Published: December 2021

Abstract
IoT smart devices are a confluence of microprocessors, sensors, power source and transceiver modules to effectively sense, communicate and transfer data. Energy efficiency is a key governing value of the network performance of smart devices in distributed IoT networks.Low and discrete power and limited amount of memory and finite amount of resources form some major bottlenecks in the workflow.Dynamic load balancing, reliability and flexibility are heavily relied upon by cloud computing for its accessibility.Resources are dynamically provided to the end client in an as-come on-demand fashion with the global network that is the Internet. Proportionally the need for services is increasing at a rate that is astonishing compared to any other forms of development. Load balancing seems a major challenge faced due to the architecture and the modular nature of our cloud environment. Loads need to be distributed dynamically to all the nodes. In this paper, we have introduced a technique that combines fuzzy logic with various nature inspired algorithms - grey wolf algorithm and firefly algorithm in order to effectively balance the load in a network of IoT devices. The performances of various nature inspired algorithms are compared with a brute force approach on the basis of energy efficiency, network lifetime maximization, node failure rate and packet delivery ratio.

Published: December 2021

Abstract
To detect chemicals, we proposed a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with hexagonal cladding and a hexahedron core (THz). Circular air holes (CAHs) in the vestibule provide the basis of the suggested sensor. To develop and evaluate our suggested hexahedron PCF sensor, we employed the finite element (FEM) technique and perfectly matched layers (PML), which utilized the optical parameters numerically. Here, 92.65%, 95.25%, and 90.70% are relatively sensitive, and confining losses are low. the value 5.40×10− 08, 6.70×10− 08 dB/m, and 5.75×10− 08 dB/m for three chemicals such as Ethanol (n = 1.354), Benzene (n = 1.366) and Water (n = 1.330) and effective material loss (EML) of 0.00694 cm− 1. The suggested Hx-PCF sensor has been successfully tested at 1 THz. We are certain that the suggested sensor's optimal geometric structure can be manufactured and that it can contribute to real-world applications in biomedicine and industry. In terahertz areas, our suggested PCF fiber is also suited for a wide range of medical signals and applications (THz).

Published: December 2021

A comparative comprehensive analysis of the socio-pedagogical problem field of modernization of the educational system of Ukraine and the EU in the context of administrative reform and taking into account economic needs and the establishment of universal democratic values has been conducted. A comparative pedagogical study of the theoretical, organizational, methodological and regulatory principles of reforming the educational system of Ukraine, which is currently acquiring national features and integrated into the world educational space, has been carried out. Conceptual principles of reforming the educational system of Ukraine as a basis for improving the quality of life of citizens from the standpoint of an innovative educational project in the context and professional psychological and pedagogical aspects of training in the field of educational policy have been theoretically substantiated. The provision is that education, like other institutions of public life, requires operational and strategic management actions, aimed at its modernization and renewal. A conceptual integral dynamic model of reforming educational policy in Ukraine with substantiation of methodological approaches and theoretical positions has been developed on the basis of comparative pedagogical research. A necessity of expansion and qualitative improvement of the network of preschool educational institutions has been proved. There are trends that Ukrainian secondary education will eventually become on a par with the world standards of secondary school. A need to create and coordinate a strong system of out-of-school education in Ukraine has been justified, as the mass unemployment of children and youth in out-of-school time entails huge negative consequences. Peculiarities of reforming the system of training of working professions and vocational education in Ukraine have been specified. A strategic issue is the state policy on teacher training. Ukrainian origins of the phenomenon of pedagogical skill as a fundamental basis of the theory and practice of educational policy to improve the quality of teaching and learning in EU countries have been revealed. A necessity of development of a target program of professional and pedagogical selection and preparation of experts in the field of educational policy for Ukraine and an algorithm of estimation of its efficiency on the basis of the comparative analysis has been proved. The content of the concept of "educational policy" has been clarified, knowledge of the regulatory framework for reforming educational policy in the EU has been deepened.

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is a new crop for soil and climatic conditions of Ukraine, the active implementation of which is hindered by the lack of recommendations on technological aspects of cultivation. One of the important technological measures for growing sweet potatoes is the use of soil mulching, which improves the water regime and regulates the thermal regime of the soil; prevention of weed growth and growth of sweet potato shoots to the soil. Thus, the aim of the research is to determine the efficiency of growing sweet potatoes in the Forest-Steppe of Ukraine by different methods of soil mulching.
Field research was carried out on typical low-humus light loamy chernozem on loess loam.
It was noted, that when growing sweet potatoes on ridges, the introduction of mulching the soil with black polyethylene film provides more active growth of the vegetative mass throughout the growing season (5.33 shoots/plant with a total length of 252.1 cm), while growing without ridges has a positive effect on plants growth due to the general absence of mulch (2.53 shoots/plant with a total length of 107.8 cm).
The use of ridges and mulching the soil with black polyethylene film causes the yield of sweet potato tubers at 34.8 t/ha, while the mulching of the soil with straw, the yield was 18.3–21.9 t/ha, without mulching – 13.0–17, 1 t/ha. Mulching with black polyethylene film ensures the accumulation of vitamin C and starch in sweet potato tubers. When growing the culture on ridges by this method of mulching, the maximum level of vitamin C according to the experiment (4.78 mg/100 g) and starch (11.73 %) was noted.
The introduction of mulching and ridge formation involves additional material and labor costs, but helps to reduce weed control and tuber digging costs. When growing sweet potatoes on ridges with mulching with black polyethylene film, the minimum additional labor costs for the formation of a unit of yield (1.95 man-minutes/kg of tubers) were noted, while without mulching and without ridges this figure was 6.76 man-minute/kg
Comprehensive study of selection-value lines of zucchini on the level of damage by the yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) and manifestation of other diseases

Published: December 2021

The work is aimed at the selection of linear samples of zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L. var. Giromontia Duch.) with increased complex resistance to abiotic factors of cultivation – zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), powdery mildew, bacteriosis and other viral pathogens. Selection studies on choosing virus-resistant zucchini lines from the United Kingdom, Italy, the United States and Spain have identified a number of important correlations levels of resistance to ZYMV and to harmful microorganisms and viruses, belonging to other genera. The assessment of the resistance of the selected zucchini lines to the complex of studied diseases was performed on a 9-point scale of the classifier of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA). In total, during 2017–2019, 20 lines of zucchini were studied in the field. According to the complex resistance to all pathogens (zucchini yellow mosaic virus, green speckled mosaic, white mosaic and cucumber mosaic, bacteriosis and fusarium wilt), four lines have been identified – LZ 17-11, RVL-19, LZ 17-45 and LZ 17-49, which were resistant at the level of points 7 and 9 on the scale of CMEA. The possibility of selecting potentially resistant linear zucchini genotypes for ZYMV based on correlations with the manifestation of other diseases that occurred in the field has been confirmed. The highest level of correlation 0.59<rp<1.0) is observed when comparing the degree of powdery mildew development and symptoms of ZYMV (17 statistically confirmed values of the pairwise correlation coefficient or 80.95 %). A similar indicator for the pair “bacteriosis/ZYMV” is 14 statistically confirmed values of the pairwise correlation coefficient or 66.67 % (–1.0<rp<0.99), and for the pair “field viruses of other origin/ZYMV” – 11 values, which is 52.38 % (–1.0<rp<0.93). Zucchini samples were identified, in which statistically significant correlations were observed for all pairs of comparative traits. Among them, the variety-standard Chaklun and 4 more lines – LZ 17-1, LZ 17-8, LZ 17-50 and LZ 17-44 (–1.0<rp<0.92). The analysis of correlations shows a complex genetic organization of signs of resistance in zucchini lines to the studied pathogens and a high dependence of the manifestation of these signs on the response of the genotype of the line. One of the proofs of this experimental fact is that in all comparative pairs of indicators of the degree of development of certain diseases there are linear genotypes with both positive and negative values of Pearson correlation coefficients (rp). The high level of statistically significant correlations revealed gives grounds for wide use of correlation analysis in selection work for choosing lines potentially resistant to the complex of the most common diseases in vegetable agrocenoses

Authors: Khomenko Lida 
Published: December 2021

The goal until the last day was to create a new sort with high indicators of productivity, adaptability and quality of grain on the basis of the directed selection process and comprehensive study of hybrid material on field and laboratory estimations.
Creation of initial material with high productivity, adaptability and grain quality by directed selection and hybrid material comprehensive study is described. General scientific, special genetic, field, laboratory methods, morphological analysis and statistical methods were used in the research. Given that the weight of grain from 1 ear is a marker in breeding for high yield (r=0.53), the largest (50 %) positive transgressions were in F1 hybrids using new genetic plasma varieties. Among hybrid populations F2, F3 and F4, selection value is represented by hybrid populations 4971 and 4976, which have the lowest stress resistance (–16.1, –18.6) and variation (16.9, 19.9) and the highest genetic stability (50.0, 50.2) and homeostaticity (19.1, 14.3), respectively. Among Control, Preliminary and Competitive tests, lines UK2621/18 and UK9855/18 have high stress resistance (–4.7, –5.8), homeostaticity (1416.0, 1008.0) and low variability (2.6 %, 3.5 %), respectively. They are the most adaptive and malleable to average and adverse environmental conditions. Line UK1182/17, which in 2020 was submitted for consideration to the State variety testing as "Blahovishchenska" (Kiev, Ukraine), was created using the purposeful method of pedigree in each link of selection. It has high adaptability, resistance to lodging, major diseases, high average yield (90.8 c/ha), and grain quality – it is strong wheat (protein amount 13.5–14.0 %, gluten – 30–35 %). Pedigree is the most effective method of continuous individual selection, which allows creating source material with high productivity, resistance to disease and adverse environmental factors

The aim of the work is to determine the color formation of multicomponent fruit and vegetable pastes and dried powder fractions at the stages of low-temperature pre-concentration and drying, as one of the factors, maintaining the quality of the products.
In the production of organic plant semi-finished products an important factor is the implementation of high-quality technological operations, including heat and mass transfer, which affects the final organoleptic characteristics of products. It is important to take into account the color of raw materials at the stages of blending puree in the production of paste and powder semi-finished products, which requires the introduction of a unified method for assessing the color of raw materials at each stage of the technological operation.
An analysis of traditional methods for determining color formation has been performed, as a result of which it has been found, that the most effective method of evaluation is digital, based on photo processing of the prototype. According to this method, the evaluation of color formation in the manufacture of semi-finished fruits and vegetables in accordance with the proposed recipes has been conducted. Color indices of multicomponent pastes and dried fractions based on them for three prototypes were obtained. The brightness of all samples of pastes is in the range - 36.4… 37.0 % with a purity of tone 64.7… 78.2 %, which corresponds to the reddish-orange color, was obtained. After drying the test samples of pastes to the dried fraction, it has been found, that the brightness, depending on the percentage of raw materials in a sample falls in the range of 30.5… 33.2 %, at that the coloration corresponds to colors from bluish-purple to bluish-red with a purity of tone within 34.7… 34.9 %. As a result of evaluation of organoleptic indicators, it has been found, that according to the presented research samples, the best indicators have a sample with 40 % of raw apples, 20 % of pumpkin, 30 % of cranberries and 10 % of hawthorn. The obtained research data will be useful in the development of methods for the production of semi-finished products from vegetable raw materials. The applied digital method of color determination differs in simplicity and economy in comparison with colorimetric and spectrometric

Abstract
Lignin is a major by-product of pulp and paper industries, and is resistant to depolymerization due to its heterogeneous structure. Degradation of lignin can be achieved by the use of potential lignin-degrading bacteria. The current study was designed to evaluate the degradation efficiency of newly isolated Bacillus altitudinis SL7 from pulp and paper mill effluent. The degradation efficiency of B. altitudinis SL7 was determined by color reduction, lignin content, and ligninolytic activity from degradation medium supplemented with alkali lignin (3 g/L). B. altitudinis SL7 reduced color and lignin content by 26 and 44%, respectively, on the 5th day of incubation, as evident from the maximum laccase activity. Optimum degradation was observed at 40 °C and pH 8.0. FT-IR spectroscopy and GC-MS analysis confirmed lignin degradation by emergence of the new peaks and identification of low-molecular-weight compounds in treated samples. The identified compounds such as vanillin, 2-methyoxyhenol, 3-methyl phenol, oxalic acid and ferulic acid suggested the degradation of coniferyl and sinapyl groups of lignin. Degradation efficiency of B. altitudinis SL7 towards high lignin concentration under alkaline pH indicated the potential application of this isolate in biological treatment of the lignin-containing effluents.

LA CORRUPCIÓN Y EL CONTROL JUDICIAL EN ARGENTINA: SU ESTUDIO A PARTIR DE LOS FALLOS DE EMIR FUAD YOMA, MARÍA JULIA ALSOGARAY Y CRISTOBAL LOPEZ.
Authors: Piana Ricardo Sebastián , Arévalo Martín 
Published: December 2021

En el presente artículo estudiamos el fenómeno de la corrupción en Argentina a partir del análisis de tres fallos del Poder Judicial relevantes tanto por repercusión mediática como por su doctrina, análisis que nos permitirá inferir algunas pautas sobre el funcionamiento del Poder Judicial.
Se utilizará como metodología la hermenéutica para el estudio de los fallos desde una perspectiva teórica que integra el estudio del derecho dentro de las ciencias sociales, encuadrando el control judicial como un fenómeno político.
El artículo se estructura en 3 secciones. La primera, presenta el problema de la corrupción desde una perspectiva teórica y normativa destacando su vinculación con el sistema político; la segunda, desde el control y el Poder Judicial y la necesidad de identificar el control como un control no político aún cuando sea necesario estudiar el fenómeno desde los aspectos políticos involucrados; en la tercena nos abocamos al estudio de los fallos. Concluimos que las doctrinas de fallos que reseñamos permitirían crear una red sólida para el controlar judicial de la corrupción, aunque identificamos un patrón temporal que afecta la eficacia del control.
FISCALIZAÇÃO DO TCU E AS GARANTIAS CONSTITUCIONAIS DO PROCESSO

Published: December 2021

A atuação do Tribunal de Contas da União ocorre através da obediência a ditames legais que se denotam carentes de concretização substancial quanto ao exercício da ampla defesa e contraditório. Pesquisou-se a estrutura e a natureza jurídica de seus atos para situá-lo adequadamente no contexto jurídico pátrio. Através de uma análise baseada em situações atuais e relevantes referentes a licitações e fiscalização de obras e serviços de engenharia, procurou-se entender como tais decisões se embasam para analisar as possíveis lesões que uma auditoria pode causar aos direitos e garantias de servidores públicos. Procurou-se demonstrar a situação delicada desses trabalhadores no exercício de funções que exigem o conhecimento de diversas leis, regulamentos e orientações jurisprudenciais que mudam constantemente e são aplicados de forma a não se considerar profundamente os casos concretos, gerando expectativa de que, ao executarem diversos atos, sejam punidos e multados em casos cujas responsabilidades não são bem delineadas. Tal situação caracteriza um direito administrativo do medo, com reflexos na criação de um clima organizacional de diminuição da produtividade. Conclui-se pela pouca efetividade no acionamento do Poder Judiciário por violação ao art. 5º, LV, da Constituição, que trata da necessidade de contraditório e ampla defesa, por predominar que, mesmo utilizando somente provas documentais, os processos perante o TCU não infringem a referida norma constitucional por haver previsão normativa na Lei 8.443/1992, que o permite regulamentar seus procedimentos.
