Authors: Zamyshliaev A. М. 
Published: December 2019

Aim.The digital transformation of the traffic safety management system in JSC RZD involves top-level integration with the operating processes of all business units in terms of integral assessment of the risk of possible events and achievement of specified indicators. The result will be the merger of the traffic safety management system with the processes of all levels of the company’s management enabled by an integrated intelligent system for managing processes and services whose functionality includes real-time traffic safety management.Methods. The paper uses system analysis of existing approaches and methods of processing of large quantities of structured and unstructered data.Results. The paper examines the development stages of train traffic safety management, as well as automated information and control systems that enable traffic safety management. General trends in the creation of systems for collection and processing of information are analyzed. The applicability of such technologies as Big Data, Data Mining, Data Science as part of advanced control systems is shown. The paper examines the performance of the above technologies by analyzing the effect of various factors on the average daily performance of a locomotive, where, at the first level, such factors as average daily run of a locomotive, average trainload are taken into consideration; at the second level, the focus is on the service speed, locomotive turnover at station, etc.; at the sixth level, the focus is on the type of locomotive, its technical state, etc. It is shown that statistical methods of factor analysis and link analysis combined with such other methods of Data Mining as methods of simulation and prediction, the average daily performance of a locomotive can be planned proactively. The author proposes a procedure of migration towards a digital traffic safety management system that would be based on models of interaction of safety and dependability factors of all railway facilities at all railway levels of hierarchy, as well as in association with other factors that have no direct relation to dependability, yet affect the safety of the transportation process.Conclusions. The primary benefit of migration towards Big Data consists in the development of a dynamic model of traffic safety, the elimination of human factor in control systems. Most importantly, it enables the creation within the Russian Railways company (JSC RZD) of an integrated intelligent process and service management system that enables real-time traffic safety management. An extensive process of development and deployment within the company of the URRAN Single Corporate Platform (SCP) enabled executive decision support as regards risk-based functional dependability and safety of transportation facilities. Thus, the URRAN SCP sets the stage for the digital transformation of the traffic safety management system in JSC RZD.

Authors: Cantin Claudio , Jalil Jorge E. , Bulnes Juan F. , Novoa Ulises , MacNab Paul , Godoy Iván , Córdova Samuel , Gabrielli Luigi , Ocaranza María Paz 
Published: December 2019

Background:
Angiotensin II is a potent activator of the Rho-kinase (ROCK) pathway,
through which it exerts some of its adverse vasoconstrictor effects. Clinical evidence on the effects of
blocking the angiotensin II receptor 1 on ROCK activity in hypertensive patients is scarce.

Objective:
To demonstrate that ROCK activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PMBCs) in patients
with essential hypertension is reduced earlier than previously observed, along with blood pressure
(BP) lowering on treatment with olmesartan.

Methods:
Prospective pilot open study; 17 hypertensive patients were treated with progressive olmesartan
doses starting with 20 mg qd. BP was measured at 3, 6 and 9 weeks after treatment initiation. If
treatment failed to normalize BP after 3 weeks, olmesartan dose was increased to 40 mg qd, and if still
hypertensive after 6 weeks, 12.5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide qd was added. ROCK activity was measured
at baseline and 9 weeks after treatment as myosin phosphatase target subunit 1 phosphorylation
(MYPT1-p/T ratio) in PBMC.

Results:
Mean baseline BP was 162 ± 4.9/101 ± 2.4 mmHg. After 9 weeks of treatment, both systolic
and diastolic BP were reduced by 41 and 22 mmHg, respectively (p<0.05). Mean pretreatment MYPT1-
p/T ratio in PMBCs was significantly reduced by 80% after 9 weeks with olmesartan (p<0.01).

Conclusion:
Normotension achieved after 9 weeks in 82% of the patients treated with olmesartan was
associated with a significant reduction of ROCK activity in PBMC.
TRIPLEPR-MAC: A Triple Queue Priority Based Medium Access Control Protocol for Wireless Sensor Network
Authors: Patel Rinkuben N. , Bhatt Nirav V. 
Published: December 2019

Background:
WSN is a network of smart tiny electromechanical devices named sensors.
Sensors perform various tasks like sensing the environment as per its range, transmitting the
data using transmission units, storing the data in the storage unit and performing an action based
on the captured data. As they are installed in an unfriendly environment, recharging the sensors is
not possible every time which leads to a limited lifetime of the network. To enhance the life of a
sensor network, the network requires energy-efficient protocols. Various energy-efficient MAC
protocols have been developed by the research community, but very few of them are integrated
with the priority-based environment which performs priority-based data transmission. Another
challenge of WSN is that most of the WSN areas are delay-sensitive because it is implemented in
critical fields like military, disaster management, and health monitoring. Energy, delay, and
throughput are major quality factors that affect the sensor network.

Objective:
In this paper, the aim is to design and develop a MAC Protocol for a field like the military where the system requires energy efficiency and priority-based data transmission.

Method:
In the proposed model, a cluster-based network with priority queues is formed that can
achieve higher power efficiency and less delay for sensitive data.

Results:
In this research, the simulation of proposed MAC, TMAC and SMAC is done with different
numbers of nodes, same inter-packet intervals, and variant inter-packet intervals. Based on
the script simulation, result graphs are generated.

Conclusion:
The proposed work achieves greater lifetime compared to TMAC and SMAC using priority-based data transmission.
Performance Analysis of RNC Clustering Protocol in Wireless Sensor Network
Authors: Rawat Piyush , Chauhan Siddhartha 
Published: December 2019

Background and Objective:
The functionalities of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)
are growing in various areas, so to handle the energy consumption of the network in an efficient
manner is a challenging task. The sensor nodes in the WSN are equipped with limited battery
power, therefore there is a need to utilize the sensor power in an efficient way. The clustering of
nodes in the network is one of the ways to handle the limited energy of nodes to enhance the lifetime
of the network for its longer working without failure.

Methods:
The proposed approach is based on forming a cluster of various sensor nodes and then
selecting a sensor as a Cluster Head (CH). The heterogeneous sensor nodes are used in the proposed
approach in which sensors are provided with different energy levels. The selection of an efficient
node as CH can help in enhancing the network's lifetime. The threshold function and random
function are used to select the cluster head among various sensors for selecting the efficient
node as CH. Various performance parameters such as network lifespan, packets transferred to the
Base Station (BS) and energy consumption are used to perform the comparison between the
proposed technique and previous approaches.

Results and Discussion:
To validate the working of the proposed technique, the simulation is performed
in MATLAB simulator. The proposed approach has enhanced the lifetime of the network
as compared to the existing approaches. The proposed algorithm is compared with various existing
techniques to measure its performance and effectiveness. The sensor nodes are randomly deployed
in a 100m*100m area.

Conclusion:
The simulation results showed that the proposed technique had enhanced the lifespan
of the network by utilizing the node’s energy in an efficient manner and reduced the consumption
of energy for better network performance.
Research on Edge Detection of Agricultural Pest and Disease Leaf Image Based on LVQ Neural Network
Authors: Fan Tongke 
Published: December 2019

Background:
Roberts, Sobel, Prewitt and other operators are commonly used in image
edge detection, but because of the complex background of agricultural pests and diseases, the
efficiency of using these operators to detect is not ideal.

Objective:
To improve the accuracy of crop disease image edge detection, the method of using
LVQ neural network to detect crop disease image edge was studied.

Methods:
It is proposed to use LVQ1 neural network to detect the edge of the image. The commonly
used median feature quantity, directional information feature quantity and Krisch operator
direction feature quantity are used as the input signal of LVQ1 neural network for network training.
On the basis of simulation, an image feature vector that solves the image pixel neighborhood
consistency is added, and an algorithm for edge detection using LVQ2 neural network is proposed.
Computer simulations show that the improved algorithm significantly improved the edge
image continuity of the output.

Results:
LVQ2 neural network can complete the edge detection of gray-scale image better, the
output edge image has good continuity, clear contour and keeps most of the original image information.
Compared with the LVQ1 neural network detection results, the edge image detected
by LVQ2 neural network has obvious improvement in the processing of small edge, and the contour
is clearer. It shows that the training method can converge the network better and obtain more
ideal output results.

Conclusion:
The simulation comparison is carried out under the Matlab platform. The results
show that based on the LVQ2 neural network, the four image feature quantities are used as the
input signal detection algorithm, which significantly improved the output edge image continuity,
compared with the traditional Sobel algorithm and LVQ1 nerve. The network is more superior,
robust and generalized.
A Comprehensive Review of Load Balancing Techniques in Cloud Computing and Their Simulation with CloudSim Plus
Authors: Narang Sudha , Goswami Puneet , Jain Anurag 
Published: December 2019

Background:
The field of cloud computing has been evolving for over a decade now.
Load balancing is an important component of cloud computing. Load balancing implies scheduling
of cloudlets (tasks) on virtual machines. Since this is an NP-hard problem, various heuristics for
load balancing have been proposed in the research literature. The heuristics have been categorized,
simulated and benchmarked in various ways; however, the information is scattered across many review
articles.

Objective:
This review aims to bring a broad range of load balancing heuristics found in the research
literature under one umbrella. It includes a comprehensive list of heuristics, a holistic set of
criteria for their classification, and some key performance metrics and simulation tools used for their
benchmarking. An illustration of a fair and comprehensive comparison of heuristics is provided using
CloudSim Plus, a recent and advanced simulation tool.

Method:
The simulations performed with CloudSim Plus employ a generic model of task and machine heterogeneity with Poisson arrival of cloudlets and exponential distribution of cloudlet length to emulate actual cloud-computing scenarios. The simulation results in terms of key performance metrics are used to compare four centralized load balancing heuristics including Join Shortest Queue (JSQ), Join Idle Queue (JIQ), Round Robin and Minimum Completion Time (MCT).

Digestive dysfunction is a common symptom of diabetes. Diabetes can lead to the loss of enteric neurons as well as nerve dysfunction and gastrointestinal complications. There has been no complete report of mienteric nitrergic of small intestines on hyperglycaemia condition, so the purpose of this study was to assess changes of nitrergic neural profile of small intestines on hyperglycemic Wistar strain rats (Rattus norvegicus). Twelve rats were adapted for 3 days, then they were randomly divided into 3 groups namely group I (K-1, as control), group II (K-2), and group III (K-3). Before treatment all rats were fasted for 12 hours, rats K-1 were induced with 1.0 ml of buffer citrate single peritoneal dose; rats K-2 were induced with 40 mg streptozotocin (STZ)/ kg body weight of single peritoneal dose; and rats K-3 were induced with 45 mg STZ /kg body weight of single peritoneal dose. On the 1st and 5th days after STZ induction, blood was collected through the coccigea vein to measure blood glucose levels and weigh the weight. On the day 5th the rats were uthanated with a high dose of ketamine, dissected and taken small intestines (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum) for staining with Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate-diaphorase (NADPH-d). Morphometric changes of nitrergic neurons of the small intestine segments were observed. The results showed that on the 5th day increased blood glucose levels of the K-2 and K-3 groups were significantly higher than K-1 (P <0.01). The weight of three groups did not show any significant improvement difference (P> 0.05). The number of neurons in the duodenum, jejunum and ileum of K-2 group increased higher than that of K-1 and K-3 groups. These results indicate that in hyperglycaemic states, the number of nitrergic neurons increases (K-2 group), and there is a significant decrease in the number of neurons (group K-3) compared with K-1 and K-2 groups (P <0.01). The results of this study concluded, that the STZ induction treatment causes hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia does not affect to the body weight and the number of nitrergic neurons of small intestines in Wistar strain rats (Rattus norvegicus).

Authors: Alves Ana Rodrigues Cavalcanti 
Published: December 2019

Este trabalho visa analisar as práticas de consumo das frações ascensionais das classes populares brasileiras, investigando as condições que possibilitam a alguns membros incorporar novas disposições para o consumo, enquanto outros permanecem com um estilo de vida marcadamente ascético, orientados pelo ethos do trabalho duro. Ancorado numa tradição sociológica que confere grande importância à pesquisa empírica na construção e aperfeiçoamento de conceitos teóricos – a sociologia disposicionalista – e movido por um interesse em aprofundar as análises de caráter quantitativo que apontam uma mudança nos padrões de consumo das classes populares brasileiras, no período recente, este trabalho procedeu a uma pesquisa qualitativa com membros das frações ascensionais das classes populares residentes na periferia do Recife. A análise permite apreender as condições que favorecem a incorporação de novas disposições para o consumo nos meios populares, bem como os ajustes e tensões entre disposições e valores constitutivos de seu ethos de classe, num contexto de mobilidade ascendente.

HIERARQUIA ENTRE GÊNEROS E POLÍTICA PATRIARCAL NO DISCURSO JORNALÍSTICO DA REVISTA TPM
Authors: BORELA Suzanne 
Published: December 2019

Este trabalho analisa o discurso jornalístico da revista Tpm, para compreender como as representações de gênero são abordadas, debatendo a atuação do jornalismo nas discussões sobre gênero e corpo, na perspectiva dos estudos pós-estruturalistas. Para isso, faz uso da desconstrução, proposta por Jacques Derrida, para identificar os conceitos, os binarismos, as hierarquias, os padrões textuais e os paradoxos discursivos. Tpm dá continuidade à tradicional receita usada por publicações femininas brasileiras, que abordam um universo baseado em maternidade, casamento e condições corporais. A revista reproduz e amplifica uma violenta hierarquia entre gêneros, além de reafirmar uma política identitária patriarcal e heteronormativa.
