PROSPECTS FOR STUDYING THE WORK OF F.M. DOSTOEVSKY IN THE LIGHT OF ETHNOPOETICS
Authors: Фёдорова Е.А.
Published: May 2022

В статье рассматриваются современные проблемы межкультурной коммуникации на примере восприятия и переводов романов Ф.М. Достоевского. Показаны перспективы развития этнопоэтики как науки, изучающей своеобразие национальных литератур. Для понимания художественного мира Достоевского необходимо обращаться к учению А.А. Ухтомского о «заслуженном собеседнике», а также к традициям древнерусской словесности в произведениях великого русского писателя. В жанровом содержании произведений Достоевского необходимо выявить устойчивые жанровые образования, восходящие к древнерусской словесности (проложная повесть, летопись, молитва, проповедь, исповедь, поучение, видение), идейные и жанровые доминанты произведений. Сопоставление творчества Достоевского и древнерусской словесности должно затронуть специфику сюжета и композиции произведения, своеобразие хронотопа, поэтической образности, определение идейных доминант в картине мира, отношения к факту и вымыслу, евангельскому и святоотеческому слову, специфику диалога автора с героем и с читателем.

The article deals with modern problems of intercultural communication on the example of perception and translations of F.M. Dostoevsky's novels. The prospects for the development of ethnopoetics as a science studying the uniqueness of national literatures are shown. So, to understand the artistic world of Dostoevsky, it is necessary to refer to the teachings of A.A. Ukhtomsky about the «honored interlocutor», as well as to the traditions of Old Russian literature in the works of the great Russian writer. In the genre content of Dostoevsky's works, it is necessary to identify stable genre formations that go back to ancient Russian literature (a literary story, chronicle, prayer, sermon, confession, teaching, vision), ideological and genre dominants of the works. The comparison of Dostoevsky's creative work and ancient Russian literature should touch upon the specifics of the plot and composition of the work, the originality of the chronotope, poetic imagery, the definition of ideological dominants in the picture of the world, attitudes to fact and fiction, the gospel and patristic word, the specifics of the author's dialogue with the hero and with the reader.

Penggunaan berbagai macam aplikasi berbasis internet sudah meluas di Indonesia. Didukung dengan berbagai macam perangkat yang mampu mengaksesnya di kalangan remaja, terutama siswa sekolah pada bangku pendidikan di SMA. Gaya hidup serba mobile dan aktivitas penunjang akademis siswa di luar pendidikan formal, cukup menyita waktu. Sehingga waktu belajar secara tradisional pun semakin sedikit. Perkembangan teknologi yang pesat juga berdampak pada dunia pendidikan. Memanfaatkan teknologi, keterbatasan akses informasi dan materi belajar, terutama keterbatasan ruang dan waktu dapat dijembatani dengan menggunakan E-learning. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mencari tahu, faktor-faktor apa saja yang dapat mempengaruhi siswa SMA di Indonesia untuk mau mengadopsi E-learning. Sebuah model teoritis dibuat berdasarkan sejumlah penelitian sebelumnya dan memanfaatkan model dasar Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) dan konstruksi E-learning yang spesifik. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuesioner berbasis online. Data akhir yang terkumpul berjumlah 517 data dari siswa SMA di Indonesia. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) digunakan untuk menganalisis dan pengolahan model teoritis menggunakan software AMOS. Faktor-faktor dalam model teoritis adalah Self-Efficacy, Social Influence, Computer Anxiety, Prior Experience, Facilitating Conditions, dan Perceived Enjoyment. Bentuk dasar TAM yang digunakan meliputi Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, dan Behavioral Intention. Dalam proses Factor Analysis, Facilitating Conditions dihapus dari model teoritis, karena tidak mampu menunjukkan posisi konvergen dan diskriminan. Faktor Perceived Usefulness dan Perceived Enjoyment adalah dua faktor yang paling mempengaruhi Behavioral Intention di dalam proses adopsi E-learning. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan Perceived Enjoyment memiliki pengaruh secara langsung dan positif pada Perceived Usefulness yang tertinggi dibandingkan faktor lainnya. Self-Efficacy memiliki pengaruh secara langsung dan positif pada Perceived Ease of Use yang tertinggi dibandingkan faktor lainnya. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, maka dapat ditekankan, bahwa untuk mencapai tujuan agar seseorang mau mengadopsi E-learning, instansi terkait harus menunjang kebutuhan penerapan E-learning dengan berfokus pada sisi manfaat dan kepuasan yang menyenangkan pengguna dalam pengalamannya menggunakan E-learning

MACHINE LEARNING FOR TEXT CLASSIFICATION IN BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Authors: Mesa-Jiménez Jose Joaquin , Stokes Lee , Yang QingPing , Livina Valerie N.
Published: May 2022

In building management systems (BMS), a medium building may have between 200 and 1000 sensor points. Their labels need to be translated into a naming standard so they can be automatically recognised by the BMS platform. The current industrial practices often manually translate these points into labels (this is known as the tagging process), which takes around 8 hours for every 100 points. We introduce an AI-based multi-stage text classification that translates BMS points into formatted BMS labels. After comparing five different techniques for text classification (logistic regression, random forests, XGBoost, multinomial Naive Bayes and linear support vector classification), we demonstrate that XGBoost is the top performer with 90.29% of true positives, and use the prediction confidence to filter out false positives. This approach can be applied in sensors networks in various applications, where manual free-text data pre-processing remains cumbersome.

Secondary eclipse observations of hot Jupiters can reveal both their compositions and thermal structures. Previous observations have shown a diversity of hot Jupiter eclipse spectra, including absorption features, emission features, and featureless blackbody-like spectra. We present a secondary eclipse spectrum of the hot Jupiter WASP-77Ab observed between 1 and 5 μm with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Spitzer Space Telescope. The HST observations show signs of water absorption indicative of a noninverted thermal structure. We fit the data with both a one-dimensional free retrieval and a grid of one-dimensional self-consistent forward models to confirm this noninverted structure. The free retrieval places a 3σ lower limit on the atmospheric water abundance of

and cannot constrain the CO abundance. The grid fit produces a slightly superstellar metallicity and constrains the carbon-to-oxygen ratio to less than or equal to the solar value. We also compare our data to recent high-resolution observations of WASP-77Ab taken with the IGRINS/IGRINS spectrograph. We find that the best-fit model to the IGRINS data gives a reduced chi squared of χ2
ν = 1.32 when compared to the WFC3 data. However, the metallicity derived from the IGRINS data is significantly lower than that derived from our self-consistent model fit. We find that this difference may be due to disequilibrium chemistry, and the varying results between the models applied here demonstrate the model dependence of derived metallicities when comparing to low-resolution, low-wavelength coverage data alone. Future work to combine observations from IGRINS, HST, and the James Webb Space Telescope will improve our estimate of the atmospheric composition of WASP-77Ab.

Published: May 2022

It is well established that brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), residing in the centers of galaxy clusters, are typically massive and quenched galaxies with cD or elliptical morphology. An optical survey suggested that an exotic galaxy population, superluminous spiral and lenticular galaxies, could be the BCGs of some galaxy clusters. Because the cluster membership and the centroid of a cluster cannot be accurately determined based solely on optical data, we followed up a sample of superluminous disk galaxies and their environments using XMM-Newton X-ray observations. Specifically, we explored seven superluminous spiral and lenticular galaxies that are candidate BCGs. We detected massive galaxy clusters around five superluminous disk galaxies and established that one superluminous spiral, 2MASX J16273931+3002239, is the central BCG of a galaxy cluster. The temperature and total mass of the cluster are

⊙. We identified the central galaxies of the four clusters that do not host superluminous disk galaxies at their cores, and established that the centrals are massive elliptical galaxies. However, for two of the clusters, the offset superluminous spirals are brighter than the central galaxies, implying that the superluminous disk galaxies are the brightest cluster galaxies. Our results demonstrate that superluminous disk galaxies are rarely the central systems of galaxy clusters. This is likely because galactic disks are destroyed by major mergers, which are more frequent in high-density environments. We speculate that the disks of superluminous disk galaxies in cluster cores may have been reformed due to mergers with gas-rich satellites.
Retrieval Study of Brown Dwarfs across the L-T Sequence
Authors: Lueber Anna , Kitzmann Daniel , Bowler Brendan P. , Burgasser Adam J. , Heng Kevin
Published: May 2022

A large suite of 228 atmospheric retrievals is performed on a curated sample of 19 brown dwarfs spanning the L0–T8 spectral types using the open-source Helios-r2 retrieval code, which implements the method of short characteristics for radiative transfer and a finite-element description of the temperature–pressure profile. Surprisingly, we find that cloud-free and cloudy (both gray and nongray) models are equally consistent with the archival SpeX data from the perspective of Bayesian model comparison. Only upper limits for cloud properties are inferred if log-uniform priors are assumed, but the cloud optical depth becomes constrained if a uniform prior is used. Water is detected in all 19 objects, and methane is detected in all of the T dwarfs, but no obvious trend exists across effective temperature. As carbon monoxide is only detected in a handful of objects, the inferred carbon-to-oxygen ratios are unreliable. The retrieved radius generally decreases with effective temperature, but the values inferred for some T dwarfs are implausibly low and may indicate missing physics or chemistry in the models. For the early L dwarfs, the retrieved surface gravity depends on whether the gray-cloud or non-gray-cloud model is preferred. Future data are necessary for constraining cloud properties and the vertical variation of chemical abundances, the latter of which is needed for distinguishing between the chemical instability and traditional cloud interpretation of the L-T transition.
Probing the Early History of Cosmic Reionization by Future Cosmic Microwave Background Experiments
Authors: Sakamoto Hina , Ahn Kyungjin , Ichiki Kiyotomo , Moon Hyunjin , Hasegawa Kenji
Published: May 2022

Cosmic reionization imprints its signature on the temperature and polarization anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Advances in CMB telescopes have already placed a significant constraint on the history of reionization. As near-future CMB telescopes target the maximum sensitivity, or observations limited only by the cosmic variance (CV), we hereby forecast the potential of future CMB observations in constraining the history of reionization. In this study, we perform Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis for CV-limited E-mode polarization observations such as the Lite (Light) satellite for the studies of B-mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection (LiteBIRD), based on a few different methods that vary in the way of sampling reionization histories. We focus especially on estimating the very early history of reionization that occurs at redshifts z > 15, which is quantified by the partial CMB optical depth due to free electrons at z > 15, τ

z>15. We find that reionization with τ

z>15 ∼ 0.008, which is well below the current upper limit τ

z>15 ∼ 0.02, is achievable by reionization models with minihalo domination in the early phase and can be distinguished from those with τ

z>15 ≲ 5 × 10−4 through CV-limited CMB polarization observations. An accurate estimation of τ

z>15, however, remains somewhat elusive. We investigate whether resampling the E-mode polarization data with limited spherical-harmonic modes may resolve this shortcoming.

We present 370 candidate eclipsing binaries (EBs), identified from ∼510,000 short cadence TESS light curves. Our statistical criteria identify 5105 light curves with features consistent with eclipses (∼1% of the initial sample). After visual confirmation of the light curves, we have a final sample of 2288 EB candidates. Among these, we find 370 sources that were not included in the catalog recently published by Prša et al. We publish our full sample of 370 new EB candidates, and statistical features used for their identification, reported per observation sector.
Physico-mechanical properties, antimicrobial activities, and anti-biofilm potencies of orthodontic adhesive containing cerium oxide nanoparticles against Streptococcus mutans
Authors: Pourhajibagher Maryam , Bahador Abbas
Published: May 2022

Introduction: White spot lesions around orthodontic brackets may lead to the formation of dental caries during and following fixed orthodontic treatment.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the physico-mechanical properties and antimicrobial potencies of orthodontic adhesive doped with cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2-NPs) against Streptococcus mutans.

Materials and methods: After synthesis and conformation of CeO2-NPs by transmission electron microscope (TEM), shear bond strength (SBS) and adhesive remnant index (ARI) of modified orthodontic adhesive containing different concentrations of CeO2-NPs (0, 1, 2, 5, and 10 wt%) were measured. The antimicrobial effects of modified orthodontic adhesive were evaluated by disk agar diffusion method and biofilm formation inhibition assay.

Results: The pseudo-spherical shapes of CeO2-NPs were observed in TEM micrographs. The physico-mechanical finding showed that 5 wt% CeO2-NPs showed the highest concentration of CeO2-NPs and SBS value (18.21±9.06 MPa, p<0.05) simultaneously with no significant differences in ARI compared with the control group (p>0.05). There was a significant reduction in cell viability of S. mutans with increasing CeO2-NPs concentration. The 3.1 Log10 and 4.6 Log10 reductions were observed in the count of treated S. mutans with 5 and 10 wt% CeO2-NPs, respectively (p<0.05).

Conclusions: Overall, an orthodontic adhesive containing 5 wt% CeO2-NPs had antimicrobial properties against S. mutans without adverse effects on SBS and ARI.
Taxonomic delimitation and molecular identification of clusters within the species Zanthoxylum nitidum (Rutaceae) in China

Published: May 2022

Zanthoxylum nitidum, known as Liang-Mian-Zhen in China, is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant used to treat traumatic injury, rheumatism, paralysis, toothache, stomach ache, and venomous snake bites. Two varieties of the species have been described and three morphological types have been reported within the original variety. However, taxonomic delimitation and molecular markers for distinguishing these varieties and types within this species remain unknown. Since different populations exhibit varying chemical compositions, easy identification of intraspecific taxa is crucial. We collected 420 individuals from 38 natural populations, 3 samples of standard medicinal material, and 17 folk-medicine samples to perform classification and identification within Zanthoxylum nitidum. Four distinct genetic clusters (A, B, C, and D) were highly supported by the nuclear barcode. Two distinct chloroplast clusters (A1 and A2) were further detected within A, and three others had one-to-one correspondence with the remaining nuclear clusters. Molecular identification showed that the 17 folk samples comprised A1, A2, B, and D, while the 3 standard samples belonged to A2. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and rbcL gene are proposed as barcodes for rapid and accurate identification of the different Liang-Mian-Zhen lineages in China. This study highlights the importance of accurate taxonomic delimitation in combination with rapid and accurate molecular identification of medicinal plants.

Integrative taxonomy of coastal Cafius bistriatus (Erichson) species complex (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae)
Authors: Yoo In-Seong , Frank J. H. , Jung Jong-Kuen , Ahn Kee-Jeong
Published: May 2022

A systematic review of the marine littoral Cafius bistriatus (Erichson) along the eastern Pacific and the western Atlantic coasts including the Caribbean Sea is presented based on morphological and molecular (COI and 28S) characters. Specimens of the Cafius bistriatus species complex [C. bistriatus, C. rufifrons Bierig, and C. sulcicollis (LeConte)] are similar to each other, including the form and structure of the aedeagus, and they can be treated as cryptic species. Detailed micromorphological characters (SEM) and molecular analyses support the validity of these three species. Intraspecific genetic divergence of COI using uncorrected p-distance among individuals of Cafius bistriatus ranged from 0% to 1.56%, while interspecific divergence among three species ranged from 4.90% to 14.59%. All three species were each supported as a single lineage using COI and 28S on both parsimony and maximum likelihood trees. Morphological characters among C. bistriatus, C. rufifrons, and C. sulcicollis are compared. Cafius bistriatus fulgens Frank is synonymized under C. bistriatus and Cafius bistriatus is redescribed with illustrations of diagnostic characters.

Published: May 2022

Résumé Le témoignage d’une victime, recueilli lors d’une enquête judiciaire, est parfois la seule preuve disponible avec celle du présumé auteur d’un crime ou délit. Lorsque la victime est mineure, l’audition est parfois marquée par un vocabulaire pauvre, un récit minimal et une vulnérabilité aux suggestions introduites au travers de questions trop suggestives. Afin d’optimiser les témoignages récoltés, plusieurs protocoles d’audition basés sur des données probantes ont été développés ces dernières décennies. Nous proposons de présenter le protocole du nichd (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development) qui fait actuellement l’objet de formations auprès d’enquêteurs de police et de la gendarmerie en France.

De la simulation
Authors: Gout Frédéric
Published: May 2022

La simulation et le choix de théâtres « virtuels » aident le soldat à tourner la page des engagements antérieurs aux contraintes désormais connues et l’oblige à penser autrement, en intégrant des difficultés nouvelles. Il doit en effet en permanence sortir de sa zone de confort et développer cette capacité à acquérir de l’expérience dans des situations simulées réalistes et parfois extrêmes. Une expérience paradoxalement virtuelle, car obtenue en simulation lors d’exercices complexes ainsi rendus possibles. Elle lui permettra de dépasser la technique du pilotage, même difficile, pour se concentrer sur la situation tactique, c’est-à-dire le combat en cours, et sur l’optimisation de l’utilisation du système d’armes de l’hélicoptère.

La lutte armée au Congo et au Cameroun. Un acteur inattendu : le Parti communiste italien
Authors: Siracusano Gabriele
Published: May 2022

Cette étude vise à analyser les rapports entretenus par l’UPC (Union des populations du Cameroun) et le MNC (Mouvement national congolais) avec l’un des plus importants partis communistes d’Europe occidentale : le Parti communiste Italien (PCI). L’histoire de ces partis est lue à travers un regard à la fois « européen » et « global », connecté aux évènements internationaux et aux changements intervenus à l’intérieur du mouvement communiste. Les communistes italiens, qui refusent la violence révolutionnaire en faveur d’une « voie démocratique » vers le socialisme, entretiennent des contacts avec deux organisations qui ont choisi la lutte armée, l’UPC et le MNC. Dans ces deux mouvements coexistent des idéologies différentes. Les Camerounais ont une aile « modérée », moins inspirée des principes du marxisme-léninisme, et une aile « dure », proche du Parti communiste français, mais aussi de l’idéologie maoïste. Les militants du MNC, rassemblés autour d’Antoine Gizenga, ont des contacts importants avec l’URSS mais ils font aussi référence au modèle chinois. L’intérêt des Italiens pour les voies socialistes nationales et pour un « polycentrisme » dans le mouvement communiste rapproche le PCI des mouvements anticoloniaux africains, mais les évènements internationaux modifient bientôt ces rapports de solidarité et collaboration.
La gestion partagée de l’eau dans le bassin du fleuve Sénégal : trajectoire, enjeux et perspectives
Authors: Bruckmann Laurent
Published: May 2022

Le bassin du fleuve Sénégal est partagé entre quatre pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest (Guinée, Mali, Mauritanie et Sénégal). La gestion de l’eau transfrontalière est assurée par un organisme de bassin inter-états : l’Organisme de Mise en Valeur du fleuve Sénégal (OMVS). Malgré des besoins en eau divergents, la coopération étatique du fleuve Sénégal est l’une des plus exemplaires et efficaces au monde, grâce à ses outils juridiques. Au départ basée sur une approche sectorielle de valorisation économique des ressources en eau, la gestion de l’eau s’oriente actuellement vers des approches plus consensuelles pour faire face aux enjeux du changement climatique et aux injonctions participatives. En effet, la bonne coopération à l’échelle internationale masque des conflits d’usages et des inégalités observés à des échelles locales.
Stratégies des acteurs et gouvernance des écosystèmes face aux plantes envahissantes dans le Delta du fleuve Sénégal

Published: May 2022

Le barrage de Diama et les ouvrages hydrauliques (réalimentation gravitaire des marigots naturels, franchissement hydraulique, digues latérales dans les rives gauche et droite) qui le complètent ont modifié fondamentalement les effets naturels sur les écosystèmes de la double hydrodynamique fluviale et maritime. Les dynamiques liées au barrage comme la prolifération de plantes aquatiques, l’accélération des processus érosifs du littoral et l’apparition de maladies liées à l’eau ne sont pas souvent maîtrisées. Ces mutations du milieu sont à l’origine d’une nouvelle problématique de développement territorial dans le Delta après avoir suscité durant des décennies des inquiétudes chez les communautés surprises par l’envahissement de plantes aquatiques qu’elles ne connaissaient guère. Ce travail, axé sur une méthode qualitative, démontre le renversement paradigmatique permis par Typha australis en matière de développement territorial.

A study of fixed point sets based on Z-soft rough covering models
Authors: Khan Imran Shahzad , Park Choonkil , Shoaib Abdullah , Shah Nasir
Published: May 2022

Z-soft rough covering models are important generalizations of classical rough set theory to deal with uncertain, inexact and more complex real world problems. So far, the existing study describes various forms of approximation operators and their properties by means of soft neighborhoods. In this paper, we propose the notion of $ Z $-soft rough covering fixed point set (briefly, $\mathcal{Z}$-$\mathcal{SRCFP}$-set) induced by covering soft set. We study the conditions that the family of $ \mathcal{Z} $-$ \mathcal{SRCFP} $-sets become lattice structure. For any covering soft set, the $ \mathcal{Z} $-$ \mathcal{SRCFP} $-set is a complete and distributive lattice, and at the same time, it is also a double p-algebra. Furthermore, when soft neighborhood forms a partition of the universe, then $ \mathcal{Z} $-$ \mathcal{SRCFP} $-set is both a boolean lattice and a double stone algebra. Some main theoretical results are obtained and investigated with the help of examples.
Identification and validation of a tumor mutation burden-related signature combined with immune microenvironment infiltration in adrenocortical carcinoma
Authors: Luo Yong , Chen Qingbiao , Lin Jingbo
Published: May 2022

Tumor mutation burden (TMB), an emerging molecular determinant, is accompanied by microsatellite instability and immune infiltrates in various malignancies. However, whether TMB is related to the prognosis or immune responsiveness of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) remains to be elucidated. This paper aims to investigate the impact of TMB on the prognosis and immune microenvironment infiltration in ACC. The somatic mutation data, gene expression profile, and corresponding clinicopathological information were retrieved from TCGA. The mutation landscape was summarized and visualized with the waterfall diagram. The ACC patients were divided into low and high TMB groups based on the median TMB value and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two groups were identified. Diverse functional analyses were conducted to determine the functionality of the DEGs. The immune cell infiltration signatures were evaluated based on multiple algorithms. Eventually, a TMB Prognostic Signature (TMBPS) was established and its predictive accuracy for ACC was evaluated. Single nucleotide polymorphism and C > T were found to be more common than other missense mutations. In addition, lower TMB levels indicated improved survival outcomes and were correlated with younger age and earlier clinical stage. Functional analysis suggested that DEGs were primarily related to the cell cycle, DNA replication, and cancer progression. Additionally, significant differences in infiltration levels of activated CD4+ T cells, naive B cells, and activated NK cells were observed in two TMB groups. We also found that patients with higher TMBPS showed worse survival outcomes, which was validated in the Gene Expression Omnibus database. Our study systematically analyzed the mutation and identified a TMBPS combined with immune microenvironment infiltration in ACC. It is expected that this paper can promote the development of ACC treatment strategies.
Towards a Grid-Based Framework for Supporting Range Aggregate Queries Over Big Sensor Network Readings
Authors: Cuzzocrea Alfredo , Furfaro Filippo , Saccà Domenico
Published: May 2022

The problem of representing and querying sensor network readings issues new research challenges, as traditional techniques and architectures used for managing relational and object-oriented databases are not suitable in this context. In this paper, the authors present a grid-based framework that supports aggregate query answering on sensor network data and uses a summarization technique to efficiently accomplish this task. In particular, grid nodes are used for collecting, compressing, and storing sensor network readings, as well as extracting information from stored data. Grid nodes can exchange information among each other, so that the same piece of information can be stored (with a different degree of accuracy) in several nodes. Queries are evaluated by locating the grid nodes containing the needed information (either compressed or not) and choosing (among these nodes) the most convenient ones according to a cost model. The authors complete their contribution with a case study that focuses attention on the management and querying of grid-based GIS databases.
Multi-Layer and Clustering-Based Security Implementation for an IoT Environment
Authors: Gupta Deena Nath , Kumar Rajendra
Published: May 2022

IoT devices are having many constraints related to computation power and memory etc. Many existing cryptographic algorithms of security could not work with IoT devices because of these constraints. Since the sensors are used in large amount to collect the relevant data in an IoT environment, and different sensor devices transmit these data as useful information, the first thing needs to be secure is the identity of devices. The second most important thing is the reliable information transmission between a sensor node and a sink node. While designing the cryptographic method in the IoT environment, programmers need to keep in mind the power limitation of the constraint devices. Mutual authentication between devices and encryption-decryption of messages need some sort of secure key. In the proposed cryptographic environment, there will be a hierarchical clustering, and devices will get registered by the authentication center at the time they enter the cluster. The devices will get mutually authenticated before initiating any conversation and will have to follow the public key protocol.
Introducing Fog Computing (FC) Technology to Internet of Things (IoT) Cloud-Based Anti-Theft Vehicles Solutions
Authors: Alreshidi Eissa Jaber
Published: May 2022

Securing vehicles, especially against theft, has become a significant concern. Smart antitheft solutions have emerged to provide better protection. However, most existing smart vehicle antitheft solutions use (GSM) and (GPS) technologies to track stolen vehicles and these technologies are not sufficiently efficient in tracking vehicles in real-time. Hence, there is a need to optimise solutions to incorporate new technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), Fog Computing (FC), and Face Recognition (FR) technologies. This paper introduces the new concept of Fog Computing to existing tracking systems and presents the design and the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) Cloud-based vehicle anti-theft system to pinpoint the exact location of the stolen vehicle in real-time. The proposed system extends the existing tracking systems to include advanced features influenced by advanced computing technologies such as Fog, Cloud, IoT and FR. Furthermore, it sheds light on the benefits of using FC combined with Cloud Computing (CC) to provide a more accurate and reliable tracking system.

Mechanical Behavior of Low Plasticity Clay Soil Stabilized with Rice Husk Ash
Authors: Jayo B. , Durán Gary
Published: May 2022

There is much research on how the addition of rice husk ash (RHA) and lime improves the mechanical behavior of the soil, particularly in clayey soils. RHA is a waste material and polluting for the environment; Therefore, its use can be considered as an economic and ecological alternative. The main objective of this analysis is to determine the influence of rice husk ash (RHA) to stabilize this type of soil. This research is based on the development of an alternative method for the improvement of low plasticity clay soils using an agricultural residue such as rice husk ash and lime for use in civil works. Soil mixtures with rice husk ash were made in different percentages to evaluate its geotechnical behavior as a stabilizer. Laboratory tests like OMC, MDD tend to increase when RHA is added. Shear strength increased as ash was added, where it reached a higher value with the addition of 40% RHA, increasing from 197.70 kPa to 323.00 kPa. Finally, the results obtained show an improvement due to the presence of RHA, however, the investigation is still in process to determine if the addition of higher RHA continues to improve or decrease its shear stress.

Published: May 2022

Blood typing has revolutionized the field of medical science since its discovery about a century ago. Besides its established role in life-saving blood transfusions, researchers have always been curious about the relationship between blood groups and human ailments. The effect of blood groups on disease outcomes, susceptibility, and mortality has been widely explored. According to a particular school of thought, the endemicity of diseases shapes the distribution of blood group frequency in human populations and exert selection pressure favoring one blood type over another. Here we discuss the scope and association of different blood groups in the context of malaria.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the major complication of rhabdomyolysis (RM) clinically, which is usually mimicked by glycerol injection in basic research. Oxidative stress, inflammatory response and apoptosis are recognized to play important roles in development of this disease. Recently, numerous studies have reported the therapeutic effects of molecular hydrogen (H2) on oxidative stress and inflammation-related diseases. Here, the effects of H2 against glycerol-induced AKI and the underlying mechanisms were explored in rats. Low (4%) and high (67%) concentrations of H2 were prepared using a self-made device to investigate the dose-response. After 72 hours of glycerol injection (8 mL/kg), we found that glycerol triggered oxidative stress, inflammatory reactions, and apoptotic events. These caused subsequent renal damage, evidenced by a significant reduction of antioxidases and up-regulation of the relevant damaged biomarkers. H2 inhalation reversed the above alterations and exerted renoprotective effects. Interestingly, for RM/AKI-related factors, no consistent dose-response benefits of H2 were observed. However, higher concentration of H2 inhalation improved histological and morphological changes better. This study suggests that H2 is a potential alternative therapy to prevent or minimize RM induced AKI possibly via its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic and anti-necroptotic properties.

Published: May 2022

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a complex disorder caused by long-standing diabetes. Oxidative stress was considered the critical creed in this DPN pathophysiology. Hydrogen has antioxidative effects on diabetes mellitus and related complications. However, there is still no concern on the beneficial effects of hydrogen in DPN. This paper aimed to evaluate the effects of exogenous hydrogen to reduce the severity of DPN in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Compared with hydrogen-rich saline treatment, hydrogen inhalation significantly reduced blood glucose levels in diabetic rats in the 4th and 8th weeks. With regard to nerve function, hydrogen administration significantly attenuated the decrease in the velocity of motor nerve conduction in diabetic animals. In addition, hydrogen significantly attenuated oxidative stress by reducing the level of malondialdehyde, reactive oxygen species, and 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine and meaningfully enhanced the antioxidant capability by partially restoring the activities of superoxide dismutase. Further studies showed that hydrogen significantly upregulated the expression of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 and downstream proteins such as catalase and hemeoxygenase-1 in the nerves of diabetic animals. Our paper showed that hydrogen exerts significant protective effects in DPN by downregulating oxidative stress via the pathway of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2, which suggests its potential value in clinical applications.
Club stationary reflection and the special Aronszajn tree property
Authors: Ben-Neria Omer , Gilton Thomas
Published: May 2022

We prove that it is consistent that Club Stationary Reflection and the Special Aronszajn Tree Property simultaneously hold on
$\omega _2$
, thereby contributing to the study of the tension between compactness and incompactness in set theory. The poset which produces the final model follows the collapse of an ineffable cardinal first with an iteration of club adding (with anticipation) and second with an iteration specializing Aronszajn trees.

In the first part of the paper, we prove a general theorem about specializing Aronszajn trees on
$\omega _2$
after forcing with what we call
$\mathcal {F}$
-Strongly Proper posets, where
$\mathcal {F}$
is either the weakly compact filter or the filter dual to the ineffability ideal. This type of poset, of which the Levy collapse is a degenerate example, uses systems of exact residue functions to create many strongly generic conditions. We prove a new result about stationary set preservation by quotients of this kind of poset; as a corollary, we show that the original Laver–Shelah model, which starts from a weakly compact cardinal, satisfies a strong stationary reflection principle, although it fails to satisfy the full Club Stationary Reflection. In the second part, we show that the composition of collapsing and club adding (with anticipation) is an
$\mathcal {F}$
-Strongly Proper poset. After proving a new result about Aronszajn tree preservation, we show how to obtain the final model.
