Authors: Aklani Syaeful Anas
Published: April 2022

With the rapid development of technology, information systems can be developed and used to help people obtain information more easily. One of the systems that are popularly used to present critical information is the operational dashboard which is commonly used in manufacturing industries. Manufacture itself means a process to convert raw materials into a product. It consists of a few processes, namely planning and choosing materials, as well as going through various machine processes that is known as a production line. In each of the production lines, there are line leaders to monitor line performances as well as identify and solve the problem that arises. However, without access to the real-time data of the line performance, it will be difficult to identify the problem and increase the probability of making the wrong choice and additional losses. For that reason, this research aims to analyze, design, and develop a web-based operational dashboard that displays generally used data. Using PHP, JavaScript, Bootstrap as well as SQL Server, the writer succeeded in developing a web-based operational dashboard that could help line leaders in accessing real-time production line data hence allowing them to make a better judgement.

Determination of the appropriate zone on dam surface for floating photovoltaic system installation using RS and GISc technologies
Authors: YILMAZ Osman Salih , GÜLGEN Fatih , ATEŞ Ali Murat
Published: April 2022

This study aims to reveal suitable places where floating photovoltaic-solar power plants (FPV-SPPs) can be installed on the dam surface using the possibilities of remote sensing (RS) and geographical information science (GISc) technologies. Past satellite images from Landsat and Sentinel platforms allow researchers to analyse shoreline changes in the dam surface. Shoreline extraction is a crucial process for the FPV-SPP to stay afloat despite external constraints. In this study, changes in dam water levels were determined by classifying 20-year satellite images and analysing a 32-year global surface water dynamics dataset. The water surface area was calculated as 1,562.40 ha using the random forest (RF) algorithm and the normalized differences water index (NDWI) on Google Earth Engine (GEE) cloud platform. In addition, solar analysis was carried out with GISc using annual solar radiation maps shuttle radar topography mission (SRTM) data, which directly affects the energy production of FPV-SPPs. It has been calculated that the solar radiation on the water surface varies between 1,554 kWh/m2-year and 1,875 kWh/m2-year. These calculated values were divided into five different classes, and it was observed that 88.5% of the dam surface had a very high level of solar radiation compared to other areas. Higher efficiency will be obtained from the FPV-SPP to be installed in this region compared to the systems to be installed in other regions. It has been observed that the radiation values in other parts of the water surface are lower due to topographic shading. These analyses revealed energy zones with high production potential, thereby easing the decision-making process for investors planning to establish FPV-SPPs.
New approaches for outlier detection: The least trimmed squares adjustment
Authors: DİLMAÇ Hasan , ŞİŞMAN Yasemin
Published: April 2022

Classical outlier tests based on the least-squares (LS) have significant disadvantages in some situations. The adjustment computation and classical outlier tests deteriorate when observations include outliers. The robust techniques that are not sensitive to outliers have been developed to detect the outliers. Several methods use robust techniques such as M-estimators, L1- norm, the least trimmed squares etc. The least trimmed squares (LTS) among them have a high-breakdown point. After the theoretical explanation, the adjustment computation has been carried out in this study based on the least squares (LS) and the least trimmed squares (LTS). A certain polynomial with arbitrary values has been used for applications. In this way, the performances of these techniques have been investigated.
Uniqueness in languages with and without articles: Catalan vs Russian
Authors: Serés Daria , Borràs-Comes Joan , Espinal M. Teresa
Published: April 2022

The article compares the interpretation of singular topical nominals in Romance (Catalan) and Slavic (Russian), and its relation to the presence/absence of the article in the overt morphosyntax. The empirical study, presented in this paper, confirmed the theoretical prediction that in Catalan the presence of a definite article conveys uniqueness of the referent, while an indefinite article suggests nonuniqueness. In the absence of articles (in Russian), bare nominals are compatible with both a uniqueness and a non-uniqueness interpretation. The reading of a bare noun phrase is inferred pragmatically, depending on contextual factors and the background knowledge of the interlocutors.
DEVELOPMENT OF A METHOD FOR CALCULATING THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA FROM THE CENTRALITY OF THE NETWORK
Authors: Akhramovich Volodymyr
Published: April 2022

A mathematical model has been developed and a study of the model of personal data protection from network clustering coefficient and data transfer intensity in social networks has been carried out. Dependencies of protection of the system from the size of the system (and from the amount of personal data); information security threats from the network clustering factor. A system of linear equations is obtained, which consists of the equation: rate of change of information flow from social network security and coefficients that reflect the impact of security measures, amount of personal data, leakage rate, change of information protection from network clustering factor, its size, personal data protection. As a result of solving the system of differential equations, mathematical and graphical dependences of the indicator of personal data protection in the social network from different components are obtained. Considering three options for solving the equation near the steady state of the system, we can conclude that, based on the conditions of the ratio of dissipation and natural frequency, the attenuation of the latter to a certain value is carried out periodically, with decaying amplitude, or by exponentially decaying law. A more visual analysis of the system behavior is performed, moving from the differential form of equations to the discrete one and modeling some interval of the system existence.Mathematical and graphical dependences of the system natural frequency, oscillation period, attenuation coefficient are presented. Simulation modeling for values with deviation from the stationary position of the system is carried out. As a result of simulation, it is proved that the social network protection system is nonlinear.

THE EXISTENCE OF THE CONSUMING PERSON IN THE CONTEXT OF SOCIO-NATURAL HISTORY
Authors:   Udmurt State University, Shamshurin A.
Published: April 2022

A socio-natural history assumes the space of human definition. "Man" is defined through two points: "Homo sapiens" described in terms of science and "everyday man" represented in everyday experience. "Homo oeconomicus" becomes the intersection of scientific discourse and everyday knowledge. He fully coincides with the definable "man". "Man consuming" appropriates the social meanings of man so that every interaction and relationship concerns economic meanings. Society in the process of self-description produces social constructs including the construct of "man". Thus, economic discourse collapses with the production of the social. Economy is hermeticized and becomes the standard of social meanings. However, the production of social constructs is preceded by the production of their consumption as a possibility of their existence as social. This production of production (through consumption) closes in on itself. It becomes clear that "consumer society" is constructible. It is possible to reach the limits of economic discourse by "reading" consumption as non-social, i.e., meaningless, production. The non-social turns out to be a null construct as well as a potential possibility of new meanings. Thus "Homo oeconomicus" turns out to be precisely the construct that produces consumption, and thus the production of new social constructs. As an example of this, the discussion of "social networks" is cited in the article

The concept sees social history as “time and space” movement of socio-natural hierarchical system regulating life of population of any level. Thus, the Civil War is viewed as a cyclic (rhythmic) part of a phase of the overpopulated population’s suppression by means of endo-/exogenous factors’ complex of the long-term (28-year long and 112-year long) naturaldemographic cycles. The definitions of some specific events and processes are given (“females’ attacks”, “demographic sack”, “Kotovsk situation” et c.), and all these cases are discovered with a help of the E-database on the long unbreakable lines of complex sociographic information. The methods of marking of social aggression’s (activities) various forms and channels in their cyclic motion are also proposed

Authors:   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Kovalev A. , Krutskikh I.
Published: April 2022

The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has led to significant changes in the working conditions of employees of various organizations. Such phenomena as self-isolation, performing work in remote mode have become common. New working conditions, which required the mobilization of personal and physiological resources, put forward new requirements for the adaptive capabilities of the organisms, and had an impact on the severity of professional deformations. The purpose of this study was to study the impact of being in isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic on the level of development of professional deformations in textile holding employees as an indicator of professional reliability. The study was conducted in May 2020, and 229 people participated in it. The following questionnaires were used - "Maslach Burnout Inventory", "Scale of states", "Scale of general procrastination". Results. It was obtained a significant influence of the factor of functioning in isolation mode on the level of severity of components of professional burnout, such as depersonalization (F=11,524, df=2, p<0.001), reduction of personal achievements (F=5,111, df=2, p=0.008), as well as on the level of procrastination (F=3,230, df=2, p=0.044). At the same time, working people in isolation, especially those who previously had experience of remote work, retained generally higher efficiency than those workers who did not have such experience. Conclusions. Thus, the manifestation of professional deformations in the conditions of isolation had a qualitative specificity associated with the presence of experience in remote mode in the past.

Published: April 2022

A method of data interpretation based on the ratio of spectral amplitudes is proposed, which can be applied as one of the possible approaches, not only as an explosion/earthquake discriminant, but also for confident identification of the analyzed explosion belonging to a specific quarry. The possibility of applying the criterion associated with a change in the trend sign lg(P(f)/Lg(f)) with an increase in frequency is considered for identifying seismic events recorded by the unique scientific installation of the IDG RAS by the small-aperture seismological group of the MSG "Mikhnevo" occurring in the central part of the East European Platform. Studies have been conducted on the possibility of reliable interpretation of seismic data with a small magnitude threshold, of the order of ML=1.5, in order to identify errors in the recognition of explosion/earthquake signals. The results of the application of this technique for the analysis of wave forms obtained from both regional earthquakes and quarry explosions for various epicentral distances recorded at the MSG "Mikhnevo" are described.

SHOLDANESTY WATER PUMP TOWER AS AN ELEMENT OF THE INDUSTRIAL LANDSCAPE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE SILVER AGE IN ARCHITECTURE
Authors:   Historian of architecture and art, Yurchenko N.
Published: April 2022

The water tower in Sholdaneshty (in the north of Moldavia) is most directly related to the construction of the railway on the Beltsy – Rybnitsa – Slobodka line, which played a transformative role in the formation of a new industrial landscape. Similar structures at railway stations were used to refuel steam locomotives with water. They were part of a single complex of roadside construction, which included both the railway station itself and the buildings of the railway depot, warehouses, workshops and other things. Being an advanced technical structure at that time, they were comprehended and designed as worthy artistic objects, in this case resembling fortress architecture. Until now, such objects in Moldavia have not been studied. Meanwhile, taking care of maintaining the old water towers in the proper architectural and artistic form solves not only the issue of preserving and studying the historical past of the region, but also the industrial landscape that was formed at the end of the 19th century.

REFLECTION OF THE RELIEF ON THE HISTORICAL MAPS OF THE NORTHERN BLACK SEA REGION
Authors:   Institute of Geography, Russian Academy of Sciences, Bulanov S.
Published: April 2022

There are 4 stages in the development of the cartography of the Northern Black Sea region, with an emphasis on the mapping of the relief. The first corresponds to antiquity, when the relief as such was not depicted on the maps, and it could be judged by indirect signs. The second corresponds to a time usually attributed to the Middle Ages. At this stage, the relief on the maps of the Northern Black Sea region is often indicated by special icons, less often by lines, which, however, were more likely works of art than sources of information about objects on the ground, moreover, about the accuracy of their location. The presence and nature of these icons, as a rule, were dictated by the taste, imagination, and limited awareness of the authors of the maps. The third stage – New time – an era of rapid development of science and industry, as well as new socio-political tasks that confronted cartographers. This is the era of the transition of maps of the Northern Black Sea region to an accurate mathematical basis, a large scale, specialization in purpose and branches of knowledge. Relief display moves to a new qualitative level, and it often becomes the main content of maps, especially topographic ones. The fourth stage is primarily the 20th and 21st centuries. The method of isolines (horizontals) becomes the leading one, which in recent decades has been actively supplemented by aerospace information and computer processing.

Introduction

Jan Janowicz was born in 1893 in Giełuta. After arriving in Olsztyn in 1945, he began the process of establishing a surgical department in Olsztyn. In a short time, he set up hospital wards and outpatient clinics, which provided surgical care to the inhabitants of Olsztyn and Olsztyn voivodeship. Due to the lack of specialist staff, he was simultaneously the head of department at three hospitals in Olsztyn. On his initiative and under his supervision, independent departments of orthopedics, pediatric surgery, urology, and thoracic surgery were established. Jan Janowicz, as a pioneer in Olsztyn’s surgery and the founder of new departments, became the most important and most distinguished surgeon in the post-war history of medicine of Warmia and Mazury.

Aim

The aim of the study is to present the biography of Jan Janowicz, the pioneer and most distinguished surgeon of Olsztyn and the Warmian-Masurian voivodeship.

Material and methods

The study is based on the available literature as well as the authors’ own research.

Results and discussion

We present a biography of Jan Janowicz, a pioneer of Olsztyn’s medicine.

Conclusions

Doctor Janowicz, who came to Olsztyn in 1945, was a pioneer and the first person to organize surgical care in what is now the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. His activities led to the establishment of independent departments of pediatric surgery, orthopedics, urology, and thoracic surgery.
Parent-Child Communication: A Case Study of Teachers from a Romanian Life-Sciences University
Authors: Samfira Elena Mirela
Published: April 2022

The aim of this paper was to explore and present a specific point of view of university teacher parents about communication with their children, using focus group interviews. The focus group was conducted with tenured teachers (N = 12) from a Life Science university from western Romania.  The parents’ ages varied from 34 to 48 years old (M age = 39.83 years) and relating to gender, there were 7 females and 5 males. Data collected from the interviews were analyzed using thematic analyses methods. Most of the parents have considered that parent-child communication represents an essential element in child development and in a positive family environment. Time, stress and overuse of technology are considered, by questioned parents, to be the main barriers to positive and efficient communication with their children. School is not perceived as a catalyst in developing a positive parent-child communication.  Even if the parents are tenured university teachers, with knowledge in effective communication, and high expectations from society to be especially good at parent-child communication, they face the same difficulties as any other parents. This aspect could lead to a conclusion that the problems of parent-child communication could be a general one. The implications for families with school-age children are discussed.
Domestic Violence and Effective Strategies for Tackling its Consequences on Students’ Educational Aspirations in Kwara State, Nigeria
Authors: Abulaziz Isiaka , Olokooba Issa Nasiru
Published: April 2022

This is a descriptive study that examined the prevalence of domestic violence and effective strategies for tackling its consequences on students’ educational aspirations in Kwara State, Nigeria. The sample for this study was made up of 200 students and 150 teachers drawn from ten secondary schools which spread across Kwara Central senatorial district, totaling 350 respondents for the study. Data for this study was collected through a questionnaire, two research questions were raised and answered and three research hypotheses were postulated and tested. Findings revealed that the prevalence of domestic violence among couples includes pouring acid on one another, the cutting of the manhood by the wife, stabbing one another, pouring hot water on one another, poisoning one another through food or other means, beating, kicking, and slapping the wife. Findings further revealed that effective strategies for tackling domestic violence in Kwara Central are tolerance, patience, an anti-domestic violence sensitization forum, avoiding third party involvement, and the creation of a guidance and counseling unit. Other strategies include the situation where the husband should be held responsible, extra marital affairs should be avoided, husbands should avoid acquiring many wives with a low income, family interference should be avoided, and couples should learn how to say sorry to each other. These would all help to tackle domestic violence in society. It was recommended that the Government should set up an enlightenment campaign for couples to help eradicate domestic violence. There should also be a punishment for those that violate the rules and regulations of tackling the menace of domestic violence. Religious leaders should intensify efforts to fight against domestic violence in the society at large.
Understanding European Colonization in Michel de Montaigne’s “Of Cannibals” and Francis Bacon’s “Of Plantations”
Authors: Sharma Saloni
Published: April 2022

The European colonization of the Americas has been an important conversation in academic discourse for some time now; it is evident that it has come to shape many societies in both ongoing and long-lasting ways.  By turning to the literature that was produced during this colonization period, contemporary readers gain a deeper understanding of the ideas and thoughts that contribute to notions of race and otherness today. This paper focuses on Michel de Montaigne’s essay “Of Cannibals” (1580) and Francis Bacon’s essay “Of Plantations” (1625). The essayists take up discussions of colonization through a similar yet conflicting lens. They both discuss purity and Edenic landscapes in the new world and also recognize the potential for it to be tainted by Europeans. However, they come to different conclusions when justifying colonization due to their positions in European society. However, they simultaneously come together and open up a larger discussion surrounding differences of  religion and humanism in European culture. This paper aims to discuss the complexity and importance of literature from the age of exploration and colonization.

Racialized Women in Canada: Is COVID-19 the Turning Point to More Equality?
Authors: Kalapurayil Mariavian
Published: April 2022

The purpose of this paper is to show that currently, the most important issue in gender and politics in Canada is the disproportionate effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on racialized women. I use critical-race feminist theory and Dr. Kimberle Crenshaw’s concept of ‘intersectionality’ to evaluate Canadian case studies that demonstrate my argument. Racialized women face unique challenges which neither racism nor sexism can sufficiently address, and I argue that these challenges have been worsened due to the pandemic. This topic is important because, in the midst of the pandemic, it can be easy to disregard or forget the injustices experienced by racialized women. However, by revealing the direct impacts of the pandemic on such women, this paper brings attention to these injustices and advocates for more equality in Canadian society.
John Boyd and his Gulf War
Authors: Gallipoli Anthony
Published: April 2022

This paper investigates the critical role that United States Air Force Colonel John Boyd played in the Gulf War of 1991 leading to the Coalition’s swift victory over Iraqi forces. John Boyd’s presentations to U.S government officials several years before the Gulf War would eventually prove to be a critical, if not unheralded moment in the development of the modern American military strategy. Boyd’s theorems about military strategy proved to be revolutionary as one writer has claimed that John Boyd is one of the great military strategists of all time, comparing him to the likes of Sun Tzu and Carl Von Clausewitz. Indeed, Boyd may be partly responsible for injecting the American war doctrine with a fresh perspective following the debacle known as the Vietnam War. Alongside his development of a modern doctrine of war, Boyd was responsible for helping develop the F-15 and F-16 aircrafts. Clearly, the efforts of Colonel Boyd played an important role in the revitalization of the American war machine.
Menstrual cycle effects on sleep
Authors: Gupta PD
Published: April 2022

Sleep and menstrual cycle both are normal physiological processes in women’s life but they are regulated by different centers. Sleep is a daily rhythm whereas the menstrual cycle lasts for 28 days. During this period the estrogen peaks twice. We have shown earlier that there is an inverse relationship between estrogen and the hormone melatonin which aids sleep. Because of this menstruating women will have sleep disorders.

A Evangelização do Continente, meta da Pastoral que reúne esta III Assembléia, admite com efeito várias estratégias (deixando as táticas por conta das Conferências Nacionais e das Regiões Episcopais) de que nós, simples cristãos submetidos à orientação episcopal da América Latina, podemos tomar consciência...
A Evangelização: Sua Configuração e seus Critérios
Authors: Ruiz de Gopegui Juan A.
Published: April 2022

O Documento de Trabalho para a III Conferência Geral do Episcopado Latino-Americano, que se realizará proximamente em Puebla, dedica a primeira das Notas, anexas ao texto, ao tema dos «Critérios da Evangelização». A importância do assunto não precisa ser encarecida. A maneira de conceber tais critérios terá uma influência decisiva na apreciação crítica de um documento, centrado todo ele no tema da evangelização, como o indica seu título: «A Evangelização no presente e no futuro da América Latina».

Não pretendo, neste artigo, apresentar uma avaliação do texto dessa Nota, provavelmente desconhecido para muitos leitores, mas a partir dela fazer alguma reflexões sobre um tema tão relevante para a evangelização, numa perspectiva diferente, tentando superar alguns dos inconvenientes que, ao meu ver, se seguem da forma em que ele é abordado na nota em questão.
Igreja Particular

Published: April 2022

Comunidade divino-humana, a Igreja só existe quando o Espírito e os homens se unem formando um todo, que é, ao mesmo tempo, comunicação e apelo de Deus e entrega e resposta do homem.

Divino e humano nesta união vital e dinâmica são essencialmente a Igreja...

O tema deste encontro poderá parecer à primeira vista muito óbvio: «Instituições de Teologia e pluralismo cultural». Todos nós sabemos o que são Instituições de Teologia; nelas estudamos, nelas estamos integrados como corpo docente e mesmo como direção. E o fato de virmos dos quatro quadrantes do globo pode seduzir-nos a pensar que igualmente o segundo componente do título (o pluralismo cultural) é algo que se patenteia pela própria diversidade de nossas procedências...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral zoonosis caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). High sensitive Troponin cardiac (hs-cTn) is a biomarker frequently measured during the management of COVID-19. We conducted a descriptive retrospective study at the Paraclinical Service of Training and Researches in Biochemistry at the University Hospital Center of Joseph Ravoahangy Andrianavalona Madagascar over a period of five months. Our objective was to describe the modalities and the relevance of the prescription of hs-cTn determination within the intensive care units of the hospital. Of the 42 patient files collected in our work, we found a slight male predominance (sex ratio = 1.47) and the average age was 56.8 years. In 18 patients, hs-cTn was positive and among the 19 patients who died as a result of their disease 11 had elevated plasma troponin levels. During COVID 19, troponin assay should be prescribed appropriately to enhance the management of patients in a developing country like Madagascar where the cost of assaying this biomarker remains high

Published: April 2022

Regional Original Income is revenue that is obtained by the regional government for the implementation of government and services to the community. One source of local revenue is the restaurant tax. However, often the tax is not optimal because it is considered to result in high economic costs and less support for business or investment including restaurant tax. The purpose of this study was to determine the provisions of administrative sanctions against restaurant tax offenders. This research uses normative juridical research with data in the form of books, journals, research results, and related laws and regulations. The results showed that restaurant tax as a source of local revenue was regulated by Regional Regulation. Provisions on administrative sanctions are regulated in regional regulations by adjusting the conditions in each area. Local regulations on restaurant taxes should contain clear and strict sanctions so they can be effective.Keywords: administrative sanctions, restaurant tax, local own income
