Published: July 2024

According to World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020 there were 2.3 million of women have been diagnosed with breast cancer and there are up to 685,000 deaths globally. 85% of breast cancer arises in the lining cells (epithelium) of the ducts known as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). One of the contributing factors that increase cancer mortality is the lack of understanding of the biological complexities of cancer growth and its evolution. Mathematical-model approaches are widely used to quantitatively understand the behaviour of the cancer cells and the treatment resistance. In order to justify the treatment customization and convey the treatment inefficacy, the mathematical modelling is usually considered as a tool to support drug and treatment decision making. By now, several mathematical models via ordinary differential equations (ODEs) for the cancer cell growth process have been formulated in the literature. Unfortunately, due to the noise behaviour of cancerous cells, the developed linear model cannot represent the real behaviour of the cancer cells growth which led to the development of stochastic model of cancer cells growth. This study is devoted to comparing the performance of linear and stochastic cell growth model of DCIS. The linear model cell growth model of DCIS has been solved via Runge-Kutta method of order 4.0 while the stochastic cell growth model of DCIS has been solved via fifth-stage stochastic Runge-Kutta method (SRK5) of order 2.0. The numerical results obtained have been compared to the real cell growth data for DCIS patients and the best model representing the cell growth of DCIS has been concluded. This study has shown that stochastic Gompertzian model's has a great representation of the real systems of breast cancer cell growth. This useful clinical knowledge provides a better understanding of cancer evolution to overcome the treatment resistance hence may help oncologists to design better treatment strategies and bring opportunities to treat cancer patients.

Published: July 2024

To date, many studies have been conducted to discover the factors influencing the decline in environmental quality. Like other countries, ASEAN countries also experience pollution issues in pursuing economic progress. The STIRPAT model is a framework often used to investigate the relationship between the related variables. Thus, this study uses data on CO2 emissions, gross domestic products, trade openness, renewable energy and urbanization for seven selected ASEAN countries from 1995-2019. The aims of this study are to identify the factors that affect pollution among ASEAN countries, to model the long-term relationship between pollution and its related factors by considering interdependence among ASEAN countries and to investigate if EKC exists among the countries. The findings confirm that there is a cross-section dependency for ASEAN countries. The Westerlund cointegration test shows that the variables are cointegrated in the long run. Heterogeneous models that consider the effect of dependence between countries are used for estimation. The common correlated effects mean group (CCEMG) is seen as the best estimator compared to the augmented mean group (AMG) and mean group (MG) by having the smallest RMSE value. The estimated coefficient proves that there is a positive dependence on CO2. Interestingly, this study also proves that the Environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) exists among ASEAN countries. It suggests that economic growth can initially exacerbate environmental problems, but it also implies that as countries continue to develop economically, they may have the resources and incentives to implement environmental policies and regulations that can mitigate ecological degradation. Overall, it can be concluded that there is a dependency or similar behaviour between ASEAN countries on the issue of environmental quality. Therefore, to achieve ecological sustainability, cooperation from neighbouring countries is necessary.
Newton-SOR Iterative Method with Lagrangian Function for Large-Scale Nonlinear Constrained Optimization Problems
Authors: Peng Cheng  , Jumat Sulaiman  , Khadizah Ghazali  , Majid Khan Majahar Ali  , Ming Ming Xu
Published: July 2024

With the rapid development of computer technology and the wide application of nonlinear constrained optimization problems, many researchers are committed to solve large-scale constrained optimization problems. In this article, a new combinatorial iterative method is proposed on the basis of previous research, which can efficiently solve large-scale nonlinear constrained optimization problems. We first transform a large nonlinear constrained optimization problem into a corresponding unconstrained optimization problem by using the Lagrange multiplier method, and then the Newton iterative method is used to solve the transformed unconstrained optimization problem. To perform the iterative method, we need to compute its Newton direction, and the inverse matrix of Hessian matrix. To deal with the large-scale Hessian matrix, calculation of the inverse matrix for the Hessian matrix may not be easy to be determined. To overcome this issue, we propose the matrix iteration method to compute the Newton direction by solving the linear system as the internal iteration solution. Therefore, this paper investigates a Newton-SOR (NSOR) iterative method to solve this problem, in which the proposed NSOR iterative method combines the Newton method with Successive Over-Relaxation (SOR) iterative method. Based on the numerical experiments, the effectiveness of the proposed NSOR iterative method is more effective than the Newton-Gauss-Seidel (NGS) iterative method in terms of computing time and number of iterations.

Published: July 2024

This paper studies the performance of a hybrid conjugate gradient backpropagation (HCGBP) grid-connected solar photovoltaic (GCPV) based DSTATCOM. This paper proposes a hybrid control algorithm of instantaneous reactive power theory and conjugate gradient backpropagation neural network for an application of a grid-connected solar PV (GCPV) based DSTATCOM for three-phase three-wire system. The fundamental weighted value of active power components of load currents, which is necessary for estimating reference source currents, is extracted using a conjugate gradient backpropagation control algorithm. The performance of the proposed control algorithm has reduced the THD of the line current up to 1.32%. It is proven that HCGBP has better efficiency, faster response and easy to implement. The steady-state performance of the three-phase GCPV-DSTATCOM under non-linear load has been analysed through simulation and Hardware-in-loop (HIL) simulation based on real time DSP system using Texas Instrument TI C2000 32-bit microcontroller in MATLAB/Simulink. Furthermore, the simulation results have shown that the THD of the line current at the PCC has reduced less than 8%, according to the IEEE standard 519:2014.

Authors: Xu Jinxin , Wang Zhuoyue , Li Xinjin , Li Zichao , Li Zhenglin
Published: July 2024

Climaate prediction plays a vital role in various sectors, including agriculture, disaster management, and urban planning. Traditional methods for climate forecasting often rely on complex physical models, which require substantial computational resources and may not accurately capture local weather patterns. This study explores the potential of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, a type of recurrent neural network, for predicting daily climate variables such as temperature, precipitation, and humidity. Utilizing historical climate data from the city of Delhi, we developed an LSTM model to forecast short-term climate trends. The model consists of two LSTM layers followed by three Dense layers and is compiled with the Adam optimizer, mean squared error loss, and mean absolute error as a metric. Our results demonstrate the model's capability to capture temporal dependencies in climate data, achieving a satisfactory level of accuracy in temperature forecasting. This research underscores the potential of machine learning techniques, particularly LSTM networks, in enhancing climate prediction and contributing to more informed decision-making in weather-sensitive sectors.

The Role of Leadership Training in Developing Effective Police Supervisors
Authors: Motsamai Modise John , Masogo Philky
Published: July 2024

The purpose of the article was to examine how well police supervisors are equipped to lead their teams effectively and morally by means of leadership training programs. The disparity between the abilities needed for efficient supervision and those needed for police officers was the main topic of discussion. The fundamental abilities that police supervisors must possess are teamwork, communication, decision-making, and conflict resolution. The effectiveness of leadership development programs in providing supervisors with these competencies. The possible advantages of efficient leadership development, such as higher officer safety, decreased misbehavior, and better public reputation. The Main Points/Determinations: Officers may not be sufficiently prepared for the intricacies of supervisory responsibilities by traditional police training. Supervisors who participate in excellent leadership development programs can acquire the skills needed to effectively lead their teams. Gaining these abilities can result in better decision-making, more communication, and a happier workplace. Good leadership development programs may help reduce police misconduct and provide a safer atmosphere for both the public and cops. Reviewing previous studies on the effects of police leadership training was the methodology/approach. Examine the fundamental abilities deemed necessary for police supervisors. Examine how these abilities are addressed in leadership training programs through curriculum analysis or participant/developer interviews. Examine any connections that might exist between good leadership development and outcomes that are favorable to the public or less wrongdoing (this could include data analysis or case studies). The study's significance and implications were that it made clear how crucial it is to fund thoughtfully crafted leadership development initiatives for police supervisors. Police agencies may cultivate a more professional, ethical, and community-focused force by providing supervisors with the required training. Good leadership development programs can increase public confidence, lower misbehavior, and make everyone's surroundings safer. The leaders of the police department (chiefs, training officers) were in attendance. Government officers and policymakers. scholars and researchers in criminal justice. Neighborhood groups that support police reform. This training prepares police officers for supervisory roles by equipping them with the skills necessary to lead effectively. Through communication, decision-making, and conflict resolution training, supervisors become better equipped to handle challenging situations. The program also fosters team building by teaching motivation, delegation, and trust- building techniques. Ultimately, effective leadership training enhances public perception of the police, reduces misconduct, and improves officer safety.
Adjustment Dynamics of First-Year Students to University Life at a Rural University in South Africa
Authors: Mokhampanyane Matsolo
Published: July 2024

This research paper discussed the adjustment dynamics of first-year students to university life. Registering for the first time at the university seems to impose various challenges on newcomers. Most first-year students experience adjustment challenges in university life, which seem to lead to poor academic performance. Their performance stimulated the need to find the challenges and find ways to enhance adjustments and challenges to improve academic performance. The theory underlying this paper was Critical Emancipatory Research Theory. Participatory action research was employed in this study to collect data and a thematic approach was used to analyse data. A WhatsApp group was created to facilitate group conversations for data collection. The paper responds to two research questions: What adjustment challenges are experienced by first-year university students? In which ways can adjustment challenges be overcome? Participants in the study were ten first-year university students from two faculties. The study found that the factors contributing to difficulties in adjustment were a university workload, lack of residential accommodation, and lack of financial support. In light of the findings, the study recommends support strategies and programs that promote interaction with and among those who are newcomers at the university and the building of more residences for students. This paper contributes to the continued discussion about how newcomers can be supported to ensure they are settled in a conducive academic environment.

Little Red Dots from Low-spin Galaxies at High Redshifts
Authors: Loeb Abraham
Published: July 2024

Recently, a new population of compact, high-redshift (z ≳ 7) galaxies appeared as little red dots (LRDs) in deep JWST observations. The latest spectroscopic data indicates that these galaxies contain an evolved stellar population, reflecting an early episode of high star formation-rate. The appearance of broad emission lines suggests that a central overmassive black hole also powers these galaxies. I propose that LRD galaxies represent the low-spin tail of the galaxy population. Low-spin galaxies host a more compact gaseous disk with an enhanced star formation rate relative to typical galaxies at the same redshift. The compact disk feeds efficiently a central black hole, as predicted by Eisenstein & Loeb.
Simulations on Levitation and Spatial Distribution of Charged Dust on the Moon Surface

Published: July 2024

The levitation of charged dust, which may cause serious hazards to astronauts and lunar rovers, has been one of the most significant challenges in lunar exploration. Here we simulate lunar sheath potentials in different solar wind conditions and solar zenith angles (SZAs) on the lunar surface by the particle-in-cell method. The simulated potentials exhibit two types of distributions as a function of height, depending on the SZAs. For SZA ∼ 0°–70°, the nonmonotonic distribution with positive surface potential dominates in the photoelectron sheath. For SZA >∼81°, the monotonic distribution with negative surface potential is observed in the plasma sheath. With the calculated potentials and the assumption that the dust radius distribution exponentially decreases, we further investigate spatial distributions of the dust levitated above the surface. It is found that number density of the levitating lunar dust is enhanced at the terminator (SZA ∼ 81°) in the plasma sheath. In the photoelectron sheath it gradually decreases as the SZA increases from 0° to 70°. Further calculations of the potential and the derived electrostatic field suggest that the dust spatial distributions can be influenced by the bulk velocity, number density, and temperature of the solar wind. Those findings deepen our understanding of lunar surface charging and the mechanism of lunar dust levitation, which can provide technical support for lunar explorations.

Published: July 2024

Systemic vasculitides are rare and heterogeneous diseases affecting different organs and systems with varying degrees of severity depending on the type of vessels affected. The etiology and pathogenesis are unclear. Immunе mechanisms play a role in the pathogenesis: deposition of immune complexes, autoantibodies (anti-endothelial and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody, cellular and molecular responses, granulomas, and endothelial cell damage. All vasculitides are “rare diseases”. ANCA- associated vasculitis has an incidence of 20 cases/1 million population. Without treatment, mortality is >90% within up to 5 years. We conducted a two-centre, retrospective, observational, non- interventional, epidemiological, health-demographic, clinical-pharmacological study to evaluate ANCA-associated vasculitis in Bulgaria. From 2018 to 2021, we screened 12 individuals with Wegener’s granulomatosis. The analyzed population is approximately 60% of the patients in Bulgaria. The time from symptom onset to diagnosis is short, but the diagnosis is made at an advanced stage of the disease - the measured BVAS version 3 activity is moderate-severe.

Du loisir à l’apprentissage de la vulnérabilité de la nature : jardiner en ville pour renouveler les relations aux vivants, à Malmö (Suède)
Authors: Alarcon Margaux , Marty Pascal
Published: July 2024

À partir du cadre théorique de l’éthique du care, cet article étudie dans quelle mesure les jardins associatifs offrent l’opportunité de tisser des liens avec la nature ordinaire, fondés sur l’attention et la responsabilité. Notre enquête ethnographique, fondée sur une observation participante conduite à Malmö (Suède) auprès d’un réseau local de jardinage urbain dans des quartiers défavorisés de la ville, et complétée par des entretiens semi-directifs, met en évidence que les jardins associatifs permettent un contact direct avec la nature et satisfont un besoin de relations à la nature pour les citadins et les citadines, qui peuvent développer une diversité de relations avec les plantes, dont des relations de soin. Cette enquête montre aussi que l’apprentissage de ces relations se fait par la pratique et grâce aux échanges avec les autres jardiniers et jardinières. Ces résultats soulignent l’importance, en ville, des espaces dédiés à l’apprentissage de relations complexes à l’égard de la nature, fondées sur l’attention aux interactions entre espèces et, d’autre part, l’importance des apprentissages sensoriels qui construisent des savoirs environnementaux.
Concevoir une médiation par le paysage comme outil d’appropriation des enjeux alimentaires par les habitants
Authors: Rich Flora , Petit-Berghem Yves
Published: July 2024

Les jardins potagers privés sont reconnus pour leur contribution aux systèmes alimentaires. Cependant, les modalités de participation des habitants-jardiniers aux politiques d’aménagement de territoires alimentaires durables demeurent faiblement conceptualisées. À partir du cas de Magny-en-Vexin (95), cet article propose de définir les contours méthodologiques d’une démarche de médiation par le paysage susceptible d’enrichir les réflexions en cours autour de la mise en place d’un Projet alimentaire territorial porté par le Parc naturel régional du Vexin français. En mobilisant les résultats d’une analyse cartographique diachronique et d’une enquête de terrain, cette contribution montre qu’une meilleure connaissance des pratiques jardinières à l’échelon communal peut être mise au service d’une appropriation des enjeux de l’autoproduction, et plus généralement de l’alimentation par les acteurs locaux, incluant les habitants.

O artigo apresenta a Psicologia Social do Trabalho (PST) como uma perspetiva de estudos e práticas que envolvem a realidade de trabalhadores em diferentes inserções laborais. Partindo do olhar de trabalhadores sobre os seus próprios processos organizativos no cotidiano de trabalho, a PST se posiciona em favor das demandas deles e assume um horizonte ético-político em defesa da justiça social. Para exemplificar as possibilidades da PST, o artigo sintetiza resultados de duas pesquisas de doutorado que focalizaram situações de trabalho distintas no contexto brasileiro : os carregadores de caminhão que atuam na cidade de Sorocaba (São Paulo) e as domésticas-diaristas que atuam na cidade de Fortaleza (Ceará). Ambas as pesquisas demonstram como a PST é um caminho profícuo não apenas para a produção de conhecimento crítico referente ao modo de produção dominante, como também para a valorização dos saberes práticos de trabalhadores que sobrevivem à margem das regulamentações trabalhistas.
Trabalhar para quê ? Trabalhar como ? Relações Solidárias para o enfrentamento da precariedade do trabalho e da vida
Authors: Sato Leny , Andrada Cris Fernández , Esteves Egeu Gómez , Nóbrega Juliana da Silva
Published: July 2024

No Brasil, a desigualdade antiga e persistente, somada à substituição de postos de trabalho regulados por novas formas de trabalho precário, promove implicações à saúde e à subjetividade de trabalhadores que têm que lidar com diversos riscos para a manutenção da vida. O artigo, que analisa quatro investigações empíricas realizadas no marco teórico da Psicologia Social do Trabalho, discute modos pelos quais trabalhadores de segmentos pobres da população enfrentam o trabalho precário e, ao fazê-lo, constroem relações de trabalho e de vida social baseadas em cooperação, ajuda mútua e vínculos comunitários que representam formas de resistência à precarização do trabalho e da vida. Por fim, argumenta pela importância de regulamentar o trabalho associado como forma de garantir direitos trabalhistas.
Alain Savoyant, mediador e desbravador de rotas
Authors: Rogalski Janine
Published: July 2024

Depois de relembrar o “itinerário científico” de Alain Savoyant, destacamos o seu papel como “transmissor” da teoria da atividade de Leontiev. Ele desenvolveu e enriqueceu este instrumento conceitual ao distinguir em particular dois momentos-chave da ação: a elaboração e a assimilação. Ele foi pioneiro na França ao abrir caminhos na análise da dimensão coletiva da atividade de trabalho. Para além destas preocupações, expostas no texto da sua participação no seminário sobre a imagem operativa de Ochanine, Savoyant abordou o problema do lugar da experiência no desenvolvimento da atividade e do saber profissional, e do lugar da simulação na formação e desenvolvimento das competências profissionais. Na conclusão, passamos a palavra a Pierre Pastré e Patrick Mayen, com quem Savoyant debateu amplamente, para concluir sobre questões ainda vivas.

En la conclusión, damos la palabra a Pierre Pastré y Patrick Mayen, con quienes Savoyant ha debatido mucho, para que concluyan sobre cuestiones siempre actuales.
1987: Publicação de “A loucura do trabalho: estudo de psicopatologia do trabalho”, de Christophe Dejours, no Brasil
Authors: Zambroni-de-Souza Paulo César , Araújo Anísio José da Silva , Barros Vanessa Andrade de
Published: July 2024

Em 1987, sete anos após a sua publicação na França, é editada no Brasil a versão do livro inaugural de Christophe Dejours, “Travail, usure mentale: de la psychopathologie à la psychodynamique du travail”. Na ocasião, o Brasil passava por um momento de redemocratização, com a valorização dos direitos sociais, dentre os quais o dos valores sociais do trabalho, fato que fez o livro encontrar um terreno fértil para a sua acolhida. A obra produziu grande impacto ao propor uma maneira de compreender a normalidade e o adoecimento no trabalho em uma perspectiva que não se limitava a modelos causalistas simplistas. Do mesmo modo, o papel defendido no texto sobre o coletivo para o desenvolvimento da saúde e para a realização do próprio trabalho alimentou reflexões que superavam abordagens solipsistas da problemática, servindo de suporte para diversas pesquisas e intervenções na realidade brasileira.
The politics of recognition: ukrainian struggles for support by the United States, 1917-1941
Authors: Foglesong David
Published: July 2024

This article will analyze how Ukrainians and Ukrainian-Americans sought diplomatic recognition of Ukraine by the United States between 1917 and 1941. It will explain why the U.S. government, despite its commitments to the principle of self-determination, did not recognize Ukrainian independence and why it extended diplomatic recognition to the Soviet Union in 1933 despite protests by Ukrainian- Americans about the terrible famine of 1932- 1933. Drawing on new research in the unu- tilized or underutilized papers of leading Ukrainian-Americans, the article will discuss their tactics and examine their impact on both the press and U.S. government officials.
Construire la collaboration sportive franco-soviétique

Il est d’usage d’invoquer la notion de « diplomatie sportive » et d’essentialiser le rôle des États dans les relations internationales sportives, dont une des spécificités est d’être principalement gérées par des organisations privées. À partir des archives de l’ambassade d’URSS à Paris, conservées aux archives du ministère des Affaires étrangères russes, cet article se propose de mettre en évidence le rôle d’interface que peuvent jouer les ambassades dans la construction des échanges sportifs internationaux et dans la mise à l’agenda des activités physiques de loisirs et de performances comme objet de politique internationale dans les relations franco-soviétiques.
Les expulsions de 1947 : une brouille franco-soviétique

Cet article est consacré à l’expulsion par la France, le 25 novembre 1947, de 24 réfugiés russes ayant pris la nationalité soviétique à la suite du décret du Soviet Suprême du 16 juin 1946. Toutes ces personnes, accusées d’« ingérence dans les affaires de la France », arrêtées dans diverses villes françaises et remises aux autorités soviétiques d’occupation en Allemagne, étaient membres d’une association, l’« Union des Citoyens Soviétiques », soupçonnée de se livrer à la propagande pro-soviétique, voire de collaborer avec le NKVD, et donc interdite de fonctionner. Se fondant sur les archives françaises, centrales et locales, l’article s’intéresse plus particulièrement à cette association, sa création, son fonctionnement, la surveillance dont elle fait l’objet et à la logique administrative des autorités françaises dans cette expulsion qui est suivie d’autres dans les années cinquante.
