The Selected Problems of Public Transport Organization Using Mathematical Tools on the Example of Poland
Authors: Gołębiowski Piotr , Żak Jolanta , Kisielewski Piotr
Published: September 2020

Public transport plays an increasingly important role in satisfying the transport needs. Travellers’ requirements regarding the quality of services are increasing. In addition
to passenger comfort, other parameters are important (timetable and the state of transport infrastructure). Therefore, methods that determine the appropriate organization of public
transport for an area should be sought. The purpose of the article is to present the most commonly used optimization methods and tools that have been applied to the chosen
problems of organization of public transport mainly in Poland (described in the articles of mainly Polish scientists), but against the background of global research. The article
characterizes the functioning of public transport in Poland. The selected problems of public transport functioning, which can be solved by using optimization methods and tools
were discussed. The chosen methods that were used to formulate and solve the identified problems were indicated. The effects of this article will form part of the work on the
POIR.01.01.01-00-0970/17-00 project "IT system for computer-aided public transport planning" financed by the National Centre for Research and Development.
Transgender embodiment: a feminist, situated neuroscience perspective
Authors: Walsh Reubs , Einstein Gillian
Published: September 2020

The policing of boundaries of acceptable sexual identities and behaviour is a recurring theme in numerous marginalities. Gender (especially womanhood) is often instantiated socially through the harms to which members of that gender are subjected. For transgender people, the assumption that genitals define gender translates the ubiquitous misapprehension that genitals and sex are binary into an assumption that gender must also be binary. This circumscribes the potentiality of cultural intelligibility for trans gender identities, and may interfere with the ability of transgender people to select the most appropriate medical and social means of expressing their authentic identities, even altering what is possible or appropriate, thereby curtailing trans people’s authenticity and freedom. We therefore distinguish social from bodily aspects of gender dysphoria, proposing a model of their distinct, intersecting origins. We explore ways in which transgender medicine reflects aspects of other gendered surgeries, proposing a biopsychosocial understanding of embodiment, including influences of culture on the neurological representation of the body in the somatosensory cortex. This framework proposes that cultural cissexism, causes trans people to experience (neuro)physiological damage, creating or exacerbating the need for medical transition within a framework of individual autonomy. Our social-constructionist feminist neuroscientific account of gendered embodiment highlights the medical necessity of bodily autonomy for trans people seeking surgery or other biomedical interventions, and the ethical burden therein.
Surveillance, and the boundaries of binary gender: flashpoints for queer ethics
Authors: Vivienne Son
Published: September 2020

Despite ubiquitous surveillance of identity and scrutiny of performances of binary gender, an increasingly large number of people are choosing to stake out public and private spaces that are inbetween, including ‘non-binary’ and ‘gender-queer’. In this article I outline some of the ways in which gender is literally and metonymically monitored at boundary-crossings at national borders and bathroom thresholds, and in the certification of birth and citizenship. I think through why shifting perceptions of gender, and the ways that we categorise gender in different spaces, for different audiences, is an issue for queer ethics in practice. What is a ‘safe space’ for sharing stories of stigma and state-imposed identity categorisation? How can affirmed gender-diverse categories and spaces remain open to accommodate change, fluidity and multiplicity? I draw on auto-ethnographic experiences of self-surveillance and attempts to propagate and celebrate my own multiplicity as a non-binary person. I speculate on the ways that (un)gendered Selfies might constitute creative and imaginative practice that challenges hegemonic injunctions to perform gender in finite and rigid binary ways. Can this sharing of complex and multiple selves have implications for the ethics and politics of categorising gender in educational, health and social service contexts? What might ‘queer ethics in practice’ look like in workshops, at reception desks, at airports?
Application of back-propagation neural networks to defect characterization using eddy current testing
Authors: Zhou Xinwu , Urayama Ryoichi , Uchimoto Tetsuya , Takagi Toshiyuki
Published: September 2020

Eddy current testing is widely used for the automatic detection of defects in conductive materials. However, this method is strongly affected by probe scanning conditions and requires signal analysis to be carried out by experienced inspectors. In this study, back-propagation neural networks were used to predict the depth and length of unknown slits by analyzing eddy current signals in the presence of noise caused by probe lift-off and tilting. The constructed neural networks were shown to predict the depth and length of defects with relative errors of 4.6% and 6.2%, respectively.
Nonlinear dynamic characteristics and optimal control of MSMA actuator subjected to harmonic magnetic field and stochastic excitation
Authors: Ngouala Benhy , Liu Fang , Xu Jia , Zhu Zhi-Wen
Published: September 2020

A novel magnetic shape memory alloy (MSMA) actuator is proposed in this paper, which has fast response speed and large deformation, and its nonlinear dynamic response and control are studied. A new differential term is developed to explain the MSMA’s stress-strain curves. The dynamic model of the MSMA actuator subjected to harmonic magnetic field and random disturbance is established, and its nonlinear dynamic characteristics are obtained. Finally, the stochastic dynamic programming control is introduced to enhance the drive accuracy. The results show that the perturbation plays an important role in the system’s dynamic response; dynamic programming control can improve the actuator’s accuracy in strong stochastic perturbation. These results will be helpful for the optimal design and development of MSMA actuators.

Exergoeconomic analysis of renewable multi-generation system
Authors: Nahan Vontas Alfenny , Bagdanavicius Audrius , McMullan Andrew
Published: September 2020

In this study a new multi-generation system which generates power (electricity), thermal energy (heating and cooling) and ash for agricultural needs has been developed and analysed. The system consists of a Biomass Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (BIGCC) and an absorption chiller system. The system generates about 3.4 MW electricity, 4.9 MW of heat, 88 kW of cooling and 90 kg/h of ash. The multi-generation system has been modelled using Cycle Tempo and EES. Energy, exergy and exergoeconomic analysis of this system had been conducted and exergy costs have been calculated. The exergoeconomic study shows that gasifier, combustor, and Heat Recovery Steam Generator are the main components where the total cost rates are the highest. Exergoeconomic variables such as relative cost difference (r) and exergoeconomic factor (f) have also been calculated. Exergoeconomic factor of evaporator, combustor and condenser are 1.3%, 0.7% and 0.9%, respectively, which is considered very low, indicates that the capital cost rates are much lower than the exergy destruction cost rates. It implies that the improvement of these components could be achieved by increasing the capital investment. The exergy cost of electricity produced in the gas turbine and steam turbine is 0.1050 £/kWh and 0.1627 £/kWh, respectively. The cost of ash is 0.0031 £/kg. In some Asian countries, such as Indonesia, ash could be used as fertilizer for agriculture. Heat exergy cost is 0.0619 £/kWh for gasifier and 0.3972 £/kWh for condenser in the BIGCC system. In the AC system, the exergy cost of the heat in the condenser and absorber is about 0.2956 £/kWh and 0.5636 £/kWh, respectively. The exergy cost of cooling in the AC system is 0.4706 £/kWh. This study shows that exergoeconomic analysis is powerful tool for assessing the costs of products.

Utilization of Citronella Waste as Animal Feed and Organic Fertilizer in Payakabung Village, Ogan Ilir Regency, South Sumatra

Lemongrass is an essential plant that is easy to cultivate. Many farmers in Payakabung village cultivate it. There are 3 units of lemongrass essential refineries with a capacity of 2 tons per day, which produce 6 tons of citronella fragrant waste every day or 180 tons every month. The production of Citronella Waste is a problem in the area around the distillation plant, so a solution to this problem is needed. Utilization as animal feed and organic fertilizer is a solution that can be done, but the knowledge of farmers about the technology of utilizing citronella waste is still low, so it is necessary to carry out farmer assistance activities regarding the use of citronella waste as feed and organic fertilizer. activities carried out include coordination with the village government, training, discussion and evaluation. The results of this activity show the lack of knowledge of farmers about the use of citronella waste, the use of which is only done as mulch in rubber gardens. this activity increases the knowledge of farmers to use other citronella waste. This activity is expected to have an impact on reducing the citronella waste that has accumulated in Payakabung village.

An interdisciplinary view of AIDS in the 1980s: On stage, Journalism and Health
Authors: Lopes Pablo de Oliveira , Neves Paulo Sérgio da Costa , Pereira Lucas de Almeida
Published: September 2020

This article presents acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS, in Portuguese, or AIDS), when it appeared in the 1980s from an interdisciplinary perspective: on the one hand, signs, symptoms, diagnostic methods and treatment are addressed and are part of the biomedical model that participates in the interpretation of this disease; on the other, the representations of the disease in journalistic articles published in the newspaper O Globo, one of the most important in Brazil. Health and Journalism help to build ideas and understand concepts, prejudices and stigmas that relapse dwell and still fall on the disease that became known as the gay plague, one of several denominations attributed to AIDS when it arose. It is discussed whether it is possible to understand the health-disease process from a plural perspective, which goes beyond the limits of medicine. For this, we analyze texts from the newspaper O Globo, which deal with the HIV/AIDS binomial, paying special attention to the language and lexicography used in the elaboration of them, and taking into account the medical view about the disease in the 1980s. The work allows us to conclude that it is possible and necessary to face the health-disease process using not only biological phenomena, but using social, economic, political and environmental aspects, in front of various disciplinary fields.

Scenarios and Pathways of Radionuclide Releases from Near-Surface Waste Disposal Facilities: A Brief Overview of Historical Evidence
Authors: Bugai D. , Avila R.
Published: September 2020

The very low-level waste (VLLW) produced during decommissioning of nuclear facilities can be suitable for disposal in landfill type facilities. Considering the similarities in design, the experience gained in near-surface disposal of radioactive waste in trenches and vaults is relevant to the issue of VLLW disposal in landfills. This paper presents a brief review of internationally reported cases of radionuclide releases from near-surface disposal facilities. Based on this review, the conclusions are made that the following radionuclide release and exposure scenarios should be accounted for in safety assessment of VLLW disposal in landfills: i) leaching from waste to groundwater by atmospheric precipitations; ii) bath-tubing scenario; iii) scenarios caused by extreme meteorological and hydrological events (erosion, flooding, etc.); iv) human intrusion. The gaseous transport deserves attention for a number of relevant radionuclides, such as (C-14, Rn-222, etc.). In addition, the possibility of early degradation of engineered containment structures (soil covers, bottom seals) should be cautiously considered.

Authors: Boyko Vasiliy , Timohin Artem
Published: September 2020

In the Omsk region in the 60s of the last century, the problems of providing animals with feeds led to large-scale work to strengthen the material and technical base of the reclamation complex. Over 20 years (1970 to 1990), the area of irrigated land increased from 4 to 115 thousand ha. According to the data of the Federal State Budgetary Institution Management Omskmeliovodkhoz in the Omsk Region as of December 31, 2017, arable lands are considered irrigated – 78864 hectares, while no more than 8 thousand hectares are actually irrigated. Almost 33 thousand hectares of this area cannot be restored for various reasons, and overhaul is required on an area of more than 34 thousand hectares. The reclamation industry is being restored thanks to the targeted subprogram «Development of Land Reclamation for Agricultural Land». This requires the coordinated work of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Omsk Region, agricultural producers and the Federal State Budgetary Institution «Management» Omskmeliovodkhoz «with scientific support for the industry. This requires the coordinated work of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Omsk Region, agricultural producers and the Federal State Budgetary Institution «Management «Omskmeliovodkhoz» with scientific support for the industry.

Published: September 2020

The chemical composition of seeds of Chrozophora brochiana (Vis.) Schweinf. as well as stability of the oil extracted from the seeds affected by germination have been investigated. C. brochiana seed was found to be a rich source of oil (42.9%) and protein (18.2%). Seed germination increased the moisture, protein, fiber and ash contents and decreased the fat and carbohydrate contents. The fatty acid composition was also influenced by germination where linoleic and oleic acids increased and stearic acid decreased. The concentrations of Na, K, Cu and Ca were higher in germinated seeds. FTIR spectroscopy was utilized to screen changes in the germinated and ungerminated seeds during the successive heating at 70°C for 72 hrs. It was found that the oil extracted from germinated seeds was oxidized faster than ungerminated seeds when subjected to successive heating.

The experimental material consisting of 18 lines and four standard checks were raised in RBD in three replications. Significant differences between the test entries were observed for all the traits. Twenty-two genotypes were grouped into VII clusters on the basis of observed distance among genotypes within a cluster as compared to genotypes in another cluster. Cluster III contains maximum number (seven) of genotypes. Cluster I had highest grain yield per plant, 100-grain weight, harvest index and tryptophan content while cluster VII had lowest anthesis silking interval and highest oil and lysine content and cluster V had maximum starch content. The better performing genotypes from clusters I, II and III were identified for all the traits. Therefore, F1 derived from such diverse crosses is expected to show high yield.
Analysis of genetic diversity in oilseed brassica germplasm through ISSR markers and isozyme profiling
Authors: Paul Madhury , Islam Tahmina , Hoque MI , Sarker RH
Published: September 2020

Eleven Brassica germplasm were characterized through the application of 12 oligonucleotide Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) primers. A total 1248 bands were amplified through polymorphic chain reaction and were visualized by agarose gel electrophoresis. Among the amplified marker bands 71.47% were polymorphic in nature and 352 bands were found to be monomorphic. The polymorphic bands of the amplified DNAs mostly ranged between 110 bp and 3 kb. Genetic distance among the germplasm ranged between 0.0468 and 0.7189. Moreover, three isozyme systems such as esterase, acid phosphatase and peroxidase were analyzed for allozyme variability that detected distinct 93 isozyme loci of which nearly 61.9% were polymorphic. Two dendrograms were constructed based on the ISSR profiling and isozyme data obtained through electrophoresis to find out the relatedness and phylogenetic relationship among the investigating Brassica germplasm. The clusters of the phylogenetic tree revealed 4 distinct groups of Brassica based upon their ISSR banding patterns and isozyme analysis. Nei’s genetic distance analysis provided strong information about the existence of variability among the germplasm of Brassica. All the germplasm was found to be clustered according to their respective species. Brassica carinata (Ethiopian mustard) showed individuality from all the germplasm studied and made a different branch in the phylogenetic tree suggesting its diverse origin. From the clustering pattern and genetic relationship obtained with ISSR markers and isozyme analysis, breeders can successfully identify the diverse germplasm from different cluster and use them in their future breeding program.

Strain and impurity defects in carbon nanotubes (CNTs) particularly their potentiality as a new TL material has been studied over the years. In this research, our main objective is to explore the suitability of using CNTs and its composites in the area of TL dosimeter. For this purpose, a study was carried out between the TL responses of the dosimeters TLD-100, TLD-7000 and NaI-LiF pellets. To carry out this research, equivalent irradiations were performed with these pellets using clinical linear accelerator (LINAC) under 6 MV X-ray photon beam. The dose range was from 0.5 to 5 Gy. During irradiation, the dose rate was kept constant at 300 MU/min. TLD reader was used to readout the samples in a flowing N2 atmosphere to reduce surface oxidation.During readout, pre-heat temperature was set initially at 50 °C, acquired  temperature rate 10 °C/s and maximum annealed temperature was 300 °C. Response of TLD-100 under varying dose was typically linear for any doses but other dosimeters TLD-7000 showed supra-linearity beyond 2 Gy and NaI-LiF pellets showed sub-linearity response after 2 Gy. The TL glow peak of CNTs indicated that it was lying somewhere away from 300 °C.

Penegakan hukum sekarang ini sering menjadi bahan diskusi yang mengarah pada sisi negatif ketimbang positif. Situasi semacam ini sedikit banyak akan tidak menguntungkan dunia pendidikan. Manakala penegakan hukum bergerak ke arah negatif, maka dunia pendidikan juga akan mengarah ke sisi negatif dan begitu sebaliknya. Hal terpenting dalam penegakan hukum sesungguhnya adalah dengan ditegakkannya hukum itu maka tujuan hukum akan terlaksana. Penegakan hukum di Indonesia menghadapi masalah antara lain: 1) hukum atau peraturan itu sendiri; 2) mentalitas petugas; 3) fasilitas pendukung pelaksanaan hukum; dan 4) kesadaran hukum, kepatuhan hukum dan perilaku warga masyarakat. Untuk mengatasi masalah penegakan hukum ini perlu dilakukan upaya peningkatan Sumber Daya Manusia (SDM) penegak hukum yang berkarakter kebangsaan yang dilakukan sejak dini. Pembentukan karakter sejak dini sangat penting yang paling tidak ada 4 koridor yang perlu dilakukan, yaitu: 1) menanam tata nilai; 2) menanam yang "boleh dan tidak boleh"; 3) menanam kebiasaan; serta 4) memberi teladan. Keempat koridor ini dimaksudkan untuk mentransformasikan tata nilai dan membentuk karakter generasi muda.

Technological developments change various sectors of the world's life that are present in order to facilitate human work in carrying out their daily tasks. An example is an android smartphone that comes with various features as needed. The presence of a competition system that utilizes technology will certainly facilitate the assessment of referees to determine the winner. In addition, it makes it easier for the committee to manage scores by remote control using a smartphone in real time. The match system between branches is certainly different, both in terms of scoring and match time. Therefore the authors build an Android-based application that is integrated with the score board that is used to facilitate the referee to determine the match scores in several sports. Because it is known that each sport has different regulations regarding the scoring system and its time. The results of this study are to produce an application score board using the P10 LED matrix that can be controlled via an Android smartphone. The score board application is made capable of being used in several sports such as futsal, basketball, volleyball and badminton..

Vocabulary Retention in Cognitive Theory

Published: September 2020

Vocabulary learning has been a key aspect of acquiring a second language for many years. Many scholars and linguists claimed that learning languages cannot be successful without a wide range of vocabulary. However, most ESL learners are confronted with recalling difficulties as they tend to forget the word fast that they learned recently. These challenges are commonly discussed and researched by Cognitivists since they deem that there are several reasons for forgetting associated with memory and mental process. This case study entails small-scale research on vocabulary retention, reasons for forgetting, and some potential solutions to recall words in the second language. For this case study, we have chosen Cognitivism Theory in a bid to investigate and find out remembering challenges of our ESL learner and give her some possible solutions because according to cognitive psychology it is said that systematic forgetting occurs owing to interfering effects, a continuation of the very process of subsumption, neurolinguistic blocking and other factors. Relying on their findings we tried to help our seventeen-year-old student who tends to forget English words easily. In this case, the hypothesis of the research is that pictorial texts or stories can be more effective for short and long-term vocabulary learning and retention.
Cabinets of Costume: Renegotiating Participation Through Practice, Object-Based Study and ‘Ghosts’ of an Assemblage of Dress
Authors: Penn Chapman Louise Elizabeth
Published: September 2020

The exhibition Cabinets of Costume was undertaken as part of an international conference, Culture, Costume, and Dress at Birmingham City University (BCU) in May 2017. Its aim was to highlight two study collections held at BCU — the first, the Historical Dress Archive, which includes the Kate Elizabeth Bunce objects, and the second, the Art and Design Archives.

Referencing the previous practice of object-based study to inform current practice at the Municipal School of Art, Birmingham, this paper will explore the cultural and creative capital of this assemblage of everyday historic dress uncovered in 2012 at BCU. Focusing on the Historical Dress Archive the initiative was developed to enable undergraduates across the faculty of Art, Design and Media at BCU to study extant historical dress, creating five representations or ‘ghosts’ of the objects of study. The initiative and exhibition offered an opportunity for a student-academic partnership to share the practices of object-based study as a creative catalyst, to inform costume practices as a live project.
Environmental problems of Manipur

Published: September 2020

The issue of environment versus human activity
has become one of the most common global topics. Global warming, greenhouse
effect, air pollution, land and water pollution are all results of human
activity. Human behaviour lies at the root of both conservation and
environmental damage. The rapid growth of population and economic development
are some of the greatest threats to the environment through the expansion and
intensification of agriculture, uncontrolled growth of urbanization and
industrialization, and the destruction of natural habitats. The paper seeks to
study the unique features of Manipur, a pristine land situated in the
North-East corner of India which is noted for its rich biodiversity, abundance
of medicinal plants with various healing properties and yet it is facing the
threat of environmental degradation and pollution. It is mainly rapid
population growth, unplanned urbanization in urban areas, lack of awareness
about environmental issues, poverty and Jhuming cultivation practices in the hills
that have led to environmental damage, with its concomitant effects on human
development, for it is ultimately the people of the state who have to suffer
the effects of environmental damage. The paper gives a broad picture of the
abundant green resources and unique fauna of Manipur and the environmental
problems that threaten its biodiversity.

The research aims to test the ration containing bread waste on digestibility in sheep. Twenty local sheep with a body weight of 34.65 ± 2.87 kg were allocated into 5 treatment rations containing bread waste of 0, 6, 12.18, and 24%. The study was conducted experimentally using a completely randomized design. The data collected was analyzed by variance. The results showed that the use of bread waste up to 24% in the ration did not affect the digestibility of crude protein, crude fat, dry matter and organic matter with an average value of 54.91%, 73.39%, 66.80% and 69.86%. Conclusion, bread waste can be used in rations up to 24% and does not interfere with digestibility in sheep.Keywords: sheep, digestibility, waste, ration, bread
