Emotional intelligence and conflictological competence in the conditions of digitalization
Authors: Yurovitsky S. Y.
Published: August 2021

In modern society, under the influence of the widespread active introduction of innovative technologies (robotization, digitalization, etc.), ordinary employees of organizations are changing. In addition, life imposes new requirements on the heads of organizations. Managers not only solve the usual tasks, but also face the problem of the need to change the usual leadership style: psychological methods are replacing directive management methods. The emotional intelligence of the manager is especially appreciated, which means the ability to observe and be aware of their own experiences and emotions of other people, manage their own feelings and emotions of another, and build interaction on this basis. Another important quality of a manager that is in demand today is conflictological competence. Robotization and digitalization prevent some traditionally arising conflicts, but new conflicts related to the virtual nature of work also arise in organizations: the rigidity and unambiguity of verbal means of communication, provoking conflict; the conflict caused by the reduction of jobs in the organization; the digital divide, which consists in differences in digital literacy and digital competence of the younger and older generations of employees.

Authors: Zhmurko D. Yu.
Published: August 2021

Sets of high probability cycles are determined, and also a common cyclic genome for the sugar industry is identified, which together affect the indicators of sugar, sugar beet, and sugarcane production. The regularities of the cyclical dynamics of large regional structures in the sugar industry are studied. For the first time in practice, the method of detecting the cyclic genome has been implemented not only by spectral analysis, but also by forward analysis (periodograms are built based on forward analysis). It is practically confirmed that the forward analysis when constructing periodograms shows results significantly better in than the classical spectral analysis. New patterns in the displacement (mutation) of the cyclic genome of the world sugar production are revealed. Sociogenetic patterns (cycles of different nature) are determined, for example, the cycle of a group of developed countries was 8.23 years, the cycle of developing countries – 8.39, the cycle of “Third world” countries – 7.6. A cyclical drift in world sugar production is revealed: after the end of World War II it shifted from the usual 9.49 years for the XIX century – the middle of the XX century to the current value of 7.12 years.

Published: August 2021

Stroke often causes disability, so patients need rehabilitation for recovery. Therefore, it is necessary to measure its effectiveness. An Electroencephalogram (EEG) can capture the improvement of activity in the brain in stroke rehabilitation. Therefore, the focus is on the identification of several post-rehabilitation conditions. This paper proposed identifying post-stroke EEG signals using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) to process sequential data. Memory control in the use of RNN adopted Long Short-Term Memory. Identification was provided out on two classes based on patient condition, particularly "No Stroke" and "Stroke". EEG signals are filtered using Wavelet to get the waves that characterize a stroke. The four waves and the average amplitude are features of the identification model. The experiment also varied the weight correction, i.e., Adaptive Moment Optimization (Adam) and Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD). This research showed the highest accuracy using Wavelet without amplitude features of 94.80% for new data with Adam optimization model. Meanwhile, the feature configuration tested effect shows that the use of the amplitude feature slightly reduces the accuracy to 91.38%. The results also show that the effect of the optimization model, namely Adam has a higher accuracy of 94.8% compared to SGD, only 74.14%. The number of hidden layers showed that three hidden layers could slightly increase the accuracy from 93.10% to 94.8%. Therefore, wavelets as extraction are more significant than other configurations, which slightly differ in performance. Adam's model achieved convergence in earlier times, but the speed of each iteration is slower than the SGD model. Experiments also showed that the optimization model, number of epochs, configuration, and duration of the EEG signal provide the best accuracy settings.
Fish species recognition using transfer learning techniques

Published: August 2021

Marine species recognition is the process of identifying various species that help in population estimation and identifying the endangered types for taking further remedies and actions. The superior performance of deep learning for classification is due to the property of estimating millions of parameters that have to be extracted from many annotated datasets. However, many types of fish species are becoming extinct, which may reduce the number of samples. The unavailability of a large dataset is a significant hurdle for applying a deep neural network that can be overcome using transfer learning techniques. To overcome this problem, we propose a transfer learning technique using a pre-trained model that uses underwater fish images as input and applies a transfer learning technique to detect the fish species using a pre-trained Google Inception-v3 model. We have evaluated our proposed method on the Fish4knowledge(F4K) dataset and obtained an accuracy of 95.37%. The research would be helpful to identify fish existence and quantity for marine biologists to understand the underwater environment to encourage its preservation and study the behavior and interactions of marine animals.

Fresh produce can be contaminated at any stage along the food supply chain. In this study,
apple was chosen to determine the time course of biofilm formation by Listeria
monocytogenes (ATCC 19115), as well as to compare the efficacy of different household
washing methods such as scrubbing with hands under running tap water, soaking with and
without commercial vegetable wash with different treatment times in removing the biofilm
formation by L. monocytogenes on apple surface. The biofilm formation was quantified
using crystal violet assay and the result showed that L. monocytogenes took 18 hrs to
form matured biofilm on apple surface. Besides, scrubbing apples with hands under
running tap water for 30 s and 60 s were the most effective method which significantly
removed (P<0.05) biofilm formed on the apple surface with approximately 5.93 log
reduction. Soaking apples with vegetable wash for 5 mins and 10 mins were also found to
be significantly effective (P<0.05) in reducing L. monocytogenes biofilm. Since L.
monocytogenes can form matured biofilm on fresh produce, therefore efficient washing
step is important before consuming fresh produce to lower the risk of foodborne illness.

Published: August 2021

Essential oils have a long history in their variety of applications. Although essential oils of
various herbs and spices from other parts of the world have shown antimicrobial effects,
those from Malaysian herbs remain underreported. Thus, can be further utilized in the
search for novel bioactive compounds as natural antimicrobials to fulfil the consumers'
demand for safer, healthier, and higher‐quality foods with longer shelf life. In the present
work, the essential oils from ten herbs and spices namely betel, cinnamon, clove,
coriander, galangal, ginger, lemongrass, lime, nutmeg, and turmeric, selected based on
their abundance and economic importance, were analysed by gas chromatography and
mass spectrometry. A total of 120 bioactive compounds were detected. The major (>10%)
bioactive compounds were anethole, 26.25% (betel), cinnamaldehyde, 63.39%
(cinnamon), eugenol, 87.16% (clove), linalool, 54.79% (coriander), propenoic acid,
29.56% (galangal), α-zingiberene, 26.32% (ginger), geranial, 42.61% (lemongrass),
limonene, 39.84% (lime), β-phellandrene, 27.80% (nutmeg), and ar-turmerone, 41.81%
(turmeric). All essential oils also yielded minor (<10%) bioactive compounds of different
classes. Some of these major and minor bioactive compounds have been reported to exert
fungicidal/fungistatic effects and could be an excellent candidate in the development of
efficient fungal spoilage control strategies such as an active food packaging system.
How Cultural Models of Mind Affect Actor Director Task Performance
Authors:   , Agnew Andrew
Published: August 2021

The actor director task (DT) has been used extensively to assess differences in perspective taking ability. Previous studies have found that individuals from collectivist cultures outperform those from individualist cultures in the DT. The current study uses an online form of the DT to assess individuals from European, New Zealand Pasifika and Māori cultural groups. Pasifika and Māori cultures tend to be categorised as collectivist, but have theory of mind norms that differ from previously assessed collectivist cultures. It is hypothesised that these norms will advantage Pasifika in the DT but not Māori. No significant differences are found in performance on the DT across all three cultural groups. All three groups replicated general performance on the DT in previous studies.
