The Eponyms of the Babylonian War of Tukultī-Ninurta I
Authors: Bloch Yigal
Published: August 2023

Following the recent reconstruction of the order of eponyms in the Dūr-Katlimmu archive by Nahm, this study considers the eponyms of the period in which Tukultī-Ninurta I waged war for domination of Babylonia, from his 13th regnal year onward. It is argued that recently published evidence supports the identification of the eponymy of Etel-pī-Aššur as the year in which Kaštiliaš IV of Babylonia was captured, and that the eponymy of Ellil-nādin-apli is to be placed three years later. The campaign to the lands between the Tigris and the Zagros, undertaken by Tukultī-Ninurta I in the eponymy of Ellil-nādin-apli, was probably directed against the power base of Kadašman-Ḫarbe II, including the city of Lubdu which then passed under Assyrian control. Following the dethronement of Kadašman-Ḫarbe II, Tukultī-Ninurta I maintained closer control over Babylonia, which did not prevent the king of Elam from putting an end to the reign of the Assyrian vassal Adad-šuma-iddina in the 22nd regnal year of Tukultī-Ninurta I.
Resizing Phrygia: Migration, State and Kingdom
Authors: Summers Geoffrey D.
Published: August 2023

This paper considers the concept of Phrygia, its origins at the cusp of the Early Iron Age, the beginning of the process of state formation marking the start of the Middle Iron Age and the possible development of a large unified kingdom under Midas son of Gordias. Secondly, the paper turns to consider the aftermath of the Phrygian state following the death of Midas and the period of Lydian hegemony together with the establishment of a new Phrygian petty kingdom east of the Kızılırmak (the Red River, the classical Halys River) in the first half of the 6th century BCE. In order to assess the extent of the territory of Phrygia, it has been necessary to consider evidence for neighbouring polities, particularly the Neo-Hittite kingdoms to the south and ‘Cappadocia’ to the southeast and east. Two maps graphically illustrate the principal suggestions.

Authors: Xu Shanrong , Liu Wenqi , Gong Li , Li Xinyang , Chu Wenwen , Han Meng , Shi Shuiqin , Zhou Duoqi
Published: August 2023

Gut microbiota are closely related to health, and the β2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) gene is associated with gastrointestinal diseases. However, little is known about the relationship between ADRB2 gene polymorphisms and intestinal microbiota. In the present study, we aimed to explore the relationship between ADRB2 gene polymorphisms and gut microbiota in Chinese Han adolescents. Data analysis showed that the relative abundance, PICRUSt function prediction, and Chao1 and ACE indices of gut microbiota were significantly different between males and females (P < 0.05). The rs1042711 was positively associated with the relative abundance of Actinobacteria, Coriobacteriia, Bifidobacteriales, Erysipelotrichi, and Erysipelotrichales. The rs12654778 was negatively associated with Bacilli, Lactobacillales, Bacteroidaceae, and Bacteroides. rs1042713 was positively associated with Lactobacillales and Bifidobacteriales. The rs1042717 was positively associated with Bifidobacteriales and negatively associated with Veillonellaceae. The rs1042719 was negatively associated with Erysipelotrichi and Erysipelotrichales and positively associated with Erysipelotrichi, Erysipelotrichales, Bifidobacteriales, and Ruminococcaceae in females. The rs1801704 was positively associated with Erysipelotrichi, Erysipelotrichales, Bifidobacteriales, Actinobacteria, Coriobacteriia, and Bifidobacteriales. The rs2053044 was positively associated with Ruminococcaceae, Dialister, Firmicutes, Clostridia, Clostridiales, Bifidobacteriales, and Faecalibacterium and negatively associated with Bacilli, Lactobacillales, Lachnospiraceae, and Porphyromonadaceae (P < 0.05). These results suggested that the relative abundance, diversity, and PICRUSt function predictions of male and female gut microbiomes differ significantly and that ADRB2 gene polymorphisms were associated with gut microbiome abundance in Chinese Han adolescents.
A comprehensive review on the photocatalysis of Congo red dye for wastewater treatment
Authors: Siddique Nida , Din Muhammad Imran , Khalid Rida , Hussain Zaib
Published: August 2023

Congo red (CR) dye, due to its structural stability and non-degradable nature, is hazardous for humans and the aquatic environment. Among various methods used for degradation of CR, photocatalysis have been widely reported as a cost effective and environment-friendly method. Besides, extensive studies have been carried out regarding the use of nanomaterial-based photocatalyst for degradation of CR. This review describes the basics of photocatalysis along with the factors affecting the process, mechanism, and kinetics in detail. Additionally, literature related to synthetic and bio-based stabilizing mediums in photocatalytic assemblies have been arranged in a systematic manner. Advanced hybrid materials, i.e., metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have also been described briefly. Future directions are discussed to address existing shortcomings in this field and also to expand research in this area.
Racism and Friends: The Relevance of Racial Literacy in Clinical Spaces
Authors: Robinson-Wood Tracy L. , Hewett Ruthann , Prithwie Sade , Murillo Paredes Viena
Published: August 2023

Racial literacy is presented as a framework for bolstering clinical skills among mental health providers, particularly when racism and/or other sources of oppression need to be addressed within clinical spaces. Traditional multicultural psychology training is intended to build upon students’ diversity awareness. There are, however, gaps that contribute to the predominantly White population of counseling trainees exiting their training with limited capacity to address racism and other sources of oppression. This manuscript maintains that racial literacy is a tool that can be used intersectionally to address the problem of racism and racism's friends (e.g., patriarchy and heteronormativity). A case study approach is used to center the discussion of the three domains of racial literacy. The first domain is recognition and refers to detecting, noticing, and observing sensory experiences and environmental stimuli (verbal and nonverbal). Reading is the second domain of racial literacy and describes an accurate naming of the sensory experience detected. The third domain is resolving which describes taking action, problem solving, and intervening.
An Ethical Stance for Justice-Doing in Community Work and Therapy
Authors: Reynolds Vikki
Published: August 2023

This writing illuminates a possible stance for an ethic of justice-doing as a frame for community work and therapy. This approach to justice-doing is offered as an imperfection project, and while incomplete and necessarily flawed, it has been helpful to groups of workers striving to practice more in line with our collective commitments for social justice. This approach is profoundly collaborative and informed by decolonizing practice and anti-oppression activism. I will describe the intentions that guide this stance, which include striving towards centering ethics, doing solidarity, addressing power, fostering collective sustainability, critically engaging with language, and structuring safety. Even an imperfect orientation towards justice-doing can open our work to transformations for ourselves, the people we work alongside, and our communities and society, and offer the potential for experiencing the social diving. This article is framed from a keynote delivered at the Winds of Change Conference held in Ottawa, Ontario in June 2012. I acknowledge the Algonquin people whose territories we met on. Finally, marcela polanco (2011), who describes her work as a therapy of solidarity, will offer a reflection on my position for an ethic of justice-doing.
Altered Thalamocortical Signaling in a Mouse Model of Parkinson's Disease
Authors: Swanson Olivia K. , Yevoo Priscilla E. , Richard Dave , Maffei Arianna
Published: August 2023

Activation of the primary motor cortex (M1) is important for the execution of skilled movements and motor learning, and its dysfunction contributes to the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). A well-accepted idea in PD research, albeit not tested experimentally, is that the loss of midbrain dopamine leads to decreased activation of M1 by the motor thalamus. Here, we report that midbrain dopamine loss altered motor thalamus input in a laminar- and cell type-specific fashion and induced laminar-specific changes in intracortical synaptic transmission. Frequency-dependent changes in synaptic dynamics were also observed. Our results demonstrate that loss of midbrain dopaminergic neurons alters thalamocortical activation of M1 in both male and female mice, and provide novel insights into circuit mechanisms for motor cortex dysfunction in a mouse model of PD.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTLoss of midbrain dopamine neurons increases inhibition from the basal ganglia to the motor thalamus, suggesting that it may ultimately lead to reduced activation of primary motor cortex (M1). In contrast with this line of thinking, analysis of M1 activity in patients and animal models of Parkinson's disease report hyperactivation of this region. Our results are the first report that midbrain dopamine loss alters the input–output function of M1 through laminar and cell type specific effects. These findings support and expand on the idea that loss of midbrain dopamine reduces motor cortex activation and provide experimental evidence that reconciles reduced thalamocortical input with reports of altered activation of motor cortex in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Renaming the Unnamed
Authors: Heinrich Rena M.
Published: August 2023

American eugenicist Madison Grant (1865–1937) received two memorials from the State of California in 1931 and 1948 (posthumously) for his efforts, presumably, in the conservation of the California Redwoods as a co-founder of Save the Redwoods League (established in 1918). This article will chronicle the efforts and campaign of historians David G. McIntosh (SENMC), Rena M. Heinrich (USC), and Paul Spickard (UCSB), who petitioned the California State Park system to reconsider these memorials, specifically the Madison Grant Forest and Elk Refuge in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in Humboldt County. Efforts are ongoing to reimagine the memorial at Founders Grove in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, which commemorates the founders of Save the Redwoods League.
Insufficient evidence to confirm benefit of adjuvant distal clavicle resection during rotator cuff repair: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Barth Johannes , Garret Jerôme , Nover Luca , van Rooij Floris , Clavert Philippe , _ _
Published: August 2023

The aim of this study is to determine whether adjuvant Distal Clavicle Resection (DCR) improves outcomes of Rotator Cuff Repair (RCR) in terms of ROM, clinical scores as well as reducing complications and/or reoperations.

This systematic review conforms to the PRISMA guidelines. Studies were included if they compared outcomes of RCR with and without adjuvant DCR and reported on postoperative ROM, clinical scores, complications, and/or reoperations.

Seven studies that comprised 1572 shoulders which underwent RCR at a follow-up ranged 8-54 months: 398 with adjuvant DCR and 1174 without DCR. No significant differences were found between patients that had DCR versus those that did not have DCR, in terms of postoperative clinical scores (ASES, Constant, pVAS), postoperative ROM (AFE, external and internal rotation), retear rate and reoperation rate.

There were no significant differences in ROM, clinical scores, or rates of retears and reoperations between patients that underwent RCR with or without adjuvant DCR.

There is insufficient evidence to support routine DCR during RCR; the incidence of new or residual acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) pain after RCR with adjuvant DCR is higher than following isolated RCR, which could in fact induce iatrogenic morbidity and therefore does not justify the additional surgery time and costs of routine adjuvant DCR.
Proximal humerus fractures: deltopectoral open reduction and internal fixation vs deltosplit minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis: which surgical approach provides superior results?
Authors: Oldrini Lorenzo Massimo , Sangiorgio Alessandro , Feltri Pietro , Marbach Francesco , Filardo Giuseppe , Candrian Christian
Published: August 2023

Purpose

To compare the two main surgical approaches to address proximal humerus fractures (PHFs) stratified for Neer fracture types, to demonstrate which approach gives the best result for each fracture type.

Methods

A literature search was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines in PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases up to 4 January 2022. Inclusion criteria were studies comparing open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with deltopectoral (DP) approach and minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) with deltosplit (DS) approach of PHFs. Patient’s demographic data, fracture type, Constant–Murley Score (CMS), operation time, blood loss, length of hospital stay, complications, fluoroscopy time, and radiological outcomes were extracted. Results were stratified for each type of Neer fracture.

Results

Eleven studies (798 patients) were included in the meta-analysis. No functional difference was found in the CMS between the two groups for each type of Neer (P = n.s.): for PHFs Neer II, the mean CMS was 72.5 (s.e. 5.9) points in the ORIF group and 79.6 (s.e. 2.5) points in the MIPO group; for Neer III, 77.8 (s.e. 2.0) in the ORIF and 76.4 (se 3.0) in the MIPO; and for Neer IV, 70.6 (s.e. 2.7) in the ORIF and 60.9 (s.e. 6.3) in the MIPO. The operation time in the MIPO group was significantly lower than in the ORIF group for both Neer II (P = 0.0461) and Neer III (P = 0.0037) fractures.

Conclusion

The MIPO with DS approach demonstrated no significant differences in the results to the ORIF with DP approach for the different Neer fractures in terms of functional results, with a similar outcome, especially for the Neer II and III fracture types. The MIPO technique proved to be as safe and effective as the ORIF approach.
How to treat stiffness after proximal humeral fractures?
Authors: Rojas J Tomás , Rashid Mustafa S , Zumstein Matthias A
Published: August 2023

Shoulder stiffness is a frequent complication after proximal humeral fractures treated with or without surgery. Shoulder stiffness is associated with high rates of absence from work and a significant financial burden for the healthcare system.

Secondary stiffness is characterized by additional extracapsular adhesions, including subacromial, subcoracoid, and subdeltoid spaces, usually derived from post-fracture or post-surgical extraarticular hematomas.

Several secondary causes may coexist with capsular and extracapsular adhesions decreasing the shoulder motion, such as malunion, nonunion, metalwork failure, infection, and osteoarthritis, among others.

Conservative treatment, usually prescribed for primary shoulder stiffness, has shown unfavorable results in secondary stiffness, and surgical intervention may be required.

Surgical interventions need to be patient-specific. Usually, open or arthroscopic fibro-arthrolysis and subacromial release are performed, together with plate removal and biceps tenotomy/tenodesis. In severe osteoarthritis, shoulder replacement may be indicated. Ruling out infection is recommended in every case.
Lumbar joint position sense measurement of patients with low back pain
Authors: Yang Qi-Hao , Wang Xue-Qiang
Published: August 2023

Lumbar position sense can be assessed by measurement instruments including the goniometer, isokinetic dynamometry, and electronic motion monitoring equipment, which have demonstrated relatively high reliability.

This literature provides a comprehensive overview of influencing factors of lumbar position sense measurement, including repositioning method, fatigue degree, and posture during the reposition. It highlights the significant role of muscle proprioception, which contributes to greater accuracy in active reposition compared to passive reposition.

The differences in lumbar position sense with different measurement positions may be explained by the presence of mechanoreceptors in the load-bearing structures of the lumbar spine, especially in the facet joint capsules. These mechanoreceptors play a crucial role in providing sensory feedback and proprioceptive information pertaining to the position and movement of the lumbar spine.

Individuals with low back pain (LBP) demonstrate alterations in lumbar position sense compared to those without LBP. The auto motor sensory feedback transmission mechanism of patients with non-specific LBP was more unstable than that of healthy people. These findings suggest that lumbar position sense may play a potential role in the development and perpetuation of LBP.

At present, the commonly used clinical assessment methods for determining position sense include both active and passive repositioning. However, neither method exhibits high sensitivity and specificity, leading to the poor comparability of relevant studies and posing challenges for clinical application.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Preterm Infants and Innovative Cardiac Interventions
Authors: Bloom David L. , Glatz Andrew C.
Published: August 2023

Management of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants has long been a challenging and controversial topic for neonatologists and cardiologists. Until recently, surgical ligation was the only available therapeutic option that could definitively close a PDA. A lack of proven benefit and concern for patient morbidity have led to a decrease in the number of surgical ligation procedures in the United States per year. There has been significant growth in the field of interventional cardiology in terms of technique and device availability for the purpose of PDA occlusion. Recent studies have demonstrated that transcatheter (TC) PDA closure is feasible and safe in patients weighing as low as 700 g. This review will describe the current strategy for the identification of a hemodynamically significant PDA, as well as the controversy that exists among medical, surgical, and conservative management strategies, and will specifically focus on the innovative TC techniques and devices available for preterm infants. We will also discuss the importance of large randomized trials to evaluate TC PDA closure compared with conservative medical management.

De la invisibilidad al reconocimiento: El “trabajo” en la tradición materialista y en los debates feministas contemporáneos
Authors: Bolla Luisina
Published: August 2023

Este artículo hilvana la tradición materialista con los debates contemporáneos sobre el trabajo, en el área de las teorías feministas. En particular, se concentra en las discusiones sobre el valor de los trabajos realizados tradicionalmente por las mujeres y las dificultades que conlleva su pleno reconocimiento. Ciertos locus ‒la doble jornada laboral de las mujeres, la división sociosexual del trabajo, la invisibilidad‒ reaparecen insistentemente y cruzan los diferentes períodos, permitiéndonos un abordaje diacrónico que muestra tanto la lucidez de las argumentaciones feministas clásicas como la vigencia de estas problemáticas y la necesidad de su crítica. Ello implica anudar dimensiones económicas y éticas ‒al decir de Fraser, problemas de redistribución, de reconocimiento y de representación‒ que conducen en última instancia a una reflexión sobre la justicia social.

Jñāna y Vijñāna: Gnosis blanca y Gnosis arco-iris en el Pūrṇādvaita de Śrī Aurobindo
Authors: Merlo Lillo Vicente
Published: August 2023

Partiendo de dos conceptos fundamentales en la tradición hindú (jñāna y vijñāna), nuestro artículo se centra en la filosofía de Śrī Aurobindo (1872-1950), concebida como Pūrṇādvaita, un no-dualismo integral en el queel jñānayoga, el camino del conocimiento, de la gnosis, adquiere una forma particular. El conocimiento supremo (jñāna), conocimiento del ātman que es brahman (ātmajñāna, brahmavidyā), es un conocimiento liberador, pero en esta visión se trata de un conocimiento integral que no solo accede a la realización dela Realidad última, sino también a la percepción directa de la enorme riqueza de las estructuras ydinámicas del Cosmos multidimensional. De ese modo, jñāna, la gnosis blanca (la realización dela Identidad última, del brahman saccidānanda) se despliega en gnosis arco-iris (vijñāna, en laterminología de Śrī Aurobindo) abarcando el conocimiento directo, supramental, de los tresmundos de la manifestación. Este conocimiento integral libera, pero no necesariamente delcuerpo, sino en el cuerpo. No necesariamente del saṃsāra, sino en el saṃsāra.

constitución de la ética: la ética del mercado y su crítica
Authors: Hinkelammert Franz J.
Published: August 2023

El presente artículo realiza un análisis de la ética del mercado y cómo funciona dentro de este último. En primer lugar, se desarrolla la comprensión de esta ética a partir de Platón, pasando por autores como Adam Smith, Kant, Max Weber y Wittgenstein. Seguidamente, se sostiene que la economía capitalista descontrolada implica un suicidio colectivo que no es meta consciente, pero sí consecuencia de lo que se está haciendo. Ante ese panorama se articula la afirmación de la vida como alternativa a ese suicidio colectivo. Se problematiza la teoría de los actos medio-fin sosteniendo que la relación medio-fin está siempre conectada con juicios vida-muerte, algo que Marx tenía claro. Se sostiene que en el centro del cálculo del mercado y de su ética se debe descubrir el criterio vida-muerte.
Racionalidad, ética y crítica en el humanismo de la praxis de Franz Hinkelammert
Authors: Acosta Yamandú
Published: August 2023

Se reflexiona sobre las relaciones entre racionalidad, ética y crítica en el humanismo de la praxis de Franz Hinkelammert en relación a su comprensión sobre estas relaciones en la crítica de Marx al capitalismo. A este propósito se presentan dos versiones de un mismo texto de Hinkelammert sobre Marx en el que esta cuestión es abordada. La comparación de las dos versiones permite calibrar la complejidad del problema, su elaboración y definitiva resolución en Hinkelammert. 
En el marco de la que se entiende como una actualización y ampliación por parte de Hinkelammert de la crítica de Marx se considera el papel de la ética tanto en la construcción y legitimación del capitalismo como en su crítica. La crítica al neoliberalismo como profundización y totalización del capitalismo en la actualidad, la crítica al socialismo y la crítica a la sociedad moderna occidental desarrolladas por Hinkelammert, hacen parte de la actualización y ampliación de Marx, que se aborda.Por la mediación del “sujeto de la praxis” y su “humanismo de la praxis” se considera la perspectiva crítico-constructiva alternativa al capitalismo, al socialismo y a la sociedad moderna-occidental, que sobre el criterio de la “racionalidad reproductiva” del hombre y la naturaleza hace a la perspectiva de la ética universal del “universalismo del hombre concreto” que Hinkelammert propone.

validez histórica mundial de la ironía. Kierkegaard, Sócrates y Hegel
Authors: Navarro Fuentes Carlos Alberto
Published: August 2023

Los objetivos de este trabajo versan en describir y comparar reflexiva y críticamente el significado de la ironía socrática (incluyendo la relación del griego con los sofistas) y la moderna (en particular de los románticos alemanes a principios del siglo XIX, a quienes Kierkegaard critica), incluyendo la importancia del término nihilismo. Se repasa y ejemplifica con extractos de la obra kierkegaardiana “Sobre el concepto de ironía”. La metodología consistirá fundamentalmente en diferenciar entre la ironía de Kierkegaard en sentido eminente y la ironía como negatividad infinita y absoluta (pura). Reflexionamos sobre lo que significó la figura y el pensamiento de Johan Ludvig Heiberg para el pensamiento de Kierkegaard y su definición de lo que debe ser un <> para el filósofo danés. Se analiza la crítica de Kierkegaard a las perspectivas sobre la ironía de Hegel, haciendo un comparativo sobre la comprensión de Kierkegaard de la particularidad y la universalidad, y la influencia de esta en su crítica de Hegel. Se resume la crítica de Kierkegaard al punto de vista de Hegel sobre Sócrates como una figura negativa.

¿Una “biopolítica democrática”? Formas de resistencia al poder a través de su resignificación
Authors: Smith Pacheco Vera
Published: August 2023

El presente artículo ahonda en las posibilidades teóricas de la noción biopolítica democrática para explorar su viabilidad. Igualmente, se propone el posicionamiento del concepto de la biopolítica democrática como herramienta teórica para analizar escenarios de injusticia social. Dentro de estas consideraciones, se cuestiona si el poder posee un signo negativo a priori o, dicho en otras palabras, si el poder en sí mismo supone meramente una práctica violenta y de dominación. Además, se rescatan aspectos como el componente relacional del poder, la solidaridad como práctica de resistencia y el cuestionamiento del sujeto como elementos teóricos de peso que permiten una crítica a los distintos escenarios violentos donde el poder explota y subyuga.

L’allegoria svelata: elementi misteriosofici ed esegesi Porfiriana nell’Antro delle ninfe
Authors: Furlan Anna Lucia
Published: August 2023

Cover and uncover: is the attempt to unveil and reveal the hidden meaning of the mysteries a paradox (Porph. Antr. 4. 16–17)? The present contribution aims at exploring Porphyry's interest in the commentary Περὶ τοῦ ἐν Ὀδυσσείᾳ τῶν νυμφῶν ἄντρου (Cave of the Nymphs) for the allegorical interpretation of images, symbols and terms variously linked with the Mysteries and encapsulating truths on the nature of the divine, the soul and ultimately the cosmos. More specifically, attention will be drawn mostly (but not only) on features connected with Orphism, here defined and understood as a form of ‘mysteriosophy’. The scope of this analysis falls within the study of Porphyry's use of allegorical exegesis but also within the broader discussion of different forms of philosophical religion in Late Antiquity, underscoring the complex but fruitful relationship between theology, philosophy and the Mysteries.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many aspects of people's lives and territories. It has a destabilizing effect on the economy due to both direct and indirect factors. In order to develop an effective policy to combat such emergencies, the problem of studying its consequences seems urgent.To form effective responses to the consequences of the pandemic, adequate scientific tools are needed to assess them. In many of the studies conducted, the impact of the pandemic was assessed without considering the previously existing socio-economic trends in the regions.The purpose of the article is to conduct a retrospective analysis of the consequences of economic instability caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the socio-economic development of the region on the example of the Sverdlovsk region. The monthly values of twelve main socio-economic indicators from January 2016 to December 2021 were analyzed. The study is based on the use of regression models with dummy variables and seasonal autoregression for forecasting, which allow considering the seasonal dependence of socio-economic indicators.To determine the seasonality of individual indicators, a graphical method, autocorrelation correlograms and spectral analysis were used. When determining the uniformity between the predicted and actual values during the pandemic, the parametric Student's criterion and the nonparametric Wilcoxon criterion were applied, which allowed us to obtain a statistically significant result regardless of the normality of the compared aggregates.The retrospective analysis made it possible to establish a significant heterogeneous impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on most of the analyzed spheres of life in the Sverdlovsk region.
A method for constructing non-elementary Cobb – Douglas production functions
Authors:   Irkutsk State Transport University, Bazilevskiy Mikhail
Published: August 2023

The actual scientific problem in machine learning is the development of new interpretable mathematical models, as well as methods and programs for their construction. Many well-known regression models have good interpretative properties, for example, linear and power models (Cobb – Douglas production functions). Previously, the author developed non-elementary linear regressions, the problem of constructing which was reduced to the mixed integer 0–1 linear programming problem.Based on non-elementary linear regressions, in this paper, for the first time, non-elementary Cobb-Douglas production functions are proposed, which include not only explanatory variables in degrees, but also all their possible pair combinations, transformed using binary operations min and max. The proposed models are linearized, which makes it possible to apply for their construction the mixed integer 0–1 linear programming problem formulated in the same way as for non-elementary linear regressions. As a result of its solution, the optimal structure model is automatically determined. The advantage of such a formulation is that the solution of the problem can be obtained faster than using enumeration procedures, and also that the signs of the estimates of the constructed model are guaranteed to be consistent with the meaningful meaning of the factors. At the same time, it is possible to control the requirements for the structure of the model using linear constraints on binary variables. In particular, the problem can be used to select the optimal structures for traditional elementary Cobb – Douglas production functions.The problem of modeling the gross regional product of the Tomsk region is solved. The following variables were chosen as explanatory variables: average per capita cash income of the population, investments in fixed capital, costs of innovative activities of organizations, average annual number of employees, cost of fixed assets, internal costs for research and development. The LPSolve package was chosen as the solver of the mixed integer 0–1 linear programming problem. As a result of solving this problem, the optimal structure of the non-elementary Cobb – Douglas production function was chosen, which contains all six explanatory variables in three regressors. The coefficient of determination for the constructed model turned out to be 0.997. All regression coefficients turned out to be significant according to Student's t-test, and their signs satisfy the meaningful meaning of the factors. An interpretation for the constructed model is given.

Authors: ZHANLAV Tugal , MİJİDDORJ R. , KHUDER Otgondorj
Published: August 2023

In this work, we first develop a new family of three-step seventh- and eighth-order Newton-type iterative methods for solving systems of nonlinear equations. We also propose some different choices of parameter matrices that ensure the convergence order. The proposed family includes some known methods as special cases. The computational cost and efficiency index of our methods are discussed. Numerical experiments are conducted to support the theoretical results.
APPLICATION OF DIFFUSE BACKGROUND ILLUMINATION FOR STATISTICAL DESCRIPTION OF A TWIN-FLUID SPRAY
Authors: Johnson Kelsey L. , Wanstall C. Taber , Bittle Joshua A. , Agrawal Ajay K.
Published: August 2023

Diffuse background illumination (DBI) is applied to analyze a cold, nonevaporating spray from a twin-fluid atomizer at typical atmospheric conditions. The DBI technique presented in this work provides liquid probability across the whole field of the spray to quantify liquid dispersal in the radial and axial directions. The spatial resolution is varied in five incremental steps from 25 to 200 µm/px to determine that a finer spatial resolution not only provides a greater fidelity to distinguish phenomenological features of the atomization process but also offers distinct information regarding droplet sparseness quantified by the gap size between droplets. Results from the spatial resolution sweep are analyzed to obtain cumulative probability and histograms of gap sizes at specific
pixel locations. The presented analysis offers alternate metrics to characterize twin-fluid atomized sprays for design validation and optimization of combustion performance.

Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of gas-non-Newtonian liquid flow patterns in microchannels using signal processing techniques including power spectral density (PSD) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) analyses. Square microchannels measuring 0.8 × 0.8 mm were used in this study. Water, 0.1 percent by weight (wt%) xanthan gum (XG) aqueous solution, and 0.2 wt% XG were employed as the working liquids, while nitrogen gas was used as the working
gas. The superficial velocities of the liquid and gas were varied between 0.05 and 1 m/s and 0.26 and 7.8 m/s, respectively. The flow patterns were recorded using a high-speed camera, while the pressure drop was measured using a differential pressure transducer. The pressure gradient data were analyzed using signal processing techniques to characterize the flow patterns. Furthermore, PSD and DWT analyses were found to effectively describe the characteristics of the flow pattern.
Potential of sodium chloride solution as mixing water in calcium aluminate cement modified with siliceous minerals

Published: August 2023

Calcium aluminate cement (CAC) is advantageous in marine engineering, and using materials directly from the sea when mixing CAC can reduce both construction costs and ecological pollution to the sea. However, using seawater as the mixing water in CAC is difficult due to the strength reduction. In this work, CACs were prepared with siliceous minerals (SMs) (diatomite and silica fume (SF)) and sodium chloride solution (SCS) as the mixing water. For comparison, other samples were immersed in SCS rather than mixed with SCS. The strength, mass and length changes of CAC mortars cured at 20°C and 40°C were determined. The phase assemblages and morphology were assessed using X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. Using SCS as the mixing water was beneficial to the later strength development of CAC. It promoted the formation of C2ASH8 in CAC pastes and showed no strength loss even when cured at 40°C. The strengths of the SM-modified CAC mortars mixed with SCS were higher than those immersed in SCS. The combination of diatomite and SCS significantly increased the CAC strength, especially at 20°C, while SF contributed to better stability in mass and length.

Published: August 2023

The factor influencing waste generation in the Indian construction industry has been examined in previous studies, along with the most significant factors generating waste. However, no study has answered the question: do different stakeholders have similar concerns? This study aimed to identify the significant factors generating waste from the multi-stakeholder's perspectives. The factors generating construction waste were identified through a comprehensive literature analysis. A total of 36 construction waste-generating factors were identified and clustered into six different groups: design and drawing, procurement and handling, construction methods and planning, human resources, site condition and external. A questionnaire survey was conducted to gather multi-stakeholder's viewpoints (designers, owners and contractors) and was ranked based on the relative importance index. The most significant factors indicated by all the groups were frequent design change, poor attitude and behaviour of workers, ineffective planning and scheduling and poor control and supervision. The findings could assist in facilitating waste management strategies to be more effective and focused. Overall, the study findings are expected to identify new patterns of co-operation among different stakeholders.
Modern Christian Architecture, Long Neglected but Still Looking for a Home in Contemporary Debates
Authors: Sternberg Maximilian
Published: August 2023

The book's final part includes essays by some leading scholars that have focused on the most widely acclaimed Western architects of Christian architecture. While it succeeds in demonstrating that ecclesiastical architecture was more central to the modern movement than generally accepted, most of the essays remain rather inward looking, both with respect to the place of religion in modernity and by remaining Western-centric in its scope. This review was commissioned alongside the one authored by Nikolaos Magouliotis. Both reviews should be read together for a comprehensive account of this volume set.
La teoría cognitiva de las proposiciones y metafísica de propiedades
Authors: Alvarado Marambio José Tomás
Published: August 2023

Ha sido uno de los alegatos centrales de la teoría así llamada “cognitiva” de las proposiciones que su carácter representacional —y, con ello, sus condiciones de verdad— es derivativo del carácter representacional primitivo de los actos cognitivos concretos por los que un agente predica una propiedad de un objeto. Las proposiciones heredan su carácter representacional porque son ‘tipos’ de actos cognitivos particulares que poseen el ‘mismo’ contenido representacional. Se argumenta en este trabajo que esta suposición está en conflicto con el hecho de que actos cognitivos concretos son instancias de ciertos tipos. Bajo la mayoría de las concepciones acerca de lo que funda el hecho de que una pluralidad de objetos comparte la ‘misma’ naturaleza —i. e., acerca de cómo son algo ‘uno’ en lo múltiple— el carácter cualitativo de un objeto está fundado en universales o en alguna otra construcción aceptable para el nominalista.
