Brief Overview of Modelling Methods, Life-Cycle and Application Domains of Cyber-Physical Systems
Authors: Babris Kristaps , Nikiforova Oksana , Sukovskis Uldis
Published: June 2019

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are systems that connect the physical world with the virtual world of information processing. They consist of various components that work together to create some global behaviour. These components include software systems, communication technologies and sensors, executive mechanisms that interact with the real world, often including embedded technologies. One CPS may include a variety of components from different manufacturers or service providers, often without even knowing that their products and services are integrated with others as a result of CPS. This paper systematises information about CPS modelling methods and domains and presents the CPS modelling cycle – from abstraction to architecture and from concept to realisation.
The prevalence of under-nutrition among the tribal children in India: a systematic review
Authors: Dey Uposoma , Bisai Samiran
Published: June 2019

Tribal population of India constitutes 8.6% of the total population. They are more susceptible to undernutrition which is recognized as a prevalent health problem mainly because of their uncertainty of food supply, which has serious long term consequences for the child and adversely influences the development of the nation. The assessment of nutritional status is paramount importance because it impels to identify malnutrition which is an aggravation of morbidity and mortality. This review was aimed to find out the overall nutritional status of tribal preschool children. It also seek the major socio-cultural causes which influence the nutritional status from bio-cultural perspectives among the tribal children in India in order to make foundation of new research. In the present review, 41 papers on nutritional status of tribal preschool children published from January 1st 2000 till date, have been identified and included for analysis. To analyze the data, meta-analysis was done using MedCalc software. The meta-analysis revealed the average rate of prevalence of underweight, stunting and wasting among the preschool tribal children of India was 42.96%; 44.82% and 23.69%. Among the 41 different studies these rates vary among the different tribal groups of different states associated with their socio-economic status (10%), their cultures of food consumption (10%), maternal education (15%), child feeding practices (20%), dietary deficit during pregnancy (25%) and poor nutrition of the child (52%). Prevalence rate of under-nutrition and stunting is relatively high in comparison to WHO in India whereas, rate of wasting was lower in comparison to national level which reflect that immediate nutritional status was poor but chronic deficiency of nutrition was less. Nutritional education and short term appropriately planned nutritional intervention programs may also be useful for enhancing their nutritional status.
Non-metric traits, physiological stress indicators and paleopathological lesion on human skeletal remains from an early modern cemetery in Wyszyński Street, Wrocław, Poland (15th–18th centuries AD)
Authors: Tomaszewska Agnieszka , Kwiatkowska Barbara
Published: June 2019

The anthropological analysis and assessment of the living conditions of historical populations should be comprehensive. Due to the scarcity of the well-preserved skeletal remains of a population buried at the cemetery in Wyszyński Street, Wrocław, each piece of information is particularly important in providing the complementary information about living and health conditions of late medieval and early modern inhabitants of Wrocław. This study aims to assess the living conditions of the late medieval and early modern Wrocław inhabitants. This aim was reached by analyzing the frequency of non-metrical cranial and postcranial traits, physiological stress indicators, and pathological lesions. The importance of these traits for population studies is also discussed. For 98 skeletons (22.4% male and 37.8% female) from a cemetery located in Wyszyński Street, (15th –18th centuries AD), the frequencies (p) of the following traits were analyzed: 38 non-metric cranial and 9 post-cranial traits, the morphological indicators of physiological stress (i.e. cribra orbitalia and enamel hypoplasia), caries and pathological lesions on bones. Among the non-metric cranial traits, only nine (23.7%) were not observed. The most frequent (from p= 0.30 to p=0.65) were foramen parietale, incisura frontalis accesoria seu foramen frontale accesorius, foramen supraorbitale, M3 mandibulare, ossicula suturae lambdoideae, and foramen mastoideum extrasuturale. Only three non-metric post-cranial traits were observed, but with low frequency (p=0.01 and 0.02). Cribra orbitalia was present in 37.0% of the skeletons while enamel hypoplasia was present in only 2.6%. Susceptibility to caries occurred in 68% of the cases while carries lesions occurred in 31.2%. Among pathological changes, the most frequent were degenerative changes (21.6%) and injuries (19.6%). Owing to the poorly preserved remains, the complete assessment of the living conditions of the population was difficult. The number of the observed traits would have probably increased, had the number of complete and well-preserved skeletons been higher. The results of the study suggest that the living conditions of the studied population were poor. It is hypothesized that the cemetery was a burial place for prisoners and victims of various epidemics that affected the city. But since the historical sources of this cemetery are scarce, it is hard to unequivocally state its purpose with certainty.
Social Explanation: Structures, Stories, and Ontology. A Reply to Díaz León, Saul, and Sterken
Authors: Haslanger Sally
Published: June 2019

In response to commentaries by Esa Díaz León, Jennifer Saul, and Ra- chel Sterken, I develop more fully my views on the role of structure in social and metaphysical explanation. Although I believe that social agency, quite generally, occurs within practices and structures, the relevance of structure depends on the sort of questions we are asking and what interventions we are considering. The emphasis on questions is also relevant in considering metaphysical and meta-metaphysical is- sues about realism with respect to gender and race. I aim to demon- strate that tools we develop in the context of critical social theory can change the questions we ask, what forms of explanation are called for, and how we do philosophy.
Do We Need Propositions?
Authors: Barnes Gordon
Published: June 2019

Trenton Merricks argues that we need propositions to serve as the premises and conclusions of modally valid arguments (Merricks 2015). A modally valid argument is an argument in which, necessarily, if the premises are true, then the conclusion is also true. According to Mer- ricks, the premises and conclusions of modally valid arguments have their truth conditions essentially, and they exist necessarily. Sentences do not satisfy these conditions. Thus, we need propositions. Merricks’ argument adds a new chapter to the longstanding debate over the exis- tence of propositions. However, I argue that Merricks’ argument does not quite succeed. Merricks has overlooked one viable alternative to pos- tulating propositions. However, this alternative employs the relation of being true-at-a-world, which is difficult to analyze. Thus, the soundness of Merricks’ argument ultimately depends on the comparative merits of accepting propositions as abstract entities, versus accepting truth-at-a- world as an unanalyzed relation between sentences and possible worlds.
Dynamics of Selected Soil Quality Indicators in Response to Land Use/Cover and Elevation Variations in Wanka Watershed, Northwestern Ethiopian Highlands
Authors: Abera Wondwosen , Assen Mohammed
Published: June 2019

Soil quality (SQ) dynamics assessment vis-à-vis land use/land cover (LULC) and elevation variations in Ethiopia is desirable as elevation impact on land use is highly pronounced. This study examined SQ indicators dynamics across LULC and elevation variations. For this, surface soil samples (0−20 cm) were collected from the recognized LULC categories of different elevations in Wanka watershed, northwestern Ethiopian highlands. Both disturbed and undisturbed soil samples that were taken from three adjacent LULC (natural forest, grazing and cultivated lands) and elevation (2238–2300, 2400–2600, and 2700–2800) classes analysed for the selected physico-chemical SQ indicators. Two-way ANOVA, Tukey’s multiple comparison test and SQ deterioration index were computed. The impact of LULC and elevation was found significant on key SQ indicators. In cultivated and grazing lands, soil organic matter (SOM) and soil nutrients like total nitrogen declined significantly (p < 0.01). Conversely, bulk density increased significantly (p < 0.01). The divalent basic cations (Ca2+ and Mg2+), cation exchange capacity and pH significantly (p < 0.01) decreased in upper elevation. Synergetic effect of LULC and elevation variations was found significant (p < 0.01) on SOM, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, water content at field capacity and soil particle distribution (silt and clay). Thus, elevation specific land management strategies that improve these SQ indicators need to be emphasized.
The Application of Directional Univariate Structure Functions Analysis for Studying the Spatial Anisotropy of Environmental Variables
Authors: Svidzinska Daria
Published: June 2019

As anisotropy is a fundamental property of the real-world environmental spatial variables, the conventional omnidirectional variograms and correlograms do not provide means enough to characterise spatial dependence between observations. The purpose of this article is to introduce directional univariate structure functions analysis to explore and quantify the spatial anisotropy of environmental variables. Analysis of six environmental variables within three physical–geographical regions proved the leading role of relief for landscape differentiation; it also defined the size and extension of major landforms responsible for the organisation of spatial pattern. The arrangement of the vegetation patches demonstrated linkage with the major landforms. The other relief derivatives, being prone to noise and artefacts in the original data, showed a random-variable type of behaviour. In the lack of any particular spatially anisotropic structure, the results of the analysis can provide a clue about meaningful distances of interest at finer scales. The approach can also be an exploratory tool for discrete measurements to recognise the features of spatial continuity.
The Influence of Transport Infrastructure Development on Bird Diversity and Abundance
Authors: Rashidi Maryam , Chamani Atefeh , Moshtaghi Minoo
Published: June 2019

In recent decades, detrimental effects of roads have been the focus of numerous studies. Roadways have various negative effects, such as habitat fragmentation, noise and air pollution, on bird communities. This study was aimed to investigate the effects of traffic noise on the bird’s abundance during autumn period. Field operations were performed in a forest located parallel to a main high-traffic highway. The bird’s abundance was recorded using a point counting method at 27 points along three transects (65, 335 and 605 m from the road). The counting at each point was conducted every five minutes and repeated once every week (12 times during autumn). Environmental indices including the number of trees with DBH of over 20 cm, the number of standing dead trees, canopy cover percentage and Leq 30 were also measured. A total of 2950 bird belonging to 30 species were observed. The number of dominant species (more than 10) in the area considerably changed as the distance from the road increased. Leq 30 had the greatest correlation coefficient with bird abundance. Therefore, traffic noise has negative effects on the bird’s abundance in this area.

Selected Practical Aspects of Communication Diagnosis in the Industrial Network
Authors: Bednarek Marcin , Dąbrowski Tadeusz , Olchowik Wiktor
Published: June 2019

Industrial networks combine elements of distributed control systems: process stations, operator stations and engineering stations. DCS stations often communicate using a dedicated, closed communication protocol. The industrial networks can be also used to manage communication between the stations of various systems, separate in terms of configuration. The process station communicates here with an external operator station, that is the SCADA system. For this purpose, the process stations and the SCADA systems can also communicate according to standard communication protocols, e.g. Modbus TCP. The paper examines the selected variants of diagnosing the communication status between the process station and the external operator station conducted according to the Modbus TCP protocol. The practical methods of finding the communication system unfitness causes are discussed.
Intercultural competence of university teachers: a challenge of internationalization
Authors: Zelenková Anna , Hanesová Dana
Published: June 2019

The aim of the authors is to respond to the growing demands on the intercultural competence of university teachers due to intensified internationalization pressures on higher education, especially due to the growing number of students and teachers’ international exchanges. They report on an intercultural course design responding to this need, presenting a case study from Slovakia. First, they define the need of intercultural competence of university teachers, especially those teaching in English-medium study programmes. Then they share a) findings from a needs analysis preceding the design of a new curriculum for an intercultural competence course (ICC) at Matej Bel University (MBU) with three aims (development of linguistic, cultural and pedagogic competences); and b) results from action research during piloting the ICC course. A comparison of 2011 and 2018 surveys pointed to the growing dominance of the English language, including an increasing command of English by MBU teachers. The ICC curriculum, tailored to the pre-identified teachers’ needs, proved to be a feasible way of facilitating their intercultural competence. Its implementation revealed persistent prejudices and difficulties associated with overcoming them. It also confirmed a significant deficit in preparing university teachers for their role as intercultural mediators in English-medium courses.

The Importance of Intercultural Communicative Competences for Tourism Labour Market: Students’ Views and their Self-Assessment
Authors: Sándorová Zuzana
Published: June 2019

The present paper is founded on two pillars. Firstly, it is one of the current trends in education worldwide, i.e. to connect theory and practice. Secondly, it is the need to be interculturally competent speakers of a foreign language in today’s globalized world of massive migration flows and signs of increasing ethnocentrism. Based upon these two requirements, the ability to communicate in a FL effectively and interculturally appropriately in the tourism industry is a must, since being employed in whichever of its sectors means encountering other cultures on a daily basis. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to find out undergraduate tourism students’ opinion on the importance of intercultural communicative competences for their future profession as well as their self-assessment in the given field. The findings of the research, which are to be compared to employers’ needs, revealed that there is considerable difference between the respondents’ views on the significance of the investigated issues and their self-esteem.
Love and Sexuality in Later Life: What Your Grandparents are not Telling You
Authors: Bulcroft Kris A.
Published: June 2019

In a study of dating in later life, conducted in the Midwest in the United States, in which a sample of people age 60+ were interviewed regarding their dating behaviors and perceived functions of dating at this stage in the life course, preliminary evidence suggests that middle-generation offspring took on the role of gatekeepers of sexual standards of conduct and cohabitation outside marriage. Concomitantly, the older generation displayed modified attitudes about sexuality outside marriage in keeping with the opportunity structures available to them as part of the dating experience. When this paper was published in 1986 there were few studies of later life intimacy and dating, and the focus was on the older daters rather than on extended family or social network implications of dating in later life. Since my study in the mid-1980’s, research has flourished on later life dating and intimacy, but the focus continues to be on the dyad rather than exploring intergenerational family relationships and changes that result from re-coupling in later life. This paper will explore the adult child-older parent relationship in which the older person is dating and posit research questions based on two conceptual areas and one theoretical perspective – stereotyping of older people, transmission of values across generations, and social exchange theory – on which to build future studies of intergenerational relationships. This review of the literature will assist in understanding the middle generation’s response to an older parent’s dating and courtship behavior as well as consider why conflicts about later life dating between adult children and older parents are more likely under certain family conditions. Exploration of the literature on later life dating that has resulted since our 1986 study, coupled with theoretical underpinnings, is intended to help scholars in this area of study conduct research that will be more generalizable and theory-based.

Peranan vitamin D pada patofisiologi obesitas masih menjadi pro dan kontra di kalangan ilmuwan. Hubungan antara obesitas dengan rendahnya konsentrasi 25 (OH) D3 tampaknya sudah sangat jelas, meskipun mekanisme mengenai rendahnya konsentrasi 25 (OH) D3 masih belum jelas, begitu pula akibat yang ditimbulkan dari rendahnya kadar 25(OH) D3 tersebut. Tujuan dari penulisan ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana metabolism vitamin D yang terjadi pada tubuh penderita obes, sehingga dapat menjelaskan faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan terjadinya defisiensi vitamin D pada obesitas. Adapun metode penulisannya adalah melalui studi literatur artikel tentang defisiensi vitamin D pada obesitas yang terbit dari tahun 2010-2017. Ada dua teori yang menjelaskan rendahnya kadar vitamin D pada orang obesitas yaitu: teori sekuestrasi dan teori degradasi. Teori Sekuestrasi: menyatakan bahwa individu obese mengalami kegagalan dalam mengkonversi pre vitamin D menjadi vitamin D di jaringan kulitnya, di mana jaringan lemak yang berlebih yang dapat menyita vitamin yang larut dalam lemak sehingga kadar serum 25(OH)D3 menjadi rendah. Teori Degradasi: menyatakan bahwa banyaknya jaringan lemak akan merangsang infiltrasi dari sel-sel imun yang teraktivasi akan menyebabkan inflamasi jaringan adipose dan penurunan (degradasi) vitamin D, yang menyebabkan turunnya kadar vitamin D pada kasus obesitas. Disimpulkan bahwa obesitas berhubungan dengan rendahnya kadar vitamin D yang rendah di dalam tubuh, teori sekuestrasi dan teori degradasi menjelaskan rendahnya kadar vitamin D pada orang obesitas.Kata kunci: Defisiensi Vitamin D, Teori sekuestrasi dan degradasi, Obesitas.

The Limited Financial Rationality by Owners or Administrators of Mexican Micro-Enterprises work aims to evaluate the rationality limited per responsible individual subjected to choosing the direction to follow that allows survival in the market. Empirical research is based on a data collection instrument applied to a sample of microenterprises. The main objective is to hierarchically categorize behaviors, ideas and orientations that explain rational construction by owners or managers towards financial decision making. Our contribution is the construction of a behavioral map by micro-entrepreneurs under two financial rationalities, strong and weak, determined by the learning curve (learning by doing). Where the model did prove that limited financial rationality is positively influenced by business maturity explained by the analogy between intuition and the financial situational perception of the microentrepreneur, which is guided by learning, knowledge, risk aversion and is not only defined by the business scale.
New Shmagency Worries
Authors: Leffler Olof
Published: June 2019

Constitutivism explains norms in terms of their being constitutive of agency, actions, or certain propositional attitudes. However, the shmagency objection says that if we can be shmagents – like agents, minus the norm-explaining features of agency – we can avoid the norms, so the explanation fails. This paper extends this objection, arguing that constitutivists about practical norms suffer from it despite their recent attempts to solve it. The standard response to the objection is that it is self-defeating for agents to become shmagents. I agree, but the response ignores the possibility of shmagents who consider whether to be agents while already standing outside agency. Another response says that we ought to be agents because agency is, in some sense, normatively valuable, and if so, we can explain norms in terms of this valuable form of agency. But then the norms that our constitutions are supposed to explain are underdetermined because it is unclear how much we ought to care about this value. I conclude that the shmagency objection has yet to be answered.

Numerical modeling of nanobundle- and nanorope- reinforced polymer mechanical properties
Authors: Mamanpush Seyed Hossein
Published: June 2019

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) demonstrate unusually high stiffness, strength and resilience, and are ideal reinforcing materials for polymer-based nanocomposites. Van der Waals interactions between the nanotubes often result in formation of nanotube bundles and/or ropes. Determination of mechanical properties of the nanobundle- and nanorope-based nanocomposites is difficult due to the complicated geometries of the reinforcement structures. However, in order to better utilize nanocomposites, it is crucial to determine mechanical properties of nanocomposites in their real form as much as possible. In this paper, the elasticity theory for anisotropic body and continuum modeling are used to determine effective mechanical properties of bundle and nanorope-based nanocomposites. Numerical models are developed using a Representative Volume Element (RVE) consisting of nanoropes and nanobundles made up of different numbers of nanotubes to investigate the effect of nanorope geometry on nanocomposite mechanical properties. Models of several RVEs are developed with nanoropes consisting of five, seven, nine, and thirteen CNTs. CNT volume fraction is kept constant in all models for a valid comparison. Also, the effect of matrix modulus on the strengthening efficiency of CNTs is investigated. The results indicate that nanocomposite longitudinal modulus decreases with increasing the number of CNTs in the nanorope.

Introduction to Max Sheller's philosophy of education: reformed governance of higher education as a source of sustainable development of civil society
Authors: Bryzhnik Vitalii
Published: June 2019

Max Sheler published his work "University and Public's University" in 1921 in Germany during the period of the history when this state  was in a state of social crisis. Having suffered a deep defeat in World War I, Germany gained serious economic, financial and domestic political problems. But the main problem for the then Germany was the crisis of social morality of the German people which had lost the traditional factors of their social integration and solidarity. Max Scheler postulated reformed higher education, that would be able  to have positive  influence upon the German society, primarily because of its educational influence on representatives of working youth, as a cultural alternative to those fallen factors. According to Max Scheler the reforming of higher education, as constructing a "public's university", had to be carried out primarily through the renewal of the leadership of educational institutions and through the involvement of new young teachers into the educational process whose main work was upbringing of students through the provision of appropriate knowledge. This knowledge must consist in such a way to combine humanitarian and professional disciplines, which will result in the formation of a young worker as an active participant of the development of the post-war German society as democratic one and it will make impossible for any ideology to influence its conscious life. Max Scheler called the personal spirit of a man to be the internal factor that determines his or her pedagogical and educational activities. Those educators who understand the presence of a personal spirit in them will carry out their pedagogical activities, focusing on the idea of spiritual national unity. The result of such pedagogical activities will be the constant constructing of the civil society by a new personality, who was brought up within out-ideological education.

Pengaruh lingkungan eksternal pada gen manusia akan berpengaruh pada patogenesis penyakit, dan hal ini dapat diturunkan. Studi tentang perubahan gen fenotip yang diwariskan yang tidak disebabkan oleh perubahan urutan DNA disebut epigenetik. Salah satu mekanisme epigenetik adalah metilasi DNA yang penting dalam mengatur ekspresi gen. Ulasan ini akan menjelaskan studi tentang metilasi DNA pada mukosa mulut. Metode pencarian sistematis Google Scholar dan Pubmed dilakukan untuk semua studi dalam sepuluh tahun terakhir. Hasil pencarian mendapatkan sebanyak tujuh artikel dengan ukuran sampel yang bervariasi, 16 hingga 177 sampel, sebagian besar studi kasus-kontrol padaoral premalignan lesions (OPL), oral lichenoid disease (OLD), mucositis oral pada acute lymphoblactic leukemia (ALL), dan oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Metilasi DNA pada kanker mulut menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hipermetilasi beberapa gen, walaupun status metilasi DNA dalam beberapa kasus belum menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan antara gen yang diperiksa. Hasil penelitian lain menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada korelasi antara metilasi DNA dan perkembangan mukositis oral pada ALL yang menerima terapi metotreksat (MTX). Mekanisme metilasi DNA pada sel malignanadalah dengan menambahkan gugus metil ke sitosin dinukleotida di CpG (cytosine phosphate guanine) pada daerah promoter oleh enzim DNA methyltransferase sehingga dapat menghambat ekspresi beberapa gen terkait pertumbuhan sel, perbaikan DNA, dan penghambat metastasis. Metilasi DNA adalah biomarker penting dalam perkembangan penyakit mukosa mulut.

Diabetes melitus (DM) merupakan penyakit gangguan metabolik menahun akibat pankreas tidak dapat memproduksi cukup insulin atau tubuh tidak dapat menggunakan insulin secara efektif. Penatalaksanaan DM dimulai dengan menerapkan pola hidup sehat (terapi nutrisi medis dan aktivitas fisik) bersamaan dengan intervensi farmakologi. Terapi nutrisi medis berupa pengaturan diet yang seimbang dan sesuai dengan kebutuhan kalori dan zat gizi masing-masing individu. Untuk mencapai diet yang seimbang dan jumlah yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan kalori maka pasien DM harus mempunyai pengetahuan gizi yang baik terkait penyakitnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan tentang makronutrien dengan kecukupan dan keseimbangan asupan makronutrien pasien DM tipe 2. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional analitik dengan desain cross-sectional, dilakukan di Puskesmas Sako Palembang pada bulan November-Desember 2018. Sampel pada penelitian ini adalah pasien DM tipe 2 yang berobat di Puskesmas Sako Palembang. Data diperoleh dengan cara wawancara langsung pada pasien kemudian dianalisis dengan uji Chi Square.

Bolus radiotherapy have been created by using material of mixture a silicone rubber as matrix and alginate powder as a filler through chemical solution deposition methods with variation of composition silicone rubber: alginate powder: catalyst (99 : 0 : 1)%wt, (80: 19: 1)%wt, (80: 18: 2)%wt, (80: 17: 3)%wt, (80:16: 4)%wt and (80: 15: 5)%wt. The sample fabrication was done in two steps. The first step of alginate powder is mixed with a solution of rubber and catalyst silicon until homogeneous for 5 minutes with the wet mixing method. The second step of the powder which was homogeneously mixed was printed with glass mould measuring 11 x 11 x 1 cm3 with variations in thickness of 5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm then dried at 300. Each bolus sample is already to be characterized which includes: physical properties (density, porosity, and water absorption), mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation and modulus young) and performance (CT Number and absorbency dose). The characterization results showed that alginate powder: optimum rubber silicon ie (80: 19) wt% at a thickness of 15 mm resulted in a density value of 2.091 x 103 kg/m3, porosity of 9.82% and water absorption of 1.66%. Mechanical properties with tensile strength 3.37 MPa, elongation at 45.28% and modulus of elasticity of 0.816 MPa. Bolus radiotherapy performance properties relative electron density (RED) values or CT numbers of 1.25 resulted in surface absorbance doses of 8 MeV of 101% and 10 MeV of 108.01%. The results of bolus radiotherapy based on composite alginate powder reinforced by silicone rubber can be applied as a cancer therapy material to replace bolus from wax, and paraffin.
