A Simulation of Covid-19 Transmission until the Steady State Using Graph Algorithm
Authors: Baba Toshinari
Published: May 2022

This research computes the average days to reach the steady state of COVID-19 infection by repeated simulation of human interactions using a bi-directed graph. It examines the effect of one infected person on a community comprising groups of people who interacts daily with each other such as school, commuter train, family, etc. Randomization is used to determine group structure and a bi-directed graph models the network of frequently interacting people. Once a person is infected, the incubation period is 5 days, and this person possibly infects other people for the next 6 days. A randomization distribution determines whether each person directly linked to an already infected person will be infected, or not. The effective reproduction number of the actual data is used in the study. Finally, this study examines how many days are required to reach the steady state where a new infected person is not observed any more. The study highlights number of days at the infections peak and how many days are required to reach the steady state. Future research would consider multiple starting points, variants, ages, genders, ethnicities, seasons, and regions. Furthermore, comparison with results of AI machine learning will be examined.
German Immigrants from the USSR in the Rural Sector of the Economy of the Third Reich at the Final Stage of the Second World War
Authors:   М. S. Hrushevsky Institute of Ukrainian Archeography and Source Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Martynenko Volodymyr
Published: May 2022

Based on the involvement of a wide range of archival sources, the article reveals the peculiarities of German immigrants’ situation from the USSR involved in the rural sector of the economy of Nazi Germany at the final stage of the Second World War. Throughout the fall of 1943 – spring 1944, from the occupied Ukrainian regions by the authorities of Nazi Germany, about 350,000 ethnic Germans were evacuated. The bulk of the refugees were resettled on the territory of the imperial region of Warthegau, which included most of the annexed western Polish lands. This decision was not due to the region’s labor force’s objective needs but by the geopolitical plans of the Nazi leadership. In the foreseeable future, German colonists from the USSR were assigned the role of local settlers, contributing to the further Germanization of the conquered territories. As part of an extensive propaganda campaign, the local Nazi administration tried to present their arrival as a natural return to their historical homeland. Due to the lack of free land resources, most of the settlers were prepared for farm laborers’ role in the rural sector during the war. However, it was almost impossible to fully employ the new German contingent even as rural workers without large-scale deportations of the Polish population (this scenario threatened to turn into too serious not only economic but also political consequences). Another obstacle was the harsh pragmatism of many employers (primarily managers of large estates), who often sabotaged the Warthegau administration’s instructions regarding the recruitment and preferences of Soviet Germans. As a result, most migrants’ social and economic situation, despite the declared privileges, did not undergo any significant changes.
Young Family in Belarus: Ethnopedagogical Traditions in Conditions of Post-soviet Everyday Life (End of XX – Beginning of XXI Century)
Authors:   Belarusian State University, Kalachova Iryna
Published: May 2022

The article examines some trends in the construction of post-Soviet everyday life on the example of a young family’s functioning in Belarus. Structural changes are shown regarding children, intrafamily contacts at the initial stage of life together, parenting and grandparents’ upbringing of children, and the influence of new means of communication on the life of new generations. Attention is focused on the inclusion of national traditions in the life of a young family, their actualization at the most important stages of family life. The author points to the formation of new social practices of the functioning of a family with three, four or more children, thus the author argues that a large modern Belarusian family is a sign of the health of the Belarusian nation, its adherence to fundamental national principles and traditions. At the same time, the author of the article emphasizes that the construction of everyday life is carried out not only through systemic support from outside. The author notes that the presentation of a modern large family is not limited only to the attitude towards its support and accompaniment by state institutions. A large young family is a self-sufficient social institution. She actively participates in creating her own image, the core of which is the traditions of the Belarusian people. As a successor to the experience of previous generations, on the one hand, she constantly strives to comprehend the national tradition, the positive lessons of folk pedagogy of upbringing, recorded in folklore sources, narratives, family stories, legends, traditions, fairy tales, and on the other, forms new everyday practices. However, pedagogical education and preparation for a «meeting» with their children in the new era – the XXI century – still remains an important area of work with young parents.

Authors:   Department of Physics, University of Mohamed Premier, Oujda, Morocco, Said Sara , Es-salhi Abdenacer , abdelmoumen Kaabal , Elouaham Samir
Published: May 2022

This paper presents a new technique that resides on the use of electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structures under a half-wave dipole antenna suitable for wireless communication systems. The implementation of the EBG electromagnetic band gap structures and superstrate creates a new frequency descent of half-wave dipole antenna of 73 ohms, simultaneously we are capable to operating at 2.6 and 3.5 GHz bands with only one antenna and also enhances its performance (gain, directivity), and improve the antenna efficiency. This is manifested by a very low dipole antenna return loss, besides improving the efficiency of the radiation pattern, by using the EBG structure in the proposed configuration. This technique also allows to the low profile antenna (26% reduction) contribution for cell phones. The dipole antenna initially operates at a frequency range of 3.5 GHz, but with the introduction of the EBG electromagnetic band gap structures, it resonates in two frequency of sub-6 GHz 5G bands 3.5 GHz and 2.6 GHz, which is well suited for 5G mobile applications. The design parameters of the antenna were optimized.

Authors: Zahrulswendar Indra Hafit , Amrianto Andika Dwi , Ansori Muhammad Anwar
Published: May 2022

Perkembangan teknologi dan informasi dari waktu kewaktu banyak membawa kemudahan diberbagai aspek kehidupan bermasyarakat. Kemudahan tersebut dapat kita rasakan dengan hilangnya batas teritorial antar individu bahkan antar negara dalam melakukan interaksi. Jika dahulu untuk dapat  berkomunikasi diperlukan sebuah pertemuan, maka saat ini untuk berkomunikasi dengan siapapun hanya diperlukan satu alat telepon genggam sehingga segalanya terlihat semakin mudah dan dekat. Akan tetapi kemudahan yang ditawarkan tersebut pada faktanya tidak lepas dari akses negatif seperti misalnya potensi tindak pidana penipuan melalui panggilan seluler. Perubahan yang bersifat disrupsi ini pada akhirnya pasti memaksa hukum agar dapat terus mengikuti dan menyesuaikan dengan perkembangan zaman agar tetap dapat memberikan pengayoman serta perlindungan terhadap masyarakat. Akan tetapi hingga saat ini hukum belum sepenuhnya memberikan perlindungan kepada masyarakat. Dari permasalahan tersebut penulis kemudian mengambil rumusan masalah yakni bagaimana pengaturan tindak pidana penipuan melalui sarana panggilan suara dari telepon seluler?, Bagaimana penegakan hukum tindak pidana penipuan melalui sarana panggilan suara dari telepon seluler? Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian Normatif yakni dengan pendekatan masalah dengan melihat, menelaah dan menginterpretasikan hal-hal yang bersifat teoritis yang menyangkut asas-asas hukum yang berupa konsepsi, peraturan perundang-undangan, dan doktrin hukum. Hasil dari penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa tindak pidana penipuan melalui siber atau telefon seluler  secara khusus memang telah diatur dalam Undang-undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2008 tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik. Akan tetapi perlindungan tersebut hanya diberikan kepada seseorang yang berposisi sebagai konsumen. Sedangkan terhadap seseorang yang berposisi sebagai pelaku usaha atau mitra usaha, atau seorang lain yang menjadi korban penipuan melalui telepon seluler belum dijamin hak perlindungan hukumnya karena ganjalan frasa Konsumen.

Authors: Agussari Rosnia , Gozali Djoni S , Faishal Achmad
Published: May 2022

Penyelesaian perkara pidana berdasarkan keadilan restoratif pada dasarnya di selesaikan di kantor polisi dengan mengedepankan perdamaian antara pihak pelaku pidana dan pihak korban. Apabila tercapai suatu perdamaian maka hukum pidana terhenti, melainkan di lanjutkan dengan hukum perdata yang berkaitan dengan perjanjian perdamaian. Perjanjian perdamaian di kantor polisi berupa bentuk tanggung jawab pelaku pidana seperti mengembalikan barang, mengganti kerugian, menggantikan biaya yang ditimbulkan dari akibat Tindak Pidana serta mengganti kerusakan yang ditimbulkan akibat Tindak Pidana dengan dibuktikan dengan surat kesepakatan perdamaian oleh petugas kepolisian. Adapun upaya para pihak dalam mencari keadilan serta perlindungan hak dan kewajiban apabila terjadi wanprestasi terhadap perjanjian perdamaian tersebut, para pihak dapat meminta notaris untuk membuat akta perdamaian dan akta tambahan lainnya yang dianggap melindungi pihak korban untuk memperoleh haknya kembali. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum normatif yang bersifat preskriptif analitis. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Penelitian ini akan membahas mengenai kedudukan akta perdamaian serta kewenangan notaris dalam penanganan perkara pidana berdasarkan keadilan restoratif demi mencapai keadilan dan perlindungan hukum bagi para pihak yang membuat perjanjian perdamaian.

This procedural knowledge, which consists of a successive set of steps for achieving a specific goal, is called good practice. Extracting and formalizing these good practices is a major asset in the field of artificial intelligence. In this context we present a new method for formalizing good practices extracted from the web, and extracting the best practice for a given request by applying the techniques of artificial learning and text summary on data graphs.
Differentiating Between COVID-19 and Tuberculosis Using Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing
Authors: Pholo Moanda Diana , Hamam Yskandar , Khalaf Abdel Baset , Du Chunling
Published: May 2022

Over 10 million people around the world are affected by tuberculosis (TB) every year, making it a major global health concern. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, TB services in many countries have been temporarily disrupted, leading to a potential delay in the diagnosis of TB cases and many cases going under the radar. Since both diseases sometimes present similarly and generally affect the lungs, there is also a risk of misdiagnosis. This study aims to analyse the differences between COVID-19 and TB in different patients, as a first step in the creation of a TB screening tool. 180 COVID-19 and 215 TB case reports were collected from ScienceDirect. Using Natural Language Processing tools, the patient’s age, gender, and symptoms were extracted from each report. Tree-based machine learning algorithms were then used to classify each case report as belonging to either disease. Overall, the cases included 252 male and 117 female patients, with 26 cases not reporting the patient’s sex. The patients’ ages ranged from 0 to 95 years old, with a median age of 41.5. There were 33 cases with missing age values. The most frequent symptom in the TB cases was weight loss while most COVID-19 cases listed fever as a symptom. Of all algorithms implemented, XGBoost performed best in terms of ROC AUC (86.9 %) and F1-score macro (78%). The trained model is a good starting point, which can be used by medical staff to aid in referring potential TB patients in a timely manner. This could reduce the delay in TB diagnosis as well as the TB death toll, especially in highly infected countries.
Searching for Predictors of Safe Driving Behaviour as an Important Activity in Achieving an Integrated Traffic System. Research on the Behavioural Criterion of the Psychometric Test Validity for Drivers
Authors: Biela Adam , Wontorczyk Antoni , Gorbaniuk Oleg
Published: May 2022

Safety in road traffic as a system in which there are dynamic interactions between its different users depends on how integrated it is. In this system, drivers are a favoured group of users. Unfortunately they are also the most dangerous group, as research shows. Studying the causes of dangerous driving behaviour is still important.

The paper aims to present the psychometric methodology to define the diagnostic and prognostic validity of some psychometric tests used by transport psychologists. Our statistical analysis included the four experimental groups of professional drivers with motor vehicle accident and one control group of drivers whose road performance had no motor vehicle accident recordings.

The novelty of the study presented here is in linking the psychometric tests outcomes of professional road drivers (city bus drivers, school bus drivers, taxi drivers, ambulance drivers, fire trucks drivers, police drivers, military vehicle

drivers, special vehicle drivers etc.) and their behavioral safety performance on public roads (i.e. causing road accidents, road collisions, participating in accidents but not causing it, and participating in road collision but not causing it) – which aims to indicate the diagnostic and prognostic validity of these tests for drivers.

Discriminatory analysis based on Fisher ĝ-function was used to find discrepancies between the specific test outcomes of the road drivers in the control group and the four risky behaviour groups. The identified discrepancies are interpreted in terms of equivalence between the diagnostic and prognostic validity of the taken into consideration psychometric tools used by psychologists for diagnosing road drivers.
Religiosity, Personality and Maturity
Authors: Noworol Anna M. , Głaz Stanisław
Published: May 2022

Religiosity is something available to every person, therefore it might be corelated with personality and maturity; this, however, should not be said about causality. This article shows that no matter what aspects of religiosity are studied, religiosity is always more than personality, hence the findings of many authors yield conflicting results. The research presented here serves to explain this problem from the perspective of examining the relationship between religiosity and personality and pseudo-religiosity and maturity. In the first study, Polish university students who declared to be believers and members of the Roman Catholic Church were examined using the Personality Inventory (NEO-FFI) and Scale of Personal Religiosity in order to investigate a relationship between some aspects of religiosity and personal traits. On the other hand, a second study shows that most members of charismatic groups, identified as pseudo-religious, exhibit personality immaturity. In this study pseudo-religious individuals were examined using the Personality Maturity Questionnaire (DoM) based on the Maslow Theory of Personality Maturity.

Mulheres sem rosto: o corpo feminino e a violência em cartazes de filmes
Authors: Wazlawick Muller Janaina , Schmidt Saraí Patricia
Published: May 2022

Este estudo versa acerca das interpretações do corpo feminino em cartazes de filmes cujas tramas alicerçam-se na violência sexual contra mulheres: “120 dias de Sodoma” (1975), “A Vingança de Jennifer” (1978) e “Irreversível” (2002). Objetiva-se identificar construções heteronormativas nos cartazes e os vínculos entre violência e desejo. A base teórica designa-se pela abordagem de Yuri Lótman (1978, 1996, 1998) para a Semiótica da Cultura, Stuart Hall (2016) na intersecção com os Estudos Culturais, Douglas Kellner (2001) referindo-se à influência midiática na construção dos sujeitos, e Judith Butler (2001, 2010), Michelle Perrot (2005, 2007) e Ann E. Kaplan (1995) para a heteronormatividade e o corpo feminino representado no cinema. Nos resultados da análise, apontou-se que os cartazes enunciam diretrizes que conectam o corpo feminino, ainda que imerso na violência, ao desejo e sensualidade.
Uma reflexão sobre pós-colonialidade, decolonização e museus virtuais. O caso do Museu Virtual da Lusofonia
Authors: Sousa Vítor de , Capoano Edson , Costa Pedro Daniel Rodrigues , Máximo Pimenta Carlos Alberto
Published: May 2022

O artigo trata de questionamentos sobre políticas culturais e formas de musealização e como tais questões se adaptam ao processo de virtualização dos museus, cuja intermediação dos bens simbólicos e culturais torna mais complexa a compreensão do fenômeno. Como referencial teórico, utiliza-se da pós-colonialidade e decolonialidade, que apontam como o discurso originado nos impérios coloniais deve ser superado, e a interculturalidade, com a qual se desmonta os discursos de ódio e favorece as trocas simbólicas efetivas entre o Norte e o Sul globais. Finalmente, traz-se considerações sobre consumo cultural circunscrito aos espaços museológicos, especificamente em museus virtuais, tendo como caso de estudo o Museu Virtual da Lusofonia (MVL), ambiente organizado segundo conceito pós-colonial da lusofonia, e que recentemente compõe um dos museus do Google Arts & Culture.

Published: May 2022

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie przykładowych trudności, jakie mogą się wiązać z tłumaczeniem tekstu popularnonaukowego o tematyce historycznej oraz podanie powodów, dla których tego rodzaju tekst może zasługiwać na uwagę polskich czytelników. Zakładam, że samo tłumaczenie może pełnić funkcję edukacyjną jako przykładowy tekst wykorzystywany w szkoleniu z doskonalenia warsztatu z zakresu przekładu osób przygotowujących się do pracy w zawodzie tłumacza pisemnego. Sam zaś tekst udostępniony polskiemu czytelnikowi może stanowić źródło informacji z zakresu historii społecznej, a dokładnie badań nad historią kobiet w epoce wiktoriańskiej. Autorką tekstu o ideałach kobiecości w wiktoriańskiej Brytanii jest Lynn Abrams. Artykuł historyczki wykładającej obecnie na Uniwersytecie w Glasgow ukazał się w 2001 roku na stronie internetowej BBC poświęconej popularyzowaniu wiedzy o historii Wielkiej Brytanii. Zamierzam rozpowszechnić ten tekst jako źródło wiedzy o społecznych, kulturowych i politycznych warunkach życia kobiet w epoce wiktoriańskiej w czasopiśmie popularnonaukowym zajmującym się tematyką historii społecznej lub historii gender.
Praca w literaturze od antyku po koniec XVII wieku — wybrane ujęcia

The purpose of the study is to capture the richness of work forms described in literature from Antiquity to the end of the 17th century. The dominant feature is the presentation of a work image in selected Old Polish works. Significant for the deliberations is the division verbalized by Sebastian Fabian Klonowic, who, following the ancient authorities, defined what activities can the nobility deal with and which of them did not belong to its state ethos. The study was divided into three parts. The first presents selected works constituting the state of researches on the issue. Second part presents chosen examples of descriptions and opinions about the topic of work derived from the Bible, mythology and the Classical Literature (especially works od Hesiod, Virgil and Horace). Third part brings closer the images of work portrayed in Polish literature of the Renaissance and the Baroque. Especially there are works connected with a life of nobleman-landowner (landlord), diplomat, peasant and shepherd, slave, soldier, rafter, sailor, miner, steelworker as well as a writer. The study brings closer also chosen examples of theoretical considerations about the topic of work by mainly Renaissance thinkers. The topic of work is present in the Old Polish writings representing various literary forms, as well as literary genres, were created often under the influence of the authority of the ancient literature. Writers once show strict division of performers and activities motivated by their state affiliation, elsewhere the cooperation of the representatives of various states in a realization of common objective. The study also perceives the work of a slave functioning in the Osman Empire in conjunction with the position and difficulty of the serf peasant.

Published: May 2022

Background: Watermelon is an important cucurbit with rich genetic diversity. A great proportion of this diversity remains largely unexploited in terms of mineral nutrient composition. Methods: The contents of eight different mineral nutrients were determined in eighty diverse genotypes. D2 statistics and principal component analysis were used to cluster genotypes and understand the underlying variations in mineral nutrient compositions of watermelon genotypes. Result: Large variations in the content of many mineral contents such as Na, K and Zn were recorded. D2 analysis placed the eighty watermelon genotypes into 8 distinct clusters. Cluster I comprised of maximum number of genotypes (68) followed by Cluster II (6). All other 6 clusters consisted of 1 genotype each. Among 8 clusters, cluster II showed highest intra cluster distance (342.14) followed by cluster I (279.07), whereas minimum intra cluster distance recorded in cluster III, cluster IV, cluster V, cluster VI, cluster VII and cluster VIII (0.00). Based on inter-cluster distance the maximum diversity was observed between clusters VIII and VI (3234.85). D2 statistics showed that potassium content contributed highest (25%) to divergence followed by magnesium content (22.7%) and manganese content (11%). Principal component analysis revealed that the first two principal components (PCs) together controlled 52.92% of total variability. Based on higher genetic distance among clusters and higher mean value of genotypes for nutritional traits, DWM 164, DWM 129, DWM 165, DWM 115, DWM 142, DWM 117, DWM 45, DWM 196 and DWM 12 could be exploited in breeding programme as potential donors for developing nutrient- rich watermelon varieties/hybrids.
Variety and Seeding Time Influence on Flowering Characteristics and Trichodesmine Content in Sunn Hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.)

Published: May 2022

Background: Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) is an important annual legume used as green manure. It contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which are apparently effective in suppressing nematodes. It is pertinent to know the growth stage during which pyrrolizidine alkaloid concentrations become higher. Methods: The period of days necessary for flowering, pod growth and the concentrations of one pyrrolizidine alkaloid in pods at different stages in five sunn hemp cultivars with May and July seeding were investigated. Result: Findings indicated that flowering of the two cultivars occurred later than the others, especially for May seeding. The pods grew to 20 mm length in 6-11 days from flowering. Then the pods grew to maximum size (40 mm length) in only few days. A main pyrrolizidine alkaloid in sunn hemp seed, trichodesmine, increases as pod size grow; then it increases considerably as pod mature. However, it in matured pod hull contains similar values of whole immature pod. These results demonstrate that both day-neutral and short-day cultivars with July seeding shorten the days to first flower and indicate that cutting after 10 days from first flowering is effective for increasing pyrrolizidine alkaloid concentration.
Farm profit maximizing food crops and tree combination in Mufindi district: A multi-period programming approach

Published: May 2022

Optimal agricultural land use is vital for improved productivity, maximized profitability, and efficient utilization of resources. The study aimed to determine the optimal combination that maximizes profit from the production of food crops and trees. A multi-period profit maximization programming model was used. The study used both primary and secondary data. Primary data involved the collection of information on average crop/tree prices and production costs through the focus group discussion and key informants such as VEO and other village leaders.  Secondary data was collected from the National sample census of agriculture 2007/08, Iringa region report.  From the study findings, it can be concluded that the initial allocation done by farmers was not optimal. Moreover, the study found capital and land were binding. Therefore, the government should promote low-interest credit to farmers to enable them to increase their capital base and also rent more land to increase profit.

Authors: Nikundiwe Emmanuel  Abraham
Published: May 2022

The paper describes the challenges of SMEs in the adoption of e-commerce technology in Tanzania. Dar es Salaam city-Ilala Municipal was chosen as a case study because SMEs found in Dar es Salaam are more likely to be using e-commerce since Dar es Salaam is among regions where most SMEs are connected to the internet are found in Tanzania. The researcher collected data from 30 SMEs found in Ilala Municipality. The data collected were then subjected to analysis using Quantitative methods and content analysis. Frequency and percentage were used in data presentation, where questions on technical challenges, Technological challenges, and management attitudes were answered. The results indicate that there are Technical, technological challenges, and management reasons that limit SMEs from adopting e-commerce. It was concluded that building any kind of electronic commerce system requires a strategy, that is the vision of the goal to achieve, a clear rationale of the business value, and a picture of the process to achieve such a goal and avoid a common pitfall.
