Strategic planning in agribusiness
Authors: Bittner Beáta , Marczin Tamás , Kovács Tünde Zita
Published: June 2023

Agricultural businesses operate in a complex and dynamic environment, with many challenges and opportunities. It is therefore essential for these businesses to have a strategic plan. It is a critical process that helps businesses navigate in a complex and uncertain environment and achieve long-term goals and objectives. In this article, we have conducted a bibliometric analysis of academic journals to investigate the extent to which strategic planning is a researched topic in agribusiness enterprises. We found that there is no concentrated research, with only three keywords appearing in the literature with at least five repetitions. Even of the two repetitions, only 22 were found. The clustering of keywords helps to identify research directions. The results of a survey of 134 enterprises were then presented. The majority of enterprises do not have a long-term plan or even a written vision. We found that SWOT analysis is still the most common planning method among the companies surveyed. It was also found that there is no difference between industries in this respect. Significant differences were only found in relation to company size, with all large companies having a strategic plan and the vast majority of SMEs not. Only 17 out of 132 firms have a plan longer than three years, and 32 do not have any plan at all. Strategic planning can help to address many of the challenges in the agribusiness area, and it is therefore proposed to improve the proportion of firms planning through knowledge transfer.
A Practical Approach to Improve the MODIS MCD43A Products in Snow-Covered Areas

Published: June 2023

The MODerate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) MCD43A products have been extensively applied in the remote sensing field, but recent researchers have demonstrated that these products still had the potential to be further improved by using the latest development of the kernel-driven model [RossThick-LiSparseReciprocal-Snow (RTLSRS)] in snow-covered areas, since the MCD43A product algorithm [RossThick-LiSparseReciprocal (RTLSR)] needed to be improved for the accurate simulation of snow bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) signatures. In this paper, we proposed a practical approach to improve the MCD43A products, which used the Polarization and Directionality of the Earth's Reflectance (POLDER) observations and random forest algorithm to establish the relationship between the BRDF parameters (MCD43A1) estimated by the RTLSR and RTLSRS models. We applied this relationship to correct the MCD43A1 product and retrieve the corresponding albedo (MCD43A3) and nadir reflectance (MCD43A4). The results obtained highlight several aspects: (a) The proposed approach can perform well in correcting BRDF parameters [root mean square error (RMSE) = ~0.04]. (b) The corrected BRDF parameters were then used to retrieve snow albedo, which matched up quite well with the results of the RTLSRS model. (c) Finally, the snow albedo retrieved by the proposed approach was assessed using ground-based albedo observations. Results indicated that the retrieved snow albedo showed a higher accuracy as compared to the station measurements (RMSE = 0.055, bias = 0.005), which was better than the results of the MODIS albedo product (RMSE = 0.064, bias = −0.018), especially at large angles. These results demonstrated that this proposed approach presented the potential to further improve the MCD43A products in snow-covered areas.
Rapid Unconscious Acquisition of Conditioned Fear with Low-Spatial-Frequency but Emotionally Neutral Stimuli

Published: June 2023

It has long been proposed that emotionally “prepared” (i.e., fear-related) stimuli are privileged in the unconscious acquisition of conditioned fear. However, as fear processing is suggested to highly depend on the coarse, low-spatial-frequency (LSF) components of the fear-related stimuli, it is plausible that LSF may play a unique role in the unconscious fear conditioning even with emotionally neutral stimuli. Here, we provided empirical evidence that, following classical fear conditioning, an invisible, emotionally neutral conditioned stimulus (CS+) with LSF, but not with high spatial frequency (HSF), can rapidly elicit stronger skin conductance responses (SCRs) and larger pupil diameters than its CS− counterpart. In comparison, consciously perceived emotionally neutral CS+ with LSF and HSF elicited comparable SCRs. Taken together, these results support that the unconscious fear conditioning does not necessarily entail emotionally prepared stimuli but prioritizes LSF information processing and highlight the crucial distinctions between the unconscious and the conscious fear learning. These findings not only coincide with the postulation that a rapid, spatial-frequency-dependent subcortical route is engaged in unconscious fear processing but also suggest the existence of multiple routes for conscious fear processing.
“E. T. A. Hoffmann complex” in the novel “Perfume” by Patrick Süskind
Authors: Koroleva Vera V. , Pritomskaya Alina R.
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study is to analyse E.T.A. Hoffmann’s tradition in the 20th century German literature in terms of the novel ‟Perfume: The Story of a Murderer” by P. Süskind. The features of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s aesthetics are considered in the form of an ideological and thematic complex of images, motifs and stylistic techniques inherent in the work of E.T.A. Hoffmann (‟Hoffmann complex of German literature”), which manifests itself in a similar style (irony and grotesque), problems – the mechanization of human and society (realised through the opposition of ‟living” – ‟inanimate”, the motif of duality), understanding the nature of genius (antagonism of genius and philistine) and its relationship with femininity, the problem of violent influence on someone else's personality, as well as in the use of such an artistic technique as synesthesia.
One victory for all: Kostroma Region – for Stalingrad
Authors: Volkova Elena Yu. , Volkov Grigory Yu.
Published: June 2023

In this article, the authors showed for the first time that this victory was achieved by the efforts of everyone: a front-line soldier. Kostromichi fought in all military units in the ranks from soldier to marshal. Among them: Marshals A.V. Vasilevsky and A.A. Novikov, Army General M.V. Malinin, Tank Forces Major General N.A. Novikov, etc. Two Kostroma residents were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union for their exploits in this battle. For many who received the title of Hero later, the battle on the Volga became a school of combat experience. The article examines what role the workers of the Kostroma rear played in achieving victory, providing material, moral and psychological support to the fighters. It is emphasized that this support was mutual. It is also noted that even after the battle, the Kostroma residents continued to provide assistance to the liberated Stalingrad: they sent specialists to restore the city, building materials, food, livestock, etc. Results. The authors came to the unequivocal conclusion that only the unification of the forces of the front-line soldiers and comprehensive assistance from the rear could lead to victory both at Stalingrad and in the entire war.
Structural and semantic characteristics of replica ergonyms in the onomasticon of the City of Astrakhan
Authors: Vasileva Julia A.
Published: June 2023

The purpose of the article is to study the structural and semantic features of replica ergonyms as part of regional onomasticon. The analysis of the nominations of commercial objects of the City of Astrakhan revealed a layer of ergonyms that had appeared as a result of the communicative structures’ lexicalisation. Stylistic features of colloquial speech give replica ergonyms an emotionally expressive colouring. The information incompleteness of the analysed nominations is replenished by lengthening the ergonym with the help of a lexeme – a generic identifier (functional) indicating the profile of an urban object (shop, cafe, pharmacy, bank, etc.).
Understanding the legality of nuclear facility shelling in contemporary legal scholarship
Authors: Metelkov Alexander N.
Published: June 2023

The potential for shelling and attacking nuclear power plants for the first time became an extremely dangerous reality in 2022. What is the purpose of this article, is legal-theoretical analysis of nuclear power plants shelling that would be state-sanctioned and unequivocally threaten world peace and global security, as well as the state and society; it is an analysis based on an interpretation of the sources of positive law. The threats of nuclear catastrophe, which may result from warfare and terrorist acts, loom over the state, society and the planet's radiation balance, creating the potential for environmental damage. At a time of escalating global confrontation with Russia, deepening the legal content of counter-nuclear terrorism to theorise and develop state-legal restrictive measures to legally limit military activities at nuclear power plants or in their immediate vicinity is relevant because of the danger of releasing destructive nuclear forces, radioactive contamination of people and territorial pollution. Developing legal norms that would limit military and subversive-terrorist activities of certain states in relation to nuclear facilities at the international and national levels would minimise threats to nuclear and radiation safety.
Historical and legal features of the formation of the state sovereignty of Donetsk People's Republic in 1917–1919
Authors: Usacheva Aleksandra A.
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the historical and legal features and origins of the formation of the state sovereignty of Donetsk People's Republic (hereinafter the DPR). The problem of the formation of the state sovereignty of the DPR is multifaceted and in many ways unique. Today, there is a shortage of special studies, and the available works are rather fragmentary, concentrating on certain aspects of the problem. Fundamentally important issues of methodological, theoretical and practical orientation are practically deprived of scientific attention. Based on the involvement of a set of documents of a political and legal nature, the author analysed the existing in 1917–1919 various state-political projects on the territory of the modern DPR. Analysing the historical and legal features and origins of the formation of the state sovereignty of the DPR, it seems appropriate appeal to historical and legal methods of research. The methodological guidelines are substantiated by the interdisciplinary nature of the issue, which allows comprehensively considering specific phenomena, taking a fresh look at the already established and interconnected facts and events in the region. It allows us to more accurately place legal assessments from the standpoint of the past state of its form, content and essence, as well as through the prism of modern understanding. The analysis of the materials allowed coming to a number of conclusions and making some generalisations. The purpose of the article is to attempt to analyse the historical and legal features and origins of the formation of the DPR state sovereignty based on the involvement of documents of a political and legal nature, affecting the period 1917–1919.

Published: June 2023

The process of adapting students to the learning and educational environment of a higher education institution is an area of extremely close attention, as it is viewed from the perspective of student health promotion. Physical education and sport occupy an important place in the paradigm of health-preserving function. Given the socially conditioned orientation of the physical education and sport continuum, part of its tasks contribute to solving the issues of adaptation of the student population. The subject orientation of physical education and sport considers the mental processes and the physical state of the attending students’ organisms in the format of the adaptation capabilities of the said people. Due to the peculiarities of the adaptation process, what remains an important condition is the initial period of learning, which has a significant impact on the process of self-determination of students in the learning community. A special role is assigned to the process of physical upbringing with enhanced opportunities for specific communication in learning and sportsmanship in this context. The personal factors that stimulate the adaptability of the trainees – the presence or absence of sports experience, the level of physical fitness – are tested in the course of the study. A comparative analysis of the performance of the attestation requirements in the subject "Physical Education & Sport" in the 1st semester of 3 categories of students – with high, medium & low levels of physical fitness – is conducted. The lack of goal-oriented practice in the use of physical education and sport for the above-mentioned purpose is revealed in the study of 1st year students' adaptation to the conditions of the educational environment. This is the proposed in this study to consider the problematic of 1st-year students' adaptation through the analysis of the interacting components of the above-mentioned activity – motor training, motivational aspects, mental reactions. What served as evaluation tools in the process of extracurricular activities, included the motivational side of the conducted experiment, including personal sports achievements.

Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the problem of forming the value foundations of the information culture of students of the organisation of secondary vocational education. The information and educational environment is considered as a condition for the formation of the value foundations of the information culture of the individual. The paper presents a theoretical analysis of research on the formation of the value foundations of the information culture of the individual, as well as the creation of a value-rich information and educational environment. The analysis of the earlier studies of environmental issues allowed us to identify the components of a value-rich information and educational environment. The article describes the experimental work on the creation of an environment in an educational organisation of secondary vocational education that ensures the formation of the value foundations of the information culture of the individual. The paper describes the authors’ diagnostic tools for assessing the influence of the educational environment of the organisation of secondary vocational education in the process of forming the information culture of students. Correlation analysis demonstrates that the saturation of the environment with the value foundations of information culture has a significant impact on the activities of the subjects of the educational process and, in general, on the formation of the value foundations of students' information culture.

Authors: Barabanova Elena I.
Published: June 2023

The article discusses the features of using personal-oriented approach as methodological basis of organisation of process of learning foreign languages. The author compares different points of view and suggests methodological assumptions about the reorganisation of the traditional approach to the practice of learning how to work out the skills of interpersonal communication. The author notes that personal-oriented approach means interaction of all members of learning process which helps to exchange authentic information in a foreign language. The author gives methodological grounds developing skills of informational exchange in a foreign language and possessing experience of communication in oral and written forms. The article analyses principles of learning a foreign language via stimulation of students’ cognitive activity which results in the development of social processes in the society. The article notes that the success in learning oral and written speech in methodic of teaching foreign languages depends on students’ individual-aged peculiarities, on linguistic and discursive characteristics of texts and on students’ motivation and conditions of study. The author concludes that systematic control of formed skills is the main condition of successful learning of oral and written speech.
Fuzzy Cluster Analysis: Pseudometrics and Fuzzy Clusters
Authors: Riasna Iryna
Published: June 2023

Introduction. Clustering problems arise in various spheres of human activity. In cases where there are no initial data sufficient for statistical analysis or information obtained from experts is used, fuzzy models are proposed that take into account different types of uncertainty and more argumentatively reflect real situations that model systems of different purposes. Particular attention is drawn to invariance in problems with different types of data measured in different scales according to the classification of S. Stevens. It is known that when solving cluster analysis problems using the transitive closure operation with respect to the equivalence that is obtained, such connections between objects as similarity and dissimilarity are changed. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the problem of adequacy when developing models and algorithms for solving problems of fuzzy cluster analysis.
The purpose of the paper is an analyzing the problem of adequacy of the results of fuzzy cluster analysis on the introduction of metrics and pseudometrics on fuzzy sets in the presence of several qualitative and quantitative characteristics of objects. Propose an approach that ensures the adequacy of pseudometrics, that is, provides invariance with respect to permissible transformations of the values of fuzzy features, and also ensures the division of objects into equivalence classes without distorting the distance between them.
Results. Axiomatic definitions of a fuzzy cluster and a fuzzy α level cluster are proposed, which are introduced as fuzzy sets of elements similar to certain elements of a given set, if the condition is met: the dissimilarity ratio must be an invariant pseudometric. This condition is ensured by the use of the linguistic correlation coefficient when calculating fuzzy relations of similarity and dissimilarity. Based on the definition of a fuzzy cluster of α level and threshold conorm, the distance between fuzzy clusters of α level is determined.
Conclusions. The proposed approach can be the basis for the development of algorithms for solving cluster analysis problems. This provides a meaningful interpretation of the obtained clusters, and the possibility of clarifying the results in further studies of their structure. Keywords: fuzzy set, conorm, metric, pseudometric, fuzzy similarity relation, fuzzy cluster.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DEEP GENOTYPING IN CROP BREEDING
Authors: Zambelli A.
Published: June 2023

One of the greatest challenges facing humanity is the development of sustainable strategies to ensure food availability in response to population growth and climate change. One approach that can contribute to increase food security is to close yield gaps and enhancing genetic gain; to such end, what is known as “molecular breeding” plays a fundamental role. Since a crop breeding program is mainly based on the quality of the germplasm, its detailed genetic characterization is mandatory to ensure the efficient use of genetic resources and accelerating development of superior varieties. Deep genotyping is an essential tool for a comprehensive characterization of the germplasm of interest and, fortunately, the technology is now accessible at a reasonable cost. What must be ensured is the correct interpretation of the genotypic information and on that basis develop efficient practical molecular crop breeding strategies that respond to the real needs of the breeding program.

Comprendre la persévérance et la réussite à l’université : de la nécessité de diversifier les approches culturelles et méthodologiques
Authors: Muamba Maurice Katamba , Mutatayi Madeleine Kapinga , Frenay Mariane
Published: June 2023

La recherche sur la transition de l’enseignement secondaire vers l’enseignement supérieur, et l’adaptation à ce dernier ont une longue tradition. Les recherches ont évolué progressivement d’une approche par facteurs isolés cherchant à expliquer les taux de réussite ou d’échec vers la prise en compte de modèles plus complexes pour comprendre les processus de persévérance et de réussite, élargissant également le type de variables prises en compte. Cependant, les études ont été menées, dans leur large majorité, en contexte occidental. Dans cet article – à partir d’études récentes menées en Afrique francophone (RDC et Burundi), nous pointons l’intérêt de diversifier les approches méthodologiques, en questionnant la pertinence culturelle des outils et des approches, pour tenir compte de la pluralité des contextes sociaux et culturels. Nos résultats invitent également à relativiser certains des résultats actuels et à les replacer dans une approche plus nuancée et contextualisée permettant de penser les dispositifs d’accompagnement de la transition vers l’enseignement supérieur, en tenant compte des contextes et réalités éducatives spécifiques.
La précarité ressentie des étudiant·e·s en 2020
Authors: Chevalier Tom
Published: June 2023

Ce texte analyse les contours de la précarité des étudiants en 2020 en France en utilisant les données de l’enquête « Conditions de vie » de l’Observatoire de la vie étudiante. Il est statistiquement compliqué d’établir un taux de pauvreté pour les étudiants en raison de l’importance des aides parentales, et c’est la raison pour laquelle les indicateurs subjectifs sont intéressants pour évaluer les niveaux de précarité de cette population. Si cette précarité ressentie semble avoir décliné depuis 2013, elle demeure néanmoins à des niveaux élevés : 20 % déclarent des difficultés financières et 26 % des restrictions budgétaires en 2020, contre un taux de pauvreté dans la population générale d’environ 14 %. Cette précarité a fortement augmenté lors du premier confinement de 2020 puisqu’un tiers des étudiants déclarait alors des difficultés financières. Lors de cette période, cette précarité a eu un effet conséquent en matière de santé mentale : elle a fortement augmenté le sentiment de solitude des étudiants (+16 points de pourcentage) et a réduit leurs niveaux de bien-être.
Les réorientations dans l’enseignement supérieur : des parcours désordonnés bien ordonnés ?
Authors: Couto Marie-Paule
Published: June 2023

Les candidats à la réorientation (ou en reprise d’études) représentent 20 % des inscrits sur le portail national d’affectation à l’enseignement supérieur Parcoursup. Le modèle des parcours d’études linéaires (correspondant à plusieurs années successives au sein d’une même formation) serait en train de laisser place à une « nouvelle norme » de trajectoire étudiante, marquée par des ruptures et des changements de cursus. Pourtant, ces candidats sont fortement pénalisés dans les classements Parcoursup (comparativement aux néo-bacheliers) et les logiques à l’œuvre dans leurs parcours échappent à de nombreuses analyses. Cette contribution présente une typologie des étudiants en réorientation qui articule leurs propriétés sociales et scolaires, leurs modalités d’orientation post-bac et leurs premières expériences de l’enseignement supérieur. La manière dont se combinent ces différentes dimensions permet de distinguer six configurations d’étudiants en réorientation et d’éclairer des parcours qui ne sont qu’en apparence désordonnés.

Published: June 2023

Si le domaine de l’enseignement supérieur a fait l’objet de nombreux travaux analysant les inégalités sociales et de genre qui marquent les trajectoires étudiantes, il a encore peu été analysé sous l’angle des discriminations. Partant de ce constat, une équipe de recherche a lancé la recherche ACADISCRI, visant à mesurer et comprendre l’expérience des discriminations dans le monde académique. S’appuyant sur les données collectées lors de l’enquête « pilote » dans une université francilienne, l’article présente les premiers résultats de cette recherche. Il souligne la présence significative de traitements discriminatoires dans l’espace universitaire, particulièrement parmi les femmes et les minorités racialisées, de même que la faible connaissance et le rare recours aux dispositifs institutionnels permettant de les dénoncer.

Comme dans d’autres pays, l’enseignement supérieur aux États-Unis présente de véritables opportunités pour les lycéens et les territoires. Cependant, les chances d’accéder à l’enseignement supérieur restent fortement inégales. Afin de comprendre les forces qui contribuent à la réussite de l’enseignement supérieur aux États-Unis, cet article donne d’abord un bref aperçu des caractéristiques du système d’enseignement supérieur du pays. Il aborde ensuite l’importance de la préparation académique dans les lycées, des ressources financières et de l’information pour l’inscription et la réussite dans l’enseignement supérieur, ainsi que l’inégalité structurelle dans la disponibilité de ces ressources. L’article examine ensuite comment les pratiques particulières utilisées par les collèges et les universités contribuent aux États-Unis à la stratification de la transition entre le lycée et l’université.

Authors: Takenaka Kosuke , Hirayama Hiroyuki , Endo Masashi , Toko Susumu , Uchida Giichiro , Ebe Akinori , Setsuhara Yuichi
Published: June 2023

Thermal desorption spectroscopy using stable isotopes of 18O2 and D2 was employed to investigate the incorporation and behavior of oxygen-based species in a-IGZO films during plasma assisted processing. Specifically, the behavior of oxygen introduced during deposition with an Ar-18O2 plasma was assessed. The data show that the oxygen amount incorporated in these films during deposition was greatly reduced by a post-deposition plasma treatment. The OD radicals introduced into a-IGZO films deposited with Ar-16O2 during a post-treatment with an Ar + D2 + O2 mixture was also examined. The results indicate that −OD groups in the films were strongly bonded to the metal atoms.
Spatial distributions of the ion flux in a capacitive hydrogen RF discharge using a hollow cathode with double toroidal grooves enclosed by magnets
Authors: Ohtsu Yasunori , Hiwatashi Hokuto , Schulze Julian
Published: June 2023

A hydrogen high-density capacitively coupled plasma has been developed using a hollow cathode with double toroidal grooves enclosed by magnets and without an iron yoke disk. It is found that this plasma source allows generating higher plasma densities compared to the conventional RF magnetron plasma sources. Spatial distributions of the ion flux have been measured at various H2 gas pressures, p, of 1–20 Pa. It is found that the hybrid combination of a hollow cathode effect and magnetic confinement of electrons is attained for p ≥ 5 Pa, while for p ≤ 3 Pa, a conventional capacitive discharge is generated. The radial profile of the ion flux becomes uniform with increasing axial distance from the target for the hollow cathode discharge. The characteristic decay length of the roughness of the ion flux profile increases with increasing the gas pressure.

Authors: Yang Chunlai , Li Henian , Tang Ye , Wang Hai , Lu Yimin
Published: June 2023

In recent years, energy harvesting technology has become a promising power supply method for low-power wireless sensor nodes. According to the application requirements of energy acquisition, a piezoelectric and electrostatic hybrid vibration energy harvester (HVEH) is proposed in this paper. Compared with other vibration energy harvesters, the proposed hybrid harvester is easier to miniaturize and integrate into a MEMS. The electromechanical coupling model of the hybrid harvester is established. The optimal design of the proposed harvester is carried out based on numerical simulation. The optimal matching impedance of piezoelectric and electrostatic modules are calculated based on numerical simulation and validated through experiments, which are 80–90 kΩ and 15–20 MΩ, respectively. The output power of the HVEH is increased by 0.04%, 0.08%, 0.102%, and 0.097%, when the excitation acceleration is 0.1 g, 0.15 g, 0.2 g, and 0.25 g, respectively, compared with the single piezoelectric module.
Co-wide-bandgap conformally heteroepitaxial perovskite–monolithic SiC nanowire array with quantum-confined blue luminescence
Authors: Ji Xuan , Liang Tianyuan , Miao Ruonan , Zhu Jiahuan , Xing Jiali , Wang Ziqin , Fan Jiyang
Published: June 2023

SiC is a wide-bandgap semiconductor with excellent mechanical and electrical properties and is a crucial template for epitaxially growing other semiconductors. We report the conformally epitaxial growth of the lead halide perovskites on the red-luminescent monolithic 6H-SiC nanowire arrays. The small lattice mismatch (0.8%) between SiC and CsPbBr3 ensures perfect heteroepitaxial growth of the CsPbBr3 quantum dots and nanosheets over the SiC nanowire arrays. The heteroepitaxial perovskites show intense multiband blue luminescence stemming from the strongly quantum-confined excitons with a twice prolonged lifetime compared with free nanocrystals. These blue-luminescent heteroepitaxial semiconductor–semiconductor nanostructures are promising nanophotonic device units.
Single time pixel imaging enabled by repurposing optoelectronic devices
Authors: Keyaki Ryota , Fukatsu Susumu
Published: June 2023

One-time readout temporal ghost imaging is attempted by utilizing optoelectronic devices that are not originally intended for signal photon detection purposes and as such slow by design. A visible light-emitting diode having a response time τ = 0.036 ms and a solar cell with τ = 3.1 ms are used to retrieve a rectangular pulse train, which is otherwise rounded with significant overlapping, in the image of a temporal mask simply by capturing data once at a selected single time pixel followed by division. Appropriate quality metrics and effective operation duration are discussed.
Applying the most frequent values assisted Hilbert transform into seismic attributes
Authors: Al Marashly Omar , Dobróka Mihály
Published: June 2023

In the present study, we developed a new method to calculate two of the most important seismic attributes that can able to give a huge impact in the interpretation field leading to a better geological and geophysical interpretation of the data. The first attribute was the Reflection Intensity with great improvement in detection of thin layers that show low reflection coefficient and enhance the ability to follow unconformity, the other one is the Instantaneous Phase to discover the discontinuity of events. The new method depends on combining the most frequent values (MFV) with inversion to calculate the Hilbert transform and applying hybrid Seismic Denoising, using also dual inversion and calculated Steiner weight from the iterative reweighted least square method (IRLS). Scaled Hermite function in a series expansion was used to discretize the spectrum of the time trace. The procedure followed with adjusting the process using multi-windows technical on the generated synthetic seismic traces loaded with Gaussian and Cauchy noise at the same time. The result of the method was shown significant effects on outliers or normal Gaussian noise when applied to two seismic attributes better than the old way using the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) method.

Designing an English Syllabus for Architecture Students: Matching Students’ English Skills and Future Jobs
Authors: Murtiningsih Tenny , Amelia Rizky
Published: June 2023

Designing an English Syllabus for architecture students is important to match what they are studying at the university and their future job later. Through the syllabus, lecturers are aware of the mapping between learning outcomes, materials, teaching methods, and assessment and most importantly what students need in the future. English instruction for architecture students is included as English for Specific Purposes. In this circumstance, the lecturers must provide students with the students needs in their field, as outlined in the syllabus. To meet these requirements, the researchers conducted a Research and Development to develop an English Syllabus for Architecture students adapted from Borg and Gall (2003) including (1) needs analysis, (2) writing the product, (3) validating the product, (4) revising the product and (5) final product. Meanwhile, Language Program Development (LPD) by Yalden (1987) is chosen as the model of syllabus development. Thirty three architecture students, three architecture lecturers, and three architecture professional workers as alumni and stakeholder were involved. They were given a questionnaire, an interview, and a validation sheet to collect and triangulate the data. Then, the syllabus was developed, validated, and revised. The results showed that the syllabus of English for Architecture Students has been developed as an integrated syllabus, and it is feasible to use.

This case-study research involves Literal Reading class as the lowest reading comprehension level. It is expected that the learning activities given in the activities meet the needs of reaching the objectives of Literal Reading and match the characteristics of each phase of the Self-regulated learning strategy. Forethought and Planning phase focuses on giving chances to students to get familiar with the materials by observing the learning objectives and plan on what they will do to reach the goals. Monitoring on the Performance phase works on how students can control their learning activities according to their preferences and strategies while allowing them to work with peers or have discussions with the lecturer. Reflection on Performance allows students to review any feedback or new information to plan better strategies in learning. The implications are discussed in the findings.

Authors: Mingcheng Liu
Published: June 2023

Brain microvascular endothelial cells are the basic components of the blood-brain barrier. Many neurological diseases are related to the loss of blood brain barrier (BBB) function. Isolating and culturing primary BMVEC is an important means to study the function and regulation of BBB in vitro. To establish a method for isolation and culture of primary mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs). The 7-10-days mice were sacrificed by neck removal, the cranial cavity was opened, the brain was aseptically removed and the cerebral cortex was retained. To extract brain microvascular segments, the brain underwent three D-Hank solution rinses. It was then homogenized, twice digested by enzyme, and centrifuged using a Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) gradient. For primary culture, the brain microvascular segments were injected into gelatin-coated culture plates using DMED complete media. When the cell density reaches 90 %, the media is removed, and the cells are then given two PBS washes. A new medium was introduced after adding 1ml of the trypsin-EDTA solution to digest for 2–5 minutes for passage. Cell culture plates were rinsed and pre-cooled 95 % ethanol was added for 20 minutes after passaged cells had grown to 80–90 % of their original size. After a third wash, 1 ml of mouse factor VIII antibody was added to the culture wells, where it was left for 4 hours at 37 °C. FITC-labeled rabbit anti-mouse antibody in a volume of 1 mL was added. Under a confocal laser microscope, the plates were examined and taken pictures of. The outcome demonstrates positive expression of the marker factor VIII associated antigen. To create a cell suspension, monolayer-growing microvascular endothelial cells were chosen. 100 L of cell suspension was used to inoculate each well in 96-well plates, and the cells were then grown. On days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, the original medium was removed, and then 180 μL of DMEM and 20 μL of MTT were simultaneously added to each well for a 4-hour culture. After adding dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), each well's absorbance value (A value) was measured at 492 nm. The outcome demonstrates that the growth peak is attained between 6 and 8 days. This method can successfully isolate and culture primary BMECs, which lay a foundation for the study of BMEC in vitro.

Published: June 2023

Blockchain is a promising technology that is quickly gaining traction in the realm of security that is regulated by both governmental and commercial organizations. Donors are unable to know whether their donations are being used effectively due to a complete lack of transparency in donation-related transactions, which has prompted many to stop believing in charities. The immutability, traceability, and reliability properties of blockchain technology make it a viable solution for enhancing efficiency and transparency for charity. This research work is based on the Ethereum Blockchain, the decentralized donation tracking system that will permit transparent accountability, openness, and direct communication with the intended targets. The blockchain network would be made up of well-known, reliable, and esteemed companies.

LINGUISTIC AND LITERARY ANALYSIS OF BUNIN’S SHORT STORY «DARK ALLEYS»
Authors: Miloud M.R.
Published: June 2023

Problem statement. The article is devoted to the linguistic and linguistic-and-literary analysis of the short story «Dark alleys» by I.A. Bunin aiming at mastering the methods of such type of analysis of an art work. The article aims to consider the linguistic structure of the story in terms of vocabulary, translation, word formation, morphology and onomastics. Special attention is paid to the linguistic basis and lexical base of this story. Results. This paper highlights and describes the features of outdated, non-equivalent, borrowed and calque words, which are used to express the historical space of the story «Dark alleys» by I.A. Bunin. The author's means of information coding concerning important historical events are analyzed. It is found out by what language means the author expresses the ideological and emotional sides of his story and linguistically significant information about the language units used to reflect the real character in the story is revealed. Conclusion. Analyzing the short story of I.A. Bunin, we came to the conclusion that the onomastic material of the story plays a specific role: the name of the main character was chosen by the author in honor of the Russian officer — Nikolai Alekseevich Kireev, and the name of Job in parallel to the "unhappiness" of the author for his whim. As a result, we prove that the text of the story cannot be covered with any quick reading. This story was written using the tools of different language sections: vocabulary, word formation, morphology and onomastics. The story should be read carefully, because placing it in the collection «Dark alleys», the author thus emphasizes that he describes not only love, but also history, and not one, but two at once.
