Authors: Yuliza Evi , Maya Fitri , Supadi Siti Suzlin
Published: April 2021

Garbage is one of the environmental problems. The process of transporting garbage sometimes occurs delays such as congestion and engine failure. Robust optimization model called a robust counterpart open capacitated vehicle routing problem (RCOCVRP) with time windows was formulated to get over this delays. This model has formulated with the limitation of vehicle capacity and time windows with an uncertainty of waste volume and travel time. The RCOCVRP model with time windows is solved by a heuristic approach. The heuristic approach used to solve the RCOCVRP model with time windows uses the nearest neighbor and the cheapest insertion heuristic algorithm. The RCOCVRP with time windows model is implemented on the problem of transporting waste in Sako sub-district. The solutions of these two heuristic approaches are compared and analyzed. The RCOCVRP model with time windows to optimize the route problems of waste transport vehicles that is solved using the cheapest insertion heuristics algorithm is more effective than the nearest neighbor method.

Published: April 2021

Diabetes is a chronic disease that can cause serious illness. Women are four times more likely to develop heart problems caused by diabetes. Women are also more prone to experience complications due to diabetes, such as kidney problems, depression, and decreased vision quality. Nearly 200 million women worldwide are affected by diabetes, with two out of five affected by the disease being women of reproductive age. This paper aims to predict women with at least 21 years of age having diabetes based on eight diagnostic measurements using the statistical learning methods; Multinomial Naive Bayes, Fisher Discriminant Analysis, and Logistic Regression. Model validation is built based on dividing the data into training data and test data based on 5-fold cross-validation. The model validation performance shows that the Gaussian Naïve Bayes is the best method in predicting diabetes diagnosis. This paper’s contribution is that all performance measures of the Multinomial Naïve Bayes method have a value greater than 93 %. These results are beneficial in predicting diabetes status with the same explanatory variables.

Published: April 2021

Tenderization is an important method to improve the quality and palatability of meat. In comparison to conventional chemical and physical methods of meat tenderization, enzymatic treatment is more economical and healthy. In the present study proteolytic enzyme bromelain was used for this purpose. Bromelain enzyme was extracted from pineapple, quantified and optimized concentration was used for treating the muscle fibre of meat. Tenderness was measured. pH and cooking loss were not significantly (P>0.05) decreased, but water-holding capacity and protein content were significantly (P<0.05) increased with the concentration and ageing. Duration of marination was optimized and SDS- PAGE electrophoresis was conducted to estimate protein. The results proved that bromelain enzyme is an effective method of tenderization used to improve the quality of meat.

QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN FRANCE
Authors: Mospan Natalia , Durdas Alla
Published: April 2021

The article presents the quality assurance of higher education in France and reveals the system structure peculiar features. The authors characterize the activity of national agencies for external and internal quality assessment. We show that the formation of French quality assurance in higher education has lasted for three decades. The periodization of the quality assurance shaping in higher education is determined based on reforming the principal national agency for quality. The article illustrates the national legislative documents that regulate external and internal French quality assurance. We believe that a specific feature of the French system of quality assurance in higher education is its subordination to agencies (ENQA and EQAR) at the EU level. The article reveals that the French system of quality assurance in higher education is regulated by legal documents («Standards and recommendations for quality assurance in the EHEA»(ESG)) at the European level; a number of national laws, including the Law on Finance (2001), the Law on Freedom and Responsibility of Universities (2007), the Law on Higher Education and Research (2013); national recommendations and handbooks that form the norms and procedures for assessing the quality of universities. Higher education quality assurance is provided through external assessment and internal self-assessment by universities at the national level. The specificity of the French external quality assessment system’s structure lies in the variety of external agencies and their powers. The High Council for Evaluation in Research and Higher Education (Hcéres) is an independent body. The others external agencies are the Inspectorate General for Public Administration of Education and Training (IGAENR), the Commission of Chartered Engineers (CTI), the Commission for the Evaluation of Management Training and Diplomas (CEFDG) and the Advisory National Commission of University Institutes of Technology (CCN-IUT). National external assessment agencies have a sectoral focus and work in a specific segment, relying on internal quality control procedures. Internal self-assessment is mandatory for all French universities that issue state-recognized diplomas.
National culture as a strategy for self-preservation of personality: Yuri Shevelov and the World War II
Authors: Shestopalova Tetiana
Published: April 2021

The urgency of the topic is due to the increased interest of modern society to the existence of a particular individual in the dehumanizing geopolitical and hybrid conflicts. Culture is an existential source of restoration of a human personal resource. The methods developed in it to protect against various threats to the world are specified in the practices and discourses of national cultures. The latter give their bearers hope for the preservation of life in the circumstances of cardinal socio-historical changes that threaten the collapse of the individual and the whole national community. The subject of study in the article is the phenomenon of the personality of the intellectual-humanitarian in the circumstances of World War II. According to S. Krymsky, personality is seen as the result of moral efforts that raise a person above the individual physical threshold to the level of responsible existence and harmony with the spirit. The objective of the study is to outline the importance of the national cultural environment in the crystallization of the personality of the Ukrainian writer and cultural agent, American and Ukrainian academic philologist Yuri Shevelov (1908–2002) in Ukraine during the Second World War. The first book of his memoirs «I — myself — to me… (and all around)» — «In Ukraine» provided material for reflection. This text has several reprints and is well known to interested readers. However, his leitmotif — national culture as the daily salvation of the intellectual in historical and geopolitical cataclysms — still remains uncomprehend. This is the novelty of the proposed work. Its theoretical and methodological basis is the phenomenology of culture of S. Krymsky. On the other hand, the history of survival and preservation of Yuri Shevelov as an intellectual personality is inseparable from the history of his everyday life. This explains the appeal to the studies of everyday history. As a result of the research caused by the interest in the life of Yu. Shevelov during the Second World War, the main factors of his personal project in the dynamics of the Ukrainian national and cultural discourse were characterized. The issue of modern Ukrainian culture as one of the key criteria for understanding non-national cultural phenomena needs further coverage. The article is presented in two issues. This part deals with the family factors of Yuri Shevelov’s personality and his cultural activity as a survival strategy in Kharkiv during the World War II.

Published: April 2021

This article discusses the problems of information security in "SmartCity" systems. The comparison of existing solutions and data protocols for wired solutions, such as IPsec, SSL, TLS and wireless systems: ZigBee, Z-Wave, Thread, WeMo. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the existing systems are analyzed. The SmartCity system must be able to recognize a specific situation that arises in the house, city, workplace, when processing large amounts of data, to respond accordingly: one of the systems can control the behavior of other systems using a pre-designed algorithm. The main purpose of the "SmartCity" system is to save energy, which is becoming increasingly important due to their rise in price in Ukraine. Therefore, intellectualization is becoming increasingly popular, catching up with global trends in home automation. However, despite the development and gradual formal and informal standardization of smart city technologies, and any home automation, there is still the problem of choosing protocols for the transfer of information between controlled devices, sensors and other elements. This problem is especially serious when it is necessary to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data circulating in the system. The purpose of this study is to find a secure network protocol that allows you to use it in automatic signaling equipment, so you can not use special software and hardware solutions to affect the confidentiality and integrity of information.In the article is not the last issue of information security such a house of the city government system or production, can cause very great damage to its owner. As remote management and access to information are quite common nowadays, secure schemes, encryption and protection schemes should be used to reduce the percentage of vulnerabilities and prevent intruders from causing harm.
DEVELOPMENT OF MACHINE LEARNING METHOD WITH BIOMETRIC PROTECTION WITH NEW FILTRATION METHODS
Authors: Nazarkevych Mariya , Voznyi Yaroslav , Nazarkevych Hanna
Published: April 2021

Biometric images were processed and filtered by a newly developed Ateb-Gabor wavelet filter. Identification of biometric images was performed by machine learning methods. The Gabor filter based on Ateb functions is effective for filtering because it contains generalizations of trigonometric functions. Developed wavelet transform of Ateb-Gabor function. It is shown that the function depends on seven parameters, each of which makes significant changes in the results of filtering biometric images. A study of the wavelet Ateb-Gabor function was performed. The graphical dependences of the Gabor filter wavelet and the Ateb-Gabor filter wavelet are constructed. The introduction of wavelet transforms reduces the complexity of Ateb-Gabor filter calculations by simplifying function calculations and reducing filtering time. The complexity of the algorithms for calculating the Gabor filter wavelet and the Ateb-Gabor filter wavelet is evaluated. Ateb-Gabor filtering allows you to change the intensity of the entire image, and to change certain ranges, and thus change certain areas of the image. It is this property that biometric images should have, in which the minions should be contrasting and clear. Ateb functions have the ability to change two rational parameters, which, in turn, will allow more flexible control of filtering. The properties of the Ateb function are investigated, as well as the possibility of changing the amplitude of the function, the oscillation frequency to the numerical values ​​of the Ateb-Gabor filter. By using the parameters of the Ateb function, you can get a much wider range of shapes and sizes, which expands the number of possible filtering options. You can also implement once filtering, taking into account the direction of the minutes and reliably determine the sharpness of the edges, rather than filtering batocrates. The reliability results were tested on the basis of NIST Special Database 302, and good filtration results were shown. This was confirmed by a comparison experiment between the Wavelet-Gabor filtering and the Ateb-Gabor wavelet function based on the measurement of the PSNR signal-to-noise ratio.

Mental Health and the Self-Tracking Student
Authors: Weinberg Lindsay
Published: April 2021

This article examines universities’ adoption of WellTrack—a self-tracking mobile phone application modeled on cognitive behavioral therapy techniques—as a solution to reported increases in the prevalence and severity of student mental health conditions. Drawing from a feminist materialist perspective that understands discourse and the material word as co-produced, this article argues that the app’s design, marketing, and reception are deeply intertwined with the political rationality of neoliberalism, which centers self-responsibility and the market economy. The article first situates the development of the WellTrack app within larger institutional and political shifts towards digital education governance. It then contextualizes the app’s use within the history of college mental health services in the United States, revealing how longstanding socio-medical discourses concerning student wellness individualize structural and systemic factors of ill health. Through close reading and immanent critique of the marketing and media reception of the WellTrack app’s introduction into universities, the article provides an account of how universities are socializing students to relinquish data to private firms in exchange for health services. Students are encouraged to engage in constant self-examination and strive towards a vision of student wellness that precludes an analysis of the structural conditions and intersecting oppressions contributing to poor student mental health. These conditions are social and pervasive, requiring institutional analysis and critique of the university itself.
Hormonal Advantage: Retracing Exploitative Histories of Workplace Menstrual Tracking
Authors: Fox Sarah , Spektor Franchesca
Published: April 2021

Technologies and self-help protocols associated with menstrual tracking have gained popularity over the past decade, with wellness consultants such as Alisa Vitti at the helm. Through careful monitoring and lifestyle changes, such techniques promise to unleash an inherent hormonal advantage that can extend one’s personal and professional pursuits. Though seemingly new, these approaches to menstrual monitoring have an historical lineage born of corporate management. Now being sold as feminist, they draw on a belief in menstrual deficit, or an understanding of menstruation along productivist lines focused on curbing workplace absenteeism and enhancing personal optimization. In bringing together cases from over the last century, this paper seeks to establish a through line of economization and imagine instead how workplace tracking might be leveraged toward worker mobilization and bargaining for collective gains.

Published: April 2021

This study examines the determinants of age at first marriage among the university teachers in Algeria. A Weibull proportional hazard and multivariable logistic regressions models were used on data set from a survey covering a sample of 682 teachers. The findings revealed that: The median ages at first marriage are: 36 and 39.4 years for men and women, respectively, with a gap of 3.1 and 8 years from the general population. For: birth order, teacher specialty, study place and working before joining the academic staff all together explain a very small percent of the variation of the age at marriage; in contrast, Housing, salaries’ level, and a suitable partner were the hidden factors determining the age at marriage. As policy implications, policy-makers have to focus on these factors in order to help teachers to satisfy this biological and sociological need.

Small Ubiquitin-Related Modifier-1 Programs Granulosa the Cell Apoptosis in Mice Ovary
Authors: Yang Feifei
Published: April 2021

The small ubiquitin-related modiﬁers (SUMO-1/2/3) have been in the limelight as crucial dictators of a spectrum of biological events including normal growth and development. SUMO-1 protein is important for post-translational modification which is required for a variety of biological processes including organ development and organelle biogenesis. However, its functional relevance in mammalian ovary still remains to be explored. Herein, we found that SUMO-1 consistently localizes in granulosa cells (GCs), oocytes and corpus luteum during mice folliculogenesis. Moreover, the SUMO-1 conjugates particularly those which molecular weight correspond to 34-, 43-, and 72 KDa were highly presented in ovaries and were dynamically influenced by PMSG and/or hCG administration, further buttressing that SUMO-1 was expressed in mouse ovary. Additionally, mutation at G96/97A (binding site) changed the localization of SUMO-1 from nucleus to both cytoplasm and nucleus. With some diffusion from nucleus into cytoplasm, and the apoptosis in GCs was significantly triggered by overexpression of both SUMO-1 and its mutant SUMO-1G96/97A with more significantly induced by the latter form. Over-expression of wild-type SUMO-1 and mutant SUMO-1G96/97A significantly induced (P<0.001) apoptosis in GCs, but the mutant SUMO-1 induced higher apoptotic rate (P<0.001) than over expressed SUMO-1. Overall, our study determines the expression of SUMO-1 in mouse ovary and pinpoints SUMO-1 as a determinant of GCs biology which is essential for mammalian ovary function.
