The fight of the Religious Right in Europe: old whines in new bottles
Authors: Mos Martijn
Published: November 2018

European Union values such as human dignity and non-discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation are enshrined in treaties and therefore not subject to discussion. However, because the European Union does not have the tools for defining or enforcing its values, the Religious Right can exploit this ambiguity through strategic framing and norm contestation. I show how this played out for European Citizens’ Initiatives on sexual and reproductive health and rights (‘One of Us’) and marriage and the family (‘Mum, Dad & Kids’). The petitioners pursued traditionally conservative goals, yet relied on technical, rather than moral or religious, arguments.
Gender in the crisis and remaking of Europe: re-gendering subsidiarity
Authors: Walby Sylvia
Published: November 2018

This article analyses the gender dimension of the European Commission’s proposals to revise the governance of the European Union in response to the crisis by increasing the powers of the European Union level. The proposed change in the location of the subsidiarity boundary has significant gender implications: subsidiarity is gendered. The alternative strategies for economic growth and security have implications for democracy and gender equality. The concepts of ‘gender regime’ (and its social-democratic and neoliberal varieties) and ‘project’ are developed and applied. The possibility of the embedding of the gender-equality project in the new institutions proposed by the Commission is discussed.
EVALUATION OF FLEXURAL CAPACITY AND DUCTILITY ON HIGH-STRENGTH CONCRETE BEAMS REINFORCED WITH FRP REBAR AND STEEL FIBER
Authors: Li Jinzhang
Published: November 2018

C60 class of concrete is produced with addition of hooked-end steel fibres at dosages of 0kg/m3, 39kg/m3, 78kg/m3, 117kg/m3, and its compressive strength and split tensile strength are measured. The flexural behaviour of high-strength concrete beams containing basalt fibre reinforced polymer (BFRP) rebars and steel fibres is investigated in the present study. An experimental program was set up and seven reinforced concrete beams have been tested, including one series with steel fibres content of 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5% in volume, and one series with ratio of BFRP rebars from 0.38%, 0.57% to 0.76%, 0.95% and tested under four-point flexural loading condition. The result revealed that with the addition of steel fibre, crucial properties of working performance, ductility, and bearing capacity is improved. By increasing BFRP rebar reinforcement ratio, desired ultimate strength is anticipated. Considering the deformability and energy dissipation, a synthesis ductility index for FRP and steel fibre reinforced beams was proposed; while a synthesis ductility index for FRP reinforced flexural structure was also advised. The model of the synthetic ductility index coefficient is verified by relevant experimental data, and was expected to give an insight into the problem of deformability and ductility for the FRP rebar (and steel fibre) reinforced flexural concrete member.

Chest illnesses like heart failure, lung tumor or lung tuberculosis, and so on is frequently in view of chest X-ray images (CXR). The ailments are treatable on the off chance that they are recognized in their beginning times. Analyzing CXR is a tedious procedure. Now and again, therapeutic specialists had ignored the illnesses in their first examinations on CXR, and when the pictures were reevaluated, the malady signs could be detected. Furthermore, the quantity of CXR to look at is various and a long ways past the capacity of accessible therapeutic staff, particularly in creating nations. A PC supported finding (CAD) framework can check presumed zones on CXR for cautious examination by restorative specialists, and can give caution in the cases that need critical consideration. This paper reports our persistent work on developing an algorithm that aids the radiologists for the diagnosis of chest radiographs.

Published: November 2018

Reverse Engineering is the process of revealing hidden code from class file. It converts garbage to readable English text. The main purpose of Reverse Engineering is to uncover the hidden code when the documentation is poor, missing source file, and developer is no longer available to provide the original code source file. Hacker uses Reverse Engineering to attack the class file to uncover the code. Then, the code can be reused for other purposes without taking any permission from the original author. The class file contains all the information and business rules that will be revealed once Reverse Engineering process attacks. Anti-Reverse Engineering techniques are developed to stop, delay, and prevent Reverse Engineering; one of the most common techniques is Obfuscation. It has many forms of protection such as, changing the names of classes and variables names, hide classes, and change form of code. In this paper, an appraisal will be conducted to study the current Obfuscation techniques. This research proposes a new hybrid technique that is based on obfuscation; the technique will be using mathematics, Unicode, and unknown language to convert the source file to a garbage running file that does same task which normal source file does for java applications.

Authors: E.M Manogem , P.K Soumya , Y Shibu
Published: November 2018

The present investigation attempted to evaluate the genotoxicity effect of ecdysone agonist, on the wing architecture using the land mark based shape analysis through geometric morphometrics. The study revealed that the fore and hind wings of treated male and female showed significant variation in shape. High significance in shape was observed in male fore and hind wings. But, variation in size was not affected. The analysis of symmetry and asymmetry between left and right wings, suggests that the untreated male exhibit shape difference between left and right forewings and similar variation was also found in forewings of treated female. These findings demonstrate that, chromafenozide treated on the egg masses produced genotoxic effect on the adult wing architecture of C. cephalonica. Both the male and female forewing showed high significant shape decomposition at P = 0.0001 level exposed to 1/5 EC50 of chromafenozide. The morphological alteration in wing shape suggests that, it affects the aerodynamics pattern of the insect. In the present study, species diagnosis was performed in laboratory reared F1 generation using multilocus barcoding technique and obtained a sequence of 658bp (CO I) and 563bp (18s) in length.

Published: November 2018

Software Process Models from its inception instill standardization and creates a generic culture of developing software for various IT industries. A great paradigm shift has been observed in terms of embracing Agile Development methodology as a viable development methodology in cross key business units. There is a buffet of agile methodologies comes under the umbrella of ASD, out of which Scrum got the highest popularity and acceptability index.  Agile based software development is the need of immediate environment. There is an increasing demand for significant changes to software systems to meet ever-changing user requirements and specifications. As Agile is volatile, so effort estimation is challenging and still striving for perfection to decide size, effort, cost, duration and schedule of projects with minimum error. This cause sensitizes potential researchers all across the globe to start working on addressing the issue of inaccurate predication of efforts. The gap between estimated and actual effort is because of limited or no inclusion of various estimation factors like people and project related factors, inappropriate use of size metric and cost drivers, ignorance of testing effort, team member’s inability to understand user story size and complexity etc. This paper attempts to bridge the gap of estimated and actual effort by the use of soft computing techniques thus taking the research to advance frontier area in terms of estimation.

Published: November 2018

Over the recent years, there has been a huge interest towards Electroencephalogram (EEG) based brain computer interface (BCI) system. BCI system enables the extraction of meaningful information directly from the human brain via suitable signal processing and machine learning method and thus, many researches have applied this technology towards rehabilitation and assistive robotics. Such application is important towards improving the lives of people with motor diseases such as Amytrophic Lateral Scelorosis (ALS) disease or people with quadriplegia/tetraplegia. This paper introduces features extraction method based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) with logarithmic bin-ning for rapid classification using Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm, with an application towards a BCI system with a shared con-trol scheme. In general, subjects wearing a single channel EEG electrode located at F8 (10-20 international standards) were required to syn-chronously imagine a star rotating and mind relaxation at specific time and direction. The imagination of a star would trigger a mobile robot suggesting that there exists a target object at certain direction. Based on the proposed algorithm, we showed that our algorithm can distin-guish between mind relaxation and mental star rotation with up to 80% accuracy from the single channel EEG signals.

Authors: Bopparathi Naresh , S Rambabu , ArunaManjusha K
Published: November 2018

The present voting system in India is a time consuming process and not so secured. Our project proposes and implements a simple and secured method of polling vote using aadhaar information. Over a period of time there have been many improvisations in the field of voting which aim at increasing the flexibility, reliability, security, scalability and less time consumption to announce the results. In this system the user has to use his finger print to poll the vote.The fingerprints available in the aadhaar database are used for the candidature verification, which will be stored in the computer through which the further process is carried out. The voter need not carry his/her voter ID to the polling booth. A finger print module is used for accessing fingerprints. Once the user gives the finger print it will be compared with the existing data and if it is a genuine user it will be verified else the user is barred from voting and also if a user attempts to vote for the second time it will not be allowed. Once the voting process is finished the authoritative officer accesses the results immediately using a unique PIN provided to him.

Published: November 2018

Fossil fuel saving is part of the 21th century goal. One of the largest sectors that consumes energy is the building sector since it consumes 40% of the total energy in Europe through heating and cooling. Thus, the need of minimizing the energy consumption played an important role in the development of building insulation materials. Selection of a proper material for building insulation differs according to the building surrounding climate and the properties required in the material. Building climate determines the insulating material location whether its internal or external while properties can differ according to many parameters that affect the material quality such as thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, waterproofing, resistance to fire and mechanical properties. Another factor is newly considered which doesn’t affect the product quality but has an influence in the energy consumption is the environmental impact. The aim of the research is considering most of the above factors through making a composite of rice straw particles bounded by a polymer to produce roof insulations. The utilization of wastes such as rice straw to produce a high quality product with the least price is the research main objective. The polymers selected for research are the unsaturated polyester resin and the polyurethane foam polymers. The polyester is not recently applied for insulation on comparison with the polyurethane foam which is dominant through the global market. At the end of the research, satisfying results have been achieved to nominate the 80% polyurethane foam and 20% rice straw composite as the best sample among all of the prepared samples. The other samples include polyester and rice straw composite with different compositions. The foam and straw sample have the best insulation with value of 0.1627 W/m oC. The compression strength has also been improved on addition of rice straw to the polyurethane foam by three times the initial value. Also, the density measurement revealed a very light composite which is suitable for the construction field requirements. This results in reducing the cost by 28.35%. On contrast, polyester samples which have very high density and higher K factor are not so efficient, so it is suggested that they can be applied at rural regions due to their low cost.

Authors: Santhi C , Moparthy Gurunadha Babu Dr.
Published: November 2018

A Symmetric Stacked Fast Binary counter design is proposed in this paper. In the circuit design, the first phase is occupied by 3-bit stacking circuits, which are further followed by combining circuits. The resultant novel circuit thus becomes a 6-bit stacker. A 6:3 counter has been chosen as an example to demonstrate the working of the proposed circuit. The proposed circuit is further implemented by using reversible logic gates. Heat dissipation is a major problem in the designing of a digital circuit. Rolf Landauer has proved that the information loss in a digital circuit is directly proportional to the energy dissipation. The proposed modified Symmetric Stacking counter is implemented using reversible logic gates thus reducing the power dissipation of the circuit.

Published: November 2018

The advances recently seen in data compression, and communication systems, have made it viable to design wireless image transmission systems. For many applications such as confidential transmission, military and medical applications, data encryption techniques should be also used to protect the confidential data from intruders. For these applications, both encryption and compression need to be performed to transmit a message in a fast and secure way. Further, the wireless channels have fluctuating channel qualities and high bit error rates. In this paper, a new scheme based on encryption and channel coding has been proposed for secure image transmission over wireless channels. In the proposed scheme, the encryption process is based on keys generator and Chaotic Henon map. Turbo codes are utilized as channel coding to deal effectively with the channel errors, multipath signal propagation and delay spread. Simulation results show that the proposed system achieves a high level of robustness against wide different of attacks and channel impairments. Further, it improves image quality with acceptable data rates.

Published: November 2018

A binding material forms the core of any construction material as it physically, chemically and mechanically holds the mix together. From lime to cement, the binding materials used conventionally has changed and evolved. Cement is a mineral binding material which reacts with water and has to be cured over a 28-day period to attain its characteristic strength in addition to holding the mix together as a homogenous substance. An organic binding material is one in which an organic substance like resins, bitumen, etc., make a transition from a plastic state to hardened state by a physical or chemical process. In this investigation, cement is completely replaced by epoxy resin as an organic binder and specimen were cast with combinations of epoxy and different filler materials. The filler materials used are Fly Ash, Fumed Silica, GGBS, Quartz, Copper Slag and Silica Fume. The specimen were tested for compressive strength, tensile strength, Flexural Strength and Chemical Resistance. The flexural test was conducted on prisms with and without fibre subjected to three-point and four-point cyclic loading. Compressive Strength was done on cubes 40X40X40 mm on 1,3,5 and 7th days of casting. Dog-bone shaped specimens were subjected to tensile stress by a specially prepared tensile setup. The chemical resistance of the specimen was also tested by immersing it in 5% diluted solutions of Sulphuric acid, Nitric Acid and Hydrochloric acid. The main objective of this project is to analyse each mix design and deduce its suitable field of application based on its various characteristics exhibited by each mix combination.

Published: November 2018

The study aims to provide an Automatic Feeder Machine to inspect the Ball diameter to eliminate any parallax error and to reduce the measuring time significantly also to create an ergonomic environment for the operator. The measurement of Steel Ball diameter which is very much important needs to measure 100% before assembly. The inspection is done manually by using Micrometer which takes more time and possibility committing parallax error by operator. The micrometer needs to calibrate with master very frequently. The micrometers are normally used to measures very precision parts in rare frequency only. The possibility of mixing up rejected with acceptable items is very common in this type of inspection. The balls which are measured manually are kept separately according to the ball diameters. Due to high measurement ratio of the balls, operator by mistake passes the rejected balls in to right balls. To avoid this problem, this study focused on to develop the automatic inspection machine of vibrator feeding mechanism for balls to improve the accuracy of inspection and reduce the inspection time.

Published: November 2018

Conventional Steel Cylinders used for LPG cylinder for domestic applications are not manufactured in a single joint but are welded. While composite cylinders are manufactured in a single joint, Composite components cannot be welded like the steel cylinder. Composite Cylinders are winded using Filament Winding technique. Compared to Steel Cylinders, Composite Cylinders are costlier. As composite cylinders are safer than steel cylinder, composite Cylinders due to a rubber lining inside, they are 100% leak proof. If mass production of composite cylinders are done then the cost may get reduced. This paper summarizes the design and analysis of the manufacturing of Liquid petroleum gas (LPG) Cylinder using Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) material. The stresses along all the directions of the ply sequence are also calculated using Classical Lamination Theory (CLT).  The fibre stresses along all the directional angles were found to be under the required stress limits. The Metallic boss Calculation & angle variation at dome is the key parameter and is carried out and determined the tip radius.

In this, a hypothetical deduction and re-enactments approaches were used which helps to perform VFFC determination. The resultant VFFC-QRRLM estimation can confine and limit the faulty unitswhile dealing with different degrees of nonlinearvariations. Recreation comes about demonstrate that the proposed VFF-QRRLM calculation is more vigorous and exact than traditional recursive minimum squares-based techniques in evaluating both time-shifting narrowband recurrence segments and broadband otherworldly segments with incautious parts.

Published: November 2018

Unlike bacterial signal molecules, secreted yeast ones, which ensure their coordinated behavior as a single system, have been little studied. We used the image processing technique to evaluate the environmental conditions. Communication through quorum sensing molecules (QSM) is the dominant signaling in prokaryotic populations. In eukaryotic yeast cells, stress, caused primarily by the nutrient limit, causes a phenotypic manifestation of the mechanism of dimorphic switching, encompassing the repression of certain groups of genes and the activation of others, determining adhesion and virulence. Analysis of literature data and the results of the authors' own research emphasize the importance of signaling studies involving autoinducer molecules to elucidate the fundamental laws governing the regulation of yeast physiology, including growth parameters, morphogenesis and pathogenicity.

Preservation of biodiversity (interspecific, intraspecific) is one of the urgent tasks that requires a systematic, comprehensive, scientifically based approach. Engineering design of the bird life area, includes modeling, packaging the area and its effects on environment. For this purpose we design the procedure by finite element method for biological life of bird. A vivid example of restoration and preservation of biological diversity of fauna and flora should be considered the implementation of the environmental project "Regulation of the riverbed of the Syrdarya and the Northern Aral Sea”. The project was initiated by well-known Russian and Kazakh scientists with the support of the government of Kazakhstan and world financial institutions. The aim of the project is the construction of new and reconstruction of existing hydrological structures. The result of this project, among other things (improving the economic, social, environmental situation) is the restoration of biological diversity. The process of recovery is gradual, depends on many external factors and requires detailed study, scientific justification for individual periods and phases. Bird fauna is considered conservative enough in the choice of habitats and is an indicator of the restoration of biodiversity. This paper is devoted to keeping track of bird in the water spills of the Baskara canal (the main left-bank channel of the Syrdarya river) in the eastern part of the Kazalinsky district (Kazakhstan's Aral Sea area). During the surveys, 13 species of birds were recorded, which are representatives of 8 orders. The most part (77%) of registered birds belongs to the limnophilic group - the wetland birds.  Impoverished species composition is due to the climatic conditions of the accounting year, the lack of sufficient shelter, the isolation of the water body. Systematic, all-season bird monitoring is required.

Openness in education is an evolving concept which is shaped by the changing needs of societies, cultures, geographies, and economies, thus, it does not have a precise definition. By focusing on four sets of generic keywords - open education, open learning, open educational resources (OERs), and open educational practices (OEPs) - this paper examines research in openness in education through a systematic review of peer reviewed literature. In doing so, the researchers sought to draw attention to existing trends and patterns and possible future trajectories of openness in education. Content analysis, social network analysis, and text-mining are the methods used for data collection and analysis. Findings show that there has been growing interest on openness in education, particularly on OERs, across different fields. Findings also point to OEPs as an emerging area of study, which offers a fertile ground for future research. However, on closer inspection, a divide can be observed between the global north and global south in terms of research output.

The concept of the state of law is not only of historical importance, but it also plays a significant role in the contemporary political and legal though. In particular, it has become one of the elements of the legal order that prevail in the European Union member States. The concept of the state of law originated in the German legal doctrine in the first quarter of the 19th century. It drew from the Kant’s idea of a reason-guided society. The fullest definition of the idea of the state of law was probably explained by Robert von Mohl in his work “Encyclopaedia of Political Sciences” published in 1859. The ideas it contained, however, had been known already in the thirties of that century. According to Mohl, the state of law is not a form of state, but rather a certain order of rights and duties of the state towards its citizens as well as the citizens towards the state. Hence it does not matter whether a state is a monarchy or a republic. There are many controversies when it comes to the history of the state of law. Among the main ones is the question whether the criteria of the state of law are of a formal or substantial character. The formal conception of the state of law prevailed in the 19th century Germany and the Weimar Republic. Since the Second World War and the negative experience with a totalitarian state, both fascist and communist, it has been accepted that there is no state of law without a minimum, rather broader than narrower, of citizen’s rights and institutions that secure them. The paper presents the origin and development of the concept of a state of law and compares it with the concept of the rule of law.
Repudium i jego skutki prawne w świetle kodyfikacji Justyniana

Among the allowable forms of termination of marriage in Justinian law were repudium and divortium. At the time of Christian emperors, however, under the influence of the views of the Christian Church, those practices were often criticised and there were attempts to limit, or restrict their use. The paper deals with repudium at the stage of codification. It must be said that at that stage Justinian did not introduce any radical changes to the existing foundations of the previous regulations. However, he distanced himself from the Church doctrine, and skilfully assessed the social expectations and needs, pointing, at the same time, that termination of marriage is a necessary evil, and it is the innocent children who suffer as a result thereof. Hence the welfare of the children (favor liberorum) was for Justinian one of the main reasons for restricting the right of a unilateral repudiation of marriage. The provisions of the former law that Justinian decided to uphold, were discriminatory against women, particularly with regards to penal sanctions for unjustified repudium. Undoubtedly, his major contribution to the regulation of matrimonial law was recognition of the husband’s incapacity of fulfilling his marriage duties as a ground for the wife’s repudium bona gratia. Another provision that is noteworthy and for which Justinian must be acknowledged is introduction of provisions securing alimony to the abandoned spouse and children in the event of a marriage without dowry. The measures undertaken by Justinian at the codification stage of the reformed matrimonial and family law constitute an unquestioned preliminary draft of the subsequent reformed law made in the Novellae.
Zarys historii idei elitaryzmu. Od Platona do Czesława Znamierowskiego
Authors: Maciejewski Marek

The subject of this paper is political elitism (or the existence of political elites) and the shaping of that concept from the ancient times to the 20th century, on the example of the views of its main creators from Plato, through Claude Henri de Saint-Simon, Georges Sorel, or Max Weber to Czesław Znamierowski. Particular focus has been put on the ideas developed at the turn of the 19th century, including those of Robert Michels, Gaetano Mosca and Vilfredo Pareto, which the author considers to be the fullest and most original. All those ideas have been based on the presumption that the existence of elites is an obvious and indispensible fact since people are different and the natural inequality among them must be maintained to comply with intellectual, moral, or religious premises. Although, practically, all concepts of elitism have been critical of the Marxist theory or any other form of socialist ideology, most theorists hold an opinion that political elites should not isolate themselves in a closed circle, but allow at least some representatives of the other parts of society to join in. Only such ‘circulation’, they claim, can ensure durability of the elites and their survival. Some more recent concepts of political elites go further and propose that interests and aspirations of social masses be taken into account as broadly as possible. This view is a consequence of a conviction that elitism understood as a manner in which political structures function has disappeared and we are currently dealing with an objective process where different types of elites are emerging to create ‘lesser elites’, which – as the process of democratisation of public life continues – results in a gradual departure from the idea of government composed of excellent minds and personalities.
Rezolucje interpretacyjne Rady Nieustającej

One of the most important powers of the Permanent Council that functioned in the years 1775 1789 in Poland was the interpretation of the law in force. The Council issued interpretative resolutions based on the drafts prepared by the Department of Justice, and those resolutions were subsequently approved at the Council’s plenary sessions. Minutes of the Permanent Council’s sessions that have been preserved to these days were the subject of a study which subsequently allowed to identify the entities which petitioned for the interpretation of an unclear provision, the main reasons of doubts in the construction of law, and the main issues or problems that needed to be clarifi ed. The knowledge gained from this study sheds new light on the performance of the Permanent Council which was the fi rst central body of executive power operating in the Polish territory.
Kontradyktoryjność i inkwizycyjność w europejskiej procedurze cywilnej XIX i XX wieku

Socialisation of private law in the second half of the 19th century brought about a new approach to a civil process and its purpose. The main characteristics of the evolution of the civil procedure in the 19th and 20th centuries was limited autonomy of the parties to a process. This limitation was introduced to ensure fair, expedient and cost-effective judgment. A tendency to replace the principle of an adversarial trial with elements of an inquisitorial trial was observed in civil law as well as common law systems. Relevant changes were fi rst made in the Franz Klein Austrian code of civil procedure, followed by departures from the formal truth in the civil process implemented in the system in Germany, Hungary, the Swiss cantons of Zurich and Bern, in Poland, and later, in the second half of the 20th century, also in France. In the common law system, the reform of 1999 ascertained judges a number of discretionary powers to help them establish the facts in a civil proceeding. Those changes added the public element in the civil procedure, but the very idea of a private process and the protection of private interests has been maintained. The totalitarian regimes which emerged in some European states considerably distorted the process of shaping the relationship between the state and the individual. In the socialist civil proceeding, the principle ne eat iudex ultra petita partium was replaced with ex offi cio ultra petita, which was a novelty characteristic of the civil procedure of totalitarian states. The departure from an adversarial principle in the socialist civil process was not much different from the general tendencies observed in the civil procedure in West European states. After the political transformations and change of the regime, former states of the Eastern Bloc sought to signifi cantly increase the autonomy of the parties in a civil process. However, as experience of the Western European states shows, certain public elements must be taken into account in a civil procedure if the European Convention on Human Rights is to be observed.
