The useful nutritional value of plum is related to the most quantity of vitamins like
Vitamin A - beta carotene, Thiamin (B1), Riboflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), Pantothenic acid
(B5), Vitamin B6, Folate (B9), Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K; and minerals: Ca, Fe,
Mg, Mn, Ph, K, Na and other. Plum is available in the receipts of various confectioneries:
sweets, caramels, creams, jellies, cookies and others. The objective of the presented study
was to develop a new of natural origin with antioxidants capacity - plum filling for the
confectionery. Sensory assessment of the researched samples was provided by “JustAbout-Right-Test” questionnaire for the following main characteristics: taste, colour,
odour, texture or consistence and acceptance of the product. Organoleptic and
physicochemical characteristics were analyzed in accordance with the GOST 32741-2014
(Interstate standard) requirements. The content of mineral substances was determined by the
method of Mass-spectrometry with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS) and using a
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). As a result of the «Just-About-Right-Test» most of
the respondents selected a plum filling sample with gelatin and lemon. This statement was
confirmed by organoleptic and physicochemical characteristics. The mass-spectrometry
database verified availability of essential macro- and microelements: sodium, magnesium,
phosphorus, sulphur, potassium, calcium, iron and other. The proposed plum filling has
wide range applications, as inside and outside for the covering of confectionery, thereby
organoleptic properties and nutritional value of final product could be enriched.

Authors: H.S. Mohamed Raimi , T.N.H. Tuan Ismail , M.Z. Mohamed Najib , F. Mohamed Yusop
Published: December 2020

Food waste is a significant concern in waste management in recent years due to the
inevitable outcome of human consumption in modern society. It has happened in almost
every home daily. In Malaysia, 44.5% of organic waste (OW) consists of food waste
(FW), this figure would increase with population growth. Therefore, without effective FW
management, untreated FW dumping will cause environmental pollution, thus affecting
human health as well as ecosystems. Conventional methods such as landfill and
incineration have long been the most popular practice to address the FW issues, offering
simple and cost-effective approach. Most of the time, these methods are not sustainable
since they pose other environmental pollution such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
and leachate contamination leading to groundwater pollutions. Other issues with landfills
are that self-composting at landfill site takes a long time and most landfills in Malaysia are
almost at full capacity. The composting technique has recently gained more attraction as a
cost-effective and sustainable method for the FW issue. This paper reviews techniques of
composting food waste at home by using a conventional natural and rapid process. The
performance of each technique in terms of cost, sustainability, user-friendly and time are
measured in this review. Finally, the future direction of food waste solution by sustainable
composting technique is briefly discussed in this paper.
Lettuce classification using convolutional neural network
Authors: Hassim S.A. , Chuah J.H.
Published: December 2020

Determining the varieties of lettuce through image processing and pattern recognition is a
part of precision farming. Automatic classification is becoming vital for precision farming
practice as it is rapidly sprouting field with the emergence of many applications in
agriculture. It is a hassling process to differentiate and identify the lettuce varieties
through human capabilities as it is time-consuming and also prone to errors in the
identification process. Hence, there is a need to perform this task assisted by a machine
capability which makes it faster with even greater accuracy. The objective of this research
work is to design lettuce varieties recognition using Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) in MATLAB with an accuracy of at least 90%. CNN was employed to classify
seven types of most commonly found lettuce. The CNN model was trained with 7000
leaves and tested with 1800 leaves for the classification of 7 varieties of lettuce. The
overall classification accuracy is 97.8%; meanwhile, individual classification accuracies
for the selected lettuce varieties, i.e. Butterhead, Celtuce Love, Italian, Red Coral, Lactuca
Sativa Lettuce, Red Oakleaf and Salad Grand Rapid are 97%, 99.3%, 98.7%, 96%, 100%,
99.3%, and 94%, respectively. The results from this study have proven the high
effectiveness of using a machine learning technique, i.e. CNN, to identify a particular
variety of lettuce.
3D food printing as a promising tool for food fabrication: 3D printing of chocolate
Authors: M. Sylvester , B. Bhandari , S. Prakash
Published: December 2020

The optimisation of printing dark chocolate was investigated, which included 3D printer
modification. The modification comprises development of custom printer bed an inbuilt
water recirculation system with a slow flow rate of 6.3 mL/s to avoid vibration.
Additionally, a fan was attached to enhance the solidification of chocolate. It was found
that 32°C was the optimal condition of chocolate melting and this temperature was applied
in the printing process. The addition of the support structure on the mechanical properties
of chocolate such as cross and parallel support structures printed in a hexagonal shape was
also investigated. Findings indicated that the cross support increased the stability and
strength (57.5±4.8 N) of chocolate more than the chocolate printed with parallel support
(50.5±2.7 N) and without any support structure (12.6±6.1 N). Different infill structures
(infill pattern and percentage) can contribute to the textural modification of 3D printed
chocolate. The appearance of the 3DP construction was vital as this modality can
influence the acceptability of the product. Sensory analysis was conducted among 30 semi
-trained panellists. Most participants favoured the appearance of sample 3DP100%_IP
(1.33) to those of samples 3DP25%_IP (2.00) and 3DP50%_IP (2.67). On the textural
perspectives, consumers indicated their potential preferences on chocolate printed with
25% infill percentage. Similar results from consumer paired-preference test were obtained.
These results suggested that consumer realised the potential of 3D printing for textural
modification.
ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ РАЗВИТИЯ АЭРОПОРТОВ СЕВЕРО-КАВКАЗСКОГО ФЕДЕРАЛЬНОГО ОКРУГА В УСЛОВИЯХ МАКРОЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОЙ НЕСТАБИЛЬНОСТИ
Authors: Рублев Владимир Владимирович
Published: December 2020

Цель работы: ключевой целью проводимого исследования стал анализ деятельности региональных аэропортов Северо-Кавказского федерального округа и представление предложений по развитию в условиях макроэкономической нестабильности. Методология и методы проведения работы: в статье представлен анализ деятельности аэропортов Северо-Кавказского федерального округа. На основании анализа маркетинговой политики бюджетных авиакомпаний «easyJet» (Великобритания) и «Fly Arystan» (Республика Казахстан) предложена модель развития региональных аэропортов СКФО, выраженная в расширении сотрудничества с бюджетными авиакомпаниями Российской Федерации и зарубежных стран. Результаты: развитие направления бюджетных авиаперевозок способствовало эффективному преодолению последствий мирового финансового кризиса 2008 года на рынке пассажирских авиаперевозок Европы. В основе концепции бюджетной авиакомпании заложен принцип минимизации производственных издержек в сочетании с высокой эксплуатационной эффективностью воздушных судов. Венгерская бюджетная авиакомпания «Wizz Air» в 2019 году в день перевозила более 1000 пассажиров одним воздушным судном. При загрузке в 190 пассажиров авиакомпании необходимо выполнить не менее 6 рейсов в сутки с высокой загруженностью. Достижение данного показателя возможно при осуществлении авиаперелетов малой и средней дальности (от 300 до 1500 км). Следовательно, ключевыми игроками на рынке региональных авиаперевозок Европы являются бюджетные авиакомпании. По итогам 2019 года из 6 крупных авиакомпаний и авиахолдингов Европы 3 являются классическими авиакомпаниями, а в структуру холдингов «Lufthansa Group» (Германия) и «LAG» (Великобритания) входят бюджетные авиакомпании. Область применения результатов: результаты исследования могут быть применимы для разработки концепции развития региональных аэропортов Северо-Кавказского федерального округа в условиях преодоления последствий кризиса, вызванного риском распространения COVID-19. Выводы: в условиях макроэкономической нестабильности, временного прекращения авиасообщения с зарубежными государствами регионы Северного Кавказа могут значительно увеличить показатели развития внутреннего туризма. Развитие направления бюджетных авиаперевозок, расширение сотрудничества с российской бюджетной авиакомпанией «Победа», а также с бюджетными авиакомпаниями зарубежных стран могут стать ключевым фактором развития региональных аэропортов и увеличения туристического потока региона в условиях макроэкономической нестабильности.

LAS POLÍTICAS DE IGUALDAD: DE LA «CEGUERA DE GÉNERO» A LA «PERTINENCIA DE GÉNERO» EN LA EVALUACIÓN DE EVALUABILIDAD
Authors: Sánchez Nimo Silvana
Published: December 2020

El impulso y consolidación del mainstreaming o transversalidad de género desde la IV Conferencia Mundial de la Mujer de las Naciones Unidad (Beijing, 1995) ha sentado las bases de la incorporación de la perspectiva de género en todo el ciclo de vida de una política pública, incluyendo entre ello la evaluación de esta. El presente trabajo académico radica en una aproximación, como parte de un estudio más amplio, sobre la inclusión de la perspectiva de género en los análisis de evaluabilidad. Con ello, se ha realizado una revisión de la literatura con el objetivo de analizar las contribuciones metodológicas en materia de evaluabilidad desde la perspectiva de género, poniendo el acento en la pertinencia de género sobre los protocolos y estudios de evaluabilidad de las políticas de igualdad. A este respecto, se han observado algunas limitaciones en la literatura y en los propios estudios de evaluabilidad, derivados de una ausencia de perspectiva de género en los mismos. Dada esta circunstancia, en este artículo se plasman una serie de recomendaciones con respecto a la pertinencia de género en los protocolos de evaluabilidad, así como en la práctica de esta.
DESMESURA Y FRAGMENTACIÓN EN EL FEMINISMO MAINSTREAM DE LAS ACTRICES DE HOLLYWOOD
Authors: Fernández Hernández Lola
Published: December 2020

Los discursos de las actrices premiadas en los Globos de Oro y los premios Oscar se han convertido en un acontecimiento mediático global que, gracias a su viralidad, ha logrado amplificar enormemente los mensajes feministas que se infiltran en ellos. Son contenidos del entretenimiento con una altísima capacidad de réplica en los medios de comunicación y las redes sociales, gran repercusión popular y aporte sustancial al feminismo mainstream, feminismo neoliberal o posfeminismo. Nuestro objetivo es explorar los límites del potencial emancipador del feminismo de dichos discursos, a través del análisis de dos de ellos mediante las herramientas conceptuales del feminismo decolonial. Trataremos así de poner de manifiesto los mecanismos que aligeran la carga política de dichos mensajes feministas y de descubrir qué aspectos de esos mensajes se realzan y cuáles se eliminan.

Published: December 2020

El objetivo de este trabajo es el examen de las claves del recuerdo que se contienen en el videojuego de tema histórico. Partimos de la distinción realizada por Tzvetan Todorov entre memoria literal y memoria ejemplar y analizamos dos títulos, Red Dead Redemption 2 (Rockstar Games, 2018) y This War of Mine (11 bit studios, 2014), para ilustrar cada uno de estos tipos de memoria. Sobre esta base examinaremos tres elementos de cada título, la intención de los autores, los mensajes y las imágenes contenidas en cada obra. Todo ello, junto al contexto historiográfico, nos ofrecerá la información necesaria para determinar el porqué del recuerdo en el videojuego histórico acercándonos, en un contexto más general, a las causas y potenciales consecuencias de la memoria en los medios de comunicación de masas.
Guerras de memoria en Francia y su uso político por Nicolas Sarkozy
Authors: Garcés González Jorge
Published: December 2020

En este estudio se examina cómo afrontó Francia ciertos pasados traumáticos durante el mandato presidencial de Nicolas Sarkozy (2007-2012), y en particular los debates historiográficos, las polémicas públicas y las demandas sociales que subyacen en las guerras de memoria en torno a dos estos temas: la apropiación de la memoria del joven comunista Guy Môquet, asesinado por los nazis durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y su instrumentalización electoralista de la guerra de Argelia. La V República desarrolló una política institucional basada en la promulgación de un conjunto de leyes memoriales que generaron numerosas reticencias en el seno de la comunidad académica. Ese proceso y, sobre todo, la utilización política de la historia emprendida por Sarkozy, constituye el núcleo central de este estudio, deudor de los métodos de la historia del tiempo presente.
La Crónica abreviada de don Juan Manuel en la historiografía post-alfonsí
Authors: Salgado Loureiro José Ángel
Published: December 2020

El estudio de la Crónica abreviada estuvo tradicionalmente vinculado a la crítica de su fuente, la Estoria de España de Alfonso X. En el análisis e interpretación de la obra, los trabajos se han centrado especialmente en aspectos textuales o literarios. Respecto a la figura de don Juan Manuel como autor, se pueden identificar dos líneas de estudio principales. Una que lo ha relacionado con la cronística nobiliaria post-alfonsí, detractora de la ideología regia castellana, y otra que se ha centrado en el aprovechamiento de la imagen autoral del “Rey Sabio”. En este texto examinamos el anclaje textual e ideológico de la Crónica abreviada dentro de la cronística post-alfonsí. Para ello presentamos un enfoque de carácter historiográfico que nos permita comprender la realidad de don Juan Manuel como cronista post-alfonsí a inicios del siglo XIV.

A vueltas con la descolonización: propuestas para algunas conceptualizaciones coloniales
Authors: Goikolea-Amiano Itzea 
Published: December 2020

A la luz de los debates sobre el legado colonial que están teniendo lugar en el ámbito académico y en la sociedad civil en los últimos años, este artículo propone algunas herramientas teórico-metodológicas para concebir “lo colonial” de manera crítica y de(s)colonial. Proponemos abordar dicha categoría como una construcción compleja en cuya configuración los sujetos, las epistemologías y las estructuras sociopolíticas colonizadas jugaron un papel importante. Basándonos en diferentes trabajos académicos, planteamos dar visibilidad a la heterogeneidad y realizar comparativas histórico-espaciales para evitar los esencialismos. Además, desarrollamos algunos ejemplos empíricos del Marruecos colonial relacionados con el género y la “desacralización de la historia”.

THE IMPROVEMENT OF NTRUENCRYPT PUBLIC KEY CRYPTOSYSTEM: DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
Authors: Ilyenko Anna , Ilyenko Sergii , Prokopenko Olena
Published: December 2020

Today cryptographic systems provide secure communication between users. In the present paper we describe existing cryptographic systems such as: systems based on the complexity of factorization of a large integer (RSA); systems based on the complexity of solving a discrete logarithm in finite Galois field (eigamal, DSA); systems based on the complexity of solving a discrete logarithm in a group of points of an elliptic curve (ECC); lattice-based systems (NTRU). Authors focus their attention on ntruencrypt encryption and decryption algorithm. The ntruencrypt public key cryptosystem guarantees the integrity and confidentiality of information when transmitting, storing and processing information messages in modern computer systems and networks. The conducted studies of public key cryptosystem made it possible to determine the way of the improve ntruencrypt public key cryptosystem. In this paper, we present improved ntruencrypt public key cryptosystem which is based on the correct selection of parameters p and q. The authors concluded that, to reduce the difference between the length of ciphertext and plaintext, it is necessary to take p and q closer to each other. At the same time it is necessary to consider that at too close values p and q the cryptosystem can be weakened. The main difference between the proposed schemes was the reducing the size of ciphertext which can minimizes the time for software encryption and decryption operations. As a result is a software implementation of the procedure for the encryption and decryption of the improve ntruencrypt public key cryptosystem using a programming language Ruby 1.9.3 was obtained using the cryptolib library. Improved algorithm will be a perfect tool for ensuring the confidentiality of information, using “cloud” computing, because protecting information from unauthorized access is one of the most pressing problems. The authors further plan a number of scientific and technical solutions to develop and implement effective methods, tools to meet the requirements, principles and approaches to cyber security and cryptosystems for provide integrity and confidentiality of information in experimental computer systems and networks.

Slavery through a Rhetorical Lens: The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill as the Female Neo-slave Narrative
Authors: Gasztold Brygida
Published: December 2020

The paper uses the rhetorical lenses to examine a neo-slave narrative The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill. The exploration of emotive, ethical, and political dimensions of the text allows the author to demonstrate its emotional and moral effects, deriving within the triad author-text-reader. The article particularly highlights gendered aspects of bondage, which have been traditionally marginalized. The female protagonist and the message that her story conveys prompt the readers to assume a position on the subject of slavery which transcends the story as such and condemns the legal institution of human chattel enslavement in all its representation.
Construction of Whiteness and Blackness in Herman Melville’s Benito Cereno
Authors: Szmańko Klara
Published: December 2020

Rather than resist slavery directly, the narrative world of Benito Cereno disperses the rejection of tyranny through the intricate construction of subject-object relations, the situational context, Benito Cereno’s stifled, semi-articulated statements, the imagery of the narrative and its complex narrative structure. Through silences, multiple viewpoints, innuendos, refusal to solve certain issues definitely while being explicit about this indeterminacy, Melville’s narrative not only inscribes itself in the Romantic questioning of historiography, but also gestures towards postmodernist inconclusiveness and the writerly text in which the reader is invited to be its co-author who fills out the gaps and silences with their own interpretation.

It can be broadly defined as the process of buying or selling of goods or services using an Electronic Medium such as the Internet. A person sitting on his chair in front of a computer can access all the facilities of the internet to buy or sell the products. Traditional commerce that is carried out physically with effort of a person to go and get products. E-commerce has made it easier for human to reduce physical work and to save a lot of time. Even though it gives a lot of advantages to the economy, it faces some demerits mainly in the case of security. Security is the challenge facing E-commerce today. With the invention of E-commerce there is the possibility for B to B business, business through ads in YouTube, through website, mobile commerce, Electronic Fund Transfer, supply chain management, internet marketing, online transaction process etc..Even though with merits and demerits, E-commerce is in a developing stage.

Intelligibility of L2 speech in ELF
Authors: Lochland Paul
Published: December 2020

This paper investigates the phonology of L2 speech and its impact on intelligibility in English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) contexts. Many studies have considered speaker-related characteristics, such as speech styles and pronunciation features, that influence the intelligibility of L2 speech for both non-native speakers (NNS) and native speakers (NS). However, only a handful of studies have considered what impact listener-related conditions, such as a shared first language (L1) background or L1 typology between NNSs, may have on the intelligibility of their speech. Therefore, an online survey was used to study the intelligibility of Mandarin-English, French-English, Japanese-English, and German-English from the perspective of 100 NNSs. It was hypothesized that a shared L1 or shared L1 typology between two NNSs will enhance the intelligibility of their speech. However, the findings did not support this supposition. For example, the Mandarin speakers did not find Mandarin-English to be more intelligible than Japanese-English or any of the other two accent types. Similarly, the results indicated that a shared L1 typology between two NNSs does not improve the intelligibility of their speech. The data did suggest however that a listeners’ familiarity to one accent type may improve the intelligibility of a typologically related novel L2 accent. The limitations of the findings are discussed along with their implications for future research directions.
Formulation processes of monolingual, bilingual, and biliterate writers: Effects of biliteracy
Authors: Ng Elaine
Published: December 2020

By looking beyond their written products into what they do as they write, this mixed methods study offers insights into the writing process of writers who have mastered one language and those who have mastered two. It investigates the cognitive effects of bilingualism and biliteracy on the writing processes of years ten and eleven Sydney high school writers across three groups (N = 30): English monolinguals, Chinese-English bilinguals, and Chinese-English biliterates, focusing on their formulation processes (i.e., how thoughts are converted into language and the written form). Findings indicate distinctive features and patterns of writing behaviours, possibly reflecting specific strengths and weaknesses for each group. The monolinguals demonstrated strategic use of vocabulary, while the biliterates and bilinguals demonstrated prospective and retrospective behaviours when formulating. These findings are discussed in light of studies on the writing process and on the effects of bilingualism.

Weather prediction is usually performed for a reference in planning future activity. The prediction is performed by considering several parameters, such as temperature, air pressure, humidity, wind, rainfall, and others. In this study, the temperature, as one of weather parameters, is predicted by using time series from January 2015 to December 2017. The data was obtained from Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI) weather measurement station in Muaro Anai, Padang. The predictions were carried out by using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Multilayer  Perceptron  (MLP), and the hybrid of CNN-MLP methods. The parameters used in the CNN method, such as the number of filters and kernel size, and used in the MLP method, such as the number of hidden layers and number of neurons, were selected by performing the hyperparameter tuning procedure. After obtaining the best parameters for both methods, the performance of both methods was evaluated by calculating the value of Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and R2. Based on the results, we found that the prediction by CNN is more accurate than other method. This is indicated by the highest value of R2 of the prediction obtained by CNN method.

Published: December 2020

Analytical methods for gate delay estimation are very useful to speedup timing analysis of digital integrated circuits. This work presents a novel approach to analytically estimate the CMOS inverter delay. The proposed method considers the influence of input slope, output load and I/O coupling capacitance, as well as relevant effects such as channel length modulation and drain induced barrier lowering. Experimental results are on good agreement with HSPICE simulations, showing significant accuracy improvement compared to published related work. The delay model error has an average value of 3%, and the worst case error is smaller than 10%.

Authors: Zhao Jun , Kim Kyung Ki , Kim Yong-Bin
Published: December 2020

In this paper, a negative high voltage DC-DC converter using a new cross-coupled charge pump structure has been proposed, which can solve the shoot-through current problem of the conventional charge pump by using a four clock phase scheme. Also, by switching the power supply to each stage based on the supply voltage, a variable voltage gain can be obtained. A complete analysis of the interaction between the power efficiency, area, and frequency have been presented. The proposed negative charge pump is designed to deliver 40μA with a widesupply range from 2.5V to 5.5V using 0.18μm high voltage LDMOS technology.

The growing interest in magnetic nanowires (NWs) is connected to possibility of employing them for advanced applications in wide technological fields, such as data storage and biotechnology. In addition, NWs can be used as sensor devices for several applications, since they present high sensitivity to their environment. One of the major challenges when dealing with transport measurements in NWs is to trap them between electrodes, which allows electrical characterization and therefore fabrication of nanowire-based devices. Electrically neutral NWs can be deposited by dielectrophoresis (DEP) method, which requires the application of an alternating electric field between electrodes. In this work, Ni nanowires (NiNWs) fabricated by electrodeposition technique and properly dispersed in a dimethylformalmide (DMF) solution were deposited on top of Pt electrodes using the DEP method. The deposited NiNWs exhibit initially a Schottky-like current versus voltage behavior due to the high contact resistance between NiNW and electrode. Its reduction down to three orders of magnitude, reaching value less than the NiNW resistance, was achieved by depositing an ion beam-assisted 10 nm-thick Pt layer over the NWs extremities. Therefore, this method presents a suitable process of NWs deposition and electrical characterization. This can be used for investigation of electrical transport properties of individual NWs and fabrication of NWsbased devices, such as sensors and field-effect transistors. Especially for ferromagnetic NWs, one can use the present method for fabrication of magnetic field-effect transistors (MagFET).
Bio-Amplifier based on MOS bipolar Pseudo-Resistors: A New Approach using its non-linear characteristic

Published: December 2020

This paper proposes a new and refined bio-amplifier design, which associates DC offset cancellation, adequate frequency response and buffered outputs to a significant reduction of the signal recovery time. A MOS-Bipolar pseudo-resistor integrated to the feedback network of a single-stage Operational Transconductance Amplifier and the source-follower buffers give to the new topology its main advantages. This architecture makes use of the high resistance values of these pseudo-resistors to eliminate the offset DC level input preserving the low cut-off frequency, without the need of high capacitances, thereby significantly reducing the active die area, which enables its use as a front-end pre-amplifier assembled directly on the acquisition probes. The recovery time after an input voltage transitory of high-amplitude is an important characteristic of the bio-potential amplifiers due to their very low cut-off frequency. The proposed bio-amplifier utilizes the non-linear characteristics of the pseudo-resistor in the recovery time reduction. This time was evaluated and the topology presented a significant contribution in this aspect, assuming values 90% lower when compared with the same topology using a constant resistance. The new amplifier allows voltage gain of 30dB from 0.6 Hz to 2 kHz, and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of 0.19% for an input signal of 10Hz. This work also provides a behavioral spice model for MOS-Bipolar pseudo-resistor, which allows an accurate simulation of the linear and nonlinear pseudo-resistor characteristics, obtained through an experimental method of indirect characterization. This method is based on the transitory response from a first order RC low pass filter. The experimental characterization method is of fundamental importance, due to the absence of appropriate SPICE models that describe with precision the pseudo-resistance behavior. The circuits were manufactured by MOSIS on 8HP SiGe BiCmos Global Foundries 0.13μm technology.
