Static bending and free vibration analysis of functionally graded porous plates laid on elastic foundation using the meshless method
Authors: Van Vu Tan , Tai Nguyen Huynh Tan , Hung Nguyen Ngoc
Published: May 2021

This paper presents a numerical approach for static bending and free vibration analysis of the functionally graded porous plates (FGPP) resting on the elastic foundation using the refined quasi-3D sinusoidal shear deformation theory (RQSSDT) combined with the Moving Kriging–interpolation meshfree method. The plate theory considers both shear deformation and thickness-stretching effects by the sinusoidal distribution of the in-plane displacements, satisfies the stress-free boundary conditions on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without shear correction coefficient. The advantage of the plate theory is that the displacement field of plate is approximated by only four variables leading to reduce computational efforts. Comparison studies are performed for the square FGPP with simply supported all edges to verify the accuracy of the present approach. The effect of the aspect ratio, volume fraction exponent, and elastic foundation parameters on the static deflections and natural frequency of FGPP are also investigated and discussed.

Published: May 2021

The article presents the results of the longitudinal study, which was conducted during the years 2018 and 2019 and aimed to identify changes in the assessment of certain socio-economic and psychological aspects of working and living in the Arctic by students of different courses. Special attention was paid to such factors as transport and social infrastructure, working conditions, wages, social guarantees, the climate, health status, the psychological atmosphere in a team, the possibility of self-realization. The sample population at the first stage of the study was 618 people (2018). After bringing the 2019-sample in line with the parameters of the 2018-sample, 337 students’ questionnaires were analyzed in the second stage. The main research method was a questionnaire survey, the results of which were statistically processed using such methods as the qualitative analysis of the empirical data, the analysis of primary statistics, the analysis of contingency tables (for nominative data), comparative and variance analyses (for metric data). The software “Statistica” was used for statistical processing. The main results of the study, first of all, include an increase in internal motivation to work in the Arctic among the students from the 2019-sample: they, to a greater extent, compared to junior students, emphasize the need for personal interest in work. The analysis of the answers of the respondents in year 2019 showed an increasing role of wages and the understanding of difficult climate conditions and the associated difficulties of living in deciding whether to work in the Arctic. In other words, the longitudinal study, implemented during the years 2018 and 2019, recorded the obvious increase in motivation, as well as the increase in the requirements for working and living conditions in the harsh Arctic climate among the surveyed students during their transition to the senior year.
The Potential of Silence in Education: Methodological and Didactic Prerequisites
Authors: Korol A. D.
Published: May 2021

This paper investigates philosophical, cultural and didactic potential of silence in education. The author substantiates that in the world of ever-augmenting speaking, the student’s silence is manifested as a stage, when there is nothing to say for oneself. This is attributable to the monologue nature of education, the main meanings, goals and the content of which is to convey the multicultural experience of mankind to a “monocultural” student. At the same time, there is a huge potential for silence as competence whereby a student generates his new meanings, knowledge, questions. The paper presents a comparative analysis of the didactics of Eastern and Western cultures core parameters as creativity, dialogism, interactivity. The author concludes that despite the sufficiently large number of the silence phenomenon studies in pedagogy, they mainly affect the methodical le[1]vel. In reliance on philosophical, linguistic, psychosocial research, the article originally examines the methodological foundations of the design and implementation of the didactics of silence. Particular attention is paid to the links between silence, “questioning” and heuristics. It is indicated that silence in teaching factors into exponential development and the formation of such future competencies as creativity, communication, and the affective sphere.
Humanitarian Contexts of Technical Education in Russia
Authors: Andreev A. L.
Published: May 2021

The article deals with the problem of formation of social and humanitarian competen[1]cies in Russian engineering education. The author shows how different views on the relationship between man and machine, as well as between society and the technosphere, were translated into various public initiatives and analyzes the impact of these initiatives on the evolution of approaches to engineering education. Special attention is paid to the promotion of the ideology of design think[1]ing and the movement for the humanitarization of engineering education. Both gained a consider[1]able popularity in the last quarter of the twentieth century. However, in modern conditions, the relationship between technological progress and the development of human society is taking on new forms that require new answers. There are also new risks – in particular, the risk of complete de[1]humanization of technological progress and the unclear prospect of the formation of a so-called post-human civilization. Social assessment of technology and the development of value-based tech[1]nologies are possible answers. They have received a very significant support in the United States and Western Europe. In particular, several European conferences on this topic have already been held within the EU (the latest one took place in Bratislava in 2019). However, due to some features of the Russian intellectual tradition, as well as the pronounced techno-optimism of mass consciousness, the Russian academic environment has not yet shown sufficient interest to implant these approaches in technical education. The possibility of managing the current technological progress on the basis of a dialogue with civil society, which is popular in the European Union, is also not considered in Russian intellectual environments. At the same time, the leading technical universities in Russia are gradually developing a network of enthusiasts who are studying the European practice of social assessment of technology and its adaptation to Russian conditions. Such adapted practices may become the con[1]ceptual guidelines for Russian engineering education.

Published: May 2021

Yeşil alanlardan beklenen işlevin karşılanabilmesi için kent genelinde sistem bütünlüğü içerisinde ele alınması gerekmektedir. Kentsel yeşil alanların doğal sistemler ve diğer açık alanlarla bağlantısının yeşil koridorlar ile kurulması anlayışına dayanan “yeşil alt yapı sistemi” yeşil alanların ekolojik, estetik, rekreasyonel ve ekonomik işlevlerini yerine getirmesinde oldukça önemli rol üstlenmektedir. Diğer taraftan fiziki mekânlarda yararlanıcıya özgü ihtiyaçların belirlenmesi ve kullanıcı memnuniyetinin kazanılması esasına dayanan “sosyal tasarım yaklaşımı” önemsenmektedir. Araştırmada sosyal tasarım yaklaşımı doğrultusunda Bingöl kentinin yeşil alt yapı performansı ve kullanıcı memnuniyeti analiz edilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak anket formu oluşturulmuştur. Yeşil altyapı performansının değerlendirilmesi için Delphi tekniği kullanılarak 16 adet başarı kriteri belirlenmiştir. Anket basit tesadüfi örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak 658 kişiye uygulanmıştır. Anket sonuçlarının analizinde temel istatistiki yöntemlerin yanında katılımcıların bireysel özelliklerine göre tercihleri çoklu uygunluk analizi (correspondence) yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Kentin yeşil alt yapı performansı için beş puan üzerinden yapılan değerlendirmede; ortalama 2,12 puan olmak üzere 1,86 ile 2,59 puan arasında sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Katılımcıların yeşil alanlardan yoğun biçimde yararlandıkları ve pasif rekreasyonu daha fazla tercih ettikleri, özellikle 51 yaşından büyük bireylerin “çocuklarını gezdirmek”, 21-35 yaş arası bireylerin “spor ve yürüyüş yapmak”, orta gelirli bireylerin “dinlenmek ve stres atmak”, erkek katılımcıların ise “sosyal aktivitede bulunmak” amacıyla yeşil alanlardan ağırlıklı olarak yararlandıkları görülmüştür. Yapılan fiziki ölçüm ve gözlemlere göre ise kentin yeşil alan mevcudiyetinin planlı bir “yeşil alt yapı” sistemini karşılamadığı ve kişi başına 7,6 m2 yeşil alan düşmekle birlikte kullanıcı memnuniyetini sağlayamadığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada kentin yeşil alt yapısının güçlendirilmesi ve kullanıcı memnuniyetinin sağlanması için çeşitli öneriler sunulmuştur. Mevcut yeşil alanların nitelik ve niceliğinin artırılması, kullanıcı ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda fonksiyonellik kazandırılması ve yeşil alana erişimde fırsat eşitliğinin sağlanması için ilave kent parklarının hizmete sunulması gibi öneriler öne çıkmaktadır.

Nowadays, as in many sectors, natural and cultural resources face the danger of extinction due to misuse and consumption-oriented life in tourism. Within the framework of the sustainability tourism principle, these resources should be determined, protected, and developed. With the advance technology, the use of photogrammetry offers new methods for surveying natural and cultural resources. In this study, the photographs of two historical sites were taken with a high-resolution handheld camera in order to evaluate the potential of terrestrial photogrammetry approach in the cultural heritage. Then, these photographs were used to develop three-dimensional models of the two sites using two different software-Agisoft Metashape and 3D Zephyr Free. For this study, two important cultural and historical heritages were selected; both located in the center of Giresun province in Turkey. The 3D models of the heritages developed using two software were compared to evaluate the capability of the software. In the evaluation process, 13 photographs for the historical door and 50 photographs for the shrine were used to generate 3D models. According to the evaluation of the models, it was observed that the model generated for the front surface of the Public Garden door provided more detailed and accurate results in both software. When these two programs are compared for the shrine, Agisoft Metashape produced a better 3D model than 3D Zephyr. The results also showed that the photographs obtained from a low-cost handheld camera could provide highly accurate and precise data for documentation of historical and cultural heritages.

The traditional approach to water quality monitoring involves manually sampling water at remote sites and transporting it to a laboratory for chemical analysis. New technology and instrumentation have improved our ability to monitor water quality continuously regardless of weather and accessibility. Specialized probes measure water quality parameters, electronic logging devices record and store data, and automatic samplers capture multiple water samples on either time or flow intervals. Telecommunication devices allow data to be downloaded remotely to an office or a laboratory, which makes site monitoring much easier, especially from remote locations. This document is Fact Sheet SL218, a publication of the Soil and Water Science Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Published: May 2021

Indonesia is a large archipelago country with various characteristic areas. Based on a report from the Ministryof Energy and Mineral Resources, Indonesia's electrification ratio has reached 98.86%. Even though Indonesia'selectrification ratio is close to 100%, it cannot be denied that there are still many remote areas that still do not haveelectricity supply. This can be caused by areas that are difficult to reach, thus hampering the construction of theelectricity network. To meet electricity needs in remote areas and with not too many population, a Diesel Power Plant(PLTD) is usually built, but this type of plant requires fuel oil which of course also requires replenishment everycertain time after the fuel runs out. To solve the above problems, a portable solar power plant (PLTS) is proposedwhich can be easily mobilized to facilitate delivery to remote areas. PLTS portable can also be used as an emergencypower source in areas where electricity facilities have been cut off due to natural disasters. To adjust the output voltageof the solar panels, a single input multi output (SIMO) converter topology is proposed. This converter consists of aflyback converter that can increase and decrease the voltage and has isolation between the input and output sides. Inaddition, this converter also has several outputs so that it can supply two loads (battery and communication equipment)at the same time. To maximize the conversion of solar energy in this system, it is also proposed to use the MPPTcontrol with the PSO method.

Published: May 2021

Skin diseases are prevalent diseases with visible symptoms and affect around 900 million of people in the world at any time. More than a half of the population is affected by it at an indefinite time. Dermatology is uncertain, unfortunate and strenuous to diagnose due to its complications. In the dermatology field, many times thorough testing is carried out to decide or detect the skin condition the patient may be facing. This may vary over time on practitioner to practitioner. This is also based on the person’s experience too. Hence, there is a need for an automated system which can help a patient to diagnose skin diseases without any of these constraints. We propose an image based automated system for recognition of skin diseases using Artificial intelligence. This system will make use of different techniques to analyze and process the image data based on various features of the images. Since skin diseases have visible symptoms, we can use images to identify those diseases. Unwanted noise is filtered and the resulting image is processed for enhancing the image. Complex techniques are used for feature extraction such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) followed by classifying the image based on the algorithm of softmax classifier. Diagnosis report is generated as an output. This system will give more accurate results and will generate them faster than the traditional method, making this application more efficient and dependable. This application can also be used as a real time teaching tool for medical students in the dermatology domain.

Authors: Karkinli Ahmet Emin , Kesikoglu Abdusselam
Published: May 2021

Depending on technological developments, the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is increasing day by day and is a valuable source of data for different applications. Generally, low-cost and lightweight non-metric digital cameras are used in UAV systems. During the data collection phase, exposure parameters such as camera shutter speed, aperture value, ISO value, and various weather and light conditions have significant effects on image quality. Image enhancement methods can be used to increase image quality in accordance with the desired purpose. In this study, image enhancement is considered as an optimization problem and Weighted Differential Evolution (WDE) Algorithm is used to solve it. The image quality is enhanced by using an objective function in which performance measures of entropy value, sum of edge density and number of edge pixel are maximized. In the proposed color image enhancement method, aerial images defined in RGB color space are transformed into HSV color space images. the brightness component (V) of HSV color space is modified for image improvement with WDE algorithm. The performance of the proposed method has been compared with other existing techniques such as histogram equalization, linear contrast stretching and evolutionary computing-based image enhancement method like Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Algorithm in terms of fitness value and image quality.
PCIV method for Indirect Bias Quantification in AI and ML Models
Authors: Garg Ashish , SL Dr. Rajesh
Published: May 2021

Data Scientists nowadays make extensive use of black-box AI models (such as Neural Networks and the various ensemble techniques) to solve various business problems. Though these models often provide higher accuracy, these models are also less explanatory at the same time and hence more prone to bias. Further, AI systems rely upon the available training data and hence remain prone to data bias as well. Many sensitive attributes such as race, religion, gender, ethnicity, etc. can form the basis of unethical bias in data or the algorithm. As the world is becoming more and more dependent on AI algorithms for making a wide range of decisions such as to determine access to services such as credit, insurance, and employment, the fairness & ethical aspects of the models are becoming increasingly important. There are many bias detection & mitigation algorithms which have evolved and many of the algorithms handle indirect attributes as well without requiring to explicitly identify them. However, these algorithms have gaps and do not quantify the indirect bias. This paper discusses the various bias detection methodologies and various tools/ libraries to detect & mitigate bias. Thereafter, this paper presents a new methodical approach to detect and quantify indirect bias in an AI/ ML models.

Sign Language is most accepted and purposeful way of communication for deaf and mute folks of the society. signing uses gestures, head/body movements and facial expressions for communication. it's a strong manner of Non-Verbal communication among humans. each country has its own developed signing. The language which is employed in Bharat is named as “Indian Sign Language (ISL)”. terribly lessresearch work has been carried out during this space as ISL has standardized recently. presently several researchers have primarily focused on gesture recognition that has been
recorded underneath static hand gesture. solely few works have been reported for recognition of dynamic hand gesture. several ways are developed to recognize alphabets and numbers of ISL. The major steps concerned in planning such a system area unit gesture acquisition, trailing and segmentation, feature extraction and gesture recognition. This paper presents a survey on varied hand gesture recognition approaches for ISL.

Many methodologies has been discovered to lower the power consumption in the devices, which is connected to the network in recent years. Many medium access control protocols have been used for low power lossy networks (LLNs).The major goal of introducing this methods is to improve the energy efficiency and to increase the fastness of the communication in the network or the data transmission. The Low power lossy networks is used in many real time scenarios nowadays. These methods use battery-powered devices, which makes transmission easier over lossy links. A particular node generally switches off radio interfaces when no traffic is sent. These devices are made to keep the radio interfaces in ON thus it makes exhausting of batteries causing Denial of sleep attacks. Here, we are going to use time division and channel hoping techniques to get a impact on jamming attacks. We will look on the impacts of such attacks by the ideas got through attacker and to which level the protection allows jamming attacks at upper layers.

Several episode expectation models for COVID-19 are being used by officials all over the world to make informed decisions and maintain necessary control steps. AI (ML)-based deciding elements have proven their worth in forecasting perioperative outcomes in order to enhance the dynamic of the predicted course of activities. For a long time, ML models have been used in a variety of application areas that needed identifiable evidence and prioritization of unfavorable factors for a danger. To cope with expecting problems, a few anticipation strategies are commonly used. This study demonstrates the ability of ML models to predict the number of future patients affected by COVID-19, which is now regarded as a potential threat to humanity. In particular, four standard evaluating models, such as Linear Regression, Support Vector Machine, LASSO, Exponential Smoothing, and Decision Tree, were used in this investigation to hypothesis the compromising variables of COVID-19. Any one of the models makes three types of predictions, for example, the number of recently Positive cases after and before preliminary vexing, the amount of passing's after and before preliminary lockdown, and the number of recuperations after and before lockdown. The outcomes demonstrate with parameters like R2 Score, Adjust R2 score, MSE, MAE and RMSE on Indian datasets.
Tavuk Embriyosu Koryoallantoik Membranında Görülen Anjiyogenez Sürecinde C-Tipi Natriüretik Peptid-3 ve Natriüretik Peptid Reseptör-B mRNA İfadelerinin Analizi: Tanımlayıcı Bir Çalışma

Tavuk koryoallantoik membran (CAM) modeli, anjiyogenez çalışmalarında gelişimsel süreçleri takip etmek için yaygın olarak kullanılan bir modeldir. Bu çalışmada, CAM kullanılarak, embriyonik gelişimin 7. ve 20. günleri (E7 ve E20) arasında görülen anjiyogenez süreci ışık ve transmisyon elektron mikroskop analizleri ile takip edilmiştir. Ayrıca, aynı günlerde alınan CAM örnekleri kullanılarak, anjiyogenez meka-nizmalarında görevli [Vasküler Endotelyal Büyüme Faktörü (VEGF)-A ve Fibroblast Büyüme Faktörü (FGF)-2] ve reseptörlerinin [Vasküler Endotelyal Büyüme Faktörü Reseptörü (VEGFR)-2 ve Fibroblast Büyüme Faktörü (FGFR)-2] yanı sıra, insan C-tipi natriüretik peptid (CNP) homoloğu olan tavuk CNP-3 ve reseptörü natriüretik peptid reseptörü (NPR)-B'nin mRNA ifade düzeylerinin zamana bağımlı değişimi analiz edilmiştir. Işık mikroskobu ve elektron mikroskobu analizleri, endotel tüp benzeri vasküler yapıları yoğun olarak E7-E8 günlerinde ve koryonik mezenşim içinde bulunduğunu göstermiştir. E9-E20 günler sürecinde ise mezenşim içinde yer alan vasküler yapıların progresif gelişimi, stabilizasyonu ve kompleks dallanması gözlenmiştir. Bu vasküler gelişim sürecinde, VEGF-A ve FGF-2 mRNA ifadesi, CAM gelişiminin erken aşamalarında E7 ile E9 arasında ve E8'de pik yapacak şekilde gözlenmiştir. Bu moleküller, CAM gelişiminin geç döne-minde, E16 civarında ikinci bir pik göstermiştir. CNP-3 mRNA ifadesi E16 ile E20 arasında VEGF-A ve FGF-2 mRNA ifadeleri ile eş zamanlı olarak tespit edilmiştir. VEGFR-2 mRNA ifadesi E7-E12 arasında gözlenirken, FGFR-2 mRNA ifadesi ilk pikini E7-E9 arasında ve ikinci pikini E16-20 arasında göstermiştir. NPR-B mRNA ifadesi ise en yüksek seviyesi E16’da olmak üzere E7-E20 arasında gözlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak elde edilen veriler, CNP-3'ün özellikle CAM gelişiminin geç döneminde (E16-E20 günleri sürecinde), NPR-B reseptörü aracı-lığıyla, ileri vasküler organizasyonda rol oynayabileceğini ortaya koymuştur.
Corporate Tax Planning: Strategies for Troubled Times, Again
Authors: Steeves Christopher J. , Walker Kathryn
Published: May 2021

This article addresses income tax issues associated with the various strategies that corporations can employ in response to economic difficulties, focusing on debt-restructuring techniques and tax consequences for debtors. First, the article discusses the tax effects of the most fundamental debt-restructuring issues—interest deductibility and the deductibility of planning costs. Second, considering the out-of-court approaches to debt restructuring, the article examines the tax consequences that may arise where a debtor company and its creditors are able to agree on accommodations that will provide some financial relief for the debtor. Third, the article comments on the potential for the debt-parking rules to apply in the context of the assignment of debt by a creditor. Fourth, the article examines the tax implications of a debt-for-equity exchange, pursuant to which an outstanding debt is exchanged for shares in the debtor corporation. Fifth, the article presents the key tax issues that emerge where a debtor corporation sells assets as a way to mitigate debt pressure. Finally, the article considers tax questions relevant to the statutory (in-court) debt-restructuring options offered by corporate-law statutes, such as the Canada Business Corporations Act, and insolvency statutes, such as the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act.
International Tax Planning: Subsection 15(2) and Partnerships in the Foreign Affiliate Context: Interpretive Arguments in the Absence of Legislative Amendments
Authors: Bunn David , Dumalski Mark
Published: May 2021

The purpose of subsection 15(2) is to include in a shareholder's income amounts received from a corporation, either by the shareholder directly or by certain non-arm's-length persons and partnerships, in the guise of loans or other indebtedness. Specific exceptions exist for amounts owing by certain foreign affiliates, as well as for indebtedness between non-resident persons. Unfortunately, the broad language used in the relevant provisions can lead to anomalous results if those provisions are read and applied literally, without appropriate consideration being given to context and purpose. In particular, the manner in which partnerships have been incorporated into the shareholder loan rule can bring into question the potential application of subsection 15(2) in the foreign affiliate context. This article explores three examples of situations involving partnerships and foreign affiliates where a literal interpretation of the shareholder loan rule could lead to anomalous results. The article then outlines why it is reasonable to conclude, when considering the text, context, and purpose of subsection 15(2) and its related provisions, along with their legislative history, that the shareholder loan rule does not apply in the circumstances described in the examples.

Published: May 2021

COVID-19 in Indonesia was first discovered in Depok, West Java. Two Depok Residents were declared positive COVID-19 on March 2, 2020. Since the announcement of the first case. Depok is now a city in West Java Province with the most COVID-19 positive cases. To suppress the spread of COVID-19, the Depok city government imposed large-scale social restrictions (PSBB) on April 15, 2020. The public’s impact is strongly felt due to the enactment of PSBB in terms of the economy. Many people have to lose their jobs. Public awareness in maintaining cleanliness and health is also still lacking due to the public’s inability to buy masks and hand soap whose prices soar. The Jakarta State Polytechnic Civil Engineering Department’s Road and Bridge Design Engineering Program (TPJJ) is motivated to participate in assisting communities affected by COVID-19 by holding community service activities. Sukmajaya sub-district is the area in Depok that is most infected with COVID-19. Based on this, TPJJ Study Program will assist in providing public sinks, the distribution of masks, hand soap, and food at RT 009 RW 016 Bakti Jaya subdistrict Sukmajaya Sub-District, Depok. It is hoped that this activity can reduce the spread of COVID-19 and can ease the burden on people who are experiencing economic hardship.
