The Predatory Journal: Victimizer or Victim?
Authors: Gill Grandon
Published: June 2021

Aim/Purpose: Labeling a journal as “predatory” can do great damage to the journal and the individuals that have contributed to it. This paper considers whether the predatory classification has outlived its usefulness and what might replace it.

Background: With the advent of open access publishing, the term “predatory” has increasingly been used to identify academic journals, conferences, and publishers whose practices are driven by profit or self-interest rather than the advancement of science. Absent clear standards for determining what is predatory and what is not, concerns have been raised about the misuse of the label.

Methodology: Mixed methods: A brief review of the literature, some illustrative case studies, and conceptual analysis.

Contribution: The paper provides recommendations for reducing the impact of illegitimate journals.

Findings: Current predatory classifications are being assigned with little or no systematic research and virtually no accountability. The predatory/not predatory distinction does not accommodate alternative journal missions.

Recommendations for Researchers: The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate journals requires consideration of each journal’s mission. To serve as a useful guide, a process akin to that used for accrediting institutions needs to be put in place.

Impact on Society: Avoiding unnecessary damage to the careers of researchers starting out.

Future Research: Refining the initial classification scheme proposed in the paper.
Endocannabinoidome and its role in neurological disorders-A comprehensive update of existing literature
Authors: Dutta Rajib
Published: June 2021

Medical benefits of cannabis and related compounds is widely known. Discovery of psychotropic plant cannabinoid Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol have urged researchers to study more about the cannabinoid system and related therapeutics in the field of neurology and medicine. Where activation of cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R) yielded in unwanted and serious side effects, discovery of cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) and its ligands gave a new hope. Till now there is limited success in this field because of complex expanded endocannabinoid system comprising of receptors, ligands and enzymes. In this review we will update about the role of endocannabinoidome relevant to neurological disorders.
Differential diagnosis of POLG related disorders: What to keep in mind when multiorgan system is involved?
Authors: Rajib Dutta
Published: June 2021

Mitochondrial and lysosomal dysfunction accounts for a large group of inherited metabolic disorders most of which are due to a dysfunctional mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) leading to deficient energy production and defects in phagocytosis in endosomal-lysosomal pathway respectively. MRC function depends on the coordinated expression of both nuclear (nDNA) and mitochondrial (mtDNA) genomes. Thus, mitochondrial diseases can be caused by genetic defects in either the mitochondrial or the nuclear genome, or in the cross-talk between the two. The mitochondrial DNA depletion syndromes (MDSs) are a clinically heterogeneous group of disorders with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance that have onset in infancy or early childhood and are characterized by a reduced number of copies of mtDNA in affected tissues and organs. In this review article, we summarized the spectrum of mtDNA depletion disorders along with minor learning of lysosomal storage diseases. This current article offers a perspective on the role of genetics in medical practice and how this role may evolve over the next several years.

Published: June 2021

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a frequently addressed topic in primary care. Recent studies have been published detailing modifiable risk factors for CRC, as well as preventative measures. Providers must be up to date on screening recommendations and modalities. Colonoscopy is the preferred method of screening for CRC, and the screening recommendations in the United States were recently updated in 2020. It is also common for the practitioner to encounter patients who refuse colonoscopy but are willing to undergo alternative methods of testing. The COVID pandemic has also placed a burden on hospital resources, and colonoscopy may not be logistically feasible in some healthcare settings. Therefore, awareness of the guidelines for the various alternative modalities, along with their respective guidelines for frequency of screening is critical. This article provides a brief review of the risk factors associated with colon cancer, the screening modalities (including colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, CT colonography, fecal immunohistochemical testing (FIT), guaiac-based fecal occult blood testing (gFOBT), multi target stool DNA testing (MTs-DNA), and others) and the most recent screening recommendations for the general population.

Authors: Ibáñez Domingo Mélanie
Published: June 2021

El objetivo del presente texto es profundizar en las especificidades de la represión franquista cuando esta se ejerció contra las mujeres. En concreto, incidir en las particularidades de una modalidad que a priori no realizaba una distinción en clave de género: la Ley de Responsabilidades Políticas, eje de la represión económica de posguerra. Por un lado, se recoge el porcentaje de encausadas en relación al impacto total en diferentes provincias, tratando de ofrecer claves explicativas. Igualmente, se plantea el problema de las cifras y la existencia de otras víctimas de la represión económica más difíciles de contabilizar. Finalmente, se reflexiona en torno a las particularidades de estos procedimientos cuando eran incoados contra mujeres.

Pleito de inmediación y administración del mayorazgo. María Díaz de Florencia, ¿mujer fuerte o demente?
Authors: Melero Muñoz Isabel María
Published: June 2021

En los siglos modernos, la relevancia socioeconómica de los mayorazgos provocó altos niveles de conflictividad en las familias nobiliarias por la sucesión de los mismos. Pero estos no fueron los únicos conflictos que envolvieron a la institución. Fueron frecuentes los pleitos protagonizados por el inmediato sucesor que reclamaba la posesión del mayorazgo, denunciando la deficiente administración del poseedor actual, lo que provocaba la disipación de los bienes vinculados. El análisis de esta tipología conflictual refleja cómo se ponían en funcionamiento los mecanismos legales en aras de proteger los bienes vinculados y, además, pone de manifiesto el deseo e interés de poseer el mayorazgo incluso para aquellos sucesores a los que todavía no les había llegado el momento. En este trabajo analizaremos este tipo de conflicto, que adquiere especial relevancia cuando tenemos como protagonista a un hombre que denunciaba a la poseedora del mayorazgo, una mujer fuerte, acusada de padecer locura demencial y de menoscabar los bienes vinculados.

Published: June 2021

A disponibilidade hídrica apresenta-se como um dos elementos climáticos que mais afetam o desenvolvimento e a produtividade da soja e o uso de hidrogel pode promover maior produção da soja em períodos com déficit hídrico. Avaliou-se os efeitos de concentrações de hidrogel aplicado na semeadura sobre componentes de rendimento e produtividade da soja tolerante e não tolerante ao déficit hídrico.  O experimento foi conduzido durante a safra de 2018/19. Utilizou-se as cultivares de soja BS2606IPRO e Nidera 5909 RG, correspondendo respectivamente aos genótipos tolerante e não tolerante ao déficit hídrico. O experimento seguiu o delineamento em blocos ao acaso com quatro repetições. Testou-se as concentrações de 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 e 50 kg ha-1 de hidrogel. Ao final do ciclo quantificou-se número de plantas por hectare, número de vagens por planta, número de grãos por vagem, peso de mil grãos e a produtividade. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias a analise de regressão. Para a cultivar tolerante ao déficit hídrico não houve efeitos significativos com o uso do hidrogel (p> 0,05). Para a cultivar não tolerante, concentrações iguais ou superiores a 10 kg ha-1 de hidrogel incrementa a produtividade e a massa de grãos.
Robert Jungks „Sanfter Tourismus“ und die Motive der Landlebendichtung
Authors: Heller Jakob Christoph
Published: June 2021

The article argues that ‘gentle tourism’ in particular shares similarities with the idyll. The term made popular by Robert Jungk in 1980 describes an autonomous kind of tourism that considers ecological and economical questions alike. It derives – thus the thesis of the article – its motifs from a subgenre of the idyll: German ‘Landlebendichtung’ (laus ruris). The analyses of the paradigmatic texts Das Landleben by Ewald von Kleist and Salomon Gesner’s Der Wunsch outline the characteristics of the genre at which core one can find the binary opposition of urban and rural forms of life.
THE CONCEPT OF THE CLUTCH CONTROL LAW OF A CAR
Authors: Mykhalevych Mykola , Fandieieva Alina
Published: June 2021

Problem. The combination of comfortable automatic control of the car's transmission and at the same time preservation of high indicators of energy efficiency and cost of a design is possible by use of automatic mechanical transmission. The automatic clutch control system plays a significant role in providing comfort in such transmissions. The laws of controlling it are not perfect today. Goal. The aim of the work is to create a clear concept of the law of clutch control, which is easy to implement in a microcontroller and is well adapted to adapt to different driving conditions. Methodology. Graphically, the concept of the perspective law of clutch control is formed by two Bezier curves. One of the curves acts as a guide, and the other forms the surface of the law. Results. On the basis of the Bézier curves of the third degree the concept of the law is formed and the connection of the reference points of the Bézier curves with the physical parameters of the working process of vehicle movement is substantiated. Originality. The formation of the Bézier curve, which is decisive for the concept of the law, is formed on the basis of a typical working process of synchronization of the angular velocity of the clutch discs during the movement of the vehicle. In contrast to the laws of clutch control considered in the scientific literature, the proposed concept provides for clutch control outside the site of the synchronization process and ensures the avoidance of jerks during further acceleration. Practical value. The proposed algorithm provides full engagement of the clutch only after full synchronization of the clutch discs. The formation of a special form of the law in the form of a curve tangent to the abscissa axis reduces the jerks when closing the clutch discs.

Published: June 2021

Problem. Currently, there exist two main types of service on public transport routes – headway-based and timetable-based. They differ by the frequency of service at the stops and by the information available for passengers. The required frequency of service significantly affects transport operator costs and passenger travel time which, in turn, influences the cost for a passenger. One of the ways to reduce costs for both parties of the transportation process is to make a reasonable choice of the type of service or switch between the types during the day depending on the passenger flow volume. Goal. In the paper, to justify the choice of between the types of service, the cost of public transport vehicles operation and the losses of passenger travel times are taken into account. Methodology. The developed way of making a choice about the type of service allows increasing the efficiency of urban public transport due to reducing the passenger waiting time by switching from the headway-based service in rush hours to timetable-based service in the periods of passenger flow volume decline. Results. The relationship allowing making a decision about the type of service on the route is developed. It allows to correctly introduce the type of service which will ensure the balance between the transport operator and passenger costs. Originality. The developed approach to make a decision on the type of service allows reducing the passenger waiting time by switching from headway-based service in rush hours to the timetable-based service in the periods of decline in passenger flow volume during the day. Practical value. The results of the research based on the survey data allowed estimating the numerical value of the headway at which it is expedient to switch to the timetable-based service.

Published: June 2021

At trenchless laying of engineering communications in soil the method of static puncture has received wide application at formation of a well. Power plants that implement it have small dimensions, which make them more effective in laying distribution engineering networks in tight urban conditions. Problem. The main disadvantages of the method are the low accuracy of the trajectory and the significant stress in the soil after its compaction, which can lead to the destruction of adjacent underground objects. The first disadvantage is solved by controlling the trajectory of the soil-piercing working body. To solve the second question, it is necessary to know and take into account the specifics of the formation of communication cavities in the soil with an asymmetric tip, which is used for this purpose. Goal. The aim of the work is to establish the regularity of the process of soil puncture by the soil-piercing working body with an asymmetric tip in the form of a cylinder cut at an angle. Methodology. The approaches adopted in the work to solve this goal are based on the theories of deep soil cutting, scientific foundations of soil mechanics, their normative physical and mechanical properties and the law of conservation of soil mass before and after compaction. Results. The calculated dependences for determining the size of the destructive zone from the elastic-plastic deformation of the soil during its puncture by an asymmetric tip with a frontal surface in the form of a beveled cylinder and the pressure of the deformed soil on underground objects are obtained. It is established that the maximum size of the destruction zone and its pressure on underground objects will occur in solid sand. With a tip diameter of 0.3 m, their values can reach 5 m and 0.245 MPa, respectively. Originality. The obtained regularities of soil puncture by a working body with an asymmetric tip in the form of a beveled cylinder made it possible to get an idea of the influence of its deformed state on adjacent communications depending on geometric parameters of the tip and physical and mechanical properties of soils. Practical value. The obtained results can be recommended in the design and determination of technological capabilities of installations for static soil puncture.

Application of semantic models and criteria equivalence of data to increase efficiency func-tioning of economic systems
Authors: Pliekhova Ganna , Alisejko Olena , Kochuieva Zoia
Published: June 2021

Problem. In modern society, the role of modeling as a way of cognizing objects with complex structures is growing. The problem of development of models and criteria of semantic equivalence of data under the condition of their lexical ambiguity in relation to relational databases is considered. This is due to the impossibility or undesirability of conducting an experiment on real objects. Modeling was initially applied in "well" studied subject areas (for which the basic laws of object interaction were already known. This knowledge made it possible to set a priori the class of used models of the subject area and reduce the task to setting the model parameters according to the available experimental data. A fundamental change in the modeling scheme occurred during the transition to the development of modeling systems for "weakly" formalized subject areas, where the structure itself and the class of applicable models must be refined in the course of research. The widespread use of relational DB and their use in a wide variety of applications shows that the relational data model is sufficient for modeling domains. Results. The purpose of developing criteria is to prevent relational algebra operations on attributes with lexical and semantic ambiguity. Methods of developing methods and criteria are based on the use of mathematical methods and the use of modern information technology. The scientific novelty is to solve the problem of semantic comparability of relational relations attributes by means of relational model, which allows to effectively solve problems of prevention of relational algebra operations, which lead to data destruction due to ambiguity of lexical and semantic meanings of attribute names. The practical significance lies in the development of methods for organizing access to data in large subject areas, which together with the degree of efficiency of their processing serve as the foundation of the modern information industry and normalizes the vocabulary of subject area description and coordination of management tasks within a single approach.
Mathematical model for estimation the stability of the vehicle's motion on overturning
Authors: Povaliaiev Serhii , Saraiev Olexii
Published: June 2021

Problem. During the reconstruction of the circumstances of road traffic accidents with vehicles overturning, difficulties arise with determining the parameters of vehicles in the process of their overturning. This is due to the fact that the recommended calculation methods are often simplified. The main focus of such techniques is to determine the minimum speed of vehicles, which leads to their overturning. In fact, the speed of vehicles before overturning can be significantly higher. Goal. This paper is dedicated to developing mathematical model of overturning vehicles that makes possible to determine not only the conditions for overturning vehicles, but also other parameters of the vehicle movement in the process of overturning. Methodology. The overturning of the vehicle occurs as a result of the action of inertial forces after collision with an immovable side obstacle. In this case, the moment from the force of gravity of the vehicle keeps it from overturning. In the process of overturning the vehicle, the moment from the force of gravity decreases due to the decrease in the arm of the force of gravity. To compile a mathematical model, the basic equation of dynamics during rotational motion was used. The mathematical model of a vehicle overturning is written in the form of a nonlinear homogeneous second order differential equation. An analytical solution of this equation is obtained. Results. Developed mathematical model makes possible to determine not only the conditions for overturning vehicles, but also other parameters of the vehicle movement from the moment the center of mass begins to rise to the moment of its maximum rise in the process of overturning. For a particular case, when the critical speed of a vehicle during its overturning is determined, the developed mathematical model fully corresponds to the mathematical model based on the law of conservation of energy. For a specific vehicle, numerical results were obtained that fully correspond to the physics of the overturning process.

Problem. One of the most pressing problems of modern automotive industry is to simplify and facilitate driving. As for such a branch of the automotive industry as military equipment. One of the keys to successful completion of the task by the crew of any combat vehicle is the least possible distraction from the process of driving a vehicle and focus on the task. This is possible if the vehicle is provided with relatively comfortable driving conditions, good dynamic properties and the required minimum of controls. The solution to the issue of facilitating car driving cannot be solved without automation of transmission control. Goal. The aim of the project is to create a prototype of an electronic system of automated control of the friction clutch of a vehicle to increase the reliability and efficiency of special and military vehicles. Methodology. Analytical methods of research, program and full-scale modeling, experimental researches on real object of management are used. Originality. New interrelations between the structural elements of the actuator of the friction clutch are proposed, which allow to ensure the required speed of the actuator of the electropneumatic clutch control drive without losing control accuracy when using two electropneumatic valves. The proposed control algorithm of the actuator allows the use of both normally closed valves without residual pressure in the power cylinder. Practical value. The stages of synthesis of the electronic control system are carried out. The algorithm of operation of the tracking system with the use of PID-regulator and taking into account the features of the actuator is proposed and debugged. A new clutch pedal design with an induction sensor is proposed, which provides high accuracy and speed, and also requires only two wires to connect.

Authors: Vdovychenko Volodymyr , Ivanov Igor
Published: June 2021

Problem. The need to develop and implement city passenger transport management systems is explained by the current trend to account the integrated efficiency of technological processes implementation within enterprises, transport infrastructure and socio-ecological environment. Also, the assessment of management efficiency should reflect the list of requirements to social significance of public transportation quality. The introduction of city passenger transport management system is a complex task that requires development and formalization of the apparatus for identification and structural multilevel analysis of the quality of public transportation as a fundamental tool for assessing its effectiveness. Methodology. By adapting the principles of identification and structural analysis to syntactic structural models of describing the quality of transportation and establishing the basic production connection of its change, a set of instrumental directions for city public passenger transport management is stressed through formalization of processes within the basic levels of their evaluation. Identification and structural analysis of city passenger transport means establishing a general algorithm for forming a hierarchy of problematic tasks of ensuring the quality of transportation and find effective measures to solve them in a multivariate management. The formed structure of the complex adaptive resonant model of passenger transport management is based on establishing the classification signs of public transportation quality and contains the basic layers of comparison and recognition of conditions for its maintenance. Originality. The situational and structural approach is offered as an invariant basis for the system analysis of difficult objects when implementing the principles of complex management of city passenger transport. It is proposed to approach the choice of the structural modeling apparatus that satisfies the selected requirements of the strategic management of city passenger transport from the standpoint of the possibilities of syntactic formalization of descriptions of its levels and the tasks of identification and structural analysis. Practical value. Based on the principles of adaptive resonance theory, the structure of the model of multilevel coordination of local control parameters is developed and a sequence of their quantitative comparative evaluation is formed according to the basic units corresponding to strategic types of city passenger transport management: improving mobility and quality of transportation, economic incentives, resource efficiency of transport infrastructure, road safety, environmental impact. The developed general structure of the contour of integrated city public transport management allows in prospect to form a model of multilevel coordination of local parameters and is a methodological basis for implementation of automated decision support systems.
Mobility as a service or mobility as commons?
Authors: Mladenovic Milos
Published: June 2021

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is a relatively fast-growing emerging technology based on a vision of integration and user-friendliness in mobility systems, based on a “mobility platform” approach. Considering that most of the literature so far does not take an explicitly critical attitude towards this emerging technology, this paper considers the great uncertainties and implications for the socio-technical domains in and out of everyday mobility. The analysed implications also refer to the set of innovation actors, as well as the institutions and patterns of interaction between them. The conclusion is that the technological transition of MaaS from a niche to a mobility regime requires the convergence of several socio-technical factors of societal digitalization, the development of a wider infrastructure, and a regulatory system change. To avoid the potential undesired effects of MaaS, transport policy and institutions for managing technological development will need to recognize the underlying problems at the root of further activities, ranging from depoliticization to fundamental theoretical questions about the essence of the mobility commons.

Perceiving and Predicting Threat from Faces
Authors: Liftiah Liftiah , Shyi Gary C.-W.
Published: June 2021

The human face is a
remarkable platform for conveying a variety of information, both biological and
social. Studies have indicated that observers can infer human traits from
faces. Facial structures serve as a cue for behavioral propensities linked to
testosterone, e.g., aggression, physical strength, and threats. Predicting potential threats from face has
critical and practical value for adaptation and survival; however, observer’s accuracy
on judging behavioral tendencies remains questionable. The present review discusses
the reliability of face structures to predict threats. We review how faces
provide a cue to predict human tendencies, how facial-to-trait inference
occurs, how facial structures can serve as a proxy for potential threats. Additionally,
we discuss studies of how Eastern and Western culture may be related to
judgments of aggression and physical strength. Based on our review, we propose other
potential cues as proxies for threat propensities, socio-cultural contributions
to threat perceptions, along with implications and methodologies for future
research.

Published: June 2021

Dalam percakapan sehari-hari kata “kritik” biasanya mendapat arti yang kurang baik atau negatif. Kata tersebut sering dikaitkan dengan penilaian yang negative serta buruk terhadap sesuatu. Tetapi, dapat pula bernilai positif. Misalnya tentang ktitik seni, sastra ataupun musik. Dalam hal ini kritik menunjuk kepada cara penafsiran yang secara sistematis berusaha menonjolkan mutu dari sesuatu. Dalam realitanya, kritik teks malah berhasil menonjolkan hal-hal yang positif dan baik. Namun, jika pendekatan ini diterapkan terhadap Alkitab seringkali dipahami sebagai usaha yang negatif . Tetapi, pendekatan ini dapat diterima secara baik jika setiap orang memahaminya dari sudut pandang positif bahwa pendekatan kritik teks ini adalah usaha yang sistematis untuk memahami Alktab dengan cara memeriksa, mempelajari dan menerangkan bentuk, isi dan latarbelakang Alkitab dengan memanfaatkan jasa-jasa semua pengetahuan yang ada dan relevan . Dalam kaitannya dengan Injil Yohanes, ada beberapa hal dari Teologi Yohanes yang perlu untuk diketahui makna yang sebenarnya. Ada beberapa gelar Yesus yang perlu mendapat penyelidikan dan penelusuran untuk mengetahui arti sebenarnya dari gelar tersebut
Aptamers targeting vascular endothelial growth factor molecular regulation as potential therapists

Published: June 2021

The discovery of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its vital biological function has changed our knowledge of vasculogenesis and angiogenesis, while introducing a new strategy to the anticancer arsenal: this protein's specialized inhibition. Discovering VEGF's molecular regulation as well as developing revolutionary therapeutic strategies that directly or indirectly target VEGF is an outstanding case study that demonstrates the relevance of basic research in directing innovation and translational medicine. Following FDA approval of pegaptanib for AMD therapy, nucleic acid-based aptamers were discovered and developed. In an efficient bench-to-bedside process, a spate of new aptamers targeting a range of targets were discovered in a short period as high-potential therapists. Anti-VEGF DNA-based aptamers were the most significant. Standard SELEX processes were utilized to find most anti-VEGF DNA aptamers, while some of them employed alternate and upgraded SELEX-based techniques. After identifying the best oligonucleotide sequences, the highest affinity aptamers were further refined for target binding and/or activity. Synthesizing and evaluating the parent aptamer's structural analogs was utilized to find strategies to boost performance. Despite aptasensor success in a wide range of signal transduction approaches, which also allow extremely low detection limits, more work has to be done to construct meaningful and easy-to-use VEGF aptasensors for point-of-care diagnostics. In actuality, most published Aptasensors have only been evaluated in vitro, and it is vital to broaden their use to future in vivo situations and difficult clinical data. Creating high-affinity anti-VEGF DNA aptamers paves the path for additional diagnostic and therapeutic application research. Given the biological complexity of VEGF signaling, pharmacological combination therapies can significantly improve conventional anticancer treatments. These can be combined with VEGF signaling suppression to give more effective therapy and avoid resistance, which is frequent in cancer.
Nanomaterials can inhibit planktonic and biofilm bacteria and can be used as topical therapy for mouth and wound-related infections

Nanomaterials are an emerging therapeutic option for resistant planktonic MDR and biofilm diseases. The adjustable properties of nanomaterials, especially their surface functionalities, give design opportunities that can be fine-tuned to maximize therapeutic effectiveness while lowering host toxicity. This review shows how nanoparticles can attack bacteria in both planktonic and biofilm forms. Nanomaterials can access new multimodal antibacterial pathways, lowering or avoiding antibiotic resistance. Nanoparticles can be employed as topical treatments for mouth and wound biofilm-related infections. Strategies combining bactericidal effects with biofilm dispersion, however, are best for total biofilm eradication. Stimulated nanoparticles that take advantage of particular microenvironments at infection sites, such as pH and pathogen-derived metabolites, are one of numerous strategies to target nanomaterial MDR bacteria. Nanoparticles' long-term effects on the body and their systemic safety remain important challenges to therapeutic use. Nanoparticles' pharmacokinetic profile is presently being defined to better comprehend their bodily destiny. Effective antimicrobial nanomaterials need interdisciplinary collaboration between chemists, biological researchers (including microbiologists), and engineers. Cooperation across basic, translational, and industrial groups will be important in delivering antimicrobial nanoparticles to the clinic. Overall, nanomaterial-based treatment approaches offer a feasible alternative to antibiotics for difficult-to-treat diseases, alleviating post-antibiotic issues.
