Kierkegaard y el Movimiento de los Indignados
Authors: Svensson Manfred
Published: March 2024

El presente artículo intenta realizar una evaluación kierkegaardiana del fenómeno de la indignación moral como motor de la acción política. Para ello se parte de las descripciones que Kierkegaard hace de las revoluciones de 1848 y se atiende también a su escrito La época presente de 1846. Se concede que el juicio de Kierkegaard es preponderantemente negativo, pero se muestran al mismo tiempo elementos más diferenciados de su análisis y su eventual aplicabilidad a variantes contemporáneas del mismo fenómeno.Recibido: 24/05/2018 • Aceptado: 1/06/2018
La problemática de la educación. Comentario a «Persona y formación. El aporte antropológico de Edith Stein a la educación» de Rubén Sánchez Muñoz
Authors: Santasilia Stefano
Published: March 2024

En este artículo me propongo comentar los conceptos y argumentos centrales del texto “Persona y formación. El aporte antropológico de Edith Stein a la educación” de Rubén Sánchez Muñoz. El comentario se articula en cuatro partes: en las primeras dos, tomo en consideración los rasgos fundamentales de la concepción antropológica de Stein, según la descripción presentada por Sánchez Muñoz, y se desarrolla una crítica de los puntos problemáticos relativos a tal conceptualización; en la siguientes dos considero específicamente la configuración de la dinámica educativa para individuar las relaciones que fundamentalmente entretiene con la teoría antropológica. Concluyo considerando la necesidad de un replanteamiento antropológico capaz de pensar la forma cristiana aceptando el reto  de una renuncia a la forma de explicación aristotélico-tomista.Recibido 24/05/2018 • Aceptado: 1/06/2018

Authors: Volotskaya N. I. , Golubinskaya E. P. , Zyablitskaya E. Yu. , Maksimova Р. E.
Published: March 2024

Aim. To develop new therapeutic approaches for chronic endometritis with vague symptoms, which is frequently diagnosed in patients with endometrial hyperplasia.

Materials and Methods. We collected the material from uterine scrapings in patients (age 25-63 years) with endometrial hyperplasia (diagnosed by ultrasound examination) and abnormal uterine bleeding which occurred during hysteroscopic dilation and curettage. Among the exclusion criteria were intraepithelial neoplasia and atypical endometrial hyperplasia, cancer, systemic inflammation, and hormonal therapy. To verify the diagnosis, we employed immunohistochemistry, digital slide scanning, and morphometry.

Results. This study confirmed the value of immunohistochemical diagnosis underlying the pathogenetic therapy of endometrial hyperplasia using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Inflammatory markers indicating the distribution and quantitative alterations in cell populations had the highest diagnostic value.

Conclusion. We developed a molecularly oriented algorithm for the treatment of patients with endometrial hyperplasia. This algorithm improves existing preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches using immunohistochemical techniques. Such molecular testing can help in making correct therapeutic decisions.

Aim. To analyse clinicopathological features of smoking patients with multivessel coronary artery disease.

Material and Methods. We analysed the data from the FRAILTY registry which includes patients with coronary artery disease. In addition to clinical features, we assessed echocardiography data and lipid metabolism levels (total cholesterol, triglycerides, low- and high-density lipoproteins, and high-sensitive C-reactive protein).

Results. Of the 381 CAD patients, 178 (46.7%) have smoked at some point (107 (60.1%) current smokers and 71 (39.1%) smoking quitters), whereas 203 (53.3%) patients have never smoked. These groups were comparable in age and cardiovascular disease prevalence. Smokers or smoking quitters’ group had higher proportion of males (78.1 vs. 69%; p = 0.045), higher prevalence of myocardial infarction (61.8 vs. 55.2%; p = 0.047), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (6.4 vs. 2.3%; p = 0.045), and lower extremity peripheral artery disease (47.8 vs. 31.5%; p = 0.041). There were no differences between the groups regarding the risk of death after cardiac surgery. The level of total cholesterol was 1.8-fold higher in smokers and smoking quitters as compared with patients who never smoked (5.5 (3.7; 6.7) vs. 3.0 (2.2; 4.0) mmol/L; p = 0.01). Similar pattern was discovered regarding to the level of C-reactive protein (5.1 (2.4; 5.3) vs. 3.9 (2.2; 4.2) mg/L in smokers/smoking quitters and never smokers, respectively; p = 0.041). The analysis of echocardiography parameters did not reveal statistically significant differences.

Conclusion. Smoking frequently accompanies coronary artery disease. Current smokers and smoking quitters were characterized by higher frequency of myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lower extremity peripheral artery disease Further, current smokers and smoking quitters had higher serum total cholesterol and C-reactive protein.

Published: March 2024

Aim. To test a simplified version of assessing the results of total hip replacement based on patient survey data.

Materials and Methods. We conducted a cohort retrospective study with historical control. The study included 80 patients interviewed ≥ 1 year after the total hip replacement. Patients were included into the study regardless of gender, age and concomitant pathology. Statistical analysis was performed using EpiInfo software (version 7.2.2.2), Python programming language, and SciPy package version 1.11.4.

Results. We developed a compact questionnaire of 33 questions to compare the answers of patients before and after the surgery. After prosthetics, the self-esteem of the patient conditions improved significantly. The results were stratified into 6 blocks of questions by the odds ratio magnitude: emotional state – 49.3 (11.3-215.4); health status – 42.8 (12.4-147.7); ability to move outside the home –14.4 (1.8-113.4); self-care ability at home – 11.7 (5.3-25.7); overall quality of life assessment – 9.3 (3.1-28.4). Such differences before and after surgery were statistically significant for all blocks of questions (p ≤ 0,008). In general, 81.2% (81.2÷81.3) of patients were completely satisfied with the results of the surgery, and 8.8% (8.6÷8.9) were partially satisfied.

Conclusion. We tested a study design which allows to evaluate the rate of improvement in selfesteem of patients after the total hip replacement.

Miten opettaa kulttuurien tutkimusta, jossa keskeisellä sijalla ovat yllättävät kohtaamiset, ennakoimattomat ja luovat prosessit sekä asiantuntijan oma persoona? Pedagogiikan merkitys yliopisto-opetuksessa on viime vuosina korostunut ja tehnyt yksittäisistä kursseista sekä tutkintorakenteista entistä linjakkaampia. Kullakin tieteenalalla on kuitenkin omat pedagogiset kysymyksensä, jotka vaativat tieteenalan asiantuntijuuden ja tiedon muodostuksen syvällistä ymmärrystä.
Kulttuurien tutkimuksen pedagogiikka -teoksessa kulttuurien tutkijat pohtivat oman opettajuutensa lähtökohtia ja tapoja tukea kulttuurien tutkimuksellista asiantuntijuutta. Samalla teoksen artikkelit heijastavat tutkimuksen ja opetuksen vuorovaikutusta ja sitä, miten konkreettisesti ymmärryksemme tiedon muodostuksesta vaikuttaa myös tapoihimme opettaa. Teos tarjoaa käytännönläheisiä näkökulmia siihen, miten kehittää opettajuutta. Se rohkaisee näkemään kulttuurien tutkimuksen uudella tavalla pedagogisista lähtökohdista.

Biography of Sergey Spasokukotsky, the outstanding Russian surgeon, is closely related to the Yaroslavl Territory. He spent his childhood in the Danilovsky region, coming from a large and friendly family of a zemstvo doctor. In 1880–1888, he studied at the Men’s Gymnasium after his family had moved to Yaroslavl. The building now belongs to the Yaroslavl State Medical University where a representative of his scientific school, Professor Busalov AA, worked decades later. Life and activity of Sergey Spasokukotsky represent a bright example of unselfish service to medicine. Being a graduate of the Emperor’s Moscow University, he had a chance to continue his medical career in Moscow but went to the province where he worked as a zemstvo doctor for many years, actively implementing advance achievements of medicine into abdominal surgery, neurosurgery, pulmonary surgery, creating novel and modifying available surgeries. S. Spasokukotsky and his student developed an affordable and effective method of preparing a surgeon’s hands for a surgery with 0.5% ammonia solution (method by Spasokukotsky and Kochergyn). The scientific and practical activities of Sergey Spasokukotsky resulted in the development of a large scientific school with an ultimate scientific social responsibility, originality, great depth and boldness while solving the issues of surgical pathology.

ISSUES IN FINANCIAL GOVERNANCE PRACTICES IN MALAYSIA'S MOSQUES
Authors: Mohamed Intan Salwani , Mustafa Nabilah , Syed Yusuf Sharifah Norzehan , Rozzani Nabilah
Published: March 2024

Background and Purpose: Mosques, like every other religious organisation, have financial, human, and physical resources. As a prominent symbol of Islam, it also serves the community as a service provider, not only to their congregations but also to the public. The purpose of this article is to examine and analyse the challenges surrounding mosque financial governance. In Malaysia, the mosque's function and potential have not been fully realised and utilised to continuously impact on society. Even though Malaysia has been a Muslim country since the 15th century, mosques still have concerns. Fund management, regulatory compliance, and facility management are noted issues. Because State Religious Councils are the sole trustees of mosques, it is proposed that mosque governance practices in Malaysia vary and differ according to the laws provided by each state. It was discovered that previous research has mostly focused on fund management because of its potential to raise funds through financial contributions.
 
Methodology: This paper looks at concerns surrounding mosques' existing financial governance practices in Malaysia. The paper aims to raise awareness among mosque committees and the public about the necessity of good financial governance practises in religious institutions, particularly mosques.
 
Contributions: As this is a conceptual paper, findings are expected to lead to a comprehensive study on issues and their relationships that will enable us to identify necessary measures to enhance the Malaysian mosque institution.
 
Keywords: Mosque, financial governance, fund management, regulatory compliance, facilities management.

ASSESSMENT OF VALUE-BASED PRINCIPLES ON ISLAMIC BANKING PRACTICES IN MALAYSIA: AN EXPLORATIVE STUDY USING BANK’S DISCLOSURE
Authors: Talib Siti Aqilah , Mohd Iskandar Takiah , Muda Ruhaini
Published: March 2024

Background and Purpose: This study aimed to understand banking practices to legitimise their role in society and meet stakeholder needs in terms of their products and services. This study narrowed its scope to use the underpinning thrust of value-based intermediation (VBI) as it is a primary pillar of the VBI framework. Towards these same ends, the study also sought to gauge how banks integrated their products and services with the framework.
 
Methodology: This study employed the triangulation approach, which comprised of a content analysis of annual reports of the bank and trend analysis of court cases. This study used Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad (BIMB) as an explorative study.
 
Findings: The findings indicated a decrease of total occurrences over the years on litigation cases involving BIMB, related to know-your-customers compliance. Meanwhile, the analysis of annual reports of the bank indicated that shariah non-compliance incidents are due to operational failures and lack of shariah knowledge among the staff. This study highlighted the need for the banks to strengthen the know-your-customer compliance, besides enhancing and promoting Islamic financial literacy and ethics to their stakeholders.
 
Contributions: This study contributes a novelty in this area of study by using data triangulation on court cases and annual reports to provide a more comprehensive perspective on the issue. This study also added to the current literature on VBI, especially within Malaysian context.
 
Keywords: Corporate responsibility, due diligence, know-your-customer, Islamic ethics, financial literacy.

Published: March 2024

Background and Purpose: Microfinance is the most effective and widely acknowledged method of poverty alleviation across the globe but these days every so and often the MFIs are digressing from their primary mission in pretext of financial and operational sustainability of the organizations. The purpose of this research is to confirm the adherence of double bottom line sustainability of Microfinance institutions (MFIs) and further to identify the determinants of MFIs sustainability in the Philippines.
 
Methodology: The sample for the study was obtained from MIX- market for the period 1999-2018. Principal component analysis and KU model are used to measure the sustainability scores of MFIs. Later, a panel regression model is applied to identify the determinants of sustainability.
 
Findings: MFIs are not adhering to the double bottom line sustainability as majority of MFIs were unsustainable at different benchmarks set for the study. The sustainability can be achieved if MFIs start utilizing their assets, focus on improving their efficiency and portfolio quality. MFIs size also significantly influences the sustainability of MFIs.
 
Contributions: This study highlights the need for policy makers and regulators to develop a regulatory framework to reduce the operating cost and improve the portfolio quality of MFIs in the Philippines. They should also provide guidelines that would help MFIs in improving their asset utilization ratio as it would help them adhere to double bottom line sustainability.
 
Keywords: Sustainability, microfinance, double bottom line, outreach, financial sustainability.

El autor en la industria editorial. El Manual de Confessores de Martín de Azpilcueta y la producción de conocimiento normativo en el mundo atlántico en la edad de la imprenta
Authors: Bragagnolo Manuela
Published: March 2024

En el contexto de un enfoque metodológico que considera la materialidad de la producción, circulación y uso de los libros como un elemento importante en el estudio de los procesos de producción de conocimiento, el artículo analiza el caso del Manual de confessores del canonista español Martín de Azpilcueta, más conocido como Doctor Navarro, como un caso paradigmático para entender el papel del "autor" en la industria editorial de principios de la Edad moderna. Muestra, en particular, cómo el constante proceso de actualización y transformaciones autorales a través de nuevas ediciones fue de la mano con el uso consciente por parte de Azpilcueta del instrumento normativo de los privilegios de impresión. En particular, a través del análisis de paratextos legales y evidencias materiales que se encuentran en algunos ejemplares del Manual que examiné, el artículo pone de relieve cómo los privilegios permitieron a Azpilcueta controlar no sólo la producción, sino también la circulación y, en algunos aspectos, la venta del propio libro. También a través del papel activo del "autor" en la industria editorial, el Manual se convirtió en el texto de referencia para los confesores a ﬁnales del siglo XVI y en la base de algunos compendios de gran éxito, realizados por teólogos miembros de la Compañía de Jesús, escritos desde Roma o directamente desde los territorios de misión. Esto es el caso de los Compendia de Pietro Alagona y Esteban de Ávila. El primero tuvo una circulación global y se imprimió en Japón. El segundo, escrito en Lima, se imprimió en Europa, y tuvo una difusión muy amplia también y sobre todo en los territorios americanos.
Evaluation of popular path planning algorithms
Authors: Kara Mehmet
Published: March 2024

The navigation of mobile robots is a key element of autonomous systems, which allows robots to move effectively and securely in changing environments with greater autonomy and precision. This study aims to provide researchers with a comprehensive guide for selecting the best path-planning methods for their particular projects. We evaluate some popular algorithms that are regularly used in mobile robot navigation, in order to demonstrate their specifications and determine where they are most effective. For example, one algorithm is used to model the problem as a standard graph, and another algorithm is found to be the most suitable for highly dynamic and highly dimensional environments, due to its robust path-planning capabilities and efficient route construction. We also filter high-performance algorithms in terms of computational complexity, accuracy, and robustness. In conclusion, this study provides valuable information on its individual strengths and weaknesses, helping robotics and engineers make informed decisions when selecting the most appropriate algorithm for their specific applications.

We consider the real-life problem of planning tasks for teams in a corporation, in conditions of some restrictions. The problem takes into account various constraints, such as for instance flexible working hours, common meeting periods, time set aside for self-learning, lunchtimes and periodic performance of tasks. Additionally, only a part of the team may participate in meetings, and each team member may have their own periodic tasks such as self-development. We propose an algorithm that is an extension of the algorithm dedicated for scheduling on parallel unrelated processors with the makespan criterion. Our approach assumes that each task can be defined by a subset of employees or an entire team. However, each worker is of a different efficiency, so task completion times may differ. Moreover, the tasks are prioritized. The problem is NP-hard. Numerical experiments cover benchmarks with 10 instances of 100 tasks assigned to a 5-person team. For all instances, various algorithms such as branch-and-bound, genetic and tabu search have been tested.
Sofcomputing approach to melody generation based on harmonic analysis
Authors: Mazurkiewicz Jarosław
Published: March 2024

This work aims to create an ANN-based system for a musical improviser. An artificial improviser of "hearing" music will create a melody. The data supplied to the improviser is MIDItype musical data. This is the harmonic-rhythmic course, the background for improvisation, and the previously made melody notes. The harmonic run is fed into the system as the currently ongoing chord and the time to the next chord, while the supplied few dozen notes performed earlier will indirectly carry information about the entire run and the musical context and style. Improvisation training is carried out to check ANN as a correctlooking musical improvisation device. The improviser generates several hundred notes to be substituted for a looped rhythmicharmonic waveform and examined for quality.

Electrocardiography is an examination performed frequently in patients experiencing symptoms of heart disease. Upon a detailed analysis, it has shown potential to detect and identify various activities. In this article, we present a deep learning approach that can be used to analyze ECG signals. Our research shows promising results in recognizing activity and disease patterns with nearly 90% accuracy. In this paper, we present the early results of our analysis, indicating the potential of using deep learning algorithms in the analysis of both onedimensional and two–dimensional data. The methodology we present can be utilized for ECG data classification and can be extended to wearable devices. Conclusions of our study pave the way for exploring live data analysis through wearable devices in order to not only predict specific cardiac conditions, but also a possibility of using them in alternative and augmented communication frameworks.

At the beginning of the year 2024, 65 years will have passed since the establishment of the Chamber of Experts of the Association of Polish Electrical Engineers (SEP). During this period, SEP underwent significant changes. Particularly serious changes in the conditions for practicing association expertises have occurred in recent years, along with dynamic economic and political changes in Poland. Expertise is strongly based on economic conditions and the ways in which scientific, technical and industrial competences are expanded and available in the society. In the past, these highest competencies were quite strictly limited to well-organized professional communities related to scientific and technical associations such as SEP, and federal bodies such as NOT. Competencies were also generated in the best industrial centres associated with academic polytechnic centres. Today the role of expertises in electrical, electronics and ICT engineering is undergoing significant changes.
Low-cost ANS encoder for lossless data compression in FPGAs
Authors: Pastuła Magdalena , Russek Paweł , Wiatr Kazimierz
Published: March 2024

We present the implementation of the hardware ANS compressor in FPGAs. The main goal of the design was to propose a solution suitable to low-cost, low-energy embedded systems. We propose the streaming-rANS algorithm of the ANS family as a target for the implementation. Also, we propose a set of algorithm parameters that substantially reduce the use of FPGA resources, and we examine what is the influence of the chosen parameters on compression performance. Further, we compare our design to the lossless codecs found in literature, and to the streaming-rANS codecs with arbitrary parameters.

Published: March 2024

The aim of the paper is to show how graduated engineering students in classical ICT view practically the advent of the QIT. The students do their theses in El.Eng. and ICT and were asked how to implement now or in the future the QIT in their current or future work. Most of them have strictly defined research topics and in some cases the realization stage is advanced. Thus, most of the potential QIT application areas are defined and quite narrow. In such a case, the issue to be considered is the incorporation of QIT components and interfaces into the existing ICT infrastructure, software and hardware alike, and propose a solution as a reasonable functional hybrid system. The QIT components or circuits are not standalone in most cases, they should be somehow incorporated into existing environment, with a measurable added value. Not an easy task indeed. We have to excuse the students if the proposed solutions are not ripe enough. The exercise was proposed as an on-purpose publication workshop, related strictly to the fast and fascinating development of the QIT. The paper is a continuation of publishing exercises with previous groups of students participating in QIT lectures.
The analytical framework for optimizing TCP retransmission algorithm based on adjustment of its EWMA parameters
Authors: Grabowski Michał , Janowski Robert
Published: March 2024

In this paper we derive mathematical description of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) retransmission probability based on Jacobson’s smoothing algorithm that belongs to EWMA (Exponentially Weighted Moving Average) category. This description is parametrized on the probability density function (pdf) of RTT (Round Trip Time) samples and α, β – two primary parameters of Jacobson’s algorithm. Although it is not a close form expression, it is formulated as an effective algorithm that let us to explicitly calculate the values of RTO (Retransmission Time Out) probability as a function of α, β and the pdf of RTT samples. We achieve the effectiveness of this approach by applying smart discretization of the state space and replacement of continuous functions with discrete approximate equivalents. In this way, we mitigate the cardinality of discrete distributions we deal with that results in linear (n+m) instead of multiplicative (n⋅m) growth of computational complexity. We provide the evaluation of RTO probability for a wide set of α, β parameter values and differently shaped Normal and Laplace pdfs the RTT samples are taken from. The obtained numerical results let us to draw some conclusions regarding the choice of optimal values of α, β parameters as well as the impact of pdf the RTT samples are taken from.

A Novel Proportional Multi-Resonant Current Controller Strategy for Reduced DC Voltage fed D-STATCOM with Internal LCL Resonance Damping
Authors: Satpathy Guddy , De Dipankar
Published: March 2024

This work focuses on a new topology-control-based D-STATCOM solution with reduced DC bus voltage requirement and with an excellent grid side performance. The proposed solution consists of a main inverter and auxiliary inverter along with a transformer and LCL filter network to achieve the required DC bus reduction. A new controller structure with two proportional-multi resonant controller for the converters with only one of the inductors current as a controlled variable ensures the active damping of the LCL resonance. The power circuit configuration assists the controller to generate a difference in the modulation signal due to non-equal gains in two controllers and helps to achieve the resonance damping without capacitor current sensor. Hence, the corresponding capacitor current sensor can be eliminated. The converter operates for any point of common coupling (PCC) loading conditions and the performance of the controller is immune to the grid impedance variation. A detailed stability study is carried out for the proposed controller. The proposed controller can achieve a very fast dynamic response with an excellent stability margin. The proposed solution is verified through simulation studies and through a scaled-down experimental prototype.
