Metode SURF dan FLANN untuk Identifikasi Nominal Uang Kertas Rupiah Tahun Emisi 2016 pada Variasi Rotasi
Authors: Priadana Adri , Murdiyanto Aris Wahyu
Published: April 2019

In December 2016, Bank Indonesia (BI) officially launched the 2016 Year Emission Rupiah. With the development of technology, the process of buying and selling are not only possible between humans and humans, but humans with a machine. In addition, the machine must also be able to read and recognize the nominal banknotes in various variations of face and rotation. This is because humans can put money in machines with various variations of face and rotation. This study aims to apply and analyze the level of accuracy of nominal rupiah banknotes identification with the SURF and FLANN methods for rotation variation. Testing for identification of nominal rupiah banknotes is carried out with different rotation variations, namely 0o, 90o, 180o, and 270o. The proposed identification method provides 100% of accuracy.
Velvet Antler compounds targeting major cell signaling pathways in osteosarcoma - a new insight into mediating the process of invasion and metastasis in OS
Authors: Zhang Zhengyao , Li Pengfei , Li Tie , Zhao Changwei , Wang Guoxiang
Published: April 2019

Velvet antler is the only renewable bone tissue of mammalian animals, which consists of a variety of growth factors, amino acids and polypeptides. But the mechanism of high-speed proliferation without carcinogenesis is still mystifying. The previous study of this work found that the velvet antler peptides (VAP) could not only inhibit the proliferation and migration of osteosarcoma cell lines MG-63 and U2OS, but also induced U2OS apoptosis and inhibited MG-63 epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through TGF-β and Notch pathways. These results lead us to conclude that VAP has the potential ability to mediate osteosarcoma cells by regulating related signaling pathways and growth factors. Therefore, finding a new appropriate inhibitor for OS is a valuable research direction, which will give patients a better chance to receive proper therapy. From an applied perspective, this review summarized the effects of velvet antler, genes, growth factors and research progress of relative pathways and genes of osteosarcoma, which are poised to help link regenerative molecular biology and regenerative medicine in osteosarcoma pathogenesis.

Published: April 2019

The extraction behaviour of U(VI), Th(IV) and Nd(III) was investigated as a function of nitric acid concentration for diamide based extractants, namely, N,N,N′,N′-tetraoctyl-3-carbonylpentanediamide (TOCPDA) and 4-carbonyl-heptanedioic acid bis-dioctylamide (CHADA). In addition, the distribution ratio was also measured for Pu(IV) and Sr(II) with 1.1 M CHADA in n-dodecane. These extractants were synthesized by adopting simple acid, amine coupling reaction with DCC (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) and DMAP (N,N′-dimethylaminopyridine) as the coupling agent. The newly synthesized extractants were characterized by FT-IR, NMR, Mass, CHNS and HPLC. The extraction results indicated that CHADA shown has better extraction behavior for U(VI) compared to TOCPDA. In addition, CHADA coated HPLC column was examined for the retention behaviour of U(VI), Th(IV), and Nd(III). Computation studies based on density functional theory (DFT) were carried out to understand the complexing behaviour of U(VI), Pu(IV) and Sr(II) with CHADMA and TMCPDA.
Personality Pathology Profiles as Moderators of the Growing Pro-Social Program: Outcomes on Cognitive, Emotion, and Behavior Regulation in Male Prison Inmates
Authors: Brazão Nélio , Rijo Daniel , da Silva Diana Ribeiro , do Céu Salvador Maria , Pinto-Gouveia José
Published: April 2019

This study consisted of secondary data analysis of information collected from inmates who had participated in an earlier independent randomized controlled trial testing the effects of the Growing Pro-Social (GPS) program. The current study assessed personality disorders as moderators of the GPS effects in cognitive malfunctioning, emotion regulation strategies, and prison misconduct in male prison inmates. Participants were 254 inmates randomly assigned to either the GPS (n = 121) or the control group (n = 133). Participants completed self-report measures at four time points, and were interviewed with the SCID-II at baseline. Prison misconduct information was collected from prison records. Latent profile analysis identified four different personality pathology profiles. Mixed ANOVAs showed non-significant time × condition × personality pathology profiles effects, indicating that change on the outcome measures was not affected by personality pathology. Findings suggested that severely disturbed inmates could benefit from the GPS program, which stresses the need to provide appropriate treatment to offenders.
Suėmimo taikymo pokyčiai Lietuvoje: teisinės kultūros perspektyva
Authors: Bikelis Skirmantas

[full article and abstract in Lithuanian; abstract in English]

This article presents some of the results from the research project “DETOUR: Towards Pre-Trial Detention as Ultima Ratio,” funded by the European Commission (2016– 2017), where the author of the article, together with his colleague V. Pajaujis from the Law Institute of Lithuania, as well as project partners from Austria, Germany, Ireland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Romania, addressed the legal, procedural-structural and legal-cultural particularities in different countries that might be the roots of the different practices in pre-trial investigation when deciding on coercive measures for suspects. The research was particularly focused on the views and attitudes of the practitioners: judges, prosecutors, defense lawyers. Multiple semistructural interviews (no less than 35 per project partner), and four international events with the practitioners’ participation, have been carried out during the project.

First, the article presents and discusses the dynamics of statistics in pre-trial detention in Lithuania. Some factors that make impact on statistics that have no relation to the changes of the legal culture in pre-trial investigations are discussed. However, the author comes to the conclusion that even revised statistics indeed indicate a huge drop in the prevalence of pre-trial detention.

This assumption is further confirmed by the opinions of the respondents and by the particular instances of objective and subjective factors that might have impact on the downward trend in the application of pre-trial detention.

Among the objective factors, the positive experiences of the practitioners in the effective operation of the European arrest warrant have been noted. Also, the practice of the European Court of Human Rights, which emphasized the importance of the equality of parties and the adversarial principle in detention hearings, highly contributed to the elimination of ill-practices, whereas before and during the detention hearings prosecutors used to provide less information from files for the defense than for the judge.

The interviews with prosecutors and judges showed instances of a positive shift in attitudes from an orientation toward (or even an over-emphasis of) securing the proceedings to a reasonable balance between the interests of justice and the protection of human rights. It seems that this shift is closely connected with higher standards motivating pre-trial detention. Also, standards of professional contacts between the police and the prosecution, and between the prosecution and the judiciary, have reportedly risen quite substantially, especially in bigger cities.

Even though the Lithuanian justice system still employs more coercion in the pre-trial investigation (more detention) against suspects more than most of the European countries, the general outlook in this field is rather optimistic.
Gelbstint Kitą: karas ir taika Emmanuelio Levino filosofijoje

Published: April 2019

[straipsnis ir santrauka lietuvių kalba; santrauka anglų kalba] Šiame straipsnyje svarstoma karo ir taikos tema Emmanuelio Levino filosofijoje. Daugiausia dėmesio skiriama jo veikalui Totalybė ir begalybė (1961) ir siekiama parodyti, kad Levinas karą supranta kaip moralės suspendavimą. Teigiama, kad Levino filosofijoje karas atsiskleidžia, viena vertus, kaip istorinis įvykis, o antra vertus – kaip ontologinis principas. Savo ruožtu taika taip pat suprantama nevienodai – ir kaip opozicija karui, ir kaip eschatologija. Karo ir taikos santykis taip pat atskleidžia politikos ir etikos santykio problemą Levino filosofijoje. Šios temos savotiškai įrėmina Totalybę ir begalybę ir, jei totalybė yra karas, o begalybė – taika, alternatyvus šios knygos pavadinimas galėtų būti Karas ir taika.

Istorinis požiūris ir įvairūs šią sampratą rekonstruojantys šaltiniai perkeliami į meninį kontekstą, kuris iš dalies remiasi viduramžių tradicijomis, o iš dalies – jas interpretuoja. Kaip meno kūrinį, neįprastai atvaizduojantį tradiciją, pasirenkame Andrejaus Tarkovskio filmo „Andrejus Rubliovas“ novelę „Varpas“ ir joje veikiantį meistrą Boriską. Jo paveikslas leidžia ne tik analizuoti visiškai savitą Tarkovskio požiūrį į viduramžių tradicijas, mokymą, amatus ir meistrystę, laužant nusistovėjusią tvarką, bet ir aptikti daug bendrų sąsajų su Gilles’io Deleuze’o samprata apie kūrybą ir amatininko kaip tarpininko vaidmenį. Tokį sugretinimą leidžia daryti ir paties Deleuze’o dėmesys Tarkovskio kūrybai, ypač filmui „Andrejus Rubliovas“.

Objective To analyze how health professionals and health service users assess counseling on Rapid HIV test, as well as its implementation, which started in Brazil in 2010, focusing on positive aspects, barriers, and limitations, and analyzing possible meanings that are given to STD and HIV/AIDS.Method Qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive research. Semi-structured interviews were administered to 27 service users and 14 health care professionals; a thematic analysis of the interviews was performed. The study was carried out in one of the first Counseling and Testing Centers (CTC) designed to implement Rapid HIV tests in Porto Alegre, Brazil.Results Positive aspects of Rapid HIV testing implementation included a reduced waiting time for obtaining the test results, better assistance provision, an increase in the number of service hours, personalized pre- and post-tests, and better prepared health care professionals regarding health care during counseling. Limitations included beliefs about the effectiveness of Rapid HIV testing, physical structure, bad publicity on this technology, and poor health care capacity. Likewise, there are some who oppose this type of test, since they believe rapid tests may not be effective.Conclusions Integrating the perspectives of health care professionals and users on this policy will favor future rapid test implementations in other CTCs, and increase health care access possibilities.
On copure projective and cotorsion modules
Authors: Ren Wei , Zhang Duocai
Published: April 2019

Let R be an IF ring, or be a ring such that each right R-module has a monomorphic flat envelope and the class of flat modules is coresolving. We firstly give a characterization of copure projective and cotorsion modules by lifting and extension diagrams, which implies that the classes of copure projective and cotorsion modules have some balanced properties. Then, a relative right derived functor is introduced to investigate copure projective and cotorsion dimensions of modules. As applications, some new characterizations of QF rings, perfect rings and noetherian rings are given.
Roots in extensions of domains or monoids
Authors: Angermüller Gerhard
Published: April 2019

In this note connections between root extensions of monoids and some finiteness conditions on monoids are studied, giving new proofs and generalizing results of Etingof, Malcolmson and Okoh for domains. In the same spirit, results of Jedrzejewicz and Zielinski on root-closed extensions of domains are generalized and sharpened to monoids. Using the same methods, a criterion for being a completely integrally closed domain is generalized to monoids.
Dimensionally-Controlled Hydrothermal Tm3+-doped Oxidic Nanocrystals and Their Photoluminescence Properties
Authors: Calderón-Villajos Rocío , Zaldo Carlos , Cascales Concepción
Published: April 2019

Controlled reaction conditions in simple, template-free hydrothermal processes yield Tm-Lu2O3 and Tm-GdVO4 nanocrystals with well-defined specific morphologies and sizes. In both oxide families, nanocrystals prepared at pH 7 reaction media exhibit photoluminescence in ∼1.95 μm similar to bulk single crystals. For the lowest Tm3+ concentration (0.2 % mol) in GdVO4 measured 3H4 and 3F4 fluorescence lifetimes τ are very near to τrad.

Published: April 2019

We have developed a novel strategy for elaborating composite plasmonic
nanomaterials in a well controlled manner. Combining several techniques
commonly used in microelectronic engineering, namely sputtering deposition,
thermal oxidation, ultra low energy ion implantation, focused ion beam
lithography, thermal or laser annealing, we have obtained 3D patterned
optical layers. Their spatial and spectral responses take benefit of optical
interference, plasmonic resonance effects and coupling between excitations
in both near and far field regime. Moreover these structures show high level
of uniformity, reproducibility and stability, and they preserve flat and
chemically uniform surfaces.
Polarization Aspects of Localized Optical Spots Obtained Using
Plasmonic Nano-Antennas
Authors: Ogut Erdem , Sendur Kursat
Published: April 2019

Electromagnetic radiation beyond the diffraction limit with a particular
polarization emerges as a need for plasmonic applications. One of these
applications is all-optical magnetic recording, which requires
circularly-polarized electromagnetic radiation. In this study, a plasmonic
cross-dipole nano-antenna is illuminated with diffraction-limited linearly
polarized radiation. An optimal configuration for the nano-antenna and the
polarization angle of the incident light is identified to obtain linearly,
circularly, and elliptically polarized optical spots beyond the diffraction
limit. The Poincaré sphere representation is utilized to visually present
calculated Stokes parameters for optical spots with linear, circular, and
elliptical polarizations from specific antenna geometries.

Opracowania tekstów nieszpornych stanowiły drugą, obok mszy, grupę utworów chętnie podejmowanych przez kompozytorów tworzących na potrzeby Kościoła. Celebrowanie tej części officium divinum zyskało w ciągu wieków bogatą oprawę muzyczną, zwłaszcza w rycie monastycznym. Szczególny charakter miały vesperae na Jasnej Górze, gdzie codziennej modlitwie zakonników towarzyszyła paulińska kapela. Repertuar tego zespołu obejmował m.in. kompozycje twórców związanych z Częstochową, pełniących w klasztorze funkcje kapelmistrzów lub instrumentalistów.Artykuł prezentuje dzieła siedmiu kompozytorów związanych z Jasną Górą w XVIII wieku. Materiał przeanalizowano pod względem związków tekstu liturgicznego z oprawą dźwiękową, będącego kluczowym zagadnieniem ówczesnej sztuki kompozycji. Analizowane utwory wykazują cechy znamionujące twórców doby wczesnego klasycyzmu, chociaż nadal obecne są w nich środki charakterystyczne dla barokowych retorów. Jasnogórskie nieszpory są cennym świadectwem kultury dawnej Polski – jednym z nielicznych zabytków, które przetrwały do naszych czasów.

Published: April 2019

Representatives of sulfate-reducing bacteria are among the oldest microorganisms on Earth and play a key role in the global biogeochemical cycles of carbon and sulfur, especially in marine ecosystems. Using the modern molecular biological methods based on the analysis of genes 16S rRNA and dsrAB the heterogeneous phylogenetic composition of different communities of sulfate-reducing bacteria in the water column and sediments of the Barents, Baltic and Black seas was studied. In particular, we have found representatives of the genera Desulfovibrio,Desulfomicrobium, Desulfotomaculum, Desulfococcus, Desulfosarcina, Desulfobacter. For the first time, pure cultures were obtained and the psychrophilic black sea sulfate-reducing bacteria from the water column and bottom sediments of the Black sea were fully characterized. In particular, we described as a new species of Desulfofrigus euxinos, which has a wider range of used donors and electron acceptors than a typical strain.

Published: April 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. A two-year study was conducted to evaluate medical student perceptions on professionalism, including barriers to reporting misconduct and solutions to address barriers. Institutional changes occurred based on Year One findings: 1) a streamlined system (EthicsPoint®) was introduced to simplify the process of reporting and allow anonymous reports; 2) curriculum was revamped to include improved didactics on professionalism, instructions on using the EthicsPoint® system, and clerkship orientations that provided clear expectations of behavior by students, house-staff, and faculty; 3) semi-annually, students were asked to document witnessed misconduct, reassured that reports would be confidential, and reassured about protection from reprisal. In Year Two, we assessed changes in the culture of professionalism after institutional changes. Comparing Year Two to Year One, students demonstrated an increase in perceived confidence in ability to identify unprofessional behavior (p<0.01) and increased trust in protection from reprisal (p<0.01). In Year Two, students were more likely to report misconduct related to derogatory remarks about patients (p<0.01) and informed consent (p<0.01). By enhancing clarity about expectations for professional behavior, encouraging transparency through a streamlined and anonymous reporting process, and fostering trust that allows students to feel protected from reprisal, the culture of professionalism at an institution can be improved.

O argumento analógico de Darwin: a função da retórica entre o artificial e o natural
Authors: Piovezan Gustavo
Published: April 2019

RESUMO A teoria da evolução consolidou-se como paradigma da Biologia com a publicação, em 1859, da obra A origem das espécies, de Darwin. Nela foi exposta parte das experiências laboratoriais, bem como dados extraídos da investigação e reflexão de Darwin sobre a natureza, com a finalidade de fundamentar, por meio de uma analogia, a lei seletiva da natureza. A lógica e a retórica se fizeram presentes no texto darwiniano. Do ponto de vista filosófico, as pesquisas efetuadas sobre Darwin, pela tradição analítica da filosofia, desenvolvem trabalhos cujo objeto é o caráter lógico do argumento darwiniano. Neste artigo apresento uma perspectiva de análise advinda da tradição retórica, particularmente da teoria da argumentação de Chaïm Perelman.

RESUMO Neste artigo, tomamos como objeto de estudo, por um lado, excertos do texto do Projeto de Lei 6299 de 2002 - PL6299-2002, designado como Lei dos Agrotóxicos, de autoria do Ministro da Agricultura do governo Michel Temer, Blairo Maggi, cujo objetivo é flexibilizar os critérios de aprovação e análise de riscos, e propor mudanças nos nomes que são dados atualmente aos agrotóxicos e, por outro, a polêmica gerada em torno da recente aprovação desse projeto na Comissão Especial da Câmara dos Deputados. Para discutir esse último objetivo, tomamos alguns fragmentos de textos que circularam em diversos mídiuns1 brasileiros questionando a aprovação do supracitado projeto, designando-o como Pacote do Veneno ou PL do Veneno. Ancoramos teoricamente nosso trabalho nas recentes contribuições de Ruth Amossy (2017) acerca do caráter argumentativo da polêmica e também nas proposições de Marie-Anne Paveau (2015) sobre as relações entre linguagem e moral, especialmente no tocante ao conceito de amemória discursiva.
A escrita feminina entre a fronteira e o não lugar: discursos femininos em ascensão na Literatura Italiana de Migração
Authors: Gherlone Laura
Published: April 2019

RESUMO Durante o processo da Perestroika soviética, Iuri Lotman escreveu reflexões sobre o conceito de fronteira. Como testemunhou migrações em massa, expulsões forçadas e reconfigurações etnogeográficas sem precedentes, sabia o quanto uma fronteira pode ser carregada de significado cultural que transcende sua dimensão espacial. Ter esse tipo de consciência era ainda mais urgente tendo em vista ser esse um período histórico de transição, reconstrução e abertura, quando as políticas linguístico-culturais poderiam ser um meio de promover integração e aceitação do "estrangeiro". Esta contribuição parte desse quadro histórico-conceitual e busca analisar um fenômeno cultural de grande interesse na literatura italiana contemporânea: a presença "intrusa" crescente de escritoras das antigas colônias que escolheram escrever suas obras em uma língua estrangeira, o italiano, usando a escrita como um campo de experimentação, hibridismo cultural e criação de um espaço discursivo público que traz o olhar da mulher migrante.
CLASS-BASED AFFINITY PROPAGATION FOR HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGE DIMENSIONALITY REDUCTION AND IMPROVEMENT OF MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD CLASSIFICATION ACCURACY
Authors: Moiane André , Machado Alvaro Muriel Lima
Published: April 2019

Abstract This paper investigates an alternative classification method that integrates class-based affinity propagation (CAP) clustering algorithm and maximum likelihood classifier (MLC) with the purpose of overcome the MLC limitations in the classification of high dimensionality data, and thus improve its accuracy. The new classifier was named CAP-MLC, and comprises two approaches, spectral feature selection and image classification. CAP clustering algorithm was used to perform the image dimensionality reduction and feature selection while the MLC was employed for image classification. The performance of MLC in terms of classification accuracy and processing time is determined as a function of the selection rate achieved in the CAP clustering stage. The performance of CAP-MLC has been evaluated and validated using two hyperspectral scenes from the Airborne Visible Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) and the Hyperspectral Digital Imagery Collection Experiment (HYDICE). Classification results show that CAP-MLC observed an enormous improvement in accuracy, reaching 94.15% and 96.47% respectively for AVIRIS and HYDICE if compared with MLC, which had 85.42% and 81.50%. These values obtained by CAP-MLC improved the MLC classification accuracy in 8.73% and 14.97% for these images. The results also show that CAP-MLC performed well, even for classes with limited training samples, surpassing the limitations of MLC.
STRATEGY FOR EXTRACTION OF FOURSQUARE’S SOCIAL MEDIA GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION THROUGH DATA MINING

Published: April 2019

Abstract This aim of this paper is the acquisition of geographic data from the Foursquare application, using data mining to perform exploratory and spatial analyses of the distribution of tourist attraction and their density distribution in Rio de Janeiro city. Thus, in accordance with the Extraction, Transformation, and Load methodology, three research algorithms were developed using a tree hierarchical structure to collect information for the categories of Museums, Monuments and Landmarks, Historic Sites, Scenic Lookouts, and Trails, in the foursquare database. Quantitative analysis was performed of check-ins per neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro city, and kernel density (hot spot) maps were generated The results presented in this paper show the need for the data filtering process - less than 50% of the mined data were used, and a large part of the density of the Museums, Historic Sites, and Monuments and Landmarks categories is in the center of the city; while the Scenic Lookouts and Trails categories predominate in the south zone. This kind of analysis was shown to be a tool to support the city's tourist management in relation to the spatial localization of these categories, the tourists’ evaluations of the places, and the frequency of the target public.
Concrete compressive strength variation due to cement source change
Authors: Brown Jared L. , Howard Isaac L. , Varner Robert
Published: April 2019

Cementitious materials obtained from different sources, although evaluated and classified by the same methods and criteria, inevitably produce concrete with compressive strength variance despite other inputs and constituents remaining constant. This paper investigates the effect of cement by type and source on strength as a function of supplementary cementitious material (SCM) replacement and aggregate type. This was accomplished by compiling and analysing compressive strength data from previous research initiatives; it was concluded that a cement source change can produce coefficients of variation, range and range divided by average compressive strength values up to 18%, 2700 psi (18·6 MPa) and 0·40, respectively, at 14 to 56 d time frames. Concrete comprising SCMs displayed a statistically significant increase in compressive strength variation and a general decrease in compressive strength predictability against mixtures without SCMs when a cement source was changed, and specific aggregate/cementitious material combinations influenced compressive strength variability due to a change in the cement source.
Translating sustainable diets into practice: the potential of public food procurement
Authors: Sonnino Roberta
Published: April 2019

Com base em apelos generalizados por políticas e estratégias de desenvolvimento que alinhem objetivos humanos e ecológicos, um número crescente de estudiosos e profissionais está recorrendo ao conceito de “dieta sustentável” como um princípio orientador para abordar as implicações multidimensionais da produção de alimentos na sociedade, no meio ambiente e na economia. Depois de discutir os princípios fundamentais deste conceito e fornecer alguns exemplos da sua aplicação prática, este artigo explora o potencial da aquisição de alimentos no desenvolvimento de dietas sustentáveis em compras públicas de alimentos. Uma revisão crítica da literatura mostra que há três barreiras principais que precisam ser superadas para incorporar os princípios da “dieta sustentável” nas compras públicas: a primazia de um ethos rígido, “value for money”, que reforça uma cultura avessa ao risco em torno da provisão de alimentos públicos que inibe indivíduos e organizações de impulsionar a mudança; a tendência dos governos de promover abordagens "silenciadas" para mudar a liderança em questões como as compras públicas, que inibem os níveis de compartilhamento de conhecimento e esforço coletivo entre os departamentos necessários para sustentar a reforma sustentável de aquisições; e falta de conhecimento técnico relacionado a compras sustentáveis e fornecimento sustentável de alimentos.

Finding analytical solutions to the problems of thermal conductivity with variable physical properties of the medium by classical analytical methods is very complicated mathematically. The known expressions repre-senting complex infinite series including two types of Bessel functions and gamma-functions are, in fact, numerical as they require a numerical solution to complex transcendental equations with eigenvalues of the boundary problem. Such solutions can hardly be used in engineering applications, especially in cases when a solution to a certain problem is only an intermediate stage in other problems (such as thermoelasticity and control problems, inverse problems, etc.) which can be solved effectively only by finding analytical solutions to the initial problems. Therefore, an urgent problem now is to develop new methods of obtaining analytical solutions to the abovementioned problems, at least approximate ones. The study employed methods of additional boundary conditions and additional unknown functions in the integral method of heat balance. High-precision approximate analytical solutions to the transient heat conduction problem with nonhomogeneous physical properties of the medium for an infinite plate under symmetric boundary conditions of the first type have been obtained. The initial problem for partial differential equations is reduced to two problems in which ordinary differential equations are integrated. Additional boundary conditions are defined in such a way that their fulfillment in accordance with the new method is equivalent to the result of solving the initial partial differential equation at the boundary points and at the temperature perturbation front (for the first stage of the process). By combining methods with finite and infinite heat propagation rate we have been able to obtain high-precision analytical solutions for the whole time range of the unsteady process including its small and ultra small values. The solutions look like simple algebraical polynomials not including special functions (Bessel, Legendre, gamma-functions and others). Since it is not necessary to directly integrate the initial equations by the space variable and to reduce them to ordinary differential equations with additional unknown functions, the considered method can be used for solving complex boundary problems in which differential equations do not allow distinguishing between the variables (into nonlinear, with linear boundary conditions and heat sources, etc.).

Published: April 2019

Başlangıcı 2011 yılına dayanan Suriye topraklarındaki iç savaş, 2014 yılında DAEŞ terör örgütünün hilafeti ilan etmesiyle bambaşka bir boyut kazanmıştır. Büyük küçük birçok aktörün sahada olduğu Suriye ve Irak savaşları terörle mücadele adı altında tüm hızıyla sürüp giderken, hem bölge ülkeleri nezdinde, hem de Avrupa Birliği özelinde yeni tehdit alanları yaratmıştır. DAEŞ terör örgütünün elde ettiği toprakları kaybetmesini müteakip yeniden teşkilatlanıp farklı metotlarla ideolojisini sürdürmek ve hilafeti yaymak şeklindeki hedeflerini gerçekleştirme çabalarına devam edeceği öngörülmektedir. Bu durum içerisinde Avrupa ülkeleri ise mevcut radikal grupların ve geri dönen yabancı terörist savaşçıların ortaya çıkardığı tehdit ile karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Çalışma DAEŞ terör örgütünün evrilip yeni koşullara nasıl uyum sağladığı, yabancı terörist savaşçıların AB ülkelerindeki potansiyel risk/tehdit durumları ve AB’nin konuyla ilgili aldığı kurumsal tedbirleri içermektedir.
Les émotions de l’eau dans la littérature sentimentale. Le cycle de Marie de Jean-Philippe Toussaint
Authors: Maziarczyk Anna
Published: April 2019

The aim of this paper is to analyse diverse representations of water in Jean-Philippe Toussaint’s cycle of Mary and the textual effects they produce. Water is not only the crucial aspect of the represented world but also the key narrative component, which shapes the plot, creates nostalgic atmosphere and reveals the philosophical dimension of the novel classifiable as romance. Drawing on selected theories of elements, the paper examines the ways in which Toussaint uses the emotions carried by water to create intensity and depth in a novel about love.
Thermophysical properties of noble gas mixtures with low Prandtl number
Authors: Egorov K.S. , Stepanova L.V.
Published: April 2019

The article investigates thermal (thermal conductivity and viscosity) and thermodynamic (density, heat capacity, enthalpy, compression coefficient) properties of inert gases and their mixtures, which are used as the main working medium in promising closed gas turbine for the space needs. Closed gas turbines can be used in various space applications – unmanned spacecrafts, communication satellites and manned martian mission. Experimental research into thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of noble gases and their mixtures is considered. It was revealed that by this time enough amounts of experimental data concerning the properties of both single inert gases and their mixtures had been obtained. These data are used in different models based on kinetic theory of gases and virial real gas condition equation which makes possible to predict necessary thermophysical parameters. While calculating and designing closed gas-turbine installations it is necessary to take into account adiabatic change and Prandtl number of inert gas mixtures. While approaching working parameters to xenon saturation line one should consider the increase of calculated dependency errors

Authors: Ali Abdul Wakil
Published: April 2019

Lakhipur Community Development block of Goalpara district of Assam has been selected for the study. The reason behind selection of the area is that Kohlrabi, Carrot and Cauliflower play a significant role in the economy of the district.
Growing vegetables sector provides opportunities for employment generation, attain income and food security and increase income through value addition. However, due to the absence of efficient marketing facilities and processing units farmers do not
receive remunerative prices. As most of the vegetable crops are perishable, their harvest and marketing are very crucial for boosting the development of these crops. It was observed that about 4.03 per cent of Kohlrabi, 3.57 per cent of Carrot and
3.22 per cent of Cauliflower’s scope for increasing producer’s share in consumer’s price. And also seen that absence of proper marketing facilities in the post harvest operations from the farmers to the consumers are found responsible for the wide
price spread.

The present study for comparison of aromatic crop tulsi (Ocimum basilicum) and cereal crop paddy (Orzya sativa) cultivation has been carried out at farmers’ field of Sitapur district of Uttar Pradesh. The tulsi is an essential oil bearing
plant. Oil of this plant is highly valuable and is used in flavour, cosmetic and pharmaceuticals industry. Paddy has been cultivated in our country as a major food grain crop since long time. During the study period 50 farmers under cultivating tulsi
and paddy has been selected from Sitapur District of Uttar Pradesh. The primary data were collected from the selected farmer’s field on profitability comparison between tulsi and paddy cultivation. Simple statistical tools and technique has been used
for data analysis of the socio-economic profile, cost of cultivation, profitability. It has been observed during the study that tulsi gives higher returns over paddy. However, the input cost of paddy is higher than tulsi crop but the net return of
tulsi was more profitable than paddy. The benefit cost ratio has been observed 2.70 and 1.34 of tulsi and paddy respectively. It is suggested from the study that maximum profit is generated through tulsi cultivation followed by paddy crop. This study
can set an example of profitability model for entrepreneurship development in other part of country.
