Authors: Listyalina Latifah , Buyung Irawadi , Munir Agus Qomaruddin , Mustiadi Ikhwan , Dharmawan Dhimas Arief
Published: November 2022

Purpose: In this study, the authors designed an algorithm based on convolutional neural networks that can automatically assess tire quality.Design/methodology/approach: The proposed algorithm is built through several stages as follows. In the first stage, the tire images, which are the input of the designed algorithm, are acquired. Further, the acquired images are divided into two sets, namely training and testing sets. The training set contains tire images used in the training phase of several convolutional neural networks (CNN) architectures such as ResNet-50, MobileNetV2, Inception V3, and DenseNet-121. The training phase is carried out in a number of epochs, and at each epoch, the cross entropy loss function will be calculated which expresses the performance of the CNN architecture in classifying tire images. For this reason, the training stage requires a label or reference that shows the feasibility of the tires displayed in each image.Findings/result: In the testing phase, trained CNN architectures are used to classify tire images from the test set. Classification performance in the test set is also expressed in terms of cross-entropy loss function value. In addition, the accuracy value has also been calculated which shows the percentage of the number of tire images that are successfully classified correctly to the total number of tire images in the test set, namely the DenseNet-121 model has the best accuracy of 92.62%.Originality/value/state of the art: Given the high accuracy achieved by our algorithm, this work can be used as a reference by other researchers, specifically to benchmark their tire quality classification methods developed in the future.

Authors: Upuy Doms , Palembang Citra Fathia
Published: November 2022

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that causes major health problems in the world by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It spreads through the air when people with TB cough or sneeze. Maluku was in the 10th position with the most TB cases in Indonesia in 2016. Various programs and activities to control TB in Ambon City are carried out, from the process of finding cases, treating patients, health promotions to sputum examination. After that, an evaluation is carried out as an effort to prevent and control to measure the level of success and effectiveness of institutional programs in order to achieve organizational goals. To find out the development of TB cases in Maluku, especially the city of Ambon, the research conducted this time also used the k-means clustering algorithm for the rapidminer application to analyze the death rate of TB patients in terms of age and length of treatment at RSU Dr. M. Haulussy Ambon. The research conducted obtained that the highest number of patients who died were in cluster 1 with an age range of 36-55 years, then followed by the second position in cluster 0 with an age range of 6-33 years, and the last in cluster 2 with a total number of patients. died in the age range of 59-84 years. The length of stay of patients in the hospital varies from half a day to day 21 and is experienced by patients who recover as well as die. The highest patient mortality rate is in the productive age group, rarely does exercise and often engages in active activities and meets many people every day, smoking habits and lack of knowledge about health are the causes of more productive age groups suffering from TB

Intersex newborns and people with nonbinary gender identity: The beginning of legal recognition
Authors: Ziemińska Renata
Published: November 2022

Intersex newborns cannot be qualified as male or female at the level of their biological traits. People with nonbinary gender identity are those who do not identify as a man or a woman (at the level of gender identity). In most countries both groups, intersex people and nonbinary people, are in legal limbo. The existence of congenital eunuchs/ hermaphrodites is confirmed in the Bible. Recently, a process has begun to introduce third sex/gender options in documents. I discuss the legal recognition in Germany, where since 2019 there have been used three sex/gender categories: male, female, and diverse (divers). Finally, I present a nonbinary and multilayered conceptualization of sex/gender that goes beyond the system of male/female categorization. It includes a third category in addition to male/female and allows us to describe the clash of layers.
Sexual harassment in a university setting: Searching for justice and compassion in an unjust and indifferent world
Authors: Failinger Marie A.
Published: November 2022

The article deals with the question concerning legal responses to sexual harassment – whether those responses should be relentless in punishing and stigmatizing perpetrators and banishing them from positions where they can offend further, or whether there should be room for rehabilitating or even forgiving at least those offenders whose abusive behavior is not violent or serial. On the one hand, the importance of achieving justice and equality for women is critical. On the other hand, one may recognize the possibility of repentance and restoration of both victim and offender to society. The modern restorative justice movement, informed by Christian theology, suggests that alternative dispute resolution mechanisms should not only ensure that victims receive appropriate restoration for the harm they have suffered, but also try to restore perpetrators who accept responsibility for their offenses back into the community. It seems that practiced in the right cases, restorative justice may turn the disempowerment and fearful, sometimes guilty in-turning that victims may experience in adjudicative processes, into a freedom of giving beyond justice, and they may move the self-justificatory shame of a perpetrator into true repentance and reparatory action. At least, restorative justice may push them toward a relational dynamic that is healthier for both whether they must necessarily encounter each other in the future or free themselves from the hurt of the past.
Assessment of Knowledge of Gluten-Free Diet Amongst Food Handlers in Hospitals
Authors: Zhou Felix , Mullen Tyler , Kulai Tasha , Rashid Mohsin
Published: November 2022

Purpose: When admitted to the hospital, individuals with celiac disease rely on food handlers for provision of safe, uncontaminated gluten-free meals. We aimed to assess the knowledge of gluten-free diet (GFD) amongst individuals involved in meal preparation for patients.

Methods: A questionnaire with 10 demographic and 35 test items to assess knowledge of GFD, including workplace scenarios encountered in meal preparation, was administered to food handlers including cooks, utility workers, dietary technicians, and supervisors in 2 tertiary care, university-affiliated hospitals. A score of ≥28 of 35 (≥80%) was considered a “pass”.

Results: A total of 72 individuals completed the study, mean age 40.3 ± 1.6 years, 75% female. Only 42 (56.8%) scored ≥80% and achieved a pass. The average score was 75.9% ± 13.4%, range 25.7%–100%. The supervisors had significantly higher scores (87.9% ± 11.4%) than utility workers (73.0% ± 11.4%; P = 0.01) and cooks (71.7% ± 14.5%; P = 0.01). Cooks had the lowest scores with 80% scoring <80%. Females scored higher than males (77.8% vs. 68.8%; P = 0.02).

Conclusions: There are significant differences in GFD knowledge amongst various groups involved in food preparation in hospitals. The gaps identified in knowledge can potentially compromise the safety of patients with celiac disease. Targeted interventions to educate hospital food handlers about GFD are warranted. Registered Dietitians can play an important role in providing this education.

For the rapid development of society, it is necessary to form a new cultural image of a person who implements intercultural communication and is fluent in the latest innovative technologies. Intercultural learning is still relevant to be studied and it attracts the attention of many researchers worldwide as well as educators. The present paper explores components of intercultural competence through foreign films for forming students' competence in international communication. The process of integration into the world community and the creation of an open democratic society has set a new goal for Kazakhstan's education system - to see itself as a citizen of the world living in a certain country, not only as a representative of their own culture but also as a carrier. to bring up a capable person, to form a cultured person who has absorbed the richness of the cultural heritage of his people and the peoples of other countries, seeks mutual understanding with them and is ready to carry out interpersonal and intercultural interaction.

There are several approaches to considering the concept of environmental friendliness of psychological impact, among which the dialogical one should be especially highlighted. Dialogue as a way of “co-being” and “being-human”, acts as a natural form and method of psychological influence and help, specifying the peculiarities of understanding the client in a situation of psychological counseling, the collapse of the atmosphere of dialogue means failure to be oneself and the loss of the possibility of inter-human contact. A meaningful indicator of professional understanding in psychological counseling is understanding strategies as ways of forming meaning that lies in the approaches to understanding themselves. Environmental friendliness of understanding presupposes understanding that is born in dialogue, "co-existence", "fundamentally responsive", characterized by "direct contact" with the inner world of another, reflecting the process of experiencing his / her otherness, its capabilities, necessity, and productivity, the presence of a need for understanding, functions, and factors of understanding. It is important to understand that in addition to the values and goals of those communicating, understanding and transitioning to his / her new strategy is possible if a human has the desire to look and understand, it is determined in the event of the response.

Didactic communication is the communication of subjects about learning: its various components and processes. Didactic communication can only be studied as a multi-component, multilevel and multistage phenomenon, the features of which (modes, opportunities, limitations) are associated with the features of personal, interpersonal, and professional development of the subjects of interaction, manifested in the features of their understanding of themselves and the surrounding world, situations (tasks) of educational and professional activities. The main features of didactic communication are associated with its modes (orientation): learning, self-learning, and mutual learning. Didactic communication in various modes has different opportunities and limitations for the training and development of subjects of interaction, largely regardless of the subject area or specialization to which the student(s) belongs. As for the possibilities and limitations of various modes of didactic communication, in the reality of which all modes coexist in different proportions, depending on the level of personal, interpersonal, and professional development of a person, we can note the unproductiveness of learning and learning modes in working with subjects who have reached a high level of development in these areas. On the contrary, in didactic communication with children and beginners and specialists (students), these modes will be the basis for productive learning.

Augmented Reality is a technology that combines real-world measurement with the dimensions of the virtual world exposed in real-time. It doesn't completely replace what's in the real world, like virtual reality, but just adds to it. This is done by "painting" three-dimensional objects on markers, which are unique "patterns" that can be recognised by the application. Smartphones can develop Augmented Reality applications at low prices and can be used by many consumers. Augmented Reality can be сonsumed in various fields, one of which is the educational sphere as a learning media tool. It can be used to create a more interactive learning environment where students can interact directly with virtual world objects so that students can learn while playing. The application development process in this study is based on the waterfall model. The augmented reality app was developed for teachers and students as a medium in school. The app uses the Vuforia SDK software as a tool to create Augmented Reality. Java and C++ are based on Android. Real-world surface layer applications and earth structure recognition applications can read markers in Augmented Reality geography books. As a medium, they will display 3D models on the screen of android devices and display 3D on the layers and structures of the earth.

Published: November 2022

Neste presente trabalho, nosso objetivo é apresentar as dimensões social e verbo-visual do gênero “post em rede social”, especialmente, analisando um enunciado publicado na rede social Facebook, pela página Quebrando o Tabu. Entendemos, inseridos no campo de estudos da Linguística Aplicada (MOITA LOPES, 2006) e na perspectiva dialógica da linguagem, que a linguagem se entretece por meio de interações discursivas, em enunciados concretos, que se realizam em um gênero discursivo. Para tanto, tomamos como base teórica os estudos do Círculo de Bakhtin (VOLOSHINOV; BAKHTIN, 1926; BAKHTIN, 2016[1952-53]; VOLÓCHINOV, 2017[1929]) e de autores contemporâneos que não apenas inserem-se na mesma perspectiva, mas que também discutem os gêneros do discurso sob o viés bidimensional do gênero (RODRIGUES, 2001; 2005; ACOSTA PEREIRA, 2008; 2012; AUTOR(A), 2014; BROCARDO, 2015). Deste modo, trata-se, portanto, de uma pesquisa de base qualitativo-interpretativista, baseada na proposta metodológica do método sociológico.

DIVERGENCE OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONTEMPORARY MIDDLE EAST COUNTRIES (TURKEY, IRAN, PAKISTAN)
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Belokrenitsky Vyacheslav
Published: November 2022

Rates of economic growth and some major parameters of socio-economic development of the countries of the contemporary Middle East are analyzed in the article. Departing from the Russian geopolitical tradition the author puts forward arguments for delineating the region comprising Turkey, Iran and Pakistan as chief components of today's Middle East which does not include the mostly Arab Near East. The article proceeds to reveal some basic features of development of the three countries and underlines that socio-economic and socio-cultural charactestics of these countries in the initial stage after the end of WWII were to a large extent similar. But later their growth started to differ considerably. In the result, Turkey has progressed to have a higher middle income economy with a solid industrial-cum-agricultural basis. Iran was lagging somewhat behind with fast but uneven rates of growth. Both states have left Pakistan squirely behind belonging to lower-income countries, suffering from overpopulation and inadequate productivity of labour in both agricultural and industrial sectors. Some reasons of such divergence are mentioned in the article which concludes with remarks on how difference in the economic sphere may influnce geopolitical situation in the region.

Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Borisov Mikhail
Published: November 2022

An important part of the current world's energy transition is the emergence of the electricity storage sector in the energy complex, which rationalizes and optimizes energy production, transportation, distribution and consumption making operation of grids stable, economical and safe. Energy storage is actually an alternative to construction of new power stations. When developed, the energy storage sector will give oriental countries an opportunity to avoid braking the accelerated economic growth of their backward energy sector as compared to leading industries. New productive forces in energy will make it possible to substantially reduce the negative consequences of the shortage of some energy resources as well as put an end to «energy curse».

Low-carbon development of Russia under the foreign economic restrictions
Authors:   The Institute of Economic Forecasting of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Shirov A. A. ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia
Published: November 2022

The article discusses the main factors infl uencing the formation of the of low carbon development strategy of Russia in a changing macroeconomic environment. The motives of the implementation of the climate agenda by various countries of the world are considered. A position is being formed that refl ects Russia’s interests in the implementation of climate policy. It is noted that the key factor in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is technology change. In turn, the main limitation in this case is the capital intensity of the introduction of individual technologies. A key feature of the Russian economy is the need for structural shifts to ensure the sustainability of development in the medium term. In this regard, when implementing climate policy, modernization measures can be introduced to reduce GHG emissions. At the same time, investments in fi xed assets will be the key factor in reducing emissions. It is shown that in the conditions of deterioration of foreign economic relations with developed countries and related technological constraints, both negative effects for the decarbonizartion strategy, as well as some positive shifts occur, determined by possible structural shifts in the Russian economy.
Scenarios of transformation: Decarbonization of the Russian economy
Authors:   Institute for Energy and Finance, Salikhov M. R. ,   National Research University “Higher School of Economics”, Moscow, Russia
Published: November 2022

The paper presents a forecast of the structure of power sector in Russia in 2050 under various scenarios for the transformation of the energy system and the possible prices for greenhouse gas emissions. CO2 emissions in the power sector by 2050 can be 32.7% lower compared to 2020 in sustainable development scenario (SDS) with an average CO2 price of $27/t over the period. In this scenario, the capacity structure will shift in favor of an increase in the share of nuclear and gas generation with a reduction in coal generation. In the scenario of zero greenhouse gas emissions (Net Zero), the price of CO2 is 37% higher compared to the scenario of sustainable development ($37/t). The implementation of the latter scenario will reduce emissions in the power industry by 40% compared to 2020. The article gives recommendations for changing the economic policy that would accelerate the decarbonization of the Russian economy and identifi es key risks of decarbonization.
Predicting the value of professional sport clubs. A study of European soccer, 2005–2018

Published: November 2022

This article aims to build a general valuation model that can be applied by investors and current shareholders of professional sport clubs from different countries and leagues. The study is based on panel data on the valuation of soccer clubs published annually by Forbes. Authors analyze all value-drivers that were used previously, expanding the time horizon (number of observations) and incorporating various models including linear and non-linear mixed effect regressions. The best performance is obtained using a mixed-effect model with treebased fi xed part. The following determinants were found signifi cant for the fi xed effect: revenue and number of Google search requests. Analysis of actual deals in 2015–2020 confi rms the model’s predictive ability. It is also shown that since Forbes overestimates the market value of soccer clubs, the proposed model predicts an upper bound on the real value. In this regard, transactions with real value exceeding the estimates are of particular interest. A deeper analysis of such transactions allows to identify additional “non-soccer” factors affecting the deal. Therefore, the proposed model can serve as a tool for the rapid assessment of a soccer club based on open data.
The impact of global shocks on the Russian economy: FAVAR approach
Authors:   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Moscow, Russia, Zubarev A. V. , Rybak K. S. ,   Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, Moscow, Russia
Published: November 2022

In this study, we estimate the contribution of global demand, supply and commodity shocks to the dynamics of Russian macroeconomic variables. The main tool used in this work is a factor augmented vector autoregression (FAVAR) that allows extracting global factors from a wide range of variables. Recursive and sign restrictions are used to identify global shocks. Russian economy is represented by a large set of informational series aggregated into a small number of factors. FAVAR approach allows for extended inference on the reaction of Russian macroeconomic variables to global shocks. Impulse response function analysis shows that Russian economy is affected by all three specifi ed global shocks and forecast error decompositions indicate that those shocks account for nearly 80 per cent of key variables dynamics. We also showed that global demand and global commodity shocks were more crucial compared to the third type of shocks in explaining macroeconomic dynamics.
Russia’s agri-food exports until 2030: Projection from a partial equilibrium model

Based on the applied economic and mathematical partial equilibrium model, the article estimates the volume of Russian exports of basic agri-food products until 2030. The results of simulation indicate a more dynamic increase in exports compared to the agricultural output. At the same time, grain and sunfl ower oil will remain the main products of Russian agrifood exports. Among the agri-food products presented in the study, sugar and milk exports will decline. The reduction in sugar exports is mainly due to a decrease in sugar production, while milk exports are infl uenced by growing domestic demand. In general, the supply of domestic products to Russian consumers is relatively stable, and the share of exports in agri-food products under certain conditions may increase from 19.6% in 2019 to 24.6% in 2030. Agri-food output is growing under the infl uence of technological progress, increasing consumer expenditures and export-stimulating measures by 5.6–6.5% compared to 2019, while measures to restrict the exports of grain and sunfl ower oil limit the growth of agri-food output to 0.6–0.8%.In this regard, the development of Russia’s agri-food sector is largely determined by the dynamics of real incomes of the population and the need to gradually abandon the application of export restriction measures.
Decrease in differentiation of electric power supply in regions and sustainable development of the Russian economy
Authors:   Central Economics and Mathematics Institute RAS, Moscow, Russia, Nekrasov S. A.
Published: November 2022

Differentiation in (per capita) electricity consumption (PC) between developed and developing countries is decreasing in the world. However, the difference between Russian regions in terms of this indicator in 1990–2020 increased. It is shown that an increase in differentiation in the electric power supply leads to an increase in imbalances in socio-economic development. The relationship between the low profi tability of goods and services in the regions and low EPC was revealed. Unlike developing countries, where electricity consumption is limited by the possibilities of electricity production, in the Russian regions the limiting factor is the underdevelopment of electricity consumers. Under conditions of underdeveloped industry and low power supply, higher losses in power networks are characteristic, which causes a signifi cant increase in electricity prices for local industrial and agricultural consumers. Prerequisites are created for the transfer of industrial and agricultural production to regions with lower electricity supply costs. The mechanism aimed at preventing this negative trend is considered. As a result of its implementation, the modernization of production processes at electricity consumers will be initiated and conditions will be created for the emergence of new points of growth in these currently subsidized regions.
Efectos del cambio climático en las zoonosis y la regulación internacional
Authors: Alonso Lozano Lilia , Ivanova Boncheva Antonina , Bermúdez Contreras Alfredo Sergio
Published: November 2022

El clima integra procesos que permiten la existencia de la vida, pero las actividades antropogénicas lo han modificado. El presente tiene como objetivo analizar los factores, con énfasis el cambio climático (CC), que impactan en la interacción humano-animal (IHA) y modifican las zoonosis, así como examinar los compromisos internacionales adoptados. Se realizaron búsquedas sistemáticas a través de plataformas y bibliotecas digitales con apoyo de palabras clave, se analizó la información y se generaron conclusiones. El efecto del CC en la zoonosis se aprecia en cambios en la distribución de vectores y patógenos, aparición de enfermedades emergentes y reemergentes, alimentos contaminados. Los compromisos internacionales enfocados al CC y la salud son diversos; van desde la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático y las Conferencias de las Partes, hasta el Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica y las Conferencias de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Desarrollo Sostenible. Se concluye que el CC cambia la IHA y exacerba las amenazas por enfermedades zoonóticas especialmente en países vulnerables, en virtud de lo cual se necesitan políticas climáticas y de salud basadas en las necesidades de cada país, pero vinculantes. La biósfera se mantendrá si la cooperación entre los países asegura la conservación y uso sostenible de la biodiversidad.

This research investigates the acoustic characteristics of woven jute fabric in relation to fabric structural variables. The research is designed to fulfil the existing gap on acoustic characteristics of woven jute fabrics. The focus was on the effect of woven jute fabric structural parameters such as weft yarn linear density, weft density and number of weft float over warp on sound absorption coefficient and noise reduction coefficient. The sound absorption coefficient was measured using impedance tube method as per ASTM E1050 standard. Noise reduction coefficient was measured from the mean value of sound absorption coefficient observed at 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz and 2500 Hz. A Box–Behnken experimental design was adopted for research design and woven jute sample planning. The experimental work revealed that the plain woven jute samples prepared with 40 tex weft yarn consisting of 8 weft threads/cm showed higher mean values of sound absorption coefficient and noise reduction coefficient compared to twill and satin weave. The experimental results and statistical analysis showed that the effect of number of weft yarn float over warp and weft yarn linear density is significantly influencing sound absorption coefficient and noise reduction coefficient whereas the effect of weft density is found not significant.

هدفت هذه الدراسة الميدانية إلى دراسة ايكولوجية  المناطق العشوائية في مدينة سكيكدة حيث تكونت  في ظروف متشابهة ارتبطت بشكل أساسي بمراحل نمو المدينة ابتداء من آخر مرحلة كولونيالية و التي صادفت الثورة التحريرية إلى المراحل المختلفة لما بعد الاستقلال.

أوضحت نتائج الدراسة أن هناك نموا حضريا يسير بنمطين مختلفين (المدينة الرسمية و العشوائيات)  فكلما اتسعت المدينة "الرسمية" اتسعت معها المناطق العشوائية وفق منطق الاستجابة إلى الحلول المناسبة لكل منها. فالعشوائيات بمدينة سكيكدة، هي جزء و مرحلة من مراحل تطور المدينة على الأقل منذ الفترة الكولونيالية المتأخرة و إلى فترة الاستقلال على مدار الخمسين سنة الأخيرة.وكشفت  نتائج الدراسة  الاعتماد الكبير على عملية البناء في الاستحواذ على المجال كإستراتيجية مهيمنة على سلوك الأسر، والذي بالعلاقات الإثنية التي تميز العلاقات الجوارية داخل المنطقة العشوائية تحقيقا للأمن الجماعي. و بينت الدراسة من ناحية أخرى أن العوامل الدافعة إلى السكن في العشوائيات تتأرجح بالأساس بين مشكلة السكن والأسباب الشخصية وكلاهما مرتبطان ببعض على أساس أن ضيق المسكن العائلي وارتفاع درجة الازدحام يؤدي في كثير من الأحيان إلى خروج الأبناء المتزوجين منه باحثين عن مأوى خاص. و تتم عملية الحيازة والاستحواذ على المجال الحضري داخل المدينة عبر جيوب بعيدة عن الأنظار وهي أراضي تقع داخل المحيط العمراني للمدينة(ملك للبلدية) فرضت وجودها بتعدد المواقع وشكلت جبهة اجتماعية وجماعة ضاغطة داخل المدينة. و بالاعتماد على الشواهد والمعطيات الميدانية التي تم الحصول عليها عبر مؤشرات أساسية لفهم الواقع الذي تبرزه  عشوائيات مدينة سكيكدة فقد توصلت الدراسة إلى حقيقة ثابتة أن ثقافة العشوائيات بمدينة سكيكدة هي سلوك وممارسة من خلال أشكال الحيازة وأنماط التكيف تعززها تنشئة اجتماعية بخصائص المنطقة العشوائية. وهذه الثقافة أوجدت من جديد مقومات إنتاج وإعادة إنتاج العشوائيات الحضرية بكل ملامحها الايكولوجية.

من عجائب  الخلق الإلهي وأسراره  تنوع الألوان والأشكال والأجناس، ويظهر هذا التباين في ألوان الكون والطبيعة إلى تباين كلّ خلق من المخلوقات، وقد انعكست هذه المظاهر التي كان لها الحضور الواسع والمهيمن ، فضلاً عن المصادر الأخر التي تمثلت بالمرأة والخمرة والشّيب والحروب وأدواتها على مخيلة فتيان الشاغوري الشعرية ، فأنتج أروع الصور الشعرية اللونية، وقد أظهر الشاعر هذه الألوان في جماليات مثارة عبر الرمز والإيحاء دلالةً على معاني متعددة تؤدي إلى تداعيات لونية تكثيفية ترسم معانٍ جميلة ، وفي صور هذا التكثيف يجدها القارئ مرةً توافق ما هو متعارف في حياة الناس ، وأخرى يذكرها الشاعر في مفارقات فنية جميلة غير معهودة دلالاتها إلا من خلال صورة مكثّفة يكون اللون النقطة الأساس فيها ، وتمتد عنهُ ايحاءات دلالية فنية متنوعة، بالإضافة إلى ذلك كانت الأساليب البلاغية تتعاضد مجتمعةً في تشكيل هذه الصور، ولاسيّما التشبيه والجناس والكناية والاستعارة ولاسيّما الاستعارة المكنية ، وما أضفتهُ من رؤى تشخيصية وتجسيمية كان لها أثر واضح في صورهِ .

Alzheimer’s Disease: A Systems View Provides a Unifying Explanation of Its Development
Authors: Grobler Corlia , van Tongeren Marvi , Gettemans Jan , Kell Douglas B. , Pretorius Etheresia
Published: November 2022

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative disorder affecting 50 million people globally. It is characterized by the presence of extracellular senile plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, consisting of amyloid-β and hyperphosphorylated tau proteins, respectively. Despite global research efforts, there is currently no cure available, due in part to an incomplete understanding of the disease pathogenesis. Numerous possible mechanisms, or hypotheses, explaining the origins of sporadic or late-onset AD have been proposed, including the amyloid-β, inflammatory, vascular, and infectious hypotheses. However, despite ample evidence, the failure of multiple trial drugs at the clinical stage illuminates the possible pitfalls of these hypotheses. Systems biology is a strategy which aims to elucidate the interactions between parts of a whole. Using this approach, the current paper shows how the four previously mentioned hypotheses of AD pathogenesis can be intricately connected. This approach allows for seemingly contradictory evidence to be unified in a system-focused explanation of sporadic AD development. Within this view, it is seen that infectious agents, such as P. gingivalis, may play a central role. The data presented here shows that when present, P. gingivalis or its virulence factors, such as gingipains, may induce or exacerbate pathologies underlying sporadic AD. This evidence supports the view that infectious agents, and specifically P. gingivalis, may be suitable treatment targets in AD.
A First Inventory of Investigational Concerns for Prognostic Systems Thinking based on an Extended Conceptual Framework
Authors: Horváth Imre
Published: November 2022

As the nature of systems changes, systems thinking must also change. A currently happening strong change is proliferation of highly intellectualized and socially deeply embedded engineered systems, which raise many novel and crucial technological, managerial, social, organizational, business, environmental, human, and so forth, issues. Considering the influences of this change, it is argued that there is a need for prognostic systems thinking (PST) that considers not only the observable manifestation of systems, but also the trends of their overall development. The reported research is based on a comprehensive literature study and concept relationship analysis. Its goal was deriving a comprehensive set of investigational concerns based on an extended conceptual framework. Rendered as a semantic network, this conceptual framework rests on a set of foundational concepts (semantically interconnected pillars). The paper (i) explains the reasons of the abovementioned need, (ii) identifies the pillars of contemporary analytic systems thinking as well as a set of up-and-coming new pillars, (iii) presents a first iteration of the novel conceptual framework, (iv) discusses the proposed investigation concerns for prognostic systemic analysis, and (iv) casts light on their implications with regard to PST. Furthermore, some currently open issues (such as determination of the boundaries of systems, completeness/sufficiency of a given set of concerns, and ranking/preference of concerns) and research opportunities (such as methodological support of deriving concerns, objective concerns assessment in various application contexts, and computer support of PST) are suggested.
