The present paper studies the last reforms on freedom of speech in the Uzbek media landscape based on various legal dimensions. It considers that national norms on freedom are being developed according to the international legal documents for ensuring human rights, especially new trends of the marketplace of ideas such as media freedom, digital freedom, and journalists’ safety in the country at the level of global standards. Changes in national legislation to enhance the media’s role in deepening democratic reforms during 2016-2021 have been considered. Laws such as “on Mass Media,” “on guarantees and freedom of information,” and “on the protection of journalism” were compared with international law. The study attempts to shed light on the importance of ratifying or joining the international norms accepted nearly by all world countries. In addition, several parts of certain international documents, still not expressed in national legislation, are investigated.
Implementation of Unbalanced Thermoelectric Equivalent Circuit for Power Flow and Thermal Rating of Underground LV and MV Cables
Authors: Pompodakis Evangelos , Chrysochos Andreas I. , Ahmed Arif , Alexiadis Minas C.
Published: April 2022

This manuscript proposes a time-series temperature-dependent
power flow method for unbalanced distribution networks consisting of
underground cables. A thermal circuit model for unbalanced three-phase multi-core
cables is developed to estimate the conductor temperature and resistance of
Medium and Low Voltage distribution networks. More specifically, a novel
approach is proposed to model and estimate the parameters of the three-phase
thermal circuit of 3/4-core cables, using the results of Finite Element Method and
Particle Swarm Optimization. The proposed approach is generic and can be
accurately applied to any kind of 3- or 4-core cables buried in homogeneous or
non-homogeneous soil. Furthermore, it is applicable in cases where one or more adjacent
cables exist. Using the proposed approach, the conductor temperature of each
phase can be individually and precisely calculated even in networks with highly
unbalanced loads. The proposed approach is expected to be an important tool for
simulating the steady state of unbalanced distribution networks and estimating
the conductor temperatures. The proposed thermal circuit is validated using two
4-core LV and one 3-core MV cables buried in different depths in homogeneous or
non-homogeneous soil. Time-series power flow for a whole year is performed in a
25-bus unbalanced LV network consisting of multicore underground cables.

Published: April 2022

 This paper presents a current-transformer (CT)
based energy harvesting circuit which powers a sensor board used for
three-phase AC motors. The design is based on a Texas Instruments reference
design with some modifications to suit the customer’s requirement. In this
design, three-phase current transformers with delta-connected secondary coils
are used to harvest energy from the magnetic field surrounding the input line
currents. A backup battery is used for cold starting the circuit as well as to
provide power backup when there is not enough energy harvested by the current
transformers. The practical test results match the simulated test results where
the energy harvesting board was able to harvest 5V/1.75W from three phase 10A
input line currents or from 0.85A line currents with 12 primary turns on the
current transformers

Joint Optimization of Computation Offloading and Resource Allocation in C-RAN with Multi-Access Edge Computing using Evolutionary Algorithms
Authors: Singh Sumit
Published: April 2022

The Mobile Edge computing (now known as multi-access edge computing) has been widely recognized as a key enabler for new latency sensitive applications on resource constrained mobile devices. The objective to offload a computationally intensive task to a cloud server has been extensively researched over the years. These research endeavours have been in general aimed at reducing system's energy consumption and/or latency. In this paper, we attempt to examine how profitable computation offloading is from a service provider's perspective. The joint optimization of radio and computational resources along with offloading decisions result in a mixed integer non-linear optimization problem which belong to the class of NP hard problems. To counter this challenge, we decouple the offloading decision from the resource allocation problem. At first, an approximate optimal offloading decisions are found using evolutionary algorithms like genetic algorithm and binary particle swarm optimization algorithm where the objective function is approximately calculated using machine learning based model rather than actually solving the optimization problem. Then the combination of selected mobile terminals for offloading further goes as input to resource allocation optimization problem. According to the simulations performed, the proposed evolutionary algorithms outperform spectrum efficiency based offloading algorithm in terms of profitability and have relatively lower execution times. Also, the impact of resource availability on profitability of offloading has been examined.

Coarray Polarization Smoothing for DOA Estimation with Coprime Vector Sensor Arrays
Authors: Wang Yijing , He Jin , Shu Ting , Truong Trieu-Kien
Published: April 2022

In this paper, a new scheme is proposed to estimate the directions-of-arrival (DOAs) of multiple sources using a coprime electromagnetic vector sensor (EMVS) array. Each EMVS consists of three mutually orthogonal electric dipoles and three mutually orthogonal magnetic loops, all collocated at a single point in space. By exploiting the polarization diversities embedded in the vector sensors, the COarray Polarization Smoothing (COPS) is presented to increase the degrees of freedom (DOFs) from the polarization coarray domain. In contrast to the widely used spatial smoothing technique, the COPS offers the following new insights: 1) it is source polarization-dependent and is proved to offer $20$ DOFs at most, 2) it does not reduce the efficient spatial coarray aperture of the coprime array so that it enables the use of all virtual coarray sensors without resorting to the nontrivial sparse recovery or array interpolation operations, and 3) it can be synthesized with the spatial smoothing to get the DOFs multiplied. Finally, the efficacy of the COPS scheme is verified by numerical examples.
Cone-Shaped Space Target Inertia Characteristics Identification by Deep Learning with Compressed Dataset
Authors: Li Mengmeng
Published: April 2022

An effective method for identifying inertia characteristics
of cone-shaped space target based on deep learning is proposed. The inertia
ratio is determined by the time-varying scattering fields from the cone-shaped
targets. The multistatic method is introduced to reduce
the evaluation time of time-varying scattering
fields. The micro-Doppler spectrogram (MDS) dataset is
constructed by time-frequency analysis with numerical simulation method, point
scattering model, and experimental tests. The compressed dataset is further
achieved by truncated singular value decomposition (SVD). Finally, the
micro-motion parameter identification model is constructed to identify the
inertia ratio for the cone-shaped space target. The interaction loss function and the
feed-forward denoising convolutional neural networks (DnCNNs) are employed to improve the identification accuracy. Parameters identification of the precession
frequency, precession angle, spin frequency, and inertia ratio with both
simulation and experiment datasets demonstrate the validity of the proposed
method.
Intelligent Multi-Agent Resource Allocation in 6G in-X Subnetworks with Limited Sensing Information
Authors: Adeogun Ramoni , Berardinelli Gilberto
Published: April 2022

In this letter, we investigate dynamic resource selection in dense deployments of a recent 6G mobile in-X subnetworks (inXSs). We cast resource selection in inXSs as a multi-objective optimization problem involving maximization of per inXS sum capacities. Since inXSs are expected to be autonomous, selection decisions are made by each inXS based on its local information without signalling from other inXSs. A multi-agent Q-learning (MAQL) method based on limited sensing information (SI) is then developed resulting in significant reduction in the overhead associated with intra-subnetwork SI exchanges. We perform simulations with focus on two similar but distinct resource allocation problems: joint channel and transmit power selection and channel selection with aggregation. The results indicate that: 1) appropriate settings of Q-learning parameters leads to fast convergence of the MAQL method even with 1-bit quantization of the SI; 2) the proposed MAQL approach offer similar performance and is more robust to sensing delays than the best baseline heuristic with full SI.
Ultrafast Carrier Dynamics in 2D NbTe2 Thin Films
Authors: Moss David
Published: April 2022

As
one of the representatives of emerging metallic transition metal dichalcogenides,
niobium ditelluride (NbTe2) has attracted intensive interest
recently due to its distorted lattice structure and unique physical properties.
Here, we report on the ultrafast carrier dynamics in NbTe2 measured using
time-resolved pump-probe transient reflection spectroscopy. A thickness-dependent
carrier relaxation time is observed, exhibiting a clear increase in the fast
and slow carrier decay rates for thin NbTe2 flakes. In addition, pump
power dependent measurements indicate that the carrier relaxation rates are
power-independent, with the peak amplitude of the transient reflectivity
increasing linearly with pump power. Isotropic relaxation dynamics in NbTe2
is also verified by performing polarization-resolved pump-probe measurements. These
results provide an insight into the light-matter interactions and charge
carrier dynamics in NbTe2 and will pave the way for its applications
to photonic and optoelectronic devices.
Audiobook. Development trends in 2020
Authors: Tatarinova Larуsa
Published: April 2022

The article examines the rapid development of the global audiobook market, which is currently the fastest growing sector in the field of book production. It was found that the audiobook market in the United States, which today is considered the largest in the world for the twelve months of 2019 grew by 47% compared to 2018. The growth trend of the audiobook market is stable, growth continues in 2020. The reasons for the growth, which are primarily related to the development of technology, have been studied. Smartphones, tablets and, more recently, artificial intelligence — all this has spurred the development of audiobooks and provided the desired way to get acquainted with the book to those who have vision problems, the elderly. The market for audiobook CDs in 2010 was 58% of sales against 42%. digital shifts. The shift towards the rapid growth of audiobooks began when we switched to digital media instead of using audiobook CDs. In recent years, the situation has changed rapidly because many older people have become better versed in technology, and also because the emergence of new gadgets that can read, attracts a new audience that is getting younger. The average age of listeners has grown from those who are 50 (which was relevant in 2010) to those who are not yet 50. In 2018, Google launched an audiobook store for people aged 45 in different countries in nine different languages. It is emphasized that the audiobook attracts a diverse audience, as it is no longer aimed exclusively at the elderly, but becomes interesting to people of all ages from all walks of life. It has been proven that audiobooks are rapidly gaining share in both the book market and the general media market, but the share of audiobooks in the book market does not come from printed books. 78% of all income from the book trade in the world is accounted for by the printed book. Audiobooks are taking away the frequent market in which e-books dominated a few years ago. According to analysts, by the end of 2023, revenue from the sale of audiobooks will be equal to revenues from e-books.

Published: April 2022

Life skills are acquired skills necessary to cope with the demands and challenges of everyday life. These life skills are particularly important, as through these life skills learned through sport young people can transfer them to other domains of life (education, workplace, and personal relationships). The aim of the study was to identify the predictive role of age and length of practice in the development of life skills among 210 participants of adapted sports. The sample included 170 boys and 40 girls aged 11-26 years (M = 24.05, SD = 1.59) from collective and individual sports. The instruments used were the Life Skills Scale for Sport and a semi-structured questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using Multivariate Analysis of Variance, Pearson's Correlation and Multiple Regression (p <0.05). The results showed a significant difference (p <0.05) in all life skills according to the type of sport, evidencing higher scores for team sports. Multiple regression revealed that age and time of practice showed a positive prediction regarding life skills in both groups. In practice, the results suggest that coaches and parents should encourage practitioners of adapted sports to develop their life skills through sport, especially practitioners of individual modalities and that age and time of practice had a predictor role for the development of life skills.

Authors: Ogboin Amadise S. , Kennedy Charles , Chukwuemeka Nwaobakata
Published: April 2022

The study evaluated the influence of Costus lateriflorus bagasse fibre on the properties of expansive soils. Laterite and clay soil samples along Ubeta-Ula-Ubie road in Ahoada West LGA of Rivers state, Nigeria were prepared and subjected to laboratory analysis for swelling potential, volume change, maximum dry density (MDD), optimum moisture content (OMC), consistency limits, California bearing ratio (CBR) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS). Preliminary analysis classified the soils as A-7- 6 on the AASHTO classification system. Swelling potential, volume change, maximum dry density (MDD), liquid limit (LL) and plasticity index (PI) of the stabilized Laterite and clay soils along Ubeta-Ula-Ubie road decreased with increasing percentage of Costus lateriflorus bagasse fibre, while optimum moisture content (OMC), plastic limit (PL) and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) increased with the addition of Costus lateriflorus bagasse fibre. Results established that increase bagasse fibre content improved the properties of the soil suitable for road construction. However, the bagasse fibre performed better in Laterite soil than clay soil, and 7.5% bagasse fibre would be appropriate for use as stabilization material in soil with similar characteristics like the Laterite and clay soil along Ubeta-Ula-Ubie road.

Published: April 2022

Kiswahili is a very important language in Kenya. It is both a national and official language in the republic of Kenya. However, there are concerns that the poor performance in Kiswahili in national examinations is partially attributed to the laxity in the enforcement of the school language policy. The objective of the study was to assess how the motivation, structure and enforcement of the school language policy impacts on the use of Kiswahili within the school setting, The study was conducted in 30 out of 300 public secondary schools found in Bungoma County. The respondents were 360 form three students, 90 teachers of Kiswahili and 30 principals. Stratified, purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used to sample the target groups. The questionnaire, FGD guide and document analysis guide were used to collect data. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics which included the use of frequencies, percentages and narrations. The study established that the sampled schools had language policy in place although it varied. Some schools had structured language policy while others had unstructured language policy. It was found out that motivation and punishment had an impact on the enforcement of school language policy. In view of the above findings, it was recommended all teachers regardless of the subject they teach should participate in the enforcement of the school language policy. The school administrators should ensure that their respective language policies should be fully enforced in order to meet its intended purpose and the school language policies should be well structured. It is hoped the finding of this study would help MOEST, principals of schools and teachers in formulating school language policy that aim at enhancing students achievements in languages offered in the curriculum.

Twenty litres of milk was obtained from lactating Bunaji cows and clarified and then divided into fifteen parts of one litre such that each treatment had three replicates. Each part (1 L) was heated to a temperature of 50˚C with intermittent stirring. Thereafter, 20 g of coagulant (Calotropis procera) leaves juice was added and immediately, ascorbic acid was added at varying levels of 0 mg (T1), 50 mg (T2), 100 mg (T3), 150 mg (T4) and 200 mg (T5) and allowed to form curd. The whey was drained off to obtain the curd and refrigerated for fourteen (14) days. The cheeses obtained were investigated for proximate and microbial qualities at days 1, 7 and 14. Storage effect showed significant (p<0.05) reduction in carbohydrate and increase in moisture contents of the cheese. Treatment 1 had the highest moisture (35.52%) and ash (3.03%) values than cheeses enhanced with ascorbic acid. Treatment 4 was superior in fat (28.48%) and protein (22.73%) while carbohydrate concentration was at maximum (21.61%) in treatment 5. The highest Total viable bacteria count (TVBC), coliform count (TVCC), Lactobacillus count (TVLC), mold and yeast count (TVMYC) were quantified as 131.60 x 102, 63.10 x 102, 54.93 x 102 and 25.67 x 102 cfu respectively at day 14. Treatment influence showed significant (P<0.05) difference with treatment 3 having the highest TVBC (141.11x 102 cfu) and TVCC (67.94 x102 cfu) values respectively. Treatment and storage effects showed that T3 had the highest TVBC (147.33 x102 cfu) and TVCC (74.50 x102 cfu) at day 14. The TVMYC (26.83x102 cfu) was superior in T3 at day 1, while the TVLC was at its peak (61.67x 102 cfu) in T4 at day 14. Isolated bacteria were Micrococcus lactis, Lactobacillus spp, Bacillus subtilis, and the mold and yeast were Fusarium solani, Candida albican and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Conclusively, due to the higher concentration of carbohydrate in the refrigerated ascorbic acid enhanced cheese, it could serve as a source of energy for human, ......

A Case Report of Ultrasonographic “Endometrial Three Layer” Pattern: A Unique Finding in Ectopic Pregnancy Recent Perspective
Authors: Vardhan Dr. Aditya , Dr. Prabakaran Dr. Prabakaran
Published: April 2022

Although diagnostic ultrasonography is playing an increasing role in the investigation of the patient with suspected ectopic pregnancy (EP), it has significant limitations in the very early stages of pregnancy. By sonographically exploring the intrauterine echoes in 45 cases of documented EP, we demonstrated a unique pattern in 28 cases (62.2%). A well-defined spheric structure forming an endometrial three-layer (ETL) pattern was seen, probably formed by a midline echo between the two adjacent edematous proliferative layers of the endometrium, the latter resembling the late proliferative endometrium. In 17 patients with a proved EP (37.8%), the ETL pattern was not demonstrated. However, the ETL was not demonstrated in all 40 cases of early intrauterine pregnancy and all 50 cases of miscarriage. These findings suggest 100% specificity and a sensitivity of 62.2% for the ETL pattern in the diagnosis of EP.

INTRODUCCIÓN: Este estudio analiza los tratamientos disponibles para el Síndrome de Landau Kleffner (LKS) y evalúa sus potenciales beneficios, comparando la literatura con dos casos de pacientes diagnosticados de LKS tratados quirúrgicamente mediante la técnica adaptada de la transección subpial múltiple (MST).

MÉTODO: Se realizó una revisión del PUBMED. Los artículos seleccionados fueron los que tenían "DOI" o en caso de no tener "DOI", el artículo contenido en la información resumida del paciente. Se seleccionaron y organizaron 113 artículos para el análisis estadístico.

RESULTADOS: Los pacientes masculinos son los más afectados. La probabilidad de tener una regresión total es más probable en el tratamiento quirúrgico. El MST está indicado en los casos reportados debido a la necesidad de resección quirúrgica de las áreas afectadas para asegurar el mantenimiento de funciones cerebrales elocuentes.

CONCLUSIONES: La MST presenta resultados de mejoría significativa en la epilepsia y afasia de los pacientes, mostrándose como una técnica importante en el tratamiento del LKS.
