History of Research on Phospholipid Metabolism and Applications to the Detection, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Cancer
Authors: Cohen Jack S. , Daly Peter F.
Published: March 2022

In the past 30 years there has been a significant increase in the number of publications on phospholipid (PL) metabolism, both for the medical purposes of detection and diagnosis of cancer and for the monitoring of the treatment of human cancers.  Most of the work has focused on the pathway that produces phosphatidylcholine, the major component of human cell membranes. The trigger for this research was the advent of applications of NMR spectroscopy in vitro and in vivo in the 1980’s and observations that most cancer cells and tumors had significant increases in the water-soluble PL precursors and breakdown products. Increased phosphocholine (PC) has been focused on as a marker for cancer using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET).  MRS is now used clinically to aid in the diagnosis and severity of some brain tumors; and choline PET is used for the diagnosis and staging of recurrent prostate cancer, paid for by medical insurance companies. Another major area of research starting in the 1990’s was the development of specific choline kinase (CK) inhibitors aimed at the isoenzyme CK-a. This isoenzyme is markedly upregulated in cancer cells and unexpectedly was found to have a role in oncogenic transformation independent of its enzyme function.
To Print or Not to Print?
Authors: Lo Nostro Pierandrea
Published: March 2022

An interesting paper recently published in Peer J. by Enrique Teran and coworkers casts light on a peculiar side effect of the Covid-19 pandemic that concerns the quality of articles that appeared as preprints in archives or as regular papers in peer-reviewed scholarly journals.

The authors report a detailed perusal of the scientific publications related to research on Covid-19 in a portion of the year 2020.

What emerges from the study is that over the total number of preprints uploaded in the archives' servers, that are not subjected to a formal peer-review process, only about 5.7% were later converted into regular articles and published in scholarly journals after a regular peer-review process. The statistics is based on a global sample of 5,061 preprints uploaded in three different archives.

Authors: Зубков А. Ф. , Зарапина Л. С. , Андрианов К. А.
Published: March 2022

Постановка задачи. Исследовать влияние размера фракций, толщины слоя при уплотнении и процентного содержания битумной эмульсии асфальтогранулята, полученного при разрушении старого дорожного покрытия нежесткого типа методом холодного фрезерования, на модуль упругости дорожной одежды. Результаты. Экспериментально доказано, что с учетом размера фракций введение битумной эмульсии в состав смеси из асфальтогранулята по-разному влияет на прочностные характеристики асфальтогранулобетонной смеси. Наибольший эффект при введении эмульсии в асфальтогранулят достигается при 2 %. Для смеси фракции 5-20 мм повышение битумной эмульсии от 2 до 4 % существенного влияния на прочностные характеристики не оказывает. Для асфальтогранулобетонной смеси с фракциями 20-40 мм при увеличении содержания эмульсии выше 2 % происходит понижение прочностных характеристик слоя дорожной одежды, что объясняется структурой уплотняемого слоя. Выводы. Представлены зависимости для определения модуля упругости слоя из асфальтогранулята с учетом его толщины, размера частиц и процентного содержания битумной эмульсии в смеси.

Statement of the problem. The objective of the study is to Investigate the effect of the size of fractions, layer thickness during compaction and the percentage of bitumen emulsion of asphalt granulate obtained during the destruction of an old non-rigid pavement by cold milling on the elastic modulus of the pavement. Results. It has been experimentally proven that taking into account the size of the fractions, the introduction of a bitumen emulsion into the mixture of asphalt granulate has a different effect on the strength characteristics of the asphalt granular concrete mixture. The greatest effect when the emulsion is introduced into asphalt granulate is achieved at 2 %. For a mixture of a fraction of 5-20 mm, an increase in the bitumen emulsion from 2 to 4 % has no significant effect on the strength characteristics. For an asphalt-granular concrete mixture with fractions of 20-40 mm, with an increase in the emulsion content above 2 %, there is a decrease in the strength characteristics of the pavement layer occurs, which is explained by the structure of the compacted layer. Conclusions. Dependences for determining the modulus of elasticity of an asphalt granulate layer are presented taking into account its thickness, particle size and the percentage of bitumen emulsion in the mixture.
Distant Voices Then and Now: The Impact of Isolation on the Courtroom Narratives of Slave Ship Captives and Asylum Seekers
Authors: Patel Tara
Published: March 2022

Part I compares the nineteenth century cases of the Antelope and the Amistad to identify why they resulted in different outcomes despite having similar fact patterns. The Antelope concerned the fate of approximately 280 African captives discovered on a slave trade ship upon its interception by a U.S. revenue cutter. Since the slave trade in the United States was illegal at the time, the captives were transported to Savannah for trial through which their status—free or slave—would be determined. After a lengthy trial and appeals process in which Spain and Portugal laid claim to the captives, the Supreme Court determined that those captives claimed by a non-U.S. nation were slaves. The Court reasons that however “abhorrent” the slave trade was, the United States was obligated to recognize the rights of other nations to participate in it. In comparison, the Amistad concerned the fate of captives aboard a slave trade ship in which the captives committed mutiny, attempted to sail to Africa, but were captured by a U.S. vessel. The Supreme Court ordered them free despite the Spanish government’s claim that the captives were its property. Part I explores these different outcomes and argues that the absence of Antelope captives’ stories in the litigation process was partly due to the decision to isolate captives in slavery before their status was determined. In particular, it argues that this isolation affected the outcome of the Antelope by preventing captives from sharing their anecdotes and translating them to a format that would resonate with their legal counsel, the public, and judges. In contrast, the Amistad captives, while also detained, were situated close to those who could help them. They were able to transform their truths into a winning narrative for the court by understanding and leveraging the talents and expertise of counsel, and the biases of judges and the public.

Part II argues that 200 years later, a similar environment of isolation suppresses the stories of another group with undetermined legal status: asylum seekers. Although slave ship captives were forced into the country with chains, while asylum seekers are driven into the country by fear, the legal status of both groups in their respective time periods was undetermined upon their arrival. Both groups deserved, by legal and moral standards, the opportunity to present the truth behind their arrival and to prove their legal status. Part II argues that the detention of asylum seekers mirrors the isolation of the Antelope captives by removing detainees from those most able to help them develop a persuasive narrative truth. Detention silences important voices, aggravates ineffective representation, damages public perception, and ultimately harms case outcomes.
Assessment of ensuring the safety of passenger transportation in the process of competitive selection of carriers
Authors:   CHernova G.A. Popov A.V.
Published: March 2022

The article deals with the problems that arise during the competitive selection of passenger carriers at unregulated tariffs. The Federal law defines the procedure for the admission of carriers to regular routes at unregulated tariffs on the basis of competitive selection according to target criteria. The winner is determined by the sum of the points determined for each criterion. The competition for the right to carry out commercial transportation on routes is held in order to select carriers that provide the best conditions for passenger transportation, and is a way of regulating transport services to meet the needs of the population in safe and high-quality transportation. It is established that the existing selection criteria do not meet modern requirements. Proposals are made to improve the criteria for the competitive selection of carriers.

Dalam sistem komunikasi fiber optic, kualitas jaringan menjadi fokus utama untuk menghadirkan jenis layanan yang baik pula. Pengukuran daya sinyal memiliki peranan sangat penting dalam sebuah perancangan sistem komunikasi fiber optic. Maka dari itu, penting untuk mengetahui besarnya daya optis yang terjadi dalam kabel fiber optic. Daya optis dapat diukur dengan menggunakan Optical Power Meter pada sisi receiver. Namun harga optical power meter komersil di pasaran masih terbilang cukup mahal.Untuk itu dilakukan perancangan optical power meter yang lebih efisien dan murah menggunakan microcontroller arduino sebagai pemroses data dengan prinsip perubahan besaran arus pada photodiode menjadi tegangan pada rangkaian OP07. Penelitian dilakukan dengan melakukan perancangan dan perakitan pada print circuit board (pcb) menggunakan sensor photodiode FGA01FC sebagai sensor cahaya dan penggunaan resistor 90 Ω, 900,01 Ω, 9000,9 Ω, 90090,9 Ω, 909090,9 Ω, dan 10 MΩ untuk mendapatkan nilai tegangan. Didapat hasil 0,256 V sampai 2,56 V pada resistor 9000,9 Ω untuk input daya -5 dBm sampai -15 dBm. Untuk input daya -15 dBm hingga -25 dBm digunakan resistor dengan nilai 90090,9 Ω dengan hasil tegangan 0,25 V sampai 2,53 V. Untuk input daya - 25 dBm sampai -35 dBm menghasilkan 0,26 V sampai 2,58 V pada penggunaan resistor 909090,9Ω, dan terakhir untuk input -35 dBm sampai -45 dBm menggunakan resistor 10 MΩ menghasilkan tegangan 0,308 V sampai 2,84 V. Nilai-nilai tersebut sesuai dengan tegangan kerja pada rangkaian arduino yaitu dari 0,2 V sampai 5 V. Sehingga optical power meter dapat mengukur dari rentang 0 dBm sampai -50 dBm.
Estimasi Rasio Redaman dan Moda Osilasi Menggunakan Metode Hilbert-Huang Transform(HHT) pada Two Area Four Machine (TAFM) System
Authors: Puji Ayuning Lestari  , Khairudin  , Herri Gusmedi  , Lukmanul Hakim
Published: March 2022

Osilasi sistem tenaga merupakan fenomena stabilitas dinamis pada sistem tenaga. Osilasi pada sistem tenaga ini dikarenakan adanya variasi sudut rotor pada generator yang disebabkan oleh perubahan variasi pembebanan dan pembangkit. Osilasi sistem tenaga apabila dibiarkan terus-menerus dengan rasio redaman yang buruk maka kestabilan dinamis sistem akan terganggu. Diperlukan adanya mitigasi dini supaya sistem tetap berada dalam kondisi stabil. Pendekatan Hilbert-Huang Transform digunakan untuk menganalisa stabilitas dinamis pada suatu sinyal yang mengandung moda osilasi dan rasio redaman pada sinyal stasioner maupun non-stasioner. Two Area Four Machine System merupakan suatu sistem dengan dua area dengan masing-masing memiliki dua generator yang dihubungkan melalui weak tie line. Simulasi dengan metode Hilbert-Huang Transform dilakukan pada model Two Area Four Machine System dengan memberikan gangguan berupa short circuit pada weak tie line untuk mendapatkan rasio redaman dan moda osilasi yang nantinya akan dibandingkan dengan hasil estimasi menggunakan metode eigenvalue (sebagai referensi) dan metode Complex Morlet-Continuous Wavelet Transform untuk memvalidasi metode yang digunakan. Setelah dilakukan simulasi,maka didapatkan kesimpulan bahwa metode Hilbert-Huang Transform dapat digunakan untuk mengestimasi rasio redaman dan moda osilasi, dan setelah dilakukan perbandingan antara hasil estimasi dengan metode eigenvalue, Complex Morlet-Continuous Wavelet Transform, dan Hilbert-Huang Transform dapat dikatakan bahwa metode Hilbert-Huang Transform lebih praktis karena tidak memerlukan setting bandwidth seperti pada metode Complex Morlet-Continuous Wavelet Transform. Di sisi lain, metode Hilbert-Huang Transform memiliki kelemahan yaitu adanya residu yang mempengaruhi hasil estimasi dengan karakteristik sinyal tertentu.

Is ‘regular’ migration a safer form of migration? The case of Asia
Authors: Foley Laura , Piper Nicola
Published: March 2022

This paper examines one key feature of intra-regional migration in Asia: irregularity, and it does so beyond the typical focus on irregular entry by highlighting ‘irregularity in regularity’, that is irregularity as the result of extremely rigidly designed legal pathways for migration. Our analysis, thus, focuses on the wider policy infrastructure that centres upon securitisation and managerialism, with the result of a high incidence of irregularity. We illustrate these dynamics in relation to labour migration, i.e. the hiring and working conditions of migrant workers. In doing so, this paper seeks to challenge the conventional discourse about irregular migration by showing how the line between regular and irregular migration is blurred and often the result of irregular practices by other actors and, thus, beyond the direct control of migrants. In particular, we analyse how the temporary labour migration schemes deployed in Asia and the decent work deficits facing migrant workers employed via these schemes, are the key source of irregularity. We end by suggesting that more attention should be paid to regulating abusive practices by employers and recruiters instead of criminalising migrants.
Does Brand Concept Mapping Determine Destination Brand Associations and Image?
Authors: Çifci Sertaç , Japutra Arnold , Ekinci Yuksel , Gordon-Wilson Sianne
Published: March 2022

Brand concept maps (BCM) is a mind-mapping method researchers use to explore brand association and brand image, but applications of BCM are rare in tourism research. The aim of the study is to assess usefulness of BCM for developing destination brand association networks and destination
brand image in a domestic (Bolu in Turkey) and an international (Bali in Indonesia) tourism destination. Destination brand associations are generated through interviewing 40 participants, and two destination BCM are developed through aggregating individual BCM from 250 respondents. The findings
of the study suggest that BCM are effective for determining the most salient destination brand features and destination brand association networks. The study recommends both destinations to broaden their appeal to a wider range of tourist segments: the domestic tourism destination to target
international travelers who are interested in skiing, wellness, and sports, and the international tourism destination to target older tourists based on its shopping and beach elements.
Globalisation and Transnational Corporations in the Petroleum Sector of the Nigerian Economy: A Historical Analysis
Authors: Akinbi Joseph Olukayode
Published: March 2022

The crucial ingredient in the development of the global economy or any economy for that matter is an investment. Transnational Corporations (TNCs) are the main purveyors of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). The Nigerian situation is no exception to the above pattern where TNCs occupies a towering influence over strategic sectors of the economy, especially the Petroleum sector. This paper examines the nature, dynamics, and scope of the operations of Transnational Corporations such as the Anglo/Dutch Shell Development Company in Nigeria’s oil sector. The positive and negative impacts of such corporations on the Nigerian economy are also highlighted and weighed. It also analyses why the Nigerian state has found it more difficult to control the activities of such corporations. The research method adopted for the study is a historical approach that took cognisance of existing scholarly works and the use of simple descriptive analysis of available data on the study. The paper concluded by submitting that the corporations benefited more from the Nigerian economy than whatever they might have contributed, while certain suggestions are also proffered as a way forward.
An Evaluation into the Factors Influencing Project Harmony Potential in Construction Projects in Kenya
Authors: Mbatha Samuel Kiilu , Alkizim Ahmad Omar , Mbiti Titus Kivaa
Published: March 2022

Construction projects are widely fraught with conflicts probably as a result of their unpredictability, intricacy, and heterogeneity of players. The management of these conflicts remains ineffective. Empirical evidence from a review of literature has unveiled conflicts to have a detrimental impact on construction projects' performance level, posing a significant barrier to project implementation success, frequently resulting in an increase in project costs, delays in completion, or, in the worst-case scenario, suspension of the project. This study used the measure of the existence or absence of conflicts in under-construction building projects to define the Project harmony aptitude level. This study sought to evaluate into the factors influencing Project Harmony Potential in Construction Projects in Kenya, using a cross-sectional research approach. The cluster technique was used to sample 128 construction building projects registered with NCA in Nairobi within a five-year timespan, which had the embedded unit of analysis under this study. Project developers and financiers, and consultants operating in consultancy or construction firms were randomly sampled and administered with questionnaires. The study utilized inferential statistical analysis of Pearson’s bivariate correlation and regression analysis to identify the significant factors influencing project harmony. The analysis revealed a positive and statistically significant linear relationship between project harmony potential and delay management, partnering orientation of the project team, promptness of Monitoring and Evaluation, direct conflict management provisions in the Project Handbook (PMBOK), the technical experience of the Construction Project Manager (CPM), and communication plan. These parameters were deemed crucial in determining the project harmony potential for Kenyan building projects. These indicators were used to develop a model, which contributed to 69.2% of the project harmony potential. The established model may be used to estimate a project's potential for harmony throughout its execution.
Exploring the Job Satisfaction of Public and Private Employess in Romania
Authors: Ani Matei , Mirela-Nicoleta Fataciune (Badalan)
Published: March 2022

Satisfaction at work is one of the most studied organizational variables and many studies show that it is extremely important for organizations. Closely related to work motivation and performance, satisfaction is an important factor for many attitudes such as absenteeism or intention to resign. The aims of the present study is to measure the degree of job satisfaction of public and private employees in Romania and to analyze the differences between the two sectors. In the present study participated a total of 120 full-time employees of various private enterprises and public organizations. The Job Satisfaction Survey (Spector, 1985) was used to collect data. The survey results indicate a moderate degree of work satisfaction of respondents across most analyzed dimensions of job satisfaction. Two of the analyzed dimensions, one intrinsic (nature of work) and one extrinsic (communication) registered a high score of job satisfaction in both sectors. Instead, the biggest differences are found on dimensions ""supervision"" and the ""co-workers"" (both extrinsic factors) private sector employees showing a higher degree of job satisfaction than those in the public sector. To enhance employee motivation, public-sector managers in Romania should improve their employees’ extrinsic job satisfaction and help unsatisfied employees transfer to jobs they find more satisfying.
Modeling of the Competitive Management Efficiency
Authors: Ghelase Daniela , Daschievici Luiza
Published: March 2022

The dynamic changes and the overall progress of society are reflected at company level by many orders in number, small in volume, very diverse, obtained through frequent auctions with short- term response, which leaves no time for a relevant analysis of said orders. As a result, a long-term management is not appropriate. A sort of fluctuating (just like the market) on-line, fastly responsive, prompt and rapid, however, ephemeral management is called for. In this paper it is considered that a solution for this situation is competitive management. The conventional management is based on the minimum cost, while the competitive management is based on the market success of manufacturing product. The paper presents a numerical study of the competitive management efficiency by comparison to the conventional management.

Major changes have been accounted in the field’s of information technology(IT), the information that may in the form of audio, video and text, can be transferred anytime, from source to destination or vice versa that may located in anywhere in the World. The evolutions that have been made in the communication sectors, such wire and wireless networks, brought many merits for the end-users prospects, but at the same time, several vulnerabilities and threads have also been linked simultaneously with, and during the information exchanges. To keep the information secure before transmits from the source and receives at the destination, two generic security solutions are proposed which provide a significance security for the information that being travelled in the unsecure networks. First solution uses the cryptography mechanisms while the second solution employs a novel shuffling method, which deployed to enhance the security of information while travelling to the unsecured networks. In this study, the random sized panoramic images are considered as information that required to be secured over internet.

Marek Nowicki, MagdaWith the wide adoption of the multicore and multiprocessor systems the parallel programming became a very important element of the computer science. The programming of the multicore systems is still complicated and far to be easy. The difficulties are caused, amongst others, by the parallel tools, libraries and programming models which are not easy especially for a nonexperienced programmer. In this paper, we present PCJ - a Java library for parallel programming of heterogeneous multicore systems. The PCJ is adopting Partitioned Global Address Space paradigm which makes programming easy. We present basic functionality pf the PCJ library and its usage for parallelization of selected applications. The scalability of the genetic algorithm implementation is presented. The parallelization of the N-body algorithm implementation with PCJ is also described.

Towards a Design Theory for Resilient (Sociotechnical, Cyber-Physical, Software-intensive and Systems of) Systems
Authors: Rajamäki Jyri
Published: March 2022

Resilience, as a property of a system, must transition from just a buzzword to an operational paradigm for system management, especially under future climate change. Identifying the need for system resilience requires defining the system. Revolutionary advances in hardware, networking, information and human interface technologies require new ways of thinking about how sociotechnical, cyber-physical, and systems of systems are conceptualized, built and evaluated. The aim of this paper is to start a development process for a design theory (DT) for resilient systems (DT4RS). With the help of DT4RS, communities are able to develop and operate different information and security technologies, and share knowledge and best practices.

The purpose of the study is to analyse and compare the most common machine learning and deep learning techniques used for computer vision 2D object classification tasks. Firstly, we will present the theoretical background of the Bag of Visual words model and Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN). Secondly, we will implement a Bag of Visual Words model, the VGG16 CNN Architecture. Thirdly, we will present our custom and novice DCNN in which we test the aforementioned implementations on a modified version of the Belgium Traffic Sign dataset. Our results showcase the effects of hyperparameters on traditional machine learning and the advantage in terms of accuracy of DCNNs compared to classical machine learning methods. As our tests indicate, our proposed solution can achieve similar - and in some cases better - results than existing DCNNs architectures. Finally, the technical merit of this article lies in the presented computationally simpler DCNN architecture, which we believe can pave the way towards using more efficient architectures for basic tasks.

Indonesia has a very high biodiversity, so it is rich in various medicinal plants that have the potential to be developed and utilized optimally. The phenomenon of society in general is that the use of generic drugs is more effective in treating disease than consuming medicinal plants. The use of medicinal plants is considered ancient and does not provide significant results. Times have started to change where conventional medicine has become a luxury for some people, so traditional medicine through Family Medicinal Plants (TOGA) is starting to be glimpsed by some people in Indonesia. The community partnership program has the aim of increasing community understanding and skills through socialization of the use of TOGA to create a healthy community in Rumbai hill village. There are 3 main components that are discussed in the understanding and skills of the community including: understanding the types of TOGA, understanding the efficacy/benefits of TOGA plants, and being able to practice how to process TOGA. The problem in society is that there are still few people who empower their home yards to plant toga plants. The purpose of this community service is to increase the knowledge of PKK mothers about the types of TOGA, the benefits/benefits of TOGA, and to show the procedures for planting TOGA with limited land. The method used is lecture, demonstration and discussion and question and answer. The result of this service is that the community has used the yard of the house to be planted with toga plants.

The incidence of general developmental delays is not known with certainty, but it is estimated that around 1-3% of children under the age of 5 years experience developmental delay disorders in general. WHO globally described 52.9 million children less than 5 years old, 54% of boys had developmental disorders in 2016. About 95% of children with developmental disorders live in low- and middle-income countries. One way to stimulate children is to use Brain Gym, which is a structured non-aerobic physical exercise intervention in which a combination of certain patterns of movement across the head, eyes, and extremities is performed along with brain and breathing exercises. Brain Gym routine performance results in stimulation and integration of various parts of the brain and motor skills in children. The implementation method is in the form of training with lecture and practical methods. The results showed an increase in the development of pre-school age children in Nurun Insani Kindergarten at the age of 5 and 6 years, namely 100%.
