Formation of a network of credit organizations as forms of support and development of pottery production in the Poltava region (1894–1914)
Authors: Belko Oleh
Published: October 2020

The article focuses on the creation of credit organizations network by the Poltava provincial local council to support and develop handicrafts, in particular pottery, and the production of ceramic refractories. The article looks at several ways of obtaining funds for the development of handicraft industry, especially the pottery industry which was distinguished by the Poltava provincial local council in a separate category, and for raising its production and artistic level. Here belongs the bank industrial loan which was allocated by the state bank, although not all manufacturers could use it. The second way is a well-established mechanism of state financing of pottery educational institutions, in particular the Opishnenskaia, Postavmutskaia workshops, the Mirhorod Art and Industrial School named after Mykola Hohol, as well as provincial tile workshops and tile-and-brick factories, whose network was increasing with each passing year. One more way was formation of mutual benefit funds, credit societies. Their active growth was observed in Romenskyi, Kostyantynohradskyi, Hadyatskyi, Zinkovskyi and Mirhorodskyi counties. Such forms of financial support solved the production problems of most potters of the province.

Credit societies were regarded by the zemstvo not only as financial mutual assistance but also as a guarantor of their members’ activity. Poltava provincial zemstvo could act as a guarantor of fulfillment by its member of obligations to organizations-manufacturers of tools for artisanal production. The positive thing was also the fact that financial capability of the credit societies were not limited to their own funds. They could borrow from banks under a contractual arrangement or get the State Bank loans for development of handicraft business. The formation of the credit organizations network by the zemstvo contributed to the development of handicrafts, pottery in particular, as well as to the intensive production of environmentally friendly ceramic refractory materials and to an increase in the economic potential of the province.
Civil Legal Communities in the Context of Sharing Economy
Authors: Aiusheeva I. Z.
Published: October 2020

The development of the economy of shared consumption (sharing economy) is recognized as one of the markers of the digital economy. Innovations and advances in digital technologies contribute to the creation of a large number of IT platforms that bring together an unlimited number of participants able to share resources. In what organizational and legal form is the activity within the framework of sharing economy permitted? Today, business and non-profit entities work in the field of sharing economy. The participation of business entities reflects the ideas of access economy, within which the features of a market economy are preserved. Associations of persons that do not seek profit may be formed in the form of a non-profit organizations or act as a civil law community with the right to make decisions incurring legal consequences on behalf of the associations without the status of a legal entity. The role of civil law communities for the development of models of sharing economy is great, so the rules governing their activities need further improvement.

Authors: Dremlyuga R. I.
Published: October 2020

The paper is devoted to the analysis of general problems of legal regulation of relations arising in the field of the use of virtual reality technology, as well as problems of technology regulation. The paper analyzes what properties of the technology radically differentiate it from other concepts and create challenges for the development of a system of legal regulation of the use of technology. The author describes the main factors complicating the application of existing mechanisms of legal regulation and does forecasts concerning future problems of regulation. The author comes to the conclusion that this technology is radically different from the existing ones, as it combines the properties of the real world and cyberspace. The virtual reality properties complicating the implementation of legal regulation of relations in the field of the use of this technolog include: high realism, full immersion in the session use and low cybersecurity of hardware and software. The author analyzes several regulatory approaches that could be applied to virtual reality and justifies that they all have significant disadvantages. The results of modern research carried out in the field of the VR safe use in education and leisure are rapidly becoming obsolete, as they do not have time for the technologies development, and can serve as the basis for developing a system of rules only with due regard to this factor.

Authors: Burmagin S. V.
Published: October 2020

An adversarial nature of any trial, characteristic of justice and corresponding to its nature, is manifested in criminal proceedings not only in criminal cases, but also in cases addressing issues related to the execution of the sentence. The paper examines the peculiarities of the adversarial construction of judicial proceedings at the stage of execution of the sentence pre-conditioned by the tasks and the specific subject of judicial proceedings in a particular category of cases. The author elucidates the specifics of the conflict relationship, the essence of the legal dispute and the subject composition of procedural parties in cases where issues related to the execution of punishment are resolved. Also, the author analyzes the problems of ensuring equality of the parties and the undefined role of the prosecutor at the execution stage, suggests ways to address them at the legislative level. Finally, it is concluded that there is a need to improve the procedural form of dealing with issues related to the execution of sentences in accordance with the principles of adversarial proceedings and equality and taking into account the peculiarities of their manifestations in judicial proceedings arising during the execution of the sentence.
Forensic Science in the Work of a Prosecutor: Nonsense or an Urgent Need?
Authors: Danilova N. A. , Nikolaeva T. G.
Published: October 2020

The paper substantiates the position of the authors criticized by some modern domestic scientists on the need for a prosecutor to possess forensic knowledge when exercising supervision over the observance of law in the investigation of crimes. The results of an analysis of law enforcement practice, authors’ own experience in the system of advanced professional training of prosecutors and the examples of the prosecutorial examination of on-site inspection reports and expert findings for identification of not only violations of the criminal procedure law, but also errors of a criminalistic nature, support this position. This approach will allow the prosecutor to identify the existing gaps in the evidence base, determine the possibility, ways and means of filling them, and ultimately make a legal and informed decision. The authors conclude that only in the case of sufficient knowledge in the field of forensic science (recommendations for studying the materials of a criminal case on a particular type of crime, as well as the methodology for investigating this crime), the prosecutor’s decision to return the criminal case for additional investigation or other decisions provided for by the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, will be reasonable and motivated.

Clinical Trials in the COVID-19 Era: A breakdown of FDA Guidance and Future Considerations
Authors: Kumthekar Priya
Published: October 2020

Clinical trials that involve medical products are critical to advancing treatments in any medical field and are designed with careful thought and attention to detail. These details include careful assessment of safety parameters from patient safety visits, lab work and deliberately placed screening parameters. Meticulous planning for primary, secondary and correlative outcomes is completed by the study team and the biostatisticians involved in each study design. These precise measures are then methodically written as a clinical trial protocol and submitted to regulatory bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) often as an Investigational Drug Application (IND) and also submitted to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) so that a study can have the appropriate regulatory approval to be tested for the desired outcome. The Principal Investigator (PI) and study team are required to follow these protocols and regulatory requirements with exactitude to maintain clinical trial integrity. While there are many models projecting variances in the timeframe of this pandemic, it is very possible that these modifications will be in place for months/years to come in varying intensities, so it is imperative that we understand them if we participate in clinical trials moving forward.

Authors: Krzemińska Sylwia , Greszta Agnieszka , Miśkiewicz Pamela
Published: October 2020

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aerogel application on the thermal properties of textile packages intended for use in protective clothing. The packages were prepared in the form of removable inserts filled with aerogel, differing in terms of fabric and design. The developed packages were tested for resistance to the three major types of heat: radiant, convective, and contact. The package variant with superior thermal performance was also evaluated for water vapor resistance. The package after incorporation of aerogel was found to approximately double radiant and convective heat resistance, with an approx. eightfold improvement for contact heat at the highest test temperature 250℃. Threshold time increased from (17.7±0.7) s to (139.9±4.9) s for the optimum aerogel-enhanced package variant with the greatest number of pouches, which met the criteria of the highest performance level. The thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of three fabrics selected for testing were tested in order to determine their basic thermal insulation properties. In general, packages containing a larger number of narrower pouches exhibited higher thermal protective performance. The results show that the developed textile packages with aerogel can be successfully used in thermal protective clothing.

The main objective of the convective incompressible fluid flow placed in a magnetic field, with vertical motion through an isothermally heated porous channel. The Super-hydrophobic the slip was applied on one wall along with temperature jump, while there is no slip on another wall. The analytical results are discussed qualitatively for the parameters which were on the mathematical formulation on the basis of the model equations designed for the linear momentum and energy balance. Decreasing the value of the slip parameter is noticed due to decreasing in temperature. The effects of heat source and porous medium on the micro channel flow is analysized in detail. Coparesion of current results is made with the earlier work. The effect of Dray parameter is to increase the fluid velocity in the channel.
Simulation of Natural Ventilation Inside Tunnel Greenhouse
Authors: Lebbal Cherine , Bougoul Saadi , Zeroual Samra
Published: October 2020

A study of the variation of the temperature and the speed under an open greenhouse with and without plant was developed and the effect of the wind speed on the internal climate under the greenhouse was analyzed by the use of the software Fluent-CFD based on the finite volume method. The airflow through the crop was introduced by using the porous medium approach. Three dimensional simulations which described turbulent flows in steady state were carried out and the turbulence was modeled by using the standard k-ε model. The air temperature variation shows a gradient from the sidewalls towards the center of the greenhouse due to the movement of the hot air rising towards the roof and another vertical gradient due to the air circulation above the surface of the heated floor. At the openings, the maximum air velocity was reached and the lowest values are observed in the middle of the greenhouse, at the crop level and at the corners. The variation of the climatic parameters affects greatly the growth of the plant. The results of the simulation given as airflows and temperature patterns are satisfactory while comparing them to those of the literature. These results can help to know the distribution of the internal climate inside the greenhouse, so they facilitate the openings design.
Handwritten Gurmukhi Digit Recognition System for Small Datasets
Authors: Singh Gurpartap , Agrawal Sunil , Sohi Balwinder Singh
Published: October 2020

In the present study, a method to increase the recognition accuracy of Gurmukhi (Indian Regional Script) Handwritten Digits has been proposed. The proposed methodology uses a DCNN (Deep Convolutional Neural Network) with a cascaded XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting) algorithm. Also, a comprehensive analysis has been done to apprehend the impact of kernel size of DCNN on recognition accuracy. The reason for using DCNN is its impressive performance in terms of recognition accuracy of handwritten digits, but in order to achieve good recognition accuracy, DCNN requires a huge amount of data and also significant training/testing time. In order to increase the accuracy of DCNN for a small dataset more images have been generated by applying a shear transformation (A transformation that preserves parallelism but not length and angles) to the original images. To address the issue of large training time only two hidden layers along with selective cascading XGBoost among the misclassified digits have been used. Also, the issue of overfitting is discussed in detail and has been reduced to a great extent. Finally, the results are compared with performance of some recent techniques like SVM (Support Vector Machine) Random Forest, and XGBoost classifiers on DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) and DWT (Discrete Wavelet Transform) features obtained on the same dataset. It is found that proposed methodology can outperform other techniques in terms of overall rate of recognition.

Published: October 2020

A definição de gênero é uma construção social, sendo que comportamentos precoces ligados à classificação de gênero são influenciados pelo contexto social em que a criança está inserida já nos primeiros anos de vida. Nesse contexto, o desenho é considerado como algo natural e espontâneo que a criança realiza, sendo visto como algo construído socialmente e, uma vez que a criança é um ser social em sua origem, toda sua produção é igualmente composta a partir das interações sociais. A partir das manifestações das crianças por meio de desenhos, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa com 52 alunos da quinta série do ensino fundamental para compreender como as crianças percebem a identidade de gênero. Os resultados são consoantes com o que a sociedade predetermina como padrão. Os meninos preferiram usar camiseta, jaqueta e boné e as meninas vestido. Contudo, a escolha de cores e brinquedos favoritos não teve uma identificação ao que a sociedade tem como padrão. No entanto, a escolha de cores e brinquedos favoritos não teve uma identificação ao que a sociedade tem como padrão de cor e brinquedos de meninas ou de meninos. A partir disso, foi desenvolvida uma animação que conta a história de Olívia, personagem inserida em um mundo onde menino usa somente azul e menina usa somente rosa.
Effects of anti-allergy drugs on Th1 cell and Th2 cell development mediated by Langerhans cells
Authors: Matsui Katsuhiko , Shi Xiaolei , Komori Sayuko , Higuchi Atsumi
Published: October 2020

Background: It is well known that Langerhans cells (LCs) work as the primary orchestrators in polarization towards T helper type 1 (Th1) or T helper type 2 (Th2) immune responses. In this study, we examined the effects of various anti-allergy drugs against the Th2 cell development by LCs. Methods: The expression of cell surface molecules on LCs was investigated using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The effects of anti-allergy drugs on T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein (TIM)-4 expression in LCs were examined to predict whether they would inhibit Th2 cell development. Next, mice were primed via the hind footpad with ovalbumin (OVA)-pulsed LCs that had been treated with selected anti-allergy drugs. After 5 days, the cytokine response in the popliteal lymph nodes was investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The therapeutic effects of a selected drug on atopic dermatitis (AD) were assessed using AD-like skin lesions of NC/Nga mice. Results: The first-generation histamine H1 receptorantagonists, cyproheptadine and promethazine, and the second-generation histamine H1 receptor antagonists, emedastine and loratadine, were selected as candidate inhibitors of Th2 cell development. As expected, OVA peptide-pulsed LCs that had been treated with each drug and injected into the hind footpads of mice inhibited Th2 cell development, as represented by down-regulation of interleukin (IL)-4 production. Furthermore, the LCs that had been treated withemedastine also inhibited Th1 cell development, as represented by down-regulation of interferon (IFN)-g production. This additional inhibition of Th1 cell development was accompanied by suppression of CD40 expression in LCs. Therefore, the therapeutic effect of emedastine on AD was examined. Topical application of emedastine significantly suppressed the increase in the skin severity score in NC/Nga mice with AD-like skin lesions. This suppressive effect was associated with a decrease in the production of IFN-g and IL-4 in auricular lymph node cells. Conclusions: These results suggest that topical application of emedastine to skin lesions of patients with AD may provide clinical benefits through the inhibition of both Th1 cell and Th2 cell development mediated by LCs.
Knowledge Representation Framework for Software Requirement Specification
Authors: Jelai L. , Mit E. , Samson Juan S.F.
Published: October 2020

The need to extract correct information has become one of the main issues when analyzing the software requirement specification (SRS) documentation. The amount of gathered knowledge depends on the size of the information. However, the complexity of software systems is continuously increasing. As software systems change to more complicated systems, the information from the SRS documents may not be easily comprehended. For example, each annotation requirements tasks target the different types of information, and these tasks require the availability of experts specialized in the field. Large scale annotation tasks require multiple experts and very costly. If the number of experts is limited, annotation tasks may overwhelm the experts. The organization would not complete their objectives if they failed to manage their data because poor knowledge management affects many operations within the organization.  To extract such vast information and turn it to useful knowledge, a company needs top quality software. This technology should able to input, store, and access systematically. This paper will discuss a framework based on the knowledge-based method, an attempt to improve knowledge representation. In this approach, WordNet 2.1 would be used as the knowledge source used to identify concepts represented by each word in a text from the SRS document.

Authors: Ismail - , Ismail Asrul Harun , Nur Rahayu Gama Harta Nugraha
Published: October 2020

This study evaluated seven potential locations for wind energy in Indonesia. This study applied economic analysis using static analysis and the Monte Carlo simulation. The later was used to measure the financial indicators and then to analyze the sensitivity of economic uncertainties. The result findings show that in term of annual energy production volume among the seven selected locations, Jeneponto location has the highest value of 4,339,003.2 MWh with a capacity factor of 25.22% and Bantul location has the lowest value of 526,476 MWh with a capacity factor of 16.51%. According to economic uncertainty analysis, the highest NPV and attractive IRR values with high deviation standard values will be interesting to the risk-taking investors. Otherwise, the lowest NPV and IRR values fit the risk of avoiding-type investors due to its low deviation standard values. Based on sensitivity analysis, the increase of average NPV and IRR values of all seven locations are influenced positively by first 5-year of the selling price, which contributes approximately 30% and 50% of NPV and IRR’s percentage change. By contrast, the decrease in average NPV values of all seven locations is influenced by the discount rate, which contributes approximately 15% of NPV’s percentage change. Meanwhile, the decrease in average IRR is influenced by capital investment cost, which contributes approximately 20% of IRR’s percentage change. Policymakers can further consider the parameters mentioned above.

The phenomenon of dust that occurs in Iraq is one of the phenomena that cannot be completely controlled or partially processed in a short time. It also works to know how some climatic factors such as the average wind speed, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure above sea level, and the maximum temperature which represent explanatory (independent) variables , respectively. The effects on the number of occurrences of dust storms represent the adopted variable (Y) in Baghdad Governorate for the period from 2008 to mid-2013. The researchers used the Generalized Partial Linear Regression Model (GPLRM) consist of fourteen models, after determining the best link function for each model. Then we compared these models to determine the best model that represents this data with the best representation using the Akaike information criterion (AIC), the Schwartz information criterion (BIC), and the determination Coefficient criterion . We also used the program (i- xplore) in the calculation, and we have concluded that the best model is the model in which the variable  relative humidity and  the maximum temperature in the parametric part, i.e., linear and stable. On the other hand, the variable  average wind speed and the variable  atmospheric pressure above sea level are non-parametric and their behavior is non-linear and unstable. The researchers consider that Baghdad Governorate suffers from this negative phenomenon as well as in general in Iraq. Besides, the effect of the variable  relative humidity is a decreasingly negative effect, while the effect of the variable  maximum temperature, it is an increasingly positive effect.

The landslides in the field often do not have an infinite length, making 3-dimensional assumptions more appropriate for the design. Meanwhile, they are mostly analyzed in design by assuming the landslides occur infinitely with plane strain in a 2-dimensional approach. This assumption becomes less precise due to the consideration of the safety factor based on 2-dimensional conditions while the landslide happens 3-dimensional, and this has further effects on the need for reinforcement. This research was conducted to determine the level of influence 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional landslide safety factors have on the number of reinforcements required. A limit equilibrium method was used in the study. The number of geotextile reinforcement needs with a 3-dimensional sliding model is calculated based on existing research results. The results are then compared with the amount of geotextile reinforcement required with a 2-dimensional sliding model. The results showed the possibility of having the same amount of reinforcement under 2-D and 3-D assumptions in the homogeneous soil, while different results were found with heterogeneous soil layers due to the variations in soil conditions. Comparison of the number of geotextile reinforcement requirements between 2 dimensions and three dimensions still needs to be further developed by using more varied soil data. This is done considering that existing studies are only limited to soil, which tends to be homogeneous.
The Interrelationship Between Perceived Quality, Perceived Value and User Satisfaction Towards Behavioral Intention in Public Transportation: A Review of the Evidence

Published: October 2020

The most critical concern to the public transportation service is the low number of ridership. The lack of enthusiasm to use public transportation is because the passengers were not satisfied with the service provided. Thus, researchers across the globe are focusing on investigating the factors that affect user satisfaction and the consequences of user satisfaction in the public transportation service. However, a review of the evidence across public transportation mode and region has shown a lack of comprehensive investigations. Thus, this paper seeks to bridge the literature gap by reviewing the evidence to justify the relationship between the antecedents of user satisfaction, such as perceived quality and perceived value, and the consequence of user satisfaction, namely complaints and loyalty to the provided service. Based on the literature review, it is concluded that the perceived quality and perceived value have a significant effect on user satisfaction. Also, the satisfied user leads to loyalty to the service and can reduce the number of complaints. This study has established that the root of this relationship is the quality of the service provided. Hence, service providers need to prioritize this factor to ensure user satisfaction, which will increase their loyalty to the offered service. This research will help the service provider ensure the survival of their business and bring benefits to the environments through reduced traffic congestion and pollution.

Today, humans are dealing with two urgent issues: energy security and environmental pollution and finding sources to replace traditional fuels such as gasoline and diesel that are part of human interest. Lignocellulose biomass can be obtained through a variety of basic chemicals or intermediates that generate energy, such as ethanol, butanol, and dimethylfuran. 2.5-dimethylfuran (DMF) is considered a potential alternative fuel because it is a water-insoluble substance used as an additive mixed with gasoline fuel. Formerly, there have been many studies on combustion engines and emissions properties using the DMF-gasoline blend, especially SI engines. However, there has been no published research about the optimal ignition timing advance of SI engines when using these blends. This paper present how to determine the optimal ignition timing advance of SI engines using DMF-gasoline combinations with AVL-Boost simulation software. The simulation conditions were set up at 50% load, and speed at 2500 and 3000 rpm using blends are DMF20, DMF30, and DMF40 (corresponding with the DMF ratio in DMF-gasoline blends is 20%, 30%, and 40% in volume). The simulation result shows that the optimal ignition timing advance of SI engines using DMF-gasoline blends at a 2500 and 3500 rpm speed corresponding with 23 and 31 crank angle degrees (CAD) (reduce 2CAD compare to when using pure gasoline). At these optimal ignition timing advances, the power engine, torque, and thermal efficiency (BTE) reach its maximum value, while the fuel consumption rate is also lowest.
Statistical Challenges of The Sustainable Development in Iraq

Published: October 2020

Many challenges on the road to sustainable development face Iraq. Data limitations cause massive constraints on sustainable development goals checking because about 70% of indicators are missing in Iraq. Statistical indicators are considered as the basis of sustainable development in each country. The healthy population was the third goal of sustainable goals because the healthy population produces a high level of sustainable development. Consequently, fertility is an important indicator of a healthy population because it is one of the three principal components of population dynamics that increases the size of any country's population. The important indicator of fertility is the number of newborns for the married women. Therefore, the problem of this research is about 70% of sustainable development goals indicators currently are missing in Iraq, especially inferential indicators including modelling of the association between the phenomena and their risk factors. Then the goal of this research is to build a model to represent the association between the fertility and its risk factors to provide an inferential indicator about this phenomenon to identify the most influential risk factors. Several risk factors are facing the pregnancy before childbirth, but what are the most influential risk factors cause it? The count regression models are a statistical technique may be used to express the association between the number of fertility and its risk factors. A simple random sample was drawn with size (200) consists of the mothers who visit the primary health care centres in Babylon province-Iraq in year 2018. Biological, behavioural and lifestyle factors are recorded. The results of applying Poisson regression model show that the data was overdispersion, with nonlinear function and with number of outliers. Therefore, the nonparametric Poisson model was used as an alternative model to this data. The results of applying this model show that the most influential risk factors are five linear risk factors in addition to three nonparametric smoothing factors.
