Impact Of Demonetization On The Economic Parameters That Affect The Growth Of Nonperforming Asset Of Indian Banks
Authors: Sanjoy Laha  , Rabin Mazumder
Published: February 2020

The demonetization decision by the government of India affected almost all service sectors of Indian economy, out of which the banking sectors were affected the most. Due to demonetization bulk amount of old currency notes of INR 500 and INR 1000 were deposited to banks; that not only increased the capital base of banks, but those un-used cash boosted the liability of loan disbursement. Again the reducing interest rates, providing account opening facility and issuing loan to the depositors by banks without judging their repayment ability resulted a chance of increasing number of defaulters and the value of nonperforming assets. Considering the scenario the present research work tried to focus on the impact of demonetization towards the movement of nonperforming assets of Indian banks. A multivariate regression analysis was performed by considering income, expenditure and net profit ratio as internal and the percentage change of India’s GDP, inflation and foreign exchange rate as external independent variables towards the net nonperforming assets changes of Indian public and private sector banks as dependent variable from financial year 2016-17 to 2018-19. Though the outcome of the study revealed that demonetization helped to reduce the nonperforming asset values in short run but in long run it would stimulate the growth of nonperforming assets.
Mode Flow Map: An Innovative Enterprise Gis For Better Groundwater Management And Monitoring.
Authors: Lala El Hoummaidi  , Dr. Abdelkader Larabi  , Shaikha Ahmad Al Shaikh
Published: February 2020

Due to the UAE’s location in a dry belt region, rainfall is discontinuous, precipitation thresholds are highly variable and floodwaters leak into the ground. Thus, groundwater is a precious resource for water supplies, environmental protection, and sustainable development.

Moreover, the groundwater salinity is relatively high which leads to reduced productivity of agricultural land and degrades the natural environment, therefore proper management and control of such resource use, especially in UAE where there is an intensive irrigation activity, is critical for a sustainable water management.

Authors: Dr. Mahendra Parihar
Published: February 2020

Population of our country is growing at alarming rate. Population of urban areas are growing faster than rural areas given the emerging of economic activities in cities. With the migration of rural population to urban areas for various reasons resulting into increase in lots of issues and problems in urban areas. Although, our governments at Centre level and State levels are putting lots of efforts and trying their best to resolve many of the issues of growing urban areas but somehow it seems that their efforts are falling short to solve those problems. On other hand, with continuous increase in population of urban areas, some of those problems are becoming worsen and leading to emergence of another problems. It is said that if something will not be done on urgent basis to save those urban areas and cities, it will be too late to achieve national goals especially relating to sustainable development. Therefore, to make our cities and urban areas to sustain for long run especially for future generations, it is need of hour to look at those specific issues such as transport, infrastructure, pollution, housing, sanitation, congestion, illiteracy, migration, etc. very carefully and try to resolve as early as possible. But among those mentioned issues, transportation problem (which include congestion, pollution, traffic mix, fuel consumption, high travel time, low productivity, slow traffic movement, etc.) is one of the major problem of cities in today’s context and putting financial burden on national economy in many ways.

Authors: Poulomi Chakravarty  , Manoj Kumar
Published: February 2020

The assessment of the human-induced climate change on a global level can be carried out only after the study of local and regional climate change patterns. This study was an attempt to establish a link between regional climate and the surface parameters. The study was carried out for Ranchi, India to assess the changes in climatic pattern over the years (1901-2016) and applied Mann-Kendall Trend analysis test. The pre-monsoon period was chosen due to high intensity and number of thunderstorms taking place in the study area. Maximum temperature (Tmax), minimum temperature (Tmin), rainfall (P) &diurnal temperature range (DTR) for the months (March, April & May) were studied, and a significant negative trend in Tmax and DTR was observed. Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model was applied to fit the datasets and predict 5 values for the meteorological parameters, and the model depicted positive temperature trends and negative rainfall and DTR trends in the future. Land surface process parameters such as sensible heat flux, momentum flux, frictional velocity, shortwave radiation, longwave radiation, and net radiation for Ranchi were also fit into the ARIMA model, and the fitness of the model and predictions were determined.

Economical, Efficient and Optimum Design of Storm Water Harvester
Authors: Deepak Juneja  , Aditya Rana
Published: February 2020

In most parts of India, water table is getting lowered. The problem is more predominant in dense cities. Some cities have become dependent on potable water supply. Due to paving of roads and construction of buildings, Infiltration has reduced and run off has increased. Run off increases when the rainfall is intense and with increased road and building infrastructure. Further there is huge withdrawal of water to meet the demand for growing population. Sowing of paddy to increase the returns from farming adds to the problem. Paddy needs 150cm of water from sowing to harvesting. It is not the natural crop of this region. Part of this water demand is met by monsoon and the rest by pumping out of water. There is huge and rapid withdrawal of water from tube wells to keep the crops inundated in water. This causes the drawdown or lowering of water table.  In the last two decades water has been receding at the rate of 50-100cm per year. After concerns of water harvesting were raised, the rate of decline has receded. Since we cannot do much about reducing water demand, the solution lies in water harvesting and recycling waste water. Roof top water harvesting is easy and has no challenges. Storm water harvesting is challenging and daunting task. The harvesters get clogged and may not be operational for long time. Optimum solution has been found for filter material to be used, and design of harvester.

Published: February 2020

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of soaking temperature (25 and 80°
C) and different processing conditions on the rheological properties of chia seeds (Salvia
hispanica L.) mucilage. In this study, chia mucilage was first extracted using a ratio of
seed to water at 1:10 for 4 hrs for control (25°C) and treated mucilage (80°C). Both
extracted mucilage were evaluated in terms of yield, color, solubility, and water holding
capacity. Then, the mucilage were subjected to different processing conditions including
temperatures (5, 25, 45, and 65°C), pH (3, 5, 7, 9), sucrose concentrations (10, 20, 30,
40%), and salts (NaCl and KCl from 0 to 0.172 M; CaCl2 and MgCl2 from 0 to 0.049 M)
to determine their rheological properties. Results show that high extraction temperature
(80°C) significantly affected the mucilage yield higher than control. However, lightness
(L*), solubility and water holding capacity of the treated sample were lower compared to
control. Apparent viscosity of the 3% of mucilage for both extracts increases with
temperatures and sucrose concentration. The high apparent viscosity of the treated
mucilage at MgCl2 (0.049 M) and CaCl2 (0.049 M) concentration were found higher than
0.01 M. Meanwhile, NaCl (>0.069 M), KCl (>0.035 M), and CaCl2 (<0.03 M) had
decreased the apparent viscosity value of the control sample. Thus, the treated mucilage
could be suitable for application as a thickening agent in food.

Published: February 2020

Plant gum exudate, such as gum arabic, is extensively used in a variety of industrial
applications due to their emulsification, microencapsulation and stabilisation properties.
The present study is aimed to investigate the effect of particle size on the proximate
composition, the density and the physicochemical properties of the gum arabic powder.
The classification of particle size based on the mean diameter (d50) ranged between 30 to
800 µm. Based on the proximate composition results, the coarse (414 µm) and very coarse
(790 µm) particles yielded a similar moisture content of 13.8%, which was higher than
that of the commercial gum (11.1%). Meanwhile, the medium coarse (208 µm) particles
contain higher fiber content (97.9%) as compared to other particle sizes. The bulk and
tapped density of the gum were significantly affected by the particle size. Water activity
analysis indicated that the gum arabic is microbiologically safe, as it has poor condition or
environment for microbial growth. From the hygroscopicity analysis, it was found that the
very fine (37 µm) particles obtained the highest hygroscopicity value of 40%. The
swelling index of medium coarse (208 µm) particles was closed to that of the commercial
gum. The emulsion capacity (EC) and emulsion stability (ES) analyses observed that the
very coarse (790 µm) and very fine (37 µm) particles recorded the highest EC and ES
values of 93% and 89%, respectively. The glass transition temperature was not
significantly affected by the particle size. The colour analysis indicated that the
commercial gum is lighter (71.4) than the other particle sizes. Meanwhile, the very fine
(37 µm) and fine (85 µm) particles exhibited similar redness (a*) value with that of the
commercial gum, with a value recorded at 3.7. The morphology analysis observed that the
gum exhibited irregular shape with rough granule surfaces. The present work revealed that
coarse (208 to 414 µm) particles showed better characteristics compared to that of the
commercial gum arabic that is available in the market.
Reflexões sobre a concepção maquiaveliana de Liberdade, sua corrupção e sua restauração
Authors: Ames José Luiz
Published: February 2020

O que Maquiavel entende por liberdade, o que pode levar à sua degradação e como será possível restaurá-la? Esta é a pergunta que nos guiará nesta reflexão. Nossa hipótese é de que a liberdade, para Maquiavel, é resultado do movimento de resistência ativa do povo ao desejo de dominação dos grandes; ela é, pois, fruto da ação – da luta política - no espaço público e só existirá neste espaço enquanto persistir a resistência à dominação. Este desejo do povo de não ser dominado pode degradar-se por dois movimentos opostos, mas que produz o mesmo efeito. Por um lado, quando o povo passa a ser movido pelo excesso do desejo de liberdade e passa a lutar por ambição, o que se mostra quando dá vazão ao desejo de controle pleno dos mecanismos de poder e passa a desejar como os grandes. Por outro lado, quando o povo revela falta do desejo de liberdade, o que se mostra na ausência de resistência à dominação e se submete voluntariamente ao jugo. Finalmente, como é possível a um povo que perdeu a liberdade de recobrá-la? Nos capítulos XVI a XVIII Livro I dos Discursos Maquiavel examina três diferentes situações: como instaurar uma vida livre quando um povo, acostumado ao jugo de um príncipe, se liberta (capítulo XVI); como tornar livre uma cidade corrompida quando morre seu príncipe (capítulo XVII); como proceder para retornar à liberdade uma cidade tomada inteiramente pela corrupção (capítulo XVIII).
A questão maquiavélica e as diferentes formas de governo na ordenação do Stato: Uma leitura do Discorso sopra il riformare lo Stato de Firenze
Authors: Assis Jean Felipe de
Published: February 2020

A Expressão Questão maquiavélica foi popularizada por Isaiah Berlin ao ponderar sobre a fortuna crítica do pensamento político do secretário florentino. Há divergências entre as interpretações monocráticas e republicanas das obras de Machiavelli, as quais centram-se, especialmente, nas possíveis discrepâncias existentes entre Il Principe e os Discorsi. Diversos contextos históricos permitem múltiplas apropriações das ideias presentes nesses e outros textos desse autor:  um pensador amoral na ausência das premissas religiosas; um republicano a lutar pela liberdade popular aos moldes dos pensamentos iluministas e posteriormente românticos; um patriota a almejar a libertação e a unificação da Itália no Risorgimento; um nacionalista a compreender os limites dos interesses populares na ascensão do Fascismo; e tantas outras possibilidades receptivas. Todavia, na leitura dos textos de Machiavelli, destaca-se a criação de uma civilità, uma Ordem civil virtuosa a promover união entre os cidadãos, amor à Pátria e incentivo à defesa da Liberdade, a agir de acordo com necessidades específicas, evitando a Tirania, as facções e os privilégios de cidadãos particulares. Desse modo, em uma leitura do Discorso Reformare Stato di Firenze, em paralelos com temas e passagens específicas nos Discorsi e em Il Principe, constatam-se posições políticas plurais assumidas por Machiavelli de acordo com a necessidade e com a Ocasião, essas que corroboram a variedade na recepção de suas ideias e devem ser compreendidas em sua complementaridade em seus contextos iniciais.

La Theorisation de L’activite Politique des Ong en Russie
Authors: Vasilenko S. B.
Published: February 2020

Le conflit de l’État russe avec le champ associatif s’explique par la participation des ONG aux délibérations politiques dans les années 1990. La logique du contrôle sur les acteurs qui peuvent susciter les sentiments contestataires chez ses partisans conduit l’État centrale à restreindre l’activité des ONG qui “font la politique” par la loi sur les “agents étrangers”. Alors, qu’est-ce que cela veut dire pour ces ONG de s’opposeraux autorités publiques et se construire en catégories politiques et civiques?
Philosophy of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Makhamatov T. M.
Published: February 2020

In the article, the author substantiates the thesis that the development of artificial intelligence technology is closely related not only to discoveries in the field of natural science, anthropology and medicine, but also achievements in the field of philosophy of knowledge and cognitive sciences. The author conducted a philosophico-epistemological analysis of the problems of improving the neural network as the core of modern artificial intelligence led to the conclusion that the principles of functioning of the neural network corresponding to such principles of the cognitive process discovered and studied in the philosophical concepts of New Time, such as J. Locke’s apriorism, I. Kant’s apriorism other. The results of the comparative study allowed the author to come to the following conclusion: the improvement of the abilities of the neural network studied by S. Haikin, S. Russell, P. Norvig (“evidence of the answer”, “classification of images” and “reliability of the decision”) is possible when relying on the epistemological ideas of J. Locke, using Kant’s principles (“synthetic unity of apperception”, “I think”) and searching for the algorithm of neural network formation of the ability to create antinomies in artificial intelligence. Further development of artificial intelligence based on the neural network can also be based on the theory of cognition of T. Hobbes, R. Descartes, B. Spinoza, G. V. F. Hegel and the results of modern cognitive sciences.
Features of Integration Policy of the Russian Federation towards the Baltic States (1992–2009)
Authors: Pashkovsky P. I.
Published: February 2020

In this article, the author described features of Russian integration policy towards the Baltic States (1992–2009). I showed that in the first half of the 1990s, the mechanisms of Russian integration policy were bilateral and multilateral negotiations. From the mid to late 1990s, Russia declared the concept of multi-speed and multi-level integration. Under the influence of internal and external factors, Russia in this period is experiencing its decline in influence and the crisis of integration policy in the post-Soviet space. Since the beginning of the 2000s, Russian integration policy has been characterised by the priority of bilateral ties and economic pragmatism. The relations of Russia with Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia in this period are built on mutually beneficial bases, with many unresolved problems and sometimes a high degree of tension. In the second half of the first decade of the XXI century, under the influence of internal and external factors, Russia concentrates on internal modernisation and protection of its interests in the post-Soviet space in general and in the Baltic States region in particular.
Factors of the Variability of sociocultural Dynamics in the Context of Intercultural Communication
Authors: Zamaraeva E. I.
Published: February 2020

The article analyses the main factors determining the socio-cultural dynamics of nowadays and affects the processes of intercultural communication . The key factor is the fourth industrial revolution being the convergence of the digital, physical and biological worlds, urbanisation and the widespread introduction of information and communication technologies . The author noted that the development of new technologies generates “digital inequality” . The widespread of the Internet the author considers not only as a means of free communication but also as a new paradigm of consciousness — as a means of digitalisation of cognitive processes . The author also noted that widespread digitalisation generates new forms of labour and social relations . It contributes to the leaching of the middle class . It has been revealed that a significant factor in the sociocultural dynamics of nowadays is super mobility and reactivity, what generate instability, uncertainty about the future, as well as elimination and deformation of traditional value paradigms . The author concluded that it is necessary to build new models of intercultural communication, as well as to consolidate efforts at all levels — from governments and international organisations to public organisations, all civil society and individuals . There is need for constructive cooperation to create not only an effective system of international law but also of the formation of voluntarily accepted ethical norms and mechanisms, established on an equal level by equal participants — a constant, regular dialogue and cooperation at the local, national or supranational level .

This study aims to determine the effect of giving Iles-iles synbiotic effervescent tablets to decrease blood sugar levels of hyperglycemic white rats and find out the lowest dose of effervescent tablets in decreasing blood sugar levels. This study used the Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with single factor (dose of Iles-iles synbiotic effervescent tablet) with 4 levels (dose 0.045 gram/day (½ normal dose), dose 0.09 gram/day (normal dose), dose 0.18 gram/day (2X normal dose) and Control (without treatment dose). The analysis carried out was blood sugar levels and rat body weight. The administration of Iles-iles synbiotic effervescent tablets can reduce blood sugar levels in white mice but does not affect changes in the weight of white mice. The biggest decrease in blood sugar levels in white rats for synbiotic month was obtained from the administration of a dose of 0.18 grams/day (normal 2X dose) which was as much as 49.16% The administration of effervescent tablets in the fourth week with a normal dose of 0.09 grams/200 grams of weight has been able to reduce blood sugar levels in white rats to normal levels.

Published: February 2020

“Biocleaners” or “bioscavengers” are biological objects (enzymes, catalytic antibodies) that are capable of binding and/or hydrolyzing organophosphorus compounds (OPC). Their use seems to be the most effective alternative to traditional antidotes to neutralize or detoxify OPC. The introduction of bioscavengers allows neutralizing toxicant molecules in the bloodstream before they reach their biological targets, thereby providing protection against poisoning. Bioscavengers of the first-generation neutralized OPC molecules by stoichiometrically binding to them. The safety and efficacy of human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) for protecting against OPC poisoning has been shown. However, the stoichiometric neutralization of OPC requires the introduction of a huge amount of expensive biopharmaceuticals. Catalytic bioscavengers that hydrolytically neutralize OPC were introduced at a much lower dose to achieve the same degree of effectiveness. The most effective catalytic bioscavengers are enzymes. The most promising enzymes are artificial mammalian paraoxonase mutants and bacterial phosphotriesterases. However, studies of other enzymes, such as prolidases, oxidases, artificial mutants of cholinesterases and carboxyl esterases and catalytic antibodies are actively ongoing. Since OPC are pseudosubstrates of cholinesterases (ChEs), a detailed description of the mechanisms of inhibition, dealkylation, and spontaneous reactivation of phosphorylated ChEs is critical for the development of ChEs mutants with a high rate of hydrolysis of OPC. The review presents an analysis of different views on the mechanisms of interaction of ChEs with OPC, discusses the possible directions of creating effective catalytic biological traps based on BChE and changes in their mechanism of action as compared to the native enzyme. A separate section is devoted to the effect of mutations, both polymorphic and artificial, on the stability of the protein molecule of BChE.

Одной из культур, способных обеспечивать высокие урожаи продукции, является тыква (Cucurbita). В условиях Предуральской лесостепи Республики Башкортостан тыква крупноплодная сорта Уфимская формирует урожай за 81 – 94 дня после появления всходов. При этом максимальная продолжительность вегетации растений отмечена в посевах с площадью питания 1 растения 4,5 м2. С загущением растений длина вегетационного периода тыквы сокращается. Эксперименты по влиянию схем посева тыквы проводили в 2011 – 2013 гг. на полях, расположенных на юго-западном крыле Бугульмино-Белебеевской возвышенности в пойме реки Дема. Полевая всхожесть семян тыквы составила 82,7 – 94,4 % и не зависела от схемы посева растений. Наибольшую сохранность растений к уборке — 75,0 – 93,3 % — имели посевы с площадью питания 1 растения 4,5 м2. При уменьшении площади питания сохранность растений снижалась. Длина главного стебля тыквы может варьировать от 384 до 690 см, при этом наиболее длинные стебли имели растения в посевах с площадью питания 1 растения 4,5 м2, а минимально короткие — с площадью питания 1 растения 2,0 м2. При всех схемах посева наиболее интенсивные приросты стеблей в длину происходили в период массового цветения – завязывания плодов и достигали 15,5 – 19,2 см в сутки. Максимальная урожайность тыквы крупноплодной сорта Уфимская составила 27,8 т/га при уровне рентабельности производства 89,6 % при схеме посева 2,1 × 1,9 м и площади питания 1 растения 4,0 м2.
Collected Songs, Part 2
Authors: Harrigan Edward , Braham David
Published: February 2020

The plays of Edward Harrigan (1845–1911) and their attendant songs written with David Braham (1838–1905) reflect a turbulent era in New York City, which was just emerging as the cultural and economic center of American life. This edition includes a generous selection of Harrigan-Braham songs drawn from plays depicting a variety of ethnic groups and written at the zenith of Harrigan's career. The music, texts, and introductory essay provide a clearer picture of a body of work that Charles Hamm has described as “the beginning of urban popular song.”
Cantate, ariete a una, due, e tre voci, Opus 3
Authors: Strozzi Barbara
Published: February 2020

Cantate, ariete a una, due e tre voci, a collection of eleven secular cantatas, was first published by the Venetian printer Gardano in 1654. At her own expense Barbara Strozzi published seven volumes of secular music and one volume that contains more than 100 sacred pieces, while better known male contemporaries, such as Carissimi and Rossi, published only a small fraction of their output. A virtuoso lutenist and singer, Strozzi probably performed her pieces in her home at meetings of the Accademia degli Incogniti. Members of this group supplied librettos to all of the major opera composers in seventeenth-century Venice and also contributed texts to Strozzi's cantatas. This modern edition includes English translations of the texts and a brief discussion of performance practice. The limited number of figured bass symbols provided by the composer have been retained, thus underscoring the period's devotion to the performer's art: freely improvised lute or keyboard accompaniment and expressive vocal ornamentation. Of particular interest is the extended political lament, no. 3, “Il lamento.”
Dixit Dominus
Authors: Martines Marianna von
Published: February 2020

Marianna von Martines (1744–1812) was highly regarded in her day as a composer of various kinds of music. She studied with Haydn, Bonno, and Porpora and, under the sponsorship of the renowned Padre Martini, and she became the first woman to be elected in any capacity to the Accademia Filarmonica Honorata. She composed the Dixit Dominus (1774) as her contribution in response to her election. This publication is the first critical edition of her Dixit Dominus, and the introduction by Irving Godt includes transcriptions of letters between Martines and Martini that deal with this work.
Sonatas for Violoncello and Basso
Authors: Graziani Carlo
Published: February 2020

Relatively few works for violoncello and basso from the second half of the eighteenth century have been published in reliable critical editions. Although there is much information about contemporary cello technique in treatises of the period, until now little of this music has been available for study by performers and scholars. This edition of nine sonatas by Carlo Graziani partially fills that void. The works represent a cross-section of Graziani's musical style and approach to the cello. The composer himself, a virtuoso cellist, could perform the sonatas and demonstrate his skill. But these sonatas are also excellent pedagogical works, and many of them were written for his patron and pupil, Friedrich Wilhelm II (r. 1786–97). Of special interest are the added fingerings in the cello parts, which illustrate how an advanced cello student might approach a difficult passage.
ENTERING ROCINHA: A GIS APPROACH FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT IN A SLUM IN RIO DE JANEIRO (BRAZIL)

Published: February 2020

Solid waste management (SWM) is recognized worldwide as an important issue to deal with in pursuing livability. The favela (slum) of Rocinha represents a good synthesis of all challenges which can be encountered in this field: high population density , lack of space and narrow streets, residents struggling with low incomes. In Rocinha, services coverage is lacking and unsatisfying in many sectors, including SWM. In this study, we investigate the reason for this inadequacy. Waste streams have been analyzed as a first step. The second step was the description of the SWM system and of its criticalities. All accessible information has been used and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) played an important role in the data processing. In the final discussion, we suggest a small-scale and decentralized waste management network, collaborating with the centralized collection system. This study is a piece of the project Polimipararocinha of Politecnico di Milano (Italy) which pursues the overall urban re-qualification of Rocinha.

The present study evaluated the potential for biogas generation from organic waste unfit for consumption collected at the Pernambuco Supply and Logistics Center (CEASA-PE), as well as an estimation of the electric energy production from waste biodigestion generated in this plant. The biogas generation potential used BMP bench-test (biochemical methane potential) biodigesters, in which the biogas production was qualitatively/quantitatively evaluated from CEASA waste codigested with different inocula (bovine ruminal fluid, goat manure and UASB reactor sludge) under mesophilic conditions for 80 days. The laboratory test showed that the waste inoculated with ruminant manures (goat and bovine) presented the lowest net volume of generated biogas compared to the other treatments.: 23.2 and 19.2 NmL.gds-1. On the other hand, the treatments with sludge and mixture of all the inocula generated the largest biogas volumes: 37.6 and 44 NmL.gds-1, respectively. A potential of 359 kWh.d-1 of electric power generation was estimated from the biogas generated at CEASA from the BMP bench assay, as well as from the quantitative and physicochemical parameters of the waste generated in this unit. The results indicate high potential for energy generation in the evaluated CEASA plant, promoting the recovery of these wastes as an alternative and renewable source for sustainable energy production, transforming environmental liabilities into potentially energetic assets of aggregate economic value.
