Published: February 2022

Expecting fairness living, prosperous and welfare life are some expectations of the citizen. Tax revenue becomes the national backbone of the state budget to finance the state expenditures. Many obstacles can challenge the target of tax revenue collection. This critical point needs an awareness collectively from all elements of the nation to get survive with a shortfall nation budget. One of the tax solutions is tax amnesty program becomes a national agenda. Tax amnesty program is expected could reach the huge tax target in 2016. Therefore, tax amnesty will greatly assist the government efforts to improve economic conditions, develop massive infrastructures, enhance the health quality, reduce unemployment, reduce poverty, and improve inequality. Those objectives should be conducted by the well-managed communication plan to socialize the tax amnesty program. The socialization can be delivered by seminar, forum group discussion, online newspapers, social media, personal email, website, etc. The various communication channels have been implemented to deliver the message to the public effectively. Accordingly, the aim of the study is to explore the public perception of tax amnesty, to figure out the effectivity of tax amnesty implementation. Tax amnesty would be more effective to embrace the taxpayers through persuasive approaches. This approach is more desirable. Taxpayers are accompanied as partners to cultivate their tax awareness. This research assessed that many taxpayers have less known regarding the tax amnesty. Indeed, taxpayers need to understand more deeply to the Tax Amnesty Program. Thus, it would conduct tax compliance manner eventually.

Authors:   Lecturer, Department of German Philology, National University of Uzbekistan named after Mirzo Ulugbek, Uzbekistan, Khafizov Gayrat
Published: February 2022

The science of phraseology is very important in literary criticism, as well as in the deep mastery of German and Uzbek, for the writer, it is one of the most complex areas, which is always needed for a lifetime for a specialist scholar. In particular, the correct use of phraseological words in the translation from German into Uzbek can preserve the idea, art, vitality, nationality of the work and, most importantly, raise the level of literature. In this regard this article discusses the importance of phraseology in the in-depth study of the German language. Therefore, in teaching students the German language in depth, it is important to teach them the basics of phraseology from the very beginning. Given the complexity of the German language, it is important that translators and specialists use phraseology correctly when translating German into Uzbek.
SCYTHO-GERMANIC LEXICAL PARALLELS FROM THE FIRST VOLUME OF V.I. ABAEV'S "HISTORICAL AND ETYMOLOGICAL DICTIONARY"
Authors:   National University of Uzbekistan named after Mirzo Ulugbek, Uzbekistan, Tyan Natalya Viktorovna
Published: February 2022

Since the term "Scytho-European/Germanic isogloss" is only found in the last three volumes, it makes sense to examine them more closely. A feature of the dictionary is that V.I. Abaev does not always use the terminology "Scytho-European" or "Scytho-Germanic isogloss" when describing vocabulary. The fundamental "Historical and Etymological Dictionary of the Ossetian Language" in 4 volumes (1958 - 1989) is one of the main works of Doctor of Philology, Professor Abaev Vasily Ivanovich (Abaiti Vaso). It traces the etymology and history of Ossetian words, and the external relations of the Ossetian language with Indo-European and non-Indo-European languages

Are some effector systems harder to switch to? In search of cost asymmetries when switching between manual, vocal, and oculomotor tasks
Authors: Hoffmann Mareike A. , Koch Iring , Huestegge Lynn
Published: February 2022

In task-switching studies, performance is typically worse in task-switch trials than in task-repetition trials. These switch costs are often asymmetrical, a phenomenon that has been explained by referring to a dominance of one task over the other. Previous studies also indicated that response modalities associated with two tasks may be considered as integral components for defining a task set. However, a systematic assessment of the role of response modalities in task switching is still lacking: Are some response modalities harder to switch to than others? The present study systematically examined switch costs when combining tasks that differ only with respect to their associated effector systems. In Experiment 1, 16 participants switched (in unpredictable sequence) between oculomotor and vocal tasks. In Experiment 2, 72 participants switched (in pairwise combinations) between oculomotor, vocal, and manual tasks. We observed systematic performance costs when switching between response modalities under otherwise constant task features and could thereby replicate previous observations of response modality switch costs. However, we did not observe any substantial switch-cost asymmetries. As previous studies using temporally overlapping dual-task paradigms found substantial prioritization effects (in terms of asymmetric costs) especially for oculomotor tasks, the present results suggest different underlying processes in sequential task switching than in simultaneous multitasking. While more research is needed to further substantiate a lack of response modality switch-cost asymmetries in a broader range of task switching situations, we suggest that task-set representations related to specific response modalities may exhibit rapid decay.

Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Poor food quality and choices are a major concern in the modern life style and increased consumption of sweetened and artificially sweetened beverages have been implicated as contributing factors for obesity. The objective of this study is to determine the association between the consumption of artificially sweetened beverages and changes in body mass index among children.

METHODOLOGY: Data on the consumption of artificially sweetened beverages consumption and BMI for 13,287 children was analyzed for exposure and outcome from Millennium Cohort Study (MCS). The association between frequency of ASB consumption and BMI was quantified using demographics and linear regression analysis. The linear regression analysis was done adjusting demographic, socioeconomic variables and confounding factors of frequency of physical activity. Regression analysis was conducted using survey weights to account for the complex sampling design.

RESULTS:  Adjusted linear regression for demographical and socioeconomic variables showed that more frequent consumption of ASB was associated with a significant increase in BMI. As the frequency of ASB increased, BMI significantly increased by 0.69-1.06 units in categories (p<0.01). Regression analysis adjusted for frequency of physical activity also showed an increase of BMI by 0.36 units (p<0.01) with the highest frequency of ASB consumption.

CONCLUSION: Higher consumption of artificially sweetened beverages causes an increase in BMI among UK children.

Review question / Objective: The aim of this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term use of different kinds of probiotics for the management of office and ambulatory blood pressure. Condition being studied: Despite major advances in the identification of key pathophysiologic mechanisms and in treatment, hypertension remains one of the most important causes of acute and chronic cardiovascular diseases. Animal and human studies have shown that the imbalance in the abundance, diversity and evenness of certain microbiota species is associated with hypertension. However, the impact of probiotics on blood pressure and which kind of probiotics have the greatest impact on blood pressure are still uncertain. Thus, we conducted this meta-analysis to investigate the effect of long-term probiotic consumption (> 8 weeks) on blood pressure.

Review question / Objective: Currently, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with ILM peeling is the gold standard treatment for full thickness macular hole (FTMH). Despite of the high macular hole closure rate, a refractory FTMH may occur. The next step for a recurrent or persistent MH is usually repeat PPV with extended ILM peeling. This is not always an option especially with high myopia patients or those who had already undergone an aggressive ILM peeling at initial surgery. A variety of novel techniques have been developed to address this issue, among which human amniotic membrane seems to be a promising adjuvant. However, there are still uncertainties regarding the integration and the long-term effects of of the graft.

Статья посвящена исследованию влияния асфальтенов, смол и парафинов на показатели свойств нефтей. Борьба с отложениями асфальто-смоло-парафинов усложняется в связи с недостаточной изученностью механизма их формирования, их влияния на показатели свойств нефтей, в частности, температуру насыщения нефти парафином, при изучении закономерностей которых, как показывают исследования, наблюдается отсутствие единого мнения. Выполнены обобщение и анализ методов и методических подходов при оценке влияния асфальтенов, смол и парафинов на температуру насыщения нефти парафином. Проведен анализ накопленных результатов экспериментальных исследований для Урало-Поволжья. Для облегчения прогнозной оценки на основе рассмотренных частных зависимостей путем их обобщения и статистического анализа построена общая зависимость температуры насыщения нефти залежей парафином от концентраций асфальтенов, смол, высокомолекулярных парафинов соответственно. Для получения такой зависимости вначале выбраны аналитические аппроксимации частных зависимостей, которые впоследствии обобщены известными в математической статистике методами путем их переумножения. В результате отмеченных преобразований получено уточненное выражение. Расчеты по полученному выражению дают удовлетворительные результаты. Отмеченное выражение может быть использовано при ориентировочных расчетах. При этом относительная погрешность колеблется в пределах 4 – 16 %, что позволяет применять данное выражение. Для получения более точных прогнозных данных о значениях температуры насыщения нефти парафином необходимы постановка и проведение более детальных, расширенных экспериментальных исследований. Следует отметить, что знание температуры насыщения нефти парафином необходимо для контроля продукции в процессе добычи и принятия необходимого решения по предотвращению и профилактике образования АСПО.

Целью данного исследования было выделение и изучение компонентного состава нефтебитуминозной породы месторождения Койкара, а также выявление закономерности изменения элементного и компонентного составов в зависимости от глубины залегания нефтебитуминозной породы и ректификация изучаемой нефтебитуминозной породы на установке АРН-2. В отличие от Канады месторождения нефтебитуминозных пород Западного Казахстана разбросаны на значительной территории, например, только в Жылыойском районе Атырауской области недалеко от города Кульсары сосредоточено более 20 месторождений нефтебитуминозных пород. Нами была составлена карта, где представлены месторождения этих нефтебитуминозных пород. Комплекс наших лабораторных исследований включает следующие этапы: 1) образцы нефтебитуминозной породы, периодически перемешивая, подвергают воздушной просушке под вытяжным шкафом, 2) после воздушной просушки, образцы нефтебитуминозной породы, периодически перемешивая, загружают в сушильный шкаф при температуре 50±5, 3)после сушильного шкафа образцы нефтебитуминозной породы загружают в лабораторную шаровую мельницу и дробят, 4) затем образцы нефтебитуминозной породыупаковывают в тройной слой фильтровальной бумаги, перевязывают капроновой нитью и загружают в аппарат Сокслета.Извлечение природного битума из нефтебитуминозной породы проводят смесью элюентов: этиловый спирт (ректификат) и бензол в соотношении 1:3. Извлечение природного битума продолжают до тех пор, пока элюенты не станут прозрачными. После сушки регистрируют процентный выход природного битума. Затем элементный состав, молекулярную массу и компонентный состав природного битума определяют традиционными методами. Из результатов полученных экспериментальных данных следует, что с углублением залегания породы меняется компонентный углеводородный состав природного битума, т.е. содержание масел уменьшается (с 8,3 до 7,0 % масс.), а смол увеличивается (с 40,7 до 43,1 % масс.), что отражается на снижении молекулярной массы (с 528 до 512 а.е.м.), а температура размягчения природного битума понижается (с 26 до 22°С).

Authors: Kiiko Yurii
Published: February 2022

The speeding business operations and the necessity for strategically-oriented activities determine the relevance of research in the domain of business audit, including marketing. Given the feasibility of studying these aspects of internal control, the objective of this paper is to improve the existing methods of client portfolio analysis as well as theoretically justify new methods and ways of analysis and internal audit. According to the results of the study, the methods of ABC and XYZ analysis were amended and adapted for use in the banking sector, where ABC is based on ranking customers according to the operating and transaction income, and XYZ studies the frequency and regularity of transactions conducted by bank customers. The improved indicators applied to measure the profitable activity of a client’s portfolio in general and in terms of profit centres (business lines) enable to promptly identify a decline in the profitability of certain groups of customers,reveal its causes and offer effective solutions. The reorganization of the analytical part for client portfolio management and the implementation of ABC and XYZ analysis as well as other methodological approaches allow to monitor the dynamics of a bank’s client portfolio quality as quickly and effortlessly as possible. Analytical mechanisms for determining the quality of the bank’s client portfolio is one of the basic elements of internal audit, and this study proposes the optimal form of the internal auditor’s working document, which is best adapted to the needs of auditing business units, their quality and efficiency.

Published: February 2022

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effect of splenectomy on radiation-mediated growth inhibition and immune modulation in lung cancer xenograft models. Materials and Methods: Human non-small cell lung cancer H1299 cells and murine Lewis lung carcinoma LL/2-luc cells were injected into the right hind leg of BALB/c-nude mice and C57BL/6 mice, respectively. Splenectomy or sham operation was performed prior to tumor cell injection or before and after irradiation during tumor growth. Irradiation was delivered with 2–3 fractions of 6 Gy X-ray using a linear accelerator. Flow cytometry analysis was performed for immune cell profiling.Results: Splenectomy prior to tumor injection or at early stage inhibited growth of LL/2-luc tumors but not that of H1299 tumors; however, it did not enhance the antitumor effect of radiation regardless of intervention timing. Flow cytometry analysis showed monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and activated CD8+ T cells increased after irradiation in the tumors of splenectomized mice, compared to those of sham-operated mice. Administration of anti-PD-1 (programmed death-1) antibodies improved the ability of splenectomy to attenuate the growth of irradiated tumors.Conclusion: Splenectomy has paradoxical effects on radiation-induced tumor growth inhibition, depending on tumor types and intervention timing, but it has an immune-modulating effect when combined with radiation.

Published: February 2022

In the Croatian fauna, horseflies (Tabanidae) are represented by 78 species belonging to two subfamilies, five tribes, and 10 genera. Identification of these species is based on morphological characteristics. In this study, 43 species of horseflies were analyzed. The highest number of species (19) belongs to the genus Tabanus, followed by the genera Hybomitra with seven species, Haematopota with six species, Chrysops with four species, Atylotus and Philipomyia with two species each, and the genera Silvius, Dasyrhamphis, and Heptatoma with one species each. The standard DNA barcoding region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase gene, subunit I (COI), was sequenced and compared to the Barcode of Life Database (BOLD). Our analyses confirmed our morphological identifications and added 16 new Barcode Index Numbers (BINs) for Tabanidae to BOLD. Potential problems in the systematics and taxonomy of this family are highlighted.
Trade in Electricity and Business Investment: Two Aspects of the Aluminium Industry in Canada
Authors: Unger Richard W.
Published: February 2022

Depuis longtemps, le Canada est l’un des principaux producteurs d’aluminium primaire et d’hydroélectricité. Aussi bien les gouvernements provinciaux que le gouvernement fédéral, dans une dynamique d’encouragement de la production d’aluminium, ont généralement accompagné toutes les actions menées dans ce secteur d’un ensemble de mesures d’encadrement dans le but d’accroître l’industrialisation, la production d’aluminium n’ayant été ciblée spécifiquement que récemment. Bénéficiant du développement de la production au début du vingtième siècle, le fabricant de métaux en position de monopole possédait également les installations de production d’électricité nécessaires. Ce mode de fonctionnement est devenu moins répandu à partir du milieu du XX e  siècle. Il semblait logique de penser que les exportations d’aluminium, qui par définition ajoutent de la valeur à l’électricité, supplanteraient les ventes d’électricité sur les marchés étrangers, mais cela ne s’est pas produit. Les exportations d’aluminium et d’électricité ont augmenté ensemble, s’inscrivant dans un processus général de développement économique. Ce schéma était l’objectif des politiques instituées à la fin du XIX e  siècle, visant à soutenir le nationalisme économique, à l’instar des pratiques courantes des derniers arrivés dans l’ère de l’industrialisation.

Published: February 2022

This paper focuses on the problem of fault detection filtering (FDF) for continuous-time singular systems via a dynamic event-triggered mechanism. Firstly, in order to reduce signal transmission and save network resources, a dynamic event-triggered mechanism is adopted. Compared with the static mechanism, the proposed method is more effective on reducing network transmission pressure since a dynamic variable is introduced. Secondly, a novel criterion is derived to guarantee the admissibility of the residual system with a certain \begin{document}$ \mathcal{H}_\infty $\end{document} performance. According to the derived conditions, a new method is given to codesign the desired filter and the event-triggered parameters. Finally, an example is employed to illustrate the validity of the proposed approach.

While millions of people around the world die from natural water infections per day because of insufficient wastewater collection systems to cover all communities, 80 percent of used water is still released to the river in Thailand nowadays. As a result, the wastewater management (WWM) behavior of people is critical to water conservation. WWM, on the other hand, was fraught with high expenses and inconvenient installation, and earlier research had paid little attention to it. Thus, this research aims to study the socio-economic, cognition, opinions, and perception of information factors for analysis further of the factors affecting the WWM of people in urban areas, Thailand. This study applied multiple regression analysis from questionnaires survey of nine communities in Krathum Baen municipality, Samut Sakhon Province which is a semi-industrial area, crowded settlement, and risen wastewater unexpectedly along the Tha Chin River. The findings reveal that people in study areas have a moderate level of cognition and opinion toward WWM behavior. Perception of information was the best variable to describe the people's WWM behaviors in urban areas. Addressing the empirical results could contribute to water conservation planning, people engagement, and appropriately promoting WWM behaviors related to urban people.

This work aims to verify and correct the boundary between two landscapes—moraine and outwash plain—delineated earlier by the classical landscape approach. The initial interpretation of the boundary caused controversy due to the appearance of the thermokarst depression in the outwash landscape. The lithological structure is one of the main factors of landscape differentiation. The classical approach includes drilling to obtain the lithological and sedimentary data. However, the boreholes are usually shallow, while geophysical methods allow to look deeper into the subsurface and improve our knowledge about lithological structure and stratigraphy. In this study, we use ground-penetrating radar with a peak frequency of 250 and 50 MHz and detailed electrical resistivity tomography (with 1 m electrode spacing) in addition to the landscape mapping and drilling to correct the landscape boundary position. We conclude that it is primarily defined by the subsurface boundary between lithological complexes of clayish moraine deposits and sandy outwash deposits located at 7 m depth. Moving the boundary to the northeast by 70–100 m from the current position removes inconsistencies and clarifies the history of the area's formation in the Quaternary.

In this study, we give the notions about some new post-quantum partial derivatives and then use these derivatives to prove an integral equality via post-quantum double integrals. We establish some new post-quantum Ostrowski type inequalities for differentiable coordinated functions using the newly established equality. We also show that the results presented in this paper are the extensions of some existing results.
Emergence of synchronization in Kuramoto model with frustration under general network topology
Authors: Zhu Tingting
Published: February 2022

In this paper, we will study the emergent behavior of Kuramoto model with frustration on a general digraph containing a spanning tree. We provide a sufficient condition for the emergence of asymptotical synchronization if the initial data are confined in half circle. As lack of uniform coercivity in general digraph, we apply the node decomposition criteria in [25] to capture a clear hierarchical structure, which successfully yields the dissipation mechanism of phase diameter and an invariant set confined in quarter circle after some finite time. Then the dissipation of frequency diameter will be clear, which eventually leads to the synchronization.
Intelligent Anti-Jamming Decision Algorithm of Bivariate Frequency Hopping Pattern Based on DQN With PER and Pareto
Authors: Zhu Jiasheng , Zhao Zhijin , Zheng Shilian
Published: February 2022

To improve the anti-jamming performance of frequency hopping system in complex electromagnetic environment, a Deep Q-Network algorithm with priority experience replay (PER) based on Pareto samples (PPER-DQN) is proposed, which makes intelligent decision for bivariate FH pattern. The system model, state-action space and reward function are designed based on the main parameters of the FH pattern. The DQN is used to improve the flexibility of the FH pattern. Based on the definition of Pareto dominance, the PER based on the TD-error and immediate reward is proposed. To ensure the diversity of the training set, it is formed by Pareto sample set and several random samples. When selecting Pareto sample, the confidence coefficient is introduced to modify its priority. It guarantees the learning value of the training set and improves the learning efficiency of DQN. The simulation results show that the efficiency, convergence speed and stability of the algorithm are effectively improved. And the generated bivariate FH pattern has better performance than the conventional FH pattern.

This paper hypothesize that harmful utterances need to be judged in context of whole sentences, and extract features of harmful expressions using a general-purpose language model. Based on the extracted features, we propose a method to predict the presence or absence of harmful categories. In addition, the authors believe that it is possible to analyze users who incite others by combining this method with research on analyzing the personality of the speaker from statements on social networking sites. The results confirmed that the proposed method can judge the possibility of harmful comments with higher accuracy than simple dictionary-based models or models using a distributed representations of words. The relationship between personality patterns and harmful expressions was also confirmed by an analysis based on a harmful judgment model.

Published: February 2022

This study analyzes the economic and environmental performance of OECD countries over 2000–2019. A by-production approach is applied and the efficiency score is decomposed into its economic and environmental components. Unlike previous studies, we apply a refined model that allows for the correct modeling of by-production technology. The refined model can provide clear economic illustrations for balancing economic growth and environmental protection. The results indicate that environmental inefficiency is higher than the potential economic improvement. The environmental efficiency of OECD countries is improving, while economic performance is worsening over time. Therefore, instead of highly polluting energy, clean energy should be used to build a low-carbon economy. Worldwide, carbon-emitting countries and developed countries should shoulder their responsibilities to reduce carbon emissions and provide emission reduction funds for developing countries, while simultaneously sharing the green production technologies needed to reduce emissions.

Published: February 2022

Solution Spray Pyrolysis (SST) was successfully implemented to fabricate thin perovskite and fluorite films on dense Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) and Lanthanum Strontium Ferrate (LSF70) substrates. These composite structures are ubiquitous in solid oxide fuel cells and electrolyzers, CO gas sensors and ceramic membranes. With this technique, successful in situ manipulation of the film’s functional characteristics such as porosity and thickness is easily achieved by adjusting its functional parameters.In the present contribution, we report on the optimization of the physicochemical parameters of this open atmosphere technique with respect to the substrate temperature and deposition time for the fabrication of films of suitable morphology. Sintered films were characterized by XRD and SEM while thermal analysis was performed on the precursor salts. In addition, AC Impedance analysis was performed on some CGO films in order to assess their electron blocking capability in contact with the LSF substrates.

Silicon-based materials are significant candidates for electronic and optoelectronic applications because of their high electron and hole mobility. Si1-xGex,Si1-xSnxand Ge1-xSnxare currently hot materials in the field of fabricanting silicon-based light-emitting sources. At present, GeSn has been experimentally proved to have a direct band gap structure and achieve photoluminescence. But the more practical electroluminescence has not been realized. There are two reasons of these: one is the cost of experiment is high, which makes it impossible to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth study on these materials; Additionally, the variational laws of the lattice constants have not been reported due to the lack of theoretical and experimental data. In this paper, the lattice constants and bowing factor of Si1-xGex, Si1-xSnxand Ge1-xSnxhave been studied by the first-principles method based on density functional theory (DFT) combined with the Special Quasirandom Structures (SQS) and hybrid function of Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof (HSE) functional correction. Comparing the calculated data with the reported theoretical and experimental data, the results show our method is more accurate. In addition, the lattice constant fitting formulas of Si1-xGex, Si1-xSnxand Ge1-xSnxare given, it shows Si1-xSnxcan reduce the lattice mismatch when Si1-xSnxas the buffer between Si and GeSn alloy.
