In The Flow Of History And International Relations: A Theorical Profile Of Contemporary China
Authors: Gnerre Orazio Maria
Published: July 2022

This paper intends to evaluate some elements that make up the worldview of contemporary China. To do this, these factors are dealt with (among others): the positioning that China assumes and wants to assume on the planet, and the ensemble of geopolitical theories that derive from it; and the conception of politics with respect to centralization / decentralization issues. In addition to this, the role of the economic (and geoeconomic) vision of contemporary China is also highlighted, in particular in relation to the thoughts of Xi Jinping expressed in 2017 at the Davos Forum. It becomes important to understand, in this sense, the idea of globalization and multipolarity that China extends, as a guiding principle, to its foreign policy. This is because this is based on cultural roots of distant ancestry. Through these interrelated interpretative levels, it is possible to understand the function that China plays within the contemporary world and its contribution of ideas and visions.

Published: July 2022

The administrative, economic, educational and military reforms carried out by the Wali of Egypt Muhammad Ali made Egypt a strong and stable state, laying a solid foundation for its development. The reforms of Muhammad Ali also had a positive impact on the Egyptian Armenian community. By the end of the 19th century, Armenian cultural life in Egypt had become more active, the number of schools had increased, new cultural and educational unions and organizations had appeared, and new periodicals were being published. At the beginning of the 20th century, Armenians occupied a prominent place in the Egyptian society. Armenians had churches, schools, cafes, and various Armenian newspapers were published in Egypt. Additionally, Armenians were the most prominent distributors of tobacco - there were many Armenian kiosks in various markets around the country. Around town, one could often meet an Armenian shoemaker, pharmacist, baker, doctor, teacher, tailor, etc.

On the 40th anniversary of the discovery of Helicobacter pylori
Authors: Reshetnyak V. I. , Burmistrov A. I.
Published: July 2022

The review is dedicated to the analysis of the accumulated data on the study of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) since the detailed description of this bacterium as the main etiological factor of gastrointestinal diseases. The work shows the dual role of H. pylori both as a bacterial pathogen for humans and as a potential representative of the normal microbiome of the stomach. In most scientific publications, the attention of researchers is focused entirely on the consideration of the pathogenic properties of H. pylori in the development of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and gastric cancer (GC), and also considers the development of effective methods of eradication therapy. Along with this, in recent years, more and more often there are works that indicate a potentially positive effect of this bacterium on the human body and the occurrence of a number of negative consequences after eradication therapy. In this connection, the question of the probable affiliation of H. pylori to the composition of the human microbiome is discussed. Data on the high prevalence of the microorganism in the population and its asymptomatic coexistence with humans indicate the persistence of the bacterium in the body, most likely as a representative of the microbiome. The accumulated data on the effect of H. pylori on human health demonstrate a clear ambiguity of the problem. In this regard, it is important to answer the question whether it is necessary to create programs for mass eradication of H. pylori, or whether it is necessary to approach the implementation of eradication therapy in a more personalized way.

Published: July 2022

The neural network runs slowly and lacks accuracy in power load forecasting, so it is optimized using meta-heuristic algorithm. Salp Swarm Algorithm (SSA) is a novel meta-heuristic algorithm that simulates the salp foraging process. In this paper, a parallel salp swarm algorithm (PSSA) is proposed to improve the performance of SSA. It not only improves local development capabilities, but also accelerates global exploration. Through 23 test functions, PSSA performs better than other algorithms and can effectively explore the whole search space. Finally, PSSA is used to optimize the weights as well as the thresholds of the neural network. Using the optimized neural network to predict the power load in a certain region, the results show that PSSA can better optimize the neural network and increase its prediction accuracy.

Published: July 2022

The most common consumer behavior was to pay in cash at a physical store in the past. However, with the rapid development and popularization of smart handheld devices and computers, merchants have had many innovative business models in recent years. For example, the digital cryptocurrency Bitcoin has the advantages of decentralization, anonymity, and the inability to tamper with data. If these benefits are combined with the current electronic payment financial operation model, they will be highly innovative. However, blockchain technologies have been applied to decentralized network architectures. As a result, the financial system will face anonymous crime, extensive data synchronization, and time-consuming transaction processes. This paper implements a P2P electronic payment system with a hierarchical structure based on the blockchain architecture, called CBP2P (Cooperative Bank Peer-to-Peer), to improve the defects and realize an accurate electronic payment system. Through the characteristics of the blockchain and cooperation between banks, we will enhance the security and availability of the system.

Published: July 2022

Food safety is related to the national economy and people’s livelihood and has always been the focus of the people and the government. Blockchain technology has characteristics of being decentralized, tamper-free, and having underlying openness. It can record and trace product information, prevent data tampering, effectively enhance the transparency of product information, and provide new methods and ideas for food safety traceability. At present, research hotspots mainly focus on the design and construction of a trusted blockchain traceability system, but the provided blockchain traceability system cannot provide a way to verify the authenticity of the information. This paper studies the credibility evaluation model of the members involved in the blockchain and the on-chain data quality model and provides a method to solve the credibility of the on-chain data. Meanwhile, the effectiveness of the method is validated by a case study.

 
Safety Analysis Method of Mixed Failure Model using Temporal Bayesian Network
Authors: Li Wei Li Wei , Li Wei Bing-Wu Fang
Published: July 2022

Dynamic Fault Tree (DFT) is used widely in the community of reliability and safety analysis of a complex system. DFT is a high-level modeling language lacking formal semantics, so we need to convert it to a mathematical model to analyze. The conventional analysis method can only solve the DFT with discrete or exponential distribution, but not the DFT with mixed distributions. To this end, we first propose a TBN framework to represent the DFT with mixed failure distribution by extending the BN and introduce Dirac delta functions and unit-step functions into the framework to represent the logical relationship and temporal relationship between the nodes, respectively. To run the standard BN inference algorithm over TBN, we fit the failure distribution of the nodes by using k-piece and n-degree polynomials. We then propose a transformation method from DFT to TBN and prove the equivalence of the transformation. Finally, the analysis of the DFT model of the X2000 avionics system shows that our approach can effectively analyze the reliability of mixed distribution failure models. Moreover, the accuracy and efficiency of the analysis are significantly better than current mainstream methods.

 
Fusing Dual Geo-Social Relationship and Deep Implicit Interest Topic Similarity for POI Recommendation
Authors: Lin Cui Lin Cui , Lin Cui Caiyin Wang , Caiyin Wang Zhiwei Zhang , Zhiwei Zhang Xiaoyong Yu , Xiaoyong Yu Fanghui Zha
Published: July 2022

Nowadays, POI recommendation has been a hot research area, which are almost based on incomplete social relationships and geographical influence. However, few research simultaneously focuses on the refined social relationship and the user deep implicit topic similarity under a reachable region. Under this background, a novel Dual Geo-Social Relationship and Deep Implicit Interest Topic Similarity mining under a Reachable Region for POI Recommendation (DDR-PR) is proposed. DDR-PR first adopts kernel density estimation to compute the user checking-in reachable area. Under the reachable area, the combined relationship similarity based on the link relationship and common check-in social relationship is computed out. Then, the deep implicit interest topic similarity between users is mined out adopting the proposed topic model RTAU-TCP. We formulate the combined relationship similarity and implicit interest topic similarity as two regularization terms to incorporate into matrix factorization, which can recommend new POIs for a user under his or her reachable area. Extensive experiments prove the superiority of DDR-PR.

 
Deep Learning for Joint Classification and Segmentation of Histopathology Image
Authors: Hyun-Cheol Park Hyun-Cheol Park , Hyun-Cheol Park Raman Ghimire , Raman Ghimire Sahadev Poudel , Sahadev Poudel Sang-Woong Lee
Published: July 2022

Liver cancer is one of the most prevalent cancer deaths worldwide. Thus, early detection and diagnosis of possible liver cancer help in reducing cancer death. Histopathological Image Analysis (HIA) used to be carried out traditionally, but these are time-consuming and require expert knowledge. We propose a patch-based deep learning method for liver cell classification and segmentation. In this work, a two-step approach for the classification and segmentation of whole-slide image (WSI) is proposed. Since WSIs are too large to be fed into convolutional neural networks (CNN) directly, we first extract patches from them. The patches are fed into a modified version of U-Net with its equivalent mask for precise segmentation. In classification tasks, the WSIs are scaled 4 times, 16 times, and 64 times respectively. Patches extracted from each scale are then fed into the convolutional network with its corresponding label. During inference, we perform majority voting on the result obtained from the convolutional network. The proposed method has demonstrated better results in both classification and segmentation of liver cancer cells.

 
Container-based Service Relocation for Beyond 5G Networks
Authors: Yeonjoo Lim Yeonjoo Lim , Yeonjoo Lim Jong-Hyouk Lee
Published: July 2022

With the advent of 5G networks, various research on Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) to provide high-reliability and ultra-low latency services are being actively conducted. MEC is an intelligent service distributed cloud technology that provides a high level of personal services by deploying cloud servers to edge networks physically closed to users. However, there is a technical issue to be solved, e.g., the service being used by a user does not exist in the new edge network, and there may even be situations in which the service cannot be provided in the new edge network. To address this, the service application must be relocated according to the location of the user’s movement. Various research works are underway to solve this service relocation issue, e.g., cold/live migration studies have been carried in legacy cloud environments. In this paper, we propose a container migration technique that guarantees a smooth service application relocation for mobile users. We design scenarios for adaptive handoff and describe the detailed operation process. In addition, we present our MEC testbed, which has been used to experiment our container migration technique.

 
Is Philosophy Western?
Authors: Davis Bret W.
Published: July 2022

This article examines East Asian as well as Western perspectives on the major metaphilosophical question: Is philosophy Western? Along with European philosophy, in the late nineteenth century the Japanese imported what can be called “philosophical Euromonopolism,” namely, the idea that philosophy is found exclusively in the Western tradition. However, some modern Japanese philosophers, and the majority of modern Chinese and Korean philosophers, have referred to some of their traditional Confucian, Daoist, and Buddhist discourses as “philosophy.” This article discusses debates in East Asia as well as in the United States and Europe over the discipline-defining question of whether the academic field of philosophy should include Asian and other non-Western traditions of profound and rigorous—even if methodologically as well as conceptually unfamiliar—thinking about fundamental matters. It argues that, henceforth, the field of philosophy should be conceived as dialogically cross-cultural rather than as exclusively Western.
The Rhythm of Hegel’s Speculative Logic
Authors: Montani John
Published: July 2022

This article argues that Hegel’s speculative logic has an essentially rhythmic structure. Rhythm shows up in paragraphs 56–61 of the Preface to the Phenomenology of Spirit, where Hegel introduces the speculative proposition and explains his speculative logic. The article begins by analyzing some critical sections in the Preface to show how rhythm secures the formal passage of the subject into the predicate within the speculative proposition. Then, I briefly explore how Hegel’s speculative logic gets taken up in the writings of Gadamer and Nancy to show how each of these thinkers renews the rhythm of Hegel’s speculative logic in their own appropriations of it. The article concludes by extending the scope of speculation, taking it from the proposition to non-propositional forms of expression, and then finally to the sensible world.

Authors: Attia Attia Abdalla , Amer Mohamed Abd Elmawgod , Elmezayen Mohamed Mohamed
Published: July 2022

Background: Premature ejaculation (PE) is defined as persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation before, upon, or shortly after penetration and before the person wishes it. Aim and objectives: The aim of this study was to measure the serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D) in lifelong premature ejaculation patients and evaluate the role of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D) supplementation in these patients with low or in sufficient level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25 (OH) D). Subjects and methods: A total of 80 consecutive men who presented with lifelong PE. Results: The mean PEDT showed a statistically significant decrease after treatment.  The mean IELT in the included cases before treatment with vitamin D is 31.14 ± 20.511 and the mean IELT in the included cases after treatment is 48.86 ± 26.432.  The mean IELT showed a statistically significant increase after treatment. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that lower vitamin D levels are associated with the acquired PE. The result of our study showed that the role of serum vitamin D levels should be investigated in the etiology of acquired PE. Perhaps supplementation of vitamin D in men with acquired PE will ameliorate the sexual health of these patients.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a neuromuscular disease caused by a deficiency of dystrophin, which causes the skeletal and cardiac muscles to degenerate. Targeted deletion of DMD, RIPK3, and MLKL has been shown in several studies to prevent dystrophin deficiency and necroptosis, a critical hypothesis in the etiology of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. AIM: This research aimed to see if using CRISPR/Cas9 to target DMD, RIPK3, and MLKL is an effective therapeutic and if it has a long-term effect on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. METHODS: Abstracts and titles of articles were searched for specific keywords to summarize them using the method used in this study. The researcher will look over the entire article to see if it is valuable and relevant to the topic. RESULTS: CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing in MDX mice can improve the primary genetic lesions that cause muscular dystrophy (DMD) and prevent disease development. Furthermore, Ripk3/Mlk1 double knockout completely blocked necroptosis susceptibility in necroptosis-sensitive cell lines, each to an indistinguishable degree. CONCLUSION: DMD, RIPK3, and MLKL gene editing by CRISPR/Cas9 is effective dystrophin insufficiency, sarcolemma fragility, poor intracellular signaling, myocyte death, inflammatory infiltration, muscle replacement, and necroptosis. However, more research is needed to determine its side effects and safety.

El agua es uno de los recursos más importantes para la sostenibilidad de la vida en el planeta tierra, de ella depende la formación y el mantenimiento de todo ser vivo, se encuentra naturalmente en cualquier espacio de este planeta, y desde los inicios de la vida ha determinado los asentamientos de seres humanos representando un factor clave al momento de elegir o no algún sitio para establecer un caserío, ciudad o cualquier forma de organización humana. De allí que los ríos, mares, lagos entre otras formas de concentración del líquido sea un preciado recurso natural y marque toda actividad en torno al ser humano. Sin embargo, en las últimas décadas este recurso ha sido manipulado de tal forma que hoy en día se cuentan con estructuras hechas por el hombre para lograr controlar los cauces de ríos y artificialmente lograr la formación de una especie de lago, esto con la finalidad de almacenar el vital líquido para determinados fines. Tal es el caso de los embalses, los cuales han sido creados para múltiples fines, entre los que destacan la generación de electricidad y el suministro de agua a ciertas poblaciones. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo mostrar las diferentes metodologías aplicadas para lograr eliminar o mitigar los sedimentos que se depositan en los embalses, mediante una revisión bibliográfica. Entre los principales métodos se encuentra el dragado, flusching la dilución controlada entre otros.

El Salvador está ubicado en una zona de muchos volcanes, forma parte del Cinturón de Fuego del Pacífico, posee un intenso vulcanismo de subducción, que da lugar a la presencia de sitios con actividad hidrotermal, los cuales son de interés para la implementación de aplicaciones que hagan uso del recurso geotérmico del territorio. En esta investigación se emplea información satelital, con el propósito de obtener datos geofísicos de emisividad de la superficie del suelo, temperatura ambiente, temperatura superficial terrestre, además de la información espectral que el satélite Landsat 8 es capaz de proporcionar. La obtención de estos datos es de utilidad para el cálculo de índices de vegetación, temperatura superficial, transmisividad y principalmente para el cálculo de flujo de calor en la tierra, que es el objetivo principal del estudio. Con la información obtenida se realizó un mapa del territorio de El Salvador con el que se muestra y clasifica la información referente al flujo de calor, además de realizar análisis en puntos de interés en los que se tiene actividad geotérmica. El mapa generado de flujo de calor fue de utilidad para identificar áreas que presentan manifestaciones hidrotermales superficiales que son de posible interés geotérmico, los flujos de calor en estas áreas fueron obtenidos para cada escena satelital capturada por Landsat 8 en el año 2019 y se analizó el promedio de flujo de calor anual. Se utilizarán zonas volcánicas que presenten altos flujos de calor como referencia de manifestaciones superficiales.

O Centro Cirúrgico (CC) é um setor hospitalar de extrema importância, cujo objetivo são eventos anestésico-cirúrgicos, diagnósticos e terapêuticos, os quais podem ser tanto emergenciais quanto eletivos. Os profissionais da enfermagem que atuam nesse contexto estão expostos a diversos fatores ocupacionais estressantes, entre eles a falta de materiais necessários para as atividades do cotidiano do CC. Analisar a organização do trabalho da Enfermagem de um CC, bem como as repercussões da falta de insumos/materiais no processo saúde-doença. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, qualitativo e descritivo que ocorreu no centro cirúrgico de um hospital universitário do sul do país entre setembro e dezembro de 2018. A coleta de dados no CC baseou-se na Análise Ergonômica do Trabalho (AET), realizando-se entrevistas semi-estruturadas de até 15 minutos com os participantes. Evidenciou-se que o maior problema que influencia no processo saúde-doença do trabalhador no setor estudado é a falta de materiais e insumos necessários. Além disso, outras dificuldades como a infraestrutura do local e os diferentes vínculos empregatícios também foram citados pelos participantes. Conclui-se que há necessidade de mudanças gerenciais e o desenvolvimento de novas estratégias para melhorar a qualidade do trabalho para os profissionais do CC.Palavras-chave: Saúde; Trabalho; Enfermagem; Centro Cirúrgico.

Em dezembro de 2019, na cidade de Wuhan (China), iniciou-se a pandemia causada pelo novo coronavírus (COVID-19). A partir dessa desastrosa situação, medidas para o controle e prevenção precisaram ser tomadas, como o distanciamento social e a restrição de aulas presenciais. Com isso, o objetivo do presente artigo foi relatar a experiência do ensino remoto emergencial (ERE) pós pandemia na disciplina de Projeto de Aprendizagem V (PAV) do Curso de Fisioterapia da Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR). Tal experiência ocorreu no segundo semestre de 2020, durante o transcurso da pandemia por COVID-19, em que as atividades presenciais foram substituídas por atividades remotas. Participaram cinco estudantes da UFPR, que estavam no 5° período do curso de Fisioterapia e que faziam parte da mesma equipe do projeto de pesquisa. Para os resultados e impactos no processo ensino-aprendizagem dos alunos durante as atividades remotas, foi solicitado o relato de experiência de cada integrante do grupo. A partir disso, conclui-se que a experiência foi válida, visto que o aprendizado da equipe não foi prejudicado e houve aprofundamento teórico na temática de pesquisa do grupo.Palavras-chave: Pandemia; Fisioterapia; Processo ensino-aprendizagem.
DESAFIOS, CONQUISTA E LIMITES PARA A EVANGELIZAÇÃO DA PRELAZIA DE TEFÉ A PARTIR DAS CARTAS DE DOM MARIO NA DÉCADA DE 1980

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar os desafios enfrentados pela Igreja Católica na Amazônia. Partindo do Sínodo da Amazônia e tendo como referencial o documento de Santarém, a distância entre os dois documentos reserva dados significativos da Igreja na Amazônia. De modo particular o Sínodo da Amazônia, numa releitura da presença da Igreja nestas terras, lança novas propostas quanto do Documento de Santarém publicado anos anteriores apresenta as tomadas de decisões. A presente investigação utilizou-se do método qualitativo de cunho bibliográfico, portando em sua estratégia um recorte cronológico na região especifica da Prelazia de Tefé. A partir das análises foi possível mapear significativas questões que implicaram na atuação da Prelazia de Tefé, na região do Médio Solimões. O recorte cronológico foi a década de 1980, as cartas revelam uma plataforma de exigências e correspondências que apresentam o panorama da Igreja numa região de grande extensão territorial, sendo difícil o atendimento à todos que precisam. Esse momento também foi muito frutífero as soluções encontradas pela Igreja Católica. As cartas trazem consigo um corpo fidedigno de dados e fatos, ao passo que o desejo do Bispo era conceder informação para que os seus interlocutores acompanhassem o processo de evangelização da Prelazia de Tefé. Utilizamos autores tais como: Hummes, Mata, Martins e Machado, Pereira, Prodanov e Freitas e Schaeken para subsidiar teoricamente nossas análises.

A presente pesquisa analisa a origem e a expansão da Igreja Evangélica Nova Aliança na cidade de Imperatriz. A Igreja Nova Aliança representa um tipo de pentecostalismo que vem fazendo frente às igrejas pentecostais mais tradicionais da cidade, ao adotar o modelo de evangelização em células, com um discurso e liturgia renovados e adaptado às demandas dos indivíduos que a ela se filiam, atende sobretudo os sujeitos que buscam novas alternativas de fé e espiritualidade, contrapondo-se aos modelos de igrejas estabelecidas a mais tempo na cidade de Imperatriz. Nesse sentido, a partir da análise de dados do censo do IBGE, de entrevistas com alguns líderes da igreja, de aplicação de questionários a trinta de seus membros e da observação in loco em algumas de suas congregações, foi possível identificar, mesmo que em linhas gerais, a lógica de estruturação e desenvolvimento desta instituição religiosa em Imperatriz. Os dados apontaram que, desde sua origem, esta igreja buscou se apresentar como uma comunidade de fé com um forte ethos de afirmação do mundo e com uma estrutura mais flexível de culto do que suas concorrentes do pentecostalismo clássico, o que resultou em seu crescimento e estruturação no campo religioso de Imperatriz.
OS EVANGÉLICOS E A POLÍTICA: CONDICIONANTES E LÓGICAS DO ENGAJAMENTO POLÍTICO DE LIDERANÇAS PENTECOSTAIS DA IGREJA ASSEMBLEIA DE DEUS EM IMPERATRIZ-MA

O estudo aborda a questão das intersecções entre o universo evangélico e a política em contexto amazônico recente, com foco sobre os padrões de seleção e as lógicas coletivas e individuais de engajamento político de lideranças da Igreja Evangélica Assembleia de Deus (IEADI) na cidade de Imperatriz, Maranhão. Resultante de uma pesquisa de mestrado concluída recentemente, no presente texto exploramos tanto os mecanismos de filtragem, seleção e preparação dos agentes destinados a exercer essas funções de mediação religiosa e política, quanto os perfis e as percepções subjetivas que essas mesmas lideranças têm sobre si, sobre a instituição e o lugar que deveriam ocupar no espaço público local/nacional. Assim, se as conclusões apontam para uma simetria de transformações dentro das unidades que compõem esse campo institucional, a observação das vias de engajamento político desses agentes no contexto amazônico é concebida como um laboratório para compreensão do universo em pauta de uma perspectiva mais refinada e menos substancializada, dando espaço para apreender algumas das ambiguidades e peculiaridades desse modo de participação política.
HIBRIDISMO CULTURAL ACREANO: UMA REFLEXÃO HISTÓRICA E CONCEITUAL SOBRE A RELIGIÃO DA BARQUINHA
Authors: Assarice dos Santos Ricardo , Flores Douglas
Published: July 2022

A Amazônia em sua complexa e múltipla realidade simbólica é repleta de diversos elementos que se encontram e se transformam. Compreender fragmentos desse processo não esgota tal complexidade, mas amplia a compreensão da mesma. Criada em 1945 no Acre por Daniel Pereira de Mattos, a religião da Barquinha se mostra um movimento simbólico fértil – apesar de ser a linha ayahuasqueira menos explorada no campo dos estudos da religião brasileira – mostrando-se um desafio. O processo de simbolização e ritualística desse movimento religioso é um exemplo ímpar da complexidade do campo religioso brasileiro, uma vez que contempla três principais influências religiosas: a matriz negra, ameríndia e européia, envolvendo, principalmente, elementos da umbanda, candomblé, tambor de mina, pajelança amazônica, o uso da ayahuasca, catolicismo popular, kardecismo e esoterismo(s). O objetivo deste esboço é apresentar sucintamente a história da Barquinha como uma das expressões religiosas afro-amazônicas e tecer reflexões acerca das elaborações presentes na literatura sobre o tema acerca dos conceitos de sincretismo, ecletismo e hibridismo religioso, apontando este último como uma das melhores alternativas para delinear o processo de aglutinação e transformação deste campo simbólico.
