Authors: Wang Xiaoxi , Liu Bingjian , Sun Xu , Faulon Loïc
Published: December 2024

This study aims to investigate the use of a moxibustion box and propose a new design concept that offers users an easier but safer moxibustion experience. User research, including focus group interviews, user journey maps, user personas, and literature reviews, identified middle-aged and elderly women as the target users of moxibustion. They often struggle with accurately locating treatment acupoints. Expert research, comprising expert interviews and a literature review, highlighted the strength of heat-sensitive moxibustion in locating acupoints. Market research, involving market segmentation, competitor analysis, and target market, identifies that existing products are limited to the demonstration and introduction of acupoints. Through technical testing, mood boards, idea iteration, prototyping, and material selection, the new concept evolved into an integrated moxibustion box design, named ‘Shan Jiu’. In the new moxibustion box design, the locator uses thermal imaging technology to help users find heat-sensitive points, while the box employs aerogel materials to estimate the remaining treatment time. The product employs mountain semantics, providing a sense of calm and tranquility, aiding in relaxation. Modular combinations of the product allow for simultaneous moxibustion on multiple points. This study does not only contribute to a better understanding of the user behavior with moxibustion box, but also explores the novel way to integrate cutting-edge technology to Traditional Chinese Medicine.

It is crucial to obtain the position information of the moving train for railway safety, such as Automatic Train Protection System, Train Interlocking System, Railway Section Occupation and son. Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is an optical instrument that use optical fibers as sensors for vibration signal perception. This technology can sensitively capture vibration signals around the optical fibers, and has the ability to work under humid and strong electromagnetic interference environments. In this paper, a train tracking method based on distributed acoustic sensing is proposed. This method can achieve the real-time measure of a running train on position, speed and direction parameters. In order to identify and track the vibrations of moving trains, we proposed a Convolutional neural network for recognizing the moving train. Compared with traditional machine learning methods, the deep learning can eliminate the need for laborious feature extraction. it is show bye the field test that our approach can achieve 98.61% correct tracking.

Authors: Li Zhiyi , Zhang Songtao , Meng Fanlei , Zhang Lijuan
Published: December 2024

Imaging results under outdoor conditions are easily affected by foggy weather which may produce blur, low contrast, intensity shift and other visual degradation effects. This paper proposed an accessing model of fog density based on discrete wavelet transform features of multi-channel mean subtracted contrast normalized coefficients. Besides, corner feature intensity is utilized to extract high-level features of foggy images. The accessing model used support vector regression to predict fog density with the help of a fog density accessing dataset collected from human eyes. The experimental results show that the subjective accessing method proposed in this paper has a high correlation with human eyes accessing results on the testing dataset, and is better than the general referenceless image spatial quality evaluator model. The accessing model can reflect the image quality as human eyes in foggy scenes.

Authors: Zhu Qinghui , Wang Chenxi , Chen Jiacheng , Zhou Shengwen
Published: December 2024

Currently, the problem of drug crop cultivation is becoming more and more serious globally, and the traditional means of identification can no longer meet the practical needs due to its inefficiency and high error rate, which highlights the urgency of developing new identification techniques. To address this challenge, this study adopts the following approach: first, we collected a large amount of image data of poppies and corn; subsequently, we trained these images with YOLOv8 algorithm for in-depth deep learning, with a view to achieving high-precision recognition of poppies. In addition, we also innovatively combined drone technology with computer recognition technology, a move that not only enhances the flexibility of recognition, but also ensures the accuracy of recognition, especially in solving the identification problem of illicitly cultivated poppies in hidden areas, which demonstrates a significant advantage. The experimental results show that the YOLOv8 algorithm obtains the highest F1 score when the confidence threshold is set to 0.4, and is able to accurately distinguish poppy from corn poppy, which fully validates the effectiveness of the method.
Reformulating Progressive Fiqh of Talak (Divorce): A Contemporary Study of the Principle of Making Divorce More Difficult in SEMA No. 1 of 2022 for Women's Protection
Authors: Laras Shesa  , Muhammad Abu Dzar  , Elkhairati  , Henny Septia Utami
Published: December 2024

This study aims to analyze the reformulation of progressive fiqh of Talak (divorce), with a focus on SEMA No. 1 of 2022, which emphasizes the principle of making divorce more difficult in the interest of protecting women. In the context of Islamic law, divorce has often been considered a unilateral right controlled by the husband, potentially neglecting the rights of women. SEMA No. 1 of 2022 was introduced as a response to this issue, offering a fairer and more just approach for all parties involved. This research employs a library research method, reviewing legal literature, official documents, as well as the views of legal scholars and practitioners regarding the implementation of this policy. The analysis results show that the reformulation of the fiqh of divorce in SEMA No. 1 of 2022 provides a better platform for protecting women's rights in divorce proceedings, including encouragement for mediation and peaceful dispute resolution. Furthermore, this study identifies challenges in the application of this principle on the ground, including cultural and social resistance. This research is expected to contribute to the development of family law in Indonesia that is more responsive to the needs of women, as well as to raise awareness of the importance of justice for all parties in the context of divorce. This study serves as an important reference for further research on fiqh of divorce and women's protection policies within the framework of contemporary Islamic law.
Quantum Coherence Between Mass Eigenstates of a Neutrino Can Be Destroyed by Its Mass-Momentum Entanglement
Authors: Zheng Shi-Biao
Published: December 2024

If a neutrino or antineutrino produced in the decay of an unstable particle is not entangled to its accompanying particles, its mass is necessarily correlated with its momentum. In this manuscript, I illustrate that this entanglement would destroy the quantum coherence between the neutrino’s mass eigenstates in both the momentum and position representations, which was overlooked by other authors in previous investigations of entanglement and coherence associated with neutrino oscillations. I further point out that the states of a neutrino and an electron become nonseparable after their charged-current interaction. This nonseparability leads to decoherence for neutrinos propagating in matter, but was not taken into consideration in previous investigations of the matter effect.
Statistical Mechanics of Cosmological Systems Taking into Account Negative Temperatures
Authors: Fimin Nikolay
Published: December 2024

In the paper author considers a new method for constructing quasi-equilibrium thermodynamics of a system of gravitationally interacting particles with the modified (by including a cosmological term) Newton potential. Since the dynamics of each pair of particles changes fundamentally with increasing distance between them, The work uses a technique previously used for similar behavior of vortex structures by L. Onsager . In this case, the concept of negative temperature in the system associated with the definition of the kinetic temperature of A.A. Vlasov. We constructed the approximating expressions for the configuration integral and the full statistical sum of the canonical ensemble in the case of negative temperatures. A methodology for studying quasi-equilibrium manifolds in the system under study is proposed.
Quantization of Nonlinear Transmission Line Dynamics With Noise: Some Remarks on Noise in Quantum Field and Quantum Neural Network Theories
Authors: Parthasarathy Harish , Rai Manish , Yadu Rakesh , Kumar Anup
Published: December 2024

This paper starts with a basic formulation of a distributed parameter transmission line with memristor per unit length in series and also memristor per unit length in parallel apart from the other standard distributed parameters. The result of having memristors distributed along the line is a nonlinear effect in the form of coupling between charge and current and coupling between charge and voltage. These nonlinear effects result in the generation of an infinite number of higher harmonic components along the line even when the input voltage is of a fixed frequency or a finite superposition of voltages of different frequencies. Taking into account random white noise line loading effects, we formulate the resulting line equations based on KCL and KVL in the form of an infinite dimensional nonlinear stochastic differential equation. We study the problem of quantizing the transmission line dynamics using the well known Hudson-Parthasarathy theory of quantum stochastic differential equations derived from the Hudson-Parthasarathy noisy Schrodinger equation constructed from an appropriate transmission line Hamiltonian and Lindblad operators. We then conclude by discussing the effect of quantum stochastic noise and quantum stochastic supersymmetric noise on the action functional of a field theory and how such a model can be used to obtain corrections to the quantum effective action functional or more precisely, to the TPCP map that evolves an initially mixed state of the field to another mixed state after a finite duration. Some remarks on training and testing of quantum neural networks based on the Belavkin quantum filter are presented. This involves constructing a quantum evolution of a mixed state in such a way that the evolving pdf of a system observable will be obtained from the conditional expectation of the noisy quantum state given non-demolition measurements that are strongly correlated with actually measured signals.

FISCAL INSTRUMENTS FOR INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM
Authors: Gut Ievhen
Published: December 2024

The article presents a discussion of the significance of fiscal instruments within the context of the social security system, and their influence on the process of inclusive development. The author underscores the expanding significance of public finance in confronting social challenges. Effective fiscal policy has the potential to diminish economic inequality, enhance access to social services, and elevate the living standards of vulnerable groups. In the context of the current challenges faced by states, especially in the context of globalisation and economic crises, fiscal instruments are acquiring new functions. The study reviews the existing literature on fiscal instruments, social security and inclusive development in order to establish the theoretical basis of the topic. The impact of fiscal instruments on socio-economic indicators is analysed using quantitative methods, which permit the identification of patterns between tax policies, public spending and poverty indicators. The qualitative analysis, which encompasses interviews with experts and focus groups, offers a more profound comprehension of the mechanisms underlying the implementation of fiscal instruments in social security. Furthermore, the paper undertakes a comparative analysis of fiscal policies in different countries, thereby enabling the identification of successful models for the integration of fiscal instruments into social security strategies. The evaluation of the efficacy of fiscal instruments is predicated upon an examination of social development indicators, encompassing the reduction of poverty, enhanced accessibility to education and healthcare. In order to optimise fiscal policies and ensure inclusive development, it is necessary to improve coordination between government agencies, enhance transparency in the utilisation of financial resources and facilitate increased public participation in social policy formulation. The findings of the study demonstrate that fiscal instruments play a pivotal role in the social security system, not only enhancing living standards but also guaranteeing economic justice. The implementation of these instruments necessitates a systematic approach that encompasses effective collaboration between all stakeholders and the adaptation of optimal international practices to local conditions. The article highlights the necessity for further research and analysis of fiscal policies within the context of inclusive development, which will contribute to the creation of a more equitable society.

Foundations and future directions for causal inference in ecological research
Authors: Siegel Katherine , Dee Laura
Published: December 2024

Ecology often seeks to answer causal questions, and while ecologists have a rich history of experimental approaches, novel observational data streams and the need to apply insights across naturally occurring conditions pose opportunities and challenges. Other fields have developed causal inference approaches that can enhance and expand our ability to answer ecological causal questions using observational or experimental data. However, the lack of comprehensive resources applying causal inference to ecological settings and jargon from multiple disciplines create barriers. We introduce approaches for causal inference, discussing the main frameworks for counterfactual causal inference, how causal inference differs from other research aims, and key challenges; application of causal inference in experimental and quasi-experimental study designs; appropriate interpretation of the results of causal inference approaches given their assumptions and biases; foundational papers; and the data requirements and trade-offs between internal and external validity posed by different designs. We highlight that these designs generally prioritize internal validity over generalizability. Finally, we identify opportunities and considerations for ecologists to further integrate causal inference with synthesis science and meta-analysis and expand the spatiotemporal scales at which causal inference is possible. We advocate for ecology as a field to collectively define best practices for causal inference.

A termékenységtudatosság aktuális szempontjai
Authors: Fülöp Vilmos , Kalmár László
Published: December 2024

A gyermekvállalás átlagos életkora a férfiak és nők esetében is kitolódott, az életkor előrehaladtával azonban mind a női, mind a férfi termékenység romlik. A petesejtekben egyre több belső sejthiba alakul ki és csökken energiatermelő képességük. Ezek a hibák a sejtek osztásakor (meiózis) az embrionális DNS-szálak helytelen szétválását okozhatják, ami végül kóros embriókhoz vezet. A petesejtek minőségében szerepet játszanak mindazok a környezeti tényezők is (epigenetikai hatások), amelyek a szervezeten belül, vagy azon kívül hatnak rájuk. A petesejtminőséggel kapcsolatos kóros eltérések főként a mitokondriumok támogatására szolgáló antioxidánsokkal, dehidroepiandroszteronnal, glutation-támogatással, valamint a stressz csökkentésével kezelhetők. Az ideális testsúly rendkívül fontos a termékenység megőrzése szempontjából. Mind a túl magas, mind a túl alacsony testsúly termékenységi zavarokat okozhat. Az anyai elhízás és az ennek alapjául szolgáló inzulinrezisztencia szignifikáns, rövid és hosszú távú kockázati tényezőként hatnak az anyára és magzatára egyaránt. A magzati programozásban fontos szerepet játszhatnak a hisztiotróf táplálás szerkezetében fellépő változások. Az embrió túl korai expozíciója a reaktív oxigéngyökök számára jelentős befolyással lehet mind az embrióra, mind a placentára is, illetve a későbbi felnőtt szervezet morbiditására is. A prenatális anyai orális pre- és probiotikus kezelés olcsó, biztonságos és hatékony beavatkozási pontot jelenthet a betegségek megelőzésében. Az endometrium receptivitása kifejezetten anyagcsere és mikrobióm függő. Az egyik legfontosabb faktor, amely megzavarhatja a spermiumok funkcionális állapotát a kövérség kiváltotta oxidatív stressz által megnövekedett reaktív oxigéngyökök mennyisége. Az életkor előrehaladtával a spermiumok DNS-szerkezete is romlik.

A modern korban egyre gyakoribb az előrehelyezett fejtartás (forward head posture – FHP) előfordulása. A dominánsan sagittalis síkban mutatkozó helytelen tartás izomegyensúly-felboruláshoz, fájdalmakhoz és következményes mozgásszervi károsodásokhoz vezethet az adott régióban. A kutatás célja ezen jelenség vizsgálata és a fizioterápia jelentőségének igazolása. A vizsgálat 38 fő bevonásával zajlott (24 nő; átlagéletkor 21,93 ±2,19 év). A felmérés során a résztvevők fájdalmukat 0–10-es numerikus skálán jelölték, a fizikális mérési egység inspectio és palpatio után fal-occiput távolság meghatározást, izom maximális megnyújthatósági vizsgálatot, valamint fotóelemzés alapú craniovertebralis-, váll- és fejdőlés szögmérést tartalmazott. Az eredmények az átlag 5,29 ±2,16 fájdalomérték mellett a fej (34%) és a vállak (61%) előrehelyezettségét mutatták a résztvevőknél, továbbá közepes súlyossági kategóriába sorolható fal-occiput távolságot és a nyaki extensorok, a m. sternocleidomastoideus, a m. levator scapulae és a m. trapezius felső rostok nyújthatóságának csökkenését (61%) jelezték. A résztvevők többségénél mutatkoznak a testtartási problémák jelei, igazolva a helyes testtartás ismertetésének, a tartás korrekciójának és a célzott mobilizáló, erősítő és nyújtó gyakorlatsorok alkalmazásának relevanciáját. A vizsgálati módszerek alátámasztották a tartási szögek mérésének alkalmazhatóságát.
THEORETICAL AND APPLIED FRAMEWORK FOR THE STUDY OF SOCIAL INCLUSION IN HIGHER EDUCATION
Authors:   Kyiv National Economic University named after Vadym Hetman, Tsymbaliuk Svitlana
Published: December 2024

Today, the implementation of the priority of social inclusion should become an integral part of the policy of higher education institutions (HEIs), due to the increasing number of people with health problems, which creates barriers to obtaining education and continuing to work in the previously acquired profession. The purpose of the study is to analyse approaches to developing social inclusion indicators and to develop methodological foundations for assessing social inclusion in educational institutions. Based on critical generalisation, the methodological foundations for developing tools for studying social inclusion in HEIs have been formulated. The methodology for developing the tools is based on the modern vision of social inclusion in education as the involvement of all students regardless of their characteristics. A comparative analysis of the approaches of various international organisations and scholars to the development of social inclusion indicators has been carried out. Social inclusion indicators for HEIs have been proposed based on the generalisation of different approaches to selecting social inclusion indicators and the established methodological principles. To formulate the indicators, the;input resources - processes - results; approach has been used. Indicators for measuring input resources have been formed in the following dimensions: policy; educational environment and financial resources; communication; curriculum and teaching materials; teacher training and leadership and educational management. Indicators for measuring the educational process include indicators in the context of the following dimensions: climate in HEIs; teaching and didactic practices; organisation of education and individual support. Outcome indicators include indicators that characterise the engagement and success of students. The expert survey method has been used to determine the reliability and significance of the developed social inclusion indicators. HEIs can use the proposed tools to assess the implementation of social inclusion priorities at the institutional level.

The Strategic Role of Local Elites and the Concept of Tourism Village Development in Pandeglang Regency
Authors: Fitriyah Neka , Zainal Anna Gustina , Sarwoprasodjo Sarwititi
Published: December 2024

Pandeglang Regency is home to numerous potential tourism villages dispersed across various locations; however, their management remains fragmented and lacks comprehensive stakeholder involvement. This study examines the participation and role of local elites in tourism village development through a qualitative approach involving in-depth interviews and observations. The findings reveal that Community-Based Tourism (CBT), emphasizing community participation in organizing, managing, and developing tourism independently with self-awareness, is the most suitable concept for the region. Local elite participation manifests in two forms: mechanical participation, driven by external systemic requirements, and organic participation, arising from the elites’ intrinsic awareness and commitment. The political roles of local elites are categorized as opinion leaders generating and disseminating ideas, mediators bridging aspirations and interests among stakeholders, and decision-makers formulating and implementing policy decisions. It is recommended that tourism village development actively involves local elites to ensure shared responsibility and accountability in addressing potential challenges.

Theoretical framework: Many methodologies have been developed in the past to perform time series forecasting, including those presented by the two scientists (Box and Jenkins) and known as (ARIMA) models (Box et al., 2015), It gives more reliable forecasts when analyzing time series for linear compounds, but they are less suitable when dealing with nonlinear compounds that characterize real-world problems. This causes an increase in forecasting error, so it has recently been demonstrated use of hybrid models that compounds linear and nonlinear the best forecast is obtained.
Design/methodology/approach: Using the hybrid model (EVDHM-ARIMA) and comparing with single model (ARIMA) and comparing the two models using the (RMSE) criterion to forecast the average yield per dunum of the harvested area for the wheat crop in Iraq for the period (2024-2033), given the strategic importance of this crop in providing food security for the country.
Findings: The showed, value of (RMSE) for the estimates obtained from the hybrid model (EVDHM-ARIMA), is the best for forecasting of the research data.
Research, Practical & Social implications: We suggest generalizing the research idea for forecasting in different fields and comparing it with other forecasting methods.
Originality/value: Adopting the forecasting values obtained from the proposed method in the annual agricultural plans and developing proactive solutions to meet the citizen’s need for his daily sustenance.
