Information extraction from ultrawideband electromagnetic wave in near radiation zone
Authors: Akhmedov R. D.
Published: September 2020

The authors study the dependence of the shape of electromagnetic pulse received in near radiation zone of the antenna on the observation point. The paper discusses negative and positive effects of this phenomenon on the wireless impulse communication and presents a new method of information extraction form ultrawideband electromagnetic pulse, comparing it to the traditional way of signal processing.
The method is based on modern deep learning technics and recurrent neural networks, namely physical long short-term memory. Moreover, the paper presents a concept of direct sequence ultrawideband (DS-UWB) impulse radio receiver based on a physical neural network. It is proposed to change the traditional way of radio signal processing and use a single neural network instead of a matched filter, a magnitude amplifier and a FPGA processor. The architecture of the physical neural network was designed with an intention to study the behavior of ultrawideband short pulse (UWB-SP) radio signal in near and far radiation zones.
The applicability of the neural radio concept is proved by simulation of AWGN communication channel for multiuser environment and real time RX signal processing by the designed neural network. The paper contains the results of a numerical modeling of the radiation-reception process and illustrations of the neural network training process. The lens impulse radiation antenna is considered as radiator of transient electromagnetic field for simulation. The radiation process is modeled with the help of the antenna’s transient response obtained using the evolution approach and the superposition principle in the form of Duhamel integral.
The prospects of using the proposed methodology in the problems of the Internet of Things are analyzed. The study shows that using the proposed method allows solving multipathing and multiuser problems even in near radiation zone.
Investigating permeability of metal felt capillary structures of heat pipes for cooling electronics
Authors: Kravets V. Y. , Melnyk R. S. , Chervoniuk A. A. , Shevel Ye. V.
Published: September 2020

The paper presents the experimental results on the permeability of metal felt capillary-porous structures with a fiber diameter of 10—50 μm at porosity values from 57% to 90% when the fluid filtration occurs along the felt plane. It is determined that the permeability depends on the geometric parameters of the capillary structure (fiber diameter), porosity and direction of fluid filtration. In previous permeability studies, no attention was paid to the direction of fluid movement in the capillary structure. It was believed that the metal felt structure is isotropic and the permeability was studied for cross-fiber filtration. In reality, unlike regular capillary structures (powder), metal felt structures are anisotropic and their characteristics depend on the direction of fluid filtration. In heat pipes, the capillary structure fibers are mostly positioned parallel to the axis of the pipe, and thus the fluid moves from the condensation zone to the evaporation zone along the fibers.
It was shown that at a porosity of 55—70%, the value of permeability does not depend on the direction of filtration. In the porosity range from 70% to 90%, error can exceed 50%. In this porosity range, the permeability value at cross-fiber filtration significantly exceeds the permeability value at longitudinal filtration.
This proves that the calculation relations for determining the permeability coefficients of metal felt capillary-porous structures obtained for cross-fiber filtration cannot be used to calculate heat pipes.
Analyzing the results and processing the obtained experimental data allowed proposing an empirical dependence that generalizes the data with an error of up to 20% in the whole range of the studied porosity values.
The research results can be used to design heat pipes with maximum heat transfer characteristics for cooling electronics.

Class transition: a life in between
Authors: Burak Oksana
Published: September 2020

Most scholars within sociology of education focus on the reproductive function of the education system and on inequalities related to it. Rarely attention is paid to cases which don’t reproduce the class of origin. In particularly to the circumstances under which the class-crossers succeed to make an upward transition and to their life after they enter the upper class. However even P. Bourdieu has actually searched for the mechanisms that could prevent reproduction of social inequality by means of education. This topic remains relevant also in the modern time of (un)equal access to the educational institutions. The problem of reconstruction of exiting social order by educational systems has been not solved yet. It would notably contribute to the reduction of social inequality if we could reconstruct the pattern, that promote/hinder social mobility during the education path. In this article, we analyze the class transition experience of P. Bourdieu and D. Eribon based on their self-analysis and try to integrate a new non-reproduction approach of C. Jaquet in this pattern of social mobility through the education. On the basis of the autobiographical life-stories of mentioned above two sociologists we try to reconstruct the main driving force that has enabled them the way up und also to determine how the life of a class-crosser looks after they succeed the transition. After analyzing the work of P. Bourdieu named “Ein soziologischer Selbstversuch” and the work of D. Eribon named “Rückkehr nach Reim” we could confirm an assumption of C. Jaquet that ambition is the most powerful driving force for social mobility. Moreover, we can conclude that not only a person can be willing to leave the milieu of origin, but that he/she can be just displaced by the milieu. In such a situation he/she is a refugee and is forced to flee. In the most cases of escape and desire to climb up the social ladder such “negative” feelings as shame play a role of a driving force. Besides, the fact of social mobility is usually regarded as an end destination when in fact this transition is a process that never ends but transmutes in new forms.
Stepan Bandera as a theorist of the Ukrainian national liberation struggle
Authors: Bondar Yaroslav
Published: September 2020

The position of Stepan Bandera's theoretical heritage on the main components of the concept of the Ukrainian national liberation struggle is systematized. The study of the provisions of the theoretical works of Stepan Bandera allowed us to state that the author has created a comprehensive vision of the concept of the Ukrainian national liberation struggle on key components. This was confirmed during the study by the existence of a clear ideological basis for the revolutionary liberation struggle, it was proved that Stepan Bandera's conceptual views are based on the principles of positivist-humanistic ideology of human development and society. It is determined that this approach has the appropriate deep scientific, philosophical principles and is supported by meaningful counterbalances to totalitarian ideology. The analysis of the author's theoretical heritage highlights his views on the composition and characteristics of key political actors in the struggle against the totalitarian Soviet regime, identifies his beliefs about the participation of Western countries in this process, proves the value and consistency of Stepan Bandera's predictions Ukraine by imperial Russia. It is proved that the characteristics and classification of the phases of the revolutionary liberation struggle, defined by Stepan Bandera, are formed consistently, taking into account the logic, theory and practice of conducting successful events of a similar type. Successful examples of a well-organized liberation struggle are considered, especially the Finnish experience of statehood and liberation from the USSR by their own national forces. It is determined that the theoretical basis of Stepan Bandera's legacy deserves a separate detailed scientific study of all the problems highlighted by the author in the context of methodological support of the revolutionary liberation struggle. It is established that his concept of implementation of this process, although focused on the Ukrainian reality, but can be considered unified and adapted to the conditions of other countries with similar features of development. The study of the phases (stages) of the Ukrainian national revolution shows that the approach to their construction in the theory of the ideologist can act as a universal model of the struggle against totalitarianism and the creation of independence for any republic within the USSR.
Cuidados (invisibles) y cuerpos para otros. Un estudio de caso de mujeres de Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: Bonavitta Paola
Published: September 2020

Los cuerpos de las mujeres son construidos para otros. En medio del sistema patriarcal, los cuerpos feminizados quedaron relegados a la esfera privada, destinados al trabajo de cuidado, doméstico, de reproducción, a la nutrición, etcétera. Estas tareas sostienen al engranaje capitalista y se supone que son realizadas “por amor”. Este trabajo muestra los resultados de una investigación territorial con 60 mujeres de la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina, que tienen entre 20 y 60 años. Hemos indagado acerca de los trabajos de cuidado que realizan, focalizando en las experiencias en relación con el cuidar, así como también apuntamos a mapear en sus cuerpos las consecuencias de esas tareas. Metodológicamente utilizamos técnicas cualitativas como observación participante, entrevistas focalizadas, cartografía feminista y autoetnografía. Estas nos permitieron abordar las vivencias y subjetividades, así como las representaciones sociales que tienen quienes ejercen las labores de cuido. Entre los resultados, pudimos ver que los cuerpos de las mujeres continúan siendo para otras personas; no obstante, también registramos marcas de las resistencias y transgresiones a los roles que el sistema sexo-género les ha tradicionalmente impuesto.
Analytical quality by design approach for the control of potentially counterfeit chloroquine with some NSAIDS using HPLC with fluorescence detection in pharmaceutical preparation and breast milk
Authors: Hassan Said A. , Ibrahim Noha , Elzanfaly Eman S. , El Gendy Ahmed E.
Published: September 2020

Chloroquine phosphate (CQ) the antimalarial drug and suggested to treat the pandemic disease coronavirus (COVID-19) is often adulterated with some of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as paracetamol, aspirin (ASP), or both. The purpose of this study is to detect such counterfeited drugs, using a reversed phase high pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method with fluorescence detection. Analysis was divided into three phases. In the first phase, a Plackett-Burman design (PBD) was used to screen five independent factors, namely, buffer pH, buffer concentration (mM), acetonitrile content (%), flow rate (mL/min) and triethylamine (TEA) content in the buffer preparation (%). The selected dependent variables were (resolution, symmetry of peaks and run time). The objective of the second phase was to optimize the method performance using Box-Behnken design (BBD) and desirability function for multiple response optimization to obtain the best chromatographic performance with the shortest run time. Optimal chromatographic separation was achieved on a YMC-pack pro C18 ODS-A column (15 cm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) at room temperature The optimum mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and 5 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate buffer containing 0.5% triethyamine (30:70, v/v) with the pH adjusted to 3.5 using an orthophosphoric acid solution. The flow rate was maintained at 1 mL/min, and the detection was performed with a fluorescence detector fixed at 380 nm (λemission) after excitation at 335 nm (λexcitation). The third phase was method validation according to ICH guidelines, providing to be specific, precise, accurate, and robust. The method is linear over a range of 0.4–8 µg/mL for chloroquine and ASP, while for paracetamol it is linear over 16–48 µg/mL. The developed RP-HPLC method was used for quantitation of the three drugs in chloroquine dosage form samples. The method shows a great tendency in the classification between the genuine chloroquine and the adulterated ones in pharmaceutical preparations and breast milk.

Correlação entre o desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor e a continência urinária em crianças – Revisão sistemática
Authors: Abdalla Bianca Da Silva Januário , Dourado Dhaiany Gomes , Carneiro Nunes Erica Feio , Latorre Gustavo Fernando Sutter
Published: September 2020

O conceito de desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor (DNPM) se refere ao aumento da capacidade do indivíduo na realização de funções cada vez mais complexas, num processo sequencial e ordenado. Não existe uma medida quantitativa para o DNPM, porém pode-se especificar níveis e graus de desenvolvimento por meio de escalas específicas. O controle esfincteriano é um marco do DNPM. A ansiedade de pais ou cuidadores em desfraldar uma criança que não se encontra no período de desenvolvimento adequado para este tipo de trabalho, pode causar sofrimento para estes cuidadores e para as crianças e ser causa de disfunções do trato urinário. O objetivo deste estudo foi apontar estudos que discutem a correlação entre o DNPM ao estado de continência urinária em crianças. Foi realizada uma busca bibliográfica na base de dados Lilacs, PubMed e SciELO. Foram examinados, ao todo 52 artigos. Parte das referências foi utilizada de livros que abordaram assuntos compatíveis com o estudo. Concluiu-se que o DNPM e seus marcadores específicos podem servir de variável importante para uma marcação mais acurada, ou ao menos vir a somar insights quanto ao desenvolvimento em paralelos dos controles motor e miccional. Ao considerar o controle miccional dependente de musculatura estriada esquelética, como o rabdosfíncter, parece logicamente provável que o controle esfinctérico esteja diretamente correlacionado ao DNPM. Entretanto, sugere-se estudos para correlacionar o DNPM da criança com a continência urinária, visando iniciar a discussão quanto à definição de marcadores mais precisos de desenvolvimento para uma orientação mais adequada quanto ao início do treinamento esfincteriano.
GIS “Protest Activity of Rostov Region”: Opportunities of Using in Regional Social and Economic Policy
Authors: Chelpanova Diana
Published: September 2020

Digital technologies have contributed to the formation of a new theoretical and methodological approach to the study of society and they influenced the development of a new branch of knowledge i.e. digital sociology. The purpose of this article is to analyze the opportunity of using a geographic information system (ArcGIS) for the analysis of statistical data of the facts of protests which took place in Rostov Region over the past ten years (2009–2018). Street protests, rallies, demonstrations, strikes are the main barometer of the social and political tension of a society, an important indicator of the existence of social problems and contradictions that require solutions. The article provides an overview of existing databases, the methodology for the creation of the geographic information system “Protest activity of Rostov region” and the opportunity of its use, which generally depend on research goals and objectives. This product allows identifying the structure of social protest, its qualitative and quantitative characteristics, its dynamics in time and space with the visualization of the main trends and so on. The visualization of the centers of the social and political tension in the form of ready made electronic maps contributes to deeper understanding of political, social, economic or environmental processes that take place in the Don region at different times. The authors draw the conclusion that the GIS developed for this research provides an opportunity to identify latent threats and risks that can destabilize the social situation in Rostov region, and accordingly adjust the regional policy. The geographic information system “Protest activity of Rostov region” can be used both by researchers and experts from a wide range of scientific organizations and by authorities of various administrative levels.

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Background/Purpose: Physicians are in a powerful position to improve the health status of communities through mitigating disparities rooted in social inequities. However, it is uncertain whether medical schools are preparing future physicians with the skills needed to care for diverse populations. The current scoping review aimed to describe how Canadian medical schools teach social justice, comparing pedagogical strategies. Methods: A search was performed using OVID to identify published studies of implemented and evaluated social justice-based interventions within Canadian medical school curricula. Results: Six studies were included. Common themes included increased content knowledge, greater understanding of SDoH, acknowledgement of power and privilege imbalances, identification of physicians' roles as advocates, emphasis on the importance of interdisciplinary care, and increased capacity for self-reflection and personal growth. Experiential interventions were associated with greater personal transformation, but had limited accessibility. Conclusion: Despite the widespread recognition of physicians' roles as health advocates, there is a lack of consensus about an effective strategy for teaching social justice in medical education in Canada. While additional research focusing on the relative merits of didactic versus experiential learning is needed, these preliminary results suggest that experiential learning emphasizing self-reflection and personal growth may be optimal when approaching transformative learning.

Authors: Temple Clothier Anne , Matheson David
Published: September 2020

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. A growing body of research advocates the positive benefits of using co-creation projects to add value to existing services and practices and to enhance professional development. We present a practical guide to adopting the democratic principles of co-creation and structuring a project effectively. From identifying the initial focus, we provide advice concerning how to create a Mission Statement, identify objectives, and develop a cohesive learning community. We also outline how using measurable outcomes and an agreed timescale, it is possible to co-create activities that are both democratic and inclusive. Whilst co-creation can take place in face-to-face or virtual settings, we suggest ways that engaging with technology will enhance the creative elements, and how reflective practice underpins the career developments taking place. Finally, we explore the value associated with evaluating the project, and identifying avenues for the dissemination of its achievements.
Small Group Learning Tools In The Social Distancing Era
Authors: Collett Peter , Hartford Beynon Jake
Published: September 2020

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. The recent pandemic has radically changed our profession in more ways than we could have imagined. One of the areas significantly affected has been education. The vast majority of conferences were cancelled or changed to webinars, educational courses were postponed and weekly teaching sessions were cancelled. These measures were taken to try to reduce the spread of COVID 19 amongst the NHS workforce. Businesses, healthcare and education managed this disruption by utilising technology as a potential solution. The transition from face to face to a virtual learning environment is not straight forward and is likely to have an impact on the effectiveness of small group teaching sessions. Current teaching models advocate multidirectional communication which can be difficult through the medium of conference software. The question has to be asked whether conferencing software provides a safe and effective platform? It may be harder to identify learners who are struggling or failing to participate and need encouragement. Overcoming these hurdles does not require any new or inventive teaching techniques and current practises can be adapted to ensure online teaching sessions are effective.This article compares highly rated free video conference platforms available and evaluates them in terms of their ability to conduct teaching sessions while social distancing is still in effect. An internet search for previous comparisons between video conferencing software was conducted that found a core group of approximately eight platforms which were regularly compared as they were deemed to be provide the most features and be the highest performers.The chosen platforms were then judged based on certain criteria derived from commonly analysed aspects in other software reviews and features that would be important to conducting small group teaching sessions. This will enable groups of learners unable to access institutional platforms to choose a suitable one for themselves.
If the shoe fits... should you just wear it? A complete calcaneal stress fracture in a female recreational runner

Published: September 2020

Shoe choice by runners may follow trends related to purported generalised benefits rather than following an individual risk- benefit analysis. The benefits and risks related to minimalist footwear for running has been a much debated topic. The authors report a case of a complete calcaneal stress fracture in an otherwise healthy female recreational runner in the first three weeks following her conversion from a traditional cushioned running shoe to a minimalist type of running shoe. Clinicians should be aware of the potential added bone stress with reduced cushioning and the potential risks in transitioning to new footwear.

Issue Editor Foreword
Authors: Rubtsov V.V.
Published: September 2020

In 2020 the scientific communities in Russia and around the world celebrate the 90th anniversary of the birth of Vasily V. Davydov, professor, member of the Russian Academy of Education, an outstanding researcher who worked within the framework of cultural-historical psychology and activity theory and created his own system of developmental learning. The journal Psychological Science and Education marks this anniversary with two topical issues that explore the current state and future research perspectives of V.V. Davydov’s scientific school. The materials published in these issues present outcomes of various research works carried out by Davydov’s closest disciples and followers. The deep and pressing problems raised in these works prove that a wide discussion of the key ideas and concepts of professor Davydov’s school of thought still determines the search for effective mechanisms and conditions of child development in teaching/learning that promote the abilities that allow one to live and act in the face of new risks and social transformations.

Facet Use in Search Tools is Influenced by the Interface but Remains Difficult to Predict
Authors: Goldstein Scott
Published: September 2020

A Review of:
Dahlen, S. P. C., Haeger, H., Hanson, K., & Montellano, M. (2020). Almost in the wild: Student search behaviors when librarians aren’t looking. Journal of Academic Librarianship, 46(1), 102096. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acalib.2019.102096
Abstract
Objective – To examine the relationship between student search behaviours and the quality of scholarly sources chosen from among library search tools.
Design – Unmonitored search sessions in a facilitated library setting.
Setting – A mid-sized public university in the United States of America.
Subjects – 50 upper-level undergraduate students in the social and behavioural sciences.
Methods – Recruited participants were given one of two search prompts and asked to use EBSCO’s Social Science Abstracts and two configurations of ProQuest’s Summon, with one being pre-scoped to exclude newspapers and include subject areas within the social sciences. The search tools were assigned in random order. In each case, the participant was asked to find two of the “best quality” articles (p. 3). A librarian was present in the room but did not observe participants; instead, all sessions were recorded using Camtasia Relay. Afterwards, participants were interviewed about the process they used and their impressions of the search tools. They also completed a survey collecting information on their GPA and whether they had previously had library instruction.
Main Results – Facet use differed significantly between the EBSCO database and Summon, though not between the two different configurations of Summon. There was a significant relationship between high use of facets in one platform being connected to high use in the other platforms. In contrast to some previous studies, a non-trivial proportion of participants went beyond the first page of search results. In support of most previous studies, participants infrequently searched on the subject field or changed the default sort order. Summon’s article suggestion feature was noted as being especially helpful, and clicking on suggested articles was significantly correlated with the number of article records viewed.
Conclusion – The choice of search tool has a large influence on students’ subsequent search behaviour. Many of the advanced features are still missed by students, although in this study the majority of sources picked were of high quality. The authors note the importance of configuring the interface so that facets and other features deemed worthwhile by librarians are higher up on the page. The researchers reason that the prominent display of facets leads to greater uptake. Despite finding no association between library instruction and facet use, teaching students how to use facets remains an advisable strategy.

Methods – The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) is a validated survey that includes three separate scales: personal burnout, work-related burnout, and client-related burnout. The end of the survey addressed demographics, including questions on the respondents’ involvement with systematic reviews. Survey questions use a 0 to 100 rating scale, with 0 indicating Never/To a Low Degree and 100 indicating Always/To a High Degree. The researchers shared the survey to the email discussion lists MEDLIB-L and DOCLINE and advertised it on the Medical Library Association (MLA) News. Survey answers were collected using Qualtrics Survey Software. Once emailed, the survey remained open for one month. Data was coded in Excel and analysis included scoring following the CBI metrics, as well as TukeyHSD and Kruskal-Wallis tests to determine differences in demographic groups.
Main Results – Reported burnout levels were significantly lower for those who spend more than 80% of their time helping with systematic reviews compared to those who spend less than 10%. The consistent use of a systematic review support tool was also associated with significantly lower burnout levels. Other comparisons were not significant. The average overall response score for personal burnout was 48.6. The average score for work-related burnout was 46.4 and the average score for client-related burnout was 32.5. Reference librarians reported the highest average total burnout scores (47.1), while research librarians had the lowest (37.7).
Conclusion – Consistency, either in time spent dedicated to systematic reviews or in the use of a support tool, was associated with lower levels of burnout among librarians and information specialists. The authors suggest that these results could inform ways of improving burnout among those assisting with systematic reviews.

Background: Interprofessional collaboration between pharmacists and physicians in primary care has been linked to improved patient outcomes. How professionals position themselves and each other can shed light upon their relationship, and positioning theory can be used as a tool to better understand intergroup relations.

Objectives: 1) To identify how community pharmacists position themselves, and how they are positioned by general practitioners. 2) To assess how well these positions correspond, how the positions align with a proactive position for the pharmacists, and discuss how the positions could potentially impact collaboration.

Methods: In this qualitative study, data were collected through six focus group interviews held between June and October 2019, three with pharmacists and three with physicians. The focus group interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide. Data were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using the Systematic text condensation method. Positioning theory was used as a theoretical framework to identify the positions assigned to community pharmacists by the pharmacists themselves and by the physicians.

Results: Twelve pharmacists and ten physicians participated. The pharmacists positioned themselves as the “last line of defense”, “bridge-builders”, “outsiders” – with responsibility, but with a lack of information and authority – and “practical problem solvers”. The physicians positioned pharmacists as “a useful checkpoint”, “non-clinicians” and “unknown”.

Conclusions: The study revealed both commonalities and disagreements in how community pharmacists position themselves and are positioned by general practitioners. Few of the positions assigned to pharmacists by the physicians support an active role for the pharmacists, while the pharmacists´ positioning of themselves is more diverse. The physicians´ positioning of pharmacists as an unknown group represents a major challenge for collaboration. Increasing the two professions´ knowledge of each other may help produce new positions that are more coordinated, and thus more supportive towards collaboration.
ETIKA ILMIAH ISLAM SEBAGAI WUJUD TOLERANSI (Analisis Pemikiran Taha Jabir al-Alwani dalam Kitab Adab al-Ikhtilafi fi al Islami)

The rise of change and the behavior of society today change the distortion or differences in factors, news, and issues those are freely scattered in the mass media are no longer heard by the Indonesian people, so it becomes the people's consumption that is swallowed raw so that it starts to fix it. When people take news and information about and direct then many questions arise, it is appropriate, but the problem is all the news that comes from the mass media used to criticize and disbelieve others, this causes a variety of differences that result in the decline of humans to be able to support each other and make a difference as a mercy for all nature. All kinds of actions that cause conflict and friction between human beings are triggered by negative ideological reasoning that challenges its truth. Because reason and ideology that are formed do not show a more wise view and behavior in responding to differences. Therefore, the author wants to discuss more deeply about ethical knowledge and scientific knowledge of scientific ethics capable of realizing a tolerant attitude and understanding perspective. Of course, this author uses the Content Analysis method as the main reference in examining the views of Taha Jabir al-Alwani about attitudes and actions relating to science using interpretive-descriptive methods. Then the results obtained from scientific ethics are resolved (1). Self-awareness consists of magical, naive, critical, and transformative awareness,(2). Social awareness consists of mutual support, compilation, understanding, (3). Revolution awareness and (4). Divine Awareness is a difficult challenge to avoid because of hostility, strife, strife, termination of akin relations which is opposed by Allah.

There are two categories of mixed marriages in Indonesia, namely mixed marriages between religions / different religions and mixed marriages across countries / different nationalities. This research method using descriptive-analytical method. The conclusions are: Mixed marriages carried out in Indonesia refer to the applicable marriage laws in Indonesia. In order to carry out mixed marriages between Indonesian citizens and citizens of other countries, in general the requirements for marriage as regulated in the marriage law must first be met; Mixed marriages across countries, namely marriages made by Indonesian citizens with foreign citizens are allowed and legalized / recognized by the State, as long as all the terms and conditions regulated by the laws of the respective countries of origin of the bride and groom are fulfilled and there is no prohibition for both of them to carry out wedding; and Islamic Law and Indonesian Positive Law allow marriage between two people of different nationalities, but prohibit mixed marriages due to religious differences and do not obtain legal legality.
Investigating Network Traffic and Selecting a Matching Mathematical Model

Published: September 2020

The investigation aimed to study various network traffic types so as to derive a mathematical description not only for a specific type of traffic, but also for the aggregated network traffic. We characterized the main types of data transmitted during network operation and compared the results with the most common mathematical models, that is, Poisson, Pareto, Weibull, exponential and lognormal distributions. We established that regardless of traffic type the volume distribution of data packets transmitted has a "long tail" and is well described by the lognormal distribution model. We evaluated the autocorrelation function, which showed that a long-range dependence characterises virtually all data, which indicates their self-similarity. We also confirmed this conclusion by calculating the Hurst exponent. At the same time, we determined that the degree of self-similarity depends not only on the type of data transmitted, but also on the data ratio in the aggregated network traffic. We selected the following models so as to compare the mathematical descriptions of traffic: classical and fractal Brownian motion, and the AR, MA, ARMA and ARIMA models. The results showed that the fractal Brownian motion model provides the most accurate mathematical description of network traffic
Work-Life (Im)Balance? An Explorative Qualitative Study Among Mothers and Fathers of Persons with Disabilities
Authors: Sałkowska Marta
Published: September 2020

The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the meaning of professional activity and to present strategies for coping with work-life balance among parents of persons with disabilities. Research proves that having a child with disability very often results in a lower financial status, work overload, and the necessity to manage the child’s rehabilitation. The theoretical context of the study includes Herbert Blumer’s concept of giving meaning to objects as well as Erving Goffman’s notion of stigma by association. The context of the study is illustrated by a brief description of the sit-in protests organized by persons with disabilities and their parents in the Polish Parliament in 2014 and 2018. As such, it refers to the social policy system in Poland. The explorative study was carried out among mothers and fathers of persons with various disabilities in Poland. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with eight participants. The results show two main types of strategy: working-mode-related and values-related. Both generational and gender differences are present in managing work-life balance.
