Segmentation of the area covered by acorn trees in the Spanish dehesa of Extremadura
Authors:   ,   Universidad Mundo Maya, HUERTA-MORENO Patricia
Published: October 2021

Acorns are the fruit of oak trees and are an important crop in the Spanish dehesa of Extremadura because of the value they add to the Iberian pig's diet in order to obtain the "acorn" certification. Because of this, it is desired to maximize the production of Iberian pigs with the appropriate weight. On the other hand, to know the area covered by the acorn tree crowns to determine the Trees Covered Area (TCA), a value necessary to estimate the number of Iberian pigs that can be released per hectare, as regulated by Royal Decree 4/2014, issued by Spain in January 2014. This paper proposes a method to automatically estimate the AAR through digital aerial images (orthophotos) of the dehesa of Extremadura and, with this, facilitate the determination of the number of Iberian pigs that can be released on a specific parcel of land. The requirements for automatic detection include the correct identification of acorn trees, correctly discriminating their shadows and of young acorn trees that are still unproductive or shrubs that are not oaks. These requirements represent challenges that apply to both automated and manual segmentations. The automated segmentation in this study is based on the k-means version of the clustering algorithm. The results of this work are promising when compared to real images and when compared to the results of manual segmentation.

Indonesia is rich in medicinal plants, including those that have the ability to inhibit bacterial growth, lemongrass (Cymbopogon nardus) and Fingerroots (Boesenbergia pandurata). Streptococcus mutans is a bacterium that causes dental caries. This Experiment want to determine the content of chemical compounds and the antibacterial activity of Lemongrass extract (Cymbopogon nardus) and Fingerroots (Boesenbergia pandurata) against Streptococcus mutans. The study was conducted experimentally with samples of lemongrass and Fingerroots. Extraction using maceration method using 70% Ethanol solvent. Phytochemical screening test with color test and determination of total flavonoid levels using a spectrophotometer. Antibacterial activity test uses the disk diffusion method against Streptococcus mutans. Phytochemical screening results of lemongrass extract and fingerroots with color test qualitative test showed positive containing flavonoids, saponins and tannins. In the test determination of total flavonoid levels, showed an average total flavonoid levels in lemongrass extracts of 48.61 mgQE / g and in Fingerroots extracts of 24.71 mgQE / g. The results of the antibacterial test against Streptococcus mutans obtained the largest average diameter of inhibitory zone in the extract of Fingerroots 5% w / v (11.167 mm), then the concentration of 5% w / v combination of lemongrass: Fingerroots 1: 2 (10.83 mm ), 2: 1 combination (10,067 mm). lemongrass (9.33 mm), 1: 1 combination (9,133 mm), Based on the Post Hoc test results that were comparable to positive controls were 5% fingerrots, combination of lemongrass: 1: 2 Fingerroots, and 2: 1 combination. The average total flavonoid level in lemongrass extract is more than the average total flavonoid content in Fingerroots. But in the same concentration 5% Fingerroots extract provides the greatest antibacterial inhibitory activities.

Published: October 2021

Se analizan los “toques de queda”, los confinamientos territoriales o perimetrales, las prohibiciones de pequeñas reuniones, así como las restricciones de actividades y horarios de los establecimientos y sus dudosas garantías. Todas estas restricciones Covid-19 bajo los estados de alarma o el muy cuestionable artículo 3 Ley Orgánica 3/1986 no han sido especial objeto de atención, ha habido  fuertes divergencias entre tribunales y están pendientes recursos y cuestiones de constitucionalidad. Se afirman lineamientos y criterios para una deseable futura regulación. Finalmente se concluye que especialmente el gobierno y el legislador estatal no han superado el "test de estrés" al sistema jurídico, a la espera de mejoras normativas.

Glazbene preferencije učenika prema klasičnoj glazbi, glazbi 20.stoljeća i glazbama svijeta - hipoteza otvorenosti
Authors: Dobrota Snježana , Sarajčev Marija
Published: October 2021

U radu su istražene preferencije učenika prema klasičnoj glazbi, glazbi 20. stoljeća i glazbama svijeta te utjecaj dobi, spola i poznatosti na preferencije glazbe 20. stoljeća i glazbi svijeta. U okviru istraživanja primijenjen je upitnik općih podataka i skala procjene za ispitivanje preferencija glazbenih ulomaka na uzorku od 183 sudionika i to učenika četvrtih i osmih razreda osnovne škole te učenika završnog razreda gimnazije. Učenici generalno pokazuju najveće preferencije glazbi svijeta. Potvrđen je utjecaj dobi na preferencije glazbe 20. stoljeća i glazbe svijeta. Učenice, u odnosu na učenike, pokazuju veće preferencije glazbe 20. stoljeća, a u slučaju glazba svijeta nisu uočene statistički značajne razlike s obzirom na spol. Potvrđeno je da učenici pokazuju veće preferencije poznate glazbe u odnosu na glazbu koja im nije poznata. Činjenica da su mlađi učenici otvoreniji prema različitim glazbenim stilovima može imati značajne implikacije za koncipiranje glazbenih aktivnosti predškolske i rane školske dobi.
Istraživački pristup kao suvremena nastava ili tek odmak od tradicionalne nastave? Mišljenja učitelja o istraživačkom pristupu u nastavi prirode i društva
Authors: Anđić Dunja , Vidas Karmen
Published: October 2021

Istraživački pristup u nastavi Prirode i društva smatra se novim pristupom u učenju i poučavanju u osnovnoj školi. Međutim, pitamo se je li to doista tako. Zato je provedeno istraživanje s ciljem ispitivanja odgojno-obrazovne prakse učitelja razredne nastave u realizaciji istraživačkog pristupa u nastavi Prirode i društva. Istraživanje je provedeno kvalitativnom metodologijom na uzorku 24 učitelja razredne nastave u osnovnim školama. Za potrebe istraživanja konstruiran je polustrukturiran intervju. Rezultati istraživanja uputili su na upoznatost učitelja s istraživačkim pristupom i njihovu motiviranost za njegovo provođenje u nastavi Prirode i društva. Dobiveni su rezultati također uputili na to da učitelji u velikoj mjeri smatraju da posjeduju određene kompetencije za njegovu implementaciju, a prilikom realizacije primjenjuju nastavne metode i nastavne oblike rada koji omogućuju veću aktivnost učenika. Zaključuje se da je potrebno dodatno educirati učitelje jer, iako je riječ o suvremenom pristupu, njegova realizacija još uvijek nije na očekivano zadovoljavajućoj razini i stoga on predstavlja tek prvi korak ka suvremenijoj nastavi u školama
CREATIVE ETHNICITY: MUSIC AS AN ELEMENT OF ETHNICITY AMONG POLISH TATARS
Authors: Abłażewicz-Górnicka Urszula , Radłowska Karolina
Published: October 2021

The aim of this article is to analyse the role of ethnic music in the life of the Tatar minority in Poland as an example of creative ethnicity. On the one hand, modern Tatar musical practices construct an interesting example of “invented tradition” because the studied group does not have “musical memory”, while on the other hand, these activities are aimed at the group’s future. Music can fulfill different social functions. In the case of ethnic groups, three of these functions seem to be particularly relevant: integrational, political (ideological) and identity. Desk research reveals the formal and informal musical practices undertaken by Polish Tatars. The values and musical assets associated with Tatar culture reflect the minority’s identity. The main statement of the article is that music is an important element that contributes to constructing the contemporary group’s identity. Tatar music is becoming an essential element of Tatar culture, enhancing a sense of the group’s distinctiveness. The contemporary Tatar music groups construct a significant Tatar showcase to the audience outside of the Tatar ethnic group, as well as form an important identity element of the Tatar community and a manifestation of creative ethnicity. It is also possible to find correlations between their repertoire and contemporary group transformations, including those related to its identity.
Opioid of the People: The Moral Economy of Tramadol in Lagos
Authors: Klantschnig Gernot , Dele-Adedeji Ini
Published: October 2021

Cet article propose un examen approfondi du marché illicite du tramadol à Lagos. S’appuyant sur des entretiens avec des commerçants de ce médicament et des acteurs de son contrôle, il questionne les récits moraux que les agents de l’État et du marché adoptent pour légitimer leur travail. À travers le prisme de l’économie morale, nous montrons en quoi ces récits sont liés à des luttes de pouvoir plus larges au sein du marché pharmaceutique et entre les instances de régulation. L’article soutient que la nature morale ambiguë du tramadol est essentielle pour comprendre un médicament officiellement stigmatisé et, pourtant, largement utilisé et commercialisé.
Cindy Sherman ou La Roberte (elle est trop pour être seule)
Authors: Watteau Diane
Published: October 2021

Quand l’intermédiaire masque ou voile la présence réelle de Cindy Sherman, son corps devient un nom, une enveloppe, qui dissimulent et simulent l’artiste. Incarnation « sous les espèces du corps histrionique », nous envisagerons certaines œuvres et séries de Sherman à partir de la Denise-Roberte de Pierre Klossowski, signe unique qui fait du sujet un otage et un fugitif. Constamment dissolue dans une production incessante de doubles, entre « Je n’y suis pas » et « Mais Roberte, c’est toi ! », Sherman troque son image comme un Simulacre et une « Monnaie vivante ».
La réponse suédoise à la crise : une stratégie claire pourtant incomprise
Authors: Bergeron Henri , Borraz Olivier
Published: October 2021

Dans ce court texte 1 , nous entendons montrer que la stratégie suédoise se distingue des actions menées dans d’autres pays par sa consistance : consistance historique avec les mesures décidées en amont pour se préparer à ce type de crise, là où beaucoup d’autres pays ont choisi d’improviser devant une situation jugée inédite [1] ; consistance stratégique ensuite durant toute la période dans les mesures prises, en refusant de dévier de la ligne fixée malgré les pressions internes mais également externes nombreuses à s’exercer sur les autorités suédoises et notamment l’agence en charge de pilotée la crise, l’Agence de santé publique (FMH pour Folkhälsomyndigheten) ; là où d’autres pays ont donné au contraire l’impression d’alterner les décisions au fur et à mesure de l’évolution du virus. Il ne s’agit pas pour nous de nous prononcer sur le bien-fondé des mesures prises ou de leur efficacité, mais de souligner la singularité de la stratégie suédoise du point de vue de l’action collective et des politiques publiques.
Résilience des systèmes de santé européens à la crise de la Covid-19
Authors: Dedet Guillaume , Kraepiel Lucie , Rapp Thomas
Published: October 2021

L’idée de résilience est de plus en plus souvent mentionnée dans les discussions autour du renforcement des systèmes de santé. Pour autant, ce concept n’est à ce jour pas encore réellement stabilisé, et le mesurer en pratique reste difficile. Cet article, après avoir présenté les origines de ce terme et les différentes définitions existantes, se propose de tenter de décrire et discuter ce qu’a pu être la résilience des systèmes de santé européens face à la pandémie de Covid-19. Trois aspects seront tour à tour commentés : la capacité des systèmes à anticiper et prévoir des événements disruptifs, la façon dont ils ont absorbé et répondu au choc une fois confronté à celui-ci, et enfin leur capacité à maintenir l’accès aux soins courants durant la crise.
Penser la frontière territoriale et la lutte contre le terrorisme : approche anthropo-sociologique de la migration et de la mobilité
Authors: Aït Abdelmalek Ali
Published: October 2021

Dans notre réflexion, il s’agit particulièrement de penser sociologiquement, et donc anthropologiquement, la notion de frontière, en particulier territoriale, qui nécessite une interrogation permanente à propos de ce qui, à la fois, « me » et « nous » (re)définit, et aussi, participe à la définition de l’« autre » qui se trouve, précisément, de l’autre côté de la frontière. Notre réalité anthropo-sociologique est diverse et plurielle, et nous sommes entourés de très nombreuses frontières : pourquoi vouloir ainsi réduire l’identité à une réalité unidimensionnelle, alors qu’elle est multiple et complexe : la frontière n’exprime pas, en effet, uniquement une limite, mais aussi, le plus souvent, un espace ouvert, c’est-à-dire des lieux d’échange et d’enrichissement, où peuvent se former des identités plurielles.
Des savoirs raisonnés (scolaires, procéduraux et scientifiques) à leur pragmatisation dans l’activité d’apprenants : l’exemple du diagnostic de station forestière
Authors: Chrétien Fanny
Published: October 2021

Le diagnostic de station forestière est une des activités professionnelles du gestionnaire et du conseiller forestier. Elle consiste, à partir de l’étude des caractéristiques topographiques, pédologiques, botaniques et climatiques, d’inférer des choix sylvicoles, en particulier sur les essences à privilégier. A ce titre, son usage doit faire l’objet d’enseignements au sein de la formation forestière. Cet article présente les résultats d’une recherche empirique, inscrite dans le projet Silva Numerica, portant sur l’apprentissage professionnel de cette activité. Il suppose, pour l’apprenant, de s’approprier à la fois un grand nombre de savoirs scientifiques et techniques, mais également de comprendre et de mettre en application un regard professionnel sur les peuplements, à la fois pragmatique et conscient des enjeux de durabilité, relativement aux caractéristiques des stations sur lesquels ces peuplements se développent. A partir d’une analyse croisée des raisonnements professionnels et des raisonnements des apprenants en formation, cette étude donne à voir une diversité d’obstacles à la « pragmatisation », c’est-à-dire à la transposition (pragmatique) des savoirs enseignés en outils conceptuels constitutifs de la pensée des professionnels compétents .

In this paper, we discuss problems that integer part of nonlinear forms with prime variables represent primes infinitely. We prove that under suitable conditions there exist infinitely many primes $ p_j, p $ such that $ [\lambda_1p_1^2+\lambda_2p_2^2+\lambda_3p_3^k] = p $ and $ [\lambda_1p_1^3+\cdots+\lambda_4p_4^3+\lambda_5p_5^k] = p $ with $ k\geq 2 $ and $ k\geq 3 $ respectively, which improve the author's earlier results.

Authors: Dehghankar Leila , Panahi Rahman , Hasannia Elham , Hemmati Fatemeh , Samiei Siboni Fatemeh
Published: October 2021

Objectives: Given the increase in osteoporosis among health volunteers and the effect of health literacy on the adoption of nutritional preventive behaviors, this study aimed to determine the effects of an educational intervention on health literacy and the adoption of nutritional preventive behaviors related to osteoporosis among health volunteers.Methods: This was a quasi-experimental, interventional study of health volunteers conducted in 2020. In this study, 140 subjects (70 in both intervention and control groups) were selected using the random multi-stage sampling method. An educational intervention was conducted using the Telegram application, and educational messages were sent to the health volunteers in the intervention group across 6 sessions. Data were collected via a demographic questionnaire, the Health Literacy for Iranian Adults survey, and a nutritional performance questionnaire, which were completed before and 3 months after the intervention. The data were collected and analyzed using SPSS version 23.Results: Before the intervention, there were no significant differences in the mean scores for health literacy variables and the adoption of nutritional preventive behaviors between the intervention and control groups (p>0.05). After the intervention, there was a significant change in the mean scores for health literacy and the adoption of preventive behaviors in the intervention group (p<0.05) as opposed to the control group.Conclusions: Interventions aimed at increasing health literacy are effective for promoting the adoption of preventive and healthy nutritional behaviors related to osteoporosis.

Authors: Lee Hun Ju , Chang Jae Seung , Ahn Jhii Hyun , Kim Moon Young , Park Kyu-Sang , Ahn Yeon-Soon , Koh Sang Baek
Published: October 2021

Objectives: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an increasingly prevalent metabolic disease. Muscle is known to influence NAFLD development. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationships among low muscle mass, NAFLD, and hepatic fibrosis using various definitions of low muscle mass and NAFLD diagnostic methods, including magnetic resonance imaging-based proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF).Methods: This cross-sectional study included 320 participants (107 males, 213 females) from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study on Atherosclerosis Risk of Rural Areas in the Korean General Population cohort. Muscle mass was assessed using whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and adjusted for the height squared, body weight, and body mass index (BMI). NAFLD was diagnosed using ultrasonography (US), MRI-PDFF, and the comprehensive NAFLD score (CNS). Hepatic fibrosis was assessed using magnetic resonance elastography. Multivariable logistic and linear regression analyses were performed to determine the aforementioned associations.Results: According to US, 183 participants (57.2%) had NAFLD. Muscle mass adjusted for body weight was associated with NAFLD diagnosed using US (odds ratio [OR], 3.00; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.70 to 5.31), MRI-PDFF (OR, 2.00; 95% CI, 1.13 to 3.53), and CNS (OR, 3.39; 95% CI, 1.73 to 6.65) and hepatic fibrosis (males: β=-0.070, p<0.01; females: β=-0.037, p<0.04). Muscle mass adjusted for BMI was associated with NAFLD diagnosed by US (OR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.02 to 2.86) and CNS (OR, 1.95; 95% CI, 1.04 to 3.65), whereas muscle mass adjusted for height was not associated with NAFLD.Conclusions: Low muscle mass was associated with NAFLD and liver fibrosis; therefore, maintaining sufficient muscle mass is important to prevent NAFLD. A prospective study and additional consideration of muscle quality are needed to strengthen the findings regarding this association.
Higher-Order Defeat and Withholding Judgment
Authors: Conee Earl
Published: October 2021

Defeat by higher-order evidence needs defending. Maria Lasonen-Aarnio argues powerfully for the conclusion that higher-order evidence does not have an unlimited capacity to defeat justification. While developing her main argument Lasonen-Aarnio poses two other problems for unlimited higher-order defeat. Some theories of higher-order defeat are not subject to the main argument. The other problems threaten those theories too. The problems will be developed with the aim of finding and evaluating optimal versions. The first offers a reductio argument. The argument will be criticized as employing an unjustifiable assumption. The second problem poses a dilemma. The dilemma will be avoided by supplementing plausible higher-order defeat theories with a view of what justifies withholding judgment.
Showing Seeing in Film
Authors: Cumming Samuel , Greenberg Gabriel , Kaiser Elsi , Kelly Rory
Published: October 2021

In this paper, we describe two film conventions for representing what a character sees: point of view (POV) and sight link. On a POV interpretation, the viewpoint of a shot represents the viewpoint of a particular character; while in sight link, a shot of a character looking off-screen is associated with a shot of what they are looking at. Our account of both treats them as spatial in nature, and relates them to similar spatial interpretative principles that generalize beyond character eyelines. We additionally observe that whether the object shot in a sight link takes a POV interpretation depends on whether the glance shot precedes or follows it. We offer a processing account of this effect of order on interpretation, which relies on the assumption that spatial coherence in film is established by incremental viewpoint grounding.
