Characteristics of lifestyle and attitudes toward motherhood of surrogate mothers in Ukraine
No full textСтаття О.Л. Луценко, В.Р. Цокоти «Особливості способу життя та ставлення до материнства у сурогатних матерів в Україні» націлена на вивчення суб’єктивного ставлення майбутніх сурогатних матерів до вагітності та сурогатного материнства. До завдань дослідження відносилося виявлення особливостей їх соціальної ситуації, способу життя, вольових, моральних, емоційних і мотиваційних якостей, що можуть частково обумовлювати рішення стати сурогатною матерю. 28 жінок, включених у програму сурогатного материнства та три групи порівняння з 20-ма особами в кожній (жінки без дітей, з 1-2 дітьми та багатодітні) відповіли на авторське напівструктуроване інтерв’ю з 25 питань. Виявилося, що майбутні сурогатні матері відрізняються від груп порівняння меншим рівнем освіти, більш частою відсутністю чоловіка або розлученням в сімейній ситуації, недостатньо задовільними житловими умовами, браком матеріального забезпечення. Вони менш ранимі, не схильні до тривалих негативних емоційних станів, мають менше страхів, пов’язаних з вагітністю та пологами, набагато більш позитивно ставляться до сурогатного материнства.The article of O. Lutsenko, V. Tsokota “The characteristics of lifestyle and attitudes to motherhood of surrogate mothers in Ukraine” is aimed to study surrogate mothers’ attitudes to pregnancy and surrogate motherhood. The objectives of the study were to identify the characteristics of their social situation, lifestyle, volitional, moral, emotional and motivational qualities that can partially determine the decision to become a surrogate mother. 28 women included in the program of surrogate motherhood and three comparison groups of 20 people (the women without children, with 1-2 children and with many children) were interviewed using a semi-structured authors’ interview of the 25 questions. It was found that the prospective surrogate mothers differ from comparison groups by less education, more frequent absence of husband or divorce in the family situation, not entirely satisfactory living conditions, lack of material support. They are less vulnerable, are not prone to long-term negative emotional states, have fewer fears associated with pregnancy and childbirth, and are much more positive about the surrogacy

Statistical testing of blockchain hash algorithms
No full textVarious methods are used for statistical testing of cryptographic algorithms, for example, NIST STS (A Statistical Test Suite for the Validation of Random Number Generators and Pseudo Random Number Generators for Cryptographic Applications) and DIEHARD (Diehard Battery of Tests of Randomness). Tests consists of verification the hypothesis of randomness for sequences generated at the output of a cryptographic algorithm (for example, a keys generator, encryption algorithms, a hash function, etc.). In this paper, we use the NIST STS technique and study the statistical properties of the most common hashing functions that are used or can be used in modern blockchain networks. In particular, hashing algorithms are considered which specified in national and international standards, as well as little-known hash functions that were developed for limited use in specific applications. Thus, in this paper, we consider the most common hash functions used in more than 90% of blockchain networks. The research results are given as average by testing data of 100 sequences of 108 bytes long, which means that is, the size of the statistical sample for each algorithm was 1010 bytes. Moreover, each test (for each of the 100 sequences) was considered as an independent observation. In addition, the article presents statistical portraits for each algorithm under study (diagrams of the numbers of passing each test)
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Využití sociálních médií v B2B prodeji
No full textTato diplomová práce se zabývá tím, jak mohou B2B obchodníci využívat sociální média v prodeji. Na základě systematické rešerše literatury, autor zjistil, že akademici, zkoumající danou problematiku, navrhují další výzkum, a to: v kterých konkrétních krocích se dají využít sociální média v prodeji (Salo, 2017). Autor se na základě toho rozhodl zjistit, jaké sociální sítě, různé technologie a pluginy se dají využít v B2B prodeji - tzv. social sellingu. Social selling se v této práci týká primárně procesu akvizice a okrajově péčí o stávající zákazníky. Autor si vybral kvalitativní průzkum pomocí 10 hloubkových polo-strukturovaných rozhovorů, aby odhalil jak, která sociální média to jsou, tak i motivaci prodejců, proč tato média používat/nepoužívat. Aby autor dodržel správnost vyhodnocení výsledků, data byla analyzována pomocí Tématické analýzy, která v této studii vykrystalizovala 2 hlavní strategické přístupy v social sellingu. Tyto přístupy (tzv. Push a Pull strategie) obsahují praktické příklady a konkrétní aktivity, které mohou prodejci využívat v každodenní praxi. Tyto výsledky jsou prezentovány s důrazem na praktičnost a jednoduchost implementace. Tvoří proto hlavní přínos autorovo výzkumu. V poslední části autor zmiňuje výzvy a manažerská doporučení, které mohou obchodníci využít v každodenním pracovním životě.This diploma thesis focuses on social media usage in B2B sales. Based on the systematic literature review conducted by the author, he has found out that recent researchers (Salo, 2017) suggest further research in the area of how and in which sales phase should various social networking sites, technologies and plugins used. To further fill this research gap, author decided to identify these social media and their usage among B2B salespeople in the so-called social selling process. The social selling process in this thesis applies mainly to acquiring new prospects and tangentially to taking care of existing clients (follow-up step). Author has chosen a qualitative research method via conducting 10 in-depth semi-structured interviews to reveal these instruments as well as motivation of a sales person on why to use social media in the selling process. The collected data was analyzed using Thematic analysis to ensure the right procedure and to identify main themes which crystalized into 2 main strategic approaches in social selling. These approaches (Push and Pull) include practical examples of concrete activities which sales people can use in their daily jobs and are presented with focus on practicality and ease of implementation. These also form the main contribution of author`s research. In the last part, author mentions challenges in social selling and recommended managerial implications for salesforce

Kanji-Sudokus: Integrating Chinese and Graphics
Get PDFsummary:Článek představuje metodu, jak lze technicky za pomoci METAPOSTu vykreslit sudoku s čínskými glyfy (kandži). Makra nejsou rozsáhlá a jsou v úplné podobě součástí tohoto článku. Na vykreslení sudoku jen s arabskými číslicemi můžete použít balíček sudoku; na generování, vykreslení a řešení sudoku nahlédněte, prosím, na balíček sudokubundle. Oba balíčky jsou dostupné z ctan.org. Sudoku, česky též magický čtverec, je logická hra, kterou vymyslel Howard Garns v roce 1979. Své obliby se dočkala především v Japonsku, ale prakticky se hraje po celém světě. Cílem hry je doplnit chybějící čísla 1 až 9 v předem dané předvyplněné tabulce. K dříve vyplněným číslům je potřeba dopsat další čísla tak, aby platilo, že v každé řadě, v každém sloupci a v každém z devíti čtverců byla použita vždy všechna čísla jedna až devět. Pořadí čísel není důležité. Čísla se nesmí opakovat v žádném sloupci, řádku nebo ve vnitřních malých čtvercích o devíti polích. Kdo by si to rád zkusil, nechť navštíví např. http://profuvsvet.ic.cz/data/sudoku.html nebo http://sudokuonline.cz/. Přehledně o typech sudoku, jejich algoritmech a matematickém pozadí, viz např. Wikipedie [1]. Za zajímavost stojí, že první mistrovství světa v sudoku v roce 2006 vyhrála Češka Jana Tylová z Ústí nad Labem. Turnaj v sudoku můžete absolvovat např. na mezinárodním festivalu Czech Open. Ustavující Guinnessův rekord drží z 23. února 2008 Pavel Jaselský z Vojtovce na Slovensku.summary:The article illustrates the integration of Chinese and METAPOST on a small example. The author draws a Sudoku grid, not with Hindu-Arabic numerals, but with Chinese numerals. This article demonstrates how straightforward the integration of Chinese and METAPOST has become. The source codes are included as small parts in the article commented in detail.
