Modificaciones químico-anatómicas en la madera de ejemplares del arbolado urbano de La Plata (Buenos Aires) causadas por hongos de pudrición blanca (Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota)
Authors: Murace Mónica A. , Luna María Luján , Lucentini Gustavo , Maly Laura , Saparrat Mario Carlos Nazareno
Published: September 2024

El contexto urbano resulta un ambiente propicio para la manifestación de pudriciones en el leño de los árboles como consecuencia del ataque de basidiomicetes xilófagos. Estos hongos causan pudrición blanca o castaña. Durante el desarrollo de las pudriciones blancas son atacados los polisacáridos estructurales y la lignina de la pared celular. Éstas pueden presentarse en raíces, fustes y ramas y afectar la albura o el duramen, impactando negativamente en la supervivencia y estabilidad de los ejemplares arbóreos, y consecuentemente en los servicios ecosistémicos que ofrecen a la población. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar los cambios químico-anatómicos que causaron diferentes hongos de pudrición blanca en el leño de Acer negundo, Prunus cerasifera y Quercus robur, latifoliadas frecuentes en el arbolado público de la ciudad de La Plata. Se trabajó con secciones de madera provenientes de ramas y raíces con evidencias de pudrición. La identificación de los xilófagos fue realizada a partir de los rasgos morfobiométricos de los cultivos fúngicos y de los esporomas, y aplicando también técnicas moleculares (PCR). Los estudios químicos fueron realizados mediante química húmeda y espectroscopía infrarroja transformada de Fourier (FT-IR). Las alteraciones anatómicas se estudiaron con microscopios óptico y electrónico de barrido. Las especies xilófagas identificadas fueron: Ganoderma resinaceum, Inonotus rickii y Phellinus pomaceus. A nivel químico y anatómico las maderas presentaron alteraciones compatibles con pudrición blanca. Los estudios químicos permitieron identificar dos tipos de pudrición blanca: simultánea en los leños de A. negundo y Q. robur, y selectiva en el leño de P. cerasifera. A nivel anatómico, ambos tipos de pudrición coexistieron en las muestras (pudrición moteada). Los cambios químico-anatómicos registrados en cada interacción patógeno/hospedante estarían indicando una posible pérdida de la capacidad resistente de los árboles atacados.
3D Object Detection via Residual SqueezeDet
Authors: Zhou Xuanhao
Published: September 2024

Three-dimensional object detection is a critical task in computer vision with applications in autonomous driving, robotics, and augmented reality. This paper introduces Residual SqueezeDet, a novel network architecture that enhances the performance of 3D object detection on the KITTI dataset. Building upon the efficient SqueezeDet framework, we propose the Residual Fire module, which incorporates skip connections inspired by ResNet architectures into the original Fire module. This innovation improves gradient flow, enhances feature propagation, and allows for more effective training of deeper networks. Our method leverages point cloud and image-based features, employing a Residual SqueezeDet to effectively capture local and global context. Extensive experiments on the KITTI dataset demonstrate that Residual SqueezeDet significantly outperforms the original SqueezeDet, with particularly notable improvements in challenging scenarios. The proposed model maintains computational efficiency while achieving state-of-the-art performance, making it well-suited for real-time applications in autonomous driving. Our work contributes to the field by providing a more accurate and robust solution for 3D object detection, paving the way for improved perception systems in dynamic environments.

Virtual masculinities: Gamification, escape, and body control in Ernest Cline’s ready player one (2011)
Authors: Olufisayomi Opeyemi Oripeloye
Published: September 2024

This paper examines the intersection of masculinity and technology in Ernest Cline's Ready Player One, focusing on how virtual spaces like the OASIS serve as arenas for constructing and performing masculinity. Through the lenses of gamification, technological escape, and control over the virtual body, the novel presents a nuanced critique of how men navigate identity in a digital, hyperreal world. The study argues that Ready Player One not only reflects hegemonic masculine ideals but also reveals the vulnerabilities and limitations of such constructions in both real and virtual realms. By analyzing the protagonist Wade Watts's journey, the paper explores how the gamification of identity in the OASIS allows for the performance of idealized masculinity while simultaneously exposing its fragility. It examines how technology serves as an escape from real-world vulnerabilities, offering temporary empowerment but ultimately highlighting the unsustainability of virtual refuges. Furthermore, the paper investigates how control over the virtual body in the OASIS reflects broader cultural pressures on men to conform to societal standards of masculinity. Drawing on scholarly work in digital media, gender studies, and gaming culture, this analysis contributes to a deeper understanding of how digital environments both construct and deconstruct traditional gender norms. Ultimately, the paper argues that while the OASIS provides a space for performing idealized masculinity, it also underscores the limitations of virtual identities, revealing the need for a more grounded understanding of masculinity that transcends the illusory empowerment offered by technology.

Published: September 2024

This study addresses the critical issue of terrorist financing through cryptocurrency platforms, a growing concern due to digital currencies' pseudonymous nature and global reach. The research explores the strategic role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in identifying, preventing, and disrupting the flow of illicit funds used to finance terrorism. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates qualitative case studies of documented instances of cryptocurrency-based terrorist financing with quantitative data analysis from significant cryptocurrency exchanges. Advanced AI and ML algorithms, including supervised learning models such as decision trees and neural networks, were applied to detect suspicious transactions indicative of terrorist activities. The findings reveal that AI and ML technologies significantly enhance the ability to identify patterns of terrorist financing within large and complex datasets, with models achieving precision and recall rates exceeding 90%. However, challenges remain, particularly regarding the quality and standardization of data across platforms, algorithmic biases, and the need for continuous updates to counter evolving tactics used by terrorist organizations. The study concludes that AI and ML present powerful tools for enhancing financial security. However, their successful implementation requires overcoming these challenges through collaborative efforts among stakeholders, including financial institutions, regulators, and technology providers. This research contributes to the growing field of economic crime prevention by offering a robust framework for integrating AI-driven solutions into the fight against terrorist financing on cryptocurrency platforms.

Authors: Diaz Ratna Iswara  , Nugroho Taufiq
Published: September 2024

The problem of drug abuse has become a major challenge in many countries, causing the number of prisoners addicted to narcotics to increase and causing overcrowding in prisons. This article discusses the influence of restorative justice as an innovative solution in dealing with drug users and overcrowding in correctional facility. Restorative justice replaces the traditional punishment-focused approach with one that is oriented towards rehabilitation, reconciliation, and the active participation of drug users in the rehabilitation process. In addition, restorative justice can help reduce overcrowding in prisons by reassessing the detention approach to drug users. Alternatives such as community-based rehabilitation programs and electronic monitoring could be implemented to alleviate pressure on the overcrowded prison system. By combining restorative justice and prison reform, governments can create more sustainable and humane solutions to the complex challenges of drug addiction.

Authors: Susetyo Rohadi  , Iryani Dewi , Setiawan Puguh Aji Hari
Published: September 2024

The Job Creation Law, or often referred to as the Omnibus Law, has become a hot topic of debate in the community. On one hand, there are those who support this law on the grounds that it can accelerate economic growth and create new jobs. History shows that MSMEs have tremendous resilience in the face of economic crises. When the economic crisis hit in 1998 and 2008, MSMEs were relatively able to survive compared to large companies. Despite their great potential, MSMEs in Indonesia face various challenges. One of the main challenges is limited access to financing. Many MSMEs struggle to obtain sufficient working capital to expand their businesses. In addition, the low level of education and skills of the workforce is also an obstacle in improving the productivity and competitiveness of MSMEs. The research process using literature studies began with a descriptive qualitative research type. Legal protection for MSMEs is currently better regulated through the Job Creation Law and Government Regulation Number 7 of 2021. Both regulations pay special attention to financing and legal assistance for MSMEs, including legal counseling, legal consultation, mediation, and out-of-court assistance

Published: September 2024

Forest and land fires are an unavoidable chore for Indonesia every year. Law enforcement continues to be pursued to hold the perpetrators responsible for the losses arising from the fires. This research analyses the validity of PT WMA's corporate position as a legal subject to be liable using the principle of strict liability for fires that occur in Indonesia. It also analyses the application of collateral confiscation in providing certainty over liability in accordance with the applicable verdict. This research is normative juridical in nature by analysing Decision Number 234/Pdt.G/LH.2016/PN.Plg by using several approaches, namely juridical approach, statutory approach and conceptual approach. Based on the results of the research, it is concluded that PT WMA is legally a legal subject that is absolutely responsible for the fires that occurred in its work area and the application of collateral confiscation can be carried out if this is confirmed in environmental legislation, especially to regulate the asset verification mechanism.

Examining the Influence of Autonomous Vehicle Behaviors on Travel Times and Vehicle Arrivals: A Comparative Study Across Different Simulation Durations on the Kirkuk-Sulaymaniyah Highway
Authors: Albdairi Mustafa , Almusawi Ali
Published: September 2024

This study delves into the effects of autonomous vehicle behaviors on travel times and vehicle arrivals along the Kirkuk-Sulaymaniyah Highway, employing simulations spanning 3600, 5400, and 7200 seconds. Across varied traffic volumes ranging from 350 to 950 vehicles and autonomous vehicle behaviors categorized as cautious, normal, aggressive, aggressive platoons, and a mix alongside human-driven vehicles, the research unveils significant findings. Results highlight substantial reductions in average travel times and heightened vehicle arrivals among autonomous vehicles, particularly those exhibiting aggressive behaviors, compared to their human-driven counterparts. Across all simulation scenarios, aggressive autonomous vehicles consistently demonstrate superior performance, showcasing potential efficiency gains through aggressive driving algorithms. Furthermore, with increasing traffic volume, the advantages of aggressive autonomous behaviors become more pronounced, suggesting their adaptability to congested conditions. However, safety implications and traffic flow dynamics warrant caution, especially in scenarios with high volumes and aggressive behaviors. These insights underscore the importance of further research and policy considerations to leverage the full potential of autonomous vehicles while ensuring safety and efficiency on highways.
On the interpolation in some classes of holomorphic in the unit disk functions
Authors: Sheparovych I.B.
Published: September 2024

There is considered an interpolation problem $f(\lambda_n )=b_n$ in the class of holomorphic in the unit disk $U(0;1)=\{z\in\mathbb{C}\colon |z|<1\}$functions of finite $\eta$-type, i.e such that
$\displaystyle (\exists A>0)(\forall z\in U(0;1))\colon \quad |f(z)|\leq\exp\Big(A\eta\Big(\frac A{1-|z|}\Big)\Big),$
 where $\eta\colon [1;+\infty)\to [0;+\infty)$ is an increasing convex function with respect to $\ln{t}$ and $\ln{t}=o\left(\eta ( t)\right)$ $(t\to+\infty)$.There were received sufficient conditions of the interpolation problem solvability in terms of the counting functions
$\displaystyle N(r)=\int\nolimits_{0}^{r}\frac{\left(n(t)-1\right)^+}{t}dt$ and $\displaystyle N_{\lambda_n} (r)=\int\nolimits_{0}^{r}{\frac{{{(n}_{\lambda_n}\left(t\right)-1)}^+}{t}dt}$.
Earlier, in 2004, necessary conditions were obtained (Ukr. Math. J., {\bf 56} (2004), \No 3) in these terms.For the moderate growth of $f$ (when the majorant $\eta=\psi$ satisfies the condition $\psi\left(2x\right)=O\left(\psi\left(x\right)\right),\ x\rightarrow+\infty$) that problem was solved in J. Math. Anal. Appl., {\bf 414} (2014), \No 1.In this paper, we remove any restrictions on the growth of $\eta$ and construct an interpolation function $f$ such that$\displaystyle (\exists A'>0)(\forall z\in U(0;1))\colon \quad |{f}(z)|\leq\exp\Big(\frac{A'}{(1-|z|)^{3/2}}\eta\Big(\frac{A'}{1-|z|}\Big)\Big)$.

Social Mobile Devices: Coordination Paradigms using Cloud & Bluetooth
Authors: Sohail Sayeed
Published: September 2024

Nowadays, smart devices have excellent computing power and sconnectivity and at the same time are used for various purposes. This creates the possibility for complex, cooperative multi-device programs. However, currently coordinating these devices requires implementing the coordination process separately for each purpose. This paper tackles the problem of coordinating several different types of devices by introducing a cloud-based paradigm for device coordination. Consequently, as cloud-based solutions typically assume established and fast internet connectivity, Bluetooth-based coordination paradigm is introduced to complement the architecture. As an end result the benefits and disadvantages of the both coordination paradigms are disclosed by evaluating the implementations.
Challenges Facing the Objective Measurement of Pain
Authors: Shen Max
Published: September 2024

The idea of establishing a definitive ’objective’ measurement of painhas been appealing for many decades, from the development of the do-lorimeter in the 1940s to an NIH grant in 2017 that calls for “a technol-ogy/device that objectively indicates the presence and level of pain”.In this article, I argue that this effort faces significant conceptual chal-lenges and risks adverse effects in patients by failing to clearly understandthe nature of pain.

Purpose: To evaluate the within-athlete sensitivity, longitudinal validity, and dose-response relationships of exercise heart rate (HRex) from a submaximal fitness test (SMFT) as a proxy measure of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).Methods: Observational, repeated measures design. Twenty-five female football players’ training loads (global positioning system and HR metrics) were collected throughout an 8-week pre-season period. A fixed-continuous SMFT protocol was administered weekly to evaluate HRex. A running time-trial assessment was conducted in week 2 and week 8 to calculate mean velocity (5:30vel) as a proxy measure of CRF. SMFT HRex measurement properties were determined via within- and between athlete correlations and linear-mixed models. Results: The overall preseason change in SMFT HRex derived from weekly repeated measures was –4.7 percentage points (90% CIs: –5.6 to –3.9). The association between SMFT HRex and 5:30vel changes was large (–0.55), with 90% CIs ranging from moderate to very large magnitudes (–0.71 to –0.31). A 1-% point decrease in SMFT HRex corresponded to an increase in 5:30vel of 0.13 [90% CIs: 0.03 to 0.24] km·h-1. Within-athlete correlations between training loads and SMFT HRex demonstrated moderate inverse relationships with external load parameters (–0.47 to –0.39), and small inverse relationships with HR-based internal metrics (–0.29 to –0.25). Accumulated high and very high-speed running throughout the entire preseason showed consistent dose-response relationships with SMFT HRex (moderate and large, respectively), while all other measures displayed unclear associations.Conclusions: SMFT HRex is a sensitive and valid tool to evaluate pre-season CRF changes in female football players.
Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS) and Pelvic Venous Disorders (PeVD) are not well represented in Obstetrics and Gynaecology Journals.
Authors: Whiteley Mark Steven , Imran Hannah A
Published: September 2024

Background: Pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS) or more latterly pelvic venous disorders (PeVD) is usually defined as a female health problem. However, it is our impression that gynaecologists rarely recognise this condition, and most of the research interest appears to be by vascular and venous surgeons, and radiologists. The aim of this study was to investigate if there was evidence to support this view.Methods: An online search of the PubMed® database was performed using the search terms “pelvic congestion”, “PCS”, “pelvic venous disorders” and “PeVD”, filtered for relevance to “pelvic veins”. Articles were collected from 2013 – 2024 and analysed for which type of journal they appeared in (obstetrics and/or gynaecology, radiology, vascular, venous, angiology, other) and what sort of article each was (original article, review, case report). Results: We found 281 articles published for PCS and 38 articles for PeVD, a total of 319 overall. There was a general increase in articles over the time course. However, 33.2% appeared in vascular and venous journals, 20.4% in radiology journals and only 11.3% in obstetric and/or gynaecology journals. There was no indication that the percentage of articles on PCS/PeVD was increasing in the female health journals over the time studied. Conclusion: PCS/PeVD is underrepresented in obstetrics and/or gynaecology journals. Most articles appear in vascular and venous journals. This gives rise to concern that women suffering from pelvic pain due to PCS/PeVD tend to consult gynaecologists, rather than vascular and venous specialists who are more actively involved in researching the condition.
Social Information Does Not Improve Wisdom of Crowds In Making Group Emotion Judgments
Authors: Yan Taiyi , Goldenberg Amit
Published: September 2024

Can wisdom of crowds findings be extended to emotion judgment? Wisdom of crowds research shows that social information—where individuals exchange independent judgments—can enhance group accuracy. This is attributed to the accuracy-revision mechanism, where individuals with more erroneous judgments make larger revisions. However, prior research focused on questions with an objective answers, leaving open whether extant findings extend to social judgments, such as judgement about others’ emotions? We examined this question in two experiments (N = 1,287). In Experiment 1, we found that the accuracy-revision mechanism was significantly weaker in emotion judgments compared to object judgments, driven by a weaker association between participants’ error and subjective confidence. In Experiment 2, groups synchronously engage in an emotion judgment task and we found social information did not improve group accuracy when making emotion judgements. Our results highlight crucial limitations of wisdom of crowds when extended into group emotion judgements.
The neurobiology of sentence production: A narrative review and meta-analysis
Authors: Yeaton Jeremy
Published: September 2024

Although there is a sizeable body of literature on sentence comprehension and processing both in healthy and disordered language users, the literature on sentence production remains much more sparse. Linguistic and computational descriptions of expressive syntactic deficits in aphasia are especially rare. In addition, the neuroimaging and (psycho)linguistic literatures operate largely separately. In this paper, I will first lay out the theoretical lay of the land with regard to psycholinguistic models of sentence production. I will then provide a brief narrative overview and large-scale meta-analysis of the neuroimaging literature as it pertains to syntactic computation, followed by an attempt to integrate the psycholinguistic models with the findings from functional and clinical neuroimaging. Finally, I provide a brief overview of the literature surrounding expressive syntactic deficits and propose a path forward to close some of the existing gaps.
Social Integration and Perceptions of Racism among Chinese Immigrants in France: Findings from the Chinese Immigrants in the Paris Region (ChIPRe) Study
Authors: Merli M. Giovanna
Published: September 2024

We describe the heterogeneity of the Chinese immigrant population in France and investigate how immigrants’ diverse patterns of social integration predict perceptions of racism, using survey data and in-depth interviews collected during the COVID-19 outbreak, a period during which anti-Chinese and anti-Asian xenophobia and racism were activated. Our unique data, collected for the Chinese Immigrants in the Paris Region (ChIPRe) Study, enable a classification of Chinese immigrants at the intersection of their migration histories, socio-demographic profiles, broad social integration indicators, and attributes of their social ties that characterize distinct patterns of social interaction with co-ethnics and with the wider French society. Our classification highlights three distinct groups: an established ethnic enclave of Wenzhou Chinese, an immigrant underclass whose members arrived in France after the dismantling of China’s centrally planned economy, and successive cohorts of international students, many of whom have gained professional employment in France or intend to stay in France after graduation from institutions of higher education. These distinct immigrant profiles predict different frequencies of subjective experiences of racism that are not attributable to the conventional predictors of racism perceptions alone and add nuance to the discrepancy between conventional social integration indicators and discrimination and racism found among the main immigrant groups and their children in many European countries.
Horizontal Education-Job Mismatch in a Medium-Sized Japanese Company
Authors: Hirao Tomotaka
Published: September 2024

Although the existence and negative effects of education-job mismatch in the labor market are widely known and accepted, literature on this topic in the Japanese labor market is lacking owing to unique labor market specifics and data limitations, despite the importance of the issue. This study examines the effects of horizontal education-job mismatch on organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and future career vision among employees from a medium-sized company in Japan using longitudinal personnel microdata and employee satisfaction survey data. The empirical results of this study show that horizontal education-job mismatch in a medium-sized Japanese company has a negative impact on employees’ psychological adjustment, even after controlling for individual-specific effects. The findings suggest that horizontal education-job mismatch has the potential for substantial economic, organizational, and individual costs, which is consistent with previous research in various global contexts.

Published: September 2024

Sexual violence in Indonesia has become a phenomenon that is rampant in society. Currently, the number of reported cases of victims of sexual violence in Indonesia recorded through the Online Information System for the Protection of Women and Children has reached 23,993 cases. Teachers have a very important role in teaching adolescents about sex education, so that they can avoid sexual deviance. The purpose of this study is to find out the role of teachers as educators in an effort to provide sexual violence prevention education to early adolescents. This study uses a quantitative descriptive research design with a population of 48 teachers selected using the total sampling technique. Data collection was carried out by questionnaire through google form and analyzed using the guttman scale. The conclusion of the test results carried out is valid and reliable. Data collection was carried out in January - February 2024 at MTsN 8 Blitar. The results showed that the most said parameter was the role of teachers as educators in an effort to provide sexual violence prevention education to early adolescents, namely explaining the maturity of attitudes to students, reaching 93.33%. There are differences of opinion among teachers regarding sexual education, due to taboos and stigmas, lack of adequate training and skills in providing sexual education. With this, it is hoped that teachers will improve their skills and competencies by participating in existing training.
