Formation of an institutional environment conducive to the development of renewable energy in Russia
Authors: Bekulova Suzanna Robertinovna
Published: February 2021

Renewable energy is developed only with appropriate state support. In the context of increasing environmental awareness, the need to reduce the carbon burden on the environment, and lower prices for renewable energy technologies, the lag in the level of use of renewable energy sources poses a threat to the development of countries within the framework of global trends. Despite the high availability of traditional energy sources in Russia, renewable energy has received state support. In Russia, there are various mechanisms of state support in the retail and wholesale electricity and capacity markets. The article examines the process of formation of the current mechanism of state support in the wholesale electricity and capacity market. В  The main stages and reasons for the formation of a system of support for renewable energy sources in Russia are highlighted. The effectiveness of the contract for the provision of capacities (PDM) as a mechanism for state support of renewable energy sources in Russia is analyzed. The relationship between the functioning of the mechanism of the renewable energy DPM and the increase in the level of competition in the renewable energy market is demonstrated. It is shown how the development of renewable energy in Russia can contribute to the development of related sectors of the economy. A comprehensive approach to the development of the industry within the framework of the renewable energy technology cluster in Russia is presented. The territories for which the development of renewable energy is especially relevant have been identified.

Hemodynamic features of an intracranial aneurysm rupture predicted by perianeurysmal edema: A case report
Authors: Suzuki Tomoaki , Hasegawa Hitoshi , Ando Kazuhiro , Shibuya Kohei , Takahashi Haruhiko , Saito Shoji , On Jotaro , Oishi Makoto , Fujii Yukihiko
Published: February 2021

Background:

Perianeurysmal edema (PAE) has been suggested as an indicator of potential aneurysm rupture; however, the hemodynamic features of these aneurysms are still unknown. A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis was performed to evaluate the hemodynamic features of a very rare case of a ruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm with PAE.

Case Description:

A 65-year-old woman presented with disturbed consciousness. A subarachnoid hemorrhage due to an azygos anterior cerebral artery (ACA) aneurysm rupture was suspected. An unruptured MCA aneurysm with PAE was identified in the left temporal lobe. Although the ACA aneurysm was clipped to prevent re-bleeding, the MCA aneurysm subsequently ruptured 6 days later. Clipping of the MCA aneurysm was performed, and hemosiderin deposits suggestive of sentinel bleeding were found on the surface of the aneurysm dome. CFD analysis revealed unstable hemodynamic stress at the expanded bleb area after rupture, localized to the rupture site. Moreover, this analysis revealed flow impingement with pressure elevation and low wall shear stress, which indicated increased inflammation and aneurysm wall thinning that likely led to rupture.

Conclusion:

Hemosiderin deposits at the aneurysm wall and PAE indicates leakage from a cerebral aneurysm. Hemodynamic stress at the aneurysm may promote an inflammatory response and lead to wall weakening accompanied by PAE. Based on our findings, we recommend that surgical intervention should be considered as the first line of treatment for such aneurysms to prevent rupture.
Resolution of symptoms in idiopathic thalamic pain syndrome after implantation of a cervical and thoracic percutaneous spinal cord stimulator
Authors: Hagerdon Kylie E. , Villeneueve Lance M. , O’Neal Christen M. , Conner Andrew K.
Published: February 2021

Background:

Thalamic pain syndrome is classically described as chronic pain after an infarct of the thalamus. It leads to a decrease in the quality of life, especially for patients with inadequate treatment. Supportive imaging, such as a thalamic lesion or infarct, is widely accepted as necessary to diagnose this condition.

Case Description:

In this case report, we describe the case of a patient who developed allodynia and hyperesthesia with a hemibody distribution characteristic of thalamic pain syndrome, despite having no clear inciting event or identifiable thalamic lesion. This patient was successfully treated with cervical and thoracic spinal cord stimulation (SCS).

Conclusion:

We suggest that this patient may have presented with a non-lesional thalamic pain syndrome, supported by the classic hemibody allodynia and hyperesthesia and the response to SCS. Further, we demonstrate that SCS was an effective method to control this central pain disorder.
Factors associated with length of stay after single-level posterior thoracolumbar instrumented fusion primarily for degenerative spondylolisthesis
Authors: Lee Katriel E. , Martin Tamriage A. , Peterson Keyan A. , Kittel Carol , Zehri Aqib H. , Wilson Jonathan L.
Published: February 2021

Background:

The postoperative length of stay (LOS) is an important prognostic indicator for patients undergoing instrumented spinal fusion surgery. Increased LOS can be associated with higher infection rates, higher incidence of venous thromboembolisms, and a greater frequency of hospital-acquired delirium. The day of surgery and early postoperative mobilization following single-level posterior thoracolumbar stabilizations may impact the LOS. In this study, we evaluated the effects of weekday (Monday–Thursday) versus weekend (Friday–Sunday) surgery and postoperative rehabilitation services on LOS following primarily transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS).

Methods:

In this single-institution retrospective chart review, we identified 198 adults who received a one-level thoracolumbar instrumented fusion through a posterior only approach (2017–2019). The majority of these patients underwent TLIF for DS. A zero truncated negative binomial model was used for predictors of the primary outcome of LOS (weekday of surgery, duration of operation, first or repeat surgery, and physical therapy/ occupational therapy [PT/OT] evaluation). Covariates were sex, age, and body mass index.

Results:

We found that operative duration, repeat surgery, and in-hospital PT/OT all significantly increased the LOS (P < 0.05). Furthermore, those undergoing weekday surgery (Monday–Thursday) had 1.29 times longer LOS than those on the weekend (Friday–Sunday), but this did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.09).

Conclusion:

In our patient sample, duration, repeat surgery, and in-hospital PT/OT increased the LOS following primarily TLIF for DS. The increased LOS in these cases is likely due to higher overall disease burden and case complexity. In addition, those patients with a greater likelihood of extended recovery and ongoing neurologic deficits are more likely to have PT/OT evaluations. Notably, LOS was not significantly impacted by the day of surgery at our institution.

Published: February 2021

We find that the additivity of quantum information channels enables one to introduce a quantum classifier or a quantum decision maker. Proper measurement and sensing of temperature are of central importance to the realization of nanoscale quantum devices. Minimal classifiers may constitute the basic units for the physical quantum neural networks. We introduce a binary temperature classifier quantum model that operates in a thermal environment. In the present study, first the mathematical model was introduced through a two-level quantum system weakly coupled to the thermal reservoirs and it was demonstrated that the model faithfully classifies the temperature information of the reservoirs in the thermal steady state limit. A physical model by superconducting circuits composed of transmon qubits was also suggested.
Algebraic units, anti-unitary symmetries, and a small catalogue of SICs
Authors: Bengtsson Ingemar
Published: February 2021

In complex vector spaces maximal sets of equiangular lines, known as SICs, are related to real quadratic number fields in a dimension dependent way. If the dimension is of the form n^2+3, the base field has a fundamental unit of negative norm, and there exists a SIC with anti-unitary symmetry. We give eight examples of exact solutions of this kind, for which we have endeavoured to make them as simple as we can---as a belated reply to the referee of an earlier publication, who claimed that our exact solution in dimension 28 was too complicated to be fit to print. An interesting feature of the simplified solutions is that the components of the fiducial vectors largely consist of algebraic units.
Realization of Quantum Oracles using Symmetries of Boolean Functions
Authors: Gao Peng , Li Yiwei , Perkowski Marek , Song Xiaoyu
Published: February 2021

Designing a quantum oracle is an important step in practical realization of Grover algorithm, therefore it is useful to create methodologies to design oracles. Lattice diagrams are regular two-dimensional structures that can be directly mapped onto a quantum circuit. We present a quantum oracle design methodology based on lattices. The oracles are designed with a proposed method using generalized Boolean symmetric functions realized with lattice diagrams. We also present a decomposition-based algorithm that transforms non-symmetric functions into symmetric or partially symmetric functions. Our method, which combines logic minimization, logic decomposition, and mapping, has lower quantum cost with fewer ancilla qubits. Overall, we obtain encouraging synthesis results superior to previously published data.
Efficient reversible quantum design of sig-magnitude to two's complement converters
Authors: Orts F. , Ortega G. , E.M. Garzon E.M.
Published: February 2021

Despite the great interest that the scientific community has in quantum computing, the scarcity and high cost of resources prevent to advance in this field. Specifically, qubits are very expensive to build, causing the few available quantum computers are tremendously limited in their number of qubits and delaying their progress. This work presents new reversible circuits that optimize the necessary resources for the conversion of a sign binary number into two's complement of N digits. The benefits of our work are two: on the one hand, the proposed two's complement converters are fault tolerant circuits and also are more efficient in terms of resources (essentially, quantum cost, number of qubits, and T-count) than the described in the literature. On the other hand, valuable information about available converters and, what is more, quantum adders, is summarized in tables for interested researchers. The converters have been measured using robust metrics and have been compared with the state-of-the-art circuits. The code to build them in a real quantum computer is given.
Secure multi-party quantum conference and XOR computation
Authors: Das Nayana , Paul Goutam
Published: February 2021

Quantum conference is a process of securely exchanging messages between three or more parties, using quantum resources. A Measurement Device Independent Quantum Dialogue (MDI-QD) protocol, which is secure against information leakage, has been proposed (Quantum Information Processing 16.12 (2017): 305) in 2017, is proven to be insecure against intercept-and-resend attack strategy. We first modify this protocol and generalize this MDI-QD to a three-party quantum conference and then to a multi-party quantum conference. We also propose a protocol for quantum multi-party XOR computation. None of these three protocols proposed here use entanglement as a resource and we prove the correctness and security of our proposed protocols.

ZnO-NPs have displayed anticancer activity against a broad range of tumor cells. The present research work was planned to formulate highly pure and well-characterized ZnO-NPs, in addition, to investigate their cytotoxicity against two types of cancer cells. The cancer cells that had been investigated in the present study were breast (MCF7) and prostate (PC3) cancer cells. The aqueous sol-gel method is a powerful and cost-effective technique for the synthesis of high pure ZnO-NPs. While the anticancer activities of ZnO-NPs on both MCF7 and PC3 were determined by MTT assay. Characterizations of ZnO-NPs were fundamentally evaluated by their morphological and structural properties, in addition to their particle size distribution with the aid of SEM and EDX, respectively. ZnO NPs were successfully prepared using sol-gel method in a range of nano-scale. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has shown flower-like nanoparticles of zinc oxide, their nano-size has ranged from 4.497 nm. to 143.7 nm. Results of EDX characterization has exhibited a good purity of ZnO-NPs (zinc content of 50% and Oxygen content of 50 %). There was size-dependent effectiveness of ZnO-NPs as an anticancer agent on both MCF7 and PC3. In addition, there were positive correlation between anticancer activities and low toxicity with the size of ZnO-NPs. At 12.2 μg/ml, ZnO-NPs has exhibited around 51% reduction in the viability of cancerous cells. In conclusion, the results of this study have shown that there was an effective and notable dose-dependent manner in the treatment of MCF7 and PC3 with ZnO-NPs, in the cell line approaches.

El presente artículo de investigación da a conocer la validación de las ecuaciones empíricas de transporte de sedimentos por arrastre y suspensión empleando para ello mediciones de campo en el rìo Chancay – Lambayeque entre los puentes Pucalá y Monsefú – Éten. La problemática analizada de este trabajo es que al haber un aumento progresivo de los sedimentos en los ríos con material de fondo fino, estos tienden a reducir la capacidad hidráulica de la sección transversal provocando fallas en las riberas del mismo. Respecto a los trabajos de campo se realizaron mediciones de sedimentos con muestreadores manuales tipo Helley Smith y luego se llevaron a laboratorio para estudiar la granulometría, peso específico, velocidad de caída de partícula y concentración de sedimentos. La selección de los métodos se basó en la metodología de mejor ajuste destacando en los resultados con muy buena correlación las ecuaciones de Meyer – Peter y Müller, Schocklistch, Levi y Yalin para el transporte por arrastre y las ecuaciones de Chang, Simons & Richardson, Bagnold y Brooks para el transporte en suspensión que pueden ser aplicables para los ríos del norte del Perú.
Evaluation, Science and Pragmatism
Authors: Huntington Nicholas
Published: February 2021

In Aotearoa New Zealand, as elsewhere, the evidence-based policy movement has been one of the most visible recent influences on how policies are described, discussed and debated. It is now commonly taken for granted that good policy work involves using evidence, and that it is important to increase the influence of data and research uptake during policy development. Promoting evidence-based policy has even been used as the raison d’être for the founding of a political party. However, the voices and perspectives of practitioners themselves are often missing from conversations about evidence’s role in policy work. Drawing on my doctoral research, this article presents three stances that frame how policy workers approach evidence in their practice.
Regulatory Stewardship
Authors: Van der Heijden Jeroen
Published: February 2021

Since 2013, New Zealand’s regulatory agencies have had a statutory obligation to carry out regulatory stewardship. They have been expected to adopt a whole-of-system, life cycle view of regulation, and to take a proactive and collaborative approach to the monitoring and care of the regulatory system(s) for which they have responsibilities. In 2021, after eight years, regulatory agencies have not managed to operationalise their shared regulatory stewardship obligations in a coherent and consistent manner. This article explores the challenges they face in operationalising regulatory stewardship, and provides some conceptual clarity that may aid these agencies in collaborating to develop and adopt the whole-of-system, life cycle view of regulation that is envisaged.

Shear velocity structure of the Northland Peninsula, New Zealand, inferred from ambient noise correlations
Authors: Behr Y , Townend John , Bannister S , Savage Martha
Published: February 2021

Ambient noise correlation has been successfully applied in several cases to regions with dense seismic networks whose geometries are well suited to tomographic imaging. The utility of ambient noise correlation-based methods of seismic imaging where either network or noise field characteristics are less ideal has yet to be fully demonstrated. In this study, we focus on the Northland Peninsula of New Zealand using data from five seismographs deployed in a linear pattern parallel to the direction from which most of the ambient noise arrives. Shear wave velocity profiles computed from Rayleigh and Love wave dispersion curves using the Neighborhood Algorithm are in good agreement with the results of a previous active source refraction experiment and a teleseismic receiver function and surface wave analysis. In particular, we compute a path-averaged Moho depth of ̃28 km along a ̃250 km profile. The use of both Rayleigh and Love wave measurements enables us to estimate the degree of radial anisotropy in the crust, yielding values of 2-15%. These results demonstrate that ambient noise correlation methods provide useful geophysical constraints on lithospheric structure even for nonoptimal network geometries and noise field characteristics. © 2010 by the American Geophysical Union.

Authors: Aunurrahman Aunurrahman
Published: February 2021

This study aims to determine the essential dimensions of primary school education problems in Sintang district based on their types and aspects to analyze the readiness to implement the minimum competency assessment and character survey in 2021 with a focus on two main study dimensions, namely the main problems of education and the dimensions of readiness to implement the minimum competency assessment policy and character survey. The data was collected by combining qualitative and quantitative approaches through the implementation of a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and a questionnaire. The FGD was attended by supervisors, school principals and elementary school teachers. Meanwhile, the questionnaire was filled in by elementary school teachers who were spread over some elementary schools in several sub-districts of Sintang district. Qualitative data analysis used taxonomic analysis techniques (taxonomy analysis) and interactive analysis from Miles and Huberman. Meanwhile, the quantitative analysis uses descriptive statistical analysis. The results showed that the taxonomy of educational problems in supporting the readiness to implement the minimum competency assessment and character survey in elementary schools in Sintang district was seen from the teacher dimensions regarding shortages and uneven distribution. In the curriculum dimension, it is considered that changes are too fast so that it becomes a source of confusion for some teachers, and in the learning process that has not made good use of information and communication technology tools. In the leadership and management dimension, the implementation of discipline and transparency is still low. In the dimension of school readiness towards implementing minimum competency assessment policies and character surveys in 2021, especially concerning the principal who not yet optimal initiative to encourage teacher involvement to find out and explore new policies and less proactive teachers in seeking information or increasing knowledge related to minimum competency assessment policies and character surveys through various available sources of information.

The research subjects were students of the eighth semester English study program and the lecturers and staff who served at UPT Bahasa of IKIP PGRI Pontianak. Data collection tools used interviews and TEAP user questionnaires then analyzed with the formula from Khabibah. PHP-based CBT profile in the form of a web that can be accessed online and integrated with multiple-choice item analysis. This study found that TEAP requires a system that can automatically be correcting, storing test results, analysing test results and distributing test certificates. The results showed that the effectiveness level of the respondents' opinion of the test participants with a percentage score of 77% in good category and from the opinion of respondents who implement TEAP is very effective and can analyze the level of difficulty, difference power and distractor analysis properly and quickly. This illustrates that PHP-based CBT is suitable for the TEAP program.

CDMX Resilient Code: Water Commons in Mexico City
Authors: Bello Gómez Lorena
Published: February 2021

Using Mexico City (CDMX) as a paradigmatic example of seriously unbalanced water regimes, our project Resilient Code helps strengthen and communicate CDMX’s government efforts toward risk reduction and water resilience in marginal communities. Our project does so by bridging otherwise separate agents in the government towards a common goal: equitable resilience. Resilient Code provides design solutions that link the social infrastructure of PILARES (a network of 300 vocational schools distributed throughout the city) to CDMX’s environmental and risk reduction initiatives, including their Risk Atlas. This strategic program of design-based solutions began with “water resilience” as a Pilot to repurpose public space throughout underserviced barrios as a network of “water-commons”. Resilient Code helps partners in CDMX implement projects to reduce environmental risks and complement socio-economic programs, fostering growth of the “water-commons”. Resilient Code is socialized through a participatory game-based workshop, and through an online Atlas of Risk Reduction.

Uegzotycznianie dydaktyki akademickiej
Authors: Jendza Jarosław
Published: February 2021

Tekst stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na artykuł Joanny Rutkowiak pt. Rancière’owskie interpretacje emancypacyjne: doświadczanie pracy akademickiej w uczelniach niepublicznych na ziemi warmińsko-mazurskiej. Autor, posługując się metaforami Bourdieu uegzotyczniania i udomawiania, konstatuje, iż podejście Rutkowiak można określić jako uegzotycznianie udmowionego w odniesieniu do praktyk dydaktycznych realizowanych w obrębie szkolnictwa wyższego.

O zmianie hierarchicznego paradygmatu uniwersyteckiej zależności student–wykładowca w świetle działalności portugalistycznego koła przekładoznawczego Amor-Não-Me-Deixes
Authors: Jankowski Jakub
Published: February 2021

Założeniem niniejszego artykułu jest pokazanie, jak tradycyjny hierarchiczny model nauczania może zostać usprawniony poprzez modyfikację relacji nadrzędności „mistrz/uczeń” i zamianę jej na efektywny model równorzędnej współpracy w ramach fakultatywnych spotkań przekładoznawczego koła naukowego celem realizacji praktycznych projektów, których założeniem wyjściowym jest zaistnienie w otwartej przestrzeni kulturowej (pokaz, festiwal filmowy lub publikacja). Równorzędni uczestnicy zadania przekładoznawczego  uczą się nie tylko języka, faktów kulturowych zawartych w danym tekście, ale także praktycznych uwarunkowań przekładu i pracy w grupie, a co za tym idzie uczą się świadomie i odpowiedzialnie. Nie tylko oceniają innych, ale też przez innych są oceniani, a to prowadzi do rozwijania zdolności konstruktywnego myślenia krytycznego w ramach autorefleksji nad przekładem jako elementem edukacji językowej i teoretyczno-praktycznej w  polu Translation Studies. Uczestniczy opisywanej sytuacji są ekspertami językowo-kulturowymi (w rozumieniu Vermeera), a także uczestnikami zintegrowanego modelu nauczania języka (CLIL). Przeniesienie w ramach współpracy eksperckiej ciężaru z tzw. power-over na układ power-with + power-to, prowadzi do osiągnięcia pożądanych w procesie uczenia learner autonomy i student empowerment.

Experimental Study on Mechanical Behavior of T-shape Stiffened Orthotropic Steel-concrete Composite Bridge Decks
Authors: Wang Xiaojian , Su Qingtian , Jiang Xu , Qiang Xuhong
Published: February 2021

A new-type of orthotropic steel-concrete composite bridge deck system was developed, by casting the concrete overlay on the top of the orthotropic steel deck ribbed with T-shape steel member. To study its mechanical behavior, two new-type orthotropic steel-concrete composite bridge decks with different section dimensions were experimentally investigated and two reference decks (reinforced concrete deck and orthotropic steel deck) were also involved in the research for comparison. For the new-type orthotropic steel-concrete composite decks, the average value of the ultimate load per width is 885.7kN, which are 2.35 and 1.61 times respectively for that of the concrete and steel reference decks with almost the same section height. Experimental results proved that the composite deck can effectively control the crack initiation and propagation in the concrete and postpone the yielding of the steel bars and steel plates.
The steel roof of the new Lille Stadium.
Authors: Goyet Vincent , Gens Yves
Published: February 2021

The steel roof of the stadium of Lille, whose total area is approximately 50,000 m², is generated by simple cylindrical and spherical shapes. The stadium is able to welcome fully indoor or partly covered events thanks to a 120 x 80 m² movable roof. Valode & Pistre and Pierre Ferret are the architects of the project, Greisch, the engineering office and Eiffage Metal, the steel construction company.

The roof is supported by two 200 meter long and 16 meter high mega‐trusses. The main characteristics of the project are the technique used to assemble the mega‐trusses members (single pins and prestressed steel members) and the erection method (lifting). Both were chosen with the same goal: saving time. The new stadium was completed in only 2 years.
