Skills, performance, and ability attributes are known as student outcomes that are gained during graduation. In order to evaluate quality assurance of these outcomes, a set of specific and targeted curriculum and extra-curriculum activities must be used for precise as-assessment. Meeting the required outcomes, a set of desired courses have to be selected to insure that the desired outcome is highly satisfied. “Highly” covered can be identified using Bloom’s levels, number of covered hours, weight of its assessment and others. Student outcomes are directly linked to course goals that are identified using a set of measurable verbs. In this paper, we will be using two outcomes “a” and “e” to structurally assess both direct and indirect outcomes in mathematics and other scientific courses using a partial differential equation method by defining appropriate measurable course goals. The strategy to assess the outcome is also explained.

Nowadays the software development steps are evident and unavoidable in developing software projects. Every day software demands have has been growing in this field, provides new innovative ideas and support to incorporate the customer needs in software development. In this paper Agile methods with scalability have been focused which are very important to pre-planning software development process and business cost estimation. It has not provided an optimal solution to all projects in past history. So, in this paper, scrum procedure is applied which is based on Agile methods with scalability projects, and are estimated by some of the criteria such as function point, use case point, object point, and storyboard points based effort estimation parameters similar to the waterfall model, spiral model, and rapid development model. But none of them gives an accurate result. The main reason for most of the projects failure is because of inaccurate estimation. So scrum-based agile method with extended version providing reasonable accurate result in developed software projects is considered which is estimated using various metrics. Scrum procedure with Agile method is used on different projects. It is constructed based on an agile framework. Its categories are estimated in the machine learning procedure, whose results are meted based on different types such as small projects, medium projects, and large projects which are estimated in extended versions of scrum based Agile methods. They construe 70% of software based on agile methods. Its estimation results are justified in the machine learning processes such as Bayesian regression using back propagation neural network.

Relevance: В under the conditions of reforming the characteristics of the Russian system of higher education are gradually changing in accordance with the General directions of development of modern society. The role of professionalism, personal activity of the student, his interest in self-improvement and readiness for self-education increases. The understanding of education is formed not as a process focused on the transfer of ready-made knowledge from teacher to student, but as a comprehensive system aimed at individualizing the student's mastery of the skills necessary for successful employment in the labor market.This approach to education is based on the development of professional thinking of students by shifting the emphasis of educational work on independent activities of students and its motivation. Independent work of students is considered as a methodological basis for achieving strong and in-depth knowledge, professional competencies, formation of cognitive activity and commitment. Excel software environment, which makes it possible to run cluster analysis of large amounts of statistical data promptly and with minimal time expenses. Conclusion: The paper’s authors consider that the automation of clustering process in the Microsoft Excel software environment allows decreasing time significantly. The process of cluster analysis in the MS Excel program without the use of add-on is very labor-intensive and requires a lot of time to complete it. Also, in case of very large number of items, the time for running cluster analysis significantly increases and when the number of items is estimated in hundreds and thousands, the time of effective cluster analysis running can be estimated in days, which is very ineffective. The use of add-in doesn’t require special knowledge on the mechanism of running cluster analysis from the user and takes a few seconds to complete it.

The manufacturing systems used to automatically fill seal and pack food products is referred as Form Fill Seal (FFS) technology. The FFS technology aims to reduce human intervention and thereby reducing contamination of the food products. This requirement is primarily found in Food and Pharmaceutical industries. The production rate in these machines is optimized through accurate time control of the packing process. The sequential steps involved are pack formation, content filling and pack sealing. The current system under study is not economical for short production, multi-ply packing and cannot self-adjust for different widths of bag. To overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the existing system, a low-cost automation system is proposed which uses standardized electrical, mechanical and pneumatic systems. Additional weigh and pour mechanisms were included to increase the accuracy of the system. A mechatronics system, developed for this machine is controlled by a Dual Core PIC Microcontroller, which is capable of receiving feedback from sensors and controlling the actuators accordingly. The low-cost automation system involved the mechanical system design, Finite Element Analysis of the mechanical system, electronic circuit design, control system design and HMI programming. The proposed system has increased the production rate at an optimum cost and also the machine size is reduced by five percent. With the increase in production rate and machine size, the developed machine can play a vital role in improving the outcome of a manufacturing system.

Introduction. The period of studying in a professional educational organization is the most important in the life of a future specialist, as it is the time when a person becomes a participant of industrial relations, forms views on the profession, changes the system of values, develops motivation for professional activity. The strengthening of social and professional responsibility of a person should be accompanied by the strengthening of an educational institution’s responsibility for the quality of training of a specialist. Researchmethodology. Professional self-determination is considered by researches both as a process, and as the result of the development of a professional, each phase (stage) of which is characterized by different content. The age of adolescence plays here an important role, as the problem of choice of a profession becomes “an affective centre of the living situation” at that exact time. Researchresults. Competitiveness of a specialist becomes one of the priorities of improving the system of professional education in Russia and the most important criterion of its quality. This competitiveness includes not only the intimate knowledge of a profession, understanding of related areas of activity, readiness to practice the chosen profession effectively on a level with the highest world standards but also a high level of social and professional self-determination of graduates, developed self-concept of an individual. Discussion. The main characteristics of self-determination as a psychological and pedagogic phenomenon are belonging to a subject, procedurality, consciousness, self-sufficiency.Conclusion. Professional self-determination is an activity of a person (a component of personal self-determination) which is carried out during social development and maturity and, if necessary, adjusted with the help of a specially organized interference – career-guidance, teaching and educational process, theoretical and practical work.

The study is about bankruptcy prediction using multivariate model of analysis for the case of twelve large accounts which were referred to National Company Law Tribunal for insolvency proceedings. Corporate failures affect all stakeholders. It’s also a fact that companies are never shielded from bankruptcy. With the mounting of India’s non-performing assets, the pronouncement of Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code is a strong suit for maximising value of lenders as well as borrowers. The first part of the paper throws light on the code, the progress made and challenges faced. On the empirical literature side, the paper applies the famous Altman’s Z-Score model on the first twelve companies on which insolvency proceedings are on. Suitability of the model is supported by literature review on the subject. Financial data gathered from Annual reports are analysed to arrive at Z-Score results. The strength of the results are statistically examined through hypotheses tested using regression and feasibility of the model is tested using ANOVA. The paper presents the limitation of the study, a discussion of the suitability of the model and further scope of research in the area.

QUANTUM-CHEMICAL STUDY OF INTERACTION 1,2-ETHANEDITHIOL WITH 1,3-DICHLOROBUTENE-2 IN THE SYSTEM HYDRASINEHYDRATEKOH
Authors: Chirkina Elena
Published: October 2019

According to the results of quantum-chemical studies in the framework of the theory

of functional density of the electron density using the B3LYP / 6-311 ++ G (d, p) method, a theoretical

mechanism of the reaction of 1,3-dichlorobutene-2 with 1,2-ethanedithiol in the hydrazine hydrateKOH system has been proposed. It has been shown that this interaction proceeds sequentially in several stages, including the nucleophilic substitution of the chlorine atom of the sp3 hybridized carbon

atom to the sulfur atom with the formation of a monosubstitution product (SN2 mechanism), which under the action of alkali undergoes deprotonation of the methylene group to form an allyl carbanion .

The resulting carbanion, due to the migration of hydrogen and the removal of chlorine, is converted

into an allene derivative, which as a result of the intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the free

thiolate group on the central carbon atom of the allene fragment closes into the final dithian cycle.

Published: October 2019

Background: Nanoparticles are under investigation as carrier systems for anticancer drugs. The expression of efflux transporters such as the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter ABCB1 is an important resistance mechanism in therapy-refractory cancer cells. Drug encapsulation into nanoparticles has been shown to bypass efflux-mediated drug resistance, but there are also conflicting results. To investigate whether easy-to-prepare nanoparticles made of well-tolerated polymers may circumvent transporter-mediated drug efflux, we prepared poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), polylactic acid (PLA), and PEGylated PLGA (PLGA-PEG) nanoparticles loaded with the ABCB1 substrate doxorubicin by solvent displacement and emulsion diffusion approaches and assessed their anticancer efficiency in neuroblastoma cells, including ABCB1-expressing cell lines, in comparison to doxorubicin solution.

Results: The resulting nanoparticles covered a size range between 73 and 246 nm. PLGA-PEG nanoparticle preparation by solvent displacement led to the smallest nanoparticles. In PLGA nanoparticles, the drug load could be optimised using solvent displacement at pH 7 reaching 53 µg doxorubicin/mg nanoparticle. These PLGA nanoparticles displayed sustained doxorubicin release kinetics compared to the more burst-like kinetics of the other preparations. In neuroblastoma cells, doxorubicin-loaded PLGA-PEG nanoparticles (presumably due to their small size) and PLGA nanoparticles prepared by solvent displacement at pH 7 (presumably due to their high drug load and superior drug release kinetics) exerted the strongest anticancer effects. However, nanoparticle-encapsulated doxorubicin did not display increased efficacy in ABCB1-expressing cells relative to doxorubicin solution.

Conclusion: Doxorubicin-loaded nanoparticles made by different methods from different materials displayed substantial discrepancies in their anticancer activity at the cellular level. Optimised preparation methods resulted in PLGA nanoparticles characterised by increased drug load, controlled drug release, and high anticancer efficacy. The design of drug-loaded nanoparticles with optimised anticancer activity at the cellular level is an important step in the development of improved nanoparticle preparations for anticancer therapy. Further research is required to understand under which circumstances nanoparticles can be used to overcome efflux-mediated resistance in cancer cells.
A new approach to silicon rhodamines by Suzuki–Miyaura coupling – scope and limitations
Authors: Kanagasundaram Thines , Timmermann Antje , Kramer Carsten S , Kopka Klaus
Published: October 2019

Background: Silicon rhodamines are of particular interest because of their advantageous dye properties (fluorescence- and biostability, quantum efficiency, tolerance to photobleaching). Therefore, silicon rhodamines find frequent application in STED (stimulated emission depletion) microscopy, as sensor molecules for, e.g., ions and as fluorophores for the optical imaging of tumors. Different strategies were already employed for their synthesis. Because of just three known literature examples in which Suzuki–Miyaura cross couplings gave access to silicon rhodamines in poor to moderate yields, we wanted to improve these first valuable experimental results.

Results: The preparation of the xanthene triflate was enhanced and several boron sources were screened to find the optimal coupling partner. After optimization of the palladium catalyst, different substituted boroxines were assessed to explore the scope of the Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction.

Conclusions: A number of silicon rhodamines were synthesized under the optimized conditions in up to 91% yield without the necessity of HPLC purification. Moreover, silicon rhodamines functionalized with free acid moieties are directly accessible in contrast to previously described methods.
ATTRACTIVE STREETSCAPE MAKING PEDESTRIANS WALK LONGER ROUTES: THE CASE OF KUNITACHI IN TOKYO
Authors: Capitanio Marco
Published: October 2019

There are manifold benefits of an increase in pedestrian movement, both in regard to societal and to personal wellbeing, and walkability is considered a major goal in urban design. However, it is methodologically complicated to ascertain to what extent streetscape features relating to comfort and pleasurability influence pedestrian behavior. Our hypothesis is that pedestrians, at the neighborhood scale, prefer more attractive routes even if they are longer than other possible and equally safe routes to reach a certain destination, independently of the presence of amenities. As a case study, we selected Kunitachi, an attractive city in Tokyo Prefecture, thus adding to the body of non-western empirical research on pedestrian preferences. By comparing two Space Syntax betweenness simulations of pedestrian routes – compulsory and optional – with an actual counting of pedestrian frequency on site, and with behavioral observations, we have established that simulations according to the principle of “shortest route” considerably differ from actual pedestrian frequency. Only by allowing a certain detour leeway, simulations showed a less pronounced discrepancy with reality. While further research is needed to confirm our results, this enquiry has demonstrated that, attractive streetscape features are part of the reason why local residents prefer pleasant and comfortable routes over shorter ones
New Neutron Star Equation of State with Quark–Hadron Crossover
Authors: Baym Gordon , Furusawa Shun , Hatsuda Tetsuo , Kojo Toru , Togashi Hajime
Published: October 2019

We present a much improved equation of state for neutron star matter, QHC19, with a smooth crossover from the hadronic regime at lower densities to the quark regime at higher densities. We now use the Togashi et al. equation of state, a generalization of the Akmal–Pandharipande–Ravenhall equation of state of uniform nuclear matter, in the entire hadronic regime; the Togashi equation of state consistently describes nonuniform as well as uniform matter, and matter at beta equilibrium without the need for an interpolation between pure neutron and symmetric nuclear matter. We describe the quark matter regime at higher densities with the Nambu–Jona–Lasinio model, now identifying tight constraints on the phenomenological universal vector repulsion between quarks and the pairing interaction between quarks arising from the requirements of thermodynamic stability and causal propagation of sound. The resultant neutron star properties agree very well with the inferences of the LIGO/Virgo collaboration, from GW170817, of the pressure versus baryon density, neutron star radii, and tidal deformabilities. The maximum neutron star mass allowed by QHC19 is 2.35 M
⊙, consistent with all neutron star mass determinations.
The Evolution of Baryonic Mass Function of Galaxies to z = 3
Authors: Pan Zhizheng , Peng Yingjie , Zheng Xianzhong , Wang Jing , Kong Xu
Published: October 2019

We combine the published stellar mass function (SMF) and gas scaling relations to explore the baryonic (stellar plus cold gas) mass function (BMF) of galaxies to redshift z = 3. We find evidence that at log(M
baryon/M
☉) > 11.3, the BMF has evolved little since z ∼ 2.2. With the evolution of BMF and SMF, we investigate the baryon net accretion rate (

) and stellar mass growth rate (

at z ∼ 2.5 to

at z ∼ 0.5, suggesting that massive galaxies are transforming from the “accretion-dominated” phase to the “depletion-dominated” phase from high-z to low-z. The transition of these two phases occurs at z ∼ 1.5, which is consistent with the onset redshift of the decline of cosmic star formation rate density (CSFD). This provides evidence to support the idea that the decline of CSFD since z ∼ 1.5 mainly results from the decline of baryon net accretion rate and star formation quenching in galaxies.

O presente artigo abordou a temática Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos (PNRS) e Tecnologia Social (TS). Como objetivo propôs analisar os papéis do Estado, das Cooperativas e da TS na perspectiva da construção de instrumentos viáveis à PNRS. A metodologia utilizada foi revisão bibliográfica e análise documental de 50 experiências de TS cadastradas no Banco de Tecnologias Sociais da Fundação Banco do Brasil. Como categorias analíticas consideraram-se: problemas identificados, soluções desenvolvidas, investimentos, organizações desenvolvedoras e alcance regional. Os resultados indicaram a TS como um instrumento adequado a contribuir à implementação da PNRS. As soluções representaram: melhoria na renda de catadores; organização de cooperativas; destinação adequada de resíduos a baixo custo e adequação de municípios à legislação. Dos desenvolvedores de TS, a maioria são organizações privadas. E em números de implantação das experiências, destaque para as regiões Sudeste e Nordeste.
Entre Adas e Marias: as mulheres e a tecnologia da informação: um olhar para os cursos de graduação em Ponta Grossa (2003-2017)
Authors: Schactae Andrea Mazurok , Magnhotto Leticia Hass
Published: October 2019

Observa-se que atualmente, no Ocidente, na área de Tecnologia da Informação, há pouca presença feminina. Isso ocorre pelo contexto histórico-social, pois ao longo da história Ocidental as mulheres foram percebidas como portadoras de capacidades para realizarem tarefas de cuidado e interpessoais, e o conhecimento científico foi percebido como pertencente aos homens. Voltando o olhar para o passado dessa área de Tecnologia da Informação, observa-se que a matemática Ada Lovelace, que viveu entre os anos 1815 a 1852, é uma precursora do que hoje chamamos de linguagem da computação. Sendo assim, olhando para o passado, na busca de compreender o presente, e este texto objetiva apresentar algumas informações sobre a presença das mulheres no campo tecnológico ao longo do século XX, a partir de uma análise bibliográfica, bem como, analisar um estudo de caso, observando o número de homens e mulheres ingressantes e concluintes dos cursos de graduação das universidades públicas de Ponta Grossa, nos cursos de Engenharia da Computação, Engenharia de Software, Ciência da Computação, no início do século XXI. Para a realização desse estudo utiliza-se como base teórica e de análise a categoria gênero. Para a análise dos dados coletados, foi utilizada uma observação quantitativa – construindo gráficos, quadros e tabelas –, e uma reflexão qualitativa, na qual os dados quantitativos serão problematizados, com a utilização da categoria gênero. Os resultados dessas análises permitem observar a relações entre os dados locais e nacionais, bem como, os internacionais. O conhecimento dessa realidade permitirá que no futuro se desenvolvam estratégias para incentivar as mulheres a seguirem nessa carreira, pois em uma sociedade a cada dia mais tecnológica a área de Tecnologia da Informação é um espaço de poder. E como outros espaços sociais, esse tende a reproduzir as relações de gênero que excluem as mulheres.
