Artificial Intellect as a Result of Organization Management Technology Evolution
Authors: Belyy A. F.
Published: October 2020

The article studies the process of analogue organization changing at the expense of introducing artificial intellect technologies. In the development of organization management technologies we can distinguish three stages of their evolution: automation, informatization and digitalization. Automation was used in the period of functional management thanks to systems of stock and production capacity planning. Informatization is typical of the process approach to management, for example, on the basis of systems of ERP, CRM, MRPII, etc. class. The current stage of management technology evolution is characterized by introduction of digital platforms, digital doubles, Internet of things, technologies of big data analysis and key technologies, which gives an opportunity to use artificial intellect and transform drastically the system of organization management. The article provides examples of applying technologies of artificial intellect in different spheres of organization work, such as production of autos, trains, electronic components and others, studies advantages and results of their application. The author investigates two contours of digitalization: interaction between the object and subject of management in reality and interaction between digital models of the object and subject of management. It is shown that the key element in contours is synchronization of real and digital models providing homeostasis of the organization as a cybernetic system.

Analyzing and Classifying Ways of Assessing Industrial-Symbiotic Interactions
Authors: Utkina E. E.
Published: October 2020

Searching for solutions, which restrict consumption of resources and exhausts of green-house gases, is essential for providing stable economic growth. Industrial symbiosis turned to be a strong ally in reaching ecological, economic and social goals, which is proved by a rising number of publications on the subject. A higher proliferation of industrial symbiosis was observed in Europe and Asia, especially in China, which is connected with state policy realization. In manufacturing sector contracts of industrial symbiosis were signed not only because of the increasing amount of waste, but due to the possibility to integrate waste and by-products in production cycle. It affected mainly chemical, cement, pulp and paper and steel-making industry and oil-refining plants. In case wastes of other industries are used, not only positive effect for the company is feasible. Wastes are often of lower quality than initial materials, which they substitute for. The article shows how companies can control the waste quality by integrating waste suppliers in operative processes of the company - buyer. The author substantiated that control of the waste quality is the key possibility for industrial symbiosis, especially when companies would like to raise the efficiency of their work in the field.

Authors: Bobkov V. N. , Antipov V. I. , Kolmakov I. B. , Pavlova V. V.
Published: October 2020

Problems in researching the category (universalbasicincome – UBI) were found in a number of publications. Taking into account the idea of the inevitable introduction of UBI system it is necessary to resolve problems in researching options of such systems’ functioning, such as: what can be the source of the income, what can be the UBI value, customer number and therefore, the amount of state expenses. Russia has not got answers to these questions. The article studies problems of introducing models of UBI transitional forms or the so-called conditional basic income (conditionalbasicincome – CBI), having in mind target categories of recipients, limited payment time and its small amount compared with national living minimum. This approach could allow us to develop methodology of calculating options of future UBI systems. The authors substantiate and estimate the concrete model of paying the conditional basic income for the category of unemployed Russian citizens registered in employment centers

Authors: Bouhenna Mustapha M. , Bensouici Chawki , Khattabi Latifa , Chebrouk Farid , Mameri Nabil
Published: October 2020

Background:

Schinus molle L. is a medicinal and aromatic plant widely used in folk
medicine and commonly found in Algeria and the Mediterranean region. In the present work, we investigated
the in vitro antioxidant, anti-cholinesterase, α-glucosidase inhibitory and photoprotective
potentials of the Schinus molle L. plant’s extract/fractions. The metabolite profile of Schinus
molle L. was analyzed using RP-HPLC and GC-MS.

Methods:

The antioxidant activity was assessed using different tests. The anticholinesterase activity
was investigated by quantifying the acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase inhibitory activities.
The antidiabetic activity was investigated by α-glucosidase inhibition test, whereas photoprotective
activity was evaluated by Sun Protection Factor (SPF) using spectrophotometry UV-Vis.
The extracts were then subjected to RP-HPLC–PDA and GC–MS analysis.

Results:

Ethyl acetate and butanol fractions with high contents of total phenolics and flavonoids exhibited
the strongest antioxidant activity. Ethyl acetate extract exhibited considerable enzyme inhibition
potential on acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase and α-glucosidase with percentages
of inhibition of 99.08 ± 0.79%, 100% and 98.80 ± 0.18%, respectively. Furthermore, the ethyl acetate
fraction showed high photoprotective activity with the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) value =
38,26 ± 0.73. Three phenolic acids (gallic, tannic and vanillic acids) and five flavonoids
(myricetin, apigenin, naringenin, rutin and quercetin) were identified with RP-HPLC–PDA.

Conclusion:

These findings suggest that Schinus molle L. may be useful in the development of an
alternative agent for oxidative stress, Alzheimer’s disease, diabetes and could be used as a natural
sunscreen in pharmaceutics or cosmetic formulations.

Authors: Tsarenko Petro M. , Borysova Olena V. , Korkhovyi Vitaly I. , Blume Yaroslav B.
Published: October 2020

Background:

In Ukraine, the research works focused on the study of green microalgae as an alternative source of feedstock for biodiesel production started in 2009. The screening of the Ukrainian Microalgae Culture Collection (IBASU-A) revealed a number of promising strains of species belonging to Chlorella, Chloroidium, Desmodesmus, and Parachlorella (Chlorellaceae and Scenedesmaceae) genera. The main criteria for strain selection were: accumulation of a significant volume of lipids, high kinetic characteristics (specific growth rate and productivity), resistance to stresses and biological contaminations. Some novel algal strains with relevant properties and optimized to the local climatic conditions were also isolated from different regions of Ukraine. Biotechnological studies showed a rather high potential of many of them, especially those of species from Tetradesmus and Desmodesmus (Scenedesmaceae) genera. Recently, some strains of species belonging to Monoraphidium, Raphidocelis, and Selenastrum (Selenastraceae) genera have also been isolated and the search for strains with a high biomass production continued.

Objective:

Moving from an overview of the oleaginous high-efficiency strains present in the largest algal collection in Ukraine (IBASU-A) and a critical analysis of problems related to biodiesel fuel production by microalgae, here we report preliminary data on biomass productivity, lipid amount and fatty acid profiles of some Ukrainian strains of Selenastraceae family.

Methods:

Traditional techniques were used for the isolation of new strains. The study of growth characteristics was carried out under intensive conditions and the daily increase of algal biomass was determined by the gravimetrical method. The data obtained on growth characteristics were compared with those of the well-known producers of biomass. The fatty acid composition in the most promising strains was determined by the gas-liquid chromatography.

Results:

Three new algal strains, M. minutum IBASU-A 574, Monoraphidium sp. IBASU-A 377 and Raphidocelis subcapitata IBASU-A 358, of Selenastraceae, adapted to regional climatic conditions, were isolated from different regions of Ukraine. They showed a higher efficiency in biodiesel production with respect to strains of Chlorellaceae and Scenedesmaceae earlier investigated. The biomass productivity of M. minutum IBASU-A 574, Monoraphidium sp. IBASU-A 377 and Raphidocelis subcapitata IBASU-A 358 was 1.84, 0.84 and 1.32 g DW L-1·day-1, while the lipid contents were 33.65%, 29.43% and 23.14%, respectively. Their fatty acid profiles included mainly C16:0, C18:2 and C18:3, all of interest for biodiesel production.

Conclusion:

The Ukrainian Microalgae Culture Collection has been supplemented with strains of species from family Selenastraceae showing high-efficiency for biodiesel production and adaptation to local environmental conditions.

Authors: Khadibi Maryam , Dehghan Mahlagha , Ghaedi-Heidari Fatemeh , Mokhtarabadi Sima
Published: October 2020

Aim:

Some evidence shows an increased utilization of complementary and alternative medicine for infertility
treatment, although little information is available to measure this phenomenon in infertile women. Hence, this study aimed
to assess the application of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) techniques on infertile women.

Materials and methods:

This study was cross-sectional. Infertile women referred to the only center of infertility in Kerman,
Iran were selected using convenience sampling. In total,144 participants were assessed. Data were collected using a twopart researcher-made questionnaire and they were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics [chi-square test and
logistic regression] with SPSS version 18.

Results:

56.3% of participants in the present study used at least one of the CAM methods in the past year.. The multivariate
logistic regression showed a significant correlation only between education and CAM users/non-users.

Conclusions:

According to the results, almost one third of infertile women used CAM to treat their infertility indicating
high prevalence of CAM usage among infertile women. Therefore, health care providers must pay more attention for infertility treatment to reduce the treatment interactions and increase the quality of care.Keywords: Complementary Therapies,

A Study About the Impact of Weather, Life Expectancy and Tourism on the Transmission of COVID-19
Authors: Bishnoi Pardeep , Kumar Prabhat , Singh Abhijeet , Sahu Mukesh Kumar , Bansal Vikrant
Published: October 2020

Background:

Today, the world is facing COVID-19 mutant, which was declared as a
pandemic disease by the World Health Organization. COVID- 19 has spread rapidly to 203 countries
and up to 31st March 2020, 36405 people had lost their lives. We aimed to study the impact of
three parameters, i.e., weather, life expectancy, and travel, either due to tourism or business purposes
on the transmission of the COVID-19.

Methods:

The data of infected cases and deaths of different countries and territories related to the
2019-nCoV are studied. These data are collected from the situation reports issued by WHO.

Results:

The Temperature-Time trajectory shows that the dissemination of coronavirus has a high
tendency in cold climate countries. Most of the cases are observed in the temperature range of 40°F
to 60°F. Also, we analyzed the dependence of 2019-nCoV transmission and death cases on life expectancy.
Most of the cases related to COVID-19 in the entire world were adult and old patients.
The global connectivity between China as a “Manufacturing Hub” and other counties also plays a
vital role in the transmission of COVID-19.

Conclusions:

The spread pattern of COVID-19 cases is in good agreement with our study, but this
does not mean that it will not spread in warm areas. The precautionary measure provided by WHO
and health departments of various countries should be followed to slow down the transmission rate
of COVID-19.
Possible Benefits of Reformulating Antiviral Drugs with Nanoemulsion System in the Treatment of Novel Coronavirus Infection
Authors: Kumar Manish , Jain Chandra Prakash
Published: October 2020

Background:

An outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus
2) infection or COVID 19 has caused serious threats to all around the world. Until an effective and safe
vaccine for novel coronavirus is developed by scientists, current drug therapy should be optimized for
the control and treatment of COVID 19.

Objective:

In this manuscript, we present a perspective on possible benefits of reformulating antiviral
drug dosage form with nanoemulsion system against novel coronavirus infection.

Methods:

Literature review has been done on COVID 19, treatment strategies, novel drug delivery systems
and the role of pulmonary surfactant in lung protection.

Results:

Nanoemulsion system and its components have certain biophysical properties which could increase
the efficacy of drug therapy. Antiviral drugs, delivered through a nanoemulsion system containing
P-gp inhibitor (surfactant and co-solvent), can minimize the cellular resistance to drugs and would
potentiate the antiviral action of drugs. Pulmonary Surfactant (PS) assisted antiviral drug delivery by
nanoemulsion system could be another effective approach for the treatment of COVID 19. The use of
functional excipients like Pulmonary Surfactant (PS) and Surfactant Proteins (SPs) in the formulation of
the antiviral drug-loaded nanoemulsion system can improve the treatment of coronavirus infection.

Conclusion:

In our opinion, for synergizing antiviral action, lipid and protein portion of PS and their
commercial analogs should be explored by pharmaceutical scientists to use them as a functional excipient
in the formulation of antiviral drug-loaded nanoemulsion system.
New Organic Chemistry and Materials Science of Curved π-Conjugated Molecules
Authors: Yamago Shigeru
Published: October 2020

A key molecule in a number of functional materials is the π-conjugated molecule because of the impressive range of properties, including light absorption and emission, as well as charge transportation. Often used as active components of organic electronic and photoelectronic materials
and sensors, they have attracted a great deal of attention from the research community for these valuable properties that have considerable potential for commercialisation. A variety of new π-conjugated molecules have been designed and synthesised, from smaller molecules to macromolecules
(polymers). Professor Shigeru Yamago, from the Institute for Chemical Research at Kyoto University, is an expert in the field of radical chemistry, and heads up a research team that has developed a new and efficient method for synthesising structurally uniform curved and hooped π-conjugated
molecules. Yamago and his team are seeking to clarify how the structure of these molecules affects their physical properties and reactivities. They hope to eventually find applications for them as organoelectronic and organophotoelectronic materials, sensors and other devices in materials
science.
Development of electronic circuits that can operate in high radiation environments such as nuclear power plants
Authors: Takakura Kenichiro
Published: October 2020

Robots can play a vital role in disaster rescue, relief and recovery. These versatile machines can perform tasks humans cannot and can enter into dangerous environments otherwise inaccessible to human workers. However, they are not invincible and there are still some situations where
robots and the electronic components they're made of fail. By studying the limits of electronics in these extreme scenarios though, better components can be developed and deployed on robots; keeping these invaluable workers online in the most dangerous and urgent of situations. The ongoing
decommissioning work at the devastated Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is an example of this. The earthquake that destroyed the plant happened nearly 11 years ago, yet the clean-up at Fukushima is still ongoing. Long term efforts are needed in order to resolve the issues such as decontamination
of the scattered radioactive materials, contaminated water, and decommissioning of the nuclear reactor itself. Associate Professor Kenichiro Takakura, from the Electronics Materials and Devices Research Group at the National Institute of Technology (KOSEN), Kumamoto College, is carrying out
research to develop electronic equipment that can be used in a nuclear reactor to assist with the early completion of decommissioning.
Introduction of research on sustainable and environmentally friendly wood-based materials
Authors: Umemura Kenji
Published: October 2020

Wood-based materials are used for construction and furniture etc. The demand is expected to increase due to population growth and economic development. Wood-based materials are considered as sustainable material because wood is the main raw material. However, adhesives are indispensable
when manufacturing those, and almost wood adhesives are made from chemicals derived from fossil resources. In recent years, breaking away from dependence on fossil resources has become an important global issue. One of the purposes of this work is to develop bio-based adhesives with simple
preparation, low dependence of fossil resources and high adhesiveness. Novel bio-based adhesives using citric acid and/or sucrose are being researched. On the other hand, considering significant decrease of global forest area, alternative raw components for wood-based materials is desperately
needed in the future. Un-utilized lignocellulosic biomass such as agricultural wastes would be promising for these. The utilization of agricultural wastes also contributes to carbon fixation of lignocellulosic biomass. Now, researchers at the Laboratory of Sustainable Materials are interested
in developing new wood-based materials that combine agricultural wastes with bio-based adhesives. These efforts will make wood-based materials more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Authors: Муслимов А.Э. , Тарасов А.П. , Исмаилов А.М. , Каневский В.М.
Published: October 2020

Luminescent properties of ZnO films grown on R-plane sapphire coated with a buffer layer of gold nanoislands were studied. Luminescence spectra of the samples show a set of oscillations resulted from classical thin-film interference. Such a set of oscillations can be represented as a barcode with each bar position corresponding to the wavelength of each oscillation and bar width corresponding to the oscillation intensity. High repeatability and simplicity of production of such ZnO-based thin-film structures together with high sensitivity of interference phenomena to the ambient environment make them prospective for different chemo- and biosensing applications.

Температурная зависимость автоволнового механизма пластического течения
Authors: Зуев Л.Б. , Колосов С.В. , Баранникова С.А. , Никонова А.М.
Published: October 2020

The behavior of the localized plastic flow autowaves characteristics is considered in the Fe-Ni-Cr alloy for the temperature range from 143 K to 420 K (420 K is the Debye temperature). It is shown that the multiplication of the autowave length and the velocity of its propagation, in the specified interval, decreases with temperature. At the same time, the ratio of this value to the viscosity of the phonon gas in the metal in the investigated temperature range remains practically constant. This indicates that the elastic-plastic invariant of deformation is independent of temperature.

Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND

While transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has revolutionized the treatment of aortic valve stenosis, wearable health-monitoring devices are gradually transforming digital patient care.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to develop a simple, efficient, and economical method for preprocedural frailty assessment based on parameters measured by a wearable health-monitoring device.

METHODS

In this prospective study, we analyzed data of 50 consecutive patients with mean (SD) age of 77.5 (5.1) years and a median (IQR) European system for cardiac operative risk evaluation (EuroSCORE) II of 3.3 (4.1) undergoing either transfemoral or transapical TAVR between 2017 and 2018. Every patient was fitted with a wrist-worn health-monitoring device (Garmin Vivosmart 3) for 1 week prior to the procedure. Twenty different parameters were measured, and threshold levels for the 3 most predictive categories (ie, step count, heart rate, and preprocedural stress) were calculated. Patients were assigned 1 point per category for exceeding the cut-off value and were then classified into 4 stages (no, borderline, moderate, and severe frailty). Furthermore, the FItness-tracker assisted Frailty-Assessment Score (FIFA score) was compared with the scores of the preprocedural gait speed category derived from the 6-minute walk test (GSC-6MWT) and the Edmonton Frail Scale classification (EFS-C). The primary study endpoint was hospital mortality.

RESULTS

The overall preprocedural stress level (P=.02), minutes of high stress per day (P=.02), minutes of rest per day (P=.045), and daily heart rate maximum (P=.048) as single parameters were the strongest predictors of hospital mortality. When comparing the different frailty scores, the FIFA score demonstrated the greatest predictive power for hospital mortality (FIFA area under the curve [AUC] 0.844, CI 0.656-1.000; P=.048; GSC-6MWT AUC 0.671, CI 0.487-0.855; P=.42; EFS-C AUC 0.636, CI 0.254-1.000; P=.44).

CONCLUSIONS

This proof-of-concept study demonstrates the strong predictive performance of the FIFA score compared to that of the conventional frailty assessments.

Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important for wheelchair users’ well-being, as it can have a major impact on their daily functioning. Mobile health (mHealth) apps can support a healthy lifestyle; however, these apps are not necessarily suitable for wheelchair users with spinal cord injury or lower limb amputation. Therefore, a new mHealth app (WHEELS) was developed to promote a healthy lifestyle for this population.

OBJECTIVE

The objectives of this study were to develop the WHEELS mHealth app, and explore its usability, feasibility, and effectiveness.

METHODS

The WHEELS app was developed using the intervention mapping framework. Intervention goals were determined based on a needs assessment, after which behavior change strategies were selected to achieve these goals. These were applied in an app that was pretested on ease of use and satisfaction, followed by minor adjustments. Subsequently, a 12-week pre-post pilot study was performed to explore usability, feasibility, and effectiveness of the app. Participants received either a remote-guided or stand-alone intervention. Responses to semistructured interviews were analyzed using content analysis, and questionnaires (System Usability Score [SUS], and Usefulness, Satisfaction, and Ease) were administered to investigate usability and feasibility. Effectiveness was determined by measuring outcomes on physical activity, nutrition, sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), body composition, and other secondary outcomes pre and post intervention, and by calculating effect sizes (Hedges g).

RESULTS

Sixteen behavior change strategies were built into an app to change the physical activity, dietary, sleep, and relaxation behaviors of wheelchair users. Of the 21 participants included in the pilot study, 14 participants completed the study. The interviews and questionnaires showed a varied user experience. Participants scored a mean of 58.6 (SD 25.2) on the SUS questionnaire, 5.4 (SD 3.1) on ease of use, 5.2 (SD 3.1) on satisfaction, and 5.9 (3.7) on ease of learning. Positive developments in body composition were found on waist circumference (P=.02, g=0.76), fat mass percentage (P=.004, g=0.97), and fat-free mass percentage (P=.004, g=0.97). Positive trends were found in body mass (P=.09, g=0.49), BMI (P=.07, g=0.53), daily grams of fat consumed (P=.07, g=0.56), and sleep quality score (P=.06, g=0.57).

CONCLUSIONS

The WHEELS mHealth app was successfully developed. The interview outcomes and usability scores are reasonable. Although there is room for improvement, the current app showed promising results and seems feasible to deploy on a larger scale.

COVID-19 is having major repercussions for children and adolescents’ mental health and well-being.Children and youth who are low-income, marginally housed, and in the throes of trauma and/or abuse are particularly vulnerable, as the public safety net upon which they rely was unable to address a documented mental health crisis that existed well before the pandemic. current efforts to provide laptops and internet hotspots for distance learning during COVID-19 offers an opportunity to connect more children to their mental health providers post-pandemic.
Characterizing the Anticancer Treatment Trajectory and Pattern in Patients Receiving Chemotherapy for Cancer Using Harmonized Observational Databases: Retrospective Study (Preprint)
Authors: Jeon Hokyun , You Seng Chan , Kang Seok Yun , Seo Seung In , Warner Jeremy L , Belenkaya Rimma , Park Rae Woong
Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND

Accurate and rapid clinical decisions based on real-world evidence are essential for patients with cancer. However, the complexity of chemotherapy regimens for cancer impedes retrospective research that uses observational health databases.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to compare the anticancer treatment trajectories and patterns of clinical events according to regimen type using the chemotherapy episodes determined by an algorithm.

METHODS

We developed an algorithm to extract the regimen-level abstracted chemotherapy episodes from medication records in a conventional Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) common data model (CDM) database. The algorithm was validated on the Ajou University School Of Medicine (AUSOM) database by manual review of clinical notes. Using the algorithm, we extracted episodes of chemotherapy from patients in the EHR database and the claims database. We also developed an application software for visualizing the chemotherapy treatment patterns based on the treatment episodes in the OMOP-CDM database. Using this software, we generated the trends in the types of regimen used in the institutions, the patterns of the iterative chemotherapy use, and the trajectories of cancer treatment in two EHR-based OMOP-CDM databases. As a pilot study, the time of onset of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia according to regimen was measured using the AUSOM database. The anticancer treatment trajectories for patients with COVID-19 were also visualized based on the nationwide claims database.

RESULTS

We generated 178,360 treatment episodes for patients with colorectal, breast, and lung cancer for 85 different regimens. The algorithm precisely identified the type of chemotherapy regimen in 400 patients (average positive predictive value >98%). The trends in the use of routine clinical chemotherapy regimens from 2008-2018 were identified for 8236 patients. For a total of 12 regimens (those administered to the largest proportion of patients), the number of repeated treatments was concordant with the protocols for standard chemotherapy regimens for certain cases. In addition, the anticancer treatment trajectories for 8315 patients were shown, including 62 patients with COVID-19. A comparative analysis of neutropenia showed that its onset in colorectal cancer regimens tended to cluster between days 9-15, whereas it tended to cluster between days 2-8 for certain regimens for breast cancer or lung cancer.

CONCLUSIONS

We propose a method for generating chemotherapy episodes for introduction into the oncology extension module of the OMOP-CDM databases. These proof-of-concept studies demonstrated the usability, scalability, and interoperability of the proposed framework through a distributed research network.

AbstractWildlife crimes committed by corporations cannot be charged with Act No. 5 of 1990 concerning The Conservation of Biodiversity and Its Ecosystem, because this Act does not regulate it. This research is a normative study by examining crimes that are formulated in laws whose mode is reasonably suspected of involving corporations. Crimes committed by corporations will have a major impact on the balance of the ecosystem, so it is very important to accommodate corporate criminal liability in a special law on conservation. The regulation of corporate criminal liability includes who is called a corporation, who can be sentenced to crime, what types of sanctions are appropriate for the corporation so that it will have a deterrent effectIntisariKejahatan satwa liar yang dilakukan oleh korporasi tidak dapat dijerat dengan Undang-Undang No. 5 Tahun 1990 tentang Konservasi Keanekaragaman Hayati dan Ekosistemnya (UUKH), karena UUKH tidak mengaturnya. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian normative dengan mengkaji kejahatan yang dirumuskan dalam undang-undang yang modusnya patut diduga melibatkan korporasi. Kejahatan yang dilakukan korporasi akan menimbulkan dampak yang besar terhadap keseimbangan ekosistem, sehingga sangatlah penting untuk mengakomodasi pertanggungjawaban pidana korporasi dalam sebuah undang-undang khusus mengenai konservasi. Pengaturan pertanggungjawaban pidana korporasi meliputi siapa yang disebut sebagai korporasi, siapa saja yang dapat dijatuhi pidana, jenis sanksi apa yang tepat untuk korporasi sehingga akan menimbulkan efek jera.

The share of the main types of agricultural machinery with a service life of more than 10 years in the total volume of equipment remains high. The maintenance the performance of machinery and equipment are performed mainly by repair and restoration processes. In recent years, there used a 3D-scanning technology in the repair of machines. (Research purpose) The research purpose is in searching for the possibility of using 3D-scanning technologies in the repair of equipment based on the analysis of information materials. (Materials and methods) Authors used open information sources from various scientific and educational organizations for analysis. The great attention has been paid to the analysis of 3D-scanning technologies presented at various international specialized exhibitions. It was found that various laser scanners have been developed and used for 3D-scanning, mainly for quality control of parts manufacturing. It was also found that they can be used to control the geometric, physical and mechanical parameters of agricultural machinery parts during the input control of spare parts and repair of machines. (Results and discussion) It has been found that 3D-scanning improves the accuracy and performance of measurements in comparison with contact devices. The article notes that the use of 3D-scanning in convergent modeling technologies and in additive manufacturing is becoming a modern trend in mechanical engineering. (Conclusions) A promising direction for the introduction of 3D-technologies in repair production is the integrated use of additive technologies and 3D-scanning; when parts are defective after disassembly of the repaired units, the machine uses a 3D-scanner to determine the wear, and a 3D-printer to restore the worn surface, taking into account the uneven wear. The advantages of this repair technology include increasing the accuracy of measurement, reducing the range of measurement tools used, and the ability to restore parts of complex geometric shapes. Spot application of a layer of additive material to the wear site reduces material consumption by 20-90 percent.
Probing nonclassicality with matrices of phase-space distributions
Authors: Bohmann Martin , Agudelo Elizabeth , Sperling Jan
Published: October 2020

We devise a method to certify nonclassical features via correlations of phase-space distributions by unifying the notions of quasiprobabilities and matrices of correlation functions. Our approach complements and extends recent results that were based on Chebyshev's integral inequality \cite{BA19}. The method developed here correlates arbitrary phase-space functions at arbitrary points in phase space, including multimode scenarios and higher-order correlations. Furthermore, our approach provides necessary and sufficient nonclassicality criteria, applies to phase-space functions beyonds-parametrized ones, and is accessible in experiments. To demonstrate the power of our technique, the quantum characteristics of discrete- and continuous-variable, single- and multimode, as well as pure and mixed states are certified only employing second-order correlations and Husimi functions, which always resemble a classical probability distribution. Moreover, nonlinear generalizations of our approach are studied. Therefore, a versatile and broadly applicable framework is devised to uncover quantum properties in terms of matrices of phase-space distributions.

O objetivo do artigo é estudar sobre a importância da apuração e checagem jornalística para o combate a desinformação durante a pandemia do coronavírus e contribuir com a discussão sobre fake news a partir do estudo de cinco peças de desinformação que circularam no Brasil em março de 2020. As peças estudadas foram escolhidas a partir da leitura da reportagem Epidemia de Fake News, noticiada na Agência Pública, pois essas foram consideradas receitas milagrosas ou teorias da conspiração de grande circulação nas redes sociais. Os sites de checagem consultados para verificação desse material foram Fato ou Fake (G1), Aos Fatos (Agência de checagem), Lupa (Folha de S. Paulo). Diante disso, o corpus de análise se organiza no estudo das seguintes peças: 1) o coronavírus foi criado em laboratório pela China para obter ganhos econômicos, 2) o vírus fica de 3 a 4 dias na garganta e pode ser eliminado com água e chá quente, 3) Cuba desenvolveu uma vacina, 4) o vírus é fraco e não resiste ao calor, e por fim, 5) Nostradamus previu o surto de coronavírus em 1555. O referencial bibliográfico se baseia nos estudos de Bill Kovach e Tom Rosenstiel (2004), Jean Charron e Jean de Bonville (2016), Mar Fontcuberta (2006), entre outros.
Todas as cores da escuridão

Este artigo tem como objetivo demonstrar como o cinema Giallo se utilizou da técnica tenebrista de Caravaggio em alguns de seus momentos narrativos. Para sustentar tal ponto, o texto introduz a definição de tenebrismo a partir de Arquillo-Avilés e Torres (2011), priorizando a visão da arte barroca em Weisbach (1948), bem como na análise de Schütze (2017) da obra de Caravaggio. Do mesmo modo, o artigo parte das considerações de Koven (2006) sobre o Giallo como um cinema vernacular, para pensar como algumas opções estéticas ajudaram a moldar momentos narrativos dessas obras. Por fim, o trabalho busca definir algumas coordenadas básicas a partir de excertos de variados filmes do ciclo para se pensar o que seria um Giallo tenebrista.
Resistência ao discurso político e midiático hegemônico
Authors: Ferraz Nivaldo
Published: October 2020

O artigo demonstra a necessidade de luta por coletivos para tornar cidadãos tanto os membros de populações vulneráveis em territórios sem apoio social do Estado, quanto os imigrantes de outros países em condição pior que o nosso. Nesse particular a compreensão do conceito de “culturas híbridas” é necessária. Essa busca por cidadania passa pela posse do território através da narrativa de sua condição e seus acontecimentos. Dessa forma, evidencia a constituição de uma mídia “contra-hegemônica” para combater o discurso oficial da mídia hegemônica, quando ela prioriza versões oficiais e não ouve as vítimas de abusos de autoridades contra pobres, pretos, párias sociais que vivem em locais de vulnerabilidade e com acesso precário a serviços sociais. O artigo demonstra os trabalhos de inclusão no conjunto da “Favela da Maré”, na “Casa do Povo”, do coletivo “Si, Yo Puedo!” e do portal de reportagens em defesa dos Direitos Humanos “Ponte Jornalismo”.
