Geometric Morphometrics use in the examination of subgenus Quercus leaf shape variation in Algeria
Authors: Aissi Abdeldjalil , Beghami Yassine 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
The latest findings on the taxonomic review of Quercus faginea Lam. complex using ‘traditional morphometrics’, demonstrating that the species is represented in Algeria by both Q. faginea and Q. canariensis Willd. Significant variations of the leaf form were also discernible among both species. In this study, the landmark-based geometric morphometrics analysis was used to assess the shape variation of the leaves found on oak stands. 2,600 leaves per 13 stands were collected and scanned, and then using Tps range and MorphoJ software, 11 landmarks—that represent the leaf morphological features—were recorded on leaf images. Shape components and non-forms variations were obtained through a full Procrustes fit followed by creating a leaf-superimposed configuration. Principal component analysis, canonical variate analysis, and discriminate analysis were used to statistically evaluate the leaf shape variability. The results revealed no clear distinction between the two species based on leaf shape. Climate change and environmental factors also appear to have possibly caused a divergent morphological evolution; a reduced leaf size with enduring indumentum—among other Q. faginea traits—could be an efficient mean of adapting to Mediterranean xeric conditions.

Published: August 2022

Water is the most basic human need. To maintain the distribution of water runs well, PERUMDAM uses a water pump panel to run and monitor the water pump to keep running. Even so, the water pump can be damaged at any time so PERUMDAM officers do routine activities to check the health of the water pump. Therefore, this article tries to solve the problem by making the design and implementing the IoT-based pump panels.
An IoT-based pump panel is a device that is connected to an Android application to control and monitor the pump panel in real-time. In this study, NodeMCU is used as a center for sensor data retrieval to be sent to Firebase. Android applications can send notifications if there are anomalies in the sensor data. Controlling that can be done by the IoT-based pump panel is changing the mode on the analog pump panel from manual to automatic, and vice versa.
The monitoring data obtained by the IoT-based pump panel is divided into two types. The optocoupler generates data related to the sensors on the analog pump panel in a boolean form. The power meter generates data in the form of values for voltage (R, S, T), current (R, S, T), frequency, and others as needed. The data obtained on the power meter can be used to calculate the power used by the analog pump panel.

Objectives:
The Paris System (TPS) for Reporting Urine Cytology has significantly improved the approach to evaluating urine cytology. TPS criteria were defined mainly according to ThinPrep and SurePath preparations, as they are widely utilized. The objective of this study is to validate urine cytology interpretation according to the TPS classification using cytospin technique in relation to the gold slandered histology.

Material and Methods:
This retrospective study examined and analyzed 316 urine specimens from King Abdulaziz University Hospital between 2015 and 2020. Cytospin technique is performed for all cases. Slides were recategorized using TPS criteria, then compared with the original histology diagnosis.

Results:
According to the TPS, 108 cases were classified as 101 AUC (32%), 95 NEG (30%), 59 HGUC (18.7%), 31 SHGUC (9.8%), and 30 (9.5%) others. The computed sensitivity of cytospin in urine cytology was 94.7%, with 73.9% specificity, a positive predictive value of 85.6%, a negative predictive value of 89.5%, and overall accuracy of 86.8%.

Conclusion:
Urine cytology testing is considered to be a non-invasive and sensitive method to screen for urothelial carcinoma. TPS defined standards are reliable on cytospin prepared slides for reporting urine cytology.
STRATEGIC POSITIONING MODELS OF AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES PRODUCTS AND METHODICAL APPROACHES TO THEIR ANALYSIS
Authors: Kozak Lyudmyla 
Published: August 2022

The article has investigated the models of strategic positioning of products of the agricultural enterprises and proposed methodological approaches to their analysis. Based on a detailed analysis, the goals and possibilities of positioning have been clarified taking into consideration economic parameters, environmental safety indicators and a combination of “price-environmental safety” factors. The author has argued that “Price Challenge” model is the most acceptable and economically feasible in market positioning for large agricultural holdings, which unite a significant part of agricultural enterprises. However, the model forces agricultural enterprises to use high-intensity production technologies and, as a result, increase the level of state support for agricultural production. The emphasis on environmental safety indicators allows producers to increase prices significantly, but requires technology without using fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators, feed additives and more. Despite the fact that the natural soil fertility in Ukraine is high, the productivity of such technologies in terms of crop yields and animal productivity is lower compared to modern intensive production approaches, and therefore the segment needs high government support. The author has suggested that the strategic positioning based on the additional benefit from the combination of factors “price-environmental safety” could be a kind of compromise model for domestic agricultural enterprises. The model assumes that agricultural enterprises will optimize costs, use less intensive production technologies and focus on improved quality of agricultural products and, at the same time, their moderate price. The author has suggested methodical approaches to the analysis of strategic positioning models, which provide a comprehensive assessment of internal and external factors of the conditions of agricultural enterprises activity and proves the feasibility of their application in practice. In particular, the system of indicators for assessing stability of agricultural enterprises market positions in terms of costs is effective in competitive analysis and useful for international comparisons.

Terkait program alih teknologi, suatu program alih teknologi sangat dipengaruhi oleh peran dari baik penerima teknologi maupun pemberi teknologi. Salah satu hal penting dari peran penerima maupun pemberi alih teknologi adalah tentang alasan atau motif atas kesediaan mereka dalam terlibat dalam proses alih teknologi tersebut. Apabila kita dalam melakukan proses alih teknologi tidak memiliki pengetahuan tentang alasan utama pelaku untuk terlibat dalam program alih teknologi, maka transfer untuk program transfer teknologi tersebut berpotensi untuk berakhir dalam kegagalan. Penelitian ini membuka kotak hitam untuk menemukan keinginan utama dari penerima transfer teknologi untuk menerima baik pengetahuan ataupun teknologi yang baru melalui program alih teknologi dengan melibatkan Helices, yaitu Triple Helix yang terdiri dari pemerintah, akademisi dan bisnis sebagai agen teknologi. Dalam penelitian ini terungkap bahwa Program transfer dapat dilakukan dengan sukses bila alasan atau motif penerima alih teknologi. Dan dalam penelitian ini dapat terungkap bahwa motif utama penerima teknologi bersedia terlibat dalam suatu program alih teknologi adalah keuntungan finansial daripada keuntungan akan pengetahuan atau teknologi itu sendiri. Motif ini apabila terpenuhi akan dapat mendorong keberlanjutan dari program alih teknologi yang dijalankan.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Understanding and promoting the CSR is an important societal issue, and circumstances force modern-minded management to abandon the classical model of only the necessary fulfilment of legally set obligations. There has been a lot of study done on employee perceptions of CSR in the workplace, but very little has been done on how employees comprehend CSR and how they received it at their work-place in chosen countries. Research was carried out based on a questionnaire survey with data collection from September 2020 to March 2021, with a total of 1103 respondents. The aim of the article is to describe the CSR concept among employees meaning in selected countries: Zimbwabwe, Czech Republic, Poland. The measuring instrument used in the study was the questionnaire method, in which the research tool is a questionnaire CAWI - Computer Assisted Web Interview. It was shown that enterprises apply CSR activities, but they are not fully aware of the CSR benefits.

Abstract
Young consumers (children and adolescents) play an increasingly important role in the functioning of the modern consumer market. Accordingly, it is becoming more important to promote sustainable, ecological consumption patterns among this group. The authors of the article analysed the results of a survey conducted on a group of 1326 children aged 9 to 15. The purpose was to diagnose the awareness and functioning patterns of consumption among the studied group of young consumers from the Polish market and to formulate a set of recommendations for the process of their ecological, economic and social education aimed at building sustainable consumption patterns. During the research process, an attempt was made to diagnose the ability to identify eleven selected, popular, pro-ecological graphic symbols placed on consumer products, aimed at assessing the skills of young consumers to identify products with better environmental parameters. The collected empirical data was analysed with the R-project program using the following methods: descriptive statistics, nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test and Pearson Chi-square test of independence. As a result of the use of the comparative analysis method, the results of research in individual age groups of young consumers were compared and interpreted. After the research, the authors concluded that the education system lacks actions to consolidate the acquired knowledge in the field of ecolabeling, which results in large disproportions in the recognition of eco-labels both in individual age groups and in relation to selected symbols. It is disturbing that only 12.2% of the interviewed learners indicated the eco-label as a decisive factor in purchasing a food product. The authors of the article believe that among the group of young consumers, actions should be taken to raise awareness of sustainable consumption, and this requires consistent and differentiated steps at all levels of their education.

Досліджуються сучасні методи кодування відеозображень, що активно використовуються в інфокомунікаційних системах спеціального призначення. Аналізуються проблемні аспекти використання алгоритмів сімейства JPEG в процесі кодування відеоданих з позиції забезпечення збереження семантичної складової в умовах необхідного рівня компресійних характеристик. Пропонується принципово новий підхід до процесу обробки відеоінформації, основною відмінною рисою якого є відсутність необхідності переходу від просторового до частотного представлення зображення. Сутність підходу полягає у реструктуризації даних відеоінформаційного ресурсу за кількісною ознакою, що враховує семантичне навантаження елементів відеопослідовності. В ролі інструменту для реструктуризації інформаційного простору виступає кількісний показник, що враховує статистичні закономірності та кореляційні зв’язки елементів. Це дозволяє створити умови для управління якістю реконструйованого відеозображення в умовах забезпечення необхідного рівня компресійних характеристик за рахунок додаткового усунення психовізуальної надмірності повідомлення. Перевагами запропонованої концепції реструктуризації інформаційного простору кодованих даних є створення умов для покращення компресійних характеристик у порівнянні з існуючими алгоритмами в умовах забезпечення необхідного рівня якості.

Authors: Mauck Benjamin M. , Ravichandran Vishnumohan , Mughal Usman Azeez 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Parametric analysis of SRAM cells is widely used to locate faults and analyze device failures, but the pico-probing and bit-line multiplexing required for data acquisition is becoming increasingly difficult. This article explains how the addition of an on-die low-yield analysis circuit eliminates the problem. The simplicity of the measurement circuit and the potential to use a known library of curves, makes low-yield analysis one of the most versatile DFT techniques for cache fault isolation.
Lessons from Sudoku
Authors: Burgess David L. 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Failure analysis requires a working knowledge of physics, technology, materials, manufacturing practices, analytical techniques, and more. It is difficult to imagine what failure analysis would be like if all the laws of physics were perfectly apparent and all the challenges of sample preparation and testing were removed. Eliminating those considerations, failure analysis would be more like Sudoku. Sudoku is a simple number puzzle enjoyed by both children and adults. The simplicity of Sudoku compared to failure analysis is the point. Although Sudoku is starkly simple, the process is challenging to the best of us. Good and bad problem-solving practices are clearly exposed by the experience of solving a few Sudoku puzzles. Some insights that are brilliantly clear in Sudoku are equally true in failure analysis.

OBJECTIVE
The authors’ objective was to investigate the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic on hospital presentation and process of care for the treatment of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). Improved understanding of these effects will inform sociopolitical and hospital policies in response to future pandemics.

METHODS
The Michigan Trauma Quality Improvement Program (MTQIP) database, which contains data from 36 level I and II trauma centers in Michigan and Minnesota, was queried to identify patients who sustained TBI on the basis of head/neck Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) codes during the periods of March 13 through July 2 of 2017–2019 (pre–COVID-19 period) and March 13, 2020, through July 2, 2020 (COVID-19 period). Analyses were performed to detect differences in incidence, patient characteristics, injury severity, and outcomes.

RESULTS
There was an 18% decrease in the rate of encounters with TBI in the first 8 weeks (March 13 through May 7), followed by a 16% increase during the last 8 weeks (May 8 through July 2), of our COVID-19 period compared with the pre–COVID-19 period. Cumulatively, there was no difference in the rates of encounters with TBI between the COVID-19 and pre–COVID-19 periods. Severity of TBI, as measured with maximum AIS score for the head/neck region and Glasgow Coma Scale score, was also similar between periods. During the COVID-19 period, a greater proportion of patients with TBI presented more than a day after sustaining their injuries (p = 0.046). COVID-19 was also associated with a doubling in the decubitus ulcer rate from 1.0% to 2.1% (p = 0.002) and change in the distribution of discharge status (p = 0.01). Multivariable analysis showed no differences in odds of death/hospice discharge, intensive care unit stay of at least a day, or need for a ventilator for at least a day between the COVID-19 and pre–COVID-19 periods.

CONCLUSIONS
During the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of patients who presented with TBI was initially lower than in the years 2017–2019 prior to the pandemic. However, there was a subsequent increase in the rate of encounters with TBI, resulting in overall similar rates of TBI between March 13 through July 2 during the COVID-19 period and during the pre–COVID-19 period. The COVID-19 cohort was also associated with negative impacts on time to presentation, rate of decubitus ulcers, and discharge with supervision. Policies in response to future pandemics must consider the resources necessary to care for patients with TBI.
