Authors: Xin Yu , Li Shunming , Cheng Chun , Wang Jinrui
Published: October 2018

As the crucial part of the health management and condition monitoring of mechanical equipment, the fault diagnosis and pattern recognition using vibration signal are essential researching contents. The time-frequency representation method cannot identify the fault patterns from time-frequency representation effectively because of the complex work conditions of rotating machinery parts and the interference of strong background noise. Considering these disadvantages, a new reliable and effective method based on the time-frequency representation and deep convolutional neural networks is presented. In this method, the time-frequency features are calculated by the short time Fourier transform (STFT), and the pseudo-color map as the new identification objects. A novel feature learning method based on the sparse autoencode with linear decode is used to extract these time-frequency features, which is an unsupervised feature learning method with the goal of minimizing the loss function. The convoluting and pooling are applied to establish the hierarchical deep convolutional neural networks and filter the useful features layer by layer from the output of sparse autoencode. And a softmax classifier is used to obtain the faults classification. The experimental datasets from roller bearing and gearbox have been taken to verify the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed method for fault diagnosis and pattern recognition. The results show that the proposed method have excellent performance of the recognized objects.

Published: October 2018

Dynamic visual cryptography (DVC) is a technique for the encryption and decryption of visual secret information. The confidential visual information in DVC is concealed embedding the secret image into the regular moiré grating. The secret can be perceived from the cover image if only the cover image is oscillated according to a predefined law of motion and time-averaging techniques are used. The security of the encryption procedure and the quality of the decrypted image depend on the proper preselection of the pitches of a moiré grating used in the encryption stage. This paper presents the main principles of the determination of near-optimal pair of the pitches of moiré grating as well as graphical schemes and analytical equations in case of harmonic and chaotic oscillations.

Is There A Role For Lifestyle Interventions In Obsessive-Compulsive And Related Disorders?
Authors: Fontenelle Leonardo F. , Zeni-Graiff Maiara , Quintas Julliana N. , Yücel Murat
Published: October 2018

Many of the currently available treatments for obsessive-compulsive and related disorders (OCRDs) such as pharmacotherapy augmentation strategies, partial hospitalization programs, deep brain stimulation, and neurosurgery are efficacious for individuals suffering from more severe forms of these conditions. Unfortunately, the application of these treatments in milder forms of illness and subclinical samples, which affect a substantial portion of the population, is not justifiable by their costs (e.g. cognitivebehavioral therapy) and/or potential for side effects (serotonin-reuptake inhibitors associated sexual side effects). As such, there is an urgent need to develop simple yet effective treatments, such as modifiable lifestyle interventions, that can be employed on a broader scale. Here, we review the current state of evidence that supports or refutes the efficacy of lifestyle approaches for OCRDs. We focus on dimensions of lifestyle that are deemed important for cardiovascular diseases; namely, physical activity, stress, sleep, diet and eating behaviors, alcohol consumption, and smoking. Despite the relative scarcity of welldesigned randomized controlled trials targeting unhealthy life styles in OCRDs, we found meditation-based therapies and interventions focusing on eliminating sedentarism to be promising approaches. In the future, these strategies may represent valid alternative for subjects with subthreshold symptoms or at risk for OCRDs or other “compulsive” disorders.

Published: October 2018

From an Islamic perspective, al-madaih an-nabawiyyah (praise of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH) is a part of Islamic literature that plays a central role in various aspects of life. This study aimed to investigate the literature, history, and functional diversity of al-madaih an-nabawiyyah in the 21st century. This study adopted Swingewood and Laurenson’s sociological approach. Data were obtained through references to literary history studies, observations and interviews. Observations focused on the functional diversity of al-madaih an-nabawiyah, while interviews were conducted with al-madaih an-nabawiyah figures and activists who were met at the activity center. In addition to these methods, data was also obtained from documents related to the existence and activities of congregations which have made reading al-madaih an-nabawiyah have a transformational function in the 21st century era. This paper shows that the emergence of al-madaih an-nabawiyyah literature was influenced by the rise of Muslim religious fanaticism, which encouraged love and longing for noble figures, and the encouragement of Muslims to eliminate life’s anxieties by asking for spiritual intercession from the Prophet Muhammad PBUH. Another factor that underlies the development of al-madaih an-nabawiyyah literature is the development of tasawuf tendencies and ascetic life (zuhd) among Muslims. This paper shows that the literary theme of al-madaih an-nabawiyyah includes the Prophet’s majesty and the Muslims’ religiosity by imitating by imitating the Prophet’s wisdom and glory. Apart from being a monumental literary work, al-Madaih an-Nabawiyyah has undergone a shift present generation’s needs, as a prayer and worship to improve the quality of life, piety, soothe the soul, as well as an expression of longing and love for the Prophet Muhammad PBUH. Reading al-madaih an-nabawiyyah has become a social, economic, cultural and political activity. Many Muslims used al-madaih an-nabawiyyah reading program as a medium to strengthen friendship or create an atmosphere of harmony in the people. This paper stressed the need for further studies on the development of al-madaih an-nabawiyyah literature as a complete literary work which is a masterpiece that accompanies Muslims’ lives.

CONTACT PROBLEM FOR A TWO-LAYERED CYLINDER
Authors: Pozharskii D. A. , Zolotov N. B. , Semenov I. Ye. , Pozharskaya E. D. , Chebakov M. I.
Published: October 2018

Introduction.  The investigation of the contact problems  for cylindrical bodies is urgent due to the engineering contact strength analysis on shafts, cores and pipe-lines. In the present paper, a new contact problem of elastostatics on the interaction between a rigid band and an infinite two-layered cylinder, which consists of an internal continuous cylinder and an outer hollow one, with a frictionless contact between the cylinders, is studied. The outer cylindrical band of finite length is press fitted. By using a Fourier integral transformation, the problem is reduced to an integral equation with respect to the unknown contact pressure.

Materials and Methods. Different combinations of linearly elastic materials of the composite cylinder are considered. Asymptotics of the symbol function of the integral equation kernel at zero and infinity is analyzed. This plays an important role for the application of the analytical solution methods. A key dimensionless geometric parameter is introduced, and a singular asymptotic technique is employed to solve the integral equation.

Research Results. On the basis of the symbol function properties, a special easily factorable approximation being applicable in a wide variation range of the problem parameters is suggested. The Monte-Carlo method is used to determine the approximation parameters. The asymptotic formulas are derived both for the contact pressure, and for its integral characteristic. Calculations are made for different materials and for various relative thickness of the cylindrical layer  including thin-walled layers.

Discussion and Conclusions. The asymptotic solutions are effective  for  relatively  wide  bands  when  the  contact  zone length is bigger than the diameter of the composite cylinder. It is significant that the method is applicable also for those cases when  the  outer  cylindrical  layer  is  treated  as  a  cylindrical shell. The asymptotic solutions can be recommended to engineers for the contact strength analysis of the elastic barrels with a flexible coating of another material.
RELIABILITY-BASED DESIGN OPTIMIZATION USING OPTIMUM SAFETY FACTORS FOR LARGE-SCALE PROBLEMS
Authors: Kharmanda Gh. , Antypas I. R.
Published: October 2018

Introduction. Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) model reduces the structural weight in uncritical regions, does not only provide an improved design but also a higher level of confidence in the design.

Materials and Methods. The classical RBDO approach can be carried out in two separate spaces: the physical space and the normalized space. Since very many repeated researches are needed in the above two spaces, the computational time for such an optimization is a big problem. An efficient method called Optimum Safety Factor (OSF) method is developed and successfully put to use in several engineering applications. Research Results. A numerical application on a large scale problem under  fatigue  loading  shows  the  efficiency of the developed RBDO method relative to the Deterministic Design Optimization (DDO). The efficiency of the OSF method is also extended to multiple failure modes to control several out-put parameters, such as structural volume and damage criterion.

Discussion and Conclusions. The simplified implementation framework of the OSF strategy consists of a single optimization problem to evaluate the design point, and a direct evaluation of the optimum solution considering OSF formulations. It provides designers with efficient solutions that should be economic, satisfying a required reliability level with a reduced computing time.

Authors: Kudryashev S. B. , Zakalyuzhny A. A.
Published: October 2018

Introduction. The electroacoustic application of wear-resistance coatings is studied. The work objective is to obtain a mathematical model of the ultrasonic effect on the formation and development of an electric spark occurring in the process of the electroacoustic sputtering.

Materials and Methods. The effect of ultrasonic vibrations on the processes occurring during the formation and development of a spark discharge is analyzed; the equations of continuity, energy motion and transfer, with the ultrasonic field contribution are considered. Factors affecting the thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of strongly ionized gas are studied. Research Results. When obtaining the model, it was assumed that the heat removal from the channel is carried out by a “clear emitter”. Then, for the channel region, a self-similar solution is made: pressure, temperature and density are constant over the cross-section, and velocity is proportional to the radius. A mathematical model that describes the processes occurring in the spark channel with the ultrasonic field energy effect is obtained.

Discussion and Conclusions. On the basis of the developed model, it is specified that under the ultrasonic radiation effect, the radius and temperature of the spark channel increase, and conditions of the double ionization under high ultrasonic energy are created.

Published: October 2018

The paper deals with the function of overcoming fear of the unknown in the life cycle rites of the Volga region peoples in the 20th – early 21st centuries. The case studies include the maternity, wedding, funeral and initiation rites of the inhabitants of the region. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that these rites are the necessary elements of the “vitality” of an individual and a whole ethnic group. The above-mentioned function had a powerful psychotherapeutic effect, prepared the rite performers for their new existence and supported the integrity of individual and collective (ethnic) consciousness. The research findings may be useful for devising cultural heritage programs in the Volga region, improving various specialized courses on cultural theory and history as well as for specialists in the field of ethnographic tourism and ritual services.

Published: October 2018

Based on the analysis of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Free-doms of 1950, the provisions of the Russian law, the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Constitutional Court of Russia, the study considers the problem of recognizing the absolute nature of human rights and their limitations. The research identifies the rights attributed by the Con-vention and the European Court of Human Rights to absolute, highlights the legal grounds for legitimate restrictions on other conventional rights. The au-thors note the similarity of the approaches of the Russian and European Courts to dealing with many issues related to restrictions on rights. Besides, they focus on the court’s trend towards recognizing the absolute nature of several rights which are not abso-lute. The research cites the example of the Court ruling on the case of Anchugov and Gladkov v. Rus-sia which is in breach of Part 3 of Article 32 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. It is noted that this trend may lead to a violation of the balance between public and private interests. In conclusion, several measures are proposed to overcome the contradictions between Russia and the ECHR con-cerning the interpretation of the Convention rights.

The regional aspects of the election of deputies to the 7th State Duma of the Russian Federation (based on the sociological survey in Buryatia)
Authors:   Buryat State University, Budaeva Darima Tsyrendorzhievna
Published: October 2018

The author reports that the difference between the declared and real voter turnout in Buryatia is bigger than the national average. This is due to the regional depression and the increased social apathy of a large part of citizens caused by a sharp decline in their low monetary income. The research focuses on the relationship between the party choice and the characteristics of the electorate (gender, age, na-tionality, education, employment, family and finan-cial status). Having analyzed the correlation between the party choice and the characteristics of the elec-torate by the Pearson coefficient, the author identi-fies that the choice of Fair Russia is not seriously affected by any factor while the choice of the Com-munist Party of the Russian Federation is strongly influenced by the age of a person. Mostly, elderly citizens voted for it. Gender and education had a less impact on the choice of the United Russia. Women having secondary vocational, incomplete higher and higher education were most likely to vote for this party. When electing the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, such factors as gender, age and nationality played a key role.
Work on the artistic image of the musical composition as a development basis for students’ interest in classical music
Authors:   Taneev Children’s School of Music, Smolskaya Yuliya Viktorovna
Published: October 2018

The paper deals with the problem of developing the interest in the classical music among children who attend music schools and schools of arts against a background of the social and cultural situation in a country. It is strange that former music school students do not like classical music and often lose their interest in it after graduation. Besides, a great number of students drop out of music schools. The author assumes that the reason for it is an inappropriate approach to teaching and proposes focusing on the meaning and the artistic image of the piece of music in every class. This method is popular with the professors of music in conservatories and music academies while music school teachers ignore it, especially when teaching students who are not to be the professional musicians. At the same time, this method helps students develop the keen interest in music classes and classical music as a whole because it generates the emotional response to the musical compositions performed by them.

The results of many scientific studies indicate the importance of emotional intelligence in different aspects of life (professional and educational life). Therefore, educational institutions paid attention to it and this interest is represented in the development of its programs to include the emotional and social aspects. The aim of the research is to identify the relationship between emotional intelligence skills and the trend toward life, and to indicate whether the trend towards life can be predicted through emotional intelligence skills, and which of these skills are more significant in influencing the direction of life. The measurement tools were (Emotional Intelligence Skills Scale - A measure of the direction towards life). The research sample consisted of (210) students from the College of Education at Sultan Qaboos University in the academic year 2016-2017. The results of the study indicated that there is a statistically significant relationship between emotional intelligence skills and life orientation. The value of (P) was 15.343. which is a statistical function at the level of (0.01), indicating the effectiveness of predicting the impact of emotional intelligence skills, which is the subject of research on the trend towards life. The results also show that the skill (understanding others’ emotions interacting with others) was the most influential factor in the direction of life.
Xbrl technologies for financial reporting in information systems

Published: October 2018

Without a common format, the financial community has been constantly penalized by the data exchange process. Currently, when financial data are dematerialized, they are exchanged in a multitude of formats: Excel files, free text, PDF, etc. Often not much more suitable for processing than photocopying and limited to certain platforms, these formats prove unsuitable for the exchange of information between programs, for analysis, comparison and presentation of reports to users. So far, despite a strong tendency to use XML syntax, attempts at convergence have struggled to generalize and apply to many sectors and contexts.In recent years, reporting requirements have led to a significant increase in the cost of using financial systems. The use of XBRL technology, using XML syntax, supported by many players in the world of finance, the software industry and adapted to reporting, can constitute the solution. Many governments, regulators, financial institutions are already using XBRL or have pilot projects in place.This document specifically targets XBRL. This technology, which is now recognized by the entire software industry, provides tremendous benefits for data exchange, storage, research and processing.
Approximation of General Form for a Sequence of Linear Positive Operators Based on Four Parameters
Authors: Abbod Khalid Dhaman , J. Mohammad Ali
Published: October 2018

In the present paper, we define a generalization sequence of linear positive operators based on four parameters which is reduce to many other sequences of summation–integral older type operators of any weight function (Bernstein, Baskakov, Szász or Beta). Firstly, we find a recurrence relation of the -th order moment and study the convergence theorem for this generalization sequence. Secondly, we give a Voronovaskaja-type asymptotic formula for simultaneous approximation. Finally, we introduce some numerical examples to view the effect of the four parameters of this sequence.
The Universal Coefticient Theorem in the Category of Fuzzy Soft Modules
Authors: Abdullayev Sebuhi , Bayramov S. A.
Published: October 2018

This paper begins with the basic concepts of chain comlexes of fuzzy soft modules. Later, we introduce short exact sequence of fuzzy soft modules and prove that split short exact sequence of fuzzy soft chain complex. Naturally, we want to investigate whether or not the universal coefficient theorems are satisfied in category of fuzzy soft chain complexes. However, in the proof of these theorems in the category of chain complexes, exact sequence of homology modules of chain complexes is used. Generally, sequence of fuzzy soft homology modules is not exact in fuzzy chain complexes. Therefore in this study, we construct exact sequence of fuzzy soft homology modules under some conditions. Universal coefficients theorem is proven by making use of this idea.

A pesquisa tem por objetivo verificar como se apresenta a produção científica internacional sobre cultura organizacional e orçamento. Procurou-se identificar as publicações em relação ao tema organizational cultura and budget devido a ascensão do tema em estudo, no decorrer dos últimos anos. A metodologia da pesquisa está delineada quanto aos objetivos como descritiva, em relação aos procedimentos como documental, quanto à abordagem quantitativa e utilizou-se a análise bibliométrica e sociométrica. O universo do estudo constitui-se das publicações contidas no banco de dados da SCOPUS, com a utilização das palavras-chave “organizational culture” e “budget”, disponíveis de acesso via Web, compondo um total de 70 artigos. Os resultados apresentaram uma evolução em número de artigos publicados ao longo dos anos, especialmente a partir do ano de 1995 que o tema cultura organizacional e orçamento passou a ter maior produtividade no meio acadêmico. Observa-se que os pesquisadores do tema sobre cultura organizacional e orçamento, compreendem uma considerável rede cooperação envolvendo vários autores com significativos laços entre si, e também outros pequenas e médias cooperações. No que se refere aos temas relacionados às pesquisas feitas sobre cultura organizacional, observou-se três temas com maior destaque. Como conclusão do estudo identifica-se que a pesquisa sobre cultura organizacional e orçamento com base na literatura internacional está em ascensão nos últimos anos. Sugere-se para futuras pesquisas que seja feito um estudo mais detalhado sobre a temática envolvendo a literatura nacional e internacional.
Estudo sobre causas e consequências do processo admissional de professores admitidos em caráter temporário
Authors: Dias Almerinda Tereza Bianca Bez Batti , Rosa Eduarda da
Published: October 2018

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as principais causas e as consequências do processo de admissão de professores Admitido em Caráter Temporário (ACTs) para atuarem no Ensino Fundamental pela Secretaria de Educação, Esporte e Cultura. A revisão da literatura abordou sobre as a administração pública, gestão de pessoas, modalidades de contratação na esfera pública e acerca dos profissionais que atuam na educação básica. Foi realizada pesquisa qualitativa descritiva e de campo por meio de um estudo de caso na Secretaria da Educação de um município do extremo sul catarinense. A coleta dos dados se deu por meio de instrumento com perguntas abertas aplicados em duas amostras: a primeira composta por dois gestores, e a segunda com professores efetivos do ensino fundamental das escolas do referido município. Além disso, foram coletados dados secundários – análise documental – acerca da contratação e afastamentos dos profissionais da educação. Os dados foram analisados qualitativamente. Os principais resultados foram que, até 2015, havia mais professores ACTs em sala de aula. Em 2016, há mais efetivos. A maior parte dos afastamentos se dá para que o professor assuma outros cargos na esfera da educação e também por licença sem vencimento. Na visão dos gestores não há influência negativa no processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos estudantes. Na percepção dos professores, há sim, mas depende muito do compromisso do professor ACT.

Este estudo tem como discussão central o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas entre as jovens universitárias, analisado à luz do marketing social. O objetivo do estudo foi investigar como jovens universitárias analisam o consumo de bebidas alcoólicas a partir de questões relativas à impulsividade, à rejeição social e aos danos causados por esse consumo, além de avaliar as ferramentas do marketing com base no modelo teórico. Para isso foi desenvolvida uma revisão de literatura elencando os principais fatores que levariam as jovens a consumirem bebidas. Para operacionalização da pesquisa escolheu-se o método qualitativo, para averiguar as práticas de consumo de bebidas alcoólicas pelas jovens, e como estratégia de coleta de dados procedeu-se o grupo focal, para identificar as principais ideias das jovens a respeito do tema. De maneira geral, os resultados obtidos indicaram que os grupos sociais influenciavam o consumo pelas entrevistadas. O consumo está relacionado a fatores emocionais, às mudanças ambientais e ao fato da sensação de prazer que o sabor das bebidas proporciona às jovens. Ao final do estudo são apresentadas as implicações teóricas e práticas, assim como as limitações e as sugestões para novas pesquisas na temática em questão.
