Algorithms for Checking Isomorphism of Two Elementary Conjunctiоns
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University, Kosovskaya Tatiana , Zhou Juan ,   St. Petersburg State University
Published: September 2023

When solving AI problems related to the study of complex structured objects, a convenient tool for describing such objects is the predicate calculus language. The paper presents two algorithms for checking two elementary conjunctions of predicate formulas for isomorphism (matches up to the names of variables and the order of conjunctive terms). The first of the algorithms checks for isomorphism elementary conjunctions containing a single predicate symbol. In addition, if the formulas are isomorphic, then it finds a one-to-one correspondence between the arguments of these formulas. If all predicates are binary, the proposed algorithm is an algorithm for checking two directed graphs for isomorphism. The second algorithm checks for isomorphism elementary conjunctions containing several predicate symbols. Estimates of their time complexity are given for both algorithms.
Determinants of QRS duration in a diverse cardiomyopathy population of the Western Cape : implications for eligibility for cardiac resynchronization therapy
Authors:   , Dlamini Sanele Maxwell
Published: September 2023

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves quality of life in heart failure patients who have a QRS duration ≥120 ms. Relatively few patients presenting with heart failure to the Division of Cardiology at Tygerberg Hospital are candidates for CRT, mainly because of a QRS duration <120 ms. Objectives The objectives of this study were to determine the QRS duration in a diverse cardiomyopathy population served by Tygerberg Hospital and to identify possible determinants of QRS duration in this cardiomyopathy population. Method Approval for this study was obtained from Stellenbosch University Health Research Ethical Committee and Tygerberg Hospital and all patients signed informed consent. Patients with a left ventricular systolic function (LVEF) <35% were recruited prospectively from the cardiac clinic. LVEF was determined by echocardiography using Simpson’s biplane method. QRS duration was measured on a standard 12 lead ECG. Results Two hundred patients were included. The mean age was 52 years (range 18-84). Self identified ethnicity revealed 63% coloured, 22% black and 15% white patients. The mean QRS width was 105 ms. On univariate analysis, parameters associated with a QRS width ≥120 ms included: ethnicity (White >Coloured >Black) (p = 0.01), ischaemic heart disease (<0.01), age (<0.01), left ventricular size (p = 0.03) and male gender (p = 0.05). After correcting for covariates in a multivariate analysis, ethnicity and sex were no longer predictive of a broad QRS. Conclusion Although it appeared on first evaluation that there was a gender and ethnic disparity in candidates for CRT, multivariate analysis revealed that this is more likely due to differences in age, ischaemic aetiology and LV size.
An Alternative Approach to Nutrition: Intuitive Eating
Authors: Yıldırım İrem , Öney Başak
Published: September 2023

Intuitive eating is the act of eating in response to physiological hunger and satiety signals. In intuitive eating, environmental and emotional events are not affected, and it is possible to display intuitive eating behavior only by responding to bodily signals. Medical nutrition is a primary method in the treatment of obesity, the prevalence of which is increasing day by day. After medical nutrition therapy, drug therapy and surgical intervention come to mind. In addition to these medical interventions, intuitive eating and eating awareness practices, which are proposed approaches, are also methods with a high level of success in preventing obesity. In this review, the approaches to intuitive eating and the factors affecting intuitive eating behavior are discussed. Emotional eating theories, factors affecting emotional eating, and risk factors are emphasized, and the relationship between intuitive eating and emotional eating is examined. An inverse relationship was found between emotional eating and intuitive eating behaviors, and it was concluded that as the awareness of eating increased, the level of intuitive eating increased and emotional eating behavior decreased. Making peace with food is one of the basic principles of intuitive eating; it has been observed that the behavior of eating without any prejudice and without classifying foods as good or bad increases nutritional pleasure, and it has been concluded that individuals with eating behavior disorders, especially consuming foods that are described as “forbidden,” reduce their eating attacks.

Authors: Santos Camille , Horton Jennifer
Published: September 2023

For children with short stature who were born small for gestational age, 1 guideline suggests increasing human growth hormone dose when treatment response is unsatisfactory, while aiming for normal insulin-like growth factor 1 levels.

For children with idiopathic short stature, 1 guideline recommends against the routine use of growth hormone. It suggests initiating growth hormone therapy on a case-by-case basis, with a starting dose ranging from 0.24 mg/kg/week to 0.47 mg/kg/week, as well as conducting an assessment 12 months after initiation to optimize dosage.

The development of recommendations from guidelines included in this report was challenged by limited relevant evidence, as well as heterogeneity of growth hormone dose and frequency and treatment response found in available literature. Future guidelines should also consider patient perspectives, resource implications, and the facilitators of and barriers to therapy within the context of health care systems in Canada.

Published: September 2023

A presente pesquisa visa retratar a guarda compartilhada diante dos casos de divórcio litigioso, tendo em vista que há uma divergência entre os pais, é de suma importância que se busque estabelecer uma nova configuração familiar que tenha foco no desenvolvimento do menor, e, para isso, a guarda compartilhada mostra-se eficaz, dando ao indivíduo a convivência com ambos os pais, diminuindo a inserção deste na problemática dos pais, e garantindo que os responsáveis se sintam injustiçados no processo. O problema que originou o estudo baseou-se na seguinte questão: como a guarda compartilhada, concedida em processo de divórcio litigioso, favorece a aplicação do princípio do melhor interesse do menor? Assim, objetiva demonstrar que a guarda compartilhada favorece o desenvolvimento do menor mesmo em caso de divórcios conflitantes, e ainda mantém a autoridade familiar após o divórcio sobre o filho em igualdade de condições. Por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa fundamentada bibliograficamente, visou a demanda tanto dos operadores do Direito quanto da sociedade entenderem a guarda compartilhada e verificar sua eficácia, para, então, favorecer sua aplicação em melhor interesse do menor, no processo de divórcio litigioso.

Published: September 2023

Este artigo tem por objetivo discutir os desafios e apresentar alternativas para o ensino da física na Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) no contexto escolar em prisões femininas. A educação dentro do sistema prisional é fundamental para promover a ressocialização e a reinserção social das detentas, e a disciplina de física desempenha um papel importante nesse processo. No entanto, há vários obstáculos a serem superados, incluindo a falta de recursos didáticos adequados, a falta de formação específica dos professores e as dificuldades enfrentadas pelas próprias detentas. Neste contexto, metodologia utilizada para a pesquisa foi a do ensaio teórico que consistiu em uma síntese e análise crítica da literatura sobre o tema. Para tanto, foram discutidos os desafios e apresentadas alternativas para tornar o ensino da física mais efetivo no contexto prisional, como a adaptação do conteúdo para situações do cotidiano das detentas, a utilização de recursos audiovisuais e experimentos simples e a promoção de atividades práticas que estimulem a participação ativa das alunas. Por meio da análise dessas alternativas, espera-se contribuir para a melhoria do ensino da física na EJA em prisões femininas e, consequentemente, para a ressocialização dessas mulheres.
¿Fernando Gallego, pintor español?
Authors: Muñoz Gómez Elena
Published: September 2023

Fernando Gallego es un pintor tan famoso como poco conocido, documentado entre los siglos XV y XVI en Castilla, y al que se atribuyen muchas obras. Algunas de ellas están tan consagradas en la Historia del Arte que lo cuestionable de su autoría no ha impedido situarlo en el canon de la pintura española. ¿Cómo ha llegado a establecerse este canon de cultura nacional? La historiografía de Gallego, que abarca desde el siglo XVIII al XXI, permite observar la construcción retrospectiva de una figura que hoy determina programas educativos y museísticos de las instituciones productoras de memoria histórica e identidad colectiva. La deconstrucción crítica de las biografías del artista enfatiza el peso de las narrativas historiográficas detrás de muchos de estos textos. El análisis de conceptos centrales como estilo y nación revela cómo la idea de un pintor español, que en estos textos solía encarnar tanto su individualidad como su tiempo histórico, fue central para presentar las nociones nacionales acerca lo que España debería ser y establecer así una continuidad de valores.
Eğitim Felsefesinde Birey Yaşamını Toplumsal Boyutta Şekillendiren Kavramların İncelenmesi
Authors: Karaağaç Ümit
Published: September 2023

In this study, it is aimed to examine the concepts that shape individual life in the social dimension in the philosophy of education. Although the roots of the principles of a democratic society and the tradition of democracy go back to Ancient Greek society on the basis of educational philosophy, the problem of democracy was studied by political thinkers from a broad perspective until the nineteenth century, democracy was generally accepted as the administration of the masses, who were unenlightened and remained ignorant, and for some reason was rejected. Those who advocate libertarian thought express the virtues of democracy, which takes its place in the entire spectrum of ideology, such as liberal, conservative, socialist, capitalist and fascists, and try to prove their own understanding of democracy. Democracy and democratic governance in its general expression were fully rooted in Ancient Greece. Like the concepts of autocracy, aristocracy and bureaucracy, democracy is derived from the concept of kraytos, which means power and rule in Ancient Greek. There is a close relationship between the theories of freedom in parallel with the modern understanding of democracy and representative thought. Dec. When citizens are not directly in the administration, the claim that politicians serve the people they represent becomes the basis of democracy. How accurate and possible it is for a single person to represent others is a matter open to debate. In everyday use, representation, like a painting that reflects an individual or a natural being, means to depict and bring to peace. Although those who criticize equality as a generally accepted conceptual integrity sometimes try to reduce this concept to uniformity by associating it with community engineering and attempts to put everything in the same shape to facilitate their work, no important political scientist and social theorist have agreed with the idea of equality in the absolute sense, which is valid for everything. There is no real unity of words about how and in what way the concept of justice is exactly what it is. In everyday use, justice is used ambiguously in the sense of mercy, right, morally correct honesty. Justice is a norm term that is moral. Fair also means what is morally good; unfair means what is morally bad. However, justice does not mean morality alone, it defines certain moral decisions related to the distribution of reward and punishment by feature.

Eğitim Felsefesinde Vatandaşlık Düşüncesini Temellendiren Hukuksal Düzlemin İncelenmesi
Authors: Karaağaç Ümit
Published: September 2023

In this study, it is aimed to examine the legal plane that bases the idea of citizenship in the philosophy of education. In the context of educational philosophy, the issue of Decadence, which appears in opposition to the concept of order within the framework of citizenship thought, is among the most prominent fears as one of the components that are at the heart of Western political philosophy. Political thinkers have resorted to some methods to prevent human life from being dragged into chaos by grappling with the problem of order in a long-term period that has continued from theories related to the social contract in the seventeenth century to today. The rule of law is a constitutional principle that seems to be valued to the extent of sanctity wherever it is in countries governed by the principles of democracy. The main component of this is the principle that the understanding of law should be in the administration; the citizen is included in the understanding of the rule of law, and no person and public personnel can remain outside of it. The understanding of the rule of law has a long-term history in a principled sense, and this understanding stems from libertarian legal theories. In this sense, social scientists have maintained this understanding in the linearity that has come down to our day. In its original sense, the term right refers to the power and power as it is in the divine rights of nobility, clergy and, of course, kings. Together with this, the term is used in modern times in the sense of the right and authority to be subject to reciprocity and to be able to perform acts in an appropriate manner. Although it does not seem possible to state that there is a global acceptance of the idea of rights, many contemporary political thinkers have not found any problem in stating their idea in terms of the concept of rights and authority. In this context, rights, Decencies and social justice have been among the issues that need to be discussed less than other political terms. However, there is less consensus on the basis on which rights are based and who should have what kind of rights. Key Words: Philosophy of Education, Citizenship Thought, Legal Plane, Social Rights
PRINCIPAIS PARÂMETROS PARA PRODUÇÃO DE BIOGÁS A PARTIR DE DEJETOS SUÍNOS
Authors: Santos Robson Djalma Feitosa dos , Guimarães Camila Carla
Published: September 2023

A proteína suína, cada vez mais apreciada no mercado interno e externo, gera emprego e renda no Brasil. Entretanto, sem a destinação correta dos dejetos gerados a partir da criação destes animais, pode haver extensa contaminação do solo, cursos d’água e do ar, trazendo riscos ambientais e de saúde pública. Uma proposta para mitigar essa agressão ao meio ambiente é o uso de biodigestores, reatores que maximizam a ação de microrganismos anaeróbios que degradam estes resíduos, reduzindo a sua carga orgânica convertendo-a em biogás através do processo de digestão anaeróbia. O biogás, rico em metano, pode ser purificado e empregado para cozinhar, gerar eletricidade e até movimentar veículos. O restante do material que fica no biodigestor pode ser aplicado como biofertilizante. Assim, os resíduos que constituem um problema podem, portanto, ser a solução para diminuir os gastos com demandas energéticas e de fertilizantes. Para que se maximize a produção de biogás é importante conhecer os melhores parâmetros para a sua produção. Nesta conjuntura, o objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever os principais parâmetros para a digestão anaeróbia de dejetos suínos. A partir de uma revisão da literatura, as informações foram interpretadas e descritas. Os dados levantados apontam que a composição do substrato, temperatura, pH, presença de nutrientes e de inibidores no processo são parâmetros que devem ser controladas para que se atinja a máxima produção de biogás a partir da digestão anaeróbia de dejetos suínos.

The purpose of the work is to determine parameters of the working body and its operation modes, in which the most effective removal of snow and ice formations from the road surfaces is achieved, with the obligatory observance of the integrity and safety of the pavement and sidewalk surfaces. The article represents the developed design of the mounted shock-rotary working equipment for the destruction of snow-ice formations. Methods for calculating the design parameters of special working bodies of shear and impact action have been developed. The developed model of ice breaking allows increasing the efficiency of the icebreaking machine at the design stage in order to increase its efficiency by regulating and selecting its rational mechanical and geometric characteristics according to the given values of the cam penetration depth, strength, and ice thickness. An analysis of the experimental studies confirmed the adequacy of the model of cleaning the road surface. The relevance of the research and the expected social effect is justified by the possibility of reducing the number of accidents and winter injuries on the roads of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The study is funded by the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (grant No. AP09258973 «New technology for the production of innovative ice-cleaning road equipment»)

Necrobacteriosis of cattle causes significant economic damage to the animal husbandary, which consists of a decrease in milk productivity, a decrease in fulness, lost weight and productivity and the cost of treating sick animals [1].

Annual studies show that in many farms of the republic, purulent - necrotic diseases of the limbs in cattle and small cattle are widespread. In some farms, especially in the northern and eastern regions of the republic, the incidence of cows with necrobacteriosis reaches 30–56% of the total population [2].

Necrobacteriosis is characterized by purulent-necrotic lesions of the skin, mucous membranes of the underlying tissues, sometimes parenchymal organs; while, as a rule, distal parts of the limbs are affected. This infection affects all types of domestic animals and most wild animals. Cattle are most susceptible, especially pregnant heifers and dairy cows. Young animals are much more sensitive than adult animals[5]. Necrobacteriosis is a disease of the hooves of cattle caused by the pathogen Fusobacterium necrophorum. This disease is quite common both on large and small farms, and the fight against it remains an urgent problem due to the unsystematic use of antibiotics, resistance of the pathogen to drugs occurs, immunity decreases, and the treatment of infection is a laborious process [2, 4]. Necrobacteriosis affects many animal species, affecting various body systems [1]. The diagnosis of the disease was made in a complex manner, taking into account clinical signs and laboratory results. According to the results obtained, the isolated cultures, two isolates, according to morphological, cultural-physiological and biochemical properties, are attributed to the pathogen Fusobacterium necrophorum. The affiliation of the isolated pure culture of necrobacteriosis was determined by the determinant of bacteria of Bergi (1997).As a result, it was found that the causative agent of necrobacteriosis and the accompanying microflora were the most sensitive to tetracycline.

Published: September 2023

With the development of Internet technology and the popularity of digital devices, Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has been quickly developed and applied in various fields related to computer vision and artificial intelligence. Currently, it is possible to retrieve related images effectively and efficiently from a large-scale database with an input image. In the past ten years, great efforts have been made for new theories and models of CBIR, and many effective CBIR algorithms have been established. Content-based image retrieval helps to discover identical images in a big dataset that match a query image. The query image's representative feature similarities to the dataset images typically assist in ranking the images for retrieval. There are various past studies on different handicraft feature descriptors according to the visual features that describe the images: color, texture, and shape. However, deep learning has been the dominant alternative to manually planned feature engineering; it automatically takes the features from the data. The current work reviews recent advancements in content-based image retrieval.

Authors: Vizcaíno Haro Jaime
Published: September 2023

El lugar de nacimiento de Atahuallpa ha sido fuente de diversas teorías de narradores y cronistas que han usado la historia y memoria con el fin de develar su origen, así como comprender los motivos para que una de las civilizaciones más grande de América llegue a su fin. Este artículo es producto de una investigación bibliográfica de más de veinte fuentes históricas y contemporáneas que proveen pistas que comprueban que Caranqui, en el reino de Quito, fue la tierra natal de último Inca del Tahuantinsuyo. Además, se exploran las implicaciones del conflicto entre hermanos, hecatombes, animadversiones en las campañas expansionistas, traiciones por el hambre del oro y resistencias en la conquista que dieron lugar al futuro reclamo territorial entre Ecuador y Perú.
ALMANYA, RUSYA VE TÜRKİYE’DE ETNİSİTE REJİMLERİ VE MİLLİYET
Authors: KEPENEK Osman
Published: September 2023

Aktürk, bu çalışmasıyla literatüre “etnisite rejimleri” adıyla yeni bir kavram kazandırmıştır. “Etnisite rejimleri” kavramı yazarın seçmiş olduğu ülkelerdeki etnisite yönetim usullerini incelerken yapmış olduğu bir kategorilendirmedir. Çalışmasının temel iddiasını etnisite rejimlerindeki devamlılık ve değişimi açıklamak olarak açıklayan yazar, etnisite rejimlerini tek-etnili, çok-etnili ve anti-etnik olarak üç başlık altında incelemiştir. Söz konusu iddianın ispat edebilmesi içinse belirlenmiş olan üç ülkede hemen hemen aynı tarihsel aralıklar ele alınarak tüm ülkelere aynı sorular sorulmuştur. Bu soruları devletlerin neden etnisite politikalarını değiştirmeye ihtiyaç duyduğu, bu değişimin neden çok uzun yıllar boyunca gerçekleştirilemediği ve en nihayetinde hangi şartların hayata geçmesiyle birlikte söz konusu reformların gerçekleşebildiği şeklinde özetlemek mümkündür.
Terörü Önlemek: Durumsal Suç Önlemenin Terörle Mücadeleye Uygulanması
Authors: USTA Ersan
Published: September 2023

Bu makale, bir suç önleme modeli olan Durumsal Suç Önleme yaklaşımının ve buna bağlı literatürün terörizmi önleme uygulamalarına nasıl katkı sağladığını anlamak için genel bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Terörizmle mücadele literatürde terörizmin kriminolojik bakış açısıyla ele alındığı çalışmalara oldukça az rastlanmaktadır. Terör nihai olarak bir suç biçimidir. Hırsızlık, cinayet ve benzeri diğer suç türlerinde olduğu gibi terör suçu için de durumsal fırsat unsurlarının etkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Makalede öncelikle Durumsal Suç Önlemeyi oluşturan teorik ve kavramsal çerçeveye yer verilmektedir. Bir sonraki aşamada fırsat faktörünün terörizm söz konusu olduğunda ne şekilde etkili olduğu incelenmektedir. Daha sonra bu fırsat unsurlarını ortadan kaldırmak için önerilen önleme politikaları aktarılmaktadır. Son olarak ise terörizmin durumsal önlemesine yönelik getirilen eleştiriler ele alınmakta ve gelecek araştırmalar için öneriler sunulmaktadır.
A REVIEW ON ASSOCIATION OF LOWER LIMB COMPLICATIONS AND CANCER RISK RELATED TO TYPE 2 DIABETES
Authors: Arshad Mehreen , Khan Dr Faisal , Azeem Khan Dr Jawwad
Published: September 2023

Lower limb complications associated with diabetes are peripheral sensory neuropathy and peripheral artery diseases. Amputation risk increases with diabetes and mostly happens in the lower limb. Disabilities occur due to lower limb complications which then affect patients' health and social lives. Diabetes is associated with other diseases like cardiovascular issues, cancer, etc. Death risk in diabetes type 2 patients having lower limb complications is highly associated with cancer. When the interaction between peripheral neuropathy and peripheral artery diseases (PAD) with cancer death risk is measured, it showed a high association with PAD having a hazard ratio of 8.9 and peripheral neuropathy patients having a hazard ratio of 8.4. Among them, lower limb arterial thrombosis is highly associated with all cancer deaths. Lower-extremity complications are the leading cause of macrovascular and microvascular diseases. Other minor risk factors linked with lower limb complications are age, smoking, and obesity. The risk of lower limb complications and cancer is prevalent among smokers as compared to non-smokers. However, there is no particular study on this factor. Lower-limb malignancies are associated with many biological disorders like increased glycation end products, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress. In one study, cancer risk was measured among various diabetic patients having lower limb complications. The results showed less cancer death risk among the group of patients having proper glucose level and blood pressure level controls. Among all the cancers affecting diabetic patients, almost 4% are melanoma which if misdiagnosed during early stages due to various reasons can lead to biopsy. Acral melanoma is usually misdiagnosed in up to 40% of cases. The purpose of a biopsy is the diagnosis of the problem as well as the prediction of the exact stage of melanoma.

Published: September 2023

Augmented Reality (AR) is a human-computer interaction tool where the view of the real-world environment is enhanced by computer-generated elements or objects. This work is inserted in the context of AR, more specifically in systems with monitor based design, where image processing and computer vision tools are used, such as: spatial filtering, image segmentation, morphological processing, color image processing, Optical Flow and Homography. In this dissertation a new augmented reality algorithm with a markers tracking method based on linear equations is presented. This algorithm consists of segmenting the colored markers from an input frame, extracting characteristics of the markers that allow the estimation of lines for projection of a 2D image in a 3D plane of the scene. The obtained results are promising to demonstrate that the algorithm developed has excellent results when compared to the method proposed by Lucas and Kanade (1981), in relation to marker occlusion and consistency by maintaining an increase in reality at run time.

Published: September 2023

Currently, the use of biodegradable polymers for packaging application has been an imperative topic due to the environmental damage caused by non-biodegradable materials. In the present study, PBAT/ZnO biodegradable nanocomposites were prepared by melt processing and characterized by FEG-SEM, DSC, XRD, TDNMR and water activity analysis. The main results showed an increase in the Tc values for all produced formulations, indicating a change in the crystalline profile of the PBAT, which was corroborated by XRD results. FEG-SEM showed that the systems containing up to 1 wt.% of ZnO showed better nanoparticles dispersion, while formulations containing 3 and 5 wt.% of ZnO presented large aggregates. TDNMR provided a more detailed assessment, showing that PBAT/ZnO systems containing 0.5 and 5 wt.% of ZnO presented a higher heterogeneity at molecular level. Finally, water activity analysis showed that ZnO addition promoted an increment in the biosafety levels compared to neat PBAT, making the PBAT/ZnO nanocomposites more promising for food packaging application.
