The content analysis of regional entrepreneurship
Authors: SMIRNOV Valerii V.
Published: March 2021

Subject. The study determines directions for developing the business activity in the Russian regions.
Methods. The study is based on the systems approach and methods of statistical, neural network and cluster analysis.
Results. I review the current aspects of the regional business development when business rules are changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The article scrutinizes the concept of entrepreneurship in terms of historical development and legal status. Having conducted the content analysis of the business activity in a lagging region of the Russian Federation, I found its highest concentration, with small businesses (and microbusinesses) taking the lead and maintaining the employment. Businesses tend to trade in goods of other producers, thus decreasing the average headcount for smaller businesses, including microbusinesses. Studying the hierarchy of economic activity types small businesses engage in by share of investment in the capital stock (in terms of new and imported fixed assets), I note the unprofitable investment n such foreign trade activities, such as Agriculture, forestry, hunting, fisheries and fish farming, and Construction. The dynamism of small businesses drops earlier, longer and deeper if compared to sole proprietors. In a lagging region, smaller business forms can evolve only if they deal with trade.
Conclusions and Relevance. The content analysis of the Russian regional business gave an understanding of its development limits from perspectives of a lagging region, which determines the growth rates of business activity in Russia. The content analysis reveals high growth rates of trade in goods that smaller businesses sell, without being their producers. The findings contribute to the knowledge and competence of specialists working for the Russian Ministry of Economic Development to make consistent managerial decisions concerning the distribution and redistribution of investment resources.

Authors: Prada Erik
Published: March 2021

Urgency of the research. The potential of controlling the position of levitating objects has great application in deposition and in various positioning systems. Magnetic levitation eliminates direct mechanical friction between moving parts. Target setting. The measurement shielding method used is one of the methods of determining the position of a levitating object. By combining positioning and regulating elements, we achieve a feedback control. The use of a given type of measurement has advantages in places where the use of other methods is not appropriate. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. The problem of magnetic levitation is addressed by several research
laboratories with a direct connection to practice. The problem that is currently solved within magnetic levitation is the regulation of the levitating object using various types of regulators. The research objective. Derivation of mathematical model of magnetic levitation and examination of nonlinear system followed by linearization by Taylor series. Experimental determination of characteristics and dependence between object
position, voltage and current. The statement of basic materials. The position of the levitating object is determined by the shading of the optical sensor. The light source is a laser light. Conclusions. In this work we defined the mathematical model of the magnetic levitation system and subsequently derived the transfer function of the levitation system and the position sensor. From the experimental verification of the shadow method for the determination of the position of the levitating object and the consequent need for regulation, we found that the dependence of the position of the levitating object on current and voltage on the photodiode is linear in the active region.
Determination of Potential Runoff Coefficient using Geographic Information System for a Small Basin in Balakayety Watershade, Kurdistan Region of Iraq
Authors: Fattah Sheikh Suleimany Jehan M.
Published: March 2021

Runoff coefficient is an index for losses in rainfall required in most hydrological models and water resources projects. Generally, in the Balakayety water shade in Kurdistan region of Iraq, no runoff data are available as almost basins are ungagged. The Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques and available data for a small basin in Balakayety watershed within the Erbil governorate (Kurdistan Region of Iraq) were used to estimate the coefficient of potential runoff coefficient (PRC). The estimated PRC will be then used to calculate the depth of runoff. The Satellite Imagery (Landsat 7 ETM+) for 2015 was procured to create land cover classes, the classifications accuracy equal to 88.4%, and the Kappa index is 83.7%. The slope map developed from the digital elevation model with 30 m resolution. The area’s hydrologic soil map is digitized from the Iraqi soil map. The inverse distance weighting method was used to interpolate the rainfall of the study area into the Arc GIS. It was found that the most study area covered by moderate to high (PRC) values ranged from 55% to 83%, and runoff depth values vary from 398.1 mm to 610.3 mm. The present study indicates that the integration of all obtained thematic maps into GIS provides a powerful tool for calculating the runoff coefficient for catchments lacks streamflow data which can result in flood/drought predictions that will be not accurate. These findings are helpful in identifying flood areas, selecting proper sites for water harvesting, and enhancing water resources management programs.

As a first study in this age group in Erbil/Kurdistan region/Iraq, oral conditions are relatively common in the sample examined; dentist and dental practitioner should be aware for their recognition and referral for management.
Cognitive Semantic Analysis of Conceptual Metaphors in Donne’s “A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning”
Authors: Abdulla Ismail A. , Lutfi Abbas F.
Published: March 2021

There has always been a widely held view among literary and linguistic circles that poetic language and naturally occurring language represent two quite different registers; hence, they can by no means be subjected to treatment through the same rout of analysis. Another problem is that poetic language is said to utilize some special figures as meaning construction devices that are called meaning devices, which are purely literary devices and have little value outside literature. This paper aims at analyzing poetic language in terms of the renowned cognitive semantic model known as conceptual metaphor theory which was first prosed for the analysis of everyday language and cognition. Another aim of this study is to prove the fallacy of the traditional view that treated metaphor as an ornamental literary device and one source of linguistic or semantic deviation. Adopting the conceptual metaphor theory, the present research hypothesizes that the conceptual metaphor theory is applicable to the poetic language as well. It is also hypothesized that traditional view toward metaphor is completely false. To achieve the above aims and check the hypotheses, the researchers have analyzed one of the most renowned metaphysical poems by John Donne, titled “A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning.” Through the analysis, it has been concluded that the conceptual metaphor theory is applicable to poetic language as it is to everyday language and the conceptual metaphors are basic, rather than ornamental, for understanding poetry, and for the meaning construction in poetic language as they are in non-poetic one.

Published: March 2021

The aim of this paper is to analyze some argues of the terminology of native English-speaking teachers (NESTs)/non-native English-speaking teachers (NNESTs), which George Braine and Peter Medgyes made their first steps toward this study. The study relied on the nature notion of these two concepts in linguistic studies in various areas of the world. It illuminates the strengths and the limitations of NESTs and NNESTs with respect to English language teaching to speakers of other languages, particularly in Kurdistan Regional of Iraq with different models of linguistics. Consequently, the work focuses on the perceptions, responses, and attitudes toward these two contexts with taking account their role in teaching English in Kurdistan Regional of Iraq. Finally, the evaluation portrays an outstanding method of teaching English by co-operating NESTs/NNESTs. Since recently, it considers as one of the highest applicable strategies in TEL, and the educational institutions may achieve a better success by providing both instructors in their programs.

Authors: Nejmeddin Aram I.
Published: March 2021

Despite the presence of many naturally attractive tourist destinations, tourism in the Middle Eastern countries is affected because of the unfair media presentation of the geopolitical tensions in some parts of the region. In order to increase the number of tourists to this region, it becomes important to educate and train the tour guides to influence the tourists visiting these destinations by the quality level of their service and to provide destination-related information to the tourists to encourage them to revisit these destinations as well as recommend these destinations to their family and friends. In this context, this research, by undertaking a case study of the tourism in these destinations, provides a broader account of the role of tour guides in increasing the number of tourists to a tourist destination. The research also makes few recommendations in this connection along with future scope and opportunity of research.

Published: March 2021

شهدت السنوات القليلة الماضية تحولاَ في طريقة تقييم الأداء الاستراتيجي في المؤسسات، من خلال استخدام بطاقة الأداء المتوازن، وذلك بعد عدم جدوى الطرائق التقليدية في تحقيق الأهداف الاستراتيجية للمؤسسات، حيث كان أول ظهور لبطاقة الأداء المتوازن عام 1992 عندما طور كل من روبرت كابلان وديفيد نورتون نموذجا لقياس الأداء المتوازن حيث تم الربط بين الاستراتيجية والأداء عن طريق إيجاد علاقة بينهما، واحتوت هذه البطاقة على أربعة محاور أو أبعاد وهي (المحور المالي، العميل، العمليات الداخلية، التعلم والنمو). ويهدف  البحث الحالي إلى تعرف مدى استخدام بطاقة الأداء المتوازن في تقييم أداء الشركات الصناعية في الاقليم، من خلال دراسة تطبيقية لشركة ميتال درم لتصنيع البراميل إذ تم إخضاع قوائمها المالية لعامي (2017 - 2018) للدراسة والمقابلات الشخصية مع المعنيين بالشركة، وذلك بهدف تقييم أدائها فى ضوء الدراسة استنتج الباحثان : إن لعملية تقييم الأداء اهمية كبيرة في الوحدات الإقتصادية، لأن له دوراً كبيراً في تحقيق أهدافهم وتحسين منتجاتهم و تعزيز مكانتهم في سوق المنافسة ، إنه لا يمكن للوحدات الإقتصادية الإستفادة وتحقيق أهدافها الاستراتيجية بشكل متكامل من خلال استخدام الأداة المحاسبية التقليدية في عملية تقييم الأداء لأن تلك الأداة تعتمد فقط على مؤشرات مالية في عملية تقييم الأداء وبهذا الشكل لا تكون النتائج بصورة متكاملة، ولهذه الأسباب لاتتوفر للوحدات الإقتصادية رؤية مستقبلية والتأكد من بقائهم في المستقبل ومواجهة تلك المنافسة الشديدة المتواجدة في السوق. يقترح الباحثان عدم اعتماد المؤشرات المالية فقط في الوحدات الإقتصادية بل من الضروري الاعتماد على المؤشرات المالية و غير المالية معا في عملية تقييم الأداء لكي يتأكدوا من نتيجة أعمالهم و يوضح لهم بشكل كامل، وإن المؤشرات غير مالية لها أهمية كبيرة لايجب تجاهلها خلال القيام بعملية تقييم الأداء. كذلك يقترح الباحثان باستخدام بطاقة الأداء المتوازن (BSC) في تقييم الأداء، لأن كل فرد يشارك في تطبيقه مما يؤدي الى تنشيط الرقابة الداخلية وفعاليتها، لأن كل فرد اذا ادى واجبه بجد ودقة يترتب عليه تفادي نقاط ضعف الوحدة.

Persyaratan higiene sanitasi merupakan salah satu persyaratan standar mutu dan keamanan pangan yang wajib dilaksanakan oleh setiap pelaku usaha rumah makan dan restoran. Ini merupakan bentuk standardisasi TPM rumah makan dan restoran yang menghasilkan produk pangan olahan siap saji, dengan tujuan agar produk yang dihasilkan memenuhi standar dan aman dikonsumsi oleh konsumen. Bukti pemenuhan syarat adalah berupa sertifikat laik higiene sanitasi/sertifikat laik sehat. Pada kenyataannya, masih terdapat sejumlah kasus makanan dan minuman di rumah makan dan restoran. Padahal UUPK, UU Pangan, PP Keamanan Pangan, dan Kepmenkes No. 1098 Tahun 2003 sudah membebani pelaku usaha rumah makan dan restoran sejumlah kewajiban, larangan, dan ancaman sanksi atas hal tersebut. Artinya, masih ada pelaku usaha yang belum memahami betul arti penting dan/atau tidak melaksanakan persyaratan higiene sanitasi sebagaimana mestinya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif, dan secara spesifik dalam cakupan wilayah administrasi Jakarta Barat . Hasil penelitian ini menemukan bahwa: (1) Pembinaan dan pengawasan Sudinkes Jakbar memiliki peran penting dalam mendorong pelaku usaha rumah makan dan restoran memenuhi tanggung jawab administrasi atas pelanggaran yang dilakukannya; dan (2) Sudinkes Jakbar telah melaksanakan perannya dalam membina dan mengawasi pelaksanaan persyaratan higiene sanitasi rumah makan dan restoran sesuai dengan ketentuan aturan hukum yang berlaku.

Encoded universality from a single physical interaction
Authors: Kempe J. , Bacon D. , DiVincenzo D.P. , Whaley K.B.
Published: March 2021

We present a theoretical analysis of the paradigm of encoded universality, using a Lie algebraic analysis to derive specific conditions under which physical interactions can provide universality. We discuss the significance of the tensor product structure in the quantum circuit model and use this to define the conjoining of encoded qudits. The construction of encoded gates between conjoined qudits is discussed in detail. We illustrate the general procedures with several examples from exchange-only quantum computation. In particular, we extend our earlier results showing universality with the isotropic exchange interaction to the derivation of encoded universality with the anisotropic exchange interaction, i.e., to the XY model. In this case the minimal encoding for universality is into qutrits rather than into qubits as was the case for isotropic (Heisenberg) exchange. We also address issues of fault-tolerance, leakage and correction of encoded qudits.
Simulating arbitrary pair-interactions by a given Hamiltonian: graph-theoretical bounds on the time-complexity
Authors: Wocjan P. , Janzing D. , Beth T.
Published: March 2021

We consider a quantum computer consisting of n spins with an arbitrary but fixed pair-interaction Hamiltonian and describe how to simulate other pair-interactions by interspersing the natural time evolution with fast local transformations. Calculating the minimal time overhead of such a simulation leads to a convex optimization problem. Lower and upper bounds on the minimal time overhead are derived in terms of chromatic indices of interaction graphs and spectral majorization criteria. These results classify Hamiltonians with respect to their computational power. For a specific Hamiltonian, namely \sigma_z\otimes\sigma_z-interactions between all spins, the optimization is mathematically equivalent to a separability problem of n-qubit density matrices. We compare the complexity defined by such a quantum computer with the usual gate complexity.
The quantum state of a laser field
Authors: van Enk S.J. , Fuchs C.A.
Published: March 2021

Optical implementations of quantum communication protocols typically involve laser fields. However, the standard description of the quantum state of a laser field is surprisingly insufficient to understand the quantum nature of such implementations. In this paper, we give a quantum information-theoretic description of a propagating continuous-wave laser field and reinterpret various quantum-optical experiments in light of this. A timely example is found in a recent controversy about the quantum teleportation of continuous variables. We show that contrary to the claims of T. Rudolph and B.C. Sanders [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 077903 (2001)], a conventional laser can be used for quantum teleportation with continuous variables and for generating continuous-variable quantum entanglement. Furthermore, we show that optical coherent states do play a privileged role in the description of propagating laser fields even though they cannot be ascribed such a role for the intracavity field.

Published: March 2021

The producer, selling and utilisation of packed nourishments have supported a preeminent flood lately in India. Food labelling is one of the vital population-based methods that can help customers make beneficial food selections by offering essential information about the food on the packaging. The present study aims to assess the impact of front of package label design on consumer understanding of nutrient amounts among residents of the urban area in Chennai. A cross-sectional study was conducted in an urban area in Chennai. Four hundred participants were studied by convenient sampling method. Participants were from 18 years age and above. The study duration was about three months. A pretested and semi-structured questionnaire was given, and the desired information was elicited. Data was then analysed with the help of statistical package for the social sciences software (SPSS). Chi-square test was done to test the significance (p<0.05). The mean age was of the participants was found to be 27.52 ± 11SD. About 63% of participants preferred packed foods over unpacked foods. And 68% of participants have nutritional knowledge and looked into nutrition facts on the back of the pack. Association of gender and socioeconomic class with knowledge of participants were found to be insignificant. Association of occupation with the frequency of purchasing packed food products was significant. Many people look into the nutrition facts table and do not understand and fail to interpret. It is important to provide front of pack labels for better understanding of the consumers.

Published: March 2021

In this hospital based Case Control study, the patient population consisted of 100 patients of COPD admitted as an acute exacerbation, maximum number of patients of acute exacerbation 45% was in the age of 61-70 years, mean age was 66.44 ± 8.19 years. 74 patients were males, 71% of COPD patients were chronic smokers, 45 (45%) patients were in stage II, and 72% of patients of COPD exacerbation had hypomagnesaemia. In the control group, 99% of patients had normomagnesaemia. The incidence of hypomagnesaemia was 78% with acute exacerbation. The correlation of serum magnesium levels in exacerbation patients moreover, serum magnesium level stable COPD patients was significantly important. There was a significant correlation between hypomagnesaemia and GOLD staging in stage II and stage III, with a non-significant correlation between hypomagnesaemia and stage I and stage IV. The study concludes that COPD exacerbation is associated with hypomagnesaemia. Further studies are needed to find out the correlation between the staging of COPD and serum magnesium levels, and the effect of magnesium therapy in COPD exacerbation patients with hypomagnesaemia. Also, further studies are needed to find out possible aetiology of hypomagnesaemia in COPD exacerbation.
Legal Society Service of Pro-Bono on Migrant in Morocco in Law Perspective
Authors: El Khalfi Muhammad Amine
Published: March 2021

Morocco is a constitutional, democratic and social monarchy. The King is the Supreme Representative of the Nation and the Symbol of the unity thereof. He is the guarantor of the perpetuation and the continuity of the State. As Defender of the Faith, he ensures the respect for the Constitution. He is the Protector of the rights and liberties of the citizens, social groups and organizations. System Barriers to Pro Bono work result from the social environment of the judiciary and, more specifically, from the current practice of law in Morocco. The population generally has a low regard for the legal and judicial sector, and expects corruption in the judiciary. In Morocco, legal information is also not adequately disseminated to the public.[1] In addition, the low literacy rate 52.3% for the total population (39.6% for women, 65.7% for men) renders access to justice all the more difficult. A substantial proportion of the population is therefore vulnerable and may fall prey to unethical behavior. The Bar Association has great difficulty in supervising “homeless” lawyers, who are lawyers with no fixed business address and operate with a cellular telephone from undisclosed premises. Up to 800 of the 3,000 lawyers registered with the Casablanca Bar Association are reportedly “homeless” lawyers, who prey on the uninformed and often maintain frivolous suits in order to collect higher fees.[1] US Department of State, 2004 census <http://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/5431.htm accessed on January 10, 2021

Saussure and the Political Potential of Language
Authors: Kim Min Seong
Published: March 2021

Although the linguistic theory of Ferdinand de Saussure is widely recognised as the forerunner of structuralism, it is often treated in the humanities and social sciences today as a stepping stone toward more sophisticated, generalised semiotics and theories of discourse. As a result, social and political implications of Saussure’s original conception of language have frequently been underestimated. Drawing from the classic lecture Course in General Linguistics and the fragmented notes collected in Writings in General Linguistics, this article offers a reconstruction of the social and political dimensions that were present, albeit in an inchoate form, within Saussure’s own theorisation. To act as a foil to the reconstructed Saussurean position, this article calls upon an essay that charts the historical development of the concept of discourse authored by Ernesto Laclau, who is perhaps the most politically oriented thinker among the many inheritors of the Saussurean legacy.

Avaliação da eficiência geral de equipamento como suporte para gestão da qualidade
Authors: Santos Pedro Vieira Souza , Santos Lucas di Paula Gama dos
Published: March 2021

Avaliar o desempenho do processo produtivo e suas operações é um desafio para as empresas, a depender do contexto em que estão inseridas. Uma das formas de fazer tal avaliação é através do índice de eficiência geral do equipamento, o Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Trata-se de uma métrica chave da Manutenção Produtiva Total e do Lean Manufacturing que fornece uma estrutura geral para medir a eficiência da produção, considerando qualidade, performance e disponibilidade. Logo, diante do exposto, o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a relação entre o indicador OEE e a gestão da qualidade, em uma empresa calcinadora de gesso, localizada em Trindade/PE. Verificou-se, a partir dos resultados encontrados, que todos os equipamentos obtiveram valor do OEE abaixo de 65,0 % o que os classifica como não aceitáveis quando comparados com parâmetros indicados pela literatura. Com os dados do OEE utilizados como entrada ao processo de gestão da qualidade, o principal produto está na consolidação da competitividade, traduzida pela obtenção de melhor gestão de custos, melhoria no prazo de entrega e assim por diante, adquirindo a chamada vantagem competitiva. No entanto, as vantagens surgem apenas quando as máquinas são capazes de executar as operações com alta eficiência. Por isso, analisar e controlar o OEE é fundamental para incorporar políticas de qualidade na empresa.

Evaluation of general equipment efficiency as a support for quality management
Abstract
 
Assessing the performance of the production process and its operations is a challenge for companies, depending on the context in which they operate. One way to make such an assessment is through the equipment's overall efficiency index, the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). It is a key metric for Total Productive Maintenance and Lean Manufacturing that provides a general framework for measuring production efficiency, considering quality, performance and availability. Therefore, in view of the above, the present study aimed to assess the relationship between the OEE indicator and quality management, in a gypsum, calcining company located in Trindade/PE. It was found, from the results found, that all equipment obtained an OEE value below 65.0%, which classifies them as not acceptable when compared with parameters indicated by the literature. With the OEE data used as input to the quality management process, the main product is the consolidation of competitiveness, translated by obtaining better cost management, improving delivery times and so on, acquiring the so-called competitive advantage. However, the advantages arise only when the machines are able to perform operations with high efficiency. Therefore, analyzing and controlling the OEE is fundamental to incorporating quality policies in the company.

Pakistan is identified to be one of the next-11 the top emerging economies of the world after the BRICS. This emphasizes the establishment of a competitive electricity market that can fulfil the demand of the country considering the environmental concerns. In this scenario reliability of power is something that cannot be compromised. Dispatchable power stations play a major role in balancing supply and demand; this balance is essential for maintaining the power cuts free country. All dispatchable power stations incorporate some form of storage particularly thermal or chemical (i.e. a stored fuel).  Earlier dispatchable power was regarded as the generation which can start quickly and meet the peak demand requirements but arrival of renewables in power system has increased worth of its presence since it has just not to supply peak demand but also to meet during the unavailability of other renewable energy sources because of their intermittent behavior meanly at times of dark hours and slow wind speed. This study considers the viability of Concentrated Solar Thermal Power in Pakistan and thoroughly analyses several characteristics i.e., Availability of fuel, water, road and communication network, flexibility and environmental impacts of the technology for the cite of Tharparkar.

A FAILED INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE GREAT POWERS COMPETITION: THE NORTH CAUCASIAN STRUGGLE FOR INDEPENDENCE (1917-1920)
Authors: GÜLSEVEN Aslı
Published: March 2021

In the early twentieth century, with the collapse of the Tsarist government and the Bolsheviks coming to power, the North Caucasian independence struggle became inextricable. This article examines the role of great power competition in the North Caucasian independence movement in the early twentieth century. Focusing on the events between 1917 and 1920, this study analyses how the relations among the great powers and the local actors in the region shaped and directed the course of the events in the region. It explains the difficulties that the North Caucasians faced in the process of formation of 'The Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus,' and it seeks to indicate the reasons of the failure of the Mountaineers' attempt to form a unified republic. Benefiting from the Times newspaper's archives, this study explicates whether and how the Russian, German, British and Ottoman states contributed to the course of events that ended with the failure of the newly founded North Caucasian Republic.
