Authors: Yang Meng , Abbas Munawwar Ali , Khudair Wissam Sadiq
Published: November 2021

In this research, we studied the impact of temperature dependent viscosity and thermal radiation on Eyring Powell fluid with porous channels. The dimensionless equations were solved using the perturbation technique using the Weissenberg number (ε ≪ 1) to obtain clear formulas for the velocity field. All of the solutions for the physical parameters of the Reynolds number (Re), magnetic parameter (M), Darcy parameter (Da) and Prandtl number (Pr) were discussed through their different values. As shown in the plots the two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphical results of the velocity profile against various pertinent parameters have been illustrated with physical reasons. The results revealed that the temperature distribution increases for higher Prandtl and thermal radiation values. Such findings are beneficial in the field of engineering sciences.

One process to improve wood quality is densification or wood surface compression. Our study analyzed the changes in some basic properties of pine wood, including its anatomical structure, density, modulus of elasticity (MOE), and dimensions of cellulose crystallites, after densification following soaking pretreatment in CH3COOH and H2O2 at a concentration of 20%. Samples were sawn in radial and tangential directions for analysis of the wood. The results showed a change in the shape of tracheid cells from hexagonal to oval, as well as damage to the ray cell constituents on the tangential surface. The thickness decrease of the samples was in accordance with the target, which meant that spring-back was short. In general, the tangential boards had a higher density than the radial boards, with a lower MOE and crystallite dimensions. Our findings showed that the densified tangential board was stronger than the radial board.

Owing to its capability to measure the sensitive biological data of patients through embedded sensors and transmit them via open wireless channels to remote medical experts, wireless body area network (WBAN) has been playing an important role in pervasive healthcare systems. However, the open nature of the wireless channels renders the data susceptible to being eavesdropped by an adversary and linked to the identities of the transmitting devices, which can enable the adversary to gain sensitive information and launch targeted physical attacks. Therefore, anonymous authentication and confidentiality of the data in WBAN are vital. In the last few years, numerous anonymous authentication schemes based on cryptographic primitives and physiological features were designed to enhance security in WBAN. However, most of the existing schemes are not computationally efficient or require additional sensing hardware. To address these limitations, we propose an efficient anonymous authentication scheme for WBAN based on signal propagation characteristics. The key idea in the proposed scheme is to utilize the distinct received signal strength (RSS) variation profiles between on-body and off-body communication channels to conceal the identities of communicating devices, thereby ensuring their anonymity during authentication. We perform security and performance analyses of the proposed approach to prove its security strength and computational efficiency, respectively. Moreover, extensive experiments are conducted on human volunteers in indoor and outdoor environments to show the robustness of our approach. The results of the analyses and the experiments show that our scheme can successfully mitigate 88.8% of active attack attempts with less computation overhead.
Economic evaluation of fluoride removal by membrane capacitive deionization
Authors: Uzun Halil İbrahim , Debik Eyüp
Published: November 2021

Today, one of the most important issues of all is the supply of drinking and utility water, which is the most basic need for human beings, to be healthy and reliable, economical. Some substances in natural water sources pose a danger to living creatures when they exceed certain concentrations. Fluoride, which can be commonly found in water as a result of natural or industrial effects, poses various risks for the living not only in its deficiency, but also its excess. Therefore, the fluoride concentration should be under control. Membrane Capacitive Deionization Process is an effective method to remove ions from water. In this study, firstly, optimum conditions have been determined by working on the removal of fluoride from groundwater with MCDI which is prepared synthetically. Subsequently, the groundwater, which was obtained from Isparta province and containing 7.71 mg/L fluoride, was treated by the membrane capacitive deionization method at the optimum conditions determined by 99%. Groundwater fluoride concentration has been reduced below the drinking water fluoride limit. For this treatment, 0.06 kWh/m3 energy was expensed and this corresponds to an energy cost of $ 0.006/m3. These results are quite economical when compared to other groundwater fluoride removal methods.

GOLD PRICES: DOES GEOPOLITICAL TENSION REALLY MATTER?
Authors: KOZYUK Victor
Published: November 2021

Introduction. Gold price has being demonstrating stable tendency to rise during recent time. Stronger geopolitical tensions support the view that that international political economy factors may play a role driving gold price. In the same time post-crisis global economic uncer­tainty and global expansion of liquidity may affect gold price by itself.

The purpose of the article is to find which gold price factor is the most important taking into account assumption that global macrofinancial conditions affect assets prices yet the real economy.

Results. We consider competitive approaches on gold price factors: international politi­cal economy, safe haven effect, hedging against monetary shocks, assets with negative beta. Gold reserves accumulation may support ideas that reflected in economic literature about gold price factors. In the same time, fraction of gold in global exchange reserves didn’t change sub­stantially during recent time. For empirical test the four groups of factors were chosen. Each of them are proxy for geopolitical tensions, global economic policy uncertainty, global exchange reserves accumulation, monetary / financial conditions in US. It is found that factors of inter­national political economy are not valid. The most important factors are global economic policy uncertainty and expansion of global liquidity in the form of low long-term US interest rates and global exchange reserves accumulation.

Conclusions. Gold price drivers are on the global macrofinancial conditions side. The role of international political economy factors is overvalued.
THE FUNCTIONS OF PUBLIC EXPENDITURES IN PUBLIC MANAGEMENT, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL SYSTEMS OF A COUNTRY
Authors: MALYNIAK Bohdan
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The functions of public expenditures reveal their intended purpose in the regulation of various processes and explain their role in the attainment of specific goals. Scientific literature provides extensive insights into definitions of budget functions in market democracies, but the functional purpose of public expenditures is covered only fragmentarily.

The purpose of the article is to present a scientific substantiation for the system of public expenditure functions in the market democracies.

Results. Based on the analysis of public expenditure functions, we believe that it would be feasible to substantiate the functions separately for each of the two main spheres directly affected by public expenditures, namely public management and the economic and social system of the country. In the public management sphere, public expenditures perform the functions of control and planning (programming). The essence of the planning function consists in using public expenditures to create conditions and provide necessary incentives for rational performance-based planning of the activities carried out by public authorities, as well as for attainment of target performance indicators by applying the results-oriented budgeting method. The function of control is preconditioned by the specifics of public management system functioning in a democratic society, which consists in assuring that the society has control over activities of public authorities.

The influence of public expenditures on the national economy and its social system occurs through functions of allocation, redistribution and stimulation. The function of allocation consists in providing the population with goods and services that cannot be supplied by the market economy in sufficient volumes. The essence of the redistribution function consists in using public expenditures with the aim of decreasing income inequality among members of the society, regional development of territories or solving other tasks. The public expenditure function of stimulation aims to stimulate certain directions of economic activity by means of changing the volumes, components or structure of public expenditures through different mechanisms of their realization.

Conclusions. In result of performing a theoretical study of the functional purpose of the budget in a market economy and a critical analysis of scientific postulates allow us to substantiate the feasibility of identifying the following functions of public expenditures: planning (programming), control, allocation, redistribution, and stimula tion.

In this paper we review the recent studies on wide InGaN quantum wells (QWs). InGaN QWs are known to suffer from an extremely high built-in piezoelectric polarization, which separates the electron and hole wavefunctions and causes the quantum-confined Stark effect. We show both by means of modeling and experimentally, that wide InGaN QWs can have quantum efficiency superior to commonly used thin QWs. The high efficiency is explained by initial screening of the piezoelectric field and subsequent emergence of optical transitions involving the excited states of electrons and holes, which have a high oscillator strength. A high pressure spectroscopy and photocurrent measurements are used to verify the mechanism of recombination through excited states. Furthermore, the influence of QW width on the properties of optoelectronic devices is studied. In particular, it is shown how the optical gain forms in laser diodes with wide InGaN QWs.
Transformational tendencies of the Ukrainian diaspora ecclesiastical painting
Authors: Dundyak Iryna
Published: November 2021

Ecclesiastical painting of the diaspora is considered as an integral part of the artistic tradition of Ukrainian religious culture. The artistic processes that took place in ecclesiastical painting against the background of historical and cultural changes in the Ukrainian diaspora in the second half of the XXth century are being analyzed. Attention is paid to important art objects located in the compact settlements of the communities of the Ukrainian Western Diaspora in Europe, Australia, the USA, and Canada. The role of transformational processes of ecclesiastical painting on the example of works of R. Hluvko, J. Hnizdovsky, M. Levytsky, O. Mazuryk, J. Novoselsky are being investigated. The analyzed works clearly demonstrate modernist changes in aesthetic landmarks almost in line with stylistic changes in European art. The issue of artistic features of ecclesiastical painting of the diaspora is critically covered. Problems of temple ensemble, modern stylistic directions of temple concepts, etc. are being singled out.

Published: November 2021

Wear analysis performed on archaeological stone tools from prehistory aims at characterizing their surface alterations in order to determine their functions and describe past human technical behaviors. However, the reliability and repeatability of the method is questioned and there is a major difficulty facing scientists analyzing wear, which is related to proposing quantified and repeatable analyses and interpretations of taphonomic and anthropogenic (related to manufacture and use) evidence. We propose the creation of an experimental reference collection of surface alterations focused primarily on selected stone types commonly found at Hungarian archaeological sites. This collection will allow the characterization of the topographic signatures of manufacture, use, and taphonomic processes. The qualitative (through observation using optical microscopy) and quantitative (through surface measurements using confocal microscopy) analyses will aim at examining: 1) the variability of surface alterations, 2) protocols that can allow the identification and characterization of surface topographic signatures, and 3) the appropriate metrological setups that will allow for each of the alteration processes to be differentiated. We present here the results of the preliminary experiments, which involved flakes for bone and reed processing made of six different raw materials. It has been confirmed that evidence of use can be identified on each one of them. Beyond the presentation of the first images from the reference collection, we briefly present the future phases of the project.

The Covid-19 pandemic, which has swept the world for almost two, years has changed the implementation of education in Indonesia. Learning that was previously always done face-to-face has now been shifted to distance learning, which in its performance is a challenge, especially for mathematics teachers. So far, the problems faced by teachers are difficulties in making students more enthusiastic in learning during the online learning period and challenges in developing students' thinking skills. A learning model is needed that can train students so that during online learning, students can still practice improving their 4C thinking skills. This research is a descriptive study in the form of a literature review conducted by reviewing several literatures. Based on the literature review, it can be seen that one approach that can be used is a project-based Quantum Teaching and Learning (QTL) approach which can be presented in web form so that students are more motivated during the online learning period. Based on theoretical studies from several articles, it is known that learning QTL can increase students' learning motivation because QTL is taught according to students' thinking. Giving projects that are in accordance with students' interests can be added to QTL learning to train students to improve 4C thinking skills.

Introduction and reintroduction requires the movement of different groups of animals over considerable distances. In this case, there is a risk of the spread of infectious and parasitic diseases. The current veterinary rules and requirements contain instructions on measures for the import (movement) of zoo and circus animals, but there are no instructions on animals in protected areas. This paper proposes options for disinsection and disacarisation of various objects at the points of introduction and reintroduction of animals, based on the instructions approved by the Department of Veterinary Medicine of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation. The work was carried out in connection with the need to develop recommendations to prevent the spread of infectious and invasive animal diseases, including anthropozoonoses, on the territory of the steppe scientific station of the Steppe Institute of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences «Orenburg Tarpania». One of the significant risks in the introduction of animals is the presence of natural foci of vector-borne diseases in the model area. To eliminate these risks, it is necessary to spray animals with insectoacaricides of the pyrethroid group when importing animals. At reintroduction points, carry out regular arachnoentomological monitoring of the area. With an increase in the number of blood-sucking arthropods, it is necessary to apply insectoacaricides by spraying biotopes. When a vector-borne disease appears, spray both biotopes and the animals themselves to break the epizootic chain.

The effect of vaccination against salmonellosis on the morphological composition of the blood of broiler turkeys was studied. The dynamics of seroconversion of antibodies to S. enteritidis, S. typhimurium and S. infantis were analysed. The results obtained, which demonstrate an increase in hematocrit, hemoglobin level, average hemoglobin concentration in erythrocyte (MCHC), average erythrocyte volume and average hemoglobin content in erythrocyte (MCH), indicate an increase and optimization of key quantitative indicators of blood cells of a group of birds, two times immunized against salmonellosis. These positive indicators will allow further assessment of the effectiveness of immunization and the adequacy of immunological preparations when used in the turkey herd. This approach will reduce the time and cost of consumables as well as reduce the need for the use of sophisticated equipment when carrying out an express assessment of the parameters of the effectiveness of immunization and the quality of biological preparations. The levels of erythrocytes, anisocytosis, pseudo-eosinophils, monocytes, basophils, lymphocytes demonstrate the absence of a negative effect of double immunization, which allows to consider these indicators as neutral ones. Experience has shown that the use of a salmonellosis vaccine induces sufficient immunity in turkeys to manage the risks of Salmonella infection with S. enteritidis, S. typhimurium and S. infantis.

Common problems of reindeer husbandry are infectious and invasive diseases, of which anthrax and edemagenosis cause the greatest economic damage. The main method of prevention of these diseases is timely vaccination and treatment of animals with antiparasitic agents. However, it is difficult to carry out frequent veterinary manipulations in reindeer husbandry, which is due to the specifics of the industry. In order to reduce veterinary treatments against anthrax and edemagenosis, the possibility of using a mixture of aversectins with a vaccine strain of the causative agent of anthrax was evaluated. To do this, a medicinal composition was prepared, consisting of the aversectincontaining drug «Farmacin» and the anti-ulcer vaccine strain 55 VNIIVViM, by mixing 100 ml of an antiparasitic agent with 50 doses of the vaccine. The drug was administered to adult reindeer by intramuscular injection at the rate of 1.0 ml of the drug per 50 kg of body weight. Preventive treatment was carried out in September. 10 animals participating in the experiment were continuously monitored for 14 days, the main physiological parameters were determined and the dynamics of the morphobiochemical composition of blood was studied. During the experiment, it was found that the composition under study does not cause any pronounced local and general reaction of the body to its introduction, and the morphobiochemical composition of the blood with the expiration of time has no reliable transformations. Production tests carried out on 300 deer showed that the introduction of the drug provides 100% therapeutic and preventive effectiveness in edemagenosis and contributes to the formation of intense immunity against anthrax. Thus, the developed method of prevention of these diseases makes it possible to optimize veterinary manipulations in reindeer husbandry.

Published: November 2021

All around us today there is a clear evidence proof suggesting an observable influence by human on biogeochemical cycles which are likely to cause serious consequences for humanity. Activities of human affects the biogeochemical cycles, both directly as well as indirectly. If scholars were able to make clear the degree of how specific human actions is affecting the biogeochemical cycles, they (researchers) would be able to come up with ideas on how to better position toward suggesting strategies aimed at mitigating against disturbances that are worst. This paper aims at exploring how human activities affect the balance of biogeochemical cycles in relation to the Carbon, Nitrogen and Hydrologic Cycles. A literature analysis attempts to use a diversity of search engines such as Scopus, Researchgate, PubMed, Google Scholar, Summon, Hinari, CAB Abstract, OARE Abstract, Academia, Dimension, Mendeley, SSRN search strategy toward retrieving research publications, “grey literature” as well as expert reports from working group. This paper review some of the work done on this topic as well as locate the converging results of interest in all the studies as well as proffered solutions toward this menace with the purpose of forestalling future occurrence. Due to the actions of numerous human activities, the characteristics/features of several components of biogeochemical cycles are experiencing changes which are most likely led to long-term changes. It is essential to forecast the magnitude as well as degree of these changes so that the needed ameliorative actions could be originated well in time.

Comparative Study on Profitability of Sorghum-Legumes Intercropping Systems in Ethiopia
Authors: Deressa Dessalegn Ayana
Published: November 2021

The imbalance between the crop production and population growth is currently the major issue in Ethiopia. To feed the growing population, increasing the production of food through growing more crop types in the same field as an intercropping is the right strategy. The study was aimed at evaluating the profitability of sorghum-legume intercropping on yield of sorghum. Intercropping sorghum with legumes crops increases the land productivity as its Land Equivalent Ratio is greater than one. In these cases, the land equivalent ratio is greater than one indicating the benefits of intercropping.  In general, legume crops contributed to the yield of sorghum either intercropped with legume or grown up using residual contribution of legumes after a year. Therefore, for maximum sorghum production, farmers should plant either as intercrop or after residual effect of legumes crops. In addition to agronomic parameters used to compare the advantages of any cropping system in small scale farming conditions, total gross monetary value is also used to evaluate economic advantages of intercropping system.

Published: November 2021

El presente ofrece una aproximación teórica al hecho de la movilidad humana por motivos ambientales y climáticos en Guatemala, con especial atención en los años 2011-2020; para tal fin se realizo una revisión bibliográfica de la literatura especializada y las bases de datos sobre eventos extremos en la temporalidad antes mencionada, así también entrevistas a especialistas y migrantes, adicional a consultas mediante el acceso a la información pública bajo el resguardo de la ley de acceso a la información pública de Guatemala. En tal sentido se establece que la movilidad humana interna y externa obedece a diversos factores incluso históricos, y que en tiempos actuales la coyuntura medioambiental y climática forza a muchos a salir de sus tierras, con el fin de resguardar su vida, convirtiéndose la movilidad humana en una medida de adaptación. La movilidad humana por motivos ambientales y climáticos en Guatemala, es una realidad que cada día será más notoria en las razones de expulsión del territorio; razón por la cual es de urgente necesidad su tratamiento a nivel de políticas públicas integrales, que reduzcan las causas; antes que solamente atienda a los efectos.
Perceived Impacts of Climate Change on Economic Activities and Adaptation Strategies: A Case Study from Cold Desert of Ladakh, India
Authors: Tsering Tashi  , Falendra Kumar Sudan
Published: November 2021

This paper aims at identifying the perception of local indigenous Peoples' living in the cold desert area of Nubra valley (Ladakh), India, on climate variability resulting in extreme events such as floods and cloudbursts and their impacts on various economic activities such as agricultural productivity, land degradation, soil erosion, water availability, and forest resources. It also aims to ascertain the vulnerability of the key sectors such as forest, agriculture and water sources, and local adaptation strategies to adapt to climate variability and extreme events. Stratified random sampling technique was adopted to select the sample size. The study is based on the primary data and information collected from 288 sample households in three blocks i.e., Diskit, Panamik, and Turtuk through semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, focus group discussions, and PRI tools. Study findings revealed that more than 90 percent of overall households' respondents of three blocks observed that temperature has been increased and low rainfall/snowfall over the last three decades. The result showed that the majority of respondents admitted that land degradation, severe soil erosion and shortage of water, low agricultural productivity, and decline in forest resources are major climate related problems due to low rainfall/snowfall, increase temperature, and natural disasters. To alleviate these problems, local people have implemented various adaptation strategies such as mixed farming, more plantations of trees, organic farming, and changing crop patterns. The policy recommendations for appropriate adaptation strategies are in consideration with the knowledge of local indigenous peoples and their perception of climate change. The study could be helpful to policymakers to design appropriate adaptation strategies to cope up with the impacts of climate change.
The Relationship between Credit Risk and Financial Performance: Evidence from Commercial Banks in Tanzania
Authors: Kaimu Ahmada , Muba Seif
Published: November 2021

This research study purposed to determine the relationships between credit risks and the performance of commercial banks in Tanzania. Generally, the study aimed to establish the relationship between credit risk and financial performance in Tanzanian Banks. Specifically, to determine if the long-run relationship between credit risk and performance existed and investigated if credit risk and financial performance existed with a causal relationship in Tanzanian Banks. The research collected secondary data samples of 15 commercial banks in Tanzania from 2005-2019. This study adopted an explanatory approach to fulfil the above objectives. Both fixed and random effects models were engaged to determine the relationship. Hausman Test executed to determine the appropriate model. In the model, NPLR, LLPR, CAR, and BAS were used as the credit risk proxies, while return on asset (ROA) was used as the dependent variable. The findings reveal that the credit risk has both negative and positive relationships with the proxies used. The performance was inversely significant with NPLR and negatively insignificant with LLPR, while positively significant with CAR and positively insignificant with LBAS. The study concluded that the credit risk proxies, i.e., there was a significant relationship between NPLR and CAR with the commercial banks’ performance in Tanzania. Furthermore, the researchers concluded that the long-run relationship existed on the variables in the study, while granger causality existed in all variables except LLPR, i.e., Credit risk proxies except LLPR can granger cause the performance of commercial banks while the granger causality reveals no causal relationship among independent variables themselves. The study recommended that commercial banks in Tanzania should put more emphasis on handling credit risk and management of capital adequacy so as to have better financial performance.

In recent years, distance learning has been increasingly involved in university education by the Ministry of Education. The impetus for a new round of introduction of this form of education was given by the pandemic, which determined the need for self-isolation, when distance learning forms are becoming the only possible ones. But at the same time, a number of problems arise: the lack of proper real communication of young people, including with teachers, the weakening of the functions of critical thinking and the culture of discrimination, the strengthening of individualism, a sharp increase in physical inactivity. All this deforms the human body and removes it from a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, in the development and implementation of distance technologies, especially in the discipline “Physical culture”, which requires real permanent physical culture and health-improving practices under the supervision of a teacher and trainer, it is necessary to preserve the principle of the quality of education even in conditions of distance learning.

Published: November 2021

The purpose of this paper is to examine commercialization model of appropriate technology through the case of the LaoKorea Science and Technology Center (LKSTC). LKSTC has developed washing, water treatment, and sterilization technology in the agrifood sector and three types of pico-hydro generator, Pico-solar hybrid system, and energy remote monitoring technology in the renewable energy sector. Commercialization of appropriate technology was successfully carried out through the establishment of Kaipan community business, school enterprises, and social enterprise. The policy implications are as follows. First, the commercialization of appropriate technology in developing countries should enhance the linkage with the regional development policies of the recipient countries. Second, in order to minimize market risk, innovative technology development and local startup networks should be properly established. Finally, the mid and long term efforts are needed to increase the sustainability of the business.
