Ridesharing in the Polish Experience: A Study using Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology
Authors: Cylwik Stefan , Gabryelczyk Renata , Chlebus Marcin 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The main aim of this article is to examine the factors that influence the acceptance of ridesharing technologies in Polish society, including dynamic vanpooling on demand. The study was conducted using the UTAUT 2 model (Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology). We have employed statistical and econometric data analyses such as factor analysis and linear regression using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method. Based on the review of the publications on ridesharing in the context of sharing economy, we have modified the UTAUT 2 model by supplementing it with the trust factor, which is a significant contribution to the development of this theory when applied to the acceptance of ridesharing technologies. Further, the outcomes allowed us to identify the factors that influence people's attitudes in using shared-ride technology (performance expectancy, hedonistic motivation and habit) and the intention to use this technology (effort expectancy, performance expectancy, price value, habit and trust). This study has practical implications as it has helped identify the factors that affect the acceptance of ridesharing technologies in Poland and these factors are significant for the suppliers of these technologies. The findings can certainly become a starting point for further research on other communities and the application of other models of technology.
Virtual reality and imagination - a possible ethical framework based on the thought of Gregory of Nazianzus
Authors: Ježek Václav 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The present article discusses the thoughts of Gregory of Nazianzus in relation to virtual reality especially man-made virtual reality in all its forms. We argue that the benefits of virtual reality, such as freedom, imagination, creativity can be paradoxically curtailed by virtual reality itself, since it is highly subjective and as its medium shows, can be an a priori matrix and prison for the human being. Gregory of Nazianzus, building his theology on a firm basis on substance and contemplation, offers a way out, where one acknowledges everything around us as beneficial and beautiful and therefore free, but this must be based on a firm grounding of truthfulness and guidance offered by an all-encompassing form of Divine love and creativity.
Freedom in the Society of Control: Ethical challenges
Authors: Laniuk Yevhen 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The Society of Control is a philosophical concept developed by Gilles Deleuze in the early 1990s to highlight the transition from Michel Foucault’s Disciplinary Society to a new social constitution of power assisted by digital technologies. The Society of Control is organized around switches, which convert data, and, in this way, exercise power. These switches take data inputs (digitized information about individuals) and transform them into outputs (decisions) based on their pre-programmed instructions. I call these switches “automated decision-making algorithms” (ADMAs) and look at ethical issues that arise from their impact on human freedom. I distinguish between negative and positive aspects of freedom and examine the impact of the ADMAs on both. My main argument is that freedom becomes endangered in this new ecosystem of computerized control, which makes individuals powerless in new and unprecedented ways. Finally, I suggest a few ways to recover freedom, while preserving the economic benefits of the ADMAs.
Forest plantation productivity – soil interactions within Western Forest-Steppe of Ukraine: effects of pH and cations
Authors: Raspopina Svitlana , Debryniuk Yuriy , Hayda Yuriy 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Dark grey podzolized soils on the loess like loams, which are represented in the soil cover within fresh and humidity gradients in the Western Forest Steppe of Ukraine, are characterized by high forest vegetation potential, which ensure the formation of mostly pure and mixed larch and spruce stands with high level of the productivity. Despite the fact that both species are coniferous, their effect on the soil, in particular, on its acid-base indicators (actual and potential forms of acidity, sum of absorbed bases, degree of saturation of bases, content of mobile aluminium), which are important components of soil fertility, are specific. Due to the fact that there is a close interaction between forest plantations and soil properties, changing the participation of species in the stand, it is possible to adjust the actual soil fertility.
The soils under both pure and mixed spruce and larch stands are characterized by a high level of potential acidity that reaches the high acidic values in the upper horizons. A similar reaction of soil solution under coniferous forests is caused by acid hydrolysis of aluminosilicates and accumulation of mobile Al in the rhizosphere zone. Simultaneously, the same acidic characteristics, including the presence of movable aluminium, are also found in soils under broadleaved plantations. In general, acid-exchange properties of soils (high potential acidity, unsaturation of bases and availability of movable aluminium) traditionally are considered as unfavourable for vegetation. However, our researches refute it and prove that within certain values, these indicators do not limit the productivity of pure and mixed spruce and larch stands.

Authors: Karlsen A. , Vojtek B. , Mojžišová J. , Prokeš M. , Drážovská M. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Anaplasmosis is a vector-borne, infectious and non-contagious disease. The disease is caused by various pathogens of the genus Anaplasma. The different species cause different types of anaplasmosis depending on which cells that are infected in the mammalian host. Anaplasmosis has a wide host range, including humans, and it is distributed worldwide. The zoonotic potential of some species is of great importance in regards to public health concerns. This review presents information about anaplasmosis in animals and its prevalence in Europe, and other countries in the world.
Gestalt and Movement between Music and Dance
Authors: Cattaruzza Serena , Coppola Walter 
Published: December 2020

Summary
The famous essay by Christian von Ehrenfels, Über Gestaltqualitäten (1890), opens up, as is well-known, an important seam not only in the psychology of perception but also of aesthetics, of the psychology and philosophy of music, art and language. Here, in fact, the form understood as ‘Gestalt’ is something concretely audible and visible and not simply a formal abstraction. It is about a pioneering programme rich in ideas and original connections. The author does not mean simply to define the meaning of the concept of Gestalt, but he also sets out a fertile variety of extraordinary applications. In the first place – following a suggestion of Ernst Mach’s – he indicates an application in the field of music, in particular in the exemplary case of melody. In this sense the melody, as a temporal Gestalt, is a more fitting illustration of Gestalt than a spatial Gestalt (e.g. of a geometric figure). But in other cases, as for instance in the case of perception of movement, both temporal and spatial Gestalts are admitted. And a characteristic example is provided by dance. In this article, we shall investigate the comparison between sound movement and visual–gestural movement, and we shall also be discussing the matter by having recourse to the experience of professional dancers.
Consequences of immigrating during a recession: Evidence from the US Refugee Resettlement program
Authors: Mask Joshua 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Are there long-term labor consequences in migrating to the US during a recession? For most immigrants, credibly estimating this effect is difficult because of selective migration. Some immigrants may not move if economic conditions are not favorable. However, identification is possible for refugees as their arrival dates are exogenously determined through the US Refugee Resettlement program. A one percentage point increase in the arrival national unemployment rate reduces refugee wages by 1.98% and employment probability by 1.57 percentage points after 5 years.

Authors: Michołap Paweł , Cierpisz Marcin , Sikora Aneta , Sikora Marcin 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
The research enabled the optimal parameters of reed stalks Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud, to be determined and then be used for rearing red mason bees (Osmia rufa L.). During research conducted in 2015 and 2016, 3,293 reed stalks were occupied by red mason bees, and 19,461 nest cells were counted in the stalks, of which there were 16,222 non-parasitized larvae. The mean weight of one cocoon was 0.085 g. The mean length of the reed stalk occupied by the red mason bee was 169.45 mm, its mean diameter was 6.11 mm and the mean number of cells in the reed was 5.47. The mean length of the first cell, the vestibulum, was 38.38 mm. The mean degree of parasitism was 0.16. The length of the reed stalk positively correlated with the number of cells in the reed nest (r=0.543), vestibulum length (r=0.392) and cocoon mass (r=0.362) The diameter of the reed positively correlated with the mass of the cocoon (r=0.536), the number of cells in the reed (r=0.406) and vestibulum length (r=0.254). Correlation between degree of parasitatism and length, and diameter of the reed was insignificant. Reed stalks with a length of 150 to 200 mm and a diameter of 5–7 mm are recommended for the choice of red mason bee nesting material.
“Obey My Will Or Suffer”:1 Violence Against Women in Icelandic Folk Legends
Authors: Jónsdóttir Dagrún Ósk 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
This article* will look at how domestic and sexual violence against women is presented in the Icelandic folk legend collections from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Gender-based violence is a subject relatively absent in Icelandic legend collections which were mostly told, collected and published by men (the exception being the collection of Torfhildur Þorsteinssdóttir Hólm). Violence plays a role in the subordination of women, and there is good reason to consider how violence against women is portrayed in the oral legends of the past. I will among other things consider the effect these particular legends might have had on those who heard them and examine the roles of the legends in maintaining and shaping a discourse which in many cases may well have attempted to normalise this violence.
Rated Power Determination for Autonomous Micro Combined Heat and Power and Rechargeable Battery System
Authors: Fedotov A. , Vagapov G. , Grackova L. , Abdullazyanov R. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
An autonomous micro combined heat and power (Micro-CHP) is usually installed to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy costs in areas remote from large power systems. The main goal of autonomous Micro-CHP is to provide residential and industrial areas with electricity and heat. By designing an autonomous Micro-CHP, one of the key issues is the determination of rated power, since the energy efficiency of equipment and the costs of fossil fuels depend on the rated power. The mathematical model can better calculate the necessary rated power for an autonomous Micro-CHP in the case of operation with rechargeable batteries. Overall, the results have shown that the engine characteristics, operation process of three-phase synchronous generator and statistical information on loads are the criteria for improving energy efficiency.

Variation in the diet and breeding biology of the Common Barn-owl (Tyto alba) in a demographic cycle of Common Vole (Microtus arvalis) between two outbreaks×
Authors: Horváth Adrienn , Bank László , Horváth Győző F. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
In the present study, we analysed the variation of breeding parameters and the diet composition of the Common Barn-owl (Tyto alba) in three different demographic phases of the Common Vole (Microtus arvalis) in a complete population cycle between two outbreaks. The study was conducted in the south-eastern part of the Transdanubian region in South Hungary. For the analysis, we used data of 81 randomly selected first clutches from 2015 to 2019, a time period which represented a full demographic cycle of the Common Vole after the 2014 outbreak with an exceptionally high peak. We tested the impact of prey abundance and diversity of diet composition as continuous predictors as well as the demographic phase of Common Vole and the mesoregion as categorical explanatory variables on the measured reproductive outputs as response variables using Generalized Linear Models (GLM). Considering the breeding parameters, the number of fledglings, and fledging and reproductive success were significantly higher in the increase phase than during the vole crash phase. Based on GLM models, our results demonstrated that the clutch size of the Common Barn-owl is determined ultimately by the availability and consumption rate of the Common Vole as main prey, while other small mammal prey categories did not affect the clutch size. These results support the finding that the clutch size of vole-eating raptors and owls, which begin breeding periods in early spring predicts the vole abundance in this early spring period. Considering the other investigated small mammal prey groups, the alternative prey role was confirmed only in case of the Murid rodent prey categories (Apodemus spp., Muridae).
Cities Towards Migrants. Case Study of Local Integration Policies of Gdańsk and Wrocław
Authors: Matusz Patrycja 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
In migration research, one can observe a turn towards locality and interest in the role of municipal authorities in multi-level migration governance. Migration governance can be defined as set of legislation and regulatory measures, as well as actions developed and implemented by public and private actors, at transnational, national and local levels. Integration strategies include long-term programs, as well as short-term and ad hoc activities. Migration and growing diversity in cities bring both challenges and opportunities for the local authorities. The local responses to the settlement of migrants should not be underestimated because of the focus on integration, this can build upon a common sense of belonging. This paper analyses the institutionalization of local integration strategies in two Polish cities: Gdańsk and Wrocław. The goal is to analyse the relations of diverse actors in a multi-level governance context. It looks at the aims of the strategies, tools, target groups and the definition of integration.
Characterisation of Electrochemical Sensor-Array for Utilisation in Construction of BOD Bioelectronic Tongue
Authors: Pitman Kätlin , Nerut Jaak , Raud Merlin , Kikas Timo 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
There is need to rapidly measure biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) to estimate organic pollution in wastewater. Biosensors are able to estimate BOD values within 5–30 minutes, but they have some limitations that can be overcome with biosensor-array. This work used sensor-array, which consists of 8 × 3 electrodes. The working electrode was inner Pt circle electrode, counter electrode was a Pt band electrode and the reference electrode was a silver wire. The potentiostat was used to record cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. The pumping speed was set at 1.5 cm3 min−1 or higher, to avoid the interference. Next, sensor-array was tested to measure different oxygen amounts and calibrated accordingly. Lastly, Pseudomonas putida membranes were calibrated and used to estimate BOD value. The calibration gave linear range up to 85 mg L−1 of BOD and sensitivity from 0.0018 to 0.0068. Real industrial wastewater, from lignocellulosic bioethanol production, was used to test the biosensor-array. It underestimated BOD values from 8 to 37 %. This biosensor-array allows to measure BOD value in less than 15 minutes.
Fish Processing Efficiency Ranking
Authors: Indzere Zane , Blumberga Dagnija 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Fish as food has been widely used, and as its consumption is increasing, the efficiency of fish production companies needs to be increased as well. Fish production may consist of many processes, depending on the type of fish products they produce. Based on this, the increase in the efficiency of the whole company could be expensive, especially for small size companies, whose revenues per year are rather small. Therefore, to evaluate and understand which part of the company is the least efficient and needs to be improved first to have the highest increase in the efficiency of the company, the decision making method needs to be used for the evaluation. In this research, the method MULTIMOORA was chosen to evaluate the specific company’s production efficiency. The results have shown that fish preliminary processing is the least efficient process for the chosen case study. Recommendations for improvement the efficiency of the least efficient stage have been developed, therefore improving the efficiency for the whole company.
The Arts Of The Performance – Beyond The Limits
Authors: Bilic Laura 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Drama writings and theatre performances have always been, in my opinion, the mirror in which our society reflects itself. If in the decades before the 90s our society witnessed a total or quasi-total lack of freedom and a lack of voices to be heard in theatres, in the 90s we have all been witnesses to an absolute freedom that has been constantly managed chaotically. Immediately after The Revolution, the long lost freedom has soon become confusing and has turned into a heavy tormenting issue. The new drama writing and theatre performance have needed more than 10 years to change into something new. The independent theatres and the new drama have arisen as a reaction to the crisis that our theatres underwent in the 90s. The new artist of the new millennium is often self-taught, he has to improve his organizational abilities, to think big when it comes to new projects, to see the bigger picture and not to remain stranded into his own piece of art.

Authors: Fustes Otto Hernandez , Kay Cláudia Suemi Kamoi , Lorenzoni Paulo José , Ducci Renata Dal-Prá , Werneck Lineu Cesar , Scola Rosana Herminia 
Published: December 2020

Background:
Hirayama’s disease (HD) is characterized by an insidious onset asymmetric weakness and atrophy of the forearm and hand. Taking as a premise, the etiopathogenesis of the disease is attributed to forward displacement of posterior wall of lower cervical dural canal in neck flexion causing marked compression and flattening of lower spinal cord. This may result in compression of the posterior column of the spinal cord and seems likely to result in somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) abnormalities. In the present study, we studied the possible involvement of the lemniscal dorsal pathway in patients with HD.

Methods:
SSEPs in upper and lower extremities were prospectively performed in eight patients with HD. All the patients were recruited from the outpatient clinic of a neuromuscular disorder center from South Brazil. SSEPs were obtained by transcutaneous electrical stimulation of the median and posterior tibial nerves, on both sides. We collected the amplitude and the latency of the different components obtained in each channel. The interpretation was based on Brazilian study standards.

Results:
We evaluated seven men and one woman (mean age 27). The data obtained were compared to a control group consisting of eight patients with spondylotic cervical myelopathy, 6 men and 2 women with mean age of 59 years. The measurements of obtained by the SSEP were also compared between the groups and no significant difference was found for any of them.

Conclusion:
SSEP did not turn out to be an electrophysiological marker in our HD patients.

Authors: Stellari Franco , Song Peilin , Weger Alan J. , Xia Tian 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Light Emission due to Off-State Leakage Current (LEOSLC) is used in combination with the Picosecond Imaging Circuit Analysis (PICA) method to effectively diagnose and localize defects in a broken scan chain. As usual, the emission base method shows to be very effective in debugging the problem; the defect is successfully identified by the optical technique and confirmed by Physical Failure Analysis (PFA).
Blind Deconvolution of SEM Images
Authors: Vanderlinde William E. , Caron James N. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Blind deconvolution techniques were used to enhance scanning electron microscope (SEM) images in the range of 200,000x to 500,000x magnification. Typical SEM samples were imaged including a gold island reference standard, a plasma delayered integrated circuit, and an integrated circuit cross section. Image resolution improvement up to 40% was observed. However, it was necessary to use 16-bit TIFF images with greater than 120:1 signal to noise ratio, which required 10 minute frame times.
OBIC Measurements without Lasers or Raster-Scanning Based on Compressive Sensing
Authors: Sun Ting , Woods Gary L. , Duarte Marco F. , Kelly Kevin , Li Chengbo , Zhang Yin 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Laser-based failure-analysis techniques such as optical beam-induced current (OBIC) or optical beam-induced resistance change (OBIRCH) involve scanning a focused laser beam across a sample by means of a laser scanning microscope (LSM). In this paper, we demonstrate a new method of obtaining OBIC data without requiring a laser or an LSM. Instead, we employ new techniques from the field of compressive sensing (CS). We use an incoherent light source and a spatial light modulator in an image plane of the device under test, supplying a series of pseudo-random on/off illumination patterns (structured illumination) and recording the resulting electrical (photocurrent) signals from the device. Advanced algorithms allow us to reconstruct the signal for the entire die. We present results from OBIC measurements on a discrete transistor and discuss extensions of CS techniques to OBIRCH. We also demonstrate static emission images obtained using CS techniques in which the incoherent light source is replaced with a single-element infrared photon detector so that no detector array is required.
Laser Voltage Imaging: A New Perspective of Laser Voltage Probing

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Laser Voltage Imaging (LVI) is a new application developed from Laser Voltage Probing (LVP). Most LVP applications have focused on design debug or design characterization, and are seldom used for global functional failure analysis. LVI enables the failure analysis engineer to utilize laser probing techniques in the failure analysis realm. In this paper, we present LVI as an emerging FA technique. We will discuss setting up an LVI acquisition and present its current challenges. Finally, we will present an LVI application in the form of a case study.
