The collapse of the USSR led to national and religious intolerance, actualizing the problems of tolerance in the modern world and in Russia. It is believed that intolerance towards members of one or another social community (ethnic, racial, religious, etc.) is shown by those representatives who do not have stable values and attitudes. Therefore, the problem of tolerance is relevant for young people. The article presents the first results of sociological studies conducted by the authors in 2015-2018 in the Republic of Bashkortostan. The region selected for research in terms of socio-economic development is stable and has a special ethnic-sectarian structure of the population. In order to study the features of the formation of civic identity of residents of a multi-ethnic region, in 2016 a survey of 1000 respondents was conducted. This allowed us to determine the indices of tolerance of the population of the Republic of Bashkortostan depending on gender, age and type of settlement. To identify problems associated with interethnic relations and the formation of a tolerant (intolerant) attitude of youth, in 2018 the authors conducted a content analysis of the most popular Internet messengers in the Republic. Content analysis has revealed the manipulative techniques that leading Internet instant messengers resort to. It is shown that these techniques have an impact on the formation of youth's negative attitudes towards representatives of various nationalities living in the republic. Numerous studies record an increase in the time that young people spend on the Internet for entertainment. It is important to encourage modern youth to use the educational, scientific, professional resources of the Internet, which, when used correctly, can help to improve the culture of young Russians. Social technologies for working with youth should be adapted to new technologies in the field of Internet communications. This article was prepared with the financial assistance of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) under project No. 17-03-00863 / 18-OGON "Social technologies for working with youth in the field of interethnic and intersectarian Internet communications.

The modern approach to the digital economy is conditioned by the forth industrial revolution and the mastering of cyber-physical technologies of the sixth industrial practice. It stimulates appearing new technological and socio-economic conditions of social reproduction, which result in new specific forms organizing the public economy and social management. In order to understand and analyze these new forms, it is necessary to study the evolution of organization as an object of management in detail. Being a socio-economic system, the history of the organization has covered a long way, accompanied by the extinction of old and appearance of new organizational forms. The article also discusses organizational and legal characteristics of future cyber-physical organizations based on the analysis of their evolution as an object of management. Public-private partnership becomes one of the forms to develop an organizational support to integrative cyber-physical, technological and economic processes in the public economy and social management in industrial countries in the 21st century. This partnership also has a potential to become an important competitive advantage of the Russian economy in the conditions of an intensive transition to a digital economy, as it is an integral factor to develop cyber-physical technological chains and digital economic links. This paper aims at analyzing the evolution of organization as a managerial object. It also seeks to work out a theoretical notion of public-private partnership, which should not only be a common project of the state structures and private business to solve separate investment tasks in the infrastructural sphere, but also become a social-economic development factor of a country and its regions. This factor should ensure the growth of a synergetic effect from integrating cyber-physical technological systems and digital managerial and economic structures. The methodological base of this research include such scientific methods as generalization, analysis and synthesis, systematic approach, and the combination of historical and logical approaches.

Several Infrared (IR) and Visual (VIS) image fusion techniques have been widely used to acquire a novel image which may characterize the image accurately, completely and reliably. This process can serve an essential part in image processing applications. In this article, an enhanced IR and VIS image fusion technique is proposed by Two-Scale Decomposition (TSD) and Sturdy Guided Filtering (SGF) together to further increase the robustness of fusion process. Initially, IR and VIS images are decomposed for creating the base and detail layers. Then, Phase Congruency (PC) and Sum Modified Laplacian(SML) are applied to get saliency maps of base and detail layers, respectively. Also, Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares (IRLS) algorithm with GF, namely SGF is included instead of GF method in an efficient manner to properly smooth the weighting maps by preserving the depth edges that correspond to weak color edges and small structures. In this SGF technique, Enhanced Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (EPCG) method is applied to optimize the RLS iteratively and select the conjugate paths for each iteration efficiently. This SGF can achieve high convergence rate and handle the structure inconsistency while properly preserving the edges. Experimental outcomes exhibit that the proposed TSD-PS-SGF based image fusion technique has higher performance over state-of-the-art techniques in terms of image feature-based, information theory-based and image structure-based metrics.

Multistage-overtopping wave energy device is an example of the overtopping concept in extracting energy from the ocean wave. The multistage opening allows the wave to overtop and stored inside the multistage reservoirs and later used for electricity generation. Previously, using concentrated V-shape-ramp on the conventional multi-reservoir Sea Slot-Cone Generator (SSG) has been proven to improve up to 67 percent in hydraulic power at the 3.5 meters of significant wave height and 9.3 meters of wave period. However, the performance begins to drop when operating at smaller wave height consisting of 2.5-meter significant wave height and 7.9 seconds of wave period. Thus, this follow-up paper presents a numerical study to improve device performance, especially at small wave height. Five breakwater-ramp designs were tested consisting of Basis, Design 1 to Design 5. The overtopping device performance was simulated using FLOW-3D CFD software. Results are presented in the form of mean overtopping discharge or potential energy stored and the total energy potential for each propose breakwater-ramp design. The numerical results show that the highest total energy potential represents as the potential power output is recorded by Design 4 and Design 5 with 63.26 and 63.05 kW respectively, compared to basis SSG device with only 29.14 kW at the wave height of 2.8 meters and a wave period of 9.3 seconds.

In today’s modernization era, there are various technologies being invented to adapt to daily routines. In the growing years, technology has become more complex. Development in the renewable energy is no exception indeed to sustain the demand for energy. This paper discusses a source of renewable energy that focuses solely on solar. This model was presented by developing a tracking system consisting of single and dual axis tracking systems. The purpose of this model is to analyze the performance of the whole system. The tracking system is designed based on the position of the sun in the morning, noon and night. The system will move toward the maximum light energy received as detected by the Light Dependent Resistor sensor (LDR).The results obtained show that the dual axis sun tracking system is more efficient than single axis due to the rotation in four directions while single axis only rotates along two directions which are east and west. The Voltage Boost Converter DC-DC Step up Module is used to maximize the power output. This idea will increase the power of battery charging optimization for Amphibian Research Crawler.

Post Swirl Stator (PSS), also known as the 'Energy Saving Device (ESD) Behind the Propeller' operates within the slip stream of the propeller. The aim of this project is to investigate the powering performance of a JAPAN Bulk Carrier (JBC) upon the installation of PSS. The prediction of resistance and propulsive factors were conducted using CFD simulation using SHIPFLOW CFD code. In order to find the optimised design of the ESD, three parameters were laid out and studied. The parameters are the left side fin length, right side fin length and the orientation of the fins.The aim of this study are to improvise the thrust fin design by changing the parameters to get the optimum powering performance result, and to quantify the powering performance of the JBC upon the installation of PSS in model and full scale. There were 27 different post-swirl stator configurations. All the 27 different configurations were compared in terms of its performance in model and full scale. All the 27 different configurations were simulated using full RANSE. The free surface of the water were modelled using panel method. A grid dependence study was conducted to determine the best grid cell resolution and it was chosen at a total of 7 millions cells. The bare hull resistance of the JBC were validated with available published experiment results. All the thrust fins were modelled using appendage setting in SHIPFLOW. The best thrust fins design were selected in judging its minimum drag, minimum thrust deduction fraction, minimum wake fraction, and the delivered power. It was found that he thrust fins design for case study #20 by CFD is the most optimised configuration in terms of its performance criteria as mentioned earlier. The thrust fins design was able to reduce delivered power to 6.012%. Thrust deduction was also reduced to 2.927%. Total efficiency was increased to 6.709%

This paper presents the development of a wireless remote-controlled system with dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signaling transmitter using android application system for multi-station irrigation and fertilizer dispersion. Fertigation are combination of two words which are fertilizer and irrigation. To be more precise, fertigation is the process of applying fertilizer through an automatic irrigation system. Plants need enough both of nutrients and water supply in order to grow up and produce a high market value crop. Inaccurate amounts of water and fertilizer can lead to unhealthy plants growth and the worst is, the plants will be dead. Although there are the timer-based fertigation systems, the system cannot control the exact amount of fertilizer and water needed by the plants as they operate by supplying same amount of water and fertilizer in a specific time set without considering the weather and soil condition. The android application system allows users to send commands from their smart phones to control various type of appliances such as lighting, watering, timer or even fertilizer. The system is equipped with Arduino Uno and relay drivers circuit for controlling the system appliances. The system is suitable for long range control applications which mean can be control by any device that using dual-tone multi-frequency signaling transmitter from anywhere in the world.

An oscillating water column (OWC) extracts the power of waves by trapping air above a water column. This trapped air is compressed and decompressed by the wave action flow inside a turbine power to the mechanical power during process, and it is important as the turbines are expected to operate in oscillating and reversing flows over a wide range of conditions. The objectives of this study are to determine and analyze the type of radial impulse turbine of OWC and to optimize the performance of a radial impulse turbine for OWC by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). This requires a comprehensive investigation on turbine configuration, turbine efficiency, OWC integration, and turbine operation with respect to climate condition. The outcome of this study to settle the main drawbacks of radial turbine namely lower peak efficiency and damping on OWC can be considered. Later, these problems will be further study to identify the behavior of the airflow through the machine, sources of energy loss, and impact of different parameters on the turbine performance.
