Capturing public insights related to transit systems in social media has gained huge popularity presently. The regional transportation agencies use social media as a tool to provide information to the public and seek their inputs and ideas for meaningful decision making in transportation activities. This exploratory study attempts to gauge the impact of social media use in transportation planning that in turn would help transportation administration in identifying the day-to-day challenges faced by the customers and to suggest a suitable solution. This paper presents the effect of pre-processing techniques on transit opinion analysis to improve the performance. Performance of different pre-processing methods namely stop word removal, stemming, lemmatization, negation handling and URL removal using feature representation models namely TF-IDF with unigram, TF-IDF with bigram on three feature selection techniques including information gain, standard deviation and chi-square on social media transit rider’s opinion is carried out. The experimental results are evaluated using four different classifiers such as Support vector machine, Naïve Bayes, Decision Tree, K-Nearest Neighborhood in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and f-measure. On analyzing the social media related transit opinion data, it is observed that pre-processing with bigram technique performs better than the other approaches specifically with Support Vector Machine and Naïve Bayes.

Dalam proses pengelasan, bagian yang di las menerima panas setempat yang mengakibatkan pengembangan termal, sedangkan bagian yang dingin tidak mengalami perubahan sehingga dapat mengakibatkan ketidak seragaman regangan, hal ini juga berpengaruh terhadap perubahan struktur yang terkandung didalamnya. Maka dari itu pemelihan jenis elektroda serta media pendingin sangat berpengaruh terhadap kekuatan tarik benda dan juga perubahan kandungan struktur yang terjadi di dalamnya. Berdasarkan analisa yang dilakukan, untuk jenis elektroda E6013 NK dengan media pendingin berupa oli, udara, dan air laut, nilai kekuatan tarik tertinggi pada media pendinginan udara yaitu sebesar 57.016 kg/mm². Sedangkan untuk jenis elektroda E7018 LB, kekuatan tarik rata-rata tertinggi justru pada jenis pendinginan air laut yang mencapai nilai tegangan tarik hingga 55.228 kg/mm². Kandungan Hidrogen rendah sangat baik untuk mencegah deoksidasi pada saat pengelasan, karena baja yang memiliki kadar oksigen tinggi apabila tercampur pada saat proses pengelasan, maka tegangan tariknya akan menurun.Keyword : pengelasan, media pendingin, elektroda, tegangan tarik, struktur mikro

China-Bangladesh Relation: a Quest for Bangladesh’s Integrating into Sino-Myanmar Connectivity
Authors: Alam Md Saiful
Published: November 2019

This paper attempts to investigate the necessity of improved China-Bangladesh relation tointegrating into Sino-Myanmar connectivity following qualitative research methodology andsecondary literature. To realise Bangladesh's economic dream and attain its geostrategicpriority, she needs to extend her connectivity with the Southeast and East Asian countries.Though Bangladesh maintains excellent relationships with her giant neighbour India, it isconjectured that sole reliance of Bangladesh over India is perhaps not enough to fulfil her vision.However, to reach out to the east, she needs to fortify her relationship with her other neighbourMyanmar as the gateway. A sustained and stable relation with Myanmar opens the scope forBangladesh to tread into Sino-Myanmar connectivity, which will eventually assist Bangladesh toattain her dream. Here comes the role of China, which traditionally has a time-tested bond withMyanmar. Bangladesh has a deep-rooted historical tie with China which leaves room forBangladesh to exploit in the fields of economy, foreign policy, energy security and geostrategicissues. Bangladesh has much to gain from China by integrating herself into a good number ofChina-led regional initiatives. Good relation with China is essential for Bangladesh to integrateinto Sino-Myanmar connectivity, which is vital to realise her dream. However, while Bangladeshneeds to make India believe that whatever relations she is fostering with China is only for hereconomic progress, not for challenging India’s hegemony.

The problem of medical care management for patients with
epilepsy during the transition from childhood/adolescence
to adulthood
Authors: Maryenko Lidiia , Kunta Olga , Marienko Kateryna
Published: November 2019

The paper highlights the problems and diffi culties faced by patients with
epilepsy and their parents when changing the medical institution and the attending physician due to the transition to adult health services.
Considerable clinical and psychosocial complications of unfavourable
epilepsy course in adults with childhoodonset epilepsy are discussed.
The models of the evolution of childhood/adolescent epilepsy, which depend on the cause of the disease, are presented. Examples of the organization of a smooth and safe transition of people with childhood-onset epilepsy under the supervision of adult neurologists/ epileptologists in diff erent countries of the world are given.
It is emphasized that the key to create an individualized program for a successful transition is the epilepsy etiology account, especially if young patients need special care because of mental disorders. The possibilities of such a transition in Ukraine are considered on the example of activities of the Lviv Regional Antiepileptic Centre.

Specifi c features of connective tissuing metabolism of children
with closed craniocerebral injury
Authors: Petrenko Viktoriia
Published: November 2019

The author of this paper, in order to diagnose the imbalance of connective tissue metabolism, has analyzed the results of laboratory tests of blood and urine according to biochemical parameters of the
patients with closed craniocerebral injury (CCI) with diff erent severity and has established their clinical and diagnostic value. 100 children who had closed craniocerebral trauma were examined. There were 79 boys (79 %) and 21 girls (21 %), aged from 3 to 17 years among them. Distribution of children into groups was conducted according to the clinical forms
of craniocerebral trauma: Group I — closed craniocerebral trauma, cerebral concussion — 50 children (50 %), average age (14,6 ± 2,5) years; Group II — closed craniocerebral trauma with cerebral contusion
of moderate severity — 20 children (20 %), average age (13.5 ± 4.5 years); Group III —closed craniocerebral trauma with severe cerebral contusion — 30 children (30 %), average age (14.5 ± 3.5 years). Chondroitin sulfates were determined in the blood serum of patients — according to the М. Németh-Csóka method in the modifi cation of L. I. Slutskyi, fraction of glycosaminoglycans (GAG). The content of oxyproline was determined
in the urine — by the reaction with chloramine-B, uronic acids — by the
reaction with carbazole. In case of mild CCI (cerebral concussion),
the indicators of biochemical studies of the blood and urine remained within the normal range, while with the increase in the severity of the injury, we observed an increase in chondroitin sulfate, and a decrease in the level of general GAG, its II and III fractions, and an increase in oxyproline in the urine, indicating the dysgenesia of the connective tissue
metabolism and which may be the basis for the unfavorable course of closed craniocerebral injury of children during the rehabilitation period.
Detection of changes in the connective tissue metabolism allows additionally predict the course of the disease in the period of rehabilitation and the possibility of recovery of children after CCI.
Key words: children, craniocerebral injury, connective tissue dysgenesia, mucopolysaccharides, oxyproline.

Published: November 2019

During the course of screening for new metabolites from basidiomycetes, we isolated and characterized five previously undescribed secondary metabolites, skeletocutins M–Q (1–5), along with the known metabolite tyromycin A (6) from the fruiting bodies of the polypore Skeletocutis sp. The new compounds did not exhibit any antimicrobial, cytotoxic, or nematicidal activities. However, compound 3 moderately inhibited the biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), while compounds 3 and 4 performed moderately in the ʟ-leucine-7-amido-4-methylcoumarin (ʟ-Leu-AMC) inhibition assay. These compounds represent the first secondary metabolites reported to occur in the fruiting bodies by Skeletocutis. Interestingly, tyromycin A (6) was found to be the only common metabolite in fruiting bodies and mycelial cultures of the fungus, and none of the recently reported skeletocutins from the culture of the same strain were detected in the basidiomes.
COST OPTIMIZATION OF MULTIUNIT CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS USING LINEAR PROGRAMMING AND METAHEURISTIC-BASED SIMULATED ANNEALING ALGORITHM
Authors: Podolski Michał , Sroka Bartłomiej
Published: November 2019

The article presents the cost optimization model for multiunit construction projects. Multiunit projects constitute a special case of repetitive projects. They consist in the realization of many different, when it comes to size, types of residential, commercial, industrial buildings or engineering structures. Due to the specific character of construction works, actual schedules of such projects should not only take into account real costs of construction, but also be subject to specific restrictions, e.g. deadlines for the completion of units imposed by the investor. To solve the NP-hard problem of choosing the order of units’ construction there was metaheuristic algorithm of simulated annealing used. The objective function in the presented optimization model was the total value of the project cost determined on the basis of the mathematical programming model, taking into account direct and indirect costs, costs of missing deadlines and costs of work group discontinuities. In the article, an experimental analysis of the proposed method of solving the optimization task was carried out in a model that showed high efficiency in obtaining suboptimal solutions. In addition, the operation of the proposed model has been presented on a calculation example. The results obtained in it are fully satisfying.
