Published: March 2020

The man by nature tries and develops his activity for a better, richer and happier life, which in its essence means fulfilling diversified material, spiritual and cultural needs. Government, social-political communities or public legal entities, contemporary entities and institutions with forms of organization, with mechanism, and their instruments based on laws, must offer an organized life and opportunities for fulfilling general and common needs. Up to date, theoretical and practical knowledge shows that basic needs (security, education, healthcare, protection, jurisprudence, etc.) can be fulfilled more easily, faster, and more successfully, more rationally and continually, with higher quantity and quality with better and fairer organizing of the state and of the public legal entities of the institutions that respond to requests on realization of the new social and economic order of the world. The healthcare sector in Kosovo is financed mainly on income taxes, taxes, and co-payments, whereas out-of-pocket private payments are very high and include about 40% of costs for healthcare services. The budget for healthcare allocated by the government in the year 2015 was in total 163,760,703 million €, whereas the participation of budget for healthcare out of Kosovo’s total budget is 9.73., and 2,79% of GLP, that provided 90.72 € per citizen within one year! PHC is financed through transfers from the central budget to municipalities on specific grant form, on the amount 42,085,036 € that includes 28 % of the budget provided for healthcare. SHC and THC are financed by the Ministry, and it includes over 72% of the budget provided for healthcare. (PHC-primary healthcare, SHC-secondary healthcare, THC- tertiary healthcare).
Robert J. Stoller in the Clinic and the Village
Authors: Herdt Gilbert
Published: March 2020

This paper examines the historical, cultural, and biographical context of the work of the late UCLA psychoanalytic psychiatrist Robert J. Stoller, as narrated through the voice of anthropologist Gilbert Herdt, who worked with Stoller over a number of years as a postdoctoral fellow and then a junior colleague. The epistemological and professional goals of Stoller in opening up the field of psychoanalysis to the study of sexual excitement, human sexual variation, a radical revision of homosexuality dynamically, and especially the acceptance of divergent LGBT orientations is examined in the professional development and work of Stoller in the Department of Psychiatry at UCLA in the 1950s–1980s. The final section of the article examines the fieldwork collaboration of Stoller and Herdt in the context of Herdt's Papua New Guinea field site among the Sambia people, with whom he has been working since 1974. Stoller was instrumental not only in supporting LGBT analytic candidates, but in encouraging a more tolerant face-to-face inclusive attitude in research, education, mentoring, and the general Weltanschauung of psychiatry.

A visual ‘schema’ produced by the Swiss psychoanalyst Ralf Binswanger – the most proficient interpreter and extender of Fritz Morgenthaler's legacy today – explicates succinctly Morgenthaler's three main areas of lasting contribution: theory of clinical technique, sexuality (homo-, hetero-, and ‘perverse’), and dream diagnostics and interpretation.
Developing Homosexuality: Fritz Morgenthaler, Junction Points and Psychoanalytic Theory
Authors: Lahl Aaron , Henze Patrick
Published: March 2020

The Swiss psychoanalyst Fritz Morgenthaler (1919–84) is well known in German-speaking psychoanalysis as an early exponent of Heinz Kohut's self psychology, as an ethnopsychoanalytic researcher and as an original thinker on the topics of dreams, psychoanalytic technique and especially on sexuality (perversions, heterosexuality, homosexuality). In 1980, he presented the first psychoanalytic conception of homosexuality in the German-speaking world that did not view homosexuality in terms of deviance or pathology. His theory of ‘junction points’ ( Weichenstellungen) postulates three decisive moments in the development of homosexuality: a prioritized cathexis of autoeroticism in narcissistic development, a Janus-facedness of homosexual desire as an outcome of the Oedipal complex and the coming out in puberty. According to Morgenthaler, this development can result in non-neurotic or neurotic homosexuality. Less known than the theory of junction points and to some degree even concealed by himself (his earlier texts appeared later on in corrected versions) are Morgenthaler's pre-1980 accounts of homosexuality which deserve to be called homophobic. Starting with a discussion of this early work, the article outlines Morgenthaler's theoretical development with special focus on his theory of junction points and how this theory was taken up in psychoanalytic theory.

Commercial ornamental nurseries are popping up everywhere in the city of Dar es Salaam. However, as the city urbanizes, the commercial ornamental nurseries are confronted by several challenges of which are inadequately explored and documented. This research examines challenges, problems and explains the future prospects of commercial ornamental nurseries in the city of Dar es Salaam. The study adopted the case study design where the method for data collection relied on in-depth interviews and observation. Results revealed that ornamental plant dealers face several challenges such as; unsecured land tenure, which threaten the prosperity of the commercial ornamentalnursery practices. Problems encountered are those related to plant pests, diseases management and inaccessibility of water for irrigation. On the other hand, commercial ornamental dealers get little support from the responsible city authorities in access land and management of pest and diseases. The study recommends that success of commercial ornamental nursery industry needs more support from different actors and policies together with capacity building among the commercial ornamental dealers.

Published: March 2020

In this paper, the influence of additive Allee effect in prey and periodic harvesting in predator to the dynamics of the Leslie-Gower predator-prey model is proposed. We first simplify the model to the non-dimensional system by scaling the variable and transform the model into an autonomous system. If the effect Allee is weak, we have at most two equilibrium points, else if the Allee effect is strong, at most four equilibrium points may exist. Furthermore, the behavior of the system around equilibrium points is investigated. In the end, we give numerical simulations to support theoretical results.

Amos fugados y subordinados sin guía. Esclavos, familia e Iglesia durante las persecuciones de Decio y Valeriano (250-260)
Authors: Spléndido Mariano
Published: March 2020

A mediados del siglo III el cristianismo cobró una relevancia urbana que alteró el orden comunitario. Las persecuciones de Decio (250-251) y Valeriano (257-260) llevaron a un reconocimiento tácito de los jerarcas cristianos y consolidaron una retórica nueva sobre la disciplina comunitaria. La figura del esclavo adopta un lugar especial en los escritos cristianos del periodo. Nuestro objetivo será analizar esos discursos a fin de observar la inserción de los esclavos en la red eclesiástica y cómo eran considerados por los obispos e intelectuales. Para nuestro propósito recurriremos a variadas fuentes, principalmente a Cipriano de Cartago; también tomaremos datos provistos por Novaciano, correspondientes a la comunidad de Roma, Dionisio de Alejandría, Comodiano, ciertas actas martiriales y tratados como las dos Epístolas sobre la Virginidad.Palabras clave: Persecución; Esclavitud; Cristianismo en el siglo III; Cipriano de Cartago; Dionisio de Alejandría

Cuando la Revolución Libertadora llegó a YPF: la comisión investigadora No 22
Authors: Carrizo Gabriel Alejandro
Published: March 2020

En septiembre de 1955, un movimiento encabezado por las Fuerzas Armadas junto con la adhesión de numerosos sectores civiles, dieron fin al gobierno peronista mediante un golpe de estado. Luego del mismo, y del fracaso del proyecto conciliador del General Eduardo Lonardi, el presidente Pedro Eugenio Aramburu habilitó una serie de acciones tendientes a revisar el “régimen depuesto”. En este marco surgieron las denominadas Comisiones Investigadoras con la finalidad de obtener herramientas justificadoras de la persecución y proscripción del peronismo. En este trabajo analizaremos los expedientes que elaboró la denominada “Comisión n° 22”, la cual tuvo a su cargo la investigación sobre lo actuado en YPF durante el gobierno peronista, enfocándonos en los tipos de denuncias que se hallaron en los mismos. La hipótesis que guía este artículo es que no solamente la Revolución Libertadora impugnaba la politización de YPF, que la habría llevado a la decadencia y por ende a la “entrega del petróleo”, sino que lo que resultaba ahora inadmisible era la fidelidad al peronismo que todavía expresaban los agentes de la empresa estatal luego de 1955.

Geographical Mobility in Wiltshire, 1754-1914
Authors: Day Cathy
Published: March 2020

The aim of this paper is to determine the birthplaces, rather than residences, of spouses married in two parishes in England and to consider the effect of local topography, religion and occupation on pre-marital geographic mobility. A wide array of primary documentary sources was used to construct a database of over 22,000 individuals who lived in south-west Wiltshire in the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Individuals were arranged in family groups and pedigrees traced for several generations. Data were included on birthplace, religious affiliation, occupation and many other variables. Geographical mobility calculated from birthplace was higher than estimates derived from residence prior to marriage. Brides had shorter marital distances than grooms. There were noticeable changes in the frequency of marital distance at 4 miles and 11 miles. Spouses born outside the parish of marriage were more likely to come from certain villages in ways which cannot be explained merely by distance and size. The Somerset-Wiltshire border formed a barrier, although a porous one, to the flow of marriage partners. Occupation influenced geographical mobility: grooms from higher-status occupational groups were more likely to be born further away than grooms from lower-status occupational groups. Catholic grooms were more likely to be born in the parish of marriage than Protestant grooms, but were also more likely to be born more than 11 miles away.
DEPENDENCE AND RISK OF DRUG TAKING AMONG WOMEN WHO CONSUME SLIMMING PRODUCTS
Authors: Md Isa @ Yusuff Yusramizza , Zainal Abidin Nor Azizah , Ismail Nur Syakiran Akmal
Published: March 2020

Women in this age can easily obtain and use slimming products, considering their huge availability in the local market. The tendency of women to take slimming products relates to their personal interest or career demands to look pretty and slim. This dogma is further driven by the perception of the Malaysian community regularly combining the interpretation of beauty with attractive looks and slim body shape. However, the slimming products on the market do not wholly comply with legal standards. There emerge slimming products that contain a mixture of dangerous drugs. Taking such slimming products may have negative effects. This article is intended to reveal the results of a study on the dependence effect of slimming products experienced by female consumers who are in the industries that require them to look attractive and slim. In addition, this study explores the risk of taking dangerous drugs or a mixture of dangerous drugs in slimming products among respondents. To achieve the study’s objectives, the researchers interviewed 14 women who work in the aviation, modelling and entertainment industries and used slimming products. The findings show that the consumption of slimming products containing dangerous drugs can result in physical and psychological dependence on the products. Women's risk of taking real dangerous drugs or dangerous drugs mixed in slimming products is subject to age, experience, health awareness and occupational regulations. This article concludes that the use of slimming products has the potential to lead to dependence and risk of taking dangerous drugs. The article also suggests the enhancement of educational efforts and the dissemination of valid information to the public on the impacts and risks of slimming products.

Authors: Hilmiana Hilmiana , Soemaryani Imas , Joeliaty Joeliaty
Published: March 2020

In 2016, the Indonesian economy grew by 5.02%. It was the third-largest growth after China and India among the G20 countries. The creative economy itself contributed 852 trillion rupiahs or 7.38% to that GDP. It is a remarkable achievement of the economy of Indonesia. Achieving higher performance requires collaborations among all parties in quadruple helix, contributing to the establishment of partnership patterns. They should work based on their task, principle, function, and capacity in synergy. Hence, it is necessary to set effective guidelines (manual) or ecosystem development of the creative economy at a regional level. Besides, it is a prerequisite to establishing partnership programs between government and creative communities through the program of 3Cs (Connect - Collaborate - Commerce). The problem examined in this study relates to the development of the creative economy based on local arts and culture in Bandung Regency. The main objective of this study is to construct the strategic partnership model which can impact the creative economy sector in Bandung Regency, based on local arts and culture. This research uses a focus group discussion (FGD) technique involving all essential parties and interviews with stakeholders in regional work units who have the authority to make decisions related to the development of the creative economy. FGD and interview generate accountable information related to mapping potential of the creative economy, SWOT analysis and available partnership programs for the development of the creative economy based on local arts and culture, and description of partnership system between related parties in the quadruple helix. Therefore, it is necessary to establish guidelines or document which can be used in the policymaking. Besides, FGD and interview result in the concept of a government partnership program with creative communities through the program of 3Cs (Connect - Collaborate - Commerce). This research is expected to encourage many regions to connect, collaborate, and commerce so they can create new programs that will be conducted together with their supporting partners. The results of this study show that the role of government in the quadruple helix is 60% in 2016, decreasing to 10% in 2019. The decreasing government role is also accompanied by the increasing role of creative entrepreneurs each year (55 percent in 2019). It shows that the development of the creative economy is becoming more independent every year.
Effect of irrigation scheduling and live mulching of cowpea on root characteristics, consumptive use and water use efficiency of upland rice
Authors: Aparna RA , Jayakrishnakumar V
Published: March 2020

The field experiment was conducted in the farmer's field, Peringammala, Kalliyoor, Thiruvananthapuram during the Virippu 2017 to study the effect of irrigation scheduling and live mulching with cowpea on root and soil moisture characteristics of upland rice. The results revealed that root characters like root volume, root dry weight and root shoot ratio significantly increased under the irrigation treatment I1 [irrigation at 3 cm depth at 10 mm cumulative pan evaporation (CPE)]. The root length was the highest for rain fed control (I7). Among the mulches, live mulching with cowpea (M2) recorded the highest root length and root shoot ratio. The treatments and their interaction had a significant influence on soil moisture. Irrigation at 3 cm depth at 10 mm CPE, live mulching with cowpea and their interaction recorded the highest consumptive use. The highest water use efficiency was recorded by the treatment irrigation at 2 cm depth at 20 mm CPE (I5) and live mulching with cowpea (M2).
Storage and hydro-priming treatments to improve the seed quality of two traditional rice varieties; Batapola-el and Suwendal, from Sri Lanka
Authors: Galappaththi MO , Jayasuriya KMGG , Gama-Arachchige NS
Published: March 2020

Although the demand for traditional rice varieties has increased, low initial germination and poor storability of these varieties impede its popularization. Thus, the aim of the study was to improve the seed quality using priming treatments and to suggest an effective storage practice of two of the traditional rice varieties; Suwendal and Batapola-el, in Sri Lanka. Seeds were subjected to hydro-priming under various time periods (0, 24, 48 and 72 hours). Seeds were stored in gunny, polysac and polythene bags at room temperature, 25 and 8 °C. Seed quality of primed and stored seeds was evaluated using seed germination, seed vigour (seedling growth and conductivity) and seedling emergence. Hydro-priming for 72 hours has increased the seed germination of the two varieties significantly compared to other priming methods. Further, seeds primed for 72 hours had the highest vigour and highest seedling emergence in both varieties. Storing Suwendal and Batapola-el seeds in polythene bags at 8 °C retained the highest viability and highest vigour for more than six months. Thus, hydro-priming for 72 hours could be recommended to enhancethe seed quality of these two tested varieties and storage at 8 °C in sealed polythene bags could be recommended as an effective storage practice to maintain the seed viability till the next sowing season.

This study was conducted to evaluate few elite rice genotypes in wet-direct seeded system vis-à-vis conventional transplanting in clayey vertisol of Telangana during two consecutive seasons (rabi and kharif) of 2015-16. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with two methods of crop establishment in main plots viz. conventional transplanting (CT) and direct seeded rice (DSR) in puddled condition with nine rice varieties of different growth duration in sub-plots and replicated thrice. Growth and yield attributing characters were not differed in both the establishment techniques. Grain yields during the rabi season was higher by about 1.5 % under DSR, whereas, during kharif it was about 1 % higher in transplanted rice. Total duration of cultivars was decreased in DSR to the tune of 14 days during two seasons. There was no significant difference in mean grain yield across rice cultivars in two consecutive growing seasons between direct seeding and conventional transplanting. During rabi season DRR Dhan 44, Rasi, DRRH-2, HRI-174, RNR 15048, RP Bio-226 performed well; whereas Rasi, DRR Dhan 44, DRRH-2 and Varadhan found suitable in kharif.
Evaluation of rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes for cold tolerance at seedling stage
Authors: Sumayya K , Rajanna MP , Deepak CA , Shivakumar KV , Denesh GR
Published: March 2020

Cold tolerance during germination is important for ensuring fast and uniform crop establishment. Rice plants are injured at the seedling stage when they are grown in early spring in temperate or subtropical environments. The productivity of rice is particularly low during spring due to cold, which is an important abiotic constraint, where low temperature prevails below 18 ºC. The present study was taken up to evaluate cold tolerance in 86 rice genotypes based on seed and seedling parameters as per Cruz and Milach (2004). Seeds were germinated under two conditions i.e.,160C for 28 days (cold) and 280C for 7 days (control).The genotypes showed highly significant differences forparameters such as germination (%), germination index (%), percentage of seeds with coleoptile superior to 5 mm (PERCOL), percentage of reduction in coleoptile length (REDCOL) and coleoptile regrowth (COLREG, cm).Both REDCOL and COLREG seem to be the most adequate characteristics to be used to evaluate cold tolerance during the germination period in rice. Among those genotypes, AC 35548, JBT 37/164, PS 353, KMP-175 andThanu were adjudged as promising when screened for cold tolerance under laboratory conditions based on the aforementioned parameters.

Authors: Kavitha K , Nagamani P , Madhu Sudhan P , Viswanath K , Reddy NP Eswara
Published: March 2020

A total of 45 endophytic bacterial isolates were isolated from the healthy rice cultivars viz; MTU 1010, BPT 5204 and NLR 34449 cultivated in Nellore and Chittoor districts of Andhra Pradesh. All the isolated endophytic bacterial isolates were evaluated for their antagonistic effect against bacterial leaf blight (BLB) pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae by agar well diffusion method. The diameter of inhibition zone formation ranged from 0 mm to 16.8 mm. Among 45 isolates, EMP-5 and EBK-3 isolates showed highest antagonistic effect with inhibition zone of 16.8 mm and 16.6 mm, respectively. Isolate EMP 5 was used for the management of BLB under field condition. Among all the treatments, treatment T5 (i.e., seed treatment with EMP-5 @ 109 cells ml-1 + foliar application of EMP-5 @109 cells ml-1) exhibited highest reduction in disease index (4.92 %), increased plant growth promoting ability with plant height of 80.8 cm, increase in the no. of effective tillers (97.4 %), grain yield (5340 kg ha-1) and straw yield (6013 kg ha-1) over the untreated control.

Over 50 million people are affected by groundwater arsenic (As) contamination beyond the prescribed safe limit of 10 µg/L across various regions in the Ganga-Brahmaputra basin of India. Among all, south-eastern Asiatic countries especially India and Bangladesh are most severely affected. Rice is the staple food for millions of people of this region and among many other crops, rice grains are champion in accumulating very high As. Irrigation of As-contaminated groundwater for rice cultivation has resulted in high deposition of As in topsoil and uptake in rice grain posing a serious threat to the sustainable agriculture. In addition, cooking and parboiling with As-contaminated water increases the As burden through dietary intake along with processed food items. Studies have shown that various factors like As solubility, bioavailability, microbial colonization, and uptake in the rice rhizosphere decides the fate of As transportation in rice. In this context, the use of plant growth promoting (PGP) microbial community members having both plant beneficial properties (increased production of phytohormone, enzymes, Siderophore, N2 fixation, P solubilization, disease resistance, mineral solubilization, etc.) and As amelioration or detoxification activities (biosorption, accumulation, volatilization, enhanced adsorption) can be a suitable alternative for sustainable rice farming in As-hotspots.

This paper shows the relevance of the task of assessing the structural reliability of networks with undetermined topology. Proposed is a method for assessing the structural reliability of networks of undetermined topology based on taking into account the basic structural characteristics of the network (the number of nodes and branches, the degree of network connectivity, the maximum allowable rank of paths, and others). To obtain an estimate of the structural reliability for a network of any dimension and any topology, expressions are proposed in the scientific research to determine the number of paths of various ranks, which must be taken into account when calculating the structural reliability index by the upper and lower bounds method.

A Functionally Separate Autoencoder
Authors: Wei Jinxin
Published: March 2020

According to kids’ learning process, an auto-encoder which can be split into two parts is designed. The two parts can work well separately. The top half is an abstract network which is trained by supervised learning and can be used to classify and regress. The bottom half is a concrete network which is accomplished by inverse function and trained by self-supervised learning. It can generate the input of abstract network from concept or label. The network can achieve its intended functionality through testing by mnist dataset and convolution neural network. Round function is added between the abstract network and concrete network in order to get the representative generation of class. The generation ability can be increased by adding jump connection and negative feedback. At last, the characteristics of the network is discussed. The input can be changed to any form by encoder and then change it back by decoder through inverse function. The concrete network can be seen as the memory stored by the parameters. Lethe is that when new knowledge input, the training process makes the parameters change. At last, the application of the network is discussed. The network can be used for logic generation through deep reinforcement learning. The network can also be used for language translation, zip and unzip, encryption and decryption, compile and decompile, modulation and demodulation.
ОСОБЛИВОСТІ КОНСТРУКЦІЇ ЧАСТИНИ СИЛОВОЇ ЕЛЕКТРОНІКИ В СОНЯЧНИХ МЕРЕЖЕВИХ ІНВЕРТОРАХ
Authors: Bordakov M
Published: March 2020

При дослідженні роботи інвертора було визначено параметри, які впливають на ефективність його роботи. Одним з таких парметрів  є внутрішні компоненти інвертора від яких залежить ефективність його  роботи.  Основним силовим компонентом є Power Stack (силовий модуль).  Основним компонентом силового модуля є IGBT (біполярний транзистор з ізольованим затвором).
Даний тип транзисторів поєднує в собі характеристики двох напівпровідникових пристроїв:

Біполярного транзистора (утворює силовий канал).
Польового транзистора (утворює канал управління).

При розрахунку ефективності роботи інвертора потрібно розуміти як працює його силова частина і як силова частина перетворює постійний струм у змінний. Робота силових транзисторів керується драйвером, який пристрій керує частотою відкриття і закриття транзисторів та вихідними характеристиками напруги інвертора.
Для регулювання роботи інвертора драйвер отримує сигнал та відправляє команду на сам силовий модуль. Таким чином відбувається регулювання вихідних параметрів інвертора. Для регулювання вихідної потужності інвертором також застосовується алгоритм зменшення вхідної потужності. Це досягається шляхом переходу робочої точки поля ФЕМ з точки МРРТ до робочої точки, ближчої до режиму холостого ходу сонячної панелі.
Регулювання рівня реактивної потужності також відбувається за рахунок роботи силового модуля.  Для роботи інвертора, його силовий модуль повинен мати якісне охолодження. Охолодження має забезпечити відвід тепла від силового модуля, що в свою чергу попередить руйнування транзистора. В сучасних інверторах використовується активна і пасивна система охолодження. Зазвичай інвертори з пасивним охолодженням мають потужність до 100  кВт. Також у деяких виробніків є тестові моделі інверторів з водяним охолодженням. Потужність даних інверторів очікується більшою ніж 2500 кВт. Бібл. 10, рис. 5.
ОЦЕНКА ТЕПЛОВЫХ ПОТЕРЬ ТРУБЧАТОГО ПРИЁМНИКА ТЕПЛА СОЛНЕЧНЫХ ПАРАБОЛОЦИЛИНДРИЧЕСКИХ МОДУЛЕЙ
Authors: Knysh L.
Published: March 2020

Составлена одномерная математическая модель, разработан численный алгоритм и проведены численные эксперименты по количественной оценке тепловых потерь от трубчатого теплоприёмника системы приёма тепла солнечного параболоцилиндрического модуля. Исследования проводились для теплоприёмника, который помещён в стеклянный конверт по типу «труба в трубе». Рассмотрены случаи со слоем атмосферного воздуха в межтрубном пространстве и с вакуумом различной степени. Отдельно проведен расчет для одиночной трубы без стеклянного конверта. Система нелинейных алгебраических уравнений, которая составляет основу математической модели, решена методом простой итерации. Сходимость итераций обеспечивалась заданием начальных приближений, максимально близких к искомым значениям. В модели предусмотрен учет зависимости теплофизических параметров от температуры и давления. Предложен метод расчета теплового потока через слой газа различной степени разреженности. В качестве физической модели для численных расчетов выбрана модель параболоцилиндрического модуля, который исследовался экспериментально и описан в научной литературе. Численные расчеты проведены для случая отсутствия теплового потока от концентратора и при наличие концентрированного теплового потока. Проведенное сравнение численных и экспериментальных данных показало хорошее совпадение результатов. Незначительное расхождения наблюдалось по значению температуры стекла и по значению тепловых потерь при наличии ветра. Проведенные расчеты показали, что наличие стеклянного пакета является обязательным проектным элементом системы приёма параболоцилиндрических энергетических модулей. Использование такого стеклянного конверта с атмосферным воздухом снижает тепловые потери в два раза, а с глубоким вакуумом – в три раза.  Библ. 13, рис. 3.
