Digitalisation in Education, Allusions and References
Authors: Vivitsou Marianna 
Published: September 2019

The metaphor of digitalisation in education emerged during a period when phenomena such as budget cuts and privatisation, layoffs and outsourcing of labour marked the ethos of the twenty-first century. During this time, digitalisation was constructed as an ultimate purpose and an all-encompassing matter in education. As a result, these narratives add new configurations to the metaphor of digitalisation on an ongoing basis. Such configurations attribute a mythical fullness to the concept, in the sense that digitalisation goes beyond the limits of a property that needs be developed so that society can successfully deal with contemporary challenges and advancements. In this way, digitalisation emerges as a new hegemony in education, with narratives that are more and less directly referential. Less direct references add the element of allusion to the metaphor of digitalisation, in the sense that references can be more implicit/covert or even concealed/hidden. Moreover, as they combine with abstract terms and concepts, they make the boundaries of the technological and educational domains blurry and render education discourse vague. In order to examine the narratives of digitalisation and how they influence education discourse, this study aims to discuss and analyse relevant policy documents in relation to research and studies on the integration of digital technologies in classroom settings and the hybrid (or blended) learning environments that open up. For this purpose, the study uses thematic analysis and discourse analysis in order to trace allusions and references and discuss how emergent meanings relate to current and future needs in education generated by digitalisation itself.

Decision-Making on Choosing a Railway Line Option
Authors: Kazarina V. V. , Podverbniy V. A. 
Published: September 2019

This article proposes a solution to the problem of choosing an option for routing of a railway line among two previously developed options. As initial data, materials were used for designing Elegest–Kyzyl–Kuragino railway line. On this section, two routing options are considered, which must be compared in order to choose the best one. The first option of the line (Eastern) takes place in a recess outside the village of Podgorny, which excludes the cost of demolition of residential buildings and relocation of residents, but provides for a large amount of earthwork. In the second option (Western), the line is laid through the village of Podgorny. With this development of the line, the volume of earthwork is much smaller, but it is necessary to take into account demolition of residential buildings, relocation of residents, as well as installation of noise barriers.The conclusion drawn by the designers of CJSC Vostsibtransproekt was reviewed and analyzed. During the study, the applied decision-making method required some refinement with regard to this problem and additional analysis. To select the best option, the analytic hierarchy process was used.

Authors: Pastukhov D. F. , Volosova N. K. , Volosova A. K. 
Published: September 2019

The article presents additional options for development of the previously described method [3] of covertly transmitting a QR code using steganography, which may be required for delivery of information related to the transportation process and other tasks solved in transport. In particular, a new detailed option of application of different mathematical methods used in various scientific fields (for example, multi-grid method for difference approximation of the Dirichlet boundary-value problem for the Poisson equation with a high degree of accuracy) was proposed. An effective iterative formula was constructed for cases of complex sources distribution. The method reduces the number of iterations and the likelihood of an error when restoring the original and allows to create a respective application software.

Published: September 2019

The monograph considers the features of the dynamics of drilling vessels designed to work in the sea. The complex of theoretical studies included in the monograph is aimed at solving problems related to substantiation of features of dynamic positioning system of a drilling vessel, necessary for its operation in the open sea conditions.The conditions for operation of the automatic position-keeping system of a vessel are determined by the wind and wave roughness and the allowable flow speed.The proposed algorithms for solving problems of control of a drilling vessel represent a digital-analog complex, that is due to non-linearity of tasks being solved and the presence of logical conditions in the algorithms.The control model developed by the authors provides the possibility of its technical implementation.

Transport systems are considered in terms of ensuring freedom of movement. Various features of transport systems that are important for ensuring freedom of movement and factors affecting them are studied, main and associated characteristics there - ofarehighlighted. The similarities and differencesin understanding of freedom of movement and of transport mobility are revealed.It is shown that the existing modes of transport differ significantly in terms of the ability to ensure freedom of movement, and these differences have a significant impact on the choice of individuals in favor of a particular mode of transport. It is concluded that the need to prioritize the need for freedom of movement is to be considered in development of transport systems. It is proposed particularly to account for the modern emergi n g trend of hybridization of vehicles. As a perspective for development of this t rend, creation of multitransport is foreseen, which best combines various characteristics of vehicles and systems i n terms o f freedom of movement.

Published: September 2019

A multilayer neural network has been designed to forecast average daily energy consumption of a railway marshalling yard. The suggested model comprises a multilayer perceptron using 22 inputs, the n-th number of hidden layers and one output. The number of hidden layers in the neural network and neurons in them was chosen experimentally. A comparative selection of activation functions and training methods has allowed for all other parameters to achieve a minimum average relative error. Two types of loads corresponding to holidays (non-working) and working days were identified. An additional input node with binary coding and two nodes for coding the season were introduced due to a certain repeatability characterizing samples of prediction of loads of energy consumption of the marshalling yard depending on type of a day and on a season. As accounting of the dependence of the forecast on load values in previous days and years (dynamic dependencies) is most important factor, this neural network takes into account the average daily energy consumption during four days of the current period, precedingthe forecasted date, and the average daily power consumption during four days prior to this date during last three years.As a result, considering all factors and experimentally selected parameters of the neural network, the minimum resulting error of MAPE is about 1,4 %, which shows the advantage of the developed neural network in comparison with two other methods of solution of the problem, suggested by other researchers.
Inertial Capacitive Energy Storage Device for a Shunting Diesel Locomotive
Authors: Popov I. P. 
Published: September 2019

The relatively frequent change in the operating mode of a shunting diesel locomotive determines efficiency and feasibility of equipping it with an energy storage device. In addition to smoothing the load on the power plant, the energy storage device will allow to regenerate energy during braking, thereby increasing energy efficiency of a shunting diesel locomotive. This topic is frequently discussed in World of Transport and Transportation Journal, that is the evidence of its timeliness. The theoretical background for developing an inertial capacitive energy storage device, which is technically designed as a DC machine with a super flywheel that makes it possible to smooth the load on the power plant, thereby reducing its power and mass and dimensions, is presented. The increase in mass thanks to the energy storage device can be compensated by a decrease in the mass of the engine. As the diesel locomotive is equipped with electromechanical transmission, then it minimizes the framework of development for it of a considered inertial capacitive drive, making it even more advantageous. The article provides initial calculations and circuits.
Los enfoques de la geografía en su evolución como ciencia
Authors: Cuadra Dante Edin 
Published: September 2019

<p>La geografía como conocimiento tiene una larga historia, pero recién logró afirmarse como disciplina científica a fines del siglo XIX, tras los valiosos aportes de Humboldt, Ritter, Richthofen y Ratzel y su inclusión inicial en las instituciones universitarias alemanas. A lo largo del tiempo, fueron numerosos los paradigmas que la influyeron y, en tal sentido, fue adoptando diferentes enfoques para abordar su objeto de estudio: el espacio geográfico. Estas perspectivas han mostrado un denominador común en la mayor parte del camino recorrido por la geografía: la coexistencia. Algunos enfoques adquieren mayor relevancia que otros en determinados tramos de tiempo, pero todos siguen en carrera con sus diferentes y valiosas miradas que proyectan sobre la realidad. En pleno siglo XXI, en universidades, centros de investigación y restantes instituciones científicas, se aprecian grupos de investigadores distribuidos en las más variadas corrientes geográficas, algunas tradicionales (como la general y sistemática, regional, ecológica humana, cultural) y, otras, con trayectorias más recientes, posteriores a la segunda guerra mundial (como sucede con los enfoques cuantitativo, sistémico, de la percepción y el comportamiento, radical, humanista, ambiental, automatizado y cultural posmoderno).</p><p> </p>

<p>El Estado Islámico, desconocido hasta hace poco tiempo, ha ingresado de manera abrupta y violenta en la actualidad geopolítica mundial durante el año 2014. Aprovechando las crisis existentes en Siria e Irak, tomó el control de vastas regiones y hoy dispone de numerosos recursos financieros. A diferencia de Al Qaeda (en la que tiene sus orígenes), ésta organización sunnita radical ha autoproclamado su propio Califato y partir de ahí su principal deseo es gobernar sobre todos los musulmanes del mundo, es decir que busca construir un amplio poder territorial, a partir de su severa interpretación del Islam y su violencia brutal contra los chiitas.</p><p> </p>
Determinants of Modern Contraceptive Methods Use in Piple, Chitwan of Nepal
Authors: Shah Rajani , Malla Dinesh Kumar 
Published: September 2019

Background: Family planning contributes in preventing maternal and child mortality and empowers women. For the past ten years contraceptive prevalence rate has remained stagnant in Nepal. This study aimed at iden­tifying the use and factors associated with modern contraceptive methods in Piple, Chitwan, Nepal.
Methods: It was a cross-sectional study. Piple village development com­mittee was selected purposively, in which two wards were randomly se­lected. Married women of reproductive age (n=332) of each household were interviewed. Descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analysis were performed.
Results: About half (49%) of the respondents had used a modern contra­ceptive method. Women in the age groups 25-39 years [aOR: 2.39; 95% CI: 1.16 - 4.92] and 40-49 years [aOR: 4.67; 95% CI: 1.71 - 12.70] were more likely to use modern contraceptives compared to the women in the age group 15-24 years. Similarly, women having 3 or more living children [aOR: 2.98; 95% CI: 1.19 - 7.50] were more likely to use the modern contracep­tives than women with upto two children. Women whose husbands would approve of using the contraceptives [aOR: 11.33; 95% CI: 3.93-32.62] were more likely to use the methods than those who got or perceived no ap­proval from husband.
Conclusions: Information and service on modern contraceptive methods should be focused to younger women. Involvement of husbands in family planning program would contribute to use of modern contraceptives by women.
Postnatal Care Services Utilization in Bharatpur Sub Metropolitan City, Chitwan, Nepal
Authors: Shrestha Niki , Tiwari Binita , Piryani Suneel , Khanal Gayatri 
Published: September 2019

Background: Postnatal period is a critical phase in the lives of mothers and newborn infants. 2.9 million neonatal deaths occur in the first week of life on an annual basis globally. In Nepal, the level of postnatal care coverage remains low despite the efforts and research on factors influencing the Post-natal care (PNC) services utilization is limited. Hence this study was conducted to explore the predictors of PNC utilization among mothers who had under one-year child.
Methods: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Bharat­pur Sub Metropolitan city, Chitwan among mothers having a child of less than one year age. Data was collected through face-to-face interview using inter­view-schedule. Descriptive (frequency and percentage), Bivariate (Chi-squre) and Multivariate (logistic regression) analyses were performed.
Results: This study showed that the proportion of recommended PNC servic­es utilization is low in comparison with those utilizing ANC services in Nepal. The percentage of women attending all the three recommended PNC visits was only 17.5%. The utilization of PNC services was associated with mother’s educational status, parity, place of PNC services received and awareness about PNC services. The mode of delivery, danger signs seen in postnatal mothers, and danger signs seen in newborn were statistically significantly associated with PNC services utilization.
Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest context specific evidence which might be taken into consideration while planning to develop new poli­cies to increase PNC utilization.
Comparing No-Show Rates of Neurology Outpatients with and without Parkinson’s Disease: A Real-World Assessment of the Parkinsonian Personality Profile
Authors: Bell Jeremiah Fuller , Wu Yingxing , Sollinger Ann B. , Muthukattil Ronex J. , Ferrara Joseph M. 
Published: September 2019

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been hypothesized to be associated with certain personality traits, including conscientiousness and punctuality. However, research aimed at quantifying these traits is largely derived from questionnaire-based personality inventories rather than real-world observations. Objective: To explore the presence of a parkinsonian personality profile by assessing the no-show rate of patients with PD versus other neurological disorders. Methods: We extracted data from our electronic health record for all neurology appointments over a 78-month interval. Additionally, we obtained primary care appointment data for the same patients over the same timeframe. For each appointment we collected appointment date/time, check-in time, provider, age, sex, insurance type, days between appointment date and scheduling, diagnosis code, and no-show status. Results: 19,433 unique patients (400 with PD) accounting for a total of 252,347 outpatient appointments were included in our analysis. The overall no-show rate for PD patients was 3% versus 7.4% for patients with other neurologic disorders (OND). No show rates for PD patients were lower than those with OND for both neurology appointments (2.7% versus 13.6%) and for primary care visits (3.1% versus 5.9%). Conclusions: Patients with PD have lower no-show rates than patients with OND. Additionally, the no-show rate for patients with PD did not differ between their neurology and primary care appointments, confirming that patient’s personality rather than provider traits account for this difference, and supporting the presence of a parkinsonian personality.

Published: September 2019

Background: Sporadic Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients have lower α-galactosidase A ( α-GAL A) enzymatic activity and Fabry disease (FD) patients potentially carry an increased risk of PD. Objective: Determination of PD prevalence in FD and clinical, biochemical and vascular neuroimaging description of FD pedigrees with concomitant PD. Methods: Clinical screening for PD in 229 FD patients belonging to 31 families, harbouring GLA gene mutation p.F113L, and subsequent pedigree analysis. Gender-stratified comparison of FD+/PD+ patients with their family members with FD but without PD (FD+/PD–) regarding Mainz scores, plasma & leukocytes α-GAL A enzymatic activity, urinary Gb3 and plasma Lyso-Gb3, vascular brain neuroimaging. Results: Prevalence of PD in FD was 1.3% (3/229) (3% in patients aged ≥50 years). Three FD patients, one female (73 years old) (P1) and two males (60 and 65 years old) (P2 and P3), three different pedigrees, presented akinetic-rigid PD, with weak response to levodopa (16% – 36%), and dopaminergic deficiency on 18F-DOPA PET. No pathogenic mutations were found in a PD gene panel. FD+/PD+ patients had worse clinical severity of FD (above upper 75% IQR in Mainz scores), and cortico-subcortical white matter/small vessel lesions. P3 patient was under enzyme therapy, started 1 year before PD diagnosis. P2-P3 patients had higher leucocyte α-GAL A activity (2,2-3 vs.1,0 (median)(nmol/h/mg)). Conclusion: We have shown a high prevalence of PD in a late-onset phenotype of FD, presenting high cerebrovascular burden and weak response to levodopa. Further studies will untangle how much of this PD phenotype is due to Gb3 deposition versus cerebrovascular lesions in the nigro-striatal network.
