Authors: Khridochkin Andrii
Published: July 2019

The conceptual bases of administrative liability for intellectual property legislation offence are revealed in the article. The existing legislative base providing administrative and legal protection of intellectual property in Ukraine is analyzed. Subjects of administrative and legal protection of intellectual property in Ukraine are defined. The competence of subjects of intellectual property administrative and legal protection is analyzed. Specific features of intellectual property as a subject of administrative and legal protection are characterized. It is concluded that these features must be taken into account.

The basis for administrative liability in the intellectual property sphere has been determined. The offence of an administrative violation in the intellectual property sphere is considered. Its objective (object and objective aspect) and subjective (subject and mental element) aspects are singled out. Characteristics of an administrative offence features in the intellectual property sphere are given, such as public harm, wrongfulness, guilt and punishability. The subject matter of an administrative offence in the intellectual property sphere has been determined.

The author suggests ways to improve the administrative and legal liability for offenses in the sphere of intellectual property. Measures are proposed to strengthen coherency and coordination of the activities of entities engaged in administrative and legal protection of intellectual property in Ukraine. It is proposed to focus on preventive work with a view to preventing administrative legislation offence in the intellectual property sphere.
Legal Problems and Risks of Genetic Revolution: Genetic Information and Discrimination
Authors: Bogdanova E. E.
Published: July 2019

In the article the author highlights that new technologies can significantly change both the life of each person and the development of human civilization as a whole. In this regard, it is necessary to draw attention to the fact of increasing importance of genetic information contained in human DNA in various areas of life of a human being and, due to this fact, the need for legal science to effectively protect the rights of an individual in order to prevent harm caused by the misuse of his genetic information.

On the basis of the analysis of the problems arising in connection with the use of genetic information about a person, the author concludes that the legislation in this area needs to be improved also with a view to preventing discrimination against individuals on the basis of genome. By its legal nature, genetic information is an element of personal, family privacy of an individual and is included in the broader concept of privacy of the individual. Therefore it must be protected by law as an intangible benefit (Art. 150 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). However, the existing legal regulation is not able to take into account the specifics of genetic information and to provide effective protection against misappropriation and misuse of this information including protection against actions aimed at establishing restrictions on the basis of hereditary diseases and other characteristics in employment, conclusion of contracts of insurance, credit agreements, etc.

Published: July 2019

Modern science has achieved very significant results in different areas. For ordinary people, it is gratifying that such achievements help to treat complex diseases, and the technologies themselves now reduce the cost of treatment unlike the most other factors affecting the medicine. One of these areas of scientific knowledge is genetic engineering that can change only separate parts of the human body or influence the transformation of the human body in general. This raises ethical issues that provoke a large number of disputes in the society. To overcome them, there is a need for a clear conceptual understanding of the problems associated with the diagnosis and editing of the human genome, on the basis of which an effective normative legal framework that will satisfy the interests of all participants of these legal relations should be developed.
Proposals for Extending the Russian Biobanks Functions to Protect Genomic Information

Published: July 2019

Genomic research are currently of key importance in the development of medicine. In order to carry out such activities, it is necessary not only to generate new genetic objects, but also to accumulate samples in the form of various biomaterials. Such collections in recent years are the pride of large biobanks, which spend the maximum amount of effort to save samples for subsequent research or application in practice. However, the functioning of biobanks has another side of the coin: the accumulation of certain information entails an increased level of responsibility for the collected data. In modern Russian conditions, the issues of information leakage from such institutions taking place in foreign countries are still irrelevant. In many ways, the reason for this is only the beginning of the normative legal regulation of the relevant social relations, which are only beginning to appear on the territory of our state. Therefore, there is every reason to believe that such problems will arise and it is important to solve them. Some proposals for such activities are set out in this paper.

Este estudo integra uma investigação mais ampla, cujo propósito foi analisar o impacto da Perturbação de Hiperatividade/Défice de Atenção (PHDA) em contexto escolar, a nível académico, comportamental e social. A Vanderbilt Adhd Diagnostic Teacher Rating Scale (VADTRS) – Escala Vanderbilt de Diagnóstico de PHDA para Professores (EVDPP) - foi traduzida e adaptada para Português Europeu. 76 professores do 1.º ciclo da ilha de São Miguel (Açores) preencheram a EVDPP para 105  alunos diagnosticados com PHDA ou em avaliação, com idades compreendidas entre os 6 e os 11 anos, 85.7% são do género masculino e 14.3% do  feminino. Os resultados demonstram a validade interna da escala, com alfas de Chronbach a situarem-se entre os .80 e .94 nas diferentes dimensões, corroborando outros estudos internacionais. Estes dados preliminares sugerem que a EVDPP pode ser um instrumento extremamente útil para as equipas multidisciplinares na sinalização, diagnóstico e caraterização dos principais problemas da PHDA em contexto escolar.
Sesgos en la evaluación del llanto infantil en la negligencia materna: el papel de la alexitimia
Authors: Herrero-Roldán Silvia , Byrne Sonia , Rodrigo María José , Hernández-Cabrera Juan Andrés , León Inmaculada
Published: July 2019

Este estudio analiza en qué medida está alterada la evaluación subjetiva del llanto infantil en las madres con negligencia severa, y la posible influencia de la alexitimia en dicha alteración. Participaron 24 madres negligentes y 22 madres controles que evaluaron caras de niños/as y caras adultas (de llanto y neutras) según su valencia y la respuesta de aproximación que éstas elicitan. Los resultados indican que ambos grupos evalúan las caras infantiles como más agradables y con mayor respuesta de aproximación que las caras adultas. Se obtuvieron dos tipos de sesgos: 1) una valoración menos agradable de las caras neutras, similar a la del llanto, en los niveles altos de aleximitia característicos de las madres negligentes; y 2) una mayor respuesta de aproximación ante el llanto en las madres negligentes que no se explica por sus altos niveles de alexitimia, ya que éstos generan menos respuesta de aproximación. La resolución de estas disonancias debe ser un objetivo terapéutico de primer orden para avanzar en la promoción de sus capacidades y favorecer la preservación o la reunificación familiar.
Where Theory Does not Meet the Practice: Teaching Math to Young Children in Turkey
Authors: ALAT Zeynep
Published: July 2019

The aim of this
qualitative study was to explore how teachers of young children provide math
education in their classrooms in Turkey. More specifically, attention was paid
to reveal the levels of math skills and concepts that were addressed in, and
pedagogical approaches that were characterized the math practices in two pre-k
programs. Data was obtained through observations and interviews. Content analysis
of the data revealed that there was a disregard for individual differences,
and children's informal math experiences, knowledge and skills. Children had
to spend hours in teacher directed activities that mostly comprised of
worksheets without much use of manipulatives or technology. Connections
between children's real lives and teaching activities were rarely made. There
is an urgent need for ongoing and extensive teacher development programs in
which teachers could see value in recommended teaching practices; find plenty
of opportunities to observe, experiment, and implement good practices; receive
and provide feedback in a network of professionals. Partnership between
universities and schools should become more effective and not be limited to
curriculum development or one-shot training sessions.

Published: July 2019

The aim of this study was to evaluate economic burden of respiratory diseases and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Russian Federation (RF) in 2016 including direct costs and economic losses caused by decreased labor efficiency. Methods. The analysis included direct cost, such as healthcare expenses and disablement payout, and economic losses due to decreased labor efficiency by the reason of morbidity and premature mortality. Data of Federal State Statistics Service, annual State Statistical Reports, the State Guarantee Program of Free Medical Care for Citizens of Russian Federation, and statistical data on respiratory diseases and COPD were used. Costs of medical care (ambulatory, hospital, and emergency care) were calculated based on compulsory health insurance tariffs. The amount of disability benefits payments was calculated based on number of disabled persons in each group and the size of the disability benefit. Indirect costs (or economic losses) included losses from non-produced products due to premature mortality and disability of working-aged adults. Results. In 2016, there were 623,000 years of potential life lost (YPLL) due to respiratory diseases, mainly in males. Of this, 35% of deaths and 22% of YPLL were related to COPD. Healthcare costs for COPD treatment included hospital care costs (83.9%), ambulatory care costs (11.1%) and emergency care costs (5%). In 2016, the economic burden of COPD in Russian Federation reached 170.3 billion ₽, or 18.8% of all losses and expenditures from respiratory diseases. This is 0.2% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in the same year. Conclusion. The economic burden of COPD in Russia in 2016 was 170.3 billion ₽, or 0.2% of GDP. The burden of COPD predominantly consisted of economic losses caused by premature mortality of working-aged subjects. These data suggest that priority should be given to measures aimed at preventing the occurrence and slowing down the progression of this disease, probably by increase the investment in the prevention and treatment of COPD. Such measures could reduce clinical and economic consequences of COPD.

Authors: Ramya Kuraganty , Devi Bakuru Gayatri , Gopal K. V. T. , Narayana Rao T.
Published: July 2019

Background: Comedonal acne commonly seen in adolescents and young patients which is refractory to standard treatments. This study is being undertaken to determine the efficacy and adverse effects of oral isotretinoin, electrodessication and comedone extraction in patients of comedonalacne.

Methods: A total of 120 patients of comedonal acne were enrolled and randomly divided into 4 groups of 30 patients each. Group A, B, C and D patients were treated with isotretinoin (20 mg daily), electrodessication, comedone extraction (4 weeks interval) and topical antibiotic daily for 12 weeks. The response in each group was assessed based on decrease in total comedonal count after 12 weeks of treatment. Statistical analysis was done using chi square test.

Results: Eighty seven (72%) cases had predominantly closed comedones and 33 (27%) cases showed open comedones. After 12 weeks of treatment, more than 75% decrease in comedonal count was seen in 60% of patients in electrodessication group followed by 30% (isotretinoin), 13.3% (comedone extraction). The decrease in total number of comedone was significantly higher with electrodessication (84.4%) followed by isotretinoin (73%), comedone extraction (43.2%) and topical antibiotic (5.7%). After follow up of 3 months, recurrence of comedones was least with isotretinoin followed by comedone extraction and electrodessication.

Conclusions: For comedonal acne, initial electrodessication followed by isotretinoin over 12 weeks gives the best outcome of quick remission and least recurrence. Electrodessication and comedone extraction are the preferred modalities in patients with predominantly closed and open comedones respectively.

Authors: Muhtadi Ahmad
Published: July 2019

This research is aimed to describe various forms of students’ character nurturing through scouting activities at MAN 2 Karanganyar. This research also studied a number of constraints emerging within the nurturance of the students’ character and efforts made to overcome the constraints. It was a descriptive research study employing a qualitative approach. The subjects were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The data were collected through participatory observation, interviews, and documentation. The data were then analyzed using an inductive analysis technique. The results showed that character building through scouting activities at MAN 2 Karanganyar by maximizing the roles of the scout nurturers as partners or supervisors, gave supports and facilitated students with modern, interesting, and challenging activities. Among the methods used were: the implementation of scouting codes of respects in every activity; learning activities through doing, working in groups, cooperating, and competing; activities in the open air such as camping; rewards in the forms of capacity symbols such as bantara and laksana; and separate units of ambalan for males and females. The constraints emerging were, among others, a lack of teachers’ attention to the scouting issues and the great number of students who did not like to join scouting activities. The solution was through inviting all the teachers to willingly contribute to the scouting activities and creating interesting and challenging activities for the students
Turismo cultural: perspectivas para a função turística em bibliotecas do Brasil
Authors: De Abreu Schamberlain Nayana , Teixeira Juliana Carolina
Published: July 2019

O objetivo geral da pesquisa foi investigar que funções são desenvolvidas nas bibliotecas brasileiras e a sua relação com o turismo. Diante disso, como metodologia, optou-se por trabalhar com as principais bibliotecas das sete capitais brasileiras que, juntas, somam 70% do fluxo turístico brasileiro. Para o levantamento de dados em campo foram encaminhados questionários para os representantes das bibliotecas estudadas. Como resultado de pesquisa, fica claro que todas as bibliotecas desenvolvem novas funções e a visita guiada é a principal atividade que estabelece ligação do turista com o espaço. Foi constatado também que as pessoas que passam por essas bibliotecas, elas, em sua maioria, não estão sendo instigadas a conhecer e a valorizar esse patrimônio cultural e todo o seu entorno. O principal motivo dessa relação negativa tem ligação direta com a falta de políticas públicas locais ligadas ao turismo e/ou com a cultura, que acarreta uma insatisfação demonstrada por parte dos representantes de bibliotecas. Por isso, é defendido, aqui, que as bibliotecas inseridas em cidades com um fluxo de turismo relevante devem considerar a função turística como parte do convívio desse espaço.

Authors: Chiaramonte de Castro Bruno José , Bernardo Andre
Published: July 2019

In sugarcane industries, process monitoring has the main purpose of maximizing sugar and ethanol production, meeting the quality parameters demanded by customers. The aim of this work was to identify industrial process variables that presented the greatest impacts on the quantity and quality of the produced sugar, by applying principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares regression (PLS) to the process data of a sugar and ethanol industry. The PCA correlation matrix highlighted the correlation between the presence of alcoholic flocs in sugar and the concentrations of starch and dextran in it. Both PCA and PLS showed that the color of the sugar was highly correlated to its moisture content. The first three principal components accounted for 40.92% of the total data variability.

Russian and Belarusian Students: World Views, System of Values, Self-Actualization Strategies. Part II
Authors: Andreev Andrey L. , Lashuk Irina V.
Published: July 2019

The article is based on the results of the study “Young people in the post-Soviet space: pictures of the world, values, strategies of self-realization”, the empirical basis of which were sociological polls conducted in a comparable manner, conducted in October 2017 – February 2018 among the students from leading universities in Russia and the Republic of Belarus. The analysis of the data was carried out from the point of view of the problem of the internal consolidation of the “Russian world” and the prospects for a change of generations in the elites of the post-Soviet states (in this context, the student contingent of leading Russian and Belarusian universities is viewed as a kind of protoelite group). A comparison was made of the world pictures of Russian and Belarusian students, their social perceptions and value orientations, peculiarities of Russian and Belarusian identity, personal self-actualization strategies, including the choice of place of residence and the level of emigration attitudes. Both similarities and differences in the mentality of young Belarusians and Russians are revealed. In particular, the differences in the perception of the arrow of time, as well as in the emotional relation to the concept of “state”, revealed during the study are of great importance. Based on the results of the analysis, the article shows that the ideas about the life of Russian and Belarusian students are largely similar, but the relations between Russia and Belarus in the picture of the world of Russian and Belarusian youth are asymmetric. The article discusses the possible consequences of the difference between the pictures of the world and the value attitudes of student youth in Russia and Belarus for the fate of the “Russian world”.

One of the main technological and economic challenges for an engineer is designing high-quality products in manufacturing processes. Most of these processes involve a large number of variables included the setting of controllable (design) and uncontrollable (noise) variables. Robust Design (RD) method uses a collection of mathematical and statistical tools to study a large number of variables in the process with a minimum value of computational cost. Robust design method tries to make high-quality products according to customers’ viewpoints with an acceptable profit margin. This paper aims to provide a brief up-to-date review of the latest development of RD method particularly applied in manufacturing systems. The basic concepts of the quality loss function, orthogonal array, and crossed array design are explained. According to robust design approach, two classifications are presented, first for different types of factors, and second for different types of data. This classification plays an important role in determining the number of necessity replications for experiments and choose the best method for analyzing data. In addition, the combination of RD method with some other optimization methods applied in designing and optimizing of processes are discussed.
My Mind is Working Overtime – Towards an Integrative Perspective of Psychological Detachment, Work-Related Rumination and Work Reflection
Authors: Weigelt Oliver , Gierer Petra , Syrek Christine J.
Published: July 2019

In the literature on occupational stress and recovery from work several facets of thinking about work in off-job time have been conceptualized. However, research on the focal concepts is currently rather disintegrated. In this study we take a closer look at the five most established concepts, namely (1) psychological detachment, (2) affective rumination, (3) problem-solving pondering, (4) positive work reflection, and (5) negative work reflection. More specifically, we scrutinized (1) whether the five facets of work-related rumination are empirically distinct, (2) whether they yield differential associations with different facets of employee well-being (burnout, work engagement, thriving, satisfaction with life, and flourishing), and (3) to what extent the five facets can be distinguished from and relate to conceptually similar constructs, such as irritation, worry, and neuroticism. We applied structural equation modeling techniques to cross-sectional survey data from 474 employees. Our results provide evidence that (1) the five facets of work-related rumination are highly related, yet empirically distinct, (2) that each facet contributes uniquely to explain variance in certain aspects of employee well-being, and (3) that they are distinct from related concepts, albeit there is a high overlap between (lower levels of) psychological detachment and cognitive irritation. Our study contributes to clarify the structure of work-related rumination and extends the nomological network around different types of thinking about work in off-job time and employee well-being.

Silicon Meet Graphene for a New Family of Near-Infrared Schottky Photodetectors
Authors: Casalino Maurizio
Published: July 2019

In recent years graphene has attracted much interest due to its unique properties of flexibility, strong light-matter interaction, high carrier mobility and broadband absorption. In addition, graphene can be deposited on many substrates including silicon with which is able to form Schottky junctions opening the path to the realization of near-infrared silicon photodetectors based on the internal photoemission effect where graphene play the role of the metal. In this work, we review the very recent progress of the near-infrared photodetectors based on Schottky junctions involving graphene. This new family of device promises to overcome the limitations of the Schottky photodetectors based on metals showing the potentialities to compare favorably with germanium photodetectors currently employed in silicon photonics.

Published: July 2019

Road surface monitoring more specifically crack detection on the surface of the road pavement is a complicated task which is found vital due to critical nature of roads as elements of transportation infrastructure. Cracks on the road pavement is detectable using remotely sensed imagery or car mounted platforms. UAV’s are also considered as useful tools for acquiring reliable information about the pavement of the road. In This paper, an automatic method for crack detection on the road pavement is proposed using acquired videos from UAV platform. Selecting key frames and generating Ortho-image, violating non road regions in the scene are removed. Then through an edge based approach hypothesis crack elements are extracted. Afterwards, through SVM based classification true cracks are detected. Developing the proposed method, the generated results show 75% accuracy in crack detection while less than 10% of cracks are omitted.

The development of major economic sectors can provide the bedrock on which long-lasting national economic prosperity is formed. Iceland’s tourism sector is an example of a rapidly expanded industry in recent years, to the extent that it has become the largest sectoral contributor to the nation’s economy. The growth of the sector has led to a number of sustainability impacts, thus presenting opportunities and challenges in terms of meeting the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Using the case study of Iceland, this paper aims to advance conceptual understanding of the synergies and trade-offs between a nation’s tourism sector and performance across the 169 targets of the SDGs. Empirical results were derived from four theme-based focus groups, comprised of expert participants, who were tasked with completing scoresheets concerning their perception of the extent of synergies and trade-offs for each target. The majority (126 in number) of the mean scoresheet outcomes for the SDG targets revealed neither synergies nor trade-offs. However, 32 synergies and 11 trade-offs were identified. Many of the target synergies related to new economic opportunities, such as jobs, employment and training for young people. Target trade-offs tended to be environmental and social. In particular, concern was voiced about the greenhouse gas emissions of the Icelandic tourism sector, which derives from international aviation, cruise ships and rental car usage. The outcomes of this study are of particular relevance to tourism companies, policy-makers and governance institutes, all of whom are increasingly endeavouring to link their activities with the fulfilment of the SDGs, maximising synergies, mitigating the extent of any potential trade-offs, and potentially transforming trade-offs into synergies. Furthermore, the results are likely of interest to academics focused on researching the broad sustainability impacts of economic sectors and their contribution to meeting the visionary goals of the SDGs.

Published: July 2019

This research work was focused on the incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles into synthesized solvent-free waterborne poly(urethane-urea) based on hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) (PU0) in order to improve both mechanical properties and self-healing effectiveness of polymer matrix. The incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles resulted in a successful enhancement of mechanical properties of nanocomposite films if compare to PU0. Simultaneously, obtained nanocomposite films did not only maintain the self-healing ability of PU0 film, measured by means of mechanical properties after successive cutting/recovery cycles, but also showed higher self-healing efficiency than the PU0 film. Moreover, well-dispersed TiO2 nanoparticles, visualized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), kept their electrical conductive properties when embedded in the PU0 matrix, as was confirmed by electrostatic force microscopy (EFM). This research work described a simple and industrially appealing way to control the dispersion of commercially available TiO2 nanoparticles in waterborne poly(urethane-urea) for the designing of inorganic/organic hybrid nanocomposites with enhanced mechanical properties and self-healing efficiency in which TiO2 nanoparticles preserved their conductive properties within the polymer matrix.
Security and Health as Individual Values in Western Romanian Youth
Authors: Rad Dana , Balas Valentina Emilia
Published: July 2019

The study of values at European and global level has gained momentum along with the theory of values launched by Schwartz. Values are dormant, hidden, unobservable and impossible to measure directly. They exist somewhere within the human being, manifested by different attitudes, depending on their degree of generality. The paradigm of basic human values implies shared universal values that are encountered in cultures all over the world. The theory of values designed by Schwartz has refined the pool of 19 basic individual values representing principles in individuals and group, further describing the dynamic relationships among them. This study presents practical evidence of the dynamics between individual values, the dynamics theorized by Schwartz in 2012. Following the development of an online questionnaire made up of 46 items with online responses options on a Lickert scale from 1 to 6, where 1 represents less important and 6 represent very important, 220 young people from Western Romania voluntarily responded. By testing the hypothesis assuming the dynamic relationship between the two values through multiple regression analysis, the results demonstrate that in Model 1, which involves a linear relationship, health explains 42% of the variance in security with a F =161,215 significant at p <.01. In Model 2, which involves a curvilinear relationship, health explains 50% of the variance in security version with a F = 35,336 significant at p <.01. The incremental prediction optimization of 8% added by including the squared security accounts for the curve in the regression line, indicating the existence of a curvilinear relationship between security and health. The dynamic relationship demonstrates that upper limit and lower limit aspects of security, significantly influence the health value in a negative way. Normal levels of security trigger a high level of prioritization of health value. The implications of this type of relationship are discussed in explaining the value phenomenon at individual level. The study shows limits due to the selected sample, focusing exclusively on young people with higher education from the Western region of Romania. This sample was the target group of "The National Identity of Romanian Youth" project which designed this research.

Mothers experience a recurrence of morbid events and infant death which is an indicator of nutritional risk in the child brought for care. The aim of this study is to determine the association between histories of hospital stay, maternal infant death and the nutritional status of patients from 6 to 59 months old admitted to pediatric emergency services. It’s a descriptive, transversal surveyed from 16 January to 2 May 2016 in two reference hospitals in Niamey. Patients were classified according to weight / height ratio and histories of hospital stay and infant death were collected at the mothers’ interview. The study involved 287 mother and child dyads. The average age of the children was 18.6 ± 3 months and the boys accounted for 57.14%. Medical history showed 32.75% of hospitalization for mothers, 21.25% for one child death and 15% for two child’s deaths. The association was significant statically between child’s nutritional status and hospital stay of the mother (p = 0.012) and with the history of child death in the mother (p = 0.029). A history of childhood hospitalizations and infant death is an important indicator of nutritional risk in children admitted to pediatric emergencies.
