TRADITIONAL GOVERNANCE SYSTEM AND THE CONTROL OF INSURGENCY IN BADE EMIRATE, YOBE STATE
Authors: Shehu Gusau Abdullahi , Abdulkadir Salahudeen , Musa Musa Bulama
Published: March 2020

Insecurity has remained one of the daunting problems in human organizations since time immemorial. Human beings are in constant search for security to ensure self-sustenance and societal development. The traditional governance system plays an important role in the formation, growth, and development of society. These roles such as maintenance of peace, provision of leadership roles, proprietary to culture and custom of the people and above all ensuring the transitions of the values of the society from one generation to another. In Yobe State the threat of insecurity posed by the rise of the Boko Haram insurgency could be traced to governance issues where governance is defined as the way and manner, including all the institutional arrangements through which a country pursue its internal policies and external relations with ‘development’ at its core. Therefore, given the character of the traditional institutions in Yobe state and Bade emirate in particular in uniting the community to ensure proper security of lives and property. This paper thus intends to interrogate the security challenges in contemporary Bade emirate with emphasis on the role of the traditional governance system in promoting security. The paper adopted the primary and secondary method of data collection anchored on the Mass Society theory. The major findings of the paper reveal that insecurity in Yobe state and Nigeria, in general, can no longer be interrogated from the militarists’ perspective alone, but rather a re-thinking on the traditional governance system to check the persistence of the violations of the traditional political, economic and social relations among citizens that breeds suspicion and distrusts. The paper recommends amongst other things that, the government should as a matter of urgency put in place, policies, and programs that will strengthen the traditional institutions throughout the country so that they can perform their traditional roles as custodians of the values of the society.

Authors: Kisała Jakub , Czarnacka Karolina , Gęca Mateusz , Kociubiński Andrzej
Published: March 2020

The paper presents the technology for obtaining NiFe/Ti/NiFe layer structures in MEMS technology using magnetron purge with the assumption of being used as semi-magnetic sensors. A series of samples was made on a glass substrate with a sandwich structure, where the individual layers were 100 nm NiFe, 10 nm Ti and on top again NiFe with a thickness of 100 nm. Measurements of DC resistance of the obtained structures in a constant magnetic field, which was produced by neodymium magnets and an electromagnet, were carried out. The obtained results confirm the occurrence of phenomena known as the magnetoresistance effect. The influence of the spatial arrangement of structures relative to the constant magnetic field vector was checked and proved.

Authors: Haliuk Serhii , Krulikovskyi Oleh , Vlasenko Vitalii
Published: March 2020

In this article, we described specifics of pixels permutations based on the discretized, two-dimensional Chirikov standard map. Some properties of the discretized Chirikov map can be used by an attacker to recover the original images that are studied. For images with dimensions N ´ N the vulnerability of permutations allows for brute force attacks, and shown is the ability of an intruder to restore the original image without setting the value of keys permutations. Presented is also, successful cryptographic attack on the encrypted image through permutation of pixels. It is found that for images with dimension N ´ N the maximum number of combinations is equal to NN-1. A modified Chirikov map was proposed with improved permutation properties, due to the use of two nonlinearities, that increase the keys space to N2!.

Authors: Vanchulyak Oleg , Golub Serhii , Talakh Mariia , Gantyuk Vyacheslav
Published: March 2020

The work combines methods of multidimensional polarization microscopy, statistical processing of data and inductive modeling with the purpose of constructing a methodology for creation of intelligent systems for multi-level forensic medical monitoring based on the example of the post-mortem diagnosis of coronary heart disease and acute coronary insufficiency. The task of classifying the results of the study of biological materials for obtaining a diagnosis was solved. To obtain informative features, a model of biological tissue of the myocardium was developed and the main diagnostic parameters were determined (statistical moments of 1–4 orders of coordinate distributions of the values of azimuths and the ellipticity of polarization and their autocorrelation functions, as well as wavelet coefficients of the corresponding distributions), which are dynamic due to its necrotic changes. The classification of these data was provided by constructing a deciding rule in the multi – raw algorithm of the GMDH. The effectiveness of the described methodology has been experimentally proved.

The paper shows the results of the development of a photodiode technology based on gallium phosphide structure n+-n-GaP-Au with high sensitivity. It provides the ion etching of the surface of the gallium phosphide before an application of a leading electrode of gold. The barrier layer of a 20 nm thick gold is applied to the substrate in the magnetic field of GaP. When forming the contact with the reverse side of the indium substrate at 600°C, there occurs the annealing of the gold barrier layer. At the maximum of the spectral characteristics obtained by the photodiode, it has a sensitivity of 0.13 A/W, and at a wavelength of 254 nm – about 0.06 A/W. The dynamic range of the photodiode is not less than 107.

Published: March 2020

Random sequences are used in various applications in construction of cryptographic systems or formations of noise-type signals. For these tasks there is used the program generator of random sequences which is the determined device. Such a generator, as a rule, has special requirements concerning the quality of the numbers formation sequence. In cryptographic systems, the most often used are linearly – congruent generators, the main disadvantage of which is the short period of formation of pseudo-random number sequences. For this reason, in the article there is proposed the use of chaos generators as the period of the formed selection in this case depends on the size of digit net of the used computing system. It is obvious that the quality of the chaos generator has to be estimated through a system of the NIST tests. Therefore, detailed assessment of their statistical characteristics is necessary for practical application of chaos generators in cryptographic systems. In the article there are considered various generators and there is also given the qualitative assessment of the formation based on the binary random sequence. Considered are also the features of testing random number generators using the system. It is determined that not all chaos generators meet the requirements of the NIST tests. The article proposed the methods for improving statistical properties of chaos generators. The method of comparative analysis of random number generators based on NIST statistical tests is proposed, which allows to select generators with the best statistical properties. Proposed are also methods for improving the statistical characteristics of binary sequences, which are formed on the basis of various chaos generators.

Published: March 2020

The modified surface layers of the Cd1-xMnxTe crystals were obtained by the laser recrystallization of the crystal surface with the use of millisecond and nanosecond ruby ​​lasers. The determination and diagnostics of the layer structural state were performed by the study the electron channeling patterns in the SEM. The AFM studies showed that mechanically stable contact regions in the CdTe crystal – Cu film system can be formed, depending on the laser energy density and beam defocusing. On the base of the ellipsometric studies, it was found that while irradiating the Cd1-xMnxTe crystal surface, the refractive index of the oxide film on the modified surface changes depending on the laser beam energy density, which can be interpreted as the formation of the oxides of the different chemical composition.

Published: March 2020

Objective: To evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of essential oils (EOs) of thyme, clove, and cinnamon to broiler chickens on growth performance, serum metabolites, and tissue lipid peroxidation and antioxidants enzyme activities. Design: Randomized controlled study Animals: One hundred-eighty, one-day-old Cobb broiler chicks were randomly allocated into 4 treatment groups (3 replicates, 15 chicks each). Broilers were reared in deep litter system - pens for 6 weeks of age. Procedures: The control group was fed on corn-soybean basal control diets (starter, grower and finisher) without EOs supplementation. In addition to the basal- control diets, the 3 experimental broiler groups were supplemented with thyme oil (2nd group), clove oil (3rd group) or cinnamon oil (4th group) at 100 mg/kg. Blood, liver and muscle (breast) samples were collected from 3 broilers of each replicate at 40 days of age for measurement of serum metabolites, malondialdehyde (MDA), and antioxidant enzyme activities (liver catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). Results: The broiler chickens fed on the diets supplemented with 100 mg/kg cinnamon oil had significantly higher body weight, body weight gain and feed intake, followed by broiler chickens fed on the diets supplemented with 100 mg/kg thyme and 100 mg/kg clove oils in comparison with control group, which was showed the lowest growth performance. Supplementation with EOs significantly improved feed conversion ratio (FCR), with increased liver CAT, SOD, GSH-Px activities, as well as serum level of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in comparison with control group, also, it induced a significant decrease in serum levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein (LDL), as well as both liver and muscle tissue lipid peroxidation (MDA). Conclusion and clinical relevance: The present results indicate that dietary supplementation of EOs (thyme, clove, and cinnamon) at 100 mg/kg resulted in significantly higher body weight, body weight gain, improved FCR, reduced serum cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL. Also, reduced lipid peroxidation in liver and muscle, and improved antioxidants status of broiler chickens.
Coupling of Reactive Power Planning for Operation and Voltage Stability Enhancement
Authors: Samaan Stefanie , Knittel Markus , Dizes Spyridon Iason , Moser Albert
Published: March 2020

The ongoing decommissioning
of conventional power plants decreases the installed reactive power reserves
for voltage control in transmission grids. Hence, an efficient planning of
compensation devices substituting this lack of reactive power is required. Grid
operators must allocate these devices for steady-state voltage control and for
dynamic voltage control ensuring voltage stability. A separate determination of
this static and dynamic VAR demand, however, fails to exploit synergies and
disregards that VAR compensation in steady-state reduces the reserves for
dynamic compensation. This paper proposes a coupled determination of the system
static and dynamic VAR demand. An optimisation method applying mixed-integer
programming identifies an efficient allocation and portfolio consisting of
different compensation technologies. It includes constraints for voltage limits
during steady-state and contingencies as well as for long-term voltage
stability. Results emphasise that the method identifies an efficient portfolio
for various operation and fault scenarios, while providing the required voltage
stability margin.
A Functionally Separate Autoencoder
Authors: Wei Jinxin
Published: March 2020

According to kids’ learning process, an auto-encoder is designed which can be split into two parts. The two parts can work well separately.The top half is an abstract network which is trained by supervised learning and can be used to classify and regress. The bottom half is a concrete network which is accomplished by inverse function and trained by self-supervised learning. It can generate the input of abstract network from concept or label. The network can achieve its intended functionality through testing by mnist dataset and convolution neural network. Round function is added between the abstract network and concrete network in order to get the the representative generation of class. The generation ability  can be increased by adding jump connection and negative feedback. At last, the characteristics of the network is discussed. The input can be changed to any form by encoder and then change it back by decoder through inverse function. The concrete network can be seen as the memory stored by the parameters. Lethe is that when new knowledge input, the training process makes the parameters change.
ВНЕШНИЙ ВОДООБМЕН В ПОЛЕЗНОМ ОБЪЕМЕ СРЕДНЕДНЕПРОВСКОГО ВОДОХРАНИЛИЩА В ПРОЕКТНЫХ И ЕГО СОВРЕМЕННЫХ ПАРАМЕТРАХ
Authors: Obukhov E.
Published: March 2020

Проблемой водохранилищ в настоящее время является их функционирование в условиях изменяющегося климата. Управление водными ресурсами водных объектов, оценка состояния и происходящих в них процессов требуют постоянного мониторинга и анализа. Цель работы – исследование интенсивности внешнего водообмена на Среднеднепровском водохранилище, горизонтальной и вертикальной составляющих водообмена, а также хозяйственного использования объекта. На основе водобалансовых составляющих исследована интенсивность внешнего водообмена в полезном объеме водохранилища в проектных и его современных параметрах с учетом водности года за весь период эксплуатации: многоводный 1970 г., маловодный 1972 г. и очень маловодный 2015 г. Определены коэффициенты интенсивности и показатели внешнего водообмена по каждому месяцу года, месяцы с максимальной и минимальной интенсивностями внешнего водообмена во временных единицах и основной фактор влияния на него – боковая приточность в водохранилище. Максимальная интенсивность внешнего водообмена в водохранилище в очень маловодном году в весенний и осенний периоды эксплуатации ухудшилась по отношению к многоводному году в четыре раза. Установлено, что чем больше коэффициент интенсивности внешнего водообмена, тем меньше показатель внешнего водообмена во временных единицах и интенсивнее происходят смена и самоочищение воды в водохранилище. Если показатель внешнего водообмена меньше единицы, то смена нормативных водных ресурсов водохранилища будет происходить меньше чем за год. Результаты исследований могут быть полезными при разработке режимов эксплуатации водохранилища в условиях изменения климата. Библ. 4, табл. 1, рис. 5
АНАЛІЗ ГІДРОГЕОЛОГІЧНИХ І ГЕОТЕРМІЧНИХ ХАРАКТЕРИСТИК ГЕОТЕРМАЛЬНИХ ОБ’ЄКТІВ УКРАЇНИ
Authors: Barylo А.
Published: March 2020

На основі матеріалів «Державного інформаційного геологічного фонду України» створено базу даних геотермальних об’єктів, в яку увійшло 655 об’єкта, які охоплюють 12 адміністративних областей України і близько 54 % існуючих родовищ вуглеводнів. Основними геотермічними і гідрогеологічними характеристиками об’єктів бази даних є: глибина залягання, літологія і склад порід, геологічний вік порід, товщина продуктивного горизонту, пластова температура і пластовий тиск, дебіт свердловини, зниження рівня води у водоносному горизонті під час випробування, мінералізація, газовий склад і вміст природного газу у підземних водах.
Аналіз гідрогеологічних і геотермічних характеристик геотермальних об’єктів виконано на основі структурно-гідрогеологічного принципу, тобто усі об’єкти розглядались стосовно крупних гідрогеологічних структур з єдиними регіональними межами і умовами формування родовищ підземних вод. Було проаналізовано чотири гідрогеологічні структури: Закарпатський внутрішній прогин, Прикарпатський передгірний прогини, Дніпровсько-Донецький артезіанський басейн та Причорноморський артезіанський басейн. Для кожної структури побудовано діаграми розподілу пластових температур, глибин залягання і мінералізації підземних вод в геотермальних об'єктах бази даних.
Аналіз показав, що умови формування геотермальних родовищ в першу чергу залежать від теплового фону земних надр, але на процеси формування родовищ дуже істотний вплив має глибина залягання кристалічного фундаменту, розташування областей живлення і розвантаження термоводоносних горизонтів, глибина сучасного водообміну, літологічний склад водовмісних порід.
Створена база даних геотермальних об’єктів України може бути використана під час вибору першочергових проектів освоєння геотермальних ресурсів, а також для стратегічного планування геотермальної галузі в цілому. Бібл. 10, рис. 14.

Authors: Marzal Miguel-Ángel , Borges Jussara
Published: March 2020

This study describes the premises underlying Voremetur, a project conducted in the context of higher education. It hypothesises the need to support a competence education method adapted to new educational formulas (from e- to m-learning), new educational challenges (e-science, big data) and the convergent competences now characterised as info-communication literacy, which has favoured the transition from edu-communication to multiliteracy. Such competences should be organised into competence programmes, where the assessment of the beneficial results for learners and the university should be included as an essential element. The article discusses an assessment model for new literacies, including its conceptual framework, ideal evaluation tools and conversion into an ad hoc questionnaire. Lastly, the paper describes model application to a target group and analyses the results most relevant to information behaviour.

The Title IX Contract Quagmire
Authors: Freeman Bryce
Published: March 2020

Courts and scholars have long grappled with whether and to what extent educational institutions are in contract with their students. If they are, then students can sue their private universities for breaching that contract— ordinarily understood as the student handbook and other materials—when the institution levies a disciplinary action against the student. But what promises, both implicit and explicit, do private universities make to their students that courts should enforce? This question has resurfaced in the Title IX context, where courts have largely drawn clear dividing lines between the rights of public and private university students. This Comment provides a framework to understand courts’ approaches to contract law and higher education as well as implications for Title IX.

ON THE BASIS OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Authors: Khovrak Inna
Published: March 2020

Introduction. Higher education institutions (HEIs) play a special role in shaping society, so they must both disseminate knowledge of the world experience of social responsibility and adhere to the principles of social responsibility. HEIs should be actively involved in community initiatives, inter-sectoral dialogue, and help to develop regional and national policy standards. In turn, the social responsibility of institutions leads to a strengthening of their reputation. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to substantiate the role of social responsibility of higher education institutions in building their reputational capital.
Methods. The following methods were used in the study: quantitative and content analysis of the literary sources of the Web of Science Core Collection database (for the period 1970-2019) on the topics "reputation", "reputation capital" and "reputation of higher education institutions"; comparative analysis of the results of the World Reputation Rankings rankings for the period 2011-2019 and the key performance indicators of the TOP-10 HEIs; graphical, abstract and logical methods – to substantiate the cooperation of HEI with stakeholders; method of scientific generalization – to reflect the expediency of managing the reputation of HEI on the basis of social responsibility.
Results. The interest of scientists on the topic of managing the reputation of HEI in the context of countries, directions and years are analysed in the article. The analysis of the World Reputation Rankings indicators revealed the common features and differences of the TOP-10 HEI by the following criteria: reputation level, cost of education, living expenses, salary after 10 years, number of students per teacher, percentage of foreign students, ratio of students to women and men, number of full-time students. The author considered various options of cooperation of HEI with stakeholders, and also outlined the strategic advantages of forming HEI’s reputation capital on the principles of social responsibility.
Discussion. Further research is planned to be conducted on developing a model for ensuring the development of HEIs based on social responsibility.
Keywords: higher education institutions, social responsibility, reputation, reputational risks, rating.

The comparative analysis method was used to analyze the role of the public-private partnership mechanism in solving of public problems, the expert method was used to reveal the features of advisory support for the use of the public-private partnership mechanism, the analysis, synthesis and analogy methods were used to determination of approaches for solving environmental problems at the economic level, generalization method to form the conclusions of the study.
Results. Expediency of strengthening of competitive position of business entities on the basis of optimization of transport expenditures, volumes and duration of storage of commodity and material resources and products have been proved. This is connected with theoretical direction of eco-logistics. Description of aim marks of development of ecological logistics have been represented.
Legislative characteristic: the concept of “public and private partnership” and its advantages, objects and signs of PPP, forms and PPP contract areas have been represented.
Four-stages algorithm of advisory support of use of public-private partnership contracts have been substantiated in eco-logistics within the next four stages: 1. search of competitions of state financing of PPP projects and participation in them; 2. search the best partners for realization of PPP projects; 3. substantiation of directions of optimization of market expenses; 4. adjustment of system of strategic and operational management.
Discussion for further research are to divide competency between state and privates partners of public-private partnerships and to balance between economical and ecological efficiency in the eco-logistics projects.
Keywords: eco-logistics, public-private partnership, advisory support, management, cost-effectiveness, eco-efficiency.
COVID-19 pandemic spread across geographical and social borders: Can we face it?
Authors: Dzúrová Dagmar , Jarolímek Jan
Published: March 2020

The global health threat of the novel coronavirus virus SARS-CoV-2 has been the most severe virus since the (A) H1N1 influenza pandemic of 1918–1920. The aim of this paper is to document the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, on the basis of daily WHO and Chinese CDC data, from the time of the first recorded outbreak of the epidemic. Furthermore, the aim of the paper, based on knowledge of the epidemic cycle in the province of Hubei, is to attempt to simulate the future development of the epidemic in the Czech population. According to the optimistic prediction model, it is expected that the epidemic peak could occur in Czechia in mid-April with a daily number of 700–750 new cases. The total number of people with confirmed disease could reach roughly 20,000 (20% of people may experience serious health complications). The conclusion of the article points to the need for Czechia to build its own infrastructure to cover the needs of the state – especially in the areas of preparedness of medical facilities, medical staff, and the availability of protective equipment and medicines.
Region as a social construct and the critical discussion of the Paasi’s conceptualization of regional identity
Authors: Marek Petr
Published: March 2020

Both the institutionalization of regions theory and the conceptualization of regional identity by Anssi Paasi are highly cited. However, various authors work with Paasi’s classification of regional identity and meanings of its dimensions differently. This is closely related to an insufficient discussion of the existence of region as a social fact. This article discusses social constructionism and the relationship of individual dimensions of regional identity. Crucial to the existence of region are the subjective images of region that can be identified with perceptual regions. Region as a social fact exists only in the knowledge/consciousness of people. In addition to perceptual regions, “objective” regions – homogeneous/formal and functional regions – are part of the identity of region. The identity of region (perceptual regions, specifically) is a condition for the regional consciousness of people which is a mere “superstructure” of region.
Development and regional differentiation of organic agriculture in Czechia
Authors: Hrabák Jiří , Zagata Lukáš
Published: March 2020

Available studies show that organic agriculture is mainly concentrated in mountain and upland areas of Czechia. However, more detailed information about the gist of the differentiation process is missing. The main goal of this paper is to evaluate the development and regional differentiation of organic agriculture in Czechia. On this basis we will describe the diffusion process in the organic sector and discuss the relation between natural conditions and the localization of organic farming. The differentiation processes are quantitatively analyzed with the use of the secondary data on several spatial levels (regions – districts – land blocks) and visualized by cartograms. The findings of the study suggest that organic agriculture has been concentrated mainly in peripheral areas with less favorable conditions for agriculture that are typical of relatively high altitude and field slopes. The study confirms that most farms in these regions have already been converted to organic agriculture and further potential to grow remains in areas with fertile land through the conversion of arable land that is farmed conventionally.
Notions of local democracy among Czech mayors
Authors: Čermák Daniel , Mikešová Renáta
Published: March 2020

The aim of this manuscript is to analyze notions of democracy among Czech mayors. Czechia is dotted with municipalities of various sizes, each with its own mayor, each of whom has a vision of how democracy at the local level should be practiced. Our focus here is on two types of democracies that are seen as alternatives: participatory democracy and representative democracy. For the analyses, two mutually interleaved data sources concerning the Czech mayors were employed: Political Leaders in European Cities (2015) and European Mayor II (2016). Based on an analysis of mayors’ attitudes towards local democracy, our findings suggest that municipal size is an important predictor of local democracy in Czechia - although an association of these attitudes with the mayor’s partisanship and age was found as well. The data also shows a relatively strong connection between attitudes towards local democracy and the mayors’ support for reform at the local level, including the instruments of direct democracy.
Effects of plant-derived immunomodulators and lizak preparation in vitro taken separately or in combination on the immune factors of palatine tonsils of children with chronic tonsillitis
Authors: Bredun Alexander Yu. , Melnikov Oleg F. , Timchenko Мarina D.
Published: March 2020

Introduction: Chronic inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract of both microbial and viral origin occur due to the immune deficiency of systemic and local nature. Among a large number of immunomodulation agents, a special role belongs to plant preparations, which are characterized by relative harmlessness and high efficiency, both in case of systemic and local use and they are often combined with antimicrobial agents, therefore the aim of the study was to investigate their effect on the reactions and condition of lymphoid cells of tonsilswith separate and combined use in vitro.
Methods: Cell suspensions were prepared mechanically and adjusted to a concentration of 2 million/ml in medium 199 with additives. Then, Lizak preparation was added to the cells and starch solution was used in control. Imupret and Esberitox preparations were added to the culture with or without Lizak preparation. After cultivation, the levels of proinflammatory cytokine – Interleukin-1β, pro-allergic factor – Interleukin-4, Th-1 – derivative of cytokine – interferon-γ were studied in the supernatant using the «Tsitokin LLC» reagent kits (RF), as well as tissue regeneration factor – transforming growth factor –TGF-1β (Austria). The preparation was prepared from the cell pellet, in which the relative nonviable cell count was determined in a sample with trypan blue using a light microscope (Olympus CX21FS1).The statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-distribution.
Results: Plant-derived preparations did not have any effect on cell viability in culture, did not reduce the level of the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β and did not stimulate the production of the regeneration factor TGF-1β. At the same time, the combined use of plant-derived preparations and the antibacterial preparation Lizak in cell culture of tonsils was accompanied by an increase in cell viability compared to the use of Lizak preparation separately, the stimulation of the regulatory antiviral factor interferon-γ and an increase in the production of tissue regeneration factor.
Conclusion: The immunomodulating properties of the antibacterial preparation Lizak and plant-derived immunomodulator Esberitox significantly differ in the points of application.
Both plant-derived preparations stimulated the production of γ-interferon by tonsil cells in the presence of Lizak preparation, the transforming growth factor TGF-1β, the viability of tonsil cells was the highest with the combination of Lizak and Esberitox.
