Проаналізовано адміністративно-правові засади функціонування системи закладів охорони здоров’я при Міністерстві внутрішніх справ, які є елементом медичного забезпечення працівників Національної поліції України. Зазначено, що медичне забезпечення поліцейських виступає складовою такого загального явища, як соціальне забезпечення працівників органів внутрішніх справ. Наголошено, що дослідники називають соціальне забезпечення також соціальним захистом, однак зміст цих дефініцій залишається однаковим. Підкреслено, що медичне забезпечення не обмежується лише системою медичних заходів, яких уживають органи охорони здоров’я при МВС, також до нього належить діяльність керівних органів та підрозділів внутрішніх справ, спрямована на проведення оздоровчих або профілактичних заходів серед особового складу й усунення факторів, які шкідливо впливають на працездатність і здоров’я. Зокрема, Департамент охорони здоров’я та реабілітації реалізує державну політику МВС у сфері відомчої охорони здоров’я. Медичне забезпечення органів внутрішніх справ визначено як комплекс організаційних висококваліфікованих форм і методів медичної допомоги, матеріально-технічного забезпечення лікувально-профілактичних, санітарно-епідеміологічних та інших заходів, а соціальне забезпечення поліцейських – як сукупність державних гарантій та юридичних норм, які врегульовують питання соціального та матеріального забезпечення поліцейських у випадках втрати працездатності, набуття статусу інваліда, виходу на пенсію, виявлення захворювань, пов’язаних зі здійсненням професійних обов’язків або іншими обставинами, які передбачені спеціальними законами. До системи закладів охорони здоров’я при Міністерстві внутрішніх справ, згідно з Переліком закладів охорони здоров’я Міністерства внутрішніх справ України, затвердженим Наказом МВС, віднесено лікувально-профілактичні заклади, санітарно-профілактичні заклади, фармацевтичні заклади, медичні комісії у складі закладів охорони здоров’я МВС.

Taliban and Afghan peace process
Authors: Ishchenko Nikita S.
Published: September 2021

2021 is the year of the American and their allies troops withdrawal from Afghanistan after a 20-year stay. They are leaving the country under the Taliban control which was established impetuously and met with almost no serious resistance. It has happened all but a year after the launching of the inter-Afghan negotiations in Doha between Kabul and Taliban teams opened on September 12, 2020 which became a milestone in attaining the political settlement. 
Taliban perceives itself as a victor over both foreign contingent and the Ashraf Ghani’s regime which has come to the end immediately in the wake of NATO troops pullout. This fact is a point of concern for many Afghans and representatives of the international community that the new masters of the country will create a government system without taking into account interests of the other parts of the Afghan conflict. At the same time many experts agree that international community and the majority of Afghans can only recognize the legitimacy of Taliban if it refuses to monopolize power. 
If the Taliban leaders admit this approach, then in the near future they will have to negotiate with opponents in order to create an inclusive government, focusing on the political and diplomatic aspects of their activities. Over the past few years, Taliban has gained experience in such work, promoting itself at the international arena as a political force willing to achieve a peaceful solution. 
In this article we will look at the participation of Taliban political wing in the peace process since the start of the Doha negotiations and at the very first stage of their de facto power in Afghanistan in order to characterize Taliban representatives as negotiators and diplomats.
Post-islamism: features, processes and prospects
Authors: Khairullin Timur R.
Published: September 2021

The article is devoted to the analysis of such an ambiguous phenomenon as Post-Islamism, which emerged as an alternative to the ideas of Islamism that were subjected to the crisis in the 1990s. A distinctive feature of Post-Islamic ideas is their compatibility with the principles of democracy in a globalizing world. Unlike Islamism, Post-Islamism focuses on the rights of an individual instead of his duties. However, these progressive ideas could not become a full-fledged replacement for Islamism, since the decline in its popularity at the end of the XX century turned out to be temporary. The success of a number of Islamist parties in the parliamentary elections at the beginning of the XXI century became a confirmation of this.
The events of the Arab Spring have made significant adjustments to the ideological architecture of the region. In the wake of the fall of authoritarian regimes and the growth of democratic calls for the expansion of human rights and freedoms, Islamist movements from moderate to ultra-radical have intensified. Against the background of the victory of moderate Islamists in the parliamentary elections in Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco, they again started talking about the onset of a phase of Post-Islamism. However, the failures of the Islamists in achieving political power and creating an Islamic state are more a tactical shift in their policy than a strategic one. Few Islamist movements have abandoned their goal of creating an Islamic State with the full application of Islamic law.
Since Islamism is ambiguous, the boundaries between it and post-Islamism are still blurred and inaccurate. Despite this, post-Islamism is a more intellectual discourse about Islam and its place in the modern world and society.
Political situation in Thailand: authoritarianism versus democracy
Authors: Rogozhina Nataliya G.
Published: September 2021

The article analyzes the features of the current stage of political development in Thailand, which are characterized by the collision of two trends - authoritarianism and democracy, which resulted in the establishment of a quasi-democratic regime.
Despite the formal existence of democratic institutions of power - parliament, an independent court, and parties-none of them works for representative democracy, while maintaining their attachment to the interests of the traditional political establishment - the army, the bureaucracy, and big business. The article gives an assessment of the current political situation, which is characterized by the development of the democratic movement.
The lack of opportunities for the opposition to transit to democracy within the framework of the parliamentary struggle explains the growth of street protests with the participation of young people. The student unrest that has engulfed the country over the past year and a half is a response of the democratic-minded segments of society to the strengthening of authoritarianism in the country's governance, with the accompanying infringement of civil rights and freedoms. The demands made by the anti-government forces ultimately amount to the reform of the political system. Their call for reform of the institution of the monarchy should also be viewed from this perspective. However, the lack of a broad democratic coalition limits the influence of student protests on the government.
Assessing the prospects for the country's political development, the author comes to the conclusion that street protests alone will not change the status quo in politics. The potential influence of young people on the sphere of politics depends on mass support, which is possible only if the requirements put forward by them meet the social demand that forms the society.
SELM: Software Engineering of Machine Learning Models
Authors: Jafari Nafiseh , Besharati Mohammad Reza , Hourali Maryam
Published: September 2021

One of the pillars of any machine learning model is its concepts. Using software engineering, we can engineer these concepts and then develop and expand them. In this article, we present a SELM framework for Software Engineering of machine Learning Models. We then evaluate this framework through a case study. Using the SELM framework, we can improve a machine learning process efficiency and provide more accuracy in learning with less processing hardware resources and a smaller training dataset. This issue highlights the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to machine learning. Therefore, in this article, we have provided interdisciplinary teams’ proposals for machine learning.
Feature Reuse Across Software Releases During Software Evolution1
Authors: Boldak Cezary , Jarzabek Stanislaw , Seow Junling
Published: September 2021

Software evolution relies on storing component versions along with delta-changes in a repository of a version control tool such a centralized CVS in old days, or decentralized Git today. Code implementing various software features (e.g., requirements) often spreads over multiple software components, and across multiple versions of those components. Not having a clear picture of feature implementation and evolution may hinder software reuse which most often is concerned with feature reuse across system releases, and components are just means to that end. Much research on feature location shows how important and difficult is to find feature-related code buried in program components post mortem. We propose to avoid creating the problem in the first place, by explicating feature-related code in component versions at the time of their implementation. To do that, we complement traditional version control approach with generative mechanisms. We describe salient features of such an approach realized in ART (Adaptive Reuse Technology, http://art-processor.org), and explain its role in easing comprehending software evolution and feature reuse. Advanced commercial version control tools make a step towards easing the evolution problems addressed in this paper. Our approach is an alternative way of addressing the same problem on quite a different ground.
Formal and Automatic Security Policy Enforcement on Android Applications by Rewriting1
Authors: Ziadia Marwa , Mejri Mohamed , Fattahi Jaouhar
Published: September 2021

With the wide variety of applications offered by Android, this system has been able to dominate the smartphone market. These applications provide all kinds of features and services that have become highly requested and welcomed by users. Besides, these applications represent risky vehicles for malware on Android devices. In this paper, we propose a novel formal technique to enforce the security of Android applications. We start off with an untrusted Android application and a security policy, and we end up in a new version of the application that behaves according to the policy. To ensure the correctness of results, we use formal methods in each step of the process, either in the system and the security policy specification or in the enforcement technique itself. The target application is reverse-engineered to its assembly-like code, Smali. An executable semantics called k-Smali was defined for this code using a language definitional framework, called k Framework. Security policies are specified in LTL-logic. The enforcement step consists of integrating the LTL formula in the k-Smali program using rewriting. It aims to rewrite the system specification automatically so that it satisfies the requested formula.

Published: September 2021

Detecting anomalies in the traffic of computer networks is an important step in protecting and countering various types of cyber attacks. Among the many methods and approaches for detecting anomalies in network traffic, the most popular are machine learning methods that allow one to achieve high accuracy with minimal errors. One of the ways to improve the efficiency of anomaly detection using machine learning is the use of artificial neural networks of complex architecture, in particular, networks with long short-term memory (LSTM), which have demonstrated high efficiency in many areas. The paper is devoted to the study of the capabilities of LSTM neural networks for detecting network anomalies. It proposes using LSTM neural networks to detect network anomalies caused by cyber attacks to bypass Web Application Firewall vulnerabilities that are very difficult to detect by other means. For this purpose, it is proposed to use LSTM in conjunction with an autoencoder. The issues of software implementation of the proposed approach are considered. The experimental results obtained using the generated dataset confirmed the high efficiency of the developed approach. Experiments have shown that the proposed approach allows detecting cyber attacks in real or near real time.
A Massively Parallel Approach to Automated Software Correctness Enhancement in Java
Authors: Zakharchenko Aleksandr , Khaireddine Besma , Mili Ali
Published: September 2021

Software product faults are an inevitable and an undesirable byproduct of any software development. Often hard to detect they are a major contributing factor to the overall development and support costs and a source of technical risk for the application as a whole. The criticality of the impact has resulted in several decades of non-stop iterative improvements, aimed at avoiding and detecting the faults through development and application of sophisticated automated testing and validation systems, Finding the exact source of error, creating a patch to fix it and validating it for production release is still a highly manual activity. In this paper we build upon the theoretical framework of relative correctness, which we have laid out in our previous work, and present a massively parallel automated tool implementing it in order to support root cause analysis and patch generation.
Building Normalized Systems from Domain Models in Ecore
Authors: Suchánek Marek , Mannaert Herwig , Uhnák Peter , Pergl Robert
Published: September 2021

Normalized Systems (NS) theory describes how to design and develop evolvable systems. It is applied in practice to generate enterprise information systems using NS Expanders from models of NS Elements. As there are various well-established modelling languages, the possibility to (re-)use them to create NS applications is desired. This paper presents a mapping between the NS metamodel and the Ecore metamodel as a representant of essential structural modelling. The mapping is the basis of the transformation execution tool based on Eclipse Modeling Framework and NS Java libraries. Both the mapping and the tool are demonstrated in a concise case study but cover all essential Ecore constructs. During the work, several interesting similarities of the two metamodels were found and are described, e.g., its meta-circularity or ability to specify data types using references to Java classes. Still, there are significant differences between the metamodels that prevent some constructs from being mapped. The issues with information loss upon the transformation are mitigated by incorporating additional options that serve as key-value annotations. The results are ready to be used for any Ecore models to create an NS model that can be expanded into an NS application.
New Model for Handling Inconsistency Issues in DL-Lite Knowledge Bases
Authors: Hamdi Ghassen , Omri Mohamed Nazih
Published: September 2021

The lightweight description logic (DL-lite) represents one of the most important logic specially dedicated to applications that handle large volumes of data. Managing inconsistency issues, in order to effectively query inconsistent DL-Lite knowledge bases, is a topical issue. Since assertions (ABoxes) come from a variety of sources with varying degrees of reliability, there is confusion in hierarchical knowledge bases. As a consequence, the inclusion of new axioms is a main factor that causes inconsistency in this type of knowledge base. Often, it is too expensive to manually verify and validate all assertions. In this article, we study the problem of inconsistencies in the DL-Lite family and we propose a new algorithm to resolve the inconsistencies in prioritized knowledge bases. We carried out an experimental study to analyze and compare the results obtained by our proposed algorithm, in the framework of this work, and the main algorithms studied in the literature. The results obtained show that our algorithm is more productive than the others, compared to standard performance measures, namely precision, recall and F-measure.
Formal Event-B Modeling of the MICONIC Application
Authors: Ammar Sabrine , Bhiri Mohamed Tahar
Published: September 2021

Automatic planning has a de facto standard language called PDDL for describing planning problems. The dynamic analysis tools associated with this language do not allow sufficient verification and validation of PDDL descriptions. Indeed, these tools, namely planners and validators, allow a posteriori error detection. In this paper, we recommend a formal approach coupling the two languages Event-B and PDDL. Event-B supports a formal development process based on the refinement technique with mathematical proofs. Thus, we propose a refinement strategy for obtaining reliable PDDL descriptions from an ultimate Event-B model that is correct by construction. The correctness is guaranteed via the verification and validation tools supported by Event-B. We have chosen the MICONIC application managing modern elevators to illustrate our approach while recognizing that the MICONIC application is already modeled in PDDL without formal proof of its correctness.
Toward the Formalization of Business Process Model and Notation
Authors: Hounwanou Honoré , Boumlik Laila , Mejri Mohamed
Published: September 2021

Due to its versatility and wide variety of constructs, BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) is today the leading standard notation for creating visual models of business or organizational processes. It is a rich and expressive graphical language specially designed to provide a notation that is easily understood by all members of a company. Sometimes, however, this large number of controls and action nodes available can become a weakness since a given semantics can be represented in many ways, causing some ambiguity and raising the question of bisimilarity between two models. Today, it is universally recognized that formal methods are useful for the specification, design and verification of almost all systems, and essential for the most critical ones. On the other hand, the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL) is an executable language structured in blocks, supported by many execution platforms, making it possible to specify the actions in the business processes with Web services. Since BPMN and BPEL share almost the same level of abstraction, we present in this article a formalization of the BPMN language through a mapping to BPEL, aiming to remove its ambiguities, to solve the complex modeling and interaction problems and open the door to many formal analysis such as model checking. We first formalize the BPEL language using the K framework, we then map the BPMN language to this formalized version of BPEL. The K Framework is a rewriting/reachability based framework enabling language developers to formally define all programming languages. Once a language is formally specified in the K framework, the framework automatically outputs a range of formal verification tool sets, compilers, debuggers and other developer tools for it.
Improving Euclidean’s Consensus Degrees in Group Decision Making Problems Through a Uniform Extension
Authors: Tapia J.M. , Chiclana F. , Del Moral M.J. , Herrera-Viedma E.
Published: September 2021

In a Group Decision Making problem, several people try to reach a single common decision by selecting one of the possible alternatives according to their respective preferences. So, a consensus process is performed in order to increase the level of accord amongst people, called experts, before obtaining the final solution. Improving the consensus degree as much as possible is a very interesting task in the process. In the evaluation of the consensus degree, the measurement of the distance representing disagreement among the experts’ preferences should be considered. Different distance functions have been proposed to implement in consensus models. The Euclidean distance function is one of the most commonly used. This paper analyzes how to improve the consensus degrees, obtained through the Euclidean distance function, when the preferences of the experts are slightly modified by using one of the properties of the Uniform distribution. We fulfil an experimental study that shows the betterment in the consensus degrees when the Uniform extension is applied, taking into account different number of experts and alternatives.
A Deep Local and Global Scene-Graph Matching for Image-Text Retrieval
Authors: Nguyen Manh-Duy , Nguyen Binh T. , Gurrin Cathal
Published: September 2021

Conventional approaches to image-text retrieval mainly focus on indexing visual objects appearing in pictures but ignore the interactions between these objects. Such objects occurrences and interactions are equivalently useful and important in this field as they are usually mentioned in the text. Scene graph presentation is a suitable method for the image-text matching challenge and obtained good results due to its ability to capture the inter-relationship information. Both images and text are represented in scene graph levels and formulate the retrieval challenge as a scene graph matching challenge. In this paper, we introduce the Local and Global Scene Graph Matching (LGSGM) model that enhances the state-of-the-art method by integrating an extra graph convolution network to capture the general information of a graph. Specifically, for a pair of scene graphs of an image and its caption, two separate models are used to learn the features of each graph’s nodes and edges. Then a Siamese-structure graph convolution model is employed to embed graphs into vector forms. We finally combine the graph-level and the vector-level to calculate the similarity of this image-text pair. The empirical experiments show that our enhancement with the combination of levels can improve the performance of the baseline method by increasing the recall by more than 10% on the Flickr30k dataset. Our implementation code can be found at https://github.com/m2man/LGSGM.
Brain Tumor Classification Using Modified VGG Model-Based Transfer Learning Approach
Authors: Sharma Arpit Kumar , Nandal Amita , Zhou Liang , Dhaka Arvind , Wu Tao
Published: September 2021

This paper presents the detection of brain tumors by using the VGG16 approach for grading from multiphase MRI images. It also depicts the comparative analysis among several outcomes coming from different baseline neural networks and deep learning configurations. Machine learning directly uses MRI images, with few sequential operations among multiphase MRIs. This paper illustrates the process that influences the potential of the deep learning machine. Neural networks generally involve the convolutional neural networks (CNN) for achieving the optimum enhancement on grading performance. Such processes also include visualization of kernels trained in several layers and visualize few self-learned features attained from CNN. Such research shows the deep learning approach with its applications in brain tumor segmentation. Researchers found difficulty in the automatic segmentation of brain tumors that provide great variability in sizes and shapes. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging are the most widely used radiographic techniques in diagnosis, clinical studies, and treatment planning. The problems common to both CT and MR medical images are partial volume effect, different artifacts: example motion artifacts, ring artifacts, etc, and noise due to sensors and related electronic systems. In this paper, we propose an easy and unique segmentation process that provides competitive performance as well as speedy runtime for the evaluation of model performance in terms of loss and accuracy.
A BPM-Based Agile Approach to Ensure Adaptive Learning
Authors: Bergaoui Nisseb , Ayachi Ghannouchi Sonia
Published: September 2021

In agile, students learn through the gradual implementation of iterative projects with information exchanges between team members. Various research works focused on the assessment of innovative teaching methods to promote the acquisition of professional skills (e.g. project-based learning, active and collaborative learning, flipped classes, digital assisted training, etc.). In addition, adaptive learning is a pedagogical method favoring tailor-made e-learning to respond to the acquisition of certain skills, through the adaptation of pedagogical resources according to the learners’ needs. Therefore, to establish a model based on these different methods in order to benefit from their advantages, we based our work on the BPM (Business Process Management) approach, which constitutes the means of implementing the desired agility in the learning process. Thanks to such a cyclical and continuous improvement approach, the learning process will evolve and take into account not only new needs but also the specificities of each involved actor (learner or teacher).

Published: September 2021

Customer product reviews play a role in improving the quality of products and services for business organizations or their brands. Complaining is an attitude that expresses dissatisfaction with an event or a product not meeting customer expectations. In this paper, we build a Vietnamese Open-domain Complaint Detection dataset (UIT-ViOCD), including 5,485 human-annotated reviews on four categories about product reviews on e-commerce sites. After the data collection phase, we proceed to the annotation task and achieve the inter-annotator agreement (Am) of 87%. Then, we present an extensive methodology for the research purposes and achieve 92.16% by F1-score for identifying complaints. With the results, in future, we aim to build a system for open-domain complaint detection on E-commerce websites.
Similarity Learning for CNN-Based ASL Alphabet Recognition
Authors: Fierro Radilla Atoany Nazareth , Perez Daniel Karina Ruby , Benitez-Garcia Gibran , Najera Garcia Pedro , Fuentes Valdez Ramona
Published: September 2021

Sign language is an important communication way to convey information among the deaf community, and it is primarily used by people who have hearing or speech impairments. Besides, sign language represents a direct Human-Computer-Interaction (HCI) similar to voice commands. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate and develop a system for American Sign Language (ASL) alphabet recognition using convolutional neural networks. Our proposal is based on semantic similarity learning using Siamese Convolutional Neural Network to reduce the intra-class variation and inter-class similarity among sign images in a Euclidean space. The results of the siamese architecture applied to the ASL alphabet dataset outperform previous works found in the literature. From these results, using t-SNE visualization, we demonstrate that our hypothesis is correct; the ASL recognition improves when increasing the similarity among encoding of the images belonging to the same class and reducing it otherwise.

Panini’s Astadhyayi in the Eyes of Plant Invasion on Indian Subcontinent
Authors: Patil Dinkarrao Amrutrao
Published: September 2021

Indigenous plantlore is a manifestation in a given community, based on adaptation and wisdom of local people and environment. It develops over times and continues so also. This treasure of traditional knowledge is used to sustain the community and its bioculture. In long past, people of great understanding, christalized their wisdom in some treatises such as the Panini’s Astadhyayi. This treatise is understood and well known for the genesis and development of Sanskrit knowledge. Ancient Sanskrit scripts usually contain information concerning culture and sustenance based on plant world. The present author analysed it in view of plant invasion on Indian landmass in Panini’s time. Total 45 exotic plant species belonging to 44 genera and 29 angiospermic families are divulged from it. These belong to nearly all corners of the Old and New Worlds. Majority of them (28 species) are cultigens and still continue even in modern period in India. Of course, rest of them are wild, naturalised and presently constitute integral part of Indian biodiversity. The importance of such ancient treatises is dilated in this communication.

Fireweed (Urtica chamaedryoides) (Figure 1) is native to Florida, but has only recently become problematic. This winter annual species is commonly observed in north and central Florida pastures, particularly in bareground areas (near feeding pens and under fences) as well as along tree lines where forage grasses are less dense. It is particularly troublesome because it possesses stinging hairs that easily embed in skin. Once exposed to the toxin, severe irritation can occur for several hours.

Chapter 4: Seed Quality and Seeding Technology
Authors: Cushman Kent
Published: September 2021

Quality seed is defined as varietally pure with a high germination percentage, free from disease and disease organisms, with a proper moisture content and weight. Quality seed insures good germination, rapid emergence, and vigorous growth. These aspects translate to a good stand (whether greenhouse or field). Poor quality seed results in "skips," excessive thinning, or yield reductions due to overcrowding, all of which diminish profitability.
