Formation of Art Design Skills (Crossover Point) in the Process of University Education
Authors: Humenyuk Tetiana 
Published: March 2022

Abstract

Introduction: The actualization of crossover point design activities in modern artistic practice is due to the growing mass demand for entertainment. The musical and theater project involves the introduction of new technologies. Creation of synthesized art “crossover-projects” requires the efforts of a group of managers and performers, taking into account the demands of the art market, their complex perception by a wide audience, and non-traditional approaches to staging classical works, taking into account the peculiarities of the location.

Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to characterize art “crossover-projects” in the context of present culture and to reveal the method of preparation of future specialists to art design during getting university education. The article analyzes the methodology of training future specialists for art design in the process of their university education. The need for such an approach is due to the fact that the functioning of artistic culture in public practice is carried out in accordance with the laws of business, in which the commercial component is of decisive importance. Modern art projects have a high cost, as they involve the support and participation of creative individuals and groups.

Results: The growing demand for modern cultural projects containing a creative search, creative component has made it necessary to introduce the corresponding disciplines into the KNUKiM (Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts) curriculum for master students of creative specialties (audiovisual art and production, theatrical art, musical art, choreographic art), as well as design protection of graduation work in the form of a master’s creative project. The formation of a creative project within the framework of a master’s program is an important element of the formation of skills of the theorist and the practice of artistic culture in their harmonious combination.

Discussion: The phenomenon of design activity - “crossover point” and its distribution in modern artistic practice are characterized. Their polyfunctionalism, “manufacturability” and focus on mass character induce to creative methods that are not burdened with the experience of the past. Indicative in this respect is the design activity of Filevskaya - art manager, sponsor of many projects dedicated to Ukrainian avant-garde art, founder of the public organization “Malevich Institute”. Her work fits into the concept of “crossover projects”.

Conclusion: Preparation for art design within the framework of university education provides for the necessary lines of intersection of various art branches, specialties and specializations, encouraging students to create a synthetic artistic product at the intersection of various types of arts and aesthetic and artistic traditions, since the “purity” of art is no longer a criterion for creativity and professional success.

An Experimenter's Experiences in Early Commercial Suborbital Flight
Authors: Collicott Steven H. 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The emerging commercial suborbital rocket industry in the U.S. presents new opportunities for research and education missions. Some companies have been publicized by the world's media and others are lower-profile. Additionally, some companies were created for the space tourism market and others have no current plans to fly humans at all. Most companies already have a Payload User's Guide published at their websites. The time for experimenters to take note of this industry is now, because in early 2014 a number of these companies were already operational or in flight test phase of their business development. When thousands of dollars, instead of millions for traditional NASA or European Space Agency (ESA) sounding rockets, are needed for a suborbital flight, many more researchers will be able to afford suborbital testing and research. In general, these rocket companies seek to provide at least three minutes of high-quality weightless test times from approximately 60 km to 100 km in altitude, and back to 60 km. Purdue University has been fortunate to have secured numerous launches for small payloads during these developmental and early operational years of the industry. Lessons from these launches include lessons in design, payload environment, procedures, launch site infrastructure, and travel preparations.

Abstract

Introduction
Seal parapoxvirus (SPPV) infection has been reported among pinnipeds in aquaria in Japan; however, its seroprevalence is unknown. Therefore, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for serological diagnosis of SPPV infection.

Material and Methods
The gene encoding the major envelope protein of SPPV was cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pAcGFP1-N1, which encodes the green fluorescence protein (GFP), thereby producing a fusion protein (Env-GFP). Parental and cloned vector DNA was independently transfected into cultured seal cells for the expression of GFP and Env-GFP. The wells of an ELISA plate were coated with either GFP- or Env-GFP-transfected cell lysates. The light absorbance of each serum sample was adjusted by subtracting the absorbance of GFP-coated wells from that of Env-GFP-coated wells. Sera from two spotted seals (Phoca largha), six beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas), three Pacific white-sided dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obliquidens), and ten bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from an aquarium in Japan were examined using the ELISA.

Results
Positive reactions were not observed, except in one preserved sample collected ten years ago from a naturally SPPV-infected spotted seal.

Conclusion
The established ELISA could be useful in screening marine mammal sera for anti-SPPV antibodies.

Abstract

Introduction
The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between biosecurity as scored on the Italian National Animal Welfare Reference Centre (Centro di Referenza Nazionale per il Benessere Animale – CReNBA) checklist and the prevalence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, Chlamydophila abortus and Neospora caninum on dairy farms located in Ragusa, Italy.

Material and Methods
The checklist was used to assign an animal welfare score to 31 dairy farms. Twenty-one farms with a moderate score (>33%, <66%) formed group 1, and 10 farms with a high score (>66%) were group 2. Blood samples were collected from all cows on each farm to investigate the titres of antibodies against the relevant pathogens. Two-way analysis of variance was applied to assess differences between the two experimental groups and the Mann–Whitney test was applied to evaluate prevalence differences in the tested parasites between the groups.

Results
All tested farms had a score that classified them as either good or excellent. A higher incidence of Neospora caninum was observed in group 1. The incidences of the other two parasites were no different between the two groups.

Conclusion
The CReNBA checklist represents an impartial, reproducible, functional and smart instrument based on risk analysis and assigns a farm a mathematical animal welfare score. Among the parasites tested for, only Neospora caninum had prevalence influenced by biosecurity. Our preliminary results highlighted the positive associations between good animal welfare, high levels of biosecurity, and the prevention of the infectious diseases caused by the parasites in our focus, which are common on dairy farms.

Authors: Cîrstolovean Lucian 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
In this paper we propose to present the analysis of energy consumption for heating for a building in the design phase depending on the conditions of location in the field. We analyzed 3 variants of the location of the building. Establishing the location of the location for a building according to the estimation of energy consumption in the project phase is in accordance with the requirements established in Directive 2010/31 / EU. Design decisions can also have an impact on land use, resource use and the production of waste and emissions throughout the life cycle of the building.

Authors: Popescu Cristian , Ștefan Dumitriu Cristian 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Identification of areas susceptible to flash floods is essential to establish measures that will help the population in case of a hazard. Therefore, the purpose of the present article is to identify the areas that present a high susceptibility to flash-floods in the Vărbilău catchment. The area, located in the Prahova region, was chosen due to the complexity of the hydrological phenomena. To determine the susceptibility to flash floods, the Flash Flood Susceptibility Index (FFSI) was calculated by integrating ten factors that play an essential role in the flash floods formation. Areas located downstream and in the middle of Vărbilău basin present a low risk, while locations in the northwest (upstream of Luţu Roşu and Scurteşti) present a high risk to flash-floods due to steep slope, narrow valleys, solid rocks, and land use.

Authors: Gabriela Draghici , Cosmin Filip , Nicolae Bizu Alexandru 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
The changes occurred on the climate are a reality that produces changes within the socio-economic environment. Climate change is largely due to greenhouse gas emissions generated by human, domestic and economic activities. In this climate, the constructive solutions of buildings must take into account climate changes and meet new requirements. In this context, building materials must improve and correspond to the new paradigm so as to fulfill their basic role, namely:

-
creating an indoor climate corresponding to the hygienic-sanitary and thermal,

-
comfort requirements in residential and socio-cultural buildings,

-
ensuring the necessary indoor climate for carrying out economic activities reducing, as much as possible, the energy consumption for space heating.

Traditional Methods and Techniques Used for Earthen Buildings
Authors: Șeitan Tudorel , Grămescu Ana Maria 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
In all arid regions of the globe, but also in those with temperate climates, earth was the predominant building material. In modern times, at least a third of the planet’s population lives in earthen houses. The task of providing the necessary construction materials is proving to be quite difficult, even in highly developed countries. Moreover, the irrational exploitation of resources and the elevated levels of production and consumption is not only a waste, but also a source of environmental pollution. In this context, we can talk about the earth as a naturally abundant material that could be the most important resource for construction. It can be both a low-cost building material, but also a material that can meet the current requirements for efficient, low-carbon emission and low-carbon footprint housing.
Criteria and Procedures of Analysis Applicable in the Evaluation of the Archaeological Heritage

Published: March 2022

Abstract
The implementation of the European policy in the field of built heritage involved, for each country, the creation of the legal, administrative and financial means necessary for the implementation of the rehabilitation policy. The research procedures and the intervention measures must be correlated with the degree of damage (degradation) of the materials, as an effect of earthquakes that the construction has endured, of others specific exploitation actions, differential land settlements, uncontrolled human interventions or environmental factors. Archaeologists around the world have developed a procedure for evaluating archaeological resources, so it appeared in the early 1970s, an example being that developed by Schaffer and Gumerman in 1977. Archaeological sites have the ability to demonstrate how the society functioned at a given time, the level of civilization, the progress of science and technology, what processes have taken place, how the activity unfolded and the extent of a technological practice or other occupation history. They can demonstrate the main characteristics of a place or process that may be rare or common. In the article, the authors develop the principles that lie at the base of quantifying the values of archaeological heritage, presenting some case studies.

Aspects Regarding Movila Verde-Independenta Water Supply Duct Protection from Water Hammer
Authors: Nițescu Claudiu , Constantin Anca 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
In the context of sustainable development effort, the water supply systems in the rural area of Constanta County should be optimally designed, so that their safe, efficient operation is assured. The results obtained by numerical simulation showed that Movila Verde -Independenta water supply duct might be subject of cavitation occurrence during hydraulic shock. Further investigations showed that the duct is adequately protected by a relatively short closing law of the check valve and three air valves mounted in the nodes where cavitation might occur. Minimal pressure increases from -10 mwc to -0.6 mwc because of these protection measures. Furthermore, the slight increase of maximal pressure does not require additional protection devices.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Whistleblowing is hazardous in a world of pervasive surveillance, yet many leading newspapers expect sources to contact them with methods that are either insecure or barely usable. In an attempt to do better, we conducted two workshops with British news organisations and surveyed whistleblowing options and guidelines at major media outlets. We concluded that the soft spot is a system for initial contact and trust establishment between sources and reporters. CoverDrop is a two-way, secure system to do this. We support secure messaging within a news app, so that all its other users provide cover traffic, which we channel through a threshold mix instantiated in a Trusted Execution Environment within the news organisation. CoverDrop is designed to resist a powerful global adversary with the ability to issue warrants against infrastructure providers, yet it can easily be integrated into existing infrastructure. We present the results from our workshops, describe CoverDrop’s design and demonstrate its security and performance.

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Browsing privacy tools can help people protect their digital privacy. However, tools which provide the strongest protections—such as Tor Browser—have struggled to achieve widespread adoption. This may be due to usability challenges, misconceptions, behavioral biases, or mere lack of awareness. In this study, we test the effectiveness of nudging interventions that encourage the adoption of Tor Browser. First, we test an informational nudge based on protection motivation theory (PMT), designed to raise awareness of Tor Browser and help participants form accurate perceptions of it. Next, we add an action planning implementation intention, designed to help participants identify opportunities for using Tor Browser. Finally, we add a coping planning implementation intention, designed to help participants overcome challenges to using Tor Browser, such as extreme website slowness. We test these nudges in a longitudinal field experiment with 537 participants. We find that our PMT-based intervention increased use of Tor Browser in both the short- and long-term. Our coping planning nudge also increased use of Tor Browser, but only in the week following our intervention. We did not find statistically significant evidence of our action planning nudge increasing use of Tor Browser. Our study contributes to a greater understanding of factors influencing the adoption of Tor Browser, and how nudges might be used to encourage the adoption of Tor Browser and similar privacy enhancing technologies.
