Comparative study of scaling parameters and research output of selected highly- and moderately-cited individual authors
Authors: Sangwal Keshra
Published: June 2022

The real data of cumulative citations ln of selected nth paper of individual N papers published by some highly- and moderately-cited individual authors are analyzed to compare Hirsch and Hirsch-type indices h, h1, hf and hm, and citation radii R and Rf from consideration of: (1) the number An of coauthors of the paper, (2) the normalization of citations ln and cumulative fraction lnf of citation of the nth paper by mean and median citations of the citations ln of all Nc cited papers, and (3) the determination of effective rank neff of the lnf citations. Analysis of the ln(n), lnf(n) and lnf(neff) data was also carried out by using a Langmuir-type function l = l0[1-aKn/(1+Kn)], where l denotes the citations ln and lnf of all cited Nc papers arranged in the decreasing order, a is an effectiveness parameter, K is the so-called Langmuir constant, n denotes the rank n or neff of citations and l0 is the value of l when n or neff approaches zero. For a comparison of the publication output of different authors it was found that the hm index is more consistent than other indices, and it can be normalized to account for the publication career of different authors. However, Langmuir-type function is not adequate for comparison of the publication output of different authors because it describes the rank-order distribution patterns satisfactorily in terms of two parameters. To compare the publication output of different authors independent of their career length t, it is suggested to use scaling parameters h/t, hf/t and hm/t.

Resumo: A construção da Identidade Docente (ID) durante o curso de formação inicial exige saberes constituídos pela relação entre os conhecimentos das instituições formadoras e os saberes desenvolvidos no contexto do cotidiano escolar proporcionados pela prática docente. Assim, este estudo tem como objetivo identificar os desafios e perspectivas, a partir da percepção dos licenciandos em Ciências Biológicas de uma universidade pública baiana, para a construção da ID ao longo do Estágio Curricular Supervisionado (ECS). Quanto à abordagem metodológica, trata-se de uma investigação de caráter qualitativo. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram a análise documental e o questionário. Contendo questões objetivas e subjetivas, o questionário foi enviado pelo Google Forms a catorze estudantes do referido curso. Os dados foram analisados à luz da análise de conteúdo e, após a leitura atenta do material, foram organizados em duas categorias de análise: o desenvolvimento dos licenciandos durante o ECS e a relação entre licenciando e professor supervisor do ECS. Quanto ao momento do ECS, os licenciandos confirmaram sua importância ao adquirirem saberes específicos da prática e que estes são fundamentais para a construção da ID, porém destacaram algumas limitações durante o período de ECS. No que se refere à colaboração do professor supervisor, indicaram que a participação deste profissional não se restringe a aspectos relacionados à prática docente, pois o estagiário estabelece relações com este profissional que dialogam diretamente com a escolha pela docência.

The shapes and sizes of grains influence the anisotropy of crystal structures and the configuration of ferroelectric domains. In order to better understand these effects, we introduce a method to observe a ferroelectric phase transition in a single ferroelectric particle of sub-micrometer size. The phase transition was observed by cooling the sample through its Curie temperature, and studying the pattern variations of Bragg coherent X-ray diffraction from a single particle of 500 nm sized BaTiO3. A change from a single 200 peak (cubic phase) to both 200 and 002 peaks (tetragonal phase); was seen, with fringes connecting them like a bridge. The pattern from the BaTiO3 particle in the cubic phase was also imaged using Bragg coherent diffraction imaging. The apparent strain distribution caused by dislocation internal to the BaTiO3 crystal was visible in the reconstructed image.
Materials informatics for dielectric loss tangent in the millimeter wave region
Authors: Oba Yusuke , Umeda Yuji , Ishii Daiki
Published: June 2022

For the prediction of the dielectric loss tangent in the millimeter wave region, machine-learning approaches based on the first-principles calculations were carried out. The data set was prepared by the first-principles calculations considering the anharmonicity of lattice vibrations. The two-phonon density of states, which is correlated with the dielectric loss tangent, was calculated and confirmed the connection with the difference in crystal structures. Machine-learning models to predict the dielectric loss tangent were created considering both atomic compositions and crystal structures as descriptors. In addition, transfer-learning models, in which a pretrained model for the two-phonon density of states was used as the new descriptor, were compared with models from scratch. The transfer-learning model showed 25% higher prediction accuracy than the scratch model.
Young’s modulus and ferroelectric property of BaTiO3 films formed by aerosol deposition in consideration of residual stress and film thickness
Authors: Maruyama Kohei , Kawakami Yoshihiro , Narita Fumio
Published: June 2022

Film thickening by aerosol deposition (AD) is effective for the fabrication of self-sustained piezoelectric energy harvesting devices. Here we investigated the properties, microstructure, and residual stresses of BaTiO3 films deposited by AD at different film thicknesses. The Young’s modulus measured by the nanoindentation test showed no thickness dependence; however, it increased from approximately 130– 160 GPa with annealing. Ferroelectric hysteresis curves showed that the increase in film thickness facilitated polarization switching. The microstructure of the films showed no significant changes with the film thickness, while the results of X-ray diffraction and finite element analysis of thermal stress showed that the residual stress after annealing depended on the film thickness. The energy harvesting performance of the BaTiO3 films deposited by AD may increase owing to the residual stress, rather than the increase in the film thickness.

The Effects of Reinforcement with TaC on the Microstructure and Wear Properties of Lamellar Graphite Cast Irons
Authors: YAKUT Rifat , ÇİFTÇİ Ömer
Published: June 2022

Lamellar graphite cast irons are prevalently used in several industrial applications, especially the automotive industry, due to their high compressive strength, high thermal conductivity, high castability, vibration damping ability, good mechanical strength, friction and wear resistance, better machinability than other cast irons, and good mold filling. In this study, changes in the wear volumes, wear rates, wear track profiles, and friction coefficients of lamellar graphite cast irons in which Tantalum Carbide (TaC) was added at different reinforcement ratios (A (0.025 wt.%), B (0.155 wt.%), C (0.285 wt.%), and K (unreinforced, 0 wt.%)) were investigated. Additionally, by examining the wear surfaces of the samples using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), their wear mechanisms were determined. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that different reinforcement ratios did not have a noticeable effect on wear track profiles under a load of 1 N. On the other hand, different reinforcement ratios showed an effect on wear track profiles under loads of 3 N and 5 N. The most perceptible wear track profile was formed in Sample C under 5 N. It was observed that increased load values resulted in increased wear volumes, but the increases in the wear rates of the samples were not significant, and the numerical values were close to each other. The highest wear volumes were determined in the reinforced C sample and the unreinforced K sample under 5 N load. As the magnitude of the load that was applied increased, the friction coefficients of Samples B and C decreased, but the friction coefficients of Samples K and A increased.
ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK METHODS FOR BOUNDARY INTEGRAL EQUATIONS
Authors: Zhang Han , Anitescu Cosmin , BORDAS Stéphane , Rabczuk Timon , Atroshchenko Elena
Published: June 2022

In this work, we present a deep neural network method for solving two-dimensional boundary value problems (BVPs) formulated in terms of boundary integral equations (BIEs). It is assumed that the boundary is parameterized by Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS), commonly used in CAD, and the solution is approximated by a deep neural network with unknown weights and biases. The network is trained to minimize the loss function, which is formulated as an error in the BIE at a set of collocation points. 

The method inherits main advantages of boundary-type methods over the domain type methods: (a) the problem is solved on the boundary only, hence it requires much smaller number of collocation points, leading to significant savings in the computational cost; (b) for unbounded domains, asymptotic behavior of the solution at infinity is taken into account automatically and BIE is formulated on the inner boundary only; (c) high precision due to the exact NURBS-parameterization of the boundary, tight link to CAD and the ability to treat irregular boundaries (cracks, sharp corners, etc). Standard approaches to integration and removal of kernel singularity, used in Boundary Element Methods (BEM), are adopted.    

Application of the method to three benchmark problems for the Laplace equation is demonstrated. In all cases, a good agreement with the analytical solutions is achieved.

Measurements of cardiac function such as left ventricular ejection fraction and myocardial strain are typically based on 2D ultrasound imaging. The reliability of these measurements strongly depends on the correct pose of the transducer such that the 2D imaging plane properly aligns with the heart for standard measurement views, and is thus dependent on the operator's skills. In this work, we propose a deep learning-based tool that provides real-time feedback on how to move the transducer to obtain the required views. We believe this method can aid less-experienced users to acquire recordings of better quality for measurements and diagnosis, and to improve standardization of images for more experienced users. Training data was generated by slicing 3D ultrasound volumes, which permits to simulate movements of a transducer and 2D imaging plane. Each slice was labelled with an anatomical reference obtained through a semi-automatic annotation procedure, which allowed us to generate substantial amounts of training data. The method was validated and tested on 2D images from several datasets representative of a prospective clinical setting. We proposed a new metric to score the correctness of the transducer movement feedback according to several given criteria, and achieved a success rate of 75% for all models and 95% for the rotational movement. A real-time prototype application was developed based on data streaming from a clinical ultrasound system, which demonstrated the ability of the method to robustly predict the apical rotation and tilt of the 2D ultrasound image plane relative to the heart. 
A shift in norms of gravity and space-time encompassing the complex Newman-Penrose tetrads of general relativity incorporating the constraints of humanity related to extraterrestrials
Authors: Bhattacharjee Deep
Published: June 2022

 

Without violating the 4 natural laws of physics viz. cosmic censorship hypothesis, chronology protection conjecture, special and general theory of relativity, a theory has been established in this paper which would allow the phenomena of explaining the UFOs seen from Earth, International Space Station, Aerial Aircraft in such a way that, mysteries can be solved on how those UFOs can come to Earth either by crossing Mega Parsec (10 6 *3.28 Light Years), Giga Parsec (10 9 *3.28 Light Years) or from the faraway future Earth. Emphasis has been given to mathematical models to solve these mysteries without violating the aforesaid models of physical laws. Time has been treated as a physical dimension parameterized by measurements like other 3 D's. This model aims to reduce space and time using a completely new idea called "Temporal Choke Point" and its associated mathematics by completely relying on known fundamental theories but without violating them in any proper ways possible. And apart from that, a detailed analysis has been done on 'gravity' from the perspectives of string theories and thereby concluding some interesting Phenomenology happening at the micro perspective of the "Temporal Choke Point ξ³ᴰ.
Le competenze digitali degli insegnanti
Authors: Ranieri Maria
Published: June 2022

Over the last years, the interest in teachers’ digital competence has become the object of increasing attention. The progressive digitalization of our societies led the European legislator, in 2006, to reformulate the framework of key competences, introducing digital competence among the new knowledge that school has to promote. Of course, both future and in-service teachers need to be prepared to favour students’ digital skills. This brought the European Commission to release in 2017 the DigCompEdu framework. In this chapter, we will first review some of the main conceptual models inspiring the reflection and research around teachers’ knowledge and digital skills. Then, we will focus on the DigComEdu framework, to illustrate its main areas of competences and the operational values.
“The Island without Peace” Reporting the Irish War of Independence in Corriere della Sera and La Domenica del Corriere
Authors: Ogliari Elena
Published: June 2022

The article investigates the coverage of the War of Independence in the visual and textual materials of Corriere della Sera and La Domenica del Corriere to show why these publications kept a mildly pro-British stance on the conflict while voicing their concerns. These leading publications gave extensive coverage to the Irish struggle for national self-determination, in which members of the Sinn Féin party were depicted as a dangerous minority and Ireland was called “troubled” or “the island without peace”. My contention is that such representations were infl uenced by the editorial staff ’s fears about the contemporary Italian socio-political situation, nationally and internationally. Therefore, the articles and illustrations on the confl ict should be read not only within the framework of the periodicals’ usual concern for international politics, but also by considering the anxieties haunting the Italian intellectual elite at the time.

Published: June 2022

Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) is the most important source of protein, oil and also cash for poor farmers. Lack of improved variety and optimum phosphorus fertilizer rate are the most important limiting factor for the productivity of soybean. Therefore, an experiment was carried out at Omo Kuraz-1 Sugar Development Project during 2018 cropping season to determine the effect of phosphorus (P) fertilizer levels on yield and yield related traits of soybean varieties. Factorial combination of three soybean varieties (Nova, Awassa-04 and Gazolia) and four rates of P fertilizer (0, 23, 46 and 69 kg P205/ha were laid out in a RCBD with three replications. Data were collected for yield and yield components and analyzed using Statistical analysis software (SAS and Genstat). The analyses of variance showed that there was significant difference (p≤ 0.001) among the varieties for the entire tested parameters, indicating the presence of ample genotypic variation among then Awassa-04 Variety produced significantly high grain yield (1183 Kg ha-1 as compared to Gazolia (950 Kg ha-1) and Nova (566 Kg ha-1). Interaction of variety Awassa-04 with 69 Kg P205 ha -1 showed maximum grain yield (1352 Kg ha-1) while the minimum value (403 Kg ha-1) was recorded for interaction of Nova variety with 0 kg P205 ha-1. Based on the economic analysis phosphorus fertilizer application at rate of 69 Kg P205 ha –1 resulted in highest marginal rate of return (350.9%). Therefore, it was conclude that phosphorus fertilizer application at rate of 69 Kg P205 ha-1 can be recommended for the study area. However, further study should be done on different rate of phosphorous to come up with a more comprehensive recommendation.

Islam is a universal religion and an advocate of world-wide peace and unity among people of different backgrounds. It preaches its followers about the unity of the whole humanity. In several verses of Qur’ān and in the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the Muslims Ummah is directed to be united and harmonious. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also presented a great role model from his own life and practices (Sīrah) to establish and maintain unity among the Muslim Ummah. He (PBUH) established brotherhood among the Muhājrīn and the Anṣār and suggested it as a model practice to the whole Ummah. He (PBUH) also narrated the benefits of unity and the disadvantages of dispersal in his sayings. He suggested the effective solutions of differences of opinions and other clashes among the Muslims. This research focuses on deriving the solutions of maintaining the unity and brotherhood in resolving the clashes and differences of ideology among Muslims in the light of the teachings of Islam, especially from The Sīrah (life practice) of The Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) in this age.

Development of territories in the system of state regional policy
Authors: Shebanin Vyacheslav S. , Umanska Valentyna V. , Reshetilov Heorhiy O.
Published: June 2022

Ukraine`s regional policy is currently based on a desire for the long-term view and long-term planning for the development of territorial units, as well as the need to rationalize the use of resource potential and economic infrastructure on the local level. The tasks listed above are deemed necessary to improve the regions` and communities` competitiveness. The paper defines that the territory`s social and economic development continues to be closely connected with strategy, tactics, and implementation of public policy. Accordingly, amid the global economic and financial transformation the strategy and national regional policy need to be continuously improved. The article is devoted to the analysis of the modern trends and prospects for the development of Ukrainian territorial units in view of the current strategy and national regional policy, which are being implemented. Comparison, methods of abstraction, analysis and generalization, graphic and tabular modeling are the research methods used in the article. The paper determines that the prospects for the territory`s economy depend not only on strategy and national regional policy but also on long-term changes in social and economic development, rates of digitalization of Ukrainian economy, degree of innovations and technological effectiveness of domestic enterprises that cannot compete in the global market. A number of amendments to the local development decision were proposed by authors, namely utilizing the existing social and economic frameworks against the impact of the pandemic; promotion of effective demand, which in turn will help reduce local budgets deficits; improvement of taxation policies in order to balance income distribution and lessening the tax burden of the business; using an effective mechanism to allocate financial resources between territories, as well as local and national budgets; adopting an operational best practices in the fight against corruption on the local level, etc.
Integration of internally displaced persons into host communities in the context of contemporary socio-cultural challenges
Authors: Shvets Iryna B. , Sled Oleksandra M. , Bilenska Marharyta M.
Published: June 2022

The article deals with the problems of integration of internally forced migrants in Ukraine in the context of a protracted military and political conflict. The definition and essence of the concept “integration of migrants” in the context of forced internal migration in Ukraine are considered. The state of forced migration in the country as a result of a long-term military and political conflict is analyzed. Internally displaced person (IDP) is considered as a specific category of internal forced migrants. The main indicators of IDP integration are identified as employment opportunities, access to health care and social services, availability of housing, access to education and training for children and adults, communication and social contacts, and the opportunity to vote. The nature, content and participants of the actual process of integration of internally displaced persons are established. It is specified that the success of integration is determined by the combined active interaction of three main factors: government policy on IDP integration; the willingness of the local community to accept IDPs and the desire of IDPs to integrate into the local community. Indicators and aspects of forced relocation, which should be taken into account by the Government’s policy in the process of developing tools for the integration of migrants, are formulated. The challenges faced by migrants as well as residents of host communities are analyzed. Teachers of the displaced university are considered as a specific focus group for a sociological survey of IDP integration. Indicators of forced migrants’ self-assessment of their integration level into local communities are analyzed. The indicators of integration of teachers in the relocated university are compared with similar indicators in Ukraine as a whole. An assessment of the level of trust of displaced teachers in the local community and migrant colleagues is made. The main reasons for the lack of full trust of migrants in local residents are identified. A sociological survey of displaced teachers of the relocated university shows a lack of their integration into the local community and a negative social and psychological state. The inability to restore the pre-crisis level of well-being, unsatisfactory living conditions, latent social conflicts on political and cultural grounds and a low level of trust in local residents hinder the integration process. Ways to strengthen and deepen the integration of migrants into host communities are identified. The migrants are suggested to be considered a valuable human resource that has professional knowledge and experience, the initiator of starting a new business and a carrier of culture.

Using annual data of 37 countries for 2010-2018, the paper studies the relationship between the average GDP growth rate and several exogenous variables analyzed in the context of the Optimal Currency Area (OCA), such as openness for trade and capital flows, inflation and synchronization of the business cycles, based on the cross-section regression model. Similar relationships are estimated for the quarterly time series of Ukraine’s economy for 2010-2020. The paper argues that the GDP rate is positively related to both the openness to foreign trade and lower inflation, a result in line with the implications of the OCA theory. However, a similar stimulating effect of the capital inflows for Ukraine significantly differs from the opposite outcome obtained in the estimates of the cross-section regression for 37 countries. Our results mean that openness for trade is not excessive in Ukraine. While most countries have experienced a decline in the share of exports and imports in GDP since 2010, an upward trend in Ukraine, similar to the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, can be viewed in a favourable way. As there is an inverse relationship between the average GDP growth rate and initial GDP per capita, it is an argument in support of the neoclassical long-term growth models. It is clear that middle-income countries experience the convergence of income in line with the provisions of the neoclassical theory. However, net capital inflows do not play any role in the convergence process, thus rejecting one of the pillars of the neoclassical theory. For the cross-section estimates, no link between economic growth and business cycle synchronization with the main trade partner is detected. On the other hand, economic growth in Ukraine is closely related to the GDP dynamics in the Eurozone, being an extra argument in favour of the European integration process in general and the OCA theory in particular. It is worth noting that the exchange rate depreciation brings about a GDP slowdown in Ukraine. Such an outcome implies that any efforts to compensate for the worsening of the external conditions with an accommodating exchange rate policy seem to be counterproductive. Also, it argues in favour of stable exchange rate arrangements. In a conventional way, an increase in Ukraine’s lending rate is associated with a decrease in the GDP growth rate.

Ensuring the social resistance of the country is a fundamental prerequisite not only for improving the quality of life of the population and its well-being but also for minimizing the social vulnerability of certain categories of the population and territories, reducing social tension, and increasing the level of satisfaction of citizens’ interests. The presence of systemic destabilizing influences on the development of socio-economic relations complicates the implementation of mechanisms and policy tools to weaken the social vulnerability of the population. The article aims to create and test a methodical approach to assessing the level of social vulnerability of the population of Ukraine (spatial approach) and identify differentiated gaps in the values of social vulnerability of the Carpathian region and other regions of Ukraine. The methodology for assessing the level of social vulnerability of the regions of Ukraine provides for the use of an innovative composition of indicators, a multiplicative form of the integrated index, and a formalized verification of the weighting coefficients of indicators. The transformational changes taking place in the economic system and social sphere of the country and its regions have led to the choice of the appropriate structure of the system of social vulnerability indicators for a territory: (1) social tension; (2) employment and labour market; (3) income and expenses of the population; (4) social infrastructure; (5) education. The results of the empirical study show that the oblasts of the Carpathian region have a much higher level of social vulnerability, which correlates with socio-economic trends in the region. Among the regions of the Carpathian region of Ukraine, Lviv region has the highest values of indicators in terms of components ‘Social tension’, ‘Employment and labor market’, ‘Education’, and Transcarpathian region – the lowest. According to the ‘Social Infrastructure’ component, Ivano-Frankivsk region is a leading region. Overcoming the identified destructive influences objectively requires the substantiation of scientific and applied provisions for the formation of an effective mechanism for strengthening the social resilience of the territory in conditions of economic turbulence.

Industry forms the basis for the world economy and national economies, in particular, as it provides intermediate and final consumption products to all other sectors (manufacturing, finance, services) and the population. The article aims to develop a methodology for a comprehensive assessment of the industrial sector efficiency at the meso level and its testing on the example of Polish regions. The authors’ methodology includes three main stages of research. The first stage involves calculating the level of industrial economy and innovation of the country and its regions in terms of sales of industrial products, the cost of innovation of industrial enterprises, and net income from the sale of innovative products. The second stage includes an integrated assessment of the industrial sector’s efficiency. For each of the four selected indicators of efficiency (investment, labor, innovation, and profitability), the taxonomic indicators defined as the arithmetic mean of the three standardized indicators are calculated. In the third stage, the regions are ranked according to the values of taxonomic indicators of the current development state and dynamics, as well as the final integrated indicator of the industry efficiency based on the k-average method. The results of the assessments of the industrial sector of the Polish economy according to the authors’ methodology allow distinguishing three groups of regions by type of industry: the first group – traditionally industrial provinces with a high level of the industrial economy but with signs of reduced capacity and increasing product innovation (Mazovia, Lower Silesia, Silesia, Greater Poland, Lesser Poland, Lodz, Pomerania); the second group – voivodships, which occupy a low share in country’s industry, and are characterized by medium or low values of partial indicators of the current state of labor activity but higher indicators of innovation activity and the strongest dynamics (Subcarpathia, Podlaskia, Opole, Lubusz, Lublin); the third group – voivodships, which are characterized by the non-industrial type of economy and mostly low values of industrial activity (Warmia-Masuria, Swietokrzyskie, West Pomerania, Kuyavia-Pomerania).

The article addresses the substantiation of the role of the financial framework in the innovative and technological development of the country and the possibilities of exporting high-tech products. Modern manifestations of a new innovative and technological development paradigm are outlined. The article emphasizes that today the high-tech sector is an important factor in the development of the global economy and economic systems of some countries, which is becoming especially important for Ukraine. The analysis of development trends in the export of high-tech products in the world market is carried out. The approaches used by the states to map the strategies of innovative and technological development are proven. The typology of innovative strategies of the global technology market entities depending on the influence of internal and external factors, goals and opportunities is revealed. The importance of the state policy in the process of transition to a high-tech innovative economy is emphasized. Dynamic series of the share of research and development expenditures in GDP for the EU and Ukraine in 2010-2020 are constructed. An econometric model of the dependence of high-tech exports of Ukraine on research and development expenditures is developed. As a result, the positive impact of increasing research and development costs on the growth of high-tech exports is established. The role of the "2030 Strategy for Innovation Development" approved in Ukraine in the development of the national innovation ecosystem is revealed. The project "2050 Strategy for the High-Tech Industry Development" in Ukraine is considered. The main problems of financial denial of innovative and technological development in Ukraine are highlighted. The necessity of finding a model focused on changes in the existing structure of investment, primarily in the direction of funding sources differentiation for research and development, is emphasized.
