La identidad-raíz y la identidad-rizoma: pensar los retos de la identidad cultural con el filósofo martiniqués Édouard Glissant
Authors: Yon-Dominguez Lola
Published: July 2023

El presente artículo toma como punto de partida las cuestiones políticas en torno al concepto de identidad cultural en Francia, con especial atención a la polémica del islamo-izquierdismo y la recepción de los estudios decoloniales en la década de los 2020. El propósito es mostrar que los conceptos de identidad-raíz e identidad-rizoma permiten, por un lado, diagnosticar la banalización de una política identitaria conservadora y, por otro, proponer un nuevo paradigma para pensar las identidades contemporáneas, es decir, una identidad abierta, relacional y reticular, resultado de un proceso constante de criollización. Tras una breve introducción a la obra de Glissant, nos centraremos en la distinción raíz/rizoma elaborado por Gilles Deleuze y Félix Guattari, así como en la crítica del pensamiento occidental que conlleva. En la última parte, explicaremos con mayor detenimiento nuestra interpretación del pensamiento de Édouard Glissant sobre la identidad, aplicándola al caso concreto de la creación en 2007 de un Ministerio de Inmigración, Integración, Identidad Nacional y Codesarrollo, denunciado por Patrick Chamoiseau y Édouard Glissant como el ejemplo paradigmático de la identidad raíz.

Published: July 2023

Media and democracy are involved in a social contract, which has implications for one another. The emergence of alternative media is a breath of fresh air that provides an opportunity for the community to revive public space through public discussion and create a well-informed society regarding their rights in a democracy. Through literature review and digital observation, this paper attempts to describe the position of alternative media journalism practices based on Strömbäck's democratic normative model. WatchdoC Documentary as an alternative media implements a form of participatory democracy practice by using 'marginalized' sources, reaching out to issues that are rarely raised by the mainstream media, and placing citizens as active subjects and aware of the issues.

Published: July 2023

Staff and students from almost every country are now learning python programming language. However, the syntax of programming languages, libraries, documentation, and instructional materials are taught and presented in English language. Non-native English speaking counties are faced with many challenges with the contents, reading and writing codes in Python. In West African countries Hausa language is one of the languages spoken by over 80 million people globally primarily found in Nigeria, Niger, Sudan, Ghana, and Cameroon. Therefore, it is imperative to teach python programming using mother’s tongue which can be understood easily by non-native English speaking country. The methodology used in this paper is python programming and Hausa languages. Results obtained indicated that there is significant increase in the rate of understanding using this technique.
Diagnosis and management of acute rheumatic fever
Authors: Kartika Irma , Akil Syafarinah Nur Hidayah
Published: July 2023

Acute rheumatic fever is a nonsuppurative, immune-mediated consequence of group A streptococcal pharyngitis. Recurrent or severe acute rheumatic fever can cause permanent cardiac valve damage and rheumatic heart disease. Universally, the most common major manifestations during the first episode of ARF remain carditis and arthritis. Subclinical carditis now can fulfils a major criterion for ARF in all populations as in revised Jones criteria – AHA 2015. Many of the clinical features of ARF are non-specific, so a wide range of differential diagnoses should be considered. Primary prevention requires accurate recognition and proper antibiotic treatment of GAS pharyngitis. Prevention of recurrent attacks of rheumatic fever (secondary prevention) is the most cost-effective way of preventing further rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Penicillin remains the antibiotic of choice. Intramuscular penicillin is preferred as it is more effective than oral penicillin and results in better compliance.
Wacana Model Penafsiran Terbaik: Telaah Kritis Produk Tafsir bi al-Ma’thūr Era Mutaqaddimīn
Authors: Mahdi Afandi  , Abd. Kholid
Published: July 2023

In addition to the interpretation of the Qur'an using a reasoning approach (ra'yi), the interpreter also used an interpretive method with riwayah or the so-called interpretation bi al-ma'thūr. This interpretation is considered the best model of interpretation by Ibn Taimiyah and Ibn Kaṡīr and has very high validity and argumentation. Even so high, the results of the interpretation of bi al-ma'thūr must be followed and should not be ignored. This study aims to critically analyze and verify the bi al-ma'thur interpretation model that was born in the mutaqaddimīn era. Focusing on two main interpretation books, namely Jāmi' al-Bayān an Ta'wīl Ȃyi al-Qur'an by Muhammad bin Jarīr al-Ṭabari (d. 310 H.), and Baḥr al-‘Ulūm by Naṣr ibn Muhammad al-Samarqandi (d. 375 H). This research used an analytical descriptive approach and is included in library research because the data source came from library-based literature, it also included verification research, which is a type of research used to review the principles and methods of interpretation that have developed from the perspective of its relevance to the times. The results of this study are that although considered the best, the bi al-ma'ṡur interpretation model in fact has problematic deficiencies from various sides. Among them, there are many weak narrations or even munkar narrations, the narrations have minimal isnads so one cannot distinguish which ones are authentic and which are weak, many contain israiliyat narrations without commenting or selecting narrators, and cite narrations from narrators who are considered negative by scholars. Interpretation of this model is recommended to be avoided for whom do not have knowledge related to riwayah and dirayah.

Noise immunity of coherent reception of M-PSK signals with a sinusoidal envelope in hydroacoustic communication channel
Authors:   RTU MIREA, 119454, Moscow, pr. Vernadskogo, 78, Denisov V.E.
Published: July 2023

Goals: The main purpose of this work is to develop a methodology for determining the parameters of signals with multi-position phase manipulation (M-PSK), in which the signals become relatively invariant to frequency distortions in the marine environment. The frequency distortion of the signals is caused by the uneven frequency response of the attenuation of the marine environment. The main part of this technique is to assess the effect of frequency distortion of signals on the noise immunity of reception. To do this, the error probabilities of the M-PSK signal receiver are determined, which is optimal in the absence of distortion. Methods: The provisions of applied hydroacoustics, the theory of random processes and the theory of transmission of discrete messages are used. The main content: The paper considered a model of a single-beam hydroacoustic communication channel, characteristic of the deep sea, when the receiver or transmitter is located in the depths of the sea. The transmission coefficient of the channel is used as a transmission coefficient with a Gaussian amplitude -frequency response and a linear phase-frequency response. The additive boundary of the error probability for coherent reception of M-PSK signals with a sinusoidal envelope is determined. As a receiver, a coherent receiver is considered, optimal by the criterion of maximum likelihood under the action of white Gaussian noise and the absence of distortion in the marine environment. A logarithmic measure of increasing the probability of error is introduced, which characterizes the deterioration of noise immunity due to frequency distortions in the channel. For some typical cases, the values of signal parameters that are relatively invariant to frequency distortions in the marine environment are determined. Results: Expressions are found for the upper bound of the error probability of coherent receivers of M-PSK signals with a sinusoidal envelope for M = 2, 4, 8, 16, 32. A logarithmic measure of the relative increase in the probability of error compared to the case of no distortion is introduced. The functional dependence of this measure on the duration of sending the signal, the carrier frequency and the number of phases of the signal, as well as on the communication range and the signal-to-noise ratio is determined. On the plane of the carrier frequency, the duration of sending the signal, for each type of signal, a boundary of the region above which the signals are relatively invariant to frequency distortions in the marine environment is constructed. A comparison is made with the case of receiving M-PSK signals with a rectangular envelope. It is shown that invariant signals with a sinusoidal envelope have a shorter duration than signals with a straight-angle envelope. In addition, the duration of signals with a sinusoidal envelope is significantly less dependent on the number of phases of the signal.

Para el tallo, se caracterizaron dos patrones de aerénquima cortical que se relacionan con los ambientes que habitan las especies y sus adaptaciones al mismo. A modo de conclusión se elaboró una clave dicotómica con caracteres anatómicos vegetativos de las especies de Bacopa que crecen en los humedales.
The Plantation “All Charter” Model and the Long Durée of Resistance for Black Public High Schools in New Orleans
Authors: Jeffers Elizabeth K. , Dixson Adrienne D.
Published: July 2023

Education research has often overlooked how the long durée of resistance for Black education has shaped current educational policy. We complicate notions of Black public school closures in two case studies from extensive ethnographic research in post-Katrina New Orleans through our reading of the plantation. Findings suggest these institutions have served as linchpins for the transferal of the blues. Data analysis also indicates that traditional public school closures have functioned as a plantation management device. We encourage future inquiries into portfolio governance models, school “choice,” and school closures to consider the plantation complex and to recognize that post-Katrina education reforms were not isolated policy enactments.
Bayesian Change-Point Analysis Approach to Detecting Aberrant Test-Taking Behavior Using Response Times
Authors: Zhu Hongyue , Jiao Hong , Gao Wei , Meng Xiangbin
Published: July 2023

Change-point analysis (CPA) is a method for detecting abrupt changes in parameter(s) underlying a sequence of random variables. It has been applied to detect examinees’ aberrant test-taking behavior by identifying abrupt test performance change. Previous studies utilized maximum likelihood estimations of ability parameters, focusing on detecting one change point for each examinee. This article proposes a Bayesian CPA procedure using response times (RTs) to detect abrupt changes in examinee speed, which may be related to aberrant responding behaviors. The lognormal RT model is used to derive a procedure for detecting aberrant RT patterns. The method takes the numbers and locations of the change points as parameters in the model to detect multiple change points or multiple aberrant behaviors. Given the change points, the corresponding speed of each segment in the test can be estimated, which enables more accurate inferences about aberrant behaviors. Simulation study results indicate that the proposed procedure can effectively detect simulated aberrant behaviors and estimate change points accurately. The method is applied to data from a high-stakes computerized adaptive test, where its applicability is demonstrated.

ESTIMATION OF THE OPTIMUM BED THICKNESS OF A FLOWTHROUGH POROUS ELECTRODE (FTPE) WORKING UNDER MASS TRANSFER CONTROL
Authors: Slaiman Qasim J. M. , Najim Sarmad Talib , Sadeq Aws Abdulmahdi
Published: July 2023

In this paper, a theoretical analysis of optimum bed thickness operates under mass transfer control for realizing a high efficiency and reaction conversion of an electrochemical reactor has been made based on flowthrough porous electrode (FTPE) configuration. Many models have been used to represent the optimum bed thickness by taking a look into previous works concerned and collecting all related information, data, and models. The parameters that affect the optimum bed thickness have been visualized and reviewed, and almost all of them have been examined by experimental data from different sources and based on the various models. It has been found that the increase in electrolyte flow rate, concentration, limiting current density, and specific surface area reduce the optimum bed thickness, and the increase in electrolyte conductivity, void fraction, and overpotential range increases optimum bed thickness. The most important design parameter that has a great effect on optimum bed thickness is found to be the electrolyte flow rate for any certain operation. It has been concluded that the most appropriate two models to represent the optimum bed thickness of FTPE electrochemical reactor operating under mass transfer control based on the results are those predicted theoretically and stated by Kreysa in (1978) and Doherty et al. in (1996).
Water Flow Visualization And Velocity Measurement Using Hydrogen Bubble Generation Technique In Low Speed Open Channel
Authors: Ezzat Akram W. , Mansoor Taif M.
Published: July 2023

Visualization of water flow around different bluff bodies at different Reynolds number ranging (1505 - 2492) was realized by designing and building a test rig which contains an open channel capable to ensure water velocity range (4-8cm/s) in this channel. Hydrogen bubbles generated from the ionized water using DC power supply are visualized by a light source and photographed by a digital camera. Flow pattern around a circular disk of (3.6cm) diameter and (3mm) thickness, a sphere of (3.8cm) diameter and a cylinder of (3.2cm) diameter and (10cm) length are studied qualitatively. Parameters of the vortex ring generated in the wake region of the disk and the separation angle of water stream lines from the surface of the sphere are plotted versus Reynolds number. Proper empirical formulas are investigated to describe the behavior of vortex ring parameters and separation angle versus Reynolds number. Vortex growth history in the wake region of the cylinder is identified by analyzing the photographs extracted from the digital camera used for photography purposes. Water velocity measurement in the upstream region and near the edge of the disk is conducted at different Reynolds number by measuring the length of Hydrogen bubble pulse streaks generated in the upstream region of the disk using electronic pulse generator circuit. Special electronic circuit is designed and fabricated to cut off the applied DC voltage. The calibration of the designed pulse generator is conducted using the proper oscilloscope device. The pictures extracted from the digital camera are used for analyzing the generated Hydrogen pulses.

Authors: Abou-Loukh Sadiq J. , Jameel Jaleel Sadoon
Published: July 2023

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is an important physiological signal for cardiac disease diagnosis. With the increasing use of modern electrocardiogram monitoring devices that generate vast amount of data requiring huge storage capacity. In order to decrease storage costs or make ECG signals suitable and ready for transmission through common communication channels, the ECG datavolume must be reduced. So an effective data compression method is required. This paper presents an efficient technique for the compression of ECG signals. In this technique, different transforms have been used to compress the ECG signals. At first, a 1-D ECG data was segmented and aligned to a 2-D data array, then 2-D mixed transform was implemented to compress the ECG data in the 2-D form. The compression algorithms were implemented and tested using multiwavelet, wavelet and slantlet transforms to form the proposed method based on mixed transforms. Then vector quantization technique was employed to extract the mixed transform coefficients. Some selected records from MIT/BIH arrhythmia database were tested contrastively and the performance of theproposed methods was analyzed and evaluated using MATLAB package. Simulation results showed that the proposed methods gave a high compression ratio (CR) for the ECG signals comparing with other available methods. For example, the compression of one record (record 100) yielded CR of 24.4 associated with percent root mean square difference (PRD) of 2.56% was achieved.

Published: July 2023

Ex-situ bioremediation of 2,4-D herbicide-contaminated soil was studied using a slurry bioreactor operate at aerobic conditions. The performance of the slurry bioreactor was tested for three types of soil (sand, sandy loam and clay) contaminated with different concentration of 2,4-D, 200,300and500mg/kg soil. Sewage sludge was used as an inexpensive source of microorganisms which is available in large quantities in wastewater treatment plants. The results show that all biodegradation experiments demonstrated a significant decreases in 2,4-D concentration in the tested soils. The degradation efficiency in the slurry bioreactor decreases as the initial concentration of 2,4-D in the soils increases.A 100 % removal was achieved at initial concentration of 200mg 2,4-D/kg of sandy soil after 12 days and 92 % at 500mg 2,4-D/kg sandy soil after 14 days.Clay soil represented minimum removal efficiency among the three soils, 82 % at initial concentration of 200mg 2,4-D/kg clay soil after 12 days and 72 % for 500mg 2,4-D/kg clay soil after 14 days. Abiotic conditions were performed to investigate the desorption efficiency of the contaminant from soil to liquid phase through the three soils. In abiotic reactor the results showed that the rate of desorption for sand and sandy loam soils were nearly the same, it varied between0.102-0.135 day-1 at different initial concentration of 2,4-D. While for clay soil the desorption rate varied between 0.042- 0.031 day-1 at different initial concentration of 2,4-D. The decrease in desorption rate in clay soil refers to the characteristic of clay soil, (fine texture, high organic matter and high cation exchange capacity compared with the other soils) that may retain the 2,4-D in the organic matter and the clay minerals.

Kanker serviks dapat dicegah melalui program skrining, tapi tingkat partisipasi skrining di Indonesia masih rendah yaitu hanya 5% dari target. Pengetahuan dan kesadaran tentang pentingnya skrining kanker serviks merupakan hambatan terbesar untuk partisipasi skrining. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan dengan efikasi diri skrining kanker serviks pada wanita usia subur. Desain penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif korelatif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Besar sampel 62 orang wanita usia subur yang tinggal di wilayah kerja puskesmas Ibrahim Adjie dengan menggunakan purposive random sampling. Analisis hubungan antara pengetahuan dan efikasi diri diuji menggunakan uji pearson product moment. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan pengetahuan dengan efikasi diri skrining kanker serviks pada wanita usia subur di wilayah kerja puskesmas Ibrahim Adjie Kota Bandung (p=0,732). Terdapat faktor lain yang memengaruhi efikasi diri selain pengetahuan. Oleh karena itu, petugas kesehatan perlu menentukan strategi lain selain edukasi untuk meningkatkan efikasi diri wanita usia subur dalam rangka meningkatkan partisipasi skrinning kanker serviks.

Can the Neural Representation of Physical Pain Predict Empathy for Pain in Others?

Published: July 2023

The question of whether physical pain and vicarious pain have some shared neural substrates is unresolved. Whilst most studies have shown overlapping regions of brain activity to these two states this need not reflect shared substrates at the voxel level or below. Krishnan et al. (2016) found that physical and vicarious pain are represented by dissociable multivariate brain patterns by creating biomarkers for physical pain (Neurologic Pain Signature, NPS) and vicarious pain (Vicarious Pain Signature, VPS) respectively. In the current research, the NPS and VPS were applied to three fMRI datasets (one new, two published) relating to vicarious pain which focused on between-subject differences in vicarious pain (Datasets 1 and 3, N = 40 and 65 participants) and within-subject manipulations of perspective taking (Dataset 2，N= 71 participants). Results show that (1) NPS can distinguish brain responses to images of pain versus no-pain and to a greater extent in vicarious pain responders who report experiencing pain when observing pain, (2) VPS can distinguish brain responses to images of pain versus no-pain only during self-perspective instructions. This study suggests that the NPS (created to detect physical pain) is, under some circumstances, sensitive to vicarious pain and that the VPS (created to detect vicarious pain) is not a generalizable biomarker of vicarious pain.

Lay SummaryAnxiety is a common problem for neurodivergent children and young people, however it can be very challenging to identify and to manage. In a national survey, many neurodivergent children and young people and their parents expressed their frustration with not getting the right support and not “being treated seriously until at a crisis point” (National Autistic Society, 2021). As a first step to understand what has been done and what else can be done to manage anxiety problems among neurodivergent children and young people, we will explore what interventions are currently offered by child and adolescent mental health services in a large NHS Trust to autistic children and young people who have problems with anxiety, and what the outcomes of these interventions are (if recorded). We will search the structural data field in current medical records and free-text clinical notes using a Natural Language Processing (NLP) model.AbstractBackground: Anxiety problems are more prominent in neurodivergent children and young people than in their neurotypical peers. Such high rates of comorbidity are important to recognise as this comorbidity is associated with a greater risk of adverse outcomes, including self-harm and suicidality, than either condition on its own. While both pharmacological and psychological treatments are often prescribed for anxiety problems in autistic children and young people, as well as in those with ADHD, the evidence base for their effectiveness has so far been inconclusive, and little is known about their treatment outcomes in routine care. Methods: This study aims to explore the nature and outcomes of anxiety treatments for autistic children and young people and for those with ADHD using pseudonymised electronic health record data. Longitudinal trends of both structured records of diagnoses (as recorded by ICD-10 codes), demographic information, treatment team and free-text clinical notes on presenting problems, indication of treatments, treatment provision, treatment outcomes and side effects, will be extracted and analysed. Free-text clinical notes will be processed to extract key concepts of interest using Natural Language Processing.Discussion: This study will explore what treatments are available for autistic children and young people, and those with ADHD, in routine care, as well as treatment outcomes. However, due to the nature and availability of data, the findings will inevitably be limited in their generalisability, which we aim to address in future phases of research.
The geo domain: a review on the conceptualization of geographical and geopolitical entities.

Investigating how people represent the natural environment and abstract it into geographical (e.g., mountain) and geopolitical (e.g., city) categories is pivotal to comprehending how they move and interact with the places they inhabit. Yet, the conceptualization of geographical and geopolitical domains has received scant attention so far. To deal with that, we reviewed 50 articles tackling this topic. Most studies have focused on assessing the universality of these concepts—especially geographical ones—mainly using free-listing and ethnophysiographic methods. Current perspectives tend to favor a non-universalistic characterization of these kinds of concepts, emphasizing their high cross-linguistic and cross-cultural variability, especially when compared to other semantic domains. Since geographical and geopolitical features are not pre-segmented by nature, the role of categories imposed by humans is crucial for these concepts. Significantly, their variability does not only depend on “cross” differences: evidence suggests that the cognitive demand requested by the task, idiosyncratic characteristics of individuals such as expertise level, and the typology of inhabited environments are further factors impacting the conceptual flexibility of these domains. Exploring the factors influencing our understanding of geographical and geopolitical categories can provide valuable insights for instructing effective communication policies to enhance sustainable development and address ecological emergencies, taking into consideration diverse cultural backgrounds within different populations.
