ÖN-EĞİTİLMİŞ DERİN SİNİR AĞLARI KULLANILARAK ULTRA GENİŞ BANT RADAR TABANLI EL HAREKETİ TANIMA
Authors: Çalık Nurullah
Published: March 2024

Ultra geniş-bant (UGB) radar sensörleri insan hareketlerinin tanınmasında kritik bir öneme sahiptir. Sahip oldukları yüksek frekans özelliği ile hassas hareketlerin ayırt edilmesinde kullanılabilmektedirler. Ayrıca bu özellik, sensör boyutlarının portatif olmasına ve birçok alanda kolay kullanımına imkân tanır. Her ne kadar RGB kameralar üzerinden bu işlem yapılabilse de özellikle mahremiyet gizliliği konusunda problemler ile karşılaşılmaktadır. UGB sensörlerden elde edilen verilerde kişiler anonimleştiği için sadece hareket örüntüsü ele alınabilmektedir. Dolayısıyla, ev içi izleme ve yaşlı takibi gibi konularda önemli bir potansiyeli bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, üç farklı sensör üzerinden toplanan radar verilerinden el hareketlerinin sınıflandırılması yapılmaktadır. Radar görselleri sağ, sol ve üst olacak şekilde arka arkaya bir araya getirilerek 3 kanallı bir görüntü elde edilmiştir. Ardından bu görüntüler üzerinden ön-eğitilmiş modeller eğitilmiş ve test edilmiştir. Eğitim ve test oranı 50:50 olduğu durumda %97.93 (DenseNet201) 75:25 oranında ise %97.65 (EfficientNetB0) oranında bir başarım elde edilmiştir. Tek sensör kullanımı yerine öne sürülen strateji ile modellerin eğitilmesinin önemli bir iyileştirme yaptığı ortaya koyulmuştur.

Authors: Foriest Jasmine C , Mittal Shravika , Kim Eugenia , Carmichael Andrea , Lennon Natalie , Sumner Steven A , De Choudhury Munmun
Published: March 2024

Background

Suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide. Journalistic reporting guidelines were created to curb the impact of unsafe reporting; however, how suicide is framed in news reports may differ by important characteristics such as the circumstances and the decedent’s gender.

Objective

This study aimed to examine the degree to which news media reports of suicides are framed using stigmatized or glorified language and differences in such framing by gender and circumstance of suicide.

Methods

We analyzed 200 news articles regarding suicides and applied the validated Stigma of Suicide Scale to identify stigmatized and glorified language. We assessed linguistic similarity with 2 widely used metrics, cosine similarity and mutual information scores, using a machine learning–based large language model.

Results

News reports of male suicides were framed more similarly to stigmatizing (P<.001) and glorifying (P=.005) language than reports of female suicides. Considering the circumstances of suicide, mutual information scores indicated that differences in the use of stigmatizing or glorifying language by gender were most pronounced for articles attributing legal (0.155), relationship (0.268), or mental health problems (0.251) as the cause.

Conclusions

Linguistic differences, by gender, in stigmatizing or glorifying language when reporting suicide may exacerbate suicide disparities.

Authors: Yunianto Andhika Silva , Pribadi Avry , Kurniawan Hery , Junaedi Ahmad , Wahyuningsih Siti , Wiratmoko Michael Daru Enggar
Published: March 2024

Beekeeping practice was an alternative livelihood for communities around forest areas, offering a potential solution to reduce conflicts arising from the use and management of this ecosystem. Starting in the COVID-19 pandemic, the government introduced Apis mellifera from Java island into honey production in Sumatra due to its high productivity and adaptability to new environments. Therefore, this research aimed to explore the challenges and develop business models and value chains associated with commercializing Apis mellifera honey. The analysis used a qualitative descriptive method through observation and in-depth interviews with beekeeping entrepreneurs. There were two sales systems. The first was direct from beekeepers, and the second was indirect sales systems facilitated by collectors/industries. The collectors/industries gained a significant profit, approximately IDR. 80,000.00/kg, while beekeepers only received a minimum selling price. Marketing became a significant issue as beekeepers tended to focus more on cultivation efforts, resulting in a simplistic method of honey sales. Consequently, providing maximum economic value to the communities around the forest areas required synergy and assistance from related sectors.

Published: March 2024

Bioflocculation is a harvesting technique that employs flocculant agents such as bacteria and microalgae. The benefit is the absence of a chemical-added flocculant. Because bacteria need a particular medium, microalgae flocculant agents are more effective. This study used Anabaena sp. to collect fat, protein, and carbohydrates from the Glagah consortium. Three replications of those microalgae were grown in 300 ml of Bold Basal Medium culture for eight days. On the day of harvest, flocculant microalgae (Anabaena sp.) and non-flocculant microalgae (Glagah) were combined to accomplish flocculation. On the day of harvest, parameters were observed by combining Anabaena sp. with the Glagah consortium in the ratios 1: 1, 0.5: 1, and 0.25: 1. There were three times of each parameter test. Utilizing a wavelength of 750 nm, the proportion of precipitation was calculated spectrophotometrically. Bligh and Dyer were used to measure the lipids. The phenol sulfate technique was used to calculate the amount of carbohydrates. By employing the Bradford method, proteins were quantified. Biofocculation percentages and carbohydrate content were optimum on a ratio of 0.25:1. Lipid and protein content were optimum on a ratio of 1:1.

Published: March 2024

The availability of phosphorus (P) in ultisol acid soils presents a significant challenge due to its attachment to aluminum (Al) or iron (Fe) compounds. A potential solution to address this issue is the utilization of phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB). Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the potential of PSB originating from upland rice cultivation on ultisol soils. The bacterial isolates were obtained from soil samples taken from the rhizosphere area and root tissue of upland rice plants cultivated in Payabenua and Saing Villages, Bangka Regency. The pathogenicity testing encompassed hypersensitivity and hemolysis tests, while the P solubilization included the evaluation of the phosphate solubilizing index (PSI) and P dissolution. Subsequently, the selected isolates were subjected to phosphatase enzyme and organic acid content assessment. The results showed a total of 120 isolates, predominantly distributed in the Payabenua area and primarily consisting of endophytic bacteria. Among the six selected isolates, genus Burkholderia dominated four isolates, while the remaining isolates belonged to genus Serratia. Furthermore, in Burkholderia vietnamiensis, the solubility value of P in AlPO4 and Ca3(PO4)2 liquid media exhibited a range of 0.0013 to 0.0344% and 0.0008 to 0.1842%, respectively.

Pathogenic organisms in dairy products like yoghurt have for several years been a matter of public health concern. An investigation on the microbiological quality of 12 commercial samples of yoghurt gotten from four different brands designated A, B, C and D respectively were analysed using the poor plate method to determine their respective microbial qualities. Samples were randomly obtained from different locations in Bamenda and data were analysed using ANOVA. Results of the microbial enumeration showed that all samples recorded 0.0x101 cfu/ml,E coli counts. The total viable bacteria counts (TVC) of the samples were 0.17x105 cfu/ml, 5.5x105 cfu/ml, 6.0x105 cfu/ml, 6.3x105 cfu/ml for A, B, C and D respectively. There was no significant variation (p>0.05) in TVC among B, C and D. Meanwhile A and B both recorded 0.0x105 cfu/ml coliforms and C and D recorded 1.1x102 cfu/ml and 2.3x102 cfu/ml respectively. There was a significant variation (p<0.05) in coliform counts between C and D. D recorded the highest yeast and mould counts121.66x104 cfu/ml while A recorded the least 6.66x104 cfu/ml. The results of this study showed that three (B, C and D) out of four yoghurt brands sold in Bamenda at the time of this research were hygienically poor and hence not fit for consumption. In order to prevent public health issues, it is necessary for the right government bodies to pay close attention as to how commercialised yoghurt products are prepared, processed, stored, and distributed.

expansão da fronteira escrava ao sul do Brasil (Santa Maria da Boca do Monte, 1814-1822)
Authors: Goya Fontella Leandro , Santos Matheus Marcelo
Published: March 2024

Nas primeiras décadas do século XIX, os luso-brasileiros invadiram e se apropriaram das terras dos índios guaranis, no oeste do atual Rio Grande do Sul. Nesse processo, ao mesmo tempo que capelas e vilas foram sendo erguidas, uma sociedade católica e baseada na exploração da mão de obra escrava, isto é, nos mesmos moldes de outras partes da América portuguesa, foi sendo organizada. Para análise desse processo, o foco do presente estudo recai sobre o povoado de Santa Maria da Boca do Monte, entre os anos de 1814 e 1822. Ao contrário do que a historiografia costumava afirmar até os anos 1980, o espaço agrário sul rio-grandense caracterizou-se pela diversidade sócio-econômica e cultural dos agentes históricos. Nesse sentido, as informações obtidas por meio da quantificação dos registros de batismo da Capela Curada de Santa Maria expressam que, desde os primeiros tempos da ocupação e povoamento luso-brasileiro, esta localidade fora marcada por uma considerável presença de escravos, inclusive africanos, e pela significativa diversidade étnica. Esta última circunstância nos sugere que, embora a dinâmica social tenha ocorrido sob a hegemonia da matriz cultural ibérica, o produto cultural resultante teve considerável contribuição das matrizes culturais guarani(s) e africana(s). Por sua vez, a significativa presença de cativos africanos indica que essa região era tocada pelo tráfico atlântico de escravos, o qual, por seu turno, cumpria a função sociológica de reproduzir o lugar social de uma elite que buscava se distanciar do restante da população livre.

The use of information and telecommunication networks for criminal purposes: regulatory accounting and prospects for expanding criminal law authority
Authors: Skripchenko Nina Yu.
Published: March 2024

The rapid digital transformation of crime determines the high importance of criminal law regulation, which, according to some scholars, requires modernization to ensure a stricter state censure of persons encroaching on security in the information and communication space. Critically assessing this proposal, whose implementation will entail numerous norms that are constructively inconsistent with the requirements of non-characteristic property of a qualifying feature for acts, which threatens to artificially increase the danger of crime, the author proposes to amend the law, ensuring a unified definition of the relevant objective feature. The totality and multivariability of the use of information and telecommunication networks for criminal purposes actualizes the issue of determining the boundaries within which the involvement of communication reserves of the relevant technologies will form a mechanism for a criminal act, the significance of which has increased due to the broad interpretation by the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of the relevant objective feature in relation to the composition paragraph "b" part 2 Article 228.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The systematic implementation of the law may serve as a basis for a broad definition of this feature also within the framework of other compositions, posing a threat of judicial penalization of acts. The repressive nature of criminal law regulation precludes hasty reforming of the law, devoid of criminological substantiation. The decision to expand the differentiating meaning of the analyzed objective feature may be dictated by the emergence in society of social relations that are not regulated by law, giving rise to acts that pose danger, or to ensure a unified normative definition of related criminal acts. The methodological basis is made up of general scientific (analysis and synthesis, dialectics) and private scientific research methods (criminal-statistical, systemic structural, formal legal).

Metaphorical model of semantization of ideas of law
Authors: Yaroshchuk Inna A.
Published: March 2024

Law as a special kind of ideal being, generates its own system of ideas and meanings, the verbal representation of which involves not only directly nominative linguistic units, but also semantic tropes, namely, metaphor. Metaphor is a little-studied linguistic phenomenon in legal science, whose functioning in the language of law is denied by many researchers. However, metaphor is an integral component of the nature of law, realized in its various sources. Stemmed from the deep structures of language, metaphor allows appealing to a priori ideas of law of metaphysical level, not subject to rational argumentation, which becomes an integral part of the legal system, making the legal text understandable and accessible to the recipient. The relevance of the chosen topic is conditioned by the necessity to study the metaphorical meanings of legal language at the stage of creating law and interpreting legal realities. For this end the author uses the methods of semantic analysis, and, in general, raises interest in metaphor and metaphorical model in modern science, as well as functioning of metaphor in the legal space. The novelty of the idea underlying the paper lies in applying metaphorical models for legal texts interpretation. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to prove that metaphorical mechanisms are not alien to the language of law; metaphorical model is one of the most productive in the process of semantization of ideas of law. In the light of the above, application of linguistic tools, primarily, the methods of semantic analysis, to the study of legal language and the language of law, in particular, is relevant. Modern methodological tools of linguistics are able to supplement the traditional methods of legal argumentation and interpretation, actualizing their form and content. The main methods of the research are the linguistic-legal method, logical-linguistic method, methods of historical, contextual and motivational analysis. Frequency and universality of the mechanism of metaphorical modelling for the language of law, actualize new functions of metaphor.
Evaluating the BBC’s L2 approach to teaching English consonants online: A digitally oriented pedagogic phonetic analysis
Authors: Salama Amir H. Y.
Published: March 2024

The vast majority of online L2 teaching platforms have always remained preoccupied with digitalising demonstrable pedagogic practices that facilitate the learners’ comprehension of linguistic input on the digital screen. This is particularly observable in the field of L2 phonetics where instructors’ performance (vocalic, facial, and bodily) typically reflects such pedagogic practices based on their theoretical knowledge of the field. However, it is not always the case that instructors’ pedagogic-phonetic performance can demonstrate or stage this form of phonetics knowledge, even with the ubiquitous presence of Internet ‘digital gadgets’ that are technologically enabled by L2 teaching platforms online. As a corollary to this problem, the present study continues and develops previous research conducted by the author on a pedagogic-phonetic critique of the BBC’s Internet-based L2 teaching of English vowels. A synthetic methodology of Bernstein’s model of Pedagogic Recontextualising Field (PRF) and Moinuddin’s theoretical notion of ‘digital gadgets’ is utilised as DPRF to demonstrate how the BBC’s online L2 teaching of English consonantal pronunciations, though digitally transforming text-theoretic phonetics descriptions, has partially failed to employ crucial aspects of pronunciation pertaining specifically to voicing and manner of articulation. The research data comprises 22 video-based screenshots drawn from the BBC Learning English website with materials archived for public use. Informed by the above synthetic methodology of DPRF, the present study concluded that the BBC’s online teaching of English consonants has set up what can be described as a partial digital PRF; this has been ascribed to the proven hypothesis that the BBC-based website proffers a restricted space for digitally recontextualising ‘visible’ practices associated with consonantal pronunciation to the exclusion of phonetically productive aspects of L2 teaching segmental units of English consonants. As such, these aspects are recommended to be incorporated into the phonetic-pedagogic practices afforded by the BBC’s digital PRF (DPRF).
Timing of Faḍīlah, Ikhtiyār and Jawāz af Asr Prayer in Al-Majmu' in Normal and Abnormal Regionns
Authors: Diana Manzil Li’izza
Published: March 2024

Kitab al-Majmu’ secara teori fikih membagi waktu Asar menjadi waktu faḍīlah, ikhtiyār, dan jawāz berdasarkan fenomena pergerakan Matahari. Melihat fenomena pergerakan Matahari sebenarnya mudah pada daerah dekat khatulistiwa. Berbeda dengan daerah khatulistiwa, pada daerah lintang tinggi untuk menentukan fenomena pergerakan Matahari cukup sulit karena memiliki perbedaan siang dan malam cukup drastis dan tentunya hal ini akan lebih sulit lagi jika waktu faḍīlah, ikhtiyār, dan jawāz Asar belum diformulasikan dalam bentuk jam secara pasti. Makalah ini mendeskripsikan waktu faḍīlah, ikhtiyār, dan jawāz salat Asar dalam kitab al-Majmu’ dalam formulasi. Kemudian formulasi tersebut akan diaplikasikan  pada daerah normal dekat khatulistiwa dan daerah abnormal dengan nilai lintang tinggi. Hasil penelitian makalah ini menunjukkan bahwa faktor penting dalam formulasi waktu fadilah, ikhtiyar, dan jawaz asar adalah lintang dan deklinasi. Pada daerah normal waktu fadilah, ikhtiyar dan jawaz bisa diidentifikasi dan jamnya setiap hari berubah mengikuti pergerakan Matahari, tetapi pada daerah abnormal tidak semua waktu bisa teridentifikasi pada lintang utara di atas 68˚ kulminasi atas di bawah ufuk, dan waktu yang tidak teridentifikasi bisa menggunakan rumus interpolasi.

Authors: Lim Sung Hee , Cho Sung Wook , Chung Jae Hoon , Song Wan , Kang Minyong , Sung Hyun Hwan , Jeon Hwang Gyun , Jeong Byong Chang , Seo Seong Il , Jeon Seong Soo , Park Se Hoon
Published: March 2024

Purpose: To assess the feasibility and short-term efficacy of maintenance enzalutamide following first-line docetaxel plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with high-volume, metastatic castration-naive prostate cancer (mCNPC).Materials and Methods: The present study included 38 consecutive patients with mCNPC who did not have disease progression with ADT plus docetaxel between October 2022 and October 2023. Patients received a switch maintenance therapy with enzalutamide until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient withdrawal. Endpoints included time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression and safety.Results: Among the 38 patients, the median age was 68 years, and the most frequently observed metastatic site was bone (n=36), followed by lymph nodes (n=28), lung (n=8), and liver (n=1). The median duration of firstline docetaxel was 2.8 months (range, 2.7–5.0 months). At the time of commencing maintenance enzalutamide, the median PSA was 3.2 ng/mL (range, 0.01–258 ng/mL). Maintenance enzalutamide was generally welltolerated. A total of 11 patients (28%) discontinued enzalutamide, and the main reasons included adverse events (prolonged fatigue of grade 1 or 2, n=6), disease progression (n=3) and financial burdens (n=2). Median time to PSA progression was not reached, and 93% were PSA progression-free at 12 months.Conclusions: Maintenance enzalutamide is a feasible treatment option with potential clinical benefit for patients with high-volume mCNPC who were progression-free after first-line ADT+docetaxel.

El potencial rol terapéutico de este medicamento biológico se ha demostrado en ensayos clínicos en pediatría en otras patologías alérgicas como la dermatitis atópica y el asma, y ha mostrado un adecuado perfil de seguridad y efectividad en pediatría.
Casos clínicos: se trata de dos niños con antecedentes personales de atopia, rinitis alérgica, asma, dermatitis atópica y alergia alimentaria, que inician con síntomas gastrointestinales que conducen a confirmar el diagnóstico de esofagitis eosinofílica, en quienes a pesar de las diferentes estrategias de manejo no se logra un adecuado control de la enfermedad, y se considera que se benefician del manejo con dupilumab por la evolución de la enfermedad, así como la coexistencia de dermatitis atópica no controlada.
Conclusiones: Nuestros pacientes recibieron la dosis recomendada para su peso y edad aprobada en asma y dermatitis atópica, y se logró la remisión clínica e histológica. La mejoría de los síntomas gastrointestinales se acompañó de un mejor control del asma, la rinitis y la dermatitis. Ninguno de los pacientes tuvo efectos adversos al medicamento.
Feedbacks, Pattern Effects, and Efficacies in a Large Ensemble of HadGEM3-GC3.1-LL Historical Simulations

Climate feedbacks over the historical period (1850–2014) have been
investigated in large ensembles of historical, hist-ghg, hist-aer, and
hist-nat experiments, with 47 members for each experiment. Across the
historical ensemble with all forcings, a range in estimated Effective
Climate Sensitivity (EffCS) between approximately 3–6 K is found, a
considerable spread stemming solely from initial condition uncertainty.
The spread in EffCS is associated with varying Sea Surface Temperature
(SST) patterns seen across the ensemble due to their influence on
different feedback processes. For example, the level of polar
amplification is shown to strongly control the amount of sea ice melt
per degree of global warming. This mechanism is responsible for the
large spread in shortwave clear-sky feedbacks and is the main
contributor to the different forcing efficacies seen across the
different forcing agents, although in HadGEM3-GC3.1-LL these differences
in forcing efficacy are shown to be small. The spread in other feedbacks
is also investigated, with the level of tropical SST warming shown to
strongly control the longwave clear-sky feedbacks, and the local
surface-air-temperatures and large scale tropospheric temperatures shown
to influence cloud feedbacks. The metrics used to understand the spread
in feedbacks can also help to explain the disparity between feedbacks
seen in the historical experiment simulations and a more accurate
modeled estimate of the feedbacks seen in the real world derived from an
atmosphere-only experiment prescribed with observed SSTs (termed
amip-piForcing).

AbstractObjective There is currently no consensus
about managing upper airway obstruction (UAO) in infants with Robin
sequence (RS), in terms of treatment efficacy or clinical outcomes. This
study describes UAO management in UK/Ireland, and explores relationships
between patient characteristics, UAO management, and clinical outcomes
in the first two years of life. Methods Active surveillance of
RS throughout UK/Ireland via the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit
and nationally commissioned cleft services. Clinical data were collected
at initial notification and 12-month follow-up. Results 173
infants with RS were identified, of which 47% had additional congenital
anomalies or an underlying syndrome (non-isolated RS). Two-thirds (
n=119) required an airway intervention other than prone
positioning: non-surgical in 84% and surgical (tracheostomy) in 16%.
Nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) was the most common intervention, used in
83% ( n=99) for median 90 days (IQR 136). Surgical UAO
management was associated with prolonged hospital admission, higher
prevalence of neurodevelopmental delay (NDD), lower weight-for-age
z-scores, and delayed oral feeding. These findings were not attributable
to a higher prevalence of non-isolated RS in this group. Although more
commonly associated with non-isolated RS, growth faltering was also
identified in 48%, and NDD in 18%, of isolated RS cases.
Conclusions In UK/Ireland, most infants with RS are managed
with NPA and tracheostomy is reserved for refractory severe UAO.
Clinical outcomes and duration of use indicate that NPA is a safe and
feasible first-line approach to UAO. Longitudinal assessment of
neurodevelopment and growth is imperative, including in children with
isolated RS. Current variations in practice reinforce the need for
evidence-based treatment guidelines.
Wave-Convection Interactions Amplify Convective Parameterization Biases in the South Pacific Convergence Zone

Published: March 2024

Climate models have long-standing difficulties simulating the South
Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) and its variability. For example, the
default Zhang-McFarlane (ZM) convection scheme in the Community
Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM5) produces too much light precipitation
and too little heavy precipitation in the SPCZ, with this bias toward
light precipitation even more pronounced in the SPCZ than in the tropics
as a whole. Here, we show that implementing a recently developed
convection scheme in the CAM5 yields significant improvements in the
simulated SPCZ during austral summer and discuss the reasons behind
these improvements. In addition to intensifying both mean rainfall and
its variability in the SPCZ, the new scheme produces a larger heavy
rainfall fraction that is more consistent with observations and
state-of-the-art reanalyses. This shift toward heavier, more variable
rainfall increases both the magnitude and altitude of diabatic heating
associated with convective precipitation, intensifying lower
tropospheric convergence and increasing the influence of convection on
the upper-level circulation. Increased diabatic production of potential
vorticity in the upper troposphere intensifies the distortion effect
exerted by convection on transient Rossby waves that pass through the
SPCZ. Weaker distortion effects in simulations using the ZM scheme allow
waves to propagate continuously through the region rather than
dissipating locally, further reducing updrafts and weakening convection
in the SPCZ. Our results outline a dynamical framework for evaluating
model representations of tropical–extratropical interactions within the
SPCZ and clarify why convective parameterizations that produce
‘top-heavy’ profiles of deep convective heating better represent the
SPCZ and its variability.
Internally-driven variability of the Angola Low is the main source of uncertainty for the future changes in southern African precipitation

Variations in southern African precipitation have a major impact on
local communities, increasing climate-related risks and affecting water
and food security, as well as natural ecosystems. However, future
changes in southern African precipitation are uncertain, with climate
models showing a wide range of responses from near-term projections
(2020-2040) to the end of the 21st century (2080-2100). Here, we assess
the uncertainty in southern African precipitation change using five
Ocean-Atmosphere General Circulation single model initial-condition
large ensembles (30 to 50 ensemble members) and four emissions
scenarios. We show that the main source of uncertainty in 21st Century
projections of southern African precipitation is the internal climate
variability. In addition, we find that differences between ensemble
members in simulating future changes in the location of the Angola Low
explain a large proportion (~60%) of the uncertainty in
precipitation change. Together, the internal variations in the
large-scale circulation over the Pacific Ocean and the Angola Low
explain ~64% of the uncertainty in southern African
precipitation change. We suggest that a better understanding of the
future evolutions of the southern African precipitation may be achieved
by understanding better the model’s ability to simulate the Angola Low
and its effects on precipitation.
The BREEAM, the LEED and the DGNB certifications as an aspect of sustainable development
Authors: Piętocha Anna
Published: March 2024

Some of the most significant problems of industrialised countries are increasing consumerism, the growing demand for more and more energy and other natural resources, and the depletion of non-renewable sources. The visible consequences are environmental pollution and global warming. To address these issues, there is growing pressure on the use of alternative energy sources, the use of natural resources and the introduction of new technologies. The use of multi-criteria building certification systems, which evaluate their performance, is becoming increasingly common in the building industry. The BREEAM, the LEED, and the DGNB are among the most popular methods for assessing sustainable architecture, and they project management tools. The main task of the article was to define and describe the impact of documents related to sustainable development certificates on contemporary design and living and working conditions, as well as to demonstrate the relationship between the quality of architecture and environmental protection. Another goal is to indicate how dynamically the number of certificates issued in Poland is increasing. The study used the necessary research methods: analysis and criticism of applicable documents and literature, as well as an intuitive method based on personal experience. The scope of the work includes a discussion of the most frequently obtained certificates: the BREEAM, the LEED, and the DGNB, the achievements of which prove the use of solutions conducive to sustainable development.

On a Karhunen-Loève expansion based on Krawtchouk polynomials with application to Bahadur optimality for the binomial location family
Authors: Pycke Jean-Renaud
Published: March 2024

In this paper we extend to the discrete case a Karhunen-Lo?ve expansion
already known for continuous families of classical orthogonal polynomials.
This expansion involves Krawtchouk polynomials. It provides us with the
orthogonal decomposition of the covariance function of a weighted discrete
Brownian bridge process. We introduce a discrete Cram?r-von Mises statistic
associated with this covariance function. We show that this statistic
satisfies a property of Bahadur local optimality for a statistical test in
the location family for binomial distributions. Our statistic and the
goodness-of-fit problem we deal with can be seen as a discrete version of a
problem stated by Y. Nikitin about the statistic of de Wet and Venter. Our
proofs make use of the formulas valid for all classical orthogonal families
of polynomials, so that the way most of our results can be extended to
Meixner, Hahn, and Charlier polynomials and the associated distributions is
clearly outlined.
