When self-supervision met Query Expansion
Authors: Liu XiangZheng
Published: September 2023

The self-supervised training method can fully leverage the structural characteristics of unlabeled datasets, enhancing the technical prowess of natural language processing. We explore the application of self-supervision’s advantages to query expansion. To achieve this, we amassed a substantial query corpus and trained it using a generative model. Simultaneously, we introduced the SG-BERT/GPT2 extension method, leveraging two generators, BERT and GPT2. We also conducted an analysis of the impact on code search before and after generative model training, as well as the influence of the original query length on the expanded model. Experimental results consistently demonstrate the superiority of the trained model over the untrained one. Additionally, in deep learning-based code search methods, query expansion proves most effective for datasets with relatively short original query lengths, while longer expansions yield the opposite effect. Finally, when compared to various established query expansion methods, the SG-BERT/GPT2 expansion method, rooted in the self-supervised generative model, consistently outperforms them across multiple language test datasets. With ongoing self-supervised generation and continuous optimization of the query corpus, further enhancements in effectiveness can be achieved.
An exterior plane algorithm for linear programming
Authors: Sampath G
Published: September 2023

An algorithm that solves a linear program with planes exterior to the feasible region is described. Given a linear program in a standard form, a constraint derived from the objective function is added to make the program infeasible, the objective function is removed. The added constraint is incrementally and unidirectionally moved toward the solution vertex in cycles. On reaching the solution vertex the program becomes feasible, this signals both the solution of the program and termination of the algorithm. Because of unidirectionality, the algorithm is guaranteed to terminate. With N variables, B-bit fixed point arithmetic, and feasibility testing complexity of O(f(N)), the complexity of the incremental exterior plane algorithm is 2B O(f(N)). With binary search, the complexity is ~O(B f(N)). Feasibility checking may be done by finding the optimum of a related LP in each cycle. Unlike in established LP methods it is only necessary to know if an intermediate constraint set is feasible or not, neither the optimum of the related LP nor the basic feasible point obtained is used or needed. The algorithm works efficiently with deformed products. Thus with a 43-dimensional Klee-Minty cube (which would require > 1012 pivots with the simplex method) the solution is obtained in less than 100 binary search cycles, similar results are obtained with Goldfarb-Sit cubes. The exterior plane algorithm is compared qualitatively with the simplex, ellipsoid, and interior point algorithms and miscellaneous others.

Linguistic education getting emotional
Authors:   University of Gdansk, Poland, Daszkiewicz Michał
Published: September 2023

Affect comes into play much earlier and much stronger than most language users imagine. Its salience and dominance have now long been recognised by neuroscientists and psychologists, who have stressed that affect not only accompanies but, most importantly and surprisingly, precedes our decisions, determines our choices, drives our perception, and, as such, constitutes a fundamental component of our identities and personalities. In the light of this central position of affect in what we do, it is rather odd or even detrimental that, as recent ERL studies have shown, linguistic education has remained preoccupied with the spheres of actions and cognition far more than with students’ emotions (and beliefs). Even the times of the COVID-19 pandemic (addressed earlier in the sequence of ERL Journal’s volumes) have not brought about any marked change in this respect, although the educational circumstances created by teachers’ and learners’ remote work did offer an opportunity to accentuate emotions (as well as the approach to education and language which all of them hold). In other words – to put it in terms we have applied under the ERL framework, the teaching of languages has still been focused much more on the questions What can students do with language(s)? and How do students understand (the world through) language(s)? than on the question How do students feel about language(s)? (or What do students think of language(s)?). Whilst questions concerning, for instance, using and understanding words, phrases or texts are commonplace, those relating to feelings or views concerning the language elements learnt (be it How do you feel about this sentence? or What’s your attitude to this word?) are in most educational settings few and far between. Not striking a balance between the former (psychomotor and cognitive) and the latter two (affective and axiological) domains stands in stark contrast to contemporary psychological knowledge and can be argued to bring numerous detrimental effects, with a waste of time caused by the non-observance of students’ emotions being only one example of that.

A síntese de nanopartículas de prata, estabilizadas em extrato de Bauhinia forficata pode, em princípio, apresentar propriedades biocompatíveis, permitindo a sua utilização para remediação do diabetes mellitus. Nesse contexto, objetivou-se com esse trabalho desenvolver nanopartículas de prata estabilizadas em extrato de Bauhinia Forficata através da síntese verde. Para o preparo das nanopartículas de prata, 1000 mL de uma solução de nitrato de prata 1,0 mmol.L-1 foi aquecida sob agitação magnética numa chapa aquecedora até entrar em ebulição. Atingida a temperatura de ebulição, foi misturado 2 mL de citrato de sódio 1% na solução de nitrato de prata. A mistura foi mudando de cor até atingir a coloração amarela. Essa coloração indica a redução da prata com formação de nanopartículas. Após síntese, foi adicionado à solução contendo as nanopartículas o extrato aquoso das folhas de Bauhinia Forficata previamente produzido para estabilização. A caracterização das nanopartículas obtidas e estabilizadas foi realizada por espectroscopia no UV-Vis. As leituras foram feitas na faixa de comprimento de onda de 200 a 600 nm. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que as nanopartículas sintetizadas apresentaram pico de absorção com comprimento de onda em torno de 400 nm, o que evidencia a formação da prata em escala manométrica com morfologia esférica e tamanho médio de partícula estimado entre 10 a 14 nm. Diante disso, pode-se verificar que o extrato aquoso das folhas de Bauhinia Forficata se mostrou eficiente no processo de estabilização das NPs Ag através da síntese verde.

Published: September 2023

O Lixão do Roger recebeu os resíduos sólidos da cidade de João Pessoa, capital da Paraíba-Brasil, ao longo de 45 anos. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar, por meio de parâmetros químicos, as alterações no chorume bruto durante o período 2006 a 2018. Foram coletadas amostras de duas células (C1 e C2) e analisados os parâmetros: demanda bioquímica de oxigênio (DBO5); demanda química de oxigênio (DQO); chumbo; alumínio; mercúrio; amônia; nitrito; nitrato; fosfatos e óleos e graxas. Os resultados revelaram que a relação DBO/DQO indicou a presença de material recalcitrante. As baixas concentrações para chumbo, mercúrio e alumínio podem indicar a predominância de resíduos sólidos domiciliares. Amônia e nitrito apresentaram valores elevados, e baixas concentrações de nitrato indicam condições anaeróbias prevalentes no Lixão. Os baixos valores de fosfato expressam também a estabilidade do chorume.

Authors: da Silveira Neto José Paulo , Florêncio da Cunha Teixeira Lucas , Holanda de Castro Marco Aurélio , Fanelli Luchiari Danilo José
Published: September 2023

Em uma rede de fertirrigação, a aspersão é realizada através de cem hidrantes do tipo carretel. Operacionalmente, podem ser acionados simultaneamente no máximo quatro hidrantes em toda a rede. O foco deste trabalho foi averiguar se os pontos de consumo atendem aos requisitos mínimos de pressão e vazão, dadas as milhares de combinações possíveis do conjunto de hidrantes. Foi desenvolvido um algoritmo de busca aleatória que possibilitou a otimização da identificação da pressão mínima possível na rede, em regime permanente, e da posição dos hidrantes que ocasionaram essa situação. Em seguida, a rede foi dividida em dez adutoras para simulação do transitório hidráulico. Foram verificadas pressões negativas em muitos trechos da rede, e foram previstas 14 ventosas tríplice função. Apesar de as ventosas reduzirem os picos de subpressão, elas não foram capazes de resolver definitivamente o problema das pressões negativas, havendo a necessidade de dispositivos de proteção complementares.

Published: September 2023

A eficácia da válvula de alívio de pressão na proteção de adutoras durante o transitório hidráulico está sujeita ao seu comportamento de abertura e de fechamento. O objetivo deste trabalho é determinar o efeito de diferentes funções de abertura e fechamento de válvulas de alívio durante o golpe de aríete causado pela parada abrupta de uma bomba centrífuga em adutoras. Foram analisadas quatro funções, assim como a situação de válvula com abertura e fechamento imediatos. Foram simuladas três adutoras utilizando o Método das Características, incluindo o modelo de Cavidade de Gás Livre Discreto com celeridade variável. A primeira e a terceira função foram as que apresentaram uma atenuação mais eficaz das ondas de sobrepressão, por apresentarem um fechamento mais lento e gradual. As demais funções e a válvula de abertura e fechamento imediatos provocaram sobrepressões secundárias nos trechos mais a jusante da adutora, próximo à entrada do reservatório de jusante.

Słowiki w gorącej, blaszanej klatce: „Not About Nightingales" – zapomniany dramat Tennessee Williamsa
Authors: Majewska Joanna
Published: September 2023

Artykuł ma na celu przypomnienie wczesnej i praktycznie nieznanej w Polsce sztuki Tennessee Williamsa Not About Nightingales (1938). Autorka osadza ją w kontekście biografii pisarza i jego wrażliwości na problemy społecznie wykluczonych. Tematem sztuki jest nacechowany okrucieństwem stosunek większości do mniejszości (społecznych czy też seksualnych), niemieszczących się w stereotypowych ramach. Autorka szuka źródeł Not About Nightingales w biografii Williamsa: w wychowaniu na „Głębokim Południu”, w najbardziej konserwatywnym regionie Stanów Zjednoczonych, oraz w trudnej relacji pisarza z ojcem, traktującym go jak odmieńca. W opartym na faktach dramacie przedmiotem refleksji jest trudna sytuacja więź- niów, którzy wyróżniają się swoją odmiennością, co wzmaga stosowaną wobec nich przemoc. Młodzieńcza sztuka Williamsa pozwala zrewidować poglądy na temat jego twórczości i zwrócić na nią uwagę teatru społecznie zaangażowanego. Williams, znany głównie jako autor kameralnych dramatów psychologicznych, często udomowionych i zawłaszczonych przez popkulturę, był także pisarzem o dużej wrażliwości społecznej, wyczulonym na okrucieństwo w kontaktach międzyludzkich, ujawniające się szczególnie w stosunku do tych, którzy są inni.

Finding Kokoro through the Eyes: Butoh in Roberta Carreri’s Work and Pedagogy
Authors: Dragone Simone
Published: September 2023

In 1984, Roberta Carreri, Odin Teatret actress since 1974, saw Niwa (The Garden), a Butoh dance performance by Muteki-Sha, and attended a three-day workshop with Natsu Nakajima, direct heir of the Butoh pioneer Tatsumi Hijikata. In 1986, she traveled to Japan to work with Natsu Nakajima and Kazuo Ohno. The meeting with the Asian masters changed her approach to training and the creative process. For her, the most remarkable aspect of this apprenticeship was the work with the eyes. The way the eyes are used in Butoh conditioned Carreri’s training and the creative process of her solo performance Judith (1988). Since those same years, the Italian actress has been developing her own pedagogy. Today, she travels globally leading the workshop Dance of Intentions, which includes “flexing the eyes,” an exercise whereby the actress transmits to trainees how it is possible to shape the quality of scenic presence through the eyes. Drawing on a rich bibliography, Roberta Carreri’s work diaries, unpublished documents, and audiovisual materials kept at the Odin Teatret Archives, this paper aims to analyze how the actress embodied the ability to find the kokoro (Japanese for “heart” or “soul”), its application to the creative process and the performance, as well as her pedagogic work, and how this Butoh apprenticeship conditioned her professional identity.

Cervical spondylomyelopathy is a common disease of the cervical spine in dogs of large and giant breeds with an average manifestation period of 7–9 years in the form of dynamic or static compression of the cervical spinal cord and nerve roots, leading to persistent neurological deficit. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical efficacy of the treatment of cervical spondylomyelopathy in dogs using a distraction intervertebral cage and a fixation plate with complementary threads. The study involved 15 animals with Wobbler syndrome. All patients were operated on with the use of vertebral distraction and their stable fixation. The data of clinical observations in the early and late postoperative periods showed the effectiveness of surgical treatment. Evaluation of the results of surgical treatment after 3 months indicates a trend towards positive dynamics, both in terms of pain relief and gait in thirteen patients (86,7 %). However, only eight patients (53,3 %) achieved full recovery. In two dogs (13,3 %), there was no dynamic recovery of confident movement. Nevertheless, in all patients who underwent surgical stabilization, a positive trend was observed.

The purpose of the work is to study the effect of a new energy supplement in the composition of «protected» fat in combination with dihydroquercetin and arabinogalactan and a foreign analogue on the stability of ketogenesis and the productivity of black-and-white cows with different levels of exchange energy in the diet. Under the conditions of the Kolos CJSC of the Tikhoretsky district of the Krasnodar Territory, a scientific and economic experiment was carried out according to the standard method on three groups of black-and-white cows (14 heads in each group). In the experimental groups, we studied the effectiveness of energy supplements: the domestic one developed under the conditions of the FSBSI KRCAHVM, and the foreign analogue «Maximizer» (France) against the background of an energy deficit. Due to the use of energy supplements during the first phase of lactation (120 days), an additional 750 and 1080 liters of milk were obtained or higher by 21,7 and 31,2 % than from the cows of the control group. The additive developed by us turned out to be more effective than the foreign analogue. For the production of 1 kg of milk of basic fat content in the control and second experimental groups, 2,99 MJ and 55,25 g of protein were spent, and in the third experimental group – 2,80 MJ and 45,40 g of protein, respectively. According to the content of ketone bodies in the milk of animals of the control group, it can be concluded that they were in the stage of subclinical ketosis. However, the use of the studied feed agents reduced the level of ketone bodies in the milk of cows of the experimental groups in comparison with the control group by 14,8 and 36,4 (р<0,01) %, respectively. Biochemical studies of the blood of cows showed that the animals of the control group had a lower glucose content due to a lack of energy in the body, which is the reason for the inclusion of glycogenesis, however, in the experimental groups, everything was within the physiological norm.

The Kretschmann configuration was chosen as the model, which is a glass prism with a multilayer nanoscale structure applied to one face. It was established that the material of the prism affects only the resonance angle of the structure. The thickness of nanoscale gold and silver films varied from 1 to 100 nm. The minimum value of the coefficient was obtained when the thickness of the gold and silver nanoscale films was 50 nm and 45 nm, respectively. The thickness of the silicon dioxide film varied from 10 to 150 nm. In the Au – SiO2 structure, the addition of silicon dioxide improved the optical properties of the multilayer structure. The minimum value of the reflection coefficient has decreased, but the thickness of the silicon dioxide is 3 nm. When the thickness of the dielectric layer increases, the optical properties of the structure deteriorate. The structure of the sensitive element, which uses a nanosized silver film, almost does not change its optical properties when adding a layer of SiO2, its thickness can reach 50 nm.

Stosowanie w procesie eksploatacji pojazdów metod oceny stanu technicznego, które są podstawą automatyzacji procesu rozpoznawania ich aktualnego stanu i bezpieczeństwa, jest synonimem nowoczesności. Celem tego opracowania jest przedstawienie fragmentów procedur numerycznych stosowanych do programowanych badań zmian stanu, niezawodności i bezpieczeństwa użytkowanych obiektów technicznych. Przedstawiona metodologia wsparta elementami dokonań z obszaru zastosowań metod statystycznych to podstawy całościowej oceny nadzorowanych obiektów, jakże ważnych dla innowacyjnych strategii eksploatacji obiektów technicznych. Wymaga to jednak optymalizacji zestawu parametrów diagnostycznych, opracowania i optymalizacji testów kontrolnych stanu oraz optymalizacji metod genezy i prognozowania. Rozwiązanie tych zadań zależy od wielu czynników związanych ze stopniem skomplikowania obiektów, jakością procesu eksploatacji oraz przebiegiem procesów ich starzenia i zużycia. Analiza i synteza uzyskanych wyników badań powinna pozwolić na opracowanie dedykowanych procedur i reguł wnioskowania dla badanych obiektów (pojazdów) w zakresie pozyskiwania i przetwarzania danych do macierzy obserwacji, która jest przedstawiona w postaci gotowych algorytmów w tym pracowaniu. To ważne procedury stanowiące podstawę dla coraz częściej budowanych systemów sterująco – diagnostycznych wprowadzanych do obiektów już na etapie konstruowania i wytwarzania w nowoczesnych obiektach technicznych. Systemy takie są podstawą monitorowania zmian stanu, zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa, niezawodności i nadzoru w racjonalnej eksploatacji obiektów technicznych.

For MSMEs, several steps can be taken in order to manage finances well, namely starting to separate personal and business finances, and starting simple bookkeeping. If MSMEs are able to separate personal finance from business finance, and have bookkeeping or administrative management (business finance), MSMEs can try to make financial planning in a simple way. By separating personal and business financial records, owners can more easily manage their business finances. This is because the accuracy of business financial records can influence decision making and evaluate business performance. Mixed cash flow between personal and business finances can make it difficult for MSME actors to determine business operating costs. One strategy for separating personal and business financial records is that the owner can "pay" himself so that all personal needs are recorded from the salary post.Keeping daily financial records is a simple thing, but can bring great benefits in the long term. Companies with complete and accurate financial records will have advantages in terms of evaluation and monitoring. The development of internet technology and applications must be utilized by MSME business people. However, business actors must also be able to determine exactly what applications will be used to support the overall operation of their business. As technology develops, MSME players can take advantage of digital applications to help manage their business more effectively. By utilizing digital applications, MSMEs can find out financial transactions more quickly and accurately. The specific target in this community service activity is to provide knowledge and training to Shoe Craftsmen of the Cibaduyut Sub-District regarding understanding the basic finances for operating the Buku Warung application.

Lake Victoria, the world’s largest freshwater fishery, supports the livelihoods of 4 to 5.6 million economically vulnerable people, with many living on less than $1.25 a day. However, the Lake also witnesses a staggering annual drowning toll of 1,500 to 5,000 fatalities, with two-thirds attributed to storms. Recognising the need for an effective advisory and warning system known as impact-based forecasting (IBF), the HIGHWAY-WISER Project commenced in 2017, focusing on 10 East African beaches, including those in Kenya. Despite its significance, this donor-funded initiative remains relatively unknown and under-researched. This study investigates how fisheries-based factors affect access to IBF in the Lake Victoria region. Data collection involves two key stakeholder groups: policymakers and implementers from the Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) and the fisherfolk community, segmented across six beaches. A combination of proportional stratified and simple random sampling yields a sample size of 422 fisherfolk who complete semi-closed questionnaires. Additionally, 30 policymakers and beach management unit (BMU) members are purposively selected as key informants and interviewed. The study reveals that fisheries-based determinants significantly influence IBF access among fisherfolk. These determinants encompass BMU politics and leadership, social networks, the adoption of flags and noticeboards, exposure to storms, boat size, energy sources for propulsion, fisherfolk experience, and timing of fishing activities. To enhance awareness and accessibility, the study recommends greater involvement of community-based organisations and increased training on IBF for fisheries decision-making contexts. This research underscores the importance of further exploration into fisheries-based factors as pivotal determinants of IBF access. It illuminates how these understudied variables factor into the decision-making processes of fisherfolk regarding whether to embark on fishing expeditions, irrespective of the presence or absence of IBF at their respective beaches. Such insights can inform more effective strategies for improving IBF access within this vital socioeconomic context
