Authors: Laskov Lasko
Published: November 2022

Byzantine neume notation is a specific form of note script, used by the Orthodox Christian Church since ancient times until nowadays for writing music and musical forms in sacred documents. Such documents are an object of extensive scientific research and naturally with the development of computer and information technologies the need of a software tool which can assist these efforts is needed. In this paper a set of algorithms for processing and analysis of Byzantine neume notation are presented which include document image segmentation, character feature vector extraction, classifier learning and character recognition. The described algorithms are implemented as an integrated scientific software system.
Theoretical Hyperbolic Model of a Partial Agonism: Explicit Formulas for Affinity, Efficacy and Amplification
Authors: Milanov Peter , Pencheva Nevena
Published: November 2022

The quantitative analysis of receptor-mediated effect is based on experimental concentration-responsedata in which the independent variable, the concentration of a receptor ligand, is linked with a dependent variable, the biological response. The steps between the drug–receptor interactionand the subsequent biological effect are to some extent unknown.The shape of the fitting curve of the experimental data may give some insights into the nature of the concentration–receptor–response(C-R-R) mechanism. It can be evaluated by non-linear regression analysis of the experimental data points of the independent and dependent variables, which could be considered as a history of the interaction between the drug and receptors. However, this information is not enough to evaluate such important parameters of the mechanism as the dissociation constant (affinity) and efficacy. There are two ways to provide more detailed information about the C-R-R mechanism: (i) an experimental way for obtaining data with new or selective or inactive compounds; and (ii) a theoretical way by making addi-tional assumptions and experimental observations about some elements of the C-R-R mechanism.Using the second way and basic postulates of the so-called occupation theory, a Theoretical Hyperbolic Model (THM) was developed in this study, in order to justify the nature of partial agonism in in-vitro bioassay studies.The model could be used for sensitive analysis of the partial agonist’s behavior from the experimental dose-response data. The explicit formulas derived from the model describe the affinity and relative Stephenson’s efficacy.Moreover, THM allows estimation of the receptor reserve of the almost full agonists under the assumption presented. When the design of the in-vitro bioassay allows assessing the maximal possible effect of a given isolated tissue, the affinity and relative efficacy of the respective partial agonists could be calculated from the experimental dose-response data. It was proved theoretically that the partial agonists have no receptor reserve. This finding confirms experimental results for partial agonists with varying potency. The THM is used further to explain the C-R-R mechanism and to understand more deeply the character of the affinity and efficacy of the agonists by introduction of a new agonist feature called amplification and the parameter amplifier. The THM is compared with other models related with the occupation theory of agonism. The differences and limitations of the application of THM are discussed.
Specifics in Applying Agile Software Methodologies in Portal Solutions
Authors: Todorov Nikolay , Eskenazi Avram
Published: November 2022

Agile methodologies are becoming more popular in the software development process nowadays. The iterative development lifecycle, openness to frequent changes, tight cooperation with the client and among the software engineers are turning into more and more effective practices and respond to a higher extend to the current business needs. It is natural to raise the question which methodology is the most suitable for use when starting and managing a project. This depends on many factors—product characteristics, technologies used, client’s and developer’s experience, project type. A systematic analysis of the most common problems appearing when developing a particular type of projects—public portal solutions, is proposed. In the case at hand a very close interaction with various types of end users is observed. This is a prerequisite for permanent changes during the development and support cycles, which makes them ideal candidates for using an agile methodology. We will compare the ways in which each methodology addresses the specific problems arising and will finish with ranking them according to their relevance. This might help the project manager in choosing one or a combination of the methodologies.
BPMN Analysis of Public Procurement
Authors: Semerdjieva Maria , Krastev Evgeniy
Published: November 2022

This paper formulates a realistic case study of a public procurement process, where the national legal system is taken in consideration. Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is used for encoding processes related to the analysis of public procurement tasks. Critical elements in the public procurement process that affect time, quality and cost are identified at the organizational, process execution and system levels. The main phases of public procurement are described and problems related to each phase are distinguished. A BPMN collaboration diagram is used to show how different participants in a process are related and interact with each other. Choreography diagrams of the latest version of BPMN are being used to model the abstract behavior of the participants in business interactions for the purpose of providing a standard mapping to the Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL) and enable the execution of this behavior.

A Variable Neighborhood Search Approach for Solving the Maximum Set Splitting Problem
Authors: Matic Dragan
Published: November 2022

This paper presents a Variable neighbourhood search (VNS) approach for solving the Maximum Set Splitting Problem (MSSP). The algorithm forms a system of neighborhoods based on changing the component for an increasing number of elements. An efficient local search procedure swaps the components of pairs of elements and yields a relatively short running time. Numerical experiments are performed on the instances known in the literature: minimum hitting set and Steiner triple systems. Computational results show that the proposed VNS achieves all optimal or best known solutions in short times. The experiments indicate that the VNS compares favorably with other methods previously used for solving the MSSP. ACM Computing Classification System (1998): I.2.8.
A Mixed Integer Quadratic Programming Model for the Low Autocorrelation Binary Sequence Problem
Authors: Kratica Jozef
Published: November 2022

In this paper the low autocorrelation binary sequence problem (LABSP) is modeled as a mixed integer quadratic programming (MIQP) problem and proof of the model’s validity is given. Since the MIQP model is semidefinite, general optimization solvers can be used, and converge in a finite number of iterations. The experimental results show that IQP solvers, based on this MIQP formulation, are capable of optimally solving general/skew-symmetric LABSP instances of up to 30/51 elements in a moderate time.

Noun Sense Disambiguation using Co-Occurrence Relation in Machine Translation
Authors: Choe Changil , Kim Hyonil
Published: November 2022

Word Sense Disambiguation, the process of identifying the meaning of a word in a sentence when the word has multiple meanings, is a critical problem of machine translation. It is generally very difficult to select the correct meaning of a word in a sentence, especially when the syntactical difference between the source and target language is big, e.g., English-Korean machine translation. To achieve a high level of accuracy of noun sense selection in machine translation, we introduced a statistical method based on co-occurrence relation of words in sentences and applied it to the English-Korean machine translator RyongNamSan.

A Bimodality Test in High Dimensions
Authors: Palejev Dean
Published: November 2022

We present a test for identifying clusters in high dimensional data based on the k-means algorithm when the null hypothesis is spherical normal. We show that projection techniques used for evaluating validity of clusters may be misleading for such data. In particular, we demonstrate that increasingly well-separated clusters are identified as the dimensionality increases, when no such clusters exist. Furthermore, in a case of true bimodality, increasing the dimensionality makes identifying the correct clusters more difficult. In addition to the original conservative test, we propose a practical test with the same asymptotic behavior that performs well for a moderate number of points and moderate dimensionality.

Software Tools for Digitization of Astronomical Photographic Plates
Authors: Kirov Nikolay , Tsvetkov Milcho , Tsvetkova Katya
Published: November 2022

In this paper we present tools for helping the process of digitization of astronomical photographic plates. The requirements of Virtual Observatory presume that any FITS file, which contains a digital image, has to be equipped with a complete header. Wide-Field Plate Database (WFPDB) offers most of the meta-data needed for the creation of FITS header. The header2011 software gives the user an appropriate tool for connecting WFPDB catalogues to digitized plate images. The use of modern scanners sometimes imposes conversion of files from the inner format of the scanner (or driver) into FITS format. The tif2fits software converts VueScan row-tiff format to FITS and also separates plate image and wedge image in case of scanning with grayscale wedge.

Published: November 2022

This paper presents the results of our data mining study of Pb-Zn (lead-zinc) ore assay records from a mine enterprise in Bulgaria. We examined the dataset, cleaned outliers, visualized the data, and created dataset statistics. A Pb-Zn cluster data mining model was created for segmentation and prediction of Pb-Zn ore assay data. The Pb-Zn cluster data model consists of five clusters and DMX queries. We analyzed the Pb-Zn cluster content, size, structure, and characteristics. The set of the DMX queries allows for browsing and managing the clusters, as well as predicting ore assay records. A testing and validation of the Pb-Zn cluster data mining model was developed in order to show its reasonable accuracy before beingused in a production environment. The Pb-Zn cluster data mining model can be used for changes of the mine grinding and floatation processing parameters in almost real-time, which is  important for the efficiency of the Pb-Zn ore beneficiation process.ACM Computing Classification System (1998): H.2.8, H.3.3.

Scope of Claims Supplementary to Rei Vindicatio in the Polish and German Law: Analysis and Comparative Remarks
Authors: Kledyńska Anna
Published: November 2022

The purpose of this article is to present the regulations on supplementary claims applicable under the Polish and German law. The concept of supplementary claims under the Polish law refers to claims regulated in Articles 224 to 225 of the Polish Civil Code. Under German law, the core of the regulations governing the types and scope of these claims is contained in the text of §§ 987 to 993 of the BGB. On the grounds of both the analysed legal orders, one can notice numerous similarities regarding the way these claims are shaped. The most fundamental is the desire to provide increased protection for the good faith possessor and to tighten the liability of the person in possession of the thing, who is already aware of a vindicatory action against them or is in bad faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the analysis of the solutions for supplementary claims also allows us to see significant differences, expressed primarily in the much more comprehensive regulation of the issue in question in the German law. The article offers a comparative legal analysis of the solutions functioning on the grounds of both these legal orders and conclusions.
Commentary on the Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 20 June 2022, Case C-273/18, London P&I Club
Authors: Szafrański Karol
Published: November 2022

The London P&I Club judgment was expected to settle down certain issues regarding the relationship between arbitration and the Brussels I Regulation by deciding whether a judgement made under a United Kingdom law in terms of an arbitral award may be recognized as a judgment within the meaning of Article 34 of the Brussels I Regulation to the extent this provision permits refusal of recognition on the grounds of irreconcilability with a judgement of a Member State addressed. Despite giving an affirmative answer to the above question, the Court of Justice of the European Union has introduced completely new guidelines and limitations on the use of the irreconcilability grounds for refusal of recognition in order to prevent parties from abusing arbitration in order to circumvent binding provisions of the Brussels I Regulation. The commentary explores the grounds and historical context of the London P&I Club judgment, aiming to uncover the CJEU’s train of thought beyond what has been written in the court opinion, as well as attempting to provide a broader perspective on its consequences, beyond English judgments in terms of an arbitral award.
Hospitales, educación médica e instituciones de salud durante la colonia y la República en Colombia
Authors: Geagea Michel Faizal
Published: November 2022

Fragmento

La Medicina colombiana surgió con la evolución de los conocimientos, bajo la influencia de las corrientes sociales, culturales y religiosas. En el período precolombino, la Medicina fue ejercida por los Shamanes, quienes con el conocimiento de los poderes terapéuticos de las plantas medicinales atendían al enfermo con rituales que elevaban el poder de la influencia psicológica.

Durante la conquista y la colonia, la atención de los enfermos era una labor eclesiástica, los sacerdotes estaban a cargo de la atención de los padecimientos que aquejaban a la población. La organización y la formación de los hospitales estaban a cargo de los obispos, quienes disponían de sus propiedades en función de la labor médica.

Ante la creciente necesidad de atención de la salud y la enfermedad, el Rey de España Carlos V (1500-1558), expide las Cédulas Reales 1537 y 1541 en las que ordena la creación de hospitales en todo sus dominios coloniales de ultramar, con cargo al Rey y a las colonias. Fue así que durante el período colonial se construyeron hospitales en La Española, hoy República Dominicana, Haití, México, Cuba, Nueva Granada, Quito y Perú.

Precursores de la investigación en cáncer y de la oncología
Authors: Rolfo Christian , Cardona Andrés F. , Ruíz Patiño Alejandro
Published: November 2022

Esta revisión narra las contribuciones históricas de los pioneros del cáncer, comenzando con Hipócrates y terminando con los creadores de la oncología médica. Se mencionan nociones místicas que pronto cayeron en el olvido, como que Paracelso y van Helmont sustituyeron la bilis negra de Galeno por misteriosos sistemas ens o archeus. Del mismo modo, episodios desafortunados como el de Virchow, quien afirmó que las hipótesis de Remak eran impropias, y que nos recuerdan que las deficiencias humanas pueden afectar a grandes científicos. Se destacan las antiguas observaciones, teorías y prácticas de interés histórico y científico, incluidos extractos, como precursores de los descubrimientos recientes que dieron forma a la medicina moderna. Los ejemplos incluyen la mastectomía total limitada con escisión de los ganglios axilares para el cáncer de mama, una práctica ahora de rutina; la materia icorosa de Peyrilhe como factor cancerígeno cuya transmisibilidad se probó un siglo antes de que Rous confirmara la relación entre el virus y el cáncer; la advertencia de Hill sobre los peligros del tabaco que anunció la actual pandemia de cáncer causada por el tabaquismo; el papel de Pott que reportó el cáncer de escroto en deshollinadores, la primera neoplasia ocupacional comprobada; la notable previsión de Velpeau de que habría que descubrir un elemento subcelular aún desconocido para definir la naturaleza del cáncer, un punto de vista confirmado por la genómica tumoral dos siglos después, que terminó con Röntgen y los Curie, y Gilman introduciendo la radiación (1896, 1919) y la oncología médica (1942), respectivamente.

Authors: Flórez Ruiz José Fernando
Published: November 2022

América Latina concentra el mayor número de democracias que practican el voto obligatorio en el mundo. Sin embargo, son escasos los estudios empíricos sobre sus efectos en la región. Esta investigación evalúa el impacto que ha tenido el sufragio obligatorio sobre la participación electoral en los países latinoamericanos, en función de la gravedad de las sanciones aplicadas a los abstencionistas. Luego hace un análisis de los efectos que ha mostrado el voto obligatorio en la experiencia comparada sobre otras variables distintas del abstencionismo: la libertad individual, la calidad del voto, la brecha social en la participación electoral, la distribución del ingreso, la corrupción y la legitimidad del sistema democrático de gobierno. También problematiza la ambigüedad del debate normativo que rodea la discusión sobre la conveniencia de esta modalidad de voto para la democracia. Por último, presenta un resumen crítico de la pobreza argumentativa que ha caracterizado a las iniciativas legislativas que han intentado adoptar la obligatoriedad del voto en Colombia.
Democracia participativa y representativa en México: ¿la consulta popular es la respuesta a la crisis de representación que enfrenta este país?
Authors: Wong Meráz Víctor Alejandro , Séptimo Rodríguez Enrique
Published: November 2022

El presente trabajo constituye una investigación que emplea el método deductivo e inductivo, por tal motivo se parte de tres conceptos fundamentales: democracia, democracia representativa y democracia participativa, cuyo objetivo principal es poder analizar si esas dos formas de democracia se pueden ejercer en México, partiendo de la consideración de que en este país se presenta una crisis de representación cuya existencia es evidente, al igual que la de diversos obstáculos entre ellos la pobreza. Al analizarse el caso concreto de México, se realiza una revisión particular sobre la consulta popular, toda vez que en el año 2012 se implementó constitucionalmente como un mecanismo, en el cual los ciudadanos tienen el derecho de participar, pero que hasta la fecha no se ha realizado un ejercicio democrático de este tipo.  En este orden de ideas, también se estudia la problemática jurídica y política que gira en torno a la consulta popular. Con base en lo anterior, en la parte última de este texto se emite una serie de conclusiones que, en términos generales, sostienen que es un peligro que a través de un mecanismo de democracia semidirecta en una sociedad desinformada, con poca educación, en situación de pobreza y en consecuencia con hambre, tome una decisión sobre asuntos de trascendencia nacional.
De las papeletas de votación a la tarjeta electoral
Authors: Ovalle Bernal Diego Alonso
Published: November 2022

Hemos vivido un avance desde las papeletas impresas en papel periódico hasta llegar a los modelos de tarjetas electorales impresas en papel de seguridad con código de barras, elaboradas por la Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil. La evolución de esta  herramienta para ejercer el derecho al voto se basó en estudios previos, laboratorios pedagógicos con la ciudadanía y jurados de votación. Hacemos referencia que esta evolución va de la mano con la  pedagogía electoral y que su objetivo primordial es la participación y la reducción de votos nulos o mal marcados. Es importante resaltar que se debe facilitar al ciudadano la escogencia de sus opciones en la tarjeta electoral, sin importar su nivel de escolaridad o sus preferencias políticas. Atendiendo los hechos y la lógica, implicaría que su intención de voto sea clara que y que no permita duda, así como que los jurados de votación la plasmen en las actas de escrutinio;  esto quiere  decir que esta herramienta facilita su interpretación y que en el momento de duda se deberá tener en cuenta el principio de la eficacia del voto, acción que represente la expresión libre de la voluntad del elector.
