Engineering Classes as a Tool of Professional Navigation
Authors: Vasilieva O. N. , Konovalova N. V.
Published: January 2019

The article emphasizes the importance and relevance of engineering education in the face of challenges of the modern information society, development of new technologies and knowledgeintensive industries. Attention is paid to the low level of demand for engineering professions among potential entrants, as well as to the issue of developing competencies needed for a modern engineer, taking into account the requirements of the labour market. The article describes the experience of I.N. Ulianov Chuvash State University on organizing career-guidance work with pupils of educational in-stitutions, including implementation of projects aimed at popularization of engineering education. One of such significant for the region projects is “Engineering classes”, in which senior classes schoolchildren of four leading partner-schools of the University take part. The training program includes lessons on mathematics, physics and computer sciences, reinforcing training of future entrants for getting higher engineering-technical education, as well as an elective part on solving applied engineering tasks from the following sections: electronics, robotics, mechatronics, 3D modeling, engineering graphics, and prototyping. A specific feature of the project is a broad engagement of students majoring in technical directions as tutors into the educational process when schoolchildren perform research and design work. Along with higher levels of knowledge in basic subjects for a future engineer, an active participation of schoolchildren in project activities makes it possible to develop communication skills, acquire experience of team work, which is particularly in demand by employers. The article stresses the important role of the largest industrial regional enterprises in implementing the project. These enterprises provide their production sites to explore the organization of production and professional activities of engineers, as well as participate in holding Olympiads and creative contests and provide opportunities for subsequent target training. Thus, the project «Engineering classes» makes it possible to implement the model of continuing education in a single chain «School-University-Enterprise», thereby creating preconditions for the growth of human capacity in regional high-tech enterprises.
The Problem of Institutional Corruption in the System of Higher Education
Authors: Trubnikova E. I. , Trubnikov D. A.
Published: January 2019

The article analyzes modern problems and trends of development of the system of higher education. The persistent expansion of regulation and uncontrolled growth of bureaucracy increase dependence of regulated areas on private interests of those who have access to the regulatory machine. This tendency has not bypassed the academic sphere, and, in many instances, there is a clear discrepancy between the proclaimed objectives and observed results. The vivid example is the Russian system of higher education, which is the main focus of the present study. We explain this phenomenon through the lens of the institutional corruption theory and argue that the observing evolution of modern academia forms a wrong system of incentives, bringing to the hands of bureaucrats excessive power, which, eventually, distorts the performance of the higher education sphere and undermines the effectiveness of this important institution.
Complex Interval-valued Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets and their Aggregation Operators
Authors: Garg Harish , Rani Dimple
Published: January 2019

The objective of this manuscript is to present the concept of the complex interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (CIVIF) set, their algebraic operations and their corresponding aggregation operators, which can better represent the time-periodic problems and two-dimensional information in a single set. The proposed CIVIF set includes the characteristics of both complex intuitionistic fuzzy set, as well as the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Some of the basic operational laws and their properties have been investigated in details. Also, we have developed some new weighted and ordered weighted averaging and geometric aggregation operators with complex interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information. The proposed operations are the generalization of the operations of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy, complex fuzzy and complex intuitionistic fuzzy theories. Furthermore, a group decision-making method is established based on these operators. Finally, an illustrative example is used to illustrate the applicability and validity of the proposed approach and compare the results with the existing methods to show the effectiveness of it.

"Isa Monogatari" and religious representations of "Hayan"
Authors: Kapranov S. V.
Published: January 2019

"Ise monogatari" is a remarkable monument of Japanese classical literature, dated around the end of the XIX - the beginning of the tenth century. The author of this piece is not known, although the most common traditional version states that it is one of the leading poets of Heaven's (794-1192) years of Arrivar-Narihira (825-880). "Ise monogatari" occupies an important place in the classical hierarchy of texts - deep knowledge of it was obligatory for an educated person; in addition, this work includes a review of the life of the Heianan aristocrat, and therefore has the character of "encyclopedic" self-writing culture.
Ivan Ozhienko about the role of religion in Ukrainian national life
Authors: Nedzelsky K.
Published: January 2019

Ivan Ogienko (1882-1972), also known as Metropolitan Hilarion, devoted much attention to the role and place of religion in the national life of Ukrainians and their ethnic identity in their scholarly and theological works. Without exaggeration it can be argued that the problem of national unity of the Ukrainian people is one of the key principles of all historiosophical considerations of the famous scholar and theologian. If the purpose of the spiritual life of a Ukrainian, according to his views, is to serve God, then the purpose of state or terrestrial life is the dedicated service to his people. The purpose of heaven and the purpose of the earthly paths, intersecting in the life of a certain group of people through the lives of its individual representatives, give rise to a unique alliance of spiritual unity, the name of which is "people" or "nation." Religion (faith) in the process of transforming the anarchist crowd into a spiritually integrated and orderly national integrity serves as the transformer of the imperfect nature of the human soul into perfect.
DETERMINATION OF HARDENED METAL LAYER THICKNESS USING MAGNETIC METHOD
Authors: Bezkorovayniy V. S. , Yakovenko V. V. , Livtsov Y. V.
Published: January 2019

The routine method to control metal surface layer is Vickers hardness test method. The existing nondestructive testing methods are based on measuring induction density and other magnetic quantities in magnetizer core. This causes the method error and restricts the ability to determine the structure of the processed material. The paper provides theoretical and experimental investigation of the method for controlling the hardened axis layer parameters by analyzing characteristics of stray magnetic field of the axis magnetized local surface area before and after rouletting. A method is proposed for determining the hardened metal layer thickness of the rolling stock axis, based on measuring the parameters of the magnetized local area stray magnetic field before and after processing. To justify the proposed method, mathematical modeling of stray magnetic field of the axis local magnetized section is performed before and after processing. Inspection for the hardened metal layer is performed using magnetization of the axis local segment with electromagnet, followed by measuring the stray magnetic field strength. The maximum value of the horizontal magnetic force is determined, which is an informative parameter. A mathematical model is developed for the magnetized section magnetic field, the results of numerical and field experiments are presented. The discrepancy between the experimental data and the results of theoretical calculations is estimated. The method makes it possible to control the thickness of the hardened metal layer and the quality of the hardening of the rolling stock axis.
RADIO SOURCE DIRECTION FINDING IN WIDE FREQUENCY BAND USING CIRCULAR ANTENNA ARRAY
Authors: Shevchenko Maya E. , Malyshev Victor N. , Fayzullina Dilara N.
Published: January 2019

For the VHF broadband direction finder, coherent and incoherent direction finding algorithms for switched and non-switched connection of the antenna array (AR) to receiving device in single-signal and multi-signal direction finding modes are developed and investigated.

Their synthesis is based on the methods of space-time theory of radio systems. Numerical calculation of the direction finding characteristics of the algorithms for different number of antenna array elements determines the operating range upper limiting frequency, in which this configuration provides single-value estimates of the azimuth and elevation angle. Statistical simulation modeling shows that for an odd number of antennas, the antenna array amplitudephase response is unique in a wider frequency band than for an even number of antennas. Due to this MUSIC based property applied in the space of antenna array elements, direction finding algorithm is developed for wide frequency band with several signals overlapping in frequency, with switched and non-switched AR connection to a radio receiver. It is shown that the use of ESPRIT and MUSIC methods in free-space diagram does not allow for direction finding in a wide frequency band with the antenna array fixed configuration. The results of the field studies of the developed algorithms are presented for the single-signal and multi-signal modes of operation, software and hardware implemented in the VHF radio direction finder. A comparative analysis of the developed algorithms with the known APs with fixed configuration is performed. It is shown that with the same AR configuration, it is the direction finding algorithm that determines the frequency range in which the direction finding is unique.

Published: January 2019

The purpose of this research is to create new automatic methods for endoscopic image digital processing, ensuring their high ergonomics and the possibility of effective use in clinical decision support systems. As the result of investigation, the following methods were proposed: the detection and removal of specular highlights; compensation of radial and tangential geometric distortions; the mosaic panorama creation from the input video stream with low level of detail; brightness and contrast enhancement, providing simultaneous successful correction of both dark and bright areas of the image (uneven contrast) without significant underlining of the noise component typical for the existing nonlinear contrasting methods, especially in low-detail image areas; custom color correction based on linear transformation matrix taking into account endoscopic image characteristics and making it possible to customize color palette according to the physician individual preferences. The methods considered were successfully tested on real endoscopic images at the department of innovative medical devices of the Korean Electrotechnological Research Institute. The test results demonstrate their effectiveness and applicability in clinical decision support systems.

Published: January 2019

The aim of the research was to study the antibacterial effect of plant essential oils on the basis of nanoparticles of metals in vitro with the use of test microorganisms on test objects. In experiments, broths of S. aureus (strain P-209) were used. To prepare the broth culture, 25 cc of the nutrient medium was poured into the flask and 0.25 cc of the daily broth culture of microorganisms was added to it. A day later, broth culture was filtered through a sterile gauze-wool or paper filter. In a test tube with various dilutions of a disinfectant in 5 ml, 0.5 cm3 of 24-hour broth culture of the test microorganisms was applied. After 10 minutes holding the platinum loop from the flasks, samples were taken and transferred to Petri dishes from the MPA. The indicated types of work were conducted in compliance with the conditions of sterility. After 30 minutes, keeping the same interval, again took samples and carried out the next sowing on agar. After this, Petri dishes were placed in a thermostat with a temperature of 37 °С. Seeds were viewed 24 and 48 hours. A similar method was also used when conducting a study to determine the bactericidal effect of E. coli. The bactericidal activity of the drug “Barez” on the basis of nanoparticles of silver, benzalkonium chloride and essential oils in vitro with the use of test microorganisms on test objects was investigated. The drug has a high bactericidal effect on S. aureus, which exceeds the activity of phenol in 12.7 times, in comparison with E. coli – 24 times. By protein contamination of surfaces bactericide decreases in 1.9 times in relation to gram-positive microflora and in 1.4 times – in gram-negative. Complex disinfectant “Barez” starting from 0.05% concentration for 10 minutes completely inactivates E. soli and S. aureus on various materials with different structure of the surface. The investigated solutions of essential oils have a wide spectrum of antimicrobial action and can be used for disinfection in diseases of animals, the pathogens of which are equated with resistance to E. soli and S. aureus. Microorganisms, in prolonged contact with silver nanoparticles and essential oils, practically do not produce resistance to them, which is a significant advantage over antibiotics and can be used in humane and veterinary medicine.

Can credit scoring models prevent default payments in the banking industry in the period of financial crisis?
Authors: Madzova Violeta , Ramadini Nehat
Published: January 2019

Credit scoring is a scientific method of assessing the credit risk associated with new credit applications as well as for monitoring of the credit risk in the process of the loan payment. Therefore credit scoring models developed in the banks based on their internal information system, as well as the credit info system in the country, can help the banks to ensure more consistent underwriting and can provide management with a more insightful measure of credit risk. While credit scoring could be a valuable risk management tool in virtually any bank setting, it is probably not wide accepted in the banks with more fundamental underwriting problems such as inexperienced loan officers, inadequate credit procedures, underdeveloped internal and external credit info – system , persistent arrears problems, etc. However credit scoring is only useful , and can make reliable predictions , if the credit scoring models are properly made, data base updated and credit scoring limitations are properly understood, which is very difficult in the turbulent economic environment as it is the world economy in the recent years. Therefore, the paper objective is to analyze if the banking industry can prevent credit default payments through the implementation of the credit scoring models and what are the parameters and the weights that need to be incorporated, so that the models to be more effective in the period of financial crises.

Impact of customer’s queuing over service quality a case study on mobile phone operators in Macedonia
Authors: Ramadini Nehat , Madzova Violeta , Xhemaili Sejdi
Published: January 2019

The worldwide mobile phone market recently is enormously growing associated with a strong demand for smart phones across the entire globe. International Data Corporation (a premier global provider of market intelligence data) argues that the overall mobile phone market is growing faster than previously forecasts, with over than 1.8 billion mobile phones during 2014, and expects to sell over 2.3 billion mobile phones in 2017, in a single year. The world trend in customers’ demand has caused a strong competition among mobile phone companies. Given that the customer satisfaction is a fundamental marketing tool, and companies have gained better understanding of the importance of retaining the current customers through marketing efforts. This paper examines the mobile phone industry in Macedonia, with a special focus on customer’s queuing and services. All four mobile phone companies operating in Macedonia including T-Mobile, One, VIP and Albaphone are examined from the perspective of their customers. A questionnaire with 270 subscribers of mobile operators in Macedonia was employed identifying thus the main issues tackling the customer satisfaction through service provision including queuing. This paper concludes that customers are very much price oriented, but they do appreciate particularly the clear mobile signal. Queuing impacts directly the overall service quality, and majority of respondents are worrying when a large number of customers are waiting in lines and these lines are inappropriately managed by the mobile operators. Hence, a fair customer handling and service in queuing, is a prerequisite for customer satisfaction and loyalty.
The Impacts of Cloud Computing and Big Data Applications on Developing World-Based Smallholder Farmers
Authors: Kshetri Nir
Published: January 2019

Cloud computing and big data applications are likely to have far-reaching and profound impacts on developing world-based smallholder farmers. Especially, the use of mobile devices to access cloudbased applications is a promising approach to deliver value to smallholder farmers in developing countries since according to the International Telecommunication Union, mobile-cellular penetration in developing countries is expected to reach 90% by the end of 2014. This article examines the contexts, mechanisms, processes and consequences associated with cloud computing and big data deployments in farming activities that could affect the lives of developing world-based smallholder farmers. We analyze the roles of big data and cloud-based applications in facilitating input availability, providing access to resources, enhancing farming processes and productivity and improving market access, marketability of products and bargaining power for smallholders. In the developing world’s context, an even bigger question than that of whether agricultural productivity can be improved by using cloud computing and big data is who is likely to benefit from the growth in productivity. The paper analyzes the conditions under which at agricultural productivity associated with the utilization cloud computing and big data applications in developing countries may benefit smallholder farmers. Also investigated in the paper are important privacy and ethical issues involved around cloud computing and big data. While some analysts view that people in developing countries do not need privacy, the paper challenged this view and points out that data privacy and security issues are even more important to smallholder farmers in developing countries.
A Policeless traffic ticketing system with autonomous vehicles
Authors: Özkul Mükremin , Çapuni Ilir
Published: January 2019

Besides being expensive, traffic violation monitoring systems rely heavily on a huge infrastructure that incurs installation, operational, and maintenance costs.

Developing countries — where people do exhibit less traffic safety aware- ness — deployment of such systems becomes a daunting task. A police- men cannot be everywhere, and a policeman can also be bribed.

With the above goals in mind, in this paper we present an infrastructure- less and police-less traffic violation detection system that relies solely on the broadcast messages between the vehicles and secure communication of the vehicles with the transportation authority. Each vehicle should be equipped with a small board box (or a smartphone) with a wifi antenna and 3G capability and subscription. The system is highly scalable and can include pedestrians with smartphones. It is active and operational wherever and whenever there are two participants in the range of each other.

Each participant has two roles to bear simultaneously. The first one is to report and prove its location to the transportation authority. The second one is to report the presence of other vehicles in the neighborhood to the transportation authority and flag those that disobey the traffic rules acting as trustworthy and anonymous witnesses. This is a preliminary report on a still ongoing research project.
Labeled-Image CAPTCHA: concept of a secured and universally useful CAPTCHA
Authors: Hossain Mokter , Nguyen Ken , Rahman Muhammad
Published: January 2019

Captcha (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) is a widely used online security tool that ensures that a computer program is not posing as a human user. While smart programs with advanced image processing capability have already cracked picture based captcha systems there is a need for making the test harder. This paper presents a design prototype of a simplified type of labeled-image captcha where a picture of a common animal or household item is marked with a number of different labels and the users will be asked to provide the correct label for specific parts of the picture. Due to human’s familiarity with body shapes and part names of such common pictures, they will easily identify a specific organ/parts of the picture. Such labeled-image captcha tests are expected to be very easy for human users regardless of their culture, age, gender, educational background and other discriminations but tough for the bots and automated computer programs.
Definition, Validation and Comparison of Two Population Models for Austria
Authors: Bicher Martin , Glock Barbara , Miksch Florian , Popper Niki , Schneckenreither Günter
Published: January 2019

In this work we present two structurally different mathematical models for the prognostic simulation of Austria’s population: A time-continuous, macroscopic system dynamics approach and a time-discrete, microscopic agent-based approach. Both models were developed as case studies of a series of population concepts in order to support models for decision-support in Austria’s health care system. In the present work we want to focus on the definition, the parametrisation as well as especially the validation process of both population-models. The latter was of special interest as it included a cross-model validation with Statistics Austria’s own prognostic model SIKURS.

Determinants of transition from school to work in Albania
Authors: Alikaj Eni , Shehaj Esmeralda
Published: January 2019

The transition from school to work is a very important stage in the life of the youngsters, during which they aim at a satisfactory integration in the labour market. However, in this process they often face different barriers, such as high unemployment rates, and economic inactivity. In Albania, youth unemployment is about twice as much as that of the total unemployment rates and has shown an increasing trend during the last years. In 2014, 32.5% of the youngsters were unemployed. Furthermore, the rate of those not being in employment, education, and/or training in 2014 was 34.5%, of which 36% are unemployed, while the rest remain out of the labour market because they are discouraged (23%), dealing with household chores and family responsibilities (19.4%) or any other reason (21.4%). From a gender perspective, male youngsters are more active than females, with an extremely high difference of about 30 percentage points between them, although the inactivity rates are almost equal.

This paper uses the Albanian Living Standards Measurement Survey 2012 to investigate the factors that affect the transition from school to work in Albania. It employs survival model estimation and uses the time span from education completion to their first job as a dependent variable and several individual, household and community/regional level independent variables. Our findings indicate that age, the level and field of education, and family background are important determinants of the transition towards the first job. Several recommendations with regards to decreasing transition times are provided in the paper.

Objetivo. Determinar los factores Perinatales asociados a mortalidad neonatal en menores de 1500 g en el Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal. Materiales y Métodos. Basados en una cohorte histórica de 1265 nacimientos de RNMBP que ocurrieron en el Instituto Nacional Materno Perinatal (INMP) entre los años 2006 al 2010 se determinó los factores perinatales asociados con la mortalidad neonatal. Se utilizó el programa SPSS v.17 para un análisis de sobrevida con el método de Kaplan- Meier y un análisis multivariado mediante la regresión de Cox. Resultados. Los RNMBP representaron 1,5% del total de recién nacidos vivos. Hubo una sobrevida global del 60%. Después del análisis multivariado, la preeclampsia, la rotura prematura de membranas, el parto vaginal, ser de género masculino y las patologías neonatales que incluyeron la depresión al nacer severa, la asfixia, la enfermedad de membrana hialina y la hemorragia intraventricular severa estuvieron asociadas significativamente con mayor riesgo de mortalidad neonatal. Conclusiones. Un tamizaje temprano de preclampsia y un manejo agresivo de las condiciones que llevarían a una rotura prematura de membranas podrían reducir la frecuencia y severidad del pretérmino extremo. El parto por cesárea sería la vía recomendada ante su inminencia. Las severas complicaciones neonatales de estos neonatos producen una pobre relación costo efectividad por lo que es imprescindible un enfoque perinatológico con énfasis en el área prenatal para intentar dar un mejor pronóstico a estos neonatos.
