Published: December 2018

Raskin is a rice program for the poor. The Raskin program is one of the government's efforts to reduce the burden of expenditure on poor families. However, in its field practice, the decision to determine the criteria for receiving rice that has already taken place usually does not refer to the criteria of poor families, resulting in the distribution of rice being misdirected. To help these problems, a decision support system will be established to assist in the distribution of Raskin which is right on target with the Multi-Objective Optimization Method On The Base Of Ratio Analysis (Moora). Decision Support System (SPK) is a computer-based system combining models and data in an attempt to solve unstructured problems with user involvement through a user interface that is easy to use. This system is used for assist decision making in semitructured situations and unstructured situations, where no one knows exactly how decisions should be made. The Moora method is a multicriteria decision making method based on each appropriate criterion. The criteria used are: Job Type, Amount of Income, Amount of Dependent, House Condition, Home Ownership, Age.Keywords: Decision Support System, Moora, Raskin (Poor Rice)

SYNCHRONICITY: THE ROLE OF MIDBRAIN DOPAMINE IN GENERATING WHOLE BRAIN COHERENCE, A HYPOTHESIS
Authors: Beeler Jeff A , Dreyer Jakob Kisbye
Published: December 2018

Midbrain dopamine seems to play an outsized role in motivated behavior and learning. Widely associated withmediating reward-related behavior, decision-making and learning, dopamine continues to generatecontroversies in the field. While many studies and theories focus on what dopamine cells encode, the questionof how the midbrain derives the information it encodes is poorly understood and comparatively less addressed.Recent anatomical studies suggest greater diversity and complexity of afferent inputs than previouslyappreciated, requiring rethinking of prior models. Here we elaborate a hypothesis that construes midbraindopamine as implementing a Bayesian model selector in which individual dopamine cells sample afferentactivity across distributed brain substrates, comprising evidence to be evaluated on whether current distributedneural activity is 'important.' To effectively generate a temporally resolved phasic signal, a population ofdopamine cells must exhibit synchronous activity. We argue that synchronous activity across a population ofdopamine cells signals consensus, invigorating responding to recognized opportunities and facilitating furtherlearning. In framing our hypothesis, we shift from the question of how value is computed to the broaderquestion of how the brain achieves coherence across distributed, parallel processing. We posit the midbrain ispart of an 'axis of agency' in which the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia and midbrain form an axis mediatingcontrol, coherence and consensus, respectively.
The Warburg Dance Movements Library –the WADAMO Library. A validation study.

Published: December 2018

The Warburg Dance Movement Library is a validated set of 234 video clips of dance movements for empirical research in the fields of cognitive science and neuroscience of action perception, affect perception and neuroaesthetics. The library contains two categories of video clips of dance movement sequences. Of each pair, one version of the movement sequence is emotionally expressive (Clip a), while the other version of the same sequence (Clip b) is not expressive but as technically correct as the expressive version (Clip a). We sought to complement previous dance video stimuli libraries. Facial information, colour and music have been removed, and each clip has been faded in and out. We equalised stimulus length (6 seconds, 8 counts in dance theory), the dancers’ clothing and video background and included both male and female dancers, and we controlled for technical correctness of movement execution. The Warburg Dance Movement Library contains both contemporary and ballet movements. Two online surveys (N = 160) confirmed the classification into the two categories of expressivity. Four additional online surveys (N = 80) provided beauty and liking ratings for each clip. A correlation matrix illustrates all variables of this norming study (technical correctness, expressivity, beauty, liking, luminance, motion energy).All videos can be found here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTAVChpnnjhH019EOCWIrbg/featured
Is Canada Ready for Real Poverty Reduction through a Universal Guaranteed Basic Income? A Rejoinder to Kesselman’s “Can ‘Self-Financing’ Redeem the Basic Income Guarantee? Disincentives, Efficiency Costs, Tax Burdens, and Attitudes”
Authors: Stevens Harvey , Simpson Wayne
Published: December 2018

Rhys Kesselman’s thought-provoking response is part of an important and timely conversation about poverty reduction policy through some form of guaranteed basic income. Our rejoinder first addresses his general concerns about a basic income, which reflect an enduring policy debate over the past half century that has included social experimentation to examine work disincentives and other issues. We then respond to his specific concerns about our proposal for a Universal Guaranteed Basic Income (UGBI) through tax reforms that would convert existing nonrefundable tax credits to refundable credits. We illustrate how our proposed design balances low tax rates that are in line with the rates applied to current credits, prior social experimentation, and policy discussion with effective new income support that eradicates measured poverty for all family groups except non-elderly singles. In this regard, we provide new estimates to show the redistributive effect of our UGBI across family income deciles. Finally, we appraise his alternative proposals for a multifaceted approach to poverty reduction and find these established prescriptions for anti-poverty strategy wanting. We also point out that our UGBI can be implemented gradually by focusing on tax credit refundability in the future.

Bioactives in spices, and spice oleoresins: Phytochemicals and their beneficial effects in food preservation and health promotion
Authors: Shahidi Feriedoon , Hossain Abul
Published: December 2018

Spices have broadly been used as food flavoring and folk medicine since ancient times. Numerous phytochemicals have been identified in spices, namely thymol (ajowan and thyme), anethole (aniseed), piperine (black pepper), capsaicin (capsicum), cinnamaldehyde (cinnamon), eugenol (clove), linalool (coriander), sabinene (curry leaf), limonene (dill seed), estragole (fennel seed), allicin (garlic), gingerol (ginger), safranal (saffron), and curcumin (turmeric), among others. The antioxidants in spices are very effective and also render anti-mutagenic, cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. Apart from their antioxidant efficacy, spices, particularly their essential oils possess strong antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, yeasts, and microbial toxins synthesis. In this contribution, a summary of the most relevant and recent findings on phytochemical composition and antioxidant properties of spices has been compiled and discussed. The content of phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins, glycosides, steroids, and terpenoids in different spices are summarized. In addition, the beneficial effects of spices in food preservation and in health promotion and disease risk reduction are briefly described.
‘They Tried To Bury Us; They Didn’t Know We Were Seeds’
Authors: Harris Sarah D.
Published: December 2018

In using metaphors including trees, food, land and house to invoke the power
of intergenerational memory, Paco Roca’s La casa (2015) shifts a national
obsession with memory to an intimate scale. The book’s intimacy invites
reconsideration of notions of ‘giving voice’ and ‘sites of memory’ that several
other recent and groundbreaking Spanish comics have explored. This article
situates the visual and verbal metaphors in La casa within the larger context
of comics and memory, and the consistent attention to memory in Roca’s
oeuvre. The characters’ discussions about tending to the land they have
inherited, especially via Roca’s impeccably sophisticated use of the medium,
demand that we tend to a new generation taking up its ancestors’ struggles,
including the silent struggles of a repressed (or buried) generation.
An Interview with Paco Roca
Authors: Claudio Esther
Published: December 2018

Paco Roca (b. 1969, Valencia) creates stories that tackle the universal
through the local. He examines historic and social conflicts through the
everyday experiences of his characters, whom he treats with affection, detail
and respect. His works explore personal concerns and relationships without
falling into melodrama, always looking for a balanced and sober style. Arguably,
the most successful aspect of his work is the harmonious, beautiful
drawing, which makes it accessible and appealing to a wide audience. As
is common in today’s graphic novel, his stories feature losers: characters
whose struggle is finally defeated by greater forces but whose trajectory tells
us about dignity, friendship and courage. In this interview, we talk about
his major graphic novels, and we are given access to his methods of work.
Introduction
Authors: Vinokurova Uliana
Published: December 2018

In this issue of Sibirica scholars from Sakha (Yakutia), Buryatia, Tuva,
and Khakassiia present their research with a new paradigm in mind:
an indigenous methodology facilitated and represented by indigenous
peoples in Siberia. This methodology is aimed at bringing together the
thinking, experiences, interpretations and interests of the indigenous
peoples in cultural anthropology. The indigenous scholars whose work
is published in this issue understand their own rich cultural, historical,
and intellectual legacy, as well as its contemporary potential. These
scholars do not only study their own cultures but also live within
the communities, sharing the interests and anxieties of their people.
This is why indigenous scholars often are political and social activists
who speak on behalf of their own people. Many urgent issues present
concerns for the indigenous peoples of Siberia, including
industrial development and sustainability, modern challenges that affect cultures
in the context of globalization, education and schooling, language
development and preservation, and, perhaps most important,
ecological transformations that affect the sensitive environments of Siberia.
Tackling such significant issues requires partnership and cooperation
between scholars from the West and indigenous scholars in their
home countries.

The Buddhist Book Culture of the Average Person and Buryat Identity
Authors: Bazarov Andrei
Published: December 2018

This article examines the book culture of the Buryat
Buddhists of the Southern Siberia. Based on social archaeographic
studies, the article posits a link between local book culture and the
stable identity of Buryat Buddhist. Defining Buryat Buddhist identity
based on an analysis of different aspects of their worldview, cultural
life, and historical past, this article reveals how Buddhist book culture
and home life are the most important aspects in the formation
of local identity. The analysis confirms that a radical change in the
mechanism of the transfer of tradition, social changes, and the economic
crisis led to the transformation of the vector of development
in the traditional book culture of the Buryats, highlighting that the
main priority is not the religious but the ethnic component.

Authors: Tunia Anna
Published: December 2018

Przedmiotem artykułu jest ukazanie charakteru i katalogu zadań wykonywanych przez podmioty należące do kościołów i innych związków wyznaniowych w zakresie administracji stanu cywilnego. W związku z tym  w pierwszej części artykułu wyjaśnione zostały podstawowe pojęcia stosowane w publikacji, a następnie wskazany został krąg podmiotów administrujących w systemie administracji stanu cywilnego. Dokonana została analiza zadań, jakie realizowane są przez podmioty wyznaniowe (duchownych) jako podmioty wykonujące określone zadania z zakresu administracji stanu cywilnego. Zadania te sprowadzają się do wykonywania określonych czynności związanych z zawarciem i rejestracją małżeństwa w trybie określonym w kodeksie rodzinnym i opiekuńczym. Są to zadania wykonywane w sytuacjach zwyczajnych oraz w przypadkach nadzwyczajnych tj. w razie niebezpieczeństwa grożącego bezpośrednio życiu jednej ze stron zawierających małżeństwo. W konkluzji rozważań stwierdzono, że funkcje, jakie w toku procedury zawarcia małżeństwa w trybie art. 1 § 2 k.r.o. sprawuje duchowny mają charakter zadań zleconych z zakresu administracji publicznej. Podstawę do ich wykonania stanowią odpowiednie przepisy prawa państwowego. W toku tych czynności duchowny działa nie we własnym imieniu, ale jako organ osoby prawnej, którą jest określona jednostka organizacyjna kościoła lub innego związku wyznaniowego (np. parafia). Wykonując te czynności duchowny jest podmiotem administrującym, który realizuje tę funkcję w imieniu kościoła lub innego związku wyznaniowego uprawnionego do stosowania wyznaniowej formy zawarcia małżeństwa na podstawie odpowiednich przepisów prawa.

Normal form method in search for periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations. Case of the fourth order
Authors: Edneral V. F. , Timofeevskaya O. D.
Published: December 2018

Introduction:The method of resonant normal form is based on reducing a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations to a simpler form, easier to explore. Moreover, for a number of autonomous nonlinear problems, it is possible to obtain explicit formulas which approximate numerical calculations of families of their periodic solutions. Replacing numerical calculations with their precalculated formulas leads to significant savings in computational time. Similar calculations were made earlier, but their accuracy was insufficient, and their complexity was very high.Purpose:Application of the resonant normal form method and a software package developed for these purposes to fourth-order systems in order to increase the calculation speed.Results:It has been shown that with the help of a single algorithm it is possible to study equations of high orders (4th and higher). Comparing the tabulation of the obtained formulas with the numerical solutions of the corresponding equations shows good quantitative agreement. Moreover, the speed of calculation by prepared approximating formulas is orders of magnitude greater than the numerical calculation speed. The obtained approximations can also be successfully applied to unstable solutions. For example, in the Henon — Heyles system, periodic solutions are surrounded by chaotic solutions and, when numerically integrated, the algorithms are often unstable on them.Practical relevance:The developed approach can be used in the simulation of physical and biological systems.
Background extraction method for analysis of natural images captured by camera traps
Authors: Favorskaya M. N. , Buryachenko V. V.
Published: December 2018

Introduction:Automatic detection of animals, particularly birds, on images captured in the wild by camera traps remains an unsolved task due to the shooting and weather conditions. Such observations generate thousands or millions of images which are impossible to analyze manually. Wildlife sanctuaries and national parks normally use cheap camera traps. Their low quality images require careful multifold processing prior to the recognition of animal species.Purpose:Developing a background extraction method based on Gaussian mixture model in order to locate an object of interest under any time/season/meteorological conditions.Results:We propose a background extraction method based on a modified Gaussian mixture model. The modification uses truncated pixel values (in low bites) to decrease the dependence on the illumination changes or shadows. After that, binary masks are created and processed instead of real intensity values. The proposed method is aimed for background estimation of natural scenes in wildlife sanctuaries and national parks. Structural elements (trunks of growing and/or fallen trees) are considered slowly changeable during the seasons, while other textured areas are simulated by texture patterns corresponding to the current season. Such an approach provides a compact background model of a scene. Also, we consider the influence of the time/season/meteorological attributes o f a scene with respect to its restoration ability. The method was tested using a rich dataset of natural images obtained on the territory of Ergaki wildlife sanctuary in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia.Practical relevance:The application of the modified Gaussian mixture model provides an accuracy of object detection as high as 79-83% in the daytime and 60-69% at night, under acceptable meteorological conditions. When the meteorological conditions are bad, the accuracy is 5-8% lower.

Published: December 2018

Introduction:The goal of this issue is the analysis of evolution of the current and novel wireless networks, from second generation (2D) to fifth generation (5G), as well as changes in technologies and their corresponding theoretical background and protocols — from Bluetooth, WLAN, WiFi and WiMAX to LTE, OFDM/OFDMA, MIMO and LTE/MIMO advanced technologies with new hierarchy of cellular maps design — femto/plco/mlcro/macro.Methods:We use new theoretical frameworks for description of the advanced technologies, such as multicarrier diversity technique, OFDM and OFDM novel approach, MIMO aspects description based on multi-beam antennas approach, various cellular maps design based on a new algorithms offemto/pico/micro/macrocell deployment, and a new methodology of a new MIMO/LTEsystem integration based on multi-beam antennas.Results:We have created a new methodology of multi-carrier diversity description for novel multiple-access networks, of usage of OFDM/OFDMA modulation to obey inter-user and inter-symbol interference in multiple-access networks, of how to obey the multiplicative noises occurring in the multiple-access wireless networks, caused by multi-ray phenomena, and finally, of how to overcome propagation effects occurring in the terrestrial communication links by use combination of MIMO and LTE technologies based on multi-beam antennas. For these purposes we present new stochastic approach that accounts for the terrain features, such as buildings' overlay profile, buildings' density around the base station and each user antennas, and so forth. These parameters allow us to estimate for each situation occurs at the built-up terrain area the effects of fading, as a source of multiplicative noise.Practical relevance:New methodology of how to estimate effects of multiplicative noise, inter-user and inter-symbol interference, occurring in the terrestrial wireless networks, allows us to predict a-priory practical aspects of the current and new multiple-access wireless communication networks, such as: the users' capacity and user's links spectral efficiency for various configurations of cells deployment — femto, pico, micro, and macro, as well as the novel MIMO/LTEsystem configuration for future networks of 4thand 5thgeneration deployment.

Published: December 2018

BACKGROUND:

Red blood cells (RBC) are exposed to varying shear stress while traversing the circulatory system; this shear initiates RBC-derived nitric oxide (NO) production.

OBJECTIVE:

The current study investigated the effect of varying shear stress dose on RBC-derived NO production.

METHODS:

Separated RBC were prepared with the molecular probe, diamino-fluoreoscein diacetate, for fluorometric detection of NO. Prepared RBC were exposed to discrete magnitudes of shear stress (1–100 Pa), and intracellular and extracellular fluorescence was quantified via fluorescence microscopy at baseline (0 min) and discrete time-points (1–30 min).

RESULTS:

Intracellular RBC-derived NO fluorescence was significantly increased ( p < 0.05) following shear stress exposure when compared to baseline at: i) 1 min–100 Pa; ii) 5 min–1, 5 Pa; iii) 15 min–1, 5, 35 Pa; iv) 30 min–35 Pa. Extracellular RBC-derived NO fluorescence was significantly increased ( p < 0.05) following shear stress exposure when compared to baseline at: i) 5 min – 100 Pa; ii) 15 min–100 Pa; iii) 30 min–40, 100 Pa.

CONCLUSIONS:

These data indicate that: i) a dose-response exists for the RBC-derived production of NO via shear stress; and ii) exposure to supra-physiological shear stress allows for the leakage of RBC intracellular contents (e.g., RBC-derived NO).
Role of Post-Transcriptional Control of Calpain by miR-124-3p in the Development of Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease prevalent in aged people, clinically characterized by progressive memory loss, behavioral and learning dysfunction, and cognitive deficits. The pathogenesis of AD is hallmarked by formation of amyloid-β peptide aggregates (Aβ) and intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), which are induced by hyperphosphorylation of amyloid-β protein precursor and tau protein, respectively. The hyperphosphorylation is controlled by cyclin-dependent kinase-5 (CDK5), the aberrant activation of which is mediated by calpain (CAPN)-induced cleavage of p35 into p25. However, the regulation of CAPN in AD remains largely unknown. Here, we studied the post-transcriptional control of CAPN1 by microRNAs (miRNAs) in the setting of AD. We found that miR-124-3p, previously reported as a miRNA that was downregulated in AD, was a CAPN1-targeting miRNA that functionally inhibited the protein translation of CAPN1 in a human neural cell line, HCN-2. In vitro, transfection with miR-124-3p reduced the levels of CAPN1 protein, the cleavage of p35 into p25, and cell apoptosis dose-dependently in HCN-2 cells. Moreover, a significant inverse correlation was detected between the levels of miR-124-3p and CAPN1 in AD specimens. Furthermore, intracranial injection of adeno-associated virus expressing miR-124-3p into APP/PS1-AD mice significantly reduced Aβ deposition and significantly improved the AD-mouse behavior in the social recognition test and plus-maze discriminative avoidance task. Together, our data suggest that post-transcriptional control of calpain by miR-124-3p plays an essential role in the development of AD.
Design of a linear Halbach magnetic damper

Published: December 2018

Ultra-fast circuit breakers are operated with fast electromagnetic actuators. They can generate a sufficient impulse force to swiftly open electrical contacts in a couple of milliseconds. Opening of the contacts with high velocities implies a need for a timely and controllable damping. An efficient damping mechanism then is crucial to attain an appropriate actuation performance and secure a long lifetime. In this paper a finite element model of a Halbach magnet array based magnetic damper and a corresponding experimental prototype is described. A parametric study is performed to understand the effect of load mass and incoming velocities. It was found that the magnetic field modulation plays an important role on the damping performance. A uniform and high radial component of the magnetic flux density is necessary in order to achieve high damping force. The radial magnetic field can be controlled via thickness and magnetization direction of the ring magnets that are used to create the Halbach magnet array.

This paper describes eddy current magnetic signature (EC-MS) method that can evaluate small plastic deformation in carbon steels with high accuracy. In EC-MS method, an incremental magnetic field is superimposed on a magnetization field, and the directions of the incremental field to the magnetization field changes, depending on experimental setups. The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of the measurement conditions on experimental results of EC-MS method. Tensile test specimens are measured by EC-MS method with different directions of the incremental field parallel and perpendicular to the magnetization one. Furthermore, the dependence on the static/quasi-static magnetization field is discussed comparing a continuous waveform of the magnetization field with a stepwise one.
Computation of two-fluid flowing equilibrium of spherical torus plasma using multi-grid method
Authors: Kanki Takashi , Nagata Masayoshi
Published: December 2018

Two-fluid (ions and electrons) flowing equilibrium configurations of spherical torus plasma are numerically determined by using the multi-grid method. The axisymmetric equilibrium equations consist of a pair of second-order partial differential equations for the magnetic (electron) and ion stream functions, and Bernoulli equations for the density. It is found from the numerical results that the multi-grid method with the damped Jacobi method in the smoothing step is effective for solving these equations with numerical stability, high accuracy, and high speed.
The Emerging Evidence of the Parkinson Pandemic

Neurological disorders are now the leading source of disability globally, and the fastest growing neurological disorder in the world is Parkinson disease. From 1990 to 2015, the number of people with Parkinson disease doubled to over 6 million. Driven principally by aging, this number is projected to double again to over 12 million by 2040. Additional factors, including increasing longevity, declining smoking rates, and increasing industrialization, could raise the burden to over 17 million. For most of human history, Parkinson has been a rare disorder. However, demography and the by-products of industrialization have now created a Parkinson pandemic that will require heightened activism, focused planning, and novel approaches.
