The Potential Wind Power Resource in Central-South of the Constanta County
Authors: Boboc Emilian
Published: February 2020

Usually, wind turbine generator’s structures or radio masts are located in wind exposed sites. The paper aims to investigate the wind conditions in the nearby area of Cobadin Commune, Constanta County, Romania at heights of 150-200m above the surface using global reanalysis data sets CFSR, ERA 5, ERA I and MERRA 2.

Using the extreme value theory and the physical models of the datasets, the research focuses on the assessment of the maximum values that are expected for the wind speeds, but the wind statistics created can be used for a further wind or energy yield calculation.

Without reaching the survival wind speed for wind turbine generators, with mean wind speed values higher than 7 m/s and considering the cut-in and cut-out wind speeds of 3 m/s, respectively 25 m/s, the site can be exploited in more than 90% of the time to generate electricity, thus, the paper is addressed to the investors in the energy of renewable sources. At the same time, the insights of the wind characteristics and the knowledge of the extreme values of the wind speed can be useful, not just for the designers, in the rational assessment of the structural safety of wind turbines, but also those evaluating the insured losses.
A Review of Methods and Challenges for Improvement in Efficiency and Distance for Wireless Power Transfer Applications
Authors: Kuka Sokol , Ni Kai , Alkahtani Mohammed
Published: February 2020

Over the past few years, interest and research in wireless power transfer (WPT) have been rapidly incrementing, and as an effect, this is a remarkable technology in many electronic devices, electric vehicles and medical devices. However, most of the applications have been limited to very close distances because of efficiency concerns. Even though the inductive power transfer technique is becoming relatively mature, it has not shown near-field results more than a few metres away transmission. This review is focused on two fundamental aspects: the power efficiency and the transmission distance in WPT systems. Introducing the principles and the boundaries, scientific articles will be reviewed and discussed in terms of their methods and respective challenges. This paper also shows more important results in efficiency and distance obtained, clearly explaining the theory behind and obstacles to overcome. Furthermore, an overlook in other aspects and the latest research studies for this technology will be given. Moreover, new issues have been raised including safety and security.
Analyzing Capital Structure across Industries: Evidence from Croatia
Authors: Karanović Bisera , Nikolić Gordana , Karanović Goran
Published: February 2020

Capital structure refers to the delicate balance between equity and debt that a company uses to finance its assets. It is typically expressed as a debt-to-equity or debt-to-capital ratio, with the components usually located on the right side of the company’s balance sheet. Capital structure can exert great influence on the company’s risk profile and ability to leverage its operations. For this reason, the authors conducted an investigation of the capital structure of 16 joint stock companies listed on the Zagreb Stock Exchange comprising CROBEX, the equity index of Croatia for a three-year period starting in 2015 and ending in 2017. The study demonstrates that many CROBEX-listed companies are very risk averse and choose to remain debt-free. Some are, however, starting to discover the potential offered by financial leverage and have slowly started adjusting their capital structure. In conclusion, capital structure is slowly becoming an issue worthy of discussion on the corporate agendas in Croatia.

Authors: Maleković Sanja , Tišma Sanja , Jelinčić Daniela Angelina , Boromisa Ana-Maria
Published: February 2020

The paper is focused on the results of the first conducted sectoral interim evaluation in Croatia, that of the Croatian Tourism Development Strategy till 2020. The authors reflect on the methodology used, the applied approach, the objectives and scope of the recently implemented interim evaluation of the mentioned Strategy. They comment on the purpose and functions of this sectoral evaluation and observe objectively its role from the point of view of achieving effectiveness, long term, and concrete and sustainable development impacts in the sector of tourism. The main findings of the conducted evaluation are presented, based on a number of held interviews and a survey with the main policy makers, civil servants as well as all key stakeholders in the tourism industry. Particular focus is given to evaluation questions and judgement criteria based on the evaluation criteria of effectiveness, impact and sustainability. The authors indicate some of the positive achievements, and particularly the current problems and challenges in the segment of tourism in Croatia in the period until 2020 and beyond. Along with observations related to the issues of accountability in the sector, the paper also provides reflections on the learning effects as the end result of such an evaluation, contributing to further policy development and policy learning in the sector of tourism. The authors indicate that their experience with this first interim evaluation could serve as a good practice example for conducting similar sectoral evaluations in Croatia as well as a tool for further long term development of tourism in the country, since the sector is of pivotal importance for Croatia’s local, regional and urban development as well as its overall economic competitiveness. Particular attention is given to some of the noted deficiencies and needs for further improvements in this sector, vital for Croatia’s further development. Recommendations are provided for improvements of the overall Croatian tourism development policy, with specific focus on the effectiveness of the so far achieved results as well as sustainable implementation of the Strategy and overall policy, aiming at reaching major and more concrete development impacts in the field of tourism.
Towards a near-native speaker’s pronunciation: The most challenging aspects of English pronunciation for Polish learners and ways of dealing with them: The consonants
Authors: Czaja Zbigniew
Published: February 2020

This paper is an attempt to present an overview of the most common and notorious consonant-related mispronunciations committed by Polish learners of English, which result mainly in a foreign accent, but also occasionally cause confusion or misunderstandings. Apart from identifying the errors, I will try to indicate possible sources of the “favoured” substitutions, as well as suggest a number of practical solutions to solve these errors. Making improvements in the areas discussed below is of paramount value if a near-native pronunciation is to be attained, since at the segmental level it is the consonants that are the basis of a native speaker’s pronunciation. For this and other reasons, I will argue that the consonants should be given the greatest care at least by professionals such as English teachers and interpreters, whose English should be near-native not only for the benefit of their students and clients, but also for greater ease and better quality of communication among the entire English speaking community.

Published: February 2020

The most important early stage in sperm infertility research is the detection of sperm objects. The success rate in separating sperm objects from semen fluid has an important role for further analysis. This research performed the detection and calculation of human spermatozoa. The detected sperm was the moving sperm in the video data. An improvement of Adaptive Background Learning was applied to detect the moving sperm. The purpose of this method is to improve the performance of Adaptive Background Learning algorithm in background subtraction process to detect and calculate moving sperm on the microscopic video of sperm fluid. This paper also compared several other background subtraction algorithms to conclude the appropriate background subtraction algorithm for sperm detection and sperm counting. The process done in this research was preprocessing using the Gaussian filter. The next was background subtraction process, followed by morphology operation. To test or validate the detection results of any background subtraction algorithm used, the foreground mask results from the morphological operation were compared to the ground truth of moving sperm image. For visualization purposes, every BLOB area (white object in binary image) on the foreground were given a bounding box to the original frame and the number of BLOB objects present in the foreground mask were counted. This shows that the system had been able to detect and calculate moving sperm. Based on the test results, Adaptive Background Learning method had a value of F-measure of 0.9205 and succeeded in extracting sperm shape close to the original form compared to other methods.

Economic outcomes predicted by diversity in cities

Published: February 2020

Much recent work has illuminated the growth, innovation, and prosperity of entire cities, but there is relatively less evidence concerning the growth and prosperity of individual neighborhoods. In this paper we show that diversity of amenities within a city neighborhood, computed from openly available points of interest on digital maps, accurately predicts human mobility ("flows") between city neighborhoods and that these flows accurately predict neighborhood economic productivity. Additionally, the diversity of consumption behaviour or the diversity of flows together with geographic centrality and population density accurately predicts neighborhood economic growth, even after controlling for standard factors such as population, etc. We develop our models using geo-located purchase data from Istanbul, and then validate the relationships using openly available data from Beijing and several U.S. cities. Our results suggest that the diversity of goods and services within a city neighborhood is the largest single factor driving both human mobility and economic growth.
Improving statistical inferences: Can a MOOC reduce statistical misconceptions about p-values, confidence intervals, and Bayes factors?
Authors: Herrera-Bennett Arianne Constance , Heene Moritz , Lakens Daniel , Ufer Stefan
Published: February 2020

Statistical reforms in psychology and surrounding domains have been largely motivated by doubts surrounding the methodological and statistical rigor of researchers. In light of high rates of p-value misunderstandings, against the backdrop systematically raised criticisms of NHST, some authors have deemed misconceptions about p-value “impervious to correction” (Haller & Krauss, 2002, p. 1), while others have advocated for the entire abandonment of statistical significance in place of alternative methods of inference (e.g., Amrhein, Greenland, & McShane, 2019). Surprisingly little work, however, has empirically investigated the extent to which statistical misconceptions can be improved reliably within individuals, nor whether these improvements are transient or maintained. The current study (N = 2,320) evaluated baseline misconception rates of p-value, confidence interval, and Bayes factor interpretations among online learners, as well as rates of improvement in accuracy across an 8-week massive open online course (MOOC). Results demonstrated statistically significant improvements in accuracy rates, across all three concepts, for immediate learning (first post-test), as well as support for retained learning until week 8 (second post-test). The current work challenges the idea that statistical misconceptions are impervious to correction, and highlights the importance of pinpointing those more problematic misunderstandings that may warrant more efforts to support improvement. Before we abandon one of the most widely used approaches to statistical inferences in place of an alternative, it is worth exploring whether it is first possible to improve existing misunderstandings amid current methods used.

Dalam pengajaran disekolah pun, khususnya pengajaran Bahasa Indonesia, guru senantiasa berusaha agar siswa tidak mengalami kesulitan dalam memahami konsep bahasa Indonesia yaitu mendeskripsikan benda, namun dalam kenyataannya masih banyak siswa yang tidak dapat memahami konsep bahasa Indonesia tentang mendeskripsikan benda sebagaimana yang diharapkan oleh guru. Hal ini dapat diketahui rendahnya daya serap siswa dalam memahami konsep bahasa Indonesia yaitu mendeskripsikan benda meskipun telah diusahakan dengan baik oleh guru. Kesulitan siswa dalam memahami konsep Bahasa Indonesia tentang mendeskripsikan suatu gambar merupakan salah satu masalah yang dihadapi oleh guru. Jika guru memberikan ulangan atau tes yang diberikan oleh guru. Jika guru memberikan ulangan atau tes pada setiap pokok bahasan hasilnya 50% siswa mendapat nilai di bawah rata-rata, dan hanya sedikit siswa (50%) yang mendapat nilai di atas karena mereka telah memahami konsep yang diajarkan oleh guru. Untuk itu sangat penting bagi guru untuk memberikan bantuan baik berupa perlakuan ataupun cara-cara memahami bahan pelajaran. Oleh sebab itu salah satu bantuan yang bisa dilakukan guru adalah dengan pemberian program remedial yaitu suatu bentuk kegiatan yang bersifat menyembuhkan, membetulkan atau mengajar kembali, sehingga pemahaman siswa menjadi lebih baik dibandingkan dengan sebelumnya.

Nutritional Attitudes among Seamen
Authors: Sąlyga Jonas
Published: February 2020

This study on shipboard life and work summarizes the extremely limited research findings on food and diet. We analyzed descriptive statistics results using the 2003 and 2007 Lithuanian seamen’s lifestyle survey to determine the food habits and nutritional attitudes at sea. Survey object was the changes in Lithuanian seamen’s eating habits during a four year period (2003–2007. Survey objectives were to determine changes in seamen eating habits (1), to examine seamen eating habits (2). Survey methodology: Every seaman who needed compulsory health examination was given a questionnaire. The methodology was parallel to the 1st survey’s methodology (2003) and was more thoroughly explained in previous articles. All the seamen that had worked for at least one voyage, despite age, had equal rights to participate in the study. 932 Lithuanian male seamen (20 to 69 of age) who had their health examined in Klaipeda “Seamen’s” hospital participated in the study. Their average age was 40.0 (SD 11.7). The questionnaire was computerized, the data was assessed using data bank crated with Microsoft access that contained data from the first survey (2003). The three food habit scores were used measuring the frequency of consuming sugar, fat, and fibre amongst the maritime group. The perceptions the seamen had about their own diet were examined by asking about consumption of fruit and vegetables as a marker of the quality of their diet: 5.3% perceived their diet as excellent, 23.8% as very good, 42.4% as good, 25.7% as fair and only 7.7% as poor. Results: The data indicated a significantly higher consumption of sugar and fat at sea compared with ashore. Overall, when contrasting seafaring groups, significant differences existed in nutrition attitudes. Management and auxiliary sectors members rated nutrition as less relevant to their health than mechanical ship service and deck crew members. The total maritime group  demonstrated a tendency of individuals to try new foods. There were no significant differences in this nutritional dimension between maritime groups. Each of the occupational groups held similar beliefs about the importance of nutrition. Conclusions: the survey showed that seamen’s eating became healthier in 2007 compared to 2003 survey results, however consumption of fruit and vegetables remained below the level recommended by WHO. Seamen used less vegetables and fruit while at sea than when at home. On average, seamen used more sugar and fat while at sea. All the seamen groups acknowledged the importance of eating for health and were open to new food suggestions.Keywords: seamen’s, nutrition, diet, ashore, at sea.

The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of traditional physiotherapy (control group), and traction therapy with TherapiMaster equipment (research group) on treatment of low back pain. Subjects: 40 patients from 34 to 62 years of age with low back pain participated in the study. Methods: static and dynamic trunk muscle endurance, low back pain intensity (according to Numeric Rating Scale, and McGill pain questionnaire), and functional state (according to Roland-Morris questionnaire, and Oswestry disability index) of patients were evaluated. Patients of control group received 14 procedures of traditional physiotherapy. The patients in the research group received 14 procedures of lumbar traction with TerapiMaster equipment and exercises. Conclusions: Physiotherapy procedures improved static and dynamic trunk muscle endurance in both control and research groups (p < 0.01), reduced low back pain (p < 0.01), and improved the patients’ functional state in both groups (p < 0.01). The physiotherapy program with lumbar traction had better effect only relieving back pain assessed by McGill pain questionnaire compared to traditional physiotherapy (p < 0.05).Keywords: low back pain, lumbar traction, physiotherapy, Roland-Morris and McGill questionnaires, Oswestry disability index.

In this research, electric motors faults and their identification is reviewed. Brushless direct-current (BLDC) motors stator fault identification using long short-term memory neural networks were analyzed. A proposed method of vibration data acquisition using cloud technologies with high accuracy, feature extraction using spectral entropy, and instantaneous frequency and standardization using mean and standard deviation was reviewed. Additionally, model training with raw and standardized data was compared. A total model accuracy of 97.10 percent was achieved. The proposed methods could successfully identify the motor stator status from normal, to loss of stator winding imminent and arcing, and lastly to open circuit in stator winding—motor needing to stop immediately—by using gathered data from real experiments, training the model and testing it theoretically.

Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are common cartilage and joint diseases that globally affect more than 200 million and 20 million people, respectively. Several transcription factors have been implicated in the onset and progression of osteoarthritis, including Runx2, C/EBPβ, HIF2α, Sox4, and Sox11. Interleukin-1 β (IL-1β) leads to osteoarthritis through NF-ĸB, IκBζ, and the Zn2+-ZIP8-MTF1 axis. IL-1, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) play a major pathological role in rheumatoid arthritis through NF-ĸB and JAK/STAT pathways. Indeed, inhibitory reagents for IL-1, IL-6, and TNFα provide clinical benefits for rheumatoid arthritis patients. Several growth factors, such as bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), fibroblast growth factor (FGF), parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP), and Indian hedgehog, play roles in regulating chondrocyte proliferation and differentiation. Disruption and excess of these signaling pathways cause genetic disorders in cartilage and skeletal tissues. Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive, an autosomal genetic disorder characterized by ectopic ossification, is induced by mutant ACVR1. Mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase (mTOR) inhibitors can prevent ectopic ossification induced by ACVR1 mutations. C-type natriuretic peptide is currently the most promising therapy for achondroplasia and related autosomal genetic diseases that manifest severe dwarfism. In these ways, investigation of cartilage and chondrocyte diseases at molecular and cellular levels has enlightened the development of effective therapies. Thus, identification of signaling pathways and transcription factors implicated in these diseases is important.
p53-Related Transcription Targets of TAp73 in Cancer Cells—Bona Fide or Distorted Reality?

Identification of p73 as a structural homolog of p53 fueled early studies aimed at determining if it was capable of performing p53-like functions. This led to a conundrum as p73 was discovered to be hardly mutated in cancers, and yet, TAp73, the full-length form, was found capable of performing p53-like functions, including transactivation of many p53 target genes in cancer cell lines. Generation of mice lacking p73/TAp73 revealed a plethora of developmental defects, with very limited spontaneous tumors arising only at a later stage. Concurrently, novel TAp73 target genes involved in cellular growth promotion that are not regulated by p53 were identified, mooting the possibility that TAp73 may have diametrically opposite functions to p53 in tumorigenesis. We have therefore comprehensively evaluated the TAp73 target genes identified and validated in human cancer cell lines, to examine their contextual relevance. Data from focused studies aimed at appraising if p53 targets are also regulated by TAp73—often by TAp73 overexpression in cell lines with non-functional p53—were affirmative. However, genome-wide and phenotype-based studies led to the identification of TAp73-regulated genes involved in cellular survival and thus, tumor promotion. Our analyses therefore suggest that TAp73 may not necessarily be p53’s natural substitute in enforcing tumor suppression. It has likely evolved to perform unique functions in regulating developmental processes and promoting cellular growth through entirely different sets of target genes that are not common to, and cannot be substituted by p53. The p53-related targets initially reported to be regulated by TAp73 may therefore represent an experimental possibility rather than the reality.

Published: February 2020

Q960 high-strength steel is widely used in pressure vessels, bridges, offshore platforms and other important steel structural components because of its high strength and good plastic toughness, but alloy elements added to this kind of steel have strong hardenability, especially after welding, so the strength and toughness cannot meet the requirements, which limits its application in a wider range. In this paper, from the point of view of the metallurgical treatment of the weld, the goal is to improve the strength and toughness of the Q960 high strength steel weld metal In order to analyze the influence of Zr on the welding process of Q960 steel and the strengthening and toughening effect of weld metal, this paper takes Fe-Mn-Mo-Cr-Ni as the main alloy system, BaF2-CaF2-Al-Mg as the basic slag system, and adopts the method of melting consumable electrode self-shielded for welding, and analyzes the welding process, microstructure, tensile property and impact toughness of the welded joint. The experimental results show that when the weld metal contains 0.0061% Zr, the minimum spatter rate is only 7%, the maximum slag removal rate is 95%, the maximum hardness is 357HV, the maximum elongation is 34%, and the impact toughness is the highest. At this time, the acicular ferrite content in the weld microstructure is the highest, and there is a certain amount of equiaxed fine-grained ferrite, and the content of proeutectoid ferrite is the least, which effectively improves the strength and toughness of the weld metal.
Women and Sikhism in Theory and Practice: Normative Discourses, Seva Performances, and Agency in the Case Study of Some Young Sikh Women in Northern Italy
Authors: Bertolani Barbara
Published: February 2020

The paper reflects on the role of women in Sikhism in theory and social practice, starting from a case study in northern Italy. Although the normative discourse widely shared in mainstream Sikhism affirms the equality between man and woman and the same possibility to manifest devotion through every kind of seva (social service within gurdwaras), empirical observation in some Italian gurdwaras has shown a different picture, as there is a clear division of tasks that implicitly subtends a gender-based hierarchy. This relational structure is challenged by intergenerational tensions, especially by young women born or raised in Italy, who may want to develop a different Sikh identity, considered compatible also with the Italian social and cultural context. In this initial process of collective identity definition and of agency, the female participation in the religious seva within gurdwaras is identified as the tool for change of power relations that cross genders and generations.
