Implementation of new hybrid evolutionary algorithm with fuzzy logic control approach for optimization problems
Authors: Afathi Maan 
Published: December 2021

The main purpose of using the hybrid evolutionary algorithm is to reach optimal values and achieve goals that traditional methods cannot reach and because there are different evolutionary computations, each of them has different advantages and capabilities. Therefore, researchers integrate more than one algorithm into a hybrid form to increase the ability of these algorithms to perform evolutionary computation when working alone. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for hybrid genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) with fuzzy logic control (FLC) approach for function optimization. Fuzzy logic is applied to switch dynamically between evolutionary algorithms, in an attempt to improve the algorithm performance. The HEF hybrid evolutionary algorithms are compared to GA, PSO, GAPSO, and PSOGA. The comparison uses a variety of measurement functions. In addition to strongly convex functions, these functions can be uniformly distributed or not, and are valuable for evaluating our approach. Iterations of 500, 1000, and 1500 were used for each function. The HEF algorithm’s efficiency was tested on four functions. The new algorithm is often the best solution, HEF accounted for 75 % of all the tests. This method is superior to conventional methods in terms of efficiency

Published: December 2021

In the experimental field of UASVM Cluj-Napoca from Jucu we performed, between 2008-2010, a series of research on the behavior of eight varieties of marigold, in three conditions of soil fertilization with manure. The average yearly air temperature is 10.71 º C Jucu in 2008, 11.12 º C in 2009 and 11.21 º C in 2010 and during the growing season (aprilie-sept.) of 17.70 ° C 19.07 ° C and 18, 08 ° C. In terms of rainfall, 2008 was very dry (less than 150 mm from the annual average), 2009 excessively dry (less than 250 mm annual average) and 2010 was very wet (83 mm more than the annual average). Climatic conditions were favorable to grow marigolds.
A series of biometric measurements have been conducted on the eight varieties of marigold, such as waist measurement of the average plant, the production of flowers and drying efficiency, the correlation between average plant size and production.
Average plant size in eight varieties of marigold, in 2008-2010 was between 67.44 and 84.78 cm. Production of fresh flowers was between 7400 and 8507 kg / ha.
The biggest production of inflorescences was obtained from varieties of ”Belezza del Pacifico”, ”Cluj 2” and ”Starsem 922”, with over 9.000 kg / ha of fresh flowers. Production of Marigold is strongly influenced by genotype and fertilization. The average yield of drying was 6 / 1.
Between the average height of marigold plant and production there's a direct link. The increase of production is influenced by the average size of marigold plant.

: Eating is the basis for life and a permanent acting factor that determines metabolic process development and the food is the source and controller for the exchange process. Food is achieved by daily consumption of varying amounts of aliments or food products. A diet (menu) is a set of dishes which are obtained by grouping in a certain order the food consumed at one meal or one day. Planning diet is a scientific tool to make an “intelligent” diet addressed to various healthy or unhealthy people.
The daily menu provides the necessary food for 24 hours, by categories of consumers, according to the body's physiological requirements. This study’s main aim was to detect improper eating habits or nutritional problems of individuals in order to planned (designing) and develop a menu to ensure a balanced and healthy diet. Initially we assessed the volunteers’ health by questionnaire, medical test and anthropometric data. Then with the help of nutritional programs we have developed for each volunteer a planned menu, ensuring the requirements for variety, seasonality and the strength of satiation, including scientific parameters (as GI, and inflammation factor).
This study was conducted for one month, during which each volunteer was req

Published: December 2021

The goals of this work are as follows: (а) searching for a method of study of the In – Se system taking into account the specified problems and difficulties, (b) choosing a way for the instrumental implementation of this method, and (c) obtaining experimental evidence that this method and its implementation are promising. The choice of the In – Se system is related to the fact that indium selenides, layered structures and semiconductor phases with stoichiometric vacancies, are promising from the point of view of materials science. This choice is also related to the use of binary precursors for the synthesis of heterostructures based on CIS compounds.We studied the possibility of applying the auxiliary component method using the equilibrium with the participation of indium chloride vapours which were made to contact the condensed phases of the In – Se system. Equilibrium was achieved using high-temperature spectrophotometry of the vapour phase. The experiment had two stages. During the first stage we determined the absorption characteristics of the InCl3 vapour. During the second stage we studied the heterogeneous equilibrium of the unsaturated indium chloride vapour with several phases of the In – Se system. Over the course of the study, we determined the molar attenuation coefficients of the InCl3 vapour and plotted the temperature dependences of the value KP.It was found that the phase composition of the alloys significantly influences the position of the corresponding lines on the KP–T diagram, which proves the possibility of using the suggested auxiliary component method in its specific instrumental (spectrophotometric) implementation in order to study the In – Se system. We also showed the additional possibilities of using this method for plotting T-x diagrams of binary systems in such high-temperature areas where the binary solid phase is in equilibrium with the melt. This application of the method is related to the solubility of a vapour of an auxiliary component (chlorine in the form of indium chlorides) in the melts of binary phases (indium selenides).

Purpose: Statin therapy should be considered in children with familial hypercholesterolemia and sustained high LDL-C levels. There are no data on rosuvastatin exposure in patients <6 years and efficacy/safety can only be derived from case reports. Our aim was to examine developmental changes in pharmacokinetics of rosuvastatin in rats in vivo as a basis for clinical development of formulations for patients < 6 years. Methods: Rosuvastatin pharmacokinetics was examined in rats aged 1, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days (from birth to sexual maturity). After intraperitoneal dose of 5 mg/kg, blood samples to determine serum rosuvastatin levels were taken at 0.5, 3 and 5 hours. Pharmacokinetic parameters (Vd, CL, AUClast, AUC0-∞) were calculated using pharmacokinecic simulations. Results: Both rosuvastatin CL and Vd started to increase systematically between 2 - 3 weeks of age, which was reflected by decreased total drug exposure. The AUC was up to 13 times higher in the age groups ≤14 days compared with the value at 42 days. Conclusions: Based on interspecies scaling, a dose reduction could be a feasible way, how to develop appropriate dosing schedule and formulations for children aged 2 - 6 years. However, confirmation in clinical development studies will be needed.
Rola filozofii prawa w podejmowaniu decyzji sędziowskiej – rozważania w oparciu o filozofię Gustava Radbrucha
Authors: Dąbrowska Agata 
Published: December 2021

Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu poruszenie problematyki filozofii prawa i jej wpływu na kształtowanie decyzji sędziowskiej na tle filozofii Gustava Radbrucha. Niejednokrotnie w sposób nieświadomy to przyjmowana przez sędziego postawa filozoficzna wobec prawa determinuje sposób wykładni norm, co wpływa na decyzję finalną. Poprzez analizę filozofii Gustava Radbrucha i zestawienie jej z poglądami Hansa Kelsena dowiedzione zostanie, że poglądy filozoficzne sędziów nie pozostają bez znaczenia dla decyzji sędziowskiej. Do uwidocznienia wspomnianego problemu zostanie wykorzystana analiza artykułu Lona Fullera „sprawa grotołazów”. Posłuży ona do przedstawienia zależności między przyjmowaniem pozytywistycznego paradygmatu a wykładnią formalistyczną, a także paradygmatów realistycznych lub prawonaturalnych a wykładnią antyformalistyczną. Zatem aby wykazać, że filozofia prawa jest czynnikiem wpływającym na decyzję sędziowską podjęte zostaną dwa zasadnicze problemy – przemiany myśli filozoficzno-prawnej pod wpływem wydarzeń historycznych oraz korespondencja między filozofią prawa a sposobem prowadzenia wykładni przez sędziów.

The study assessed the impact of corruption practices and government effectiveness (GE) on human capital development (HCD) in Nigeria between the years 2003 and 2020, Panel data from 2003 to 2020 were obtained from the database of United Nations Development Programme, World Development Indicators and CIP and were analysed using the ordinary least square method which is suitable for the dataset. The study found that corruption has a significant relationship with HCD in Nigeria while the relationship between GE and HCD is not significant. The research implication is that the persistent problem of slow and sometimes stagnant HCD and growth in Nigeria can be reversed by improving GE and by reducing corrupt practices in the country. The paper concluded that corruption practices have a very strong influence on HCD in Nigeria, while the relationship between GE and HCD is insignificant. It was recommended that Nigeria should institute stiffer punishments for offenses bothering on corruption practices.

Keywords: Corruption, human capital, development, government effectiveness, Nigeria.

Ґрунтуючись на масиві змістовних джерел вітчизняних архівів, Російського державного історичного архіву (Санкт-Петербург), а також на матеріалах тогочасної преси, відтворено основні етапи й тенденції в еволюції «польського питання» у хронологічних межах після повстання 1863 р. і до Першої світової війни. З’ясовано, що, витримавши репресії царизму, особливо в перше постповстанське десятиріччя, польській людності на українських землях у складі Російської імперії вдалося зберегти національну ідентичність та за ідеологічної підтримки Римсько-католицької церкви розгорнути національне відродження. Його активна фаза припала на 1905–1907 рр. і в латентних формах тривала за часів реакції до початку Першої Світової війни. Причини поразки асиміляторської політики царського уряду та нарощення польського визвольного потенціалу були пов’язані також з лояльним ставленням до польської боротьби з боку місцевого українського населення, особливо Правобережної України.

Biomedical photometersʼ information-measuring systems with ellipsoidal reflectors have acceptable results in determining of biological tissues optical properties in the visible and near-infrared spectral range. These photometers make it possible to study the optical radiation propagation in turbid media for direct and inverse problems of light-scattering optics. The purpose of this work is to study the influence of the ellipsoidal reflectors design parameters on the results of biomedical photometry when simulating the optical radiation propagation in a system of biological tissue and reflectors in transmitted and reflected light.The paper substantiates the choice of the ellipsoidal reflectors’ focal parameter for efficient registration of forward and backscattered light. The methodology of the process is illustrated by the results of a model experiment using the Monte Carlo simulation for samples of human brain white and gray matter at the visible range of 405 nm, 532 nm, and 650 nm. The total transmittance, diffuse reflectance, and absorption graphs depending on the sample thickness were obtained. Based on the introduced concepts of the ellipsoidal reflector efficiency index and its efficiency factor, the expediency of choosing the ellipsoidal reflectors focal parameter is analyzed to ensure the registration of the maximum amount of scattered light. The graphs of efficiency index in reflected and transmitted light for different thickness samples of white and gray matter and efficiency factors depending on the sample thickness were obtained.The influence of the reflectors ellipticity on the illuminance of various zones of photometric images using the example of an absorbing biological medium – pig liver tissue – at wavelength of 405 nm with a Monte Carlo simulation was analyzed.The optical properties of biological media (scattering and absorption coefficients, scattering anisotropy factor, refractive index) and the samples’ geometric dimensions, particularly the thickness, are predetermined when choosing the ellipsoidal reflectors parameters for registration of the scattered light. Coordinates of the output of photons and their statistical weight obtained in the Monte Carlo simulation of light propagation in biological tissue have a physical effect on a characteristic scattering spot formation in the receiving plane of a biomedical photometer with ellipsoidal reflectors.

Published: December 2021

The main reason of voltage instability in stand-alone power supply systems is the electric drive motors inrush current, which are usually higher than their nominal value. The most reasonable way to solve this problem is using capacitive energy storage. The purpose of research is shape and measurement monitoring of battery-capacitive energy storage device inrush current characteristics. Parameters comparative analysis for lithium-ion battery (LIB) part and capacitive part of the energy storage device was holding with the twochannel digital oscilloscope.Measuring testing bench included parallel connected LIB part and capacitive part of the storage device and connected to the power source. The LIB part of the storage device is made on the basis of the ATOM 10 multifunctional motor drive device of the new generation, which contains 15 V lithium-ion battery and 9.4 A·h capacity. The capacitive part of the storage device is the INSPECTOR Booster supercapacitor with an 80 F electrostatic capacitance and 15.5 V voltage. A 12 V AC/DC step-down converter was used as a power source. An electric air automobile compressor M-14001 was used as a current drain. The testing bench measuring part consisted of a two-channel digital oscilloscope and two standard measuring shunts with 15000 μOm resistance serial attached to LIB part and capacitive part of the storage device. Shape and measurement monitoring of inrush current characteristics of LIB part and capacitive part of the energy storage device was held synchronously using a two-channel digital oscilloscope with recording data to FAT32 file system USB flash drive. Obtained data was transferred to a personal computer and analyzed.The measurement results showed that 82.3 % of the energy losses compensation of the motor start is taken over by the capacitive part of the energy storage device, what makes longer LIB’s life. By adjusting the oscilloscope sweep trace index you can analyze more detailed time response shape and its duration. The values of the inrush current amplitudes were calculated in proportion to the voltage drop on the shunts and their resistances.The developed method for monitoring shape and measurement inrush current characteristics can be used in various technical applications: smart stand-alone photovoltaic system, uninterruptible power supply devices, electric drive control systems, etc.
