O forame supratroclear é uma variação anatômica do osso úmero que comunica a fossa do olecrano com a fossa coronoide. Considerando o escasso número de dados desta variação na população brasileira, haja vista que seus aspectos morfológicos e morfométricos podem variar dependendo do grupo étnico, o presente estudo visou investigar a morfologia e frequência do forame supratroclear em ossos humanos brasileiros e sua associação com a antimeria, bem como descrever suas repercussões clínico-cirúrgicas. Trata-se de um estudo do tipo transversal, observacional e prospectivo, com amostragem do tipo não probabilístico por conveniência, o qual analisou 51 úmeros humanos de um acervo pertencente a uma instituição de ensino superior. Foi observado que 21,9% dos úmeros apresentaram o forame supratroclear, sendo a forma oval a mais predominante. Apesar de ter sido mais frequente no lado esquerdo, não foi observada associação estatística significante entre a presença do forame supratroclear e a antimeria.

Las accesiones de P. almum (2n = 4x = 24), P. ionanthum, P. malacophyllum, P. notatum var. notatum, P. nicorae y P. plicatulum fueron todas tetraploides (2n = 4x = 40), en cambio se encontró ploidía pentaploide en P. arundinellum (2n = 5x = 50) y diploide en P. simplex (2n = 2x = 20).
The lust of the flesh: a case study of a self-admitted pornoholic
Authors: D. Aguelo Kenneth , Mistula Christian
Published: December 2023

This paper is a case study of a self-described pornoholic, or an individual who consistently watches an excessive amount of pornographic content. Pornographic material is dangerous and unlawful because it is forbidden from both a moral and religious perspective. One of the most widely circulated types of sexual exploitation is pornography. Enforcement agencies and internet-preventing technologies do not appear to provide an all-encompassing fix with regard to pornographic problems, though. The objective of this study was to provide an overview of the perceptions, motivations, implications, and actions taken to fight and combat pornography. Throughout this study, there was only one participant, and Coliazzi's approach was used to analyze the data. These themes were indicated by the results: sexually preoccupied and normalcy for his perceptions; happiness, boredom, and habituation for his motivations; sexual imitation and sexual attraction for his implications; and self-control, guilt, and avoidance for his actions to fight pornography. Even though his daily existence continues to be intertwined with his dependency on pornography, and he finds it challenging to refrain from seeing it, he nonetheless requires our empathy and comprehension throughout this disorganized, tempting environment.

Authors: Luna-Zapién Edén A. , Zegbe-Dominguez Jorge A. , Meza-Velázquez Jorge Armando
Published: December 2023

The avocado is a highly perishable fruit, leading to significant potential waste and loss in some links of the agri-food chain, with negative environmental and economic impacts. This study explored the influence of an alginate and mucilage-based edible coating on some physical attributes, cold storage, and consumer acceptance of avocado halves coated at the ready-to-eat stage. Two lots of avocado halves were formed. One was treated with an edible coating formulated from alginate and mucilage; the other was uncoated. Uncoated and coated avocado halves were cold-stored at 4 ± 1 °C and 95% relative humidity for 12 d. The fruit mass loss (FML), fresh firmness (FF), and some color parameters were measured every other day. The experiment was conducted in a completely random design with three replicates at each sampling date. On the sixth day, a sensory study was performed with 30 untrained panelists who were frequent avocado eaters. The coated avocado halves were brighter, redder, and yellower during the experimental period than uncoated avocado halves. A significant color differences (?E*) were found between coated and uncoated avocado halves. At the end of the experiment, the coated samples had the lowest FML and FF and the greatest consumer acceptance. Therefore, the edible coating presented here is a feasible technology for minimally-processed avocado halves and for high-latitude markets, where this fruit is scarce.

Authors: Wati Ratna , Tri Putranto Wahyu
Published: December 2023

This article aims to explain the implementation of bureaucratic democratization in Metro City, especially in public information disclosure services. The background to this writing is that the implementation of public information disclosure is still low in accordance with the mandate of Law Number 14 of 2008 at the Regional Government level. One of them is the Metro City Government which only issued a guardian in 2016 which was previously required 2 years after it was stipulated, namely in 2010. This research was conducted using a mixed method by simultaneously carrying out qualitative methods and quantitative methods with a focus on understanding the apparatus, provision of facilities, and commitment of the Guardian. Metro City in openness of public information. The research used interviews, survey, observation, and document study methods to collect data. This research finds that bureaucratic democratization in public information disclosure services in the Metro City government is already underway, although not yet optimal. This is because the knowledge and understanding of the bureaucratic apparatus still do not fully understand Law Number 14 of 2008 and the contents contained in it. The provision of public services in the form of the formation of PPIDs in each Regional Apparatus Organization (OPD) has still not reached 50%, namely only 36%, and the Metro Mayor's commitment is not yet complete, this is indicated by the slow issuance of Perwali and the low trust of OPD representation in this commitment.

Authors: Gunawan Berry , Gunadi Ariawan
Published: December 2023

The provisions and implementation of BJR in Indonesia and the United States need to be studied because the latest Company Laws of both countries have codified the principles of BJR generated by court practice so far where BJR elements are regulated imitatively in the Company Law and accompanied by an explanation of the concept of the core elements of BJR. The formulation of the problems in writing this journal are 1) How are the regulations governing the application of the business judgment rule in Indonesia and the United States? 2) how is the application of the business judgment rule principle as a legal protection effort against directors in Indonesia and the United States? The research method used in this journal is normative juridical research with qualitative data analysis. The results showed that 1) regulations governing the application of the business judgment rule in Indonesia are regulated in Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning limited liability companies and OJK Regulation Number 33 / PJOK.04 / 2014 related to BJR which provides protection for directors and commissioners in carrying out their duties are sufficient. Meanwhile, regulations governing the application of the business judgment rule in the United States are regulated in the MBCA 2016. 2) The application of the business judgment rule principle as an effort to protect the law against directors in Indonesia can be applied to protect directors from legal liability as long as there are no elements of fraud, conflict of interest, unlawful acts and intentional misconduct as in the case of Decision Number 121 K/Pid.Sus/2020. Meanwhile, the application of the business judgment rule principle as an effort to protect the law against directors in the United States in accordance with the scope of the directors' responsibilities as in the Disney dispute case, Delaware Supreme Court.

The phenomenon of criminal law enforcement today is increasingly losing its direction and is even considered to have reached its lowest point, the justice-seeking community complains about the process of investigating criminal acts (general) which is a convoluted process, protracted and even has no end to its resolution, this situation clearly does not provide legal certainty, justice and benefits in law enforcement, moreover there will be violations of the rights of suspects, one of the causes of this situation is the absence of a provision for the time limit of investigation (vacuum of norms). The research method used in this study is to use the type of Normative legal research with the approach used in this study is a statute approach and a conceptual approach, with the specification of the research is descriptive analytical, while the technique of collecting legal materials used in this study is to use document studies. i.e. documents obtained from the Jatanras Unit of the Source Police Station. Based on the results of the study, it shows that there are no provisions governing the time limit for investigation of suspects from the start of investigation to the transfer of cases to trial, so the status of suspects depends on the investigation process. The absence of a time limit in determining suspects causes legal uncertainty guaranteed in Articles 28D and 281 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution, therefore in the Draft Criminal Procedure Code there is a time limit for investigation as stipulated in article 48 of the Criminal Procedure Bill. Paragraph (1) and Paragraph (3).

Authors: Oliveira Elton Filipe Pinheiro de , Melo Neto Antônio Quaresma de , Mascarenhas Márcio Dênis Medeiros , S Frota Karoline de Macêdo Gonçalve , Rodrigues Malvina Thais Pacheco
Published: December 2023

Introdução: A hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) é um problema de saúde pública, com elevada prevalência em âmbito mundial. Inúmeros fatores, tais como idade, sexo, raça/cor, escolaridade, renda, acesso aos serviços de saúde e hábitos de vida são descritos como influenciadores da prevalência da HAS. A maioria deles é considerada modificável e controlável pela adoção de um estilo de vida saudável. Objetivo: Estimar a prevalência de HAS e fatores associados em adultos e idosos residentes em Teresina, Piauí. Métodos: Estudo transversal, de base populacional, com 898 adultos e idosos. A amostragem foi probabilística complexa por conglomerados. O desfecho foi o diagnóstico autorreferido de HAS. Realizou-se análise hierarquizada em três blocos (características sociodemográficas, acompanhamento da saúde e estilo de vida) com cálculo de razão de prevalência (RP) e intervalos de confiança de 95% (IC95%) por regressão múltipla de Poisson. Resultados: A prevalência geral da HAS autorreferida foi de 27,9% e aumentou com a progressão da faixa etária. No modelo final, os fatores associados à HAS autorreferida foram: idade≥60 anos (RP=8,08; IC95% 3,72–17,52), sem escolaridade (RP=1,73; IC95% 1,18–2,54), última aferição da PA<6 meses (RP=2,64; IC95% 1,56–4,47), consumo regular de sal (RP=0,70; IC95% 0,52–0,93), circunferência da cintura alterada (RP=1,56; IC95% 1,29–1,90) e pressão arterial alterada (RP=1,64; IC95% 1,35–2,01). Conclusões: A prevalência da HAS autorreferida foi mais alta comparada com diferentes estudos nacionais e internacionais realizados nos últimos anos, com crescimento linear associado à progressão da faixa etária. Os fatores associados identificados refletem os grupos vulneráveis para HAS já conhecidos e outros podem ser resultados do crescimento da prevalência entre outras camadas sociais de maior renda. Diante da elevada prevalência da HAS em Teresina, da sua alta carga de morbimortalidade e de ser a principal causa evitável de morte prematura, torna-se necessário a intensificação das ações de promoção de saúde, prevenção do agravo e monitoramento do tratamento da HAS no município.

Published: December 2023

Wheat is one of humanity’s leading food crops, and ensuring high, sustainable yields is the key to food security. The yield of the crop depends on the agrophytocenosis conditions, including meteorological factors, the number of weeds, pathogens and pests, which change from year to year. Crop yield forecasts are becoming necessary to make informed crop management decisions. The paper presents the results of the multiple regression analysis of actual field data in the system of integrated protection of winter wheat crops in the conditions of the Northern Steppe zone of Ukraine. The predictive value of the models that linked yield and gluten content in grain with the number of pathogens and pests was reduced due to the statistical insignificance of correlations between indicators. In order to overcome the shortcomings of modeling, it is probably necessary to use a more reliable algorithm and a larger sample of data. Regression models reflecting the correlation of yield and gluten content in grain with relative air humidity during the phase of milky ripeness of winter wheat grain showed predictive value (R2 = 91.9–99.7%) and made it possible to determine the necessary limits of the meteorological parameter to achieve high quantitative and qualitative yield indicators.

Published: December 2023

Understanding smallholder farmers’ perceptions of climate change, technology, association involvement, and government policy, including its indicators, impacts, and impediments, is critical for promoting sustainable agriculture. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the most significant social and environmental factors restricting the agricultural development of small farmers in terms of credit facilities and government subsidies. The agriculture area of Colon (Ecuador) was selected for a stakeholder analysis to identify and assess the priority, needs, goals and requirements of key people regarding agriculture and environmental management. Besides, a logistic regression model was applied to estimate the effect of social and environmental independent variables on credit facilities and government benefits. According to results, smallholder farmers face many challenges, but targeted policy development, supporting the perception of climate change, and enhancing access to markets can help them overcome these obstacles.
CSST-Net: Channel Split Spatiotemporal Network for Human Action Recognition
Authors: Zhou Xuan , Ma Jixiang , Yi Jianping
Published: December 2023

Temporal reasoning is crucial for action recognition tasks. The previous works use 3D CNNs to jointly capture spatiotemporal information, but it causes a lot of computational costs as well. To improve the above problems, we propose a general channel split spatiotemporal network (CSST-Net) to achieve effective spatiotemporal feature representation learning. The CSST module consists of the grouped spatiotemporal modeling (GSTM) module and the parameter-free feature fusion (PFFF) module. The GSTM module decomposes features into spatial and temporal parts along the channel dimension in parallel, which focuses on spatial and temporal clues respectively. Meanwhile, we utilize the combination of group-wise convolution and point-wise convolution to reduce the number of parameters in the temporal branch, thus alleviating the overfitting of 3D CNNs. Furthermore, for the problem of spatiotemporal feature fusion, the PFFF module performs the recalibration and fusion of spatial and temporal features by a soft attention mechanism, without introducing extra parameters, thus ensuring the correct network information flow effectively. Finally, extensive experiments on three benchmark databases (Sth-Sth V1, Sth-Sth V2, and Jester) indicate that the proposed CSST-Net can achieve competitive performance compared to existing methods, and significantly reduces the number of parameters and FLOPs of 3D CNNs baseline.
CAugment: An Approach to Diversifying Dataset by Combining Image Processing Operations
Authors: Gao Wuliang
Published: December 2023

In deep learning, model quality is extremely important. Consequently, the quality and the sufficiency of the datasets for training models have attracted considerable attention from both industry and academia. Automatic data augmentation, which provides a means of using image processing operators to generate data from existing datasets, is quite effective in searching for mutants of the images and expanding the training datasets. However, existing automatic data augmentation techniques often fail to fully exploit the potential of the data, failing to balance the search efficiency and the model accuracy. This paper presents CAugment, a novel approach to diversifying image datasets by combining image processing operators. Given a training image dataset, CAugment is composed of: 1) the three-level evolutionary algorithm (TLEA) that employs three levels of atomic operations for augmenting the dataset and an adaptive strategy for decreasing granularity and 2) a design that uses the three-dimensional evaluation method (TDEM) and a dHash algorithm to measure the diversity of the dataset. The search space can be expanded, which further improves model accuracy during training. We use CAugment to augment the CIFAR-10/100 and SVHN datasets and use the augmented datasets to train the WideResNet and Shake-Shake models. Our results show that the amount of data increases linearly along with the training epochs; in addition, the models trained by the CAugment-augmented datasets outperform those trained by the datasets augmented by the other techniques by up to 17.9% in accuracy on the SVHN dataset.
Weight Coefficient Based Adaptive Federated Learning for Vehicular Data Transmission
Authors: Xie Hui
Published: December 2023

With the ever-increasing amount of vehicle data being generated, the collection and transmission of this data-to-data processing centers is consuming significant amounts of communication resources. The traditional method of compressing and transmitting the vehicle data is not effective in addressing the issue of efficient utilization of this data. In order to overcome this challenge, we propose an adaptive federated learning approach that avoids the need for transmitting data per vehicle. Our approach leverages the vehicle as a distributed training device node and enables the training of vehicle data using the vehicle's own computing power, thereby eliminating the need to transmit the data over the network. To further enhance the efficiency of the federated learning aggregation calculation, we introduce the information entropy function and cosine similarity calculation. By computing the similarity between the model and the benchmark model, we are able to give a new round of model aggregation calculation weight. Finally, we validate the proposed algorithm using the actual MNIST dataset, demonstrating its high effectiveness.
Neologisms in the media coverage of the Russia-Ukraine war in the context of information warfare
Authors: Kramar Natalie
Published: December 2023

The article provides a comprehensive account of English words and phrases that gained media prominence during the first 10 months of the Russia-Ukraine war. Three categories of lexical units were identified: lexical neologisms (new coinages), such as sanctionista, war fatigue, Zelensky-washing, etc.; semantic neologisms – words and phrases that had existed prior to the war, but acquired new meanings due to it – such as deputinization, Russian exodus, etc.; units that had been used occasionally and inconsistently up to 2022, but gained new relevance in light of the war – such as ruscism, stalinization, digital iron curtain, etc. Some of the units under study were first coined in the Ukrainian or Russian languages and subsequently spread to other languages (missile terrorism, ruscism), while others are limited to English only and have no equivalents in either Ukrainian or Russian (sanctionista, archivocide). Focusing on news media and social media discourse on the Russia-Ukraine war, we trace the etymology of these words and phrases, their recurrence and context of use, as well as the pragmatic value they have in shaping public stance on the war in the West. We also take into consideration humorous occasionalisms, memes and monikers that trended on social media during this period of the war, providing a way of tension release while also contributing to Ukrainian information warfare and fundraising purposes. The study is instrumental in driving our understanding of the mechanisms of media framing of emotionally loaded and potentially dividing political issues.
A comparative study on effects of controlled English on the translatability of Technical texts from English to Turkish
Authors: Acar Alpaslan
Published: December 2023

Controlled language, as a subset of natural language, refers to the restricted or standardised use of lexicon, grammar and style. It has been hypothesised that the use of controlled language makes technical texts more translatable and therefore more understandable. This paper reports the results of an experimental study designed to test this hypothesis. The results showed that controlled technical language improved the comprehensibility and translatability of technical documentation in terms of accuracy, style and text quality. The study suggests that international companies should employ technical writers and translators who prioritise the language and extralinguistic norms of the target audience, rather than blindly adhering to the source text.
Machine metaphors in 2020 USA electioneering campaign: a cognitive aspect
Authors: Lapka Olha
Published: December 2023

The conceptual metaphor is a major persuasive tool in political discourse. Therefore, the aim of the research is to analyze the realization of van Dijk’s Ideological Square strategies with the help of machine conceptual metaphors used by the presidential candidates during the 2020 electioneering campaign. The data of the research comprise 99 political speeches delivered by Donald Trump and Joe Biden at rallies. Consequently, the following methods of linguistic analysis were used: a Critical Discourse Analysis, a Conceptual Metaphor Analysis in the form of the method of the reconstruction of conceptual mappings, a comparative method, a contextual analysis, and statistical methods. As a result, the analysis demonstrated that conceptual metaphors, which were identified in the corpus, play an important role in realizing the Ideological Square strategies with persuasive goals. Apart from that, it was established that the conceptual metaphor ECONOMY IS A MACHINE is predominant in Donald Trump’s and Joe Biden's discourses. In addition, the data analysis showed that the majority of metaphors were used to highlight the candidate’s own positive sides while exaggerating his opponent’s disadvantages.

Published: December 2023

Under the backdrop of the robust growth of the global economy, the water transport industry is experiencing rapid development, resulting in an increase in ship collisions and a critical water traffic safety situation. This study uses text mining techniques to gather a corpus of data. The corpus includes human factors, ship factors, natural environmental factors, and management factors, which are used as target data to obtain a high-dimensional sparse original feature vector space set comprising eigenvalues and eigenvalue weight attributes. Chi-square statistics are utilised to reduce dimensionality, resulting in a final set of 33-dimensional text feature items that determine the causal factors of ship collision risk. Taking the four steps involved in the collision process as the primary focus, a Bayesian network structure for ship collision risk is constructed based on the “human-ship-environment-management” system. By incorporating existing ship collision accident/danger reports, conditional probability tables are computed for each node in the Bayesian network structure, enabling the modelling of ship collision risk. The model is validated through an example, revealing that, under relevant conditions, the probability of collision exceeds 90 %. This finding demonstrates the validity of the model and allows one to deduce the primary cause of ship collision accidents.

Published: December 2023

In this work, large deformation compressive experiments of expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) and flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF) at low temperature (-20 °C) and room temperature (20 °C) with strain rates ranging from 1 s-1 to 100 s-1 were performed using high speed material test machine. According to the experimental results, both EPS materials and FPUF materials show the stress features of the wide platform, and the mechanical properties and the cushioning energy performance of EPS are far better than the FPUF. The testing results indicate the yield strength, plateau stress and energy absorption efficiency of EPS and FPUF increase with strain rate, and the properties at low temperature are higher slightly than that of room temperature. However, the efficiency of the two material buffer absorption is only related to the material itself. The strain rate and external temperature do not affect the best energy absorption efficiency of the material. Finally, on the basis of the experimental results, combine the Sheerwood-Frost model framework, establish the relationship between EPS materials and FPUF materials stress and strain, strain rate, temperature and other variables. This can provide accurate material attributes for simulation analysis.

Abstract: There are problems with vibration and impact in the meshing transmission process of non-bevel gear. Therefore, a simulation control method of non-bevel gear transmission based on ADAMS and MATLAB is proposed. First of all, the design modeling of non-bevel gear is briefly described, and the influence of order and eccentricity on its transmission ratio is analyzed; Then, the established non-bevel gear model is imported into ADAMS, and the constraint, motion pair, driving force, input and output variables are set. The data transfer relationship is established by using the ADAMS/Control module and MATLAB/Simulink interface, and the non-bevel gear mechanical system module is generated in MATLAB/Simulink; Finally, its joint simulation control system is built in the MATLAB/Simulink module, and its control simulation analysis is carried out. The research results show that by comparing and analyzing the simulation results of only constant value input and adding the PI control module, the amplitude, and frequency of the angular velocity and angular acceleration curves of the driven wheel are significantly reduced, that is, the vibration and impact in the non-bevel gear transmission are reduced, which verifies the correctness and feasibility of the control strategy, It provides a new method for the control design and development of the vibration reduction performance of non-bevel gear transmission; The result is beneficial to the application and popularization of non-bevel gears.
