The paper discusses the main directions of social development of the Adyghea Republic in the context of increasing challenges to environmental safety. The structure of environmental safety of the region is formed by a system of effective environmental management, mechanisms for preserving the biological and natural diversity of the territory and environmental tools for maintaining public health. The authors confirm the thesis that environmental safety is one of the main indicators of effective management of the subject of the Russian Federation. The need to take into account modern environmental standards in the development and selection of a model of socio-economic development of the region is justified. The publication analyzes measures of state policy in the field of transport infrastructure development aimed at reducing the destructive impact of environmental challenges on the quality of life of the population in the republic. Based on the generalization of the results of sociological studies conducted in the region from 2008 to 2021 by state authorities and the author's research team, the attitude of the population to the environmental situation in the Adyghea Republic is evaluated. It is inferred that it is advisable to develop integrated socio-economic development taking into account the specifics of the natural and biological landscape of the region and improve ecological culture as an instrument to ensure environmental safety and a high level of quality of life for the population.

Esta pesquisa se propõe a discutir sobre o currículo e as relações de gênero na educação infantil. Tem como objetivo refletir como as práticas curriculares na educação infantil reproduzem os preconceitos baseados nas diferenças a partir do sexo. Para isso, nos fundamentamos nas leituras dos seguintes autores: Finco (2005), Ariès (2006), Pacheco (2005), Louro (2001) entre outras/os. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, foram feitos levantamentos bibliográficos e pesquisa documental com foco nas práticas curriculares, relações de gênero na primeira infância e os seus desafios nos dias atuais. Percebemos no decorrer da pesquisa que as práticas curriculares na perspectiva de gênero na educação infantil são compartilhadas ainda hoje sobre as identidades de masculino e feminino como condutas oficiais da sociedade que acabam sendo refletidas na escola. Entendemos no decorrer da pesquisa que o currículo não pode ser posto de maneira neutra, ele requer da/o professora/o um posicionamento crítico sobre sua prática.

Published: November 2021

A bacteriological examination of raw cow milk for the isolation of enteric based bacteria was conducted on milking cows and their handlers from selected farms in four Local Governments in Zaria, Kaduna State. The aim of the study was to check the quality of the raw cow’s milk and also verify the rate of contaminations of the raw cow’s milk from external sources which are regarded as environmental pathogens during and after milking processes. A total of 105 samples; 42 raw milks from lactating cows, 42 swabs from cow teat, 16 swabs from herd handlers and 5 samples from water used in the cleaning process were obtained. The raw milk samples were screened using a Methylene dye reagent to check its microbial load before analysis began, the total bacteria count (TBC) and total coliform count (TCC) were analyzed using the standard cultural methods. The isolates were identified using the standard biochemical procedure and Microgen TM System (GN-ID A+B Kit). Results revealed that one hundred and two (102) bacteria consisting of Seventy-six (76) Polymicrobial and twenty-six (26) single cultures were recovered as positive culture while three (3) had no growth. The mean TBC and TCC of raw milk observed in this study were 2.56 ± 0.40 x104cfu/ml and 1.06 ± 0.16 x104cfu/ml respectively. Acinetobacter iwoffi and other members of Enterobacteriaceae isolates were resistant to tetracycline (68.75%), erythromycin (71.74%) and metronidazole (100%), while high susceptibility was observed to gentamicin (94.34%) and chloramphenicol (80.85%). High bacterial contaminations including Multidrug-resistant bacteria were observed in this study, contaminations were majorly from improper pre and post dipping processes and the use of non-portable water

The concept Sentiment means the feeling, behavior, belief, or attitude towards something that almost being embedded. sentiment analysis is the process of analyzing, extracting, studying, and classifying the various reviews, opinions are given by people, and human’s emictions into positive, negative, neutral. It is considered one of the most significant scientific branches that aim to determine the behavior of the speaker, the attitude of the writer according to some topic, or the overall emotional reaction to website, document, event, interaction, products, or services. many users can share every day various opinions on different topics that may be detected or embedded by using micro-blogging which considered a rich resource for sentiment analysis and belief mining such as Facebook, Twitter, forums, and Blogs. recently a huge number of posted comments, tweets, and reviews of different social media websites include rich information in addition to most of the on-line shopping sites provide the opportunity to customers to write reviews about products in order to enhance the sales of those products and to improve both of product quality and customer satisfaction. manual analysis of these large reviews is practically impossible thus it is needed to discover an automated approach to solving such a hard process. In the Middle East and particularly in the Arab world, social media websites continue to be the top-visited websites especially with the current social and political changes in this part of the world. the main objective of that research is to differentiate between various algorithms and techniques of sentiment analysis and classification dependent on the Arabic language as a little number of researchers discusses that point relevant to the Arabic language. Different algorithms and techniques of data mining such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes (NB), Bayesian Network (BN), Decision tree (DT), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), Maximum Entropy (ME), and Neural Network (NN) in addition to many other alternative techniques which are used for analyzing and classifying textual data. For the reasons of difficulties in analyzing and mining a large number of linguistic words for their Those techniques are estimated based on the Arabic language due to its richness and diversity. The comparison between data mining techniques showed that the most accurate technique is the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. every successful sentiment depends on two essential analysis tools are language and culture.

Passwords act as a first line of defense against any malicious or unauthorized access to one's personal information. With the increasing digitization, it has now become even more important to choose strong passwords. In this paper, the authors analyze a 100 million Email-Password Database to perform Exploratory Data Analysis. The analysis provides valuable insights on statistics about the most common passwords being used, character set of passwords, most common domains, average length, password strength, frequencies of letters, numbers, symbols (special characters), most common letter, most common number, most common symbol, the ratio of letters, numbers, symbols in passwords which highlights the general trend that users follow while creating passwords. Using the results of this paper, users can make intelligent decisions while creating passwords for themselves, i.e., not opting for the most common features that will help them create robust and less vulnerable passwords.

In recent years, with the rapid development of the domestic economy, the concept of sustainable development has been paid more and more attention. Ecological environment protection is more and more important, and the ecological environment is closely related to economic development. How to measure the relationship between the two is very important. Whether it is to build ecological environment protection or to ensure sustainable development of the economy, we should take the green development concept as a guiding concept, promote ecological economic development, and study the integration of ecological data is of great significance for solving these problems. The research of this thesis studies the multi-source heterogeneous (MSH) ecological big data (BD)adaptive fusion based (FM) based on symmetric encryption. This paper sets up a comparative experiment, multi-sensor (MS) data fusion based (DFM) based on Rough set theory, MSH data fusion based on data information conversion. The method is compared with the symmetric fusion MSH BD adaptive FM proposed in this paper. The results show that the MSH DFM based on Rough set theory has the highest confidence of 0.812; the MSH DFM based on data information conversion has the highest confidence of 0.68; based on symmetric encryption MSH BD The fusion confidence of the adaptive FM is up to 0.965, and the MSH ecological BD adaptive FM based on symmetric encryption is superior.
A Feminist Ethics of Abortion
Authors: Réz Anna
Published: November 2021

In feminist philosophy, there is a silent but consistent recurrence of criticisms regarding the mainstream, “liberal” defense of the right to abortion, most prominently exemplified by Judith Jarvis Thomson’s seminal paper “A Defense of Abortion”. In this paper, I explore the feminist proposals of Alison M. Jaggar (1975) and Sally Markowitz (1990) and examine, in light of these, the prospects of a particularly feminist ethics of abortion. I argue that although feminist theorists are right to say that defenses based on bodily autonomy set the wrong agenda for public discourse, thus contributing to a misleading and uninformed debate, Thomsonian arguments still have considerable advantages, both in philosophy and in the public discourse. In particular, while Thomsonian accounts can successfully sidestep the conflict between the mother’s and the fetus’s rights, currently available feminist proposals can meaningfully transform but cannot eliminate this problem.

The Forum, Society for Women Sports Medicine Orthopaedic Surgeons
Authors: Scerpella Tamara A. , Watson Elizabeth M.
Published: November 2021

The Forum is a private, not-for-profit organization for board-certified, fellowship-trained, female orthopaedic surgeons. Founded in 1999, The Forum was conceived as a partnership with women in industry, designed to support women orthopaedic surgeons by providing a place to share research and practice ideas and to stimulate interest and research in arthroscopic surgery. Membership has grown from a handful of founding members to nearly 100 strong in 2021. An annual meeting is held over Martin Luther King, Jr., weekend each year, combining scientific and social programs and highlighted by the Sandy Kirkley Memorial Lecture. The Forum has recently gained notoriety through the work of some of its members in advocating for the protection of athletes from sexual abuse and the publication of the first position statement on the topic, subsequently endorsed by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. A recent partnership with the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and the Arthroscopy Association of North America to provide concurrent sessions at the 2021 combined annual meeting has increased the visibility of the society and its members.
Orthopaedic Management of Loeys-Dietz Syndrome: A Systematic Review
Authors: Lynch Conor P. , Patel Mira , Seeley Andrea H. , Seeley Mark A.
Published: November 2021

Introduction:

Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder associated with aortic aneurysm/dissection in children. However, LDS may also present with a host of orthopaedic conditions. This study aimed to elucidate the management of orthopaedic conditions and associated outcomes in patients with LDS.

Methods:

PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for primary articles regarding the management of orthopaedic conditions in patients with LDS. The goals and findings of each included study were described. Data regarding demographics, conditions studied, treatment modalities, and outcomes were extracted and analyzed.

Results:

Three hundred sixty-two unique articles were retrieved, 13 of which were included, with 4 retrospective cohort studies and 9 case reports representing 435 patients. In total, 19.8% of patients presenting with orthopaedic conditions received surgical treatment;54.3% of them experienced adverse outcomes, and 44.4% required revision surgery. The mean age at surgery was 9.0 ± 2.1 years.

Conclusion:

Patients with LDS may require early surgical intervention for a variety of orthopaedic conditions and may be at an increased risk for surgical complications. The current LDS literature is primarily focused on spinal conditions with a relative paucity of data on the management of hip deformity, joint subluxation, clubfoot, and trauma. Additional research is required regarding orthopaedic management for this unique population.
Dialectal intelligibility of Assamese tested functionally
Authors: Sabbah Qamri
Published: November 2021

This paper includes a detailed discussion on the intelligibility of the speakers of four regional dialects of the Indo-Aryan language of Assamese. Prior research on Assamese dialects mostly being confined to examining structural variation lends this study relevance and urgency. The dialects of Standard Assamese, Central Assamese, Kamrupi, and Goalparia, covering three varieties each, were considered for the study. Using a functional intelligibility testing approach, the rate of overall intelligibility as well as of inter- and intra-dialectal mutual intelligibility of the dialects were determined. 24 speakers (1 male and 1 female from each variety) were asked to record ‘texts’— words, sentences, and connected speech in their native varieties of Assamese. 11 listeners from each variety (132 in total) were then tested on their comprehension of texts from non-native varieties. Thereafter, their rates of comprehension were used to determine the rates of mutual intelligibility between speakers of the different dialects and varieties of Assamese. This paper establishes that the rates of mutual intelligibility are unequal and asymmetric among the dialects— the native speakers of the Standard and Central Assamese dialects were more intelligible to the speakers of Kamrupi and Goalparia than vice-versa. Finally, the paper finds that the rate of intelligibility is the lowest for words in isolation and reinforces the important role of context in intelligibility.
The Cultural Factor in Bible Translation Forty Years Later: A Personal Perspective from Zambia
Authors: Wendland Ernst R.
Published: November 2021

I was first made aware of the crucial cultural factor in Bible translation during a three-week TAPOT workshop led by Eugene Nida at Makerere University (Kampala, Uganda) in 1969. After benefitting then from five years of apprenticeship training under another one of the old masters, Jacob A. Loewen, my official United Bible Societies consultancy work in Zambia began on June 23, 1977. Ten years later I felt confident enough to put down some of my thoughts on the subject of The Cultural Factor in Bible Translation in the UBS Monograph (#2) title of that name. However, that book had a very narrow theoretical and contextual focus; it certainly did not deal with everything that needed to be said about “the cultural factor” as it relates to the production of a given Bible translation in a specific language and social setting. Older now, and hopefully somewhat wiser, in the present paper I revisit this topic from a much broader point of view. I therefore briefly explore the importance of the cultural factor when producing—that is, planning, organizing and managing, training staff for, composing, supplementing, evaluating and revising, publishing (in the wider sense), and promoting—a translation of the Scriptures today. It will be possible only to touch upon each of these essential aspects of the overall process in this article, which is further biased by my limited ethnic and experiential background. But I hope to raise some relevant issues and stimulate discussion by colleagues who work in a much different cultural environment within the translation fellowship.
Translation as a Blending of Cultures
Authors: Abu-Mahfouz Ahmad
Published: November 2021

The aim of this paper is to consider translation as a blending of cultures. This paper argues that a translation will never be fair if something new has not been added to it. Therefore, a degree of cultural interface between two language groups (from English to Indian languages, i.e., Bengali, Marathi) is required for translating any text. This paper also describes translation philosophies from nineteenth century India, when the colonial agenda of translating indigenous texts was a part of a larger enterprise of Imperialism, to recent times when the attempt has been to rescue the work of translation from the restrictions imposed by the rhetoric of technical rules regarding transference from Source Language to Target Language. The result is one of blending of the culture of the Source Language of the original text with the conventions and culture of the Target Language, resulting in a translation that is not an exact translation of the original text but that will provide a faithful cultural understanding of the text in the minds of the Target Language readers.

Fír Flathemon in the Russian Primary Chronicle? The Legend of the Summoning of the Varangians and the Prefatory Matter to Audacht Morainn
Authors: Nikolaev Dmitry
Published: November 2021

The legend of the summoning of the Varangians as presented in different versions of the Russian Primary Chronicle (also known as Povest' Vremennykh Let) provided a matter for hot debates among the students of Russian history: to some of them it seemed to present a proof that Eastern Slavic peoples found themselves unable to establish a reliable state to settle their disputes. The idea of an orderly government had to be imported from Scandinavia with the rulers themselves. This discussion, however, seemed to come to an end in the 1990s when a new approach to the analysis of this section of the RPC was introduced. Russian scholars Ye. Mel'nikova and V. Petrukhin proposed to treat the Varangian-summoning legend not as a historical source, but as a literary tale (analogical to the opening parts of Res gestae saxonicae by Widukind of Corvey or Heimskringla by Snorri Sturluson) the main purpose of which was to explain the aetiology of the Russian statehood. In the end Mel'nikova and Petrukhin suggest, nevertheless, that this tale could have had a genuine historical core—the treaty (r'ad) established between Varangian rulers and their Slavic subjects regulating their mutual rights and duties. However, not mentioned in their paper is the closest parallel to the RPC-legend, the Irish tale of the killing of noble lineages of Ireland and their subsequent return to the island, as it is set forth in the late-Old-Irish historical poem Sóerchlanda Érenn uile. This poem which, accompanied by a prose setting, serves in some manuscripts as introductory matter to Audacht Morainn shows the effects of the lack of fír flathemon on peoples not having a proper ruler. The striking resemblance between this tale and the Varangian legend in the RPC gives us an opportunity to reconsider the motif structure and the ideological purport of the latter: the establishment of r'ad may probably be seen not as an account of a historical fact ornamented with some wandering motifs but as a wandering (or inherited) motif itself, and the main purpose of this tale could have been not to provide an aetiology for the Russian statehood, but to show the importance of having a ruler possesing ‘rightness’ (pravda).
On Specific Zoological Isoglosses between Celtic and (Balto-)Slavic
Authors: Blažek Václav
Published: November 2021

This contribution deals with three major questions:

1. Was ‘eagle’ in Celtic and Balto-Slavic extended in -l- or in -r-?

2. Can Balto-Slavic ‘swan’ be etymologised as ‘beaked’ with the help of Celtic?

3. Can words for ‘fox’ be based on a Celto-Baltic or Celto-Slavic isogloss?
Fintan mac Bóchra: Irish Synthetic History Revisited
Authors: Bondarenko Grigory
Published: November 2021

Fintan mac Bóchra is one of the characters in Early Irish tradition who act as the self-sufficient centre of their own mythological situation. He figures prominently as a plot-making protagonist in a number of Irish texts serving as a main character of a particular tale or a plot. Celtic scholars have extensively discussed Fintan, and have expressed many opposing views concerning him. Starting with the most influential opinions: he has been taken to be ‘the Otherworld god’ (not surprisingly: O’Rahilly 1946: 319), as a primordial human being of Irish tradition (Guyonvarc’h & Le Roux 2005: 322) or as a synthetic apocryphal being, the product of monastic learning (McCone 1991: 199). In my view it would not be sufficient merely to say that he combines all these features before a proper reassessment of this character.
Rare and Unique Names of "Non-Indo-European" Type and the Case of Dallán Forgaill
Authors: Zhivlova Nina
Published: November 2021

Two-part compound names connected with notions of war, fame and power and with animals like the wolf and horse were popular among speakers of many Indo-European language branches (Indian, Iranian, Greek, Germanic, Slavic and Celtic). This “Indo-European” type of composita, probably inherited from Proto-Indo-European language (and culture) was studied in detail by Uhlich (1993). At the same time there is another Old Irish name-type consisting of a noun + adjective or a noun + noun in genitive case, for example, Mac Menman ‘son of thought’. This name-type was described by M.A. O’Brien and other scholars as “Non-Indo-European” (O’Brien 1973), hereafter “Non-IE”. I accept this conventional term, without necessarily implying, however, that I agree that this name-type was inherited from a “Non-Indo-European” substrate. Study of this name-type is long overdue. Dallán Forgaill, the 6th century poet and saint, is credited with authorship of the Amra Choluim Chille, an elegy in memory of the saint Columba. I do not intend to discuss the historicity of the poet himself or the dating of the poem: our main point of interest is his name as it has come down to us in medieval Irish sources. Dallán’s name and genealogy, as well as his alleged identity with Eóchaid Rígéices, also chief poet of Ireland, deserve closer scrutiny.
Migration through Gaelic and Russian Proverbs
Authors: Koroleva Maria
Published: November 2021

History reminds us that Scots have always been notorious for their migration to other countries of the world, frequently a forced one, for the lack of space or constant trouble at home. Many a good Gaelic name left trace in the history of Europe and Americas, as well as Australia; indeed even in Russia every single Scottish clan name happens to be somehow mentioned in her history. The Russians, on the contrary, at least until the early 20th century, were rather reluctant to leave their motherland, for in case of trouble there was plenty of room for them to move to, especially eastwards or northwards as the starovers did, or southwards and westwards.

But how do these two peoples so different in their migration behaviour, the Gaels and the Russians, perceive the migration process? How are their attitude and behaviour patterns reflected in their proverbial lore? Do they share any patterns despite all the outward differences? How does it fit into the wider international proverbial context? And, more importantly, into demographic study?

From a bulk of almost 6,000 of original Gaelic, 12,000 of Russian and more than 40,000 proverbs collected in different regions of Europe, Asia and Africa, about 500 proverbs were selected, then carefully analyzed and compared by the authors.
Telaah Memaknai Penyertaan Allah Dalam Bingkai Teologi Pentakosta
Authors: Manurung Kosma
Published: November 2021

Pentecostals are people who build their understanding of faith on the basis of a practical life that conforms to the Bible. The Bible gives an illustration of God's desire to be with believers. Immanuel is a term that refers to the existence of God who accompanies His people and is manifested by the presence of the Lord Jesus Himself (Matt. 123). This article's research specifically wants to highlight how Pentecostal theology interprets God's inclusion. The method used in this research is descriptive and literature review. How the inclusion of God in the lives of people whom the Bible believes in is discussed in such depth as the inclusion of God in the lives of Joseph, Moses, and Daniel. This article also discusses the real form of God's participation in the person and ministry of the Lord Jesus the gospel. The research results show that God's participation is the desire of God's heart to be present in the daily lives of believers as His chosen people. The presence of Allah also means God's care and protection. An understanding of God's presence awakens faith to believe confidently and live for God.Keywords: immanuel; god inclusion; pentecost; pentecostalism; pentecostal theology AbstrakKaum Pentakosta adalah kaum yang membangun pemahaman iman mereka berdasarkan kehidupan praktis yang menyesuaikan dengan Alkitab.

Pop-up Ads and Behaviour Patterns: A Quantitative Analysis Involving Perception of Saudi Users
Authors: Hanbazazh Alaa , Reeve Carlton
Published: November 2021

The study aimed to investigate consumer behaviour towards pop-up ads. The study is quantitative in nature and carries out a survey questionnaire. The study sample consisted of 100 active users of social media (i.e., Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Tik Tok and gaming application). The data collected were analysed using Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0. Moreover, the study used descriptive statistical analyses, a t-test was used to check the different impact of independent variables and finally ANOVA test was used to find the impact of more than one independent variable on the dependent one. The results of the study showed that Snapchat (30.47%) was the widely used application among the participants and an average user consumes social media more than 4 hours a day which makes it 40% of the participants. The study also found that participants disagreed that they always look for pop-up ads (M = 1.71, Std = 0.92). Also, the study found no significant difference in perceptions of respondents towards pop-up ads with regard to gender. The ANOVA test revealed that educational level (0.627) didn’t show any significant difference towards the opinions of participants about pop-up ads whereas, age level (0.50) and monthly income (0.001) showed significant difference towards the opinions of participants about pop-up ads. The study concluded that pop-up ads do not actually impact consumer behaviour positively and are not the affective means of attracting consumers.
Chinese Students in American High Schools
Authors: Cheung Chun Hei
Published: November 2021

There are numerous scholarly articles that focus on Chinese Students’ decisions to go overseas and challenges they face in American High Schools. These research generates a holistic view on the subject., with many of them agreeing each other. Yet, despite many scholarly articles discussing this topic, I find few of these studies originate from students who have lived through the experience of having left China to study abroad in the US themselves. This essay will explore and investigate the experience of Chinese students in US high schools through a combination of personal experience and scholarly articles. Some of the results go in accordance with the scholarly articles, while some deviate away from the findings.

Testing of the fatigue strength along wood fibres at different moisture contents
Authors: Dobrowolska Ewa , Niedbała Mateusz , Tabaczyński Daniel
Published: November 2021

Testing of the fatigue strength along wood fibres at different moisture contents. The paper determines the effect of wood moisture content on the fatigue strength in compression along fibres. The method of determining the maximum stress at the proportional limit was used for the measurements. Fatigue strength was investigated for three wood species: pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.), bearded birch (Betula pendula Roth.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies L.), with two moisture contents: close to the absolutely dry state and above the fibre saturation point. The ratio of fatigue strength to short term strength depends on moisture content and is similar for birch (70.3% in the dry state and 72.1% in the wet state), for oak (67.4% and 69.5% in both states) and for spruce (66.6% in the dry state and 68.1% in the wet state). The moisture content of the wood clearly influences the fatigue strength of the wood. On average, the fatigue strength of wood with moisture contents above the fibre saturation point constitutes about 0.20 of the fatigue strength of wood with moisture contents close to 0%. This tendency was found regardless of the tested species. The simplified method for testing fatigue strength at the limit of proportionality has shown its limited usefulness, requiring further analysis and comparison with other methods in order to be thoroughly tested and possibly improved.
Mehrfache Staatsangehörigkeit
Authors: Berlit Uwe
Published: November 2021

In der noch wesentlich auf Staaten gründenden Völkerrechtsordnung ist es ein Menschenrecht, eine Staatsangehörigkeit zu haben. Der Besitz von mehr als einer Staatsangehörigkeit ist rechtlich lediglich möglich, in nicht unerheblichem Umfang auch in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland Realität - und neben einem Regulierungsproblem migrationspolitisch nach Grund und Umfang umstritten. Der Betrag beschreibt die Funktion von Staatsangehörigkeit, die Ursachen und Gründe sowie den Rechtsrahmen für Mehrfachstaatsangehörigkeit, bevor er sich aktuellen Problemfeldern der nationalen Debatte mit Bezug zur Mehrfachstaatsangehörigkeit widmet. Die „gewachsenen“ Relativierungen und Durchbrechungen des einst hochgehaltenen Grundsatzes der Vermeidung von Mehrstaatigkeit spiegeln die Ergebnisse punktueller staatsangehörigkeitsrechtlicher Konflikte, folgen aber keinem stringenten, systematisch stimmigen Konzept. Als Trend lässt sich allein eine zunehmende Überlagerung nationalen Staatsangehörigkeitsrechts durch Unionsrecht festhalten.
Algorithmic Composition by Autonomous Systems with Multiple Time-Scales
Authors: Holopainen Risto
Published: November 2021

Dynamic systems have found their use in sound synthesis as well as score synthesis. These levels can be integrated in monolithic autonomous systems in a novel approach to algorithmic composition that shares certain aesthetic motivations with some work with autonomous music systems, such as the search for emergence. We discuss various strategies for achieving variation on multiple time-scales by using slow-fast, hybrid dynamic systems, and statistical feedback. The ideas are illustrated with a case study.
COVED: A Hardware Accelerated Soft Computing Enabled Intelligent Value Chain Based Diagnostic Automation for nCOVID-19 Estimation and Identification
Authors: Biswas Swarnava , Sen Debajit , Bhatia Dinesh , Mukherjee Moumita
Published: November 2021

Purpose: COVID-19, a global pandemic, first appeared in the city of Wuhan, China, and has since spread differently across geographical borders, classes, and genders from various age groups, sometimes mutating its DNA strands in the process. The sheer magnitude of the pandemic's spread is putting a strain on hospitals and medical facilities. The need of the hour is to deploy IoT devices and robots to monitor patients' body vitals as well as their other pathological data to further control the spread. There has not been a more compelling need to use digital advances to remotely provide quality healthcare via computing devices and AI-powered medical aids.
Method: This research developed a deployable Internet of Things (IoT) based infrastructure for the early and simple detection and isolation of suspected coronavirus patients, which was accomplished via the use of ensemble deep transfer learning. The proposed Internet of Things framework combines 4 different deep learning models: DenseNet201, VGG16, InceptionResNetV2, and ResNet152V2. Utilizing the deep ensemble model, the medical modalities are used to obtain chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images and diagnose the infection.
Results: Over the HRCT image dataset, the developed deep ensemble model is collated to different state-of-the-art transfer learning (TL) models. The comparative investigation demonstrated that the suggested approach can aid radiologists inefficiently and swiftly diagnosing probable coronavirus patients.
Conclusion: For the first time, our group has developed an AI-enabled Decision Support System to automate the entire process flow from estimation to detection of COVID-19 subjects as part of an Intelligent Value Chain algorithm. The screening is expected to eliminate the false negatives and asymptomatic ones out of the equation and hence the affected individuals could be identified in a total process time of 15 minutes to 1 hour. A Complete Deployable System with AI Influenced Prediction is described here for the first time. Not only did the authors suggest a Multiple Hypothesis based Decision Fusion Algorithm for forecasting the outcome, but they also did the predictive analytics. For simple confined isolation or hospitalization, this complete Predictive System was encased within an IoT ecosystem.
