On the Proof of the Existence of Nontotal Partial Degree and on the Turing Degree of Representative of This Partial Degree
Authors:   Institute for Informatics and Automation Problems of NAS RA, Mokatsian Arsen H.
Published: December 2024

The ordering of e-degrees (of total functions) is known to beisomorphic to the ordering of T-degrees. It is possible to form equivalence classes with respect to =еand in the set of all functions (not necessarily total). The resulting e-degrees are called partial degrees.In H. Rogers’Theory of Recursive Functions and Effective Computability[1],a proof of the existence of a non-total partial degreeis given along with a corollary to this theorem.The article contains a modification of the proof of the theorem given above, which allows us to significantly strengthen the results of the corollary, namely to prove that (∃𝜓)[𝜓is not partial computable & 𝜓≤"𝟎′& (∀𝑓)[𝑓≤#𝜓⇒𝑓is computable]] (in the above-mentioned corollary,it is noted that the constructed functionis only computably enumerable in 𝟎′).
Analyzing steady state Variance in Hebbian Learning: A Moment Closure Approach
Authors:   Russian-Armenian University, Vardanyan Edgar A.
Published: December 2024

Hebbian learning, an important concept in neural networks, is the basis for various learning algorithms that model the adaptation of neural connections, also known as synapses. Among these models, Oja’s rule stands out as an important example, giving valuable insights into the dynamics of unsupervised learning algorithms. The fact that the final steady-state solution of a single-layer network that learns using Oja’s rule equals the solution of Principal component analysis is well known. However, the way in which the learning rate can affect the variance of the final parameters is less explored. In this paper, we investigate how different learning rates can influence the variance of parameters in Oja’s rule, utilizing the moment closure approximation. By focusing on the variance, we offer new perspectives on the behavior of Oja’s rule under varying conditions. We derive a closed-form equation that connects the parameter variance with the learning rate and shows that the relationship between these is linear. This gives valuable insights that may help to optimize the learning process of Hebbian models.
A Multispectral Decomposition and Frequency-Based Framework for Salient Object Detection in Remote Sensing Images
Authors:   Yerevan State University, Gasparyan Hayk. A.
Published: December 2024

Salient object detection (SOD) aims to identify the most visually prominent objects in images, crucial for tasks like image segmentation, visual tracking, autonomous navigation, and photo cropping. While SOD has been extensively studied in natural scene RGB images, detecting salient objects in remote sensing images remains underexplored due to varying spatial resolutions and complex scenes.
This paper presents a novel framework for SOD called Multispectral Decomposition Network (MSD-Net) in remote sensing 3-band RGB images, combining Multispectral Decomposition and Frequency-based Saliency detection. The framework includes three key steps: (i) Multispectral Decomposition: Decomposing a 3-band RGB image into 32 multispectral bands to enhance feature capture across spectral domains; (ii) Synthetic RGB Reconstruction: Using a new entropy-based measure to select the most informative bands in salient regions by analyzing frequency domain and constructing synthetic RGB image; and (iii) Saliency Fusion and Object Detection: training a segmentation network on the fusion of synthetic RGB image and input image for improved accuracy. Comprehensive evaluations of public datasets demonstrate that the proposed method performs better than state-of-the-art (SOTA) models and offers a robust solution for detecting salient objects in complex remote sensing images by integrating multispectral and frequency-based techniques.

The CO2 Problem: Climate Models vs. Field Measurements
Authors:   Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, Texas 76019, USA, Shanmugam G
Published: December 2024

Developed countries (e.g., USA, Germany, and France) have the unfair advantage over developing countries (e.g., Republic of the Congo, Republic of Kenya, and Sri Lanka) in imposing climate rules that enforce the use of expensive renewable energy based on flawed climate models with inflated CO2 concentrations. This review attempts to bring attention to this irregular practice by amassing empirical data from field measurements on CO2 that contradict climate models. The content is presented in two parts, (1) the “PhanDA” model and (2) the CO2─1,000 ppm limit.
The “PhanDA” model-derived CO2 value by Judd et al. (2024) for the Present is ~220 ppm, which does not match the measured value of 420 ppm at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii for the Present in the Keeling Curve. During the past 50 years, the Keeling Curve shows a rapidly increasing CO2 trend, whereas the PhanDA model shows a rapidly decreasing trend.
Equally important, the PhanDA model is inapplicable for the Mesozoic era ((252 Ma-66 Ma), which represents 35% of the Phanerozoic eon (539 Ma-0). There is no correlation between Temperature and CO2 during the Mesozoic, which is the underpinning of the model. Therefore, the PhanDA model and the associated assertion on the importance of CO2 on Climate Change are problematic.
During a Trump-Musk Conversation on X (2024), Elon Musk claimed that when Atmospheric CO2 goes past 1,000 ppm from the current value of nearly 400 ppm at a rate of 2 ppm per year increase, it would cause headaches and nausea in humans. This is a consequential claim to human health. In addressing this vital issue, a rigorous examination of 80,302 empirical data points from 25 countries on CO2 concentration values available from direct measurements and from publications related to classrooms, conference rooms, dwellings, and aircraft cabins was carried out. This robust dataset (i.e., 46 figures and 13 tables) suggests that humans are able to function normally without adverse health effects even when CO2 concentration levels reach between 2,000 and 6,000 ppm. Further, the U.S. Government (USDA, 2024) does not consider the CO2─1,000 6limit as a health threat. In fact, the CO2 5,000 ppm is the U.S. Government’s Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of the daily workplace exposure. For basic physiological reasons, the concentration of CO2 in ambient air is almost irrelevant as long as it is much smaller than about 40,000 ppm, where it is in equilibrium with the optimum CO2 concentration of human blood. According to NRC (2007), 20,000 ppm is an appropriate sub chronic NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) for headaches. Therefore, the notion that headaches supposedly associated with the 1.000 ppm limit of CO2 is a fallacy. There is no need for concern about indoor CO2 levels in classrooms, conference rooms, dwellings, and aircraft cabins.
Epiphytic bacterial community analysis of the macroalgae Gongolaria barbata collected from the Sinop region on the Black Sea coast
Authors: Avşar Cumhur , Gümüş Fatih
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this study was to ascertain the epiphytic bacterial community structure of macroalgae Gongolaria barbata (Stackhouse) Kuntze samples taken from seawater using Single Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. It also aims to quickly obtain information regarding the composition of communities and the quality of the seawater. G. barbata samples were subjected to total DNA extraction, SSCP analysis was conducted with a focus on the V4-V5 region of 16S rRNA, and the bacterial community structure was determined through sequence analysis of a few chosen bands. Upon analyzing the SSCP gel picture and dendrogram, it was seen that the bacterial community structure on the macroalgae varied based on the location as well as within the same species. It was noted that the Gammaproteobacteria class accounted for 84.375 percent of the bands that were acquired from the SSCP analysis. The fact that the sequencing data generated from the bands collected at various points largely resembled Vibrio and Klebsiella genera was notable. This situation highlights the strong link between harmful or opportunistic infectious organisms and macroalgae species, several of which have been suggested for ingestion as food. Furthermore, even if research in the literature suggests that the macroalgae and the microbial load of the nearby water sample do not significantly correlate, we can conclude that this data suggests the possibility of risk.

Published: December 2024

The article presents the results of a study involving 91 patients with COVID-19-induced pneumonia, confirmed by polymerase chain reaction and computed tomography of the chest organs. Coagulogram parameters were assessed upon hospital admission. Patients were divided into three groups based on the extent of lung involvement: CT1 group – less than 25% lung involvement, CT2 group – 25-50% lung involvement, and CT3 group – more than 50% lung involvement. An increase in D-dimer levels in blood plasma was found in 56.0% of the overall group of patients, specifically in the CT2 group (92.1% of patients) and CT3 group (100% of cases). An increase in fibrinogen levels was also observed only in the CT2 and CT3 groups: 86.8% of patients and 100% respectively, while in the overall group, it was noted in 53.8% of patients. An increase in the prothrombin index was less frequently observed in the CT2 and CT3 groups: 26.3% in the CT2 group and 100% of cases in the CT3 group, and in the overall group – 28.6% of patients. It was concluded that the identified changes in the coagulogram – COVID-19-induced coagulopathy – are an important element in the pathogenesis of the disease and one of the most significant adverse prognostic indicators. These changes are associated with the severity of COVID-19-induced pneumonia and are important for assessing the clinical situation, choosing therapy, and preventing complications.

Authors:   Belarusian State Medical University, V. A. Baginskiy
Published: December 2024

Objectives. Evaluation of the accuracy of bone age assessment and efficiency of clinical use of the web–based software applications developed by the author to assess the bone age of children in the Republic of Belarus.
Materials and methods. X–ray images of the hand and wrist joint in direct projection of 600 male and female patients at the age of 2–15.9 years. Bone age determination was performed using the Greulich–Pyle method and various modifications of the Tanner-Whitehouse method (TWII (CARPAL), TWII 20 (20 BONE), TWII (RUS), TWIII (RUS)) using paper versions of manuals and web-based software applications.
Results. The accuracy values of bone age assessment calculated using web–based software applications are comparable to the accuracy values obtained using paper versions of the Greulich–Pyle and Tanner–Whitehouse manuals. Web–based software applications can significantly reduce the time required to analyze radiographs and simplify bone age calculations. The use of digital technologies enables specialists to use more objective, accurate and complex methods of bone age assessment in routine clinical practice, such as the Tanner–Whitehouse TWIII (RUS) method, consuming the same amount of time to analyze X–ray images as when using the simple and less accurate Greulich–Pyle method.
Conclusion. Web–based software applications can be used for bone age assessment in clinical practice. The use of applications allows clinicians to utilize more accurate and objective methods of bone age assessment, reduce examination time and simplify the process of analyzing the X–ray anatomical features of the bones of the hand and distal forearm.

Purpose: While pump manipulation is rarely problematic in male patients with artificial urinary sphincters (AUSs), the situation may differ in female patients due to anatomical or cultural factors. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of difficulties in pump manipulation among female AUS patients, identify associated risk factors, and explore management strategies for this challenging issue.Methods: Data were collected from all female patients who underwent a robotic AUS implantation at a single academic center between 2014 and 2022. The primary endpoint was temporary difficulties, defined by at least one other short hospitalization to learn pump manipulation.Results: Out of the 88 female AUS patients included in the study, 20 experienced initial difficulties manipulating the pump, accounting for 22.7% of the group. Temporary difficulties were reported by 16 patients (18.2%), while 4 patients (4.5%) had their devices permanently deactivated. Surgical reoperations to reposition the pump were necessary for 5 patients, representing 5.6% of the sample. The only variables significantly associated with temporary difficulties were longer operative time (183.4 minutes vs. 159.1 minutes, P=0.04) and the overall experience of the center (32 vs. 50, P=0.04). The sole variable significantly linked to serious difficulties was the overall experience of the center (11 vs. 47, P=0.004). Although the median age and body mass index were higher in the group with temporary difficulties, these differences were not statistically significant.Conclusions: Difficulties in manipulating the pump are relatively common among female AUS patients. Most of these difficulties can be resolved through repeated patient education and careful follow-up. However, some may lead to serious complications. Raising awareness of this issue, along with ongoing patient education and meticulous follow-up, may help to minimize these consequences.

This research was aimed at exploring the prevalence, association and differences between Ultra-Processed Food (UPF) consumption and emotional eating among male varsity badminton athletes and non-athlete university students. To conduct this study, a sample of 112 male students was drawn from eight universities from a major city in Pakistan. The sample included 56 varsity badminton athletes (M = 21.34, SD = 1.81) and 56 non-athlete students (M = 21.79, SD = 1.42). The tool to gather data involved a demographic questionnaire along with Highly Processed Food Consumption Questionnaire and the Emotional Eating Questionnaire. The SPSS version 27 was applied for analysis and investigation of data (IBM Corp, 2020). Results showed that male varsity badminton players reported low prevalence of both UPF consumption and emotional eating as compared to non-athlete university students.  Additionally, it was also observed that there was a significant positive association between UPF consumption and emotional eating among both groups. Lastly, male varsity badminton players reported low UPF consumption as compared to non-athlete university students. However, no significant mean differences in emotional eating scores were reported among both groups. These findings highlight the significance of participating in individual sports particularly badminton to counter emotional eating and reduce the consumption of UPFs among varsity students.

Published: December 2024

As Políticas Afirmativas na Cultura situam-se no ponto de encontro e emaranhamento im-previsíveis entre a institucionalização e a representação (identidades), ambas inerentes às democracias modernas, portanto, da repetição da diferença cultural que se reafirma pela separabilidade. O presente artigo tem como objetivo principal não simplesmente discutir sobre a criação e implementação das políticas afirmativas na cultura amarradas na redistribuição dos lugares ocupados, mas, especialmente, refletir sobre os perigos e possibilidades (phármakon) do rearranjo das relações que renunciem e sobrevivam às formas exclusivas de apropriação (representatividade) e expropriação (tokenismo). Trabalhando com o Pensamento do Tremor de Édouard Glissant e o Pensamento Negro Radical, bem como com as cartografias de um mundo em combustão e do terror anticoloniais de Achille Mbembe e Frantz Fanon e a Dívida Impagável de Denise Ferreira da Silva, a partir de uma pesquisa também documental, iremos apresentar brevemente a recente estruturação das políticas afirmativas na Secretaria de Cultura em parceria com outras secretarias do Estado do Ceará.Palavras-chave: Políticas Afirmativas.

AN EXAMINATION OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS' OPINIONS ABOUT THE SCHOOL THROUGH SOCIOLOGICAL THEORIES
Authors: Turan Bora Hatice
Published: December 2024

Sociological theories put forward to understand society are closely related to education, which is one of the social institutions. According to the common sociological perspective, which sees education as a function of society, every theory has the power to influence schools. The aim of this study is to examine school administrators' views on the definition of school, its purpose, teachers and administrators, and what should and should not be in schools through four sociological theories: Functionalist, conflictualist, interpretivist and critical. Knowing the theoretical background of school administrators' views on the school, which have direct and indirect effects on school development, and explaining school administrators' perspectives on the school will enable us to understand the foundations of school management and educational leadership behaviors. In addition, being able to reveal the intersection between sociology and school administration can develop action plans for getting support from the school to improve society.
Improvisation in religious music of Byzantine tradition
Authors: Galaicu Violina
Published: December 2024

The sources that fueled Byzantine sacred music, mostly oriental, as well as the multi-secular orality of its circulation, made this art possess a vast and rich spectrum of improvisational forms. The improvisational spirit manifests itself especially in the solo intonation and the more evolved melodic idioms, i.e. in the stihiraric and papadic singing, but also the irmologic singing leaves the psalmists a margin for individual contribution and invention. In all traditional musical cultures - and even more so in Byzantine music - improvisation starts from established patterns, predetermined laws, and parameters to be respected. First of all, the Byzantine monody presupposes the fixation of improvisational procedures on a precise modal framework. The hymnist and the performer will graft their additions/retouches on the initial, middle and final formulas of the chosen ihos while respecting the prescriptions of the given style (irmologic, stihiraric, papadic) and genre (diatonic, chromatic, enharmonic). The long practice of improvisational insertions (compositional, interpretative) has continuously refreshed the Byzantine monodic discourse, has cultivated its appetite for melodic eloquence, refined melodic sound paths, the generous and polymorphic ornamentation, the colors and savory modal nuances.
