In an attempt to find out a suitable sieve size and machine speed for grading sunflower seeds in a two screen cleaner cum grader, performance of various sieve sizes (round perforated) and machine speed on seed quality was studied. Decrease in sieve aperture size from 5.5 to 4.5 mm and increase in machine speed from 150 to 225 rpm improved the recovery percentage. However, the physical attributes such as seed length, width, and weight decreased with the decrease in sieve aperture size and increase in grading speed. Germination was higher in seeds retained on 5.5 mm sieve (98.0%) and lower in seeds passed through 4.5 mm sieve (86.0%). The seedling growth and vigour parameters also showed a similar trend. Germination, seedling growth and vigour index of seeds graded at a midrange speed of 175.to 200 rpm were more compared to the extreme speeds of 150 and 225 rpm. For maximum recovery and better sowing quality, grading sunflower seeds using 4.5 mm sieve at a speed range of 175 to 200 rpm was found to be optimum..

Published: June 2023

Studies were conducted to find out the effect of reduced water potential treatments on germination and five seedling growth related characters viz., plumule length, radicle length, vigour index, promptness index and germination stress index in mung bean genotypes. Decreasing water potential or increasing moisture stress adversely affected germination and all seedling growth related characters in that every attribute was significantly reduced with every level of decreasing water potentials. The extent of reduction varied with the genotypes and the reduced water potential. However, the reduced water potential at -0.25MPa did not affect germination. Four genotypes recorded no germination at -1.00MPa and this would be critical level of water stress for mungbean. Five genotypes viz., KM 2, Vamban 1, Pusa 9072, K 1, and TARM 1 with higher germination stress index were found to possess higher level of tolerance to drought.

Published: June 2023

The number of claims plays an important role the profit achievement of health insurance companies. Prediction of the number of claims could give the signiﬁcant implications in the profit margins generated by the health insurance company. Therefore, the prediction of claim submission by insurance users in that year needs to be done by insurance companies. Machine learning methods promise the great solution for claim prediction of the health insurance users.  There are several machine learning methods that can be used for claim prediction, such as the Naïve Bayes method, Decision Tree (DT), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The previous studies show that the SVM has some advantages over the other methods. However, the performance of the SVM is determined by some parameters. Parameter selection of SVM is normally done by trial and error so that the performance is less than optimal. Some optimization algorithms based heuristic optimization can be used to determine the best parameter values of SVM, for example Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). They are able to search the global optimum, easy to be implemented. The derivatives aren’t needed in its computation. Several researches show that PSO give the better solutions if it is compared with GA. All particles in the PSO are able to find the solution near global optimal. For these reasons, this article proposes the health claim insurance prediction using SVM with PSO. The experimental results show that the SVM with PSO gives the great performance in the health claim insurance prediction and it has been proven that the SVM with PSO give better performance than the SVM standard.

Authors:   federal state budget educational institution of higher education «Saint Petersburg State University of Culture», Yuliya Ivanovna Arutyunyan
Published: June 2023

The struggle of the forces of Good and Evil is one of the leading themes of European art of the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque. Personifications of positive and negative qualities of a person are depicted in book miniatures, monumental paintings, mosaics and sculpture from the time of the Carolingians up to the XIX century. The victory of Virtues over Vices described in the «Psychomachy» by Aurelius Prudentius Clement functioned as subjects of the art of the book of the Carolingian and Ottonian eras, sculpture of the facades of Romanesque and Gothic churches, in memorial plastic and allegorical painting of the Renaissance and Baroque. Medieval art generates several variants of the interpretation of the plot – the battle of Virtues in the form of warrior maidens with bestial monsters – Sins, allegorical embodiment of the forces of good and evil in the form of animals, genre interpretation of the theme in the form of «everyday» scenes. The Renaissance tradition refers to the personifications of good and evil forces in monumental paintings (Giotto) and memorial plastics, often as a symbolic designation, subjects of Holy Scripture are used. In the XVII century, allegories of Virtues appear in scenes of triumphs and glorification of rulers, in the festive decoration of processions (P. P. Rubens), in monumental paintings (Pietro da Cortona), in decorative and applied art.

Literature Review: Multiparadigm Accounting Research
Authors: Rantung Danny Ivan , Oroh Nouke Sysca , Prayanthi Ika
Published: June 2023

The objective of this paper is to explore all related literature with multiparadigm accounting research approaches. The literature search strategy begins by looking at literature from sources in the forms of books or sources originating from several databases or search engines including open knowledge maps, google scholar, and z-library. The keywords used for the search are “accounting: science with various paradigms, multiparadigm accounting research, accounting paradigm and paradigm accounting”.  From the results of searching and reviewing the literature, including books, journal articles and other electronic sources, various kinds of multiparadigm accounting research were obtained. By knowing the benefits of each of the paradigm viewpoints that have been described, it is good if we take a mixed paradigm approach in accounting research so that research results are of higher quality because they are not only based on one paradigm. Even though in one research using one accounting paradigm, those of us who strongly believe in a certain paradigm still have an open mind towards other paradigms thus enriching our views so that in studying accounting all paradigms are believed to complement one another. This research will greatly contribute to academics in viewing accounting from various perspectives. This literature review classifies multiparadigm accounting research based on more specific groups.

Authors: Bila V.V. , Zahorodnia O.S. , Baryshnikova V.V.
Published: June 2023

In the conditions of rapid social and economic changes such society categories as pregnant women, women after labour and newborns are especially helpless. Lactation onset is extremely sensitive to stress. Instead, under the stressful conditions breastfeeding is the key to safe nutrition and protection from the emotional stress of the child and mother. One of the modern technologies for supporting breastfeeding is breast milk banks (BMB), the first of which in Ukraine is functioning on the basis of the Perinatal Center in Kyiv. This article is devoted to the peculiarities of the BMB’s work in the conditions of a full-scale war.The objective: to study the main indicators of BMB work in Kyiv Perinatal Center for 2022 and compare them with the indicators of the previous periods.Materials and methods. The reports on the activities of the BMB in Perinatal Kyiv Center for 2020, 2021 and 2022 were analysed.Results. During 2022, there was a tendency to increase the number of breast milk donors who delivered in other institutions, but the number of donors was similar (26.4 % in 2022 versus 5.7 % and 4.6 % in 2021 and 2020, respectively). In 2020, the recipients of breast milk were 400 newborns, in 2021 – 560 newborns, in 2022 – 2010. A decrease in the quantity of premature newborns in the structure of recipients of donor breast milk was also found – 12.7 % in 2022 versus 74 % and 82 % in previous years.An increase in the number of full-term newborns who received donor breast milk during the lactation is a significant result that corresponds to the social situation. The volume of harvested breast milk decreased from 990 litres in 2020, 980 litres in 2021 to 660 litres in 2022.Conclusions. The Breast Milk Bank (BMB) of the Kyiv Perinatal Center continues to play its role in preserving the life and health of Ukrainians and restoring our country. The volumes of breast milk received from donors in the hard year of 2022 were less than in previous years (660 l vs. 990 l), but an increased number of newborns who received it was found (2010 children in 2022 vs. 560 children in 2021), and the predominance of full-term recipients among them (87.3% of all recipients in 2022 versus 26% in 2021) was observed.Among breast milk donors, women who had premature births continue to dominate – 77 %. The main task of BMB is to involve women with term births to donation. This will allow both to increase the volume of donor breast milk and to improve its quality from the point of view of benefits for the growth of a newborn.

Search engine optimization applies search principles in search engines to assign a higher ranking to the most suitable webpage. Nowadays, information searching is done ubiquitously on the World Wide Web with the help of search engines. However, the process needs to be efficient and produce accurate results simultaneously. In this research, the objectives are to implement and evaluate the Artificial Neural Network and Genetic Algorithms. The accuracy result for both algorithms is compared by implementing keyword ranking, Search Engine Result Page visibility, and time retrieval for document-based and e-commerce websites. To achieve them, firstly, the problem and data are defined. Next, two datasets are importedfrom Kaggle and transformed into a more helpful format. Then, the Artificial Neural Network and Genetic Algorithms are implemented on these datasets in Python using Jupyter Notebook tools. Subsequently, the accuracy of these datasetskeyword ranking, Search Engine Result Page visibility, and time retrieval areobserved based on the output and graph. Lastly, an analysis of the results is performed. Conclusively, the Genetic Algorithm demonstrates a higher percentage of accuracy results than the Artificial Neural Network algorithm in keyword ranking and SERP visibility. However, the accuracy results of time retrieval are vice versa. The results in Genetic Algorithm show 9.0%, 9.0%, and 3.0% in the e-commerce dataset for keyword ranking and 4.0%, 51.0%, and 1.0% in the document-based dataset for SERP visibility. Next, the Artificial Neural Network algorithm shows results of 8.0%, 7.0%, and 7.0% in the e-commerce dataset and 3.0%, 50.0%, and 4.0% in the document-based dataset for time retrieval. Therefore, the results validated the ability of the Genetic Algorithm as one of the most applied algorithms in the search engine optimization field.

Detailed, accessible methods are essential for reproducibility, trust in science and scientific advancement; yet, many studies suggest that the reporting of methodological details in life sciences research publications is often incomplete. This may be due to a lack of incentives or reporting standards, or other cultural or educational factors. Promoting Reusable and Open Methods and Protocols (PRO-MaP) aims to increase and improve the reporting of detailed, reusable and open methods and reusable step-by-step protocols in the life sciences. This initiative began with a workshop convened by the EU Reference Laboratory for alternatives to animal testing (EURL ECVAM) at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre, which included representatives from various stakeholder groups. Our draft recommendations outline actions that four stakeholder groups, researchers, research institutions and departments, publishers and editors, and funders, can take to achieve these goals. While some recommendations address study design and reporting guidelines, the primary focus is on capturing clear, accurate, methodological detail, e.g. with re-usable step-by-step protocols. We welcome feedback on these draft recommendations from members of each stakeholder group, including experts in improving methodological reporting. The final recommendations will be released after incorporating feedback received during consultation sessions. Once the recommendations are finalized, we hope that organizations and individuals from each stakeholder group will join us in collaboratively working to improve the reporting of detailed methods and reusable step-by-step protocols in the life sciences.
Modeling the behaviour of sulfur in magmatic systems from source to surface: Application to Whakaari/White Island, Aotearoa New Zealand, and Etna, Italy

Our understanding of the role of volcanoes in the global sulfur cycle and how volcanic gas emissions can be used to monitor volcanoes is limited by the complex interactions between hydrothermal systems and volcanic sulfur emissions. Hydrothermal systems influence the amount and speciation of volcanogenic sulfur, which is ultimately released to the surface/atmosphere via a range of physicochemical processes. To understand the effect of the hydrothermal system, on surface emissions we model the magmatic-hydrothermal systems at Whakaari/White Island, Aotearoa New Zealand, and Etna, Italy. We quantify the magmatic sulfur inputs using mass balance and MELTS modeling (thermodynamic model of crystallization); model the effects of degassing using Sulfur_X (an empirical model of melt-gas equilibria); and model the influence of the hydrothermal system using CHIM-XPT and EQ3/6 (thermodynamic and kinetic models of gas+water±rock reactions), which we compare to measured plume and fumarole compositions. We find that the sulfur inputs can broadly equal sulfur outputs over long timescales. However, the hydrothermal system can modulate the total mass of sulfur released and its H2S/SO2 ratio on shorter timescales, especially as the system evolves from water- to gas-dominated through the development of dry, gas-dominated pathways.
Malpractice in psychodynamic psychotherapy—A retrospective case study
Authors: Turkia Mika
Published: June 2023

This article describes a case of psychotherapeutic malpractice in Finland in the early 1990s. A patient in their early twenties who had previously been hospitalized for a suicide attempt and extreme abandonment anxiety attended psychodynamic psychotherapy sessions given by a female senior psychoanalyst for nine months. The therapist repeatedly threatened the patient with abandonment, i.e. discontinuation of the sessions if the patient did not 'obey' the therapist's demands. She repeatedly claimed that the patient had said something that the patient did not remember saying. Her conclusions, based on the claimed statements, did not appear legitimate to the patient. Due to the resulting uncertainty, the patient began to lose grounding in reality. In order to be able to ascertain what was real, the patient eventually resorted to secretly recording the sessions and reviewing the recordings afterwards. After six months, the patient concluded that the derealization was due to the therapist. The patient was afraid to confront the therapist and announced the discontinuation of the therapy by sending a postcard. Official complaints by the patient led to only a written warning being issued to the psychoanalyst by her professional association. There was no compensation for the patient. The therapist continued psychotherapy practice for at least a decade. The details of the case were acquired from written documents and audio recordings.
Demographic predictors of bedtime procrastination in the Japanese population

Purpose Bedtime procrastination (BP) is a prevalent and problematic phenomenon in the general population. However, no study on BP has been conducted in Japan, where people sleep the least in the world. The current study developed the Japanese version of the Bedtime Procrastination Scale (BPS) and investigated the relationship between BP, demographic features, and sleep outcomes in a population with a wide range of demographics. Methods To investigate BP in Japan, we developed the Japanese version of the BPS and assessed its internal consistency, test-retest reliability, factor structure validity, construct validity, and criterion-related validity in two samples (N= 252 and N=630). We also investigated the relationship between BP and demographic features (gender, age, and employment status) and sleep outcomes (Athens Insomnia Scale, sleep hours, sleep onset latency, and sleep efficiency).Results: The BPS showed good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and factor structure, construct, and criterion-related validity. Moreover, BPS scores were moderately higher for younger participants than for those in their 40s and older, slightly higher for females than for males, and non-significantly different between the employment statuses. Conclusions This study provides new data on demographic predictors of BP in the Japanese population, which is characterized by short sleep duration. Although there were no clear effects of gender and employment status on BP, age was a relatively strong predictor of BP in the Japanese population. Particularly, individuals in the younger age groups had a higher BP risk than those in the older age groups. This finding warrants further studies targeted at young individuals.
Dimensionality and optimal combination of autonomic fear-conditioning measures in humans

Fear conditioning, also termed threat conditioning, is a commonly used learning model with clinical relevance. Quantification of threat conditioning in humans often relies on conditioned autonomic responses such as skin conductance responses (SCR), pupil size responses (PSR), heart period responses (HPR), or respiration amplitude responses (RAR), which are usually analysed separately. Here, we investigate whether inter-individual variability in differential conditioned responses, averaged across acquisition, exhibits a multi-dimensional structure, and the extent to which their linear combination could enhance the precision of inference on whether threat conditioning has occurred. In a mega-analytic approach, we re-analyze 9 data sets including N = 256 individuals , acquired by the group of the last author, using standard routines in the framework of psychophysiological modelling (PsPM). Our analysis revealed systematic differences in effect size between measures across datasets, but no evidence for a multidimensional structure across various combinations of measures. We derive the statistically optimal weights for combining the four measures and subsets thereof, and we provide out-of-sample performance metrics for these weights, accompanied by bias-corrected confidence intervals. We show that to achieve the same statistical power, combining measures allows for a relevant reduction in sample size, which in a common scenario amounts to roughly 24%. To summarise, we demonstrate a one-dimensional structure of threat conditioning measures, systematic differences in effect size between measures, and provide weights for their optimal linear combination in terms of maximal retrodictive validity.

One look at my twelve-letter, five-syllable surname and you’ll know I’m not Chinese. However, I am what is stereotypically referred to as “ethnic.” My background is not typically white, middle-class, English-speaking or any of the other “norms” of Canadian society. And just like the Chinese Canadians this issue of Canadian Theatre Review is focused on, my “people” and their stories have been missing from the theatrical stages of this country.

Through a Lenz Darkly: Bluemouth Inc.’s S(t)imulated Schizophrenia
Authors: Barton Bruce
Published: June 2023

Last night. I started in room #9D. Iris’s room. I sat on the floor between two elderly women with defiantly dark hair and surprisingly subtle fragrances. The window was open to the sound of rain falling and the perpetual movement of cars and people in the street below. I remember seeing an electric lamp outside on the fire escape, partly covered by plastic or cardboard, basically open to the weather. I wondered if it would short out during the performance. Her tears were real.
Editorial: An Emerging Discourse

In January 2003, I participated in the Festival of Original Theatre (F.O.O.T.), hosted by the graduate students at the Drama Centre at the University of Toronto. When I arrived for my tech run-through — which, up until that point in my spoken-word career, I’d thought of as the sound-check — I stood onstage while the stage manager called questions from the booth at the top of the theatre. Where did I want my light? What colour of light did I want? Did I want to walk into my light or should it come on once I was already on stage? These were difficult questions for which I had no answers. I didn’t have a director; I didn’t block my performances; I simply went onstage and did my little thing, which, at the time, was reciting memorized personal narrative poems about the intersections of class and gender. I settled on a purple light, I think, which faded at the end of my performance. This was my first time performing spoken word at a theatre festival. After the first show, one of the actors who had listened to my performance from backstage asked me who wrote my script. I wrote it, of course, I told her. It was, after all, spoken word performance and not theatre I wasn’t acting, I told her (a bit indignant, I must admit). I was performing my own words, my own stories.
