Неудивительно, что и Япония обратила свой взор в сторону Северного Полюса, в результате чего была выработана национальная политика, которая соответствует интересам страны в данном регионе. Развивая сотрудничество с государствами Ар- ктического совета, Япония с 2013 года считается одним из основных актёров в арктическом регионе. В статье рассматривается политика Японии в отношении Северного полюса, приводятся международные документы относительно пользования природными богатствами данного региона, в особенности энергоресурсами. Ключевые слова: Япония, Северный полюс, Арктический совет, национальная политика, энергоресурсы, ледники. Abstract. There is no doubt that in recent years the importance of the North and South Poles has increased in the international arena. It is not surprising that Japan turned its eyes towards the North Pole, as a result of which a national policy was devel- oped which corresponds to the interests of the country in the region. Developing coop- eration with the states of the Arctic Council, Japan since 2013 is considered one of the main actors in the Arctic region. The article discusses the policy of Japan in relation to the North Pole, provides international documents on the use of the natural resources of the region, especially energy.

Tendencias y patrones de la migración de retorno en México
Authors:   Universidad de Guadalajara, Canales Alejandro I. , Meza Sofía ,   Universidad de Guadalajara
Published: October 2019

En este documento ofrecemos un análisis de los perfiles, volúmenes y patrones de la migración de retorno en México, comparándolos en tres momentos diferentes: a) antes de la crisis económica y durante el gran auge de la emigración a los Estados Unidos; b) durante la crisis económica y momentos de mayor endurecimiento de la política antiinmigrante, y que implicó un virtual desplome temporal de la migración mexicana; c) la etapa posterior a la crisis económica, y en un contexto de moderado reimpulso de la emigración de mexicanos a los Estados Unidos. Nos interesa discutir si el crecimiento del retorno a fines de la década pasada fue sólo un fenómeno coyuntural producto de las peculiares circunstancias que lo provocaron, o por el contrario, implicó cambios en los perfiles y patrones del retorno, que aunque se redujeron en volumen, persisten actualmente conformando un fenómeno emergente cuyas implicancias y consecuencias aún no están claramente definidas.

Building an intellectual property management system in a scientific institution. Experience of SIS “Scientific and practical center for preventive and clinical medicine” SAD
Authors: Dmytryshyn V.S.
Published: October 2019

The article examines the role and place of building an effective intellectual property management system in scientific institutions for obtaining and implementing the results of scientific activity through the creation of intellectual property objects (IPO). The purpose of the article is to provide methodological assistance to authors and scholars working in governmental scientific institutions, as well as to the management of these institutions in the construction of intellectual property management systems in such institutions. Analyzing the legal framework, the author concludes that the legislation directly provides (ie permits) and stimulates (ie creates conditions) for public scientific institutions to provide services and commercialize the results of scientific activities of such institutions. Given this, the author believes that the task of commercialization of intellectual property objects should be solved in two interrelated directions – the creation in the scientific institution of modern facilities and procedures for managing objects and processes of IP (internal policy in the field of IP), and active external activities aimed at meeting the needs of the subjects of the scientific services market (foreign policy in the field of IP). The implementation of domestic policy objectives implies the creation of the most favorable conditions for stimulating and encouraging scientific and practical staff to create new technologies, regulatory support for the processes of managing the IPO through the development, adoption and implementation of relevant regulations, orders, governing documents; establishing a mechanism for constant cooperation between scientific and technical units; provision of the legal form to the IPO; development and implementation of effective accounting policies for IPO. Implementation of foreign policy directions in the field of IP involves the implementation of an active, offensive, creative marketing policy aimed at finding potential consumers IPO, created by the institution, the search for potential customers, under the needs of which can be created IPO; legal support for the processes of acquisition, disposal, licensing, protection, protection of IP; conducting marketing research on the needs for solutions and the feasibility of implementing ready-made solutions embodied in the IPO; continuous monitoring of the market in order to establish the facts of violations of the rights of IPO owned by the institutions and timely legal response to such facts. In the end, the author presents practical recommendations for building an intellectual property management system in scientific institutions.

Software Engineering (SE) is the application of essentials to deal with the analysis, design, development, testing, deployment and management - Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) - of software systems. Requirements Engineering (RE) is responsible for the most critical task in the SDLC; which is transforming the requirements and wishes of the software users into complete, accurate and formal specifications. One of the main responsibilities of RE is the creation of a software requirements document that exactly, reliably, and totally defines the functional and non-functional properties of the system to be developed. At some point through the RE process, the requirements are written using a Natural Language (NL). On one hand, NLs are flexible, common, and popular. On the other hand, NLs are recognized widely as inherently ambiguous. Ambiguity is noticed in a requirement document when a piece of text is interpreted in distinct ways. This may lead to erroneous software that is too expensive to correct in later phases of the SDLC. Many tools have been developed in the literature to detect ambiguities in requirements documents. Best practices for writing requirements have also been proposed to help avoid ambiguities in the first place. The goal of this paper is to combine features from both approaches by developing the Ambiguity Checker Tutor (ACTutor), which not only detects ambiguities, but also aids in tutoring requirements engineers to apply best practices while writing requirements (rather than merely listing them). The paper is mainly concerned with proving the tutoring effectiveness of ACTutor through empirical evaluation.

Published: October 2019

In a humid subtropical atmosphere, urbanisation leads to increased thermal stress. The outside thermal stress depends on the flexibility of the geometrical arrangement of the buildings and its morphology and also materials to absorb solar radiation (albedo). The purpose of this study is to look at the influence of the morphology and water bodies on the microclimate of Bhopal, a town in central India. In this study the impact of urban morphology on microclimate is assessed through filed measurements. The field measurements included ambient air temperatures, humidity and wind speed. These metrological parameters were measured at nine sites in which three are in the old city, four in a new city and two sites falls in the suburbs. All three types of sites differed in terms of the building height by street width (H/W) ratio, ground cover, and distance to the lakes. In urban areas air high-temperature differences were mostly found during daytime. A highest intra-urban dissimilarity of 6ºC has been traced on clear days. Within the urban areas, the humidity was found normal (up to25-30%), and showed little diurnal variation. Few other factors that affected the temperature were also observed and are discussed in this paper.

Presently there are lot of materials that can be used in the fabrication of any item, so choosing a material is a major criteria. So the materials are chosen depending on the properties desired by the resulting item. The composite materials have better properties when compared with its individual components, metals and ceramics. The overall appeal of the product depends mainly on its durability, aesthetics and its final cost. Composite materials are cost effective and significantly satisfy the needs of the clients. By utilizing composite materials we can obtain high strength to weight ratio at a relatively economical cost. Moreover, they can be produced easily by basic part forming. Hybrid polymer composites have been studied of late which improves a specific property of the composite that is under question. Here a hybrid composite made of laminate of Nomex and HS glass sheets with varying percentage (1% - 2.5 %) of bisphenol dispersed in resin is prepared. The same samples were subjected to cryogenic treatment (24 hrs and 72 hrs). The results of tensile strength, flexural strength and hardness were compared for all the specimens 24 hrs cryogenic, 72hrs cryogenic and non-treated specimens. The results showed that the hardness of the cryogenic treated bisphenol based PMCs has increased with the weight percentage of Bisphenol indicating the fact that the laminates can withstand more loads at subzero temperatures The increase observed was about 3 – 4 % more in terms of BHN number. At the same time the tensile and flexural strengths have considerably reduced after treating the PMC cryogenically as the laminates becomes more brittle when treated. The tensile strength increased by about 10% approximately and the flexural strength reduced by 300%.

UAE healthcare sector has been discussed by many researchers and organizations in the past, but very limited literature is available explaining the factors which can provide control in the hands of healthcare sector leadership to achieve sustainable competitive advantage. The unique cultural environment in UAE healthcare sector requires the control structure based on certain indigenous conditions prevailing in local environment. Three key cultural factors are borrowed from the past literature and model was built to examine the mediating role of the culture of creativity and innovation between the culture of collective leadership and the culture of learning organization. In addition to this, how the leadership commitment moderates the relationship between the culture of collective leadership and the culture of creativity and innovation. The conditional process model, explaining the moderated mediation among these cultural variables, provides knowledge about key relationships among these cultural factors and give better control in the hands of the leadership of the healthcare organizations to achieve sustainable growth and quality of services in the highly competitive environment. The key cultural variables and their interrelationship were borrowed from the author’s previous researches and remodeled them to examine the hypothesized framework on the data collected from the sample of 320 employees working in the five healthcare organizations in Dubai. The “Healthcare Sector Learning Organization Scale” was developed and analyzed by the explorative factor analysis to factor out four variables. The output of the conditional process modeling proposed by Andrew F. Hayes has verified the presence of the culture of creativity and innovation as the mediator in the relationship between the culture of collective leadership and the culture of learning organization. Moreover, the moderating role of the leadership commitment on the relationship between the culture of collective leadership and the culture of creativity and innovation was also significantly verified. Research findings show that organizations in the healthcare sector need regular emphasis on research and development practices to help employees in building and managing new knowledge in order to achieve competitive advantage. In this case, the leadership has a key role to play enabling the organization to transform into the culture of learning organizations by implementing knowledge management processes and support for the experimentation in the day-to-day operations of the organization.

Nowadays, crime incidents like stealing, fighting and harassment often occur in campus leading to serious consequences. Students do not feel secure to study in campus anymore. Thus, a simple facial emotion detection system using a Raspberry Pi is introduced to help mitigating the issue before getting worse in campus. Two algorithms are used for this project including Haar Cascade and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) algorithms. OpenCV is a library that can be used for image processing. LBP algorithm is used for face detection in OpenCV. When a person enters the specified area, the camera will capture the image and detect the image of the person. Then, a rectangular box appears on the face image of the person. The image is automatically sent to the email. The face detection is enhanced by adding a face alignment. The face alignment is used to detect the location of many points on the face. It recognizes the emotions for each face and gives the confidence score. The value 0 of confidence score is the perfect face recognition. Although the system is simple, it is still reliable to be used in a campus environment.

Capacitors are widely used in distribution networks for energy loss reduction, reactive power compensation, voltage regulation, and for system capacity release. However, it’s important that the system is designed initially, and capacitors are applied in correct magnitude and at right node to achieve best results. The most important task for distribution engineer is to efficiently simulate the system at design stage and later apply optimum capacitance injection. The work presented in this paper proposes a cost minimization algorithm using a unique mathematical model along with Monty carlo simulation to choose optimal value of capacitors, both fixed and switching based on total minimum cost algorithm.

A perennial inflated malady under the radar which has become an imperative thrust of colloquies in various parts of the world is “Obesity”. It is a health gremlin which curtails a person’s quotidian lifestyle and stems from the physical apathetic torpor, phrenic nerves, deleterious food habits and the frailty of genetic constitution. Bariatrics is that discipline of science which deals with the surgical procedures and consultations for obese individuals. Prolific research and anatomizations have been carried out on the sundry tenacious health impediments germinating due to obesity. The assaying of body fat percentage of every individual in a punctilious method is a desideratum. The previous work entailing body fat percentage comprehensively included an individual’s Body Mass Index (BMI) with respect to their age and gender. The factual composition of a person’s fat constitution and the muscle tissue configuration is not computationally explicated using BMI. Thus, the strictures imposed by the formula vitiates the veracity for an individual having more muscle mass than fat mass. The proposed indagation gives a pellucid, novel formula which is procured through the integrant crude parameters of an individual. This aids in overcoming the fallibilities of the previous formula for body fat. The classification accuracy is augmented by implementing fuzzy rules synthesized into genetic algorithm.

Nowadays, people live in a world that is quite fast paced and competitive. All are running behind the money and success under the stress and fear of falling behind the race ignoring our health. Lack of physical activity due to shortage of time and acquiring the habit of intoxication for the purpose of releasing this stress make the matter worse for our heart. These are the two primary reasons for heart diseases in case of urban people. On the other hand, as the percentage of people staying in rural areas is more than urban areas, the people of rural India also suffer from heart diseases. Acquisition of urban lifestyle by rural people and inaccessibility to costly healthcare services are the two most important reasons for increasing rate of heart diseases in rural India. Even young adults are falling prey to heart diseases in an alarming rate. In short, the problem of heart-related diseases is being evolved as a matter of great concern in context to the Indian Territory. According to the WHO, coronary artery disease will take the form of epidemic in India by the year 2022. So, we need fast, efficient and low-cost devices for beforehand identification of symptoms related to the heart diseases. The most common device to identify and diagnose heart related diseases is the conventional 12-lead ECG device. But, there are various factors that pose complexities in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases by the 12-lead ECG devices. It is a costly device and it needs a trained person for handling complex and burdensome diagnosis method. In the context of unavailability of enough trained medical people this can be a great hindrance in preventing the epidemic of coronary artery diseases. So, in this research work, a single lead ECG device has been proposed which is of low-cost and diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases is carried out with the aid of a cloud computing environment.

Brick is the former construction material, a standard-sized non load bearing building component. The ancient bricks manufactured by clay, earth or mud. By 2007 the new ‘fly-ash’ brick made up of cement and flyash which is reliable, weather & acid resistant. The cement is a hugely used building material and liberates CO2 leading to pollution. To minimize pollution and a step to advancement in sustainable development. The current research results to geo polymer brick, where the cement is replaced with GGBS, silica fume and Kadapa slab dust. For bonding, polymers were used with limited water content. Hence produced brick is a hybrid geo polymer brick with multi material combination. Fly ash 75%- GGBS 25% as a base material. GGBS is partially replaced with silica fume and Kadapa slab dust by 2 to 5%. Evaluated through compressive strength results in which we found three optimum proportions such as FA 75%-GGBS22%-SF3% & 75% FA-22% GGBS -3% KSP.

The study aimed to identify the broad factors that were significant in influencing the use of online payment system among the female population. Data had been gathered from 300 respondents from urban areas of Punjab on 12 statements through 5-point rating scale. Factor analysis compressed variables in to four broad factors i.e. convenience, lack of safety, modernity and economic benefits. Discriminant analysis revealed that for factors “convenience” and “economic benefits”, a significant difference existed between the means of two groups i.e. users and non-users. The work will serve as a guide to the state in finding ways to promote the use of online payment system among women. JEL Code: M3
Generation of Keystream for Symmetric Cipher using U-Matrix

Symmetric-key cryptography is a classical cryptography in which both sender and receiver use the same key K to encrypt and decrypt the message. The main challenge between sender and receiver is to agree upon the secret-key which should not be revealed to public. Key management is the major issue in symmetric-key cryptosystem. To avoid these, a novel approach in generating the keystream Ks for any symmetric-key algorithms using U-matrix is proposed in this paper. The advantage of this method is generation of key K from Ks is based on some deterministic procedure which is then applied to DES algorithm and K is not necessarily remembered by both sender and receiver. Further, in each round different key is used as opposed to usage of single key in classical DES. Experimental results clearly show the security is increased when it is compared with classical DES.

Quality control and the appearance evaluation of stones are quite challenging in the industry today. The similar appearance of different stones containing the same minerals may result in economic losses, and if the customers fail to identify the type of slates delivered to them correctly, disagreements may arise between the buyers and granite vendors. This study is an attempt toward the automation of surface quality assessment of the Nehbandan(Iran) speckled granite and measurement of the surface patterns under fixed conditions using image processing techniques in order to classify the granite tiles based on their type and amount of impurities and veins. The experimental tests comparing the presented approach with the texture descriptors in the introduced dataset prove the efficiency of the proposed method and its applications under controlled conditions, including the classification of speckled granite tiles with different image resolutions.
