Though home energy use should be considered in every residential project, it is particularly critical for low-wealth individuals and families. While higher-budget projects can rely on a return on investment for energy-saving features, “affordable” housing projects built by not-for-profit organizations frequently rely on reductions in construction costs to keep purchasing prices low for homeowners. However, this can result in higher maintenance and operations costs over the useful life of the home. Could linking home performance to the mortgage carry of an individual homeowner provide opportunities to create a housing stock of homes that consider the total cost of homeownership? This paper describes a research initiative designed to seek the balance point between up-front investments in improved energy performance and home affordability in support of a pilot, systems-based approach to more affordable homeownership. In a design-build studio format, the authors and their students have revised and constructed multiple versions of the same small, two-bedroom prototype home developed for the context of a mixed-humid climate: one built to the Passive House Institute U.S. (PHIUS) standard and the other to the Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Ready Home (ZERH) standard. By constructing two prototype homes on the same street and with similar orientation, but with differing energy-related details, the authors are able to evaluate the initial cost of construction associated with achieving these two performance standards while simultaneously comparing the monthly energy savings afforded by each approach. Each home underwent a rigorous process of modeling, testing, and monitoring. Computational energy modeling during the design phase were used to to test various envelope assemblies. At key points in construction, blower door tests and thermal imaging were utilized to assess the specific efficacy of alternative approaches construction detailing and to verify systems and envelope airtightness. Long-term monitoring is used to evaluate actual post-occupancy energy use against that which was predicted in the initial design phase. Furthermore, post-occupancy engagement with the homeowner allows for a deeper understanding of the design of end-user education programs that empower families to leverage the high-performance potential of their homes. Ultimately, these findings provide an invaluable contribution to the authors’ broader research and development where, in partnership with federal agencies as well as mortgage and insurance providers, the team continues to explore mechanisms to better integrate both the policies and products necessary to support a new paradigm of truly affordable homeownership to families in the rural South.

Authors: WOŹNIAK Łukasz , SURDACKI Paweł , JAROSZYŃSKI Leszek
Published: December 2022

Computer assisted calculations consists in applying software for the simu-lation of models of certain devices and later analysing their behavior under given conditions corresponding to real working conditions in a specific environment.The paper proposes a circuit model of 2G YBCO super-conducting tape created in the PSpice program. The model consists of passive blocks and active user blocks of analogue behavioural modelling (ABM). ABM blocks calculate the conductances, the currents of the indi-vidual layers of the superconducting tape, its thermal capacity, the heating power, the cooling power and resulting temperature of the tape. The model uses table of thermal power density passed to the liquid nitrogen vs. temperature. Smooth transition of the YBCO superconductor layer into the resistive state is described by Rhyner’s power law. The developed model was used for generating waveforms of thermal and electrical quantities.

Authors: CZYŻ Zbigniew , KARPIŃSKI Paweł , SEVDIM Tacetdin
Published: December 2022

The paper discusses a numerical investigation, using a CFD tool, ANSYS FLUENT, of drag acting on a motorcycle helmet. The simulations were performed on a model of a helmet downloaded from a free CAD model library. A solid model enabled us to generate a mesh, to define boundary conditions and to specify a model of turbulence. Accordingly, the values of forces acting on individual sections of the helmet were obtained and the coefficients of aerodynamic drag were calculated. The test results can be used to optimize the shape of the existing motorcycle helmet construction and to study the impact of generated drag forces on reaction forces affecting a motorcyclist’s body.

Authors: ABDALWAHID Shadan Mohammed Jihad , YOUSIF Raghad Zuhair , KAREEM Shahab Wahhab
Published: December 2022

The amount of data processed and stored in the cloud is growing dramatically. The traditional storage devices at both hardware and software levels cannot meet the requirement of the cloud. This fact motivates the need for a plat¬form which can handle this problem. Hadoop is a deployed platform proposed to overcome this big data problem which often uses MapReduce architecture to process vast amounts of data of the cloud system. Hadoop has no strategy to assure the safety and confidentiality of the files saved inside the Hadoop distributed File system (HDFS). In the cloud, the protection of sensitive data is a critical issue in which data encryption schemes plays avital rule. This research proposes a hybrid system between two well-known asymmetric key cryptosystems (RSA, and Paillier) to encrypt the files stored in HDFS. Thus before saving data in HDFS, the proposed cryptosystem is utilized for encrypting the data. Each user of the cloud might upload files in two ways, non-safe or secure. The hybrid system shows higher computational complexity and less latency in comparison to the RSA cryptosystem alone.

Authors: RENO Saha , CHOWDHURY Sheikh Surfuddin Reza Ali , SADI Iqramuzzaman
Published: December 2022

Lending systems in real world are not much secure and reliable as the borrower and third parties involved in this aspect may create various deceitful situations. Blockchain is a secure system where the utilization of smart contract can avoid deceptive phenomena involved in lending but the decline in exchange rate of cryptocurrency can create the opportunity to pay back less than the borrowed amount in terms of fiat money. In this paper, a blockchain and smart contract-based lending framework is designed which requires the borrower to provide Ethereum Request for Comments (ERC)-20 standard tokens as collateral to mitigate the associated risks. The smart contract feature is utilized to automate the system without any third-party management. Besides, transaction stored in the blocks creates transparency among the users of the system. To tackle the aforementioned issues, ERC-20 token value is increased periodically and the instability of the exchange rate is surveilled by the system. By the end of this paper, some test cases and charts relevant to the data set are evaluated to assess the effectiveness of the system.

The aim: The aim of this work is focused on a phylogeographic analysis of the relationship between the population groups of walleye pollock Gadus chalcogrammus of the Asian part of the range.

The methods: The analysis of phylogeographic analysis is based on the data of polymorphism of microsatellite markers, a fragment of the mtDNA control region (D-loop) and a fragment of the mtDNA cytochrome b gene. The newness: A comprehensive phylogeographic analysis using samples of spawning walleye pollock individuals from most of the Asian part of the range from the Sea of Japan to the northwestern Bering Sea using various genetic markers was carried out for the first time.

The results: The results of the analysis of the variability of walleye pollock samples by mitochondrial markers (fragments of the cytochrome b and D-loop genes) allow us to distinguish two large population groupings within the Asian part of its range: the first one in the Sea of Okhotsk, the Sea of Japan, the waters of the Kuril Islands and southeastern Kamchatka and the second one in the Bering and Chukchi seas. Analysis of the variability of walleye pollock samples by microsatellite markers allows us to judge the absence of population groupings in the waters of the Sea of Okhotsk, the Sea of Japan, off the Kuril Islands and southeastern Kamchatka.

The practical significance: When regulating pollock fishing in the Russian waters, it is necessary to establish a single total allowable catch (TAC) for each of the two superpopulations: the Sea of Okhotsk —  Sea of Japan (1) and the Bering Sea (2) combining the sizes of proposed catch for walleye pollock groups belonging to each of these superpopulations.

Dynamic disease pathways are a combination of complex dynamical processes among bio-molecules in a cell that leads to diseases. Network modeling of disease pathways considers disease-related bio-molecules (e.g. DNA, RNA, transcription factors, enzymes, proteins, and metabolites) and their interaction (e.g. DNA methylation, histone modification, alternative splicing, and protein modification) to study disease progression and predict therapeutic responses. These bio-molecules and their interactions are the basic elements in the study of the misregulation in the disease-related gene expression that lead to abnormal cellular responses. Gene regulatory networks, cell signaling networks, and metabolic networks are the three major types of intracellular networks for the study of the cellular responses elicited from extracellular signals. The disease-related cellular responses can be prevented or regulated by designing control strategies to manipulate these extracellular signals. The paper reviews the regulatory mechanisms, the dynamic models, and the control strategies for each intracellular network. The applications, limitations and the prospective for modeling and control are also discussed.

LA VILLE EN FÊTES
Authors: Bernié-Boissard Catherine
Published: December 2022

La ville s’est-elle « carnavalisée » ? Après une période peu inventive, les manifestations festives se multiplient depuis les années 1980. Explosion intermittente opposée à la quotidienneté, la fête rassemble, invente des lieux éphémères de rencontre dans une société de la mobilité. Ambivalente, elle joue les rôles d’exutoire, de contestation du pouvoir, de valorisation économique d’un territoire... Fédératrice, lorsqu’elle permet aux habitants de s’identifier à une géographie, elle accompagne les mutations de l’espace et des temps dans la ville (Nuits Blanches, Nouvel An chinois à Paris...). Dans l’histoire urbaine, la fête symbolise des moments de résistance (la Commune de Paris). La superposition entre identité et résistance est souvent à l’origine des fêtes contemporaines. Elle est une forme de résistance de l’urbanité confrontée aux défis de la modernité. Mais le caractère « résistant » des fêtes ne participe-t-il pas lui-même du phénomène festif ?
О ТИТРОВАНИИ ДВУХОСНОВНОЙ МАЛОНОВОЙ КИСЛОТЫ H2 C3 H2 O4 ГИДРОКСИДОМ НАТРИЯ NAOH

Цель работы – проанализировать скачки в точках эквивалентности при титровании двухосновной малоновой кислоты H_2 C_3 H_2 O_4 сильным основанием – гидроксидом натрия NaOH и обосновать выбор точки эквивалентности, до которой нужно вести титрование, чтобы результаты определений были в пределах допустимой погрешности; показано, что резкого скачка численных значений pH в первой точке эквивалентности наблюдаться не будет, так как отношение констант диссоциации по первой и второй ступеням равно 6,36 ∙〖10〗^(2 ), которое меньше 〖10〗^(4 ). Резкий скачок значений рН наблюдается при значениях этого отношения больших, чем 〖10〗^(4 ); обосновано сравнением с точными вычислениями, что можно использовать формулу для расчета pH слабой кислоты до начала титрования; рассмотрены константы равновесия предполагаемых химических равновесий при взаимодействии малоновой кислоты с гидроксидом натрия NaOH до полного образования –кислой соли.

GENDER AND SOMATOTYPOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF INDICATORS OF AEROBIC AND ANAEROBIC PRODUCTIVITY OF ENERGY SUPPLY OF THE BODY IN THE POST-PUBERTAL PERIOD OF ONTOGENESIS IN THE RESIDENTS OF THE ZAKARPATTIA REGION
Authors: Dulo Olena A. , Furman Yurii M. , Hema-Bahyna Nataliia M.
Published: December 2022

The aim: To establish gender differences in aerobic and anaerobic productivity in practically healthy residents of the Zakarpattia region in the post-pubertal period of ontogenesis, depending on the somatotypological characteristics of the organism.
Materials and methods: A comparative analysis of physical health status of 456 individuals, was carried out, whit was assessed by indicators of aerobic and anaerobic productivity of the body, depending on the somatotype, which was determined by the Heath-Carter method, and depending on the component body composition which was determined using the impedance method.
Results: The relative value Vo2 mах in females corresponds to “excellent”, which guarantees a “safe health level” according to H.L. Apanasenko. At the same time, the level of aerobic productivity in males in terms of the relative value Vo2 mах is “average”, which cannot guarantee a “safe health level”. The anaerobic productivity of females is lower than in males in terms of the relative value of alactic power, lactic power, and the capacity of lactic energy supply processes by 55.6%, 54.7%, and 38.7%, respectively.
Conclusions: The level of aerobic productivity, regardless of the area of residence, in females is higher than in males according to Ya.P. Pyarnat’s criteria. In males the increase in the fat component has a negative effect on the aerobic and anaerobic energy supply of the body. On the contrary, the growth of the muscle component of body mass helps to increase the aerobic and anaerobic capacity of the body.

Published: December 2022

The aim: To evaluate the content of trace elements Zn, Cu and Se in blood serum and their relationship with viral load and the degree of liver fibrosis according to the results of the FibroMax test in patients with CHC.
Materials and methods: 62 outpatients with a verified diagnosis of CHC were under observation, in which serum Zn, Cu and Se levels, viral load and degree of liver fibrosis were determined according to the FibroMax test.
Results: HCV 1b genotype was detected in all patients. The proportion of patients with a high viral load was 32%, with a low viral load – 68%. In 19% of patients, the level of Zn was below normal, and the levels of Cu and Se were within the reference values. The proportion of patients without fibrosis was 32%, 16% had minimal fibrosis, 40% had moderate fibrosis, 8% had progressive fibrosis, and 3% had severe fibrosis. 68% of patients had active inflammation of various degrees, liver steatosis – 65%, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis – 48%, inflammation caused by alcohol consumption was absent. No statistically significant difference was found in serum trace element levels and viral load (p>0.05). A weak negative correlation between the level of Zn and the degree of fibrosis (ρ=-0.340, p=0.007) and a negligible negative correlation between the level of Zn and inflammation activity (ρ=-0.286, p=0.024) were revealed. Patients with fibrosis grade ≥F2 had lower Zn levels compared to patients with fibrosis ≤F1 (0.607 (0.540, 0.691) mg/l vs. 0.716 (0.593, 0.875) mg/l, p=0.01), and when comparing there was no difference in Cu and Se levels (р>0.05).
Conclusions: Thus, there is a relationship between the level of Zn in blood serum and the degree of liver damage in patients with CHC, which indicates the prospects for further research.

Authors: Stoianovskyi Ihor V. , Khimich Sergii D. , Chemerys Orest M.
Published: December 2022

The aim: To detect the ultrasonographic signs of necrotizing fasciitis (NF) suitable for its early diagnosis.
Materials and methods: Eigty two patients with soft tissue infection, including 14 with necrotizing faciitis, were examined by ultrasonography at the admission. Ultrasonografic features were compared to intraoperative findings by the same surgeon.
Results: The thickening of subcutaneous tissue had high sensitivity (100%), but low specificity (5.8%). The hypoechoic and hyperechoic zones had the shape of “cobblestone” with sensitivity – 78.5%, specificity – 33.8%. Higher specificity (69.1%) had sign of “cobblestone separation” on two layers. The presence of fluid above the fascia (sensitivity – 71.4%; specificity – 69.1%), thickening of the fascia (sensitivity – 85.7%; specificity – 58.8%), indistinctness of the fascia edges (sensitivity – 85.7%; specificity – 66.1%) and loss of fascial homogeneity (sensitivity – 71.4%, specificity – 66.1%) were noted in early stages of NF. Advanced cases of NF were accompanied by the dissection of thick¬ened fascia with a strip of fluid (sensitivity – 57.1%, specificity – 92.6%) and accumulation of a fluid under the fascia (sensitivity – 28.5%, specificity – 95.5%). The muscles thickening (sensitivity – 28.5%; specificity – 67.6%), skin thickening (sensitivity – 57.1%; specificity – 58.8%), and loss of the skin’s lower edge clarity (sensitivity – 57.1%; specificity – 63.2%) don’t have diagnostic value without other signs of NF.
Conclusions: Point-of-care ultrasonography allows visualization of soft tissue changes that may be hidden in the initial stages of necrotizing fasciitis and should be recommended for implementation as mandatory method of examination in patients with suspected surgical soft tissue infection.

Architecture plays important and varied roles within the social practices of tourists; in this paper we explore how architecture does more than provide content matter for photography but also affords infrastructure for gazing and performing. We adopt the Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia as a case and take a visual methodology approach, using content and thematic analysis of photographs uploaded to the social networking site Yelp.com to understand what visitors to Mona photograph. In studying image-making practices of visitors, the paper contributes knowledge that will provide a deeper understanding of what people photograph when they visit architecture, how these images relate to ‘official’ destination marketing, and how architecture provides frames and platforms for visual practices.
Characteristics of Social Policy to Youth Transitioning into Adulthood in South Korea: Exploratory Approach through International Comparison
Authors:   Social Welfare Policy and Practice, Kim Byoung-inn
Published: December 2022

This study was conducted by using international comparison approach to explore characteristics of social policy for youth transitioning into adulthood in South Korea. The analytical framework was established in terms of ‘minimum income protection’(‘redistribution of income’) and ‘enabling’ (‘redistribution of opportunity’), based on review of international literature. Looking at South Korea’s position at the international level, The minimum income protection indicators, the accessibility and Adequacy of social assistance benefits, is low, while the vocational schools and training rate and the inactive NEET rate, which are the indicators of ‘enabling’, are at a moderate level and very high, respectively. The‘enabling’ means the low comprehensiveness of youth employment policy. Given that youth in South Korean tend to delay the period of independence, being mostly economically dependent on their parents under strong familialism, it is concluded that their familialization are related to South Korea’s insufficient social policy measures in the institutional context. It is hoped that the results provide a clue to understand the characteristics of social policies for youth in South Korea at a preliminary level, while helping to seek policy alternatives.

Abstract: According to Lawrence M. Friedman, modern law which regulates the relationship between individuals is determined based on the equal division of roles among human beings, and it is stated legally formally in a contract. Simply put, the contract is the starting point in the relationship between individuals, including in economic terms. Based on the principle of Pacta Sunt Veranda, an agreement contained in a contract must be fulfilled by the parties who agree, the points that have been agreed upon become a law that must be obeyed together. This article will describe the interpretation of the contract in a contract or engagement using the fiqh rules of muammalah kulliyah as an analytical knife, it will also describe the settlement of engagement disputes and the end of the engagement in the KHES and the Civil Code.

Abstrak: Menurut Lawrence M. Friedman hukum modern yang mengatur tentang hubungan antar individu ditetapkan berdasarkan pembagian peran yang setara diantara sesama manusia, dan itu dituangkan secara legal formal dalam sebuah kontrak. Sederhananya kontrak adalah pijakan awal dalam hubungan antar individu termasuk dalam hal ekonomi. Berdasarkan asas Pacta Sunt Servanda sebuah kesepakatan yang tertuang dalam sebuah kontrak harus dipenuhi oleh pihak-pihak yang bersepakat, poin-poin yang telah disepakati menjadi sebuah hukum yang harus ditaati bersama. Artikel ini akan mendeskripsikan penafsiran akad dalam sebuah kontrak atau perikatan dengan menggunakan kaidah fikih muammalah kulliyah sebagai pisau analisis, juga akan mendeskripsikan penyelesaian sengketa perikatan dan berakhirnya perikatan dalam KHES dan KUHPerdta.

The purpose of this study was to determine the credit guarantee ratio of PT. Jamkrindo KUP Pamekasan during the pandemic. The method applied is a descriptive approach. Types of data and data sources in this study is quantitative. The results of this study indicate that credit guarantees are needed in a loan, especially during the pandemic. With the credit guarantee (PT. Jamkrindo) it is hoped that micro, small or medium enterprises (SMEs) Credit guarantee is an activity of providing guarantees or services to creditors for credit, which is provided by the Indonesian general credit guarantee company (Jamkrindo) in collaboration with the government. This needs to be done to provide protection to creditors, if the debtor presents then the creditor still gets the right to his receivables in order to overcome failure to fulfill obligations and repay bank credit.
Bounding Periodic Orbits in Second Order Systems
Authors: García Andrés Gabriel
Published: December 2022

This paper provides an upper bound for the number of periodic orbits in planar systems. The research results in, [7], and, [8], allows one to produce a bound on the number of periodic orbits/limit cycles. Introducing the concept of Maximal Grade and Maximal Number of Periodic Orbits, a simple algebraic calculation leads to an upper bound on the number of periodic trajectories for general second order systems. In particular, it also applies to polynomial ODE’s. As far as the author is aware, such a powerful result is not available in the literature. Instead, the methods in this paper provide a tool to determine an upper bound on the periodic orbits/limit cycles for a wide range of dynamical systems.
Optimized Genetic Algorithms Reduced Order Model Based RST Roll Control of Antiroll Bar Dedicated to Semi-active Suspension
Authors: Babesse Saad , Inel Fouad
Published: December 2022

Working with high-order transfer functions needs a lot of work and leads to major difficulties in analysis, simulation, and control design. Model reduction studies the large-scale system properties and helps to reduce these difficulties. In this paper, the genetic algorithms (GA) optimization method is used to calculate the second reduced order model (ROM) of the original high order model (HOM) of the actuator. Here, the studied hydraulic actuator is a single input, single output (SISO), and linear time invariant (LTI) system that can be modeled by an eight-order transfer function with uncontrollable modes. The genetic algorithms are successfully applied to reduce the original model order using MATLAB software. Thus, the proposed approach is applied to both the original and suggested reduced order models to check the effectiveness of the reduction method. Finally, a digital RST roll control based on the robust pole placement is applied for the two models, and simulations are carried out to show the effectiveness of the control strategy

Authors: Jubran Lucas Traldi , Marquêz Thiago Precioso , Conejero Maria Letícia de Sousa Ramos
Published: December 2022

Objetivo: Identificar o perfil epidemiológico e avaliar a taxa de mortalidade em um ano dos pacientes idosos submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico de fraturas de fêmur proximal em nosso Serviço.

Método: Foram incluídos neste estudo 68 pacientes atendidos no período compreendido entre os anos de 2020 e 2021, que foram avaliados apenas com base em seus prontuários já arquivados, sem qualquer novo contato. As variáveis avaliadas foram a idade, sexo, etnia, presença de comorbidades, lado acometido, tipo de fratura com sua classificação, e o mecanismo de trauma.

Resultados: Nosso estudo incluiu pacientes com média de idade de 83 anos, a grande maioria do sexo feminino e caucasianas. As fraturas mais incidentes em nossa amostra se localizavam no colo do fêmur, seguidas das transtrocantéricas, e ocorreram igualmente nos lados esquerdo e direito. O mecanismo de trauma mais observado foi a queda da própria altura, e a classificação mais comumente observada foi a Garden IV. HAS e DM foram as comorbidades mais comumente relatadas pelos pacientes. Do total da amostra, 13 pacientes vieram a óbito (19%).

Conclusão: A mortalidade em um ano de idosos operados devido a fraturas de fêmur ainda é alta em nosso Serviço. Sendo assim, existe a necessidade de um seguimento clínico atencioso para avaliação geral e controle das comorbidades dos pacientes com fratura de fêmur buscando reduzir a mortalidade associada à referida condição.

Semiotika arsitektur merupakan bahasa tanda yang menginformasikan nilai-nilai dan makna dari objek arsitektural tentang hal-hal yang esensial dan lebih mendalam serta tersirat dari tampilannya. Gereja Katolik sangat sarat makna dalam merepresentasikan iman melalui tata liturgi sebagai unsur sentral peribadatan berdasarkan pengalaman estetik dan religious yang nampak dari berbagai tanda dan makna yang mencerminkan misteri keIlahian. Gereja Katolik San Inigo Surakarta, menghadirkan suatu relasi bentuk dan fungsi dari sebuah tata laku peribadatan umat Katolik yang berkembang di sekitar lingkungan Keraton dan masih terasa kental dengan suasana Jawa dengan refleksi tata laku Kejawen sebagai bentuk spritiual hubungan manusia dengan Tuhan.

Penelitian ini membahas menterjemahkan makna liturgi dalam simbol Katolik yang di inkulturasikan pada budaya Jawa. Makna primer dan sekunder diinterpretasi dari proses pengamatan dengan memkomparasikan makna dalam tradisi Jawa dan iman Katolik yang ditampilkan pada arsitektur gereja berlanggam Jawa Modern. Penelitian ini akan menjadi studi deskriptif interpretatif dengan analisis yang dibuat untuk mengidentifikasi komponen makna liturgi pada Gereja Katolik San Inigo Drijodipuran dilihat dari sumbu aksis dari bangunan, tata ruang bangunan dan elemen arsitektural. Kontribusi dari penelitian untuk memberikan pengetahuan mengenai signifikasi ekspresi bentuk dan makna semiotika yang merujuk pada inkulturasi budaya lokal, khususnya budaya Jawa pada arsitektur gereja modern.
