The Static Characteristics of Modern Load Types and Their Influence on the Electric Network Operating Modes
Authors:   NRU MPEI, Buslov Viktor V. , Chemborisova Nailia Sh. ,   NRU MPEI
Published: April 2021

One of the main aims pursued in conducting a power system operating mode is to maintain the normal voltage level at the control points of the power system and at its consumers. The voltage operation parameters in the electric network must meet the requirements of Russian State Standard (GOST) 32144‑2013 in regard of permissible voltage deviations for electric energy consumers who are powered from this network. In addition, it is desirable for the consumer to have an optimal voltage level at which the costs for producing a unit of goods are kept to a minimum. Each load is characterized by different active power consumption and reactive power absorption as a function of voltage, which leads to changes in the network operating parameters. Thus, in studying the electric power system operating modes, it is necessary to take into account the load static voltage characteristics. In this study, the electrical regimes were numerically analyzed (using the RastrWin3 software package), the Jacobi matrix was calculated, and the resulting data array was approximated using the Gauss, Cramer, and numerical methods. The distribution of power consumption in an individual house/apartment is determined; modern equations for the static characteristics of domestic loads for an individual house/apartment and for load nodes belonging to the 6-20 kV and 110-220 kV voltage classes are derived, and standardized node sensornet lists for different electrical networks are calculated. The study results can be used in designing modern electrical networks, in optimizing the network operating modes, and in settling operational dispatch control matters. It has been proven based on the results from comparing the obtained equations of static load characteristics with the typical ones that the introduction of energy saving technologies and the use of modern types of electrical appliances generate the need to change the typical static load characteristics. The necessity of representing the load at nodes by full models of static load characteristics is shown.
Attitude of Afghan youths on watching foreign dubbed serials: A case study of Takhar University, Afghanistan
Authors: DAQİQ Besmillah , HASHEMİ Aminuddin
Published: April 2021

The leading intention of this study was to discover the attitude of Afghan youths on watching foreign dubbed serials. The data were collected from 80 students including male and female who were studying at Takhar University in various majors. The participants were chosen randomly. The research instrument was a semi-structured interview. The data were analyzed based on thematic analysis. The outcome of the research is indicative that 96% of youths watch foreign dubbed serials, but 90% of them think that watching foreign dubbed serials have negative impacts on Muslim youths. Their reason is that the foreign dubbed serials like Turkish, Indian, and Americans are full of matters such as kidnapping, divorce, living in pleasure, drinking wine, illegal love affairs, and family distrust that change the minds of youths and guide them to apply those matters in their daily lives which are against Islamic values. Also, the result of the study illustrated that 80% of the study participants believe that foreign dubbed serials are extremely broadcast in Afghanistan because Afghanistan is a colonial and dependent government. Therefore, it is forced to implement the commands and purpose of superpower countries by any medium.

Since 1989, SIC Sport and a FMSI, in partnership with leading Italian Cardiological Scientific Associations (ANCE, ANMCO and SIC) have produced Cardiological Guidelines for Completive Sports Eligibility for athletes with heart disease (COCIS -- 1989, 1995, 2003, 2009 and 2017).

The English version of the Italian Cardiological Guidelines for Competitive Sports Eligibility for athletes with heart disease was published in 2013 in this Journal. This publication is an update with respect to the document previously published in English in 2013. It includes the principal innovations that have emerged over recent years, and is divided into five main chapters: arrhythmias, ion channel disorders, congenital heart diseases, acquired valve diseases, cardiomyopathies, myocarditis and pericarditis and ischemic heart disease. Wherever no new data have been introduced with respect to the 2013 publication, please refer to the previous version.

This document is intended to complement recent European and American guidelines but an important difference should be noted. The European and American guidelines indicate good practice for people engaging in physical activity at various levels, not only at the competitive level. In contrast, the COCIS guidelines refer specifically to competitive athletes in various sports including those with high cardiovascular stress. This explains why Italian guidelines are more restrictive than European and USA ones. COCIS guidelines address ‘sports doctors’ who, in Italy, must certify fitness to participate in competitive sports. In Italy, this certificate is essential for participating in any competition.
Citric Acid Production of Yeasts: An Overview
Authors: Börekçi Bilge Sayın , Kaban Güzin , Kaya Mükerrem
Published: April 2021

Background

Citric acid, an intermediate product of the Krebs cycle, has a wide usage area in the food industry since it has some functions such as acidulant, flavouring agent, preservative and antioxidant. Although molds are the most commonly used microorganisms in the citric acid production, it is known that there are significant advantages of using yeasts.

Purpose and scope

The microbial citric acid production mechanism needs to be well understood to make production more efficient. In this study, the yeasts used in the production, fermentation types and the factors affecting production were reviewed with studies.

Methodology

Although production of citric acid can be produced by chemical synthesis, the fermentation is preferred because of its low cost and ease of use. More than 90% of citric acid produced in the world is obtained by fermentation.

Results

Yarrowia lipolytica, Candida zeylanoides and Candida oleophila are evaluated for citric acid production with substrates such as molasses, glucose, sucrose and glycerol. On the other hand, there is great interest in developing processes with new substrates and/ or microorganisms.

Conclusion

Although the microbial strain is an important factor, the factors such as carbon, phosphorus and nitrogen sources, aeration, the presence of trace elements and pH are also parameters affecting the production.
20. Fishy Business

Published: April 2021

Anthropocentric activities have led to unsustainable populations of various fish species around the world today. We have increased our cultivation rates to manage our own growing population sizes at the expense of fish species. As a result, fish stocks around the world are in decline and the fishing industry today is pushing them to the point of collapse. Although many people would like to believe that their grocery stores are stocking their shelves with fish from sustainable sources, that is not always the case, and the general population is lacking the knowledge to make informed choices when purchasing fish. We aim to assess the types of fish, their sources, and the information provided to consumers about the fish in grocery stores of the Queen’s student area. We will work closely with Food Basics, Metro, John’s Deli, and Loblaw’s. After assessing these stores we will inform the public on which grocery stores have the best practices, and also inform the stores on ways in which they can change to include information for consumers on the sources and methods of obtaining the fish sold in their stores. We would like to be able to provide the public with labels indicating where the fish was caught, how it was caught, whether it was farmed or fished, and whether it was sustainably sourced. We will implement a consistent format in all of the stores and raise awareness in Kingston about the issues facing the fishing industry and how our choices can impact fish species.

Published: April 2021

Many countries implemented lockdowns to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Turkey is one of these countries where people were obliged to experience altered daily routines in May 2020. We aimed to identify physical activity level and well-being of people during COVID-19 outbreak and investigate the relationship among them. An on-line questionnaire was used to obtain data regarding descriptive characteristics and exercise habits. Individuals volunteered to participate in the study filled the questionnaire published in an on-line survey platform (Google Forms) in May 2020. Physical activity level was questioned and well-being of the individuals was measured by WHO-5 Well Being Index. Spearman and Kendall analyses were used. The survey was completed by 378 adults. Approximately three quarters (75.1%) of participants self-reported that they did not do any vigorous physical activity and nearly half of them (48.1%) self-reported not to do any moderate physical activity. Well Being Score was positively correlated with vigorous physical activity (days per week) (p=0.039, r=0.106). Our results showed that increased physical activity level is associated with improved well-being in adults. Effective strategies such as doing regular physical exercise should be used to decrease negative effects of pandemic on well-being and physical activity level.

Meckel’s diverticulum: an unusual finding during inguinal hernioplasty
Authors: Glinkowski Sławomir , Marcinkowska Daria
Published: April 2021

Meckel’s diverticulum is the most common congenital malalignment of the gastrointestinal tract, present in 2-4% of population. It occurs as an embryologic remnant of the vitelline duct. It may have different histological texture. Usually it is diagnosed only during autopsy or intraoperatively. Symptoms such as haemorrhage, inflammation or perforation are possible but very rare. The authors present a case of a patient who received scheduled surgical treatment due to right inguinal hernia. Meckel’s diverticulum was intraoperatively identified in the hernial sac. It was resected and sent for histopathological examination. Before the operation, the patient reported no history of diverticulum and no symptoms. A wedge resection and hernioplasty by Lichtenstein’s method were performed. Hernioplasty with mesh implantation and gastrointestinal tract discontinuity may be associated with a greater risk of infection; therefore prophylactic pre- and post-operative antibiotic therapy was administered. The surgery and the hospitalisation period were uneventful. No symptoms of wound infection were observed, and the healing process was proper. Histopathology findings confirmed the diagnosis of Meckel’s diverticulum. The herniation of a Meckel’s diverticulum – the so-called Littre hernia, is a very rare condition. On average, one case is described every year. In 50% of cases, it is localised in right inguinal hernia, as in the described case. Standard treatment involves diverticulum resection and, depending on the local condition, resection of the adjacent fragment of intestine in some cases.

The authors compare current productivity estimates with the data obtained in the 1960s and 1970s for the ecosystems of the Russian Arctic in the course of the International Biological Program. This makes it possible to identify objectively climate-related trends in their productivity in the 21st century. The authors used archives and current satellite data for the Russian Arctic, including AVHRR, LANDSAT, MODIS TERRA, and others, represented by periods of 30 years or more. They have revealed that by the 21st century, the phytomass stocks (reserves) of zonal ecosystems increased on average by 15—30%, and primary production by 10—15%. Compared with field measurements of the 1960—1970s at specific points, this growth reached 50% or more. In terms of productivity growth, the ecosystems of the Arctic European sector are leading, although in the 21st century the warming trend is not the highest here (0.4—0.5 °С/10 years). The production forecast of the Arctic land ecosystems for 2025 (deviation of the linear trend in comparison with 2000—2019) showed its continued growth in the Kola Peninsula, in the Bolshezemelmkaya tundra, the Yamal and Gydan Peninsulas, and a decrease in the Polar Urals, northern Siberia and Kolyma lowland. The growth of specific indicators of productivity in the 21st century reached a plateau and, similar to the warming case of the 1920—1940s, is unable to lead to zonal restructuring.

Published: April 2021

The article considers the fundamental aspects of powerful explosive degassing of the Earth in the north of Western Siberia (mainly Yamal). The author presents the results of a comprehensive analysis and compilation of a large volume of factual materials obtained during field studies of a number of catastrophic gas blowout objects in 2014—2020. The author outlines that most of the craters found in Yamal are confined to the zone of anomalous heat flow in the area of the Bovanenkovskoye field. The researcher substantiates the process formation model of gas-saturated cavities in the massifs of ground ice, heaving mounds, blowouts and self-ignition of gas with the formation of giant craters and formulates the main features of powerful explosive degassing in the Arctic.

The coronaviruses are a group of RNA-containing agents known to cause respiratory illnesses in humans and animals. This virus has caused two largescale pandemics in humans in the past two decades, SARS and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). A novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes the disease Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been isolated from in a seafood and poultry market in the Chinese city of Wuhan in 2019. Cases have been detected in most countries worldwide, and on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a pandemic. The virus spreads from person-to-person via close contact, respiratory droplets, or surface contact. The disease is mild in most people, yet may progress to pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome, multi-organ dysfunction, and even death. Treatment is essentially supportive as the role of antiviral agents is yet to be established. At the moment, is known relatively little about COVID-19, except that it is a highly pathogenic and possibly zoonotic agent. Therefore, the objective of this review paper is to summarize the current published evidence on the genomic structure, pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and prevention of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).

Network data is composed of nodes and edges. Successful application of machine learning/deep

learning algorithms on network data to make node classification and link prediction have been shown

in the area of social networks through which highly customized suggestions are offered to social

network users. Similarly one can attempt the use of machine learning/deep learning algorithms on

biological network data to generate predictions of scientific usefulness. In the presented work,

compound-drug target interaction network data set from bindingDB has been used to train deep

learning neural network and a multi class classification has been implemented to classify PubChem

compound queried by the user into class labels of PBD IDs. This way target interaction prediction for

PubChem compounds is carried out using deep learning. The user is required to input the PubChem

Compound ID (CID) of the compound the user wishes to gain information about its predicted

biological activity and the tool outputs the RCSB PDB IDs of the predicted drug target interaction for

the input CID. Further the tool also optimizes the compound of interest of the user toward drug

likeness properties through a deep learning based structure optimization with a deep learning based

drug likeness optimization protocol. The tool also incorporates a feature to perform automated In

Silico modelling for the compounds and the predicted drug targets to uncover their protein-ligand

interaction profiles. The program is hosted, supported and maintained at the following GitHub

repository

Thermodynamic Modelling of Hydrogen-Multicomponent Alloy Systems: Calculating Pressure-Composition-Temperature Diagrams
Authors: Zepon Guilherme , Silva Bruno , Zlotea Claudia , Botta Walter José , Champion Yannick
Published: April 2021

The applicability of an alloy as a hydrogen storage media mostly relies on its pressure-composition-temperature (PCT) diagram. Since the PCT diagram is composition-dependent, the vast compositional filed of high entropy alloys, complex concentrated alloys or multicomponent alloys can be explored to design alloys with optimized properties for each application. In this work, we present a thermodynamic model to calculate PCT diagrams of body-centered (BCC) multicomponent alloys. The entropy of the phases is described using the ideal configurational entropy for interstitial solid solutions with site blocking effect. As a first approximation, it is assumed that the H partial molar enthalpy of a phase is constant, so the enthalpy of H mixing varies linearly with the H concentration. Moreover, the H partial enthalpy of a phase for a multicomponent alloy was approximated by a simple ideal mixture law of this quantity for the alloy’s components with the same structure. Experimental data and DFT calculations were used for parametrization of the enthalpy terms of eight elements (Ti, V, Cr, Ni, Zr, Nb, Hf, and Ta), which are the components of the alloys tested in this work. Experimental PCTs of six BCC multicomponent alloys of four different systems were compared against the calculated ones and the agreement was remarkable. The model and parameters presented here can be regarded as a basis for developing powerful alloy design tools for different hydrogen storage applications.

Published: April 2021

The Statistical Assessment of Modeling of Proteins and Ligands (SAMPL) challenges focuses the computational modeling community on areas in need of improvement for rational drug design. The SAMPL7 physical property challenge dealt with prediction of octanol-water partition coefficients and pKa for 22 compounds. The dataset was composed of a series of N-acylsulfonamides and related bioisosteres.17 research groups participated in the logP challenge, submitting 33 blind submissions total. For the pKa challenge, 7 different groups participated, submitting 9 blind submissions in total. Overall, the accuracy of octanol-water logP predictions in the SAMPL7 challenge was lower than octanol-water logP predictions in SAMPL6, likely due to a more diverse dataset. Compared to the SAMPL6 pKa challenge, accuracy remains unchanged in SAMPL7.Interestingly, here, though macroscopic pKa values were often predicted with reasonable accuracy, there was dramatically more disagreement among participants as to which microscopic transitions produced these values (with methods often disagreeing even as to the sign of the free energy change associated with certain transitions), indicating far more work needs to be done on pKa prediction methods.
A Universal Strategy for Organic Fluid Phosphorescence Materials
Authors: Sun Siyu , Wang Jie , Ma Liangwei , Ma Xiang , Tian He
Published: April 2021

It has become an accepted approach to construct room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials by suppressing the non-radiative decay process. However, there is limited success in developing fluid phosphorescence materials due to the ultrafast non-radiation relaxation of vibration and collision of molecules in fluid matrixes. In this study, a universal strategy was proposed for pure organic phosphorescent fluid materials that are able to generate effective phosphorescent emissions at both room temperature (ΦRTP, 293 K ~ 30%) and even higher temperature (ΦRTP, 358 K ~ 4.53%). Based on these findings, a qualitative analytical method was developed for leak detection and a quantitative analytical technique was further validated to help visually identify the heat distribution of irregular surfaces. This advancement greatly empowers the current organic phosphorescent system offering an alternative approach to determine moisture and heat from non-invasive photoluminescence emission colors.
INDONESIAN GENDER-SPECIFIC NEOLOGISMS
Authors: Bram Barli , Pasaribu Truly Almendo
Published: April 2021

This paper aims at analyzing how gender-specific neologisms in Indonesian are formed and how they conceptualize gender in the community. Neologisms containing gender marked features from online media are extracted. They are classified based on the forms and the word formation processes. The researchers conduct a careful examination on how the semantic components in the neologisms conceptualize gender in the society. The researchers categorized the word formation processes of gender marked neologisms, consisting of 92 data samples, into seven word formation processes, starting from the least up to the most frequent processes, namely metaphor, reverse, acronym, diminutive, initialism, borrowing and blend/clipping compound. The results showed that blends or clipping compounds were formed from English, Indonesian and local languages, such as Javenese, as in the English-Indonesian bohay (‘body’ and aduhay ‘sexy’) to refer to a ‘sexy female body’. These new words semantically ground on social dimensions carrying several attributes, namely: emotional, financial, physical, sexual, and financial attributes. Instead of serving as an act of empowerment, some neologisms, as argued in the findings, reflect negative stigma to particular genders.
LINGUISTIK KORPUS KUANTITATIF DAN KAJIAN SEMANTIK LEKSIKAL SINONIM EMOSI BAHASA INDONESIA
Authors: Rajeg Gede Primahadi Wijaya
Published: April 2021

This paper demonstrates the application of Multiple Distinctive Collexeme Analysis (MDCA) to study nuances and similarity between HAPPINESS near-synonyms in Indonesian. MDCA, as a variant of a family of quantitative corpus linguistic method called Collostructional Analysis, is proposed as a usage-based operationalisation for a classic theoretical construct in cognitive linguistic approach to emotion semantics, namely the idea of “related concepts” associated with the meaning of an emotion. Using MDCA, I expanded the idea of “related concepts” to investigate the semantics of more than one, near-synonymous, emotion on the basis of the synonyms’ distinctive collocates. I argue that MDCA (i) provides empirical basis for such a theoretical idea as “related concepts” and (ii) helps enrich semantic characterisation of a given emotion word in comparison to its synonyms, highlighting how they may differ or converge semantically.
JAVANESE LANGUAGE AS AN ETHNIC IDENTITY MARKER AMONG MULTILINGUAL FAMILIES IN INDONESIA
Authors: Zen Evynurul Laily
Published: April 2021

The rise of a pan-Indonesian national identity and the global significance of English have weakened heritage languages in Indonesia’s various ethnolinguistic communities. Focusing on the case of Javanese, the largest ethnic group, this study examines the role of the HL as an ethnic marker and its interplay with factors such as ethnic self-identification, proficiency, and usage frequency. The data were collected via parental surveys of 183 primary school children in East Java. The findings indicate that the Javanese language is still highly valued as ethnic marker and that Javanese people view its maintenance as central to their identity construction. However, inconsistencies are identified between attitudes and practices, with use of Javanese as a home language decreasing, and children’s production showing extensive influence from Indonesian. Taken together, positive attitudes regarding the Javanese as identity marker and the apparent ethnolinguistic vitality of Javanese is not necessarily translated into intergenerational transmission.

The aim was
to identify the relationship between the physical self-concept profile and
human flourishing in physically active women, including the validation of the
human flourishing scale, which had not been validated yet to the Spanish
context. Five hundred eighty (N=580) women, aged between 18 and 65 years (M
= 37.13; SD = 12.56 years) completed the following
questionnaires: Human Flourishing (FH), Physical Self-Perception Profile (PSPP),
and Habitual Physical Activity in the last six months. After the structural
regression analysis, we were able to demonstrate that the scale of human
flourishing presented adequate psychometrics with a Cronbach’s alpha of .83 and
a CCI of .90. Through the cluster analysis we were able to present two
self-concept profiles and the reliability indexes were satisfactory: the
profile of high physical self-concept was higher in women with greater human
flourishing [ F (1, 579) = 11.75, p<.001, η2=.02] and higher levels of physical exercise [F (1, 579) =
11,19, p<.001, η2=.01] compared to the group with a low physical self-concept. We believe that
these variables have a strong influence on the personal adjustment of women and
should be addressed through preventive intervention for disorders related to an
individual’s distress.

The aim of the present study was to compare the fitness profiles
and internal training loads between senior team and academy team soccer players
during an in-season phase. Twenty-two professional soccer players from the
senior team (n=12; 28.3 2.0 years) and under 19
(U19) team (n=10; 18.0 0.4 years) of the same club participated in the present study.
High-intensity running performance, acceleration, maximal sprint, and change of
direction (COD) ability were all tested during the mid-season break of a
competitive season. Session rating of perceived exertion (sRPE) reflecting the internal training load
during the entire first half of the season was being documented daily. Senior
players showed small to moderate superiority in COD (1.8%, 90%
confidence intervals [CI, -3.2; 7.1], ES: 0.24 [-0.44; 0.92]), maximal sprint
(2.3%, [0.0; 4.7], ES: 0.81 [0.00; 1.63]) and acceleration (3%, [0.2; 5.8], ES:
0.96 [0.06; 1.85]). The U19 showed small better high-intensity intermittent running fitness (2.5%, [-1.2; 6.3], ES: 0.39
[-0.20; 0.97]). When analyzing internal training loads (from M-3 to M+3), the
U19 showed small to very large higher sRPE values for all days
(range; 8.2%; 229.3%, [-8.1; 328.3], ES range; 0.25; 2.70, [-0.26; 3.3]),
except for match days (M), on which unclear trivial
difference was observed (-1.5%, [-9.6; 7.5], ES -0.09 [-0.65; 0.46]). Our
results showed that senior players and youth players had different fitness
profiles and internal training loads during the first half of a competitive
season; this should be taken into consideration when designing specific and
individualized recovery and training sessions.

Published: April 2021

In this day and age, with the ever-growing population and energy demand, we should take the renewable option route in our energy source. We should also keep in mind that said energy should not cause any lasting environmental damage, one of the perfect example being solar energy. A country that is hot and sunny all year long is the perfect contributor to solar energy, case in point, Malaysia. With that in mind Solar Tree is designed and developed to facilitate consumers who need electric power at any place, anytime, anywhere. The objective of this study is to assess a mini project in the likes of Solar Tree that can generate electricity without harming the environment, despite the weather. Intended specifically to be a mini project, it is understandable that electricity generated is limited, with only up to 500W in total. As a trial, two electronic devices were tested, specifically a mobile phone and a laptop, as both devices are used almost every day. The data collected is then tabulated and analysed. It was concluded the solar tree developed proved efficient in charging both devices and will continue to do so given enough sunlight.
A Novel Recycling Technology of Bamboo Using NaOH
Authors:   Chiba University
Published: April 2021

The bamboo industry in Japan is declined, and disordered bamboo forests are increasing. Although maintenance of bamboo forest is needed, a large amount of bamboo wastes after logging is generated and left untreated. Therefore, new utilization of bamboo wastes after logging are desired. In this research, we aimed to develop a new recycling technology for bamboo using alkali hydroxide. By pyrolyzing bamboo using hydroxide under an inert atmosphere, thermal decomposition of organic contents and alkali fusion of silica component inside the bamboo were carried out simultaneously to recover combustible gas, charcoal and silica component. The thermal decomposition behavior of bamboo, the properties of the obtained charcoal and extraction of silica in the presence of alkali hydroxide were investigated, and the optimum condition of bamboo recycling treatment was examined. As a result, it was found that when 1 g of bamboo was pyrolyzed at higher than 500 °C with 3 g NaOH ,the almost silica was extracted, a large amount of gas generated, and a carbonized material with specific surface area of about more than 1100 m2 /g was obtained.

This research presents an improved and more effective approach for data acquisition of recirculation aquaculture system (RAS). The previous research, the system uses manual methods to take the important data from RAS and it wastes the time and also gets late response from the fish farmer if the data is not in the good condition. As a result, fog computing technology is applied to overcome all these problems and acts as advance data acquisition system to keep data safely by sharing the processed data in fog computing for every tanks and analyze the data to make an accurate control/decision in the real time. Besides, open source technology plus embedded system based will be integrated for this research because its benefits such as small size, low cost, light weight, portable, high efficiency and low power consumption. This research has achieved the objectives which are design a data collecting system for RAS, design a data processing system using fog computing and integrate, test and validate automatic data collection and processing strategy for recirculation aquaculture system (RAS). The data collecting system for RAS, RaspDAQ is developed by connecting Raspberry Pi 3 to temperature sensor (LM35DT) using analogue digital converter (ADC) MCP3002, water level sensor (HC-SR04), Rpi camera module, LEDs and buzzer. Software and program are built using Python and Apache server to run every functions of RaspDAQ. While third Raspberry Pi 3 is setup as data processing system, RaspFog using PHP, Apache and MySQL server. Both RaspDAQ and RaspFog are based on Raspbian operating system. After that, RaspDAQ1 and RaspDAQ2 are connected to RaspFog using WiFi technology to send sensors data in real time. The received data are stored and plotted using Highcharts.com graph. The data collecting system, RaspDAQ and data server and processor, RaspFog has been tested and validated. At the same time, users can see the graph output in the real time for temperature, water level sensor and real condition using Rpi camera module of RaspDAQ1 and RaspDAQ2 by browsing RaspFog website. From the observation, data has been transferred from RaspDAQ to RaspFog in a short duration which is less than 15 seconds. Consequently, the efficiency of data acquisition process has been improved from manual system to fog computing technology successfully.
SOCIAL STRATIFICATION OF SOVIET SOCIETY (1917−1930’S). MODERN CONCEPTS AND APPROACHES
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Moskalevich Aleksandra S.
Published: April 2021

The article analyzes modern approaches to studying the social stratification of Soviet society in the 1917–1930’s in the humanities. Modern science is characterized by an interest in social stratification within the framework of sociology. Among the scholars of that science there is a rejection of the classical representation for the stratification of society whereas a new theoretical approach is created, associated with an idea of the existence of more than three classes in Soviet society (works by Zinaida T. Golenkova, Vladimir I. Ilyin and Ovsei I. Shkaratan). In the 21st century, social stratification becomes the object for studying by some culture researchers exemplarily Irina V. Glushchenko considers classes through the prism of the formation of the food culture by the Soviet government. The today history formed several approaches to the study of the concept: works within the framework of the new social history (Sh. Fitzpatrick), among which the study of social stratification in its connection with public catering (E.V. Barysheva, A.A. Ilyukhov, T.S. Kondrat’eva); research conducted using methods of the everyday history (for example, Sh. Fitzpatrick, Natalia B. Lebina, E.A. Osokina, etc.).

In the article, based on personal memories, the author analyzes the activities of a famous scientist and teacher, doctor of historical sciences, professor, who worked for more than forty years at the Institute of History and Archives of the Russian State Humanitarian University – Nikolai Petrovich Eroshkin. His scientific, methodological and teaching activities are analyzed. His academic career allowed him to be deservedly considered the largest specialist in the history of Russian statehood in the 19th – early 20th centuries. His lecturing skills were characterized by the audience as one of the best in the Institute of History and Archives. He is the author of a textbook on the history ofstate institutions in pre-revolutionary Russia, the study book that withstood three lifetime and two posthumous editions, and has not lost its relevance to this day. Particular attention is paid to his organizational skills, which made it possible to create a specialized department, the core of which was the school of scholars of the history of state known not only in the USSR, and later in the Russian Federation, but also abroad. It exists to this day and consists of his students and their students. Under his leadership, hundreds of theses were written, about forty of his students defended their Ph.D. theses, seven of whom became doctors of science.
