Authors: Каверзнева  , Kaverzneva T. , Леонова  , Leonova Natalya 
Published: March 2017

Principles for formation of educational programs in the “Technosphere safety” direction in a technical high educational
institution are considered in this paper. A strategy of the course, providing continuity with other disciplines of the
natural-science cycle, allowing form students’ future professional image on lectures, practical and laboratory sessions
has been defined. It has been demonstrated that the safe behavior culture formation supposes the willingness and
ability to use the acquired body of knowledge, skills and abilities related to safe behavior in any sphere of activity. The
experience related to interactive classes use in the educational process of Peter the Great Saint-Petersburg Polytechnic
University’s
“Health and Safety Training Course” chair has been marked. It has been demonstrated that interactive methods,
without replacing the lectures, contribute to better assimilation of theoretical material and effectively form students’
opinions, relations, and behavior habits. When using the interactive forms, the teacher distributes roles for lesson
participants, gives overview tasks, regulates the brainstorming process, and participates in discussions of assigned
problems.
Barak’s Purposive Interpretation in Law as a Pattern of Constitutional Interpretative Fidelity
Authors: Marinković Tanasije 
Published: March 2017

AbstractPolitical jurisprudence points out that constitutional court judges sometimes act like political actors, and that their decisions are a function of strategic and ideological as much as legal considerations. Consequently, the proper role of the courts, notably in exercising their review of constitutionality, has been one of the most debated issues in modern political and legal theory. Part of the controversy is also how to measure the interpretative fidelity of judges to the constitutional texts, or conversely, the level of their political engagement. This paper argues for the reconsideration of Aharon Barak’sPurposive Interpretation in Lawin that light. Barak’s work was intended to provide, in the first place, judges and other lawyers with a sort of judicial philosophy – a holistic system of legal reasoning, applying both to the interpretation of will, contract, statute and constitution. Nevertheless, these conventions of legal reasoning, modified and readapted, could well be used also as heuristic tools by the academics in measuring the interpretative fidelity of judges to various sources of law. Accordingly, this paper clings closely to the presentation of Barak’s precepts for the purposive interpretation of constitutions, by focusing on the notions of subjective and objective purpose in interpreting constitutions, and how the potential conflicts between these purposes are resolved.
Criminal Policy Challenges under Conditions of Hybrid War: Some Issues and Solutions from Ukraine
Authors: Pysmenskyy Yevhen 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
This article studies the specifics of national criminal policy implementation under the influence of extraordinary geopolitical factors on it. Such policy will be reviewed with Ukraine serving as an appropriate example. This country has been recently forced to adjust its own ways of implementation of the state policy against crime based on atypical modern challenges and threats. This refers to the special nature of a hybrid war, which has been actively fought on the territory of Ukraine since 2014. The author examines two key areas of criminal policy (definition of the limits of criminal behavior and establishing criminal law consequences of the committed offenses), implemented under the extraordinary circumstances of hybrid war. Symptomatic features of the hybrid form of foreign aggression are defined in the piece. At the same time, options of criminal law in combating and preventing such aggression are researched.
Special focus is placed on new acts that have been criminalized as well as those that might need further criminalization. Attention is paid to the issues of criminal law protection of national and historical memory, and to the concept of journalism related crimes. The importance of amnesty as an effective tool to resolve conflicts between individual and state is also emphasized in the article.
An image-processing strategy to extract important information suitable for a low-size stimulus pattern in a retinal prosthesis

Published: March 2017

AbstractBackground:A retinal prosthesis is designed to help the blind to obtain some sight. It consists of an external part and an internal part. The external part is made up of a camera, an image processor and an RF transmitter. The internal part is made up of an RF receiver, implant chip and microelectrode.Methods:Currently, the number of microelectrodes is in the hundreds, and we do not know the mechanism for using an electrode to stimulate the optic nerve. A simple hypothesis is that the pixels in an image correspond to the electrode. The images captured by the camera should be processed by suitable strategies to correspond to stimulation from the electrode. Thus, it is a question of how to obtain the important information from the image captured in the picture. Here, we use the region of interest (ROI), a useful algorithm for extracting the ROI, to retain the important information, and to remove the redundant information.Results:This paper explains the details of the principles and functions of the ROI. Because we are investigating a real-time system, we need a fast processing ROI as a useful algorithm to extract the ROI. Thus, we simplified the ROI algorithm and used it in an outside image-processing digital signal processing (DSP) system of the retinal prosthesis.Conclusion:The results show that our image-processing strategies are suitable for a real-time retinal prosthesis and can eliminate redundant information and provide useful information for expression in a low-size image.

AbstractBackground:Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy has revolutionized the way end stage heart failure is treated today. Analysis of LVAD interaction with the whole cardiovascular system and its biological feedback loops is often conducted by means of computer models. Generating real time pressure volume loops (PV-loops) in patients, not using conductance catheters but routine diagnostics to feed anMethods:Routinely obtained hemodynamic measurements to evaluate myocardial function prior to LVAD implantation like pressure readings in the aorta, the left atrium and the left ventricle and simultaneous three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography recordings were assessed to parametrize a reduced computational model of the cardiovascular system. An automatic parameter identification procedure has been developed.Results:The results constitute a patient-individual computational simulation model. An exemplaryConclusion:The model improves understanding and prediction of the interaction between pump and ventricles. Future modifications in exporting and merging routinely assessed real time hemodynamic patient data are necessary to investigate various clinical and pathological conditions of LVAD recipients.

Generalization of Pawlak’s Approximations in Hypermodules by Set-Valued Homomorphisms
Authors: Mirvakili Saeed , Anvariyeh Seid Mohammad , Davvaz Bijan 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
The initiation and majority on rough sets for algebraic hyperstructures such as hypermodules over a hyperring have been concentrated on a congruence relation. The congruence relation, however, seems to restrict the application of the generalized rough set model for algebraic sets. In this paper, in order to solve this problem, we consider the concept of set-valued homomorphism for hypermodules and we give some examples of set-valued homomorphism. In this respect, we show that every homomorphism of the hypermodules is a set-valued homomorphism. The notions of generalized lower and upper approximation operators, constructed by means of a set-valued mapping, which is a generalization of the notion of lower and upper approximations of a hypermodule, are provided. We also propose the notion of generalized lower and upper approximations with respect to a subhypermodule of a hypermodule discuss some significant properties of them.
Robust and Reliable Portfolio Optimization Formulation of a Chance Constrained Problem
Authors: Sengupta Raghu Nandan , Kumar Rakesh 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
We solve a linear chance constrained portfolio optimization problem using Robust Optimization (RO) method wherein financial script/asset loss return distributions are considered as extreme valued. The objective function is a convex combination of portfolio’s CVaR and expected value of loss return, subject to a set of randomly perturbed chance constraints with specified probability values. The robust deterministic counterpart of the model takes the form of Second Order Cone Programming (SOCP) problem. Results from extensive simulation runs show the efficacy of our proposed models, as it helps the investor to (i) utilize extensive simulation studies to draw insights into the effect of randomness in portfolio decision making process, (ii) incorporate different risk appetite scenarios to find the optimal solutions for the financial portfolio allocation problem and (iii) compare the risk and return profiles of the investments made in both deterministic as well as in uncertain and highly volatile financial markets.
Activated carbon derived from spherical hydrochar functionalized with triethylenetetramine: synthesis, characterizations, and adsorption application

Published: March 2017

AbstractThis study investigated the adsorption capacities of various contaminants on glucose-derived hydrochar (GH) and glucose-activated carbon (GAC) functionalized with triethylenetetramine (TETA). The two-stage synthesis process consisted of (1) hydrothermal carbonization using various TETA concentrations (1%–5%) to create TETA-functionalized GHs, and (2) chemical activation with NaOH to produce TETA-GACs. The basic properties of the adsorbents were examined using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. The adsorption characteristics of the GH and GAC samples toward two heavy metal ions (Pb
Automated Dental Identification with Lowest Cost Path-Based Teeth and Jaw Separation
Authors: Ølberg Jan-Vidar , Goodwin Morten 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Teeth are some of the most resilient tissues of the human body. Because of their placement, teeth often yield intact indicators even when other metrics, such as finger prints and DNA, are missing. Forensics on dental identification is now mostly manual work which is time and resource intensive. Systems for automated human identification from dental X-ray images have the potential to greatly reduce the necessary efforts spent on dental identification, but it requires a system with high stability and accuracy so that the results can be trusted.
This paper proposes a new system for automated dental X-ray identification. The scheme extracts tooth and dental work contours from the X-ray images and uses the Hausdorff-distance measure for ranking persons. This combination of state-of-the-art approaches with a novel lowest cost path-based method for separating a dental X-ray image into individual teeth, is able to achieve comparable and better results than what is available in the literature.
The proposed scheme is fully functional and is used to accurately identify people within a real dental database. The system is able to perfectly separate 88.7% of the teeth in the test set. Further, in the verification process, the system ranks the correct person in top in 86% of the cases, and among the top five in an astonishing 94% of the cases. The approach has compelling potential to significantly reduce the time spent on dental identification.
« If you control your nutrition, you can shape your body at will! ». A rational management of food intake by bodybuilders
Authors: Perera Eric 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
Here is how Cédric sees people eating French fries, six month after entering a bodybuilding training room: « If I give it greasy food (speaking about his body), I run the risk of being nauseated by these chips and the organism will not miss out on the chance of stocking all this unhoped for fat, which would ruin 5 weeks of daily efforts. Ridiculous! ». Certain foods become a source of aversion; eating is no longer a pleasure. These words are even more surprising when discovering Cédric’s dietary habits. Indeed, he eats alternatively 33 grams of plain rice and then, one hour later, 100 grams of chicken, which he repeats 16 times a day. In order to stay awake, he takes pure caffeine, in addition to the usual products: vitamins and food supplements. How is such a fast change in food tastes and distastes possible? How does it occur? This can only be understood by examining the logic that governs the world of bodybuilding. Each aspect of life is reorganized around one single aim: maximal muscular development. Thus, increasing muscular mass is the ultimate aim of bodybuilders, which means that pleasure can only come from activities that bring them closer to this aim. Eating becomes a completely instrumental activity; bodybuilders speak of « nutrimentation ». Phases of drastic dieting are followed by calorific orgies. These modifications are the result of the continuous inculcation of puritan ethics which progressively organize every aspect of their life.
The methods used for the diagnosis and evaluation of scoliosis
Authors: Vutan Ana-Maria , Lovasz Erwin-Christian , Amarandei Mihaela , Ciupe Valentin 
Published: March 2017

Abstract
In recent years there multiple studies have been carried out on early diagnosis of scoliosis on school and preschool children. The diagnosis and evaluation of scoliosis is done by carrying out X-rays. A protocol is implemented for tracking the evolution of a scoliosis which involves both clinical control and imaging (X-ray) every 6 months, until the end of the growth period of the child. Because investigations such as X-ray and CT, can have harmful effects on the child's growing body (recent studies have shown that X-ray affects the skin, eyes, hematopoietic tissue, gonads and may cause cancer), new methods for diagnosing and tracking the evolution in time were researched. The present paper tries to present the current methods used in the diagnosis and assessment of scoliosis evolution in time, pointing out the main advantages and disadvantages of each method. There are a few methods developed in recent years in Germany by Zebris Medical Gmbh (using mapping with ultrasonic digital equipment), in Canada by InSpeck (using three-dimensional mapping through digital image acquisition) but used on a small scale. The newly developed methods have the advantage of being non-invasive, painless, non-irradiating and they can be used regardless of health status or gender. Although medical technology has developed very rapidly in recent years, radiology remains the most common method of investigation used for scoliosis. Certainly, in the near future the methods presented in this paper could be used more widely, for the benefits arising from their use.
Making urban design a public participatory goal: toward evidence-based urbanism
Authors: Dyer Mark , Corsini Filippo , Certomà Chiara 
Published: March 2017

The paper builds on the evidence of an increasing consensus towards citizens' engagement practices in shaping both the form and functioning of the city, and on the apparent distance between the setting up of governance structures adequate for participatory processes to be performed, and the daily urban planning and design. Against this context, the research investigates whether public participation processes are adequately and appropriately addressed in urban planning and design practices. A bibliometric analysis on participatory processes' connection with urban studies (including urban governance, planning, design and development) is described, together with an in-depth evaluation of some works, which makes it possible to appreciate the complexity of the topic. The bibliometric analysis shows a significant divide between the traditional fields of social sciences, built environment disciplines and information technologies; and no common understanding or framework to translate aspirations for greater citizen participation into improved planning, design and construction of city infrastructures. Discussion and conclusions provide, thus, some guidelines for an ambitious research agenda to address these shortcomings based on a systems approach, able to integrate the processes and results from direct participatory processes into decision making for urban planning and design.
Lapsos de língua e discurso: uma análise do termo nasciturno
Authors: Fedatto Carolina P. 
Published: March 2017

Resumo: A partir de reflexões sobre erro, analogia e formação de palavras nos estudos da linguagem, da consideração do estatuto dos lapsos e atos falhos na psicanálise e das discussões da análise do discurso sobre o papel constitutivo da memória na estruturação da língua, o artigo apresenta uma análise do termo nasciturno, que apareceu como um lapso no contexto das polêmicas sobre o projeto de lei conhecido como Estatuto do Nascituro. Discutem-se as implicações entre a ordem da língua e a ordem do discurso na emergência de lapsos discursivos, isto é, formações lexicais que irrompem socialmente pela articulação da língua com o real da história. Pela consideração dos efeitos da poesia na língua e da exterioridade constitutiva, propõe-se uma análise do acontecimento do termo nasciturno, mostrando a imbricação entre forma linguística, incompletude do sentido e seu atravessamento pelo inconsciente e pela ideologia.Palavras-chave: lapsos de língua; lapsos discursivos; inconsciente e ideologia; língua, discurso e poesia.Abstract: From the reflections on error, analogy and word formation, in language studies, the consideration of the establishment of lapses and Freudian slips in psychoanalysis and the discussions taken by discourse analysis about the founding role of memory in the structuring of language, this paper presents an analysis of the term nasciturno, which arose as a lapse in the context of the parleys about the Brazilian bill known as Estatuto do Nascituro. We discuss the entailments between the order of language and the order of the discourse in the emergence of discursive lapses, which are nonstandard lexical structures repeated in many contexts and not connected to a sole speaker’s speech. From the pondering that exteriority is constitutive of language and of the effects of poetry in it, we propose an analysis of the event of the term nasciturno, showing the imbrication between linguistic form, meaning incompleteness and its crossing by unconscious and by ideology.Keywords: language lapses; discursive lapses; unconscious and ideology; language, discourse and poetry.
A experiência da morte na poesia de Max Martins

Published: March 2017

Este trabalho propõe a interpretação da questão Morte na poesia de Max. Hoje, a Morte reduziu-se a conceitos, e passa, e passa, comumente, a não mais ser vista como questão que provoca o pensamento. Isto ocorre em função do esquecimento da questão do Ser, o qual caracteriza nossa era. Paralelamente, ão do Ser, o qual caracteriza nossa era. Paralelamente, o questionar e o pensar foram engessados devido à interpretação da tradição metafísica sobre o real. Porém, em Max Martins, principalmente na obra O estranho O estranho O estranho O estranho O estranho (1952), (1952), (1952), (1952), por meio do exercício da memória e do relembrar dos mortos, o homem pode novamente vislumbrar seu destino o homem pode novamente vislumbrar seu destino e r questionar -se sobre este fenômeno constitutivo da existência. Assim o fazendo, a experiência da Morte passa a ser vista como o télos da vida, a plenificação da existência humana. Para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, propomos um diálogo, entre outros, com os pensadores Martin Heidegger (2012) e Heráclito de Éfeso 1991). Heidegger (2012) e Heráclito de Éfeso 1991).
REPRESENTAÇÕES DE DOCENTES SOBRE VIOLÊNCIA NAS ESCOLAS: UM ESTUDO EM UMA ESCOLA RIBEIRINHA

Published: March 2017

Resumo: Este trabalho de pesquisa orientou-se pelo objetivo de analisar as representações de professores sobre violência no contexto escolar. A coleta de dados foi realizada em uma Escola ribeirinha e quilombola. Foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica, seguida de entrevistas com seis (6) professores de uma Escola de Estadual de Ensino Fundamental e Médio do Município de Abaetetuba, no Estado do Pará. Os professores entrevistados trabalham no Ensino Médio da Escola Santos André. Com o objetivo de preservar o anonimato, atribuíram-se nomes fictícios na apresentação e discussão dos resultados. Optou-se por agrupar os dados em categorias de significados, ao final foram elencadas nove (9) categorias, quais sejam: O que os professores conversam sobre a violência, formas de violência manifestas na escola, a violência considerada a mais grave, como a violência é trabalhada em sala de aula, como os professores costumam agir diante da violência, a formação sobre violência escolar, a violência na relação professor-aluno, a infraestrutura da escola X violência, consequências da violência para a escola. O referencial teórico-metodológico utilizado assentou-se nos estudos dos seguintes pesquisadores: Franco (2004), Charlot (2002), Fante (2005), Placco (2005), Kodato (2010) e Pedro-Silva (2014). Foi possível constatar a falta de formação docente para lidar com a violência, o vácuo estratégico e o medo dos professores que, embora percebam a complexidade do problema ainda procuram na família a principal origem da violência.Palavras-chave: Violência.
