Published: June 2022

World education at the present stage consists of many diﬀerent national systems. They diﬀer from each other in national goals and objectives, cultural traditions, as well as the state of the quality of education. Russian education is undergoing a stage of reform. Now the transformations have aﬀected the sphere of control (supervision) of educational organizations. General trends in changes in control and supervisory activities are aimed at reducing the administrative burden on business and, at the same time, increasing the protection of legally protected values. During the discussions, among other things, it was proposed to replace state control (supervision) with public control in certain areas. It will be relevant to analyze the experience of managing the education system,including state and public control, in foreign countries. As an example, the article considers Canada, which has much in common with Russia: multinationalism, large territory, federal structure, levels of education, etc., while Canada has a high rating on the assessment of education at the world level. The author assessed the management of the Canadian education system, the legal regulation of state and public control (supervision). Studying foreign experience will allow integrating it into the Russian education system, which, in turn, will allow integrating Russian education in the global world. The study was conducted using comparative legal analysis, generalization of information.
Understanding Nonlinear Composition Dependency of Enantioselectivity in Chiral Separation Using Mixed Micelle
Authors: Suzuki Nozomu
Published: June 2022

Mixtures of chiral and achiral building blocks of supramolecules exhibit interesting cooperative phenomena, indicated by the nonlinear relationship between chiral properties and the mole fraction of chiral building blocks. However, the nonlinear com-position dependence of the chiral recognition capability of spherical mixed micelles is not well understood. In this work, achiral (N-dodecanoyl-glycine or N-dodecanoyl-2-methylalanine) and chiral (N-dodecanoyl-L-alanine) surfactants were studied in detail. Micellar electrokinetic chromatography found nonlinear composition dependencies of enantioselectivity. Capillary electrophoresis, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, surface tension measurement, and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to investigate the following four possible mechanisms: (i) synergistic and antagonistic interactions between two different kinds of surfactants; (ii) the chiral transfer from chiral to achiral surfactant; (iii) differences in the capacity factor of surfac-tants; and (iv) enhanced cooperative chiral recognition of the chiral and achiral surfactant boundaries in the mixed micelle. Based on derived equations, the effect of (i) and (ii) was negligibly small, while (iii) and (iv) were dominant for the observed nonlinear enantioselectivity.
An energy decomposition and extrapolation scheme for evaluating electron transfer rate constants: A case study on electron self-exchange reactions of transition metal complexes
Authors: Mutsuji Akihiro , Saita Kenichiro , Maeda Satoshi
Published: June 2022

A simple approach for analyzing electron transfer (ET) reactions is proposed based on energy decomposition and extrapolation schemes. The present energy decomposition and extrapolation-based electron localization (EDEEL) method represents the diabatic energies for the initial and final states using the adiabatic energies of the donor and acceptor species and their complex. A scheme to estimate ET rate constants efficiently is also proposed by combining it with the Marcus theory. EDEEL is semi-quantitative by directly evaluating the seam-of-crossing region of two diabatic potentials. In a numerical test, EDEEL successfully provided ET rate constants for electron self-exchange reactions of thirteen transition metal complexes with reasonable accuracy. Furthermore, its energy decomposition and extrapolation schemes give all the energy values required in the activation strain model (ASM) analysis. The ASM analysis using EDEEL provided rational interpretations of the variation of the ET rate constants depending on the transition metal complexes. Its extension combining two computational levels was discussed to further reduce its computational costs. These results suggest that EDEEL is useful in efficiently evaluating ET rate constants and obtaining a rational understanding of their magnitudes.

Overview of the winning approaches in BCI Controlled Robot Contest in World Robot Contest 2021: Calibration-free SSVEP
Authors: Bian Rui , Wu Dongrui
Published: June 2022

Recently, steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) has become one of the most popular electroencephalography paradigms due to its high information transfer rate. Several approaches have been proposed to improve the performance of SSVEP. The calibration-free scenario is significant in SSVEP-based brain–computer interface systems, where the subject is the first time to use the system. The participating teams proposed several effective calibration-free algorithm frameworks in the SSVEP competition (calibration-free) of the BCI Controlled Robot Contest in World Robot Contest 2021. This paper introduces the approaches used in the algorithms of the top five teams in the final. The results of the five subjects in the final proved the effectiveness of the approaches. This paper discusses the effectiveness of each approach in improving the system performance in the calibration-free scenario and gives suggestions on how to use these approaches in a real-world system.
Shallow Layer Convolutional Features with Correlation Filters for UAV Object Tracking
Authors: Syihabuddin Budi , Wibowo Suryo Adhi , Prasetyo Agus D. , Saputri Desti Madya
Published: June 2022

In this paper, convolutional shallow features are proposed for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) tracking. These convolutional shallow features are generated by pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNN) and are used to represent the target objects. Furthermore, to estimate the location of the target objects, an adaptive correlation filter based on the Fourier transform is used. This filter is multiplied with the convolutional shallow features by using pixel-wise multiplication in the Fourier domain. Then, the inverse of Fourier is performed to estimate the location of the target object, where its location is represented by the maximum value of the response map. Unfortunately, the target object always changes its appearance during tracking. Therefore, we proposed an updated model to address this issue. The proposed method is evaluated by using the UAV123 10fps benchmark dataset. Based on the comprehensive experimental results, the proposed method performs favorably against state-of-the-art tracking algorithms

Authors: Chen Honglin
Published: June 2022

The advent of the era of “Internet +” has opened up a new channel for college English teaching and improved its quality. However, college students tend to overlook traditional culture as they place greater emphasis on learning English grammar, along with British and American cultures. Teachers should attempt to change students’ attitude in time [1]. College English teachers can utilize the high-quality English resources on the internet, create information-based courses, use micro courses to share British and American film clips, establish English associations, organize English poetry recitation, drama performance, and film dubbing activities, carry out English-Chinese translation training, improve students’ cross-cultural awareness, and ensure that traditional culture takes root in college English classes.

Authors: Ghufron M. Ali
Published: June 2022

Due to the scarcity of studies on online EFL classroom management in the Indonesian context, this study attempts to explore online EFL classroom management from the viewpoints of Indonesian EFL teachers in terms of its processes, strategies, and challenges. This study employed a qualitative case study approach involving 6 EFL teachers. Within three months, data were gathered through interviews with EFL teachers, which were then evaluated in a narrative way. The findings reveal that (1) in management process, teachers must make an appointment with students, prepare the content and task for online learning, deliver materials and tasks through online media, and give feedback to students’ works directly or indirectly for their evaluation or assessment; It takes a lot of processes to complete online learning management from the preparation, implementation, and evaluation stages; (2) teachers may use different strategies in managing online EFL classrooms; however, the most important points are using clear instructions in organizing the students (e.g., in doing tasks) to minimize students’ confusion, using a balance portion in using a variety of assignment methods (individual, pair, and group), and choosing interesting learning activities to engage students; and (3) the challenges faced by Indonesian EFL teachers are, among others, developing online learning materials and tasks, building a strong online learning community, and integrating teacher-student-parent relationships in online learning. This study may have implications to several parties, such as EFL teachers, students, and parents.

Published: June 2022

This study on a security system for detecting denial of service (DDoS) and masquerade attacks on social networks specifically describes how a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm was employed. The dataset used for this research is the CICIDS2017 dataset, which contains benign data (no attack present) and the most up-to-date, frequent attacks which resemble true, real-world data. The feature extraction method used was recursive feature elimination (RFE), which reduced 77 columns of the dataset to 10 columns. This research was motivated by the limitation of Alguliyev and Abdullayeva 2019, which focused on the prediction of DDoS attack occurrence by getting related texts in social media. It has a limited attack class that focuses solely on DDoS attacks, and it does not perform social media network prediction in general. The objective of this research is to develop a security system for detecting DDoS and masquerade attacks and evaluate the detection model on social media networks. The system was tested on Facebook and Instagram. The result of the training accuracy that we derived from this research is 99.53%, while the testing accuracy is 99.52%. The result of this research is compared with previous studies’ results. This study recommends that the model implemented can be enhanced more effectively by comparing the accuracy of alternative deep learning algorithms to that of the CNN utilized in the current prediction model.
An Efficient Deep Learning Classification Model for Predicting Credit Card Fraud on Skewed Data
Authors: Rtayli Naoufal
Published: June 2022

Due to fast-evolving technology, the world is moving to the use of credit cards rather than money in their daily lives, giving rise to many new opportunities for fraudsters to use credit cards maliciously. Based on the Nilson report, losses related to global cards were estimated to be over $35 billion by 2020. In order to maintain the security of users of these cards, the credit card company must develop a service to ensure that users are protected from any risks they may be exposed to. For this reason, we introduce a fraud detection model, denoted ST-BPNN, which is based on machine and deep learning approaches to identify fraudulent transactions. ST-BPNN was applied on real fraud detection data provided by the European bank. Comparing the obtained results from ST-BPNN with a recent state-of-the-art approach shows that our proposed model demonstrates high predictive performance for detecting fraudulent transactions.

Published: June 2022

Since the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (CoVID-19), the World Health Organization has suggested that alcohol-based hand sanitizers should be used in the absence of soap and water to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV2. This study aimed to assess the efficacy and toxicity of hand sanitizers produced and/or distributed on the Lebanese market. The study included 31 different brands of hand sanitizers that were analyzed using headspace gas chromatography- mass spectrometry to detect impurities and alcohol content. The impurities were identified based on a Mass Spectrometry database. Regression analysis was used to determine ethanol percentage. Accordingly, a toxicological review was conducted to assess the various risks associated with the usage of hand sanitizers. Detected impurities mainly included but not limited to ethyl acetate, benzene, acetone, and acetal. Among the ethanol-containing hand sanitizers, 71% contained less than 60% v/v alcohol not complying with the CDC and WHO recommendations which state that ethanol concentration should be at least 60%. Isobutanol and other non-recommended alcohols (methanol and 1-propanol) were also detected as contaminations. Consumers should be aware that some hand sanitizers available on the Lebanese market are ineffective and include residues of harmful substances.

Authors:   ,   Lebanese American University, Al Sayed Dania
Published: June 2022

Lebanese cannabis is well-known for its high quality and recreational value; yet little is known regarding its medical use. Hyperthyroidism affects approximately 1%-2% of the world population. Limited literature is available on cannabis use on thyroid dysfunction. The present study aims to explore the antithyroid potential of Lebanese cannabis oil extract (COE) use in mice. Male BALB/c mice weighing between 31 and 35 grams were distributed into five groups of 14 mice each; group I served as control and was given a mixture of Ethanol: Cremophor: PBS (1:1:18) administered intra peritoneally (i.p.) for 35 days. To induce hyperthyroidism, group II was given levo- thyroxine (10μg) orally for 35 days; groups III, IV, and V were given levo- thyroxine (10μg) over 14 days and then treated with PTU (0.2mg/kg PO), COE (10mg/kg i.p.), and COE (20mg/kg i.p.), respectively over 21 days. The effect of COE on hyperthyroidism was assessed by measuring FT3, FT4 and TSH levels in mice blood. Mice liver and thyroid morphology was examined, as well. Results show that COE and PTU where equally effective in controlling FT3 levels in mice (P-value <0.001), but PTU was more potent than COE dose I and dose II in abating FT4 levels. Regarding thyroid and liver morphology, the group treated with COE dose II (group V) showed the lowest thyroid weight as compared to other treated groups (III, IV). To note, there was no observed difference in the liver morphology in any of the treated and control groups. In conclusion, the results assured that COE has dose/time dependent effect in lowering FT3 and FT4 thyroid hormones. Further studies are required to acknowledge the mechanism of action of COE antithyroid effect.
THE LAST BASTION OF STATIONARY TRADE IS FALLING - THE EVOLUTION OF THE E-FOOD MARKET IN GERMANY
Authors: Lueg Philipp
Published: June 2022

For a long time, food retailing seemed to be the last stationary bastion in Germany that online retailing has not been able to penetrate. Due to the Corona pandemic, however, even this bastion seems vulnerable. The stationary supremacy of the food retail trade over decades, however, led to the fact that the stationary major players largely ignored the currently strongly growing e-food market, which could already take its revenge today and even more in the next few years, as more and more new, pure-online retailers enter the market and set the market in motion.

In the context of the thesis, the development of the German e-food market since its origin is examined by analyzing the market composition over the years on the basis of the prevailing business models and market participants. For this purpose, all existing e-food business models in Germany were first identified and classified according to their own logic in order to be able to clearly differentiate the individual retailers from each other.

The analysis shows an increasing degree of maturity of the e-food market and the first signs of incipient consolidation and strategic cooperation. These will be pushed even more strongly in the next few years due to strong growth and an enormous density of market participants. Currently, no "winning model" is recognizable. The market is large enough and growing strongly, so that there is currently still room for several different business models.

Published: June 2022

Kredyty frankowe są tematem szeroko dyskutowanym przez społeczeństwo oraz środowiska naukowe - najczęściej z obszarów finansów, prawa i ekonomii. Z upływem lat pojawiają się zarówno nowe problemy związane z już zawartymi umowami, jak i pomysły jak zapobiec podobnym kryzysom w przyszłości. Przyczyną powstania artykułu były rozważania ogólne na temat tego, kto jest odpowiedzialny za frankowy kryzys. Artykuł stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na pytania dotyczące odpowiedzialności banków, które wbrew przepisom ochronnym zawierały z kredytobiorcami umowy zawierające klauzule abuzywne i nie informowały lub w sposób niewystarczająco staranny i rzetelny informowały klientów o warunkach kredytów. Istotnym jest również rozważenie, czy być może to klienci ponoszą odpowiedzialność za zaistniałą sytuację, ponieważ podpisywali umowy, których postanowień nie rozumieli i nie podjęli starań o uzyskanie wyjaśnień w niejasnych kwestiach.

Authors: Zain Nur Adilah Md , Hanafiah Mohd Hafiz , Hamizan Nur Atiqah , Asyraff Muhammad Aliff
Published: June 2022

In the era of COVID-19, travel decisions are influenced by social norms, which is a deciding factor between one’s perception of risk and their travel intention. Moreover, serious safety measures, such as increased aircraft cleaning, social distancing during the boarding process, and the use of face masks are critical factors that influence passengers’ trust in air travel. This study examines the direct effects of safety and preventive measures and social norms on passengers’ trust in travelling with airlines. A total of 210 responses were obtained online. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the study hypotheses. Based on the result, social norms are the most influential predictors of passengers’ trust, followed by safety and preventive measures. Furthermore, the study suggests that media coverage and social circle influence can be critical elements in transferring information to passengers, influencing their decision, and instill trust to travel during the pandemic. Notably, apart from exercising social norms, the airline industry also needs to focus on safety and preventive measures consisting of staff safety practices towards the passenger and new standard operating procedures (SOPs) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study findings assist the airline industry in understanding passengers’ post-pandemic travelling behaviour. Notably, the implementation of health security protocols at airports, supported by the provision of continuous safety information, is indeed an important feature for passengers.

Cultural tourism is critical to the growth of destinations all over the world. Cultural activities and events, as well as existing local historical and cultural assets or cultural capital, shopping, and event attractions, are all believed to play a key role in the nations' cultural and economic development. In the Nepalese context, cultural tourism is widely discussed for the potential development of local and indegenous communities. Thus, the research aims to identify Newari Community’s attitude toward promoting cultural tourism development in Kathmandu Valley. Newari community people from Kathmandu valley were taken as a population, a total of 280 individuals were taken as a sample, and data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The attitude level of Newari people was measured using the attitude index. The Ordered Logistic Model was used to test the factors determining the Newari community's attitude towards promoting cultural tourism development. The result revealed that the Newari community is highly aware of cultural tourism development. Further, regression result shows that monthly income, employment opportunities, a wide variety of cultural activities, developed partnership, pride of local residents, sufficient information, cost of living, a problem with parking or traffic, and household employed in art and cultural activities statistically influence attitude level of Newari community to promote cultural tourism development. Hence, the Newari community should focus on promoting cultural tourism development through conservation, protection, and development of cultural management.

Published: June 2022

Mobile applications (apps) are becoming an essential tool when it comes to sightseeing. There is even a specific category for trips in the leading app stores. These are no strangers to the rise of the itinerant travel style, the caravans. The study aims to understand the situation of the main caravanning apps in Spain. We have carried out a web scraping methodology using a sample of 1,601 Spanish reviews of the main apps related to caravanning. The most interesting findings, among others, are that we are getting to know a sector that up to now was unknown and that even has not been affected by the pandemic crisis. Besides, the paper has demonstrated that developers do not follow the right strategies in caravanning apps. The paper also shows users' most crucial concerns about these apps. Therefore, managers of caravanning apps could improve their strategies by focusing their attention on users' concerns and, most important, reviews to respond.
Labour Migration and Tourism Flows: the Case of the EU
Authors: Přívarová Magdaléna , Martincová Marta , Trnovský Karol , Hačár Dušan
Published: June 2022

During the last decades, the deepening of globalisation has led to an intensification of two forms of international human mobility – tourism and migration. Considering the high proportion of migrant workers in the tourism industry, migration’s possible negative or positive impact on international tourism comes to the forefront. The current article aims to explore the influence of migration, including labour migration, on tourism flows and the impact of tourism flows and migration on the labour market both in donor and host countries. The statistical basis of the analysis was the annual panel data on labour market and tourism indicators for selected EU member states. We have built three panel data econometric models on 17 member states of the European Union on the data from 2005 to 2019. The results suggest that migration and labour migration are significant factors for international tourism and the labour market, with immigration positively impacting both the tourism industry and labour market. At the same time, emigration has a negative effect mainly due to the possible “brain drain” in the donor countries. On the other hand, international tourism has a strong positive influence on the labour market, providing strong evidence for the phenomena of migration-led tourism in the selected member-states of the European Union. Our primary assumption in this regard is that immigration and labour migration contribute to the increase in international tourism arrivals through VFR tourism and cultural enrichment of the destination countries. The current study contributes to the modern research on the interconnections between labour market and tourism. Policy makers can use the results to improve labour market and tourism conditions.

Bu çalışmanın amacı Bitcoin (BTC) fiyat getirileri ile risk iştahı ve BİST100 endeksi arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymaktır. Tüm yatırımcılar için değişim metodu ile hesaplanan RİSE ve BİST100 endeksi bağımsız değişken olarak, Etherum
(ETH), Binance Coin (BNC), Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA) altcoinler temel bileşenler analizine (PCA) tabi tutularak oluşturulan yapay değişken kümesi ise açıklayıcı değişken olarak modele eklenmiştir. Ocak 2018- Aralık 2021 tarihleri
arasındaki haftalık getiriler Çoklu Regresyon Modeli ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda risk iştahı ile bitcoin fiyatları arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığına, buna karşılık Bitcoin fiyatları ile BİST100
endeksi arasında anlamlı ve negatif yönlü ilişki bulunurken; altcoin fiyatları ile anlamlı ve pozitif yönlü bir ilişki olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.

Reducing HIV/AIDS case requires collaboration between institutions. However, many institutions that should be involved in handling it do not even notice they are involved. The impact has been an increased in cases and inconsistencies in prevention and control of HIV/AIDS. Accordingly, this study intends to explore why some agencies do not notice their involvement in HIV/AIDS prevention and control. This research uses a qualitative method with a phenomenology approach due to the reason that the researchers want to comprehend, study in-depth, and elaborate what caused the stakeholders’ loss of consistency in HIV/AIDS prevention and control. The results expose that numerous stakeholders do not notice their agencies are part of the AIDS Commission management because of the following factors: unclear Work System Organization (SOTK), lack of budget availability, and incompatibility of the HIV/AIDS program with the institutions’ strategic planning. Therefore, the consistency of collaboration between stakeholders involved is essential in suppressing HIV/AIDS cases.

Protein and Multivitamin Supplementation in Managing Sarcopenia/Sarcopenic Obesity in the Elderly: A Narrative Review of Literature
Authors: Marques Daniela , Gomes Catarina , Vilares Santos Rosa
Published: June 2022

Sarcopenia may be described as a muscular disease associated with unfavourable outcomes. Sarcopenic obesity refers to the concomitant presence of sarcopenia and obesity. The best approach to these pathologies is still not determined. Our goal was to review the current knowledge regarding nutrition as a therapeutic option in the treatment of these conditions. From a total of 1024 articles obtained from medical databases, nine were included in the narrative review. Supplementation of vitamin D alone was not associated with significant differences. Protein supplements, especially those rich in leucine, have been commonly used in the included studies, with potential benefit in some muscle parameters such as muscle mass. Benefits of supplementation in sarcopenic obesity are less clear. There was significant heterogeneity between the included studies in many parameters. Therefore, clear and valid conclusions are still not possible, however leucine enriched protein supplements might be an interesting option. Further research is needed.
