AN OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM FOR SPARSE CODE MULTIPLE ACCESS CODEBOOK TO MAXIMIZE MUTUAL INFORMATION IN 5G
Authors: Dhanalakshmi A. , Prabakar T. N. , Brindha J. , Balaji L. , Thyagharajan K. K.
Published: May 2024

Sparse code multiple access (SCMA) codebook optimization algorithms strive to reduce complexity with negligible loss at the transmitting end but add more complexity at the receiver, such that the retrieved information is minimal. To optimize mutual information in 5G using SCMA, an efficient
codebook optimization algorithm is presented. The SCMA signal model is considered first using a
superposition modulation structure with a column expanded channel matrix. The superposition model accurately describes the link between the received signal and the codebook matrix. An iterative codebook optimization approach based on the above model is suggested to maximize (continuous output and discrete input) mutual information. This method effectively adapts random channel coefficients to multiuser channels; both additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and non-AWGN channels are available
to perform well with the proposed technique, according to simulation findings. Furthermore, the proposed optimization algorithm for SCMA codebook works well with the message passing algorithm.

Background. The inclusion of lenvatinib in the immunotherapy regimen for patients with MSS/pMMR endometrial cancer (EC) is due to its ability to modulate the tumor microenvironment, which allows the use of pembrolizumab in low-immunogenic tumors. However, only 30 % of patients with advanced or metastatic EC have a clinical response when treated with pembrolizumab and lenvatinib. In this regard, there is an obvious need to identify biomarkers that allow accurate selection of candidates for this type of therapy.Aim. To determine the predictive value of subpopulations of lymphocytes and macrophages, their expression of PD-1, expression of estrogen receptors, as well as vessel density in immunotargeted therapy for advanced or metastatic EC.Materials and methods. An open-label non-randomized observational association study was performed, involving a total of 22 patients with advanced or metastatic MSS/pMMR EC treated with pembrolizumab and lenvatinib. Duration of clinical effectiveness was used as a parameter to stratify patients. Using TSA-associated multiplex immunofluorescence, the proportions of CD8+ T lymphocytes, CD20+ B lymphocytes, FoxP3+ T regulatory lymphocytes and CD163+macrophages in tumor samples before the start of immunotargeted therapy were analyzed.Results. Three microenvironmental parameters were found to be associated with duration of clinical efficacy: the proportion of CD20+ B cells, the proportion of FoxP3+ T regulatory lymphocytes, and the ratio of CD8+/CD20+ lymphocytes in the tumor microenvironment. However, the CD8+/CD20+ lymphocyte ratio had the greatest predictive value; a value below 3.219 was associated with long clinical efficacy in patients with advanced or metastatic EC.Conclusion. The ratio of cytotoxic and B-lymphocytes in the microenvironment is a reliable predictor marker of the duration of the period of clinical effectiveness of immunotargeting therapy in advanced or metastatic EC.
“A máquina do mundo” em 3D
Authors: De Almeida Cleber Ranieri Ribas
Published: May 2024

O poema “A Máquina do Mundo” de Carlos Drummond de Andrade é interpretado pela crítica, no que diz respeito ao uso de intertextos, como um poema marcado pelo diálogo subliminar com a Divina Comédia de Dante Alighieri e com Os Lusíadas de Luís de Camões. Em contraposição a esta reiterada interpretação do poema, tentaremos demonstrar a hipótese segundo a qual o cenário de “A Máquina do Mundo” foi construído e imaginado a partir de uma releitura do cenário do poema “As I Walked Out One Evening”, do poeta inglês Wystan Hugh Auden. Drummond fez uma adaptação cenográfica do poema de W.H. Auden. As semelhanças entre os cenários são evidentes no uso dos seguintes expedientes: (a) o cenário de abertura do poema de Auden (no qual um andarilho caminha por uma estrada ou rua e se depara com uma visão maquinal e epifânica) é reutilizado por Drummond; (b) a atmosfera sombria e quase noturna da hora das Vésperas, acompanhada do badalar dos sinos da igreja ou do toque dos relógios, é comum em ambos os poemas; (c) a estrutura dialogal das máquinas que falam e desvelam mistérios é comum aos dois textos; (d) a narrativa escatológica do desfecho dos poemas é, também, muito similar. Concluímos que a semelhança entre os cenários dos dois poemas torna evidente as diferenças entre a perspectiva cristã do poema de W.H. Auden e a perspectiva absurdista do poema de Drummond.
Systemic Position of the Polish Notariat in the Light of the Law on Notaries of 25 May 1951
Authors: Woś Tomasz
Published: May 2024

The article provides an analysis of the systemic position of the notariat under the Law on Notaries of 25 May 1951. This act introduced in Poland the system of notariat modelled on the Soviet legislation. Under this law, the notariat became a state body, operating through state notary offices under the supervision of the Minister of Justice and its organs. It was commonly classified as a legal protection body, although it was known that its purpose, functions and principles of operation differed much from both the traditional profession of notary and other legal protection bodies. The provisions of the new law recognized a notary as a state employee with special obligations to comply with the law and social rules applicable within the People’s State. Granting a new status to a notary entailed the abolition of the professional self-government of notaries and the notary traineeship. Despite the formal abandoning of previous traditions, the general principles of the notariat set out in the Law on Notaries of 1951 were nevertheless based to some extent on the achievements of the Law on Notaries of 1933. Thanks to these principles for the operation of the notariat, notaries continued to enjoy strong trust from the public, which allowed the notary to continue to be referred to as a person of public trust. The fact that the notariat managed to keep its character as an institution of public trust demonstrated the universal nature and vitality of this institution. This allowed the Polish notariat to survive the period of nationalization and ultimately to go back in 1991 to the systemic traditions that had been developed during the interwar period.
Restricting the Enjoyment of the Freedom of Assembly for Reasons of Safety and Public Order
Authors: Karpiuk Mirosław
Published: May 2024

The public good (which will also include public safety and public order) will sometimes require protection at the expense of human and civil rights and freedoms. As long as the interference is justified by the circumstances and is legally permissible, it is possible to restrict the freedom of assembly. This may, however, be done in special circumstances where safety and public order cannot be guaranteed using other measures. Moreover, the disadvantages for the addressees of the restriction must not be excessive, and the restriction itself must not last longer than necessary. The right to organise and hold assemblies of any kind may be suspended during both martial law and a state of emergency. Both are states of exception, imposed due to the need to protect the state, including against threats to its safety.

Profile of Pancasila Teacher Viewed from Ki Hajar Dewantara's Philosophy of Education
The Merdeka Belajar curriculum advocates for the freedom of children or learners in the educational process. The objective of the Merdeka Belajar curriculum is translated into the Pancasila Student Profile, which consists of six dimensions. Besides the Pancasila Student Profile, there is also the Pancasila Teacher Profile, which shares the same six dimensions. The Pancasila Teacher Profile must be implemented by an educator within the Merdeka Belajar curriculum. The purpose of this research is to explore the Pancasila Teacher Profile from the perspective of education by Ki Hajar Dewantara. The method employed in this research is literature study. The research findings illustrate that the six dimensions of the Pancasila Teacher Profile have their roots in the values upheld by Ki Hajar Dewantara in the Among System. Several dimensions of the Pancasila Teacher Profile are found within the principles of the Among System. Furthermore, these dimensions share similar meanings with some messages previously conveyed by Ki Hajar Dewantara. This indicates that besides having its roots in Ki Hajar Dewantara's educational values, the Pancasila Teacher Profile is highly necessary to be realized in the behavior of a teacher as an educator.

Authors: Belia Vinny Puti , Fransiska Aria , Suprianto Kosno
Published: May 2024

Alginate is the most common impression material in dentistry. Alginate is a water-based material and thus has a lack of dimensional stability due to imbibition and syneresis. Dimensional changes in alginate can cause the impression to be less accurate. Dimensional changes can be resolved by modifying alginate, one of which is by adding cassava starch and modified cassava starch. This study aims to determine the effect of adding cassava starch and modified cassava starch on changes in the stability of alginate impression. This research was conducted in an experimental laboratory with a post-test-only control group design and 30 samples. The research was conducted by observing dimensional changes of pure alginate, alginate with 40% cassava starch, and alginate with 40% modified cassava starch at 0 minutes and 30 minutes of impression filling. The smallest dimensional change occurs in alginate with the addition of modified cassava starch 40%; as a result of 0.342% followed by alginate with the addition of natural cassava starch 40%; as a result of 0.592% and pure alginate with the largest dimensional change of as a result 0.85%. The One Way Anova test showed significant differences from the dimensional changes of pure alginate, alginate with 40% cassava starch, and alginate with 40% modified cassava starch. Alginate with the addition of 40% modified cassava starch is more stable than alginate with the addition of 40% cassava starch and pure alginate.

Soil recovery is a process aimed at reversing its degradability by incorporating favorable conditions (physical, chemical, and biological) to restructure life so that, through intervention, it can regenerate. This study aimed to analyze the potential combined use of leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) and vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) for the recovery of degraded soils in the Nhamurenguera area, Vandúzi District, Mozambique. The experimental method included soil study (physical-chemical analyses), area preparation (field and seedbed), field management, topographic survey, and qualitative and quantitative visual assessment of the developing seedlings. A total of 650 leucaena and 680 vetiver grass seedlings were planted in an area of 0.5 ha, with a spacing of 4 m between rows and 2 m between seedlings of both species in consort. Three months after planting, the survival and adaptability levels of the seedlings were evaluated. The results showed that 17% of the leucaena individuals and 12% of the vetiver grass died due to ant attacks and insufficient moisture, despite the use of mulching. Regarding the seedlings' reaction to soil conditions, 94% of leucaena and 79% of vetiver showed slow development in the first 3 months of planting due to soil compaction and low nutrient availability (leaching). After four years, soil chemical parameters were evaluated and compared with pre-leucaena/vetiver consortium soil data. The pH values, electrical conductivity, NPK contents, calcium, and magnesium increased, improving soil quality and indicating a soil recovery process to prepare it for subsequent agricultural use, especially for cereal and legume crops.

PeaceMaker: Using an online educational game on Middle East politics as an ‘Object To Think With’ (OTTW) in a Masters-level Public Policy course
Authors: Richardson Anthony
Published: May 2024

Teaching causality in complex adaptive systems to tertiary students poses dual challenges: presenting key concepts like tipping points, emergence, nonlinearity, path dependency, and feedback; and then guiding students to grasp the uncertainties these entail for policy and decision-making. While the pedagogical value of educational games is increasingly recognised, there is little consensus on underlying learning theories or game design principles. In particular, as traditional behaviourist approaches do not address the implications of complex systems, the author (teaching a Masters-level Public Policy course) used the Israeli/Palestinian politics game, PeaceMaker, in a more constructivist approach that understands games as 'objects-to-think-with' (OTTWs).

Food, Identity, and Mourning: Focusing on Crying in H Mart
Authors:   The Korean Society For Teaching English Literature, Hahn Meeya
Published: May 2024

This paper is an attempt to examine the relationship between Korean food, mourning for the mother, and cultural identity as revealed in the work Crying in H Mart. The work describes the growth of the author, who was born between a Korean mother and an American father and raised in the United States, and the influence of Korean food on her life after experiencing her mother’s death. As a child, the author loved Korean food and the lifestyle of her maternal family members, but as she grew up in the United States and went through adolescence, she rejected the Korean food that was connected to her Korean identity within herself, and rebelled against her mother’s Korean way of parenting, which sought to raise her with conservative and strict educational standards. When she thought she was ready to reconcile with her mother as a college student, she experienced her mother’s sudden death and felt confusion about her identity as a Korean. As Judith Butler points out, because a loved one constitutes part of oneself, mother’s death permanently changes her. She contemplates the making and fermenting of kimchi, which her mother loved, and comes to think about the beginning of a new form of life, realizing that her mother can also live through her, and thus she will live more fiercely and maturely, including her mother’s share.

BIOCHEMICAL AND TRANSCRIPTOMIC ANALYSIS OF DISEASE RESISTANCE AND EARLY-MATURITY RELATED GENES IN NMR-191 AND NMR-192 RICE MUTANT LINES
Authors:   Division of Biomedical Sciences & Biotechnology, School of Health Sciences, IMU University, Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Kiong Ling Anna Pick
Published: May 2024

Malaysia's rice industry has revealed that the rice production was unable to supply the food demand where nearly 30% was imported from other countries. This is due to the fact that rice cultivation in Malaysia faces concerns about rice blast disease, Magnaporthe oryzae attack, and having a long maturation period. As such, generation of new rice mutant lines that possess improved disease resistance and early maturity characteristics through mutation breeding techniques are of great importance. This study aimed to analyze the biochemical characteristics as well as to validate the presence of disease resistance and early maturity-related genes in rice mutant lines. After the rice seeds of the parent line Pongsu Seribu 2 (PS2) and mutant lines (NMR191 and NMR192) were grown for 14 days, the plant samples underwent biochemical tests including total soluble protein content, specific activity of peroxidase, chlorophyll content and proline content. The RNA extraction and sequencing were also conducted for the purpose of transcriptomic profiling analysis to determine the presence of disease resistance and early maturity genes in the samples. The biochemical analyses showed a significant increase in the total soluble protein content, chlorophyll content, and proline content in the mutant line NMR191 and NMR192 compared to the parent line, while the specific activity of peroxidase in the mutant lines was significantly lower compared to the parent line. The transcriptomic profiling analysis revealed that Os07g0129300, Os12g0270300, and Os03g0235000 were the disease-resistance genes whereas Os03g0195300, Os01g0704100, Os11g0143200, Os06g0569900, and Os06g0568600 were the early maturity genes found in NMR191 and NMR192. This study validates that NMR191 and NMR192 could be better varieties than the parent line due to the presence of their early maturity and disease resistance traits.

Petiole Anatomy and Minor Veins as Aids for the Identification of Symplocos of Nepal
Authors: Banerji M. L.
Published: May 2024

On a study of eleven species of Symplocos occurring in Nepal, it is observed that petiole anatomy and minor venation pattern are helpful for identifying sterile material. Two species, S. pyrifolia and S. sumantia have exactly similar characters but can be distinguished from the other nine species. Sclerenchymatous bundle sheaths are known in a few dicotyledonous families like Winteraceae and Melastomataceae, and in a few genera of Dilleniaceae. It is significant that such sclerenchymatous bundle sheaths are also found in some species of Symplocos. It is felt that extensive survey of all the species of Symplocos would prove to be very interesting.

Published: May 2024

Taxonomy and nomenclature of Geum sikkimense Prain (1904) comprising two taxonomic species, G. sikkimense Prain, p.p., descr. emend. and G. macrosepalum Ludlow (1976), are discussed. Geum L. treated here as an inclusive genus with Sieversia Willd. and Acomastylis E.L. Greene as congeneric synonyms, is shown to be represented in India by 3 subgenera, subg. Geum, subg. Micracomastylis (F. Bolle) Robertson and subg. Geniculohirtistylis Panigrahi et Purohit subg. nov., based on G. macrosepalum Ludlow as the type species. While G. sikkimense Prain, as also G. elatum Wall. ex. G. Don, are, assigned to the subg. Micracomastylis. The remaining three species of Geum L. in India viz. G. rovlei Wall. ex Bolle, G. aleppicum Jacq. and G. aequilobatum Purohit et Panigrahi are accredited to the subg. Geum.
