Blockchain Corda-based IoT-Oriented Information-Sharing System for Agricultural Worker Physical Movement Data with Multiple Sensor Unit
Authors: Kawakura Shinji , Shibasaki Ryosuke 
Published: January 2020

In this study, we attempted to develop and implement a blockchain Corda-based record sharing system for traditional agricultural (agri-) researchers, workers, and their managers. Corda differs from other domain and practical blockchain techniques (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) with respect to its main aims and structural features. Corda-based network systems can transmit and share basic data concerning ledgers at banks or other financial societies and can be handled on common web browsers (e.g., Google Chrome or Microsoft Internet Explorer). This study consists of three phases: (1) designing and confirming the validity of the entire system, (2) constructing and tuning various minor system settings (e.g., programs or networking specifications), and (3) conducting experiments in indoor settings using hoe acceleration data obtained from previous research projects. The integrated system performed with an acceptable level of accuracy. However, it was extremely difficult to quantitatively present the accuracy data. We were unable to concretely show the success and error rates for the data transmitting and receiving, nor the examination operation time. We thus present the specific error content. Overall, the main error trends were (1) errors concerning the rather small transaction time-delay, (2) mistakes concerning the transaction data in the system, and (3) broken transaction data in the system. In particular, we could determine the transaction time delay according to the JavaScript operations and features by observing. We present experimental ranges for these time delays and other error types. Noting concerns concerning previous trials, we suggest practical applications of the proposed system. In short, we believe that our results are novel achievements in the fusion of agricultural informatics, statistics, and human dynamics. We believe that combining this data and other kinds of timeline data with blockchain-based technology and multiple sensors will improve not only agri-business and management, but also agri-skill and security.
Assessment of the Effect of Bank of Agriculture Loan on Female Farmers’ Agricultural Production in Ekiti State, Nigeria
Authors: Owoeye Rufus , Toluwase S. O. W. 
Published: January 2020

The study assessed the effect of Bank of Agriculture (BOA) loan on female farmers’ production in Ekiti State, Nigeria. A well-structured questionnaire was used to collect information from respondents in the study area through interview schedule. A multi-staged sampling procedure was used to select respondents for the study. Purposive sampling technique was used to select two (2) out of the three (3) Local Government Areas (LGAs) which BOA branches are established in Ekiti State i.e. Ado Ekiti and Ijero Ekiti. Then, 45 respondents were selected and interviewed, using convenience sampling in each of the LGA selected. In total, sample size of 90 respondents were interviewed for this study. Data collected were subjected to descriptive analysis, i.e. mean, percentage, frequency, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values were used to describe the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents. The result showed that the average age of the respondents was approximately 40 years and majority of the respondents (48.9 percent) had 7-12years of education. Also, 88.9 percent of the respondents had heard about BOA and 32.2 percent had received ₦50,000 or less. Results further showed that 77.8 percent of the respondents experienced increase in production capacity while 58.9 percent of the total respondents experienced better standard of living. Result from Probit regression model showed that ownership of land, awareness of BOA, and past and current credit use had statistically significant effect on loan accessibility. It further showed that marital status, ownership of land, awareness, past and current credit use and collateral had positive effect on loan accessibility. Contrarily, age, educational level, income, membership of association were inversely correlated with loan accessibility. About 69 percent of the respondents were faced with the challenges of need for guarantor, 61.1 percent of the respondents faced with the problem of bureaucracy i.e. unnecessary delay in provision of the loan, while 46.7 percent had challenges due to the location of BOA branches. It is therefore recommended that government should include access to credit in any agricultural development programs in Nigeria, and provide funds to BOA so as to reduce bureaucracy in loan disbursement. Also, Women farmers should be encouraged and educated by extension workers to belong to cooperative associations so as to enjoy benefits emanating from being members of agricultural association

Мультипараметрическая аппаратура контроля эксперимента для вакуумного микроспектроэлектрофореза и термоэлектрофореза как источник данных для спектрохимической биоинформатики
Authors: Адамович Е , Орехов Ф 
Published: January 2020

Термин «вакуумный электрофорез» имеет несколько трактовок, зависящих от области применения. Во-первых, речь идёт о капиллярном электрофорезе на базе мультиплексных вакуумных техник VAMCE (vacuum-assisted multiplexed capillary electrophoresis) и совместимых с капиллярным электрофорезом методов масс- спектрометрии с использованием вакуумированной поверхности раздела сред. Во-вторых, речь идёт о классическом вакуумном блоттинге, используемом как средство более эффективного по сравнению со стандартным блоттингом переноса при анализе нуклеиновых кислот. В-третьих, в медицине под этим понимается метод физиотерапевтического и, реже, интраоперационного и постоперационного воздействия с использованием электрокинетических принципов. Основное распространение в биохимии и молекулярной биологии получил на данный момент вакуумный блоттинг, хотя степень откачки не позволяет говорить о вакуумном характере данного метода в полной мере. Основным приложением вакуумного блоттинга на начальном этапе развития и
основным преимуществом, позволяющим говорить о вакуум-трансфер-техниках в
молекулярной генетике, являлся саузерн-блоттинг, то есть метод переноса ДНК с
агарозного геля на мембранный фильтр для гибридизации. Надо сказать, что
одними из первых, кто использовал данный подход, были советские специалисты, причем, в отличие от поздних зарубежных аналогов ими использовались
не синтетические полиамидные (нейлоновые), а нитроцеллюлозные мембраны. В
настоящее время технологии полностью автономного вакуумного блоттинга в РФ
и СНГ утрачены, то есть не могут быть проведены без импортируемых реагентов
и комплектующих. Ко времени распада СССР, к концу 1980-х – началу 1990-х гг.,
за рубежом сложилась комплексная практика вакуумного блоттинга, совместимая
с гель-электрофорезом. Был накоплен опыт применения вакуумной техники
в нозерн-блоттинге (РНК), в том числе с UV-фиксацией. Сообщалось также о
совместимости вакуум-блоттинга с геномным секвенированием и футпринтингом
in vivo. На рубеже 1980-х – начала 1990-х годов за рубежом начался промышленный
выпуск вакуумных блоттеров. Классическим вакуумным блоттером стал BOEKEL Appligene c встроенным вакуумметром от 0 до 100 мбар,
показанный на илл. 3. Этот аппарат считается «рабочей лошадкой» (английский
жаргонизм, «workhose») и доселе используется на многих практических работах в
англосаксонских и европейских университетах. На его примере можно достаточно
наглядно продемонстрировать принцип метода, отображаемый в виде своего рода
сендвич-структуры: агарозный гель, нейлоновая мембрана, ватман, пористый мат
(все в резиновой рамке). Наличие ватерпаса на панели короба позволяет обеспечивать нормальный градиент распределения. Множество
других компактно-планарных моделей представляет собой упрощенные рамочные
конструкции такого же типа, но без встроенного манометра / вакуумметра.
ON THE DIALECTICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EUROPE AND AFRICA
Authors: PANTEA Ana 
Published: January 2020

The paper explores the dialectical relationship between EU and Africa as it is driven by the relative asymmetric capacities and divergent priorities of the involved parties. Both the European Union and the African Union have enlarged their capabilities and increased their foreign policy ambitions over recent decades. However, the asymmetric relationship persisted. The increased visibility of the EU in the global arena and its normative ambitions meant a change in EU–Africa relations. However, in the last decades, Africa remained mostly undeveloped, and we have witnessed increase in violent conflicts and state fragility, despite decades of stick and carrot institutional measures. This suggested that the existing EU-Africa cooperation formula should be improved. The regional power of the EU (structural power) determines how the EU relates to other actors, including the AU. As such, revisiting the policy cooperation errors of the past, building trust, and investing in academic cooperation are thus essential, through redefining the basis for cooperation between Europe and Africa.
Computed tomographic evaluation of pancreatic perfusion in healthy dogs
Authors: Kloer Timothy B. , Rao Sangeeta , Twedt David C. , Marolf Angela J. 
Published: January 2020

Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the feasibility of contrast-enhanced CT for assessment of pancreatic perfusion in healthy dogs.

ANIMALS
6 healthy purpose-bred female Treeing Walker Coonhounds.

PROCEDURES
Contrast-enhanced CT of the cranial part of the abdomen was performed with 3-mm slice thickness. Postprocessing computer software designed for evaluation of human patients was used to calculate perfusion data for the pancreas and liver by use of 3-mm and reformatted 6-mm slices. Differences in perfusion variables between the pancreas and liver and differences in liver-specific data of interest were evaluated with the Friedman test.

RESULTS
Multiple pancreatic perfusion variables were determined, including perfusion, peak enhancement index, time to peak enhancement, and blood volume. The same variables as well as arterial, portal, and total perfusion and hepatic perfusion index were determined for the liver. Values for 6-mm slices appeared similar to those for 3-mm slices. The liver had significantly greater median perfusion and peak enhancement index, compared with the pancreas.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Measurement of pancreatic perfusion with contrast-enhanced CT was feasible in this group of dogs. Hepatic arterial and pancreatic perfusion values were similar to previously published findings for dogs, but hepatic portal and hepatic total perfusion measurements were not. These discrepancies might have been attributable to physiologic differences between dogs and people and related limitations of the CT software intended for evaluation of human patients. Further research is warranted to assess reliability of perfusion variables and applicability of the method for assessment of canine patients with pancreatic abnormalities.
The Concept of Ontological Security in International Political Discourse
Authors: Khudaykulova A. V. , Neklyudov N. Y. 
Published: January 2020

The article studies “ontological” security concept. In a general sense the term depicts expectations of a state about its stable and predictable relations with counterparts. With the term gaining theoretical sway in constructivism since the 21st century, we argue, that it still lacks instrumental definition with fixed assumptions and variables. The analysis of ontological security is conducted in twofold manner. First, we overview the broad range of interpretations, demonstrate the absence of an instrumental definition of the concept and suggest some parameters of such a definition. Secondly, we study the ways how a state can gain ontological security. Three options of achieving ontological security are being presented: adaptation (assuming the role of ‘another’ from the external environment); change of rules (imposing its own role on the subject with whom the interaction occurs); and the breach of relations. At all these stages, the state tries either to adopt the norms and practices by which it interacts with the environment, or to redefine its position in ongoing relations with counterparties. We conclude by presenting a sought definition of the term and by arguing that the concept enhances the constructivist contribution to the IR theory since it allows to define the logic of states’ behavior in international arena. Thus, states seek to be socialized into an intersubjective reality and to define norms, practices and status through forging common and communicative knowledge with ‘other’. Otherwise, the state’s behavior could be irrational. Theory emphasizes the need to avoid situations of the ontological security dilemma: the state projects its own, mostly protective reality, which, however, does not provide it with ontological security from the counterparty and could potentially push for further escalation of crisis interactions.Authors declare the absence of conflict of interests.
The Fate of General Radko Dimitriev and His Memory in Context of Russian-Bulgarian Relations of the Late 19th – Early 20th centuries
Authors: Gusev N. S. 
Published: January 2020

This article examines the biography of the Bulgarian-born General Radko Dimitriev (1859–1918), who was convinced that the good of his homeland was inextricably linked with Russia and depended on good relations with it. For this good, he went to the overthrow of the monarch, but a decade later due to changes in the vector of Bulgarian policy was able to return home and become a hero. In 1913–1914, R. Dimitriev served as Bulgaria's envoy to Russia and tried to change the negative image of his country. With the outbreak of World War I, he joined the Russian army, and a year later in Bulgaria he was declared a deserter and a traitor. In 1918 he was executed by the Bolsheviks in Pyatigorsk, and in a few decades he became practically a symbol of friendship between the Bulgarian and Russian peoples, which led to retouching the circumstances of his death. The article traces the actions of the General and his motivation. Despite his Bulgarian origin, in 1914 he became nearly the main hero of the war in the Russian public space. The reasons for its popularity were not only in the im-portance of his victories, but also in the fact that R. Dimitriev was called the incarnation of A. V. Suvorov and M. D. Skobelev. The article shows what values, embodiments of which were these popular warlords, were characteristic this Bulgarian general. This is a personal part in the fighting, the care of soldiers, democracy in communication. Modern Russian military also has moved to a new paradigm of command, which, however, worked against their popularity among the soldiers. And at the same time, values of the commander of Suvorov's or Skobelev's types were insolvent in the conditions of revolutionary commotion, and R. Dimitriev lost control of the parts entrusted to it. Because of their gener-osity and love for Russia, he refused to take part in the Civil war that decided his death.The author declares absence of conflict of interest.

Published: January 2020

The study was aimed to determine the influence of the use of student worksheet (LKPD) based on Predict Observe Explain (POE) strategy on student learning outcomes in the light material. This research was an experimental study with the design of experimental quasi using the form of a one-group pretest-posttest. The population of this study was the eighth-grade students of junior high school (SMP). Data analysis techniques were tested with the learning result grouping techniques, N-Gain analysis, hypothesis testing, linear regression tests, t-test paired test and effect size tests. The result of the N-Gain was a value of 0.60 with a moderate N-Gain interpretation. Linear regression test result was obtained a coefficient value of 0.7, with the sig regression value of 0,0. The result of the paired t-test achieved a significance value of 0.0, which indicated that there was a raise prior and following treatment. The result of the effect size test was 0.31 with a medium interpretation. The learning outcomes for psychomotor learners had an average value of 3.52 with excellent interpretation. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the POE strategy-based LKPD was considerably effective to be applied in schools resulting in an increasing effect of the students learning outcomes before and after the treatment of POE-based LKPD.
