Primjena načela razmjernosti u praksi Suda Europske unije
Authors: Vezmar Barlek Inga
Published: July 2018

Načelo razmjernosti u zaštiti subjektivnih prava zadnjih je godina dosta razrađeno u stručnoj literaturi pa se u radu polazi od pretpostavke kako su pojam načela razmjernosti i temeljni koraci za njegovu primjenu (test primjenjivosti, nužnosti i razmjernosti stricto sensu) već dobro poznati. U radu se kroz analizu nekih odluka iz bogate jurisprudencije Suda EU-a u primjeni načela razmjernosti, iznose neka njegova stajališta koja se prema mišljenju autorice čine važnima za domaću upravnosudsku praksu, radi razmatranja mogućnosti primjene načela razmjernosti u hrvatskom upravnom sporu i njegove lakše konkretizacije u praksi.
Novo pravno uređenje
private equity i venture capital fondova i otvorena pitanja
Authors: Čulinović-Herc Edita , Braut Filipović Mihaela , Audić Vuletić Suzana
Published: July 2018

U radu se analizira novo pravno uređenje alternativnih investicijskih fondova
rizičnog kapitala (private equity) i alternativnih investicijskih fondova
poduzetničkog kapitala (venture capital) koji su u hrvatskom pravu uređeni
Zakonom o alternativnim investicijskim fondovima i podzakonskim aktima.
Njihovi udjeli nude se privatnom ponudom u prvom redu profesionalnim,
odnosno kvalifi ciranim ulagateljima. Kapital pribavljen od ulagatelja ti fondovi
ulažu ponajprije u dionice i udjele trgovačkih društava, bilo da se radi o
novoosnovanim društvima, odnosno društvima koja su u razvoju ili onima koji
se nalaze u već zreloj fazi. Stoga je njihov značaj za trgovačka društva velik
jer omogućavaju i malim poduzetnicima pribavljanje sredstava za fi nanciranje
poslovne djelatnosti kada su im klasični izvori fi nanciranja nedostupni. S
obzirom na to da se radi o tržišnom segmentu investicijskih fondova koji se u
domaćoj poslovnoj praksi tek razvija i čiji se potencijal tek počinje prepoznavati,
ovim se radom ispituju transakcijske osobitosti ovog oblika ulaganja između
private equity (dalje u tekstu: PE) i venture capital (dalje u tekstu: VC) fonda i
društva u koje taj fond ulaže (portfeljno društvo). Iako pravno uređenje PE i VC
fondova nije usklađeno na razini Europske unije (dalje u tekstu: EU) već samo
pravno uređenje njihovih upravitelja, obrađuju se oni pravni izvori EU-a kao i
korespondentni propisi u RH, kojima se reguliraju određeni aspekti poslovanja
tih fondova, a koji utječu na pravne odnose između PE ili VC fonda i porfteljnog
društva kada fondovi u portfeljnom društvu stječu kontrolu. U tom kontekstu
otvara se pitanje postoje li određeni mehanizmi kojima se može osigurati da PE
ili VC fond svoj utjecaj u portfeljnom društvu ostvaruje na društveno odgovoran
način s obzirom na to da ima složen zadatak usklađivanja dvaju (moguće)
suprotstavljenih interesa: interesa portfeljnog društva, o čemu je dužan voditi
računa kao njegov dioničar i interesa ulagatelja koji su uložili u taj fond.
Organizirano prikupljanje punomoći za glasovanje na glavnoj skupštini kao modalitet utjecanja na donošenje odluka u društvu
Authors: Zubović Antonija
Published: July 2018

U radu se obrađuje organizirano
prikupljanje punomoći za glasovanje na

glavnoj skupštini, ukazujući na otvorena pitanja u njegovoj primjeni. Budući

da Direktiva o pravima dioničara u uvrštenim društvima ne uređuje izričito

ovaj institut, države članice EU-a zauzele su različita stajališta u pogledu

njegova uređenja. S jedne strane su države članice koje nisu izričito uredile

organizirano prikupljanje punomoći za glasovanje na glavnoj skupštini, dok su

s druge strane države članice koje posebnim odredbama uređuju ovaj institut.

Međutim, i unutar te skupine država članica uočavaju se različiti pristupi u

uređenju pojedinih pitanja. Valja istaknuti da se u državama članicama EU-a u

kojima nije izričito uređeno organizirano prikupljanje punomoći za glasovanje

na glavnoj skupštini, sve više postavlja pitanje potrebe njegova regulatornog

uređenja. Stoga se zaključno daju prijedlozi rješenja za hrvatsko pravo.
Zaštita javnoga interesa u raspolaganju javnim dobrom u općoj uporabi
Authors: Popovski Aleksandra
Published: July 2018

Interes
kojega društvena zajednica ima po pitanju korištenja javnoga dobra

u općoj uporabi pravno je priznat kao javni interes. Radi zaštite javnoga

interesa, osoba javnoga prava nije ovlaštena javno dobro otuđiti, niti ga

opteretiti stvarnopravnim osiguranjem tražbine. Mogućnost raspolaganja

javnim dobrom svedena je na davanje odobrenja za vremenski ograničeno i

opozivo korištenje toga dobra koje nadilazi opću uporabu. Odobrenje se može

dati u formi upravnoga akta, koncesije ili ugovora. Upravni akt i koncesija

omogućuju primjenu raznih pravnih sredstava kojima osoba javnoga prava

može utjecati na sadržaj upravnopravnog odnosa i zaštititi javni interes u

slučaju njegove ugroze. S druge strane, ugovor kao pravni osnov korištenja

javnoga dobra ne omogućuje osobi javnoga prava autoritativno postupanje i

trenutnu zaštitu javnog interesa. Unatoč tomu, u hrvatskom su zakonodavstvu

upravni akt i koncesija podzastupljeni, dok je ugovorima dan znatan prostor.

Predmet rada stoga je analiza režima raspolaganja javnim dobrom u općoj

uporabi radi kritičkog preispitivanja primjerenosti hrvatskih pozitivnih
propisa

s gledišta zaštite javnoga interesa te predlaganja normativnih intervencija u

Authors: Akpınar Ebru , Akpınar Sinan , Balpetek Nilay
Published: July 2018

In this study, the statistical analysis of wind power density and wind speed distribution parameters of the selected cities from seven region of Turkey was investigated using the hourly wind speed data measured by the Turkish State Meteorological Service between 2005 and 2014. The Weibull and Rayleigh distributions were used for modeling and the success of this modeling process was evaluated according to the parameters of R2, RMSE and c2. The Weibull parameters and the Rayleigh parameters were estimated analytically, and the mean wind speed and energy potential were determined based on these parameters. At the Weibull distribution, the lowest mean wind speed and power density was obtained as 1.73 m/s and 5.78 W/m2 in Adıyaman, respectively. The highest mean speed and power density was determined as 2.95 m/s and 33.32 W/m2 in Sinop. At the Rayleigh distribution, the lowest and the highest mean speed and the power density was obtained as 1.72 m/s and 5.63 W/m2 in Adıyaman, 3.06 m /s and 33.44 W/m2 in Sinop, respectively. Generally, the highest mean wind speed and power density values were determined in Sinop, and the lowest mean wind speed and power density values in Adıyaman. According to statistical criteria in wind data analysis of Turkey, the Weibull distribution was better than the Rayleigh distribution.
Каталог Planck – параметры переменности АЯГ на миллиметровых волнах
Authors: Вольвач А.Е. , Ларионов М.Г. , Вольвач Л.Н.
Published: July 2018

С использованием радиотелескопа РТ-22 КрАО на частоте 36.8 ГГц выполнены наблюдения полной выборки 104 ярких активных ядер галактик из каталога Planck. Все 104 источника анализируемого списка имеют потоки на 36.8 ГГц более 1 Ян и являются известными объектами, зафиксированными в каталогах радиоисточников. Полученные наблюдательные данные подтверждают выводы о том, что уровень переменности плотности потока излучения АЯГ максимальный на миллиметровых волнах по сравнению с другими частотами радиодиапазона. Изменение индекса переменности АЯГ, возможно, происходит из-за систематического падения спектральной плотности их излучения при переходе в инфракрасный диапазон длин волн. Изменение индекса переменности АЯГ в миллиметровом диапазоне не противоречит предположению о том, что переменность потока вызвана внутренними причинами в двойных системах из сверхмассивных черных дыр, находящихся на стадии эволюции, близкой к слиянию.

Analysis of the psychometric properties of the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale in the Polish adolescent sample
Authors: Kwiatkowska Maria Magdalena , Rogoza Radosław , Kwiatkowska Katarzyna
Published: July 2018

The current study examines the psychometric properties of the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale: structural validity, reliability and external validity. We conducted a study on a sample of 247 high school students, all aged 16. In order to verify hypotheses, scales measuring feeling of loneliness, shyness and self-esteem were administered. As a result of confirmatory factor analyses, it has been demonstrated that the structure of R-UCLA is three-factorial, the factors presents as follows: (1) intimate others, referring to the feeling of exclusion; (2) social others, referring to the lack of closeness and support in relationships; and (3) belonging and affiliation, referring to the lack of community bonds—all of which are reliable in their measurement as well as the total score of R-UCLA. Moreover, we demonstrated that the feeling of loneliness is positively related with shyness and negatively related with self-esteem. The obtained results support using the R-UCLA among Polish adolescents.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy combined with physical exercise for depression, anxiety, fatigue and pain in adults with chronic diseases: systematic review and meta-analysis

Published: July 2018

Objective. The present meta-analysis aimed to determine the overall effect of cognitive behavior therapy combined with physical exercise (CBTEx) interventions on depression, anxiety, fatigue, and pain in adults with chronic illness; to identify the potential moderators of efficacy; and to compare the efficacy of CBTEx versus each condition alone (CBT and physical exercise). Methods. Relevant randomized clinical trials, published before July 2017, were identified through database searches in Pubmed, PsycArticles, CINAHL, SportDiscus and the Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials.Results. A total of 30 studies were identified. CBTEx interventions yielded small-to-large effect sizes for depression (SMC = -0.34, 95% CI [-0.53; -0.14]), anxiety (SMC = -0.18, 95% CI [-0.34; -0.03]) and fatigue (SMC = -0.96, 95% CI [-1.43; -0.49]). Moderation analyses revealed that longer intervention was associated with greater effect sizes for depression and anxiety outcomes. Low methodological quality was also associated with increased CBTEx efficacy for depression. When compared directly, CBTEx interventions did not show greater efficacy than CBT alone or physical exercise alone for any of the outcomes. Conclusion. The current literature suggests that CBTEx interventions are effective for decreasing depression, anxiety, and fatigue symptoms, but not pain. However, the findings do not support an additive effect of CBT and exercise on any of the four outcomes compared to each condition alone.

Authors: Malla Rosy Vaidya , Hamal Chanda , Neupane Bibhusan , Khatri Ratna
Published: July 2018

Introduction: Obstetric Services commenced at the teaching institute where this study was conducted from Aug 2012. Hence, a review of the data of C-section in this hospital is needed for standardisation of the obstetric services in terms of the rate of C-section, its various clinical indications and maternal and fetal outcomes.Methods: This is a retrospective study carried out over a period of 5 years from Aug 13, 2012 to Aug 11, 2017. All hospital deliveries conducted during the study period were included in this study and the patients’ details obtained from hospital records. All data obtained was recorded in master charts and analysed using SPSS version 23. The caesarean rate, its indications were calculated and categorised into groups according to Robson’s 10-group classification. Results: A total number of 4892 deliveries were conducted over this 5-year study period. C-section was performed in 1104 patients, giving a C-section rate of 22.57%. The most common indications were previous C-section (25.4%), fetal distress (14.3%) and breech presentation (10.3%). Robson’s Group 1 was the highest contributors to the overall CS rate, contributing 28% of all C-sections, followed by Group 5 (26.8%) and Group 3 (15.5%).Conclusions: Nulliparous and multiparous women in term pregnancy in labor and women with previous C-section contribute to more than 70% of overall C-sections at our centre. Hence, close monitoring of these groups of patients, increasing the use of instrumental delivery and practice of vaginal birth after C-section can significantly reduce the C-section rate in our centre.

Femicide in a small Nordic welfare society
Authors: Freysteinsdóttir Freydís Jóna
Published: July 2018

The purpose of this study was to examine femicide cases in Iceland, which is a small Nordic welfare society. Cases of femicide were explored during a 30-year time period from 1986-2015. Femicide was defined as the murder of a woman by a partner, former partner or related to passion. Verdicts and news of the incidents were analysed. Verdicts were found using the search machine Fons Juries, run by a private legal company, which collected all verdicts from the Supreme Court from 1920, and all verdicts from the district courts existing in electric form. News that included murders of women was collected from websites of the main newspapers in Iceland. Eleven women were killed during this time period according to the definition used in this study. Most of the incidents happened in the home of the perpetrator, victim or both. Nearly all of them took place during the night or in the evening during weekends, with more incidents occurring during cold and dark months than brighter and warmer months. All of them took place in the capital city or in that area. Strangulation was the most common murder method, followed by stabbing the woman with a knife. Only one woman was shot, and that perpetrator was the only one who killed himself afterward. The mean age of the perpetrators was 29. Most of them had a low level of education or their education was unknown, and had a low paying job. Two-thirds of them were under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs when the incident happened and the majority had a psychiatric problem, mainly personality disorders or symptoms of such disorders, such as antisocial personality disorder. Even though it is rare, femicide incidents do exist in a small Nordic welfare society such as Iceland, despite an extensive welfare policy and gender equality.
'He said he was going to kill me'

Published: July 2018

This article uses a case study design to explore attempted intimate femicide in metropolitan São Paulo, Brazil. We conducted 30 in-depth interviews with adult women on community and personal relationship experiences, health-care services, and national legislation about violence against women. Through a thorough transcript review, we identified two participants, Maria* and Raquel*, whose intimate partners attempted to kill them. We used a modified grounded theory approach to code the entire sample, and further analysed these transcripts to identify missed opportunities for intervention in both the prevention of- and responses to intimate partner violence (IPV), and the antecedents of attempted intimate femicide.

Both women had normalized experiences of violence, and experienced psychological abuse prior to the attempted intimate femicide. Social and familial networks were sources of shame for Raquel and support for Maria. Neither woman expressed confidence in law enforcement’s ability to protect women and girls from IPV.

These cases illustrate the need for multi-tiered interventions to prevent femicide in Brazil, which boasts one of the highest global female homicide rates. Although anti-femicide laws exist, better mechanisms are needed to integrate health, legal and social services for IPV and femicide prevention. In addition, community- and interpersonal- level interventions that counteract the Brazilian ‘culture of violence’ and machismo may provide support for at-risk women and girls.

Professionals’ support role for survivors of femicide and relatives of victims
Authors: Boira Santiago , Nudelman Anita
Published: July 2018

The ways in which care professionals’ support is provided to survivors of femicide, as well as to victims’ families (children, parents and siblings), may be crucial for their process of rehabilitation and integration into society, thereby increasing their chances to live a relatively satisfying life in the future. The objective of this article is to analyse the characteristics of this professional response, and suggest recommendations to enhance the care provided to femicide survivors and their families, in order to make it more significant and context-sensitive. Thus, a qualitative research, including 12 in-depth interviews, was conducted among femicide survivors and family members of femicide victims from the provinces of Imbabura and Carchi in the Ecuadorian highlands. Notwithstanding the governmental efforts, both through legislative changes and the development of care plans for the victims, the findings indicate an ambivalent professional response, as well as a significant lack of support networks for survivors and families of femicide victims.

The paper deals with influential factors of an organization’s environment in the initial phase of diffusion of innovations (DOI) within the organization. A qualitative research was carried out with two expert groups: one for the diffusion of e-learning as an innovation in a higher education institution and the other for the diffusion of the Building Information Modelling (BIM) in a Construction Industry. The research disclosed 20 common factors. The internal environment group covers management support, the attitude towards innovation, strategic planning and communication, motivation and expertize of employers, available resources and IT maturity level of an organization. The group of business environment factors consists of competitors, clients and partners, supply and demand balance on the specific market for goods and services. In the social environment group, three factors are recognized on the national level and two on the global levels. The holistic model combines the theory of DOI and the concept of absorption capacity.
Social Encounters in the French Trenches
Authors: Mariot Nicolas
Published: July 2018

The First World War has been described as an exceptional moment
of comradeship, so great that it was able to break even the strongest class barriers.
Were social distances and class hierarchies temporarily forgotten or
abolished for the millions of Frenchmen of diverse origins who were called
to arms in defense of their country? The article is about this novel experiment,
provoking encounters and contacts on a huge scale and often for the
first time, between an overwhelming majority of manual workers and petty
employees of humble extraction, and a small number of bourgeois and intellectuals.
It tells the story of the discovery, by the French bourgeoisie of the
Belle Epoque, of the ordinary people who fought in the trenches.

The Principle of Materiality and Its Practical Implementation in the Integrated Reporting of Corporate Enterprises
Authors: Bezverkhiy K. V.
Published: July 2018

The materiality principle of materiality is central to the integrated reporting system of corporate enterprises, because, international practices confirm that to be informative, reports have to contain essential information defined by stakeholders and by company itself for taking effective management decisions. Yet, the materiality principle is not subject of much concern by the Ukrainian corporate sector when preparing, compiling, submitting and publishing integrated report. This raises the importance of studies on this principle implementation in integrated reports of Ukrainian corporate enterprises.
The objective of the study is to analyze implementation of the materiality  principle in integrated reports of Ukrainian corporate enterprises by addressing the problems: (i) to give the characteristics of the materiality principle for financial reporting purposes; (ii) to show objects and materiality thresholds for individual forms of financial reporting; (iii) to describe the procedure of determining the materiality for integrated reporting purposes; (iv) to analyze the materiality aspects of integrated reports made by Ukrainian corporate enterprises; (v) to offer recommendations on implementing the materiality principle in integrated reporting of Ukrainian companies in keeping with international principles of integrated reporting.
Practical use of the materiality principle in integrated reporting of Ukrainian corporate enterprises is illustrated by the sample of three companies: “NAKNAFTOGAS of Ukraine”, “DTEK”, and “BDO” Ltd.
Recommendations for Ukrainian corporate enterprises on practical use of the materiality principle in integrated reporting are (i) to include the materiality principle in the main part of integrated reporting, with its description in the element “main principles of preparation and presentation”, which has been missing by far in integrated reporting of Ukrainian corporate enterprises; (ii) to use this principle for describing integrated reporting elements specified in the International Guidelines of Integrated Reporting: review of organization and external environment, management, business model, risk management, resource allocation strategy, operative results, future perspectives etc.

The research result is the concept of an innovative economic development spiral. It covers market fundamentals implementing innovative solutions as designer – manufacturer – consumer. The innovative nature of the product significantly alters the classic formula of market self-regulation, which requires the introduction of relevant institutional changes. Comparative statistical analysis showed a strong correlation between growth rates of GDP and of the volume of innovative products sold in Ukraine. Ensuring the output of the national economy on a continuous spiral of innovation development requires a systematic approach to the implementation of the following interrelated components: improving the management of fundamental innovative research; the combination of the potential of research and development with industry; stimulation of introduction of innovative products at enterprises; promoting creation of conditions for the promotion of innovative products to the final consumption market. Mastering innovation culture at the state level means the willingness of the government to constant changes in the institutional environment of innovative enterprises. The essence of the issue for further research of the business potential of the national economy goes far beyond a single scientific specialization. Institutional changes relate not only to different levels of individual market players, but also to various types of activities.

Authors: Korepanov O. S.
Published: July 2018

The purpose of the article is to analyze changes in methodological approaches to calculating the indexes of information and communication technologies development (ICT) proposed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The article analyzes the process of development of ICT and the transformation of territories towards the formation of an information society, examines three main stages in evolution of the information society, which are in line with the structure of the ICT Development Index (IDI).

An international methodology for calculating the ICT development index is based on three sub-indexes: access to ICT, use of ICT and practical ICT skills developed by the ITU in 2010. The basic indices of aggregate sub-indexes, their nominal values and the methodology for calculating the ICT Development Index are presented in the annual reports of the ITU “Measuring the Information Society” 2009–2017. The article also analyzes the significance of the ICT development indexes and the corresponding sub-indexes for the countries of the world, which ranked among the top ten leaders by the corresponding rating.

A comparative analysis of the IDI values of Ukraine and Iceland, one of the leading countries by IDI-2016 level, is made; the corresponding diagram is constructed on the basis of the statistical indicators used for the calculation and the corresponding sub-indexes. The dynamics of changes of IDI basic statistical characteristics by region of the world in 2012-2017 is analyzed.

The changes to the IDI calculation methodology of 2018, proposed by the specialized international expert groups, are analyzed. The proposed changes relate to a set of metrics that should be additionally included in the IDI instead of a few excluded. The analysis of changes in methodological approaches to the calculation of IDI shows significant differences in the ICT development by geographical region of the world. There are also significant fluctuations in the experience of individual countries within each region.
Chi-square, Student and Fisher-Snedecor Statistical Distributions and Their Application
Authors: Motsnyi F. V.
Published: July 2018

The Chi-square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates. The degree of freedom of the distribution is equal to the number of standard normal deviates being summed. For the first time this distribution was studied by astronomer F. Helmert in connection with Gaussian low of errors in 1876. Later K. Pearson named this function by Chi-square. Therefore Chi –square distribution bears a name of Pearson’s distribution.

The Student's t-distribution is any member of a family of continuous probability distributions that arises when estimating the mean of a normally distributed population in situations where the sample size is small and population standard deviation is unknown. It was developed by W. Gosset in 1908.

The Fisher–Snedecor distribution or F-distribution is the ratio of two-chi-squared variates. The F-distribution provides a basis for comparing the ratios of subsetsof these variances associated with different factors. The Fisher-distribution in the analysis of variance is connected with the name of R.Fisher (1924), although Fisher himself used quantity for the dispersion proportion.

The Chi-square, Student and Fisher – Snedecor statistical distributions are connected enough tight with normal one. Therefore these distributions are used very extensively in mathematical statistics for interpretation of empirical data. The paper continues ideas of the author’s works [15, 16] devoted to advanced based tools of mathematical statistics. The aim of the work is to generalize the well known theoretical and experimental results of statistical distributions of random values. The Chi-square, Student and Fisher – Snedecor distributions are analyzed from the only point of view. The application peculiarities are determined at the examination of the agree criteria of the empirical sample one with theoretical predictions of general population. The numerical characteristics of these distributions are considered. The theoretical and experimental results are generalized. It is emphasized for the corrected amplification of the Chi-square, Student and Fisher – Snedecor distributions it is necessary to have the reliable empirical and testing data with the normal distribution.

Published: July 2018

In this article, we present a hybrid optoelectronic system for pattern recognition based on a structured two-layer holographic neural network. An auxiliary subsection with local connections is added to the first layer to improve the convergence of the iterative process. We propose a new class of high-performance optical processors: linear intensity, holographic correlators that utilize global connections in both layers of the neural network.
A Neural Network for Real-Time Particle Discrimination in High-Energy Physics
Authors: Perrone Antonio L. , Pasqualucci Enrico , Messi Roberto , Basti Gianfranco , Paoluzi Luciano
Published: July 2018

In this paper we start from the analysis of the three most common paradigms in neural networks: the relaxation neural networks, studied according to the method of equilibrium statistical mechanics, the oscillatory neural networks, and the chaotic neural networks. Hence, we propose a fourth neural architecture capable of displaying all the three precedent behaviors. The core of our architecture is a principle of mutual redefinition between the activation dynamics and the weight dynamics of the net for each pattern to be recognized, so as to overcome some computability problems typical of pattern recognition. The main characteristic of such an architecture are: (1) its capability to automatically redefine the optimal correlation neighborhood of each neuron of the network in view of the correct recognition of a given input; (2) the constructive use of noise, which, added automatically to the net dynamics and to the input itself, allows the correct recognition of highly noisy patterns. To illustrate this point, we develop a systematic comparison between the performances of this new architecture and of a backpropagation architecture in solving the classical “T-C” recognition problem. Then, we show a successful application of our new architecture to real time particle discrimination in a high energy physics experiment (“FENICE” experiment) carried out at the ADONE e+e− storage ring in Frascati (Italy).
Perspectives on the Application of Optical Matrix Processors
Authors: Gary Charles K.
Published: July 2018

Researchers have proposed a great number of optical matrix processing architectures and devices, each having significant advantages and disadvantages. However, no general metrics have been established to compare processors, and there has been little work to implement optical matrix processors for specific applications. In this article, we examine the range of proposed optical matrix processors both to determine the most promising classes of applications and, by establishing performance criteria, to select the best architectures and algorithms for these applications. This examination concludes that the greatest current potential is for analog optical matrix-vector processors to analyze slowly varying or invariant systems with high data throughput rates.

Published: July 2018

This paper deals with parallel architectures for video-coding and multimedia applications. These applications play an important role in consumer electronics, and their pervasive use strictly depends on the cost/performance ratio that can be achieved with electronic systems. Nowadays the use of VLSI technology along with parallel computation techniques allow one to implement video-coding and multimedia dedicated systems with the necessary computing power and the low cost needed for the spread of these applications. The paper first introduces the problem of video-coding and multimedia applications, presenting also the main standards and the problems related to their support. Then different architectural solutions are presented with emphasis with the kind of parallelism they can exploit in the applications. Finally an architecture specifically developed for video-coding is presented. The architecture has been completely developed and fully tested, and it is now used as a testing prototype for checking the development of new application algorithms. The architecture has also been a means for verifying and solving all the practical problems that can be encountered when developing a real application based on a parallel architecture. In this sense the paper focuses also on implementation problems that arise in the development of a real architecture.

Authors: Pena T. F. , Bruguera J. D. , Zapata E. L.
Published: July 2018

This paper describes a three-dimensional simulator for semiconductor devices in stationary state developed on a message passing multiprocessor. A Gummel style nonlinear iteration was used, and the Poisson and the continuity equations were discretized using the finite element method. A new iterative scheme was introduced in order to solve the nonlinear Poisson equation. The nonsymmetric continuity equations were solved using a Conjugate Gradient type method, the Bi-CGSTAB. We carried out the parallelization of these approaches and their mapping onto a multiprocessor system. We introduce a new method for the distribution of the finite element sparse matrices over the multiprocessor. This method leads to highly efficient algorithms, because it obtains a good load balance and limits all the communications to length 1.
Assembling Frameworks for Strategic Innovation Enactment: Enhancing Transformational Agility through Situational Scanning
Authors: Bigley Joel
Published: July 2018

Although a significant body of knowledge has been created around strategic management that drives change and innovation, there are voids in the literature regarding assembling a flexible and localized environmental scanning (ES) framework needed to assess threats, opportunities, the current environment, and the desired end-state of a global value chain (GVC) with direct linkages to strategic enactment. In this paper, the author describes this gap and develops a capability to create a task plan from a situational ES. The need for ES customization is further validated as a result of the change during a transformation or adaptation, hence the need for a localized feedback mechanism.

Published: July 2018

The presence of pests is one of the main problems in crop production, and obtaining reliable statistics of pest infestation is essential for pest management. Detection of pests should be automated because human monitoring of pests is time-consuming and error-prone. Aphids are among the most destructive pests in greenhouses and they reproduce quickly. Automatic detection of aphid nymphs on leaves (especially on the lower surface) using image analysis is a challenging problem due to color similarity and complicated background. In this study, we propose a method for segmentation and counting of aphid nymphs on leaves using convolutional neural networks. Digital images of pakchoi leaves at different aphid infestation stages were obtained, and corresponding pixel-level binary mask annotated. In the test, segmentation results by the proposed method achieved high overlap with annotation by human experts (Dice coefficient of 0.8207). Automatic counting based on segmentation showed high precision (0.9563) and recall (0.9650). The correlation between aphid nymph count by the proposed method and manual counting was high (R2 = 0.99). The proposed method is generic and can be applied for other species of pests.

Published: July 2018

The study aims to examine the effects of coenzyme Q10, (a bioenergetic antioxidant), on the indexes of left ventricular remodeling, oxidative damage, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) level after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with left ventricular dysfunction. In a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group study (a retrospective analysis of an earlier trial) in 55 patients with left ventricular ejection fraction <50% after AMI, the effects of coenzyme Q10 (120 mg/day) or placebo were studied for 24 weeks. Two-dimensional echocardiography was performed at discharge, (approximately 5–10 days after admission) and at 6 months after AMI. The results revealed that wall thickness opposite the site of infarction decreased from (mean ± standard deviation (SD)) 12.2 ± 2.0 mm to 10.0 ± 1.8 mm with coenzyme Q10 compared with 12.8 ± 2.2 mm to 13.3 ± 2.3 mm with placebo (p < 0.01). Left ventricular mass changed from 236 ± 72 g to 213 ± 61 g with coenzyme Q10 compared with 230 ± 77 g to 255 ± 86 g with placebo (p < 0.01). Treatment with coenzyme Q10 also prevented alteration of sphericity index which is a ratio of the long and short axis of the left ventricle (which changed from 1.61 ± 0.28 to 1.63 ± 0.30 with coenzyme Q10 compared with 1.61 ± 0.32 to 1.41 ± 0.31 with placebo (p < 0.05)). Coenzyme Q10 also prevented alteration of the wall thickening abnormality at the infarct site, which changed from 9.4 ± 3.0 cm2 to 9.1 ± 2.8 cm2 compared with 10.1 ± 3.1 to 13.7 ± 4.2 cm2 with placebo (p < 0.05). End diastolic and systolic volumes also showed significant reduction with coenzyme Q10 compared to placebo. The serum level of ACE showed significant decline in the coenzyme Q10 group compared to the control group. Treatment with coenzyme Q10 early after AMI causes attenuation of left ventricular remodeling and decreases the serum ACE level in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.
