OBSERVACIONES (NUEVAS Y VIEJAS) SOBRE LAS FUERZAS ARMADAS EN EL MUNDO ATLÁNTICO: LAS AMENAZAS Y DESAFÍOS ACTUALES Y FUTUROS EN PERSPECTIVA HISTÓRICA
Authors: NUNN FREDERICK M.
Published: December 2017

Confrontaciones con amenazas y desafíos a la existencia de gobiernos y sociedades han marcado el flujo de tiempo durante toda la historia. Las amenazas del presente y futuro, asociados, como es el caso en muchos lugares, con desafíos históricos y tradicionales, son tan complejas que exigen nuevas formas de relaciones entre la autoridad civil y el liderazgo de las instituciones profesionales encargadas con la defensa y seguridad. Estas nuevas relaciones tendrán que basarse en una comprensión de los procesos de democratización y globalización tanto como en la naturaleza compleja de los conflictos que afectan la seguridad, soberanía y estabilidad de los estados-nación del siglo veintiuno. Tan formidables como ellas aparecen, estas amenazas y desafíos pueden considerarse nuevas reiteraciones de otras situaciones que marcan nuestras historias. En el Mundo Atlántico, en ninguna parte más que América Latina, la literatura de la profesión militar ha mostrado siempre un reconocimiento de que las lecciones del pasado aplicadas a los problemas del presente ayudan en la preparación para el futuro. Una razón principal para esto es que mucha de dicha literatura en sí es el producto de colaboraciones civiles-militares.

Published: December 2017

The new technology of database has moved forward the relational databases. Now, the massive and unstructured data encourage experts to create a new type of database without using query. One of this technology is called NoSQL (Not Only SQL). One of the developing RDBMS that using this technique is MongoDB, which already supporting data storage technology that is no longer need for structured tables and rigid-typed of data. The schema was made flexible to handle the changes of data. The MongoDB data collecting characteristics in the form of arrays is considered suitable for the implementation of boarding house searching where each of the boarding houses have their own scenario structures. MongoDB also supports several programming language, including PHP with Bootstrap material as interface. The results of the research showed that there are alot of difference in implementing a NoSQL database with the regular relational one. NoSQL databases considered alot more complicated in structure, data type, even the CRUD system. The results also showed that in order to view an array inside another array will need two processes.

Authors: Rosko Peter , Králik Juraj
Published: December 2017

The paper deals with probabilistic analysis of the Ernst Happel stadium`s roof – roof of the biggest stadium in Austria. The presented contribution extends the analyses carried out after 25 years lifetime. The numerical model of the stadium`s roof was identified on the base of dynamical measurements and was initially analysed using deterministic approach. Considering the uncertainties of stiffness and loading of the roof, probabilistic analyses were carried out. The uncertainties were modelled with help of truncated Gaussian distribution as statistical distribution function. The Monte Carlo Simulation and the Response Surface Method were applied. The output parameters which affect the dynamic behavior of the stadium roof were analyzed with help of response surface. The sensitivities of natural frequencies and modes on the uncertainties of stiffness and loading are presented.

Authors: Arnold Scott F. , Wagner Amber
Published: December 2017

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are widely recognized as versatile materials for the retrofit and repair of structural members for a variety of existing deficiencies. As a supplement to the FRP, mechanical or composite anchorage is sometimes utilized to increase the performance of various FRP-reinforced structural members. With proper design and detailing, the use of composite anchors has proven to prevent premature debonding failure of externally bonded FRP. The performance of FRP-retrofitted concrete members continues to be cited as a high-priority topic for research and an assortment of tests have been completed to validate the use of composite anchors in different types of applications. This paper will review the performance of different tested assemblies using FRP with and without the use of composite anchorage, including state of the art testing on a beam-column assembly. In addition, there will be discussions on the variety of structural applications and specific detailing required on composite anchors to ensure a safe and durable strengthening system.

Authors: Zhan Ying , Au Francis T. K.
Published: December 2017

As the surface roughness of a bridge has significant influence on the interaction between a moving vehicle and the bridge, it is one of the hurdles for the use of drive-by technique in the assessment of bridges. The proper identification of surface roughness of a bridge will be most useful to the minimization of associated uncertainties and improvement of accuracy of numerical simulation. This paper presents a novel method for estimation of the bridge surface roughness profile from the responses extracted from an instrumented vehicle based on vehicle-bridge interaction. By letting the vehicle run along the bridge with different added masses, an estimation of the roughness profile can be obtained. The feasibility and effectiveness of this method are studied by finite element simulation.

Authors: Bondar Anastasia
Published: December 2017

The current relevance of the research. Comprehensive study of the historical and cultural heritage of Ukraine, an objective assessment of historical realities, the identification of progressive ideas, comprehension and awareness of the achievements of previous generations on physical education is one of the starting conditions for reforming the modern system of physical education in educational institutions. The aim is to study the peculiarities of organization and administration of physical education in Slobozhanshchyna gymnasiums in the second half of the XIXth–early XXth centuries. Methods: analysis of literary sources and documents, comparative-historical and structural system methods. Results. Analysis of archival documents of the investigated period made it possible to assert that physical education, as a subject of study, began to be introduced in the Slobozhanshchyna gymnasiums in 1860’s. The gymnastics lesson gained the status of a compulsory school subject in 1890’s, it was conditioned by a significant decrease in the level of health of high school students and active development of sports movement in Slobozhanschyna. In addition to the gymnastics lesson, the following forms of physical education were introduced in the gymnasium: active breaks (recreation), military patriotic games, walks and excursions, classes in sports clubs, athletic holidays and competitions. The official authority regulated the introduction of physical education in the gymnasium and controlled this process. Responsibility for its content, due to the lack of the same curricula, was entrusted to the administration of educational institutions. The questions of financial, personnel, material and technical support of the gymnasium were solved independently. Conclusions. A characteristic feature of the physical education of the students of the Slobozhanschyna gymnasiums of the investigated period is the difference in time of the introduction of various forms of physical education into the educational process of gymnasiums because of the lack of necessary conditions in many of them.

After gaining Poland’s independence in 1918 the government of the country began an active work on the establishment of a national system of physical education for children and youth. Among important aspects of reforming this area was the implementation of an important task – the development of mass sports in the country. In 1919 the Polish Olympic Committee was set up whose task was to popularize the Olympic movement in the country, the representation of Polish sports in Europe and the word, the development of sport among different age groups of society, creating optimal conditions for physical education and sports, assistance in preparation of Polish athletes to participate in the summer and winter Olympic Games. In a short period (1919–1921) the federations were established in the country: track and field, football, cycling, speed skating etc. which contributed to the development of the sports movement in Poland. In 1935, 473,000 athletes regularly trained in 4500 sports clubs and sections that functioned in different regions of the country. In Poland a wide network of sports medicine centers was created in which 770 doctors of sports medicine worked. Since 1924 Polish athletes have taken an active part in the summer and winter Olympic Games and get prizes in different sports. In the post war years Poland’s national teams perform in the most prestigious competitions at all the Olympics. The Polish Olympic Committee actively participates in the world Olympic movement and promotes the further development of the mass sports in the country.

Published: December 2017

Topicality. From time to time, due to objective or subjective reasons, the popularity of various sports in the country, or in some regions, changes. Over time, the name of the founder is forgotten, some materials are lost, relationships with eyewitnesses and participants of sporting events are broken. In this regard, the problem of preserving the historical moments of creation of various types of social activities and interests remains relevant. Therefore, the purpose of our article is to study the history of women's volleyball development as one of the most popular sports in Lutsk. Results of Investigation. It has been established that at the beginning of the 20th century volleyball was included in the program of competitions in educational institutions in Lutsk. Active volleyball development in Volyn began in 1969 with the opening of the Faculty of Physical Education at the Lutsk State Pedagogical Institute named after Lesya Ukrainka and the Regional Sports School for Children and Youth. Through conversations and interviews with current and former trainers, players, referees, the stages of women's team transition from school volleyball to high level volleyball have been identified. Training a group of girls since 1976, head coach Bohuslav Halytsky managed to pick up a team of coaches who were aimed at high sports results. Thanks to this, the team of Volyn volleyball players became the bronze medalist of Ukraine in 1978. During the years of Soviet Ukraine as part of the USSR, 50 % of the national team of our country were volleyballists trained by B. Halytsky. In the game season of 2006–2007, the team became the champion of Ukraine and entered the super league. The name of the Lutsk volleyball team often changed. Since 2016–2017 the women's team has been called «Volyn–University–Regional Sports School for Children and Youth». Many Lutsk volleyball players continue their sports careers in teams of well-known Ukrainian and foreign clubs masters. Conclusion. For 40 years female volleyball in Lutsk has gained great popularity. The team «Volyn–University–Regional Sports School for Children and Youth» is replenished at the expense of pupils of the special department of the Olympic reserve on volleyball of the Sports School for Children and Youth. During the entire existence of the volleyball team, two Masters of Sports of the International Class and more than 40 Masters of Sports of Ukraine have been trained.

Pathways to the Principalship
Authors: Davis Bradley W. , Gooden Mark A. , Bowers Alex J.
Published: December 2017

Utilizing rich data on nearly 11,000 educators over 17 academic years in a highly diverse context, we examine the career paths of teachers to determine whether and when they transition into the principalship. We utilize a variety of event history analyses, including discrete-time hazard modeling, to determine how an individual’s race, gender, and their combination—among other characteristics—contribute to their likelihood of making this transition. We found that inequitable pathways to the principalship are not explained by systematic differences in personal and contextual characteristics along lines of race and gender but rather that the selection of school leaders may be a process influenced by systemic bias.
Processes and Dynamics Behind Whole-School Reform
Authors: Li Yuk Yung
Published: December 2017

Despite decades of research, little is known about the dynamics of sustaining change in school reform and how the process of change unfolds. By tracing the nine-year reform journeys of four primary schools in Hong Kong (using multiyear interview, observational, and archival data), this study uncovers the micro-processes the schools experienced during their reform. New practices first took root in a group of pilot teachers before gradually disseminating to other teachers and eventually transforming the entire school. Challenges differed across the reform journey. Synergy between school leadership, external support, and organization redesign was critical for initial success. Continued progress depended on whether school leaders and external partners could adapt their roles and redesign the organization to address the school’s changing capacity and needs. The study reveals the long-term process of school reform and has crucial implications for policy, research, and practice.
Methodology to Backcalculate Individual Speed Data Originally Aggregated by Road Detectors
Authors: Catani Lorenzo , Tremblay Jean-Michel , Bassani Marco , Cirillo Cinzia
Published: December 2017

Highway and traffic engineers collect vehicular speed data with detectors based on a variety of fixed and mobile device technologies, to support analysis and design activities. Most acquisition units aggregate speed data into speed classes for ease of management and storage. An unfortunate result of this practice is a significant loss of content associated with individual speed data. Moreover, the use of individual speeds is often necessary to support road safety analysis and speed management decisions. For bridging of this gap, this paper introduces an algorithm that disaggregates speed data collected with automatic road detectors that can measure speed frequency only in intervals. The objective is to obtain backcalculated individual speeds that operate with continuous distribution functions rather than discrete ones. This information allows the derivation of more robust, basic descriptive measures (average, variance, and percentiles) according to normal, lognormal, and gamma probability distribution functions. Therefore, the information produced is more useful than that calculated from standard aggregated speed reports. In this investigation, individual speed data collected from video cameras were used to derive reference distributions and descriptive measures on the same road sections where inductive double-loop detectors were installed. Comparisons of the backcalculated individual speeds and those collected from video cameras support the validity of the proposed algorithm.
Impact of Congestion and Traffic Flow on Crash Frequency and Severity: Application of Smartphone-Collected GPS Travel Data
Authors: Stipancic Joshua , Miranda-Moreno Luis , Saunier Nicolas
Published: December 2017

Mobility and safety are the two greatest priorities within any transportation system. Ideally, traffic flow enhancement and crash reductions could occur simultaneously, although their relationship is likely complex. The impact of traffic congestion and flow on road safety requires more empirical evidence to determine the direction and magnitude of the relationship. The study of this relationship is an ideal application for instrumented vehicles and surrogate safety measures (SSMs). The purpose of this paper is to correlate quantitative measures of congestion and flow derived from smartphone-collected GPS data with collision frequency and severity at the network scale. GPS travel data were collected in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, and the sample for this study contained data for more than 4,000 drivers and 20,000 trips. The extracted SSMs, the congestion index (CI), average speed ( V), and the coefficient of variation of speed (CVS) were compared with crash data collected over an 11-year period from 2000 to 2010 with the use of Spearman’s correlation coefficient and pairwise Kolmogorov–Smirnov tests. The correlations with crash frequency were weak to moderate. CI was shown to be positively correlated with crash frequency, and the relationship to crash severity was found to be nonmonotonous. Higher congestion levels were related to crashes with major injuries, whereas low congestion levels were related to crashes with minor injuries and fatalities. Surprisingly, V was found to be negatively correlated with crash frequency and had no conclusive statistical relationship to crash severity. CVS was positively correlated with crash frequency and statistically related to increased crash severity. Future work will focus on the development of a network screening model that incorporates these SSMs.
Assessing Safety of Signalized Intersections: Influence of Geometric Attributes and Regionality on Traffic Accident Risk
Authors: Shiomi Yasuhiro , Watanabe Kazuki , Nakamura Hideki , Akahane Hirokazu
Published: December 2017

Traffic accidents constitute a serious social problem. Thus, it is essential to identify and remove the risk factors affecting traffic accidents to enhance traffic safety at intersections. This study identified and quantified the main factors influencing traffic accident risk at signalized intersections to propose effective countermeasures. Google Earth was used to collect numerical data related to the geometric attributes of intersections in three regions in Japan: Kagawa, Shiga, and Aichi. A lognormal hurdle model that considered regionality and geometric attributes was then used to quantify factors influencing the risk of traffic accidents involving various types of collisions. The results indicate the existence of significant regional differences in the geometric attributes of intersections in those regions. The findings reveal that intersection size (indicated by the distance between stop lines), length of crosswalks, and setback distance of crosswalks generally and significantly influence all collision risk types; in addition, a compact intersection lowered the risk of all collision types. And in most cases, regional dummy variables were statistically significant. This finding suggests that in addition to intersection geometric attributes, regional differences in some factors influenced collision risk. Thus, it could be reasonably assumed that regionality stemmed from differences in driving characteristics.

Safety measurement and its analysis have been challenging and well-researched topics in transportation. Conventionally, surrogate safety measures have been used as safety indicators in simulation models for safety assessment, in control formulations for driver assistance systems, and in data analysis of naturalistic driving studies. However, surrogate indicators give partial insights on traffic safety; that is, these indicators only indicate a predetermined set of possible precrash situations for an interacting vehicle pair. Recently, a safety indicator called the “driving safety field,” based on field theory, was proposed for two-dimensional vehicle interactions. However, the objectivity of its functional form and its validity have yet to be tested. A qualitative and quantitative comparison of different safety indicators was provided as a risk measure to demarcate their mathematical properties and evaluate their usefulness in quantifying trajectory risk. Five relevant safety indicators were compared: inverse time to collision, postencroachment time, potential indicator of collision with urgent decceleration, warning index, and safety field force. Their formulations were mathematically analyzed to yield qualitative insights and their values over simulated vehicle trajectories were evaluated to yield quantitative insights. The results acknowledge the limitations and demarcate the functional utilities of the selected safety indicators.
Predicting Day and Night Traffic Volumes on Rural Roads for Statistical Road Safety Modeling
Authors: Musunuru Anusha , Wei Ran , Porter Richard J.

Statistical road safety modelers have commonly used some combination of segment length and traffic volume as measures of exposure. Traffic volume is usually represented in statistical road safety models with annual average daily traffic (AADT), which turns out to be a highly influential right-hand-side variable for regression models of expected crash frequency. Models that use AADT alone do not explicitly capture differences in traffic volume patterns throughout the 24-h day; this factor can have significant effects on safety performance. This study adds to the existing literature by developing more disaggregated estimates of traffic volumes for day and night conditions in rural areas and modeling road safety using those estimates. The proposed approach is demonstrated with the data from all automatic traffic recorder stations in Utah, with subsequent safety analysis focused on rural two-lane horizontal curve segments. Universal kriging, along with multiple covariates, proved to be an effective spatial technique for predicting day and night traffic volumes at unmeasured locations using data from permanent traffic-recording stations. Predicted day and night traffic volume estimates were incorporated into statistical road safety models of the expected number of crashes on rural two-lane horizontal curves to determine how this new information affected safety model estimation results. The parameter estimate for the predicted ratio of night-to-day traffic volume was positive and statistically significant and verified the hypothesis that horizontal curves with higher proportions of traffic at night were expected to experience more crashes than similar curves with higher proportions of traffic during the day.
Uncertain Classification of Variable Stars: Handling Observational GAPS and Noise

Automatic classification methods applied to sky surveys have revolutionized the astronomical target selection process. Most surveys generate a vast amount of time series, or “lightcurves,” that represent the brightness variability of stellar objects in time. Unfortunately, lightcurves’ observations take several years to be completed, producing truncated time series that generally remain without the application of automatic classifiers until they are finished. This happens because state-of-the-art methods rely on a variety of statistical descriptors or features that present an increasing degree of dispersion when the number of observations decreases, which reduces their precision. In this paper, we propose a novel method that increases the performance of automatic classifiers of variable stars by incorporating the deviations that scarcity of observations produces. Our method uses Gaussian process regression to form a probabilistic model of each lightcurve’s observations. Then, based on this model, bootstrapped samples of the time series features are generated. Finally, a bagging approach is used to improve the overall performance of the classification. We perform tests on the MAssive Compact Halo Object (MACHO) and Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) catalogs, results show that our method effectively classifies some variability classes using a small fraction of the original observations. For example, we found that RR Lyrae stars can be classified with ~80% accuracy just by observing the first 5% of the whole lightcurves’ observations in the MACHO and OGLE catalogs. We believe these results prove that, when studying lightcurves, it is important to consider the features’ error and how the measurement process impacts it.
Increased Prevalence of Bent Lobes for Double-lobed Radio Galaxies in Dense Environments

Double-lobed radio galaxies (DLRGs) often have radio lobes that subtend an angle of less than 180°, and these bent DLRGs have been shown to associate preferentially with galaxy clusters and groups. In this study, we utilize a catalog of DLRGs in SDSS quasars with radio lobes visible in VLA FIRST 20 cm radio data. We cross-match this catalog against three catalogs of galaxies over the redshift range

, obtaining 81 tentative matches. We visually examine each match and apply a number of selection criteria, eventually obtaining a sample of 44 securely detected DLRGs, which are paired to a nearby massive galaxy, galaxy group, or galaxy cluster. Most of the DLRGs identified in this manner are not central galaxies in the systems to which they are matched. Using this sample, we quantify the projected density of these matches as a function of projected separation from the central galaxy, finding a very steep decrease in matches as the impact parameter increases (for

Mpc. In addition, we show that the fraction of DLRGs with bent lobes also decreases with radius, so that if we exclude DLRGs associated with the central galaxy in the system, the bent fraction is 78% within 1 Mpc and 56% within 2 Mpc, compared to just 29% in the field; these differences are significant at

, respectively. This behavior is consistent with ram pressure being the mechanism that causes the lobes to bend.

Introduction

Several studies have revealed an association between unemployment and ill health, and shown that unemployment can affect people differently. This study aimed to provide an understanding of the experiences of unemployment and perceptions of wellbeing among persons who involuntary lost their work during the recent economic recession in Gävle Municipality.

Methods

Sixteen unemployed men and women aged 28-62 were interviewed face-to-face. A purposeful sampling strategy was used in order to suit the research question and to increase the variation among informants. The interview texts were analysed using thematic analysis.

Results

Six different themes emerged from the accounts: The respondents perceived work as the basis for belonging, and loss of work affected their social life and consumption patterns due to changes in their financial situation. They also expressed feelings of isolation, loss of self-esteem, and feelings of hopelessness, which affected their physical well-being. Longer duration of unemployment increased the respondents’ negative emotions. The respondents reported activities, structure, and affiliation in other contexts as part of their coping strategy against poor mental health.

Conclusions

After job loss, the respondents experienced feelings of loss of dignity and belonging as a human being. They also felt worry, insecurity, and stress due to their changed financial situation, which in turn led to isolation and loss of self-esteem. Social support and having other activities gave the respondents structure and meaning.
THE USE OF REMOTE SENSING DATA FOR MODELING AIR QUALITY IN THE CITIES

Abstract. Monitoring of environmental pollution in the cities by the methods of remote sensing of the Earth is actual area of research for sustainable development. Ukraine has a poorly developed network of monitoring stations for air quality, the technical condition of which is deteriorating in recent years. Therefore, the possibility of obtaining data about the condition of air by remote sensing methods is of great importance. The paper considers the possibility of using the data about condition of atmosphere of the project AERONET to assess the air quality in Ukraine. The main pollution indicators were used data on fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) content in the atmosphere. The main indicator of air quality in Ukraine is the air pollution index (API). We have built regression models the relationship between indicators of NO2, which are measured by remote sensing methods and ground-based measurements of indicators. There have also been built regression models, the relationship between the data given to the land of NO2 and API. To simulate the relationship between the API and PM2.5 were used geographically weighted regression model, which allows to take into account the territorial differentiation between these indicators. As a result, the maps that show the distribution of the main types of pollution in the territory of Ukraine, were constructed. PM2.5 data modeling is complicated with using existing indicators, which requires a separate organization observation network for PM2.5 content in the atmosphere for sustainable development in cities of Ukraine.
