Authors:   Murmansk Marine Biological Institute RAS, Bulavina A.S.
Published: February 2021

The connection of the Ob river flow variability with meteorological parameters in different parts of its catchment area is considered. Areas of the prevailing influence of the air temperature and different types of precipitation on Ob runoff fluctuations were identified. The long-term series of average annual water discharge in the Salekhard hydrometric station for the period 1936–2015 is reconstructed. The reconstructed series reproduces the measured interannual fluctuations and long-term trends of the average annual water discharge and found it to be good.
Research on the ability of grey seals to differentiate light sources with different wavelengths.
Authors:   Murmansk Marine Biological Institute RAS, Pakhomov M.V.
Published: February 2021

The article investigated the ability of gray seals to develop a differentiating conditioned reflex to light sources with different wavelengths corresponding to red, yellow, green, cyan and blue colors. According to the obtained data, light sources with different wavelengths can serve as an irritant for the gray seal, which produces a conditional differentiation reflex. The development of a differentiating conditioned reflex to the light source occurs in the studied gray seals much faster than on color painted objects. The results of the experiment showed the presence of protanopia in the studied gray seals.
Lightning protection of wind turbines.
Authors:   Northern Energetics Research Centre, Belova Liubov A.
Published: February 2021

Damage from a lightning strike is the cause of 25% of accidents and breakdowns of wind turbines. To reduce wind turbine damage from lightning and to ensure overall safety around wind turbines, it is important to improve the performance of wind turbines associated with lightning protection and minimize the likelihood of damage to them. The experience of developing countries, actively replenishing the base of windturbines, has led to progress in technologies for the application of countermeasures in the field of wind energy. This article presents the latest trends in technology for reliable operation of wind turbines in thunderstorms.

The paper considers the features of using criteria models in security management of intersystem interactions of critical infrastructures. Criteria-based modeling and evaluation of criteria-based risks prevent cognitive distortions, biases and errors in the assessment of the state of security and the presence of possible vulnerabilities in critical infrastructures of urbanized areas. Within the framework of the presented approach, the combined use of apparatus of the set theory and the developed special apparatus of criteria-based modeling is proposed. Examples of solving practical problems of security control with the use of constantly developing and improving, in 102the course of research, software systems for automating the application of criteria modeling for security management in urban areas are given.

Technologies Supporting Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Application Development
Authors: Chen Yinong , Luca Gennaro De
Published: February 2021

Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics have gone through three generations of development, from Turing test, logic theory machine, to expert system and self-driving car. In the third-generation today, AI and robotics have collaboratively been used in many areas in our society, including industry, business, manufacture, research, and education. There are many challenging problems in developing AI and robotics applications. We launch this new Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Technology to facilitate the exchange of the latest research and practice in AI and technologies. In this inaugural issue, we first introduce a few key technologies and platforms supporting the third-generation AI and robotics application development based on stacks of technologies and platforms. We present examples of such development environments created by both industry and academia. We also selected eight papers in the related areas to celebrate the foundation of this journal.
Reading Black Bloc Aesthetically
Authors: Spies Claryn
Published: February 2021

While black bloc has been persistently misunderstood and maligned by the mainstream media and leftist intellectuals alike, rereading this tactic as an aesthetic practice opens new and more interesting methods of appraisal. This paper considers three ways of reading black bloc: first, how participation in a black bloc can be an ontologically transformative experience for its participants; second, how property destruction associated with black blocs can have transformative effects on its spectators; and third, how black bloc is particularly well-suited to what Jacques Rancière calls the redistribution of the sensible. These accounts provide alternative lenses through which black bloc can be brought into focus, and suggest that the bloc’s lack of concrete demands or fixed membership, its fleeting temporality, and its refusal to either identify itself with a particular party or class, or to engage with “politics as usual”—the very things that frustrate its critics—can be read as its greatest strengths. In entertaining a multiplicity of ways of seeing black blocs, we may loosen ourselves from the prevailing criticisms that eschew nontraditional forms of demonstrations, and shift the horizon of what we find to be politically possible.

Nehemiah Fundraising Strategy: A Model for the Ghanaian Church
Authors: Shaibu Iddrissu A.
Published: February 2021

Even though fundraising has been part of the religious practices of the Church since its inception, its development over the centuries has led to the adoption of several fundraising strategies, which has led to overdependence on the congregation as the main source of funding. This situation has created fatigue in giving among a section of the congregation and its attendant complaints. Consequently, calls have been made for the Church in Ghana to wean itself from the traditional sources of generating funds and look for alternative sources of funding its activities. It is against this backdrop that this paper provides an alternative mean that the Church can use to wean itself from the traditional system of generating funds and thus be receptive to a more sustainable system of funds generation, which is the Nehemiah fundraising model. This research was done through primary and secondary sources and it became known that the adoption of Nehemiah’s fundraising model must be guided by certain principles. The application of Nehemiah’s model would aid the Church not only generate funds to meet its ever-increasing demands, but it would also reduce, to some extent, the Church’s dependence syndrome on the traditional system.

MODELLING THE WAYS TO INCREASE THE CREATIVITY OF PSYCHOLOGY STUDENTS AS A BASIC FACTOR IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Kryshtanovych Myroslav , Bilyk Valentyna , Hanushchyn Solomiia , Sheremet Inesa , Vasylenko Kateryna
Published: February 2021

One of the important tasks of the modern system of psychology in higher educational institutions is not only the development of student’s professional potential but also the comprehensive development of their personality. The purpose of the article is to systematize the process of increasing the creativity of psychology students with the help of mechanisms and elements of the functional model of IDEF0. The novelty of this study lies in the fact that in the field of education, in particular, increasing such a subjective indicator as creative abilities, there has not yet been a methodology that allows forming an understandable and simple, but at the same time flexible system of actions. The reason for choosing this model was that it is the most visual and easy to understand for representatives of higher educational institutions. Also, this model is universal in terms of adding separate sublevels and subtasks, if for a particular educational institution it turns out to be incomplete or insufficiently detailed. Thus, it is the IDEF0 model that can reveal to the greatest extent such a subjective process as an increase in creativity among psychology students. The steps for increasing the creativity of psychology students are presented, which are the result of scrupulous analysis and many years of research by the authors in this area. The scientific contribution of this article can be considered the formation of a mechanism for increasing the creativity of psychology students, not in the context of creating a clear methodology, but in the context of forming a universal algorithm with poly-levels for detailing the goal.
A Blueprint for the Milky Way’s Stellar Populations. II. Improved Isochrone Calibration in the SDSS and Pan-STARRS Photometric Systems
Authors: An Deokkeun , Beers Timothy C.
Published: February 2021

We improve the identification and isolation of individual stellar populations in the Galactic halo based on an updated set of empirically calibrated stellar isochrones in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Pan-STARRS 1 photometric systems. Along the Galactic prime meridian (l = 0° and 180°), where proper motions and parallaxes from Gaia DR2 can be used to compute rotational velocities of stars in the rest frame of the Milky Way, we use the observed double color–magnitude sequences of stars having large transverse motions, which are mostly attributed to groups of stars in the metal-poor halo and the thick disk with halo-like kinematics, respectively. The Gaia sequences directly constrain color–magnitude relations of model colors, and help to improve our previous calibration using Galactic star clusters. Based on these updated sets of stellar isochrones, we confirm earlier results on the presence of distinct groups of stars in the metallicity versus rotational-velocity plane, and find that the distribution of the most metal-poor ([Fe/H] < −2) stars in our sample can be modeled using two separate groups on prograde and retrograde orbits, respectively. At 4–6 kpc from the Galactic plane, we find approximately equal proportions of the Splashed Disk, and the metal-rich (〈[Fe/H]〉 ∼ −1.6) and metal-poor (〈[Fe/H]〉 ∼ −2.5) halos on prograde orbits. The Gaia–Sausage–Enceladus, the metal-weak thick disk, and the retrograde halo structure(s) (〈[Fe/H]〉 ∼ −2.2) constitute approximately 10% of the rest of the stellar populations at these distances.
StarcNet: Machine Learning for Star Cluster Identification*
Authors: Pérez Gustavo , Messa Matteo , Calzetti Daniela , Maji Subhransu , Jung Dooseok E. , Adamo Angela , Sirressi Mattia
Published: February 2021

We present a machine learning (ML) pipeline to identify star clusters in the multicolor images of nearby galaxies, from observations obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope as part of the Treasury Project LEGUS (Legacy ExtraGalactic Ultraviolet Survey). StarcNet (STAR Cluster classification NETwork) is a multiscale convolutional neural network (CNN) that achieves an accuracy of 68.6% (four classes)/86.0% (two classes: cluster/noncluster) for star cluster classification in the images of the LEGUS galaxies, nearly matching human expert performance. We test the performance of StarcNet by applying a pre-trained CNN model to galaxies not included in the training set, finding accuracies similar to the reference one. We test the effect of StarcNet predictions on the inferred cluster properties by comparing multicolor luminosity functions and mass–age plots from catalogs produced by StarcNet and by human labeling; distributions in luminosity, color, and physical characteristics of star clusters are similar for the human and ML classified samples. There are two advantages to the ML approach: (1) reproducibility of the classifications: the ML algorithm’s biases are fixed and can be measured for subsequent analysis; and (2) speed of classification: the algorithm requires minutes for tasks that humans require weeks to months to perform. By achieving comparable accuracy to human classifiers, StarcNet will enable extending classifications to a larger number of candidate samples than currently available, thus increasing significantly the statistics for cluster studies.
Magnetospheres of Terrestrial Exoplanets and Exomoons: Implications for Habitability and Detection
Authors: Green James , Boardsen Scott , Dong Chuanfei
Published: February 2021

Characterizing habitable exoplanets and/or their moons is of paramount importance. Here we show the results of our magnetic field topological modeling, which demonstrate that terrestrial exoplanet–exomoon coupled magnetospheres work together to protect the early atmospheres of both the exoplanet and the exomoon. When exomoon magnetospheres are within the exoplanet's magnetospheric cavity, the exomoon magnetosphere acts like a protective magnetic bubble providing an additional magnetopause confronting the stellar winds when the moon is on the dayside. In addition, magnetic reconnection would create a critical pathway for the atmosphere exchange between the early exoplanet and exomoon. When the exomoon's magnetosphere is outside of the exoplanet's magnetosphere it then becomes the first line of defense against strong stellar winds, reducing the exoplanet's atmospheric loss to space. A brief discussion is given on how this type of exomoon would modify radio emissions from magnetized exoplanets.

A new species of the genus Opisa Boeck, 1876 (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Opisidae) and a new record for Opisa takafuminakanoi from the East Sea, South Korea
Authors: Heo Jun-Haeng , Kim Young-Hyo
Published: February 2021

Two species of the opisid genus Opisa have been collected from the East Sea of South Korea, one of them described as Opisa parvimanasp. nov.. The new species, O. parvimanasp. nov. is similar to O. odontochela; however, it can be clearly distinguished from this species because it has 12 blunt robust setae in the palm of gnathopod 1. The other collected species, Opisa takafuminakanoi Narahara-Nakano, Kakui & Tomikawa, 2016 is previously known from Japanese waters (southeast of Akkeshi Bay, Hokkaido). Both species are illustrated and compared to related species. A key to Opisa species is also provided.
Regulation of HIF-1α and p53 in stress responses in the subterranean rodents Lasiopodomys mandarinus and Lasiopodomys brandtii (Rodentia: Cricetidae)

Published: February 2021

The response mechanism and interaction patterns of HIF-1α and p53 in animals in an hypoxic environment are crucial for their hypoxic tolerance and adaptation. Many studies have shown that underground rodents have better hypoxic adaptation characteristics. However, the mechanism by which HIF-1α and p53 in underground rodents respond to hypoxic environments compared with in ground rodents remains unclear. Further, whether a synergy between HIF-1α and p53 enables animals tolerate extremely hypoxic environments is unclear. We studied HIF-1α and p53 expression in the brain tissue and cell apoptosis in the hippocampal CA1 region during 6 hours of acute hypoxia (5% oxygen) in Lasiopodomys mandarinus (Milne-Edwards, 1871) and Lasiopodomys brandtii (Radde, 1861), two closely related small rodents with different life characteristics (underground and aboveground, respectively), using a comparative biology method to determine the mechanisms underlying their adaptation to this environment. Our results indicate that HIF-1α and p53 expression is more rapid in L. mandarinus than in L. brandtii under acute hypoxic environments, resulting in a significant synergistic effect in L. mandarinus. Correlation analysis revealed that HIF-1α expression and the apoptotic index of the hippocampal CA1 regions of the brain tissues of L. mandarinus and L. brandtii, both under hypoxia, were significantly negatively and positively correlated, respectively. Long-term existence in underground burrow systems could enable better adaptation to hypoxia in L. mandarinus than in L. brandtii. We speculate that L. mandarinus can quickly eliminate resulting damage via the synergistic effect of p53 and HIF-1α in response to acute hypoxic environments, helping the organism quickly return to a normal state after the stress.
Une histoire culturelle de la Révolution
Authors: Bouyssy Maïté
Published: February 2021

Ce livre déploie l’implicite d’un étrange petit carnet écrit entre 1824 et 1834, intitulé Le Salon imaginaire ou le 20e siècle de Bertrand Barère de Vieuzac, titre posé de la main de son auteur, l’ancien rapporteur du Comité de salut public de l’an II.

Or, que veut, que peut un Salon imaginaire, si ce n’est parler de ce dont il n’est pas question : la Révolution française. Ces 230 notices dans l’esprit des Salon de peinture du temps brassent les époques et les lieux. Pour dire sans dire les moments critiques de l’action. L’invention de tableaux à peindre, rarement la reprise d’œuvres réalisées, permettent de ne rien forclore. L’avenir du passé persiste et nourrit la réflexion sur le tragique de la décision qu’elle soit directement politique ou non. Les situations paroxystiques dans le goût de David, leur présentification mentale évoquent les premiers rôles, les complices et les comparses, presque toujours néfastes dans un entrelacs de métaphores cryptées et d’allégories en action. Les voix du silence permettent d’opposer au présent désespérant, celui de la Restauration, la sensibilité préromantique de la seconde génération des Lumières qui fit la Révolution. L’horizon d’attente reste celui d’une humanité réconciliée avec elle-même, de là, le renvoi au xxe siècle. Cette rêverie vagabonde d’un des acteurs majeurs de la Révolution permet une authentique page d’histoire culturelle du politique.
L’urgence, l’horreur, la démocratie
Authors: Bouyssy Maïté
Published: February 2021

Ce livre tente d’identifier, par les mots et les images du temps (lithogra­phie ou grands genres), un « moment politique frénétique » français (1824- 1834). À l’instar du « drame frénétique » lorsque, boulevard du Crime (notre boulevard du Temple), chacun allait pleurer, et plus encore se livrer aux délices de l’angoisse vécue en commun, de sept heures à dix heures du soir. Maïté Bouyssy interroge aussi bien l’usage des larmes et de la compassion, que la mise en scène de l’horreur. Autour de figures charnières — tel Louis XII, le roi malchanceux qui a accompagné la mode troubadour, avant et après la Révolution — et de l’expression de « flots de sang » qui circule dans les lettres et les arts, des images furent reçues comme politiques.

Des Réjouissances publiques de Boilly (1826 pour la gravure de Villain) à La Grèce sur les ruines de Missolonghi de Delacroix (1826), en passant par la célèbre litho­graphie Rue Transnonain le 15 avril de Daumier (1834), l’incessante circulation des mots à l’image montre un dispositif rhétorique qui mène au son. Car le cri donne le lieu social des émotions présentées et redéfinit les raisons du suc­cès de ces auteurs, qui gèrent la dénonciation telle des fables mises en image.

Il ne s’agit ici ni d’éluder les périls de la surinterprétation ni de donner un métasystème de clés, mais de rendre compte des vraies raisons du succès de la réception de ces œuvres. Sous diverses formes, cet ouvrage traite donc du citoyen et du genre, des foules et de Bailleurs, du juste et de l’injuste ou de l’ordinaire ordre policier. Quand se trame un ordre prédémocratique s’accroît l’inquiétude de la « montée du cadavre » qu’ont notée d’autres histo­riens. Cette inquiétude semble avoir partie liée avec le processus d’accep­tation de l’égalité symbolique réalisée dans le suffrage universel de 1848.
Propriété collective et identité communale
Authors: Vivier Nadine
Published: February 2021

Les propriétés des communes ont été l’objet de querelles interminables. Au xviie siècle, temps de la montée de l’individualisme agraire, elles acquièrent la réputation d’inutilité et d’improductivité. Depuis lors, le communal a toujours été stigmatisé, érigé en symbole de l’archaïsme des petits paysans cramponnés à leurs usages collectifs.

Loin de cette schématisation, Nadine Vivier met en évidence la diversité des attitudes régionales. Refusant de réduire les biens communaux à une simple question économique, elle analyse l’attachement des villageois aux coutumes locales, et elle retrace la succession des enjeux dont ils sont l’objet. Enjeu social lorsque, sous Louis XV, ils sont déclarés patrimoine du pauvre, afin de fixer les miséreux dans les campagnes. Puis la Révolution en fait aussi un enjeu politique. À travers tout le xixe siècle, la propriété collective se maintient, patrimoine nécessaire à l’autonomie de communautés face au pouvoir central, à leur maîtrise de l’espace et à la conscience de leur identité.
La maison tourangelle au quotidien
Authors: Schweitz Arlette
Published: February 2021

L’auteur nous invite à entrer dans la maison tourangelle, à la suivre d’une pièce à l’autre, à découvrir l’émergence d’une nouvelle conception de l’intimité domestique, celle du dehors et du dedans, du propre et du sale, du montré et du caché. Organisme vivant, la maison vit en plein accord avec la famille qu’elle reçoit, elle se modifie, s’aménage en fonction de son vécu. Événement majeur, le tourangeau enlève à la salle commune son caractère polyvalent. Cette valorisation de l’espace privé va de pair avec le besoin de délimiter les territoires, non plus par des meubles mais par des parois rigides, de répartir définitivement les tâches domestiques, les zones du repos et du travail. C’est alors la conquête de l’étage et la recherche de l’isolement.

La maison tourangelle devient un véritable miroir de l’adhésion à la modernité comme l’illustre le soin apportéà la chambre à coucher avec son lit « de milieu », et non plus « de coin », sa table de nuit, son armoire à glace, sa commode et son nécessaire de toilette. Les premières cuisinières, souvent d’occasion, concurrencent la traditionnelle cheminée, signalant la disparition des veillées et l’attirance des nouveaux loisirs. La table voit ses dimensions se réduire, sa forme s’arrondir, reflétant la taille et la structure de la communauté tourangelle.
Paul Ramadier (1888-1961)
Authors: Fonvieille-Vojtovic Aline
Published: February 2021

Paul Ramadier est le type même du parlementaire français de la IIIe et IVe République.

Il bâtit sa carrière depuis le bassin houiller d’Aubin-Decazeville (Aveyron), où le socialisme s’est implanté, alors que le département lui-même est dans son ensemble conservateur. D’abord simple militant dès 1910, il s’appuie sur le triptyque parti-syndicat-coopérative, et est élu maire de Decazeville en 1919; il devient en 1928 député de l’arrondissement de Villefranche-de- Rouerge après avoir élargi scs soutiens aux radicaux, et enfin conseiller général. Il s’est ainsi constitué un fief qui le réélit fidèlement jusqu’en 1940; il est plusieurs fois ministre de 1936 à 1938. Démis de ses fonctions par le gouvernement de Vichy, auquel il s’est opposé le 10 juillet 1940, il maintient pendant la guerre des contacts avec ses amis politiques. A la libération, personnalité non compromise, il devient Ministre du Ravitaillement puis Président du Conseil (1947), Ministre de la Défense Nationale (1948-1949) et Ministre de l’Économie et des Finances (1956-1957). C’est un des pères fondateurs et une personnalité de premier plan de la IVe République.

Mais rassembleur de la gauche avant 1940. il s’aliène définitivement l’électorat communiste, qui a grossi depuis la guerre, à cause de ses choix gouvernementaux. Sa carrière politique s’achève en 1958 avec le régime lui-même, et quelques mois plus tard les Decazevillois le rejettent comme maire.

Paul Ramadier représente bien les hommes politiques dont l’action s’est déroulée tant sur le plan local que national. Il permet donc de mieux procéder à la radiographie d’une carrière politique, et d’en faire apparaître, comme exemple, les fils conducteurs et les structures. C’est aussi un social-démocrate convaincu, qui défend la République et les avancées sociales mesurées, mais qui se trouve aussi aux prises avec les contradictions de l’exercice du pouvoir. Une carrière toute d’actualité!

Dans un style alerte qui procure un grand plaisir de lecture Aline Fonvieille- Vojtovic, elle-même d’origine rouergate, réalise un ouvrage qui entremêle judicieusement histoire locale et nationale et met en évidence les ressorts de la vie politique française dans la première moitié du XXe siècle.
Centrisme et démocratie chrétienne en France
Authors: Delbreil Jean-Claude
Published: February 2021

L’Histoire de la vie politique française au xxe siècle a compté jusqu’ici ses « oubliés », et parmi ceux-ci, se trouvent notamment des tendances que le clivage droite-gauche, puis la bipolarisation ont sans-doute empêché de connaître un plus grand développement. Le problème de l’existence d’un « centre » politique a été posé en particulier par les tendances que l’on peut rattacher à la « démocratie chrétienne » au sens large, et l’on ignore souvent que le premier parti véritable de cette inspiration en France a été le Parti Démocrate Populaire, « parti démocrate d’inspiration chrétienne » fondé en 1924 et que l’on peut considérer comme étant «  l’ancêtre » plus ou moins discret du Mouvement Républicain Populaire créé en 1944. Ce parti s’est inséré par ailleurs dans une tradition et une filiation que l’on rappelle dans cet ouvrage.

L’histoire du P.D.P. introduit ainsi au cœur de la question du « centrisme » dans la vie politique française, en même temps qu’elle s’inscrit dans l’histoire des tendances « avancées » du catholicisme français sur le plan politique et social. Elle permet d’aborder certains des problèmes fondamentaux de la France troublée de l’entre deux-guerres, de la « question religieuse » à la montée des périls internationaux en passant par les affrontements sociaux et politiques. Elle témoigne des combats courageux menés par ce parti, même si les résultats n’ont pas toujours été en accord avec les espérances. Le P.D.P. a compté dans l’histoire de cette période, y a joué un rôle qui sera encore renforcé par sa place dans la Résistance. Il a représenté une étape importante dans l’évolution d’un des grands courants de la vie idéologique française, et qui est retracée ici, dans ses lignes de force.
La République impatiente ou le club des Jacobins (1951-1958)
Authors: Reclus Philippe
Published: February 2021

De toutes parts, Ricca entendait dire à son sujet : « Ah, ah ! Monsieur est Persan ? c’est une chose bien extraordinaire ! Comment peut-on être Persan ? » À l’heure où la France endolorie et encore fragile tarde à oublier les souvenirs du désastre, il en est sans doute qui n’ont pas manqué de s’interroger : comment, en 1950, peut-on revendiquer son appartenance au Club des Jacobins ?

Et cependant, l’idée de faire renaître ce club au nom aussi illustre qu’inquiétant, le réflexe d’emprunter au tribun révolutionnaire sa verve, à l’austère inquisiteur son énergie à pourchasser les traîtres, la volonté même de ce cercle d’amis réunis autour de Charles Hemu d’entrer en politique en choisissant la structure clubiste constituent autant de symptômes révélateurs d’une dénonciation : la dénonciation par une génération des mœurs politiques de son époque.

Le jacobinisme est un état d’esprit et une méthode. Tout au long de ces années cinquante où la Quatrième République paraît manquer à ses devoirs, accablée sous le fardeau de ses chimères, il est un groupe de jeunes hommes en colère, épris de ces principes, et qui refusent le déclin. Ce livre tente de faire leur histoire.
Fuzzy Hybrid FMEA for Risk Assessment in Service Industry
Authors: Kabadayi Nihan
Published: February 2021

Service products are mostly produced and consumed simultaneously through interaction between customer and service providers. To prevent external failures in service operations, it is important to identify potential risks and take relevant actions to eliminate or reduce the occurrence. Therefore, risk assessment is vital to customer satisfaction in any service organization. Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is an effective and useful tool for risk assessment. Although FMEA has been extensively studied in the manufacturing literature, there are a limited number of studies considering the application of FMEA in the hospitality industry. In traditional FMEA, the risk priority of failure modes is determined by generating a crisp risk priority number (RPN). However, it has been claimed in the literature that crisp RPN doesn't have a good performance in reflecting real-life situations. To overcome this shortcoming, a fuzzy hybrid FMEA method is developed. The proposed method has been tested on a case study in a five-star hotel to assess its applicability and benefits.
Fuzzy Reliability Theory in the Decision-Making Process
Authors: Kaplan Halid , Can Muhammed
Published: February 2021

In the process of dealing with various problems that are related to the control and management of complex systems, uncertainty is always the issue. Most of the decisions to be made by engineers and governors are subject to a lack of data that causes uncertainty. Some information is not always accessible and insufficient at the time of decision-making (DM). It is important to use the concept of a human being's expert knowledge, so developing models to estimate and imitate human decision-making systems has been becoming necessary. This chapter will critically assess the fuzzy reliability theory and systems to demonstrate how fuzzy logic represents human behavior and non-linearity. The authors created a fuzzy inference system to model two different complex systems. Fuzzy approaches to real problems in DM are effective alternatives to traditional approaches. Fuzzy integrations improve DM models in five principal features: (1) expert knowledge, (2) uncertainty handling, (3) human and government behavior modeling, (4) flexible modeling, and (5) simpler representations.
Fuzzy Reliability Evaluation of Complex Systems Using Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets

In a system where it cannot be reduced to a pure series and parallel form (i.e., complex), reliability is obtained by universal generating function (UGF) technique. The intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) concept with triangular fuzzy number (TFN) and Weibull lifetime distribution is introduced to find the fuzzy reliability of the same system. Also, averaging operator with given equal weights is used with the set of three triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number. A numerical example is solved for demonstration.
Fuzzy System Reliability Using Fuzzy Lifetime Distribution Emphasizing Octagonal Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers
Authors: Kumar Pawan
Published: February 2021

The present study proposes to determine the fuzzy reliability of different systems in which the lifetime of components are following fuzzy exponential distribution where fuzzy reliability function and its α-cut set are presented. The fuzzy reliability of different systems is defined on the basis of octagonal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The fuzzy reliability functions of k-out-of-m system, series system, parallel systems, and their fuzzy mean time to failure are discussed respectively using the concept of α-cut of octagonal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. Finally, some numerical examples are discussed to illustrate how to calculate the fuzzy system reliability and α-cut of fuzzy mean time to failure (FMTTF).

Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder involving mutation of the dystrophin gene. Cardiac involvement in BMD is frequent and represents the foremost cause of mortality. Two male siblings with severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and presence of deletion in the dystrophin gene underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, which revealed typical but varying imaging findings. The CMR revealed dilated left ventricle with severe global hypokinesis with preserved right ventricular (RV) function. Few patchy areas of septal edema were seen with typical epicardial enhancement along the LV lateral wall and the RV side of septum in one sibling. Both the siblings revealed an elevated myocardial native T1 values. CMR has the potential to detect cardiac involvement early by identifying and quantifying fibrosis, before wall motion abnormalities set in and determine prognosis in patients with muscular dystrophy and BMD carriers.
Unusual Combination of Cardiac Anomalies with Absent Pulmonary Valve Syndrome in a Fetus
Authors: Nair Anupama , Srivastava Savitri
Published: February 2021

Absent pulmonary valve syndrome is a rare anomaly and its combination with a complete atrioventricular septal defect and double-outlet right ventricle is even rarer which has never been reported in the literature as an antenatal diagnosis. We report a case of a 21-week fetus diagnosed having this rare combination of lesions. The main purpose of reporting this case is to highlight the prognostic implications for the fetus with this complex heart defect. There is a high risk of fetal heart failure and a higher risk of associated extracardiac and chromosomal anomalies. Unfortunately, the pregnancy was terminated, and hence, further antenatal course and postnatal details could not be evaluated.

Published: February 2021

Background: A number of studies have been conducted in Nigeria on the prevalence of cryptococcal infections mostly on HIV-infected patients using culture, India ink and/or latex agglutination tests. These tests are either laborious, time-consuming and expensive or have low sensitivity, thus limiting their use. Cryptococcal antigen lateral flow assays (LFA) were introduced in the last decade as rapid user-friendly tests for diagnosis. In this study, we sought to determine the diagnostic accuracy of an LFA kit for the detection of cryptococcal antigen in the serum of HIV-negative patients with or without cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke in University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria.Methodology: The diagnostic accuracy of Dynamiker CrAg LFA was tested against BiosynexR CryptoPS on serum samples of 100 HIV-negative patients with and without stroke. Samples were tested and results interpreted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and positive and negative likelihood ratios of the Dynamiker CrAg LFA were calculated by comparing with the BiosynexR CryptoPS as ‘gold standard’.Results: Overall, a total of 98 valid patient sample results were analysed; 17 samples (17.3%) were positive with Dynamiker CrAg LFA cryptococcal antigen and 16 samples (16.3%) were positive with BiosynexR CryptoPS. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of Dynamiker CrAg LFA compared to the BiosynexR CryptoPS were 100%, 98.8%, 94.1% and 100% respectively, while the positive and negative likelihood ratios were 82 and 0 respectively.Conclusion: In comparison to the BiosynexR CryptoPS, the Dynamiker CrAg LFA is a highly sensitive and specific test for the detection of cryptococcal antigen in serum. The test kit should be considered as a screening device for cryptococcal infection both in outreach and clinical settings, especially in antiretroviral therapy (ART) centres.

Background: Index testing is a voluntary process whereby HIV seropositive clients are counselled and, after obtaining consent, their sexual and needle sharing partners are offered HIV testing services. Index testing has been associated with high HIV positivity yield. The aim of this study is to determine the positivity yield and identify factors influencing the yield from index testing strategy in selected healthcare facilities in Ondo State, southwest Nigeria.

Methodology: Six public hospitals in Ondo State with the highest HIV clients currently on treatment were selected. Records of all clients newly diagnosed to be HIV positive at the selected facilities from June 2018 to September 2019, and who had an outcome for index testing services were reviewed. Data were collected using a chart abstraction template from the index testing registers. Information collected included age and gender of the index clients and their partners, method of referral and notification of partners, HIV test results of partners and linkage status of new HIVpositive partners. Data analyses were done using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 24.0. Chi-square was used to test association between variables at a significance level of p<0.01.

Results: The records of a total of 904 index clients and their partners were reviewed with partner elicitation ratio of 1:1. The mean ages of index clients and their partners were 38.52±10.96 and 38.98±10.79 years respectively, and majority of the index clients (34.6%) and partners (35.5%) were in the 35-44 years age group. A total of 548 index clients were females (60.6%) while 528 of their partners were males (58.4%), indicating  predominantly heterosexual (96.4%) and few homosexual (lesbian) relationships (3.6%). One-fifth (20%) of partners tested positive for HIV andwere all (100%) linked to antiretroviral therapy (ART). The HIV positivity rate in partners of male index clients (26.9%) was significantly higher than in partners of female index clients (15.5%) (p<0.01). Partner referral method was mostly through assisted referral (56%) and most (82%) were contacted by the index clients through phone.

Conclusion: Due to its high positivity yield, index testing is a veritable strategy to increase HIV case detection and linkage to ART. Hence, proper deployment of index testing will be critical to improving ART coverage and achieving epidemiological control.

Aurelia Mallya: Locative-subject alternation constructions in Kiwoso
Authors: Mallya Aurelia
Published: February 2021

Locative subject alternation constructions show variation within and across languages in terms of subject agreement pattern and the type of predicates involved. In Kiwoso, the preverbal locative DPs with and without locative morphology are best analysed as canonical subjects, as evidenced by the subject diagnostics, such as subject-verb agreement and its occurrence as a subject of passive verb and relative verb clauses. The examined examples demonstrate that the postverbal subject neither behaves like canonical subject nor shows features of canonical object in that it cannot passivize in alternation constructions or appear on the verb as an object marker (i.e., cannot be object marked). However, there is strong evidence to suggest that the preverbal locative (subject) DP in Kiwoso locative-subject alternation constructions is a grammatical subject. As in most languages, locative-subject constructions in Kiwoso serve a pragmatic-discourse function of presentational focus. The locative subject argument of the locative-subject alternation constructions is interpreted as a topic, whereas the postverbal thematic subject of these sentences is understood as focus. The postverbal subject provides information which is usually discourse new in relation to preverbal locative DPs. The data examined from Kiwoso challenges the view that formal and semantic locative inversions cannot co-exist in a single language.
