są niezbędne, aby stała się ona siłą motoryczną w dalszym procesie integracji Europy. Jego celem jest analiza obecnej kondycji UE i zarysowanie perspektyw jej rozwoju. Główne organy Unii, m.in. Komisja i Parlament Europejski oraz Rada Europejska w ostatnich latach zgłosiły wiele różnych strategii i propozycji „naprawy” UE, ale niewiele z nich zostało wprowadzonych w życie. Unia Europejska wciąż dryfuje i traci swój autorytet na arenie międzynarodowej, a integracja Europy przeżywa regres. W opracowaniu tym stawiam kilka tez, hipotez i pytań badawczych, na które próbuję udzielić w miarę wyczerpujących odpowiedzi. Jedna z tych tez dotyczy wielkiego rozszerzenia UE w 2004 roku, a druga wprowadzenia wspólnej waluty – euro.
Radykalna myśl polityczna a bezpieczeństwo europejskich demokracji. Przykład nacjonalizmu antysystemowego
Authors: Malendowicz Paweł
Published: February 2020

Głównym zagadnieniem artykułu jest radykalna myśl polityczna, analizowana w kontekście bezpieczeństwa współczesnych demokracji europejskich. W artykule problem ten jest analizowany na przykładzie programów partii i innych organizacji, które uzasadniają swoją myśl polityczną nacjonalizmem, np. Narodowodemokratyczna Partia Niemiec, Narodowe Odrodzenie Polski, Złoty Świt z Grecji, Nowa Siła z Włoch, Brytyjska Partia Narodowa, Prawy Sektor i Swoboda z Ukrainy oraz innych. Radykalne partie nacjonalistyczne podważają zasady współczesnych demokracji. Dążą do zmiany ładu międzynarodowego i granic państw w Europie, które istnieją od końca II wojny światowej. Zdaniem autora, jedynym skutecznym lekarstwem na radykalizm polityczny jest rozwój wiedzy o demokracji, rozwój społeczeństwa obywatelskiego, eliminowanie materialnych różnic między grupami społecznymi i rozwój klasy średniej w Europie.

Przedmiotem analizy są okoliczności i postawa NATO wobec polityki militarnej Rosji na Ukrainie. W artykule omówiono zagadnienia takie jak relacje między NATO i Rosją po zimnej wojnie, relacje między NATO i Ukrainą po zimnej wojnie oraz reakcja Sojuszu na politykę militarną Rosji na Ukrainie. Artykuł ma dać odpowiedź na pytanie czy reakcja NATO była odpowiednia i wystarczająco zdecydowana, żeby zabezpieczyć przed Rosją państwa wschodniej flanki NATO, skutecznie zniechęcić ją do prowokacji wobec członków Sojuszu oraz zmusić do zmiany polityki wobec Ukrainy? Działania podjęte przez NATO w odpowiedzi na politykę militarną Rosji na Ukrainie koncentrują się na wzmocnieniu bezpieczeństwa i potwierdzeniu gotowości do kolektywnej obrony członków Sojuszu. Pomoc Ukrainie ma charakter wtórny i ograniczony, a jej skala jest niewystarczająca, aby zmusić Rosję do zmiany polityki wobec tego państwa. Wydarzenia na Ukrainie doprowadziły do kryzysu w relacjach między Rosją i NATO, jak również zmniejszyły szansę Ukrainy na przyjęcie do Sojuszu.

Published: February 2020

Son yıllarda istihdamın hizmetlere kaydığı ve iş’in tamamen şekil değiştirmeye başladığı bir süreç yaşanmaktadır. Yaşanan bu süreçte özellikle üretim teknolojisindeki değişim ve üretim sistemlerinde ortaya çıkan yeni biçimler etkili olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada yeni teknolojilerin emek üzerindeki etkileri ve emeğin bu yeni üretim teknolojilerini nasıl algıladığı araştırılmıştır. Bunun için Gebze'de bir otomotiv firmasında çalışan işçilerle saha çalışması yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları istatistiksel analizlere tabi tutulmuştur. Sonuçta yeni üretim teknikleri ve üretim yöntemlerinin niteliksiz emek yarattığı ve emeğin yaptığı işe yabancılaştığı görülmüştür. Diğer taraftan, emeğin yeni teknolojileri işsizlik riski olarak yorumladığı anlaşılmıştır.

Published: February 2020

Fantastik artık bilindiği gibi sadece gerçek bir olayın hayali bir olayla birleştirilerek olağanüstü bir şekilde anlatılmasıyla meydana gelmemektedir; anlatıya yeni anlatım düzlemleri ve yeni çerçeveler eklenmektedir. Diyalektik bir biçimde iç içe eklenen bu yeni çerçeveler yeni fantastik çeşitlerini oluşturmaktadır. Andreas Jaggi bu çerçeve anlatım tekniğinin adına “Schachtelrahmenerzahlung” demiştir. Bu terim, anlatı içerisinde gördüğü işlevi göz önünde bulundurularak, Türkçeye “Katmerli Çerçeve Anlatım” olarak çevirilmiştir.
Bu makalede katmerli çerçeve anlatım sayesinde ortaya çıkan fantastikler incelenmiştir. Çalışmada önce fantastik ve katmerli fantastiğin oluşumu hakkında teorik bilgi verilmiş; daha sonra bu yeni fantastik çeşidi bir örnekle açıklanmıştır.

İnsanımsı diye tanımlanan ilk insanın bir milyon yıl önce yeryüzünde meydana çıkışı ile eşzamanlı olduğu varsayılan dil kullanımının oluşumuna ilişkin değişik hipotezler ve dil olgusuna ilişkin farklı görüşler vardır. Ancak bu görüşler ortak temel öğelere indirgenebilir.
Ana dil ve yabancı dil olarak iki ana kategoriye ayrılan dil olgusunun yabancı dil bölümü, ülkemize ilişkin bu çalışmanın konusunu oluşturur ve şu kronolojik düzende incelenir.
• Osmanlı’dan önce Türklerde yabancı dil.
• Osmanlılar Dönemi
— Mektepler dönemine kadar geçen süre
— Mektepler dönemi
• Cumhuriyet Dönemi
• 07/06/2005 tarihli önemli değişiklikler.
Ülkemizde, uzun bir süreden beri artıları ve eksileri tartışılan Yabancı Dille Öğretim uygulaması değişik görüşler doğrultusunda irdelenmektedir.
Ülkemizde çok uzun bir geçmişi olan yabancı dil eğitimi, üzülerek belirtilebilir ki, arzu edilen sonuçları verem emiştir. Yabancı dil eğitimindeki başarısızlık, genel eğitim sistemimizin aksaklıklarından soyutlanamaz- Eğitim sistemimizin yeniden gözden geçirilerek daha verimli bir düzeye çıkarılması, yabancı dil eğitiminden de daha iyi sonuç alınması için gereklidir.
Multiple Loci Control Eyespot Number Variation on the Hindwings ofBicyclus anynanaButterflies

Body plans often evolve through changes in the number of repeated parts or serial homologs. Using the butterfly Bicyclus anynana, RiveraColón et al. studied the genetics underlying heritability...

The underlying genetic changes that regulate the appearance and disappearance of repeated traits, or serial homologs, remain poorly understood. One hypothesis is that variation in genomic regions flanking master regulatory genes, also known as input–output genes, controls variation in trait number, making the locus of evolution almost predictable. Another hypothesis implicates genetic variation in up- or downstream loci of master control genes. Here, we use the butterfly Bicyclus anynana, a species that exhibits natural variation in eyespot number on the dorsal hindwing, to test these two hypotheses. We first estimated the heritability of dorsal hindwing eyespot number by breeding multiple butterfly families differing in eyespot number and regressing eyespot numbers of offspring on midparent values. We then estimated the number and identity of independent genetic loci contributing to eyespot number variation by performing a genome-wide association study with restriction site-associated DNA sequencing from multiple individuals varying in number of eyespots sampled across a freely breeding laboratory population. We found that dorsal hindwing eyespot number has a moderately high heritability of ∼0.50 and is characterized by a polygenic architecture. Previously identified genomic regions involved in eyespot development, and novel ones, display high association with dorsal hindwing eyespot number, suggesting that homolog number variation is likely determined by regulatory changes at multiple loci that build the trait, and not by variation at single master regulators or input–output genes.

En particular se analiza la forma en que tales desempeños han ingresado al campo de estudio desde su etapa fundacional, para concentrar la atención en la revisión de la categoría actor internacional en el estudio de la paradiplomacia.
Home: The Sacred and the Profane in John McGahern’s Novel That They May Face the Rising Sun
Authors: Bartkuvienė Linara
Published: February 2020

The article seeks to answer the question what it is about the place which is called home in John McGahern’s novel That They May Face the Rising Sun (2002), i.e. what it is that substantiates it and being in it and a return to it. It argues that the homeplace in the narrative of the novel is defined by two symbolic planes: home is not only a physical and material and social place/ space within a certain geography in the novel, but also is of the ontological structure which is the meeting point of two trajectories that cross over: one of them is the vertical − the sacred, the other is the horizontal − the profane. The sacred puts into communication the three placial / spatial geographies in the narrative − heaven, earth and underworld; the profane marks the historical and the linear. It is within the homeplace in the narrative of the novel that existential being opens up through the tensions between the sacred and the profane. To build the argument, the paper draws on Mircea Eliade’s hermeneutics in The Sacred and the Profane (1959), Cosmos and History: The Myth of the Eternal Return (1954), and Images and Symbols: Studies in Religious Symbolism (1961).

Сьогодні головним завданням для України в частині забезпечення сталого розвитку є оновлення базових ідей та концептів досягнення його результатів відповідно до появи інноваційних методів організації управління і врядування, орієнтованих на залучення до вирішення завдань сталого розвитку якнайширшого кола учасників, насамперед органів місцевої влади, громадськості та бізнес-структур з використанням цифрових платформ.Отже, метою статті є розв’язання проблемних питань ефективної імплементації принципів і механізмів публічно-приватних відносин у сферу використання природних ресурсів та створення на цій основі системи управління сталим просторовим розвитком країни та її територій євроінтеграційного типу.Господарський досвід держав –– членів ЄС свідчить про необхідність застосування інноваційних механізмів природно-ресурсного менеджменту, які б орієнтували на управління природними ресурсами місцевих громад з використанням новітніх інструментів, включаючи сучасні цифрові технології та електронне врядування в рамках імплементації більш загальних принципів так званої платформної, зеленої, синьої та наноекономіки, належного врядування, публічно-приватного партнерства тощо.Нині публічно-приватне партнерство є ключовою ланкою забезпечення сталого просторового розвитку європейського типу, що відповідає тренду цифровізації та розвитку системи електронного врядування в рамках досягнення національних Цілей сталого розвитку України –– 2030, у тому числі залучення природних ресурсів у господарський оборот і впровадження відповідних управлінських інновацій.Імплементація інноваційних форм публічно-приватного партнерства у систему управління сталим просторовим розвитком держави повинна відбуватися за трьома основними етапами структурних перетворень –– деконцентрації, деволюції та дивестиції –– і включати створення платформ управління відповідними взаємовідносинами у бізнес-екосистемах територій.У результаті державна форма управління природокористуванням має трансформуватись у децентралізовану публічно-приватну, що ґрунтується на ефективних європейських форматах співпраці влади й бізнесу як його контрактних різновидів, а також через створення спільних державно-приватних корпорацій у середовищі платформної економіки.
ФОРМУВАННЯ ЕКОНОМІКИ ЗНАНЬ У РЕГІОНАХ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: ШВИДАНЕНКО Олег , БУСАРЄВА Тетяна
Published: February 2020

Сучасні проблеми економічного розвитку регіонів України пов'язані з формуванням нової парадигми науково-технічного розвитку. Складовими нової економіки виступають інновації, зростання соціальної спрямованості створюваних технологій, загальний характер доступності та використання знань, технологій, інноваційних продуктів і послуг. Отже, довгострокова конкурентоспроможність регіональної економіки забезпечується переходом до «економіки знань», пріоритетами якої є розвиток та поширення інформаційних технологій, а також розробка і широке впровадження інновацій та інвестицій у формування людського капіталу.Побудова економіки, заснованої на знаннях, визначається в основному шляхом підвищення конкурентоспроможності як окремих регіонів, так і країн, забезпечення нової якості життя населення. Здатність регіону виробляти знання, зокрема наукові, втілювати і ефективно використовувати їх для досягнення ефективного соціально-економічного розвитку нині стає визначальним фактором, що забезпечує позитивну динаміку економічного розвитку регіонів поряд з такими традиційними джерелами, як інвестиції та людська праця. І Україна не виняток, оскільки з точки зору аналізу передумов формування економіки знань в Україні можна стверджувати, що Радянський Союз, разом з США, Німеччиною та Японією, був країною-лідером у становленні третього технологічного укладу. Проте в сучасних реаліях перехід регіонів України до економіки і суспільства знань є занадто проблематичним. Щоб його здійснити, треба сформувати головні умови, а саме: соціально орієнтовану економіку, високі стандарти добробуту населення, високу якість людського і соціального капіталів. Для вирішення такого роду проблем Європейською комісією було розроблено набір показників оцінювання інноваційності регіонів, який можна адаптувати для оцінювання економіки знань у регіонах України.

The necessity of analyzing and modeling process of the emergency landing unmanned quadrocopter is described. Through mathematical modeling the basic features of landing unmanned quadrocopter are considered. The methods of safe landing of an unmanned quadrocopter in case of failure of one of four pairs of motor-screw are proposed. The basis of the proposed methods is to use a parachuting effect. Parachuting achieved by forced off the power of the motor, which is located at the opposite end of the same yoke as faulty motor As a result, quadrocopter vertical speed at the time of landing is reduced significantly and is approaching a relatively safe value.
