Stability of weighted norm inequalities
Authors: Alexis Michel , Luna-Garcia José Luis , Sawyer Eric , Uriarte-Tuero Ignacio
Published: January 2025

We show that while individual Riesz transforms are two-weight norm
stable
under biLipschitz change of variables on

A_{\infty}

weights, they are two-weight norm
unstable
under even rotational change of variables on doubling weights. More precisely, we show that individual Riesz transforms are unstable under a set of rotations having full measure, which includes rotations arbitrarily close to the identity. This provides an operator theoretic distinction between

A_{\infty}

weights and doubling weights. More generally, all iterated Riesz transforms of odd order are rotationally unstable on pairs of doubling weights, thus demonstrating the need for characterizations of iterated Riesz transform inequalities using testing conditions as appearing in the work of Nazarov, Treil and Volberg, and other works by subsets of the authors Alexis, Lacey, Sawyer, Shen, Uriarte-Tuero and Wick, as opposed to the typically stable ’bump’ conditions.
Математическая теория рассеяния в электромагнитных волноводах
Authors: Plamenevskii Boris Alekseevich , Poretskii Aleksandr S , Sarafanov Oleg Vasil'evich
Published: January 2025

Волновод занимает трехмерную область $G$ с несколькими цилиндрическими выходами на бесконечность и описывается нестационарной системой Максвелла с идеально проводящими краевыми условиями. Предполагается, что диэлектрическая и магнитная проницаемости заполняющей среды - положительно определенные матрицы $\varepsilon(x)$ и $\mu(x)$, зависящие от точки $x$ из $G$. На бесконечности в каждом цилиндрическом выходе эти матрицы-функции сходятся с экспоненциальной скоростью к матрицам-функциям, не зависящим от продольной координаты цилиндра. Для соответствующей стационарной задачи со спектральным параметром определяются собственные функции непрерывного спектра и матрица рассеяния. Нестационарная система Максвелла расширяется до уравнения вида $i \partial_t \mathcal{U}(x,t)=\mathcal{A}(x,D_x)\mathcal{U}(x,t)$ с эллиптическим оператором $\mathcal{A}(x,D_x)$. С этим уравнением связывается начально-краевая задача, и для подходящей пары таких задач строится теория рассеяния. Вычисляются волновые операторы, определяется оператор рассеяния и описывается его связь с матрицей рассеяния. Из полученных результатов извлекаются сведения об исходной системе Максвелла.

Authors: Leining Lauren M. , Erickson Timothy A. , Hanis Craig L. , Bauer Cici , Murry Maya D. , Brown Eric L. , Mejia Rojelio , Gunter Sarah M.
Published: January 2025

The burden of pathogenic enteric protozoa and soil-transmitted helminths among impoverished populations living on the Texas–Mexico border is unclear. We conducted a cross-sectional study on an ongoing longitudinal cohort of 616 adults residing in Starr County, Texas. A total of 359 adults were screened for four protozoa and five soil-transmitted helminths by using real-time polymerase chain reaction. This analysis identified 48 (13.4%) participants who tested positive for Blastocystis sp., three (0.8%) who tested positive for Giardia intestinalis, and one (0.3%) who tested positive for Strongyloides stercoralis and was also coinfected with Blastocystis sp. Infection was significantly associated with age, a lack of health insurance, and living outside of a colonia. We recommend additional epidemiologic investigations to examine risk factors contributing to protozoa and soil-transmitted helminth disease transmission in border counties.
A Novel Approach for Integrating Virtual Reality in the Ergonomic
Testing of Automotive Interior Designs
Authors: Natrayan L. , Kaliappan Seeniappan , Swamy Nadh V. , Maranan Ramya , Balaji V.
Published: January 2025

This research aimed to explore the integration of Virtual reality technology in
ergonomically testing automotive interior designs. This objective was aimed at
ensuring that such technology could be used to ameliorate user comfort through
controlled simulations. Existing ergonomic testing methods are often limited
when it comes to recreating actual driving situations and quickly repeating
design improvements. VR could be used as a solution because its ergonomically
tested simulation can be used to provide users with the real experience of
driving. The users can be observed while they experience it and asked for their
feedback. For this research, an interactive VR environment imitating a
10-minute-long trip through traffic and changing road conditions was created. It
was populated by ten users, concatenated equally in men and women, both aged
20-35, representing approximate demographics of workers in the automotive
production industry. Participants of the research were asked to use assessed
metrics, which included subjective comfort rating, control reachability,
visibility rating and overall user experience within the VR simulation. The VR
environment was overall well-received by the demands of this research. Its uses
found it comfortable and easy to use, with average metrics of 7.5, 8.0, and 7.5,
respectively for comfort, controls, and visibility. The overall user experience
averaged at 7.8. The information obtained through this research proves that VR
environments can be used effectively to simulate the interior of cars and
ameliorate the ergonomics of their designs. This could potentially be a
revolutionary technology, accelerating automotive development by the early
detection of design mistakes and facilitating iterative improvements with
subsequent iterations.

Authors: Omprakasam S. , Karthick N. , Althaf Mohammed Kassim
Published: January 2025

This study will explore the banana fibre-reinforced composites (BFRC) as a
sustainable alternative to synthetic fibre composites using experimental testing
and numerical models. Composites were made using compression moulding and hand
lay-up techniques with varying the fibre’s orientations and contents. Mechanical
testing was done in conformity with ASTM criteria, with a focus on tensile
properties. Strong correlations were established between the prediction models
developed by finite element analysis (FEA) using AUTODESK Fusion 360 and the
experimental data were predicted by Using the Hirsch model, the tensile strength
and modulus of the composites were computed the findings showed that adding more
fibre improved the mechanical qualities, especially the tensile strength. The
process of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), was used to find defects in the
BFRC.

Electrochemical Machining through Machine Learning Approaches
Authors: Seenivasan Madhankumar , Prasanna Kumar T. J. , Udhayakumar Gobikrishnan , Rajesh S. , Bhuvaneswari M. , Feroz Ali L.
Published: January 2025

The Material Removal Rate (MRR) is a vital aspect of Electro-Chemical Machining
(ECM), an engineering manufacturing method that depends on electrochemical
reactions. The MRR is dependent on factors such as current, voltage, electrolyte
concentration, and machining time. To investigate the effect of MRR on Inconel
718 super-alloy, experiments were conducted using stainless steel tool under
different independent machining conditions. Machine Learning (ML) approaches
could be utilized to predict machining outcomes based on specific input
parameters. In this research, ML techniques were applied to ECM by developing
models using multiple linear regression, Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbors
(KNN), and Xtreme gradient boosting algorithms. These models aimed to establish
the association among the collaborative impacts of the electrolytic solution,
volts, amps, and feed rate on MRR. Additionally, the study seeks to recognize
the best ML technique for forecasting the MRR of Inconel 718 alloy during ECM
utilizing a regression approach. The outcomes indicated that the Xtreme gradient
boosting algorithm achieved the highest forecasting performance, with an
accuracy of 99.42%. This was followed by the KNN model in terms of predictive
accuracy.

„Gdańskie Studia Azji Wschodniej” 2012–2024
Authors: Zeidler Kamil , Kamień Joanna
Published: January 2025

The aim of this article is to summarize the activities of the semi-annual academic journal Gdańskie Studia Azji Wschodniej (The Gdańsk Journal of East Asian Studies) since its establishment in 2012, including 25 issues. The journal was started as an academic project by the Centre for East Asian Studies of the University of Gdańsk. The subject matter of the academic articles published in the journal includes all matters related to the study and presentation of East Asian countries, especially China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam, that is, above all, culture, philosophy, language, literature, history, law, statehood, politics, the economy, and economics. The criterion for selecting articles is, thus, not based on the scholarly field, but whether the topic is related to the region of East Asia. The semi-annual journal is multidisciplinary in nature and the aim of the editorial staff is to present various East Asian countries to both Polish and non-Polish readers.

Since its establishment, the editor-in-chief of the journal has been Professor Kamil Zeidler, and the secretary of the editorial staff has been Dr. Joanna Kamień. The Academic Advisory Board of GSAW consists of scholars from Poland, China, Japan, and South Korea. Over the twelve years of the journal’s existence, it has published a total of 338 academic articles in twenty-fi ve issues, including nineteen student pieces, thirty-five book reviews on topics related to East Asia, fifty-six reports on various events concerning East Asia, and five occasional in memoriam texts.

After the publication in June 2024 of a special issue entitled Cultural Heritage Law in Asia (edited by Kamil Zeidler and Joanna Kamień), the members of the previous editorial board passed on their duties to Dr. Jacek Splisgart, who became the new editor-in-chief of GSAW, and to Paulina Andrzejczak, MA, who became the new secretary of the editorial board. Issue 26 (2024) is the first to be published under the journal’s new editorial board.
Mityzacja świata przedstawionego w powieści Kroniki Eksplozji Yan Lianke
Authors: Torbicka Marta
Published: January 2025

This article discusses the function of mythologisation in the fictional universe of The Explosion Chronicles by the Chinese writer Yan Lianke. The novel contains numerous references to phenomena and situations of a phantasmagorical nature, which at the same time bear the hallmarks of myth. Knowledge of the constitutive features of myth makes possible a more complete understanding of the function of the literary devices employed by Yan Lianke in the above-mentioned novel, as well as an analysis of the myth-forming elements at various levels of the creation of the fi ctional world, including the narrative, characters, time, and place.

The article describes two types of narrative used in the novel and how they complement each other to reveal the absurdities of the Chinese reality to which the novel refers. The next part introduces Joseph Campbell’s concept of “masks” enveloped in his theory of myth, and explains how characters in the novel create their own or other people’s perceptions. The article also touches on the aspect of mythological time, explaining why the plot does not follow a logical time sequence, while elaborating on the symbolic meaning of the different seasons and the function of time inconsistencies in the novel. The last part of the article focuses on the place and space described in The Explosion Chronicles. The author of the article explains the role of Chinese symbolism in describing space, as well as the directions taken by certain characters, and use the concept of imago mundi to explain the signifi cance of mythical creation in relation to the characters’ sense of confusion in the dynamically developing city of Explosion.
Progressive Movement Parties: A Product of the Crisis or Response to the Crisis?
Authors: Mikucka-Wójtowicz Dominika
Published: January 2025

Following the post-2008 crisis period, many new progressive left movements emerged in the countries of Southern and Southeastern Europe (such as Podemos in Spain, Syriza in Greece, Levica in Slovenia, and the Možemo! platform in Croatia). They were formed as a result of discontent with the political elites of the old left at both local and central level, who were not able to block the neo-liberal reforms of governing parties, or sometimes even advocated these reforms. These groupings mostly began as urban or social movements calling for more redistribution and more representative democracy. Later, however, many of them tried to become parliamentary parties as they grew aware of the difficulty of achieving their goals while operating exclusively outside political institutions. It is important to stress that their entry into the electoral arena often brought stark changes to the previous patterns of party competition. Some scholars see these new progressive movement parties as the nucleus of new democratic ideas, because of their promotion of a new way of doing politics.
New movement parties are a kind of hybrid party type. Therefore, the main aim of the paper is to analyse their origins and innovations in terms of organisational structure, as well as to shed light on their innovative policy practices. On the one hand, new movement parties extensively use various bottom-up tools and democratic digital innovations (DDIs) to involve members and try to maintain strategic practices of social movements in the arena of party competition. On the other, they often suffer from an unexpectedly high level of organisational centralisation and personalisation, as well as a tendency for their leadership to employ plebiscite practices.

Authors: Lewandowski Arkadiusz
Published: January 2025

The article deals with the phenomenon of controlled populism in contemporary Western European party systems. The problem addressed is considered at the theoretical level as well as in the dimension of selected case studies. The author’s main objective was to characterise a specific set of ways in which selected Western European mainstream parties react to the actions of populist parties and to present these reactions in the context of the theoretical framework of controlled populism. For the purposes of the text, a side objective was also pursued, which was to identify the theoretical framework of controlled populism. The case study analysis concerned the exemplary actions of selected European political parties qualified as mainstream party (Germany, France, Spain). Within the framework of the research conducted, it was determined that the analysed parties employed a populist discourse and strategy in the context of controlled populism.
The Presidentialization of Political Parties Due to Presidentialized Systems of Government: Theoretical nsights with Reference to the Fifth French Republic
Authors: Jakubiak Łukasz
Published: January 2025

The presidentialization of political parties is part of a broader phenomenon called the presidentialization of politics. The latter is relatively new and remains associated, among other things, with the centralization of decision-making processes, as well as manifests itself in the growing role of individual political leaders. Presidentialization leads to an increasingly stronger actual position of the executive power within modern systems of government (presidentialism, semi-presidentialism and parliamentarism), which goes beyond the letter of the constitution. This also affects the functioning of political parties. Hence, the aim of the article is to identify the key characteristics of presidentialized political parties that operate within presidentialized systems of government. The reference point for verifying these theoretical findings will be the parties operating within the semi-presidential system of the Fifth French Republic.

Authors: Suresh Suvarna Shruti , Khetan Shrishti
Published: January 2025

Objective: This study examines the role of ChatGPT, an AI-based conversational model, in managing rheumatoid arthritis (RA), focusing on patient education, symptom management, and personalized support.

Method: ChatGPT’s responses to common RA-related inquiries were analyzed for accuracy, relevance, and usability. Key areas assessed included disease education, treatment guidance, lifestyle recommendations, and symptom tracking. A literature review was conducted to contextualize its capabilities against other AI tools in healthcare.

Results: ChatGPT effectively provided clear, accessible information about RA, including symptoms, treatment options, and self-care strategies. It excelled in delivering lifestyle recommendations, such as anti-inflammatory diets and low-impact exercises. However, it cannot replace professional medical advice or provide tailored medical recommendations. Ethical concerns, including misinformation risks and patient privacy, were also noted.

Conclusion: ChatGPT shows promise as a supplementary tool in RA management by enhancing patient education and promoting self-management. While it has limitations, its potential to assist healthcare providers and patients highlights the need for further development and ethical integration. Future advancements may enable more personalized and interactive support for chronic disease management.
Evaluation of Antifungal Treatment Strategies in Febrile Neutropenic Episodes of High-Risk Hematologic Malignancies: A Single Center Retrospective Study
Authors: Acet Aycan , Ozkocaman Vildan , Özkalemkaş Fahir
Published: January 2025

Background Febrile neutropenic patients are at high risk for developing invasive fungal infection (IFI). Currently, two treatment strategies, empiric and preemptive, are used in febrile neutropenic patients with IFI. This study aimed to evaluate empirical and preemptive treatment strategies in patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies.
Methods We retrospectively analyzed 402 febrile neutropenic attacks in 281 patients with hematological malignancies hospitalized in a university hospital hematology clinic. Between June 2006 and January 2009, 154 febrile neutropenic episodes of 104 patients who met the study eligibility criteria were included. Patients who received antibiotic and antifungal treatment for febrile neutropenia were retrospectively recorded. Patients treated with empiric and preemptive approaches were identified and compared with statistical methods.
Results Antifungal treatment was initiated as empiric treatment in 62 (40%), preemptive therapy in 55 (36%) (subgroups; 45 [29%] possible-IFI and 10 [7%] probable-IFI), and 37 (24%) for secondary prophylaxis. In terms of length of hospitalization and all-cause mortality, no statistically significant results were found when patients receiving empiric and preemptive treatment were compared. (p>0.05).
Conclusion In patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies, even if empiric treatment is initiated, a dynamic approach that can be summarized as persistently trying to obtain evidence by using ancillary diagnostic tools and early termination of therapy in unnecessary cases seems appropriate.

Mechanical properties of welded joints made of high-strength low-alloy and high-alloyed austenitic steels mainly depend on the properties of the filler material used for their welding. Basic guidelines for selection of filler materials for such welds are provided by the Sheffler diagram. However, these guidelines are mainly oriented towards the avoidance of hot crack occurrence in the aforementioned joints. Due to this and more often than not, insufficient attention is devoted to micro-structural differences, and the resulting mechanical properties of welded joint regions. These differences can have a much higher influence on the behaviour of such welded joints during exploitation, when compared to hot cracks. This paper presents the results of testing of two welded joints. One of them was welded using a filler material whose purpose is to prevent hot cracks from occurring, and the other was used in order to obtain the optimal relationship between the mechanical properties of individual weld regions.
Abuse of General Meeting of Shareholders Implementation by Commissioners and Its Legal Consequences on the Deed of Meeting Resolution Statement Made by a Notary
Authors: Mutiara Arini , Fajri Mekka Putra Mohamad
Published: January 2025

The General Meeting of Shareholders (GMS) is a crucial decision-making mechanism in a Limited Liability Company, but it is often misused for personal or group interests, leading to abuse in its implementation. This study aims to analyze the legal framework governing the validity of corporate changes through GMS, as well as the legal consequences arising from its abuse by commissioners, particularly regarding the deed of meeting resolutions made by notaries. The research employs a normative juridical approach with a descriptive-analytical typology. It examines instances where the abuse of GMS by commissioners or related parties harms other shareholders or third parties, within the context of tort law. The findings indicate that the validity of corporate changes through GMS is highly dependent on the adherence to clear meeting procedures, quorum requirements, shareholder approval, and ratification by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights, in accordance with the company's Articles of Association and relevant laws. In cases of abuse, the deed of meeting resolutions issued by notaries is deemed invalid and legally non-binding, as it fails to comply with the Company Law and Articles of Association. This opens the possibility for affected parties to pursue civil or criminal legal action.

Еволюція Стратегічних концепцій НАТО після завершення «холодної війни»
Authors: Деменко О.Ф.
Published: January 2025

У статті проаналізовано еволюцію Стратегічних концепцій НАТО 1991, 1999, 2010 та 2022 рр. Встановлено, що стратегія розвитку НАТО постійно спрямовувалась на пристосування до мінливих обставин, зважаючи на наявні ресурси, які потрібні для досягнення визначених цілей. Стратегічні концепції були публічним обличчям НАТО, окреслюючи головні цілі і мету діяльності та забезпечуючи механізми досягнення консенсусу між країнами-членами. На основі проведеного аналізу зроблено висновок, що Стратегічна концепція є основним документом, який визначає пріоритети, цінності та цілі Альянсу, висвітлює колективну оцінку викликів та загроз міжнародній безпеці, визначає політичні й військові завдання НАТО у мінливому світі. У всіх чотирьох останніх Стратегічних концепціях залишалась незмінною основна мета НАТО, спрямована на захист свободи і безпеки всіх країн-членів політичними та військовими засобами, ґрунтована на спільних демократичних цінностях. При цьому, на відміну від періоду «холодної війни», політика безпеки Альянсу, крім завдання колективної оборони, доповнювалась низкою інших елементів, зокрема, прагненням до діалогу, розвитком співробітництва та партнерства, кризовим реагуванням. З’ясовано, що Стратегічні концепції НАТО 1991, 1999, 2010 та 2022 рр. підкреслювали основоположний характер трансатлантичного зв’язку для існування Альянсу та неподільність безпеки країн-членів, а поглиблення європейської інтеграції та зміцнення позицій Європейського Союзу сприяло посиленню зв’язків між ЄС та НАТО, що знаходило своє відображення у стратегічних документах Альянсу. Особливістю Стратегічних концепцій НАТО, прийнятих після завершення «холодної війни», стало започаткування Альянсом широкого підходу до міжнародної безпеки. Встановлено, що важливе місце у всіх зазначених Стратегічних концепціях займала проблематика, пов’язана із розвитком оборонних спроможностей НАТО та політика відкритих дверей Альянсу, що сприяло стабільності в євроатлантичному регіоні, зміцнило безпеку Альянсу та його потенціал.

Authors: Mawat Mazin
Published: January 2025

The study focuses on the role of water in reducing radiation exposure during FDG PET/CT scans. Water consumption prior to the scan hydrates the body, improves blood circulation, and facilitates efficient distribution uptake of the radioactive tracer, FDG. This leads to more accurate detection of areas with high metabolic activity, such as cancer cells. Furthermore, water reduces the concentration of residual FDG in the bladder or kidneys, having a low radioactive count during the image capture. After the scan, isotonic is achieved with aid of water to eliminate any remaining FDG as a move towards minimizing radiation consequences. The research also focuses on the type of radiation, dividing it into ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation as well as the hazards of radioactive substances. The paper explores the nature of tumors, the working of PET and CT equipments, and synergistic impact of PET/CT. Pet: The focus is on one more radioactive material – FDG which is used widely in pet scan and its properties like half-life, shelf-life, composition and where it gets energy from.
