Authors: Bhattarai Dilaram
Published: April 2019

Nowadays mathematical method are widely applied in planning of natural economy, organization of industry control, business decision, transportation, engineering, telecommunications, elaboration of military operations etc. From the general point of view, the problems of control and planning are usually reduced to a choice of a certain system of numerical parameters or a function ensuring the most effective achievement of the preplanned aim (optimum plan) with the limited possible resources taken into account. To estimate the effectiveness of a plan, introduce the plan quantity index expressed in term of the plan characteristics and attaining the extremism value for an optimal plan. For the large number of practically interesting problems the objective function is expressed linearly in term of plan characteristics, the permissible values of the parameters also obeying linear equalities or inequalities.

Authors: Shrestha Bijaya
Published: April 2019

Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is a front-end device of a radio frequency (RF) receiver used to increase the amplitude of an RF signal without much additional noise, thereby increasing the noise figure of the system. This paper presents design, simulation, and prototype of an LNA operating at 1.5 GHz for the bandwidth of 100 MHz. The circuit was simulated using Advanced Design System (ADS). The components used are Surface Mount Devices (SMDs); with transistor "Infineon BFP420" as a major component. Other components are resistors, capacitors, and inductors; inductors being superseded by microstrip lines. The circuit was fabricated on FR4 board. The measurements of several parameters of LNA were made using Vector Network Analyzer (VNA), Noise Figure Meter; and Spectrum Analyzer. The LNA has minimum gain of 15.4 dB and maximum noise figure of 1.33 dB. It is unconditionally stable from 50 MHz to 10 GHz. DC supply is 5V and the current consumption is 10 mA. This LNA offers Output-Third­Order-Intercept-Point (OJP3) of about 1 4 dBm.

The article is devoted to the problem of a conflict in the multicultural social and educational environment of a university of the Russian Federation. Based on existing foreign and domestic concepts for the study of a social conflict as a concept and the results of numerous studies, the authors proposed a definition of the concept of “a social conflict in a multicultural social and educational environment of the university”, based on its genesis. The study made it possible to look at a social conflict as a phenomenon that upsets the social equilibrium in a higher education institution and interpret it as a kind of a social interaction, acting as a value-oriented contradiction between the subjects of the educational process, where the multicultural socio-educational environment serves as a “fabric” woven from countless interactions subjects. Relying on the principles of G. Simmel's theory, which allows analyzing a social conflict in a higher educational institution from the standpoint of a social interaction of subjects, the article highlighted the dyadic relationship of conflict manifestations in terms of: “rector's office — university team”, “teacher — student”, “teacher — teacher”, “student — student”, “student — educational support staff”. The essence, characteristics and the structure of social conflicts inherent in higher educational institutions are revealed. The causes of the emergence, patterns of the behavior of subjects in conflict situations and strategies of the behavior in conflict-subject-subject relations are highlighted. The proposed mechanisms for the regulation of social conflicts in the university, implying empathy, identification, reflection, mediation. Based on the available scientific and methodological research in the field of multiculturalism, the authors clarified the concept of “multicultural social and educational environment of the university” in relation to the study and defined organizational and pedagogical conditions for the implementation of a conflict prevention in high school.

Authors: Büschgens D. , Lenz W. , Pfeifer H. , Strämke M.
Published: April 2019

Batch planning is one integral part of all industrial heat treatment processes. Its main goal is the maximization of the number of components in the batch considering the components specifications. During batch planning the temperature distribution in the batch needs to be taken into account at any point and therefore plays the decisive role. So far, the calculation of the load is based on experience. This can lead to loss of quality or reduced productivity.

As a result, an interactive batch planning system for plasma nitriding furnaces is being developed in a current research and development project. The planning system contains a radiation model, which calculates the temperature distribution in the batch, and a diffusion model, which allows to predict the nitriding results based on the calculated temperatures. Due to computation time requirements a simplification of the physical model, especially the radiation model, needs to be realized. The permissible simplifications are determined in a study on a complete numerical radiation model. This paper shows the concept of the batch planning system and the development of the complete numerical radiation model.

Published: April 2019

In order to analyze and justify the choice of the recommended modes ofinteraction of people in organizational entities, the article covers the main possibilities ofincreasing the effectiveness of human interaction on the basis of interpreting a typicalmanagement pair in the form of two elementary components that can interact in the "subjectobject","subject-subject”, “object-subject” and “object-object”, taking into account the fact thateach component is characterized by a certain level of subjectivity. At the same time, the authorstake into account the fact that during the life of a person and his life cycle in organizationalformation the level of subjectivity of any person varies within the boundary of the linearcontinuum object - the subject, and its subjectity in organizational formation by no means other ,as the current state of the ratio of the number of formal and informal influences of the individualas a subject to other members of the organization to the number of the same effects on it as anobject from other members of the organization. Due to the fact that the life cycles of theelementary components are characterized by the presence of each of them periods of increase insubjectivity with the achievement of each peak value and the subsequent gradual loss afterrelease or retirement, it is demonstrated that the joint and equally effective activity of thecomponents is possible only provided that they maintain the subject-subject mode of interaction,which corresponds to the dialogue of the two parties, rather than management of or managementby one side of the other. Using the superposition of graph-analytic dependencies of Dunig-Kruger and changes in subjectivity throughout life, it is proved that the basic condition for theimplementation of such a managerial dialogue is the awareness of both components of themanagerial pair of the fact that the concept of the subject loses meaning without the existence ofthe object, and therefore maintaining the process of dialogue-cooperation is possible only underthe condition of equality and freedom of the participants and the inter-orientation of each of thepartners as the subject, the tool for establishing partnerships is management on the basis of thedialogue communication process with the mutual recognition of each of the participants in theirfreedom, equality and value - subjectivity. It has been established that the priority factorsdetermining the results of the operation of a typical management pair are not the structure andthe relationship between its constituent elements, but the intellectual, moral and psychologicalcharacteristics of these elements and the awareness of the latter as partners that jointly solve theproblem with the achievement of mutually established and harmonized goals.

PECULIARITIES OF METABOLISM OF FREE PLASMA AMINO ACIDS IN THE BLOOD OF RATS UNDER THE EXPOSURE TO SODIUM FLUORIDE
Authors: Kolesnyk I. L.
Published: April 2019

To assess and substantiate the structural and metabolic mechanisms underlying the formation of intoxication, we studied the state of the pool of free plasma amino acids under the influence of sodium fluoride in the context of chronic fluoride intoxication in white rats of the Wistar population, which were orally administered sodium fluoride for 1.5 months at a dose of 20 mg / kg of body mass. Evaluation of the state of protein metabolism was conducted according to the spectrum of free plasma amino acids by ion exchange chromatography on ionites. Our studies have shown a decrease in plasma concentrations of free amino acids such as alanine, a-aminobutyric acid, threonine, serine, proline, valine, lysine, and an increase in taurine, aspartic, glutamic acid, glycine, and cysteine. The dynamics of cystine, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, cystianine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, ornithine, histidine, arginine, ammonia were not disrupted as compared with the control observation group. The decrease in the protein synthesizing function and the prevalence of catabolic processes over anabolic processes was also confirmed by the inhibition of the incorporation processes of 3H-thymidine, 3H-uridine and 14C-leucine in hepatocytes and splenocytes, which once again indicates a slowdown of synthetic processes.

Chest freezers in their operations experience transient loads that fluctuate from time to time with environmental conditions. To satisfy the maximum cooling demand, chest freezers are normally oversized. This can cause inefficient operation and less reliable due to frequent on-off cycling. Therefore, a reliable and efficient energy chest freezer is essential to be developed. This study examined technology with lower on-off cycles and potential to be integrated with renewable energy sources. The technology approach was a chest freezer technology incorporated vegetable oil phase change materials (bio-PCM). The results showed that integration of bio-PCM could significantly reduce on-off cycle of the compressor and maintain the product temperature below -15 degree C. Energy consumption of the investigated freezer with bio-PCM consumed nearly the same energy compared to chest freezer without bio-PCM. However, the use of bio-PCM in the chest freezer makes it be highly potential to be integrated with solar energy sources.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common dementia and a progressive neurodegenerative disorder aggravated by chronic hypoperfusion (HP). Since numerous evidence suggests that inflammation is related with AD pathology, we investigated the expression change of two anti-inflammatory markers, inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4 (ITIH4) and alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein (AHSG), in a novel AD model (APP23) with HP at 12 month of age. As compared with wild type (WT, n = 10), immunohistochemical analysis showed a higher ITIH4 and a lower AHSG expressions in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and thalamus of the APP23 + HP group ( n = 12) than the simple APP23 ( n = 10) group (* p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 versus WT; # p < 0.05 and # # p < 0.01 versus APP23). The present study provides an upregulation of anti-inflammatory ITIH4 and a downregulation of pro-inflammatory TNF α-dependent AHSG in a novel AD plus HP mice model.

Published: April 2019

Background:

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A (CMT1A) is caused by a uniform 1.5–Mb duplication on chromosome 17p, which includes the PMP22 gene. Patients often present the classic neuropathy phenotype, but also with high clinical variability.

Objective:

We aimed to identify genetic variants that are potentially associated with specific clinical outcomes in CMT1A.

Methods:

We genotyped over 600,000 genomic markers using DNA samples from 971 CMT1A patients and performed a case-only genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify potential genetic association in a subset of 644 individuals of European ancestry. A total of 14 clinical outcomes were analyzed in this study.

Results:

The analyses yielded suggestive association signals in four clinical outcomes: difficulty with eating utensils (lead SNP rs4713376, chr6 : 30773314, P = 9.91×10–7, odds ratio = 3.288), hearing loss (lead SNP rs7720606, chr5 : 126551732, P = 2.08×10–7, odds ratio = 3.439), decreased ability to feel (lead SNP rs17629990, chr4 : 171224046, P = 1.63×10–7, odds ratio = 0.336), and CMT neuropathy score (lead SNP rs12137595, chr1 : 4094068, P = 1.14×10–7, beta = 3.014).

Conclusions:

While the results require validation in future genetic and functional studies, the detected association signals may point to novel genetic modifiers in CMT1A.

Summary. Aim: To examine frequencies and spectrum of genomic alterations in Ukrainian patients diagnosed with primary myelofibrosis (PMF). Materials and Methods: We enrolled 30 Ukrainian patients diagnosed with PMF who were previously tested for usual mutations in mye­loproliferative neoplasms driver genes (JAK2, MPL and CALR). Genomic DNA samples were obtained from peripheral blood leukocytes of these patients. Copy number alterations and copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity (cnLOH) were assessed using a high-density CytoScan HD microarray platform. Statistical significance was evaluated by the Fisher exact test. Results: We identified frequent genomic alterations, but no significant difference in the rates of copy-number loss, copy-number gain, cnLOH, or multiple genomic alterations were found in the groups of PMF patients that were positive for one of the usual mutations in driver genes or negative for such mutations (33.3% and 55.6%, p = 0.4181, 19.0% and 11.1%, p = 1.0000, 61.9% and 44.4%, p = 0.4434, 33.3% and 55.6%, p = 0.4181, respectively). The most frequent alterations were cnLOH at 1p36-1p22, 9p24.3-9p13.3 and 11q12.3-11q25; copy number loss at 7q21-7q36.3 and 13q12.3-13q14.3. Copy number alterations and cnLOH commonly affected the EZH2, LAMB4, CBL, CUX1, ATM, RB1 and TP53 genes, in addition to JAK2, MPL and CALR. Conclusion: We demonstrated the spectrum of genomic alterations in the groups of the Ukrainian PMF patients with or without the usual mutations in the specific driver genes. We identified several potential genes, which may be involved in the myeloproliferative neoplasms development and their phenotype modification (EZH2, LAMB4, CBL, CUX1, ATM, RB1 and TP53).

Summary. Upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma is a rare tumor. Data about its correct management are controversial. Investigational technology development made it possible to diagnose asymptomatic small tumors, which can be successfully managed endoscopically. We report the case of bilateral urothelial cancer and hydronephrosis in patient aged 38. After management of acute post-renal kidney insufficiency, the neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy was used followed by the kidney-sparing surgery split in two interventions on both sides. The patient does not have any relapse or further progression after one year of initial treatment with good performance status and high life quality level. We believe that the kidney preserving strategy can be considered as an option even in high-risk patients. The renal function in such cases is a crucial parameter affecting the outcome.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play a pivotal role in Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs), particularly for operations such as observing the location and monitoring it. To enhance the cyber security in WSN-enabled CPSs, various researchers have proposed a various category of algorithms, inspired by biological phenomena. These algorithm works on the basis of mobility of head node (Mobile Anchor Node). However, these WSNs mobile anchor node are subject to various types of optimization like Grey wolf optimizer (GWO) and Whale optimization Algorithm (WOA). Complexity is one of the limitation of these algorithm and also it is vulnerable to damage, theft, or destruction of sensitive data, in addition to that interference in services also occur in CPSs. To prevent these cyber-attack, we proposed generic bio-inspired model ie., enhanced Grey wolf optimizer path planning called Swarm Intelligence for WSN Cyber security that addresses drawbacks of prior bio-inspired approaches. In this model WSN enabled Cyber Physical Systems use ID-Based Aggregate Signature Scheme to detect the cyber-attack and keep data integrity

Published: April 2019

Nowadays with the rapid growth of the smart city and the internet of things applications are difficult to connect the data access center, to meet service requirements with low latency and high quality while sending and receiving data access requests. At the same time, lower security performance occurred. In temperature and humidity sensor applications we approach a cryptography technique to protect data. It is an ASCII values-based technique which uses some numerical calculation to perform encryption and decryption. Then the use of the shortest path algorithm we find an entire possible path using current node detail and the destination node is sent by the source node to the neighbourhood nodes. Neighbourhood node receives the detail and checks the destination node. In case, the neighbourhood node is not the destination, it appends its detail along with the received details and sends to its neighbourhood nodes and the process continues till reaching the destination. By calculating the link delay between the two nodes. We can find the delay time taken from source to destination. At last we display the entire possible shortest paths and secure data. It is useful when network congestion occurs. In this paper, we also overcome this problem.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the structure stability of revetment against coastal erosion.Stability analysis takes into account the stability of the rolling, sliding, and soil bearing capacity decrease. The dimension and design ofrevetment is secure from overturning (SF = 7.669 > 2); sliding (SF = 4.082>1,5) and bearing capacity support (17.498>3). From this analysis concluded that in the revetment structure design safe and can be applied in the study area. Analysis of the stability of the revetment structure is expected to reduce the level of damage to the building structure coast and surrounding buildings.

Sediment management in The Upstream Ciliwung Watershed is a key to the maximum storage function achievement of The Proposed Ciawi Reservoir. The sediment that is potentially decrease the reservoir storage can be detained before it enters the reservoir by the mini sabodam construction. The small storage capacity of the mini sabodam makes the structure easy to be build. Moreover, mini sabodam does not extremely change river beds profile so that the river biota can still migrate from the downstream to upstream. This research was focused on the proposed location of the mini sabodam mapping in The Upstream Ciliwung Watershed based on sediment balance analysis in the watershed. The sediment balance analysis in the watershed was simulated by Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) numeric model, which were based on the slope condition, the soil physical characteristics, and the land cover. The Upstream Ciliwung area was classified into several HRU (Hydrological Response Unit). Each of them represents the area response to any rain event. After passing through the validation process, the model was used for measuring the sedimentation rate at the projected mini sabodam location. This research resulted technical frameworks related to the arrangement, the storage capacity, and the sediment dredging scenarios of the mini sabodam that must be conducted by communities and the river authority. The final results of this research are technical references toward the Proposed Ciawi Reservoir sedimentation control masterplan improvement.

Information on water availability is vital in water resources management. Unfortunately, information on the condition of hydrological data, either river flow data, or rainfall data is very limited temporally and spatially. With the availability of satellite technology, rainfall in the tropics can be monitored and recorded for further analysis. This paper discusses the calculation of surface water availability based on rainfall data from TRMM satellite, and then Wflow, a distributed rainfall-runoff model generates monthly time runoff data from 2003 to 2015 for all river basin areas in Indonesia. It is concluded that the average surface water availability in Indonesia is 88.3 thousand m3/s or equivalent to 2.78 trillion m3/ year. This figure is lower than the study of Water Resources Research Center 2010 based on discharge at the post estimated water that produces 3.9 trillion m3/year, but very close to the study of Aquastat FAO of 2.79 trillion m3 / year. The main benefit of this satellite-based calculation is that at any location in Indonesia, potential surface water can be obtained by multiplying the area of the catchment and the runoff height.

Pembukaan lahan gambut yang didahului dengan pembuatan saluran?saluran (drainase) akan menyebabkan turunnya muka air tanah, hal ini akan memacu laju dekomposisi bahan organik dan padaakhirnya gambut menjadi rentan terbakar dan teremisi. Oleh karena itu pengetahuan laju emisi carbon sangat penting untuk perencanaan sistem drainase, dalam rangka memelihara kelestarian gambut. Metode ilmiah yang digunakan meliputi: perhitungan sebaran ketebalan/kedalaman gambut, volume gambut kering, volume gambut teroksidasi, berat C gambut kering dan CO2 equivalent. Laju emisi karbon (C) dihitung berdasarkan emisi karbon (C) dan waktu subsiden. Selanjutnya laju emisi C (Mton CO2/tahun) dihitung berdasarkan 4 (empat) buah konsep pemodelan/skenario, yaitu: kondisi aktual/eksisting, perkebunan, bendung (canal blocking), bendung (canal blocking) dan dengan penghutanan kembali. Kegiatan ini dilakukan di Sei Ahas, Kapuas, Kalimantan Tengah dan Sungai Buluh, Tanjung Jabung Timur, Jambi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa perubahan tata guna lahan akan sangat berpengaruh terhadap perubahan elevasi muka air tanah gambut yang turut serta memacu peningkatan emisi C ke atmosfer.

Studi Pemodelan Numerik Oseanografi untuk Mendukung Perencanaan Manajemen Wilayah Pesisir Terpadu di Taman Nasional Komodo
Authors: Rizki Titri Yan
Published: April 2019

Taman Nasional Komodo (TNK), sebuah situs pariwisata internasional, telah menghasilkan rencana induk pengelolaan pesisir terpadu (KNP, 2000). Untuk meminimalkan kesenjangan dengan daerah penyangga, diperlukan suatu rencana pengelolaan pesisir terpadu untuk daerah sekitar TNK, seperti Kabupaten Bima dan Kabupaten Manggarai Barat yang memiliki potensi perikanan, keanekaragaman hayati, energi arus laut, dan juga pariwisata. Kurangnya penelitian di lokasi ini menyebabkan kurangnya pemahaman kondisi oseanografi di sekitar area TNK. Pemodelan numerik oseanografi telah disimulasikan dalam dua dimensi untuk parameter hidrodinamika seperti arus laut dan elevasi permukaan laut dengan mempertimbangkan pasang surut dan kondisi angin. Hasil simulasi ini menunjukkan bahwa ada beberapa lokasi di sekitar TNK yang berpotensi menghasilkan energi arus laut dengan kecepatan mencapai 3,5 m / s di musim timur dan 3,7 m / s di musim barat. Selain itu, distribusi larva ikan telah disimulasikan sesuai dengan potensi perikanan di daerah, seperti kerapu, kakap, bawal, dan ekor kuning (Kabupaten Manggarai Barat, 2007). Pemodelan tersebut diharapkan dapat membantu pemerintah daerah dalam menentukan kebijakan untuk mendukung rencana pengelolaan pesisir terpadu dengan memberikan informasi kondisi hidrodinamika musiman untuk pemetaan potensi energi arus laut, gerakan ikan dan larva ikan untuk peningkatan perikanan, dan zonasi untuk konservasi keanekaragaman hayati.
