,,Rettung des Weltklimas aus dem Geiste der deutschen Ode“? : Dimensionen einer lyrischen Form bei Marion Poschmann
Authors: Rasch Marielena
Published: January 2025

Abstract Der Beitrag beleuchtet die Ode in Marion Poschmanns Werk als paradigmatische Gattung reflektierter Neuschöpfungen, in der sich historische Signatur und Potential für formale Experimente verbinden. Die durch Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock geprägte Gattungsentwicklung
von antikisierenden zu freirhythmischen Strophen nachzeichnend, entwickelt Poschmann von Grund zu Schafen (2004) über Geistersehen (2010) bis hin zu Nimbus (2020) neue ,ökologische‘ Formen der Ode ‐ ganz ihrem ökokritischen Programm einer ,,Revitalisierung
der Ode“ entsprechend, das an Klopstocks ,subjektive Gefühlspoetik‘ anschließt und den Menschen für ein empathisches Naturverständnis sensibilisieren soll.This article examines the ode in Marion Poschmann’s work as a paradigmatic genre of reflected
new creations, in which historical signature and potential for formal experimentation are combined. Tracing the development of the genre shaped by Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock from antique-like to free-rhythmic stanzas, Poschmann develops new ,ecological‘ forms of the ode ‐ from
Grund zu Schafen (2004) to Geistersehen (2010) to Nimbus (2020) ‐ entirely in keeping with her ecocritical programme of a ,,revitalization of the ode“, which follows on from Klopstock’s ,subjective emotional poetics‘ and is intended to sensitize
people to an empathetic understanding of nature.

Authors: Sunthornwat Rapin , Areepong Yupaporn , Sukparungsee Saowanit
Published: January 2025

The primary objective of this research is to propose explicit formulas for the Average Run Length (ARL) of the Double Exponentially Weighted Moving Average control chart (DEWMA) for the Seasonal Moving Average process (SMA (Q)L) with exponential white noise. The Numerical Integral Equation by the midpoint rule is employed to compare the results derived from the formulas and evaluate their accuracy using the percentage of accuracy (%Acc). The DEWMA control chart's efficacy is measured by calculating the average run length (ARL), median run length (MRL), and standard deviation of run length (SDRL). Significant agreement was observed between the numerical approximations and the explicit formulations for SMA(2)4 and SMA(3)12 processes. This finding indicates the formulations are sufficiently precise. A comparison of Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) and DEWMA control charts relating to mean process variations is performed. For practical data, WTI oil prices are used to determine the efficacy of the explicit formula approach.

Published: January 2025

This study investigates whether audit fees are impacted by board diversity and ownership structure. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between board diversity through the board of directors’ composition which includes the size of the board, the composition of independent members, multiple directorships of the board, board gender diversity, and CEO tenure) —as well as ownership construction which includes Ownership concentration, foreign concentration, and intuitional concentration) and audit features namely, audit fees. Secondary data, which is intended to be gathered from the annual reports of Jordanian enterprises as financial and auditing data, has been used to address this. The control variables are client size, leverage, business complexity, sales internationally, and asset return. The study relationships are tested by using OLS regression. This study also seeks to inspect whether gender diversity on the board influences audit fees. The findings illustrate that some aspects of governance mechanisms influence audit fees This research implies that there is a strong positive correlation between audit fees and ownership concentration, which further supports the notion that financial reporting is reliable. The results indicated a depressing relationship between independent directors' audit fees and the duration of CEOs. Additionally, the findings demonstrated that board size hurt audit fees. The board of directors (many directorships) had a statistically significant impact on the audit fees, according to the results. The results of this study suggest that a key factor in determining audit fees and audit quality is board diversity and ownership structure.
Hotel Marketing Performance and Tourism Dynamics in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand
Authors: Supriadi Bambang
Published: January 2025

This study employs the Bayesian VAR (BVAR) method, using annual data from the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) spanning from 1995 to 2022. Its objective is to analyze the relationship between hotel marketing performance, the number of hotel guests, tourist arrivals, and tourism expenditure in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. The study’s findings reveal that while travel spending is the variable most affected by other factors, hotel marketing performance significantly influences variations and impulsive reactions from other variables. Internal factors positively impact hotel marketing performance, whereas external factors have a negative effect from the previous quarter. This suggests that other factors do not significantly affect changes in hotel marketing performance. Furthermore, the hotel’s intrinsic value and the preceding period’s tourism expenditures positively impact the number of hotel visitors and travel expenditures. In the previous period, both internal and hotel guest values contributed to increased total arrivals, indicating growth in both tourist numbers and hotel guests. Travel expenditure is favorably influenced by its value and other factors from the previous time frame, reflecting increased spending in line with rising visitor demand. Interestingly, variations exist among the three nations regarding hotel marketing effectiveness, hotel guest counts, tourist arrivals, and tourist spending. While Indonesia performs well in hotel marketing, it still experiences the effects of the economic downturn. Malaysia stands out for its stable performance and the highest number of hotel guests. Thailand, despite significant fluctuations in visitor arrivals and spending, leads in certain aspects. Overall, this research has implications for governments, hotel management, travelers, academics, and researchers, advancing tourism marketing theory and practice.

Magnetic Resonance-guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) is a relatively new treatment which combines the precision of radiological imaging with the therapeutic potential of focused ultrasound, promising a non-invasive treatment for different conditions. The objective of this work was to apply Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to identify the main factors that influence the efficacy of MRgFUS treatment.Thirty-six neurological patients with medication-refractory tremor (n=19 Parkinson’s Disease (PD); n=17 Essential Tremor (ET)) were treated with a commercial MRgFUS brain system (ExAblate Neuro 4000, InSightec) integrated with a 1.5T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) unit (Sigma HDxt; GE Medical System). We applied PCA, using Kaiser’s criterion, to guide principal component maintenance. The most significant variables for these components, based on the magnitude of their loadings, were maximum energy delivered (Joule) for PC1 (eigenvalues=3.85), indicating the influence of energy delivery; Cerebrospinal Fluid Volume (CSV) normalized for PC2 (eigenvalues=2.55), highlighting CSF; White Matter Volume (WMV) normalized for PC3 (eigenvalues=1.50), reflecting WMV; and active elements for PC4 (eigenvalues=1.18). Few studies has highlighted the influence of energy delivery on treatment outcomes, aligning with our results where maximum energy delivered (PC1) demonstrated a predominant impact. In conclusion, the application of PCA, as guided by Kaiser’s rule, has not only facilitated a robust analysis of MRgFUS treatment variables but also set a benchmark for future research in this field. This study contributes to support the clinical value of PCA as a powerful analytical tool to personalize, precision-focused neurological treatment.
CRISPR Technology for Adenocarcinoma: Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer
Authors: Morris Dylan
Published: January 2025

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most fatal cancers, with a five-year survival rate of just 7.2% of diagnosed patients. The current treatments available for pancreatic cancer are often unsuccessful, creating a pressing need for more effective therapeutic options. CRISPR gene editing has emerged as a powerful tool with the potential to revolutionize cancer treatment strategies. Experiments using CRISPR in animal models have successfully stopped pancreatic cancer progression. CRISPR-based treatment strategies can work at different levels to control the progression of the disease. This review discusses three approaches that can be used to treat pancreatic cancer using CRISPR technology, which includes gene editing to silence harmful mutations, regulate the release of harmful biochemical factors, and use bacterial species to attack solid tumors. Mutations in 4 genes, namely KrasG12D, TP53, and BRCA 1&2, can be manipulated with the help of CRISPR technology. Controlled release of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α can regulate tumor development, and genetically manipulated bacterial species can directly attack the tumor cells.
An Efficient Numerical Study for Anisotropic Nonlinear Models of Competitive Swimming Species
Authors: Chamoun Georges
Published: January 2025

Traditional mathematical modeling and computational efforts have primarily focused on isotropic and linear diffusion or convection of living organisms, assuming uniform motion in all directions. However, these traditional models fail to capture the complexities of the real world where competitive interactions among species in nature often involve spatially heterogeneous and anisotropic diffusive behaviors. Another challenging aspect of such modeling involves scenarios in uid dynamics, where species' movements are in uenced by the ow of the medium. Besides the well-posedness of the mathematical model, this paper is also devoted to investigate an efficient and robust combined finite volume-nonconforming finite element scheme for two-species chemotaxis- uid models including all layers of complex geometrical configurations. Moreover, numerous simulations through a developed code, cover the anisotropic dynamics of species in uids which ensures the scheme's applicability to real-world biological problems. Furthermore, the training data generated through this exible generalized numerical method may be enhanced with artificial intelligence techniques to improve the predictive capabilities.

Published: January 2025

This paper describes the quantitative measurement of stress when wearing an oxygen device. Stress was quantified in two ways. One is objective stress and the other is subjective stress. Furthermore, the relationship between these two stresses was evaluated. As a result, objective stress was significantly increased by wearing an oxygen device. Also, subjective stress was significantly increased in two of five items expressing negative emotions. Regarding the relationship between objective stress and subjective stress, we showed that SAA, which is an index of objective stress, and FI, which represents fatigue of subjective stress, correlated with a correlation coefficient of 0.51. Wearing an oxygen mask increased SAA levels in saliva, suggesting that mask wearers may be feeling stressed. Furthermore, it was shown that the objective stress indicated by salivary amylase may indicate the degree of fatigue. It is thought that a higher degree of stress can be evaluated by combining the objective stress evaluation method and the subjective stress evaluation method.
Self-consistent Estimation of Ordinary Differential Equation Parameters Describing Dynamical Systems: A Case Study of COVID-19 in Germany
Authors: Kyriakidis Loukas , Kyriakidis Michail
Published: January 2025

Nowadays, the estimation of parameters for ordinary differential equations (ODEs) from historical data (time series) in optimization problems presents various challenges. These challenges include convergence to local minima when applying traditional optimization methods, inaccurate integration methods of ODEs during the optimization process, and inaccurate cost functions. To address these issues, we propose a novel methodology for estimating the parameters of ODEs that describe dynamic systems in fields such as biological populations, disease spread (e.g., COVID-19). Our methodology is based on the integration of trajectory simulation, optimization of a cost function using noisy data, and heuristic search algorithms such as genetic algorithms for minimization. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this methodology through one use case in this work: the evolution of the COVID-19 disease in German society during the first wave. The results show a highly accurate methodology capable of reproducing real-world curves with high precision.

Membrane nanofiltration technology is an efficient method for wine dealcoholization and concentration of various bioactive compounds and has a vast number of applications in wine production. To obtain optimal features of the obtained products, both the parameters and the mode of filtration, as well as the characteristics of the used filtration membrane, are of great importance. In this study, nanofiltration of the native Bulgarian red wine Mavrud via MaxiMem Prozesstechnik GmbH filtration system, completed with polymer membranes was performed. Rejection coefficients of ethanol and selected wine compоnents were measured and their increase with applied pressure (10 to 50 bar) was observed. Cross-flow flat sheet nanofiltration with polymer membranes was performed in concentration and diafiltration mode. Partial dealcoholization (5-8% EtOH) was obtained with good preservation of the remaining composition. Depending on the degree of dealcoholization and the characteristics of the membranes, a loss of 0 to 24% anthocyanins, 8 to 19% polyphenols, and 2 to 30% ORAC activity was observed.

Published: January 2025

This legal research explores the jurisprudential aspects of smart contracts in the context of Jordanian civil legislation. Smart contracts, which are digital programs based on blockchain technology, have emerged as a disruptive force with the potential to revolutionize traditional contractual relations. They autonomously execute binding agreements by adhering to pre-programmed instructions when specific conditions are met, thereby obviating the need for intermediaries. The growing global prominence of smart contracts makes their compatibility with and implications for the legal framework in Jordan an imperative subject of inquiry. Nevertheless, the integration of smart contracts into the existing legal framework presents distinctive challenges, especially within the milieu of Jordanian civil legislation. This research paper aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the stance of Jordanian civil legislation regarding smart contracts. By evaluating the compatibility between smart contracts and prevailing legal structures and an exploration of potential ramifications, this study contributes to the discussion concerning the convergence of technological innovation and legal frameworks within the Jordanian context. To achieve this goal, the study utilizes a descriptive, inductive, and analytical approach. The study concluded that the implementation of smart contracts presents legal challenges related to confirming digital mutual consent, aligning legal definitions with blockchain assets, and addressing enforceability concerns associated with self-execution. However, the study puts forth a range of recommendations, with the most significant being the development of mechanisms within smart contracts to confirm the mutual consent of contracting parties through the use of digital identity verification tools and electronic signatures.

Authors: Hajrulla Shkelqim , Özer Özen , Demir Taylan
Published: January 2025

We deal with the development of a seat occupancy detection algorithm for the University’s library utilizing the Faster R-CNN algorithm. The university’s library is widely used by students, particularly during exam season when it can become difficult to find a seat. Going from one building to another is often time-consuming and useless when there are no available seats. This system uses the features of Faster R-CNN in a way to facilitate an automatic seat occupancy monitoring system. Unlike conventional methods of using manual monitoring or weights and occupancy switches as inanimate indicators, it provides real-time seat availability data which allows no human intervention to be a part of the process. Data collection and model training evaluation are considered using annotated datasets with images of library seating layouts. The Faster R-CNN model is trained such that it can accurately detect vacancy or occupancy at library seats. This work takes a futuristic approach towards smart library management systems, in which user needs are changing, and considers the use of high-end computer vision technologies to be integrated into all such libraries. The proposed system aims to leverage the effectiveness of Faster R-CNN and go a long way in redefining seat occupancy management for university libraries by enabling better efficiency, resource utilization, as well as user satisfaction in prospect.

Artikel ini menganalisis bagaimana kaidah-kaidah fiqh, seperti ad-dharar yuzal (kemudaratan harus dihilangkan), al-‘adah muhakkamah (kebiasaan dapat menjadi hukum), dan al-yaqin la yuzal bil syakk (keyakinan tidak dapat dihilangkan dengan keraguan), diterapkan dalam praktik transaksi modern. Pendekatan Maqashid Syariah juga digunakan untuk memastikan bahwa setiap transaksi mendukung kemaslahatan (maslahah) dan mencegah kerusakan (mafsadah).Studi ini menemukan bahwa penerapan akad-akad klasik seperti salam, istishna’, dan mudharabah dapat disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan era digital. Namun, tantangan tetap ada, seperti kurangnya pemahaman masyarakat tentang fiqh muamalah, perkembangan teknologi yang cepat, dan kebutuhan fatwa yang berkelanjutan. Artikel ini menegaskan bahwa fiqh muamalah tidak hanya bersifat normatif, tetapi juga dinamis, memungkinkan integrasi antara prinsip syariah dan inovasi modern. Dengan pendekatan konseptual ini, fiqh muamalah dapat terus relevan sebagai pedoman utama dalam transaksi ekonomi kontemporer.

Berdasarkan tujuan penelitian, desain penelitian ini adalah deskriptif dan kausal-komparatif. Sampel diambil secara acak sebesar 100 mahasiswa. Data yang telah terkumpul dianalisis menggunakan analisis persentase dan analisis varians multivariat (MANOVA).
