Authors: Yu Yuanhui , Xiao Weihua , Wang Yicheng , Shang Songhao , Wang Hejia , Huang Ya
Published: September 2020

Water conservancy projects are one of the main sources of carbon emissions. Nearly 60% of river revetments in developed countries are treated with ecological slope protection technologies to reduce carbon emissions. Ecological river revetment has been widely adopted as a measure for slope protection. Presently, the study on carbon emission reduction mainly focuses on agricultural production, petroleum exploitation, residential life, and transportation. No significant research has been made on the effects of river revetment protection projects on carbon emissions. This study evaluates the carbon emissions from structural and ecological revetments, and its impact on China's climate. Results show that the ecological revetment can reduce carbon emissions significantly, by 93% as compared to the structural revetment. Moreover, the construction cost of an ecological slope is 37% cheaper than that of a structural slope. This research proves that ecological river slope protection technologies are vital for reducing China's carbon emission.
Assessing sectoral heterogeneity and leadership in urban water management networks
Authors: Bell Emily V. , Henry Adam Douglas , Pivo Gary
Published: September 2020

Many urban systems worldwide face increasing complexity and uncertainty in water governance. As a result, integrated urban water management (IUWM) has become increasingly common. The IUWM paradigm conceptualizes water supply, conveyance, and treatment as an integrated system to improve water management efficiency and sustainability. This approach often presents new responsibilities that require coordinated efforts and leadership, but factors such as professional protocols, limited time, legal mandates, and budgetary constraints may limit joint implementation. To understand how policy stakeholders translate goals into action, we ask: How do sectoral affiliation of governance stakeholder organizations and leadership influence patterns of joint implementation of programs and policies over time? Using inferential social network analysis, this paper examines how coordination and leadership play a role in the implementation of IUWM. We find that the presence of leaders has a significant effect on joint implementation of integrated programs and policies over time. Counter to our expectations, however, organizations from the same sector (e.g., local government, non-profit, private, etc.) tend to implement IUWM policies and programs together.
THE ROLE OF SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONES IN ATTRACTING FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT TO DEVELOPING ECONOMIES
Authors: Progunova L. V. , Masalytin V. I.
Published: September 2020

The article analyzes the possibilities of developing countries to use special economic zones (SEZs) to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) as a source of economic growth, especially in times of global economic downturn. Special economic zones have played and continue to play an important role as drivers of the global economy, passing through themselves about 30 percent of world trade and affecting the growth of well-being and prosperity of people around the world. Each zone is unique and has its own specialization. Subject to a well-thoughtout concept, political will, the maintenance of an adequate infrastructure, and the use of world best practices, SEZs help to attract investments to create jobs, increase income and export, receive foreign exchange, connect to international supply chains and develop indirect employment outside the SEZ, but inside economies that accept FDI. The impact of SEZs on FDI inflows is examined using examples from different geographical regions. More than two thirds of the SEZ managed to attract FDI to their territory, and about half – significant. The leaders in attracting foreign direct investment are zones created on the territory of developing countries and especially Asian states. Among the top ten zones for attracting FDI, eight zones have been created in the developing world. In our opinion, these results can be considered essential for the further study, use and improvement of the SEZ instrument as an investment driver of developing economies.

Published: September 2020

The research of integration development processes within the framework of the EAEU in the current conditions of general slowdown in global economic growth, decrease in production rates, unfavorable conditions in certain market segments, and energy price volatility seems to be an urgent task. The basis for the integration of the EAEU member countries is the formation of common markets for goods and services, the development degree of which in many respects depends on the strategic direction of further deepening and expanding of their mutual cooperation, national competitiveness increasing, as well as the success of integration into the global trade and economic architecture. The purpose of the study is to analyze the current stage of mutual trade of the Eurasian Union member countries and to determine the main advantages of development of goods and services common markets. The study is based on the hypothesis that the integration processes in the Eurasian space development promote stabilization of the transformation processes, preserve old and develop new trade and economic relations between the member countries of the Eurasian Union. General scientific methods of analysis, logical generalization and comparison were used to characterize the dynamics of mutual trade of the EAEU countries, to identify existing problems in its development, to determine the integration benefits of the EAEU countries from the common markets’ development, taking into account the national interests of each country. In the course of the study, the authors have presented the arguments that all the EAEU member countries received certain advantages from the integration processes development: there is an increase in mutual trade in goods and services within the Eurasian Union, the tightness of economic ties that will contribute to the development of both inter-industry and intra-industry mutual cooperation in many economic areas within the framework of emerging common markets. At the same time, a number of contradictions and problems have been identified that require solution and coordination of actions between the countries of the Eurasian Union in order to achieve future economic growth and competitiveness increase.
Biologiczna definicja śmierci

Published: September 2020

In dem Ausatz geht es um die biologischen Todesbegrife, die der Rafael Ferber in dem Buch: Philosophische Grundbegrife, Band 2, Kapitel V: Tod, München 2003, 197-227, behandelt. Die biologische Definition des Todes, die von August Weismann stammt. bildet einen Ausgangspunkt zu weiteren Űberlegungen dieses Problems. Es wurde fest betont der Unterschied zwischen einer Todesdefinition und den Todeskriterien, die in der Medizin, als einer praktischen Disziplin, wichtige Rolle spielen. Man hat herasgehebt folgende Todeskriterien: 1. Herztod, 2. Hirntod, 2.1. Ganzhirntod, 2.2. Teilhirntod und 3. Testverfahren – ob die Kriterien erfüllt sind. Die Todeskrieterien kann man auch in einer formaler Gestalt, als eine Operationsdefinition darstellen. Entscheidend ist an den Bestimmungen des Todeskriteriums, daβ das Eintreten des menschlichen Todes heute auf einer Festsetzung beruht. Deshalb ist in der Gegenwart das Eintreten des Todes häufig keine natürliche oder reale Tatsache mehr, sondern eine institutionelle Tatsache, die durch semantischen Regeln konstituiert wurde. Die biologische Todesdefinition ist keine Menschentodesdefinition.

Published: September 2020

Background

In light of the scarcity of culturally tailored mobile health (mHealth) lifestyle interventions for African Americans, we designed and pilot tested the Fostering African-American Improvement in Total Health (FAITH!) App in a community-based participatory research partnership with African American churches to promote cardiovascular health and wellness in this population.

Objective

This report presents the results of a formative evaluation of the FAITH! App from participants in an intervention pilot study.

Methods

We included 2 semistructured focus groups (n=4 and n=5) to explore participants’ views on app functionality, utility, and satisfaction as well as its impact on healthy lifestyle change. Sessions were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim, and qualitative data were analyzed by using general inductive analysis to generate themes.

Results

In total, 6 overarching themes emerged among the 9 participants: overall impression, content usefulness, formatting, implementation, impact, and suggestions for improvement. Underpinning the themes was a high level of agreement that the intervention facilitated healthy behavioral change through cultural tailoring, multimedia education modules, and social networking. Suggestions for improvement were streamlining the app self-monitoring features, prompts to encourage app use, and personalization based on individuals’ cardiovascular risk.

Conclusions

This formative evaluation found that the FAITH! App had high reported satisfaction and impact on the health-promoting behaviors of African Americans, thereby improving their overall cardiovascular health. Further development and testing of the app among African Americans is warranted.

The Influence of Jogjakarta Outer Ring Road Development Plan on the National Roads in DIY
Authors: Romadhona Prima
Published: September 2020

The development of Jogja Outer Ring Road (JORR) has been issued by the government as one of possible alternatives to deal with traffic jams. The ring road has occupied the existing road with an extension of 7 meters to seize 14 meters. In the future, ring road will pass through 22 districts in 3 regencies. In this study, there were 4 main streets, i.e. Solo-Jogja street, Kaliurang St, Magelang St, and Palagan Tentara Pelajar St, set as the objects of comparison to the existence of JORR, which was analyzed three probabilities, namely 1) without JORR, 2) JORR of government route, and 3) actualized JORR with alternative route. As a result, V/C ratio of four surround roads with JORR were better. Additionally, with alternate JORR the result was much better until 5 more times. In the opposite, there were 3 roads surrounds that had more performance than the existence of JORR. Based on this study, the V/C ratio of Solo-Jogja St in front of the eastern part of Kalasan district as the north part, it decreased for about 8.79% if JORR was actualized and 60.78% if JORR was actualized with alternate road. At the western part, there was increased performance of 6.55% if JORR was actualized and 49.42% if JORR was actualized with alternate road. At southern part, there was raised performance around 16.25% if JORR was actualized and 5.27% if JORR was actualized with alternate road.

Published: September 2020

The suspected rice virus is found in the field, namely the tungrovirus which is transmitted by green leafhoppers (Nephotettix virescens). The study aimed to detect the tungrovirus molecularly and examine the resistance response of six rice varieties from the transmission of tungrovirus samples from South Sulawesi on a greenhouse scale. Based on the results of molecular detection with RTSV PCR of the double infected sample with DNA bands 1115 bp and RTBV of around 430 bp, Sidrap, and Maros samples were infected by 430 bp size RTBV, while Wajo sample was not detected by both viruses. The results of RTBV sequence analysis showed that the grouping of Sidrap was still one group with Maros and Pinrang samples and different from the group of samples from Malaysia, Thailand, and Philippines. While the grouping of RTSV shows that Pinrang samples are still one group with samples from Bali, Subang, and different from those of the Philippines, India, and Malaysia. The results of transmission in the greenhouse on six rice varieties (TN1, Ciherang, Mekongga, Tukad Unda, Inpari 36, Inpari 37) showed different plant resistance responses such as susceptible, moderately resistant, and resistant reactions based on the amount of disease intensity caused. Varieties that are classified as susceptible are TN1 and Ciherang varieties, moderately resistant, namely Mekongga and Tukad Unda varieties, and resistant varieties namely Inpari 36 and Inpari 37 varieties.

Published: September 2020

Purple blotch and fusarium basal rot are important shallot diseases which have caused significant yield loss. An alternative control method for these diseases is the use of biocontrol agents, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and Trichoderma. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of AMF and Trichoderma sp. on shallot growth and disease suppression. The experiment was set as a Complete Randomized Block Design with three treatments and three replications. The treatments were AMF, Trichoderma sp., and control. Each treatment was applied to a row and 15 shallot plants were taken as samples for observation. Disease severity of purple blotch and fusarium basal rot, plant height, number of leaves and shallot resistances to Fusarium solani were observed during this study. Results demonstrated that at seven weeks after planting, the application of AMF and Trichoderma sp. tended to suppress fusarium basal rot to 0.89% and 1.78% respectively, but only the application of AMF that suppressed purple blotch disease to 0.44%. The application of AMF and Trichoderma sp. also tended to increase plant height, number of leaves, leaf fresh weight and dry weight, root length, and bulb weight. In addition, AMF and Trichoderma sp. application increased shallot resistances against Fusarium solani.
Training Detection of Preeclampsia Risk Factors for Physicians in Primary Care with Experience-Based Learning Methods: A Quasi Experimental Study
Authors: Prayoga Brantas , Prawitasari Shinta , Claramita Mora
Published: September 2020

Background: Training for primary care physicians in the management of pregnant women often combines detection of the risk of bleeding, risk of infection and the risk of preeclampsia. Meanwhile, preeclampsia contributes to the world's largest maternal mortality rate, including in Indonesia. Primary care physicians’ knowledge about the risk factors and the early detection of preeclampsia is still very limited. It is therefore necessary to detect preeclampsia risk factors as early as possible and perform proper, fast and effective therapeutic diagnosis to prevent the onset of preeclampsia and to make efforts to safeguard maternal health and the survival and wellness of her baby. Experiential learning was selected in this training as it allows for sustainable learning.Methods: Quasi experimental study was conducted with 30 physicians of Community and Primary Health Care Center (Puskesmas) who were randomly divided into 2 groups, i.e. treatment group and control group each with 15 people. The treatment group was given training by 2 cycles of experiential learning, then both groups rated knowledge with vignette questionnaires from international sources that have been validated by experts in obstetrics, with 1-week interval time between the post-test and pre-test.Results: There was an increase of knowledge in primary care physicians after receiving training for both the treatment group (p = 0.034) or the control group (p = 0.000). The increase of knowledge in the treatment group after training was higher than the control group with the mean difference of 5.733. This result shows that the use of experiential learning methods proved effective.Conclusion: The detection training of risk factors for preeclampsia increases the physician's knowledge in managing preeclampsia in primary care.
Menikah adalah Ibadah: Peran Agama dalam Mengkonstruksi Pengalaman Melajang di Indonesia
Authors: Himawan Karel K.
Published: September 2020

Religion plays a major role in the lives of most Indonesians. While most religions favour marriage, little is known regarding how religion shapes the singleness experience, especially from the Indonesian perspective. The study aims to explore whether and how religion constructs the meaning of singleness and contributes to the quality of life of Indonesian unmarried individuals. Multistage mixed-methods study was employed to answer the research questions through two stages. Stage one was an online survey to 635 participants (Mage = 31.49; SD = 5.49) across three groups (single, single in a relationship, and married). Stage two utilised interviews to 40 unmarried participants (Mage = 33.14; SD = 4.04). The survey results suggest that as a group, single individuals indicated lower levels of quality of life compared to married people. Among single participants, multivariate analysis suggests that religiosity significantly increases life satisfaction, but does not reduce loneliness. Three themes emerged regarding the role of religion in constructing the meaning of singleness: singleness as a God-willed temporary period, a period to embrace life outside marriage, and a period where conservative socio-religious norms are negotiated with contemporary values. The study highlights the complex and pivotal role of religion in the Indonesian singleness experience.
Norms in Transition? The Relationship between Education and Singlehood
Authors: Setyonaluri Diahhadi , Maghfirah Aidah , Aryaputra Calvin
Published: September 2020

This article examines the role of education in the likelihood of being never married among older adults in Indonesia. Following the Multiple Equilibrium Framework, our paper argues that increasing education imposes a more common trend of singlehood since marriage continues to be a near universal norm in Indonesia. Previous research found that increase in education delays marriage, but few studies have paid attention to the role of education in the decision to stay single. We use Indonesia National Socio-Economic Survey or SUSENAS 2007 and 2017 - two datasets with ten years span - to see whether there has been a change in the effect of education on the probability of permanent singlehood among women and men aged 40-65. The result from the logistic regression confirms a U-shaped relationship between education and singleness propensity. Our key finding is that an additional year of schooling reduces the probability of being single up until senior secondary level, while having education beyond high school increases the probability of being single. Our result implies that traditional norm towards gender role remains strong in Indonesia. We also find that both highly educated women and men have similar likelihood to stay single in this setting.

Published: September 2020

Economic development and social-political change in Indonesia have been accompanied by wider education access especially for women. These have resulted in a number of profound inter-generational shifts in the process of transition to work and marriage – one of them is a trend toward self-choice marriage. This study uses qualitative methods in particular in-depth interviews and focus group discussion as data collection techniques. By combining two theoretical lenses of generation change and post-feminism, this article explores the practice and meaning of choices in the quest for an ideal husband, through exploring the subjective narrative of four young women. All informants have their own point of views about the ideal partner criteria, thus representing uniqueness and diversity of contemporary generation. Terms such as pious, responsible and economically-established are still considered important in their imagination, however, the most essential for an ideal partner is a prospective man who can negotiate between work role, family and tradition in the context of late modernity. It can be argued that those views are frequently influenced by existing normative values of family and neighbourhood showing that ‘feminist consciousness’ is still a privilege.

Code-switching as a Bilingual Lexical Strategy
Authors: Wei Longxing , Liu Xuexin
Published: September 2020

Most previous studies of intrasentential Code-switching (CS) (also known as so-called mixed speech) focus on what language items can be switched and how such switched items are configurated at the surface sentence level. Following some theoretical insights and empirical findings of recent psycholinguistic models, this study investigates such a bilingual speech behavior at a rather abstract level by adopting two particular models: the Matrix Language Frame (MLF) Model (Myers-Scotton, 1993b; Myers-Scotton & Jake, 1995), which claims that the two language involved in CS play unequal roles in terms of their respective grammatical and lexical functions, and the Bilingual Lemma Activation (BLA) Model (Wei, 2006, 2020), which claims that lemmas (i.e., abstract entries about a lexeme) are language-specific, language-specific lemmas are in contact in bilingual speech involving CS, and thus the so-called mixed speech is cross-linguistically driven at a lexical level. One of the most important assumptions underlying this study is that bilinguals perform CS as a lexical strategy to make their intended meanings lexical-conceptually and semantic-pragmatically realized. Some typical instances of CS are described and explained at several levels of abstract lexical structure in support of the major claims of the MLF Model and the BLA Model. This study offers an explanation of CS from a particular perspective.

Published: September 2020

Rising demand in the aquaculture sector tends towards finding innovative ways to promote better yield and profitability. Benthic soil microbiota can provide an insight into the potent opportunistic fish pathogens as well as probiotics present in the aquaculture system. This study reports the seasonal diversity and abundance of fifteen culturable pathogenic bacterial strains belonging to the genera of Comamonas, Aeromonas, Providencia, Klebsiella, Escherichia, Acinetobacter, Serratia, Stenotrophomonas, Staphylococcus, and Enterobacter along with nine probiotic strains native to genera of Bacillus and Pseudomonas isolated from an aquaculture farm benthic soil, located in East Kolkata Wetlands, West Bengal, India. Strains are isolated using traditional microbial culture methods and tested for their antimicrobial susceptibility against commonly available antibiotics. 16S rDNA analysis was done for the identification of the strains and the establishment of their phylogenetic relationships. Among the isolates, B. pumilus strain S8 in the pre-monsoon sample, E. coli strain M2aR1 in the monsoon sample, and A. hydrophila strain P6dF1 in the post-monsoon sample were the most abundant having MPN counts of 275±21 x 106 CFU/gram dry soil, 278±18 x 106 CFU/gram dry soil, and 321±28 x 106 CFU/gram dry soil respectively. Data on the temporal diversity, abundance, and drug-susceptibility of prokaryotic fish-pathogens and probiotics can be used to formulate measures for sustainable aquaculture practices with reduced maintenance costs.

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common community acquired infections and can also present with similar lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Moreover, UTI can be a complication of these urological diseases. Thus, this study was conducted in patients with LUTS to find out the prevalence of uro-pathogens and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern so that appropriate antibiotics can be started on clinical suspicion of UTI. The study was conducted over a period of 12 months. Culture and susceptibility of urine specimen was done as per standard microbiological guidelines. Apart from the growth of common bacteria with their antibiogram, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), high level aminoglycoside resistance (HLAR) was investigated among Enterococci, and metallo beta-lactamases(MBL) production was production was investigated among gram-negative pathogens. Out of 407 urine samples included in the study, 80 (19.6%) samples showed bacterial growth. The commonest isolate was E. coli 44 (55 %). Majority of the isolates were multidrug resistant with two E.coli strains showing pan-resistance to the first line drugs tested. Carbapenem resistance was seen in 67.2% of all gram negative isolates tested. Metallo beta-lactamases production was found to be highest among the Klebsiella isolates. Among the Enterobacterales, highest susceptibility was noted to Fosfomycin (87.7%) followed by Nitrofurantoin (62.7%). Similarly in gram positive group, highest susceptibility was again to Fosfomycin followed by Nitrofurantoin. Overall the prevalence of MDR is increasing however Fosfomycin or Nitrofurantoin, both oral antibiotics, can be the considered for starting empirical antibiotic therapy.
Antibacterial Activity And Genotoxicity Effect of Ethanolic Leaves Extract of Rosmarinus Officinalis
Authors: Althobaiti Fayez
Published: September 2020

The recent increasing use of artificial antibiotics has prompted an expansion in resistant strains and high site reactions. Medicinal plants have for quite some time been utilized as traditional medicine to treat pathogenic bacteria. In such manner, consistently numerous scientists are sending a range of plant’s secondary compounds to the customer advertise for the treatment of human illnesses. Accordingly, the distinguishing proof of plant spices with antimicrobial impacts can assist with delivering new medications with a wide range of impacts. The aim of the present research was to examine the ability of ethanolic leaves extracts of Rosmarinus officinalis plant as antibacterial agent against the Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli. The zone of inhibition increased with increase in concentration of the test solution. Higher activity of ethanolic extract was found against S. aureus (2.4 cm) than E. coli (1.8 cm). In addition, the repetitive element PCR (Rep-PCR) significantly showed that several genetic numbers of polymorphic bands were observed in S. aureus and E. coli treated bacteria with leaves extracts and not observed in the control. These results indicate that these extracts have a genotoxicity effect on the two bacterial genomes. The obtained results demonstrate that R. officinalis can be used as a potential source of antibacterial and genotoxicity factors.

Today’s political discourse cannot be separated from the usage of social media. There are plenty of political actors using it to campaign their issues and attack their political rivals to influence public opinion. One of the instruments used by the political actor in using social media is bot accounts. Bot accounts are an automated online account where all or substantially all of the actions or posts of that account are not the result of a person. The usage of bot accounts is viewed as harmful for democracy by many experts on law and democracy. However, lots of states have no regulation regarding the usage of bot accounts, including Indonesia. This article intends to bring legal review on the usage of bot accounts to influence public opinion in Indonesia. By using deliberative democratic theory, this article views that the usage of bot accounts could prevent the objective achievement of democracy based on the 1945 Constitution. The authors recommend the regulation of bot accounts through the revision of Law Number 11 of 2008 concerning Electronic Information and Transactions with bringing up various notable arguments regarding the law implementation.

Kesuliatan yang dihadapi di desa jabung adalah kurangnya penghijauan akses menuju tempat pengrajin topeng sehingga kampung topeng terlihat gersang. Kemudian masih rendahnya pengetahuan pengelolaan sampah/limbah dan manajemen lingkungan produksi yang terkesan berantakan serta bagaimana membuang sisa cat atau tinta lukis topeng dan masih rendahnya kesadaran pengrajin kebersihan dan kesehatan yang menyebabkan para pengrajin tidak menggunakan masker dan sarung tangan ketika membuat topeng dan souvenir lainnya. Penyelesaian masalah yang terjadi pada pengrajin topeng yaitu dengan cara memberi penyuluhan kebersihan lingkungan agar muncul kesadaran para pengrajin akan pentingnya kebersihan lingkungan. Selain itu membantu pengrajin dalam hal mengatur serta menata lingkungan produksi pengrajin topeng. Hasil dari pengabdian ini yaitu adanya peningkatan kualitas kebersihan lingkungan produksi. Kebersihan lingkungan produksi berdampak pada kenyamanan pengrajin topeng dalam menghasilkan karya sehingga para pengrajin lebih giat dalam berkarya dan memberi nilai tambah ekonomi.

Introduction. At present, numerical methods enjoy widespread use in construction practice. They enable performing and analyzing complex non-linear, multi-factor models without excessive analytical procedures. However, as a rule, the most complex tasks, performed in a three-dimensional setting with account taken of physical, geometric and other nonlinearities, are performed in deterministic formulations without the analysis of the stochastic nature of physical processes. This seems particularly strange, given that numerical methods are well-suited for modeling stochastic processes. Numerical probabilistic and statistical approaches (PSA) can be applied to simulate and take into consideration various spatiotemporal aspects of the probabilistic nature of loads and forces, structural system resistances, materials and geological terrains. Even the most advanced numerical models of deterministic physical systems are merely a specific case of probabilistic and statistical modeling: they enable obtaining only one value (point) on the whole field of possible implementations, being unable to demonstrate an objective and exhaustive variety of probable outcomes. This article presents a case study of numerical probabilistic and statistical analyses of loads and forces.

Methods of research. Materials from different sources, such as reference books, regulatory documents, laboratory test results, as well as available experimental data, were used as input parameters. The principal calculation and analysis of the integral function of loads was performed using the Monte Carlo numerical method of probabilistic and statistical modeling and various theoretical (statistical) and empirical distributions, followed by the quantitative assessment of design loads at various confidence probability values.

Results. This study provides an example of the probabilistic and statistical calculation (determination) of the integral function of loads and forces with account taken of different origins of loads and varied input parameter distribution patterns, including empirical distributions. It has proven great importance of accurate description of initial distributions of a random value for the determination of reliable design load values.

Conclusions. Probabilistic and statistical approaches have the ability to objectively assess the performance of structural systems based on the quantitative assessment of the probabilistic nature of load factors. These approaches have huge potential for increasing the reliability of buildings and structures and the cost effectiveness of construction projects.

Introduction. The mission of the research is to analyze the main principles and values of investment construction project management subject to each methodology.

In the late 20th century it became clear that the majority of products, manufactured back in the days of the USSR, had counterparts, made in the Western countries, and the characteristics of the Western counterparts were a lot better. This trend favours the consumer society; however, producers must set new objectives aimed at optimization, quality improvement, and effective management to stay in the market. This is how the need for alternative sources of optimization emerged.

The practical implementation of theoretical project management provisions was among the tools. It tightens control and improves the efficiency of all resources of an enterprise. The application of an advanced approach to projects, implemented by public and private partnerships, will boost interaction between the state and the business community as well as project implementation control. Project management has become an integral project development instrument, applied to software projects and many other types of business activities. The main goal is to decide upon the project methodology.

Materials and methods. The project is based on the analysis of earlier research undertakings performed using methods of theoretical research, based on the study and generalization of performance charts published by domestic and foreign authors in the past.

Conclusions. The co-authors have analyzed project management methodologies, including best practices and templates. A brief analysis of the methodology application track record is performed. The research digest encompasses three principal methodologies; their principles and values are analyzed in the work.

Project deliverables include a comparative analysis of principles underlying PMI, Prince 2, and Agile Manifesto standards. Each principle underlying most widely used international standards of project management is described.

Published: September 2020

El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la relación de las estrategias de regulación emocional reevaluación cognitiva aplicada a tareas escolares para el hogar (RC-TEH) y manejo emocional aplicado a tareas escolares para el hogar (ME-TEH) sobre el desempeño académico (DA) controlando dificultades de memoria de trabajo (dif-MT) en niños que finalizaban la Educación Primaria. Se administró un cuestionario de autoinforme para evaluar la RC-TEH y el ME-TEH a 119 de niños de cuarto, quinto y sexto grado (9 a 11 años de edad) y dos cuestionarios a sus maestros para evaluar su DA y dificultades de MT. Los resultados mostraron que el ME-TEH se asoció con las dimensiones éxito, productividad académica, matemáticas y lectura del DA, incluso cuando se controlaron dif-MT. No se observaron asociaciones significativas de la RC-TEH con el DA, ni de ninguna de las estrategias sobre el control del impulso en situaciones académicas. Se espera que los resultados profundicen en el conocimiento del rol de la regulación emocional en el DA y contribuyan así al contenido de programas de promoción de la regulación emocional diseñados para contextos escolares.
Self-testing of quantum systems: a review
Authors: Šupić Ivan , Bowles Joseph
Published: September 2020

Self-testing is a method to infer the underlying physics of a quantum experiment in a black box scenario. As such it represents the strongest form of certification for quantum systems. In recent years a considerable self-testing literature has developed, leading to progress in related device-independent quantum information protocols and deepening our understanding of quantum correlations. In this work we give a thorough and self-contained introduction and review of self-testing and its application to other areas of quantum information.
