Authors: Mkhytaryan Olha , Bucova Natalia , Buhaiova Alyona
Published: November 2019

The article clarifies the methodological approaches to solving the problem of spirituality education of students with a low level of knowledge and skills in the lessons of Ukrainian literature and defines the methodical conditions of this work. The content of the concepts «spiritual world of personality», «students with low level of educational
achievements» and their interpretation in the area of methodology of teaching Ukrainian literature are presented.
Core ideas of the education of «problem» students during the study of artistic work have been established: fiction serves an important means of spiritual formation of students; education is a systemic change of personality for the purpose of its purposeful formation; the main components of the education of the spiritual world of schoolchildren are the relevant knowledge, regulating activities and ways of action; In the case of the spiritual education of students with cognitive difficulties, it is necessary to systematically use four main factors: the content of education, methods
and forms of learning, random or specially designed educational situations, the personality of the teacher. So Methodological conditions for the education of the spiritual world of students with a low level of literary development are:
1) personal and activity approaches to the process of education; 2) taking into account the specifics of the art of the word; 3) determination of the structure of the personality traits of students with a low level of literary development and the signs of their educational achievements; 4) modeling the education of the spirituality of such students by means of Ukrainian literature on the basis of the technology of the correction-developmental educational effects of the teacher; 5) reliance on persuasion and suggestion as the main methods of corrected education; 6) use of individual and group forms of work; 7) designing educational situations on the material of the works being taught, in particular education by examples; 8) taking into account age-related psycho-mental characteristics and individual abilities of students; 9) development of educational tasks and corresponding algorithms for overcoming cognitive difficulties of students; 10) humanization of pedagogical influences.

Authors: Khodasevich L. S. , Khudoev E. S. , Naslednikova I. O. , Khodasevich A. L.
Published: November 2019

This literature review provides an overview of endoecological rehabilitation and treatment of oncological patients using Yu. M. Levin's method, in which the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis is achieved by combined or sequential stimulation of interstitial humoral transport and lymphatic drainage by various types of exposure. We present current understanding of the relationship between endointoxication syndrome and cancer and its complications and provide background for the use of endoecological rehabilitation in oncology. So far, this method is not widely used in medical practice among cancer patients due to contraindications. In recent years, interest in the potential of physiotherapy in the treatment of neoplasms has increased. Endoecological rehabilitation and treatment is carried out using specially selected herbal medical products and original physiotherapeutic procedures. In sanatorium-resort conditions, the latter replace natural physical factors, which seem to be more effective and have a wider range of effects than a similar set of instrumental physiotherapy.

Both liability and transparency could increase the people's trustiness to the zakat institution. In the end, it could raise Islamic social welfare. This research has produced a web-based system for LAZM (Lembaga Amil Zakat Mesjid) institutions to facilitate the muzakkis in donating the Zakat anytime and anywhere. Guiding the institution in calculating the number of donations obtained, keeping the muzakkis' data, distributing the donations, and creating the donations' report to the BAZNAS are the system features. This system also builds the network between LAZM institutions for the easiness of sharing funds and data. Assisting Muzzakis in finding the nearest mosque to distribute the Zakat, the system presents the map of the mosques.Keywords: amil, mosque, zakat, muzzaki
Twenty Years of Cerebellar Degeneration Research at the Department of Pathological Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Pilsen, Charles University
Authors: VOŽEH F.
Published: November 2019

Mutant Lurcher mice represent an animal model of naturally occurring cerebellar degeneration. A gene mutation causes the demise of all Purkinje cells, as along with certain other types, as well as the functional elimination of the cerebellar cortex. Involvement in the research using this model of the C3H strain began at the Department of Physiology, UCL in 1995/96. It continued in scientific cooperation with other European laboratories where we obtained Lurcher mice of the B6CBA strain. The aim of the effort was first to identify the extent to which the cerebellum is involved in the higher nervous activity, i.e. cognitive and other functions. In that research, use was made of an entire array of methodological procedures to examine learning, memory, motor functions and emotional behavior. It was completed with an electrophysiological examination of the brain and special microscopic procedures. The results demonstrated that the cerebellum (aside from its traditional tasks) does in fact play a significant role in cognitive function, emotions, etc. It was further found that the neurodegenerative processes also affected the immune and endocrine functions, confirming the concept of the unity of the psycho-neuroendocrine-immune system. Surprisingly, despite their neurological impairment, the affected animals were able to learn to some extent and, make progress with physical training, improving not only their motor skills but also learning and memory, including deferring of signs of aging. These particular findings may prove useful for human medicine.

Supercritical Solvent Composition Influence on Bio-oil Model Compound Deoxygenation
Authors: Stepacheva A. , Guseva P. , Dozhdelev A.
Published: November 2019

Hydrofining of oxygen-containing compounds of bio-oil allows efficient use of the final product as a liquid fuel from biomass. Deoxygenation is considered to be one of the most perspective ways to modernize bio-oil. Generally, deoxygenation is carried out under fairly strict conditions in the presence of hydrogen in a medium of high-boiling hydrocarbons. This paper describes a new approach to deoxygenation of model compounds of bio-oil using supercritical liquids as a solvent and hydrogen donor. The possibility of using a complex solvent consisting of non-polar n-hexane with a low critical point (Tc = 234.5 °C, Pc = 3.02 MPa) and propanol-2 used as a hydrogen donor is evaluated. Experiments have shown that in the presence of 20 vol. % propanol-2 in n-hexane a maximum (99%) conversion of model bio-oil compounds with the formation of phenols with a yield of up to 95% is observed.
Transition of Nanoparticles Fе3O4 and Al in a Simplified Aquatic Food Chain
Authors: Agayeva N.
Published: November 2019

This article presents the results of experiments on the transitions of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (20–30 nm) and Al (18 nm) from one organism to another, making up a simple food chain (plant–mollusk–fish). In experiments, mollusks (Melonopsis praemorsa) feed on the leaves of plant (Elodea canadensis) after being contaminated with Al or Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Nanoparticles were detected using TEM analysis in the cells of the mollusk’s organs. Then the fish (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were fed with mollusks. The distribution and localization of nanoparticles in fish organs has been determined. Experimental results showed that nanoparticles can pass from one organism to another in the food chain. Nanoparticles accumulate mainly in the liver of mollusks and fish.
Muriel Rukeyser and the Security of the Imagination: Poetry and Propaganda in 1940s America
Authors: Careless Eleanor
Published: November 2019

This article begins by situating Muriel Rukeyser's call for ‘the security of the imagination’ within the highly charged historical contexts of the 1940s, a decade bracketed not only by war but by America's growing obsession with security – from President Roosevelt's ‘Four Freedoms’ speech of 1941 to the rise of McCarthyism at the end of the forties. It then examines how Rukeyser's work as a propagandist, a poet and an essayist in the 1940s was deeply shaped by her involvement with the American security services. It further shows how Rukeyser sought to combine words and images in both her war posters and her poems in an attempt to forge an expansive, inclusive and antifascist mode of representation. In a significant departure from other studies of this period, this article brings original archival sources into contact with Rukeyser's poetry, and reads these literary and archival documents through the theoretical lens of security studies. In the face of an increasingly paranoid, repressive political climate, Rukeyser's wartime propaganda work and poetry offers ways of thinking past dominant assumptions structuring the discourse of security.
‘Everything's been done before’: Jean Rhys, Translation, and the Politics of Originality
Authors: Taylor-Batty Juliette
Published: November 2019

This article explores questions of ‘originality’ and textual ‘ownership’ in the work of Jean Rhys and argues that her fiction presents a pervasive and unsettling challenge to the post-Romantic notion of ‘original’ literary production as organically ‘rooted’ in ‘national’ culture. I first focus on Rhys's treatment of questions of authorship and appropriation in ‘Again the Antilles’ and ‘Let Them Call It Jazz’ in the light of archival documents which indicate a pervasive anxiety of originality. I then move on to examine the relationship between authorship and translation that is revealed in an early typescript draft of Rhys's only explicitly ‘derivative’ text, ‘The Chevalier of the Place Blanche’. If ‘Let Them Call It Jazz’ can be seen to present the power of a nomadic, anonymous art that resists and destabilises the system of cultural capital and authorial ‘ownership’, a story like ‘Chevalier’, I argue, begins to gesture towards such an art.

This study sought to develop and validate an instrument measuring cyberbullying among Malaysian youths. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was employed to determine the best sub-factors and items for the instrument, while confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed to test and validate the measurement model. Results from EFA on 38 items showed that the items were pooled into four sub-factors. Meanwhile, results from CFA indicated that eight items had to be discarded in order to confirm that the model was fit. Overall, the final version of the instrument consisted of four cyberbullying sub-factors, namely, impersonation (13 items), cyberstalking and harassment (nine items), flaming (four items), and elimination (four items).

Published: November 2019

The use of water for wudhu activities in general uses a manually tapped faucet so that water from the tank will come out. But performing wudhu in this way can result in waste of water in the reservoir. If the faucet continues to burn during the ablution process, there will be a time when water is not needed, that is when the process of washing the body part intended in ablution, so that at that time the water will be wasted. Another problem is if the supply of water sources is limited or in difficult terrain. Therefore it is necessary to make a tool that can improve the effectiveness of using ablution water using infrared sensor application that will activate the valve and open the tap water automatically only if there is a hand or body part detected by the sensor. The speed of the water being pumped will be further slowed by using the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) method according to the water level of the tank that is detected by the ultrasonic sensor. The results of the study have been done sensitivity of ultrasonic sensors to the PWM control linearity error of 2.02%. And Data Test results of faucet ablation water wudhu adjustable infrared sensor can detect the object distance as far as 5-30 cm. If the input object is more than 30 cm, then the water does not come out.

Profil Rasul Paulus Dalam Surat 1 Korintus Dan Relevansinya Bagi Hamba-Hamba Tuhan Di Gereja Pantekosta di Indonesia Rungkut Surabaya
Authors: Zaluchu Julianus
Published: November 2019

The profile of God's servants is a very important teaching that God has entrusted to His church on this earth. God's servants often face enormous challenges in delivering the teachings of God's Word. Such as offers to compromise, participate in committing crimes, unhealthy ambitions to gain a position, engage in the business world and materialism.

   In the use of wisdom it is not uncommon for God's servants to make their own decisions without involving God. In terms of ethics, God's servants experienced a fall by the temptation of wealth, throne and women. There is even a servant of God directly involved in business and politics so that it deviates far from the teachings of God's Word. Many of God's servants consider it more powerful and pretend to know because they have many congregations, and have spiritual gifts such as speaking in tongues.

   To get maximum results, in this study the authors used qualitative research methods, historical research methods and descriptive research methods. Qualitative research methods by distributing questionnaires to congregants and to several servants of God who serve in the GPdI Rungkut church. This study collected data from the results of the distribution of questionnaire sheets to 175 eligible congregations to fill them.

   The conclusions of this research are 1) The Apostle Paul is a servant of God who was called by God to carry out His mission, which is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people; 2) First Corinthians describes the profile of the apostle Paul as a servant of God; 3) The Apostle Paul as a servant of God should be emulated by God's servants in Indonesia in general and in particular God's servants in the GPdI Rungkut Surabaya church; 4) God's servants must have knowledge about the profile taught by the apostle Paul so that they have a humble attitude, that is, an attitude that is not defensive when faced with resistance and a sincere attitude to help others; 5) Servants of God serve willingly and not accentuate their ministry so that praise is given from God not from humans; and 6) Servants of God have integrity and strict adherence to the spiritual laws contained in God's word.

The increasing burden of heart failure globally can be partly attributed to the increased prevalence of diabetes, and the subsequent development of a distinct form of heart failure known as diabetic cardiomyopathy. Despite this, effective treatment options have remained elusive, due partly to the lack of an experimental model that adequately mimics human disease. In the current study, we combined three consecutive daily injections of low-dose streptozotocin with high-fat diet, in order to recapitulate the long-term complications of diabetes, with a specific focus on the diabetic heart. At 26 weeks of diabetes, several metabolic changes were observed including elevated blood glucose, glycated haemoglobin, plasma insulin and plasma C-peptide. Further analysis of organs commonly affected by diabetes revealed diabetic nephropathy, underlined by renal functional and structural abnormalities, as well as progressive liver damage. In addition, this protocol led to robust left ventricular diastolic dysfunction at 26 weeks with preserved systolic function, a key characteristic of patients with type 2 diabetes-induced cardiomyopathy. These observations corresponded with cardiac structural changes, namely an increase in myocardial fibrosis, as well as activation of several cardiac signalling pathways previously implicated in disease progression. It is hoped that development of an appropriate model will help to understand some the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the accelerated progression of diabetic complications, leading ultimately to more efficacious treatment options.
A New Look at the Structures of Old Sepsis Actors by Exploratory Data Analysis Tools

Published: November 2019

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that accounts for numerous deaths worldwide, usually complications of common community infections (i.e., pneumonia, etc), or infections acquired during the hospital stay. Sepsis and septic shock, its most severe evolution, involve the whole organism, recruiting and producing a lot of molecules, mostly proteins. Proteins are dynamic entities, and a large number of techniques and studies have been devoted to elucidating the relationship between the conformations adopted by proteins and what is their function. Although molecular dynamics has a key role in understanding these relationships, the number of protein structures available in the databases is so high that it is currently possible to build data sets obtained from experimentally determined structures. Techniques for dimensionality reduction and clustering can be applied in exploratory data analysis in order to obtain information on the function of these molecules, and this may be very useful in immunology to better understand the structure-activity relationship of the numerous proteins involved in host defense, moreover in septic patients. The large number of degrees of freedom that characterize the biomolecules requires special techniques which are able to analyze this kind of data sets (with a small number of entries respect to the number of degrees of freedom). In this work we analyzed the ability of two different types of algorithms to provide information on the structures present in three data sets built using the experimental structures of allosteric proteins involved in sepsis. The results obtained by means of a principal component analysis algorithm and those obtained by a random projection algorithm are largely comparable, proving the effectiveness of random projection methods in structural bioinformatics. The usefulness of random projection in exploratory data analysis is discussed, including validation of the obtained clusters. We have chosen these proteins because of their involvement in sepsis and septic shock, aimed to highlight the potentiality of bioinformatics to point out new diagnostic and prognostic tools for the patients.

Published: November 2019

In this study, six different sofrito formulations were compared with the raw recipe for total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity tested by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) methods. The volatile profile was also obtained by the headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC–MS) procedure. The cooking process and the addition of herbs, and garlic improved the final content of antioxidant compounds compared to the basic recipe and the raw ingredients. The total volatile content was higher in the samples that contained rosemary and thymus. Some of the volatiles had proven antioxidant properties and for that reason the sofrito with rosemary with the higher volatile content was also the one with the higher antioxidant capacity and TPC. In conclusion, as well as the processing technique, the addition of selected typical Mediterranean herbs apart from given flavour can contribute to improving the nutritional antioxidant profile of dishes and be used as a natural method to increase the shelf-life of preparation.
Conjugation of Urokinase to Water-Soluble Magnetic Nanoparticles for Enhanced Thrombolysis
Authors: Li Qian , Liu Xiaojun , Lu Zhen , Yang Wenjun , Lei Zili , Chang Ming
Published: November 2019

In this study, covalent conjugation of thrombolytic drug urokinase to water-soluble magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) is proposed to enhance the efficiency of thrombolysis. Hydrophobic NPs of oleic acid (OA)-coated Fe3O4 are first synthesized and then surface-modified with the amphipathic copolymer poly(maleic anhydride-alt-1-octadecylene) (PMAO) to form water-soluble NPs of PMAO-OA-Fe3O4 with monodispersed sizes. PMAO-OA-Fe3O4 NPs display a good water-based stability without aggregation at near neutral pH and show good magnetic separation characteristics. The thrombolytic drug urokinase is then covalently linked with the former product through dehydration condensation reaction between the amino and carboxyl produced by dehydration of the anhydride under N-Ethyl-N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS). Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images and dynamic light scattering (DLS) results show that the urokinase@PMAO-OA-Fe3O4 NPs are uniformly dispersed in water. The in vitro thrombolytic effect based on the manipulation of magnetic coupling, combined with static and alternating current (AC) magnetic fields, in a mimic blood-vascular system was studied. Drug release test shows that AC magnetic field can be used as switch and accelerator for NPs to release drugs. In addition, thrombolytic efficiency is nearly four times that of pure urokinase. This indicates that the coupling magnetic field may be a promising method to improve thrombolytic effect of the prepared magnetic carrier drug conjugates.

Gross calorific value (GCV) is one of the essential parameters for evaluating coal quality. Therefore, accurate GCV prediction is one of the primary ways to improve heating value as well as coal production. A novel evolutionary-based predictive system was proposed in this study for predicting GCV with high accuracy, namely the particle swarm optimization (PSO)-support vector regression (SVR) model. It was developed based on the SVR and PSO algorithms. Three different kernel functions were employed to establish the PSO-SVR models, including radial basis function, linear, and polynomial functions. Besides, three benchmark machine learning models including classification and regression trees (CART), multiple linear regression (MLR), and principle component analysis (PCA) were also developed to estimate GCV and then compared with the proposed PSO-SVR model; 2583 coal samples were used to analyze the proximate components and GCV for this study. Then, they were used to develop the mentioned models as well as check their performance in experimental results. Root-mean-squared error (RMSE), correlation coefficient (R2), ranking, and intensity color criteria were used and computed to evaluate the GCV predictive models developed. The results revealed that the proposed PSO-SVR model with radial basis function had better accuracy than the other models. The PSO algorithm was optimized in the SVR model with high efficiency. These should be used as a supporting tool in practical engineering to determine the heating value of coal seams in complex geological conditions.

Published: November 2019

This paper presents a new model based on the Monte Carlo simulation method for considering the uncertainty of electric vehicles’ charging station’s load in a day-ahead operation optimization of a smart micro-grid. In the proposed model, some uncertain effective factors on the electric vehicles’ charging station’s load including battery capacity, type of electric vehicles, state of charge, charging power level and response to energy price changes are considered. In addition, other uncertainties of operating parameters such as market price, photovoltaic generation and loads are also considered. Therefore, various stochastic scenarios are generated and involved in a cost minimization problem, which is formulated in the form of mixed-integer linear programming. Finally, the proposed model is simulated on a typical micro-grid with two 60 kW micro-turbines, a 60 kW photovoltaic unit and some loads. The results showed that by applying the proposed model for estimation of charging station load, the total operation cost decreased.

Published: November 2019

An electromyogram (EMG) is a signal for muscle output that indicates the degree of muscle contraction and relaxation. For these muscle signals to be output, certain signals must be received from the brain. To analyze these relations, electroencephalograms (EEGs) of the brain are measured to extract brain waves that are active at that time, although it is difficult to identify or distinguish expression patterns of the brain signal through EMG output. However, the brain signal operates via a partially reached signal and transmits the results of the operation. In this study, we analyze signals transmitted in this process and confirm whether human motion can be predicted from brain signals. It is not easy to guess the exact protocol of the brain using a general method, because a biosignal is a signal that differs from person to person. However, by analyzing the signals displayed by a particular user through actions, it is possible to determine the presence or absence of a signal to distinguish muscle movements. In the course of signal transduction, the energy of the left and right brain waves changes in the form of energy or signals that cause an arm’s movement. Responding to this, we analyze the signal transmission process of brain signals and EMGs to analyze loss and generated output. We extract EEG data from brain waves and determine EMG signals from the energy characteristics; we then collect and merge the results of spectra analysis through the Common Spatial Pattern (CSP) filter and explore the basis for predicting wills during muscle signals and stimulation transmission. The active information of the data within the working time of left and right brain waves depends on the changes of the left and right brain waves. It is proposed that the appearance of similar signals at these specific timescales can help identify the operations of the arms and outputs by the left and right biceps.
Accurate Constant Phase Elements Dedicated for Audio Signal Processing
Authors: Petrzela Jiri
Published: November 2019

This review paper introduces real-valued two-terminal fully passive RC ladder structures of the so-called constant phase elements (CPEs). These lumped electronic circuits can be understood as two-terminal elements described by fractional-order (FO) dynamics, i.e., current–voltage relation described by non-integer-order integration or derivation. Since CPEs that behave almost ideally are still not available as off-the-shelf components, the correct behavior must be approximated in the frequency domain and is valid only in the predefined operational frequency interval. In this study, an audio frequency range starting with 20 Hz and ending with 20 kHz has been chosen. CPEs are designed and values tabularized for predefined phase shifts that are commonly used in practice. If constructed carefully, a maximum phase error less than 0.5° can be achieved. Several examples of direct utilization of designed CPEs in signal processing applications are provided.

Published: November 2019

This paper presents the study of the properties of objects that were fabricated with fused deposition modeling technology while using Poly (lactic acid)/Walnut shell powder (PLA/WSP) biocomposite filaments. The WSP was treated while using NaOH followed by silane. The infrared spectrum of treated and untreated WSP was characterized. The result was that thermal and mechanical properties could be improved by adjusting the concentration of silane. The experimental results showed: the surface compatibility between WSP and PLA was dramatically improved through treatment with KH550. The crystalline, thermal gravity, and thermal degradation temperatures of biocomposite with untreated WSP were improved from 1.46%, 60.3 °C, and 239.87 °C to 2.84%, 61.3 °C, and 276.37 °C for the biocomposites with treated WSP, respectively. The tensile, flexural, and compressive strengths of biocomposites were raised each by 8.07%, 14.66%, and 23.32%. With the determined silane concentration, PLA/10–15 wt.% treated WSP biocomposites were processed and tested. The results showed that the tensile strength was improved to 56.2 MPa, which is very near to that of pure PLA. Finally, the porous scaffolds with controllable porosity and pore size were manufactured.

The need for practical biomarkers for early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains largely unmet. Here we investigated the use of blood-based microRNAs as prognostic biomarkers for AD and their application in a novel electrochemical microfluidic device for microRNA detection. MicroRNA transcriptome was profiled in plasma from patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD. MicroRNAs Let-7b and microRNA-206 were validated at elevated levels in MCI and AD, respectively. MicroRNA-206 displayed a strong correlation with cognitive decline and memory deficits. Longitudinal follow-ups over five years identified microRNA-206 increases preceding the onset of dementia. MicroRNA-206 was increased in unprocessed plasma of AD and MCI subjects, detected by our microfluidic device. While increased Let-7b levels in plasma may be used to identify patients with MCI, changes in plasma levels of microRNA-206 may be used to predict cognitive decline and progression towards dementia at an MCI stage. MicroRNA quantification via a microfluidic device could provide a practical cost-effective tool for the stratification of patients with MCI according to risk of developing AD.
