The Ontic Probability Interpretation of Quantum Theory – Part III
Authors: Alba-Juez Felix
Published: February 2024

Most of us are either philosophically naïve scientists or scientifically naïve philosophers, so we misjudged Schrödinger’s “very burlesque” portrait of Quantum Theory (QT) as a profound conundrum. The clear signs of a strawman argument were ignored. The Ontic Probability Interpretation (TOPI) is a metatheory: a theory about the meaning of QT. Ironically, equating Reality with Actuality cannot explain actual data, justifying the century-long philosophical struggle. The actual is real but not everything real is actual. The ontic character of the Probable has been elusive for so long because it cannot be grasped directly from experiment; it can only be inferred from physical setups that do not morph it into the Actual. In this Part III, Born’s Rule and the quantum formalism for the microworld are intuitively surmised from instances in our macroworld. The posited reality of the quanton’s probable states and properties is probed and proved. After almost a century, TOPI aims at setting the record straight: the so-called ‘Basis’ and ‘Measurement’ problems are ill-advised. About the first, all bases are legitimate regardless of state and milieu. As for the second, its premise is false: there is no need for a physical ‘collapse’ process that would convert many states into a single state. Under TOPI, a more sensible variant of the ‘measurement problem’ can be reformulated in non-anthropic terms as a real problem. Yet, as such, it is not part of QT per se and will be tackled in future papers. As for the mythical cat, the ontic state of a radioactive nucleus is not pure, so its evolution is not governed by Schrödinger’s equation – let alone the rest of his “hellish machine”. Einstein was right: “The Lord is subtle but not malicious”. However, ‘The Lord’ turned out to be much subtler than what Einstein and Schrödinger could have ever accepted. Part IV introduces QR/TOPI: a new theory that solves the century-old problem of integrating Special Relativity with Quantum Theory [1].
Artificial intelligence assisted on seal design: Taking stable diffusion as an example
Authors: Huang Xu
Published: February 2024

In view of the possible problems of seal design, such as slow design speed, large error rate of seal identification, weak standardization and poor user satisfaction, how to use AI technology to solve these problems and improve the efficiency and automation of seal design is the focus of this research. This article used web crawlers and stable diffusion to collect exquisite seal images as the data source for research, and used median filtering to denoise the collected images. After graying the image using the weighted average method, histogram equalization is used for image enhancement. This article combined artificial intelligence technology and digital certificates to construct an electronic seal, and inputs the constructed electronic seal into the stable diffusion for further processing to obtain the final designed seal. The experiment showed that when the number of seals to be designed was 1, the time required to use stable diffusion for design was 1.11 seconds. At the same time, the average score of seal evaluators designed by stable diffusion in this article was 9.5 points (out of 10 points). With the help of artificial intelligence and stable diffusion, the study on seal design can improve the efficiency and accuracy of design, show good performance and stability in handling complex design tasks, and provide an effective solution to the limitations and efficiency of traditional seal design methods. At the same time, it also enhances the innovation and diversity of design, reduces the design cost, and improves the accuracy and efficiency of automated authenticity identification.

Authors: Fitria Indah
Published: February 2024

Indonesia adalah negara agraris yang sebagian besar penduduknya bermata pencaharian sebagai petani. Hal tersebut dikarenakan wilayah Indonesia berbentuk kepulauan dengan topografi yang bergunung-gunung, sehingga sangat cocok ditanami berbagai macam tanaman (pangan, perkebunan, hortikultura, dan lain-lain). Dengan pertimbangan inilah, maka sektor pertanian merupakan sektor yang sangat penting dalam menciptakan lapangan pekerjaan sehingga menghasilkan pendapatan bagi penduduk yang tinggal di pedesaan. Tanaman jeruk dapat tumbuh dan diusahakan petani di dataran rendah hingga dataran tinggi dengan varietas/spesies komersial yang berbeda, dan dapat dikonsumsi oleh masyarakat berpendapatan rendah hingga yang berpenghasilan tinggi. Hasil panen jeruk Gerga saat ini sudah banyak dipasarkan di Kota Bengkulu. Konsumen jeruk Gerga segar dapat membeli di pasar-pasar tradisional yang ada ataupun langsung atau ketempat produksi. Namun penyebaran pasar jeruk Gerga di Kota Bengkulu belum merata hingga saat ini, sering konsumen tidak dapat memebeli jeruk Gerga karena pasokannya habis atau tidak tahu tampat-tempat yang menjual jeruk Gerga. Skala pendukung masih kecil, promosi dan posisi pasar yang tetap untuk jeruk Gerga belum tersedia. Salah satu yang menjadi kendala bagi tersedianya permintaan dan penawaran yang efektif. Potensi jeruk Gerga yang belum dimaksimalkan dan diiringi dengan permasalahan internal dan eksternal yang muncul menjadi salah satu alasan mengapa analisis strategi pengembangan jeruk Gerga ini tertarik untuk di lakukan penelitian yang nantinya akan memberikan gambaran upaya pengembangan jeruk Gerga dan komoditas jeruk Gerga dan sistem agribisnis.
A eutanásia e a constituição da república federativa do brasil: o conflito entre o direito à vida e o direito à liberdade à luz do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana
Authors: Machado Luis Fernando Decoussau
Published: February 2024

O presente artigo tem como objetivo a análise da eutanásia em cotejo com a Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil frente aos direitos à vida e à liberdade. A eutanásia é um tema polêmico e fomenta debates apaixonados e, invariavelmente acalorados acerca da sua admissibilidade ou não. Os fundamentos, respeitáveis em ambos os sentidos, diga-se, restringem-se à prevalência do direito à vida ou do direito à liberdade. Como se sabe, não há direitos absolutos na Constituição Federal, de tal forma que a busca da harmonia, como forma de preservação da unidade constitucional, é a medida a ser buscada, segundo o postulado da proporcionalidade, mormente diante de princípios plurais, colidentes e antagônicos representativos da nossa sociedade multicultural. A eutanásia e as suas implicações adquirem maior relevo com a evolução da medicina e da bioética, porquanto o desenvolvimento da humanidade, sobretudo de equipamentos médicos que prolongam o processo da morte, suscitou novas questões até então não imaginadas pelo legislador penal em 1.940, que a veda. Diante disso, o que se pretende neste artigo é demonstrar que a prática da eutanásia tem amparo constitucional, caso o legislador infraconstitucional, revestido do poder majoritário, futuramente a preveja no ordenamento jurídico. A metodologia a ser utilizada neste trabalho será dedutiva, utilizando-se de análise bibliográfica em cotejo com normas jurídicas, doutrina e jurisprudência para concluir, de forma descritiva, que a eutanásia encontra amparo no ordenamento jurídico constitucional brasileiro, desde que haja previsão pelo legislador infraconstitucional.

Deste modo, o presente estudo concluiu que a região Norte do Brasil, é a principal afetada por esse tipo de CA em comparação com as outras regiões do país, devido a predominância dos fatores de risco nessa localidade e aos altos índices de CA de estômago registrados durante o período analisado pelo presente estudo.
IMPROVING THE APPROACH TO ASSESSING THE ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY OF REGIONAL ENTERPRISES
Authors: Клюс Юлія , Фоменко Денис
Published: February 2024

The results of the analysis of existing approaches to the selection of indicators and criteria for assessing the economic sustainability of regional enterprises show that a large number of different indicator systems are used. However, none of the approaches takes into account the innovation component, despite the growing role of the scientific and technical factor in the activities of regional enterprises. It is proved that the innovative attractiveness of enterprises is an important component of investment attractiveness, since investors associate the prospects of investment with innovations and invest in economically sustainable enterprises. Accordingly, the paper considers the innovation attractiveness of regional enterprises from the perspective of ensuring economic sustainability and defines it, unlike existing approaches, as the ability of an economic entity to ensure and maintain a high level of innovation activity over time. This approach involves the development of an innovation strategy and the implementation of innovative projects, contributes to building up the innovation potential, ensures and maintains high efficiency of innovation activities. To analyze the innovation attractiveness of enterprises, the economic sustainability of activities is structured by the following components – financial, social, production and technical, marketing, innovation, and indicators for their evaluation are proposed. It is proved that the number of indicators required to assess the innovation potential that can ensure the economic sustainability of enterprise activity should be limited by their practical applicability, the cost of development and obtaining information. The allocation of the innovation component ensures not only the fulfillment of complex production tasks in a changing environment of functioning of regional enterprises, but also contributes to the overcoming of the economic crisis with minimal consequences for them, since innovative solutions contribute to the optimization of production and use of resources, provide flexibility in terms of the realities of doing business. The proposed set of quantitative indicators, calculated on the basis of financial and statistical reporting data, allows to determine the economic sustainability of regional enterprises, taking into account their innovative attractiveness.

In order to assess the composition and spatio-temporal variation of phytoplankton in Lake Chapala, a study was carriedout at ten sampling stations in January, May and September during 2012. A total of 60 species/morphospecies of netphytoplankton were recorded at the surface and at two metres depth. The Division Chlorophyta recorded the highestnumber of species (22), followed by Cyanophyta (20), Heterokontophyta (13), Euglenophyta (four) and Dinophyta(one). Cyanophyta species accounted for 84-90% of the abundance of the five divisions in the sampling months, withslight species turnover at the order level in this class. Multidimensional scaling analysis (NMDS) showed an evidentseparation of the phytoplankton community between sampling months forming three temporal clusters, consistent withthe exploratory similarity analysis (SIMPER), which also showed three temporal associations. While Bray Curtisordination analysis revealed a significant correlation between phytoplankton species and environmental variables, such asdissolved oxygen, transparency, irradiance, temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and wind speed (p < 0.05). In conclusion,a clear dominance in presence and abundance of species of the Cyanophyta Division was observed in the lake during thepresent study; identifying the traditional succession process in the phytoplankton community assemblages, characteristicin water bodies with different levels of eutrophication.
Next generation dry strength additives: Leveraging on-site synthesis to develop high performance glyoxalated polyacrylamides
Authors: PETTY II ANTHONY J. , WRIGHT MATTHEW , BORKAR SACHIN
Published: February 2024

Although glyoxalated polyacrylamides (gPAMs) have been described since the 1950s, the freedom to design new materials based on this chemistry has been limited by practical concerns; namely, a balance between solution concentration and material characteristics must be met to make the economics of gPAM strength additives work for the paper industry. For traditional “delivered” gPAMs, only a very narrow range of polyacrylamide molecular weights and compositions could be considered for glyoxalation. However, the development and successful implementation of automated reactor equipment that allows for the synthesis of gPAMs from glyoxal and polyacrylamide copolymers at the mill, known as “on-site” glyoxalation, obviates the shipping and stability concerns that have traditionally held back gPAM development. As such, on-site generators represent a platform that enables the glyoxalation of materials that would otherwise not have been suitable for use in a traditionally delivered gPAM product. These on-site generators therefore open new avenues for polymer design to allow for the creation of the next generation of strength additives. By leveraging the synthetic freedom of the on-site generators, a suite of high performance gPAMs has been designed, yielding materials that provide both exceptional strength and drainage performance in poor quality furnishes.
A Systematic Review of Three Biomarkers to Aid in the Assessment of Outcomes for Children and Young People with Cancer that are Febrile Neutropenic
Authors: Griffin Sarah
Published: February 2024

For paediatric patients with cancer, febrile neutropenia (FN) is the most common complication of treatment. It requires inpatient hospitalisation and treatment with empirical broad-spectrum antibiotics. Approximately 20-30% of febrile neutropenic patients have a documented infection, thus needing antibiotics. For the rest, it is suggested that the cause of FN could be a viral or fungal infection, the malignancy itself, drug related or the result of a blood transfusion reaction as examples, therefore not requiring antibiotics. With no risk-stratification tool in use in practice to distinguish between patients who are at high or low risk of bacterial infections, recent studies have focused on identifying clinical and laboratory markers for this. This systematic review will focus on three biomarkers, C-reactive protein (CRP), presepsin (sCD14-ST) and lactate, to find their sensitivities and specificities for diagnosing bacterial infections and thus help determine the risk of poor outcomes for patients with FN. This review has systematically searched for relevant primary research papers. These studies have been critically appraised using a validated critical appraisal tool. Data from these studies were then extracted using a data extraction form, and evidence summarised. The findings have been interpreted, and the implications to practice and research are discussed. 1051 febrile neutropenic episodes from 743 children from different countries were analysed. In the majority of studies (75%), acute lymphoblastic leukaemia was the most frequent diagnosis. Eight of the studies in this review are looking at CRP. Two studies are looking at lactate, and five review presepsin. Lactate is a sensitive and specific biomarker with a lactate level ≥ 2mmol/L and >2.5mmol/L showed sensitivities of 81% and 80% and specificities of 83% and 92.1%, respectively. Presepsin and CRP had mixed results for its sensitivity and specificity. Lactate and CRP are useful biomarkers for assessing the outcomes of children with FN and could be added to a CDR. This review cannot confirm that presepsin is a useful biomarker for practice and, therefore, cannot justify adding it to a CDR.

Authors: Tong Huaming , Feng Qingqing
Published: February 2024

The pop music industry has a wide-ranging social influence and serves as an important medium for cultural exchange and international dissemination. This article aims to conduct a comparative study of the pop music industries in China and the United States, with the goal of comparing the differences and variations in pop music development between these two-major economic and cultural powers. Firstly, we compare and analyze the differences and similarities between the two countries in terms of music market size, music consumption patterns, and the value chain of the music industry. Secondly, we explore the challenges and opportunities faced by the pop music industries in China and the United States, aiming to inspire reflections on the development of the pop music industry in both countries. The study reveals that the future direction of China's pop music industry focuses on increasing the number of paying users and integrating pop music with social platforms. On the other hand, the U.S. pop music industry is dedicated to expanding into emerging overseas markets and enhancing its own influence. The future development trends of the pop music industry in China and the United States provide valuable insights for further exploration and promotion of the pop music industry's development.
Unraveling Trauma and Heterotopic Spaces in Michael Ondaatje's "Anil's Ghost": A Postcolonial Exploration
Authors: KHOMA V. I.
Published: February 2024

The present paper explores Michael Ondaatje's novel "Anil's Ghost" through the lens of trauma theory, postcolonialism, and the concept of heterotopic spaces. As space studies examine migration, displacement, and exile, which are inherently linked to traumatic experiences, the investigation illuminates the intricate connection between heterotopic spaces and encounters with trauma, providing a valuable understanding of their interdependence. Michael Ondaatje, the acclaimed author of "Anil's Ghost", has drawn upon his own traumatic experiences of displacement and emigration in the novel. Therefore, the purpose of the research paper is to analyze how changes in space shape traumatic experiences. Spaces are integral to one's sense of place and identity, and traumatic events might disrupt this connection, leading to a profound loss of identity or a struggle to reconcile personal identity with changed or disrupted spaces. Studying the connections between trauma and space reveals a better understanding of how environments and spatial contexts impact the occurrence, perception, and recovery from traumatic events. The research contextualizes Foucault's concept of heterotopia within postcolonial distinctions in time and space, emphasizing its relevance in understanding the novel's narrative. It highlights the complexity of trauma and the challenge of reconciling historical narratives within these spaces. Employing a multidimensional methodology integrating cultural studies, trauma theory, and literary analysis, results uncover the complexities of trauma within postcolonial spaces, notably Sri Lanka, showcasing the profound impact of historical conflicts and Western interventions. Ultimately, the research concludes by recognizing the intertwined nature of trauma, history, and identity within physical and metaphorical spaces. It acknowledges the evolution of characters’ identities like Anil Tissera, who navigate their personal traumas and their nation's scars, seeking a path forward while acknowledging the weight of history. In summary, the manuscript contributes to a deeper understanding of how "Anil's Ghost" navigates the complexities of trauma, identity, and history, shedding light on the relationships between individuals, society, and historical narratives in postcolonial contexts.

Shaft propeller is one of the most important parts of ship propulsion installations. To produce a good quality shaft propeller, the ship propeller designer must consider various parameters, in order to produce the type and size of the propeller that has the value of effectiveness and high propulsion efficiency. Shaft propellers are usually made of steel but, in this study the propeller shaft model is made of Aluminum Alloy base material. So the material must have good mechanical properties. The purpose of this study is to see the mechanical properties of the sheller propeller with aluminum alloy base material with the addition of silicon elements and magnesium by going through the heat treatment process. The main base material used is 6063 aluminum alloy, with variations in the addition of Si (1, 2, 4 wt%). The addition of Mg can improve the mechanical properties of the casting. Alloy Al6063 is heated to a temperature of 790°C to reach a complete liquid state. Then the temperature is lowered to 645°C, then the Si element is inserted into the heating furnace and stirred. Then the temperature is lowered to 615°C, then the Mg element is added, then stirred thoroughly by a mechanical stirrer. The rotational speed of the stirrer is 70 rpm and the stirring time is 240 seconds. Then heated to a pouring temperature of 670°C. The mold is heated to a temperature of 265°C. Then poured into the mold and pressed 7 MPa. After that, it was allowed to stand for 600 seconds, and then removed from the mould. The cast propeller shaft is cooled at room temperature. Then the propeller shaft was heat treated with a solution treatment temperature of 485°C for 3600 seconds and then quenched using a fluid. After that, the casting products were treated with artificial aging. The results of the study are, Porosity will decrease along with the addition of Silicon elements. The lowest porosity level is in addition of 3% wt Silicon that is equal to 1.15%. Tensile test with the addition of 1% wt Silicon ie, 106.882 MPa, in addition of 2% wt Silicon that is, 128.713 MPa, and in addition of 3% wt Silicon ie 132.668 MPa. So the highest tensile stress value is at 3% wt. Hardness values will increase with the addition of Silicon elements. The highest hardness value found in the variation of 3% wt Silicon ie, 69.9 HB. While in the variation (0, 1, 2% wt) that is, 43.75 HB, 51.24 HB and 56.45 HB. So this study, proving that the addition of silicon elements can improve the mechanical properties of the shaft propeller.

. The optimization model is one of the system analysis models identified with operation research. The transportation model determines the lowest cost for sending one item from several sources to several destinations as a collection of interconnected elements forming a single unit to integrate data, process, and store. Goods delivery transportation services are the use of software to provide services in the form of delivery of goods that are interrelated and structured to achieve a specific goal. The working principle of the Least cost method is to prioritize allocations with the most negligible unit cost (most minor cost per unit). This research was carried out using the Least Cost method so that companies can determine the optimal cost of shipping goods.

Currently, renewable energy sources are needed as a substitute for conventional energy sources because conventional energy sources will become decades in recent years. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar have gained popularity and demand over the last decade. However, the output of this source depends on weather conditions. With these two sources, then we can produce the desired electric power. This project designs a hybrid power generation system model using wind and solar resources. This system can be implemented in areas around airports where large amounts of wind energy can be collected due to the high-speed movement of aircraft. At the same time, solar energy from the sun will also be collected. Eventually, the two energies will be collected simultaneously to charge the battery and be used for everyday life. The designed wind turbines are Savonius wind turbines which produce an average of 33.2-33.5 watts of electricity, and a Polycrystalline type solar panel with 200 WP.
