Basic concepts of the linguoethnological approach to personal identification
Authors:   Donetsk State University, Vyacheslav I. Terkulov
Published: June 2024

The article describes the primordial linguoethnological approach to the basic notion of ethnicity and compares linguoethnic identification with a person’s ethnic self-identification. The definition of the basic concepts of linguoethnology is given: «linguoethnos», «native language» and «nation-al language». The linguoethnos is interpreted as an association of people who have an identical native language. In native languages, the primordial definition is used as a functionally first lan-guage. The boundaries of the national language are determined based on four characteristics: lin-guonim certainty, ethnic attachment, the presence of a literary language, and the presence of an official status. A typology of linguoethnoses is given, represented by a superlinguoethnos, a basic linguoethnos and a sublinguoethnos. For the basic linguoethnos as the basis of linguoethnic divi-sion, isomorphic (basic, transformed and selective) and non-isomorphic (genetic and conjunctur-al) models of the correlation of linguoethnic identity and ethnic self-identification are distin-guished.
Linguistic features of youth subcultures (using the example of emo subculture)
Authors:   «Gymnasium No. 4», Lana A. Khuranova
Published: June 2024

The article examines the linguistic features of various subcultures, which is an urgent problem of modern linguistics. This is because of their wide and rapid spread among young people. A special case of this type of linguistic personality is the emo linguistic personality, which is the object of this study. The study of linguistic material, which is an emic discourse, allows you to cover the intellectual sphere of the personality, the linguistic personality of EMO, characterized by its worldview, worldview, which is based on the emic philosophy of death and immortality. The pur-pose of the article is to identify the linguistic features of the EMO subculture, reflecting the phi-losophy, life values and principles of its representatives. The article summarizes new material on the topic under study, taken from EMO forums, which allows us to identify certain specifics of the subcultural language of EMO kids. Based on the study, several deliberate phonetic, spelling, and grammatical distortions of words have been detected, resulting in the development of occasional words, some of which may be conditionally recognized. An attempt was made to determine the ways of creative expression in the speech of emo subculture members. The examination of EMO forums revealed that aphorisms are often used in the speech activity of representatives of this sub-culture, which may be classified relativistically into groups. It has been shown that language is an important means of representing the philosophy and life beliefs of representatives of the emic subculture, which encourages the free expression of one’s own feelings.

The article examines two phonetic phenomena of English and Kabardino-Circassian spontaneous speech – assimilation of consonants and elimination of consonants and vowels in the flow of speech. In general, the processes occurring in live speech, if they are not known, can turn into a factor that complicates the perceptual assessment of the utterance. This circumstance results in various kinds of difficulties in communication, especially in a situation of casual communication, a characteristic feature of which is reliance on an incomplete communication style. In the course of the study, the works of authoritative Russian and foreign phoneticians have been analyzed, at-tention has drawn to the overload of the concept of assimilation in the presence of terms that can more accurately describe a certain phonetic phenomenon, an attempt is made to systematize the presented data and answer the question of how regular the phenomena of assimilation and elision are: in English spontaneous speech, assimilation often occurs at the junction of morphemes, and consonant elision occurs with a large confluence (clusters) of consonants, vowel elision occurs in an unstressed position; Kabardian spontaneous speech is characterized by regressive assimilation, the elimination of the vowel at the end of the morpheme.
Art criticism discourse in the linguistic space: cognitive structures of consciousness by A.S. Pashaev
Authors:   Chechen State Pedagogical University, Aishat S. Danieva , Hazret Z. Bagirokov ,   Adygea State University
Published: June 2024

The article analyzes the features of the art criticism discourse of the Honored Artist of the Che-chen Republic A. Sh. Pashayev. The goal is to reveal the specifics of the cognitive-semantic struc-tures of the linguistic consciousness of the artist, presenting the national ethnoculture with the help of surreal symbols. The study reveals the features of self-awareness, worldview and the sys-tem of relationships between a creative personality and the outside world, broadcasting in the Chechen artistic space a new direction for the North Caucasus socio-cultural space - surrealism. It should be emphasized that the ethnocultural consciousness of the artist presents the objectively existing linguistic and creative specificity of the Chechen linguistic culture through surreal sym-bols, conveying the axiology of the ethnic group, which increases interest in national semiotics and deep value messages. The work is carried out at the intersection of linguophilosophy, socio-cognitive science, linguoculturology and intercultural communication. As a research task, the au-thors identified an attempt to analyze the social role of the artist in creative activity, determining the aesthetic meaning and significance of art historical practices.
The evolution of repressive policies of the Bolsheviks in 1920–1924 on the example of Kuban-Black Sea region
Authors:   Kuban State University, Maria S. Dirivyankina
Published: June 2024

The change of power in October 1917 in Russia led to an increase in confrontation in society, ex-pressed both in an open military conflict - the Civil War, and in the growth of political radicalism. Any government in relation to its opponents - in this case, counter-revolutionaries, conspirators, rebels - reserves the right to use legal violence, which reflects one of the main functions of the state. The problem of red terror, like white terror, in turn, is at the intersection of the concepts of law and lawlessness, since they were carried out by the state in the form of lynchings and repris-als, which included innocent citizens. The V All-Russian Congress of Soviets ensured the legaliza-tion of the legal policy of the Bolsheviks. The regime of power established in October 1917 passed into the status of legitimate, and the formed state bodies received the right to legally implement all functions available to the state, including receiving a monopoly on violence. The problems of the transition period from war communism to NEP, accompanied by extra-legal methods, mani-fested themselves most clearly in the Cossack south of Soviet Russia, which differed in class, na-tional composition and special land use conditions.
A Abordagem Psicanalítica do Tempo em Laplanche
Authors: Santos Stone Anne , Roberto Rodrigues Belo Fábio
Published: June 2024

No presente artigo, buscamos apresentar e discutir o trabalho de Jean Laplanche sobre a noção de temporalidade propriamente humana. Para isso, temos como foco seus textos dedicados a essa questão, Le temps et l’autre [O tempo e o outro] (1991) e Temporalité et traduction : pour une remise au travail de la philosophie du temps [Temporalidade e tradução: por um retorno ao trabalho da filosofia do tempo] (1989), ambos publicados no livro La révolution copernicienne inachevée, de 1992. O movimento teórico de Laplanche vai, primeiro, no sentido de revisitar a teoria de Freud sobre a temporalidade. A partir desse retorno, Laplanche apresenta suas próprias elaborações para pensar em uma temporalidade própria do ser humano. Com isso, indicamos que a inserção do sujeito em uma temporalidade só é possível por meio da intervenção do outro da situação originária, responsável por instaurar o início dos processos de tradução psíquica. Isso permite o movimento do sujeito no tempo, através da dinâmica dos processos de tradução, destradução e retradução.
Fast Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis through Adaptive Importance Sampling
Authors: Houng Soung Eil , Ceferino Luis
Published: June 2024

Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Analysis (PSHA) traditionally relies on two computationally intensive approaches: (a) Riemann Sum and (b) conventional Monte Carlo (MC) integration. The former requires fine slices across magnitude, distance, and ground motion, and the latter demands extensive synthetic earthquake catalogs. Both approaches become notably resource intensive for low-probability seismic hazards, where achieving a COV of 1% for a 10−4 annual hazard probability may require 108 MC samples. We introduce Adaptive Importance Sampling (AIS) PSHA, a novel framework to approximate optimal importance sampling (IS) distributions and dramatically reduce the number of MC samples to estimate hazards. We evaluate the efficiency and accuracy of our proposed framework using Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER) PSHA benchmarks that cover various seismic sources, including areal, vertical, and dipping faults, as well as combined types. Our approach computes seismic hazard up to 3.7×104 and 7.1×103 times faster than Riemann Sum and traditional MC methods, respectively, maintaining COVs below 1%. We also propose an enhanced approach with a “smart” AIS PSHA variant that leverages the sampling densities from similar ground motion intensities. This variant outperforms even “smart” implementations of Riemann Sum with enhanced grid discretizations by a factor of up to 130. Moreover, we demonstrate theoretically that optimal IS distributions are equivalent to hazard disaggregation distributions. Empirically, we show the approximated optimal IS and the disaggregation distributions are closely alike, e.g., with a Kolmogorov–Smirnov statistic between 0.017 and 0.113. This approach is broadly applicable, especially for PSHA cases requiring extensive logic trees and epistemic uncertainty.
Integrated Neural Circuitry Supporting Emotion Regulation and Decision Making
Authors: Schmidt Helen , Helion Chelsea
Published: June 2024

Recent research in psychology and neuroscience has begun to closely examine the relationship between emotion regulation and decision making. Emotion regulation strategies allow people to change their thoughts and feelings during emotional situations and events. Successful regulation can be particularly important for a variety of decisions made in day-to-day life. This is especially true for decisions involving risk and reward, where highly rewarding and desirable outcomes are often paired with uncertainty in the likelihood of those outcomes. In this chapter, we aim to operationalize both emotion regulation and decision making in the context of recent findings across psychology and neuroscience. We use an everyday, real-world example involving risk and reward to highlight the relationship between these processes behaviorally and neurocognitively. After presenting a framework, we layer in relevant findings in cognitive neuroscience to explore how the human brain supports these processes, both individually and in an integrated capacity. Finally, we highlight future research implications and open questions in the space.

Neurotyczność, miłość a sukces reprodukcyjny
Authors: Kacper
Published: July 2024

Miłość i neurotyczność dwa czynniki mające znaczny wpływ na jakość naszego związku i życia. Bazą mojego badania będzie sprawdzenie wpływu miłości na liczbę dzieci wśród Polaków, uwzględniając dodatkowy czynnik, neurotyczność. W 2017 roku zostało przeprowadzone badanie wykazujące wpływ miłości na sukces reprodukcyjny wśród plemienia Hadza z Tanzanii (Sorokowski i in., 2017). Moje badanie miało na celu sprawdzenie tego czynnika na sukces reprodukcyjny wśród Polaków, uwzględniając dodatkowo neurotyczność. Zacząłem od zebrania danych za pomocą ankiety internetowej, korzystając z Kwestionariusza Miłości Sternberga i Inwentarza osobowości NEO-FFI, wykorzystując tylko pytania do neurotyczności. Ankieta została wypełniona przez 55 osób. Wyniki wykazały korelacje pomiędzy miłością, neurotycznością a sukcesem reprodukcyjnym. Neurotyczność wykazała istotność statystyczną, pomiędzy zmiennymi. Świadczy to o dużym wpływie neurotyczności na sukces reprodukcyjny. Badania wykazały, że wzrost neurotyczności prowadzi do zmniejszenia szansy na sukces reprodukcji.
Models of Human Probability Judgment Errors
Authors: Huang Jiaqi Adam , Busemeyer Jerome R
Published: June 2024

One of cognitive science's core challenges is reconciling the success of probabilistic models in explaining human cognition with the observed fallacies in human probability judgments. This review delves into models that address this discrepancy, shedding light on probabilistic fallacies. It encompasses earlier accounts like heuristics and averaging models, as well as contemporary, comprehensive models like quantum probability, the "Probability Plus Noise" model, and the Bayesian Sampler. The review concludes by introducing the most recent accounts that integrate probability judgments with choice and response time, and highlighting ongoing challenges in the field.

Published: July 2024

College students are experiencing a significant mental health crisis, with rising rates of psychological distress. To help understand this trend, the present study examines recursive relationships in the classroom between perceived mindset beliefs—i.e., whether students perceive others in their classroom to view intelligence as malleable or fixed—and psychological distress. Across three time points, 288 undergraduates taking a physics course completed measures of perceived classroom mindset and psychological distress. Random intercept cross-lagged panel analyses, which controlled for demographic factors and students’ own mindset beliefs, revealed that perceiving the classroom culture as more fixed-minded early in the semester was associated with increased psychological distress later. Likewise, increased psychological distress early in the semester was associated with perceiving the classroom culture to be more fixed-minded later. These findings suggest that perceived mindset and distress are mutually reinforcing, highlighting the importance of addressing both in interventions aimed at alleviating student distress.
The need for human data when analysing the human-likeness of syntactic representations in neural language models: The case of English wh-island constraints
Authors: Suijkerbuijk Michelle , Shapiro Naomi Tachikawa , de Swart Peter , Frank Stefan L.
Published: July 2024

Neural language models (NLMs) have frequently been tested on their ability to model grammatical phenomena in a "human-like'' way, but their behavior is often not compared to actual human data, making it unclear whether their behavior is actually human-like. An example of this can be seen with long distance filler-gap dependencies and their island constraints: Wilcox et al. (2018) devised a method to directly test whether NLMs can model these phenomena in a human-like way, and this method is accompanied by specific predictions about how models should perform. These predictions are, however, not all supported by experimental research with human participants, making it difficult to conclude that the NLMs can model these phenomena comparably to humans. Consequently, in the current study, we investigated whether the predictions made by Wilcox et al. (2018) are supported by human data by testing both a Long Short-Term Memory language model and human participants in English with the method devised by Wilcox et al. (2018), and comparing their results. The results showed that the model might exhibit "human-like'' behavior according to the predictions of Wilcox et al. (2018), but this behavior was not fully comparable to that of humans. Therefore, this study not only shows that it is important to obtain human data to validate the predictions of this specific method, but also that predictions of "human-like'' behavior for NLMs on other grammatical phenomena should always be grounded in data from human experiments.
Conscious artificial intelligence and biological naturalism
Authors: Seth Anil
Published: June 2024

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, it is natural to ask whether AI systems can be not only intelligent, but also conscious. I consider why people might think AI could develop consciousness, identifying some biases that lead us astray. I ask what it would take for conscious AI to be a realistic prospect, challenging the assumption that computation provides a sufficient basis for consciousness. I’ll instead make the case that consciousness depends on our nature as living organisms – a form of biological naturalism. I lay out a range of scenarios for conscious AI, concluding that real artificial consciousness is unlikely along current trajectories, but becomes more plausible as AI becomes more brain-like and/or life-like. I finish by exploring ethical considerations arising from AI that either is, or convincingly appears to be, conscious. If we sell our minds too cheaply to our machine creations, we not only overestimate them – we underestimate our selves.
Preliminary insights into the use of pottery and culinary practices at Guijiabao site in southwest China
Authors: Wang Li-Ying , Lin kuei-chen , Zhou Zhiqing
Published: June 2024

Mixed crops of millet and rice are thought to have been introduced to southwest China in the Neolithic period. Despite the recovery of both millet and rice grains, the varying proportions observed across the area underscore the complexity of the process of agricultural dispersal. Further investigation is needed to understand how new crops were integrated into southwest China, characterized by diverse environmental conditions and landscapes. This study explores pottery use in southwest Sichuan through a preliminary analysis of lipid residues in pottery from the Guijiabao site using organic geochemical analyses. The site, situated in the middle Hengduan mountain ranges, presents well-preserved stratigraphic records spanning from the Neolithic to the historical period, providing valuable insights into local subsistence practices in a highland environment. The results reveal that broomcorn millet was processed in a pot, with the majority of potsherds showing mixed sources including ruminant adipose fats. This suggests that animals might have played an important role in the local diet, alongside the consumption of millet. These culinary practices also indicate a subsistence strategy relying on hunting to a certain degree in the high-altitude region of southwest China, even after the introduction of crops.
Assessment of the resistance of wild grasses in the northwestern region of the Russian Arctic to chloride salinization
Authors: Taskina K. B. , Kaznina N. M.
Published: July 2024

Wild grasses are prevalent across various types of vegetation, playing a significant role in both natural ecosystems and human economic endeavors. The potential of using grasses to restore areas affected by tidal erosion and saline soils has not been fully investigated. A study was conducted to examine the impact of different levels of NaCl salinity (ranging from 20 to 200 mM) on seed germination and early growth of Agrostis capillaris L., Deschampsia cespitosa (L.) P. Beauv., Phalaris arundinacea L., and Phleum pratense L. These plants are commonly found in the Arctic region within the Belomorsky district of the Republic of Karelia. Through research, a direct connection was discovered between the germination of seeds and the growth of seedlings based on the salt levels in the root environment and the type of grass species present. In summary, all species successfully germinated at NaCl concentrations of 20–80 mM. However, germination rates decreased at 100 and 200 mM in most cases. When exposed to NaCl concentrations of 60 mM and higher, the growth of root and shoot in the grasses was slowed down to some extent (depending on the species), but not completely inhibited. Due to the resilience of wild grasses to cold temperatures, it is proposed that they could be used in the phytoremediation of Arctic areas with a salinity level of up to 100 mM (0.6 % salinity). An analysis of the data resulted in a ranking of grass species based on their salt resistance: P. pratense ˃A. capillaris ˃P. arundinacea ˃D. cespitosa.

Published: June 2024

This article explores the practice of symbolization, investigating how flags acquire specific characteristics that enable their use as symbols. The main objective of this study is to describe the Macan Ali flag, with a particular focus on its connection to mysticism and Islam within the context of Javanese culture, specifically in Cirebon. This study reveals that the Macan Ali, when viewed as a symbol, can be interpreted as a concept that manifests as an entity embodying logical-analytical qualities. A comprehensive understanding of the philosophy of symbols allows for the harmonious integration of literal and figurative meanings within the Macan Ali symbol. Furthermore, it plays a pivotal role in harmonizing the two distinct concepts of Javanese mysticism and Islam. This synthesis underscores the multifaceted nature of symbols and their capacity to bridge diverse cultural and religious paradigms.

Published: June 2024

Coexistence is one of the concepts that has received significant attention in light of contemporary societal changes to achieve the stability of societies and the coexistence of its members in harmony and peace, in addition to its importance at the level of relations between countries. From these starting points, this research aims, through the use of the descriptive analytical method, to shed light on literary texts from the contemporary era that call for coexistence and seek to clarify the elements that unite people and do not separate them based on race or sect. The research tries to answer the following questions: What is the concept of coexistence? What are the images of coexistence in contemporary Arabic poetry? Who are the most important poets who have employed the values of coexistence in their literary works? The first chapter deals with coexistence, its foundations, principles, components, and fruits. The second chapter deals with the patterns of coexistence in contemporary Arabic poetry. It is worth noting that a follower of the texts of contemporary Arabic literature sees the value of coexistence present in various forms and images presented by writers in a way that agrees with their creativity and artistic vision, directly or implicitly. Literary texts play a significant role in establishing human concepts to ensure the establishment of the language of fruitful dialogue and the achievement of cultural and civilizational coexistence between human societies.

Finding the shortest path sometimes makes most people confused in choosing a path, especially if there are many paths that must be taken to reach one destination. Tracing various routes from Cikampek to Purwokerto is a challenge, with the risk of spending excessive time and money. To solve this problem, this research uses the Ant Colony Algorithm to determine the most efficient path. One of the problems that often arises is that the Cikampek area has 3 routes that can be used to reach Purwokerto, namely the Cikampek - Indramayu (Patrol), Cikampek - Subang, and Cikampek - Bandung routes. The purpose of determining the shortest path is to provide the shortest path solution to users so that they can reach their destination faster and save time and costs. In this study, we use Ant Algorithm because the route from Cikampek to Purwokerto depends on many road factors and other conditions that could change from time to time. For example, traffic congestion and road repairs are major factors. The ant algorithm has strong customization capabilities to determine the shortest path based on the pheromone trails left by ants during exploration. This means that the ant algorithm can work optimally even if there are many factors in road conditions. In addition, the ant algorithm has the ability to handle problems with a large number of nodes, so it can explore various possibilities efficiently. The ant algorithm is an appropriate choice for finding the shortest path in a journey involving complex and diverse routes. There are six steps required to complete the ant algorithm. The first step is initialization, the second step is path selection, and the third step is setting the ant trail and communication between the ants hit by the trail in path selection. The fourth step is to look for visibility, the fifth step is to stop the criterion until it reaches a certain condition, and the last step is to determine the path by calculating probabilities. The results of this study indicate that the ant algorithm can be used to determine the shortest path which is then displayed. This research aims to assist the community in making decisions and determining the location of the city that must be passed. This study took 8 location points with starting point A and destination point H. Based on the results of the discussion it can be concluded that the shortest route from Cikampek to Purwokerto is with 3 routes, namely first (A à D à E à F à H) with a distance of 355 KM, second (A à D à G à F à H) with a distance of 431 KM and the third (A à D à E àH) with a distance of 317 KM.

Published: June 2024

Increasingly advanced technological developments force business people to be adaptive, especially when there is an increase in production. The KCM division, one of the PT XYZ business units operating in the media sector, experienced increased production. This causes the production equipment to be borrowed irregularly, and information on the warehouse of production equipment is also difficult to find. The Warehouse Information System is the solution to this problem. This research aims to create a warehousing information system that records all information on borrowing production equipment, fulfills warehousing information needs, and solves several existing warehousing problems. This research method is an experimental one-shot case study designed with the Framework for the Applications of System Thinking (FAST) and using simple, easily accessible, and free tools, namely Google Spreadsheet and Javascript coding. The results of this research are that the KCM division's warehousing information system that has been created has been tested to be 100% capable of meeting information needs for borrowing production equipment and resolving existing warehousing problems based on system tests that have been carried out. It is recommended that this system be further developed in future research to overcome minor errors in coding.

Along with the development of the digital era and pandemic conditions have increased the need for systems capable of working remotely. This motivated the researchers to conduct observations at the Bethany Tower of Christ Church. Based on observations and interviews that have been conducted with church pastors and deacons, it is found that the system already owned by the church has a lack of features, one of which is the feature of submitting requests to the church. In addition, there is also a need to update features related to adding devotionals, news, and posts to make it more practical and efficient. The development of this system uses the Waterfall method in which in the process the researcher first conducts direct observation and research at the Bethany Tower of Christ Church followed by analyzing the needs of the church and congregation which results in the design of a congregation management system. As for after the design is done, the system implementation is carried out. After that, researchers conducted testing of system maintenance. Based on the overall results obtained from the survey of respondents' assessment of the website, an average assessment of 87.3% was obtained, indicating that the website is feasible and has impressive respondent satisfaction. Researchers still find shortcomings in the system created, namely the lack of some features and the presence of bugs that need to be fixed. However, researchers still hope that the designed system can be useful for congregations and churches and can continue to be developed and maintained so that the system can be better.

The purpose of this study is to implement the K-Means Clustering method to determine the patterns of productive oil palm production based on their blocks at Pt Arta Prigel. The research is motivated by issues within the oil palm blocks, such as the absence of productive block summaries, insufficient plantation land analysis, and erroneous decision-making. The development method utilizes CRISP-DM, with data spanning 2 years from October 2021 to October 2023. From the 1275 production records, after cleaning, 1015 records remain. Filtering the initial 51 blocks results in 37 blocks for the years 2021 and 2022, and 46 blocks for the year 2023. After clustering, the production outcomes for the year 2021 are as follows: cluster_0 has 34 blocks, cluster_1 has 10 blocks. For the year 2022, cluster_0 has 24 blocks, cluster_1 has 37 blocks. In the year 2023, cluster_0 has 44 blocks, cluster_1 has 27 blocks. The testing method employs the silhouette coefficient, and the silhouette score testing results indicate the formation of 2 clusters (K=2) with a value of 0.62, the results obtained from testing with 2 clusters indicate that the formed clusters are accurate. The findings of this study include patterns, graphs, and production tables generated using the K-Means Clustering method at Pt Arta Prigel.

Keyword extraction and topic modeling in the analysis of Gojek user reviews in Indonesian are very important. By understanding user preferences and needs through keyword extraction, as well as grouping user reviews into different topics through topic modeling, stakeholders can use the information to further improve services. This research uses TF-IDF and LDA approaches to analyze text data from Gojek user reviews and feedback. The data spans from Nov 5, 2021, to Jan 2, 2024, totaling 225,002 rows. Each row includes username, content, time, and app version. The focus is on content reviews. The average length is 8 words, with a maximum of 104 and a minimum of a few words. The variability indicates a non-normal distribution. Preprocessing is conducted to maintain topic analysis accuracy. The TF-IDF method is used to extract relevant keywords, while the LDA approach is used to model the topics in user reviews. The topic analysis reveals patterns in Gojek user reviews. The first topic discusses experience, services, and affordable pricing. The second emphasizes app usability and benefits. The third relates to promos, discounts, and vouchers. The fourth reflects positive evaluations of service quality. However, the fifth topic highlights high costs and app issues. The sixth underscores overall user satisfaction and service convenience. Testing on the topic model yielded a coherence level of 0.509, indicating that the model's topics demonstrate a good level of consistency in finding relevant topics from Gojek user review data. The use of a combination of TF-IDF and LDA in Indonesian text analysis, particularly in the context of Gojek user reviews, is an important step in enhancing understanding and utilization of text data to improve overall user experience.
Implementation of Load Balancing With PCC Method And Failover Using Mikrotik At PT. Maxpower Indonesia
Authors: Putra Andityo , Anton Anton
Published: June 2024

In connecting to a single Internet Service Provider (ISP), one must consider the possibility of network congestion due to high traffic as well as potential disruptions in the internet connection. Load Balancing Per Connection Classifier (PCC) is a method used in combining two ISP services. In supporting day-to-day operational activities, a reliable internet connection is crucial for any company. Therefore, it is also necessary to have an internet connection that remains standby without interruption when there are disruptions in the ISP. This paper discusses the merging of two internet services and the addition of failover techniques. In the first test, a load test was carried out with 1 ISP service. The second test was carried out using two ISP services with the PCC method in high internet traffic conditions. By using the ISP and PCC method, traffic can be reduced and charged to both ISPs so that the network is not burdened by just one ISP. In the second test, it can also be proven that the use of two ISP services with failover techniques is much better when a problem occurs at one of the ISPs, thereby reducing the company's operational impact.

Published: June 2024

Pathogenic microorganisms are becoming more and more resistant to antimicrobial agents. So the synthesis of new antimicrobial agents is very important. In this work, new 5-fluoroisatin-chalcone conjugates 5(a–g) were synthesized based on previous research that showed the modifications of the isatin moiety led to the synthesis of many derivatives that have antimicrobial activity. 4-aminoacetophenone reacts with 5-fluoroisatin to form Schiff base (3), which in turn reacts with two different groups of aromatic (carbocyclic and heterocyclic) aldehydes 4(a–g) separately to form the final compounds 5(a–g). Proton-nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR) and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were used to confirm the chemical structures of the newly prepared compounds. Finally, the final compounds, 5-fluoroisatin-chalcone conjugates 5(a–g), were screened for their antimicrobial activities and compared with three different references: vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, and fluconazole. They appeared to be good candidates as antibacterial agents against E. coli and S. aureus as well as antifungal agents against C. albicans. In general and for comparison, the antifungal activity of the final compounds 5(a–g) was more potent than their antibacterial activity. Finally, for the antimicrobial activity, the most active compound of these series was compound 5e, while compound 5g was the least active one.

Abstract
Background: Bilothorax, or cholethorax, is a rare cause of exudative pleural effusion characterized by the presence of bile in the pleural space. Recognizing this condition is essential to prevent severe complications such as empyema and acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Case: This report presents a 70-year-old male patient who developed right-sided bilothorax following multiple biliary tract interventions. The patient presented with symptoms of jaundice, fever, and abdominal pain. Clinical and radiological evaluations revealed right-sided pleural effusion, and thoracentesis yielded dark yellow-green fluid. The diagnosis of bilothorax was confirmed by a pleural fluid/serum total bilirubin ratio >1.0. Early intervention was performed using a cystofix to drain the pleural fluid. However, despite all interventions, the sepsis condition could not be controlled, and the patient unfortunately passed away.
Discussion: Bilothorax is generally associated with hepatobiliary procedures and is mostly observed on the right side due to anatomical proximity. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, especially in patients with relevant clinical histories and characteristic pleural fluid appearance. Rapid thoracentesis and pleural fluid analysis are crucial for diagnosis. Treatment typically involves pleural drainage and early administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Conclusion: Bilothorax is a life-threatening condition requiring urgent diagnosis and intervention. This case highlights the importance of recognizing this rare condition and the necessity for early aggressive management in patients with a history of hepatobiliary procedures.
