Consideration of issues and countermeasures to acquire core human resources through vocational education to improve local information security in Japan
Authors: Okubo H 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
In Japan, information security specialists are concentrated in urban areas, and there is a shortage of these specialists in other regions. The goal of this paper is to propose a concrete vocational education system for adults who will increase the number of cyber security personnel in local areas. It was hypothesized that in order to increase information security personnel in local areas, and it would be effective to re-employ retired self-defense officers with information security skills as information security managers for local governments through vocational education. It was examined previous cases to verify the hypothesis. At first, in order to prove that the information security field has an advantage in re-employment for retired self-defense officers, I investigated the status of ecosystems where US veterans are re-employed as information security employees in private company. Next, in order to prove that the vocational education for the retired self-defense officers is effective, I investigated the case of re-employment in local government disaster prevention relations as a precedent example of the retirement self-defense officers re-employed through the vocational education. Based on the aforementioned situation, measures are proposed to utilize retired self-defense officers with information security skills as information security managers for local governments through vocational education. Implementing appropriate vocational education for re-employment of these officers in the information security field could be potentially effective in reducing the shortage of human resources in this field in local governments and increase the level of information security in local areas.

Optimal control of plant root tip dynamics in soil
Authors: Tedone Fabio , Del Dottore Emanuela , Palladino Michele , Mazzolai Barbara , Marcati Pierangelo 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
This paper aims to propose a novel approach to model the dynamics of objects that move within the soil, e.g. plants roots. One can assume that external forces are significant only at the tip of the roots, where the plant’s growth is actuated. We formulate an optimal control problem that minimises the energy spent by a growing root subject to physical constraints imposed by the surrounding soil at the tip. We study the motion strategy adopted by plant roots to facilitate penetration into the soil, which we hypothesize to be a circumnutation movement. By solving the proposed optimal control problem numerically, we validate the hypothesis that plant roots adopt a circumnutation motion pattern to reduce soil penetration resistance during growth. The proposed formalisation could be applied to replicate such a biological behaviour in robotic systems, to adopt the most efficient strategy for autonomous devices in soil exploration.
Climate change mitigation in cities: a systematic scoping of case studies
Authors: Sethi Mahendra , Lamb William , Minx Jan , Creutzig Felix 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
A growing number of researchers and stakeholders have started to address climate change from the bottom up: by devising scientific models, climate plans, low-carbon strategies and development policies with climate co-benefits. Little is known about the comparative characteristics of these interventions, including their relative efficacy, potentials and emissions reductions. A more systematic understanding is required to delineate the urban mitigation space and inform decision-making. Here, we utilize bibliometric methods and machine learning to meta-analyze 5635 urban case studies of climate change mitigation. We identify 867 studies that explicitly consider technological or policy instruments, and categorize these studies according to policy type, sector, abatement potential, and socio-technological composition to obtain a first heuristic of what is their pattern. Overall, we find 41 different urban solutions with an average GHG abatement potential ranging from 5.2% to 105%, most of them clustering in the building and transport sectors. More than three-fourth of the solutions are on demand side. Less than 10% of all studies were ex-post policy evaluations. Our results demonstrate that technology-oriented interventions in urban waste, transport and energy sectors have the highest marginal abatement potential, while system-wide interventions, e.g. urban form related measures have lower marginal abatement potential but wider scope. We also demonstrate that integrating measures across urban sectors realizes synergies in GHG emission reductions. Our results reveal a rich evidence of techno-policy choices that together enlarge the urban solutions space and augment actions currently considered in global assessments of climate mitigation.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
The article deals with a formalized model of the efficiency forecast based on the analysis of different models of the efficiency forecast and the implementation time of intelligent systems. This model is associated with mathematical counting of the future value of the process. This model is based on the representation of renewal and modernization in the form of a stochastic process. The mathematically-oriented understanding of this process is based on the sum of random variables, the result of which reflects the occurrence of events that lead to the failure of the implementation time of intelligent systems and the failures during modernization.

Abstract
The development of the construction industry should be based on resource and energy-saving principles. The energy efficiency issue is being discussed at various levels, including the government one. The issue of energy saving technologies and structures is crucial for the construction industry, as they can reduce the amount of energy consumed and save money. One of the main components of the energy efficiency of buildings is thermal protection. In the construction industry, one of the simplest and most rational ways to save energy is to reduce heat losses through the building envelopes. One of the options for increasing the energy efficiency of building envelopes is effective heaters. It is difficult to choose materials and structural designs of supporting structures since they determine all other structural elements of the building. For Russia whose regions are located outside the climate control zone, energy efficiency issues are crucial. Currently, energy conservation is one of the government priorities. This is due to the shortage of basic energy resources, increasing energy production costs and global environmental problems.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
One of the ways to protect natural territories is the obligation authority to carry out prosecutorial supervision over the implementation of environmental legislation which directly establishes the obligation of individual entities to exercise this type of control. However, this obligation is not duly enforced. It creates a situation where on the one hand, there are positive goals of the state in the field of environmental protection, on the other hand, the positive desire of the nature user to comply with the law, and it leads to a negative result. The issue to enforce the law in the field of environmental control has remained relevant for a long time, and each stage of reforming environmental legislation increase its importance. The article describes the subject, object, tasks and purpose of prosecutorial supervision over the implementation of laws in the field of environmental safety and environmental management. So, the subject of prosecutorial supervision is the activity of prosecutors aimed at regulating public relations in implementing the law. The article classifies the subjects of prosecutorial supervision over the implementation of legislation on the specially protected natural territories as supervised and non-supervised. The purpose of prosecutorial supervision over the implementation of legislation on specially protected natural territories is to ensure the rule of law in the field of environmental safety and environmental management of specially protected natural territories. The authors divided the tasks of prosecutorial supervision in this area into general, special and private. The paper assesses the problems influencing the effectiveness of prosecutorial supervision over the implementation of legislation on specially protected natural territories, which include: the imperfection of the legislative framework; inefficiency in management, control and cadastral registration of such territories; contradictions arising from the interaction and coordination of bodies that manage, protect and control specially protected natural territories with prosecution authorities. The authors offer recommendations aimed at improving the efficiency of prosecutorial supervision over the implementation of legislation on specially protected natural territories.
Mathematical model for assessing environmental risk
Authors: Sukhorukova I V , Chistyakova N A 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThe article considers the urgent problem of assessing environmental risks. The problem of environmental protection is now becoming global. This is primarily due to the growth of industrial production and large-scale mining. To quantify damage, the concept of environmental insurance is introduced. This means that generally accepted insurance risks are directly applied in the field of environmental protection. In addition to the general formula for a comprehensive risk assessment to predict harmful environmental impacts, it would be natural to take into account the results of these impacts over time. In this study, the authors proposed more detailed mathematical models of risk factors. We got a calculated and analytical expression in which the probability of an insured event by risk factors varies with time. Examples of models for predicting harmful effects in the environment are given. In solving this problem, probabilistic mathematical models were used. The proposed methods and tools allow taking into account possible environmental risk factors at all stages of decision-making. This will allow in practice to avoid the occurrence of adverse economic consequences in the implementation of economic activity. This contributes to the prospects of implementing business strategies for integrating environmental requirements into their activities.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
The conditions of the modern labor market in the construction sector, the new technology in the construction industry, changes due to scientific and technological progress and the implementation of modern information technologies require special training of mid-career professionals. The society needs graduates who are ready to independent inclusion in production processes, who are able to solve life and professional tasks that they come across. It is necessary to update the content-technological support for the formation of professional competencies of future builders to a higher level because of the transition to competence-oriented training in the system of secondary vocational school. The authors have developed a model of professional competencies development to improve the training of builders within the framework of secondary vocational schools. The model can be realised in any construction college taking into account current requirements of Russian employers and the All-Russian Intersectoral Association of Employers “Russian Union of Builders” to the level of professional knowledge of a modern graduate of secondary vocational schools and training features of modern builders.

Effects of β grain-growth behaviors on lamellar structural evolution and mechanical properties of TC4–DT alloy
Authors: Dong Entao , Yu Wei , Cai Qingwu , Cheng Lei , Gong Gaoxiang 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Grain-growth behaviors of TC4–DT alloy in a narrow temperature range (990 °C−1050 °C) were systematically investigated, and the effects of which on the lamellar structural evolution and mechanical properties were quantitatively evaluated. Microstructural observations indicated that prior β grain size increased with an increase in heat-treatment temperature and time, which was described by the modified Sellars model. The grain-growth exponent (n = 2.741) and activation energy (Q = 161.0 kJ mol−1) during β treatment were confirmed. The α colony size similar to β grain varied significantly with the heat-treatment conditions, while α plate thickness changed slightly. The Hall–Petch equation could qualitatively exhibit the relationships between the lamellar microstructure parameters (prior β grain size, α colony size, and α plate thickness) and mechanical properties (strength, ductility, and impact toughness). The fine prior β grain that contained different orientated α colonies produced more boundaries to hinder dislocation motion and crack propagation, which contributed a more circuitous crack growth path. The results indicated that the control of α colony size was critical to improve the mechanical performance of TC4–DT alloy.
Enhanced thermal conductivity for traditional epoxy packaging composites by constructing hybrid conductive network
Authors: Gao Cong , Shen Yucai , Wang Tingwei 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
A cost-efficient and practical strategy was developed for preparing high thermal conductive epoxy packaging composites. The effective conductive network was constructed by the bridging effect between boron nitride (BN) and spherical silica (SiO2). Compared to the epoxy (EP) composites with randomly dispersed BN and SiO2, the EP/SiO2@BN showed a great enhancement in thermal conduction. The thermal conductivity of EP/SiO2@BN reached to 0.86 W m−1 K−1 with 60 wt% content of hybrid filler, which was 91% higher than that of EP/SiO2 samples and was around 12% higher than that of epoxy composites with unmodified BN and SiO2. In addition, the EP/SiO2@BN exhibited lower thermal interface resistance in comparison with EP/SiO2&BN composites according to the effective medium theory (EMT). The encapsulation of BN on the surface of SiO2 greatly enhanced the thermal transfer efficiency of the epoxy matrix and showed great potential in the epoxy packaging practical application.
