ALGORITMA POLINOMIAL MINIMUM UNTUK MEMBENTUK MATRIKS DIAGONAL DARI MATRIKS PERSEGI
Authors: Mursyidah Himmatul
Published: May 2018

In mathematics, matrices have many uses, they are finding solutions of a linear equation system, looking for specific solutions of differential equations, determining state classification on Markov chains, and so on. There is a special matrix in matrix theory, that is a diagonal matrix. The diagonal matrix is a matrix whose all non-diagonal entries are primarily zero so that the product of the diagonal matrix can be computed by considering only the components along the main diagonal. A square matrix can sometimes be formed into a diagonal matrix. If a non-diagonal square matrix A can be conjugated with a diagonal matrix, then there is an invertible matrix P so PAP-1=D, where D is a diagonal matrix and P is said to diagonalize A. To find a square matrix diagonalizable or not, many researchers usually use eigenvalues and eigenvectors evaluation. In this study, we discuss that the other way to form a diagonal matrix by using Minimum Polynomial Algorithm.

Authors: Vidmant Oleg Sergeevich ,   Financial University  under the Government of the Russian Federation
Published: May 2018

The paper deals with the possibility of forecasting the closing prices of a volatile financial instrument (Close) by means of the special architecture of re-current neural networks (Long Short-Term Memory, LSTM). The set of data for the study is a sample of the time series of the Sberbank futures over a 2-year period in 5-minute intervals between observations. Based on the selected time series, sequences with a fixed offset window are formed, and the data used is normalized at [0 : 1] interval. In relation to the gener-ated data, neural network models consisting of two recurrent layers as well as two aggregation layers in forward propagation are applied. At the end of train-ing in the LSTM model, the predicted data and historical closing prices are compared. Their compari-son demonstrates that the recurrent neural network model based on the LSTM architecture is able to predict the behavior of the instrument on the finan-cial market.

Authors:   Financial University  under the Government of the Russian Federation, Orlova Natalia Leonidovna , Verzhak Veronika Afanasyevna ,   Financial University  under the Government of the Russian Federation
Published: May 2018

Labor migration is a comprehensive process involv-ing other resource components. There is a growing trend in the number of migrants. The working-age population is predominant in the overall migration flow. The coordination of stakeholders in reasonable labor force management is required. It is necessary to deal with the challenges of assessing the cultural environment, regulating the migration processes, and determining the development prospects of the regions with prevailing migration flows. These prob-lems can be solved by the establishment of a special institution. Therefore, the International Labor Organ-ization is to create a metaregion which is a global migration cluster. The clustering process extends to the regional and national levels. New approaches to the institutionalization of the migration process will facilitate the solution of problems in the field of la-bor migration and the effective labor force manage-ment.

Authors:   Financial University  under the Government of the Russian Federation, Osiptsova Nataliya Aleksandrovna
Published: May 2018

The relations between Russia and Venezuela on energy, the history of their cooperation and its de-velopment are discussed, as energy cooperation is one of the key activities for both countries. This issue is of high relevance to them in the context of international relations. Therefore, the development of mutual relations of the states in different periods is elaborated. The effective oil policy pursued by H. Chávez during his presidency and, at the same time, a significant dependence of the economy on the external environment are noted. Besides, the author reviewed the negative impact of the United States on the economic and political processes in Venezuela, especially since the coming to power of President N. Maduro, who continued President Chavez’s patriotic course, focused on national interests and the social sphere, and the choice of the Russian Federation as a strategic partner. The study demonstrates the pos-itive role of the Russian Federation in supporting Venezuela’s economy through the fuel sector and increasing the impact of cooperation among the countries that own the largest hydrocarbon reserves on the world energy market. This fact helps to reveal good prospects for the economic development of both countries.

Concerning the legal nature of concealment of crimes
Authors:   Krasnodar University of  the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Kustova Nadezhda Konstantinovna
Published: May 2018

The research considers the legal nature of conceal-ment of a crime based on doctrinal approaches, comparative legal and historical legal methods. The author emphasizes that the international community focuses on counteraction to concealment (launder-ing) of property that has been obtained illegally and is considered to be a form of concealment. The study analyzes the experience of French legislature in enshrining the definition of concealment of crimes in law as well as the aspects of its criminali-zation in criminal laws of Argentina, Jordan, and Germany. Based on the system analysis of the pro-visions of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federa-tion, it is concluded that concealment of a crime is a subinstitution of a larger criminal legal institution of involvement in a crime. The need to criminalize con-cealment in a broad sense is substantiated. It im-plies the concealment of traces, instrument and in-strumentalities of a crime, objects of a crime, a vic-tim along with a perpetrator. In addition to these findings, the author proposes updating the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation in order to enshrine a legal definition of concealment of a crime in the General Part of the Code.

Authors:   Baikal Institute of Nature Management,  Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Puntsukova Svetlana Dorzhievna
Published: May 2018

The study focuses on the ecological and economic problems of transboundary cooperation in forest management and forest protection between Russia and China. It substantiates the approaches to ana-lyzing and evaluating the integration processes in greening the economic activity. The structure of factors affecting integration processes is general-ized. The characteristics of the forest sector are giv-en, and the Sino-Russian integration schemes in the above-mentioned fields are revealed. The research analyzes the mechanisms and tools for promoting sustainable ecological and economic development of the territories under consideration. It is concluded that the partnership in forestry is unequal, since it is more consistent with China’s social and economic development while Russia faces the environmental risks of raw material development. Current mecha-nisms and instruments of environmental and eco-nomic policy in the field of forest management and forest protection of neighboring countries remain flawed. However, they provide the basis for address-ing the tasks of ecological and economic develop-ment of the territories inspired by the principles of the sustainable development.

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la relación entre el orden y los días de lactancia con la producción, composición y conteo de células somáticas (CCS) en leche de vacas Holstein, así como comprobar la eficacia de la prueba California para Mastitis (CMT) detectando alto CCS. Se tomaron muestras de leche del rebaño de la Hacienda Experimental de Iguatemi, Maringá-PR, en un periodo comprendido entre 2008 y 2009. Fueron realizados análisis de regresión utilizando el programa estadístico R (2009) con el fin de verificar el comportamiento de la producción y los componentes de la leche en función de los días y orden de lactancia utilizando la metodología de modelos lineares mixtos, considerando el animal y día de control lechero como aleatorios. Para evaluar la eficacia de la prueba de CMT para detectar alto CCS se consideró distribución binomial negativa para la variable respuesta, ya que los datos mostraron sobredispersión utilizando la metodología de modelos lineales generalizados. Se encontró que a medida que la producción de leche aumenta, el porcentaje de grasa en la leche disminuye, siendo diferente en cada orden de lactancia. El porcentaje de proteína aumenta con el periodo de lactación, mientas disminuye la producción. Se concluye que la producción y la calidad de la leche están estrechamente relacionadas con el orden y los días de lactación, la prueba CMT tiene relación positiva con el CCS.

Oral tradition of administrative texts in the Early Middle Ages. The aim of this article is to show how new approaches in diachronic linguistics contribute to the reflection on the orality of the Romance languages before these languages were put to writing. We trace marks of Latin/ Roman orality in a text written in Late Latin (even Medieval). Another goal is to demonstrate the importance of Medieval Latin texts as resources not only for historians but also for linguists. We also define the terms that appear in the title: orality, Early Middle Ages and administrative text. Access to a language spoken during that time allows us to better understand the passage from Latin to Romance languages. As for the new approaches in diachronic linguistics, we mention a recent publication of the Laboratoire de médiévistique occidentale de Paris, which clearly illustrates the synergy between linguists and historians in the field of the history of communication and linguistics. Finally, we show the example of the Italian charter of the eighth century which can be analysed in light of these new approaches – positive examination – and where we can see the traces of the spoken language – that can be named Legal acrolecte.
REZUMAT. Tradiție orală în texte administrative ale Evului Mediu timpuriu. Acest articol își propune să arate cum noile abordări în lingvistica diacronică pot contribui la discuția despre oralitatea limbilor romanice înainte ca acestea să cunoască o formă scrisă. Identificăm mărci de oralitate latină/ romanică într-un text redactat în latină târzie (chiar medievală). Un alt obiectiv este să demonstrăm importanța textelor scrise în latină medievală ca surse nu doar pentru istorici, ci și pentru lingviști. De asemenea, definim termenii din titlu: oralitate, Ev Mediu timpuriu și text administrativ. Accesul la limba vorbită în perioada respectivă ne permite să înțelegem mai bine trecerea de la latină la limbile romanice. În ceea ce privește noile abordări în lingvistica diacronică, menționăm o lucrare recentă elaborată la Laboratoire de médiévistique occidentale de Paris, ce ilustrează fără echivoc sinergia între lingviști și istorici în domeniul comunicării și al lingvisticii. Într-o ultimă etapă, aratăm exemplul unui document italian din secolul al VIII-lea (acrolect juridic), care poate fi analizat folosind aceste noi abordări (examinarea pozitivă) și în care putem identifica mărci ale limbii vorbite.

Towards an online folk linguistics: what kind of spoken language, what kind of genres? Our aim is to show that the internet is a fertile ground for creating new more or less spontaneous metalinguistic folk-genres. They might be interesting for discourse typology and texts about language, demonstrating – through the endless corpus – the emergence of a new folk linguistics. We conclude by stating that the orality of these text is special (computer mediated) and it is represented by a special writing system (electronic writing). Numerous individual versions make generalizations difficult, but they show the multiple representations users have on the relation between written and spoken language, in the context of a free internet.
REZUMAT. Spre o lingvistică populară în spaţiul virtual. Ce fel de oral, ce fel de genuri? Dorim să arătăm că Internetul se dovedeşte a fi un teren fertil pentru crearea de noi « genuri populare » (folk-genres) de tip metalingvistic, mai mult sau mai puţin spontane. Acestea pot interesa tipologia discursurilor şi a textelor referitoare la limbă, dovedind, prin « corpusul » nelimitat, emergenţa unei noi “lingvistici populare”. Vom conchide că oralitatea acestor texte reprezintă un oral aparte – mediat de calculator – şi redat printr-o scriitură aparte – scriitura electronică. Numeroasele versiuni individuale fac însă dificilă generalizarea, ele reflectă multiple reprezentări pe care utilizatorii, în spaţiul liberalizat al Internetului, le au asupra relaţiei scris-oral.

The unique nature of state’s activity to regulate audio-visual media
Authors: DARENDELİ A. Vahap
Published: May 2018

It is observed that there are very
important changes in the State organization and functions in our age. In the
State organization, structures different from the institutions in the classical
structure are being established in the form of Independent High Councils. Along
with being different from regulations on the right to freedom of speech and
right to information as well as the functions of other high councils that
regulate the market economy, the organizational structures and functions of
audio- visual media high councils, which have a different regulation function
than the written and internet media, are unique in this respect.

Moreover, non-state and transnational actors continue to become the
fundamental regulatory bodies in terms of problems of modern States. In this
context, the following conviction prevails; the State being as the most significant
kind of political organization cannot be contented with only regulating the
freedoms, it also needs to ensure their exercise, in other words, the State has
positive obligation on the rights. Therefore, concerning the audio-visual media
regulations, it must be considered normal, as part of the principle of the
administration's integrity, that some exceptional authorities be delegated to
Central administration of the modern State and other organs, along with the
high councils.

Authors: Soltaninejad Hamzeh , Vesal Nasser
Published: May 2018

OBJECTIVE To determine plasma concentrations of lidocaine after laryngeal administration or laryngeal and intratesticular administration in cats.

ANIMALS 14 healthy adult sexually intact male cats (7 cats/treatment).

PROCEDURES Cats were randomly allocated to receive 0.1 mL of 2% or 10% lidocaine hydrochloride solution (treatments L2 and L10, respectively) sprayed on the larynx for laryngeal desensitization, followed by endotracheal intubation and isoflurane anesthesia. After a 7-day washout period, cats were again randomly allocated to receive treatment L2 or L10, and castration was performed under isoflurane anesthesia following intratesticular administration of 2% lidocaine solution (0.1 mL/kg). In both experiments, a blood sample for measurement of plasma lidocaine concentration was obtained before (0 minutes) and 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, and 75 minutes after laryngeal administration of lidocaine solution. Anesthesia was discontinued at 60 minutes. Plasma lidocaine concentrations were measured with high-performance liquid chromatography.

RESULTS After treatments L2 and L10, median maximum plasma lidocaine concentrations were 34.1 ng/mL (range, 0 to 279.4 ng/mL) and 93.6 ng/mL (range, 79.3 to 182.2 ng/mL), respectively. Time to maximum plasma concentration was 10 minutes (range, 0 to 20 minutes) for each treatment. When cats received intratesticular lidocaine administration following L2 or L10 treatment, median maximum plasma concentration was 181.0 ng/mL (range, 103.7 to 600.2 ng/mL) and 301.2 ng/mL (range, 265.8 to 1,770.0 ng/mL), respectively.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE On the basis of these data, combined laryngeal and intratesticular administration of lidocaine solution at a total dose of approximately 5 mg/kg appears to be safe for use in healthy adult cats.

PROCEDURES High-resolution videography was used to film blinking behavior. Videotapes were analyzed for mean blink rate, number of complete versus incomplete blinks, number of unilateral versus bilateral blinks, and subjective descriptions of blinking patterns. One complete blink for each horse was analyzed with image-analysis software to determine the area of corneal coverage as a function of time during the blink and to calculate eyelid velocity and acceleration during the blink.

RESULTS Mean ± SD blink rate was 18.9 ± 5.5 blinks/min. Blinks were categorized as minimal incomplete (29.7 ± 15.6%), moderate incomplete (33.5 ± 5.9%), complete (30.8 ± 13.1%), and complete squeeze (6.0 ± 2.8%); 22.6 ± 9.0% of the blinks were unilateral, and 77.3 ± 9.1% were bilateral. Mean area of exposed cornea at blink initiation was 5.89 ± 1.02 cm2. Mean blink duration was 0.478 seconds. Eyelid closure was approximately twice as rapid as eyelid opening (0.162 and 0.316 seconds, respectively). Deduced maximum velocity of eyelid closure and opening was −16.5 and 7.40 cm/s, respectively. Deduced maximum acceleration of eyelid closure and opening was −406.0 and −49.7 cm/s2, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Kinematic variables of ophthalmologically normal horses were similar to values reported for humans. Horses had a greater percentage of complete squeeze blinks, which could increase tear film stability. Blinking kinematics can be assessed as potential causes of idiopathic keratopathies in horses.

The aim of the study was to extend the knowledge about the internal load of elite young soccer players in small sided games with different parameters in the category under 19 years. The group consisted of 16 elite soccer players under the age of 19. This team competed in the first league of the same age category We have monitored the time spent by players in bio-energy load zones (percentage of maximum heart rate), in small sided games with 2 players against 2, 3 against 3, with the size of the playing field of 25 × 18 meters and 30 × 25 meters. We used basic mathematical and statistical characteristics and Wilcoxon t-test for non-parametric selections. Our study confirmed that in the category under 19 years is valid that the larger number of players (3:3) in small sided games, indicates the players to spend more time in bio-energy zones 4 and 5. Direct correlation also applies to the size of the playing field, depending on the time spent in the load zones 4 and 5. The larger dimension of the pitch indicates to more time the players spend in bio-energy load zones, which is considered to be focal for us. If we want to use them as a way of complex training program (game training), then the small sided games are suitable training strategy.

The authors have evaluated the combined track-and-field events performed by the female students of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport of Comenius University in Bratislava (CU FPES) in the years 2013 – 2017. The combined track-and-field events are an obligatory part of the final Athletics examination in the teacher-training study program. The selected disciplines reflect the first day of the men’s decathlon with the exception of the last one, which is replaced by 800 m. The number of points in the combined event enters into the overall assessment of the subject Didactics of Athletics II together with an oral examination. The authors analysed not only the total number of points in the pentathlon but also in the individual disciplines and their percentage share in the final result. They have discovered that the shot put and high jump are among the most stable disciplines. The greatest variance of the percentage share in the overall number of points was observed in the 100 m dash, 800 m and in the long jump. The performance of a high number of students (almost two-thirds) came below the average performance in the particular year as expressed in points.
Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Sequence in Pentagonal Constructions of Medieval Architecture

The construction of the regular pentagon has always meant a difficult geometrical exercise for architects during the Middle Ages. As the correct drafting was forgotten after the Antiquity, several methods for its approximation had been invented in medieval times. As Golden Ratio appears between several parts of the regular pentagon, the role of the Fibonacci sequence in these approximate constructions is to be examined. The pentagonal drawing in the sketchbook of Villard de Honnecourt calls our attention to a possible way how medieval architects could have applied simple numerical ratios for getting angles they needed. The approximation of 72°, for instance, is likely to have been crucial for this pentagonal construction, as well as the approximation of Golden Ratio that could have been achieved by neighbouring pairs from Fibonacci’s sequence.
Attitudes toward newcomers from the city. The case of urban-rural fringe of Krakow
Authors: Pawlak Halina
Published: May 2018

Rural-urban areas are currently characterised by a high rate of economic development. One of the results of these changes is the inflow of urban populations, who are very different from the indigenous inhabitants. In spite of the move to a rural environment, they often preserve their customs and urban life styles; while, on the other hand, the indigenous inhabitants of rural areas tend to present traditional attitudes towards life. They are strongly attached to their land and identify with their place of residence. The author focuses on the attitudes expressed toward newcomers from Krakow and other metropolitan cities by the inhabitants of selected municipalities within the Krakow Metropolitan Area (KOM). The attitudes toward styles, ways of life, values, as well as preferences brought by the urban population were investigated.

Cada tipo de intoxicação apresenta um perfil de prevenção diferente que depende de variáveis como faixa-etária e sexo para ser eficiente, por isso estudar as características de cada tipo de intoxicação em regiões específicas ajuda na criação de políticas públicas de prevenção. O objetivo desse trabalho foi descrever o perfil epidemiológico de intoxicações exógenas notificadas pelos SUS no estado do Maranhão – Brasil entre os anos 2007 e 2015. Para tanto foram estudas todas as notificações de intoxicação exógenas disponíveis na plataforma DATASUS entre 2007 e 2015. As variáveis idade, sexo, município de notificação, agentes tóxicos e evolução da intoxicação foram estudas nos 2311 casos de intoxicação notificados. Os principais achados desse estudo indicam que os grupos mais acometidos por essas intoxicações são pessoas do sexo feminino, crianças entre 1 e 4 anos e adultos entre 20 e 39 anos. Os medicamentos estão entre os principais causadores de intoxicação exógena. Nos casos que evoluíram para óbito, os raticidas e os agrotóxicos são os mais notificados. Esses dados nos informam de uma atenção especial que precisa ser tomada com substâncias que aparentemente são inofensivas, mas que fazem parte da rotina dos maranhenses. Palavras-chave.
