Trust in Virtual Teams: A Multidisciplinary Review and Integration
Authors: Hacker Janine Viol , Johnson Michael , Saunders Carol , Thayer Amanda L.
Published: January 2019

Organizations have increasingly turned to the use of virtual teams (VTs) to tackle the complex nature of today’s organizational issues. To address these practical needs, VTs researchers from different disciplines have begun to amass a large literature. However, the changing workplace that is becoming so reliant on VTs comes with its own set of management challenges, which are not sufficiently addressed by current research on VTs. Paradoxically, despite the challenges associated with technology in terms of its disruption to trust development in VTs, trust is one of the most promising solutions for overcoming myriad problems. Though the extant literature includes an abundance of studies on trust in VTs, a comprehensive multidisciplinary review and synthesis is lacking. Addressing this gap, we present a systematic theoretical review of 124 articles from the disparate, multidisciplinary literature on trust in VTs. We use the review to develop an integrated model of trust in VTs. Based on our review, we provide theoretical insights into the relationship between virtuality and team trust, and highlight several critical suggestions for moving this literature forward to meet the needs of workplaces of the future, namely: better insight into how trust evolves alongside the team’s evolution, clarity about how to adequately conceptualize and operationalize virtuality, and greater understanding about how trust might develop differently across diverse types of virtual contexts with various technology usages. We conclude with guidelines for managing VTs in the future workplace, which is increasingly driven and affected by changing technologies, and highlight important trends to consider.

“Jailers in the Community”: Responsibilizing Private Citizens as Third-Party Police
Authors: Myers Nicole Marie
Published: January 2019

To ameliorate pre-trial risk and provide some insurance to the court, a surety – someone who agrees to supervise an accused while on bail and promises a sum of money if the accused fails to appear in court, commits an offence, or breaches a condition of their release – is required. Despite a legal framework that stipulates a presumption of release on unconditional bail, sureties are presumed to be required for most releases in Ontario. As an organizational risk management tool, sureties are responsibilized to take on a third-party policing function, offering the state access to private spaces for enhanced governance and surveillance. In assigning policing powers and responsibilities to private citizens, the state is extending its policing capacities, sharing its authority while simultaneously expanding its regulatory power.
Microstructure and oxidation of Ni–Fe2O3 composite coating on AISI 304 stainless steel
Authors: Abaei Mohsen , Zandrahimi Morteza , Ebrahimifar Hadi
Published: January 2019

Protective coatings can be used to enhance the performance of interconnects in solid oxide fuel cells. In the present work, AISI 304 steel was coated with Ni–Fe2O3 composite from a modified Watt's type electrolyte by electroplating. The composite coating's microstructure and composition were investigated by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Isothermal oxidation for 200 h in air at 850 °C converted the Ni–Fe2O3 composite coating to Fe2O3/NiFe2O4. The coating layer also decreased outward migration of chromium and the growth rate of a Cr2O3 layer, compared to an uncoated specimen.

Cu0.5FeNiVAl
x
high entropy alloys have been designed and prepared to study the microstructure and mechanical properties in as-cast and heat treated states. The as-cast Cu0.5FeNiV alloy is mainly composed of fcc and σ phases. With the increase in Al, the phase composition gradually changes to the fcc + bcc structure. In the Cu0.5FeNiVAl
x
alloy system, the compressive strength (1 801 MPa) of Cu0.5FeNiVAl0.5 alloy is the best, and the Cu0.5FeNiVAl1.2 alloy has the highest hardness (694 HV). In order to improve its strength, the Cu0.5FeNiVAl0.5 alloy was annealed at 500 °C, 750 °C and 1 000 °C for 10 h, respectively. The highest compressive strength (2 154 MPa, increased by 20 % compared to the as-cast state) is reached at 750 °C annealing temperature. Meanwhile, the microhardness is increased from 516 HV to 670 HV, an increase of 30 % relative to the as-cast one. Study of the heat treatment process on the mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys contributes to the transformation of these materials from the laboratory research stage to the practical production stage.

An Android Application for Estimating Muscle Onset Latency using Surface EMG Signal
Authors: Karimpour M , Parsaei H , Rojhani Z , Sharifian R , Yazdani F
Published: January 2019

Background: Electromyography (EMG) signal processing and Muscle Onset Latency (MOL) are widely used in rehabilitation sciences and nerve conduction studies. The majority of existing software packages provided for estimating MOL via analyzing EMG signal are computerized, desktop based and not portable; therefore, experiments and signal analyzes using them should be completed locally. Moreover, a desktop or laptop is required to complete experiments using these packages, which costs.Objective: Develop a non-expensive and portable Android application (app) for estimating MOL via analyzing surface EMG.Material and Methods: A multi-layer architecture model was designed for implementing the MOL estimation app. Several Android-based algorithms for analyzing a recorded EMG signal and estimating MOL was implemented. A graphical user interface (GUI) that simplifies analyzing a given EMG signal using the presented app was developed too.Results: Evaluation results of the developed app using 10 EMG signals showed promising performance; the MOL values estimated using the presented app are statistically equal to those estimated using a commercial Windows-based surface EMG analysis software (MegaWin 3.0). For the majority of cases relative error <10%. MOL values estimated by these two systems are linearly related, the correlation coefficient value ~ 0.93. These evaluations revealed that the presented app performed as well as MegaWin 3.0 software in estimating MOL.Conclusions: Recent advances in smart portable devices such as mobile phones have shown the great capability of facilitating and decreasing the cost of analyzing biomedical signals, particularly in academic environments. Here, we developed an Android app for estimating MOL via analyzing the surface EMG signal. Performance is promising to use the app for teaching or research purposes.
Beraten statt Archivieren. Wie öffentlich Beschäftigte ihr Wissen am Arbeitsplatz teilen
Authors: Fischer Caroline
Published: January 2019

Dieser Artikel untersucht das Teilen von Wissen durch Beschäftigte im öffentlichen Sektor. Wissensteilung ist die zentrale Voraussetzung für das organisationale Wissensmanagement. Es wurde eine Typologie entwickelt, die als Analyseraster vier Verhaltensweisen, Wissen zu teilen, unterscheidet (Berichten, Archivieren, Beraten, Hinweisen). Mithilfe von Daten aus drei Studien (qualitativ und quantitativ) wird beschrieben, wie Mitarbeiter im öffentlichen Sektor ihr Wissen teilen. Dies wurde in der Literatur bisher außer Acht gelassen. Die identifizierten Verhaltensweisen sind mehrheitlich responsiv, statt proaktiv, und richten sich direkt an Wissensnehmer, statt an ein Trägermedium. Sie können daher in der vorgeschlagenen Typologie als beratendes Verhalten eingestuft werden. Das ist weniger ressourcenaufwändig für die Wissensgeber, wirkt sich aber negativ auf die langfristige Speicherung und Auffindbarkeit von Wissen in einer Organisation aus.
Street-Level Bureaucrats und Intermediäre: Beziehung auf Augenhöhe?
Authors: Döring Matthias , Löbel Stephan
Published: January 2019

Der Artikel untersucht die Beziehung zwischen Verwaltung und Intermediären, also von Klienten beauftragte Dritte, die die Interaktion mit den Verwaltungen übernehmen. Hierbei wird die ambivalente Rolle diskutiert, die diese Intermediäre im Zusammenwirken mit den Street-Level Bureaucrats (SLB) einnehmen. Auf Basis einer vergleichenden Fallstudie zweier Politikfelder werden Faktoren identifiziert, die die Interaktion zwischen beiden Akteuren charakterisieren. Auf Basis einer transaktionskostentheoretischen Perspektive werden vor allem die Spezialisierung und die Aggregationsfunktion von Intermediären als Vorteile für SLB identifiziert, wodurch Prozesse schneller und effizienter abgewickelt werden können. Darüber hinaus prägen aber vor allem zwei Faktoren die Interaktion maßgeblich: Das Selbstbild der Street- Level Bureaucrats sowie das Vertrauen in den Intermediären. Das dynamische Zusammenspiel dieser Faktoren wird in der vorliegenden Studie beschrieben.
Von der hierarchischen Politikverflechtung zur differenzierten Verwaltungszentralisierung: Die Reform der Bundesfernstraßenverwaltung 2017
Authors: Fischer Torben , Pennekamp Malte
Published: January 2019

Im Zuge der Bund-Länder-Finanzreform 2017 wurde auch die Bundesfernstraßenverwaltung neu organisiert. Zukünftig liegt die Kompetenz für die Verwaltung der Bundesautobahnen direkt beim Bund, während für die Bundesstraßen die Bundesauftragsverwaltung weiterhin Bestand hat. Damit wandelt sich die Struktur der Bund-Länder- Kooperation im Bereich der Bundesfernstraßen von einer hierarchischen Politikverflechtung zu einem System differenzierter Verwaltungszentralisierung. Die neue Verflechtungsstruktur ist durch straßenklassenbezogene Unterschiede hinsichtlich der Wahrnehmungs- und Verwaltungskompetenzen des Bundes und der Einfluss- und Steuerungsmöglichkeiten gegenüber den Ländern gekennzeichnet, ohne jedoch zu einer umfassenden Verfahrens- und Aufgabenentflechtung zwischen Bund und Ländern zu führen. Vor diesem Hintergrund sind auch die Auswirkungen der Reform auf die Leistungsfähigkeit der Bundesfernstraßenverwaltung differenziert zu bewerten, da das in Politik und Wissenschaft bisher dominierende Argument der Leistungssteigerung durch Verwaltungszentralisierung nur auf einen Teilbereich bzw. Teilaufgaben der reformierten Bundesfernstraßenverwaltung zutrifft und durch die differenzierte Zentralisierung potentiell neue Konfliktstrukturen, Effizienzhemmnisse und politische Legitimationsprobleme entstehen.
Die infrastrukturelle Umsetzung der Energiewende
Authors: Canzler Weert
Published: January 2019

Die Energiewende umfasst neben dem Ausstieg aus der Kernkraft eine weitgehende Dekarbonisierung aller Energiesektoren, einen Anteil von Erneuerbaren Energien (EE) von mindestens 60 Prozent am Gesamtenergieverbrauch sowie eine dramatische Steigerung der Energieeffizienz bis zur Mitte des 21. Jahrhunderts. Sie bedeutet einen Paradigmenwechsel von einem anbieterzentrierten fossilen Energiesystem mit wenigen Großkraftwerken hin zu einem verteilten und nur bedingt steuerbaren Energiesystem auf der Grundlage fluktuierend einspeisender Photovoltaik- und Windenergieanlagen. Die infrastrukturelle Umsetzung der Energiewende folgt diesem neuen Paradigma. Eine entscheidende Herausforderung besteht darin, die dauerhafte und breite gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz der Energiewende sicherzustellen. Denn die künftige Energieversorgung wird „sichtbarer“, der benötigte Flächenbedarf für EE-Anlagen wird steigen. Die infrastrukturelle Umsetzung der Energiewende ist vor diesem Hintergrund keine exklusive Aufgabe von Netzexperten und Energietechnikern, sondern sie bedarf einer Berücksichtigung der Interessen und des Engagements möglichst vieler Bürgerinnen und Bürger. Hierfür bietet ein dezentrales Infrastrukturmodell wie der „zellulare Ansatz“ eine viel versprechende Perspektive. Allerdings sind die Voraussetzungen für eine breite materielle Partizipation und eine flexible Governance erst noch zu schaffen.
Von der Chancengleichheit zur managerialen Selbstmobilisierung. Über die diskursive Adaption der „interkulturellen Öffnung“ im schweizerischen Verwaltungskontext
Authors: Piñeiro Esteban , Koch Martina , Pasche Nathalie
Published: January 2019

Ende der 1990er Jahre gewinnt in der Schweiz das integrationspolitische Reformkonzept der „Interkulturellen Öffnung der Verwaltung“ an Bedeutung. Damit soll zum einen der Zugang der ausländischen Bevölkerung zu Dienstleistungen öffentlicher Einrichtungen verbessert, zum anderen der chancengleiche Zugang zu Arbeitsstellen im staatlichen Sektor gewährleistet werden. Unsere genealogische Analyse des Verwaltungsdiskurses zeigt, wie die institutionelle Logik der „Interkulturellen Öffnung“ im Zeichen einer modernen Verwaltungsführung managerial adaptiert und in Verbindung mit Diversity Management produktiv gewendet wird. Die „Interkulturelle Öffnung“ folgt nun einem pragmatischen Effizienzdenken und einer unternehmerischen Logik, um letztlich den Umgang mit einer ausländischen Kundschaft effektiver und effizienter zu gestalten. Die integrationspolitischen Ziele der Chancengleichheit und Antidiskriminierung geraten dabei in den Hintergrund.
Akteure in Sekretariaten internationaler Organisationen. Das OECD-Sekretariat im Kontext der Policy Coherence for Development-Debatte
Authors: Zeigermann Ulrike
Published: January 2019

Mit dem zunehmend transnationalen Charakter komplexer politischer Probleme rücken Akteure internationaler Verwaltungen immer stärker in den Fokus. Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Interaktionen von Akteuren am Beispiel der Policy Coherence for Development-Abteilung der OECD und fragt, ob es sich dabei um einen Entrepreneur in der internationalen Kohärenzdebatte handelte. Das Hauptaugenmerk liegt somit auf dem OECD-Sekretariat, wo die Kohärenzidee bereits seit 1990 verankert ist. 2015 wurde Policy Coherence for Development zuletzt im Rahmen der globalen Agenda 2030 für Nachhaltige Entwicklung von Staats- und Regierungschefs bestätigt. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass die Kohärenzabteilung im Generalsekretariat der OECD in vielschichtigen internationalen Entscheidungsprozessen zu Kohärenzfragen sowohl organisationsintern als auch -extern zunehmend autonom agierte und dabei wechselnde Rollen als Entrepreneur und Broker einnahm. Dadurch soll schließlich zu einem besseren Verständnis dynamischer Interaktionsformen von Akteuren der internationalen Verwaltung beigetragen werden.

Published: January 2019

Traumatic injury of the peripheral nerves should be treated in specialized centres. This study presents the epidemiological data of 1368 consecutive patients operated for peripheral nerve injuries beside the Service of neurosurgery, Department of Neurosciences, UHC "Mother Theresa", Tirana. In order to obtain the necessary data for this study we revised the clinical records, surgical registers and pre, intra and postoperative photo/video of the cases operated for peripheral nervous system injuries. A data recording program of the surgery cases was built ad hoc, categorizing the cases according to several variables. The data collected from the operated cases were manually inserted to be processed by the program. Results of informatics elaboration of the data were obtained, reviewed and categorized by: age, gender, type of trauma, localization of injury and type of nerve repair. Future studies to be conducted in this field will focus in determining the level of nerve injury, time from the injury to intervention, distance from the site of trauma to the effector organ. The data will build necessary information for data mining, which based on these important factors that influence the result of nerve repair, will be useful for the prediction of the result in new patients harbouring peripheral nerve injury before undergoing surgery.
Solitary Cecal Diverticulitis During Surgery for Acute Appendicitis.
Authors: Bode Rovena , Braholli Eriol , Haxhiu Asfloral , Draçini Xheladin , Çeliku Etmont
Published: January 2019

Background: Caecal diverticulitis is an unusual condition that presents clinically similar to appendicitis. The diagnosis is not always easy and in the majority of cases, it is usually made at laparotomy. The aim of the present study is to retrospectively report our personal experience with solitary caecal diverticulitis, to determine its incidence in patients presenting as an acute abdomen, as well as identify the symptoms and clinical features that may aid in making a pre-operative diagnosis. And to compare this with a review of the literature, focusing on the surgical treatment and also on the indication of appendectomy in the presence of caecal diverticulitis not requiring surgery.

Materials and methods: Data was collected in patients hospitalized for acute appendicitis or acute abdomen, in the surgical emergency unit of University Hospital Center "Mother Teresa" of Tirana, in a period of 3 years (2015-2017). Sex, age, duration of symptoms, preoperative diagnosis, management, intraoperative findings, histologic examination, length of hospital stay and complications of allpatients affected by solitary caecal diverticulitis were reviewed.

Results: In the study period, 15 patients presented with a solitary caecal diverticulitis. Most of patients had pain in the right iliac fossa, with a duration of 2–6 days. All patients presented with abdominal pain, additional symptoms were nausea, vomiting and fever. The mean white blood cell count was from 8500-19.200/mm3, while the remaining laboratory results were normal. There were no specific findings on abdominal X-ray or ultrasonography. Intraoperative findings ranged from localized /circumscript peritonitis to generalised peritonitis due to acute diverticulitis and a normal appendix. Surgery ranged from diverticulum resection accompanied to appendectomy, to ileocaecal resection, and right hemicolectomy.

Conclusions: Cecal diverticulitis should be included in the differen­tial diagnosis of the cases with pain in the right lower quadrant. Preoperative diagnosis of caecal diverticulitis cannot always be made, since the signs and symptoms are similar to acute appendicitis, but is impor­tant in order to decide how to manage this condition.Diverticulectomy and incidental appendectomy are the preferred method of treatment in uncomplicated cases. Right hemicolectomy is a recommended treatment option in complicated patients or those suspicious for tumor during surgery.

Educate and train emergency medical professionals with basic and advanced trauma training courses, especially the hospital and prehospital level, and be incorporated as a first class subject at all levels of school.
Timing of Cholecystectomy in Mild Acute Biliary Pancreatitis.
Authors: Alimoğlu Orhan , Colapkulu Nuray , Eren Tunç
Published: January 2019

Acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) is one of the most common gastrointestinal events that requires acute admission to the hospital with considerable risks of mortality & morbidity. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has become the gold standard for the treatment of ABP. Our aim was to determine the safety of cholecystectomy during the first admission by performing a review of the current literature. Waiting for 6 - 8 weeks to perform cholecystectomy may result with an increased incidence of recurrent ABP attacks, which may increase morbidity and the length of the hospital stay. On the contrary, cholecystectomy during the index admission for mild ABP appears to be a preferable and safe approach with better surgical outcomes providing a definitive treatment.

Published: January 2019

Chronic wounds represent an enormous health, social and economic burden in modern society. With the increasing incidence of diabetes and obesity as well as the ageing of the population, we correspondingly expect a rise in the incidence of chronic wounds. The latter will reflect in an even heavier burden for individuals, their families and the society. At the General Hospital Dr. Jože Potrč Ptuj we devote a lot of time dealing with this issue, because we are aware of the impact that the chronic wounds have on the quality of life of affected patients. We have been taking care of patients with chronic wounds for several years in the ambulatory and hospital setting. In the article we present our organizational model in the treatment of patients with chronic wounds at General Hospital Dr. Jože Potrč Ptuj. We present the modern approaches in the treatment of chronic wounds at our hospital, our results in the treatment of chronic wounds supported with clinical cases. The key to successful management of patients with chronic wounds are good knowledge, team work and an individual approach to each patient.

The great achievement of mankind was the appearance of a printed book that not only significantly expanded the circle of readers, but also in comparison with the handwritten book contributed to the unification of canonical texts, in particular, such as Scripture, church service books, works of the Church Fathers, polemical and other religious literature. Consideration of the words "Japanese typography as the basis for the preservation and transmission of sources of Christian literary culture requires a brief description of the essence of printing, not only as a means of mechanical reproduction of the text, but also a remarkable cultural-historical phenomenon.
The reason for the crisis of Ukrainian Orthodoxy in 1941-1944
Authors: Stokolos Nadiya
Published: January 2019

Restoration of religious life, the formation of an autocephalous Orthodox church in the occupied German troops, Ukraine faced a number of foreign-policy and domestic problems. First of all, it is about the approach of different personalities and groups of Orthodox hierarchs to their solution. At that time, there were two irreconcilable, antagonistic concepts - Metropolitan of Warsaw Dionysius (Valledinsky) and Archbishop of Kholmsky and Podlyassky Hilarion (Ogienko). It should be noted at the outset that both these hierarchs were in Poland, which was declared by the General Governorate of Hitler and actually bordered by the Germans occupied by Ukrainian lands, most of which were included in the "Reichscommissariat Ukraine". It was in these occupational administrative formations, under the direct guidance of Hitler and his close circle, that the whole range of Ukrainian problems - political, economic, national, cultural, and church - was solved. Ukrainian Orthodox circles and their leaders have long hoped for the invaders' good will to solve Ukrainian problems and, for the most part, tried to act on the basis of their own concepts of governance of church life. All of them, as time showed, were, to a greater or lesser extent, peculiar "ideas - fixed", since they contradicted the principled vision of the solution of the church issue in Ukraine by the German invaders.
Christian unity: the search for ways to achieve
Authors: Reshetnikov Yu. Ye.
Published: January 2019

Last year, the anniversary of all Christianity, witnessed a number of significant events caused by a new interest in understanding the problem of the unity of the Christian Church on the turn of the millennium. Due to the confidentiality of Ukraine, some of these events have or will have an immediate impact on Christianity in Ukraine and on the whole Ukrainian society as a whole. Undoubtedly, the main event, or more enlightened in the press, is a new impetus to the unification of the UOC-KP and the UAOC. But we would like to focus on two documents relating to the problem of Christian unity, the emergence of which was almost unnoticed by the wider public. But at the same time, these documents are too important as they outline the future policy of other Christian denominations by two influential Ukrainian christian churches - the Russian Orthodox Church and the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church. These are the "Basic Principles of the attitude of the Russian Orthodox Church to the" I ", adopted by the Anniversary Bishops' Council of the Russian Orthodox Church, and the Concept of the Ecumenical Position of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, adopted by the Synod of the Bishops of the UGCC. It is clear that the theme of the second document is wider, but at the same time, ecumenism, unification is impossible without solving the problem of relations with others, which makes it possible to compare the approaches laid down in the mentioned documents to the building of relations with other Christian confessions.

Women's deities in the religions of the Abrahamic tradition
Authors: Nedzelska N. I.
Published: January 2019

It is not objectionable in modern science that the woman was deified earlier than her husband, and the sacred books of religions of the Abrahamic tradition capture the next stage of society's development: the transition to a new way of farming and the rule of man in all spheres of life. Judaism and Islam did not recognize the cult of the goddesses and always struggled with it. For the Jews, Yahweh (or Yahweh) was both a patron of women. In Judaism, a woman does not actively participate in religious life. It is not necessary here, because its vital activity is itself a religious one. The functions of a woman in a family are identical to religious service. Each Jewish woman is a Goddess. Like God, she creates a man and she is unnecessary intercessor to the outside world. A man has to pray for her, for she is, by his very nature, the leader of the will of God.
Muslim interpretation of messianism
Authors: Sheludchenko O.
Published: January 2019

Muslim origin arose in the VI century as a branch of Old Testament monotheism, as well as a reaction to the Jewish-Christian tradition. The founder of Islam, the Prophet Mohammed, was not for the Muslims God, embodied in the image of man. Islam denied the rebellion as in principle a false idea. Allah was recognized as the only and absolute God, which in any way could not be embodied in the image of man through his absolute transcendence. Therefore, according to the Muslims, Christ was only a prophet, but not crucified on the cross by God.
Globalization and interconfessional communications

Published: January 2019

In the 21st century, the world became a sign of globalization: global conflicts, global disasters, global economy, global Internet, etc. The Polish researcher Casimir Zhigulsky defines globalization as a kind of process, that is, the target set of characteristic changes that develop over time and occur in the modern world. These changes in general are reduced to mutual rapprochement, reduction of distances, the rapid appearance of a large number of different connections, contacts, exchanges, and to increase the dependence of society in almost all spheres of his life from what is happening in other, often very remote regions of the world.
The question of hell and underworld

Published: January 2019

In our time, for some reason, it is commonly believed that the Ukrainian language does not use the word "ad" for the reason that it, firstly, is probably Russian and in the Ukrainian vocabulary it has never been, and secondly, on the basis that exists his match is -please. In other words, the position advocated, according to which in the Ukrainian language the Greek word-guade (hell) stands out exclusively the word -plex. However, observing the etymology of the Ukrainian word - hell (more specifically, it is a matter of going somewhat below), we note that it is not always possible to speak in its content.

This paper considers circular antenna arrays comprised of symmetrical dipole radiators applied in communication, navigation and monitoring systems. Despite their widespread use, a number of significant issues is underinvestigated. Among them are frequency dependence of the antenna factor (the ratio of the electric field intensity module to the voltage amplitude at the load connected to the output terminals) of the circular antenna array elements in the correct electrodynamic setting. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the antenna factor frequency dependence of a single dipole antenna with different geometry and load both in free space and as circular antenna element. The estimation of phase difference error between the circular antenna array elements caused by their cross coupling is also of interest.

Specific expressions are obtained for the antenna factor of the dipole antenna for single-mode and three-mode approximations. The limits of their applicability in frequency band are considered. The solution to the coupled integral equations is obtained using the Galerkin method with piecewise sinusoidal current distribution and with an arbitrary number of basis functions for eight- and four-element circular antenna array. This solution may be generalized to an arbitrary number of circular antenna array elements. It is demonstrated that to improve the antenna factor frequency dependence it is advisable to use dipole antennas with high-resistance load, as well as with large diameter. Phase errors for different circular antenna array element signals are considered with respect to the reference element. The dependence of these phase errors on the circular antenna array geometry is presented. It is concluded that there are significant oscillations of the antenna factor when the dipole is the part of the circular antenna array. They are caused by cross coupling between the circular antenna array elements, which significantly depend on the element spacing. The results presented may be of interest to phase direction finder development engineers.

The study object is the search procedure for a ground-based radionavigation system signal using noise-like discrete signals with a long baseline. A comparative analysis of the signal search quality indicators is carried out, which is the most time-consuming procedure with different navigation signal modulation formats in the worst-case conditions and with a limited frequency resource allocated to the system. Bandwidth efficiency of noise-like signals (NLS) with phase shift keying (PSK) and minimal frequency shift keying (MFSK) are analyzed. Relations are obtained for the average maximum search time of the navigation signal with a fixed probability of correct search completion. The qualitative indicators of the search procedure for PSK and MFSK are compared for the same band pass effectiveness and elementary symbol duration. The analysis results show that under the conditions of equal restrictions on the occupied frequency range and the same requirements for the search procedure reliability, NLS MFSK search is effective and implementable at much lower time costs than NLS with traditional binary PSK.
TORSIONAL WAVE SCATTERING IN TWO-LAYER PIPE WITH ACCOUNT FOR CONTACT RIGIDITY
Authors: Abbakumov Konstantin E. , Stepanenko Nikolay V.
Published: January 2019

The purpose of the paper is to study the wave propagation in a two-layer pipe, taking into account the rigidity of the contact between its layers. It is considered by solving the equation of motion for the vector and scalar potentials. A dispersion equation describing the frequency distribution of the phase velocities of waves in the waveguide under investigation is derived. In order to take into account the degree of contact rigidity between layers additional terms are added to the boundary conditions, including the normal (kGN) and tangential (kGT) contact rigidity coefficients. It is shown that torsional waves are separated from other types of waves and can be considered separately. The example of a numerical solution of the dispersion equation shows the possible behavior of dispersion curves without regard to the contact rigidity. The similar problem solution is provided with allowance for contact rigidity at various perforation coefficients. A conclusion is drawn on the effect of contact between layers on torsional wave behavior. The similar method solves the problem for a homogeneous pipe with internal stratification. Recommendations are given for taking into account the revealed regularities in the development of ultrasonic methods of control based on torsional wave propagation.

This article discusses the role of University of Nahdlatul Ulama Sunan Giri Bojonegoro in an effort to prevent corruption in the young generation of today. Corruption is the greatest form of enemy of any nation especially in Indonesia. Therefore, nowadays, corruption prevention efforts have been intensified to minimize corruption cases in this country. Prevention efforts through instilling anti-corruption character education as well as religious knowledge from an early age to the next generation teach that in Islamic law it is said that corruption is a bad deed or misappropriation of funds, authority and time for personal gain so as to cause harm to others or in short is to take something not our rights. Therefore we can start from the campus because the campus is the most intensive training place for the prevention of corruption. Students have an important role in the movement of the nation, including the prevention of corruption. combating corruption is indeed difficult but it would be better to build students who have anti-corruption character

The purpose of the research was to clarify the effect of chicken broilers feeding in the composition of mixed fodder with Vitamins E and C on the cellular link of non-specific resistance of the organism and, in particular, the parameters of pseudoiesinophils phagocytosis in blood. The research was carried out on chickens broiler – 308 grown in the farm “Fedyuk M” in the Zolochiv district of Lviv region. The keeping of the chickens was cellular with free access to feed and water. Experiments were conducted in 4 groups of broiler chickens of 100 chicks in each according to the scheme: the control group was fed with the standard feed (SC) according to the existing norms recommended for the cross ROSS-308; the first experimental group in addition to the SC received vitamin Е 1g/10 kg of mixed fodder; the second experimental group received vitamin C 2.5 g/10 kg of mixed fodder; the third experimental groups in addition to the ration received Vitamin C 2.5 g/10 kg and Vitamin E 1 g/10 of mixed fodder. For carrying out of immunological researches in chickens blood was taken in different age periods: 27-, 34- and 41-day-old age. In the whole blood, the phagocytic activity of pseudoiesinophils (FA), phagocytic index (FI) and phagocytic number (FF) were determined. For research, the daily culture of Escherichia coli (strain VKM-125) was used. The stimulatory effect of vitamins E and C in the composition of mixed fodder for chicken broiler broilers on the indices of pseudoiesinophils phagocytosis of blood was determined. As evidenced by a significantly higher phagocytic activity, phagocytic index and phagocytic count of pseudoiselinophils in blood of chickens in the experimental groups by comparison with the control group. At the same time there was a direct correlation between phagocytic activity and phagocytic index and index in blood of chickens broiler in experimental groups. At the same time, the ability of blood pseudoiesinophils to phagocytosis of microbial cells was higher in chicken broilers, which were fed with vitamin E and C.
