Authors: Jabbar Arshi , Lilhore Prof. Umesh
Published: August 2018

Cloud storage is one among the service provided by Cloud computing within which information is maintained, managed, secured remotely and created available to users over a network. The user concerning about the integrity of data hold on within the cloud because the user’s data will be attacked or changed by outside attacker. Therefore, a new thought referred to as information auditing is introduced that check the integrity of knowledge with the assistance of an entity referred to as Third Party Auditor (TPA). The aim of this work is to develop an auditing scheme that is secure, economical to use and possess the capabilities like privacy conserving, public auditing, maintaining the information integrity together with confidentiality. It comprises 3 entities: data owner, TPA and cloud server. The data owner performs numerous operations like splitting the file to blocks, encrypting them, generating a hash value for every, concatenating it and generating a signature on that. The TPA performs the main role of knowledge integrity check. It performs activities like generating hash value for encrypted blocks received from cloud server, concatenating them and generates signature on that. It later compares each the signatures to verify whether or not the information stored on cloud is tampered or not. It verifies the integrity of data on demand of the users. To make sure data protection or security of cloud data storage at cloud end, security architecture is designed that secures the data using encryption/decryption algorithm where the proposed algorithm is a hybrid encryption algorithm that uses the concept of EC-RSA, AES algorithm and Blowfish algorithm along with SHA-256 for auditing purpose. Presented experiment results show that the proposed concept is reasonable, it enhancing efficiency about 40% in terms of execution time i.e. encryption as well as decryption time and security and providing confidentiality of cloud data at could end.

Establishing entrepreneurial character is pretty much essential to be taught in educational institution. This could even be given from the elementary level of education since it is a lifelong learning of an individual. The purpose of this research is to analyze the establishment process of entrepreneurial character in students through the implementation of learning activities based on project. Research is based on interesting phenomena, creativity, innovation, and self-confidence in taking risks in students in the entrepreneurial learning process that has to do with product creation and entrepreneurship in schools starting from elementary education to secondary education. This research was conducted with qualitative methods using snowball sampling with data collection techniques of observation, interviews, documentation and also data triangulation to validate the collected data. Data analysis used analysis techniques from Spradley through domain analysis and semantic relationships. The results showed that the process of learning activities based on the project can shape the character of students' entrepreneurship according to the level of education. Characters in elementary school students were independent, creative, honest and disciplined. Junior high school formed entrepreneurial characters such as: Self-sufficient, creative, responsibility, cooperation, hard work, risk-taking and communicative. While high school students formed characters of self-sufficient, creative, responsibility, cooperation, hard work, brave to take risks and communicative, leadership and success-oriented
River Basin Hydrological Balance Evaluation in Term of the Land Use Change Impact
Authors: Novotná Beáta , Čimo Ján , Chvíla Branislav , Pozníková Gabriela
Published: August 2018

Assessment of the land use impact on the processes of water balance in the river basin should be an indispensable part of integrated river basins management. This paper compares climatic conditions occurring during the long-term period (1951-1980), following the situation immediately after dry conditions (1993-1999) and extremely rainy dates (2009-2012) with emphasis to estimate the runoff components in the Žitava river basin: the Obyce sub-catchment, situated in its upper part (74.5 km2) in the Slovak Republic. Modelling of the land use change effect on the total hydrology balance of the river basin characteristics was performed using the hydrological model WaSiM-ETH. The model was applied to evaluate the vegetation type influence and the water balance change in the presently mostly forested river basin (1), altering its replacement by the permanent grasses (2) and bushes (3), with emphasis to different total water balance characteristics change. The present state land use data were taken from the Corine Land Cover of the Slovak Republic. Model results show that actual evapotranspiration would decrease from -1.3% in case of bushes in 2009 up to -32.5% in case of grass in 2011. However, 13.3% rise was considered for bushes in 2010. Total annual discharge shows its increment in all observed changes from 5.9% for bushes in 2010 up to 65.3% for grass in 2012. Only in case of bushes in 2011 there was observed slight decrease of about -3.1%. Regarding the very expected land use change, especially in connection with the ongoing global climate change, the estimation of the hydrology balance components is of utmost significance.

The controversial nature of workfare programmes
Authors: Papp Imola Cseh , Varga Erika , Szira Zoltán , Hajós László
Published: August 2018

According to the OECD, active employment policies include all social expenditure that are directed at improving the chances of finding a job and income generation (except education). Active labour market policies are around to assist in enhancing labour market flexibility at the times of economic changes. Their key components are the so-called activation strategies that act as typical prerequisites of benefitting from unemployment security/support systems in every EU country. The workfare concept lies behind the public work programmes. There are serious professional debates whether public work can primarily be seen as a ’compulsion and work test’ or, rather, as an opportunity of entering the primary labour market. The available efficiency analyses unanimously state that public work forms have the biggest role in testing willingness to work and the obligatory nature is the strongest of all active labour market policies. Research also indicates that public work reintegrates only few people back to the primary labour market and the majority are restrained from seeking a job and other income generating activities. There are several reasons for and against public work and opinions differ. The paper summarises the benefits and drawbacks on the basis of international and Hungarian analyses.
Empirical Analysis of the Impact of Brexit Referendum and Post-Referendum Events on Selected Stock Exchange Indexes
Authors: Kurecic Petar , Kokotovic Filip
Published: August 2018

The paper studies the impact of political turbulence in the United Kingdom in 2016 and 2017 on selected relevant stock indexes. The empirical analysis consists of unit breakpoint tests. The potential points of structural break are determined based on an overview of occurrences of political instability from the Brexit referendum to the snap Parliamentary election of 2017. The paper concludes that the outcome of the referendum on Brexit caused a structural break that was visible in every stock index studied. On the other hand, the paper fails to find any evidence of a structural break caused by subsequent events, namely the decision to call the snap election or the outcome of the election itself. This implies that investors have accepted the UK decision to leave the EU and there was no further destabilization of the stock markets. It can be further concluded that the United Kingdom and the European Union need to address a deep political divide and find a way to coexist and mutually benefit in the period of negotiations and after the Brexit takes place
Investigating Industry Dynamics in a Recessionary Transition Economy
Authors: Vitezić Vanja , Srhoj Stjepan , Perić Marko
Published: August 2018

The paper investigates the statistical regularities of industry dynamics in a transition economy and its manufacturing industry over a six-year period of recession. The static analysis of distributions supports several established stylized facts on firm size and growth-rate distributions. The growth rate distribution featured a sequential, year-by-year procyclical change of the left side of distribution, suggesting that the more years an economy spends in a recession, the greater the decline in the revenue of its firms. On the “growing” side, the recession opened increasing growth opportunities for a small subset of small firms, while it diminished growth opportunities for medium and large firms. The segregation of sectors by technological intensity gives evidence that the high-tech sectors show upward trend of the growth rate distributions’ right side of as the recession unfolded. Sectorial concentration ratios mostly increased, while changes in the unimodality of the firm-size distribution occurred at the end of the economic downturn
(Dis)Advantages af Decentralization Models Driven by Non-Economic Reasons: The Case of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Soko Aida
Published: August 2018

This paper uses a DEA-VRS methodology for the estimation of municipal efficiency to provide empirical evidence of the impact of decentralization in BiH under the Dayton Peace Agreement (DPA) on overall municipal efficiency. In particular, the paper focuses on the analysis of the overall efficiency of 33 new municipalities established under DPA. The findings suggest that the average municipal efficiency in BiH is rather low, and only 23 or 16% of municipalities in BiH are efficient. The average efficiency achieved is around 0.71. This means that with the same level of inputs (budget revenue) outputs may be increased by almost 30%, on average. The results of DEA-VRS efficiency estimation suggest that new municipalities have lower average efficiency (0.60) in comparison to “older” municipalities (0.74). In our sample, only six percent of newly created municipalities are efficient, 12% exhibit some level of efficiency, while the remaining 82% are inefficient, with significant share (39%) of very inefficient municipalities
“Clean and Dirty” on Batavia Canal and Colonial Spatial Transformation
Authors: Dewi Euis Puspita
Published: August 2018

The issue of cleanliness is not only related to the physical aspect, but it is also closely related to social and cultural dimensions. The concept of "clean" and "dirty" can be used as a marker of differences of race, class, and color of skin, either in relation to clothing, body, natural environment, or built environment. Batavia canals as artificial environment of the colonial period, now dirty and smelly, is a phenomenon that needs to be revealed by understanding its long history through photographs, paintings, and stories in terms of "clean" and "dirty" as well as all the activities on the canals. That evidence can be traced synchronically and diachronically.In the beginning of the 17th century, Batavia Canal was a wide, clean, and beautiful stream for defensive purposes, recreation, flood control, and status markers, then it transformed into a dirty, smelly, and disgusting canal in the mid 18th century. Finally the Batavia canal was abandoned, and the authority the Europeans was moved the administrative center to a higher area called Weltevreden for hygiene reasons. It resulted on the development of landhuis along the Molenvliet canal, that was ever built in 1648 was revived and used as the access that connects the upper and lower town. In the beginning of the 20th century, the Molenvliet and Pasar Baru canalsin Weltevreden area were no longer used by the European, especially when technology,transportation, and sanitation were developed. At that time, Europeans had to choose whether to live in a more classy and civilized lifestyle. Instead, they prefer to choose horse-drawn carriages and trams as a means of transportation and a bathroom at the backyard as a space for cleanliness. Whereas, the canal is used only by indigenous people to do daily activities, such as bathing, washing, fishing and others. Canal became a marker of stratification status of indigenous and European. The European used a room bounded walls as personal services area, while indigenous people used canal as their sanitation public services.The canal is recognized as a ‘dirty’ area because of the history. Therefore, the public should create the concept of cleanliness deriving from their own cultural identity instead of imitating others.

About Nusantara Architecture: a Matter of Either-or or Both-and toward Place for Better Living in the Humid Tropic
Authors: Prijotomo Joseph
Published: August 2018

‘Space’ and ‘Better living’ are continuing issues and discourse in architecture. It covers as large as philosophical to practical ones. We may find, for instance, issues in space as one of construction of mind in one extreme, and space as one of volume in certain magnitude at its other extreme. In terms of better living we may also find similar extremes. We may also find that since the times of modern era, space is practically considered as volume of certain magnitude, as is exemplified in a number of standards of areas needed for particular activity;
while in terms of better living the focus is in comfort that should be provided in particular room. Unfortunately, we –the Indonesians-- hardly aware and realize that they are not only of western sources, but more importantly, of western mindset. Since they are beautifully and neatly concealed under one objectivity of mind and reason, science, most of us know and accept them as the objective and correct standards. The fact that the West (ie. Europe and North America) are region with four seasons climate system has unavoidably underlies the building of those standards and knowledge. Indonesia and other tropical areas of the world is not region in such a four seasons climate system; it is in a two seasons climate system. This two climate seasons is not simply a variant of climate system; it is of ‘the other’ climate system, as will be demonstrated in this paper. Hence, we may consider this paper as talking about space for better living’ from the point of view of climate system.

The clock remains ticking, While the ideals of having architecture that serves better living is always at hand, we are confronted with the question whose living: the wealthy few or every single people, the elite or the common and the elite people. To the four season climate system, living with artificial climate is not incorrect; even the attitude of taking aside the climate is understandable. To the two season climate system, living with natural climate is also not incorrect; and the attitude of optimizing the natural climate is understandable. These two climate system is fundamentally different, and it must be a fatal mistake and fundamental incorrectness to deal with one as a variant of the other. The fact that our knowledge in two season climate system is very poor, that does not mean that this system be discarded.

The call for architecture for better living is demanding a definite respond: a denial (and ultimately, elimination) of two season climate system, or an equal, yet distinct, both two and four season climate system. The former is quite easy while the latter requires hard work. The former will make architecture in Indonesia serves the wealthy few, while the latter will serves the whole people of Indonesia.

Authors: Rahayu Olivia Yuni
Published: August 2018

RISHA system of Petogogan’s row house in South Jakarta, is applied to solve the problem of slum settlement area along the Krukut river bank. The inhabitants of the row house have their own assessment in term of the need level for living. By using quantitative -QUALITATIVE approach, it is uncovered that the inhabitants have the concept of ‘nearly adequate’ to maintain the occupying space which actually does not quite accommodate their daily activities. However, they arrange the space in certain ways to meet their needs. ‘Nearly adequate’ concept consists of three unique ideas: flexible, economic and it manifests the concept of sincerity. At the end of this article will be presented about a model of that ‘nearly adequate‘ concept.

Role of Damaged Heritage Rapid Assessment in Post-Disaster Recovery Program
Authors: Wijayanto Punto
Published: August 2018

Indonesia is a country located in the ring of fire. Various kinds of disasters threats parts of Indonesia, including its rich cultural and natural heritage assets. Since the 2004, Tsunami in Aceh, the government gives serious attention to disaster. In 2007, it stipulated the Law 24/2007 on Disaster Management. It's so unfortunate that cultural heritage is not yet part of main concern during disaster programs. In addition, there are only few experiences in the world about how to deal with the condition of heritage affected by disaster.

Heritage organizations in Indonesia aim to raise awareness about disaster risks on cultural heritage. They develop system of damage assessment to cultural heritage or Damage Heritage Rapid Assessment (DHRA) at the time of emergencies. Damage assessment was introduced in Yogyakarta, experienced a lot of damage caused by the massive earthquake in 2006. DHRA has been used in Padang (2009), Yogyakarta (2010), Jakarta (2013) and Manado (2014). This paper aims to explain what DHRA is and how DHRA can contribute to post-disaster rehabilitation and reconstruction of heritage district.

REVEALING TRANCENDENTAL MEANING OF OMAH DUDUR ARCHITECTURE IN URUT SEWU, GRABAG, PURWOREJO, CENTRAL JAVA, INDONESIA
Authors: Wibowo Satrio HB
Published: August 2018

Omah dudur was discovered as a typical house in Urut Sewu, Purworejo-Kebumen, Central Java,Indonesia. By this research, it was found that Omah Dudur is considered as a manifestation of universe of human, god and nature as well as a pusaka (heirlooms). It is believed that interrelation among the three universes will influence to the successes and failures of occupant’s life. As a pusaka, which is perceived to have the power and strength of wahyu (metaphysical spirit), the omah dudur spiritually should be served by a regular sacred ritual and offerings. Methodologically, this research implies Husserl’s paradigm phenomenology (1965) with the naturalistic framework of Egon G Lincoln and Guba (1985). The result of study is hopefully contributed to the development of local knowledge of Javanese architecture typology.

A STUDY OF URBAN PLACEMAKING EVOLUTION CHANGES AT PASAR SANTA JAKARTA
Authors: Oppusunggu Ruth E. , Tjoeputri Melissa , Katoppo Martin L.
Published: August 2018

Traditional markets -where bargaining is method of trading- are still one of urban fabrics that offer sense of places, and Jakarta has 153 traditional markets managed by Jakarta regional owned enterprise. Numerous of these traditional markets had been renovated into layers of concrete buildings, but many are almost paralyzed in competing with shopping malls and the new way of trading, online shopping. Pasar Santa is still one of a kind. In 2014, Santa became the hippest gathering place and prestige marketplace for the emerging creative communities and young people -a new generation of vendors and buyers- while it still maintained its everyday needs such as fresh food, groceries and housewares. Santa -with its 1151 kiosks – succeeded to compete shopping malls and became one of the must-seen place in Jakarta. But in 2015, it died down causing farther businesses left. This paper captures the placemaking research of Santa's evolution stages - especially in the end of 2016 to the end of 2017 when DAG conducted participatory action research- and analyzes the reasons behind the changing characteristics and public perception. The study shows that community's collaboration and design can fabricate Santa into vibrant urban destination again.

Aim. This study sets out to establish the demographic and clinical features of psoriasis and its co-morbidities; to describe approaches to treating patients in Russia, to whom the systemic therapy of drugs has been recommended; to assess the effects of this dermatosis on the patients' quality of life and work productivity; to assess the degree of consistency between dermatologists' and patients' estimates concerning the severity of the disease, complaints/objective manifestations and treatment satisfaction.Methods. Data from the GfK Disease Atlas was used. This ATLAS was filed within a global programme Growth from Knowledge that collected reliable data in the context of everyday clinical practice in 9 countries. The paper presents the results solely for the Russian sample. The study involved patients with moderate or severe psoriasis who were receiving systemic therapy for this disease. Using specially developed forms, ATLAS specialists registered data about patients, their disease and received treatment. The patients affected by psoriasis, who participated in the study, were questioned about their disease. Dermatologists assessed the severity of psoriasis, the patients' complaints, co-morbidities and received treatment. The patients completed questionnaires aimed at assessing the quality of their life [Dermatology Life Quality Index, DLQI] and their work productivity [Work Productivity and Activity Impairment, WPAI]. The concordance between the patients' and the dermatologists' estimates was assessed using Cohen's kappa coefficient.Results. Overall, 3,821 patients participated in the ATLAS programme, out of whom 300 patients were Russians. The average time since psoriasis diagnosis amounted to 9.9 years. 51 % of the patients complained about itching in the lesion areas. Psoriatic arthritis was registered in 19 % of the cases. Among co-morbidities, anxiety or depression was most often recorded (11 %, respectively). The proportion of patients with pruritus and related comorbid conditions increased with psoriasis severity. The disease negatively affected the quality of patients’ life (the average value of DLQI was 7.1) and their work productivity (a decrease in the work productivity reached 33.2 %), with these indicators deteriorating with psoriasis severity. Despite the dominance of moderate and severe psoriasis forms among the participants, 60 % of the patients received therapy only with topical medications. The concordance rate between the patients and the dermatologists concerning the estimation of psoriasis severity and treatment satisfaction was low.Conclusion. Despite the therapy with systemic drugs, the patients' quality of life affected by severe or moderate psoriasis forms remained low. The consistency between the views on the treatment success between the patients and the dermatologists was low.
Diffusion and Reptation Quantum Monte Carlo Study of the NaK Molecule
Authors: Segovia Marc E. , Ventura Oscar
Published: August 2018

Diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) and Reptation Monte Carlo (RMC) methods, have been applied to study some properties of the NaK molecule. Hartree-Fock (HF), Density Functional (DFT) and single and double configuration interaction (SDCI) wavefunctions with a valence quadruple zeta atomic natural orbital (VQZ/ANO) basis set were used as trial wavefunctions. Values for the potential energy curve, dissociation energy and dipole moment were calculated for all methods and compared with experimental results and previous theoretical derivations. Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations were shown to be useful methods to recover correlation in NaK, essential to obtain a reasonable description of the molecule. The equilibrium distance—interpolated from the potential energy curves—yield a value of 3.5 Å, in agreement with the experimental value. The dissociation energy, however, is not as good. In this case, a conventional CCSD(T) calculation with an extended aug-pc-4 basis set gives a much better agreement to experiment. On the contrary, the CCSD(T), other MO and DFT methods are not able to reproduce correctly the large dipole moment of this molecule. Even DMC methods with a simple HF trial wavefunction are able to give a better agreement to experiment. RMC methods are even better, and the value obtained with a B3LYP trial wavefunction is very close to the experimental one.

Authors: Jaramillo Flórez Juan David
Published: August 2018

Este texto se articula en relación a cómo en Medellín las modificaciones en la arquitectura evidencian el surgimiento y consolidación de las subjetividades de la modernidad. La ruta para dar respuesta a la pregunta es la novela Hace tiempos (1935) de Tomás Carrasquilla. A partir de esta se busca caracterizar a los sujetos  que llegaron a Medellín a principios del siglo XX, escenificar las afectaciones que sufrieron los que ya estaban allí e identificar cómo las prácticas sociales de estos habitantes dieron pie a nuevas arquitecturas. Para aclarar estos puntos será necesario abordar el contexto histórico que circunscribe la obra de Carrasquilla, además de presentar las repercusiones que la ficción literaria puede suscitar en la realidad y su estrategia para la consolidación de una nueva crítica a las nuevas formas de arquitectura.

El objetivo del presente artículo es mostrar la experiencia, metodología y resultados parciales del proyecto denominado Observatorio de Publicidad Expandida (Obs.), el cual se llevó a cabo en el marco del programa de Publicidad de la Escuela de Comunicaciones de la Universidad Federeal de Rio de Janeiro. Con base en la discusión de las cuatro dimensiones de la alfabetización en publicidad de Malmelin (2010), asi como en las nociones de agencia colectiva y producción de subjetividad de Deleuze y Guattari (1995) y el Observatorio de Publidad Expandida juntó a profesores y estudiantes de pregrado en un grupo de discusión sobre el tema. Los resultados obtenidos indican que la consciencia sobre las tácticas empleadas por las marcas no están del todo ausentes en el público y se puede traer a colación a través del debate. Sin embargo, esa consciencia no siempre deriva en un enfoque y unos hábitos más críticos como consumidores.
Computational Thinking and Literacy
Authors: Jacob Sharin Rawhiya , Warschauer Mark ,   University of California, Irvine,   University of California, Irvine
Published: August 2018

Today’s students will enter a workforce that is powerfully shaped by computing. To be successful in a changing economy, students must learn to think algorithmically and computationally, to solve problems with varying levels of abstraction. These computational thinking skills have become so integrated into social function as to represent fundamental literacies. However, computer science has not been widely taught in K-12 schools. Efforts to create computer science standards and frameworks have yet to make their way into mandated course requirements. Despite a plethora of research on digital literacies, research on the role of computational thinking in the literature is sparse. This conceptual paper proposes a three dimensional framework for exploring the relationship between computational thinking and literacy through: 1) situating computational thinking in the literature as a literacy; 2) outlining mechanisms by which students’ existing literacy skills can be leveraged to foster computational thinking; and 3) elaborating ways in which computational thinking skills facilitate literacy development.
Institutional limitations in the Sphere of Public Housing and Сommunal Services of Moscow
Authors: Kozlova S. B.
Published: August 2018

The article is devoted to the study of the regional peculiarities of the institute of public housing and communal services in Moscow — a new phenomenon for Russia, which arose during the implementation of one of the stages of administrative reform. The aim of the work is to develop socio-economic policies in the housing and communal services sector based on the identification of institutional constraints in the activities of state bodies and organizations of housing and communal services, related to the provision of services for the management, operation, and repair of housing, improvement of urban areas. The study was carried out by general scientific methods — logical, analysis, systematization and synthesis of data. We defined the specificity of budgetary institutions as the main subject of the sphere of state housing and communal services. We identified limitations in activity of formal and informal institutions in housing and communal services: the lack of criteria and mechanisms of quality control of services; staffing imbalances in the organs of management; violations of principles of confidentiality and legality of the measures taken in the consideration of the complaints of citizens; the impossibility of a full-fledged financial and economic cooperation in the chain the founder-organization; lack of coordination in owners’ activity in the management of apartment buildings. We also revealed negative informal relations in the organization of public control over housing and communal services. We concluded there is a necessity to develop the system of quality control in the field of public services with the mandatory evaluation criteria and the availability of professional staff appraisers, as well as the need for analysis of possible limitations in the implementation of the model institutions in the Russian practice. The existence of unexplored and unresolved institutional constraints provokes negative externalities in the institutional environment and cannot indicate the increment of its change.

Published: August 2018

The market economy is subject to its own special laws. Its spontaneous character is revealed during crises — the unknown phenomena of world economic life, the nature of which has not yet received a generally recognized explanation in economic science. This article is an attempt to comprehend the causes and consequences of economic crises, to classify them by the nature of the forming processes, as well as to give an economic and mathematical justification of the scientific conclusions of the proposed research. The conclusions presented in the article are based on the results of processing a wide array of unique statistical data for more than 200 years of development of the world economy. A significant part of the work is devoted to verification of the findings of the study through economic and mathematical modeling using the software platform “Infoanalytic”, the intellectual basis of which is the methodology of the regularizing Bayesian approach (modification of the “traditional” Bayesian approach) and Bayesian intelligent measurements designed to generate stable estimates under conditions of significant uncertainty as a priori, and the actual information coming in the current mode as well as. The article highlights the results of a retrospective analysis of the development of the world economy since the industrial revolution of the XVIII century. The revealed regularities allow forming the hypothesis explaining the causes of differences in the realization of economic phenomena at all stages of the long-term cyclic process.

The financial sector is at the heart of a digital transformation that has been spearheaded by FinTech, which is now shaping a new segment of modern financial markets. At the same time, the most wellknown objects of FinTech are cryptocurrency and token. Cryptocurrencies, regardless of the attitude of regulatory authorities to them, have become a virtual reality of the financial sector and are actively used to pay for goods and services. The peculiarity of cryptocurrencies is its anonymity and unaccountability of the state that defines a range of risks to society and the state. However, cryptocurrencies, along with risks, create opportunities — from the development of innovative technologies to the creation of new jobs and replenishment of the national budget. The penetration of FinTech into the financial market segments traditionally occupied by banks gave rise to a discussion about their future. However, it will probably not be the displacement of the banks but their FinTech transformation. An example of this is the payment industry, which has become one of the main consumers of the latest financial technologies and provides a wide range of opportunities for FinTech companies to develop. An important element of FinTech is RegTech (Regulatory Technology), which allows companies to bypass trade barriers and helps build a constructive dialogue with regulators. In turn, SupTech (Supervision Technology) is used for analysis and forecasting purposes. At the end of the article, based on the analysis of foreign experience, we formulated the main approaches, the implementation of which allows states to stimulate the introduction and development of new financial technologies, as well as we analysed the experience of interstate coordination of cooperation in the field of financial technologies in the EU and the EAEU countries.
Bringing Together Economics and Psychology: Theoretical and Practical Aspects (Nobel Prize in Economics 2017)
Authors: Simochkin D. I.
Published: August 2018

Behavioral economics is a field of research, where the analytical possibilities of psychology science are applied to the analysis of economic decision-making. This approach allows more in-depth analysis of the decision-making process of economic agents and opens up new opportunities for research aimed at increasing overall social benefits.

This article examines the studies of Richard Thaler, noted by the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2017, devoted to the study of three psychological features of economic man which systematically affect the behavior of economic agents: limited rationality, the perception of justice (social preferences), and the problem of selfcontrol.

Using the system approach, the author sets a goal to carry out a complex analysis of the theoretical, methodological and practical works of the Nobel Prize Laureate, that have received world recognition. The attention is also focused on the awarded Nobel Prize in connection with the peculiarities of the Nobel Committee’s policy of awarding that has been formed over the past few years, within the framework of the development of the world economic science.

The article systematizes Thaler’s scientific contribution to economics. In addition, it concludes that awarding of the Nobel Prize in 2017 fits into the overall picture of awards in the last few years. At the same time, it notes one of the main directions of the Nobel Committee’s activities related to the “definition” of such research results and programs that could rehabilitate economic science after the past economic crisis and prevent further increase in the uncertainty of the world economic system.

Background

Remarkably high carriage prevalence of a community-associated meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain of sequence type (ST) 22 in the Gaza strip was reported in 2012. This strain is linked to the pandemic hospital-associated EMRSA-15. The origin and evolutionary history of ST22 in Gaza communities and the genomic elements contributing to its widespread predominance are unknown. Methods: We generated high-quality draft genomes of 61 ST22 isolates from Gaza communities and, along with 175 ST22 genomes from global sources, reconstructed the ST22 phylogeny and examined genotypes unique to the Gaza isolates. Results: The Gaza isolates do not exhibit a close relationship with hospital-associated ST22 isolates, but rather with a basal population from which EMRSA-15 emerged. There were two separate resistance acquisitions by the same MSSA lineage, followed by diversification of other genetic determinants. Nearly all isolates in the two distinct clades, one characterised by staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) IVa and the other by SCCmec V and MSSA isolates, contain the toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 gene. Discussion: The genomic diversity of Gaza ST22 isolates is not consistent with recent emergence in the region. The results indicate that two divergent Gaza clones evolved separately from susceptible isolates. Researchers should not assume that isolates identified as ST22 in the community are examples of EMRSA-15 that have escaped their healthcare roots. Future surveillance of MRSA is essential to the understanding of ST22 evolutionary dynamics and to aid efforts to slow the further spread of this lineage.
Video Summarization: How to Use Deep-Learned Features Without a Large-Scale Dataset
Authors: Purwanto Didik , Chen Yie-Tarng , Fang Wen-Hsien , Wu Wen-Chi
Published: August 2018

This paper proposes a framework incorporating deep-learned features with the conventional machine learning models within which the objective function is optimized by using quadratic programming or quasi-Newton methods instead of an end-to-end deep learning approach which uses variants of stochastic gradient descent algorithms. A temporal segmentation algorithm is first scrutinized by using a learning to rank scheme to detect the abrupt changes of frame appearances in a video sequence. Afterward, a peak-searching algorithm, statistics-sensitive non-linear iterative peak-clipping (SNIP), is employed to acquire the local maxima of the filtered video sequence after rank pooling, where each of the local maxima corresponds to a key frame in the video. Simulations show that the new approach outperforms the main state-of-the-art works on four public video datasets.
